Chapter 227

~17 min read 3,356 words

With the retreat of the Divine Craft Sect and the Geng family, it was officially announced that Danxia Peak had a new owner.

From then on, those loose cultivators had to seek other spiritual lands.

And on Danxia Peak, the cultivators of the Luo Tian Society also began to get busy.

Min Longyu led a group of people to survey the entire mountain, trying to set up a great array to reproduce the glory of the Min family's array path back then.

The Medicine Hall, led by Granny Yuan and Yuan Dongsheng, was busy on the mountain.

The original Danxia Peak had hundreds of first-grade spiritual fields, which were excellent for planting medicinal herbs or spiritual rice.

It's a pity that for the past hundred years, no one has taken care of them, plus the harm of loose cultivators.

The number of first-grade spiritual fields has plummeted to more than a hundred.

Even these hundred-plus spiritual fields were in danger of having insufficient spiritual energy and falling in grade.

After the investigation, it really made Granny Yuan's heart ache.

Recently.

She led a group of Medicine Hall cultivators to walk in those spiritual fields.

For those that still had grade, she pulled out all the planted plants and planted many common spiritual herbs commonly used by the Luo Tian Society.

Granny Yuan did not give up on the fields that had fallen to ordinary fertile soil.

First, she performed the Bing Fire Land Clearing Technique to burn many cut Qinggang trees into ashes and buried these ashes into the fields.

Then she applied to Sima Huiniang for a thousand spirit stones and made a special trip to Tianlan Immortal City.

She bought a type of spiritual herb seed called Heavenly Silkworm Cloud Bean.

After returning, she sprinkled these seeds on those ordinary fertile soils.

"It only takes three years of rotating planting of Heavenly Silkworm Cloud Beans, supplemented by the Gui Water Composting Technique."

"With these three measures, in three years, these spiritual fields can be restored to first-grade quality."

"It was really a waste of such good spiritual fields in the past!"

"Loose cultivators mostly do not manage spiritual fields for a long time. But basically all sects will open up spiritual fields on a large scale to cultivate spiritual plants. These, seemingly inconspicuous, are important resources that can serve as the foundation of a sect."

She was talking to Luo Chen.

Seeing Luo Chen's curiosity, she explained it carefully.

After listening, Luo Chen couldn't help but sigh that the path of spiritual planters was also so profound.

"The ashes after burning Qinggang trees can actually provide soil fertility?"

"Then if the Elixir Hall produces a large amount of Qinggang tree ashes in the future, it can be used as waste."

Luo Chen thought about it in his heart.

His gaze fell on Granny Yuan, who was hunched over, looking kindly at Yuan Dongsheng who was busy in the field.

She used to be full of energy, but after so many years, she had become old and haggard.

Especially during the time from Taishanfang to Tianlan Immortal City, having experienced a slaughter, she became even more aged.

Her hair was gray, and her body was hunched.

Standing there, she was like a candle in the wind.

I don't know how many more years she can live.

Seeming to notice Luo Chen's pitying gaze.

Granny Yuan said slowly: "President, are you curious about my lifespan?"

Luo Chen gave a light "hmm," curious about why she knew his thoughts.

Granny Yuan revealed a kind smile, "In recent years, you are not the only one who has asked me this. That child Dongsheng has been asking me to rest, saying that he can take charge of these things."

"But how can I set my mind at ease!"

She turned around and looked up at Luo Chen.

"I won't hide it from you, I have at most one or two years left to live."

Even though he had expected it, Luo Chen was still taken aback.

"Since that's the case, you shouldn't toil over these things anymore, go and enjoy your old age!"

However, Granny Yuan shook her head.

"No, having lived to such an old age, I have rested enough."

"I just want to pass on everything I have learned to that child Dongsheng."

"He has actually learned almost enough now, what he lacks is experience. Those spells that spiritual planters need to use, except for the second-grade Bing Fire Land Clearing Technique and the Grass-Cutting Geng Metal Technique, he has also mastered proficiently."

"President, can you promise me one thing?"

In the rambling words, she praised and scolded Yuan Dongsheng, containing earnest hopes.

Suddenly, she asked Luo Chen.

Luo Chen's expression became solemn, "Just say it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best!"

This was not some high-sounding excuse.

But Luo Chen's heartfelt words.

Although Granny Yuan was not his close friend, ever since the Luo Tian Society was established, she had been silently supporting him.

From the initial Elixir Hall to the Medicine Hall.

Even now that they have come to Danxia Peak, she is still radiating residual heat, reorganizing all the spiritual fields of Danxia Peak.

If in three years, she can really restore the prosperity of a hundred years ago.

Then, not to mention anything else, just those hundreds of spiritual fields could become a foundation for the Luo Tian Society!

She really did her best.

Granny Yuan smiled and shook her head, "The President doesn't need to do his best, it's actually a very simple matter."

She pointed to Yuan Dongsheng who was busy in the field.

"That child, although he doesn't say it usually, actually has the determination to spy on the Great Dao."

"But he is not young anymore, and in terms of aptitude, it is indeed not very good."

"So, I want the President to find him a marriage when he is sixty and has not yet established his foundation."

"The incense of the Yuan family cannot be broken!"

Luo Chen opened his mouth.

He never expected that her solemn request would be so simple.

Facing those earnest eyes, Luo Chen took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

"Rest assured, I will definitely remember this!"

"That's good, that's good. I thank the President."

Seeing that she was about to bow, Luo Chen hurriedly supported the old lady's hand.

He could not accept such a big gift.

It had nothing to do with the level of cultivation.

What the Luo Tian Society was busy with was not just Min Longyu, Granny Yuan, and others.

The Elixir Hall, Tool Hall, and even the Gold Hall and Battle Hall all had their own tasks.

The Battle Hall, led by Sima Xian, started construction on Danxia Peak.

Either tearing down the original buildings or filling in those randomly dug cliff cave dwellings.

Then, under the command of Murong Qinglian, they rebuilt new buildings.

The overall building complex is mainly distributed on the sunny front of Danxia Peak.

From bottom to top, they are arranged in order.

Although the full picture could not be seen in a short time, Luo Chen had seen the construction drawings; if completed, the Luo Tian Society would have its own atmosphere.

It is no longer a small-scale loose cultivator force.

But a sect-like appearance with quite a bit of order.

The Elixir Hall side was very simple.

Luo Chen, with the idea of training Qu Lingjun.

Let him lead the Elixir Hall cultivators to collect the geothermal fire caves at the bottom of Danxia Peak.

The planning of the Divine Craft Sect and the Geng family in the past was too sloppy, purely to earn spirit stones and deal with things.

What Luo Chen needed was a new geothermal fire elixir room that could provide the greatest help for him and the Luo Tian Society to refine elixirs.

The test for Qu Lingjun was also in this regard.

For this reason, juniors like Tang Quan and Mili were also assigned to Qu Lingjun by him, to be fully mobilized by him.

If there was a shortage of manpower, he could apply to Sima Huiniang.

The tasks of the Tool Hall and the Gold Hall were only one!

Reorganize Biyou Valley!

Long before moving into Danxia Peak, Luo Chen and Sima Huiniang had come to check it out.

At that time, they saw it clearly.

Biyou Valley already had the prototype of a small market.

And the flow of people was not small.

If Biyou Valley could be reorganized, the Luo Tian Society might be able to open up a new source of wealth.

Not only that.

Luo Chen also handed over the last batch of top-grade Jade Marrow Elixirs he had left to Gu Caiyi.

"Selling elixirs is secondary!"

Luo Chen looked at the woman whose grace was becoming more and more bright and beautiful, and said very solemnly:

"Your task is to figure out the market situation of Jade Marrow Elixirs in Tianlan Immortal City!"

"This market situation is not just price, popularity, but also competitors."

Gu Caiyi asked curiously: "Competitors? The Qi-Nurturing Elixir of the Elixir Pavilion?"

Luo Chen shook his head, "Not just these!"

Gu Caiyi was stunned, and soon, as intelligent as she was, she figured out Luo Chen's meaning.

Unlike the situation in Dahefang where only the Elixir Pavilion sold elixirs.

In Tianlan Immortal City, there were too many forces involved in the elixir business!

Broadly speaking, there are the Elixir Pavilion and the Green Elixir Valley.

Narrowly speaking, there are many cultivation families.

In the middle, there are many gang forces that are also involved in some unique elixirs.

Even a small sect like the Divine Craft Sect, which mainly repairs magic tools, claims to have unique spiritual medicines, right?

Moreover, there are too many cultivators in Tianlan Immortal City, and there might be loose cultivator alchemists hidden in the vast crowd.

These existences, added together, involved in the cultivation elixirs for the Qi Refining stage, are probably no less than a handful.

In this situation, is the Jade Marrow Elixir really suitable for sale?

Is it really suitable to become the main industry of the Luo Tian Society?

Everything is still an unknown!

"No wonder he handed over so many top-grade Jade Marrow Elixirs to me."

"If calculated according to the previous price, that batch of Jade Marrow Elixirs is worth at least fifty or sixty thousand spirit stones."

Gu Caiyi flashed these thoughts in her heart, and immediately said: "I will handle this matter as soon as possible and send you the comprehensive investigation results."

Luo Chen looked at her and nodded gently.

"I trust you in doing things."

Gu Caiyi smiled and planned to say goodbye.

The reorganization of Biyou Valley was in full swing, and many loose cultivators who had left before were negotiating with the Luo Tian Society, wanting to come back and continue doing small business.

As the head of the Gold Hall, she also managed the external connection part.

She was really unable to get away.

Before she left, Luo Chen suddenly stopped her.

"Let Duan Feng come over!"

"Okay."

On the mountain trail, two figures, one in front and one behind.

As they kept going up, the mountain wind became stronger and stronger, and the clouds and mist lingering nearby became more and more intense.

Duan Feng followed Luo Chen in confusion, not knowing why the other party called him here?

If it was because of the Tool Hall, he could just say it directly, why keep silent.

Playing mystery?

But Luo Chen is not this kind of character to internal cultivators!

If it were in the past, he might be able to guess Luo Chen's thoughts.

But now, as Luo Chen has been in Foundation Establishment for longer, his thoughts have become deeper.

Many things, if he doesn't bring up the lead, the people below can't guess what he is thinking at all.

Can't figure it out!

Duan Feng was helpless, so he had to follow Luo Chen up the mountain, walking up step by step.

On the way, the good line of sight allowed him to discover several cave dwellings opened by predecessors.

The spiritual energy concentration was quite high, even far superior to the unique cave dwelling he had in Xiaohuan Mountain.

Duan Feng wrote them down one by one, and when the time comes, he will ask Sima Huiniang to accommodate him and see if he can move over.

It will only take two or three years of grinding to reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

If he can get the help of these cave dwellings with high spiritual energy concentration, perhaps he can shorten the time a little bit.

Suddenly.

Luo Chen stopped in front.

He didn't look back, so Duan Feng couldn't see the hesitation on his face.

Finally, Luo Chen made up his mind.

Amidst Duan Feng's confusion, his hand flickered, and a cloth bag appeared in his palm.

He handed it to Duan Feng.

"Your things."

Duan Feng was stunned for a moment, and opened the bag curiously.

"Returning Yang Water, Glazed Paste, Calming Incense..."

All of them are spiritual medicines needed when breaking through Foundation Establishment.

Duan Feng read the names of these resources, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Prepared for me?"

"Keep looking!"

"Uh-huh." Duan Feng was overjoyed, although he didn't know what Luo Chen meant by doing this, he was still very happy.

Someone prepared the things needed for Foundation Establishment for him in advance.

Whoever it is, they will be very happy.

"Hey, what kind of elixir is this?"

"First-grade Spirit Elixir, which can help cultivators quickly purify the spiritual power in their bodies and shorten the time from the ninth level of Qi Refining to Great Perfection."

Luo Chen turned to the side, with his back to the floating clouds outside the mountain, his gaze falling on Duan Feng.

"With the help of this batch of first-grade Spirit Elixirs, you might only need less than a year to step into the Great Perfection of Qi Refining."

"Hiss!"

Duan Feng gasped.

He held the bag, only feeling that it was a bit heavy.

This gift is really a bit heavy!

In the Luo Tian Society, are there others who have received such preferential treatment from Luo Chen?

Or is it just me?

"Isn't this too..."

"Keep looking!"

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Duan Feng's gaze fell on a small piece of tuber.

"What is this?"

Just as his hand grasped the tuber, Luo Chen's words drifted over faintly.

"Eight-hundred-year-old Heaven and Earth Root, which can increase the chance of Foundation Establishment by 20%, and even if the breakthrough fails, it will not cause huge trauma to the body. Its preciousness is no less than an ordinary Foundation Establishment Elixir."

"So... eh?"

Duan Feng flipped open the tuber that looked like a tongue.

He wanted to look at it carefully, but his gaze fell on the small note.

On it was written "Duan Feng" in big letters.

And that familiar handwriting seemed like a lightning bolt, exploding in his mind.

"Duan! Qian! Kun!"

Spitting out these three words one by one, his face had a moment of disbelief.

Luo Chen patted his shoulder lightly, "I have already unlocked Duan Qiankun's storage bag and discovered these things inside. They were gathered together, and it is very clear that they were carefully prepared for someone. And this person is you."

Plain and simple words.

In Duan Feng's heart, it set off a huge wave.

How is it possible!

That old dog stole my Foundation Establishment Elixir, harmed my mother, and even caused me to have no place to stand in the Duan family.

How could he prepare all the resources for me from the ninth level of Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment?

This is impossible!

No!

It seems possible!

A long time ago, he had been sending people to persuade me to return to the Duan family.

Is it Duan Rui's failure that made him, in despair, pin his hopes on me?

If so, it seems to make sense.

However, in this way, what am I?

I led people to kill him and destroy the Duan family, wouldn't I be the one with a wolf's heart and dog's lungs!

No, I was not wrong.

I did it for revenge, for my mother, and for myself.

But...

"Duan Feng!!!"

A sharp shout, like a great bell, rang out in Duan Feng's ears, mind, and heart.

Duan Feng trembled all over and woke up in a daze.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

What he feared most was that Duan Feng would suddenly be unable to accept that his enemy had become his benefactor.

In this way, wouldn't it prove that everything he did before was wrong?

Under such a major blow, cultivators are particularly prone to Qi deviation.

To use a specific term, that is a heart demon!

Just like Luo Chen, when he was at a low cultivation level, he suddenly had a heart demon tribulation.

At that time, he luckily survived it.

But he didn't know the specific situation of Duan Feng.

So, he specifically called him to a secluded place and awakened him with the Soul-Stunning Technique at a critical moment.

As it seems now, it doesn't seem to have caused anything bad to happen.

"Luo Chen, I..."

He didn't call him President as usual, but subconsciously called Luo Chen's name.

It shows the confusion in Duan Feng's heart at this moment.

He looked at Luo Chen, his body trembling, his eyes dazed.

Pain, regret, firmness, persistence, many emotions merged together, forming an extremely distorted expression.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, his hand squeezing his shoulder heavily.

"I also hesitated before, whether to hand this resource to you."

"I know this will have a great impact on you."

"But after thinking about it, I decided to give it to you, because in terms of reason, this is what Duan Qiankun left for you. In terms of interest, this is the spoils of war for the three of us, Wang Yuan and me, and you have a share."

"As for how you view it, I can't give too much advice. And as for Duan Qiankun, I will only say that you were absolutely right to do what you did back then!"

"Don't doubt yourself; on the path of cultivation, you may make mistakes, and you may have the opposite effect. But for the decisions you have made, never regret, and don't doubt your current self because of the past."

"This resource originally belongs to you, no need for any guilt!"

"Did you hear clearly?"

The trembling body gradually returned to calm.

Duan Feng held the cloth bag, only feeling that it didn't seem as heavy as a mountain as before.

However, the thoughts in his mind were still surging.

After a long while, he smiled bitterly: "I need to be quiet."

"Hmm, go ahead! As for the Tool Hall, I will let Su Xiaolin and Bian Zhen manage it for you."

Duan Feng turned around and walked down the mountain in a daze.

He paused and said without looking back.

"Thank you."

After speaking, his figure disappeared into the misty clouds.

Luo Chen sighed, why are you being polite to me!

However, after handling this matter, the big stone in his heart could be considered to have fallen.

With Duan Feng's character, as long as he doesn't get into a dead end at the beginning, he will adjust back later.

That resource is indeed of high value and cannot be wasted easily.

He turned around and walked toward the mountain peak.

"Now the Luo Tian Society is waiting to be rebuilt, but there is also Huiniang to sit in the center for me, so I don't need to pay attention to everything."

"Time has been freed up."

"Next, I will push the Qingyuan Wonderful Elixir Method to the small success stage as soon as possible!"
