The hall, with its overall reddish tone, was lined with square tables and soft couches.

Without changing his face, Luo Chen observed the attendees.

Besides the maid, all were Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

Across from him were Kang Dongyue and Yu Rou from local Immortal Cultivation Clans, along with two Foundation Establishment True Cultivators from Spirit Medicine Hall and Wanbao Pavilion.

No Foundation Establishment True Cultivators from foreign realm sect industries were present.

Or to put it another way, here in Taishan District, they’d made no arrangements for any Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

After all, Taishan District wasn’t as important as The Great River District, and the Great Sects didn’t have that many Foundation Establishment Cultivators to send out.

The elderly cultivator with full head of white hair was probably from Xuelian District.

There was also a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator with a waxen yellow complexion who looked unassuming, probably a local rogue cultivator.

If you added in the four Foundation Establishment Cultivators from The Great River District, there were about a dozen of them.

This was a rather large number for a mere market town.

But this was right after the end of an auction.

Compared to the initial The Great River District, it was somewhat inferior.

“Hm?”

While Luo Chen was observing the others, he suddenly noticed a gaze fixed on him.

Without anyone noticing, he glanced at the source of the gaze out of the corner of his eye.

“Why is that wax-colored Foundation Establishment True Cultivator staring at me?”

Although it was just a fleeting glance

But the man’s gloomy expression still caught Luo Chen’s attention.

“Since I reached Foundation Establishment, I haven’t made many enemies; why is he giving me such a look… ‘Cleanse Origin Pill Formula’?”

Yes!

In an instant, Luo Chen guessed why the other party was harboring such animosity towards him.

At the previous auction, it was this man who had competed with him for the “Cleanse Origin Pill Formula”.

Judging by his complexion, he didn’t seem as healthy as a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator.

It seems that he was hurt when he was young, or when he broke through his realm, which affected his Original Source.

The other party was so eager to get the “Cleanse Origin Pill Formula”, so maybe this injury has something to do with Pill Poison?

Even though it was just a moment, Luo Chen had countless thoughts in his mind, but he didn’t take any action.

He waited quietly.

Not long after, Huo Hu, his face flushed, appeared at the host’s position.

“I’m grateful to all of you for supporting the Huo Family today!”

“This dinner is a thank you.”

“Please, have a seat!”

Wang Haichao, who had been standing and chatting earlier, left Kang Dongyue and Yu Rou and returned to The Great River District’s side.

However, his position was much closer to the front and farther away from Luo Chen and his group.

This scene was noticed by the three cultivators of The Great River District.

The implication was clear to everyone.

After three rounds of drinks,

Huo Hu recited some pleasantries, mainly thanking everyone for their future support of Taishan District’s development.

In the end, the topic fell on the four powers of The Great River District.

Looking at the four people, Wang Haichao, Huo Hu’s smile faded.

“Our Taishan District is small and scant of resources, so to be honest, we really can’t afford to shelter many Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.”

“So this time, we can only accommodate one of your families to settle here.”

“After careful consideration, on behalf of Taishan District, my Huo Family has made a decision.”

“Friend Wang’s Great Lake Gang, which excels in water transport business, can make good use of the geographical environment of the Lancang River. So, we can only allow the Great Lake Gang to stay.”

After delivering the decision,

Huo Hu said no more and looked at the crowd with a beaming smile.

Nangong Jin’s face immediately darkened.

Without any hesitation, Wang Haichao stood up to express that they would get along with the three clans of Taishan District in the future, and work together to develop and so on.

Even if it was expected,

The scene still made Li Yixian feel a little melancholy.

She couldn’t help but glance at Luo Chen, only to see that he looked just as calm as before.

“Of course, knowing the result long ago, any hope would just be self­deceiving.”

After confirming the Great Lake Gang’s stay,

This dinner became somewhat meaningless to continue.

Huo Hu smoothly changed the subject, asking Nangong Jin about their plans.

“Actually, if you don’t have a good place to settle down, I can recommend a place.”

“Liuguang District!”

“It was a prosperous market town a hundred years ago. Although it has been ruined by the Yu Ding Sword Sect, its foundation still remains.”

“Now, there’s only the Bo Family left. There’s certainly enough room for all of you.”

Nangong Jin seemed interested.

Li Yixian looked hesitant.

That place wasn’t known for its good reputation!

“Of course, it’s just a suggestion. Whether you go or not is up to you.”

“But I’m afraid you can’t stay here in Taishan District for much longer.”

Li Yixian and Nangong Jin looked at each other.

They’re being asked to leave!

Huo Hu was very satisfied with the current outcome.

The auction ended smoothly, the Great Lake Gang stayed back as the Huo Family’s helper.

As for himself, he was also able to avoid the vortex of the Flame Alliance getting involved in the conflict between the two Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects.

In a few years, when the Huo family is stronger, he can return to the Flame Alliance to cultivate further, everything proceeding methodically.

Seeing the worried look on Nangong Jin’s face and the thoughtful expression on Li Yixian’s face, he couldn’t help but smile.

They’re just a few homeless dogs!

And they wanted to squeeze into Taishan District.

Despite it not being a sacred place for cultivation, this was still the foundation of his Huo Family.

However, upon seeing Luo Chen, who remained silent and calm, his smile faltered a bit.

He really didn’t like this guy.

After the dinner,

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators descended from Red Toad Mountain each.

Luo Chen and Kang Dongyue went aside.

The old man took out a roll of map from his storage bag and handed it to Luo Chen.

“This is the map you wanted. There are three safe paths to Tian Lan Immortal City.”

Luo Chen’s eyes lit up and he grasped the map tightly.

“Thankyou, Friend.”

Kang Dongyue waved it away, “Don’t mention it, I’m counting on you continuing to refine a large amount of pills after you’re settled, and continue collaborating with my Kang Family’s Jingshi Pavilion.”
