"When do we start?"
Chen Luo walked in, found a place to sit down, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of water before asking.
"The time has not come yet. I invited you here this time because I want to discuss a business deal with you."
Completely different from his attitude in the Water Palace, the Dragon King of Wanbao Pavilion had a calm aura, like a completely different person. Chen Luo roughly saw some clues. The Dragon King in front of him was just like him, a clone.
"What business?"
Chen Luo was very interested in business, and he had very few resources in the Hedao realm. The few spiritual cores he had earned before were not enough to support him to cultivate to the next realm.
"Are you an alchemist?"
The Dragon King did not answer Chen Luo's question, but asked instead.
"good."
Chen Luo immediately understood the other party's purpose, which was also the advantage of the alchemist. As long as one was an immortal cultivator, he would definitely not be able to do without elixirs. Whether it was daily practice or healing. All these things were inseparable from the assistance of elixirs. The elixirs needed for the Hedao Realm must be refined by a seventh-level alchemist. There were only a few alchemists at the Hedao level in the entire immortal cultivation world, and Chen Luo had never practiced. So far, the highest-grade elixir he had refined was the sixth-level, corresponding to the Return to Void Realm.
"I have a pill recipe here. You can study it and see if you can make it."
The Dragon King put down the book in his hand, took out a piece of paper from it and handed it to Chen Luo.
What caught his eye was a row of precious spiritual materials. There were many kinds of spiritual herbs and medicines, which Chen Luo had never seen before. All of them were medicinal materials that would become extinct after 8,000 years. He had some impression of several main herbs, but he still needed to try how to use them as medicine. Alchemy is not just about throwing the medicine into the furnace to make the pill, but also requires calculating the yin and yang and the five elements. At a low level, Chen Luo could just stew everything in one pot. As long as the technique was correct, the details could be supplemented by the instinct of the brain.
But high-level elixirs are different.
The higher the grade of the elixir, the more sophisticated the requirements for the elixir refining process. In order to improve the success rate of elixir refining, many high-level alchemists will refine some fan-like magical instruments to increase the temperature of the elixir furnace's spiritual fire and increase the success rate of elixir refining.
"It should be fine."
Chen Luo put down the recipe and pushed it back.
He planned to wait until this matter was over, then go find an alchemist at the Hedao realm. If he couldn't find one, he would also accept an alchemist at the Dujie realm or the Mahayana realm.
"oh?"
The dragon king's eyes lit up.
He had consulted many alchemists for this recipe, but no one dared to take it. Chen Luo was the first alchemist who was somewhat confident, which made him excited. If this pill could be refined, his subsequent practice would become very smooth. If he was lucky, he might be able to directly awaken the innate magical power of their Jiaolong clan, further improve his bloodline, and take a step further on the road to becoming a dragon.
"What's the probability?"
"Seventy percent."
Chen Luo figured out a ratio.
He was familiar with this kind of thing. If he wanted people to provide him with spiritual materials for alchemy for free, he had to raise the success rate. Only when the other party saw hope would they choose to invest. Once they started investing, they would not be willing to stop. What he had to do was to refine the alchemy behind closed doors until he completely mastered this recipe and became an orthodox seventh-level alchemist.
Use other people's spiritual materials to refine your own pills.
This is called ability.
Once the Dragon King is tempted, he will be trapped by Chen Luo and become his 'spiritual material supplier' for alchemy.
"Okay! As long as the elixir can be made, I can agree to any conditions."
The Dragon King stated his conditions.
He also knew that there was some water in the probability Chen Luo said, but he didn't care. This pill recipe was very difficult, and Chen Luo was the only one who dared to take it over. In his opinion, even if the 70% success rate was a bit watered down, there must be some solid stuff squeezed out. Cutting it in half would still leave a 35% success rate, which was already worth his gamble.
It can't be all water.
After reaching an agreement, the two men went downstairs and arrived at the fifth floor.
This floor is the spiritual material storage room of Wanbao Pavilion, where all spiritual materials of the spirit refining level are stored. As one of the behind-the-scenes owners of Wanbao Pavilion, Jiaolong King is naturally qualified to withdraw these spiritual materials at will.
"Senior Dai? When did you come here?"
There are quite a few people on the fifth floor.
The auras of these people are all strong, and they are all cultivators above the spirit refining level.
In the old days in the Great Snow Mountain, this would have been absolutely impossible. But after the Plague Beast Calamity began, many defeated sects hid here. The scale of the market town continued to increase with the arrival of these people, and now this barren land is no longer as desolate as before.
The number of Jindan and Yuanying has increased several times, and even cultivators at the level of refining the spirit can occasionally encounter one or two. The fifth floor of Wanbao Tower is the area where spiritual materials at the level of refining the spirit are sold, and here you can see many powerful cultivators at the second step of cultivation.
"It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Zhang."
An old man with a long beard and wearing gray linen clothes turned around and nodded to the person who had spoken before.
"I just came here not long ago. The Immortal Sect killed the Plague Beast in Liangjie Mountain this time and extracted a lot of good things from this evil beast. I also came here to see if I can find some spiritual materials that can be useful to me."
Zhang Xuesong, who spoke first, walked over quickly.
Zhang Xuesong is the head of Songfeng Sect, and has reached the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Dai He, who is talking to him, is a guest of Chunyang Sect, and is a rare Return to Void Realm cultivator. Zhang Xuesong started the conversation because he wanted to establish a friendship with this person.
"The Immortal Sect is really powerful. It can even kill evil creatures like the Plague Beast."
Zhang Xuesong had obviously heard the news, and not just him. Everyone on the fifth floor was just like them, coming for the materials on the plague beast.
After Chen Luo and the dragon came down, they did not attract anyone's attention.
This is the characteristic of the Hedao cultivators, their bodies are integrated with the heaven and earth, unless they show up on their own initiative, even if the cultivators of lower realms walk by them, they will not be able to sense their presence.
"The Pure Yang Immortal Sect killed a plague beast?"
Chen Luo turned around and asked.
He seldom cared about what happened in the outside world. He had been in seclusion for many years. When he suddenly heard about the Chunyang Immortal Sect killing the plague beast, he couldn't help but feel curious.
"It's useless. Conventional means can't kill the plague beast at all."
The Dragon King also knew this news, and he knew it in more detail than those people on the pavilion. He even knew that the person who killed the plague beast was the Taoist Mu from the Pure Yang Sect, who was the person they needed to deal with later.
Just as the two were chatting, footsteps were suddenly heard on the stairs.
Two embarrassed figures rushed in from outside.
Chen Luo remembered that the clothes on the two figures were exactly the clothes worn by the core disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect. Not long after the two rushed in, they quickly ran towards the top floor. As a result, just after taking two steps, they saw a figure rushing up from below.
The man was dressed in the attire of a disciple of the Pure Yang Sect, holding a long sword in his hand. His murderous eyes swept around and finally stopped on the two people in front of him.
"Hand over the purple tablet!"
The disciple of Chunyang Immortal Sect shouted angrily, and soon a group of people caught up with him. All of them were wearing the clothes of Chunyang Immortal Sect.
"We were the first to discover the purple slip. Aren't you afraid of causing a war between the two sects by doing this?"
The Ancient Sword Sect disciple who ran to the stairs was blocked by an invisible force and his face changed. He could only stop and take out his magic weapon for defense.
"Don't put too much blame on me. This is the territory of our Chunyang Immortal Sect."
The leading disciple of the Chunyang Immortal Sect stared at the disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect who was speaking.
"When did this barren and desolate land become the territory of your Chunyang Immortal Sect?" The disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect laughed in anger.
This purple tablet was dug out from the ruins by the two brothers after risking their lives.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they left the ruins, a strange phenomenon occurred, which also attracted the disciples of the Pure Yang Sect. After a chase, the two people who were desperate fled to the Wanbao Tower, hoping to borrow the power of the Wanbao Tower to save their lives and delay time to wait for the rescue of the sect.
"Stop talking nonsense! Are you going to hand over the purple scroll or not?"
Several disciples of the Pure Yang Sect lost their patience. They knew the purpose of these two people and naturally would not give them a chance to delay. Dai He and Zhang Xuesong, who were chatting, looked over. After seeing the clothes of the two disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect, Dai He took a few steps forward and quietly blocked the window, cutting off the chance of the two disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect to escape.
"You don't care?"
Chen Luo glanced at the Dragon King and asked.
The mysterious boss mentioned by these people is none other than the Jiaolong King of the demon race. He is able to build pavilions in so many markets in the world of immortal cultivation. The strength of Wanbao Tower is definitely not weak. As the chief shopkeeper of Wanbao Tower, Jiaolong King can be regarded as a hegemon, and ordinary immortal cultivators dare not provoke him at all.
"in spite of."
The Dragon King decisively refused.
Then, he acted as if he didn't see these people. After handing the spiritual materials needed for alchemy to Chen Luo, he left in a hurry.
The Ancient Sword Sect and the Pure Yang Immortal Sect were both Dao Sects at the level of the Upper Nine Sects. They all had ancestors at the level of the He Dao Sect behind them. He didn't know if beings of this level would fight each other once they came, but he, a powerful demon clan member, would definitely be blocked in place, and if things went wrong, he would be strangled by the people of these two sects and skinned alive.
The whole body of a dragon is full of treasures, this is something everyone in the world of immortal cultivation knows.
"They want to stall for time!"
"Go! Get the purple tablet back first."
Several disciples of the Chunyang Immortal Sect could no longer hold back, and simultaneously took out their magic weapons and attacked the two surrounded disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect.
These people take action without caring about the lives of others.
In just a few moments, most of the cabinets on the fifth floor were destroyed, and a large amount of spiritual materials were scattered on the ground. Some monks who were watching the fun took the opportunity to make a lot of money.
The two disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect are also ruthless people.
After being hit by two swords, he immediately fought back, blocking the attack with his life, and seriously injured two people. Chaotic spiritual energy swirled in this floor, and the outer protective ban lit up, forming a circle of closed space, trapping everyone inside.
Can't go in, can't go out. (End of this chapter)
