Chapter 96: Chapter 91:1, Foundation Establishment True Cultivator Mi Shuhua, Serve to Protect Luo Chen! (Second Update)_2

Translator: 549690339

After laying out all his plans, Luo Chen finally got out of bed.

“Regardless, breaking through to the sixth level of Qi refinement today is a joyous occasion.”

“Toast to a great day!”

Holding a green gourd, he drank pineapple wine as he walked into the courtyard.

At this moment, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

In the small courtyard, it was silent, but there was a figure, sitting on the swing, swaying idly.

“Caiyi, you’re not asleep yet?”

From the moment Luo Chen stepped out, Gu Caiyi had already noticed him.

She just gently nodded her head, continuing to swing.

Suddenly, she blinked her eyes.

“You’ve broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refinement?”

“You’ve noticed, haha, indeed, even if a genius is humble, even in the dark of night, he stands out like the bright moon.”

Luo Chen let out a chuckle.

After thinking for a bit, he produced a hand gesture, and his Spirit Power began following a unique pathway.

The spirit power leaking outside gradually returned, entering the particular Spirit Power Seed in his body.

In a blink of an eye, the spirit qi fluctuation he emitted was that of a Fifth Level Qi Refinement cultivator.

The Qi Concealment Secret Technique!

“Caiyi, now take a look, what stage am I at!”

Gu Caiyi glanced at him, her eyes lit up for a moment, then she said blandly: “Fifth Level Qi Refinement.”

Indeed, the Qi Concealment Secret Technique was effective.

Especially over the past month, he had been cultivating from time to time, and had reached a level of proficiency, where he could barely suppress the Spirit Qi fluctuation.

Luo Chen played around with fluctuating his Spirit Qi, sometimes big, sometimes small, enjoying himself immensely.

After playing for a while, he felt the atmosphere becoming as cool as the moonlight.

“Caiyi, what’s wrong? Are you in a bad mood?”

Gu Caiyi sighed, “Don’t mind me, it’s just I was a bit troubled seeing you advance so quickly since joining the Broken Mountain Gang while my own earnings have decreased.”

Luo Chen was stunned.

Income?

Indeed, Gu Caiyi’s previous monthly income of Spirit Stones from the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion was quite generous.

Especially after the grand opening of the Dao Debate Platform, her breathtaking dance had stolen the show.

The subsequent month, she had earned a fortune.

But after leaving the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion?

Even though she is now a Pill Hall Steward, her monthly wage is just over a hundred spirit stones.

Sikong Shoujia also gets this salary, but don’t forget, the old man also holds the title of Elder and has other sources of income.

An income of a hundred per month is already considered decent.

Within the Inner City, that’s about the level of a small shop steward or a supervisor at a large store.

However, this is nowhere near enough to satisfy the cultivation needs of a ninth-level Qi Refinement cultivator.

Based on this income, how many years and months will it take to advance from the ninth level of Qi Refinement to the state of Finalization?

And how much time will it take from a state of Finalization to breaking through to the Foundation Establishment to earn enough Spirit Stones to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill?

“I’m already thirty-nine years old.”

“Although I’ve always longed for the Foundation Establishment, I knew it’s an illusion.”

“But the Dusting Pills given to me by Fei Bowen back then, allowed me to advance to the Ninth Level Qi Refinement. Now, just one step away, I am stuck due to a lack of cultivation resources.”

I am not willing to accept this!”

“Luo Chen, was it right or wrong to leave the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion?”

Listening to these murmurs, Luo Chen was momentarily, left speechless.

Initially, he said jokingly that he would “take care” of her, then invited Gu Caiyi to join the Broken Mountain Gang, becoming the current Pill Hall Steward.

But only at this moment, did he realize.

The meager salary of a Pill Hall Steward cannot support her cultivation.

Of course, it wasn’t his responsibility, offering her a livelihood was a kind act regardless.

In front of Gu Caiyi’s confusion, Luo Chen could only say:

“Though I can’t say it’s right, it definitely wasn’t a mistake. The Foundation Establishment cultivator with the surname Hua who came to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion has only been there for one or two months, and I heard two or three female cultivators in the building have already died.”

As Luo Chen casually mentioned these observations, Gu Caiyi fell into silence.

Seeing her state, Luo Chen didn’t know how to comfort her.

He and Gu Caiyi were different.

In addition to his monthly salary, he also receives a share of the profits from the pill sales.

At this point, Luo Chen suddenly realized something.

The investment of Mi Shuhua and even the Broken Mountain Gang in the Pill Hall is getting bigger and bigger.

In addition to a few executives, there are dozens of late-stage cultivators who rely on the Pill Hall for their livelihood.

If his own profits can’t catch up in time, he worried that this group of people who rely on him will start causing problems.

Defection?

Looking for extra income? fre(e)novelkiss

Or gradually becoming indifferent to the affairs of the Pill Hall?

“It seems that the matter of the Jade Marrow pill can’t be delayed any further!”

Luo Chen had this realization flashing in his mind.

Not just for the others, but even more for himself!

The profit ceiling of the Allure Pill is ultimately too low.

Only a pill like the Jade Marrow pill that aids cultivation is a real money magnet!

Today was another day of starting the alchemy stove for pill refinement.

But before starting the stove, Luo Chen and the two stewards first met with three late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators.

They had been transferred from the three combat halls to lead teams responsible for transporting the Pill Hall’s pills to specific locations for sale. There was a team of thirty cultivators, but what they were guarding was only a thousand Allure Pills.

Truth be told, it was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut or like using a cleaver to kill a chicken.

But it was a mandatory order from the Gang Leader, and no one expressed any objections.

Luo Chen knew very well that this human-resources framework was not built to serve the Allure Pill, but for the future Jade Marrow pill.

After entrusting this batch of Allure Pills to the trio, Luo Chen casually asked about the places they were sent to.

It turns out that the Broken Mountain Gang has already rented a small shop in the Inner City, usually used to sell scattered resources from the Ancient Plains Mountain Range..
