Apart from everything else, just buying medicinal materials for personal use at fair prices could save Luo Tian Creed a great chunk of spirit stones in costs!
Feeling Luo Chen’s powerful spiritual power fluctuations, Li Jinhuang couldn’t help but cheer after his initial shock.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"It would be perfect if you have this kind of power!"
Luo Chen, although self-confident and proud, was also somewhat curious.
"Even if I haven’t advanced to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment, with the strength of the four true Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Luo Tian Creed, we are more than enough to intimidate Dan Yuanzi!"
"You don’t need to worry about this matter, do you?"
Li Jinhuang repressed his smile.
His demeanor became serious again.
"There are many wolves surrounding us, not just Dan Yuan Sect."
Luo Chen shook his head, "It seems that your Li Family’s relationships are not so good after all!"
"It has nothing to do with the closeness of relationships. It’s simply because of the saying: an innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth!" Li Jinhuang blandly said: "The territory that the Li family occupies has a potential limit that might even surpass that of your Danxia Peak. Because of these benefits, no matter how well I usually treat others, once I die, there will always be people who can’t help but make their move."
Pausing for a moment, he took a deep breath.
"The rest of the enemies, as per my judgment, will most likely only briefly observe for the time being."
"Only the Hu family holds a deep-seated grudge against us!"
"Unfortunately, over these years, they have been militarily aggressive, draining wealth from their clan, and forcibly nurturing three true Foundation Establishment Cultivators!"
"Once I’m gone, they will inevitably make their move against my Li family, whether be it for their own benefits or for their hatred!"
The expression on Luo Chen’s face also gradually became serious.
He naturally knew of the Hu family mentioned by the other party.
The Hu Family of Tanqiu, with three people at the Foundation Establishment stage!
For nearly a decade, their influence has been significant, not inferior to Luo Tian Creed, which has successively given birth to true Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Even because the Hu Family is a native clan of Tianlan, cultivators in the Immortal City respect them slightly more and compare them with the Rolling Dragon Ridge Zheng Family, which also has three Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
However, in the eyes of true connoisseurs.
This Hu Family of Tanqiu is not highly regarded.
The three Foundation Establishments in the clan were promoted by completely draining the whole clan’s resources.
And each one of them only has the strength at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment.
This so-called "draining" is not an empty talk.
It’s complete draining.
One would think that having three true Foundation Establishment cultivators, the clan would have a large number of Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators as well!
But it is not like this in the Hu family.
Life for the Qi Refinement Cultivators within this clan is unbearable.
The Hu family is also a medicinal clan, even one of the competitors of Luo Tian Creed when they entered the medicinal market.
In their clan, the assistants to pill refinement are not called Medicine Disciples or Fire Workers, they are called Medicine Slaves and Fire Slaves.
All day and night, pill refinement never stops.
Those who have lost their way, those who have lost their lives due to an explosion in furnace, those whose spiritual power is depleted and cannot advance, they are countless.
Nowadays, the Hu family only has a dozen or so Qi Refinement Cultivators left who are capable of fighting.
It can be said that the foundation of the Hu Family, which has been in place for hundreds of years, has been exhausted in this generation.
By doing so, they have ammassed three true Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
This militaristic and aggressive approach is looked down upon everywhere.
Li Jinhuang said they would brazenly attack the Li family and Luo Chen believed him.
The other party is already nearing the end of their resources.
The foundation of their clan has been drained!
The medicinal business has suffered a major blow from Luo Tian Creed and the Zheng family.
Their three Foundation Establishment Cultivators are in desperate need of cultivation resources.
Under the influence of adverse factors, they have been coveting the Li family for a long time.
It’s only because Li Jinhuang is barely holding things together, haven’t died yet, suppressing their impulses with his middle stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level.
If Li Jinhuang were to die, when would they make their move?
Luo Chen was thinking about how he should respond in this situation.
After a long while, he slowly spoke: "One in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and three in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Luo Tian Creed, can handle it."
Hearing Luo Chen said this, the elderly and haggard Li Jinhuang laughed in relief.
He saw Luo Chen’s determination to protect the Li family!
Seeing his smile, Luo Chen rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"If the situation really develops as such, then my Luo Tian Creed has made such a herculean effort, your Li Family must also pay the corresponding price."
"At least, I want half of the future profits from the Li family’s herb business!"
Half!
For any Immortal Cultivation Clan, this is an unbearable burden!
But Li Jinhuang was still laughing.
"If I were to go, the remaining half of the profits would also be enough to support Ying Zhang’s cultivation during the Foundation Establishment Stage."
Luo Chen nodded in agreement.
Taking away so much profit, he wouldn’t put the Li Family on a road to ruin.
The remaining soup, is enough for the Li Family of Qin Flower River to continue to survive.
Either get rid of them all or make everyone happy, he has always handled things very properly.
However, he had a faint feeling that something was amiss.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on Li Jinhuang’s smile.
"Is there something else you haven’t told me?"
Li Jinhuang nodded.
Luo Chen was speechless, he just knew this old man was still thinking things through thoroughly even on his deathbed.
The reason he felt something was off before.
Is because after thinking it through, he found that whether it was the Dan Yuan Sect, or Tanqiu’s Hu Family, they were all within the scope of Luo Tian Creed’s capabilities.
Even if they teamed up, Luo Chen had no fear!
The part of the benefits that the other party brought out seemed to be within Li Jinhuang’s expectations.
If it was just this, the other party had no reason to make such efforts to meet him before his death.
As things unfolded, Luo Chen would do as he had previously discussed.
Why, do more?
Under Luo Chen’s gaze.
Li Jinhuang slowly said: "The rotational Sect in Immortal City, is changing!"
"I know that."
"Do you know, every time there is a shift, it is the most chaotic time for the power nearby Tianlan Immortal City?"
"Huh?"
"During this time, the Immortal City changes hands, the Sect Cultivators are busy handing over all kinds of things, there is no one in charge up and down, the Enforcement Team is powerless. Chaos arises, and there are always people who take advantage of the chaos to make a profit."
"My Luo Tian Creed has the Ice Castle as a backer, who would dare to violate us?"
"There are many forces that have backers. My Li Family also has old ties with Qingdan Valley, would they interfere when we’re in danger?"
Luo Chen shook his head.
His relationship with the Ice Castle is not as simple as just having old ties.
The benefits involved are something that even the Golden Core Ascendant Master Jueqing Fairy highly values.
If faced with a life or death crisis.
Even if the Ice Castle is no longer the lord of the Immortal City, they would not stand by and watch him, Luo Chen, die.
It must be known, the Jueqing Fairy had already made a huge investment in him, Luo Chen, early on.
Seeing that Luo Chen did not believe him, Li Jinhuang sighed.
"A hundred years ago, the Min family of Danxia Peak was destroyed during the Sect rotation, when the Immortal City changed hands."
"Twenty years ago, the Fu family of Small Mirror Lake, also nearly fell during this period."
"Learn from the lessons of the past, to avoid the missteps of the future."
"Friend, you must not take this lightly!"
Luo Chen was unconcerned.
The other party did not understand how vital the Jade Dew Pill he refined was to the Ice Castle.
Sometimes, the relationship maintained by benefits far exceeds old affections.
Seeing the obvious fatigue on the other party’s face, Luo Chen did not plan to bother him anymore.
"If there is nothing else, I will leave. After your transformation, I will surely send you off!"
"There is one more thing!" Li Jinhuang stopped Luo Chen, who was about to leave.
"Yes?"
"I have a third order technique, I hope you can learn it!"
