Chapter 166: The Alchemy Holy Land of the Da Feng Dynasty, Nangong Ming_2
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Within the Da Feng Dynasty, many sub-sects of the Wan Dan Sect suffered tremendous losses.
Even the upper echelon of those sub-sects, after becoming aware of the situation,
drove out those who tried to undermine their foundation.
However, news of the Wan Dan Sect’s profit-sharing reform had already been leaked out.
…
The Da Feng Dynasty, vast in territory,
is divided into thirteen prefectures.
Among them, one is known as Changqing Prefecture.
Within Changqing Prefecture, there also exists a sub-sect of the Wan Dan Sect.
However, what sets this sub-sect apart from the others is that, hundreds of years ago, it became the leader of the thirteen Wan Dan Sect sub-sects within the Da Feng Dynasty.
Countless alchemists regard the sub-sect within Changqing Prefecture as the holy land for alchemists in the Da Feng Dynasty.
Just that today, the alchemists inside the Wan Dan Sect sub-sect of Changqing Prefecture,
seem to be discussing a particular matter.
“Brother, have you heard?”
“The Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect of the Wan Dan Sect has reformed its profit-sharing system.”
“The new profit-share has reached a staggering seventy percent.”
“That’s thirty percent more than before!!!”
Inside the Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect.
Some young alchemists chatted with fervor.
“Such matters are naturally known.”
“Moreover, I have heard that ever since that Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect reformed their profit-sharing system,”
“alchemists from other sub-sects within the Da Feng Dynasty are continually choosing to join the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect. Do you think we should also join them?”
As these words were spoken,
a middle-aged alchemist couldn’t help but walk over in silence.
After looking at the young alchemists, he said with a somewhat stern expression, “Our Wan Dan Sect’s profit-sharing system has existed since its inception. Out of it, thirty percent goes to the Main Sect, and the remaining twenty percent is left for the sub-sects to manage freely.”
“Whether it’s the alchemist’s salary or the development and strengthening of the sub-sect,”
“everything is inseparable from this profit-sharing system.”
“So, just watch!”
“That Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect won’t last for long…”
“Those alchemists who chose to join the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect, once it falls completely, will ultimately choose to rejoin other sub-sects.”
Having said that, the middle-aged alchemist then crossed his arms and silently walked away.
The young alchemists, upon hearing these words, couldn’t help but nod slightly.
The words were indeed true.
The profit-sharing system has been in place since the inception of the Wan Dan Sect.
And it was by relying on this nearly perfect system that the Wan Dan Sect could rise powerfully from ancient times, amidst the encirclement of countless alchemy powers and alchemic families.
Therefore, the reform of the profit-sharing system by the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect was almost tantamount to seeking one’s own doom.
…
Wan Dan Sect’s Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect.
Inside a palace that appeared quite ordinary but contained many extraordinary aspects,
a middle-aged man dressed in yellow stood silently by the side of an Upper Tier Yellow Grade Furnace Cauldron.
Beneath the cauldron, a deep black flame burned continuously.
Even as the flame burned,
slight figures of Flame Black Crows would occasionally emerge from the dark flames, frolicking and rushing about.
Meanwhile, the lid of the Lower Tier Yellow Grade Furnace Cauldron,
is shaking ever so slightly.
[Bang!!!]
Following a burst of explosive noise from inside the cauldron,
the alchemy attempt of the middle-aged man was declared a failure.
“Sect Master, in the past half-month, the strength of the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect has seen tremendous growth,”
“and it seems that quite a few alchemists plan to join them.”
“If this continues…”
Mid-sentence, in the palace, behind the middle-aged man,
the voice of the grey-robed monk came to an abrupt halt.
“Are you afraid that if this continues, our Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect’s status as the leader will eventually be taken away by the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect?”
The middle-aged man kept speaking as he walked forward in silence,
lifting the lid off the Mid-Tier Yellow Grade Alchemy Furnace.
Looking at the remnants of the residual elixir ashes inside,
and then at the billowing black smoke,
he couldn’t help but shake his head slightly, his face gradually showing a trace of disappointment.
The ingredients inside the cauldron were intended for the production of the new Epiphyllum Elixir.
In recent times, the middle-aged man had been trying to reverse-engineer the methods to create the new version of the Epiphyllum Elixir.
After all, who wouldn’t be moved by such highly profitable new elixirs?
However, disappointingly…
The production of this new Epiphyllum Elixir seemed not as straightforward as he had imagined.
“I’m just somewhat worried…”
In the palace, the grey-robed monk bowed his head slightly,
“Rest assured…”
The middle-aged man waved his hand, tidying up the remains of the elixir ashes in the Mid-Tier Yellow Grade Alchemy Furnace,
then turned around to face the grey-robed monk in front of him,
and continued, “The actions of the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect are akin to quenching one’s thirst with poison, they’re on the path to self-destruction.”
“I had contemplated reforming the profit-sharing system as far back as twenty or thirty years ago.”
“But, after considerable thought, I ultimately did not dare to touch this system lightly.”
“Do you know why?”
The grey-robed monk shook his head, his face showing a trace of confusion.
