Chapter 59 Crowdfunding Alchemy
Lu Chang'an and Du Wei were just nodding acquaintances in the neighborhood.
The other party's invitation to drink the wedding wine, if there is no solicitation, is nothing more than a means of enrichment. Ordinary cultivators, especially casual cultivators, spend their lives in pursuit of pills.
Cultivation, break through the ranks, healing, repel poison, face, life extension...... to name a few.
There is always the possibility of seeking a dan master one day.
So, when neighbors receive an invitation, they will more or less show their appreciation.
Lu Chang'an didn't have much of a need for ordinary pills.
However, large realm breaking pills, such as the Foundation Establishment Pill, must be obtained.
The Evergreen Kung Fu has been around for a long time, bringing with it deep roots and foundations, pure mana, and long chakras.
He speculated that breaking through a major realm would have at least a slight increase.
Combined with the experience of his previous life, there might be a decent chance of advancement without the Foundation Establishment Pill.
But who wouldn't want a greater certainty of breaking through the realm?
If one fails to break through to a major realm, one will suffer a great deal of damage to one's vitality and more or less damage to one's foundation.
Lu Chang'an had no longevity to worry about, so he naturally wanted to maximize his chances of winning.
......
Three days later.
Du Wei's "Danshin Residence" was decorated with lights and colors, and there was an endless stream of cultivators coming and going to congratulate him.
"Zhang Hong, thirty copies of one catty of Ice and Snow Fruit."
"Senior Chen, twenty Spirit Stones."
At the entrance of the mansion, there was a butler specializing in tallying the congratulatory gifts, and there were cultivators chanting.
Lu Chang'an went forward and handed over the gift list and gift box.
"Master Lu Fu! Two first-order top-grade talismans! Six First Order Medium Grade Talismans,"
The yells got a little bit higher.
Lu Chang'an's congratulatory gift, six middle-grade talismans and two top-grade talismans, all of ordinary quality.
The value of the gift is seventy to eighty spirit stones, which is equivalent to a lower-grade talisman, so this gift is worth a lot.
For Lu Chang'an's talisman art, the cost was less than one-third.
A top-grade talisman is equivalent to an ordinary late-stage Qi refining spell, and its power is inferior to that of a middle-grade magic weapon activated by a late-stage Qi refining spell.
The advantage of a talisman is that it only requires a small amount of mana to activate.
The disadvantage of talismans is that they are one-time consumables, and their power is not as powerful as that of the magic weapons and secret spells of the same ranked cultivators, and their accuracy is also almost the same.
After the seventh level of Qi Refining, Lu Chang'an was ready to refine second-order talismans, and due to his strong Divine Sense, he was able to do so with a high degree of certainty.
Only, the materials for second-order talismans were too rare!
Second-order talisman pen, second-order spirit ink, second-order talisman paper, how easy is it to get all these together?
It can't be collected too blatantly either.
Currently, Lu Changan had only gotten a few pieces of second-order talisman paper of poor quality, and the spirit ink and talisman pens he used were all first-order.
When he attempted to draw, he only managed to produce two poor quality second rank talismans.
In terms of power, it is comparable to a high-quality Golden Sword Talisman.
The high-quality Golden Sword Talisman is at the threshold of Foundation Establishment.
Lu Chang'an is also a clever woman who can't cook without rice. He can only wait until he has gathered all the materials to make more second-order talismans in the future.
......
"Master Lu Fu, you've gone through a lot of trouble! Please go inside."
Du Wei hears the sound of He Li's voice and enthusiastically welcomes him out.
Inviting Lu Chang'an to the main hall to be seated, enjoying a small table alone.
The treatment is fundamentally different from the public banquet in the courtyard.
For example, Daoist Master Guan and his disciples, who sent congratulatory gifts worth a few spirit stones, were seated in the courtyard.
"Miss Su, congratulatory gift of one hundred spirit stones and a medium-grade magic weapon."
At the entrance of the mansion, an even higher, uplifting voice was heard.
A crowd of cultivators looked sideways, their faces showing surprise.
The owner of the gift was none other than Su Yue Tong.
This gift is equivalent to two to three hundred spirit stones, and is the most valuable gift of the day.
Lu Changan was also surprised.
The value of the gift he sent is already considered high, after all, it is only a concubine banquet.
"For this woman to be so generous, I'm afraid it's the man behind her that has a request for Master Hua Dan."
Lu Chang'an pondered.
It was highly likely that he was just like him, scheming for the Foundation Establishment Pill!
Other needs don't have to pay such a price.
Lu Chang'an was still some years away from Foundation Establishment and had plenty of life, so he wasn't in that much of a hurry.
Looking at Su Yue Tong's handiwork, the man behind her might be in some hurry, having stayed at the ninth level of Qi Refining for many years, she wanted to knock on the door of the Huadan Master as soon as possible.
"Master Lu Dan."
Su Yue Tong was graceful, her voice soft and charming as she greeted, sitting on Lu Chang An's upper head.
At the banquet, Su Yue Tong, with a thousand charming, beautiful eyes that tantalized the soul, tried to say: "Master Lu Dan can sit in the main hall, I think the congratulatory gift must be not expensive, I don't know what I want from Master Du Dan."
"Nothing, simply want to make friends with Du Dan Shi."
Lu Changan smiled faintly and answered perfunctorily.
He didn't care what Su Yue Tong suspected.
Perhaps the other party thought that he had moved next door to Du Wei in order to plot the Foundation Establishment Pill for the forces behind him.
......
Du Wei is very good at what he does.
After a few days of celebration, he invited those who had heavy congratulatory gifts to come to his house as guests.
Du Wei naturally knows that those who send heavy gifts to the cultivators, most of them have a request for themselves.
If he only receives gifts and doesn't do anything, he will lose his reputation, who will send him favors in the future?
Moreover, certain cultivators who sent gifts, Du Wei didn't dare to offend easily, either had backgrounds or were powerful.
Lu Changan and Su Yue Tong, the two neighbors, were in the same group of invited cultivators.
Du Wei personally entertained the two of them and was relatively polite.
"The two of you, one is as gentle as jade and the other is a stunning beauty, it's a match made in heaven."
Du Wei laughed and praised them, his mustache twitching slightly.
"Ai, Rune Master Lu can't look at a broken flower like my concubine."
Su Yue Tong's gaze is so sad that she looks like a weak willow.
"Mister Lu's cultivation is shallow, almost fifty years old, not worthy of Miss Su."
Lu Changan said expressionlessly.
If he didn't know that there was a big man at the 9th level of Qi Refining who visited Su Yue Tong's compound late at night, he would have thought that this woman had some interest in him.
After all, Lu Chang'an's appearance and temperament in this life was really good.
Du Wei was only joking to liven up the atmosphere, and had no intention to set up the two of them.
He was actually quite jealous of Su Yue Tong, but he didn't dare to provoke her.
......
After the meal is over.
Du Wei invited the two of them to enjoy the flowers in the courtyard.
During this time, he had a private conversation with Su Yue Tong and Lu Chang An respectively.
When Su Yue Tong and Du Wei were talking, they set up soundproofing spells, but they couldn't hide it from Lu Chang An's powerful divine sense.
It was just as Lu Changan had guessed.
During the conversation, Su Yue Tong indicated that she wanted to get to know Master Hua Dan. The man behind her wants to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Miss Su, my master's alchemy appointments are all lined up for ten years from now. You know, there are quite a few big powers in the city, and it's not good for my master to offend them."
Du Wei had a difficult look on his face.
"One more thing, to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, you have to bring your own materials, it's best to gather materials together with other cultivators."
It would be very difficult to gather all the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill based on one's personal ability alone.
Only the great powers of the Immortals can do it.
If you gather a complete set of materials, a senior second-ranked dan master will open the furnace to make a dan, and more often than not, more than one dan will be made.
Lu Chang'an knew this only too well.
To put it bluntly, it is crowdfunded alchemy.
"The materials, we have prepared a portion of them, one or two of the main materials are quite troublesome."
Su Yue Tong replied.
Finally, she softly begged:
"I also hope that Master Du Dan will help introduce Senior Hua, I will be grateful!"
Master Hua Dan, who had once helped a casual cultivator to make a Foundation Establishment Pill, had a good reputation.
As long as you can get in touch with Master Hua Dan, you will be able to cooperate with other cultivators who are collecting Foundation Establishment Pill materials and have a chance to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Mister Du will do his best! Truth be told, it's been difficult for me to see my master for the past few years."
Du Wei sighed and reluctantly said.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Du." Su Yue Tong's eyes were moist and her voice was fluffy.
......
After that, Du Wei chatted with Lu Chang'an alone for a while.
During the conversation, Du Wei tried to find out what he wanted.
"It's only been two or three years since Mister Lu ascended to the seventh level of Qi Refining, so I don't have much need for pills at the moment. However, it's not easy to meet a neighbor who is a senior dan master, so I naturally want to interact more."
Lu Chang'an said smilingly, not revealing his intentions at first.
Even if he did, Du Wei would most likely think that it was the person behind him who wanted to refine the Foundation Establishment Dan.
"It is to come and go more often! I've heard that fellow Daoist Lu's talisman skills are not bad, I believe that we will be able to get what we need in the future."
Dewey smiled brightly. He heard the implication that Lu Chang'an had no needs now, but he would most likely have something to ask for in the future.
In that case, Lu Chang'an would definitely bring him some benefits during the relationship.
"By the way, I used to pick up an alchemist's inheritance in the secular world. After organizing it later, I will gift it to Master Du Dan to take a look."
At the end of the conversation, Lu Changan threw out a small bait.
"Alchemist's legacy? What level is it?"
Du Wei's eyes lit up.
"I don't know much about it... it's at least a first-order upper-grade dan master inheritance. It might be a crippled second rank inheritance."
Lu Chang'an said ambiguously.
"Master Lu Dan has the heart!"
Du Wei's tone got a lot closer.
A first rank upper grade inheritance that he could use as a reference to improve his skills.
If it was a second rank inheritance, it would be much more attractive to him.
Although Du Wei was the disciple of a second-order dan master, but when the teacher definitely had reservations, the core skills would only be granted to the mantle heir.
......
The Danshin Residence is leaving the Danshin Residence.
Lu Changan secretly nodded his head, drawing close to Du Wei, this step was successfully completed.
He has more than one Alchemist Inheritance in his hands.
There are three copies of the Second Order Alchemist Inheritance that he remembered from his previous life.
Together with the one Second Order Alchemist Inheritance he received from Liang Shaotian, there were a total of four.
This kind of inheritance of a dan master, naturally, more is better.
On the contrary, it was the cold body refining techniques and the way of puppets that he didn't pay much attention to in his previous life due to his limited energy.
Lu Changan was prepared to take out the worst of the second-order lower grade dan master's inheritance and give a portion of it to Du Wei first, as bait.
When the friendship deepens and the fish takes the bait, are you afraid that Du Wei won't help you?
