Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 175 Nan Wa is not here, and the old friend came to Luo Tian to change in the snow, and he became the supreme emperor.

The first time I stepped into the Zhenlong black market.

 It was during the time when the Golden Core Ruins were opened and the chaos in Dahefang escalated.

It was also at that time that Luo Chen took out the Burning Blood Pill, which also caught Tian Xingzi’s attention, laying a good foundation for subsequent cooperation.

 Hence, Luo Chen still has fresh memories of the black market auction.

 He vividly remembered that there were three Foundation Establishment monks present at the meeting.

 Leave aside Tian Xingzi, the owner of the black market, the behavior of the remaining two is very suspicious.

  Among the golden elixir ruins are the legacies of the Supreme Elder of Ghost God Valley, which are not only natural and earthly treasures, but also magic weapons, and even opportunities for elixir formation that are closely related to foundation-building monks.

 In this case, the two foundation builders did not try their luck at the ruins.

 Instead, he came to participate in the black market auction, and his motives were very suspicious.

At that time, Luo Chen didn't have much knowledge, and his contact with the foundation-building monks was only a brief glimpse at the Zhong Ding Family's Golden Elixir Banquet.

 So, I don’t quite recognize the two of them.

Later on, he participated in many black market auctions and met many foundation-building cultivators. He gradually became familiar with several foundation-building cultivators who were mainly active near Dahefang.

 Through some details and tone of voice.

He finally determined that the two foundation builders at the first black market auction were Duan Qiankun and Elder Zhou of the Lianyun Merchant Alliance.

 After all, the circle is only so big and there are only so many people.

Even if there is a disguise, Luo Chen is not a fool.

 It is natural to be able to distinguish clearly who is who.

 I remember that Duan Qiankun's main purpose in participating in the black market auction was for the eight-hundred-year-old root of heaven and earth.

 Because of this thing, he even verbally agreed to one of Elder Zhou's conditions.

Later, I chatted with Miao Wen and got a vague idea of ​​what happened that night when the Poshan Gang was destroyed.

 Five major foundations were built to besiege Mi Shuhua.

Even, the Lianyun Merchant Alliance was enshrined, and Jindan Master Lu Jiushi took action.

 Among them, Duan Qiankun was also involved.

He knew that Duan Qiankun and Mi Shuhua both rose up in Dahefang and had a close relationship with each other.

It seems that turning Duan Qiankun against him is the condition he agreed to.

These things used to feel like a blur.

 But as Luo Chen's realm rises, his network of contacts becomes wider and wider, and he can become extremely enlightened just by thinking about it.

 The deceased is gone.

 These things, no matter how much you think about them, are just to make your thoughts clearer.

 What Luo Chen cares about is the root of heaven and earth that Duan Qiankun photographed.

 The roots of heaven and earth!

 The magical thing in medicine has a miraculous effect on breaking through the realm!

 Three hundred years is the minor limit, and three thousand years is the major limit.

 For every three hundred years, the chance of a monk building a foundation can be increased by 10%.

 Eight hundred years of heaven and earth roots can already increase the chance of a Qi Refining monk establishing a foundation by a full 20%.

 It is only 10% less effective than the Foundation Building Pills on the market.

If you ask an alchemy master to make a mid-grade or even high-grade foundation-building pill, the chance can be increased to 40% or 50%!

 Furthermore, as a magical medicine to break the situation.

The advantages of Tiandigen don’t stop there.

 Generally, if one fails to break through the realm, it may backfire on one's body and cause damage to the meridians.

 In more serious cases, the Dantian was destroyed, the spiritual energy exploded, and he died on the spot.

But if you use the roots of heaven and earth to break through, even if the breakthrough fails, the mild medicinal power can ensure that the monk will not be seriously injured.

 This is the power of the magical medicine that breaks the realm.

Duan Qiankun spent so much money to take this photo, and it was definitely not for his own use.

 Duan Rui!

Even after failing twice, Duan Qiankun still did not give up on him.

　　The 800-year-old root of heaven and earth was clearly taken to help him build the foundation.

Judging from subsequent signs, Duan Qiankun frequently participated in black market auctions, not only to acquire resources for the family, but also to collect more auxiliary foundation-building resources.

Huanyang water, glazed ointment, soothing incense…

These things are more or less useful for foundation building.

 It is a substitute used by many casual cultivators when they are unable to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Although these, taken together, are not as good as a Foundation Establishment Pill.

 But, it is always better than nothing.

Since Duan Qiankun couldn't find the third Foundation Establishment Pill in a short period of time and his life span was running out, he had already planned to use the Heaven and Earth Root to give Duan Rui a last ditch effort.

 It is said that there are only three things that can happen!

Perhaps this time, if Duan Rui has the courage to risk his life, he has a high chance of succeeding.

And if he succeeds, the Duan family will build the foundation of one branch and two.

Duan Feng, how could it be possible to take revenge?

"can not say!"

“If I say it today, Duan Feng may dare to knock on the door tomorrow.”

 “He can definitely do such a reckless move.”

"But I can't watch him hit the stone with an egg."

Looking at Duan Feng taking a sip of wine, Luo Chen's wine gourd has bottomed out in a short period of time.

Luo Chen frowned and snatched the wine gourd that Grandpa Yuan Xiaoyue gave him.

 “Stop drinking. If you drink any more, my wine will be gone.”

 “So stingy? Didn’t you say that the wine steward is enough!”

 “Tch, you’ve finished your story!”

Duan Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He lay on the table and said in a low voice: "That's right, I have been mediocre in my life. The only good time was the time when my mother took care of me. At that time, I just thought that when I became successful, I would have to do something for She makes a magic weapon bracelet that is very beautiful and has strong defensive functions..."

Luo Chen looked at him helplessly.

 Stand up and open the door.

 The biting cold wind blew in.

At the same time, there was a woman who jumped away like a frightened deer.

 “You are not alone, you have friends like us.”

 Feng Xia outside the door glanced at Luo Chen gratefully.

Duan Feng has been feeling depressed recently, but also has an uncontrollable impatience.

Now Luo Chen can give him some comfort and persuasion, maybe he can...

 “There’s also Sister Xia!”

“Where can I find a woman as good as Sister Xia?”

 “You kid thinks about revenge every day, I don’t care about that.”

"You can accept the things that the Duan family brings to you, and you won't be regarded as a white-eyed wolf. After all, it's what you deserve."

"But Sister Xia treats you with all her heart. If you let her down, you will really be a white-eyed wolf."

 “If this really happens, I, Luo Chen, will be the first...”

Before Luo Chen could finish what he said, he was blocked by Feng Xia, who had a blushing face.

  She kept shaking her head silently, her eyes turning red.

 Duan Feng in the room was already silent, just lying there.

I don’t know if I fell asleep drunk or because I didn’t dare to face him, pretending to be an ostrich.

Luo Chen curled his lips, nodded to Feng Xia, and left in a hurry.

　　Feng Xia quietly entered the house and put the broken bones, dishes and chopsticks on the table into the kitchen.

 Sweep the crushed porcelain cup powder into the dustpan.

 Finally, he took a coat from the bedroom and put it on Duan Feng before leaving the house.

The moment she closed the door, she vaguely saw Duan Feng's shoulders shaking for a moment.

 …

A hundred miles south of Dahefang, in a hill covered in ice and snow.

 This mountain is called Xiaohuan Mountain.

 Looking from the outside, it is covered in silver and the trees are withered.

 Inside, the climate is warm and there is a constant flow of mortals coming and going.

In an attic in the mountains, an old man looked into the distance.

 Once lived here, you can see the magnificent scenery of Nanwa Snow Mountain.

Every time in the middle of winter, when heavy snow falls, the snow that has not melted for thousands of years in Nanwa Snow Mountain will spread.

The thick layer of snow spread out, like a huge tile, stretching out abruptly, covering most of the snow-capped mountains like clouds and sun.

If the light is good, the scene is really wonderful.

 Every time the old man saw this scene, it was as if he was seeing himself.

He is also like that huge snow tile, covering the entire family under his protection.

 It is a pity that Nanwa Snow Mountain was destroyed by Pang Renxiong, the master of Jindan.

 What was once a wonderful scene, now only a bare hilltop remains.

This scene seems to foreshadow the situation of the Duan family.

His Duan Qiankun, this giant tile covering the Duan family, will also melt silently.

 “Chief, I’m back.”

 A middle-aged man stood respectfully beside him.

Duan Qiankun didn’t even look back and asked directly: “How are things going?”

 “It goes well, but it doesn’t go well either.”

"Um?"

The middle-aged man lowered his head and said: "The elixir matter is not going well. Jintang Gu Caiyi said that there is a shortage of medicinal materials recently and the elixir production cannot be increased."

“In addition, before the Nangong family closed down, they purchased a large amount of chalcedony pills and emptied their entire inventory.”

“The chalcedony pills on the market now are all made and sold immediately.”

 After finishing speaking, he stood there respectfully, not daring to breathe.

 It seemed like there would be scolding coming in the next moment.

 However, this time, the patriarch did not criticize him harshly.

 Just a sigh.

 “Dan Chenzi!”

“I was always puzzled by Mi Shuhua’s refusal to form an alliance with me at the beginning. But now it seems that he is indeed very discerning and insightful.”

"If I can control this person, why should the Duan family be unhappy?"

 The middle-aged man was stunned.

 How can the patriarch be so good? He talked about the leader of Luo Tianhui.

But that alchemy master is really powerful.

 On his own, he supported the emerging force of Luo Tianhui.

 The elixir business is in full swing.

Now many casual cultivators in Dahefang are thinking of them, saying that it is lucky that Luo Tianhui is here, otherwise the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion would be moved and they would not even have a place to buy elixirs.

 Shaked his head and shook off these things.

 He took a deep breath and said, "He accepted the things he brought to Duan Feng!"

 This is the smooth side.

However, Duan Qiankun didn't feel any joy after hearing this.

He just asked lightly: "Have Duan Feng mentioned that he would come back to visit his mother's grave during the Qingming Festival?"

The middle-aged man hesitated and said, "It seems... I didn't say anything."

 “Okay, go down!”

 After he left, Duan Qiankun sighed sadly.

 Duan Feng is also his grandson!

However, unknowingly, he became far away from the family and even turned against him.

 He refused to forgive me.

 But have I done anything wrong?

 For the long-term plan of the family, everything he does is correct.

 The younger grandson Duan Rui is more talented, and the cultivation environment in the clan is very suitable for him.

Once water and fire fellow cultivators have established a foundation, even if their realm is low, they can still be considered as powerful in combat at the same level.

Even if he drives Hexi to the west, he can still be the pillar of the family.

It’s just a hard time for Duan Feng’s family.

 Same goes for Thirteen Niangs, why bother committing suicide?

The Nangong family is eager to establish itself, so she will definitely get preferential treatment if she marries there.

That Nangong Qin is also a dragon and a phoenix among people, a leader among Qi refining monks, and he has great potential in building the foundation!

He was appointed as the young patriarch of the Nangong family early on.

　　　It can’t be said that I have wronged the widow Thirteenth Niang.

 At that time, Duan Feng can rely on his weapon casting skills and hold a high position in the Duan family.

 He can also rely on his mother's relationship with Thirteenth Niang, and he can get along with the Nangong family like a fish in water.

With both sides having the same advantage, it will definitely not be difficult to get Duan Feng a foundation-building pill in the future.

 He Duan Qiankun asked himself that everything he did back then was done without any selfish motives.

Even according to his plan, if this continues, the Duan family will only become more and more prosperous.

 The grand scene of one door and two foundations is also very promising!

So, what went wrong?

 Duan Qiankun smiled bitterly, maybe he made the mistake of doting on Duan Rui too much!

 Since the detection of the water and fire spiritual roots, everything has gone astray.

 The tilt of resources, the attention of the entire family, all-round protection, and even getting everything you ask for.

 Although the state of cultivation is fast, it is unknowingly neglecting the cultivation of character.

“Ever since the fierce battle with the Bai family of Liuguangfang, the Duan family has been at peace for a long time.”

“The training of disciples within the clan is not as strict as that of the Nangong family and the Li family.”

 Among his peers, the foundation-building cultivators all praised Duan Qiankun for cultivating a genius who was a great perfectionist in qi refining, as well as Duan Feng’s grandson who was extremely talented in forging weapons.

 But how could he not envy the juniors like Nangong Qin and Li Ao who were responsible for their own affairs?

　　When I agreed to join Xuan Yihui, I also wanted to use this power to train the family's children.

  Unfortunately, the chaos came too quickly, the drastic changes were too great, and Xuan Yihui collapsed in a hurry.

Duan Rui failed to break through and build the foundation again, and he did not have the opportunity to be tempered in various conflicts.

“It was originally expected that after building the foundation, he would grow up.”

“But I got stuck at this seemingly easy level.”

 “Two Foundation Establishment Pills!”

After sighing, spiritual consciousness swept out.

 He quickly found the Duan family genius who wasted two Foundation Establishment Pills.

 Lying on a warm bed, hugging her from left to right, with her beautiful wife in her arms.

 It is really uncomfortable in this season when the sky is covered with heavy snow and the wind is biting.

“Don’t he know that if I pass away, how can the Duan family keep this spiritual place?”

Duan Qiankun's face flashed with a stern expression and he snorted coldly.

On the collapsed house not far away, a young man who looked somewhat similar to Duan Feng suddenly turned pale.

 He waved his hand immediately.

 “Go away, go away.”

 “I want to practice.”

 “Woman, you are really messing with my mind!”

 Pure spiritual power surged out and immediately knocked the two women away.

  turned into a gourd rolling on the ground and rolled out of the house in embarrassment.

After they left, the young man smiled mischievously.

Facing the empty room, he seemed to be talking to himself, and also seemed to be talking to the people who were watching him.

“Grandpa, my injury hasn’t healed yet, so I rested for two days.”

 “There’s really no slacking off.”

 No reply.

The young man curled his lips. He had already completed the Qi practice, so what else could he practice?

 It's not his fault that he can't break through the realm.

 It’s all the fault of the family being too weak.

If he had been sent to the sect back then, with his talent, he would have laid the foundation long ago!

 It’s hard to say, but now it’s the foundation-building true inheritance of a large sect, and it’s expected to reach the golden elixir path.

On Xiaohuan Mountain, Duan Qiankun no longer monitored him.

　Alone, stepping out of the family territory

It is snowing heavily today, and old friends came from the snow.

“Old friend, how is the progress of the thing I asked you to refine?”

“It will be completed soon, but now I have something to do, and I want to trouble fellow Taoist.”

"oh?"

 “Elven Pill!”

 …

 …

 Inside the Spirit Vein Cave.

Luo Chen withdrew the spirit gathering array and put away the Ziyun copper furnace.

  But he did not leave directly.

 Under the fragrance of moongrass, he fell into deep thought.

 It’s not because of Duan Feng’s matter.

 Once it was confirmed that Duan Feng had no intention of leaving Luo Tianhui, the matter was no longer of importance.

 He believed that this friend would make it clear to him whether he was going or staying.

 What he is thinking about now is how to arrange his time next.

 The entanglement of many trivial matters has begun to affect his practice.

Especially now that you can perform Changchun Gong five times a day, you must not give up and must squeeze out half an hour.

“In the past, my strength was low. If I have a slight chance, no matter what it is, as long as I can improve my strength, I will try my best to do it.”

"But now that I have a choice, I can no longer do this with a hammer and a stick."

“That way, the efficiency is really low.”

 While talking to himself, Luo Chen's thoughts turned faster and faster.

 Many complicated and trivial things appeared in his mind one by one.

 In order to get rid of the essentials and retain the essentials, he must choose the most important and urgent matters as the top priority.

 First of all, Luo Tianhui’s affairs must be left to the rest!

Those trivial matters are not too important. As long as you are smart enough, you can still do it even if your level is insufficient.

“In the Dan Hall, there are Granny Yuan and the famous Qin Liangchen on the top, and Qu Hancheng and Qiu Ying on the bottom.”

“The remaining three halls include Murong Qinglian in the Xuantang Hall, Sima Xian in the Zhan Hall, and Gu Caiyi and Zeng Wen in the Jin Hall.”

"In other words, the four halls have actually gone on the right track and become in order." "What I lack is an agent who can take charge of the overall situation on my behalf."

 Luo Chen’s thoughts started to flow and he began to choose among the many monks in Luo Tianhui.

Qin Liangchen can't do it, he always doesn't care about trivial matters.

Zhou Yuanli is suitable, but he is rigid in his behavior and does not know how to adapt. This was evident from the battle in Xieyue Valley.

 Perhaps he has the talent to lead in battle.

 But when it comes to running a power, he is really lacking in skills.

 Feng Xia?

 It is trustworthy, but the level is not good enough to convince the public.

And lately my heart has been focused on Duan Feng, which is not appropriate.

Have you ever asked?

Not very good at all. I can do well in life, but at critical moments, I can easily lose track.

 After much calculation, the most suitable person is my sister-in-law Murong Qinglian.

Sufficient realm, high prestige, trustworthy at critical moments, and can be tough or soft.

but!

She has been running the Xuantang for a long time. If she serves as Luo Chen's agent again, it will easily create the illusion of one mountain but two owners.

Even if Luo Chen was willing, Murong Qinglian would refuse.

 That is a very smart woman.

Thinking about it, Luo Chen couldn't help but think of a woman.

 Mi Junping!

 Although she has a bad personality and is harsh to others.

  But as a subordinate, he is undoubtedly very qualified.

 Not only was he able to manage the originally huge Poshan Gang in an orderly manner, it gave Mi Shuhua plenty of time to deal with other forces.

 She can control the flow of funds very well. Every time Luo Chen goes to her, he has to go to great lengths to get some benefits.

 “It’s a pity that the beauty is not here!”

Luo Chen sighed with emotion.

 To sum it up, he almost had a bad relationship with this woman.

woman?

 Suddenly, a face jumped into Luo Chen's mind.

 “Perhaps, she can?”

 After thinking for a while, Luo Chen nodded.

 “Let’s use it as a backup first!”

As long as this first thing is taken care of, Luo Chen can get rid of many trivial matters.

Then what’s left are two other things.

 Alchemy and spiritual practice.

 “Alchemy…”

Luo Chen pondered for a long time and quickly made a decision.

 Three types of elixirs still need to be refined, but the emphasis needs to be adjusted.

 The importance of Chalcedony Pill has declined slightly.

 Make way for Tongyou Pill and Burning Blood Pill.

 The former is related to one's own spiritual foundation, and you will never lose money no matter how much you invest in it.

 The Burning Blood Pill involves his cooperation with Tian Xingzi.

The other party frequently expresses goodwill, so naturally he cannot delay.

What’s more, cooperating with such forces with mysterious backgrounds will also be of great help to him in other aspects.

 The most important thing is that the opponent can get the Foundation Establishment Pill!

 This is particularly important when the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion is far away, the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect has no one, and the large-scale auction cannot be held.

“At the beginning of the month, I will first refine the Tongyou Pill that is enough for me to use for at least a month. Then I will complete the task of the Blood Burning Pill, and in the remaining time, I will go all out to refine the Chalcedony Pill.”

 The reason why the importance of Chalcedony Pill has been lowered is because of the current income from the elixir.

 It is enough to meet Luo Chen’s cultivation needs during his Qi refining period.

 Any more, it’s just making money!

He is not a miser. Instead of holding tens of thousands of spiritual stones in vain and unable to spend them, it is better to use every spiritual stone on the edge of the knife.

 The second thing is to make a decision.

 That is the last and most important matter of spiritual practice.

 Because of the proficiency panel, Luo Chen put a lot of effort into many spells.

 But in fact, some of them are not necessary.

 For example, Luo Chen once valued the second-level spell "Landslide"!

Ever since he acquired this spell, he once had high hopes, and even spent a lot of energy on the three prerequisite spells.

 Just because this spell has great power and extremely beautiful prospects.

Even if it is placed on the second level, it is still the top magic.

Let me ask, who wouldn’t be tempted?

 But after Luo Chen thought about it carefully recently, he found that he had done something completely wrong.

 Landslides are strong, that’s true.

 But it is extremely difficult to learn it. You must have achieved success in all three prerequisite spells.

 And this is just the beginning.

 An entry-level spell with many flaws.

 Cannot be used against the enemy at all.

Only those who are above the perfection level can have a place among the same level when facing magical weapons and magic weapons.

If you want to defeat the magic weapon and magic weapon, you need to reach the master level or even the Great Perfection.

“I shouldn’t have spent so much time studying landslides in the first place.”

“This technique should only be learned by foundation-building monks, but I’ve gone too far!”

 “Fortunately, it’s not too late to make amends.”

 Luo Chen planned to put aside the practice of landslide for the time being.

Not only the landslide, but also the healing, cleaning, entangling, wave, and earth-mountain techniques must be suspended for a period of time.

In terms of alchemy, Zhe Yushou has already reached the master level, but he is still far from Dzogchen, so he cannot be impatient.

Su Xin Shou is still a little short of reaching the master level, so there is no need to put in any effort, just be proficient in the alchemy process.

 Huanxi Shou and Huayun Shou have just been obtained, and it is enough to gradually become familiar with the alchemy process.

 In other words, in terms of alchemy, it does not actually take up extra time.

 As for martial arts, there is even less to say.

 It does not greatly improve the strength.

The only thing that helps is Tiannv Sanhua, but now I have only mastered the three techniques of Hunyuanzhu, Qiye Xing, and Iron Caltrops.

 So much so that Tiannu Sanhua is stuck at the perfect level.

If you want to advance to the master level, you need to master at least two hidden weapon techniques.

Luo Chen didn’t intend to waste his time.

 The reason for this decision is not that it is useless for the goddess to scatter flowers.

But on the premise that the traction technique has been perfected and he has the Great Perfection Spiritual Vision technique, he has reached an exquisite level in controlling the magic weapon.

The goddess scattering flowers is just the icing on the cake.

So, after putting aside so many magic practices, it is self-evident where Luo Chen’s focus will be.

 “It’s better to be equally good at everything than to be good at everything!”

“The Dzogchen Fireball Technique still has room for development.”

"I will combine the Fu family's talisman-making skills, the Dzogchen Spirit Eyes technique, and study the fireball technique with all my strength, and bring it to the pinnacle, where there is no further progress."

"In this way, the fusion of the Fierce Sun Technique will become my real trump card when I am at a low level!"

 After making this decision, Luo Chen couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past, the complicated and complicated spell cultivation, at this moment, was like pulling away the fog and returning to the right way.

 “Actually, isn’t this the path I took at the beginning?”

Luo Chen laughed at himself, didn't he initially put all his efforts into the fireball technique.

  Ignore the Cleansing and Entangling spells, and finally let the Fireball spell quickly increase your proficiency.

In this way, we created the ability to cross ranks and kill powerful enemies such as the poor Chen Xiao and the unlucky Gao Ting'e.

Later on, when my realm became higher, I went astray.

Now, the enemies he may face are no longer casual cultivators during the Qi Refining Period.

 But the big names in the foundation building period.

 In this case, why can’t we go back to the old path and specialize in one thing?

 After the spell is planned, it’s time to perform the exercises.

 Cultivation is not just about magic.

There is no doubt about Changchun Gong, three times a day, plus an additional five times provided by Anshenxiang, this must be adhered to.

Mingshen Breaking Evil, this strange skill does not belong to any category, so it must be taken into account.

  The second level of proficiency is only a few times away from full operation.

 Luo Chen will not give up.

He deeply remembered what he relied on to get out of trouble when Gao Tingyuan used the soul-stirring technique.

The will is stronger, allowing Luo Chen to face anything without changing his face even if the mountain collapses.

 Furthermore, Ming Shen’s destruction of evil spirits can also increase the soul.

 With the blessing of the Tongyou Pill and the Divine Deterrence Technique, it can be called a three-pronged approach.

This is why Luo Chen mentioned the importance of Tongyou Pill above the seemingly most profitable Chalcedony Pill and Blood Burning Pill.

 Duan Feng’s words still had an impact on him.

 The rest are just means, cultivation is the absolute!

The only thing that made it difficult for Luo Chen to choose was the alchemy technique of Falling Clouds and Generating Smoke.

If he can completely master this method, it will be a huge improvement to his alchemy attainments.

 At that time, water and fire will go hand in hand, and by analogy, the work of refining alchemy will undoubtedly be much easier.

 “Water and fire go hand in hand?”

 Suddenly, Luo Chen couldn't help but laugh.

 The lesson learned from the genius of the Duan family is right in front of us.

 He had never thought of the idea of ​​water and fire going hand in hand.

"Forget it, the water method is just for preparing the Emperor's Liquid. For the time being, I don't need the Emperor's Liquid. I will just use the elixir to pass the time when I am tired."

“In this case, you can stop practicing water alchemy.”

 After making many decisions, Luo Chen finally felt relaxed.

 It is not about reducing the burden, but improving efficiency.

 Every person will be tired after doing complicated work for a day.

 Concentrating on one task may make you numb, but the progress will undoubtedly be faster.

 After solving the optimization of fireball, won’t you have more time to deal with these things?

 …

 Early on the second day.

 In the Haoyue Hall, a beautiful figure sat quietly at the guest seat.

 It's just that her mood is by no means as calm as it seems now.

“Why did the president come to me for no reason?”

“I did pretty well in Jintang, I guess I didn’t make any mistakes.”

“The eldest brother acts steadily and has established a firm foothold in the war hall. Could it be that he is the younger brother?”

 The woman’s mood fluctuates.

 Suddenly, the sound of steady footsteps was heard in her ears, and she stood up immediately.

 Give a salute to those who come.

 “Hui Niang has met the president!”

Luo Chen waved his hand, indicating that she didn’t need to be polite.

Going to the top position and sitting down, Luo Chen had time to look at Sima Huiniang carefully.

 This female nun who had become acquainted with him a long time ago.

 Sima Huiniang felt a little uncomfortable under Luo Chen's scrutiny.

She couldn't help but said, "President, what do you want from me?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "It's nothing big. I've always wanted to chat with you, but I didn't have time. Now in winter, I'm not so busy, so I took the time."

 “Talk to me?” Sima Huiniang was surprised.

Without waiting for her to be curious, Luo Chen said casually: "I talked to your elder brother before, and he said that you three brothers and sisters were walking around and doing business of buying and selling. Has it always been you who is the leader?"

 “Well, that’s right.”

Sima Huiniang smoothed her hair and said, "The eldest brother is steady, but a bit dull and not good at socializing with others. My younger brother is too much like Meng Lang, so I make the decisions on many things."

 “Then why didn’t you continue doing this business?”

Sima Huiniang smiled bitterly, "It's not easy to do!"

 “Oh? Come and listen.”

 After Sima Huiniang’s explanation, Luo Chen realized the difficulty.

Although I have talked with Sima Xian before, men are often reluctant to show their difficulties to outsiders.

 Women are more sensitive.

 Perception that Luo Chen wanted to inquire about this, so he spoke very carefully.

Generally speaking, the closest market to Dahefang is Xuelianfang, but Dahefang’s business has always been closely related to Taishanfang.

 The reason is that the climate in Xuelianfang and Dahefang changes greatly. Two-thirds of the four seasons of the year are often icy cold.

 We often encounter road closures due to ice and snow, making trade routes difficult.

Although Taishanfang is far away, it is directly connected by the Lancang River.

 Taking a big boat and going down the river doesn't take too long.

 It can be reached in ten days and a half at most.

“Taishanfang is in great demand for Dahefang’s monster specialties.”

 “Often when we resell it once, we can get a lot of profit.”

“And some of the external objects for practice in Taishanfang are very popular in Dahefang…”

“However, every trip costs a lot of spiritual stones. We all take the Dajiang Gang’s boats. If we encounter monsters on the way, we must also help.”

 Luo Chen nodded.

 These days, the reason why there are many casual cultivators in Dahefang is that they don’t want to go there.

 In addition to the fact that Dahefang is adjacent to mountains and rich in resources, it is helpful for spiritual practice.

 There are also reasons why the journey to other places is too long.

The Lancang River is more than just a river.

There are many monsters living in it, including many second- and third-order ones.

When Pang Renxiong killed the demon cultivator Jindan, there were many corpses of first-order monsters at the bottom of the Lancang River.

The casual cultivators rushing behind will gain a lot if they dare to go down to the river.

“Actually, Liuguangfang’s business is the most profitable.”

“There was a mineral vein of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect in the early years, but after years of excavation, there is not much left.”

“During the three hundred years of mining, many forces were born nearby.”

“But after all the mineral veins were excavated, these forces lost a lot of income. Coupled with the lack of resources, fighting became quite popular.”

“Every time we transfer goods there, we can make a lot of money. After all, there is a shortage of resources there.”

“But there are too many calamities, so we gradually go less and less.”

 Luo Chen doesn’t know much about the situation in Liuguangfang.

Most of them were told through the autobiography of Gu Yue, a soul-refining Sanren, and Wang Yuan and others who had been to the outside world.

There are many robber cultivators over there, and they kill people and seize treasures at every turn.

 The reason why this is so is because it is the only city nearby that does not have a Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion stationed there.

 Jie Xiu such as Qiu Bai and Liu Han came from Liuguangfang.

 There are many such characters over there.

“The reason why we don’t continue to do this business is because there is more and more chaos outside.”

“Three of us, brother and sister, will be in trouble sooner or later if we travel outside for a long time.”

Sima Huiniang smiled bitterly and said, "To tell you the truth, the three of us almost died in the hands of two robbery cultivators in Dahefang last year."

Luo Chen remained silent.

Of course he knew about this, and in the end he took action himself to relieve them.

“After that battle, my eldest brother and I were both seriously injured.”

“After I recovered from my injuries, I felt that I couldn’t go on like this, so I thought about finding a force to rely on.”

Luo Chen chuckled, "Then why did you choose our Luo Tianhui?"

Sima Huiniang straightened her posture. She probably understood that this was the main event today.

If you don’t answer well enough, you may get a bad impression at least, or you may be marginalized or even kicked out of Luotian Club at worst.

She said seriously: "In Dahefang at that time, the Poshan Gang was destroyed, the Xuanyi Society collapsed, the major foundation-building families fought among themselves, and many small forces rose up, which was like a chaotic dance of demons."

“Actually, we have also considered joining the Dajiang Gang.”

“But the situation of the Dajiang Gang is extremely complicated. As far as we can see in Taishanfang, the Dajiang Gang not only cooperates with the Lianyun Merchant Alliance, but also fights or cooperates with several immortal cultivating families in Taishanfang.”

“If we join the Dajiang Gang, we may become outcasts in the gang war.”

Luo Chen nodded and continued to ask: "Then why don't you join a few local cultivating families?"

Sima Huiniang smiled bitterly and said, "Those families are basically composed of monks from their own clan. Unless the monks from outside are highly advanced and worshiped by the clan, they will not be reused at all."

 This is quite true.

 Most families who cultivate immortality are bound by blood relations.

  I never really rely on outside monks.

“As for the other small forces, to be honest, we don’t pay much attention to them. Their strength may not be as strong as the three of us brothers and sisters combined.”

“In this case, Luo Tianhui, who inherits the bloodline of the Poshan Gang, is the best choice.”

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, then please tell me carefully."

 Facing Luo Chen’s test, Sima Huiniang was not stage frightened.

She said calmly and generously: "It's very simple. You were in dire straits at that time and were short of manpower. If we join, there is a high probability that we will be reused. And this is indeed the case!"

 At present, the eldest brother Sima Xian is already the elder of the war hall.

 While Wang Yuan was not doing anything, Duan Feng still wanted to practice and lead people to make weapons.

Sima Xian can be called the de facto leader of the war hall.

The third brother, Sima Wenjie, is doing well.

 The impetuous personality has become more and more stable through the training of personnel management.

"Furthermore, the joining of the three of us from the ninth level of Qi Refining will not create a situation where Luo Tianhui will be deceived by the guests."

“At that time, Luo Tianhui already had six or seven ninth-level Qi refining members, so they were not afraid of the three of us.”

 “As for the last thing…”

Sima Huiniang smiled heartily and looked at Luo Chen.

“With the name of President Dan Chenzi, Luo Tianhui’s development prospects are bound to be greater than those of many small forces.”

"You analyze things clearly. No wonder your brothers and sisters are willing to listen to you."

Luo Chen laughed dumbly, but he didn't expect that the final reason why they joined Luo Tianhui was because of himself.

 As expected, the identity of an alchemist is the most popular no matter where it is placed.

Seeing Luo Chen's smile, Sima Huiniang couldn't help but feel relieved.

 It seems that I passed the test today.

However, Luo Chen's next words made her stunned.

"Since you are so optimistic about Luo Tianhui, do you have any ideas to go further?"
