Immortal cultivation is not just about fighting and killing.
Your realm is the foundation of everything.
The Broken Mountain Gang was initially formed for rogue cultivators to seek resources for their cultivation.
The death matches on the Dao Debate Platform may seem glamorous, but how many of the eighteen participants willingly joined the fray?
I’m afraid the number wouldn’t exceed one hand.
Especially for those like Han Dang, Heart Eating Tiger who’s reached the Qi Refinement Finalization, and Jiang Dragon Gao Tingyuan who have hopes of achieving the Foundation Establishment.
One died, the other injured rending them incapable of witnessing the more splendid scenery in the journey of The Great Dao Path.
If they are given the choice again, they would certainly reject it without any hesitation.
However, that is if they had the option to refuse.
Resting above their heads were the two Foundation Establishers, Mi Shuhua and Wang Haichao.
Why did these two people go through such trouble, from recruiting manpower to bestowing top-grade magic tools, all in an effort to win the battle to death? Is it not for their interests?
Those benefits are essentially for their own cultivation.
In some ways, this death match is also a struggle for the path of The Great Dao Path between them.
They simply chose to use their subordinates rather than fight for themselves.
Luo Chen has now officially joined the Broken Mountain Gang.
Of course, he didn’t come for the sake of fighting and killing.
He wishes to lean on a big tree and focus on his cultivation.
But while leaning on a big tree, he must choose his position wisely, so as not to be treated as cannon fodder.
Therefore, after learning about the situation of the Broken Mountain Gang, he had already made a decision in his heart.
At late night, Wang Yuan came to visit Luo Chen who barely finished cultivating, with a peaceful expression.
Looking at Luo Chen, who had just finished cultivating and his breath gradually stabilizing, he nodded approvingly.
“Fifth Level Qi Refinement Stage, it seems you have not neglected the fundamental cultivation technique.”
Luo Chen smiled gently.
Wang Yuan sighed, a trace of envy appeared in his eyes when he looked at Luo Chen.
“Brother Wang, what’s the matter?”
Luo Chen couldn’t figure out what he was thinking. Didn’t they win today?
Not only did they gain fame in front of tens of thousands of spectators, but they also left their names on the Sky Pride List.
Perhaps on the Dao Debate Platforms in other parts of the Yu Ding Realm, people would take notice of him.
Moreover, he had also inherited the wealth of that blood dao cultivator, which was quite a fortune.
After returning, based on their contributions and rewards, his merits were on par with Qin Liangchen, and he might have even obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Could it be?
Did the Gang Leader Mi Shuhua not give him the Foundation Establishment Pill, but instead, gave it to Big Brother Qin?
All of a sudden, Luo Chen’s mind was turning, and he thought of many possibilities.
Wang Yuan walked out of the room and came into the courtyard.
“After this battle, the Broken Mountain Gang reaped considerable rewards. We have solidified our position as the number one gang in The Great River District, and we have also started to dip our hands into the businesses along Lancang River. The development of the Broken Mountain Gang will only get better.” “Hmm”
This was expected, Wang Yuan didn’t need to say it for Luo Chen to understand.
“But we also suffered significant losses. The deaths of Heart Eating Tiger, Yue Jianhu, and Feng Linhu have left three power vacuums in the Seven Tigers Hall.”
“The death of Xu Renke left me as the only protector below the Foundation Establishment Stage. The top combat power of the Broken Mountain Gang has also reduced.”
Luo Chen nodded, he was aware of this point indeed.
Indeed there were losses, but for Wang Yuan personally, shouldn’t his status have been elevated instead?
In the future, his treatment would presumably get even better.
Wang Yuan continued: “Tonight, Gang Leader Mi held a meeting and established a new charter. Zeng Wen has returned to the Seven Tigers Hall, forming the Fighting Three Halls with Downhill Tiger Luo Wudi, and Long Panhu Yang Wei.”
“Murong Qinglian has been appointed as the master of the Medicine Hall.”
“Ke Yuelin has been appointed as the master of the Beast Hall.”
“Mi Junping, the daughter of the Gang Leader Mi, has been appointed as the master of the Merits Hall and being responsible for personnel and merit-related matters.”
“The master of the Mining Hall has not been decided yet. Over the next five days, internal martial arts competition will be held to select the new Hall Master.”
“The position of protectors has been abolished, and four Great Elder positions have been added. I, Qin Liangchen, Luo Wudi along with a respected elder of the gang are chosen as the four Great Elders.” freew(e)bnovel
A heap of personnel changes came out of Wang Yuan’s mouth, he didn’t avoid discussing them with Luo Chen.
Luo Chen quietly listened, nodding from time to time.
The ones who gained the most from this battle seem to be Big Brother Qin and his wife now.
Originally, they were only minor traders within the gang, but now one has become the masters of the Medicine Hall, and the other has become a Great Elder.
But this must have been initiated by themselves.
Now their son, Qin Xiaohu, has joined a Great Sect for cultivation.
It is said that the competition within the Great Sect is very intense, if his family can provide some resources, Xiaohu would also have some advantages among his peers.
He might stand out, become an Inner Sect disciple, or even a Luo Yun Sect True Disciple, it’s not impossible.
The couple is really striving for their son!
Zeng Wen, a regular customer, returning to the Seven Tigers Hall was something Luo Chen hadn’t anticipated.
Isn’t that fellow only motivated to take action when he’s short of Spirit Stones?
Has he decided to get his act together now?
Mi Junping?
Mi Shuhua’s daughter?
Now involved with the Merits Hall, it appears that after this battle, Mi Shuhua’s control over the Broken Mountain Gang has deepened even further. The position of Mining Hall Master that was released is intended to placate the dissatisfied gang members.
However, an elder?
Luo Chen was surprised: “The position of Chief Protector has been abolished, so Brother Wang, doesn’t that mean your status has actually dropped?”
Wang Yuan nodded, then shook his head.
“I don’t care about this, what I care about is something else.”
“What is it?”
“The gang leader asked me to form a team to take over the Lancang River route handed over by the Great Lake Gang. It’s a waterway to Taishan District.”
Luo Chen blinked.
What is this all about?
First the status is cut, then a respectful title of Elder is added, finally providing him with some real powers and control over a new team.
For a moment, Luo Chen began to doubt gang leader Mi Shuhua’s various appointments.
Was it because he really trusted Wang Yuan’s abilities, or did he want to shift him away from the power center of the Broken Mountain Gang by assigning him to the unfamiliar river transportation business?
Suddenly, Luo Chen thought of a crucial point.
“Brother Wang, who did the gang leader give the Foundation Establishment Pill to?”
“In name, it was given to Qin Liangchen, after all, I’m at the Eighth Level Qi Refinement, and he’s at the Ninth Level Qi Refinement. His contributions to this battle were no less than mine.”
“What do you mean ‘in name’?”
“Qin Liangchen lost an arm in the battle. Although the Yu Ding Sword Sect promised to attach a new one, it’s uncertain whether the new arm can integrate with his original body. Moreover, we don’t know if this will affect his Foundation Establishment.”
Wang Yuan’s eyes were deep, “So the gang leader said he would give it to Qin Liangchen after he finalized his Qi Refinement. As for now, he’s worried that people might have malicious intentions, so he is temporarily holding onto the Foundation Establishment Pill for Qin Liangchen.”
Luo Chen frowned.
After all the fuss, the Foundation Establishment Pill wasn’t even awarded yet!
And with this maneuver, outsiders can’t criticize it.
Mi Shuhua is simply holding on to it to prevent others from coveting it, and he will still give it to Qin Liangchen once his cultivation realm is finalized.
But as time changes, whether his new arm would affect his cultivation, and if he would give it to him as promised, who knows for sure?
Catching a glimpse of Wang Yuan’s deep eyes, Luo Chen suddenly understood what Wang Yuan meant by “caring about something else.”
Mi Shuhua doesn’t seem to be the same as before!
Or rather, he has never been different, just good at disguising it.
“Do you know why I wanted you to join the Broken Mountain Gang this time?”
The topic suddenly switched.
Luo Chen was slightly caught off guard, but after some thought, he said: “Brother Wang, you need a hand? My cultivation level is also barely worth a look? We know each other well, so you want me to come in and help you.” “Hmm”
Wang Yuan nodded slightly, then added another sentence.
“There’s also the fact that Gao Tingyuan’s Dantian is damaged, his Sea of Qi is broken, and he has no hope of Foundation Establishment. He might become desperate and seek revenge for his brother by targeting you.”
“Joining the Broken Mountain Gang may deter him somewhat.”
Luo Chen opened his mouth, his eyes flickering.
With his initial insight, he hadn’t seen this coming.
Thinking carefully, if he were in Gao Tingyuan’s position, the sole vengeance of his only relative would certainly be a constant concern with no hope for the Great Dao Path.
“Brother Wang, thank you.”
He genuinely thanked him.
Wang Yuan waved his hand, “Joining the Broken Mountain Gang, aside from the former Chief Protectors, it’s inevitable everyone will have to join a hall and work.”
“So now, you have two choices. One is to go with me and make a living on the Great Lake and the Great River.”
“The other is to stay within the seven halls in the gang.”
Faced with these two choices, Luo Chen blinked, and a decision had already formed in his heart.
Fearing he might not weigh the pros and cons properly, Wang Yuan provided some insight, “If you come with me, you don’t have to worry about people in the gang making things difficult for you. It might be hard in the beginning, but once you’re familiar with the water-based work, you’ll surely earn a lot.”
“If you stay within those halls, I may not have much say. The Hall Masters are all more senior than me.”
“Have you made up your mind?”
Luo Chen nodded heavily, “I choose to stay in the Medicine Hall of the seven halls.”
“I almost forgot, Qin Liangchen and his wife are your neighbors.”
Wang Yuan slightly smiled, then patted Luo Chen on the shoulder.
“That’s good too. By staying in the gang, you can keep an eye out for me and let me know if anything happens.”
He grinned, showing his white teeth.
Luo Chen chuckled, “The two of us, one inside and one outside, will grow stronger and create more glory!”
