Seven of the nine elders of the Lu family looked relaxed, and even the eldest elder showed a rare smile.
The second elder, Lu Zhengning, saw the strange atmosphere and was wondering.
The fourth elder next to him was full of bitterness and hatred, accusing Lu Chen of his crimes, revealing that Lu Chen had stolen many pills from the alchemy hall, and demanding that Lu Chen be severely punished!
"Lu Chen stole the middle-grade body refining pill from the alchemy hall?"
The elders were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
"Why, the elders don't believe me?"
The fourth elder said angrily.
"Fourth Elder, you have been staying in the internal affairs room for the past two days. There are things outside that you don't know yet."
Lu Zhengning glanced at the fourth elder with a strange expression and said angrily, "Lu Chen, I fought with Zhou Hong in the alchemy hall and won a hundred middle-grade body refining pills."
"ah!"
As soon as the fourth elder arrived, his face felt hot, as if he had been slapped.
Then, the fourth elder said unwillingly, "Then he shouldn't take these pills and go to the inner affairs room to cause trouble and lure the clan members not to receive their monthly salary."
"Lu Chen's influence on the normal work of the internal affairs room is indeed excessive and should be punished!"
Lu Zhengning didn't even think twice and directly supported the fourth elder.
"Lu Chen gave all the pills he won to his own family and didn't give them to outsiders. How could he go too far?"
The elder spoke first and said slowly, "This kind of behavior is beneficial to the Lu family and should be praised."
"What the Great Elder said is absolutely true. As the saying goes, good things don't go to outsiders. One hundred middle-grade body refining pills all fell into the hands of our disciples. I don't know how many disciples have improved their cultivation as a result. It is our Lu family who will always benefit.
"
"Lu Chen is also in the body-refining realm now. The middle-grade body-refining pills are of great benefit to him, but he doesn't use them himself. He gives them all to his clan and contributes to the prosperity of the clan. This is called sacrificing oneself for others and having a spirit of great sacrifice!"
"The potency of the middle-grade body-refining pill is many times that of the low-grade body-refining pill, and the price is also many times more expensive. How can ordinary people afford it? If it were me, I would rather not have a few months of monthly salary to have a middle-grade pill.
Body refining pill."
"Did Lu Chen's distribution of elixirs cause any loss to the Internal Affairs Office? Many people did not receive their monthly salary, and the Internal Affairs Office also saved a lot of money. It's okay if you don't praise Lu Chen, but you also punish him. I really don't know what you are doing.
What heart?"
Other elders also expressed their opinions one after another, either in favor of the elder or in praising Lu Chen.
Anyway, no one supported the fourth elder’s proposal.
"Fourth Elder, there are rumors in the family about your monthly salary in Kaluchen. Is it true?"
Suddenly, the great elder asked coldly, with a somewhat unkind tone.
"No, there is no such thing. It must be a rumor."
The fourth elder quickly denied it, feeling a little weak and unable to understand the situation.
What day is today?
So many elders suddenly sided with Lu Chen, what happened?
Usually, these guys are not so enthusiastic about Lu Chen.
Why, they all took the wrong medicine?
The fourth elder felt a lot of pressure and quickly looked at Lu Zhengning asking for help.
Lu Zhengning didn't react at all, but fell into confused contemplation.
"There is no best, otherwise I will never stand idly by."
The great elder spoke firmly, then waved his hand and announced that the meeting was adjourned and that the matter would be dropped.
Looking at the backs of the six elders who walked briskly, the great elder's eyes narrowed.
I heard that Lu Chen fought for elixirs in the alchemy hall and refined nine high-grade true essence elixirs.
That’s good stuff!
That kid Lu Chen knows how to win people's hearts. He can give one to me, but can't he give it to other elders?
The great elder, this old man, guessed absolutely right!
Lu Chen gave pills to the other six elders, one for each of them.
Those elders' favorable impression of Lu Chen suddenly reached its peak, otherwise why would they support Lu Chen one after another?
Spreading large amounts of elixirs and dispersing wealth has won the hearts of the people and has immediate results.
Now, Lu Chen is no longer alone and helpless, but has many supporters, and his power will definitely crush Lu Zhengning!
At this time, Lu Chen was in the alchemy hall.
The person who received Lu Chen was naturally the owner himself, and no one else had this qualification.
"Exchange some money."
Lu Chen didn't show any pretense and directly took out the remaining two high-grade True Essence Pills.
"The top-grade True Essence Pill is a rare pill in Shuangmu City. If the pill shop sells it, it will be priced at 10,000 silver coins, which is not affordable for ordinary people."
Chen Yuanliang first explained it to Lu Chen, and then said the topic, "If the alchemy hall purchases it, it will only be at a 50% discount on the market price. I hope Master Lu will understand."
"No problem, just 50% off."
Lu Chen nodded, knowing that this was a business rule and that the alchemy shop was also in business.
Chen Yuanliang quickly brought two banknotes, each with a face value of 5,000 silver coins, which could be cashed at any bank.
"I want to buy a thousand ingredients for the Body Refining Pill. How much do you think it will cost?"
Lu Chen took the banknote and asked again.
"The medicinal materials are valuable in the eyes of outsiders, but in my eyes they are just that. Master Lu can just take them."
Chen Yuanliang waved his hand and immediately ordered people to get the medicinal materials.
Purchasing elixirs was a business rule, and Chen Yuanliang did not dare to violate it.
However, medicinal materials can be given away, and Chen Yuanliang is not short of money.
Lu Chen is an alchemy cultivator at the level of Alchemy King. Chen Yuanliang is too late to flatter him, so why is he willing to accept money for medicinal materials?
Not to mention a thousand copies of medicinal materials, even ten thousand or one hundred thousand copies, Chen Yuanliang would be happy to give them away.
Not long after, several Danshi came over, one of them was holding a large bag of medicinal materials.
"Master Lu, your medicinal materials are here."
"Master Lu, we have sorted a thousand ingredients for the Body Refining Pill one by one."
The alchemists handed over the medicinal materials respectfully.
Originally, it was several alchemists who took the medicinal materials, but they were replaced by these alchemists midway.
Just kidding, Lu Chen can refine a furnace of nine elixirs, all of which are top-grade True Yuan elixirs. I don’t know how advanced his elixir skills are.
Now, even the owner of the museum is showing courtesy to Lu Chen, how can they miss the opportunity?
Even if you show your face in front of Lu Chen, that's fine.
"Thank you very much."
Lu Chen didn't put on any airs, just thanked him, and the Danshis left happily.
"By the way, do the alchemy halls have spiritual stones for sale?"
Lu Chen turned to ask Chen Yuanliang.
"No, only the royal family of the capital has them."
Chen Yuanliang shook his head. Spiritual stones were a rare resource in the Yongming Dynasty. They had always been monopolized by the royal family and were difficult for outsiders to buy.
Lu Chen was quite disappointed. If he had a small piece of spiritual stone, he could make a furnace of high-grade spiritual energy pills.
With high-grade spiritual energy pills, it is not easy to break through the True Yuan realm.
"However, if you don't need much, there is a way to get one."
Chen Yuanliang suddenly came closer and whispered.
"real?"
Lu Chen's eyes lit up.
"Really, it's just that the connection is in Dengzhou. I have to go there in person. It will take some time to go back and forth."
"Then I'll spare you the trouble. I'll pay you then."
"Hey, talking about money hurts feelings. It's my honor, Chen Yuanliang, to do something for you."
"If you can come back before the admissions ceremony, I will give you a gift to help you go further on the alchemy path."
Lu Chen thought for a while and said seriously.
"I will go to Dengzhou immediately and promise to be back before the admissions ceremony."
Chen Yuanliang was surprised and happy. As an alchemist, he had been stuck at the first level for too long. If Lu Chen could help him advance to the second level, he would be grateful.
Next, Lu Chen only did two things.
He stayed in his room during the day to refine elixirs.
At night, he sneaked to the back mountain to practice his fighting skills.
When a thousand medicinal materials were refined, the Yanyang Finger was refined to the extreme, and its strength increased even more.
However, the Young Master Selection Tournament has also arrived.
The entire Lu family gathered at the martial arts training ground, and a young master was destined to be chosen today!
