Chapter 313: The Golden Core Major Sect, Three Sects Offer Congratulations
Chapter 313: The Golden Core Major Sect, Three Sects Offer Congratulations
As Zuo Song, Luo Feng, and the Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Peach Mountain arrived at the grand hall, the atmosphere reached a fever pitch.
Even someone like Zhou Qing couldn't help but squeeze his way in to get acquainted with these influential figures.
These two were genuine late-stage Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivators! And each of them was in charge of a sect or a family clan.
Some invited Foundation Establishment Cultivators from smaller families couldn't break into the conversation circle and stood outside, filled with envy.
People like Nangong Jin were even more astonished in their hearts.
"The Chen Family of Tianyin Robe Shop, the Luo Family of Raksha Shop, and the Iron Sword Hall, along with our Cloud Linked Business Alliance, are the four major late-stage Foundation Establishment powers."
"Even the Peach Mountain, under the command of a Golden Core Venerable, has come to offer their congratulations."
"In just a few years, how did Luo Chen achieve such a level?"
Li Yixuan's face also showed surprise.
They couldn't understand it.
Even if he did nothing but network, how could he have made so many connections?
Among the crowd, the cultivators weren't huddled together but were conversing in groups of three or two.
For instance, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator from Peach Mountain.
Although they carried the Xuan Yu banner, the one who came wasn't the actual person.
Instead, it was a Foundation Establishment early-stage female cultivator named Qiao Xiyue.
"I came uninvited, but Fire Spirit Lord wouldn't mind my presence, right?"
Looking at her enchanting smile, Luo Chen's face was filled with a smile.
"How could he!"
"Peach Mountain's willingness to come and offer congratulations is an honor for our Celestial Assembly. Your arrival adds a touch of brilliance to Danxia."
Qiao Xiyue covered her mouth and smiled lightly.
"Your words are so pleasant, but I also have a business proposal I'd like to discuss with you."
"Oh?" Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, "What kind of business?"
Qiao Xiyue smiled slightly, "The Multifarious Elixir!"
Upon hearing this name, Luo Chen immediately understood.
Peach Mountain, a place of entertainment and pleasure.
But cultivators are different from ordinary people, especially Qi Condensation Cultivators, who are always reserved when it comes to seeking pleasure.
The Multifarious Elixir could undoubtedly bring them great joy.
"I hope that the Celestial Assembly will stop selling the Multifarious Elixir to outsiders and instead supply it exclusively to Peach Mountain. We can negotiate the price, and Peach Mountain can even offer discounts to Celestial Assembly cultivators."
When it came to business, this female cultivator spoke eloquently and confidently.
However, Luo Chen asked a strange question.
"Is this business proposal from Xuan Yu, or is it your idea, Fellow Daoist Qiao?"
Qiao Xiyue's face froze for a moment.
Under Luo Chen's gaze, she reluctantly said, "My husband is currently in seclusion, striving to break through to the Golden Core stage, and has no time to manage these matters. This is my idea, but it won't affect our cooperation."
Luo Chen nodded.
He smiled and avoided the topic.
"Regarding business matters, I haven't made decisions in a long time. If you're willing, Fellow Daoist, you can discuss it in detail with our Celestial Assembly President after the celebration."
Luo Chen nodded.
He was about to end the conversation.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Zuo Song in the crowd, occasionally glancing in his direction.
Apparently, he still couldn't let go of the Profound Heaven Crystal! Unfortunately, Luo Chen also wanted to keep it for himself.
It wouldn't be appropriate to argue with him at this time.
"Fellow Daoist Qiao, I have two old friends over there I need to greet. Please excuse me."
Qiao Xiyue looked at the corner, where two Foundation Establishment early-stage cultivators were standing.
"Then, please go ahead, Fellow Daoist. I'll be fine on my own."
Luo Chen smiled slightly and walked towards the corner.
...
"It's been a long time, my friends. How have you been?"
A sudden voice startled Li Yixuan, who turned around in surprise to see Luo Chen.
She had thought that Luo Chen wouldn't greet them today.
But when it came to their current situation...
She sighed, "It's not that great, but at least we have a place to stay now."
Nangong Jin also sighed, "The Cloud Linked Business Alliance has many vacancies, but the external pressure we face is much greater than before. Li and I are just struggling to survive."
"That's still better than me!" Luo Chen clicked his tongue, "In the recent battle, my Celestial Assembly almost faced complete destruction."
As soon as he said this, Nangong Jin and Li Yixuan exchanged glances.
Was he showing off?
Everyone knew that in that battle, the Celestial Assembly suffered no losses and even gained a lot.
Where did this talk of complete destruction come from?
"Haha, now is not the time to reminisce about the past," Luo Chen smiled, "Although we're all going through difficult times, it's still much better than staying cooped up in the Great River Market. Am I right?"
Upon hearing this, the two across from him nodded in agreement.
Their previously furrowed brows relaxed a little.
Without saying more, the two had been cultivating diligently since coming to Heavenly Wave Immortal City.
Nangong Jin had already reached the second level of Foundation Establishment.
Li Yixuan, with a deeper foundation, had also reached the third level of Foundation Establishment after finding a better cultivation environment.
With this progress, it wasn't impossible for her to break through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment in the future.
After Luo Chen's words, the atmosphere became more relaxed.
The distance created by the arrival of these influential figures also dissipated.
They all came from the same place.
They were all struggling and striving.
Everyone had made progress, but Luo Chen was slightly ahead of the rest.
Thinking of this, the disparity in their strength and status made him feel better.
Luo Chen glanced at the person standing behind Li Yixuan, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Has Li Ao not reached Foundation Establishment yet?"
Li Yixuan sighed, "He tried once, but unfortunately, he failed."
Li Ao, standing in the corner, subconsciously lowered his head.
His neck was flushed red, indicating his embarrassment and frustration.
"This time, I brought him along not only to broaden his horizons but also to let him listen to President Sima's insights on Foundation Establishment."
Li Yixuan's gaze fell upon Duan Feng, Min Longyu, and the others, and admiration flashed in his eyes.
"Your Celestial Assembly has an abundance of Foundation Establishment Cultivators. It's safe to assume that you have a unique understanding in this aspect!"
Nan Gongjin was thinking the same thing.
Unfortunately, his beloved son, Nan Gongqin, was crippled in the lower body, beyond any medical help, and had lost all hope of reaching Foundation Establishment.
If not for this, Nan Gongjin would have also wanted to bring his son to learn a thing or two.
"Rest assured, Hui Niang will share her insights on Foundation Establishment when the time comes."
"Li Ao, don't lose heart. It's just one failure. Cultivators like us never lack the courage and determination to start anew."
Luo Chen said.
Hearing his encouragement, Li Ao clenched his teeth and managed a somewhat forced smile.
Foundation Establishment was not that simple!
Luo Chen wanted to say more to Li Yixuan, but his brows suddenly lifted.
He nodded to the two of them and walked out of the grand hall.
As the host of today's celebration, every move of Luo Chen was under the watchful eyes of many.
Seeing his sudden action, numerous Celestial Assembly Cultivators followed him out.
Subtly, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the hall realized that a distinguished guest might have arrived.
Indeed!
The next moment, a grand greeting resounded, amplified by the formation, echoing throughout Danxia and beyond.
"A warm welcome to Senior Dantai Jin, the direct disciple of Ice Castle, for gracing Danxia and the Celestial Assembly!"
The arrival of someone from Ice Castle was no surprise to the crowd.
Everyone knew that the backing of the Celestial Assembly was Ice Castle.
Moreover, he had even received a personal audience with the Absolute Emotion Immortal.
But no one expected Dantai Jin himself to come and offer congratulations!
Dantai Jin was a direct disciple of Ice Castle, a disciple of a Golden Core Venerable, and possessed formidable cultivation at the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Currently, he was also the de facto ruler of the Heavenly Wave Immortal City!
And he was giving the Celestial Assembly such face?
Just as everyone was shocked.
The greeting echoed again.
"A warm welcome to Senior Tao Yisheng, the inner disciple of Qingdan Valley, for gracing Danxia and the Celestial Assembly!"
At this moment, everyone's expressions changed dramatically.
Even Qingdan Valley had sent someone!
What merits did the Celestial Assembly have to receive such attention from two major Golden Core Sects?
Zhou Qing and others in the hall looked at each other in disbelief.
Even though they had spoken highly of Luo Chen earlier, deep down, they still held some disdain for him.
But now.
"Does the Yunlian Business Alliance not have such a powerful backer?"
Zuo Song of the Iron Sword Hall, due to Luo Chen's avoidance, had not mentioned the four-grade mineral, and his heart was already filled with discontent.
If he hadn't seen representatives from the Yunlian Business Alliance, the Heaven Robe Shop, and the Raksha Shop, all of the same level as him.
He would have already made a scene.
But at this moment, with the arrival of two Golden Core Venerables,
His discontent vanished.
Regarding the Profound Heaven Crystal, he no longer had any trace of covetousness.
"Can't afford to offend them, can't afford to!"
Chen Xiulian and Luo Feng were previously discussing their plans to collaborate with the Celestial Assembly in future business dealings and jointly suppress prices.
But now, their faces also revealed aghast expressions.
"Brother Luo, things might not go as planned," Chen Xiulian shook her head.
Luo Feng's face turned solemn, "It seems we'll have to make some concessions. Their power is immense, and they're not as simple as a mid-stage Foundation Establishment force."
Speaking of this,
He furrowed his brows, perplexed.
"Why is the Celestial Assembly, a mere Foundation Establishment force, receiving such attention from two major Golden Core Sects?"
He wasn't the only one with this question.
There were many Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the hall who shared the same doubt.
Qiao Xiyue of Peach Mountain had eyes filled with brilliance.
"The Celestial Assembly is not as simple as it seems, receiving such attention from Qingdan Valley and Ice Castle. Could it be because of Luo Chen himself?"
Unconsciously,
Numerous Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the hall subconsciously began walking out of the grand hall.
Their innate fear of Golden Core Sects prompted them to make this welcoming gesture.
And outside the mountain,
Luo Chen stood on the rainbow bridge.
Amidst the gazes of countless loose cultivators, he conversed happily with Dantai Jin and Tao Yisheng, walking side by side into the Crimson Peak.
This scene caught the attention of countless loose cultivators in the Heavenly Wave Immortal City.
No one would consider the Celestial Assembly a third-rate force that couldn't hold its own anymore.
They would only remember.
That day outside the Crimson Peak, the sky was filled with flying boats, and the sound of laughter and conversation from Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Numerous major forces sent representatives to offer congratulations.
Even Ice Castle, Qingdan Valley, and the Peach Blossom Ancestor of the Hundred Flowers Palace, who owned Peach Mountain, had dispatched people.
This was the arrival of representatives from the three major Golden Core Sects!
Even without late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Celestial Assembly,
Countless loose cultivators, from the bottom of their hearts, included them among the top-ranked forces in the Heavenly Wave Immortal City.
They were no less impressive than the Iron Sword Hall, the Du Family of Taibai Market, the Heaven Robe Shop, and the Chen Family!
