Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Luo Chen, Right? 1
Translator: 549690339
On the second floor, a large group of Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators occupied seven or eight tables.
The tables were filled with delicacies seldom seen on ordinary days, all of which were exquisite dishes imbued with Spirit Qi. If one were to calculate their worth in Spirit Stones, each table would easily cost more than a thousand Spirit Stones.
However, this time, these Qi Refining Cultivators didn’t have to pay for it.
Luo Chen was seated at a table slightly off-center, brought over by Gu Caiyi. This table was mostly occupied by female cultivators.
Therefore, having a male cultivator like Luo Chen did attract a lot of attention. Luo Chen seemed unperturbed by the sharp glances directed at him, focusing solely on eating his meal.
My ten-year term is up, I will be returning to the Hehuan Sect.”
The one speaking was Lady Xiangxiang from the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, her words filled with a trace of reluctance, but mostly anticipation.
Gu Caiyi looked at her enviously, “When you return this time, Xiangxiang, you should be ready to aim at Foundation Establishment, right?”
Xiangxiang pursed her lips and nodded lightly.
She had been here for ten years, and her cultivation had not fallen behind, she was only a step away from Qi Refinement Finalization.
The most important thing was that she had almost collected all the materials required for the Hehuan Sect’s Foundation Establishment Technique.
Now the only thing she lacked was to return to the Sect and get a Foundation Establishment Pill.
“Is Aunt Gong going back?” Gu Caiyi suddenly asked.
“She has to go back, after all, the Spirit Vein here is only First Order, and is not suitable for a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator to live in for an extended period.”
Lady Xiangxiang knew everything and even provided her good sister with a reminder.
“Next, there are two candidates to take over here. If it’s Senior Sister Chi, it’s fine, but if Senior Brother Hua comes, Caiyi, you’ll have to be careful then and by all means, don’t offend him.”
“Why do you say so?”
“Senior Brother Hua and I joined the Sect at the same time, his nature is fierce and he has a penchant for harvesting others. After advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage, although he has restrained himself a bit, it is only within the Sect. If he comes here, with no one to restrict him, I’m afraid…” Hearing these words, Gu Caiyi’s heart constricted.
Xiangxiang suddenly smiled, “But you don’t have to worry. The Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from Ailao Mountain likes you a lot right? He even mentioned to Aunt Gong twice about taking you as his concubine. Why don’t you go with him? Ailao Mountain is a very wealthy Sect.” Luo Chen, who was happily eating, paused slightly.
Looking up, he found that Gu Caiyi wasn’t as delighted as he had imagined, but instead forced a smile.
“That man is not kind-hearted, Caiyi, think it through!”
Suddenly, Fu Xiuxiu, who had been quiet all this while, stated.
Gu Caiyi gave a hum of acknowledgement, not daring to criticize a Foundation Establishment Cultivator behind his back.
She and Xiangxiang, Fu Xiuxiu were different.
One was a disciple of the Hehuan Sect, once she returned and had a successful Foundation Establishment, she would become an Internal Sect Disciple, and even had a chance to be promoted to a True Disciple.
Another one, recently became the steward of Shen Fu Pavilion and was about to return to the Sect with the people from Shen Fu Pavilion.
Both of them had the backing of two of the six major Ascendant Sects, naturally not afraid of the modest Ailao Mountain.
But she had to be more careful with her words.
Seeing Luo Chen watching over while eating, Fu Xiuxiu quietly explained to him.
“Fei Bowen, although he’s at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, he’s actually a son-in-law, he has a Golden Core Ascendant Master’s granddaughter as his wife back home.”
Luo Chen had known this before.
“If this man had his own convictions, that would be fine, but he happens to be very submissive. Not only is he ordered around by his wife at home, but his position in the Sect is also not high, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been sent to this remote area to repair houses.”
Luo Chen remembered the scene he had seen before on the third floor. Elder Chu of Wanbao Pavilion, chatting with that man in extravagant clothes, that was Fei Bowen.
He was clearly at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment while Chu was only at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, but in front of him, he didn’t exhibit any superiority of being two small cultivation stages higher.
He was cowardly and not assertive.
If Gu Caiyi were to follow this man back, she would likely end up dead at the hands of his wife, or alternatively, at the hands of Fei Bowen himself.
Even Luo Chen could think of these issues, Gu Caiyi, being the person involved, would naturally know more, and think about it more extensively.
But precisely because she thought too far ahead, her heartache was greater than anyone could imagine.
Women in this world, if they have no significant abilities, often rely on attaching themselves to powerful male cultivators.
She now had such an opportunity, but she couldn’t go, she dared not to!
Then continue to stay here?
After the grand opening ceremony of the Dao Debate Platform, her reputation was already well-established.
There was no shortage of businesses, and she had made quite a lot of Spirit Stones.
But Gong Huiqin had left, and she didn’t know who the new person in charge of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion would be.
If that Senior Brother Hua was to take over, she would probably have to tread carefully around him.
Unless, from now on, she didn’t work at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion anymore.
But then the problem came again, if she didn’t work at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, where should she go?
Her worries were overwhelming, they kept going in circles.
She glanced to one side and noticed Luo Chen, the only man at the table, was gorging on food.
Almost half of the delicacies had already entered his mouth.
“Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating!”
Luo Chen was puzzled, wasn’t this food meant to be eaten?
A meal like this could raise his cultivation more than ten days of hard training! Whether it was because of his dumbfounded look, or because she was venting her anger, Gu Caiyi couldn’t help but laugh at herself.
Why am I so angry with this litttle guy!
She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white arm, and poured Luo Chen a cup of wine herself.
“Eat more, so you can refine it well when you go back and increase your cultivation level. If you were a pill refiner at the Foundation Establishment Stage, I wouldn’t have to go far.”
Luo Chen drank the wine with a pang of pain.
Lady, if you want to keep me as your backup, don’t say it so blatantly!
I’m not the kind of man who is greedy for beauty!
Yuxiang and Fu Xiuxiu, sitting next to them, covered their mouths and laughed.
This banquet lasted until late at night.
When they left, they did not see the Golden Core Ascendant Master.
It was said that he had shown up, accepted a toast from everyone, and then drifted away.
In a day or two, he might take the Yu Ding Sword cultivators back to the sect The industries here, including the Dao Debate Platform, were still under the charge of the previous Miao Zhen.
From this, one could see that the Yu Ding Sword Sect was short of manpower. This industry was not trivial, but they had only entrusted it to a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a few dozen external sect disciples.
It can only be said that they were ambitious, or they had no other choice.
After separating from the bustling crowd, only Mi Shuhua, Qin Liangchen, and
Luo Chen were left on the way back to the headquarters.
The moonlight was bright and the stone roads were smooth.
The shadows of three people were stretched out long.
Mi Shuhua had his hands clasped behind his back, like a rich man out for a walk.
Suddenly.
“Xiao Qin, that Foundation Establishment pill is yours, it’s yours, I will never embezzle it.”
Qin Liangchen was taken aback, then laughed heartily, “Who wouldn’t trust you, Gang Leader Mi, I wouldn’t trust you? Saying these words is really too polite.”
In front of them, the rosy face of the rich man was half-hidden by the shadow.
Gang Leader Mi?
In the past, wasn’t it 01 Mi?
Indeed, they were growing apart!
Mi Shuhua pulled at the corner of his mouth, and his steps came to a halt.
Qin Liangchen was startled, but he noticed that the other was not looking at him, but at his own younger brother.
“You’re Luo Chen, right?”
