Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1046: Chapter 415: Holy Shit, Opened a Huge Blind Box! (Thanks to the Overlord Reward from Night of Tricks!)_3

Apart from his unwavering daily cultivation.

He had even put aside his daily reading and painting skills.

Pill refinement was only kept up with the production of Tongyou Pills.

But everything was worth it.

Luo Chen had gained a lot of good things from this.

Not to mention the items he handled for the Luo Tian Creed, just the ones he prepared for personal use alone would greatly boost his strength once fully assimilated.

In a reflective mood, Luo Chen opened the array.

It was the day the Luo Tian Creed cultivators came to deliver materials and gather resources.

This time, it was Gu Caiyi who came.

The moment they met, she didn’t say much before snuggling into Luo Chen’s arms.

”Did you miss me this much?”

”Didn’t you?”

Luo Chen was about to quibble when he found Gu Caiyi pointing at the Spring Palace Picture on the table, looking at him with a half-smiling expression.

”Ahem, this is...”

Well, Luo Chen couldn’t say that it was one of the legacies of Xuan Yu.

The fewer people knew about these things, the safer it was.

”All right, you insincere person.” Gu Caiyi boldly smacked the Spring Palace Picture back into Luo Chen’s chest, then she cleared the table, ”Xiao Ling got up early today to make you a rich Spirit Meal. I’ve contacted Taibai District and bought a bottle of Third Order Spirit Wine.”

Dishes exquisitely beautiful and vibrant were laid on the table.

As the cork was pulled, a rich fragrance of wine wafted out, uplifting and delighting the soul with just a sniff.

”Cultivation should be done in moderation, not by secluding oneself to death in a cave every day, right?”

”You are so young, and you have plenty of lifespan ahead.”

”Others at your age are still struggling with Foundation Establishment, but you are already at the Seventh Level of Foundation Establishment, a renowned Great Cultivator, a distinguished guest of the Great Sect...”

Luo Chen merrily drank his wine and ate the delicious dishes.

Listening to the incessant chatter of the beauty beside him, his heart felt at ease.

Perhaps because it had been a long time since they last met.

Today, Gu Caiyi talked exceptionally a lot.

Luo Chen didn’t argue much about her advising him that cultivation needed to be balanced with relaxation.

His time spent reading books and sorting through the storage bag was his relaxation time.

Of course, he understood such a principle.

After a while, Luo Chen devoured the meal worth hundreds of Spirit Stones completely, leaving plenty of wine to drink in his leisure time.

Belching softly, Luo Chen could not help but marvel at how Xiao Ling’s cooking skills had improved.

Even if she were to open a tavern in the Immortal City, it would likely attract many regulars.

All these cooking skills were fed into existence by the various ingredients he provided!

While watching Gu Caiyi clean the table, Luo Chen started inquiring about the current state of the Luo Tian Creed.

It had been nearly two years since then, according to Sima Huiniang’s original plans, they should have almost recovered by now!

Unexpectedly.

According to what Gu Caiyi described, the current situation of the Luo Tian Creed was even better than he had imagined!

The part she was most familiar with, the external business, had picked up again via various channels.

As for the elixir business, it had monopolized the low-ranked rogue cultivator market.

It became the third largest supplier of elixirs in Tian Lan Immortal City, following only after Medicine King Sect and Qingdan Valley.

Additionally, the Luo Tian Creed had helped the Luo Family in Luosha District to open a new business in the Immortal City, specializing in various mineral materials.

This move clearly took over the markets originally held by Iron Sword Hall and Xiahou Family.

In other areas, different progress was made as well.

Internally, over these two years, three Qi Refinement Cultivators had advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

They were Sima Wenjie, Feng Xia, and a rising talent from the Combat Hall named Lou Ying.

Currently, the Luo Tian Creed was not lacking in Foundation Establishment Pills.

Not to mention that the Foundation Establishment Pills exchanged from the Accumulation Thunder Mountain battlefield had not yet been used up.

Just from Luo Chen’s constant opening of blind boxes, they had gradually gathered more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Pills.

Additionally, the Luo Tian Creed occasionally purchased them from the black market and auctions, which overall was sufficient.

Under these circumstances.

Sima Huiniang also made sweeping personnel changes.

Chu Kui became the Hall Master of the Combat Hall, and Xing Zonghan took over Su Xiaolin’s duties, becoming the new head of the Luo Tian Intelligence Net.

Feng Xia replaced Bian Zhen, rising to become the Hall Master of the Spirit Medicine Hall.

Sima Wen Jie temporarily acted as the Hall Master of the Merit Hall.

Lou Ying was transferred from the Combat Hall to the External Sect, taking on the role of External Sect Elder.

Under the leadership of the skilled Sun Sifang, Sun Medical Hall joined the Luo Tian Creed, and Sun Sifang himself even became the third Chuan Gong Hall Elder following Wang Yuan and Min Longyu.

These were the major personnel changes.

There were countless smaller changes as well.

Even though some positions were currently honorary, Sima Huiniang still arranged them meticulously.

It was apparent that she had great ambitions, first setting up the framework and waiting for the Luo Tian Creed to return to its peak before striking with full force and taking the power to a higher level.

Luo Chen listened with great interest.

He had completely delegated the personnel authority to Sima Huiniang, who dared to act decisively.

He had no objections to this.

Although he didn’t subscribe to the idea of not doubting those he used or not using those he doubted, over the years, he had enough experience to judge someone clearly. Correspondingly, delegating authority was more conducive to the healthy operation of a power.

”She’s doing pretty well!”

Gu Caiyi squinted her eyes, ”Are you praising her, or are you praising me?”

”Both are good, both are good!”

Luo Chen chuckled and lightly evaded further discussion of the matter.

He then changed the subject and asked about another matter.

”How is the collection of materials for the sister-in-law’s limb re-attachment going?”

Upon mentioning this topic,

Gu Caiyi’s expression darkened.

She sighed and said, ”Most of it has been collected, but we are still missing the two most crucial main materials.”

”Which two?”

”Joint Seven-Orifice Lotus, Trace Mud.”

Upon hearing these two names, Luo Chen frowned slightly.

He had found information on these two materials in ancient texts. One was the Third Order, and the other was the Fourth Stage, both extremely rare and precious items.

Suddenly, an idea struck him.

”I remember that the Nangong Family once gave a piece of Joint Seven-Orifice Lotus to Big Brother Qin as a gesture of apology. Haven’t you asked Nangong Jin about it?”

Faced with this question, Gu Caiyi shook her head.

She relayed a piece of news that caught Luo Chen off guard.

Nangong Jin had died.

He had perished on the Accumulation Thunder Mountain battlefield, his body completely obliterated.

As a result, the Nangong Family, which had relocated to Tian Lan Immortal City, had left Tian Lan a few years earlier.

”He died?”

”No wonder I didn’t see him during the Luo Tian battle, though I saw both the Great Elder Lianyun and Li Yixian. Given our relationship and his character, he would’ve been keen to add glory to an already celebrated affair. Unexpectedly, not seeing him meant he had already died.”

For a moment, Luo Chen felt somewhat reflective.

The battle at Accumulation Thunder Mountain was truly a meat grinder.

Too many cultivators had died there.

The Luo Tian Creed’s ability to flaunt power in Tian Lan Immortal City was, in reality, because too many had died on the battlefield, resulting in the city’s vulnerability.

”By the way!”

Gu Caiyi raised her head and offhandedly said, ”That Golden Core Ascendant Master from Ailao Mountain acted quite ambiguously, not only helping us rebuild Danxia but also repairing the ruins of the Tool Casting Hall and the Pill Hall caused by triggering the Earth Fire. Now, the Pill Room and Tool Casting Workshop are even better than before.”

”Is he this charitable?” Luo Chen frowned, ”Did he ask for more rewards?”

”No!”

Gu Caiyi shook her head, biting her teeth, ”Sima Huiniang also mentioned that he was overly enthusiastic. But since he is a Golden Core Cultivator, it wasn’t prudent to speculate too much, so she suggested I speak to you about this, to see what you think.”

Luo Chen fell silent.

His eyes slightly narrowed as he recalled the details of his two encounters with Elder Fei Ming.

After a long time, he nodded thoughtfully.

”I think I know what he’s thinking.”

”You guys don’t need to worry about this issue. Just make sure to maintain good relations with the Ailao Mountain Cultivators daily.”

”As for him... I will meet with him myself.”
