Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1608: Chapter 594: The Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering that Doesn’t Live Up to Its Name? (Part 2)

”Talented Talisman Makers, Tool Casting Crafters, Array Masters, and even Medical Practitioners and Spirit Chefs, we have many such people within the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering.”

”As for those high-order resources, many of them are provided by the True Masters above. They are of no use to them but quite useful for us.”

”Additionally, because we’re close to Divine Yuan City, the Tianyuan Business Alliance also has business dealings with the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, so we’re not short of high-end resources.”

So that’s how it is!

Zhang Jiadi spoke in detail, but Luo Chen’s thoughts wandered, sensing a familiar pattern in this model.

Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering?

Luo Tian Creed!

Isn’t this exactly the model of the Luo Tian Creed established during my Qi refining and foundation establishment period?

Recruiting various independent cultivators, making full use of all kinds of talents, while simultaneously maintaining good relations with other major forces, taking resources that the major forces disregard, and also those that I no longer need as my realm increases, to feed back to the Luo Tian Creed.

It’s just that, the Luo Tian Creed is a low-tier version of the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering.

Also, as the bond with the Luo Tian Creed deepened over time, I eventually went to establish a foundation, creating the Luo Tian Sect, leaving behind my legacy.

Thinking of this, Luo Chen, despite never having met them, felt a certain kinship with the Three Great Independent Cultivators who established the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering.

Once having walked the same path, they are considered ”fellow travelers”.

Having discussed the benefits, it’s time for the drawbacks.

Or rather, to use a different term.

Having talked about the enjoyed rights, it’s time to discuss the ”obligations” that a Star-Rated Monster Hunter must fulfill towards the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering.

When it came to this topic, Zhang Jiadi’s expression turned quite serious.

”Firstly, once you pass the assessment and become a Star-Rated Monster Hunter of the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, the first rule is, you must kill any remnants of Yuan Mo Sect you encounter!”

”Hmm?”

With Luo Chen’s astuteness, he was also taken aback upon hearing this rule, unable to react immediately.

”Wait, you clearly said earlier that the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering is linked with the three major forces. When faced with an unstoppable Beast Tide, the three major forces would also provide support, and regardless of whether the righteous or the demonic comes out on top after the war, Star-Rated Monster Hunters will receive preferential treatment.”

”Yes, that’s what I mentioned earlier.”

”Then explain it to me, among the three major forces including Mo Luo Sect, there are many Yuan Mo Sect remnants. According to what you said, isn’t this contradictory? Are the Yuan Mo Sect remnants within the Mo Luo Sect fools, both providing sustenance and allowing you to manipulate them at will?”

To this, Zhang Jiadi also scratched the back of his head, looking somewhat perplexed.

”I don’t know either, but the rules are just that. Perhaps in execution, there might be some flexibility due to the difference in strength between us and them, but in any case, the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering and Yuan Mo Sect remnants are natural enemies.”

At this point, Zhang Jiadi spoke in a low voice: ”This rule, I believe, has something to do with the Three Great Independent Cultivators who founded the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering. It is said that they all had grievances with the Yuan Mo Sect and formed an alliance to resist the persecution from the Yuan Mo Sect while it still existed.”

Luo Chen frowned slightly; this piece of gossip was news to him.

However, the reputation of the Three Great Independent Cultivators was quite significant, he even knew about them back on Coldlight Island.

Those three, even in their Middle Stage Nascent Souls period, were said to fear no Post-Nascent Cultivators.

Now considering this, there aren’t many Post-Nascent Cultivators in the North Sea Cultivation World; how could such rumors exist?

They must have confronted and successfully survived encounters with Post-Nascent Cultivators to gain such a reputation.

And a century ago, most of the Post-Nascent Cultivators in the North Sea were hoarded within the holy land Yuan Mo Sect.

Perhaps, there really was enmity?

Shaking his head, Luo Chen decided not to delve into these obscure legends between True Masters.

”Continue!”

”Yes!”

Zhang Jiadi then promptly stated the second rule.

This time, Luo Chen was not so surprised.

The second rule is nothing more than in the event of a Beast Tide, the Star-Rated Monster Hunters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering are conscripted to fight.

And those ordinary independent cultivators are restricted much less, often only taking to the battlefield once every few times.

”Anything else?”

”Just one last thing,” Zhang Jiadi said vaguely: ”The gains from the monster hunts of a Star-Rated Monster Hunter must be sold through the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, and external sales are forbidden.”

Luo Chen understood.

This was similar to the mode of the Luo Tian Creed in the past, nothing surprising.

In the Luo Tian Creed, whether it was the gains from Duan Feng’s Tool Casting, the pill obtained from the Pill Refiners, or the yield of the spiritual plant masters within the organization, they all had to be turned in and sold through Golden Hall Gu Caiyi, and only after earning Spirit Stones were they distributed according to ratio and salary to those below.

Wait a minute!

Luo Chen looked over Zhang Jiadi with a faint scrutiny for a while, making the other party feel uncomfortable.

In the Luo Tian Sect, cultivators submitted their production gains, but other unexpected gains were generally handled individually.\

However, for the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, the gains from monster hunting were forcibly regulated to be managed by the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering.

And as for the business involving Demon Beast resources... the operable space within is simply too large.

The interests involved, in and out, could amount to thousands or even tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

For an independent cultivator, this is no small sum.

Luo Chen has suffered through the life of an independent cultivator, calculating every day for a few Spirit Stones, always comparing prices before buying and selling.

The idea of being short-changed by a middleman is something he cannot tolerate.

Zhang Jiadi, evidently a capable cultivator with a strong presence of Evil Qi, yet his star rating isn’t high, what does this imply?
