Chapter 2492: Chapter 916: Troubled Times, Harvesting Soul Essence (Part 2)

“But that Gui Xuan, his surface realm appears to be at the Early Golden Core Stage, yet the threat he poses to me is no less than those Nascent Soul Old Monsters I once encountered at Shouyang Mountain in Lingtian Pass.”

“If you bring such a strong person in, my Shen Family would be inviting a wolf into the house instead.”

Shen Qiuhua opened his mouth wide, full of disbelief.

“A rogue cultivator can reach the Nascent Soul level?”

Shen Qiubai didn’t answer him, he walked to the courtyard where Luo Chen was settled and carefully knocked on the door.

“Shen Family Patriarch, Shen Qiubai, wishes to visit Friend, hoping to have a meeting.”

There was no response.

Shen Qiubai pushed open the door.

It was empty, only the silver-white moonlight spilled in after the dark clouds passed.

Shen Qiuhua spread his Divine Consciousness, swept around, “Left without saying goodbye?”

His brother, Shen Qiubai, instead breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s good that he left, good that he left!”

…

Luo Chen did not go to the East Sun Domain to take a look at the visitors from Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

Even though, with his flying speed, the two places are quite close, he didn’t have this thought.

As far as he knew, the Tianyuan Daoist Sect was constantly sending people over, crossing the ocean to land in the Eastern Wasteland.

This gathering of troops has already shown the intention to take root in the Eastern Wasteland.

That means from now on, whether it’s with the remnants of Mingyuan or the various major local forces in the Eastern Wasteland, or even the covetous Demon Clan, there will be various frictions and conflicts arising.

Right now, he doesn’t want to get involved in these matters between the major forces at all.

Being deep in these matters, one always ends up being unable to help oneself.

Whether you’re at the Foundation Establishment Golden Core stage, or at the Nascent Soul Transformation God stage, personal factors or others would always force one to make all kinds of compelled decisions.

In comparison, he chose to stay away from the hustle and bustle.

This journey is for one thing only.

To take away the Luo Tian Sect!

There are people he cannot let go of, matters he cannot sever ties with, which, as his realm increases, have gradually become his Achilles’ heel.

How can such a weakness be revealed to the outside world?

Only by hiding it can he act freely.

From Tu River to Luotian Domain, there is a distance of a million miles.

To avoid being discovered, Luo Chen chose a shortcut.

Flying through the Nine Heavens, into the Azure Darkness.

A dimly lit flying shuttle, like an arrow leaving the string.

Under his full force, it took just one month’s work to reach Lingtian Pass.

Originally, it could have been faster, after all, the remodeled Frost Eagle Shuttle had far surpassed its former speed.

The reason for the delay of a few days was because the Azure Darkness was also fraught with dangers, with creatures like the Sunrise Beast occasionally appearing, preventing him from flying at full speed.

But upon reaching Lingtian Pass, it was not far from the Luotian Domain.

Luo Chen did not return directly, but chose to land in a secluded place and then head towards Lingtian Pass.

Since he planned to distance himself from the hustle and bustle, it was necessary to make hefty purchases beforehand, and by the way, inquire about the situation of Luo Tian Sect to avoid falling into some unknown dangers.

Changing his appearance and breath, Luo Chen revisited old haunts, re-entering Lingtian.

Contrary to the imagined loneliness that might follow after the Human-Demon War, this ancient heroic city, after experiencing brilliance, showed a different kind of radiance.

The thick and tall city walls were gone, and they were not rebuilt after the war.

The mountains and rivers inside were revealed to everyone’s eyes.

Within it, buildings stood in abundance, pavilions and towers were concealed within.

On the wide streets, there was a constant flow of traffic, people rubbing shoulders and passing by.

Sounds of hawking, soliciting, shouting, and conversations were incessant.

It was clear that this war fortress had now smoothly transformed into a commercial center connecting east and west.

Every day, a large number of resources and precious items gathered here.

Luo Chen paused for a long time, then followed his memory to find a store established here by a Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect.

“This friend, you look unfamiliar!”

An old man waved away the maid and came up to greet him.

Just because Luo Chen’s apparent mana fluctuation was at the Golden Core Realm, it was not something a mere Qi Refinement Stage maid could handle.

Luo Chen’s gaze swept over the goods in the shop, those prohibition arrays were like nothing to him, while he casually appeased with words.

“With Lingtian Pass having clouds of cultivators like rain, could friend possibly recognize each and every one of them?”

“Little old me certainly doesn’t have that keen of eyesight, but it is rare for me not to recognize a Golden Core Ascendant Master.”

“Haha, I have just recently advanced to the Golden Core, it’s normal that friend finds me unfamiliar.”

“Is that so? May I know what friend is looking to buy here? Resources to stabilize your Golden Core Realm? This shop doesn’t lack those.”

Unexpectedly to the shopkeeper, Luo Chen suddenly used Divine Consciousness Voice Transmission.

“Do you have Soul Essence?”

The old man’s face froze for a moment, then he said with a complicated expression, “That kind of thing is heinous, we don’t have it here.”

“Really?” Luo Chen looked at him with a faint smile, then slowly moved his gaze upstairs.

This action made the old man’s face change drastically, for indeed there was a large storage of collected Soul Essence in a certain chamber upstairs.

“You!”

Luo Chen waved his hand, “No need to get excited, I am mediocre in everything else, except for having a somewhat strong Divine Consciousness. I heard that Soul Essence is greatly beneficial to enhancing one’s Divine Soul Endowment, so I wanted to buy some, to see if I could further improve.”

“Is that so?” The old man, half-believing, half-doubting, kept scrutinizing Luo Chen.

But because of Luo Chen’s Concealment Technique, he couldn’t discern the true realm, only feeling that the other party’s mana fluctuation was indeed ordinary, just a normal Early Stage Golden Core Cultivator.

He hesitated for a moment and said, “Soul Essence, this thing, its value is apparent to many, and many strong individuals secretly purchase it. But the specific method of use is rarely mastered, so it has never had a specific valuation.”
