Chapter 73: Luo Chen, Is It?

On the second floor, a large group of Qi Refining cultivators sat at seven or eight tables.

The tables were filled with delicacies rarely seen on weekdays, all containing spiritual energy; if calculated in spirit stones, each table would cost at least a thousand.

However, this time, these Qi Refining cultivators didn't have to pay.

Luo Chen sat at a table near the center, pulled over by Gu Caiyi.

At this table, most were female cultivators.

Therefore, the addition of Luo Chen, a male cultivator, attracted many gazes.

Luo Chen seemed not to feel those gazes like thorns on his back and just kept his head down eating.

"Ten years are up, and I'm going back to the Hehuan Sect."

The speaker was Miss Xiangxiang of the Long Long Tianxiang Building, her words filled with reluctance, but more so with anticipation.

Gu Caiyi looked at her with envy: "Returning this time, Xiangxiang, you should be preparing to impact Foundation Establishment, right!"

Xiangxiang smiled and nodded lightly.

Coming here for ten years, her cultivation hadn't fallen behind, and she was only one step away from the perfection of Qi Refining.

Most importantly, she had almost collected the Foundation Establishment materials required for the Hehuan Sect's cultivation technique.

Now the only thing missing was returning to the sect to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Is Aunt Gong going back?" Gu Caiyi asked suddenly.

"She naturally has to go back. After all, the spiritual vein here is only first-rank, which is not suitable for a Foundation Establishment cultivator like her to live in for a long time."

Miss Xiangxiang knew everything and even gave her good sister a reminder.

"The next person to take over here has two candidates. If it's Senior Sister Chi, it's fine, but if it's Qi Qi Shixiong Hua, you must be careful when the time comes, and don't offend him."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Qi Qi Shixiong Hua and I entered the sect in the same batch. He has a cruel personality and likes to harvest and replenish. After advancing to Foundation Establishment, although he has restrained himself, it's only within the sect. If he comes here, with no one to restrain him, I'm afraid..."

Listening to these words, Gu Caiyi's heart tightened.

Xiangxiang suddenly smiled: "But you don't have to worry. Isn't that late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from Ailao Mountain very fond of you? He has mentioned twice to Aunt Gong that he wants to take you as a concubine. Why don't you just go with him? Ailao Mountain is also a very wealthy sect."

Luo Chen, who had been eating heartily, paused slightly.

Looking up, he found that Gu Caiyi didn't have the joy he imagined, but instead smiled very reluctantly.

"That person is not a good match, Caiyi, think three times!"

Suddenly, Fu Xiuxiu, who had been quiet, said this.

Gu Caiyi said "Mm," not daring to criticize the Foundation Establishment cultivator behind his back.

She was different from Yu Xiang and Fu Xiuxiu.

The two were disciples of the Hehuan Sect; after returning, as long as Foundation Establishment was successful, they would be inner disciples, or even have hopes of being promoted to direct disciples.

The other had recently become the manager of the Spirit Talisman Pavilion and would soon return to the sect with the Spirit Talisman Pavilion people.

Both had big sects behind them, so naturally, they weren't afraid of a mere Ailao Mountain.

But she had to be careful not to bring disaster upon herself.

Seeing Luo Chen eating while paying attention to this side, Fu Xiuxiu explained to him in a low voice.

"Fei Bowen, although he is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, he is actually a matrilocal son-in-law, and his wife is the granddaughter of a Core Formation True Person."

Luo Chen already knew this.

"If this person had his own opinions, it would be fine, but he has a very soft personality. Not only is he bossed around by his wife at home, but his status in the sect is also not high, otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent to this remote area to repair houses."

Luo Chen thought of the scene he saw on the third floor.

The gorgeously dressed man chatting with Old Chu of the Ten Thousand Treasures Building was Fei Bowen.

He was clearly in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, while Old Chu was only in the early stage, but in front of the other, he had no demeanor of being two small realms higher.

Timid and not very grand.

If Gu Caiyi followed this person back, I'm afraid she would die at the hands of that person's wife sooner or later, or die at the hands of Fei Bowen.

Even Luo Chen could think of these things; as the person involved, Gu Caiyi would naturally know more and think further.

But precisely because she thought too far, the bitterness in her heart was more than anyone thought.

Women in the world, if they have no great ability, often rely on powerful male cultivators.

She now had such an opportunity, but she couldn't go, didn't dare to go!

And what about staying here?

After the Dao Discussion Platform opening ceremony, her reputation had already been established.

Business naturally wasn't lacking, and she earned quite a few spirit stones.

But Gong Huiqin was gone, and who would be the new person in charge of the Long Long Tianxiang Building was unknown.

If it really was that Qi Qi Shixiong Hua, I'm afraid she would have to be careful to cater to him.

Unless, she didn't work at the Long Long Tianxiang Building in the future.

But the problem came again: if she didn't work at the Long Long Tianxiang Building, where should she go?

Worried and turning back and forth.

Looking sideways, he found that Luo Chen, the only man at this table, was stuffing his face.

Half of the delicacies had already entered his mouth.

"Eat, eat, eat, you only know how to eat!"

Luo Chen was stunned; wasn't this food meant for eating?

One meal could be worth ten days of his bitter cultivation!

Whether it was because of his dull appearance or her own anger, Gu Caiyi was amused by herself.

Why am I getting angry with this little man!

Rolling up her sleeves, revealing her fair arms, she poured a glass of wine for Luo Chen herself.

"Eat more, refine it well when you go back, and increase your cultivation. If you were a Foundation Establishment alchemist, I wouldn't have to look far."

Luo Chen drank the wine with some pain.

Big sister, if you want to treat me as a spare tire, don't say it so blatantly!

I'm not the kind of person who covets beauty!

Yu Xiang and Fu Xiuxiu, who were beside them, covered their mouths and laughed.

This banquet lasted until late at night.

When they left, they didn't see that Core Formation True Person.

It was said that he showed his face, accepted a toast from everyone, and then drifted away.

Perhaps in a day or two, he would take the Yuding sword cultivators back to the sect, and the industries here, including the Dao Discussion Platform, would still be managed by that Deacon Miao from before.

From this, one could see the Yuding Sword Sect's shortage of manpower.

This industry wasn't a small matter, yet they only let one Foundation Establishment cultivator, plus dozens of outer disciples, be responsible.

It could only be said that they were big-hearted, or had no other choice.

After dispersing from the bustling crowd, on the way back to the main altar, only Hearing Mi Shuhua, Qin Liangchen, and Luo Chen were left.

The moonlight was bright, and the stone road was open.

The three shadows were stretched very long.

Hearing Mi Shuhua had his hands behind his back, like a wealthy old man taking a walk.

Suddenly.

"Little Qin, that Foundation Establishment Pill is yours, it is yours; I will never embezzle it."

Qin Liangchen froze, then laughed heartily: "If others can't trust you, Gang Master Mi, I can't trust you? Saying these things is too distant."

Ahead, the wealthy old man's rosy face was half covered by shadows.

Gang Master Mi?

Before, he called me Old Mi!

Sure enough, they had become distant!

Hearing Mi Shuhua twitched the corners of his mouth and stopped his steps.

Qin Liangchen froze, but found that the other party wasn't looking at him, but at his little brother.
