Chapter 38 Damn Monopoly Dog (please follow up) Wearing black clothes, black trousers, and a black gauze mask, Luo Chen stepped into the door of the house and looked behind him cautiously. The dark and clean alley was silent. Luo Chen walked behind the door and stood silently for a while. “No one is following me.” Luo Chen was relieved when he made sure that he was not being followed when he returned home. Low-level monks actually don't have many concealment methods, and even less tracking methods, and they often have to resort to talismans. So, as long as you are careful, it is easy to find out if someone is following you. Since he has been noticed by the people from the Dajiang Gang, Luo Chen has made up his mind to be more careful when entering and leaving in the future. As soon as he turned around, Luo Chen suddenly became stiff and his hair stood on end.
In the corner of the wall, a figure with long hair reaching his waist and wearing white clothes was standing there quietly. Luo Chen swallowed, it couldn't be a ghost! But soon, he relaxed. It’s a human being! “Why haven’t they sprouted after two months?” The woman in white seemed to be talking to herself. “Could it be that the herb collector gave me false hydrangea seeds?” ifies A cough sounded from the door, and the woman turned around. “Fellow Taoist Luo Chen?” “Fellow Taoist Fu Xiuxiu?” "Um" Turns out he is a neighbor in the east wing! Luo Chen walked up to her and asked curiously: "What are you doing?" Fu Xiuxiu said distressedly: "I bought hydrangea seeds for a piece of spiritual stone and planted them for two months. When I went home this time, I thought I would see flower seedlings, but there was nothing." Luo Chen followed her gaze and looked at the corner area suspiciously. Isn’t this the place where I usually practice fireball and entanglement techniques? Seeds? He even replaced the soil and rocks dozens of times!
With a dry laugh, Luo Chen said dryly: "Maybe he's just acclimatized!" Fu Xiuxiu sighed and could only nod helplessly. “The Yin Qi here is a bit strong, and several of the flowers and plants I planted are not growing well. Plus, I’m often away from home, and they’re almost dying.” Luo Chen blinked, "Is that so?" "It should be for this reason. You should take it out to bask in the sun more often." Fu Xiuxiu was helpless. After skipping this topic, she looked at Luo Chen's dress curiously. “Fellow Daoist Luo, what are you doing here?” “Just call me Ronaldinho! I don’t have anything to do with this outfit. I’m just used to wearing black.” Luo Chen was still a little uncomfortable being treated by a monk at the ninth level of Qi Refining who spoke and kept silent. Seeing that Luo Chen didn't want to say anything, Fu Xiuxiu didn't ask any more questions. She looked at the night and extended an invitation to Luo Chen. “I am coming back once in a blue moon, and I plan to invite the neighbors to have a meal together. Xiao Luo, are you coming?” Someone invites you to dinner, is there such a good thing? Then he, Luo Chen, must be obligated! Sitting on the children's swing in the yard, Luo Chen, who had changed his clothes, was thinking about his next plan while waiting for Fu Xiuxiu to prepare dinner. The raw materials cost four hundred spirit stones, which was his biggest undertaking ever! This time, there is no room for failure. So before refining the elixir, you must consider all aspects. The first is the new alchemy equipment—Ziyun Bronze Furnace. The difference between making alchemy in a spiritual iron cauldron and using a magic weapon in an alchemy furnace is definitely huge. First of all, you must be familiar with the magical weapon Ziyun Copper Furnace, so as to avoid errors during the refining process that cannot be repaired in time. Secondly, it is the processing of some raw materials. You can no longer use the previous method. The spirit iron pot is small in size and cannot withstand high temperatures, so it can only use slightly less firepower to make elixirs. If the firepower is small, the time will inevitably be longer. In the long-term refining process, the processing of medicinal materials is also conservative. But the Ziyun Copper Furnace has no such concerns. The instrument is of high quality and can withstand the scorching heat. In this way, we can be more bold in the processing methods of those raw materials. Finally, it’s time to build the alchemy room.
Yes, Luo Chen planned to set up an alchemy room in the house he rented. The Ziyun Copper Stove occupies a huge area. When burning wood, a special fire pit is also needed, and insulating bricks must be laid underneath to prevent the loss of firepower. The surrounding walls should preferably be made of cloud-sand bricks with good air permeability. Otherwise, if the medicinal gas leaks, it is possible to be fainted by the poison alive. Thinking about one thing after another, Luo Chen felt a little dizzy. You will be very busy next time! "Hey!" A petite figure suddenly jumped in front of him. Luo Chen said hello helplessly, "Miss Xiaoling, are you guys off work?" Isn’t this nonsense? Everyone is here. But in reality, greetings are often like this. For those who are eating, ask "Where are you eating?" For those who are getting off work, say "It's time to get off work!" It’s like that kind of thing when you meet a friend in a public restroom and the friend says, “Where are you taking a dump?” Nonsense, why are you squatting in a pit if you don’t poop? Bai Meiling naturally didn't expect Luo Chen to have so many thoughts, so she stretched out her white and tender hands. “What for?” Luo Chen was surprised. “Where’s the elixir you made? Let me see if it’s a magic elixir!” “You are so lenient!” Bai Meiling put her hands on her hips, "As a neighbor on the seventh level of Qi Refining, can't I keep an eye on you?" Damn it, this is the most oppressive state in my life! Luo Chen took a deep breath, licked his face and took out a pill. Bai Meiling took it curiously, "Bigu Pill? No, it's Bigu Powder. It's a good grade, even top grade." She looked at Luo Chen for a while and couldn't help but nod. “You’re a dull gourd, but it seems you’re pretty good at it. Unfortunately, if you have the formula for Bigu Pill and get a little familiar with it, you can make a living out of it.” Luo Chen originally planned to fool this woman. But when he heard what the other party said, he instantly became interested. The Bigu Pill he refined was actually just Bigu Powder, he had always known this. Otherwise, why would five bottles of Bigu Powder, totaling fifty pills, only sell for one low-grade spiritual stone?
The orthodox Bigu Pill is no less than a first-level elixir than the Nourishing Qi Pill. A bottle of ten pills, priced at one hundred spirit stones, is really a huge profit! If you can refine the real Bigu Pill, wouldn't that make you prosperous? “Do you have a prescription for Bigu Pill?” Facing Luo Chen’s thirsty gaze, Bai Meiling spread her hands. "I definitely don't have it! This kind of elixir recipe is controlled by the big sects, how could I have it?" Luo Chen rolled his eyes, what else did you say? He was not too disappointed. In other words, she never had high expectations for this mainstream elixir recipe. Not only Dahefang City, but also the entire Jade Cauldron Region and the Six Far East Regions strictly control the prescriptions of mainstream elixirs. If there is even a slight leak, the monks from the sect will use various means to get it back. You can buy it with money, rob it by force, or recruit an alchemist who can make mainstream elixirs. In this regard, Luo Chen’s evaluation was, “A monopoly dog will die a good death!” He can actually understand the practices of these sects. This world is extremely rich in resources. Whether it is the area where humans live or the barren mountains and swamps where monsters live, there are countless natural and earthly treasures. When raw materials cannot be limited, controlling the recipe becomes the best way. As a result, mainstream elixirs can only be refined, distributed, and sold by the sect. Thus, large sects can ensure that their income is much higher than that of cultivating families and casual cultivators. If this were not the case, how could the large sects get such good benefits? They would give free magic weapons, Taoist robes, and even precious storage bags to their disciples at every turn. “Xiao Ling, Xiao Luo, it’s time to eat.” The gentle voice came, and Luo Chen quickly walked into the east wing, which was Fu Xiuxiu's home. Bai Meiling also followed, but after taking only two steps, she felt something was wrong. “Can the Fire Dog Whip be used to refine Bigu Powder?” (End of this chapter)
