Chapter 337

The first time he went up to the Heavenly Palace.

Mixed in with many alchemists, no one cared about him, a nobody.

The second time he went up to the Heavenly Palace.

He was Dan Chenzi, who had suppressed the Seven Sons of Green Elixir and won three consecutive titles!

Just as he arrived, curious and admiring gazes fell upon him.

Those were all Foundation Establishment disciples from other sects.

Luo Chen didn't care much about those gazes.

What he cared about were only the attitudes of the Core Formation True Persons.

And what he wanted to see appeared immediately.

"Dan Chenzi, please take a seat!"

Although they didn't call him fellow Daoist, they didn't call him by his name directly either.

A Daoist title itself was a respectful address for a cultivator!

Seeing the gentle middle-aged man, Luo Chen bowed and said: "Thank you, Sect Master Qingyun!"

After speaking, he sat down on the chair at the end under the gaze of all the Core Formation True Persons.

Seeing him like this, Qingyunzi nodded in appreciation.

"Neither humble nor arrogant, calm in the face of honor or disgrace; he is indeed a good talent."

He was saying polite words here, but Master Red Cauldron didn't have such a good temper.

"Dan Chenzi, how have you considered my previous proposal?"

The so-called proposal was nothing more than joining the Great Elixir Academy to become a guest Elder.

Being interrupted, Qingyunzi smiled slightly, but he wasn't angry.

Although his Senior Brother cherished the other party's alchemy talent.

But from his perspective, it was indeed a good thing.

Luo Chen suppressing the Seven Sons of Green Elixir in alchemy skills did indeed make the sect's reputation sound a bit bad.

But if he could become a part of the Green Elixir Valley.

Then it wouldn't matter.

Therefore, he also looked at Luo Chen with a smile, looking forward to his response.

At this moment, Luo Chen's heart rose.

Even though he had already made a decision, refusing the Green Elixir Valley in front of so many Core Formation True Persons would have unpredictable consequences.

However!

Soon, he didn't need to make the decision himself.

"A young talent like Dan Chenzi is just right for my Ailao Mountain!" Master Ailao said so.

Master Shi of the Hundred Flower Palace smiled slightly, "Qingyunzi, your Green Elixir Valley has plenty of excellent alchemists; you don't lack this one Dan Chenzi. Why not let him come to my Hundred Flower Palace?"

After speaking, she didn't look at Qingyunzi's stiff expression, but looked at Luo Chen.

"Dan Chenzi, my Hundred Flower Palace has many female cultivators. If you come, I will arrange two excellent Dao companions for you."

"You can study alchemy and enjoy ultimate pleasure; wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Her recruitment was too naked.

The conditions were so fragrant and colorful.

Master Ailao was anxious, "If you come to my Ailao Mountain, I can personally take action to tailor an excellent elixir room for you. Even after you form your core, I will buy you magic treasure-level alchemy equipment, how about that?"

Master Shi raised her eyebrows.

Ailao Mountain is indeed wealthy and imposing!

They even promised magic treasure-grade alchemy equipment.

Those were not inferior ordinary magic treasures, but good things that needed to be personally crafted by specialized casting masters!

Facing the scramble between the two.

Master Red Cauldron blew his beard and stared, "You are too much; Luo Chen still has the status of a Tao family guest in my Green Elixir Valley; he is already a part of my Green Elixir Valley!"

"That's just a temporary guest status," Master Shi sneered.

Master Ailao was also disdainful, "If you come to my Ailao Mountain, Dan Chenzi will be an Elder!"

Master Red Cauldron hurriedly said: "If you join my Great Elixir Academy, you will also have the status of a guest Elder."

After speaking, he looked at Luo Chen seriously.

"Dan Chenzi, you must consider it carefully!"

"My Great Elixir Academy has countless alchemy resources and can give you the greatest assistance."

"As for cultivation, you don't need to worry either; I can apply to the sect to allow you to cultivate in a Tier 3 cave dwelling for one year every ten years!"

Such generous conditions were stated.

Master Shi of the Hundred Flower Palace and Master Ailao were both stunned.

Although there are Tier 3 spiritual lands, there are very few cave dwellings suitable for cultivation.

Although the Green Elixir Valley sits on a large Tier 3 spiritual land, they have too many Core Formation cultivators!

They could actually share one with Luo Chen?

Even if it was only once every ten years, for one year!

For a time, even they were a bit hesitant.

Master Red Cauldron was smug; he didn't believe Luo Chen could resist such conditions.

Not to mention.

Luo Chen was indeed a bit moved.

However, he still didn't give an answer, and his gaze fell on a female cultivator.

Everyone followed his gaze and looked over.

It was the Ice Fortress True Person, Fairy Jueqing.

Seeing this scene, several Core Formation True Persons frowned, feeling a bit displeased.

This Dan Chenzi seemed to be pushing his luck a bit, waiting for a better price!

The three major sects had all given preferential conditions, but he was still not satisfied and actually wanted the Ice Fortress to give conditions.

However, they guessed wrong!

"You all stop fighting."

Fairy Jueqing said indifferently.

Amidst their confusion, she spat out a few words.

"Dan Chenzi is already a person of my Ice Fortress."

Once these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Master Bai Su of Mount Luojia covered her mouth and smiled.

"Sister Jueqing, your recruitment is too domineering! Everyone else is offering conditions, but you directly say Dan Chenzi is a person of your Ice Fortress."

"That's not how you snatch people!"

Facing the questioning.

Fairy Jueqing's expression remained indifferent.

"This is a fact; if you don't believe it... Dan Chenzi, just take out your 'Shanghu Elixir Interpretation' for everyone to see."

Luo Chen remained silent and took out a classic from his storage bag.

Written on it were the four ancient characters: "Shanghu Elixir Interpretation".

Seeing this elixir interpretation, everyone was silent.

Those below didn't know, but as fellow Core Formation True Persons, who didn't know what the two words "Shanghu" meant.

This name was exactly the Dao companion of Fairy Jueqing back then.

The other party was not only a Core Formation cultivator but also an excellent Tier 3 alchemist.

Although he was personally killed by Fairy Jueqing for some reason.

But the elixir interpretation left behind by the other party, being personally bestowed upon Dan Chenzi by Fairy Jueqing, showed that the other party was indeed a junior valued by Fairy Jueqing.

Master Red Cauldron suddenly realized.

Looking at Luo Chen, he couldn't help but show appreciation.

"No wonder he has such alchemy attainments at such a young age."

"I didn't expect him to have inherited the mantle of Fellow Daoist Shanghu!"

"I still remember the scene of Fellow Daoist Shanghu coming to my Great Elixir Academy to discuss alchemy back then."

Qingyunzi, who had a serious face, also showed a look of relief.

They also knew Shanghu's alchemy skills.

Just in terms of alchemy skills, he was not weaker than the Tier 3 alchemists of the Green Elixir Valley, so it was not so strange that his inherited disciple could defeat the Seven Sons of Green Elixir.

Luo Chen frowned, then relaxed.

Obviously, this was the Green Elixir Valley finding a way to make up for its sect's reputation after failing to recruit him.

If it spread out later, it wouldn't be the Green Elixir Valley's new generation alchemist losing to a rogue cultivator.

But losing to a cultivator from the same Seven Sects.

On the surface, it wouldn't look so ugly.

Although he was not the so-called inherited disciple of Shanghu, he thought Fairy Jueqing wouldn't deny it either.

Sure enough!

Fairy Jueqing acquiesced to this statement.

But in this way, what conditions would you use to stabilize me?

Others had all given sky-high prices that any Foundation Establishment True Person could not refuse!

Luo Chen looked at Fairy Jueqing silently.

In the past, in front of her, he could only bow his head and listen to her jade voice; how could he look at her squarely like today.

Those eyes like paintings, those eyes like ice, that skin like frost and snow.

Fairy Jueqing felt his gaze.

She looked at Luo Chen coldly and parted her jade lips.

"You came out this time because Tao Wan that girl and Tantai Jin have a close relationship, so she recommended you, right?"

"I felt the aura of the Profound Ice Talisman I made on you."

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows.

He had put that thing in his storage bag.

She could feel that?

"Take it out! That Profound Ice Talisman was made by me for Tantai Jin; it doesn't suit you."

After Luo Chen took out the Profound Ice Talisman that Tantai Jin had given him.

Fairy Jueqing summoned it directly, and then under everyone's gaze, gave him a new one.

This scene completely confirmed that Luo Chen indeed had a great relationship with the Ice Fortress.

Otherwise, Fairy Jueqing's most famous Profound Ice Talisman would not have appeared on Luo Chen.

Everyone felt regret.

Such an excellent alchemy master had actually been recruited by Fairy Jueqing long ago.

Didn't they say that since her Dao companion died, she wouldn't give any man a good look?

Holding the bone-chilling Profound Ice Talisman and listening to Fairy Jueqing's sound transmission telling him to drip blood to recognize the master, Luo Chen felt a sense of relief.

He thought this must be one of the conditions the other party gave him in advance!

It was generous!

The Profound Ice Talisman stored the power of a Core Formation True Person's strike.

At a critical moment, it could even shatter this talisman to evolve into protective divine ice, safely waiting for Fairy Jueqing's rescue.

For a Foundation Establishment cultivator, its value far exceeded that of so-called magic treasures.

He didn't know what other good things the other party would give him when he went back later.

But at least, it proved one thing.

This time making a name for himself in the Green Elixir Valley was absolutely the wisest thing Luo Chen had ever done!

Unknown people were often in precarious situations.

Only by showing enough value would people value you!

Moreover, unlike becoming a guest Elder of the Great Elixir Academy.

His relationship with the Jueqing lineage was more special.

He could have more freedom and autonomy!

"Next, just wait for the result of the True Disciple Sword Fighting."

"If Tao Wan can win, then I won't have made this trip in vain!"

The third round of the Dao Seed competition, which was also the most important round—True Disciple Sword Fighting, began!

Unlike the first two rounds where the great direct disciples tried not to take action.

In this round, no one could rely on others.

They had to personally step onto the stage, show their strength with real swords and guns, show their style, and fight their way into the top ranks!

Because he went up to the Heavenly Palace, received courtesy, and was given a seat, Luo Chen didn't go down again.

Instead, he sat with a group of Core Formation cultivators, watching the battle below through the Water Mirror Technique in front of him.

Unlike watching the competition in the same realm.

Sitting in the Heavenly Palace hall, Luo Chen could occasionally hear the comments of the Core Formation True Persons.

From their high vantage point, they could often point out the mistakes in the fighting methods of the Foundation Establishment True Persons.

Watching the competition like this was very beneficial to Luo Chen!

"These two are ranked low, with no hope of competing for the Dao Seed, and there is no fighting spirit between them; it's boring."

"This Du Changfeng, ranked sixth, is a bit interesting!"

"He is the child of Fellow Daoist Du from Yuanyuan Mountain, so naturally, he is not willing to settle for this ranking."

"It's a pity, although he won, he consumed too much spiritual power, so I'm afraid he won't go far in the next round."

Time flowed rapidly.

The rest time given to the winners after each battle was extremely limited.

Soon, it was the second day.

It was time for the sixth-ranked Du Changfeng to challenge the fifth-ranked Shangguan Yan.

As a Core Formation descendant from Yuanyuan Mountain, he gradually gained the upper hand under an all-out battle.

However, an accident occurred.

Du Changfeng was clearly in the upper hand, but because his spiritual power was insufficient, he got stuck for a moment while controlling his magic treasure, and then he was taken advantage of by the other party to win.

On the Sword Fighting Platform, Shangguan Yan showed a look of lingering fear.

Du Changfeng was seriously injured and was sent down with an unwilling face.

Just a little bit!

In the Heavenly Palace hall.

Master Ailao had a constipated look on his face.

"Qingyunzi, why do the disciples of your Green Elixir Valley rely so much on magic treasures that they haven't mastered well? Although the power is great, it is not a weapon of their own realm. Without magic power and spiritual sense, the power can be released but not retracted; aren't they afraid of backfiring on themselves?"

Qingyunzi was helpless.

Their Green Elixir Valley could be considered a very wealthy great sect, and their disciples could always afford a magic treasure after saving for a few years.

With magic treasures of greater power, who would be stupid enough to use ordinary magic tools?

Not to mention the Green Elixir Valley.

Nowadays in the Jade Cauldron Domain, the Foundation Establishment disciples of other sects are probably like this too!

The trend is like this, and even if you try to persuade them, they won't listen.

The root cause is not in the Green Elixir Valley, nor in the Jade Cauldron Seven Sects.

But in that great casting sect, Sky Sail City!

The other party dumped magic tools and magic treasures into the Jade Cauldron Domain, which caused the current situation.

Over hundreds of years, who knows how many magic tools and magic treasures there are in the Jade Cauldron Domain now!

Luo Chen sat quietly to one side.

Listening to their conversation, he was thoughtful in his heart.

Sure enough!

His previous choice of fighting methods was correct.

Magic treasures are good, but they cannot be relied upon too much.

Because this kind of weapon simply doesn't belong to the level of Foundation Establishment True Persons.

In comparison.

Using top-grade magic tools as the mainstay and skillfully matching them with other small means can maximize the combat power of their level.

And the power of magic treasures can be used as a trump card.

To make that critical strike and determine the victory!

Looking at the battle below again.

Although Luo Chen's realm was much lower than those great direct disciples, he also felt quite bored, just like these Core Formation True Persons.

Is this True Disciple Sword Fighting?

It's clearly just showing off the power of their respective magic treasures.

It's not about ingenuity, and it's not about fighting wisdom.

It's just comparing who has a higher degree of mastery over magic treasures, as Chu Kui said.

Boring, truly boring!

"Ha..."

Someone yawned.

Master Shi stretched on her seat, revealing her slender waist and large fruits.

She drooped her eyelids and said lazily: "I finally know why your Green Elixir Valley, Ailao Mountain, and Luoyun Sect joined forces and still couldn't defeat the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect."

"Relying so much on things that don't belong to your own realm, the fighting will inevitably be extremely rigid."

"In comparison, the Sword Sect disciples specialize in one sword, retracting and releasing as they please, and the power is controllable. In a battle of the same realm, your Green Elixir Valley direct disciples would have been stabbed with hundreds of holes by the Sword Sect direct disciples by the time they activated their magic treasure killing move once."

This remark made the several Core Formation cultivators of the Green Elixir Valley lose face.

But they couldn't refute it at all.

A few years ago, when the conflict between the two major sects intensified, their disciples had participated in the war.

At that time, the casualties were indeed particularly heavy!

Qingyunzi, as the Sect Master, tried to save face.

He squeezed out a smile and said reluctantly: "These new generation disciples are indeed a bit inflexible. However, the next step is the battle for the top three; as the heads of this generation of direct disciples, they should be able to bring out something new."

"Fellow Daoists, watch with peace of mind!"

Master Shi curled her lips, not very optimistic about the battle below.

Master Ailao sighed, as if thinking of the many junior disciples their sect had lost in recent years.

It was Fairy Jueqing who occasionally glanced at Luo Chen.

As a Core Formation cultivator guarding Tianlan Immortal City, she had heard of Luo Chen's other Daoist title.

And the origin of that Daoist title!

Fighting several people of the same realm alone, and without relying on the power of magic treasures.

This person's fighting ability was likely extremely outstanding among the younger generation.

Luo Chen didn't notice Fairy Jueqing's attention.

His spiritual eyes were fixed on the screen of the water mirror.

Now the battle had reached the fourth-ranked Fu Li fighting the third-ranked He Yuanqing.

As Tao Wan's ally, facing this He Yuanqing who might become her opponent, what choice would Fu Li make?
