Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster-Chapter 586 - 247: Termination of Lease, Attachment, Decline of Lianyun Business Union_2
Chapter 586: Chapter 247: Termination of Lease, Attachment, Decline of Lianyun Business Union_2
Now, I am only fifty points away from mastery.
With a little more time, I could achieve it.
Among all the techniques, my proficiency in Pill Techniques has increased the most!
The large scale of alchemy is incomprehensible in terms of boosting my Pill Technique’s progress.
After a year, the technique ‘Simplicity Hand’ has nearly reached perfection.
‘Washing Brook Hand’ has jumped directly from the proficient level, bypassing mastery level and is now at the perfection level, not far from the Grandmaster level.
Even the Cloud Transformation Hand, which was the last to be acquired, now has a proficiency of 250 points.
These increments in Pill Techniques…
On the face of it, they don’t seem to have much impact on Luo Chen’s cultivation power.
But in reality, they have greatly increased the speed at which he can earn Spirit Stones.
Now every time he refines an elixir, whether it’s a Jade Marrow Pill or a Tongyou Pill, he can save one-third of the time.
Even the Jade Dew Pill, which he just started to refine, has gone from being able to refine one furnace a day to half a day.
Luo Chen feels that if he can upgrade both the ‘Washing Brook Hand’ and ‘Cloud Transformation Hand’ to Grandmaster level, the efficiency of refining Tongyou and Jade Dew Pills will also greatly increase.
These two elixirs, because of their low yield per furnace and high refining difficulty.
Cause him to level up his proficiency level extremely slowly.
Last year, the preparation of Jade Marrow Pills took up only seven months.
The other five months were basically spent on refining Tongyou and Jade Dew Pills.
Especially the Jade Dew Pill.
There’s no choice, as there’s still an annual supply of five bottles of Jade Dew Pills to be provided to Dan Taijun.
Moreover, it is very clear that her demand in the later stage will only get bigger, so he must increase his production.
“Women, they always have such big appetites, never satisfied.”
“She can tolerate the current production in the short term, but in the long run, if the production level remains the same, I won’t be able to keep up.”
Luo Chen understands this very clearly.
Now he can bluff, all thanks to the Jade Dew Pills.
If he wants to maintain the sweet relationship between the Luo Tian Creed and the Ice Castle, and even make it one step further, then the production of Jade Dew Pills must increase!
It’s a pity that before reaching completion stage or even Grandmaster level in alchemy.
He can’t produce on a large scale.
He can only grind to increase his proficiency slowly by himself.
Perhaps it’s the same for other Pill Refiners in the Immortal Cultivation World!
Moreover, many Pill Refiners are far inferior to Luo Chen in the sense that they cannot command others to assist them during the refining process.
It’s difficult to refine a certain type of elixir to the Ascendant Grade and the production is not stable either.
Only those true Pill Refinement Masters can barely compare with Luo Chen.
And this is precisely why!
He dares to forcibly occupy the low-level elixir market in Tian Lan Immortal City.
Among the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment factions, there are no Pill Refinement Masters who are worth mentioning.
Having a Second Order Pill Refiner would already be considered having deep roots for them.
“Speaking of which, I wonder how the Rolling Dragon Ridge Zheng Family’s situation is now?”
…
The next day.
Luo Chen tidied up and prepared to go out.
Standing at the entrance to his immortal mansion, he suddenly noticed that the cave rented by Li Yixian was bustling with activity.
Furrowing his eyebrows, he went over there.
“Senior Luo!”
As he approached, the Li Family Cultivators quickly responded.
Luo Chen looked at them strangely, “What are you doing?”
The Li Family Cultivator, feeling somewhat awkward, pointed inside.
“The lease on the cave has expired, and we’re moving.”
Expired?
Moving out?
Luo Chen wondered, “Didn’t Friend Li Yixian renew the lease? By the way, where has she been all this year, I haven’t seen her.”
The Li Family Cultivator courteously replied, “Our Ancestor is now a follower of the Lianyun Business Union and is leading our family members on tasks for the Union. It’s because she’s often away that there’s no need to renew the lease on this cave.”
Working for the Lianyun Business Union!
Luo Chen’s expression became serious.
How could Li Yixian dare!
After coming to Tian Lan Immortal City, Luo Chen had also sent people to inquire about the Lianyun Business Union.
This force with more than a dozen Foundation Establishment True Cultivators had indeed been the overlord in Tian Lan Immortal City apart from the Great Sects.
They were in business in more than a dozen markets!
Moreover, Luo Chen knew they once secretly recruited a loose Golden Core cultivator named Lu Jiushi.
But time changes everything.
The Lianyun Business Union has lost its past glory.
Because they were suspected of being a spy that Luo Yun Sect had planted in Yu Ding Realm in the early stages, they were specifically targeted by the Yu Ding Sword Sect.
Even if no Yu Ding Sword Cultivator made a move, the Yuan Ding Sword Sect’s affiliated forces did not hesitate to make heavy moves.
Up until now, the Lianyun Business Union only has five Foundation Establishment True Cultivators left.
The others either got killed in the initial conflict or fled from the Lianyun Business Union later on.
Throughout this process, the Luo Yun Sect did not lend a helping hand once.
It’s clear that they don’t have a deep relationship with the Luo Yun Sect.
“When the Sword Sect suspects that you’re a Luo Yun Sect puppet, you better be one!”
It was also under these circumstances.
Even back when Luo Chen was not yet well established, he had no thoughts of contacting his old friend Elder Zhou Qing to form a connection with the Lianyun Business Union. He didn’t want to have anything to do with the Lianyun Business Union.
But unexpectedly, Li Yixian dared to be so audacious!
Looking at the Li Family Cultivators who were packing up in the cave and preparing to leave.
From their faces, the previous pride of the Li Family cultivators of the Great River District was gone. Luo Chen sensed something from this.
Perhaps they were forced by circumstances!
Indeed, when Luo Chen asked them where the Li family now live, they gave an answer.
“We now live in Cloud Mountain. If Senior Luo wishes to find our Li Family Ancestor, he can go to Cloud Mountain.”
