Chapter 463

"Why, are the three of you not welcoming the addition of Fellow Daoist Fu?"

A low voice came from the man, and his narrowed eyes emitted a dangerous aura.

Cen Qiusheng's eyelids twitched, "Of course not, one more fellow Daoist means one more force, I naturally welcome it."

Luo Chen nodded slightly, then looked at the fifth Qi and Jiang Yu.

The fifth Qi gave a dry laugh, "I have heard before that Fellow Daoist Fu is an experienced herb collector. With him joining, our alliance is like a tiger with wings. I welcome it too late, how could I refuse."

Jiang Yu nodded, acknowledging the fifth Qi's statement.

"Haha!"

Luo Chen gave a hearty laugh, as if the previous expression was not shown by him.

"Since that's the case, let's draft the agreement and form the alliance!"

While speaking, he flipped his wrist, and a golden scroll appeared in his hand.

Pulling it with both hands, the inside of the scroll was pitch black, as if waiting for someone to write on it.

"A talisman contract produced by the Divine Talisman Sect?" the fifth Qi blurted out.

A talisman drawn in the form of a scroll?

The others also looked over curiously.

"Fellow Daoist Fifth is indeed well-informed," Luo Chen nodded with a smile, "That's right, this is the fourth-tier talisman of the Divine Talisman Sect, the Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth Contract!"

Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth Contract!

As soon as this name came out, the four of them were shocked.

A contract established by such a talisman, although not as good as an oath of the Great Dao, also has its own mysteries.

Its binding force comes from the cultivator themselves.

The more people who sign the contract, and the stronger their strength, the stronger the binding force.

Once someone does not comply with the content of the contract, the talisman will sense it through spiritual sense and automatically activate, backlashing the contract breaker.

Unless someone among the participants breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Otherwise, such a backlash is something an ordinary Core Formation cultivator definitely cannot withstand.

It can be said that this is the kind of contract that Core Formation cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness cultivation world like the most.

It will not affect cultivation like an oath of the Great Dao, and the binding force is far stronger than an ordinary promise.

Of course!

The price of this kind of talisman contract has always remained high.

This one was purchased by Luo Chen through Fu Xiuxiu from the Divine Talisman Sect's Core Formation elder, Ye Xiang.

Cen Qiusheng couldn't help but say, "This has cost you a lot!"

Luo Chen waved his hand, "Just a few spirit stones, compared to what the alliance is aiming for, it's nothing."

Once the Luo Tian Alliance is established, what it aims for is a third-tier spiritual vein.

And not an ordinary man-made third-tier spiritual vein, but a large third-tier spiritual vein naturally derived and gathered in the wild mountain range.

Its value is so great that it cannot be compared to a talisman contract.

From this, one can see Luo Chen's determination for the upcoming action.

"So, shall we draft the contract?"

"Come on!"

No longer hesitating, the five major Core Formation cultivators immediately began to negotiate the content of the contract.

Actually, it wouldn't be too complicated.

Such a talisman contract is limited to Core Formation cultivators, so naturally, it will only limit the five of them.

Therefore, the content of the contract is also closely related to the five of them.

In view of the fact that the last Lianxia opening war only lasted for a hundred years, and this time more sects are participating and the strength is stronger, it is conceivable that the war time will be greatly shortened.

Therefore, the time limit of this contract is also capped within a hundred years.

Within a hundred years, the five major Core Formation cultivators led by Luo Chen must not attack or plot against each other, and must not collude with outsiders to attack their own side.

They must advance and retreat together, and in dangerous situations that do not exceed their own strength limits, they must help each other.

Finally, some binding content related to the forces under the three parties was added.

The Luo Tian Sect, Fengyu Villa, and the Cen family, the three major forces, share weal and woe and are allies.

After some discussion, the contract was drafted.

Subsequently, Luo Chen, the initiator, as the contract maker, engraved the corresponding document on the pitch-black scroll with pure magic power.

"If this contract is violated, the others will kill together!"

Luo Chen gave a low shout, cut his thumb, and pressed it on the last page.

In an instant, blood, magic power, and spiritual sense merged into one, leaving a distinct fingerprint.

He exhaled and looked at the other four.

"Everyone, please!"

Fu Jiusheng did not yield and was the first to act, pressing his blood fingerprint.

Then Cen Qiusheng, the fifth Qi, and Jiang Yu also left their marks one after another.

When everything was completed, Luo Chen wiped his hand, and the characters engraved on the talisman contract bloomed with golden light. After the light flared, it dimmed and finally disappeared into the black scroll.

He closed the scroll, and the golden silk cloth shone brightly.

Thus, the Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth Contract was considered complete!

Several people breathed a long sigh of relief.

The contradictory psychology of longing for and fearing the opening war in their hearts was also eased a lot.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "Everyone, let's gather at my Luo Tian main hall!"

"As you wish, we wouldn't dare to ask!"

"Then let's sit for a while!"

"It just so happens that I have just formed my Core, and I have some confusion about cultivation that I would like to ask you fellow Daoist brothers."

"Haha, now that we are allies, we can just exchange cultivation insights, but it will cost you, Fellow Daoist Luo."

"No problem, fruits, snacks, spirit tea, and wine are all you can eat!"

"We agreed on an alliance of three families and four Core Formation cultivators, but in the end, one extra person appeared. Fellow Daoist Fifth, why didn't you raise more conditions at that time?"

The flying boat was flying slowly in the sky.

Jiang Yu looked at the fifth Qi opposite and asked unhappily.

"How to raise it?" the fifth Qi asked back.

Seeing Jiang Yu's expression stagnate, he shook his head.

"Since we want to borrow the name of Dan Chenzi, we must be prepared to be led by him. Without Fu Jiusheng, there would be others. After all, he is an alchemy master, and there are plenty of fellow Daoists of the same level who take the initiative to befriend him."

Jiang Yu opened his mouth and finally could only comfort himself, "Fortunately, you and I have a higher realm. In the future, we will act together and won't be too passive."

Regarding this, the fifth Qi's view was completely different.

"Don't underestimate Luo Chen. Although this person's realm is low, his strength is not weak."

Jiang Yu frowned, "You think so highly of him?"

The fifth Qi snorted, "Although he has only formed his Core for ten years, his magic power is rounded and there is almost no sense of deficiency. Even Hong Ling of the Sword Sect was at a slight disadvantage in a brief fight with him. How can you expect me not to think highly of him?"

Jiang Yu hesitated for a moment.

Recalling the scene of drafting the contract at the alliance, the fluctuation of Luo Chen's magic power when he activated it was indeed a genuine first-level Core Formation realm.

Such strength is indeed not something an ordinary person can have.

Thinking of the body-refining realm he showed during the Foundation Establishment period, with the two superimposed, in the early Core Formation stage, he is definitely not a weak hand.

After such calculation, it is no wonder that he dared to seize the leading position of the alliance.

He is full of confidence!

"Don't think so much. Our main purpose in participating in this war is to seize a third-tier spiritual vein as a blessed land for cultivation. With your and my age, as long as we take root in the new domain, maybe we can learn from True Person Yun He and achieve the Nascent Soul stage with the help of the opening war."

The fifth Qi had hope in his eyes.

They were previously trapped in the Fenghua Domain, and any opportunities they had were filtered down from the Fenghua Palace.

Without leaving the Fenghua Domain, it would be difficult to go further in this life.

To achieve this goal, giving up some things is inevitable.

Jiang Yu nodded in agreement.

However!

"That Luo Chen let Fu Jiusheng take the Luo Tian Sect experts to rush to the Xiaoyue Mountain Range with us, but he himself lingered and didn't leave. I don't know what he is planning?"

The fifth Qi thought for a while and guessed: "I guess he wants to strike while the iron is hot and forge his natal magic treasure?"

"That's possible."

Jiang Yu also thought so. When they were exchanging cultivation insights before, Luo Chen took the opportunity to ask them for several precious mineral materials.

However, except for a piece of Geng Metal that Cen Qiusheng took out, they didn't have any of the other mineral materials Luo Chen needed.

They did have extra Profound Heavenly Crystals, but seeing that Luo Chen didn't show any surprise when he accepted them, he must have collected quite a few himself.

He couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that when we occupied the Fenxiang Valley, none of the resources in the treasury were left. I don't know whose hands they fell into."

"Why think so much? Luo Chen will come in a while. The most urgent task is to go to the Xiaoyue Mountain Range and stand firm."

The fifth Qi said lightly.

He walked out of the room and came to the deck of the flying boat.

As far as the eye could see, on the left and right were the thousands of Cen family cultivators led by Cen Qiusheng, and the five hundred elites of the Luo Tian Sect led by Fu Jiusheng.

If you add the more than one thousand people from their Fengyu Villa.

With the combined efforts of the three parties, it is already a very strong force.

Put into the opening war, it should be able to occupy a place.

"I hope everything goes well!"

Unlike what the fifth Qi and the others thought, Luo Chen did not retreat to forge his natal magic treasure, but left Danxia Peak and flew in the opposite direction towards the Qingdan Valley.

On the flying boat.

Luo Chen stroked his iron thumb ring, his eyes flashing.

"According to the fifth Qi and the others, the resources in the Yan Alliance treasury were almost not left behind."

"That is to say, it is very likely that it was divided into several parts, held by the three Core Formation cultivators of the Yan Alliance and the sect master Xiao Lian."

"Qin Tairan was the one with the highest realm in the Yan Alliance back then. His storage thumb ring might hold the greatest legacy of the Yan Alliance!"

"If I can unlock it, I might be able to complete the main materials needed to forge the Hunyuan Cauldron."

"In addition, Xiao Lian was killed by Danyangzi himself. This time going to the Qingdan Valley, I can try to trade with him."

"Soon!"

Luo Chen's spiritual sense is powerful, not weaker than a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.

Plus, after years of studying restrictions and formations, he feels that it won't be long before he unlocks Qin Tairan's spiritual sense imprint.

A few months at the shortest, two or three years at the longest.

By then, he will be able to get a glimpse of the Yan Alliance's legacy.

"It shouldn't disappoint me!"

Under Luo Chen's speculation, the flying boat beneath him was extremely fast.

It didn't need spirit stones to drive it; he only needed to inject a burst of magic power, and this top-grade flying boat could soar to its maximum speed.

The Qingdan Valley is also very close to Tianlan Immortal City.

It didn't take long for Luo Chen to arrive outside the Qingdan Valley.

The flying boat stopped in the clouds, and Luo Chen looked at the tall mountain peak.

"Haven't seen it for many years, it has actually been repaired. I wonder if the pattern of the five peaks covering the valley can still be used?"

Muttering in his mouth, his eyes scanned around.

It didn't surprise him that his arrival had already been discovered by the Qingdan Valley cultivators.

A streak of light flew out from Yuanhua Mountain.

The next moment, a familiar face appeared before him.

Luo Chen bowed, "Elder Long Quan, long time no see!"

The person who came was Long Quan, the Qingdan Valley Core Formation True Person who had protected Tao Wan back then.

Long Quan looked at Luo Chen with amazement, and after looking him over, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Dan Chenzi, it is indeed you!"

"You have actually reached the Core Formation stage. Congratulations, congratulations."

Luo Chen smiled, "Haven't seen you for decades, your cultivation has also improved quite a bit!"

Long Quan shook his head. After reaching Core Formation, his cultivation speed slowed down, so how could he talk about improvement?

However, the other party was polite, so he naturally wouldn't argue. He gave a laugh and immediately led Luo Chen to fly towards Danyang Peak.

Danyang Peak, the head of the five peaks of the Qingdan Valley!

It houses the Taidan Academy, with countless alchemists.

There is also the late-stage Core Formation Supreme Elder Qing Danzi, who lives in seclusion here.

The two of them attracted a lot of attention along the way.

Elder Long Quan naturally didn't attract attention; what attracted their attention was Luo Chen.

When they discovered it was Luo Chen, there were many exclamations from below.

That Dan Chenzi who once made a name for himself in the Qingdan Valley is back!

And this time, he is no longer a so-called junior, but a Core Formation True Person with profound cultivation!

Before long.

Elder Long Quan stopped in front of a large hall.

"Fellow Daoist, go in! The Supreme Elder and the others have been waiting for you."

Luo Chen's eyes fell on the majestic and stern hall, and he nodded slightly.

"Sorry for the trouble."

After a polite remark, he stepped forward.

The stern hall also opened its doors with a rumbling sound, as if welcoming him actively.

Elder Long Quan watched this scene quietly, not knowing when many people had gathered around him.

Sect Master Tao Wan, Head of the Dragon Head Peak He, Luojia Mountain True Person Bai Su...

"Can Dan Chenzi do it?"

"He should be able to!"

"Since we couldn't invite Mu Yunyan of the Luoyun Sect, we can only pin our hopes on Dan Chenzi."

"He should meet the requirements. Whether he can refine the Nascent Soul Pill mainly depends on the Supreme Elder."

"Whether our sect can break through the shackles and rise during the opening war depends on this time."

"The mountain-protecting formation can be activated. This alchemy refining is of great importance and must not be disturbed by anyone!"

Spiritual sense transmissions echoed among the Core Formation cultivators of the Qingdan Valley.

In everyone's eyes, there was infinite hope.

And inside that hall.

Five pairs of eyes fell on Luo Chen in an instant.

The new head of Danyang Peak, Danyangzi.

The two elders of the Taidan Academy, True Person Chiding and True Person Xingyun.

The former Sect Master Qingyunzi.

And...

Luo Chen's gaze fell on the young man with red lips and white teeth sitting at the head.

He bowed.

"Junior Luo Chen, meets Senior Qing Danzi!"

The young man looked at him with burning eyes, "Since you have formed your Core, you are a peer. You and I can address each other as fellow Daoists."

After the polite words, he said impatiently: "I don't know to what extent you have refined the Withered Glory Fire?"

Chi!

A wisp of cyan flame slowly rose from Luo Chen's palm.

He did not introduce it, but actively revealed his source true fire.

He let the other party observe carefully.

At the same time, he also wanted to take this opportunity to see what insights the Qingdan Valley cultivators, who know more about strange fires, might have?

The flame rose, sometimes weak, sometimes scorching, swaying uncertainly.

To anyone, it didn't look like much.

The other four people looked at the cyan flame, and their brows couldn't help but wrinkle.

Only Qing Danzi's eyes flashed, "The true meaning of Withered Glory is complete, and there is not a hint of dryness. Haha, your source true fire has indeed been refined to a state of great success!"

As soon as these words came out, the other four were suddenly enlightened.

Especially Danyangzi, comparing it with the Purple Extreme Heavenly Fire he had painstakingly cultivated for many years, it seemed to be about the same. Back then, the Supreme Elder also used "great success" to evaluate his.

They didn't know that Luo Chen had received help from True Person Canglong of the Ice Fortress to refine this Withered Glory Fire.

In that ice prison, after struggling for several years, he finally refined it.

And Luo Chen later used it to plunder the vitality of many demon beasts. Although he himself shared quite a bit, the bulk was swallowed by the Withered Glory Fire.

Only in this way could it be cultivated to this level.

True Person Chiding had keen eyes and also discovered some clues.

"No, your Withered Glory Fire doesn't seem to be third-tier?"

As soon as this was said, it caused a burst of surprise.

Qing Danzi observed carefully and nodded slightly: "It seems the rumors are true. The Yan Alliance built the Fenxiang Valley terrain and set up the Ghost God Valley Spirit-Seizing Formation, intending to cultivate the Withered Glory Fire to upgrade. I didn't expect that after it became a fourth-tier strange fire, it would benefit you."

"Of course, it also benefits my Qingdan Valley!"

Luo Chen waited for them to confirm his capital.

He clenched his palm, took the source true fire back into his body, and looked at Qing Danzi.

"I don't know what you need me for in refining the Nascent Soul Pill?"

It's the last day of the month, asking for monthly tickets.
