Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood - Chapter 167
Chapter 167: Chapter 107: The Alchemy Holy Land of the Da Feng Dynasty, Nangong Ming_3
The middle-aged man responded to this by placing his hands behind his back.
As he walked towards the palace’s exit, he murmured softly, “Often, there are things you wish to do that can’t be easily achieved, much like the division system within the Wan Dan Sect. It may seem somewhat unreasonable, but in reality, it’s like pulling one hair and moving the whole body…”
“Reform is easy,” he continued.
“But who has ever considered what will happen after reform?”
“After reform, who will issue the pay for the alchemists?”
“After reform, how should the sub-sect develop?”
“Not to mention others, just the maintenance of the various structures within the sub-sect and the welfare of the alchemists, how shall we continue to proceed?”
“Therefore, I am certain that the Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect will completely collapse within no more than half a year,” he declared.
Having finished speaking, the authoritative-looking middle-aged man continued to walk out of the palace with his hands behind his back.
As for the grey-clothed monk inside the palace,
he nodded in agreement before vanishing within the palace.
Now, who was this middle-aged man?
This existence was none other than Nangong Ming, the current Sect Master of the Wan Dan Sect’s Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect.
He also happened to be the only distinguished alchemist within the Da Feng Dynasty capable of concocting Yellow Grade Upper Tier elixirs.
…
Time flew swiftly by.
In the blink of an eye, another half-month had passed.
During this half-month, the situation in Huai Shui County had become increasingly chaotic.
The Chen Family, Feng Family.
The allied forces of both prominent families launched an extremely ferocious offensive against the Tang Family.
They even seemed willing to sacrifice large numbers of soldiers’ lives.
What they wanted was to take down the entire territory of the Tang Family in the shortest time possible.
Faced with such a frenzied assault, the Tang Family naturally perceived the intentions of the Feng and Chen Families.
Thus, they continuously urged the Luo Family to send troops and attack the Chen and Feng Families.
But you bastard, you haven’t even sent over one-tenth, not even one-twentieth of the promised food.
You still want the Luo Family to help you relieve some pressure?
Isn’t this just daydreaming?
…
Huai Shui County, Tang Family City, Tang Family Ancestral Land.
Inside the room where the Tang Family Head resided.
At the moment, Tang Huaiping was sitting quietly on a special large armchair.
In his hands, he held a folded letter.
The more he read, the uglier his expression became.
Within just half a month, his Tang Family had lost another county city and a small town.
Even the number of troops had suffered a loss of about sixty thousand.
And these were all armored soldiers.
While they were not exactly elites,
these soldiers were at least armored and had undergone a series of trainings.
And now, they were lost on the battlefield.
This caused Tang Huaiping considerable distress.
“How’s it going with the Luo Family?” he asked.
“Has the army of 150,000 armored soldiers reached the borders of the Chen and Feng Families?”
Suddenly, Tang Huaiping set down the document he was holding.
He raised his head and asked the Great Elder beside him in a low voice.
“Family Head, the Luo Family says the journey is far too long and they still need some time before they can arrive…”
Tang Yuan slightly lowered his head as he spoke.
“What?” Tang Huaiping’s eyes widened in shock when he heard this, and a surge of anger flashed through them, “How many days has it been? Why hasn’t the Luo Family arrived yet?”
“Are they truly intending to help our Tang Family, or are they playing us for fools?”
As Tang Huaiping’s voice gradually faded.
Tang Yuan swallowed, hesitated for a moment, then chose to say to Tang Huaiping, “Family Head, perhaps it’s because our Tang Family hasn’t yet fulfilled our promise to the Luo Family, so…”
At this point, Tang Yuan didn’t dare to continue.
He had experienced the temper of the Family Head of his own family.
What could be said and what could not be said.
As a shrewd man, the Great Elder of the Tang Family, Tang Yuan, naturally knew it well.
“The Luo Family of Qingshi Town, truly insatiable…”
Tang Huaiping raised his head and silently looked in the direction where the Luo Family in Qingshi Town was located.
However, out of helplessness.
He could only continue to increase the grain tribute to the Luo Family.
Now, to turn the tide, he still had to rely on the Luo Family of Qingshi Town, and for the time being, he couldn’t afford to sever ties with them.
…
In the blink of an eye, several more days passed.
Under the command of Tang Huaiping, the Family Head of the Tang Family.
The grain received by the Luo Family, indeed, began to increase exponentially.
Within Huai Shui County, the Chen Family and the Feng Family were also intensifying their offensive against the Tang Family.
Luo Yong on his side, equally hastened the pace of his march.
After all, since the grain had been delivered, it would be inappropriate to keep dawdling on the road.
Meanwhile, in the Luo Family Ancestral Land located in Qingshi Town.
In the courtyard where the Ancestor of the Luo Family was.
At this time, Luo Changfeng seemed completely unaffected by the struggles of the external forces.
He remained in his small courtyard.
Either drinking tea or practicing alchemy.
However, what troubled him was that ever since Luo Mountain Prefecture became a target, he could no longer purchase materials for the new version of the Epiphyllum Elixir.
What he was using now was all from previously accumulated stock.
If he wanted to continue to mass-produce the new version of the Epiphyllum Elixir… unless he waited for the Main Sect to transport the stock of materials over.
Otherwise, even if he was willing to make the elixirs,
He feared that he would not be able to produce the new version of the Epiphyllum Elixir.
“The Da Feng Dynasty, endless strife…”
“The Wan Dan Sect, likewise…”
“I just want to practice alchemy, earn some Spirit Stones to spend, why is it so difficult?”
In the courtyard, beneath the Stone Pavilion.
After drinking the cold tea in his hand, Luo Changfeng couldn’t help but sigh silently to himself.
He indeed had the Yellow Grade lower tier Beast Fire, the Black Crow Flame.
But aside from the Black Crow Flame, the internal inventory list of the Wan Dan Sect still had many desirable items that required Spirit Stones to purchase.
Never mind the rest, just the storage ring with more space and better stability,
Luo Changfeng had been coveting it for a long time already.
