Chapter 8: Do You Know Yun Zhonghe?

~10 min read 1,893 words

"Why did the Frost Wolf pack run to the periphery recently?"

"Really bad luck, it's a pity for the two Tier 1 beasts we hunted, we didn't even have time to cut them up and put them into the storage bag."

"Maybe it's the time for the wolf king competition in the Howling Moon Mountains again. It is said that there was one several hundred years ago, and many wolf packs ran to the periphery to avoid disaster."

"Forget it, forget it, let's go back to the market to rest first, we've been exhausted recently."

"Hmm, it's good that people are fine."

A few words, with anger and the luck of surviving a disaster.

Several cultivators walked from the plain towards the center of the market, and when they passed by Luo Chen's house, they paused.

Then, a crisp and straightforward female voice came over.

"Fellow Daoist, it's not peaceful here recently. If you have the ability, you should move to a place closer to the inner city area!"

Luo Chen didn't answer.

If he had the ability, he would have moved long ago.

Moreover, the place closer to the inner city area is not the inner city area, so how can it be considered safe?

Those rogue cultivators live a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife, and intercepting roads in the dark is too frequent.

He has seen bloodstains and bones on the road to the city more than once.

Although it is dangerous here, in fact, the market has arranged beast-proof belts in the plain area every year, and low-level beasts instinctively don't come in, and stronger Tier 2 beasts don't dare to approach human gathering areas.

Relatively speaking, he is still considered safe living here for now.

And he usually appears poor and destitute, earning a few spirit stones a month by working hard, and not many cultivators look down on him.

"Sima Hui Niang, why do you care about that kid?"

"Soaking in the stream and molding mud in broad daylight, it's estimated that he's a newcomer who just came to Dahe Market!"

"Go, go, go, let's go home."

Perhaps because they didn't hear a reply, the people outside muttered a few words and left together.

Listening to the departure of several people, Luo Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Compared to beasts, he is more afraid of human cultivators.

However, what Sima Hui Niang said makes sense. One time is one time, another time is another time. If there is really any movement in the Howling Moon Mountains, as the closest southwest area, it is really very dangerous.

"The mood has been adjusted almost, not loose or tight, let's officially start pill refining tomorrow!"

"This time, it must be successful!"

One day and one night of rest, whether it is the body or the mood, is in the best state.

At dawn, after operating the Everlasting Spring Art once, Luo Chen put on a gray apron and walked to the kitchen window.

A long-bearded mud figure holding a wooden knife stood there, with phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows, and some red painted on both cheeks.

"Guan Er Ye, bless me with success!"

Calm and composed, open the pot and add water, add firewood, start the fire with the Fireball Spell.

First boil the auxiliary materials, then stir-fry the mineral materials, add soup and boil, add fleeceflower root, jade yam, fire dog whip, etc. in turn.

After boiling for about three hours, add the last water-type spirit medicine, dried scallop, to adjust yin and yang.

During the process, the heat control is sometimes high, sometimes low.

After another two hours, open the pot!

A pot of pale red paste shrinks in the pot, and when poked with a new wooden spoon, it wobbles like jelly.

It's quite Q-elastic!

However, this is still a failure.

According to the records in the pill formula, the finished product should be deep red, so that the Myriad Wonders Pill can have the maximum aphrodisiac effect.

Although it failed, Luo Chen didn't have much annoyance.

It is clear that this finished product is already very close to success.

At least it solidified well and reached the Q-elastic texture.

For cultivators, if someone is not afraid of medicine poison, eating this whole pot can also have an effect.

Of course, the sequelae must be particularly large.

So Luo Chen doesn't plan to sell it, as it's easy to get beaten up.

Simply tasted a tiny bit, determined the gap in medicinal power, and recalled the process again, Luo Chen nodded, and then poured these medicine dregs on the other side of the small stream.

The night is still cultivation, sleep.

The next day, worship Guan Er Ye on time, and then refine pills.

Failed!

The third day, worship Guan Er Ye on time, and then refine pills.

Success!

Eh, right, success!

Luo Chen looked at the red pot of jelly, only feeling that the bitterness had passed and the sweetness had come, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but get wet.

"Failed eight sets of materials, approximately equal to a loss of forty spirit stones. If you deduct the forty bottles of Grain-Bigu Pills that should have been refined in these eight days, it is equivalent to a loss of another eight spirit stones."

"Woo woo, almost lost all my family wealth."

Luo Chen hurriedly took out all the medicine paste, ignoring the heat, cut the medicine paste into pieces with a bamboo knife, and kneaded them into round lumps with his hands.

Dry for one night, and it's a success!

There is still one set of materials left, and he can do it once tomorrow.

Waking up the next morning, Luo Chen couldn't wait to come to the cutting board for pill production in the kitchen.

Sure enough, those fifty round lumps had shrunk to the size of a longan.

What is dried is water vapor, and what is left is the essence.

Just one pill is enough to make a man take off!

Carefully putting the red little pills into the jade bottle, Luo Chen worshipped Guan Er Ye again.

"Second Master, you have a heart. Even if I transmigrated, you are blessing me. After I get rich, I will definitely build a temple for you and mold a golden body!"

After worshipping, while putting on his apron, Luo Chen clenched his fists fiercely.

"Sure enough, I am a pill refining genius, born to refine pills!"

"I will definitely be famous in the future. I have already thought of the nickname, Eastern Wasteland Pill God, the style is no worse than that Pill Saint of the Central Plains!"

After encouraging himself, Luo Chen became busy again.

In the smoky kitchen, a dry and happy atmosphere filled the room.

However, when the bright sunshine spilled in, what was reflected in his eyes was that expressionless face.

"Hehe, people make mistakes, horses stumble. The Pill Saint also exploded the furnace when refining Tier 1 pills when he was young."

"Next time it will definitely succeed, it will definitely succeed!"

Saying so, Luo Chen still felt his flesh ache.

This set of raw materials cost five spirit stones!

He lost a lot!

"No, this only bottle of Myriad Wonders Pill must be sold at a high price, otherwise the cost won't be recovered!"

The sky was bright.

The world seemed to be shrouded in a white gauze mist, and the million-strong mountains seemed to be a deep abyss, waiting for Dahe Market.

A young man wearing a washed-white low-grade magic robe ran through the muddy rogue cultivator shanty area like a wind.

Some female cultivators who came out to pour urine buckets in the morning saw this scene and couldn't help but laugh and scold.

"Little guy runs fast, is there a dog chasing behind!"

Fast, indeed quite fast.

Luo Chen really seemed to have some fate with martial arts. That book "Li Li Xiaoyao Travel", he spent a short few days to advance from entry proficiency to the proficient level.

Not only did it provide him with an achievement point, but the speed bonus for him was doubled.

In the past, he could run a hundred meters in nine seconds at most.

He now crosses more than a hundred meters in a few jumps.

The road to the city, which usually took an hour and a half, must have taken three or forty minutes to run!

He spent twenty minutes arriving at the city gate today!

Luo Chen hadn't experienced the effect of the Wind-Driving Art, but he felt that Li Li Xiaoyao Travel was not bad, and this was only the proficient level, and there were Grandmaster levels behind.

There is great potential to be tapped!

When he arrived at the rogue cultivator area in the southwest, the sky was not bright. This time, Old Man Chen was not as early as him.

In the large stall area, only a few people were setting up stalls. Luo Chen looked around and didn't put the pills out first, but strolled to a street stall.

"Brother Wang, you came quite early!"

Wang Yuan glanced at him and didn't speak.

Luo Chen giggled and wasn't embarrassed, squatting on the ground and flipping through those books.

"Don't move the 'Five Must-Have Spells for Qi Refining', it costs money."

"How much?"

"Two middle-grade spirit stones."

"Why don't you just rob someone!"

"This is what I robbed!"

"Uh, pretend I didn't say anything."

Wang Yuan, Qi Refining Tier 7, was the kind of person Luo Chen often mentioned who licked blood from the edge of a knife, and often did things like village entrance fire fighting and intercepting roads to rob.

Luo Chen couldn't afford to offend him, and Wang Yuan didn't look down on him, so they occasionally chatted a few words when setting up stalls.

Oh, when Wang Yuan was down and out before, he was forced to hunt in the Guyuan Mountains, and Luo Chen lent him a few bottles of Grain-Bigu Pills.

So, the two actually had some origins.

"Don't move this one either, it records a kind of insidious evil technique."

"Heh, your hand is really cheap, be careful that I rob you when you leave the inner city area!"

"Here, you can read this one as you like. If you want to buy it, I'll sell it to you for five spirit stones at half price."

If there is a free one, why buy it?

Even if you have money, you can't toss it like this!

Luo Chen excitedly picked up the "Six Domains Customs Record" and read it with relish.

This look lasted for an hour.

Until the market flow became lively, Luo Chen reluctantly put down the book.

"Brother Wang, I'll go over first, I'll return this book to you when I finish reading it."

Wang Yuan said lightly, his finger lifted, and the book floated into Luo Chen's hand.

Luo Chen was very surprised, and then he was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Brother Wang, I'll return it to you when I finish reading."

Holding the book back to the bluestone stall, Old Man Chen couldn't wait to lean over.

Seeing that old face, Luo Chen smiled slightly, "Do you want to tell me how good the business has been recently?" ===== CHAPTER 9 =====
