The Origin Nourishing Pill, incredibly effective!
Unlike the Jade Marrow Pill, which has inherent flaws and weak medicinal power requiring Ascendant Grade to be comparable to Qi Nurturing Pill from the Spirit Medicine Hall.
The Origin Nourishing Pill only requires Lower Grade, with its medicinal power just a bit lesser than the the Qi Nurturing Pill.
It’s precisely because of this pill that the Dan Yuan Sect could support the cultivation of two Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.
Of course!
With such good effects, there is naturally a cost.
That’s the exorbitant production cost.
The high cost is reflected in one of the main ingredients.
“You mean the Yuan Mu Grass!”
Qi Yi quickly nodded, “Yes, the high cost of the Origin Nourishing Pill is because of the Yuan Mu Grass, it’s the most important ingredient, which can’t be replaced.”
“This medicinal herb is very mediocre, with strict planting conditions. In the whole Tianlan Immortal City, only the Qin Flower River Li Family has it cultivated.”
“That’s why the price has never been able to be lower, a batch of raw material costs about twenty Spirit Stones!”
Upon hearing about this material cost,
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
Qu Lingjun and Mi Li, who were standing nearby, were stunned.
The cost of the Jade Marrow Pill and the Allure Pill that they refined was only five Lower Grade Spirit Stones per batch.
This Origin Nourishing Pill actually had such high production costs!
No wonder under the pressure of Luo Tian Creed and the Zheng Family, Dan Yuan Sect couldn’t drop their prices.
No wonder such a big Dan Yuan Sect, including Dan Yuanzi himself, only had three Pill Refiners.
The cost of nurturing Pill Refiners must be frighteningly high!
With this insight, Luo Chen understood why Dan Yuanzi didn’t hesitate to betray everyone to seize Li Family’s business after the death of Li Jinhuang.
Such high drug material costs.
If he could seize the Medicine Field that grows the Yuan Mu Grass, considering the value of the Origin Nourishing Pill, wouldn’t he make a fortune later?
Pity.
After Luo Chen sided with the Li Family, everything had changed!
Seeing Qi Yi’s worries, he smiled and asked, “Don’t you know who the Qin Flower River Li Family is dependent on now?”
Qi Yi was taken aback.
Next to him, Xu Jie clapped his hand, “Hey, senior brother, you forgot. The president is the Li Family’s savior!”
Luo Chen laughed and shook his head, “There’s no need to talk about saviors, we’re just doing business. From now on, you guys just produce the Origin Nourishing Pills, the Li Family will provide the Yuan Mu Grass at cost price.”
At cost price!
Qi Yi swallowed, so wouldn’t every batch of pill material costs be controlled to about fifteen Spirit Stones?
If produced on a large scale, how much would be saved in production costs?
How much Spirit Stone would the Luo Tian Creed earn?
He didn’t dare to think about it anymore.
Luo Chen laughed loudly and left.
…
After leaving the Pill Hall, Luo Chen was strolling leisurely on the Danxia Peak.
This battle, Luo Tian Creed’s losses were almost none.
Only the group of Rogue Cultivators who joined the External Sect did not follow orders well, and lost twenty percent of their manpower in the attack on the mountain gate.
He didn’t pity these losses.
They were not even well-nurtured yet!
On the contrary, the gains were enormous.
And among these gains, for him, the greatest gain was the addition of Qi Yi and Xu Jie, two experienced first-order Pill Refiners!
This was Dan Yuanzi’s disciples he had been nurturing for decades!
The names were chosen well, one loyal and righteous, and the other principled.
Unfortunately, they both defected to the Luo Tian Creed.
Who would choose death if they could survive?
Moreover, Dan Yuanzi was not particularly kind to them before.
Naturally, they could not talk about loyalty.
Luo Chen roughly estimated that with these two people joining, after saving on drug production costs and auxiliary Fire Workers,
They could create nearly sixty to seventy thousand profits for Luo Tian Creed in a year.
This is just the most direct profit.
If they devote all their efforts and cultivate Qiu Yin and Ma Shoupu,
They could get a few tens of thousands more profit in a year.
That’s why Luo Chen, despite being busy, was the first to rush to the Pill Hall to appease these two.
“Speaking of which, the path I’m on now, seems a bit like Mi Shuhua.”
Unexpectedly.
Luo Chen thought of Mi Shuhua.
How he was seduced and threatened, manipulated and controlled until he became his tool.
Times have changed, and he’s doing the same things.
He seems no worse than Mi Shuhua.
The difference between their realms is also not much, both are at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
“I can’t fall into the same trap!”
Laughing, Luo Chen warned himself a little, then headed towards the back of Danxia Peak.
…
In this battle, Luo Tian Creed’s gains were too great.
Many things are not directly cashable in the form of Spirit Stones.
Such as the Ink Mulberry!
On the shady side of Danxia Peak, which was always idle in the past, is finally put to use.
When he arrived, Yuan Dongsheng was leading a group of people, busily working.
Seeing Luo Chen’s arrival, Yuan Dongsheng quickly came over.
“President, you’ve come.”
“Hmm, this place can be used to plant Ink Mulberry?”
Yuan Dongsheng said excitedly: “Of course!”
“Ink Mulberries are different from traditional mulberry trees. They like shade and can’t stand sunlight. They like to grow in humid and dark places. The back mountain of Danxia Peak, which has a similar terrain to Yuzhen Temple’s area, as long as we’re careful during the transplantation process, the survival rate could be above eighty percent!”
Eighty percent, huh?
Luo Chen too felt slightly excited inside.
The economic value of the Ink Mulberry is excessively high.
It’s many times more potent than the First Order Spirit Plants like the Purple Lan Bamboo and Zhan Star Grass.
Every part of it is a treasure. Be it the mulberry leaves, the bark, or the fruits it produces, all can be sold at a high price.
The only thing limiting its growth is the geographical environment.
As per his knowledge, at least six or seven families in the Tianlan Immortal City cultivate the Ink Mulberry.
Yet, the demand for all types of Ink Mulberry products exceeds the supply.
And most importantly, the Luo Tian Creed had obtained the Jade Silkworm from Yuzhen Temple!
This creature, a strange bug that is at its weakest at the First Order and at its strongest could reach the Third Order.
The silk it spits out is one of the most favored materials among Tool Casting Crafters.
“Chief Luo! I need to request a manpower allocation to permanently look after this mulberry field,” Yuan Dongsheng suddenly said.
Luo Chen was puzzled, “Isn’t the manpower from the Medicine Hall enough?”
Yuan Dongsheng shook his head, “What I need are skilled individuals who are at least at the Late Stage of Qi Refinement!”
Luo Chen looked confused as Yuan Dongsheng carefully explained.
Apparently, the Ink Mulberry bears fruit three times a year!
The Black Blood Sang berries it produces have a strong fragrance that frequently attracts various flying beasts and other animals.
If it is not well looked after, losses would be massive.
Luo Chen gave some thought and decided it made sense.
He immediately agreed to Yuan Dongsheng’s request and planned to assign a permanent number of people from the Battle Hall to protect the mulberry field after he returned.
In actuality,
Yuan Dongsheng has been incredibly busy recently.
Not just due to the Ink Mulberry!
From the Dan Yuan Sect, Wang Yuan had brought back many medicinal materials aged for years that needed him to carefully transplant.
Furthermore, the Spirit Plants from Tianying Peak and Yuzhen Temple, among other places, required the expertise of an experienced Spirit Plant Cultivator to resolve.
He was so tied up that some tasks had to be handed over to Feng Xia.
But this couldn’t continue this way!
Hearing about his predicament, Luo Chen, too, had no solution.
Eventually, he recalled the system he had proposed earlier.
The Luo Tian Creed should genuinely initiate the lineage system.
Otherwise, many tasks required specialized people to resolve them.
Immortal Cultivation wasn’t just all about fighting!
Expanding the farm and business was the real path to power.
The fights were merely a means to serve these ends.
Battles always had their costs, but farming was a step-by-step progress, always accompanied by gains.
While Luo Chen was pondering these matters,
An aged cultivator of the Ninth Level of Qi Refinement arrived uneasily at the portal of Danxia Peak.
“Halt, who goes there!”
“I am Wei Pingan, the second Elder from Xuchen Mountain, here on the orders of our Family Head to meet the Chief of your esteemed creed!”
In the surprised gaze of the patrolling cultivator, Wei Pingan nervously spoke these words.
Xuchen Mountain!
Wasn’t this the backing clan of the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator who tried to loot and kill the Chief on the Qin Flower River!
It was unexpected that they would take the initiative to visit.
…
Inside the Luo Tian Grand Hall,
Luo Chen read the letter Wei Pingan brought in silence.
“You want to beg for mercy?”
The unexpected words made the Elder shiver a little.
He trembled and replied, “It’s a truce.”
Luo Chen shook his head, “To beg for mercy, one should look like they are begging. I can’t accept the conditions in the letter.”
Wei Pingan opened his mouth wide in disbelief.
A one-time compensation of 100,000 Spirit Stones, plus five Ascendant Grade Magic Tools, weren’t these tempting enough?
The Wei Family had already been humbled!
Luo Chen put down the letter and spoke indifferently, “This is how it goes, in addition to the conditions in the letter, agree to three more conditions I put forward, and I will agree to let bygones be bygones.”
Wei Pingan gritted his teeth and said: “Please state the conditions, Chief Luo.”
“First, I killed the Great Elder of your Wei family. From now on, you are not allowed to seek vengeance upon me or any Luo Tian Creed Cultivator.”
“Second, Wei Tuo tried to kill me. Although I didn’t get hurt much, everyone knows his intention to kill me. He was killed by me because of his incompetence. But this time he took action, he must pay something in return. After all, I did waste a lot of Spirit Power.”
Looking at Wei Pingan, Luo Chen continued, “So, Wei Bufan will have to act on my behalf once in the future to compensate for Wei Tuo’s action.”
Wei Pingan opened his mouth but didn’t argue.
Seeing him being so understanding, the corners of Luo Chen’s mouth lifted slightly:
“Third, from now on, the First Order Cultivation Pills that the Wei family needs must be purchased from the Luo Tian Creed!”
The first two were conditions.
The last one was clearly business.
Wei Pingan was a bit surprised.
But he held his composure and suppressed his emotions.
“I have noted what Chief Luo said. But these matters are not something I can decide on my own. When I go back, it will be the Family Head who makes the decision.”
Luo Chen nodded.
“Of course!”
“However, I only give you three days to think it over.”
“Three days later, if there isn’t a satisfactory answer, I will personally go to Xuchen Mountain!”
Saying this, he showed a somewhat smiling face.
“I don’t know if you have heard the words that Wei Tuo said before he died?”
Wei Pingan, already terrified by Luo Chen’s claim of personally visiting Xuchen Mountain, didn’t immediately register the question.
“Which words?”
“He said, there is a ‘Chen’ character in Xuchen Mountain, which happens to be the same as the ‘Chen’ character in my name. What a wonderful coincidence!”
An overwhelming pressure descended from the sky on Luo Tian Grand Hall.
Wei Pingan instinctively knelt down.
His soul was disturbed and his mind was in chaos!
