“The Qi rushes heavenward, the mind guards the heart field, what does this mean?”
The effect of the Qi Nurturing Pill is becoming worse, should I switch to Dusting Pills?”
“Tsk tsk, I ran into a monkey the day before yesterday. It could speak human language even though it was only first order. It must have eaten a Tongue Grass. A Tongue Grass is worth five hundred Spirit Stones, it’s a waste for such a beast to consume it.”
In the Bright Moon Hall, a group of monks were seated around.
Before everyone had arrived, they were chatting with each other.
Some were exchanging cultivation experiences, others were sharing recent observations.
Rogue cultivators rarely experience this kind of atmosphere.
Only in some Sect families does this atmosphere exist. After a hundred years of operation, the Broken Mountain Gang has gradually cultivated this vibe.
While they were chatting, a loud laugh came from outside the hall.
“Friends, did Xiao Luo arrive late?”
Accompanied by a hearty laugh, a tall and handsome man stepped into the hall.
Whether it was because he had been reading scrolls recently, or because he had been refining pills habitually over the years, his face, framed by his moon-white robe, exuded a detached and elegant demeanor.
Following Luo Chen were Sikong Shoujia and Gu Caiyi, who were pacing respectfully behind him.
The two followed him like protectors and stepped into the Bright Moon Hall.
At the head of the hall, Mi Shuhua opened his eyes and nodded at him.
Luo Chen also nodded and sat down in the chair nearest to the door and at the end of the row.
Gu Caiyi obediently stood behind him.
Sikong Shoujia, however, sat at the front, second only to Mi Shuhua.
After throwing a glance at Luo Wudi, Zeng Wen, Zhang Shicong and others, Luo Chen winked at Wang Yuan.
“Now that everyone is here, let’s start this month’s gang meeting!”
After saying this, Mi Shuhua turned to look in Luo Wudi’s direction.
As the head of the three Battle Halls, Luo Wudi had the right to speak for Zeng Wen and Yang Wei.
I won’t go into detail about last month’s earnings and losses since those are all recorded in the Merits Hall. Instead, I’ll only speak about one thing!”
There’s a new gang in The Great River District, and they have started to infringe on our interests.”
“As for this gang, we need the Gang Leader to make a decision on our attitude towards them.”
After musing for a moment, Mi Shuhua slowly said, “You’re referring to the Xuan Yihui, right?”
“The Gang Leader knows?” Luo Wudi raised an eyebrow.
After nodding, Ml Shuhua said, “This gang was established by the collaboration of the Duan Family, the Nangong Family, and three other Foundation Establishment families.”
Five Foundation Establishment families!
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up.
“The Xuan Yihui doesn’t recruit many Rogue Cultivators. Its main members are from the younger generation of the five Foundation Establishment families. The establishment of the gang provides these younger generations an opportunity for tests of battle within the mountains.”
“If we run into them in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range, try to avoid conflict with them as much as possible.”
On the contrary, if they have hunted Demon Beasts, you can buy them directly at a low price. If they don’t agree, just let it go.”
Upon hearing this, everyone felt more at ease.
The young members of clans are different from rogue cultivators. Although they also view resources as important, they are not as obsessed about every little advantage as the rogue cultivators are.
In contrast, sometimes they only kill beasts to hone their combat skills.
As for Luo Wudi’s mention of encroaching on interests, in reality, it’s just minor friction.
In Mi Shuhua’s view, this wasn’t worth mentioning as long as it didn’t escalate. Besides, the presence of other gangs would increase the solidarity among the Broken Mountain Gang cultivators and incentivize them to act more in groups.
The earnings of the Beast Hall have fallen this month, Ke Yuelin, what’s the matter?”
Not Mi Shuhua, but Mi Junping asked this question.
Ke Yuehn’s face was sullen, “A Demon Roc came out of nowhere and snatched few sheep. It also made a hole in the Beast Field, causing a batch of Black Shu Pigs that hadn’t been tamed yet to run away.”
The Beast Field of the Broken Mountain Gang was established in a large canyon at the border of the Ancient Plains Mountain Range. The primarily reared beasts were sheep and Black Shu Pigs, and small numbers of buffaloes, Qing Mountain foxes, and Fu Zhu Deer.
Usually, the beasts that the Broken Mountain Gang cultivators hunted alive would be kept in the Beast Field if they had potential to be tamed.
For instance, the Spirit Fish Lake, owned by the couple Qin Liangchen, also came under the jurisdiction of the Beast Hall.
That is to say, in terms of income, the Beast Hall measures next only to the three Battle Hall Kous and the Medicine Hall.
Compared to the Mining Hall and the newly established Jiao Hall and Pill Hall, it is much stronger.
More so, a place like this could accommodate a large number of scattered cultivators with lower levels of cultivation and no combat capabilities.
Hearing this, Mi Shuhua refrained from blaming him.
After further questioning and finding out that it was only a first-order Demon
Roc, he decided to arrange a time to address the issue.
Next, the Mining Hall, the Medicine Hall, and even Wang Yuan’s Jiao Hall reported their respective situations.
Among these, the Mining Hall suffered heavy losses.
The reason being the excavation of a den of poisonous snakes in a mine tunnel, causing most of the cultivators to die on the spot.
It seemed that mining was indeed a dangerous task since ancient times!
Finally, it was the Pill Hall’s turn.
Under everyone’s attentive gaze, Luo Chen shrugged.
“Why are you looking at me? I only take care of refining pills. Procurement of raw materials and sale of pills are managed by Elder Sikong and the Merits Hall.”
With this explanation, everyone had no choice but to shift their attention to the other two people.
Sikong Shoujia looked awkward, “I’ll tell it like it is. The team protecting the pills now has thirty people, and the Pill Hall currently can’t afford their salaries.”
What he meant was that he didn’t want to take care of these people’s food and drink expenses anymore.
Mi Shuhua shook his head, “No need to cancel them. Let these people go back to doing their old jobs in their spare time. But the number of people can’t be reduced, in fact, it may increase in the future.”
Sikong Shoujia looked helpless. With this group of people around, the Spirit Stones he received each month were significantly fewer..
