Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 146: Chapter 105: Old Coachman, How Dare You Bully Me Like This_3

Besides, ordinary rogue cultivators don’t actually have that purchasing power.

Not wanting to dwell on these trivialities, Luo Chen once again outlined his cultivation plan.

The brutal reality of the Foundation Establishment Pill yesterday didn’t knock him down.

It was but a moment of temporary dejection!

In just one night, Luo Chen picked himself up.

The pressing task at hand was to finalize his Qi Refinement. As for the matter of the Foundation Establishment Pill, he could plot it out carefully later!

Overthinking now is simply worrying too much.

Instead of thinking about these things, it is better to think about how much support Pill Hall, The Broken Mountain Gang, and Mi Shuhua can provide.

”Qi Nurturing Pill is of no use to me. I need to find an excuse to get The Broken Mountain Gang to change it to Dusting Pills.”

”The reason is actually easy to find; it mainly depends on how much value I can bring to Mi Shuhua.”

”From the fact that Mi Shuhua didn’t even bat an eyelid when buying me the Four Symbols Tripod, it can be seen that I have great usefulness to him.”

It’s not just the Four Symbols Tripod. From his usual treatment to his occasional conciliatory words.

Luo Chen was very clear that Mi Shuhua valued him greatly.

Even more so than Qin Liangchen, Han Dang, and Wang Yuan at the beginning.

At the end of the day, it is about Spirit Stones!

”Yesterday, Mi Shuhua bought that magic item, practically exhausting all his assets. Otherwise, he would not have sold so many things.”

”The Broken Mountain Gang’s earnings are massive but those profits mostly are not immediately visible. Moreover, to make so many rogue cultivators willingly follow the gang, naturally, a lot of the gain has to be shared.”

”In comparison, the Jade Marrow Pill is a new source of wealth.”

”As of now, the Jade Marrow Pill’s distribution channel is almost developed. Either through The Great River District shops, or partnership with the Great Lake Gang, or the local Immortal Cultivation Clans.”

”With the channels in place, Mi Shuhua has obtained a magic item, substantially enhancing his power. Behind the scenes, there may even be support from the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion.”

”So, everything is set. All that is needed is the final piece of the puzzle!”

Luo Chen was very clear about what the missing piece was.

Production!

”If you want me to increase my production, it can’t be done just with an Ascendant Grade Pill Tripod!”

Luo Chen gave a cold laugh.

Initially, he felt guilty, thinking he had taken too much from the old man.

But after seeing him spend generously yesterday, Luo Chen realized he had been too kind.

Upon leaving the city, he saw the two bodyguards waiting at the city gate.

However, they didn’t notice him at first. Instead, they were looking up at the city wall.

”What’s going on?”

Luo Chen put on a warm smile and moved closer.

Following Zhou Yuanli’s pointing finger, he looked up to see dozens of severed heads densely lined up.

Only because Luo Chen had experienced two battles before was he not terrified.

Even so, he felt a chill in his heart.

”Who are these people?”

Zhou Yuanli sighed, ”Mostly rogue cultivators.”

”What did they do?”

”What else could they have done?” Liu Qiang sneered: ”These people have gone crazy. Last night they went on a killing spree in the Inner City; they really thought the Sword Pavilion Enforcement Team was just for show!”

Upon closer inspection, the faces of those heads that were hung, almost all of them showed an expression of terror.

Their necks cleanly cut.

Any ordinary Flying Sword Magic Tool, although renowned for its sharpness, when fighting accompanied by the surge of Spirit Power, its destructive force is more of an area impact.

Only the sword cultivators from Yu Ding Sword Sect, even without a Sword Pill, an ordinary flying sword in their hands could reveal a hint of a sword cultivator’s prowess.

When they strike, the sword light is concentrated, and the Spirit Power is like silk.

If it doesn’t hit, then it doesn’t. But if it does, it can cut metal and jade, cutting limbs away cleanly.

”It’s a pity that the Enforcement Team only takes care of the Inner City’s safety now. As long as the Outer City doesn’t get into big trouble, they don’t care.” Zhou Yuanli said.

Liu Qiang sneered: ”Indeed, last night alone there were hundreds of conflicts in the Outer City, and this is not considered a big mess, right!”

Luo Chen was shocked.

Did such a huge chaos erupt in the Outer City last night?

Suddenly, it also seemed unsurprising to him.

At the auction, there were so many coveted goods.

Some people who failed in the bidding wouldn’t take it lightly.

Those staying in the Inner City could be targeted, not to mention some rogue cultivators who took the opportunity to leave the city at night?

Following a chain reaction, it is not unexpected for the Outer City to create a large chaos.

”I just hope these kinds of things won’t reach me!”

Luo Chen shook his head and, together with the two bodyguards, flew towards Crescent Valley.

It’s safer during daytime.

Those calamity cultivators, more or less, still have to consider the face of the Sword Pavilion Enforcement Team.

It’s fine to cause a ruckus at night, but it’s crucial to behave during the day.

...

Thud!

A muffled sound could be heard, echoing throughout the room.

Dozens of people were curiously looking at the Pill Room, whispering among themselves.

Their Pill Hall, surprisingly, had a new Ascendant Grade Pill Tripod!

After arranging the Four Symbols Tripod, Luo Chen had someone move the Xuanyun Tripod from the Large Pill Room to another smaller Pill Room.

Although it was a bit crowded, it was barely sufficient.

When he came out, he found the outside world silent.

Mi Shuhua had arrived!

”Good morning, Gang Leader!”

Luo Chen greeted him with a huge, friendly grin, showing no signs of the furious man who had cursed Mi Shuhua as ”old man” the previous night.

Mi Shuhua also smiled and nodded, ”I have nothing to do today, just passing by. Thought I would check if the Four Symbols Tripod suits you.”

Just passing by?

Luo Chen’s mouth twitched slightly, but he didn’t say anything more.

With a wave of his hand, his subordinates started to bustle around.

In a little while, everything was prepared.

Luo Chen devoted himself to the Large Pill Room, intending to familiarize himself with the Four Symbols Tripod today.

He started the fire, opened the tripod, and successively added four sets of raw materials.

Under his careful manipulation, four pieces of Wan Jade were turned and flipped about, causing jade marrow to fall into the tripod.

”The fire isn’t hot enough?”

Luo Chen closed the cover of the tripod and added twice the amount of wood to the fire pit.

Furthermore, he shot a fireball spell which, under the Play Flame Technique, divided into fine streams and continued to burn the Pill Tripod.

Throughout this process, Luo Chen became more and more familiar with the magical uses of the Four Symbols Tripod for pill refinement.

Some time later, he came out looking a little tired.

”Good luck today. There are forty pills in total, fifteen are medium grade and twenty-five are lower grade.”

Mi Shuhua took the jade-like pills from Luo Chen’s hand.

After examining them carefully, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

”Very good. You’ve achieved preliminary results as soon as you started. Once you’re familiar with it, there will surely be a drastic increase in the production of Jade Marrow Pills.”

”All thanks to your guidance, Gang Leader!” Luo Chen modestly replied.

Mi Shuhua shook his head, ”If a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like me could cultivate a Pill Refiner, then Pill Refiners wouldn’t be valuable anymore. Your talent is the truly precious thing.”

After sighing, he looked at the exhausted Luo Chen and frowned.

”Does refining a pill always exhaust you so much?”

Luo Chen gave a bitter smile. ”Gang Leader, the Four Symbols Tripod is an Ascendant Grade Magic Tool. Even if I only use its pill refinement function, it drains a great amount of spirit power each time.”

”Moreover, currently nobody else can assist me, I have to refine the pills all by myself. How could I possibly not be tired?”

Considering his explanation, it did make sense.

During Feng’s refinement process, Mi Shuhua had been focusing his whole attention on Luo Chen’s actions in the Pill Room by using his spirit consciousness.

Processing raw materials, adding medicine, when to open the cover, when to control the heat, and even occasionally using spirit power to stir the medicine inside the large tripod.

After all these tedious steps, an ordinary Late Stage Qi Refinement cultivator might have exhausted most of his mental and spirit power.

To refine a pill was almost equivalent to fighting a cultivator of the same level.

He thought for a moment, then asked, ”What help do you need?”

Luo Chen answered straightforwardly, ”I need Dusting Pills! At least four bottles a month!”

Hearing this amount, Sikong Shoujia and even Gu Caiyi, who were standing nearby, held their breath.

Four bottles of Dusting Pills, that’s almost eight hundred Spirit Stones.

Currently in the gang, among the nine Hall Masters, besides the dividends, none of them receive this treatment.

Moreover, Luo Chen only received five bottles of Qi Nurturing Pills per month previously, which was equal to five hundred Spirit Stones.

An increase so suddenly, this was truly a lion’s share!

However, after a short contemplation, Mi Shuhua directly nodded.

”No problem. Anyway, Mi Junping will bring you your dividends today, I’ll have her change all the Qi Nurturing Pills to Dusting Pills.”

”But, you must give me a satisfying answer regarding the quantity of Jade Marrow Pills this month.”

Luo Chen grunted in agreement but didn’t make any promises.

Mi Shuhua didn’t ask for an official promise either. After reminding him to take care of his safety, he left the Pill Hall.

As soon as he had left, Luo Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For some reason, Mi Shuhua seemed to have gained more weight in his presence, especially when he didn’t smile.

Perhaps that magic item had given him sufficient confidence!

Luo Chen turned back to look at the Four Symbols Tripod in the Large Pill Room, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.

Now, he had confidence too.
