Three Golden Core masters.

The leader is Fairy Jueqing, followed by Fei Ming of Mount Ailao, who once spoke for Luo Chen.

As for the last one, it is not Long Quan of Qingdan Valley, but a strange face.

Although strange, Luo Chen knows the origin of the other party.

A cultivator from the former Golden Core Great Sect, the Haoran Sect.

His name is unknown, only a Dao title, Haoranzi, circulates among the Golden Core masters of the Yuding Domain.

This Dao title was not given by others.

But after he advanced to Golden Core, in order to mourn the deceased sect, he took his own name as a memorial.

Over the years, he has been meditating on Tianlan Peak, while receiving the offerings of the Seven Sects and helping to suppress Tianlan Immortal City.

He looks like a middle-aged man, but his pair of vicissitudes eyes show that he is not young.

Especially that aura that is restrained to the extreme, even if he looks harmless to humans and animals, the pressure he gives Luo Chen is even above Fairy Jueqing and Elder Fei Ming.

At this moment, being watched by the three, Luo Chen held his head high and chest out, neither humble nor arrogant.

Even the spiritual pressure occasionally leaked by Fairy Jueqing because she had not broken through the realm for long could not move him.

The quiet atmosphere was broken by a sigh of praise from Haoranzi.

"Outstanding talent, clear and unique spirit."

"It's a good seedling."

"It's a pity, too much calculation, too much killing, not in line with the path of true cultivation of our generation."

Luo Chen's surprised eyes turned, and he bowed to him with a Dao salute.

"Junior Luo Chen, meets Senior Haoranzi."

Haoranzi smiled slightly, "No need for such courtesy, since you are a guest elder of the Ice Fortress, you have the same status as us, be more at ease."

When he said this, Fairy Jueqing at the head couldn't help but frown slightly.

It was Fei Ming who seemed to have realized something, patted his forehead.

"I forgot, little friend is also a Great Sect elder, how can we treat you slowly."

"Blame me, blame me!"

While speaking, he waved his hand, and a yellowish-brown stone chair condensed behind Luo Chen.

This earth-type spell was used at will, without a trace of fireworks, showing that Fei Ming's attainments in the Earth Dao have reached a perfect level.

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Fairy Jueqing.

The other party's face was as indifferent as ever.

At this time, she only spat out two words lightly.

"Sit!"

Luo Chen said thank you and sat on the stone chair peacefully.

After he sat down, Haoranzi couldn't wait to speak.

The matter asked did not exceed Luo Chen's expectations.

"In the White Night Cave Dwelling, you were the first to enter, did you find anything?"

"White Night Cave Dwelling?" Luo Chen frowned.

Haoranzi explained: "It is the Soul Transformation relic in Mount Jilei. Now the clues have been found, it is the palace of the great power White Night of the Mingyuan Sect a thousand years ago. This person is extremely good at thunder techniques, and even used this to advance to the Soul Transformation stage. However, he disappeared without a trace after a cloud tour a thousand years ago. No one expected that he actually sat down in the Lianxia Mountain Range."

The Lianxia Mountain Range in ancient times is the Yuding Domain today.

Luo Chen said in surprise: "Sat down? Could it be that you have already seen his corpse?"

Haoranzi shook his head, "That's not the case, but when a Soul Transformation great power falls, there is often a simple heaven and earth vision born. The Yuding Sword Sect has a shallow foundation and does not know the special environment of the Nine Mountains of Jilei. After the relic was opened, that special environment was stimulated to the extreme, which confirmed that the great power White Night fell into it."

The ancestors of the Haoran Sect also had Nascent Soul True Persons.

It's just that they later declined and couldn't stay in the original domain, so they joined the opening war of the Yuding Sword Sect at that time.

When it comes to the foundation of knowledge, the Yuding Sword Sect is really not as good as the already extinct Haoran Sect.

At this moment, hearing these words from Haoranzi, even Fairy Jueqing and Fei Ming, who already knew these secrets, were still thoughtful.

Luo Chen also learned for the first time that a heaven and earth vision would be born where a Soul Transformation great power falls.

No wonder the Nine Mountains of Jilei are surrounded by thick thunder clouds all year round, and thunder storms occur from time to time.

It turned out to be the place where a thunder-path great power sat down!

No one found it at first, but after the cave door was opened, that vision was converged into the cave, and instead deepened to the extreme.

In Haoranzi's words.

In such a place, ordinary Nascent Soul True Persons avoid it.

Only cultivators below Nascent Soul with lower realms can enter and exit freely.

As for why Nascent Soul True Persons dare not enter, Haoranzi didn't explain much.

At this moment, the other party asked Luo Chen about his findings after entering, because he had guarded Tianlan for the Seven Sects for many years and had made great contributions, so the two major Nascent Soul Upper Sects gave him a chance to enter and exit.

Therefore, before entering, he was collecting relevant information as much as possible.

Luo Chen thought for a while and told the truth.

"Junior was forced to enter at the beginning, and before entering, I fought with Di Wanyun of the Flame Alliance and was seriously injured."

"Therefore, as soon as I entered, I found a very remote corner to heal my wounds."

"After a year, my wounds were healed, and I left quietly, without participating in any relic exploration."

When he said this, Haoranzi couldn't help but show a look of regret.

"Is that so?"

Luo Chen thought for a while and said hesitantly: "I heard that several true artifacts came out of it, I don't know if this information is useful to Senior?"

For this news, Haoranzi could only shake his head.

"True artifacts are good, but I have no blessing to enjoy them, they are treasures that only Nascent Soul True Persons can activate."

"Do you really have no harvest at all? Even things related to the map!"

Luo Chen gave a wry smile, "This is indeed not there, the only thing I have might be a rough impression of the area I went to. If Senior needs it, I can record it for you."

Haoranzi thought for a while and nodded.

Although it was only a remote place, it was better than nothing.

After entering, if there is any trouble, at least there is one more retreat.

Immediately, Luo Chen took out a jade slip and carefully recorded a map for him.

The route in and the route out were the two paths he had walked.

He also relied on vague memories to fix some places he passed along the way.

During the recording process, he could clearly feel that the other two were also paying attention.

With a slight movement in his heart, Luo Chen took out three pale white flowers from a storage bag.

"Actually, it's not without harvest, I got a few mineral materials in that remote place, just happen to ask a few seniors to appreciate them."

As soon as the voice fell.

In the cave, there was an exclamation.

"Thunder Ying!"

"Hundred-year Thunder Ying!"

"Hiss, you kid has deep blessings, even such treasures can be encountered by you."

Luo Chen showed a look of realization, "So this is the famous Thunder Ying?"

Haoranzi reached out and beckoned, and the pale white thunder flower with sand and soil fell into his hand.

While looking at it, he kept nodding.

"It is indeed a hundred-year-level Thunder Ying, the effect is several times that of ordinary Thunder Ying that bears fruit every ten years. If it is added to our life-bound magic treasures, it can not only increase resistance to filthy means, but even when crossing that Nascent Soul thunder tribulation, it can also increase the possibility of successful tribulation crossing."

"Is it really that magical?" Luo Chen couldn't help but ask.

Haoranzi rubbed the flower in his hand and said as a matter of course: "That's natural! Your cultivation time is too short, and you don't understand the mysteries of high-realm changes. People often say that breaking the core to form a baby, in fact, there is a process of merging the soul in the middle. And the soul belongs to yin, most afraid of thunder and fire, especially afraid of the tribulation thunder of breaking the realm! If Thunder Ying is added to the life-bound magic treasure, after daily refinement, the cultivator's soul naturally has a certain resistance to thunder power. In this way, when bearing the baptism of tribulation thunder, the Nascent Soul will not be so fragile, and moreover..."

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped.

Looking up, Fairy Jueqing and Fei Ming were looking at him eagerly, looking like they were listening to the following.

That's right!

Whether it is the Ice Fortress behind Fairy Jueqing, or Fei Ming from Mount Ailao.

Neither of their sects has produced any Nascent Soul True Persons, and they don't know the secrets of tribulation crossing at all.

The few words he said simply seem to be common sense for Upper Sect cultivators.

But for them, it is no different from the light of the Great Dao.

Haoranzi smiled freely, pushed the Thunder Ying in his hand, and the pale white flower flew steadily towards Luo Chen.

However, halfway through, a slight resistance force was generated.

He was stunned and looked at Luo Chen in confusion.

"Senior's few words saved me many detours when crossing the tribulation in the future, this hundred-year Thunder Ying is a thank-you gift for the guidance of the Great Dao!"

Haoranzi had the heart to refuse.

But looking at the hundred-year-old Thunder Ying, he really couldn't bear it.

While he was hesitating, Luo Chen pushed his hand, and the other two Thunder Yings flew towards Fairy Jueqing and Fei Ming.

"The two masters have the grace of saving my life. The little one has nothing to repay, so I use this to express my heart."

Fei Ming's eyes lit up, and without even a moment's hesitation, he put it directly into his storage bag.

"You kid is not bad, no wonder the Ice Fortress and Qingdan Valley are fighting for you. Blame my junior brother, who didn't invite you back at the beginning, otherwise you and I would be fellow disciples now."

Fairy Jueqing held the Thunder Ying in her hand and pursed her lips.

She had heard that it is best to integrate Thunder Ying into the life-bound magic treasure.

But she didn't know why this kind of mineral material should be added.

The Yuding Sword Sect has occupied the Nine Mountains of Jilei for hundreds of years, and the Thunder Ying produced almost does not flow out of the inner domain, which also limits their understanding of this mineral material.

Now hearing Haoranzi's words, she finally knew the essence.

Magic power nourishes the life-bound magic treasure, the soul is affected by it, can adapt to the power of thunder, and it is easier to condense the Nascent Soul when crossing the tribulation.

It sounds simple, but the experience and lessons involved are how precious.

After all, who dares to use the soul to test the tribulation thunder?

At this moment, her gaze looking at Luo Chen couldn't help but soften a bit.

What the other party gave was not ordinary Thunder Ying.

But a hundred-year Thunder Ying with several times better effect!

If she integrates it into her life-bound magic treasure, with her lifespan, it is not impossible to survive to the stage of forming a baby.

With a turn of her wrist, the Thunder Ying in her hand with sand and soil entered her storage bag.

It was Haoranzi, who got it first, but hasn't put it in the bag yet.

He looked at Luo Chen hesitantly, "Since you have the great ambition of crossing the tribulation to form a baby, why not keep this thing for future use?"

Luo Chen smiled embarrassedly: "To tell you the truth, there are two more in my storage bag, I think it's enough for me to use."

"Two more!" Fei Ming's eyes lit up immediately.

"Cough cough!"

A light cough dispelled some of his thoughts.

Haoranzi glanced at him, then nodded, "Since that's the case, then I will accept this thing, after all, I really want it."

Luo Chen was a little surprised in his heart.

This Golden Core master's style of conduct is quite extraordinary.

Ask directly about what he wants.

Don't hide what he wants.

Act openly, quite like a gentleman.

Even helped him resolve the greed that Fei Ming suddenly produced for a moment.

In fact, Luo Chen was already prepared to give up two more hundred-year Thunder Yings.

This thing is useless to him!

Because in the storage ring he left in the cave, there are eighteen more Thunder Yings.

And, they are all thousand-year Thunder Yings!

If judged by the grade of mineral materials, I am afraid it has far exceeded the fourth grade that Thunder Ying belongs to and reached the fifth grade level!

These are completely enough for him to use after forming the core.

When mining in the White Night Cave Dwelling, in addition to eighteen thousand-year Thunder Yings, there were some scattered hundred-year Thunder Yings, which he just put in.

Now, it just happens to be used as a gift.

Three gifts were sent out.

Along with it, the attitude of the three Golden Core masters towards Luo Chen also changed.

Especially Fairy Jueqing.

She is not unaware of the situation of the Luo Tian Association.

But for one thing, she was close to a breakthrough opportunity at that time, and for another, her years of operation in Tianlan were missed by the Sect Master's lineage, and finally, Luo Chen's life and death were unknown, and his whereabouts were completely gone.

Under these circumstances, she naturally didn't want to spend more thought on a Luo Tian Association.

When Xu Xiaoliu brought Luo Chen's letter and begged her.

She knew that Luo Chen had not fallen, but had long since escaped from the Soul Transformation relic safely.

But he came out, but didn't come to see her!

So she had the heart to pinch Luo Chen a bit.

So she deliberately made a move at the right time, not only saving Luo Chen to make him grateful, but also beating him up by the way.

As for the slight losses of the Luo Tian Association, it was naturally not in her eyes.

But now Luo Chen sent a resource that was of great use to her, which made her embarrassed.

If it was one-for-one, then this hundred-year Thunder Ying could completely offset her life-saving grace.

She didn't know how to end the remaining beating means.

"No, why do I need to give him an account?"

With a sneer in her heart, Fairy Jueqing stated the purpose of calling Luo Chen here.

"In the next twenty years, the rotation right of Tianlan Immortal City will be transferred to Mount Ailao. Luo Chen, when the time comes, if you have anything, you can find Fellow Daoist Fei."

A simple sentence.

But it set off a huge wave in Luo Chen's heart.

Is it going to change people?

Then in this way, doesn't it mean that the reliance of the Luo Tian Association will be weakened by more than half.

His heart moved, and he realized why Fairy Jueqing deliberately appeared late.

She still looked down on the Luo Tian Association, this small force!

Even, after he became a guest elder of the Ice Fortress, the Ice Fortress side wanted to incorporate him into the sect completely, not letting him wander outside.

The Luo Tian Association, a small force that binds Luo Chen, is an obstacle.

Fairy Jueqing's late move might not have the meaning of the Ice Fortress's power figures.

He calmed down and looked at Fei Ming.

"Master, I will trouble you more in the future."

"Hey, there is indeed some trouble." Fei Ming stroked his beard and smiled.

Luo Chen was stunned.

Fairy Jueqing said on the side: "Your recent actions are a bit excessive. We don't care about killing and destroying families. But destroying mountains and blowing up veins has already affected the interests of the Immortal City itself."

The once famous Rolling Dragon Ridge, under Luo Chen's mountain collapse spell, the mountain collapsed and the earth fire erupted.

That large first-grade spiritual vein has already been unable to be used in a short time.

Not only Rolling Dragon Ridge, but also Changliu Gorge, the landscape has also been destroyed on a small scale.

The Golden Core Great Sect doesn't care about the lives of cultivators in small families and small sects.

Anyway, after one batch dies, another batch will always emerge.

There are plenty of rogue cultivators from other places gathering in Tianlan Immortal City to branch out and seek resources.

But if the spiritual vein is destroyed, it won't work.

The Min family of Danxia in those years excessively extracted the earth energy of Danxia Peak, which made the Golden Core Great Sect very unhappy.

It took a hundred years to recover as before.

Now what Luo Chen has done is even more excessive than the Min family of Danxia a hundred years ago.

When Luo Chen's heart sank.

Fei Ming waved his hand, "But for the sake of this hundred-year Thunder Ying, I won't care about these."

Luo Chen's eyes lit up and he thanked him immediately.

"I came here this time to represent the Ice Fortress to take over the Immortal City affairs with Fellow Daoist Fei. After a few days of processing, you will follow me back to the Ice Fortress!" Fairy Jueqing said.

"Back to the Ice Fortress?" Luo Chen frowned.

Fairy Jueqing nodded, "Yes, you are a guest elder of our sect anyway, whether it is the Supreme Elder or the Sect Master Senior Sister, they want to see you in person."

This scene, it finally came!

To be honest, Luo Chen didn't really want to go to the Ice Fortress.

In the one-third of an acre of Tianlan Immortal City, he could still have some autonomy.

But if he went inside the Great Sect, many things would not be so free.

And the only thing the Golden Core Great Sect can provide him at present is probably things related to forming the core.

But he also has four core-forming secret techniques on hand.

Moreover, his own realm is only at the 7th layer of Foundation Establishment, far from the time when he is close to the core-forming bottleneck.

So there is no need to be so anxious at all.

Fairy Jueqing saw his hesitation and said lightly: "Could it be that you don't want to take this trip?"

Luo Chen sighed.

"It's not that junior is unwilling."

"But now the Luo Tian Association is a mess, many people inside are dead or injured, and there are still small people peeking outside."

"Those people are all the ones who walked with me all the way. If I am asked to abandon them. I really can't do it."

Speaking of this, he stood up from the chair.

Hands clasped.

"Please Master, allow me a few years, wait until the Luo Tian Association is restored to the right track, I will definitely go to the Ice Fortress."

For this answer.

If it was before, Fairy Jueqing would definitely ignore it.

A group of ants, why worry?

But now, she took people's hands short, so it was not easy to demand strictly.

But the sect side...

"Little friend Luo Chen is indeed affectionate and righteous."

Fei Ming smiled slightly, "I was also there at the time, and I saw it very clearly. That formation master was only a mere mid-stage Foundation Establishment, but dared to draw his sword against that old fellow Qin Tairan for him. It can be seen that their group of people indeed has deep friendship."

"Fellow Daoist Jueqing, in my opinion, it's better to accommodate a little."

Haoranzi on the side also echoed: "Our generation of Golden Core cultivators has a lifespan of hundreds, just waiting for a few years of leisure. I think Fellow Daoist Canglong of your sect will also understand a little."

The words were all said by them.

What else does Fairy Jueqing have to say.

Although her Dao title is Jueqing, she is not a person who doesn't understand reason.

So she agreed to Luo Chen's request on the spot.

The conversation ended here, and it was almost over.

However!

Before leaving, Luo Chen abruptly made a request.

"Now that the two major Upper Sects have stopped fighting, can the vacant third-grade cave dwelling on Tianlan Peak be borrowed?"

For this extravagant hope, Fairy Jueqing was not surprised, but the other two were very surprised.

A Foundation Establishment, actually still thinking about the third-grade cave dwelling!

Fairy Jueqing shook her head, "The Sword Sect's remaining power is still there, their things, except for the Luoyun Sect, how dare we covet them. Moreover, without corresponding means, we can't open that third-grade cave dwelling."

Hearing this answer, Luo Chen couldn't help but show disappointment.

Since experiencing a weak third-grade spiritual land in Qingdan Valley once, he has been thinking about it.

Even if he can still adapt to the second-grade top-grade cave dwelling, but after experiencing better ones, who can be satisfied with the status quo?

Haoranzi wondered: "True Foundation Establishment cultivators should not be able to withstand the spiritual energy concentration of the third-grade spiritual land, what do you want it for?"

Before Luo Chen could answer.

Someone gave the answer for him.

"Not so, not so!"

"In my opinion, the foundation of little friend Luo Chen is unprecedentedly solid. With this strong physique he has tempered to the extreme, I don't know if he can withstand the third-grade cave dwelling, but there will be no problem with the weak third-grade spiritual land."

Fei Ming spoke eloquently, and his gaze looking at Luo Chen also carried a look of admiration.

"Is that so?" Haoranzi looked at Luo Chen from head to toe in surprise.

The figure is strong and straight, no longer the thin state before, but no strangeness can be seen.

Didn't expect to get such a high evaluation from Fei Ming.

Luo Chen didn't expect Fei Ming's vision to be so sharp, seeing through his reality at a glance.

However, he didn't plan to hide it.

Immediately said: "Junior once experienced a weak third-grade spiritual land in Qingdan Valley for a year, and the cultivation efficiency increased by seven or eight times. Therefore, even after a long time, I still think about it."

"Unfortunately, that third-grade cave dwelling on Tianlan Peak, I would rather leave it vacant and waste it, than let it be used by me."

In the words, there is no lack of regret.

But didn't expect, Haoranzi gave him a big surprise.

"After a while, I will go to explore the White Night Cave Dwelling. My cave dwelling is empty anyway, why don't you borrow it to practice for a few days!"

Luo Chen's eyes shone, and he swallowed his saliva.

"This, is it not very good?"

Haoranzi smiled freely, "What's not good, you give me the map, and give me Thunder Ying. I should repay it with Qiongju, don't refuse, otherwise I will feel guilty."

The words were said to this point.

Refusing again, it wouldn't be very beautiful.

Moreover, Luo Chen is not a big fool.

Immediately, he thanked the other party sincerely and agreed on the relevant days.

Then, he said goodbye to the three and left Tianlan Peak in a hurry.

After he left.

Haoranzi sighed, with a look of regret on his face.

Fairy Jueqing didn't understand, "Fellow Daoist favors Luo Chen so much, is it because you fancy his alchemy skills?"

Fei Ming, who was sitting idly, was also quite puzzled.

Although the hundred-year Thunder Ying is extremely precious, it is also of great use to them.

But the Foundation Establishment cultivator sent it up, just treat it as filial piety, why does Haoranzi need to borrow the cave dwelling?

Facing the doubts of the two, Haoranzi shook his head.

"He is only a second-grade alchemist, maybe of great use to your sect, but I am a lonely person, so I don't look down on it much. The reason why I sigh is because this child is a rare seed of cultivation, quite suitable for my Haoran Sect lineage."

"Uh..." Fairy Jueqing's expression stagnated.

Before she could politely refuse the other party, Haoranzi waved his hand.

"Don't worry, I won't grab people from your Ice Fortress. Although this child has a solid foundation, he has been mixing in the cultivation world for a long time, and his Dao heart is already full of machines, and it is no longer suitable for my Haoran Sect inheritance."

Most techniques only look at spiritual root aptitude.

But some techniques also need to consider temperament.

Upright people are not suitable for gentle and clever methods.

The method of Haoran righteousness is naturally not something that people who care about everything and have complicated minds can practice.

If Luo Chen was at the beginning of his crossing, he might be able to practice the Haoran Sect inheritance.

But now, it is absolutely impossible.

His heart has long become utilitarian in one calculation after another.

Of course, words can be divided into two sides.

Without those calculations, he could not have possessed the deep foundation that even Golden Core masters admire today.

Without this foundation, how could he enter Haoranzi's eyes?

One drink and one peck, it is determined by heaven!

Luo Chen, who left Tianlan Peak, naturally didn't know these things.

The only thing he knew was that the laughter and talk with the three Golden Core cultivators before was just acting.

What he had to face next was the scarred Luo Tian Association.

The contrast was so great that it was hard to accept.

It was as if the tragic war that happened on Danxia Peak before was just a dream.

But when Luo Chen rushed back to Danxia Peak and looked at the white spirit banner hanging high, he knew that it was not a dream.

Some people have indeed left him.

"President, this battle has a lot of spoils, all kinds of resources are unimaginable, look..."

Luo Chen raised his hand.

Zhou Yuanli stopped the report of the task he was responsible for at the right time.

"Where is the President?"

"She is currently receiving those Foundation Establishment cultivators who helped us, preparing to finalize the next cooperation matters with them as soon as possible. In addition, after this battle, Tianlan Immortal City has vacated many business markets, and the President feels that the Luo Tian Association alone cannot eat it. So she intends to contact allies..."

"Well, I know."

"Then President, do you want to see those people? Some of them came specifically for you. For example, Kang Dongyue of Taishan Workshop, who wanted to leave, stayed here just to see you."

Luo Chen thought for a while and shook his head slowly.

"Not for now, I'll go to the Spirit Medicine Hall first!"

Zhou Yuanli was stunned, then remembered something.

His expression, which was excited because of cleaning the battlefield and harvesting rich spoils, also became dim at this moment.

After surviving this battle, the Luo Tian Association almost established its position around Tianlan Immortal City.

Second only to the Upper Sect and Great Sect.

As a second-rate leader, even facing a first-rate force with a Golden Core master, it is not afraid.

But for this battle, the things the Luo Tian Association paid were indeed too many.

Looking at Luo Chen's lonely back, Zhou Yuanli shook his head fiercely, and his gaze became firm again.

The path of immortality is long, and some people will fall behind for various reasons.

Or like his close friend Liu Qiang, who died in battle, or like Qin Liangchen before, who could not advance to Foundation Establishment due to physical disability.

Even, in the future, even he might fall behind.

But for now, the only thing he can do is to do his own part.

Just keep the sentiment in your heart.

This battle is a great victory!

The President manages the overall situation, and he is responsible for the aftermath of the battlefield.

Then it is natural that he should show the joy after winning.

"We are the winners!"
