Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1536: Chapter 570 Writing Books, Sudden Enlightenment in the Empty Valley

Coldlight Island.

As the premier super large island in the southeastern part of the North Sea, its land area is incredibly vast, almost twice as expansive as the Yu Ding Realm.

The island is abundant with mineral deposits, Spirit Plants, lakes, and high mountains, essentially an image of the mainland.

Such rich resources, coupled with the presence of many Spirit Veins of various sizes, have attracted numerous powers to thrive and proliferate here.

However, among these powers, Feileng City is the most renowned and the strongest!

And for good reason!

For Feileng City is ruled by a Nascent Soul Stage City Lord—True Master Feileng.

Rumor has it that this woman once had an old acquaintance with a Nascent Soul True Master of Yuan Mo Sect, and it was with the other party’s support that she came to dominate Feileng City, which possesses a Fourth Order Spirit Vein.

After gaining control of this city, her actions have deviated greatly from that of regular Cultivators.

She did not establish a Sect or spread her lineage by establishing a Clan.

She simply cultivates as a Rogue Cultivator within the Cave Heaven blessed land of the city’s Fourth Order Spirit Vein.

Her tranquil and non-contentious way of life has caused the exceptional resources in Feileng City to remain underutilized.

As such, the various powers from other parts of Coldlight Island, upon getting her consent, have gradually moved into Feileng City and commenced their trades.

All they need to do is to contribute a certain amount of profit to True Master Feileng every year to receive her protection.

Under this model, the whole Coldlight Island has slowly formed an unusual state—a mixture of dragons without a leader but yet having one in disguise.

Upon entering the city.

Luo Chen walked down the wide streets, deep in thought.

That True Master Feileng, seemingly uncompetitive and unambitious, actually did not miss out on any profits she ought to earn.

Rather, by adopting this model, she had saved the time that would have otherwise been spent managing the burdens of a Sect and Clan, devoting herself fully to cultivation.

This method could be viable; could it be something for him to draw inspiration from?

However, to emulate this model, one must possess absolute strength to overpower and protect a region.

Just like what he had done in the Flying Swallow Islands!

But clearly, at present, he could only exert absolute power in some resource-poor and remote areas, and could not achieve such absolute suppression in regions abundant with resources.

Instead, due to his lower realm, even if he managed to seize a territory, it would attract covetous glances from all sides.

That would lead to another series of tumultuous conflicts.

Therefore, it’s better to rely on a power, as it’s always good to enjoy the cool under the shade of a big tree!

Suddenly.

Luo Chen came to a halt.

He turned around, his gaze calmly falling on a young man whose brisk steps had abruptly stopped.

The man was dressed in hemp clothes, with a seemingly friendly smile on his face that however betrayed a hint of cunning.

Seeing that Luo Chen had noticed him, the man hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting: ”I am Liu Zhenwei, this side has paid its respects.”

”Get to the point,” Luo Chen said coolly.

Liu Zhenwei cut to the chase and, after self-introducing, was not bothered by Luo Chen’s indifferent attitude; he immediately continued: ”Friend, you seem like a newly arrived foreign Cultivator who may not be familiar with Feileng City. I have lived here for over a hundred years and am incredibly familiar with every corner of the streets. You just need to pay a little bit of Spirit Stones, and I can be your guide, ensuring you navigate the upcoming one-month trade fair with ease.”

After quietly listening to the introduction, Luo Chen shook his head.

”No need.”

With that said, he walked away, sleeves fluttering.

Liu Zhenwei was taken aback; this was the first time he had encountered a foreign Cultivator who had directly refused without even inquiring about the price.

However, he couldn’t just let a plump sheep that he had finally targeted slip away so easily.

He hurried after Luo Chen: ”Friend, trust me, without guidance, you are quite likely to suffer a loss whether you’re selling goods or seeking resources.”

”The same resource might sell for a thousand Spirit Stones in the south of the city but only five hundred in the north.”

”Take for example the rental of Cave Mansions; it’s a business run by three major Golden Core Families together. Although their price fixing is unified, there is also a difference in the concentration of Spirit Qi in the Cave Mansions. If you let me help you, I will definitely select the Cave Mansion with the highest cost-effectiveness for you.”

...

Talking non-stop while walking, Liu Zhenwei virtually talked his mouth dry, but the young man with rosy cheeks remained unmoved.

Liu Zhenwei’s face turned sour as he suddenly leaped forward to block Luo Chen.

”Friend, you may not know, but Feileng City does not prohibit fighting!”

Luo Chen looked coldly ahead and uttered two words.

”Step aside!”

Liu Zhenwei subconsciously wanted to retort, but upon encountering the other’s gaze, he inexplicably felt a moment of timidity.

In a daze, he realized when he came to his senses that the young man’s silhouette had vanished into the bustling crowd.

By this time, three people had caught up from behind.

”Liu Brother, why didn’t you hold on to that man and woman?”

”Did you set the price too high and they didn’t agree? I think you could have lowered it; after all, once we deceive them, can’t we just lead them to a secluded place and deal with them?”

”You can’t set the price too low, otherwise, they’ll definitely be suspicious. Let’s listen to what Liu Brother has to say about what happened!”

Faced with the inquiries from the three, Liu Zhenwei opened his mouth and his face reddened.

Finally, he managed to squeeze out, ”I don’t know either!”

Indeed, how could he grasp the profundities of Luo Chen’s Illusion Techniques?

After the Mirror Flower, Water Moon attained Perfection, it took root in his eyes; even if he changed his Master Cultivation Technique, it could still be activated normally.

Against those whose realms are lower than his own, this technique is almost invincible.

Even against peers of the same strength, Luo Chen is confident in ensnaring them without their notice.

It is only when engaging in battles above his level that Luo Chen is wary of backlash, hence he rarely uses it.
