Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 761: Chapter 314: Spirit Beetle, Gentle Township, Hero Tomb_3

”Let me calculate it for you!”

”Wei Bufan from Xuchen Mountain came first, giving you a thousand-year-old ginseng, full of tens of thousands of roots, the longest of which is over half a meter!”

”Just this one, could sell for around seven to eight thousand Spirit Stones!”

”There’s more, there’s more!”

”Zuo Song, the head of the Iron Sword Hall, gave a piece of Iron Essence. Duan Feng identified it as a Rank Three mineral material, a useful item for crafting Magic Items, and quite valuable!”

”Qiao Xiyue from Peach Mountain gave you the Cloud Stream Sleeve, which is quite unique and suitable for Female Cultivators.”

”But the most valuable gift comes from True Disciple Dan Tai, whose three gifts stunned everyone. During the business dealings today, many hinted that they wanted to view the Core Formation Secret Art. But I said that it’s a one-time use item, certainly with restrictions. Since it was given to you, I dared not get involved. Only then did they abandon any improper thoughts.”

”Actually, the other things are also quite good.”

”For example...”

Perhaps it was because the event was so grand and there were so many attendees.

Sima Huiniang maintained the composure of a True Cultivator for too long.

Now that there were no outsiders, she relaxed all at once.

As she tallied the numerous gifts, she chattered enthusiastically.

To Luo Chen’s eyes, this scene was reminiscent of a married couple not sleeping after their wedding, instead staying up late to calculate the monetary gifts they received.

How much money did this family give?

How much did that family give?

Their relationships and obligations, how much should we gift back when it’s their turn to hold a ceremony?

The little calculations of daily life, tolling like a cash register.

The situation was probably like this.

Luo Chen shook his head fiercely, a strange feeling!

He took a sip of Taibai Liquor, letting the fiery liquid moisten his throat and cleanse his Sea of Qi.

Noticing his empty glass, Sima Huiniang paused her tallying and poured him another drink with perfect timing.

As she lowered her head, her elegant neck revealed a dazzling, fair complexion.

Luo Chen averted his gaze, politely refraining from staring.

Sima Huiniang raised her head, and said: ”Such numerous gifts, I can’t possibly use them all. President, I’ll give you...”

”No, since they were given to you, you should keep them!”

Luo Chen shook his head, ”As the President, it’s not possible to always exercise authority. Keep these items. When you come across subordinates with exceptional performance, you’ll have something worthwhile to reward them.”

Maintaining a balance of kindness and authority is the key to longevity!

In the past, Sima Huiniang’s lack of status required her to strictly exert her authority.

But now, with her increased capabilities to manage overall matters, a balance of both soft and hard approaches is undoubtedly better.”

Sima Huiniang blinked her eyes, seeming to agree.

However, the thought of the plethora of items, probably worth over a hundred thousand, still made her feel apprehensive.

”But...”

Seeing her about to refuse again, Luo Chen promptly changed the topic.

”Of all these gifts, which one do you like best?”

Faced with this question, she had no hesitation.

Almost immediately.

”This one!”

She pointed at the Taoist robe on her chest as pure and white as snow, which fit her perfectly.

Following her direction, Luo Chen was momentarily speechless.

It was the Foundation Establishment gift he gave her.

When he didn’t speak, Sima Huiniang, for some reason, didn’t speak either.

The atmosphere in the hall gradually grew peculiar.

A mysterious feeling of romantic tension seemed to propagate with the man’s liquor scent and the woman’s intoxicating fragrance, gradually enveloping them.

Luo Chen, who routinely practiced Ming God’s Divine Cleanse, had an extremely firm will.

He noticed the changes.

Immediately, he sat up straight, ready to stand.

”It’s late, I should...”

The moment she saw him rising, Sima Huiniang intuitively flung herself into his arms.

”President, don’t leave.”

Her quietly murmured voice, accompanying a warm fragrance, surged into his nostrils.

Luo Chen opened his mouth, his hands frozen mid-air, and finally let out a sigh.

”You’re drunk.”

Sima Huiniang raised her head from his chest, her gleaming eyes shining like stars.

”But I didn’t drink.”

Indeed.

The person drinking was Luo Chen, not her.

Yes, she was drunk, but not from alcohol.

The once struggling Rogue Cultivator who lived day by day, uncertain of her future, had now experienced a grand ceremony.

A ceremonial Rainbow Bridge to celebrate immortality, with cultivators from all corners coming to congratulate her!

And all of this was gifted to her by the man in front of her.

Even her life was granted by him!

”President, I’m very happy today.”

”I want to conclude it with an even happier event.”

Her fair cheeks gradually turned a bashful red.

The makeup she had carefully applied for the ceremony made her look stunningly beautiful in the tender atmosphere.

Gulp!

A clearly audible swallowing noise resonated in the room.

Although Luo Chen could suppress the effect of the alcohol through cultivation, at this moment, he chose to let it be.

Today, he was not in a good mood!

There was no resistance or hesitation.

As he wrapped his arms around her, Luo Chen found himself leaning in for a kiss.
