Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 175: Chapter 113: A true man born between heaven and earth, how can he live under the dominance of others for long_4

He wasn’t worried at all, for he had several unused lower-grade magic tools that he could entirely place as bets.

Luo Chen was very clear that blind cultivation alone was not advisable.

Even if he amassed great wealth, should he encounter a defeat someday, and his wealth was snatched away by others.

Even if he saved his own life, all his efforts would become as elusive as a mirror flower or water moon.

Appropriately tempering his Protective Dao Technique was also very necessary.

Although he ordinarily sought some Demon Beasts for training, truthfully, the First Order Demon Beasts didn’t have much spirit intelligence.

Even the more potent ones acted purely out of instincts.

Things like the Protective Dao Technique, he would need to battle human clan cultivators for rapid progress.

Furthermore, Mi Shuhua mentioned today that cultivators who frequently battle usually have higher purity spirit power than those who indulge in bitter cultivation.

It is evident that combat can also partly serve to refine spirit power.

However, this matter isn’t urgent, he would address it later when he had time.

Luo Chen watched for a while, then took Yuan Xiaoyue and Feng Xia, who had just finished work, back home.

In the yard, he separately settled last month’s accounts with both of them.

The income from Chen Yue’s little food stall was very stable, still around six hundred spirit stones. He gave Yuan Xiaoyue sixty spirit stones, and the delighted recipient went home.

The milk tea store, on the other hand, pleasantly surprised Luo Chen.

In the first month, the gross income astonishingly reached over five hundred spirit stones.

After deducting over a hundred for costs, which included raw materials and rent, he still had four hundred left.

Luo Chen took three hundred and thirty, then slid seventy spirit stones over to Feng Xia.

”This much?” Feng Xia was somewhat surprised.

Luo Chen gave a faint smile, ”It’s not much. The fixed salary is fifty just like it was at Hundred Herbs Pavilion, the extra twenty are your dividends.”

Recruiting Feng Xia, a late-stage cultivator of the Seventh Level Qi Refinement for a month, only cost seventy spirit stones.

It has to be said, Luo Chen was very satisfied.

”In future, the business in the store will only get better, Sister Xia. You will also be able to get a hold of more spirit stones.”

Feng Xia happily accepted the spirit stones.

Touching the spirit stones, Feng Xia hesitated for a moment, then said, ”Actually, sometimes there are too many people, and I can’t keep up. Perhaps we could have earned more last month.”

”I know that, that’s why I said a long time ago that after you get familiar with things, we can hire another person.” Luo Chen nodded.

”What do you think about Xiao Duan?”

On hearing Duan Feng’s name, Luo Chen was momentarily taken aback.

Feng Xia sighed, ”Rather than waiting for him to recover and go to the Dao Debate Platform to fight life and death, it’s better to sell milk tea peacefully at the store. There have been many neighbors who have come and gone over the years – Xiao Duan might seem cold, but he’s actually pretty good. I don’t want to see him die on the Dao Debate Platform.”

Luo Chen blinked, ”Sister Xia, are you sure that’s all?”

However, he didn’t reveal her thoughts and just laughed, ”If Xiao Duan is willing, I don’t mind. But he won’t have any bonuses, only fifty spirit stones as a fixed monthly salary.”

”Fifty is not little. After saving for a few years, he could open a little shop for repairing magic tools. His skills in repairing magic tools are really good.”

As she spoke about it, Feng Xia herself began to agree with her own ideas.

However, before Luo Chen left the following day, Duan Feng rejected the idea.

”Before I recover, I will help Sister Xia sell milk tea.”

”I don’t want spirit stones.”

”After I’ve recovered, I will still go to the Dao Debate Platform to hone myself.”

Those were his replies. Feng Xia couldn’t be persistent about it, and Luo Chen naturally didn’t oppose it either.

He got a free worker, huh!

While leaving the city, Luo Chen suddenly remembered something.

The spirit power fluctuation in Duan Feng seemed no different from before, but as his injuries gradually healed, why did he feel that it was much stronger than before?

”Could it be that he’s actually using the Dao Debate Platform battles to purify his spirit power in the late stage of Qi Refinement?”
