Chapter 247: Wang Haichao's Huge Legacy

~15 min read 2,831 words

From the beginning of the main text of "Longevity Starts with a Grandmaster of Alchemy," Chapter 252: Wang Haichao's Huge Legacy. "President, is there something wrong with it?"

Seeing Luo Chen show an interested smile, Sima Huiniang asked hesitantly.

"Wrong?"

Luo Chen laughed.

"For their Qinhua Li family, of course, there is nothing wrong."

"Lingjun is my disciple and holds a hall alone. If he can marry her, it means being deeply bound to me, Luo Chen."

"In this way, even if the Qinhua Li family loses their ancestor, other forces, out of respect for me, will not dare to act rashly."

Sima Huiniang deeply agreed.

The other party indeed included this thought in it.

However, why did the President still show that expression?

While she was puzzled, Luo Chen changed the subject.

"However, they are thinking too beautifully!"

"Lingjun is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and his aptitude is not good, at least in the eyes of ordinary people, he belongs to the category of those with no hope for Foundation Establishment."

"This kind of marriage object poses no threat to his Li family, and can also borrow the great momentum of my Luotian Association."

"How can there be such a beautiful thing?"

Sima Huiniang was stunned, and then suddenly realized.

She only saw the other party's emphasis on the marriage, with the direct granddaughter of a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining marrying Qu Lingjun at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

But inside, wasn't it also wanting to ensure that Qu Lingjun, with his low realm, wouldn't excessively meddle in the Li family's interests as a son-in-law?

Just thinking about it like this, a look of sudden realization appeared on Sima Huiniang's face.

"The President is wise!"

"Then should we still refuse the marriage?"

"Refuse?" Luo Chen shook his head, "Why refuse!"

The other party had already thrown out the bait, so there was no reason for him not to take a hard bite.

With the strength of the Qinhua Li family, they couldn't hook a big fish like him!

Instead, taking advantage of this opportunity, there was a chance to drag the Li family into the water as well.

"Submit two more marriage candidates for his Li family to choose from!"

"Which two?"

Luo Chen glanced at Sima Huiniang and spat out two names.

Sima Xian!

Yuan Dongsheng!

Hearing her eldest brother's name made Sima Huiniang caught off guard.

But thinking about it carefully, she felt it was a matter of course.

Sima Xian himself had a high realm and held real power in the Battle Hall.

In the case that Wang Yuan didn't care about things all year round, Sima Xian was the nominal Master of the Battle Hall, and he had the qualification to be a marriage candidate.

Most importantly, he was the biological eldest brother of herself, the President of the Luotian Association!

This weight was only slightly lower than that of Luo Chen's disciple.

As for Yuan Dongsheng?

I guess it was a quota added by the President specifically to fulfill Grandma Yuan's wish.

But the Li family would likely not choose Yuan Dongsheng, after all, he was just a spiritual plant elder of the Medicine Hall.

Therefore, the main marriage candidate was still her eldest brother Sima Xian.

But what about her eldest brother's ninth level of Qi Refining realm?

"Will they agree?"

Facing this question.

Luo Chen showed his white teeth, "It's not up to them to disagree, it was their marriage request, so this matter must be done!"

Sima Huiniang's eyes lit up, she vaguely understood Luo Chen's thoughts.

She bowed.

"Then this matter, leave it to me to handle!"

"It will definitely satisfy you!"

After Sima Huiniang left, Luo Chen couldn't help but smack his lips.

As the Luotian Association grew stronger, these things would be encountered sooner or later.

It seemed inconsistent with the quiet and inactive style of immortal cultivators.

But in reality, where there are people, there are interest connections.

Before, they were unknown, and no one cared.

Now, with three Foundation Establishments in one sect, backed by the behemoth of the Ice Fortress, there were plenty of people who feared them, and naturally, there would be people who were jealous and flattered them.

He didn't dislike these things.

Instead, as long as they were handled properly, the interests involved would also be of great help to him.

It's just that those helps couldn't be seen overnight, at least it would take years or decades to see some results.

And right now, there were indeed interests that could help him.

With a flip of his wrist, a storage bag fell into his palm.

Wang Haichao's storage bag!

Before, in Luo Chen's hands, besides his own, there were a total of four storage bags of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Duan Qiankun, Huo Hu, Tu Shan, Wang Haichao.

The first two were all unlocked by him bit by bit with time, and the gains were indeed substantial.

In this process, besides those visible resources, Luo Chen also began to understand restrictions.

Therefore, shortly after unlocking Huo Hu's storage bag, he easily unlocked Tu Shan's storage bag.

After all, he was just a loose cultivator, and there were only some rough spiritual power marks on the storage bag!

If he hadn't been in a hurry to prepare a Foundation Establishment gift for Wang Yuan, after unlocking Duan Qiankun's storage bag, he could have cracked it in one go.

And after unlocking the storage bag, Tu Shan's legacy indeed didn't let him "down".

Poor!

Very poor!

Inside, there was only a little over seven thousand spirit stones in cash, and all other miscellaneous resources added up to less than ten thousand.

To have reached this point, it was really a disgrace to a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator.

It was no wonder that at the Huo family auction back then, he was unable to compete with Luo Chen for the "Qingyuan Miaodan Method".

In fact, this was the normal state of loose cultivator Foundation Establishment.

In order to establish the foundation, all his wealth had already been spent.

After Foundation Establishment, if there was no special skill, he could often only go to be a guest for some forces, or join some forces to sell his life.

Only in this way could he continue to practice.

Those who were stronger and had a longer-term vision would form forces themselves and gather resources, like Mi Shuhua and Wang Haichao.

Luo Chen was also in this category.

There were also some loose cultivator Foundation Establishments who felt that the Great Dao was hopeless and simply gave up.

Marrying a wife and having children, establishing an immortal cultivation family, passing on the bloodline.

In this way, they could still enjoy life for a long time.

However, the disadvantage was that they couldn't involve higher-end resources, could only be tied by the family, and spin around in their own small acre of land.

And often had to be subservient to other strong people.

Luo Chen never had any expectations for Tu Shan's storage bag.

Naturally, he wouldn't be disappointed.

But he was very interested in Wang Haichao's storage bag!

"A mere spiritual sense mark of a Foundation Establishment third-level, without any restrictions mixed in, with my current strength, breaking it is as easy as pie!"

Although he was talking big.

But Luo Chen's handiwork was still cautious.

To crack this storage bag, he had already spent nearly a month.

Today, he was going to be completely successful!

Swish!

With a blue spiritual light flashing, and then gradually dissipating, Luo Chen knew he had succeeded.

He unlocked this storage bag without any damage.

His spiritual sense probed into it, and after just a slight scan, Luo Chen couldn't help but show joy on his face!

"Fellow Daoist Wang, I, Luo, really thank you!"

Spirit stones!

Densely packed spirit stones!

Even though ninety percent were low-grade spirit stones, they were piled up like a mountain, and the quantity was hard to count at a glance.

Luo Chen guessed that Wang Haichao might be very wealthy.

After all, the other party was not like Mi Shuhua who had family ties, nor like Tu Shan who had no one to rely on.

Borrowing the Dajiang Gang, he had operated for many years and collected countless wealth.

Even if there was a lot of consumption in cultivation, there would still be a lot of surplus.

But he didn't expect it to be this wealthy.

He spent some effort to carefully count it, and finally arrived at a number.

"Sixteen thousand spirit stones, among which there are surprisingly three hundred medium-grade spirit stones!"

This amount already exceeded the fifteen thousand wealth Luo Chen currently had!

While excited, Luo Chen's mood gradually calmed down.

It was foreseeable that Wang Haichao would have this wealth.

When he left Dahefang, just relying on boat ticket income, he had seized over twenty thousand!

Later, when purchasing monster beasts from the Li family and Nangong family, he lost a sum.

At the auction, he competed for the magic treasure Xuanhuo Sword with Nangong Jin, consuming another seventy or eighty thousand.

Finally, being able to have sixteen thousand left could be considered his good management in the early years.

"However, this sum of spirit stones, although the amount is huge, if placed in Tianlan Immortal City, it can't be considered anything."

Not to mention anything else, just renting a second-tier cave dwelling costs at least ten thousand a year, and as much as forty-eight thousand.

Cultivators' cultivation time spans decades or hundreds of years.

If you want a good cave dwelling, it will cost millions.

A mere sixteen thousand really can't be put on the table.

Unless there is a continuous stream of income, like Luo Chen's Luotian Association.

"It's no wonder Wang Haichao insisted on staying in Taishanfang back then."

Sighing, Luo Chen transferred these spirit stones to a storage bag on his person.

He currently kept three storage bags on him all year round, each containing various cultivation resources.

Low-grade spirit stones look small, but they always take up space when there are many.

This sum of spirit stones looks like a lot at first glance, but looks sparse upon closer inspection, but for the current Luo Chen, it is a very good supplement.

The large auction held every ten years in Tianlan Immortal City will be held soon.

If he wants to gain something at the auction, he must have sufficient financial resources.

This is not the Dahefang period, when ten thousand or so could suppress the whole scene.

Adding Tu Shan's, Luo Chen's cash savings directly reached thirty-two thousand!

On the Luotian Association side, there are still more than half a year's spirit stones that haven't been withdrawn.

His own income, if converted, can reach about forty thousand.

If he doesn't care and withdraws all the liquid funds of the Luotian Association, the funds in his hands can be even more abundant!

"With this wealth, I can even compete for a medium-grade magic treasure!"

In the immortal cultivation world, the prices of magic treasures also have traces to follow.

For conventional ones, low-grade is within one hundred thousand, medium-grade is one hundred thousand to five hundred thousand, and high-grade magic treasures that are strong enough to be used as a sect's heritage can sell for a high price of nearly one million.

There are even some unique ones that are often priceless and are driven to prices exceeding one million spirit stones.

From the prices of magic tools and magic treasures, one can also define a cultivator's wealth.

Luo Chen judges with the values of his previous life, Qi Refining cultivators generally only have a few hundred or thousands in savings, and have to exhaust all their wealth for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Those who are wealthy among them, after satisfying their own cultivation, can still save tens of thousands in savings, and are the dragons and phoenixes among people.

Can be called "ten-thousand-yuan households".

Luo Chen was one of the leaders among them back then.

And Foundation Establishment people, their wealth is generally discussed in tens of thousands.

As poor as Tu Shan, it's hard to exceed ten thousand.

As rich as Luo Chen, he can even gather wealth of four or five hundred thousand.

Some who are even wealthier are still under one million.

Therefore, Foundation Establishment cultivators can be seen as the one-hundred-thousand middle class.

And when it reaches the Golden Core stage and above, it can be regarded as a "millionaire".

However, Luo Chen doesn't have much contact with Golden Core cultivators, and doesn't know how much their specific income is.

But I guess they won't be poorer than ordinary Foundation Establishments.

As for Nascent Soul True Persons?

That is an existence that can determine a region and create a superior sect.

Their personal assets easily exceed ten million, and even "billionaires" is not an exaggeration.

Of course, this is just Luo Chen's own opinion.

At that level, perhaps spirit stones are not that important at all.

After all, some truly scarce resources cannot be measured by spirit stones at all, and often use barter methods for trading.

"Anyway, I am now a wealthy person among the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators!"

After tidying up the spirit stones, Luo Chen smiled, and his attention fell on other items in Wang Haichao's storage bag.

Miscellaneous magic tools, mainly medium-grade and high-grade.

They can be put into the Luotian Association for sale, most of the profits still belong to Luo Chen, and it can also save him the effort of handling them personally.

In terms of elixirs, they are the Heqi Pills that are widely circulated among Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

There are ten or so bottles in total, worth several thousand spirit stones.

A pile of various materials, mainly water-attribute spiritual materials, which are also extremely valuable when converted.

These can also be thrown into the Luotian Association.

In addition, there are more than ten cultivation technique secret manuals.

Recorded in carriers such as books, bamboo slips, jade slips, animal skins, etc.

Luo Chen took a rough look, most of them are first-tier cultivation techniques.

Only that jade slip and bamboo slip recorded second-tier cultivation techniques.

"Dahai Wuliang Gong", a second-tier water-system cultivation technique, known for its thick spiritual power.

Wang Haichao's main cultivation technique, back then he also relied on this to try to compete with Luo Chen in the thickness of spiritual power.

As a result, he was poisoned by Qing She Xiang, not only unable to exert the advantage of thick spiritual power, but instead restricted himself.

"Liuli Tianmu", a second-tier water-system spell.

Luo Chen is very familiar with this, he has practiced it himself, and it was a congratulatory gift specially sent by Wang Haichao when he was establishing his foundation to dig a hole for him.

After flipping through it slightly, a look of surprise appeared in Luo Chen's eyes.

On the bamboo slip, there were actually records of predecessors' cultivation insights.

"It can be studied carefully, perhaps it can speed up my cultivation speed of Liuli Tianmu."

Happily putting the bamboo slip into the storage bag alone.

Luo Chen flipped through the pile of miscellaneous items left at the end of the storage bag.

Suddenly.

He took out a jade box.

There were no restrictions, only simple spiritual power sealing.

Wang Haichao was only at the third level of Foundation Establishment back then.

Luo Chen is now also at the third level of Foundation Establishment, and his spiritual power is even more pure and thick than Wang Haichao's.

Slightly exerting spiritual power, he quickly broke the seal.

He stood far away, carefully looking with his eyes.

A familiar dragon-eye-sized elixir came into view.

"Foundation Establishment Pill?!"

Luo Chen opened his mouth, and for a moment, he didn't react.

No?

Didn't Wang Haichao not have a Foundation Establishment Pill?

It was precisely because of this matter that Min Longyu couldn't get it after begging, so he defected and joined Luo Chen's command.

But now, how to explain this Foundation Establishment Pill that has been sealed for many years?

After being stunned, Luo Chen remembered Wang Haichao's past actions.

Finally, he laughed out loud.

"This Foundation Establishment Pill should be one of the ones auctioned by the four major Foundation Establishments at the Dahefang auction back then, right!"

"Haha, it's cheap for me."

This kind of elixir used for breaking through realms, because it contains huge and rough medicinal power, is not suitable for daily cultivation.

But in Luo Chen's hands, it can play a big role.

Maybe, it can bring a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator to the Luotian Association!

"In this way, I can be more calm at the auction."

Luo Chen's eyes were thoughtful, and he took out the invitation card given to him by Xuan Yunzi, and the newly added resources on it were getting more and more.
