Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 271 Fellow Taoist Luo Chen, save me

By the Qinhua River.

The originally rushing river, halfway through, part of it entered a huge inlet and became calm.

 The bay is huge, dozens of feet wide.

 The river surface is calm and the breeze is blowing.

Two figures were sitting side by side by the river, with medicinal tea in the middle, and each holding a fishing rod that exuded aura of light.

“My Li family is based on refining elixirs and cultivating seven kinds of medicinal materials, and is well-known in Tianlan Fairy City.”

“But in fact, in addition to medicinal materials and elixirs, there are also three spiritual fish ponds as supplementary income.”

“The Huilong Bay under my feet is one of the spiritual fish ponds, which raises raccoon fish that need living water.”

Li Jinhuang was stroking his gray beard and talking eloquently.

 The many businesses of the Li family mentioned are all the lifeblood of the Li family.

Said it so generously, as if he was not afraid of the man next to him coveting her at all.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, glanced at the motionless fishing rod, and said casually: "Since you want to fish, why not go to a real big river. It's really boring to raise fish in this pond."

  The implication.

Pond fishing doesn’t show any real skill.

 You have to be a big river to see what you can do.

Unexpectedly, Li Jinhuang waved his hand.

“My fellow Taoist, what you said is wrong. What you are fishing for is not a captive-bred raccoon fish.”

 “Oh? How do you say this?”

"Huanhua fish needs living water as a source, so the fish pond can only be built in this Huilong Bay. But in the Qinhua River, there is a kind of blue-scaled arowana, which likes Huanhua fish to eat the most. Now the two are bordering, and the green-scaled dragon fish Fish often come in to replenish their food, and even if there is a magic weapon to block it, there are often fish that slip through the net and swim in secretly, causing heavy losses to my Li family. "

Li Jinhuang paused and pursed his lips at the fishing rod.

“The bait we use is specially made from the bones of the catfish, which is particularly attractive to the blue-scaled arowana.”

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

“So, I’m here to work for your Li family for free!”

Li Jinhuang said in a vicissitudes of tone: "Fellow Taoist is trying to use my channel to sell elixirs for you, so why don't you let me work in vain?"

Luo Chen frowned, "Of course I won't miss out on your share of the reward."

"I'm about to die, what's the use of some spiritual stones?" Li Jinhuang looked at Luo Chen calmly.

At this moment, Luo Chen fell silent.

The other person’s life expectancy is very short, and he only has a few years to live at most.

 Earning spiritual stones or anything like that is really of no use.

Like Qiankun during that period, before he died, he spent money crazily to purchase various resources for his family.

 Li Jinhuang, the same is true!

After a long while, Luo Chen raised his head and faced those calm eyes of vicissitudes of life.

 “Tell me, what do you want?”

Li Jinhuang nodded, but did not mention what he wanted. Instead, he first talked about what he could do.

"I will dispose of your elixir for you, and the price will definitely satisfy you. I will also make sure that no one knows that you made it, and no one else can even find it on me. In this way, it will be complete from beginning to end and foolproof."

"Sure?"

Luo Chen was a little skeptical.

 It is quite reasonable if we don’t find him.

 But even Li Jinhuang, the person who took action personally, can cover it up, which is a bit powerful.

 Li Jinhuang smiled slightly, "I was born in Tianlan Immortal City since I was a child. I know this place of thousands of miles, the scope of thousands of miles, and the countless sects of various sizes. It's just a few channels for selling stolen goods, but it's not an easy task."

“I even said that I will not dispose of that batch of pills in Tianlan Immortal City.”

 “Well, don’t worry!”

 When he said this, Luo Chen felt a little more convinced.

The other party is also an alchemist himself, although he is not very powerful and can only refine the first level.

 But he definitely knows much more about the underground channels for selling elixirs than Luo Chen, a newcomer who has only been in Tianlan Fairy City for a few years.

Then the problem comes back to the end.

 “What do you want, tell me, and I’ll do my best.”

 “What I want is very simple!”

Li Jinhuang took a deep breath, his vicissitudes of vision became intense, and he stared at Luo Chen.

“If my Qilin’er of the Li family succeeds in building the foundation, let him join the Luo Tianhui and give him the position of elder.”

Um?

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment.

Tsuki Zhenxiu joined the Luo Tianhui, as long as the elder position, and is it a false job?

 “What if it doesn’t succeed?” His thoughts were racing in his mind, but he was asking questions.

Li Jinhuang sighed, "If it fails, I hope you can promote Yuan Dongsheng to the position of the leader of the medicine hall."

 Yuan Dongsheng, the grandson of Granny Yuan.

 At the same time, he is also the object of marriage between Luo Tianhui and the Qinhua Li family.

 Has been engaged before.

 After a year, the marriage will be consummated.

Luo Chen was even more confused, "How do you feel? No matter what, I, Luo Tianhui, will make the profit!"

 “Isn’t it good?” Li Jinhuang said with a smile.

Luo Chen shook his head, "I only know that there is no such thing as a good thing for no reason. Every gain must come with a loss."

Li Jinhuang nodded, "That's natural. All I ask is that you can take care of the Qinhua Li family for me at the critical moment."

I see!

Whether it’s the Li family’s new member joining the Luo Tianhui, or the Li family’s son-in-law Yuan Dongsheng being promoted to the position of hall leader.

 They are all directly increasing the status of the Qinhuajiang Li family and Luotianhui.

If a disaster strikes, the Li family can naturally rely on Luo Tianhui to get through it.

Luo Chen sighed with emotion: "You are really worried about this family! But..."

 The conversation changed.

"Aren't you afraid that after you leave, I will use Yuan Dongsheng's name to embezzle your Li family's assets?"

Li Jinhuang stroked his beard and smiled, "After I leave, if the Li family does not have the master of Zhongxing, then even without you, there will be others who will covet this family property."

 “Compared to those foundation builders outside who have ulterior motives, I believe in your character more.”

"At least, given your tolerance, you won't kill them all, but will leave some scraps for my Li family."

 “I’m right, fellow Taoist Luo Chen!”

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, and for a moment he really didn't know how to answer.

The other party has obviously conducted an in-depth investigation into his deeds.

From this, we can judge his character and perform the entrusted actions.

This is a recognition of his personality charm.

 “Fellow Taoist, the fish is hooked!”

There was a reminder in his ears, and Luo Chen lifted the black fishing rod hard!

 The transparent and tough fishing line was suddenly drawn out.

 In the cold wind, a huge dragon fish was struggling to be pulled out of the water.

 The blue fish scales flashed with strong fluctuations of demonic energy.

 This is actually a late-stage first-order blue-scaled arowana!

 “Fellow Taoist, lift it up quickly, this fish is a good thing!”

 …

“Master, Sister Mi’s alchemy skills have improved a lot recently. Ten furnaces can produce more than twenty pills!”

“How do you know I caught a blue-scaled arowana weighing 700 kilograms!”

"Well…"

Qu Lingjun, who was excited, was stunned for a moment.

Luo Chen laughed, praised Mi Li next to him, and then went up to Danxia Peak.

 Hand the huge blue-scaled arowana to Yuan Dongsheng.

“This is a good thing. The feces can be used as fertilizer and can improve the permeability of the soil. It can allow spiritual energy to penetrate into the roots of spiritual plants, making them grow faster and better!”

Yuan Dongsheng’s eyes shone and he nodded repeatedly.

He had heard about the blue-scaled arowana from his fiancée Li Yingjun.

 The reason why the Li family’s medicinal material business is doing so well.

 The reason is that the feces of the blue-scaled arowana are often used to improve the level of the spiritual field and assist in the growth of spiritual values.

 Just didn’t expect it.

 The president actually caught a big late-stage first-order fish!

Yuan Dongsheng immediately sent someone to take down the big fish and feed it, and then took Luo Chen to swim in the mountains.

“The mountains here are relatively flat. There are a total of thirty-seven spiritual fields, and all of them have been restored to their original grade.”

"We pulled out the celestial silkworm kidney beans and ten spices that we had planted before, and planned to plant Qingyinhua grass after the heavy snowfall. This is a kind of spiritual grass that contains sufficient spiritual energy, high economic value, and a short growth cycle. The only disadvantage is that It’s too fragile and needs careful care.”

“However, Elder Min Longyu came to survey once and said that a formation can be arranged to protect the growth of Qingyinhua grass.”

 “That’s over there…”

 The two of them talked as they walked.

Most of the time, Yuan Dongsheng was talking and Luo Chen was listening.

  Along the way, from time to time you will meet some war hall monks who come to Lingtian to earn merit.

When they meet Luo Chen, they will always take the initiative to stand aside and greet Luo Chen warmly and respectfully.

Luo Chendu responded with a smile.

 Occasionally when I meet a subordinate I was familiar with before, I will stop to ask how the other person’s practice is progressing and answer their doubts in a few words.

 That's it, walking and talking all the way.

 Luo Chen finally had a comprehensive understanding of the spiritual fields on Danxia Peak.

It can be said that this is an extremely huge wealth!

 If the business is done well, the annual income will be more than 100,000 spiritual stones!

If the Alchemy Hall with Luo Chen is left aside, these spiritual fields will be the main source of income for Luo Tianhui.

With 100,000 spiritual stones in ten years to rent this Danxia Peak, you will definitely make a lot of money! However, the ice castle is not a loss either.

 They only have the power to collect rent. Danxia Peak is actually the common property of seven sects.

I don’t feel bad for selling my land!

What’s more, running a spiritual field is quite hard and requires constant care.

Moreover, there must be a senior spiritual husband like Yuan Dongsheng.

If you were to give him a piece of land and he would not know how to plant it or what he would plant!

 No one rented it before, mainly because the situation at Danxia Peak was too complicated.

The rent is high, there are many casual cultivators entrenched, and there are also small forces such as the Shengong Sect and the Geng Family intervening.

 In the end, it was Luo Chen who relied on his words and strength to win over this territory.

Even so, Luo Tianhui still spent a lot of effort to restore the quality of these spiritual fields.

 Go to a remote place.

Several narrow spiritual fields have been planted with flowering star vines that can grow on rock walls.

 Luo Chen stopped.

 “You did a good job and hope to do better in the future!”

Yuan Dongsheng smiled reservedly and said, "President, you are very kind to me and have found an excellent marriage for me. These are all things I should do."

 Apparently, he is very satisfied with his fiancée Li Yingjun.

 Luo Chen shook his head.

 “Keep working hard in the future!”

"When you reach the ninth level of Qi refining, I will make the decision and let you take charge of this medicine hall."

Yuan Dongsheng was stunned.

 He asked subconsciously: "What about Hall Master Bian Zhen?"

"He doesn't understand these things at all. He just relies on his realm to control the medicine hall." Luo Chen turned around and walked back, "When the time comes, Luo Tian will have other arrangements for him."

With this said, Yuan Dongsheng felt at ease.

 Following behind Luo Chen, he looked excited and was even more excited in his heart.

 He has little desire for power.

 But the medicine hall was established and developed by his grandmother.

If one day in the future, he can take charge of the medicine hall again, he will live up to grandma's expectations.

 …

 Next, Luo Chen went all the way to Qitang and Zhantang, and even took the time to visit Xiaofang City in Biyou Valley, which was beginning to take shape.

 After completing this circle, it was already very late.

 When she returned to Luotian Hall, Sima Huiniang had been waiting quietly for a long time.

 Sitting down on the chair, Luo Chen said with emotion.

 “Hui Niang, you did really well!”

Even though her mentality has become extremely mature after years of hard work, Sima Huiniang still had a sore nose when she heard Luo Chen's heartfelt praise.

 Outsiders don’t know where Luo Chen came from with this endless compliment.

 Only Sima Huiniang knew it well.

This afternoon, Luo Chen did more than just take a look around and inquire about the development of various halls.

 He is still judging their current attitude towards Luo Tianhui through a few words with each monk he has brief contact with.

  Cutting basic salaries across the board is undoubtedly a risky move.

Facts have proved that the decline of countless large companies started from the two points of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure and focusing on internal personnel management.

 Luo Chen was just an exploited middle-class social animal in his previous life.

 For these principles, I know what they are, but I don’t know why they are so.

 Hence, when I decided to make this move, I was still feeling uneasy.

 He did not want to see the Luo Tianhui he established with his own hands come to an end in such a hurry.

 However, the reality proves that he must do this.

 Otherwise, the collapse of the Luotian Society will only come faster.

During this time, Luo Chen has been thinking about this matter.

 That’s why I came to Danxia Peak directly after meeting Li Jinhuang.

 However, after seeing and hearing along the way, he found that there was no such situation of "outrageous public dissatisfaction" internally.

This proves that the internal monks have accepted the previous series of policies.

 What makes them accept it is not how good the policy is, but how good the people who implement it are doing!

 That's why he spontaneously praised Sima Huiniang.

This woman may have some shortcomings in business development due to her limited knowledge and experience.

  But he is indeed very talented in management and personnel adjustment.

 Now after many years, the talent has been converted into strength!

 “The president is too flattering.”

“I can achieve this level only because of your prestige as the president, so I can proceed smoothly.”

 “Prestige? Maybe!”

Luo Chen shook his head and smiled.

Looking at the slightly tired woman, I guess she suffered a lot of grievances and suffered a lot of infamy during the implementation of the meritorious policy!

 After all, President Luo Chen is the one who is generous.

 The stingy one will always be CEO Sima Huiniang.

Sima Huiniang said seriously: "At the beginning of the implementation of the meritorious service policy, I first killed the chicken to scare the monkeys to scare everyone, and then I used a big stick and sweet dates to provide welfare benefits."

“Especially, the treatment of our Luo Tianhui is much better than that of other large and small forces nearby.”

“Whether it’s good or bad, everyone has an account in their mind.”

“And the most important thing is, everyone thinks that following the president will lead to success!”

“Duan, Wang, and Min are building the foundation in front, and Hall Master Murong is about to sprint, but what about behind? What about the future? Everyone feels that they also have a chance!”

“And this opportunity will not be given to other leaders of small forces, only the president!”

is that so?

Luo Chen listened happily, but in his mind he thought of Li Jinhuang's words in the morning.

hehe!

That old man, I guess I judge his character based on this!

 After all, everyone can say nice things, but the truth depends on the actual situation.

Luo Chen didn’t say too many nice things, but Luo Tianhui did indeed give birth to true cultivators in the foundation building period again and again!

 This is the most powerful evidence!

 “Luo Tian will leave it to you, I’m very relieved.”

 “Good job!”

Without any more high-sounding words, Luo Chen gave a few words of encouragement and left Danxia Peak.

If it's too late, Tianlan's city gate will be closed, and you'll have to trouble that little old man Xu Jingnian again when you go back.

Now is the critical moment for sprinting to the middle stage of foundation building, and Luo Chen doesn't want to waste a day.

I spent a whole day out today, and I also wanted to check out the hidden dangers of Luo Tianhui.

 Only Luo Tianhui will be safe and sound.

 Only then can he concentrate on alchemy practice.

 Under the cold moonlit night, over the wasteland, a spaceship flew through the sky.

 Suddenly, Luo Chen frowned and his eyes fell not far ahead.

 Three flying eagles soared in the sky.

 The magic weapon flashes, and the murderous intention is fierce.

 A human figure, surrounded by three enemies and three flying eagles, was trapped on the left and right.

"interesting!"

“A dignified foundation-building cultivator was actually forced into such a miserable state by three Qi-refining stage monks.”

Luo Chen shook his head and had no intention of getting involved in this muddy water.

Just taking a glance, he fully mobilized the Langqi Feizhou to bypass the few people in front.

 During the flight, his eyes were firmly focused on the location of the battle group.

 He always felt that the man being besieged looked familiar.

"Huh?"

"It's him!"

Luo Chen remembered, wasn't this the scar-faced monk who sold him three incomplete magic weapons?

This person and Min Longyu were building the foundation almost at the same time. Later, he left Tianlan Immortal City without even having time to stabilize his realm.

While watching, the scarred monk seemed to be forced into a desperate situation and shouted violently.

 “Junior, you are bullying others too much!”

 “Come die!”

Before he finished speaking, a bright sword light suddenly swayed out.

The sword's light is majestic, like the sword of a god, and it is invincible.

 Under this sword, the three Qi Refining Stage monks and the three flying eagles had almost no resistance, and they were completely destroyed without even a last word.

 “Magic weapon!”

“Tsk, tsk, it’s a pity that this person seems to have only been briefly trained. With just one sword, all the spiritual power in his body was drained, and he even hurt himself.”

“But three monks in the Qi Refining stage dare to besiege the foundation-building cultivators. They really don’t know whether to live or die.”

Luo Chen could clearly see those three people.

　　Maybe he's a good player, but he's not that strong.

Even Duan Feng and Qin Liangchen from the Dahefang period were not even close, and they were roughly the same strength as Zeng Wen.

This kind of person just wants to jump over the ranks and kill the enemy. He really doesn't know whether to live or die.

Shaking his head, Luo Chen drove the flying boat and bypassed the battle group.

 Suddenly, behind.

 “Fellow Taoist Luochen, save me!”
