“You have a substantial salary, there is no need to live in a lower-grade Immortal Mansion.”
“In terms of cultivation resources, I provide you with Jade Dew Pills, and regarding magic tools and magic items, you don’t need to worry.”
“In my opinion, when you have spare time, you should find Shi Boying, rent a medium-grade Immortal Mansion!”
In Yiseventeen Immortal Mansion.
Luo Chen and Sima Huiniang sat opposite each other, enjoying breakfast filled with Spirit Qi.
Listening to Luo Chen’s suggestion, Sima Huiniang smiled slightly.
“I will consider it!”
“Don’t consider it, do it as soon as possible!” Seeing her lack of enthusiasm for cultivation, Luo Chen was inexplicably annoyed, “Fix the Immortal Mansion within these two days. There is an empty Mansion hundred feet below mine, you can rent that.”
“Alright, alright, I shall heed your words.”

Sima Huiniang reluctantly agreed.
“I finished eating, I’m heading to Danxia peak now. There’s a lot to do today, can’t afford any delays.”
Luo Chen quickly finished his food and personally accompanied her to the exit.
Watching her figure gradually dwindling into the distance, Luo Chen stood under the Warm Sun Tree, licking his lips.
He felt like a housemaker sending the husband to work.
Although the gender roles seemed reversed.
Luo Chen self-deprecatingly smiled, then sat down under the Warm Sun Tree.
He took out a book about alchemy, reading it carefully.
This book, unlike the previous ones, was obtained by Luo Chen from Dan Yuanzi’s storage bag.
Not long ago, he unlocked Dan Yuanzi’s storage bag.
His harvest was bountiful!
Just the Spirit Stones alone amounted to a staggering one hundred and fifty thousand!
Other resources related to the Dao of Alchemy and materials were also invaluable.
Among them, there were several first-order Pill Formulas, and one second-order Pill Formula called “Increase Blood Pill.”
It was by proficiently refining this very pill that he became a second-order Pill Refiner.
As for this Pill Formula, Luo Chen studied it hastily once.
This was a pill that could increase a cultivator’s blood and Qi.
Unfortunately, it didn’t increase Spirit Qi.
Rather, like the Gold-Quality Jade Liquid, it categorizes more as a Body Refinement pill.
If he managed to refine it, it would be greatly beneficial for a Body Refiner!
However, the main ingredient impressed Luo Chen.
Cultivator’s Essence Blood, Demon Beast’s blood, and the sap from a certain Spirit Wood.
These three main ingredients, in a miraculous coincidence, were identical to the main ingredients of the Blood Evil Qi Pill.
In other words, the Increase Blood Pill and Blood Evil Qi Pill can be classified under the same category within the Path of Demon Pills.
“No wonder Dan Yuanzi rarely refined this after initially making the Increase Blood Pill.”
“Increasing Blood Qi is not that beneficial for cultivators. Furthermore, obtaining the main ingredient is full of risks.”
“Speaking of it, the Cultivator’s Essence Blood that Wang Yuan gave me is quite plentiful. After refining the Blood Evil Qi Pill, if there is any leftover, I can use it to test this Pill Formula.”
Luo Chen smiled slightly and flipped a page.
Seeing the intriguing content within, his eyes lit up.
“So the Nurturing Origin Hand has such a marvelous use...”
Unconsciously, Luo Chen became immersed in reading.
Until, the clear sound of footsteps reached his ears.
Only then did he reluctantly pull himself away from the fascinating content in the alchemy book.
Lifting his head, he looked at the newcomer.
Luo Chen revealed a brilliant smile.
“Friend Tao, you are finally back!”
The person who arrived was Tao Yisheng from Qingdan Valley!
...
Under the Warm Sun Tree.
Tao Yisheng sat down and took a sip of the Spirit Tea poured by Luo Chen, letting out a long sigh of relief.
“Finally finished the ten-year guarding mission of Yuanzhao Kingdom. Now I can focus solely on cultivation for the time being.”
Luo Chen looked at him and asked with a smile, “Do you sect disciples have many missions?”
Tao Yisheng nodded, as if complaining. He dumped all the information about the sect missions onto Luo Chen.
Qi Refinement Stage disciples, if they can’t advance to Foundation Establishment, will be demoted to the External Sect, where there were countless daily chores.
Even if they do reach the Foundation Establishment, they couldn’t entirely let their guard down.
A small task every three years, a big task every ten years.
The tasks were both internal and external.
Most of the internal tasks involved cultivating medicinal herbs, feeding powerful Spirit Beasts, assisting the sect’s elders in Pill Refinement, and so on.
The external ones were even more troublesome.
Qingdan Valley, as a Golden Core Great Sect, had many external interests.
Mines, Spirit Medicine gardens, shops, guard fights...
There was no need to beat around the bush anymore.
Tao Yisheng chuckled, “For true disciples like us, we are supplied with one bottle of Ascendant Grade Rising Dragon Pill each year, but only one.”
“Only late-stage Great Cultivators are assured to receive regular supplies of Rising Dragon Pills, enough to meet their needs.”
Upon hearing this.
Luo Chen’s mood dropped like a heavy stone, falling straight down.
He befriended Tao Yisheng primarily to obtain a large number of high-grade pills from the Tao siblings.
But Tao Yisheng’s words seem to imply that even Tao Wen, a late-stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, had a very limited amount of high-grade pills.
In such a situation.
How could there be any surplus for him?
If it were him, of course, he would ensure his needs were met before considering others!
Seeing Luo Chen’s gloomy look, Tao Yisheng didn’t think much of it.
He casually said, “However, there is another way to obtain a large amount of high-grade pills.”
“What do you mean?”
Luo Chen’s eyes lit up instantly!
But Tao Yisheng avoided the topic and brought up another one instead.
“Having met friend Daoist a few times, I found your comprehension of pill refinement to be very profound.”
“If you happen to have some time, I would like to ask your advice.”
“Would you be willing to give it?”
Luo Chen stared straight at him.
Was advising on pill refinement the condition for obtaining high-grade pills?
He pursed his lips, revealing a bright smile.
“I wouldn’t dare. Friend Tao, as a high-ranking disciple of the Pill Refinement Great Sect, must have deep insights.”
“The two of us are merely discussing and learning from each other!”
Tao Yisheng clapped his hands and sighed, “That’s wonderful!”
...
Late at night.
Luo Chen ended the discussion and returned to his Immortal Mansion.
The originally cheerful expression on his face instantly darkened.
Not because he was dissatisfied with the Tao siblings.
But because the other party was holding back on the conditions they need, without telling him directly.
This made Luo Chen somewhat uncomfortable.
For matters related to cultivation, he preferred to be straightforward, speaking openly and promptly.
Otherwise, the time delayed would be quite precious to him.
He can’t afford to waste time!
“Master, your meal is ready...”
Bai Meiling’s words trailed off.
Seeing Luo Chen’s gloomy face, she knew his mood wasn’t so good.
Thus, she stood cautiously at the door, not daring to get too close.
Seeing that he had frightened her, Luo Chen managed a smile.
“Just put it out, I’ll go wash my hands and come eat.”
Did a cultivator need to wash their hands?
Bai Meiling tilted her little head, a look of puzzlement on her face.
At the edge of the Spirit Spring in his mansion, Luo Chen stooped down to wash his face.
The cool water on his face seemed to calm his mood as well.
“Recently, with a successful career and a beautiful woman at my side, I seem to have become somewhat complacent.”
“Obtaining high-grade pills is no easy task.”
“I shouldn’t have been so rushed!”
Once he calmed down, Luo Chen returned to the dining table.
Thinking of the daytime conversation, he shook his head vigorously.
Some parts of the conversation were handled too rigidly.
Even his tone and demeanor didn’t seem quite right.
This was not right!
“The road to cultivation is long.”
“I should not have been so impatient.”
“Since the other party is engaging in this push and pull with me, rather than refusing me outright, they must have other desires!”
“No rush, no rush.”
“Let’s play this game a little longer, and I’m sure I can find their weakness.”
Luo Chen took a deep breath, completely dispelling his agitated mood.
The Ice Divine Jade hanging around his neck continued to emit occasional bursts of chilliness, gradually making him more composed.
As he ate the delicious food, he thought about Tao Yisheng’s words.
“I want to see what kind of game you’re playing!”
