All thanks to killing and seizing treasures!
In the past, when Luo Chen painstakingly managed his business, his wealth never exceeded thirty million.
Although now he is imnsely wealthy, so of the Top Grade Spirit Stones and Ascendant Grade Spirit Stones are strategic resources and won’t be casually used for transactions.
In comparison, Fu Chaosheng seems wealthy, but he has a large clan to support, and needs resources to nurture his granddaughter in the Early Nascent Soul Stage.
Bringing out thirty million all at once is quite a strain for him.
After a mont’s reflection, Luo Chen straightforwardly said, "Since this matter began because of , I should be responsible for it. I will provide the Spirit Stones."
Fu Chaosheng was taken aback, even though he knew Luo Chen was quite wealthy, he didn’t expect the other party to be so upright.
"That’s not very appropriate, after all, you were invited by ..."
"There’s nothing inappropriate about it; we are partners. Besides the content of our cooperation, I don’t want to trouble you too much."
Fu Chaosheng instinctively nodded.
But soon, he realized.
If he doesn’t want to trouble excessively, conversely, he also doesn’t want to trouble him too much beyond our cooperation.
"How about you provide half the Spirit Stones, and I’ll cover the rest. Don’t refuse; this matter is also partly my fault for not giving adequate notice. Additionally, when my Fu clan mbers co to clean up the Underground Palace, the accumulated Dragon Qiu blood can be recycled and supplented."
Luo Chen gave a surprised look at Fu Chaosheng but didn’t insist further.
It’s important to maintain a balance in relationships, half and half, ensuring harmony without becoming too entangled.
Upon leaving Star Island, Fu Chaosheng subconsciously looked back at the location of the Underground Palace.
"Just returned to Zhongzhou and already facing a disaster; this on seems quite unlucky."
...
On taking his first step into Zhongzhou, Luo Chen could vaguely sense the differences from the Eastern Wasteland and North Sea.
Firstly, it was the omnipresent Heaven and Earth Qi!
The abundance level, even on a re deserted path, was at a First Order Level.
In human clan gatherings, it was at the Second Order Level.
The Third Order Spirit Vein that Luo Chen once desperately sought, even going so far as to participate in open war to obtain, he saw over a dozen of them during a half-day journey!
One can imagine, in such a Qi environnt, Fourth Order Spirit Veins might also be common.
This discovery imnsely shocked not only Luo Chen but also the two Nascent Soul True Masters, Winter Mountain Hermit from North Sea and Lu Qiuzhen.
Could there be such a huge gap between Zhongzhou and the other Four Continents?
Aside from this, another peculiarity was also noted by Luo Chen.
In his Divine Consciousness scan, he saw many Foundation Establishnt and Golden Core Cultivators.
Unlike the cautious and guarded encounters between Cultivators from other Great Continents, these individuals, even if clearly not from the sa family, were relatively harmonious.
This marvel, Luo Chen could only attribute to Zhongzhou having only the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.
Besides these, the clothing styles with little variation, and the simple architectural styles based on black and white tones, were trivial compared to the forr two.
On the Fu Family Flying Boat, Fu Chaosheng briefly introduced so basic aspects of Zhongzhou to the three of them.
"Unlike the sect-managed Immortal Domain divisions of Eastern Wasteland, or the many rogue cultivators in the Immortal Islands of North Sea, the situation in Zhongzhou is very simple."
"Throughout Zhongzhou, there are countless clans, but only one Sect, the Tianyuan Daoist Sect!"
"Tianyuan Daoist Sect is not only the sole Sect in Zhongzhou but also the common leader of all clans in Zhongzhou, and it is the most powerful force in the world!"
"If you can join the Star Gate, it is our Sect’s generosity, and your honor!"
Unlike his usual cheerful deanor, Fu Chaosheng at this mont showed a rare trace of pride.
It was the pride of being the heir of the world’s foremost Holy Land.
This pride gave him unshakable confidence whether facing genuine and demonic paths of North Sea, Late Stage Nascent Soul Demon Monk Kongchan, or Luo Chen and the other two before him.
Ordinarily, he had to be affable with everyone due to his business dealings.
But now, he was no longer a businessman, but the descendant of the Daoist Sect, not needing to carefully ensure harmony for the sake of profit.
"The Star Gate is located in the central area of Zhongzhou, established atop Heaven and Earth Peak."
"Winter Mountain Hermit, you hold the recomndation order from Elder Shen, Daoist Friend Lu, you carry my recomndation order, bring your clan mbers and disciples, and pass smoothly to the destination. By then, the Star Gate elders will send people for auditing."
"Friend Luo, accompany back to the Fu Family. The subsequent matters, I have arrangents of my own."
Fu Chaosheng made arrangents for the upcoming itinerary.
Luo Chen had no objections.
The other two exchanged a glance, each expressing gratitude to Fu Chaosheng for accompanying them on this journey as they parted ways.
Once they left, the prideful expression on Fu Chaosheng’s face instantly faded, reverting to his previous deanor.
"Sorry to have embarrassed you."
Luo Chen shook his head, "It’s fine, after all, they are not traveling the sa path as us."
Indeed, they were not fellow travelers.
Those two were considerably older and did not et the criteria for entering Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, leaving first but only able to stop at Heaven and Earth Peak.
Luo Chen was different, he was qualified to be the Protector of Daoist Sect disciples, to enter Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.
And according to Fu Chaosheng, such people, even by joining Heaven and Earth Peak, will have much greater chances of subsequently becoming Sacrificial Officials, or even Elders of Heaven and Earth Peak.
Luo Chen, curious about the things he had observed, simply asked about them.
