Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 277: Fairy City changes owner, life is approaching (please vote)

 The president goes into retreat and attacks the foundation!

 This news swept through Danxia Peak like the wind.

 Almost all Luotianhui monks, old and young, male and female, learned the news within a short period of time.

 For this female CEO, who is the head of a faction to other forces, and the head of a family to the Xiuxian family.

 Brother Luo Tianhui's feelings for her are very complicated.

She is extremely strict and prohibits any cheating or sneaky behavior. Once discovered, she will be severely punished.

She focuses on production and development, and even the war hall monks who are supposed to be used for fighting are sent to farm in their spare time.

 She was also very stingy and cut off a large portion of the generous salary set by the president.

I heard this isn’t the first time I’ve done this!

　　Back when she was in Dahefang, she cut her basic salary to the bottom in one fell swoop.

It can be said that no one in Luo Tianhui likes her.

 For her, most people are disgusted and afraid.

 But everyone can see that it is under her personal management.

 Everything in Luo Tianhui seemed to be in order.

 While developing rapidly, the weak are not left behind.

 For those who have made great contributions, they will be generously rewarded and promoted.

 Nowadays, the strength of Luo Tianhui is considered strong among the surrounding forces within a hundred miles.

 Even surpassed the Geng family, an established immortal cultivating family.

Even the Shengongmen, which is a little further away, is far inferior.

 There are monks who don’t like the president and attribute all these achievements to the wise president!

  But in the eyes of discerning people, Sima Huiniang’s contribution cannot be erased.

 Therefore, among the disgust and fear, there is always a touch of awe and admiration.

Now, she will attack the foundation.

 Some people hope that she will fail, fearing that she will become even worse when she reaches a higher level in the future.

 Some people hope that she will succeed, so that if she is good, Luo Tianhui will be better.

 One is prosperous and both are prosperous; one is deprived and both are deprived.

 Overall, the latter accounts for the majority.

 Because of these miscellaneous thoughts, without Sima Huiniang in charge, the sky above Danxia Peak seemed to be filled with countless impetuous air.

People's hearts are fluctuating!

Even the monks who usually farm have become slack in using magic to loosen the soil.

It is very similar to the fact that the superior leader went out to study, and the subordinates started to take advantage of the situation and become lazy.

 Some senior officials quickly noticed this sign.

  But given their position, it is difficult to say anything about this.

 Even Duan Feng, the hall master in the foundation building period, can only manage one-third of an acre of his Qi Hall.

 Other halls seemed somewhat powerless.

That does not work!

It was also at this time that some senior officials of the ninth level of Qi Refining who were secretly dissatisfied with Sima Huiniang realized what an important role she usually played in the Luo Tianhui.

 Some people who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and replace them found it even more helpless.

 They seem to be far less prestigious than that woman in Luotian Club.

I can only say that some people usually seem important, but after she is gone, you will find that she is even more important than you imagined!

However, the impetuous atmosphere within Luo Tianhui soon disappeared.

 Because, Luo Chen is here!

 …

 “Sister-in-law, how is your health?”

In the Luotian Hall, Luo Chen looked at Murong Qinglian who put down the merit book. He did not look at the book immediately, but asked with concern.

 More than a year has passed since the foundation construction failed.

Murong Qinglian seems to have moved on from that defeat.

 She smiled softly and said, "It's no longer serious."

“Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to you for treating me as soon as possible.”

Luo Chen shook his head, "I don't dare to take credit. Brother Qin usually takes good care of you."

 “He is such a thick old man, how can he take care of others!”

Murong Qinglian smiled and cursed.

 Happiness is just the smile, which is visible to the naked eye.

Over the past year, Qin Liangchen put aside his usual machismo style and devoted himself to taking care of Murong Qinglian, which was really impressive.

Outsiders are so surprised, let alone the Taoist monks who feel it the most.

“The book here is basically a summary of the merit policy before and after the change.”

 “A bit much!”

 “It might take you a while to finish reading it.”

Luo Chen smacked his lips and picked up a merit book with some unfamiliarity.

 Since he handed over the position of president to Sima Huiniang in Xieyue Valley, he has not looked through these things for a long time.

 At first glance, they seem densely packed and extremely trivial.

 But he endured his impatience and looked in carefully.

 This is what must be done!

If superb alchemy is the foundation of his existence, then Luo Tianhui is the foundation of his life.

 Without Luo Tianhui, the income from his alchemy would be greatly reduced.

 Even said that under the circumstances that have now developed.

Even if he doesn't refine the pill himself, Luo Tianhui can barely be self-sufficient.

 Like Mi Shuhua, Wang Haichao and others, they don’t have any special skills!

　　In the beginning, if I didn’t rely on gangs, my life would be extremely fulfilling.

Although the Luotian Club is not as large as the Poshan Gang and the Dajiang Gang, they are all elite soldiers and generals!

There are talents in all fields, including those who refine alchemy, cast tools, set up battle formations, plant crops, and even do business.

 There are many elites in the industry among them!

It can be said that Luo Tianhui is now a truly adult beast.

What Luo Chen has to do now is to pull the reins himself in the absence of Sima Huiniang, the beast master, to lead the beast in the original correct direction to prevent it from going astray.

　　While Luo Chen was looking at the merit book, Murong Qinglian had been sitting quietly aside.

 Occasionally when the other party has questions, she will answer them immediately.

 A year of recuperation does not mean that you should not care about worldly affairs.

Sima Wenjie and Qin Liangchen brought back copies of the documents for her.

Recently, I have returned to the Hall of Honors, and all kinds of affairs are still as close to home as possible.

With her help, Luo Chen soon had a preliminary understanding of Luo Tianhui's personnel situation.

 In terms of finance, he has always paid close attention to it.

Now as long as you have control over the personnel and follow up on various matters, you can be targeted and take your time.

 “The expansion of enrollment in the outer sect has been going on.”

“Deacon Xu takes charge and President Sima approves.”

“At present, the number of monks in the outer sect has reached hundreds, which is nearly half of the inner sect. Some senior people in the inner sect are worried that there will be a situation where the number of monks cannot be reduced, and it is recommended to keep the number down.”

 Murong Qinglian seemed very cautious when it came to matters related to the outer sect.

 After all, Luotianhui is not a sect system and lacks the cohesion brought by inheritance.

If the outer sect becomes so powerful that it threatens the inner sect, it will be a big joke.

However, Luo Chen is not too worried about this.

"As long as I am here at the inner gate and a small section of the foundation is built by them, the outer gate will not be able to overturn the waves."

“You don’t need to refer to the large sect system, but should look to the external forces of the Poshan Gang.”

“Most of these outer monks came here for the big tree of Luotianhui to provide shade, just like the thousands of casual monks who were affiliated with Poshan Gang in Dahefang.”

“In my opinion, suppression is not necessary. Instead, we can expand our recruitment in large numbers while ensuring our wealth is relatively clean!”

 When it comes to the Poshan Gang, Murong Qinglian will understand.

At that time, the core of the Poshan Gang were the mid- to late-stage monks at Jiudatangkou.

 For those monks in the early and middle stages, they basically work as cattle and horse servants.

 The treatment is almost nothing!

 Always drive ahead when encountering problems.

 Now that we have arrived at Tianlan Immortal City, this method can still be used.

After all, in the world of immortality cultivation, casual cultivation during the Qi refining period is the least valuable!

This crop disappears, and the next crop grows again.

Tianlan Immortal City is located on an important transportation road, and scattered cultivators from all directions gather every day.

Those casual cultivators who want to come to the Immortal City to seek opportunities, not everyone can rent a cave on Tianlan Peak or settle down on Danxia Peak like the Luo Tianhui monks.

 They need to practice and need a spiritual place.

Luo Tianhui gave them this opportunity, and they would naturally have to pay a price.

The more people we recruit, the easier it will be to support the high-level monks of the Luotian Society.

"certainly!"

“It is not advisable to blindly exploit and exploit people. They must be given appropriate promotion channels.”

“There must be a bridge between the outer gate and the inner gate so that they can see hope of getting ahead.”

 The specific promotion path was not available to Luo Chen for the time being.

 He needs to sort out everything first before he can make a clear target.

 And when it comes to cohesion!

Luo Chen held the book, stopped flipping through it, and fell into deep thought.

 After a while, he came back to his senses.

 “It’s time to carry out the inheritance!”

Murong Qinglian hesitated and said: "What do you mean?" "Including me, there are already four foundation-building cultivators in the Luotian Club. They are not as good as the big Jindan sect, but they are also comparable to those small and declining sects. If they can use the inheritance system to improve their cohesion, naturally we can too!"

Luo Chen talked eloquently and quickly made a decision in his heart.

"I have already accepted Qu Lingjun as my disciple, and it is only natural that I should accept another disciple to pass on my mantle."

“Duan Feng has been teaching apprentices. He can definitely pick a few talented ones among them and teach him the art of casting or the mantle of martial arts.”

"Min Longyu has always had the idea of ​​reviving the Min family. Now that the Min family no longer exists, his formation cultivation comes from the family, and he can pass it on in another way!"

“As for Wang Yuan, whether it’s just a show or a genuine disciple, I will go and have a chat.”

Hearing these words, Murong Qinglian felt waves in her heart.

This move seems ordinary.

 But she knows what it means better than anyone else.

 The old people of Luo Tianhui, no matter how much they trust this force or how cohesive they are.

 But in the final analysis, it is just used as a place to live and earn spiritual stones.

It's just a large-scale shop with better treatment and closer relationships.

 But if the inheritance system is really determined, it will be completely different.

 That means that Luo Tian will evolve from an ordinary casual cultivator gang to a sect system!

 The sect system is not inferior to, or even better than, the family system based on blood relations.

 If nothing else, just mention her Qin family!

 It has been more than ten years since my son Xiaohu became a member of the Luoyun Sect!

In the past ten years, despite the war, I have never returned home, not even once!

 Restore contact from behind, in the other party’s letters.

The couple also discovered that the other party’s letters frequently mentioned senior sisters, senior brothers, and senior uncles in the sect.

It feels like having a "new home" outside.

 The mature sect system can really give people the same feeling as a monk’s family.

 Even, it will make people have the thought of living or dying with the sect from the bottom of their hearts!

 Luo Chen’s inheritance system, if it is really implemented.

 The influence it will have will exceed the meritorious policies implemented by Sima Huiniang when she was in office.

 Swallowing, Murong Qinglian couldn't help but said: "The president is wise!"

 “Sister-in-law praises people so nicely!”

Luo Chen smiled and continued: "But how to pass it on, how to recruit disciples, and how to continue this system in the future are all careless things."

 “I’m just making the beginning of this matter, the specific details still need to be discussed.”

"Okay, I'll continue reading. Sister-in-law, if you are bored, you can go for a walk. I'll call you if you need anything."

Murong Qinglian shook her head and still sat patiently beside her.

 Luo Chen continued to look through the merit book.

 Time passes slowly.

 Suddenly, Luo Chen's eyes paused at the corner of the page.

 Looking at the page, he fell into deep thought for a long time.

Murong Qinglian noticed something was wrong and asked curiously:

"What's wrong?"

With her control over the Hall of Honors, the details were so precious that she quickly recalled the contents of that paragraph.

That is the Danxia Palace rented on Yuelu Street.

As the lease period was approaching, Gu Caiyi went to Binglan Palace many times in order to maintain the discount of 5,000 yuan per year in rent.

 Finally, the rent was spoken of for the year 5,021.

Up?

 No, Gu Caiyi has tried his best.

 The rent in Tianlan Fairy City is rising every year.

 They were able to only increase by this much after three years, which is really an advantage.

 In this process, Gu Caiyi has contributed a lot, so it is natural that he should record a meritorious service.

 However, Luo Chen’s focus is not here.

“Why is it that this time, the rent is not for three years? Instead, it is set for a short term of one year?”

Murong Qinglian replied matter-of-factly: "Of course it's because the Ice Castle's ten-year term in Tianlan Immortal City is approaching, and it involves handing over the next Golden Elixir Sect, so the lease can only be renewed once a year."

“This is already a standard practice in the fairy city.”

  She said it matter of course, but Luo Chen's expression rarely fluctuated.

The ten-year rotation period of Ice Castle is coming to an end!

 This is not good news!

 The backer of the Luotian Society is the Ice Castle.

If the person in charge of the Immortal City is replaced by another sect, the various businesses of the Luotian Society will inevitably be affected in various ways!

 “I never noticed this.”

“I’m used to the invisible protection of the ice castle, but I forgot to come to Tianlan Fairy City. Six years have passed!”

 “If you do the math, Fairy City is indeed going to change hands.”

Luo Chen’s eyes flickered and he closed the merit book.

"I'm going to Binglan Palace. Sister-in-law, Luo Tianhui, please help me and keep an eye on me."

Murong Qinglian nodded, this was her duty.

 No more than that.

After watching Luo Chen leave in a hurry, she realized something belatedly.

The expression on his face gradually became serious.

 …

 In Binglan Palace.

The person who received Luo Chen was the familiar Shi Lan.

 The other party told him bad news.

All the foundation-building cultivators in Ice Castle have not seen outsiders recently. It is said that they are handing over to the monks in Qingdan Valley.

“The rotating sect of Immortal City for the next ten years will be Qingdan Valley?”

"That's right!" Shi Lan said sweetly: "This is related to the holding of the auction. Whichever house takes turns next year, the two sects will jointly hold it."

 The last auction was for Ice Castle and Qingdan Valley.

 The next time, it will be the turn of Qingdan Valley and Luoyun Sect.

  In other words, the order of rotation is from Ice Castle, Qingdan Valley, and Luoyun Sect all the way to the back.

As for the further back, there are Ailao Mountain, Baihua Palace, Yanmeng, and finally back to the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.

 In this way, it is a cycle of seventy years.

 After receiving this news, Luo Chen's expression softened slightly.

He also knows two foundation-building cultivators from the people over at Qingdan Valley. It seems that the situation will continue to maintain?

However, Luo Chen, who is cautious, will naturally not place his hopes on Tao Yisheng and Xuanyunzi.

Those two, Xuanyunzi may be able to gain a small position in Qingdan Valley by virtue of his outstanding alchemy skills.

 But once Tao is promoted, it is definitely not a high position.

and!

If the people sent by Qingdan Valley to take turns in the fairy city are not those he is familiar with, his connections will be completely useless.

“Xiaolan, when your grandma is free, tell her that I want to have a chat with her.”

“If possible, it would be best to meet fellow Taoist Taoist Tantaihun!”

Shi Lan showed a sweet smile and said, "Okay!"

 Leave Binglan Palace and head towards the nearest Tianlan Peak.

When passing by Cave No. 6, Luo Chen paused for a while.

“Without Huiniang, I’m really not used to these busy days!”

 With a faint laugh at himself, Luo Chen returned home.

With the perfection of Earth Moon Technique and Wave Technique, he now has more time every day.

The Tongyou Pill has also reached the Great Perfection level. He only needs to practice the Tongyou Pill once a month, which is enough for him to use, and he has more time.

 Without taking the initiative to learn new spells, he still has plenty of time.

 In addition to refining Chalcedony Pill and Jade Dew Pill, I basically spend my free time reading various books.

 "Shanghu Danjie", "Tianpengbian", and several first-level elixir recipes previously collected.

 As a third-level alchemist's experience, "Shanghu Dan Jie" has been of great help to him.

 Over the past two or three years, I have been observing and practicing.

Combined with his advanced alchemy skills, Luo Chen now feels that those first-order elixir recipes are very simple.

Even if he doesn’t have to get started with the system, he feels that he can easily get started.

Even Wang Yuan's recipe for "Blood Evil Pill" has been completely explored by him.

If Wang Yuan can gather the main materials, he can try to refine it on the spot.

 It's a pity that Wang Yuan collected a lot of monks' blood essence and blood, and he could also buy it from the black market.

 But it happened that Huang Quan Yin evil spirits never came together.

 Otherwise, Luo Chen could personally refine a batch of Blood Evil Pills for Wang Yuan.

 After a night of practice.

Luo Chen rested briefly for an hour, then picked up a few books at dawn and prepared to go out.

However, as soon as he left the cave gate, he was stunned for a moment by the middle-aged man waiting outside in the morning breeze.

“You came to me so early, are you okay?”

The visitor is none other than Li Yingzhang, a monk from the Li family in Qinhuajiang.

 Building the foundation and seedlings, the future pillars of the Li family.

He said respectfully to Luo Chen: "My ancestor is nearing his death, and I would like to meet with him before he passes away."
