The Path to Immortality

After hearing what Gongsun Qing said, Liu Wuchen's face turned from cloudy to sunny.

He clasped his fists and apologized: "I'm sorry, it's true that I, Wuchen, underestimated Junior Sister. When I return from this trip, I will definitely hold a banquet to apologize to Junior Sister Gongsun!"

Seeing this, Dong Xiangtian suddenly said: "In fact, I also received news from the inner sect."

Liu Wuchen sighed and could only clasp his fists to Dong Xiangtian: "Thank you Junior Brother Dong, and other junior brothers who are willing to continue to help. I will remember this favor!"

As for who is passing the message and trying to interfere with his actions, Liu Wuchen knows it in his heart.

Among the three heroes of the outer sect, although Miao Youfang's origin is a bit mysterious, Liu Wuchen knows something about it.

The other party is most likely a fox pretending to be powerful, holding the banner of a foundation-building cultivator, but in fact there is no strong relationship.

Uncle Ding is an old man in the outer sect and the successor to the next deacon. Whether he is qualified to participate in this competition and compete for the ownership of the foundation-building pill is still a question mark.

The three great men of the outer sect, and even some sixth-level Qi training cultivators who had ideas about the foundation-building pill, had a common position on this point, and almost protested to the deacons and elders together.

In this way, the only person who could interfere with Liu Wuchen could only be Ji Hongling, who had a good relationship with Miao Youfang and was once rumored to be a Taoist partner!

Most likely, she asked her own foundation-building senior to come forward.

Only in this way could Zhang Feng and others break the contract under the power of the foundation-building cultivator, without even saying a word.

However, due to the sect rules, the foundation-building cultivator could only do this. The other party would never openly attack and kill so many outer sect disciples for a foundation-building pill.

Otherwise, there would be no need for the outer sect of Luoyang Sect to exist.

Moreover, although Liu Wuchen was a casual cultivator, since he dared to fight, he naturally had some connections in the inner sect.

There were five Jindan ancestors above, and a mere foundation-building cultivator could not cover the sky with one hand!

"Okay, let's go!"

Secretly noting someone's words, Liu Wuchen stopped waiting and said to everyone.

Dong Xiangtian reminded: "Senior Brother Liu, there are still three people who haven't arrived yet!"

Liu Wuchen shook his head and said very straightforwardly: "No need to wait for Zhang Feng and the others. If they don't come now, they probably won't come."

As for the future trading meeting, hehe.

Liu Wuchen doesn't think he is a saint.

He can understand that the three people regretted it. After all, no one wants to offend an inner sect foundation-building master, but since the choice has been made, they have to bear the price.

They don't have to come in the future.

As Liu Wuchen took the lead, everyone released their flying magic tools, turned into streams of light, and flew into the sky.

……

Southeast of Luoyang Sect, on the bank of the Canglan River that stretches for 800 miles.

The clouds and mist are lingering, and the water and sky are one color.

Twelve cultivators lowered their altitude and flew over the river.

It happened to be drizzling, and wisps of water vapor rose up, combined with raindrops, it seemed even more ethereal and hazy, making the cultivators on the Canglan River seem to be in a painting.

However, Liu Wuchen, who was leading the group, did not have such leisurely mood.

At this moment, he was worried about the preparations for this trip, wondering whether he could successfully capture the black-scaled dragon; occasionally, he was worried that his intelligence was inaccurate, or that other cultivators had come during this period of time, eliminated the black-scaled dragon, and seized the demon pill.

This mentality of worrying about gains and losses is undoubtedly very unfavorable for the next action.

Liu Wuchen also knew this, but there was no way. The foundation-building pill awarded for the first place in the sect competition might be the greatest foundation-building opportunity in his life, and he really had to pay attention to it.

Once missed, there might be no such opportunity in the rest of his life.

He could only force himself not to think too much and try to suppress the distracting thoughts in his mind.

After another half an hour of flying, everyone gradually arrived in front of a naturally formed dock.

There was already a large ship waiting here. Seeing a group of twelve people flying over, the person at the bow quickly recognized Liu Wuchen's identity and waved to them vigorously.

Seeing the person at the bow, Fang Ping felt that he looked familiar.

After recognizing him for a few more times, he remembered that the other party seemed to be a disciple of the outer sect, and his strength was only the third level of Qi training.

"Everyone, we will be there soon!"

Seeing that the large ship responsible for monitoring the activities of the black scale dragon was always there, Liu Wuchen felt much more at ease, and flew his sword directly to the bow.

"Senior Brother Liu, the black scale dragon has not moved recently and is still in the water palace in the river, but the number of active times has obviously decreased. I don't know what it is doing."

At the bow, a disciple named Wang who was guarding here saluted.

Liu Wuchen showed his signature smile on his face and said to the disciple named Wang: "If this plan can be successful, the information provided by your Wang family can be said to be of great merit. If you encounter trouble in the outer sect in the future, you can report my name, Liu Wuchen."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Liu!"

The disciple named Wang was waiting for this sentence and was overjoyed.

After confirming that the Black Scaled Dragon was still there, Liu Wuchen flew back into the air. He joined Fang Ping and others and flew to an uninhabited island in the middle of the river, dozens of miles away.

The island in the middle of the river was not large, but it was also dozens of miles in radius. In the center was a mountain ridge hundreds of feet high, covered with lush forests.

"Finally arrived!"

After stepping onto the island in the middle of the river and putting away the flying magic tools, Gongsun Qing, Yan Xu, Dong Xiangtian and others all showed a look of relief.

Flying on the sword for many consecutive days, and encountering monster birds several times during the period, is not an easy task for the cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training.

Those cultivators in the fifth and sixth levels of Qi training have relatively strong magic power, so it's okay.

Fang Ping was only at the fourth level of Qi training, which was undoubtedly more difficult. But in order not to fall behind, he had to grit his teeth and hold on, and with the help of the Qi-recovering pills he refined, he was able to follow the team throughout the whole process without falling behind.

This alone made other disciples look at him with new eyes, and no one dared to look down on him anymore.

"Please forgive me, fellow disciples. I wanted to rent a camel cloud beast to fly here. Unfortunately, the inner sect attaches great importance to camel cloud beasts, and someone interfered. In the end, I had to let everyone fly here by themselves..."

Liu Wuchen looked apologetic.

It was not a big deal, so everyone didn't care about it. They all looked at the situation on the island and in the river, and began to think about the next battle.

As the convener and planner, Liu Wuchen had already made a complete plan on how to hunt the black-scaled dragon.

Although cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training can fly with instruments, this requires continuous consumption of mana and will occupy the quota of instruments that cultivators can activate at the same time.

Therefore, fighting with the black-scaled dragon in the air is not a wise move.

Liu Wuchen borrowed a set of top-grade basic formations [Small Five Elements Formation], which can use the power of the formation to suppress the black-scaled dragon, so that it cannot rush out of the formation range in a short time.

After setting up this formation on the island in advance, you only need to use the demon-attracting incense to lure the black-scaled dragon out of the Canglan River. The next step is easy, and everyone can show up from their hiding places to surround and kill it.

Although the demon-attracting incense in Liu Wuchen's hand has been adjusted for dragon-like monsters, the strange fragrance it emits may still attract other monsters in the river.

This requires Fang Ping and another cultivator to take timely action to stop it, so as to prevent other monsters from mistakenly entering the battlefield and disrupting the overall situation.
