His gaze was locked onto a young figure.

The youth sat beside a Spirit Spring resembling a Yin-Yang fish. The contrasting energies of blazing heat and icy chill cascaded out, drawn in and out by the young man’s cultivation technique.

The young man’s aura fluctuated inconsistently.

After a long while, Duan Qiankun sighed deeply and left the mountain peak with a tinge of disappointment.

Someone was waiting for him on the mountain path.

“Clan Chief, what about the young master?”

“He has not yet recovered to his peak state, and it’s not suitable for him to attempt a breakthrough.”

The ancient voice carried a thick accent of bitterness and disappointment.

A stark disappointment and regret was apparent on Duan Qiankun’s face.

If the person from his clan was not Duan Rui, but Duan Feng, would there still be such a massive consumption of resources just to reach Foundation Establishment?

But this question… There was no answer to it.

As one grows old, they dwell more on these useless musings.

As he strolled along the mountain trail, the thick clouds of mist around him naturally parted to make way.

“What about Duan Feng? Is he still refusing to return?”

The middle-aged man in black clothes behind him answered, cautiously, “He refuses. He said Luo Tian Creed is not so weak. Even if he does not return to the clan, he is well capable of reaching Foundation Establishment stage.”

“Hmph…”

Duan Qiankun sneered, wanting to accuse him of dreaming.

Establishing a Foundation, how hard it is!

Duan Rui, with the full support of a clan, had many Foundation Establishment Spirit Medicines gathered for him, and even two Foundation Establishment Pills were prepared for him.

Yet to this day, he has not been able to succeed.

A person who hasn’t even established foundation, belonging to a group of rogue cultivators where he was not even the leader dared to harbor such fantasies.

How naive!

“No, perhaps it’s his blind trust in Dan Chenzi.”

Dan Chenzi, was Luo Chen’s Taoist name.

It was a name given to him by Mi Shuhua in order to promote the Jade Marrow Pill.

These Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, before they knew Luo Chen’s real name, had been using the name Dan Chenzi to refer to him.

The black-robed cultivator said, “I cannot comment on Dan Chenzi’s pill refining skills, but his power is indeed quite profound. During the last beast tide, Luo Tian Creed was initially in great danger, but Dan Chenzi resolved it effortlessly.”

“I know about that.” Duan Qiankun pondered, “I observed that fight with the Fu Family from the sidelines. Such a young age, yet he already mastered the Second Order Technique! Unfortunately, he is not a disciple of the Five Elements Divine Sect.”

“Not only Dan Chenzi, Battle Hall’s Wang Yuan is even more fearsome. With his own power, he managed to confront the Second Order Blast Ape, causing our clan’s plan to fall apart,” the black-robed cultivator added.

Dan Chenzi, Wang Yuan!

Those two names were muttered under Duan Qiankun’s breath.

If he aligns himself with these two individuals, how could the Duan Family ever have a moment’s peace?

“It’s a shame that I can’t act personally. Nor am I allowed to intervene.”

Duan Qiankun shook his head, feeling the terrifying forces coming from his back. The relationship with Yu Ding Sword Sect was something everyone would be wary of.

Until they could be completely tested, all Foundation Establishment Forces in The Great River District could only keep their desires in check.

Especially as he had recently agreed to forge a weapon for someone, making him unable to get away.

“Oh yes, did you find that Foundation Establishment cultivator named Xiong that I asked you to look for?”

The black-robed cultivator quickly nodded, “Found him.”

“What did he say? Does he agree to serve the Duan Family?” Duan Qiankun seemed quite interested in this matter.

“He said he could, but…”

This “but” made Duan Qiankun frown.

He knew who Xiong Kun was.

This person was an unadulterated rogue cultivator, wandering through The Great River District.

Surviving entirely on hunting Demon Beasts, he roamed the vast wilderness year-round.

His strength was formidable, comparable to a sect’s Foundation Establishment cultivator!

However, this person was known to detest restrictions and based his decisions solely on frank interests.

The reason he knew of this person was due to an unintentional disclosure from Mi Shuhua during a conversation.

He was a helper roped in by Mi Shuhua for a hefty price.

After all, a rogue cultivator, who hunted in the wilderness year-round, naturally had a foundational cooperation with Broken Mountain Gang.

With a bit of generous offer from Mi Shuhua, Xiong Kun chose to cooperate with him.

Back then during the Siege of Mi Shuhua, Mi Shuhua exhausted all his cunning to buy time, one reason being to wait for Xiong Kun’s rescue.

Now, he wanted to do whatever Mi Shuhua did — he wanted to take Xiong Kun under his wing.

For this, he paid a heavy price.

But it seemed that Xiong Kun was not satisfied yet?

“What’s the issue?”

“He said that he could become a guest cultivator for the Duan Family. However, we must increase the payment!”

“What?”

Facing Duan Qiankun’s grim expression,

The black-robed cultivator gave a bitter smile and said, “He agreed to protect the Duan Family for thirty years. However, on top of the original conditions, he wants an additional ten percent of all Duan Family income! Not only that, but he also wants the Duan Family to devote all their resources to create a Magic Item for him!”

After hearing these words, Duan Qiankun’s face turned extremely ugly.

The original conditions were already generous enough.

And now he wanted another ten percent of Duan Family’s income!

In the future, without him, the Duan Family’s income would certainly decline dramatically. That ten percent was probably their lifeline.

And a Magic Item?!

Does he think the Duan Family is some famous Tool Casting clan?

In several hundred years, it was only his generation that had managed to forge the Ze Guo Kui Map.

And this was only possible because of the paradigm they derived from the blueprint of Tian Fan City’s Ze Guo Kui Map.

Asking the entire Duan Family to focus their effort on creating a Magic Item for him, thirty years might not even be enough!

With his chest heaving, Duan Qiankun tried to contain his anger.

Composing himself, he said, “This man’s character is such that his interest is always paramount. If given the chance, he always takes advantage by grasping the other party tightly and unyieldingly..”
