Chapter 26 The Tyranny of the Purple Mansion Old Ancestor
Being a loose cultivator is not easy; they often encounter life-threatening dangers while traveling, facing numerous challenges such as lack of resources, inadequate cultivation techniques, and insufficient spirit stones. Many loose cultivators perish outside.
Even the famed loose cultivator Han Paopao only went independent after establishing his foundation, having gained some ability to protect himself within the Cultivation Realm.
There are mainly two types of loose cultivators who live well in the Cultivation Realm: one type is like Han Paopao, who has a top-tier Immortal Artifact accompanying him and lacks no resources; the other type is a cultivator who starts with a top-tier Grotto Heaven, where one day outside equals a year inside, nurturing spirit medicine and lacking no resources.
Otherwise, other loose cultivators live quite miserably.
A few daring and fortuitous loose cultivators directly become foundation establishment cultivators.
After becoming a foundation establishment cultivator, this loose cultivator will find a way to shed the identity of a loose cultivator and establish a cultivation clan, relying on the power of the clan, the collective strength, to survive in the Cultivation Realm.
Being a loose cultivator has no future, just like being a bandit has no future; if you’re going to be a thief, be the leader of bandits.

Cultivators cultivate through wealth, companions, techniques, and place.
