"What, you’re saying a late-stage Foundation Establishnt Great Cultivator has died in our Great River District?"
Early in the morning, Luo Chen, who had just stepped out, was taken aback by the discussion in the courtyard.
The couple Qin Liangchen, Gu Caiyi, and even Bai iling, Feng Xia were gathered together.
The topic of their heated discussion was the death of a late-stage Foundation Establishnt Cultivator.
Bai iling chirped, "The body was found the day before yesterday. A Golden Core Cultivator from Ailao Mountain used soul cards and tracking magic items to drag it out from the Lancang River near the Great River District."
"It is not suicide, it’s murder!"
Of course, which cultivator would think of committing suicide for no reason?
Luo Chen couldn’t help asking, "Since it was murder, why didn’t the enemy deal with the body? Dropping it in a river seems too crude, wouldn’t it be better to burn the traces with High Order True Fire?"
"The enemy probably wanted to, but couldn’t do it!"
Bai iling tilted her head and replied.
"Even after killing him, they couldn’t destroy the body?"
"The Foundation Establishnt cultivator had a defense type magic item, which, I heard, his wife specially got for him from his Golden Core elders."
Defense type magic item!
Luo Chen’s eyelids twitched.
Suddenly, he felt the atmosphere was a bit off.
Why were only Bai iling and Qin Liangchen speaking? Why wasn’t Gu Caiyi participating in the discussion?
Seeing Luo Chen looking at her, Gu Caiyi appeared to be in complex emotions.
"Fei Bowen did indeed have an unusual defense magic item, which has a particularly strange function, called Solid Enclosure. It’s said that when it’s opened, it transforms into a small immortal house that isolates all spirit power from the inside and outside. Unless attacked by a late Golden Core Stage attack thod, the Solid Enclosure can not be broken."
"Of course, once the Solid Enclosure is opened, the user can’t go out and can only wait for others to rescue."
Indeed, it deserved to be called an extraordinary magic item.
It defends against the enemy, but it also locks the user in.
Murong Qinglian was utterly amazed, "Caiyi, did you know that late-stage Foundation Establishnt Cultivator?"
Gu Caiyi silently nodded, pointing to a piece of silk clothing on her.
"This is an Ascendant Grade Defense Magic Tool that he gifted when he first stayed at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion in the Great River District."
An Ascendant Grade Defense Magic Tool, just given away like that?
The late-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator who died was so generous!
For a mont, Murong Qinglian, Bai iling, and the others looked at Gu Caiyi with a bit of bewildernt.
Gu Caiyi didn’t explain, she wanted to return the magic tool, but the other party firmly refused.
He claid that there was no rule of returning what he gifted. That would be an affront to him!
"Fei Bowen?"
Luo Chen repeated the na and inadvertently said, "Isn’t that the contractor from Ailao Mountain?"
Contractor?
Gu Caiyi already knew the aning of this term.
She gave Luo Chen a displeased look and heaved a sigh, "Yes, it was him. Otherwise, the Golden Core Ascendant Master from Ailao Mountain wouldn’t have co personally to look for him. Because of this, the Immortal Residence, Ailao Mountain’s Great River District shop, has been closed for the past few days."
Immortal Residence was closed?
Luo Chen finally understood. No wonder the Ailao Mountain cultivator who had built the Pill Room for him left in such a hurry that he didn’t even ask for the final paynt.
So, sothing big had happened in their sect!
"He ca to the Great River District to repair the Spirit Residence and help build the Dao Debate Platform. Who would kill him, and who could kill him?" Luo Chen was extrely curious and speculated about his identity, "Not to ntion his cultivation level as a late-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator, but just the fact that he is married into the family of a Golden Core Cultivator’s granddaughter, no one should dare to touch him, right?"
The others couldn’t figure it out either. After discussing for a while more, they had to disperse.
After all, they all had their own tasks to do.
However, before leaving, Murong Qinglian reminded everyone to be careful when going in and out.
The murderer who killed Fei Bowen might still be lurking in the Great River District, and could very likely be an outsider cultivator.
Everyone agreed to this, but they didn’t take it to heart.
The murderer has more significant issues to deal with, targeting late-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivators, and wouldn’t bother with small fry like them.
Using Luo Chen’s words, they had a sowhat "as long as I am a piece of shit, no one can step on " attitude.
This remark was followed by a round of cursing from several female neighbors.
...
The construction of the Pill Room was nearing completion. The influx of helpers was not decreasing, but on the contrary, it was increasing.
Luo Chen was no longer as leisurely as before, he had beco busy.
"Luo ’Er Duo, Luo Wudi’s nephew, at the Fourth Level Qi Refinent Stage."
"Yang Qi, the son of Long Panhu’s Yang Wei, at the First Level Qi Refinent Stage and only nine years old! Has he been sent to the Pill Hall already?"
"Mi Li, the granddaughter of that old man Mi Shuhua? At the Fourth Level Qi Refinent Stage, twenty-one years old. Looks like her talent is not that good, otherwise she would have been sent to the Great Sect long ago."
The faces of these youthful, hopeful, doubtful, or arrogant individuals floated in Luo Chen’s mind.
These were all the people that the various Hall Masters had stuffed into his Pill Hall.
Luo Chen couldn’t refuse because this was a condition he agreed to during the eting at the Bright Moon Hall.
He would do his best to train their descendants in Pill Refinent Technique.
Of course, he would definitely teach.
But whether he would do it wholeheartedly, that entirely depended on him.
As for how many of these people could graduate?
What a joke about the Immortal Cultivation World, Luo Chen is still consolidating his pill refining foundation!
With the hundred herbs guide in hand, Luo Chen glanced at the group of young people in the valley, and couldn’t help but sniff in disdain.
These people are unreliable, he needs to cultivate another batch of tool people.
Inside Crescent Valley, a group of young people gathered together, bored to tears, casually chatting about this and that.
In their conversation, there was no lack of curiosity about Luo Chen, the master of The Pill Hall.
"He isn’t even older than , yet he’s already the master of a hall?"
The speaker was Luo Wudi’s nephew, Luo ’Er Duo.
With a fierce aura all over him, it was clear that he had been through the mountains and seen the blood of demon beasts.
However, this kind of experience was of no use in front of others.
Whose elders aren’t also ones who fought their way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood?
Tang Quan scoffed, "Yeah, you’re older than him. But your realm isn’t as high as his. Aside from fighting, what else can you do better than him? When you mix around, you need to talk about skills!"
Tang Quan, a seed player recomnded by Zeng Wen.
He had no familial relationship with Zeng Wen, he was rely the descendant of a deceased brother of his.
Knowing that Zeng Wen and Luo Chen have a good relationship, he unconsciously leaned towards Luo Chen’s side.
Luo ’Er Duo’s face flushed red, "Right, you’re skilled. You must have learned a lot of woman-appeasing techniques from your Sick Tiger Uncle, right!"
Tang Quan abruptly stood up!
"Little runt, say that again?"
"Afraid of you!"
Seeing the two about to quarrel, the others felt helpless.
Tang Quan really wasn’t afraid of Luo ’Er Duo. Luo’s dad died early, and his uncle Zeng Wen didn’t really care about him in the past too. As a result, he would occasionally join the people of the Battle Hall to hunt demon beasts in the mountains.
In terms of cultivation state, the two were evenly matched.
"Everyone, can we stop quarreling, please?"
Hearing this soft-spoken plea, Tang and Luo had no choice but to exchange a few harsh words without further arguing.
Because the speaker was the granddaughter of the gang leader Mi Shuhua and her mother Mi Junping was the rits Hall Master.
Mi Li, with a Triple Spirit Root Talent, at Fourth Level Qi Refinent Stage.
On a face as beautiful as a blooming flower, there was always a sickly pallor.
She mustered a smile, "We all co to the Pill Hall because we want to learn pill refining technique from the master, why must we make an embarrassing scene."
So agreed, so silent.
As for the Pill Hall, they also learned sothing about it from their respective elders.
So rated it highly, and so scoffed at it.
Therefore, these youngsters who ca to the Pill Hall are also sowhat different in nature.
So of them were sent here to learn pill refining technique, while others were simply sent off to get rid of the peskiness.
Mi Li sighed, feeling trepidation in her heart.
In the Mi family, she wasn’t that important.
Her inborn deficient physique wasted a lot of her parents’ resources at birth, but she got nothing in return.
Now the Mi family under the leadership of Uncle Mi Shuhua was thriving more than ever, with talents erging in large numbers. There was even a junior of hers who had a chance to apprentice in a Sect.
Her status plumted.
Now that her mother insisted on sending her to the Pill Hall, she wasn’t sure what she was thinking.
Was it to get rid of her, or did she hope that she could really learn sothing?
Just as she was feeling anxious, her young companion next to her suddenly shouted.
She raised her head, only to see a yellow Glint tearing across the sky, leisurely sneaking into the depths of the Crescent Valley.
"It’s grandfather!" thought Mi Li.
...
"Xiao Luo, how is the research on the Jade Marrow Pill going?"
Just as he landed, Mi Shuhua went straight to the point.
Luo Chen rolled his eyes, "You really believe in , I just started a few days ago! If it was that easy to refine, wouldn’t your Mi family have made a fortune selling it?"
Mi Shuhua gave a sheepish smile, he also knew that he was sowhat impatient.
But after a conversation with Wang Haichao last night, apart from asking Gao Tingyuan not to bother Luo Chen in the future.
There’s one other thing that made him anxious.
That is, if the Pill Hall of the Broken Mountain Gang is truly able to produce good elixirs, the Great Lake Gang will get involved as well.
Then, with the help of the channels of the Great Lake Gang, their elixir could be sold in other markets as well.
After a sigh, Mi Shuhua suppressed his sense of urgency.
"The inauguration day of the hall is set three days later, when we will invite so of our internal cultivators to observe the ceremony."
"I’m preparing a ceremony for you, do you have any ideas?"
Luo Chen blinked his eyes. Ceremony? Show?
Of course, the bigger the better!
"Sure, let’s do the inauguration and the furnace-lighting ceremony together. I’ll also show you a little sothing, what a Pill Refinent Grandmaster is like!"
