Chapter 174: Nanwa is Absent, The Old Friend Comes in the Snow, The Sky Changes, High in the Supreme_6

Luo Chen nodded.

In this era, many of The Great River District rogue cultivators stay here instead of moving on.

Besides the fact that The Great River District is near the mountains and rich in resources, which is beneficial to their cultivation…

There is also the issue that journeys to other places often take too long.

The Lancang River isn’t just a simple river.

Many demon beasts live in it, including those of the second and third order. When Pang Renxiong slayed the Golden Core of a demonic cultivator there were many corpses of first order demonic beasts at the bottom of the Lancang River.                    5

The latecomers, the rogue cultivators who dared to go under the river also reaped plentiful rewards.

“Actually, the trade in Liuguang District is the most profitable.”

“It used to be a mining site for the Yu Ding Sword Sect, but after years of excavation, there isn’t much left.”

“During those three hundred years of mining, many factions emerged nearby.” “However, when the mines ran dry, these factions faced a severe decline in income. Furthermore, coupled with a scarcity of resources, conflicts became prevalent.”

“Each time we transport goods there, we make a lot of profit because they lack resources.”

“But the increase in calamity cultivators drove us away gradually.”

Luo Chen doesn’t know much about the situation in Liuguang District.

Most of his knowledge comes from the autobiography of Rogue Cultivator Gu Yue and information from people like Wang Yuan who have ventured outside the local area.

There are many calamity cultivators there who kill and loot without hesitation. This situation arose because it is the only marketplace nearby without a garrison from the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion.

Cultivators like Qiu Bai and Liu Han who court calamities came from the Liuguang District.

And there are still many people like them there.

“The reason we stopped doing business there is because the situation outside is getting more chaotic.”

“The three of us siblings have been on the move for a long time, and it’s only a matter of time before we get into trouble.”

Sima Huiniang gave a bitter smile, “To be honest, last year right here in The Great River District, we three almost died at the hands of two calamity cultivators.”

Luo Chen remained silent.

He knew this; in fact, in the end, he had to step in to rescue them.

“After that battle, my brother and I were seriously injured.”

“After we recovered, we decided things couldn’t continue as they were. That’s when we began considering joining a faction.”

Luo Chen chuckled lightly, “Why did you choose the Luo Tian Creed then?” Sima Huiniang sat up straighter, she probably knew that this was the main point of the meeting today.

If her answer wasn’t good enough, the best-case scenario was leaving a bad impression, worst case scenario was being marginalized or even expelled from the Luo Tian Creed.

She answered seriously, “At the time, The Great River District was in chaos. The Broken Mountain Gang had been destroyed, and Xuan Yihui had fallen apart. The local Foundation Establishment clans were fighting each other, and many small factions were rising to power.”

“We did consider joining the Great Lake Gang.”

“But the situation within the Great Lake Gang is extremely complicated. From what we saw in Taishan District, the Great Lake Gang not only collaborates with the Lianyun Business Union, but also deals with several other immortal cultivation clans in Taishan District, either through conflict or cooperation.” “If we joined the Great Lake Gang, we might have ended up as pawns in the gang’s power struggles.”

Luo Chen nodded, then asked, “Why didn’t Immortal Cultivation clans?”

you consider joining one of the local

Sima Huiniang gave a bitter smile, “Those clans are mainly composed of their own cultivators. Unless an outsider has a high cultivation level and becomes an honorary member, they will never really be valued.”

This was indeed true.

Most Immortal Cultivation clans were held together by blood ties.

They never truly relied on outside cultivators.

“As for other small factions, honestly, we didn’t consider them much of a threat. Their strengths might not even match up to the three of us together.” “In such a situation, the Luo Tian Creed, which carries on the lineage of the Broken Mountain Gang, seemed to be the best choice.”

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, “Oh? Could you explain further?”

Faced with Luo Chen’s questioning, Sima Huiniang remained unfazed.

With poise, she said, “It’s simple, back then you needed people to rejuvenate the creed. It was highly probable that we would be highly valued if we joined. And indeed, that turned out to be the case!”

Right now, her eldest brother, Sima Xian, is an elder in the Battle Hall.

With Wang Yuan uninvolved, Duan Feng in cultivation, and in charge of casting tools along with his team…

Sima Xian could be considered the actual leader of the Battle Hall.

Her youngest brother, Sima Wenjie, is also doing well.

His impulsive personality has become more stable after managing personnel. “Plus, us three being at the ninth level of Qi Refinement wouldn’t overawe the Luo Tian Creed.”

“At that time, the Luo Tian Creed already had six or seven cultivators on the ninth level. They wouldn’t fear the three of us.”

“And finally…”

Sima Huiniang chuckled heartily, gazing at Luo Chen.

“Your reputation as the pill refiner Dan Chenzi guaranteed that Luo Tian

Creed’ s future would be much brighter than the other smaller factions.”

1 ‘You have quite a clear analysis. No wonder your brothers are willing to listen to you.”

Luo Chen chuckled awkwardly, he hadn’t expected that their final reason for choosing the Luo Tian Creed was because of him.

Indeed, the identity of a pill refiner was always valued the most, no matter what.

Seeing Luo Chen’s smile, Sima Huiniang sighed a sigh of relief.

It seemed like she had passed the test today.

However, Luo Chen’s next words made her start.

“Since you are so optimistic about the Luo Tian Creed, do you have any thoughts of progressing even further?”
