Chapter 126: Purchasing Elixirs and Gathering Information
"You are right to think so. If Zhu Yan can successfully survive this disaster, the family will be able to earn more resources from her in the future."
Lu Wenxing looked at Lu Chengan with admiration and said with a smile: "The business in Qinglingshanfang City is very good now. There are even monks at the foundation-building level going to Qinglingshanfang City. I purchased a batch from Danding Sect before. Pills, those pills are almost sold out now.
When you go to the Alchemy Sect this time, just buy a batch of elixirs from the Alchemy Sect! "
Lu Wenxing has already negotiated the price with the foundation-building monks of the Alchemy Sect. The number of elixirs that the Lu family wants to purchase is relatively large, and both first- and second-level elixirs have been purchased. Therefore, the price that the Alchemy Sect will sell to the Lu family is Lower than market price.
"These are the elixirs that need to be purchased. You wait here for a moment. I will go and get the spiritual stones for purchasing these elixirs." Lu Wenxing said with a smile.
After Lu Chengan took the elixir purchase order from Lu Wenxing, he quickly read through the elixirs recorded on it.
The types of these elixirs are very complete, with most of them being first-order elixirs. The number of second-order elixirs is relatively small, and they are all second-order and low-grade elixirs.
"I didn't expect that the patriarch would do this after I left the family for more than two months!"
Lu Chengan lamented that although he came from time travel, he was far inferior to the patriarch of the Lu family in doing these things.
Of course, this is also the reason why he did not put his mind on this, otherwise he would be able to lead the Lu family to develop very well with his experience accumulated in his previous life.
Lu Wenxing was very fast. A moment after he left the cave, he returned to the cave with the spiritual stones to purchase the elixir.
After Lu Chengan got those spiritual stones, he didn't stop at Chiyan Mountain and rushed towards the Alchemy Cauldron Sect.
The person in charge of the Danding Sect's handover to Lu Wenxing was the Great Elder Jiang Ying, and Jiang Ying was responsible for the Danding Sect's finances.
Previously, the great elder of the Alchemy Sect, Jiang Ying, and the second elder, Wu Qing'an, were both in the middle stage of foundation building. Lu Chengan and the monks from the Alchemy Sect had obtained the elixir of the seven-cornered flower in the Qingling Secret Realm.
Jiang Ying and Wu Qing'an used the realm-breaking elixir refined by the seven-cornered flower, and now their cultivation has reached the late stage of foundation building.
The Seven-horned Flower was successfully obtained by the Danding Sect because of Lu Chengan. Through this, Jiang Ying and Wu Qing'an, who had broken through to the late stage of foundation building, both inherited part of the Lu family's friendship.
Therefore, when Lu Wenxing took the initiative to approach the Alchemy Sect to purchase large quantities of elixirs, Jiang Ying, who was in charge of the Alchemy Sect's finances, only thought about it briefly before agreeing.
Moreover, the elixirs traded between the Alchemy Sect and the Lu family are still at a relatively low price.
Before Lu Chengan went to the Alchemy Sect, he sent messages to Jiang Ying and Xu Shao respectively. After he arrived at the Alchemy Sect, he met with the great elder Jiang Ying first.
"Lu Chengan has met Senior Jiang!"
After Lu Chengan saw Jiang Ying, he immediately raised his hands and saluted.
Although he and Jiang Ying were in the same foundation building realm, Xu Shao and the others he was friends with from the Danding Sect were Jiang Ying's juniors. Following the seniority of Xu Shao and the others, he naturally wanted to call Jiang Ying senior.
"Lu Chengan, I haven't seen you in a long time!"
Jiang Ying looked at Lu Chengan with a kind face, and said with a smile: "I saw the message from your clan leader. What kind of pills does your Lu family need this time?"
"Senior, please see, this is the list prepared by our clan leader."
Lu Chengan took out the list recording the names of the elixirs and handed it to Jiang Ying. The list also included a second-level mid-grade elixir for healing and restoring mana prepared for Zhu Yan.
The Lu family already had a demand for elixirs of this grade. Even with the addition of these two types of elixirs, Jiang Ying didn't notice anything.
Jiang Ying quickly read the list that Lu Chengan took out, then said with a smile: "You wait here for a moment, I will go and get the elixirs that the Lu family needs."
Soon after, Jiang Ying returned to the Guest House with the elixirs the Lu family needed.
The prices of these elixirs had been negotiated between Lu Wenxing and Jiang Ying before, so there was no need to waste any more words on this transaction.
After Lu Chengan handed over the spiritual stones prepared by the Lu family to Jiang Ying, he also successfully obtained the elixirs that the Lu family needed from Jiang Ying.
Lu Chengan had no friendship with Jiang Ying. After he completed the transaction with Jiang Ying, Jiang Ying returned directly to the Danding Sect.
But Lu Chengan did not leave the Danding Sect, but sent a message to Xu Shao.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, your face is so solemn, but what happened?" The smile on Lu Chengan's face disappeared and he asked in a serious tone.
"Oh, we did encounter something!"
Xu Shao sighed lightly. After looking at Lu Chengan, he said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Lin took the Foundation Establishment Pill to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm some time ago. He did not succeed in breaking through, and his luck was very bad. Even with the Foundation Establishment Pill, The medicine protects me, but my muscles and veins are still injured, and I will never be able to break through to the foundation-building realm again in this life..."
Xu Shao has indeed been feeling very depressed recently. He and Lin Tao are both disciples of Wu Qing'an, and the relationship between the two senior brothers has always been very good.
Lin Tao's cultivation failed to break through to the foundation-building realm, and his tendons were damaged beyond repair. This incident naturally affected Xu Shao's mood.
In addition, there is another thing that makes Xu Shao extremely distressed.
The Tianyan Sect recruits foundation-building monks to hunt monsters deep in the Burning Flame Mountains. Immortal-cultivating forces as powerful as the Danding Sect are naturally also recruiting.
The Danding Sect has been allocated three places. These three people are the Danding Sect's leader Shi Mingxin, the second elder Wu Qing'an and the fifth elder Yang Chongyu.
With the support of the sect, Yang Chongyu's cultivation has successfully broken through to the middle stage of foundation building, and he is also the only cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building in Danding Sect.
His cultivation talent has reached the top in this life, so the last place allocated by Danding Sect fell on him.
This time, two second-level perfect monsters in the Fenyan Mountains broke through to the third level. It is conceivable what kind of dangers the cultivators who enter the Fenyan Mountains to hunt monsters will encounter.
Xu Shao's master is going to enter the Fenyan Mountains to hunt monsters, which naturally makes Xu Shao very worried.
"Since Tianyan Sect dares to lead cultivators to enter the Fenyan Mountains to hunt monsters, they must have some confidence. Sect Master Shi and Senior Wu are powerful, and they will definitely be fine."
After Lu Chengan smiled and comforted Xu Shao, he asked: "How many cultivators did Tianyan Sect gather to enter the Fenyan Mountains this time?"
This is also one of the purposes of Lu Chengan's meeting Xu Shao this time. Their Lu family is too weak and has no access to such information.
"This time, the Tianyan Sect entered the depths of the Fenyan Mountains to hunt monsters. The leader was Xuankong Zhenren of the Tianyan Sect. According to my master, Xuankong Zhenren has now summoned fifty cultivators in the foundation-building realm..."
Xu Shao was quite clear about this information, and it was not a secret, so after Lu Chengan asked, he told Lu Chengan directly.
The number of the fifty cultivators in the foundation-building realm summoned by Xuankong Zhenren was not large, but the strength of these fifty cultivators in the foundation-building realm was very strong, and half of them had reached the late and perfect foundation-building stage.
Among them were two Jindan seeds of the Tianyan Sect, Wan Xianyun and Dai Xuan.
Wan Xianyun and Dai Xuan were both in the perfect foundation-building stage, and both had experience fighting against Jindan early stage cultivators.
These two people were also the reason why the Tianyan Sect dared to take action against the two monsters in the Fenyan Mountains that were about to break through the third level.
During this period, the Lu family also learned some relatively secret information, such as why the Tianyan Sect still did not invite other Jindan cultivators to attack the two monsters in the Fenyan Mountains that were about to break through the third level even under such circumstances.
This is because a very pure origin will be bred in the body of a monster that has just broken through to the third level. This origin is the foundation of the third-level monster, and the third-level monster needs this to condense the monster pill.
After the third-level monster successfully breaks through, it takes one to three days to refine it, and then it can be used to condense the monster pill.
If the third-level monster is killed before it refines the origin, the human cultivator can use the secret method to extract this origin from the monster.
This origin is a main ingredient for refining the Jindan.
The role of the Jindan is similar to that of the Foundation Building Pill. It is also a pill that breaks the great realm. Its role is to assist the foundation building cultivator to break through to the Jindan realm.
This time, two demon beasts in the Burning Flame Mountains are about to break through to the third level, which is definitely a great opportunity for the Tianyan Sect.
If they successfully obtain the origins bred by these two demon beasts, they may be able to use this to cultivate two new Jindan realm cultivators.
The power of the third-level demon beast origin is limited, and one origin can only refine one Jindan.
Before, the Lu family was limited in strength and did not get in touch with these news.
Now that the Lu family's strength has improved, and it just happened to encounter a demon beast in the Burning Flame Mountains that broke through the third level, they were able to find out these news.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, thank you for telling me this news!"
After Lu Chengan sincerely thanked Xu Shao, he smiled and said, "Although I can now refine a second-level lower-grade magic weapon, my refining skills are definitely not as good as those of those senior second-level refiners. Are you sure you want me to help you re-refine the black iron stick?"
This is the second purpose of Lu Chengan's visit to Xu Shao.
Before, Xu Shao asked Lu Chengan if he could refine a second-level lower-grade magic weapon now, and Lu Chengan simply told Xu Shao about his situation.
After Xu Shao knew that Lu Chengan had become a second-level lower-grade weapon refiner, he wanted Lu Chengan to help him re-refined the black iron stick.
The black iron stick was a magic weapon used by Xu Shao when he was in the Qi Refining Realm. The difficulty of refining this magic weapon was not great. It had a very obvious feature, that is, it was heavy enough.
Xu Shao was already very strong. If he used his magic power to drive the equally heavy black iron stick, he would achieve a very terrible effect.
"Before this, I had found other second-level weapon refiners to re-refined the black iron stick, but unfortunately they could not refine this Wanjun Heavy Iron!"
Xu Shao sighed lightly, and he took out a piece of black ore the size of a fingernail from his storage bag.
This ore is Wanjun Heavy Iron!
The Wanjun Heavy Iron that Xu Shao took out was of the second-level lower grade. Although it was only the size of a fingernail, it weighed hundreds of pounds.
It was difficult to refine Wanjun Heavy Iron with ordinary flames, let alone use it to refine magic weapons.
It was for this reason that Xu Shao had not been able to upgrade the grade of the black iron stick to the second grade.
He asked Lu Chengan to refine the black iron stick again, and he also wanted to give it a try, just in case Lu Chengan could refine the heavy iron!
"Try to see if you can refine this heavy iron. If you can, I will give you the method of refining the black iron stick and let you help me refine the black iron stick again." Xu Shao said.
"Then I'll give it a try!"
After Lu Chengan took the heavy iron from Xu Shao, he felt his hand sink. Then he urged his magic power and sacrificed the red flames at the same time.
The red flames instantly wrapped the heavy iron, and Lu Chengan silently sensed the changes of the heavy iron.
After a moment, a faint smile appeared on his face, and then he put away the red flames again.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I am sure I can refine this Wanjun Heavy Iron, but I am not sure I can upgrade the grade of the Black Iron Stick to the second-grade lower grade. I need to study the refining method of the Black Iron Stick before I can give you an accurate answer." Lu Chengan said with a smile.
He had never refined a magical tool like the Black Iron Stick before, so he did not make any guarantees.
"This is the refining method of the Black Iron Stick. Don't worry about refining the Black Iron Stick. When you are sure, just send a message to tell me, I will go to the Lu family to find you."
Xu Shao immediately took out a jade slip from the storage bag and handed it to Lu Chengan. The jade slip recorded the refining method of the Black Iron Stick.
This jade slip was obtained by Xu Shao from an abandoned cave, so he dared to give it to Lu Chengan like this.
Lu Chengan's spiritual power surged out, and he quickly checked the method recorded in the jade slip.
"The cultivator who left behind the method of refining the black iron stick must be a profound refiner!"
Lu Cheng'an was very surprised. His refining skills basically came from the refining inheritance he got from the Xu family.
The Xu family's refining inheritance was not very profound. He was able to refine high-quality magic tools mainly thanks to the panel.
The jade slip that Xu Shao gave him only introduced the method of refining the black iron stick, but the refining method recorded on it gave Lu Cheng'an a lot of inspiration.
That's why he felt that the cultivator who left behind the method of refining the black iron stick must be a profound refiner.
"I will seize the time to study the method of refining the black iron stick and help fellow Daoist Xu refine the second-level low-grade black iron stick as soon as possible!"
Lu Cheng'an smiled and put away the jade slip, and made a promise to Xu Shao.
After Lu Cheng'an finished talking to Xu Shao about these things, he did not stay in Danding Sect any longer.
After leaving Danding Sect, he first handed the elixir purchased by the clan to the clan leader, and then rushed to Qingying Island without stopping.
Lu Chengan didn't waste any time on the journey, and the time he spent was not too long. When he arrived at Green Crocodile Island successfully, nothing happened on Green Crocodile Island.
"This is the second-level medium-grade elixir I bought for Zhu Daoyou to heal injuries, restore mana, and improve cultivation. There are also some communication talismans. If you encounter anything in the Burning Flame Mountains, you can immediately send me a message. If I have the ability, I will definitely help you."
