What do you think of Mi Junping?
Luo Chen was startled at first, why did he mention that woman so carefully?
Sikong Shoujia stared at Luo Chen nervously. He came with a mission and needed to know Luo Chen's true thoughts.
Then, he noticed that Luo Chen was looking at him more and more strangely.
There seems to be a feeling of "confidant"?
Suddenly.
"Elder Sikong, I understand you!"
you got me?
"A man born between heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time among men!"
"You are highly respected, profound, knowledgeable, and approachable. Over the years, you have made countless contributions to the gang."
"I am getting old, but I can only serve as a small butler in my alchemy hall. It is simply an insult!"
"To be honest, I, the hall master, can't stand it."
"Don't worry, if you want to kill Mi Junping, then I will definitely support you in becoming the leader of the Hall of Honors!"
no!
what are you talking about!
The first few sentences, to be honest, made Sikong Shoujia's blood boil and his eyes filled with tears.
But with that last sentence, he couldn't stand it anymore.
Luo Chen continued: "Mi Junping is a woman, with long hair and short knowledge! She is narrow-minded and harsh. The brothers in the gang have long been dissatisfied with her."
"If her father hadn't been a Foundation Establishment cultivator... So what if it were a Foundation Establishment cultivator! The Poshan Gang is everyone's gang and the alliance of our casual cultivators."
"She has no talent or virtue and is not worthy of being the leader of the hall."
"Elder Sikong, I will definitely support you in taking the position!"
"Stop it, stop it, please stop it."
Sikong Shoujia quickly covered Luo Chen's mouth. His old face was now completely white.
What is this?
Luo Chen's intention is still unfinished, it is rare to go to the fire once.
It's a pity that the other party didn't take the lead.
"No, I just want to ask you what you personally think of Mi Junping." Sikong Shojia gritted his teeth and went straight to Huanglong: "That is, if you become a Taoist couple with her..."
This time, Luo Chen covered the old man's mouth.
"Stop it!"
"I don't like women older than me!"
Sikong Shoujia didn't react. How old?
We are immortal cultivators, and our lifespan can range from one hundred and eighty years to eighteen hundred years. You tell me our age?
"Age doesn't matter, Ronaldinho. I'm here, you..."
"Then why don't you come to propose marriage?"
One sentence made Sikong Shoujia choke.
Seeing his appearance, Luo Chen felt at ease.
It was probably Mi Shuhua who sent him to find out what was going on.
If you think about it at a deeper level, you have to settle on the Chalcedony Pill.
In the past, he could only refine low-grade chalcedony pills, so Mi Shuhua didn't pay much attention to him.
Once he joked that if he never gave up, he would be his adoptive father, but Mi Shuhua didn't even take it seriously.
The reason for this is that the refining of low-grade chalcedony pills is actually not that difficult.
Given a few decades, if the alchemy hall develops well, Mi Shuhua can always support a few talents who can refine low-grade chalcedony elixirs.
But when it comes to mid-range products, it's not that simple.
Mi Shuhua has no confidence in cultivating talents who can refine the middle-grade chalcedony elixir.
As a foundation-building monk, he has to face the pressure of condensing golden elixirs, so naturally he cannot go into battle in person.
In this case, the importance of Luo Chen was completely highlighted.
Indispensable!
Therefore, Mi Shuhua is tempted now.
I want to tie Luo Chen to the Mi family ship through the simplest and most direct marriage.
But Luo Chen didn't want to.
He would rather exchange benefits and cooperate with each other, hello to me, hello to everyone.
But marriage?
What can Mi Junping bring to him?
Bring nothing!
After the marriage, it is nothing more than some resources of the Mi family, but Luo Chen can also get those things now.
For example, something as precious as the small spirit gathering array.
In comparison, the price-performance ratio of marriage is too low.
It is only beneficial to Mi Shuhua and the Mi family, but to Luo Chen, it is quite useless.
In the end, Sikong Shoujia returned without success.
After going back to report to Mi Shuhua, the other party just waved his hand casually, indicating that he would no longer dwell on the matter.
It was just a casual move.
Luo Chen should not do this and does not hinder the relationship between the two parties.
As long as the Chalcedony Pill can be refined stably, the two parties will be no different from one family.
Can Luo Chen refining the Chalcedony Pill stably?
This is nonsense!
A month later, in the alchemy raising room of the alchemy hall.
The "Big Three" accompanied Mi Shuhua and were counting the number of pills.
"Three hundred bottles of low-grade chalcedony elixir."
"One hundred bottles of medium-grade chalcedony elixir."
After getting this amount, Sikong Shoujia was obviously relieved, and Gu Caiyi was also very happy.
Compared with last month, there were twenty bottles less of the middle-grade Chalcedony Pill, but it didn’t drop too much.
Mainly because for a period of time, Luo Chen hid in the inner city and did not come to the alchemy hall to refine elixirs.
After receiving this amount, Mi Shuhua couldn't help but nod.
"You guys did a great job!"
"Especially Luo Chen, his alchemy skills have stabilized."
Luo Chen was counting the spiritual stones beside him!
That's what Mi Shuhua brought over just now. It's his dividend last month.
A total of one thousand three hundred yuan, which is really a huge sum of money.
If he added his original savings, Luo Chen's savings would once again be restored to two thousand five thousand.
Moreover, at Chenyue Food Stall and Mixue Bingcheng, the income from last month has not been settled yet.
Although the settlement has not yet been settled, Luo Chen has an idea of how much he can earn with the raw materials and sales volume data.
If settled, his deposit will exceed 3,000 for the first time!
Perhaps compared with some ninth-level monks who have been practicing Qi refining for many years, it is still a little less.
But Luo Chen's consumption has never stopped in the past month.
Whether it was purchasing additional dust-transforming pills or soothing incense, a lot of spiritual stones were spent.
At the milk tea shop, six to seven hundred spirit stones were invested.
In general, every piece of spiritual stone has been used on the blade.
Hearing Mi Shuhua's compliment, Luo Chen smiled naively.
Put the spirit stones, four bottles of Chenchen Pills, and a box of soothing incense into the storage bag.
Luo Chen rubbed his hands and took advantage of Mi Shuhua's good mood to ask some questions about practice.
"You mean pure spiritual power?"
Mi Shuhua stroked his beard, and his spiritual consciousness swept over Luo Chen. He was still at the seventh level of Qi training.
He smiled and said: "Purifying spiritual power in the later stages of Qi training is not something that happens overnight, and there is no trick. It just relies on hard work."
"Is there really no trick?" Luo Chen refused to give up.
The progress of his cultivation can be seen with the naked eye every day.
But when it comes to spiritual purity, there is not much progress.
He discovered this problem accidentally when he was familiar with magic in the back mountain.
Zhou Yuanli only needed a small amount of pure spiritual power to cast the same ordinary spell.
He has to continuously inject a large amount of spiritual power. Although the speed is very fast, the power is almost the same.
The difference lies in the purity of their spiritual energy.
His spiritual power is too vain.
Perhaps because he has been relying on elixirs to practice, although Luo Chen's total spiritual power is far higher than that of the same level, the consumption of spells is also greater.
After hearing Luo Chen's questioning, Mi Shuhua pondered for a while.
"Actually, it's not that there are no tricks, but I'm afraid you won't be able to use this trick now."
"Huh? Please speak up!"
"Kung Fu!"
Mi Shuhua looked at Luo Chen and softly uttered two words.
"All Qi refining period exercises, as long as they involve the later stages, will more or less actively purify spiritual power."
"But this effect depends on the grade of the technique."
"What you are practicing now is the Changchun Kung Fu, and this technique comes from the Yaowang Sect."
He shook his head, "It is said that Changchun Gong was born out of the Medicine King Sect's Evergreen Sutra. It only absorbed the continuous characteristics of the Sutra. But the most famous evergreen characteristics of the Sutra, it did not. Stay in Changchun Gong.”
"And this evergreen characteristic, at the level of Qi refining, is pure spiritual power. After completion, the spiritual power will be as green as green and full of vitality. Even when the end is approaching, the spiritual power will be extremely pure, and it can even keep the appearance forever. .”
Listening to this explanation, Luo Chen had a headache.
When it comes to natal skills, he has no choice.
You can't just change to a technique that's good at purifying spiritual power now, right?
However, Mi Shuhua's next words also wiped out this last luck.
"Actually, most of the exercises accessible to casual cultivators, or those circulated on the market, were simplified and simplified by various major sects before being spread."
"Almost all their core characteristics have been removed from these simplified techniques."
Luo Chen was shocked, "Then after our casual cultivators are lucky enough to break through the foundation building, how will we solve the natal skills in the foundation building period?"
Mi Shuhua smiled bitterly, "How else can we solve the problem? Go shopping on the black market, buy at the auction, or try your luck in the secret realm."
Luo Chen frowned, "In that case, I'm afraid that the technique I got is not so in line with my spiritual roots, right?"
Mi Shuhua sighed and agreed with Luo Chen's guess.
Seeing that Luo Chen was still frowning, he comforted him:
"Actually, you don't have to worry. Pure spiritual power is a matter of the entire late stage of Qi refining. Only the disciples of large sects will purify it when they first enter the late stage of Qi refining."
"For example, many of us casual cultivators only start thinking about this matter after they have been promoted to the ninth level of Qi Refining."
"Even without those good skills, if you practice day by day, you can always develop pure spiritual power."
Whether the spiritual power is pure or not does not have that big an impact on combat at the same level.
After all, many people rely on magic weapons to fight.
As long as you make sure your spiritual power is enough to control the magic weapon, there really is no difference between purity and emptiness.
But this has some influence on Luo Chen, who is better at spell combat.
Moreover, from the "Qi Refining Experience" that Mi Shuhua gave him originally, he also knew that in addition to the Foundation Establishment Pill, the purity of the monk's spiritual power was also the most critical point in breaking through the Foundation Establishment.
That's why he started to worry about this matter at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
But even Mi Shuhua couldn't give him good help.
"If that doesn't work, let's wait until the auction starts next year and take a look at the items in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion!"
"Huh?" Luo Chen suddenly raised his head.
….
…
"The Medicine King Sect is the main alchemy sect in the entire thirty-six regions of the Eastern Wasteland. Although it cannot compare with the Mingyuan Sect with the Alchemy Sage in terms of high-level elixirs, it is still superior to the low-level elixirs."
"And if we narrow the scope to the Six Far Eastern Regions, then as long as it is related to elixirs, it is almost impossible to escape the Yaowang Sect."
"Almost as long as it is a pill related to cultivation, Yaowang Sect will be involved in it."
Facing Luo Chen's expectant gaze, Mi Shuhua talked eloquently.
"And for purifying spiritual power, they also have a specially made elixir - Elf Pill."
As soon as the name came out, Luo Chen immediately understood its effect.
Elf Pill, a pill with pure spiritual energy.
"This elixir is divided into levels one to three, which is enough for monks in the three realms of Qi refining, foundation building, and golden elixir."
"But because most of the sect's monks' techniques have purification effects, the sales volume of Elf Pills is not very good. The Yao King Sect also mostly exports them to areas outside the Eastern Wasteland for sale."
"At the last auction, they didn't auction the elf pill."
"But I remember that once before, the Spirit Medicine Pavilion took out five bottles of second-level elf pills. Maybe next year, they will also take out a few bottles for auction."
Luo Chen asked curiously: Can I use the second-level elf pill? "
"It is not recommended to use it, so you'd better hope that they can come up with a first-level elf pill for the Qi refining period!"
Mi Shuhua smiled. Seeing that Luo Chen had expectations, he was no longer so depressed and he breathed a sigh of relief.
We can't let this sweetheart be in a bad mood!
"By the way, I have some news about the Shanxiu who robbed and killed you."
"I will give you an explanation when the time comes."
Before leaving, Mi Shuhua gave Luo Chen good news.
For an enemy who had attacked and killed him head-on, if the enemy never showed up, Luo Chen would feel a little worried.
But unless the casual cultivator really runs into the mountains, he will always show up in front of others.
Especially low-level monks!
The deep mountains and swamps are inaccessible, and high-level monsters are everywhere.
The big sect is looked down upon by others and cannot even be treated as a vassal.
As for going to the mortal world to mess around, that's even more impossible.
In fact, after staying in Fangshi for a long time, Luo Chen also had doubts when he saw that many old and feeble monks were still struggling and did not go to the mortal world to enjoy themselves.
Later, it was Wang Yuan who explained to him personally.
Monks cannot stay in the mortal world for long.
This is an ironclad order and an unspoken rule.
As for the real reason, Wang Yuan did not explain clearly. Anyway, he said that monks cannot live in the mortal world for a long time.
Therefore, it was expected that he would show up after more than a month.
He even hid for a little longer than Luo Chen expected.
It would be best if Mi Shuhua could bring that guy's head in front of him.
Even if he didn't mention it now, Luo Chen felt relatively at ease knowing that the other party was active in Snow Lotus Square.
Mi Shuhua left, and today's work came to an end.
The rest is just some trivial matters such as replenishing medicinal materials and cleaning the alchemy furnace.
Luo Chen didn't have to worry about these things, Gu Caiyi would arrange them for him.
After saying hello, Luo Chen returned to the inner city under the escort of bodyguards.
It was still early, so he took a detour to Baishi Square.
Yuan Xiaoyue said hello to him and made an appointment to go to the courtyard later to settle last month's accounts.
As for the milk tea shop, Luo Chen was surprised.
"Duan Feng, why are you here?"
Ahem.
Duan Feng coughed and rested for more than a month. Most of his injuries have recovered.
However, because his internal organs were injured and the cold air remained for too long, some sequelae were left in his lungs.
I would cough from time to time.
"I feel almost well. Let's go out for a walk and help Sister Xia with some chores."
"That's great, but I don't have the spiritual stone to pay you a salary."
Duan Feng twitched the corner of his mouth and didn't care about these things.
Feng Xia walked out of the small door and said, "There is still a few things to finish, so we have to wait a while."
"It's okay. You guys are busy first while I take a stroll."
Luo Chen was bored and walked to the opposite side of Baishi Square.
Near that piece of jade, there were already many buildings.
The registration points, gambling houses, and restaurants all serving Luofengshan Taoist Platform have begun to take shape.
He looked up at the jade. In addition to the number of battles tomorrow, there was also a separate list.
The first one on the list is the foundation building list.
However, there are only a few names on the list.
The only person Luo Chen knew was a foundation-building monk named Nangong Jin.
The reason why I know him is because when I was choosing a milk source, I learned that the Nangong family raised a group of Fu Zhu Lu, so I learned more about this family.
"Ranked third, who did you lose to?"
Shaking his head, Luo Chen looked at the Qi Refining Period list with great interest.
The person ranked first, coincidentally, is also named Nangong.
Nangong Qin, ninth level of Qi refining!
With the blessing of spiritual eyes, a series of achievements appeared behind the name.
He won by so and so, lost by so and so, and Duan Feng's name was actually included in the record.
He and Nangong Qin dueled twice in total, winning one and losing the other.
Apart from Nangong Qin, the others below are Li Ao and Yan Mingyao
It wasn't until ninth place that I discovered Duan Feng's name.
"Last month I fought tooth and nail to keep my place in the top three, but after just one month of recovery, my ranking dropped to ninth."
"Tsk tsk, the competition for rankings in this Taoist forum is quite fierce!"
"I don't know what ranking I would get if I participated in the war."
In recent times, Luo Chen has become extremely familiar with the magic weapon on his hand.
On offense, there are high-grade magical weapons such as the Fire Point Spear, Soul-Breaking Nails, and Jasper Knife.
In terms of defense, there are four elephant cauldrons and high-grade robes.
The flying magic weapon and the snowboard are barely usable.
However, in terms of movement, he relies more on the high-grade magic weapon Stepping on the Cloud Boots, as well as his Xiaoyaoyou and Wind Control Techniques.
In addition to these, he also has the God-losing Bell and thousands of waste chalcedony beads.
And these are just external objects.
His most powerful thing is his magic.
"However, my combat experience with monks is still too little. On the forum where the environment is limited, I am afraid that after using many methods once or twice, the enemy will be protected."
"Perhaps I can consider finding some less powerful monks on the list to challenge me in the future, so as to sharpen my combat experience?"
For a time, he was not only eager to try it.
As for monks participating in the battle in the later stage of Qi refining, they need to bet on a magic weapon.
He wasn't worried at all. He still had a few low-grade magic weapons that he didn't need, which he could use for betting.
Luo Chen actually knew very well that blindly practicing hard was not appropriate.
No matter how much wealth you accumulate, if your enemy is defeated one day, your wealth will be taken away by others.
Even if he saved his life, all his efforts were in vain.
Appropriate training and protection methods are also necessary.
Although I usually find some monsters to train myself, to be honest, the first-level monsters really don't have much intelligence.
Even some of the more powerful ones only act on instinct.
For things like the art of protecting the Tao, you still have to find human monks to fight, and the number is increasing rapidly.
Moreover, Mi Shuhua also mentioned something today, that is, the spiritual power and purity of monks who often fight are usually much stronger than those of ascetic cultivators.
It can be seen that fighting can also play a role in some pure spiritual power.
But this matter is not urgent, we will talk about it later when we have time.
Luo Chen watched for a while, then returned home with Yuan Xiaoyue and Feng Xia who had finished work.
In the yard, he settled last month's accounts with the two of them.
The income of Chenyue's snack stall was very stable, still around six hundred spirit stones. He gave Yuan Xiaoyue sixty spirit stones, and she went home happily.
Luo Chen was very surprised at the milk tea shop.
In the first month, the gross income was more than 500 spiritual stones.
After deducting more than one hundred costs, including raw materials and rent, there are still four hundred left.
Luo Chen took away the three hundred and three and pushed the seventy spiritual stones to Feng Xia opposite.
"So many?" Feng Xia was a little surprised.
Luo Chen smiled slightly and said, "It's not much. The fixed salary is based on the fifty yuan you received when you were at Baicaotang. The extra twenty yuan is your dividend."
After all, Feng Xia was a late-stage cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining. She was hired for a month and was only given 70 spirit stones.
I have to say that Luo Chen is still very satisfied.
"In the future, the business of the store will only get better and better, and Sister Xia, you will also be able to get more spiritual stones."
Feng Xia happily accepted the spirit stones.
Touching the spirit stone, Feng Xia hesitated for a while and said: "Actually, sometimes there are too many people and I can't handle it. Otherwise, I might have made more last month."
"I know this, so I said a long time ago that we can recruit another person after you get familiar with it." Luo Chen nodded.
"What do you think of Xiao Duan?"
Hearing Duan Feng's name, Luo Chen didn't react for a while.
Feng Xia sighed, "Instead of waiting for him to recover from his injuries and go to fight for life and death on the Taoist platform, it is better to sell milk tea safely in the store. The neighbors in the courtyard have come and gone over the years, and they have changed a lot. Xiao Duan looks indifferent, but he is actually a very nice person, and I don’t want him to die on the Taoist forum.”
Luo Chen blinked, Sister Xia, is this really the case?
However, he didn't expose it and said with a smile: "I don't mind if Xiao Duan is willing. But he doesn't get any bonuses. He only has a fixed salary of fifty spiritual stones per month."
"Fifty is not a lot. If he saves for a few years, he can open a small shop that repairs magical instruments. Well, he is very experienced in repairing magical instruments."
As she talked, Feng Xia agreed with her own thoughts.
However, this matter was rejected by Duan Feng before Luo Chen left the next day.
"Until the injury heals, I will help Sister Xia sell milk tea."
"I don't want the spirit stone."
"After I recover from my injury, I will still go to the forum to hone myself."
This was his reply. Feng Xia couldn't force it, and Luo Chen naturally didn't refuse.
There’s one more person working for free!
When leaving the city, Luo Chen suddenly remembered something.
The fluctuations in spiritual power on Duan Feng's body are obviously not much different from before, but as he gradually recovers from his injuries, why does he feel so much stronger than before?
"Could it be that he is using the Taoist Forum to fight to purify his spiritual power in the later stage of Qi refining?"
Inexplicably, Luo Chen thought of this.
If this is really the case, maybe he should really consider taking the time to go on stage and play a few games.
