After all, he singlehandedly established and facilitated the growth of the Luo

Tian Creed.

And good friends of his occupy every key position.

As time went on, Luo Chen gradually discovered a benefit of appointing Sima

Huiniang as the president.

Specifically, it allowed him to offend people!

All along, Luo Chen had always been kind to the cultivators in the creed.

He rarely punished or yelled at anyone.

This is related to the composition of the members of the Luo Tian Creed.

After all, many of the members were either his old subordinates or his friends.

It wasn’t ideal for him to chastise his friends over trivial matters.

However, over time, these petty things could seriously affect the healthy development of an organization.

Luo Chen knew this, but felt helpless to change it.

It is similar to how a founding emperor gains power, killing meritorious ministers would inevitably receive criticism.

Now with Sima Huiniang as president, things were different.

As an outsider with unstable roots, she often took a stricter approach in handling matters.

She hasn’t been excessively harsh, but she has managed to change the laissez- faire attitude of many people.

Take his old friend Zeng Wen, for example.

Just because he had been neglecting matters of the Golden Hall several times,

Sima Huiniang chastised him and even docked his salary.

Zeng Wen used Tang Quan as a go-between to find a time when Luo Chen was free and came specifically to complain.

Luo Chen, of course, joined him in condemning Sima Huiniang.

But he also expressed he had delegated his authority, and often had to respect her decisions.

In the end, to help mollify Zeng Wen’s dissatisfaction,

he gave him a couple extra bottles of elixir without changing Sima Huiniang’s decision, in the spirit of friendship.

After sending off Zeng Wen once again, a smile appeared on Luo Chen’s face.

“That is management!”

“In any organization, there should always be someone playing good cop, and someone playing bad cop.”

“If I, as the leader of this power, were to always be the bad cop, I’d inevitably offend people, leading to the Luo Tian Creed falling apart.” “Now that Sima Huiniang has taken on this role, she is doing quite well!

After reflecting on this, Luo Chen went into the Pill Room.

It was time to refine the Tongyou Pill.

A few days ago, due to the handover of various affairs with Sima Huiniang and occasionally having to lend her support,

his pill refinement processes had been sporadic.

There were a few times when he tried his hands on it, but most attempts ended in failure.

Today, he could finally calm down and focus on pill refinement.

He fueled the fire, heated the cauldron.

He put in the medicinal herbs, assisted by various Pill Techniques.

About two hours later, Luo Chen looked at the three steaming pills with great satisfaction.

He had succeeded in refining three Tongyou Pills. They would support at least one month of cultivation.

Not only did they increase his Divine Soul Endowment, every time he took a

Tongyou Pill, he could also augment his Divine Intimidation Technique.

This not only aided in the digestion of the pill, but also helped increase proficiency in the technique.

In the past, he would often wish for more time to do similar things.

Today, however, everything felt under control.

“Not only is the Luo Tian Creed now on track, my cultivation regimen is also well-structured.”

His abundant free time allowed Luo Chen to experience a sense of liberation he hadn’t experienced since he began cultivating.

There was no one suppressing or monitoring him from above and the people below were like his right hand.

He could do whatever he wanted, refine whichever pill he wanted to. His in-depth research of the Fireball Technique had reached a critical stage.

He was not satisfied with the principles expressed in the Fu Family1 s inscriptions, so he began to incorporate his own understanding.

He had employed several methods while refining the Jade Marrow Pill. Now, when integrated with the Fireball Technique, they produced unexpected results.

“The Fireball Technique, at its core, is all about control over concentration and dispersion.”

“Concentrating Spirit Power to form a fireball represents concentration.

Blasting it toward an enemy represents dispersion.

“If I can anticipate and control the intervals of concentration and dispersion like when refining the Jade Marrow Pill, wouldn’t I be able to…” Mentally shifting his focus, Luo Chen waved his hand to unleash ten small fireballs.

Rather than immediately bursting, however, the fireballs started to revolve around him, controlled by Luo Chen’s superior attraction technique.

“Merge!”

The ten Fireballs instantaneously merged into a considerably larger fireball.

If it grew any larger, it would start to form the base of the Fierce Sun Technique.

However, Luo Chen subtly adjusted his force of will and the large fireball abruptly morphed into a thin but sturdy, large, circular shield.

The Fire Shield Technique!

Liu Qiang, who was practicing his skills with Luo Chen from afar, was taken aback.

The magic tool he had sent out was obstructed layer by layer by the circular shield.

Although it still managed to proceed amidst hardship, the high temperature of the shield was gradually melting the Spirit Power Imprint he had left on the tool.

Suddenly, Luo Chen reached out his hand to grab something.

Before the stunned eyes of Liu Qiang, Liu Qiang’s flying blade magic tool had fallen into Luo Chen’s hand.

He involuntarily swallowed and asked in disbelief, “President, did you just melt the Spirit Power Imprint I left on the tool?”

Luo Chen gave a slight smile and casually tossed the flying blade back to him.

He then passed him an extra bottle of elixir.

“My apologies—you’ll need to spend some time refining it again.” Liu Qiang immediately shook his head. Qi Refinement Cultivators found refining magic tools to be straightforward.

All they needed to do was leave enough Spirit Power Imprints on the tool. It wouldn’t take him much time.

But what shocked him was that Luo Chen had such ability.

Ignoring his disbelief, Luo Chen walked away with his hands behind his back. “The Fire Shield Technique derived from the Fireball Technique is not particularly known for its defensive power.”

“Its advantage lies in the high-temperature burning process, it melts the Spirit Power Imprints left by enemies on their magic tools.”

“Aided by my Perfect Attraction Technique, it can achieve the effect of disarming an enemy barehanded.”

In terms of combat, honestly, the effect is mediocre.
