Chapter 347: Luo Tian Enters the War, Annihilating Jade Tripod!

This was the first time Luo Chen had stepped into a third-grade cave dwelling on Tianlan Peak.

Just the moment he stepped in, he felt a spiritual energy concentration that was completely not inferior to the weak third-grade spiritual land.

This was just the cave dwelling's living room.

If he were in the cultivation room with the highest concentration, what level would it reach?

If he were cultivating inside, how many times would his cultivation speed increase?

While shocked, a cold voice came to his ears.

"You are quite patient."

Luo Chen's heart tightened.

He knew that the other party was talking about the fact that after he returned to Tianlan, he had delayed visiting, and even had to be invited.

Treating a Golden Core Superior like this was unimaginable for a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He immediately cupped his hands and performed a Daoist salute.

"Please forgive me, Superior. A confidante of mine was seriously injured due to a failed Foundation Establishment. After returning, I have been wholeheartedly healing her injuries."

"Plus, hearing from Fellow Daoist Dantai that you were in seclusion, that is why I came to pay my respects a few days late."

After speaking, he lowered his head and said nothing, looking like he was pleading guilty.

In a place he couldn't see, Fairy Jueqing's expression changed.

Healing a confidante?

After a long while, the other party said coldly: "How is your confidante now?"

Luo Chen raised his head and explained the specific situation in detail.

At the end, he sighed: "If I had returned early with you, Superior, perhaps this wouldn't have happened. Because of me, she suffered such a heavy injury; I should naturally do my best to treat her injuries and help her step back onto the Dao path."

Calculating the time.

The period when Gu Caiyi attempted Foundation Establishment was the month after Luo Chen finished the Dao Seed Struggle.

If he had returned earlier, under his care.

Even if she failed, she wouldn't have fallen to the point of being nearly paralyzed.

After hearing his explanation, Fairy Jueqing's expression eased slightly, softening a lot.

Luo Chen had been paying attention to the other party's expression changes, and looking at it now, the other party didn't seem to have a "heartless" nature at all!

Quite reasonable.

With the matter explained, Fairy Jueqing didn't pursue Luo Chen's crime of neglect, but instead mentioned the incident where many sects in the Green Elixir Valley scrambled for him.

"The many benefits they gave you were given in the name of the sect. My Jueqing lineage is naturally not that wealthy."

Luo Chen immediately said: "Superior, there is no need to mind; being able to have your protection is already the greatest fortune of my life, I dare not ask for too much."

Although he said so, his eager look clearly showed he was waiting for the follow-up.

Fairy Jueqing twitched the corners of her mouth and waved her hand to reveal two objects.

One was tattered, looking like a pot or a cauldron.

The other was exquisite, a crystal-clear bracelet.

Luo Chen took the two in surprise.

"This is?"

"The cauldron is the Minister Cauldron, originally the natal magic treasure of a Golden Core cultivator..."

Speaking of this, Fairy Jueqing paused, and a flash of gloom and nostalgia flickered in her eyes.

But in an instant, she restrained that bit of emotion that shouldn't be there and continued:

"Although this treasure is damaged, it has only lost its ability to fight. Its own pill-refining ability is still completely preserved. You can use it as a low-grade pill-refining magic treasure without any problem."

Luo Chen looked in surprise at the tattered copper cauldron in his hand, with one leg broken, completely unable to connect it with high-end, atmospheric, and classy pill-refining magic treasures.

Shouldn't it be something like the Pill King Sect's Pot of Sun and Moon, or the Green Elixir Valley's Azure Sky Glazed Tripod?

Can this also refine pills?

But since the other party said so, she naturally wouldn't fool him.

"Thank you for the reward, Superior!"

Fairy Jueqing looked away, unwilling to look at the tattered copper cauldron, and just spoke about the use of the other magic treasure.

"Blue Dragon Bracelet, water-type low-grade magic treasure, sealed with the essence of a third-grade water dragon. Inject spiritual power during battle to summon the water dragon; it's considered a pretty good magic treasure."

Speaking of this, she paused.

"It's not for you, it's for your confidante."

To be so generous!

Facing this unexpected joy, Luo Chen couldn't help but say: "But she hasn't reached Foundation Establishment yet; I'm afraid she won't be able to use this treasure."

"With your ability, is it impossible to let her reach Foundation Establishment?" Fairy Jueqing asked back.

Luo Chen was stunned, then laughed.

Indeed, at his current realm, if he were willing to pour in huge resources, he would have a great chance of forcibly piling a Qi Refining cultivator to the Foundation Establishment stage.

He was not Duan Qiankun; the wealth and connections he currently mastered were not something Duan Qiankun could compare to.

As long as he was willing to pay the price, Gu Caiyi could definitely reach Foundation Establishment!

This was Luo Chen's confidence!

This time, he bowed again sincerely.

"Thank you, Superior!"

Fairy Jueqing nodded, then said: "Finally, the old man Red Tripod of the Green Elixir Valley said he could apply to the sect to let you use the third-grade spiritual land once every ten years, right?"

Luo Chen's heart moved, looking at Fairy Jueqing with anticipation.

Could it be!

"I can also grant you the same conditions here. However..."

At the first sentence, Luo Chen was excited in his heart.

But hearing the word "however," he knew it probably wasn't that simple.

"However, this third-grade spiritual vein on Tianlan Peak was only artificially elevated. There are only three third-grade cave dwellings that can be condensed for cultivators to practice."

"One is under the name of the Jade Tripod Sword Sect; even if it is vacant, they will never give it to others to use, and I don't have the corresponding formation key to open it."

This was reasonable.

Even though Tianlan Xiancheng was built by the seven sects, the Jade Tripod Sword Sect was at least the co-master of the Jade Tripod in the past, so it was normal to have some privileges.

"One is occupied year-round by a Golden Core Superior; he comes from the fallen Haoran Sect, and now hangs his name under Tianlan Xiancheng as a tribute."

Luo Chen hadn't expected this.

He had heard that Tianlan Xiancheng had a long-term Golden Core tribute stationed there.

When the Golden Core cultivators of the rotating sect left, the other party would be responsible for protecting the Xiancheng.

He didn't expect it to be a cultivator from the Haoran Sect.

According to records, the Haoran Sect was also one of the sixteen sects that jointly attacked Lianxia in the past.

It was just that, like the Ghost God Valley and the Minghuang Sword Sect being destroyed, the Haoran Sect also disappeared in the long river of history.

He didn't expect that there were still descendants alive in the world, and even cultivated to the Golden Core stage.

"Finally, it is this palace I currently reside in."

Fairy Jueqing's indifferent tone pointed to the huge cave dwelling under her feet that was comparable to a palace.

"Cave Dwelling Yi-1, not owned by one sect, but belongs to the rotating sect of Tianlan."

"In other words, I am using it now, but it might not be me using it in the future."

Luo Chen couldn't help but frown.

How long the Ice Fortress would control Tianlan was an unknown.

And during the time of control, Fairy Jueqing herself would definitely need to use the cave dwelling.

In this way, where would there be an opportunity for him to use it?

No!

Since that was the case, why would the other party mention this matter?

In other words, the other party had an opportunity to vacate a cave dwelling for him?

Luo Chen looked at Fairy Jueqing with half-belief.

The woman with beautiful features raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Now, there is an opportunity placed before us that can vacate a third-grade cave dwelling!"

"Luo Chen, it depends on whether you can grasp this opportunity!"

Luo Chen asked curiously: "What opportunity is it?"

"Very simple, let the Luo Tian Society under your command enter the war and annihilate the Jade Tripod Sword Sect. By then, the other vacant third-grade cave dwelling will be yours to use for a hundred years!"

"Absurd!"

Subconsciously, Luo Chen blurted out.

But when he saw the long, narrow eyes of the woman above, his heart trembled.

He hurriedly said: "What virtue or ability does my Luo Tian Society have to dare to annihilate the Jade Tripod Sword Sect? Superior, don't tease me."

"Do you think I'm joking?"

Fairy Jueqing said softly, her eyes narrowed slightly, her long eyelashes hanging outside her eyes like ice prisms.

Luo Chen felt cold in his heart.

Yes!

What virtue or ability did he have to let a Golden Core Superior joke with him?

However, letting the Luo Tian Society participate in that level of struggle was no different from throwing an egg against a rock.

How much of the family foundation he had painstakingly accumulated would be left once he entered the war?

And!

Luo Chen said slowly with a dry voice: "The war between the two great Nascent Soul sects, hasn't it already tended to be calm in the last ten years?"

Fairy Jueqing said indifferently: "You cultivated in the Daoist Palace of Green Cloud Peak for a year, and the news is lagging. Since the end of the Dao Seed Struggle in Green Elixir Valley, the two great sects have failed to negotiate and have completely torn their faces. Now, both sects have successively sent Foundation Establishment True Disciples and even Golden Core Elders to participate in the war. Not only that, the sect's allies and subordinates are also rushing to the main battlefield one after another."

"My Ice Fortress is precisely an ally of the Falling Cloud Sect!"

Speaking of this, she lowered her head and looked down at Luo Chen.

"And your Luo Tian Society is a subordinate of my Ice Fortress, so naturally, you are also an ally of the Falling Cloud Sect!"

"Participating in the war is reasonable and appropriate!"

Luo Chen's body trembled slightly.

How could it be like this!

How could it be like this!

While he was silent, Fairy Jueqing twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile that looked like it was squeezed out.

"Of course, you are the alchemist I value most, and also a genius pill-refining master famous in the Jade Tripod Domain, so I naturally cannot treat you harshly."

"You don't need to participate in this war; just cultivate on Tianlan Peak with peace of mind."

Luo Chen raised his head and forcibly looked at the eyes that were still cold under the smile.

"Then what about my Luo Tian Society?"

"Everyone at the seventh level of Qi Refining and above participates in the war; one Foundation Establishment cultivator can stay behind to manage Pill Glow Peak for you."

"Superior, is this too much..."

"This seat is notifying you, not discussing with you!"

A light sentence, carrying the powerful pressure of the Golden Core stage, rushed toward him.

At this moment, Luo Chen's hands and feet were cold.

Luo Chen walked out from the highest point of Tianlan Peak in a daze.

Driving the white clouds, he fell from the sky in a daze.

I... this seat...

The change in address could indeed show her value and even courtesy toward him.

However, Luo Tian participating in the war?

Luo Chen couldn't imagine that scene.

In a war where even great sect true disciples often fell, how many of the Luo Tian Society's loose cultivators who had only reached Foundation Establishment a few years ago could survive?

I brought them out from Great River Square, fighting together, struggling together, each reaching Foundation Establishment, but now I have to let them go to their deaths?

Even though Luo Chen prioritized interests in everything, at this juncture, he still couldn't make up his mind.

Or rather, he didn't need to make up his mind at all.

Jueqing wasn't discussing with him at all, but was nakedly notifying him that the Luo Tian Society must participate in the war!

If I hadn't clung to the Ice Fortress in the beginning and hadn't borrowed this power, would this kind of thing not have happened?

No!

Without getting on the Ice Fortress's ship, the Luo Tian Society would only be like small forces such as Sky Eagle Peak and Divine Art Gate, stranded at the very bottom.

Under the crushing of the general trend, it would only be more miserable.

But I racked my brains like that, only to face this kind of situation; what meaning does it have?

What meaning does it have for me to be on good terms with forces all over Tianlan?

What meaning does it have for me to win the championship three times in Green Elixir Valley?

Luo Chen descended to the height of the second-grade high-grade cave dwelling in a daze.

Suddenly heard a long whistle!

A figure darted out from Cave Dwelling Yi-13 and went straight into the clouds.

The powerful momentum of the ninth level of Foundation Establishment spread out unscrupulously.

The surging spiritual energy fluctuations showed the power of the owner of the whistle.

The joy in the long whistle revealed the other party's high spirits even more.

Looking at that person's back, Luo Chen twitched the corners of his mouth.

Loose cultivators are really good!

A lone person, with no entanglements.

Cry if you want to cry, laugh if you want to laugh.

Coming and going freely, traversing the immortal cultivation world.

While he was looking up, that figure turned around and fell in front of Luo Chen.

"Yo, isn't this the famous Pill Dust Child!"

It was originally a teasing and praising remark, but now it sounded inexplicably ironic.

Luo Chen revealed a smile that was even uglier than crying, "Congratulations, Brother Chu, congratulations, Brother Chu. Once you break through the realm, you can expect to reach Golden Core in the future."

Chu Kui laughed heartily!

During the trip to Green Elixir Valley, although He Yuanqing, whom he helped, did not win the Dao Seed position, the many promised rewards were indeed given to him after the end of the first round.

After all, the second place true disciple in the first round was something Chu Kui put a lot of effort into helping achieve.

It was precisely by relying on those resources that he was able to break through from the eighth level of Foundation Establishment to the ninth level after returning.

In this way, he only needed to cultivate this last small realm to perfection to attempt Golden Core.

He waved his hand and pretended to be humble:

"Hi, the road is long and far, Golden Core, it's still early."

"Let's go!"

"I'm happy today, want to go to my place for a few drinks?"

Luo Chen shook his head, politely declined the other party's invitation, and turned to leave somewhat dejectedly.

Chu Kui was confused, not knowing what had happened to Luo Chen.

This dejected Luo Chen didn't have the high spirits of winning the championship three times and suppressing the Seven Sons of Green Elixir at all!

Just when he was puzzled, Luo Chen suddenly turned his head.

"Brother Chu, that sentence you said before was right!"

After speaking, he flew back to Cave Dwelling Yi-17 not far away.

Leaving Chu Kui in a daze.

What sentence did I say before?

That night.

On the long street of Green Elixir Square, the bright moon was in the sky.

Chu Kui sneered.

"What's there to respect about the women of the Ice Fortress? Fickle and moody."

Now, Luo Chen deeply agreed!

The women of the Ice Fortress are indeed fickle and moody!

In the past, he heard that Fairy Jueqing personally beheaded her Golden Core Dao companion and got the title of Jueqing.

At that time, he thought the other party was heartless and didn't recognize her own kin.

But after a few contacts later, although the other party's attitude was cold, she was actually quite easy to contact.

And she really gave him a lot of benefits.

Even, not long ago, in front of a group of Golden Core cultivators from other sects, she gave him a Profound Ice Talisman for protection.

Today, magic treasures were also given away without stinginess.

If one added the initial third-grade alchemist insights, Ice Emperor Tripod, Ice God Jade, and even under the other party's instruction, Shi Lan specially adjusted the order to arrange the high-grade cave dwelling for him.

It could be said that Jueqing was the most generous high-level cultivator he had ever seen in his life!

She didn't even need him to take the initiative to fleece her; the other party gave it naturally.

But today, that sentence "This seat is notifying you, not discussing with you" made him thoroughly realize that all the gifts of fate had already been marked with a price in the dark.

The favor of those in power is just casual; the other party can also take life and death with one word!

"Sure enough, my realization a few days ago was right."

"A mere sixth level of Foundation Establishment is simply nothing in this immortal cultivation world."

Inside the cave dwelling.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, and his expression gradually recovered.

Self-pitying or something was of no help at all.

The urgent task was to solve the problem at hand.

The Luo Tian Society participates in the war entirely?

He absolutely cannot accept it!

This is his hard work!

There are many of his friends inside!

Everyone, whether because of interests, friendship, or kindness, surrounded him, and over time, they all got used to looking at him with respectful and admiring eyes.

Now, he has to push them into the fire pit with his own hands.

This is something Luo Chen cannot accept.

"The scheduled departure time is in a month. All forces in Tianlan Xiancheng related to the Ice Fortress, Green Elixir Valley, Ailao Mountain, and even the Falling Cloud Sect will be dispatched."

"This time is enough for me to do many things."

"Now, I must know what exactly happened in the past year!"

With a thought, he took out the sound transmission jade slip.
