Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Friend Xiao Luo, are you here to draw inspiration? _1

Feathers Clothes Building and Heaven Sound Building are the two main attractions in Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.

The girls here sell their talents, not their bodies.

Of course, if a high order cultivator takes a fancy or someone spends enough spirit stones, it’s a different matter.

After all, we can’t stop these girls from chasing after a better future, can we?

The reason they can create such a big reputation in such a place is certainly justified.

Think about it, a female cultivator who succeeds in Qi Refinement will never be ugly as long as she takes good care of herself.

If she also has exceptional dancing or singing skills and combines these with magical techniques to express spirit qi, the picture is undeniably beautiful.

Lo and behold, Luo Chen was standing outside the building, appreciating a dance he had never seen in his life or past life.

Five female cultivators, wearing exquisite dresses, were dancing haphazardly on the high platform inside the building.

Sometimes they were flying up gracefully, sometimes they were landing leisurely.

Between the flowing sleeves, there seemed to be mist floating, as if they were in a fairyland.

And these female cultivators were the cultivators in this fairyland.

After watching the dance, Luo Chen couldn’t help but grumble.

”No wonder those cultivators run to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion as soon as they earn spirit stones. If the dances are this good, why didn’t anyone tell me sooner!”

When Gu Caiyi arrived outside the building, she just happened to see Luo Chen crouching on the ground, drawing circles in the dirt.

”What are you doing?”

Luo Chen looked up, staring pitifully at the fairy.

”Sister Caiyi, am I not your little brother?”

”Uh...”

”As your little brother, I would like to support your work. Can I come to drop you off at work every day? And also observe your dance practice.”

Gu Caiyi was a bit confused, what was going on?

After a moment of thought, she covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, ”You wouldn’t be wanting to mooch off the spirit qi at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, would you?”

”Absolutely not!” Luo Chen said solemnly, ”I’m not that kind of person. I just worry that your crazy fans might do something bad to you while you’re commuting.”

”Don’t worry. After all, I am the eighth level Qi Refinement cultivator. I don’t care about small fries.”

Gu Caiyi shook her head and added, ”And you can come in. As long as you pay five spirit stones as an entrance fee every evening, you can watch as much dancing as you want.”

Five spirit stones!

Luo Chen bolted upright, ”Friend Caiyi, time is spirit stones. Please take me to see Lady Xiangxiang! I have a big business deal I want to discuss with her.”

”Hehe, follow me!”

...

In the waterside pavilion.

A calming incense was burning slowly and elegantly in a uniquely styled incense burner.

Gu Caiyi sat next to the pavilion, feeding fish with bait, taking her time.

Meanwhile, Luo Chen was sitting in front of a young girl who was even more beautiful than Gu Caiyi.

Of course, Luo Chen wouldn’t treat her as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

As far as he knew, Lady Xiangxiang had been cultivating for over twenty years. Her real age should be in her thirties or forties, right?

She just looked a bit childish, that’s all.

Childish aesthetics should not be endorsed. Luo Chen preferred women like Sister Caiyi.

Moreover, she was a ninth level Qi Refinement cultivator, so he had to be careful in dealing with her.

”You’re Caiyi’s neighbor?”

”Next door’s Xiao Luo, that’s me.”

”I heard you make a living from pill refinement?”

”It’s just a minor skill, barely enough to make ends meet.”

”But merely relying on the Fasting Elixir, I’m afraid it’s hard to make a long-term living in the Inner City!”

Luo Chen was silent. He found something off about Lady Xiangxiang.

Wasn’t he supposed to be selling a second-hand pill furnace for a girl today?

Why was she asking about everything else?

Yuxiang smiled slightly, ”I am curious. What kind of elixir did you refine in that inferior spirit iron pot that earned you so many spirit stones?”

”Err...” Luo Chen was at a loss.

The Allure Pill sold well, and the ones who suffered were partly the female cultivators of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. Of course, they benefited from it too.

But saying it in person that I had personally refined it is a bit strange.

”I’m not asking for free, sell one to me. Consider it as satisfying my curiosity. I would buy it for fifty spirit stones, it’s like making friends.”

With a flick of her hand, Yuxiang placed a half-person-high purple pill furnace in the gazebo.

Thud!

At that moment, Luo Chen’s attention was drawn immediately.

Purple Cloud Bronze Furnace, a lower grade first order magic tool!

It is manufactured in Tian Fan City and sold in Wanbao Pavilion. It definitely is not an unbranded product.

”Let’s be friends, maybe if I ever encounter any problems in the Dao of Alchemy in the future, I’ll have another fellow Daoist to discuss with.”

Luo Chen’s gaze was fixated on the Purple Cloud Bronze Furnace as he replied casually: ”I sell that pill for five spirit stones each, if you buy it with fifty, it seems you’re at a loss.”

”I do not mind losses when making friends.” Yuxiang smiled, ”Besides, your Dao of Alchemy is worth a handy pill furnace.”

Since it has gotten to this point, there’s nothing more to talk about.

Anyway, Luo Chen wasn’t losing out, this fellow Daoist, he decided to make friends with!

He quickly took out 250 spirit stones, along with a bottle of Allure Pills.

”This pill is called Allure Pill, its medicinal properties are mild. It has the functions of replenishing virility and confusing senses, and it contains a lot of spirit Qi. When pushed to the limit, it can prevent the loss of vital energy from the cultivator. Do not take more than three pills in a day, excessive use can cause changes and damage the Lower Passage Golden Lock. Besides, this pill has a slight aphrodisiac effect on female cultivators, therefore it’s not advisable for them to use.”

Rarely, Luo Chen conveyed everything regarding the Allure Pill this time.

There was no nonsense about solidifying the foundation and cultivating the origin, that was just the marketing rhetoric used to fool buyers.

After finishing talking, Luo Chen got up and put the Purple Cloud Bronze Furnace into his storage bag, made a salute, and then left in a flamboyant manner.

Watching his flamboyant figure leave and then looking at the bottle of pills on the table, Yuxiang was a bit stunned.

Did I spend fifty spirit stones to buy a bottle of virility enhancing medicine specially made for male cultivators?

She glanced at Gu Caiyi who was standing next to her. Her hand was extended over the railing and the bait had long been gone.

Her expression at this moment, also looked somewhat disbelieving.

Yuxiang looked at her with a strange expression, ”Caiyi, the pills that your neighbor refines seem a bit indecent!”

Gu Caiyi awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth, ”Maybe he was forced by life.”

Oops!

...

”When I was wholeheartedly introducing the pill, my expression should have been very serious. They shouldn’t mistake me as an indecent cultivator!”

Reflecting back, Luo Chen felt that he must have left a good impression on Lady Xiangxiang.

In the future, he might take the opportunity to discuss the Dao of Alchemy, sneak into the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion for some spirit Qi, and watch Caiyi dance.

When he left the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, he noticed that it was already dark, and the pavilion was adorned with lanterns and colorful decorations, with women, like sparrows, coming and going.

Some male cultivators who came in from the outside were no longer maintaining their usual refined demeanor.

Luo Chen disdained, a bunch of weak-willed individuals who indulge in sensory pleasure!

I have nothing in common with them!

”Is it Friend Xiao Luo?”

A call of disbelief came from the side.

Luo Chen turned to look reflexively and saw his old customer Zeng Wen, huddled with two women, looking at him uncertainly.

Luo Chen swallowed, ”Friend Zeng, you recognized the wrong person.”

He had just been chatting with Lady Xiangxiang, naturally he had taken off his black veil and bamboo hat.

When he left, he had forgotten to put them back on.

A mistake!

Zeng Wen released the women beside him, and enthusiastically grabbed Luo Chen’s hand.

”Well, I knew I wasn’t mistaken. Friend Xiao Luo, it’s such a coincidence, did you come to figure out the current situation?”

”Um...”

”Don’t tell me, you’re here to test the effects of the Allure Pill yourself?” Zeng Wen’s eyes brightened, he emotionally patted Luo Chen’s shoulder ”I wouldn’t have guessed that Friend Xiao Luo was so considerate. Last time when you said that Allure Pill could be improved, it must be that you are now here to make up for its shortcomings.”

Luo Chen’s usually thick-skinned face, was slightly faltering in front of his old customer’s heartfelt appreciation.

When Zeng Wen enthusiastically invited him to enjoy fine wine and beautiful women together, Luo Chen finally couldn’t refuse anymore.

”The problem has been identified. Better Allure Pills will be sold in the future. Friend Zeng, I must take my leave now.”

After saying this, Luo Chen escaped in a rush.

Watching him flee, Zeng Wen sighed.

”I know a few rogue pill refiners, but like Friend Xiao Luo, who is so responsible, there’s no other. Indeed, choosing him was the most correct decision.”
