Chapter 470: Met Senior Danchenzi
Back then, Luo Chen, along with the Nangong family and the Li family, had spent over a month dragging their families along to reach Tianlan Immortal City from Taishan Market.
But this time, he set off from Danxia Peak and returned to the old place, taking only one day.
On this day.
Above the bustling Liuguang Market.
Suddenly, a behemoth came, blocking the sky and sun.
Many cultivators looked up, unable to hide their shock.
A magic treasure-level flying boat!
Such a vehicle, in the cultivation world, besides the Dao children of major sects, could only be used unscrupulously by Jin Dan True Persons.
"Which True Person is that?"
"Just passing through, right?"
"I don't think so, it seems to be stopping."
"Strange, why would a small Liuguang Market attract the attention of two Jin Dan True Persons?"
"Wait! This dragon boat seems to have stopped above Mount Youbai. Could it be that the one from the Luo Tian Sect has come?"
Under the gaze of countless people.
The huge flying boat, like a flame dragon, stopped its roaring, and clouds and mist emerged all over its body, supporting it above the lush green mountain.
Not only that.
Escape lights emerged from within, and cultivators drove flying magic tools in and out of Mount Youbai.
This scene was enough to show that the visitor was a friend, not an enemy.
Some busybodies flew high into the sky and saw the large flag inserted on the Red Flame Dragon Boat.
On the flag was painted a complex logo of a rosy sun rising over a tripod.
And this logo was precisely the sect emblem of the Luo Tian Sect!
After receiving this news.
The cultivators in Liuguang Market were discussing it heatedly.
"Liuguang Market, as one of the markets on the only path to the three immortal cities of Tianlan, Qianye, and Daguang in the rear second-line area, has long been eyed by countless people. No one expected it to be snatched by the small Luo Tian Association back then."
"Yes, especially that Mount Youbai, which has been nurtured by the Tier 3 Youbai tree and already has the grade of a Tier 2 spiritual land, making it an even better place."
"Recently, many people have been eyeing this territory. Now that the main owner has come, I wonder how they will deal with it?"
"I reckon the Luo Tian Sect will have to give up this territory!"
"Why do you say that?"
"Yes, as far as I know, the Luo Tian Sect Supreme Elder joined forces with several True Persons to form an alliance, and their power is not small, so there's no reason for them to give it up!"
"Hehe, you don't know, the Heavenly Blade Sect has taken a fancy to Mount Youbai!"
"Heavenly Blade Sect!"
As soon as this name came out, it immediately caused countless exclamations.
Foreign cultivators were confused, wondering why a small, unknown sect would cause such a reaction.
Subsequently, local cultivators who knew them introduced the origin of the Heavenly Blade Sect to them one by one.
The Heavenly Blade Sect was originally called the Heavenly Blade Dock.
It was a long-established first-class force in the Yuding Domain, and from the beginning of the opening of the Yuding Domain, there had been a Jin Dan ancestor sitting in charge.
This force had always been attached to the Yuding Sword Sect.
A hundred years ago, it once declined to the extreme and was coveted by the Cold Crow Pool, which was also a vassal of the Yuding Sword Sect.
But no one expected that the Heavenly Blade Dock ancestor would fake his death on the grounds that his lifespan had ended, lure the newly promoted Jin Dan from Cold Crow Pool to his door, and finally fiercely perish together with that newly promoted Jin Dan from Cold Crow Pool.
After that, a younger disciple in the Heavenly Blade Dock luckily succeeded in forming a core and took charge of the Heavenly Blade Dock.
Not only that, but he also took the opportunity to annex most of the forces of the Cold Crow Pool.
In this way, the Heavenly Blade Dock's power grew unprecedentedly, and that new Jin Dan True Person created a sect with family inheritance as the core—the Heavenly Blade Sect.
And in the Yuding Civil War, they contributed a lot to the Sword Sect and were appreciated by the Sword Sect.
Although many disciples were lost in the civil war, the Heavenly Blade Sect Master also gained something in the God Transformation ruins of Mount Leiting.
With this gain and loss, although the sect weakened, his personal martial power became much stronger.
At the core-formation ceremony of the Sword Sect genius Lin Qingxuan, a foreign Jin Dan powerhouse provoked Lin Qingxuan in the name of discussing the Dao.
The Heavenly Blade Sect Master personally fought in the name of a vassal and fought the foreign powerhouse for hundreds of rounds without falling behind at all!
Not only did he preserve the prestige of the Sword Sect, but he also achieved his own personal reputation!
It can be said that if Luo Chen hadn't appeared out of nowhere and created the Luo Tian Sect, then in the past fifty years, the most prominent first-class force in the Yuding Domain would have been the Heavenly Blade Sect.
Now that the Heavenly Blade Sect has taken a fancy to Mount Youbai, which the Luo Tian Sect uses as a branch, this is going to be a big show.
For a time, in Liuguang Market, many cultivators gathered together, waiting for the excitement to follow.
On the Red Flame Dragon Boat.
Luo Chen held the copied "Yan Alliance Forging Essentials" and studied it, while listening to Feng Xia report on the situation of the Luo Tian Sect branch.
"Mount Youbai, as our sect's stronghold, currently mainly operates the business of purchasing medicinal herbs."
"Although the opening war is progressing slowly, many bold cultivators have already entered the depths of the Xiaoyue Mountain Range to pick rare medicinal herbs."
"Our geographical location is relatively behind, so we don't compete with the Nascent Soul major sects for first-hand sources."
Hearing this, Luo Chen nodded slightly.
This is the correct strategy.
The major sects have a reputation outside, and their credibility has been established.
Loose cultivators who find trouble troublesome, if they pick rare medicinal herbs, the first thing they consider is definitely those major sects.
If the Luo Tian Sect competes with them for the medicinal herb business head-on, it definitely won't be able to compete.
"However, according to the strategy of Hall Master Gu Caiyi, we have established a batch of stable supply channels by using high prices and ensuring the identity of the seller to do the medicinal herb business."
Feng Xia said unhurriedly.
She had already taken over the position of Hall Master of the Spirit Medicine Hall left by Bian Zhen many years ago.
After Duan Feng led people to take Mount Youbai, she was stationed here permanently, doing the medicinal herb purchasing business targeting the million-strong Great Wilderness Mountains.
Of course, medicinal herb purchasing was the main business, and it also included some other resource recycling businesses.
As long as they were bought in at a low price and then resold through the Luo Tian Sect to other major sects at a high price, a considerable profit could be obtained.
By now, Feng Xia was already familiar with the situation here and knew it like the back of her hand.
The only thing they didn't expect was that the Luoyun Sect would actually slow down the pace of the war and stop to build an immortal city.
This also turned Liuguang Market, which should have been on the front line, into a second-line area.
But even so!
This kind of second-line area also had profits to be made.
Therefore, it attracted the covetousness of many relatively weak forces.
"Those Foundation Establishment-stage forces were either beaten back by us or scared away by the reputation of the previous Luo Tian Alliance, so there was no trouble."
"But recently, the Heavenly Blade Sect has taken a fancy to Mount Youbai, and has come to negotiate several times, wanting to cooperate with us."
Luo Chen frowned and put down the "Yan Alliance Forging Essentials."
Cooperate?
For Mount Youbai, their Luo Tian Sect already had a partner.
It was precisely the old friend, the Kang family!
The Heavenly Blade Sect also wants to come and share a piece of the pie?
This he could not accept!
Luo Chen calmed down, "Tell me about the specific situation of the Heavenly Blade Sect."
Feng Xia nodded and immediately told the intelligence about the Heavenly Blade Sect one by one.
"The master of the Heavenly Blade Sect is very strong. Although he is only at the second level of Jin Dan, he has fought against a powerhouse at the third level of Jin Dan without falling behind at all."
"However, the Heavenly Blade Sect itself is relatively weak. During the Yuding Civil War, they contributed too much, leading to heavy losses of low and mid-level cultivators, and they haven't caught their breath even after decades."
"Therefore, this is why they have the move to want to get involved in the business of Mount Youbai to restore their vitality."
"And they seem to know very well that our Luo Tian Alliance only has deep cooperation targeting Tier 3 spiritual veins, and we don't take too much care of each other's business, plus they have the backing of the Yuding Sword Sect..."
Luo Chen listened quietly, his eyes slowly narrowing.
The Red Flame Dragon Boat took only one day from Tianlan to Liuguang Market.
But after arriving at Liuguang Market, it stayed for a full three days.
It even gave people the illusion that it would continue to stay.
Until!
A sharp momentum crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and rushed back from the front line.
After pausing for a moment at Liuguang Market, it boarded the huge dragon boat without hesitation.
Inside Liuguang Market.
Countless cultivators looked up at the dragon boat, their eyes full of excitement to watch the fun!
The Heavenly Blade Sect Master is back!
The purpose, naturally, is for the spiritual land of Mount Youbai.
He is now personally on Danchenzi's vehicle, and maybe they will fight if they disagree.
This excitement, they are determined to watch!
However, unexpectedly.
Next, on the dragon boat, there was no sign of a big battle breaking out at all.
Not only that.
Half a day later.
Two figures walked out of the dragon boat, not looking like they were at daggers drawn at all, but rather like old friends reuniting.
Under the curious gazes of the crowd.
Heavenly Blade Sect Master Song Mi bowed to the young man in red robes.
"Danchenzi, I'll wait for you at Taishan Market!"
The young man returned the salute and laughed loudly: "Daoist Song, please go ahead, I will definitely arrive tomorrow!"
After speaking, Song Mi did not stay any longer and left directly.
Luo Chen watched his departing back with a smile.
This person!
Once one achieves something, one will suddenly find that there are suddenly many good people in this world!
Before forming his core, he was cautious all day long, acting like he was walking on thin ice, yet he still didn't know if he could reach the other side.
After forming his core, everything he did was smooth and unimpeded. Everyone he met greeted him with smiles.
It was like this at the core-formation ceremony, like this at the Qingdan Valley trip, and it was the same now when he met a strange Jin Dan cultivator he had never had contact with before.
So-called conflicts of interest don't need to be settled with weapons.
You just need to sit down and have a good chat, and the conflict is resolved.
This was unimaginable before Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment.
At that time, it was always about destroying families and sects, fighting, or at best, bowing and scraping, relying on others for everything.
After some emotion.
Luo Chen returned to the dragon boat.
A young woman was waiting for him quietly.
Seeing him enter, she bowed somewhat nervously.
"Senior Luo..."
Luo Chen smiled and said freely: "It's good that your grandfather has thought it through. That Red Toad Mountain was polluted by the poison of the swallowing river toad demon, and it was not a good place to begin with, so why cling to it?"
Kang Xianqiong asked uneasily: "Will it affect the cultivation of your sect's cultivators if our Kang family moves the whole clan over?"
This woman was the current head of the Kang family in Taishan Market, and also the granddaughter of Kang Dongyue.
After not seeing her for many years, her cultivation hadn't improved much, just at the third level of Foundation Establishment.
However, she had become quite decent in her conduct.
Luo Chen waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, this spiritual land is ultimately just nurtured by that Tier 3 Youbai tree, and it's only suitable for three or five Foundation Establishment cultivators to practice. My Luo Tian Sect usually only arranges three Foundation Establishment cultivators to be stationed here. If your Kang family moves the whole clan over, you can even help us."
Mount Youbai was originally the ancestral land of the Bai family in Liuguang Market.
The infrastructure on it was still very perfect.
The Kang family had been eyeing this territory a long time ago.
When the Luo Tian Sect made a move and took this territory, the Kang family also contributed.
Now letting the Kang family move over can not only supplement the Luo Tian Sect's manpower, but also take the opportunity to build a relationship with the Yuding Sword Sect.
The reason why Song Mi of the Heavenly Blade Sect didn't make a move earlier, besides considering Luo Chen's reputation in the Luo Tian Sect, was also because he was wary of the Kang family's connections in the Yuding Sword Sect.
He knew that among the younger generation of the Kang family, a genius with dual spirit roots had emerged and had already joined the Sword Sect.
Kang Xianqiong's face relaxed after receiving Luo Chen's promise.
This contemporary of hers had already walked ahead of her when she was in the Qi Refining stage.
Later, after she finally established her foundation with great difficulty, the other party walked further and further away, and now he was a Jin Dan True Person who was out of reach.
It was precisely because of this that she was so cautious when speaking now.
"However, I still have to trouble your grandfather to make a move tomorrow." Luo Chen said suddenly.
Kang Xianqiong hesitated: "For Mount Yihua?"
Luo Chen nodded gently, confirming her guess.
Song Mi of the Heavenly Blade Sect was not so easy to dismiss.
Even if he didn't make things difficult for the Luo Tian Sect for the sake of his Danchenzi face, the other party really had interests at stake.
In the situation where the Luo Tian Sect would not give up Mount Youbai, there would be a fundamental contradiction.
For this reason, Luo Chen chose to divert the disaster!
I can't give you Mount Youbai.
But I can find another Tier 2 spiritual land for you!
As far as he knew, besides Red Toad Mountain where the Kang family and the Huo family once lived together in Taishan Market, Mount Yihua was also a small Tier 2 spiritual vein place.
Taishan Market.
In Mount Yihua.
In the hall of the Yu family, even in the middle of the night, it was still brightly lit.
The young woman in palace attire, Yu Rou, paced in the hall with anxiety.
From time to time, she released her spiritual sense to explore outside the hall.
Suddenly, a bright smile appeared on her face.
"Two Daoist friends, you have finally come!"
As she spoke, two figures arrived together under the night.
Their powerful cultivation at the late Foundation Establishment stage was undoubtedly revealed.
Under the momentum of the two, Yu Rou, who was at the mid Foundation Establishment stage, appeared slightly weak, but she was the landlord, so she naturally had confidence.
"It's so late, I don't know why Daoist Yu summoned us here?"
"Could it be that you want to go back on the cooperation we discussed?"
Facing the aggressive gazes of the two, Yu Rou's face changed slightly.
But immediately, she shook her head and said: "Our three families are cooperating to do business through the opening war, I would only be happy, how could I go back on it."
When she said this, the two great cultivators from different forces couldn't help but show satisfied smiles.
Now the front-line business is occupied by those Nascent Soul major sects and even Jin Dan major sects. They finally chose Taishan Market, which is relatively close. If there was a mistake, it would not be very good.
Under their relaxed smiles, Yu Rou said solemnly: "I called you here this time for another matter!"
"A Jin Dan True Person has come to Taishan Market!"
As soon as these words came out, it instantly caused the expressions of the two to change.
"Passing through?"
"Who is it?"
For these questions, Yu Rou did not answer. She just said worriedly: "General Jin Dan True Persons go straight to the Po Yue Immortal City, why would they deliberately stay in Taishan Market. Since the other party has stopped now, I'm afraid they have other plans!"
Planning what?
Planning the spiritual land of Mount Yihua?
One of the great cultivators hesitated: "With the Holy Land ban, a Jin Dan True Person shouldn't dare to openly deal with us, right!"
Yu Rou sighed, "Better safe than sorry! Now the opening war has started, and that ban is only effective during the fifty-year preparation period. If the other party is not on the list of the twenty-seven sects, and they don't care about their face and bully the small with the big, I'm afraid this Mount Yihua..."
This statement was very heavy.
It made the two great cultivators silent.
They were just from two cultivation families, wanting to do some business during the opening war.
Who would want to face a Jin Dan True Person.
The remaining one said in a deep voice: "Let's take it one step at a time, maybe the other party doesn't mean that?"
"Can only hope so."
Yu Rou sighed.
However, things did not go as wished.
The next day, someone made a move on Mount Yihua!
It was not the Jin Dan True Person, but the old neighbor, the Kang family!
In the morning.
Yu Rou stepped on a green-feathered white eagle, looking at the old figure outside the mountain with suspicion, and shouted: "Daoist Kang, you led people to surround my Mount Yihua, what is your intention?"
Kang Dongyue said lightly: "Give up Mount Yihua! My Kang family wants this place!"
Yu Rou laughed in anger, "Your Red Toad Mountain is destroyed, so you eye my Mount Yihua, this is too shameless!"
Kang Dongyue said nothing.
Yu Rou calmed down and said seriously: "Now Mount Yihua is not owned by me alone. Besides the Yu family, there are two other late Foundation Establishment families. Kang Dongyue, you must think twice!"
While she was speaking, two figures appeared in the mountain and came to Yu Rou's side, walking side by side with her.
It was her two business partners.
Two great cultivators!
Kang Dongyue's eyelids jumped, but his expression remained neither humble nor arrogant.
He waved his large hand.
I don't know when, among the hundreds of Kang family cultivators, powerful momentum rose.
At a glance, there were as many as ten!
Even, among them, there were two momentum comparable to late Foundation Establishment.
Such a scene made Yu Rou's eyelids jump wildly.
Where did the Kang family get so many Foundation Establishment true cultivators?
And even existences comparable to late Foundation Establishment?
Inexplicably, she remembered the Jin Dan True Person who came to Taishan Market yesterday.
That's it!
It must be the reinforcements given by the other party.
The other party didn't want to be criticized for bullying the small with the big, so they used others to let Kang Dongyue, a local, be the bird that sticks out.
She pursed her lips, feeling like she was sitting on wax for a while.
The two great cultivators beside her were relatively calm, secretly transmitting: "Since that True Person doesn't show up personally, there must be scruples. Our three parties together have eight Foundation Establishment true cultivators, and your green-feathered white eagle's combat power is no less than a great cultivator. Finally, with the Mount Yihua mountain protection formation, even if a conflict breaks out, we still have the advantage!"
This was not wanting to give up Mount Yihua!
Yu Rou felt her mouth dry, really want to have a fight?
Just as she was hesitating, suddenly there was an exclamation.
Everyone followed the sound.
I saw a huge flying boat in the sky, flying slowly like a fire dragon.
It looked slow, but the speed was very fast!
Initially it was a thousand miles away, and in a while it was already floating above Taishan Market.
Under the huge shadow, everyone was too scared to breathe.
Because everyone knew that this specification of flying boat was at least low-grade magic treasure level.
This also meant that there must be a Jin Dan True Person on it.
Everyone looked up, cultivators stood on the flying boat, and flags were hung high.
A gentle voice came faintly.
"Daoist Yu Rou, have you been well!"
This voice was very strange, but inexplicably it felt a bit familiar.
Under the curious gazes of the crowd, Yu Rou frantically searched for that sense of familiarity in her memory.
Until she saw a pair of faint eyes falling on her from the flying boat.
Looking at that tall figure, she couldn't help but blurt out: "Luo Chen!"
In Taishan Market, countless people were in an uproar.
Even if they were in a remote place, they had heard the name of the most famous person in the Yuding Domain in the past hundred years.
The visitor was actually Luo Chen, who was known for his unparalleled combat power, the number one combat power during Foundation Establishment, and was congratulated by the five major sects after forming his core!
Why did this person suddenly come to Taishan Market?
With his familiar tone, could it be that he was a friend of Yu Rou, the head of the Yu family, and came to help?
Everyone heard it, the two had a good relationship, and Yu Rou even dared to call him by his name directly.
But all kinds of guesses vanished in Yu Rou's changing expression and finally her bitter voice.
"Yu Rou, met Senior Danchenzi."
