Chapter 345: Treatment plan, current development status of the Luotian Society

"Master, you're back!"

The formation had just been opened when a drifting, charming shadow flew over.

But when she reached Luo Chen's side, she suddenly stopped.

"Caiyi?"

"How did you become like this?"

Bai Meiling said in surprise.

Gu Caiyi smiled reluctantly, "It's nothing, just a small injury."

Bai Meiling wanted to say something more, but Luo Chen interrupted her.

"Is the room ready?"

Bai Meiling nodded quickly, "I received the sound-transmitting paper crane sent back by the President; the room has been cleaned."

Luo Chen said "Hmm" and carried Gu Caiyi inside.

When he put her down, she couldn't help but frown.

"If it hurts, it's okay to make a sound."

Gu Caiyi blinked with a smile and lay on the bed.

Luo Chen sighed, feeling heavy-hearted.

That medical sage was right.

At this moment, Gu Caiyi was indeed not suitable for external energy to enter her body.

When they were at Danxia Peak, protected by Min Longyu's formation, the pain hadn't been so obvious.

But after entering Tianlan Peak, the rich spiritual energy, even if not actively absorbed, still lingered around.

In this way, it was easy to cause fluctuations in the spiritual energy within her body, exacerbating the injury.

But sometimes, you definitely can't block it.

Luo Chen performed a healing spell, carefully combing through the meridians in her body, and only after Gu Caiyi fell asleep did he walk out.

Little Ling stood outside, looking expectantly.

"What's wrong? Have you not gotten used to living with Huiniang for a year?"

"No, I just missed Master very much."

Luo Chen smiled and rubbed her head.

Upon touching her, he was startled.

"Your body?"

"Hehe, Master noticed!"

Bai Meiling broke free from his hand and spun around a few times in the spacious cave dwelling.

"I have achieved some success in practicing the 'Ghost Mystery Record'!"

"According to the method above, with the wisp of Profound Yin energy I absorbed earlier as the core, my ghost body has now solidified by more than half!"

"Give me another ten years, and I can completely solidify my ghost body and step into the Ghost General realm!"

The little girl proudly shared her practice progress over the past year with Luo Chen.

Luo Chen smiled and beckoned.

She flew back to his side.

He rubbed her hair, which felt like flowing silk.

"You've worked very hard!"

A rare compliment!

Bai Meiling happily rubbed against Luo Chen's large hand.

In the past, Luo Chen was very strict with her; whether it was the "Soul Refining True Skill" or the "Ghost Mystery Record," he always complained that she practiced too slowly.

Now, after being separated for a year or so, she had finally achieved some success through hard practice.

After praising her a few more times, Luo Chen yawned and went back to his room to rest.

This sleep lasted through the night.

The next day, a refreshed Luo Chen woke up from his sleep.

Walking out to the living room, Luo Chen smiled as he watched Gu Caiyi, who was sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed out by Bai Meiling to watch the snow.

He didn't disturb them, and while eating the breakfast specially prepared by Little Ling, Luo Chen took out several prescriptions from his storage bag.

On them were all the medicines prescribed by that Sage Sun for Gu Caiyi.

Mainly for strengthening meridians, guiding energy, and promoting blood circulation to remove stasis.

From this, it could be seen that the other party was not living up to his reputation in vain and also knew the principle that blocking is not as good as guiding.

But Gu Caiyi's internal condition was too poor; trying to guide that massive, stagnant spiritual energy would only destroy her already precarious body even more severely.

And!

If it were all guided out, Gu Caiyi's decades of cultivation would also turn into flowing water and be washed away.

Luo Chen could not accept this.

Gu Caiyi might be able to accept it, but Luo Chen did not want her to accept this result.

Therefore, to truly cure Gu Caiyi, he still had to use the Rebirth Pill he had bought from the Qingdan Valley market.

Looking at these prescriptions, Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

"The Rebirth Pill is a third-tier pill, prepared for Jin Dan cultivators. Even if only three-tenths of its medicinal power remains, it still requires at least a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator to withstand it."

"Therefore, to make the pill effective without life-threatening danger, I must do the preliminary auxiliary work well."

Luo Chen reviewed what he had learned and finally decided on a new treatment plan.

He took one of the meridian-strengthening prescriptions left by Sage Sun.

This was the foundation for stabilizing the injury and preventing it from worsening.

In addition, he had to constantly perform the Great Perfection Healing Spell, using his pure wood spiritual energy, which had been purified by the "Ageless Evergreen Scripture," to slowly repair Gu Caiyi's meridians.

Finally, there was the spiritual liquid that Luo Chen had specially developed!

Using the improved Peiyuan pill recipe, fused with the top-grade Gold Quality Jade Liquid from the Kang family of Taishan Market, and supplemented with pure wood spiritual energy, it formed the spiritual liquid used for bathing.

Luo Chen named it "Gold-Jade Peiyuan Liquid," unique to his shop, with no other branch.

This medicine was quite extraordinary!

Even the many injuries Luo Chen had suffered when he opened up his meridians throughout his body could be repaired.

If applied to Gu Caiyi, the effect would only be better!

With the plan decided, Luo Chen was no longer panicked.

What was needed next was just time.

Regaining his senses, the two women were staring at him at the door.

Gu Caiyi blinked, "Are you cramming at the last minute? It seems you aren't that confident in curing me after all!"

Luo Chen smiled: "Then you underestimate me; I have already found a way. It's just that it will take a year."

Is there really a way?

Gu Caiyi was extremely surprised.

After a long while, she said softly: "I've waited for so many years; a mere year is nothing."

Yes, for a cultivator, a year really isn't much.

Three days later.

In the Luotian Hall.

Luo Chen sat in the high position, and Sima Huiniang sat in the side position.

Below them were the nine Hall Masters of the Luotian Society.

Transmission Hall Wang Yuan, Spirit Beast Hall Xu Huanzhen, Casting Hall Duan Feng, Merit Hall Murong Qinglian.

Combat Hall Sima Xian, Pill Hall Qu Lingjun, Spirit Medicine Hall Bian Zhen, Agriculture Hall Yuan Dongsheng, Gold Hall Yuan Xiaoyue.

Outer Sect Qin Liangchen.

There were also Foundation Establishment Elders Min Longyu and Li Yingzhang.

After Min Longyu reached Foundation Establishment, he only accepted an Elder title and did not hold an actual position in any hall.

But in reality, he was quite busy.

Whichever hall needed support related to formations, he would go to help.

As for Li Yingzhang, he was the head of the Li family of Qinhua River.

After many years, he finally practiced the "Nine-Fold Return to Origin" to perfection last year and naturally stepped into the Foundation Establishment stage.

According to the agreement between Luo Chen and Li Jinhuang before his death, once the other party reached Foundation Establishment, he would be a named Elder in the Luotian Society.

On such an occasion today, he was also invited.

It can be seen that over the years, he had integrated into the Luotian Society and was deeply trusted by everyone.

Luo Chen looked down at the people below, and a sense of pride surged in his heart.

After years of hard work, the Luotian Society he created had grown to such a massive scale.

Nine Luotian Halls, eight Foundation Establishment cultivators, and thousands of sect members.

The industries under his command were numerous, and each was thriving.

Outside, there were many partners, and even two major backers: the Ice Fortress and the Qingdan Valley.

It could be said that even if the Luotian Society could not yet compare to a first-rate force with Jin Dan cultivators, it could be counted as a leader among second-rate forces.

Once he reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

He would be able to challenge old-established forces in Lanxiancheng like the Iron Sword Hall and the Lianyun Chamber of Commerce.

Even now, these old-established forces had to treat the Luotian Society with courtesy!

"If Uncle Mi Buhua were alive and knew that the Luotian Society, which crawled out from the corpses of the Broken Mountain Gang, had reached such a scale, he would probably be dumbfounded!"

Luo Chen thought with no small amount of pride.

While he was lost in thought, the work reports of the Hall Masters were proceeding in an orderly manner.

Although the Luotian Society was divided into nine halls, there were definitely biases in their functions.

Most were focused on internal development, while the external ones were the Combat Hall, the Gold Hall, and the Outer Sect that served the nine halls.

Therefore, when reporting the situation, it was also from inside to outside.

The taming of spirit beasts in the Spirit Beast Hall, the farming of spirit beast groups, and how to solve the need for beast food.

What grade of magic tools the Casting Hall could produce, how many pieces per year, and how the sales were currently going.

The Pill Hall, which Luo Chen was most familiar with, also showed a thriving situation in Qu Lingjun's report.

This past year or so could be considered a period when the Luotian Society did not rely on Luo Chen to refine Jade Marrow Pills at all.

The days that should have been difficult were supported by the growth of four alchemists—Qu Lingjun, Mili, Ma Shoupu, and Qiu Ying—plus the addition of two senior alchemists, Qi Yi and Xu Jie, after the destruction of the Danyuan Sect. Through the efforts of these six, they managed to hold on.

The large-scale refining of various pills not only ensured production but also enriched the variety.

If it had been before, achieving this level would have been very difficult.

But the year Tao Yisheng spent in the Luotian Society truly filled the gaps in their theoretical knowledge.

With a large amount of practical operation, refining first-tier pills that were not difficult was no longer a problem.

Moreover, the Luotian Society was no longer relying on just one leg of pills to walk.

The Agriculture Hall, led by Yuan Dongsheng, was already realizing the value of the hundreds of spirit fields at Danxia Peak.

The Spirit Medicine Hall was cooperating deeply with the Li family of Qinhua River, and with the help of the other party's channels in the medicinal material market, they were gradually standing firm in Lanxiancheng.

One department after another reported.

Finally, it was the Gold Hall's turn.

Everyone's gaze fell on the woman who was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Yuan Xiaoyue!

The girl who used to set up a stall at Dahe Market, nearly twenty years later, already had quite a graceful bearing.

The Gold Hall was originally managed by Gu Caiyi.

But at that time, she wanted to sprint for Foundation Establishment, so she temporarily handed over the Gold Hall affairs to Yuan Xiaoyue.

Later, after her Foundation Establishment failed, the Gold Hall, as one of the most important departments of the Luotian Society, could not be without a leader for a day.

Therefore, Sima Huiniang promoted Yuan Xiaoyue to Deputy Hall Master.

Strictly speaking, Yuan Xiaoyue had been responsible for the Gold Hall affairs for this past year.

At this moment, standing in front of a group of Luotian high-level officials, even though Yuan Xiaoyue had been tempered for a long time and had learned seven or eight parts of Gu Caiyi's methods, she still felt pressure like a mountain and sea attacking her.

There was no way.

A pile of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, while others were either at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining or were long-term ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators.

"The cultivation base is still a bit low."

Luo Chen flicked his hand, and a gentle, friendly spiritual energy sprinkled over.

Yuan Xiaoyue's spirit lifted, and looking again, she felt as if there was no pressure at all.

She looked at Luo Chen gratefully, then adjusted her thoughts and began to speak eloquently.

"Our Luotian Society's Danxia Hall is no longer limited to Lanxiancheng."

"Biyou Valley, Tianyi Workshop, Luosha Workshop—these markets all have branches."

"After the destruction of the Shen Gong Sect, Lanxiancheng was no longer rented out to rogue cultivator forces as a whole, but was developed into a rogue cultivator market outside the city. Our Danxia Hall also rented a shop there."

"Currently, the main resources sold by the Danxia Hall are still mainly the output of the Luotian Society. Pills, magic tools, medicinal materials, spirit fruits, spirit rice..."

"The resources sold on behalf of others include the body-refining spirit medicine from the Kang family of Taishan Market and the spirit fish and medicinal materials from Elder Li's family. In addition, there are three rogue cultivator Foundation Establishment seniors who entrusted us to help them sell the talismans and spirit medicines they made. The specific profit sharing..."

"Furthermore, there are some Foundation Establishment rogue cultivators who want to cooperate, regularly giving us a batch of resources for us to sell on their behalf."

"Senior Kang Xianqiong mentioned before that the Huo family at Taishan Market was destroyed, leaving a market vacant. She asked us if we wanted to open a Danxia branch there, and she would give great support and discounts."

"But the journey is long, and there is also the unstable Liuguang Workshop in between, so I am still hesitating, and today I am stating it to ask the President to make a decision!"

Many contents were stated one by one from Yuan Xiaoyue's mouth.

After finishing, she looked at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen smiled slightly and did not answer immediately, but looked at Sima Huiniang.

"President Sima, what do you think about this matter?"

Sima Huiniang seemed to have had a plan in mind for a long time and said unhurriedly: "Regarding the cooperation with rogue cultivators, as long as the origin is clean, our Luotian Society can accept it. Not only to earn spirit stones but also to maintain a good relationship with these rogue cultivator Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"More friends, more paths!"

"As for opening a branch at Taishan Market, it still needs to be considered in the long run."

"Strictly speaking, the Bai family of Liuguang Workshop also has a grudge against us. Back at the Battle of Gaoling Plain, they were also allies recruited by Huo Hu. Although they didn't take direct action against us, they held back the Nangong family. And!"

Speaking of this, she looked at Duan Feng.

"The Bai family also has a blood feud with Hall Master Duan, right!"

Duan Feng nodded, "That is indeed the case. However, as for how to specifically do it, the President and the President can decide; Duan will not put personal matters before public duty."

Put personal matters before public duty?

Sima Huiniang shook her head, "Now, both publicly and privately, the Bai family is blocking the path of our Luotian Society. In their family, there is only one Foundation Establishment cultivator, and they have no major backers, so destroying the other party is as easy as turning over one's hand!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Duan Feng's eyes lit up.

Others, however, felt a chill in their hearts.

The President has not only become more majestic internally over the years, but she has also become more decisive in killing externally!

"The specific plan still needs to be discussed carefully to determine the details, but the general direction has been set. In the short term, one year, in the long term, three years, we must open up the trade route to Taishan Market!"

"Opening a branch there is not just to earn spirit stones, but also involves the incredibly rich monster and medicinal material resources of the Million Great Mountains, as well as mineral resources!"

Luo Chen sat in the high position, listening to Sima Huiniang's words in his ears.

The other party clearly considered things extremely meticulously, from personal grudges to righteousness, from spirit stone grabbing to trade route development, and the longer-term development of the Luotian Society.

She considered every aspect.

And these were just the decisions regarding the Gold Hall affairs.

Before this, for every department, she could give her own insights and decisions in a targeted manner.

Being able to achieve such a state of having a plan in mind and being clear and organized was definitely not a feat of one morning or one evening.

After listening to the entire meeting, Luo Chen had to sigh.

He had really found a treasure!

In the past, he had thought that if Mi Junping were alive, managing the Luotian Society might be very suitable.

But compared to Sima Huiniang, the other party was really not worth mentioning.

With so many big and small affairs, if Luo Chen had to manage them personally, he would probably worry until his hair turned white.

Not to mention practice time.

It was precisely because of Sima Huiniang's help that he didn't have to consider so many things and could go to the Qingdan Valley to participate in the Dao Seed struggle without any worries.

"President, what do you think?"

At the end, Sima Huiniang looked at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen clapped his hands and sighed, "You are the President, so you should make the decision. Everything is handled very well; I have no opinion."

Sima Huiniang nodded and let the disciple Yao Mingyue beside her record all the contents of this meeting.

After the meeting, the high-level officials dispersed one after another.

Including Yao Mingyue, who also left the Luotian Hall at Sima Huiniang's signal.

At this moment, there was no one in the hall.

Sima Huiniang stood up and walked gracefully to Luo Chen's side to sit down.

"Let's count it; the harvest of two years is all here."

Luo Chen wrapped one arm around her soft waist, and the other hand took the storage bag.

Inside, it was bulging and full of spirit stones.

Luo Chen was dazed for a moment.

At this moment, power, beauty, and wealth seemed to be all in his arms.

The statistics for the Nine Halls of Luo Tian in the previous text were incorrect; I just wrote them out and discovered there are a total of ten departments.

I am adding a small patch here: the Outer Sect is not counted among the Nine Halls, but serves them exclusively.

Hmm, the Outer Sect is just a brick—moved wherever it is needed.

While I'm at it, I'll ask for some monthly votes; thank you all for your tolerance.
