Looking around, Luo Chen remembered that the few mine exits he knew of all led to the center of Crescent Valley.

If something happened to the Pill Hall, the Crescent Valley definitely wouldn’t be a safe place either.

His gaze fell on the three mining roads that he had explored at the very beginning, those that were the furthest away.

“Perhaps it’s time to make a breakthrough in one or two mine roads to find a new exit.”

With this idea in mind, Luo Chen returned to his stone house.

Disassembling the array and replacing the worn-out Spirit Stones, Luo Chen leisurely made his way to the Crescent Valley.

Perhaps knowing that the Outer City would be chaotic for a while, many cultivators had chosen not to return home and stayed overnight in the stone houses they had built on the cliffside of the Crescent Valley.

Early in the morning, many people were already busy.

Rustle…

“This snow is really deep!”

Without using the Wind Riding Technique, Luo Chen walked on top of the thick layer of snow, taking a stroll in the Crescent Valley.

After hard cultivation, taking a break was necessary.

Breathing in fresh air could also brighten one’s mood.

As he walked, Luo Chen leaned on a railing, his gaze fixated on the scenery below as if pondering the secrets of The Great Dao Path.

“Xiao Luo, what are you thinking about?”

From behind came the tinkling sound of a clear spring, and Luo Chen responded without turning his head: “Nothing much, how come you’re here so early, sister-in-law?”

“I didn’t go home yesterday, the Medicine Hall needs someone keeping an eye on it.”

Murong Qinglian came up beside him and stretched lazily.

Her voluptuous figure caused Luo Chen to glance at her subconsciously.

“Well, well, so you were peeping at our female cultivators of the Medicine Hall!”

From this angle, Murong Qinglian noticed that Luo Chen hadn’t been pondering any problem at all; his sneaky gaze was clearly on the working female cultivators below.

Cough cough!

Luo Chen with a serious face, “Not at all, I’m just curious about the techniques of the Spirit Plant Cultivators recently.”

“Hehe, really?” Murong Qinglian, unable to stand his pretentiously serious look, was shaking with laughter, “Shall I collect several Spirit Planting Techniques for you?”

“Why not!” Luo Chen responded with a meaningful look.

The Proficiency of many techniques he had learned had reached Perfection Level and Grandmaster Level.

With a few more Spirit Planting Techniques, he could use them to earn more Achievement Points.

Furthermore, the task of cultivating spirit plants was a common part of a Pill Refiner’s career path.

Which Pill Refiner didn’t have their small medicine garden?

Murong Qinglian patted his head, laughing and scolding: “You’re really putting on a good act!”

After thinking for a while, Murong Qinglian grinned and said, “Xiao Luo, I know all the women in the Medicine Hall. They may not have a high cultivation base, but most of them have a clean family background and pure hearts. They’d rather earn hard money than earn Spirit Stones in dirty places like the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion and the Springtide Pavilion.”

“Sister-in-law, what are you trying to say?” Luo Chen seemed perplexed.

“You’re not young anymore and your Spirit Root talent isn’t great, you should settle down while you’re still strong and healthy!”

Once she had started speaking, Murong Qinglian appeared genuinely passionate.

She playfully counted on her fingers, “In the short term, you’re too busy to go home every day, so a Dao Companion would be able to help you with many things, if nothing else she could at least keep the bed warm for you on cold winter nights.”

“In the long term, there’s even more to consider!”

“Find a Dao Companion, have a child with Spirit Root, train him for a decade or so and then send him to the Sect. If you’re lucky, after twenty or thirty years when he establishes his Foundation, you would still have the lifespan for him to return and thank you.”

Luo Chen finally understood.

Murong Qinglian was here to push him towards marriage, perhaps she even wanted to play the matchmaker herself.

He laughed, “You know, the more you say it, the more sense it makes.”

“Right!” Beamed Murong Qinglian, “Tell me, what kind of girl do you like, I can give you some suggestions.”

“Well, I like girls who smile with their eyes, and they can’t be too slim, they need to be a bit plump.”

Murong Qinglian nodded slightly, he preferred the fuller type!

“They should be open-minded, not petty.”

This requirement was also normal. Xiao Luo was now the Hall Master of the Pill Hall, with many of his acquaintances being wealthy or noble. Being petty definitely wasn’t acceptable.

“She must treat me well, be able to cook, and offer me advice from time to time to prevent me from going off-track.”

Before Murong Qinglian could analyze if there were any female cultivators in the Medicine Hall that met these conditions, she heard the last sentence.

“Her cultivation base can’t be too low, at least the Ninth Level Qi Refinement, just like sister-in-law!”

Murong Qinglian was startled, she then covered her mouth and laughed: “You cheeky little thing, you’ve got some guts. Aren’t you afraid your Big Brother Qin will punch you?”

“Humph, punch me?” Luo Chen held his head high, “I’m still growing up, and who knows what changes that will bring?”

“Change my foot!”

A harsh rebuke echoed out, then a torrent of snow began to fall.

Luo Chen’s expression changed dramatically, and he ran away in a panic.

Behind him, there was the joyously laughing Murong Qinglian and the raging Qin Liangchen.

After a fierce snow fight, Luo Chen ended the drama by admitting defeat and apologizing.

Qin Liangchen didn’t take the incident to heart. He knew Luo Chen well and understood the man was just joking around.

However, after that encounter, Murong Qinglian indeed stopped suggesting finding a Dao Companion for Luo Chen.

Obviously, she understood that Luo Chen’s jests were his gentle but firm way of refusing to settle down.

“Xiao Luo is committed to The Great Dao Path in the end!”

That was what Murong Qinglian said privately to Qin Liangchen.

Indeed, that was it..
