Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood

"Temporary restrictions have been imposed on our sub-sect’s ability to purchase Black Crow Flame?"

"Alright then..."

After Luo Changfeng silently nodded,

he no longer spoke.

He just quietly held his teacup,

gazing into the distance while taking small sips of hot tea.

"Aside from this matter, there is another thing..."

A moment later, the old man Fu Qiu spoke up again.

Luo Changfeng then looked at Fu Qiu in front of him with some curiosity.

"That kid Luo Yang..."

As he spoke, Fu Qiu couldn’t help but pause for a moment.

"What happened?"

After taking another sip of hot tea, Luo Changfeng seemed to ask with an air of nonchalance.

"That kid’s research seems to have entered a whole new phase."

"In his own words..."

"At the shortest, six months, and at most two to three years, he could be successful."

Fu Qiu spoke softly.

And upon hearing these words,

Luo Changfeng slightly bowed his head, seeming to fall into silence.

"In addition to the Yang-strengthening Elixir, that kid Luo Yang has also made some achievements in his research on other elixirs."

"Spirit Pills below the Yellow Grade, he can basically refine them successfully now..."

Seeing Luo Changfeng’s face looking somewhat strange,

Fu Qiu added this statement on the side.

After hearing Fu Qiu’s words, Luo Changfeng’s expression then eased somewhat.

The Yang-strengthening Elixir, if researched,

indeed presented a lucrative opportunity.

But to research such a thing, if you do it secretly, no one would fault you.

However, to research it openly,

and even do so in front of the old man Fu Qiu and in the presence of the people from the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect, what was that all about?

It was truly embarrassingly shameful.

...

"How is the situation within the Wan Dan Sect sub-sects of the Da Feng Dynasty now?"

Within the small courtyard,

underneath the Stone Pavilion,

Luo Changfeng fell silent for a short while before he spoke up again to inquire.

"After recent developments, two more sub-sects have chosen to merge with our Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect, greatly enhancing our combined strength... n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"As for the other sub-sects, some have chosen to support us and are now in retirement, while those that initially sided with the wrong team..."

"As for their current state, their dissolution as sub-sects is not far off."

Fu Qiu spoke calmly.

This wasn’t because he was too cruel or excessive.

The world has always been like this.

It was not about avoiding competition to live peacefully with others.

There’s only so much resource within the Da Feng Dynasty.

And the number of alchemists is limited as well.

If the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect wanted to grow and become more powerful, it could not avoid absorbing the strength of other sub-sects.

Nor could it avoid stepping over the corpses of other sub-sects to climb upward.

"Is that so?"

Luo Changfeng silently nodded in acknowledgement, and then he asked Fu Qiu in a low voice, "How is the Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect faring now?"

As this question was raised,

Fu Qiu fell into silence.

"Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect..."

As he continued, Fu Qiu’s face revealed a trace of puzzlement and confusion: "The decline of the Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect has far exceeded my expectations. Not only has Sect Master Nangong Ming of Changqing Prefecture suddenly disappeared, but even Deputy Sect Master Zhuang Hong vanished some time ago.

Without their Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master, the decline of Changqing Prefecture has become utterly unstoppable..."

Luo Changfeng frowned slightly: "Both disappeared?"

Where could the Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master of Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect have gone?

The Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect was located within Changqing Prefecture itself.

All of its accumulation was within Changqing Prefecture.

And now, the Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master of Changqing Prefecture had vanished from Fu Qiu’s view.

This was indeed a very strange occurrence.

"Let them disappear if they want..."

Luo Changfeng murmured softly,

and then he no longer dwelled on the matter.

The competition between the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect and Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect had already been decided.

The victor was the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect.

The loser was Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect.

Even if the Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master of Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect were still around,

the decline of Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect was inevitable.

Now it was just a matter of how quickly it would happen.

So why bother getting too caught up in it?

"What about the situation of those Wan Dan Sect sub-sects outside the Da Feng Dynasty?"

After some thought,

Luo Changfeng asked again.

If the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect had undergone systemic reforms,

and their sub-sects within the Da Feng Dynasty had already competed to this extent,

then those sub-sects outside were likely not faring much better.

"Brother Luo, compared to the competition among those sub-sects outside, the competition within our Da Feng Dynasty is somewhat milder..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Changfeng’s interest was piqued: "Oh? How so?"

Fu Qiu silently stroked the long white beard on his chin.

Then, he picked up a cup of hot tea from the stone table.

After drinking the hot tea in one gulp,

he began to speak in a low voice.

"In most places, the competition has been acceptable, but in some places, sub-sects have even resorted to killing alchemists from rival sub-sects in order to gain an advantage..."

As Fu Qiu voiced this,

Luo Changfeng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

The Main Sect of Wan Dan Sect didn’t overly intervene in the competition between its sub-sects,

but lifting a hand against a fellow Wan Dan Sect alchemist was an absolute taboo within the sect.

Once crossed, it meant certain death.

There would be no chance of survival.
