"I'm leaving."
After sorting out Mrs. Spider's collection, Chen Luo flew out of the cave and said to the yawning flower-backed turtle outside. After three days of rest in Gumo Mountain, it's time to go to Qionghua Sect. Chen Luo didn't want to take Mu Xiaoyu and Ao Ye with him, so he left some things for them. How to go on the rest of the way depends on them.
The path to immortality is one that one has to make on their own. If they follow him, these two disciples will never become successful.
"If you don't leave now, Mr. Turtle will be bored to death."
The figure flashed, and the figure of the flower-backed turtle turned into a stream of light and followed Chen Luo's disappearing back.
The Mountain of Ten Thousand Monsters.
This area, which once required a cross-domain flying boat to cross, was now openly flown over by Chen Luo and the flower-backed turtle. The thing hidden in the mountain retreated into the mountain after sensing the two people's aura.
"This mountain is a little strange, it has the aura of a demon saint."
The flower-backed turtle came from the demon world and was a member of the life turtle clan, so he knew many secrets that others did not know. Observing the dark red mountain below, he instinctively wanted to make a calculation, but when the time came, he remembered the danger of this place and could only suppress the desire in his heart.
The breath of a demon saint?
Chen Luo glanced at the dark red mountain below, and he had a similar feeling. The Wan Yao Mountain covers a huge area, and the mountain is red. From above, it looks like a roaring giant bear standing upright. This mountain fell from the upper realm together with the Heart Demon Ancestor.
The spiritual energy between the Tiannan region and the evil cultivation land was separated by this huge mountain. The centipede monster and the earth dragon monster from the Earth Dragon Pond also came down at the same time, and the Inn of This Life also fell down at that time.
"This place is really weird, there are so many things that are hard to understand."
The flower-backed turtle felt itchy in his heart, but he didn't dare to predict the future. He could only suppress his curiosity and continue flying forward with Chen Luo.
Two figures cut through the sky and soon crossed the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain and arrived near Medicine King City. Unlike Gumo Mountain, Medicine King City, as a medium-sized force mainly engaged in alchemy, was not liquidated after the rise of the Spirit Pool, but instead obtained a large amount of resources.
The Lord of Yaowang City was the most shrewd. As soon as Fairy Lingchi rose to power, he sent people to join her.
The current Yaowang City is even more prosperous than during the Qionghua Sect era, and the city has expanded several times.
From time to time, high-level immortal cultivators passed by the city, and rainbows flew continuously, and immortal aura lingered.
"Are you two here to take the alchemist exam as well?"
As soon as Chen Luo and the Flower-backed Turtle landed, someone came to greet them. Those who came here on the rainbow were all immortal masters. Yaowang City specially arranged some disciples to receive these people, in order to build closer relationships and show the attitude of Yaowang City to avoid offending some old guys with strange tempers.
"Spirit Pool Vassal?"
Chen Luo looked at the mark of the spirit pool beside Yaowang City, and couldn't help but recall that when he first came to Yaowang City, the other party asked him to act as a relative of Gu Yue Zhenren.
It was precisely because of this stepping stone that he joined the Qionghua Sect and became a relative of Taixu Patriarch Gu He.
Nowadays, the upper echelons of the world of immortal cultivation have undergone tremendous changes, and many sects and forces have been "reshuffled". However, Yaowang City has not only not declined under such tremendous changes, but has risen against the trend. This also shows the means of the Lord of Yaowang City.
Chen Luo didn't feel anything about the "betrayal" of Yaowang City.
When he agreed to Yaowang City's surrender, it was originally a deal. Yaowang City used a large amount of supplies in exchange for the protection of Taixu Patriarch Gu He, which was considered a cooperation. Now that Qionghua Sect has declined, Yaowang City is unlikely to die with him just because of a cooperation.
As a force of alchemists, Yaowang City has the power of decision.
"Our Yaowang City is a vassal force of the Fairy Lingchi, and this mark was left by Elder Lingchi." When talking about this, a proud expression appeared on the face of the welcoming disciple.
"Is the city lord here?"
Chen Luo had already learned about it before coming here. The Lord of Medicine King City had not been replaced. A Jindan cultivator could live for thousands of years, and the City Lord Yan Qiuming was still an alchemist, so the possibility of him passing away in the middle of his life was very small.
"Yes, both of you."
The disciple who greeted him was stunned for a moment, and his expression became much more respectful.
The origins of this man and this turtle were mysterious, and the first thing they said was that they were the city lords. Regardless of whether what the other party said was true or false, they were not people that he, a welcoming disciple, could afford to offend.
"never mind."
After retracting his spiritual sense, in the short time just now, Chen Luo had already detected the aura of Medicine King City Lord.
Flying all the way from the evil cultivation area, it was a good opportunity to meet these old friends. Going north from Yaowang City is Qionghua Sect, and going west after Qionghua Sect is Lingchi. These areas used to be affiliated with Qionghua Sect, but now they are all under the tutelage of Lingchi.
Before the disciple could react, he felt the two figures in front of him blur, and when he looked again, they had disappeared.
'A powerful person has arrived!'
He suppressed his emotions, welcomed the disciples back into the gate quickly, and began to report the news upwards.
Yan Qiu Ming, the Lord of Yaowang City, sat beside the alchemy furnace, constantly turning the fire-controlling techniques in his hands, and the medicinal fragrance in the alchemy furnace began to dissipate.
This batch of pills was made to help Fairy Lingchi.
There was a request from above, and he needed to take action personally. As a force surviving in the cracks, Yan Qiuming was very clear about his position, and he started refining pills on the day he received the order.
Click
The door of the alchemy room was opened from the outside, and a stream of air rolled in from outside. The alchemy furnace on the ground fire shook, and the airflow from outside merged into the alchemy furnace, causing the originally stable spiritual fire to fluctuate and the medicinal power composition to change.
For alchemists, the most taboo thing in alchemy is to add materials in the middle of the process. The same is true for airflow. In order to ensure the quality of the finished pill, professional alchemists will make pills in a closed space to prevent the influence of external factors. These alchemy techniques were sorted out by alchemists of all generations in Yaowang City. It is unknown how much energy and failures wild alchemists have to spend to figure this out.
Many alchemists who have their furnaces blown up fail because they fail to control the proportions of the pills and do not calculate the effects of airflow and spiritual energy. As a top-level third-level alchemist, Yan Qiuming will naturally not make such a low-level mistake.
The moment the stone door was opened, he had already adjusted his technique.
The fluctuating spiritual fire and twisted medicinal liquid slowly calmed down and regained stability under his control.
"The city lord's fire control technique is still so proficient."
The voice came from the door. The Medicine King City Lord, who had just calmed down, started shaking his hands after hearing the voice. The fire in the furnace, which he had finally stabilized, instantly went out of control. With a "hiss" sound, the spiritual fire went out of control, and the liquid medicine inside quickly charred and turned black. A burst of black smoke came out of the furnace.
This batch of pills was wasted.
But Medicine King City Lord no longer had the mind to pay attention to all this. He stood up with shock on his face and saw the two visitors at the door.
One of them was Chen Luo, the true disciple of Taixu Peak and the acting leader of the Qionghua Sect, whom he had once relied on.
"Master Chen?"
Yan Qiu Ming swallowed his saliva. He felt more guilty than ever before.
When Qionghua Sect was at its peak, he brought Yaowang City to the other side and contributed most of the city's resources to the other side. Now that Qionghua Sect has declined, he has changed his name and joined Lingchi. The resources that were once dedicated to Chen Luo have now been transferred to the hands of the elders of Lingchi.
This kind of behavior, in the mortal world, is called changing the partner. In the world of immortal cultivation, it is not so easy to say. Chen Luo is not an ordinary person, but a genuine Yuanying Zhenjun! The upper realm cultivator who was killed by him more than 50 years ago is still hanging at the gate of Qionghua Sect.
"I didn't know the master was coming, and I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person." Yan Qiu Ming's forehead broke out in sweat, he knew that Yaowang City was facing a life-and-death crisis again.
As long as the person in front of him takes action, Yaowang City will immediately disappear from the world of immortal cultivation.
Having experienced the era of the Qionghua Sect, he knew better than anyone how terrifying Yuanying Zhenjun was.
"I have something I want to ask the city lord."
Chen Luo walked into the alchemy room, took out the elixir made by Medicine King City Lord from the cabinet next to him, and put it into his sleeve. Most of these elixirs were second- and third-level, which were useless to Chen Luo, but this did not prevent him from collecting the reward. When protecting Medicine King City in the past, City Lord Yan Qiuming promised to provide supplies to Taixu Peak every ten years, so he was taking away something that belonged to him.
Since it is a cooperation, the 'balance' must be settled.
"Master Chen, please tell me."
Yan Qiu Ming took a look at the pill that Chen Luo had put into his sleeve, and his heart was bleeding.
These things were reserved by Ling Chi. After Chen Luo took them away, he didn't know how to explain to the people from Ling Chi.
"I am just the acting head, the city lord does not have to be so polite."
After collecting the pills, Chen Luo smiled and said something. Medicine King City Lord was sweating profusely after hearing this, and could only nod and say "yes", not daring to refute. Chen Luo felt bored by this cowardly look, so he asked directly.
"Do you know where the Fairy Lingchi is?"
Chen Luo wanted to see this "legend" who followed the path of Yin Yang Demon Lord and achieved the transformation of God. In the demon world, he used the blood essence stone given by Mrs. Spider to raise a fifth-level corpse demon. Judging from the number of blood essence stones it devoured at that time, it should be more than the initial fifth level.
I wonder if Fairy Lingchi can stop a corpse demon of this level.
"I really don't know."
Hearing Chen Luo's question, Medicine King City Lord broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.
Based on his understanding of Chen Luo, asking about the whereabouts of Fairy Lingchi is definitely not as simple as reminiscing and chatting. He dared to go there even though he knew that Fairy Lingchi had broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm. He must have some hidden trick up his sleeve.
The thought of this made him even more nervous.
This time, Yaowang City stands between the two and will be destroyed if it is not careful.
"I'm just an alchemist. As an outsider, I have no way of knowing where the ancestor of Lingchi is." In order to gain Chen Luo's trust, the Lord of Yaowang City told him all the news he knew.
In the eyes of outsiders, Yaowang City is extremely prosperous. No matter in the era of Qionghua Sect or the current Lingchi era, they can always thrive.
But only the city lord Yan Qiuming knows the hardships involved. (End of this chapter)
