Chapter 149

Soon, the three of them arrived at the Yuding Sword Pavilion.

The familiar old man Sun Shou stood at the door and waved at them.

After the three entered, Sun Shou said with a tone of "hating iron for not becoming steel," "You juniors only know how to fight and kill all day; can't you treat yourselves a little better?"

"This is the second time your hand has been broken, right!"

"In my opinion, even if you are given a new hand, you will never have a chance to reach Foundation Establishment in this lifetime."

"The body, hair, and skin are received from parents; this is the origin and foundation, how can you not cherish it like this."

Listening to his nagging, Qin Liangchen remained silent, and Murong Qinglian showed a worried expression.

Before long, he led the three to the door of a quiet room.

Sun Shou spread his hands.

Murong Qinglian immediately handed over a cloth bag containing thirty medium-grade spirit stones; this was the cost of reattaching the arm.

It included the fee for asking someone to take action and the cost of materials.

Weighing the cloth bag, Sun Shou waved his hand.

"Go in!"

Qin Liangchen took a deep breath and stepped into the quiet room.

Luo Chen and Murong Qinglian stood outside, waiting for good news.

Sun Shou couldn't stay idle and started chatting with Luo Chen and the others.

"Three thousand spirit stones is really not expensive; even within the Yuding Sword Sect, it would cost at least two thousand spirit stones."

"The one reattaching the severed limb for Little Qin this time is the direct disciple Luo Tianhong, using a method called the Golden Silkworm Severed-Continuity Technique."

Under his introduction, Luo Chen learned how remarkable that direct disciple Luo was.

Not only did he come from a great family, but his own talent was also strong, and he was established as a direct disciple early on.

And besides his powerful sword cultivation, he also mastered an extraordinary medical skill.

In other words, he is not just a sword cultivator, but also a physician, and even has very high achievements in treasure appraisal and auctions.

Coming to Dahefang this time is also a Foundation Establishment task that direct disciples must fulfill.

As long as the task is completed, after returning, he can focus on cultivation.

After reaching the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, he might be able to compete for the position of Yuding Dao Seed.

If he can succeed, in the future, nine times out of ten, he will be a solid Core Formation True Person!

"During the reattachment, some flesh and bone from Little Qin's own body will be transplanted, supplemented by golden silk spit out by the Green Golden Silkworm. Only in this way can the new arm fit the original body and be as flexible as an arm."

"Speaking of which, it's fortunate that Little Qin has a metal spirit root, so he can use the relatively cheaper Green Golden Silkworm silk. If not, he would have to use the Heavenly Fragrance Severed-Continuity or the Black Flame Severed-Continuity Technique."

"Those two methods are currently only known to the Core Formation Elders of my sect, and the cost of their services is something you cannot afford."

Listening to the old man's nagging, Murong Qinglian's worried mood gradually eased.

She carefully asked about the taboos after the new arm is attached and how to get familiar with it.

Sun Shou didn't hide anything and carefully instructed her.

Suddenly.

"Ah!!!"

A heart-wrenching sound came from the quiet room.

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows; this quiet room was set up with a soundproofing array!

What kind of pain could it be to make Brother Qin unable to suppress it, scream out, and even break through the soundproofing array.

In an instant, Murong Qinglian clenched her hands, fingers interlaced.

Bruises appeared on her fair fingers.

Sun Shou sighed, "I hope he can endure it; this kind of reattachment method is rarely used even within the Sword Sect. The pain involved is something ordinary people cannot bear."

"You wait here; I have something else to attend to."

"Go slowly, Elder Sun."

"Go slowly, Elder Sun."

Murong Qinglian still kept watch outside the quiet room.

Luo Chen accompanied Sun Shou for a distance and took the opportunity to ask about the progress of handing over the Poshan Gang's former shops in the outer city.

After he returned, there was no sound inside or outside the quiet room.

A man, straight as a sword and handsome as jade, was walking out from inside.

Luo Tianhong!

Luo Chen recognized this person.

At the auction, he was the one representing the Yuding Sword Pavilion, presiding over and conducting the auction.

However, unlike the enthusiasm at the auction, he looked cold in private.

He didn't even look at Murong Qinglian and walked straight out.

Luo Chen immediately stood to the side, respectfully lowering his head.

Suddenly.

The footsteps stopped in front of him.

Faintly, a gaze looked at him deeply.

A moment later, the footsteps moved again.

Only one sentence reached Luo Chen's ears.

"The spell was very successful; go in after three hours!"

Luo Chen was stunned, raised his head, and the back was already gone.

"Why would he look at me differently?"

"Is it because of Mi Shuhua or Miao Wen?"

Luo Chen couldn't figure it out and hurriedly went up to tell Murong Qinglian this.

The two were helpless and could only wait outside the door full of hope.

It wasn't until three hours later that the two carefully pushed open the door and entered.

With just one glance, Murong Qinglian covered her mouth, and two lines of clear tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

On the jade bed, a man lay naked.

His abdominal cavity was opened, two ribs were missing, some medicinal powder was sprinkled on it, and the flesh was slowly healing.

Two large pieces of flesh were missing from his left and right thighs.

Where the right arm had been empty, a thin arm, like that of a youth, was hanging there, looking particularly deformed.

Wisp after wisp of golden silk, like living things, drilled in and out of the flesh of the arm.

Beside the body, a lifeless little gray silkworm lay there.

Luo Chen pursed his lips, walked over, and packed the little gray silkworm into a jade box.

According to Sun Shou's instructions, if one has undergone the Golden Cicada Severed-Continuity Technique to reattach a limb, boiling the dead Green Golden Silkworm shell with a large amount of medicinal herbs containing innate energy into a soup and giving it to the patient to drink can have a very good healing effect.

After the arm grows to its original state, it can also be used more flexibly.

After all, this Green Golden Cicada is also a first-grade spirit insect, and its whole body is a treasure.

"Sister-in-law, stay here for these two days to take care of Brother Qin."

"Leave the medicine boiling to me."

"I have already greeted Senior Sun about this quiet room, and no one will disturb you within three days."

Murong Qinglian slowly sat on the edge of the jade bed and reached out to touch the face that was almost deformed by extreme pain.

She choked up and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Luo Chen pursed his lips and forced a smile.

"Sister-in-law, rest assured, that direct disciple Luo said the spell was very successful. Brother Qin will be fine, and he won't be a one-armed hero in the future."

When he said this, he glanced at the new arm that looked like a child's arm and turned his head away, unable to bear it.

"I'm leaving first!"

Luo Chen left immediately, leaving the space for the couple.

"Two qian of dried slug."

"Three branches of fierce insect beans."

"Do you have freshly picked Heavenly Sun Fruit? No old stock."

"And a hundred-year-old ginseng, bring one branch too."

Listening to these medicinal herb names, Bai Meiling looked at Luo Chen suspiciously.

"Are you very weak recently? These are all great tonics!"

"And although freshly picked Heavenly Sun Fruit has the most innate energy, it also has fiery heat, which is not suitable for consumption."

Luo Chen sighed, "I'm buying it for Brother Qin; he just reattached his hand and really needs to replenish his vitality."

Bai Meiling blinked and then ran to the back.

Before long, she brought out the various medicinal herbs Luo Chen needed.

After paying the spirit stones, Luo Chen chatted with her for a while, and only left when someone urged her.

After returning to the courtyard, Luo Chen immediately boiled the Green Golden Vitality Soup.

This cannot be delayed; Qin Liangchen must drink it tonight, otherwise, the effect will be greatly reduced.

It wasn't until night that the Vitality Soup, with the Green Golden Cicada shell as the main ingredient, was boiled.

He accelerated his flight all the way and delivered the soup before the Yuding Sword Pavilion closed.

When leaving, he took a hurried glance and found that his sister-in-law had become so haggard in just one afternoon.

"Perhaps she can accept a husband with a severed arm, but she cannot watch her husband, who has always been very strong, show such a fragile appearance!"

"Presumably, Brother Qin also doesn't want Sister-in-law to see that scene."

"So, what kind of pain was it that made him unable to help but scream?"

Luo Chen shook his head and returned to the Sihe Academy.

He glanced at it; the courtyard was cold and clear.

Duan Feng, Feng Xia, Gu Caiyi, and the others all stayed at the Luotian Society.

Affected by the carving up of the Poshan Gang by various families, the milk supply of the Beast Hall was directly cut off.

The Honey Snow Ice City milk tea shop couldn't stay open for a while.

Feng Xia simply closed the door and went to help at the Luotian Society.

However, the Li family and the Nangong family reached a compromise not long ago, both sides took a step back and fairly carved up the Beast Hall resources.

The Fuzhu deer part also fell into the hands of the Nangong family.

After all, they themselves also raised a group of Fuzhu deer.

When Luo Chen goes to talk to the Nangong family, the milk supply issue should be negotiable.

This is not just about the milk tea shop, but also involves Luo Chen's operation of the Luotian Society, which cannot be given up.

But what about Bai Meiling?

At this time, she should have gone home!

This girl is not gregarious!

Luo Chen wanted to invite her to dinner together; the batch of medicinal herbs he bought in the afternoon were almost all top-quality goods.

The Heavenly Sun Fruit even had dew on it.

Boiling the Vitality Soup with this batch of medicinal herbs improved the benefits to Qin Liangchen by several grades.

Pushing open the door, Luo Chen's hand paused.

A small tripod fell into his palm, and a pair of bells hung on his waist.

But the next moment, he put away everything and grinned.

"I knew it, Brother Wang, you wouldn't die so easily!"

In the room with a faint chill.

The man in a gray linen robe turned around, looked at Luo Chen who was grinning, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Almost died."

Seeing Wang Yuan speak so earnestly, Luo Chen couldn't help but be surprised, "That dangerous?"

Wang Yuan took the gourd and took a sip of wine.

After a long time, he smiled lightly, "Magic treasure fragments, many high-grade magic tools, and bloodline magic treasures, and all three enemies were people with extremely rich combat experience. Do you think it was dangerous?"

Hiss!

Luo Chen gasped; he originally thought the three major powers had paid enough attention to his Xieyue Valley back then.

He didn't expect Wang Yuan's situation to be even more serious.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.

After all, Wang Yuan was the number one Qi Refining cultivator when the Heaven's Pride List first opened and showed the powerful strength of crushing ninth-level Qi Refining demonic cultivators.

Most importantly, his relationship with Mi Shuhua has always been very strange.

Foundation Establishment cultivators would naturally consider him a variable.

"Then how did you survive?"

Luo Chen asked subconsciously, but immediately he felt a sense of unease.

A strange fragrance was becoming more and more obvious in such close proximity.

Seeing his strange expression, Wang Yuan frowned.

"Is it that obvious?"

Luo Chen also frowned, "You didn't really study Xiao Wuyan's blood-path secret technique, did you?"

"How would I study such crude techniques."

Wang Yuan sneered, then whispered, "But it has its merits, so I integrated a part of it into my body-refining path."

It can be confirmed that the strange fragrance originated from the smell of blood.

"I can smell it; if you accidentally come into contact with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, wouldn't you be exposed instantly?"

"Otherwise, why would I hide outside for so long, and only come to see you after almost a month."

So you knew it too!

Luo Chen sighed, and then solemnly took out a piece of animal skin and handed it to the other party.

"What is this?" Wang Yuan asked curiously.

"Inject a wisp of spiritual power."

Wang Yuan did as he was told, and the next moment a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Breath-Restraining Spirit Decision?"

"There is actually such an exquisite spell to restrain aura!"

"Wait, this wouldn't be Chen..."

"Yes, it is the Breath-Restraining Talisman that Chen Xiuping sells best. That Breath-Restraining Talisman also comes from this spell, but one has to practice it to the small success stage to have a slight effect."

Luo Chen shook his head; he didn't want Wang Yuan to become a demonic cultivator or blood cultivator that everyone shouts to beat.

But the bloody fragrance on the other party that couldn't be hidden at all was truly too eye-catching.

Therefore, he gave the Breath-Restraining Spirit Decision that Chen Xiuping gave him to Wang Yuan.

There was nothing wrong with this move.

With Old Daoist Chen's personality, after giving it to Luo Chen, it meant he could do whatever he wanted with it.

And Wang Yuan and Old Daoist Chen still have some friendship.

Wang Yuan lowered his head to read the spell on the animal skin, occasionally showing a look of admiration.

After a long time, he put down the animal skin.

"I was still regretting before that Chen Xiuping was gone, otherwise buying a few Breath-Restraining Talismans could also cover it up."

"I didn't expect him to give the original spell to you."

"In this way, I owe you and him a favor each."

Luo Chen pouted, "Don't, who are we to each other. And this Breath-Restraining Spirit Decision is not so easy to practice, listen carefully..."

Luo Chen has been practicing this Breath-Restraining Spirit Decision for a long time.

He has even reached the Great Perfection level, and even when approaching within a hundred meters of a second-grade spirit wolf, the other party doesn't notice at all.

It can be said that Luo Chen has long left Chen Xiuping far behind in this spell, reaching the pinnacle.

Not just restraining, but even imitating others' aura.

He can still casually speak about some insights.

Next, under Luo Chen's dictation, Wang Yuan immediately tried to practice it.

Initially condensing spiritual power seeds to restrain spiritual power fluctuations and blood energy on the body.

The mid-stage is to expand the number of spiritual power seeds.

Instead, in the later stage, one no longer pursues quantity, but takes the dantian as the foundation to actively restrain one's own state.

At this point, it can be called great success.

On the proficiency panel, it is about the master level.

As for the Great Perfection level, Luo Chen does not have expectations for Wang Yuan.

In fact, without moving, Wang Yuan only needs to practice to the small success level, which is completely fine.

Chen Xiuping was also at this level back then, and the Breath-Restraining Talismans he made could even deceive first-grade spirit beasts.

Wang Yuan listened very carefully, occasionally taking the initiative to practice.

Occasionally, the spiritual energy seed condensation failed, making a bang in his body, but he didn't take it seriously, pressing a few acupuncture points with his thumb to ignore it.

Luo Chen's eyelids jumped wildly.

"Brother Wang, what level has your physique reached!"

He was careful and careful when he practiced back then.

Condensing spiritual power seeds outside the dantian is relatively dangerous.

Once it fails, it can damage the meridians at worst, or cause internal bleeding at best.

Wang Yuan didn't feel anything at all, and his face didn't change at all.

Hearing Luo Chen's question, Wang Yuan said casually, "The transition from Diamond to White Jade has ended, and currently, my physique, by the standards of ancient body refiners, belongs to the second realm."

Seeing Luo Chen still confused, he raised his head.

"Compared to a cultivator's Qi Refining, it belongs to the state of just entering Foundation Establishment."

Just entering Foundation Establishment!

Luo Chen's eyes widened, "Don't fool me!"

"Hmm?"

After reflecting, he could roughly guess Luo Chen's meaning, and Wang Yuan explained seriously,

"Body refining actually has relatively detailed realm divisions: Diamond Physique, Ice Muscle and Jade Bone, Body as a Furnace. They correspond to Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Core Formation."

"When we met that Deacon Miao at the Poshan Gang headquarters, didn't he see through my progress at a glance?"

Memory jumped back to back then.

Luo Chen vaguely remembered that Miao Wen did say, "A good seedling, looking at this physique, the transition from Diamond to White Jade, I'm afraid it's close to Foundation Establishment!"

That is to say, after the battle on Qingjiang Long Street.

Wang Yuan completely crossed the stage of transitioning from Diamond to White Jade and possessed a physique comparable to the early stage of Foundation Establishment?

This news truly shocked Luo Chen.

Unknowingly, a friend by his side was comparable to Foundation Establishment?

After coming back to his senses, he couldn't help but ask,

"Does this mean you also possess the combat power of the early stage of Foundation Establishment?"

If this is really the case, then Luo Chen truly has a backer.

And, not a backer like Mi Shuhua or Miao Wen who covets his alchemy skills!

Because Wang Yuan is really good to him.

Not to mention digging his heart and lungs, he is at least a sworn brother from different parents.

However, Wang Yuan poured cold water on him.

"Do you really think the sword of Foundation Establishment is not sharp?"

"Uh..."

Wang Yuan shook his head and put down the animal skin in his hand.

"The era is changing too fast, and the resources of the Eastern Wilderness cultivation world are also extremely abundant."

"Those Foundation Establishment cultivators have at least one or two top-grade magic tools in their hands. Wealthy people can even afford magic treasures."

"Cooperating with projected spiritual sense and Foundation Establishment true fire, my physique doesn't count for much."

Luo Chen still couldn't accept it.

He asked in confusion, "Then what is the use of this body refiner? Clearly, they are comparable to the Foundation Establishment stage, but their combat power is not as good, and they cannot achieve longevity."

"Therefore, body refiners have declined!"

Wang Yuan sighed, "Why do I desperately pursue Blood Evil Elixir? It's because Blood Evil Elixir can not only help me refine my body but also allow me to practice both magic and body, giving me a chance to impact Foundation Establishment."

"If I can achieve Foundation Establishment, my lifespan will increase by double."

"By then, I can use this time to impact the third realm of body refining. Once the body becomes a furnace, not only can it increase lifespan, but in the same realm, combat power will never be inferior to sword cultivators, and may even be superior!"

Is that so?

Luo Chen felt a hint of loss.

At that moment, he even had the urge to switch to body refining.

Just because the progress of body refining is really too fast.

Even if Wang Yuan has the foundation of a martial arts master, his cultivation years, all in all, are only a few decades.

He, Luo Chen, doesn't have a bad foundation now either.

"However, it's not to say that the second realm of body refining cannot beat a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the same realm."

Wang Yuan said with a bit of longing, "The body-refining method I obtained is incomplete. I integrated it with secular martial arts to adjust a body-refining method suitable for me."

"According to the introduction of that incomplete body-refining cultivation technique, ancient body refiners have specially matched attack means."

"Its power is not inferior to Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"If I had mastered a few means, I wouldn't be hiding in this Dahefang."

After longing, there was loss.

"The means I use now are improved by myself from martial arts, blood arts, and Qi Refining, and the power is not bad. But I haven't tried it with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so I can't determine my true combat power."

Luo Chen took over the conversation.

"But at least, within the Qi Refining stage, you are invincible!"

"Haha!"

Wang Yuan suddenly laughed, "Even without breaking through the second realm, have I ever feared enemies in the Qi Refining stage?"

As soon as this was said, Luo Chen couldn't help but laugh.

Yeah!

When the two gangs were at war, Wang Yuan dared to fight across realms.

On the Dao Discussion Platform, he crushed blood cultivators.

On Qingjiang Long Street, he fought three great experts alone.

He told a joke himself.

Suddenly, Wang Yuan felt inspired, and his thumb pressed on his kidney area.

"Luo Chen, smell it again."

Luo Chen sniffed lightly.

The next moment, he was stunned.

"That bloody fragrance is gone?"

Wang Yuan nodded as if he understood, "Sure enough, your insights can only be borrowed, this Breath-Restraining Spirit Decision itself involves blood energy."

"When I was in the mortal world, I learned similar martial arts, and with a slight modification, it already has a good effect."

Luo Chen swallowed his saliva.

Although he also got started easily back then, he spent a month or two reaching this small success stage of restraining blood energy.

Wang Yuan drew inferences from one instance, and in just an hour, he reached this level.

Martial arts and body refining indeed have their merits!

Since Wang Yuan can initially restrain blood energy, does this mean he can move freely?

Luo Chen's eyes lit up, "Brother Wang, my Luotian Society still has a Hall Master position vacant!"

A full month has passed since the destruction of the Poshan Gang.

The chaos in Dahefang has also gradually calmed down.

The Dajiang Gang and the Lianyun Merchant Alliance have both established a firm foothold in the mountains.

And the Xuanyi Society, which was infinitely optimistic, has fallen into many contradictions because they fought each other when carving up the Poshan Gang's legacy.

Even now, they have compromised with each other, each making concessions, reaching a point that everyone can still accept.

But the Xuanyi Society, this five-family alliance gang, can be considered dead in name only.

In the final analysis, the Xuanyi Society was just a loose alliance temporarily set up to allow the three newly moved families to establish a firm foothold and target the Poshan Gang.

Now, the Poshan Gang is gone.

Those five families no longer band together.

The Dajiang Gang has to take care of water business, and the Lianyun Merchant Alliance doesn't care about territory, only about collecting resources.

Therefore, the rogue cultivators of Dahefang suddenly found that the pressure from gangs hanging over their heads had eased quite a bit!

Some small forces began to raise their heads.

And among them, the Luotian Society, which inherited the Alchemy and Medicine Halls of the Poshan Gang, also stopped recruiting.

Outsiders only thought they could only reach their current scale.

Only internal personnel knew that the leader, Dan Chenzi, had begun his great alchemy undertaking.

The location of the Alchemy Hall has not changed, still in the belly of the mountainside at the deepest part of Xieyue Valley.

But the alchemy equipment has undergone huge changes.

Originally three alchemy rooms, now there are two more.

Five alchemy rooms, one large, two medium, and two small, three scales.

The large alchemy room houses the Four Symbols Tripod, the medium alchemy rooms house the Xuanyun Tripod and the Shenmu Tripod, and the two small alchemy rooms house two low-grade Ziyun Copper Furnaces.

Although Luo Chen's spiritual power is getting stronger and stronger, he still cannot handle five alchemy rooms at the same time.

Therefore, he can still only use the three largest alchemy rooms.

The other two small ones are provided for Mi Li, Tang Quan, and others to use.

Now Mi Li can easily refine Grain-Grain Bigu Powder.

After all, this was originally an unranked elixir recipe, and many rogue cultivators in Dahefang know how to boil Grain-Grain Bigu Powder.

Luo Chen handed over the work of refining Grain-Grain Bigu Powder to her, firstly to satisfy internal needs, and secondly to allow the Luotian Society's shops to have more products.

The only pity is that Tang Quan hasn't successfully refined a single batch of Zhongmiao Pills after such a long time.

His alchemy talent is truly a bit poor.

Zeng Wen occasionally came to take a look, also hating iron for not becoming steel, and then beat him up.

This concerns your uncle's happiness in the second half of his life!

Today, the Luotian Society is under martial law.

Luo Chen put on a brand-new top-grade cyan Daoist robe and stepped into the alchemy room.

"Start the fire!"

He looked solemn, with a hint of excitement in his heart.

Finally, no one is monitoring his alchemy all the time anymore.

In the future, he can also freely refine the elixirs he likes.

For an alchemist, this is undoubtedly the happiest thing.

Two hours later, Luo Chen stopped his alchemy work, slightly tired.

Even though there were still three alchemy rooms, because one alchemy room was changed to a first-grade mid-grade alchemy tripod, there was one more portion of raw materials.

He now has to take care of the refining of eight portions of raw materials at once.

The consumption of his mind is undoubtedly huge.

This is not a problem of adding one more portion, but reaching a critical point when he was originally at ease.

"The practice of Bright Spirit Breaking Evil must be persisted in!"

Luo Chen sighed and immediately notified the elixir-nurturing alchemists to come in and collect the elixirs.

The leader of the elixir-nurturing alchemists is named Qiu Ying.

She was a female cultivator from the original Medicine Hall, at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Now she is responsible for leading the elixir-nurturing alchemists and leading the herb apprentices, holding two positions.

For this, Luo Chen also offered her the salary of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

You can't mistreat the workers!

"Twenty low-grade Jade Marrow Elixirs, eighty mid-grade Jade Marrow Elixirs!"

Qiu Ying read out this number, only slightly surprised.

Leader Dan Chenzi truly has profound alchemy attainments.

But in the hearts of the two elixir-nurturing alchemists who survived, it caused a huge uproar.

This is already a sixty percent success rate.

And in terms of finished product rate, it is also as high as one to four.

The Hall Master, no, the Leader's alchemy skills have improved again!

Luo Chen was not surprised by this.

The proficiency of the master-level Jade Marrow Elixir generally only has a fifty percent success rate.

But he has refined too many low-grade Jade Marrow Elixirs and has already reached the point of perfection.

Occasionally having one more portion is just a pleasant surprise.

That extra portion of low-grade Jade Marrow Elixir was something he did deliberately.

Not to cover up his alchemy attainments.

But to enrich the categories.

There are always some poor early-stage rogue cultivators who can't afford elixirs.

Luo Chen also has to take care of these poor brothers!

"Put the elixirs into the elixir-nurturing room and store them well in bottles."

"Also, arrange for people to clean the alchemy room and wash the alchemy tripods."

"In addition, those who are free, go help Mi Li refine Grain-Grain Bigu Pills."

After arranging things, Luo Chen rubbed his eyebrows and went to wash his hands.

Refining eight portions of Jade Marrow Elixir at once is truly a bit tiring.

With his soul strength, he can't quite handle it.

"I don't know how the Medicine King Sect refines elixirs, they can actually open herb pavilions all over the five regions, and still have the energy to open up markets outside the six regions of the Far East."

Luo Chen muttered, full of curiosity.

He feels that he has done his best so far.

But the alchemy efficiency doesn't seem to be high enough.

After washing his hands, Luo Chen went to Mi Li's alchemy room to take a look.

Mi Li has completely recovered, and under Luo Chen's care, she has taken a few elixirs that can compensate for congenital deficiencies.

Although it cannot cure her congenital deficiency, at least she doesn't look as sickly as usual.

At this moment, she is leading an alchemy room alone, looking quite excited.

"Originally, Mi Shuhua was training her as an alchemist, which shows she has a certain alchemy talent."

"But unfortunately, Mi Shuhua's training was inappropriate."

"He was too anxious!"

Mi Shuhua's method of training alchemists was too rough, emphasizing "urgency"!

Luo Chen can understand; after all, Mi Shuhua held the Jade Marrow Elixir recipe, which is a huge source of wealth that can be foreseen.

Anyone would be unable to hold back and want to cash in immediately.

But the training of alchemists really cannot be rushed.

Luo Chen has a system, and he still has to take it step by step.

Ordinary people can't stand such tossing.

Therefore, Luo Chen intends to train Mi Li bit by bit.

From the initial herb apprentice to the unranked Grain-Grain Bigu Powder.

Only when she can control the success rate of Grain-Grain Bigu Powder to about thirty percent will he try to let her handle first-grade elixirs.

Thirty percent is about the perfect level of proficiency on the panel, and she can already refine mid-grade elixirs.

"Then was my training of Tang Quan also too anxious?"

Suddenly, Luo Chen reflected on himself!

He suddenly realized that letting Tang Quan refine Zhongmiao Pills back then seemed to be a bit of nepotism.

And at that time, it was aimed at letting Tang Quan practice, and failure was just a waste of the Poshan Gang's spirit stones.

But now, if it fails again, the waste will be my own spirit stones!

"So I was just like Mi Shuhua, blinded by a leaf."

Luo Chen smiled lightly, and the corner of his eye caught a small figure.

"Stop!"

"Stop!"

Luo Chen gave a light drink, and the little guy who drilled out of the alchemy room stood there obediently.

Looking at this handsome little boy, Luo Chen waved his hand.

"Come here!"

The little boy walked to Luo Chen's side with trepidation, his height about the same as Luo Chen's when sitting.

Luo Chen looked at the other party, his expression serious, "Don't you know the alchemy room is very dangerous? Who told you to go in?"

The little boy said timidly, "I wanted to go help."

"Help?" Luo Chen couldn't help but laugh, "You aren't even as tall as the tripod's feet, what can you help with?"

"Leader, Leader, did Lingjun offend you?"

An old voice came anxiously from the door of the alchemy room.

It was Qu Hancheng, currently responsible for training fire workers and arranging the rotation of fire workers between several alchemy rooms.

Qu Hancheng ran over, and without saying a word, pulled Qu Lingjun over, intending to spank him.

"This child, causing trouble every day, must be severely disciplined!"

However, before his hand fell, Luo Chen lifted his hand with a wisp of spiritual power.

"Forget it, stop pretending."

"Who doesn't know you, Old Man Qu, love your little grandson the most."

Qu Hancheng smiled, and an old face smiled as brightly as a chrysanthemum.

He pulled Qu Lingjun, who was hiding behind, out and made him stand in front of Luo Chen.

Luo Chen shook his head, "The work in the Alchemy Hall is quite dangerous. It even exploded furnaces before. Why did you bring a child here?"

"Actually, he's not that young, he'll be twelve soon, and then he can practice."

Qu Hancheng looked at his little grandson, his tone full of love.

"He's just mischievous at home, and his mother can't control him, so I simply brought him to Xieyue Valley."

"For one, it's convenient to look after him, and for another, I want him to learn something."

When he said this, Qu Hancheng said with emotion, "Our Luotian Society has many talents, Lingjun just needs to learn a little bit, and in the future, when I die, I won't have to worry about him."

There are indeed many talents in the Luotian Society.

Especially the Alchemy Hall, which absorbed the essence of the original Alchemy and Medicine Halls of the Poshan Gang.

Even if Qu Lingjun only learns two tricks of spirit planting, he won't have to worry about his livelihood when he grows up.

"Grandpa, I just like that big thing!"

Qu Lingjun blinked his big eyes and pointed to the largest alchemy room.

Big thing?

There is indeed a big thing in there, the Four Symbols Tripod that is one zhang high.

Luo Chen carefully looked at Qu Lingjun, lost in thought.

The sound of Qu Hancheng disciplining his little grandson came to his ears.

Nothing more than it's too dangerous, that's the Leader's treasure, and so on.

After a long time, Qu Hancheng said cautiously, "Leader, I'll take Lingjun to the field pavilion first, let Xiugu help look after him, and then I'll come back, is that okay?"

Xiugu was a female cultivator from the original Medicine Hall, with a very gentle personality and great patience with others.

Unexpectedly, Luo Chen shook his head.

He waved his hand, and Qu Lingjun walked to his side lively.

"Can you read?"

"Yes! My mother taught me."

"Then I'll give you a task."

A book fell into that tiny hand, with the four characters "Hundred Herb Atlas" written on it.

"Within a month, memorize this book. I don't ask for understanding, I only ask you to memorize it all, including those pictures."

Hearing that he had to memorize a book, the little boy's face became miserable.

However, hearing that there were pictures inside, his face showed curiosity again.

"Lingjun, hurry up and thank the Leader!" Qu Hancheng was overjoyed and hurriedly pulled the little boy to thank him.

Listening to the crisp voice of thanks, Luo Chen didn't care.

He waved his hand and signaled for the two to go down.

He sat in place, lost in thought.

After a long time, he got up and entered Mi Li's alchemy room.

Watching the elixir-nurturing deacon Qiu Ying and Mi Li happily counting the freshly baked Grain-Grain Bigu Pills.

In the steaming heat, two beautiful faces were so excited.

"The Luotian Society is finally on the right track!"

Luo Chen sighed and turned to leave.

"This is the Nangong family territory!"

Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang guarded the left and right, followed by a team of ten led by Battle Hall Elder Sima Xian.

The former was introducing the group of buildings below to Luo Chen.

"The one being built over there is the beast field; it is said that the Nangong family will specifically dispatch cultivators to guard it."

"This side is..."

Looking down, Luo Chen's expression was complex.

Nangong family territory?

It's just the Mi family territory!

Remembering two months ago, when he came here alone, everything he saw was Mi family members.

Now, everything has changed.

"Who goes there!"

A sharp shout came from below, and then a figure flew straight up.

Luo Chen didn't speak, and Sima Xian greeted him head-on.

"Luotian Society Leader Dan Chenzi, holding a visiting card, has come to visit Senior Nangong Jin!"

As he spoke, a gold-stamped card flew out directly.

The Nangong family cultivator was stunned for a moment and subconsciously reached out to catch it.

However, as soon as he got it, his expression changed slightly.

In the air, he was pushed back three zhang by a massive force.

"You!"

Sima Xian is a cold and inarticulate person, and seeing this, he only twitched the corners of his mouth.

The cultivator's eyes were full of anger, and after saying "wait," he flew back to the group of buildings below.

After he left, Zhou Yuanli said worriedly, "Leader, will we offend the Nangong family by doing this?"

Luo Chen shook his head and didn't speak.

Sima Xian's rude action just now was not his own intention, but Luo Chen's specific instruction.

Doing such an offensive act, he was not blindly arrogant.

In fact, he was testing whether Miao Wen's name was easy to use?

And the result could be seen immediately.

Led by a cultivator, Luo Chen met the master of the Nangong family in a flower hall.

The young master!

Luo Chen looked at the handsome face with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, as if he were Pan An, and his eyebrows frowned inadvertently.

It was Nangong Qin, not the Foundation Establishment True Person Nangong Jin!

"I suppose this must be the Luotian Society Leader, Master Dan Chenzi! Long admired, long admired!"

Luo Chen loosened his eyebrows; one shouldn't hit a smiling person!

"I am Luo Chen, I have met Fellow Daoist Nangong."

Nangong Qin was not surprised; people like them had long known Dan Chenzi's true information.

He sat down in the main seat and smiled lightly, "Nothing happens without a reason; Fellow Daoist came uninvited, what for?"

In his hand, he was playing with the gold-stamped name card, which was marked with the name of Luotian Society Dan Chenzi.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "Discussing a small business, I don't know if your family is interested?"

"Oh?"

"It's related to Fuzhu deer."

"Then let's hear it."

After a long time, Nangong Qin nodded knowingly.

"It is indeed a good business, a bit profitable for you and me."

"However..."

As soon as these two words came out, Luo Chen, who was full of smiles, put away his smile.

Nangong Qin smiled without warmth, "I just moved here not long ago, and everything is waiting to be done, and I am busy with construction. I really can't spare the hands to provide your society with a stable source of Fuzhu deer milk. So..."

"Sorry!"

Luo Chen's face looked a bit gloomy, he chatted a few words, and then bid farewell.

Nangong Qin only sent him to the door of the flower hall and stopped sending him off.

Looking at Luo Chen's departing back, a cold smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

A mere eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator, still putting on the airs of a master in front of him, really thinking of himself as a character!

Suddenly, his ears moved, and he walked toward the back.

Before long, he walked all the way into a quiet underground room full of spiritual energy.

Stepping in, he took a deep breath, and felt light all over.

"Father, this spiritual vein is truly not bad, it actually has the effect of a second-grade one."

The middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on the futon in the room opened his eyes.

His gaze fell on the corner, with a hint of heartache.

"It's all exchanged for medium-grade spirit stones, it cannot be used for long-term cultivation, only for urgent use."

Hearing this, Nangong Qin couldn't help but wake up.

It was only a first-grade spiritual vein; the abundance of spiritual energy here was converted from medium-grade spirit stones by the gathering spirit array.

If it were for long-term cultivation, it would inevitably consume a lot.

After reacting, he was even more puzzled.

"Since that's the case, why refuse Luo Chen's business request? A business of thousands of spirit stones every month, and a lot can be earned in a year."

What's valuable about Fuzhu deer are the antlers and blood, the rest of the bones, meat, and milk are useless.

The Luotian Society's business is considered opening up a source of income for them.

However, Nangong Jin shook his head.

"Xiao Qin, you don't understand."

"Doing business, you don't just look at the benefits, you also look at the object."

Nangong Qin was puzzled, "Isn't the Luotian Society covered by Deacon Miao? He comes from the Yuding Sword Sect, so we should give him face!"

"Face, of course, must be given. But it depends on how you give it?"

"If you give it wrong, it will make him unhappy instead."

Nangong Jin didn't point it out, but guided the future Nangong family head to think for himself.

Nangong Qin was also used to this mode of conversation and frowned, thinking carefully.

After a while, he seemed to have gained something.

"Father means that Deacon Miao values Luo Chen's alchemy skills; if he has any requests regarding alchemy, we should naturally satisfy them."

"In this way, it can be considered taking care of Deacon Miao's face."

"But in other aspects, there is no need?"

After thinking this through, Nangong Qin's whole train of thought opened up.

He paced in the quiet room, talking eloquently.

"With power and many subordinates to command, people's ambitions will expand unconsciously."

"But in the eyes of that Deacon Miao, he doesn't want another Poshan Gang to appear under his hands; he just wants a Luotian Society that can stably refine elixirs."

"Therefore, apart from alchemy business, we don't need to pay attention to Dan Chenzi in other aspects."

"If we associate too deeply, it's easy to provoke that person's dissatisfaction."

A child can be taught!

Nangong Jin smiled slightly, "That's the logic. And, we must also consider that the Luotian Society comes from the Poshan Gang."

"In other words, this force has more or less blood feuds with our five major families, and even the Dajiang Gang and the Lianyun Merchant Alliance."

"In that battle back then, how many Poshan Gang cultivators died at our hands, and among those who survived, could there be their relatives and friends?"

"Under these circumstances, how to contact them must be considered."

"If you are not careful, we might make other families dissatisfied."

After hearing this, Nangong Qin felt deeply.

It's not just the Luotian Society that has a feud with them; the five major families also have quite a bit of resentment with the Luotian Society.

Not to mention anything else, Qin Liangchen is a hurdle that the Nangong family cannot overcome!

Ten clansmen died in that golden light, and even he himself suffered non-minor external injuries.

If there is a chance in the future, a decision will definitely have to be made.

"Father, I understand."

"Since that's the case, in the future, apart from matters regarding alchemy, I will treat the Luotian Society as a small rogue cultivator force."

After speaking, he exited the quiet room.

Walking in the quiet secret passage, he suddenly felt something.

Today, Luo Chen held a visiting card and wanted to see his father, who is at the Foundation Establishment stage.

But his father sent him out, and he thought there was this meaning in it.

You can give Deacon Miao face, but you don't have to give the so-called "Dan Chenzi" face.

In the wilderness, a team of thirteen was walking slowly.

They didn't use the Wind-Riding Technique, nor did they fly with magic tools, but just walked simply.

Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang followed closely behind.

Sima Xian led the team, scattered in all directions, preventing enemies.

The one in the middle had a gloomy expression at the moment.

"Miao Wen's name as an investor is not very useful!"

Luo Chen recalled the initial interaction with the Nangong family, and the other party's reactions all fell into his mind.

They had a high tolerance for him, and the slight rudeness was not mentioned at all.

This is Miao Wen's influence.

However, when it comes to business...

"No, Nangong Qin was interested at first."

"But after hearing that it had nothing to do with alchemy, he flatly refused."

"So, is it the Nangong family's decision, guessing Miao Wen's psychology?"

After thinking about this, Luo Chen felt a bit uncomfortable.

The Luotian Society is indeed centered on him and serves his alchemy.

But this force, relying solely on alchemy, will definitely not go far.

So many people, just feeding them for nothing, is truly too wasteful.

Even if they can't reach the level of comprehensive development of the Poshan Gang back then, at least they have to walk on several legs together.

Luo Chen doesn't want to take big steps and pull his balls.

Therefore, he just intends to take it bit by bit, using small things like Fuzhu milk tea to open up the situation bit by bit.

It is both opening up the situation and testing Miao Wen's tolerance for him.

In the final analysis, Miao Wen is different from Mi Shuhua.

Before shearing Mi Shuhua's wool, Luo Chen had learned more or less about Mi Shuhua's personality and general style of handling things from Qin Liangchen, Wang Yuan, Zeng Wen, and even many cultivators from the Medicine Hall back then.

Only after knowing the other party's personality and general style could he shear the wool effectively.

But Miao Wen, this is a Foundation Establishment True Person from a large sect.

He has had too little contact, and the outside world's evaluation of him is mixed.

All understanding of him is inaccurate.

It is very likely to be a mask that the other party actively presents.

Especially thinking back to the beginning, Miao Wen unintentionally killed several birds with one stone, and even conducted a heart-questioning interrogation on himself.

This person is definitely not as kind as he looks on the surface.

Under these circumstances, he must consider the other party's reaction in everything he does.

But judging from today's test, it doesn't seem very good!

Suddenly, Luo Chen stopped his steps.

Because Sima Xian came in front of him.

"What's wrong?"

"Leader, we might need to take a detour."

"Hmm?"

A huge fortress stood on the wilderness plain.

The corner towers were towering, the walls were long and brand new, showing it was built not long ago.

Banners were hung high, fluttering in the wind.

On the fortress wall, a dark cyan plaque was hung, engraved with two characters—Fu Family!

Looking at this huge fortress, there were hundreds of people active inside, and many mortals were reclaiming land nearby.

Luo Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.
