Chapter 477: Twenty-seven sect Core Formation exchange meeting, you are Dan Chenzi

~35 min read 6,936 words

Late at night.

In the A-8 cave dwelling of Broken Moon Immortal City.

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

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

Not only that, but his vast spiritual sense spread out like a large net.

Every time it was retracted, it could net a large mass of spiritual energy.

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

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

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

In the past, during Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment, circulating the natal cultivation technique often had to be done one by one.

But after the Core Formation stage, the powerful soul foundation was enough to support a cultivator to circulate the natal cultivation technique continuously 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 Jin Dan.

Luo Chen's soul foundation was comparable to that of a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, so even though the "Burning Wood True Technique" was more difficult and complex to circulate, he could ensure 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 gas dragon in the spacious cultivation chamber.

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 a spiritual land far outweighs that of ordinary pills.

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

Pills had many restrictions, and refining was extremely cumbersome.

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

Especially under years of cultivation, the benefits of a spiritual land were 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 real business."

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

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

As thoughts flowed in his heart.

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

Although this technique was a secret technique for Core Formation, its grade was as high as the supreme level under system identification, and its effect went far beyond Core Formation!

Even though Luo Chen was at the first tier of Core Formation, he would still circulate this technique from time to time.

Removing 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 and more robust and terrifying!

Even, over time, he faintly felt that his soul foundation had also made slight progress.

"Locking Pearl Curtain," a technique for splitting the soul and condensing magic power.

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

Plus the early "Bright Spirit Breaking Evil."

Integrating the essence of these cultivation techniques and secret arts, the "Dust Origin Technique" naturally carried some effects of tempering the soul.

In Luo Chen's view, if there were such a good seedling with a naturally strong soul, practicing this technique at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, perhaps after cultivating to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, they could form a Jin Dan as naturally as water flowing!

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

Even the Falling Cloud Sect probably wouldn't receive a seedling that could reach his standard in a thousand years.

So this speculation only stayed at the fantasy stage.

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

Resting slightly for the time of an incense stick.

Luo Chen closed his eyes again.

The spiritual technique movements 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 chamber seemed to be distorted.

This was "Ten Thousand Paths Merging."

Luo Chen circulated this cultivation technique, mobilizing his natal true fire, the Withering-Glory Fire, to temper his physical body.

Although cultivators don't value the physique, they value the soul and magic power more.

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

Of course!

It was impossible to focus on body refining; paying too much energy like Wang Yuan was truly not worth the loss for Luo Chen.

The path of body refining 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 a successful realm and have polished all kinds of means to be extremely proficient before facing the enemy.

A night of bitter cultivation.

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

Such spirit, of course, was not because cultivation was very cool and not tiring at all.

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

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

Instead, he skipped four rooms and came to a spacious side hall.

*Clang! *

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

It was the 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 heard the sound.

The doors of the four rooms also opened.

Wang Yuan, Chu Kui, Xu Huanzhen, and the junior Zeng Yilong all appeared.

"Supreme Elder, are you going to refine pills?" Zeng Yilong stood by, curiously watching Luo Chen's movements.

Luo Chen smiled and nodded.

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

During this process, he checked the degree of pre-processing of the medicinal herbs.

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

Before refining pills, one must check the condition of the medicinal herbs.

Otherwise, even with the best alchemy technique, if the materials were not good, it would fail.

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

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

*Swoosh! *

A soft sound.

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

"Use this!"

Luo Chen said with a smile.

Zeng Yilong suddenly realized, it was actually the natal true fire!

"Is there anything I can help with?" 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."

Several people nodded and dispersed separately.

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

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

Luo Chen missed the alchemy room he had at Tianlan Peak.

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

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

I have to say, this is a very regrettable thing.

Fortunately, Luo Chen possessed the Withering-Glory Fire.

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

After everything was ready.

Luo Chen manipulated the Withering-Glory Fire while using 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 cultivation resources!

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

Two days later.

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

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

Before long, a brand-new Luo Chen walked out of the cave dwelling.

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

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

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

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

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

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

"The Core Formation cultivator exchange meeting held by the Falling Cloud Sect this time has invited quite a few peers!"

Luo Chen sighed and accelerated.

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

After handing the invitation to the Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Falling Cloud 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 toward him in unison.

With a thought, Luo Chen also released his spiritual sense.

After a slight contact, those spiritual senses were retracted, but some people also made light sounds of surprise during this process.

Following the sound of surprise, Luo Chen looked up.

It was an old acquaintance!

"Dan Chenzi, over here!"

Under the curious gazes, Luo Chen walked over.

"Fellow Daoist Fei, how have you been?"

A Core Formation elder of Ailao Mountain—Fei Ming.

Why wouldn't I 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 and praised: "Just now, when we first made contact, I didn't dare to be sure. Now I dare to be sure that you are only at the first tier of Core Formation, yet your spiritual sense strength can compete with me without falling behind at all; you are truly a formidable youngster!"

Luo Chen smiled and didn't speak.

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

Whether he was qualified to participate in this exchange meeting.

In that situation, the realm of the first tier of Core Formation played no role.

Therefore, Luo Chen released his spiritual sense with all his might, not hiding anything at all.

Only then did he gain everyone's recognition.

"Have you practiced any soul secret technique? How is your spiritual sense so powerful?"

Fei Ming was very curious.

But seeing Luo Chen not speaking for a long time, 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 Broken Moon Immortal City.

Twenty-seven sects jointly built Broken Moon Immortal City, led by the Falling Cloud Sect and Tianfan City, and Ailao Mountain also contributed a lot to this.

Luo Chen asked this, and it really scratched Fei Ming's itch, and for a while, they chatted happily.

And during this process, Core Formation 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 Huanzhu Tower is the Deputy Tower Master Xiaoxiangzi; his real name is unknown, and his face is also unknown. This sect is like this, rarely showing its true face, and many people even suspect that the killers of the Huanzhu Tower are existences in high positions in other sects."

Luo Chen was a bit surprised; could the Deputy Tower Master of the Huanzhu Tower be a high-level official of another sect?

Suddenly, he reacted.

Such a killer organization is actually not suitable for the sect inheritance system at all.

And if it were composed of strong people from various forces, it would make perfect sense.

Some strong people who are not good at the hundred arts of cultivation but are proficient in fighting join the Huanzhu Tower anonymously, which can both take tasks to earn resources and temper themselves.

It is a beautiful thing that kills two birds with one stone!

This can also explain why a killer organization that is only at the level of a major Core Formation sect can survive in the cultivation world.

"Two people came from the Mengquan Cave, the Sect Master Si Nan, and the Elder Yu Jiaolong. The latter should have been brought to see the world; she actually didn't form her Jin Dan a few years earlier than you."

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

Perhaps noticing someone's attention, Yu Jiaolong looked over subconsciously.

Seeing that it was Luo Chen, she couldn't help but frown.

"What a keen perception!"

Luo Chen sighed to himself, and then he also noticed that a gaze was watching him faintly.

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

"Why is Xiaoxiangzi staring at me?"

"What a keen perception!"

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

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

Often when observing someone, others would not notice.

This Luo Chen actually reacted instantly!

Such perception is either tempered between life and death, or the soul foundation is far better than his, or the foundation and aptitude are extremely excellent, similar to the existence of Yu Jiaolong's heavenly spiritual root.

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

"Cannot be treated as a newcomer to Core Formation!"

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 Core Formation cultivators here; except for testing those who just came in, everyone maintained courtesy and politeness, not using spiritual sense excessively.

Therefore, between exchanges, most were verbal narrations and eye contact.

Fei Ming continued to introduce the identities of the many fellow Daoists present today.

"That woman with a red mole between her eyebrows is the founding ancestor of the Baihong Sect, Chu Baihong; she looks very young, but she is actually almost five hundred years old. Her realm is a bit higher than mine, at the fifth tier of Core Formation, and her means of 'Qi Piercing White Rainbow' is extremely powerful; she once received the recognition of a strong person from 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 lived as a beggar in the mortal world when he was young, luckily stepped onto the path of immortality, and from then on, he couldn't be stopped. Now he is a strong existence at the eighth tier of Core Formation; in this coalition of eighteen major Core Formation sects, the Yulong Gang he leads is a very strong force."

"..."

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

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

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

"Oh, your old friend is here!"

Fei Ming stopped talking.

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

The Heartless Fairy!

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

Halfway through her walk.

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

Luo Chen became interested, "What is it?"

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

"Fei Ming!"

A cold voice rang out.

Fei Ming laughed and bowed, "Fellow Daoist Heartless, long time no see. I still remember the days when you and I joined forces to hunt down the thief Qin Tairan."

The Heartless Fairy snorted.

Her gaze fell on Luo Chen.

"You're here."

"Gu..."

"Hmm?"

"Fellow Daoist Heartless, how have you been?" Luo Chen smiled awkwardly; he was still shocked that the Heartless Fairy's real name was so ordinary, and almost blurted it out.

The Heartless Fairy twitched her mouth, "I'm doing very well, no need for you, this proud son of heaven, to worry."

Facing this sarcastic remark.

Luo Chen didn't react for a moment.

But thinking about his actions after seclusion, and the situation of the Ice Fortress, he could understand.

The current Ice Fortress, even if it couldn't be said to be precarious, could be called severely damaged.

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

It was inevitable that the Ice Fortress cultivators would have resentment.

Plus, although he still maintained the Jade Dew Pill business with the Ice Fortress, 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.

All these things led to the dissatisfaction in the woman's words.

But times have changed!

The Luo Tian Sect was no longer a vassal of the Ice Fortress, and he, Luo Chen, had also formed an alliance force with five Core Formation cultivators.

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

This dissatisfaction...

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

A small drink on the Heavenly Mountain?

Heartless frowned.

Entering the forbidden area of another sect alone is considered extremely trusting of the other side.

Luo Chen said this to show his position.

At the same time, he also wished himself to survive this unknown opening war.

The woman's brows gradually relaxed.

But she didn't say much, just stood quietly to the side.

Fei Ming, on the other hand, felt a bit regretful.

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

Although the reason for the Green Elixir Valley's withdrawal was not completely spread, the major Core Formation sects in the Jade Cauldron Domain were very clear about it.

The refining of the Infant Formation Pill failed, most of the senior alchemists of the Tai Dan Institute died, and Qing Danzi was about to sit down.

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

Luo Chen asked curiously: "What about the Hundred Flowers Palace? As far as I know, the three Core Formation masters of the Hundred Flowers Palace are quite active in Broken Moon Immortal City; why haven't I seen them today?"

Fei Ming looked at Luo Chen in surprise.

"Dan Chenzi, 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 established the Jade Cauldron Domain.

It was precisely because of this that even though the previous Jade Cauldron civil war was in full swing, the Hundred Flowers Palace still maintained a neutral attitude and sat firmly on Mount Tai.

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

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

In this way.

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

In this world, no Nascent Soul sect allows another sect to develop on its own territory under its own name.

Facing this question.

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

"Are they going to settle in the future Xiaoyue Mountain Range?" Luo Chen asked as a matter of course.

However, a spiritual sense transmission from the Heartless Fairy made him freeze.

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.

The Cloud Crane couple, the Hundred Flowers Palace, borrowing power to open up the Great Snow Mountain... even, the Ice Fortress would help!

After these pieces of information reached his ears.

Luo Chen was very surprised!

He remembered very clearly that when Cang Long Shangren crossed the tribulation, it was True Person Han Zhan of the Falling Cloud Sect who helped protect the Dao.

Logically speaking, if the Ice Fortress were to help, it should be helping the Falling Cloud Sect!

Luo Chen asked tentatively: "Isn't the Ice Fortress on good terms with that True Person from the Falling Cloud Sect? Why not focus their energy on opening up the Xiaoyue Mountain Range?"

The Heartless Fairy looked at him in surprise, "How did you know... never mind, you thought wrong about this."

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

She just said: "That True Person from the Falling Cloud Sect was only on good terms with my senior sister, and back then he even borrowed my Ice Fortress's Ice Prison to practice soul secret techniques, but after a certain event, the grievances were settled."

A certain event?

Thinking about it, it must be the matter of protecting the Dao.

"Next, my Ice Fortress will mainly help the Cloud Crane True Person's side; the main reason is also that the geographical environment of the Ice Fortress is quite special, so we have no choice."

Once she said this, Luo Chen quickly understood.

The Ice Fortress is located on the edge of the Jade Cauldron Domain, bordering the Great Snow Mountain.

It was already precarious!

Plus, Cang Long Shangren forcibly borrowed the territory of the White Bone Mysterious Snake to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

This caused 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 Ice Fortress has been exhausted in dealing with it.

If they could help the Cloud Crane couple conquer the Great Snow Mountain and turn it into human territory, then the crisis of the Ice Fortress could also be eased.

"Luo Chen, are you going to the Cloud Crane couple's side?"

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

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

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

It was a reason, but also an excuse.

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

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

Most spiritual lands will not have obvious bias in spiritual energy.

Between Tier 3 spiritual veins, there may be a gap in spiritual energy concentration, but in terms of spiritual energy attribute distribution, it is still very balanced.

The Heartless Fairy accepted this reason.

She was just telling Luo Chen so that they wouldn't miscalculate each other's strength on the battlefield later.

During the conversation between the three.

At the palace gate, escape lights appeared.

A pair of beautiful figures appeared before everyone.

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

They 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 them, right!"

Luo Chen replied: "I know one, the 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 went up to socialize and chat.

It is hard to say how the combat power of the female cultivators from the Hehuan Sect is, but in terms of socializing, they are definitely second to none.

After a few sentences, they were chatting quite happily.

During this process, the Fragrance Master's gaze shifted, and from time to time, she would cast her gaze on Luo Chen and the others.

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

It was clear.

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

Sure enough.

Following the heels of the Fragrance Master and her companion, one person flew in gracefully.

As soon as he landed, a series of exclamations erupted in the hall.

Many people surrounded him.

Including the group of people who had previously surrounded the Hundred Flowers Fairy and the Fragrance Master!

The reason for this situation was very simple.

The person who came was named Meng Changshou, a Core Formation elder of the Medicine King Sect, a famous Tier 3 Alchemy Master!

"Master Meng, long time no see, your style is even better than before!"

"You are Zhou Feng, right!"

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

"Yu Jiaolong has met Master Meng!"

"Hmm, the little girl has good aptitude and 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 last met in the secret realm, right!"

"Fellow Daoist Chu, how have you been!"

Amidst a chorus of greetings.

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

This is the truly famous Alchemy Master who has achieved success in alchemy!

As soon as 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 him, they seemed to count for nothing at all.

By comparison, he, the "Alchemy Master" praised for his bright future, was relatively famous in name only.

Everyone only valued his potential.

After all, everyone knew that he had only formed his Jin Dan not long ago, and whether he could refine Tier 3 pills was still a question.

Of course!

Luo Chen didn't belittle himself.

He knew very well that the reason Meng Changshou could make so many people take the initiative to curry favor was also because he was backed by the major alchemy 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 is very difficult.

Just entering as a Tier 1 alchemist would consume an unknown amount of resources.

Ordinary sects could still afford this consumption.

Even Tier 2 alchemists were still within the range of gritting their teeth.

But Tier 3 alchemists...

Let's put it this way: when Luo Chen refines Tier 3 Starry Pills, the cost of one set of raw materials is two thousand spirit stones!

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

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

And such Starry Pills actually only sell for four or five thousand spirit stones.

If an ordinary major Core Formation 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's not certain that they could really succeed in entering the field!

And even if they succeeded, it's not certain that 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 Jade Cauldron Domain as an example.

The Tier 3 alchemists who can be named are actually Mu Yunyan of the Falling Cloud Sect, Qing Danzi of the Green Elixir Valley, True Person Chi Ding, and True Person Xing Yun.

The up-and-coming Qing Yunzi and Dan Yangzi, who are said to be Tier 3 alchemists, actually haven't heard of them successfully refining Tier 3 pills to date.

Besides that, there is another Tier 3 alchemist inside the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.

And that's it!

The Ice Fortress used to have one, named Shang Hu, but unfortunately, he was killed by his Daoist partner, the Heartless Fairy, for the sake of righteousness.

The deceased Yan Alliance 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.

Counting it this way, the once vast Jade Cauldron Domain actually only had five Tier 3 alchemists.

These five people alone could not satisfy the pill needs of the Core Formation cultivators in the domain.

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

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

"If I sell Starry Pills today, can I also achieve such..."

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

How could his own strength compare to the strength of the Medicine King Sect?

Even if he showed his ability to refine Tier 3 cultivation pills today, he would at most make a batch of connections, and could not achieve the status of Meng Changshou.

"Let's go, let's go join the fun!"

His sleeve was pulled by Fei Ming.

Luo Chen didn't refuse.

He was never a self-righteous person; joining in now, although there was a suspicion of currying favor, everyone did it, 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.

No one would be so ignorant of the occasion as to pull Meng Changshou to chat endlessly; most were just saying hello and leaving space for others.

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

"Fellow Daoist Meng, long time no see. I have missed you dearly!"

Meng Changshou was a white-haired old man, spirited and ruddy-faced.

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 familiarity 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 alchemy room?"

Meng Changshou laughed: "As expected of you, you guessed it right away. I plan to stay in Broken Moon Immortal City 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 brightness of that smile showed everyone how proud he was at this moment.

Being looked at differently by Meng Changshou among a crowd of Core Formation cultivators.

It truly made him very proud.

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

"This young talent?"

Fei Ming stepped aside and introduced him personally: "The number one Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Jade Cauldron Domain, the founding ancestor of the Luo Tian Sect, the leader of the Luo Tian Alliance, Dan Chenzi!"

Meng Changshou's eyes lit up.

Luo Chen bowed formally.

"Luo Chen."

"I have met Fellow Daoist Meng."

*Slap! *

While Luo Chen was stunned, Meng Changshou grabbed his arm.

This action made the others stunned as well.

Some quick-witted ones 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, as Meng Changshou's next words let them know why the other party had such an abrupt action.

The old man asked excitedly: "You are Dan Chenzi, the rogue alchemist who participated in the Green Elixir Valley's refining of the Tier 4 Infant Formation Pill?"

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

So it was for this!

He said modestly: "I participated, but I was not the leader, and it ultimately failed regrettably."

"Failure doesn't matter!" Meng Changshou waved his hand, "Everyone has times of failure, not to mention the Infant Formation 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 Infant Formation Pill back then. I only regret that I was tied up with sect chores 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 refining Tier 4 pills across tiers.

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

Luo Chen had actually seen this situation many times.

For example, he talked about body refining with Wang Yuan, asked Min Longyu for advice on formations... just now, he chatted with Fei Ming about building Broken Moon Immortal City, and Fei Ming was also very interested.

It's just that this Meng Changshou expressed it more openly.

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

Whatever emotion he had, he expressed it.

"If I chat with him more at this time, not only can I improve 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 fellow Daoists today, why don't we make an appointment to chat in detail another day?"

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 approval arose in his heart.

This young man is quite sensible, not climbing up the pole just now.

"Okay!"

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

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

With this, new Core Formation cultivators greeted him, and when they passed by, they cast a grateful look at Luo Chen.

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

Valued by the Green Elixir Valley and invited to refine the Infant Formation Pill!

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

Plus his own various deeds before.

This Luo Chen, as long as he doesn't fall, will definitely be a big 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 is often not as fast as others acting.

I don't know when, but there were already a few more Core Formation cultivators in the hall, all of whom were representatives of other Nascent Soul sects.

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

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

No one knew what they were talking about.

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

From time to time, the two would gesture with their hands and pinch some spiritual techniques.

Were they discussing spells?

Yes!

The Five Elements Divine Sect is proficient in the research and development of various strange techniques.

Luo Chen also has the Daoist name of Fire Spirit Lord and is extremely proficient in fire-type spells.

When the two sides get together, the main topic must be about spells.

In 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 representatives of the Nascent Soul sects who appeared later, after someone discovered them, also took the initiative to go up and chat.

After the appearance of the alchemy master Huyan Zhuo of Tianfan City, it caused another sensation.

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

Even more than Meng Changshou!

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

Alchemy Master!

Natal magic treasure!

This fun, Luo Chen was determined to join!

"Fellow Daoist Jin, chat next time?"

"No problem."

Jin Buque smiled and sent Luo Chen off.

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

He had been tracking and investigating information about Luo Chen.

"The ancestor has not awakened yet, stabilize the relationship with Luo Chen first."

"No rush, no rush!"

Luo Chen's steps were fast, but there was no rush on his face, still looking calm.

When passing a corner, his figure paused subconsciously.

He looked sideways.

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

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

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

Luo Chen's expression tightened; the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Jade Cauldron before him!

Lin Qingxuan spread his hands, "Step aside, chat?"

Luo Chen hesitated.

Lin Qingxuan followed his gaze toward Huyan Zhuo.

He smiled slightly, "No need to go, that Master Huyan Zhuo has a strange temper, especially annoyed by communicating with strangers. If you go up like this, you won't get any benefits, and you will easily breed disgust."

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

But thinking about it seriously, a master-level figure who is extremely fond of refining new magic weapons, having his name stolen by countless people to make profit, no one would have a good temper if they were him.

After some deliberation, he chose to believe Lin Qingxuan.

The two walked to a quiet place.

Contrary to Luo Chen's expectations, there was no sword-drawing tension between the two generations of number one Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Jade Cauldron.

The first sentence the other party said was:

"Thank you!"
