Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1252: Chapter 479: Securing the Third Order Immortal Mansion, I Need Your Attitude!_3

Luo Chen felt nostalgic in his heart.

But on the surface, he still paid close attention to the expressions of the others.

Seeing that they seemed to have made up their minds, Luo Chen asked with a smile, ”So, what do you think of my arrangement?”

Fu Jiusheng replied without hesitation, ”Fu Someone naturally follows the Supreme Elder’s arrangement.”

Friend Luo when at ease, Supreme Elder when in need. Isn’t it really all about self-interest!

The corner of Luo Chen’s mouth twitched as he looked towards the other three people.

Cen Qiusheng sighed, ”At my age, I have no hope for further advancement. It’s already excellent that you count me in for a share of that Immortal Mansion. Now with the Starry Pill, it’s even more like icing on the cake. I have no objections.”

”And what about the two Friends?” Luo Chen looked at Di Wuqi and Jiang Yu. These two had always been in agreement, but it was rare for them to have a dispute today over a cultivation spot.

Di Wuqi and Jiang Yu exchanged glances, then the former tentatively asked:

”This Starry Pill, could Friend supply it more steadily in the future?”

Seeing Luo Chen frown, he quickly added, ”Of course, we would buy it with Spirit Stones! Say... five thousand! Five thousand Spirit Stones, what does Friend think? If that’s not acceptable, we can still negotiate further.”

Attitude!

Di Wuqi’s attitude had never been this good before.

Even the price offered was quite reasonable.

In the market, Third Order Cultivation Pills generally sell for seven to eight times the price of Second Order Pills.

Due to the rarity and high demand, prices soar whenever they appear in the black market or at auctions.

Ten times the price is considered very fair!

For a Golden Core Cultivator’s consumption, one bottle per month, or one every two months, would amount to only thirty to sixty thousand Spirit Stones a year.

Given the speed at which Golden Core Cultivators accumulate wealth, this price is still affordable.

Except for Golden Core Rogue Cultivators like Fu Jiusheng, who always acted alone.

But now that he had joined the Luo Tian Sect, that was a different story.

Luo Chen fell into contemplation.

He had originally intended to sell batches of Starry Pills from time to time, not to earn a vast number of Spirit Stones, but merely to break even and consolidate his reputation as a Pill Refinement Grandmaster.

Now it seemed,

perhaps satisfying the internal needs was more appropriate?

The Luo Tian Alliance was formed because of the Third Order Spirit Vein; the interests aligned, but human hearts are unpredictable.

From the struggle over the shops, it was evident that people like Di Wuqi were not yet fully committed to him.

If he used the Starry Pills to strengthen connections, it would undoubtedly make the alliance tighter.

Compared to a superficial external reputation, growing his own power in the short term was the superior solution!

Soon, Luo Chen had made his decision.

”Selling you the Starry Pills is not impossible, but a stable supply will be quite difficult to manage.”

”Pill Refinement, well, there are always times when it doesn’t go as planned, and I can’t guarantee a success every time.”

”Moreover, the materials needed for the Starry Pills are too complex, and relying on my Luo Tian Sect disciples to gather them isn’t enough. If you want them, you’ll need to help out by sending people to collect materials.”

”If you can accept these two conditions, Luo Someone can supply you with Starry Pills in the future.”

Having said that, he calmly gazed at the few people in front of him.

As he expected,

even with an unstable supply and the additional task of collecting materials, Di Wuqi and the others had no complaints.

They hurriedly agreed to these terms on the spot.

Seeing them ready to pay with Spirit Stones...

”This first bottle is a gift from me to you, no need to be so formal.”

Luo Chen waved his hand, unconcerned about giving away a Starry Pill worth twenty thousand Spirit Stones, and stood up tall.

”Now, take me to see that generous gift from the Luo Yun Sect!”

...

The Moon-Breaking Immortal City is a colossal city forged after the model of a Super Immortal City.

Although the overall Spirit Vein rank has not yet reached the Fourth Order required by a Super Immortal City,

the number of Third Order Cave Residences is already far more than an ordinary Immortal City like Tianlan which only has two or three such residences.

Given time,

perhaps a man-made Fourth Order Cave Residence could be cultivated within Moon-Breaking Immortal City under the nurture of Luo Yun Sect.

On one of the three solitary peaks within the city.

Luo Chen looked around and could vaguely see cultivators entering and exiting a cave mansion not far away.

Clearly, it was a Golden Core Great Sect in the midst of moving.

”True Master Han Zhan had desperately sought a Fourth Order Spirit Land in the Yu Ding Realm to no avail, but just two years after the Open War began, he now possessed an Immortal City that was taking on the form of a Fourth Order one.”

”If that’s the case, why bother at all?”

Luo Chen mused such thoughts, but he was also acutely aware.

If it weren’t for the Yu Ding civil unrest that caught the attention of the Divine Transformation Holy Land and even marshaled twenty-seven sects to wage the Open War together, Luo Yun Sect couldn’t have possibly amassed such human and material resources to construct this Super Immortal City in such a short span of time.

It seemed that the squeaky wheel does get the grease!

Luo Chen shook his head and turned to look at Fu Jiusheng, who was approaching.

”All is handed over now. This is the Immortal Mansion key, with which you may freely enter and exit the mansion. Besides, there are four auxiliary keys, allowing free access for those you are close with.”

Luo Chen accepted the four token-like keys with satisfaction.

They bore the Sect emblem of Luo Yun and also the tricolor brocade sail of Tian Fan City in the corner.

Clearly, this signified that the place belonged to Luo Yun Sect, while also highlighting Tian Fan City’s contribution to its construction.

As for why there were only four auxiliary keys?

It hinted that aside from the owner of the cave mansion, at most four Lower Order Cultivators could be accommodated.

Presumably, this was to prevent these cultivators from uncontrolled absorption of the city’s Spirit Qi, which could damage the underground Spirit Vein.

”Hmm, thank you.”

Luo Chen expressed his thanks and was about to step away.

But upon seeing Fu Jiusheng’s hesitance, he stopped in his tracks.

”Is there anything else?”

Fu Jiusheng swallowed hard, ”Supreme, that Starry Pill...”

”Five bottles!”

Luo Chen spread out his fingers to show the number.

”I will provide you with five bottles for free each year, as an extra benefit beyond your Guest Elder’s salary.”

Fu Jiusheng’s eyes lit up, and he immediately gave a fist and palm salute.

”Thank you, Supreme Elder!”

Luo Chen patted his shoulder, ”No need for such formality. After all, you and I are fellow cultivators, and now we’re cultivating in the same sect. If I have a bite to eat, I naturally won’t neglect you.”

Fu Jiusheng’s face showed a touched expression, whether it was genuine or not.

Luo Chen didn’t care, talking as he walked, ”You’ll also have to take care of my sect disciples when I’m in Closed-Door Cultivation or away from the sect.”

”Of course!”

”If possible...” Luo Chen paused at this point.

Under the curious gaze of the other, Luo Chen gave a slight smile, ”With your talents, Elder Fu, be it in gathering herbs or in the Path of Array, it would be a waste to let them lie fallow. Don’t you wish to seek out one or two quality talents and pass down your legacy?”

Fu Jiusheng was stunned.

He stood there, his expression changing uncertainly.

Luo Chen chuckled softly and didn’t say more, instead entering the Number Eight Immortal Mansion on his own.

His words just now had a deeper meaning.

Although Fu Jiusheng was now with Luo Tian Sect, he was only a Guest Elder at the end of the day.

He was akin to a mercenary, taking money to solve problems for someone else.

He and Luo Tian Sect weren’t truly on the same path!

But if he were willing to leave a legacy in Luo Tian Sect, their relationship would bind more closely.

This would also show whether he was willing to integrate more actively into Luo Tian Sect, which was an attitude Luo Chen greatly needed!

So, what choice would he make?
