In the Qinhua Water Mansion.
Luo Chen looked at Li Jinhuang.
The other person was sitting there cross-legged, looking haggard and pale.
The loose robe that originally fit him now seemed empty when it covered his skinny body.
Is this the state where a true cultivator of foundation building is about to end his life and become dead?
Ordinary monks may not be able to see it.
But with Luo Chen's good eyesight and keen spiritual awareness, he could clearly detect the constant flow of energy and blood on the other party's body.
Can't lock it!
The Dao foundation, which was already declining, could not lock the monk's energy and blood at all.
At this moment, his body was like a sieve, and all his energy and energy were constantly leaking out.
Facing Luo Chen's scrutiny, Li Jinhuang behaved calmly.
He didn't make any disguise and showed his state to Luo Chen openly and openly.
This is a sign of goodwill!
It allows Luo Chen to understand as much as possible what the foundation-building monks have to face in the final stage of their lives.
If Luo Chen ends up like this one day, he might be able to take some measures in advance.
In other words, Li Jinhuang has been making this kind of show of goodwill since the Li family of Qinhuajiang and the Luo Tianhui of Danxia Peak came online.
The direct granddaughter got married and married into Danxia Mountain.
Give away a quota of Foundation Establishment Pills!
Process the Tongyou Pill for Luo Chen.
Even when life is approaching, it is also emitting the afterglow.
Luo Chen could understand his thoughts, but he hoped that after he left, he could take more care of the Li family.
After a long time, Luo Chen withdrew his gaze.
"Fellow Taoist invited me here for more than just this reason!"
Li Jinhuang opened his mouth and his voice was hoarse and chaotic.
"Fellow Taoist should be very clear about what I am asking for."
"Today, the Li family is in the most dangerous moment. As soon as I fall down, the wolves surrounding me may pounce on me and bite and carve up this piece of fat meat of the Li family."
"That would be a disaster that I would never die in peace!"
Luo Chen frowned slightly, "With me, Luo Tianhui, taking care of me, those enemies of the Li family shouldn't dare to act rashly!"
Li Jinhuang smiled miserably, "But some of them were not enemies before!"
Luo Chen was puzzled.
Soon, under Li Jinhuang's explanation, he knew that it was not the enemy of his enemy.
Danyuan Gate!
Luo Chen was a little stunned when he heard this name.
The Danyuan Sect was one of the major competitors that Luo Tianhui faced when he wanted to enter Tianlan's low-end elixir market.
Not to mention other trivial elixirs, the Yang Yuan elixir refined within the sect is still quite popular.
However, in the constant competition between Luo Tianhui and the Zheng family, the Danyuan Sect gradually failed to keep up.
Nowadays, the Danyuan Sect is not having an easy time.
Their Yangyuan Pill has pretty good medicinal properties, but it’s very expensive, so they haven’t lowered the price yet.
As a result, sales are now shrinking.
There are just some old customers who are used to it and continue to buy.
To be honest, Luo Chen has long stopped paying attention to the Danyuan Sect.
The elixirs are not very competitive, and there is only one old monk in the middle stage of foundation building in the sect.
and!
The Li family in Qinhuajiang also sold first-level cultivation elixirs.
"Aren't they your Li family's long-standing competitors?"
Li Jinhuang shook his head and said slowly: "We are both competitors and partners."
"The Danyuan Sect needs a main material for refining the Yuan Yang Dan. In Tianlan Immortal City, only my Qinhuajiang Li family is growing it on a large scale. Before the old head of the Danyuan Sect passed away, our two families formed partnership.”
"Because the main material is controlled by my Li family, the price of their Yangyuan Pill cannot be reduced."
Luo Chen suddenly realized.
"You mean that once you go, the Danyuan Sect will not be able to help but take action?"
"Yeah, who wants to have their lifeline in someone else's hands?"
The current head of Danyuan Sect, whose name is unknown.
Many years ago, because of his superb alchemy skills, he was honored with the Taoist title - Dan Yuanzi.
It is somewhat similar to the Taoist name Dan Chenzi that Luo Chen often used when he was in Dahefang.
What if he wants to take action against the Li family?
"What is the specific realm?" Luo Chen asked.
"It's one level lower than me, and it looks like it's four levels of foundation building." Li Jinhuang answered immediately.
Hearing that it was this realm, Luo Chen felt a little confident.
"It doesn't matter!"
"When the time comes, I will take action!"
"You?" Li Jinhuang was dubious.
It's not that he doesn't trust Luo Chen, it's because he's in the early stages of foundation building...
In his doubts, Luo Chen made a spiritual secret.
A wave of powerful spiritual power slowly spread.
The momentum is sharp, no less than when Li Jinhuang was in his prime!
Even, faintly victorious!
Li Jinhuang's eyes widened, "When did you reach the middle stage of foundation building?"
"Just these days."
Luo Chen said lightly, with strong confidence in his words.
The preservation of the Li family was not only due to Li Jinhuang's continuous goodwill over the past few years.
It's also because the Li family can provide huge benefits to Luo Tianhui!
Although the Li family is known as a family of elixirs, the income generated from elixir refining is only a very small part.
Their family's main source of wealth is the medicinal materials business.
When Luo Tianhui's Chalcedony Pill entered the market, it caused a huge blow to the rest of the industry.
Among them, the Zheng family made a profit.
The one least affected is the Qinhuajiang Li family!
Because the other party's main business is not alchemy.
As for their medicinal material business, even Luo Chen was extremely jealous.
Upholding morality and commitment, Luo Chen will not invade the Li family's medicinal material business after Li Jinhuang's death.
But Luo Tianhui can cooperate deeply with the Li family to make the medicinal materials business bigger and stronger, and share part of the profits from it.
Not to mention anything else, just buying some medicinal materials at affordable prices for personal use can save Luo Tianhui a lot of spiritual stone costs!
Feeling Luo Chen's powerful spiritual power fluctuations, Li Jinhuang couldn't stop cheering after being shocked.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
"If you have this strength, it couldn't be better!"
Luo Chen was confident and proud, but also a little curious.
"Even if I don't advance to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, with the strength of the four major Foundation Establishment cultivators of Luo Tianhui, I'm still enough to frighten that Dan Yuanzi!"
"You don't need to worry about this, right?"
Li Jinhuang suppressed his smile.
His expression became solemn again.
"There are a lot of wolves around, and it's not just the Danyuan Sect."
Luo Chen shook his head, "Then it seems that your Li family's normal connections are not getting along well!"
"It has nothing to do with close connections. It's just that the common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a treasure!" Li Jinhuang said lightly: "The upper limit of the potential of the area occupied by the Li family is even greater than your Danxia Peak. Because of this No matter how good I am in normal times, once I go, there will always be people who can’t help but take action."
After a pause, he took a deep breath.
"Based on my judgment, most of the remaining enemies will just sit back and watch for the time being."
"Only the Hu family has a life-and-death feud with my Li family!"
"But over the years, they have been militaristic, drained the family's wealth, and forcibly cultivated three foundation-building cultivators!"
"If I go, whether it's for profit or hatred, they will definitely take action against my Li family!"
Luo Chen's expression gradually became serious.
He naturally knew what the other party was talking about about the Hu family.
Tanqiu Hu family, one door and three foundations!
In the past ten years, it has gained considerable momentum, not inferior to Luo Tianhui, which has successively given birth to foundation-building cultivators.
Even because the other party is a local family of Tianlan, the casual cultivators of Immortal City still look up to them, comparing them with the Zheng family of Rolling Dragon Backbone who also have three foundations.
However, in the eyes of truly knowledgeable people.
The Tanqiu Hu family is not very popular.
The three major foundations of the clan were promoted by sucking up the resources of the entire clan and doing whatever it took.
And they only have the strength of the early stage of foundation building.
The so-called "suck dry" word is by no means empty talk.
That's real sucking.
Logically speaking, if there are three foundation-building cultivators above, then there must be a lot of Qi-refining period cultivators below!
But the Hu family is not like this.
The life of the Qi Refining monks in the clan was miserable.
The Hu family is also an elixir family, and was even one of Luo Tianhui's competitors in the elixir market.
In their clan, those who assist in alchemy are not called medicine disciples and fire workers, but are called medicine slaves and fire slaves.
Refining elixirs day and night.
There are countless people whose paths have been cut off, people who have perished due to explosions, people who have exhausted their spiritual energy and are unable to advance.
Nowadays, there are only a dozen Qi refining monks left in the Hu family who can fight.
It can be said that the Hu family's hundreds of years of wealth have been directly exhausted in this generation.
In this way, three foundation-building cultivators were abruptly piled up.
This kind of militaristic management method will be looked down upon wherever it is used.
Li Jinhuang said that they would attack the Li family brazenly, and Luo Chen believed it.
The other party is almost at the end of their rope.
The family heritage has been sucked dry!
The elixir business suffered a huge blow from Luo Tianhui and the Zheng family.
The three major foundation-building true cultivations are extremely in need of cultivation resources.
Due to various unfavorable factors, they have long been coveted by the Li family.
It was just that Li Jinhuang was on the verge of collapse, old but not dead, and suppressed their inner impulses at the stage of mid-stage foundation building.
What if they take action after Li Jinhuang passes away?
Luo Chen thought about how he should deal with this situation.
After a long while, he slowly said: "One mid-stage foundation building, three early-stage foundation building. I, Luo Tianhui, can handle it."
Hearing what Luo Chen said, the extremely old Li Jinhuang smiled happily.
He saw Luo Chen's determination to protect the Li family!
Seeing his smile, Luo Chen rolled his eyes angrily.
"If the situation really develops like this, then I, Luo Tianhui, have put in so much effort, and your Li family will naturally have to pay a corresponding price."
"At least, I want half of the profits from the Li family's medicinal material business in the future!"
half!
This is an unbearable burden for any cultivating family!
But Li Jinhuang was still smiling.
"If I leave, the remaining half of the profit will be enough to support Yingzhang's cultivation in the foundation-building period."
Luo Chen nodded in agreement.
Taking away so much profit will not push the Li family to a dead end.
The remaining soup water is enough for the Qinhuajiang Li family to continue to survive.
When he behaves as a person and does things, he either kills everyone, or he is good to me, good to everyone, and he always has a very good sense of proportion.
However, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on Li Jinhuang's smiling smile.
"Do you have anything left to say?"
Li Jinhuang nodded.
Luo Chen was speechless. He knew that the old man was about to die, and everything was still as complete as before.
The reason why I felt something was wrong before.
It was because after some thinking, he found that both the Danyuan Sect and the Tanqiu Hu Family were within the range that Luo Tianhui could handle.
Even if they join forces, Luo Chen is happy and not afraid!
Li Jinhuang seemed to have expected the benefits offered by the other party.
If it were just like this, there would be no reason for the other party to take it seriously and meet him before he died.
As the situation develops, Luo Chen will always do what was discussed before.
Why bother?
Under Luo Chen's gaze.
Li Jinhuang spoke slowly: "The rotating sect in Immortal City is about to change!"
"I know this."
"Then you know that every time there is a rotation, it is the time when the forces near Tianlan Immortal City are at their most chaotic?"
"Um?"
"At this time, the Immortal City has changed owners, and the monks of the sect are busy handing over various things. There is no one in charge, and the law enforcement team is doing nothing. Chaos is gradually rising, and there are always people taking advantage of the fire."
"I, Luo Tian, have Ice Castle as my backer. How dare someone do this?"
"There are so many powerful forces with backers. My Li family still has an old relationship with Qingdan Valley. In times of crisis, will they take action and meddle in other people's affairs?"
Luo Chen shook his head.
His relationship with Ice Castle is not just as simple as old times.
The interests involved are extremely important to Master Jindan and Fairy Junqing.
If you really encounter a life and death crisis.
Even if Ice Castle is no longer the lord of the fairy city, he will not leave Luo Chen alone.
You know, Fairy Ruthless has already invested a huge cost on him, Luo Chen, in the early stage.
Seeing that Luo Chen didn't believe it, Li Jinhuang sighed.
"A hundred years ago, the Min family in Danxia Peak was destroyed when the sects were rotated and the Immortal City changed hands."
"Twenty years ago, the Xiaojinghu Fu family was almost in decline."
"Learning from the past is a guide for the future."
"Fellow Taoist, please don't be careless!"
Luo Chen didn't take it seriously.
The other party didn't understand how important the Jade Dew Pill he refined was to the Ice Castle.
Sometimes, the relationship maintained by interests far outweighs the so-called old friendship.
Seeing the obvious look of fatigue on the other person's face, Luo Chen didn't intend to bother him anymore.
"If there is nothing else, I will leave. After my fellow Taoist passes away, I will definitely see you off!"
"One more thing!" Li Jinhuang stopped Luo Chen who was about to leave.
"Um?"
"I have a level 3 spell, I hope fellow Taoists can learn it!"
Please give me a monthly ticket. I haven’t asked for it for a long time. It’s good to ask for it once in a while.
