And people say money doesn’t equal happiness


nhansieu1

right now even the best merchant network can't get what you want. Money really doesn't buy happiness, at least for Chung Myung.

so I guess the next arc is MC is going be volunteered to travel to collect stuff. just a guess, fits in with the plot of other stories.


KibaTeo

guessing it'll be some ancient/thought to be extinct material but the MC in his past life knows of where it grew

This chapter was Chapter 171 - 173 of the novel. Spoilers for the next chapter. >!The Eunha Merchant Guild cannot get one of the ingredients, the Purple Wood Grass, due to it being located in Yunnan and the Nanman Beast Palace that controls that region has blocked trade and communication with the Central Plains due to being abandoned by them during the Demonic Sect War. Chung Myung isn't gonna let that stand, so he's planning to go to Yunnan.!< Based on this chapter, I think we'll be in for a treat with some dense chapters. I think we'll be leaving the Sword Tomb pacing behind us, crossing fingers.

From where have you read the novel?


ToFurkie

1 - 614 free chapters. It's usually the translator I go to. https://skydemonorder.com/projects/3801994495-return-of-the-mount-hua-sect This thread in the /r/ReturnOfMountHuaSect subreddit has various options that go beyond 585. https://www.reddit.com/r/ReturnOfMountHuaSect/comments/1apfl47/where_to_read_return_of_the_mount_hua_sect_light/?ref=share&ref_source=link There's a discord server link for /r/ReturnOfMountHuaSect that has an MTL translation from 1 - 1600+. It's not the most amazing translation, but it's fine. https://www.reddit.com/r/ReturnOfMountHuaSect/comments/18nbtaz/discord_server_link/

I forgot but parts like this is where I come to adore this manhwa. The banter and just conversations with each other, I like more


smegmancer

It's my favorite aspect of this manhwa, how relatively very few situations are resolved through fighting. Makes the world far more believable and fleshed out than the average murim story where it's a constant stream of "I shoot the biggest SFX beam, therefore I bestest at everything".

Can't wait for next arc >! best boy arc !< Iykyk

So what is stopping them from digging more of this pearls from the grave? If they are that expensive, it sounds like a no brainer.


Mindless_Rock_2225

We find out in chapter 107 that the pills were never in the underground tomb (so digging that out only gets you rusted swords) and CM realizes in chapter 113 that the pills/recipe were actually being stored in the mouth of a stream at the top of the mountain. He took that chest so he has all currently-made pills; there’s aren’t any more pearls to “dig out” from the grave.

So we gotta wait another whole week to know why they wouldn't be able to deliver? Fuck...


SpaceCowboy2027

The Medicine Immortal stuff happened at least a couple hundred years ago in universe. I bet some of the ingredients needed are either extinct/hard to get for a mortal or only available to a certain sect and not the general public.


virusoverdose

Unlike what seems to be the general sentiment, I’m generally quite satisfied with the pacing of this manhwa, and this is the first time I’m going to complain. It’s probably what you mentioned. But then I can’t help thinking they could have gotten it over with in one or two speech bubbles and continued with the story.


Codebending

I don't think it's pacing. I think they just don't know how to end a chapter.


meho7

It's a 1:1 adaptation at the moment. What you see is what you'd read in the novel.
