Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 474: Chapter 205 Shocking East Mountain, a Fellow Practitioner!_2

”Even for us Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, after taking it, the effect is bound to be extraordinary!”

”In terms of price, we can’t consider it as a common First Order pill, after all, once a pill reaches the Top Grade, it’s almost equivalent to a lower grade pill of a higher order.”

”Therefore, I’m offering twenty Lower Grade Spirit Stones per pill.”

”Considering the quantity, this price may be a bit low...”

”Ahem!”

His words were interrupted by Luo Chen.

Under Kang Dongyue’s puzzled gaze, Luo Chen gave a bitter smile.

”You really flatter me, where would there be mass production of Top Grade elixirs? This one here is a product of fortuitous luck.”

Kang Dongyue blinked, then let out a hearty laugh.

He slapped the table.

”Haha!”

”It seems I was mistaken, yes, a Top Grade elixir!”

”It’s just that previously, I was stunned by your progress in cultivation, it felt like this kind of occurrence happening to you, seemed to be acceptable.”

”Hahaha...”

As the laughter faded, the atmosphere finally returned to normal.

When the laughter ceased, Kang Dongyue sensed something was amiss.

”You said earlier, you have a large amount of elixirs for sale?”

”See for yourself.”

A jade bottle was slowly pushed in front of Kang Dongyue on the rosewood table by Luo Chen.

Unstopping the bottle, Kang Dongyue pursed his lips.

He lifted his head and looked at Luo Chen with suspicion.

”Jade Marrow Pill... Dan Chenzi?”

”Hmm.”

”Hiss!”

Kang Dongyue sucked in a cold breath, looking at Luo Chen with undisguised shock.

People who didn’t know couldn’t understand where his shock came from.

Only a true Pill Refiner would know why this huge emotional fluctuation had occurred.

It has been less than ten years!

Making a Top Grade Allure Pill was no big deal.

At most, they’d say that Luo Chen is highly gifted in Pill Refinement and he has a unique understanding of this pill, hence got it luckily from a fortuitous occurrence.

Even he, Kang Dongyue, has experienced the occasional success in pills he excels at.

However!

Luo Chen was able to refine another elixir to the Ascendant Grade.

This does not solely result from a high talent.

It’s terrifying!

Shocking!

Outrageous!

Incredibly astounding!

So many extreme adjectives can be used to describe Luo Chen’s talent in Pill Refinement.

In his astonishment.

Luo Chen’s words came slowly.

”I have a large amount of Jade Marrow Pills on hand, all of the Ascendant Grade, I wonder if your Jingshi Pavilion has the capacity to purchase them?”

”How much quantity are we talking about?”

”A business worth fifty thousand Spirit Stones! Ideally, I’d like to be paid in Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”

”Allow me to think...”

When it came to business, Kang Dongyue automatically curbed his emotions.

The Jingshi Pavilion doesn’t only sell the Kang Family’s elixirs.

It also usually collects some unconventional elixirs refined by rogue cultivators and small clans.

It is in this way they’ve built up their prestigious name as the Taishan District Jingshi Pavilion.

Even when compared with the Spirit Medicine Hall, they are not inferior in the local trading of low-grade elixirs.

Fifty thousand Spirit Stones is a sizeable sum!

But for the Kang Family, it isn’t an impossible amount to gather.

However, if they did, their liquid assets would be severely strained.

After a while.

Kang Dongyue finally relaxed, ”Are all the Jade Marrow Pills in your possession of this quality?”

”They can only be better, never worse!”

The bad ones were all fed to the River-Swallowing Toad by Luo Chen.

”If that’s the case, I... will take it!”

Before Luo Chen could rejoice, Kang Dongyue changed the direction of the conversation, ”However, I will have to get some resources of equivalent value in exchange.”

”You know, fifty thousand Spirit Stones is quite a sum, it would strain our finances to take it all out.”

Luo Chen thought for a moment, then nodded gently.

Exchanging equivalent resources is a common trading method in the Immortal Cultivation World.

As long as both parties agree.

”There are many kinds of elixirs involved in my Kang Family, including...”

”I want Gold-Quality Jade Liquid!” Luo Chen stared at the old man, ”And the quality must be extraordinary, preferably of the top grade.”

Gold-quality Jade Liquid, a first-order Spirit Medicine.

It’s extremely beneficial for Body Refinement.

It is extremely suitable for Luo Chen to make a complete breakthrough in the First Realm Body Refinement.

As for whether the Kang Family has any Top Grades?

Luo Chen has no doubt at all.

This is one of their family’s signature elixirs. After hundreds of years of refinement, they must have accumulated a small portion of it.

It is indeed difficult to refine Top Grade elixirs.

But it all depends on the level of the Pill Refiner!

Kang Dongyue is definitely a Second Order Pill Refiner; this is evident from the numerous times he was able to easily discern the quality of the elixirs Luo Chen presented.

”Top Grade?”

As Kang Dongyue pondered, Luo Chen suddenly said:

”If there is a Poison Expelling Technique, I would even be willing to make a concession on the purchase price of the Jade Marrow Pills. Of course, I would pay a normal price for the Poison Expelling Technique.”

”A Poison Expelling Technique?”

Kang Dongyue looked at Luo Chen in surprise.

Immediately, a thought popped into his mind.

Could it be that he reached the Foundation Establishment Stage so quickly by madly consuming elixirs?

With this thought, along with Luo Chen’s insistence on offering a concession on the price of Jade Marrow Pills, Kang Dongyue was more convinced of this speculation.

Then, waves of astonishment surged in his heart.

The Kang family was no small clan.

Originally, their ancestor was a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator from the Yu Ding Sword Sect.

Although certain secret techniques of the Sword Sect were not to be spread, some common knowledge from the Great Sects of the Immortal Cultivation World that were not publicly announced yet would still be passed down to their descendants.

Among them was the saying, ”While elixirs are beneficial, one must not be greedy”.

Overdosing on elixirs could lead to an accumulation of a large amount of Pill Poison.

Even the pill formulas refined to the utmost degree by Pill Refinement Great Sects like Qingdan Valley, Medicine King Sect, and Dark Abyss Sect would still leave a residue of Pill Poison.

Ordinarily, Pill Poison does not pose any harm.

But when it comes to breaking through realms, it forms a chasm!

Ordinary people simply cannot overcome this chasm.

One must have a terrifying foundation, enormous willpower, and a speck of good fortune to luckily break through.

Therefore, any Great Sect, no matter how abundant their resources, will deliberately limit the supply of elixirs to their disciples.

Especially the gifted disciples!

They would rather give them a Top Grade Elixir than let them consume a thousand Lower Grade Pills.

A single Top Grade Elixir, naturally, is not as valuable as a thousand Lower Grade Pills.

The Great Sects are not stingy; they just don’t want to ruin a good seedling.

As for Luo Chen, Liu Hecai said that his aptitude was not good.

Initially, he was just a minor Rogue Cultivator!

To reach the Foundation Establishment Stage in such a remarkably short time,

He must have used his terrifying talent in Pill Refinement, with the enormous amount of resources exchanged by his Pill Refinement Technique, to make up for the defect in aptitude.

So, he established the foundation!

After sorting out everything, his inner turmoil gradually subsided.

The way Kang Dongyue looked at Luo Chen was no longer filled with envy, astonishment, or admiration.

It was replaced by a touch of solemnity and pity.

Solemn for the other’s profound foundation.

Pity for the unimaginable pain the other might have endured during the breakthrough, in order to conquer the Pill Poison Barrier.

What a tremendous will that must have been to overcome it!

Luo Chen frowned.

Wasn’t he just inquiring about a Poison Expelling Technique?

Why did the other party reveal such an expression?

He didn’t like it when people showed him feelings of pity and sympathy.

It just makes him feel that his years of hard work have not been recognized.

Kang Dongyue shook his head, brushing off those unnecessary thoughts.

Only, he would regard Luo Chen more seriously than before.

A person who dares to endure great pain in cultivation, even if his years of cultivation are less than his, is entirely admirable.

Only then could he be considered as a fellow practitioner!

”As for the Poison Expelling Technique, our Kang family does not have it.”

”Hmm?”

Luo Chen was puzzled. As an old established family in the Taishan District that has inherited Pill Refinement as its main business,

They have none?

While he was puzzled, Kang Dongyue changed the subject.

”However, I do know of a piece of news about a Poison Expelling Technique.”

”News?”

”Yes, and it’s within Taishan District. It will be put up for auction soon.”

”Auction?” Luo Chen was surprised. ”An auction? But hasn’t the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion been deserted? Is anyone still organizing an auction?”

He didn’t even think about the possibility of a black market auction.

With the departure of Yu Ding Sword Pavilion, the Zhenlong Black Market of Luo Yun Sect naturally could not stay here either.

”It’s organized by the Huo Family!”

”Strictly speaking, it’s a large-scale auction organized by the Flame Alliance in support of the Huo Family!”

The Huo family from Red Toad Mountain?

Luo Chen fell into thought.

Watching his thoughtful expression, Kang Dongyue suddenly asked, ”Is the Luo Tian Creed a force that you established?”
