“So what you’re saying is, you’re not sure either?
“I entered the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion at the Fifth Level Qi Refinement Stage, where I danced every day and never fought. How would I know these things?”
“Heh, what a weakling!”
Luo Chen looked at Gu Caiyi with disdain, which provoked her to glare back in
anger.
But slowly, Gu Caiyi let out a sigh.
“Indeed, I need to familiarize myself with combat tactics. The Broken Mountain Gang is not like the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. There is no strong backing here. We might run into what happened before.
What happened before refers to the conflict between two gangs.
During that time, many people died. Even Broken Blade Xu Renke, who had a fragment of a magical item, was killed on the Dao Debate Platform.
This kind of incident is bound to happen more than once.
In the history of The Great River District, many gangs have emerged.
The Broken Mountain Gang and the Great Lake Gang have just risen in the last hundred years.
But…no backing support?
Luo Chen stroked his chin. Did the Broken Mountain Gang really have no backer?
Probably not!
Walking out of the city, the two chatted about some things in the city. “Speaking of which, since Fu Xiuxiu has gone, the East Wing Room is still vacant. Do you want to move there?
“No thanks, besides being cold, the Reverse Room is not bad after being
refurbished.”
“It’s almost winter, and it will get even colder!
Is it almost winter?
Only then did Luo Chen realize that some of the leaves on the trees beside the streets in the Outer City had started to turn yellow.
Cultivators possess robust constitutions and barely notice temperature fluctuations, unless they are extreme.
Unbeknownst to him, he had gone from midsummer to autumn.
Behind him, two bodyguards followed.
They gradually realized that the route was amiss. The direction Luo Chen was heading in seemed to be not towards the Crescent Valley.
Zhou Yuanli was confused, “Master, where are we going?”
Luo Chen replied with a beaming smile, “I’m heading to the headquarters to see if the Gang Leader is in. I need to speak with him.”
Unfortunately, Mi Shuhua was not present.
In fact, Mi Shuhua wasn’t always at the Broken Mountain Gang.
He had his own social circle and a small cultivation family behind him, the Mi Family.
Old Mi was a Rogue Cultivator, but after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, he branched out and established the Mi Family.
Now, the Mi Family has gained some fame in the vicinity of The Great River District. They are not inferior to some Foundation Establishment Clans that moved here from other districts.
Even because of their control over the Broken Mountain Gang, they are stronger.
For this reason, many Foundation Establishment Clans that have recently relocated come to visit Mi Shuhua voluntarily.
Unable to meet with him, Luo Chen felt somewhat disappointed.
But to verify his suspicion, he has other methods.
Upon returning to Crescent Valley, he practiced four furnaces of Allure Pills in the morning.
Then, instead of hurrying to produce the Jade Marrow Pills, he visited an elder in the Fire Workers division.
As previously mentioned, most of the non-combatants inside the Pill Hall are either elderly or weak.
This elder called Qu Hancheng had the highest cultivation level among them, the Sixth Level Qi Refinement.
He had settled down in The Great River District and had a son and a daughter.
Unfortunately, his children didn’t have Spirit Roots.
He was hoping to have another child or a grandchild with Spirit Roots who could carry on his family’s dream of cultivation.
“Master, you called me for something?”
Qu Hancheng looked at Luo Chen with confusion.
Luo Chen let out a small smile, “I do have something for you, and it’s a good thing! Starting today, you are the leader of our team, in charge of all the cultivators who watch the fire, arranging schedules and shifts. Ah, your monthly salary will be increased by one Spirit Stone. But…”
Hearing the good news, the old man was pumped up.
Watching the fire is exhausting!
Staring at the temperature all the time, adding or reducing firewood, even releasing Fireball Technique if the fire is not strong enough.
It’s okay for a time or two, but after a month he felt like he was going to burn himself.
If he became the team leader, he wouldn’t need to watch the fire personally, he could instruct others.
Of course, he knew well that being the team leader would come with conditions.
The condition lies in the ‘but’.
Looking at Luo Chen as if he were a precious gem, Qu Hancheng felt a bit uncomfortable.
“Master, please be straightforward. If there’s something I can help with, I will try my best.”
“Very simple. Come, follow me!”
Without letting anyone follow, Luo Chen took Qu Hancheng out of Crescent Valley and came to the back of the valley.
Stretching before their eyes was a vast, quiet, wild forest.
Qu Hancheng swallowed, “Master, beyond this point would be the Xiao Yue Mountain Range. There are many Demon Wolves out there, we better not go too close.”
“No worries, right here is fine!”
Luo Chen settled on a spot with a big smile, then he asked, “You know the Fireball Technique?”
“I do!”
-Good, now use your maximum power to cast the Fireball Technique. Cast as many times as you can until your Qi power is exhausted.” “Each Fireball must be infused with your maximum Qi power!
Is it that simple?
Qu Hancheng hesitated for a moment, then followed Luo Chen’s instruction and cast the Fireball Technique.
Luo Chen stood on the side, watching carefully and comparing the difference between his Fireball Technique at its final stage and that of an ordinary cultivator.
Generally speaking, cultivators pay the least attention to developing their techniques.
Yes, techniques do have high destructive power, but they are slow to cast, going through hand seals and incantations, and channeling Qi power to form. Moreover, many techniques are slow to attack even after they are formed. The Fireball Technique, for instance, is considered among the low-level offensive techniques like the Gold Lance Technique and the Water Arrow Technique.
However, the speed of the Fireball Technique has always been its shortcoming. Compared to these techniques, Magic Tools and Talismans are much better. One only needs Qi power to manipulate, and the other is instantly activated. Furthermore, techniques are high on energy consumption. It could affect a cultivator’s accumulation of Qi and their breakthroughs to the higher realm..
