Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

“Look this way, behold this sight, the life of Immortal Cultivation is truly brilliant!”

“Five spirit stones ain’t much, can’t buy magic tools, can’t afford a ride.”

“Our elixirs, are they good or bad? Your cultivating partner will be the judge.”

“Pop an Allure Pill, the path of cultivation is filled with much allure.”

Listening to the catchy adages from the young boy beside him, Chen Xiuping felt he had never been this embarrassed in his life.

He wished he had learned the Earth-Cracking Technique when he was young. If he had, he would be able to crack open the ground and bury himself at this very moment.

This is just too shameful!

We may be running a street stall, but we are still cultivators after all!

Truly, can it be that we’ve lost all our dignity and become like those ordinary folks hawking their wares?

Chen Xiuping regretted renting a stall with Luo Chen.

Over half a spirit stone was not a sum he lacked.

With a mournful glance at Luo Chen, Elder Chen pleaded, “Friend Xiao Luo, could we bring down the volume a bit?”

“Why should we? Is it because we haven’t eaten enough, or we’re lacking nutrition?”

“None of the other cultivators are hawking like you!”

Luo Chen reasoned confidently, “That’s because they lack confidence in their goods! But I’m different. Golden Core Ascendant Master’s pill formula, personally refined by a Grandmaster Pill Refiner, took one month to produce a batch of Allure Pills. If I don’t speak loudly, how will more cultivators get to enjoy them?”

Damn, a pill formula from a Golden Core Ascendant Master?

It’s one thing to deceive others, but to believe your own lies?

But Chen Xiuping had no comeback. His hot-selling Divine Concealment Talisman had the name of Ascendant Master Ling Yin from the Shen Fu Sect attached to it.

Why did he believe this boy’s nonsense in the first place?

Now, they were about to lose face together.

Just as Chen Xiuping’s face flushed with embarrassment, more and more cultivators were gathering around their stone stall.

“What kind of elixir is this? Such outrageous bragging.”

“Allure Pill? Never heard of it before!”

“What are these elixirs used for?”

Luo Chen calmly picked up a jade bottle and enthusiastically introduced it to the crowd.

“This batch of Allure Pills is made from North Sea Jade Yao Pillar and the body of a Spirit Beast from the Medicine King Sect, personally refined by a Pill Refinement Grandmaster.”

Speaking this, his face showed no shame, his heart did not falter.

A Fasting Elixir Grandmaster is still a Grandmaster!

His words could be sworn upon the heavens, without a trace of falsehood!

“When consumed, it boosts your yang energy, heightens your arousal, taking you and your Dao Companion Cultivator to the peak of passion.”

“This is not some Path of Demon Pill; it also has the wonderful effect of Solidifying The Foundation and Cultivating the Origin without harming your essence or Qi.”

“In summary, one pill grants extreme pleasure, two enable becoming an Immortal or a Buddha, and three allow you to reign supreme in heaven and earth!”

The cultivators gradually understood.

This was not magic medicine at all; it was clearly a stamina booster most sought after in the mortal world.

However, the young man’s speech was quite entertaining and everyone was enjoying it.

They didn’t completely believe that this kind of pill could have any effect on cultivators.

However, some couldn’t resist the temptation and picked up a pill bottle to have a sniff.

“Does it really work?”

“Absolutely authentic, no deception towards young or old!” Luo Chen swore confidently.

“But I still want to reach Foundation Establishment to pursue The Great Dao Path.” said the cultivator, appearly so determined that even he himself believed his own bullshit.

Luo Chen didn’t expose him; real seekers of The Great Dao Path wouldn’t be tempted by such things in the first place.

Instead, he spoke with even greater enthusiasm. This was his target customer, after all!

“Rest assured, as long as it is consumed in moderation, it won’t break the Lower Passage Golden Lock, allowing your true yang essence to leak without loss.”

“Really?”

“You’ll know once you try. At crucial moments, the essence that’s released is actually transformed from the Elixir, not your own essence.”

The cultivator still hesitated a bit.

Mostly because there were many onlookers, but not a single buyer.

Just as the stalemate was about to exacerbate, a chubby man squeezed out from the crowd.

“Friend Zeng, it’s been a long time.”

“Indeed, give me five bottles of Fasting Elixir.” Zeng Wen said calmly, as he casually tossed eleven spirit stones.

The surrounding cultivators were stunned. Five bottles of Fasting Elixir were only supposed to cost one spirit stone!

“Alright, here is your Fasting Elixir, Friend. May your journey to Treasure Mountain and to explore the Spirit Spring be victorious!”

Luo Chen handed over a handful of jade bottles, about seven of them.

Two of them were unmistakably bottles of the Allure Pill.

Zeng Wen casually received the bottles and turned to leave the crowd.

The crowd fell silent for a moment.

Then the previously inquiring cultivator gently said, “I think I’m also running short of Fasting Elixirs at home, give me five bottles!”

Upon saying this, he took out six Spirit Stones, joyously claimed five bottles of Fasting Elixir, plus an additional bottle of the Allure Pill.

Seeing this, the crowd of cultivators had a moment of realization.

In no time, everyone generously spent their money, just to buy a few more bottles of Fasting Elixir to cultivate in isolation when they returned home.

Once this wave of customers left, Luo Chen took out even more elixirs from his storage bag.

Elder Chen on the side had his eyes jumping in surprise, both at the speed of Luo Chen making Spirit Stones and his incredibly improving Pill Refinement Technique.

It’s only been a month, and the amount of elixirs he’s producing has increased again.

“Friend Chen, with so many customers, aren’t you going to take this opportunity to promote your talismans?”

In the midst of the busyness, Luo Chen casually reminded him.

Elder Chen immediately understood.

Previously, Luo Chen was the one who attracted his customers, why was he so slow today?

He opened his mouth, mumbled something in a low voice, but no one heard him.

But after a while, he gathered his courage and shouted.

“Quality Concealing Qi Talismans available here! Unseen by demon beasts, untraceable by enemies. You won’t regret buying, come and take a look!”

Luo Chen was taken aback.

Then he gave Elder Chen a thumbs up.

No wonder he was able to share a stall with me, the man is still full of vigor!

Perhaps it was because the Feng Shui was good today, or perhaps Luo Chen shouted loud enough, or maybe the recent gang rivalries had made the cultivators exceedingly nervous.

In any case, the Allure Pills sold very well today.

Even the Fasting Pills that he had conveniently refined were sold out within a short period of time.

By noon, only a few bottles of the Allure Pill were left unsold.

Luo Chen intended to close a deal in one go, sell them, and then go and purchase raw materials in the afternoon.

However, as soon as he began to call out, two monks with hostile faces appeared at his stall.

“So you are Luo Chen!”

Luo Chen skipped a beat in his heart, immediately realizing what was happening.

But his face showed no change, and he greeted them warmly.

“Do you two want to know about the Allure Pill?”

“We are not buying pills. I want to ask you, do you know Gao Tingye?”

Luo Chen shook his head, “I do not know him.” He then asked curiously, “Who is he?”

Duan Sanfu coldly said, “Gao Tingye is the younger brother of our boss Gao Tingyuan. He disappeared in the southwestern wasteland of the Outer City a month ago. You should be very familiar with that place!”

“Of course, I’m familiar with it, that’s my home!”

Luo Chen nodded first, then expressed outrage, “At the time, I was collecting herbs outside. The next day, when I returned, my house had been burned down. So, it was your people who did it! Is there no justice, no law left?!”

Law? Their Great Lake Gang is the law!

Duan Sanfu scoffed, exchanged a glance with his companion, and then coughed.

“We do not know who burned your house, but now, you better come with us to meet our boss.”

Luo Chen cautiously took a half-step back, keeping a wary eye on them.

“Could I not go? I feel like you guys are going to hit me.”

“You can’t refuse!” Duan Sanfu gave a cold laugh, “Our boss is the second-in-command of the Great Lake Gang, just below Gang Master Wang. If you refuse to go, the consequences will be quite severe.”

As he saw it, a mere Qi Refinement Stage cultivator on the third level, upon hearing the name Great Lake Gang, should be scared out of his wits already!

The next step would be him obediently following along.

However, Luo Chen just shrugged.

“In that case, I definitely can’t go to the Great Lake Gang with you guys.”

“Huh? Why not?”

“Because my ‘big brother’ is Wang Yuan!”

Luo Chen said with a smirk, pointing not far away.

At a nearby stall, Wang Yuan had already risen to his feet, his cold eyes indifferently fixed on this side..
