Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

In other words, if the raw materials run out, they must be replenished at any time.

And who knows how many raw materials would be used in half a year.

Also, the “Spirit Vein Land” he seems to be satisfied with is actually a pipe dream.

The Spirit Vein Cave he discovered was merely a tributary.

It may just about support his solo cultivation.

However, using it to support Pill Cultivation is absolutely impossible.

“No wonder Mi Shuhua didn’t give me this paper before; he probably thought I was overly ambitious and unrealistic!”

“It’s also no wonder he decided to give it to me now. He probably did it because I’m stuck at the Lower Grade while refining the Jade Marrow Pill and struggling to breakthrough. He wants me to use this paper, hoping that I can leverage external resources to conduct some research and make some advancements.” Overall, this Qingyuan Pill Nourishing Technique is quite dilemmatic for Luo Chen’s current situation.

The restrictions are too numerous.

111 just keep it for now. I might need it in the future.”

Luo Chen sighed, but he was still happy to keep it.

Any kind of knowledge that could benefit pill refinement is his opportunity to level up!

He has refined pills for so long now, the more he learns, the deeper he understands the expanse and depth of the Path of Pill Refinement.

Before, he was just dabbling around with little businesses in a small world. The true depth, he has merely glimpsed the tip of the iceberg.

Perhaps he’ll only truly get involved in the Path of Pill Refinement after advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

While Luo Chen was daydreaming, Mi Shuhua finished joining in the rewards celebration and came to his side.

The auction will start next month. Are you sure you want to participate?”

Luo Chen patted his Storage Bag, “I’ve got quite some money!”

The old man laughed, a bit dismissively.

Luo Chen blushed, “Even if I can’t afford to buy anything, simply looking around and gaining some knowledge would be good too!”

“Alright, count you in. You can come with me and broaden your horizons.”

Luo Chen didn’t stay in the Pill Hall after work today.

First, his meridians were damaged and not suitable for cultivation.

Secondly, staying here every day would inevitably arouse suspicion.

And indeed, the life in the Pill Hall is rather rigorous, either refining pills or cultivating every day.

For Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators who haven’t reached the Foundation Establishment yet, only a few people can withstand this kind of lifestyle.

Luo Chen didn’t mind the struggles, but following this routine daily would surely lead him to Demonic deviation.

Sometimes, it’s essential to take a necessary relaxation.

After returning to his courtyard, Luo Chen first cleaned it up using the Cleaning Technique, and then went out for a quick shopping trip.

He also went to the Yuan Family to meet up with Elder Yuan and Yuan Xiaoyue, to discuss the income of the snack stall from last month.

”620 Spirit Stones, not bad at all. It seems that the monthly income has stabilized.”

Luo Chen took the pile of Spirit Stones and did a quick calculation.

Then he gave thirty Spirit Stones to Yuan Xiaoyue, which was her salary for last month.

He handed out another hundred Spirit Stones, roughly the purchase price of Elder Yuan’s Pineapple Wine.

Yuan Xiaoyue happily accepted the Spirit Stones and said with her face raised: “Actually, during the previous month, we made over 900 Spirit Stones, and I think we could have sold more.”

“Oh?”

Luo Chen became interested; he hadn’t ever thought that such a small snack stand could have such a large market.

Should he consider expanding the business and creating even more prosperity? “But since this month, others have started to sell different kinds of snacks too.” Yuan Xiaoyue pouted, clearly unhappy: “Neighbor Li’s aunt released a kind of Tofu Pudding Rice, which is said to be a simplified recipe from the Zhong Ding Family. It’s filling and replenishes Spirit Power.”

“There’s also a stall selling various kinds of Demon Beast jerky right across from me. Although the taste is not as good as your Spicy Beef Jerky, their variety is more extensive.”

“And there’s also…”

Watching her chattering about her competitors, Luo Chen, who was initially somewhat surprised at these cultivators’ enterprising spirit, couldn’t help but laugh.

He ruffled the girl’s increasingly black and shiny hair.

“Xiao Yue, we cannot possibly make all the spirit stones; others need to earn spirit stones for cultivation and life, too. We only need to focus on ourselves.” This little girl, who was initially delicate and shy, has become more confident after several months of running the stall.

But she’s become more calculative.

Yuan Xiaoyue broke free from Luo Chen’s hand, her big round eyes wide open,

But some of them obviously copied your secret recipes!”

Like that person selling Demon Beast jerky across from us. He bought a half month’s supply of beef jerky from me before setting up his stall. He clearly copied your technique.”

“And that man selling Explosion Beans, it’s very similar to our Immortal Bean.” Luo Chen chuckled.

After a while, he shook his head and lightly said, “If a secret recipe gets copied, it’s not a secret recipe anymore.”

“Also… have they paid protection fees?”

“Huh?”

Yuan Xiaoyue was baffled.

Elder Yuan, who had been quietly sipping his drink, also looked curiously at

Luo Chen after putting down his gourd.

Luo Chen pointed at Yuan Xiaoyue’s forehead, “Silly, the wine you give to the

Sword Pavilion Cultivator every month is not for free.”

“Tomorrow, you go find that Sword Pavilion Cultivator, tell him that the square has been too dirty recently. It’s affecting the environment of the Dao Debate Platform that the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion has put in such efforts to build.”

“Also, I remember there are only scattered stalls in that area of White Stone Plaza, right?”

“You should suggest that Yu Ding Sword Pavilion installs a large stone slab to regulate the stalls. Each stall could be charged one or two Spirit Stones.” “Remember, reserve the best location with the most foot traffic in advance. We’ll pay for the Spirit Stones!”

Listening to all of this, Yuan Xiaoyue was completely baffled.

Elder Yuan, sitting next to her, was also puzzled.

Luo Chen didn’t explain more. The strategy of “contacting city management” would be useful for a while.

As for future competition?

Having the best location already ensures success.

If he finds some spare time to research some new snacks, won’t the product competitiveness rise again?

There are so many people in the Pill Hall, and the Pill Furnace is free from time to time.

Just let the domestic cultivators help him make a few snacks. It wouldn’t be a difficult task.

He didn’t believe that an individual stall could compete against him, a manufacturer with a complete setup.

“By the way, it’s my birthday next month. We’re having a dinner party at the courtyard. Are you coming?”

Seeing them hesitate, Luo Chen added another sentence.

“It’s not a big celebration, just a few friends gathering for a meal and a few drinks.”

Yuan Xiaoyue seemed interested, while her grandfather spoke up.

“I, the old man, will not go. Xiao Yue can go and play, meeting some seniors would be a good thing..”
