Mi Shuhua is dead, and the downfall of the Broken Mountain Gang is inevitable.
But Miao Wen greatly admired Luo Chen’s pill refinement technique, as well as Luo Chen himself.
Therefore, he proposed to shelter Luo Chen and collaborate together.
What Miao Wen could offer was not much, one could even say it was stingy.
Most notably, his own reputation as a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator in the Yu Ding Sword Sect!
Luo Chen was responsible for setting up a new force, refining elixirs, selling, and many other things.
The spirit stone profits obtained in the end would be split equally between him and Luo Chen after fulfilling the internal consumption of the Luo Tian Creed.
At first glance, it seemed Luo Chen got the short end of the stick.
In reality, he indeed did.
However, the myriad opportunities and benefits contained within were far-reaching.
Luo Chen clearly understood this. While the early stages may be slightly tough, he would earn considerably more once the Luo Tian Creed grew larger.
Moreover, by leveraging Miao Wen’s reputation as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he could extend his networks and enter a higher circle.
Even Foundation Establishment Pills, Miao Wen gave him a promise.
He was permitted to participate in the opportunities of splitting Foundation Establishment Pills with other Foundation Establishment Forces.
There were no restrictions on the number of times, as long as he had sufficient financial means.
This was something that Mi Shuhua couldn’t and wouldn’t have granted him! Although there is no concrete evidence, it can be postulated that Mi Shuhua had always been preventing other Foundation Establishment Cultivators from interacting with Luo Chen.
This was a form of protection as well as a form of confinement.
Now that Mi Shuhua had died, Luo Chen felt complex emotions.
However, he wouldn’t stop there, instead, he would take bigger, more determined steps.
Luo Chen saw it clearly.
Collaborating with Miao Wen meant suffering short-term disadvantages for the sake of long-term benefits.
Moreover, it’s possible that he wouldn’t suffer at all.
Miao Wen was overwhelmed, but the elixirs were produced by Luo Chen, and the sales were by the Luo Tian Creed.
The space for operation in the middle was enormous.
Luo Chen had many methods to ensure that his portion of the benefits would significantly surpass those from his time at the Broken Mountain Gang. From this point onward, he had barely managed to gain control of his fate. However, in the future, he would fully control his destiny.
The establishment of the Luo Tian Creed was the first step!
This organization would inevitably run centered around him.
This meant it wouldn’t lack people and objects relating to the Dao of Alchemy. All the cultivators from Crescent Valley were from the Pill and Medicine Halls, which suited his needs.
It could be said that their individual entrances represented Luo Chen’s firm foundation growing increasingly solid.
In the end, nearly all of the thirty-one lower order cultivators on the field had joined the Luo Tian Creed.
The reason it’s said to be nearly all was that one person hadn’t made her stance clear.
Mi Li!
The young girl was standing alone at the end of the crowd. Her face was pale, her expression mournful, and her eyes filled with uncontainable confusion.
When everyone looked at this daughter of Mi Junping and granddaughter of Mi Shuhua, she subconsciously stepped back.
“L..I…”
Before she knew it, Luo Chen had already come before her.
His tall silhouette and warm smile gently nodded at her.
“You are the granddaughter of the old Gang Leader. Whether you join or not,
the Luo Tian Creed will treat you very well.”
Unable to hold back, Mi Li suddenly burst into tears.
“Hall Master, I want to go home and have a look.”
“I’m afraid that’s impossible.”
The hoarse voice came from Feng Xia, who was looking at her with compassion.
“I come from the Inner City, and as of yesterday noon, the Nangong Family has already announced that the Mi Family Land will be theirs from now on.”
In the next two days, the Nangong Family will have completely moved in.”
What swift action!
This was the first time Luo Chen had heard this news, and his eyes betrayed his shock.
Mi Shuhua’s body was probably not even cold yet, and the division of the Mi Family and Broken Mountain Gang’s spoils had already commenced.
He wasn’t well informed, but he knew that the Mi Family land, which they had built over a hundred years, would henceforth have a new owner, Nangong.
And the Pill Hall that Mi Shuhua single-handedly nurtured was taken by Miao Wen, the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
And what about the rest?
The hunting of demon beasts in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range, Anquan Mountain Road, Beast Field, Mining Hall, and many other hidden industries.
Luo Chen drew a deep breath, realizing that he too had to expedite his actions.
Patting the shoulders of the lonely and helpless girl, Luo Chen stepped up onto a giant rock.
Next, when your name is called, come up and receive your reward!”
A grand feast of dividing spoils then commenced.
Thirty Early and Middle Stage Qi Refinement Cultivators, each receiving a hundred lower grade spirit stones, a lower-grade magic tool, and a cultivation pill.
No one objected to these rewards.
All together, it amounted to four to five hundred spirit stones.
For any Middle Stage Qi Refinement Cultivator, it was a substantial income.
Next, it was the late-stage cultivators’ turn for reward distribution.
Within the Pill Hall, under Luo Chen’s direction.
Liu Qiang received two thousand lower grade spirit stones, an ascendant grade magic tool, and five Qi Nurturing Pills.
Gu Caiyi received three thousand spirit stones, an ascendant level offense
magic tool, and two Dusting Pills.
After receiving their rewards, Liu Qiang couldn’t help but sigh.
“It’s such a pity for those brothers. Fangliang didn’t survive either; otherwise,
they would have also had a share here.”
Dong Fangliang died under the siege of several Late Stage Qi Refinement enemies, with his corpse placed in Crescent Valley.
The matters of subsequent burial had just been discussed and finalized.
Hearing the sadness in Liu Qiang’s voice, Zhou Yuanli patted his shoulder and sighed as well.
This battle inflicted heavy losses on the Broken Mountain Gang, and the members of their Pill and Medicine Halls were no exception.
However, even in their grief, they mostly felt excitement.
Those who survived and received thousands of spirit stones were always the luckiest.
This indicated that their Great Dao Path still had hope, and it could even go further than before..
