Seeing that Luo Changfeng remained unfazed,
Fu Qiu couldn’t help but ask with some confusion in his voice.
“Don’t worry…”
As Luo Changfeng spoke, he silently sipped the steaming hot tea in his hands, “The stance between the Wan Dan Sect’s Main Sect and the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect is now as different as heaven and earth; one is a top sect within the entire Xuanyuan Continent, ranked among the top ten, while the other, situated within the small Da Feng Dynasty, ranks at most among the top three.”
“How could an entity as vast as the Main Sect bother to pay attention to an inconspicuous sub-sect among the countless others?”
“Besides, as far as the reforms to the system go, we’ve only erased the two-tenths that the sub-sect was contributing.”
“We haven’t touched a single fraction of the Main Sect’s three-tenths.”
“The interests of the Main Sect have not been harmed, so why would they bother to pay attention to such a small sub-sect like ours?”
“Moreover, the Wan Dan Sect has persisted from ancient times until the present day.”
“I refuse to believe that in that time, not a single sub-sect had ever reformed the division of profits.”
“So, what is there to fear?”
“Eat what should be eaten, drink what should be drunk, and don’t worry about things that don’t need worrying about.”
Having said all this,
Luo Changfeng also finished the cup of tea in his hand.
At that moment, under the Stone Pavilion,
Luo Changfeng’s expression remained calm and unchanged.
And in front of Luo Changfeng was Fu Qiu, who was slightly bowing his head, as if pondering over something.
After mulling over his thoughts for quite a while, he finally let out a slow breath.
“Luo elder brother’s words are true.”
“Previously, indeed, I was a bit too obsessed…”
Fu Qiu said, laughing and shaking his head.
Seeing that Fu Qiu was no longer fixated on that matter, Luo Changfeng suddenly asked, “By the way, I have something I want to ask you.”
“Luo elder brother, please feel free to ask any question…”
After pondering for a moment, Luo Changfeng asked in a low voice, “How is that Luo Yang kid doing now?”
Fu Qiu, somewhat puzzled, raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Luo Yang?”
“Who is that?”
“Could it be a junior member of Luo elder brother’s family?”
Hearing this, Luo Changfeng’s brows unconsciously furrowed slightly.
That shouldn’t be!
Fu Qiu should know.
Previously, Luo Changfeng remembered instructing that boy Luo Yang to report his own name.
Then, someone would take proper care of him.
But now Fu Qiu seemed to know nothing about the name.
Had something happened in the meantime?
…
Under the Stone Pavilion.
Luo Changfeng didn’t say anything more.
But Fu Qiu seemed to perceive that something was slightly amiss with Luo Changfeng.
He waved his hand and quietly inquired of a hidden guard, trained by the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect and who possessed the Viscera Refinement Initial Stage realm,
“Have you ever heard the name Luo Yang?”
The hidden guard lowered his head slightly, hesitated after pondering for a moment, and replied in a low voice, “Deputy Sect Master, within our Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect, there indeed is an outer disciple named Luo Yang. His alchemy talent is considered the most top-notch among the newcomers in the sub-sect, but it’s just that…”
Fu Qiu, noticing the guard’s hesitancy, pressed on, “What is it exactly?”
The hidden guard let out a slight sigh.
Then, he said quietly, “It’s just that Luo Yang behaves quite peculiarly on a regular basis.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Qiu asked further, “In what way is he peculiar?”
The hidden guard replied softly, “I’ve heard that Luo Yang, aside from mastering the essential principles and techniques of Alchemy, spends his days researching the method to concoct some sort of Epiphyllum Elixir.”
“Therefore, even though Luo Yang’s talent for alchemy is rather impressive…”
“Some alchemists within the sub-sect are not willing to deal with him.”
After saying this, the hidden guard trained by the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect slowly vanished into the courtyard.
Fu Qiu looked up, intending to ask,
whether this Luo Yang was the same Luo Yang that Elder Brother Luo had mentioned.
However, Luo Changfeng directly interrupted him.
The topic of conversation between the two gradually shifted from Luo Yang to how one could acquire the spirit-enhancing soil for cultivating spiritual medicines.
“Spirit-enhancing soil is a treasure born of heaven and earth,”
“When medicinal herbs are planted in spirit-enhancing soil and absorb the spiritual power within, over time and through the years, a herb can transform into spiritual medicine,”
“It’s just… rather regrettable”
“that most of the spirit-enhancing soil that has been discovered in the world is under the control of the Spirit Medicine Sect, a subordinate sect under the main sect of the Wan Dan Sect.”
“If we wish to find spirit-enhancing soil,”
“the likelihood of success is virtually zero.”
Hearing these words, Luo Changfeng’s brows could not help but furrow slightly, “Is it possible to purchase spirit-enhancing soil through the channels of the Wan Dan Sect’s Main Sect?”
Fu Qiu shook his head and said in a low voice, “We cannot.”
Hearing this response, Luo Changfeng nodded silently.
This answer was also within his expectations.
After all, the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect desired to maintain control over its sub-sects.
There would always be certain measures in place.
Otherwise, what would they do if a sub-sect tried to pull off something akin to obeying only in appearance and not in spirit?
…
“Right, have the materials for making the Epiphyllum Elixir been delivered by the Main Sect?”
Underneath the Stone Pavilion, Luo Changfeng quietly inquired.
Without spiritual medicines, no matter how skilled he was in alchemy,
he naturally couldn’t just conjure up an Epiphyllum Elixir from thin air.
“They have been delivered…”
After Fu Qiu waved his hand, he directly took out a pile of spiritual medicines from his storage bag, like a small mountain.
The spiritual medicines were piled up casually in the courtyard, faintly emitting bursts of medicinal fragrance.
“It’s just that the price of these spiritual medicines is about fifty percent higher than before,”
“Inside the Da Feng Dynasty, although those sub-sects can’t completely block the flow of materials for making the Epiphyllum Elixir into our Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect,”
“they can raise the prices of spiritual medicines by frantically purchasing them.”
