Chapter 318

Long Life Starts from Alchemy Grandmaster Main Text Chapter 323 Seizing the initiative, prepared, and even more confident! A few days later.

Inside Luo Chen's cave dwelling, Tao Tao Yisheng visited in person!

This time, it wasn't just as simple as sending a sound-transmitting talisman, but waiting honestly for a long time.

Finally, he saw Luo Chen.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, fellow Daoist."

A thick elixir aura lingered, his eyes were clear and spirited.

The red cloud Daoist robe was lifted, and Luo Chen sat down opposite Tao Tao Yisheng with a broad stance.

The other party couldn't help but ask: "What have you been busy with recently? It's so hard for your younger brother to see you."

Luo Chen smiled slightly and said casually: "I've had some breakthroughs in alchemy, and I'm trying to break through to higher grades in first and second-tier elixirs."

He didn't explicitly say what kind of elixir it was.

But that thick elixir aura was so obvious.

At the very least, he must have refined high-grade elixirs to accumulate this aura.

Tao Tao Yisheng's eyes lit up, and he had more expectations in his heart.

He couldn't wait to say: "Fellow Daoist, didn't you want to know about the high-grade elixirs of my Green Elixir Valley before?"

Willing to talk now?

Luo Chen's mouth curled up, and he asked cooperatively: "Do you have news?"

"It's not that I just found out, it's just that I wasn't sure before, so it wasn't easy to brag."

Tao Tao Yisheng shook his head and said seriously: "In my Green Elixir Valley, for all inner sect disciples or true disciples, the quantity of high-grade elixirs they can obtain every year is limited."

"Before, even if fellow Daoist wanted to buy, we couldn't provide them."

"But now, there is an opportunity!"

Luo Chen's spirit was lifted, "I'd like to hear the details!"

"Have you heard of the Golden Core Dao Seed battle of my Green Elixir Valley?"

"I know a little."

"To tell you the truth! In the Green Elixir Valley, besides the Golden Core superiors, only my sect's Dao Seeds can obtain a large number of high-grade elixirs!"

Listening to Tao Tao Yisheng's words, Luo Chen showed a surprised expression.

But in his heart, he was already thinking "as expected".

The intelligence collection of the Luo Tian Society over the years had not been in vain.

Through that intelligence, he had long analyzed the situation facing the Tao siblings.

Only by seizing the Dao Seed position.

Would the massive resources of the entire sect tilt toward her.

The simplest is the tilt of cultivation resources.

Only with enough cultivation resources can the Green Elixir Dao Seed cultivate rapidly while also cultivating enough powerful subordinates.

In this way.

Once the Dao Seed advances to the Golden Core realm, he can possess a large group of powerful subordinates who can be commanded like an arm.

The realm will not fall behind.

Human connections will not be scarce.

It is also quite beneficial for managing the sect.

In fact, this model is common in large sects.

Rather than letting disciples grow freely, it is better to select one or two geniuses and focus on cultivating them.

Only in this way can the sect's inheritance be ensured, and it will not be interrupted because of a generation gap.

Especially the Green Elixir Valley!

They have taken this aspect to the extreme.

Selecting one Dao Seed every hundred years.

This means that every hundred years, the Green Elixir Valley has a high probability of stably giving birth to a Golden Core superior.

In this way, the sect's inheritance can be guaranteed!

Other sects also do this, but they are not as wealthy as the Green Elixir Valley, so sometimes the cultivation of Dao Seeds lacks flavor.

Therefore, after several hundred years, the situation where the Green Elixir Valley has far more Golden Core cultivators than other sects has appeared.

Tao Tao Yisheng took a deep breath, "Currently, my sister Tao Wan is fighting for the Dao Seed position, and once successful, she can obtain the sect's vigorous cultivation. High-grade elixirs are also among them."

"By then, what fellow Daoist needs will be but a drop in the bucket."

Luo Chen showed a sudden realization.

Then he blessed: "Then I wish fellow Daoist Tao Wan success and seize the Dao Seed position!"

He said it very simply.

Tao Tao Yisheng was a bit embarrassed, "It's just that currently, it's still a bit difficult."

"Oh?"

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, "What difficulties? You might as well tell me in detail. If there is anything I can help with, please speak directly!"

This time, Tao Tao Yisheng no longer hid anything.

Instead, he told everything he knew truthfully.

For example, how exactly the "fight" for the Dao Seed battle of the Green Elixir Valley works.

It is divided into three rounds!

The first round is to sit on the position of the nine great true disciples.

Only by obtaining the status of a great true disciple can one have the opportunity to proceed to the next round of competition.

The next round is the alchemy competition.

Finally, it is to determine the final ranking of the nine great true disciples through the results of the first two rounds of competition.

Until this moment, the third round arrives.

The nine great true disciples take action one by one to seize the final and only Dao Seed quota.

In the first two rounds, the true disciples participating in the Dao Seed battle must try their best not to take action.

To avoid consuming their own foundation and exposing their own means.

They want to save their energy for the third round.

And the ranking of the nine great true disciples involves the order of taking action.

The lower the ranking, the more disadvantaged.

Need to fight up one by one.

And the time is arranged very tightly, almost giving no time for rest.

In this way, the ranking of the nine great true disciples is very important.

If you are ranked ninth, it is conceivable that it is almost impossible to obtain the Dao Seed position.

Because that means facing eight opponents of the same realm in succession!

In the first round, Tao Wan has already made preparations, gathering a group of experts under her command, both from within the sect and outside.

In the second round, she had previously prepared three second-tier alchemists.

But the most valued Huang Huang Hezi rebelled at the last minute, which put her in a very awkward situation.

It was precisely because of this that she traveled thousands of miles to invite Luo Chen in person.

After listening to this detailed introduction, Luo Chen finally understood the role he was about to play.

"The second round?"

"Exactly! With fellow Daoist's alchemy attainments, I believe that among second-tier alchemists, there is no one better!" Tao Tao Yisheng looked at Luo Chen respectfully and fanatically, "If fellow Daoist fights for my sister, you will definitely be able to win a good ranking for her."

"You really have confidence in me!" Luo Chen laughed.

"You are worth it!" Tao Tao Yisheng said firmly.

Luo Chen pursed his lips, "Since that's the case, I can help, but before that, I have to see your sister."

"My sister is in Mount Tianlan Immortal City recently, and we can meet tomorrow."

"Well, tomorrow then!"

By now, there was no need to twist and pull anymore.

The matter had been laid bare.

Next came the time to bargain.

Not everyone is Wang Yuan, who can invite Luo Chen to refine elixirs for free.

Since Tao Wan is so enthusiastic about the Dao Seed position, she must take out some real things, otherwise a master-level second-tier alchemist is not so easy to invite!

"Is it set?"

"Yeah, she will come to see us tomorrow."

Hearing her younger brother's answer, Tao Wan, who had just returned from Tantai Jin's cave dwelling, nodded.

Tao Tao Yisheng said with emotion: "After not seeing him for a few months, Luo Chen's alchemy attainments seem to have improved again."

Looking at her sister, Tao Tao Yisheng couldn't help but boast about Luo Chen again.

"Sister, Luo Chen's alchemy technique, although the path is a bit wild and doesn't seem to form a system."

"But his foundation is extremely solid, and he can use various alchemy techniques with ease."

"Such a person will definitely be able to help you win a good ranking!"

Tao Wan nodded, not responding.

She had heard such boasts many times.

She could understand her younger brother's thoughts.

It was nothing more than introducing his friends when he couldn't help.

In this way, he could be considered to have put in a lot of effort.

If it were before, she would naturally dismiss it.

But after meeting Tantai Jin, the other party kept telling her to respect Luo Chen in her words.

It seems the other party really has extraordinary points.

"I'd like to see how big your appetite is after putting on airs for so many days."

Tao Wan narrowed her eyes, and the scenes of the two previous meetings with Luo Chen flashed in her mind.

Early the next morning.

Inside the Yi-Five cave dwelling.

Dismissing those around, there was only one man and one woman inside.

Looking at the calm man, Tao Wan was a bit surprised.

Different from the pale face and cautiousness of the first meeting.

Also different from the high-spirited man in the Binglan Palace during the second meeting.

At this moment, Luo Chen, seemingly light and breezy, was filled with composure from head to toe.

That kind of composure came from confidence and strength!

Such a demeanor shouldn't appear on a rogue cultivator.

Most rogue cultivators, for the sake of resources, are often busy and tired, struggling for a lifetime, full of wind and frost.

Only sect geniuses.

Have such talent and demeanor without worrying about cultivation resources.

Seeing him standing like a mountain, like an alchemy master.

Tao Wan nodded secretly, the appearance was already good, it's just a question of the price.

Without too much hypocritical politeness, she went straight to the point.

"I want to invite fellow Daoist to take action and help me seize the Golden Core Dao Seed position."

"Regarding the rewards, I don't know what requirements you have?"

Luo Chen's eyes lit up.

He praised: "Fellow Daoist Tao is straightforward, worthy of being a descendant of Nanshan Master Yunhe Shangren, with his style."

Nanshan Master Yunhe Shangren was the Golden Core ancestor of the Tao family who passed away, and this intelligence was collected by the Luo Tian Society.

Luo Chen complimented the other party a little.

Then he opened his mouth like a lion.

"Since that's the case, I won't be pretentious either. I have three conditions, and I hope fellow Daoist can satisfy them."

Three?

Tao Wan frowned, "Tell me."

"First, I want high-grade Dragon-Rising Pills, thirty bottles a year!" Luo Chen said unceremoniously.

Tao Wan had expected this in her heart, but still said: "High-grade elixirs are rarely circulated outside large sects."

Luo Chen shook his head, "That's only rarely, in fact, you also circulate a portion outside regularly. I'm not asking for them for free, I'll buy them with spirit stones at the market price!"

The market price of high-grade Dragon-Rising Pills is not low at all.

It can be sold for two thousand spirit stones a bottle!

For thirty bottles, that would be sixty thousand spirit stones a year.

This is higher than the price of renting a high-grade cave dwelling.

Considering that Luo Chen himself rents a high-grade cave dwelling on Mount Tianlan Peak, which costs an extra forty-eight thousand spirit stones a year.

The money-making ability of the Luo Tian Society under Luo Chen is a bit terrifying!

No wonder Tantai Jin and even the Master Jueqing lineage value the Luo Tian Society so much!

Tao Wan stared at Luo Chen deeply.

"I can consider this condition, but it can only be realized after I seize the Dao Seed position."

"If I fail..."

Luo Chen understood.

If she failed, Tao Wan certainly wouldn't be able to take out so many high-grade Dragon-Rising Pills.

She herself is not a powerful alchemist.

"Second condition, I want an elixir formula, an elixir formula for second-tier cultivation elixirs!"

Facing the condition that Tantai Jin didn't mention, this time Luo Chen raised it without hesitation.

And Tao Wan's answer seemed to be within his expectations.

"Impossible!"

"My sect has long had a ban against leaking cultivation elixir formulas."

Luo Chen said without thinking: "I don't want the Green Elixir Valley's, I want the Tao family's!"

"Huh?"

"Your Tao family ancestor Nanshan Master Yunhe Shangren was a famous third-tier alchemist, he must have collected or developed many cultivation elixir formulas. The Green Elixir Valley can't control this type of elixir formula of your Tao family. I want this!"

Tao Wan was in a dilemma.

She realized that Luo Chen had come prepared.

Almost every condition seemed to be within her ability.

Indeed!

Luo Chen came prepared and was more confident.

Not only because of the intelligence collected by the Luo Tian Society, but also because Tao Tao Yisheng occasionally leaked some elixir formulas when discussing alchemy with him.

Like the Rejuvenation Water elixir formula, it was clearly a specialty of the Medicine King Sect.

But Tao Tao Yisheng knew the proportion of medicinal materials, which shows the depth of the Tao family's accumulation.

Facing this question from Luo Chen, Tao Wan found it hard to choose.

"Tell me your third condition!"

Luo Chen was slightly happy in his heart. Tao Wan's reaction showed that this condition was indeed feasible.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart.

Luo Chen stated his third condition in an orderly manner.

"Golden Core secret technique!"

"This is impossible!" Tao Wan refused flatly, then said: "Didn't Tantai give you a Golden Core secret technique? How can you be so greedy?"

Luo Chen sneered, "You should know better than me what kind of goods that secret technique is."

Tao Wan pursed her red lips, her brows locked.

Finally, she shook her head firmly.

"I cannot promise you this one. Otherwise, I won't be able to sit firmly in the Dao Seed position."

Visibly.

Luo Chen's face darkened.

"You are very insincere!"

Tao Wan opened her mouth, speechless for a moment.

Three conditions, one pending, one without a response, and one flatly rejected.

Anyone who came would think she was insincere.

However, every one of these conditions was stuck in her throat, and she really couldn't easily promise them.

The negotiation suddenly reached a stalemate.

The air in the cave dwelling seemed to become heavy in the silence of the two.

After a long while, Tao Wan smiled bitterly.

"These last two conditions of yours are indeed a bit difficult for me, especially the last one."

"Let me talk about the rewards I can give!"

Luo Chen looked at her, waiting for the following.

"The first one remains unchanged, it can be traded after I seize the Dao Seed position."

"The second one, I have to go back to the family and discuss it with the Tao family elders before responding to you."

"As for the third condition, I definitely cannot take out the Golden Core secret technique, the Green Elixir Valley has its own rules."

"Of course, since I want to invite you to take action, I can't just talk empty words."

Tao Wan looked at Luo Chen and stated her bottom line.

"Don't you have the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation secret technique from the Master Jueqing lineage? I can give you the Dragon-Transformation Pill and Ice-Phoenix Pill, saving you from running around."

Luo Chen frowned, "You should know that these two types of elixirs, if I wanted to find them, would only cost ten thousand spirit stones."

When the Mount Tianlan auction was held, the high price of one hundred thousand spirit stones for these two elixirs.

Was not because of the value of the two third-tier elixirs.

What was truly valuable was the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation secret technique.

Luo Chen himself had the corresponding secret technique in hand, and it was not difficult to gather the two elixirs.

Not to mention anything else, he himself had channels like the Ice Fortress.

Tao Wan nodded, she naturally knew this.

"To make up for it, I can give you a Golden Core insight from my Nanshan ancestor, what do you think?"

Hearing this condition, Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

Two third-tier elixirs that can cooperate with the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation secret technique, plus a Golden Core insight.

This condition is indeed quite good.

If it were released, there would be many people willing to pay hundreds of thousands for it.

Not to mention others, Chu Kui would definitely be willing to pay a high price to buy it.

And since the other party is willing to make concessions, he shouldn't push his luck.

After all, although she is asking for help, both her strength and background are far above his.

Sometimes, one has to take care of each other's face.

Luo Chen didn't push further and reluctantly agreed to this compromise plan.

Only then did Tao Wan breathe a sigh of relief.

She found that Luo Chen was truly difficult to deal with.

Once he grabbed her lifeline, he really dared to open his mouth like a lion.

I don't know how Tantai Jin usually gets along with him?

"With a year left before the Dao Seed battle starts, are you planning to go back to the Green Elixir Valley with me, or stay in Mount Tianlan?"

With the matter settled, both had smiles on their faces.

Luo Chen shook his head with a smile, "I won't go yet, there are too many people there, and the interests involved are too great, I'm afraid it's already in a whirlpool."

"Well, you're considering it correctly." Tao Wan thought for a while and said: "Staying here for now, so they can't figure out your background, is also good."

Luo Chen said unintentionally: "In one year, if I can improve my cultivation a bit, I might be able to provide more help to you. I suppose you should have some middle-grade or high-grade Dragon-Rising Pills in your hand, right?"

The smile on the woman's face froze.
