Chapter 75: Are You Trying to Keep Me?
The night is deep, and everything is silent.
In the room that used to belong to Qin Liangchen's son, Qin Xiaohu, Luo Chen still hadn't fallen asleep.
His hands were behind his head, and his thoughts were rising and falling.
What he thought about was everything that happened tonight.
"Perhaps if I hadn't attended the banquet, this wouldn't have happened."
Luo Chen felt a trace of annoyance in his heart.
But soon, he dismissed this idea.
Mi Shuhua was obviously not acting on impulse; he definitely didn't think of this matter only after seeing Luo Chen.
He had inquired about him, understood many of his things, and even had a mid-grade Myriad Wonders Pill in his hand.
The promotion of the Myriad Wonders Pill to mid-grade had only happened in the past two months.
Because of the special nature of this elixir, after a cultivator gets it, the consumption will be very fast.
Mi Shuhua being able to specifically get one shows that he put his heart into it.
"Therefore, even if I hadn't attended the banquet today, he would definitely have come to me alone."
"On the contrary, because Qin Liangchen was on the side, he was still polite to me, and even put on the posture of an elder, giving me a good lecture."
After figuring this out, Luo Chen stopped regretting.
He began to ponder where he should go next.
Run away?
Running away is impossible; although he has a certain combat power, his realm is ultimately too low.
He doesn't know much about the situation outside.
In the year and a half since he crossed over, he has been struggling to survive in Dahefang, and the cost of changing to an unfamiliar place is too high.
And who knows if he changes to another place, will he be targeted by other forces if he frequently sells elixirs?
At that time, it would just be a repetition of the old story.
Staying in the Poshan Gang might not be as free as before.
But in this gang, there are many people he is familiar with, and most of them hold high positions.
Wang Yuan must be covering for him, Qin Liangchen and Murong Qinglian are also very caring, and there are some people he is familiar with, such as Zeng Wen.
"Sacrificing the freedom of a loose cultivator to become the Master of the Medicine Hall is not necessarily a bad thing."
In a situation where things cannot be changed, Luo Chen analyzed what his situation would be like if he became the Master of the Medicine Hall.
"First of all, the status
Regarding this point, Luo Chen was still quite confident.
In the world of immortal cultivation, there are four mainstream arts, as well as other professions, which can be described as a hundred flowers blooming.
Among those who master these skills, alchemists are the hardest to achieve success in, but as long as they have even a little bit of success, they become the most sought-after existence.
There is no other reason; elixirs are directly related to a cultivator's practice.
No one would offend an alchemist for no reason.
On this point, from large Nascent Soul sects down to small rogue cultivator factions, it is all the same.
Everyone tacitly makes friends with alchemists; even if they don't look at the present, they will still build a good connection for the future.
Luo Chen has been around for so long, and many people have shown him goodwill, which is not without the reason of his identity as an alchemist.
Even though he has encountered two battles, those two times were more of a disaster from out of the blue, not specifically targeted at him.
"Once my status is high enough, I have to consider the benefits!"
"And this point depends on how well I can talk to Mi Shuhua, and even the Poshan Gang, from here on out."
Luo Chen's mood was somewhat heavy.
It is imaginable that, faced with the huge profits brought by elixirs, the negotiations will likely be very difficult when the time comes.
But he must do it.
No one is willing to be a pure tool.
Even if he was a standard wage slave in his previous life, accustomed to being exploited by others.
But now that he has transmigrated, if he still works for free, what does that count as?
Working for others before transmigrating, and working for others after transmigrating, then wasn't my transmigration in vain?
"Finally, there are the extra benefits I can obtain through my identity as the Master of the Alchemy Hall."
Luo Chen immediately thought of his system.
That proficiency panel is where his hope for longevity lies.
If the Alchemy Hall is established, his great cause of alchemy will naturally not be as small-scale as before, where every bit of raw material had to be carefully calculated.
With the support of the entire gang, he will definitely expand his operations.
In this way, his alchemy proficiency will definitely soar!
"Mi Shuhua said that he has some books related to the Dao of alchemy in his hands, and even one or two elixir recipes."
"This is also one of the benefits I can reap."
Luo Chen's eyes flickered, and there was some excitement in his heart that was unknown to outsiders.
Whether it was Mi Shuhua or Qin Liangchen, they both only thought his talent for the Dao of alchemy was terrifying.
But one knows one's own affairs best.
Luo Chen's talent for the Dao of alchemy definitely cannot be considered outstanding.
He had communicated with Miss Xiangxiang of the Tianxiang Tower once or twice before, and those memories were really not good.
Faced with one or two questions occasionally raised by Miss Xiangxiang, he was completely unable to respond.
At that time, Xiangxiang was very puzzled; this was just the most basic alchemy common sense, so why did it seem like Luo Chen had never been exposed to it at all?
In fact, that was normal.
Luo Chen's alchemy was just following the gourd to draw a ladle, following the map to find the horse.
He had never been exposed to systematic alchemy training, and some common sense was completely unclear to him.
Even if he now knows many things related to alchemy, it is all through his own repeated failures and successes, groping his way along.
As for the supplementary knowledge that the system instilled in him after each proficiency increase, it was limited to the two elixirs themselves: Grain Bigu Powder and Zhongmiao Pill.
"If I can get the alchemy books treasured by Mi Shuhua, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it will definitely be a great improvement for me."
"In the long run, if there is a day when I can break free from the constraints of the Poshan Gang, then this harvest will be even more precious."
In short, going deep into the Poshan Gang and becoming the Master of the Alchemy Hall is not necessarily a bad thing for him.
At least, he will truly not be a lonely person in the future.
Perhaps there will be some friction and fighting within the gang, but those are internal matters.
Externally, he is one of the nine hall masters of the Poshan Gang, a cultivator who can openly reveal his identity as an alchemist!
Lying on the bed, Luo Chen tossed and turned.
Thinking about many things back and forth many times, clarifying the pros and cons.
Gradually, his mindset also improved, and he was not as anxious about gains and losses as before.
Strong adaptability has always been a merit that Luo Chen is quite proud of.
Whether it was the experience of being a miserable wage slave in his previous life, or the life of a penniless rogue cultivator after transmigrating.
He can always adapt quickly, then find joy in suffering, and finally believe in himself, always able to persist until the day he gains something.
"Now, it's just starting over again!"
Harboring beautiful hopes for the future, Luo Chen fell asleep peacefully.
The establishment of the Alchemy Hall is by no means something that can be decided overnight.
Luo Chen did not go to the Poshan Gang side these few days, but stayed in the courtyard, watching a few younger brothers repair the house for him.
And he himself, holding a few pieces of high-quality wood, started doing carpentry work.
"What on earth are you tinkering with?" Gu Caiyi sat on the swing, looking at Luo Chen busily.
Swish!
Luo Chen flicked his hand, and a chair with wheels spun under his palm.
Spinning chairs was his specialty when he was in school!
"A wheelchair, for disabled people to sit in."
Gu Caiyi was surprised, "You mean the kind of wheelchair that allows people with limited mobility to sit and move as fast as flying, or even fly in the sky?"
Luo Chen sat on it, without even using his hands to push; with a slight release of spiritual power, the wheelchair under his butt started to move.
Taking him around the courtyard, spinning back and forth.
"It's a pity that I know nothing about formations. Otherwise, if I added a few formations to it and used spirit stones to drive it, someone would definitely buy it if I took it out!"
Wheelchairs had naturally been invented in this world long ago.
It is said that the inventor was a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the time of the founding of Tianxian City.
After thousands of years, the wheelchair can be considered a representative magic treasure work of Tianxian City.
However, in Dahe Market, no one sells this thing yet.
The main reason is that the demand is not high; disabled cultivators are also cultivators, and they have their own means to move freely.
Dahe Market is too remote and too far from the Tianxian region, and most of the magic treasures sold by Wanbao Tower are those that are convenient for transport and carrying.
Therefore, it has resulted in many cultivators knowing the name "wheelchair" but never having seen the thing.
"Get down, let me play with it!"
Gu Caiyi jumped up.
Sitting on a stone stool, Luo Chen watched Gu Caiyi playing with the wheelchair with great delight, and his heart relaxed.
This gift of his is not expensive, but it can be considered full of sincerity.
When going to see old man Yuan, it will be easier to open his mouth.
"You seem to have been spending more time at home lately. Isn't it busy at Tianxiang Tower?"
Gu Caiyi, who was playing with the wheelchair in the courtyard, said carelessly: "I plan to quit that job!"
Luo Chen was startled, but soon felt it was a matter of course.
The personnel changes at Tianxiang Tower have already been determined.
The next person to take over is the Senior Brother Hua that Miss Xiangxiang mentioned, a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Hehuan Sect who is moody and likes to harvest yin to replenish yang.
Working under such a person, with Gu Caiyi's personality, she would suffer a big loss sooner or later.
It would be better to resign in advance before the other party arrives.
"Then what do you plan to do in the future?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll look around the city and try it out then."
Yuding Region was conquered by the Yuding Sword Sect in alliance with fifteen sects, with the five major sects as the main force, so the industries of the five major sects that were the main force at the beginning are spread throughout the region.
The geographical location of Dahe Market is very remote, but its scale is not small at all.
Even though the number of cultivators has soared to two or three thousand now, it does not seem crowded at all.
Coupled with the fact that this place is close to the million mountains of the Eastern Wilderness, it is undoubtedly the best bridgehead for both resource acquisition and continuing the opening war in the future.
Therefore, this place has the most complete industries of the six major sects, as well as shops of many small sects in Yuding Region.
Especially the six major sects, they will specifically send Foundation Establishment cultivators to sit in town, rather than like other small sect industries, which are only responsible for Qi Refining stage cultivators.
Ten years is a very sensitive point.
Every ten years, some sect cultivators will be replaced here one after another.
After all, no one is willing to stay in a market with a first-order spiritual vein to practice forever.
It's a rotation!
This time, in addition to the Tianxiang Tower of the Hehuan Sect, other places such as the Divine Talisman Pavilion of the Divine Talisman Sect and the Lingyuan Studio of the Five Elements Divine Sect all have small-scale personnel changes.
Under so many personnel changes, some positions will naturally become vacant.
Gu Caiyi looks good, and her cultivation is at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Having stayed in a place like Tianxiang Tower for many years, she naturally has some means for welcoming and sending off guests and interpersonal communication.
If she wants to find a new job, as long as the requirements are not excessive, it should be easy.
"Why are you asking this?"
"As good brothers, can't I care about you?"
"Tch, I thought you were going to keep me."
"Well, that's not impossible."
Suddenly, Gu Caiyi's wheelchair stopped, and she looked at Luo Chen with burning eyes.
