Reuniting with Lan Ruo, Progenitor of the Luohe Sect, Who Was Now Like a Dog That Had Lost Its Master
After his cultivation level exceeded Core Formation Stage, Luo Chuan did not continue to practice here, but came to Ice Snow City, mainly because he wanted to see who refined Tianli Pill.
Tianli Pill is extremely precious. Among the entire Huofen Kingdom, there are only more than thirty pieces, and all of them are refined from the Luohe Sect.
Now appearing in Snow Domain State, it means that the disciples of the Luohe Sect joined here.
Following Snow Domain State's rules, Luo Chuan soon arrived at Fang City near Ice Snow City, which was where the alchemists in the city gathered.
The strongest person in this city is already a Early Spirit Severing Realm monk, who is also a Grade 6 Alchemist and has a very high status in the entire Ice Snow City.
Even the old woman Chong Ying had to call her master after seeing him.
After all, no matter which world they are in, alchemists have always had a noble status. Even if they only have Early Spirit Severing Realm cultivation, they will attract many Late Spirit Severing Realm Dzogchen masters to call them brothers.
"Does this fellow Daoist want to refine elixirs or buy medicinal materials?"
A Foundation Establishment Realm monk standing in front of the stage slowly raised his head, looked at the masked Luo Chuan who walked in, and asked with a smile.
"Refining elixirs."
Luo Chuan replied.
After hearing these words, the monk walked over, personally invited Luo Chuan to sit down, and poured him a cup of tea, "Zhou Tong in Xiafang City, I wonder how many elixirs you want to refine?"
"Third grade Tianli Pill."
Zhou Tong frowned and said with a strange look, "Third-grade elixir... I'm afraid the price will require several high-grade spiritual stones, and the required medicinal materials will be paid by fellow Daoists themselves."
Luo Chuan was not stingy either. With a wave of his right hand, several high-grade spiritual stones shining with colorful colors appeared in front of Zhou Tong.
When he saw the high-grade spiritual stone, Zhou Tong beamed with joy and said immediately, "In that case, fellow Daoist, please come with me. I will arrange for the alchemist to refine the third-grade elixir for you."
There are eight floors in this market, and the alchemists on each floor have different levels. Among them, the strongest one, Grade 6 Alchemist, is at the top.
And not everyone can refine it.
Only the Spirit Severing Realm monks from Snow Domain State are qualified to set foot there, and the remaining juniors almost do not have this qualification.
The seventh level is the fifth-grade alchemist. These alchemists are only responsible for the elixirs required by the Nascent Soul Realm and Early Spirit Severing Realm. They are also not specifically responsible for the requirements of ordinary monks.
Zhou Tong brought Luo Chuan to the fourth floor, gently knocked on the door, and said, "There is a fellow Daoist who wants to refine Tianli Pill. Who in our city can do it?"
The old man in the room opened his eyes and said calmly, "Go to the basement level. There is a junior there who can make Tianli Pill."
"As commanded."
Zhou Tong bowed respectfully to the old man in the room, and then invited with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, please come with me."
Luo Chuan asked slightly curiously, "Fellow Daoist, why do we have to go to the underground level?"
"On the underground floor are the alchemists that we Snow Domain State captured from other cultivation countries. Those guys would rather die than surrender, so they were locked up and tortured day and night. Finally, they slowly chose to agree to the refining."
"But after all, they are not local monks from Snow Domain State. The elders are more wary, so we let them practice in the underground layer."
Zhou Tong led Luo Chuan towards the stone steps deep in Fang City, while lowering his voice and adding, "These foreign alchemists are stubborn. Many of them would rather destroy the alchemy furnace than take action."
"Later, the elders cut off their cultivation resources, forcing them to relent, but don't worry, their skills in refining medicine have not been lost, especially Tianli Pill. Most of the inventory of Snow Domain State in recent years was made by the person on the underground floor."
The stone steps wind down, and the deeper you go, the stronger the smell of medicine becomes in the air, mixed with a hint of rust.
At the end, a thick iron door blocked the way. Zhou Tong skillfully took out the token from his arms and swiped it on the door. With a click, the iron door slowly opened.
Behind the door is a spacious stone room. There are several old alchemy furnaces on the stone platform. The fire is weak. Several monks in gray clothes are lowering their heads and handling medicinal materials with numb expressions.
These are alchemists from other cultivation countries who were captured by Snow Domain State strong men and imprisoned here, refining elixirs day and night.
Zhou Tong looked around, came to an iron gate, kicked the iron gate twice with his feet, and said displeased, "Come on, refine a Tianli Pill for this fellow Daoist."
Hearing the voice of Zhou Tong, the woman lying on the bed slowly sat up and took out her alchemy furnace magic weapon with dull eyes.
With the faint light of the fire, Luo Chuan also saw the appearance of this alchemist who could refine Tianli Pill.
When he saw the other party's appearance, Luo Chuan's expression changed obviously. He did not expect that the dignified ancestor Nascent Soul Middle Stage of the Luohe Sect would become what he is today.
That's right, the woman in front of you is Luohe Sect Progenitor Lan Ruo who still has the charm and strength of the past!
Lan Ruo's long hair is as withered as grass, hanging casually on her shoulders. There are still a few uncleaned medicinal residues entangled in her hair. The hair that should have been like ink has long lost its luster and is dull gray-yellow.
The cheeks are severely sunken and the cheekbones are high, making the eyes that once looked brighter become more hollow and sunken. Under the eyes are black and blue bruises, as if they are covered with a layer of ash that cannot be washed away.
The gray cloth clothes she wore were old and torn, with frayed edges at the cuffs and hem. Her exposed wrists were so thin that they seemed to break at a single break, and her skin clung to the jagged joints, glowing with a pale color that had not seen the light of day for a long time.
Only the heavily worn Luohe Sect jade pendant between her neck can still vaguely see the lines of the past, but the edges of the jade pendant have long been bumped and bumpy, just like her dilapidated appearance now, and she can no longer find half of the charm of her ancestor Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
Zhou Tong drooled all over the floor and said disdainfully, "It is said that this woman was once a fifth-grade alchemist. Back then, she would rather die than obey. Her cultivation was sealed by the ancestor, and she was thrown here to refine elixirs day and night."
"Tianli Pill only takes half a month to successfully refine. Fellow Daoist, you can choose to wait here, or you can return to Fangshi with me."
Luo Chuan took a deep breath of hot air, turned around, and said calmly, "I'll wait here. I'm sorry to bother you, fellow Daoist."
"It doesn't matter." Zhou Tong waved his hand and said, "In that case, I will go up first. If fellow Daoist wants to leave, you can ring the bell at the door and I will naturally open the iron door for you."
Watching Zhou Tong turn and leave, Luo Chuan came to the iron gate, took off the mask on his face, and said in a calm voice, "Sister Lan Ruo, I haven't seen you for more than a hundred years. I didn't expect you to look like this."
Hearing the words "Sister Lan Ruo", Lan Ruo, who was refining the elixir, was suddenly shocked and quickly turned around to look at the door.
