Chapter 1554: Chapter 576: Failed? I’m Used To It

With the help of intermediary Dan Shubao, Yu Gao acquired five bottles of Top Grade Emperor Flow Juice and twenty Ascendant Grade Spirit Stones from Luo Chen.

Yes, Ascendant Grade Spirit Stones were used for the payment.

Luo Chen originally intended to pay with Lower Grade Spirit Stones, but two hundred thousand was simply too large a quantity to fit in an ordinary storage bag.

Even though a Golden Core Ascendant Master could afford to buy a storage bag with greater space, having so many Lower Grade Spirit Stones was still too cumbersome.

This made Luo Chen realize that as one’s realm increases, the currency used in transactions also subtly shifts.

Yu Gao was very satisfied with this trade.

For him, a defense magic item refining method that wasn’t developed internally by the sect wasn’t that important.

Moreover, truly refining the defense magic item described within was challenging.

At least, he had to ask a sect Elder to use a lot of materials and only barely succeeded once.

Using a not-so-important refining method in exchange for Emperor Flow Juice, which was very useful to him personally.

“My Spirit Beast naturally possesses an Ancient Desolate Beast Bloodline, yet for years, it couldn’t unlock the bloodline inheritance.”

“With the help of this elixir, it might be able to lend a hand!”

A Fifth Order Ancient Desolate Beast is akin to a Human Race Divine Transformation Great Power, already having comprehended part of the Heaven and Earth Laws.

This causes their offspring’s bloodlines to be somewhat compatible in that aspect.

If a divine power is derived, it can be concealed within the bloodline, blessing the descendants.

But since the Ancient Times Human and Demon War, the Demon Clan started pursuing the path of Transformation, speeding up their cultivation rate; however, the original path was abandoned, leading to complications in unlocking their own bloodlines.

It’s become increasingly difficult!

Ordinary Lower Order Demon Beasts find it hard to naturally awaken the inheritance hidden within their bloodlines.

This Emperor Flow Juice, whose Pill Refinement Grandmaster developed it, how does it have such miraculous effects?

Compared to Yu Gao’s satisfaction, Luo Chen was also in a good mood on his end.

After receiving the iron sheet from Dan Shubao, he waved his hand to remove the simple markings left by the original owner and explored it with his Divine Consciousness.

Indeed, it contained a complete set of armor forging methods.

Glancing over the contents, Luo Chen knew this method was extraordinary.

Once successfully refined, it would provide dual-layer protection.

One layer was a Qi Armor against energy attacks, and the other was a physical Armor against physical attacks.

Now was not the time to study it in detail, so Luo Chen stored the iron sheet away and continued to pay attention to the progress of the gathering.

The first segment involved bartering and progressed rather slowly and tediously.

Mainly it involved some scarce resources, whose value isn’t easy to determine as it varies from person to person.

Therefore, a lot of time was spent negotiating.

After collecting the defense treasure refining method, Luo Chen didn’t make any more moves.

But even though he did not make a move, there were still people who privately inquired if he had more Top Grade Emperor Flow Juices.

Luo Chen curtly fobbed them off with only having those five bottles in stock.

After his exchange with True Master Fu,

he had changed his mind.

He decided not to broadly sell the elixirs he refined, using this to highlight his status as a Pill Refinement Grandmaster, to avoid attracting the attention of Blood Nightmare Mo Luo.

However, despite thinking this, people still suspected.

“Friend Luo, are you a Pill Refinement Grandmaster?”

Seeing the newcomer, Luo Chen felt a jolt inwardly, yet his expression remained unfazed.

“You flatter me, Daoist Wu. Although after Core Formation, I, like most people, dabbled in the Dao of Alchemy hoping to become a respected Pill Master, my limited talent only allows me to refine Lower Grade Pills even after spending a lot of effort.”

After a Cultivator forms their Core, their lifespan greatly increases, typically living up to five hundred years barring any accidents.

With such ample time, besides cultivation, they generally attempt to learn one or two skills.

Dao of Alchemy is often the preferred option!

However, the vast majority are unable to even begin, and even if they force their way in using abundant resources to make First Order, Second Order, or even Third Order Pills, it is of no help.

The specific reason lies in the fact that being able to make them is one thing, but ensuring success rate and yield rate are another two matters.

Normally, selling Lower Grade Pills of any Order at market would result in a loss; it simply isn’t profitable.

Only by ensuring a high success rate can one avoid losing the cost of raw materials.

To make a substantial profit, one must produce Medium Grade or even Ascendant Grade Pills!

Thus, this is why in the Immortal Cultivation World there are many High-Order Cultivators, but high-order Pill Masters are actually

Wu Qi looked doubtful.

He had been covertly observing and on this so-called Luo Hai, a Rogue Cultivator, there indeed wasn’t any thick residue of Pill Qi.

This was inconsistent with Demon King Qingyang.

Yet the sudden appearance of a previously unheard-of elixir made him unable to resist pondering in that direction.

Luo Chen apologetically said, “If Daoist Wu is also looking for Emperor Flow Juice, I’m sorry. Those Emperor Flow Juices were ones I obtained from an ancient cultivator’s ruins, and the quantity was already limited. Some were used for my own Spirit Beast, leaving only the few bottles I traded to Friend Yu Gao.”

“Spirit Beast?” Wu Qi’s eyes lit up, asking subconsciously, “May I ask what Friend’s Spirit Beast is…”

Luo Chen’s expression darkened.

Wu Qi immediately realized, “I apologize, that was presumptuous of me.”

Spirit Beasts, like proficiency in magic items or cultivation techniques, are considered trump cards and should not be divulged lightly.

He really was being presumptuous.

As the two exchanged words, the first segment finally came to an end.

Dan Shubao walked to the center of the hall and clapped his hands.
