1553: Chapter 1573: There Must Be Something Fishy Going on Here, Right?_1 North Profound Sect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Solitude?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious light flickered in Lin Chen’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did Elder Brother Gu actually have a connection with the North Profound Sect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The North Profound Sect Master, Dugu Poyun and his son, Dugu Si were among the ‘Three Thunder Heroes’ and were hailed as once-in-ten-thousand-years prodigies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji was their childhood friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was expected that Dugu Si and Yao Xuanji would end up together, but Weijiao suddenly got involved which changed everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji was dismembered and repressed in the Barren Wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weijiao used all means to be with Dugu Si in the end and even bore him a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, now that Yao Xuanji had returned, Weijiao took the lead and defected from the North Profound Sect with her people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Poyun and Dugu Si went to the Immortal Palace to apologize and just like that, the matter was put to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen, driven by curiosity asked, “Elder Brother Gu, your old acquaintance has the surname Dugu, what is his relationship with Sect Master Dugu Poyun?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Gongyou sighed, “She is Dugu Poyun’s niece, however, her father died in battle when she was a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Poyun raised her like her own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen, puzzled, asked, “So, is she Dugu Si’s cousin or younger cousin?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Younger cousin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen didn’t probe any further and instead asked, “Elder Brother, is there any item or message that you would like me to deliver?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Gongyou handed over an Image Recording Stone, “Just take this to her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen chose not to gossip about their relationship and safely kept the Image Recording Stone, “If I do visit the Heavenly Mystery Continent, I will definitely deliver it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Gongyou nodded, “As long as it is convenient, it’s just a catch-up between old friends, it’s not a very important matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catching up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why not go directly then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there something hidden in all this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since there is no more business, I will take my leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Junior Brother, take care.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving Gu Gongyou’s cave mansion, Meng Gongxin was excited, “Martial Uncle Gu has broken through to the mid-Heavenly Immortal Stage, it’s a great joy for our entire sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Junior Brother, you’ve been a great help again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen said with a laugh, “It was just a small effort.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Gongxin admired, “Junior Martial Uncle is a genius by nature, it’s our White Crane Immortal Sect’s great fortune!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen asked while laughing, “Does the Sect need any medicinal pills to be refined?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could stick around for a while because it might be years before I can come back after I leave this time…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Gongxin’s eyes lit up: “The Sect does indeed need a batch of high-grade elixirs, but there are only a few people on the entire continent who can successfully refine them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, we prepared the materials long ago but have been putting it off till now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Junior Martial Uncle is willing to help, that would be great!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nonchalantly replied, “Prepare the materials and tell me what pills need to be refined, exclude the low-end ones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Gongxin continued nodding, “Surely, those that can be bought in the market or can be outsourced, we surely would not bother Junior Martial Uncle for.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen stayed back for another month and helped in refining a batch of high-grade elixirs needed by the Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this time, Lin Chen’s feat of killing a Celestial Immortal was known throughout the Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All White Crane Sect disciples not only held respect, but also fanatical admiration for Lin Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven’s Sword Successor, Pill King, killing a Celestial Immortal…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen’s reputation had unknowingly reached sky-high in the White Crane Immortal Sect, even surpassing the Sect Master’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After helping the Sect with refining the elixirs, Lin Chen set out on his journey with Little Gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen did not use the flying boat, instead, he sat cross-legged on Little Gold’s back, appearing as a streak of golden light soaring through the open sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, Little Gold hunted countless demonic beasts for food, amongst which were beings with strength comparable to that of a Human Immortal and Earth Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever Little Gold met an opponent it could not handle, Lin Chen would help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was at the early Earth Immortal Stage, with Heavenly Sword Five Moves along with the Eight-Armed Arhat Mirage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a True Immortal could not be his match, let alone a beast of Earth Immortal Level Strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kills were effortless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Gold, all along the way, ate very happily and was becoming increasingly obedient and docile towards Lin Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because Little Gold had devoured the blood and flesh from a Flame Dragon Ghost Bat, which had the bloodline of dragons when it was younger, it grew up quite solidly and rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Lin Chen arrived at the Domain Gate with Little Gold, Little Gold’s size had already increased by quite a bit, its strength had also greatly improved, comparable to the late Earth Immortal stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of a top-grade demonic beast, its growth in strength was indeed quite rapid!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying a hefty sum of Immortal Spirit Stones as fees, Lin Chen and Little Gold passed through the gates and arrived at the God Fire Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Golden Winged Roc!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is this person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually tamed a Golden Winged Roc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amazing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Golden Winged Roc doesn’t seem to have completely matured yet, but its size is already quite large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be quite formidable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Lin Chen stepped out of the Domain Gate, he could hear the cultivators guarding the gate chattering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who goes there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen took out his token from the White Crane Immortal Sect, “White Crane Immortal Sect, Lin Chen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people simply checked Lin Chen’s token and then returned it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ten thousand Immortal Spirit Stones, the transit fee.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s not cheap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen muttered to himself, but he didn’t hesitate and paid without any protest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maintaining the Domain Gate required a large amount of Immortal Spirit Stones, so no matter who passed through it, they would have to pay a fee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The verification of identity tokens was done as a simple check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Immortal Realm had a list called the Notorious People List – those who were listed were usually powerful evildoers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They often brought disaster wherever they went, hence the Domain Gate guards would inspect the incoming and outgoing guests.\u003C\u002Fp>",1095,"2026-06-06T01:52:11.077Z",1,"novelbin.me","867c5498b82952497b66c0eaf8476d3a4e88e3f640abe688989d723d9166eeb4","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1554","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1552",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
