Casual cultivator, minions, wage earner, tool man, partner!
Luo Chen's identity is constantly changing due to his efforts.
The changes in the Alchemy Hall are also going on visible to the naked eye day by day.
The group of medicine apprentices, pyrotechnics, and alchemy administrators (elixir administrators) are also becoming familiar with their roles day by day.
A month goes by in a blink of an eye.
At the end of the month, Luo Chen took the time to attend a small internal meeting of the Poshan Gang.
There were not many people attending the meeting, including him, Mi Shuhua, Mi Junping, and the leaders of the three fighting halls, Zeng Wen, Luo Wudi, and Yang Wei.
And, the two deacons of Dantang, Sikong Shoujia and Gu Caiyi.
At the meeting, it was determined that there would be ten people from each of the three battle halls. Among the ten people, one would be in the late stage of Qi refining and nine would be in the middle stage of Qi refining.
In this way, three teams were formed.
These three teams will fully serve Dantang from now on.
Conservation work, transportation work, and some procurement work.
At the meeting, Luo Wudi said something.
"I have a route in Xuelianfang City. The risk is a bit high, but if it is completed, the profit will definitely be high."
"As the saying goes, wealth can only be gained through risk, why not give it a try?"
In this regard, others are somewhat eager to try.
However, after learning about Luo Chen's current elixir output, Mi Shuhua temporarily suppressed the proposal.
"This month, the alchemy hall produced many wonderful pills, a total of nine hundred and eighty pills."
"This quantity can only barely meet the needs of Dahefang City. Even if a road is opened to Xuelianfang, we don't have a pill shop to get there."
"Besides, the bitter cold land of Xuelianfang is not half as prosperous as Dahefang, so there is no need to bother."
These are Mi Shuhua's original words.
Luo Wudi felt a pity. He also wanted to use this opportunity to let one of his brothers take the position and act independently like Wang Yuan.
The insufficient production of elixirs limited his idea.
In this regard, he could only encourage Luo Chen to make more pills.
Luo Chen chuckled and said he would work hard.
Then when the meeting ended, Luo Chen received four Qi-nourishing pills from Mi Junping, who looked pained in front of them.
Luo Wudi and Yang Wei all stared wide-eyed.
Didn’t you say that you would only be given two bottles a month?
When did that guy get a salary increase?
Are you sure Luo Chen is not Mi Shuhua's illegitimate son?
The person involved didn't care at all about their thoughts.
Just be envious, I deserve this!
Nearly a thousand wonderful pills a month, that’s four to five thousand low-grade spiritual stones!
what does that mean? You can buy forty or fifty bottles of Qi Nourishing Pills, or two high-grade magical instruments, or even a dozen low-grade magical instruments.
This is only one month.
The lifespan of a Qi Refining cultivator is at least hundreds of years.
In the long run, as long as Luo Chen continues to produce elixirs, he will bring stable and high profits to the Poshan Gang.
Therefore, Mi Shuhua and Mi Junping will pay this salary no matter how reluctant they are.
…
Under the dark night, Luo Chen sat alone on the bed.
The master-level Changchun Kung was constantly operating, and the Qi-nourishing pills in his body melted, and the huge spiritual power was continuously absorbed by him.
Finally, it merged with his own spiritual power.
This process of transformation and absorption lasted for a long time.
The feeling of fullness and fullness lasts forever.
Until Luo Chen gritted his teeth and swallowed another Qi Nourishing Pill.
"Break through the sixth level of Qi training, just today, let's break through it in one go!"
As his thoughts flickered, he continued to repeat the previous actions.
Due to the influx of new spiritual energy, the feeling of fullness and fullness became stronger and stronger, even giving the illusion of bloating.
Unknowingly, when Luo Chen finished his work and opened his eyes.
His body was already filled with fluctuations of spiritual power from the sixth level of Qi Refining.
"It's done!"
It took many years to finally reach the level of Chen Laodao.
Now, in the middle stage of Qi refining, he is also the most powerful one.
Glanced at the properties panel.
[Sixth level of Qi refining 1/100]
Luo Chen's originally happy mood suddenly became heavy.
The effect of Qi Nourishing Pill seems to be getting worse and worse.
At the third level of Qi refining, one Qi nourishing pill can increase the progress bar by two.
At the fourth level, one Qi-nourishing pill corresponds to one progress bar.
At the fifth level, almost two Qi Nourishing Pills are needed to increase the progress bar by one level.
But this time, after breaking through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, Luo Chen calculated it through the system.
He needs at least five to advance by one level.
There are only ten pills in a bottle of Qi-nourishing pills.
In other words, if he wanted to advance to the seventh level of Qi Refining, he would need at least fifty bottles of Qi Nourishing Pills.
That’s a total of five thousand low-grade spiritual stones!
Moreover, there is a limit to the number of elixirs that can be refined in one day.
"Grass! It's a plant!"
"What am I doing here to practice? I'm clearly just eating spiritual stones!"
The great rat Luochen turned into the gold-swallowing beast Luochen.
His handsome face was uncertain at the moment, and he always felt that something was wrong.
Other low-level monks don’t waste spiritual stones like him in their cultivation!
Is it because of the five spirit root qualifications?
Or is it because the Grandmaster-level Changchun Gong opens up all the meridians, causing the body to need more spiritual power to break through the realm?
Or other factors?
For a while, Luo Chen couldn't find the problem.
He only knew that he had to get as many cultivation resources as possible, and he also had to find a way to refine a few more pills a day.
Oh, one more thing.
The effect of Nourishing Qi Pill is getting worse and worse, and it seems that it is gradually developing drug resistance.
We still need to find a new elixir that can replace the Qi Nourishing Pill.
Thousands of thoughts came to my mind.
Luo Chen seemed to be used to it.
After planning step by step, Luo Chen finally got up.
"No matter what, it is a happy event to break through the sixth level of Qi Refining today."
"It's so clear!"
Holding the green gourd and drinking pineapple wine, he walked to the yard.
At this moment, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
In the small courtyard, there was silence, but there was a figure sitting on the swing, swaying one after another.
"Caiyi, haven't you slept yet?"
The moment Luo Chen came out, Gu Caiyi had already spotted him.
She just nodded slightly and still rocked the swing.
Suddenly, she blinked.
"Have you broken through the sixth level of Qi refining?"
"I was discovered by you, haha. Sure enough, no matter how low-key a genius is, even in this dark night, he is as eye-catching as the bright moon."
Luo Chen chuckled.
After thinking about it, he made a trick, and his spiritual power began to circulate along a special route.
The leaked spiritual power fluctuations are slowly recovered and enter the specially condensed spiritual power seed in the body.
In the blink of an eye, the fluctuations of spiritual energy he leaked became the level that should be expected from the fifth level of Qi refining.
Qi Condensing Spiritual Technique!
"Caiyi, look again, what state I am in!"
Gu Caiyi glanced at it, her eyes lit up, and then she said calmly: "The fifth level of Qi refining."
Sure enough, the Qi Condensing Spirit Technique is effective.
Especially in the past month, he has been practicing from time to time, and has reached the proficiency level, and can control the fluctuations of spiritual energy with a little effort.
As Luo Chen retracted and released, his spiritual energy fluctuated from time to time, making him have a great time.
After playing for a while, he felt that the atmosphere was as deserted as the moonlight.
"Caiyi, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?"
Gu Caiyi sighed, "Don't mind me. I'm just worried about your level rising so fast after joining the Poshan Gang, but my income dropped drastically."
Luo Chen was startled.
income?
Yes, Gu Caiyi's monthly income from spiritual stones in Tianxiang Tower was very good.
Especially at the opening ceremony of Lundaotai, she stole the show with her stunning dance.
In the following month, she made even more money.
But what about after leaving Tianxiang Tower?
Even if you are now the deacon of Dantang, your monthly salary is only more than one hundred spirit stones.
Sikong Shoujia also gets this salary, but don't forget that the old man also has the title of elder and will have other additional income.
A monthly income of one hundred is not bad.
In the inner city, they are almost at the level of deacons of small shops and foremen of large shops.
However, this simply cannot meet the cultivation needs of the ninth-level Qi Refining monks.
With this income, how many years and months will it take to reach Dzogchen from the ninth level of Qi refining?
When Dzogchen reaches the breakthrough of Foundation Establishment, how much time does it take to earn spiritual stones and purchase Foundation Establishment Pills?
"I'm thirty-nine years old."
"Although I have always longed to build a foundation, I know that it is a fantasy."
"But the bottle of Chenchen Dan that Fei Bowen gave me at the beginning allowed me to advance to the ninth level of Qi refining by luck. Now, I am only one step away, but I am stuck here due to lack of training resources."
"I'm not willing to give in!"
"Luo Chen, was I right or wrong to leave Tianxiang Tower?"
Listening to these murmurs, Luo Chen was speechless for a moment.
He initially joked about "supporting" the other party, and then asked Gu Caiyi to join the Poshan Gang and become the current deacon of Dantang.
But he didn't realize it until now.
The salary of the deacon of the Alchemy Hall cannot support the other party's practice at all.
Of course, this is not his responsibility in the first place. Introducing a livelihood to the other party is always a good intention and a good thing.
Regarding Gu Caiyi's confusion, Luo Chen could only say:
"Although it's not right, it's definitely not wrong. The Hua Zhuji from Tianxiang Tower has only been here for a month or two, and I heard that two or three female cultivators died in the building."
Luo Chen casually talked about these experiences, and Gu Caiyi was speechless for a while.
When Luo Chen saw this, he didn't know how to comfort him.
He and Gu Caiyi are different.
In addition to his monthly salary, he actually also has a share of the profits from the elixir.
Thinking of this, Luo Chen suddenly realized something.
Mi Shuhua and even the Poshan Gang's investment in Dantang has basically lost more and more.
In addition to a few senior officials, there were dozens of mid- to late-stage monks pointing at the Alchemy Hall to eat.
If he fails to collect his income, I am afraid that the group of people who eat with him will have problems.
Job hopping?
Looking for extra money?
Gradually, you don’t care about Dantang?
"It seems that the matter of the Chalcedony Pill cannot be delayed any longer!"
This thought flashed through Luo Chen's mind.
For others, but also for yourself!
Zhongmiaowan's profit ceiling is still too low after all.
Only chalcedony pills, which are beneficial to spiritual practice, are powerful tools for attracting gold!
…
…
Today is another day for refining alchemy.
But before opening the furnace, Luo Chen and two deacons met with three monks who were in the late stage of Qi refining.
They are the masters drawn from the three battle halls.
Specially led a team responsible for transporting Dantang elixirs to designated places for sale.
A team of thirty monks escorted only a thousand wonderful pills.
To be honest, it's a bit of a cannon to kill mosquitoes, but it's a waste of time to kill a chicken with a sledgehammer.
But this was a hard order from the gang leader, and no one raised any objections.
Luo Chen knew very well that this kind of personnel framework was not to serve Zhongmiao Pill, but to serve the future Chalcedony Pill.
After handing this batch of Zhongmiao Pills to the three of them, Luo Chen also inquired about the place where they were to be sent.
It turns out that the Poshan Gang has rented a small shop in the inner city, which they usually use to sell some scattered resources in the Guyuan Mountains.
Most of those resources were things that the major sects looked down upon, and even the Cloud Merchant Alliance looked down upon.
The Poshan Gang themselves had trouble digesting it, so they simply sold it in shops.
There are always casual practitioners who would be interested.
Now, Luo Chen's Zhongmiao Pills will also become a special product in the shop.
In addition to shops, the Sanxiu Market in the south of the city and a small shop in the outer city are also places where Zhongmiao Wan can go.
After sending these people away, Luo Chen entered the alchemy room calmly.
Gu Caiyi directed a large group of pharmacists to move various processed raw materials into the alchemy room.
The fire workers are also in place one after another.
Luo Chen waved his hand, today's elixir refining begins!
Seeing his high-spirited appearance, a group of monks doing odd jobs couldn't help but express envy.
This month's work has really made them a little numb.
Every day, the same thing is repeated.
Even the monks found it boring.
They don't know that if placed in modern society, they would be almost like assembly line employees, and they can only repeat monotonous tasks day after day.
As for the future?
Become a distinguished alchemist?
Luo Chen had never heard of an assembly line worker who rose through the ranks and became CEO.
In his case, it's obviously impossible.
Luo Chen didn't care about this. Miss Xiangxiang from Tianxiang Tower had been a firekeeper in the sect for three years.
He was just concentrating on refining the elixir.
Next to him, Mi Li was also busy, wiping Luo Chen's sweat from time to time and handing him a wine gourd.
We agreed to watch the elixir refining, but why do we feel like we have become a maid taking care of others?
Mi Li was also a little confused.
When did this situation begin?
It seems that it started when Luo Chen asked her to buy cucumbers?
Although she was heartbroken, Mi Li knew what she wanted to do.
She is trying her best to learn and imitate, but unfortunately a month has passed and there has been no progress.
When another alchemy was finished, she knew that she had learned nothing again.
When she was disappointed, the alchemy furnace was opened.
An extremely strong medicinal fragrance instantly attracted her attention.
"This is?"
A pill the size of a dragon's eye, so red that it was almost purple, shone brightly on Luo Chen's fingertips!
“High-grade Zhongmiaowan!!!”
Mi Li looked shocked and exclaimed.
The monks responsible for watching the fire all looked over.
Luo Chen looked at the high-grade elixir in his hand with a look of ecstasy, but in fact his heart was peaceful.
After refining thousands of wonderful pills last month, his proficiency has already reached the master level.
The reason why it was not shown before was because I felt that the time had not come yet.
After all, it is really shocking to refine high-grade elixirs just after joining the Poshan Gang.
But now, there is no need to hide one's clumsiness.
In order to obtain resources for cultivation, sometimes you have to be a little extravagant.
Throw that top-quality pill to Mi Li.
After the woman hurriedly took it, she saw Luo Chen fluttering into the stone house built specifically for him.
"I got something from my alchemy today. I need to stay in seclusion for three days without disturbing you!"
After saying that, the stone door slammed shut.
A layer of Yingying light waves spread out.
That was a set of first-order formations left by Mi Shuhua specifically for Dantang.
Mi Li stared at this scene blankly, and then remembered something.
Without stopping, she left the Alchemy Hall and flew towards the Mi family.
In the stone house, Luo Chen looked at this scene quietly through the mountain wall window with deep eyes.
…
"Come in, why are you in such a hurry to find me?"
Mi Shuhua woke up from the state of seclusion.
There are too many things going on in his family and gang, which have begun to delay his practice.
Recently, after finally completing the entire framework of the alchemy hall, he took the time to start a small retreat.
But it had only been two days before he was woken up by someone using telepathy.
Therefore, he looked quite unhappy at the moment.
Mi Li didn't know grandpa's displeasure, so he knelt in front of him holding the purple-red Zhongmiao Pill.
"High-quality elixir!"
"It was refined by Hall Master Luo today!"
With one move of his hand, he got the elixir.
Mi Shuhua was shocked when he saw the three purple red lines.
How long has that kid been exposed to Alchemy?
It took only ten or twenty years to refine a top-grade elixir!
This kid's talent for alchemy is so terrifying!
"Hall Master Luo said that he had some enlightenment on alchemy, so he decided to retreat for three days." Mi Li said again.
Mi Shuhua couldn't sit still at all.
"Enlightenment of Alchemy!"
"Three days of seclusion!"
"Maybe after I get out of seclusion, I can refine the chalcedony pill!"
"Yes, it can definitely be done. They are all first-level elixirs. He can make high-grade pills, but there is no reason why he can't make low-grade chalcedony pills."
Mi Shuhua kept pacing in the quiet room, mumbling something.
An old face, the expression is constantly changing due to excitement.
"Low-grade is enough, and the price does not need to be too high. Ordering a dozen or so spiritual stones will definitely trigger a frenzy for buying elixirs among the junior and middle-level monks."
"A bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill and a hundred spiritual stones are beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"As long as I can refine the Chalcedony Pill, I will have hope!"
Suddenly, he stopped.
"Let's go to the Alchemy Hall!"
"I will not allow anyone to disturb Luo Chen during these three days of retreat!"
"I'll protect him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he spread his light, rolled up the grains of rice and flew out of the Mi family's land.
…
How to spend three days?
Luo Chen stayed in the stone house, feeling a little regretful.
The thought of being stuck in this room for three days made him unable to sit still.
How pitiful God is, although it is said that monks often stay in seclusion for thousands of years.
But in fact, until now, he seems to have never practiced in seclusion for more than a whole day.
It’s not that I didn’t work hard.
But for low-level monks, due to physical and spiritual reasons, there is an upper limit for the number of times they can perform exercises every day.
Too much will lead to mental exhaustion and even various sequelae.
This predicament will not change until at least the foundation is established.
"Forget it, with the formation covering it, the spiritual sense of the foundation-building monks can't detect what I'm doing inside."
"Find something else to do!"
Luo Chen took out an animal skin from the storage bag.
Astonishingly, it was Wang Yuan who gave him the second-level elixir prescription containing the Blood Evil elixir.
I have had this thing for many days, and I occasionally read it, but unfortunately the progress is very low.
After all, it is a second-level elixir recipe.
"The main ingredients must be replaced, otherwise as soon as I start refining the elixir, I will definitely die if I am found out."
"So, what raw materials are good to use?"
"Monk essence blood? I don't know if it's possible to use monster blood."
"The Yin evil spirit of Huangquan is not easy to find. And I don't have a way to collect the evil spirit. I still have to think about it..."
Luo Chen was obsessed with studying the second-level elixir recipe for a while.
Occasionally when I wake up, I take a Bigu Pill.
When he gets tired, he will change his approach.
Or read "Qing Yuan Dan Jie" (detailed explanation of Qing Yuan Zi Dan Dao), or practice Qi Ling Ling Jue.
Occasionally, he also harms himself!
Make a small cut on your hand or something, and then use the healing spell to heal it, which is like brushing up your spell proficiency.
As for the "Chalcedony Pill" that Mi Shuhua is most concerned about?
Luo Chen didn't care at all.
That is a first-level elixir recipe, and he can use achievement points to get started at any time!
He even said that he planned to get started on the day he left the country.
In this way, three days passed by in a flash.
When the formation disappeared, Luo Chen slowly stepped out of the door.
Looking at the old man waiting outside, Luo Chen had a feeling that things were different and people were passing by.
Is this a monk's retreat?
However, after three days, he actually felt like it had been a long time ago.
If I reach a higher level in the future and truly retreat, will my life be like a waste of time and nothingness?
While he was in a trance, an old voice came to his ears.
"We have been separated for three days, and we have seen each other with admiration."
"My little friend, you have actually broken through the sixth level of Qi refining."
Before Luo Chen could say some kind words, the other party couldn't wait to ask:
"Can the Chalcedony Pill be refined?"
Luo Chen's expression froze!
Old man, please give me some face and don't speak so directly.
And I have achieved a breakthrough, shouldn’t I give you some congratulatory gifts?
I don’t mind the magical weapons, elixirs, or anything like that.
(End of chapter)
