Chapter 149: Golden Silkworm Continuation, Three Body Refinement Realms, First Encounter with Nan Gong (Part 2)

Indeed!

During the battle between the two gangs, Wang Yuan dared to fight across levels.

On the Dao Forum Platform, he crushed Blood Cultivators.

On the Clear River Street, he fought three experts alone.

I guess I told a joke.

Suddenly, Wang Yuan, as if inspired, pressed his thumb on his kidney area.

"Luo Chen, smell again."

Luo Chen complied, lightly sniffing with his nose.

In the next moment, he was stunned.

"The bloody aroma is gone?"

Wang Yuan nodded knowingly, "As expected, your insights can only be referenced. The Breath Concealment Technique itself involves blood and qi."

"When I was still a mortal, I learned similar martial arts. With a slight modification, it already has a significant effect."

Luo Chen swallowed hard.

Although he had easily entered the path at the beginning, it took him one or two months to reach the small success stage of concealing blood and qi.

Wang Yuan, by analogy, reached this level in just a short hour.

Martial arts and Body Refinement do indeed have their merits!

Since Wang Yuan can initially conceal his blood and qi, doesn't that mean he can move around freely?

Luo Chen's eyes lit up, "Brother Wang, my Sky Ascension Assembly still has a vacant position for a Hall Master!"

...

It has been a full month since the destruction of the Mountain Breaker Gang.

The chaos in the Great River Market has gradually subsided.

The Da Jiang Gang and the Lianyun Merchant Alliance have both firmly established their foothold in the mountains.

The initially highly favored Mystic Meeting, however, had a major conflict during the division of the Mountain Breaker Gang's legacy, leading to numerous disputes.

Even now, after mutual compromises and concessions, reaching a point where everyone can still accept it, the Mystic Meeting, as a five-family alliance, is essentially defunct.

After all, the Mystic Meeting was initially established as a loose alliance to help the three newly relocated families firmly establish themselves and target the Mountain Breaker Gang.

Now that the Mountain Breaker Gang is gone, those five families no longer stick together.

The Da Jiang Gang has to take care of waterway business, and the Lianyun Merchant Alliance cares only about collecting resources, not about territorial control.

Therefore, the independent cultivators in the Great River Market suddenly found that the pressure from the gangs had significantly eased!

Some small forces began to rise.

Among them, the Sky Ascension Assembly, which inherited the second alchemy hall of the Mountain Breaker Gang, also stopped recruiting new members.

Outsiders only assumed they had reached their current scale.

Only the internal staff knew that the President, Pill Dust Master, had begun a major alchemy project.

The location of the Alchemy Hall remained unchanged, still at the deepest part of the Moonlit Valley, in the mountain's waist.

However, the alchemy equipment had undergone significant changes.

Originally, there were three alchemy rooms, but now there are two more.

Five alchemy rooms, one large, two medium, and two small, in three different sizes.

The large alchemy room houses the Four Symbols Cauldron, the medium alchemy rooms house the Cloud Proclamation Cauldron and the Divine Wood Cauldron, and the two small alchemy rooms house two low-grade Purple Cloud Copper Furnaces.

Although Luo Chen's spirit energy is becoming increasingly robust, he still cannot manage all five alchemy rooms simultaneously.

Therefore, he can still only use the three largest alchemy rooms.

The other two smaller ones are provided for use by Mi Li and Tang Quan, among others.

Now, Mi Li can easily refine Fasting Powder.

After all, this is an unranked alchemy formula, and many independent cultivators in the Great River Market know how to brew Fasting Powder.

Luo Chen assigned the task of refining Fasting Powder to her, both to meet internal needs and to provide more products for the Sky Ascension Assembly's shops.

The only regret is that Tang Quan, after so long, has yet to successfully refine the Wondrous Pill even once.

His alchemy talent is indeed a bit lacking.

Zeng Wen occasionally comes to take a look and is so frustrated that he beats him up.

This concerns the happiness of your uncle's second half of life!

Today, the Sky Ascension Assembly is under strict security.

Luo Chen put on a brand new high-grade green Daoist robe and entered the alchemy room.

"Light the fire!"

His expression was solemn, with a hint of excitement.

Finally, no one is constantly monitoring his alchemy anymore.

From now on, he can freely refine the pills he likes.

For an alchemist, this is undoubtedly the happiest thing.

Two hours later, Luo Chen, slightly tired, stopped the alchemy work.

Even though it was still three alchemy rooms, one of them was replaced with a first-grade medium cauldron, so there was an additional set of raw materials.

Now, he has to manage the refinement of eight sets of raw materials at once.

The consumption of spirit and willpower is undoubtedly immense.

This isn't just an additional set; it's a sudden reaching of the critical point from a previously effortless state.

"I must continue practicing the Enlightened Spirit and Malevolent Energy Breaking technique!"

Luo Chen sighed, immediately notifying the Pill Nurturers to come and collect the pills.

The leader of the Pill Nurturers is named Qiu Ying.

She is a female cultivator from the Medicine Hall, at the sixth level of Qi Cultivation.

She now leads both the Pill Nurturers and the Herbal Apprentices, effectively holding two positions.

For this, Luo Chen has offered her a salary equivalent to a late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivator.

One cannot be too harsh on workers!

"Twenty low-grade Jade Marrow Pills, eighty medium-grade Jade Marrow Pills!"

When Qiu Ying read out this number, she was only slightly surprised.

President Pill Dust Master is indeed highly skilled in alchemy.

But in the hearts of the two surviving Pill Nurturers, this caused a great upheaval.

---

Luo chen sighed, his eyes catching a glimpse of a small figure.

"Stay still! "

The small boy obediently stood there, his height noticeably shorter than Luo Chen, who was sitting down.

Luo chen looked at him, his expression stern: "Is the pill room that dangerous? Who let you go in there?"

The small boy timidly replied, "I wanted to help."

"Help? " Luo chen could not help but laugh,, "Your height hasn't reached the level of a cultivator yet. What kind of help can you offer?"

" President, president, did you get hit by the spirit balance?" A grizzled voice came from the pill room entry, anxious and hurried.

"This child, he's been causing trouble every day for five days. He must be severely disciplined!"

But he didn't go through with it, Luo chen lifted a hand with a spirit of strength, "Got it, stop fidgeting."

"Who knew you were so capable of handling the stone? With your height, you can only help with the the’s essence spirit."

five days, you can finally try your hand at the first-r ank pill."

The voice of Qu han city came hurriedly, "With our Luo chen in charge of the hall, we've arranged for several pill rooms to be rotated among the alchemists. Qu han city ran over, not saying a word to the spirit balance, about to strike the butto."

"Kid, knowing you've been naughty, your mother couldn't help it, I brought you here to the slanted moon valley."

"Coming here was convenient to watch, and coming again, I also wanted you to learn something."

At this, Qu han city sighed, "Our Luo yuan has so many people, and with each spirit balance we learn something, there's nothing to worry about after I'm dead."

Indeed, the people inside the pill room were numerous.

Especially the dan hall, drawing on the essence of the broken mountain band, the spirit balance had grown potent.

Qu spirit balance blinked his large eyes, pointing at the largest pill room, "Thebig thing?"

That's right, there is indeed a large thing inside, a four symbols cauldron reaching a zhang of one zhang.

Luo chen carefully measured the spirit balance for a moment, reflecting on the matter.

A voice from the pill room entry came hurriedly, "Too dangerous, that's the president's treasures and the like."

Xiue moon valley cultivator, characteristically gentle and patient, had been previously in charge of the spirit balance.

Unexpectedly, Luo Chen shook his head.

He beckoned, and Qu Lingjun walked over to him with a lively step.

"Can you read?"

"Yes! My mother taught me."

"Then I'll give you a task."

A book landed in the small hands, with the four words "Herb Pictorial" written on it.

"Within a month, memorize this book. I don’t require you to understand it, just memorize everything, including the illustrations."

The moment he heard about memorizing a book, the little boy's face turned gloomy.

But when he heard there were illustrations, his face lit up with curiosity.

"Lingjun, quickly thank the President!" Qu Hancheng was overjoyed and quickly pulled the little boy to express gratitude.

Hearing the clear and crisp voice of thanks, Luo Chen didn't mind.

He waved his hand, signaling the two to leave.

Sitting in his place, his eyes showed deep thought.

After a long while, he got up and entered Mi Li's alchemy room.

He saw Supervisor Qiu Ying and Mi Li, who were excitedly counting the newly refined Fasting Pills amidst the rising steam.

In the steam, their two beautiful faces were filled with excitement.

"The Sky Ascension Assembly is finally on the right track!"

Luo Chen sighed, then turned and left.

...

"This is the Nan Gong Family Ancestral Land!"

Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang stood guard on either side, with Elder Sima Xian leading a ten-man team behind them.

The former was introducing the cluster of buildings below to Luo Chen.

"That area is under construction for a beast arena. It's said that the Nan Gong Family will dispatch cultivators to guard it."

"This side is..."

Looking down, Luo Chen's expression was complex.

Nan Gong Clan Ancestral Land?

It was just the Mi Family Ancestral Land!

Recalling two months ago, when he came here alone, all he saw were Mi Family members.

Now, everything had changed.

"Who are you!"

A stern voice came from below, followed by a figure flying up.

Luo Chen didn't speak; Sima Xian stepped forward.

"I am Dan Dust Master of the Sky Ascension Assembly, holding a visiting card, to pay respects to Senior Nan Gong Jin!"

As he spoke, a gold-embossed card flew out.

The Nan Gong Family cultivator was stunned for a moment, then instinctively reached out to catch it.

However, as soon as he touched it, his face changed.

In mid-air, he was pushed back three zhang by a powerful force.

"You!"

Sima Xian, with his cold and taciturn personality, merely pulled the corners of his mouth at the sight.

The cultivator, with anger in his eyes, said, "Wait," and flew back to the cluster of buildings below.

After he left, Zhou Yuanli worriedly said, "President, will we offend the Nan Gong Family like this?"

Luo Chen shook his head and didn't speak.

Sima Xian's impolite actions were not out of his own will but were specifically instructed by Luo Chen.

He wasn't blindly arrogant in making such an offense.

In fact, he was testing how useful Miao Wen's name was, and the results would be seen immediately.

Led by a cultivator, Luo Chen met the master of the Nan Gong Family in a flower hall.

The young master!

Luo Chen looked at the handsome face with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, reminiscent of Pan An, and his brow involuntarily furrowed.

It was Nan Gong Qin, not the Foundation Establishment cultivator Nan Gong Jin!

"Surely you must be the President of the Sky Ascension Assembly, Master Dan Dust! Long admired, long admired!"

Luo Chen relaxed his brow and extended his hand, smiling.

"My name is Luo Chen, nice to meet you, Fellow Daoist Nan Gong."

Nan Gong Qin wasn't surprised; people like them already knew the real information about Dan Dust.

He immediately sat down in the main seat and chuckled, "There's no smoke without fire; Fellow Daoist, what brings you here uninvited?"

In his hand, he was playing with the gold-embossed card, which bore the name of Dan Dust from the Sky Ascension Assembly.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "I want to discuss a small business deal. Is your family interested?"

"Oh?"

"It's related to the Fuzhu Deer."

"Go on."

After a long while, Nan Gong Qin nodded in understanding.

"Indeed, it's a good deal, beneficial to both of us."

"But..."

The moment these two words were spoken, Luo Chen, who had been smiling, retracted his smile.

Nan Gong Qin's smile was forced, "We have just moved here, and everything is in disarray. We are currently building extensively and can't spare the resources to provide a stable supply of Fuzhu Deer milk to your assembly. So..."

"I apologize!"

Luo Chen's face turned slightly grim. After a few more words, he bid farewell and left.

Nan Gong Qin only escorted him to the door of the flower hall and didn't see him off any further.

Watching Luo Chen's departing back, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Just a mere Eighth Level Qi Cultivation cultivator, acting like a lord in front of him, really thinking he's someone important!

Suddenly, he sensed a movement in his ear and immediately walked backward.

In no time, he reached a spirit-filled underground meditation room.

Stepping inside, he took a deep breath, feeling his entire body become lighter.

"Father, the spirit vein here is truly remarkable, having a Second Rank effect."

On the mat inside, a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged opened his eyes.

His gaze fell on a corner, showing a hint of pain.

"All of this is from Medium Grade Spirit Stones; it can't be used for long-term cultivation, only for emergencies."

Nan Gong Qin, hearing this, also realized the situation.

After all, it was just a First Rank spirit vein. The abundance of spirit energy here was due to the Spirit Gathering Array converting Medium Grade Spirit Stones.

Long-term cultivation would consume a lot of resources.

Realizing this, he became even more puzzled.

"If that's the case, why did you refuse Luo Chen's business proposal? It's a deal worth over a thousand spirit stones a month, which could earn a lot over a year."

The valuable parts of the Fuzhu Deer were the antlers and blood; the rest, like bones, flesh, and milk, were useless.

The Sky Ascension Assembly's business would help them increase their resources.

However, Nan Gong Jin shook his head.

"Xiao Qin, you don't understand."

"Doing business isn't just about profits; it's also about the other party."

Nan Gong Qin was puzzled, "Isn't the Sky Ascension Assembly under Steward Miao's protection? He comes from the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, and we should give him face!"

"Face, of course, must be given.

But how should we give it to him?"

"If we give it to him incorrectly, it might make him unhappy."

Nan Gong Jin did not point it out directly but guided him patiently, allowing the future Nan Gong family leader to think for himself.

Nan Gong Qin was also accustomed to this mode of conversation, frowning as he carefully pondered.

After a while, he seemed to have an epiphany.

"Father means that Steward Miao values Luo Chen's alchemy skills. If he has any requests related to alchemy, we should meet them."

"In this way, we also take care of Steward Miao's face."

"But in other areas, there's no need to do so?"

Once he understood this, Nan Gong Qin's mind opened up.

He paced in the quiet room, speaking eloquently.

"Once someone has power and a large number of subordinates to command, their ambitions will naturally grow."

"But in Steward Miao's view, he doesn't want another Mountain Breaker Gang under his command. He only wants a stable Luo Tian Assembly for alchemy."

"Therefore, apart from the alchemy business, we don't need to pay much attention to Pill Dust Master."

"If we get too close, it might make Steward Miao unhappy."

What a teachable child! Nan Gong Jin smiled slightly. "That's the right idea. Moreover, we have to consider that the Luo Tian Assembly originated from the Mountain Breaker Gang."

"In other words, this force has deep blood feuds with our five major families, the Great River Gang, and the Lianyun Merchant Alliance."

"In that battle, how many Mountain Breaker Gang cultivators died at our hands? Among those who survived, are there any of their relatives or friends?"

"In this situation, we must be careful in how we interact with them."

"Even a slight misstep might make other families unhappy."

After hearing this, Nan Gong Qin felt deeply.

Not only did the Luo Tian Assembly have a grudge against them, but the five major families also had significant grievances with the Luo Tian Assembly.

Without mentioning anything else, Qin Liang Chen was an obstacle that the Nan Gong family couldn't overcome!

Ten clan members died in that golden blaze, and even he himself suffered serious injuries.

If there's ever a chance, a decision must be made.

"Father, I understand."

"Since that's the case, in the future, I will treat the Luo Tian Assembly as a minor independent force, except for matters related to alchemy."

After saying this, he left the quiet room.

Walking through the quiet secret passage, he suddenly had a realization.

Today, Luo Chen presented a visiting card to his father, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage.

But his father had him handle it, which hinted at this intention.

He could give Steward Miao face, but there was no need to give "Pill Dust Master" face.

...

In the wilderness, a group of thirteen people was walking slowly.

They did not use the Wind Control Technique or fly on magical artifacts; they simply walked.

Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang followed closely behind.

Sima Xian led the group, dispersing in all directions to prevent any enemies.

The person in the center had a somewhat gloomy expression.

"The title of investor, 'Miao Wen,' isn't very effective!"

Luo Chen recalled the initial negotiation with the Nan Gong family, with every scene playing in his mind.

They were very tolerant of him, even slightly rude behavior didn't raise any issues.

This was the influence of Miao Wen.

However, when it came to business...

"No, Nan Gong Qin was initially interested."

"But once he learned that it had nothing to do with alchemy, he firmly rejected it."

"So, did the Nan Gong family's influence make a decision based on Miao Wen's psychology?"

After thinking about this, Luo Chen felt a bit uncomfortable.

The Luo Tian Assembly indeed centered around him, serving his alchemy.

But relying solely on alchemy, this force would not last long.

Having so many people just sitting around was a waste.

Even if they couldn't achieve the comprehensive development of the Mountain Breaker Gang, they should at least walk on multiple paths.

Luo Chen didn't want to overreach and make mistakes.

Therefore, he planned to start small, using something insignificant like the Fuzhu milk tea, step by step.

It was both to open the way and to test Miao Wen's tolerance.

Ultimately, Miao Wen was different from Uncle Mi.

Before exploiting Uncle Mi, Luo Chen had learned about his character and behavior from Qin Liang Chen, Wang Yuan, Zeng Wen, and many other cultivators from the Medicine Hall.

Understanding his personality and general behavior, he could target his exploitation more effectively.

But Miao Wen was a true cultivator from a major sect.

He had limited contact with him, and outside evaluations of him were mixed.

All his understanding of him was inaccurate.

There was a high possibility that it was a mask he presented.

Especially considering how, back then, Miao Wen effortlessly achieved multiple goals with one action and even conducted a probing question on him.

This person was definitely not as kind as he appeared.

In this situation, he had to consider the other party's reaction in everything he did.

But from today's test, things didn't seem to be going well!

Suddenly, Luo Chen stopped in his tracks.

Because Sima Xian had come to him.

"What's wrong?"

"President, we might need to take a detour."

"Hmm?"

...

A massive fort stood on the vast plain of the wilderness.

The corner towers were tall, and the walls were long and new, indicating it was recently built.

Banners hung high, fluttering in the wind.

On the fort's wall, a dark blue plaque hung, inscribed with two characters—Fu Family!

Looking at this massive fort, with over a hundred people moving about inside and many ordinary people cultivating the fields nearby, Luo Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.
