Great River Market Duan Family!
With a history of three hundred years, it is said that the first generation Old Ancestor was not from this area.
But when Founding War rose to prominence at the end of his career, he relied on his friendship with monk Sky Sail City and learned some basics about casting from him.
After many years of exploration and research, I have developed my own method.
I feel that competition among Inner Domain is fierce.
More than two hundred years ago, Duan Family Old Ancestor came to Great River Market, which was just founded at that time, and occupied Spirit Land to start a family.
It has been passed down to the present for nearly a dozen generations.
The current head of the family, Clan Leader, is quite senior and is said to be a third-generation clan member.
However, these are not important anymore.
The important thing is that they are competing with the Luo Tian Association for people.
Li Wanchun, from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, is not a handyman who welcomes and delivers.
Instead, he is a helper in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion who assists the disciples of Sky Sail City and forges Magic Tool.
Regarding the casting of Magic Tool, although I don't have any personal style, it can be said that I am familiar with it.
Maybe, I also learned something real from disciple Sky Sail City.
Luo Chen wants to recruit such talents into the Luo Tian Association and assign them to Duan Feng.
Magic Tool business, Luo Chen has always wanted to do it!
It's just that Luo Tian Association is only understood by Duan Feng, so it can't be spread out.
But if Li Wanchun joins, it can at least open up the situation a little.
Establishing a Weapon Crafting Hall, combined with the many Magic Tool confiscated in many wars, can completely support the initial business.
It's a pity that Duan Family has such thoughts.
When Luo Chen looked over with his falcon-like eyes, monk Duan Family, who was talking eloquently and offering many preferential terms, couldn't help but froze.
That man is also a Late Qi Refining Stage monk, although his level is lower than that of Luo Chen.
But relying on the family's reputation as a monk, I don't feel inferior.
Realizing his embarrassment, he immediately became embarrassed.
"Watch what you want and choose where to go is the freedom of fellow Daoist Li Wanchun!"
"Furthermore, I, Duan Family, am good at Magic Tool casting. This is a well-known thing. He should be the best place for Fellow Daoist Li."
"If you feel uncomfortable, you can offer better terms to recruit him."
He spoke so confidently that he even felt proud later on.
Luo Tian Association's monk was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to seek explanation from him.
After all, Li Wanchun had already agreed to join Luo Tian Association before.
"Don't move!"
Luo Chen stopped the Luo Tian Association people.
He stood there and his eyes fell on Li Wanchun who was in a dilemma.
"Where to go, Fellow Daoist Li makes his own decision, and I, Luo Tian Association, will never bully others."
Li Wanchun stood in the middle of the two sides, feeling his scalp numb.
The past half month at Inner City has been the most difficult period in history. I don't know what will happen every day.
The sight of Ghost Domain outside the building gave him a huge shock.
At that time, he was thinking that as long as he could get out alive, nothing could be worse than this.
After he came out, he was abandoned by Old Chu and stayed with Great River Market. He was very disappointed.
But in an instant, I was invited to join Luo Tian Association.
This gradually made him feel better.
At least, I have a place to stay.
He never expected that the famous Duan Family would actually extend an invitation to him.
"This is probably whether Ji Tai will come!"
This was what he had thought before.
Being robbed by two forces is such a happy trouble!
However, when Luo Chen, the owner of the Luo Tian Association, told him to "make his own decision," he actually felt a little chilled.
In the short term, joining Duan Family is undoubtedly the best.
He is good at forging tools there and can maximize what he has learned in his life.
But there are also disadvantages. Duan Family has many talented people, so they may not be reused when they get there.
Therefore, in the long run, Luo Tian Association is undoubtedly the better choice.
After going to the Luo Tian Association, he might have the opportunity to break away from the low status of a helper before and become his own person in the Luo Tian Association and flex his muscles.
Li Wanchun, is not a short-sighted person.
Therefore, he chose - "Thanks to Luo Chen for Chairman's attention, but I would rather go to the Duan Family."
"Very good, I respect your idea!"
Luo Chen was smiling but not smiling. He left such a sentence and took people away.
Seeing this, Li Wanchun couldn't help but sigh.
After all, I still offended this leader of the party!
The Duan Family monk next to him sneered, "You really think of yourself as a person, but you are just a Qi Refining casual cultivator force."
"We, Duan Family, have a big force like Foundation Establishment True Cultivator!"
Li Wanchun nodded in agreement.
He doesn't care about the short-term or long-term. He only knows that a force without Foundation Establishment True Cultivator suppression will never be able to achieve long-term success.
In Great River Market, in addition to the industry of Five Great Upper Sects, there are many other shops.
Among them, there are many shops belonging to the other six clusters of Jade Cauldron Domain.
But in the end, only the five major shops were able to come out alive from Ghost City.
No other reason, just because Foundation Establishment True Cultivator is in charge of these five shops!
He saw it thoroughly, so he chose Duan Family.
As for whether he would offend Luo Chen, he didn't really care after joining Duan Family.
Having lived in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion for a long time, I don't care at all about casual cultivators.
Let alone Luo Chen, it's Luo Tian Association. He actually didn't pay much attention to it before.
Duan Family, the good bird chooses the tree to roost in!
Regarding the choice of Li Wanchun, Luo Chen naturally knows the reasons behind it.
He said respect on his lips, but his heart felt cold.
There is no Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, which is the biggest shortcoming of the Luo Tian Association.
Therefore, in terms of talent competition, it will be at a huge disadvantage compared to other forces.
He didn't stay there much at all just now.
Because he knows that no matter how good the conditions are given by the Luo Tian Association, the monks who survive from Inner City will choose other forces wisely.
"It's not just the competition for talents, I'm afraid other issues will also expose problems."
Luo Chen feels free and relaxed since Pang Renxiong died.
Now my heart has become heavy again.
I'm afraid the days to come won't be easy.
But no matter how difficult the days are, you must keep going and there is no reason to give up easily.
After returning to the Luo Tian Association, Luo Chen called everyone for a meeting.
The number of attendees was very small, only Murong Qinglian, Gu Cai Yi, and Duan Feng representing Battle Hall.
"Inner City has become a Ghost Domain. The monks from all the major sects have also evacuated one after another. At least they will not come back in a short time."
After throwing out the news, Luo Chen allowed enough time for the three of them to digest it.
Watching the three of them go from shock, to heated discussion, to finally becoming worried.
Luo Chen spoke again, "I will definitely not give up Luo Tian Association in a short period of time. As long as it can continue to operate, even if Great River Market declines, we can still go to other Marketplace to survive, at least we will not be left alone."
"That's the truth." Murong Qinglian nodded in agreement, "It's difficult to succeed alone. As long as casual cultivators build foundations, there are no unnatural opportunities. They basically rely on various forces to successfully build foundations."
This is the experience accumulated by casual practitioners over the years.
Apart from anything else, the two independent practitioners Great River Market and Mi Shuhua and Wang Haichao relied on Mountain Shattering Gang and Great River Gang to successfully build the foundation in the end.
Hugging for warmth is no joke.
Only by relying on a force can we collect sufficient and comprehensive cultivation resources and continue to improve our cultivation.
Moreover, if you have the power to rely on, you don't have to worry about sudden robberies and killings in many cases.
Seeing Gu Cai Yi and even Duan Feng nodded in agreement, Luo Chen talked about the situation Luo Tian Association was about to face.
Small forces are ready to make moves, while big forces may suppress them.
He dissected it thoroughly Chu Chu, broke it apart, crushed it into pieces, and told the three of them.
After listening, the three people became more worried, but they did not propose to disband Luo Tian Association and go their separate ways.
Luo Chen looked at the three of them with relief, it was true that he treated each other sincerely, at least everyone was still united in their hearts.
Therefore, the following matters will be much easier to talk about.
"The current situation is very dangerous, but it is also the greatest opportunity!"
"Strong independent cultivators can still cross the wilderness and go to other Marketplaces to survive. But weak independent cultivators can only stay in Great River Market."
"Besides, this place was just destroyed by Inner City."
Everyone agreed with this statement.
Although Great River Market is mainly based on Inner City, after years of operation, Outer City Area also has its own ecosystem.
Even because there are so many casual cultivators of Outer City Area, this ecology is even wider.
Didn't you see that Mountain Shattering Gang was originally in Outer City Area and ran many industries.
The five former Big Black cities were all arranged in Outer City Area.
If coupled with the rich resources in the mountains, perhaps some high-level casual cultivators will not easily leave their homeland where they have worked hard for many years.
"Under such circumstances, the departure of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion has left a huge vacuum in the elixir market."
"If we can grasp it, Luo Tian Association will definitely make a lot of money!"
Gu Cai Yi frowned and said, "But without the supply of medicinal materials from the Hundred Herbs Hall, can you still refining Jade Marrow Pill stably?"
"There is no Hundred Herbs Hall, there is Connecting Cloud Commerce Alliance!" Luo Chen said calmly.
Murong Qinglian was startled for a moment and then reacted immediately.
Indeed, in terms of medicinal raw materials, Connecting Cloud Commerce Alliance is not weaker than Hundred Herbs Hall.
In the final analysis, Hundred Herbs Hall is just a force that came from Outer Domain, while Connecting Cloud Commerce Alliance is a local force that has been operating for a long time.
Gu Cai Yi asked cautiously, "Will they do business with us?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in shock.
Luo Chen glanced at Gu Cai Yi with admiration. This is the crux of the problem.
He silently held an object with his spiritual power and flew it to the center.
"This is?"
Duan Feng raised his eyebrows, and he felt a sharp Sword Intent from the little sword.
This is actually a High-Grade Magic Tool!
Luo Chen said softly, "Elder Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, Golden Core Immortal Pang Renxiong, gave me a token. Seeing this thing is like seeing him in person."
"But he is already dead!"
"But Jade Cauldron Sword Sect is still alive!"
Luo Chen looked around at the crowd and said with a smile, "Others don't know my relationship with the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, so there is a lot to be done here."
Duan Feng hesitated and said, "Chairman, do you mean to say that we are a fool?"
"No, it's a fox pretending to be a tiger!" Murong Qinglian said firmly, looking at Luo Chen.
The other person nodded and smiled.
Standing up, Luo Chen put his hands behind his back and walked slowly.
As he walked, he said:
"My relationship with the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect has actually never been clear."
"Miao Wen cooperated with me before, trying to make money with my Pill Refinement Art, and I gave warnings to those big forces."
"Later, Jade Cauldron Sect's true successor Luo Tianhong was asked to personally take action and reattach Brother Qin's severed limb."
"You can't hide this from others."
"Especially in the eyes of caring people, the relationship between me and Jade Cauldron Sword Sect is very deep."
Listening to these eloquent words, the heads of the three halls all looked thoughtful.
The experienced Murong Qinglian is even more enlightened.
"No wonder half a month has passed since that battle. Other foundation-building forces are unable to hold back."
"If I had followed my previous style, I'm afraid I would have already coveted Luo Chen your Pill Refinement Art."
Gu Cai Yi suddenly realized, "Are they worried about Luo Chen your relationship with the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect?"
"Yes!"
Luo Chen stopped and looked deeply.
"But if you keep being so quiet, sooner or later someone will lose control."
"So, we have to take the initiative."
"As long as we can achieve in-depth cooperation with a few companies, they will not easily destroy the original cooperative relationship regardless of whether they have backers or not."
"And this token Golden Core Immortal left to me is the best stepping stone!"
On the Lancang River, a ship hundreds of feet long was docked on the shore.
The turbulent river water rushed in and lapped on it, but the ship remained motionless.
Luo Chen, accompanied by monk Great River Gang, stepped onto the deck.
A figure stood on the bow of the ship, facing the breeze, and did not look back.
"This ship was customized by me and was commissioned by Sky Sail City. The main material is Dragon Whale Bone, supplemented by a variety of Water Attribute monster materials."
"Luo Chen, what do you think of this ship?"
Luo Chen stepped forward step by step. With his eyesight, he could certainly tell the grade of this ship.
"The grade is no more than low-grade, but its power is enough to surpass most High-Grade Magic Tool."
Wang Haichao turned his face sideways and looked at him.
"I have good eyesight. It is precisely because I, Great River Gang, have such a ship that I can navigate Lancang River and Jade Cauldron Sect many waters."
Luo Chen twitched the corner of his mouth.
Isn't this nonsense?
Who can have such a large Low-Grade Magic Tool?
Ordinary Tier 1 Demon Beast cannot cause fundamental damage to it.
Perhaps you also know that such an opening statement is meaningless.
Wang Haichao changed the subject. "To be honest, I was a little surprised that you dared to come and see me alone."
When Slanting Moon Valley fought, two Foundation Establishment True Cultivator came later.
They are Wang Haichao and Elder Zhou of the Connecting Cloud Commerce Alliance.
Their intention to rush here is very obvious.
It is nothing more than snatching Pills and Medicine Second Hall resources, and most importantly, controlling Luo Chen.
Now that Luo Chen came to visit in person, how could he not be surprised?
Luo Chen chuckled and took out the small sword Magic Tool.
"This is?" Wang Haichao wondered.
"Elder Pang's token, you haven't seen it before, right?"
Luo Chen looked at each other with a half-smile.
Wang Haichao's complexion changed slightly, but he was still confused.
Luo Chen ignored him and put the small sword Magic Tool into Storage Bag.
He leaned on the railing and said straight to the point, "I'm here to restart cooperation between the two parties and stabilize Jade Washing Herb's business."
"Gang Leader Wang, what do you think?"
Wang Haichao frowned and avoided talking about this business.
"It seems that you have a close relationship with the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect!"
"Then let me ask you, if such a big thing happened to Great River Market, why hasn't Jade Cauldron Sword Sect come back yet?"
Luo Chen's face remained unchanged and he said calmly, "Those who should come back will always come back. You don't think that Jade Cauldron Sword Sect will be indifferent to the loss of one Golden Core elder and two Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, do you?"
Hearing these words, Wang Haichao raised his eyebrows.
No sect would ignore the death of Golden Core.
In particular, he was ambushed and killed, and even a large Marketplace was destroyed.
"Gang Leader Wang, you have to understand one thing. Big sects are different from small sects like us. They have many things to consider, so they move a little slower, which is normal."
"Just like the death of Ailao Mountain that Late-Stage Foundation Establishment monk, Jade Cauldron Sword Sect took more than half a year to deal with this matter."
"Looking at how seriously they attach importance to it and directly send out a Golden Core Cultivator, it can be seen that they will stop if they don't move, and they will thunder if they move."
"For the same reason, the tragedy of Great River Market is ten times a hundred times worse than the case of Fei Bai Wen!"
"The person who comes by then may not be as simple as Golden Core Immortal."
After saying these words, Luo Chen paused.
He looked at the scene of flying birds holding fish in the vast Great River, and suddenly smiled.
"Originally, I should accompany Elder Pang and Steward Miao back to the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect."
"But something unexpected happened, so I had no choice but to stay."
"When the monks from the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect come back, I will tell them all the big and small things happening here."
"Well, including the current trends of the major local forces, as well as many future actions."
Wang Haichao's heart sank.
"Are you threatening me?"
Luo Chen shook his head quickly, "How dare you, junior!"
"I just want to do good business with you and make a fortune together."
"What's more, you are not the only one doing Jade Washing Herb business in Great River Market. But I came to you alone because of the many times we have cooperated with you before."
"Gang Leader Wang, this junior still admires you very much."
Wang Haichao's complexion gradually softened.
Luo Chen's words really gave him a shake in his heart.
In fact, during this period of time, all major Foundation Establishment True Cultivator members of Great River Market have met many times.
Everyone is speculating on the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect's reaction and possible accountability.
With Luo Chen, who has a close relationship with the Sword Sect, he has a lot of room for maneuver.
"It's just Jade Washing Herb business, I agreed."
"Is everything the same as before?"
"Business as usual!"
"In that case, I will take my leave, junior, and leave all subsequent matters to the people below to handle!"
After bowing his hands, Luo Chen left calmly.
Wang Haichao stood on the deck, eyes following his back.
Until Luo Chen disappeared into the vast crowd.
Returning to the escort of Zhou Yuanli and others, Luo Chen vomited Turbid Qi.
At some point, cold sweat broke out on my back.
Sure enough, dealing with Foundation Establishment Cultivator is too dangerous.
That is to say, he has the means of Pang Renxiong token, otherwise many things cannot be put on the table.
"Great River Gang has settled the deal here, but the other companies still have to make a trip."
"When these things are properly handled, I can really calm down and practice Pill Refining and sprint Qi Refining Great Perfection!"
"Hope everything goes well!"
Luo Chen sighed.
He has a stable character, whether in his previous life or this life.
But unfortunately, many things are not subject to human will.
Initially, I just wanted to practice some All Wonders Pill to satisfy my spiritual needs, but in the end, I was forcibly assigned the identity of Pill Hall Master by Mi Shuhua.
Later I thought, I'll just take it as it comes, rely on Mountain Shattering Gang Pill Refining to gain proficiency, and gather some wool when I have nothing to do, which is also a way of practice.
But Mi Shuhua returned from a ruins expedition seriously injured, breaking this peaceful life.
He wanted to run away with the bucket, and planned to get some funds before leaving. However, the siege of the five major forces changed everything.
Okay, if Mountain Shattering Gang is gone, it will be gone.
With Miao Wen, the sect's foundation builder, his stage can be even bigger.
However, before Miao Wen even received the first month's dividend, Luo Chen was attracted by Pang Renxiong.
Of course, Pang Renxiong was beaten and killed, which was also unexpected by Luo Chen.
At that time, he had packed his bags, said goodbye to his friends, and even arranged various follow-up arrangements for the Luo Tian Association, a small force established by himself.
As a result, all expressions were in vain.
"Although, the three people who tried to take advantage of me all ended badly."
"But I'm still fed up with the feeling of being involuntarily."
"Now that you've come, you won't let me rest in peace!"
Luo Chen Walking on the rebuilt Qingjiang Long Street, looking at the casual cultivators coming and going, there is no sadness on their faces that Great River Market Inner City was destroyed, but rather hope for the future.
Without Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion and without the sect shops, it doesn't seem so miserable?
The major local forces will still purchase the resources collected by various casual cultivators, and the prices offered are higher than before.
Bartering with each other and black markets being held frequently are more active than before.
"Stable practice is not that easy."
"Only by fighting hard, only by hard work, only by fighting can we have a chance of survival."
Luo Chen no longer pins its hope on "hope".
Taking advantage of this Great River Market sect monks' vacuum period, he must seize the opportunity and fight for a space for himself!
