Chapter 528: Blood Food

Time is like water, years are like a shuttle.

Half a year later.

Fairy Yaoyue Island, surrounded by thirty-some large and small islands, welcomed a streak of escaping light.

After the escaping light circled in the sky for a moment, following the guidance of the token, it descended on Fairy Yaoyue Island.

Upon landing, the tall, slender figure couldn't help but glance at the stone tablet standing on the island, a look of longing appearing in her eyes.

But she knew deeply that this was not something she could covet, so she forcibly restrained her desires and stepped into the depths of the dense white mist.

As she stepped, the vast white mist around her seemed to have spirituality, automatically scattering, giving way to a one-meter-wide path for her.

After a moment.

Cheng Cheng Haixin arrived in front of a magnificent palace, with carved beams and painted rafters, flying eaves and arched arches, which could be called exquisite.

But looking closely, this palace still had quite a few rough spots.

No way, the time Luo Chen gave before was too tight, just one month; the cultivators of the Flying Swallow Archipelago couldn't play any tricks even if they wanted to please him.

Just for this palace, most of the materials were taken directly from ready-made materials on other islands.

"Fortunately, Demon Lord Senior Qingyang is magnanimous and doesn't care about these."

She muttered in her heart, lifted the hem of her skirt, and stepped into the palace.

As if knowing of her arrival, without waiting long, a figure entered Cheng Cheng Haixin's field of vision.

Cheng Cheng Haixin respectfully handed over two storage bags.

"Superior, this is the first batch of True Flame Elixir medicinal materials collected by each family for you; according to your standards, there are seventy-eight portions in total."

Luo Chen glanced at the other storage bag in her hand, then took the storage bag containing the medicinal materials.

Probing with spiritual sense, after a round of inspection, an expression of displeasure appeared on his face.

"In half a year, only seventy-eight portions were collected; you are a bit unmindful!"

The woman trembled in her heart and hurriedly defended: "I hope the Superior will forgive me. It is really because most of the materials you need are fire-attribute medicinal materials; relying on the output of nearby islands, it is impossible to satisfy. It was all thanks to my big brother integrating each family and forming a caravan to go to Fairy Feileng City, and after contacting many parties, that they were collected."

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, "Is it that troublesome? Our North Sea, isn't it famous for its rich resources?"

Cheng Cheng Haixin shook her head, "This is indeed true, the problem is that the Flying Swallow Archipelago is too remote; wanting to rush to the inner domain, one round trip takes decades. Just this Fairy Feileng City is already the closest large city of immortal islands to the Flying Swallow Archipelago."

The terrain is too remote?

Luo Chen's heart moved slightly.

If so, it is not incomprehensible.

It's like when he was at Dahe Square back then, although facing the Million Mountains with countless resources, if talking about high-grade resources, they were still scarce, far less convenient than those large domains deep in the inland.

Seeing Luo Chen's expression soften, Cheng Cheng Haixin breathed a sigh of relief.

She struck while the iron was hot and gave a piece of good news.

"The first few batches of medicinal materials might be slower and fewer, but as long as our Flying Swallow caravan gains a firm foothold in prosperous areas like Fairy Feileng City and Mohua Island, then collecting the True Flame Elixir medicinal materials needed by the Superior later will be much more convenient."

After forming a channel, the supply will naturally stabilize.

Luo Chen had also done business, so he naturally understood this principle.

Since that was the case, he no longer blamed the other party.

He scanned the medicinal materials in the storage bag and asked casually: "This Xuanguang Seed, how many spirit stones per piece?"

"Fifteen spirit stones per piece, but not sold individually; generally, they are sold in hundreds, unless the quantity is large, then there will be a fraction."

"What about Yan Flower?"

"This is a third-tier medicinal material, very expensive, one flower costs more than six hundred spirit stones. My big brother spent a lot of lips and tongue, promising many benefits, before cutting the price to just six hundred."

"How much does Purple Smoke Candle sell for?"

"One hundred and twenty low-grade spirit stones per box; although a bit expensive, it has been processed in advance."

The prices of medicinal materials were asked one by one from Luo Chen's mouth, and Cheng Cheng Haixin answered them one by one.

Luo Chen was using the prices of some general medicinal materials to understand the overall picture of the North Sea cultivation world from the side.

Prices often represent the level of development of a piece of land.

Of course, this is not absolute.

Prices will also be affected by many aspects, war, scarcity, the degree of regulation by powerful forces, etc.

But even so, Luo Chen could see the whole picture from a glimpse.

Just looking at it now, the cost of raw materials for one True Flame Elixir is about three thousand spirit stones.

This price is not low!

Also a third-tier elixir, the cost of Fanxing Elixir is only barely two thousand.

And if it were in the Yuding Domain, the spirit stones needed for Luo Chen to collect raw materials for one True Flame Elixir, he had estimated back then, were about two thousand three or four hundred.

Now the premium is a full six or seven hundred!

It can be seen that the North Sea cultivation world is either richer, or the situation is more tense, leading to price increases for various resources, or perhaps both!

While Luo Chen was analyzing these things from a small perspective.

Cheng Cheng Haixin also seized the opportunity to express the merits of their Cheng family.

Such as Cheng Dou personally integrating the major families of the Flying Swallow Archipelago before, establishing the Flying Swallow caravan, just to collect medicinal materials for Luo Chen.

Bargaining, begging, etc.

Oh, and it was also mentioned that among these seventy-eight portions of medicinal materials in the first batch, their Black Swan Island Cheng family alone accounted for ten portions!

Luo Chen naturally could understand the other party's thoughts.

That Cheng Dou put aside his cultivation in seclusion and instead did a bunch of actions, undoubtedly to please himself.

The purpose was to exchange for the Jin Dan formation secret technique on the stone tablet on Fairy Yaoyue Island.

This person's mind was complex; clearly eager to break through the realm before, but in front of the medium-method Jin Dan formation secret technique, he forcibly stabilized his mentality.

It can be seen that he is also a person with brains.

By the way, he also borrowed Luo Chen's name to borrow people and strength from the thirty-some families on the archipelago, setting up a so-called "Flying Swallow Caravan."

With such a caravan, who knows how much profit will be extracted in the future!

Even, even if Luo Chen is not here in the future, as long as Cheng Dou can manage the caravan well, other families will probably recognize him.

For all this, Luo Chen was not unaware, but he chose to turn a blind eye.

Let him mess around!

Anyway, as long as he doesn't miss the tribute to him.

The more prosperous it is, the greater the benefits he can get in the future.

Speaking of which, the cultivators of Flying Swallow, who were originally unconvinced by him, are now so actively running around for him, collecting medicinal materials, thanks to Luo Chen's clever move.

"Senior Qingyang Dan Canon"!

This medium-method Jin Dan formation secret technique is actually just a method he simplified from the "Micro-Dust Yuan Technique."

In this, he deleted the core of the "Locking Pearl Curtain" and the core of the "Qingyuan Wonderful Alchemy Method," but retained the essence of a series of Jin Dan formation secret techniques such as "Settling the Waves" and "Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation."

Where spiritual power transformation was involved, it was also slightly mentioned.

Only then did he get this Jin Dan formation secret technique at the "medium method" level in the system evaluation.

After understanding the cultivation environment of the Flying Swallow Archipelago, Luo Chen had a very clear understanding.

The foundation is very solid, and there are no people who take shortcuts.

If they can have this "Senior Qingyang Dan Canon," the probability of Jin Dan formation can be increased by two0 percent.

It is precisely because of this that those cultivators will perform so hard.

First establish power, then promise profit.

One hand with a big stick, one hand with a sweet date.

The cultivators naturally serve Luo Chen.

"Superior, this is a little bit of my heart, I hope the Superior will accept it."

Another storage bag was raised in front of Luo Chen.

Luo Chen became interested and took the storage bag.

"What's inside?"

Cheng Cheng Haixin said nervously: "When we first met, I saw that the Superior ate a few more mouthfuls of the local special dishes, and later heard the Superior asking about spirit meals containing rich blood energy, so I kept it in mind. Inside is a two-hundred-year-old Dragon-Tiger Spot; although the grade is not high, the meat is tender, and the blood energy is vigorous. It is also the blood food that those mortal martial artists on each island crave most. I heard that they eat this kind of blood food, even if it's just a small mouthful, there is a great probability of breaking through the innate realm and achieving the master level of martial artist."

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, and spiritual power beckoned.

Instantly!

In the hall, a fragrance that made one's index finger move came.

A large fish, three meters long and one meter wide, like a huge door panel, was placed on a specially made dining plate.

On top were various seasonings, soup, and steam rolling.

One look and it was known that it had just been cooked not long ago, and had just been put into the storage bag and brought over.

Without much hesitation, after a simple inspection, Luo Chen took out a small knife, cut off a piece of fish meat, and put it into his mouth.

How the taste was, how the flavor was, he didn't care.

With one operation of "Ten Thousand Daos Converging," that mouthful of fish meat immediately melted and decomposed, turning into strands of blood energy and integrating into his physique.

The quantity was not much, but the fish was big!

This Dragon-Tiger Spot was indeed good.

If taken for a long time, it would inevitably be beneficial to Luo Chen's body-refining realm.

He revealed a satisfied expression and looked at Cheng Cheng Haixin.

"This fish, did you make it?"

Cheng Cheng Haixin was about to answer yes, but then twisted her body and still honestly said: "I am not very proficient in cooking, this was made by an old senior on another island, but this fish was personally carefully selected by me from the Cheng family's catch. If the Superior is satisfied..."

"You did very well, every month later, prepare enough share of spirit meals... oh no, according to your saying here, blood food!"

Luo Chen pointed to the steaming Dragon-Tiger Spot, "Prepare at least ten portions of such blood food for me every month."

Cheng Cheng Haixin was originally full of joy, after all, she had been praised by Demon Lord Senior Qingyang.

But upon hearing, ten portions a month!

Her exquisite little face was suddenly full of sorrow.

"Superior, this quality of Dragon-Tiger Spot is very difficult to catch, it has to go to the deep sea. But if the hunting boat goes so far, the degree of danger will also greatly increase."

Luo Chen said indifferently: "It's not just Dragon-Tiger Spot. Other blood food containing rich blood energy is also fine, the point is the cooking skill to make this kind of blood food! When you have time, bring that old senior over, I will chat with him. Of course, I will count this credit on you."

Cheng Cheng Haixin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing Luo Chen in a good mood, she summoned her courage and asked carefully: "Superior, I don't know how much contribution we need to accumulate to exchange for that 'Senior Qingyang Dan Canon' once?"

Luo Chen stopped eating and looked at the woman.

Under Luo Chen's gaze, the courage the woman had finally summoned instantly receded, and her snow-white neck like a swan also subconsciously lowered.

"It is I who overstepped."

When she was disappointed and terrified, a voice entered her ears.

"When the True Flame Elixir is collected to six thousand portions, your Cheng family can send one person to accept the 'Senior Qingyang Dan Canon' initiation once under the stone tablet."

"After the Cheng family, then it will be other families. However, the contribution needed at that time will be calculated separately."

Cheng Cheng Haixin suddenly looked up, full of surprise.

One portion of True Flame Elixir raw materials is three thousand spirit stones, six thousand portions is about eighteen million, and spread over thirty-some families, it is about fifty-some thousand low-grade spirit stones.

In other words, Luo Chen almost equaled to marking the price!

Of course, ordinary small families definitely couldn't bring out so many spirit stones.

But her Cheng family couldn't be considered a small family.

Small families couldn't afford large hunting boats either!

Besides, what Demon Lord Senior Qingyang wanted was not spirit stones, but medicinal materials in hand.

Even so, there was finally hope!

"Big brother, there is hope for Jin Dan formation!"

The woman was full of joy, bid farewell to Luo Chen, and went straight to Black Swan Island.

Looking at the back of the woman leaving happily, Luo Chen curled his lips imperceptibly.

Family cultivators are just like this.

Supported by family resources, but also sacrificed for the family at all times.

This Cheng Cheng Haixin, who was extremely reluctant to be sent to his bed by her big brother Cheng Dou before, is now still trying hard to strive for a Jin Dan for the Cheng family.

Ties are too deep, not free!

Luo Chen shook his head and didn't think about these things anymore; anyway, he didn't intend to manage this Flying Swallow Archipelago like the Luo Tian Sect.

Eating the cooked Dragon-Tiger Spot in large mouthfuls.

The huge first-tier monster beast disappeared into his stomach piece by piece, but he didn't see his stomach bulge even a little bit.

This scene was as if Luo Chen was the monster beast with infinite space in his stomach.

After the blood food entered his body, Luo Chen operated "Ten Thousand Daos Converging."

The Withered-Prosperous True Fire instantly activated, quickly refining the fish meat he had just eaten, turning it into strands of blood energy and integrating it into his physique.

Feeling the growth of his physique, Luo Chen revealed a satisfied expression.

He didn't care about the ingredients of the blood food, the exquisiteness, etc., he only required this kind of blood food to have rich blood energy; anyway, with "Ten Thousand Daos Converging," he could fully refine and absorb it all.

"Today's Dragon-Tiger Spot is an unexpected joy."

Luo Chen smiled, and then walked slowly into a side hall.

Rows of wooden shelves had already been placed neatly.

Luo Chen took out many medicinal materials from the storage bag and placed them on them one by one.

"Next, process these raw materials, and then refine the True Flame Elixir as soon as possible, and under my already super-fast cultivation speed, accelerate again!"

While talking to himself, an excited expression appeared on the man's face.

The grade of the spiritual vein on Fairy Yaoyue Island is not high, just third-tier low-grade.

It is only slightly better than the man-made third-tier spiritual vein in Mount Tianlan Immortal City.

But even so, Luo Chen's cultivation speed was fast beyond measure!

The "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture" gave him a cultivation speed comparable to a Heavenly Spirit Root.

According to his estimation, even if it was just a third-tier low-grade spiritual vein, it would take at most ten years to cultivate to the fourth level of Jin Dan.

If there was True Flame Elixir assistance, this time could be completely shortened to within ten years.

By then, the realm of mid-stage Jin Dan, combined with his means, as long as he didn't provoke Nascent Soul cultivators, would be enough to roam the Demon Sea.

As far as the present is concerned, he still has to develop low-key for a wave!

Luo Chen can endure loneliness, just a few years.

Opening his mouth and spitting, the Hunyuan Tripod flew out and landed in the alchemy room.

The previously round tripod body had now visibly shrunk by three points, which was the result of Luo Chen's half-year refining work.

If it continues according to this trend, in the near future, Luo Chen will be able to completely quench the impurities within and possess a high-grade magic treasure that lives up to its name!

"Everything comes slowly!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly and familiarly took a portion of medicinal materials.

Just like back then, he did the most basic medicinal material processing work, and there was no impatience on his face, but rather more focus.
