Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster-Chapter 476 - 206: Red Toad Mountain, Huo Family Rises to Power (Seeking Subscriptions) !

Chapter 476: Chapter 206: Red Toad Mountain, Huo Family Rises to Power (Seeking Subscriptions) !

That is the true sanctuary for rogue cultivators.

Moreover, Luo Feng Mountain, the main vein, has the potential to rise to third- order status.

Comparatively speaking, Taishan District feels rather barren.

“Also, this place seems to be affected by the aftermath of the war between the two Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects. The power structure here is starting to change,” Li Yixian said slowly.

Luo Chen nodded. This was almost the same information he got from Kang Dongyue.

“Huo Family!”

“Before, even though the Huo Family was stronger, they still had to respect the Taishan Kang Family as the most prestigious because of their connection to the Yu Ding Sword Sect.”

“But now, it is clear that the Yu Ding Sword Sect is consolidating its power. The Flame Alliance has been their vassal for many years, so to keep them bound, the Sect has handed over some things.”

“Like the Taishan District, for example!”

Li Yixian added, “Or perhaps not so much handed over, but rather returned.”

“Hmm.”

Luo Chen agreed with her.

After all, the Taishan District was within the territory of the Flame Alliance.

Over the years, it has been controlled by the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion and the Kang Family, which undoubtedly infringed on the Flame Alliance’s interests.

Now that the great war has started, to consolidate their allies, the Yu Ding Sword Sect will naturally forfeit some things that didn’t belong to them in the first place.

The Huo Family has been providing the Flame Alliance with young disciples every year.

The family has always been a part of the Flame Alliance.

Therefore, now that the Huo Family has taken the lead, the District’s benefits will naturally also be partially given to the Flame Alliance.

Power and status are gradually shifting.

Their timing to visit the Taishan District now seems rather subpar.

“So, even though it seems like approval is needed from the three powers, given the current situation, if you want to stay in the Taishan District, you only need the Huo’s permission!” Luo Chen concluded.

The conclusion made Li Yixian’s mood quite heavy.

It’s impossible for all four of the powers in The Great River District to stay.

There’s a great chance that only one or two will have that opportunity.

Li Yixian took a deep breath. “What do you plan to do, Dan Chenzi?”

“What am I going to do?”

Luo Chen pondered the question and then slowly shook his head.

After a moment of deep thought, he finally said: “We’ll decide after the auction!”

Three days later.

The Huo Family auction!

It wasn’t held under the name of Yu Ding or Taishan District but simply under the name of the “Huo Family”.

Their purpose was clear.

The Huo Family from the Red Toad Mountain seized this opportunity to host the auction. Their aim was to announce their sovereignty over the Taishan District both internally and externally.

From then on, this place would no longer be dominated by the Kang Family or the Yu Ding Sword Sect.

As for why they used the auction as their method.

It’s quite simple.

Only a large power has the resources to host a grand auction.

A small power could only organize something like a black market.

Although it’s called a black market auction, it’s nothing more than a free trading market for rogue cultivators.

Only a large power can gather high-grade materials, elixirs, cultivation techniques, and even have a chance of obtaining magic items.

Furthermore, they can attract many attendees to show off their influence.

If there’re not enough people, the atmosphere can’t be stirred up.

A few people discuss the prices on their own.

Without a steady rise in the bidding, there’re only negotiations and mutual compromises.

Standing at the foot of the Red Toad Mountain, Luo Chen looked up at the towering mountain peak with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Second Order Spirit Land!

Even if they only controlled half of the land shared with the Kang Family of Taishan, it was still Second Order Spirit Land.

What he was most envious of was the presence of an actual Fire Vein here.

Thanks to the configuration of the Flame Alliance’s experts, they were able to harness the Earth Fire. It was a genuine First Order Earth Fire.

It was said that this mountain was a live volcano, home to a type of First Order Demon Beast called the Red Toad.

Hence, the mountain’s name, Red Toad Mountain.

Compared to Xiao Huan Mountain, the difference was immense.

Withdrawing his gaze, Luo Chen subtly looked to the side.

Wang Haichao, Nangong Jin, and Li Yixian were all preparing to enter the mountain with their subordinates.

As for the endless stream of glints, he was not concerned with them.

“Let’s go.”

Luo Chen swept his sleeve and began to ascend the mountain leisurely on a cloud.

Wang Yuan, Sima Huiniang, Duan Feng, and others followed behind him.

Apart from Zeng Wen, Granny Yuan, Sima Wenjie, and the two new Ninth Level Qi Refinement Cultivators that were chosen to stay behind to guard the base, everyone else of the Ninth Level Qi Refinement Cultivators in Luo Tian Creed was taken with him.

Altogether, there were ten people, plus Qu Lingjun, the beginner disciple.

Even without discussing the number of resources to be auctioned, it’s still good to broaden their horizons.

However, when they reached the freshly built palace halfway up, this so-called “worldliness” turned out to be somewhat disappointing.

The dense crowd was blocked outside the palace gate.

“What’s going on ahead?”

Luo Chen frowned.

Sima Huiniang nodded at her younger brother, Sima Wenjie, who immediately stepped into line and ran to the front.

It didn’t take long for him to quickly return.

” Reporting to the president, the channel was blocked because of some trouble caused by a rogue cultivator who offered an item for auction,” he explained.

“Hmm?”

Sima Wenjie immediately explained the situation in detail.

Apparently, a rogue cultivator had offered a Thousand-Year Spirit Grass.

However, due to the property of profound items masking their own powers, the Spirit Light of this Spirit Grass appeared very dim.

As a result, an elder of the Huo Family only appraised it to be five hundred years old.

The difference in value between Thousand-Year Spirit Grass and Five Hundred Year Spirit Grass is like night and day.

Cause of this, that rogue cultivator stirred up trouble.

The Huo Family elder initially insisted he did not make an error in his assessment.

But then, a Foundation Establishment true cultivator from the Spirit Medicine Hall happened to pass by, glanced at it, and casually announced the actual age of the Spirit Grass.

In the end, the elder in charge of appraisal ended up being the butt of the joke.
