Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

After Chu Feng's Longevity Hall made money, he took the second step to prepare for expansion.

This was an inevitable step.

To make big money, there must be a large number of Pill Masters.

Chu Feng had grand ambitions to turn Longevity Hall into the biggest elixir powerhouse in this realm, possessing the most Pill Masters, the most clients, and the best reputation.

By then, all the Alchemy Dao geniuses would vie with each other to enter Longevity Hall.

This model was also inspired by the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion.

With Chu Feng, a top Alchemy Venerate overseeing it, then training several disciples like Chen Dazhong. These disciples would then teach their own, layer by layer maintaining control.

This was a very advanced talent nurturing model.

Even if there were really traitors, for Chu Feng, the loss could totally be acceptable. Moreover, wanting to climb higher in Longevity Hall and to enhance their alchemy prowess, the disciples must continuously contribute to Longevity Hall's alchemy.

This means, to receive higher-level alchemy guidance, one needs to contribute more to Longevity Hall.

Not only do they need to produce a large amount of elixirs for sale, they are also expected to bring up a great number of disciples.

Chu Feng also employed this business model combined with alchemy skills, drawing from the failures of his previous life.

Everyone being tied to the same carriage of interests, the chance of having traitors is likely much lower than those evil disciples from his previous life.

In his previous life, Chu Feng had truly failed.

He mentored so many disciples, yet only Chen Dazhong remained loyal to him.

It was truly a painful lesson.

This time, Chu Feng was determined to establish his own Empire's Elixir Store.

He spoke with Li Shishi for a long while. When Li Shishi handed over the last month's store profits to Chu Feng, there was indeed a little surprise. He hadn't expected the monthly net profits to now stabilize at over a million silver taels.

With these silver taels, Chu Feng planned to save a portion and also buy the shop space next to Longevity Hall.

After all, the current shop of Longevity Hall was already unable to meet the demand.

Li Shishi handed this month's high-grade elixir orders to Chu Feng.

"Oh, by the way! When will Master visit the Vermilion Bird Imperial City? One of the Eight Virtuous Princes personally visited the store twice, wishing to meet you," Li Shishi recalled something.

"Not likely soon, I have just been promoted to Mountain Master recently, and there are still many things that need to be done here. Just wait a while longer!" Chu Feng thought for a moment and then spoke.

These days, his main focus was on cultivating the Mixed Element Unlimited Skill.

With cash not being a concern, he still needs to find a way to improve his strength as soon as possible, aiming to bring Han Xiaoying out early.

Watching Li Shishi leave, Chu Feng's gaze lingered for a long time, his heart harboring a hint of reluctance.

The separation now, is for the reunion of another day.

After Chu Feng has accomplished his cultivation, he believes he can reunite with Li Shishi.

...

When Chu Feng was returning, he passes by Mao Wu, who looked like a thief, burying his head in his chest, simply not daring to look at Chu Feng.

"Rascal, this is Mountain Master Chu! Our Outer Sect's most promising talent to enter the Inner Sect!"

"When you see him next time, don't act like a shy young lady, remember to salute and greet! Understand?"

The team leader ran over and scolded Mao Wu profusely.

He didn't dare to act physically though.

After all, Mao Wu had a One-star Sword God Cultivation, and if really provoked, fighting for his life could be terrifying.

Chu Feng calculated all the way, how much time is needed to prepare the elixirs for clients next month?

These matters must be handled by him personally; he cannot let others act in his stead.

"Zhang the Third, I heard you've advanced to the Sword God Realm, are you preparing to compete for a spot on the Earth Rankings of the Outer Sect?"

"Hehe, of course! Being on the Earth Rankings is not only a great honor, but it also brings prestige wherever one goes, as well as numerous benefits from the sect."

Two stewards of the Outer Sect were passing by Chu Feng, discussing the Earth Rankings.

Although setting up two ranking lists for sect disciples to compete and duel might seem old-fashioned, it is extremely useful and helps the upper echelons of the sect to select the most outstanding disciples for focused grooming.

Chu Feng had some understanding of both the Earth and Heavenly Rankings.

The Earth Rankings are mainly competed for by those below the Three-star Sword God cultivation. As long as you have the strength, even with the cultivation of a Sword Master, you can ascend the stage and fight. However, the competition is fierce, and both Inner and Outer Sect disciples can participate.

Those who can enter the Inner Sect are considered Heavenly Prides, and they also have a greater chance of obtaining cultivation techniques.

This results in their stronger abilities.

Thus, most of those listed on the Earth Rankings are essentially Inner Sect disciples.

Only a few exceptionally strong Outer Sect disciples have the capability to squeeze into the Earth Rankings.

The Heavenly Rankings are even more formidable.

It is a list contended by those above the Three-star Sword God cultivation.

Those who make it onto the Heavenly Rankings can truly walk sideways within the sect. Each one is an unprecedented devilish genius.

"I heard that making it onto the Earth Rankings grants the qualification to enter many forbidden areas of the Inner Sect to cultivate. My Heaven and Earth Sword Skill has been progressing too slowly with diligent practice in a normal environment. If I can enter the Gui Xu Secret Realm to cultivate, I will surely improve rapidly."

Chu Feng has now advanced to the Sword Saint Realm.

He is very eager to condense his own Sword Soul.

Only by mastering the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill up to the Ninth level is it possible to condense his own Sword Soul. There's still a long road ahead.

On this journey, most of what Chu Feng heard was discussions about the battles for the two rankings.

In the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, the battle for the two rankings is a major event.

It's like the imperial examinations in a feudal society.

Only with a nomination from the golden list can one stand out.

After all, across the entire sect, there are a million disciples. Core resources are always only available to a small elite group of Heavenly Prides.

When Chu Feng returned to his Medicine Mountain, he did not expect that people from the Dan State Branch had all come.

Some of them were not from Chu Feng's Medicine Mountain.

Such as Pu Li, Elder Shoumei, and others.

"Disciple Chu Feng, greets Master! Greetings to the Sect Master, and the two Supreme Elders!" Chu Feng stepped forward to salute them.

Elder Zhuang and the others looked at Chu Feng with complicated expressions.

They did not expect that just over a year's time, Chu Feng would have undergone a radical transformation, rising from a previously insignificant figure to become a Mountain Master of the Main Pulse.

And in the near future, he might very well enter the Inner Sect.

These Elders, who once looked down upon and suppressed Chu Feng, could now only look up to him.

"Sect Master, what has happened?" Chu Feng asked with some confusion.

Why were all these people gathered at his Mountain Master Hall?

"Indeed, something has happened. My son, Pu Fazheng, has caused a great calamity!" Pu Li's expression was extremely grim, full of worry, and his brows were furrowed deeply.

"Sect Master, don't worry, please tell us slowly!" Chu Feng hurriedly invited everyone into the main hall to sit down according to their status. Pu Fazheng had greatly indebted Chu Feng, and had always been very upright in his behavior.

Now facing a great disaster, Chu Feng would absolutely not sit idly by.
