Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, the Luotian Society has an extra \"President\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a new position different from titles such as Hall Master, Elder, Deacon, and even small manager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, everyone accepted it very quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>President, as the name suggests, \"summarize and decide on things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is not strange to have such a position appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Placed in an immortal cultivation family, that is the Patriarch second only to the Clan Leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Placed in a sect, it is the Sect Master or Sect Leader second only to the Supreme Elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What needs to be done is to summarize and decide on many trivial matters for the real head of the force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that the Luotian Society took a more popular and easy-to-understand title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What makes the cultivators strange is that the position of President is not the familiar Murong Qinglian, nor is it Qin Liangchen who has a false title, has never done anything, but has a good relationship with the President.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it is a female cultivator from the Golden Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Hui Niang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone is still familiar with this woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person in charge of the famous rogue cultivator small group in Dahefang—the Sima Three Cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She has always had a good reputation outside, her conduct is generous, her style of doing things is measured, and some means can be both soft and hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming to the Luotian Society, as one of the four female cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining, she received a lot of attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the four female cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining in the Luotian Society, Granny Yuan is old, and Murong Qinglian has a master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Golden Hall Master Gu Caiyi has a close relationship with the President, so no one dares to have small thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this one, with a good personality and strong strength, but no position, so she often attracts the attention of male cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, everyone was puzzled why the other two brothers in the Sima Three Cultivators were respectively an Elder and a Deacon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Sima Hui Niang, who had the most ability, was left idle in the Golden Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I didn't expect the President to be so courageous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Directly pushing her to the position of President in one fell swoop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, her status in the Luotian Society is instantly one person below and a hundred people above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the four Hall Masters (Granny Yuan is the Deputy Hall Master of the Alchemy Hall) have to take orders from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many large and small trivial matters, as long as they need Luo Chen's decision, must be reported to her next, and the decision will be made by Sima Hui Niang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such deeds of rising to the top are often easy to be discussed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, it spread in the Luotian Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, unlike the discussions among the lower-middle-level cultivators,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the high-level officials of the Luotian Society did not express any opinions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even various work that should be reported to Luo Chen was summarized to Sima Hui Niang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen, who was in the dark, had been paying attention to the various reactions of the people below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that there was no chaos, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The decision to support Sima Hui Niang as something like a Sect Master, while he sits high as the Supreme Elder, is a bit risky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Luotian Society was established for too short a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the sake of cultivation, this is a necessary thing to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, being entangled in many trivial matters, even with the aptitude of a Heavenly Spiritual Root, cannot withstand such consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for choosing Sima Hui Niang, Luo Chen also thought about it repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First of all, her ability is worthy of recognition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These days, being able to take two brothers, walk north and south, and stand on their own, the ability is absolutely unquestionable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, it is her character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she is an ungrateful wretch or a profit-seeking person, then Luo Chen certainly cannot rest assured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo Chen can still grasp Sima Hui Niang's character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Treat low-level cultivators with kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do not give face to powerful cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before summoning Sima Hui Niang, he had asked Gu Caiyi and Zeng Wen to understand this person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Hui Niang is very good at being a person; after entering the Golden Hall, she has a good relationship with colleagues around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for some tricky guests, she will not make concessions without a bottom line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a personality that can handle internal relations well and is not afraid of offending outsiders is very suitable for being an executor of a force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, it is Sima Hui Niang's identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, this is also a point that Luo Chen values very much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Hui Niang is not an old person from the Poshan Gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is not Luo Chen's closest friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is just an outside rogue cultivator, with no reliance in the Luotian Society except for two brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an existence, suddenly placed in a position similar to a Sect Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are many benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not afraid of her growing big, and at the same time, there are not too many internal relationship constraints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially, it can provide an example for lower-level cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, the President promotes talent, and does not look at the relationship of closeness alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the ability is sufficient, he can even let outside cultivators hold absolute high positions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All in all, Luo Chen finally made this decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after the appointment was issued, the Luotian Society, which was previously slightly chaotic and like a headless fly, really changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Hall Masters no longer run to the Alchemy Hall for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When encountering some key things, they don't need to wait outside while Luo Chen is refining elixirs, not daring to disturb him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they find Sima Hui Niang, after discussion, they can make a decision very quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The operation of the Luotian Society is getting faster and faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The use of manpower and material resources has also reached a reasonable level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, Luo Chen was finally able to get rid of trivial matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for alchemy and cultivation, as long as it is not a big thing, almost no one comes to disturb him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he doesn't have to worry about being emptied by Sima Hui Niang at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the entire Luotian Society, from establishment to development, was promoted by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In every key position, there are friends who have a good relationship with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, Luo Chen also gradually discovered a benefit of promoting Sima Hui Niang as President.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, offending people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All along, Luo Chen has been kind to the cultivators in the society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rarely punishes or scolds others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is related to the personnel composition of his Luotian Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, many people in the society are either his old subordinates or his friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is really not good to let him scold friends for some trivial matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these things, short-term is okay, long-term really affects the healthy development of a force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen knows this truth, but cannot change it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's like the founding emperor fighting for the world; killing meritorious officials will always be criticized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Sima Hui Niang is the President, it's different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is an outsider, her foundation is unstable, and when encountering some things, she will always lean towards the strict side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it is not to the point of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, it really changed a lot of the atmosphere of people being idle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like this old friend Zeng Wen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just because he was not attentive to the affairs of the Golden Hall several times, he was punished by Sima Hui Niang, and even had his salary deducted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeng Wen also inquired through Tang Quan when Luo Chen was free, and specifically ran over to complain to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen, of course, cursed Sima Hui Niang with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he also indicated that he had already delegated power, and in many cases, he still had to respect that woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, to appease Zeng Wen's dissatisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without changing Sima Hui Niang's decision, he gave an extra one or two bottles of elixirs to complete the friendship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending Zeng Wen away again, a smile hung on the corner of Luo Chen's mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is management science!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In any organization, there should be someone singing the red face and someone singing the white face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And if the villain is me, the head of this force, then sooner or later I will offend people and let the Luotian Society fall apart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now Sima Hui Niang is playing this role, and she is doing quite well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sighing, Luo Chen walked into the alchemy room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's time to refine the Tongyou Elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had to hand over various things with Sima Hui Niang a few days ago, and occasionally had to support her who had just taken office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, alchemy these days has been intermittent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, a few shots were mostly failures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, I can finally calm down and refine elixirs well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Start the fire, burn the cauldron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Put in medicinal materials, supplemented by various alchemy techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About two hours later, Luo Chen looked at the three steaming pills with great satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three Tongyou Elixirs were refined, which can support at least one month of cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only increasing the spiritual soul foundation, but after taking the Tongyou Elixir each time, he can also practice the Soul-Deterring Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both digesting the elixir and increasing the proficiency of the spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, when encountering such things, he felt that time was not enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he feels that everything is orderly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not only is the Luotian Society on the right track, but my cultivation has also become orderly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The abundance of time made Luo Chen feel a sense of smoothness he had never felt since he started cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no one to suppress or monitor above, and the people below are like arms and fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wants to do whatever he wants, and refine whatever elixir he wants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The in-depth research on the Fireball Technique has reached a very critical point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is not satisfied with the insights on talisman making of the Fu family, and began to incorporate some of his own understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the beginning, he made many means on the Yushui Elixir, and now adding it to the Fireball Technique has achieved unexpected results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Fireball Technique, in essence, talks about gathering and dispersing as one wishes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Condensing spiritual power, constructing a fireball, is gathering. Making it burst and bombing the enemy is dispersing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I control the interval of gathering and dispersing in advance like the Yushui Elixir, then wouldn't I be able to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen's heart moved, and he waved his hand to cast ten small fireballs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fireballs flew out, but did not burst directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, following Luo Chen's super-strong Traction Technique, they began to fly around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten fireballs fused in an instant, becoming huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it goes further, that is the prototype of the Blazing Sun Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo Chen's heart moved slightly, and the huge fireball suddenly turned into a huge round shield that was thin on the outside and thick on the inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire Shield Technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qiang, who was practicing with him in the distance, couldn't help but be stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magic tool cast was blocked layer by layer by the round shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was still moving forward with difficulty, the scorching high temperature was actually melting the spiritual power imprint he left on it layer by layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Luo Chen grabbed with his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Liu Qiang's horrified eyes, Liu Qiang's flying knife magic tool fell into Luo Chen's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed his saliva and said incredulously, \"President, did you just melt the spiritual power imprint I left on the magic tool?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen smiled slightly and threw the flying knife back to him casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also added a bottle of elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, you need to spend time to re-refine it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qiang shook his head repeatedly; it is easiest for Qi Refining cultivators to refine magic tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just need to leave enough spiritual power imprints on it, and it won't take him much time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What horrified him was that Luo Chen actually had such means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not caring about his shock, Luo Chen returned with his hands behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Fire Shield Technique derived from the Fireball Technique is not known for defense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Its advantage lies in the process of defense, relying on high-temperature burning to melt the spiritual power imprint left by the enemy on the magic tool.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Supplemented by my Great Perfection Traction Technique, I can achieve the effect of seizing a sword with bare hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of combat, to be honest, the effect is average.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because combat is often ever-changing, the enemy's attack may not be just a magic tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with this means, it can also be unexpected, catching the enemy off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, during combat, the main weapon is seized by others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone will be shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What makes Luo Chen happiest is that he has mastered the trick of gathering and dispersing as one wishes for the Fireball Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it extends further, fusing the Blazing Sun Technique is within reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Blazing Sun Technique fused from the Great Perfection Fireball Technique is undoubtedly a second-tier means.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At most in three or five days, I will thoroughly possess attack means comparable to Foundation Establishment cultivators!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small breakthrough in strength made Luo Chen very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But life is not just about cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, he quietly left the valley again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Zhenlong Black Market, Luo Chen met with Tian Xingzi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the other party's expectation, Luo Chen took out a large bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking it, the sound of pills colliding came from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful!\" Tian Xingzi hurriedly took the bottle with heartache. \"Fifty pills, are they all inside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen said lightly, his eyes wandering in the black market hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it is the stage of spontaneous auction by cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's very strange today; very few Foundation Establishment True Persons came, only the Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator who sold him and Wang Yuan the \"Tianpeng Transformation\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Xingzi counted the quantity and put away the jade bottle with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your friend is truly an alchemy master! The Luoyun Shengyan Method, only obtained for a month, has achieved a breakthrough in alchemy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is also thanks to this set of water methods being exquisite, much stronger than those common alchemy techniques.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even in the sect, it can be called a sect...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen's heart trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes condensed and fell on one place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly reached out and pointed at the Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want this item!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Xingzi was stunned and turned to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw that Foundation Establishment True Person was taking out a huge demon beast corpse for auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body of the demon beast was extremely huge, occupying almost all the area in the center of the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the wings that were three or four feet long, which were quite eye-catching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the demon beast was alive, spreading its wings would have the effect of blocking the clouds and sun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it's a Blazing Cloud Peng!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Xingzi stroked his beard and smiled, \"This is a powerful existence among second-tier demon beasts.
