So, this harvest was just about acceptable, enough for him to live lavishly for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning home yesterday and finding a familiar butcher to process the meat, he couldn't wait to run to the Tianxiang Pavilion to have some fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the process, it was a bit hard to describe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beauty was excellent, and his performance was as stable and efficient as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to the majesty of \"taking on ten\" last time, it paled in comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, early in the morning, he broke free from the hero's grave with great willpower, just to do some business with the little brother he had hit it off with last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he arrived at the Chengnan Market, there were already some people setting up stalls, and the old Daoist Chen, who sold talismans, was sitting on a small stool, looking as calm as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has little fellow Daoist Luo not come yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not yet, probably refining pills at home!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then is he still coming to set up a stall today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Usually, if he hasn't come by this time, he basically won't come to the small market today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disappointment was written all over his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeng Wen was quite disappointed and chatted with old Daoist Chen about his experiences in the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing a customer approach, he intended to take his leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before leaving, he saw old Daoist Chen cautiously holding back a dissatisfied customer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist, are you interested in learning about the God-Concealing Qi-Restraining Talisman?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's that? Is it for concealing aura?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know the Spirit-Hidden Shangren of the God Talisman Sect, right? Let me tell you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeng Wen's expression was a bit strange; he always felt that those words felt familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking far away from the market, he suddenly realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn't that just a replica of what little fellow Daoist Luo had said back then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, the old man has learned to be bad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't think Luo Chen had tricked him, because when Luo Chen was promoting Zhongmiao Pills to him, he never used definitive words, only ambiguous ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the medicinal effect of the Zhongmiao Pills was exactly as Luo Chen had described.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only assume that old Daoist Chen had plagiarized Luo Chen's sales pitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen, the victim, was currently huddled at home, wearing an apron and worshipping Guan Gong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first few pots failed, and the padding is about done; today should finally yield some goods!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second Brother Guan, I've offered incense to you today; you must bless me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering to himself, he kept putting medicinal herbs into the pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The processed fire-dog whip emitted a natural stench, and under the fusion of the fragrances of various spirit herbs, it gave off an indescribable, strange smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The process of boiling the medicine lasted from morning until afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After lifting the lid and seeing the deep red medicinal paste and smelling the refreshing fragrance, Luo Chen clenched his fist hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, this time the sixth pot succeeded; it's a huge improvement!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second Brother Guan, I knew you had me in your heart; even after transmigrating, you are still blessing me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep up the good work tomorrow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a month later, Luo Chen looked at the fifty small jade bottles on the table with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the result of nearly a month of work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty of the bottles contained Grain Grain Bigu Pills, which he had rushed to make over the past two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining twenty bottles were all Zhongmiao Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike the Grain Grain Bigu Pills, which had ten pills per bottle, the Zhongmiao Pills were one pill per bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, this time, the refining of Zhongmiao Pills had only succeeded twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nineteen sets of materials, two pots succeeded; this success rate was really not high, and in terms of pill quality, they were only low-grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Low-grade pills have strong limitations; the medicinal properties are average, and there are strong side effects if taken too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was not something he needed to worry about; he believed that his fellow Daoists had strong self-control—enjoy it, but don't overindulge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Currently, I can only do this much, but as long as the proficiency is built up, the situation will definitely improve!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The future is bright; come on, Chenchen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Packing all the jade bottles into a bag, Luo Chen closed the door and rushed into the inner city of Dahe Market like the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was the day of the large market; this batch of goods had to be sold well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he arrived at the market, it was still sparsely populated; Luo Chen had come too early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Daoist Chen hadn't arrived yet, but his old acquaintance Wang Yuan was already sitting cross-legged on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young man, you don't cherish your body at all; the ground is so cold!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering to himself, Luo Chen greeted Wang Yuan and naturally squatted down in front of his stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh, you've got more things again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to last time, there were several more old books, and even a tattered jade slip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for magic tools, there were four or five more, some of which were still stained with blackish blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Wang, you've pulled off a few big jobs recently!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yuan drooped his eyelids. \"Look all you want, but don't touch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen looked greedily at the old books: \"Five Must-Know Spells for Qi Refining,\" \"Miscellaneous Talks on Hundred Herbs,\" \"Changchun Gong Qi Refining Chapter\"...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all things he wanted, but unfortunately, he had no spirit stones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Wang Yuan sold all these things, plus those magic tools, he didn't know how much he would earn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As far as he knew, a low-grade magic tool cost at least one hundred low-grade spirit stones to start; middle-grade and top-grade ones were outrageously expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing people and seizing treasures—it truly is the fastest way to make money in the cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he wasn't good at such things at all; he was just a humble little cultivator who liked refining pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sighing, he picked up the unsold \"Records of the Six Domains\" and began to read it with relish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Far East Six Domains each have six major sects that have produced Nascent Soul True Persons, such as the Yuding Sword Sect, Hehuan Sect, God Talisman Sect, and Medicine King Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But besides these sects, there are many small sects and cultivation families within each major domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast territory and abundant resources have given birth to countless brilliant figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Often, in every period, strong individuals rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the process of their rise, there is naturally no lack of strange stories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The author of this \"Records of the Six Domains\" was a ninth-layer Qi Refining cultivator who, having no hope of Foundation Establishment, spent the rest of his life writing this book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Limited by his realm and knowledge, many things in it were hearsay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn't stop Luo Chen from using this book to glimpse the tip of the iceberg of the cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just those little corners were enough to make his heart sway and fill him with longing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True Person Yuding swept the mountains and rivers with one sword, stabilizing the great domain; such style is truly magnificent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sighing with emotion, Luo Chen reluctantly put down the book and prepared to set up his stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you like it, take it; this travelogue has too many errors, and it hasn't sold for months.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yuan said indifferently, and with a flick of his finger, the book floated into Luo Chen's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen was surprised, and then overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Brother Wang; I'll return it when I'm done reading.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the bluestone stall with the book, old Daoist Chen couldn't wait to lean over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that old face, Luo Chen smiled slightly. \"Do you want to tell me how good business has been lately?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I want to tell you to remember to pay back the money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen was hit hard; just a moment ago, he felt there were many good people in the cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after he displayed his pills, old Daoist Chen told him a piece of good news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many fellow Daoists have been asking about Zhongmiao Pills lately; you kid are going to get rich!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1651,"2026-06-12T10:35:51.239Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","fb7e74bb1ca95de09456cf6d1b8f348847418a84f10e7c2d4ec87c99df17911f","immortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-chapter-15","immortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-chapter-13",1090,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-cover.jpg"]
