Ten days, it wasn’t a lot, but definitely not short either.
During these ten days, besides cultivating the Longevity Technique and consuming two Qi Nurturing Pills daily, Luo Chen had put aside all other matters.
He didn’t touch any Techniques, didn’t bother with combat, and made very few social visits.
Qin Liangchen and the others only saw Luo Chen cooped up in his house all day, fiddling with something.
Every now and then, an explosive sound could be heard.
They didn’t know what Luo Chen was doing, but the restless atmosphere within the Broken Mountain Gang was intensifying.
They were forming the Pill Hall!
This was definitely a major event that shook the heart!
Since ancient times, among the four arts of Immortal Cultivation, pill, array, instrument, and talisman, Pill Refinement had always been at the top.
Because it was hard to master, had strict training conditions, and required a substantial investment.
Even if a Pill Refiner was genuinely trained, without a suitable flagship elixir they could merely meet the internal demands and couldn’t profit from external parties.
Hence, only large Sects could cultivate Pill Refiners and form institutions like the Pill Hall.
Some significant Immortal Cultivation Clans, when they encountered clan members with talents in Dao of Alchemy, would also try to cultivate one or two.
Famous Pill Refiners almost never came from Rogue Cultivators; they were all from grand Sect families.
And now, the Gang Leader revealed that the Broken Mountain Gang was going to form the Pill Hall.
What did this imply?
This implied that Mi Shuhua had somehow recruited a Pill Refiner!
A Pill Refiner, at that!
If the gang had their Pill Refiner, wouldn’t the elixirs they produce be prioritized for their own members?
If it were related to cultivation, that would be even better.
Even if it wasn’t, as long as it could be sold, everyone could get a piece of the profit.
It could be said that once the Broken Mountain Gang established the Pill Hall, their development would only get better in the future.
When prospective members hesitated about joining, just the presence of a Pill Refiner within the gang could make them firm their decision.
Therefore, during this time, everything related to the formation of the Pill Hall inside the Broken Mountain Gang went almost unobstructed.
A new subsidiary was quickly forming, with its territory, manpower, magic tools, and even some supply channels, and so on.
Ten days later, Luo Chen came out.
He looked dusty, his eyes were full of bloodshot, and even his handsome face looked somewhat haggard.
Even the robe he was wearing had signs of scorching at the corners.
Seeing this, Murong Qinglian asked with concern, “Are you okay? Why have you worn yourself out like this?”
“No harm, these are just some setbacks and failures that should occur during the process of Pill Refinement.”
Luo Chen waved his hand and looked at the three people waiting outside while estimating the time.
“Today, right?”
“Yes, it’s today.”
Luo Chen grinned, “Then let’s go!”
Broken Mountain Gang Main Hall, this was Luo Chen’s second time here.
Besides the first victory banquet, he went to Crescent Valley most of the other times.
The location of Medicine Hall was there, and it was said that the Pill Hall would also be built in Crescent Valley.
As for why they didn’t construct Pill Hall at the headquarters, the reason given by the gang was that Crescent Valley was safer and more suitable for Pill Refinement.
Luo Chen didn’t comment on this.
They could decide on the initial matters.
But the next step was where the details mattered, and every penny counted.
When entering Bright Moon Hall, practically everyone had rushed back from outside.
This was also Luo Chen’s first time confronting all the significant members of the Broken Mountain Gang face to face.
Four Great Elders: Wang Yuan, Qin Liangchen, Luo Wudi, Sikong Shoujia.
Eight Hall Masters: Zeng Wen, known as the Sick Tiger of the Three Combat
Halls, Yang Wei, known as Long Panhu, Luo Wudi who also held the position of
Elder. Murong Qinglian from the Medicine Hall, Ke Yuelin from the Beast Hall Zhang Shicong from the Mining Hall, Mi Junping from the Merits Hall, and Wang Yuan, the newly appointed master of Jiao Hall.
If you include the forthcoming Pill Hall and myself, who will become the Hall Master of the Pill Hall.
Then these eleven people will become the Broken Mountain Gang’s top-level members, holding the most power and prestige.
Of course, above these eleven people, there was the cultivator with the highest cultivation level and highest status, Mi Shuhua, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
The originally noisy Bright Moon Hall suddenly quieted down when Luo Chen and the others entered.
“Haha, let’s welcome the Master of Pill Hall, the Pill Refiner Luo Chen!”
With a hearty laugh, Mi Shuhua stood up first.
The rest of the crowd also stood up, showing their utmost respect to Luo Chen.
Luo Chen smiled and returned his greetings, his eyes seemingly recording everyone’s demeanor at this moment.
Wang Yuan who’s frowning, Qin Liangchen couple with warm expressions,
Zeng Wen winking and making faces.
Yang Wei, also known as Long Panhu, sizing him up and Zhang Shicong, the
Hall Master from the Mining Hall.
Luo Wudi, Sikong Shoujia, and Ke Yuelin from the Beast Hall with doubtful expressions.
There was no change in Mi Junping from the Merits Hall’s expression, she simply stood quietly by Mi Shuhua.
Various expressions, not one was the same.
The only thing that was absent was unfriendliness.
In actuality, without direct conflicts, who wouldn’t maintain a friendly attitude towards a Pill Refiner?
With just one glance, Luo Chen gained confidence in his heart.
“My modest skills in Pill Refinement hardly deserve to be displayed in this august gathering. I am truly terrified that everyone has gone to such great lengths for me today!”
He was humbly throwing out words as if they cost nothing.
However, Luo Chen’s actions were very natural as he sat down on the last chair.
Seeing this, Ml Shuhua nodded slightly, which indicated that Luo Chen has temporarily accepted his new status.
He motioned for everyone to sit down and then spoke about the theme of today’s meeting.
“The Pill Hall must be built, and it can’t be delayed.”
“Think about it, two thousand brothers of the Broken Mountain Gang. They can’t eat, can’t dress well, they can only bitterly meditate for cultivation, and can’t even eat a single Qi Nurturing Pill..”
