Chapter 347: Luotian Joins the War, Annihilating Yuding!

This was Luo Chen's first time stepping into a third-grade cave dwelling on Tianlan Peak.

Just the moment he stepped in, he felt a concentration of spiritual energy that was 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 the other party was talking about the fact that after he returned to Tianlan, he delayed visiting, and even had to be invited.

Such neglect of a Jin Dan superior 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 attempt. After returning, I have been doing my best to heal her."

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

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

In a place he couldn't see, the Absolute Heart Fairy'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, perhaps this wouldn't have happened. Because of me, she suffered such serious injuries; I naturally should 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 ended up in the nearly paralyzed state she was in now.

After hearing his explanation, the Absolute Heart Fairy's expression cleared up slightly, easing a lot.

Luo Chen had been paying attention to the other party's emotional changes, and looking at it now, the other party didn't seem to have an "absolute heart" nature either!

Quite reasonable.

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

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

Luo Chen immediately said, "Superior, 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."

That was what he said, but his eager look clearly showed he was waiting for the follow-up.

The Absolute Heart Fairy twitched her lips and waved her hand to reveal two objects.

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

One was exquisite, a string of crystal-clear bracelets.

Luo Chen took the two in surprise.

"This is?"

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

Speaking of this, the Absolute Heart Fairy paused, a flash of desolation and nostalgia passing through her eyes.

But in an instant, she restrained that inappropriate emotion and continued:

"Although this treasure is damaged, it only lost its combat ability. Its inherent alchemy ability is still completely preserved. You can use it as a low-grade alchemy magic treasure without any problems."

Luo Chen looked in surprise at the tattered bronze cauldron in his hand, with one foot even broken, completely unable to connect it with a high-end, atmospheric, and classy alchemy magic treasure.

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

Can this also refine elixirs?

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

"Thank you for the reward, Superior!"

The Absolute Heart Fairy looked away, unwilling to look at the tattered bronze cauldron, and just mentioned the use of the other magic treasure.

"Blue Flood Dragon Bracelet, a water-based low-grade magic treasure, with the essence soul of a third-grade water flood dragon sealed inside. Injecting spiritual power during battle can summon the water flood dragon; it counts as a pretty good magic treasure."

Speaking of this, she paused.

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

So generous!

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

"With your ability, could it be that you can't let her establish Foundation?" the Absolute Heart Fairy asked back.

Luo Chen was stunned, then laughed.

Indeed, at his realm, if he were willing to pour in huge resources, he indeed had 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 spend the price, Gu Caiyi could definitely establish Foundation!

This was Luo Chen's confidence!

This time, he bowed again sincerely.

"Thank you, Superior!"

The Absolute Heart Fairy nodded, then said, "Finally, the old man Red Tripod of Qingdan 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 stirred, looking at the Absolute Heart Fairy with anticipation.

Could it be!

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

At the first sentence, Luo Chen was excited.

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

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

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

This was only natural.

Even though Tianlan Immortal City was jointly built by the seven sects, the Yuding Sword Sect was at least the master of Yuding before, so having some privileges was normal.

"One is occupied year-round by a Jin Dan superior; he comes from the fallen Haoran Sect and is now listed under Tianlan Immortal City as a tribute."

Luo Chen hadn't expected this.

He had heard that Tianlan Immortal City had a long-term Jin Dan tribute stationed there.

When the Jin Dan cultivator of the rotating sect left, the other party would be responsible for protecting the Immortal City.

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

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

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

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

"Finally, it's this palace I'm living in now."

The Absolute Heart Fairy's indifferent tone pointed to the huge cave dwelling under their feet that was comparable to a palace.

"Yi-1 Cave Dwelling, it doesn't belong to one sect, but belongs to the rotating sect of Tianlan."

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

Luo Chen's brows couldn't help but furrow.

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

And when controlling it, the Absolute Heart Fairy herself would definitely need to use the cave dwelling.

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

No!

Since that was the case, why would the other party bring this up?

That is to say, the other party had an opportunity to vacate a cave dwelling for him?

Luo Chen looked at the Absolute Heart Fairy with suspicion.

The beautiful woman's lips curled slightly.

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

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

Luo Chen asked curiously, "What opportunity?"

"Very simple, let your Luotian Society join the war and annihilate the Yuding Sword Sect. At that time, the other vacant third-grade cave dwelling will be yours to use for a hundred years!"

"Absurd!"

Subconsciously, Luo Chen blurted it out.

But seeing the long, narrow eyes of the woman above, his heart trembled.

He hurriedly said, "What virtue or ability does my Luotian Society have to dare to annihilate the Yuding Sword Sect? Superior, don't tease me."

"Do you think I'm joking?"

The Absolute Heart Fairy said softly, her eyes narrowed slightly, her long eyelashes hanging outside her eyes like ice crystals.

Luo Chen felt a chill in his heart.

Yes!

What virtue or ability did he have to let a Jin Dan superior joke with him?

But, letting the Luotian 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 they joined the war?

And!

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

The Absolute Heart Fairy said indifferently, "You cultivated in the Daoist Palace of Qingyun Peak for a year, so your news is lagging. Since the end of the Qingdan Valley Dao Seed Struggle, 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 Jin Dan elders to join 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 Luoyun Sect!"

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

"And your Luotian Society is a subordinate of my Ice Fortress, so naturally, you are also an ally of the Luoyun Sect!"

"Joining 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, the Absolute Heart Fairy twitched her lips, revealing a smile that looked like it was squeezed out.

"Of course, you are the alchemist I value most, and also a genius alchemy master famous in the Yuding Domain, so I naturally cannot mistreat you."

"You don't need to participate in this war; just cultivate peacefully on Tianlan Peak."

Luo Chen raised his head, forcibly meeting the eyes that were still cold under the smile.

"Then what about my Luotian Society?"

"Everyone above the seventh level of Qi Refining joins the war; one Foundation Establishment cultivator can stay behind to manage Danxia Peak for you."

"Superior, is this too..."

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

A light sentence, carrying the powerful pressure of the Jin Dan stage, rushed towards 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 a white cloud, he fell from the sky in a daze.

I... this seat...

The change in address could indeed show how much she valued and even treated him with courtesy.

But, Luotian joining the war?

Luo Chen couldn't imagine that scene.

Even the true disciples of great sects often fell in war; how many of the Luotian Society's loose cultivators, who had only established Foundation for a few years, could survive?

He brought them out of Dahe Workshop, fighting together, struggling together, each establishing Foundation, and now he had to let them go to their deaths?

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

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

Absolute Heart wasn't discussing with him at all, but was nakedly informing him that the Luotian Society must join the war!

If he hadn't clung to the Ice Fortress back then and hadn't borrowed this power, would this kind of thing not have happened?

No!

Without getting on the Ice Fortress's boat, the Luotian Society would only be like small forces such as Tianying Peak and Shenggong Sect, stranded at the very bottom.

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

But he had racked his brains so much, only to face this kind of situation; what meaning did it have?

What meaning did it have for him to befriend forces all over Tianlan?

What meaning did it have for him to win three consecutive championships in Qingdan Valley?

Luo Chen, in a daze, landed at the height of the second-grade high-grade cave dwelling.

Suddenly heard a long whistle!

A figure rushed out from the Yi-13 cave dwelling, straight into the sky.

The powerful pressure of the ninth level of Foundation Establishment spread unscrupulously.

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

The joy in that whistle revealed the other party's high spirits.

Looking at that person's back, Luo Chen curled his lips.

Loose cultivators are really good!

A lone person, with no ties.

Cry if you want, laugh if you want.

Coming and going freely, roaming the world of immortal cultivation.

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

"Yo, isn't this the famous Dan Chenzi!"

Originally a teasing and praising remark, it sounded inexplicably ironic now.

Luo Chen revealed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Congratulations, Brother Chu, congratulations. Once you break through, Jin Dan is expected in the future."

Chu Kui laughed heartily!

On the trip to Qingdan Valley, although the He Yuanqing he helped didn't win the Dao Seed position, the many rewards promised were actually given to him after the first round ended.

After all, the second place true disciple in the first round was something Chu Kui had 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 to form a Core.

He waved his hand, pretending to be humble and said:

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

"Go!"

"I'm happy today, how about having a few drinks at my place?"

Luo Chen shook his head, politely declined the other party's invitation, and turned to leave with some loneliness.

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

Such a dejected Luo Chen didn't have the high spirits of winning three consecutive championships and suppressing the Seven Sons of Qingdan at all!

Just when he was puzzled, Luo Chen suddenly turned back.

"Brother Chu, that sentence you said back then was right!"

After saying this, he flew back to the Yi-17 cave dwelling not far away.

Leaving Chu Kui in a daze.

What sentence did I say back then?

That night.

On the long street of Qingdan Workshop, the bright moon was in the sky.

Chu Kui sneered.

"What's there to respect about the women of the Ice Fortress, fickle and temperamental."

Now, Luo Chen deeply agreed!

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

He had heard before that the Absolute Heart Fairy killed her Jin Dan Dao companion with her own hands, earning the Dao title of Absolute Heart.

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

But after a few contacts, 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 Jin Dan cultivators from other sects, she gave him a Profound Ice Talisman for protection.

Today, she also gave him a magic treasure, not stingy at all.

If you add the initial third-grade alchemist insights, Ice Emperor Tripod, Ice God Jade, and even under her instruction, Shi Lan specially adjusted the order and arranged the high-grade cave dwelling for him.

It could be said that Absolute Heart 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; she gave it naturally.

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

The gifts of those in power are just casual; the other party can also take life and death with a single word!

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

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

Inside the cave dwelling.

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

Self-pity and the like were of no help at all.

The urgent matter was to solve the problem at hand.

Luotian Society all joining the war?

He absolutely couldn't accept it!

This was his hard work!

There were many of his friends inside!

Everyone, whether because of interests, friendship, or gratitude, surrounded him, and over time, they all got used to looking at him with respect and admiration.

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

This was something Luo Chen couldn't accept.

"The set time for the expedition is in a month. All forces in Tianlan Immortal City related to the Ice Fortress, Qingdan Valley, Mount Ailao, and even the Luoyun Sect will be dispatched."

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

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

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