Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 532: Chapter 227: Inventorying the Spoils of War, Reaping a Bountiful Harvest_1

“Greetings, Senior Li!”

“Oh, it’s Hui Niang. Are you here to see Luo Chen?”

“Yes. The president asked me to come over today.”

As they were renting the Cave Mansions together, the three Foundation Establishers in The Great River District were living quite close, almost within the same stretch of mountain wall.

Just as Li Yixian was about to step out, he bumped into Sima Huiniang on her way.

After having a brief conversation, Sima Huiniang hurriedly entered Luo Chen’s Cave Mansion.

Li Yixian watched her capable figure disappearing in the distance.

A sense of deep admiration welled up inside him.

It would be great if his Li Family had someone as efficient and organized as her.

Then he wouldn’t have to run around attending to trivial matters of the Li Family even before his own Cave Mansion had had a chance to warm up.

Li Ao was too young, and his cultivation level wasn’t high enough to shoulder responsibilities yet.

Luo Chen, on the other hand, had it easy, with Sima Huiniang around to handle most things so that he didn’t need to do everything personally.

“Maybe I should consider asking Little Ao to move to the Mansion for early Foundation Building.”

“In that case, I can leave trivial matters behind to focus on cultivation, right?”

Thinking of the abundance of talent in Luo Tian Creed, Li Yixian felt even more envious.

Min Longyu, an expert in the Path of Array formation, had joined in as well.

The strength of Luo Tian Creed had undoubtedly undergone a significant increase once more.

“Little Ao is not the only one. The strength of few other clan members should be reinforced too.”

“We should learn from Luo Tian Creed!”

…

While Li Yixian admired Luo Chen, in the Cave Mansion, Sima Huiniang was pulling out the accounts and meticulously introducing Luo Chen to the financial status of the Luo Tian Creed.

“As the battle in the Gaoling Plains was a sudden encounter and breakout, many cultivators participating in the battle did not have time to collect their share of spoils.”

“Thus, the majority of the spoils were eventually collected up and handed over.”

“The specific rewards and punishments standard hasn’t been established. However, Hall Master Murong has already recorded the corresponding Merits.”

“After we sort it out, you can decide whether to execute it.”

Luo Chen nodded.

Taking the accounts from Sima Huiniang, he started to go through them seriously.

This sudden battle in Gaoling Plains was different from the fights with Fu Family and at Xiao Huan Mountain.

In this battle, the spoils were collected later on the battlefield.

While there might be people secretly stashing some, more than 90% of it was up to him to handle as he liked.

The first page of accounts recorded the number of Storage Bags.

There were a total of 75!

“That many?” Luo Chen asked curiously.

Sima Huiniang shook her head, “Actually, there are fewer. Many disciples of the Great Lake Gang took a lot when they fled, and some were severely damaged during the battle and could not be used. After the final tally, only 75 were left.”

Still, seventy-five wasn’t a small number!

If he calculated strictly based on the market price of ten thousand Spirit Stones, it would be a fortune.

However, Sima Huiniang broke some not-so-good news to him.

“The price of Storage Bags in Tian Lan Immortal City is very cheap!”

“Oh?” Luo Chen raised his eyebrows.

Sima Huiniang explained, “Yesterday when I took our people out for a stroll, Xiao Liu introduced me to a Foundation Builder senior at Wanbao Pavilion. He said that if we buy more than a hundred Storage Bags at once, we can enjoy the Sect’s price of three thousand per piece.”

Hiss!

Even though Luo Chen knew that the price of Storage Bags was inflated, he didn’t expect it could be this cheap.

His eyes flickered, and Luo Chen realized something.

It seemed that ever since the two Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects started the war, Wanbao Pavilion…no, Tian Fan City!

Behind Wanbao Pavilion was another Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect Tian Fan City outside of the Yu Ding Realm.

In this war between the two Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects in the Yu Ding Realm, Tian Fan City seemed to be unusually active!

Previously, during the Dahefang period, a large number of Magic Tools manufactured by Tian Fan City had flowed out of Zhenlong Black Market.

Tools like Sound Transmission Paper Cranes were even mass-produced.

Nowadays, it seemed like even Storage Bags were being sold in bulk.

Not just to the Seven Sects of Yu Ding, but also to smaller forces like Luo Tian Creed.

“Of course, war spoils are always the most profitable. An opportunity like this only comes once in a hundred years.”

“Tian Fan City is not stupid… huh?”

Vaguely, Luo Chen realized a possibility.

Could it be that this war instigated by Luo Yun Sect was actually backed by Tian Fan City?

“On the Spirit Stones, we have a whopping total of 130,000!”

“Most of them are Lower Grade Spirit Stones, but after tallying, we also have 300 Medium Grade Spirit Stones. My suggestion is…”

Sima Huiniang’s report echoed in his ears.

Luo Chen was jolted awake from his horrific speculation.

What does the power struggle between the Ascendant Sects have to do with him?

With a cultivation base at the second layer of the Foundation Building, he couldn’t even be part of it.

The priority was to manage his own affairs properly!

“130,000!”

Luo Chen pursed his lips, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

This was undoubtedly a fortune, even exceeding his current worth of 50,000.

Well, only 50,000 was left. He had paid three years’ rent for the Cave Mansion yesterday.

No need to say, the loot from the war was freaking lucrative!

This was without counting the possible large amount of Spirit Stones contained in the Storage Bags of Wang Haichao, Tu Shan, and Huo Hu.

If he included them, the figure would probably soar.

If a crazier cultivator was in his place, they’d probably be frenzied with the idea of fighting a few more such battles.

However, Luo Chen quickly suppressed such thoughts.

In an encounter, Luo Tian Creed lost more than half of its members.

Zeng Wen, an old friend of his, had died protecting his wife and child.

Luo Chen was not willing to start a war easily.
