Chapter 2129: Chapter 782: Message from the Holy Land, Baili Qingchuan
"During his century-long journey across the North Sea, he leapt from the early Golden Core stage to become a Nascent Soul True Master! Such progress might involve serendipitous encounters, but it definitely cannot be separated from the aid of the Dao of Alchemy."
Indeed!
When Ye Lingtian opened the last bamboo slip, it confirmed his thoughts.
"Luo Chen, the Guest Elder of the Star Gate, can easily produce medium-grade Fourth Order cultivation pills, and it’s suspected that he can refine Fourth-Order Superior Grade pills."
"Suspected to be a Grandmaster of Alchemy Dao!"
No time to rejoice over his conjecture, Ye Lingtian took out a jade slip from his storage bag.
"Pay attention to Luo Chen, this person is related to the old matters of Cangwu Mountain. However, do not use force, treat him with courtesy!"
These simple words carried an immense divine perception, making one subconsciously want to submit.
Clearly, the author of this jade slip is a Divine Transformation Great Power above the Nascent Soul level!
It was due to this jade slip that the Lingtian City Lord was so enthusiastic about Luo Chen.
Moreover, this jade slip reached the Lingtian City Lord’s hands even before Luo Chen’s return.
Feeling the smooth jade slip, the Lingtian City Lord’s brows knitted involuntarily.
"Since the ancestor pays such attention to Luo Chen, why not directly capture and question him in the Dark Abyss Sect?"
"Cherish talent, enamored by his alchemical attainment, wanting to cultivate the next Alchemy Saint for the Dark Abyss Sect?"
"Shouldn’t there be swift action then?"
"Is it because the ancestor is preoccupied, or because of that Guest Elder status of Luo Chen?"
After deep contemplation, the Lingtian City Lord was utterly confused.
After organizing all the bamboo slips, he suddenly laughed aloud.
"Why worry about such things, interacting with such an interesting person is far better than dealing with the lifeless peers in the Eastern Wasteland!"
...
Unlike the many homeless small forces within Lingtian Pass, the Luo Tian Sect, though not a Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect, had its own separate abode.
That was Fenghua Palace, a specially designated area for the Luo Tian Sect.
Not large, but not small either.
A hundred miles of territory with mountains and rivers, along with exotic flowers and herbs.
Of course, this arrangement was not free, the spirit land named "Baili Qingchuan" was mostly planted with spirit medicines. The task of the Luo Tian Sect residing there was to help manage these spirit medicines and submit them regularly.
The Luo Tian Sect had the ability, having relied on pill refinement and herb cultivation in earlier years.
Aboard the Cloud Chariot, Qu Lingjun knelt before Luo Chen, head touching the ground, silent for a long time.
After hearing him recount the general situation, Luo Chen also fell into silence.
After a while, he finally spoke softly, "So, after I left, you abandoned your wife and children, betrayed the sect, and turned to others’ doors?"
Each word seemed like a heart-piercing accusation, going straight to the man’s heart and lungs.
Qu Lingjun trembled all over, bowing heavily to the ground.
"All is true, Lingjun is unfilial, disgracing Luo Tian, please master, grant me death!"
Standing by, Gu Caiyi hurriedly spoke, "Husband, no!"
Luo Chen glanced over.
Gu Caiyi sighed, "This matter cannot be blamed on Lingjun. In those years, during the Luo Tian Sect’s escape, the people’s hearts were scattered. It happened to be that Fengyue Fairy from Fenghua Palace passed by with her people and proposed to take Lingjun. Although at that time he acted on his own by following Fengyue Fairy away, later we realized, he was merely trying to secure a path for us."
"Over these years, Lingjun secretly provided the Luo Tian Sect with a large amount of cultivation resources, especially in terms of elixirs. The reason our Luo Tian Sect has been prolific in talents despite a century of hardship is largely due to Lingjun’s contributions."
"Particularly, he even secured this piece of spirit land, Baili Qingchuan, for us, so we are not completely at the mercy of others."
Though under the control of a Nascent Soul sect, it was different from when they were in the Five Elements Realm. At least here in Fenghua District, the Luo Tian Sect was self-reliant, with a degree of independence.
Even if they need to escape again in the future, they wouldn’t fall into the passive situation of being forced to repay kindness like under the Five Elements Divine Sect.
Faced with Gu Caiyi’s plea, Luo Chen looked back at Qu Lingjun.
"Your master’s wife’s words, are they true?"
Qu Lingjun choked for a moment, "True. But Lingjun disturbed the sect’s unity, causing discontent among many, even leading to some fleeing the Luo Tian Sect. Master..."
"We’ll discuss your matter later!"
Luo Chen waved his hand, lifting Qu Lingjun to stand with a burst of qi power.
Then, Luo Chen stood and headed out.
"Baili Qingchuan, we’ve arrived."
...
The Luo Tian Sect did not possess the long-distance communication abilities like the Dark Abyss Sect, thus Luo Chen’s return remained unknown to those guarding the mountain gate.
That day.
Above Baili Qingchuan, a lavish Cloud Chariot came speeding from afar.
Upon reaching the sect’s territory, its speed immediately slowed.
One by one, the lower order cultivators busy in the medicine fields couldn’t help but lift their heads, curiously watching the slowly flying Cloud Chariot.
Three elements and three essences, cloud patterns everywhere.
Dark, white, and black long sails on one side, and purple, gold, and red long sails on the other, contrasting each other.
Above the carriage, auspicious pearl droplets spread everywhere, billowing sleeves dangling down, a noble five-color canopy towering high.
The spacious carriage was also paved with white jade, golden light dazzling.
Even the six wheels below were extraordinary, with eighteen intersecting spokes, all coated with gold powder.
Moreover, as it flew, three flood dragon phantoms soared through the clouds, exuding majestic power.
"Whose magnificent travel carriage is this, so luxurious?"
"Fenghua Palace cultivators love luxury, could it be someone from the Ascendant Sect?"
"Or perhaps from the Five Elements Divine Sect!"
"The duel of the Ten Decisive is in its fourth day, nearing its end, could they be here to announce the result!"
With the last speculation, everyone’s hearts were on edge.
Some, with fiery tempers, even took out their Magic Tools, ready for battle.
