Thick beams and columns, neat stone bricks.
The brand new hall reveals minimalism.
Luotianhui's new main hall was named Luotian main hall.
There is no extravagance or waste. When it was first built, it was all about saving spiritual stones.
Luo Chen didn't want any splendor or fairy-like style.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, now everything is simple.
When he arrived at Luotian Hall, Sima Huiniang, Gu Caiyi, Duan Feng, and Qu Lingjun had been waiting for a long time.
Without any nonsense, Luo Chen went straight to the topic.
First of all, there is the chalcedony pill market issue that he is most concerned about.
"Caiyi, tell me!"
Gu Caiyi nodded and talked about the investigation situation this year.
"First of all, it's Huanyu!"
"Currently, there are no less than ten shops in Tianlan Immortal City, which can supply Huanyu, the main material of Chalcedony Pill, in large quantities. This means that when we refine Chalcedony Pill, we will not be stuck in the raw materials."
"The problem is that due to the impact of the war, the price of Huan jade has increased. In terms of cost, we must pay attention to it."
Listening to her introduction, Luo Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
It can be seen that the other party has really put a lot of thought into this year.
She was only asked to investigate the market situation of Chalcedony Pill, but she didn't expect that she even collected information on the raw materials of Chalcedony Pill.
"Secondly, there are competitors. There are fifteen kinds of cultivation elixirs suitable for low-level monks on the market in Tianlan Immortal City."
"Among these fifteen kinds, the Qi Nourishing Pill from Lingyao Pavilion and the Huanglong Pill from Qingdan Valley are the first. The current prices are still high, with a bottle costing 120 and 110 spiritual stones respectively. Compared with before, , there is a premium, also affected by the war.”
"The other thirteen elixirs are from Baihua Palace, Luoyun Sect... and some immortal cultivating families."
"The elixirs from the big sects are all good, the quality is guaranteed, and the price is generally around one hundred yuan. But the elixirs sold by the small forces have more or less problems, similar to the early jade transformation of our chalcedony elixir. So. , their prices, even if affected by the war, only hover around ninety."
"And the market share is not that big!"
Said so many words in one breath.
Even though Gu Caiyi was a ninth-level Qi Refining monk, he didn't feel a little tired.
It's not that I'm physically tired, but it contains too much information.
She has to keep in mind which elixir comes from where, what effect it has, and what price it is.
When speaking out, you should also make an evaluation based on what you actually see.
Only in this way can Luo Chen clearly understand the market situation.
Seeing Luo Chen nodded thoughtfully.
Gu Caiyi breathed a sigh of relief and added:
"Finally, in my opinion, Tianlan Immortal City is already very saturated in the market for low-level cultivation elixirs."
"We're going to have a lot of difficulties trying to squeeze in."
Qu Lingjun asked curiously: "What are the difficulties?"
"Price competition, peer competition, even..." Gu Caiyi pursed her lips and hesitated.
Luo Chen, who was above, said calmly: "Do you still have permission from the superior?"
Gu Caiyi nodded, "Indeed, I have inquired about it before. In addition to selling the elixirs of three immortal cultivating families, they also paid an extra amount of spiritual stones to the large sects they were attached to."
After saying that, she smiled bitterly.
"To tell you the truth, the batch of chalcedony pills that the president gave me could have been sold in a month or two in the past."
"But this time, I spent a lot of energy and went through the black market, retail sales, and retail markets. It took me a full year to sell out."
Qu Lingjun, who had grown to the age of a young man, felt his head was as big as an ox after hearing these difficulties.
He thought that refining elixirs was difficult enough, but he didn't expect that selling elixirs would be even more difficult!
After hearing this, Sima Huiniang couldn't help but frown.
She knew how much the chalcedony pill the president took out was worth.
About fifty thousand spiritual stones.
It's a lot, but if it's spread evenly over a year's income, it's pitiful.
If it operates like this in the future, how can Luo Tianhui grow? What about development?
Let alone Luo Tianhui, even if it only supports the president's cultivation, I'm afraid it won't be enough.
For a moment, she, the CEO, was in trouble.
Unexpectedly, Luo Chen, who was at the head, was still calm and calm.
"There are many competitors, so it's not a problem. This shows that the market is vast and far from saturated."
"Our Chalcedony Pill has a very low cost. Moreover, I have also improved the side effects of jade in the Dantian, and its efficacy is not inferior to ordinary Qi-nourishing Pills. In this case, we can completely rely on the price advantage to enter the market!"
"As for pressure from higher ups..."
The four of them looked at Luo Chen curiously.
Could it be that he can even solve this?
You must know that the upper-level forces in Tianlan Immortal City are all behemoths such as the Seven Jade Cauldron Sects and even the Yuanying Sect from outside the territory.
Even though Luo Chen has repeatedly created miracles along the way.
But at this level, is it possible to find a way?
Facing the curious, anxious and expectant looks of the three people, Luo Chen said softly: "I will deal with the pressure from the top, you don't need to worry."
It really can be solved!
The four of them looked at each other in shock. They admired Luo Chen even more.
Luo Chen's eyes fell on Qu Lingjun.
"The Earth Fire Cave has been sorted out!"
Qu Lingjun nodded immediately, "Under Danxia Peak, there is a first-level earth fire vein. Back then, the Shengongmen and the Geng family opened twenty earth fire caves for rent."
"After we sorted it out, we opened up several small caves and formed the large alchemy room pattern that you are familiar with, Master."
"Currently, only Qi Tang and I are using these twenty earth fire caves. Most of them are still vacant."
It is a well-known fact that the Jade Cauldron Territory is rich in earth fire veins.
Luo Chen saw many earth fire veins along the way.
Over at Dahefang, there is one at Wanbao Tower in the inner city, and there is one at Duan's house in Xiaohuan Mountain.
Over at Taishan Square, the Huo family in Chichan Mountain has one, and the Kang family in Taishan also has one.
After arriving at Tianlan Immortal City, there were even more earthly fire veins.
Danxia Peak, Wutong Mountain, Shengongmen, Wanbao Tower... a rough estimate, there are more than two hands to count.
Even if they are all low-level fire veins, they are not a big deal.
But it is true that it provides a solid foundation for industries such as alchemy and tool casting.
Qu Lingjun's arrangement is undoubtedly very reasonable.
Separate the Earth Fire Cave needed for the Alchemy Hall and the Qi Hall.
Luo Chen was also specially given the layout of the alchemy room that he was most familiar with.
Once you invest in alchemy, these trivial matters will not cause any trouble.
Luo Chen was extremely satisfied with the apprentice he had accepted, regardless of his cultivation level.
Especially the other party, who has now been able to refining low-grade chalcedony pills stably, and is exploring the middle-grade chalcedony pills according to the experience of refining chalcedony pills he left behind.
This greatly comforts Luo Chen and Lao Huai!
"Now that everything is sorted out, let's start preparing immediately to refine the chalcedony pill on a large scale!"
"Hui Niang, how many spiritual stones do Luo Tianhui have in his account now?"
The conversation changed and it fell on Sima Huiniang.
Sima Huiniang knew all these treasures.
He immediately replied: "Originally, there were only 20,000 yuan left. Later, Hall Master Gu gradually added 50,000 yuan, making a total of 70,000 yuan."
"After the operation of Biyougu, Hall Master Duan Feng sold a lot of repaired magic weapons and added 30,000 spiritual stones."
“It once reached around 100,000!”
"However, this year, after personnel salaries, material purchases, and daily expenses, 50,000 yuan has been consumed. There is no way, the first time we arrive at Danxia Peak is the most expensive time."
"So, now there are only 50,000 yuan in working capital on the books."
fifty thousand!
For any casual cultivator, this is a huge number that is out of reach.
However, for senior executives such as Sima Huiniang, Gu Caiyi and Duan Feng, who have dealt with large sums of money all year round, these figures are no longer surprising.
Even said.
For today's Luo Tianhui, this amount of spiritual stones is still too little.
"Take out 10,000 yuan and purchase raw materials for chalcedony pills on a large scale."
Ten thousand spiritual stones are enough to purchase three or four months of chalcedony pill refining needs.
Luo Chen did not withdraw all the spiritual stones on his books.
He knows that for any power to operate, it needs sufficient liquidity.
Moreover, some of them are medium-grade spiritual stones.
This is a strategic resource and should not be touched lightly!
Just like the Langqi Flying Boat.
Under normal conditions, Luo Chen's spiritual power alone can drive it.
But once the large-scale flying boat mode is launched, a large number of medium-grade spiritual stones must be continuously driven.
"In addition, I have a list here. Send someone as soon as possible to collect ten proportions, and then send them to the cave for me!"
In Sima Huiniang's confusion, a piece of paper fell lightly into her hand.
Blue smoke jade, Lingting vanilla.
Ten-year-old cold ginseng, angelica root, fleece-flower root, motherwort, azure aloe...
The densely packed names of medicinal materials made Sima Huiniang's eyelids twitch wildly.
Especially inside, there were several medicinal materials that she was familiar with.
It is the kind of medicinal material that is particularly beneficial to female cultivators and has good effects even if it is taken raw.
After just scanning it, Sima Huiniang couldn't help but feel curious.
Is the president going to refine some elixir that is useful for female cultivators?
When she was curious, Luo Chen's voice sounded in her ears.
"Gather them together as soon as possible, but divide them among people and buy them separately."
"Remember!"
Sima Huiniang nodded heavily, she could feel the importance Luo Chen attached to this list.
She planned to handle this matter herself.
The arrangements for the Chalcedony Pill end here.
What happens next depends on the specific operations.
Luo Chen changed the topic and landed on Duan Feng.
Looking at the other party, the spiritual power fluctuations were smooth and smooth, almost overflowing.
He praised: "You haven't slacked off recently, and you have reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining."
Duan Feng pursed his lips and nodded silently.
He shouldn't have reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining so quickly, it would take at least several years.
But the legacy left by Duan Qiankun is enough to push anyone at the ninth level of Qi Refining to the Great Perfection.
His own talent is not bad, and he has been close to the Dzogchen state before.
Now, it is just adding fuel to the flames and taking it to the next level.
It's just that he is so calm.
Sima Huiniang felt sad.
According to Luo Chen's promise, whoever among their group is the first to refine Qi to Perfection can purchase the Foundation Establishment Pill from Luo Chen at the original price at the auction.
Among that group of people, they are the ones closest to Dzogchen.
They are Sima Huiniang, Murong Qinglian, Duan Feng and Bian Zhen.
Although she is busy with work, her treatment is the best among the four.
Logically speaking, Dzogchen should be achieved first.
But he didn't expect that Duan Feng would come from behind.
So now...
"When do you plan to build the foundation?"
Duan Feng raised his head and said bluntly: "It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Now that it's perfect, why wait any longer. For these two days, I plan to use my savings to rent a second-level low-grade cave in Tianlan Peak to break through the realm."
Full of energy!
As expected of Duan Feng, who was decisive in killing in his memory, and whose goal was to kill Foundation Establishment during his Qi refining period.
Luo Chen nodded, "Do you need help?"
Duan Feng shook his head.
"You have given enough help. I have been studying the foundation building experience for more than a year. I am very confident about foundation building!"
That's true.
Duan Feng's accumulation is pretty good, and Duan Qiankun's resources are specially prepared for him, which must be more suitable than those arranged by Luo Chen.
Coupled with Luo Chen's experience in building the foundation five times in the past, he accumulated experience in building the foundation.
If he doesn't even have this assurance and confidence, then it's really better not to attack.
"By the way, I vaguely know what's inside those two silver balls."
Duan Feng said suddenly.
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, but saw that the other party was hesitant.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm just guessing. For the specific situation, I'll have to wait until I build the foundation and unlock the forbidden formation before I can get an accurate answer."
While speaking, he entrusted a pamphlet to Luo Chen with his spiritual power.
Luo Chen opened the booklet.
As soon as he saw it, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
He took a deep look at Duan Feng.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to successfully build the foundation!"
Next to her, Sima Huiniang listened to the two men's questions and answers.
But the whole process didn't seem to involve the Foundation Establishment Pill.
This left her a little confused.
At some point, Luo Chen looked over with a smile.
"Don't think about it, Duan Feng has another chance and won't need the Foundation Establishment Pill for the time being."
Sima Huiniang was stunned.
Then I was overjoyed.
Even though she tried her best to control it, the slightly raised corners of her mouth still revealed the joy in her heart.
Luo Chen smiled and didn't care.
Now at his level, one or two Foundation Establishment Pills were actually nothing.
As long as you have the heart!
As long as you dare to pay the price!
It's easier than a casual cultivator to get the Foundation Building Pill.
Next, Luo Chen and Sima Huiniang discussed some matters during the meeting.
It involves contact with two nearby forces.
One of them is the Geng family. They were enemies rather than friends before, but now that they have settled down, they still have to make friends as much as possible.
After all, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors!
It would not be nice to have bad neighbors.
Sima Huiniang's intention was to invite the other party to settle in Biyou Valley and continue the previous business.
I had a little contact with him before, but the other party didn't seem to be as insistent as I thought.
The benefits are so exciting!
Biyou Valley is not big, but for hundreds of years, loose cultivators have lived in Danxia Peak, which has really created a bit of a business atmosphere.
It is not impossible to operate it as a micro market.
In the past year, some of Gu Caiyi's elixirs and Duan Feng's magic weapons were sold through Biyougu channels.
"If the business goes well, we can also hold small auctions in Biyou Valley in the future."
"Whether it's accumulating fame or earning spiritual stones, there's always something to do."
Facing Sima Huiniang's proposal, Luo Chen strongly agreed.
Don't talk about Luo Tianhui.
Back then, the Poshan Gang even had its own private black market.
Luo Chen's Chalcedony Pill is still somewhat famous in the black market.
"Grandma Yuan has passed away, but the medicine hall cannot be without its owner for a day."
"I have three candidates here, Bian Zhen who has a high level of cultivation, Feng Xia who is very familiar with medicinal herbs, and Yuan Dongsheng who has a lot of research on spiritual plants."
"President, who do you prefer?"
Luo Chen thought for a while and said slowly:
"The medicine hall is very important. It involves two major lifebloods of our Luo Tianhui."
The two major lifebloods are the Alchemy Hall and more than 400 spiritual fields.
The former was okay, Luo Chen was in charge.
But the value of the latter is not obvious now, but after years of operation, the income will definitely be very high.
It is even said that many small sects are self-sufficient by operating spiritual fields.
"Therefore, there must be someone with advanced cultivation standing in charge."
"Although Bian Zhen joined our Luo Tianhui later, his loyalty has been proven along the way."
"He can be the master of the medicine hall!"
Sima Huiniang hummed.
In fact, she had the same idea.
Bian Zhen's strength was so strong that it was really a waste for him to be inferior to Zhou Yuanli.
"However, it is indeed easy for laymen to lead experts."
"So, Feng Xia and Yuan Dongsheng's tasks have to be aggravated."
"Appoint the two of them as Elder Lingzhi and Elder Lingyao of the Medicine Hall, and they will be in charge of one area each. Bian Zhen will be in the middle and take charge of the overall situation, that's all!"
After hearing this arrangement, Sima Huiniang couldn't help but be convinced.
"Greetings, President!"
Luo Chen smiled, what a noble idea this was.
But there are only so many talents in Luo Tianhui. Just think about it and arrange it accordingly.
However, there is also a problem arising from the handling of Bian Zhen.
After many battles, most of the surviving monks of Luo Tianhui are elites.
And each has gained a lot, and their realm has improved.
In terms of the ninth level of Qi refining alone, there have been three more in this year.
For these people, they certainly cannot simply sit idle.
"I heard that you opened an outer door?"
Sima Huiniang was startled, then nodded quickly.
"It was imitated by the big sect and built an outer sect. But currently, there are only the external deacon Xu Xiaoliu and a few middle-stage Qi-refining monks running errands."
Luo Chen rubbed his chin.
After thinking for a while, he said:
"Go and make a plan to see if you can recruit a group of people without special talents but with good abilities from within the association and arrange them to go to the outer sect."
"This group of people will be responsible for some trivial matters that are not involved in the lobby."
"Externally and internally, connecting all the halls."
"There is an elder at the outer gate who will be dispatched by you."
Sima Huiniang silently kept it in mind and planned to implement it later.
This little meeting is almost over.
Luo Chen stayed at Danxia Peak for one night, attended Granny Yuan's funeral the next day, and took Duan Feng back to Immortal City.
After returning home, Duan Feng went to rent a cave and planned to build a foundation.
But Luo Chen plunged into the prosperous fairy city.
His figure began to appear in major shops.
Now that the main direction of cultivation has been determined, a big purchase is inevitable!
