Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster - Chapter 482
Chapter 482: Chapter 208 Some People Change, Some People Can’t Change!_2
Qu Lingjun was taken aback, but naturally responded: “What’s there to get used to?”
Indeed!
For Qu Lingjun, who was naive to the ways of the world, and only understood familial and romantic love, what was there to get used to?
Once he achieved his goal, he would pursue the path of longevity, right?
Luo Chen looked at the teenage boy, who had gradually grown as tall as himself, with a bitter smile.
My disciple!
You don’t know, in this world, there exists something called “power”.
It’s a terrifying force that can make a man abandon countless things.
His gaze shifted to Wang Yuan, giving him a grateful look.
Wang Yuan didn’t care too much about it, as he nodded slightly, and continued to focus on the ongoing auction.
The reason why Luo Chen was “grateful” to Wang Yuan was because he deliberately hinted at something through his words!
Wang Haichao didn’t hesitate to spend a lot to stay in the Taishan District because he wanted to maintain his control over the Great Lake Gang, didn’t he? If they changed places, could the Great Lake Gang still exist?
How many of these rogue cultivators coming out of The Great River District would be willing to leave their hometowns to follow him?
Without blood ties, without Luo Chen’s prestige, it was already very difficult for him to unite these people and bring them to the Taishan District.
Therefore, if he wanted to enjoy the taste of power, he would have to stay here!
Perhaps, his original intention was just to use the Great Lake Gang to collect resources for him.
But gradually, he became obsessed with it.
He changed!
Conversely, weren’t he himself going through the same process?
Or rather, isn’t he now in the early stages of what Wang Haichao once was!
Currently, the Luo Tian Creed indeed was useful to him and very much so.
But what about the future?
When he accumulated enough wealth to dedicate himself fully to cultivation, could he let go of his habit of enjoying power?
Luo Chen found it hard to imagine whether he would change in the future.
Wang Yuan, on the other hand, was already planning for that moment.
People are different.
Luo Chen in his past life was just a social cattle, aside from the occasional command of teammates in games, he rarely tasted the flavor of power.
But now, he genuinely enjoyed the scene where hundreds of people saluted him with just a wave of his hand.
He enjoyed the moment when the Luo Tian Creed cultivators shouted in unison: “Chairman, it’s time to board!”
Therefore!
In the future, he might really get lost in it.
But Wang Yuan was different.
He came from the world of martial arts, fought his way to the top, and even formed his own martial arts sect.
But for the Path of Immortal, for the sake of becoming powerful,
He still resolutely abandoned his peak status in the secular world and chose to come to The Great River District, starting from the lowest rank of the rogue cultivators.
Once Luo Chen let him manage the Luo Tian Creed in his stead, he showed impatience.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t manage it, but he felt it would interfere with his own cultivation.
He was an experienced person!
“He is a friend, a big brother, and also a mentor who always guides me on the path of cultivation.”
Luo Chen suppressed his complex emotions, looked gratefully at Wang Yuan, and returned his attention to the auction.
“Next, it’s time for the Spirit Medicine Hall’s auction phase.”
“What they’re going to auction is… the Foundation Establishment Pill!”
Huo Hu’s voice trailed off for a moment.
However, the moment his words fell, the thousands of rogue cultivators in the field all held their breath.
Their burning gazes were as if they were about to melt him.
Huo Hu moistened his mouth, waved his hand, and the red cloth on the table was unfolded, revealing three conspicuous jade bottles.
“There’re three in total, to be auctioned separately.”
“The starting bid is a thousand Spirit Stones for each, and each increase must not be less than one hundred.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, please!”
The moment his words were said,
The surging shouts of bidding were like a stormy wave, crashing against the shores.
One thousand and one!
One thousand and two!
Two thousand!
Three thousand!
Without any hesitation, the price skyrocketed.
Not only the rogue cultivators, but also heavy panting could be heard from the private boxes of various Foundation Establishment Forces.
Inside the box of the Great Lake Gang,
Min Longyu’s eyes lit up, “Gang Leader!”
Wang Haichao gave him a glance, “Wait and see, I don’t recommend bidding on the first pill, the price will definitely get inflated.”
Min Longyu opened his mouth, but then suppressed his urgent emotions.
The other party was not wrong.
Meanwhile, in the box of the Luo Tian Creed,
Luo Chen was deep in thought.
The Huo Family was indeed extraordinary, the Spirit Medicine Hall was giving considerable face for their first auction.
Although it wasn’t like the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion in the Great River District, who casually brought out five Foundation Establishment Pills, three were not a small number either.
But what caught his interest was that the number was so small.
This meant there’s no chance for the various Foundation Establishment forces to split the loot.
Therefore, that also meant… he who bids first gets it!
Turning back, Luo Chen looked at the Luo Tian Creed cultivators.
Ten cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refinement!
Among them, people close to the finalization of Qi refinement were Sima Huiniang, Murong Qinglian, Duan Feng, and a rogue cultivator named Bian Zhen who joined three years ago.
Apart from them, it would only take Qin Liangchen and Sima Xian a few more years of painstaking cultivation to reach the finalization of Qi Refinement.
Additionally, Gu Caiyi, Zhou Yuanli, Liu Qiang, and Su Xiaolin were all relatively young.
In the future, they could likely establish their foundations.
All of these people must be longing for a Foundation Establishment Pill, right!
Even Qin Liangchen and his wife, who already possessed a pill, wouldn’t find it superfluous.
Under Luo Chen’s sweeping gaze, the breathing of all ten people became heavier.
They looked at Luo Chen. Their lips moved as if they wanted to speak, but they held back.
Luo Chen smiled.
“You all shouldn’t even try, you won’t be able to compete.”
“There are three Foundation Establishment Pills, I’ll bid for one of them for you!”
“When the time comes, whoever refines the Qi to finalization first can buy it from me at the original price.”
After speaking, he abruptly turned around.
