He didn’t linger there for long just now.
Because he knew, no matter how good the conditions provided by Luo Tian Creed, the cultivators who manage to survive from the Inner City, would wisely choose other forces.
“Not only is it a competition for talents, I’m afraid other aspects will also reveal problems.”
Luo Chen, who had felt free and relaxed after Pang Renxiong’s death.
Now his heart once again became heavy.
Days to come might not be easy.
But no matter how hard the days are, one must continue to push on. There’s no reason to give up lightly.
After returning to Luo Tian Creed, Luo Chen called a meeting with everyone.
The number of attendees was small, only Murong Qinglian, Gu Caiyi, and Duan Feng representing the Battle Hall participated.
‘The Inner City has turned into a ghost realm, and the disciples of the major sects have also withdrawn, and they won’t return for quite some time.” After sharing this news, Luo Chen left ample time for the three to digest it. Watching the three of them transition from shock to intense discussion and finally to worry.
Luo Chen spoke again, “I am not going to abandon Luo Tian Creed in the short term. As long as we can continue operating, even if The Great River District declines, we can still survive in other markets, at least we won’t end up alone.” “That’s true,” MurongQinglian agreed, nodding. “Rogue cultivators struggle to succeed on their own. Unless one has exceptional opportunities, most Cultivators who manage Foundation Establishment rely on various influences to do so.”
This has been the experience gathered by rogue cultivators over many years. Not to mention anything else, the two rogue cultivators of The Great River District who managed Foundation Establishment, Mi Shuhua and Wang Haichao, relied on the Broken Mountain Gang and the Great Lake Gang to finally succeed.
There’s truth to the concept of gathering warmth by sticking together. Only by relying on a force can one gather enough comprehensive cultivation resources to continue to increase their cultivation level.
Moreover, having a force to rely on often spares one from worrying about sudden attacks.
Seeing Gu Caiyi and even Duan Feng nod in agreement, Luo Chen began discussing the situation that Luo Tian Creed was about to face.
The ambitions of small forces and the potential suppressions from large forces. He analyzed all possibilities clearly and explained them to the three present. After listening, the three appeared more worried, but none suggested disbanding Luo Tian Creed to go their separate ways.
Luo Chen looked at the three with relief. His sincere regard for them hadn’t been in vain; at least they were all still united.
So, further discussions were much easier to have.
“Our current situation is dangerous, but it is also where the greatest opportunity lies!”
“Powerful rogue cultivators can likely make it through the wasteland and survive in other markets. But weaker rogue cultivators can only stay in The Great River District.”
“Moreover, it’s only the Inner City that’s been destroyed.”
Everyone agreed with this.
Although The Great River District is mainly located in the Inner City, years of business operations have given rise to an ecosystem in the Outer City region as well.
Even because of the abundance of rogue cultivators in the Outer City region, this ecosystem is even more extensive.
Just look back at how the Broken Mountain Gang operated many industries in the Outer City region.
The once five major black markets were all located in the Outer City region. If you add the abundant resources from the mountains, perhaps some of the higher realm rogue cultivators wouldn’t easily leave the place they have struggled in for so long.
“In this situation, the departure of Spirit Medicine Hall has left a massive vacuum in the elixir market.”
If we can seize it, Luo Tian Creed will certainly make a killing!” Luo Chen declared
Gu Caiyi frowned: “But without the herb supply from Hundred Herbs Pavilion, can you still continue to produce Jade Marrow Pills?”
“Without Hundred Herbs Pavilion, there’s still Lianyun Business Union!” Luo Chen calmly replied.
Murong Qinglian paused for a moment, then immediately realized what he meant.
Indeed, regarding medicinal materials, the Lianyun Business Union is not any weaker than Hundred Herbs Pavilion.
In the end, Hundred Herbs Pavilion is just a foreign force. The Lianyun Business Union has been a local business for quite some time.
Gu Caiyi cautiously asked, “Would they do business with us?”
At this point, everyone looked at each other.
Luo Chen glanced approvingly at Gu Caiyi. This was the key to the problem. He silently held an item with spirit power, hovering it in the center of the room. “What’s this?”
Duan Feng raised his eyebrows. He sensed a strong sword consciousness from the small sword.
This was actually an Ascendant Grade Magic Tool!
Luo Chen whispered, “This is the token bestowed on me by Elder of Yu Ding Sword Sect, a Golden Core Ascendant Master, Pang Renxiong. Seeing this is like seeing him in person.”
“But he’s already dead!”
“But the Yu Ding Sword Sect is still alive!”
Luo Chen looked around at everyone, smiling, “Others do not know about my relationship with the Yu Ding Sword Sect, so there is a lot of room for manipulation.”
Duan Feng hesitated, “Chairman, are you saying that we should pretend?” “No, it’s scare the monkey with the dead tiger’s skin!” Murong Qinglian definitively said, then looked towards Luo Chen.
The latter nodded, showing a smile.
Standing up, Luo Chen strolled around the room with his hands behind his back, narrating as he walked.
“My relationship with the Yu Ding Sword Sect has always been unclear.”
First Miao Wen collaborated with me, hoping to profit from my pill refinement technique, and he has even warned the other major forces.” “Then came Luo Tianhong, the true disciple of Yu Ding who personally healed Big Brother Qjn’s severed limb.”
“These aren’t things that can be concealed.”
“Especially in the eyes of those who are interested, my relationship with the Yu Ding Sword Sect is very profound.”
As they listened to this narration, the responsible persons of the three halls all showed thoughtful expressions.
The experienced Murong Qinglian’s even seemed to have gained some insights.
