Chapter 67: One Inside, One Outside, Brothers Supporting Each Other

Cultivation isn't just about killing.

Realm is the foundation of everything.

The Poshan Gang was formed with the original intention of loose cultivators seeking cultivation resources.

The death matches on the Dao Discussion Platform seem glorious, but if you ask the eighteen people who participated again, how many of them participated willingly?

I'm afraid it's no more than a handful.

Especially for the Heart-Eating Tiger Han Dang, who was at the perfection of Qi Refining, and the River-Mixing Dragon Gao Tingyuan, who had hopes of Foundation Establishment.

One died and one was injured, and they would never be able to touch the more beautiful scenery ahead on the Great Dao for the rest of their lives.

If they were allowed to choose again, I'm afraid they would refuse without hesitation.

Of course, they would have to be able to refuse.

Because above them were the two Foundation Establishment cultivators, Mi Shuhua and Wang Haichao.

Why did these two work so hard, recruiting people and bestowing top-grade magic tools, just to win the death match?

Wasn't it for their own interests!

Those interests were actually for their own cultivation.

From one perspective, this death match was actually a struggle for the Great Dao between the two.

It's just that both cherished their lives and chose to use their subordinates.

Luo Chen is now officially a member of the Poshan Gang.

Naturally, he didn't come to kill.

He wanted to lean on a big tree and cultivate well.

But leaning on a big tree also requires finding one's own position, so as not to be used as cannon fodder.

Therefore, after inquiring about the situation of the Poshan Gang, he had already made a decision in his heart.

Late at night, Wang Yuan, with a calm face, found Luo Chen, who had just finished practicing.

Looking at Luo Chen, whose aura had stabilized after finishing his cultivation technique, he couldn't help but nod.

"Fifth level of Qi Refining, it seems you haven't put down the cultivation of your fundamental technique."

Luo Chen smiled slightly.

Wang Yuan sighed, and the look he gave Luo Chen unexpectedly carried a hint of envy.

"Brother Wang, what's wrong?"

Luo Chen couldn't guess what the other party was thinking; didn't he win today?

Not only did he show his face and become famous in front of tens of thousands of spectators, but he also left his name on the Heaven's Pride List.

I'm afraid people on other Dao Discussion Platforms in the Yuding Domain would notice him.

And he also harvested the net worth of that Blood Dao cultivator, which could be considered a small fortune.

After returning, rewards were given based on merit, and his contribution was on par with Qin Liangchen's; maybe he even got that Foundation Establishment Pill.

Could it be?

Gang Master Mi Shuhua didn't give the Foundation Establishment Pill to him? But gave it to Brother Qin?

For a moment, Luo Chen's thoughts turned, and he thought of a lot.

Wang Yuan walked out of the room and into the courtyard.

"After this battle, the Poshan Gang has gained a lot. It has established its status as the number one gang in Dahefang, and has begun to dabble in the business on the Lancang River. The development of the Poshan Gang will only get better in the future."

"Mm."

This was expected; even if Wang Yuan didn't say it, Luo Chen understood it very well.

"But the losses were also great. The deaths of Heart-Eating Tiger, Leap-Stream Tiger, and Wind-Forest Tiger have created three power vacuums in the Seven Tiger Halls."

"The death of Xu Renke means that below Foundation Establishment, I am the only protector left. The top combat power of the Poshan Gang has also decreased."

Luo Chen nodded; he knew this too.

There were losses, but if it were for Wang Yuan personally, shouldn't his status be higher?

The treatment in the future would likely be even better.

Wang Yuan said, "In the evening, Gang Master Mi held a meeting and set new regulations. Zeng Wen returns to the Seven Tiger Halls and, together with Down-Mountain Tiger Luo Wudi and Dragon-Coiling Tiger Yang Wei, forms the three combat halls."

"Murong Qinglian is appointed as the Master of the Medicine Hall."

"Ke Yulin is appointed as the Master of the Beast Hall."

"Gang Master Mi's daughter, Mi Junping, is appointed as the Master of the Merit Hall, responsible for personnel and merit-related matters."

"The candidate for the Master of the Mineral Hall has not been decided; over the next five days, internal martial arts competitions will be held to select a new Hall Master."

"The position of Protector has been abolished, and four Elder positions have been added. I, Qin Liangchen, Luo Wudi, and a highly respected senior in the gang will jointly serve as the four Elders."

A bunch of personnel changes were spoken by Wang Yuan without avoiding Luo Chen at all.

Luo Chen listened quietly, nodding from time to time.

After this battle, it seems the biggest beneficiaries are Brother Qin and his wife.

Originally, they only had a small business in the gang, but now one is the Master of the Medicine Hall, and the other has become an Elder.

However, this should be their own initiative.

Now their son, Qin Xiaohu, has joined a big sect to cultivate.

I heard that the competition in the big sect is very fierce. If the family can provide some resources, Xiaohu can also have some advantages among his peers.

Standing out and becoming an inner sect disciple, or even a direct disciple of the Luoyun Sect, is not impossible.

The couple is fighting for their son!

Old client Zeng Wen returning to the Seven Tiger Halls was something he didn't expect.

That guy, doesn't he only take action when he's short of spirit stones?

Now, has he decided not to slack off anymore?

Mi Junping?

Gang Master Mi's daughter?

Now dabbling in the Merit Hall, it seems that after this battle, Mi Shuhua's control over the Poshan Gang has deepened.

As for the released position of Master of the Mineral Hall, it is considered to be used to plug the mouths of dissatisfied gang members.

However, Elder?

Luo Chen said in surprise, "The position of Protector has been abolished, so Brother Wang, your status has actually declined!"

Wang Yuan nodded, then shook his head.

"I don't care about this; what I care about is another matter."

"What?"

"The Gang Master asked me to form a team to take over the Lancang waterway handed over by the Dajiang Gang, which is a waterway leading to Taishanfang."

Luo Chen blinked.

What is this?

First reduce his status, then add an Elder title, and finally give him real power, controlling a new team.

For a moment, Luo Chen began to doubt the various appointments of Gang Master Mi Shuhua.

Does he really trust Wang Yuan's strength, or does he want to transfer him away from the power center of the Poshan Gang, which is why he sent him to the waterway transportation business that the Poshan Gang is completely unfamiliar with.

Suddenly, Luo Chen thought of the key point.

"Brother Wang, that Foundation Establishment Pill, who did the Gang Master give it to?"

"Nominally, it was given to Qin Liangchen. After all, I am at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and he is at the ninth. In this battle, his contribution was no less than mine."

"What do you mean nominally?"

"Qin Liangchen lost an arm in the battle. Although the Yuding Sword Sect promised to connect him with a new one, whether the new arm can fit the original body and whether it will have an impact on advancing to Foundation Establishment is still hard to say."

Wang Yuan's gaze was deep, "So the Gang Master said that after Qin Liangchen reaches the perfection of Qi Refining, he will give it to him. As for now, he is afraid that someone will have evil intentions, so he is keeping the Foundation Establishment Pill for Qin Liangchen for the time being."

Luo Chen frowned.

So it turns out the Foundation Establishment Pill hasn't been awarded yet!

And with this move, outsiders can't really say anything.

Mi Shuhua is just keeping it for Qin Liangchen to prevent him from being coveted by others, and when his realm is perfect, he will still give it to him.

But with the passage of time, will the new arm affect cultivation, and will it really be given when the time comes? Who can say for sure?

Glancing at Wang Yuan's deep gaze, Luo Chen suddenly understood what Wang Yuan meant by "caring about another matter."

Mi Shuhua seems different from before!

Or perhaps, he has never been different; he has just hidden it too well all along.

"Do you know why I let you join the Poshan Gang this time?"

The topic suddenly changed.

Luo Chen was caught off guard, but thought for a moment and said, "Brother Wang, you're short of helpers? My realm is barely passable? We know each other well, so you want me to come in and help you."

"Mm."

Wang Yuan nodded slightly, then added a sentence.

"There is another point. Gao Tingyuan's dantian is damaged, his sea of Qi is broken, and he has no hope of Foundation Establishment. It's possible that he will be desperate and, for the sake of his brother's revenge, take action against you."

"Joining the Poshan Gang will make him more or less wary."

Luo Chen opened his mouth, his eyes flickering.

With his insight at the time, he really didn't see this coming.

Think about it carefully, if he were in Gao Tingyuan's situation, with no hope for the Great Dao, the great revenge for his only relative would inevitably be on his mind.

"Brother Wang, thank you."

He said thank you sincerely.

Wang Yuan waved his hand, "Joining the Poshan Gang, except for the previous protectors, everyone is bound to join a hall to work."

"So now, you have two choices. One is to follow me and make a living on the big rivers."

"The other is to stay in one of the seven halls in the gang."

Facing these two choices, Luo Chen blinked, and he already had a choice in his heart.

Wang Yuan was afraid he wouldn't be able to distinguish the pros and cons, so he explained specifically, "Follow me, you don't have to be afraid of people in the gang making things difficult for you. It might be hard at the beginning, but once you get used to the work on the water, you will definitely earn a lot."

"Staying in those few halls, I might not be able to say anything. The few Hall Masters have more seniority than me."

"Have you considered it?"

Luo Chen nodded heavily, "I choose to stay in the Medicine Hall among the seven halls."

"I forgot, Qin Liangchen and his wife are your neighbors."

Wang Yuan smiled slightly, then patted Luo Chen on the shoulder.

"That's fine. Staying in the gang, you can pay attention for me, and if there's anything, you can notify me."

Grinning, revealing white teeth.

Luo Chen chuckled, "The two of us brothers, one inside and one outside, make it big and strong, and create brilliance again!" ===== CHAPTER 68 =====
