Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Immortal Bean, Beef, Popcorn!—1

Translator: 549690339 |

The Dao Debate Platform has been open for half a month now.

The impact it brought to The Great River District over this half-month has been huge!

Perhaps it was to nurture the atmosphere of battle, or to stimulate the interest of the audience in watching the games.

Either way, the local Yu Ding Sword Pavilion put up generous rewards.

For fighting against a Rank Demon Beast of the same order, the winner can obtain all the materials of that demon beast.

In high order cultivator battles, the winner can win one magic tool wagered by the opponent before the match.

The top three in the local monthly ranking can even win an ascendant grade magic tool, an elixir, or even a cultivation technique!

Not only that, based on the importance of the match, the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion can adjust the ticket prices flexibly. On normal days, the lowest ticket can be bought for only ten spirit stones.

For those who resell tickets, once caught, they would be sent to the Red Pillar Prison for a month, and they would have to participate in a duel of the same rank in order to be released.

It is said that there was a shameless individual who had sold a ticket worth a hundred spirit stones for two hundred.

Somebody got shot while lying down.

Qin Liangchen’s middle stage of Qi Refinement battles is a standard set by the local Sword Pavilion a few days ago.

Qi Refinement Cultivators are segmented into three stages: the early, middle, and late stages.

If a middle-stage cultivator wins a match, they can’t gain the opponent’s magic tool, but they can gain a bottle of Qi Nurturing Pill given by the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion, worth one hundred spirit stones.

If they maintain first place in the monthly ranking, they can win ten bottles of

Qi Nurturing Pills!

Ten bottles!

That’s one hundred of them, enough for continuous cultivation for over three months.

For a while, countless foreign rogue cultivators rushed to participate in the

Dao Debate Platform competition!

Many of the foreign rogue cultivators who came to The Great River District half

a month ago have also decided to stay.

According to them, the newly opened Dao Debate Platform usually offers higher rewards than the old ones in other places.

These staying rogue cultivators are the main participants in the competition. Following Qin Liangchen’s gaze, Luo Chen glimpsed at the giant jade pendant. Except for the rankings, it also showed the number of battles happening today, reaching more than twenty matches.

Today, blood is bound to flow like a river!

Of course, ordinary fights weren’t deathmatches. You stop when hit enough, with referees ready to intervene at any time.

It can be said that the Dao Debate Platform is indeed a great place for cultivators to debate the Dao and display their martial skills.

“Although you don’t have many magic tools at hand, they are excellent enough. Whether it’s the Jade Sword or the Soul Breaking Nail, they are absolutely invincible in the middle stage of Qi Refinement.”

“Not to mention that spell that you easily use, even I, being in the late stage of

Qi Refinement, must be extremely careful.”

“If you add your sinister combat style, I believe that taking the number-one place in the monthly ranking is just a walk in the park!”

Qin Liangchen’s praise was flowing out like there was no price to pay.

To this, Luo Chen only rolled his eyes dramatically.

■■There’s no such good thing, with more battle experiences, others will get accustomed to my combat style and magic tool, and I will lose sooner or later.” “Qizhi Li from Baiyu Valley of Li Family in The Great River District kept the number one spot for ten days relying on an ascendant-grade flying sword, only to be driven down by a foreign rogue cultivator.”

No one in the world is unbeatable. Once your information gets thoroughly

investigated,

Loss is inevitable, sooner or later.

If you let mortal enemies find out and research all sorts of countermeasures, you could end up dying in the wilderness.

Luo Chen would never put himself in the spotlight for some rewards.

And besides, who said earning spirit stones from the Dao Debate Platform only involves going up there and fighting?

Luo Chen walked to a small square opposite to the jade pendant, where a small stall was setting up.

“Xiao Yue, how’s business today?”

In front of the stall, a girl who was only seventeen or eighteen years old was squatting there.

On hearing this, her face turned rosy and she immediately stood up.

With her fingers interlocking, she said shyly: “I sold seven portions of immortal Beans, five portions of beef jerky, thirteen portions of popcorn, and only ten bottles of pineapple wine. I made a total of thirty-five spirit stones.” Luo Chen frowned, “I just saw that there are twenty-five matches in total today, right? There must be at least four or five thousand spectators, right? Why did you sell so little?”

Xiao Yue was about to cry while fiddling with her fingers.

Seeing Luo Chen harassing the little girl this way, Qin Liangchen intervened: “These little things of yours, the total cost of ten portions is not even one spirit stone. You dare to sell one portion for one spirit stone, others would feel embarrassed being this ripped off!”

“Hey, hey, hey, you can’t talk nonsense. The Immortal Beans are my exclusive secret recipe, and the popcorn is even exploded with spirit rice combined with my unique technique. That Pineapple Wine is a masterpiece of Yue Jianhu’s old father, the former Medicine Hall master of the Broken Mountain Gang. Are they not worth one spirit stone per portion?”

Luo Chen argued fervently, face flushed and neck thickened, his spit almost spraying onto Qin Liangchen’s face.

Qin Liangchen was dumbfounded, could it be that he really couldn’t recognize a good deal when he saw one?

Miss Xiao Yue pursed her lips, tears nearly plopping down.

She felt so useless. Such a good product, yet she couldn’t sell it.

Seeing this, Luo Chen couldn’t help letting out a sigh. This Yuan Xiaoyue was the only daughter of Yue Jianhu, the former Master of the Medicine Hall of the Broken Mountain Gang.

Yue Jianhu died on the Dao Debate Platform, leaving behind an elderly father with a broken leg and a daughter who was at the second level of Qi refinement. Previously, Mi Shuhua had promised to take good care of the family of those who died in battle, but in reality, he just arranged some relatively secure jobs in the gang for them.

Barely earning enough to get by!

As for trying to earn Spirit Stones to buy elixirs, that was extremely difficult. In reality, ordinary gang members barely manage to earn some Spirit Stones to support their cultivation.

The bulk of it was taken by the top leaders of each hall and even the gang leader.

This kind of care was just right, it let them survive without arousing jealousy, but it was absolutely impossible for them to make progress.

For the past half month, because he needed to familiarize himself with the gang’s affairs and also focus on his cultivation, Luo Chen simply stopped producing the Allure Pills.

Perfect timing, under the pretext of helping Qin Liangchen, one of the four great elders, restore his status, he muddled through some gang affairs and pushed his Technique Proficiency to the limit without hesitation.

And surprisingly, his progress shot up.

He even earned Qin Liangchen’s evaluation of being “invincible in the Middle Stage, capable of fighting in the Late Stage .

However, his frequent visits to the Dao Debate Platform led to him discovering a business opportunity.

Not selling scalped tickets!

instead, it was to supply snacks like Immortal Beans, popcorn, and beef jerky for cultivators watching the battles, especially during some uninteresting fights which could get too boring.

Later, he heard from the Medicine Hall that Yue Jianhu enjoyed a fruit wine brewed by his old father, and he promptly approached the old man to see if he could brew in large quantities to sell to him.

The old man didn’t refuse, but he made one condition: Luo Chen had to look after Yuan Xiaoyue.

As for why he had this condition.

It’s quite simple, Luo Chen could be considered a rising star in the Broken Mountain Gang.

He was the ex-guardian and current elder, as well as Wang Yuan’s little brother.

Also, he was a good brother and neighbor to another elder, Qin Liangchen, and he sweetly called Murong Qinglian, the hall master of the Medicine Hall, “sister-in-law” everyday.

Moreover, Sick Tiger Zeng Wen, who stood at the entrance of the combat hall, visited Luo Chen every now and then. Each time the two of them talked, they were so intimate!

Tsk tsk, anyone who saw this network of relationships would be confident of Luo Chen’s limitless future.

Luo Chen agreed without hesitation.

After all, he needed someone to sell these snacks.

Yuan Xiao Yue was a gentle and delicate girl, which made her perfect for the role of a sales clerk!

However, it seemed that this decision was a bit hasty.

Yuan Xiaoyue previously led a good life under the protection of her father, Yue Jianhu, and her character was too weak.

After signing, Luo Chen waved his hand. Yuan Xiaoyue was bewildered for a moment before she vacated the stall and Luo Chen took her place.

Qin Liangchen was confused about what Luo Chen was doing.

The next moment, he found himself blushing and hiding in a quiet corner. “Popcorn, pineapple wine! Beef Jerky, so delicious!

“Watch the cultivators battle while tasting the life of an Immortal path, one Immortal Bean contains the wisdom of the Great Dao Path!”

“Come on, take a look. With just one Spirit Stone, you can get a big bag of popcorn made from Spirit Rice.”

“Eating popcorn while watching the match and cultivating, how wonderful!” Under the amplification of spirit power, his loud and clear voice resounded for several miles.

Whether it was the audience in front of the jade screen, the gamblers in the gambling stalls, or the ticket-selling cultivators at the entrance, they all looked over in unison.

They saw a handsome man grinning, revealing a row of white teeth. “Immortal Beans, beef jerky, popcorn! Come and take a look!”
