I have a sky hall

Chapter 15 Lack of fresh herbs
Lu Chen had already guessed that the Seven Star Sect would come to invite them, so he didn't panic at all. After all, the elixir made by the automatic alchemy furnace was so effective, as long as he was a cultivator, he might miss them.

There is no way, even if they are not in Qixing Town, but go to other places, there will still be people who want to pull them to join.

If they don't join, it may stimulate those forces to have the idea that "if they can't get it, others can't get it", and they will attack them.

Therefore, the top priority is to stabilize the Seven Star Sect first.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen said: "Senior, we don't intend to join any sect."

Seeing that Lu Chen rejected her decisively, Ning Xuerong said in a threatening tone: "Young master Lu, you have to think clearly, the strongest in your Lu family is a monk in the melting spirit realm, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep the pill you refined medicine."

Lu Chen didn't care too much about her threat, he still had a smile on his face, "Senior, can I take your words as a threat to us?"

Ning Xuerong replied: "I'm not threatening you, but telling you the facts. Even if we don't invite you to join, once other forces discover the elixir you have refined, they will definitely invite you."

"Nowadays, the struggle between the major powers in Yunling Prefecture is becoming more and more fierce, and no one will allow the strength of other powers to increase significantly."

"The effect of the first-grade elixir you have refined is close to that of the third-grade elixir. If you are asked to refine the third-grade elixir, wouldn't the effect of your elixir be able to reach the sixth-grade?"

Lu Chen felt a little helpless, he didn't expect that their business had just started, and they would be involved in the struggle.

But Lu Chen was not too worried.

there is always a solution to a problem.

Then Lu Chen asked: "Senior, may I ask how strong the Seven Star Sect is in the entire Yunling State?"

Hearing this question, Ning Xuerong froze for a moment.

Then she said: "The five major sects rank fifth, and the nine major sects rank seventh."

There are five major sects and four major empires in Yunling Prefecture, and these nine major forces are the strongest, and the rest of the small groups cannot make it to the stage.

Hearing Ning Xuerong's answer, Lu Chen said flatly: "Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty."

As soon as the words came out, he didn't say anything more.

He believed that Ning Xuerong was not a fool and could understand what he meant.

Soon, Ning Xuerong came to her senses.

If Feng Xinghui could be brought into the Seven Star Sect to refine pills for them, it would indeed strengthen their sect.

However, before the strength of their sect has improved, it is estimated that the other four sects will unite to attack them. Their own strength is weak, and they are fish on the chopping board.

The reason why the other four major sects have not done anything yet is mainly due to the lack of a common interest.

If Feng Xinghui was allowed to join them, wouldn't Feng Xinghui become the common interests of the other four sects?

Thinking of this, Ning Xuerong frowned.

Looking at it like this, Feng Xinghui really cannot join the Seven Star Sect.

However, if Feng Xinghui is asked to go to another sect and join other forces, wouldn't that mean sending a knife to the enemy?
So, it is better to destroy the Lu family?
Just when he was thinking this way, Lu Chen said: "Senior, are you thinking about what the Seven Star Sect can't get, and can't let other forces get it?"

Ning Xuerong did not deny it, and said directly: "Yes, if you join other forces, it will not be a good thing for our Seven Star Sect."

Lu Chen said with a smile: "Didn't I just say that I don't intend to join any forces."

Ning Xuerong said: "It's useless for you to say this to me. What if other forces insist on letting you join?"

Lu Chen said lightly: "Senior, you should think so."

"If you have such an idea, then other forces also have this idea. When all the forces have such an idea, what do you think will happen?"

After listening to Lu Chen's words, Ning Xuerong pondered for a moment, and soon she realized what Lu Chen meant.

"When all the forces have this idea, a balance will be formed, so the people in Lufu don't have to die?" Ning Xuerong said.

Seeing that Ning Xuerong understood what he meant, Lu Chen said: "I have already let people release the news that our Lu Mansion will not join any forces. It will probably be known to other forces in a short time."

Speaking of this, Lu Chen continued: "Senior, how about this? Since we started to develop on the territory of the Seven Star Sect, then you come to the pill shop in Lufu to order pills, and I will give you a [-]% discount?"

Ning Xuerong said with some dissatisfaction: "Only [-]% off?"

Lu Chen said: "The efficacy of the first-grade pills is close to that of the third-rank ones, so it's already good if we don't sell them at the price of the third-grade pills."

Ning Xuerong said: "Alright, I'll go back and ask the suzerain."

Having said that, Ning Xuerong stood up, and then Yu Jianfei left.

After Ning Xuerong left, Lu Chen got up from his seat and leisurely went to Lu's Pill Shop.

Although they seem to be in danger now, as long as they are still useful, no one will take action against them for the time being.

Even if someone wants to kill them, there must be some people who don't want them to die to protect them.

After arriving at Lu's Pill Shop, Lu Chen found that there seemed to be more people missing at the entrance of the Pill Shop.

The entrance of the elixir shop was crowded with people yesterday, why are there so many people missing all of a sudden today? It stands to reason that their elixir is the best quality among all the elixir shops in Qixing Town.

Lu Chen stepped into the elixir shop one step at a time.

Seeing Lu Chen coming, the clerk of the elixir shop immediately bowed and said, "Hi, young master."

Lu Chen nodded, and then asked: "Today's business doesn't seem to be as good as yesterday?"

At this time Feng Xinghui came out from the inner courtyard of the shop and said, "Master, there is something I forgot to tell you."

Speaking of this, Feng Xinghui suddenly thought that it is not suitable to speak out directly about this matter, so he said to Lu Chen: "Master, the automatic alchemy furnace seems to be unable to refine medicinal materials that are too old, and the alchemy rate in these two days is getting higher and higher It's getting lower."

Hearing this, Lu Chen froze for a moment.

He was about to ask the reason of the Temple of the Sky, when the voice of the Temple of the Sky rang in his mind.

Sky Temple: "The elixir refined by the automatic alchemy furnace needs life energy, and the life energy in the medicinal materials that are too old has been lost, so the rate of success is relatively low."

Lu Chen asked: "The year here is too long, does it mean that the medicinal materials have been pulled out for too long, or does it mean that the medicinal materials have grown in the soil for too long?"

Cangqiong Temple: "It means that the medicinal materials have been left for too long after leaving the soil."

Lu Chen said: "So that's how it is."

Then Lu Chen said to Feng Xinghui through voice transmission: "The elixir refined by the automatic alchemy furnace needs medicinal materials that have just been dug out of the soil. The longer the medicinal materials are dug out and placed, the lower the rate of success will be."

Feng Xinghui said via voice transmission: "If this is the case, we probably have to cooperate with those big forces."

"The medicinal materials we bought two days ago were all freshly dug. Now there are no fresh medicinal materials in Qixing Town."

Lu Chen was a little speechless. He thought that the upgrade was just around the corner, but he didn't expect that he would be stumped by the medicinal materials.
