Chapter 391: Chapter 391 Cooperation

Listening to this uniform voice, the new students were almost dumbfounded.

Especially Lin Xiaodu and the others.

Hadn’t Ling Chen just joined the Academy not long ago?

How could he command so many senior students?

"Just now, those who made a move on them, Ling Gang Leader has spoken, hurry up and return the stolen cultivation resources to them!"

The leaders of the various sects hastily said.

"Yes."

Many students who had taken part were ready to hand over the plundered cultivation resources.

"Ling Gang Leader?"

The new students were more bewildered.

In a blink of an eye, had Ling Chen actually become the leader of a major faction in True Martial Academy?

"No need."

Ling Chen looked at the crowd and indifferently said, "What you are doing complies with the rules of the Academy."

"Because I come from the Eight Great Academies, and these people are students of the Eight Great Academies, so today I will cover for them."

"However, after today, whatever you do to them, I won’t object. Just one thing, don’t mess with the people of Reincarnation."

"Yes, yes, yes."

The leaders of the major factions hastily responded.

They also breathed a sigh of relief.

They had acted this way earlier for fear of Ling Chen causing them trouble!

Even a Seventh Layer Primordial Pill Realm expert from the Star List was no match for Ling Chen; how could they dare to act rashly in front of him?

"Alright, continue!"

Ling Chen looked at the several leaders.

"Okay."

The several immediately nodded in response.

Ling Chen turned and looked at Lin Xiaodu and the others, pointing his finger a few times, saying, "Come with me for a moment."

"Yes."

Lin Xiaodu and the others immediately followed.

"Ling Gang Leader, can we join your Reincarnation?"

Some students who had once been from the Eight Great Academies looked at Ling Chen.

With just a word from Ling Chen, he made the people of the Eight Great Sects submissive. Clearly, the faction he belonged to was also very strong.

If they followed Ling Chen, along with their past experience in the Eight Great Academies, they might gain considerable benefits.

At the very least, they wouldn’t be bullied.

Hearing this, without turning his head, Ling Chen replied, "I’m sorry, everyone, my gang is too small to accommodate so many people."

These ordinary-ranked students wanted to join his Reincarnation, which was simply laughable.

After Ling Chen and his party left, some of the new students couldn’t help but ask, "Who exactly is this person, how did a mere Fourth Layer Primordial Pill Realm become a Gang Leader?"

Mu Chunlei of Purple Cloud said, "This person is named Ling Chen. He helped True Martial Academy win the championship in the Eight Palaces Martial Competition with his own power alone. Some days ago, he founded the gang Reincarnation."

"He founded a faction?"

The crowd couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

After entering the Academy, they also heard that in Star Academy, there were only the Eight Great Sects. Unexpectedly, this person, a mere Fourth Layer Primordial Pill Realm, actually founded a faction.

"Alright, you will naturally come to know his information in the future. However, some of you are indeed very clever, seeing Ling Gang Leader and wanting to cling to his powerful coattails. But alas! His Reincarnation doesn’t even regard the Star Faction’s geniuses."

Mu Chunlei said.

That day, many Star List students, quitting their sects, wanted to join Reincarnation, but alas, they were flatly refused.

"Even the Star Faction’s geniuses are looked down upon?"

The new students felt their brains couldn’t quite keep up.

The Star List was almost the pinnacle of glory that everyone sought to enter.

Yet, Ling Chen disdained even the Star List students.

This showed the immense difference in their level of stature.

"Alright, let’s continue!"

Mu Chunlei gave a slight smile.

The students from the Eight Great Academies, they wouldn’t dare to touch today. But the other students, they were completely fair game!

...

Bamboo Garden.

"Not bad."

Ling Chen nodded at Lin Xiaodu, quite satisfied.

His efforts had not been in vain after all.

"Master Ling praises too highly; it was all thanks to Young Master Zi and Lady Zi’s help that I could manage to enter the Jiangxing Academy."

Lin Xiaodu quickly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen looked towards Zi Lingyang and Zi Ling’er, saying, "Thank you both."

"Master Ling, you’re too kind; it was nothing at all."

Zi Lingyang and Zi Ling’er quickly replied.

"Well, I recently established a sect called Reincarnation; if you’re interested, you can join."

Ling Chen said with a smile.

"We would love to!"

Lin Xiaodu, Zi Lingyang, and Zi Ling’er simultaneously expressed.

Ling Chen’s mere words had prevented the senior students from targeting them; evidently, Ling Chen had significant power within the academy.

"Good."

Ling Chen nodded.

"Master Ling, may I join as well?"

Zhou Tiantang, who was on the side, asked.

Initially, he had planned to join the Wangxing Academy, but had chosen Jiangxing Academy for Ling Chen.

"Let’s put that matter aside for now."

Ling Chen smiled at Zhou Tiantang, "Young Master Zhou, come with me for a moment."

Inside the room.

"Young Master Zhou, how would you say Zhou Tian Trading compares to Purple Cloud Commerce?"

Ling Chen asked.

"We’re not as influential as Purple Cloud Commerce; after all, they have the Royal Family’s backing."

Zhou Tiantang honestly replied.

"What’s the most profitable aspect for your trading company?"

Ling Chen asked further.

Zhou Tiantang smiled and said, "Of course, it’s selling elixirs. Elixirs are consumables, and the majority of Great Xia Citizens are cultivators, so the demand is incredibly high."

Ling Chen nodded, "Then, specifically in terms of elixirs, how do you compare to Purple Cloud?"

"Quite a significant difference."

Zhou Tiantang gave a bitter smile, "Among elixirs, those that restore Spiritual Power sell best, followed by those used for healing. In both aspects, we’re far behind."

"If we take the Returning Essence Pill as an example. Our researched elixirs only achieve about 70% of Purple Cloud Commerce’s effect. Hence, we can only target the lower-end market, selling to Loose Cultivators. Pills like the Returning Essence Pill used by the Eight Great Families, Royal Family, and even the two major academies are all purchased from Purple Cloud Commerce."

"I see."

Ling Chen nodded and smiled, "Young Master Zhou, what if I told you I have a formula for a Returning Essence Pill that should be about twice as effective as the current market versions? How do you feel about that?"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tiantang suddenly stood up in shock.

Zhou Tian Trading had been researching Purple Cloud Commerce’s Returning Essence Pill for years, and to this day, the best they could make was about 80% as effective as the Purple Cloud Rejuvenation Pill.

And the costs were prohibitively high.

Impossible to mass produce.

"Young Master Zhou!"

Ling Chen smiled faintly, and with a flip of his right hand, a mid-grade Returning Essence Pill appeared before him.

This was from a batch that Gu Ce had reforged for him.

Upon meeting Zhou Tiantang before, Ling Chen had begun planning.

Now, it was finally time to begin.

For an elixir that restores Spiritual Power, there are two standards for measuring effectiveness.

One is the speed at which it restores Spiritual Power.

The other is the spiritual energy contained within the elixir.

Zhou Tiantang hastily took the Returning Essence Pill and scrutinized it carefully.

From its appearance and scent, one can also somewhat discern its quality.

"Indeed, it’s a top-quality Returning Essence Pill!"

Shortly after, Zhou Tiantang shouted out in incredible surprise.

Then, he quickly calmed down and looked at Ling Chen: "What are you suggesting, Master Ling?"

"Collaboration."

Ling Chen gave a slight smile, but his eyes had a hint of coldness.
