Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1674: Chapter 615: Rogue Cultivators Are All Poor Ghosts, Immortal Second Generations Are Gold Mines_3

It was precisely because of his exceptional Spirit Planting Technique that he wished to leave behind a legacy before his lifespan ran out.

Over the years, he had already begun accepting disciples and establishing a sect.

The location of his sect was not within the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range but rather on a small island with a Third Order Spirit Vein, within the territory of the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering.

Strictly speaking, he was no longer considered a Rogue Cultivator.

However, no one really cared about such distinctions.

After all, among the Seven Great Nascent Soul True Masters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, three of them either had their own sects or clans.

Listening to the other party’s eloquent speech, Luo Chen’s memories of Spirit Plant Cultivators and Spirit Planting surfaced once again.

This path was not unfamiliar to him.

In the earlier years, when he was with Luo Tian Sect, Yuan Dongsheng, a Spirit Plant Master under his command, had cultivated Spirit Trees and Spiritual Flowers for him outside his Tianlan Peak Cave Mansion.

Though that man was now gone, the knowledge he had left behind still resided in Luo Chen’s mind.

At this moment, as he listened to Sang Jiugong’s articulate discourse, Luo Chen both agreed and inquired about certain issues in Spirit Plant cultivation that concerned him.

The other party, earning his reputation as someone who had once cultivated Fourth-Order Medicinal Materials, provided answers to Luo Chen’s concerns one by one. Even when Sang Jiugong was not adept in certain areas, he offered his conjectures and suggestions within his abilities.

Nearing the end of their conversation, Sang Jiugong let out a sigh.

”It’s not that I, an old man, covet profit and foolishly breach regulations to bring these prodigies of Divine Yuan City to the Three Oceans Defensive Line. Instead, it’s because these individuals have extraordinary origins and abundant wealth. Befriending them brings benefits to my Tusang Gate as well.”

Luo Chen was puzzled, ”Yet these individuals don’t belong to our Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering. Why wouldn’t you, Elder, choose to befriend the Rogue Cultivators within the Gathering?”

To this, Sang Jiugong let out a derisive laugh.

”Rogue Cultivators?”

”Such people are not worthy of trust.”

”There’s an old saying: Those with stable property have stable minds; those without stable property lack stable minds. Without stability of the mind, they indulge in unchecked behavior, committing all manner of deeds for their own gain. Qingyang Zi, I trust you can grasp the meaning of this saying!”

Luo Chen was silent.

Such reasoning was something he naturally understood.

Rogue Cultivators have no fixed residences and wander from place to place.

The notion of good and evil is but a fleeting thought for them. They may act as refined gentlemen before others, only to turn into veiled Calamity Cultivators when hidden from view—how could they be trusted?

Conversely, those cultivators with fixed assets have their actions restrained by the sects or clans supporting them, ensuring they cannot act recklessly.

If it were Luo Chen, he would also prefer to establish goodwill with Sect Cultivators.

However...

”Elder Sang, it seems you hold me in a different regard.”

”Haha!”

Sang Jiugong burst into laughter, ”The others may not know you, Qingyang Zi, but this old man is privy to a bit of your reputation. That Eight Hundred Li Penghu—surely it hasn’t been left idle these past few years, has it?”

Luo Chen raised a brow, then broke into a knowing smile.

As he gazed outward, he remarked wistfully.

”By that reasoning, these cultivators from Divine Yuan City might truly be hidden treasures.”

”Indeed they are. Each of them represents the future hope of their respective factions. Given time, as long as they do not perish, they are sure to rule their domains. Building connections with them will bring immense benefits not just to ourselves, but to our descendants as well.”

At this point, Sang Jiugong suddenly gestured outward.

”Qingyang Zi, would you be interested in humbling yourself to forge ties with them?”

”Me?” Luo Chen hesitated.

Sang Jiugong nodded, ”Yes, with your widely-known title of Demon King Qingyang, these ’children of tomorrow’ raised under the protective wings of their elders—their reaction will likely be more curiosity than anything aside from respect. If you take the initiative to humble yourself, they will no doubt be overjoyed.”

At this moment, Luo Chen indeed felt some intrigue.

Not because he cared about future connections with the younger generation, but because of something Sang Jiugong had mentioned earlier—these individuals have extraordinary origins and abundant wealth!

In other words, they were rich!

Luo Chen’s initial plan had been to establish the Qingyang Store’s brand and earn money from the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering’s Rogue Cultivators.

However, most Rogue Cultivators were penniless wretches!

Making money from poor wretches could never compare to earning from these ”Immortal Second Generation” offspring—it was infinitely more satisfying!
