But.
At this critical mont, Luo Chen wouldn’t allow any complications to arise.
With the foundation established from practicing "Ming God’s Divine Cleanse", he easily got the hang of "Wind-Calming Wave".
In a daze, he seed to transform into a black chess piece, eroded by the river of years, slowly decaying.
Yet in that erosion, his will stood firm like a black reef unyielding in the river of ti, immovable as a mountain!
Wary and careful, as if on the brink of an abyss.
Trembling and cautious, as if walking on thin ice.
The long path to immortality is more than just valleys and ice.
A thousand years like a rotten stalemate, only the heart remains unchanged.
...
Three years later.
Tian Lan Immortal City.
On Central Avenue, the crowd was dense, and the bustle was tenfold, a hundredfold greater than before!
The once so-called phrases "Qi refinent like clouds, Foundation Establishnt like rain, occasional appearances of Golden Core" had beco genuinely apt descriptions of the current ti!
From all corners of the land, cultivators from the Thirty-six Domains rushed to the Yu Ding Realm.
Even just a trickle of them reaching Tian Lan Immortal City was staggering in number.
Communal carriages within the Immortal City ran non-stop, day and night.
All the shops flung their doors open wide, with cultivators cheerfully conducting business.
Especially at the Yu Ding Sword Sect’s Dao Debate Platform, which was getting increasingly popular as the Yu Huang sword debate approached!
Because the rules of the Yu Huang sword debate claid not to restrict anyone, any Sect, any Realm could participate.
But in fact, there were criteria.
That was to secure a top ten ranking on the Dao Debate Platform within any of the Top Ten Immortal Cities of Yu Ding Realm for the corresponding Realm!
Only those could be invited to the Yu Huang sword debate.
Therefore, the martial atmosphere in the Top Ten Immortal Cities of the Yu Ding Realm grew stronger by the day.
Dao Debate? It’s all about fighting!
Even Rogue Cultivators who didn’t wish to participate in the Yu Huang sword debate willingly took their chances at the Dao Debate Platform to gauge the gap in strength with others.
The audience attending the debates was overflowing every day, for every event.
In such conditions, the shops in Tian Lan Immortal City were making a killing.
The Luo Tian Creed didn’t miss out on the profits in this process either.
Not to ntion other businesses, just the shop they took over on Central Avenue was bringing in a fortune every day.
In reality, with the power of the Luo Tian Creed, they didn’t qualify to own a shop on Central Avenue.
But the Lianyun Business Union’s power was waning, and the Great Elder Lianyun had disappeared for many years.
Luo Chen knew that He Lianyun had long since died by his hand.
Therefore, upon his return, he had Sima Huiniang contact the rotating Immortal City Sect of the ti, Ailao Mountain.
When the Lianyun Business Union couldn’t afford to pay the rent, the Luo Tian Creed was the first to take over Lianyun Tower.
Now!
Lianyun Tower had been renad Danxia Hall.
The business it conducted was similar to the forr Lianyun Business Union’s, except for two new main types of business.
That was elixirs and snack business.
Since Qu Lingjun advanced to the Foundation Establishnt Stage, the elixir business had beco more stable and composed. He had even managed to produce Second Order Pills.
And because he was a disciple directly taught by Luo Chen, many Lower Order Cultivators in Tianlan sought to flatter him and even gave him the honorary title "Lingjunzi".
This title might seem perfunctory, simply adding a respectful "zi" at the end of a na.
But it also carried the aning of sucking up to Luo Chen.
After all, Luo Chen himself had two honorary titles, one of which was Fire Spirit Lord, which had a nominal connection to Qu Lingjun’s "Lingjunzi".
Thus, with Masters Dan Chenzi and Lingjunzi, both Second Order Pill Refiners, sitting in Danxia Hall, it naturally beca a magnet for countless Lower Order Cultivators.
After all, the elixirs sold by the Luo Tian Creed were cheap.
And the snack business was a tradition of the Luo Tian Creed.
Cultivators talk about fasting, but it only applies after Foundation Establishnt.
And even those who have established their Foundation don’t abstain from eating altogether; if there are tasty snacks that contain Spirit Qi, nobody minds spending a few Spirit Stones to give them a try.
It was precisely because of this.
Among the high-end shops of Central Avenue, Danxia Hall, targeting Lower Order Cultivators, unexpectedly turned into the busiest and most vibrant shop.
Even Gu Caiyi, the head of the Luo Tian Creed Gold Hall, spent eight or nine out of ten days based in Danxia Hall.
On this day.
She was greeting a Golden Core Ascendant Master with Yuan Xiaoyue, who had also reached Foundation Establishnt.
The visitor was said to be a senior from the Fenghua Palace.
After entering Danxia Hall, she road around.
Especially on the floor where the pills were sold, she lingered without leaving.
After so ti, the senior suddenly asked, "Don’t you sell Jade Dew Pills here?"
Gu Caiyi’s face tensed, and she replied carefully, "Fengyue senior, I don’t know where you heard such news, but our Danxia Hall does not deal in Jade Dew Pills."
Fengyue Fairy’s lips slightly curled upward, "Isn’t Master Dan Chenzi well-known for refining Jade Dew Pills? Isn’t that common knowledge?"
Jade Dew Pills!
A special product of the Fenghua District!
Inside the Fenghua Palace, there were several masters skilled at refining these pills.
And Fengyue Fairy was among the standout experts.
Even though she wasn’t primarily focused on the Dao of Alchemy, she could still stably refine Ascendant Grade Jade Dew Pills.
Beading with sweat on her forehead, Gu Caiyi whispered, "Indeed, our leader can refine Jade Dew Pills, but they are currently provided only to Ice Castle, so we don’t sell them to others."
Fengyue Fairy raised an eyebrow.
She was aware of this news as well.
But!
With a slight sniff of her nose, a smile that was not quite a smile appeared on her face.
"Young lady, you say they’re only supplied to Ice Castle, but why do I sll a Pill Fragrance from you that’s characteristic of long-term use of Jade Dew Pills?"
Gu Caiyi gasped.
She and Sima Huiniang indeed used Jade Dew Pills regularly, and mostly of Ascendant Grade and Top Grade levels.
But Pill Fragrance?
For the cool and odorless Jade Dew Pills, could there still be a fragrance even under the camouflage of their rouge and body scent?
