Chapter 563

With the help of the intermediary Shanshan Chubao, Yu Gao obtained five bottles of top-grade Emperor Flowing Plasma and twenty high-grade spirit stones from Luo Chen.

Yes, high-grade spirit stones were used for delivery.

Luo Chen wanted to pay with low-grade spirit stones, but twenty thousand was too large a quantity, and an ordinary storage bag couldn't hold it at all.

Even though Jin Dan True Persons have the ability to purchase storage bags with larger space, so many low-grade spirit stones are too cumbersome.

This also made Luo Chen realize that after the realm is high, the currency of transaction is also quietly changing.

Yu Gao himself was very satisfied with this transaction.

For him, a method of refining defensive magic treasures, and not one developed within the sect, was not that important.

And, it was also very difficult to actually refine the defensive magic treasure inside.

At least, he entrusted the elders in the sect to spend a lot of materials, and only succeeded once.

Using a not-so-important refining method to exchange for Emperor Flowing Plasma, but it had great use for himself.

"My spirit beast originally had the bloodline of an ancient desolate beast, but after many years, it has been unable to dig out the bloodline inheritance."

"With the help of this elixir, perhaps it can help it."

Desolate beasts of the fifth rank are like human Nascent Soul great powers, having already understood part of the laws of heaven and earth.

This led to their offspring's bloodline being more or less affinity to that aspect.

If supernatural powers are derived, they can be hidden in the bloodline, blessing future generations.

But after the ancient human-demon war, the demon clan began to take the path of transformation, although the cultivation speed accelerated a lot, the original path was abandoned, so that digging out their own bloodline went wrong.

It became more and more difficult!

Ordinary low-rank demon beasts find it very difficult to naturally awaken the inheritance hidden in their own bloodline.

This Emperor Flowing Plasma, I don't know which alchemy master developed this elixir, actually has such a magical effect?

Compared to Yu Gao's satisfaction, Luo Chen's mood was also very good.

After taking the iron slip from Shanshan Chubao, he waved his hand to remove the simple mark left by the original owner, and his spiritual sense probed into it.

Sure enough, it recorded a complete method of refining protective armor.

Luo Chen scanned the specific content roughly, and knew that this method was extraordinary.

Once refining is successful, it can be divided into two layers of defense, inside and outside.

One is energy armor to protect against energy attacks, and the other is real armor to resist physical attacks.

At the moment, it was not an occasion for careful study, so Luo Chen put away the iron slip and continued to pay attention to the progress of this gathering.

The first link was barter, which was relatively slow and cumbersome.

It was mainly some scarce resources, the value of which was not easy to judge, and it varied from person to person.

Therefore, it took a lot of time when negotiating with each other.

After collecting the method of refining defensive magic treasures, Luo Chen didn't make many moves.

But he didn't make moves, yet some people privately asked him from time to time if he had any more top-grade Emperor Flowing Plasma.

Luo Chen used the excuse that he only had those five bottles of stock to fob them off.

After experiencing the exchange with True Person Fu.

His idea had changed.

He didn't intend to sell the elixirs he refined on a large scale to show off his identity as an alchemy master, avoiding attracting the attention of Blood Nightmare Demon Luo.

However, although he thought so, some people were still suspicious.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, are you an alchemy master?"

Looking at the visitor, Luo Chen felt a bump in his heart, but his expression didn't show it.

"Fellow Daoist Wu overpraised me. After forming my core, although I have been involved in alchemy like most people, hoping to become a noble alchemist. But my talent is limited, and after spending a lot of energy, I can only refine some low-grade elixirs."

After a cultivator forms a core, their lifespan soars, and in the absence of accidents, most can live for four or five hundred years.

With such abundant time, besides cultivation, most will try to study one or two skills.

Alchemy is often the first choice!

However, the vast majority of people cannot get started, and even if they rely on abundant resources to force their way in, being able to refine first-rank, second-rank, or even third-rank elixirs is of no avail.

The specific reason lies in the fact that being able to refine is one thing, but ensuring the success rate and the finished product rate is another matter.

Normal low-grade elixirs of various grades, when taken out to sell, are all losing money, and no money can be earned at all.

Only by ensuring a strong success rate can the cost of raw materials not be lost.

If you want to earn big, you have to be mid-grade or even top-grade elixirs!

Therefore, this is why there are many high-level cultivators in the cultivation world, but not many high-level alchemists.

Wu Qi's face was suspicious.

He had observed secretly before, and there was indeed no such rich alchemy aura residue on this rogue cultivator named Luo Hai.

This did not match Demon Lord Senior Qingyang.

But the sudden appearance of an elixir that had never been heard of made him unable to help but fantasize in that direction.

Luo Chen said apologetically: "If Fellow Daoist Wu also wants Emperor Flowing Plasma, then I'm sorry. Those Emperor Flowing Plasma were also obtained by me from an ancient cultivator ruin, the quantity was not large to begin with, and my own spirit beast used some, so only the few bottles traded to Fellow Daoist Yu Gao were left."

"Spirit beast?" Wu Qi's eyes lit up, and he asked subconsciously: "I don't know what the fellow Daoist's spirit beast is..."

Luo Chen's face sank.

Wu Qi reacted immediately, "Sorry, I was abrupt."

A cultivator's spirit beast, like being good at magic treasures and cultivation methods, can be counted as a trump card, how can it be easily told.

He was indeed abrupt.

While the two were communicating, the first link finally came to an end.

Shanshan Chubao walked to the middle of the hall and clapped his hands.

"Next, let's talk about the auction a few days later!"

What's there to talk about at that auction?

Luo Chen was curious in his heart.

Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Wu Qi perhaps to make up for the previous abruptness, whispered an explanation for him.

It turned out that this auction involved many large and small forces.

And the main participants were True Person Fairy Feileng, the Ancestor Tianyuan Merchant Alliance, the Demon Luo Stream, the Penglai Immortal Sect, and the Li Canghai Alliance.

The resources to be auctioned were also mostly provided by them.

It is conceivable that the resources taken out by these large forces, even if they don't need them much, the quality is absolutely not bad. Once placed at the auction, people fight for them, and the price is very easy to rise.

What Shanshan Chubao is doing now is to act as an intermediary, connecting a part of the people in advance, and making a rough plan for the ownership of certain auction items, so as to avoid their own people fighting each other at that time and hurting harmony.

The chat atmosphere in the room had been opened by Shanshan Chubao, so people spoke up from time to time.

"That Lingting Stone taken out by True Person Fairy Feileng, I, Chu, am determined to get it, and I hope fellow Daoists will give me some face when the time comes."

"Sorry, I recently want to refine a Dinghai Plate, and that Lingting Stone is also of great use to me."

The Dinghai Plate is a common magic tool in the North Sea.

For non-water-attribute cultivators, fighting against water-attribute cultivators on the sea often suffers from geographical disadvantages.

And the Dinghai Plate can calm the wind and waves, block water vapor, and erase the geographical gap.

Not only that, if this kind of magic treasure is placed on an island, combined with corresponding arrays, it can also create a small-scale environment of calm winds and waves, and favorable weather.

If families and sects obtain it, they can use it to build a living environment.

Whether it is cultivation or breeding some kind of seafood, it is of great benefit.

Dinghai Plates are common, but good Dinghai Plates are not common.

Inferior ones are only at the magic tool level, but excellent ones can reach the magic treasure level.

The one who said that was clearly a fire-attribute Jin Dan cultivator like Luo Chen, who suffered quite a bit when fighting on the sea, so he urgently needed a Dinghai Plate at the magic treasure level.

Looking at the dispute between the two, Luo Chen thought to himself.

At a low realm, the restraint of the five elements attribute on the battle between cultivators is not so obvious, because the realm is low, and the means used by cultivators mostly rely on external objects.

But when the realm is high, to the level of Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation, they can already use the general trend of heaven and earth, and even the power of laws.

These Jin Dan cultivators of theirs, although they cannot reach that level, can also use geographical advantages to fight.

Therefore, the way of birth and restraint increasingly affects the battle and cultivation of cultivators.

"Should I also take the time to get a Dinghai Plate?"

Thinking about it, Luo Chen secretly dismissed this idea in his heart.

His fire-attribute magic power was obtained through the cultivation and conversion of the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture", and its quality was domineering and unparalleled.

Ordinary geographical advantages, some water-fire restraint, simply couldn't affect him.

Rather than spending spirit stones on these places, it's better to study other means.

The dispute between the two cultivators in the room had gradually come to an end under Shanshan Chubao's mediation.

That Jin Dan cultivator surnamed Chu finally persuaded the other party.

The Lingting Stone was of great use to his cultivation, and he had to have it.

And the Dinghai Plate didn't necessarily need the Lingting Stone; after the cultivator surnamed Chu promised to replace it with another material, the two reached a consensus, and the latter decided not to compete with him at the auction.

Of course, if other forces at the auction want to compete strongly, the cultivator surnamed Chu can only rely on himself.

The dispute regarding the Lingting Stone ended here.

Next, people constantly spoke up to inform them of the resources they wanted, to avoid other cultivators in the room grabbing them.

"I must have the Tongmai Grass; I have a direct descendant whose meridians are blocked from birth, and I need Tongmai Grass to refine related elixirs. Although this item is of the third rank, it is of no use to fellow Jin Dan Daoists, so I think no one should grab it with me when the time comes!"

"That piece of Nine-Yang Geng Gold is already in my pocket, I hope no one will interfere when the time comes."

"Fellow Daoist, this is different; the Nine-Yang Geng Gold is the top grade among Geng Gold, and adding a sufficient amount to the flying sword magic treasure of gold and fire attributes makes it sharp and unparalleled. I, too, am determined to get it!"

"Hehe, do you really want to compete with me?"

"Let's rely on our own means!"

"I don't know if any fellow Daoists in the room are interested in that Coral Glazed Umbrella?"

"Fellow Daoist Yueluo, do you want it?"

"It's not that I want it, but that Coral Glazed Umbrella is a relic of a good friend, which was obtained by someone killing and seizing the treasure back then. Now, after tossing and turning, it appeared at the auction, and I want to buy it back and send it back to the friend's family."

"Since Fellow Daoist Yueluo wants it, then I, Xu, will not compete with you when the time comes, it's just a low-grade magic treasure after all."

"Thanks!"

Luo Chen watched this scene, combined with what Wu Qi said, and had already understood the role of this link.

It is nothing more than private connection, avoiding unscrupulous grabbing at that time, and hurting harmony.

Looking at it this way, the alliance between the Demon Luo Stream and the Penglai Immortal Sect is already a nail in the board, and they have already started to avoid contradictions from the details.

He was also curious about another question, "Some resources are provided by our three families, why not digest them internally, where do they need to be placed at the auction?"

Regarding this, Wu Qi transmitted: "This grand event was promoted by True Person Fairy Feileng with all her strength. If it were digested internally, her share of the profit would not be made up by anyone."

The Fairy Feileng City auction was organized by True Person Fairy Feileng?

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows.

Associating with the neutral status of Fairy Feileng City for many years, he was slightly enlightened again.

But in his heart, he felt it was funny.

Both wanting to satisfy True Person Fairy Feileng's commission profit, and privately connecting to lower the bidding price, this is not equal to reducing her share of the revenue.

Such a contradiction is truly ridiculous.

However, after the third cultivator exchange link arrived, Luo Chen understood the reason for that contradiction.

The third link is the common cultivator exchange.

Either raise doubts in the process of cultivation and ask others for advice, or share each other's knowledge.

The rise and fall of major forces between the North Sea immortal islands, where strong figures have appeared, which ancient forces have been destroyed.

Even the movements between major demon clans in the demon sea are all recounted from the mouths of these knowledgeable Jin Dan cultivators.

In this process, Luo Chen even learned some situation of True Person Fairy Feileng from Yu Gao's casual words.

It turns out that this woman is from the Penglai Immortal Sect!

I don't know why, she betrayed the Penglai Immortal Sect and was involved with a Nascent Soul elder of the Yuan Demon Sect, and the relationship was unclear.

Relying on the Yuan Demon Sect elder, she obtained this cultivation land of Fairy Feileng City.

This Fairy Feileng City auction was also promoted by her guarantee, plus the secret efforts of the Ancestor Tianyuan Merchant Alliance.

Penglai Immortal Sect, Yuan Demon Sect, Demon Luo Stream...

Luo Chen understood the origin of that contradiction.

The two sides cooperated and allied this time, clearly there was more than one intermediary, and True Person Fairy Feileng was also one of them.

Therefore, her share of the revenue must be given.

But compared to the two behemoths, even if Fairy Feileng is a Nascent Soul True Person, she is truly humble.

Therefore, give some benefits, but don't give too much.

After understanding this point, Luo Chen couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Things in the world, twists and turns, even if a Nascent Soul True Person is in it, they are involuntary!

As for more inside information, Luo Chen couldn't find out.

Because this gathering between Jin Dan cultivators was nearing its end.

After the meeting, Luo Chen didn't have to gather privately like others.

There were not many people he was familiar with here, and talking deeply when meeting for the first time was not his character, so he left early.

In front of a window on the seventh floor of the Ancestor Tianyuan Building.

Wu Qi looked at Luo Chen's back as he left, and the strange feeling in his heart finally gradually dissipated.

Beside him, the old man with the hooked nose asked: "You are very concerned about him? Do you know him?"

"Before, I just thought he was an old friend, but looking at his magic cloud escape light, it is completely different, so I must have recognized the wrong person." Wu Qi shook his head, then smiled: "If you say you don't know him, don't you know him now?"

Eagle Demon curled his lips, "You don't practice well, but you are keen on socializing, what is the use for the Great Dao?"

Wu Qi was calm, "Knowing one more friend is one more path. You don't know, the people under the Blood Nightmare stream master are mostly old people of the Yuan Demon Sect, and naturally they are not on the same path as me. Especially after they joined the Demon Luo Stream, they all went into seclusion and never showed their faces outside. When I encounter some things, I either have to make a move myself or ask for your help. In the long run, I will have an accident sooner or later."

Hearing this, Eagle Demon also showed a look of doubt.

"This seat also doesn't understand, the orthodox Demon Sect disciples, aren't most of them flamboyant? How come they are all so fond of bitter cultivation after arriving under the Blood Nightmare stream master, and never show their faces outside."

"Also, didn't a survivor of the Yuan Demon lineage come to defect to the Blood Nightmare stream master not long ago? What was his name?"

Wu Qi whispered: "He Yuan, fourth level of Jin Dan, his strength is really not weak."

"Right, his name is He Yuan." Eagle Demon nodded heavily, "That guy was very arrogant when he appeared, how come he hasn't been seen recently. Could it be, it's the Blood Nightmare stream master's side..."

"Eagle Demon, you think too much."

Wu Qi smiled, but that smile looked very reluctant.

He looked at the direction Luo Chen left again, then took a deep breath.

"Let's go, Yu Gao's side is still waiting for us, and I don't know how many Jin Dan cultivators the Penglai Immortal Sect sent this time, and which hidden old monster is leading the team."

After returning to the valley.

Luo Chen took out the refining method for the first time and studied it carefully.

Han Zhan appeared, scanned with spiritual sense, and asked: "Defensive magic treasure?"

"Mm." Luo Chen responded while studying.

Han Zhan didn't understand, "Why are you looking at it so carefully? You can just spend a lot of money to invite a famous casting master to refine it for you when the time comes."

Luo Chen raised his head and twitched the corners of his mouth: "Senior, after experiencing the Hunyuan Cauldron incident, do you think I still trust others to refine such life-related treasures?"

Han Zhan was stunned, then laughed dumbly.

So it was a case of once bitten, twice shy!

He teased: "The difficulty of refining physical defensive magic treasures is second only to soul defensive magic treasures. Compared to normal attack magic treasures, array discs, and puppets, it is much more difficult, and even famous refining masters dare not say they will definitely succeed. If you insist on going your own way, I'm afraid the outcome will be failure."

"Failure? I'm used to it."

Luo Chen smiled softly and lowered his head to study the iron slip again.

Han Zhan was slightly stunned, thinking of Luo Chen's calm appearance when he failed in alchemy in the past, he couldn't refute it for a while.

Being used to failure does not mean accepting failure.

Repeated failures prove that he is trying again and again, as long as the conditions allow, he will eventually usher in success one day.

It's just that Han Zhan was a bit puzzled.

Luo Chen is gifted in alchemy, array, and even magic arts.

He couldn't be gifted in casting as well, right?
