Of course, this “internal atmosphere” is only limited to the Pill Hall and the adjacent Medicine Hall.
Other halls such as the Beast Hall and Mining Hall are leaderless due to the absence of the Hall Masters and Gang Leader who went to the Ancient Plains Mountain Range.
Recently, there have been some disorderly incidents.
They have upset Mi Junping, who is overseeing the headquarters.
After refining pills in the afternoon, Luo Chen started chatting with Sikong Shoujia again.
“Do you have any idea how the competition for the relics is progressing?”
Sikong Shoujia expressed his concern, “I’m afraid it’s not good.”
“Do you know some insider information, tell me?”
Luo Chen’s connections within the gang are mostly among the higher echelons.
When it comes to intelligence about the situation in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range, Luo Chen knew less than the old man in front of him.
Sikong Shoujia laughed bitterly, “There’s no insider information to tell! If you go out and ask around, you’ll know about the events that happened in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range recently.”
Through his narration, Luo Chen learned about the chaos in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range.
In the beginning, it was quite good, everyone was keen on excavating Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
However, gradually, some rogue cultivators started causing trouble and stealing from others.
After all, it’s easier to steal from others than to painstakingly collect spirit medicines.
This situation somewhat eased after the Broken Mountain Gang and Xuan Yihui formed a standoff.
However, as the Heavenly Craft Qi Snatching Array actively contracted a few days ago, all Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators were pushed out, leaving only Foundation Establishment Cultivators inside; everything changed.
The thousands of cultivators outside, without the suppression of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, finally couldn’t hold back.
The Broken Mountain Gang, Xuan Yihui, and a small number of Great Lake Gang Cultivators started fighting each other.
The rest of the rogue cultivators mingled in, all for their own chances, fighting with all they had.
“Do you still remember Luo ‘Er Duo?”
“Heh, how could I forget that brat.”
Luo Chen can remember, Luo ‘Er Duo was the first one to step forward and say he wanted to leave the Pill Hall and go to the Golden Core relics.
He chose to speak up after Luo Chen had made a firm stand, which was like slapping Luo Chen in the face.
“He is dead!”
Sikong Shoujia sighed, “Yesterday, a Fire Worker from the Pill Hall who had gone out ran back.”
“He was frightened to his core, thinking that it is better to earn a humble wage by tending the fire honestly, so he wanted to return to the Pill Hall.”
“Oh?” Luo Chen squinted his eyes.
Sikong hurriedly said, “With your statement, I will definitely not take back those who have left. But before I rejected him, I extracted a lot of information about the situation in the mountains.”
“Thousands of cultivators fought in chaos, the situation was completely out of control, and everyone had blood in their eyes.”
“How could a small fry like Luo ‘Er Duo possibly survive.”
Luo Chen slowly nodded his head, satisfied with Sikong Shoujia’s treatment of the deserter and happy about Luo ‘Er Duo’s downfall.
He has betrayed this Pill Hall!
He deserves an early death!
However, thinking of the chaos of thousands of cultivators, Luo Chen still felt a bit of a chill on his scalp.
“What’s up with the beast tide?”
“The reason for the beast tide is very simple!” Sikong Shoujia threw up his hands, “So many people are fighting on the Demon Beasts’ territory, and the Demon Beasts are not lifeless objects.”
“After bottling up for a while, even the previously explored safe camp locations became unsafe.”
“When the Foundation Establishment Cultivators no longer showed up, Demon Beasts led by Golden Spirit Monkeys and Explosive Monkeys began to slaughter and hunt down Cultivators.”
“Then, the low-level rogue cultivators began to band together and flee, and as the Demon Beasts pursued them, it gradually evolved into a small beast tide.”
Recalling the brief glimpse at Qinghe Mountain yesterday.
Were the Demon Beasts covering the mountains, just a small beast tide?
Luo Chen couldn’t imagine what a real large beast tide would look like.
He just said, “The main forces should be returning soon.”
“I hope so!”
The contraction of the Heavenly Craft Spirit Snatching Array deprived all Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators of the opportunity to further compete for chances.
With a small beast tide erupting inside the mountain, the lower Order rogue cultivators had no other choice but to withdraw.
Thinking of his son, Sikong Shoujia murmured another sentence.
“The sooner, the better!”
In the middle of Changyin Mountain.
In the quiet mountain forest, a night owl squawks, and a figure flickers through the tree like a spirit monkey.
There is none of the chaos of The Great River District, nor the bloodshed of the Ancient Plains Mountain Range.
The quiet atmosphere is like a peaceful haven forgotten by the world.
However, Luo Chen knew well that this kind of environment won’t last long.
The Wolf race may have left, but they will surely return one day.
He needs to seize the time to explore the entire Changyin Mountain and familiarize himself with the Qinghe Spirit Gathering Banner as soon as possible.
Suddenly, Luo Chen stopped.
An extremely cold and chilling wave of air was continuously gushing out from the canyon below.
Despite being covered by his Ascendant Grade Magic Robe, his face still turned pale from the freezing cold.
“Why is it so cold here?”
This place is the last unexplored spot in Changyin Mountain.
With a flicker of thought, Luo Chen concealed his breath and slowly descended.
A little tree about a meter high came into view.
“Is this Cold Osmanthus?”
“And all of them are over a hundred years old!”
Luo Chen was a bit surprised, Cold Osmanthus is a rare sight.
This tree is considered a treasure among the First Order Spirit Woods, bearing fruit every ten years.
The fruit it produced, Osmanthus fruit, once eaten and refined by a cultivator with Ice or Water Spirit Root, could yield spiritual power equivalent to several years of hard cultivation.
“So many Cold Osmanthus trees, but not a single one has Osmanthus fruit?”
Luo Chen stopped in his steps, he faintly heard the howls of wolves from deep within the canyon.
Information about Changyin Mountain flashed through Luo Chen’s mind.
The Demon Beast that resides in this mountain year-round is the Giant Frostwolf.
This kind of Demon Wolf has a natural adaptation and control over powers of ice, frost, and cold..
