Chapter 1183: Chapter 458: Let’s Get Married!_2

Amid his serene thoughts, Luo Chen withdrew his Divine Consciousness.

At the end of the White Jade Steps, a line of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators stood in two rows, respectfully waiting for him.

Leading them was Sima Huiniang, the current Sect Leader of Luotian.

There were many familiar faces among them. A sweep of his Divine Consciousness, and Luo Chen knew that over the years, their Cultivation Levels had also made some progress.

And at the very end of the two rows, there were also quite a few new faces.

Upon seeing Luo Chen emerge, these people, led by Sima Huiniang, called out in unison.

"Welcome back, Supreme Elder, to the mountain!"

Luo Chen smiled faintly, "Don’t stand here; let’s go inside the hall and have a chat while seated!"

In front of the Qi Refinement Cultivators, he maintained a detached and cool demeanor, creating a sense of distance.

But in front of the core force of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators of the Luotian Sect, he was as cordial and kind as ever.

This might be different from the management philosophy of modern companies before his transmigration.

In those companies, the big bosses were always smiling at the lower-level employees but straightforward and no-nonsense with the core force or senior management.

But the Immortal Cultivation World was entirely different.

It was a world where formidable power resided within oneself.

Higher Realm Cultivators naturally oppress those of lower rank, without needing to feign politeness deliberately.

To these beings who were merely one Realm lower than Luo Chen, he still needed to treat them well.

Otherwise, they might not feel a sufficient sense of belonging.

At the lightest, they would slack off in their duties; at worst, they might defect or become malicious insiders, secretly sabotaging him.

The resources for his Cultivation after Golden Core would still depend on the efforts of these core members.

He couldn’t afford to treat them carelessly!

Seeing Luo Chen’s consistent kindness, even some old acquaintances felt a sigh of relief.

Once Luo Chen moved to the front, the others also hurriedly followed and entered the Luotian Main Hall one after another.

...

At the highest seat in the grand hall.

Luo Chen was holding a list, examining it with a serious gaze.

It recorded the number of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators currently in the Luotian Sect and specifically highlighted those within the next ten years who were likely to reach Foundation Establishment.

Twenty-five Foundation Establishment Cultivators!

This was the foundation of the Luotian Sect today!

It far surpassed second-tier forces and could almost be considered on par with first-tier forces that had only a single Golden Core Cultivator in charge and had been operating for many years.

This number was somewhat unexpected to Luo Chen.

After all, only thirteen people were present in the grand hall at the moment.

Moreover, in earlier years, the Luotian Sect had lost many Foundation Establishment Cultivators due to numerous wars.

Such as the deaths of Su Xiaolin and Bian Zhen in battle.

The natural end of the life of Sun Sifang, the saint of medical arts, during meditation.

The departure of Murong Qinglian to Luo Yun, and so on.

Unexpectedly, after his many years of Closed-Door Cultivation, the number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Luotian Sect had actually increased.

And among them, there were quite a few familiar names.

Luo Chen carefully read through the roster, while the people below waited quietly.

Suddenly.

"Qi Yi, where is your junior brother?"

The middle-aged man who was called stood up abruptly.

Luo Chen waved his hand, "Today is for casual talk; relax a bit, no need to be so formal."

The middle-aged man gave a sheepish grin, but seemed relieved as he sat back down.

He said, "My junior brother, Xu Jie, passed away fifteen years ago after reaching the end of his life, his Realm stopping at Ninth Level Qi Refinement, at the age of one hundred and eight."

Hearing this news, Luo Chen’s face showed a look of regret.

Qi Yi and Xu Jie were two "spoils of war" Wang Yuan had brought back from Dan Yuan Sect back in the day.

Both were Pill Refiners of some achievement.

Luo Chen had no harsh words for the two, instead properly arranged them to work within the Pill Hall.

Over the years, the two slowly integrated into the Luotian Sect, becoming somewhat renowned Pill Refiners.

He didn’t expect that Xu Jie had passed away.

Seeing Luo Chen’s look of regret, Qi Yi quickly said, "Elder doesn’t need to blame himself; although my junior brother was unlucky in meditation, he had a reasonably good life."

Luo Chen was taken aback.

Sima Huiniang sent a telepathic message from beside him, briefly explaining the situation with Xu Jie.

After integrating into the Luotian Sect, with the skill of a Pill Refiner and the generous treatment of the sect, Xu Jie’s life was indeed quite comfortable.

He had advanced to the Ninth Level Qi Refinement and was also quite wealthy.

Realizing the difficulties in Cultivation and his low talent, he lost the ambition to reach Foundation Establishment and, relying on his substantial wealth, often frequented the Peach Mountain scenery...

Peach Mountain scenery?

Alright!

Luo Chen shook his head. This little life was indeed quite comfortable; he heard that the other party had once spent a large sum of money to enjoy the charms of a Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator of Peach Mountain.

Not having reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, but experienced a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?

One hundred and eight years old?

Considering the typical lifespan limit of hundred and twenty for a regular Qi Refinement Cultivator, he was short by more than a decade; probably due to the strains of that experience.

Luo Chen inquired about Qi Yi’s needs after Foundation Establishment and his needs in Pill Technique, then encouraged him with a few words.

Then, he looked towards a young man.

"Lou Ying, right?"

The young man stood up spiritedly, about to greet formally, then remembered Luo Chen’s earlier words about not needing formality and awkwardly sat back down.

"For Elder to remember Xiaolou’s name is an honor for Xiaolou," he said.

Before the official announcement that Luotian Sect would be reorganized, the internal Cultivators were still used to calling Luo Chen the Sect Leader.

Qi Yi did so, and so did Lou Ying.

Luo Chen didn’t mind these things.

He asked the other party a few questions with a smile.

"The External Sect has developed quite well under your management these years, providing a lot of good seedlings for the Inner Sect, eh!"

"This is Xiaolou’s duty."

"I remember you came from the Combat Hall, right?"

"Hmm, I was brought up by Elder Su Xiaolin back then."

"Xiaolin... Do you feel more comfortable staying in the External Sect or was the Combat Hall more to your liking?"
