Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 707: Chapter 291: Fire Spirit Lord, your disaster is imminent!_2

If there is a choice to negotiate peace, he would also be very happy to accept.

In this war, the Luo Tian Sect has already gained enough.

Any more, and it wouldn’t be digestible in a short period of time.

Based on the current situation, the Xuchen Mountain Wei Family chose to negotiate, and he also gave them an out, allowing them to willingly back down.

So, only the Divine Craft Clan remains.

“What will they choose?”

…

While Luo Chen was waiting for the Divine Craft Clan to make a move, he was busy digesting the gains from the multiple strikes in this war.

The benefits of things like the Ink Mulberry, Jade Silkworm, and Plunder Feathered Hawks have yet to be seen.

Not only can they not be seen, but a substantial amount of manpower and material resources needs to be poured into them in order to keep them alive.

And then there are some gains that can be directly perceived.

Like, for example, Spirit Stones!

For instance, Luo Chen would always leave a hefty sum of liquid assets in the Luo Tian Sect for emergency uses.

Most other forces do the same.

In the process of confiscating the war plunder this time, the Jinxun Second Hall brought back a large number of Spirit Stones.

“There were fifty thousand Spirit Stones from the Dan Yuan Sect, ninety percent of which were of lower grade, and there were very few Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”

“Yuzhen Temple is relatively wealthy, they have a total of seventy thousand! It is said that a part of it is a huge sum of money paid by the Ying Family to win them over to deal with the Sky Blade Peak Xing Family.”

“The Ying Family is rather poor. They only have thirty to forty thousand Spirit Stones.”

These small clans and sects are even poorer than Luo Chen had imagined.

Originally, Mi Shuhua could cobble together eighty thousand Spirit Stones all at once to buy a magic item, even with some to spare.

These sects only have a few tens of thousands.

It’s truly hard to look at.

However, practicing in the Immortal City is just like this, despite resources seemingly being plentiful, they all have to be bought with Spirit Stones.

Without some real capability, it would be challenging to save a substantial amount of wealth.

“The wealthiest of them all still have to be the Geng Family. In their treasure house, we shipped back a whopping one hundred and forty thousand! It seems in these years, the Geng Family has made a lot of profits through the ownerless Danxia Peak!”

Listening to Murong Qinglian’s report, Luo Chen shook his head.

All these things combined are just over three hundred thousand.

It’s too little!

Really too little!

Seeing Luo Chen’s dissatisfaction, Murong Qinglian realized his thoughts.

She quickly said, “Some Spirit Stones may have been taken away by people, or distributed in the storage bags of the clan disciples. The latter, most of them were privately left by the cultivators who participated in the battle.”

“Chairman, like before, shall we collect all and re-distribute them?”

There was precedent for this before.

When Luo Tian Sect was just starting out, this was how they operated.

However, this time, Luo Chen rejected this suggestion.

“Forget it, let’s let the people below also have some soup while we eat the meat.”

“Some proper rewards can inspire enough zeal in them.”

Luo Chen’s consideration for doing this was also due to the previous merit reform, which had somewhat dampened the enthusiasm of some cultivators.

This time, compensating them a little bit would be helpful as well.

Murong Qinglian naturally had no objections.

She casually brought up the issue of merit rewards and penalties next.

Regarding Qi Refinement Cultivators, Luo Chen didn’t get involved because she was more familiar with the procedure than him.

But for Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, Luo Chen readily agreed.

“All kinds of materials resources will be put into the treasure house. Wang Yuan and the other two can pick two items themselves.”

“Give Min Longyu the giant hammer magic item left by Geng Lie.”

In this war, Min Longyu played a crucial role.

Not only did he singlehandedly take care of the Geng siblings, but he also helped Duan Feng kill Miao Yu Fairy.

More importantly, because he was in charge of the Big Formation, he deterred a lot of Foundations Establishment cultivators from the outer world from making moves.

The previous bag of things from Geng Shuzhen was just a bit shy.

“Also, set aside a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and we’ll reward them after everything is settled.”

Are we rewarding a hundred thousand Spirit Stones all at once?

Murong Qinglian was startled. This was not a small amount!

“The remaining two hundred thousand, I will not take a penny; it will be left on the public account within the sect.”

Luo Chen paused for a moment then continued to say, “The development of those new industries definitely needs a lot of investment, so these two hundred thousand can be considered the start-up funds.”

Originally, there were still more than a hundred thousand on the Luo Tian Sect’s account.

With this, the liquid assets of the entire force all of sudden reached an unimaginable level.

There are only a few Foundation Establishment Forces that can boast having several hundreds of thousands of liquid assets all at once.

“Of course, exactly how to spend this money will have to wait for Hui Ning to come out of seclusion and let her decide.”

“For the time being, Sister-in-law, you’ll have to hold the fort for her.”

Murong Qinglian swallowed her saliva, being handed control of such an enormous number of Spirit Stones all at once, she was honestly a bit nervous.

However, she did not decline.

This was Luo Chen’s trust in her, but also a test.

After experiencing one failed Foundation Establishment, she had almost despaired of the Great Dao Path.

And what she needed to do now was to make money for her son Xiao Hu.

One can imagine that in the future, there will be more and more Foundation Establishment True Cultivators in Luo Tian Sect. Perhaps in the future, every branch’s hall master would be Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.

If she, a Qi Refinement Stage cultivator, wants to maintain her current status, she would have to bring greater value than before!

After Murong Qinglian left.

Luo Chen took stock of his own losses and gains.

The losses are not big, just a slight loss of spirit power and the hundred thousand from Chu Kui was all.

However, the gains were quite substantial.

Ignoring the unexpected long-term gains from the Luo Tian Sect’s side.

At present, he had a hundred thousand Spirit Stones in cash from the Xuchen Mountain Wei Family.

Thus, he manages to recoup the losses from Chu Kui.
