"How is Master Wang Dan these days?"

Lu Xuanping walked around the alchemy shop and then found the alchemist named Wang. He needed to ask about the latest situation of the alchemy shop.

At this moment, the alchemist surnamed Wang saw Lu Xuanping coming in, and immediately stood up from his seat, bowed respectfully to Lu Xuanping, and called him "Senior Lu". He was originally the one with the highest status below the Golden Core in the Wang family.

But after the death of the Jindan cultivator of the Wang family, he had to devote himself to the Lu family and do his best to preserve the family.

Four years ago, many cultivators in the family were transferred to the front line, but no one from the Lu family went out. It was obvious that they were deeply loved by Taihang Zhenren. In addition, Lu Xuanping had reached the Golden Core stage in a short period of time, and he might be able to form the Nascent Soul stage in the future. Naturally, such a big shot had to be flattered, both for himself and the family.

When Lu Xuanping saw Master Wang Dan saying this, he said, "Master Wang Dan, why do you say that?"

"Senior Lu is already a Jindan master, so the difference in realm should naturally be divided into high and low levels."

"Alas, that's wrong. Master Wang is one of us in the Danfang, and he is also a brother to me. You can just call me Xuanping."

Master Wang Dan shook his head.

Seeing this, Lu Xuanping said, "Well, if you don't want to, you can also call me Master Xuanping."

After hearing this, Master Wang Dan started to call him "Master Xuanping" again, but he was still very happy in his heart.

After hearing this, Lu Xuanping stopped worrying about the name and asked, "Master Wang Dan, how is the Danfang business going now?"

When Master Wang heard Lu Xuanping asking about the business of the alchemy shop, he immediately laughed bitterly, "Generally speaking, business will be better after the Four Lakes Secret Realm is opened, but after the Four Lakes Secret Realm is closed, business is often much slower, but it is impossible for it to drop to this level."

"There hasn't been a single case of alchemy business this month."

Hearing this, Lu Xuanping frowned slightly. The alchemy business is an important source of spirit stones for the family.

I only heard Master Wang continue to say, "Generally speaking, the business of the Danfang is composed of three parts. The first part is the spiritual medicine obtained when the secret realm is opened. In order to protect the welfare of the family, the family will release some at each stage."

"The second part is those foundation-building families. Although they don't grow many spiritual herbs, there are many foundation-building families. We are the only two families doing this business, so we can survive. Generally speaking, they only have big business every 20 to 50 years, and they don't have any stock left after the front line has drawn a large amount of resources."

Speaking of twenty years. Master Wang looked at Lu Xuanping and thought of twenty years ago, when the Lu family sold a batch of medicinal materials directly to their Wang family's alchemy workshop. And then twenty years later, Lu Xuanyuan broke through and became a golden elixir. Thinking of the past, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But before he could finish his grief, Lu Xuanping asked, "In other words, the market's usual business relies on independent cultivators?"

"Yes, there are many uninhabited islands on the vast sea of ​​this whirlpool sea. Compared with the medicinal herbs planted by the foundation-building cultivators, there are also many spiritual medicines in the uninhabited places in the deep mountains and forests on those islands. However, Master Xuanping also knows that there are many monsters on this vast sea, and if you don't have some cultivation, you will die."

Lu Xuanping naturally knew about the sea monsters. Although the sea monsters in this vortex sea area were not strong, ordinary first-level and second-level monsters occupying the terrain were enough to give Qi-refining cultivators a hard time.

"But now many independent cultivators are in seclusion and unwilling to come out. After all, the demon cultivators are killing people everywhere. They don't kill the family forces but the independent cultivators. The independent cultivators have no backers and can't afford to offend these people, so they have to stay in seclusion and wait for this incident to pass."

"With fewer people going out to collect herbs, the output of spiritual herbs has decreased, and naturally fewer people come to us to make pills."

Lu Xuanping couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this. This was a dead cycle and there was no way to break it. The best way to break it was to eliminate the evil path, and then the casual cultivators would naturally come out. After all, casual cultivators didn't have any spiritual veins, and they relied on the free spiritual energy between heaven and earth, so their cultivation speed was slow.

The trick of the demons was nothing more than boiling a frog in warm water, eroding the foundation of the righteous path bit by bit, first the mortals, then the independent cultivators, and then the families after some independent cultivators built their foundations. When the time was right, they would attack the island. No wonder Master Dong Xuan invited him to participate in the extermination of the demons when he saw him, and even took out the "Spring and Wood".

It was still late and many shops in the city were closed. Lu Xuanping had no choice but to recuperate in the secret room as it was not the time to make the elixir yet.

"Slow down, Master Xuanping!"

"No need to send me off, Shopkeeper Ye."

Lu Xuanping couldn't help but be disappointed when he came out of Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce. The things in Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce were indeed good, and there were indeed several materials for refining magic weapons, but they were different from what Lu Xuanping had imagined. The magic weapon he used would obviously be used for a long time, and should at least have the potential to reach the Nascent Soul level in the future. The "Spring and Wood" was okay as an auxiliary material, but the materials of the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce were not even as good as the "Spring and Wood". How could Lu Xuanping not be disappointed?

He also asked Manager Ye of the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce, and learned that all materials were rising in price. In the end, he could only leave a message to the other party, asking him to pay attention to the five elements materials, and then left in disappointment.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Lu Xuanping also visited other places in the market town, but found no better materials at all. As for the remaining family forces, the only two Jindan Zhenren from the Mu family and the Chi family were not visited. After all, these two families were in the equipment refining business. As for the ancestor of the Lin family, he was busy in seclusion preparing for a breakthrough and would not meet anyone.

Of course, if he still can't find it, he can only go to the Whirlpool Market. Although that is the territory of Feiyu Sect, he is already a Jindan cultivator at this moment and is not afraid of the Feiyu Sect's Jindan cultivators ambushing him halfway.

Now Lu Xuanping is preparing to go to the place where the foundation-building stage monks live in the market town. He needs to take a look at the scene of the attack by these evil monks and look for some clues everywhere so as to solve these problems.

Lu Xuanping had previously asked Master Dong Xuan why he didn't search the souls of these cultivators.

But according to Master Dong Xuan, the consciousness of these demonic monks seemed to have been restricted by someone. Once the soul is searched, the entire soul will self-destruct, and no information can be found at all.

Master Dong Xuan had taken action twice before. The second time, the market was attacked. If the attackers were not so weak, the market would have been breached. It was because of the attack on Taihang Market that the number of customers in the market decreased, and everyone preferred to go to the safer Whirlpool Market.

Therefore, Master Dong Xuan never leaves this market. As a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, he can even fight against three enemies alone with the formation he has set up in the Taihang Market for many years.

If Lu Xuanping had not appeared, he would even use spirit stones to issue a commission at the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce to invite Jindan cultivators from other sea areas to help eliminate the demons.
