Chapter 07: Shendantang, Chen Yuan wants to be an alchemist
If you have a fixed amount of accommodation, you can also count as having a place to live.
Although it had only been three months since he became a mortal, Chen Yuan already had his own plans and goals in mind.
Mortals suffer from the ups and downs of life, and monks only need to think about how to improve their cultivation and how to make their lives longer.
Eternal life is the lifelong pursuit of every monk, and Chen Yuan, who has read "A Brief Introduction to Monks", is no exception.
I walked around my stone house and courtyard twice, and found nothing wrong except for some simple bedding utensils.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Chen Yuan began to plan for his next cultivation.
The first level of Qi cultivation, although it already has mana, is only the lowest existence in the monk world, and anyone can kill it.
"If you want to survive well in this monk world, strength is the most important thing."
With a breath of turbidity, Chen Yuan began to check the items he had:
The low-grade magic weapon black pattern hammer, the poisonous Qi Gathering Pill, and the Vajra Fu are good survival dependents. A bottle of Five-Star Qi Gathering Pill and a bottle of Three-Star Qi Gathering Pill can be used for one's own cultivation.
However, when the Qi Gathering Pill is always used up, if you want to continue cultivating, the pill is the top priority.
The hundred-year-old spirit condensing grass that Liu Muyun gave him was used to refine the Qi Gathering Pill, as long as he found an alchemist, he could get a few more bottles of the Qi Gathering Pill.
"The Brief Description of the Monks says that alchemists are a rare profession among monks. I just don't know, can I become an alchemist? Even if he is just a lowest-level alchemist, there is a Yin and Yang Ding, and there is no need to worry about not having a high-level elixir. ”
"And then there is the courtyard where weeds grow, which can also be used to plant some spiritual grass for alchemy in the future."
"Finally, it's the talisman drawing. The most common attack used by low-level monks is the talisman. A nine-grade talisman may even be comparable to a high-grade magic weapon. Without the resources of the master and the gift of the master, this talisman technique has to be learned a little bit. ”
Although it is said that monks are the most taboo and not refined, in Chen Yuan's current state, mastering one more monk skill will have an additional guarantee.
As long as the Shuanglong Yin Yang Ding is in his hand, even if the elixir he refines and the talisman he draws are only the lowest, as long as there are enough spirit stones, he can turn it into the highest grade.
With a decision in her heart, Chen Yuan stopped sitting, Chen Yuan planned to go to find Liu Muyun, with her familiarity with Maple Leaf City, she should be able to buy books on alchemy.
"Brother Chen, are you going out? My little sister has something to do with you. ”
Pushing open the door, Chen Yuan happened to greet Liu Muyun head-on, and the faces of the two almost collided together.
"I'm planning to look for you, too. I want to buy some alchemy books and elixir seeds, can Miss Liu take me there? ”
After more than two months of contact, the relationship between Chen Yuan and Liu Muyun has also made a qualitative leap.
Liu Muyun's title to Chen Yuan has also changed from son-in-law to Brother Chen.
"Brother Chen wants to become an alchemist, this is simple. Little sister, I'll take you to the Shendan Hall in Maple Leaf City. Although there is no real elixir there, there is definitely something you want. ”
Chen Yuan nodded, and followed Liu Muyun to the small town at the foot of Maple Mountain again.
Shendantang, a very large organization, is rumored to be as powerful as the three major authentic sects of the Great Qi Dynasty, and its headquarters has a super powerhouse in the late Jindan period.
It can be said that as long as there are monks in the world, there is the shadow of the Shendan Hall.
In the hearts of the scattered cultivators, the Divine Pill Hall was the best place for them to obtain the pills used in their cultivation. First, the strength of the Shendantang is big enough, and the pills sold are guaranteed, and secondly, the Shendantang can be bought and sold, as long as there are pills in the hand, the spirit grass can be sold here at a good price.
The Divine Pill Hall in Maple Leaf City is not tall, but it is also the most magnificent attic in the entire Maple Leaf City, with five floors high. At the corner of each floor hangs a lantern with a large "Dan" character written on it
"Let's go. Let's go in. My little sister has acquaintances here. Guaranteed to buy any item you want at the lowest price. ”
Liu Muyun brought Chen Yuan to a middle-aged man with his hands on his hips, and said in a loud voice:
"Liu Lao Er, are there any good pills lately? The old lady doesn't want one star or two stars, and the lowest level also has three stars. ”
Seeing that the person who came was Liu Muyun, the middle-aged manager of the Shendan Hall, with a smile on his face, he said:
"My aunt, do you think the three-star pill is a farmer's bean? The Maple Leaf City branch of our entire Divine Pill Hall can only be refined by Master Bean, and it can be refined at most three pieces a month. You want the three-star pill, this steward doesn't have it here, if you have the ability, you can go to Master Bean. ”
Facing the little demon girl in front of him, the middle-aged Liu was also helpless. In the entire Maple Leaf City, there are not a thousand, but also eight hundred, and whoever sees him respectfully calls Steward Liu, only this little demon girl calls Liu Lao Er.
Who called someone else's master a strong person at the ninth level of Qi training, and he watched her grow up?
If you don't have it, you can't have two two-star Qi Gathering Pills, and recently my niece feels like I'm going to be promoted, and I urgently need a high-level Qi Gathering Pill to break through the bottleneck.
The well-behaved Liu Muyun is also very cute, with a pair of smart eyes blinking, very smart.
"Oh, yes! Liu Lao Er, I would like to introduce you to someone, my eldest brother, Chen Yuan, although he was only on the first level of Qi training, he alone killed the first-order fierce beast Snow Mountain Wolf King, which was comparable to the third layer of Qi training. ”
Hearing that Chen Yuan had hunted the first-order fierce beast Snow Mountain Wolf King by himself, Steward Liu's gaze shifted to Chen Yuan's body.
In the monk world, in addition to ordinary fierce beasts, the fierce beasts that can be cultivated also have ranks, mostly divided into one to nine levels, of which the strongest first-order fierce beasts can be compared to the third level of qi training.
Chen Yuan was able to hunt the first-order Snow Mountain Wolf King alone with the first level of Qi training, which showed that Chen Yuan's strength was at least comparable to the second level of Qi training.
"Junior, Chen Yuan, meet Steward Liu."
Chen Yuan clenched his fists.
"The young people are good, and the future is promising. I don't know if Chen Shaoxia came to my Shendan Hall, did he want to buy or sell? ”
Steward Liu looked Chen Yuan up and down as he spoke.
"My eldest brother has the talent to become an alchemist, so I want to buy some books for junior alchemists and vintage spirit condensing grass from you, plus some seeds for common elixirs. Liu Laoer, don't you say no? ”
Liu Muyun snatched Chen Yuan's words.
"Alchemist talent? Young man, you have just entered the realm of cultivators, do you know what alchemist talent means? Among the hundred monks, there may not be an alchemist. Young people should not be too ambitious, it is better to concentrate on cultivation. ”
Steward Liu looked at Liu Muyun's face and was polite to Chen Yuan, but he didn't think that the black and thin young man in front of him could become an alchemist.
In Maple Leaf City, among the thousands of scattered cultivators, there are only three alchemists, and all of them are in the Divine Pill Hall.
"Liu Lao Er, your words today seem to be a bit much. Hurry up and take out what Brother Chen needs. ”
Liu Muyun also seemed to see Steward Liu's different attitude, and tried her best to urge the other party.
After a while, Steward Liu took out a book of more than ten pages and a wooden box, and said, "Ten spirit stones!" ”
"Liu Lao Er, why don't you go and grab it? Just a little thing is worth ten spirit stones. That's the price of a low-grade artifact. ”
Liu Muyun was even more dissatisfied.
"The items needed by an alchemist are different from those of other monks, the so-called rare things are expensive, and since an alchemist is the most scarce profession in the monk world, the price of the items used is naturally the most expensive."
Although he knew that Steward Liu was stealing customers, Liu Muyun had nothing to say at this time, and looked at Chen Yuan.
"Ten is ten. It's better to have something that works for you than not to buy it. ”
When he heard the price of the other party, Chen Yuan also wanted to scold the other party.
When you think of the other party's identity and your own strength, you can only passively accept it.
After paying the spirit stone and taking the items they needed, Chen Yuan and the others left the Shendan Hall.
In Maple Leaf City, in addition to some fixed shops like the Divine Pill Hall, there are also some casual cultivators who set up stalls, and they take out the things they don't use to set up stalls in exchange for cultivation needs.
Ma Xiaohu, Niu Daring, and Liu Muyun said hello for a while, and the two came to an old man with gray hair.
"Brother Chen, he is what I told you, the most famous stall master in Maple Leaf City, Sun Chenghai, a powerhouse of the fifth layer of Qi training."
Walking to the stall of the monk surnamed Sun, Liu Muyun picked up a second-grade talisman in his own way, and after looking at it from the front, he said:
"Sun Chenghai, do you have the talisman pen, cinnabar, rune paper and other things you need to draw the talisman?"
"Miss Liu, why are you here again? Didn't the old man give you two icicle charms for nothing? The old man has nothing more to give you. ”
Seeing Liu Muyun picking up his belongings casually, Sun Chenghai hurriedly packed up his belongings like a mouse seeing a cat.
"I won't let you send it today, I'll buy it. Tell me, are there any items you need to draw a talisman? ”
After knowing that Liu Muyun was going to buy it, the gray-haired Sun Chenghai finally rearranged the items with confidence, and said:
"Yes, and they are all medium colors, only three spirit stones."
Sun Chenghai casually swiped on the Qiankun bag, and items such as runes, pens, runes, and paper appeared in front of Chen Yuan.
After decisively paying the spirit stone, Chen Yuan grabbed before Liu Muyun could speak, and said, "Senior, do you sell this parchment?" ”
After coming to Sun Chenghai's booth, Chen Yuan took a fancy to a piece of parchment with a slightly yellow color and a lot of pictures and texts.
"Sell, of course sell. It's just that the items in this stall are all sold. The old man had worked hard to get this parchment, and according to his original owner, it had a spell of extraordinary strength. If you want it, five spirit stones will sell you. ”
Chen Yuan reached out to get the parchment.
Suddenly......
A phantom shadow floated in front of him.
"No one wants to buy this parchment. It's an item I've been eyeing for a long time. ”
The one who snatched the parchment was a young monk dressed in fine clothes with a pale face.
"Guo Hao, you dare to rob Brother Chen's things. Is it when I don't exist? ”
Liu Muyun looked at the monk viciously.
"You? A woman who is about to become someone else's furnace. Dare to speak up to me! ”
