Chapter 158: Chapter 158: 104: The Luo Family’s Situation is Booming, Reform of the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect?_3

“`

He is now completely bound to the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect.

If the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect thrives, he benefits.

If the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect gradually declines,

his interests will also be damaged.

Therefore, they must resolve current problems like this as soon as possible.

“Fu Qiu, do you know what conditions other prefectures’ sub-sects are offering?”

“Why did those three core alchemists who originally belonged to our Luoshan Prefecture choose to join other prefectures’ sub-sects?”

After pondering for a moment, Fu Qiu responded in a low voice, “It seems that other sub-sects have directly increased a lot of offerings for alchemists as well as improved a lot of welfare benefits…”

Upon hearing this, Luo Changfeng silently nodded in agreement.

If that’s the case, indeed there’s little that can be done.

After all, people aspire to higher places, and water flows to lower ones.

If other Wan Dan Sect sub-sects offer better treatment and benefits, why not join them instead of staying with the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect?

“Fu Qiu, have you ever thought about implementing a series of reforms within our Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect?”

Fu Qiu slightly furrowed his brows, somewhat puzzled and questioned, “Reforms?”

Luo Changfeng nodded.

Meanwhile, he picked up a cup of cold tea from the table,

and brought it to his lips for a sip.

A slight smile appeared on his face as he spoke in a low voice, “Yes, reforms.”

“Have you ever thought about adjusting the profit-sharing ratio for elixir sales?”

This time, it seemed Fu Qiu understood.

But after listening to Luo Changfeng’s words,

he couldn’t help but look a bit helpless.

“Luo brother, although the Wan Dan Sect has numerous sub-sects, the Main Sect exercises very tight control over its branches,”

“To reach out and touch the profit-sharing ratio of the Main Sect,”

“that is almost an impossible task.”

Luo Changfeng shook his head, saying in a low voice, “No, I’m not talking about the Main Sect, but our Sub-sect’s twenty percent of the revenue…”

This left Fu Qiu a bit bewildered.

The Sub-sect takes away those twenty percent of the revenue

mainly because it needs to independently provide each alchemist with a monthly offering of Spirit Stones.

Now, Luo Changfeng suddenly proposed

to meddle with that twenty percent.

How could this revenue be tampered with?

If this portion of the revenue is touched, how will our Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect continue to pay the offerings for those alchemists?

If these revenues are compromised…

how can our Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect continue to develop sustainably?

“Luo brother, the twenty percent of the revenue… cannot be touched!”

Fu Qiu swallowed and spoke with a sense of resignation.

“No, I think it can be touched.”

Fu Qiu shook his head, almost as if he could turn it into a rattle drum, “No, Luo brother, that twenty percent of the revenue must not be moved…”

Luo Changfeng spoke with great conviction, “It can be moved.”

“The issue with Spirit Stones can be put aside for the moment.”

“But the problem of alchemists being poached by other sub-sects”

“we must deal with it quickly…”

“Otherwise, if the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect is left with nothing but an empty shell, what use is there in holding on to that twenty percent share of the profits?”

At this point, Fu Qiu also nodded, but his expression was still one of concern, “Luo brother makes some sense, but if we forgo that twenty percent elixir sales profit share, how will our Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect solve the issue of alchemists’ remuneration in the future?”

“Naturally, by opening up new channels to earn Spirit Stones…”

“Opening up entirely new channels for earning Spirit Stones?”

Luo Changfeng nodded silently, his expression quite calm as he said, “We can give up the share from elixir sales, but that doesn’t mean we can’t recoup it from other areas…”

It was then that Fu Qiu became somewhat interested.

He quietly looked at Luo Changfeng in front of him and asked excitedly, “Recoup it from where?”

Luo Changfeng replied softly, “For instance, the experience and insights of those high-level alchemists…”

Fu Qiu asked, “Luo brother, what do you mean?”

Luo Changfeng again took a sip from the cold tea in his hand, moistened his throat, and then continued, “We can keep our alchemy experience and insights, even buy the experience and insights of other alchemists with Spirit Stones, then place them in the Library Pavilion of the Sub-sect. If someone wants to browse, they would need to pay a certain amount of Spirit Stones as a fee.”

“Of course, not only in written form can we keep the alchemy experience and insights,

but we can also preserve the alchemy experience and insights in the form of images.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Qiu couldn’t help but raise another small doubt, “Luo brother, what exactly are these images?”

Luo Changfeng looked at Fu Qiu, who had raised the question in front of him.

He suddenly waved his hand and took out a squarely cut, somewhat grayish-white

object from his storage bag that seemed fairly ordinary at a glance.

“Fu Qiu may not know, but aside from alchemy, I happen to have a little knowledge in Artifact Refining.”

“This object is called a Memory Stone, a special type of Spiritual Artifact.”

“It’s a new type of Spiritual Artifact that I accidentally created while refining artifacts in my spare time.”

“By injecting a certain amount of Spiritual Power Value, you can activate this Memory Stone.”

“Then, everything you do in front of this Memory Stone will be recorded by it.”

“If you wish to view actions from before, you just need to inject a stream of Spiritual Power into this Memory Stone again.”

After hearing this, Fu Qiu was visibly astonished, “Luo brother, I had no idea that in addition to alchemy, you also practiced Artifact Refining?”

Luo Changfeng said, “Artifact Refining is not the focus, the focus is this Memory Stone…”
