Chapter 621: Chapter 260: Sister, this is Friend Dan Chenzi_1
Luo Chen smiled slightly, reaching out to pick up a glass of wine.
“A momentary setback means nothing. With your strength, joining a great sect could possibly afford you the chance to reach core formation.”
Chu Kui scoffed lightly.
“Forget it, I prefer to be on my own, relying solely on my own efforts for resources. I can’t withstand the restrictions imposed by a sect.”
Luo Chen furrowed his eyebrows.
Due to not wanting to be bound, he would give up the opportunity ahead?
Why the melancholic demeanor then?
Seeing Luo Chen’s confusion, Chu Kui sighed.
“In reality, even if I joined a Golden Core Great Sect, what difference would it make?”
“Those orthodox sects would never bestow precious core formation resources on me.”
“In the end, I’m ultimately an outsider.”
Chu Kui nudged his chin, indicating Luo Chen to look towards the entrance.
Peach Mountain Xuan Yu, who had previously won the core formation spirit medicine auction, was now entering, surrounded by a pack of foundation establishment true cultivators.
Walking like a dragon and a tiger, glancing around with an air of superiority.
High-spirited and exuberant, he was indeed quite impressive!
“What’s going?” asked Luo Chen, puzzled.
Chu Kui whispered, “Xuan Yu used to be a rogue cultivator, but he has high potential and the Dragon Yang body. Still, a character of his caliber is only serving as a nominal leader under the Peach Blossom Ancestor of the Hundred Flower Palace.”
“Don’t be fooled by the glitz of his controlling Peach Mountain.”
“When it comes to core formation, the Peach Blossom Ancestor did not bestow him the Hundred Flowers Palace’s core formation spirit medicine. He had to laboriously obtain it through auction himself.”
“Do you think, based on my fighting strength alone, could I fare any better in a Great Sect?”
“In cultivation, mere fighting skill is of no use.”
This conversation left Luo Chen silent.
In the Immortal Cultivation World, it’s not like rogue cultivators have no avenues to progress.
They could establish their own forces, or serve as patrons for some smaller factions.
The extraordinary ones might even be actively courted by the Great Sects, serving as honorary elders.
Luo Chen nodded lightly.
His identity as a Pill Refiner wasn’t a secret.
It was just not as famous as it had been during the Dahefang period.
The name Dan Chenzi was renowned in Dahefang, but in Tian Lan Immortal City, it was insignificant.
After getting Luo Chen’s confirmation, Xuan Yunzi seemed to take interest.
“Did you refine the Jade Marrow Pill?”
“Yes.”
“And the Allure Pill, did you refine that too?”
Just as Luo Chen was about to nod, a thought suddenly struck him.
“Is Friend very interested in the Allure Pill?”
Xuan Yunzi said somewhat unnaturally, “I didn’t have any particular interest in such a first-order elixir. It’s just that recently, I’ve been studying a pill formula that combines fire and water. I happened to obtain an Allure Pill and was deeply impressed by its harmonious combination of Yin and Yang. So, I wanted to discuss it with you.”
He doesn’t mean what he says!
With Luo Chen’s keen perception, he could easily determine that his true intentions weren’t as stated.
Particularly!
When Luo Chen first saw him, he noticed the coexistence of life and death in him with his spirit vision.
At that moment, Luo Chen had looked at him curiously several times.
Now, all of a sudden, he bought up the Allure Pill.
This pill formula wasn’t typical of the style in the Yu Ding Realm. Several ingredients used in its refinement were special products of a foreign realm.
Especially the main ingredient, North Sea Jade Yao Pillar, was only sold by the Hundred Herbs Pavilion under the command of the Medicine King Sect.
Initially, this pill formula was obtained from the remains of a doorkeeper of the Medicine King Sect by his predecessor...
The diverging thoughts suddenly converged.
Luo Chen said with a smile, “The Allure Pill you purchased was not refined by me. The female pill refiner from my Luo Tian Creed refined it, it only bore my name.”
Xuan Yunzi was taken aback for a moment, then he understood.
This situation was common in the world of immortal cultivation.
After all, goods endorsed by famous people were always more popular.
Like when Luo Chen used to be in Dahefang, he saw many magic items and treasures, a fair number of them claiming to be personally crafted by the Tool Casting Master Hu Yan Zhuo of Tian Fan City.
