Chapter 505: Chapter 240 True Invincibility?_2
“`
“After that, in order to compete for a larger elixir market, the two factions began a price war, continually reducing the prices of elixirs.”
“As for the Shou Family within the Nanhuang Divine State…”
“This is probably a pawn pushed forward by other alchemist families on the Xuanyuan Continent to test the bottom line of Wan Dan Sect and Divine Elixir Sect.”
“If Wan Dan Sect and Divine Elixir Sect continue to fight fiercely without regard for the Shou Family in the Nanhuang Divine State.”
“Then, more alchemist families will emerge, vying with Wan Dan Sect and Divine Elixir Sect for a larger elixir market and more benefits.”
The Carefree Monk asked, “But if the Shou Family from the Nanhuang Divine State is eliminated by the combined forces of Wan Dan Sect and Divine Elixir Sect, what will the situation be like afterward?”
Luo Changfeng put down his cup of tea, which was already empty.
He looked up into the distance, then answered in a low voice, “If the Shou Family within the Nanhuang Divine State is dealt with by Wan Dan Sect and Divine Elixir Sect, the alchemist families who had pushed the Shou Family forward will likely choose to lie low for a while, right?”
“After all, no matter what.”
“Even if Wan Dan Sect’s overall strength has been greatly damaged due to the emergence of Divine Elixir Sect.”
“The sheer size of Wan Dan Sect and Divine Elixir Sect is still there.”
“Neither Wan Dan Sect nor the newly established Divine Elixir Sect, those two are not something that alchemist families, which have been suppressed for countless years and could only pick up the markets unwanted by Wan Dan Sect, can handle…”
With that, the conversation ended.
Luo Changfeng then poured himself another cup of tea.
He sipped it slowly, bringing the cup to his lips.
Meanwhile, the Carefree Monk was frowning deeply, as though pondering something.
“There’s something off about you…”
Luo Changfeng, who had been drinking his tea, suddenly set his cup down.
He squinted his eyes, looking at the Carefree Monk in front of him.
After pondering for a moment, he spoke softly.
“Off? How so?”
“You’ve got it wrong, I’m just digesting what you’ve just told me…”
The Carefree Monk shook his head vigorously, denying the notion that he was acting a bit off just moments ago.
However, Luo Changfeng wasn’t quick to believe the Carefree Monk’s explanation.
“Is it because you are related to some alchemist families or powers?”
Luo Changfeng thought for a moment, then asked in a probing, quiet voice.
The Carefree Monk shook his head calmly and replied softly, “Of course, I have no such relationships…”
Of course, if he had said this without his gaze wandering.
If he had looked directly at Luo Changfeng without seeming to avoid eye contact.
Then his words might have been somewhat credible.
“It’s your mysterious disciple, isn’t it? The family your disciple belongs to, that’s one of the alchemist families?”
Luo Changfeng looked at the Carefree Monk across from him and asked again.
This time, the Carefree Monk fell into silence.
Not only did he fall silent, but even the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
The doubt creeping into his gaze.
All of this confirmed that Luo Changfeng’s earlier guess was true.
“No.”
“You’re wrong.”
The Carefree Monk took a deep breath and let it out slowly, still not ready to admit anything.
“Alright, let’s leave this matter and this topic here.”
Luo Changfeng smiled slightly.
He then shifted his attention from the Carefree Monk to other things.
Occasionally drinking a few sips of tea.
Every so often, feeling the breeze, looking around at the scenery.
This feeling was quite comforting.
“`
Even the comfort made him want to close his eyes and take a short nap.
…
“How did you know about that matter just now?”
After a long silence between the two of them,
the Carefree Monk sitting before Luo Changfeng seemed unable to hold back anymore.
He spoke up first, asking Luo Changfeng in a low voice.
“That matter? What matter?”
“What ‘how did I know’ are you referring to?”
Luo Changfeng smiled slightly, seemingly asking deliberately.
“Naturally, the matter from just now…”
the Carefree Monk said.
Luo Changfeng still responded nonchalantly, “Which matter from just now?”
The Carefree Monk couldn’t hold back any longer and said in a low voice, “Naturally, the matter you spoke of just now, about my disciple’s family affairs, so how did you come to know of them?”
Luo Changfeng laughed unhurriedly.
He took another sip of tea before speaking slowly, “Naturally, it was a guess…”
The Carefree Monk was a bit stunned, “A guess? You guessed it?”
Luo Changfeng shrugged calmly and said, “A bit of speculation, plus a bit of conjecture, plus the things you revealed in front of me, made it very easy to know these things. However, I have a suggestion, which I think is necessary to share with you…”
“No, to be precise, it should be shared with the Alchemist Family behind your disciple.”
The Carefree Monk fell silent for a moment, then asked, “What suggestion?”
Luo Changfeng thought for a while, put down his teacup, and said in a slightly serious tone, “Regarding the current elixir market, it’s better not to get involved as much as possible. The Wan Dan Sect is not very tolerant, and if this gambit is lost, what they will face is death and even the extermination of the entire clan, none surviving…”
The Carefree Monk slightly lowered his head, falling into silence.
“Is it that serious?”
Luo Changfeng spoke earnestly and calmly, “It’s not an exaggeration. In the world of cultivation, talent and resources are both indispensable.”
“For now, the Wan Dan Sect is preoccupied by the Divine Elixir Sect and temporarily doesn’t have the time to deal with the Shou Family in Nanhuang Divine State.”
“Moreover, the Shou Family’s actions are not too aggressive and still within the Wan Dan Sect’s tolerance limit.”
“That’s why the Wan Dan Sect can still bear it.”
“But as time goes on, as the market swallowed by the Shou Family in Nanhuang Divine State grows larger, what awaits the Shou Family isn’t a bright future but a bottomless abyss and endless despair.”
“The early bird gets the worm, but it can also be the first to rot, there is some truth to that saying.”
“So…”
As Luo Changfeng was speaking, he glanced once more at the Carefree Monk in front of him, who was now bowing his head, seemingly in deep thought.
Then he continued, “So, even if you want to snatch some benefits from the hands of Wan Dan Sect and Divine Elixir Sect, the most crucial thing to do right now is to lay low as much as possible and silently wait for the opportunity. When an excellent opportunity arises, it won’t be too late to make a move then…”
…
After finishing the conversation on this topic with the Carefree Monk.
Soon after, that fellow left this small courtyard.
Clearly, just a moment ago,
that old fellow was still saying he was worried about Luo Changfeng’s safety and wanted to stay a bit longer to watch over him.
Yet in the blink of an eye…
things had turned out this way.
Indeed, his precious disciple was still of greater importance to him.
However, even without the Carefree Monk here, it wouldn’t be a big issue.
After White Brahma Temple wiped out the Great Flame Dynasty’s influence within the Da Feng Dynasty’s territory, they would probably need some time to digest their gains.
By the time White Brahma Temple has completely assimilated their gains from this trip,
and begins to set their sights on dealing with him, the Qingshi City Luo Family,
it would probably take a long while, right?
Even, Luo Changfeng might have the opportunity during this peaceful time to further advance his cultivation level, right?
“Mortal Transcendence Intermediate Stage, plus all the aces up my sleeve,”
“Though facing White Brahma Temple and the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family should pose no significant problem,”
“if I can advance my cultivation from Mortal Transcendence Intermediate Stage to the Mortal Transcendence Late Stage during this period, then within the Da Feng Dynasty, I can truly consider myself invincible…”
