The Great River District’s Duan Family!
With a three hundred-year history of inheritance, it is said that the family’s first ancestor was not originally from this realm.
He rose during the end of the Open War and learnt the basics of tool casting thanks to his connection with a cultivator from Tian Fan City.
Coupling this with years of exploration and study, he established his own path.
Appreciating the fierce competition within the Inner City,
the Duan Family’s Ancestor chose to occupy a Spirit Land in the then newly founded Great River District, establishing a clan there two hundred years ago. Since then, nearly ten generations have passed by.
The current Clan Chief is of high-ranking, said to be from the third generation. However, these things no longer matter.
What’s important is that they are attempting to compete with the Luo Tian Creed for talent.
Li Wanchun, from Wanbao Pavilion, was not some menial worker.
He was a helper in the Wanbao Pavilion, assisting disciples from Tian Fan City in forging magic tools.
Although he had no distinctive style in Magic Tool Forging, he was well- acquainted with the craft.
It was quite possible that he had learned some real handy skills from the disciples of Tian Fan City.
Luo Chen wanted such a talent for the Luo Tian Creed, intended to be paired with Duan Feng.
The magic tool business was something Luo Chen had always wanted to get involved in!
The problem was that within Luo Tian Creed, only Duan Feng understood it, so it was impossible to expand the business.
But with Li Wanchun’s addition, they could at least make a small breakthrough. By launching a Tool Casting Hall along with acquiring many magic tools from numerous battles, they would have enough stock to start the business.
Unfortunately, Duan Family had similar ideas.
When Luo Chen’s eagle-like gaze fell upon them, the Duan Family Cultivator, who was eloquently speaking and offering numerous attractive terms, felt a sudden chill down his spine.
This individual was a cultivator at the Late Stage Qi Refinement, although his realm was slightly lower than Luo Chen’s.
But being a Family Cultivator, he didn’t feel inferior.
Realizing his own awkward state, he immediately became embarrassed.
“What are you looking at? Where Friend Li chooses to go is up to him!” “Moreover, our Duan Family is well-known for Magic Tool Forging. It will certainly be the best place for Friend Li.”
“If you are not satisfied, you can offer better terms to recruit him.”
He said these words confidently and became increasingly smug as he went along.
The cultivators of the Luo Tian Creed were indignant and ready to argue with him.
After all, Li Wanchun had agreed to join Luo Tian Creed in the first place. “Stop!”
Luo Chen called off the member of Luo Tian Creed.
He stood still, his eyes on the troubled Li Wanchun.
“Where you choose to go, Friend Li, is up to you. The Luo Tian Creed will not use their power to oppress others.”
Li Wanchun stood between both parties, his scalp tingling.
In the past half a month in the Inner City, he had gone through the most difficult times, uncertain of what would happen each day.
The sight of ghostly apparitions outside the tower had greatly shocked him.
At that moment, he thought that as long as he could survive and get out, there wouldn’tbe any worse situations to face.
After coming out and being abandoned by Elder Chu and being left in the Great River District, his spirits was low.
But soon, he was invited to join Luo Tian Creed.
This gradually lifted his spirits.
At least he had found a place to settle down.
Never in his wildest dreams had he thought that the famous Duan Family would also extend an invitation to him.
“This must be what they mean by ‘misfortune leads to fortune’, right?”
That was his previous thought.
Being courted by two powers was indeed a contenting problem to have!
However, when Luo Chen, the chief of Luo Tian Creed, gave him the option to “choose on his own,” he oddly felt somewhat chilled.
In the short term, joining the Duan Family certainly seemed like the best option.
As they specialized in tool casting, it would allow him to apply all he had learnt throughout his life to its fullest extent.
However, there were drawbacks. The Duan Family already had many individuals skilled in tool casting and there was no guarantee that he would be prioritized once there.
Therefore, in the long run, joining Luo Tian Creed would undoubtedly be the better choice.
If he joined Luo Tian Creed, he might get the opportunity to move away from his previous low-ranking position as a helper and take a leading role, showcasing his abilities.
Li Wanchun was not a short-sighted person.
And so, he chose— “I’m flattered by Chief Luo Chen’s appreciation, but I would rather join the Duan Family.”
“Very well, I respect your decision!”
With a hollow smile, Luo Chen left this remark and took his people away.
At this, Li Wanchun couldn’t help but sigh.
After all, he had offended the leader of one party!
The Duan Family Cultivator smirking by his side said, “He really thinks himself to be someone important. He’s just the leader of a Qj Refinement Stage Rogue Cultivator Group.”
“Our Duan Family, however, is a powerful force with a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator!”
Li Wanchun nodded in agreement.
Regardless of the short or long term, he only knew that a force without a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator would certainly not last long.
In the Great River District, apart from the properties of the five Ascendant Sects, there were also many other shops.
Among them, there were shops belonging to the other six sects of the Yu Ding Realm.
However, in the end, only five shops managed to survive out of the Ghost City. The reason being that among these five shops, there were Foundation Establishment True Cultivators!
He had a clear understanding of this, which is why he chose the Duan Family.
As for whether he would offend Luo Chen after joining the Duan Family, he didn’t seem to care much.
Having lived in Wanbao Pavilion for a long time, he didn’t care much for ordinary rogue cultivators.
Not to mention Luo Chen, he didn’t really consider Luo Tian Creed significant in the past either.
Duan Family was the ideal place for him to flourish!
As for Li Wanchun’s choice, Luo Chen was well aware of the considerations.
Uttering respect verbally, his heart was freezing cold.
Lack of a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator was Luo Tian Creed’s biggest weakness.
Therefore, in the competition for talents, they would be at a huge disadvantage compared to other forces.
