Li Dao You, are you saying that Senior Chen was really a patron of the Wu Family?
I’ve never heard of the Wu Family having such a powerful patron before.”
At that moment, the neighbor, Ma, who was on the side, asked in wonder.
Li Rong side-eyed at Ma and snorted, “There are many things you don’t know.
If you could easily figure out the details of a cultivation family, how could they survive?”
Ma snorted in defiance, “Humph!
Anyway, I was once part of a great cultivation family, but now it’s declined.
Ah, what a pity.
...
I can’t help but think of Friend Gao, who was about to breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.
Now his whereabouts are unknown.
Given the chaos in the outside world, if Gao hasn’t been able to reach Foundation Establishment and left the bounds of the Changchun Sect, he probably would have had a hard time, right?”
Li Rong chuckled lightly, “You should worry more about yourself!
The Changchun Sect’s recruitment this time is pretty gentle.
They use places for disciples and Cultivation Techniques as rewards, far better than some other sects.
It indeed inspire many to voluntarily join the battlefield.
However, you, Ma, you are still too green.
You need to be extra careful.”
After saying that, he looked towards Chen Dengming, who had entered the Spiritual Tea shop.
His thoughts were in turmoil, and his mood was complicated.
Although he didn’t recognize Gao’s current appearance, he knew the name Chen Ming.
When he heard that the Changchun Sect had newly added a Foundation Establishment cultivator called Chen Ming a few days ago, Li Rong almost fell off his bed.
Too fast!
The speed of Gao’s breakthrough to Foundation Establishment was too fast and totally beyond his expectation.
Now, although he felt genuinely happy and excited, and was proud of Gao’s achievements, he also reminded himself in his heart that the current Chen Ming was a stranger.
He shouldn’t treat him as Gao anymore.
The kind and powerful Gao was dead.
…
One hour later.
A beam of sword light flew out of Everjoy District, disappearing under the awestruck gazes of many.
Updat𝒆d fr𝑜m freewebnøvel.com.
With the departure of this Foundation Establishment cultivator, the atmosphere in the neighborhood suddenly relaxed a lot.
It wasn’t unusual for Foundation Establishment cultivators to frequent Everjoy District.
For example, the Changchun Sect would occasionally send a Foundation Establishment cultivator to preside over the district.
But they mostly came quietly and left quietly, seldom interacting with the disciples or Loose Cultivators in the district.
Therefore, Chen Dengming, who walked directly into the crowd in such a friendly manner, was a first.
He almost frightened a few inexperienced Loose Cultivators who were standing near him.
During this visit to Everjoy District, Chen Dengming intended to see if there were any suitable blade refining materials or high-level magic artifact swords in the Magic Artifact shops in the market.
If there were top-level magic artifacts, that would be even better.
Even if he didn’t have money to buy them, he could just take a look to satisfy himself and broaden his horizons.
His main combat magic artifact was still the Ice Spirit Sword.
But this sword was refined by the Ming family’s Artifact Refining Master and had too many associations with Chen Dengming’s past identity.
It wasn’t an issue to use it temporarily in Changchun Sect, but if he planned to use it long-term, it would eventually become a flaw.
If he encountered cultivators from the Ming family in the future, he could be recognized.
Of course, he could also claim that he looted could also claim to have purchased it from somewhere else.
But no matter how many excuses he provided, it was better to just change it.
Now that he had become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it wouldn’t lower his status to use high-level magic artifacts.
Many Foundation Establishment cultivators used high-level magic artifacts, which could bring the power of high-level magic artifacts to the extreme.
But in reality, the most suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators were top-level magic artifacts, which surpassed high-level magic artifacts.
“Sadly, there are no top-level magic artifacts in Everjoy District.
However, it seems like there are some in the sect…
But they need to be exchanged using a large number of Sect contributions, and I don’t have any contributions.”
With the wind sweeping across his face, Chen Dengming was surrounded by sword light, flying quickly, secretly sighing in his heart, still too poor.
He still had quite a few assets now, including more than 50 medium-grade Spirit Stones.
There were also some magic artifacts and loot which he hadn’t sold yet.
His total assets were probably around a hundred medium-grade Spirit Stones.
But such wealth, though substantial for Qi Cultivators, was just the bare minimum for Foundation Establishment cultivators.
A second-order top-level magic artifact was worth at least ten top-grade Spirit Stones, or thousands of medium-grade ones.
He could not even afford a fragment of a top-level magic artifact.
He could consider a first-tier top-level magic artifact.
“The most valuable thing I have now is probably the Black Cloud Leopard, which has been successfully tamed.
Selling this eighth-level famed Demonic Beast to some disciples of Beast Taming Sects should fetch quite a good price, right?”
Chen Dengming was pondering in his heart and felt that it was not reliable.
He could PUA the Black Cloud Leopard, but that doesn’t mean others could too.
If the leopard is disobedient, then it’s just a demonic beast and it’s not worth anything.
At this time, he could already vaguely see a green mountain in front of him.
After crossing over the mountain, it was another domain of the No Life Sect’s power.
In this area of ten thousand miles, the Longevity Sect was the boss, and all other Immortal’s gateways, even if they did not belong to the Longevity Sect, had to accept some dispatching from the Longevity Sect in wartime, even if they were unwilling to get involved in the battlefield, they had to at least contribute some effort.
Chen Dengming flew over here to check on the situation because he had learned about the movements of the major sects in the market and wanted to observe the situation and the safety of the surroundings.
The original disciples of the Changchun Sect, when they were in the market, were recruiting Loose Cultivators as robust men to be sent to the battlefield in the northeast.
However, the actions of the Changchun Sect were always soft.
They used the available spots and some special Daoism that were not usually taught externally as rewards to encourage Loose Cultivators to voluntarily join the battlefield.
It was a case of an aggressor and a willing victim.
Therefore, while the atmosphere in the market was solemn previously, it was not chaotic.
But the way other sects would do it was reportedly not as gentle.
The method they often used was to forcibly recruit able-bodied men, requiring Loose Cultivators, who were under their protection in their domains, to serve and after being captured they were forcibly sent to the battlefield, with the promise of a return after they had made meritorious service or after a set period of time.
Chen Dengming circled around the edge of the green mountain, his face heavy with the discovery that there were quite a few disciples of the No Birth Sect on patrol, seemingly to prevent any Loose Cultivators from escaping from recruitment.
When he spread out his Divine Sense, he could vaguely see that there was a Spirit Boat in the distance.
There were some ant-like people and trails of Spiritual Light moving in that open area, it was chilling, desperate, tense.
The situation was not good.
With so many Qi Cultivating Loose Cultivators being called to fill the battlefield, it would seem the situation ahead was indeed serious.
Perhaps the rumors were true that a large number of demonic beasts had been dispatched by the invading demons of the Western Region, putting a lot of pressure on the front line.
So many Qi Cultivating Loose Cultivators were sent to the battlefield, most of them were being used as cannon fodder, how many of them could survive and return?
Chen Dengming only looked for a while when a group of patrolling cultivators from the No Life Sect came flying over quickly to rebuke him.
He frowned slightly and released his Spiritual Might.
After showing his identity as a member of the Changchun Sect, he immediately left the patrolling cultivators in awe.
Then the cultivators bowed fist after fist, bidding their greetings, and left dejectedly.
They stayed far away and watched Chen Dengming, letting him observe with ease.
Chen Dengming observed for a long time, which gave the patrolling disciples of the No Life Sect quite a bit of pressure.
However, he only watched from a distance.
Watching as many fleeing Loose Cultivators were caught and taken away by different groups of patrolling disciples from the No Life Sect, he couldn’t help but think about Chu Xun and Jiang Qiang, who were of unknown fate, and Xu Wei, who was still with the Luo Family.
The location where the Luo Family had moved to was on the distant edge of the Eastern Region, even more remote than Wind Matter Square.
Wind Matter Square was at least beyond Absolute Forest City, situated on the outer edge of the Eastern Region.
Therefore, the situation of the Luo Family was probably even more dangerous.
But now, amidst the chaos of war, although he had already reached Foundation Establishment, and his strength and status had improved significantly, he still found it difficult to cross the war zone and look for his old friends.
Just like right now, he had no intention of stopping the fleeing Loose Cultivators from being caught and taken back, as these people were neither kin nor kith to him.
But what if, among these people, there were Xu Wei, Chu Xun, and Qiangzi?
Chen Dengming fell silent, and the small sense of self-satisfaction and excitement he had felt after making a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment gradually faded away, and he calmed down.
Foundation Establishment, Foundation Establishment, he has only just laid the foundation for immortality.
The competition in the Dao of Immortality is so cruel.
This path, from Foundation Establishment, has only just begun.
He turned around and, with a flash of his sword light, he was on his way.
In the distance, the patrol disciples from the No Life Sect, who had been keeping a close watch on him nervously, all relaxed.
Then they wondered, what was this Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Changchun Sect up to?
Did the Longevity Sect send him to supervise and urge their No Life Sect to recruit robust men?
It was infuriating, they were both disciples of Immortal’s gateways and yet they, the No Life Sect, always seemed to be one step behind the Changchun Sect…
