Chapter 477: Twenty-seven Sects Golden Core Exchange Meeting, are you Alchemist Danchenzi

Late at night.

Inside the Jia-8 cave dwelling of the Broken Moon Xiancheng.

Luo Chen sat cross-legged, his five hearts facing the sky, his right hand pinching the orchid finger seal, and his left hand pinching the Fire Gathering Spirit Art.

The "Burning Wood True Art" circulated slowly, and the surging magic power flowed continuously in his meridians, with a strong suction force centered on him, constantly absorbing the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy.

Not only that, but his vast spiritual sense was like a large net constantly being cast out.

Every time it was retracted, it could net a large group of spiritual energy.

The originally formless and colorless spiritual energy, under the double-pronged suction, formed a miniature cloud-energy tornado.

The cloud-energy tornado presented two colors, green and red; this was the wood-fire dual-attribute spiritual energy.

And the remaining three-system spiritual energy attached to it was mostly excluded, with only a small amount being absorbed into Luo Chen's body.

In the past, when refining Qi and establishing the foundation, circulating the life-bound cultivation method could often only be done one by one.

But after the Golden Core stage, the powerful soul foundation was enough to support a cultivator to circulate the life-bound cultivation method uninterruptedly in a short time, and the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy was also greatly increased.

This could also be considered one of the fundamental changes brought about after a cultivator formed their Golden Core.

Luo Chen's soul foundation was enough to rival that of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, therefore, even if the "Burning Wood True Art" was more difficult and complex when circulating, he could guarantee five great cycles in one circulation!

After five complete cycles.

Luo Chen opened his eyes, his lips parted slightly, and a gray-white turbid energy was slowly exhaled from his mouth, forming a scene like a dragon of energy in the spacious cultivation room.

Feeling the state of his body, Luo Chen couldn't help but show a satisfied smile.

Sure enough!

For high-grade cultivators, the importance of spiritual land far exceeds that of ordinary pills.

Just from this night of cultivation, the magic power he improved was comparable to the Tier 3 Starry Pill he had painstakingly refined.

Pills had many restrictions, and refining was extremely cumbersome.

By comparison, Tier 3 spiritual land didn't have so many restrictions.

Especially under years of cultivation, the benefits of spiritual land were even better than pills.

Unless, it was a top-grade Tier 3 pill like the Five Elements Divine Pill.

"I don't dare to think about the Five Elements Divine Pill; grinding up the proficiency of the Starry Pill early is the right thing to do."

"I already have the Luo Tian Sect helping me collect the materials needed for the Starry Pill, and now I have the Wind and Rain Villa, the Cen family, and others helping me, so I can refine pills and grind proficiency even more unscrupulously."

"I wonder when the Luo Yun Sect will start sending troops, and I don't know if the time left for me is enough?"

While thoughts flowed in his heart.

Luo Chen circulated the "Dust Origin Art" once more.

Although this art was a secret art for forming the Golden Core, its grade was as high as the Supreme Method level under system appraisal, and its effect went far beyond forming the Golden Core!

Even though Luo Chen was at Golden Core Level 1, he would still circulate this art from time to time.

Expelling pill poison, condensing magic power, purifying magic power...

Don't look at Luo Chen's slow cultivation progress now, but his foundation, under such unhurried cultivation, was becoming more robust and terrifying!

He even felt that over time, his soul foundation had also made slight progress.

"Locking the Pearl Curtain," an art for splitting the soul and condensing magic power.

"Settling the Wind and Waves," a method for restraining the heart-monkey and firming the will.

Plus the early "Bright Spirit Breaking Sha."

Integrating the essence of these cultivation methods and secret arts, the "Dust Origin Art" naturally carried a slight effect of tempering the soul.

In Luo Chen's view, if there were such good seedlings with naturally powerful souls, cultivating this art at the early stage of foundation establishment, perhaps after cultivating to the Great Perfection of foundation establishment, they could form a Golden Core as naturally as water flowing into a channel!

However, such good seedlings were extremely rare in the cultivation world.

Even for the Luo Yun Sect, it was estimated that they wouldn't receive a seedling that could reach his standard in a thousand years.

So this speculation only stayed at the fantasy stage.

After cultivating the "Dust Origin Art" once, Luo Chen's cultivation had not yet stopped.

Resting slightly for the time of a stick of incense.

Luo Chen closed his eyes again.

The movements of the spirit arts on his hands also began to change constantly.

And on his body, a layer of green firelight began to linger.

The firelight was ethereal, as if it were breathing; between one swallow and one spit, the air in the cultivation room seemed to be distorted.

This was "Ten Thousand Paths Converging."

Luo Chen circulated this cultivation method, mobilizing his life-bound true fire, the Withered Glory Fire, to temper his physical body.

Although immortal cultivators didn't value physique, they valued soul and magic power more.

But after Luo Chen enjoyed the many benefits brought by a powerful body, letting him give up body refining was something he was absolutely reluctant to do.

Of course!

Main body refining was impossible; like Wang Yuan, putting in too much energy was truly not worth the loss for Luo Chen.

The path of body refining, the future was unclear, and it focused more on actual combat improvement...

Luo Chen didn't like fighting and killing at all, nor did he want to learn Wang Yuan's path of breaking through in the middle of a battle.

That was too dangerous.

He still liked to have success in his realm and, after polishing all kinds of means to be incomparably proficient, then go to face the enemy.

A night of bitter cultivation.

Luo Chen, who walked out of the cultivation room the next day, was still in high spirits!

Such spirit, of course, wasn't because cultivation was very refreshing and not tiring at all.

The main reason was still that he had suddenly obtained a place to cultivate, and Luo Chen was still in joy.

After coming out, he didn't go out of the cave dwelling gate.

Instead, after skipping four rooms, he came to a spacious side hall.

*Clang! *

An object like a pot or a furnace fell to the ground.

It was precisely that incomplete alchemy magic treasure, the Minister Cauldron.

After injecting magic power, the Minister Cauldron grew with the wind, and in an instant, it was a zhang high.

Perhaps it was because they heard the sound.

The doors of the four rooms also opened.

Wang Yuan, Chu Kui, Xu Huanzhen, and the junior Ceng Yilong all appeared in unison.

"Supreme Elder, are you going to refine pills?" Ceng Yilong stood by the side, looking at Luo Chen's movements curiously.

Luo Chen nodded with a smile.

First, he opened the lid of the Minister Cauldron, and then took out miscellaneous medicinal herbs from his storage ring, placing them in categories.

In this process, he checked the degree of pre-processing of the medicinal herbs by the way.

This was a good habit he had developed from years of alchemy.

Before alchemy, one must check the condition of the medicinal herbs.

Otherwise, even if one had the best alchemy technique, if the materials were not good, one would still fail.

If it was because of a rat dropping that a pot of soup was ruined, then Luo Chen couldn't accept that.

Ceng Yilong looked around puzzled, "There is no ground fire drawn in this cave dwelling, Supreme Elder, how are you going to refine pills?"

*Ssh! *

A light sound.

A wisp of fire lingered on Luo Chen's fingertips.

"Use this!"

Luo Chen said with a smile.

Ceng Yilong suddenly realized, it was actually life-bound true fire!

"Is there anything that needs help?" Xu Huanzhen asked.

Luo Chen waved his hand, "You guys go do your own things; I will basically stay in the cave dwelling to refine pills recently. If there is anything, I will call you."

The few nodded and dispersed separately.

Luo Chen stood in front of the Minister Cauldron, checked it slightly, and took out a pile of materials from his storage ring, simply building an alchemy room.

"Although it can't compare to the alchemy room built by the cultivators of Ailao Mountain, it is enough for me to use for a while."

Luo Chen missed the alchemy room he had on Tianlan Peak a bit.

Unlike the Yuding Domain, the Xiaoyue Mountain Range did not have rich ground fire resources.

Therefore, when the Broken Moon Xiancheng was built, most of the cave dwellings did not draw in ground fire.

It had to be said that this was a very regrettable thing.

Fortunately, Luo Chen possessed the Withered Glory Fire.

Otherwise, he would also be a clever woman unable to cook without rice.

After everything was prepared.

Luo Chen, while manipulating the Withered Glory Fire, used magic power to draw the medicinal herbs into the cauldron.

He began to grind the proficiency of the Starry Pill!

And he also worked hard for his own subsequent cultivation resources!

While Luo Chen was refining pills with peace of mind, time passed slowly.

Two days later.

A sound transmission talisman was spinning around in the great array outside Luo Chen's cave dwelling.

The great array opened instantly, and the sound transmission talisman flew in.

Not long after, Luo Chen, who had taken on a brand-new look, walked out of the cave dwelling.

A high bun, wearing a jade crown, two white hair ribbons flying outside his jet-black hair.

Combined with his young face and tall, straight figure, anyone who saw him would have to say he had a good appearance!

With a wave of his red, gold-edged sleeves, Luo Chen went straight down the isolated peak.

But the direction he went was not the immortal city, but rather towards another isolated peak.

During the flight, Luo Chen looked around and found many escape lights.

Judging from the fierce magic power fluctuations, there was no doubt that the owners of these escape lights were all Golden Core cultivators.

"The Golden Core cultivator exchange meeting held by the Luo Yun Sect this time has invited quite a few peers!"

Luo Chen sighed and accelerated his speed.

After a few breaths, his figure stopped outside the gate of a palace.

After handing the invitation to the Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Luo Yun Sect guarding the gate, Luo Chen stepped into the palace gate.

As soon as he stepped in, Luo Chen raised his eyebrows.

In an instant, more than ten spiritual senses swept towards him in unison.

With a move in his heart, Luo Chen also released his spiritual sense.

After slight contact, those spiritual senses were retracted, but there were also people who made light sounds of surprise in this process.

Following those light sounds of surprise, Luo Chen raised his eyes to look.

It was an old acquaintance!

"Alchemist Danchenzi, over here!"

Under the curious gazes, Luo Chen walked over.

"Fellow Daoist Fei, long time no see!"

Golden Core stage Elder of Ailao Mountain—Fei Ming.

Why wouldn't he call him an old acquaintance?

Fei Ming's gaze swept up and down, somewhat impolite, but also casual.

After a look, he clicked his tongue in praise: "Just now, at the initial contact, I didn't dare to be sure. Now I dare to be sure, you are only at Golden Core Level 1, yet your spiritual sense strength actually rivals mine without falling behind in any way; you are truly a formidable youth!"

Luo Chen smiled and didn't speak.

Just now, when entering the door, those ten or so spiritual senses swept over, both curious about his identity and measuring his strength.

Whether he had the qualifications to participate in this exchange meeting.

In that situation, the Golden Core Level 1 realm played no role.

Therefore, Luo Chen released his spiritual sense with all his might, without hiding anything.

Thus, he gained everyone's recognition.

"Did you cultivate any soul secret art? How is your spiritual sense so powerful?"

Fei Ming was very curious.

But seeing Luo Chen not speak for a long while, he knew he had spoken out of turn and didn't pursue the question.

After skipping this topic, Luo Chen chatted casually about the construction of the Broken Moon Xiancheng.

Twenty-seven sects built the Broken Moon Xiancheng together, led by the Luo Yun Sect and the Tianfan City, and Ailao Mountain also contributed a lot to this.

Luo Chen asked about this, which truly scratched Fei Ming's itch, and for a time, they chatted happily.

And in this process, Golden Core cultivators would arrive outside the hall from time to time.

Fei Ming noticed the curiosity in Luo Chen's eyes and began to introduce the identities of those people to him.

"The one who came from the Pearl Returning Tower is the Deputy Tower Master Xiaoxiangzi; the real name is unknown, and the face is also unknown. This sect is like this, rarely revealing its true face, and many people even suspect that the killers of the Pearl Returning Tower are existences in high positions in other sects."

Luo Chen was somewhat surprised; the Deputy Tower Master of the Pearl Returning Tower would be a high-level person in another sect?

Suddenly, he reacted.

This kind of killer organization actually didn't suit the sect inheritance system at all.

And if it was composed of strong people from various forces, it made perfect sense.

Some strong people who were not good at the hundred arts of immortal cultivation but were proficient in fighting joined the Pearl Returning Tower anonymously, both to take tasks to earn resources and to hone themselves.

It was a beautiful thing that killed two birds with one stone!

This could also explain why a killer organization that was only at the level of a Golden Core major sect could survive in the cultivation world.

"Two people came from the Dream Spring Cave, the Sect Master Si Nan, and the Elder Yu Jade Jiao Long. The latter should have been brought to see the world; she actually didn't form her core a few years earlier than you."

Luo Chen's gaze paused for a moment on the petite and exquisite female cultivator.

Perhaps noticing others' attention, Yu Jade Jiao Long looked over subconsciously.

After seeing it was Luo Chen, her eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle.

"What keen perception!"

Luo Chen sighed secretly in his heart, and then he also noticed that there was a gaze watching him quietly.

Turning his head to look, it was precisely that Deputy Tower Master of the Pearl Returning Tower whom Fei Ming had just introduced.

"Why does Xiaoxiangzi keep staring at me?"

"What keen perception!"

Xiaoxiangzi in the corner lowered his eyelids, surprised in his heart at Luo Chen's spiritual perception.

He himself was extremely proficient in restraining breath and hiding, sneaking and assassinating.

Often when observing someone, others wouldn't notice.

This Luo Chen actually reacted instantly!

This kind of perception was either honed between life and death, or his soul foundation was far greater than his, or his foundation and aptitude were excellent to the extreme, similar to the existence of Yu Jade Jiao Long's Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Xiaoxiangzi couldn't judge, but the degree of importance he attached to Luo Chen in his heart was invisibly raised by several levels.

"Cannot be treated as a person who just entered the Golden Core stage!"

On Luo Chen's side, noticing that Xiaoxiangzi didn't continue to stare at him, he didn't look over there anymore.

There were too many Golden Core cultivators here; except for probing those who just entered, everyone still maintained courtesy and politeness, without excessively using spiritual sense.

Therefore, between exchanges, it was mostly verbal narration and eye contact.

Fei Ming continued to introduce the identities of the many peers present today to him.

"That woman with a red mole between her eyebrows is the founding ancestor of the White Rainbow Sect, Chu Baihong; she looks very young, but she is actually almost five hundred years old. Her realm is a bit higher than mine, Golden Core Level 5, and her means of 'Qi Penetrating White Rainbow' are extremely powerful; she has been recognized by strong people of the Five Elements Divine Sect."

"Five zhang away to your right, the old man in dirty clothes has an unknown name; everyone calls him the Sloppy Daoist. It is said that he begged for a living in the mortal world when he was young, luckily stepped onto the immortal path, and from then on, he couldn't stop. He is now a strong existence at Golden Core Level 8; in the coalition army of the eighteen Golden Core major sects this time, the Fish Dragon Gang he leads is a very strong force."

"..."

Under Fei Ming's introduction, Luo Chen gradually recognized the representative figures of the eighteen Golden Core major sects.

Combined with the intelligence collected by the Luo Tian Sect before, and verified by the two, he had a preliminary understanding.

"The Green Pill Valley has already announced its withdrawal from this opening war, but with your Luo Tian Alliance joining in, it is still a force at the level of eighteen Golden Core major sects."

"Oh, your old friend is here!"

Fei Ming stopped talking.

Luo Chen looked up and saw a woman as cold as frost stepping into the hall.

Fairy Jueqing!

She paused at the door and then walked straight towards the two.

Halfway through her walk.

Fei Ming patted Luo Chen on the shoulder, "Speaking of which, do you know Fairy Jueqing's real name?"

Luo Chen became interested, "What is it?"

"You definitely wouldn't expect it; she is such a cold beauty, and her actions are also ruthless, and her Daoist name is Jueqing. Actually, her real name is Gu Xiaorou; back then..."

"Fei Ming!"

A cold voice sounded.

Fei Ming laughed, bowed in a Daoist salute, "Fellow Daoist Jueqing, long time no see. I still remember the days when you and I joined forces to chase and kill the dog thief Qin Tairan."

Fairy Jueqing hummed.

Her gaze fell on Luo Chen.

"You're here."

"Gu..."

"Hmm?"

"Fellow Daoist Jueqing, long time no see?" Luo Chen smiled sheepishly; he was still shocked that Fairy Jueqing's real name was so delicate, and almost blurted it out.

Fairy Jueqing pulled the corners of her mouth, "I am very well, no need for you, this heaven's pride, to worry."

Facing this sarcastic remark.

Luo Chen didn't react for a moment.

But thinking about his actions after seclusion, as well as the situation of the Bingbao, he could understand.

The current Bingbao, even if it couldn't be said to be precarious, could be called severely injured.

But after Luo Chen came out of seclusion, he didn't visit the Bingbao first, but went to the Green Pill Valley instead.

It was inevitable that the Bingbao cultivators had grievances.

Plus, although he still maintained the business of Jade Dew Pills with the Bingbao, he only occasionally refined a batch of high-grade Jade Dew Pills, and most of them were still low-grade Jade Dew Pills refined by his disciple Qu Lingjun.

Because of all these things, there was dissatisfaction in the woman's words.

But times have changed!

The Luo Tian Sect was no longer an appendage of the Bingbao, and he, Luo Chen, had also formed an alliance force with five Golden Cores.

In this way, the two sides were an equal cooperative relationship.

This dissatisfaction...

Luo Chen didn't get angry, but said kindly: "After the opening war ends, Luo hopes to have a small drink with you on the Heavenly Mountain."

A small drink on the Heavenly Mountain?

Jueqing wrinkled her eyebrows.

Entering the forbidden area of another sect alone was considered extreme trust in the other side.

Luo Chen saying this was indicating his stance.

At the same time, he was also wishing himself that he could survive this unknown opening war.

The woman's eyebrows gradually relaxed.

However, she didn't say much more and just stood quietly to the side.

Fei Ming, on the other hand, felt some regret.

"It's a pity that the Green Pill Valley withdrew; otherwise, it would be a beautiful thing for the four families of the Yuding Domain to gather together."

The reason for the Green Pill Valley's withdrawal, although not completely spread, was still very clear to several Golden Core major sects in the Yuding Domain.

Refining the Core-Forming Pill failed, most of the senior alchemists of the Tai Dan Institute died, and Qing Danzi was about to sit and die.

At such a time, choosing to give up the huge benefits that might be brought by the opening war was a wise choice.

Luo Chen asked curiously: "What about the Hundred Flowers Palace? As far as I know, the three Golden Cores of the Hundred Flowers Palace are quite active in the Broken Moon Xiancheng; why haven't I seen anyone today?"

Fei Ming looked at Luo Chen in surprise.

"Alchemist Danchenzi, don't you know?"

"What?"

"The Hundred Flowers Palace also participated in the opening war, but not in its own name, but in the name of the Hehuan Sect."

Luo Chen was stunned.

He had vaguely understood before that the Hundred Flowers Palace was a branch of the Hehuan Sect.

It was a force left behind by the Hehuan Sect when they opened up the Lianxia Mountain Range and settled the Yuding Domain years ago.

It was precisely because of this that even when the Yuding civil war was raging before, the Hundred Flowers Palace still maintained a neutral attitude and sat firmly on the mountain.

But he really didn't expect that the Hundred Flowers Palace would act under the banner of the Hehuan Sect at this time.

Didn't this mean giving up their independence and returning to the Hehuan Sect?

In this way.

"Then can the Yuding Sword Sect still tolerate the Hundred Flowers Palace?"

In this world, there was no Nascent Soul upper sect that would allow another upper sect to develop on its own territory under its own name.

Facing this question.

The silent Fairy Jueqing said quietly: "Naturally, they can't tolerate it, but they have another place to go."

"Settling in the future Xiaoyue Mountain Range?" Luo Chen asked as a matter of course.

However, a spiritual sense transmission from Fairy Jueqing made him stunned.

The Great Snow Mountain?

Fei Ming also seemed to have known this news long ago, so he looked at the two of them exchanging spiritual senses with a smile.

Yunhe Daoist couple, Hundred Flowers Palace, borrowing power to open up the Great Snow Mountain... even the Bingbao would help!

When this intelligence entered his ears.

Luo Chen was very surprised!

He remembered very clearly that when Canglong True Person was crossing the tribulation, it was True Person Han Zhan of the Luo Yun Sect who helped protect the Dao.

Logically speaking, if the Bingbao were to help, it should be helping the Luo Yun Sect!

Luo Chen asked tentatively: "Isn't the Bingbao on good terms with that True Person of the Luo Yun Sect? Why not put their energy into opening up the Xiaoyue Mountain Range?"

Fairy Jueqing looked at him in surprise, "How do you know... forget it, you thought wrong about this matter."

She didn't delve into Luo Chen's source of information; some things were already hearsay in the Yuding Domain and spread widely.

She just said: "That True Person of the Luo Yun Sect was only on good terms with Senior Sister, and even borrowed my Bingbao's Ice Prison to cultivate soul secret arts, but after a certain incident, the grievances were cleared."

A certain incident?

Thinking about it, it was the matter of protecting the Dao.

"Next, my Bingbao will mainly help Yunhe Daoist couple's side; the main reason is also because the Bingbao's geographical environment is relatively special, so we have no choice."

Once she said this, Luo Chen understood very quickly.

The Bingbao was on the edge of the Yuding Domain and bordered the Great Snow Mountain.

It was already precarious!

Plus, Canglong True Person forcibly borrowed the territory of the White Bone Mysterious Snake to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Causing the peaceful situation between the two sides to be broken.

I heard that in the past few years, the beast tide on the Great Snow Mountain side has erupted several times, and the Bingbao has been exhausted in dealing with it.

If they could help Yunhe Daoist couple take down the Great Snow Mountain and turn it into human territory, then the Bingbao's crisis could also be eased.

"Luo Chen, are you going to Yunhe Daoist couple's side?"

Luo Chen asked back: "Are you acting as a lobbyist?"

"No, just asking casually." Fairy Jueqing shook her head; it was very clear she didn't mean to be a lobbyist.

Luo Chen gave an explanation: "I am proficient in fire arts; the ice and snow are not suitable for my long-term cultivation, so the Xiaoyue Mountain Range is more suitable."

It was a reason, but it was also an excuse.

After a cultivator reaches the Golden Core stage, unless it is an extreme cold environment like the Bingbao Heavenly Mountain, they will not be affected too deeply by the external cultivation environment.

Between heaven and earth, yin and yang are balanced, and the five elements are complete.

Any spiritual land mostly does not have obvious spiritual energy bias.

Between Tier 3 spiritual veins, there may be differences in spiritual energy concentration, but in terms of spiritual energy attribute distribution, they are still very balanced.

Fairy Jueqing accepted this reason.

She just took the opportunity to tell Luo Chen, so as not to have miscalculations about each other's strength on the battlefield at that time.

While the three were talking.

At the palace gate, escape lights appeared.

A pair of beautiful figures appeared before everyone.

In just an instant, it attracted everyone's attention.

Those were two women, one as graceful and luxurious as a peony, the other as beautiful and charming as a rose.

Fei Ming whispered: "You know both of these!"

Luo Chen replied: "I know one, Fragrance Master. As for the other, could it be the legendary Hundred Flowers Fairy, the Palace Master of the Hundred Flowers Palace?"

Fei Ming nodded, "Your knowledge is not bad; it is them."

The arrival of the two beautiful female cultivators immediately attracted most people's attention, and many people deliberately walked up to make friends and chat.

The combat power of female cultivators from the Hehuan Sect was hard to say, but in terms of social interaction, they were definitely second to none.

After a few sentences, they were chatting quite happily.

In this process, the Fragrance Master's gaze flowed, and from time to time, she cast her gaze on Luo Chen and their side.

However, Luo Chen and the others didn't take the initiative to go up and chat.

It was very clear.

The Hundred Flowers Fairy and the Fragrance Master had both come, so the representatives of other Nascent Soul upper sects would also come.

Sure enough.

Following closely behind the two, someone flew in gracefully.

As soon as they landed, a series of exclamations sounded in the hall.

Many people surrounded them.

Including the group of people who were surrounding the Hundred Flowers Fairy and the Fragrance Master before!

The reason for this situation was very simple.

The person who came was named Meng Changshou, a Golden Core Elder of the Medicine King Sect, a famous Tier 3 Alchemy Grandmaster!

"Grandmaster Meng, long time no see, your style is even better than in the past!"

"You are Zhou Feng!"

"You are still as elegant and easy-going as ever, actually still remembering me; back then I was just a Foundation Establishment junior..."

"Yu Jade Jiao Long has met Grandmaster Meng!"

"Hmm, the little girl's aptitude is not bad, and she is still so young. We are old; the future cultivation world will be the world of you young people."

"Fellow Daoist Meng, it has been a hundred years since we parted in the secret realm!"

"Fellow Daoist Chu, long time no see!"

Amidst a series of greetings.

Luo Chen stood behind the crowd, with a bit of envy in his eyes.

This was the truly famous Alchemy Grandmaster who had already achieved success in alchemy!

Once he appeared, he attracted everyone's attention!

Even if the Hundred Flowers Fairy and the Fragrance Master were as beautiful as celestial beings, in front of the other party, it seemed that it didn't count for anything at all.

By comparison, his own "Alchemy Grandmaster" who was praised for having a bright future was relatively famous in name only.

Everyone valued only his potential.

After all, everyone knew clearly that he had only formed his Golden Core not long ago, and whether he could refine Tier 3 pills was still a matter of debate.

Of course!

Luo Chen didn't belittle himself either.

He knew very clearly that the reason Meng Changshou could make so many people take the initiative to curry favor was also because he was backed by the Alchemy upper sect, the Medicine King Sect!

The other party was not just currying favor with Meng Changshou personally, but also with the sect behind him.

Once they were on good terms with him, perhaps the Medicine King Sect could supply more Tier 3 pills in the future.

Cultivating alchemists was very difficult.

Just entering the door as a Tier 1 alchemist would consume unknown amounts of resources.

Ordinary sects could still bear this consumption.

Even a Tier 2 alchemist was still within the range of gritting their teeth.

But a Tier 3 alchemist...

Let's just say this, Luo Chen refined Tier 3 Starry Pills, and the cost of one portion of raw materials was two thousand spirit stones!

He also had the system as a big killer, which could stabilize the pill success rate.

But even so, refining a bottle of low-grade Starry Pill would consume a full twenty thousand spirit stones.

And such a Starry Pill actually only sold for four or five thousand spirit stones.

If an ordinary Golden Core major sect were to cultivate alchemists to refine Starry Pills?

The loss, accumulated over time, would be a cost of millions of spirit stones.

And even then, it was not certain that they could really successfully enter the door!

And even if they succeeded, it didn't mean they could improve to a higher success rate and a higher finished product rate.

The lack of high-grade alchemists led to the scarcity of high-grade pills.

Take the vast Yuding Domain as an example.

The Tier 3 alchemists who could be named were actually Mu Yunyan of the Luo Yun Sect, Qing Danzi of the Green Pill Valley, True Person Chiding, and True Person Xingyun.

The rising stars Qing Yunzi and Dan Yangzi, who were said to be Tier 3 alchemists, actually hadn't heard of them successfully refining Tier 3 pills until now.

Apart from this, there was also a Tier 3 alchemist inside the Yuding Sword Sect.

And then, that was it!

The Bingbao used to have one, named Shang Hu, but unfortunately, he was executed by his Daoist partner, Fairy Jueqing, for the sake of righteousness.

The deceased Hehuan Sect had no Tier 3 alchemists, only some collected Tier 3 pill formulas and a small number of Tier 2 alchemists.

Ailao Mountain didn't have one, and the Hundred Flowers Palace didn't have one.

Calculating it this way, the once vast Yuding Domain actually only had five Tier 3 alchemists.

These five people couldn't satisfy the pill needs of the Golden Core cultivators in a domain at all.

Therefore, the status of the Medicine King Sect was so lofty.

Even if they didn't intervene in any disputes, as long as a Tier 3 alchemist from this sect came out, they were often treated as honored guests.

"If I took out Starry Pills for sale today, could I also achieve such..."

This thought, just as it emerged, was strangled by Luo Chen.

With his own strength, how could he compare to the strength of the Medicine King Sect?

Even if he showed today that he had the ability to refine Tier 3 cultivation-type pills, he would at most make friends with a batch of people, and could not achieve the status of Meng Changshou.

"Let's go, let's go up and join the fun too!"

His sleeve was pulled by Fei Ming.

Luo Chen didn't refuse.

He was never a person who thought himself noble, and going up now, although there was suspicion of currying favor, everyone did this, so no one would think so.

It just so happened that the exchange meeting hadn't officially started yet, and it was in the stage of getting to know each other and mixing faces.

No one would ignore the occasion and not know how to advance or retreat by pulling Meng Changshou to chat endlessly; more people were just saying hello and leaving the space to others.

Fei Ming pinched an opportunity and took Luo Chen into the crowd.

"Fellow Daoist Meng, long time no see. Fei has missed you dearly!"

Meng Changshou was a white-haired old man, spirited, with a ruddy face.

Seeing Fei Ming, his eyes lit up.

"It's Fellow Daoist Fei! You came just in time; I was just thinking of looking for you."

The rare familiar words showed that Fei Ming was different from the crowd of people who had greeted Meng Changshou before.

Fei Ming straightened his back, "Could it be for the matter of the alchemy room?"

Meng Changshou laughed loudly: "As expected of you, a clever person, you guessed it right away. I plan to stay in the Broken Moon Xiancheng for a while, and I am just missing an alchemy room that fits my style and habits; I will have to trouble you later."

Fei Ming smiled reservedly, saying it was no trouble, but the brilliance of that smile was something everyone could see—he was very proud at this moment.

Being able to be looked at differently by Meng Changshou among a crowd of Golden Core cultivators.

It truly made him very proud.

Meng Changshou's gaze turned and fell on Luo Chen.

"This young talent?"

Fei Ming stepped aside and introduced him personally: "The number one Foundation Establishment person in the Yuding Domain, the founding ancestor of the Luo Tian Sect, the leader of the Luo Tian Alliance, Alchemist Danchenzi!"

Meng Changshou's eyes lit up.

Luo Chen bowed formally.

"Luo Chen."

"Met Fellow Daoist Meng."

*Slap! *

In Luo Chen's astonishment, Meng Changshou grabbed his arm.

This action made the others stunned as well.

Some who were quick-witted had already begun to guess the relationship between Luo Chen and Meng Changshou and the Medicine King Sect.

However, they didn't have to guess for long before Meng Changshou's next words let them know why the other party had such an abrupt action.

Only to see the old man ask excitedly: "You are Alchemist Danchenzi, that rogue alchemist who participated in the Green Pill Valley's refining of the Tier 4 Core-Forming Pill?"

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

So it was for this matter!

He said modestly: "I did participate, but I was not the leader, and in the end, it regrettably failed."

"Failure doesn't matter!" Meng Changshou waved his hand, "Everyone has times when they fail, not to mention the Core-Forming Pill, which is very difficult even among Tier 4 pills. I have tried to refine Tier 4 pills over the years, and I haven't succeeded either. Come, tell me about the specific situation of refining the Core-Forming Pill at that time. I only regret that I was tied up with sect affairs at the time, otherwise I would have definitely..."

Luo Chen had completely understood the origin of the other party's attitude.

This was an alchemist who was extremely obsessed with alchemy!

And now he was stuck at the threshold of cross-grade refining of Tier 4 pills.

It just so happened that he met a peer, and it was Luo Chen who had an experience. That was why he treated him with such enthusiasm.

This kind of situation, Luo Chen had actually seen many times.

For example, he chatted about body refining with Wang Yuan, he asked for advice on array methods from Min Longyu... just now, he chatted with Fei Ming about building the Broken Moon Xiancheng, and Fei Ming was also very interested in talking.

It was just that this Meng Changshou performed more openly.

Or rather, with his status, he no longer needed to care about those superficial cultivation of Qi.

Whatever emotion he had, he expressed it.

"If I chat more with him at this time, not only can I increase my alchemy attainments, but I can also improve my status in the hearts of others."

Luo Chen's peripheral vision swept over the expressions of the others, which were surprised, curious, or thoughtful.

But soon, he reacted.

"Fellow Daoist Meng, there are many peers today, why don't we make an appointment for another day to chat in detail?"

Meng Changshou was stunned, and seeing that there were still people behind the crowd who wanted to squeeze in, he also realized.

Looking at Luo Chen's calm and composed appearance, a sense of appreciation couldn't help but arise in his heart.

This young man is very sensible and didn't climb up the pole just now.

"Okay!"

"I will make an appointment for a time, and we will have a good chat about the Dao of Alchemy."

Luo Chen smiled freely and took the opportunity to withdraw from the crowd.

With this, a new Golden Core cultivator went up, and when passing by, he cast a grateful look at Luo Chen.

But many people's gazes were looking at Luo Chen's back.

Valued by the Green Pill Valley, invited to refine the Core-Forming Pill!

And caught the eye of Meng Changshou of the Medicine King Sect.

Plus all his previous deeds.

This Luo Chen, as long as he doesn't fall, will inevitably be a famous figure in the Eastern Wasteland in the future!

Thinking this way, someone was soon moved.

Anyway, there were too many people currying favor with Meng Changshou, and they couldn't squeeze in, so why not make friends with this star of tomorrow first?

But being moved often didn't mean others acted faster.

I don't know when, but there were already several Golden Core cultivators in the hall, all of whom were existences of other Nascent Soul upper sects.

Fairy Fengyue of the Feng Hua Palace, Elder Yexiang of the Divine Talisman Sect, Motian Cliff... and Jin Buque of the Five Elements Divine Sect!

At this moment, that Jin Buque was standing in front of Luo Chen, chatting and laughing.

No one knew what the two of them were talking about.

But the smiles hanging on each other's faces were very bright.

From time to time, the two would gesture with their hands, pinching a spirit art or something.

Were they discussing spells?

Yes!

The Five Elements Divine Sect was proficient in the research and development of various strange arts and wonderful methods.

Luo Chen also had the Daoist name of Fire Spirit True Person and was extremely proficient in fire-type spells.

With the two of them together, the main topic was inevitably about spells.

Inside the hall.

Because of the arrival of the two female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect, the atmosphere began to rise.

With the appearance of Meng Changshou of the Medicine King Sect, it reached a climax.

And the subsequent representatives of the Golden Core stage of the Nascent Soul upper sects, after being discovered, also took the initiative to go up and chat.

When the Alchemy Grandmaster Huyan Zhuo of the Tianfan City appeared, it caused another sensation.

The other party's reputation was incomparably loud, spreading across more than a dozen cultivation domains!

Even more than Meng Changshou!

Luo Chen, who had just traded a secret art for clearing foreign magic power from Jin Buque, saw Huyan Zhuo, and his eyes lit up instantly!

Alchemy Grandmaster!

Life-bound magic treasure!

This fun, Luo Chen was determined to join!

"Fellow Daoist Jin, chat next time?"

"No problem."

Jin Buque sent Luo Chen away with a smile.

Watching the other party walk towards Huyan Zhuo, he roughly understood the other party's thoughts.

He had been tracking and investigating intelligence about Luo Chen.

"The ancestor hasn't woken up yet; stabilize the relationship with Luo Chen first."

"No rush, no rush!"

Luo Chen's steps were fast, but the anxious look on his face was not obvious, still appearing calm.

When passing a corner, his figure subconsciously paused.

He looked sideways.

A very young man in a green shirt nodded to him gently.

Luo Chen hesitated for a moment, bowed and said: "Luo Tian Sect, Luo Chen."

The green-shirted man bowed, "Yuding Sword Sect, Lin Qingxuan."

Luo Chen's expression tightened; the number one Foundation Establishment person in Yuding before him!

Lin Qingxuan spread one hand, "Borrow a step, chat?"

Luo Chen was somewhat hesitant.

Lin Qingxuan followed his gaze and looked in the direction of Huyan Zhuo.

He smiled slightly, "Don't go; that Grandmaster Huyan Zhuo has a very strange temperament, especially irritable when communicating with strangers. If you go up like this, not only will you not get benefits, but it will also easily breed disgust."

Luo Chen was stunned; he really didn't know about this.

But thinking about it seriously, a grandmaster-level figure who was extremely addicted to refining new magic tools, being stolen by countless people to profit from his name, no matter who it was, couldn't have a good temper.

After weighing it, he chose to believe Lin Qingxuan.

The two walked to a quiet place.

What Luo Chen didn't expect was that there was no sword-drawing tension between the two generations of Yuding's number one Foundation Establishment people.

The first sentence the other party said was:

"Thank you!"
