“Therefore, the Broken Mountain Gang with a Pill Hall is the complete Broken Mountain Gang. The Broken Mountain Gang with a Pill Refiner is truly an excellent place for cultivation!”
“Without the Pill Hall, what makes us different from any other martial arts gangs?”
“Now cultivation resources have depleted, but even if we are just a modest group right now, we have to maintain all necessary functions like the human organs. Only then we can go further!”
The crowd listened to these cliches, smiling agreeably.
Over the years, everyone had grown accustomed to 01′ Mi’s way of speaking.
They knew that the real deal always came after his sweet talk.
“Xiao Luo, assigning you to the Pill Hall puts me at ease. After all, you are a genius who can refine Medium Grade Pills, and I’m sure your name will one day be renowned in the Yu Ding Realm!”
Despite being privy to this news, everyone was still immensely impressed.
After all, they were talking about Medium Grade Pills, not something he had bought, but something he had refined himself.
Luo Chen hastened to wave this off, “Gang Leader, my capability to refine Medium Grade Pills is simply due to practice, it does not warrant the praise of being a pill refining genius.”
Mi Shuhua, the Gang Leader, laughed kindly.
“There are different types of practices. Alone, you were able to refine Medium Grade Pills. With the support of the whole Broken Mountain Gang, Ascendant Grade Pills should be easily attained.”
Luo Chen wore a strained expression, “But the pills I refine have little benefit to cultivation!”
Mi Shuhua continued to smile broadly.
“How can they not be beneficial? Your Fasting Pills allow our brothers to hunt Demon Beasts and gather Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures with peace of mind. Your Allure Pills are even better. They can be sold for a lot of Spirit Stones, which our brothers can use to buy Magic Tools and Elixirs.”
Luo Chen wore a bitter expression, “Earning Spirit Stones is hard, life is hard! Despite working hard for many years, I am only at the Fifth Level Qi Refinement Stage and living in fear every day.”
“Don’t worry about that!” Mi Shuhua waved his hand dismissively, “Once you become the Pill Hall Master, you will receive a bottle of Qi Nurturing Pills from the gang every month which will alleviate your cultivation worries!”
A bottle of Qi Nurturing Pills was equivalent to a hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones.
This kind of treatment was much better than what the maids and servants in the big commercial houses in the city received.
The only ones who could possibly compare were the competent female cultivators of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.
Luo Chen sighed, “It’s a pity that I only have the Five Spirit Roots, a trash physique. A bottle of Qi Nurturing Pill doesn’t seem to have any effect.”
You’re kidding me, right now I can refine two Qi Nurturing Pills a day.
You are giving me one bottle a month, equivalent to just five days’ worth, who are you trying to fool?
Mi Shuhua appeared slightly taken aback.
Elder Sikong Shoujia, who was nearby, laughed and said, “One bottle is indeed a little less, how about two bottles? Conserve it properly and it should last for a month.”
After saying this, he again looked at Luo Chen kindly.
“Xiao Luo, in the past when you were a pichael cultivator, you probably wouldn’t get a few Qi Nurturing Pills a month. Two bottles are not a small amount!”
This should be his bottom line then!
Well, that’s fine. That’s not where the main point lies.
Luo Chen cupped his hands towards him, “If Elder Sikong has compassion, Xiao Luo has no objection!”
As soon as he said this, whether it was Sikong Shou Jia, Mi Shuhua, or the others, all breathed a sigh of relief.
Two bottles of Qi Nurturing Pills a month, to these Ninth Level Qi Refinement Experts it did not seem like a big deal.
“Xiao Luo, if you have any other concerns, feel free to speak up.” Mi Shuhua said, “You can’t be wronged for refining pills for the gang.”
“Wronged?”
“I’m not wronged!”
“I’m just afraid of wronging everyone!” Luo Chen said with a heavy heart.
The crowd was taken aback, even Qin Liangchen, who was well aware of Luo Chen’s plans for today, was stunned.
Why would everyone else feel wronged?
With the addition of the Pill Hall, the gang would have a stable source of income in the future.
This was much safer than finding food in the mountains.
They would more than welcome this, how could they feel wronged?
In front of everyone, Luo Chen’s face showed anguish. He touched his chest and said, “I, Luo Chen, am not gifted. I am afraid I won’t reach the Foundation Establishment stage in my entire life and will not live more than 120 years. Regrettably, in the past, an expert passing by our village said that I was born lacking and could only live for sixty to seventy years at most.”
“Ah..! I find it hard to imagine what the gang would do once you guys get used to me refining pills for you all and I am gone prematurely.”
“What!”
“This…”
“That’s not possible, is it!”
“Xiao Luo, you look quite spirited, um… not exactly spirited, did you not sleep well last night?”
With Luo Chen’s bloodshot eyes and haggard face, he truly did not appear spirited.
If you said that he looked like he was going to die young, it was somewhat believable.
“So Luo Chen, you want to make a will in advance?”
The one who spoke was Ke Yuelin, Beast Hall Master, and Qin Liangchen’s sworn brother.
Luo Chen’s face stiffened. You’re the one who wants to make a will, your whole family should make wills.
He hid his exaggerated emotions and said seriously, “I need life-extending items, whether they are Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Elixirs, or even some techniques.”
At these words, everyone plainly fell silent.
Luo Chen seized the opportunity to continue, “The Eastern Wasteland Million Mountains are incredibly rich in resources. There must be items that can extend life. From what I know, three years ago our gang had harvested a Six Leaf Heavenly Emperor Lotus.”
A Six Leaf Heavenly Emperor Lotus, one leaf equals ten years, if all six leaves were intact it could increase lifespan by sixty years.
Mi Shuhua blinked, “That was just a rumor, it actually only had two leaves. And after obtaining it, it was bought at a high price by the Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Spirit Medicine Hall and the Hundred Herbs Pavilion.”
“I don’t care about the past, in the future if we encounter such items, they must be given to me first.”
Luo Chen smacked his palm, rose abruptly.
Looking at his tall and upright figure, everyone remained silent.
This was something they couldn’t simply agree to.
Life-extending items are extremely precious.
They are priceless in front of the high-order cultivators who are in urgent need.
The Foundation Establishment Pill in Mi Shuhua’s hand was said to be obtained in exchange for that two-leaf Heavenly Emperor Lotus.
For a lowly Fifth Level Qi Refinement Cultivator like you, you have the audacity to make such a request?
Slowly, some of the crowd began to look displeased.
To put it bluntly, they had not yet seen the profits from the Pill Hall and there was no way they could agree to such a heavy promise.
After a while, Mi Shuhua said in a low voice, “We’ll discuss this later. You, Xiao Luo, are in the prime of your youth. Who’s to say you can’t strive for Foundation Establishment in the future and extend your lifespan to two hundred years.”
After speaking, he added another sentence.
“Young man, one must have ambition and not lose faith in the Great Dao Path.”
What a stubborn old man!
Like I would believe you!
Luo Chen expressed great grief. He stood up from his chair, allowing his figure to be fully seen by all.
“Well, it’s my wishful thinking that made it difficult for everyone.”
“Then Xiao Luo will make an unreasonable request, hoping everyone will give it some consideration.”
In front of everyone, he stated firmly, “I want half of the profits from the elixirs sold!”
