“Whether I purchase or not?”

Luo Chen said nervously, “If I don’t make a purchase, that would be my own busmess. If I am to make a purchase, I will try to increase the production as much as possible to satisfy your needs.”

“Haha.”

He seemed to be in a state of distress.

Kang Dongyue laughed, and Boss Liu on the side also smiled.

Then, he regretfully said, “I’m afraid we can’t cooperate. The lower-grade pills have significant side effects. If anything happens, the Kang Family might not be able to withstand some people’s wrath.”

With these words, cooperation seemed unfeasible.

Luo Chen wasn’t disappointed, though. He was well aware of the flaws of the Allure Pill.

When he usually sells, he often reminds the buyer not to overdo it.

Further, since his current sales volume remains low, and most of his clientele are whimsical, trouble has yet to arise.

The solution is straightforward.

Upgrade the elixir. Retain the efficacy while removing enough impurities.

Luo Chen was confident in accomplishing this quickly.

According to the Fasting Elixir’s standards, from a beginner to a proficient level, they are all inferior. Mastery and perfection are of medium grade. Once it steps up to the grandmaster level, it can ascend to a high-grade elixir.

But he couldn’t say that!

The pair exchanged a few more words before Boss Liu escorted Kang Dongyue away, claiming to host a banquet for the latter at the Zhong Ding Family.

Being close to the Million Mountains, The Great River District has some local specialties that enticed Kang Dongyue from Taishan District.

From start to finish, he never asked Luo Chen if he could refine medium-grade Allure Pills.

The answer was obvious: Luo Chen’s current output wasn’t high.

Under the circumstances, Luo Chen clearly failed to elevate the pill’s grade, particularly when his guest was a rogue cultivator.

After they left, Luo Chen found Bai Meiling standing quietly in the corner.

“Your herbal medicine.”

“Thank You Ha.”

“Uh, what you’re selling is….”

“Sorry, currently the Allure Pill is only for male cultivators, the one suitable for female cultivators is still under research. Miss XiaoLing if you need help…” “Leave!”

Luo Chen left the Hundred Herbs Pavilion feeling disappointed.

That moment was a perfect opportunity to expand his business and broaden the market, but he couldn’t seize it, nor did he dare to.

He couldn’t promise such an experienced pill refiner that he could elevate the grade of his pills in a short time.

Doing so would raise curiosity about how he did it.

The attribute panel, of course, wouldn’t and shouldn’t be exposed.

Otherwise, they might think he’s a genius in refining pills.

Being considered a genius is not a compliment. Once you gain this kind of reputation, he might be forcibly invited to join the Immortal Cultivation Clans and then become their pill-refining tool, and a spirit stone earning tool.

“My cultivation stage is just too low!”

In the Qi Refinement stage, he was at the mercy of others.

Having a Foundation Establishment stage, let alone Immortal Cultivation

Clans, even small Sects would show some respect.

Even if he joined them, he would have a lot of autonomy.

Sighing, Luo Chen decided to go home.

However, when he passed the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion, he stopped.

A cultivator, a wooden table, and a hanging banner.

The white banner read, “The opening of the Dao Debate Platform; presale tickets.”

The Dao Debate Platform was something Luo Chen heard of for the first time today from Chen Xiuping.

But that didn’t mean he didn’t understand it.

Previously, as he was struggling to find a place to practice techniques, he specifically asked Gu Caiyi.

At that time, her solution was the Technique Fighting Platform privately set up by Yu Ding Sword Pavilion.

Starting from a spirit stone, if you want someone to practice with you, the price has to be hundred times more.

Back then, Luo Chen didn’t have money, so naturally, he didn’t consider this place. Later, he just solved it in the courtyard.

As a result, he ruined the Purple Sunflower Seed that Fu Xiuxiu planted in the corner.

Strictly speaking, the Technique Fighting Platform is also a part of the Yu Ding Dao Debate Platform, but it belongs to a private practicing area.

Now, the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion is intending to fully open the Dao Debate Platform in The Great River District!

Friend, is this Dao Debate Platform also in the Inner City?”

The cultivator at the wooden table is dozing off with his head on the table.

Hearing the noise, he slowly lifted his head.

Luo Chen was startled, then chuckled, “Senior Sun, aren’t you in charge of renting houses? Why are you selling tickets now?”

“Hmph!”

Sun Shou snorted, “To serve the sect, I’m ready to work hard and bear hardships!”

“Respect!” Luo Chen gave a thumbs-up.

Sun Shou sneered, “In a couple of days, the external sect stewards will be appointed by the Inner City to take on this responsibility. What are you doing here instead of refining pills at home?”

Luo Chen pointed at the words on the banner.

“Just passing by, curious. Where is this Dao Debate Platform located, is it within the Sword Pavilion too?”

“How could it be? The Dao Debate Platform has to accommodate thousands and tens of thousands of spectators. There’s no way the Sword Pavilion has room for all those people.”

Thousands and tens of thousands?!

That’s a big claim!

The total number of resident cultivators in The Great River District is just over ten thousand. Including those who come and go, it doesn’t exceed twenty thousand.

The neighboring Immortal Cultivation Clans and some mortal cities are not even included.

Especially the latter, they are simply providing logistical support for The Great River District, that’s it.

And now you’re telling me that a Dao Debate Platform is meant to accommodate thousands and tens of thousands of spectators?

Sun Shou didn’t care whether Luo Chen believed it or not, pointing in the direction behind the Sword Pavilion.

“You know Luo Feng Mountain, right? It’s been renamed Yu Ding Dao Debate Platform.”

Luo Chen looked up, barely able to see the small hill on the edge of the Inner City.

Strangely enough, The Great River District has flat terrain, adjacent to the Million Mountains, and even winds around the Lancang River, hence its name.

But when they built the Inner City, they incorporated a small hill.

In Gu Caiyi’s words, it was a mutual decision made by the Ailao Mountain and

Tian Fan City when they were building the Inner City.

With that hill, they could use its terrain as support for the city defense

formation and suppress the earth’s energy.

It is said that the Inner City’s First Order Spirit Vein also originates from Luo Feng Mountain.

But that mountain is just too small and not very high. Usually barren, nobody took notice after living there for a while.

No one expected Yu Ding Sword Sect to transform it into a Dao Debate Platform.

Luo Chen thought of a possibility – perhaps this hill was left intact in the first place for the construction of a Dao Debate Platform.

“Kid, are you buying tickets?”

Sun Shou took out a Jade Jue from his storage bag, “This time, we’re only selling ten thousand tickets. Buy early for the best experience, or you might miss the grand opening.”

There s limited availability, eh? How much for the Spirit Stones?”

“A hundred Spirit Stones per ticket, excellent value for money.”

Luo Chen covered his storage bag, “Why don’t you guys just go rob someone?

Only a fool would buy a ticket.”

Sun Shou scoffed, “It seems you haven’t witnessed the grand opening of Yu

Ding Sword Sect’s Dao Debate Platform. Let me tell you, witnessing it once can give you bragging rights for life.”

Luo Chen’s eyes darted around, “So you mean to say that you’ve seen it already?”

Of course, ten years ago, during the opening of the Xuelian District Dao Debate Platform, there were battles between puppets, fight against Demon Beasts, Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Second Order Demon Beasts, and so on.”

Luo Chen was stunned by everything he heard, there were so many programs!

Are you buying or not? Let me tell you, this time the main event is the clash of two gangs. Although it’s only a battle at the level of Qi Refinement Stage, it’s a fight to the death. Only one can leave alive.”

He’d heard about the clash of the two gangs before, and knew the number of participants from Elder Chen.

But he didn’t know that it was a fight to the death.

If Wang Yuan were to go on stage, wouldn’t he have to kill his opponent to be able to step down?

Luo Chen hesitated for a moment, “I’ll take one ticket!”

After all, he was the big brother under whose care he was. He hadn’t taken care of him enough.

Whether in lending him books, offering gifts, or even occasional advice.

He needed to go and see for himself. If Wang Yuan lost, nobody would probably

collect his corpse, given his temperament.

“Oh, didn’t expect you, little guy, to have some wealth. Seeing that you are the first to buy, I’ll give you a tip. When the time comes, remember to bet on the Great Lake Gang winning.”

Sun Shou took the Spirit Stones, handed Luo Chen the Jade Jue, and casually said.

Was this inside information?

Wait a minute!

Place a bet?

Great Lake Gang going to win?

what the ...., are you guys rigging the match? Are you planning on throwing a fixed match?
