Half a month has passed since the opening ceremony of the Dao Debate Platform.
During this time, Luo Chen markedly deviated from his norm and did not continue with pill refinement.
There were many reasons for this, not least because he needed to familiarize himself with the people and affairs of the Broken Mountain Gang.
There was no real lack of Spirit Stones in his possession. He originally had one hundred and fifty Lower Grade Spirit Stones. After reselling the entrance tickets, he had an additional two hundred.
He had also previously purchased five bottles of Qi Nurturing Pills, enough for a month's worth of cultivation.
However, these were not the most crucial factors.
The most critical reason came from his observation of battle after battle, particularly the fierce battles between eighteen Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators, which led to his substantial gains.
