Longevity begins with alchemy master

Thirty miles away from Tianlan Fairy City, there is a steep and wide ridge that runs through seven peaks of different sizes.

This place is called Rolling Dragon's Back.

Sitting on the first-order spiritual veins, and on the ridge, there are mountain fires erupting from time to time, thus forming a unique natural environment.

All kinds of resources are spread across the seven peaks and the ridge formed by the rolling of an earth dragon.

Such a sacred place is naturally a holy place for low-level immortals to dream of.

Not to mention climbing up the ridge, the mountains below the mountain alone have more or less aura that is comparable to the concentration of a first-order spiritual vein.

However, this place has long been owned by the owner.

Ordinary casual cultivators don't dare to disturb them at all.

Get out of the Zheng family!

Within the Tianlan Immortal City, there is a well-known foundation-establishing and cultivating family.

With a profound background, it is rumored that the ancestor who founded the family was a fake alchemy existence from the Yan League.

Although that old ancestor has already sat down.

But in the end it left a good legacy for the family.

This background is not just things like spirit stones and magic tools.

It also includes connections, understanding of practice, and a skill that the whole family can rely on for a living.

Alchemy!

The Zheng family is one of the few immortal cultivating families who live by alchemy.

It is rich in a first-order elixir called Huozhi Wan, which contains a lot of spiritual energy. Although the medicinal power is violent, it is easy to damage the meridians during practice.

But at least it is an orthodox practice pill, and the price is much cheaper than the first-order pills in the Spirit Medicine Pavilion and Qingdan Valley.

Therefore, it is also quite popular in casual practice.

Hundreds of years down.

The Zheng family relies on Huozhiwan to make a living, and their life is pretty good.

Not only established the status of the Lord of the Seven Peaks of Rolling Dragon's Back.

Now in the clan, there are three Foundation Establishment True Cultivators at the same time.

The Supreme Elder built the foundation six floors, only one step away from the late stage of foundation establishment.

Patriarch Zheng Kejian also existed in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

Among the younger generation, some were promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage twenty years ago.

In this way, three generations of the old, the middle and the young, one school and three foundations, it's really beautiful!

However.

Outsiders only see their scenery, but they can't see their current predicament.

Huozhiwan is indeed popular.

However, this pill is expensive and difficult to refine.

The chief alchemist in the clan has been refining for many years, but he can only steadily refine the middle-grade Huozhiwan.

In this case, the benefits are far less than what Sanxiu thought.

Today, Huozhiwan's income can only barely support the three foundation building cultivations.

As for the clansmen under Fuze, it was very difficult to do so.

In order to save resources.

The head of the family, Zheng Kejian, who knew that there was no hope of forming an alchemy, even gave up the second-level cave on Tianlan Peak to his son.

However.

House seemingly endless rain!

While he was still thinking about how to increase income and reduce expenditure, he would open up another source of income for the family.

The basic business of Huozhiwan suddenly began to decline.

When did it start?

Zheng Kejian suppressed the anger in his heart.

He hasn't practiced so hard recently, so he has more time.

Therefore, I deliberately counted the account books of the last year.

It's okay if you don't know!

As soon as I checked it out, I noticed something was wrong.

In the past, after the cultivation resources supporting the two major foundation building practices were exhausted, there were often tens of thousands of spirit stones left over to train the descendants of the family.

However, in recent years, this surplus has become less and less.

Twenty thousand, ten thousand, five thousand...

In the past three months, even the cultivation resources of the ancestor and his son have been affected.

Not to mention, the resources of the descendants of the family were cut off directly.

No one informed him of such a big matter!

Seeing his expression that was about to erupt, the Zheng family cultivator couldn't help trembling, and couldn't even speak clearly.

I don't know, it seems to be...the last two months? No, it seems to be a year ago? It's not right...

Calm down, why are you shivering!

Zheng Kejian stared at him, and the pressure of his spiritual sense poured on him like a pot of cold water.

The other party shivered, and spoke even more awkwardly.

Scared!

Zheng Kejian took a deep breath and glanced at everyone in the hall.

These people!

Being blessed by the family, life is really going well.

Showing off his power outside, not thinking about making progress inside, even the family's most important pill business, he didn't even start to care about it.

If he hadn't been idle looking at the account books, he wouldn't have found such a big financial loophole.

Go check it out for me!

Find out exactly when, who, and what caused my Zheng family's pill business to fall.

Within three days, no, one day!

I will give you one day to hand over all the information to me.

With a wave of his hand, the people below hurried out of the hall and got busy. .

Seeing this group of people running away, Zheng Kejian got so angry that he smashed the expensive wooden table with a slap.

I'm afraid I won't be able to find out anything just by relying on these wine bags and rice bags.

I have to go there myself!

...

After changing her appearance, restraining her breath, and putting on a disguise.

Zheng Kejian stepped into Tianlan Fairy City

This was the first time he stepped into this huge fairy city after he gave up the second-level cave to his son who had just entered the foundation-building stage.

It has to be said that after entering the city, he was extremely envious of those fellow Foundation Establishers who went in and out of major shops and bought cultivation resources wantonly.

However, today's purpose is not this!

It is to find out the reason for the decline in the Zheng family's pill business.

In fact, the reason for this is relatively easy to guess. It is nothing more than the increase in the price of raw materials, which leads to an increase in the cost of the elixir and a decrease in profits.

Or, there are competitors.

As for the problem of his own medicine?

He never thought about it.

Those weed-like casual cultivators can have cheap medicines to take, which is already an excellent thing.

How dare you pick and choose.

He planned to find his familiar fellow Foundation Establishment first, and ask about the current situation of Tianlan Xiancheng.

However, the steps have not yet been taken.

At a crossroads, he was stopped by a Qi-refining monk.

Fellow Daoist, do you want to know more about Chalcedony Pill?

At this moment, Zheng Kejian's state revealed to the outside world is in the middle stage of Qi refining.

Very crude means of concealment.

Foundation Establishment cultivators can be seen through at a glance.

But in the eyes of ordinary Qi refining stage monks, he will only be regarded as a person with a low cultivation level.

He asked curiously, What kind of elixir is that?

The monk chuckled, and directly stuffed a piece of paper full of writing into his hand.

This is?

As far as the eye can see, the paper is about one palm wide and two palms long.

The small page is filled with all kinds of words.

[Chalcedony Pill: A must-have item for Qi-refining monks to practice at home! 】

[The top grade is only sold for 85, and the store opening discount is a big bargain! 】

[Zongmiao Pill: To revive a man's majesty, there is no danger of a long road, so that you can enjoy bliss while practicing hard! 】

[Cultivating Yuan Spiritual Liquid...]

【Bigu Powder...】

A dazzling array of products filled this entire page of blank paper.

On the back of the white paper, a road map was drawn.

From entering the city, passing through Nanyang Street, Lingshou Street... all the way forward, almost a quarter of the distance of Tianlan Immortal City was crossed, and finally stopped at the remote Yuelu Street.

The detail of the route is simply outrageous!

Even, some special shops are marked along the way.

It can be said that even if you don't care about the pills on the front, just the following road map is of great collection value for casual cultivators.

Especially those casual cultivators who just came to Tianlan Immortal City.

Regardless of whether it is in the refining period or the foundation building period, they will not reject such a roadmap.

With this map, at least I have an idea of ​​some areas of Tianlan Xiancheng, and I don't even need to be ripped off by the local guide.

Zheng Kejian held the paper, What is this?

Flyers from Danxia Palace! The monk who distributed the flyers chuckled.

Zheng Kejian held back her impatience, and asked earnestly, I mean, are these elixirs sold so cheap? They can't be inferior elixirs! Also, what kind of power is this Danxia Palace?

Danxia Palace is naturally my Luo Tianhui's property!

Brother Luo Tianhui said proudly: As for the price of the elixir above, fellow daoists can go into the store and have a look, it will definitely let you return with a rewarding experience!

Oh, by the way, our Danxia Palace is a bit far from here. On the road map behind this leaflet, there is a small road marked, which can be reached the fastest...

I can't find any specific information from him.

Zheng Kejian didn't ask any more questions.

A beast cart just happened to come next to him, and with a wave of his hand, he got into the cart.

Brother Luo Tianhui was still chatting freely, but seeing him get into the car, he couldn't help being taken aback.

Then muttered:

He's still a rich rogue cultivator. When he enters the city, he will take a beast cart.

Inside the black python beast car.

Enduring the vague smell of monster corpses, Zheng Kejian looked at the leaflet seriously.

A pill worth eighty spirit stones?

Still top grade!

His intuition told him that this chalcedony pill might be the culprit who squeezed his Huozhiwan!

Danxia Hall, Luo Tianhui...

Chanting these two names, Zheng Kejian narrowed his eyes slightly.

...

Yuelu Street!

In Tianlan Immortal City, an inconspicuous small street.

It is mainly composed of a Fupi shop, a Fumo shop, a medicine shop, and an inn.

Because there are shops related to talisman seal making, this street is always full of some strange smells.

Even the business of that inn is not very good.

Only some poor casual cultivators, looking for cheap accommodation, will come here to live here temporarily.

A year ago, a new neighbor came to this street.

As soon as I arrived, I rented a vacant three-story building!

It is located in the center of Yuelu Street, which is extremely eye-catching.

Basically, anyone who enters this street will be noticed immediately.

For this new neighbor, everyone didn't take it seriously at first.

It was later discovered that there were many female nuns inside!

All of them are young and beautiful, and they speak super nicely. A few words make people feel like a spring breeze, just like returning home.

Not only that, they also take some melons, fruits and snacks from the store from time to time and give them to the neighbors next to them.

Once you come and go, everyone's relationship will get better.

It didn't take long for the store to open.

Danxia Palace!

Mainly engaged in the business of pills, and there are many categories.

Even if some of them, such as Bigu San and Peiyuan Lingye, are only common products on the market, they can't stand the cheapness!

Those neighbors came to the house for nothing, eating people soft-mouthed and taking others short-mouthed, and later helped Danxia Temple to promote it.

There are customers who are wandering outside and can't find their way. When they meet them, they will often give pointers.

Gradually.

The business of Danxia Palace gradually improved.

There are many reasons for getting better.

For example, the maids here are all eloquent and nice to speak.

Another example is that the things here, whether they are medicine pills or magical instruments, are all of high quality and low price.

Even casual cultivators who are shy in their pockets can afford it.

There are other reasons, and everyone can see them one by one.

now.

The third floor of Danxia Hall is located.

Luo Chen, who was wearing a white Taoist robe, was flipping through the account books.

Opposite him were Gu Caiyi and Xu Xiaoliu standing with their hands in their hands.

Maybe it's because Luo Chen's cultivation is getting more advanced, or maybe it's because he's more majestic.

The two were respectful and did not dare to breathe.

Glancing at the two of them out of the corner of his eye, Luo Chen continued to look down at the account books.

One year!

All the previous expenditure costs have been earned back, and there is still a surplus.

A year ago, he made the decision and rented this three-story building from Binglan Palace.

The rent paid is extremely cheap!

Firstly, it is because Yuelu Street is too remote, and it mainly supplies raw materials, and there is no commercial atmosphere.

Secondly, it is also related to the cooperation between him and Tantai Mao.

The annual rent of this shop only needs 5,000 low-grade spirit stones.

This is definitely considered cheap in Tianlan Immortal City.

The same area can be counted in tens of thousands with a little power.

Having this shop is a good thing for Luo Tianhui's business!

Can play signs.

In particular, it is also possible to find a safe and regular sales outlet for the goods produced by Luo Tianhui.

Although Biyou Valley is good, it is too remote after all.

After Wang Yuange killed Cao Wanchun, he really lost a lot of popularity.

If you want to raise your popularity and business atmosphere, it will not happen overnight.

Therefore, Luo Chen chose a two-pronged approach.

Both inside and outside the city are developing at the same time.

And this year, apart from his daily practice, he put aside all his spell practice, and spent almost all his time on alchemy and cultivating talents.

For a year, he refined chalcedony pills for seven months and jade pills for four months without stopping.

Interspersed in the middle, a large number of Tongyou Pills were refined.

Such a huge alchemy project, in addition to his own profound spiritual background and superb alchemy attainments, the cooperation of alchemy monks is also indispensable.

Getting results is extremely gratifying.

A total of 40,000 chalcedony pills were refined!

Not only that.

Under his daily supervision and guidance, Qu Lingjun was finally able to steadily refine the mid-grade chalcedony pill.

Although the success rate of pills is not high, the number of pills in each furnace is not as stable as Luo Chen.

But at any rate, the output can be stabilized.

He is not the only one Luo Chen cultivated talents.

Rice grains!

It is also his training object.

This talent who was first buried by Mi Shuhua actually had a certain talent for alchemy.

It's just that Mi Shuhua pushed the seedlings to encourage her, and asked her to refine the difficult chalcedony pill from the very beginning, so naturally she couldn't see any results.

Luo Chen's cultivation of rice grains...

In other words, it should not be called cultivation, but stocking.

At first, just let her play second hand.

Later, I gave her the insignificant bigu powder to refine.

Bigu powder is just an ordinary pill that does not enter the high-grade class, and the rice grains were used quickly at the beginning.

Over the years, a solid alchemy foundation has already been accumulated.

During this year, Luo Chen finally let her start refining the first-order elixir.

It's just that it's not chalcedony pill.

It's Zhongmiao Wan!

Luo Chen's familiarity with refining this elixir that made him earn his first pot of gold from scratch is still higher than that of chalcedony elixir.

Regardless of refining times.

It was the gradual process, which he experienced too deeply.

From the initial alchemy in an iron pot, to the alchemy furnace with firewood in the back, and then to the alchemy in the ground fire.

It can be said that in the eyes of Luo Chen, there is no secret in the refining of Zhongmiao Pills.

Mi Li also knows Zhongmiao Wan very well.

At the beginning, Tang Quan often failed, and the other party did not dare to disturb Luo Chen, but discussed with Mi Li many times in private.

It can be said that although Mi Li has not practiced it, he is familiar with all kinds of problems in the refining process of Zhongmiaowan.

After Luo Chen let her do it.

Relying on Luo Chen's guidance, he solved the problem.

Coupled with the alchemy foundation she has accumulated for many years.

It didn't take a few months to refine the low-grade Zhongmiao Wan naturally.

In this way, the types of pills that Luo Tianhui can sell to the outside world have gradually increased.

Mainly top-grade chalcedony pill refined by Luo Chen, supplemented by middle-grade Qu Lingjun.

It is decorated with Zhongmiao Wan made from rice grains.

Peiyuan Lingye is the simplest, you only need to mix the medicinal materials, casual cultivators take it back and brew it yourself, and you will earn a processing fee.

Bigu San is not difficult, at the beginning Dahefang was not the only one refining and selling Luo Chen.

In the alchemy hall, he found a few people to refine it, and finally trained a monk who specialized in refining Bigu San.

It can be said that apart from Tongyou Pill, Burning Blood Pill, and Yulu Pill.

Luo Chen refined almost all the pills he knew as much as possible.

Thus put on the shelves of Danxia Temple!

Not only that, but in the Danxia Palace, the magical instruments of the Qitang are also sold.

Those magical weapons were not refined by Qitang, but the spoils accumulated by Luo Tianhui after many battles.

The best one is that Luo Tian will keep it for himself.

For the rest, they can be sewed and repaired, and they can also be put on the shelves.

In addition, Feng Xia and Yuan Xiaoyue picked up their old business.

Fairy beans, beef jerky, milk tea, popcorn...etc

Even, on the basis of the original, they developed snacks such as stir-fried silkworm beans and ten-scented coriander.

It can also be regarded as the use of waste for those crops that have no economic value during the cultivation of spiritual fields.

finally!

Thus formed the present Danxia Temple, a seemingly nondescript shop with a wide variety of categories.

But in this way.

When calculating cost and profit, it is a very tedious task.

In the early days, mistakes were often made.

So much so that Luo Chen would come over to check the accounts from time to time.

At the back, Gu Caiyi, the head of the Jintang Hall and the manager of the Danxia Temple, gradually sorted out various accounts after getting acquainted with it.

Luo Chen also formed a habit before.

So I come here every now and then to have a look.

Now, he is looking at the general ledger for the past year.

Danxia Palace in the city has about 300,000 spirit stones a year. Among them, the medicine pills I refined and the magic tools of Heqitang accounted for the majority.

Over Biyou Valley, I've seen it before, and the gross profit is around 100,000. The profit is mainly composed of me and Qitang.

The alchemy level of Qu Lingjun and Mi Li has to continue to improve. Now the annual income is only in it, accounting for about 10,000.

If only for individual casual cultivation.

Two Qi refining period monks can earn more than 10,000 yuan a year, which is naturally a lot of money.

But for Luo Tianhui today, it was just icing on the cake.

Compared with the original Luo Chen, it is far inferior.

But Luo Chen didn't care.

For the two, he is very patient.

Continue to cultivate, there is definitely a bright future.

The annual gross profit is 400,000, which is already more than most foundation establishment forces.

It's because I am an alchemist that I have this benefit!

Luo Chen once again affirmed the importance of himself as a noble alchemist.

Afterwards, he calculated the number of spirit stones he could use.
