After returning to Tianlan Peak, Luo Chen’s days seed to return to their previous calm, without significant ups and downs.
He spent his days cultivating in seclusion, rarely interacting with others.
Occasionally, Wang Yuan would visit to discuss matters concerning "The Flow of All Things" with him.
However, just because he did not venture outside did not an he was unconcerned with the outside world.
With the Luo Tian Intelligence Net operating at full capacity, a large amount of intelligence would be delivered to Luo Chen’s hands every so often.
After Luo Tian Creed decided to abandon expansion and instead digest the gains from the battlefield, those previous enemies who had contended with Luo Tian Creed or hidden thorns in the dark were caught off guard and suddenly erged.
They had powerful backers and felt they had strong support on their side, so they acted more and more unrestrained.
Incidents targeting Luo Tian Creed occurred from ti to ti.
In response, Sima Huiniang departed from her usual style. Apart from sending elites to guard a few rchant groups under her command, she instructed the rest to endure as much as possible.
The outside world simply thought Luo Tian Creed had cowed under the pressure of the Fla Alliance.
Even inside the Luo Tian Creed, there were those who expressed their dissatisfaction.
But only Sima Huiniang knew that they had to wait for an opportunity.
Although the enemies were scattered, they were formidable. If Luo Tian Creed actively attacked to break each one individually, it would likely get caught up and hinder its own progress.
Getting bogged down in a quagmire.
It was better to wait for the enemies to unite before sweeping them away in one fell swoop.
Before this opportunity arose, Luo Tian Creed’s objective was to enhance the strength of its inner cultivators as much as possible.
Under Sima Huiniang’s instruction, Murong Qinglian led the rit Hall to assess and evaluate the rits of all late-stage Qi Refinent cultivators within Luo Tian Creed.
From them, candidates suitable for Foundation Establishnt Seed cultivation were selected to receive Foundation Establishnt Pills.
Before long, a list was laid before Luo Chen.
[Law Enforcent Elder of the Combat Hall, Zhou Yuanli, Battle Cultivator Liu Qiang, Gui Jiang]
[Sima Zhen from the Spirit dicine Hall, Feng Xia]
[rit Hall’s Chief Auditor, Sima Wenjie]
[External Sect Elder, Xu Xiao Liu.]
...
Each na was followed by a detailed list of their contributions to Luo Tian Creed over the years.
The amount of rits involved indicated the level of Foundation Establishnt resources they could exchange for.
But to appear on the list at all ant that at the very least, they would receive a Foundation Establishnt Pill!
After Luo Chen reviewed the list, he found no issues, except he made a special notation for Zhou Yuanli.
"Maximize resource allocation, provide him with two Foundation Establishnt Pills, and allow him to borrow any Foundation Establishnt insights from Luo Tian Creed at will."
Sima Huiniang had no objections to this extra favor.
Zhou Yuanli was different from the others.
He had been serving as Luo Chen’s guard since the latter’s vulnerable younger days.
Though he had never saved Luo Chen’s life, he had been steadfastly loyal during many monts of crisis, earning Luo Chen’s deep trust.
He was also relatively down-to-earth and upright, decisive in his actions when t with situations.
Over the years, the control of the Law Enforcent Hall had always been entrusted to him, which showed how much he was valued by Luo Chen.
"All these individuals are at the Qi Refinent Stage Finalization and can attempt Foundation Establishnt at any ti."
"Additionally, there is another list of nas, those with sufficient rits, but who are relatively lower in realm, having recently advanced to the Ninth Level of the Qi Refinent Stage."
"I plan to focus on nurturing one or two of them as Foundation Establishnt Seed cultivators."
The Great Sects select the best among the Foundation Establishnt True Disciples to be Golden Core Seed Cultivators.
Now, Luo Tian Creed is starting to do sothing similar.
But they are called Foundation Establishnt Seeds instead.
The cultivators selected are also late-stage Qi Refinent disciples.
As Sima Huiniang spoke, she handed another list to Luo Chen.
Luo Chen looked down and saw his disciple’s na at the first glance.
[Qu Lingjun of Pill Hall, 33 years old, newly entered the Ninth Level of Qi Refinent Stage. rits: For years, he has crafted elixirs for Luo Tian Creed, earning Spirit Stones. He has made significant contributions to the developnt of Luo Tian Creed. Under his leadership, the Pill Hall now has so scale, with five first-order Pill Refiners, thirty Fire Workers, dicine Disciples... Evaluation: Top grade!]
Seeing this na, Luo Chen could not help but sigh.
The once naive boy had, unknowingly, reached the age of thirty-three.
With the poor talent of Quadruple Spirit Roots, and being generously supplied with resources, he had steadily reached the Ninth Level of the Qi Refinent Stage.
Although it was much slower compared to his peer, Qin Yuanjiang, for a Rogue Cultivator, it was extrely challenging.
"But it seems that Hall Master Qu is not in a rush to establish his foundation?"
"Oh?" Luo Chen looked up, surprised.
Sima Huiniang said with interest, "After Elder Li returned from the battlefield, he grew quite close to Qu Lingjun, often personally guiding his cultivation. He says Qu Lingjun’s talent may be poor, but his determination is steadfast, and given his young age, there’s no need to hurry."
"Not only that, he has modified the family’s secret technique ’Nine Returnals of Origin’ and developed a new thod called ’Three Origin Integration Technique,’ which he personally taught to Qu Lingjun."
"According to Elder Li, having Quadruple Spirit Roots doesn’t prevent one from climbing The Great Dao Path. As long as the foundation is solid enough, with sufficient external resources to follow..."
Li Yingzhang, huh?
Luo Chen contemplated montarily.
It was after his return from the battlefield that Li Yingzhang began to do this, especially after Luo Chen’s entrapnt in the Divine Transformation Relics. His care for Qu Lingjun beca even more profound, and the ’Three Origin Integration Technique’ was also given out during that ti.
Is this a case of reciprocity?
Because Luo Chen had saved him, and unable to repay him directly, he channeled his profound gratitude toward his disciple instead?
Perhaps this was a case of "loving the house and its crow"!
"Furthermore, these past years Qu Lingjun has been seeking treatnts for Mi Li, frequently bringing Mi Li to visit Sun Shengshou."
