Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 237 Pressure from the top? I'll solve it! The medicine hall was reorganized and an outer door was established.

 Thick beams and columns, neat stone bricks.

 The brand new hall reveals minimalism.

 The new main hall of Luotianhui was named Luotian Main Hall.

There is no extravagance or waste. When it was first built, it was all about saving spiritual stones.

 Luo Chen doesn’t want anything resplendent or fairy-like.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but now everything is simple.

 When he arrived at the Luotian Hall, Sima Huiniang, Gu Caiyi, Duan Feng, and Qu Lingjun had been waiting for a long time.

 No nonsense, Luo Chen went straight to the topic.

 First of all, there is the chalcedony pill market issue that he is most concerned about.

“Caiyi, tell me!”

Gu Caiyi nodded and talked about the investigation situation this year.

 “First of all, it’s Huanyu!”

“At present, there are no less than ten shops in Tianlan Immortal City, which can supply Huanyu, the main material of Chalcedony Pill, in large quantities. This means that when we refine Chalcedony Pill, we will not be stuck in raw materials.”

“The problem is that due to the impact of the war, the price of Huan jade has increased, and we must pay attention to the cost.”

Hearing her introduction, Luo Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

 It can be seen that the other party has really put a lot of thought into this year.

She was only asked to investigate the market situation of Chalcedony Pill, but she didn’t expect that she even collected information on the raw materials of Chalcedony Pill.

“Secondly, there are competitors. There are fifteen kinds of cultivation elixirs suitable for low-level monks on the market in Tianlan Immortal City.”

"Among these fifteen kinds, the Qi Nourishing Pill from Lingyao Pavilion and the Huanglong Pill from Qingdan Valley are the first. The current prices are still high, with a bottle costing 120 and 110 spiritual stones respectively. Compared with before, , there is a premium, also affected by the war.”

“The other thirteen elixirs are from Baihua Palace, Luoyun Sect...and some immortal cultivating families.”

"The elixirs from the big sects are all good, the quality is guaranteed, and the price is generally around one hundred yuan. But the elixirs sold by the small forces have more or less problems, similar to the jade transformation of our chalcedony elixir in the early stages of the Dantian. So. , their prices, even if affected by the war, only hover around ninety. "

 “Moreover, the market share is not large!”

 Said so many words in one breath.

Even though Gu Caiyi is a ninth-level Qi Refining monk, he doesn't feel a little tired.

 It’s not that I’m physically tired, but that there’s too much information contained in it.

 She has to remember where each elixir comes from, what effect it has, and its price.

 When speaking out, you should make an evaluation based on the actual situation you have seen.

 Only in this way can Luo Chen clearly understand the market situation.

 Seeing Luo Chen nodded thoughtfully.

Gu Caiyi breathed a sigh of relief and added:

“Finally, in my opinion, Tianlan Immortal City is already very saturated in the market for low-level cultivation elixirs.”

 “We will encounter a lot of difficulties if we want to squeeze in.”

 Qu Lingjun asked curiously: "What are the difficulties?"

"Price competition, peer competition, and even..." Gu Caiyi pursed her lips and hesitated.

Luo Chen, who was above, said calmly: "Do you still have permission from the superior?"

Gu Caiyi nodded, "That's true. I've asked about it before. After selling the elixirs of three immortal cultivating families, they also paid an extra amount of spiritual stones to the large sects they were attached to."

 After saying that, she smiled bitterly.

"To tell you the truth, the batch of chalcedony pills that the president gave me could have been sold in a month or two before."

“But this time, I spent a lot of energy through the black market, retail sales, and retail markets. It took me a full year to sell out.”

Qu Lingjun, who has grown to the age of a young man, felt his head was as big as an ox after hearing these difficulties.

He thought that refining elixirs was difficult enough, but he didn't expect that selling elixirs would be even more difficult!

 After hearing this, Sima Huiniang could not help but frown.

 She knew how much the chalcedony pill the president took out was worth.

 About 50,000 spiritual stones.

 It's a lot, but if it's spread over a year's income, it's pitiful.

 If we continue to operate like this in the future, how can Luotianhui grow? What about development?

Let alone Luo Tianhui, even if it only supports the president's practice, I'm afraid it won't be able to do it.

 For a time, she, the CEO, was in trouble.

Unexpectedly, Luo Chen, who was at the head, was still calm and unhurried.

“There are many competitors, so it is not a problem. This shows that the market is very broad and is far from saturated.”

“Our Chalcedony Pill has a very low cost. Moreover, I have also improved the side effects of jade in the Dantian, and its efficacy is not inferior to ordinary Qi-nourishing Pills. In this case, we can completely rely on the price advantage to enter the market!”

 “As for pressure from above…”

 The four of them looked at Luo Chen curiously.

  Could it be that he can even solve this?

You must know that the upper-level forces in Tianlan Immortal City are all behemoths such as the Seven Jade Cauldron Sects and even the Yuanying Sect from outside the territory.

Even though Luo Chen has created miracles many times along the way.

 But at this level, is it possible to find a way?

Facing the curious, anxious and expectant looks of the three people, Luo Chen said softly: "I will handle the pressure from the top, you don't need to worry."

 It can really be solved!

 The four of them looked at each other in shock. They admired Luo Chen even more.

Luo Chen’s eyes fell on Qu Lingjun.

 “The Earth Fire Cave has been sorted out!”

Qu Lingjun nodded immediately, "Under Danxia Peak, there is a first-level earth fire vein. At the beginning, the Shengongmen and the Geng family opened twenty earth fire caves for rent."

“After we sorted it out, we opened up several small caves and formed the large alchemy room pattern that Master is familiar with.”

“Currently, only Qitang and I are using these twenty underground fire caves, and most of them are still vacant.”

 The Jade Cauldron Territory is rich in earth-fire veins, which is a well-known fact.

 As Luo Chen traveled along the way, he saw many earthly fire veins.

 At Dahefang, there is one at Wanbao Tower in the inner city, and there is one at Duan's house in Xiaohuanshan.

Over at Taishan Square, the Huo family in Chichan Mountain has one, and the Kang family in Taishan also has one.

 After arriving at Tianlan Immortal City, there were even more earthly fire veins.

Danxia Peak, Wutong Mountain, Shengongmen, Wanbao Tower... roughly estimated, there are more than two hands to count.

 Even if they are just low-level fire veins, they are not a big deal.

 But it does provide a solid foundation for industries such as alchemy and tool casting.

  Qu Lingjun’s arrangement is undoubtedly very reasonable.

  Separate the Earth Fire Cave needed for the Alchemy Hall and the Qi Hall.

The layout of the alchemy room that he was most familiar with was specially arranged for Luo Chen.

Once you invest in alchemy, these trivial matters will not cause any trouble.

  As for the apprentice he had accepted, Luo Chen was still extremely satisfied if he did not look at his cultivation level.

Especially the other party, who can now refining the low-grade chalcedony pill stably, and is exploring the middle-grade chalcedony pill based on the refining experience of the chalcedony pill he left behind.

 This is a great relief to Luo Chen!

“Now that everything is sorted out, let’s start preparing immediately to refine the chalcedony pill on a large scale!”

“Hui Niang, how many spiritual stones are there in Luo Tianhui’s account now?”

 The conversation changed and it fell on Sima Huiniang.

 Sima Huiniang knew all these treasures.

He immediately replied: "Originally, there were only 20,000 yuan left. Later, Hall Master Gu gradually added 50,000 yuan, making a total of 70,000 yuan."

“After the operation of Biyou Valley, Hall Master Duan Feng sold a lot of repaired magic weapons and added 30,000 spiritual stones.”

 “At one time it reached about 100,000!”

"However, this year, after personnel salaries, material purchases, and daily expenses, 50,000 yuan has been consumed. There is no way, the first time we arrive at Danxia Peak is the most expensive time."

“So, now there are only 50,000 yuan of working capital on the books.”

 Fifty thousand!

 For any casual cultivator, this is a huge number that is out of reach.

 However, for senior executives such as Sima Huiniang, Gu Caiyi and Duan Feng, who have dealt with large sums of money all year round, these figures are no longer surprising.

　　 even said.

 For today's Luo Tianhui, this amount of spiritual stones is still too little.

“Take out 10,000 yuan to purchase chalcedony elixir raw materials on a large scale.”

 Ten thousand spiritual stones are enough to purchase three or four months of chalcedony pill refining needs.

 Luo Chen did not withdraw all the spiritual stones on the books.

 He knows that for any power to operate, it needs sufficient liquidity.

Moreover, some of them are medium-grade spiritual stones.

 This is a strategic resource and should not be touched lightly!

 Like the Langqi flying boat.

 Under normal conditions, Luo Chen's spiritual power alone can drive it.

 But once the large-scale flying boat mode is launched, a large number of medium-grade spiritual stones must be driven continuously.

“In addition, I have a list here. Send someone as soon as possible to collect ten proportions, and then send them to the cave for me!”

 While Sima Huiniang was confused, a piece of paper fell lightly into her hand.

 Blue smoke jade, Lingting vanilla.

 Ten-year-old cold ginseng, angelica root, fleece multiflorum, motherwort, azure aloe...

Sima Huiniang’s eyelids twitched when she saw the densely packed names of medicinal materials.

 Especially inside, there were several medicinal materials that she was familiar with.

 It belongs to the kind of medicinal materials that are particularly beneficial to female cultivators. Even if they are taken raw, they have good effects.

Just scanning it once, Sima Huiniang couldn't help but feel curious.

 President, are you trying to refine some elixir that is useful for female cultivators?

 While she was curious, Luo Chen's voice rang in her ears.

 “Gather it together as soon as possible, but divide it among people and buy it separately.”

 “Remember!”

Sima Huiniang nodded heavily. She could feel that Luo Chen attached great importance to this list. She planned to handle this matter herself.

 That’s it for the arrangements for the Chalcedony Pill.

 What happens next depends on the specific operation.

 Luo Chen changed the topic and fell on Duan Feng.

Looking at the other party, the spiritual energy fluctuations were smooth and smooth, almost overflowing.

 He praised: "You haven't slacked off recently, and you have already achieved great perfection in refining your Qi."

Duan Feng pursed his lips and nodded silently.

He shouldn't have achieved the Great Perfection of Qi Refining so quickly, it would take at least several years.

 But the legacy left by Duan Qiankun is enough to push anyone at the ninth level of Qi Refining to the Great Perfection.

His own talent is not bad, and he has been close to the state of Dzogchen before.

Now, it’s just adding fuel to the fire and taking it to the next level.

 It’s just that he is so calm.

Sima Huiniang felt sad.

According to Luo Chen's promise, whoever among their group is the first to refine Qi to Perfection can purchase the Foundation Establishment Pill from Luo Chen at the original price at the auction.

 Among that group of people, they are the ones closest to Dzogchen.

 They are Sima Huiniang, Murong Qinglian, Duan Feng and Bian Zhen respectively.

Although she is busy with work, her treatment is the best among the four.

 Logically speaking, Dzogchen should be achieved first.

Unexpectedly, Duan Feng came from behind.

Then now…

 “When do you plan to build the foundation?”

 Duan Feng raised his head and said bluntly: "It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Now that it's perfect, why wait any longer. For these two days, I plan to use my savings to rent a second-level low-grade cave in Tianlan Peak to break through the realm."

Full of energy!

As expected of Duan Feng who was decisive in killing and killing in his memory, his goal was to kill and build foundations during the Qi refining period.

 Luo Chen nodded, "Do you need help?"

 Duan Feng shook his head.

"You have given me enough help. I have been studying the foundation-building experience for more than a year. I am very confident about foundation-building!"

 This is true.

Duan Feng's accumulation is pretty good, and Duan Qiankun's resources are specially prepared for him, which must be more suitable than Luo Chen's arrangements.

 Coupled with Luo Chen’s experience in building the foundation five times in the past, he has accumulated experience in building the foundation.

If he doesn’t even have this assurance and confidence, then it’s really better not to attack.

“By the way, I vaguely know what’s in those two silver balls.”

 Duan Feng said suddenly.

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, but saw that the other party was hesitant.

 “What’s wrong?”

"I'm just guessing. For the specific situation, I have to wait until I build the foundation and unlock the forbidden formation before I can get an accurate answer."

As he spoke, he entrusted a pamphlet to Luo Chen with spiritual power.

 Luo Chen opened the booklet.

 As far as the eye can see, the pupils can't help but shrink.

 Looked deeply at Duan Feng.

 “Okay, then I’ll wait until you finish building the foundation!”

Sima Huiniang next to her was listening to the two men's questions and answers.

 But the entire process did not seem to involve the Foundation Establishment Pill.

 This made her a little confused.

At some point, Luo Chen looked over with a smile.

“Don’t think about it, Duan Feng has other opportunities and won’t need the Foundation Establishment Pill for the time being.”

Sima Huiniang was stunned.

 Then I felt overjoyed.

Even though she tried her best to control it, the slightly raised corners of her mouth still revealed the joy in her heart.

Luo Chen smiled and didn't take it seriously.

At his current level, one or two Foundation Establishment Pills are actually nothing.

 As long as you have a heart!

As long as you dare to pay the price!

It's easier to get the Foundation Establishment Pill than casual cultivators.

 Next, Luo Chen and Sima Huiniang discussed some matters in the meeting.

 Involves contact with two neighboring forces not far away.

 One of them is the Geng family. They were enemies rather than friends before, but now that they have settled down, they still have to make friends as much as possible.

 After all, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors!

　　It is not beautiful if you have bad neighbors.

 Sima Huiniang’s intention was to invite the other party to settle in Biyou Valley and continue the previous business.

Having had some contact with me before, the other party didn't seem to be as insistent as expected.

 The benefits are so exciting!

Biyou Valley is not big, but for hundreds of years, scattered cultivators have lived in Danxia Peak, which has really created a bit of a business atmosphere.

 It is not impossible to operate it as a micro market.

In the past year, some of Gu Caiyi's elixirs and Duan Feng's magical weapons were sold through the Biyougu channel.

“If the business goes well, we can also hold small auctions in Biyou Valley in the future.”

“Whether it’s accumulating fame or earning spiritual stones, there’s always something to do.”

 Faced with Sima Huiniang's proposal, Luo Chen strongly agreed.

 Don’t talk about Luo Tianhui.

 At the beginning, the Poshan Gang even had its own private black market.

His Luo Chen’s Chalcedony Pill is still somewhat famous in the black market.

“Grandma Yuan has passed away, but the medicine hall must not be without its owner for a day.”

“I have three candidates here, Bian Zhen, who is highly cultivated, Feng Xia, who is very familiar with medicinal herbs, and Yuan Dongsheng, who is very knowledgeable about spiritual plants.”

“President, who do you prefer?”

Luo Chen thought for a while and said slowly:

“The medicine hall is very important and involves two major lifebloods of our Luo Tianhui.”

 Two major lifelines, Dantang and more than 400 spiritual fields.

 The former is not bad, Luo Chen is in charge of it personally.

 However, the value of the latter is not obvious now, but after years of operation, the income will definitely be very high.

It is even said that many small sects are self-sufficient by operating spiritual fields.

“Therefore, there must be people with advanced cultivation standing in charge.”

“Although Bian Zhen joined our Luo Tianhui later, his loyalty has been proven along the way.”

 “He can be the master of the medicine hall!”

Sima Huiniang hummed.

 Actually, she had the same idea.

 Bian Zhen’s strength is so strong that it would be a waste to let him be inferior to Zhou Yuanli.

“However, it is indeed easy for amateurs to lead experts, and things may go wrong.”

“Therefore, Feng Xia and Yuan Dongsheng’s tasks have to be aggravated.”

“Appoint two people as Elder Lingzhi and Elder Lingyao of the Medicine Hall, each in charge of one department. Bian Zhen will be in the middle and take charge of the overall situation, that’s it!”

 After hearing this arrangement, Sima Huiniang couldn't help but be convinced.

 “Greetings, President!”

 Luo Chen smiled, what kind of wisdom was this?

There are only so many talents in Luo Tianhui. Just think about it and arrange it into a carrot and a hole.

 However, there is also a problem arising from the treatment of Bian Zhen.

 After many wars, most of the surviving monks of Luo Tianhui are elites.

 Each of them has gained a lot and their realm has improved.

On the ninth level of Qi refining alone, there have been three more levels this year.

 For these people, they certainly cannot simply sit idle.

 “I heard that you opened an outer door?”

Sima Huiniang was startled, then nodded quickly.

"Imitating the big sect, I built an outer sect. But currently, there are only the external deacon Xu Xiaoliu and a few middle-stage Qi-refining monks running errands."

Luo Chen rubbed his chin.

He thought about it for a while and then said:

“Go and make a plan to see if you can recruit a group of people with no special talents but good abilities from within the association and assign them to the outer sect.”

"This group of people will be responsible for some trivial matters that are not involved in the lobby."

 “For both external and internal purposes, connecting all the halls.”

“There is an elder at the outer gate who will be dispatched by you.”

Sima Huiniang kept it in mind silently and planned to implement it later.

This small meeting is almost over.

Luo Chen stayed at Danxia Peak for one night, attended the funeral of Granny Yuan the next day, and took Duan Feng back to the fairy city.

 After returning home, Duan Feng went to rent a cave and planned to build a foundation.

But Luo Chen plunged into the prosperous fairy city.

 His figure began to appear in major shops.

Since the main direction of cultivation has been determined, a big purchase is inevitable!
