Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 73: Chapter 73: A Dignified Tool Person?_1

”I heard you’re a Pill Refiner?”

Heard?

Where did he hear that?

Luo Chen is far from being famous.

Even if the Allure Pill business is doing well, those who buy such elixirs would not go out of their way to promote him.

How has he caught the attention of this Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator?

It must be because of Wang Yuan!

Understanding dawned on Luo Chen, fear surfaced on his face.

”I only refine common-quality pills, just playing around and fooling with pills. I wouldn’t consider myself a pill refiner.”

At some point, a round pill, red like ice, appeared in Elder Mi’s hand.

”This is not a common pill you’ve fooled around with. It’s a First Order Medium Grade Pill!”

His voice was laced with undisguised admiration.

”What! A Medium Grade Pill!”

Qin Liangchen, right beside him, was stunned, as if a mouse had been stepped on by a cat.

He had always thought that Luo Chen only refined common Fasting Pills and even if it was the Allure Pill, it was nothing more than a vile elixir.

But now, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was telling him.

His little brother had actually refined a Medium Grade Pill!

What did that mean?

Even though he had consumed Ascendant Grade Pills before, buying and consuming was one thing, refining was another!

It represented countless failures and exceptional alchemy talent.

Especially since Luo Chen was just a Mid-Stage Qi Refining Rogue Cultivator without any family support or Sect assistance, he couldn’t afford too many failures.

It was obvious then.

The other side possessed an alchemy talent that could be described as terrifying or even monstrous!

”My little brother, you’ve kept this a deep secret!” Qin Liangchen looked at Luo Chen deeply, his gaze carried a hint of complaint.

Little did he know, Luo Chen was already sweating coldly.

Had he finally caught people’s attention?

Then what was waiting for him next?

Facing the young man who was taller than him even when hunching over, Elder Mi seemed to think of something.

He patted Luo Chen’s shoulder.

”Look up!”

”Even if your cultivation level is low, you should never lack self-respect!”

Luo Chen raised his head as told, and saw the elder’s kind smile.

His heart skipped a beat.

But on the surface, he showed a determined expression.

”Xiao Luo has learned his lesson!”

Elder Mi smiled satisfactorily. Then he said, ”The Broken Mountain Gang now has the Seven Tigers Hall and also Wang Yuan’s Jiao Hall. Everything is on track and thriving. So what about establishing a Pill Hall?”

Qin Liangchen hesitated and unconsciously looked at Luo Chen.

”Luo Chen, you can be the hall master of this Pill Hall,” Elder Mi said with a bright smile.

Stunned, Luo Chen quickly shook his head, ”Xiao Luo’s cultivation level and pill refining skills are shallow, I’m afraid I cannot bear the responsibility of a hall master.”

”Young man, have confidence!”

Turning around, Elder Mi walked forward with his back straight and hands behind his back.

”I have high hopes for you!”

”After the establishment of the Pill Hall, the other eight halls will also look after you as much as possible.”

”I have some books about the Dao of Alchemy and a couple of Pill formulas that I’ll let you take a look.”

”In addition, the Broken Mountain Gang will buy a shop in the Inner City where the elixirs produced by the Pill Hall will have a place.”

”Xiao Luo, don’t disappoint everyone!”

...

”Hall Master Luo, you should look after us more in the future!”

”Sister-in-law, you’re joking, I’m not fit to be called that!”

”Hehe, you two chat, I’ll go rest first.”

Murong Qinglian put down a pot of wine and departed gracefully.

Leaving two men sitting in the living room, one in deep thought and the other grimacing.

After a pause, Qin Liangchen snapped back to reality.

He pulled out a talisman in front of Luo Chen.

”This is a Sound Isolation Talisman. It can prevent Qi Refinement Cultivators from eavesdropping. Although it cannot stop Foundation Establishment Cultivators from spying, it will burn upon their contact.”

Looking at the talisman, Luo Chen knew Qin Liangchen had something private to share with him.

Mentioning private sharing might seem a bit laughable.

After all, Qin Liangchen didn’t share the bonds of mutual aid with him like Elder Chen did, nor did he owe him favors like Wang Yuan.

But the situation didn’t feel out of place.

Simply because they had a sense of affinity for each other.

Especially after their recent battle together, they found each other’s temperaments very appealing.

So when Qin Liangchen took this pose, Luo Chen turned serious.

”Big Brother Qin, whatever you want to say, just say it!”

Qin Liangchen mhmmed, ”I ask you, if the Pill Hall starts up, do you truly have the ability to support it?”

Luo Chen thought about it seriously, then slowly nodded his head.

Qin Liangchen’s face flashed with surprise, he didn’t expect the other party to have such confidence!

”Then the question arises, what are your needs?”

”First of all, it cannot affect my cultivation!” Luo Chen said seriously, and added: ”Not only that, Broken Mountain Gang must fully support my cultivation!”

Qin Liangchen furrowed his brows, then said affirmatively: ”This requirement is not excessive, the higher the cultivation level, the better the elixirs that are refined. Mi Shuhua can’t refuse, he also has the ability to support a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator like you.”

”Then, I must have a share of the profits from the elixirs!”

”This point, I’m afraid, is a bit difficult, your realm is too low, you don’t have much say.”

”I can’t be a pure tool person!”

”Tool person?”

”Meaning manual labor.”

Qin Liangchen furrowed his brows even more, thinking deeply, then slowly said: ”This point needs to be fought for, your sister-in-law and I will definitely support you, Wang Yuan should also support you. But Mi Shuhua, and other hall masters, might be unwilling.”

”Then if I don’t cooperate, they don’t think about earning these spirit stones.” Luo Chen said fiercely.

Qin Liangchen laughed, ”You’re just at the fifth level of Qi Refinement Stage, what happens if you don’t cooperate and get killed?”

”I’d rather die than surrender!” Luo Chen stated firmly.

”Really?”

Luo Chen’s face drooped at once, ”Of course it’s not true! Who wants to die if they can live!”

Qin Liangchen poured him a glass of wine, and he also picked up his own glass and started to drink.

Luo Chen also downed his spirits with a troubled expression.

He had always avoided being a tool, but he hadn’t anticipated that he would end up facing this.

It was just that rogue pill refiners were too much of a spectacle.

Before he had Wang Yuan covering for him, but now those who wanted to use him were even more powerful than Wang Yuan, they were even Wang Yuan’s direct superiors.

Suddenly, Qin Liangchen put down his wine glass.

”You go find Elder Yuan!”

”Who?”

”The old man who sold you pineapple wine, the one with the broken leg!”

Luo Chen’s eyes glowed, ”You mean, Yue Jianhu’s father, Yuan Xiaoyue’s grandfather?”

”Hmm, although his leg is broken and his son is dead, he still has a say in Broken Mountain Gang. Long Panhu used to be his disciple, and the new Mining Hall Master were Yue Jianhu’s subordinates. In addition, I will also contact Ke Yuelin, my sworn brother.”

When it came to Ke Yuelin, Qin Liangchen paused.

Then he said affirmatively: ”In this way, half of the eight halls plus me and an elder will support you.”

”Of course, these are just verbal promises, nobody would want to give up potential benefits. So, you still need to make some promises.”

”For example?”

”After reaching a higher realm, refine some elixirs that can enhance cultivation for everyone. Or, train some people in pill refinement for them.”

Saying so, he looked at Luo Chen, ”You can teach, right?”

Luo Chen grinned, ”Of course, if I can’t teach them, then that’s because they don’t have a natural talent for the Dao of Alchemy.”

”You little rascal, you’re not as simple as you seem.”

Qin Liangchen laughed and cursed, and then curiously asked: ”So what’s your final demand?”

Luo Chen drew a deep breath and spoke bluntly.

”Longevity!”

”Any method of longevity, or longevity pills, heavenly materials and earthly treasures!”

Qin Liangchen was aghast, looking at Luo Chen in confusion, ”You’re only twenty-seven!”

”After the New Year, I’ll be twenty-eight.”

”But no one is going to give up anything related to lifespan.” Qin Liangchen sighed.

If someone really had such good things, who would give them to others.

Once Mi Shuhua gets ahold of those, he would be the first one to try them.

”I have Five Spirit Roots talent, and I was deficient from birth, a wise man once said that I wouldn’t live past eighty. So, I must have longevity items.”

”But...”

”Big Brother Qin, actually the last requirement can be put forward.”

”Hmm?”

Qin Liangchen paused as if realizing something.

After pondering for a while, he finally laughed.

”Alright, we’ll do as you say.”

Once the negotiation direction was decided, both of them had a clearer idea.

They enjoyed their small dishes and small drinks and Qin Liangchen started talking about the slightly more secretive things about the Broken Mountain Gang.

By the end, his tone was filled with melancholy.

”Xiao Luo, do you know what I was thinking when Old Mi was talking to you tonight?”

Which words?

Hold your head high, your realm is low but you have to be proud!

Men need to have some self-confidence!

I have high hopes for you!

Don’t let everyone down!

”I was thinking”

”This moment feels just like the past!”
