Chapter 1628: Chapter 600: Bloodstained Endlessness, Desolate Beast Stone Dragon_4

"How so?"

In the following account by Xiao Buhuan, Luo Chen came to understand the uniqueness of the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range.

Ordinary Fourth Order Spirit Veins are formed by the concentrated gathering of Spirit Qi.

With the Fourth Order as the center, it diffuses outwards, thereby forming a pyramid structure with the Fourth Order at the top, followed by the Third Order, Second Order, and down to the First Order.

However, the main vein of the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range was relocated by the Yuan Mo Sect in ancient times, resulting in its branch veins having nothing to rely on.

After three thousand years of evolution, numerous branch veins have become dominant, absorbing Heaven and Earth Qi, each forming their own peak.

As a result, within the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range, peaks stand in great numbers, and the Spirit Veins of various Orders spread throughout the sky like countless stars, with no trace to be found.

Some Spirit Veins, seemingly of Third-tier top-grade, are in reality empty edifices, filled with Spirit Qi; once a cultivator breathes it in for several months, its Order will fall.

While some seemingly ordinary Second Order Spirit Veins, if well nurtured by a cultivator, might even have the chance to reach Medium Grade, or even Ascendant Grade, and the level of a weak 3rd Order.

For Golden Core Cultivators just entering the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, selecting a suitable Third Order Spirit Vein is almost as much of a gamble as it is for Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering Cultivators to mark its Order, and choosing an excellent Cave Mansion is still akin to hitting the jackpot.

...

After a thorough introduction, Luo Chen couldn’t help but feel profoundly moved.

"Life indeed isn’t easy for Rogue Cultivators! With great difficulty finding a Large Spiritual Vein to settle in, they still face countless difficulties, and one careless move might lead to the loss of tens or even hundreds of millions of Spirit Stones."

This also made Luo Chen become alert, deciding that when choosing his Spirit Land later on, he must be extra careful not to be conned by others.

Having learned from the incident of the Fishing Elder collecting spoils of war, he understood that though the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering seems to be a Holy Land for Rogue Cultivators, it is still just a means for High-Order Cultivators to amass wealth.

Late Stage Golden Core Cultivators, coveting the spoils of Early and Middle Stage Golden Core Cultivators.

And those Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, even more so covet their many years of savings.

Though the fortunes of one or two Golden Core Cultivators might not appeal to a Nascent Soul True Master, over time and in aggregate, the profits become immensely substantial.

This is not dead wealth, but rather a continuous flow of fresh funds. The Golden Core Cultivators under their command, in order to survive, will continuously create more wealth.

He must not genuinely be the leek that’s harvested.

Even if he were to be a leek, he must at least get what he pays for.

"Many thanks to Friend Xiao for the reminder, Qingyang will keep this favour in mind," Luo Chen said with cupped hands in gratitude.

Xiao Buhuan waved his hand, not concealing the smile in his eyes.

"I have several vacant Cave Mansions to recommend. After you head back, take your time to sift through them, who knows, we might even become neighbors," he said.

"Oh, Qingyang would ask for nothing more."

Luo Chen was overjoyed and quickly took note of the several peaks Xiao Buhuan had mentioned.

Time, too, hastened to half a month later.

The Fishing Elder came back, covered in dust and evidently had been to a faraway place.

Upon his return, he summoned Luo Chen and Duan Li.

Even with Duan Li still in a not-so-good state, he no longer delayed the matter and forcibly activated the Teleportation Formation.

...

Within Longyuan Immortal City.

In a palace chamber, the Array Light shone brightly.

As it ceased, the old man’s figure staggered for a moment, but Duan Li couldn’t suppress spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Luo Chen watched this scene calmly and stepped off the high platform where the Teleportation Formation was located.

The Fishing Elder couldn’t help but take another look at Luo Chen, then said, "You both go back and rest for a day or two. Come here in three days to collect the relevant items, and decide whether or not to rent a Cave Mansion in the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range."

Three days?

Luo Chen pursed his lips; this was good, giving him enough buffer time to verify the claims made by Xiao Buhuan.

Duan Li seemed preoccupied, the color of worry faint but unmistakable on his face.

Luo Chen glanced at him.

With Duan Li’s current state, even if he rented a Third Order Cave Mansion, he might not be able to keep it.

Yet without the aid of a Third Order Spirit Vein, his injuries were bound to heal slowly.

Perhaps he was in a difficult position!

But all that had little to do with Luo Chen. If Duan Li wished to heal his injuries, he could offer some help, having once fought side by side.

Luo Chen bid his farewell and left the palace with big strides.

Once outside, facing the somewhat glaring sunlight, Luo Chen couldn’t help but be momentarily lost in thought.

He had now passed the examination tasks, and was only three days away from obtaining the identity of a Four-Star Demon Hunter from the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering.

Could this be considered finding an organization?

"Organization?"

"It’s nothing more than an alliance of slightly higher realm individuals. Others can’t be trusted at all; in the end, it’s still up to oneself!"

Luo Chen gave a wry smile and quickened his pace even more.
