Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 560: Chapter 236 Upper-level pressure? I’ll solve it! Reestablishment of Medicine Hall, Setting up the External Sect_3

Full of spirit!

As expected of the firm and decisive Duan Feng from my memories, who set his goal of slaying a Foundation Establishment-level expert during the Qi Refinement Stage.

Luo Chen nodded, “Do you need help?”

Duan Feng shook his head.

“The help you’ve given me has been more than enough. I have been studying the Foundation Establishment Notes you gave me for over a year. I am very confident about achieving Foundation Establishment!”

That makes sense.

Duan Feng’s cultivation is suffice, plus Duan Qiankun’s resources have been specifically allocated for him, they should be more suitable than anything Luo Chen could arrange.

Added to this, Luo Chen had shared his experience from five attempts of Foundation Establishment, which provided a wealth of knowledge for mastering Foundation Establishment.

If he doesn’t have confidence and assurance even with all these, he better not try the breakthrough at all.

“By the way, I think I understand what’s inside those two silver spheres,” said Duan Feng.

Luo Chen’s brow raised, but Duan Feng looked a little hesitant.

“Is there a problem?”

“It’s just a guess, the specifics will only be revealed when I break the Prohibition Array after my Foundation Establishment.”

While speaking, he lifted a small booklet with his Spirit Power and sent it to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen opened the booklet, his pupils couldn’t help but shrink upon seeing its contents.

He cast a deep glance at Duan Feng.

“Alright, then I’ll wait until you have successfully established your foundation!”

Sima Huiniang, who was standing by, listened to their exchange.

But throughout their conversation, there was no mention of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

She was left a little confused.

Sometime later, Luo Chen was already laughing, “Don’t worry. Duan Feng has his own fortunes. He doesn’t need that Foundation Establishment Pill for now.”

Sima Huiniang was taken aback, and then clapped her hands in joy.

Despite trying hard to control her emotions, the slight curve of her lips gave away her inner happiness.

Luo Chen laughed it off. Given his current status, a few Foundation Establishment Pills were indeed insignificant.

As long as one is determined and willing to pay the price!

Even rogue cultivators would have an easier time getting a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Next, Luo Chen and Sima Huiniang discussed some matters concerning the assembly.

This included contact with two forces not far away.

One of them was the Geng Family, they used to be foes rather than friends, but now that peace has been made, it’s better to cultivate good ties.

After all, a close neighbor is better than a distant relative!

Becoming enemies would be undesirable.

According to Sima Huiniang, their plan is to invite them to settle in Biyou Valley and continue their previous business.

After some preliminary contact, it seems that they are not as stubborn as imagined.

Profit appeals to everyone!

Biyou Valley isn’t large, but because of the rogue cultivators occupying Danxia Peak for a hundred years, a commercial atmosphere has indeed been cultivated.

If it is operated as a small-scale marketplace, it could also work.

Over the past year, the elixirs made by Gu Caiyi and Duan Feng’s magic tools were partially sold through the channels in Biyou Valley.

“If we manage it well, we can hold small auctions at Biyou Valley in the future.”

“Whether it’s to establish a reputation or earn Spirit Stones, it’s worth a shot.”

In response to Sima Huiniang’s suggestion, Luo Chen fully agreed.

Not to mention Luo Tian Creed.

Even the Broken Mountain Gang had its own private black market in the past.

His Jade Marrow Pill had a little bit of fame in that black market.

“Granny Yuan has passed away, but the Medicine Hall cannot be without a leader for a day.”

“I have three candidates in mind. Bian Zhen, who has profound cultivation, Feng Xia, who is very familiar with medicinal herbs, and Yuan Dongsheng, who has deep research on Spirit Plants.”

“President, who do you prefer?”

After thinking for a moment, Luo Chen slowly said:

“The Medicine Hall is important and it involves the two lifelines of Luo Tian Creed.”

The two lifelines being the Pill Hall and the more than four hundred Spirit Fields.

The former is fine, with Luo Chen personally managing it.

But the latter, although its value is not yet apparent, the profits from running it for years will be quite high.

It can even be argued that many small Sects are self-sufficient through the operation of their Spirit Fields.

“Therefore, there must be someone with profound cultivation to helm it.”

“Although Bian Zhen joined Luo Tian Creed later, his loyalty has been verified along the way.”

“He is suitable to be the head of the Medicine Hall!”

Sima Huiniang nodded in agreement.

In fact, that was her idea as well.

It seemed a bit wasteful for Bian Zhen, possessing such strength, to be under Zhou Yuanli.

“However, it could be a problem if someone not well-versed in medicinal herbs leads.”

“So, we should increase the workload of Feng Xia and Yuan Dongsheng.”

“I’ll appoint the two as Elders of Spirit Plants and Medicinal Herbs at the Medicine Hall, each in charge of one area. Bian Zhen can stay in the center and oversee everything.”

After hearing this arrangement, Sima Huiniang couldn’t help but admire Luo Chen’s wisdom.

“President, you’re insightful!”

Luo Chen gave a light smile. That wasn’t some profound insight. Luo Tian Creed just happened to have that many talents. A little thought and matching each one to their respective responsibilities is all it took.

However, the treatment of Bian Zhen led to another issue.

After several major battles, the surviving cultivators of Luo Tian Creed have mostly become elites.

Moreover, they all gained a lot and their cultivation levels have improved.

Just in the past year alone, three more cultivators reached the Ninth Level of Qi Refinement.

These people certainly can’t be idle.

“I heard you’ve established an External Sect?”

Sima Huiniang was taken aback and then quickly nodded.

“It’s modeled after Great Sects, creating an External Sect. But at the moment, there’s only the hired steward Xu Xiao Liu and a few Qi Refinement Middle Stage cultivators who run errands.”

Luo Chen stroked his chin.

After a while, he finally said:

“You can draft a plan to see if we can draw some people from within the Creed who don’t have special talents but are quite powerful to the External Sect.”

“This group of people will be responsible for the various trivial matters that our halls do not handle in the future.”

“Whether dealing with the outside or inside, they’ll connect the various Halls.”

“Set up an Elder position in the External Sect for you to manage.”

Sima Huiniang noted this in her heart, planning to implement it later.

The meeting ended around this point.

Luo Chen stayed at Danxia Peak for one night. The next day, after attending Granny Yuan’s funeral, he returned to Immortal City with Duan Feng.

After returning, Duan Feng went to rent an Immortal Mansion to prepare for his Foundation Establishment.

Meanwhile, Luo Chen plunged himself into the bustling Immortal City.

He started appearing in various shops.

Since he had already determined his main direction of cultivation, a substantial purchase was inevitable!
