He had the embossed name card in his hand, bearing the name of Dan Chenzi from the Luo Tian Creed.

A small smile appeared on Luo Chen’s face. “I’d like to discuss a small business deal. I wonder if your esteemed family would be interested?”

“Oh?”

“It’s related to Fu Zhu Deer.”

“Then, let’s hear it.”

After a while, Nangong Qin nodded with understanding.

“Indeed, it’s a good business deal; it seems profitable for both of us.” “However…”

At these words, Luo Chen, who had been full of smiles, quickly turned serious. Nangong Qin forced a smile on his face, “Our family has just moved to this location. We are now in the process of development and barely have room to manage other affairs. For now, we won’t be able to provide a stable supply of Fu Zhu Deer milk for your Creed. So…”

“I apologize!”

Luo Chen’s face slightly darkened. After some polite conversation, he excused himself and left.

Nangong Qin escorted him only to the front of the banquet hall, then he stopped accompanying him.

Watching Luo Chen’s retreating figure, a cold smile formed at the corner of his mouth.

“A mere Eighth Level Qi Refinement, acting like a lord in front of me, does he really think highly of himself!”

Suddenly, a slight movement caught his ear, and he promptly headed towards the back of the hall.

Soon after, he arrived at a quiet room underground filled with abundant Spirit Qi.

Stepping into the room, he took a deep breath and felt his whole body lighten. “Father, this Spirit Vein is extraordinary. It really has the effect of the Second Order.”

The middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on a cushion in the room opened his eyes.

His gaze fell to a corner of the room, full of reluctance.

“It was all exchanged with Medium Grade Spirit Stones. We can’t cultivate here for a long time, we can only make use of it urgently.”

Upon hearing this, Nangong Qin finally understood.

After all, it’s only a First Order Spirit Vein. The Spirit Qi in this place is abundant because a Spirit Gathering Array transforms Medium Grade Spirit Stones.

If they want to cultivate for a long period, the consumption would be huge.

After this realization, he became even more confused.

“If that’s the case, why refuse Luo Chen’s business proposition? Each month we could earn thousands of Spirit Stones; in just one year, that’s quite a sum.” The valuable parts of the Fu Zhu Deer are its antlers and blood; the meat, bones, and milk are useless.

The business deal of Luo Tian Creed is, in fact, creating a new source of income for them.

However, Nangong Jin shook his head.

“Xiao Qin, you don’t understand.”

“In business, we look at not only the profits but also the partner.”

Nangong Qin was puzzled, “Isn’t Luo Tian Creed covered by Steward Miao? He’s from Yu Ding Sword Sect; we should give him some respect!”

“Respect is definitely due. But how should we show it?”

“If we do it wrong, it could actually upset him.”

Nangong Jin didn’t spell it out but instead gently guided the future clan chief of the Nangong family to think for himself.

Nangong Qin, used to this kind of conversation, furrowed his brows and began deep thinking.

After a while, he seemed to have a revelation.

“Father means that what Steward Miao values is Luo Chen’s Pill Refinement Technique. If Luo Chen has a demand in Pill Refinement, we should satisfy it.” “In this way, we would also be considering Steward Miao’s face.”

“But we need to give no special consideration in other areas?”

Having figured this out, Nangong Qin’s mind cleared up entirely.

He paced around the quiet room, speaking fluently.

“With power and the ability to command countless subordinates, one’s ambition will unconsciously inflate.”

“But in Steward Miao’s view, he doesn’t want another Broken Mountain Gang under his command, a Luo Tian Creed that consistently refines pills is enough.” “Therefore, besides the pill business, we should not pay excessive attention to Dan Chenzi.”

“Should we get too close, we could provoke dissatisfaction from him.”

Such a promising child!

Nangong Jin smiled slightly, “That’s the idea. Also, we have to bear in mind that Luo Tian Creed originated from the Broken Mountain Gang.”

“In other words, this power, to a greater or lesser extent, has a deep-rooted hatred against our five great families and even the Great Lake Gang and Lianyun Business Union.”

“During the previous war, how many Broken Mountain Gang cultivators died by our hands, and among the survivors, wouldn’t they have relatives and friends?”

“Under these circumstances, we need to be careful about how we interact with them.”

If we are not careful, we might end up upsetting the other families.”

After listening to these words, Nangong Qin was deeply moved.

Not only did Luo Tian Creed have grievances against them, but their five great families also harbored considerable resentment against the Luo Tian Creed.

Putting everything else aside, Qin Liangchen remains an insurmountable hurdle for the Nangong Family!

Ten of his clan members have died amidst the sky full of golden light, and he himself has also sustained no minor injuries.

If there’s a chance in the future, a decision will definitely have to be made.

“Father, I understand.”

“In that case, from now on, aside from matters related to elixirs, I’ll treat Luo

Tian Creed as a small-scaled rogue cultivator force.”

After finishing, he exited the quiet room.

Walking in the silent secret passage, he suddenly felt something.

Today Luo Chen brought a visiting card, intending to pay a visit to his father who is at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But his father had sent him out instead. There must be some meaning behind this.

It’s acceptable to give face to Steward Miao, but there’s no need to give face to the so-called “Dan Chenzi”.

In the wilderness, a team of thirteen people is slowly walking.

They don’t use the Wind Riding Technique, nor do they ride with magic tools for flying. They are merely walking in a simple manner.

Zhou Yuanh, Liu Qiang are keeping up closely behind.

Sima Xian is leading the others, spreading out in all directions to guard against enemies.

The person in the middle, right now, looks somewhat sullen.

“The title of ‘investor’ for Miao Wen, doesn’t quite fit!”

Luo Chen reflected on his initial negotiation with the Nangong Family, the scene of their reactions embossed in his mind.

They tolerate him greatly. Minor impoliteness is never mentioned.

This is because of Miao Wen’s influence.

However, when it comes to business…

“No, at the beginning Nangong Qin was indeed interested.”

“But after hearing that it has nothing to do with elixirs, he outright refused.”

“So, was it a decision made by the Nangong Family’s power, weighing Miao Wen’s psychology?”

Thinking of this, Luo Chen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Luo Tian Creed is indeed centered around him, serving his pill refinement.

But this power cannot solely rely on pill refinement, it absolutely won’t last.

Maintaining so many people for nothing, is absolutely wasteful.

Even if they can’t reach the comprehensive development of the Broken Mountain Gang, at least several aspects should be developed in parallel.

Luo Chen also does not want to take bigger steps and stretch himself too thin.

Therefore, he just planned to take it slow, using something as trivial as Fu Zhu Tea to do it little by little.

It is not only about opening the situation, but also about testing Miao Wen’s tolerance towards him.

Lastly, Miao Wen and Mi Shuhua are not the same.

Before Luo Chen could fleece Mi Shuhua, he knew about Mi Shuhua this person from Qin Liangchen, Wang Yuan, Zeng Wen and even through the mouths of many cultivators in the Medicine Hall.

Only after understanding the other’s character and temperament, as well as his way of handling things in general, could he be targeted for his capital.

However, Miao Wen, he is a true cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Stage coming from a Great Sect.

He has little exposure, and the external evaluation of him is mixed.

All his understanding of him is not accurate.

Most likely, it might be a mask that the other intentionally displays.

Especially considering the time when Miao Wen unintentionally, yet effectively questioned him.

This person is definitely not as amiable as he appears to be on the surface.

Under such circumstances, he must consider the other person’s reaction in whatever he does.

But looking at today’s test, it doesn’t seem to be great!

Suddenly, Luo Chen stopped walking.

Because Sima Xian came in front of him.

“What’s wrong?”

“Chairman, we may need to take a detour.”

“Huh?”

A huge fort stands in the wilderness plain.

Comer towers rise high around it, its walls are long and new, indicating it was built not long ago.

Flags flutter against the wind.

On the city wall of the fort, hangs a dark cyan plaque, with two words engraved on it — Fu Family!

Looking at this huge fort, with faintly more than a hundred people moving inside it, and even more ordinary people tilling the fields nearby,

Luo Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly..
