Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 246 A distinguished guest is coming!

  Gross profit is just gross profit.

 Just because various costs have not been deducted.

 Raw materials?

This is actually not much. The raw material of Chalcedony Pill is only five spiritual stones.

 Even if it was affected by the war and it rose to six yuan, it would only be a drizzle.

 Including the losses he incurred in refining Jade Dew Pill, Tongyou Pill and other elixirs at a loss...the total cost is only 40,000 spiritual stones.

 In terms of rent, Danxia Palace rents 5,000 spiritual stones per year.

 There will be no price increase for the time being. He and Ice Castle are still in the honeymoon period and can continue to get this preferential price.

 The main cost expenditure is labor!

 After working hard to refine elixirs for a year, it can be said that the monks in the Alchemy Hall are almost exhausted.

 In this case, Luo Chen will definitely give out a lot of rewards in addition to the basic salary.

These two halls alone consume 60,000 spiritual stones a year.

 The war hall is responsible for protection and transportation, but there is no need to reward them. They just need to maintain their basic salary.

 That’s about 60,000 spiritual stones a year.

 Jintang is responsible for sales, which is the most important link besides refining!

 In addition to the basic salary, Luo Chen did not give any rewards, but gave commissions.

For every bottle of elixir sold, whether it was chalcedony elixir or Peiyuan Spiritual Liquid that was only roughly processed, he promised to give a commission of two spiritual stones.

 In view of the fact that the number of female nuns in Jintang is not large and their level is not high.

 After being given extremely high treatment, the expenditure cost was only 20,000 yuan.

“So calculated, the cost of an ordinary monk is about 140,000, and including the cost of materials and rent, it is only 180,000.”

“Those who consume a lot of money are the high-level monks.”

 For the senior members of Luo Tianhui, the salary offered by Luo Chen is far higher than that of ordinary lower-level members.

 Not to mention the existence of Sima Huiniang and Murong Qinglian.

Just like Zhou Yuanli, an old man like Liu Qiang only has three to four hundred spiritual stones a month.

Even so, if all the nine levels of Qi Refining are added together, it will cost 60,000 yuan a year!

You must know that this group of people is actually the smallest group of people.

 In addition, there are Wang Yuan and Duan Feng, who enjoy the treatment of 3,000 spiritual stones for a month.

 One person per year, at least 30,000 spiritual stones!

“After all these calculations, the annual expenditure is at least 300,000 spiritual stones!”

 After settling this account!

Even if Luo Chen had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be shocked.

 No wonder Wang Haichao was so stingy at the beginning and almost never gave fixed salaries to his monks.

No wonder Mi Shuhua is not willing to break the mountain to help the second foundation-building cultivator, who will have to consume at least 30,000 to 40,000 spiritual stones a year.

How could an ordinary foundation-building force support such a huge cost?

He, Luo Chen, is the only one who has this ability and courage!

If Wang Haichao were alive and saw Luo Chen being so generous, he would probably scold him for being short-minded.

However, Luo Chen sees things more clearly than anyone else.

 These expenditures are extremely necessary.

Those people received the rewards they deserved.

 Without their efforts, how would such a huge income come from.

 If nothing else is mentioned, Duan Feng gets 30,000 yuan a year. Is it a lot?

 Not much at all!

 First of all, he is a true cultivator of foundation building.

Secondly, Qitang’s annual output income is 80,000 to 90,000 spiritual stones.

That 400,000 yuan is not just the income of the Alchemy Hall.

 Finally, after Duan Feng brings out the people from Qitang, he will be able to produce and sell his own goods, which will also be a stable source of income.

As for Wang Yuan, is it too much to get 30,000 yuan a year?

 It seems like he has nothing to produce, right?

 However, along the way, Luo Tianhui will always have Wang Yuan to provide combat strength guarantee.

  In the battle of the Fu family, he was the one who broke through the indestructible fortress.

In the battle of Xiaohuan Mountain, he withstood Duan Qiankun's pressure head-on.

 At the Battle of Gaolingyuan, he jumped up the ranks and defeated Huo Hu.

 When he stayed at Danxia Peak, he even killed Cao Wanchun brazenly to establish his authority for Luo Tianhui.

 It can be said that he takes 30,000 spiritual stones for one year, which is too little.

If it were Chu Kui from Tianlan Fairy City, one move would start with 100,000 yuan!

 Not to mention the various pointers Wang Yuan gave Luo Chen along the way.

It is also true that Luo Chen offered Wang Yuan a high price for the foundation-building period a long time ago.

 As for the others?

In addition to their hard work, Luo Chen also suffered the hardships of low-level monks, so how could he not give them generous rewards?

What’s more!

"After one year, I have a surplus of 100,000 spiritual stones!"

 One hundred thousand!

 Net income, pure profit, belongs to Luo Chen alone!

 Which foundation-building casual cultivator can earn so many spiritual stones?

Even great monks like Chu Kui in the late stage of foundation building have to wait and see whether there is a chance to make hard-earned money.

Even if the sect builds its foundation, it will not be able to reach this level.

 This is a low-grade magic weapon for one year... No, you can even buy two or three!

 This is the value that an alchemist, an alchemist with his own power, can create!

It can even be said that this is not the case where Luo Chen has launched an all-out alchemy mode.

 What if it’s full strength?

If he doesn’t develop the Jade Dew Pill, refine the Netherworld Pill, or shorten his practice time a little, the value he can create will be even greater.

 It’s just that Luo Chen wouldn’t put the cart before the horse like this.

even!

He also wanted to wait until Luo Tianhui got on the right track to save more time for practice.

 What does it mean to be on the right track?

Hundreds of spiritual fields can all create profits!

 Chitang can produce and sell it by itself!

 In terms of Dantang, Qu Lingjun and Mi Li have grown up and can take charge of their own affairs.

Even Zhantang, Sima Huiniang and Sima Xian have recently joined forces and are planning to find some side jobs for them.

 Don’t say anything else.

Those spiritual field plantings will always require manpower!

There are dozens of powerful late-stage Qi-refining monks in the war hall. They have nothing to do. It would be a good idea to learn the two-handed spiritual planting technique and farm the land!

 Farming in your spare time, rolling up your sleeves and fighting in wartime, this is the healthy war hall operating model!

 Practice every day?

A group of monks in the Qi refining stage can do whatever they want, but they are afraid of overdoing it and damaging their brains.

  It can be said that Luo Chen’s plans for the future are very clear and very targeted.

 At that time, Luo Tianhui's income will no longer rely solely on the current elixir hall and cheap weapon halls.

 Thinking too far ahead.

 Take back your thoughts. Luo Chen began to calculate how to make the best use of this huge spiritual stone.

 Invest in yourself!

 One hundred thousand yuan, a low-grade magic weapon can be bought almost casually.

 Even if you add a little more, you can try to get a middle-grade magic weapon.

 But he would never do that!

 He already has two magic weapons.

And it’s both offensive and defensive.

 No matter how many magic weapons there are, no matter how high the grade is, he can't use them even if he is in the foundation-building stage.

 Improving your practice is the most important thing.

“Perhaps, we can consider changing to another cave.”

Luo Chen recalled the second-level high-grade caves in Tantaixi and Ling Yuzhi.

That is an existence with twice the concentration of spiritual energy compared to the Lower Grade Cave Mansion.

If he can practice in this environment, his cultivation speed will definitely be greatly improved!

 It’s just that there are no empty second-level high-grade caves, which leaves him with nowhere to spend his money.

 “Purchase other resources useful for spiritual practice?”

Luo Chen calmed down and planned to take some time to visit the major shops in the city.

 There must be a lot of good things in it that he doesn't know about.

 Existences such as Taibaijiu!

 You can also take a look around the Wanbao Tower.

I heard that a new flying boat has recently been launched, which can travel inland in the fairy city. It seems to be a simplified version of his Langqi flying boat.

As soon as Fu came on the market, it was sought after by monks.

With the research and development capabilities of Wanbao Tower, there will definitely be sales of auxiliary magic tools for the cultivation of foundation-building monks.

 “Boom!”

 A slight sound sounded.

Luo Chen woke up from his meditation and took a quick look.

Xu Xiaoliu had been standing for a long time and naturally, he touched the wall behind him.

 “President, I’m sorry...”

"fine!"

Luo Chen smiled. He knew that he had been thinking for too long.

Looking at the two of them, Luo Chen admired:

 “You’ve been doing a great job recently!”

Xu Xiaoliu scratched the back of his head and chuckled, "President, you have a better idea. As soon as that flyer came out, even though our Danxia Palace is so remote, some guests came to visit us."

 “Why didn’t we think of this before?”

Luo Chen pursed his lips and smiled.

 It’s just a flyer, nothing.

 It's just that the monk couldn't help but do it.

Xu Xiaoliu is not bad either. After he proposed the leaflet, he drew inferences from one example and proposed to engrave a road map on the back of the leaflet.

 In this way, even those who have no need for elixirs for the time being will still collect such leaflets.

 “Caiyi, you did a great job too!”

Facing Luo Chen’s admiring gaze, Gu Caiyi puffed up her tall chest.

She smiled and said, "These are just things that President Qi taught me in his early years. Caiyi doesn't dare to take credit."

Luo Chen shook his head, "I'm not just talking about the female cultivators."

“You are basically responsible for running this big store from scratch. I can see all the hard work involved.”

Gu Caiyi opened her mouth to say something modest.

 But when the words came to my mouth, I felt a little choked.

 Just as Luo Chen said, she has worked really hard this year.

 I used to be in Dahefang, although I also had experience in running a store.

 But at that time, the place was small and there were few people, so most of the people who greeted her were of a lower level than her.

 Even if he met a high-level monk, Zeng Wen would always be there to help him.

 Zeng asked now.

 It was her turn to be the leader of the Golden Hall alone.

She has to face all kinds of people, and she cannot afford to make any mistakes.

 It is true to what Luo Chen said, it is hard work and is not appreciated by outsiders!

I don’t know how many times I have woken up at night, worrying about how to do my best business tomorrow.

 Fortunately!

 All this effort is worth it.

 He saw it all.

This is not a false statement, but a sincere compliment!

“Everything Caiyi did is what she should do.” After all, she had learned through experience and was able to control her emotions and speak words that were not rude.

 Luo Chen showed a warm smile.

"There is no right or wrong. If you do well, you should be rewarded."

“I have recently researched something small, which is of great benefit to female nuns. You can try it after closing the store later.”

Gu Caiyi blinked his big eyes, showing a look of expectation.

 Let Luo Chen say something that is of great benefit to female cultivators.

 Think about it, it’s really effective.

“I feel relieved that you are watching over here at Danxia Palace. Over at Biyou Valley, regarding the training of maids, Caiyi, you can go over and give guidance when you are free...”

As he spoke, Luo Chen's voice gradually became fainter.

His gaze was slanted outside.

It was as if, through the doors and windows of the wooden building, I saw a figure standing outside the street for a long time.

 “A distinguished guest is coming!”
