Thirty miles away from Tianlan Immortal City, there is a steep and wide ridge that runs through seven peaks of different sizes.

This place is known as the Rolling Dragon's Back.

It has a first-order spiritual vein, and on the ridge, there are mountain fires erupting from time to time, thus forming a unique natural environment.

All kinds of resources are scattered all over the seven peaks, as well as the ridge that seems to be formed by the tumbling of the earth dragon.

Such a spiritual land is naturally a cultivation holy place that low-level immortal cultivators dream of.

Not to mention climbing the ridge, just the mountains below the mountain also have a spiritual energy diffusion that is more or less comparable to the concentration of a first-order spiritual vein.

It's just that this place has long been the owner's thing.

Ordinary casual cultivation, I don't dare to come forward and disturb at all.

Rolling Dragon Zheng Family!

Within the scope of Tianlan Immortal City, there is a well-known foundation building immortal family.

With a deep background, it is rumored that the ancestor of the founding family is a fake Dan realm existence from the Yan Alliance.

Although that ancestor has long been seated.

But in the end, it left a good legacy for the family.

This background is not just about spiritual stone magic weapons.

It also includes networking, spiritual understanding, and a skill that the entire family can rely on for a living.

Alchemy!

The Zheng family is one of the few immortal cultivators who make a living from alchemy.

It is rich in a first-order pill called Huozhi Pill, which contains a large amount of spiritual energy, and although the medicine is irritable, it is easy to injure the meridians in practice.

But it is an orthodox cultivation pill, and the price is much cheaper than the first-order pill of the Elixir Pavilion and Qingdan Valley.

Therefore, it is also quite popular among casual meditations.

Hundreds of years down.

The Zheng family relied on Huozhi Pill to make a living, and their lives were beautiful.

It not only established the status of the Lord of the Seven Peaks of the Rolling Dragon's Back.

Today, there are three foundation building cultivators in the clan at the same time.

Elder Taishang built the foundation of six layers, and he was only one step away from building the late stage of the foundation.

Zheng Kejian, the head of the family, also existed in the middle of foundation building.

Among the younger generation, there are also people who were promoted to the foundation building period 20 years ago.

In this way, the three generations of the old, the middle and the young, one door and three foundations, it is really not beautiful!

However.

Outsiders only see their scenery, but where can they see their current predicament.

Huozhimaru is indeed popular.

However, this pill is expensive and difficult to refine.

The chief alchemist in the clan, who has been refining for many years, can only stably refine the medium-grade Fire Zhi Pill.

In this case, the benefits are far less great than the scattered cultivation thinks.

Now, the income of the Fire Zhi Pill can only barely support the three major foundation building true cultivators.

As for the clansmen below Fuze, it is very difficult to do it.

In order to conserve resources.

Zheng Kejian, the head of the family who knew that there was no hope for the elder, even gave up the second-order cave mansion in Tianlan Peak to his son.

However.

The house leak happened to rain overnight!

When he was still thinking about how to open up sources of income and reduce expenditure, and open up another source of wealth for the family.

The business of the basic fire mushroom pill suddenly began to decline.

"When did it start?"

Zheng Kejian suppressed the anger in his heart.

He hadn't been cultivating as hard as he had been lately, so he had plenty of time.

Therefore, I deliberately counted the account books of the most recent year.

It's okay not to be clear!

As soon as I counted it, I noticed that something was wrong.

In the past, after the consumption of cultivation resources to support the two major foundation building true cultivation, there were often tens of thousands of spirit stones left to cultivate the descendants of the family.

In recent years, however, this surplus has become less and less.

20,000, 10,000, 5,000......

In the last three months, even the cultivation resources of the Ancestor and his son have been affected.

Not to mention, the resources of the younger generations of the family are directly cut off.

Such a big thing, no one actually informed him!

The Zheng family monk couldn't help but tremble when he looked at his expression that was about to erupt, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

"I don't know, it seems to be...... The last two months? No, it seems like a year ago? It's not right either......"

"Calm down, trembling what!"

Zheng Kejian glared at him, and the coercion of his spiritual sense was like a basin of cold water poured on the other party.

The other party shuddered, and it was even more difficult to speak.

Scared!

Zheng Kejian took a deep breath and swept his gaze over everyone in the hall.

O these people!

With the blessing of the family, life is so smooth.

Showing off his martial arts on the outside, but not making progress on the inside, even the family's most important pill business began to be unconcerned.

If he hadn't been idle looking at the account books, he wouldn't have found such a big financial loophole.

"Get out of here and check it out for me!"

"Find out what time, who, and what happened to cause the whereabouts of my Zheng family's pill business."

"Within three days, no, one day!"

"I'll give you a day to hand over all the information to me."

With a wave of his hand, the people below hurriedly walked out of the hall and got busy.

Seeing this group of people fleeing in the wilderness, Zheng Kejian was angry and slapped the expensive wooden table directly.

"Relying on these wine bags and rice bags alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to find anything."

"I'll have to go there myself!"

……

After changing his appearance, restraining his breath, and dressing up in disguise.

Zheng Kejian stepped into Tianlan Immortal City

This is the first time he has stepped into this huge immortal city since he gave up the second-order cave mansion to his son, who had just entered the foundation building period.

I have to say that after entering the city, he was extremely envious when he looked at those fellow foundation builders who went in and out of the major stores and wantonly purchased cultivation resources.

That's not the purpose today, though!

Instead, it is necessary to find out the reason for the decline in Zheng Jiadan's medicine business.

In fact, this reason is also easier to guess, it is nothing more than the increase in the price of raw materials, which leads to an increase in the cost of pills and a decrease in profits.

Or maybe there's a competitor on the horizon.

As for the question of their own elixir?

He never thought about it.

Those weed-like loose cultivators, it is already an excellent thing to have cheap pills to take.

How dare you pick and choose.

He planned to find a familiar fellow Zhuji first, and ask about the recent situation of Tianlan Immortal City.

It's just that the footsteps haven't been taken yet.

At a crossroads, he was stopped by a Qi Refining Period monk.

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to know about the Chalcedony Pill?"

At this moment, the realm that Zheng Kejian revealed to the outside was the middle stage of qi refining.

Very crude disguise.

Monk Zhuji, you can see through it at a glance.

But in the eyes of ordinary Qi Refining Stage cultivators, they would only regard him as a lowly cultivator.

He was curious: "What kind of elixir is that?" ”

The monk smiled and shoved a piece of paper into his hand.

"What is this?"

As far as the eye can see, the paper is about one palm wide and two palms long.

It's a small page, but it's covered with all kinds of words.

[Chalcedony Pill: Qi refining cultivators practice at home, a must-have! ] 】

[The top grade is only sold for eighty-five, and the store is a big discount! ] 】

[Zhong Miao Pill: Reinvigorate the male style, do not worry about the indefinite avenue, so that you can enjoy bliss while cultivating hard! ] 】

【Pei Yuan Spiritual Liquid ......】

【Bigu San......】

A dazzling array of goods is written all over this entire page of blank paper.

On the back of the white paper, a road map is drawn.

Starting from entering the city, pass through Nanyang Street and Spirit Animal Street...... Moving all the way, they almost crossed a quarter of the distance of Tianlan Immortal City, and finally stopped at the remote Yuelu Street.

The meticulousness of the route is simply outrageous!

There are even some special shops along the way.

It can be said that even if you don't care about the positive pills, just the latter roadmap is very valuable for casual cultivation.

Especially those who have just come to Tianlan Immortal City.

Regardless of whether it is in the gas refining period or the foundation building period, they will not refuse such a road map.

With this map, at least I have an idea of some areas of Tianlan Immortal City, and I don't even have to be slaughtered by local guides.

Zheng Kejian held the paper, "What is this?" ”

"The flyer of the Danxia Palace!" The monk who handed out the leaflets smiled.

Zheng Kejian held back the impatience in his heart and asked seriously: "I mean, these pills above are really sold so cheaply?" It can't be some inferior elixir! Also, what kind of power is this Danxia Palace's industry? ”

"Danxia Hall is naturally my Luo Tianhui industry!"

Monk Luo Tianhui said proudly: "As for the price of the pill above, Daoist friends can enter the store and take a look, and it will definitely make you return with a full load!" ”

"Oh, by the way, our Danxia Hall is a little far from here. On the road map behind this leaflet, there is a path marked to get to ...... the fastest"

I couldn't ask anything specific from him.

Zheng Kejian didn't ask any more.

There happened to be a beast cart next to him, and he made a move and went straight to the car.

Monk Luo Tianhui was still talking, but when he saw him get into the car, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Then he muttered:

"It's still a rich casual cultivator, and when you enter the city, you will take a beast cart."

Inside the black python car.

Enduring the fishy smell of the corpses of demon beasts, Zheng Kejian looked at the "flyer" seriously.

An elixir worth eighty spirit stones?

It's still top-grade!

His intuition told him that this chalcedony pill might be the culprit that squeezed his family's Fire Zhi Pill!

"Danxia Palace, Luo Tianhui ......"

Saying these two names, Zheng Kejian's eyes narrowed slightly.

……

Yuelu Street!

In Tianlan Immortal City, there is a small street that is inconspicuous.

It is mainly composed of a rune skin shop, a rune ink shop, a medicinal herb shop, and an inn.

Because of these shops related to the production of talismans, this street is always full of some strange smells.

Even with it, the business of that inn is not very good.

Only some poor people who are practicing and trying to live cheaply will find a temporary residence here.

A year ago, this street attracted a new neighbor.

As soon as I arrived, I rented a vacant three-story building!

It is located in the center of Yuelu Street, which is extremely eye-catching and conspicuous.

Basically, anyone who enters this street can pay attention to it at the first time.

For this new neighbor, everyone didn't take it seriously at first.

Later, I found out that there were many female cultivators inside!

They are all young and beautiful, and they speak super well, and their words make people feel like a spring breeze, just like returning home.

Not only that, but they also take some melons, fruits, and snacks from the store from time to time and give them to the neighbors next to them.

After coming and going, the relationship between everyone will get better.

It didn't take long for the store to open.

Danxia Temple!

It is mainly engaged in the pill business, and there are many categories.

Even if some of them, such as Bigu San and Peiyuan Spiritual Liquid, are just common goods on the market, they can't be cheap!

Those neighbors had nothing to do, they ate people with soft mouths and short mouths, and later helped Danxia Hall to publicize it.

There are customers who can't find their way outside, and when they meet them, they often give them pointers.

Gradually.

Danxia Palace's business is gradually getting better.

There are many reasons to get better.

For example, the maids here are all eloquent and well-spoken.

For example, the things here, whether they are pills or magic weapons, are all of high quality and low price.

Even if you are shy in your pocket, you can afford to spend it.

There are other reasons, and everyone has seen them one by one.

Now.

The third floor of the Danxia Hall is located.

Luo Chen, who was wearing a white robe, was flipping through the account books.

Opposite him were Gu Caiyi and Xu Xiaoliu, who were standing hand in hand.

Maybe it's because Luo Chen's cultivation is getting more profound, or maybe it's because he is more majestic.

The two of them were respectful, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Glancing at the two of them out of the corner of his eye, Luo Chen continued to look down at the account books.

One year!

The previous expenditure costs have all been earned, and there is still a surplus.

A year ago, he took the initiative and rented the three-story building from the Binglan Palace.

The rent paid is extremely cheap!

First, it is because Yuelu Street is too remote, and it is mainly based on the supply of raw materials, and there is no commercial atmosphere.

Second, it is also related to his cooperation with Taihun and Taihu.

The annual rent of this shop only requires 5,000 lower grade spirit stones.

This is definitely cheap in Tianlan Immortal City.

The same area, a little bit of morality, can be counted in tens of thousands.

With this store, it is a good thing for Luo Tianhui's business!

You can play a signboard.

In particular, it can also find a safe and regular sales point for the goods produced by Luo Tianhui.

Although the valley is good, it is too remote after all.

After Wang Yuange killed Cao Wanchun, he really lost a lot of popularity.

If you want to cultivate popularity and business atmosphere, it is not an overnight achievement.

Therefore, Luo Chen chose a two-pronged approach.

Inside and outside the city, develop at the same time.

And this year, in addition to his daily practice, he put down all his spell practice and devoted almost all of his time to alchemy and cultivating talents.

In a year, he continued to refine the Chalcedony Pill for seven months and the Yulu Pill for four months.

There are also interspersed in the middle, refining a large number of Tongyou Pills.

Such a huge alchemy project, in addition to his own profound spiritual heritage, coupled with his superb alchemy attainments, is also indispensable for the cooperation of Dantang monks.

The results are extremely gratifying.

Forty thousand chalcedony pills have been refined!

And that's not all.

Under his daily supervision and guidance, Qu Lingjun was finally able to stably refine the medium-grade chalcedony pill.

Although the rate of Cheng Dan is not high, the number of Cheng Dan per furnace is not as stable as that of Luo Chen.

But at last it can produce steadily.

Luo Chen has cultivated more than one talent.

Rice!

It is also the object of his training.

This talent, who was first buried by Mi Shuhua, actually has a certain talent for alchemy.

It's just that Mi Shuhua pulled out the seedlings to help her, and at the beginning, he asked her to refine the chalcedony pill, which was quite difficult, but naturally she couldn't see results.

Luo Chen's cultivation of rice grains......

In other words, it should not be called culture, but stocking.

At first, it was just for her to get started.

Later, she handed over the irrelevant Bigu to her for refining.

Bigusan is just an ordinary pill that does not enter the grade, and the rice grains were quickly used.

Over the years, a strong alchemy foundation has long been accumulated.

During this year, Luo Chen finally let her start refining first-order pills.

It's just that it's not chalcedony pills.

It's all the magic pills!

For this self-made elixir that allowed him to earn his first pot of gold, Luo Chen's familiarity with refining is still above the chalcedony pill.

Regardless of the number of refining.

It's the kind of step-by-step process, which he has experienced too deeply.

From the initial iron pot alchemy, to the firewood furnace in the back, and then to the earth fire alchemy in the back.

It can be said that the refining of Zhongmiao Pill, in Luo Chen's eyes, has no secrets at all.

Mi Li also knows a lot about Zhong Miaomaru.

At the beginning, Tangquan often failed, and the other party didn't dare to disturb Luo Chen, but he discussed it with Mi Li many times in private.

It can be said that although the rice grains have not been used, they are familiar with all kinds of problems in the refining process of Zhongmiao Pill.

After Luo Chen let her get started.

With Luo Chen's guidance, solve the problem.

Coupled with the alchemy foundation she had accumulated for many years.

It didn't take a few months, and it was a matter of course to refine the next grade Zhongmiao Pill.

In this way, the types of pills that Luo Tianhui could sell to the outside world gradually became richer.

It is mainly based on the high-grade chalcedony pill refined by Luo Chen, supplemented by the medium-grade of Qu Lingjun.

It is garnished with the various pills made of rice grains.

Peiyuan Spiritual Liquid is the easiest, you only need to match the medicinal materials, and take it back to the scattered cultivation to boil it yourself, and what you earn is a processing fee.

Bigusan is not difficult, and Dahefang was not the only one who refined and sold it by Luo Chen.

In the Dan Hall, he found a few people to refine, and finally cultivated a monk who specialized in refining Bigusan.

It can be said that in addition to the Tongyou Pill, the Burning Blood Pill, and the Yulu Pill.

Luo Chen refined almost all the pills he knew as much as he could.

Thus put it on the shelves of Danxia Palace!

Not only that, but in the Danxia Palace, the magic weapons of the instrument hall are also sold.

Those magic weapons are not refined in the instrument hall, but the trophies accumulated by Luo Tianhui after many battles.

The best is left by Luo Tianhui to use it himself.

The rest, sewing and repairing, repairing one or two, can also be put on the shelf.

In addition, Feng Xia and Yuan Xiaoyue also picked up their old jobs.

Beans, beef jerky, milk tea, popcorn...... Wait a minute

Even, on the basis of the original, snacks such as fried silkworm cloud beans and ten spice cardamom have been developed.

It can also be regarded as the cultivation process of Lingtian, those crops with no economic value are used for waste.

Ultimately!

It has formed the current Danxia Palace, which seems to be nondescript, but it is a store with a wide variety of categories.

But that's it.

When calculating costs and profits, it is a very cumbersome matter.

In the early days, mistakes often followed.

So much so that Luo Chen had to come over from time to time to check the accounts.

In the back, Gu Caiyi, the owner of the Golden Hall and the manager of the Danxia Palace, gradually sorted out all kinds of accounts after getting acquainted with it.

Luo Chen also developed a habit before.

That's why I come over from time to time to take a look.

Now, he is looking at the general ledger for a year.

"The Danxia Hall in the city has a gross profit of about 300,000 spirit stones a year. Among them, the elixir I refined, and the magic weapon of the Instrument Hall occupy the lion's share. ”

"Over there in Biyougu, I've seen it before, and the gross profit is around 100,000. The profit composition is mainly based on me and Qitang. ”

"The alchemy level of Qu Lingjun and Mi Li has to continue to improve. Now the annual income only adds up to about 10,000 yuan. ”

If only for individual casual practice.

Two Qi refining period cultivators can earn more than 10,000 yuan a year, which is naturally not expensive.

But for today's Luo Tianhui, it's just the icing on the cake.

Compared with Luo Chen at the beginning, it is far inferior.

But Luo Chen didn't care.

He was very patient with the two.

If you continue to cultivate, you can definitely expect it.

"The gross profit is 400,000 a year, which is already more than the vast majority of foundation-building forces."

"It's just because I'm an alchemist that I have this kind of income!"

Luo Chen once again affirmed the importance of his "honorable alchemist".

Then, he calculated the number of spirit stones he could use.
