“The heavy losses suffered by sects like Ghost God Valley are not unique. There are also others like the Ming Emperor Sect, Haoran...”
“Stop, stop, stop, you’re getting off track!”
Luo Chen interrupts Sikong Shoujia’s lengthy discourse, driving straight at the crux of the matter.
“Didn’t everyone from Ghost God Valley perish when their camp was destroyed? How could someone have made it to the Ancient Plains Mountain Range, thousands of miles away, to set up an array?”
Sikong Shoujia spreads his hands, “How should I know? In any case, we didn’t find the body of the Supreme Elder of Ghost God Valley back then. Everyone felt that he hadn’t died. It wasn’t until Ghost God Valley had declined, and the Supreme Elder never returned, that everyone thought he might have been eaten by the demon beasts.”
“But looking at it now, that Supreme Elder managed to escape into the Ancient Plains Mountain Range.”
Through his explanation, everyone finally understood.
As it turns out, the Heavenly Craft Qi Snatching Array is a top-tier third-order array, which can only be set up by a Golden Core Array Grandmaster.
If given sufficient time, its power could rival even a fourth-order array, capable of resisting a Fourth Order Beast Emperor without much trouble.
Moreover, this array has a unique feature!
It doesn’t forcefully require Spirit Stones for the formation. Instead, it can draw on the earth’s veins and absorb free Heaven and Earth Qi from the surroundings.
Even after many years, the array can remain intact.
For this reason, some have speculated that the ruins discovered in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range are the place where a Golden Core Ascendant Master from Ghost God Valley reached the end of his lifespan.”
“It is said that some of our gang members were lucky enough to enter the outer edge of the array and found several stalks of spirit grass more than five hundred years old. There might even be thousand-year spirit grass in the inner part!”
Sikong Shoujia marvels at this, eager to explore.
Someone nearby, confused, asks, “Wasn’t this supposed to have happened four hundred years ago? How are there heavenly treasures that are five hundred, even a thousand years old?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, everyone else looked at him as if he were a fool.
He seemed flustered for a moment, then understood, his face blushing intensely.
The Supreme Elder of Ghost God Valley might have passed away four hundred years ago, but not everything in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range is only four hundred years old.
Under the protection of the array, all the resources inside could have safely grown for an even longer period.
Nothing to say of items being a thousand years old—they could be even tens of thousands of years old.
“Wait, are you implying that our Broken Mountain Gang discovered those ruins?” Luo Chen inferred this from the elderly man’s words.
Sikong Shoujia nodded, “Of course! The Ancient Plains Mountain Range has always been our main area of activity. It’s perfectly normal for members of our gang to be the first to discover such large-scale ruins.”
With these words, the cultivators from the Pill and Medicine Halls were all fired up.
If the Broken Mountain Gang discovered these ruins, then shouldn’t the spoils belong to them?
They, as members of the gang, should at least be entitled to a share, right?
Even if they couldn’t get a share, they could apply to explore the area and should enjoy the advantage of having a head start.
For a moment, all the cultivators in both halls were excited.
“Fine, do as you please!”
Luo Wudi clapped his hands, “Those who want to go, come register with me. Those with higher cultivation will be chosen first!”
In an instant, an estimated eighty percent of the Medicine Hall’s cultivators rushed towards him, each one hoping they would be chosen.
Luo Chen watched it all disinterestedly.
When he turned back, he found a group of Pill Hall cultivators watching below with fiery gazes.
“What are you looking at!”
Suddenly, a roar sounded.
Luo Chen stared at them coldly, “A bunch of women and old men, do you really want to go and court death?”
Most of the people fell silent.
But a few were still quietly mumbling complaints about blocking one’s path, comparing it to killing one’s parents and such.
It was Luo ‘Er Duo!
Luo Wudi’s nephew.
“Those who want to leave, get lost quickly. As the Hall Master, I won’t stop you!”
“But once you leave this door today, don’t ever come back!”
The moment his words fell, Luo ‘Er Duo couldn’t wait and flew down into the valley below.
A few other cultivators also hesitated before leaving the Pill Hall.
“You...sigh!”
The one sighing was Qu Hancheng, because the ones who left were mostly fire workers and those with higher cultivation bases.
Seeing Luo Chen’s anger hadn’t subsided, Qu Hancheng could only give a bitter smile.
With the team broken up, it’s hard to manage.
“Hall Master....”
“What, you want to go too?” Luo Chen turned his head irritably.
Qu Hancheng said anxiously, “I’m old and have several juniors to take care of, I can’t just leave. But, with some people gone, do we still have people to refine the pills this afternoon?”
Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief, patting him on the shoulder in comfort.
“Of course! How can we not proceed!”
“Not only do we have to refine pills, but we need to refine in large quantities! Specialize! Increase!”
“By then, as they fight life and death, we will calmly refine pills. Mi Li, Tang Quan, stop researching the Allure Pill for now, I have another task for you, increase the production of Fasting Elixir.”
“Later, Elder Sikong will send people to set up stalls at the entrances and exits of the Ancient Plains Mountain Range, and although they get to eat the meat, we won’t miss out on the soup!”
As soon as his words came out, everyone in the Pill Hall was stunned.
The smarter ones, like Gu Caiyi, Sikong Shoujia and others, their eyes lit up with realization..
