"The heavy losses suffered by sects like Ghost God Valley are not unique. There are also others like the Ming Emperor Sect, Haoran..."
"Stop, stop, stop, you’re getting off track!"
Luo Chen interrupts Sikong Shoujia’s lengthy discourse, driving straight at the crux of the matter.
"Didn’t everyone from Ghost God Valley perish when their camp was destroyed? How could soone have made it to the Ancient Plains Mountain Range, thousands of miles away, to set up an array?"
Sikong Shoujia spreads his hands, "How should I know? In any case, we didn’t find the body of the Supre Elder of Ghost God Valley back then. Everyone felt that he hadn’t died. It wasn’t until Ghost God Valley had declined, and the Supre Elder never returned, that everyone thought he might have been eaten by the demon beasts."
"But looking at it now, that Supre Elder managed to escape into the Ancient Plains Mountain Range."
Through his explanation, everyone finally understood.
As it turns out, the Heavenly Craft Qi Snatching Array is a top-tier third-order array, which can only be set up by a Golden Core Array Grandmaster.
If given sufficient ti, its power could rival even a fourth-order array, capable of resisting a Fourth Order Beast Emperor without much trouble.
Moreover, this array has a unique feature!
It doesn’t forcefully require Spirit Stones for the formation. Instead, it can draw on the earth’s veins and absorb free Heaven and Earth Qi from the surroundings.
Even after many years, the array can remain intact.
For this reason, so have speculated that the ruins discovered in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range are the place where a Golden Core Ascendant Master from Ghost God Valley reached the end of his lifespan."
"It is said that so of our gang mbers were lucky enough to enter the outer edge of the array and found several stalks of spirit grass more than five hundred years old. There might even be thousand-year spirit grass in the inner part!"
Sikong Shoujia marvels at this, eager to explore.
Soone nearby, confused, asks, "Wasn’t this supposed to have happened four hundred years ago? How are there heavenly treasures that are five hundred, even a thousand years old?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, everyone else looked at him as if he were a fool.
He seed flustered for a mont, then understood, his face blushing intensely.
The Supre Elder of Ghost God Valley might have passed away four hundred years ago, but not everything in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range is only four hundred years old.
Under the protection of the array, all the resources inside could have safely grown for an even longer period.
Nothing to say of items being a thousand years old—they could be even tens of thousands of years old.
"Wait, are you implying that our Broken Mountain Gang discovered those ruins?" Luo Chen inferred this from the elderly man’s words.
Sikong Shoujia nodded, "Of course! The Ancient Plains Mountain Range has always been our main area of activity. It’s perfectly normal for mbers of our gang to be the first to discover such large-scale ruins."
With these words, the cultivators from the Pill and dicine Halls were all fired up.
If the Broken Mountain Gang discovered these ruins, then shouldn’t the spoils belong to them?
They, as mbers of the gang, should at least be entitled to a share, right?
Even if they couldn’t get a share, they could apply to explore the area and should enjoy the advantage of having a head start.
For a mont, all the cultivators in both halls were excited.
Seeing this, Luo Chen, who was also a bit excited at first, started to calm down.
No wall is without cracks, and the Broken Mountain Gang isn’t so unimpeachable powerhouse sect.
Now that even they knew, how much longer until the whole Great River District knew?
Perhaps those with a bit more access to information already knew!
And when it ca to the ruins of a Golden Core Ascendant Master, especially the place where an elder passed away, the amount of treasures that might be found there, was simply unimaginable.
This feast was likely to be out of reach for common rogue cultivators like them.
Luo Chen’s calm did not an everyone else could keep their cool.
Especially in the following two days, the news coming out of the Ancient Plains Mountain Range beca increasingly incredible, setting everyone abuzz.
Li Mountain Seeds, second-order spirit fruit seeds that assist Foundation Establishnt Cultivators in their cultivation, especially effective for cultivators of the Earth Path.
Eight-Hundred Year Heavenly Root, a main ingredient for Foundation Establishnt Pills. High in age and almost as powerful as a common lower-grade Foundation Establishnt Pill.
Direct consumption can increase one’s chances of Foundation Establishnt by twenty percent.
If refined into a Foundation Establishnt Pill by a Pill Refinent Grandmaster, it would at the very least yield a dium-grade Foundation Establishnt Pill, increasing the chance of successful Foundation Establishnt from the lower-grade’s thirty percent to forty percent!
Besides these two types of spirit grass, there were also a variety of valuable dicinal herbs such as Purple Monkey Flowers, Yin Scale Grass, and others.
These items alone were enough to tantalize everyone.
But these were rely naturally grown heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It’s said that the Supre Elder had taken most of Ghost God Valley’s assets into this Open War.
Inside, there could be resources for Foundation Establishnt Pills, and even Core Formation.
Under such heavy profits, The Great River District was in an uproar.
Every day, thousands of cultivators flooded into the Ancient Plains Mountain Range.
The threat of demon beasts had been completely tossed out of their minds.
Luo Chen had been watching the situation unfold, but didn’t expect the impact of the Golden Core relics to spread to his Crescent Valley as well.
Standing on the cliff platform, Luo Chen’s gaze landed on the valley beneath him.
Luo Wudi was negotiating with Murong Qinglian.
Their conversation was open and unhidden, and any cultivator who paid a little attention could hear what they were saying.
"The dicine Hall will send fifty people with into the mountains to identify and excavate Spirit dicine and Spirit Grass."
"That’s too many, taking away so many at once, the dicine Hall won’t be able to maintain normal operations."
"It’s not too many, and the cultivators can retain 30% of the profit from the Spirit Grass they find."
"But, there are already so many people going to that relic, it’s very dangerous."
"Danger?"
Luo Wudi’s gaze fell on the cultivators watching them, chuckling softly.
"Then ask them if they’re willing to go?"
Looking at the eager cultivators of the dicine Hall, Murong Qinglian couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.
"Fine, do as you please!"
Luo Wudi clapped his hands, "Those who want to go, co register with . Those with higher cultivation will be chosen first!"
In an instant, an estimated eighty percent of the dicine Hall’s cultivators rushed towards him, each one hoping they would be chosen.
Luo Chen watched it all disinterestedly.
When he turned back, he found a group of Pill Hall cultivators watching below with fiery gazes.
"What are you looking at!"
Suddenly, a roar sounded.
Luo Chen stared at them coldly, "A bunch of won and old n, do you really want to go and court death?"
Most of the people fell silent.
But a few were still quietly mumbling complaints about blocking one’s path, comparing it to killing one’s parents and such.
It was Luo ’Er Duo!
Luo Wudi’s nephew.
"Those who want to leave, get lost quickly. As the Hall Master, I won’t stop you!"
"But once you leave this door today, don’t ever co back!"
The mont his words fell, Luo ’Er Duo couldn’t wait and flew down into the valley below.
A few other cultivators also hesitated before leaving the Pill Hall.
"You...sigh!"
The one sighing was Qu Hancheng, because the ones who left were mostly fire workers and those with higher cultivation bases.
Seeing Luo Chen’s anger hadn’t subsided, Qu Hancheng could only give a bitter smile.
With the team broken up, it’s hard to manage.
"Hall Master...."
"What, you want to go too?" Luo Chen turned his head irritably.
Qu Hancheng said anxiously, "I’m old and have several juniors to take care of, I can’t just leave. But, with so people gone, do we still have people to refine the pills this afternoon?"
Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief, patting him on the shoulder in comfort.
"Of course! How can we not proceed!"
"Not only do we have to refine pills, but we need to refine in large quantities! Specialize! Increase!"
"By then, as they fight life and death, we will calmly refine pills. Mi Li, Tang Quan, stop researching the Allure Pill for now, I have another task for you, increase the production of Fasting Elixir."
"Later, Elder Sikong will send people to set up stalls at the entrances and exits of the Ancient Plains Mountain Range, and although they get to eat the at, we won’t miss out on the soup!"
As soon as his words ca out, everyone in the Pill Hall was stunned.
The smarter ones, like Gu Caiyi, Sikong Shoujia and others, their eyes lit up with realization.
