Chapter 349: I Am Dan Chenzi!
"What is he doing?"
"Refining elixirs! Since returning from Danxia, besides cultivating and healing your injuries, he has been refining elixirs."
"Alone?"
"Yes, Master's alchemy skills have become more and more powerful over the years, and he doesn't really need my help much."
"What kind of elixirs is he refining?"
"I don't know about that; anyway, the President has sent many materials recently, none of which I recognize."
The conversation unfolded between Bai Meiling and Gu Caiyi.
While they were chatting, a slight sound came from outside the cave dwelling.
Then Sima Huiniang stepped directly into the cave dwelling.
At the first glance, she saw Gu Caiyi sitting in a wheelchair covered with a thin blanket.
At this moment, sparks seemed to bloom in the air.
But Sima Huiniang didn't say much, took a look, and guarded outside.
It seemed she knew she was coming.
Before long, Luo Chen walked out from the alchemy room.
He nodded to Gu Caiyi and Xiao Ling, then went outside with Sima Huiniang.
Outside the cave dwelling, it was still within the range of the formation barrier.
Luo Chen seemingly superfluously cast a sound-insulation barrier again.
Then, he asked: "Have the messages been released?"
"According to your instructions, the news that the Luotian Society is joining the war has been released truthfully."
After finishing, Sima Huiniang said worriedly: "Currently, there is panic within the society, and even among the outer disciples, some loose cultivators who joined last year have secretly run away. If this continues, I'm afraid it will have a great impact."
"No matter!"
Luo Chen smiled slightly.
"These loose cultivators who weren't of one mind anyway are of little use. They know the pros and cons; they came for profit, and now that there is great harm, they naturally want to leave."
Sima Huiniang sighed, "The Luotian Society hasn't developed for long enough, and it doesn't have the foundation of a heritage sect, so it can't achieve the strong cohesion where everyone shares honor and disgrace from top to bottom."
"There is a long way to go, no rush." Luo Chen said.
Sima Huiniang nodded, then talked about the recent situation.
The Lianyun Commercial Alliance had dispatched in large numbers, rushing to the Leiji Mountain battlefield.
Back then, the Yuding Sword Sect didn't wrong them; the Lianyun Commercial Alliance indeed had some relationship with the Luoyun Sect.
Even the previous loose cultivator Jin Dan tribute was introduced by the Luoyun Sect.
Besides the Lianyun Commercial Alliance, many large and small forces that could be named, such as Tiejiantang, the Zheng family of Gunlongji, the Luo family of Luosha Workshop, etc., had successively sent people to the Leiji Mountain battlefield.
Foundation Establishment cultivators led the team, and Qi Refining late-stage cultivators were the main force of the team.
Forming a river of cultivators, pouring into the Leiji Nine Mountains battlefield endlessly.
"It seems that the great sect conscription is not an isolated case for my Luotian Society; everyone is suffering."
Luo Chen sighed.
After sighing, he asked with interest.
"What about Mount Tao?"
"No movement." Sima Huiniang shook her head, "It's still singing and dancing, having fun. It's just that there are fewer customers, not as lively as before."
Luo Chen smacked his lips, thoughtful.
It seems that the Hundred Flower Palace still maintains a neutral attitude and hasn't been involved in the Yuding civil war.
Mount Tao is the industry of the Hundred Flower Palace's three Jin Dan, the Peach Blossom Old Ancestor.
If the Hundred Flower Palace leaned towards one side, there was no reason for the people of Mount Tao to not move.
As far as he knew, on Mount Tao, there were five Foundation Establishment true cultivators.
And there was Xuan Yu, a late-stage great cultivator close to forming a Core; this was a great combat power.
It was a bit strange; obviously, the Hundred Flower Palace's Food Fragrance Master also went to Qingdan Valley to observe the ceremony.
Luo Chen shook his head and took a storage bag from Sima Huiniang's hand.
Inside were a large number of materials he needed, used for alchemy.
The two chatted, and he urged Sima Huiniang to keep everything as usual, focusing on stability.
After she left, Luo Chen entered the cave dwelling.
He handed the storage bag to Bai Meiling.
"Help me organize and place them; according to the marks I left before, just place them as usual, I'm going out for a trip now."
Bai Meiling nodded.
She still had this bit of ability.
Seeing Luo Chen about to go out, Gu Caiyi couldn't help but speak.
"Has something happened recently?"
Luo Chen gently rubbed her head, and the touch was much better than the withered grass-like touch before.
It could be seen that the recuperation during this period had indeed had an effect.
"Some small things, don't worry."
Gu Caiyi bit her lip, half-believing in her eyes.
Things that could make Sima Huiniang ignore the embarrassment of meeting her and come in person.
I'm afraid it wouldn't be a small thing, right?
The matter was naturally a big thing.
But every major event requires a calm spirit.
Luo Chen had already figured out the thoughts of the major Jin Dan sects conscripting subordinates to join the war.
The answer was actually very simple.
That was that the subsequent war would only be unprecedentedly fierce, and the great sects cherished their own feathers and didn't want to suffer too many losses.
Therefore, they wanted to drive loose cultivators and subordinates as war consumables, while preserving themselves as much as possible.
This point could be deduced from the many details on those dossiers.
Since the battle of Lingkong Secret Realm, the two great Nascent Soul upper sects rarely had high-level cultivators take action personally, but drove the sect's allies as the main means of competition.
But the Jin Dan great sects were not stupid either.
Their own cultivators were not easy to cultivate, and each one was raised with precious resources, so how could they be willing to take them out to consume?
Qingdan Valley recalled Foundation Establishment disciples under the pretext of the Dao Seed Struggle, and the Ice Fortress had been hesitant for so many years.
It could be seen that they also knew it well.
In this situation, they still had to participate in the war.
So, they set their sights on their subordinates.
Luo Chen didn't know how many subordinates the Ice Fortress had, or how many external subordinates the Absolute Heart lineage had.
But he knew that Qingdan Valley and the Yan Alliance had particularly many subordinates.
Taking the Yan Alliance as an example, Luo Chen knew of the Huo family of Taishan Workshop, the Zheng family of Gunlongji, and Tiejiantang back then.
This was still on the surface; how many would there be in the dark?
If these subordinates were gathered, they could integrate an army of tens of thousands.
With this batch of consumables, no matter what stage the war reached.
The great sects could preserve their own strength as much as possible!
Consumption!
Unless the Nascent Soul True Person who could determine the war situation took action personally, otherwise the war was about consumption.
Financial resources, material resources, human resources!
And in this situation, Luo Chen, an alchemist, appeared extremely precious.
The elixirs he refined could increase the strength of cultivators.
If strength is strong, the consumption of human resources will naturally decrease.
This was also the reason why the Absolute Heart Fairy let the Luotian Society all join the war, but only allowed Luo Chen to stay, letting him avoid this war.
"If I can maximize the reduction of casualties of the Ice Fortress... no, reduce the casualties of the Absolute Heart lineage, why do I need to let the Luotian Society all go to the battlefield?"
"What's more, compared to now, the future should be what the Absolute Heart Fairy values most."
Standing on top of Tianlan Peak.
Luo Chen looked at the cave dwelling door in front of him, clutching two jade bottles in his hand.
The next moment, the cave dwelling door slowly opened, and Luo Chen stepped into it.
Inside the cave dwelling, Luo Chen stood with his hands behind his back, fully displaying the demeanor of a grandmaster.
The Absolute Heart Fairy didn't look at his posturing.
Instead, she lowered her head, carefully examining the snow-white elixir with clear patterns in her hand.
"High-grade Jade Dew Elixir, Dan Chenzi, you hide quite deeply!"
Luo Chen smiled slightly, "It's not that I'm hiding my clumsiness, it's just that I've had many exchanges at the Tai Dan Academy in Qingdan Valley, and my alchemy skills have improved slightly, so I can easily refine high-grade Jade Dew Elixirs."
Easily refine?
The Absolute Heart Fairy's heart stirred, "What is your success rate?"
Luo Chen avoided the question and said directly: "As long as conditions permit, I can provide at least one hundred bottles of Jade Dew Elixirs to you every year!"
"Are they all high-grade?"
"Yes!"
The Absolute Heart Fairy fell into silence.
One hundred bottles is a huge number.
Her Absolute Heart lineage, since her Dao companion Shang Hu left, had not been influential in the Ice Fortress, otherwise she wouldn't have been sent to Tianlan Immortal City.
Therefore, there were only ten Foundation Establishment disciples in her lineage in total.
Weakness, nothing more than this.
Her eldest disciple Tantai Jin failed to compete for the Dao Seed, and there was no sect resource tilt.
If she had these one hundred bottles of high-grade Jade Dew Elixirs, it would play a huge role in the cultivation of her disciples.
Not to mention anything else, Tantai Jin could quickly cultivate to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.
With her help, there was a great chance of forming a Core.
In this way, she wouldn't be alone in the Ice Fortress, and even returning to the core of the Ice Fortress after leaving Tianlan was not impossible.
She raised her head and looked at Luo Chen.
"You said conditions permit? What kind of conditions?"
Luo Chen laughed freely, "Very simple, large-scale alchemy has never been a one-man effort. Collecting and processing the required medicinal materials takes a lot of effort; I need enough manpower."
The Absolute Heart Fairy twitched her lips, smiling but not smiling, "Don't want the Luotian Society cultivators to go to the battlefield?"
Luo Chen didn't cover it up and nodded directly.
Without waiting for the other party to refuse, he immediately sent another jade bottle.
"This is... eh?"
The Absolute Heart Fairy, who had just opened the bottle stopper, raised her eyebrows and blurted out subconsciously.
"Luoyun Sect's Blood Burning Elixir?"
"Not Luoyun Sect's elixir, but my Dan Chenzi's unique elixir!" Luo Chen said frankly.
The Absolute Heart Fairy held the elixir in her hand, and the rich fragrance of fresh blood rushed to her nose.
She knew this thing.
In the early battles between the Luoyun Sect and the Sword Sect, it had an amazing performance.
After Qi Refining disciples took it, they could instantly burst out with strength about thirty percent higher than their own.
It was truly an excellent item for cross-level killing and life-saving escape!
It's just a pity that the Luoyun Sect's Blood Burning Elixir became extremely rare after shining in the early stages.
Never expected that this elixir was actually Luo Chen's unique elixir.
No wonder!
No wonder the Luoyun Sect couldn't produce this kind of elixir later.
While she was thinking, Luo Chen continued:
"Ordinary Blood Burning Elixir is only enough for Qi Refining cultivators. But I can refine extreme-grade Blood Burning Elixir that even Foundation Establishment cultivators can use."
"If every Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Ice Fortress has one, I'm afraid many people can survive!"
The Absolute Heart Fairy's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said softly: "Ice Fortress Foundation Establishment?"
Luo Chen nodded and said: "I heard that your situation in the Ice Fortress is not very good, I can refine more extreme-grade Blood Burning Elixirs for you to use to befriend other fellow disciples. I think, looking at these life-saving items, the Absolute Heart lineage can have a much better time in the great war!"
This was said very directly.
Even, a bit disrespectful to the other party.
However, Luo Chen had no fear.
From the moment the Absolute Heart Fairy coldly informed him before, he knew there was no friendship between the two sides.
There was only naked interest entanglement.
The Absolute Heart Fairy felt the blood-red elixir on her fingertips, thinking constantly in her heart.
Befriend other fellow disciples?
More than that!
She could fully use this thing to make an article and trade with other Jin Dan cultivators.
Jin Dan cultivators of this era are rarely alone, mostly having disciples, descendants, and relatives.
It's just that...
"Can you refine extreme-grade Blood Burning Elixir in large quantities?" The Absolute Heart Fairy didn't quite believe it, "Although it is only a first-grade elixir, but involving the extreme-grade level..."
"Superior, I am Dan Chenzi!"
For the first time, Luo Chen interrupted the other party.
The Absolute Heart Fairy's expression stagnated, but there was no great anger.
Dan Chenzi, the existence that suppressed the most excellent alchemist of the younger generation of the alchemy great sect.
Questioning his alchemy skills is questioning the level of Qingdan Valley.
Even if the Absolute Heart Fairy had a high realm, she really didn't have much say in alchemy.
Putting away the two bottles of elixirs, she looked at Luo Chen.
"State your conditions!"
At this moment, the big stone in Luo Chen's heart finally fell to the ground.
