intended to enter the shop to get a full view, stopped his footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze fell on the badge in the lower left corner of the sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the golden glow, a three-legged bronze pill tripod was spitting out a round ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That ball, like a pill, and like a proud sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the badge of the Luotian Society!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The design inspiration comes from the founder Luo Chen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is good at pill refining and has a good hand of Fierce Sun Art, and the Luotian Society is located on Danxia Peak, which is illuminated by ten thousand glows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, it constitutes such a beautiful picture of \"Glow Illuminating Pill Tripod Rising Pill Sun\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This picture was also personally designed and drawn by Min Longyu, a master of formations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a formation master, it is very reasonable for him to have some painting skills!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Zheng Kejian stopped his footsteps was naturally not because this sect badge was good-looking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because, on the right side of the Dan Sun, there was a crystal white flower that seemed to be rotating at all times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, a snowflake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not an ordinary snowflake, but the snowflake of the Ice Fortress, one of the seven Yuding sects!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two combined, appearing out of place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under this out-of-place feeling, Zheng Kejian’s footsteps hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew better than anyone what this meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because on his Zheng family badge, there was also a unique flame logo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also just as out of place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But everyone knows that because of this out-of-place feeling, it shows that his Zheng family of Gunlong Ridge is a vassal family of the Flame Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By analogy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Danxia Luotian Society is actually a vassal force of the Ice Fortress?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zheng Kejian’s heart undoubtedly set off a huge wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this is the case, then the various means he had envisioned along the way to deal with the Luotian Society would have to be aborted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those means, strong or weak, bright or dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are upright ones, and there are also insidious and vicious ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But everything was based on the situation that the other party was just a small force with no support and no background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the other party is openly declaring that they are a vassal of a Golden Core sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, those means cannot be put on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because doing so would offend a Golden Core sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is still the period when the Ice Fortress is on duty in Tianlan Immortal City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, even the Flame Alliance is not easy to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Yuding Sword Sect has to abide by the rules of the Ice Fortress according to the agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Tianlan Immortal City was built by the seven sects together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the duty period of each sect, all the income generated by the immortal city belongs to that sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who dares to offend the Ice Fortress?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it is just one of their vassal forces!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The consequences of offending them also have precedents to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hundred years ago, the Min family, which was extremely popular, was not weaker than his Zheng family of Gunlong Ridge at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was because they accidentally offended the Flame Alliance cultivators who were on duty in the immortal city at that time, and as a result, when they were besieged, the friendly families were afraid of the pressure of the Flame Alliance and did not dare to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then was there the tragedy of the mountain being broken and the clan being destroyed after being besieged for a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hesitation, fear, suspicion, and various emotions rose in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Zheng Kejian still stepped into Danxia Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if I can't deal with you, I have to see how you are swallowing my Zheng family’s pill market!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he stepped in, Zheng Kejian cheered up and observed the situation in Danxia Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In general, there are many people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are a dozen Qi Refining rogue cultivators in the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either picking pills, or asking about magic tool information, and some even sitting on chairs by the window, drinking rich and sweet drinks with friends, eating strange snacks, and chatting happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shop structure is really a bit strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could even be called incongruous; who buys things while eating and drinking at the same time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it is precisely because there are many people that the maids in the shop are too busy to attend to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much so that no one received him, Zheng Kejian, at the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s good, I can first...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Fellow Daoist, is this your first time visiting our Danxia Hall?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pleasant voice came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making Zheng Kejian caught off guard for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking ahead, I saw a radiant, beautiful, and bright woman walking towards him generously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Kejian realized that the other party was talking to him, he nodded, and said calmly: \"It’s my first time here, I wonder what characteristic pills you have in your shop?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen guessed right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, he came to ask about pills!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Caiyi felt a shiver in her heart, but it didn't show on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She enthusiastically guided the other party to the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Lian, serve tea!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Kejian sat down subconsciously, wanting to say that he was just asking, no need to eat or drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't expect the female cultivator to say enthusiastically: \"Fellow Daoist, don't decline, for every guest who enters the shop for the first time, we will provide free milk tea and delicious snacks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a maid brought a tray and served a drink with a pure white color and several plates of snacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Bailan Milk Tea, using the spirit spring on Tianlan Peak, supplemented by fish milk produced by the fish, plus several kinds of spirit fruits, the taste is extremely delicious. Fellow Daoist, why not try it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Kejian originally had no interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing that the other party spoke nicely, it wouldn't hurt to try it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the mouth, the lips and teeth produced saliva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After swallowing, there was a sweet aftertaste in the throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but there was even a faint strand of spiritual energy in the body, soaking into the meridians like spring water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was stunned for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So delicious, and has spiritual energy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it appeared in the Zhongding family or the Liushang Pavilion, it wouldn't be strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But appearing in a pill shop, it was too strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These snacks, Fellow Daoist, why not try them too. While you eat, while you understand the goods of our Danxia Hall, isn't it a relaxing shopping trip in your busy cultivation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Kejian grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, even though the popcorn tasted quite good and had spiritual energy overflowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he just felt tasteless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why is that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, it’s because their Zheng family’s shop seems to have never had these services.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are these services useful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mostly useful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those rogue cultivators who are reluctant to spend spirit stones to buy pills at the Spirit Medicine Pavilion and Qingdan Valley are the most greedy for small gains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cup of milk tea, a plate of popcorn, more or less helps with cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, there is such a beautiful and lovely female cultivator enthusiastically introducing pills on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about their Zheng family’s cultivators?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buy it if you want, get out if you don't!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Zhongmiao Pills are good, but Fellow Daoist looks like a hard-working cultivator, I assume you don't need them. You can learn about...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I need them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Caiyi was stunned for a moment, looking at the other party’s decisive expression, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, then I’ll leave a whole bottle for you later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you need to learn about this Peiyuan Spirit Liquid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You tell me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Kejian ate the beans stir-fried with Tiancan Cloud Beans without tasting them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Caiyi introduced many pills and prices to him in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the other party was not impatient at all, but listened carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially on Jade Marrow Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the contraindications were asked clearly, for fear of missing a little bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he spent two hundred spirit stones to buy every kind of pill in Danxia Hall, including various snacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When leaving, Gu Caiyi personally sent him to the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Zheng, welcome next time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Gu Caiyi’s gentle and enthusiastic smile, Zheng Kejian, who was in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, felt a sense of powerlessness for some reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does the immortal cultivation world have such a pill shop?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quality is so good, and the price is so low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, their service attitude is so good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if they don't know what cultivator dignity is?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can their Zheng family shop really compete with such an existence by legitimate means?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third floor of Danxia Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the shadow of the windows and doors, a pair of black eyes stared quietly at Zheng Kejian’s departing back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Surname Zheng, and a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, Liuzi, do you know who he is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoliu, standing behind Luo Chen, felt a shiver in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to the President, I assume it is Zheng Kejian, the family head of the Zheng family of Gunlong Ridge, the other party does have the cultivation of the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zheng family of Gunlong Ridge...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering this name, Luo Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoliu said worriedly: \"This family is one of the best pill refining families besides the big sects, and the Fire Ganoderma Pills they refine and sell have a large market among rogue cultivators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After our Jade Marrow Pills started selling, it was okay at first, but now it seems to have affected their business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"President, they won't take action against us, will they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were other small sects, Xu Xiaoliu wouldn't care at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Luotian Society is not as weak as it looks on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The longer he joined the Luotian Society, the deeper he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just on the surface, the Luotian Society has two great Foundation Establishment true cultivators, President Luo Chen and Duan Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, there is a body cultivator, who seems to only have the Great Perfection realm of Qi Refining, but from others, he knows that the other party has fought Foundation Establishment true cultivators several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, the President seems to have wide friendships and can invite several Foundation Establishment peers at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without considering high-end combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the middle-level strength below are all a group of decisive Qi Refining experts who have experienced many battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Zheng family of Gunlong Ridge is different from those small sects!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a real old-brand immortal cultivation family in Tianlan Immortal City!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that the inheritance is only three hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, long before the opening of the Yuding Domain, the other party already existed in the Flame Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can be called a long inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if there hasn't been a Golden Core cultivator in these years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But inside the family, there are three Foundation Establishment cultivators!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hundreds of years of operation, the connections are so wide that the Luotian Society, which has not taken root in Tianlan Immortal City for long, cannot compare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they want to take action...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn't matter, they won't make a big move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light voice came, making Xu Xiaoliu feel a little more at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked curiously at Luo Chen’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen closed the doors and windows, turned around, and walked downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While walking, he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At least, they won't resort to force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoliu was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not resorting to force?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, perhaps the other party will use other small means?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that Luo Chen didn't explain too much to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Went downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Caiyi was already waiting respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you expected, that senior did indeed inquire about our situation in great detail.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"While retaining some, I introduced the situation of pills in great detail.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen nodded, \"Hmm, just like that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the calm Luo Chen, Gu Caiyi couldn't help but ask: \"The other party seems to be unkind?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are the visitors!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They, the Luotian Society, are the unkind visitors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With high-quality pills, thoughtful service, and most importantly, low prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They killed their way into the first-tier pill market of Tianlan Immortal City without any reason!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is the local pill forces that should be worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the counterattack that those forces might launch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not worth fearing at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they don't resort to force, they have to rely on regular business means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it comes to business means, Luo Chen may not be very proficient, but he asks himself that he is not worse than these pedantic hard-working cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, pills are not a one-sided market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also depends on the choice of rogue cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the wealth and poverty of rogue cultivators, the direction of cultivation, the demand for pills, and many other situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, there will be stratification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Luotian Society, the pill business in Tianlan Immortal City was not a piece of iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It makes no sense that after the Luotian Society squeezed in, they would unite to deal with the Luotian Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biggest situation will be another kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for which kind it will be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Family Head, it has been found out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Kejian glanced at the other party and spat out one word: \"Speak!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivator responsible for investigating the information trembled in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly reported the information collected yesterday one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The force impacting our pill business is an emerging force called the Luotian Society.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They arrived in Tianlan Immortal City two years ago, and it is said that they came from the remote Dahe Market.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This force respects a second-tier pill refiner, who is particularly good at refining a first-tier pill called Jade Marrow Pill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The earliest Jade Marrow Pills appeared in the immortal city about two years ago, which was when they came.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just that at that
