Chapter 265: Fellow Daoist Luo Chen, Save Me

By the Qinhua River.

The originally surging river water, halfway through, entered a huge back bay and became calm.

The back bay was huge, fully several dozen zhang wide.

The river surface was calm, and the breeze was blowing.

Two figures sat side by side by the river, with medicinal tea placed in the middle, each holding a fishing rod emitting spiritual energy light in their hands.

"My Li family is based on alchemy and the cultivation of seven kinds of medicinal materials, and has a small reputation in Lanxiancheng."

"But in reality, besides medicinal materials and elixirs, there are three other spirit fish ponds as supplementary income."

"The Huilong Bay where we are sitting is one of the spirit fish ponds, raising the Huanhua fish that needs living water."

Li Jinhuang stroked his gray beard and talked eloquently.

The many Li family businesses mentioned were all the lifeblood of the Li family.

Speaking so generously, it seemed he wasn't afraid of the man beside him coveting them at all.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, glanced at the motionless fishing rod, and said casually: "Since you want to fish, why not go to the real big rivers and lakes, coming to this raised fish pond is truly boring."

The implication.

Fishing in a pond doesn't show real skill.

You have to be in a big river or lake to see the ability.

Unexpectedly, Li Jinhuang waved his hand.

"Fellow Daoist, you are wrong. The fish I'm asking you to fish for is not the raised Huanhua fish."

"Oh? How so?"

"Huanhua fish needs living water as its source, so the fish pond can only be built in this Huilong Bay. But in the Qinhua River, there is a kind of Green-Scaled Dragon Fish that loves to eat Huanhua fish. Now that the two are adjacent, Green-Scaled Dragon Fish often come in to feed, even with magic tools blocking them, there are often fish that slip through the net and sneak in, causing major losses to my Li family."

Li Jinhuang paused and nudged his chin at the fishing rod.

"The bait we use is specially made from the fish bones of Huanhua fish, which is particularly attractive to Green-Scaled Dragon Fish."

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

"So, I'm here to work for free for your Li family!"

Li Jinhuang said in a weathered tone: "Fellow Daoist, you intend to use my channel to sell your elixirs, isn't that also letting me work for free?"

Luo Chen frowned, "Naturally, your share of the remuneration won't be missing."

"I am a person who is about to die, what use are a few spirit stones?" Li Jinhuang looked at Luo Chen calmly.

At this moment, Luo Chen was silent.

The other person has little lifespan left, at most a few years to live.

Earning spirit stones or something, it really is of no use.

Like that Duan Qiankun, before he died, he was frantically spending money to purchase various resources for the family.

Li Jinhuang, is also like this!

After a long while, Luo Chen raised his head, facing those calm, weathered eyes.

"Say it, what do you want?"

Li Jinhuang nodded, but didn't mention what he wanted, but first said what he could do to what extent.

"I will handle your elixirs for you, the price will definitely satisfy you, and I will ensure that no one knows you refined them, and others won't even be able to find me. Thus, the beginning and end are complete, and there will be no mistakes."

"Are you sure?"

Luo Chen was somewhat suspicious.

Not finding him, that's reasonable.

But even Li Jinhuang, the person who personally took action, could be covered up, that's a bit powerful.

Li Jinhuang smiled slightly, "The old man was born and raised in Lanxiancheng, and I know the large and small sects within a thousand miles and ten thousand miles like the back of my hand. A few channels for selling stolen goods, it's just an easy matter."

"Even, I won't handle that batch of elixirs in Lanxiancheng."

"This way, you can rest assured, right!"

He said it like this, and Luo Chen indeed believed it a few points.

The other person is also an alchemist himself, although not very powerful, he can only refine First-Tier ones.

But regarding the underground channels for selling elixirs, he must know much more than Luo Chen, a newcomer who hasn't been in Lanxiancheng for many years.

Then the question returns to the end.

"What do you want, say it, I will do my best."

"What I want is very simple!"

Li Jinhuang took a deep breath, his weathered gaze became burning, staring dead at Luo Chen.

"If my Li family's unicorn child succeeds in Foundation Establishment, let him join the Luo Tian Society and give him an elder's empty position."

Hmm?

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment.

A Foundation Establishment True Person joining the Luo Tian Society, and only wanting an elder position, and it's an empty position?

"What if it doesn't succeed?" His thoughts turned rapidly, but his mouth was questioning.

Li Jinhuang sighed, "If it doesn't succeed, I hope you can promote Yuan Dongsheng to the position of Hall Master of the Medicine Hall."

Yuan Dongsheng, the grandson of Granny Yuan.

At the same time, he is also the object of the marriage between the Luo Tian Society and the Qinhua Li family.

They had already been engaged before.

After another year, they will get married.

Luo Chen was even more confused, "How does it feel that no matter what, it's my Luo Tian Society that earned it!"

"Isn't that bad?" Li Jinhuang said with a smile.

Luo Chen shook his head, "I only know there is no such thing as a free lunch, there is gain and there is loss."

Li Jinhuang nodded, "That is natural, what I seek is only the hope that at a critical moment, you can take care of the Qinhua Li family on my behalf."

So that's it!

Whether it's the Li family's new Foundation Establishment joining the Luo Tian Society, or the Li family's son-in-law Yuan Dongsheng being promoted to Hall Master.

All are directly increasing the status of the Qinhua Jiang Li family in the Luo Tian Society.

If a great disaster comes, the Li family can naturally rely on the Luo Tian Society to survive it.

Luo Chen sighed: "You old man truly have broken your heart for this family! However..."

The conversation turned.

"Aren't you afraid that after you pass away, I will use Yuan Dongsheng's name to swallow your Li family's assets?"

Li Jinhuang stroked his beard and laughed, "After I pass away, if the Li family doesn't have a master of revival, then even without you, there will be others coveting this family property."

"Compared to those Foundation Establishment people outside who have ulterior motives, I trust your character more."

"At least, with your capacity for tolerance, you won't kill them all, and will leave some leftovers for my Li family."

"Am I right, Fellow Daoist Luo Chen!"

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, and for a moment he really didn't know how to answer.

The other person clearly investigated his deeds deeply.

Only then could he judge his character and perform this act of entrustment.

This is a kind of recognition of his personality charm.

"Fellow Daoist, the fish is on the hook!"

A reminder came from his ear, and Luo Chen pulled the black fishing rod hard!

The transparent and tough fishing line was pulled out suddenly.

In the cold wind, a huge dragon fish struggled and was pulled out of the water.

The green fish scales flashed with intense demon energy fluctuations.

This is actually a late-stage First-Tier Green-Scaled Dragon Fish!

"Fellow Daoist, pull it up quickly, this fish is a good thing!"

"Master, Sister Mi's alchemy skills have improved a lot recently, ten furnaces can produce twenty-something Zhongmiao Pills!"

"How did you know I caught a seven-hundred-catty Green-Scaled Dragon Fish!"

"Uh..."

The excited Qu Lingjun was stunned for a moment.

Luo Chen laughed, praised Mi Li a few words, and went up to Danxia Peak.

He handed that huge Green-Scaled Dragon Fish to Yuan Dongsheng.

"This is a good thing, the feces it excretes can be used as fertilizer, which can improve soil permeability. It can allow spiritual energy to soak into the roots of spirit plants, making them grow fast and well!"

Yuan Dongsheng's eyes shone, and he nodded repeatedly.

He had never heard of this Green-Scaled Dragon Fish from his fiancée Li Yingjun.

The reason why the Li family's medicinal material business is done so well.

Lies in the fact that they often use the feces of Green-Scaled Dragon Fish to improve the grade of spirit fields and assist the growth of spirit plants.

Just didn't expect.

The President actually caught a late-stage First-Tier big fish!

Yuan Dongsheng immediately sent people to take this big fish down to feed it, and then took Luo Chen to walk in the mountains.

"This mountain terrain is relatively flat, with a total of thirty-seven spirit fields, and all have restored their grades."

"We pulled out the Heavenly Silkworm Beans and Ten-Fragrance Cardamom planted before, and are ready to plant Green Silver Flower Grass after the heavy snow. This is a spirit grass that contains sufficient spiritual energy, has high economic value, and has a short growth cycle. The only disadvantage is that it is too fragile and needs careful care."

"However, Elder Min Longyu came to survey it once and said that an array could be set up to protect the growth of Green Silver Flower Grass."

"Over there is..."

The two walked and talked.

Most of it was Yuan Dongsheng talking, and Luo Chen listening.

Along the way, they would occasionally meet some War Hall cultivators who came to earn merit in the spirit fields.

When they met Luo Chen, they would always stand aside voluntarily and greet Luo Chen enthusiastically and respectfully.

Luo Chen responded with a smile.

Occasionally meeting subordinates he was familiar with before, he would stop and ask about their cultivation progress, and answer their questions in a few words.

Just like this, walking and talking, Luo Chen finally had a comprehensive understanding of the spirit fields on Danxia Peak.

It can be said that this is an incomparably huge wealth!

If managed well, the income created every year will be over one hundred thousand spirit stones!

If you put aside the Elixir Hall where Luo Chen is, these spirit fields would be the main source of income for the Luo Tian Society.

Renting this Danxia Peak for ten years for one hundred thousand spirit stones is absolutely a huge profit!

However, the Ice Castle didn't lose either.

They only have the power to collect rent, this Danxia Peak is actually the property shared by the seven sects.

It's just that the cubs sell the grandfather's fields without feeling heartache!

Moreover, managing spirit fields is quite hard, and you have to look after them all the time.

And, you have to have a veteran spirit planter like Yuan Dongsheng.

If it were other rogue cultivators who don't eat the five grains, if you give him a field, he wouldn't know how to plant it, or what to plant!

No one rented it before, mainly because the situation of Danxia Peak was too complicated.

The rent was high, the rogue cultivators who occupied it were many, and small forces like the Shengong Sect and the Geng family intervened.

In the end, it was Luo Chen who relied on his lips and strength to take down this territory.

Even so, in order to restore the grade of these spirit fields, the Luo Tian Society still spent a lot of effort.

Walking to a remote place.

A few narrow spirit fields had already been planted with Star-Pulling Vines that could climb the mountain walls.

Luo Chen stopped.

"You did very well, I hope you do better in the future!"

Yuan Dongsheng smiled reservedly, "President, you have deep kindness to me, and even found me an excellent marriage, these things are what I should do."

It seems he is very satisfied with his fiancée Li Yingjun.

Luo Chen shook his head.

"Continue to work hard in the future!"

"When you reach the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, I will make the decision to let you take charge of the Medicine Hall."

Yuan Dongsheng was stunned.

He subconsciously asked: "What about Hall Master Bian Zhen?"

"He doesn't understand these things anyway, he just relies on his realm to sit in the Medicine Hall." Luo Chen turned and walked back, "When the time comes, the Luo Tian Society will have other arrangements for him."

Having said that, Yuan Dongsheng felt relieved.

Following behind Luo Chen, he looked excited, and his heart was incomparably agitated.

He had no desire for power.

But the Medicine Hall was established and developed by his grandmother.

If one day in the future, he could take charge of the Medicine Hall again, it would be considered not failing his grandmother's expectations.

Next, Luo Chen went to the Tool Hall, the War Hall, and even took time to see the small Biyou Valley market that had taken shape.

After walking this circle, it was already very late.

When he returned to the Luo Tian Hall, Sima Hui Niang had been waiting quietly for a long time.

Sitting in the chair, Luo Chen said with emotion.

"Hui Niang, you did really well!"

Even after years of tempering, her mentality had been tempered to be extremely mature, but when hearing this heartfelt praise from Luo Chen, Sima Hui Niang still felt a bit sour in her nose.

Outsiders didn't know why Luo Chen's praise, which had no beginning or end, came about.

Only Sima Hui Niang knew it well.

This afternoon, Luo Chen didn't just look at the flowers while riding a horse and ask about the development of each hall.

He was also judging their current attitude towards the Luo Tian Society through the three or two words he had with every cultivator he briefly contacted.

Comprehensively cutting the basic salary, this is undoubtedly a dangerous move.

Facts have proven that the decline of countless large enterprises started from opening source and cutting expenditure and grasping internal personnel management.

Luo Chen was just a middle-level social animal exploited in his previous life.

For these principles, he knew that it was so, but didn't know why it was so.

Therefore, when deciding to take this step, he was still uneasy in his heart.

He didn't want to see the Luo Tian Society he built with his own hands end so hastily.

However, reality proved that he had to do this.

Otherwise, the collapse of the Luo Tian Society would only come faster.

During this period, Luo Chen had been thinking about this matter.

That's why he came to Danxia Peak directly after meeting Li Jinhuang.

But after seeing the sights along the way, he found that there was no "public resentment" situation internally.

This proves that the internal cultivators all accepted the series of policies before.

And what made them accept it was not how good the policy was, but that the person executing the policy did it well enough!

Therefore, he praised Sima Hui Niang from the bottom of his heart.

This woman, in terms of management and development, might have shortcomings due to realm and insight.

But in terms of management and personnel adjustment, she is indeed talented.

Now after many years, she has even exchanged her talent for strength!

"The President overpraises."

"I can achieve this degree, it's all because of your prestige, President, so it could proceed without obstruction."

"Prestige? Perhaps!"

Luo Chen shook his head and smiled.

Looking at the woman who looked a bit tired, she must have suffered a lot of grievances and borne a lot of scolding during the implementation of the merit policy!

After all, the generous one is always President Luo Chen.

The stingy one is always President Sima Hui Niang.

Sima Hui Niang said seriously: "At the beginning of the implementation of the merit policy, I first killed the chicken to warn the monkey to deter everyone, and then gave benefits and treatment with one hand and a big stick with the other."

"Especially, the treatment of our Luo Tian Society is much better than the small forces nearby."

"Whether it's good or bad, everyone has an account in their heart."

"And the most important thing is that everyone feels that following the President, there is a day to stand out!"

"Duan, Wang, Min, the three established their Foundations first, Murong Hall Master is about to sprint, so what about later? What about the future? Everyone feels that they also have a chance!"

"And this chance, other small force leaders won't give, only the President alone!"

Is that so?

Luo Chen listened very happily, but in his mind, he thought of Li Jinhuang's words in the morning.

Hehe!

That old man, presumably also judged his character based on this!

After all, everyone can say nice things, but what is true depends on the actual situation.

Luo Chen didn't say too many nice things, but the Luo Tian Society did indeed give birth to Foundation Establishment True Persons one after another!

This is the most powerful evidence!

"I am very relieved to hand over the Luo Tian Society to you."

"Work hard!"

Without saying any more high-sounding words, Luo Chen encouraged her a few words and left Danxia Peak.

If it's any later, the city gate of Tianlan will be closed, and it will be troublesome to go back to that little old man Xu Jingnian.

Now is the critical moment to sprint to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, Luo Chen doesn't want to waste a single day.

Taking a whole day out today was also to investigate the hidden dangers of the Luo Tian Society.

Only when the Luo Tian Society is safe and sound.

Can he concentrate on refining elixirs and cultivation.

Under the cold moonlit night, above the wasteland, a flying boat flew through the air.

Suddenly, Luo Chen frowned, his gaze falling not far ahead.

Three flying eagles, tumbling in the air.

Magic tools flickered, killing intent was cold.

A figure, under the siege of three enemies and three flying eagles, was left and right.

"Interesting!"

"A dignified Foundation Establishment True Person, actually forced to be so embarrassed by three Qi Refining cultivators."

Luo Chen shook his head, having no intention of getting involved in this muddy water.

Just took a look, then urged the Langqi flying boat with all his strength to prepare to bypass the few people in front.

During the flight, his gaze firmly focused on where the battle group was.

He always felt that the person being besieged was somewhat familiar.

"Eh?"

"It's him!"

Luo Chen remembered, isn't this the scar-faced cultivator who sold him three incomplete magic tools.

This person established his Foundation almost at the same time as Min Longyu, and later left Tianlan City before he even had time to stabilize his realm.

In his gaze, the scar-faced cultivator seemed to be forced to a dead end, and suddenly roared.

"Juniors, you are bullying people too much!"

"Die!"

Before the words fell, a brilliant sword light suddenly swung out.

The sword light was majestic, like a sword of a god, invincible.

Under this sword, the three Qi Refining cultivators and the three flying eagles had almost no resistance, not even a last word, and directly vanished into ashes.

"Magic tool!"

"Tsk tsk, unfortunately, this person seems to have only simply sacrificed and refined it. With just one sword, he emptied all the spiritual energy in his body and even injured himself."

"But three Qi Refining cultivators dared to besiege a Foundation Establishment True Person, truly not knowing life from death."

Those three, Luo Chen saw clearly.

Perhaps they can be considered good hands, but they are not very strong.

They are even a notch worse than Duan Feng and Qin Liangchen during the Dahefang period, roughly the same strength as Zeng Wen.

People like this want to kill across realms, truly not knowing life from death.

Shaking his head, Luo Chen drove the flying boat and bypassed the battle group.

Suddenly, behind him.
