The setting sun’s orange glow cascaded across the streets.

The densely packed houses all took on a golden hue.

Standing at the entrance of a small courtyard, Luo Chen basked in the golden sunrise, heaving a sigh of relief.

His negotiation with Old Man Yuan was, for the most part, a success.

It could be because they had conducted a business deal involving pineapple wine, or perhaps because he found Yuan Xiao Yue a safe and profitable job that involved gathering spirit stones.

Either way, when he brought the wheelchair to Old Man Yuan’s front door, the old man didn’t reject his proposal after hearing it out.

Instead, he said that he would try to discuss it with Long Panhu, the new Mining Hall Master.

Whether it would work out or not, he couldn’t guarantee.

From behind, a soft and timid voice of a young girl rang out.

“Big Brother Luo, this is something Grandpa asked me to give you.”

A turquoise gourd rested in the palm of Yuan Xiao Yue’s hand.

“He said that he really likes the wheelchair!”

Luo Chen took the green gourd, sensed it slightly, and was surprised.

The material of the gourd was extraordinary, appearing to be at least a hundred years old.

If it had been engraved with an array, it could easily have been a lower-grade magic tool.

Could Old Man Yuan possibly be so generous?

The thought crossed Luo Chen’s mind, and he couldn’t help but laugh to himself.

Well, Old Man Yuan was not like Elder Chen Xiuping, he didn’t have any characteristics of being stingy.

He was a magnanimous old man, never hiding anything from anyone, which is probably why he was able to raise such competent hall masters as Yue Jianhu and Long Panhu.

Luo Chen shook the gourd and sounds of liquid swishing within could be heard.

“Xiao Yue, how was the business at the stall today?”

Yuan Xiao Yue wrung her hands, her face full of excitement.

“It was really good! I tried to use your method of shouting and there were quite a lot of people who came to buy the snacks. It’s just…”

When he first met this little girl, she was like a young cub that was too timid to face people.

Later when she mustered the courage to set up a street food stand, she still behaved shyly, like she was afraid of interacting with others.

Now, in the span of a day, even though she was still soft and weak, there was a bit more confidence in her.

Indeed!

Back when Luo Chen was in university, after earning some money through selling socks at a stall, he also became much more confident.

Effort and rewards often breed confidence in a person.

He smiled and asked, “Just what?”

“There are many people saying that you’re a ruthless boss, and told me to be careful not to let you deduct my wages.”

Yuan Xiao Yue lowered her voice slightly, her gaze towards Luo Chen was somewhat nervous.

“Sheesh, let them say whatever they want, your Big Brother Luo is not that kind of person.”

Luo Chen dismissed the issue with a wave of his hand, looking quite magnanimous.

But as he turned to leave, there was a gritting of teeth on his face.

Throughout my life, I’ve been diligent and earnest, making great contributions to the country, society, and the Immortal Cultivation World!

How did I become a ruthless boss?

I’ll have a bone to pick with anyone who spreads such rumors. They better watch out!

When he returned to the courtyard, not only was Gu Caiyi there to welcome him, but also the couple Qin Liangchen and Murong Qinglian.

They were gathered in his Reverse Room, talking and pointing at things.

Upon seeing Luo Chen, Murong Qingleian smiled.

“Your house has been repaired, and it’s much better than before!”

“Really?”

Luo Chen’s eyes lit up as he entered the house.

Upon inspection, he was extremely satisfied.

Before, the Reverse Room was indeed spacious, but because it faced south and was near the alleyway, the windows were always closed.

As a result, the room was perpetually dim and damp.

But after the houses were rebuilt, two skylights were installed on the roofs.

Laid with glazed tiles from the Immortal Residence, they could guide in natural light from outside.

Moreover, the young man who was renovating the house was very considerate, installing partition walls for his bedroom, living room, kitchen, and Pill Room.

In this way, the house finally had a normal layout.

Overjoyed, Luo Chen made a grand gesture.

“Today we move into the new house, I will personally cook and treat everyone to a meal!”

The others all smiled and agreed.

As they dined that evening, Qin Liangchen and Murong Qinglian exchanged a glance and subtly nodded as they saw Luo Chen pouring wine from a green gourd.

That gourd was a specialty product of the Yuan family.

It was from a gourd vine that Yue Jianhu had transplanted back from a Spirit Land in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range. Although it wasn’t considered a Spirit Plant, but if aged long enough, it could yield some spiritual effects.

That’s why Old Man Yuan’s Pineapple Wine, although made from ordinary ingredients, tasted quite remarkable.

The reason was that he used a few of these large gourds to store the wine, thus it obtained the effects of a Spirit Wine.

Now that Luo Chen was in possession of a green gourd that was over a hundred years old, it showed that Old Man Yuan had agreed to support him.

That was a good sign!

If Luo Chen truly was able to control the Pill Hall, he and his wife would also gain another ally within the gang.

The Broken Mountain Gang of today was indeed not as pure as before, they needed allies.

Of course, perhaps this secluded sect hadn’t ever been pure from the start.

It was just that previously they were lured in by Mi Shuhua, only now have they slowly started realizing they were mistaken.

After a round of drinks, Luo Chen brought up his proposition from today.

“Will there be any trouble if Sister Caiyi joins the Broken Mountain Gang?”

Gu Caiyi, who was sitting next to him, looked somewhat nervous as well.

This affected the source of her cultivation resources going forward.

Without any hesitation, Qin Liangchen stated, “There will be some trouble, but not much. The main issue lies in your plans of placing her in the Pill Hall.”

Murong Qinglian explained further: “The Broken Mountain Gang always welcomes rogue cultivators from the Great River District to join. We don’t care too much about Early Stage Cultivators, but Middle Stage Cultivators are the main ones we recruit.”

“As for Late-Stage Cultivators, we are more cautious and need someone to introduce them.”

Luo Chen laughed, “With Big Brother Qin and Sister-in-law’s recommendation, there shouldn’t be any problems, right?”

Murong Qinglian shook her head, “That’s only for ordinary Late-Stage Cultivators, for a Ninth Level Qi Refinement Cultivator, the Gang Leader’s permission is required. The admission of Broken Blade Xu Renke was decided by him.”

Looking at the nervous Gu Caiyi, Murong Qinglian’s expression became serious.

“Moreover, it is still ambiguous as to who will compose the Pill Hall after it is established.”

“If you reserve a position for Caiyi now, I’m afraid Mi Shuhua would not agree.”

After she finished speaking, the atmosphere became somewhat tense.

After a moment, Luo Chen softly said, “I need a trustworthy Ninth Level Qi Refinement Cultivator in the Pill Hall!”

Qin Liangchen sighed, he had already been given the title of Elder.

Furthermore, his newly attached right hand was still in the recovery and adaptation stage, there was a high possibility that he could not join the Pill Hall.

But in order to ensure that the hall could defend itself, the Broken Mountain Gang would definitely assign capable people to it.

Of course, you can also see it as assigning high-ranking Qi Refinement overseers.

Considering the predictable situation, it was natural that Luo Chen would have such a requirement.

“This issue, I’m afraid we need to discuss earnestly.”

“I’m sorry for the trouble, Big Brother Qin.” Luo Chen exhaled.

Gu Caiyi also offered a drink to Qin Liangchen, “I’ll have to trouble you more, Qin.”

Just as the meal was coming to an end, Luo Chen suddenly asked about the internal situation of the gang.

“How far has the establishment of the Pill Hall progressed?”

“The location has been confirmed, it is Crescent Valley near our Medicine Hall. For the staff, the Late-Stage Cultivator has not been decided yet, but the Medicine Hall will send ten Middle Stage Cultivators and the Headquarters is also considering establishing teams for transportation and sales.”

Murong Qinglian uncertainly said, “In no more than ten days, you should be attending the Gang’s Internal Meeting!”

Ten days, huh?

That should be enough!

Thought Luo Chen silently..
