After Linghu Chu returned from Nascent Infant, Luo Yan then accompanied his master, Shi Liuli, and third senior sister Liang Ruohua to pay a visit.
Following the formation of his Nascent Infant, Linghu Chu was formally promoted to the rank of an elder at Yuqing View, thus qualifying him to start his own sect within Penglai.
To signify his lineage and teachings, Linghu Chu established a new faction called "Heavenly Forge Sword Workshop," located deep underground on Penglai Immortal Island, conveniently drawing in the undersea lava.
As the two walked along the underground passage to reach Heavenly Forge Sword Workshop, they saw the eldest senior brother, Linghu Chu, wearing the distinctive brocade robe of an elder and conversing jovially with a few other elders.
"Master," he said respectfully.
"Good, good," Elder Shi Ding replied with great satisfaction and then started chatting with Linghu Chu, planning to impart so experience of the elders to him.
Liang Ruohua listened by the side; Miss Shi, bored to death, quietly pulled Luo Yan aside and asked,
"I heard that our Heavenly Forge is going to have a new junior sister?"
"Who told you that?" Luo Yan asked in surprise.
"I heard it from senior sister," Shi Liuli said with a "you better not fool " expression.
"Oh," Luo Yan replied with a smile, "I’m not aware of this. However... since fourth senior brother perished, the Shi Family from Guangling seems to have been planning to send another person to beco a disciple under our master. I’ve even t said person last ti."
"Really?" Shi Liuli frowned, visibly holding back displeasure as she asked in a low voice, "Is this new junior sister pretty?"
Luo Yan: ?
Miss Shi, that tinge of jealousy seems a bit off.
"That, I didn’t notice," Luo Yan smoothly pretended to ponder laboriously and said with embarrassnt, "Wait, let think carefully… alas, at that ti I was preoccupied with chatting with her elder, so I didn’t get a clear look at her."
While he feigned a lapse in mory, Miss Shi felt a sense of relief and secretly sighed in relief.
After exchanging pleasantries with Linghu Chu, everyone took their leave.
Thinking that their eldest senior brother would no longer stay at the Heavenly Craft Workshop from now on, Shi Liuli felt an inexplicable sense of lancholy.
However, the next mont, she was left gaping and speechless.
Because Luo Yan was reporting to Elder Shi Ding that he was planning to go out for a while.
"Master, having heard that Kunlun’s chief disciple at the Foundation Establishnt Realm has ford a First Grade Golden Core, I too wish to seek out adventures and strive for a higher cultivation level while my lifespan is abundant. I implore your consent, master," he said.
"Hm..." Elder Shi Ding mulled over it but had not yet replied when Miss Shi couldn’t hold back anymore.
"Junior brother!" she called out anxiously, her tone a mix of anger and a certain kind of panic of being left behind, "You’re planning to abandon and go have fun by yourself, aren’t you!"
"Not at all, senior sister," Luo Yan said gently, "I am going on a trial."
"Trials are just another word for having fun!" Shi Liuli revealed an angry expression that clearly said "don’t try to fool ," yet soon a multitude of grievances arose.
"Liuli," Elder Shi Ding said sternly, "stop being unruly."
"Luo Yan isn’t going out to play, but to prepare for his future path. You must not interfere in this matter."
After saying that, he turned back to Luo Yan,
"Luo Yan, from the look on your face, it seems you’ve made up your mind?"
"To report to master," Luo Yan said seriously, "I have a rough idea of what I aim to explore on this trip. It’s just that the uncertainties and risks are quite significant, so I’m not very confident."
"Regardless, safety must always co first," Elder Shi Ding said earnestly, "If I’m not mistaken, you are not far from the threshold of the Third Grade Golden Core. Should you encounter any dangers, you’ll need to be cautious."
In Elder Shi Ding’s eyes, having taken Dynasty Yuan Spiritual Energy, Jade Pond Golden Lotus, and Cinnabar Pill, along with Luo Yan’s claim of "having taken rcurial Elixir Liquid," he had already accumulated a hundred and seventy years of cultivation.
The remaining thirty years could be filled with regular cultivation... His aspiration to strive for a higher grade likely stemd from his ambition to reach the Second Grade Golden Core.
It is not a bad thing for the youth to have ambition after all.
Even soone like Qiu Changtian, blessed with extraordinary talent, would not have been able to obtain a First Grade Golden Core had it not been for various external trials. How could there possibly be so many Purple Mansion secret dicines in Kunlun?
"Disciple understands." Luo Yan hurriedly nodded in agreent.
Having obtained Elder Shi Ding’s permission and to avoid Miss Shi’s entanglent with her insistence on following, Luo Yan left without taking anything with him, flying straight toward the southeastern sea area of Penglai Island.
Sure enough, Miss Shi chased after him a mont later, but after not finding any trace of her junior brother in the Heavenly Craft Workshop, she threw a fit of rage.
The next day, after a sleepless night, Shi Liuli finally made up her mind.
"Father, I also want to go out for training," she said to Elder Shi Ding earnestly.
"I’ve told you..." Elder Shi Ding subconsciously thought she wanted to chase after Luo Yan and was about to continue lecturing his daughter when he suddenly realized what she said, "Hmm?"
"Father, I’m not talking about going after junior brother," Shi Liuli affird.
"I also want to strive for the grade rank of the Golden Core."
The reason Luo Yan didn’t let Shi Liuli follow him was simply because he was not truly going out to train, but rely using it as a pretext for his "Core Formation."
Arriving at the island where he had previously practiced the Five Elents Divine Light, Luo Yan descended and planned to stay there for a while to "pass through the tribulation at leisure."
About seven or eight days passed when suddenly several dark clouds enveloped the area.
Luo Yan looked carefully and saw three seductively dressed won; from their attire, they seed to be Golden Core True Persons from the Heavenly Demon Path.
"That Penglai’s Luo Yan could possibly be here..." one of them hovered in the air, waving her sleeves and releasing a few circling Demon Heads, "Found him!"
The Demon Heads plunged down abruptly, diving straight toward Luo Yan hidden in the forest!
Luo Yan expressionlessly fired the Huangting Kunwu Sword, annihilating the Demon Head and his thoughts grew heavy.
From their words and tone, it seed they had known the general direction of his sword control and had been tracking him all along?
Wait, he had only spontaneously decided to go out for training, and the direction was chosen at random.
That is to say, there’s a traitor in the Yuqing View who leaked my whereabouts?
Well, that is sothing I have known for a while. If one day I can beco the Pavilion Master, I will definitely cleanse the entire Penglai!
Luo Yan sneered inwardly but he sighed outwardly:
"Heavenly Demon Path cultivators? How did you manage to find this place?"
"Curious, aren’t you? It doesn’t matter," the leading Heavenly Demon Daoist Master said with a sinister smile. "Once we refine you into a Demon Head, we will have plenty of ti to talk."
"Is that so." Luo Yan chuckled and clapped his hands forcefully together.
Postnatal Five Elents Great Extermination Divine Light!
The Divine Light surged endlessly from between his palms, sweeping across the sky.
The three Heavenly Demon Daoist Masters imdiately scattered, controlling their demonic forces to rapidly dodge the attack of the Postnatal Five Elents Divine Light.
They were incredibly fast, eluding not only the Five Elents Divine Light but also the Huangting Kunwu Sword—it was clear they were well-prepared for Luo Yan.
After all, Luo Yan only had the cultivation level of the Refining Mansion realm, and since the Five Elents Divine Light was an Immortal Rank secret technique, it was sure to consu an enormous amount of True Yuan.
As long as they could drag out the fight for a while, his True Yuan would inevitably be exhausted, and they could easily kill him...
A quarter of an hour later.
The three Heavenly Demon Daoist Masters bore expressions of disbelief, exchanging looks of indescribable fear.
Their True Yuan was running dangerously low!
