Luo Chen snorted, “I, Luo Chen, only work to clock out. Working overtime is not in line with my character.”
With that, he turned back to the Pill Hall and shouted loudly.
“Guys, we’re taking a day off today, make sure to come early tomorrow!”
The newcomers who were struggling with the heat and the various materials needed to make the Jade Marrow Pill immediately cheered.
“Long live the Hall Master!”
“See, nobody wants to work overtime.”
Gu Caiyi blinked, yet she wondered, isn’t this just skipping work? How could this be called overtime?
Luo Chen did not care about her opinions, considering she was not that smart.
When she used to work at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, the capitalists from various sects had completely fooled her through the long night shifts.
Clocking out early was not because he wanted to slack off.
It was mainly because he would miss the daytime market given his current schedule – waking up early and returning late.
After all, in the merciless Immortal Cultivation World of cunning and ruthless individuals, business wasn’t usually conducted at night.
Therefore, good items were essentially only available during the day.
Luo Chen was afraid that if he delayed any longer, he would have Spirit Stones with nowhere to spend them.
Under the escort of two bodyguards with puzzled expressions, Luo Chen, accompanied by Gu Caiyi, hurried back to the Inner City.
Then, immediately dove into the Rogue Cultivator Market in the southern part of the city.
The number of cultivators in The Great River District had increasingly grown, and the stable residential population had already exceeded 20,000.
Moreover, two small Foundation Establishment Immortal Cultivator clans had emerged in the nearby area, bringing along a population of several thousand.
It was said that the Yu Ding Sword Sect was still migrating its population to this area. Besides the ordinary people who numbered from hundreds of thousands to millions, there were several Immortal Cultivation clans as well.
All this to say, The Great River District was becoming increasingly prosperous. Significantly, in addition to the Rogue Cultivator Market in the southern part of the city and the main business street in the city center, two more trading centers had emerged.
One was at the White Stone Plaza outside the Dao Debate Platform where Yuan Xiaoyue sold her Immortal Bean Popcorn.
The other was in the north of the city, a small commercial street. The Broken Mountain Gang’s purchased shops were there.
The main businesses on this street were different from the city center’s business street, not involving any sects. They were essentially owned by small clans and gangs.
Luo Chen planned to take a stroll there when he had the time.
However, today his main destination would be the familiar Rogue Cultivator Market in the southern city and the business street in the center.
“First Order Dragon Bone? It sounds nice, but it’s just a swamp crocodile bone!” “But to be able to kill this creature, it does require some skills. Give me one!” “What? Just these few pieces of bone and you want three Spirit Stones from me? Are you out of your mind, I’m not buying, I’m not buying.”
Luo Chen yelled and fled with Gu Caiyi.
The Rogue Cultivator behind them gritted his teeth, “Friend, come back, let’s talk. How about this, two Spirit Stones. It really can’t be cheaper, these Dragon Bones weigh over thirty kilograms.”
Reluctantly, Luo Chen walked back, complaining while taking out the Spirit Stones.
What, it’s not even Demon Beast meat!
Blah blah, serious damage, only a few kilos can be cooked…
The Rogue Cultivator who sold the bones looked miserable, as if someone had died.
Such a cheapskate after getting a bargain!
If it wasn’t for the fact that the swamp crocodile’s bones were really hard to sell, he would never sell them for just two Spirit Stones.
Gu Caiyi, on the other hand, found all of this quite intriguing. Although Luo Chen had just received a generous dividend, he still lived a frugal life.
Of course, it was also possible that Luo Chen’s unyielding nature had made him accustomed to bargaining with others.
Next, Luo Chen went on a shopping spree at the center of the Rogue Cultivator Market.
He even gave Gu Caiyi a list and asked her to notify him whenever she saw any of the items on it.
It took three hours to shop in the southern city, and then the two of them headed straight for the central business street. They made large purchases at Spirit Source Study, Hundred Herbs Pavilion, and Spirit Medicine Hall.
Doing so, by the time they returned to the courtyard, Gu Caiyi was shocked when she calculated the cost.
“Luo Chen, you actually spent three hundred Spirit Stones today?”
Luo Chen nodded and then hurried into the house.
Gu Caiyi was still somewhat shocked. Luo Chen always acted frugally, as if every Spirit Stone was precious and had to be spent sparingly.
But when it came to spending Spirit Stones, he didn’t seem to be stingy at all. Such a contradiction.
A contradiction?
Luo Chen knew he was never contradictory.
He would go all out to earn Spirit Stones, and when it came to unnecessary expenses, he was thriftier than anyone else.
However, when it came to Dao Cultivation, he was more willing to spend money than anyone else.
The Qi Nurturing Pills were expensive, but even when he was at the Fourth Level Qi Refinement Stage, he still bought them five bottles at a time.
Boom!
The Purple Cloud Bronze Furnace was directly placed in his Pill Room.
Starting a fire, adding water, pouring in a bottle of Innate Powder sold by Spirit Medicine Hall for ten Spirit Stones and stirring thoroughly.
Then, various herbs were added in order, and finally, the crocodile Dragon Bone that seemed only a small section but actually weighed thirty kilos was thrown in.
“After boiling for three hours, a furnace of Nourishing Origin Liquid should be produced according to the Qingyuan Pill Explanation.”
Luo Chen let out a sigh of relief, looking forward to it.
The Qingyuan Pill Explanation recorded a lot of things, like the basics of Dao of Alchemy, alchemy methods, and some small pill formulas for Pill Refiners.
They could not be considered Pill Formulas, but if used for a long time, these small formulas could have effects comparable to First Order Pills.
Nourishing Origin Liquid was one of them.
By absorbing it through medicinal bath, Pill Refiners could not only gain a large amount of Yuan Qi, but their sensitivity to medicinal effects would also increase.
The original intent of the author, Qing Yuanzi, was to allow Pill Refiners to gain the latter effect, so they could better sense the changes in medicinal power in the pill during alchemy.
But now, Luo Chen was more interested in the former.
A large amount of Yuan Qi, wasn’t it the nutrition his body needed?
