Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1108: Chapter 437: Old Friends Reunite, Killer Instinct Surges, Bai Ye’s Opportunity, Core Formation Spirit Pill (Seeking Monthly Votes) Chapter 1108: Chapter 437: Old Friends Reunite, Killer Instinct Surges, Bai Ye’s Opportunity, Core Formation Spirit Pill (Seeking Monthly Votes) Lianyun Tower!

A tall building on the Central Avenue of Tian Lan Immortal City.

Being the street with the best business and also the largest flow of people, those who could open shops on both sides of this place are either the properties of the Foreign Realm Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect, or the commercial shops of the Great Sects within the Yu Ding Realm.

For the Lianyun Business Union to own a shop of their own here, it’s evident how formidable their power was at their peak.

Three Late Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators, along with more than a dozen Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, their business reaching over a dozen large and small markets, resources coming from the north and south converge at the Lianyun Business Union, only then could they sustain such a shop.

Of course!

Just relying on these actually isn’t quite enough.

In secret, there must undoubtedly be support from the Luo Yun Sect.

So, when the Sword Sect suspected the Lianyun Business Union of underhanded dealings with the Luo Yun Sect in the past, it wasn’t without reason.

Standing outside the Lianyun Tower, Luo Chen observed secretly for a long while.

Such a prominent shop, the profits it generates every year must be calculated by hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones!

The Lianyun Business Union alone, I’m afraid, cannot swallow such revenues.

In comparison, the Luo Tian Creed, although its presence far exceeds the peak of the Lianyun Business Union, can only have its main shop, Danxia Hall, located in a corner of the Immortal City, with not much annual income.

If the Luo Tian Creed could have such a shop on Central Avenue, that would be great.

While reflecting, Luo Chen’s observations gradually yielded results.

“Affected by the decline of the Lianyun Business Union, the goods in Lianyun Tower are getting less and less. Even if it is a prime storefront, the number of customers coming and going is far less than other Great Sect shops.”

“Tsk tsk, what a waste!”

After his reflections, Luo Chen revealed himself and strode towards Lianyun Tower.

…

“Perk up!”

“Today the Great Elder is making an inspection of the business inside the tower, none of you may be lax!”

The deputy tower master was a Female Cultivator who had just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, having had the good fortune to form her foundation after consuming a Foundation Establishment Pill aided by the convenience of the Accumulation Thunder Mountain battlefield.

Her realm had just stabilized not long ago when she was appointed by the Great Elder Lianyun to manage the business of the Lianyun Tower.

For this reason, she was quite strict in managing her subordinates.

But these Qi Refinement Stage old hands, most of whom had worked at Lianyun Tower for many years, didn’t really take this newcomer seriously.

Who knows how long you can stay?

So many deputy tower masters have come and gone in Lianyun Tower, yet only the tower itself stands unyielding.

The deputy tower master?

Heh!

Those Qi Refinement Stage old hands, at this moment, behaved as silent as cicadas in winter.

But in their hearts, they held nothing but contempt.

Who doesn’t understand their own situation?

Now the business union has declined to an extreme, from the business of over a dozen big and small markets at its peak, shrinking to a mere three large markets.

This has resulted in fewer and fewer goods in Lianyun Tower.

The guests they serve daily now, all added up, don’t even exceed a hundred people.

No matter how hard they try, it’s nothing more than sweeping the floors and replacing the fresh fruits.

The deputy tower master better off directing her energy to opening new market business and creating more trade routes.

When there are more guests, they will work harder than anyone!

While everyone was half-heartedly dusting the counters and vases, plainly slacking off.

Hurried footsteps suddenly came from the staircase entrance.

Then, they saw an old man with white hair hurrying down from the upstairs, heading straight for the outside of the tower.

Everyone was startled.

“Why has the Great Elder come down?”

“Is he going out to welcome a guest?”

“What kind of guest would make him personally greet them? Could it be a Golden Core Ascendant Master from some Sect has come to our Lianyun Tower?”

Amidst curiosity, many eyes followed the figure of He Lianyun.

Soon!

They heard the hearty laughter outside the tower.

“How could I trouble the Great Elder to personally come out to meet me, it’s too much for Luo Someone.”

“For Friend to spare the time to meet amidst your busy schedule is already my good fortune, the least I can do is come out to greet you. Friend, this way, please!”

Amidst the conversation, two figures walked from outside into the somewhat desolate Lianyun Tower.

The first thing everyone did was to direct their gaze at the cultivator dressed in white with bright and spirited eyes.

If judged only by appearance, he was certainly good looking.

But the bundle of grey-white hair tied behind him, along with a slight jaundice on his face, brought a touch of sickness to his countenance.

The two chuckled and chatted as they went up to the third floor.

In the process, The Great Elder Lianyun personally gave the order not to send up pastries and tea, and forbade anyone from disturbing them.

When the figures had completely disappeared from view.

The various clerks in the tower finally exhaled in relief and began to discuss animatedly.

“That one?”

“I don’t think I’m mistaken, it’s the Fire Spirit Lord!”

“He referred to himself as Luo Someone, isn’t the Fire Spirit Lord’s real name Luo Chen? Why would he come to our Lianyun Tower?”

“Indeed! Now the Luo Tian Creed is thriving, and beyond various businesses, they have also started operating caravan groups, reaching out to the big and small markets around Tian Lan Immortal City. I’m afraid in a few decades, the caravan business will even surpass our Lianyun Business Union!”

Their conversations gradually faded away.

Because that Female Cultivator, who had just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage and was the deputy tower master, was scanning all the clerks with her sharp eyes.

Once everyone had fallen silent and got back to their tasks, she let out an unnoticed sigh.

The Lianyun Business Union was first targeted by the Sword Sect and then suffered heavy losses on the battlefield of Accumulation Thunder Mountain.

Now, including herself as a newly advanced Foundation Establishment cultivator, there are barely five Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

In such circumstances, instead of revitalizing, the Great Elder is investing his attention on other matters.

Who knows whether this business alliance can keep operating in the future.

And where should she go from here?

…

As they ascended the floors, Luo Chen chatted and laughed with the Great Elder Lianyun, all the while paying attention to the latter’s expressions.
