Chapter 2152: Chapter 790: Mingyuan’s Recruitment, Returning to the Fold, Pill Formula Revisited, and the Green Elixir King
In the end.
Lingtian City Lord appeared somewhat reluctant, yet he brought up the matters discussed earlier.
"Do not overestimate the Tianyuan Daoist Sect. Even if you truly bring these hundreds of people from Luo Tian Sect there, they will eventually be dispersed, divided, and integrated into various noble families. By then, you will be powerless, and their fate may not be better than it is now."
Having said this, Lingtian City Lord didn’t linger any longer and left directly.
Luo Chen was left standing alone in the corridor, pursing his lips, with a slight frown on his face.
After being reminded by the other, he realized that his previous thoughts did have some discrepancies.
He only saw the advantages of Zhongzhou and ignored the fact how stringent the conditions Tianyuan Daoist Sect imposes on vassals brought over by the Guest Elders.
If they are clan children, it would take five hundred years to join the Daoist Sect.
If they are sect apprentices, they’ll have to separate, either establishing their own clans or integrating into various noble families.
Especially with the great war starting now, if he truly brings these people there, their fate will surely be worse than it is now.
At least, the group from Luo Tian Sect can still stay united for warmth now.
Actually, it can’t be said that Luo Chen hadn’t thought thoroughly.
After all, he didn’t expect Sima Huiniang and others to insist so much, preserving the force that was initially just at the Golden Core level for him.
Otherwise, if only a few or a dozen people were left, Luo Chen would just take them away.
Now there are too many people, which instead becomes a burden.
Suddenly, Luo Chen’s expression cleared, and he slightly raised the corner of his lips.
"How can it be called a burden? These are people who love me, respect me, and are loyal to me!"
Under the moonlight, Luo Chen walked towards the next guest awaiting him.
...
Calling them guests isn’t quite accurate.
The opposite party is actually the host!
Under the moonlight, in the cool pavilion halfway up the mountain, a beautiful woman stood against the wind and gazed down at the vast land under the moon.
"Great Palace Master, sorry to keep you waiting."
Fenghua Fairy didn’t turn around but instead pointed at the scenery below the mountain, which was faintly visible under the silver moonlight, and sighed softly:
"Fenghua Palace has managed this piece of land for two thousand years, True Master Luo, if it were you, would you be willing to hand it over?"
"I would certainly not hand it over."
Luo Chen walked beside her, with the ripe fragrance of the woman lingering around his nostrils.
"Similarly, I will not covet this land."
Fenghua Fairy was stunned; she didn’t expect Luo Chen to be so direct.
So much so that certain words in her heart couldn’t continue.
She had to awkwardly say, "Although this magnificent land shouldn’t be handed over, lending Baili Qingchuan to the True Master as a temporary residence is not a problem."
Luo Chen nodded, "Thank you, Great Palace Master, for your kindness. I indeed need such a resting place now. However, the products of Baili should still be the wealth of Fenghua Palace, as a gentleman does not covet what others cherish."
Fenghua Fairy was surprised; though Baili Qingchuan is not large, the produce of this place is among the best in the whole Fenghua Palace.
Does Luo Chen not even want this?
Luo Chen suddenly asked, "I heard that your sect obtained the Pill Formula of Tongyou Pill and the stable refining method of Ascendant Grade Jade Dew Pill?"
Fenghua Fairy didn’t deny but generously admitted it.
"It originated from Qu Lingjun. Although it might have been opportunistic, Fenghua Palace has paid a lot for it. If my friend wants to take them back..."
"No need."
Luo Chen shook his head, directly interrupting her words.
Fenghua Fairy furrowed her brows, full of incomprehension.
The man before her had no interest in Fenghua District, nor the output of Baili Qingchuan, not even the Pill Formula he had previously researched; what does he want?
Suddenly.
"Ling Jun has served Fenghua Palace for a hundred years, that’s enough. It’s time for him to come back."
Fenghua Fairy’s red lips parted slightly in surprise, "Just for this?"
"Hmm." Luo Chen said calmly, "He is my disciple, even if his talent is mediocre and the Great Dao Path hopeless, he shouldn’t be left wandering outside."
Fenghua Fairy fell silent.
After a while, she gently nodded, giving Luo Chen this due respect.
Luo Chen smiled serenely, "Great Palace Master, if in the future, Mount Sky Cliff dares to reach out, just beat them back with a stick. If the Five Elements Divine Sect helps, you are welcome to call upon me."
Is this returning a favor?
Fenghua Fairy smiled brightly, "Aren’t you afraid of Shenyuan Old Monster?"
Divine Sect Supreme—True Master Shenyuan!
Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator!
Luo Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, he did want to meet that old monster.
Ever since returning to Eastern Wasteland, he has been aggressively pressuring the Five Elements Divine Sect, with the intent to learn about True Master Shenyuan’s current condition.
It’s rumored that in that battle at Cangwu Mountain, Mingyuan Great Power was blocked outside the mountains, and of the three Post-Nascent beings, two died, and one was injured.
Shenyuan Old Monster was the only survivor, heavily injured.
Even when the Five Elements Divine Sect was attacked by the Demon Clan, he didn’t personally intervene.
This person has been eyeing him maliciously, hosting Luo Tian Sect with ill intentions, and Luo Chen will eventually confront him.
If he could force him out and learn about the old monster’s state beforehand, many things would become more convenient.
...
The last person Luo Chen met, as expected, was the Shen Fu Sect’s elder who had been waiting for a long time.
Years ago, this person also had such a resonant Daoist name.
But as the years passed, people gradually stopped using that name and began respectfully calling him "Elder Fu."
He waited until late at night to see Luo Chen, indicating his urgent mood.
His purpose was self-evident.
The Nascent Soul Formation Pill!
Facing the elder’s eager gaze, Luo Chen slowly nodded.
"If you trust me, you can first let me take a look at the Pill Formula."
"Can my friend truly refine a Breakthrough Elixir?"
Just as Breakthrough Elixirs are far more precious than ordinary cultivation pills, their refining difficulty is greater than ordinary elixirs.
