After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 735 - 510, Lia founded the faction: White Dove United
Chapter 735: 510, Lia founded the faction: White Dove United
On a blizzard night, approached by strangers out of the blue.
The pair tensed up immediately, drawing their weapons in caution.
As they got closer and saw Lin Da’s chest devoid of any faction insignia, they relaxed just a little.
The round-faced man took stock of Lin Da from head to toe and asked suspiciously, “You don’t know how to enter a cultivation room? Are you new here?”
The question successfully caught Lin Da off guard.
In the game, the Ice Abyss was only the size of a palm, but after arriving in Another World, it had become an underground space comparable to a city, filled with infinite details.
Being seen as a newcomer wasn’t entirely incorrect.
“The cultivation room—do you mean these snow houses?” Lin Da found this curious and replied, “I was delayed by personal reasons and only recently made it to the Ice Abyss.”
“Oh, that explains why you’re so reckless, daring to casually talk to us in ‘blizzard’ weather. You’re such a newbie.
Mages fare the worst in this harsh environment; in our batch of freshmen alone, nearly a third were eliminated on the very first day.
Later, buy some [Warm Fruit Potion] for that little girl—it’ll effectively get rid of the cold.
The cost, however, is steep, about 30 points.”
The round-faced man glanced at Monica with a look of sympathy. Losing 30 points right away—her hardships had only just begun.
Lin Da wasn’t sure if 30 points were considered high or low. In the game, it equated to roughly 10 cents, but the value of Game Coin was clearly far inferior to real money. Seven-Star ranked adventurers seemingly earned only 30 points per month.
“Thank you for the guidance, senior,” Lin Da expressed his gratitude with a bow.
The round-faced man took the praise in stride, exhaling warm air, rubbing his frozen hands together, and chuckling, “Haha, who hasn’t been a rookie before? Work hard for a few months and you’ll be a Light Rank adventurer like me.”
As the snowstorm intensified, the suppression on perception also grew stronger—neither Lin Da nor the round-faced man could truly see through the other.
Lin Da hesitated briefly upon hearing this.
From what the round-faced man was suggesting, Light Rank adventurers weren’t considered weak in Ice Abyss.
He had thought Light Rank would roam freely, while Sacred Rank adventurers were everywhere.
Uncertain about the reality of Ice Abyss’s power hierarchy, Lin Da did not choose to expose the man but instead replied politely, “Senior, may I ask one more question? How do you enter these snow houses, and what’s the significance of what’s written on their placards?”
“Haha, you were surely rejected by the array, right? Back then, I was too—almost had my hand bounced off!
Getting inside is actually quite simple. First, you need points.
Second, your faction must match the faction listed on the snow house placard.
Take the one next to you, for instance, it belongs to the ‘Lion King Alliance.’
This is a medium faction with around a hundred members.
Their leader ranks 101 on the Light Ranking, boasting a staggering Level 55!
Only members of the Lion King Alliance are allowed entry into this D-grade snow house.
Though there are unclaimed snow houses in the cultivation zone, trust me, without Level 57 and mastery over at least seven Rule Fragments, would you dare venture inside?
Even that self-proclaimed future Frost Wolf King, Volgan, held out for only seven days before it was seized by others.
The majority still prefer joining factions, sticking together for warmth—it protects against robbery by senior students and grants access to faction snow houses for cultivation.

Of course, you’ll need to wait for your turn to enter. With so few cultivation rooms and so many members in factions, seniors like me only get a chance once a month.”
The round-faced man made a self-deprecating grimace.
This avalanche of information gave Lin Da much to ponder.
Cultivation rooms were controlled by major factions, and if he wanted entry, he needed to either aim for an unclaimed snow house or join a faction as one of their own.
“Level 57 and above just to claim an unclaimed snow house…”
Lin Da mused to himself.
Too much trouble—it’s better to join a faction.
Besides, Lia had mentioned in her letters that people from White Dove City had banded together to form their own faction.
When he arrived at Ice Abyss, it was imperative he join!
If not for Lia, he might have accepted the Scarred man’s invitation to join Dark Rose.
“Senior, I have one final question.”
Lin Da retrieved a small pouch and handed it to the round-faced man.
The latter opened it and visibly flinched, nearly blurting out an expletive.
Expecting Purple Gold Coins, he found instead a pouch filled with Demon Cores.
Even the least valuable ones were Level 30, and among them, an apple-sized rare Light Rank Demon Core stood out!
This rookie was loaded!
The round-faced man’s heart itched with greed, and his gaze toward Lin Da turned ambiguous.
Teaching newcomers to conceal their wealth was part of what seniors should do…
“Ruk, what are you staring at?”
The blonde woman sensed a twinge of unease and stomped on Ruk’s foot.
Though bewildered, Ruk trusted his girlfriend’s instincts, which had never failed him.
Pushing back his greed, he replied, “Ask away.”
Lin Da’s smile carried a mischievous edge, though Ruk failed to notice it.
“I’d like to know how to find the ‘White Dove United’ faction.”
“White Dove United?”
Ruk’s expression shifted. “I’d suggest you reconsider. Dark Rose is recruiting newcomers—how about I make an introduction?”
“No, White Dove United has my friends.”
“Is that so? What a pity.”
Ruk shook his head and pointed westward.
Taking out paper and pen, he sketched a simple map.
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you. If you regret it later, it’ll be too late.”
“Is there something wrong with White Dove United?”
“Wrong? Hahaha, there’s plenty wrong.”
Ruk replied mockingly, “They’ve offended Light Rank 27, [Scar] Oren, the strongest among the second-year students!
Last year’s Ten-Star freshmen—Volgan, Romanli—all defeated by Oren, who took their cultivation bracelets. Their backers and families had to make astronomical donations of Purple Gold Coins to Ice Abyss just to ensure they stayed.
