“I heard from Tianhong, your pill refinement technique is outstanding. Even among the rogue cultivators, you are top-notch, not at all inferior to the pill refiners nurtured by the sect itself.”
Just from the very beginning, Luo Chen knew.
The play was about to start!
It was all about my pill refinement technique again!
No way…
“I askyou, are you willing to join my Yu Ding Sword Sect and become my disciple?”
Is this a question?
It’s an order!
Luo Chen didn’t hesitate, nor did he show any discontent.
Immediately, he bowed.
“Junior Luo Chen, willing to follow elder!”
“Haha, very good, very good! Today, killing a demonic cultivator first, and gaining a promising disciple afterwards, must be a wonderful day.”
Pang Renxiong laughed heartily.
Luo Tianhong also smiled in congratulations.
Of course, Miao Wen wouldn’t lag behind, even his face seemed reluctantly extreme.
“This is my elder token, take it!”
“Give you a day to go back, pack up your things, and say goodbye to your family and friends, you will follow me back to the sect tomorrow afternoon.”
Without giving Luo Chen time to bargain.
After throwing him a sword-shaped token, Pang Renxiong enveloped the three in a burst of Qi power, speeding back to The Great River District.
After the big battle, only a mess remained of Lancang River, and the river surface had nearly doubled in size.
On his way back, Luo Chen held the small sword token as he saw many rogue cultivators racing towards the former battlefield on their glints.
They arrived late, nothing left for them to scavenge.
The golden core of the black-robed cultivator, the corpse, and even all the heritage, were completely plundered by Pang Renxiong.
Even Luo Chen himself became a gain from Pang Renxiong’s visit to The Great River District!
When Luo Chen set foot in Crescent Valley, his mind was still dazed.
“Just like this, I became a sect disciple?”
“A moment ago, I was still bothered about cultivation, planning how to deal with Foundation Establishment. The next moment, I was personally accepted by a golden core elder, becoming his nominally promising disciple.”
“Nothing is ever certain in this world, more than ever!”
Luo Chen stood at the gate of Crescent Valley, a bitter smile on his face. But now, all the hard work he did for Luo Tian Creed before seems ironic.
“If I leave like this, the newly established Luo Tian Creed will probably exist in name only!”
He was very clear that the true core of Luo Tian Creed was not the powerful Wang Yuan, nor the dozens or hundreds of Qi refinement cultivators, but himself, the pill refiner.
With his departure, Luo Tian Creed lost its core and there wasn’t any real Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The split-up might just be a blink of an eye away.
“How should I explain to them?”
Luo Chen raised his head, looking at the golden sign hanging on the low city wall.
The three words “Luo Tian Creed” were shining brightly.
Murong Qinglian even followed his preferences, adding silver edges on both sides.
“Welcome back, president!”
“President, you’re back!”
Luo Chen opened his mouth, and in the end, he just said.
“You guys have worked hard.”
The two night watch cultivators replied with smiles that it wasn’t hard.
How could it not be hard?
This Crescent Valley wasn’t a Spirit Vein land.
Oh, there was a Spirit Vein tributary, but Luo Chen sealed it off.
What others could enjoy, were just the scarcely emanating bits of spirit Qi.
Practically non-existent.
Under the greeting of the night watch cultivators, Luo Chen, with complex emotions, stepped into Luo Tian Creed.
In the lush woods, someone was already waiting for him.
“You’re back.”
“Yes.”
“What happened that caused Miao Wen to rush you away?”
Wang Yuan frowned, “I heard that a rare battle broke out a thousand miles downstream of The Great River District, was it related to you?”
Luo Chen smiled bitterly, “How could it not be related!”
He disclosed everything from beginning to end to Wang Yuan.
When he finally mentioned that Pang Renxiong had accepted him as a disciple and was going to take him away the next afternoon, Wang Yuan was stunned.
He stood there blankly, speechless for a long time.
After a while, he looked at Luo Chen with a complex expression.
“I remembered something you said.
“Hmmm…” Luo Chen seemed lost in thought.
Wang Yuan looked sentimental, as if he was recalling the past.
“Originally when I brought you back to the headquarters, you were forced to join the Broken Mountain Gang by Mi Shuhua.”
“I was filled with guilt at that time, having got you involved and cost you your freedom.”
“But you comforted me instead, saying that you don’t blame me. Because as long as you wanted to earn spirit stones for cultivation, you would be noticed sooner or later. Even without Broken Mountain Gang, there would be Great Lake Gang, Li Family, Duan Family, and even the golden core sects, and the six ascendant sects.”
“I didn’t take it seriously back then, just agreed with you superficially.
“Now it seems that you really hit the nail on the head.
“It’s actually one of the six ascendant sects, Yu Ding Sword Sect, and even personally invited by a golden core Ascendant Master.”
After rambling on, Luo Chen was brought back from his distraction.
He smiled bitterly, “Who would have thought it would come true.”
He walked slowly out of the grove, under the moonlight, to the side of the pond formed by the water of the mountain spring.
“First there was Mi Shuhua, then Miao Wen, and now there’s Pang Renxiong of Yu Ding Sword Sect.”
“Haha, without even realizing it, I, Luo Chen, turned out to have been a servant of three families.”
Listening to this bitter self-mockery, Wang Yuan shook his head.
“Why do you have to be like this? Maybe that golden core ascendant master really wants to cultivate you? You also said, he referred to you as a promising disciple, it shows that he has a very positive intention towards you.”
