Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Although Longyuan Immortal City is ruined, its area is very large.

There is a mountain inside, and there is a temple on the mountain. It is said that Master Long Yuan practiced in it.

At the bottom of the mountain, there is a continuous group of newly built palaces.

The headquarters of the Monster Hunting Department is located here.

But obviously, as the day of Longyuan Auction approaches, the Monster Hunting Department is no longer the protagonist.

The real protagonist becomes Master Huo Fang, the deputy city lord of Longyuan Immortal City.

His realm is advanced, and he is a rare ninth-level golden elixir monk among the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, and he is on par with the three eight-star demon hunters of the Demon Hunting Department.

At this moment, Huo Fang was sitting at the top of the hall, listening to the people below reporting on the preparations for the auction bit by bit.

One after another, many people came into the hall.

When a young woman wearing a purple palace dress entered the palace, Huo Fang took the initiative to stand up.

"Fellow Taoist Purple Queen is here."

The Purple Queen pursed her lips and smiled, her gorgeous appearance seemed to make this simple palace extraordinarily radiant.

"The resources raised by the Monster Hunting Department have been sent over. They have been carefully selected by the Monster Hunting Department. They will not disappoint City Lord Huo Fang."

Huo Fang nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "How have you considered that matter? Although there are many capable people and strangers in our Ten Thousand Immortals Association, only those who have the appearance, the realm, and the eloquence are like you. Qualified for that position.”

"Haha, I'm just an auctioneer for once, and the deputy city lord is so good at praising others." Purple Queen covered her mouth and smiled, and immediately accepted it generously.

For an auction of this scale, the auctioneer must not lag behind.

Either a well-known appraisal master, or a well-informed high-level monk.

Huo Fang's choice of Purple Queen was undoubtedly the most correct choice.

Now that I have accepted this task, I must do it to perfection.

Zi Hou asked for the auction list from Huo Fang on the spot. She needed to be familiar with the details of the corresponding auction items to organize the introduction speech at the auction, and think of some words in advance that could raise the price and heat up the atmosphere. .

The order on the auction list is only approximate at the moment, and Purple Queen has to plan it in advance. Don’t let valuables appear too early, so that the rest of the event will be dull without valuables. At the same time, don’t let the front be too boring. There must be some good things to arouse the interest of the participants.

When her eyes fell on the name of a magical weapon, the Purple Queen paused.

"Kowloon True Fire Shield?"

Huo Fang, who was busy next to him, heard the voice and replied casually: "It is a high-grade magic weapon sold in a small grocery store in the city. A deacon passing by saw it and thought it was interesting, so he included it in the auction process. I remember that the shop was called Qingyang. It seemed like it was just a property of the Jiji family, but it was actually a means of making money for a gold elixir caster. What was that man’s name, Qingyangzi Luo Hai..."

As he spoke, Huo Fang stopped what he was doing.

"Purple Queen, this person seems to have a grudge against you? Do you want me to make the decision and kick this lot out?"

It was just a trivial matter, not even a simple effort, and he was happy to sell it to the Purple Queen.

Unexpectedly, the Purple Queen shook her head.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a high-grade magic weapon. There's no need to embarrass others with this kind of thing. What's more..."

She said calmly and generously: "It's not like Qingyangzi has any grudge against me. It's just some disputes between the younger generation and him."

Huo Fang couldn't help but nodded when he saw this.

Although casual cultivators have a tendency to retaliate against others, this is only when their own interests are involved.

More often than not, they adhere to the concept of taking a step back to see the bright future and live in harmony with each other. The so-called conflicts between blood descendants will not be as numerous as those in large sects and big families.

This kind of scene where the young are beaten and then the old become old rarely appears in the world of casual cultivators.

For casual cultivators, especially high-level casual cultivators, the concept of family affection is somewhat indifferent.

Just when they put aside the matter and planned to continue with the matter at hand, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall.

After a while, a deacon in the foundation building stage walked in with excitement.

"Deputy City Lord, I have collected another treasure here!"

"What baby makes you so excited?"

"A magic weapon, water-based."

"Oh, let me see it!"

Dharma is precious, but it also depends on who it is for.

Golden elixir monks like them would have one or two magic weapons at hand. Especially in order to break through the thunder catastrophe in the Nascent Soul stage, every golden elixir monk will cast a natal magic weapon that matches himself at all costs after forming the elixir.

Huo Fang really didn't care much about ordinary magic weapons.

However, when the blue piece of armor fell into his hands, his demeanor changed.

In a state of shock and uncertainty, he took the initiative to inject mana, and suddenly a blue armor with flowing water patterns appeared in front of him.

"Hey, is it a purely defensive magic weapon?"

The Purple Queen next to her looked surprised when she saw this scene.

"This is such a good thing, but someone is willing to sell it?"

In the world of immortality, attack magic weapons are common. As long as there are suitable materials and an accomplished caster, they can be refined.

Even if it's a magic weapon with unique tricks, it's just mediocre.

But the number of defensive magic weapons in circulation is very small.

First, it is related to the importance of defensive magic weapons to protect the monks themselves.

Secondly, it is also related to the extremely high difficulty of refining defensive magic weapons!

The latter is also the biggest reason!

Destruction is always easier than construction. In the same way, defense is more difficult than attack.

It is also a casting weapon. For attack-type magic weapons, you only need to consider the superposition of lethality, so that a weapon has the power to harm the enemy.

Even if this weapon has various drawbacks and has various side effects when activated, as long as it can hurt people, it will be fine.

But defensive weapons are different.

After it is cast, it must be ensured that it has no obvious shortcomings, so that the enemy will not easily see the flaws and break them in one fell swoop during battle.

Just think about it and you will know how terrible things are here. The defensive magic weapon that the monk trusted was found to be vulnerable at the critical moment. The place that the monk did not need to worry about became the life gate. How terrible things are here.

Therefore, the casting of defensive magic weapons is extremely difficult.

From the selection of materials, to the refining techniques, and the engraving of suitable formations, there are all kinds of stringent requirements.

Because of these requirements, the failure rate of defensive magic weapons is extremely high, and the refining cost is also extremely high.

Even some well-known forging masters, after casting some representative defensive magic weapons, rarely refine pure defensive magic weapons.

They prefer to refine some so-called "offensive and defensive" weapons.

But a smart person will be clear when he thinks about it. Having both offense and defense means that both offense and defense have shortcomings. How can there be a pure defensive magic weapon?

But these smart people have no other choice but to accept this situation.

A combination of various reasons has led to the fact that although there are many magic weapons in the world of immortality, there are very few purely defensive magic weapons.

Now, someone is actually willing to put this kind of treasure up for auction?

Even if you look at his grade, he is only at the low-grade level, but he is quite a prodigal.

Huo Fang naturally understood the truth here and looked at the foundation-building monk.

"Who handed this over? Are there any additional closing conditions?"

The foundation-building monk said without hesitation: "This treasure was handed over by Zhang Jiadi from Qingyang. There are no additional transaction conditions."

Qingyang number!

Huo Fang subconsciously looked at Zi Queen, and the two looked at each other.

Earlier, they had just talked about this store and the owner behind it.

Could it be that this treasure belongs to Qingyangzi?

"I remembered that Zhang Jiadi specifically mentioned that when this treasure is auctioned, he needs to publicize the reputation of its founding owner."

"who?"

"Master Forger Qingyangzi!"

This time, Zi Queen's expression became a little exciting.

This treasure is not owned by Qing Yangzi, but was refined by the other party himself!

For those who can refine pure defensive magic weapons, it is not an exaggeration to call them masters of casting. You must know that even the most famous forging master of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, Moyun Cave Master, has not personally refined such magic weapons for many years.

Is this Qingyangzi already comparable to the master of Moyun Cave?

If this was the case, she would have definitely stopped Huangfu Song from provoking him.

As long as such a master-level figure spreads the word and is willing to tailor-made defensive magic weapons for people, I don't know how many people will be willing to work for him.

How could the two or three big cats and kittens under Huangfu Song's command be compared with Qingyangzi's appeal?

Obviously, Qingyangzi now wants to use the Longyuan Auction to make a name for himself, maybe because he wants to prevent such things from happening again.

"Should I take the initiative to visit you and explain what happened last time?"

"Then Qingyangzi left obvious room for change in his previous dealings. Obviously he didn't want to offend me too much."

"However, it would be a bit of a loss of face to come to the door like this."

Just when Purple Queen looked uncertain, there was a rumble from the side.

It was Huo Fang who was testing the power of the magic weapon called Youlan Xuanjia.

A long while.

Huo Fang stopped his movements and showed a satisfied look.

"It is indeed the purest water defense magic weapon, and it is extremely effective against fire. In addition, it has another mystery. It is divided into two layers: inner armor and air armor, and can also resist physical attacks."

"In terms of power, when fully stimulated, it should be able to withstand the full blow of the early stage Golden Core monks without any damage, and it is also effective enough against the attacks of the middle stage Golden Core monks. However, for us great monks, it will not be a hindrance. "

"Finally, the mana consumption of this treasure is a bit beyond my expectation. It even seems to me that a monk in the late stage of foundation building can activate it."

After some evaluation, Huo Fang couldn't help but admire it.

"There's something about Qingyangzi's weapon-casting skills. I haven't seen such a high-quality low-grade defensive magic weapon in several years."

"This treasure can be entered into Longyuan Auction. It is best to place it at the beginning to arouse the interest of both the Foundation Establishment monks and the Golden Pill monks."

"I also agree with Qingyangzi's conditions."

After three times and five times two, the deputy city lord Huo Fang decided on this matter.

But this time, he didn't ask Zi Hou for her opinion. He seemed to have forgotten that he had said before that Zi Queen had a grudge against Qing Yangzi.

Obviously, personal friendship cannot be greater than the important event of Longyuan Immortal City Auction!

The Purple Queen watched this scene silently without making any rebuttal.

But in his heart, he clearly had a plan in mind.

She had to go to Penghu, and instead of just watching from the outside like last time, she had to go in in person.

…

As a rare grand event in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, the Longyuan Auction attracted countless monks.

Among them are casual cultivators, as well as cultivators from sects and families close to Shenyuan City.

The former came here to acquire resources, but the latter mostly wanted to gain experience and see if there was anything of interest.

The auction was held for two days in total.

It's not long, it's not short, but it's enough to make Longyuan Fairy City lively.

And in the meeting, the name of a master caster also rose from a small scale at the beginning and became an instant hit.

Qingyangzi, the Lord of Penghu, can refine low-grade defensive magic weapons!

For a time, many monks tried to visit Qingyangzi in Penghu after the meeting, but they were all blocked by the formation.

Even though they couldn't visit, they were not discouraged, but poured into the Qingyang No. Qingyangzi's property in Longyuan Immortal City.

Although there were no defensive magic weapons for sale in the store, many golden elixir monks left disappointed.

But the high-quality magical instruments and a large number of talismans and seals in the store made those Qi-refining and foundation-building monks overjoyed.

The rush to buy even angered Wenxiu, a Taoist priest from Zhang Jiadi who was in charge of the store, and he was forced to raise the price.

But even so, demand still exceeds supply.

Faced with the high price, casual cultivators are naturally unable to cope, but those cultivators from Shenyuan City are quite wealthy.

After realizing that the magic weapon talisman was really good, he took out the spirit stone without batting an eye.

This grand occasion really caused a sensation in the street where Qingyang was located, and even the business of nearby shops improved.

Naturally, the Zhang family also made a lot of money from other resources they sold in Qingyang.

Inside the small shop.

A group of monks looked at the empty shelves of magical instruments and made dissatisfied sounds.

Until a female nun appeared.

Wenxiu looked slightly nervous, but her tone was calm.

"Don't worry, Master Qingyangzi will bring out his works to our store for consignment from time to time, and there will be better weapons in the future."

"As long as you are free, you can come to the store and take a look, maybe you can meet them."

"In addition, the quality of other products in our store is also guaranteed. You will never suffer a loss or be cheated."

After a few words, the rush to buy caused by the auction finally subsided.

However, it is foreseeable that after the reputation is established, the business of Qingyang Hao will definitely not be bad in the future.

Outside the store.

The two monks looked at this scene, one with a gloomy expression, and the other with a gloating expression.

"Moyun Cave Master, I didn't lie to you at first, did I?"

Faced with Huangfusong's ridicule, Cave Master Moyun looked gloomy and admitted that he had made a mistake.

Unexpectedly, Qingyangzi could really refine a magic weapon.

But in front of Huangfu Song, he had to hold on.

"It's just an accidental gain, and I dare to show it off. I don't believe that Qingyangzi will be able to refine a defensive magic weapon in the future!"

Huangfu Song blinked, "What if it's really refined?"

Cave Master Moyun sneered, "Then he is willing to sell it in a small shop like this? For casters like me, the cost of refining defensive magic weapons is high and the risk is high. Unless it is customized by others, they are responsible for the materials and guarantee the refining process. Otherwise, we will never open the furnace easily. Only if this Qingyangzi is crazy would he be willing to sell the carefully forged defensive magic weapon in a mere shop."

Huangfu Song was speechless for a moment, but he sneered in his heart.

The master of Moyun Cave was as tough on words as a dead duck, and he didn't admit Qingyangzi's skill in casting.

The master of Moyun Cave glanced at Huangfu Song with disgust, "Don't even think about sowing discord. The main business under my command in Moyun Cave is offensive magic weapons. That Qingyangzi hasn't provoked me yet. I don't think so." I will take action against him for you. Besides, you have already moved to another place to manage the spiritual land, so why bother coveting the Penghu spiritual land."

Huangfusong's face turned red as his thoughts were revealed.

He opened his mouth and finally spit out one sentence.

"I didn't mean that, I just wanted to be friendly."

"Okay, I understand your wishes, but I'm really busy lately, so don't bother me anymore."

After saying that, Moyun Cave Master walked away.

Huangfu Song was left clenching his fists on the spot with a look of reluctance on his face.

If Luo Chen were here, he would probably shake his head again.

I don’t know how many resources people with this kind of character spent to reach the late stage of Jindan.

…

It's getting late.

The master of Moyun Cave returned to Moyun Cave.

After returning home, a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"It shouldn't be!"

"The last time we communicated, Qingyangzi clearly hadn't reached the level of refining a magic weapon. Why did he refine it in just one year, and it was still a purely defensive magic weapon."

The muttering sound received a response.

"Perhaps he is really a genius at casting?"

Moyun Cave Master turned around and looked at a huge figure with a tired look.

The reason why it is huge is because this person is extremely fat and seems to be dripping with oil.

However, he has a thin face and a strong hooked nose, which is completely opposite to his body shape.

With such a special body shape, if Luo Chen were here, he would be able to recognize him at a glance.

It was Ding Yi, the casual cultivator who traded soul-nurturing wood with him on Lengguang Island!

"Fellow Daoist Ding, didn't I ask you to stare at the stove? That treasure is related to your life, but there is no room for error."

Ding Yi cheered up and waved his hand, "It's okay, I can feel it's almost done, otherwise you wouldn't have put down the casting business and hurried out. Am I right?"

Moyun Cave Master was speechless, the other party was really right.

The previous refining was dominated by him.

But the subsequent refining will be dominated by the master of the magic weapon, Ding Yi.

Since the other party feels that it is about to happen, then nine times out of ten, it is really going to happen.

But just in case, he still warned him.

"Refining the turtle beast alive and integrating it into the treasure basin fish, the front is not critical, the important thing is the cultivation behind it. It is not something that can be accomplished overnight. According to my guess, it will take at least ten years. Among them, it cannot be If something goes wrong, fellow Daoist Ding, you still have to treat yourself to something."

Ding nodded. It was an important matter related to him, so he would not neglect it.

But now, he is even more curious about the Qingyangzi that Moyun Cave Master mentioned before.

"The name of Qingyangzi is somewhat similar to that of a powerful demonic figure I know."

"Who?"

"Demon Lord Qingyang."

"Uh... To be honest with you fellow Taoist, this person is really the Qingyang Demon Lord."

Ding Yi's little eyes narrowed, and his expression suddenly became exciting.

"Unexpectedly, he is also in this Ten Thousand Immortals Association. I have to take a chance to visit him."

In response, Moyun Cave Master waved his hand.

"Don't think about it. He has been in seclusion recently and has not seen anyone. Even Zi Queen, one of the three eight-star demon hunters in our Demon Hunting Department, came to visit him in person, but was turned away."

Ding Yi was stunned for a moment.

Is the shelf that big?

On the contrary, he was a little different from the person he saw on Lengguang Island.

But at that time, Demon Lord Qingyang was disguised, and even his abilities were only revealed during the battle on Lengguang Island.

Thinking of the power of Demon Lord Qingyang, Ding Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Although Mo Yun is not weak, his real expertise is in casting weapons. To get to that place, he is still a little behind."

"In comparison, although the level of Demon Lord Qingyang is a bit low, his true combat power is recognized by the world as formidable."

"With his help, my chances of success might be higher."

"Would you like to talk to him?"

For a while, the fat monk kept thinking about it, especially the rumored deeds of Demon Lord Qingyang, which kept coming to his mind.

Finally, a decision seems to have been made.
