Chapter 74: A Tool with Dignity?
"I heard you are an alchemist?"
Heard?
Where did you hear it?
Luo Chen couldn't be called famous.
Even if the Myriad Wonders Pill business was doing okay, people who bought such elixirs wouldn't promote him with great fanfare.
How did he catch the eye of this Foundation Establishment big shot?
It's because of Wang Yuan!
Luo Chen understood in his heart, and a look of panic appeared on his face.
"Refined some inferior elixirs, small-time stuff, can't be called an alchemist."
I don't know when, Mi Shuhua already had a round, jelly-like bright red elixir in his hand.
"This is not a small-time inferior elixir, it's first-tier mid-grade!"
His voice carried undisguised admiration and appreciation.
"What! Mid-grade elixir!"
Qin Liangchen beside him was shocked on the spot, as if a mouse had been stepped on by a cat.
He had always thought that what Luo Chen refined were all unranked grain-Grain Bigu powders, and even if it was the Myriad Wonders Pill, it was just some erectile dysfunction pills that couldn't be brought to the table.
But now, a Foundation Establishment cultivator told him.
His little brother had actually refined mid-grade elixirs!
What is this concept?
Even if he had taken top-grade elixirs before, buying and eating is one thing, and refining is another!
That represents countless failures and excellent alchemy talent.
Especially since Luo Chen was only a mid-stage Qi Refining loose cultivator, without family support or sect help, he couldn't afford too many failures.
Then it was obvious.
The other party possessed alchemy talent that could be called terrifying or even monstrous!
"My little brother, you hid it so deep!" Qin Liangchen looked at Luo Chen gloomily, his gaze even carrying resentment.
He didn't know that Luo Chen was already sweating coldly on his back at this moment.
He was finally noticed by someone, right?
What would be waiting for him next?
Facing the young man who was taller than him even when he lowered his head, Mi Shuhua seemed to have thought of something.
He patted Luo Chen on the shoulder.
"Look up!"
"Although the realm is low, the backbone cannot be less!"
Luo Chen looked up as ordered, seeing the kind smile of an elder on the other party.
His heart tightened.
But on the surface, he showed a firm expression of pursing his lips and opening his eyes.
"Little Luo has been taught!"
Mi Shuhua smiled satisfactorily, then said: "Although the Poshan Gang has the Seven Tiger Halls, and Wang Yuan's Jiao Hall, everything is on the right track and flourishing. You say, what if we set up a Medicine Hall, how about it?"
Qin Liangchen hesitated, his gaze falling on Luo Chen.
"Luo Chen, you come to be the Master of this Medicine Hall!" Mi Shuhua said with a smile.
Luo Chen was flattered and waved his hands repeatedly, "Little Luo's realm is low, and his alchemy skills are poor, so I'm afraid I can't be a Hall Master."
"Young man, be more confident!"
Mi Shuhua turned around, with his hands behind his back, and stepped forward.
"I am very optimistic about you!"
"After the Medicine Hall is established, the other eight halls will also take care of it as much as possible."
"I also have some books related to alchemy, one or two elixir recipes, which I will also let you see."
"In addition, the Poshan Gang will purchase a shop in the inner city, where there will be a place for the elixirs produced by the Medicine Hall."
"Little Luo, don't let everyone down!"
"Hall Master Luo, you have to take care of us two in the future!"
"Sister-in-law is joking, little brother can't afford this title!"
"Hehe, you two chat, I'll go rest first."
Murong Qinglian put down a pot of wine and left gracefully.
Leaving two men sitting in the living room, one thoughtful, one bitter.
After a while, Qin Liangchen came back to his senses.
In front of Luo Chen, he cast a talisman.
"This is a sound-insulating talisman, which can block Qi Refining cultivators from eavesdropping. Although it cannot block the peeping of Foundation Establishment cultivators, it can also burn itself the moment it is touched."
Looking at that talisman, Luo Chen understood that Qin Liangchen probably had something to say to him from the bottom of his heart.
Mentioning speaking from the bottom of his heart, it might be a bit ridiculous.
He, Qin Liangchen, neither had a kindness relationship with Luo Chen like Wang Yuan, nor a stall-mate friendship like Old Man Chen.
But this scene was not at all incongruous.
It was just that the two felt like they met late and were birds of a feather.
Especially after fighting together for this period of time, the other party's temper and character were very much to each other's taste.
Therefore, after Qin Liangchen put on this posture, Luo Chen also became serious.
"Brother Qin, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
Qin Liangchen said "Mm," "I ask you, if the Medicine Hall is opened, do you really have the ability to support it?"
Luo Chen thought seriously, then nodded slowly.
Surprise flashed across Qin Liangchen's face; he didn't expect the other party to have such confidence!
"Then the problem comes, what are your needs?"
"First, it cannot affect my cultivation!" Luo Chen said with a straight face, and added: "Not only that, the Poshan Gang must fully support my cultivation!"
Qin Liangchen frowned, then said affirmatively: "This request is not excessive. The higher the cultivation, the better the elixirs refined. Mi Shuhua cannot refuse, and he has the ability to support you, a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator."
"Then, I must have a share of the profits from the elixirs!"
"This point is probably a bit difficult; your realm is too low, and you have no say."
"I can't be a pure tool!"
"Tool?"
"Working for free."
Qin Liangchen frowned and kept thinking, then said slowly: "This point needs to be fought for. My sister-in-law and I will definitely support you, and Wang Yuan will definitely support you. But Mi Shuhua and other Hall Masters will not let go."
"Then if I don't cooperate, they don't want to earn this spirit stone." Luo Chen said fiercely.
Qin Liangchen smiled, "You are only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, what if you don't cooperate? Aren't you afraid of death!"
"If there is no freedom, I would rather die!" Luo Chen said decisively.
"Really?"
Luo Chen's face collapsed, "Of course it's fake, if I can live, who wants to die!"
Qin Liangchen poured him a glass of wine, and he also picked up the glass and drank it.
Luo Chen also drank the wine with a bitter face.
He had always avoided being a tool, but he didn't expect that he would eventually come to this.
It can only be said that a loose cultivator alchemist is too eye-catching.
Before, Wang Yuan was covering for him, but now the one who wants to use him is more powerful than Wang Yuan, and is even Wang Yuan's immediate superior.
Suddenly, Qin Liangchen put down his glass.
"You should go find Old Man Yuan!"
"Who?"
"The old man with the broken leg who sells you yellow pear wine!"
Luo Chen's eyes lit up, "You mean Leap-Stream Tiger's old father, Yuan Xiaoyue's grandfather?"
"Mm, although his leg is broken and his son is dead, he has a say in the Poshan Gang. Dragon-Coiling Tiger was his apprentice before, and the new Master of the Mineral Hall was also Leap-Stream Tiger's subordinate before. In addition, I will also contact my sworn brother Ke Yulin there."
Mentioning Ke Yulin, Qin Liangchen paused.
Then he said affirmatively: "In this way, half of the eight halls plus me and another Elder will support you."
"Of course, these are all verbal, no one is willing to give up the benefits they might get. So, you still need to make some promises."
"For example?"
"After the realm is high, refine some elixirs that can increase cultivation for everyone. Or, cultivate one or two alchemists for them."
Speaking of this, he looked at Luo Chen, "You know how to teach people, right?"
Luo Chen chuckled, "Of course, if I can't teach them, then it's the other party who has no alchemy talent."
"You boy, you really aren't as pure and kind as you look on the surface."
Qin Liangchen scolded with a smile, then asked curiously: "Then what is your last requirement?"
Luo Chen took a deep breath and said bluntly.
"Life extension!"
"Any life-extension method, or life-extension elixir, heavenly material and earthly treasure!"
Qin Liangchen was stunned, looking at Luo Chen suspiciously, "You are only twenty-seven years old!"
"I'll be twenty-eight after the new year."
"But no one will take out things related to lifespan." Qin Liangchen sighed.
If there really was such a good thing, who would be willing to give it to others.
I'm afraid if it fell into Mi Shuhua's hands, he would be the first to use it himself.
"I have a five-spiritual-root aptitude, and I was congenitally deficient when I was young. A high person once said that my lifespan would not exceed eighty years. So, I must have life-extension things."
"But..."
"Brother Qin, actually, you can put this last requirement in front."
"Mm?"
Qin Liangchen was stunned, then seemed to realize something.
He pondered for a while and laughed out loud.
"Okay, just do as you say."
After determining the negotiation direction, the two had a bottom line in their hearts.
With side dishes and small wine, Qin Liangchen chatted about the more secret people and things in the Poshan Gang.
Speaking to the end, his tone was incomparably melancholy.
"Little Luo, do you know what I thought of when Old Man Mi said those things to you tonight?"
Which words?
Look up, realm is low, but you must have a backbone!
Man, be more confident!
I am very optimistic about you!
Don't let everyone down!
"At that time, I was thinking."
"At this moment, it's like that moment!" ===== CHAPTER 75 =====
