Chapter 352

Three days later.

Gu Caiyi, who was emitting a faint, delicate fragrance, woke up from her deep sleep.

Opening her eyes and looking at the dome studded with moonstones, she was a bit dazed and stunned.

But the next moment, she suddenly sat up and crossed her legs.

First, she looked inside herself.

In the meridians that had been ravaged and were now gradually smoothing out, it was already empty.

There was no longer that accumulated and solidified spiritual energy.

And the destination of this spiritual energy...

With a thought, the life-bound cultivation technique that hadn't been circulated for two years began to circulate without any unfamiliarity.

"Mm!"

Gu Caiyi let out a muffled groan as a clear stinging sensation came from the meridians in her body.

But beneath this pain, she was filled with joy!

"It really is healed!"

"The dantian is reshaped, gathering spiritual energy; I can cultivate again in the future!"

"Luo Chen didn't lie to me!"

Thinking of the experiences of these past few years.

She couldn't help but have her eye sockets fill with tears for a moment.

But thinking of the beautiful future, she wiped away the tears and revealed a brilliant smile.

"Bitterness always leads to sweetness; what am I crying for? He wouldn't want to see me cry either."

Amidst the murmurs of laughter, Gu Caiyi got off the bed and put on her outer garment.

In the living room.

Luo Chen naturally noticed Gu Caiyi waking up the first moment, but he didn't go to disturb her.

Giving the other party some time to let her recover her calm would be better.

Moreover, Luo Chen himself wasn't too accustomed to scenes of overly intense emotional impact.

Before long, the brand-new Gu Caiyi walked to his side.

She had changed into new clothes and combed her hair.

The hair that had previously been as dry as straw had regained its black and shiny luster after half a year of recuperation, hanging down to her waist like a waterfall.

Her thin, gaunt cheeks had also become rosy and fair, full of collagen.

She stood prettily in front of him, looking at Luo Chen with a smile.

Luo Chen smiled and shook his head, "Still as beautiful as before."

He reached out his hand, and the other party naturally sat down beside Luo Chen.

"For the next six months, you will recuperate your body, restore your state, and return your cultivation base to Qi Refining Great Perfection. Afterward, I will personally arrange for your Foundation Establishment."

"Mm."

"These six months aren't to say you'll do nothing. At the Luo Tian Society's Golden Hall, you and Yuan Xiaoyue should coordinate a bit and help her manage the affairs of the Golden Hall."

"Mm."

"It's not that I don't cherish you, it's just that we are currently in an eventful autumn; including myself, I am busy refining elixirs for the Ice Fortress every day, and everyone is contributing."

"Mm."

Looking at the well-behaved Gu Caiyi, Luo Chen smiled helplessly.

"Don't be like this; now that you're healed, why have you become a yes-man?"

Gu Caiyi, not avoiding Bai Meiling who was also reading in the living room, drilled directly into Luo Chen's arms.

Nudging her head, she said in a muffled voice:

"From now on, I'll listen to whatever you say."

"Really?"

"Really!"

"That's good, Hui Niang will be coming over in a while; don't act like a stranger, greet her."

Gu Caiyi raised her head from Luo Chen's arms, looking at the man with messy hair.

Luo Chen said helplessly: "Isn't she quite good to you? Why are you acting like enemies?"

"You really are a mood killer!"

Gu Caiyi punched Luo Chen's shoulder and left to go to Bai Meiling's side.

Together, they studied a comprehensive cookbook.

Over these years, Bai Meiling had been responsible for taking care of Luo Chen's daily life and meals, and she cooked very well.

But it was never systematic.

Some time ago, Sima Hui Niang had sent someone to deliver a comprehensive cookbook related to spirit cuisine.

If Bai Meiling mastered a few standard spirit meal preparation methods, that could be considered mastering a cultivation skill—Spirit Chef!

In the future, she could make more delicious and tasty food for Luo Chen that also had more spiritual energy.

Luo Chen looked at the two women, with Gu Caiyi occasionally raising her head to roll her eyes at him.

He smiled and shook his head.

"Women!"

Sima Hui Niang's arrival was in the evening.

She only came over after handling the affairs of the Luo Tian Society for the whole day.

She didn't have this habit usually, it was just that after Wang Yuan and the others went to the Jilei Mountain battlefield half a year ago, she came more frequently.

Not for anything else.

Just to pass on various intelligence from time to time.

Having learned the lesson from the previous lack of timely intelligence, which led to Luo Chen being completely unprepared in front of the Fairy of Heartlessness.

Now, the intelligence of the Luo Tian Society would be regularly reported to Luo Chen and Sima Hui Niang after being collected and processed.

Whether it was useful was one thing.

But knowing or not knowing was another.

Under the Xuyang tree.

A man and a woman stood side by side, watching the sunset in the distance.

"Xu Huanzhen's eagle-delivered letter arrived today; the Master Jueqing lineage is indeed not valued in the Ice Fortress, and the corresponding garrison area is also in the relatively dangerous outer region of the Seventh Mountain."

"Dantai Jin did not break his promise; what he arranged for our Luo Tian Society is a relatively safe mountain-guarding mission, not a patrol scout or enemy-killing mission."

"In the letter, Xu Huanzhen mentioned that the resources provided by the Luoyun Sect are very scarce. If they want to hold a position, they need corresponding array support. I plan to send Min Longyu to make a trip; I don't know what you think?"

Luo Chen frowned slightly.

As the core of the battlefield, the Jilei Nine Mountains, even if one couldn't say every inch of land was contested, could be seen as a wrestling match between the two great sects.

Does the Luoyun Sect not even satisfy the support for array resources for their allies?

"What about the other vassal forces?"

Sima Hui Niang shook her head, "They went in a hurry, and the arrays they could set up were mostly Tier 1 arrays. Moreover, the geographical situation of Jilei Mountain is extremely special; under the influence of various thunder mines and heavenly thunder strikes all year round, the effect of ordinary arrays is almost only one or two out of ten."

One or two out of ten?

Isn't that the same as having none!

Luo Chen understood Hui Niang's meaning.

Normal Foundation Establishment cultivators only know a little about arrays, staying at the level of being able to borrow array disks and array flags to set up arrays.

The arrays set up in this way are very rigid and inflexible.

They are generally called dead arrays.

Only array experts like Min Longyu, or array masters like the Supreme Elder of the Ghost God Valley back then, who adapt to local conditions and set up the most suitable arrays, can exert the greatest power.

That kind of array is called a living array.

Because the geographical situation of Jilei Mountain is special.

Even if everyone was prepared early, the array-setting tools they brought couldn't exert any effect.

Simply put, everyone is naked.

Whether attacking enemies or being attacked, everyone is clearly exposed under the enemy's blade.

Under these circumstances, if Min Longyu made a trip himself, he could play a big role.

Luo Chen thought for a moment and said: "Min Longyu can go, but not now?"

Sima Hui Niang was puzzled.

Luo Chen explained specifically for her: "The situation there is chaotic now, and it's easy to be ambushed coming and going; if Min Longyu goes alone, any slight mishap would be a huge loss for our Luo Tian Society."

"He should wait until the situation there clears up a bit, and then take advantage of the garrison rotation to go with others."

Sima Hui Niang recited these two words: "Garrison rotation?"

"Right, our Luo Tian Society cannot let Wang Yuan and the other two stay on the battlefield forever; every once in a while, changing a portion of Foundation Establishment cultivators to go is fairer for everyone."

Once he said this, Sima Hui Niang understood.

Luo Chen didn't say much more.

He already had plans in his heart; when necessary, perhaps he himself would have to make a trip.

Suddenly, Sima Hui Niang spoke.

"By the way, there is one thing I can't make a decision on, and I still need you to judge."

"Tell me."

Sima Hui Niang said uneasily: "According to the intelligence from the Luo Net and the Golden Hall, many people from the Zheng family of the Rolling Dragon Ridge have been drafted to the battlefield, and their Zheng family's elixir business has almost plummeted. You say, should we take the opportunity to..."

"Don't move!"

Luo Chen shook his head seriously, "Don't move for now!"

"It's not just the Zheng family's elixir business; any competitor that has a competitive relationship with the Luo Tian Society's business, the vacant markets left behind, don't touch them for this period of time."

He didn't explain too much.

But Sima Hui Niang knew his thoughts and vaguely understood what he was worried about.

Therefore, she nodded and said:

"I understand; for now, maintaining the existing scale is fine."

Luo Chen actually also knew why Sima Hui Niang had such an abrupt idea.

It wasn't out of greed.

It was because cultivators from many forces in the Tianlan Xiancheng had been drafted away by their respective masters.

As a result, there were fewer people!

With fewer people, the consumer market would naturally wither.

The Luo Tian Society wanting to maintain its current business scale was actually already a bit difficult.

Therefore, Sima Hui Niang had set her sights on the vacant markets left behind by those small forces.

But this kind of thing, in the short term, really shouldn't be touched.

Because you don't know if you will anger the great sects behind them.

"Actually, the best place to do business in the Jade Tripod Domain right now is not these immortal cities located at traffic hubs."

Luo Chen said pointedly.

Sima Hui Niang blinked, realizing what place the other party was referring to.

The Black Water Swamp battlefield!

The Jilei Nine Mountains battlefield!

And what business is more profitable than making war money?

However, if one wants to do this kind of business, I'm afraid it still needs long-term planning.

While she was silently pondering.

A crisp sound suddenly came from behind.

"Dinner is ready; President Sima, stay and eat together!"

Hui Niang turned around.

In front of the cave abode entrance, Gu Caiyi stood there naturally, her expression calm.

Luo Chen didn't speak, just curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

For dinner, the three of them ate without tasting the food.

Firstly, the little ghost chef Bai Meiling was just learning spirit meal recipes; the spiritual energy was retained very well, but the taste was not very good.

Secondly, the two women sat face to face, each swallowing elegantly, but not communicating much.

Luo Chen, who sat between them.

Was actually quite happy at first.

But after chatting a few sentences, the topic didn't heat up, and he felt a bit like sitting on pins and needles.

Not until after dinner, when Sima Hui Niang said goodbye and left, did Luo Chen breathe a sigh of relief.

Sure enough!

The blessings of having multiple wives are not something an ordinary person can enjoy.

That he could let the two women sit together harmoniously and eat a meal could already be considered his immense charm.

But to say they were chatting and laughing, that would be a bit of wishful thinking.

"However, it's always a good start!"

Looking at the back of the woman bending over to wash the dishes in the kitchen, Luo Chen revealed a smile.
