Chapter 355: I Am Dan Chenzhi!

Chapter 355: I Am Dan Chenzhi!

"What is he doing?"

"Practicing alchemy! Ever since he returned from Danxia, he's been focusing on cultivation and healing you, and when he's not doing that, he's in the alchemy chamber."

"Is he alone?"

"Yes, over the years, the President's alchemy skills have become even more impressive, and he rarely needs my assistance anymore."

"What kind of medicine is he refining?"

"I don't know about that, but recently, the President sent a lot of materials, and I don't recognize any of them."

The conversation unfolded between Bai Meiling and Gu Caiyi.

As they were chatting, faint sounds came from outside the manor.

Soon after, Sima Huiwang entered the manor without hesitation.

The first thing she saw was Gu Caiyi, sitting in a wheelchair, covered with a thin blanket.

In that instant, sparks seemed to burst in the air.

But Sima Huiwang didn't say much; she glanced at Gu Caiyi and stood guard outside.

It seemed like she was aware of her arrival.

Before long, Luo Chen emerged from the alchemy chamber.

He nodded to Gu Caiyi and Xiaoling, then left with Sima Huiwang.

Outside the manor, they were still within the range of the formation's blockade.

Luo Chen, perhaps unnecessarily, cast another soundproof barrier.

Then, he asked, "Have all the messages been sent out?"

"As per your instructions, I've truthfully spread the news that the Luo Tian Association will be joining the battle."

After speaking, Sima Huiwang expressed her concern, "Currently, within the Association, everyone is in a state of panic. Even among the outer disciples, some of the scattered cultivators who joined last year have secretly fled. If this continues, it might have a significant impact."

"No harm done!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly.

"These scattered cultivators were never truly loyal to the cause. Their presence wouldn't have been of much use anyway. They understand the risks and came for personal gain. Now that there's a greater danger, it's natural for them to want to leave."

Sima Huiwang sighed, "The Luo Tian Association's development time has indeed been too short. Without the deep roots of a traditional sect, it lacks the strong unity where everyone, from top to bottom, shares the glory and the losses."

"There's still time, no need to rush," Luo Chen said.

Sima Huiwang nodded and then proceeded to update him on the recent situation.

The Linked Cloud Commerce Alliance had mobilized in full force, heading towards the Thunder Accumulation Mountain battlefield.

It turned out that Jade Peak Sword Sect hadn't wronged them; the Linked Cloud Commerce Alliance did have some connection with Falling Cloud Sect.

Even the scattered cultivator at the Golden Core stage who had served as a reverend was introduced to them by Falling Cloud Sect.

Aside from the Linked Cloud Commerce Alliance, various other powers, big and small, with some reputation, like Iron Sword Hall, Rolling Dragon Ridge Zheng Family, Vengeful Merchant Market Luo Family, and more, had sent their people to the Thunder Accumulation Mountain battlefield one after another.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators led the way, with Advanced Qi Condensation Cultivators forming the main force of the teams.

They converged into a river of cultivators, continuously flowing towards the Thunder Accumulation Nine Mountains battlefield.

"It seems that the large sects summoning their vassals is not unique to the Luo Tian Association. Everyone is suffering from this!"

Luo Chen sighed.

After his musings, he asked with interest, "What about Peach Mountain?"

"No movement," Sima Huiwang shook her head, "It's still a scene of revelry and pleasure, seeking joy and entertainment. However, there are far fewer customers, and it's not as lively as before."

Luo Chen tapped his lips thoughtfully.

Apparently, Hundred Flowers Palace was still maintaining its neutral stance and had not gotten involved in the internal conflict of Jade Cauldron Region.

Peach Mountain was one of the three major Golden Core assets of Hundred Flowers Palace, belonging to Peach Flower Ancestor.

If Hundred Flowers Palace were to side with one of the factions, there was no reason for the vassals of Peach Mountain to remain idle.

As far as Luo Chen knew, there were at least five Foundation Establishment True Cultivators on Peach Mountain.

Moreover, there was Xuan Yu, a late-stage cultivator close to the Golden Core stage, a formidable force in battle.

It was somewhat strange that the Food Fragrance Master of Hundred Flowers Palace had also gone to Qingdan Valley to observe the ceremony.

Luo Chen shook his head, taking a storage bag from Sima Huiwang's hand.

Inside were numerous materials he needed for alchemy.

After chatting for a while, he instructed Sima Huiwang to maintain the status quo and focus on stability.

After she left, Luo Chen entered the manor.

He handed the storage bag to Bai Meiling.

"Help me organize and arrange these according to the markings I left before. I'm going out for a while."

Bai Meiling nodded.

This was something she was capable of.

Seeing that Luo Chen was about to leave, Gu Caiyi couldn't help but speak up.

"Has something happened recently?"

Luo Chen gently rubbed her head, and the touch was much better than before, when her skin felt as dry as grass.

It was evident that the recent rest and recovery had been effective.

"It's just a minor matter, so don't worry."

Gu Caiyi bit her lip, her eyes filled with doubt.

The matter must be significant if Sima Huiwang didn't mind the awkwardness of their meeting and came personally.

It was unlikely to be a trivial issue...

The matter was indeed significant.

But in the face of major events, one must remain calm.

Luo Chen had already figured out the intentions of the various Golden Core sects in summoning their vassals to participate in the war.

The answer was actually quite simple.

The upcoming war would likely be extremely intense, and the major sects wanted to preserve their strength and avoid excessive losses.

Therefore, they intended to use scattered cultivators and vassals as expendable resources in the war while minimizing their own casualties.

This could be deduced from the various details in the documents.

After the battle at Skyward Mystic Realm, the two Nascent Soul Supreme Sects rarely had high-level cultivators personally intervene. Instead, they primarily relied on their allies from the major sects for the main confrontations.

But the Golden Core sects weren't fools.

Their cultivators were not easily cultivated; each one was nurtured with precious resources, and they wouldn't be willing to send them out for consumption.

Qingdan Valley had recalled its Foundation Establishment disciples due to the dispute over the herb garden, and Ice Fortress had been indecisive for so many years.

All of this showed that they were well aware of the situation.

In such circumstances, they still had to participate in the war.

So, they turned their attention to their vassals.

Luo Chen didn't know how many vassals Ice Fortress and Absolute Emotion Sect had, especially those outside of their direct control.

But he knew that Qingdan Valley and Flame Alliance had an exceptionally large number of vassals.

Taking Flame Alliance as an example, Luo Chen was aware of the initial vassals: Taishan Market Huo Clan, Rolling Dragon Ridge Zheng Family, and Iron Sword Hall.

And these were just the ones known to the public; who knew how many more were operating in secret?

If these subordinates were gathered, they would form an army of over ten thousand.

With these expendables, no matter how the war progresses, the major sects can preserve their strength to the greatest extent possible!

Expendables!

Unless a Nascent Soul Immortal who can decide the outcome of the war personally steps in, the war will be a battle of attrition.

Financial resources, material resources, and manpower!

In such a situation, Luo Chen, a single Alchemist, becomes invaluable.

The medicine he refines can enhance the strength of Cultivators.

With increased strength, the consumption of manpower will naturally decrease.

This is why the Heartless Immortal allowed the Luo Tian Association to participate in the war, but only allowed Luo Chen to stay behind, avoiding this war.

"If I can minimize the casualties of the Ice Fortress... no, the casualties of the Absolute Emotion Sect, why would I need to send all of Luo Tian Association's members to the battlefield?"

"Moreover, compared to the present, the future should be what the Heartless Immortal values the most."

Standing atop Tianlan Peak.

Luo Chen looked at the Manor's entrance before him, tightly holding two jade bottles in his hands.

The next moment, the Manor's doors slowly opened, and Luo Chen stepped inside.

...

Inside the Manor, Luo Chen stood with his hands behind his back, exuding the demeanor of a master.

The Heartless Immortal didn't pay attention to his mannerisms.

Instead, she lowered her head, carefully examining the pill in her hand, which was snow-white all over with clear patterns.

"High-grade Jade Dew Pill, Dan Chenzi, you've hidden it well!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "It's not that I'm hiding my shortcomings, but through multiple exchanges with the Qingdan Valley's Grand Pill Chamber, my Alchemy skills have improved, so I was able to easily refine a High-grade Jade Dew Pill."

Easily refined?

The Heartless Immortal's heart stirred, "What's your success rate?"

Luo Chen avoided the question and said directly, "As long as the conditions permit, I can provide at least a hundred bottles of Jade Dew Pills to the Elder every year!"

"All High-grade?"

"Yes!"

The Heartless Immortal fell silent.

A hundred bottles was a huge number.

Since her Daoist companion, Shang Hu, left, the Absolute Emotion Sect hasn't gained much influence in the Ice Fortress, which is why they were sent to the Heavenly Wave Immortal City.

As a result, she only has ten Foundation Establishment Disciples in her sect.

Their influence is indeed weak.

The senior disciple, Dantu Jin, failed to become a Daoist Priest, and they didn't receive any support from the sect.

With these hundred bottles of High-grade Jade Dew Pills, the cultivation of her disciples would greatly improve.

Without mentioning anything else, Dantu Jin could quickly cultivate to the peak of Foundation Establishment.

With her help, he would have a high chance of condensing his Golden Core.

This way, she wouldn't be alone in the Ice Fortress anymore, and it might even be possible for her to return to the core of the Ice Fortress.

She raised her head and looked at Luo Chen.

"You said if conditions permit? What kind of conditions?"

Luo Chen smiled calmly, "It's simple. Mass refining of pills has never been a one-man job. Collecting and processing the required medicinal ingredients is very time-consuming, and I need a lot of manpower."

The Heartless Immortal tugged at the corners of her mouth, smiling yet not smiling, "You don't want the Luo Tian Association's Cultivators to go to the battlefield?"

Luo Chen didn't hide it and nodded directly.

Before the other party could refuse, he immediately offered another jade bottle.

"This is... Huh?"

The Heartless Immortal, who had just opened the bottle, raised her eyebrows and blurted out subconsciously.

"The Blood Burning Pill of the Falling Cloud Sect?"

"It's not the medicine of the Falling Cloud Sect, but a unique pill of my own, Dan Chenzi!" Luo Chen said calmly.

The Heartless Immortal held the pill in her hand, and the rich fragrance of fresh blood wafted into her nose.

She knew this thing.

During the initial battle between the Falling Cloud Sect and the Sword Sect, it had a stunning performance.

When taken by Qi Condensation Cultivators, it can instantly unleash power beyond their own by about thirty percent.

It's indeed the perfect item for killing enemies across realms and escaping with one's life! Unfortunately, after the Blood Burning Pill of the Falling Cloud Sect shone brightly in the initial stages, it became extremely rare.

Never would she have thought that this pill was Luo Chen's exclusive medicine.

No wonder! No wonder the Falling Cloud Sect couldn't produce such pills later on.

As she pondered, Luo Chen continued,

"Ordinary Blood Burning Pills are only suitable for Qi Condensation Cultivators. But I can refine Supreme Grade Blood Burning Pills that even Foundation Establishment Cultivators can use."

"If every Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the Ice Fortress has one, many more people will survive!"

The Heartless Immortal narrowed her eyes slightly and said softly, "Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Ice Fortress?"

Luo Chen nodded, "I heard that the Elder's situation in the Ice Fortress isn't good. I can refine more Supreme Grade Blood Burning Pills and give them to you to win over other sect members. I believe that with these life-saving items, the Absolute Emotion Sect will fare much better during the war!"

These words were very direct.

In fact, they were somewhat disrespectful.

However, Luo Chen wasn't afraid.

From the Heartless Immortal's cold notification earlier, he knew that there wasn't much friendship between them.

It was just a naked entanglement of interests.

The Heartless Immortal caressed the blood-red pill in her palm, deep in thought.

Win over other sect members?

Not just that!

She could use these pills to negotiate with other Golden Core Cultivators.

In this era, Golden Core Cultivators in sects rarely had no disciples, followers, or family members.

It's just that...

"You can refine a large number of Supreme Grade Blood Burning Pills?" The Heartless Immortal said with some disbelief, "Although it's only a Tier 1 pill, it's a Supreme Grade..."

"Elder, I am Dan Chenzi!"

For the first time, Luo Chen interrupted the other party.

The Heartless Immortal's expression froze, but she didn't show much anger.

Dan Chenzi, a renowned Alchemist who surpassed the young talents of the Qingdan Valley.

Questioning his Alchemy skills was like questioning the Qingdan Valley's standards.

Even though the Heartless Immortal had a high cultivation level, she didn't have much say in the field of Alchemy.

After putting away the two bottles of pills, she looked at Luo Chen.

"State your conditions!"

At this moment, the boulder in Luo Chen's heart finally fell to the ground.
