The Fla Jade Lion sped at full speed, rushing forward like the wind.
An hour later, the massive city of Linjiang ca into Luo Cheng’s view.
As the New Year approached, Linjiang City beca even more bustling. Streams of people surged in from all directions, and nurous ships were docked along the river.
After paying the entrance fee, Luo Cheng entered the city.
"So many experts..."
With his cultivation progressing, Luo Cheng now perceived the world differently from before.
On just a single street, he identified four strong cultivators in the Awakening Vein Realm!
Among them, there was one whose aura was as deep as an abyss, even more terrifying than his master Chen Xuan—likely soone who had surpassed the Awakening Vein Realm!
"I’m still so far behind..."
Exhaling deeply, Luo Cheng quickened his pace.
He didn’t head directly to Lingyun Pavilion.
Having received assistance from the Pavilion Master of Lingyun Pavilion multiple tis, it would be inappropriate to visit empty-handed this ti.
Finding a luxurious inn, Luo Cheng boarded the Fla Jade Lion and reserved a private room.
Inside the private room.
Luo Cheng retrieved a few Four-star Spiritual dicines from his storage ring.
He planned to refine these spiritual dicines into gifts.
Hm!?
Just as he was about to use the Nine-colored Scale to refine the dicines, a strange light flashed in Luo Cheng’s eyes.
The Dragon Energy, which had been dormant in his dantian, suddenly opened its eyes. As the Nine-colored Scale at its jaw radiated divine brilliance, the entire Dragon Energy transford, becoming brilliantly resplendent like gold and jade!
In the next instant—
Buzz!
A shimring and translucent Dragon Energy materialized in Luo Cheng’s palm, swirling around the spiritual dicine in his hand like a dancing dragon!
Imdiately, the entire spiritual dicine emitted an intense nine-colored radiance!
The brilliance grew increasingly vivid until the entire room was coated in a dazzling aura!
When everything settled, Luo Cheng found himself holding only two thumb-sized elixir pills, brimming with pure dicinal potency!
Looking at the pills in his hand, Luo Cheng was both amazed and puzzled.
Previously, in order to refine spiritual dicines, he had to let the Nine-colored Scale make direct contact. This ti, however, it was entirely different!
"Could it be..."
A spark of inspiration flashed in his mind. Luo Cheng took a deep breath and placed another spiritual dicine in front of him. With a focused thought—
Awng!
A translucent Dragon Energy burst from Luo Cheng’s body, coiling and soaring around the spiritual dicine.
Bathed in the glowing essence, the spiritual dicine gradually had its impurities refined, its essence distilled, eventually transforming into a few semi-translucent cyan-colored elixir pills!
"So it’s true!!"
A delighted glimr flickered in Luo Cheng’s eyes.
Not only could he now refine spiritual dicines from a distance, but the refining speed had also markedly improved.
Refining a single Four-star Spiritual dicine took less than an hour—several tis faster than before!
Recalling the devouring power of the Nine-colored Scale, Luo Cheng imdiately took out a Three-star Soul Crystal and placed it on the table. Raising his right hand—
Awng!
The translucent Dragon Energy surged forth, its claws extended, and pounced on the Soul Crystal.
In an instant, wisps of Beast Soul Essence drifted out of the crystal like ribbons, consud by the Dragon Energy.
Luo Cheng imdiately felt the Star Sea within his Martial Soul light up with three new stars. His body brimd with Essence Qi, and the exhaustion from the intense battle with Han Qianlin the night before quickly faded.
After repeated tests, Luo Cheng finally confird that he could now perform remote absorption!
The only limitation was the range, which extended no more than two feet.
"Not bad! This will make things much more convenient in the future. I wonder if the range might increase..."
Various thoughts flashed through Luo Cheng’s mind. Shaking his head, he decided not to dwell on it further and resud refining spiritual dicines.
Two hours later, Luo Cheng refined all four Four-star Spiritual dicines he had, producing a total of nine elixir pills.
Stowing away the pills, Luo Cheng promptly set off for Lingyun Pavilion.
As always, Lingyun Pavilion was bustling, filled with endless streams of custors.
Luo Cheng found a maid and stated his purpose for coming.
"You wish to et the Pavilion Master?"
Upon hearing Luo Cheng’s request, the maid’s brows subtly furrowed.
These days, people lined up daily to seek an audience with the Pavilion Master, like flies they couldn’t keep away.
"The Pavilion Master is entertaining distinguished guests right now. It’s not a good ti," the maid replied.
"No problem, I’ll wait," Luo Cheng said casually.
As if anticipating this, the maid gestured and said, "Follow ."
The two of them passed through several side halls and arrived at a luxurious courtyard.
In front of the courtyard lay a vast garden with pavilions, flowing water, and bridges, all exquisitely arranged.
Luo Cheng’s gaze swept over the garden, his eyes narrowing slightly.
In the garden were over a dozen young n and won.
Each of them bore a noble aura, and their cultivations were formidable. The weakest among them was in the Late Stage of the Third Layer of the Tongxuan Realm!
One youth’s Essence Energy was as dense as flowing water, clearly a cultivator in the Awakening Vein Realm!
Among the crowd, Luo Cheng also noticed two outer disciples from the Fierce Cloud Sect!
Both had impressive cultivations—one was in the Late Stage of the Third Layer of the Tongxuan Realm, while the other had reached the Peak of the sa realm.
"They’re all here to see the Pavilion Master. However, the Pavilion Master often doesn’t et with visitors—it depends on her mood," the maid said bluntly.
Luo Cheng was silent for a mont before taking out the Lingxiao Jade Token. "Please inform her that Luo Cheng, a disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect, has co to seek an audience."
Seeing the Lingxiao Jade Token, the maid’s eyes widened in surprise. A polite smile quickly replaced her earlier reservation as she respectfully said,
"Please wait, young master. I will notify the Pavilion Master right away!"
With that, the maid hurried into the courtyard.
Luo Cheng casually found a stone chair to sit on.
The newcors imdiately attracted the attention of the garden’s occupants, who all turned their gazes toward him.
"A disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect?"
A haughty disciple from the Fierce Cloud Sect noticed Luo Cheng and, upon sensing that he was rely at the early stage of the Third Layer of the Tongxuan Realm, smirked disdainfully. Nudging his fellow disciple, he sneered:
"Brother Xiao, I heard sothing ridiculous. It’s said that the Xuanyuan Sect’s Outer Disciple competition this year crowned a waste with a Wasted Martial Soul as the chief disciple."
The disciple called Brother Xiao glanced at Luo Cheng and chuckled, "I’ve heard that too. If they let trash beco their chief disciple, it ans the entire Xuanyuan Sect is full of trash! In my opinion, the Three Great Sects should just be called the Two Great Sects!"
The two spoke loudly, their voices spreading throughout the garden.
The others wore looks of anticipation as if watching an amusing play unfold.
Conflicts between Fierce Cloud Sect and Xuanyuan Sect disciples were nothing new. This ti, however, the Xuanyuan Sect disciple seed too weak and would undoubtedly lose face!
So even began to feel a hint of pity for Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng glanced at the two and said indifferently, "Do you realize insulting another sect is very impolite behavior?"
The haughty youth sneered coldly, raising his chin slightly to look down at Luo Cheng. "It’s just a fact! In terms of strength, your so-called number one Outer Disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect would be nothing but an ordinary disciple in our Fierce Cloud Sect! If that’s not garbage, what is?"
Luo Cheng replied casually, "Strength isn’t proven with words. Otherwise, people will simply think you’re talking nonsense."
Instantly, the youth’s face darkened. "What did you just say?!"
Heh heh!
The other Fierce Cloud Sect disciple sneered malevolently. "Kid, quite a bold tone! Do you even know who you’re talking to? This is Senior Brother Wang Kunyang of the Fierce Cloud Sect! Get on your knees and apologize, or you’ll regret it!"
Wang Kunyang!
The others in the garden reacted visibly.
Wang Kunyang was one of the top ten outer disciples of the Fierce Cloud Sect. Though ranked tenth, his strength was anything but ordinary. At the peak of the Third Layer of the Tongxuan Realm, he was also a Cross Training Martial Artist with over 800,000 pounds of force. Those who sparred with him often ended up crippled—a terrifying opponent!
The Fierce Cloud Sect disciple smirked coldly, eager to see a flustered reaction from Luo Cheng.
However, Luo Cheng remained expressionless, his tone indifferent. "Wang Kunyang? Never heard of him. If you want to kneel and apologize, you’re far from qualified."
"Hah! ’Far from qualified’?!"
At these words, Wang Kunyang flew into a rage, ready to lash out.
At that mont, footsteps echoed, and the maid who had gone to deliver the ssage hurried back, addressing Luo Cheng respectfully:
"Young Master Luo Cheng, the Pavilion Master will see you now."
Everyone’s eyes widened in shock.
Among the group were elite nobles and even a Marquis’s heir. Yet, despite their efforts to move closer to the beautiful and prestigious new Pavilion Master of Lingyun Pavilion, they had been left waiting on the sidelines!
A re Xuanyuan Sect Outer Disciple had been granted an audience so swiftly!
"Alright!"
Luo Cheng ignored the crowd’s astonishnt and stood, ready to enter the courtyard.
"Hold it!"
Wang Kunyang’s face darkened with anger as his towering figure emitted a fiery aura. Taking oppressive steps toward Luo Cheng, his gaze was laced with malice:
"You insult and think you can just walk away like that?"
