Cultivation of immortality is not just about fighting and killing.
Realm is the root of everything.
The original intention of forming the Poshan Gang was for casual cultivators to seek resources for cultivation.
A fight to the death on the Taoist stage may seem like a spectacle, but if you ask again of the eighteen people participating, how many of them participated willingly?
I'm afraid it's no more than one hand.
Especially for Han Dang, the heart-eating tiger who has perfected his Qi refining, and Gao Tingyuan, the Hunjiang dragon who has a promising foundation.
One of them died and the other was injured, and they will never be able to touch the more beautiful scenery in front of the road for the rest of their lives.
If they were asked to choose again, I'm afraid they would refuse without hesitation.
Of course, you have to be able to refuse.
Because above them, there are two foundation builders, Mi Shuhua and Wang Haichao.
Why did these two people work so hard to recruit people and give them the best magic weapons to win a deadly battle?
Isn’t it for your own benefit?
Those benefits are actually for their own cultivation.
From a certain perspective, this fight to the death is actually a battle between the two.
It's just that the two of them cherished their lives and chose to borrow the hand of their subordinates.
Luo Chen has now officially joined the Poshan Gang.
Naturally, he is not here to fight and kill.
He wanted to practice well with his back against the big tree.
But with your back against a big tree, you still have to find your position, and don't let others use you as cannon fodder.
Therefore, after inquiring about the Poshan Gang's situation, he already made a decision in his mind.
...
Late at night, Wang Yuan approached Luo Chen who had just finished practicing with a calm expression.
Looking at Luo Chen, whose breath gradually stabilized after finishing the exercises, he couldn't help but nodded.
"At the fifth level of Qi refining, it seems that you have not given up on practicing the basic skills."
Luo Chen smiled slightly.
Wang Yuan sighed, looking at Luo Chen with a hint of envy.
"Brother Wang, what's going on?"
Luo Chen couldn't tell what the other party was thinking. Didn't he win today?
Not only did he show up and become famous in front of tens of thousands of viewers, he also left his name on the list of geniuses.
I'm afraid that someone on other Taoist forums in the Jade Cauldron Realm will notice him.
Moreover, he also gained the wealth of that blood monk, which can be regarded as a fortune.
After coming back, he was rewarded based on his merits. His achievements were as good as Qin Liangchen's, and he might even have gotten the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Could it be?
Gang leader Mi Shuhua didn't give him the Foundation Building Pill? But gave it to Brother Qin?
Suddenly, Luo Chen's thoughts changed and he thought a lot.
Wang Yuan walked out of the room and came to the yard.
"After this battle, the Poshan Gang has gained a lot. It has established its position as the number one gang in Dahefang, and it has begun to get involved in the business on the Lancang River. The development of the Poshan Gang will only get better and better in the future."
"Um"
This is what it should mean. Wang Yuan didn't say it, but Luo Chen also understood it very well.
"But the losses were also huge. The deaths of the Heart-eating Tiger, the Yuejian Tiger, and the Feng Linhu created three power vacuums in the Qihu Hall."
"Xu Renke's death leaves me as the only protector left under Establishment. The Poshan Gang's top combat strength is also reduced."
Luo Chen nodded, he also knew this.
There are losses, but for Wang Yuan personally, shouldn't his status be higher?
I'm afraid the treatment will be better in the future.
Wang Yuan said: "In the evening, Gang Leader Mi held a meeting and decided on new regulations. Zeng Wen returned to Qihu Hall and formed the Third Fighting Hall with Xiashan Huluo Wudi and Longpanhu Yang Wei."
"Murong Qinglian will be appointed as the master of the medicine hall."
"Ke Yuelin will serve as the master of the Beast Hall."
"Mi Junping, the daughter of Gang Leader Mi, will serve as the head of the Hall of Honors, responsible for matters related to personnel and meritorious service."
"The selection of the mine hall master has not yet been decided. In the next five days, there will be an internal martial arts exercise to select a new hall master."
"The position of the protector has been abolished, and the positions of four elders have been added. Qin Liangchen, Luo Wudi, and I, plus a highly respected senior member of the gang, will serve as the four elders."
A lot of personnel changes were made from Wang Yuan's mouth, and Luo Chen was not shy at all.
Luo Chen listened quietly and nodded occasionally.
It seems that the ones who have gained the most from this battle are Brother Qin and his wife.
It used to be that they only had a small business within the gang, but now one of them is the master of the medicine hall and the other has grown up.
But this should be their initiative.
Now his son Qin Xiaohu has joined a large sect to practice.
I heard that competition is fierce in large sects. If the family can provide some resources, Xiaohu can also gain some advantages among his peers.
It is not impossible to stand out and become an inner disciple, or even the true successor of the Luoyun Sect.
The couple is working hard for their son!
An old customer once asked about returning to Qihutang, which was something he didn't expect.
Doesn't that guy only take action when he is short of spiritual stones?
Now, have you decided not to mess it up?
Mi Junping?
Mi Shuhua's daughter?
Now that he is involved in the Xuantang, it seems that after this battle, Mi Shuhua has a deeper control over the Poshan Gang.
As for the position of leader of the mine hall that was released, it was used to stop the dissatisfaction of the gang members.
But, elder?
Luo Chen said in surprise: "The position of protector has been abolished, so brother Wang, your status has been reduced!"
Wang Yuan nodded, then shook his head.
"I don't care about that, I care about another thing."
"What?"
"The gang leader asked me to form a team to take over the Lancang Waterway handed over by the Dajiang Gang. It is a waterway leading to Taishanfang."
Luo Chen blinked.
what is this?
First reduce the status, then add the honorific title of elder, and finally give someone real power to control a new team.
Suddenly, Luo Chen began to doubt the various appointments made by gang leader Mi Shuhua.
Did he really trust Wang Yuan's strength, or did he want to transfer him away from the power center of the Poshan Gang, so he sent him to the water transportation business, which was completely unfamiliar to the Poshan Gang.
Suddenly, Luo Chen thought of the key point.
"Brother Wang, who did the gang leader give that Foundation Building Pill to?"
"It was given to Qin Liangchen in name. After all, I am at the eighth level of Qi refining, and he is at the ninth level. In this battle, the credit is no less than mine."
"What is nominal?"
"Qin Liangchen lost an arm in the battle. Although the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect promised to replace him with a new one, it remains to be seen whether the new arm can fit the original body. And whether it will have an impact on advanced foundation building. Easy to talk about."
Wang Yuan's eyes were deep, "So the gang leader said that he would give it to Qin Liangchen after he has completed his Qi refining. As for now, he is afraid that someone has evil intentions, so he is keeping the Foundation Establishment Pill for Qin Liangchen for the time being."
Luo Chen frowned.
After working on it for a long time, the Foundation Establishment Pill has not been rewarded yet!
Moreover, it is difficult for outsiders to make irresponsible remarks about this move.
Mi Shuhua just kept it for Qin Liangchen to prevent him from being coveted by others, and would give it to him when he reaches perfection.
But as time changes, who can say for sure whether the new arm will affect the practice, and whether it will be given by then?
Glancing at Wang Yuan's gloomy gaze, Luo Chen suddenly understood what Wang Yuan meant by "caring about another thing."
Mi Shuhua seems to be different from before!
Or maybe he was never different, he just hid it too well.
"Do you know why I asked you to join the Broken Mountain Gang this time?"
The topic suddenly changed.
Luo Chen was a little caught off guard, but after thinking about it he said, "Brother Wang, are you in need of help? Is my level barely good enough? We both know the basics, so you want me to come in and help you."
"Um"
Wang Yuan nodded slightly and then added.
"Another point is that Gao Tingyuan's Dantian has been damaged, his Qi sea has been broken, and there is no hope of building a foundation. He will jump over the wall in a hurry and attack you for the sake of his brother's revenge."
"Joining the Poshan Gang will make him more or less afraid."
Luo Chen opened his mouth and his eyes flickered.
With his original experience, he really didn't realize what was happening.
If you think about it carefully, if you were in Gao Tingyuan's situation, with no hope of success, your only relative would definitely be worried about you.
"Brother Wang, thank you very much."
He said thank you sincerely.
Wang Yuan waved his hand, "To join the Poshan Gang, in addition to being a former protector, you must join a gang to work."
"So now, you have two choices. One is to follow me and go to the rivers to make a living."
"The other one stays with the seven gang members."
Faced with these two choices, Luo Chen blinked, already making a decision in his mind.
Wang Yuan was afraid that he would not be able to distinguish the pros and cons, so he explained specifically, "Come with me. You don't have to be afraid of others making things difficult for you. It may be a little difficult at the beginning, but as long as you are familiar with the work on the water, you will definitely make a lot of money."
"If I stay in those halls, I might not be able to say anything. The hall masters are all older than me."
"Have you decided yet?"
Luo Chen nodded heavily, "I choose to stay in the medicine hall in the Seven Halls."
"I forgot that Qin Liangchen and his wife are neighbors to you."
Wang Yuan smiled slightly, then patted Luo Chen on the shoulder.
"Okay, stay in the gang, you can keep an eye on it for me, and let me know if anything happens."
Grinning, showing white teeth.
Luo Chen chuckled, "We two brothers, one inside and one outside, will become bigger and stronger, and create greater glory!"
