Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 528: Chapter 225: Master of Food Fragrance, Three Fragrances Four Flavors_2

But Luo Chen knew that he had suffered severe injuries before.

What he needs most now is a safe and abundant spirit land to recover from his injuries.

Li Yixian was looking out the window, her eyes were filled with different colors, and surprise would occasionally flash across her face.

The vivid expression on her face was very much like a little girl visiting a big city for the first time.

It contrasted starkly with the clan leader she was at the inn, who was arguing with the innkeeper over every little thing.

Perhaps, this is the real her.

At this time, Luo Chen was also interested in the scenery outside the car.

Especially the tall buildings and shops.

“So many robes?”

“Senior, that’s Tianyi Building, which specializes in selling robes, especially robes for female cultivators. The family backing it is the Chen family of Tianyi District.”

“The Chen family of Tianyi District?”

“Yes, they are an Immortal Cultivation Clan. They have three Foundation Establishment True Cultivators within their ranks and have deep ties with the Ice Castle. Moreover, they are located close to Tian Lan Immortal City. That’s why they could occupy a prime location and open Tianyi Building.”

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

This type of Immortal Cultivation Clan is quite similar to the Huo and Duan families. Both have more or less connections with the Flame Alliance and Luo Yun Sect.

But the Chen family of Tianyi District is far superior than the two.

His eyes fell on a building, and faintly, a pungent yet refreshing fragrance wafted over.

“What do they sell?”

“Food Fragrance Pavilion, a power that specializes in researching various peculiar fragrances. Their Three Fragrances and Four Flavors are very popular among cultivators.”

“Three Fragrances and Four Flavors?”

“The Three Fragrances refer to the Soul Summoning Fragrance, Fierce Divine Fragrance and Alien Body Fragrance.”

Luo Chen became interested.

“What are these three fragrances used for, and why are they popular among cultivators?”

Li Yixian who was looking at the city scenery on the side also curiously listened in.

Even Nangong Jin opened his eyes.

Being stared at by three Foundation Establishment cultivators at once, even the thick-skinned Xu Xiao Liu felt the pressure at this moment.

He composed himself and explained carefully: “As its name implies, the Soul Summoning Fragrance draws souls.”

“Generally, after the death of a cultivator, if they have not yet reached the Nascent Soul Stage, their Divine Soul will dissipate in the environment.”

Luo Chen nodded.

This fact is common knowledge in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Once a cultivator dies, their soul returns to the Nine You and they reincarnate.

Only after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage can one barely escape this constraint, forming an indomitable divine soul, thus committing to a state of immortality.

Besides that, it could also be due to a special post-war environment.

Like the battle in The Great River District back then, where the simultaneous destruction of the three Ghost Kings turned an area into a Ghost Realm.

Those cultivators who died in the Ghost Realm, affected by the special environment, will turn their souls into Yin Souls and Ghostly Spirits, allowing them to continue existing in this world.

“But if you have Soul Summoning Fragrance at hand and light it with your own blood, there’s a high likelihood of summoning souls related to your bloodline or ones that have deep connections with you.”

“Generally, it is the family cultivators who purchase this fragrance.”

“If a clan member dies in battle, they will light this fragrance, and with the help of the bloodline connection, bring the departed soul back to the clan’s Spirit Land to let it dissipate.”

“Doing so will highly possibly allow the deceased cultivator to reincarnate back into the clan in the future.”

“If they are fortunate enough, they might even recall part of their past life’s memories!”

After saying this, Xu Xiao Liu let out a sigh of relief.

Nangong Jin’s face showed excitement, “Can it really have such miraculous effects?”

He pursed his lips and said, “I only heard about this on the grapevine. For specifics, seniors will have to inquire in the store for themselves.”

Nangong Jin turned his head and took a deep look at the location of the Food Fragrance Pavilion.

It seemed as if he wanted to remember this place in his mind.

Xu Xiao Liu glanced at Luo Chen and saw him nodding.

So, he continued speaking:

“I am quite confident about Fierce Divine Fragrance.”

“It’s a cultivation aid similar to Calming Incense.”

“However, unlike the moderate effects of the Calming Incense from the Spirit Medicine Hall, the Fierce Divine Fragrance has a potent effect and is suitable only for those with sufficiently deep Divine Soul Endowments.”

“Usually, it is purchased by Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.”

A cultivation aid similar to Calming Incense?

Luo Chen was pondering this phrase, planning to visit and have a look when he had time.

He prided himself on having a not-so-weak Divine Soul Endowment that far exceeded his peers.

He just didn’t know if he could compare to Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators or use Fierce Divine Fragrance.

“Alien Body Fragrance is simple; it has nothing to do with cultivation. It’s just something that exudes a scent that best matches the cultivator’s physique when used.”

“Female cultivators are the main customers.”

“It’s said that the body fragrance generated can linger for several months!”

Li Yixian’s eyes lit up.

His mood then seemed to darken, as if he had thought of something depressing.

“Three Fragrances Four Flavors, we’ve talked about the three fragrances. The four flavors refer to sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy…”

“Even though most of them are not used for Cultivation, thanks to their unique effects, Food Fragrance Pavilion’s products are quite popular in Tian Lan Immortal City.”

Xu Xiao Liu gave a summary.

Listening to him, the three of them, including Luo Chen, were quite interested.

These items are far from what they can encounter in such remote places as The Great River District.

Among these, all three were interested in several and wanted to have a look at them.

Not to mention anything else, just Soul Summoning Fragrance alone already made the must-buy list of both Li Yixian and Nangong Jin!

Luo Chen curiously asked, “Hearing you talk like this, Food Fragrance Pavilion does great business, earning hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones every year. Isn’t there anyone who is jealous?”

What he meant by jealousy includes things like invasion, plunder, imitation, competition, and so on.

It’s not an unusual occurrence.

Just take his own example.

Because the profit margin for the elixirs is extremely high, the net profit during the Medium Grade Jade Marrow Pill era alone could be tens of thousands a year.

For this, most of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in The Great River District were incredibly coveted.

It’s impossible that the Food Fragrance Pavilion, even more so than him, could still be doing good business.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xiao Liu just laughed.

“Who dares?!”

“No one dares.”

“The Food Fragrance Pavilion is the property of the Master of Food Fragrance, the Ascendant Master.”

Ascendant Master!

Luo Chen’s expression changed.

Under Xu Xiao Liu’s explanation, he was aware that Food Fragrance Pavilion is a private asset of a Golden Core Elder from Hundred Flowers Palace.

She is a very powerful female cultivator, known as the Master of Food Fragrance. Except for two Nascent Soul True Masters currently, most of the Yu Ding Realm owes her some respect.

Next, as the Giant Tiger Puppet Car progressed, they saw more varied and different existences.

Among these, there were big businesses like Wanbao Pavilion and Spirit Medicine Hall, both owned by Nascent Soul Stage giants!

However, unlike the previous shops that specialized in certain resources.

The Wanbao Pavilion and Spirit Medicine Hall in Tianlan Immortal City are undoubtedly like giant monopolies!

Just the store buildings themselves occupy several acres!

Luo Chen compared them and came to the conclusion that:

Shops like Feathers Clothes Building and the Food Fragrance Pavilion are similar to specialty stores that sell a certain “single” resource.

Whilst the Wanbao Pavilion and Spirit Medicine Hall are kind of like massive supermarkets, not limited to a certain specialty product.

If a cultivator had a specific requirement, they would naturally choose a specialty store.

If not, and they just want to find what fits them, they would go to the supermarket to have a look around and make their purchase.

A question emerged in the minds of the three.

“If I were to settle in Tianlan Immortal City, how would I make a living?”

Nangong Jin didn’t feel too perturbed, as there were only over a dozen people in his family left, quite easy to handle.

If worst comes to worst, he could arrange for their clan members to find a job and make ends meet temporarily.

Li Yixian, on the other hand, had an exceptionally gloomy look on his face.

The Li Family was undoubtedly best at taming Spirit Beasts.

However, this line of business had already been picked up by several establishments in Tianlan Immortal City along their journey.

Those that sold Demon Beast meat, traded Demon Beast fur, and even those that directly sold juvenile stage Spirit Beasts.

As for Luo Chen, the look on his face was one of hesitation and doubt.

There wasn’t any confusion or disarray, though.

He himself excelled at the Pill Refinement Technique, and he had a group of cultivators from Luo Tian Creed at his command.

If he scaled up the production of pills, providing for himself would certainly not be a problem.

The only thing that made him hesitate was what kind of elixir to sell!

After all, he hadn’t done any market research.

Whether his best Jade Marrow Pill was popular in Tianlan Immortal City was still unknown.

“After I return, I must ask Hui Niang to go and find out a thing or two.”

Firstly, conduct thorough research, and then develop a targeted strategy, so as not to suffer a total loss.

While the three were deep in thought, time was passing swiftly.

The Giant Tiger Puppet Car had traversed more than half the city and arrived in front of a white palace.

Xu Xiao Liu hopped off the car.

“Elders, we’ve arrived at Binglan Palace!”

Stepping off the car and lifting his head to gaze at the ice palace before him, built like it was constructed with millennium-old ice, emanating a chilling aura, Luo Chen tidied his robes a bit.

Then, he stepped inside.
