Chapter 439: Tyrannical and Greedy, Rumors Misled Me! (Asking for Monthly Votes)

The four of them, He Lianyun, must have been preparing for today's meeting for a long time!

This is not some groundless speculation.

From handing out greeting cards to now giving prescriptions.

Every process in between is not aimless.

Just like when he first entered the field, the three great monks put pressure on Luo Chen, clearly judging his strength.

In addition, regarding the selection of the alchemist to refine this elixir, I am afraid that Luo Chen was chosen only after careful selection.

Alchemists from large sects may have higher alchemy skills, and people like Fu Jiusheng must also know some third-level alchemists.

But they dare not ask for help.

The reason is very simple. If you don't have the conditions to impress the other party, you will also be coveted for the elixir.

Relatively speaking, Luo Chen's alchemy skills are well-known, and he himself has the need to form alchemy.

There is no need for any additional conditions at all, Luo Chen will be tempted by himself.

at last!

Many of the above materials have been prepared.

Luo Chen looked at the four of them doubtfully, "Can you really get these materials together?"

He pointed at the bamboo slips and said solemnly: "The materials required for this Ming Yuan Dan are not simple things. Even if I were to purchase them, it would take hundreds of years to assemble them."

However, He Lianyun was confident about this.

"Fellow Taoist, maybe you underestimate me."

"Although the Lianyun Merchant Alliance has declined, it has been operating for hundreds of years. I can produce 60% of the above materials now."

"The remaining 40% can be collected in a few years."

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, but he had forgotten about this incident.

Lianyun Merchant Alliance is engaged in this kind of business, which involves traveling from north to south and freeing up resources.

Not to mention other things, just the branch in Dahefang collected countless rare treasures from the millions of mountains in the Eastern Wasteland every year.

but!

"What about the three most important main materials?"

Of those three, even if Luo Chen took action, he couldn't collect even one.

Unexpectedly, He Lianyun said bluntly: "Of these three main materials, the most precious one and also the rarest one - Jialan Thunder Flower, is already in our hands."

"oh?"

He Lianyun pointed at Xiao Sanren.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao obtained a complete Jialan Lei flower from the ruins of the Transformation God. It can be used as medicine to refine the Ming Yuan Pill at least a dozen times."

Luo Chen looked at Xiao Sanren.

From the moment they started talking about business, this person remained silent, even more taciturn than Fu Jiusheng.

At this moment, under his gaze, Xiao Sanren nodded solemnly.

Luo Chen pursed his lips, "Then how should we find the other two main materials?"

This time, all four people's eyes fell on Luo Chen.

Luo Chen frowned.

"What does this mean? Doesn't it mean that you can get it together?"

He Lianyun smiled slightly, "Fellow Taoist, let's take a look at the name of Huiyangshui in Tianshan Mountain. Does it sound familiar to you?"

"Of course it's familiar. Isn't it the first-order elixir to return Yang... Tianshan?" Luo Chen was startled and blurted out, "Could it be that Ice Castle produced this thing?"

He Lianyun nodded and said with a vicissitude of tone: "This is the secret that you, the younger generation, don't know. The Ice Castle is located in the most barren area of ​​the Jade Cauldron Territory, and most of the disciples are restricted to female cultivators. Under such circumstances, nine golden elixirs can be born... No, now it is the top ten golden elixir monks! Why do you think this is so?"

When Luo Chen was thoughtful.

He waved his hands heavily and asserted: "It is rumored that Ice Castle is rich in Tianshan Huiyang Water. In order to cooperate with the sect's secret method of forming elixirs, we can cultivate the top ten golden elixir monks. And your relationship with Ice Castle, fellow Taoist Dan Chenzi... …”

At this point, Luo Chen completely understood.

They are pinning their hopes of obtaining the main material of Tianshan Huiyangshui on themselves!

indeed!

With the relationship between Luo Chen and Ice Castle, it would not be difficult to ask for a share of Tianshan Huiyang Water in person.

After all, Taishang Elder Canglong also said that if her physique were not unsuitable, she could even use Ice Castle's unique pill-forming secret technique for Luo Chen.

With a certain determination in his heart, Luo Chen focused on the last main material.

This time, before he could speak.

Fu Jiusheng explained it directly.

"Nine-patterned snake saliva fruit, I know where to find it!"

“The only thing that needs to be considered is how to pick it?”

Having said this, he stared at Luo Chen with burning eyes, "I think since my fellow Taoist is known as a master of alchemy, Su Xinshou's attainments in alchemy should not be too low!"

Luo Chen waved his sleeves.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he smiled without saying a word.

Mrs. Yousha complimented: "Fellow Daoist Fu may not know that during the Qingdan Dao Seed dispute, Dan Chenzi's alchemy skills were so superb that even the third-level alchemy masters in Qingdan Valley highly praised him. He was just a simple master. In such a huge Jade Cauldron Territory, no one would dare to be ranked second even if he were to be ranked first!”

As soon as these words came out, a look of appreciation flashed in Fu Jiusheng's eyes.

Even if he already knew this information.

But seeing Luo Chen so confident still made him feel reassured.

Between heaven and earth, there are countless elixirs and celestial beings.

Many herbs have special growth habits.

For example, the nine-striped snake saliva fruit, in addition to its special growth environment, also has the characteristics of being filthy when it falls off its branches and melts when it falls on the ground.

From leaving the branch to using it as medicine, it must not take more than an hour.

Otherwise, it will become highly poisonous!

Not to mention using it as medicine to make elixirs, even if it touches it, the foundation-building cultivator will die on the spot.

Moreover, even this poisonous fruit cannot be stored for too long.

Only alchemists with extremely high level of mastery of Su Xin can pick it on the spot and use it as medicine on the spot.

So now, there is only one last question left.

"Dan Chenzi, can you really refine this elixir?"

"This is a third-level elixir. Even though the requirements for alchemy are not that demanding, we don't have much room for error."

"You have to give us accurate information, otherwise we have worked hard to prepare for several years. If you fail to refine the Ming Yuan Pill in the end, it will be all in vain."

Facing the nervous gaze of everyone.

Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

In my heart, I felt cold.

No wonder these four people can get together!

Mrs. Yousha provides the elixir recipe, Xiao Sanren has the most important main ingredient, Jialan Leihua, and He Lianyun has the channels of the Lianyun Merchant Alliance. Not only can he prepare most of the basic auxiliary ingredients, but he is also a local leader in the Jade Cauldron Region.

The other three people were able to contact him, Luo Chen, through He Lianyun.

Finally, it was Fu Jiusheng who stuck his neck on the nine-patterned snake saliva fruit.

He knew where it was, but didn't tell him in advance.

As a result, even if Luo Chen mastered the complete formula of Ming Yuan Dan, he would not be able to refine it.

As for how the four people were connected bit by bit?

I'm afraid there are many twists and turns and stories.

But that didn't have much to do with him, and he didn't bother to delve into the story.

But now, what he was thinking about was not how to refine this elixir at all.

With his extremely solid, even terrifying alchemy foundation, and the high amount of achievement points stored in the system, it is not difficult to get started with this elixir.

In other words, as long as he has a minimum of ten raw materials, he can definitely refine a batch of Ming Yuan Dan!

He was thinking about things other than pills.

When these four people got together in advance, did they reach a private agreement?

After the elixir is completed, will there be chaos between each other? Or join forces to deal with him?

Also, Fu Jiusheng said that the place where the nine-striped snake saliva fruit grows is quite dangerous. How dangerous is it?

The longer Luo Chen remained silent, the more anxious He Lianyun and the others became.

I've never seen him so confident before.

Why did you hesitate when it was time to give the letter of approval?

Could it be that he doesn't have this ability?

Just when the rocks in the hearts of the four of them were piling up higher and higher.

Luo Chen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"I can practice this pill!"

The four of them were not happy yet.

He immediately asked: "What is the specific method of cooperation? Is there any plan on how to distribute the alchemy after it is completed? We are not in the same sect or friends. How can I ensure the safety of my life during the alchemy process? This, you guys You have to make it clear!”

for these three questions.

Several people seemed to have been prepared.

Fu Jiusheng said immediately: "The specific cooperation is very simple. We, the herb collectors, cannot trust outsiders. At that time, neither of us can bring our relatives, friends, or disciples. I will personally take you to the place where the nine-striped snake saliva fruit grows, and only There can be five of us!”

This answer was not beyond Luo Chen's expectation.

The other people didn't have any objections.

He Lianyun took over, "As for the last question, I have a suggestion. That is, before the pill is completed, everyone must do their best to ensure the safety of Dan Chenzi!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"I don't agree." Luo Chen suddenly spoke.

The four of them were stunned.

Luo Chen chuckled, "How can I believe you if you say nothing?"

"Well……"

"But you are unwilling to take the oath of greatness, so how can we win your trust?"

"Simple!" Luo Chen immediately took out a jade slip, and among the four people's curiosity, "Although you don't make a Dao oath, you can still make a contract of essence and blood."

Essence and blood contract!

Upon hearing these four words, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

In the world of immortality, there are countless types of covenant oaths.

The most well-known ones are the avenue oaths and verbal promises linked to the soul.

In addition, there are various covenants created with the help of magical artifacts.

Among these, the Essence and Blood Contract is also considered a relatively well-known one.

This type of contract seems to be less binding than the Dao Dao Oath, but in actual operation, it is the first choice of many people.

After all, the oath of the avenue is ethereal.

If the enemy breaks the contract even if the future path to immortality is cut off, then the person who made the oath has nothing to do.

One died on the spot, and the other just cut off his path, but could still live for tens or hundreds of years. The oath of the path is actually just that!

The Essence and Blood Contract is different.

The monk made an oath by instilling a drop of essence and blood obtained by condensing spiritual power, qi and blood, and fusing them.

Anyone who breaks the oath will be punished on the spot.

Although the backlash may not be that great.

But at the critical moment, this slight backlash is enough to alert others and even gain an advantage.

Madam Yousha said with a forced smile: "We monks don't have much blood essence to begin with, and now we are at the critical moment when we are about to form the elixir. Will we swear an oath with blood essence too much that will affect our cultivation?"

Luo Chen glanced at her, "It will take several years to collect the medicinal materials, let me study the elixir formula, and become familiar with the refining of the Ming Yuan Dan. This time is enough for you to make up for the wasted drop of blood. Could it be that, Do you have evil intentions towards me? Or do you not want the elixir at all?"

"If this is the case, I may have to re-examine this cooperation."

What I said above makes sense.

The next two questions were a bit heart-wrenching.

"That's not what I meant! That's not what I meant!"

Madam Yousha turned pale and waved her hands repeatedly.

"How could I have any bad intentions towards Lord Huoling?"

"Humph!"

Luo Chen snorted coldly and looked at the other three people.

Under his scrutiny, Helian Yun and the other two had no choice but to agree to sign a contract with their blood essence. Before the success of the Nether Yuan Pill, everyone must try their best to ensure his life safety and not have the intention to harm him.

Then, the last thing is the distribution of pills.

"If the number of finished pills is less than five, I want one. If it is more than five, I want two! If it is more than ten, I want three!" Madam Yousha said without hesitation: "After all, the pill formula is what my husband exchanged for his life!"

However!

Xiao Sanren sneered, "If there is no Jialan Leihua, you only have the pill formula."

These two people fought fiercely.

Helian Yun and Fu Jiusheng did not fight much.

After all, a cultivator may only have one or two opportunities to form a pill in his life.

Especially since the two of them are quite old.

One pill is enough.

The only dispute was that if there were less than five pills, they had to have one.

In the dispute, only Luo Chen looked at them coldly and said nothing.

Gradually, the four people stopped arguing.

"Dan Chenzi, what do you think?"

"What do I think?" Luo Chen smiled.

This smile was like a breeze blowing across everyone's cheeks, making people feel like spring breeze.

It was also like the heavy snow in the cold winter, making people feel creepy.

"In the world of immortal cultivation, there are countless pill recipes and medicinal materials everywhere, but these are not important at all!"

He pointed at himself.

"If there is no alchemist, these are just waste!"

"So, I want the biggest share! Everything must meet my needs first!"

"Mrs. Yousha's conditions are very good, you can change to me."

"You can discuss the rest!"

Such a domineering declaration made the four dumbfounded.

Luo Chen was too lazy to argue, so he returned to his seat, picked up the teacup, and gently sipped the bitter tea.

Don't say it!

The spiritual tea that Helian Yun brought out to entertain guests was really good stuff.

Even Luo Chen, who was not familiar with the tea ceremony, could sense its benefits after tasting it.

After the tea entered his body, his spiritual power was really lively, and it quickly condensed into drops of pure spiritual liquid while jumping and jumping.

It seemed that it had the effect of speeding up the cultivation speed!

Even the spiritual vortex rotating clockwise in Luo Chen's body turned steadily and quickly.

It was when he was tasting the tea.

The discussion between the four people had already made them red in the face.

For a long time.

When Luo Chen felt his lower abdomen swell slightly, the four people finally discussed the result.

"Dan Chenzi, we have already discussed it, and we will follow your conditions."

"That's great!"

"But there is one condition. When Tianshan returns to Yangshui, can you ask for a few more and share them with everyone. After all, this is also a good thing that can assist in forming a pill."

Luo Chen curled his lips, "I'll do my best!"

Everyone was helpless. This condition was obviously not a mandatory requirement.

If Luo Chen really wanted to be perfunctory, they had no choice.

Next, they signed a blood essence contract and agreed on the departure time in nine years. This cooperation took a whole day to be considered a deal.

The reason why it was specifically set in nine years.

Because Fu Jiusheng mentioned that according to his experience, the nine-striped snake saliva fruit would take at least nine years to mature.

Nine years is a basic time.

As for whether it is too early?

Better to be early than late!

Before leaving, Luo Chen suddenly asked: "Grand Elder, your spiritual tea..."

"You mean this third-level Bodhi tea?" Helian Yun replied.

Luo Chen nodded, "Yes, it tastes pretty good."

Helian Yun thought for a while, "I still have some, and I can ask someone to send a box to my cave later."

Hearing this reply, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile with joy.

"In that case, thank you very much, fellow Taoist!"

Then, he left Lianyun Tower under the moonlight.

After he left, the atmosphere in the room instantly became quiet.

Helian Yun sat back in the main seat that had been occupied by Luo Chen. He picked up the teapot and was about to pour himself a cup, but found it empty.

He was stunned.

When was it drunk?

Madam Yousha beside him said faintly: "I have only heard of many deeds of Luo Chen in the past, and I thought it was easy to get along with him. But I didn't expect that this person would be so domineering and even extremely greedy. What kind of gentleman is this? Rumors misled me!"

This sentence was absolutely recognized by the other three people!

Luo Chen's performance today was indeed very uncomfortable.

Obviously he was invited, not only did he become the host, but he was also extremely domineering in many cooperation matters, leaving no room for people to fight for it.

But they had something to ask of others.

Suddenly!

Fu Jiusheng asked a question.

"Xiao Sanren, have you observed Luo Chen's current state?"
