“It’s been a while, Senior Miao.”
“And how you’ve been, Luo Chen. Seeing that vibrant glow on your face, it seems life has been treating you quite well lately!”
“Haha, all thanks to your guidance.”
“Please, have a seat!”
In a third-floor private room of the Zhong Ding Family residence.
With beaming smiles, Miao Wen and Luo Chen took their respective seats, one facing the other.
Though they had met on numerous occasions, mostly Luo Chen would know Miao Wen, but Miao Wen wouldn’t know him.
Thus, their current meeting was their third formal conversation, strictly speaking.
Yet, they interacted as if they had known each other for decades.
Miao Wen’s ability to create such an atmosphere was due to his years of service as the External Sect Steward.
Luo Chen’s ability to maintain such a demeanor impressed Miao Wen, who couldn’t help but admire his maturity.
Many young people, who embarked on the path of cultivation, would often talk about the Great Dao Path and defying the heavens. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com
However, Luo Chen was different.
He was pragmatic, hardworking, knew his bounds, and always had a clear understanding of his standing.
Even though Miao Wen appeared very friendly, Luo Chen always maintained a degree of reverence towards him.
He thoroughly enjoyed this kind of atmosphere, where he could talk about business without losing his dignity as a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator.
These days!
It’s not easy to serve in a Great Sect.
The internal stewards, despite having numerous perks, had to play second fiddle to the True Disciples, Seed Cultivators, and even, the Golden Core Ascendant Masters.
They must know their place at all times.
Even if they have a higher realm level, they’d need to yield.
Why? Because these True Disciples and Seed Cultivators have a high probability of advancing to the Golden Core Period.
He would receive two thousand Spirit Stones every month.
Not a lot, but Mi Shuhua promised the amount would increase over time.
Back then, he knew that the cunning old Mi had managed to rope in a Pill Refinement Grandmaster.
He was envious but couldn’t blatantly seize it.
Firstly, as an external steward, they have to follow certain unspoken rules and keep the local environment stable.
Secondly, the Broken Mountain Gang managed by Mi Shuhua indeed had a vast amount of resources and manpower.
Even if he seized the gang, he’d lack the time to manage it.
So his envy was merely a passing thought.
However, an opportunity came!
Upon receiving Mi Shuhua’s Sound Transmission Jade Pendant, Miao Wen almost instantly made up his mind without any hesitation.
He verbally agreed to rescue him immediately.
In reality, he stayed put at Yu Ding Sword Pavilion and eventually sent his younger brother Luo Tianhong to handle it.
As a result, Mi Shuhua died.
Now he could genuinely cooperate with Luo Chen.
In truth, it wasn’t entirely genuine, but as long as they didn’t report it upwards, who really cared?
The local people would respect him, and Elder Pang solely focused on his cultivation, turning a blind eye.
Therefore, he finally got hold of a reliable and profitable source of income!
While looking at the young man across him, Miao Wen showed the most cordial smile he had ever had.
“Luo Chen, how is your Luo Tian Creed developing?”
Luo Chen gathered his thoughts. This was his ‘investor’ who had funded his startup.
It was time for him to report his progress.
“Though it’s not even a tenth as big as the former Broken Mountain Gang, it’s starting to take shape. Within half a month at most, it should be ready for normal operations.”
Miao Wen’s eyes gleamed!
Half a month of operations, a month of pill refinement, and another month of pill distribution..
