Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 158: Chapter 109: Serious Injury, Milk Tea (Request for Subscription)_1

A total of twelve hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones!

This is the warmth those kind-hearted people brought to him.

This was a large sum, enough to buy him six bottles of Dusting Pills.

Add in the amounts he recovered yesterday from his debts, plus his original savings, Luo Chen’s spirit stones have broken through the two thousand mark for the first time!

”I am now fairly wealthy!”

With a fixed savings of over two thousand, he has the Soul Breaking Nail, a spear, and Ice Snow Flying Sword for attack magic tools, and a set of magic robes for defense, besides the Four Symbols Tripod with various functions.

Even if we do not count the Jade Knife, and the Medium Grade Magic Tools like the empty white plank and the bells.

Luo Chen’s wealth is considered top-notch among Late Stage Qi Refinement cultivators.

However, thinking of the origins of these items, Luo Chen can’t help but feel a little embarrassed.

Beyond the Four Symbols Tripod, which he obtained by taking advantage of Mi Shuhua, the rest of these items were...

”I relied on pills for cultivation and others’ kindness for my magic tools, am I not putting in enough effort?”

A thought crossed his mind, Luo Chen feels indecisive when faced with all these magic tools around.

There were many good items among them, but it’s not necessarily better to have more magic tools.

Lower Order Cultivators often specialize in a few magic tools.

Firstly, they have limited spirit energy; secondly, they lack spirit consciousness to operate too many magic tools.

In yesterday’s battles in the grove, he seemed to have used a variety of means, but actually, most of them relied on various techniques.

The only real magic tools he used were the Medium Grade Jade Knife and Ascendant Grade Four Symbols Tripod.

Even so, he consumed more than half of his spirit power after a big battle.

Thus, selecting a few of the most suitable magic tools from the many tools he has, and forming a new fighting style by reorganizing them, is something that Luo Chen needs to consider now.

”The courtyard is too small, it’s not ideal for experimentation.”

”For this, I will need to find a more spacious place.”

Luo Chen decides to exclude the Trial Hall of Luo Feng Mountain, the fees there are too high.

Looks like I will have to practice with my magic tools in that original forest behind Crescent Valley!

Hmm, what’s that smell?

A bitter scent drifted in through the gap under the door.

Luo Chen pushed open the door to find that someone IN the yard was making medicine.

”Is that you, Sister Xia? Why aren’t you at work this morning?”

Feng Xia opened her mouth but did not provide a reason.

Luo Chen yawned, squatted down beside her, with his eyes on the censer.

”This is for healing wounds, who is injured?”

”It’s Xiao Duan.”

Feng Xia’s voice was very hoarse. This was related to her early work as a drug tester at the Hundred Herbs Pavilion. Even though her throat had been healed later, she still had serious residuals.

She spoke in a plain tone: ”It’s been around five or six days.”

Luo Chen was surprised: ”He’s been injured for so long? What happened?”

”On the Dao Debate Platform, swords have no eyes. It’s the harsh winter now and some Rogue Cultivators are desperate. For the sake of victory, they have been going to all lengths.”

Feng Xia glanced at the East Wing Room and sighed: ”Xiao Duan, in order to maintain his ranking as one of the top three in Qi Refinement last month, battled fiercely with a Rogue Cultivator from Xuelian District. It ended up with one death and one injury.”

Is Duan Feng that strong now?

Luo Chen had once heard Qin Liangchen rate Duan Feng as slightly weaker than himself in his prime.

Now, Duan Feng is within the top three rankings of the Qi Refinement Stage in The Great River District?

The power of the Rogue Cultivators in The Great River District is completely different from the past.

Originally, these rogue cultivators, due to continuous battles with Demon Beasts, were very strong. After honing themselves on the Dao Debate Platform, they become even more formidable.

Even Wang Yuan, because of his long abstinence from battles, has dropped to 50th in the ranking.

Yet, Duan Feng has surprisingly broken into the top three unnoticed.

Luo Chen was in awe for a moment, and then asked in confusion: ”Didn’t they say that normally during a battle, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would act as a judge to avoid the death?”

”How many Foundation Establishment Cultivators are there in the Sword Pavilion in the first place?”

With Feng Xia’s explanation, Luo Chen realized that the fights on the Dao Debate Platform were different from before.

In the winter, the number of cultivators participating in the battles has been increasing, and after careful selection every day, the slots would be filled.

There were only a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators left in the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion to begin with.

With so many matches, they cannot watch them all every day.

Therefore, the lower-order cultivators of Yu Ding in the Law Enforcement Team were mostly responsible for making judgments.

The Low Order Yu Ding cultivators were also primarily in the Qi Refinement Stage.

At a critical moment, they might not necessarily be able to stop two people who have ignited their True Fire.

Over the past month, there have been many instances of cultivators dying in battles as they were unable to restrain themselves.

Moreover, the Sword Pavilion intentionally instigated this to some extent.

The more intense the battles, the more people would watch and bet on them.

Originally, Duan Feng’s battle should have been a focus confrontation, but an impromptu battle was added between the first and second placers at the last moment, hence after the Foundation Establishment Cultivator completed his supervision work, he was replaced by others as the judge.

The end result was one person was killed and another was seriously injured.

The cultivator who came from Xuelian District died, while Duan Feng was seriously injured.

Even Duan Feng was carried back by other Sword Pavilion cultivators, which indicated how severe his injuries were.

”Internal organs dislocated, multiple bone fractures, thirteen wounds of various sizes on his body.”

”These are still fine, the most serious is the freezing air that has entered his body, preventing Xiao Duan from using his spirit power to heal.”

”Moreover, his meridians have been severely damaged. If he does not recover soon, it might affect his future Foundation Establishment.”

Feng Xia looked at the East Wing Room pityingly. Her hoarse voice seemed to not mind the person inside hearing their conversation.

She shook her head. ”I found out about this a couple of days ago. Now that I am free, I am making some medicine for him. However, my methods can only help him recover some of his injuries. The most fatal freezing air must be eliminated by himself. As for the damage to his meridians...”
