Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 332: Couple in Mohe Garden, the future of Caijudan

 Taking the box from Tao Yisheng, Luo Chen immediately opened it and took a look.

 Ten middle-grade pieces, three top-grade pieces, and even a top-quality chrysanthemum pill with six and a half cloud patterns!

 Luo Chen was extremely surprised.

 “It’s so complete?”

Tao Yisheng sat down opposite him and poured tea as if it were cooked.

He rubbed his brows and said: "It was left behind by my Tao family's Nanshan ancestor. After all, he personally developed this elixir, and it was once pushed to the top level. Unfortunately, limited by the raw materials, the potency of the medicine has never been as high as that of our sect. The Dragon Pill of the Gate.”

“I couldn’t find it in the family treasury. My sister went to the clan leader to find it.”

Luo Chen carefully looked at the pill in his hand while listening to his introduction.

 The eyes are extremely focused.

This thing is related to his future cultivation progress.

 The medicine is not as powerful as the Shenglong Pill, he had already expected it.

Now, he just wants to know whether the higher-grade Caiju Pill is more powerful than the ordinary Shenglong Pill.

“The old guy asked for a lot, but he just gave me a few pills and conditions.”

“What’s so annoying is that my sister actually agreed to that so-called marriage...”

"Um?"

Luo Chen raised his head and looked at Tao Yisheng in shock.

“Just for these few pills? Marriage?”

 Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Tao Yisheng waved his hand quickly.

"It actually has nothing to do with it. It's just that Tao Daonan found an excuse. What I didn't expect was that my sister actually agreed."

 Luo Chen frowned slightly and stared at him, waiting for the next words.

Tao Yisheng sighed and leaned back on the chair a little dejectedly.

“The marriage partner is Fu Li from the Fu family.”

“After the Taoist dispute, if my sister wins the Taoist position, this marriage proposal will be invalidated, and the daughter of the Fu family will become a Taoist couple with me instead.”

"If Fu Li succeeds, or he fails, the marriage will continue, and my sister will marry into the Fu family."

 Complex marriage plans.

Luo Chen chewed on the meaning of the words, and after some judgment, he came to the result.

"This should be the result of a joint discussion between your sister and the clan leader! As far as I know, the Fu family has a golden elixir master as a backer, but his life span is running out."

"No matter who of you succeeds or both of you fail, this marriage will benefit both of you."

Tao Yisheng nodded dejectedly.

 “Indeed it is.”

"In order to compete for Tao seeds, my sister offended many people in Qingdan Valley. In order to prevent the future from settling accounts, this marriage was made."

"Of course, this is all a matter for the future. For now, we have obtained the full support of the clan leader's lineage. From now on, people from his lineage will fully assist me in being a good head of the family. Moreover, in the first sword fight, When the time comes, the clan leader will personally take action to seize the position of the Nine True Legends for my sister."

Hearing these words, Luo Chen couldn't help but smacked his lips.

 It seems that it is not easy to get involved in a cultivating immortal family!

 There is an exchange of interests everywhere and a compromise for perfection.

 Both sides are compromising, and both sides are speaking out for their own interests.

 The last appeal is for the whole family.

 Obviously, not long ago, I was red-faced and disgraced.

Now, they are tightly tied together.

Even an old guy like Tao Daonan, half of whom was about to be buried in the ground, had to personally take action for Tao Wan.

"Brother Luo, I have only taken over the Tao family for one month, but I am still struggling. I feel that I am not capable enough and I don't have enough energy."

“It’s hard to imagine how you managed to support such a large Luo Tianhui with nothing.”

 “Do you have experience and can teach me?”

Tao Yisheng looked at Luo Chen with burning eyes, full of confusion and hope.

Luo Chen said casually: "This is the starting stage. It will be fine once you become familiar with the internal operations of the family."



Tao Yisheng bit his lower lip bitterly and shook his head with difficulty.

 “Some things just don’t need to be familiar.”

"This is just a matter within the clan. I can't handle it smoothly. I still need my sister to compromise with the clan leader to get the full support of the other party."

“What should I do if there is a fight within the family in the future?”

 The words are full of confusion and fear about the future.

 Until then!

Luo Chen discovered that in just one month, Tao Yisheng had gone through many vicissitudes.

 In other words, it is not vicissitudes of life, but maturity.

 The youthfulness has faded away, and I have become responsible.

 The head of the house, the head of the house, the head of the family!

 The young man who used to be carefree is now beginning to worry about the management of a family that cultivates immortals.

Luo Chen, who had been dealing with Tao Yisheng casually before, could no longer deal with the words.

 Tao Yisheng’s name for himself is always changing.

  Fellow Daoist Luo during the Yuan Zhaoguo period, and later Dan Chenzi, who was somewhat respected, and not long ago, he has taught him alchemy for a year, and has become a respected and kind brother Daoist Luo.

 Nowadays, it is very customary to call him "Brother Luo".

 From the constant changes in titles, it can be seen that his trust in himself has been increasing.

 Perfunctory, it shouldn’t be.

Luo Chen sighed, looked at the sad Tao Yisheng, and said seriously:

 “Concrete situation, specific analysis, how to do it depends on the situation at that time.”

“The experience I can give you is, don’t limit your perspective on things to your personal perspective.”

Tao Yisheng frowned and humbly asked for advice.

 “Brother Luo, can you explain it in detail?”

Luo Chen straightened his clothes and sat upright with a serious face.

“An individual’s strength, before it reaches a high enough level, is extremely limited compared to that of a family clan.”

“And you are only in the early stages of foundation building, so you will naturally feel powerless when dealing with internal and external affairs.”

"But if you look at it more broadly, you are a descendant of the Golden Elixir monks. Your family has more than a dozen foundation builders, including many late-stage foundation builders like your sister and Tao Daonan. You even have the identity of the true successor of the Qingdan Valley. !”

 “In many cases, these external things can lend you a boost.”

“Aiming at the enemy, you don’t need to do it yourself in many cases. You can completely rely on your own strength to attack, or you can combine vertical and horizontal forces.”

"This is the big direction, but in terms of the small direction. You have to consider the interests of many parties, what can you satisfy, what can others give you, or can you learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, seize benefits from others, and give them to others? other people."

"To be more concise, you are the one who divides the meat. Others are not targeting you, but the meat in your hands."

"besides…"

This "Mo-Dutch Duel" lasted for a whole afternoon.

 What Luo Chen taught was not a profound insight, just some relatively superficial theories.

 He has not received any systematic teaching in this area.

 Many things were figured out bit by bit based on the theories in his previous life and the practice in this life.

 Just talking from personal experience!

 How to implement it specifically depends on the specific situation at that time.

Luo Chen specifically warned not to copy it blindly, but to make a decision after careful analysis.

 But at least, after an afternoon of teaching, Tao Yisheng had some ideas in his mind.

 In the future, the number of people gradually increased as they dealt with family affairs.

These things will slowly be integrated into his instincts.

 This is the case in the world of immortality.

 For those with outstanding talents, they are taught cultivation and the various arts of immortality from an early age.

 The so-called handling of people and managing subordinates is rarely taught in particular.

 When the realm is high, one can naturally conquer everything. But obviously, not everyone can reach the highest level.

Now Luo Chen is standing in the perspective of an outsider and instilling some conceptual things into Tao Yisheng.

 With his intelligence, he will always be able to gain something in the future!

The only pity is that his considerable talent in alchemy will be buried in the complicated affairs.

　In this life, a person’s energy is limited.

It is impossible to be proficient in everything and become an all-rounder in the world of immortality.

Even Luo Chen has learned to delegate power during the Qi refining period.

 He is only responsible for making major decisions, and the specific implementation must be carried out by the people below.

 Tao Yisheng left.

With a lot of things stuffed in my mind, I left Moheyuan with hopes for the future.

 After Luo Chen had a simple sumptuous dinner, he entered the practice room.

 Took out a medium-grade colorful chrysanthemum pill, and Luo Chen swallowed it.

Since being promoted to the fifth level of foundation building, if you want to break through this realm, you need more spiritual energy.

 Compared with the four-story foundation building, it has more than doubled.

If you haven’t penetrated the hundred meridians, only take second-order low-grade elixirs as assistance.

 It will take at least ten years for him to break through.

Now, with the help of the Blood Evil Pill, he has penetrated hundreds of meridians, and has the master-level "Eternal Youth Sutra" as his main training method.

As long as it is combined with a high-grade cave dwelling, he is sure to break through to the sixth level of foundation building within six years!

 This is the confidence that the skyrocketing cultivation speed has given Luo Chen now that the hundred meridians have been connected.

but.

 Just like this, Luo Chen will not be satisfied!

 The huge Qingdan Valley has hundreds of great monks in the late stage of foundation building.

Many of them have stopped at building the seventh or eighth floor of the foundation, or like Tao Daonan, they have built the ninth floor.

 Don’t they want to build the foundation of Dzogchen?

No!

 Simply because as the practice progresses, the progress becomes slower and slower, and even every small realm is as difficult to cross as a natural chasm.

It would take Luo Chen five or six years to build just five floors of foundation.

 He can imagine how long this time will become after reaching the later stage of foundation building.

 Fifty years?

a hundred years?

He doesn't want to wait until he is over two hundred years old like Tao Daonan before sprinting to the golden elixir stage.

 His target is Tao Wan and Shangguan Yan, a big talent!

When he was less than 150 years old, he built a nine-story foundation.

 There is a lot of time to perfect the realm of foundation building and sprint to the golden elixir stage.

 “My goals are no longer limited to ordinary sect disciples.”

 “This generation of talented people is the one I should chase!”

 My mind gradually calmed down.

 Luo Chen concentrated on refining the medicinal power of the middle-grade Cai Ju Dan.

The current level of cultivation cannot satisfy him, and a better third-level spiritual land is hard to come by.

If he wanted to speed up his cultivation, he could only rely on pills.

 Alchemy happens to be the skill in which he is most confident.

 …

 Three days later.

Luo Chen walked out of the training room with a gloomy expression.

 He has already tested the potency of various grades of Cai Ju Dan.

 The lower grade Cai Ju Dan is only half of the lower grade Sheng Long Dan.

 The middle-grade Caiju Dan is comparable to the low-grade Shenglong Dan.

The upper-grade Caiju Pill surpasses the lower-grade Shenglong Pill, but is still not as good as the middle-grade Shenglong Pill.

 Only the top-grade Colorful Chrysanthemum Pill slightly surpassed the middle-grade Shenglong Pill.

With an increase of this level, if Luo Chen was in the early stages of foundation building, he would definitely be extremely happy.

After all, the potency of a middle-grade Shenglong Dan-level medicine, after digestion, is already half the effect of a high-grade Dongfu Movement Technique.

 One pill is worth half a day of hard work.

　　It is excellent no matter how you calculate it.

but!

Luo Chen’s current state is already at the fifth level of foundation building.

 What he longs for is a high-grade Shenglong Dan level panacea!

 It's just a mid-level one, so I can only make do with it.

By chance, Luo Chen had studied the prescription of Caiju Dan.

He doesn’t know the difficulty of refining yet, but he can judge the cost of a raw material based on his rich knowledge.

 One portion costs one hundred spiritual stones, which is comparable to the Jade Dew Pill!

If Luo Chen wants to refine the best color chrysanthemum pill.

Even not counting the consumption of proficiency in the early stage, the best elixir alone only has a 10% success rate.

  This means that once he harvests the top-quality Colorful Chrysanthemum Pill, he will have to spend a thousand spiritual stones!

 One thousand spiritual stones to buy a bottle of second-level middle-grade elixir, very reasonable!

  But what is unreasonable is that the number of pills produced in each furnace of Caiju Pill is probably not high.

Tao Yisheng only produced three.

 If it were Luo Chen, he might be able to double it, or even get seven or eight.

  However, it is still not cost-effective compared to purchasing the second-level mid-level elixir directly.

Luo Chen is not a fool, he can settle accounts.

Just by calculating this account, you can find that after reaching a high level, refining the top-quality Caijudan is a loss-making business.

 Being self-sufficient will only achieve twice the result with half the effort!

“That’s right, if it’s a cultivation elixir that’s not weaker than Shenglong Dan, the Tao family won’t be able to give it to me.”

 “I should have expected it.”

"Just like **** elixirs like Chalcedony Pill can be spread outside, as long as the large sects control the more effective cultivation elixirs, they can completely suppress the ordinary cultivation elixirs made by casual cultivators in terms of cost performance, thus occupying the vast majority of the market. Part of the market!”

 After thinking about this, Luo Chen only had a wry smile on his face.

 The recipe for Cai Ju Dan in his hand suddenly became extremely useless.

 It is said that he is useful, but not of much use to Luo Chen.

 Say he is useless?

But it is not necessarily the case. If Luo Chen develops resistance to Shenglong Pill in the future and cannot find other substitutes, then the top-quality Caiju Pill, which is comparable to the middle-grade Shenglong Pill, can be regarded as a backup.

 It’s this backhand, a bit weak.

With a wry smile, Luo Chen walked out of Mohe Garden.

 Looking in the direction of the Tao family's main house, he was silent for a moment.

Perhaps even Tao Wan did not expect that his demand for elixirs would be so high!

 As an ordinary casual cultivator, it would be a great blessing if he could refine the elixir for his own use.

 But he is a Luo Chen, and his requirements far exceed those of ordinary casual cultivators.

 “That’s all, maybe I’m a little greedy.”

“The current situation has already exceeded my initial expectations. How can I become a big fat man in one bite?”

 Shaking his head, Luo Chen left Mohe Garden in the clouds.

 He planned to go out for a walk.

 Tao Yisheng mentioned before that Zongmenfang City in Qingdan Valley has been very lively recently.

The battle for the Tao Seed is imminent. Many foundation-building cultivators within the sect have returned, as well as many helpers invited from outside. There are even many foundation-building disciples from other sects coming to watch the ceremony.

 With so many people coming together in a short period of time, transactions will naturally occur.

“I am disappointed in my alchemy path. Maybe I can make up for my luck elsewhere?”

With good hopes in mind, Luo Chen stepped into Qingdanfang City in the clouds.
