Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 112 Just take care of yourself! (Please subscribe)

Luo Chen didn’t know that someone was going to give him a big gift.

 After sending Mi Junping away, he got busy again.

 Tables and chairs, tea sets, customized porcelain cups, charcoal stoves….

Each item of less valuable but tedious items was gradually prepared under his care.

During this process, the bodyguards assigned to him by the Poshan Gang made great contributions and were specifically responsible for running errands.

 In comparison, his favorite store manager and milk tea girl Feng Xia is not involved in these things.

 What she has to do is to become familiar with making tea soup and making milk tea according to Luo Chen's recipe.

In addition, Luo Chen also asked Gu Caiyi for help.

Monks still have some taste for elegance. Whether it's drinking wine or tea, you can't just give it to him directly. You need some elegant techniques.

  It is also the so-called sense of ritual.

This kind of elegance is extremely obvious among wealthy monks.

 For example, someone likes to play with a folding fan when he has nothing to do, and he doesn’t know how cold it is in winter.

 Tianxiang Tower knows this very well, and Gu Caiyi naturally knows it too.

He asked Gu Caiyi to teach Feng Xia some beautiful tea-making techniques during her free time.

 In other words, it is no longer a technique.

 It is a summary of body shape, posture, eyesight, hand posture, etc.

 In short, what finally appeared in front of Luo Chen was a quiet scene of a virtuous woman making tea with bare hands.

The extremely slim-fitting robes highlight your graceful figure.

The plain white sleeved coat is draped over the body, giving an extra sense of tranquility.

 She has a slightly high bun on her head, and she also wears the Miaochang bun often worn by female Taoist priests.

Under the two blue streamers, the fine hair reveals a face that is not stunning, but very attractive.

As Feng Xia gracefully added the Fuzhu deer milk mixed with herbal spring water, a steaming cup of Fuzhu milk tea was considered a success.

 “Brother Qin, do you want to try it?”

Qin Liangchen waved his hands quickly, "No, no, I won't drink this stuff even if you beat me to death."

 “Forget it, I’ll do it myself!”

Luo Chen took the flowered porcelain cup and took a sip from the bamboo straw that the bodyguard had recently sharpened.

Feng Xia looked at him nervously, while Qin Liangchen waited to see the joke.

Over in the east wing, Duan Feng was half-lying on a rocking chair, watching this scene curiously.

Luo Chen nodded slightly without keeping everyone waiting for too long.

“Okay, it’s almost the same as the milk tea I made.”

 When he said this, Feng Xia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

 She pulled at her slim robe uncomfortably, "Then when will we open?"

"Just tomorrow! Aren't there a group of death row prisoners who want to fight monsters? There will definitely be enough potential people by then!"

Luo Chen has set a time for opening, but it has been delayed for a long time recently.

It is better to choose the right day than to hit the right time. It is better to open the business as early as possible and make profits as early as possible.

“Also, let me give you a few more words. Sister Xia, please try to talk as little as possible and concentrate on making milk tea and selling milk tea.”

Feng Xia naturally knows the reason for talking less.

 But she was still a little worried, “Is it really possible?”

“Don’t worry, I’ve arranged everything!”

Luo Chen was extremely confident and showed a confident smile.

 Seeing how confident he was, others were also infected and became less worried.

 …

"Xiao Duan, we may be very busy today. I've prepared your medicine for you. You can just heat it up at noon."

At dawn, a hoarse voice came from the living room.

Duan Feng opened his eyes and let out a dull sigh.

 He knew that the small store called "Mixue Ice City" was going to open today.

The boss is Luo Chen, and the shopkeeper is Feng Xia.

 In fact, Feng Xia will be busy in and out of the store alone from now on.

 But even so, he was happy for Feng Xia.

Sister Xia is a very good person, and it is undoubtedly great to have a job that supports herself.

 And the man who offered the job…

Duan Feng's eyes fell on the empty jade bottle in front of the bed, and Duan Feng felt warm in his heart.

 At Baishi Square, the sky is getting brighter.

Many people are already busy, including Yuan Xiaoyue who left the stall early.

As the forum became more and more popular, the commercial atmosphere in Baishi Square gradually became more lively.

 Even if there is no very popular battle, the vendors here will habitually set up stalls.

Occasionally, the vendors will also turn their attention to the closed shops nearby.

I was thinking about how long it would take to earn spiritual stones and rent a shop of my own.

Work hard, the days will only get better and better!

But today, those small vendors found that a small shop had opened early.

Several flower baskets with unique shapes are placed on both sides.

 “Is this a new store?”

 A wooden plaque above the store has already marked the sign.

 “Mixue Ice City”

 “What is this for sale?”

 Listening to a few acquaintances nearby discussing that store, Yuan Xiaoyue was also looking forward to it.

  Milk tea was originally given to her for sale, but because it was too simple and tasted bad, she never sold much.

Now Brother Luo Chen has changed his approach and launched it in such a "grand" way.

 I hope it will sell like crazy!

As more and more people came to the square, some people also noticed the Mixue Bingcheng store.

 They don’t know what this store sells, so they have little interest.

 Suddenly, a sweet voice sounded.

 “You love me and I love you

 Mixue Bingcheng Sweet Honey

 You love me and I love you

 Mixue Bingcheng Sweet Honey

 …”

Everyone was stunned, listening to the repeated lyrics.

 It’s very simple and everyone can understand it, but they still don’t know what it is selling.

This is the song. After listening to it for a long time, my head and mouth are humming subconsciously.

At the corner of the square, Luo Chen looked at the empty shop door and breathed a sigh of relief at first.

 The Tianlai Ball I bought from Wanbaolou is really easy to use.

　　Collected the singing voice of the sister from Tianxiang Tower, and then used the spirit stone to stimulate it, so that you can sing this plagiarized advertising song at any time.

However, this method alone is not enough to run a store.

His eyes fell on the dozen or so familiar monks in front of him.

 “You must be tired lately!”

Tang Quan scratched his head and said, "You're not tired. I haven't made any elixirs recently, so we have a lot of leisure time."

  Mi Li, Roldo and others also nodded.

 “If you say you are tired, you are tired!”

Luo Chen glared at him, "Now I'll give you some reward and treat you to milk tea!"

With everyone's doubtful eyes, Luo Chen gave out five spiritual stones to each of them, scattering nearly a hundred spiritual stones in total.

 Everyone was so happy!

The hall master is so generous today!

He actually found a spiritual stone.

“Now, you go to the Mixue Ice City to buy milk tea. Each of you has a cup, and you line up to buy it.”

“After I bought it, I drank it in the square. While drinking it, I praised how delicious the milk tea was. The voice must be loud!”

“After you finish drinking, go around for a while, then come back and continue queuing. Until you have spent all the spiritual stones I gave you!”

"Do you understand?"

Everyone was stunned. It took a long time to get the spiritual stone as a reward!

However, the hall master asked them to buy the Laushizi milk tea, but they could drink it themselves.

 A piece of spiritual stone and a cup of milk tea, they want to taste what it tastes like!

Normally, monks like them who are in the early or middle stages of Qi refining don't have many spirit stones in their hands.

Even though I heard that a meal in Zhong Ding’s family often cost dozens or hundreds of spiritual stones, I just heard about it.

 Now that I can’t afford to eat at Zhong Ding’s, drinking a sip of square milk tea is still enjoyable.

Soon, they came in large numbers and formed a long queue outside the store in Mixue Bingcheng.

 The first person to buy milk tea is the fastest Tangquan.

“Shopkeeper, what do you have here?”

 Feng Xia glanced at him, then pointed to a wooden sign in front of the door.

It says, "My wife, you have milk tea, a piece of spiritual stone, a cup."

Tangquan handed over a spiritual stone without hesitation, "Have a drink."

 “Would you like something hot or something cold?”

“Of course it’s hot. Who drinks cold milk tea in the winter?”

 Feng Xia nodded and started mixing milk tea.

Tangquan was bored and looked at it casually.

 At the first moment, of course, attention was focused on the shopkeeper. Not surprisingly, he had a pretty good figure!

The next moment, his eyes fell on the wall behind the store, which had a few lines of words densely written on it.

“Fu Zhu milk tea is made from high-quality milk source from the first-order monster Fu Zhu Deer. The tea leaves are selected from thousand-year-old tea trees in the Guyuan Mountains and are carefully prepared..."

After reading it, Tang Quan couldn't help but wipe his eyes.

 What kind of drink is this? It has such a great origin!

 Monster milk, thousand-year-old tea leaves, ancient tea recipes, prepared by tea ceremony masters, and only sell a piece of spiritual stone?

Unconsciously, a flowered porcelain cup was handed to him.

 Taking the cup, he got out of the way and came to the square outside.

 Took a sip and it tasted a little strange.

  Rich milk flavor, but light and sweet in the mouth. After drinking it, the fragrance will linger on your lips and teeth.

Thinking of Luo Chen's instructions, he shouted loudly.

 “Delicious!”

 Attracting the attention of the monks nearby.

Tang Quan's eyes lit up and he purposely walked past them. As he walked, he said loudly: "This kind of spiritual tea only costs one spiritual stone for a cup. It's really cheap for me. I will come back to buy a cup tomorrow!"

 After a while, he walked to the corner of the square.

Luo Chen didn't look at him, his eyes fell outside Mixue Bingcheng store.

 In addition to the trustees he sent, there were already one or two strange monks who began to line up at the end of the queue.

Turning around, Luo Chen smiled and patted Tang Quan on the shoulder.

 “Well done!”

 “After a while, go and line up again!”

 Getting complimented by Luo Chen, Tang Quan chuckled.

I took another sip of the hot milk tea, thinking that I might as well try the iced milk tea later and what it would taste like.

 Next, Luo Chen praised several monks in the Alchemy Hall and asked them to keep up their efforts.

Then Luo Chen quietly blended into the crowd and collected feedback from customers.

“It is indeed an ancient tea recipe. It is so compatible with animal milk without any fishy smell.”

“The last time I drank milk was the last time. It’s been a long time since I drank milk, so it felt so bad!”

“Have you noticed that the shopkeeper’s tea ceremony skills are also quite good!”

“Tch, you haven’t discovered the real good thing. Have you seen my cup of steaming milk tea? Do you know what the shopkeeper uses to make the milk tea ice?”

“Didn’t you realize that she actually used a high-grade ice flying sword?”

 “Hiss, are you making milk tea with a high-quality magical utensil?”

"To be honest, I didn't believe in those gimmicks at first, but when I saw her using the cold air of the ice flying sword to cool down, I started to believe it. Without such harsh means, how could she prepare this kind of spiritual tea! "

  Sentence by sentence, Luo Chen collected a lot of feedback.

 After the final summary, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. From the current point of view, the new formula of Fuzhu milk tea is still acceptable to the monks.

 These days, anything related to aura is more or less marketable.

 The cost of Fuzhu milk tea is actually very low.

Animal milk is not valuable, so Ke Yuelin asked him for 300 yuan a month.

Those tea leaves are not valuable either. We found several tea trees in the medicine hall. If that doesn’t work, we can exchange them for other ordinary tea leaves.

As for medicinal materials, Feng Xia can also get high-quality and low-priced materials from her former colleagues.

 In total, the materials costing one spiritual stone can be used to prepare five cups of Fuzhu milk tea.

 After deducting miscellaneous expenses such as rent and customized flower porcelain cups, the profit is still considerable.

“It’s hard to calculate how much spiritual stone you can earn in a month, but if you manage it carefully, you will never lose money.”

Luo Chen had an idea in his mind and no longer focused on it.

Feng Xia is also a female nun with rich experience, and Yuan Xiaoyue is not far away. With the two of them taking care of each other, the shop can always survive.

 Furthermore, when laid-off female cultivators are re-employed, their work enthusiasm cannot be matched by any employee.

He returned to the courtyard leisurely, only to find that someone was already waiting for him.

 Mi Junping was sitting on a stone chair in the yard, with a stinking look on her face.

Opposite her was Duan Feng, who was dragging his body and making medicine. His face was pale.

 “Why are you so unloving? Isn’t it inconvenient that you can’t see the patient?”

Luo Chen trotted over and helped Duan Feng get the hot medicinal soup.

Duan Feng nodded to him and whispered, "This woman has been waiting for you for a long time."

Luo Chen hummed, helped him back to the house, clapped his hands and walked out.

As soon as she saw him coming out, Mi Junping stood up suddenly.

 “Just finish your business!”

“We are scattered cultivators, working hard for the sake of the great road, and we can never finish a busy day.”

"you!"

Mi Junping took a deep breath and patted the storage bag without talking nonsense.

 Five formation flags of different colors appeared in his hands.

 She slapped it on the stone table, sent out a sound transmission, then turned around and left.

“This is the small spirit gathering array that my father lent you. You can take care of it yourself!”

Luo Chen’s eyes lit up, he gathered the spirit formation!

He has admired this name for a long time.

　　I couldn’t put it down and picked up the formation flags, smiling from ear to ear.

 “I must be able to take care of myself, for sure!”

 ….

 ….

 In the room full of medicinal smell, Duan Feng put down the porcelain bowl.

 Feel a heat flowing through your body, gradually spreading to your limbs.

The freezing air that originally filled the body became increasingly scarce.

"Come out!"

 He opened a bag and saw a colorful pheasant coming out.

Pheasants are quite large, almost half a person tall.

As soon as it came out, it lay down next to Duan Feng, without its usual air.

Seeing this scene, Duan Feng sighed.

 I have been injured recently, so I cannot feed this first-order Yangwu chicken. If I have to starve for a while longer, I am afraid I will starve to death.

 From the storage bag, take out a handful of spiritual rice and feed it to Yangwu Chicken.

Duan Feng spat out a few syllables in his mouth, and when he heard the sound, the Yang Wu Chicken cooed twice in response.

Seeing this, Duan Feng no longer hesitated, sat cross-legged on the bed, and started to run the technique.

The Yangwu chicken was pecking at the rice while keeping a watchful eye on the side.

 Thanks to the small bottle of pulse-replenishing liquid given to him by Luo Chen, the wound on his meridians was almost healed.

There is still some cold air left in the body, but it cannot be driven away by just relying on medicinal soup.

 You have to use your spiritual power to expel the cold air as soon as possible, so that you can recover the injuries to your bones and internal organs.

But after the technique had been running for a while, Duan Feng noticed something was wrong.

 “Why is the external spiritual power so thin?”

 …

“Is this the Spirit Gathering Formation?”

Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt refreshed.

Luo Chen fell into deep thought as his eyes fell on the formation flags surrounding him in five directions.

 This small spirit gathering array has a very simple activation method.

 Just put five spiritual stones into the end of the formation flag, and then you can use it about ten times.

Once activated, the formation flag will actively absorb the nearby loose spiritual energy of heaven and earth and confine it in a small area.

 Monks practicing in this area will get twice the result with half the effort.

"But most of the spiritual energy in the inner city has been swallowed up by those sect forces. Even if I use a small spirit gathering formation, I can't steal it from them."

 The sect’s spirit gathering array would only be better than the one Mi Shuhua gave him.

Even though he had just tested it, Luo Chen only felt that the concentration of spiritual energy around him was three to four points higher than usual.

 It was another effect of the spirit gathering array that made Luo Chen a little excited.

“Aura can be divided into yin and yang, but it also has attributes of the five elements. In this spirit gathering array, as long as you use the manipulation technique and use one of the formation flags as the main one, you can actively absorb the corresponding single five-element aura.”

“My natal Kung Fu is Changchun Kung Fu, which belongs to the Wood Element.”

“If I use a small spirit gathering array to convert a large amount of wood attribute spiritual energy in a place with abundant spiritual energy, then when I practice, the effect will be extremely good!”

 As for the place where spiritual energy is abundant, Luo Chen has one.

 That is the Spirit Vein Cave under Xieyue Valley.

That is a branch of the first-order spiritual vein in Luofeng Mountain, which is usually enough to support his solo practice.

 What if the small spirit gathering array is used again?

 ….

 That evening, Feng Xia returned to the yard excitedly and met Luo Chen.

 “This is today’s profit!”

 “A total of two hundred spiritual stones!”

 “Luo Chen, the milk tea shop is actually so profitable!”

But soon, Luo Chen poured cold water on her.

 He said that some of the guests were brought in by him, and those were the shills.

 When Mixue Ice City has a stable customer base in the future, these shills will be removed.

“After deducting these one hundred spiritual stones, the rest is today’s income.”

“And not every day, there will be popular games like today, and the profits will not be as high as today.”

 After hearing these words, Feng Xia's excited mood calmed down.

But even so, she was also very happy.

Luo Chen took away a hundred spiritual stones and left the rest with Feng Xia.

 “The income from the store will be settled every month from now on.”

“I will arrange for people to deliver various raw materials to the store.”

“From now on, I’ll be bothering you, Sister Xia.”

 Feng Xia quickly shook her head, "It's not troublesome. After all, I also earn spiritual stones."

Not only that, Luo Chen’s eyes were also full of gratitude.

Luo Chen is not too relieved about this version of "Mixue Ice City" in the world of immortality.

 Just like Chenyue Food Stall, it was just a small business he started casually.

 His main business still has to be on alchemy.

Compared to the benefits of refining alchemy, which can easily be several times or dozens of times, whether it is snacks or milk tea, they all pale in comparison.

 Therefore, just like Chenyue Snack Stall, Luo Chen also gave Feng Xia a share of the milk tea shop’s dividends in addition to his fixed salary.

 Not much, only 5%, just to stimulate her enthusiasm for work.

 “What about these magical weapons?”

 Feng Xia took out three magical instruments, a pot, a ball, and a sword.

 Tonbo Nahai Kettle, Heavenly Sound Ball, Ice-type high-grade flying sword.

“I’ll leave it all to you. After all, it’s needed to open a shop. I will try my best to find a magic weapon that can be heated in the future, so that you don’t need to activate the fireball spell all the time.”

 Using fireball to prepare milk tea also consumes spiritual energy.

 The same goes for activating Feijian to cool down.

This is also the reason why Luo Chen wants to pay dividends to Feng Xia. He earns too little, and compared with the consumption of spiritual power, he cannot make ends meet.

“If the milk tea shop takes off, we may recruit people in the future, and then you will be the real shopkeeper.”

Luo Chen smiled slightly.

 Next, I discussed some precautions in the store with Feng Xia.

Specially told her to regularly send some milk tea to the monks in the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion.

Whether they like it or not, the attitude must be there.

 Normally you can’t tell what is good or bad, but at critical moments, if others like you, they will always help you.

 ….

 The second day!

At the gate of the city, Luo Chen, who changed into a high-grade blue robe and a white fox coat, set foot on the road to Xianyue Valley under the **** of two bodyguards.

Flying slowly in the sky, Luo Chen expressed condolences to Liu Qiang, who had returned from injury, and then looked back and forth.

Perceiving his gaze, Zhou Yuanli explained in a low voice:

“Two brothers are scouting ahead to rule out an ambush and setting a trap.”

“I’ve arranged for Dongfang Liang to go to the back and be responsible for looking for anyone to follow.”

Luo Chen gave a thumbs up. His bodyguards are becoming more and more proficient in their work!

From Zhou Yuanli's mouth, he also learned that Mi Shuhua had issued a high-grade Qimen magic weapon, which was specially used to detect large-scale spiritual power fluctuations.

 This made Luo Chen even more relieved.

If someone sets a formation trap in advance, it will be difficult to cover up the fluctuations in spiritual power.

 If it is detected in advance, he will not step in.

“It seems that Mi Shuhua really put a lot of thought into me!”

Luo Chen sighed inwardly.

 Soon, they arrived at Xieyue Valley.

 Several bodyguards were hiding in the dark, keeping an eye on him.

 The other group of people came out of the valley to meet Luo Chen.

Looking at familiar people such as Qu Hancheng and Mi Li, Luo Chen didn't waste any time and waved his hand.

 “Start refining the chalcedony pill, all departments should get busy!”

With the order given, everyone started to move.

Even the most casual alchemist cleans each jade bottle and is ready to contain the refined elixir at any time.

Luo Chen looked at Dantang who was regaining his vitality and couldn't help but nodded secretly.

 It’s time to get busy!

 After such a long period of failure and the investment of so many resources, the benefits of the Chalcedony Pill have begun to bear fruit.

With the blessing of his current master-level proficiency, low-grade chalcedony pills and mid-grade chalcedony pills are almost at hand.

Even if it is a high-grade Chalcedony Pill, if he is willing, he can have a 50% success rate.

  It can be said that Dantang, which has suffered losses for a long time, is about to usher in a harvest.

 This point can be seen from the fact that Mi Shuhua repeatedly expressed the importance he attached to Luo Chen.

 In fact, it is precisely because of this capital that Luo Chen dares to "rely on favor and be arrogant".

He didn't even have to say anything himself, Mi Shuhua sent the small spirit gathering array again and increased his security.

“Perhaps the person Mi Shuhua values ​​most in the entire Poshan Gang right now, apart from Mi Junping, is me.”

"No!"

“For Mi Shuhua, who is eager to form elixirs, perhaps the value of his relatives is lower than mine!”

Luo Chen stepped into the alchemy room and put down the Four Elephants Cauldron, thinking this in his mind.
