Within the Pill Hall.

Luo Chen was having an introductory speech to twenty-plus cultivators, his first day at work.

There were words of encouragement and critique, stating that they still have much room for growth.

After he finished speaking, he dismissed the crowd.

“Although they are all middle-stage cultivators, most of them are feeble, ill and old. And females make up the majority.”

“They must have been transferred directly from the Medicine Hall, it seems like they all know Sister Murong.”

Muttering to himself, Luo Chen moved on into the house that the Pill Hall had built for him.

It wasn’t built outside in the valley, on the hillside.

But right next to the Pill Room, adjacent to the mountain spring pool.

Upon entering the house, Mi Shuhua had been waiting for a while. The two Stewards of the Elixir Hall, Sikong Shoujia and Gu Caiyi, were also waiting. Without any small talk, the two got straight to the point.

The content of the conversation was simple: the direction of the Pill Hall.

“The Fasting Elixir can be refined, but there’s no need to manufacture too much. About a thousand per month is sufficient.”

“I’ve done the calculations, the profit is too low. And with such great quality, it’s quite simply a waste for lower-level gang members.”

“These thousand or more pills, provided at a low cost to middle or late stage gang members as a reward, would suffice.”

Shuhua Mi spoke freely.

He has his own ideas about how to run the Broken Mountain Gang.

Luo Chen had no objections, creating more than a thousand Fasting Elixirs was merely a two or three day task for him.

“Our main goal is still Jade Marrow Pill!” Mi Shuhua’s expression became serious as he stared at Luo Chen, “Tell me when you can produce it.”

Luo Chen scowled with an embittered look on his face, gesturing with both hands.

“I’m still in the phase of familiarising myself with the pill formula, how could I possibly give you a definite answer?!”

“And you must’ve seen the pill formula, the difficulty in refining lies in extracting the jade marrow from Wan Jade. It’s a first order spirit resource. To extract it without affecting the jade marrow, my current cultivation level is simply too low.”

As Mi Shuhua’s age is rather advanced, ordinarily his face is flushed red like a wealthy man.

At this moment, his face is scrunched up into a ball, like a ball of rag.

“Indeed, it would be tough for a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refinement stage to carefully remove and extract the jade marrow.”

Luo Chen sighed, “If you can give me an extra vial of Qi Nurturing Pill each month, I might be able to make a breakthrough to the sixth level of Qi Refinement stage quickly. At that time, I’d certainly be able to effortlessly extract the jade marrow from the Wan Jade.”

Sitting aside, Sikong Shoujia couldn’t help but interject, “Wasn’t it agreed that you will be given two vials of Qi Nurturing Pill per month? Isn’t that enough?”

Shuhua Mi also advised, “Three vials in a month means that you would have to consume one Qi Nurturing Pill every day. Your meridians cannot afford such frequent consumption of elixirs.”

Not able to afford it?

I have penetration traits, and my Longevity Techniques are at the Grandmaster Level!

I can refine two pills a day, and three bottles a month are simply not enough for me.

Of course, Luo Chen knew he could not be too greedy. He had to take it one step at a time.

He said earnestly, “For the sake of conquering the Jade Marrow Pill formula as soon as possible, it wouldn’t matter if I experience the pain of my meridians swelling. Gang leader, I intend to give it my all for the development of our gang!”

Shuhua Mi hesitated a bit.

After a while, he finally nodded.

“Three vials of Qi Nurturing Pill each month, your dedication warms my heart.”

Luo Chen’s eyes brightened.

Awesome!

Foundation Establishment cultivators really are rich! The Broken Mountain Gang has treated me well!

Gu Caiyi, who was on the side, listened to his remuneration and her eyes turned red out of envy.

She could only earn many spirit stones in the last month of Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.

Previously, she could only earn two to three hundred spirit stones per month.

Now, Luo Chen’s fixed supply of Qi Nurturing Pills alone amounted to three bottles, which is worth three hundred spirit stones!

“Jade Marrow Pill is the main focus, but the framework of the Pill Hall has been set up, you need to have a stable source of income.”

Shuhua Mi looked at Luo Chen, “Just keep refining your Allure Pill.”

“What about the main materials?” Luo Chen asked.

“I will arrange for someone to purchase them regularly and in fixed quantities from Hundred Herbs Pavilion,” said Mi Shuhua, “Also, some of the auxiliary materials will be provided by the Medicine Hall. The Pill Hall will be required to pay spirit stones for that.”

I understand!

Luo Chen faintly smiled, isn’t this just akin to business transactions between subsidiaries of a conglomerate. The accounts still need to be taken care of.

This way, the Medicine Hall could also earn a fair bit of spirit stones.

Once the Allure Pill is refined, the Pill Hall could earn another batch of spirit stones.

“There are more and more outside cultivators in The Great River District, so there is a huge potential for the Allure Pill.”

“Also, our gang also has a brothel in the Outer City. When the time comes, we could also supply a portion of the elixirs to them.”

The Broken Mountain Gang has such business?

Luo Chen was surprised as he had never heard of this before.

After pondering slightly, he felt slightly stifled.

No wonder there are few female cultivators in the gang, and most of them are gathered in Medicine Hall, Beast Hall and now this Pill Hall.

Perhaps, some of them have gone to the secretly run brothel by the Broken Mountain Gang!

This old individual…What a scandalous act!

“Give me a list of how many medicinal materials you need in a month, Elder Sikong will arrange people to purchase them.”

“Yes, I understand.” Luo Chen said sullenly.

Mi Shuhua felt a sigh of relief as he saw the understanding Luo Chen.

Everything had gone back on track.

This Gang had cost him a lot of effort, but it also made him and his Clan a large amount of Spirit Stones.

As long as the Jade Marrow Pill can be refined in the future, he doesn’t need to worry about supply when he advances into Late Stage Foundation Establishment.

Being a Rogue Cultivator is too hard indeed.

It’s always good to have a force to borrow strength from.

“Alright, I’ll leave first. Elder Sikong will take charge of the external affairs of the Pill Hall. Gu Caiyi, will take charge of the internal affairs.”

“Luo Chen, just focus on Pill Refinement!”

Focusing on Pill Refinement is impossible, for life herself is impossible.

Pill Refinement is for earning Spirit Stones, earning Spirit Stones is for buying suitable Elixirs, which are used for Cultivation.

Now, since you are paying me in salary (Qi Nurturing Pill), why shouldn’t I directly cultivate since I don’t need to buy them?

Skip the middleman and start forging ahead!

Today, I got a bottle of Qi Nurturing Pill, and I received two bottles of Qi Nurturing Pill after the Bright Moon Hall meeting at the beginning of the month, plus the remaining two bottles that I bought myself before.

Luo Chen had five full bottles of Qi Nurturing Pill on hand.

With two pills a day, it’s almost enough for twenty-five days.

Combined with the Grandmaster Level Longevity Technique, First Order Spirit Vein Land in the Inner City, and the pot of Moonlight Grass that Fu Xiuxiu gave him.

Luo Chen is now practicing hard every morning and evening.

After another cycle of the Longevity Technique, Luo Chen opened the Attribute Panel.

[Lifespan: 27/75]

[Spirit Roots: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth]

[Realm: Fifth Level Qi Refinement Stage: 38/100]

[Cultivation Technique: Longevity Technique Grandmaster: 600/1000]

[Technique: Fireball Technique Finalization, Carefree Wandering Grandmaster 800/1000, Wind Control Technique Grandmaster 570/1000, Attraction Technique Grandmaster 600/1000, Entanglement Technique Perfection 380/500, Spirit Vision Technique Perfection 380/500, Cleaning Technique Perfection 300/500, Healing Technique Beginner 5/100, Concealing Breath Mantra Beginner 1/100]

[Skills: First Order Pill Refiner: Fasting Pill Grandmaster 910/1000, Allure Pill Perfection 311/500]

[Achievement Points: 22 points]

After looking through it once, he shook his head.

In this half month, he seems leisurely, but there have been too many things going on.

As for the Technique, Carefree Wandering and Wind Control Technique were used every day, their growth was the most, but there was no qualitative change.

The only one that was upgraded in proficiency was Cleaning Technique, which reached Perfection Level.

This was a result of practicing how to control “normal successful pill formation” for those ten days, and using Cleaning Technique multiple times to increase level.

The additional Achievement point also came from this.

Besides this, there is no other change.

It’s just that Concealing Breath Mantra and Healing Technique have entered the Beginner Level, and are not currently useful.

What he cares about is the progress of the Realm.

[Fifth Level Qi Refinement Stage: 38/IOO]

The logical increase shows that currently, two Qi Nurturing Pills can progress one level.

Through his own Cultivation, he should be able to make progress about fifteen levels in a month, which is already the limit of the Longevity Technique at Grandmaster level.

“That’s fine, with the supply from Elixir, and my own persistent Cultivation.

The amount of time I need to advance to the Sixth Level Qi Refinement is about half a month.”

After making this calculation, Luo Chen sighed a sigh of relief.

This speed, is very fast indeed!

Only when Meridians are clear, and resources are abundant, can this speed be achieved.

But when he thought about the higher Realm, the less progress pills can make, Luo Chen felt a sense of urgency.

Now the balance in his account was only more than seven hundred Spirit Stones.

In the past, it was a huge sum, but with simple calculation, it’s not enough for the Cultivation in the late stage.

Luo Chen, who was looking far ahead, was already preparing for the sixth Level Qi Refinement and the late Cultivation stage.

“Jade Marrow Pill…!”

“Mi Shuhua is anxious, and I am just as anxious as he is.”

“But despite the urgency, the initiative is still in my hands. Using this matter, I could still grab other things from that old man!”

When closing the Attribute Panel, Luo Chen glanced at the skill column.

He remembered that the proficiency of the Fasting Pill was over eight hundred before, and after refining more than two hundred today, it only increased a few tens of points.

Luo Chen frowned and thought of a possibility.

“Could it be that for each proficiency level, the corresponding grade of pill must be refined in order to make corresponding progress?”

The Fasting Pill he made today was mostly of Lower and Medium Grade, only sixty were an Ascendant Grade.

This increase is exactly sixty.

“If this is the case, then I have to carefully consider the grade of pills in the future.”

The next day, Luo Chen arrived at Crescent Valley with two bodyguards.

After leaving them in the valley, he called together everyone from the Pill Hall.

Without counting the transportation team and the sales team who were not under his direct command, the thirty old, weak, women and children in front of him were his subordinates.

“Today, we’re going to assign work!”
