Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 732: Chapter 302 Extremely Cold Toad, Netherworld Evil Qi (Monthly Ticket Solicitation) _1

With regards to the Emperor Liquor, a pill that can enhance the chance of reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage,

Luo Chen had always exercised caution.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, he had almost never made it.

Even though there was an increasing number of cultivators under his command reaching Qi Refinement Stage Finalization, and were in desperate need of a large amount of Foundation Establishment Pills, he still dared not expose it.

The reason is not that he considered it as a rare treasure.

Instead, he had already recognized that such miraculous pills, which are equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Pill, had always been exclusive to the Great Sect.

If he was not careful and exposed it,

he would either be seduced into joining, or invite a disaster of extermination.

But this time, he finally found a good opportunity to refine this pill!

Isn’t it rumored in the outer world that the Luo Tian Creed dug up the ruins of an ancient cultivator, obtaining a lot of Foundation Establishment Pills?

Even if this rumor is easily discernible in the eyes of the true upper echelons,

after this war, the Luo Tian Creed has destroyed five family sects, and the number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators slaughtered is as many as eleven!

Moreover, practically all of these eleven individuals are veterans who have operated in Tian Lan Immortal City for many years.

They all have numerous channels and means to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pills.

In such circumstances, it is completely normal for the Luo Tian Creed to obtain several Foundation Establishment Pills after inheriting their legacy.

Without saying anything else, Luo Feng of Luosha District has openly spoken before countless rogue cultivators,

that the Divine Craft Clan had promised him a Foundation Establishment Pill!

And the Divine Craft Clan had perished under Luo Chen’s hand.

If there is one, why can’t there be a second one?

Collecting a bit here and there from the remaining people and getting several more is a natural course of events!

To make this matter appear normal,

Luo Chen had subtly hinted to Sima Huiniang as soon as the war ended.

At that time, he hadn’t spoken clearly,

but his intent had certainly been conveyed.

With Sima Huiniang’s cleverness, she definitely would have understood his thoughts.

In recent times,

Sima Huiniang had begun to release some ambiguous news to the outside world.

The Luo Tian Creed has obtained several Foundation Establishment Pills!

She didn’t just flatly and blatantly release the news to the outside world.

Instead, she included it in the process of recruiting rogue cultivators.

Using it as a bait to attract those lower-tier rogue cultivators with unique skills.

Moreover, she took advantage of these rogue cultivators to disseminate the news on a large scale.

In this way, when Luo Chen refines the Emperor Liquor and secretly grants it to his subordinates, it will be a matter of course.

Without this opportunity, Luo Chen would definitely keep this matter a secret.

...

As time went by, the auction hall of Xuelian Hall gradually filled up with people.

Not many, actually about a hundred or so.

Ninety percent of them were Late Stage Qi Refinement Cultivators, and a small part were Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

Those newly arrived Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, upon seeing Luo Chen when they entered, all nodded at him without any prior arrangement, displaying their friendliness.

The name of Fire Spirit Lord was currently in high demand.

Intrinsically, he was already a rising star in Tian Lan Immortal City.

As for these friendly gestures from the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, even if Luo Chen didn’t know them, he responded to them kindly in each case.

Never offend those who extend a friendly hand after all!

Even if they’re not familiar now, a few encounters will familiarize their faces, and the next time they meet, they can use their joint participation in an auction as a topic to start the conversation.

In everyone’s anticipation.

Shi Boying entered the central venue, announcing the start of the auction.

Contrary to the large-scale auctions Luo Chen had attended before,

This sort of auction, sponsored by several small markets under a single sect, was of small scale.

Therefore, the process was extremely straightforward.

Before the auction, many people had already found out through various channels what good items would appear.

Thus, everyone’s purpose was very clear.

”A corpse of a Second Order Extremely Cold Toad, intact, without any disruption of its Profound Yin Aura, it is the best material for Pill Refinement and Tool Casting!”

”Interested friends may consider this.”

”Starting bid is six thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones!”

Shi Boying, pointing to the three-meter long giant toad on the stage, introduced it in detail.

The toad’s corpse lay there, completely silent.

Just lying there, it gives off a chilling sensation that seeped into the bone marrow.

Even some of the weaker Qi Refinement Stage cultivators felt as if their souls were being frozen.

Someone exclaimed.

”This demon beast corpse, it doesn’t even have a single wound?”

”I wonder who among us has slain it?”

Someone asked, and Shi Boying naturally answered.

This was a good opportunity to raise the price.

She answered with a smile, ”To let everyone know, these few demon beast corpses were all casually slain by a Golden Core Ascendant Master from our Ice Castle.”

”Five Second Order Demon Beasts, all perfectly intact, with only some frostbite.”

The crowd all looked at each other in surprise.

A frost attribute demon beast, frozen to death?

How powerful must the Golden Core Ascendant Master who attacked with a frost technique be?

Someone curious asked, ”Don’t most Extremely Cold Toads lack Profound Yin Aura? Why does this corpse still retain it?”

Confronted with this question,

Shi Boying’s answer was a bit unnatural.

”Before, most of them didn’t have it because they release it during the breeding process to increase their demon beast cultivation levels

”However, this time, the River-Swallowing Toad, who often goes to the Great Snow Mountain, bred its offspring in a different location.”

”Therefore, a trace of Profound Yin Aura was preserved in this Second Order Extremely Cold Toad.”

Everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Are there really such bizarre things happening?

While they were astonished, Luo Chen, without any hesitation, called out a price.

”Seven thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones!”

Someone coveted this whole second-order demon beast corpse and immediately followed the bid.

”Seven thousand five hundred!”

Luo Chen raised the bid again, ”Eight thousand!”

Seeing his ostentatious demeanor, Shi Boying’s eyes glinted.

”Friend Fire Spirit Lord bids eight thousand. Anyone else?”

Seeing hesitation in the room, she added a sentence, ”That strand of Profound Yin Aura, whether added to a magic item or absorbed when the divine soul weakens, can bring significant benefits!”

With that, the atmosphere was once again ignited.

”I bid nine thousand!”

Luo Chen glanced at Shi Boying with resentment and raised the bid again, ”Ten thousand!”

”Ten thousand five hundred!”

”Eleven thousand!”

The hum of bidding was incessant.

It was only when Luo Chen shouted a high price of thirteen thousand that no one else competed with him.

This price was indeed a bit unexpected to him.

You must know that when he originally bought a complete second-order Fiery Fire Cloud Roc corpse, which even included a monster pill, it only cost him eight thousand spirit stones.

The rarity of a Fiery Fire Cloud Roc, due to the difficulty in capturing it, was even higher than the Extremely Cold Toad.

Unexpectedly, he had paid over half more this time!

While Luo Chen was feeling resentful, Shi Boying successively auctioned off the remaining four second-order Demon Beast corpses.

Seeing that the subsequent three also fetched prices exceeding ten thousand, Luo Chen finally understood.

Perhaps, it wasn’t overpriced!

It’s just that demon beast bodies aren’t that valuable in The Great River District where demon beasts are everywhere.

Tian Lan is a major inland city and also a commercial center situated at a transportation hub.

Over ten thousand is the normal price for a second-order demon beast.

By the time it came to the fifth one, Luo Chen made another move when the Demon Frostwolf corpse was on auction.

This time, he skipped the starting bid of five thousand and directly offered a price of ten thousand!

Such a huge price jump.

Considering that the Demon Frostwolf is a very common second-order demon beast and not particularly popular.

As such, not many people bid against Luo Chen.

Furthermore, Fire Spirit Lord’s reputation is definitely impressive.

The other party had indeed accumulated a lot of wealth previously, absolutely capable of splurging.

So this time, nobody competed with Luo Chen, giving him some face of respect.

Seeing Luo Chen win bids on two Demon Beast bodies and express interest in others, some True Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage became curious.

However, they only understood the reason from an old cultivator with broad connections and extensive knowledge.

”You only know Luo Chen by his moniker, Fire Spirit Lord. Have you forgotten about his title of second-order pill refiner?”

Upon hearing this, everyone realized the reason.

These days, using the flesh and monster pills of demon beasts as pill refinement materials isn’t too unusual.

On Luo Chen’s end, he was gleefully calculating how many batches of Emperor Liquor he could concoct from the two demon beast bodies.

With an initial success rate of ten percent, probably around five or six batches.

He would then have to carefully consider how to distribute these batches of Emperor Liquor and who to give them to.

”Even with a convincing reason, Emperor Liquor is still a dangerous item.”

”It must be given to those I’m extremely close to, to ensure its existence doesn’t get leaked.”

”In this way, many people in the Luo Tian Creed can be ruled out.”

”Once sister-in-law’s body has recovered, she can probably attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage again. I promised Big Brother Qin a Foundation Establishment Spirit Medicine before. Although it was to deceive my sister-in-law and make her feel at ease about establishing her foundation, it can still be made real with my current capabilities.”

”But considering Big Brother Qin’s age, he has already exceeded the limit of sixty. The increased probability of foundation establishment brought by the Emperor Liquor is slightly inferior to a conventional Foundation Establishment Pill for cultivators of the human clan. There’s only about a twenty percent success rate, I wonder if it will be effective if he uses it?”

While he was deliberating, Wang Yuan suddenly spoke up.

”Twenty thousand, I want it all!”

Luo Chen turned to follow the sound, his gaze fixed.

On the auction stage, Shi Boying’s fingertips were wrapped in a strand of a deeply dark and glossy colored Evil Qi.

It contained a thick aura of death, like the waters of the Netherworld from the depths of Nine You!

”A hundred-year-old Netherworld Yin Qi, hailing from the Ice Wolf Valley. Friend Wang bids twenty thousand, anyone else wants to bid?”

It turned out to be a second-order Netherworld Yin Qi!

Luo Chen was taken aback.

He hadn’t seen this item on the list before.

It seems like it was specifically submitted before the auction.

This item, unlike those violent and reckless Evil Qi, contained a strong aura of death.

They are usually produced in places where a large number of bones are buried.

Ordinary people have no use for it, but Luo Chen knew that Wang Yuan was determined to get it.

Because this item is one of the three main ingredients required to refine the Blood Evil Qi Pill!

Wang Yuan wanted this item before to attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Now that he has established his foundation, his desire for a Blood Evil Qi Pill is to boost his Path of Strength realm.

Since coming to Tianlan, Wang Yuan wasn’t like Luo Chen, who stays in his Immortal Mansion all day.

Instead, he was often out and about, frequently attending various auction events and frequenting all kinds of shops in Tianlan.

Apart from collecting resources related to the Path of Strength, he also had the intention of collecting Netherworld Yin Qi.

Now, after many years, he finally stumbled upon the opportunity.

From its volume, it seemed quite substantial.

”The three main ingredients needed for the Blood Evil Qi Pill, and various auxiliary materials, I’ve basically collected them all.”

”If I can get this jar of Netherworld Yin Qi, there will be no gaps.”

”Luo Chen, are you confident in refining the Blood Evil Qi Pill?”

Facing Wang Yuan’s telepathic message, Luo Chen confidently answered.

”Rest assured and bid, I have thoroughly researched the pill formula. As long as the materials are complete, I’ll definitely help you refine the desired elixir!”

With Luo Chen’s reassurance and support.

Wang Yuan didn’t have an iota of hesitation.

Facing the high bid of twenty-three thousand by another bidder, he decisively raised the bid again.

”Twenty-five thousand lower grade spirit stones!”

”I’m determined to get this item!”
