Chapter 84: Hundred Herbs Illustrated Guide

Because it was an incomplete pill formula, Luo Chen didn't pay much attention to it.

But after reading it, his mood couldn't be calm for a long time.

Deep Nether Pill.

Main ingredients: Phantom Nether Grass, first-tier demon fox blood.

Auxiliary ingredients: Broken Yang Ginseng, Seven-Origin Flower...

Among the auxiliary ingredients, one was missing.

In addition, the specific proportion data was also missing.

The refining technique and corresponding taboos were also not explained.

They had all returned to dust along with the half-piece of bamboo scroll that had been burned.

But the effect description of the Deep Nether Pill made ripples in his heart.

"Can increase the foundation of spirit sense; after long-term consumption, one becomes extremely sensitive to ghostly objects of the nether phantom."

Just a simple sentence, yet Luo Chen wished this pill formula were complete.

It can increase the foundation of spirit sense!

Ever since Qin Liangchen and his wife told him about the cultivation common sense of soul, spirit sense, and primordial spirit, he had been very attentive.

Later, after asking many times, he also learned a rumor that seemed true yet false.

It is said that those whose spirit sense foundation is strong enough are often easier to break through to Foundation Establishment than others.

Isn't this increasing the chance of breaking through to Foundation Establishment!

Luo Chen had a Five Spirit Root aptitude, and his cultivation was already difficult, and breaking through to Foundation Establishment would only be even more difficult.

Although he was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining now, he might not necessarily not have the day of reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Therefore, how could he not be attentive to things related to spirit sense?

"An incomplete pill formula, it might not necessarily be impossible to refine pills!"

Luo Chen thought secretly.

The system had marked that investing enough achievement points could complete the pill formula and enter the entry level.

"And, it seems Mi Shuhua doesn't pay much attention to this incomplete pill formula. Giving it to me was just to let me use it for reference and accumulate alchemy knowledge, so I could refine the Jade Dew Pill for him."

"I will study it carefully first, and when the time is right in the future, I will see if I can secretly refine it."

With his mind made up, Luo Chen carefully put away the Deep Nether Pill bamboo scroll.

He placed it in the same important position as the Blood Fiend Pill and Jade Dew Pill.

The Luo Chen of the past was penniless, and although he was called an alchemist, he could only refine Nourishing Qi Powder.

That Nourishing Qi Powder couldn't even be called a first-tier pill; it was just an unranked Nourishing Qi Powder.

Later, he entered the entry level of the Myriad Wonder Pill, which opened his true path of alchemy.

Now, possessing three brand-new pill formulas in one breath was a happy event for any alchemist.

He wished he could immediately throw himself into the great cause of alchemy.

But Luo Chen didn't start refining pills directly; on the contrary, his life became much more leisurely.

Apart from his daily cultivation, he would go to check on the construction of the Slanting Moon Valley alchemy room.

In addition, he borrowed a book from the Poshan Gang Merit Hall after much persuasion.

"Hundred Herbs Illustrated Guide"

This was a book that had been on Wang Yuan's stall all year round before he became successful.

But no one had ever bought it.

Later, when Wang Yuan went to take charge of a hall alone, these things were returned to the Poshan Gang and handled by the Merit Hall.

When Luo Chen went to borrow it, Mi Junping refused to do so, saying it had to be bought with spirit stones.

Heh.

Was he, Luo Chen, the kind of person to be a sucker?

We are all one family, and I still have to spend spirit stones to buy it?

He directly brought out Mi Shuhua's name, and the other party reluctantly lent it to him.

"I knew it, as long as Mi Shuhua keeps increasing his investment in me, my small requests in the future will be easier to satisfy."

"This, this is called making reasonable use of sunk costs!"

Lying on the rocking chair, with the mountain spring flowing beside him and his little brothers constructing in front, Luo Chen's attention was entirely on the Hundred Herbs Illustrated Guide.

The reason he was reading this book instead of the "Detailed Explanation of the Dao of Alchemy by Qing Yuanzi" was because this was a requirement in the "Detailed Explanation of the Dao of Alchemy by Qing Yuanzi."

"The Dao of Alchemy starts with recognizing herbs, then processing materials, needing to understand fire control, and then slowly getting started with alchemy."

This is a long process of accumulation.

All along, Luo Chen knew that his alchemy foundation was very rough, and it could even be called garbage.

He was able to refine high-grade Nourishing Qi Powder and medium-grade Myriad Wonder Pills, relying only on the system's empowerment and his own day-after-day proficiency improvement.

But apart from those two types of pills, he didn't know much about other things.

That was why he made a fool of himself when discussing alchemy with Xiangxiang.

Now that he had the opportunity and the guidance of a senior expert, he naturally had to make up for his foundation.

First, start by recognizing herbs!

Looking at a long and thin organ in the illustrated guide, Luo Chen suddenly realized.

"So the Fire Dog Whip doesn't just have the effect of aphrodisiac and strengthening yang, it can also be used to assist in cultivating fire-type spells; just by holding it in the mouth, one can feel the rich... eh, forget it, let's not mention this effect!"

"Tsk tsk, Blue Citrus Grass looks ordinary, but it has as many as forty-nine uses! No wonder the Duan family not far away planted such a large patch of Blue Citrus Grass."

"Jade Wash? Isn't this the main ingredient of the Jade Dew Pill? Let me take a closer look."

Just when Luo Chen was addicted to learning and couldn't extricate himself.

Elder Sikong Shoujia hurried over.

"Gone!"

"What's gone?" Luo Chen didn't lift his head.

"The Mount Ailao cultivators from the Immortal Construction Residence just left, and they didn't even ask for the subsequent spirit stone fees!"

Luo Chen raised his head and blinked.

"Isn't this a good thing?"

They didn't even need the final payment!

Elder Sikong Shoujia shook his head, "I'm afraid something happened."

"Heh, whatever happened, it's Mount Ailao's sect business, what does it have to do with us."

"But the alchemy room isn't built yet!"

Luo Chen stood up abruptly and cursed.

"This group of foremen is irresponsible; even a small project is unfinished."

After saying that, he hurried to the alchemy room side.

After observing carefully, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"No problem, sect cultivators still have credibility; the framework of the alchemy room is basically built, just add the building materials later."

Hearing this, Elder Sikong Shoujia also breathed a sigh of relief.

These three alchemy rooms, from labor to materials, had invested two thousand spirit stones, enough to buy a decent high-grade magic artifact.

Such an expensive house, he hadn't even enjoyed it in his life.

Now that there was no problem, he also revealed a smile.

"Sect cultivators, credibility first, give them a like!"

Seeing Elder Sikong Shoujia make the gesture he used a few days ago, Luo Chen couldn't help but shiver.

Old man, don't be so up-to-date!

"Say something, I won't come here tomorrow, you keep an eye on it."

Elder Sikong Shoujia was puzzled, "Where are you going?"

"To see off some friends; the ten-year rotation period is up, and they are returning to the sect," Luo Chen said indifferently.

The old man blinked, his body stiff.

Ten-year rotation period, returning to the sect!

This is not the rule of those small shops in the Great River Market, but the tradition of the Six Great Upper Sects.

Since when did Luo Chen know such sect cultivators, and have such a good relationship that he needed to see them off personally?

"Slipped away!"

Luo Chen greased the soles of his feet and slipped away directly.

When leaving the valley, he also greeted Gu Caiyi and Murong Qinglian who were busy.

Gu Caiyi didn't follow; she had just joined the Poshan Gang and was in the stage of making friends and getting familiar with people.

Moreover, the ninth level of Qi Refining meant she was not an ordinary gang member.

Under Luo Chen's application, she was now also a deacon of the Alchemy Hall, and like Elder Sikong Shoujia, she was barely on equal footing at the Alchemy Hall.

Slanting Moon Valley belonged to the outer city area, but in fact, it was far away from the real outer city area.

On the road, accidents were very easy to happen.

Therefore, to protect Luo Chen, the Poshan Gang had arranged guards.

Two late-stage Qi Refining brothers, one surnamed Zhou, one surnamed Liu.

The two were good at joint attack techniques, and by joining forces, they didn't fear ordinary ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators.

Along the way, no accidents happened.

When entering the inner city, Luo Chen waved goodbye to the two.

Looking at his dashing back, Liu Qiang was full of envy.

"Look at the life he lives, and look at the life we live. A mere fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator, yet he needs us two eighth-level Qi Refining cultivators to escort him every day; in his past life, he must have been an emperor who was assassinated!"

"Be careful with your words, Brother Liu!"

Zhou Yuanli said softly, "Hall Master Luo is not someone we can criticize."

Liu Qiang snorted and said nothing more, turning and leaving.

"Don't be late tomorrow, otherwise you won't be able to explain it to the Gang Leader."

Liu Qiang's body stiffened, and then the speed of his flight became even faster.

At the city gate, Zhou Yuanli shook his head; this brother of his was always aiming too high.

Before, he had overestimated himself and went to compete for the Hall Master of the Mine Hall, saying that Wang Yuan was a Hall Master at the eighth level of Qi Refining, so he could do it too!

Then, he was beaten up.

Now that he had finally managed to get an easy job with himself, and could earn a large amount of spirit stones, he was still not satisfied.

He still had to persuade him more! ===== CHAPTER 85 =====

He still needed to persuade him more!
