with five wins and four losses in this battle, they were likely to usher in a new era of rapid development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was great, and he, Luo Chen, could also bask in this glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long time, Luo Chen had suffered from being a loner with a weak power base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the path of cultivation, without guidance or support, life had been truly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had wanted to join a cultivation family or sect, but was afraid of becoming a tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Wang, although a bit cold, had great spirit and vision in his conduct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With him covering for him, and relying on his own little schemes, it shouldn't be difficult to mix in and be like a fish in water!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While lost in these wild thoughts, the group left Mount Luofeng and arrived outside the Yuding Sword Pavilion in the inner city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they came out, it was a scene of clamor and noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seven hundred, I earned seven hundred spirit stones!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm rich, I'm rich now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What Heart-Eating Tiger, I shouldn't have gone all-in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Poshan Gang won, I lost;

why walk the night road in the middle of the night!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there were patrols in the outer city before, the opening ceremony was over, and it was said that the Jin Dan True Person from the Yuding Sword Sect would soon return to the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, it was hard to say whether the patrols in the outer city would continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big brother, go and return early; little brother will sleep with you tonight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yuan scolded with a smile and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he left, Luo Chen was led by a gang member to a residence where Wang Yuan stayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Protector Wang doesn't usually live here; he only rests here occasionally when participating in gang affairs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How should I address you, fellow Daoist?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen looked at the man in front of him with a smile; the other party's cultivation wasn't high, only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, one level lower than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a person was only at the bottom in the talented Poshan Gang, and his situation was slightly better than those outer members at the early stage of Qi Refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Lu Yanzai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen enthusiastically shook the other's hands, \"Fellow Daoist Lu, nice to meet you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeming unaccustomed to such enthusiastic cultivators, Lu Yanzai was very embarrassed, and his hands were neither to be pulled back nor not pulled back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Protector Wang's only little brother!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one expected that Wang Yuan, who used to only handle dirty work for the Poshan Gang, would rise so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he made great contributions in the conflict with the Dajiang Gang, then he was promoted to Protector, and now he had publicly killed a demonic cultivator, becoming famous in one fell swoop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Heaven's Pride List set up by the Dao Discussion Platform had a place for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen didn't let him be embarrassed for long and quickly pulled his hands back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While walking, he asked about the situation of the Poshan Gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Poshan Gang is so prosperous, you must be living a good life, right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The glory belongs to Protector Wang, Hall Master Luo, and the others. We small loose cultivators are just huddling together for warmth, looking for a stable cultivation environment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't it said that there are regular organized hunts in the mountains? With experts protecting you, the harvest should be quite good, right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's okay, barely enough to make ends meet. Moreover, the demonic beasts in the mountains are even more ferocious. Encountering a second-tier demonic beast often leads to heavy losses. If you're unlucky and encounter a third-tier demonic beast, it's basically total annihilation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen's eyelids twitched as he listened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it turns out the Poshan Gang isn't easy to mix in either!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glory belongs to the top brass, and the danger is still for them, the little brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm afraid that if I join, I'll have to participate in those things in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This won't do. Although he isn't afraid of fighting, he should at least have some strength, and only fight those people and demonic beasts he can crush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen analyzed it shallowly and only felt that his situation was becoming more and more awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yuan is strong, but it's obvious that he has been developing low-key for these years and has no power base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others will give him face, and occasionally give him face, but when something really happens, he can't escape it in terms of reason or emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there is any internal conflict in the gang, he will definitely become a sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen even regretted coming here a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he also has a personality that can find joy in suffering and is extremely adaptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he's here, he must find something beneficial to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Lu, I've always heard that besides the main altar, the Poshan Gang also has the Seven Tiger Halls?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yanzai said casually, \"Yes, it's divided into seven halls.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there any difference? Is it divided by people or by job type?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Job type?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yanzai blinked, but quickly understood the meaning of the word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled and said, \"The division of labor is different. Among the seven halls, three halls are responsible for fighting, dealing with people, demonic beasts, etc. The other four halls are responsible for mineral mining and transportation, medicinal herb collection and processing, personnel and merits, and livestock farming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen's eyes lit up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cultivation gang, sure enough, isn't just about killing! ===== CHAPTER 67 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1810,"2026-06-12T10:35:51.239Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","2038a96c894526370305586fbcb824eed37c6f55dbc52e75ae1a059cd9439d6f","immortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-chapter-67","immortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-chapter-65",1090,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-cover.jpg"]
