Or perhaps, he has a decent relationship with Dan Taijun.
But when it comes to Core Formation spirit objects, I’m afraid the other party’s envy might be even more intense than his own.
“Moreover, regarding Foundation Establishment spirit objects…”
Saying so, Li Jinhuang gave Luo Chen a seemingly humorous yet serious look.
“Friend Luo, you must really desire an auction seat, don’t you!”
An auction seat!
This was one of the objects that Luo Chen desired most.
When the Foundation Establishment Pill was auctioned in The Great River District, he had been a bystander for the whole process.
Apart from the single pill that was set aside for rogue cultivators, the rest was all divided up by the four major Foundation Establishment forces.
This meant that there were, inevitably, alliances between Foundation Establishment true cultivators occurring privately.
Different places would inevitably have very similar rules.
The same was the case with Tianlan Immortal City.
He had privately asked Chu Kui about this, the auction quota for Foundation Establishment pills in the Immortal City was also regulated.
Only those who have been rooted in Tianlan Immortal City for more than fifty years are eligible to join the feast of division.
A newly formed force like the Luo Tian Creed doesn’t even have a quota.
If they want one, they would have to compete with rogue cultivators, paying a high price.
Furthermore, there is a strong possibility that it would offend a Golden Core Great Sect.
“It appears Friend Li has understood my intentions.” Luo Chen candidly admitted his thoughts.
Li Jinhuang sighed, “So be it, I’ll hand over this time’s auction seat from the Li Family to you! The closing price is set at 5000 spirit stones per pill. ”
“So high?” Luo Chen is surprised.
Back during The Great River District, the private asking price among Foundation Establishment cultivators was only 2000 spirit stones per pill!
“Foundation Establishment Pills have always been precious and are mostly produced by Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects. This time, the pills are coming from Luo Yun Sect and Medicine King Sect.”
Li Jinhuang said earnestly, “We must show respect for the Luo Yun Sect!”
I see!
The Luo Yun Sect is a newly promoted Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect.
This time, their ally Qingdan Valley is participating in the auction, and Luo Yun Sect is willing to offer the Foundation Establishment Pills as a show of support for their ally.
There are too many twists and turns involved, Luo Chen didn’t bother thinking further – he would just follow the trend.
“Apart from that, before the auction starts, the Immortal City will open a market for everyone to freely trade.”
“This is a great business opportunity for us Foundation Establishment forces, Friend Luo cannot miss out.”
Luo Chen nodded; he knew about this.
During The Great River District period, the Yu Ding Sword Sect had done the same thing. It was pretty much a standard procedure.
Following that, Luo Chen and Li Jinhuang chatted for a long time, exchanging ideas about their Foundation Establishment experiences, until he noticed the other party’s fatigue and finally excused himself.
After he left.
Li Jinhuang’s face still showed signs of fatigue, but he forced himself to stay awake.
A young woman walked in.
“Grandfather!”
“Have you seen your fiancé yet?”
Li Yingjun bit her lip and nodded slightly, “I’ve seen him. He’s a decent man.”
“Is his relationship with the head of Luo Tian Creed really as good as the rumors suggest?”
Li Yingjun hesitated, “It should be. They had dealings since their humble beginnings. After Luo Chen established his status, the Yuan Family lent him considerable support. As Granny Yuan had passed away, he personally saw her off and entrusted the Luo Tian Creed to give her a grand funeral.”
Is that so?
Li Jinhuang heaved a sigh of relief.
If it was before, he might have had some other thoughts.
But after meeting Luo Chen, those thoughts were immediately dispelled.
The young man was not old, but he acted prudently.
Once he leaves, the Li Family cultivators could never stir up trouble under Luo Chen’s watch.
If that’s the case, it would be better to have his granddaughter form a solid relationship with the Luo Tian Creed, indirectly looking out for the Li Family.
Seeing her grandfather dealing with these matters at such an age.
A look of guilt and remorse appeared on Li Yingjun’s face.
“It’s all because of our incompetence that you have to work so hard, Grandfather.”
Li Jinhuang shook his head.
“You are not to blame. In fact, even if one of you were to become a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator now, I would still ally with the Luo Tian Creed.”
Li Yingjun was taken aback.
What’s the reason?
Li Jinhuang sighed deeply, “Your sights are too narrow, your vision too short. The overall trend of the Yu Ding Realm is slowly changing. In the face of such a huge movement, how could the Qin Flower River Li Family ensure its survival solely with one or two Foundation Establishment cultivators?”
Li Yingjun was surprised, “Grandfather, are you referring to the battle of the Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects?”
“Hmm.”
“But hasn’t a lot been settled in these two years?”
“Settled?” Li Jinhuang snickered, “Settle for a few more years, even decades, does that really matter? The fundamental conflict was never resolved.”
Li Yingjun assumed and said, “Could it be the hatred from the initial battles, where disciples from both sides fell?”
“No, that doesn’t count for much. Whose family hasn’t spilled the blood of their sect members!”
Li Jinhuang looked serious, “The fundamental issue is, the humble Yu Ding realm cannot contain two nascent soul sects!”
The young girl’s mouth fell open slightly, her face somewhat shocked.
“So, there will be fights in the future?”
“Yes!” Li Jinhuang’s response was categorical, his tone indifferent, “Not only will there be fights, but they will be even fiercer than before, and all the sects in the Yu Ding Realm, big or small, might get swept up in it.”
And this was why he was looking for a powerful backer for the Li family.
As for why he chose the newly rising Luo Tian Creed?
He had his own considerations for that.
Whether it was making a name for himself when he first arrived, quickly finding a Golden Core Great Sect as a backer, or later easily and dominantly entering the first-order cultivation pill market without any smoke of gunpowder, all of these showed the presence of capable people in the Luo Tian Creed!
This kind of capable person was fine under normal circumstances as they would be bound by many rules.
If the big chaos arrived, they would thrive and rise to prominence!
After a short interaction, Li Jinhuang was certain that the capable person in the Luo Tian Creed was Luo Chen!
It had nothing to do with intelligence details; it was merely a feeling.
“Yingjun!”
“I left a set of Foundation Establishment resources for your older brother. If he fails, so be it. If he succeeds, let him join Luo Tian Creed!”
Still in shock, Li Yingjun was stunned when he heard this.
“Grandpa, how can that be! My Li family…”
“Obey!” Li Jinhuang looked solemn, “Your older brother has a personality that is obsessed with cultivation. I will warn him, but if I’m gone, you must remind him.”
“Luo Chen doesn’t tolerate dishonor!”
…
One month later!
In the heart of the Immortal City.
Seven beast vehicles were rerouted to park at a huge square in the center.
Each day, they brought countless cultivators.
On the huge square, countless temporary stalls were set up.
They were all contributed by various households after they paid their rents.
There were also many rogue cultivators setting up street stalls.
The familiar lively scene would last for nine full days!
After nine days, the official Immortal City Auction will be held, which will also last for three days.
However, the official large-scale auction is not something ordinary rogue cultivators can participate in.
From Golden Core to Qi Refinement, besides those with invitations, everyone else needs to have their qualifications verified in order to participate.
For this grand event, the Luo Tian Creed was naturally very busy.
Luo Chen generously rented three stalls from Binglan Palace.
Elixir, Magic Tool, Snacks.
With only nine days, they must seize the opportunity and maybe they could earn the income of a usual month or two.
The cultivators of the Battle Hall were constantly transporting goods produced at Danxia Peak.
At the Golden Hall, Gu Caiyi temporarily handed over Danxia Hall to a trusted female cultivator.
She then went to the square of the Immortal City to oversee the situation.
As for Luo Chen?
After going crazy refining elixirs for a month, he also took a break.
Alone, he concealed his aura, changed his appearance, and started walking around the market of the Tianlan Exchange Conference.
“After all, I have the experience of crossing worlds, but I’ve never picked up any bargains in my life!”
He automatically ignored the big bargain of Emperor Liquor.
That was a bargain that Wang Yuan led him to, it couldn’t be counted as his own contribution.
This time, he was really planning to have a good stroll.
Relaxing, picking up bargains!
“Cultivators from all over the world bring all sorts of things, maybe there will be something suitable for me.”
“Just because I can’t go into the auction, doesn’t mean there aren’t any good things.”
“With my ever-improving level of Spirit Vision, it should be my turn to pick up a bargain!”
Luo Chen chuckled, rubbing his hands together, ready to make a big haul!
