Wait, they are sold at Xianzhuju, and they will send someone over then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hired three little brothers from the Poshan Gang, one spirit stone each to help repair the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen also sent some of his family wealth to Qin Liangchen's house for safekeeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Temporarily, it was considered dealt with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, the sky gradually darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen cleaned up and accompanied Qin Liangchen to the Bell and Tripod family for the banquet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, Qin Liangchen said casually: \"In fire-series spells, there is a second-tier spell called Scorching Sun Technique, which, when unleashed, is like a small sun exploding, with great power, and within twenty zhang, not a blade of grass will grow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty zhang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be more than half a football field!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you talking about, Brother Qin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, I don't know any second-tier Scorching Sun Technique!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen waved his hands frantically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his heart, he had some clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of fusing twenty fireballs obviously couldn't reach the power of a second-tier Scorching Sun Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the situation at the time undoubtedly had the prototype of the Scorching Sun Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if he fused ten, twenty, or even thirty, fifty more?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in that case, the consumption of spiritual power would undoubtedly be very large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's use it as a trump card for now, I have to practice it well when I have time in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he felt heartache for losing nearly ten spirit stones today, Luo Chen was still very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside of his regular means, he had another trump card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they arrived at the third floor of the Bell and Tripod family, not many people had come yet, only a few small fry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Liangchen went to chat with those people, and no one cared about Luo Chen, so he was happy to be idle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding a quiet private room, Luo Chen kept half his mind alert to the outside and half his mind on the attribute panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, he hadn't finished browsing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of realm, the progress wasn't fast or slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grandmaster-level Changchun Gong not only greatly increased his cultivation efficiency, but also brought with it the opening of the twelve regular meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians, so that he could refine two Qi-Nourishing Pills a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because he had advanced to the fifth level of Qi Refining, the calculation of the cultivation progress bar had new changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the third level of Qi Refining, one Qi-Nourishing Pill added two points of progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the fourth level of Qi Refining, one Qi-Nourishing Pill added one point of progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the current fifth level of Qi Refining, it takes two Qi-Nourishing Pills to add one point of progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in half a month, with two Qi-Nourishing Pills every day, the progress bar only barely reached 16 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this, Luo Chen had expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, every time a realm is improved, it means the upper limit of spiritual power in the body becomes larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a normal phenomenon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does the breakthrough time for cultivators get longer and longer as they go further?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main problem lies here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The total amount of spiritual power required to fill a realm will only increase more and more, and it's not even a multiple change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original late-stage Qi Refining cultivators in Dahefang numbered in the hundreds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those at the perfection of Qi Refining were few and far between.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deceased Heart-Eating Tiger Han Dang was one of them, and Fu Xiuxiu, who had failed to impact Foundation Establishment, was one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others were few and far between.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing Luo Chen was worried about was whether Qi-Nourishing Pills would still be effective for him after the late stage of Qi Refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, elixirs have a saying about drug resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For now, let's not worry about this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen didn't worry about the future, and stared at the spell column.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze fell directly on the last column [Achievement Points: 21].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't expect that after the Fireball Technique reached Grand Perfection, it would also increase an achievement point for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If calculated this way, then upgrading a skill to Grand Perfection would yield five achievement points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Namely, Entry, Proficient, Perfect, Grandmaster, Grand Perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this half month, his harvest was huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind-Riding Technique Grandmaster, Traction Technique Grandmaster, Entanglement Technique, Spirit Eye Technique, and even the rarely used Cleaning Technique were upgraded one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this, it brought him seven achievement points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"21 achievement points, what should I use them for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Entry-level Healing Technique? Forget it, I can enter this after practicing for two more days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On hand, there are no other cultivation techniques.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And compared to cultivation techniques, using achievement points to enter a certain elixir recipe is the most cost-effective. That way, you can avoid countless failures before entry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless failures, what does that represent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless spirit stones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only elixir recipe Luo Chen had left on hand was a remnant second-tier elixir recipe, Jade Dew Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, it's not suitable for refining Jade Dew Pills now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without that financial strength, and without that strength, even if refined, he wouldn't dare to sell it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, I have to find a way to get a first-tier elixir recipe. And it has to be one with broad market prospects and few competitors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder if there are any in the Poshan Gang? In the Medicine Hall, are there any?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen pondered, looked up, and found that the sky outside was already completely dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And outside the small private room, there was a burst of noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He calmed his mood and walked out quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One glance, just one glance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One, two, three, four, five, six...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A full thirteen Foundation Establishment cultivators!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My god, when did such a small Dahefang have so many Foundation Establishment cultivators!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But apart from a small half, he knew the others slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chatting with Shopkeeper Liu of the Hundred Herbs Hall was Shopkeeper Wang of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wood Daoist, the master of the Spirit Source Pavilion, was surrounded by three Foundation Establishment cultivators he didn't know, seemingly exchanging insights on spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mi Shuhua of the Poshan Gang was chatting and laughing with Wang Haichao of the Dajiang Gang and another man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that one couldn't see any signs of them fighting to the death not long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That gloomy-faced man, if there were no accidents, should be Zhou Chaoxian, the person in charge of the Lianyun Merchant Alliance here, right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that he also held the position of Elder within the Merchant Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that profiteer Chu Lao from the Treasure Pavilion, he was whispering to a man in luxurious clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the man was obviously impatient, his eyes kept looking at the place where female cultivators gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't dare to offend the Treasure Pavilion, so he could only accompany the chat carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen looked at the gathering place of female cultivators, and coincidentally, he saw a group of acquaintances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bright and generous Gu Caiyi, the stunning Xiangxiang girl, the gentle and lovely Fu Xiuxiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that no matter how beautiful they were, the center of the gathering was still that beautiful woman in palace attire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should be the madam of the Heavenly Fragrance Building, bah, the Hehuan Sect cultivator Gong Huiqin. Looking so beautiful, I don't know how old she really is; this can also be considered a high-level rich woman!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that she was extremely sensitive to men's gazes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That beautiful woman almost instantly saw Luo Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen lowered his head in a hurry and huddled beside Qin Liangchen, who was standing in the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, there are all big shots here, what are we here for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice transmission was cautious, Luo Chen felt like a grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Liangchen chuckled, \"What for? To be a grandson!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen was stunned, so I really am a grandson!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When big shots go out, they have to bring two little brothers.\" Qin Liangchen patted him on the shoulder, \"Don't be discouraged, maybe we can be grandfathers in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's really \"Are kings and nobles born with high status?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen rolled his eyes, saying such things, not afraid of being heard by Foundation Establishment cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard that voice transmission techniques aren't very stable either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, standing in front of them were three Foundation Establishment cultivators: Mi Shuhua, Wang Haichao, and Zhou Chaoxian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last one turned his head suddenly, staring at Qin Liangchen with burning eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are the little guy who killed Bai Qi on the Dao Discussion Platform, right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Liangchen's expression became tense, and his gaze looked toward Mi Shuhua for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you...\" Mi Shuhua was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhou Chaoxian raising his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Chaoxian smiled slightly, \"It's nothing, just getting to know each other. This little Fellow Daoist Qin has a son who is a high disciple of the Luoyun Sect, so how could I do anything to him? On the contrary, Fellow Daoist Mi, I heard that you are keeping that Foundation Establishment Pill for him, don't swallow it quietly in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mi Shuhua's face stiffened, and then gradually became gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the atmosphere here was slightly oppressive, a burst of sharp intent came from the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, seven Foundation Establishment cultivators ascended the building together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuding Sword Cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven ascended the building without hesitation, bowed, and shouted to the outside together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Respectfully invite Elder Pang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was stunned, and then they all bowed their waists in a hurry, shouting respectfully: \"Respectfully invite Elder Pang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the night curtain, a golden light, without the slightest fancy, escaped into the third floor of the Bell and Tripod family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Jin Dan True Person, Pang Renxiong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen lowered his head deeply, not daring to look around with his peripheral vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under that Jin Dan pressure that wasn't covered at all, his teeth, bones, and even his soul seemed to be trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the power of Jin Dan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in his heart, a monstrous thought was surging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A real man should be like this!\" ===== CHAPTER 73 =====\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep within his heart, a surging tide of overwhelming thoughts was rushing forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A real man should be just like this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1770,"2026-06-12T10:35:51.239Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","f8c35017a6a1c19a8331ef2d2e23c929f6ff1e66d6465a4064e5ef5a8a6fd964","immortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-chapter-73","immortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-chapter-71",1090,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-cover.jpg"]
