Chapter 991 -402 Three in One, Love Me Love My Dog
After returning to Tianlan Peak, Luo Chen’s days seemed to return to their previous calm, without significant ups and downs.
He spent his days cultivating in seclusion, rarely interacting with others.
Occasionally, Wang Yuan would visit to discuss matters concerning “The Flow of All Things” with him.
However, just because he did not venture outside did not mean he was unconcerned with the outside world.
With the Luo Tian Intelligence Net operating at full capacity, a large amount of intelligence would be delivered to Luo Chen’s hands every so often.
After Luo Tian Creed decided to abandon expansion and instead digest the gains from the battlefield, those previous enemies who had contended with Luo Tian Creed or hidden thorns in the dark were caught off guard and suddenly emerged.
They had powerful backers and felt they had strong support on their side, so they acted more and more unrestrained.
Incidents targeting Luo Tian Creed occurred from time to time.
In response, Sima Huiniang departed from her usual style. Apart from sending elites to guard a few merchant groups under her command, she instructed the rest to endure as much as possible.
The outside world simply thought Luo Tian Creed had cowed under the pressure of the Flame Alliance.
Even inside the Luo Tian Creed, there were those who expressed their dissatisfaction.
But only Sima Huiniang knew that they had to wait for an opportunity.
Although the enemies were scattered, they were formidable. If Luo Tian Creed actively attacked to break each one individually, it would likely get caught up and hinder its own progress.
Getting bogged down in a quagmire.
It was better to wait for the enemies to unite before sweeping them away in one fell swoop.
Before this opportunity arose, Luo Tian Creed’s objective was to enhance the strength of its inner cultivators as much as possible.
Under Sima Huiniang’s instruction, Murong Qinglian led the Merit Hall to assess and evaluate the merits of all late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators within Luo Tian Creed.

From them, candidates suitable for Foundation Establishment Seed cultivation were selected to receive Foundation Establishment Pills.
Before long, a list was laid before Luo Chen.
[Law Enforcement Elder of the Combat Hall, Zhou Yuanli, Battle Cultivator Liu Qiang, Gui Jiang]
[Sima Zhen from the Spirit Medicine Hall, Feng Xia]
[Merit Hall’s Chief Auditor, Sima Wenjie]
[External Sect Elder, Xu Xiao Liu.]
…
Each name was followed by a detailed list of their contributions to Luo Tian Creed over the years.
The amount of merits involved indicated the level of Foundation Establishment resources they could exchange for.
But to appear on the list at all meant that at the very least, they would receive a Foundation Establishment Pill!
After Luo Chen reviewed the list, he found no issues, except he made a special notation for Zhou Yuanli.
“Maximize resource allocation, provide him with two Foundation Establishment Pills, and allow him to borrow any Foundation Establishment insights from Luo Tian Creed at will.”
Sima Huiniang had no objections to this extra favor.
Zhou Yuanli was different from the others.
He had been serving as Luo Chen’s guard since the latter’s vulnerable younger days.
Though he had never saved Luo Chen’s life, he had been steadfastly loyal during many moments of crisis, earning Luo Chen’s deep trust.
He was also relatively down-to-earth and upright, decisive in his actions when met with situations.
Over the years, the control of the Law Enforcement Hall had always been entrusted to him, which showed how much he was valued by Luo Chen.
“All these individuals are at the Qi Refinement Stage Finalization and can attempt Foundation Establishment at any time.”
“Additionally, there is another list of names, those with sufficient merits, but who are relatively lower in realm, having recently advanced to the Ninth Level of the Qi Refinement Stage.”
“I plan to focus on nurturing one or two of them as Foundation Establishment Seed cultivators.”
The Great Sects select the best among the Foundation Establishment True Disciples to be Golden Core Seed Cultivators.
Now, Luo Tian Creed is starting to do something similar.
But they are called Foundation Establishment Seeds instead.
The cultivators selected are also late-stage Qi Refinement disciples.
As Sima Huiniang spoke, she handed another list to Luo Chen.
Luo Chen looked down and saw his disciple’s name at the first glance.
[Qu Lingjun of Pill Hall, 33 years old, newly entered the Ninth Level of Qi Refinement Stage. Merits: For years, he has crafted elixirs for Luo Tian Creed, earning Spirit Stones. He has made significant contributions to the development of Luo Tian Creed. Under his leadership, the Pill Hall now has some scale, with five first-order Pill Refiners, thirty Fire Workers, Medicine Disciples… Evaluation: Top grade!]
Seeing this name, Luo Chen could not help but sigh.
The once naive boy had, unknowingly, reached the age of thirty-three.
With the poor talent of Quadruple Spirit Roots, and being generously supplied with resources, he had steadily reached the Ninth Level of the Qi Refinement Stage.
Although it was much slower compared to his peer, Qin Yuanjiang, for a Rogue Cultivator, it was extremely challenging.
“But it seems that Hall Master Qu is not in a rush to establish his foundation?”
“Oh?” Luo Chen looked up, surprised.
Sima Huiniang said with interest, “After Elder Li returned from the battlefield, he grew quite close to Qu Lingjun, often personally guiding his cultivation. He says Qu Lingjun’s talent may be poor, but his determination is steadfast, and given his young age, there’s no need to hurry.”
“Not only that, he has modified the family’s secret technique ‘Nine Returnals of Origin’ and developed a new method called ‘Three Origin Integration Technique,’ which he personally taught to Qu Lingjun.”
“According to Elder Li, having Quadruple Spirit Roots doesn’t prevent one from climbing The Great Dao Path. As long as the foundation is solid enough, with sufficient external resources to follow…”
Li Yingzhang, huh?
Luo Chen contemplated momentarily.
It was after his return from the battlefield that Li Yingzhang began to do this, especially after Luo Chen’s entrapment in the Divine Transformation Relics. His care for Qu Lingjun became even more profound, and the ‘Three Origin Integration Technique’ was also given out during that time.
Is this a case of reciprocity?
Because Luo Chen had saved him, and unable to repay him directly, he channeled his profound gratitude toward his disciple instead?
Perhaps this was a case of “loving the house and its crow”!
“Furthermore, these past years Qu Lingjun has been seeking treatments for Mi Li, frequently bringing Mi Li to visit Sun Shengshou.”
