Chapter 264: Top-Grade Tongyou Pill

"The few Jade Dew Pills I gave you last year, they are all used up, right!"

Hearing the three words "Jade Yu Yu Ludan," Gu Caiyi's face clearly revealed an expression of "wanting."

But this emotion flashed by, and the words that came out of her mouth changed.

"There are still some."

Luo Chen curled his lips and used spiritual energy to send over a jade bottle.

"There are six Jade Dew Pills in here. According to the special method I taught you before, decompose them and take them. One pill every two months, just enough for a year's portion, enough to improve your cultivation."

With her slender hands holding the jade bottle, Gu Caiyi said in a low voice: "I've inquired about this kind of elixir, it's very expensive, right! You are so short of spirit stones yourself, how can I..."

"Stop!" Luo Chen raised his hand, "I am short of spirit stones, but I'm not short of these few hundred spirit stones. Take it if I give it to you."

At the end, he added another sentence.

"I let Min Longyu live in the cave dwelling for half a month for free, and I didn't charge him spirit stones either."

Gu Caiyi blinked her watery eyes and happily accepted the Jade Dew Pills.

This elixir indeed had unexpected benefits for her.

"Then I'll go first!"

The woman's voice was inexplicably cheerful.

"Go, go!"

Luo Chen waved his hand, somewhat impatiently.

After Gu Caiyi left in the night, Luo Chen sighed suddenly.

He knew that the sentence he added just now was somewhat trying to cover up.

Regarding Gu Caiyi.

His mood was extremely complicated.

When he was young, for this bright and beautiful woman, he did briefly have thoughts of "desire," "touch," etc.

But as cultivation went on for a long time, his original heart gradually became clear.

He also realized that it was just the instinctive desire of young love.

It couldn't be called love or liking, what remained was just friendship between friends.

But after experiencing the simulation of the Ghost God Questioning Heart Mirror, he would always occasionally think of that sentence in his mind.

"We won't fight anymore, okay?"

This didn't fit his ambition.

Therefore, after waking up, he tried to avoid talking about things related to Gu Caiyi.

But just now, Gu Caiyi's sincere consideration for him seemed to pull him back into the simulation scene of the Questioning Heart Mirror.

"Forget it, let everything take its course!"

"I can help a little, but if she can't keep up with my pace, she will eventually just be a handful of loess."

Luo Chen shook his head and turned into the quiet room.

Early the next morning.

Sima Hui Niang hurried to Tianlan Peak and talked with Luo Chen for a long, long time.

It wasn't until the afternoon that she returned to Danxia Peak.

Not long after, a "benefit" was promulgated in the Luo Tian Society.

That is, the Luo Tian Society will contribute twenty thousand spirit stones every year to rent a Second-Tier Mid-Grade cave dwelling at Tianlan Peak for a long term!

Any cultivator who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage can use this mid-grade cave dwelling periodically.

Not only that, cultivators who have reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining can report in advance and reserve Foundation Establishment spirit medicine based on their merit.

As long as the Luo Tian Society buys Foundation Establishment spirit medicine in the future, it will be issued immediately.

And when the cultivator establishes their Foundation, they can apply for free use of a Second-Tier cave dwelling once.

Once this news came out, it set off a huge uproar in the Luo Tian Society.

Low-level cultivators all yearned for it, looking forward to living in a Second-Tier Mid-Grade cave dwelling after they established their Foundation.

And several Foundation Establishment cultivators also felt that this move was great.

Their income was considered high.

But they also felt that bearing ten thousand spirit stones for a low-grade cave dwelling every year was unbearable.

Now that they can use a mid-grade cave dwelling periodically, even if they have to swap with others, it is much more cost-effective than renting a cave dwelling alone before!

As for the inconvenience?

Looking at the saved spirit stones and the more abundant spiritual energy concentration, it was completely not a problem.

After this "benefit" was promulgated, Sima Hui Niang's actions didn't stop.

She first caught a few people who were idle, lying on the merit book of the past eating and drinking, but usually lazy.

These few were caught, and criticized publicly.

Subsequently!

Sima Hui Niang took this opportunity to make trouble and brought up the action of rectifying the Luo Tian Society.

The specific action fell on the basic salary and merit system.

She united with the Merit Hall to make a big change to the merit system!

Future merit will no longer just be used to exchange for cultivation methods and spirit medicine, but will be linked to salary!

The basic salary of all cultivators in the Luo Tian Society was lowered across the board!

For example, the basic salary of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator in the War Hall was one hundred spirit stones per month before.

Now it is adjusted to eighty spirit stones per month.

The deducted twenty spirit stones will be calculated based on the size of the annual merit, and will be issued together after the year-end assessment.

If the merit is not enough, one can only take the basic eighty.

If the merit is enough, not only can one take one hundred, but there will even be more!

As for how the War Hall's merit is calculated?

There is a set of detailed standards jointly formulated by Sima Hui Niang and the cultivators of the Merit Hall.

How much effort is put into battle, guard work, how patrol work is done, and even the progress of the War Hall cultivator's personal realm will be calculated.

Not just the War Hall!

For every hall, there are detailed merit standards.

The Elixir Hall will be linked to the alchemy income of the four great alchemists, Qu, Mi, Qiu, and Ma.

The Tool Hall will be linked to refining mineral materials, producing magic tools, and magic tool income.

The Medicine Hall will be linked to the growth of spirit plants, harvest of spirit fields, harvest of medicinal materials, etc.

Even, not just Qi Refining cultivators!

Even the three great Foundation Establishment True Persons besides Luo Chen had their basic salaries lowered by several hundred spirit stones.

In short, one sentence!

The merit of the Merit Hall will become incomparably important in the future, no longer just a chicken rib. And the accumulation of merit depends on how much each person contributes to the Luo Tian Society.

Once this measure came out, it could directly prevent most of the salted fish who were waiting to die.

Some people also expressed dissatisfaction.

However, Sima Hui Niang turned around and said:

"The President's generosity is not a reason for you to enjoy the fruits of others' labor!"

This sentence directly blocked everyone's mouth.

Regarding the lowering of the basic salary, low-level cultivators looked at the big pie of "benefits" and mostly accepted it.

After all, as long as enough merit is accumulated, what is earned won't necessarily be less than before.

And, there is also an upward channel for Foundation Establishment!

And high-level cultivators, looking at the fact that they can directly use mid-grade cave dwellings, didn't have any opinions.

Losing a few hundred spirit stones a month, it's only a few thousand a year.

This money, relative to the price of renting a cave dwelling, is actually more cost-effective.

And, that is a mid-grade cave dwelling!

After this whole set of measures, Luo Chen's goal was basically achieved.

In reality, this set of measures is not complicated.

It's just upgrading the merit system to the "performance" system of his previous life's workplace.

In this way, goals can be set periodically to examine the internal situation.

And, it can also dig out some problems such as people being idle and salted fish pests internally.

To put it bigger, it is Luo Chen being able to redistribute benefits!

Distribute the spirit stones of some lazy dogs to some diligent people.

And the year-end issuance, the empty period of this whole year in the middle, the spirit stones saved, for him and even the Luo Tian Society, will be a huge amount of working capital.

Moreover, with this merit system, it can also promote internal competition and grow together.

As for that set of "benefits."

In reality, the wool also comes from the sheep.

Twenty thousand spirit stones a year, looks like a lot.

But in the future, as there are more and more Foundation Establishment cultivators, the basic salary cut every month, when added up for a whole year, will definitely far exceed twenty thousand spirit stones.

Danxia Peak, in the Huixin Hall.

Sima Hui Niang sat at the head, in front of her was a huge desk.

Outer sect deacon Xu Xiaoliu stood respectfully at

After a long while, Sima Hui Niang raised her head.

"You can recruit rogue cultivators with clean backgrounds from outside!"

"You are in charge of this aspect, and finally I and the people from the Merit Hall are responsible for the review."

Once Xu Xiaoliu heard this, his eyes shone.

The outer sect can finally recruit people!

In the future, he won't be a bare-handed commander!

"President, don't worry, Xiaoliu will definitely not let you down, and will not let the President down!"

Watching him leave excitedly, Sima Hui Niang smiled and shook her head.

The internal policies are currently only suitable for changes to this extent, how to change in the future still needs to be done step by step according to the times.

And externally, it is time to start recruiting people.

Just like what the President said.

A mere two hundred or so people simply cannot support too many Foundation Establishment True Persons.

The number of low-level cultivators must be pulled up!

All newly recruited rogue cultivators will be assigned to the outer sect.

Don't think too much about basic salary, it all depends on merit.

As for how to arrange the extra manpower?

The few hundred spirit fields of the Luo Tian Society are still worried about not having enough manpower.

Otherwise, they wouldn't let War Hall cultivators go down to farm.

And in the future, as the Luo Tian Society develops, there will always be a need for people to do odd jobs in various positions.

"Moreover, many rogue cultivators just want to have a place to cultivate."

On Tianlan Peak.

In the Yi-17 cave dwelling.

Luo Chen waved his hand, and three snow-white elixir pills flew out from the Ice Emperor Tripod, which had turned from red to white.

They fell into his hands with a clatter.

Looking at the three and a half cloud patterns that were faintly extending, a touch of excitement welled up in Luo Chen's calm mood.

"Top-Grade Tongyou Pill!"

Even though he had expected it, he was still somewhat uneasy after brushing the Tongyou Pill to Great Perfection.

Uneasy about whether he could refine top-grade elixirs as before.

Uneasy about whether First-Tier top-grade elixirs would have any effect on him.

But after sniffing the elixir fragrance lightly, all his uneasiness vanished.

That dreamlike feeling!

Can't be wrong!

Top-Grade Tongyou Pill must be useful to him.

Just think about it, First-Tier top-grade Zhongmiao Pills all have a weak effect on Third-Tier demon beasts.

He is only at the early Foundation Establishment stage, naturally it will also have an effect.

"Even if it's just weak, as long as it slightly improves the foundation of the divine soul, it's worth the price!"

Without hesitation.

Handing over the aftermath of cleaning the elixir tripod to Bai Meiling, Luo Chen went straight to the quiet room.

Emptying his brain and eliminating distracting thoughts.

He took out a snow-white Tongyou Pill and solemnly swallowed it.

After a stick of incense.

Luo Chen's eyelids trembled, and his mind sank into the sea of consciousness.

In that empty sea of consciousness, a golden light was quietly circling.

If speaking in the terms of the cultivation world, this golden light is the manifestation of the foundation of the divine soul.

During Qi Refining, it is trapped within the sea of consciousness and cannot go out.

After Foundation Establishment, the dantian becomes a sea, the sea of consciousness is pulled, so the divine soul can be released, achieving the so-called spiritual sense.

When condensing the golden core, the sea of consciousness becomes a mansion, achieving the Purple Mansion treasure land, spiritual sense merges with the soul, turning into divine sense.

I heard that after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, this golden light can even turn into a human shape, which is called the "Nascent Soul" that has condensed the three souls and seven spirits.

At this moment, the golden light trembled slightly, faintly having a feeling of expansion and fullness.

In the dark, Luo Chen felt that it had become stronger!

With a movement of his mind, Luo Chen's consciousness left the sea of consciousness.

Opening his eyes, Luo Chen let out a long breath.

Top-Grade Tongyou Pill indeed has an effect on him!

Even better than he imagined.

Before, the foundation of the divine soul barely reached the standard of a late Foundation Establishment cultivator, and it wasn't very stable.

But after taking one Tongyou Pill, it had completely stabilized, and there was even an inexplicable feeling of fullness.

"If I keep taking it, the foundation of my divine soul will definitely be able to grow again!"

"Three Top-Grade Tongyou Pills, one every ten days, can be used for my one month of cultivation."

At this moment, Luo Chen's heart was filled with hope.

It's no wonder he values the divine soul so much.

It is really because the divine soul is too important!

It's not very obvious during battle, but for daily cultivation and life, it has truly miraculous effects.

When he was at a low realm, his divine soul was too weak, so he could only run the Changchun Technique twice a day.

It was relying on Anshen incense that solved this problem.

After refining elixirs every day, his spirit was not enough, it was after passing the heart tribulation that he could refine one more furnace of elixirs every day.

After Foundation Establishment, it was also because the divine soul became stronger that he could perfectly absorb the Lie Shen incense and run his natal cultivation method ten times a day!

And!

Chu Kui accidentally let it slip before that the divine soul is incomparably important during Core Formation.

Listening to his tone, it seems to be much more important than spiritual energy perfection and physical strength.

It is precisely because of this.

Luo Chen didn't hesitate to spend half a year, didn't hesitate to misappropriate the time for refining Jade Marrow Pills, losing a large batch of spirit stones, just to improve the proficiency of the Tongyou Pill.

Just to refine Top-Grade Tongyou Pills and enhance the foundation of the divine soul.

"I hope that one day in the future, I can prove that my choice was not wrong!"

After Luo Chen sighed, he looked at the storage bag.

Inside, there were thousands of Tongyou Pills stored.

They were all low-grade, mid-grade, and even a full five hundred plus high-grade Tongyou Pills refined during the process of brushing proficiency.

How to deal with this batch of Tongyou Pills?

Leaving them idle is definitely impossible!

That's too wasteful.

In order to brush proficiency, he spent a full ten thousand plus spirit stones on raw materials!

Not to mention the misappropriated time, if taken to refine Jade Marrow Pills, he would have earned at least eighty or ninety thousand more spirit stones.

This back and forth is a cost of nearly one hundred thousand!

Therefore, this batch of Tongyou Pills must earn back the cost!

"One thousand Tongyou Pills, one hundred are low-grade, this can be placed in the Luo Tian Society, provided for internal merit exchange, consider it a benefit I give them."

The benefits of the Tongyou Pill are beyond doubt!

In the Luo Tian Society, it is widely liked by Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivators.

As for the other three hundred mid-grade and six hundred high-grade Tongyou Pills, he plans to find another channel to deal with them.

It's not that he doesn't want to give them to his subordinates.

But the danger of the Tongyou Dream-Entering for mid-grade and high-grade Tongyou Pills has increased to an extremely high level.

It is simply not something Qi Refining cultivators can resist.

"Foundation Establishment True Persons should like this thing very much!"

Luo Chen couldn't use mid-grade and high-grade ones because he took over a hundred low-grade Tongyou Pills when he was at the Qi Refining stage.

Leading to the effect of mid-grade and high-grade ones on him being reduced to almost nothing.

There might be a saying about drug resistance.

Only Top-Grade Tongyou Pills can have a partial effect on him.

But he can't use them, but those Foundation Establishment True Persons who haven't taken Tongyou Pills can use them in small amounts.

Elixirs involving increasing the foundation of the divine soul have always been hot goods!

This can be seen from the fact that Nanyang Warm Fragrance is only a semi-finished Third-Tier medicinal material, but it can be sold for a high price of 7800 spirit stones.

The spirit stones that can be harvested from this large batch of Tongyou Pills will definitely be a huge number.

Just right!

Luo Chen is very short of spirit stones now.

"Which channel should I take?"

"This thing is hot, but also hot to handle. Large-scale selling is too easy to attract covetousness, especially covetousness from big forces."

"Therefore, it's best not to use the name of the Luo Tian Society, and even more so not to use my name."

"Even, I'd better not show up personally."

"And, I have to cut off future troubles, so as not to be chased to the door."

Suddenly, a figure appeared in Luo Chen's mind.

"It's him!"
