Mi Shuhua is dead, and the destruction of the Poshan Gang is doomed.
But Miao Wen admired Luo Chen's alchemy skills and also admired Luo Chen as a person.
Therefore, he proposed to protect Luo Chen and let the two work together.
Miao literature didn’t produce many things, and it could even be said that they were stingy.
It was him who was the foundation-building true cultivator of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect!
Luo Chen is responsible for forming new forces, refining elixirs, selling them, and many other things.
After satisfying Luo Tianhui's internal consumption, he and Luo Chen split the final spiritual stone income equally.
It seemed that Luo Chen suffered a big loss.
In fact, it did suffer.
But the opportunities and benefits contained therein are long-term.
Luo Chen saw it clearly. Although it might be a bit difficult in the early stage, as long as Luo Tianhui grew bigger, he would be able to earn enough.
Moreover, with Miao Wen's reputation as a foundation-building monk, he could also expand his network and enter a higher level of circles.
Miao Wen even gave him a promise for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Allow him to participate in the opportunity to share the Foundation Establishment Pill with other Foundation Establishment forces.
There is no limit to the number of times, as long as he has enough financial resources.
This is what Mi Shuhua could not and would not give him!
Although there are no facts to prove it, it is conceivable that Mi Shuhua has been preventing other foundations from contacting Luo Chen before.
It’s a form of protection, but also a form of imprisonment.
Now that Mi Shuhua is dead, Luo Chen feels very complicated about this.
But he will never stop here, and will even take bigger and more determined steps.
Luo Chen saw it clearly.
Cooperate with Miao Wen to suffer temporary losses and enjoy long-term benefits.
Moreover, he may not necessarily suffer.
Miao Wen had no skills at all, but the elixir was produced by Luo Chen, and the sale was left to Luo Tianhui.
The space in the middle that can be operated is really too big.
Luo Chen has many ways to ensure that he deserves his share of benefits, which is far more than during the Poshan Gang period.
From then on, he could barely control his own destiny.
But in the future, he will truly and fully control his own destiny.
The establishment of Luo Tianhui is the first step!
This organization must operate with him as the core.
Then people and things related to alchemy are indispensable.
This group of monks in Xieyue Valley all come from the Alchemy Hall and the Medicine Hall, which are suitable for him.
It can be said that their joining one by one means that Luo Chen's team is becoming more and more solid.
In the end, almost all of the thirty-one low-level monks present joined the Luo Tianhui.
The reason why I say almost is that there is still one person who has not expressed his position.
Rice grains!
The girl stood alone at the end of the crowd. Her face was pale, her expression was miserable, and her eyes were filled with uncontrollable confusion.
When everyone looked at Mi Junping's daughter and Mi Shuhua's grandson, she subconsciously took a step back.
"me…"
At some point, Luo Chen had arrived in front of her.
The tall figure, with a warm smile, nodded gently to him.
"You are the granddaughter of the old gang leader. Whether you join or not, Luo Tianhui will treat you well."
Mi Li couldn't help it and suddenly cried.
"Master, I want to go home and take a look."
"I'm afraid it won't work."
A hoarse voice came, and Feng Xia looked at her with pity.
"I came from the inner city. Just yesterday at noon, the Nangong family announced that the Mi family land belongs to them from now on."
"In these two days, all the Nangong family will move there."
What a fast move!
This was the first time Luo Chen heard the news, and there was unbearable shock in his eyes.
Mi Shuhua was afraid that before his corpse was cold, the carve-up between the Mi family and the Poshan Gang had already begun.
He didn't know the rest, but at least the Mi family had established a clan for a hundred years and changed their name to Nangong.
And the Dantang that Mi Shuhua supported with one hand was also picked by Miao Wen, the foundation builder.
What about the others?
Monster hunting in Guyuan Mountains, safe mountain roads, animal farms, mines, brothels, wine shops and many other invisible industries.
Luo Chen took a deep breath and couldn't slow down his movements.
After patting the helpless girl on the shoulder, Luo Chen walked onto the boulder.
"Next, whoever's name is read, come up and receive your reward!"
A feast to divide the spoils begins.
Thirty monks in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining each received one hundred low-grade spiritual stones, plus one low-grade magic weapon each, and a bottle of elixir for practice.
No one objected to this award.
In total, there are four to five hundred spiritual stones.
For any mid-stage Qi refining monk, this is a huge amount of income.
Then, it was the turn of the later monks to share the profits.
…
In the alchemy hall, under the auspices of Luo Chen.
Liu Qiang received two thousand low-grade spiritual stones, a high-grade magic weapon, and five bottles of Qi-nourishing pills.
Gu Caiyi obtained three thousand spiritual stones, a high-grade offensive weapon, and two bottles of Chenchen Pills.
After receiving the reward, Liu Qiang couldn't help but sigh.
"It's a pity that those brothers, the handsome boy, didn't survive, otherwise they would have had their share here."
Dongfang Liang died under the siege of several enemies in the late stage of Qi refining, and his body was placed in Xianyue Valley.
The subsequent burial matters have just been decided.
Hearing Liu Qiang's sadness, Zhou Yuanli patted his shoulder and sighed.
In this battle, the Poshan Gang suffered heavy losses, as did their Alchemy Hall and Medicine Hall.
But apart from sadness, I am also more excited.
The harvest is worth thousands of spiritual stones, and those who survive will always be the happiest.
This means that there is still hope for their path, and they will even go further than before.
Luo Chen remained silent and handed a blue storage bag to Duan Feng.
After the other party opened it, there was an obvious look of surprise on his face.
"so much?"
"You worked hard last night and you deserve it."
Luo Chen said lightly, he was always generous to his friends.
In that storage bag, there were five thousand low-grade spiritual stones, a high-grade defensive magic weapon, a high-grade offensive magic weapon, and several pills for practice.
There is even a simple formation book and a set of water spells.
These are what Duan Feng needs most.
Duan Feng didn't refuse and accepted it directly.
Luo Chen looked at Granny Yuan, who showed a kind smile.
"President, can you give me an extra storage bag?"
Luo Chen smiled slightly and did not refuse. From the pile of tattered storage bags, he picked out a storage bag that was in relatively good condition and handed it over together with the portion that belonged to Granny Yuan.
As for who the extra storage bag will be given to, it's actually easy to guess.
It's just for her son Yuan Dongsheng.
Luo Chen didn't care about this. Grandma Yuan and her son had mastered the skill of spiritual cultivation, which was of great use to alchemists.
In particular, Grandma Yuan's last move was clearly the second-level spiritual plant technique, Kusanagi Gengjin Sword Technique, and she might be able to learn it in the future.
There is nothing wrong with having a good relationship now.
Finally, it was the turn of Qin Liangchen and his wife.
"Sister-in-law, this is yours."
Murong Qinglian also showed a look of surprise, five thousand spirit stones, plus high-grade magic weapons and various elixirs and seals.
After allocating these, Luo Chen bypassed Qin Liangchen and came to Zhou Yuanli.
Facing that calm face, Luo Chen praised: "In the battle the night before, you did very well, beyond my expectations."
"If it weren't for your command from the center, I'm afraid the formation would have been broken long ago."
Zhou Yuanli was neither humble nor arrogant, "That's what subordinates should do."
Luo Chen shook his head, "There is nothing wrong or wrong, especially when we finally broke through, you still insisted on protecting me. For this alone, you deserve a heavy reward."
"Five thousand spiritual stones, five bottles of dust-transforming pills, three boxes of calming incense, and a top-grade defensive robe."
"In addition, you can also choose an additional one among these magic weapons."
After hearing this extremely generous reward, Zhou Yuanli could no longer maintain his calm expression.
He took a breath and said, "President, is this too much..."
"Just take it for you!"
Luo Chen patted his shoulder and signaled him to keep up his efforts in the future.
After he finished selecting, there were still a total of ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones left, plus several high-grade magical artifacts, dozens of medium-grade and low-grade magical artifacts, elixirs, talismans, seals and other miscellaneous things.
Oh, there are also a dozen storage bags. Although they are tattered and in disarray, they are still usable.
The sum of these things was undoubtedly a huge sum of money, but Luo Chen didn't distinguish it, and no one raised any objection.
Now that Luo Tianhui has been established, there will be more places to spend money.
Moreover, everyone gets a little bit of everything.
The net worth accumulated is almost comparable to that of a normal ninth-level Qi refining monk.
It can be said that Luo Chen was very successful in "distributing meat" this time.
Even if Zhou Yuanli received a reward that did not match his realm and status, no one expressed dissatisfaction or doubt.
Luo Chen looked at this scene with satisfaction. The most taboo thing about things like dividing meat is unfairness, which can easily breed dissatisfaction.
But it’s also taboo to be too fair!
That would make some people who put in too much effort feel unworthy.
Especially when you are in a high position, you must also consider the past and the future, and you must not only consider the present.
Zhou Yuanli's loyalty has been verified.
This person will definitely be of great use to Luo Chen in the future.
Perhaps the only thing that puzzled everyone was about Qin Liangchen.
Although he did not participate in the battle of Xianyue Valley, in order to rush to help here, he fought fiercely against the monks of the Nangong family alone, and he paid the price of one hand for this.
Even the road has become elusive.
No matter what, there should be a reward for him here!
However, Luo Chen did not explain.
Instead, he sat down on the main seat.
"The Luo Tianhui has been established, so we can't really be a small force that sticks together to keep warm and fights."
"We have people, and there are people above us!"
“So, the basic hall structure must also be built!”
Looking at his thoughtful subordinates, Luo Chen felt a little uncontrollable in his ambition.
He does not intend to follow the previous structure of the Poshan Gang.
That would be too bulky, and the power would be too scattered when attacked by the enemy.
And for now, Luo Tianhui has not yet truly taken shape.
"I plan to initially build four halls, Dan, Xun, Zhan, and Jin."
"The Alchemy Hall is very simple. It is formed by merging the previous Medicine Hall with me as the main one and the surviving monks from Xieyue Valley as the supplement. This will also be the most important hall of Luo Tianhui."
"Grandma Yuan, you will be the deputy head of the Alchemy Hall from now on, okay?"
Grandma Yuan did not hesitate, smiled and nodded.
She could guess that what she would do in the future would be similar to before.
On the contrary, Murong Qinglian, the former hall master, has been kicked out. Maybe all the affairs of the medicine hall will be handed over to her.
No matter what, there are still some days left to live, so just try your best.
Let’s earn a fortune for our son Yuan Dongsheng!
"Xun Tang, no need to explain more, it is similar to the functions of the Poshan Gang before."
"The main thing is to review meritorious deeds, monk roster, rewards and punishments."
"As for the Hall of Honors, I prefer you, my sister-in-law, to be the hall leader, okay?"
Murong Qinglian was quite surprised and looked back at Qin Liangchen who had his eyes closed to rest.
The other party opened her eyes, walked around her, and looked at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen said nothing and just nodded solemnly to him.
Qin Liangchen sighed happily and nodded.
As a result, Murong Qinglian had no objection and decided on it.
In fact, it can be seen from here how much Luo Chen values Qin Liangchen and his wife.
Who was in charge of the Xutang of the Poshan Gang?
Mi Junping!
Mi Shuhua's biological daughter.
Now, Murong Qinglian has become the person Luo Chen trusts most in Luo Tianhui.
This trust does not come out of thin air.
It is accumulated bit by bit through daily interactions.
Until the battle the night before, Murong Qinglian attacked Lan Tianyun alone, and left behind these words:
"Caiyi, take Luo Chen away!"
At that moment, Luo Chen knew that his sister-in-law treated him well.
Therefore, he handed over the most important part of Luo Tianhui to the other party.
If you master this department, in a sense, you will master all the monks from top to bottom of Luo Tianhui in the future.
Their names, jobs, salaries, etc.
The leader of the Hall of Honors has a high position of power, second only to Luo Chen, the president!
"Next, it's Jintang."
Speaking of this, Luo Chen had a smile on his lips.
Others are also curious about what Jintang does?
Earn spiritual stones?
"Yes, just as you think, Jintang is used to earn spiritual stones."
"After all, no matter how many elixirs I refine, someone has to sell them, so that everyone can earn spiritual stones and buy cultivation resources suitable for themselves."
"But how to sell elixirs is also a science!"
"In the past, Gang Leader Mi Lao had a good overall view, but in terms of details, he was too poor."
"I will tell you how it will be done in detail later. Today, we will only decide on the candidate for the master."
When he said this, Luo Chen's eyes fell on the unknown Gu Caiyi.
Gu Caiyi was stunned for a moment, then stretched out a finger as white as an onion and pointed at herself.
"I?"
"Yes, it's you, our most beautiful and smartest Gu Caiyi, who takes care of everyone!"
Hearing Luo Chen's witticism, everyone laughed inexplicably.
After this smile, the air somehow became cheerful.
It seemed that the bloody memory of the tragic breakout the night before had faded a little.
Gu Caiyi twisted around uneasily, her cheeks turning red.
It's not that she is shy, she has experienced many more scenes in Tianxiang Tower than this.
What made her embarrassed was that Luo Chen praised her in front of so many people.
In particular, Murong Qinglian and Granny Yuan were all her very familiar friends.
etc!
Gu Caiyi seemed to realize something, why Luo Chen chose her to be the master of this golden hall.
"Everyone Gu used to be a small butler in my alchemy hall, but he was overqualified and underused."
Luo Chen admired: "Your real strength lies in your ability to welcome and greet others. You are also good at bargaining and getting along with others."
"This newly built Jintang is the place where your talents can truly blossom."
Luo Chen didn't mean it as a compliment.
After being together for so long, Gu Caiyi's talent indeed lies in this area.
Being able to stay in Tianxiang Tower for such a long time, still be clean and tidy, and finally leave Tianxiang Tower resolutely must be unique in terms of interpersonal communication.
Not to mention anything else, when Luo Chen moved into that courtyard.
The first person who became familiar with him was Gu Caiyi.
Even when she came to Dantang, a place she was unfamiliar with and not good at at all, Gu Caiyi tried her best to give full play to her advantages.
Winning people's hearts for Luo Chen, training internal monks, and working hard to make friends with many monks in the nearby medicine hall.
It can be said that Gu Caiyi may not be good at fighting, but she is still unique in other aspects.
After hearing what Luo Chen said, everyone was thoughtful and nodded in agreement.
Only Gu Caiyi was a little choked up.
Finally, he stood up and said firmly: "Although I don't know how Jintang will operate in the future, Caiyi will do his best not to let everyone down!"
Does this count as a military order?
Gu Caiyi, who was opposite him, suddenly winked at Luo Chen, and the two of them smiled knowingly.
"President, what about the war hall?"
Perhaps in Luo Chen's view, among the four halls, the Dan Hall is the core, the Honor Hall is the most important, the Golden Hall is also necessary, and the War Hall ranks last.
But in the eyes of monks, combat power is always the second most important thing after practice!
This can be seen from the original setup of the Poshan Gang's hall.
Among the nine halls, the Zhan Hall occupies three seats!
Moreover, most of those three counselors were Mi Shuhua's confidants, and they were all very powerful combatants.
Nowadays, Luo Tianhui cannot compare with the passed Poshan Gang.
There are only a few combat monks who can truly put themselves on the stage.
This war hall is just like a flower display.
No wonder someone couldn't help but ask.
Luo Chen also had a suspicion about this.
"We can handle the war hall affairs and what I'm going to say next together."
"Everyone knows that Luo Tianhui is currently a hollow organization. It only requires the start-up capital of 10,000 spirit stones, and it is difficult to choose just a few people."
"I may sound nice, but Xundang and Jintang are just two lonely people, my sister-in-law and Caiyi."
"Therefore, expanding manpower is Luo Tianhui's top priority!"
"Recruitment, no, recall order!"
Luo Chen looked at everyone and said solemnly: "The Poshan Gang was destroyed, but there are brothers who survived. I won't say much about the scene. What we have to do next is to use the skills of Dan Chenzi and Mi Li as much as possible. In the name of recalling those wandering monks from the Broken Mountain Gang."
In the name of Luo Chen Dan Chenzi, some people can be recalled more or less.
After all, he is a master of alchemy.
In the name of rice grains, it may not be so easy.
Mi Shuhua is dead, who else will miss the old friendship and return to the Poshan Gang?
Murong Qinglian hesitated and said: "Don't you tell the existence of that person?"
that one?
Deacon Miao Wen!
Luo Chen shook his head slowly, "We know that Luo Tianhui has him behind him, but we must not use his name."
Among the taboos, Luo Chen didn't make it clear.
But everyone can understand more or less.
Miao Wen is not a casual cultivator, but a sect monk with a heritage and a provenance.
He could use Luo Tianhui and Luo Chen to make extra money, but this kind of thing should never be brought to the table.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to explain to the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect!
I believe no one will go around shouting.
Although Dahefang is the territory of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, it is thousands of miles away from the hinterland of the sect.
Miao Wen is here, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the overlord of one side.
Who dares to touch his bad luck?
"But if this happens, we're afraid we won't be able to recall many people?" Murong Qinglian asked worriedly.
Luo Chen shook his head, "It's okay, there are just a few. We can't afford more for the time being. And..."
Looking around at everyone, Luo Chen said softly: "The most important thing is to recall those people we need!"
Someone in need?
Suddenly, a name appeared in everyone's mind.
Wang Yuan!
Seeing that everyone understood what he meant, Luo Chen stopped talking on this topic.
He also talked about some thoughts on the future development of Luo Tianhui.
The four halls are just the initial design, and new halls may be added in the future.
Moreover, at each hall, as the staff is filled up, new positions will be created.
Luo Tianhui no longer has an elder position above the hall leader.
Instead, the elders will be delegated to each hall leader and become a presence between the hall master and the deacon.
In addition, the salary of each class must also set a tone. What is the minimum amount and how the maximum should be distributed? These must be taken into consideration.
After chatting about miscellaneous things, it was already getting late.
Luo Chen stood up and said, "In the future, Xianyue Valley will temporarily become the headquarters of Luo Tianhui, and I will slowly consider the new camp."
"Everyone must be very tired. Many people have injuries to one degree or another."
"Let's adjourn the meeting today. Let's go back and have a good rest."
"On the Dantang side, I'd like to trouble Granny Yuan a little more."
Grandma Yuan smiled and nodded at Luo Chen.
After the meeting, everyone stopped staying and went home together.
Luo Chen did not stay in Xieyue Valley, but returned to the courtyard with everyone.
Late at night, watching Gu Cai fall asleep with the healing elixir under her clothes, Luo Chen closed the door for her.
Looking back, under the moonlight, there was a slightly lonely back figure.
Luo Chen walked forward with a smile.
"Brother Qin, come to my room and have a chat?"
Qin Liangchen didn't hesitate and followed Luo Chen into the upside-down house that now looked a little shabby.
In the courtyard, Murong Qinglian leaned in front of the door, staring blankly at the backs of the two of them.
…
…
It's midsummer and the heat is unbearable.
Only the inverted room in this courtyard exudes a hint of coolness.
Living among them, Luo Chen took out the 50-year-old pineapple wine from the storage bag that Grandpa Yuan Xiaoyue had given him on his birthday.
Then put out a few plates of fairy beans, beef jerky, fried whistles and other snacks.
"Go one!"
"Um!"
boom!
The wine glasses clinked together with a soft sound.
The men sitting at both ends of the wooden table had wine in their throats.
After putting down the wine glass, one was as high-spirited as midsummer, while the other was as lonely as snow, as if it was still winter.
"Time flies so fast!"
"Obviously the memory of you using your trump card to chase me is still vaguely in my mind, but if you think about it carefully, it was already last year."
Luo Chen sighed and filled another glass of wine for Qin Liangchen.
The other party remained silent and just drank the cup silently.
Luo Chen didn't mind, and continued for him again, and then talked to himself.
"At that time, I was just a casual cultivator at the bottom of Dahefang. In order to avoid my enemies, I gritted my teeth and lived in the inner city where the rent was expensive for me."
"Refining elixirs is actually not the hardest part. Selling elixirs is the most tiring. Because you don't know what reason the next customer will use to bargain with you, so you need to maintain a highly focused state to deal with any difficulties. .”
"On the Taoist forum, I really envy you and admire you very much."
"Even if some people die in battle, the victor's high spirits and the cheers of thousands of people make me fascinated."
"Unfortunately, after I got on the Taoist forum myself, after the initial throbbing, I could no longer find the feeling I wanted."
"Because they scolded me for match-fixing!"
"I still remember that at the Zhong Ding family's golden elixir banquet, you and I stood like minions, but now I can be in charge alone for a while, and I may become the number one big shot in Dahefang in the future."
"Haha, you really followed what I said back then, as a man should!"
"This guy Mi Shuhua dragged me into the Poshan Gang by force, but he is also my nobleman."
"Without his support, I might have been able to reach this point, but it would never have been so fast."
"To be honest, the moment I learned that he was dead, I had very mixed emotions."
"Relaxed relief, hesitant and helpless, regretful and sighing, I really can't describe the specific feeling."
Luo Chen was talking and Qin Liangchen was listening.
Drinking pineapple wine one cup at a time made each other feel hotter.
Seeing Luo Chen lamenting the past and imagining the future, Qin Liangchen was both happy for him and sad for his own situation.
Time has changed and the world has changed, and the white clouds are like dogs!
He did not interrupt Luo Chen's conversation.
Because he knew that Luo Chen had experienced a lot this year, especially these two days.
The depression between life and death, the excitement of reorganizing Luo Tianhui.
He knew that Luo Chen needed an outlet.
It's just a pity that I'm not in a good mood.
Otherwise, you can chat with him for a few words.
Forget it, listen to what he says more, drink a few more glasses of wine, and you can sleep more peacefully after you go back.
As for the future?
Why think so much? If not, I still have a son, who has a bright future and is worth looking forward to.
"To be honest, I didn't feel any sense of relief the moment I killed Gao Tingyuan."
"The pressure he puts on me is far less than the pressure that the smiling Mi Shuhua puts on me when we get along every day."
"When I killed him, I just thought, oh, he's dead."
Luo Chen drank a glass of wine and looked at Qin Liangchen expectantly.
"Brother Qin, have you ever had the memory of killing a powerful enemy? How did you feel at the time?"
Qin Liangchen thought for a while and then said dullly.
"I don't have the temperament to often make enemies. If I really want to say it, maybe I felt a little bit when a guy who tricked me in the mountains ended up with my legs broken!"
"To be specific, it's probably a kind of thing. Who dares to bully my lofty ideals in the future?"
"But it's a pity that there are too many people in this world who can bully me. Later, I took it lightly."
Luo Chen groaned, is that so?
Next, he chattered a lot, like an old man nagging.
Obviously he is still very young, only thirty years old.
Qin Liangchen listened quietly until Luo Chen looked at his hand.
"Haha, Brother Qin, your hands are connected and broken again. You are destined to be a one-armed hero for the rest of your life!"
Qin Liangchen felt a little sad, a little embarrassed, and more importantly, he got a sense of normality and non-discrimination in the banter.
He laughed and scolded: "So what if I have one arm? I can't teach you a lesson!"
"That's not certain!" Luo Chen said proudly, "No matter what, I am a master of the ninth level of Qi Refining in killing two great masters, and I still kill the enemy by leaping through the ranks."
Hearing what he said, Qin Liangchen couldn't help but feel dazed.
Although he had not seen that scene, he had heard Murong Qinglian talk about it later.
Luo Chen's strength exceeded everyone's expectations.
It's just like when Wang Yuan was born, he kept jumping up and down to challenge.
The seventh level is equal to the eighth level. When the eighth level of Qi refining is achieved, it crushes the demonic cultivators at the ninth level of Qi refining.
No wonder Wang Yuan attaches so much importance to this little brother Luo Chen.
But when I think about it carefully, I feel that it is natural.
I have sparred with Luo Chen many times. The opponent's speed, excellent spell talent, and superb use of magic weapons all have the potential to kill the enemy at a higher level.
Suddenly, a word woke him up from his trance.
"Brother Qin, do you still want to take this hand from you?"
Qin Liangchen was startled. If he could be picked up again, who wouldn't want to?
But……
"I'll go see Deacon Miao in two days. Maybe I can ask him to take over the job for you again."
Qin Liangchen's eyes flashed, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.
But in the end, he smiled bitterly.
"This time is different from before."
"Although my hand was broken on the discussion stage, at least the pieces of flesh and blood were there. That's why the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect can use secret methods to reattach my broken limbs."
"But this time, that hand was completely turned into powder, and there is no possibility of it being restored again."
Luo Chen shook his head, "No matter what, I can't let this right arm be empty. Otherwise, when I go out with my sister-in-law, it won't be a good match!"
"It's up to you!"
Qin Liangchen was in low spirits and did not have high expectations.
However, he was still very touched by Luo Chen's kindness.
"Taking over is just a small matter. With your open-mindedness, Brother Qin, you don't even think about it."
Luo Chen laughed, put down his wine glass, and took out a box.
"I have something here. You can regard it as a gift from me, or as a reward for rushing to Xieyue Valley. Or, it belongs to you originally."
"Would you like to take a look?"
Qin Liangchen became interested and took the jade box.
He took a quick look at it and saw that it was ordinary. He just thought it was some gadget given to him by Luo Chen.
After all, it seemed that Luo Chen didn't take it seriously.
But when he opened the jade box, his whole body froze.
A long time, a long time.
He was able to say those three words in a hoarse voice in disbelief.
"Foundation Pill!"
"Um."
Qin Liangchen suddenly raised his head and looked at Luo Chen with his body trembling.
The other party was drinking wine and peeling fairy beans, his eyes wandering, not even looking at the longan-sized pill.
It seems that he doesn't care at all.
"Is this for me?"
"You can also say that it originally belonged to you."
"how do I say this?"
"Well, this Foundation Building Pill is the one Mi Shuhua once promised to you. It was just a month ago that he made a deal with me in exchange for my promise to make the pill for him with all my strength."
Luo Chen paused and said with a smile: "You know, that old man likes to use this trick very much."
Mi Shuhua really likes to use this hand.
All kinds of good words and inspiring words should be thrown out like money.
Occasionally, I will also give some small favors.
This trick is extremely useful when used on low-level monks.
But as a monk grows up, Mi Shuhua will become stingy and will not take out the real good things.
This Foundation-Building Pill once captured Han Dang's mind, and also made the Poshan Gang's nine Qi Refining Level nine risk their lives for him.
Finally, among Wang Yuan and Qin Liangchen, he promised it to the latter.
But to put it bluntly, the real thing has never been produced.
Last time, he chose to seduce Luo Chen.
Perhaps you also know that if you make such verbal promises, it will be difficult to win people's trust.
Therefore, he gave it to Luo Chen.
But even so, layers of restrictions were still set up so that Luo Chen could see and touch it, but couldn't eat it.
After his death, Luo Chen asked Miao Wen to take action to unlock the remaining restrictions above.
Miao Wen didn't mind either. After untying it, he found that it was a Foundation Building Pill.
At that time, Miao Wen took a deep look at Luo Chen, but didn't say anything.
In the eyes of sect monks like them, the value of the Foundation Establishment Pill is far less than that.
However, for casual cultivators, this thing is worth risking everything to get.
Spiritual stones, resources, techniques, relatives, friends, Taoist companions, and even risking your own life.
But now, Luo Chen gave it to Qin Liangchen without any care!
It's a return of something to its original owner, but it's not a huge sacrifice!
For a moment, Qin Liangchen was speechless for a long time.
He never expected that Luo Chen would give him a Foundation Building Pill.
This made him not know what to say.
reject?
No Qi Refining monk would refuse a Foundation Establishment Pill placed in front of him.
Oh, now there is one - Luo Chen.
accept?
You should accept it!
After all, this is what belongs to you.
However, I always felt like something was wrong.
Qin Liangchen hesitated and looked at Luo Chen.
But he found that the other party's eyes were wandering, and he had been avoiding the jade box containing the Foundation Establishment Pill.
It's not that I'm dismissive, it's more like I'm afraid that I won't be able to take it back after reading it.
"It turns out that he didn't act so indifferent!"
Qin Liangchen raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said softly: "Are you really willing to give up?"
"Hey, my two brothers, what are you talking about?"
Luo Chen waved his hand carelessly, "Hurry up and cover it up, the medicinal power has been lost."
"Come on, come on, keep drinking, and work hard together in the future. The days ahead will definitely be sweeter and sweeter!"
The more the wine glasses are filled, the more enthusiastic the atmosphere becomes.
It was as if all the confusion about the future had disappeared.
…
Close the door.
Luo Chen was lying on the bed, with his hands behind his head, his legs crossed, and his eyes looking at the bright night sky outside the glass skylight.
At this moment, he felt very comfortable.
Taking off Mi Shuhua's suppression.
I have a small force of my own.
The only Foundation Establishment Pill that bothered him was finally dealt with.
Without Qi refining and casual cultivation, one would be indifferent to a Foundation Building Pill.
The same goes for Luo Chen!
But that pill was a hot potato.
Nominally, it belongs to Qin Liangchen.
In fact, it was in Luo Chen's hands.
If Luo Chen really refined a large amount of chalcedony pills for Mi Shuhua and sold them, he made a profit.
He might be able to use this Foundation Establishment Pill with peace of mind.
However, the destruction of the Poshan Gang and the fall of Mi Shuhua left this peace of mind with nowhere to rest.
Luo Chen thought carefully about the value of this Foundation Building Pill to him.
Not as big as imagined.
Yeah, it's not that valuable.
First of all, Luo Chen's realm is still at the eighth level of Qi refining, and it will take a long time before he can break through the ninth level, or even reach the perfection of Qi refining necessary for foundation building.
In a short period of time, this foundation building pill will not be able to work.
Secondly, you should know your own affairs.
The qualifications of the Five Spiritual Roots are innate.
Cultivation is already so difficult, and when you break through the foundation, it will be even more difficult.
A mere low-grade foundation-building pill won't have much effect.
Thirdly, he has already taken the Miao Wen line.
Even though Luo Chen is not yet a foundation-building monk, he will definitely have an innate advantage in purchasing foundation-building pills in the future.
Miao Wen is not Mi Shuhua's intolerant character!
He comes from the Yuan Ying Sect, has extensive knowledge and a broad vision.
He has seen too many things that are better than the Foundation Establishment Pill.
He also knows a lot of people who are better than the foundation-building monks.
If Luo Chen can build a foundation and be promoted to a second-level alchemist, the cooperation between the two will only bring greater benefits.
Miao Wen was not afraid of turning against Luo Chen when he reached a high level.
To put it bluntly, the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect gave Miao Wen this confidence.
Therefore, Luo Chen will not lack one or two Foundation Building Pills in the future!
That being the case, why should he let this hot potato remain in his hand and torture his conscience all the time?
By returning the property to its original owner, Luo Chen could feel at ease and gain Qin Liangchen's gratitude.
Moreover, Qin Liangchen is not alone. His Taoist companion Murong Qinglian is also at the ninth level of Qi Refining and is particularly good at handling chores.
He also has a son who is studying in Luoyun Sect and has very good qualifications. He may also be a foundation-building monk in the future.
In this way, Luo Chen would gain the friendship of Qin Liangchen and his wife, as well as the goodwill of the other party's son, by paying for a foundation-building pill that was temporarily unused.
No matter what, this decision is a sure win!
Of course, thinking this way may be more utilitarian.
When you get along with real friends, you won't think so much.
But monks are different from ordinary people. Only by clearly calculating their cultivation resources can their friendship be bound more firmly.
Luo Chen also hopes that if he encounters danger again, someone will stop the enemy for him, cut off the enemy for him, and travel thousands of miles for him to come to the rescue with a single sword.
"Wealth couple is the land of dharma. This word of couple should not only have teachers, seniors, Taoist couple and relatives, but also have a place for friends."
"So, am I not practicing?"
Thinking of practicing, Luo Chen turned over and sat up.
Don’t miss out on today’s homework!
…
And next door, just a room apart.
The couple didn't light the lamp, they just gathered around and looked at the jade box with burning eyes.
The longan-sized pill lay quietly inside, exuding a fragrance that made people tremble all over.
Foundation-building hope!
After a long time, Murong Qinglian said in a solemn voice: "Luo Chen, he not only wants to reattach your arm, but also gives you this Foundation Establishment Pill?"
"Madam, this is the third time you have said this."
"devil!"
She pushed Qin Liangchen nervously, and then said with emotion: "What do you think?"
There was no response, just a slight breath.
Murong Qinglian sighed, closed the box, and stuffed it into Qin Liangchen's hands.
"No matter what you think, I will try my best to take care of Luo Chen and take good care of Luo Tianhui from now on."
"It's not easy for him to work hard alone."
"We always have to help."
"And it would be great if Xiaohu can build a foundation in the future. If not, he will have one more person to rely on with Luo Chen here!"
Listening to the woman's ramble, Qin Liangchen took the jade box and lay down on the bed.
He looked at the gauze tent, and after a long time he whispered softly: "Luo Chen, you are my brother!"
