Chapter 265

By the Qinhua River.

The originally rushing river water, when it reached the middle, had a part enter a huge bay and became calm.

The bay is huge, dozens of feet wide.

The river surface is calm, and the breeze blows.

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

"My Li family is based on alchemy and cultivating seven kinds of medicinal materials, and has a small reputation in Tianlan Immortal City."

"But in fact, in addition to medicinal materials and elixirs, there are three other spiritual fish ponds as supplementary income."

"The Huilong Bay under our feet is one of the spiritual fish ponds, raising Huanhua fish that need living water."

Li Jinhuang stroked his gray beard and talked eloquently.

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

Saying it so generously, he didn't seem to be afraid of the man next to him coveting it 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 really boring."

The implication.

Fishing in a pond doesn't show real skill.

It has to be a big river or lake to see the ability.

Unexpectedly, Li Jinhuang waved his hand.

"Fellow Daoist, you are wrong. What I asked you to fish is not the raised Huanhua fish."

"Oh? How so?"

"Huanhua fish need living water as a 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 likes Huanhua fish as food. Now that the two are adjacent, Green-Scaled Dragon Fish often come in to feed. Even if there are magic tools to block them, there are often fish that slip through the net and sneak in, causing major losses to my Li family."

Li Jinhuang paused and pursed his lips 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 am working for free for your Li family!"

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

Luo Chen frowned. "Naturally, your reward will not be less."

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

At this moment, Luo Chen was silent.

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

Earning spirit stones and so on is indeed useless.

Like that Duan Qiankun, before he died, he spent money crazily to purchase various resources for the family.

Li Jinhuang is also like this!

After a long while, Luo Chen raised his head and met those calm, vicissitudes eyes.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

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

"I will handle your elixirs for you, the price will definitely satisfy you, and ensure that no one knows that you refined them, and others won't even find me. In this way, the beginning and the end are complete, and there is no mistake."

"Are you sure?"

Luo Chen was a bit suspicious.

It is reasonable not to find him.

But even Li Jinhuang, who did it himself, could be covered up, which is a bit powerful.

Li Jinhuang smiled slightly. "The old man was born in Tianlan Immortal City since childhood. I know like the back of my hand the countless sects, large and small, in this thousand-mile land and ten-thousand-mile range. A few channels for selling stolen goods are just easy things."

"Even, I won't handle that batch of elixirs in Tianlan Immortal City."

"Now, can you rest assured!"

He said so, and Luo Chen indeed believed it a bit.

The other party is also an alchemist, although not very powerful, and can only refine Tier 1 ones.

But he must know much more about the underground channels for selling elixirs than Luo Chen, a newcomer who has not been in Tianlan Immortal City for a few years.

Then the question returns to the end.

"Tell me what you want, and I will do my best."

"What I want is very simple!"

Li Jinhuang took a deep breath, his vicissitudes eyes became burning, staring at Luo Chen.

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

Hmm?

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment.

A true Foundation Establishment cultivator joins the Luo Tian Society, and only wants an elder position, and it is a nominal position?

"What if it doesn't succeed?" His thoughts turned rapidly, but he asked.

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 a year, they will get married.

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

"Isn't it good?" Li Jinhuang said with a smile.

Luo Chen shook his head. "I only know that there is no such thing as a free lunch; there must be gains and losses."

Li Jinhuang nodded. "That is natural. What I seek is just the hope that you can take care of the Qinhua Li family at a critical moment."

So that's it!

Whether it is 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 River 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.

Luo Chen sighed. "Old man, you really have broken your heart for this family! However..."

The conversation turned.

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

Li Jinhuang stroked his beard and smiled. "After I go, if the Li family has no master of revival, then even without you, others will covet 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 you will leave some leftovers for my Li family."

"Am I right, Fellow Daoist Luo Chen!"

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, and for a while, he really didn't know how to answer.

The other party clearly investigated his deeds deeply.

Only then can he judge his personality and do the entrustment.

This is a recognition of his personal charm.

"Fellow Daoist, the fish is hooked!"

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 flickered with intense demonic energy fluctuations.

This is actually a late-stage Tier 1 Green-Scaled Dragon Fish!

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

"Master, Sister Mi's alchemy has improved a lot recently. Ten furnaces can produce more than twenty Zhongmiao Pills!"

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

"Uh..."

Qu Lingjun, who was full of excitement, was stunned.

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

He handed the 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 spiritual plants, making them grow fast and well!"

Yuan Dongsheng's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

He had heard about the Green-Scaled Dragon Fish from his fiancée Li Yingjun.

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

It is because they often use the feces of Green-Scaled Dragon Fish to improve the grade of spiritual fields and assist the growth of spiritual plants.

Just didn't expect.

The President actually caught a late-stage Tier 1 big fish!

Yuan Dongsheng immediately sent someone 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 spiritual fields, and they have all restored their grades."

"We pulled out the Tiancan Yundou and Shixiang Kou planted before, and are preparing to plant Qingyin Flower Grass after the heavy snow. This is a spiritual grass that contains abundant 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 Qingyin Flower Grass."

"That side 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 Battle Hall cultivators who came to earn merits in the spiritual fields.

When they met Luo Chen, they would always take the initiative to stand aside 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 doubts in a few words.

Just like this, walking and talking.

Luo Chen finally had a comprehensive understanding of the spiritual fields on Danxia Peak.

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

If managed well, the income created each year will be more than 100, 00 spirit stones!

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

Renting this Danxia Peak for 100, 00 spirit stones in ten years is definitely a huge profit!

However, the Ice Fortress didn't lose either.

They only have the power to collect rent, and this Danxia Peak is actually the common property of the seven sects.

It's just that they don't feel bad about selling their grandfather's fields!

Moreover, managing spiritual fields is quite hard and requires constant care.

And, you have to have a senior spiritual planter like Yuan Dongsheng.

If it were other loose cultivators who didn't eat grains, give him a field, and 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, there were many loose cultivators entrenched, and small forces like the Shenggong Sect and the Geng family intervened.

In the end, Luo Chen relied on his tongue and strength to win this territory.

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

Walking to a remote place.

A few narrow spiritual fields had already been planted with Qianxing Vines that could climb the mountain walls.

Luo Chen stopped.

"You did a good job, I hope you do better in the future!"

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

It seems that 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 level of Qi Refining, I will make the decision to let you take charge of this 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. "At that time, the Luo Tian Society will have other arrangements for him."

With this said, Yuan Dongsheng was relieved.

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

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 not be a disappointment to his grandmother's expectations.

Next, Luo Chen went to the Weapon Hall and the Battle Hall all the way, and even took time to look at the Biyou Valley small market that was beginning to take shape.

After finishing this circle, it was already very late.

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

Sitting down in the chair, Luo Chen sighed.

"Huiniang, you did a really good job!"

Even after years of tempering, her mentality had been honed to be extremely mature, but when she heard Luo Chen's heartfelt praise, Sima Huiniang still felt a bit sore in her nose.

Outsiders don't know why Luo Chen's praise came from.

Only Sima Huiniang knew it well.

This afternoon, Luo Chen was not just looking at flowers while riding a horse and asking about the development of each hall.

He was also judging their current attitude towards the Luo Tian Society through the few words he had with each cultivator he briefly contacted.

Comprehensively cutting the basic salary is undoubtedly a dangerous move.

Facts have proved that the decline of countless large enterprises started from these two points: opening source and reducing expenditure, and grasping internal personnel management.

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

He knew the reason but not the reason for these principles.

Therefore, when he decided to take this step, he was still uneasy.

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

However, the reality proved that he had to do this.

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

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

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

But after seeing it all the way, he found that there was no situation of "public resentment" inside.

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

And to make them accept it, it is definitely not because the policy is good, but because the person who implements the policy did a good enough job!

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

This woman, in terms of management and development, may be limited by her realm and knowledge, and has some shortcomings.

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

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

"The President is over-praising."

"I can achieve this level, all because of your prestige, President, so it can proceed smoothly."

"Prestige? Perhaps!"

Luo Chen smiled and shook his head.

Looking at the slightly tired woman, she must have suffered a lot of grievances and carried a lot of infamy in the process of implementing the merit policy!

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

The stingy one is always the President Sima Huiniang.

Sima Huiniang 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 a big stick and a sweet date."

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

"Whether it is good or bad, everyone has a book in their heart."

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

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

"And this opportunity, other small force leaders will not 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.

Haha!

That old man, I think he also judged his personality based on this!

After all, everyone can say nice things, but the reality depends on the actual situation.

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

This is the most powerful evidence!

"I am very relieved to leave 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, and Luo Chen doesn't want to waste a single day.

Taking a whole day out today is 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 alchemy and cultivation.

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

Suddenly, Luo Chen frowned, and his eyes fell not far ahead.

Three flying eagles were tumbling in the air.

Magic tools flickered, and the murderous intent was cold.

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

"Interesting!"

"A dignified true Foundation Establishment cultivator is 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 eyes were firmly focused on where the battle group was.

He always felt that the person being besieged looked familiar.

"Huh?"

"It's him!"

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

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

In his gaze, the scarred cultivator seemed to be forced into a desperate situation and roared violently.

"Juniors, you are bullying people too much!"

"Go to hell!"

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

The sword light was majestic, like a god's sword, 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 treasure!"

"Tsk tsk, it's a pity, this person seems to have just simply sacrificed and refined it. With just one sword, he drained all the spiritual power in his body and injured himself."

"But three Qi Refining cultivators dared to besiege a true Foundation Establishment cultivator, they are really not knowing whether to live or die."

Luo Chen saw the three people clearly.

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

They are even worse than Duan Feng and Qin Liangchen during the Dahefang period, and their strength is roughly equivalent to Zeng Wen.

People like this want to kill across realms, which is really not knowing whether to live or die.

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

Suddenly, behind him.

"Fellow Daoist Luo Chen, save me!"
