"Friend Song, feel free to visit often when you have free ti."
"Definitely, definitely!"
"Elder Fei, don’t leave hanging!"
"Leave you hanging?"
"I an, don’t make wait too long!"
"Haha, don’t worry, haven’t I given you a basic map? Start with the foundation. Once I get back, I’ll definitely bring a group of Ailao Mountain’s finest Spirit Architects for you. By then, your sect’s blessed land will be as magnificent as an Immortal Clan’s blessed land!"
"Then I’ll be waiting to welco your esteed arrival!"
"Friend Chen, you really helped out this ti. Whenever you reschedule your Golden Core Ceremony, make sure to send an invitation!"
"At tis like these, such formalities aren’t urgently needed. I..."
The woman hesitated, stopping mid-sentence.
Luo Chen noticed her hesitation and waited patiently for her to continue.
After a long silence, Chen Xiuli shook her head, "I had planned to secure a Third Order Spirit Vein for my clan, and wanted to ask for your help then. But now, with the way the Xiao Yue Mountain Range is being divided, it seems unlikely that there will be anything left for the Chen Family."
Nothing left?
Indeed nothing left!
With the Chen Family’s power and connections, they couldn’t possibly form an alliance as effortlessly and quickly as Luo Chen had.
But...
Luo Chen pointed in the direction of the Great Snow Mountain, "Let’s wait and see; there may still be a chance."
Chen Xiuli was taken aback, pondering Luo Chen’s words before leaving with a mind full of thoughts.
Then, it was Jin Buque’s turn.
"I once thought of inviting you to join our Five Elents Divine Sect, offering to share a piece of Third Order Spirit Land with you. Now it seems, I’ve underestimated you. In such a short ti, you’ve secured your own Third Order Spirit Land."
"It’s all thanks to everyone’s help!" Luo Chen humbly replied.
Jin Buque nodded, looking out at the nearby mountains that were still sowhat chaotic.
"This is a good location. If you manage it well, it could beco a foundation lasting a thousand years—or even longer, a foundation for all eternity!"
"Your kind words honor !" laughed Luo Chen.
Jin Buque smiled, then took his leave.
Watching him go, Luo Chen’s smile gradually faded, and he frowned.
That man...was too kind to him!
Ever since the Golden Core Ceremony, he had been overly generous.
Offering Spirit Pills, promising Spirit Land.
Even when refused, he didn’t take offense.
Later, sohow, he got wind of Luo Chen needing a secret technique to purge foreign Qi Power and even approached him proactively at the Moon-Breaking Immortal City’s Golden Core exchange event.
This ti, while moving the mountains, Luo Chen had intended to contact another Family Golden Core he had t at the Golden Core Ceremony.
Unexpectedly, Jin Buque volunteered to help.
With all these considerations, it was hard for Luo Chen not to suspect that the other party had so ulterior motive.
But frustratingly, he couldn’t confront him directly, nor could he flat-out refuse his generosity.
"I just fear that these gifts may already have a price marked in the dark!"
"Once I’m settled, I’ll have the Luo Tian Intelligence Net under my command investigate the Five Elents Divine Sect’s information thoroughly. I also need to befriend more High Order Cultivators, to indirectly find out what intentions the Five Elents Divine Sect really has towards !"
A faint fragrance wafted through the air.
The indifferent voice of a woman reached his ears.
"You have built your foundation, what’s troubling you so much?"
Luo Chen turned, looking at the approaching Jueqing Fairy.
He relaxed his frown and shook his head with a smile, "It’s nothing that serious. It’s just that there’s so much to be done and just thinking about it makes wary of the hassle."
"Is there any trouble greater than facing off against Third Order Demon Wolves in battle?" The Jueqing Fairy pulled at the corner of her mouth, her gaze falling on the sowhat out-of-place peaks on either side of Snow Wolf Flat, then slowly drifting away.
"What you really need to worry about are potential Demon Beasts. Although this Spirit Land is on the outer periphery, there’s no guarantee that none will stray here from the battle at the front. A lapse in attention could spell catastrophe for your sect."
The Ice Castle often faced beast calamities and thus had authority on this matter.
Luo Chen took the lesson to heart.
"There’s another thing you should prepare yourself for!"
"Go ahead."
The Jueqing Fairy spoke gravely, "At the very least, this Spirit Land can support the cultivation of six Golden Core Ascendant Masters. If managed well, its future potential may not be less than the Tianshan Spirit Veins of my Ice Castle."
Isn’t that a good thing? Luo Chen didn’t understand the subtext in her words.
The Jueqing Fairy took a deep breath and clarified, "On the front line, those Great Sects are fighting tooth and nail just for a piece of land like this."
"Now you’ve got it easily in hand."
"You don’t think they have thoughts about it, do you?"
Whoosh!
Luo Chen’s expression changed instantly.
"That’s all from ... be careful!" exhorted the Jueqing Fairy as she summoned an ice sword and departed on it.
Watching her frosty figure leave, Luo Chen’s expression fluctuated.
Their exchange hadn’t been concealed from the others.
Thus, Di Wuqi and the others who had previously co to see him off heard everything clearly.
Now all eyes turned to him, filled with unease.
In the end, Luo Chen waved his hand.
"Don’t overthink it. Whether in na or in reality, this Spirit Land was taken by our own hands. If soone takes an interest, we can just take the dispute to the Luo Yun Sect!"
"Let’s allocate the Immortal Mansions and then get to work!"
Di Wuqi and the others exchanged looks, reluctantly accepting the arrangent.
But amidst the worries, there were also reasons to be joyful.
