Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 606: The Royal Family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Encountering a Dragon at the Bottom of the Lake

 “See, I have seen it.”

Looking back on the short half-day meeting just now, the master of Moyun Cave was well-informed and secretly admired the manner of speaking and state of mind shown by the other party.

“Even though he is a casual cultivator, Demon Lord Qingyang’s magnanimity is not inferior to that of other heroes, and he is no less generous than Taoist friend Huangfu!”

 A word spoken from the heart.

 fell into Huangfu Song's ears, but it was quite harsh.

"My Huangfu lineage is the descendant of the royal family that was the most powerful dynasty in Beihai at that time. I am just a casual cultivator. Even if I am called the so-called Demon King, how can I be compared with me!"

"oh?"

Moyun Cave Master looked at him with a smile but not a smile, and said:

“Since he is so out of touch with fellow Taoists, why do you need to make so many remarks in front of me and exaggerate what he can do?”

“Could it be that fellow Taoist Huangfu is deliberately provoking? Huh?”

“If we really want him to establish a firm foothold, then the title of the number one caster of the Ten Thousand Immortals Society will be taken away by this person.”

“Fellow Taoist Huangfu, you are really worrying too much.”

 “Let’s end this matter here!”

"The dynasty big country model is not suitable for practitioners of our generation. In the past, the Great Zhou Dynasty could survive because of the support of the Yuan Mo Sect. The Yuan Mo Sect can succeed and fail because of the Yuan Mo Sect. They can destroy you with a snap of their fingers, and other forces will naturally follow suit. able."

“Although it is exquisite, it has lost the essence of the formation.”

“But what if this person is clumsy in his speech?”

It was clear that this master who was famous for his craftsmanship in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association did not have such verbal skills before, but now he was engaged in this tit-for-tat battle with him.

Moyun Cave Master put away his smile and looked seriously at the purple-robed man in front of him.

 He shook his head and sighed.

On the other hand, Moyun Cave Master stopped and turned to look at him.

Huangfusong's heart skipped a beat, and the corners of his mouth tightened unconsciously.

The last "um" and the drawn-out tone made the smile become a little more permeable.

Or maybe he doesn’t know how to make tools and doesn’t know how to answer the question.

“Of course, as far as the cave master is concerned, a mere reputation will not matter to him. But in our practice, our reputation is a golden signboard. It involves many interests and will even affect our practice.”

Huangfu Song was unwilling to give up and quickly followed.

 Half a while.

But obviously, after thinking about it on the way back, Moyun Cave Master gradually realized that he might have been used as a weapon by Huangfu Song.

Seeing Moyun Cave Master chuckle, Huangfu Song tried to make amends.

In just half a day in Penghu, what on earth did he and the Demon Lord Qingyang talk about?

He didn’t know that people like Moyun Cave Master, who had worked his way up through the ranks of casual cultivators relying on one skill, didn’t understand verbal disputes. In fact, after reaching a certain point, they were too lazy to care about it.

However, seeing that the other party looked calm, there was not much pretense.



Under his gaze, Huangfu Song reluctantly said: "How can I be such a conspiratorial person! Fellow Taoist, I really misunderstood."

Huangfu Song opened his mouth, but for a moment, he couldn't refute.

"You are worrying too much. I briefly discussed the experience related to casting with Qingyangzi. Although this person has a solid foundation, his knowledge is extremely mixed. He has not even found his own style, how can he talk about being a master? He is not a master. , how can it threaten my position in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association?"

 After saying that, he walked towards the depths of the clouds and mist.

Even Huangfu Song himself almost believed it to be true.

"hehe."

 The more you speak, the smoother your words become.

“In my humble opinion, Taoist friend Huangfu, instead of focusing on these trivial matters, it is better to concentrate on cultivation.”

“Haha, words can deceive people, but the works he made cannot be hidden from my eyes.”

"Qingyangzi's most famous magic weapon at present is just a high-grade Nine Yang True Fire Shield. After repeated deductions, I discovered that this treasure is actually a variant of the Nine-turn Flame Dragon Formation in the second-order formation. ”

“It’s because of this incident that I have warned fellow Taoists many times not to let this person get bigger.”

Moyun Cave Master is full of confidence and quite scornful.

 Huangfusong’s complexion changed slightly.

"Fellow Taoist, are you really not afraid that Demon Lord Qingyang will grow bigger and affect your magical artifact business in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association? You must know that there are hundreds of monks under your command in Moyundong who rely on you. Even if you don't care, But those people…”

However, Moyun Cave Master knew very well that it was a simple matter for monks of their age to control facial expressions and expression fluctuations before encountering a major event, but he would not fully believe Huangfu Song's words.

“With his current skill in casting, he will not pose a threat to me for at least a hundred years.”

Moyun Cave Master caught this change in expression.

“This person has a lot of experience in formations. He arranged these second-level top attack formations backwards to form a defensive weapon.”

Moyun Cave Master raised his right hand and interrupted his words.

“It is true that I heard that this person is good at manipulating public opinion. First he was suspected of exaggerating his resume, and then in just a few years, he used the method of promoting the name of Qingyangzi, the master of casting.”

"I heard that Daoist Brother has been working hard to gather the old people of the Great Zhou Dynasty in recent years, trying to restore the prosperity of the dynasty. I think you have gathered a large number of talents under your command now, and you are in urgent need of a large spiritual place for these people. People practice!"

“With your talent, the legacy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the support of fellow Taoist disciples of the Purple Queen, you may be able to achieve the Nascent Soul Path better than we can.”

 At this point, he raised his hand.

“That’s all, Taoist friends don’t need to come to my Moyun Cave recently. I have accepted an order from an old friend and have no time to get away.”

After speaking, he slowly disappeared into the depths of the clouds.

This time, Huangfusong did not catch up.

Standing where he was, the man's face looked uncertain.

Finally, he glanced bitterly at the direction Moyun Cave Master left.

“This old guy usually looks very quiet, but he is very considerate in dealing with others. He has obviously discovered that I am using him as a gunman, so he kindly reminded me.”

 I cursed secretly in my heart, but I really didn’t bear any grudge against the master of Shangmoyun Cave.

The words the other party said can be considered true.

but!

How could Huangfu Song give up half of his great work!

Especially, the world is in chaos and the North Sea is turbulent. This is an excellent opportunity for him to fish in troubled waters and establish his own power.

 It’s not that he is greedy for power.

 In fact, it is not so easy to break through the Nascent Soul stage when you are alone.

 Purple Queen?

 That elder himself has been stuck in the ninth level of the Golden Core for many years, unable to move forward. The so-called method of obtaining the support of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association with the help of demon hunters is a castle in the air, and the final nine stars cannot be raised alive or dead.

Since the other party has too much time to take care of himself, how can we give him more support?

Only by cultivating forces, networking talents, and establishing a force of your own can you collect enough resources for him. Finally, with the help of the legacy of the Zhou Dynasty, can there be any chance of having a baby.

Thinking of this, Huangfusong felt very bad.

These things are simple to say, but they get stuck on the first step.

 To cultivate influence and network talents, there must be a stable gate, so that those people can feel at ease!

Eight Hundred Miles Penghu was a perfect spiritual place for him, which allowed him to spend a short period of time in the early stages of starting a business.

I didn’t expect that after I went out for a trip, Penghu would be occupied by people when I came back.

It would have been just an ordinary casual cultivator, but that person was Demon Lord Qingyang, a ruthless and daring person.

Verbal threats will definitely not make this person give up Penghu.

 He originally thought that as a casual cultivator, he would not have much financial resources.

He borrowed a knife to kill someone, and asked Moyun Cave Master to come forward and cut off the other party's magic weapon business, which was a stable source of income.

 Once the five years are up, the other party cannot renew the lease. After all his savings are exhausted, he can take over the 800-mile Penghu without any effort.

 Obviously, this plan failed.

 Huangfusong no longer wants to wait any longer.

 “If the dark one doesn’t work, let’s use the bright one!”

"The Qingyang Demon Lord is alone. When I come to visit him, he has no choice but to give in."

Thinking about the future, Huangfusong's irritable mood dissipated a lot, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

 …

 In the Xingdou Hall of Pengdao.

Tianxuan hurriedly stepped in, and for a moment, she was shocked by the gorgeous scene of Xingdou Hall.

 But soon, she, who had long been familiar with this arrangement, came back to her senses.

“Master, this is the information you want. I got it from the Monster Hunting Department for you, and Lord Diaosou gave it to me personally.”

 “Did he have anything else to say to you?”

Luo Chen took a pile of thick bamboo slips and placed them on the desk.

Tianxuan nodded, "I have something to tell you. Diaosou has encountered problems with body training, and I would like to make an appointment to communicate with you."

 This was not beyond Luo Chen’s expectations.

Physical refining seems to be simple, but it is just an accumulation of resources.

 In fact, every level still has some thresholds.

 He ​​and Luo Chen all found their ways along the way. During this period, they had guidance and exchanges with mentors and friends like Wang Yuan. In the end, they even relied on the system to reach where they are now.

 It is impossible for Diaosou to achieve anything easily.

If it really succeeds, then it will be the achievement of Luo Chen’s hundreds of years of hard work!

“Next time you go to Longyuan Fairy City, tell Diaosou that I have the time and he can make an appointment with you at the location.”

Tianxuan hummed, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something.

“Master, our five-year lease in Penghu is coming up. Diaosou asked us if we want to renew?”

 “Continue! Why not continue?”

Luo Chen smiled. As for the nine million spirit stones he needed, he was not in short supply right now.

 There were eighteen million ready-made spiritual stones alone before. Even if half of them were taken out, half would still be left.

Although the remaining half is only enough to support another five years, Luo Chen is not in a hurry.

It's not that his newly opened magic weapon business can bring him much profit. Those businesses only make hundreds of thousands of pocket money throughout the year. This income can only make him break even in the art of casting.

His real confidence lies in the fact that he still has a batch of supplies on hand. Those were the trophies he captured during the battle on Lengguang Island.

 Various resources, miscellaneous magic weapons that are not used, and even some unpopular objects.

These things are on your hands and have not been dealt with yet.

 But Luo Chen estimated that if he really got rid of it, it would bring him 10 to 20 million spiritual stone income.

  It is also the lifelong wealth of several Jindan monks.

Especially, there is Qian Ting, the leader of the Jindan family!

 These spiritual stones would be enough for him to rent Penghu for 20 to 30 years.

Twenty or thirty years later, whether it is the improved magic weapon business or returning to the old business of elixir business, it will be enough to support his practice.

  Anyway, Luo Chen is not worried about the spiritual stone problem in the short term.

 After Tianxuan leaves.

Luo Chen opened a scroll of bamboo slips.

 Enter Yixing, [History of Beihai Dynasty Change—Da Zhou]

 Down:

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies you. Although the monks among them have a domineering style, they still have the style of ascetic practitioners. The required resources shall be paid by the Yuanying Sect below as tribute every year. In addition, there are also secular dynasties directly under the Yuan Mo Sect that manage basic resources for them. Qian, Zhuang, Zhou, Yong, etc. were all temporary vassals. Most of these dynasties are Jindan forces, controlled by the true disciples of Yuanmo Sect, and can also be regarded as places of experience. As for the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is an anomaly. The so-called anomaly is that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, a real Yuanying was quietly born...]

Luo Chen frowned gradually as he looked at the simple and straightforward information on the bamboo slip.

He is not unfamiliar with this model of sects controlling secular countries.

For example, when we were in the Yuding Territory, there was a Yuanzhao Kingdom under the jurisdiction of Qingdan Valley.

 As far as he knows, most other sects also control several large and small secular dynasties.

The main role of these secular countries, apart from multiplying the population and providing seedlings with spiritual roots and qualifications for cultivating immortals, is to collect some common but high-demand basic resources for large sects.

 However, the Zhou Dynasty in this bamboo slip obviously goes beyond the definition of an ordinary secular dynasty.

“Did our ancestors actually have a real Yuanying?”

 …

“Hurry up, hurry up!”

“The owner of the family has told us that this batch of fry must be released at fixed points, and the quantity in each area must be controlled.”

"Take it easy. This is a golden dragon carp. When it reaches adulthood, it is a first-level monster. If it is well tamed, there is still a chance to advance to the second level. If you destroy one of the fry, be prepared to pay at least five hundred souls. Shiba!”

“Don’t tell me that the fry is not worth five hundred spiritual stones. What I’m telling you is a first-level golden dragon carp that will grow into adulthood!”

On the vast lake, small boats were swimming in all directions, with Cailian Island as the center.

Every time it passes a ten-mile radius, a batch of fish fry will be released at a fixed point.

At the same time, there are people spreading a large amount of feed downwards.

Those feeds are made from herbs containing spiritual energy, ground into powder and then blended. They are one of the favorite foods of the golden dragon carp fry.

 Long-term use can speed up growth and reach adulthood as soon as possible.

These feeds are also very expensive!

For this great breeding business, Zhang Jiadi spent all his capital, but he still couldn't make up a tenth of it.

At the critical moment, it was Fairy Tianxuan on Pengdao who took action and injected 500,000 spiritual stones, so that the scale of the first batch of golden dragon carp breeding could be achieved.

 With such a heavy investment, it really can’t be careless at all.

For this reason, the Zhang family from Cailian Island came out in full force!

Except for Wenxiu who needs to be stationed at Qingyang in Longyuan Immortal City, all the other monks, from foundation builders to mortal warriors, are all out.

 Zhang Jiadi was sitting in a small boat and carefully dropped a batch of fry himself.

 When he straightened up, his face was filled with a hopeful smile.

The meat of golden dragon carp is extremely delicious and contains a lot of spiritual energy. It is one of the favorite spiritual meals of Beihai cultivators.

If it weren't for the harsh growing environment and the cultivation must be done in a place with abundant spiritual energy, its status would probably have caught up with the spiritual rice.

 Originally, he had no such idea.

Had he not learned the details of his master's battle on Lengguang Island from a casual conversation with a guest on the Qingyang, he would not have thought of this.

It is said that the battle took place in the golden dragon carp fishing ground of a Jindan family.

 Because that battle was so destructive, all the golden dragon carp in the fishery died tragically, and the subsequent impact was quite widespread. There was a shortage of golden dragon carp, and the price of golden dragon carp on the market soared several times.

　After finding out the details, he came up with this idea.

 Eight hundred miles of Penghu Lake has excellent water quality, full of spiritual energy, and numerous aquatic plants under the lake, making it extremely suitable for golden dragon carp breeding.

No one has done this before. Firstly, no one understands the method of domestication. Secondly, the start-up capital is too high. Thirdly, casual cultivators are used to living in no fixed place, wandering around and rarely have a fixed industry, so they let Eight Hundred Miles of Penghu is vacant.

 But these problems are nothing to the Zhang family, which wants to pass on the family model of cultivating immortals.

Especially, his wife Wenxiu knows how to domesticate arowana!

After consulting Fairy Tianxuan for instructions, the great cause of domesticating dragons and carp began with great fanfare.

"Although the main venue and spiritual stones are provided by the Lord, I, the Zhang family, can also share 10% of the profits with the help of people."

“When the scale increases in the future, the 10% profit will be tens of thousands a year.”

Zhang Jiadi had a smile on his face, as if he had seen the beautiful scene of casting a big net and collecting countless lively adult golden dragons and carps.

 Suddenly.

 He seemed to remember something and looked around.

 “Where’s Qingqing?”

A low-ranking monk next to her replied: "The young lady went out to play on the white puppet horse you gave her. She didn't get on the boat just now."

“Running out to play again?” Zhang Jiadi frowned. He would not have given that small gift if he had known better.

That little white horse is a second-level puppet. It has the ability to fly across waves and fly in the air.

 It is easy to operate and is actually one of the flying tools for Beihai cultivators.

Especially after installing the spirit stone, you only need to press the trigger, and even a mortal can control it.

Although my daughter is less than five years old, she is already bright and lively.

 After getting the white horse, he was homeless all day long.

“Master, do you want me to find the young lady?”

 “Let her run wild!”

 Zhang Jiadi shook his head. Anyway, he was playing on the 800-mile Penghu Lake, and with the protection method given by Fairy Tianxuan, as long as he did not collide with the Pengdao where the master practiced, there would be no big problem.

 When you're done here, just go and find her yourself.

 This is probably how fathers take care of their children!

Especially since these eight hundred miles of Penghu are within the scope of the family, and Zhang Jiadi has to be busy with the family's livelihood, he might as well let the little guy play by himself.

 …

 On the calm lake, green lotus leaves are endless, endless.

 Some pink flower buds are in bud.

 Suddenly, a breeze blew by.

 Soon, a figure rushed out from the depths of the lotus leaves.

 “Drive! Drive! Drive!”

The childish voice sounded cheerfully, and to a rough listen, it was almost indistinguishable from male to female.

 A little girl carved in pink and jade, riding a white horse, riding on the waves, moving forward rapidly.

After leaving the large area of ​​lotus leaves, she opened her hand and threw it back.

brush!

 A paper kite flies into the wind.

The little girl's eyes were extremely excited. She grabbed the white horse with one hand and the wooden handle of the paper kite with the other. She felt that the speed was not fast enough.

 She twisted the mechanism on her white horse.

 “Hurry up, horse, faster!”

“If my mother finds out, I won’t be allowed to play like this.”

 As the machine turned, the speed of the white horse became faster and faster. Gradually, the little girl felt the difficulty.

Even though she has been nourished by elixirs since she was a child, and has been increasingly infiltrated with spiritual energy, which has made her strong and healthy at a young age, in the final analysis, she is just a child less than five years old.

 Without restraint, the kite suddenly rose up and the handle instantly fell into the water.

 The little girl was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously turned around to catch him.

There was only a popping sound.

 The little girl fell into the water.

 After falling into the water, the little girl struggled quickly, and countless lake water rushed towards her from all directions.

 As soon as he touched the body, he was bounced away by a cyan light shield.

"Huh?"

 The little girl was stunned and took something out of her arms.

 It was a feather, a gift from Aunt Tianxuan, who often came to the house.

At this moment, layers of green light spread out on the feathers, slowly pushing the lake water away.

 “Interesting!”

 The girl became more and more excited, and she didn't even care about the falling white horse.

With her big eyes rolling, she held the feather and dived to the bottom of the lake.

“My mother has never let me go into the water. Well, today I’m going to go down and see what’s in it.”

Holding the feathers, the little girl was like a small swimming fish, constantly diving.

As we dive deeper and deeper, the pressure of the lake increases, but all of this seems to be invisible under the blue light.

Unconsciously, the little girl felt a little tired.

Just when she wanted to turn around, her body suddenly stiffened.

"what is that?"

Deep at the bottom of the lake, two lantern-like lights suddenly bloomed.
