BXBX NOVEL Chapter 65 - 65: Joining a Gang is Not Just About
Translator: 549690339
“Physical Cultivator!”
“Brother Wang, you are actually a Physical Cultivator! ”
Crowds retreated from the stage continuously from various exits.
Luo Chen was brimming with excitement and admiration, following the crowd from the Broken Mountain Gang.
Wang Yuan maintained his indifferent demeanor, as if he was not the one who had confidently claimed victory under the watchful gaze of the masses earlier. The members of the gang around him, like Luo Chen, occasionally glanced at him with admiration.
Body Refiners were called Physical Cultivators in ancient times, and they were as famous as Qi Refiners.
However, as the times changed, and with the rapid advancements in magic tools, magic items, and talisman arrays, the influence of Physical Cultivators dwindled.
Nowadays, the few cultivators displaying strong physical techniques are only those with dual cultivation.
The slightly more authentic ones are simply referred to as Body Cultivators.
Even so, Body Cultivation is not a field that Rogue Cultivators can touch.
The resources required for refining the body are not something that ordinary people can withstand.
Nobody expected that Wang Yuan would silently embark on this path.
However, based on what we see now, he is not walking the pure path of a Physical Cultivator, as his fighting techniques still contain many traces of cultivators.
In response to Luo Chen’s amazement, Wang Yuan sighed.
Luo Chen was puzzled and asked curiously, “Brother Wang, why are you sighing? You won, and you won so resoundingly that your name was even left on the Sky Pride List.”
Zeng Wen, who was standing by, also said with a laugh, “Yeah, maybe after you leave Luo Feng Mountain, there will be Sword Cultivators from the Yu Ding Sword Sect, inviting you to join them.”
Wang Yuan only shook his head.
He glanced at Luo Chen, “Follow me back to the headquarters later, as my only brother, it is time for the others to recognize you.”
“Uh huh.”
Luo Chen nodded again and again, he was not afraid of Gao Tingyuan at this moment.
He has a support, a background now!
Brother Wang is strong, so strong that he can easily crush a Demonic Cultivator who is comparable to a Sword Cultivator.
The Broken Mountain Gang is also strong. After this battle with five wins and four losses, they are probably about to usher in a new rapid development.
It’s very good, he, Luo Chen, can also ride on this advantage.
For a long time, Luo Chen has suffered from being alone and powerless.
On the path of cultivation, there was no one to guide him or provide support, which made his journey extremely difficult.
He also thought about joining the Immortal Cultivation Clans or Sect powers, but he was afraid of becoming a tool for others to use.
But now things are different.
Although Wang Yuan, his big brother is somewhat indifferent, he handles affairs with a great deal of grace and vision.
With his backing, plus with some of his own little tricks, it should not be difficult to thrive!
During these thoughts, a group of people left Luo Feng Mountain and came outside the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion in the Inner City.
As soon as they stepped out, they were met with a scene of uproar.
“Seven hundred, I won seven hundred Spirit Stones!”
“I’m rich now, I’m so rich.”
“What a Heart-devouring Tiger, I shouldn’t have gone all in!”
“The Broken Mountain Gang won, I lost, I’m afraid I’ll have to go mine for the Li Family from now on.”
Years of savings gone in a day, wuwuwu.”
“Wang Yuan, you won’t die a good death!”
The man closest to them, holding his betting stub, wept bitterly and cursed Wang Yuan.
By coincidence, Wang Yuan was right next to him.
The man, who was cursing, was forced to shut his mouth, tried to squeeze a smile, but ended up looking uglier than a weep.
Luo Chen had no sympathy at this moment.
Those who gamble deserve to die.
He, who believed in Big Brother the most, didn’t even place a bet.
Small hills and streams, lush woods.
A series of bamboo and wooden houses were scattered around like stars.
In the very center, there was a giant pavilion.
In front of the pavilion, the bluestone-paved square was half the size of the
Dao Debate Platform.
This was Luo Chen’s first time visiting the Broken Mountain Gang.
The scene in front of him made him feel like the setting was off.
Shouldn’t it be a fortress with watchtowers, lined with various weapons, showcasing the might of a powerful gang?
Why does it seem so peaceful?
Considering this was an Immortal Cultivator’s domain, he realized it was natural after all.
Fighting and killing were for earning cultivation resources outside.
At home, of course, there should be an atmosphere for the cultivators to meditate in peace.
Following Wang Yuan and others into the headquarters, he didn’t say anything, but just curiously looked around.
During this time, Uncle Mi Shuhua appeared to arrange the funeral and aftermath for the fallen cultivators, then he hurriedly disappeared again.
Apparently, he went to have dealings with the people from the Great Lake Gang, discussing the handover of waterway transportation.
It wasn’t until evening that Uncle Mi Shuhua returned to the headquarters with much excitement.
A feast was set, drinks were poured, all to celebrate the success!
Table after table of spirit qi-filled dishes were served, and those qualified to join the feast were almost all late-stage Qi Refiners.
There were over 200 people.
There were a few at the middle stage of Qi Refinement like Luo Chen, mostly relatives of the gang members.
Although he stood out in the crowd, he didn’t seem out of place.
Many people knew he was Protector Wang Yuan’s junior brother.
Today, Wang Yuan won the final battle, establishing himself as a great contributor to the Broken Mountain Gang. Everyone was willing to give face to him.
Of course, they would also extend courtesy to Luo Chen out of respect for his relationship with Wang Yuan.
The celebration lasted until late into the night.
As Uncle Ml Shuhua was calling for an internal meeting, Luo Chen couldn’t stay any longer.
Wang Yuan approached him, “Are you going back to the Inner City, or staying with me for the night?”
Do you even need to ask? Who would stroll under the moonlight in the middle of the night?
Although there had been patrols in the Outer City district before, now that the grand opening of the gang has ended, it was said that the Golden Core Ascendant Master from Yu Ding Sword Sect would soon return to the Sect.
Given this, it was uncertain whether the patrols of the Outer City would still continue.
“Brother, early to bed, early to rise. I’ll spend the night at your place!” Luo Chen said.
“Scram!”
Wang Yuan smirked and left with a curse.
After he left, under the guidance of a gang member, Luo Chen headed to the residence where Wang Yuan stayed.
“Usually, Protector Wang doesn’t live here, he only rests here occasionally when he has some gang matters to attend to.”
“What’s your name, friend?”
Luo Chen looked cheerfully at the man in front of him, who was a Fourth Level Qi Refinement cultivator, one stage lower than him.
Such folks, in the talent-filled Broken Mountain Gang, belonged to the lower echelons, and had conditions slightly better than those in the early stage of Qi Refinement.
”1 am Lu Yanzai.”
Luo Chen shook his hands warmly, “How lucky to meet you, Mr. Lu!”
Lu Yanzai was a bit unaccustomed to such a warm cultivator. He felt it was awkward whether he pulled his hand away or not.
This was Protector Wang’s only junior brother!
No one had expected that Wang Yuan, who used to handle dirty work for the Broken Mountain Gang, would rise so rapidly.
First, he performed miracles in the conflict with the Great Lake Gang. Then, he was promoted to Protector status. Now, he became famous by publicly killing a demonic cultivator.
He even got a place on the Sky Pride List created by Dao Debate Platform.
Luo Chen didn’t let him feel embarrassed for long; he soon withdrew his hands. As they walked, he started asking about the Broken Mountain Gang.
“The Broken Mountain Gang is so prosperous, you guys must be leading a good life too, right?”
“The glory belongs to Protector Wang and Hall Master Luo. We ordinary rogue cultivators are just here for warmth, hoping to cultivate peacefully.” “Aren’t there regular hunting expeditions to the mountains? With experts protecting, you should have a decent harvest, right?”
“It’s okay, enough for a living. But the demon beasts in the mountains are increasingly ferocious. When we encounter second-order demon beasts, we often suffer heavy losses. If luck is against us and we come across a third-order demon beast, it’s basically a total annihilation.”
Luo Chen’s eyelids twitched at the news.
Turns out, life in the Broken Mountain Gang is not easy either!
Only the high-ranking members can enjoy the glory, while it’s the small fries like him who have to face potential dangers.
If he joined them, he feared he would have to participate in such things. This won’t do. Although he doesn’t fear combat, he ought to have substantial strength to mainly fight those who he can suppress, whether they are humans or demon beasts.
Luo Chen analyzed the situation a bit and found it to be increasingly awkward. Wang Yuan was powerful, but it was clear that he had been lying low and developing for years without any foundation.
While people might respect him occasionally and extend respect to Luo Chen, when real trouble comes, neither reasoning nor feelings could help him escape. If there was some internal conflict within the Broken Mountain Gang, he would certainly become a scapegoat.
Luo Chen started to regret coming here.
But, he was also someone who could see the bright side in adversity and adapt incredibly well.
He’d already come, so he needed to find opportunities that were beneficial for him.
“Mr. Lu, I heard that besides the headquarters, the Broken Mountain Gang has something called Seven Tigers Hall?”
Lu Yanzai casually replied, “Yes, it’s divided into seven halls.”
“What’s the difference? Is it based on people or job type?”
Job type?
Lu Yanzai was startled at first but understood quickly.
He chuckled, “Yes, there are different job responsibilities. Among the seven halls, three are dedicated to fighting, against humans and demon beasts and so on. The other four halls are in charge of mining and transport, collecting and processing medicinal materials, merits and livestock rearing.”
Luo Chen’s eyes lit up!
Indeed, a cultivation gang is not just about killing and fighting!
