A generous act indeed.
Twenty bottles of Chenchen Dan and four thousand spirit stones.
Ten boxes of soothing incense and twelve hundred spiritual stones.
Added up, it’s over five thousand.
You can buy any high-grade magic weapon, even if it is the best magic weapon, you can try to get it.
What Liu Hecai admired was that at first he was just a small cultivator who had to grind his teeth for dozens of spiritual stones, but now he could produce five thousand spiritual stones without blushing or panting.
This shows how high Fang's alchemy attainments are, and he has accumulated such a huge net worth in a short period of time.
Little did he know that this was almost all of Luo Chen's current wealth.
After buying this batch of cultivation resources, he only had more than a hundred scattered spiritual stones left on him.
"I can't help it. For the sake of cultivation, I made Shopkeeper Liu laugh." Luo Chen said with emotion.
Liu Hecai seemed to understand something. He waved his hand to the maid and gave some instructions.
Soon, the other party sent the corresponding elixir.
The maid even glanced at Luo Chen a few times, as if she wanted to remember his face in her heart.
After Luo Chen paid the spirit stone, Liu Hecai said with a smile: "You see that Dahefang has been in chaos recently, so think about the future!"
"You have such a sharp eye, I really can't hide anything from you!"
Luo Chen flattered others without asking for money. He also wanted to know some high-level news from this sect foundation builder.
Liu Hecai was quite happy in his flattery.
"Actually, there's no need to worry so much."
"Oh, how do you say this?"
There really is inside information!
"It's a very simple reason. It's impossible for the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect to keep Dahefang in chaos."
This sentence alone made Luo Chen stunned.
Yes, Dahefang is not a small city, but a large city close to the Million Mountains in the Eastern Wasteland.
Rich in resources and broad prospects.
From the fact that the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect has arranged more and more industries here, it can be seen that they attach great importance to Dahefang City.
Being in the middle of the game, I don't see it so transparently.
Seeing Luo Chen's sudden realization, Liu Hecai chuckled and said: "You, the low-level monks, only see the chaos on the surface. But this time, the chaos is actually directed at the foundation-building monks, and even those who enter and leave the Eastern Barren Mountains. Golden elixir monk.”
There are millions of mountains in the Eastern Wasteland, and they are extremely rich in resources.
Naturally, it is impossible for only Qi Refining and Casual Cultivators to make a living there.
Normally, there would be foundation-building monks coming in and out.
From time to time, there are also some golden elixir monks who go there personally for certain medicinal materials, ores, and monsters.
This can be seen from the resources in Dahefang's auction that focus on building foundation pills.
"It's impossible for the Golden Pill Master of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect to live in a place with first-level spiritual veins forever, right?"
"Um."
"Then he will definitely leave, and he will naturally clean up the mess before leaving. So, you don't have to worry so much."
While speaking, his eyes fell on Luo Chen's pile of boxes and jade bottles.
There was a hint of joking in his eyes.
Gan!
Why didn't you tell me earlier? I paid all the spiritual stones.
Luo Chen really wanted to scold the profiteer, but considering that the other party was willing to point out these things to him, he couldn't.
After leaving the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, Luo Chen once wondered if he looked like some of the people on Earth who were rushing to buy salt.
On the way to Xieyue Valley, Luo Chen sorted out the recent chaos in Dahefang based on shopkeeper Liu's words.
Ultimately, a series of conjectures were drawn.
The chaos started after the arrival of Jindan Master Pang Renxiong.
Among them, the inaction of the law enforcement team has contributed to the situation.
In addition, the rewards from the Taoist Forum have increased, which is also a point worth pondering.
Looking at it this way, this situation was caused by Master Jindan.
His purpose is actually very easy to guess.
The death of Fei Bowen!
The person who built the foundation in Ailao Mountain died in Dahefang in the later stage.
According to the disciples of Xianzhuju, the cause of Fei Bowen's death was magic sword pills, and the finger pointed directly at the Jade Cauldron Sword Cultivator, and even pointed at Pang Renxiong, the person with the highest level in Fang City at the time.
Because only he has magic weapon level sword pills.
For this reason, the Supreme Elder of Ailao Mountain went to the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect to seek explanation.
Luo Chen didn't know why the Jindan Sect dared to ask the Yuanying Sect for explanation.
He could only understand it as that there were constraints between the sects, and it was not just about fighting and killing.
In particular, Ailao Mountain is considered to be powerful in the Jade Cauldron Territory. Their handiwork was involved in the construction of most of the fairy cities in the city.
When all the Supreme Elders are dispatched, the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect will definitely give a response.
This response came a little late, half a year later.
Of course, half a year is only for Qi Refining monks.
For those golden elixir masters who often live for ten years or a hundred years, it may be just a retreat.
Half a year later, Pang Renxiong returned to Dahefang again, causing chaos.
Perhaps he wanted to fish in troubled waters and find the real culprit.
Or maybe it was just a show to Ailaoshan.
Anyway, he came and tried his best.
When the time comes, it won't matter whether the real murderer is found or not.
"If things develop like this, then the chaos in Dahefang really won't last long?"
Luo Chen was dubious about his guess.
However, he suddenly thought of another question.
Is this "not too long" for Qi refining monks, or for the foundation-building elixir?
The two concepts of time are not the same!
"In short, I will definitely not lose money when I buy these cultivation resources."
Pills and soothing incense are things that Luo Chen can use.
Chaos or not, he uses it every day.
The salary given to him by the Poshan Gang was only four bottles a month, and he originally had to replenish two bottles every month.
Now I just bought some more.
"Anyway, there is no interest in leaving the spirit stone there. It's just a different way to accompany me."
Luo Chen muttered when he thought about the interest.
How come there are no big banks in the world of cultivation?
There are still pawnshops and banks in mortal countries!
When he started to think about this, it meant that Luo Chen's tense mind relaxed a little.
But in the days that followed, his work attitude was still much better than before.
….
"The hall master seems to be very serious lately?"
"Huh? Isn't he always serious?"
"No, no, no. Although I was very serious in the past, I didn't take it so seriously when refining the elixir. Even if a furnace of materials is wasted, it won't be taken seriously."
"Oh, you said so, it seems so?"
As his realm deepened, Luo Chen's spiritual sense became more and more acute.
He could vaguely hear some conversations that did not require sound transmission.
serious?
Nonsense, how could he not be serious!
All his savings were used up, and Luo Chen was more anxious than anyone else.
That was his savings to purchase the Foundation Establishment Pill after the ninth level of Qi Refining.
In this life, except when I was at the third or fourth level of Qi Refining, I have never been so strapped for money.
Even though he knew that the five thousand two hundred spirit stones had accompanied him in a different way, Luo Chen still felt a little anxious.
Therefore, he has worked harder than anyone else in his recent alchemy work.
Not only that, he also started to pay attention to the cultivation of rice grains and Tangquan.
If the two of them can refining Bigu Powder and Zhongmiao Pills stably, he can also get a share of the profits in the future.
It's a pity that the two of them have average alchemy talents.
Under Luo Chen's personal guidance, Tang Quan has yet to independently refine the low-grade Zhongmiao Pills.
Bigu Powder is simple, but rice grains can only produce low-quality powder.
Luo Chen didn't bother to sell it, so he simply used it as welfare and distributed it to the internal monks in the alchemy hall.
"By the way, why haven't last month's dividends come out yet?"
Luo Chen caught Sikong Shoujia and asked.
Sikong Shoujia was confused, "It's not even the beginning of the month yet!"
"Then I don't care. I'm short of spiritual stones recently."
"There's nothing I can do about it! You have to go find Mi Junping about this."
Luo Chen frowned. It was not customary to advance dividends in advance.
After thinking about it, his eyes lit up.
"Come on, don't rush to get off work today. Let's take stock of the number of pills produced this month."
It doesn’t take much effort to take inventory of elixirs, Sikong Shoujia does it all by himself.
Together with Gu Caiyi, the three of them entered the alchemy room together.
After a while, the number of pills was displayed in front of the three people.
Sikong Shoujia hesitated and said: "One thousand six hundred middle-grade chalcedony pills, and more than two thousand four hundred low-grade chalcedony pills? Is that the number?"
"Yes, that's the number!" Gu Caiyi nodded heavily.
The two looked at each other with a sense of disbelief.
Without him, based on the selling price of a bottle of medium-grade chalcedony pill for fifty spiritual stones and a bottle of low-grade chalcedony for ten spiritual stones, this month's gross profit has already exceeded ten thousand spiritual stones.
This is the first time that it has exceeded the 10,000 mark!
No wonder they were so shocked.
"Okay, give me the account book!"
Luo Chen grabbed the account book and walked out.
Behind him, Gu Caiyi and Sikong Shoujia were still a little bit unconscious.
Luo Chen only worked hard for a month, but the yield of the elixir has increased so much?
The gross profit has exceeded 10,000 yuan. After deducting the cost, how much will Luo Chen get?
Sikong Shoujia's eyes turned red when he thought about the spiritual stones that Luo Chen could get next month.
He has never made so much money in his life.
Gu Caiyi could only sigh with emotion, he is indeed an alchemist!
As for Luo Chen, next month?
No, this month!
…
"I can understand that you want to advance last month's dividend. It's just a matter of a day or two anyway."
“But, this month’s dividend?”
Mi Junping's eyes widened, "You haven't even sold the pills you made this month!"
"It's not like it can't be sold."
"no!"
"Then I am still the only alchemist in the gang, don't I have this privilege?"
"Or not!"
Snapped!
The account book was placed directly on the table, and Luo Chen pointed to the page he had already opened.
"Based on this month's results, you can decide whether it's okay or not!"
Mi Junping looked over, and when she saw the number, she looked at Luo Chen in surprise.
"Are you sure it's not fake?"
"cut……"
Luo Chen didn't even bother to explain.
Mi Junping hesitated, but Mi Shuhua said that it would not be good to offend Luo Chen too much.
Now that Luo Chen's work achievements are so outstanding, she seems to be reluctant to return to him again and again.
"You wait a day, I have to ask my father."
Luo Chen said helplessly: "Your father is also a foundation-building monk after all. Can't I prepare a few more transmission notes for you? It's a big deal, and you have to run around."
Mi Junping also gave him a speechless look, "How far can a teleportation note fly?"
After saying that, she hurried out of the door.
Luo Chen had no choice but to wait for one day.
He really hopes that this can happen and become a routine!
As an alchemist, there is no reason for him to have to pay a month's salary.
As for the pressure to recover funds?
That was a matter of the Poshan Gang, what did it have to do with him.
Moreover, Mi Shuhua was very wealthy and had no shortage of these three melons and two dates.
…
…
At the Haoyue Hall meeting at the beginning of the month, Luo Chen didn't go, and neither did Mi Junping.
The two met directly in the alchemy raising room of the alchemy hall.
"See, I didn't lie to you!"
After counting the number of chalcedony pills again, Mi Junping was still in a daze.
One thousand six hundred medium-grade chalcedony pills, compared to the previous month which was only a little over one thousand, an increase of almost 50%.
Luo Chen's alchemy attainments improved so quickly.
Taking a deep breath, she took out the spirit stone from her storage bag and handed it to Luo Chen.
"Why are there only a few pieces...ah!"
Luo Chen looked at the thirty crystal-clear, gem-like spiritual stones and hesitated and asked, "Mid-grade spiritual stones?"
"right!"
Mi Junping said helplessly: "There are not that many low-grade spiritual stones in the gang. They are mainly used to settle the salaries of low-level casual cultivators. You need so much in one breath, so I can only give you medium-grade spiritual stones."
"But my two months of dividends add up to over three thousand, right?"
Mi Junping looked at Luo Chen as if he were an idiot, "Mid-grade spiritual stones have a premium. If you think it's not cost-effective, you can exchange them for low-grade spiritual stones on the black market. I promise, it won't be less than your two-month dividend." .”
Snapped!
Luo Chen patted his head, but he had forgotten about this incident.
Common sense in the world of immortality, the hundred-digit system of spiritual stones.
But in actual operation, one middle-grade spiritual stone is definitely worth more than one hundred low-grade spiritual stones.
As for the principle, Luo Chen doesn't know yet, but this is indeed the case on the market.
There are also people in the black market who specifically target casual cultivators and do this kind of exchange business.
Casual cultivators who occasionally get mid-grade spiritual stones are happy to exchange them on the black market just to get a few more low-grade spiritual stones.
The dividend issue was resolved, and Luo Chen was very happy.
"I hope that after the elixir is produced this month, the settlement can be made in advance."
"Then I also hope that your alchemy attainments will become more and more profound, or at least remain stable."
After leaving these words, Mi Junping left in a hurry.
Looking at her leaving back, Luo Chen shrugged, but he wanted to get deeper and deeper.
However, once the Chalcedony Pill reaches the Grandmaster level, it will be impossible to achieve Great Consummation in a short time without being able to refine high-quality pills on a large scale.
Don’t you see that Zhongmiaowan, which has been at the master level for a long time, is still stuck at more than 700 proficiency levels?
Sometimes, he still wants to know what effect the best pills can have.
After Mi Junping left, Luo Chen yawned in front of everyone and returned to the stone house.
At the beginning of today, it was the day to count the quantity of elixirs, material losses, and replenish raw materials at the same time.
All in all, it was also a rare holiday in the Alchemy Hall, as most of the people were on holiday.
Luo Chen doesn't need to refine elixirs. He plans to use this time to improve his proficiency in those spells.
The Wind Control Technique is about to reach perfection!
…
Half a month later, the night was dark and dark in the mountains.
In the sky, among the clouds, Luo Chen was quite surprised.
"Is this the Dzogchen Wind Control Technique?"
He did not expect that the speed of Dzogchen's Wind Control Technique did not increase much, but he could barely control the clouds.
You must know that driving clouds is one of the representative methods of foundation-building monks.
Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to release spiritual consciousness and supplement it with special techniques to fly on the clouds.
However, the speed of flying clouds is only faster than that of the Royal Envoy's flying magic weapon, and cannot be compared with the magic weapon. Therefore, many foundation-building monks do not use this method.
But he didn't expect that after Luo Chen completed the Wind Control Technique, he would be able to ride on the clouds.
"It seems like, it's more than that?"
Luo Chen's eyes fell on the attribute panel, and he suddenly discovered that the name of Yufengjue had changed, and the Xiaoyaoyou in the martial arts column was gone.
The two merged into one and got a new name.
【Xiaoyao Yufeng】
"New spell?"
With a thought in his mind, Luo Chen activated the spirit technique of the Wind Control Technique, and instantly felt different from usual.
In the past, the flying brought about by the Wind Control Technique was not actually controlling the wind of nature, but stimulating the spiritual power in one's own body to wrap one's own flight.
Whether it is flight height, speed, or duration, it is extremely limited.
After Luo Chen was still at the perfect level, his speed increased to the normal speed of the magic weapon.
After reaching the Grandmaster level, the speed exceeds that of most flying magical weapons, and is even no worse than some attacking magical weapons that are famous for their escape speed.
But now, he really felt like the breeze was carrying him flying.
call! call! call!
This is the true way of riding the wind!
Excited, Luo Chen increased his spiritual power output, and a strong wind surged in.
His body suddenly flew out like an arrow from a string.
"The direction is wrong. I don't want to go deep into the Xiaoyue Mountains."
Luo Chen changed direction and began to circle around Changyin Mountain.
As he flew, monster beasts roared three times in succession.
"The noise is a bit loud!"
Luo Chen chuckled and quietly landed on the familiar mountainside.
"But this speed is twice as fast as my previous speed! I'm afraid it's completely comparable to the flying speed of a Foundation Establishment monk."
If he was still unsure before, Luo Chen was now certain that his speed had indeed reached the level of the foundation building stage.
And this change lies not only in the Dzogchen of Yufeng Jue, but also in its active integration with the Dzogchen's Happy Journey.
After the two spells are fused, Luo Chen can control the wind in nature.
"But why is there no proficiency display for new spells?"
In the panel, Xiaoyao Yufeng has reached the Great Perfection and can no longer continue to increase his proficiency.
“Maybe that’s the upper limit.”
After all, it's just a first-level spell fused with worldly light skills, so the upper limit can't be that high.
Luo Chen was already very satisfied, which meant that he had another means of self-protection.
In the future, as long as the foundation-building monks don't attack him, he will be invincible.
…
With the addition of a strong means of self-protection, Luo Chen would be much more relaxed next time.
Whether it's cultivation, refining elixirs, or practicing spells, everything is in order.
Time flies by, and two months fly by.
Luo Chen received another 1,700 and 1,800 pill dividends respectively, plus eight bottles of dust-resolving pills and two boxes of soothing incense.
On the other hand, the business of the two snack bars is getting worse day by day.
After two months, I only earned less than a thousand spiritual stones in total.
It's a pity that Feng Xia's name of Mixue Bingcheng was about to die out just a short time ago.
Luo Chen had already been mentally prepared for this.
When the current situation is chaotic, the monks no longer indulge in enjoyment.
They are more willing to spend their spiritual stones on purchasing cultivation resources and even magic tools, talismans, and seals.
Even a few spiritual stones that you usually don't care about have become extremely valuable now.
Luo Chen had been waiting for the chaos in Dahefang to end, but he didn't expect it to get worse.
The chaos in the outer city has reached the point where it is unsafe even in broad daylight.
A few days ago, more than twenty houses were burned down in the southeastern district, and the huge fire almost lit up the entire night sky.
Arson!
This was a serious crime that used to lead to imprisonment or hanging on the head.
But this time, the law enforcement team did not say anything except sending people to put out the fire.
The inner city is not as safe as imagined.
Especially the area north of the city where Luo Chen and the others were located.
Qin Liangchen took action himself and caught a thief.
I wanted to break into the house and steal something while there was no one in the yard during the day.
However, most wealthy monks have storage bags with their belongings inside.
It is even more impossible for a poor monk to have any belongings. With a few magical weapons and a robe, he can be called alone.
The thief was also unlucky. When he met Qin Liangchen who was meditating at home, he was beaten up and knocked unconscious.
Later, it was handed over to the law enforcement team, and they were told that it would be thrown into Stanley to be rehabilitated.
As for what the real situation will be, who knows?
Only now did Luo Chen realize how correct his judgment was!
When shopkeeper Liu said "it won't be too long", he was basically looking at it based on the time standards of the monks who built the foundation elixir.
For their Qi Refining cultivators, the three months of chaos were already overwhelming.
If this continues, Dahefang will become uninhabitable and unsuitable for practice.
The casual cultivators will want to run away.
Either Taishan Fang, which is safe, or Snow Lotus Fang, which is cold but equally full of opportunities, or even Liuguang Fang, which is in a barren land, is better than the chaotic and dangerous Dahe Fang.
Recently, the prices of elixirs and magic weapons in the city have increased to varying degrees.
He bought a lot of Chenchen Pills in advance, which actually gave him a slight advantage.
"The discussion platform is closed!"
"What?"
Luo Chen, who rarely returned home, heard the news from Feng Xia.
Feng Xia said worriedly: "It is said that the Golden Pill Master is going to retreat and plans to gather the main spiritual energy of Luofeng Mountain for practice, so it will be temporarily closed for the next six months."
"Such a child's play?"
Luo Chen was extremely surprised.
When it came to the grand opening of Daotai, one can imagine how much the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect invested.
Now we just shut it down, what does this mean?
Just to give Ailaoshan an explanation, is it worth going through so much trouble?
Could it be that there is some inside story that I don’t know about?
Luo Chen was puzzled.
The gap in realm, the scarcity of connections, and the shallowness of his knowledge all restricted him from using his clever little brain to guess the truth.
He only knew that the closure of the Taoist Forum would have an extremely huge impact.
Not to mention other things, just my two small shops basically serve the thousands of viewers of the Forum every day.
Now that the Dao Forum is closed, which monk still has something to do and goes to Luofeng Mountain?
The Baishi Square commercial area close to the entrance of Luofeng Mountain will probably decline soon.
Looking at the worried Feng Xia, Luo Chen knew what she was worried about.
He could only console himself: "After paying the rent for a year, we still have to continue operating. And in the past few months, we should have cultivated some wealthy repeat customers. It should be feasible to ensure the most basic income."
It's possible, but I'm afraid I won't be able to earn many spiritual stones.
There was nothing Feng Xia could do about this.
Luo Chen also felt that a single sentence from a high-level monk might be a huge change in life for a low-level monk.
Originally, Feng Xia, Yuan Xiaoyue, and other casual cultivators in Baishi Square could earn large sums of spiritual stones by relying on the Dao Forum.
My little life was quite fulfilling.
But now, I'm afraid it will go back to the way it was before.
Moreover, the impact may not end there.
Luo Chen's eyes fell on Duan Feng, who was silent in the corner.
"Xiao Duan, what do you plan to do in the future?"
