Luo Chen wasn’t in a hurry to find Wang Yuan.
Going to find him alone, he would surely be accompanied by a few bodyguards. If there was no reason for it, it would raise suspicions.
Even though many people in the Broken Mountain Gang knew that Luo Chen used to be Wang Yuan’s henchman, Wang Yuan was indifferent and rarely interacted with anyone.
Even with Luo Chen, their interactions within the gang were not that frequent. If there was nothing to discuss, the two of them would not meet.
Seeking him out alone surely implied there was some business.
Without a doubt, Mi Shuhua would try to figure out why.
Luo Chen planned their meeting for the gathering of the gang at the beginning of next month.
Meeting at the headquarters then would seem quite natural.
Time flew by.
Or it could be said that from collecting materials for the Blood Ignition Pill, to refining, and then testing the pill, it had already been a month.
In just two more days, Luo Chen would wake up from his meditation.
He habitually opened the attribute panel.

[Achievement Points: 23 points]
He quickly scanned the list.
Ignoring his Technique, Pill Technique, martial arts, skills for a moment, he had checked it often in ordinary times.
The previous glance was at Grandmaster Level Cleaning Technique and the beginner level Blood Ignition Pill.
His eyes stopped at the very beginning.
He had aged another year, but his lifespan limit remained the same.
Probably it was still due to his transmigrator status, causing no matter how much he cultivates, the limit didn’t change.
Nevertheless, Luo Chen wasn’t anxious anymore.
As long as the external environment didn’t change significantly, he would eventually reach the level of Qi Refinement Finalization.
That would be the time for him to start worrying.
In comparison, the changes in his realm made him slightly joyous.
In about another month, he could advance to the Eighth Level Qi Refinement.
Even though he knew that the progress would slow down as he advances, reaching the higher levels earlier was always beneficial.
There was also the Longevity Technique!
With the assistance of Calming Incense and Moonlight Grass, he could operate it at full power seven times a day.
Months passed, and now his proficiency had reached 927. It would not be more than ten days further to Finalization.
He was not sure what special changes would occur when the Cultivation Technique reached Finalization.
However, the Finalization of both the Fireball Technique and Carefree Wandering brought about qualitative changes to these techniques. This made him look forward to the Finalization of the Longevity Technique even more.
After scanning through the attribute panel, Luo Chen immediately left the Spirit Vein Cave.
Arriving at the Pill Hall, he saw the duty cultivators arriving one after another but he remained still.
Lying there, he leisurely read the “Qingyuan Pill Explanation”. The Manual of Pills, always appeared novel the more he read.
Today was the beginning of the month, an unusual resting day.
The work at the Pill Hall primarily involved the replenishment of a large number of raw materials, and the calculation of last month’s expenditure and output.
Usually at this time, Mi Junping’s side would also send someone over to give
Luo Chen his dividends and the elixirs for the month’s wages.
However, Luo Chen wouldn’t need her to send it today.
After Gu Caiyi and Sikong Shoujia’s arrival, Luo Chen put away his book, waved his large sleeve, and went straight to the headquarters with them.
As the success rate for the Jade Marrow Pill increased, and the profits gradually increased, Luo Chen’s position in the gang kept rising.
Even though his seat was still arranged at the last row.
But when he settled down, all eyes in the room were on him.
No other reason, the revenue from the Jade Marrow Pill last month had once again broken the 8,000 Spirit Stones mark.
Even after deducting the cost of raw materials and wages, all the hall masters in the room had a share of one to two hundred Spirit Stones.
It was not much, and it even appeared a bit poor.
After all, the bulk was taken away by Mi Shuhua, and Luo Chen still took a twenty percent dividend.
But let’s be frank, these hall masters did not make much effort.
Earning a few hundred Spirit Stones for nothing in a month, who wouldn’t be happy?
More so, the income of the Pill Hall was visibly increasing.
From the initial loss-making operation, slowly breaking even, and now it gradually showed some profit.
In the future, it might just continue to rise.
Therefore, everyone had a very friendly attitude towards Luo Chen.
After settling down, Luo Chen casually listened to them discussing the gang’s affairs.
Only about territory conflict, cultivators, demon beasts, business, and all sorts of things mixed together.
In the end, it all came back to the resources for cultivation.
This time, no one bothered him. On the contrary, they occasionally asked him
if the Pill Hall needed any support, they were willing to help.
Of course, Luo Chen graciously refused with a smile.
The Pill Hall currently had enough hands. If more people were to come in, that would mean dividing the cake further.
You must be kidding. He himself wasn’t even getting enough of that cake.
After the meeting was over, Luo Chen collected his stuff from Mi Junping. Four bottles of Dusting Pills, one box of Calming Incense, and a dividend of twelve hundred Spirit Stones.
With the Spirit Stones in his bag, Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Last month his expenditure was a bit high, with extra purchases of Dusting
Pills, Calming Incense and Nourishing Origin Liquid costing him over eight hundred Spirit Stones.
Later, he invested in the materials for the Blood Ignition Pills and purchased
an Ocean Swallowing Jar, costing him another three hundred plus.
If it were not for his snack stall and milk tea shop in Chen Yue, which earned him nearly a thousand.
His savings would have plunged directly to three thousand.
Now with this additional dividend, his savings have jumped to four thousand Spirit Stones!
One could say this is an unprecedented fortune.
But Luo Chen is still not satisfied!
He had attended auctions and experienced a lot of grand scenes.
The price of those good things started at hundreds to thousands, and it would break into the tens of thousands if it involved a Magic Item or Core Formation Spirit Pill.
Compared to that, a mere four thousand Spirit Stones is really nothing.
Take the auctions, for example, if someone brought out a Foundation
Establishment Pill, Luo Chen would definitely bid for it.
But, would he have a chance to win the bid?
The answer is clearly no.
After all, the last five Foundation Establishment Pills resulted in a sky-high price of six thousand Spirit Stones for the one acquired by a rogue cultivator. Moreover, Luo Chen’s talent doesn’t guarantee that he could establish the foundation with just one pill.
So, more Spirit Stones are always better!
After receiving his items, Luo Chen planned to leave, not paying too much
attention to Mi Junping’s somewhat awkward expression.
But Mi Shuhua stopped him.
“How did you find that Qi Refinement insight?”
Luo Chen’s face stiffened, and understandingly he took out the jade slip.
“I’ve memorized everything.”
“Thank you, Gang Leader, it indeed provided answers to many of my cultivation questions.”
Not to mention that the Qi Refinement insights record a lot of common knowledge about each realm of the Qi Refinement period, and even after the finalization of Qi Refinement, it vaguely mentioned related things about the Foundation Establishment.
Mi Shuhua took back the jade slip and smiled, “If it was useful, that’s good, because I only had this one jade slip recorded, and others in the family are waiting to use it.”
In the family?
Luo Chen now roughly knows the situation of the Mi family.
Mi Shuhua has two daughters and a son, Mi Junping, Mi Junwang, and the youngest daughter Mi Junpei.
Of these three, Mi Junping has the best talent, but due to some earlier
incidents, she’s likely stuck at the Ninth Level of Qi Refinement for her entire life.
As for the other two, they are even worse.
Mi Junwang, with his Five Spirit Root Talent, was given up on by Mi Shuhua early.
The younger daughter is currently only at the Sixth Level of Qi Refinement, and her path is hopeless.
Because of this, there were rumors in the gang that the Mi family’s second-generation was incompetent.
But although their talents are not great, Mi Shuhua has arranged futures for his three children.
Ml Junping is based in the Broken Mountain Gang, helping him manage many trivial matters.
Mi Junwang’s responsibility is to enjoy life!
Yes, just that, enjoy life!
Marry and have children, marry and have children, marry and have children….
It can be said that dozens from the third generation of the Mi family, as well as
the newly born fourth generation, are mostly direct descendants of Mi Junwang.
A couple of talents have emerged from the third generation, such as Mi Zifan who has just stepped into the ninth level of Qi Refinement, and Mi Zihao who has a bit of reputation outside.
But these people should have seen that Qi Refinement insight long ago, right?
Suddenly, Luo Chen thought of a rumor.
It is said that Sikong Shoujia’s only son is about to marry into the Mi family, marrying Mi Shuhua’s youngest daughter Mi Junpei.
Could it be they have already agreed on this?
Then this “Qi Refinement Insight” should be used by Sikong Shoujia’s son
Sikong Yuanhong.
Thinking of Mi Shuhua having to worry about so many clan members, Luo Chen felt a headache.
Having descendants is definitely too troublesome.
Unless in the future he encounters a woman he particularly likes, it’s better to remain alone and free.
“I heard you bought some Earth Fire Evil Qi?”
As he heard a voice beside his ear, Luo Chen was startled, then nodded naturally.
“Yes, I’ve bought ten strands.”
“What did you buy it for?” Mi Shuhua asked with a smile.
Luo Chen shrugged, “What else could I do? The Qingyuan Pill Explanation mentioned earth fire in pill refinement, involving the use of Earth Fire Evil Qi, so I wanted to buy and give it a try.” ’
Mi Shuhua nodded, he had read the full book and knew about this content.
However, he still felt somewhat suspicious.
Luo Chen clicked his tongue in thought, “I suspect the reason I can’t refine Ascendant Grade Jade Marrow Pills is not my problem, but the Pill Fire’s problem.”
Mi Shuhua was startled.
“I can’t find Earth Fire, but if Earth Fire Evil Qi is used properly and added to
the Pill Fire, it should have a similar effect, so I’ll try it.”
Upon hearing this was related to Jade Marrow Pills, particularly Ascendant
Grade Jade Marrow Pills.
Mi Shuhua quickly became interested.
“What was the result of the experiment?”
“What kind of result could there be? When Evil Qi enters the fire, the normal
Pill Fire created from burning wood just loses control.” Luo Chen revealed a bitter smile, with a touch of regret.
Mi Shuhua also sighed, “The quality of Earth Fire Evil Qi is higher than ordinary Earth Fire, but it’s very violent, indeed not that easy to fuse with ordinary fire.”
Seeing his look, a stone dropped in Luo Chen’s heart.
It should count as convincing him, I guess!
He knew Mi Shuhua might be closely monitoring him, and his purchasing certain things would be noticed to an extent.
Things like Tian Yang Fruits are fine, common cultivators would buy to eat.
But the Earth Fire Evil Qi is not something ordinary rogue cultivators would buy.
Luo Chen suddenly grinned, “Gang Leader, as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, can’t you acquire a place with earth fire? I’m telling you, if I have earth fire, my elixir refinement….”
