Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster-Chapter 555 - 235 Good Person? Cruel Person? The One Who Will Go!_1

Chapter 555: Chapter 235 Good Person? Cruel Person? The One Who Will Go!_1

If you want to get Spirit Stones, there are two quickest methods.

One is by killing and plundering. After all, “A horse doesn’t get fat without grazing at night, and a man doesn’t get rich without windfalls!”

However, this is the conduct of Calamity Cultivators, and one must be careful not to get themselves killed in the process.

Tian Lan Immortal City is not like The Great River District or Liuguang District.

Anybody there could suddenly become a great expert.

If that happened, the plan to kill and plunder would backfire, causing oneself to lose everything instead.

So Luo Chen would not choose this method.

The second method is much better and more peaceful.

Pill refinement!

Why does Luo Chen exhaust so much effort and even invest a hundred thousand Spirit Stones to secure Danxia Peak?

Isn’t it to establish Luo Tian Creed?

With this power, he could mass-produce pills through refinement.

Otherwise, relying on solely on himself?

He once calculated, using the Ascendant Grade Jade Marrow Pill as an example, without anyone’s help, he could refine only two batches of elixirs a day at most.

With the Ascendant Grade Four Symbols Tripod, one would be able to refine four portions of materials in one go, making it eight portions.

Taking into account a success rate of fifty percent, the profit would be around seven hundred Spirit Stones.

So that’s about twenty thousand in a month, or a couple of hundred thousand in a year, sounds like a lot, right?

Actually, it’s not that simple.

Before refining pills, you need to purchase raw materials and process them, which would consume just as much time as the refinement process.

Therefore, the time cost doubles.

And what about after the pills are refined?

You have to sell them!

If there is no one to assist, you’ll have to do everything yourself.

It was just like when he was a rogue cultivator in The Great River District, every month he had to spend two to three days selling his products by setting up a stall.

So if this process is considered, the time required increases further.

What seems like twenty thousand a month, in reality, is less than ten thousand Spirit Stones.

When spread over a month, it’s just a few thousand Spirit Stones, which is barely better than being someone’s attendant.

And as an attendant, one would have more free time.

After all, a large amount of time is wasted on pill refinement.

As for his cultivation, study of techniques, pill techniques, and so forth, they are both extremely disadvantageous.

So, what would happen if there is a power to help?

It’s quite clear.

All along, whether it was the Broken Mountain Gang or the Luo Tian Creed, a familiar pattern has formed.

Certain people regularly purchase raw materials.

Another group of people process the raw materials.

During the pill refinement process, they can refine two, three, or even four batches simultaneously.

As for sales, Luo Chen doesn’t have to worry about it.

The final profits will be several times that of working alone. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Not to mention those three months after he left The Great River District.

Luo Chen devoted himself fully to refining pills and produced Ascendant Grade Jade Marrow Pills worth a hundred and eighty thousand Spirit Stones.

This is not something an ordinary rogue cultivator can achieve.

Isn’t it often said that most Pill Refiners come from a great sect or a large clan?

They have their comprehensive channels from training to procurement, refinement, and then market penetration, distributing pills everywhere…

Life as a Pill Refiner is certainly much easier and requires less effort.

“After a year, Luo Tian Creed is gradually back on track.”

“I can almost restart my pill-making business!”

“Plus, with the assistance of the First Order Earth Fire Caves, the efficiency might be even higher!”

Sitting in the Flying Boat, Luo Chen contemplated these trivial matters.

Usually, during cultivation, he would devote his full attention and wouldn’t think about these mundane issues.

But now, since he is stepping out, he needs to plan every aspect carefully.

“Senior Luo, it’s been a long time. Are you going out again?”

Under the drawbridge.

Dressed neatly, Xu Jingnian waved and greeted Luo Chen.

Luo Chen smiled and nodded at him, then, controlling the Flying Boat, he took off into the sky and disappeared from everyone’s view.

Among the cultivators entering the city, some were familiar with Xu Jingnian.

After Luo Chen left, they asked Xu Jingnian out of curiosity.

“You’re normally not so enthusiastic or polite to regular Foundation Establishment True Cultivators!”

“Who is this that you’re treating with such respect?”

Xu Jingnian rolled his eyes, “This is not an ordinary Foundation Establishment True Cultivator!”

“Oh? What do you mean by that, elaborate!”

Xu Jingnian took a sip of his hot tea, “You know Danxia Peak, right?”

“Could it be?”

“Yes, this senior is an awe-inspiring figure from outside. He broke into Danxia Peak singlehandedly, defeating the top three of his Order with just one move. With such a person, shouldn’t you be quite courteous?”

His friend suddenly understood.

Indeed, for such a powerful figure, no amount of courtesy would be considered excessive.

Perhaps, when he advances to a higher level, he could be an influential figure in Tian Lan Immortal City.

Cultivation level equates to combat power, but not entirely.

There are those with high cultivation levels but low abilities.

A person like Luo Chen, who managed to defeat the top three of his Order with a single move, is clearly a born fighter.

As long as he continues to progress, he will undoubtedly be a strong contender among those at his level.

“However, showing courtesy is one thing. Why so enthusiastic? After all, you’re an Ice Castle Cultivator. You wouldn’t need to be excessively polite to every passerby, would you?”

Xu Jingnian grinned, “That’s naturally because this senior is very generous!”

“Generous? How generous?” His friend was skeptical, as the True Cultivators in Tian Lan Immortal City were hardly generous.

They each scrimped and saved for their own cultivation resources.

How generous could this outside cultivator be?

“Do you know my nephew?”

“Lil Liu?”

“Yes! He was Senior Luo’s guide for a while. The latter even generously rewarded him with two thousand Spirit Stones.”

“Oh! That’s quite a generous offer!”

“And there’s more. Senior Luo thought that Lil Liu was smart and efficient, so he hired him as an External Sect Steward of Luo Tian Creed, providing him with additional salary each month.”
