Flying Cloud Island

Flying Cloud Island boasts beautiful mountains and clear waters.

Seven days ago.

Disciples from the Hall of Spiritual Insight arrived and used their Technique Method to construct buildings and arrays. The project was completed in just five days.

Yesterday, disciples of the Pill Convergence Hall arrived on the island one after another.

Even today, batches of supplies continue to be delivered.

Flying Cloud Hall.

Inside the alchemy room, seven cauldrons were set up, each with Alchemist in front, refining elixirs.

Lu Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back, observing the seven people refining pills while listening to the report from his steward, Feng Jin.

"The three hundred Talisman Artifact Pill Furnace, twenty first-tier Pill Furnace, five second-tier Pill Furnace, and one third-tier Pill Furnace have all been delivered."

"The proportion of medicinal herbs and spirit medicine is not bad."

"Junior Brother Lu needs to restore order on Flying Cloud Island and organize the disciples to refine pills as soon as possible."

"I've already discussed the details with my junior brother, so I won't go into them again."

Feng Jin handed Lu Qingfeng a detailed list of supplies and personnel on Flying Cloud Island.

Lu Qingfeng nodded slightly and said to Feng Jin, "Thank you for your help, Senior Brother Feng."

In the Pill Convergence Hall, besides the Hall Master, True Disciple, and ordinary disciples, there are also elders and stewards. Some of them are disciples from various peaks, and some are senior disciples from the Pill Convergence Hall.

Responsible for the Pill Convergence Hall.

Such as personnel allocation, material transfer, etc.

Feng Jin is an attendant under Elder Han Qi in the Pill Convergence Hall, responsible for managing supplies and distributing resources to Flying Cloud Island.

Lu Qingfeng took the list, summoned a steward belonging to Flying Cloud Island, handed him the list, and went to check it.

Feng Jin had no complaints about this.

This is only natural.

Today's inventory and handover are clear, saving us from many disputes later. It's better to avoid conflict with a True Disciple, one who is highly regarded by the True Disciple leader. Despite his seniority, he has no advantage whatsoever.

After a while.

The steward from Flying Cloud Island returned to report, "The inventory has been completed and there are no errors or omissions."

"In that case, I'll go back and report."

After handing over the reins to Lu Qingfeng, Feng Jin took his leave.

Lu Qingfeng personally escorted them out of the Flying Cloud Hall, and then returned to the alchemy room. The seven Alchemists were also nearing the end of this batch of pills.

Fifteen minutes later—

"White Flame Pill".

"Moon Condensation Pill".

"Zhaogu Dan".

"The blue sea rises with crimson tides."

"Blood Soul Pill".

"The Demon-Breaking Pill".

"Xingzhen Dan".

"Please, senior brother, take a look."

Zhang Qi and the other six people collected the pills and came to Lu Qingfeng with respectful attitude.

In the Pill Convergence Hall, those who have attained the highest level are given priority, and those who have received the True Disciple are given top honors.

Lu Qingfeng is both True Disciple and Third-Order Alchemist. Only someone like Feng Jin, who holds the position of steward and is a senior member, can call Lu Qingfeng his junior brother.

Other first- or Second-Order Alchemist, as long as they are from the same generation as this generation's True Disciple, must address him as senior brother to show respect.

Zhang Qi and the other six were two Second-Order Alchemists and five First-Order Alchemist assigned to Flying Cloud Island. Their experience was limited, and their alchemy skills were far inferior to Lu Qingfeng's, so they had to acknowledge his inferiority.

Lu Qingfeng accepted the offer without hesitation and examined each item.

White Flame Pill, Moon Condensation Pill, and others are all First-Order Spirit Pill. With the skill level of seven people, refining them is not difficult.

However, there were many mistakes and omissions during the refining process.

As a result, Lu Qingfeng didn't need to look at the refined pills much to know that they would definitely have various problems that would damage their medicinal properties and thus affect the quality of the elixirs.

"Junior Brother Zhang, this batch of White Flame Pills has been flawed from the moment it was lit. One of the ingredients in White Flame Pills is Sweet Phoenix Grass, which is yin in nature. It cannot be refined with Supreme Yang Blaze, otherwise the yin medicinal properties will be destroyed, and the final elixir will be of low quality."

"When the furnace fire rises and falls three times, and the medicinal Primordial Unity, you should..."

Lu Qingfeng quickly got into the zone.

The text discusses the problems encountered by the seven individuals during the alchemy process and uses the final product as teaching material, pointing out errors and how to correct them.

Zhang Qi and the others were immediately convinced.

With real skills, you can quickly earn respect and take the initiative wherever you go.

After giving some pointers, Lu Qingfeng dismissed the seven men.

"There are about a hundred second-tier and First-Order Alchemist Second-Order Alchemist the Pill Convergence Hall. Five True Disciple of the Pill Convergence Hall, including three senior brothers and sisters, have selected a group of alchemists from the islands they have established. Most of the first-tier and Second-Order Alchemist who remain are the least experienced among them."

"The worst in terms of qualifications and foundation."

"Even the two hundred Pill-Refining Apprentice were the ones who remained after they were selected, so their quality was by no means good."

Lu Qingfeng hadn't considered this beforehand, but it was harmless.

He was confident in his solid foundation, strong theoretical knowledge, and decent ability to train his apprentices.

Moreover, the most important thing in alchemy is practice.

Lu Qingfeng already had a plan in mind.

Next, a selection process will be conducted. From the seven first- and Second-Order Alchemist and the two hundred Pill-Refining Apprentice, those who are diligent and hardworking will be selected for focused training.

As for loyalty.

Lu Qingfeng was the most respected figure on the entire Flying Cloud Island, essentially serving as his independent sect.

Whether it's the disciples and stewards managing worldly affairs on the island, or the first and Second-Order Alchemist, they all take Lu Qingfeng as their leader. With the Pill Convergence Hall and Gu Buyan above them, they wouldn't dare to do something like 'betrayal'.

But necessary measures still need to be taken.

"In addition to supplying the disciples, stewards, and elders of each peak and hall, if there are any surplus pills in the Pill Convergence Hall, they will be sent to the various markets controlled by the Mystic Origin Sect for sale."

"There are also some sects that are not good at alchemy and have long-term cooperation with the Mystic Origin Sect."

"In the past, both Hall of Rare Treasures and Pill Convergence Hall had elders and deacons who were in charge of selling pills."

"However, in recent years, the Pill Convergence Hall has been operating at a loss, losing money year after year. The pills it produces can barely supply the sect's own needs, and it is not even enough to supply the major markets, let alone sell to other sects."

Lu Qingfeng is in charge of Flying Cloud Island, not counting his stewards and secular disciples.

There are more than two hundred people who specialize in alchemy.

Two hundred of them Pill-Refining Apprentice who can only refine pills that are not of a certain grade. These pills are mainly supplied to the disciples in the secular affairs department, as well as the disciples in the outer sect and inner sect of the various inner disciple under the jurisdiction of the Hall of Gathering Heroes who are at the True Qi Realm.

The demand is enormous.

These tasks are allocated based on the number of people; the number of Alchemist on Flying Cloud Island determines the corresponding number of pill-refining tasks.

"Failure to complete the mission is not a big deal for me, but it will inevitably lose points in the Pill Convergence Hall, which is not conducive to building prestige."

Lu Qingfeng aspires to become the master of the Pill Convergence Hall.

He even dreamed of one day being able to the Pill Convergence Hall into his own system and become an important part of the 'Azure Origin Sword Sect' system.

We must take it seriously.

As Lu Qingfeng hurried toward the cave abode, he sketched out his plan and considered the details and implications.

Before we knew it, we had arrived at the cave abode.

"Big brother."

Lu Qingyu stepped forward to greet her.

She ultimately decided to stay in the Profound Origin Water Realm with Lu Qingfeng. Originally, she planned to open a shop in Oxhead Mountain Market, but she moved it to Gathering Immortals Market instead.

"Things about the shop are starting to look promising."

"I asked Wang Hui, the steward of the Hall of Gathering Heroes, to inquire. There are two shops in the Gathering Immortals Market that are available for rent or sale. Although the prices are not low, as long as you can run them, you will definitely make a lot of Spirit Stone."

Lu Qingfeng put aside his thoughts about Flying Cloud Island and spoke to Lu Qingyu.

"Very good!"

Lu Qingyu's face immediately lit up.

Having spent a few days with her elder brother in the Pill Convergence Hall, Lu Qingyu felt constantly constrained. After all, Lu Qingfeng was True Disciple of the Pill Convergence Hall, while Lu Qingyu had no status whatsoever, making her feel somewhat lost and out of place.

Now that the shop I've been longing for has been settled, I can finally divert my attention and not just stay on Flying Cloud Island doing nothing but cultivation.

And.

When Lu Qingyu set off from the Gathering Cloud Mountains, she was already thinking about how to run the shop, what industries to operate, and how much profit to make.

Full of anticipation, I feel excited and ready to make a big splash.

Having just arrived, Lu Qingfeng had been busy with many things and hadn't had time to think about Qingyu, which made him feel guilty. But seeing Qingyu's lively expression, Lu Qingfeng's mood improved.

With a pat on his waist, the Ironwing Flying Eagle flew out of the Spirit Beast Pouch and landed in front of Lu Qingfeng with a whoosh.

"Walk."

"I'll take you to Gathering Immortals Market right now to finalize the shop lease."

Lu Qingfeng landed on the back of the Ironwing Flying Eagle and said to Lu Qingyu.

"Good."

Lu Qingyu responded crisply, her face full of joy.

He released the White Crane and followed Lu Qingfeng to Gathering Immortals Market.

Gathering Immortals Island.

Cloudrise Mountain.

Lu Qingfeng and Lu Qingyu landed and found Wang Hui.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Lu."

Upon meeting, Wang Hui clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

He was a steward of the Hall of Gathering Heroes, in charge of Cloudrise Mountain. Lu Qingfeng, on the other hand, was a True Disciple of the Hall, whose status was far above his. Wang Hui quickly changed his tune and changed his words.

"Senior Brother Wang is a few years older than me, so you can just call me Junior Brother."

Lu Qingfeng didn't act arrogantly either, and addressed him as "senior brother" in the same way.

Wang Hui was pleased, but repeatedly said he dared not accept. After being refused three times, he finally reluctantly accepted.

His expression softened, becoming more friendly. "Junior Brother, did you come for the two shops on Soaring Phoenix Mountain?"

"Good."

"I would appreciate it if you could act as my matchmaker, senior brother."

Lu Qingfeng nodded.

A few days ago, after Lu Qingyu decided to stay, Lu Qingfeng started inquiring about shops in Gathering Immortals Market for her. Having just arrived at the Mystic Origin Sect, he knew no one in the Pill Convergence Hall except for his master.

Then I thought of Wang Hui.

I asked Wang Hui to keep an eye out for me.

Wang Hui had been in charge of Cloudrise Mountain for some time. Although he was a steward of the Hall of Gathering Heroes, he was quite familiar with many stewards of the Hall of Rare Treasures. Just two days after Lu Qingfeng's instructions, Wang Hui sent word that two shops on Soaring Phoenix Mountain in Gathering Immortals Market had become vacant.

Lu Qingfeng quickly asked Wang Hui to help make the contact, and as soon as he had some free time today, he brought Lu Qingyu over.

"No problem, no problem."

"I'll take my junior brother to check out the two shops first, and see which one suits his taste."

Wang Hui led Lu Qingfeng and Lu Qingyu towards Soaring Phoenix Mountain.

Soaring Phoenix Mountain.

Many shops have been built here, covering all kinds of trades. In addition to the shops opened by the Mystic Origin Sect itself, they are also rented to other sects or Rogue Cultivator in the Mystic Origin Realm.

It is a prime location with a large number of cultivators coming and going every day.

"Big brother."

"The rent here must be expensive."

Lu Qingyu whispered to Lu Qingfeng.

She noticed that there were many shops on Soaring Phoenix Mountain, and a large number of cultivators coming and going. With such a large flow of people, the shop rents were naturally not cheap.

Wang Hui, who was overhearing this, laughed and said, "I inquired about it for my junior brother. There are two shops. One is a three-story pavilion, which is quite exquisitely built and located in a prime location, so the rent is relatively high, requiring thirty Spirit Stone per year."
