Chapter 207

One night of research.

The result discussed by Sima Huiniang, Qin Liangchen and his wife, and others was to take the conventional route.

Transfer to Liuguang Market, pass through Gaoling Plain on the way, head all the way north, and enter the edge of the Yuding Region's hinterland.

According to the flight speed of the Heavenly Eagle Flying Ship, flying during the day and resting at night.

The whole journey would take about two months.

Provided that there are no mistakes in the middle.

This conventional route is also something that existences like the Lianyun Merchant Alliance have explored for many years.

Although it is a bit troublesome, it is definitely much safer than the other two routes.

The speed of the Heavenly Eagle Flying Ship is not fast, far from being comparable to the full-speed flight of a Foundation Establishment true cultivator.

Luo Chen stood on the deck of the flying ship, looking at the surging Lancang River below.

Only then did he truly have the sorrow of leaving his hometown.

"Actually, it's not leaving home, it should be considered returning home."

Luo Chen's mouth curled up slightly.

According to his memory, not far after passing Liuguang Market, it is where the Yuanzhao Kingdom is located.

The original owner back then traveled all the way from Baixiu Mountain in Yuanzhao Kingdom to Dahe Market.

The reason he didn't go to the closer Liuguang Market was also because he took the water route and didn't run into it.

Otherwise.

Luo Chen, who traveled here, might not be Luo Chen, the loose cultivator of Dahe Market.

It is very likely that he would have become Luo Chen, the robber of Liuguang Market.

Thinking of the huge gap between the two, Luo Chen couldn't help but laugh.

"President, the Li family and the Nangong family have followed."

Sima Huiniang walked up and reported the situation.

Luo Chen turned his head and looked into the distance; his excellent vision allowed him to see the huge crowd several miles away.

There were late-stage Qi Refining cultivators driving escape lights, and a large number of mortals sitting on flying ships.

On the ground, there were early and middle-stage Qi Refining cultivators, protecting mortal warriors with strong bodies, riding camels and dragon horses, rolling up billowing dust and shouting as they followed the main force.

Family migration is like this.

The gap in realm is too large, there are too many trivial resources, and there are a large number of mortals who cannot fly.

The migration speed simply cannot come up.

In short, it highlights two words: "troublesome"!

According to the current speed of both sides, the distance between them and the Luotian Society will only get wider and wider.

Luo Chen hesitated for a moment and just wanted to let Sima Huiniang slow down the flight speed and keep a certain distance from them, but not leave the large range.

But in an instant, his face changed drastically.

His gaze looked far away at the upper reaches of the surging Lancang River.

A faint and looming huge aura was like a wild beast spitting and swallowing the river.

"Lean towards the land, speed up!"

Sima Huiniang was a bit puzzled, but followed suit immediately.

Under Duan Feng's control, the Heavenly Eagle Flying Ship gradually deviated from its direction, completely leaving the sky above the Lancang River.

"The River-Swallowing Toad is full and still restless."

Luo Chen determined that he hadn't perceived it wrong.

The huge aura coming from the upper reaches was indeed the third-tier monster River-Swallowing Toad that had blocked them before.

"However, it doesn't seem to be foraging now."

"Could it be..."

Luo Chen faintly had a guess, and even began to get excited.

When he spent a large amount of Jade Marrow Pills to feed the River-Swallowing Toad back then, it was to make it completely full.

Even, in order to prevent the monster from killing for fun after being full, he added "ingredients" to it.

Top-grade Zhongmiao Pills!

Yes, he threw three top-grade Zhongmiao Pills into it.

As the saying goes—full and warm, think of lust!

Eating so full, while digesting, one has to find something to do to help digestion.

Luo Chen was just having a whim back then, but he didn't expect that after many days, it really had an effect.

A first-tier top-grade elixir actually had an effect on a thick-skinned third-tier monster?

This made Luo Chen extremely excited.

However, excitement is excitement.

He had no intention of running into this River-Swallowing Toad.

As the Heavenly Eagle Flying Ship deviated from the main direction, Li Yixian and Nangong Jin behind were stunned for a moment.

However, there was no doubt, but rather a sense of gratitude towards Luo Chen.

Before, the Heavenly Eagle Flying Ship had always been flying over the Lancang River, while they were walking on land, unable to look after each other.

Now that it had deviated to the sky above the land, it was more suitable for them to chase.

It's just that the speed was a bit fast.

Nangong Jin took a deep breath, "Qin'er, let the people below speed up."

"Yes!" Nangong Qin bowed immediately and passed the order down.

Soon, the speed of the Nangong family also picked up.

It's just that the Li family's side couldn't speed up.

There was no way; the Nangong family had experienced two migrations and multiple battles along the way, and the weak had long been eliminated.

Now the ones left, even if they were mortals, were those who had learned some secular martial arts and had strong bodies soaked in spiritual energy.

The Li family didn't have it that good.

After many years of peace in Dahe Market, there were many old, weak, sick, and disabled.

Seeing this, Li Yixian could only let the mortal warriors riding dragon horses catch up as soon as possible.

The Li family was famous for raising dragon horses; this kind of animal, which is between a wild beast and a first-tier monster, still had a decent speed.

Barely chasing, they could see the shadow of the main force in front.

Li Yixian looked at the family troops behind her and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Clearly already Foundation Establishment, yet there is no feeling of riding the wind and being free between heaven and earth."

"Family..."

"The Great River Gang's station is still at the pier; in the future, the business will mainly go to Liuguang Market and Yuelang Market, and we don't plan to go to Dahe Market anymore."

"The water route to Snow Lotus Market won't work, so we have to consider opening a land trade route."

"As for the spiritual land?"

On Red Toad Mountain.

Wang Haichao was talking to Huo Hu about the Great River Gang's plans for the future.

It seemed like an equal conversation, but it actually gave people a feeling of reporting.

The status of the two was very obvious.

Huo Hu smiled slightly, "Don't worry about the spiritual land; Taishan Market seems to have only one second-tier spiritual vein. In fact, 500 miles away, under a surging river of the Lancang River, there is another second-tier water vein. It is a very small second-tier spring eye, enough for you to use."

Once he said this, Wang Haichao really felt relieved.

Others just thought he was timid and didn't dare to go to the big immortal city to fight.

But who knew that Taishan Market also had a chance to achieve the Dao.

A second-tier spiritual land was undoubtedly a huge help to him.

And this was not the only reason he paid a great price to defect to the Huo family.

Flame Alliance!

Opportunity to form a Core!

This was his true purpose.

The Lianyun Merchant Alliance couldn't be relied upon; as early as the later stage of Dahe Market, he had already parted ways with the Lianyun Merchant Alliance.

Even, he had poached Min Longyu, the formation genius, from under Zhou Qing's hands.

Only a large Gold Core sect like the Flame Alliance had a mature method to form a Core.

The Huo family had a close relationship with the Flame Alliance; defecting to them was the only way to have a glimmer of opportunity to peek into the Gold Core stage.

"Work hard for my Huo family, and you won't be treated unfairly in the future, Fellow Daoist Wang!"

Huo Hu's arrogant voice came, and Wang Haichao nodded slightly.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something.

He said deliberately: "Those three families left early this morning!"

Huo Hu's eyes lit up instantly.

"Left?"

"What direction!"

"Direction of Liuguang Market, but according to my guess, their destination is very likely Tianlan Immortal City."

Huo Hu was puzzled, "What are they going to Tianlan Immortal City for? That place is troublesome; a group of country bumpkins, going there to dig mines?"

Country bumpkins!

These four words made Wang Haichao's face stiffen for a moment.

He also came out of Dahe Market.

Suppressing his displeasure, he said in a low voice: "It's hard to say about others, but I know Luo Chen very well; he is a bold and careful person who is unwilling to be ordinary."

"Back when he was in Qi Refining, he dared to pull the tiger skin of the Yuding Sword Sect to deceive me."

"Now that he has achieved Foundation Establishment, he definitely dares to go to an immortal city of loose cultivators."

Huo Hu sneered, "Just ignorant of the height of the sky and the depth of the earth!"

Tianlan Immortal City is not just an immortal city for loose cultivators.

The sect Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed inside are ten or a hundred times more than in Taishan Market and other places.

This group of country bumpkins doesn't know the gap between loose cultivators and sect cultivators at all.

If they go there, even he has to restrain his temper and cannot act as domineeringly as he does here in Taishan Market.

If this group of bumpkins goes there and offends someone, they can just wait for death!

"Young Master Huo is right; they are indeed a bit ignorant of the height of the sky and the depth of the earth."

Wang Haichao sneered, thinking of Nangong Jin making him bleed heavily and the words he said later.

Thinking of the looks Li Yixian and Luo Chen gave him.

These people already have a way to die!

"When shall we take action?" Huo Hu asked suddenly.

The implication was to target the three families of Dahe Market.

It should have been a shocking question, but Wang Haichao seemed to have known it long ago and was not surprised at all.

He said in a steady tone: "It's not suitable to be near Taishan Market; it's too easy to cause others to associate it with us. My opinion is the Gaoling Plain after passing Liuguang Market."

Gaoling Plain!

Huo Hu was stunned, so far away?

But immediately, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.

That's right; if they take action in that place, others will only think it was done by the robbers of Liuguang Market and won't suspect his Red Toad Mountain Huo family.

"Okay, I agree with your plan."

"I am determined to get that defensive magic treasure, the Marshland Kui Map!"

Huo Hu revealed a look of desire.

Now is the time of intense friction between the two major Nascent Soul sects, with changing winds and clouds and unpredictable world affairs.

The scope of the impact is no longer limited to the Yuding Sword Sect and the Luoyun Sect.

Even large Gold Core sects like the Flame Alliance and the Green Elixir Valley have been swept into it.

Even places like Taishan Market, although there is no fighting, can be seen from the Yuding Sword Sect handing over Taishan Market to the Flame Alliance Huo family, showing where the real center of the battle has reached.

Under this general trend.

Small Foundation Establishment cultivators like them, if they are not careful, will easily die and disappear.

Huo Hu has only just achieved Foundation Establishment and cannot improve his strength by breaking through the realm in a short time.

In this way, he can only rely on external objects!

Magic treasure!

Ordinary magic tools, or even top-grade magic tools, no longer satisfy him.

Only magic treasures can maximize his strength.

Now he already has an offensive magic treasure given by Huo Quan.

So what is missing is a defensive magic treasure.

But as everyone knows, defensive things, whether they are magic tools or magic treasures, are extremely precious.

Even the Flame Alliance is a sect famous for casting tools, and there aren't many defensive magic treasures inside.

Most are used by Gold Core true people.

There are some distributed to Foundation Establishment cultivators, but they don't reach him, Huo Hu, a mere inner disciple.

Only Dao-seed disciples are qualified to use them.

This return to Taishan Market was because he heard about the whereabouts of a defensive magic treasure from his grandfather, Huo Quan.

That's why he rushed back.

"Others just think I'm afraid of the sect war; who knows how deep I'm thinking!"

"Take the Marshland Kui Map and refine it to perfection."

"Not only can I show off in the future sect war, but I also have the opportunity to compete for the true inheritance of the Flame Alliance, and even the position of Dao-seed!"

Looking at Huo Hu's eager expression.

Wang Haichao sneered in his heart.

Nangong Jin, oh Nangong Jin!

An innocent man is innocent, but his treasure makes him guilty.

Back then, you betrayed your former ally Duan Qiankun for the Marshland Kui Map.

Then don't blame me for diverting the disaster to deal with you.

"But there is one point you must pay attention to, Young Master Huo."

"Hmm?" Huo Hu looked over in confusion.

Wang Haichao talked eloquently, "The three of them are traveling together, and in the early stage of the battle, they will definitely advance and retreat together. So..."

"Don't worry about this; we will only have more Foundation Establishment true cultivators than them." Huo Hu was full of confidence, a wise light in his eyes, "I am not that kind of stupid person; what I am doing is not an upright act, so I will definitely choose to have more people fight fewer people."

"In the Luotian Society, there is another person named Wang Yuan, who follows the path of body refining, and his combat power is quite extraordinary. He can confront Foundation Establishment cultivators without falling behind for a short time."

Wang Yuan?

Body refiner?

He asked curiously: "Second stage of body refining?"

"Yes!"

"Has he achieved Foundation Establishment?"

"No, he also participated in the auction; you should have seen him. Currently, it seems he only has the Great Perfection of Qi Refining realm."

"Pfft... Qi Refining stage."

Huo Quan sneered, then waved his hand.

"Don't worry, I'll deal with this person!"

Uh...

Wang Haichao was stunned for a moment.

You really are a wise and smart person!

Not dealing with Nangong Jin who has a defensive magic treasure, nor dealing with the Li family with a deep foundation, and not even wanting to touch Luo Chen who has just achieved Foundation Establishment.

Directly named Wang Yuan.

This is picking the soft persimmon.

And the tone was so grand, completely like a person shouldering a heavy responsibility.

He said helplessly: "But calculating this way, the other party has four Foundation Establishment combat powers; where do we have so many... Could it be that you want to move Senior Huo Quan?"

"What are you thinking?" Huo Quan glanced at him, "My grandfather is in seclusion to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and even handed over the auction to me to handle; how could I ask him to take action."

"Moreover, this matter is not very glorious, and even more so, he cannot know about it."

So, you also know it's not glorious!

Wang Haichao took a deep breath and asked: "Then which fellow daoists do we have on our side, so I can arrange the battle plan."

"You, me, and Fellow Daoist Tushan."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands.

A figure walked in from outside the hall.

Hunched figure, sallow complexion, looking like a sickly Foundation Establishment true cultivator.

Instead, he looked like a consumptive ghost.

"I want that 'Qingyuan Miaodan Method' on Danchenzi!"

As soon as he entered the hall, he set the spoils of war.

Wang Haichao raised his eyebrows, looked at Huo Hu, and Huo Hu nodded to him in approval.

Secret techniques of large sects like the Qingyuan Miaodan Method cannot be copied at will to prevent large-scale leakage.

Every jade slip must be carefully examined with spiritual sense.

Unless fully mastered, even if you try to transcribe it from memory, there will often be omissions.

Otherwise, high-level cultivation techniques would have flooded the world long ago.

The host of the auction can even sell one method to many people.

The cultivators who bid for it will also suffer a big loss.

Therefore, most secret techniques and cultivation techniques above the second tier are stored in jade slips.

Without spending a long time and great effort, it is very difficult to transcribe copies.

Tushan couldn't buy a copy from the Huo family, so he could only target the original "Qingyuan Miaodan Method" on Luo Chen.

Huo Hu relied on this point to win him over.

Since Huo Hu had already agreed, Wang Haichao naturally had no objection.

However, he still said bluntly: "That detoxification secret technique can be given to you, but everything else on Danchenzi must belong to me!"

Tushan frowned, somewhat unwilling.

Danchenzi is a second-tier elixir refiner, and his wealth must be abundant.

This can be seen from his frequent moves at the auction.

Although his goal was the detoxification secret technique, he hadn't ruled out the intention of coveting other things.

Wang Haichao's expression was solemn, "In order to stay in Taishan Market, I paid a great price and need those things to replenish."

Tushan was still not very satisfied and looked at Huo Hu.

Huo Hu smiled slightly, "Aren't there two pieces of fat meat, the Li family and the Nangong family? You guys, your vision is really too shallow."

Wang Haichao and Tushan were both stunned.

Then they reacted, Danchenzi is a second-tier elixir refiner, but he has only been cultivating for a short time.

In terms of wealth, how can he compare to an immortal cultivation family with a deep foundation.

"I have also arranged for the two Foundation Establishment true cultivators of those two families."

"When the time comes, we will definitely take them all!"

Tushan nodded heavily; in this way, there were five major Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Dealing with three Foundation Establishment cultivators, plus a mere body refiner, was absolutely foolproof.

Wang Haichao was also full of confidence.

He alone was higher in realm than Luo Chen and the three.

Huo Hu was also a sect Foundation Establishment cultivator, possessing an offensive magic treasure, and his means were extraordinary.

Just relying on the two of them, plus the power of the Great River Gang, the chance of winning was already quite large.

If you add the three Foundation Establishment true cultivators, he didn't know how they could lose.

The only thing that made him a little uncomfortable was Huo Hu's last sentence—definitely take them all.

He always felt that he seemed to have said this not long ago.
