Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 733: Chapter 303: This child is extremely cunning, every move he makes must have profound implications! _1

In the end, this pot of Netherworld Evil Qi, enough for thousands of uses, fell into Wang Yuan’s hands.

However, the price was stupefying.

A total of thirty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones—enough to buy an entry-level Lower Grade Magic Tool like the Xuanhuo Sword.

This thing really should not have sold for so much.

In the end, it’s just a Second Order Material, and it doesn’t have many uses.

The only advantage, which could also be seen as a disadvantage, is that it’s incredibly rare.

The rarer the item, the more expensive it becomes. Plus, this pot had quite a large volume, which contributed to its high price.

Once he got his hands on it, Wang Yuan didn’t particularly care about the rest of the items.

He was eager to leave immediately and ask Luo Chen to start Pill Refinement for him.

But Luo Chen stopped him, continuing to participate in the rest of the auction.

“Do you want anything else?” Wang Yuan asked, puzzled.

Luo Chen pointed to a name on the list.

“A Daoist robe?”

Wang Yuan was confused, “Didn’t you spend a ton of money to buy a Red Cloud Robe from Tianyi Building? Do you have too many Spirit Stones and nowhere to spend them, so you’re buying another top grade one for a change of clothes?”

Luo Chen shook his head and smiled.

Although he usually dressed well and presented himself nicely.

He wasn’t one to flaunt his wealth.

However, as a sect leader, he needed to have a certain level of presentability.

He couldn’t possibly wear ragged clothes when negotiating with others, right?

It would be disrespectful to himself and to others.

The same applied for Sima Hui Niang, as a person in power, she also needed to have the appropriate appearance.

“This is for Hui Niang. I haven’t given her a congratulatory gift for her Foundation Establishment.”

Wang Yuan opened his mouth, but didn’t say anything.

Instead, his eyes revealed a hint of warmth.

After spending a long time together, he had already completely understood Luo Chen’s personality.

Luo Chen gained substantial benefits from the efforts of the hundreds of cultivators under his command, which allowed him to rapidly increase his own cultivation level.

However, he did not just exploit them.

On the contrary, within his abilities, he treated his subordinates extremely well.

Before their Foundation Establishment, he gave careful instruction and reminders.

After their Foundation Establishment, he was not stingy in congratulating them.

When Wang Yuan completed his Foundation Establishment, Luo Chen immediately gifted him Huo Hu’s storage bag, which he had just managed to open. Considering Luo Chen’s strength at the early stages of Foundation Establishment at the time, opening a True Cultivator’s storage bag would have taken a lot of time and effort.

Later on, at the Tian Lan auction, he purchased Body Refinement Methods for Wang Yuan.

Weren’t these all congratulatory gifts?

Luo Chen was probably also very generous to Duan Feng and Min Longyu.

To say the least, Min Longyu’s Magic Item Array Disk was obviously valuable.

It was assuredly not something that Min Longyu could have afforded or had enough connections to buy.

“It seems that when he completed his Foundation Establishment, we really didn’t give him any gifts.”

Wang Yuan lowered his head and silently thought.

While he was pondering, Luo Chen had already joined the auction for the Top Grade Defensive Robe.

The Ice Jade Robe!

A product of Tianyi Building.

It was crafted using a small amount of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice from Ice Castle, an abundance of Li Qing Jade, complemented by many special types of silk from the Tianyi District’s Chen Family.

The original intention was to create a Daoist robe Magic Item.

However, due to a Fourth Stage material, Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice, the process failed.

As it happened, Luo Chen’s Ice Royal Tripod was also a success and a failure because of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice.

It seemed that Ice Castle didn’t have a good way of handling this Fourth Order Material they had.

Every Magic Item they attempted to craft with it almost always ended in failure.

However, although it was a failure, it did not diminish the power of a Top Grade Magic Tool.

Under Shi Boying’s introduction and demonstration, this Ice Jade Robe displayed excellent defensive capabilities.

The robe was entirely crystalline white, with slight embellishments of Li Qing color.

It seemed as if the composition of the main materials had been completely reversed.

In the end, Luo Chen spent nine thousand Spirit Stones to secure it!

This was the most expensive Top Grade Magic Tool Luo Chen had ever bought in his history!

And it wasn’t even for his own use.

Wang Yuan watched as Luo Chen, looking pained, pulled out the Spirit Stones. He couldn’t help but laugh.

“Why pretend to be fat by slapping your swollen face.”

Luo Chen rolled his eyes, “Am I someone who lacks these eighteen thousand Spirit Stones? It’s just a small amount of money!”

This was what he said.

But he couldn’t help complaining to Shi Boying after the auction ended.

“You really slaughtered us today!”

Shi Boying responded helplessly, “It’s not my intention. If I could, why would I make things difficult for you? These resources were all handed down by a Golden Core Ascendant Master in our sect. If we don’t auction them at an appropriate price, we will be punished.”

So that’s how it was!

Luo Chen asked out of curiosity, “Was it a Golden Core Ascendant Master from your Jueqing’s Clan?”

“How could it be!”

Shi Boying sighed, “It was Ascendant Master Bo Shuang!”

Under her casual explanation, Luo Chen finally understood the current situation in Ice Castle.

One Late Golden Core Stage, two Middle Stage Golden Core, and six Early Stage Golden Core cultivators.

Nine Golden Cores divided into the Five Clans of Ice Castle.

Originally, Jueqing’s Clan had a fair amount of power, but after Jueqing Fairy personally killed her treacherous Golden Core Companion, their power greatly declined, at one point becoming the weakest clan.

They were even dispatched to Tian Lan Immortal City.

Officially, they were there to guard the city, but it was actually more of an exile. They had been excluded from Ice Castle’s core power structure.

That Ascendant Master Bo Shuang was one of the two Middle Stage Golden Core cultivators.

He was very powerful!

Tasks assigned by him couldn’t be refused by Shi Boying and the others.

The complex internal power struggle gave Luo Chen a headache.

However, he finally understood why Jueqing Fairy valued his Jade Dew Pill so much.

This pill could help her enhance the power of Jueqing’s Clan as much as possible.

If she could cultivate another Golden Core Ascendant Master, she would have a chance to re-enter the core of Ice Castle.
