Not the Same as That Time (Thousands More Subscriptions Please!) __1

The grand battle among the Golden Core cultivators of The Great River District turned the once thriving Inner City into a Ghost City.
Even more tragic was the loss of several thousand cultivators, a real catastrophe.
However, for the surviving rogue cultivators, this was a huge opportunity! Those who could afford to live in the Inner City were mostly wealthy and possessed profound cultivation levels.
Such beings, apart from their mastery in a particular field, often had industries in the Outer City or in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range.
With their deaths, these resources had been left unclaimed.
Countless people began to scramble for these things.
But the most important opportunity did not lie in this!
Spirit Qi!
As time progressed, the rogue cultivators discovered that the spirit qi around The Great River District was becoming increasingly dense.
Its density was almost equivalent to that of renting a normal house in the Inner
City in the past.
This bizarre change surprised everyone.
According to a clan cultivator, the elders in his family conjectured that the Spirit Qi Barrier Array set up by the Yu Ding Sword Sect had been destroyed. This led to the rampant spread of the First Order Spirit Veins from Luo Feng Mountain.
This resulted in a radius of a thousand miles turning into a Rich Spirit Land.
This inference was highly credible.
Because it was rumored that the concentration of spirit qi in many Sect Holy Lands was this dense.
The powerful beings of the sect would enclose the High Order Spirit Veins, forming an environment suitable for high order cultivators.
But for First Order Spirit Veins, they would often not be enclosed but released for the lower order disciples to cultivate.
The First Order Spirit Vein in The Great River District covered an extremely vast area, and its spirit qi foundation was rather profound.
If it were in a sect, it would probably also be released.
Unfortunately, this wasn’t a sect territory, but a gathering place for rogue cultivators.
Therefore, the Yu Ding Sword cultivators had previously used an array to enclose and block it, confining it within the Inner City.
Now that the Barrier Array was destroyed in the great battle, the dense spirit qi of this spirit vein could finally be enjoyed by all the powerless rogue cultivators. Due to this change, some Late Stage Qi Refinement cultivators who originally planned to leave The Great River District decided to stay.
Where else could one find a rich spirit land that didn’t require any money?
The Eastern Wasteland Million Mountains?
No one was a fool, everyone was seizing the time to cultivate, aside from necessary daily activities.
Because everyone understood that once the sword cultivators of the Yu Ding Sword Sect came back, they would inevitably enclose the enormous spirit qi again.
By then, they would have to spend spirit stones to enjoy this kind of benefit.
Luo Chen was also one of those seizing the time to cultivate.
He spent several days finally reaching an agreement with Elder Zhou of the Lianyun Business Union about the supply of medicinal materials.
With this, the Luo Tian Creed could restart their production of Jade Marrow
Pills.
After dealing with these matters, Luo Chen’s cultivation routine became more regular.
Within the cave, Luo Chen, naked, stepped out of the bronze furnace. As he replaced the spirit stones in the Spirit Gathering Array, he contemplated. “Fortunately, I purchased large quantities of resources beforehand, so I don’t have to worry about the supply of cultivation resources for a short while.” There were two occasions where he made large-scale purchases of resources. One was when Pang Renxiong arrived and The Great River District plunged into chaos. He feared that the prices of various items would rise, so he spent five thousand spirit stones to buy a batch of resources.
The other was when he planned to escape.
Once he had escaped through the underground tunnel to Changyin Mountain, safety and cultivation would become the most important priority.
Therefore, he spent several thousand spirit stones to buy Dusting Pills, Calming Incense, and Nourishing Origin Liquid among other things.
After reaching an agreement with Miao Wen, these hoarded resources were not used up too much.
Now with the departure of the sect industries like the Spirit Medicine Hall, others might worry about cultivation resources, but he didn’t have to.
“These resources should be enough to support half a year of my cultivation.” “In half a year’s time, the order should have recovered by then and the people of the Yu Ding Sword Sect should also be back.”
The Great River District was vital!
Luo Chen gathered this information from many people and inferred this conclusion.
Whether it was the establishment of the Dao Debate Platform, the resources from the Million Mountains, or the geographical advantage of the Bridgehead Fort.
These were all reasons why Yu Ding Sword Sect highly valued this place. Especially when he had learned from Sima Xian that The Great River District was highly likely to have been constructed as a model of the Immortal City, he became more certain of his inference.
The Yu Ding Sword Sect would never give up The Great River District!
As for the half-year period, it was an estimate that Luo Chen made based on the last time the Yu Ding Sword Sect reacted to Fei Bowen’s death.
Whether it was the decision-making time of the sect or the time needed to travel here.
Half a year was a suitable number.
“However, none of these currently matter to me.”
Everything was ready, and the surging bodily strength was enough to sustain him through several rotations of the Longevity Technique.
“After mastering the entry-level of Ming God’s Divine Cleanse, apart from tempering my consciousness, it also slightly enhances my soul. “Coupled with the increase in physical strength, even without the aid of Calming Incense, I can now fully rotate the Longevity Technique four times a day.”
“If considering the five times with the aid of Calming Incense, that makes a total of nine times!”
Nine full rotations, each for half an hour, meant that it would consume at least five hours.
In between, there had to be pauses for rest.
Having to spend so much time every day to cultivate his Natal Qi Technique, if this were in the past, Luo Chen would only feel that there was not enough time. That’s because, back then, he had numerous techniques to cultivate.
But now, most techniques already reached the point of perfection.
The only ones that needed attention now were the optimization of the Fireball Technique, and the Earth Rock Technique and Wave Technique.
The former was his current strongest trump card while the latter two were in preparation for the Second Order Technique “Mountain Collapse”.
