Chapter 206

In the hall, which was generally reddish in tone, square tables and soft couches were arranged.

Luo Chen looked at the attendees calmly.

Except for the maids, they were all Foundation Establishment True Persons.

Opposite were Kang Dongyue and Yu Rou, two local immortal cultivation families, and two other Foundation Establishment True Persons from the Spirit Medicine Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.

No Foundation Establishment True Persons from other sects outside the region were seen.

Or rather, they hadn't arranged for any Foundation Establishment True Persons in Taishan Market to begin with.

After all, Taishan Market is not as important as Dahe Market, and those major sects don't have so many Foundation Establishment cultivators to arrange outside.

That old cultivator with white hair should be from Snow Lotus Market.

There was another Foundation Establishment True Person with a sallow complexion whose origin could not be seen; he should be a loose cultivator from nearby.

If you add the four Foundation Establishment cultivators from Dahe Market, there were ten of them.

This number is a bit large for a mere market.

But this is after the auction has just finished.

Compared to Dahe Market back then, it was a bit inferior.

"Hmm?"

Luo Chen, who was looking at the others, suddenly noticed a gaze staring at him.

He glanced at the source of the gaze with the corner of his eye without a trace.

"It's that Foundation Establishment True Person with a sallow complexion; why is he staring at me?"

Although it was just a hurried glance.

But the sinister expression on that person's face still fell into Luo Chen's eyes.

"Since Foundation Establishment, I haven't made many enemies; why does he show that kind of expression towards me... 'Qingyuan Wonderful Elixir Method'?"

That's it!

In the blink of an eye, Luo Chen guessed the reason why the other party had such great hostility towards him.

At the auction before, it was this person who competed with him for the "Qingyuan Wonderful Elixir Method."

Looking at this person's complexion, it doesn't look like the ruddy complexion of a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator.

It seems that he was injured in his origin when he was young or when he broke through the realm.

The other party was so thirsty for the "Qingyuan Wonderful Elixir Method," so this injury might also be related to elixir poison?

But in an instant, thoughts turned in Luo Chen's mind, but he didn't make any move.

He waited quietly.

Not long after, Huo Hu, with a glowing face, appeared in the main seat.

"Thank you all very much for coming to support the Huo family today!"

"Setting up this evening banquet is to express my gratitude."

"Take your seats!"

Wang Haichao, who had been standing and chatting before, left Kang Dongyue and Yu Rou and sat back on the Dahe Market side.

However, the position was further forward and further away from the three of Luo Chen.

This scene fell into the eyes of the three cultivators from Dahe Market.

Everyone knew what it meant.

After three rounds of drinks.

Huo Hu said some polite words, roughly about asking everyone to take care of the future development of Taishan Market.

Finally, the topic fell on the four major forces of Dahe Market.

Looking at Wang Haichao and the four, Huo Hu restrained his smile.

"Our Taishan Market is small and has few resources, so it really can't support too many Foundation Establishment True Persons."

"So this time, we can only accommodate one of your families to settle here."

"After thinking it over, the Huo family has made a resolution on behalf of Taishan Market."

"Fellow Daoist Wang's Great River Gang is good at water transport business and can make good use of the geographical environment of the Lancang River. Therefore, we can only allow the Great River Gang to stay."

After the resolution was stated.

Huo Hu didn't say anything more and looked at everyone with a smile.

Nangong Jin's face turned black immediately.

Wang Haichao didn't hesitate and stood up immediately, expressing that he would live in harmony with the three major families of Taishan Market and develop together in the future.

Even if it was expected.

But this scene still made Li Yixian feel sad in her heart.

She couldn't help but look sideways at Luo Chen, only to see that he was calm and composed, his expression still indifferent.

"That's right, after all, the result was known long ago, and any fluke was just self-deception."

After confirming that the Great River Gang would stay.

This evening banquet basically had no meaning to continue.

Huo Hu changed the subject and asked about the whereabouts of Nangong Jin and the others.

"Actually, if you don't have a good place to stay, I can recommend a place."

"Liuguang Market!"

"A hundred years ago, it was a prosperous market; although it became dilapidated after being tossed by the Yuding Sword Pavilion, the foundation is there."

"Now that only the Bai family is located there, there is plenty of space to accommodate you."

Nangong Jin was moved.

Li Yixian, however, showed hesitation.

The atmosphere in that place is not very good!

"Of course, I'm just making a suggestion; you can decide for yourselves whether to go or not."

"However, you probably can't stay in Taishan Market for long."

Li Yixian and Nangong Jin looked at each other.

This is an order to evict guests!

Huo Hu was very satisfied with the current result.

The auction ended successfully, and the Great River Gang stayed to become the Huo family's arm.

And he himself avoided the whirlpool of the Yan Alliance participating in the war between the two major Nascent Soul sects.

After a few more years, when the Huo family develops and grows, he can also return to the Yan Alliance to continue his cultivation; everything is in order.

Scanning across the sorrowful Nangong Jin and the thoughtful Li Yixian, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

Just a few stray dogs!

And they still want to squeeze into Taishan Market.

Although this place is not a holy land for cultivation, it is the foundation of his Huo family.

However, when he saw Luo Chen, who was silent and had a calm expression, his smile stalled slightly.

He really doesn't like this person.

After the evening banquet ended.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators went down Red Toad Mountain one after another.

Luo Chen walked to the side with Kang Dongyue.

The old man took out a map from his storage bag and handed it to Luo Chen.

"This is the map you want; there are a total of three safe paths to Tianlan Xiancheng."

Luo Chen's eyes lit up, and he gripped the map in his hand tightly.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist."

Kang Dongyue waved his hand, "It's too formal to thank me; I'm still thinking that after you settle down, you can continue to refine elixirs in large quantities and continue to cooperate with my Kang family's Jin Shi Pavilion."

"Definitely!"

"In addition, I need to remind you. These three paths, while safe, are only relatively safe. I have marked a few places where bandits often appear; you should also pay attention when the time comes."

Luo Chen nodded heavily.

For this map, he paid a not-so-light price.

In fact, he also had an incomplete path to Tianlan Xiancheng in his hands, which was attached to the autobiography of the Soul-Refining Loose Cultivator.

But that road, after one or two hundred years, I'm afraid things have already changed.

The Kang family has been operating in the vicinity for many years, so they must update maps and such things in real time.

Therefore, it is still necessary to get a new one.

"Fellow Daoist Kang, it's ten thousand miles away; I hope we can meet again in the future." Luo Chen arched his hands, his face sincere.

Kang Dongyue smiled slightly and also arched his hands in return.

"Smooth sailing, I wish you a bright future and longevity in sight!"

Watching Luo Chen's back as he rode the clouds away, Kang Dongyue was filled with emotion.

Youth is good!

After Foundation Establishment, there are no worries, and he can leave whenever he wants.

Unlike himself, trapped in one place, the older he gets, the less he wants to toss and turn.

"Fellow Daoist Kang, are you very familiar with that Foundation Establishment cultivator from Dahe Market?"

A soft voice came from his ear.

Kang Dongyue smiled: "I wouldn't say very familiar, but he is indeed a very interesting person."

Yu Rou stood by, a look of contemplation in her eyes.

"Do you want to get to know him?" Kang Dongyue asked curiously.

Yu Rou shook her head hurriedly, "No, just curious."

Kang Dongyue frowned, just curious?

When he returned to the ship, it was already late at night.

But the Luo Tian Society's ship was still brightly lit.

"President, when are we leaving?" Sima Hui Niang asked curiously.

Luo Chen took out the map and put it in her hand.

"Tomorrow morning!"

Sima Hui Niang was surprised, in such a hurry?

However, she didn't raise any objections; in the society, Luo Chen's words were final.

Since it was decided to leave tomorrow morning, then tonight they had to get busy.

After Sima Hui Niang went down, Luo Chen took out the "Qingyuan Wonderful Elixir Method."

Settling in Taishan Market?

From the beginning, it was not his first choice!

Small and resource-poor, it is far inferior to Dahe Market.

Most importantly, there is no excellent cultivation environment here.

With his poor aptitude, if he wants to achieve Core Formation early, he must possess a second-tier or even third-tier spiritual land!

Taishan Market cannot satisfy him.

It can even be said that most markets with masters cannot reach this condition.

Only immortal cities, large immortal cities!

Coming here is just to safely pass the first stage of leaving Dahe Market, and by the way, to train the cultivators of the Luo Tian Society along the way.

After all, long-distance journeys are often the most troublesome at the beginning.

If they can be twisted into a rope at the beginning.

Then it will be more convenient to do anything later.

Besides this, Luo Chen's most important goal is the detoxification method in his hand.

"Qingyuan Wonderful Elixir Method"

"According to Kang Dongyue, it was obtained by the Yan Alliance from the legacy of a Foundation Establishment disciple of the Green Elixir Valley during the early friction between the two major Nascent Soul sects."

"Green Elixir Valley..."

Muttering this name, Luo Chen was very interested.

Most loose cultivators in Dahe Market only know about the elixirs of the Medicine King Sect.

However, almost all sects will dabble in elixir refining.

After all, some auxiliary elixirs related to their own divine arts and Dao methods are lifelines, so naturally, they cannot let others manipulate them.

Just like the Yuding Sword Pavilion's specialty, Clear Liquid.

This Green Elixir Valley is a major Core Formation sect in the Yuding Region that is very good at refining elixirs.

Especially for elixirs in the Foundation Establishment stage, they have several specialties.

However, limited by the sect's strength, they cannot spread their industry across the Yuding Region, so they are not well-known among low-level loose cultivators.

Such a sect can be said to have studied every aspect of elixirs to the best of their ability.

Elixir poison, a product that seems inconspicuous but actually greatly affects the value of elixirs, must also be studied with great effort.

"According to what is said above, entry-level can slightly resolve trace amounts of elixir poison."

"Small success takes three years; at this time, it can inhibit the growth of elixir poison."

"If you want to completely solve elixir poison, it will take at least five years."

"If you want this method to reach great success, it will take at least ten years, and it also depends on whether the cultivator himself is good at spell cultivation."

"However, after great success, there are many benefits. While taking elixirs, regularly operating this method can resolve elixir poison at any time. It can even convert some of the essence containing medicinal power into absorbable spiritual power, which has the effect of clearing meridians and consolidating the foundation."

Time!

After a slight study, the realization Luo Chen reached was that this technique requires special time to cultivate.

No wonder this technique cannot be widely circulated among low-level cultivators.

For low-level cultivators, what they need most is time.

Ten years!

How many ten years can a low-level cultivator have in a lifetime?

Moreover, even if you master this technique, where can you get a large supply of elixirs.

Not to mention Qi Refining cultivators, even for Foundation Establishment True Persons, this technique seems a bit tasteless.

Anyone who can cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage, even if they are loose cultivators, their aptitude will not be particularly poor.

Rather than spending time solving elixir poison, it is better to strictly control the frequency of elixirs and cultivation from the beginning, so naturally, elixir poison will not be produced.

"But I am in great need of this technique, which can allow me to resolve the elixir poison in my body."

"And my spell cultivation talent is far superior to my cultivation aptitude, elixir refining talent, etc. Great success is hard to say, but small success is definitely not difficult."

At the small success stage, it can already inhibit the production of new elixir poison.

By then, he can take elixirs to accelerate cultivation.

Give it ten or so years, with the blessing of the proficiency system, great success will also be within reach.

Ten or so years of time, it is not yet time to face the dilemma of Core Formation.

After solving the legacy of elixir poison, there will be plenty of time to prepare Core Formation resources.

Luo Chen's gaze is very long-term!

He did not choose to give up because of a temporary predicament.

He was able to spend a lot of time researching the Fireball Technique back then, pushing it through the old to bring forth the new, from nothing to something, and even after reaching Great Perfection, he could still constantly deduce it.

It can be said that he has never lacked patience and determination.

After browsing through it again.

Luo Chen immediately began to cultivate according to the method above.

"The Qi sea must not be polluted, how can the Dao foundation tolerate filth."

"Returning to the same path sooner or later, resolving poison has a clear source..."

Mobilizing a weak spiritual power in his body, he tried to form a small vortex.

"Hmm!"

With a muffled groan, Luo Chen's face turned pale for a moment.

The first time, he failed.

Trying to form a spiritual power vortex in a calm Qi sea would inevitably disturb the quiet environment in his body.

That moment of turbulence caused his Qi sea to fluctuate for a moment.

The consequence was damage to the countless tiny meridians connected to the Qi sea.

"Fortunately, my body refining is at Great Perfection; this little bit of damage won't affect anything."

"If it really doesn't work, I can take the Supplementing and Moistening Meridian Liquid."

"It's just that in that case, it belongs to drinking poison to quench thirst."

The medicinal power of the Moistening Meridian Supplementing Liquid needs to circulate through the meridians and Qi sea to have a repair effect.

Naturally, it will also produce trace amounts of elixir poison.

This is almost equivalent to detoxifying on one side and taking poison on the other.

But this is also an unavoidable choice under the current circumstances.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Chen tried again.

It has to be said.

Luo Chen's talent in spells is truly good.

After several failures, a tiny spiritual power vortex took shape.

Luo Chen poured his heart and soul into it, controlling the spiritual power vortex to rotate constantly.

A night passed, and the white mist was hazy.

Luo Chen slowly emerged from the bitter cultivation state of the "Qingyuan Wonderful Elixir Method."

Just for a moment, he smelled a disgusting strange smell.

"Eh?"

Luo Chen stretched out his finger, reached into his clothes, and wiped a circle on his small belly.

A thin, damp layer of black dirt appeared on his fingertip.

There was an uncomfortable feeling on his body.

With the operation of the Spirit Eye Technique, there was a thin layer of dirt all over his body, especially where his navel was, which was even more disgusting.

"So the saying that pores can excrete waste is true!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, not annoyed, but very happy.

This means that the Qingyuan Wonderful Elixir Method is indeed effective.

Now, just at the initial entry stage, it is already excreting the excess elixir poison from his body.

If he can cultivate it to the stage of entering the hall, he can resolve the elixir poison barriers solidified on the inner wall of the Qi sea.

He took out clean water from his storage bag.

He took off his clothes and washed from head to toe.

Then he changed into new clothes.

Due to psychological factors, even if he couldn't smell any smell, Luo Chen habitually gave himself a Cleaning Technique.

Only then could he be considered clean all over, untainted by dust.

Not to mention, after one night, Luo Chen's complexion was much better.

Even the skin of a middle-aged person became a bit fairer and smoother.

This "Qingyuan Wonderful Elixir Method" actually has the effect of detoxifying and nourishing beauty.

Luo Chen shook his head and walked out the door.

At this moment, the white mist was hazy, and a huge flying ship was hovering over the Lancang River.

Luo Chen moved his body and landed on the flying ship.

Looking around, three big mountains stood in the place where white clouds grew, which had a bit of the atmosphere of a holy land for immortals.

Luo Chen curled his lips and looked at the shore.

Li Yixian and Nangong Jin, with their respective family members, were looking up at him.

The movement of the Luo Tian Society last night could not be hidden from people.

So, this scene happened.

With his hands behind his back, Luo Chen looked at the two major Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Between them, there were no words.

Finally, Luo Chen nodded gently.

Between heaven and earth, a touch of golden light emerged from the distance of the big river.

"Let's go!"
