Chapter 429

A few days later.

A large flying boat landed on Danxia Peak at a leisurely pace.

This time, they went to congratulate the Ice Fortress Daoist Child on advancing to the Jin Dan stage and brought a large number of gifts.

And when they returned, they also brought back many special products of the Ice Fortress.

Looking at the many special products of the Ice Fortress moved off the flying boat, everyone knew that the relationship between the Luo Tian Society and the Ice Fortress had become even closer.

Other vassals of the Ice Fortress did not have this kind of treatment.

Giving gifts is just giving gifts; where would there be return gifts.

Because of this ostentatious move by Gu Caiyi, the forces near Tian Lan became more and more respectful and close to the Luo Tian Society.

In fact!

Even without this move, the situation of the Luo Tian Society in the one-acre-three-cents of Tian Lan Immortal City had already become very good.

In the main hall of Luo Tian.

A group of high-level officials were constantly reporting on the situation of the Luo Tian Society in recent years and the changes near Tian Lan.

"The vassal forces of the Yan Alliance have either surrendered to other sects or have been constantly cleared out; today, there is no longer any remnant of the Yan Alliance in Tian Lan Immortal City."

"Strangely, besides the Sword Pavilion, other sect industries of the Yu Ding Sword Sect have also left Tian Lan Immortal City, and even some vassal families are moving."

"Now, on the Tian Lan side, the main forces are concentrated within the former four-sect alliance, mostly vassals of various parties."

"The former site of the Yan Alliance, Fenxiang Valley, experienced a great battle and is almost desolate. However, two Jin Dan Shangren from other domains joined forces to establish a force called the Wind and Rain Villa. This force has not yet been recognized by the six sects of Yu Ding, but no one has gone to disturb it. This matter is also very strange."

"Our Luo Tian Society has received courtesy from several sects; not only have we rented all four first-grade spiritual lands around Danxia Peak, but we have also obtained the operating rights to the Thousand-Mile Bamboo Sea!"

"The Thousand-Mile Bamboo Sea has always been a disputed land; nominally it belonged to the former seven sects of Yu Ding, but initially it was the territory of the Qing Dan Valley. After many years of disputes, it has grown almost wildly, which instead benefited some loose cultivators."

"This time, the Luo Yun Sect came forward, united with other sects, and reached a consensus with the Qing Dan Valley."

"In the future, the Thousand-Mile Bamboo Sea will be operated by our Luo Tian Society, and the profits will be divided into three: one part to Tian Lan, one part to Qing Dan Valley, and finally one part for ourselves."

"It looks like a bit of a loss, but we have calculated that there is profit to be made! And we can provide a lot of work for the Qi Refining stage cultivators under our command."

"The original businesses are all proceeding in an orderly manner, and the momentum is good. Here are the account books, President, you can take a look."

"Elder Sun Sifang of the Transmission Hall passed away a year ago at the age of 275; she was a rare long-lived person among Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, which can be considered a happy funeral."

"Before passing away, she personally wrote a medical classic called the 'Fang Hua Classic'. This classic has already been included in the Transmission Hall, and some talented female cultivators in the society have been selected to start practicing it. This matter is being promoted by Su E, the eldest disciple of Elder Sun Sifang."

"Additionally, Elder Wang Yuan obtained a set of battle formation methods from the Yan Alliance, which can allow Qi Refining stage cultivators to form formations to fight the enemy. He passed this method to the Battle Hall..."

One by one, the high-level officials of the Luo Tian Society reported the recent situation of their respective departments.

Gradually.

Luo Chen also had a rough understanding of the situation of the Luo Tian Society in the past few years.

When they were almost done talking.

He rubbed his eyebrows and said with a weary expression: "Everyone has done a great job; in the days I was away, thanks to you for managing this home, you have worked hard."

As soon as these words came out, everyone did not take credit.

Instead, everyone said sincerely:

"This is what I should do!"

"The President has worked harder."

"President, you must take care of your health!"

When saying these words, everyone subconsciously looked at Luo Chen's tired expression and his gray-white, withered long hair.

The rumors were indeed true.

In that battle at Fenxiang Valley, the President suffered great injuries.

Otherwise, how could he, young and with a high cultivation realm, have gray hair so early?

And all of this was to wash away the shame of the Luo Tian Society being blocked at the mountain gate and beaten years ago, and to avenge the dead brothers of the Luo Tian Society.

A leader with such responsibility and backbone is truly rare.

Think back to how powerful the Lianyun Commercial Alliance was in Tian Lan Immortal City?

But under the siege of the Sword Sect's vassal forces, they handed over the second and third elders to take the blame.

Such behavior, although it did indeed preserve the Lianyun Commercial Alliance.

But when later generations discussed it, they were truly ashamed.

How is that like Luo Chen!

Not only did he coexist with the Luo Tian Society, but he even backhanded and attacked the enemy's mountain gate, burning the once-famous Jin Dan major sect to the ground!

Such a feat is truly gratifying, and at the same time, it makes people admire him immensely!

Facing the concerned and worried gazes of his subordinates, friends, and lovers.

Luo Chen felt warm in his heart, but also a bit helpless.

He was actually really fine now.

But since he had promised Cang Long, he had to do things completely.

Showing his weakness to the outside world can save the Luo Tian Society and the Ice Fortress a lot of trouble!

This reason sounds a bit ridiculous.

But it is a fact!

Previously in the Yu Ding Domain, it was widely rumored that his combat ability was extremely powerful, even directly surpassing many Jin Dan sect Daoist Children and upper-sect true disciples.

There were even busybodies who directly crowned him with the title of the number one person in Foundation Establishment in Yu Ding.

Empty names are sometimes stepping stones and protective umbrellas.

But sometimes, they are also things that harm people deeply.

Those major sect Daoist Children and upper-sect true disciples are all extremely arrogant; how could they tolerate being pressed on their heads by a loose cultivator?

If Luo Chen were to appear intact and full of energy now.

Then within three days!

There would inevitably be Foundation Establishment powerhouses coming to his door to challenge him.

That is no joke.

Although Luo Chen is not afraid of cultivators of the same realm, he is also afraid of trouble!

Fighting every day, and there is no benefit.

How can this life be lived, and how can this immortality be cultivated?

Therefore, he honestly showed his sick appearance.

For this, he also made some disguises on his face, and even the expression, tone, and footsteps he usually showed had to be slightly careful.

The only drawback.

Perhaps it is that he deceived his own people first!

But it's not a big deal; as long as he succeeds in forming a Jin Dan, these are not things.

And forming a Jin Dan requires considering the next cultivation.

Hao Ranzi had already returned from the Nascent Soul relic of Jie Lei Mountain two years ago, and his third-grade cave dwelling naturally had to be returned.

Moreover, Luo Chen did not intend to use a third-grade spiritual land for cultivation before the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment.

The hidden dangers are too great!

He didn't want to go through another heart tribulation or inner demon.

Therefore, considering cultivation matters, he had to play the same old tune.

Elixirs!

"I am extremely relieved that you are managing the affairs of the Luo Tian Society."

"For major decisions, Hui Niang can make the decision alone."

"Unless it involves decisions concerning the life and death of the Luo Tian Society, there is no need to report to me in the future."

Luo Chen said slowly.

Sima Hui Niang, sitting next to him, looked at everyone, and wherever her gaze passed, there was approval.

It can be seen that over the years, her ability has been completely recognized by everyone.

"Next, while I am recuperating, I will refine some elixirs. I will have to trouble everyone to help me collect the medicinal herbs needed."

"President, don't worry, the Elixir Hall has taken on this matter." It was Feng Xia who spoke; after Bian Zhen passed away, she had taken over the important department of the Elixir Hall.

Sima Hui Niang also echoed this matter.

After all, Luo Chen's affairs are always the most important things placed before all affairs of the Luo Tian Society!

Luo Chen was very satisfied and immediately gave a list to Sima Hui Niang.

This was something he had specifically listed on the way back.

The main medicinal herbs are not difficult to find.

They are the materials for three types of elixirs: Jade Dew Elixir, Blood-Increasing Elixir, and Dust-Descending Elixir.

Additionally, there is a large amount of materials including but not limited to Tong You Elixir.

The refining of top-grade Tong You Elixir cannot stop.

And the work of deducing the second-grade Tong You Elixir recipe requires various medicinal herbs for trial and error.

This matter also has to be handled by the Luo Tian Society.

It is conceivable that Luo Chen's days ahead might be very ordinary, but definitely not idle.

His gaze swept across everyone and finally landed on Qu Lingjun, who was at the ninth layer of Qi Refining.

Luo Chen's heart moved slightly.

He remembered the days in the Ice Prison, and the guidance from this "Senior Sister" Cang Long from time to time.

That was truly the demeanor of a kind and virtuous elder!

In contrast, his own guidance to his disciple Qu Lingjun had not fulfilled his obligations.

The other party's usual cultivation over the years had almost all been guided from time to time by Foundation Establishment cultivators like Li Yingzhang of the Luo Tian Society.

As for his confusion in alchemy, at first he discussed with the alchemists of the Elixir Hall, but later, as his alchemy technique completely surpassed the alchemists of the Elixir Hall, it became a solo exploration.

He, this master, was not very competent!

"Lingjun, from now on, come to my cave dwelling once every month."

"I want to see if your cultivation and alchemy technique have fallen behind."

Qu Lingjun, sitting next to Li Yingzhang, heard this, and his eyes lit up!

The temperature has dropped, everyone pay attention to adding autumn clothes, don't catch a cold.
