Luo Chen intended to inform Wang Yuan about this matter.

However, in the following days, Wang Yuan seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.

As he dared not rashly leave the Inner City, he asked Elder Chen to look for Wang Yuan.

However, even Elder Chen couldn’t find Wang Yuan in his home.

It was said that the door was tightly closed, seemingly unoccupied for a long time.

Helpless, Luo Chen could only keep this matter to himself.

As for wagering?

Was he, Luo Chen, a person who profited from his friends’ lives!

“Forget it, just forget it.”

“There is little that I can do anyway. Instead of worrying about things that may never happen, it would be better if I wholeheartedly enhance myself.”

When the night was deep and quiet, Luo Chen swallowed a Qi Nurturing Pill and continued his cultivation.

The Fifth Level Qi Refinement Stage was just within reach, and it was only then that he would genuinely reach the middle stage of Qi Refinement.

His current Fourth Level was too weak, incapable of sustaining prolonged battles using a magic tool.

In the following days, Luo Chen once again returned to his regular life of Pill Refinement and Cultivation.

His proficiency in refining the Allure Pill had reached the mastery level, resulting in a high success rate of 30%, and as a result, the grade of his pills had improved to a Medium Grade.

After refining his first batch, a thought arose in Luo Chen’s mind.

Should he raise the price?

If a Low-Grade pill could previously be sold for five Spirit Stones, now that it was a Medium Grade, there should be some increment.

Logically speaking, increasing the price was not unreasonable.

However, the words said by Kang Dongyue made Luo Chen realize that it might not be a good idea to raise the price rashly.

The initial price of the Allure Pill was already considered quite high. After all, it had been sold at a high price because of its unique medicinal effects.

Moreover, the spending power of Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators was limited, and a high price would deter potential customers.

“The improvement brought by the medium grade is still too small, raising the price will only result in the loss of returning customers I finally managed to cultivate.”

“Moreover, the money I’m currently making is not insignificant and is sufficient to support my current cultivation.”

“The issue of raising the price should be considered only when the Allure Pill undergoes a qualitative change and reaches the Ascendant Grade.”

After serious consideration, Luo Chen set a future pricing strategy for his core product, the Allure Pill.

Now that he had a plan in his mind, he was not so anxious about everything.

The days slowly passed in a calm and unhurried atmosphere.

Meanwhile, fewer exchanges occurred with his neighbors in the courtyard.

Luo Chen guessed that this change was due to the growing popularity of The Great River District Market.

Even if he seldom went out, on the few occasions he did, he could feel the restless atmosphere wafting through the streets.

Everyone was anticipating the official opening of the Dao Debate Platform, thinking that it would be exciting to watch cultivators’ battles under the full view of the public.

While killing people and seizing treasures, or robbery, might sound exciting, ordinary people didn’t feel involved at all.

With more and more foreign cultivators coming to The Great River District, either high-level cultivators or rich ones, the businesses of local cultivators improved significantly.

What used to be small gatherings on the 1st, 4th, and 7th days of the month, with a large gathering at the beginning of each month, had now virtually become small gatherings every day, each comparable to the previous large gatherings.

Over the Outer City, countless Glints shone in all colors.

The foreign cultivators didn’t seem to care about keeping a low profile, or perhaps they didn’t feel that there was anyone worth keeping a low profile for in such a remote rural market.

Luo Chen, during this time, kept a lower profile, reducing the number of times he went out.

In the meantime, Gu Caiyi came home once.

Yes, Gu Caiyi had been staying at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion all this time. It was said that the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion was also participating in the Program Performances” for the opening of the Dao Debate Platform.

The main performers included the Feathers Clothes Building where Gu Caiyi worked.

This would be an opportunity for her to make a name for herself.

If her performance was good enough, Gu Caiyi’s position in the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion would rise, leading to more generous spending from the cultivators.

However, the Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator who used to be very generous to her, Fei Bowen from Ailao Mountain, had been throwing around less money at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion recently.

“He came to The Great River District on official business. The construction of the Dao Debate Platform did cost Ailao Mountain a great effort. So, with the upcoming opening, he has to be careful about many things to avoid any errors. If there are any mistakes, it’s not just the Yu Ding Sword Sect who would lose face, but also Ailao Mountain would throw away everything inside.”

That was a direct quote from Gu Caiyi.

In response, Luo Chen could only sigh, managing construction projects in the Immortal Cultivation World wasn’t easy either!

Squeak…

The sound of the gate opening caught the attention of Luo Chen, who was in the yard practicing the Wind Riding Technique, jumping up and down.

Who would be back at this hour?

The next moment, he saw a man and a woman staring at him in astonishment from the rooftop.

Thief, you dare to break into my house? You’re seeking death!”

A roar echoed, followed by a golden mace whizzing towards him.

Luo Chen was taken aback. Wasn’t there a rule against fights in the Inner City?

However, startled as he was, his reaction was not slow at all.

With the Perfection Level Carefree Wandering Technique activated alongside the Wind Riding Technique, he flew into the sky like a Roc.

As the golden mace was about to hit, he abruptly retreated several steps, like a swift turning swallow.

This breathtaking mid-air crossing impressed even the burly middle-aged man in the courtyard.

“Well, thief, you know some tricks!”

After he finished speaking, he was about to launch another attack but was blocked by a beautiful woman. She flicked a blue whip, quickly capturing the golden mace that was chasing Luo Chen in the air.

“My Lady, what are you doing?”

The woman in a palace dress rolled her eyes at him, “Liangchen, can’t you see he’s a resident of the courtyard?”

Only then did Qin Liangchen notice that the courtyard seemed more lived-in than before.

The previously vacant Reverse Room now had its door wide open, clearly hinting at a resident’s presence.

Combining this with Sun Shou’s earlier information about a new young neighbor, it was pretty clear to them that this new resident was the young man in the air.

“Come on down!” Qin Liangchen hollered.

With his heart still racing, Luo Chen floated in the air. That golden mace had really scared him.

If he were hit, he would either die or get seriously injured.

“Who are you folks? How dare you intrude into someone else’s home in daylight? Do you really think the Yu Ding Sword Sect is undefended?”

“Hey, you little…” Qin Liangchen glared at him.

However, before he could finish, he was interrupted by the woman beside him.

“Enough, stop fooling around.”

“Is that you, Friend Luo Chen? We are the Qin couple who lives in the west wing. Please come down!”

Phew!

Releasing a sigh of relief, Luo Chen gradually descended.

Truth be told, he had already guessed the couple’s identity when the woman referred to her husband as “Liangchen”.

At the stone table in the courtyard.

The three of them sat on stone stools, becoming familiar with one another.

The atmosphere didn’t turn too awkward. After all, a fight is a great way to get to know each other.

The beautiful woman, or rather, Murong Qinglian.

She then shared an explanation.

Their son, Qin Xiaohu, has passed the entrance examination and successfully joined the Luo Yun Sect.

Having been there for a few months and confirming that nothing adverse will happen, they raced back to The Great River District.

After all, their foundation is here, and their livelihood also stems from here.

They couldn’t possibly abandon everything just because their son was accepted into a good sect and accompany him while surviving on the wind!

“Congratulations to both of you! Maybe in a decade or so, the Qin Family will have a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.”

Luo Chen spoke courteously.

However, it was obvious that this compliment struck a chord with the Qin couple.

Who wouldn’t want their child to have a smooth path in life?

Hearing that, Qin Liangchen chuckled and patted Luo Chen on the shoulder.

You re quite impressive, young man. Despite being at Fourth Level Qi Refinement Stage, you managed to dodge my maces.”

His words were genuine, without any form of flattery.

Luo Chen’s performance earlier indeed took him by surprise.

Luo Chen grimaced, “Elder, you may seem at ease, but I was really scared out of my wits.”

Indeed, my husband was at fault. He’s kind of crude. He actually held back earlier. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Murong Qinglian gave a slight smile, and in the blink of an eye, she took a beast-shaped puppet from her storage bag.

A small token of apology. Please accept it as a gesture.”

Luo Chen waved his hand, “No problem, a fight can lead to friendship. There’s no need for an apology!”

While saying that, he was already holding the puppet.

He played with the puppet shaped like a Pangolin and asked curiously, “Is this a Magic Tool?”
