Chapter 591

Inside the Penghu Island palace.

The guests take their seats and talk happily.

The two Foundation Establishment juniors, led by Zhang Jiadi, go to play outside by themselves.

And in the hall, after some polite exchanges, they gradually enter the main topic.

"Qingyang Zi, I, Huo Fang, represent Wuzhong Valley in inviting you to join our sect; of course, if you are interested, the Chen family of Tianqu and the Zhou family of the Coral Sea can also be one of your choices," Huo Fang says solemnly.

The answer received, however, is a refusal without hesitation.

"Sorry, I have become accustomed to being free and loose and cannot bear the constraints of a sect; I accept your good intentions, Daoist friend Huo."

Huo Fang is not surprised by this answer; the Master of Moyun Cave refused him in the same way back then, but he still wants to make an effort.

"Won't you listen to the conditions we have offered you?"

Luo Chen smiles, "Let's forget it; what if your conditions are too good and I cannot help but be moved."

Huo Fang is dumbfounded; Wuzhong Valley has indeed prepared a considerable price, intending to use it to win over this artifact refining master who is good at refining defensive magic treasures.

The most basic of which is a third-order mid-grade cave dwelling, plus an annual salary of 500,000 spirit stones.

In addition, there are countless servants, and two to five concubines below the Jin Dan stage can also be arranged for him.

If Qingyang Zi has other requests, they can also discuss it on the basis of the bottom line.

Of course, such conditions naturally correspond to corresponding demands.

That is for Qingyang Zi to open an artifact refining hall in Wuzhong Valley, teach low-level disciples of Wuzhong Valley artifact refining techniques, and at the same time tailor-make defensive magic treasures for Jin Dan cultivators of Wuzhong Valley.

Now that Qingyang Zi does not even want to listen to the conditions, he really has no way to talk.

However, this is also a common style of rogue cultivators.

Huo Fang shakes his head and sighs, "It is a pity that I cannot be in the same sect as you, Daoist friend."

Luo Chen's face is warm, "Although we are not in the same sect, we are also people of the same path; in your spare time, Daoist friend, you are welcome to come to my Penghu to play."

Huo Fang laughs and puts forward an alternative plan.

"Let's cooperate!"

"How to cooperate?"

"For the magic tools and magic treasures you refine every year, the three parties of Wuzhong Valley want seventy percent, and the price will be based on the market price."

"City Lord Huo is joking; artifact refining is a matter of irregular time, and it is often accompanied by failure; how can I achieve stable annual output? Besides, long-term artifact refining has a great impact on Luo's cultivation; I cannot just care about small profits and delay the cultivation of the Great Dao."

Huo Fang frowns, his gaze falling on Luo Chen's face, which looks fiery red but is actually extremely young.

In various intelligence reports, it seems that the age of Qingyang Zi has never been mentioned.

They only thought that a master-level existence with such artifact refining skills must be an older generation cultivator of three or four hundred years old.

If it were such an existence, with no hope for Nascent Soul, they would naturally covet enjoyment and benefits.

Now it seems that he misjudged the other party's heart towards the Great Dao.

Thinking for a while, Huo Fang relaxed the conditions.

"Then let's not calculate by year, but by a period of ten years, how about that?"

Luo Chen raises his eyebrows, "That is quite loose; however, what benefits can I get? You must know that even if defensive magic treasures are not sold to you, there are plenty of people who want them, and I am never short of spirit stones to earn."

"This matter is simple!"

Huo Fang laughs, "You should be very annoyed by the Demon Hunting Division's five-year mandatory tasks, right?"

Luo Chen's expression is somewhat hesitant, and his gaze falls on the Fishing Old Man and Zi Hou.

The two nod slightly to him.

"What do you mean?" With his gaze shifting, Luo Chen looks at Huo Fang again.

Huo Fang nods, "Although our three families cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the Wanxian Society, we always have some connections. As long as you are willing to cooperate with us, we will naturally operate for you on the Demon Hunting Division side, allowing them to open the door of convenience for you. Of course, if you do not perform tasks, your demon hunter star rating will basically be stuck at four stars."

"Daoist friend Moyun, why don't you come and speak from experience!"

At Huo Fang's invitation, the Master of Moyun Cave coughs lightly.

"On this point, Qingyang Zi, you can rest assured. This old man has cooperated with them for nearly a hundred years, and apart from being conscripted during wartime, I have never gone out to perform tasks once. Even when the beast tide strikes, we can use the identity of logistics personnel to avoid the limelight of the front line."

After listening to his explanation, Luo Chen falls into deep thought.

It must be said that this condition is indeed very tempting.

Not to mention the danger of going out to perform tasks, just the most basic time consumption is very annoying.

If the three families of Wuzhong Valley can exempt him from these troublesome things, he will have more time to focus on cultivation.

It is very clear that they can really do this.

The presence of the Fishing Old Man and Zi Hou explains everything!

It just so happens that in order to refine the Demon Emperor's remains, he will have to refine a batch of defensive magic treasures next, so it is not impossible to trade them to them.

A matter that benefits both sides, why not do it?

Luo Chen does not hesitate for long and agrees on the spot.

But he also put forward a condition: in the short term, he will not accept the cooperation of customized magic treasures; whatever he refines, the three parties of Wuzhong Valley can only buy whatever he refines!

Huo Fang naturally will not refuse.

In the world of immortal cultivation, there are many magic treasures, but defensive magic treasures are scarce; no matter what attribute or style they are, he will get them first.

Even if it does not fit one person, their three parties of Wuzhong Valley have plenty of cultivators, and they can always find a compatible existence.

After discussing this matter, Huo Fang took advantage of the opening of the conversation and incidentally discussed some cooperation.

"I see that the Golden Dragon Carp of Penghu has quite good quality; why not leave half for us when they mature! As for the price, we will discuss it in detail then."

"This spiritual land, Qingyang Zi, you have not utilized it very well; I have some suggestions, if you have enough manpower here, you can listen to them."

"Speaking of manpower, the people you can use under your command are really too few. That Zhang family, with only a few core personnel, is far from being called an immortal cultivation family; why don't you let its head open branches and scatter leaves, prospering the population, so that they can better assist you."

"Today I brought two juniors from the Chen family and the Zhou family who have good looks and excellent character; they hit it off with Zhang Jiadi, and they might be able to form a good marriage, but I don't know what you think, Daoist friend?"

For the initial cooperation, Luo Chen listened with a smile.

But later on, it was not quite that taste.

Marriage?

Or planting people?

Wanting to help him develop Penghu? Or coveting this spiritual land?

Under Huo Fang's smiling gaze, Luo Chen says calmly, "Although the Zhang family is my vassal, they are not my servants after all; as for the specifics, let nature take its course!"

This is neither active nor refusing!

Huo Fang laughs, "It is so; let the juniors' affairs take their course!"

The conversation ends here.

Next, Luo Chen chatted with Zi Hou and the Fishing Old Man separately.

The former came to explain the matter of Huangfu Song's provocation back then, and Luo Chen smiled it off, indicating that he had long since not taken it to heart. After Zi Hou heard this, she naturally felt relieved and even said that she would organize a dinner party in the future to let Huangfu Song personally pour tea and apologize to Luo Chen.

As for whether this dinner party can be successful?

It is eight or nine out of ten that it will not be successful, but at least Zi Hou's attitude has been expressed.

The Fishing Old Man did not chat much here; Luo Chen only said that although his seclusion was interrupted, it would be restarted in a short time.

In other words, the Fishing Old Man will not be able to see him in the near future.

The other party was naturally very disappointed, but under the gaze of Huo Fang, Zi Hou, and others, he could not say his true thoughts.

Of course, even if he said it, those two would only disdain it.

Huo Fang has Wuzhong Valley behind him, and Zi Hou herself has the Nascent Soul legacy of the Great Zhou Dynasty back then, each mastering the method of Core Formation.

What they need to consider is not the method of Core Formation, but how to reach Jin Dan perfection and survive the heavenly tribulation.

Only a true rogue cultivator like the Fishing Old Man has not even found the path to Core Formation.

After chatting with the two, it was the Master of Moyun Cave's turn.

As soon as he came up, the other party impatiently asked about his artifact refining technique, how on earth he managed to make the formation and the magic treasure embryo perfectly compatible?

Luo Chen naturally could not tell the other party the core secret of the Hunyuan Cauldron.

He just talked around it, chatting about the artifact refining techniques of Mount Baizao and Lianfeng Hao for a while, and mentioning the East Desolate artifact refining method he accidentally learned for a while, and during this process, he would occasionally let the Master of Moyun Cave express his insights.

The other party has requests, so he naturally knows everything.

Luo Chen took the opportunity to learn some small artifact refining tricks from the Master of Moyun Cave.

Finally, he said seriously, "In fact, the formation is still that formation; whoever comes will follow the map and act according to the law. What is truly important is the magic treasure embryo itself. If you refine the embryo to perfection, it will naturally be compatible with the vast majority of formations."

A perfect magic treasure embryo?

The Master of Moyun Cave's brows furrowed into the shape of the character "chuan"; is it necessary to have excellent raw materials?

Recalling that Bright Yellow Rock Armor he had handled, its material did not seem to be very good?

How did this Qingyang Zi turn ordinary raw materials into something magical and refine them into a perfect magic treasure embryo?

While he was deep in thought, the sky was already dark.

Huo Fang puts down the teacup and rises leisurely.

"Disturbing your seclusion today is already a trouble; we will no longer bother you and leave now!"

Luo Chen accompanies him to rise, with an apologetic look on his face.

"Sorry, the time is indeed a bit tight, otherwise I would definitely have talked all night with several fellow Daoists and chatted about the cultivation of the Great Dao."

Huo Fang laughs and waves his hand.

"There will be plenty of time in the future, no rush, no rush! After you come out of seclusion, my Wuzhong Valley will always welcome your visit."

Luo Chen also smiles, "The Wuzhong Valley, which is known as the place where ten thousand demons do not return, I have indeed admired it for a long time. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely visit."

The two walk out side by side, with the others following behind.

When they reached the lake of Penghu, Luo Chen said goodbye one by one.

When it was the Master of Moyun Cave's turn, the other party seemed to wake up suddenly.

"Qingyang Zi, are you fooling me?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"A perfect magic treasure embryo is not easy; these things are refined by people like us, and there are flaws in themselves. It is not the treasure embryo born when the world was first opened in the immortal family legends; how can it be perfect!"

Luo Chen blinks, "At least, the direction I said is correct, right!"

Moyun is dumbfounded.

Luo Chen continues, "As for how to do it, that is each family's means; these are all secret techniques that are not passed on. It is just like your Moyun Thirteen Hands, which have not leaked out at all for so many years; you wouldn't think that I am so selfless and generous to tell you casually, right!"

After the Master of Moyun Cave heard this, his face turned red and white, seemingly somewhat angry from embarrassment, but he also knew deeply that Qingyang Zi's words were rough but not unreasonable.

It was him who was too reckless.

After a moment of adjustment.

His face returned to indifference, "It was indeed my extravagance."

Luo Chen smiles, "No matter, although the core secret techniques cannot be shared, our artifact refining styles are different; if we communicate more in the future, we can also progress together."

The Master of Moyun Cave nods and suddenly says, "It is not just this old man who wants to communicate with you."

"Are you talking about the Fishing Old Man?" Luo Chen does not care.

However, the Master of Moyun Cave waves his hand.

"Not him, but someone else. That one, you also know; I think before long, he will have time to get away and come to visit the island."

"I also know?" Luo Chen is puzzled, "Who?"

The Master of Moyun Cave smiles mysteriously and laughs it off.

"In the future, you will naturally know."

After speaking, he flew onto the large ship with big strides under the gaze of Huo Fang and others.

Luo Chen stands by the lake, unable to figure it out.

Finally, he can only shake his head and smile.

This Master of Moyun Cave, after being tricked by himself, left a suspense for him before leaving.

He is an interesting person.

But what kind of person is Luo Chen, and how could he be worried about such a trivial matter, just laughing it off.

Anyway, when someone comes to the door, he will know who it is when he sees them.

Luo Chen thought that "when the time comes" would be in a short time.

But what he did not expect was that several years had passed, and he did not see the person he knew that the Master of Moyun Cave mentioned.

On the contrary, in Penghu, earth-shaking changes have taken place.

The first thing is that Zhang Jiadi, the head of the Zhang family on Cailian Island, marries a woman from the Zhou family of the Coral Sea!

That day, the Penghu formation dissipated, and the wedding procession set off from Cailian Island and arrived at the Coral Sea area; all the way, the flying boats were like clouds, the colored ribbons were fluttering, and the joy filled the sky.

When they returned, sea beasts followed, and many rogue cultivators congratulated them one after another.

At the wedding, Qingyang Zi, who had not appeared for many years, appeared in person and presided over this wedding for Zhang Jiadi as a witness.

For this, he also specifically gifted the bride a Jade Ruyi magic treasure embryo, known as both offensive and defensive, and everything goes as one wishes.

The Zhou family woman is named Zhou Shanshan.

After marrying into the Zhang family, she gave birth to a son for Zhang Jiadi in the second year, so Zhang Jiadi's bloodline finally had a continuation.

Not only that, after Zhou Shanshan entered the Zhang family, she also brought new industries.

She planted a batch of Emerald Jade Lanshan in the eight-hundred-mile Penghu; this Emerald Jade Lanshan is a rare freshwater coral, and its grade is not high; even if it grows for a hundred years, it is only first-order.

But this thing can effectively improve water quality and automatically capture heaven and earth spiritual energy.

Under long-term planting, the spiritual energy environment of a water area can be greatly improved.

Not only that, water areas with Emerald Jade Lanshan can also farm other special aquatic products, and even spirit beasts in the sea can be transplanted here.

Because of this change, the Zhang family instantly added several more industries.

Zhou Shanshan's status as the mistress also became more and more stable!

By comparison, Wen Xiu and her daughter, who did not have much presence, became more and more marginalized.

This woman Wen Xiu does not even return to Cailian Island much, and most of the time she guards the Qingyang small shop in Longyuan City alone.

Regarding this, apart from saying "the change of people's hearts is just a change" in front of the puzzled Tianxuan, Luo Chen basically does not comment.

He ignores all these changes and only puts all his energy into magic treasure refining.

In this way, five years of time passed in a flash.

Inside the Star Dou Hall.

The white-robed Daoist sits cross-legged, only to hear a thunderclap explode in his body.

His whole body trembles, and the bones in his body shake with a crackling sound.

Suddenly, a long white Qi dragon is spat out from his mouth.

The Daoist slowly opens his eyes, and at that moment, it seems that white light electric arcs flash by.

In the clear divine light, there is more joy in Luo Chen's eyes.

"Jin Dan sixth layer, everything falls into place."

"Six sets of mysterious armor, all ready."

"Years of planning, everything is ready; next, it is time to formally refine the Demon Emperor's remains."

In the muttering sound, an ancient and simple turtle shell full of the vicissitudes of time floats leisurely in front of him.
