The Loose Cultivators do not have the inheritance of sects, with the exception of a few who have followers or have become friends by chance.
Most of them roam alone, and even if they know some acquaintances, it's generally just to the extent of meeting for a drink.
But after the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion's Underground City was established, things changed somewhat, because the dungeons had an extremely high reservation queue, many Loose Cultivators formed temporary teams to not waste time and ventured together.
Some people were incompatible, and their teams disbanded after just one time.
However, some who got along well became acquaintances, then friends.
Due to their seamless cooperation within the Underground City, some even tried to take their relationship a step further.
For instance, going on actual adventures to Secret Realms to seek treasure.
Some, however, turned against each other over interests, splitting and parting ways, completely disbanding.
