Chapter 327

The layout of the Green Elixir Market was similar to other large markets Luo Chen had seen.

He did not linger in the shops opened by those families.

Luo Chen took the token Tao Tao Yisheng gave him and went directly into an antique high-rise building.

Gaoyang Tower!

Here, it was a relatively high-end trading venue in the market.

Participants were at least starting from the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

When Luo Chen arrived, there were already many Foundation Establishment cultivators inside, exchanging or trading.

During this period, Luo Chen had been staying behind closed doors, so he didn't know many people.

He naturally couldn't get involved in the exchanges between cultivators.

Therefore, he shifted his attention directly to trading.

"Actually this simple?"

There was no complex auction process; the trading in Gaoyang Tower depended purely on individual needs.

Some were shouting on the stage, some were leaving information on the jade walls in the building, specifying requirements for certain items.

There were also direct barter trades during exchanges between cultivators.

Luo Chen watched for a while, lost in thought.

Perhaps because the true disciple sword duel was imminent, this wave of Gaoyang Tower gatherings involved more items related to weapons and talismans.

In a short time, he saw several good top-grade magic tools being traded away.

Even, from time to time, magic treasures were taken out for sale.

It was just that magic treasures, which were quite popular among Foundation Establishment cultivators in the past, faced a rare cold reception this time.

Luo Chen was initially very surprised.

Later, seeing that others were not very interested, he understood the reason for the cold reception.

"Cultivators who can participate in the true disciple sword duel are mostly late-stage Foundation Establishment great cultivators; with their years of accumulation, getting one or two magic treasures is not a difficult task at all."

"Just as Tao Wan said, magic tools and magic treasures in the Jade Cauldron Domain are extremely flooded. Even in a small place like the Dahe Market back then, there were magic treasure trades, which shows the extent of the flooding."

"Moreover, ordinary magic treasures are usually not ready to use as soon as they are in hand; they often require long-term refining to exert their effects."

"Now that they are being taken out for sale in a hurry, except for some early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators who like to join in the fun, others are really not very interested."

Looking at those magic treasures that no one asked about.

Luo Chen was vaguely tempted, but after slightly understanding their attributes and functions, he gave up.

They were not suitable for him.

The Luo Heaven Society now also had several magic treasures.

Even Duan Feng had already forged one last year from the two magic treasure embryos left behind by the Duan family.

Buying these back would be of no great use.

If there were water-attribute magic treasures, or defensive ones, he might have bought them without hesitation.

President Sima Hui Niang, as the president of the Luo Heaven Society, was still missing a handy magic treasure.

"Perhaps, I can take that nine-ring tin staff left behind by Wei Tuo and trade it with someone for a water-attribute magic treasure?"

Just as Luo Chen was thinking this.

An early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly shouted loudly.

"A family-inherited Rebirth Pill, is there anyone who wants it?"

As soon as the three words "Rebirth Pill" came out.

Many people looked over involuntarily.

Seeing the person's face, someone laughed: "Liao Liang, are you selling your family property again?"

"That's right, last time you sold the magic treasures left by your ancestors, this time you even took out this third-tier healing spiritual elixir that can bring the dead back to life to sell. You are truly selling your grandfather's fields, not feeling heartache at all!"

Over these years, he had read all the alchemy classics from Dan Qing Yuanzi, the Geng family, and the Li family, and had thoroughly absorbed their essence.

But turning his head, he ignored the few people who were mocking him, and instead shouted loudly on his own.

"Is there anyone who wants it? Third-tier Rebirth Pill, as long as there is one breath left, it can bring the dead back to life and escape the dead zone. If one is seriously injured and the dantian and Qi sea are damaged, one can also use this elixir to recover, reshape the dantian and Qi sea, and repair the meridians of the whole body!"

"I only want spirit stones, whoever offers the highest price, I will sell it to whoever!"

In the crowd, the laughter continued.

There was no lack of people introducing Liao Liang's situation to friends who didn't know the truth.

Nothing more than words about his family's decline, poor aptitude, needing a large amount of resources to assist in cultivation, and therefore often selling family property to exchange for spirit stones to buy resources for cultivation.

Amidst this laughter, Luo Chen's eyes were fixed on that elixir.

Just as Liao Liang said.

The Rebirth Pill had incomparably heaven-defying medicinal effects.

Among third-tier elixirs, it was famous.

It was also one of the few spiritual elixirs in the cultivation world that could repair the dantian and Qi sea.

Luo Chen's focus was not here.

But on that sentence "bring the dead back to life, escape the dead zone"!

A second-tier magic art he cultivated, "Turtle Spirit Covering Armor," had the magical effect of avoiding death and extending life when it reached Great Perfection.

But that life-extending technique had a huge flaw.

Once cast, within three days, if one could not find a way to bring the dead back to life, one would still have to die.

If he had this elixir in hand.

Then Luo Chen would have one more trump card in a desperate situation!

"It's just that, wanting to buy it, I'm afraid it will cost a huge amount!"

Luo Chen muttered and looked around.

Although those people were mocking Liao Liang, they didn't hold back at all when it was time to bid!

The price was quickly called to over fifteen thousand spirit stones.

Such a price truly frightened many Foundation Establishment True Persons.

The price of third-tier elixirs is very expensive, but usually in the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, it is only five or six thousand spirit stones per bottle.

If it is spread out to each pill, it is only a few hundred.

A mere third-tier Rebirth Pill actually had someone bid fifteen thousand.

This truly exceeded many people's imagination!

However, considering the magical effect of this elixir, many Foundation Establishment True Persons still flocked to it!

Who wouldn't want to have such an elixir when their life was hanging by a thread?

The price was still soaring!

Soon, it reached over twenty thousand!

A cultivator didn't know if he was short of money, or if he wanted to deliberately ruin Liao Liang's good deed.

After being surpassed in a bid, he scolded: "Fine, you guys go fight for it. His Liao family's things were all obtained by his ancestors in a ruin from a thousand years ago, the magic treasures are rotten and unusable, and the medicinal power of the elixirs is also almost gone. I don't believe that this Rebirth Pill still has any medicinal power left."

After saying this, amidst Liao Liang's angry and spraying gaze, he spread his hands and retreated behind the crowd.

"Sha Yan, you!"

Before he could scold, he was interrupted by the words of other bidding cultivators.

"Really?"

"This Rebirth Pill of yours, it wouldn't really be an elixir from a thousand years ago, would it?"

"How much medicinal power is left, don't use inferior elixirs to deceive people?"

"Liao Liang, you are a true disciple of the Green Elixir Valley, doing this kind of thing is smearing the sect's reputation!"

Facing one question after another, one doubt after another.

Liao Liang's face turned red, and he forced himself to say: "Don't believe that person's nonsense, although this elixir has been passed down for a thousand years, the medicinal power has definitely been preserved by at least five parts. Although it might not have an effect on Golden Core True Persons, for us Foundation Establishment True Persons, it can definitely have an effect!"

"You won't suffer a loss, you won't be deceived, I will never do anything that disgraces the reputation of the Green Elixir Valley."

"If you don't believe me, you can go ask the Sect Master True Person, he once personally tested the medicinal power of the Rebirth Pill!"

After these words were said.

The doubts of the crowd dissipated quite a bit.

However, the intensity of the bidding was getting lower and lower.

It was very clear that everyone still doubted the effect of the Rebirth Pill.

But this kind of elixir was not easy to test directly.

Watching the slower and slower bidding, Liao Liang was desperate in his heart, and he wanted to kill his rival Sha Yan who ruined his good deed!

Just as the price stuck at twenty-eight thousand, gradually no one bid anymore.

This price truly made Liao Liang dissatisfied.

He looked at the others in Gaoyang Tower.

"Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"

"Believe me, the effect of this elixir is really still there. Even the True Person of our sect's Tai Dan Institute once bought a few from me back then, and even reverse-engineered the approximate formula."

"You don't believe me, but you don't believe the third-tier alchemist of the Green Elixir Valley?"

However.

The more he said now, the less others believed him.

The shouting words actually had a discouraging effect.

Even the Foundation Establishment True Person who bid twenty-eight thousand was vaguely regretful.

Spending so many spirit stones to buy an elixir that was estimated to have little medicinal power, was it too much of a loss?

Even, he felt that the gazes of others behind him were like looking at a fool.

It was also at this moment.

A bid came from the crowd.

"Thirty thousand."

The plain and simple voice was like a life-saving straw.

Liao Liang's eyes lit up instantly.

This price had already reached his minimum standard.

But on the surface, he still showed dissatisfaction, and he was indeed not very satisfied.

After pestering a few more times, seeing no one bid, he reluctantly handed the elixir to the young man in the red fire cloud Daoist robe.

"Fellow Daoist, this time, you have truly picked up a huge leak!"

Luo Chen smiled, but didn't say anything.

Whether it was picking up a leak or suffering a loss, everyone had their own scale in their hearts.

These days, he had already discovered.

Sect true disciples, although they don't worry about resources, actually don't have much liquid money in their hands.

A few tens of thousands of spirit stones, for them, are still a huge sum, which can be taken out, but it will be very painful.

Relatively speaking, these spirit stones are just a drop in the bucket for Luo Chen.

Spending a little money to buy a possible life-saving means.

No matter how you look at it, it's not a loss.

After taking the elixir, he checked it slightly.

The elixir fragrance still lingered, but the specific effect was not easy to check.

At least, it proved that there was residual medicinal power.

After going back, he would test it properly!

Luo Chen put away the elixir, not caring about the gazes of others, and squeezed to a jade wall.

On it, densely packed, were many trading messages.

Most were left by Foundation Establishment cultivators who were not convenient to come here for a long time.

This move was actually derived from the task distribution method within the sect.

Luo Chen watched for a while and found many good things.

They were things rarely seen in places like Dahe Market or Mount Tianlan Xiancheng.

For example, second-tier Pulse-Protecting Pills that could assist in Foundation Establishment, Flowing Fiend Pills that could wash away the fiend energy of the body, and so on.

Most were sold by the pill!

Major sects say that good things don't flow out, but actually, they just don't flow out on a large scale.

For sect disciples, some small actions are also turned a blind eye to.

These things were of no great use to Luo Chen.

But he could buy them back for the Qi Refining cultivators of the Luo Heaven Society to use.

"In these years, the Foundation Establishment of Luo Heaven Society cultivators has failed frequently; if there are these things to help, perhaps a few more Foundation Establishment cultivators can be produced."

"Calculating, Gu Caiyi is also going to Foundation Establishment, preparing a portion of Foundation Establishment spiritual medicine for her is always beneficial."

Luo Chen was not stingy and told the Gaoyang Tower cultivator guarding the side about his intention to purchase.

It was just some trivial spirit stones anyway.

However, his luxurious posture of frequent purchasing made the Green Elixir Valley cultivators in Gaoyang Tower look sideways.

They were both amazed by his financial resources and mocked him for not having seen the world, wanting to buy everything he saw.

Luo Chen didn't care about these gazes.

Not only did he set the many resources he wanted to buy, but he also hung the earth-attribute nine-ring tin staff left by Wei Tuo on the jade wall.

Specifying that he wanted to trade for a water-attribute magic treasure.

If there was a price difference, it could be discussed face-to-face.

After this series of actions was completed, a long time had passed.

Luo Chen looked at the sky and didn't intend to stay long, so he prepared to leave Gaoyang Tower.

"Whoa, it really is you!"

A familiar voice came to his ears.

Luo Chen, who was about to go downstairs, turned his head and saw an old acquaintance.

"Why are you here too?"

Chu Kui smiled, "You can come, why can't I come?"

With just two simple sentences, Luo Chen vaguely understood the reason for the other party's appearance here.

His gaze subconsciously fell on the high-spirited man beside Chu Kui.

The other party was also sizing him up.

"Brother Chu, are you not going to introduce me?"

Chu Kui looked at Luo Chen, and seeing that the other party didn't object, he enthusiastically introduced both sides:

"This is He He Yuanqing, a true disciple of the Lan Yuxuan He family!"

"This is Luo Chen, the Fire Spirit Lord of the Mount Danxia Luo Heaven Society!"

He He Yuanqing had never heard of the Mount Danxia Luo Heaven Society, estimating it to be a small force in Mount Tianlan Xiancheng.

However, the other party having a Dao title meant that he definitely had some substance.

He He Yuanqing couldn't see through Luo Chen's true cultivation base, but he also nodded at him in a friendly manner.

"Fire Spirit Lord, hello, if you have time, you can come to Lan Yuxuan Mountain to sit for a while."

Luo Chen also returned the salute, "True Disciple He is too polite."

Seeing that the two knew each other, Chu Kui said to He He Yuanqing: "You go get busy first, I'll go out for a stroll with him. Things here are sold too expensively, I, old Chu, can't afford to buy them."

He He Yuanqing shook his head with a smile and didn't try to keep him.

Watching Chu Kui and Luo Chen go downstairs.

Afterwards, he summoned someone.

"Go check for me, what is the background of this Fire Spirit Lord Luo Chen, and who invited him to come to the Green Elixir Valley."

On the long Green Elixir Market street.

Two figures walked slowly, and the moonlight stretched their shadows long.

"Are you a consultant for the He family now?"

"Temporarily, you don't know that I have seven or eight consultant identities for cultivation families hanging on me. After the true disciple sword duel here ends, I won't have this identity anymore."

"Tsk tsk, to be able to invite you, I'm afraid He He Yuanqing spent quite a few spirit stones!"

"Hehe, made a small profit, made a small profit!" Chu Kui smiled proudly and looked at Luo Chen, "What about you, who invited you here?"

Luo Chen took a token from his storage bag and shook it in front of him.

"Nanshan Tao family?"

Chu Kui was stunned, "Tao Wan, that woman, invited you here?"

Luo Chen asked curiously, "You know her?"

Chu Kui looked at Luo Chen as if he were an idiot.

This expression made Luo Chen frown subconsciously; had he ignored something?

Suddenly, he remembered when he first came to Mount Tianlan Xiancheng.

Xu Xiaoliu, who was his guide, introduced some of the customs of Mount Tianlan Xiancheng, among which he specifically mentioned the ranking of the Heaven's Pride List on the Dao Discussion Platform.

It was also at that time that he first heard the name of Chu Kui, the number one Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator in Mount Tianlan.

Think carefully.

When Xu Xiaoliu introduced the top-ranked people on the Heaven's Pride List, he mentioned Tao Wan's name.

Ranked third, second only to Lin Lin Qingxuan of the Sword Sect who had fought through the ten major immortal cities, and the Ice Soul Fairy, the Dao Seed of the Ice Fortress.

It was naturally impossible for Tao Wan to have fought through the ten major immortal cities.

The place where she mainly practiced her fighting methods was likely Mount Tianlan Xiancheng.

In this process, she would naturally know a figure like Chu Kui.

After thinking this through, Luo Chen was not surprised why Chu Kui looked at him with that expression.

He said helplessly, "Since you know her, what is your evaluation of her combat power, and is there any chance for her to seize the Dao Seed position of the Green Elixir Valley this time?"

Evaluate combat power?

Chu Kui was interested in this!

He put his hands behind his back, assumed the demeanor of a sect master, and began to point out the country.
