āSo, you admit youāre overreaching!ā
āHeh, such a young chap with such a big appetite.ā
āToo much!ā
The speakers were, in order, Ke Yuelin, Sikong Shoujia, and Mi Junping, who hadnāt uttered a word yet.
Luo Chen kept these names in mind.
He shook his head, āNot too much. Really, itās not. The profits from elixirs are unimaginable. For my Allure Pill, the production cost is merely five Spirit Stones per furnace, but it sells for several dozen stones. Iām asking for half, itās indeed not much.ā
āAnd you say itās not much!ā Ke Yuelin sneered: āYou know the profit is high, but you think youāre worthy of half?ā
He said it naturally, and Mi Shuhua, Mi Junping, and the others all nodded in agreement.
However, Ke Yuelin didnāt see how sullen his sworn brother Qin Liangchenās face had become.
Luo Chen seemed unaffected by his sneer, continuing to complain, āWhat can I do then, make the elixir yourself? Hall Master Ke, youāre so impressive, youāve raised pigs so wellāsurely your skill with handling medicinal ingredients and manipulating flames is pure too!ā
Ke Yuelin was stunned.
If he had that technical skill, with his cultivation at the Ninth Level of Qi Refinement, why would he need to be here raising pigs and cattle?
Well, the Beast Hall is responsible for such matters.
The Broken Mountain Gang not only hunted demon beasts but also domesticated some easily tamed lower order wild beasts.
They released these beasts into the Ancient Plains Mountain Range, cultivated them with Spirit Qi, and over time, there would be a steady output of low-order demon beasts.
To say that he, the Beast Hall Master, was a pig and cattle raiser, was not an insult.
āXiao Luo, be nice, donāt tease your big brother Ke.ā
Murong Qinglian said cheerfully, though her gaze fell coldly on Ke Yuelin.
When did their little brother unexpectedly lean towards Mi Shuhua?
āAlright, Iāll listen to my sister-in-law!ā
Luo Chen didnāt act pitiful, instead spoke directly: āPill refinement is a hard job, I wonāt lie to you, you can come and see for yourself, you can even get hands-on experienceāIāll guide with all his might.ā
āHence, itās absolutely fair and reasonable for me to have a share of the profits.ā
āFive ten-tenths might be a bit too much, but look around, look at me!ā
Under everyoneās gaze, Luo Chen pointed to his dusty clothes.
A first order lower-grade robeāsecond-hand!
There were holes in it, the corners had been scorched by fire.
He held out his hand, and a flying sword borrowed from Gu Caiyi shone into view.
A first order lower-grade flying sword, with flowers carved into it, specifically for female cultivators.
āPoor Xiao Luo, not properly fed, not warmly dressed, even my magic tools are second-hand, specifically for female cultivators.ā
āIf other forces come to see in the future, the Pill Hall Master of one of the Nine Halls, is in such a sorry state. How shameful! Itās not only my face, but the entire Broken Mountain Gangās, even Gang Leader Mi, a great foundation establishment cultivator!ā
Mi Shuhuaās face was splendid.
He never thought that one could play the pity card like that.
The others were also somewhat shocked. When they were at the middle stage of Qi refinement, they might not have been this miserable, right?
With teary eyes, Murong Qinglian said, āXiao Luo has endured enough hardship trying to improve his pill refinement technology. His robe is the shabbiest, his flying sword is cast-off from the neighbouring lady, he really has seen tough days.ā
Looking at it this way, a fifty percent share of the profits really didnāt seem excessive?
Yet.
āStill too much!ā
Mi Junping spoke coldly.
Luo Chen solemnly asked, āThen Merits Hall Master, whatās your suggestion?ā
āYou should contribute to our gang. Two Qi Nurturing Pills per month should be enough.ā Mi Junpingās face didnāt change a bit as she spoke.
Luo Chen was furious, āAre you trying to dismiss a beggar? If the news got out that Broken Mountain Gang treats pill refiners so harshly, the tens of thousands of cultivators in the Great River District will look down on you!ā
āWho are you to dare to speak like thisā¦ā Mi Junpingās eyebrows knitted as she prepared to criticise.
āPingāEr!ā
Mi Shuhua spoke, his smile never leaving his face.
āYes, once you join us, we are all family. How could we let a family member suffer? Moreover, we in the Broken Mountain Gang never treat any of our brothers harshly!ā
At his words, Mi Junpingās face subtly changed.
She had made a mistake.
If the news of us enslaving pill refiners really gets out, the reputation that Broken Mountain Gang has established over many years in The Great River District, and Mi Shuhuaās fondness for mentoring lower order cultivators, will be ruined in an instant.
Once the reputation turns sour, the chain reaction that would follow is something the Mi family cannot afford to handle.
Rogue cultivator group is about the strength in numbers.
However, if it gets to the point where the others are no longer willing to join, the rogue cultivator group would end up being just another gang in the history of The Great River District.
Mi Shuhua looked at Sikong Shoujia, āSikong, youāre mature and prudent, and have served in several halls in the past. How about giving a fair proposal for everyone to consider?ā
Cough Cough!
Clearing his throat, Sikong Shoujia raised a finger.
āTen percent, that should be enough.ā
āNoā¦ā
āXiao Luo, donāt be hasty in opposing. You have to think about it, the raw materials for the elixir are provided by the gang and the sales channels also belong to the gang. Additionally, you wonāt need to make any public appearances in the future, there will be specialized personnels for sales, think about how much time you can save for cultivation?ā
With great composure, Sikong Shoujia stated this step by step.
āWe elders are very aware of your predicament. Without saying much, Gang Leader Mi is fond of promoting young talent, he has plenty of ascendant grade magic tools, gifting you one wouldnāt be an issue.ā
āIsnāt that so, Gang Leader Mi?ā
Mi Shuhua gave a faint smile, āIndeed, gifting you a magic tool or two is not a big deal, why bother going outside to buy, I will just gift it to you.ā
But Luo Chen still remained silent, standing stiffly.
The atmosphere in the Bright Moon Hall was getting more and more oppressive.
After a while, a coarse and wild voice sounded.
āYoung man, one must not be greedy for gains, you must learn to be content.ā
Downhill Tiger, Luo Wudi!
Luo Chen shot him a glance, gritting his teeth, āTen percent profit share is indeed too low!ā
āThis is already the limit that the gang can afford, after all we have thousands of brothers to feed.ā Mi Junping stood firm.
Luo Chen lifted his head, ignoring her, and looked at everyone else.
āLuo Chen does not claim to be talented, but when it comes to pill refinement, I do have some insights.ā
āIf my cultivation level improves, and Iām given the right pill formula, I will definitely refine the required elixir for everyone for free.ā
This caused some commotion among the crowd.
There were signs of anticipation as their gazes drifted.ā
āNot only that, everyone can send your trusted disciples, or younger generations to the Pill Hall. Luo Chen will definitely do his best to guide them. If they learn something, they would also have a skill set in the future.ā
As soon as he finished.
Long Panhu and Yang Wei laughed out loud, āXiao Luo is being so generous, why should we be stingy.ā
Zhang Shicong from the Mining Hall spoke gently, āTen percent profit share is indeed too low, letās make it twenty percent, after all, Luo Chen is putting in a lot of effort.ā
Qin Liangchen and Murong Qinglian spoke in unison, āTwenty percent is neither too much nor too little, after all, Xiao Luo does not have any other means to earn money.ā
Since the meeting started, there was only one person who has not spoken yet.
That person was Wang Yuan.
He was frowning the entire time, until he saw Luo Chen bargaining with everyone word by word.
Though there were laughing, shouting, disgruntles, yet he was calm and collected, definitely not someone who would only whine and wallow in self pity.
Only then did his frown gradually relax.
āLetās settle for twenty percent. If itās more, it will arouse othersā greed and envy. If itās less, it will freeze peopleās enthusiasm.ā
Within a moment, including the gang leader, twelve executives of The Great River have already agreed on this share division.
If Luo Chen, who didnāt oppose, is counted, that would be more than half of them.
Mi Junpingās face had darkened.
Before this, they had already decided on a rough share division with the other hall masters.
Now, two more shares need to be distributed, the loss would be borne by their Mi Family.
Ke Yuelin dared not to speak anymore, because Qin Liangchen and his wife were glaring at him.
Sikong Shoujia was smiling at the corner of his mouth, he didnāt say a word, minding his own business.
Mi Shuhuaās smile gradually faded, his gaze falling on another person.
āZeng Wen, did you have a good time at Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion this past month?ā
