Chapter 275: Chapter 143: Feng Wuyi, the First of the Sub-sect, Seeking Survival from Death_2
Luo Changfeng nodded again.
Of course, he did not take the initiative to say that apart from alchemy and inscription, he had also dabbled slightly in formations and artifact refining, two significant professions.
If he really did reveal all of this information,
he wondered to what extent the two old men before him would be astonished.
Would they be so surprised that they would keel over?
…
Once Luo Changfeng voiced his intention to sell talismans to earn spirit stones,
the matters that followed were much easier to handle.
After all, both the Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master of the Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect were here.
Besides, the profits from elixirs would be taxed by the Main Sect, with a thirty percent cut taken.
The shadow-recording stone and those talismans don’t have to be, right?
Just one shadow-recording stone alone could create a terrifying revenue of spirit stones for the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect.
If a talisman were to be added into the mix…
Wouldn’t the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect be like holding two inexhaustible veins of spirit stones?
Just the thought of it was somewhat exhilarating.
Moreover, apart from earning spirit stones,
the shadow-recording stone and various talismans could become distinctive features of the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect.
In the future, if they wanted to poach talents from other sub-sects,
it would presumably be even more convenient and easier.
[Brother, my stipend on this side is double that of yours!]
[Brother, the two layers of revenue share from elixir sales have been completely waived on this side!]
[Brother, we have shadow-recording stones here for viewing, almost like having a high-grade alchemist personally teach you how to perform alchemy!]
[Brother, we also have talismans available for purchase here, which can be used for self-defense!]
[Brother, aren’t we all sub-sects of the Wan Dan Sect, so where does it matter where we stay?]
Under such immense temptation,
what alchemist could not be poached by the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect?
…
In the blink of an eye, several days passed by.
In the Da Feng Dynasty, within the grand hall of the Changqing Prefecture’s Wan Dan Sect Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect,
stood Nangong Ming, the current Sect Master of the Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect,
all alone, in silent contemplation.
“Sect Master, in recent times, five Yellow Grade low-level alchemists within our Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect have already chosen to join the Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect.”
“This is just within the scope of our Changqing Prefecture alone.”
“If we include other prefectures’ sub-sects, the number of Yellow Grade low-level alchemists that have joined Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect recently has at least reached the double digits…”
Outside the somewhat vacant palace,
Zhuang Hong, the Deputy Sect Master of Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect,
silently walked into the palace at this moment.
His face bore a look of helplessness and bitterness.
The helplessness stemmed from the fact that Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect’s advantages had gradually expanded to a point where Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect was completely unable to turn the situation around.
And the bitterness arose from witnessing Changqing Prefecture, once the sacred land of alchemists in the Da Feng Dynasty, now gradually declining.
This feeling was quite bitter and uncomfortable.
“The number of Yellow Grade low-level alchemists who chose to join Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect has reached double digits?”
Upon hearing this, Nangong Ming, who had maintained a calm face, couldn’t help but reveal a somewhat bitter smile.
So, it has come to this.
He has ultimately been defeated by the Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect, hasn’t he?
Actually, if it was possible to stop the loss of Yellow Grade low-level alchemists from Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect or its faction,
it wouldn’t be so quick for the two major sub-sect factions to decide the winner.
However, as the Yellow Grade low-level alchemists from the Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect faction gradually defected,
and the number of counterparts in Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect steadily increased,
the scales of victory would quickly tilt in favor of the Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect faction.
“I understand this matter; you may withdraw…”
After regaining his composure, Nangong Ming said to Zhuang Hong, who stood behind him, in a low voice.
“Sect Master…”
Zhuang Hong hesitated for a moment as if he had more to say.
But it seemed that Nangong Ming was no longer interested in what Zhuang Hong would say next.
…
Shortly after,
Zhuang Hong, the current Deputy Sect Master in black, left the grand hall.
Once again, only Nangong Ming remained within the vast palace.
A gust of cold wind faced him head-on.
Nangong Ming gazed at the somewhat vacant palace,
then at the Yellow Grade top-tier alchemy furnace placed at the central position.
Turning around, he walked out of the palace,
looking at the Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect which seemed to have lost its former prosperity and appeared somewhat in decline.
His emotions became somewhat complex for a moment.
“Young Master.”
Just as Nangong Ming was immersed in a certain sorrowful mood,
the man in black who stood behind him
suddenly appeared at this moment.
“Young Master, the Da Feng Dynasty is ultimately but a small place, and the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect is where you can truly show your abilities.
If the Young Master is willing to return…”
“The old master will surely be overjoyed.”
The man in black bowed his head slightly, speaking with a respectful demeanor.
“Return?”
Nangong Ming couldn’t help but let out a snort, shaking his head silently as he said in a low voice, “Return for what? To continue hearing those harsh words?”
“Worthless except for being born into a good family?”
“Having no talent besides having a notable father?”
“How do you deem yourself worthy of the Nangong surname?”
As he spoke, Nangong Ming couldn’t help but walk silently towards the distance.
The man in black behind Nangong Ming tried to follow,
