Taking the box from Tao Yisheng, Luo Chen immediately opened it and took a look.
Ten middle-grade pieces, three top-grade pieces, and even a top-grade colorful chrysanthemum pill with six and a half cloud patterns!
Luo Chen was extremely surprised.
"It's so complete?"
Tao Yisheng sat down opposite him and poured tea as if it were cooked.
He rubbed his brows and said: "It was left behind by my Tao family's Nanshan ancestor. After all, he personally developed this elixir and once pushed it to the top level. Unfortunately, limited by the raw materials, the potency of the medicine has never been as high as that of our sect. The Shenglong Pill of the Gate.”
"I couldn't find it in the family treasure house. My sister went to the clan leader to find it."
Luo Chen listened to his introduction while carefully looking at the elixir in his hand.
Eyes, extremely focused.
This thing is related to his future cultivation progress.
The medicine was not as powerful as the Shenglong Pill, as he had expected.
Now, he just wants to know whether the higher-grade Caiju Pill is more powerful than the ordinary Shenglong Pill.
"That old guy asked for a lot, but he only gave a few pills and conditions."
"What's annoying is that my sister actually agreed to that so-called marriage..."
"Um?"
Luo Chen raised his head and looked at Tao Yisheng in shock.
"Just for these few pills? Marriage?"
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Tao Yisheng waved his hand quickly.
"It actually has nothing to do with it. It's just that Tao Daonan found an excuse. What I didn't expect was that my sister actually agreed."
Luo Chen frowned slightly and stared at him, waiting for the next words.
Tao Yisheng sighed and leaned back on the chair a little dejectedly.
"The marriage partner is Fu Li from the Fu family."
"After the Tao Seed dispute, if my sister wins the Tao Seed position, this marriage proposal will be invalidated and the Fu family daughter and I will become a Taoist couple."
"If Fu Li succeeds, or he fails, the marriage will continue, and my sister will marry into the Fu family."
Complex marriage plan.
Luo Chen chewed on the meaning of the words, and after some judgment, he came to the result.
"This should be the result of a joint discussion between your sister and the clan leader! As far as I know, the Fu family has a golden elixir master as a backer, but his lifespan is running out."
"No matter who of you succeeds or both of you fail, this marriage will benefit both of you."
Tao Yisheng nodded dejectedly.
"That's true."
"In order to compete for Tao seeds, my sister offended many people in Qingdan Valley. In order to prevent the future from settling scores, this marriage was made."
"Of course, this is all a matter for the future. For now, we have obtained the full support of the patriarch's lineage. From now on, people from his lineage will fully assist me in being a good head of the family. Moreover, in the first sword fight, When the time comes, the clan leader will personally take action to seize the position of the Nine True Legends for my sister."
Listening to these words, Luo Chen couldn't help but smacked his lips.
It seems that it is not easy to get involved in the cultivating immortal family!
There is an exchange of interests and compromises everywhere.
Both sides are compromising, and both sides are speaking out for their own interests.
The final appeal is for the entire family.
Obviously, some time ago we were all red-faced and disgraced.
Now, they are tightly tied together.
Even an old guy like Tao Daonan, half of whom was about to be buried in the ground, had to personally take action for Tao Wan.
"Brother Luo, I have only taken over the Tao family for just one month, but it is still struggling. I feel that I am not capable enough and have insufficient energy."
"It's hard to imagine how you managed to support such a large Luo Tianhui when you had nothing."
"Do you have experience and can teach me?"
Tao Yisheng looked at Luo Chen with burning eyes, full of confusion and hope.
Luo Chen said casually: "This is the starting stage. It will be fine once you become familiar with the internal operations of the family."
To this.
Tao Yisheng bit his lower lip bitterly and shook his head with difficulty.
"Some things just don't need to be familiar."
"This is just a matter within the clan. I can't handle it smoothly. I still need my sister to compromise with the clan leader in order to get the full support of the other party's lineage."
"What should I do if there is a fight within the family in the future?"
The words are full of confusion and fear about the future.
Until then!
Luo Chen discovered that in just one month, Tao Yisheng had gone through a lot of "vicissitudes".
In other words, it is not vicissitudes of life, but maturity.
I have lost my youthfulness and become more responsible.
Head of the house, head of the house, head of the family!
The young man who used to be carefree is now beginning to worry about the management of a family that cultivates immortality.
Luo Chen, who had previously dealt with Tao Yisheng casually, could no longer deal with the words.
Tao Yisheng's name for himself keeps changing.
Brother Luo during the Yuan Zhaoguo period, and later Dan Chenzi, who he respected a little, and not long ago, he taught him alchemy for a year, and now he has become a respectful and kind brother Luo.
Nowadays, it is very customary to call him "Brother Luo".
From the constant changes in titles, it can be seen that his trust in himself has been increasing.
Perfunctory, it shouldn't be.
Luo Chen sighed, looked at the sad Tao Yisheng, and said seriously:
"The specific situation, specific analysis, and how to do it depends on the situation at that time."
"The experience I can give you is that when you look at things, don't limit yourself to your own perspective."
Tao Yisheng frowned and humbly asked for advice.
"Brother Luo, can you explain it in detail?"
Luo Chen straightened his clothes and sat upright with a serious face.
"An individual's strength, before it reaches a high enough level, is extremely limited compared to that of a family clan."
"And you are only in the early stages of foundation building, so you will naturally feel powerless when dealing with internal and external affairs."
"But if you look at it more broadly, you are a descendant of the Golden Elixir monks. Your family has more than a dozen foundation builders, including many late-stage foundation builders like your sister and Tao Daonan. You even have the identity of the true successor of Qingdan Valley. !”
"In many cases, these external things can lend you a boost."
"Against the enemy, you don't have to do it yourself in many cases. You can rely on your own strength to fight, or you can combine vertical and horizontal forces."
"This is the big direction, but in the small direction. You have to consider the interests of many parties, what can you satisfy, what can others give you, or learn from each other's strengths, seize benefits from others, and give them to others. other people."
"It's more streamlined. You are the one who divides the meat. Others are not targeting you, but the meat in your hands."
"besides……"
This "Mo-Dutch Duel" lasted for a whole afternoon.
What Luo Chen taught was not some profound knowledge, just some relatively superficial theories.
He has not received any systematic teaching in this area.
Many things were figured out bit by bit based on the theories in his previous life and the practice in this life.
Just a personal talk!
How to implement it specifically depends on the specific situation at that time.
Luo Chen specifically warned not to copy blindly, but to make a decision after careful analysis.
But at least, after an afternoon of teaching, Tao Yisheng had some ideas in his mind.
Later, as I dealt with family affairs, the number gradually increased.
These things will slowly merge into his instinct.
This is the case in the world of immortality.
For those with outstanding talents, they are taught cultivation and various arts from an early age.
The so-called handling of people and managing subordinates is rarely taught in particular.
When your realm is high, you can naturally conquer everything.
But obviously, not everyone can reach the highest level.
Now Luo Chen stood from the perspective of an outsider and instilled some conceptual things into Tao Yisheng.
With his intelligence, he can always benefit from it in the future!
The only pity is that his considerable talent in alchemy will be buried in the complicated affairs.
In this life, human energy is limited.
It is impossible to be proficient in everything and become an all-rounder in the world of immortality.
Even Luo Chen learned to delegate power during the Qi refining period.
He is only responsible for making major decisions, and the specific implementation must be carried out by the people below.
Tao Yisheng left.
I left Moheyuan with a lot of things in my mind and hopes for the future.
After Luo Chen simply had a sumptuous dinner, he entered the training room.
He took out a high-grade colorful chrysanthemum pill and swallowed it.
After being promoted to the fifth level of foundation building, more spiritual energy is needed to break through this realm.
Compared with the fourth floor of foundation building, it has more than doubled.
If you haven't penetrated all the meridians, you can only take second-level low-grade elixirs as a supplement.
It will take at least ten years for him to break through.
But now, with the help of the Blood Evil Pill, he has penetrated hundreds of meridians, and has the master-level "Eternal Youth Sutra" as his main skill.
As long as it is combined with a high-grade cave dwelling, he is sure to break through to the sixth level of foundation building within six years!
This is the confidence that the skyrocketing cultivation speed has given Luo Chen after the hundreds of meridians have been connected.
but.
Just like this, Luo Chen won't be satisfied!
There are hundreds of great monks in the late stage of foundation building in the huge Qingdan Valley.
Many of them have stopped at the seventh or eighth floor of the foundation building, or like Tao Daonan, they have grown old and built the ninth floor.
Don’t they want to build the foundation of Dzogchen?
No!
It's just because the progress of practice becomes slower and slower, and even every small realm is as difficult to cross as a chasm.
It would take Luo Chen five or six years to build just five floors of foundation.
He could imagine how long this time would become after reaching the later stage of foundation building.
Fifty years?
a hundred years?
He didn't want to wait until he was over two hundred years old like Tao Daonan before sprinting to the golden elixir stage.
His target is Tao Wan, Shangguan Yan and other talented people!
When he was less than 150 years old, he built nine floors of foundation.
There is a lot of time to perfect the realm of foundation building and sprint to the golden elixir stage.
"My goals are no longer limited to ordinary sect disciples."
"This genius is the one I should chase!"
My mind gradually became calmer.
Luo Chen concentrated on refining the medicinal power of the middle-grade Caiju Dan.
The current level of cultivation cannot satisfy him, and a better third-level spiritual land is hard to come by.
If he wanted to speed up his cultivation, he could only rely on pills.
And Alchemy happens to be the skill in which he is most confident.
…
Three days later.
Luo Chen walked out of the training room with a gloomy expression.
He has already tested the potency of Cai Ju Dan at various levels.
The low-grade Caiju Pill is only half of the low-grade Shenglong Pill.
The middle-grade Caiju Pill is comparable to the low-grade Shenglong Pill.
The top-grade Caiju Pill surpasses the lower-grade Shenglong Pill, but is still not as good as the middle-grade Shenglong Pill.
Only the top-grade Colorful Chrysanthemum Pill slightly surpassed the middle-grade Shenglong Pill.
If Luo Chen had experienced an increase of this level in the early stages of foundation building, he would have been extremely happy.
After all, the medicinal power of the middle-grade Shenglong Dan, after digestion, is already half as effective as the high-grade Dongfu Movement Technique once.
One pill is worth half a day of hard work.
No matter how you calculate it, it's excellent.
but!
Luo Chen's current state is already at the fifth level of foundation building.
What he longs for is a panacea at the level of the high-grade Shenglong Dan!
Those who are only at the mid-range level can only make do.
But Luo Chen had studied the recipe of Caiju Dan.
He didn't know the difficulty of refining yet, but he could judge the cost of a piece of raw material through his rich knowledge.
One portion costs one hundred spiritual stones, which is comparable to the Jade Dew Pill!
Ruo Luochen wants to refine the top-quality colorful chrysanthemum pill.
Even if you don't count the consumption of proficiency in the early stage, the best elixir alone has only a 10% success rate.
This means that it will cost him a thousand spiritual stones to harvest the top-quality chrysanthemum pill!
It’s very reasonable to buy a bottle of second-level middle-grade elixir for one thousand spiritual stones!
But what is unreasonable is that the number of pills produced in each furnace of Caiju Pill is very likely not high.
Tao Yisheng only produced three.
If it were Luo Chen, he might be able to double it, or even produce seven or eight.
But compared to buying the second-level mid-grade elixir directly, it is still not cost-effective.
Luo Chen is not stupid, he can settle accounts.
Just by calculating this account, you can find that after reaching a high level, refining the top-grade Caijudan is a loss-making business.
Being self-sufficient will only result in half the effort!
"That's right. If it were a cultivation elixir that was not weaker than Shenglong Dan, the Tao family wouldn't be able to give it to me."
"I should have expected this."
"Just like rubbish elixirs like Chalcedony Pill can be spread outside, as long as the large sects control the more effective cultivation elixirs, they can completely suppress the ordinary cultivation elixirs made by casual cultivators in terms of cost performance, thus occupying the vast majority of the market. Part of the market!”
After thinking about this, Luo Chen only had a wry smile on his face.
The prescription of Cai Ju Dan in his hand suddenly became extremely useless.
He said he was useful, but not of much use to Luo Chen.
Call him useless?
However, it is not necessarily true that if Luo Chen develops resistance to Shenglong Pill in the future and cannot find other substitutes, then the top-quality Caiju Pill, which is comparable to the middle-grade Shenglong Pill, can be regarded as a backup.
It's this backhand that's a bit weak.
With a wry smile, Luo Chen walked out of Mohe Garden.
Looking towards the direction of the Tao family's main house, he was silent for a moment.
Perhaps, even Tao Wan did not expect that his demand for elixirs would be so high!
If you were an ordinary casual cultivator, it would be a great blessing if you could refine the elixir yourself and use it yourself.
But his Luo Chen requirements far exceed those of ordinary casual cultivators.
"That's all, maybe I'm a little greedy."
"The current situation has already exceeded my initial expectations. How can I become a big fat man in one bite?"
Shaking his head, Luo Chen left the Mohe Garden in a cloud.
He planned to go out and relax.
Tao Yisheng mentioned before that Zongmenfang City in Qingdan Valley has been very lively recently.
The battle for Tao seeds is imminent, and many foundation-building cultivators within the sect have returned, as well as many helpers invited from outside, and there are even many foundation-building disciples from other sects coming to watch the ceremony.
With so many people coming together in a short period of time, transactions will naturally occur.
"I'm disappointed in my alchemy. Maybe I can make up for my luck elsewhere?"
With good hopes in mind, Luo Chen stepped into Qingdanfang City in the clouds.
