Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 184: Alchemist Du Family (Please subscribe)

The Insect Emperor Divine Wood Cauldron in Chen Xuan's hand was an ancient treasure that his original mother had obtained from the ancient cultivator's cave.

The material of ancient treasures is much better than that of today's magic weapons.

The Qinglong Bell, which was re-refined using the fragments of ancient treasures, can block the attacks of foundation-building cultivators.

Time passes.

Even if it is a complete ancient treasure, it is extremely difficult for a cultivator to refine and use it again.

Chen Xuan activated his divine eye ability and saw through the restrictions of the Insect Emperor's Divine Wood Cauldron. At the same time, he used nine streams of his own blood essence to stimulate the nine array centers of the magic array on the surface of the cauldron, and only then was the ritual successful.

Without the divine power of the clairvoyance, the Insect Emperor's Divine Wood Cauldron cannot be used for rituals and can only lie in the old jade box and gather dust.

Chen Xuan guessed that Mo Dahai's Fire Cloud Talisman was also an ancient treasure.

It should be very useful for fire-attribute monks.

Unfortunately, Chen Xuan did not practice fire-attributed skills, so it was of little use to him for the time being.

After building his foundation, he will definitely choose to study a fire-attributed technique, which will come in handy when the time comes.

Therefore, Chen Xuan was still very much looking forward to the ancient cultivator's cave.

However, the most urgent task at hand is to collect materials for the thunder-attribute foundation-building pill.

Li Changfeng helped him find out the information of the old alchemist in the Alchemy Hall.

His surname is Du. He is a senior second-level alchemist and is particularly good at refining foundation-building pills.

In the past three years, he is the only one in the sect who has started to refine thunder-attribute foundation-building pills.

Three main materials and eight auxiliary materials.

Asking Li Changkong to help issue the sect's mission, Chen Xuan paid more than 50,000 spirit stones and collected most of them. Only the thunder-attributed inner elixir and the thunder spirit flower and spirit-devouring vine were left, which were all confiscated.

The latter two are okay. Although they are rare, they can still be collected as long as the price is high enough.

The inner elixir with thunder attribute is extremely difficult to obtain.

It can only be found in the bodies of thunder-attributed demonic birds and beasts.

Ordinary foundation-building cultivators dare not provoke thunder beasts above the second level.

Not to mention that Chen Xuan couldn't find it, even if he did, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat it.

Don't even think about killing him or cutting open his stomach to take out the elixir.

……

early morning.

When everyone gathered together for dinner, Su Zhengming suddenly discovered that Chen Xuan's aura was becoming more and more powerful.

"Brother Xuan, have you made a breakthrough?"

"Ah."

Chen Xuan ate the spiritual meat porridge in the bowl with an uneasy look in his eyes.

He was still thinking about how to obtain the inner elixir of the thunder beast.

"Husband, you've made another breakthrough? Let me think about it, then you've reached the perfection of Qi training!"

Jiang Yingxue's face was filled with joy and she shouted happily.

"Ah."

"Husband, what are you thinking about?"

Su Yanping asked doubtfully.

"I'm not thinking about anything. I've completed my Qi training, and it's time to collect spiritual objects for foundation building and prepare for it."

Chen Xuan said calmly, "I'm still short of some foundation-building spiritual objects. I was just thinking about how to collect them."

"Don't be impatient. Brother Xuan, you're only 26, you're still young, there's plenty of time."

Su Zhengming felt a little emotional.

Recently, he has been working very hard.

The bottleneck of perfecting Qi training has indeed loosened a little.

He is only in his fifties.

If one can perfect Qi training before the age of sixty, there is still a glimmer of hope for building a foundation.

The later you break through, the more your Qi and blood will decline, and the harder it will be to build your foundation.

But the good son-in-law in front of me is only in his twenties and is already thinking about building his foundation.

In just seven years, he made a rapid breakthrough from the initial stage of Qi training to the perfection of Qi training.

This speed is no more than that of the geniuses from famous families and clans.

But Chen Xuan is a casual cultivator!
There is no support from the sect’s resources, nor any panacea or natural treasures.

He relies entirely on himself, taking one step at a time, steadily and honestly, which is amazing.

"By the way, my husband, someone sent an invitation."

Chen Xuan took the invitation from Jiang Yingxue and took a look at it.

It is the Du family, an alchemy family in the inner city.

The grandson of the head of the Du family got married and invited him to the Du Mansion for the wedding banquet.

"Help me prepare a gift worth two thousand spirit stones."

Chen Xuan said to Jiang Yingxue.

"so much?"

"no way!"

Chen Xuan explained: "There is a second-level alchemist named Du in the sect, who comes from the Du family."

"I see. That does require that much."

Su Zhengming nodded and said.

Not everyone can make friends with the sect's second-level alchemist.

The Du family invited Chen Xuan to have a drink, which showed that they thought highly of Chen Xuan.

The status of an alchemist is transcendent, not to mention in the Immortal City, even in the sect, he is an existence of transcendence.

Among the hundred arts of cultivation, alchemy ranks first.

Commonly used elixirs are hard currency, and their value can be maintained and increased even better than spirit stones.

For an ordinary cultivator, if he can establish a friendship with an alchemist, his path of cultivation will be much smoother.

The Du family invited him to their wedding, which was exactly what he wanted.

Originally, he wanted to make friends with the Du family.

After he has prepared the foundation-building materials, he will definitely go to the sect and ask Master Du to help him condense a furnace of thunder-attribute foundation-building pills.

Even if I could condense a thunder-attribute foundation-building pill, that would be great.

In this way, when he builds his foundation, he will have a greater chance of building a superior foundation.

……

a few days later.

The Du Mansion in the inner city was decorated with lights and there was an endless stream of monks coming to attend the wedding banquet and give gifts.

This time, in order to avoid accidents, Chen Xuan went alone.

He didn't want the Xu family wedding banquet at Wanshouling to happen again.

"Fellow Daoist Bai Rongxiang, a dozen first-grade, top-grade frost talismans."

"Fellow Daoist Tang Qingshan, a pair of first-grade, top-grade dragon and phoenix rings."

At the gate of the Du Mansion, there was a steward who was specifically counting the gifts, and the doormen were singing loudly.

Chen Xuan walked forward and handed over the gift.

"Deacon Chen Xuan, two thousand spirit stones!" The singing voice suddenly became a little higher.

Chen Xuan originally wanted Jiang Yingxue to buy a gift of two thousand spirit stones.

Su Zhengming asked directly: "What does the Du family need?"

Chen Xuan woke up immediately.

Instead of buying gifts, it is better to give spirit stones directly.

The alchemist Du family is very wealthy, so they would rather give spirit stones directly than anything else.

Why bother buying gifts? It’s a waste of time!
At the door, the head of the Du family walked out quickly.

"Deacon Chen, I'm sorry to have cost you so much! Please come in quickly!"

The head of the Du family welcomed Chen Xuan warmly and invited him to the main seat in the main hall, surrounded by the Lingyunxian bosses.

"Oh, it's rare that Deacon Chen is here to attend the Du family's wedding banquet!"

"Chen Xuan has met Elder Zhao, Elder Li, and Elder Huang..."

Chen Xuan bowed and saluted everyone one by one.

There was no way. Everyone present were elders of the sect and foundation-building cultivators, and he was the only Qi-cultivating deacon.

It can be imagined that the Du family respects Chen Xuan very much.

Ordinary deacons, sitting at an adjacent table.

When someone greeted Chen Xuan, he quickly returned the greeting.

But since the head of the Du family asked him to sit in the main seat in the main hall, he would naturally not give up.

The sect's deacons had no objections, and the others, observing the expressions of the people, did not say much.

Ordinary guests were seated in the hall outside.

……

The wedding banquet went smoothly.

There was no incident of marriage robbery.

There are no accusations from ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends.

This made Chen Xuan feel a little bored.

After all, it is in the inner city of Xiancheng.

All the big bosses of the sect are present.

The Du family is also an alchemy family, and there is the old alchemist Du in the sect to take care of them.

In Lingyun City's elixir business, the Du family ranks second in size, second only to the Zhou family of the City Lord's Mansion.

Whether it was the senior leaders sent by the sect to Lingyun City or the various foundation-building families, they all gave face to the Du family and the gifts were very valuable.

The City Lord's Mansion also sent people to deliver gifts, encouraging the Du family to make more and better pills and make more contributions to the development of Lingyun City.

More than ten days after the celebration banquet, the head of the Du family invited Chen Xuan to visit the Du Mansion.

He naturally knew that those monks who sent expensive gifts had something to ask of the Du family.

If they only accept gifts but don't do anything, their reputation will be ruined and it will be difficult for the Du family to develop.

Moreover, some of these monks who sent valuable gifts were people that the Du family did not dare to offend.

Chen Xuan is one of them.

Although he has only completed his Qi training, in the Haotian Secret Realm, it is rumored that he has surpassed the Xuantian Sect to become the top of the list.

Once you enter the sect, you become a deacon.

When he reached the ninth level of Qi training, he cut off the foundation with one sword and swept through the Black Wind Village alone.

I heard that Zhu Jinnian, the head of the sect's law enforcement hall, is very fond of him and is focusing on his training.

After laying the foundation, the future is limitless.

If Chen Xuan still stayed in Lingyunxian, he would definitely be one of the five law enforcement captains.

It is reasonable for him to be promoted to the elder of the sect after accumulating merits over time.

Although the old alchemist Du has an extraordinary status, he is old after all and his life span is not long.

And Chen Xuan is only in his twenties.

How could the Du family offend such a genius from the sect?

The head of the Du family personally entertained Chen Xuan.

After a brief greeting, the head of the Du family asked the newlyweds to come forward and toast Chen Xuan.

They are indeed a perfect match.

After drinking the toast from the newlyweds, the head of the Du family accompanied them personally.

In the Du family's secret room, the head of the Du family told Chen Xuan a shocking news.

"My ancestor has a short lifespan and is about to close his furnace. Without special reasons, he will not open the furnace to refine pills again."

Hearing this, Chen Xuan was shocked.

If Master Du sealed his furnace, it would not be easy for him to find an alchemist of the same level.

"When will Master Du seal the furnace?"

"Only in the next two or three years. After all, I still have some alchemy appointments that I need to complete."

The head of the Du family said frankly, "Deacon Chen is the sect's genius, and the ancestor will definitely give you face. However, if you want to refine the elixir, you need to be quick and prepare the materials as soon as possible."

"If time drags on for too long, the ancestor won't be able to control many things. By then, I'm afraid Deacon Chen will be disappointed."

Chen Xuan nodded.

"I understand. Please ask Patriarch Du to tell Elder Alchemist Du that I will gather the materials for the Thunder-attribute Foundation Establishment Pill as soon as possible."

There are three main materials and eight auxiliary materials. With the help of Li Changkong, Chen Xuan has only the thunder attribute demon pill, thunder spirit flower and soul-devouring vine left to collect.

It is extremely rare for someone like him to gather all the materials for the foundation-building pill and ask the sect's second-level alchemist to help him start refining the pill.

Most of the sect disciples either directly exchanged for the Foundation Establishment Pill or raised funds to condense the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Without a substantial fortune and extensive connections with the sect elders, forget it.

Chen Xuan knew this very well.

Master Du will give him some face because of his great potential.

But this face is only limited to before the furnace is sealed.

In order to live a few more years, the old alchemist Du had to seal the furnace, abide by the agreement, and refuse everyone's request to make elixirs.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to stick to it as long as you make exceptions.

If you offend a powerful person, not only will you die, but your family will also be implicated. A wise person will not do that.

"Thank you, Master Du. Chen Xuan will definitely repay you."

"No, Deacon Chen, we are family, no need to be polite. Deacon Chen will have to take care of the Du family's affairs in the future!"

The head of the Du family smiled and said goodbye to Chen Xuan, personally escorting him to the gate.

After leaving the Du family, Chen Xuan returned home with a heavy heart.

He came to the secret room and took out a jade slip, which contained the recipe for a thunder-attributed foundation-building pill.

This was something Li Changkong had painstakingly obtained for him.

It contains detailed descriptions of various foundation-building materials.

Each one is priceless.

Chen Xuan spent more than 50,000 spirit stones and only collected eight of them.

There is still no news about the most important thunder beast inner elixir.
