Chapter 1065
“Uh… disciple is present . ”
Long Chen immediately had a bad feeling . It seemed the Tower Department Head’s voice wasn’t very happy .
“You’ve broken the sect’s rules multiple times, disturbed a class, and beaten up a teacher . Do you even place the Xuantian Dao Sect in your eyes?” The Tower Department Head’s voice was incredibly intimidating .
The Elder Hall’s people’s expressions became odd . For even the always emotionless Tower Department Head to now sound angry, Long Chen’s ability to cause anger was truly amazing .
“Tower Department Head, if you put it like this, I’ll have to disagree,” said Long Chen .
All the Elders present sucked in a cold gasp of air . That was the Tower Department Head, the figure who overlooked the entire Xuantian Dao Sect . He was a supreme existence, and his decisions could not be changed even by the sect leader, the Xuan Master .
Others might not be afraid of the Xuan Master, but they would definitely be afraid of the Tower Department Head . After seeing that Long Chen wanted to argue against him, everyone’s jaw dropped so low that you could stick an egg inside .
“You… you want to argue?” The Tower Department Head’s voice clearly contained some shock .
In all his years as the Tower Department Head, no one had dared to speak to him like that, so he wasn’t used to it .
“You said that I didn’t place the Xuantian Dao Sect in my eyes . I disagree . If I didn’t place it in my eyes, I wouldn’t have worked so hard to become a core disciple . You said that I broke the rules multiple times . I disagree with this as well . Each time I broke the rules, it was because someone else broke the rules first and I had to fight back . Am I supposed to just accept being beaten while others break the rules?
“I’m also a victim, because if it weren’t for others breaking the rules and provoking me first, there would be no reason for me to break the rules . If you want to punish someone, you should first punish them . If you punish them first, then I will accept any punishment . But if you only punish me while letting them get away with their crimes, disciple will not feel comfortable in his heart,” said Long Chen .
“Are you saying you feel wronged?” demanded the Tower Department Head coldly .
“I wouldn’t say that . I just hope that you can treat me fairly and not wrong an obedient disciple . ” Long Chen shrugged .
“You are an obedient disciple?” The Tower Department Head’s tone seemed to have changed slightly . It was like he was so infuriated that he wanted to laugh . But his voice quickly became cold once more . “Stop spouting nonsense . Although you might have been the one wronged at the beginning, the way you handled it was completely overboard . As the Dao Sect’s disciple, your conduct caused grave damage to the dignity of the sect . Even if you were right before, you’re wrong now . When you handle things in the future, you have to first consider the Xuantian Dao Sect’s dignity first, understood?”
“Disciple understands,” said Long Chen . Of course he didn’t dare to not understand .
“So, since you were wronged by others, and since it was just your way of handling things that was incorrect, and due to your attitude of admitting your errors, I can reduce your punishment . Starting today, you are demoted… demoted to… Well, you can just continue being a worker . This matter ends here . If anyone has any complaints, you can report them within the next three days . ”
The Tower Department Head had originally been thinking of giving Long Chen a small slap on the wrist, but Long Chen was already a worker . He had been demoted to the bottom and couldn’t be demoted again .
If he was demoted again, the only rank left was commoner . But a commoner was not a disciple of the Xuantian Dao Sect . That would be equivalent to expelling him from the sect, and that wouldn’t be a slap on the wrist .
After this result was announced, the Law Enforcement Hall Master and the Alchemy Pavilion Master both coldly left . This time, they had completely lost . The Elder Hall Master had beautifully made a fool out of them without giving them any power to resist .
Once they left, the Elder Hall Master smiled at Long Chen and also vanished .
Li Changfeng patted Long Chen on the shoulder before leaving . “Child, even if you feel bored, you should take it easy . ”
In just a short moment, all the experts left and Luo Bo was brought away . What awaited him was a miserable fate .
“Alright, brothers, starting today, the outer sect’s medicinal pills will be sold here . There’s no need for anyone to worry about not getting any, so take your time,” laughed Long Chen . Only then did everyone recover from their shock and continue lining up for medicine .
The disturbance caused by the Alchemy Pavilion ended up benefitting Long Chen’s business . That was related to his powerful charisma . They felt that such a figure would definitely only sell peak grade items and was worthy of trusting .
They sold the elixir for a whole day and night . Meanwhile, Long Chen refined more elixir as the day went on . It was like he was squeezing fruit juice, constantly having Huo Long refine more and more .
“Boss, we’re rich!” Within Long Chen’s hotel, Qian Duoduo held a dozen crystal cards as well as a list of their sales . He had practically gone crazy with joy .
“How much did we sell?” asked Long Chen .
“Guess . ”
“Stop talking nonsense and tell me . ”
“Hehe, we made thirty-eight million points . Heavens, I can’t believe it . Thirty-eight million points!” Qian Duoduo didn’t know what to say .
Although Long Chen had been prepared, hearing this number still shocked him . It was no wonder it was said that alchemy was the profession that made the most money in the world .
“Boss, how much did we get once we deduct the manufacturing costs?” asked Qian Duoduo suddenly . Once the manufacturing costs were out, just how much profit did they truly make?
Manufacturing costs? Those could be neglected . So the number of points they had gained was thirty-eight million, five hundred and twenty thousand .
Long Chen directly gave twenty thousand points to Qian Duoduo to give to Wang Mang and the others . One reason was for their work, and the other was for their starting bonus . They had put in quite a bit of work for this business .
“Boss, this is way too much . ” Twenty thousand points for a dozen people? Each person would get almost two thousand .
It had to be known that outer sect disciples would only get points if they worked all-out for a month . Two thousand points were twenty years’ worth of income .
“We don’t want untrustworthy people, and we don’t question the people we trust . There’s no need to worry about making them fat and having them get greedy . I’m good at judging people, so don’t worry about it . They’re outer sect disciples, so their potential is limited . Now that we’re all acquainted, if we can help them, we should do our best . We don’t want to have regrets in the future,” said Long Chen .
“I understand, boss . I’ll send them right away . ” Qian Duoduo couldn’t help but feel that this was why all those who followed Long Chen were so unswervingly loyal . This kind of generosity was something he was incapable of . He wasn’t willing to give away so many points to outsiders .
Thirty-eight million points split amongst thirteen thousand people meant that each person would get less than three thousand points .
As expected, without being the manager of the household, you wouldn’t realize just how precious each piece of rice and firewood was . He had thought that this profit would be able to make them fat, but as soon as he calculated it, he realized it wasn’t as amazing as he had thought .
Long Chen couldn’t help but sigh . However, when he thought about it, he felt like he was being too greedy . Hu Guishan’s Divine Beast Mansion had only gotten five million points for first place . He should know how to be content .
Qian Duoduo quickly returned, but Wang Mang and the others followed him, saying that they couldn’t accept this many points . Long Chen couldn’t be bothered to say anything to them, and he directly tossed them out .
Long Chen had Qian Duoduo return to Crouching Dragon Mountain . He was to give each disciple two thousand points, and they could do whatever they wanted with it . They could learn what techniques they needed, they could buy what weapons they wanted . Even if they wanted to go pick up girls, it was fine .
But Long Chen knew that no one in the Dragonblood Legion would do something like that . They were very dependable . The only possible exception was Guo Ran .
Once Qian Duoduo left, Long Chen’s mind returned to the primal chaos space . Huo Long’s eight split bodies had all turned scarlet like blood . Its powerful fluctuations shocked even Long Chen .
Huo Long coiled around Long Chen, sending him a message that it had absorbed ninety percent of Luo Bo’s Pill Flame . That had been extremely helpful to it, and it had instantly refined the remaining Scarlet Blood Flame’s essence .
Long Chen thought about it and quickly realized that Luo Bo’s Pill Flame was a merger of spiritual yuan and an Earth Flame . It was definitely an Earth Flame, but it had no life and its ranking was unknown . However, after being nourished by spiritual yuan for countless years, it had become a delicacy to Huo Long, and there were no side effects from absorbing it . It could be directly digested .
Now Huo Long was so strong that it made even Long Chen afraid . Huo Long’s terrifying potential allowed it to grow without limit .
Back then, the Eastern Wasteland Bell had looked down on it and had wanted Long Chen to switch to another Earth Flame and feed Huo Long to it . Even the Eastern Wasteland Bell had been wrong . It definitely would have never imagined that Huo Long had this much potential .
Even Huo Long’s Spiritual Strength had greatly improved . It could communicate with Long Chen without any hindrances .
Long Chen told Huo Long to help him refine Heavenly Star Sea Merging Pills when it had time . He wanted to get everyone to the peak of Sea Expansion as soon as possible .
The next day, Long Chen received some good news . Zheng Wenlong had sent people over, and Long Chen immediately went out to receive them .
Zheng Wenlong’s people had brought over a hundred kinds of materials to forge King items . They included essence metal, mithril, wind copper, blood tin, etc .
When Guo Ran saw those, he almost wept . Although there had been quite a few fragments of King items from when the Eastern Wasteland Bell had attacked, those fragments weren’t enough to refine true King items . This material completely resolved his most pressing issue .
Before leaving, those people told Long Chen that after a while, more materials would come successively .
Guo Ran also vanished like a wisp of smoke with those materials . He wanted to confirm some theories that he had learned .
The Dragonblood Legion was now sufficiently rich to go all-out cultivating . As for the Alchemy Pavilion and Law Enforcement Hall, in all likelihood, they would be forced to calm down for a while due to their failure this time .
Long Chen also gave himself a vacation from refining to raise his own cultivation base . The peak heavenly geniuses like Hu Guishan and Hua Shiyu had already reached the peak of Sea Expansion, and he couldn’t fall behind .
“I can’t stop eating medicine . ”
Long Chen grabbed a handful of Heavenly Star Sea Merging Pills and stuffed them in his mouth .
