Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 332 The future of Caiju Dan in Mohe Garden
After receiving the box from Tao Yisheng, Luo Chen immediately opened it to have a look.

Ten medium-grade ones, three top-grade ones, and even an extremely high-grade Chrysanthemum Pill surrounded by 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 he was familiar with it.

He rubbed his brows and said: "It was left by the Nanshan ancestor of my Tao family. After all, he developed this pill himself, and it was once pushed to the top level. It's a pity that due to the limitation of raw materials, the potency of the medicine has never been improved, and it is far inferior to that of my ancestors. The Rising Dragon Pill of the door."

"I didn't find it in the family treasure house, but my sister went to the patriarch's place and found it."

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

Eyes, very focused.

This thing is related to his future cultivation progress.

The medicine is not as powerful as Rising Dragon Pill, he had expected it.

Now, he just wanted to know whether the medicinal power of the higher-grade Caiju Pill could surpass that of the ordinary Rising Dragon Pill.

"That old guy has a lot of demands, but he only offered conditions for a few pills."

"What's annoying is that my sister actually agreed to that so-called marriage..."

"Ok?"

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

"Just for these pills? Marriage?"

Realizing that he had said something wrong, Tao Yisheng quickly waved his hands.

"It has nothing to do with this, it's just that Tao Daonan found an excuse. Unexpectedly, my sister actually agreed."

Luo Chen frowned slightly, staring at him, waiting for the next article.

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

"The marriage partner is Fu Li from the Fu family."

"After the Dao Seed Contest, if my elder sister wins the Dao Seed position, this marriage proposal will be invalidated, and the Fu family daughter will form a Tao partner with me instead."

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

Complicated marriage schemes.

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

"This should be the result of a joint discussion between your sister and the patriarch! As far as I know, the Fu family has a Jindan master as a backer, but his lifespan is running out."

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

Tao Yisheng nodded dejectedly.

"Indeed."

"In order to compete for the Dao Seed, 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 for the future. For now, we have obtained the full support of the patriarch's lineage. In the future, people from his lineage will fully assist me in being the head of the family. And, in the first sword fight At that time, the patriarch will personally take action to win the position of the Nine Great True Inheritances for my sister."

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

It seems that it is not easy to hang out in the Xiuxian family!

Everywhere is the exchange of interests, and everywhere is compromise.

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

The last appeal was for the whole family.

Obviously, some time ago, she was blushing and disheveled.

Now, they are tied tightly together.

Even Tao Daonan, an old guy whose half body is about to sink into the ground, wants to take action for Tao Wan himself.

"Brother Luo, it's only been a month since I took over the Tao family, but I'm struggling. I deeply feel that I don't have enough energy to do anything."

"It's hard to imagine how you managed to support such a huge Luo Tianhui when you had nothing."

"Do you have the experience to teach me?"

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

Luo Chen said casually: "The initial stage is like this, when you are familiar with the internal operation of the family, it will be fine."

In this regard.

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

"There are some things that don't need to be familiar with."

"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 in exchange for the full support of the other party's line."

"If in the future, it involves a struggle within the family, what should I do?"

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

Until now!

Only then did Luo Chen realize that in just one month, Tao Yisheng had experienced a lot of "vicissitudes".

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

The greenness and immaturity have faded away, and I have become a sense of responsibility.

Patriarch, Patriarch, Patriarch!
The young man who used to be carefree is now worried about the management of a cultivating family.

Luo Chen, who had dealt with Tao Yisheng casually before, couldn't keep talking when the words came to his lips.

Tao Yisheng's address to himself has been changing all the time.

Fellow Daoist Luo in Yuanzhao Kingdom period, Dan Chenzi, who was somewhat respected later, and not long ago taught him alchemy for a year, and became a respectful and kind Brother Luo Dao.

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

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

Perfunctory, shouldn't be.

Luo Chen sighed, looked at the distressed Tao Yisheng, and said seriously:
"The specific situation, specific analysis, and how to do it depend on the situation at the time."

"The experience I can give you is to look at things from the perspective of yourself, and don't limit yourself to yourself."

Tao Yisheng frowned, humbly asking for advice.

"Brother Luo, can you explain it carefully?"

Luo Chen tidied up his clothes, sat upright, with a serious face.

"Individual strength, before reaching a high enough level, is extremely limited compared to family sects."

"And you are only in the early stage of foundation establishment, so when dealing with internal and external affairs, you will naturally feel powerless."

"But you relax, you are a descendant of Jindan cultivator, your family has more than a dozen foundation builders, many of them are strong late foundation builders like your sister and Tao Daonan, and even you yourself have the identity of the true heir of Qingdan Valley !"

"In many cases, these external things can lend you help."

"For the enemy, in many cases, you don't have to do it yourself, you can use your strength to fight, or you can combine vertically and horizontally."

"This is the big direction, let's talk about the small direction. You have to think about the interests of multiple parties, what you can satisfy, what others can give you, or learn from each other's strengths, take benefits from others, and give them to you. other people."

"Let's be more streamlined. If you pull a faction and fight another faction, you divide the meat. What others target is not you, but the meat in your hands."

"and also……"

This "Mohe pair" lasted a whole afternoon.

What Luo Chen taught was not profound knowledge, but some relatively superficial theories.

He has not received systematic teaching in this regard.

Many things are based on his past life theory and practice in this life, and he has explored it bit by bit.

Just talking about it!

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

Luo Chen specially told him not to copy blindly, but to make a decision after careful analysis.

But at least, with the whole afternoon of teaching, Tao Yisheng had some concepts in his mind.

Later, with the handling of family affairs, it gradually increased.

These things will slowly merge into his instinct.

This is the case in the world of cultivating immortals.

For those with outstanding talents, what they were taught from an early age was self-cultivation and all the arts of cultivating immortals.

The so-called dealing with people and managing subordinates are rarely taught in particular.

When the realm is high, it can naturally overwhelm everything.

But obviously, not everyone can climb to the highest level.

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

With his ingenuity, there will always be benefits in the future!

The only pity is that his outstanding alchemy talent may be buried in complicated affairs.

In this life, energy is limited.

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

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 has to be carried out by the people below.

Tao Yisheng left.

With a lot of things stuffed in his mind, he left Mohe Garden with hopes for the future.

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

Taking out a mid-grade colorful chrysanthemum pill, Luo Chen swallowed it.

After being promoted to the fifth level of foundation building, more aura is needed to break through this level.

Compared with when the foundation was built on the fourth floor, it was more than doubled.

If you have not penetrated the hundred meridians, only take the second-order low-grade elixir as an auxiliary.

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

But now, with the help of the Xuesha Pill, he has penetrated all the meridians, and he also has the master-level "Eternal Youth Sutra" as his main practice method.

As long as it is paired with a top-grade cave, he is sure to break through to the sixth foundation building within six years!
This is the self-confidence brought to Luo Chen by the skyrocketing cultivation speed now that all the meridians are connected.

but.

Just like this, Luo Chen will not be satisfied!

There are hundreds of great monks in the late stage of Foundation Establishment in the huge Qingdan Valley.

Many of them stop at the seventh or eighth floor of the foundation building, or like Tao Daonan, the ninth floor of the foundation building that is getting old.

Don't they want to build a foundation and complete the Dzogchen?
Do not!
It's just because the progress of the practice becomes slower and slower, and even every small realm is as difficult to cross as a natural moat.

It would take five or six years for Luo Chen to build a mere five layers of foundation.

He can imagine how much this time will become after the foundation establishment stage.

50 years?
100 years?

He didn't want to wait until he was more than 200 years old like Tao Daonan, and then sprint to the Jindan stage.

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

When he was only one hundred and five years old, he built nine layers of foundations.

There is a lot of time to complete the foundation building state and sprint to the Jindan stage.

"My goal is no longer limited to ordinary sect disciples."

"This generation's arrogance is the one I should pursue!"

The mind gradually calmed down.

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

The current cultivation realm cannot satisfy him, and a better third-order spiritual land is even more rare.

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

And alchemy happened to be the skill he was most confident in.

……

three days later.

Luo Chen walked out of the training room with an uncertain expression.

He has tested the potency of each grade of Caiju Dan separately.

The low-grade Caiju Dan is only half of the low-grade Shenglong Pill.

The mid-grade Caiju Dan is comparable to the low-grade Rising Dragon Pill.

The top-rank Caiju Dan surpassed the low-rank Rising Dragon Pill, but it was still not as good as the middle-rank Rising Dragon Pill.

Only the top-grade colorful chrysanthemum pill slightly surpassed the middle-grade rising dragon pill.

If this kind of increase was in the early stage of Luo Chen's foundation establishment, he would definitely be extremely happy.

After all, after digesting the medicinal power of the mid-grade Rising Dragon Pill, it is already half as effective as the high-grade Dongfu running kung fu once.

A elixir, worth half a day of penance.

In any case, it is excellent.

but!

Luo Chen's current realm is already at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment.

What he longed for was a panacea of ​​top-grade Rising Dragon Pill!
The mid-level ones can only be said to be adequate.

Unfortunately, Luo Chen had studied the formula of Caiju Pill.

He doesn't know the difficulty of refining, but he can judge the cost of a raw material through his rich knowledge.

One serving costs 100 yuan of spirit stones, which is comparable to Yuludan!

Ruo Luochen wants to refine the top-grade colorful chrysanthemum pill.

Even if you don't count the consumption of proficiency in the early stage, the top-grade pills alone only have a [-]% success rate.

It means that he has to spend 1000 yuan of spirit stones once he harvests the best color chrysanthemum pill!

1000 yuan of spirit stones, to buy a bottle of second-order middle-grade pills, is very reasonable!
But what is unreasonable is that the number of finished pills in each batch of Caiju Dan is probably not high.

Tao Yisheng only released three at the beginning.

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

But it is still not cost-effective compared to directly buying second-tier middle-grade pills.

Luo Chen is not stupid, he knows how to settle accounts.

Just by doing the calculations, one can find that refining the top-grade colorful chrysanthemum pill is a loss-making business after the realm is high.

Self-sufficiency will only get twice the result with half the effort!
"That's right, if it is a practice pill that is not weaker than Rising Dragon Pill, it is impossible for the Tao family to give it to me."

"I should have expected that."

"Just like rubbish pills like Chalcedony Pill can be spread outside, as long as the big sect controls the practice pills with better effects, it can completely suppress the ordinary practice pills made by loose practice in terms of cost performance, thus occupying an overwhelming majority Part of the market!"

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

The recipe of Caiju Dan in his hand suddenly became extremely tasteless.

It is said that he is useful, but it is not very useful to Luo Chen.

Say he is useless?

But it is not necessarily true, if Luo Chen develops resistance to the Rising Dragon Pill in the future and cannot find other substitutes, then the top-grade Caiju Pill, which is comparable to the middle-grade Rising Dragon Pill, may well be a backup.

This is the backhand, a little weak.

With a wry smile, Luo Chen walked out of the ink lotus garden.

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

Perhaps, even Tao Wan didn't expect that his demand for pills is so high!
As an ordinary casual cultivator, it would be a great blessing to be able to refine and use elixirs by oneself.

But he, Luo Chen, had far more requirements than ordinary casual cultivators.

"Forget it, maybe I'm a little greedy."

"The current situation has already exceeded my initial expectations. How can I become a big fat man with one bite."

Shaking his head, Luo Chen left Mohe Garden on a cloud.

He intends to go out to relax.

Earlier, Tao Yisheng mentioned Zongmenfang City in Qingdan Valley, which has been very lively recently.

The Dao Seed Controversy is imminent, and many foundation-establishing true cultivators in the sect have returned, as well as many helpers invited from outside, and there are even quite a few foundation-establishing disciples from other sects who came to watch the ceremony.

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

"Dan Dao is frustrated, maybe in other places, luck can make up for it?"

With good hopes in mind, Luo Chen drove into Qingdanfang City.
