Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 734: Chapter 303: This child is extremely cunning, every move he makes must have profound implications! _2

As for the Jueqing Fairy, who personally slew her Dao Companion Cultivator and even earned the Dao name of Jueqing, Luo Chen was particularly interested.

Unfortunately, such gossip was not something Shi Boying dared to talk about much.

Luo Chen only knew from her that the Golden Core Cultivator who was killed was named “Shang Yun”.

While chatting about the gossip, Luo Chen also purchased some of the materials he needed in the Xuelian Hall.

Materials like Huan You Grass required to refine the Tongyou Pill and the First Order Demon Fox Blood, which were considered Ice Castle’s specialties and were quite abundant in stock.

As he was about to leave, Luo Chen seemed to remember something at the last moment.

He slapped his forehead, and took out a jade bottle from his storage bag.

“Friend Shi, thanks to your favorable remarks, Friend Dantai was able to protect me secretly last time.”

“I forgot to thank you before.”

“This is a small gift, a token of my appreciation.”

Shi Boying’s eyes lit up, and she silently accepted the jade bottle.

It must be another Jade Dew Pill!

Accepting bribes was something that only happened the first time and countless times.

Now, she was quite accustomed to this operation.

After personally sending Luo Chen out of the main door of the Xuelian Hall, Shi Boying became even more enthusiastic.

“Safe travels, my friend!”

Luo Chen waved his hand with a smile and disappeared into the sea of people with Wang Yuan.

After he left, the corners of Shi Boying’s mouth curved upwards involuntarily.

Her elderly face was full of smiles.

Of all the cultivators she had met over the years, Luo Chen was the most principled and admirable.

In his dealings with others, he was truly meticulous and careful.

“Probably only such a person could carve out his own territory step by step without any support.”

With a sigh, she went upstairs to count today’s earnings.

As she passed by the counter, she saw Qiu Liangyue busy with customers and couldn’t help but frown.

She didn’t really like this disciple who, like herself, was a rogue cultivator by origin and had luckily joined Jueqing’s Clan.

She hadn’t noticed it before.

But after comparing him with Luo Chen, the difference was just too great.

He was not principled at all!

Qiu Liangyue was busy attending to customers and seemed not to notice her displeasure.

But after she left, Qiu Liangyue looked up from the counter, her face full of bitterness.

She was no stranger to Shi Boying’s displeasure. Being a long-time rogue cultivator who had seen all kinds of people, how could she not know?

More than that, it was not only Shi Boying.

The other Foundation Establishment Disciples of the Jueqing Clan also showed her few friendly faces.

Against all this, she was powerless.

She even felt a hint of regret about joining the Ice Castle.

It was not as convenient as she had imagined, and the care she had hoped for was not forthcoming.

All she got were scornful cold stares.

And an endless stream of trivial and useless chores.

With her current condition, forming a Golden Core was a pipe dream.

“I thought that being transferred from the District City Steward to the Immortal City, closer to Ascendant Master Jueqing, I would receive special attention.”

“But I never expected that I have not even seen him once.”

“On the other hand, rogue cultivators like Luo Chen and Wang Yuan, who were like me at the beginning, are not only fish in the water in Immortal City, but they are also highly respected.”

“Did I make the wrong choice?”

As she was muttering to herself, hurried footsteps came from the staircase.

Then she saw Shi Boying running down in a hurry.

“Sister, what’s wrong?”

“It’s none of your business, guard the Xuelian Hall, I need to see Sister Dantai!”

Shi Boying said without turning her head, and then disappeared into the sea of people outside the hall.

Qiu Liangyue opened her mouth and shook her head helplessly.

Once again, it was an example of her making advances only to be rebuffed.

The Ice Castle Cultivators were really cold, like they couldn’t be warmed up.

…

Within the snowy Immortal Mansion.

Dan Taijun held a snow-white pill in his fingers, and even her always cold face couldn’t help but show some emotion.

“Medium Grade Jade Dew Pill!”

“Yes, it is!” Shi Boying could not hide her excitement and continued, “As soon as I got this, I brought it here immediately. Sister, should we inform the master directly?”

Even though she was transferred to Tianlan Immortal City, Jueqing Fairy rarely managed general affairs.

Instead, she delegated all power to Dan Taijun, her most favored disciple with the highest cultivation level.

Unless it was a major issue, she rarely ventured out.

Only Dan Taijun could contact her.

Suppressing her excitement, Dan Taijun asked calmly, “Was this from Luo Chen?”

Shi Boying felt like she had been doused with cold water, her excitement instantly disappeared.

Her pale face looked a bit embarrassed.

“Yes.”

“In this bottle of elixir, there are basically all Lower Grade Jade Dew Pills, and a Medium Grade one mixed in.”

“It’s probably that he accidentally put it in when he was collecting the pills in a careless moment.”

“He probably doesn’t even know about it himself!”

Dan Taijun gave a noncommittal hum to this conjecture.

There might be a possibility.

But it’s slim.

Given Luo Chen’s shrewdness, he wouldn’t make such a foolish mistake.

This situation is more likely deliberate.

So, what was his purpose?

Prove that he has the ability to refine Medium Grade Jade Dew Pills?

Use this as an opportunity to ask for more benefits?

Or more powerful protection?

Or does he have hidden intentions?

Before she had figured out these purposes, she didn’t dare to report it to her master.

She knew her master’s character very well.

Ordinary people would not dare to provoke her.

When her master’s Dao Companion showed signs of betraying the Ice Castle, the Ice Castle’s Supreme Elder wanted to handle it, but the master ended it all with her own hands.

If she brought something she was not sure about to disturb her, it would be unwise.
