~17 min read 3,359 words

The main text of "Starting as an Alchemy Grandmaster," Chapter 254: Generous Luo Chen, Swallowing Three Magic Treasures in One Bite. In the crowded central square of the Xiancheng.

The free trading assembly is being held lively.

Those loose cultivators who are not qualified to participate in the auction mostly vented their enthusiasm on this free trading assembly.

Even the wealthy people who are qualified to participate in the auction will stroll around this free trading assembly from time to time.

Maybe they can find something good.

The third day of the trading assembly.

A figure squatted on the ground, shaking a wave-swallowing sea pot.

Even though it was stored in a magic tool, he still felt a heavy force.

The cultivator opposite him was talking eloquently about his things.

"Senior, I definitely won't lie to you. These three drops of liquid are absolutely Heavy Profound Nether Water."

"It's just that the quantity is too scarce, plus the Xiancheng charges expensive handling fees, so I brought it out to sell."

"If you are sincere, take it for ten thousand spirit stones!"

Luo Chen held the wave-swallowing sea pot, a look of regret on his face.

"Although it's Heavy Profound Nether Water that claims to have the power of a thousand jun per drop, the quantity is really too small."

"Without more than ten drops, it can't gather the power of ten thousand jun, which is too chicken-rib."

While speaking, he casually put down the magic tool.

Afterward, he stood up and made a gesture to leave.

The Qi Refining cultivator was anxious.

"Senior, that's not how you say it!"

"It's impossible for ordinary people to take out more than ten drops of Heavy Profound Nether Water at once. You can completely buy three drops first, and slowly gather the rest when you have the chance!"

Luo Chen paused, rubbing his chin.

"What you said seems to make some sense?"

"Then how about this, five thousand, I'll take it all."

That loose cultivator was stunned.

He had seen people bargaining.

He had never seen such bargaining.

Directly cutting it in half!

Swallowing his saliva, he muttered: "Senior, this is a third-grade material, is five thousand too disrespectful to it?"

"Then how much do you want? I'll say it first, ten thousand, it's really not worth it."

The loose cultivator thought seriously, "Nine thousand, three thousand per drop is really not expensive!"

"You are not sincere!"

Luo Chen turned and left.

The loose cultivator was really anxious now, this Heavy Profound Nether Water, although famous, is indeed chicken-rib before gathering a huge quantity.

Even at the auction, this quantity would just be ignored.

It was hard to meet a customer who was interested, how could he let it go.

He rushed out from the stall and blocked Luo Chen's way.

"Senior, give me a number, a sincere one."

Luo Chen frowned, "We each take a step back, compromise. Seven thousand five, if it works, it works, if not, forget it!"

Hearing this price, a look of hesitation appeared on the loose cultivator's face.

Seeing Luo Chen's indifferent appearance, he could only grit his teeth.

"Fine, deal!"

Walking in the spacious yet crowded market, Luo Chen played with the wave-swallowing sea pot.

Even though there were only three drops of liquid inside, it felt as if he was holding a small lake in his hand.

Heavy and condensed!

He was in a good mood.

After strolling for two days before, he gained nothing.

Didn't expect that just after going out today, he would encounter good things.

This Heavy Profound Nether Water is a third-grade water-system material.

In the world of immortal cultivation, not to mention unknown, it is also famous!

One drop claims to have the power of a thousand jun, if you can gather dozens of drops and refine them completely, among peers, there are few rivals.

If you achieve the number of three hundred and sixty-five cycles, it is said that you can make rivers change their course and waterfalls flow backward!

It's just that, the number of cycles of Heavy Profound Nether Water is no longer something Foundation Establishment True Persons can control, only Core Formation superiors can use it like an arm.

This thing, for Luo Chen who practices fire and wood methods, is of no great use.

He spent some effort to buy it, mainly to prepare for Duan Feng.

This thing is precisely one of the two main materials missing from that flying sword magic treasure embryo.

It doesn't need much, just one drop is enough.

To achieve a magic treasure, what is needed is a qualitative change, not a quantitative change.

The extra two drops are not a waste, and since he didn't send any decent congratulatory gift after Duan Feng's Foundation Establishment, he would just give these two drops of Heavy Profound Nether Water to him!

He had also flipped through the "Canghai Breaking Waves Technique" that he practiced.

It mentioned the means of condensing killing moves by borrowing unique heaven and earth strange water.

Such as the Kui Water True Essence of the Duan family's Ze Guo Gui Tu, or this Heavy Profound Nether Water.

The former is only second-grade, relying on quantity to win, in terms of potential and power, it is far inferior to Heavy Profound Nether Water.

It's just that if the killing move wants to become stronger, it still depends on Duan Feng himself to collect more Heavy Profound Nether Water in the future.

Putting away the wave-swallowing sea pot, Luo Chen's footsteps suddenly stopped.

He took two steps back and walked to a stall in the corner.

Magic tools, magic tools, still magic tools!

Every magic tool was stained with various filth.

Either bloodstains, or evil energy, or some strange scars.

From this, it can be seen that these magic tools are basically goods with improper sources.

On every magic tool, a price was marked.

Especially a sign that was eye-catching.

"No bargaining!"

This stall, although in the corner, was not deserted.

It was surrounded by people.

"One thousand five hundred spirit stones, can you buy a high-grade magic tool?"

The speaker was a low-level cultivator at Qi Refining Level 7.

His eyes were burning as he looked at a rusty flying sword.

The scarred stall owner glanced at him coldly, "No bargaining, if you want it, pay the spirit stones directly."

That low-level cultivator couldn't wait to take out a large sum of spirit stones, and after paying, he took the high-grade flying sword and left quickly.

Seeing his appearance of treating a rusty sword as a treasure, among the onlookers, there was no lack of sneers.

The scarred stall owner put away the spirit stones and said coldly: "The magic tools I have here are good and bad. The price is set, no bargaining, no returns after sale."

In other words, he is not responsible for the quality, buying depends on one's own vision!

Others heard it and didn't refute.

There are many such stalls.

Some cultivators, with a dull personality, don't like to bargain, so they simply do this one-off deal.

It's just that this scarred stall owner at the Qi Refining Great Perfection realm had put out too many magic tools.

Some things, at a glance, are old antiques from years ago.

Luo Chen restrained his aura and mixed in the crowd.

His gaze fell on the three things closest to the scarred stall owner.

They were a copper mirror, a banner, and a compass.

Next to each item, a price was marked on a paper sign.

Thirty thousand, twenty thousand, fifteen thousand.

This expensive price seemed to have declared the identity of these three things.

Magic treasure!

In reality, this is the reason why so many onlookers could be gathered!

No one had ever seen a Qi Refining cultivator take out three magic treasures in one breath!

Even if they all looked like incomplete magic treasures.

Finally, someone couldn't help but ask: "Fellow Daoist, you didn't empty out a cave dwelling left by some Core Formation cultivator, did you?"

Combined with those rusty magic tools, it's no wonder someone would think so.

Facing this question, the scarred stall owner said coldly: "Buy if you want, too much nonsense, why do you care where these things come from?"

Although he didn't get angry, his words were not polite at all.

Cooperating with the Qi Refining Great Perfection realm, plus that fierce evil aura, he actually stunned a group of people.

It was also at this time that Luo Chen stepped out from the crowd.

"Are these three magic treasures all incomplete?"

At this moment, he revealed a trace of pure spiritual power fluctuation of the Foundation Establishment stage.

The onlookers were all shocked.

How did a Foundation Establishment True Person stroll to such a remote corner?

Facing Luo Chen.

The scarred face, which was fierce before, softened immediately.

He said with a trace of respect: "They are indeed incomplete, so they couldn't be sent to the auction, so I brought them out to sell."

"Since they are incomplete, how can you guarantee whether they can still be used?" Luo Chen asked.

The scarred face told the truth: "I also can't guarantee whether they can be used, so it all depends on Senior's vision."

He only has the Qi Refining realm.

Facing the commonly used items of Core Formation cultivators, he naturally couldn't judge.

Luo Chen didn't make things difficult for him, but asked curiously: "Then these three magic treasures, which aspects are they respectively? This, do you know?"

The scarred face hesitated.

Afterward, he said: "My knowledge is insufficient, I only know that this compass is an array disk, the banner is named Soul Gathering Banner, and as for this copper mirror, I don't know what it's used for."

Luo Chen looked at him deeply.

Because of that hesitation.

It can be seen that the other party has reservations.

However, this kind of trading assembly mainly focuses on free trading, one is willing to hit, the other is willing to suffer.

He couldn't force it either.

"Let me take a look!"

If it were someone else who wanted to try, he would definitely not be willing.

But Luo Chen is a Foundation Establishment True Person.

The scarred face naturally couldn't refuse.

Respectfully, he handed the three magic treasures to Luo Chen.

First was the cheapest compass, Luo Chen injected spiritual power, there was no reaction.

He thought about it, and used the spiritual sense restriction method from Duan Qiankun and Huo Hu's storage bags to strike a restriction composed of spiritual power.

Hum...

With a humming sound, a faint array spread out.

Luo Chen's figure also became looming.

Brows raised, Luo Chen withdrew the restriction, and his body outline became clear.

This magic treasure can still barely be used.

If fully stimulated, at least it can have the effect of a top-grade magic tool.

Then it was the Soul Gathering Banner, just upon getting it, Luo Chen let go.

As for that copper mirror, he couldn't see through it for a while.

But since the other party dared to mark the price of a normal low-grade magic treasure, it must have its preciousness.

While Luo Chen was thinking, the surroundings were silent.

The scarred stall owner looked at Luo Chen's reaction carefully.

When the array disk moved earlier, he still felt it was a pity.

But as the following two magic treasures had no reaction in this Foundation Establishment senior's hands, he was a bit uneasy.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask: "Senior, have you taken a fancy to any one of them?"

Luo Chen glanced at him and put all three magic treasures into the storage bag.

"I want them all!"

While speaking, he prepared to take out spirit stones from the storage bag.

"Sixty-five thousand, right?"

Hearing this number.

The many Qi Refining loose cultivators around were directly shocked.

The scarred face was also stunned.

He didn't expect Luo Chen to buy them all.

Clearly before, he just wanted to take them out to try his luck.

Feeling the greedy gazes around, the scarred face shuddered.

Too much is as bad as too little!

"Senior, sixty thousand is fine, sixty thousand is fine!"

Luo Chen glanced at him with a smile, he was a person who knew when to advance and retreat, and understood the measure.

It is estimated that he also saw that he was wealthy and not easy to provoke, so he wanted to sell this favor!

Being able to be five thousand cheaper, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

Taking out enough spirit stones from the storage bag, Luo Chen floated away.

After he left and was completely out of sight.

The cultivators around the stall erupted into a roar of noise.

"Are Foundation Establishment True Persons all this rich?"

"Just splashing water! He took out sixty thousand pieces in one go, without even blinking!"

"That's not it, as far as I know, ordinary Foundation Establishment True Persons are also very poor, just a little richer than us. To say that he took out sixty thousand without even gasping, he must be a direct descendant of a sect, a Foundation Establishment true disciple!"

"That senior clearly hid his aura, maybe he is a true disciple of a Core Formation major sect!"

"Envy!"

"But stall owner, you... eh, where is he?"

Without the crowd noticing, the scarred face cultivator had already swept up the magic tools on the stall and disappeared.

Getting such a huge sum of money is easy to attract attention, it's better to leave early.

On the central square.

Luo Chen, who bought three incomplete magic treasures in one breath, was still strolling around.

In this super-large free trading assembly, there were too many treasures appearing.

Even if the quality is uncertain, the quality is uneven, but if you look carefully, there are always some that can be used.

There is more than one Foundation Establishment cultivator who has this idea.

Along the way, he met several.

After strolling for half a day, Luo Chen found several more incomplete magic treasures.

But this time, he didn't make a move to buy.

The reason is very simple, the one setting up the stall is a Foundation Establishment True Person!

The incomplete magic treasures that such existences take out to sell must have very low value, at least for Foundation Establishment True Persons, they have no great use.

Luo Chen also tried two, and found that the effect was only equivalent to a full blow of a top-grade magic tool.

In terms of effect.

It was about the same as the magic treasure fragment broken knife of the wandering loose cultivator Duan Dao Xu Renke in Dahefang back then.

Xu Renke is a famous wandering loose cultivator in Dahefang, who has wandered in many markets.

I think his broken knife was also obtained in this way!

And the three incomplete magic treasures Luo Chen obtained are different.

They were taken out by Qi Refining cultivators to sell, whether they are useful or not, it purely depends on his personal vision.

Maybe he can pick up a big leak.

Not to mention anything else, that compass is worth more than ten thousand.

Just a simple test earlier, the array that scattered to hide the body was quite mysterious.

For the other two magic treasures, Luo Chen had a little grasp of that Soul Gathering Banner.

As for the remaining copper mirror, he had no grasp.

But being able to sell so expensively, it must be the most valuable thing in the scarred cultivator's heart.

This is purely gambling!

"Rich, willful!"

After strolling for a day, Luo Chen didn't intend to stroll anymore.

He discovered it.

In this super-large free trading assembly, not to mention anything else, magic tools and incomplete magic treasures are really common, too many to be outrageous.

The reason for this situation, needless to say.

It must be related to the struggle between the two Nascent Soul major sects.

"It is said that the Sword Sect and the Luoyun Sect also sent true disciples from within the sect to Tianlan Xiancheng."

"They won't fight, will they?"

Luo Chen chuckled, if they really fight, he plans to go and join the fun.

Returned to the cave dwelling.

Luo Chen took out today's harvest.

He plans to have someone send the Heavy Profound Nether Water to Duan Feng tomorrow.

Now, he plans to study the three incomplete magic treasures carefully.

"This compass is quite peculiar, it doesn't need special refining, as long as you understand the restriction array, you can stimulate it."

"With my array strength, it is very difficult to stimulate its power completely."

"Perhaps I can hand it over to Min Longyu to study, and after obtaining the specific method, I will use it."

Putting down the compass, Luo Chen's attention fell on that banner.

Soul Gathering Banner?

This name is quite similar to the Soul Refining Banner.

But one is gathering, one is refining, the purpose must be different.

He tried to stimulate it, but got nothing.

"It seems that this magic treasure needs a lot of effort to be completely refined before it can be used."

"But what I lack is time!"

"However, this thing can be handed over to Xiao Ling to try."

With a thought, a ghost mill fell into the cave dwelling.

A beautiful shadow flew out from it in a daze.

"Master, is there anything?"

"Here, give it to you."

"What is this?" Bai Meiling asked suspiciously, taking the banner, the moment she got it, her whole person was pulled and sank to the ground. "So heavy!"

Seeing this.

Luo Chen couldn't help but smile.

"This is the Soul Gathering Banner, study it carefully, maybe it will be beneficial to your cultivation of the soul path."

While speaking, he picked up the Soul Gathering Banner and inserted it into a corner of the cave dwelling.

The beautiful shadow pressed to the ground finally struggled to climb up.

Surrounding that banner, her eyes were full of curiosity.

Luo Chen no longer paid attention to her, but focused his mind on the copper mirror on the table.

Ancient and yellowed.

On the edge of the copper mirror, flowers, birds, insects, and fish were faintly carved.

Only one corner of the mirror surface was missing, as if it had shattered in battle.

"This thing always gives me a sense of familiarity!"

Gambling? Luo Chen is impossible to gamble!

He is aiming to pick up leaks.

Even if he can't pick up leaks, the things he buys must be worth the price.

The reason why he spent the price of a normal low-grade magic treasure to buy this copper mirror was the familiar feeling when he got it.

"Where did it come from?"

Luo Chen frowned, thinking carefully.

While thinking, he struck spiritual power from time to time, but the copper mirror had no reaction.

Exploring with spiritual sense also didn't work.

Suddenly, Luo Chen's heart moved.

A black chess piece appeared between his fingers.

Spiritual power was injected into it, and strands of black ghostly light slowly emerged.

As if sensing it, a yellow ghostly light on the copper mirror also suddenly lit up.

The moment the two lights touched, they merged like water and milk.

Luo Chen looked at this scene in surprise.

"Lanke Chess!"

"Could it be that this copper mirror is also from the Ghost God Valley?"

Just as he was surprised, the two merged lights suddenly transformed into seven colors, instantly covering his whole body.

This strange and mysterious scene directly scared the Bai Meiling flying around.

She floated in the air, her small face hesitant.

Afterward, she approached Luo Chen step by step.

"Master?"

No response!

She shook her hand, Luo Chen's eyes were tightly closed, still no response.

Suddenly, her head turned 180 degrees, twisted a circle, and a pair of ghostly eyes stared at the incomplete copper mirror emitting seven-colored light.

In the mirror surface, a familiar figure was slowly opening his eyes. ===== CHAPTER 250 =====

Within the mirror's surface, a familiar figure was slowly opening their eyes.
