Chapter 686: Rising to Fame!

Cangling Palace.

After entering, Wei Hong began to walk towards the stalls with great skill.

If he could trade for cheaper spiritual flowers and herbs or various materials from these stalls, it would definitely be worth it for him.

Although the materials in large shops such as Baoqixuan or Yuandetang are more complete, the prices are not cheap. Whether buying or selling, they need to make a profit from it. Unless necessary, he does not want to deal with those large shops.

"Huh, Xuanjing Flower? And Yangyan Grass?"

After strolling for a while, Wei Hong suddenly stopped in front of a stall.

He first looked at the things on the stall, and then asked directly: "Daoyou, how much are your Xuanjing Flower and Yangyan Grass?"

The two spiritual flowers and herbs he liked are one of the main materials needed to refine Zhengyang Pill.

Wei Hong's current cultivation has reached the third level of foundation building. The medicinal power of Yuhua Pill is not enough for him. Only Zhengyang Pill is more suitable, so he plans to mainly refine Zhengyang Pill in the future.

The stall owner in front of him was a middle-aged man with a monk's figure but a relatively ordinary appearance. He looked up at Wei Hong and replied, "If you really want it, you can get two plants for one medium-grade spiritual stone!"

At this time, there were four black crystal flowers and six Yangyan grass on this stall.

The price given by the stall owner was naturally lower than that of the shop, so Wei Hong nodded immediately after hearing the price and said, "Okay, I want them all, pack them up for me!"

With a flip of his palm, he took out five medium-grade spiritual stones and handed them over.

"Okay, these are the black crystal flowers and Yangyan grass for you, please take them!"

The middle-aged man was also very straightforward. He immediately packed the spiritual flowers and herbs that Wei Hong needed and handed them over.

The two of them directly completed the transaction.

After the harvest, Wei Hong continued to stroll around with greater anticipation.

But the things he saw next were either too rare for him to buy, or useless to him, or he didn't like them, so after a round of walking, he planned to go to the side hall where Zhu Ming and others were gathering.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a goatee came over. When he saw Wei Hong, he was immediately delighted and hurried forward to greet him, saying, "Haha, Fellow Daoist Wei, long time no see, how are you these days?"

Wei Hong looked over and found that he had met this man twice before, so he immediately smiled and said, "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Chen, nice to meet you, it's been a while since we last met."

This man's name is Chen Yong, and he is a deacon he slowly got to know after attending the deacon gatherings several times later.

During these three years, Wei Hong actually came to the Cangling Hall from time to time to attend gatherings.

Since that time when he took the initiative to exchange ideas with others, his reputation began to slowly spread among the deacons.

In addition, every time he came to attend the deacon gatherings in the past three years, he liked to exchange ideas with others, or to fight, and he was able to win every time, showing strong fighting power, so his reputation gradually increased a lot.

Most importantly, he inadvertently exposed his identity as an alchemist, and he was also able to refine a variety of second-level inferior elixirs. Therefore, Wei Hong not only greatly improved his reputation at this time, but also received respect from many people. After all, the identity of an alchemist is not comparable to that of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator.

In this way, he has established a firm foothold among many deacons.

In the past three years, every time he attended a gathering, there would be some deacons who wanted to buy elixirs from him or ask him to open a furnace to refine elixirs.

Just like the current deacon named Chen Yong, he must have the same idea.

Sure enough, after the greetings, Chen Yong immediately said: "Daoyou Wei, I have prepared all the materials needed to refine the pulse-protecting pill. I wonder if you can ask Daoyou Wei to help me refine a furnace of pulse-protecting pills?"

"Of course, Daoyou Wei will never let Daoyou Wei work in vain!"

Chen Yong smiled and made his request, and said that the fee he should pay would not be reduced at all.

After hearing his request, Wei Hong hesitated for a while and nodded and replied: "Of course, if Daoyou Chen trusts me, you can bring all the materials to the No. 7 Spiritual Plant Garden in half a month, and then Wei will open a furnace to refine pills for Daoyou."

Refining the pulse-protecting pill is a piece of cake for him, so he is unwilling to offend others for such a small matter, not to mention that he can also charge a hard work fee from it, why not do it?

Seeing Wei Hong agreed, Chen Yong was overjoyed and said, "Haha, OK, then I would like to thank you, Fellow Daoist Wei. I will bother you again in half a month!"

After saying hello, Chen Yong said goodbye and left.

And Wei Hong didn't care and went straight to the side hall where Zhu Ming and others were gathering.

After arriving at the side hall, he found that there were more than 30 deacons who came to attend this small gathering.

The appearance of Wei Hong immediately attracted other attention.

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Wei is here?"

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Wei, you are finally here, come on, come on, sit here!"

"Fellow Daoist Wei is here, haha, how about we fight this time?"

"Fellow Daoist Wei, I haven't seen you for a long time, you finally show up!"

Seeing Wei Hong coming, the deacons who were originally sitting stood up to greet him and greeted each other.

Obviously, Wei Hong's status and position at this time were different from before. Even the deacons in the middle stage of foundation building did not dare to neglect him, and each of them seemed extremely enthusiastic.

"Haha, nice to meet you all!"

Wei Hong naturally responded with a smile and a bow.

Zhu Ming then smiled and pulled Wei Hong over, and then said: "Friend Wei, you are a little late."

"Haha, it was also a sudden decision to come to the party today, please don't blame me, Friend Zhu!"

Wei Hong's attitude towards Zhu Ming was more sincere.

Zhu Ming waved his hand indifferently and said: "What's so strange about this, sit down quickly, we are exchanging experiences of breaking through small realms!"

"Oh? Then Wei must listen carefully!"

Wei Hong pretended to be interested and sat cross-legged immediately.

In the past three years, he has not only shown his strong combat power because of fighting with others from time to time, but also inadvertently exposed that he had broken through to the second level of foundation building half a year ago, which made people dare not underestimate him.

After all, when it is time to show strength, you can't hide it. Wei Hong naturally understands this truth, and he hides half and reveals half, and there is nothing wrong with showing his cultivation of the second level of foundation building.

As for his true cultivation of the third level of foundation building, he naturally has to hide it for a while.

Wei Hong was actually quite interested in other cultivators' experiences in breaking through small realms. Even if it didn't help him much, he could learn from each other, which was definitely beneficial.

This exchange lasted for more than two hours, and then it became a private exchange between the deacons.

Wei Hong wanted to chat with Zhu Ming, but at this time two relatively unfamiliar deacons walked towards him!
