“Come, let’s toast together!’1
“This journey parts us across thousands of miles, May Sister Xiu Xiu’s trip be smooth, safe and sound!”
Under the moonlight, within the small courtyard.
Five people sat together, eating and drinking, it was quite lively.
If an uninformed person saw this, they might think that a joyous occasion was at hand.
But in fact, this was a banquet to bid farewell to Fu Xiuxiu.
This young lady, who was smart and polite, delicate yet resilient, had left a good impression on everyone.
Therefore, her departure genuinely left the people of the courtyard a little reluctant to part with her.
Fu Xiuxiu put down her cup, her gaze sweeping over everyone, lingering on Gu Caiyi a little longer than the others.
“I’m leaving, some things at home I can’t bring with me, most are left for Feng Xia.”
“But I’ve also prepared some gifts for you.”
“This is an Odor-removal Talisman, Xiao Ling, you’ve been in the Hundred Herbs Pavilion for a long time, over time your body will be layered with various herbal scents, I know you don’t like those mixed fragrances. With this talisman, activate it regularly, and you can remove the stench.”
Xiao Ling looked astonished at the pristine talisman.
“Sister Xiu Xiu, it’s you who are leaving, shouldn’t we be giving you gifts? How can we accept these?”
Fu Xiuxiu tenderly shook her head, and from her storage bag took out two pots of spirit plants.
“Moonlight Grass, Xiao Luo, I know, you’ve always liked it, now I can’t take it with me, so I’ll give it to you!”
Luo Chen opened his mouth to decline, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it.
The Moonlight Grass was indeed very beneficial to him.
Usually, it can calm the mind, and it even once woke him up from a Heart’s Test.
He later pondered why he would encounter a Heart’s Test at such a low cultivation stage.
Excluding overworking and external stimuli, the cluttered thoughts of a traverser were certainly one of the reasons.
The Moonlight Grass was indeed a cultivation tool.
While he was hesitating, Fu Xiuxiu had already handed another small pot to the surprised Gu Caiyi.
“A budding Purple Sunflower, I’ve always wanted to grow one in the courtyard but always failed.”
Someone blushed upon hearing this.
“This pot, I’ve only just cultivated it successfully a couple of days ago.”
“Caiyi, I’ll give this flower to you.”
This time, her eyes no longer held any dislike for Gu Caiyi, only faint admiration.
“You’re different from them, and now you’ve even separated from the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, perhaps your future will be a bit harder.”
“But I believe that even if you’re blind from dust, your heart remains clear, knowing what exactly you want. Although you might be stuck in the mud in the future, I hope you’ll always be like this Purple Sunflower, eternally chasing the sun.”
Gu Caiyi covered her mouth, the rim of her eyes moistening with tears.
Women are always so emotional.
Luo Chen held the pot of Moonlight Grass, which had always been looked after by him and now truly belonged to him.
He said embarrassingly, “We should be the ones to gift you, Sister Xiu Xiu. After all, you’re going to a completely unfamiliar place, and you need to start everything from scratch.”
“Starting from scratch?”
Fu Xiuxiu lightly chuckled, “Yes, upon leaving this heartbreaking place, should start from the beginning.”
Looking at the melancholic few, she suddenly shared some news.
“Shen Fu Sect gave me an opportunity, as long as I establish my foundation within five years, I can become an inner disciple.”
The three of them were surprised.
She’s failed it once before, but Shen Fu Sect was willing to give her another chance?
Doesn’t this mean that Shen Fu Sect would provide her with a Foundation Establishment Pill?
Fu Xiuxiu didn’t explain the details.
But everyone no longer worried for her, instead, they wished her success, that when she becomes successful she wouldn’t forget them!
“Starting journey in five days?”
“I should be free by then, let me send you off!”
As if remembering something, Luo Chen said so.
In the quiet room, Luo Chen consumed a Qi Nurturing Pill and circulated the Longevity Technique amidst the faint fragrance emitted from the Moonlight Grass.
After one cycle, his progress on the attribute panel had increased a little.
Even though he felt somewhat tired after cultivation, joyous feelings prevailed.
This feeling that, as long as you put in the effort, you can instantly reap the rewards, was indeed addictive.
Lying in bed, he took out the beast-skin parchment again.
“Blood Evil Qi Pill, I wonder if it would allow me to enter the Beginner stage directly?”
He had as many as twenty-one achievement points, which were enough to initiate into two first-order pill formulas.
But the Blood Evil Qi Pill was a second-order pill.
As he pondered, the words in the achievement points column flickered on his attribute panel, and a few new words soon appeared.
[Achievement Points: 21 points (can be used for the initiation of techniques, spells, and skills of the corresponding realm)]
[The host is currently at the first-order realm, first-order Pill Refiner. Ten times achievement points are required for initiation.]
[For the incomplete, same-rank pill formula, you can increase the achievement points to derive and fill out the complete pill formula to begin learning.]
Seeing these three explanations, Luo Chen was taken aback.
Then, he was thrilled!
It wasn’t that he couldn’t initiate into it, but that he did not have enough achievement points.
Moreover, this system also had the capability to derive and complete incomplete pill formulas.
Does this mean that after he breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he could complete the Jade Dew Pill formula?
Keep in mind, the Jade Dew Pill is not any ordinary elixir.
It is a mainstream cultivation pill aimed at female cultivators and cultivators with a Yin physique. It has a great market!
Moreover, if he sold this pill, he wouldn’t have to worry about causing trouble with the Yu Ding Sword Sect and the Medicine King Sect.
Because this pill is produced outside the Six Realms of the Far East, in the Thirty-Six Realms of the Eastern Wasteland. It is a special product of a sect that is mostly made up of female cultivators.
If he could advance to the Foundation Establishment stage in the future, and complete the Jade Dew Pill, it could become a significant source of income for Luo Chen.
Calm down, keep your composure, don’t panic!
Luo Chen stopped thinking about the distant future and focused on the present.
“Uncle Mi clearly said he had a complete pill formula and an incomplete one.”
“Perhaps I can make good use of it.”
The next day, as soon as it was daybreak,
Luo Chen hurriedly left with Gu Caiyi and headed straight for Crescent Valley.
The Great River District is remote but huge!
Because it is remote, most of the areas near the market have not been exploited.
The best-exploited area is undoubtedly the shanty town built around the Inner City, which has tens of thousands of houses spread out in all directions.
Apart from the areas near the Inner City, the rest is largely scattered.
Just like Luo Chen’s original small courtyard, there were hardly any neighbors within a kilometer.
Cultivators were not fools to this vast territory.
Under the acquiescence of the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion, they reasonably utilized it.
Such as the Li family, Duan family, and Nangong family mentioned casually by Luo Chen and Wang Yuan, which are immortal cultivation clans that have occupied some spirit vein lands.
As the largest rogue cultivator group in the area, the Broken Mountain Gang would certainly not let go of some good locations.
Crescent Valley is one of them.
Upon setting foot here, Luo Chen could feel Spirit Qi that was thinner than in the Inner City but slightly denser than in the Outer City.
“There used to be a Star Silver vein here. After the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion sent people to mine it, it was abandoned.”
“Later, Gang Leader Mi spent a sum of spirit stones, and Crescent Valley became ours,” Sikong Shoujia pointed to the busy crowd in the valley and laughed. “Don’t think it’s just an abandoned mine valley; in fact, there’s a branch vein of a spirit vein underneath which can be used to cultivate some low-rank spirit medicines.”
Luo Chen and Gu Caiyi looked in the direction he pointed, and indeed saw large patches of spirit grass planted in the spirit fields and the cracks in the cliff.
Gu Caiyi couldn’t help asking, “Can this place be used for cultivation?”
“It barely can, but the effects definitely can’t compare with the main spirit vein in the Inner City,” Sikong Shoujia said.
Luo Chen smacked his lips, “It’s already quite good. It’s many times better than the place in the Outer City where I first lived.”
Gu Caiyi, who had also experienced living in the outer city, sighed, “This kind of place would make any rogue cultivator green with envy.”
“Envy?”
Sikong Shoujia sneered, “They need to have the strength to break in.”
Luo Chen and Gu Caiyi both agreed with him.
Crescent Valley was not a public restroom that anyone could enter and leave at will.
This place was home to two of the Broken Mountain Gang’s strongholders.
Among them, there were four experts at the Ninth Level of Qi Refinement, Sikong Shoujia, Murong Qinglian, Gu Caiyi, and an officer from the Medicine Hall.
In addition, there were also six cultivators who had reached the Seventh or Eighth Level of Qi Refinement.
With this lineup, coupled with over a hundred beginner and mid-stage cultivators, and the easy-to-defend and hard-to-attack terrain, it was like a fortress.
Without a Foundation Establishment cultivator, who could take it down?
“Our Pill Hall is built at the safest and deepest part of Crescent Valley.. Hall Master Luo, shall we go see your Pill Room first?”
