NOVEL WEB Chapter 794: Subterranean Demon Worms?
The two started to get busy, with Luo Chen in charge of turning the soil while Qing Shuang carefully sowed the seeds beside him.
They worked in perfect harmony, and in no time, the spiritual medicine seeds were evenly scattered across the land.
"Luo Chen, have you ever thought about what would happen if one day we could find the legendary Immortal Herbs?" Qing Shuang suddenly paused in her work and asked curiously.
Luo Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied with a smile, "That would definitely be a good thing. The legendary Immortal Herbs possess incredible power that can help cultivators break through bottlenecks and even prolong life."
There was a look of longing in Qing Shuang's eyes. "If such a day comes, we must make good use of them and not let them fall into the wrong hands."
"Don't worry, we'll be careful," Luo Chen said firmly.
Just then, Ziyun walked over and saw the two working, then laughed and said, "You two are really diligent, not even sparing time for a break."
Luo Chen looked up and responded with a smile, "Ziyun, you know that cultivation is like rowing against the current, if we don't advance, we'll fall behind. We can't be complacent."
Ziyun nodded and then took out a letter from her chest, handing it to Luo Chen. "This just arrived, an invitation from the Wushan Sect."
"The Wushan Sect?"
Luo Chen couldn't help but frown slightly, asking with some confusion, "What kind of force is this Wushan Sect?"
Ziyun explained, "The Wushan Sect is an ancient sect located at the peak of Wushan, known for their expertise in alchemy and array technique. They rarely interact with the outside world, so this sudden invitation must be for something important."
Luo Chen took the letter and began to read it carefully.
The letter invited the members of the Loose Cultivator Alliance to the Wushan Sect for a special gathering.
It seemed as if something needed to be discussed.
After reading the letter, Luo Chen's brows relaxed, and he handed the letter to Qing Shuang to let her understand the situation as well.
After reading the letter, a hint of curiosity flashed in Qing Shuang's eyes. "The gathering of the Wushan Sect sounds quite mysterious. Ziyun, do you think we should go?"
Ziyun pondered for a moment and then said, "Although the Wushan Sect is mysterious, their skills in alchemy and array technique are indeed well-known. If they are voluntarily inviting us, it could be a great opportunity for learning and exchange. I think we should go."
Luo Chen nodded, "I think so too. Moreover, our Loose Cultivator Alliance has always aimed to establish good relations with other sects. This gathering might bring new opportunities for us."
Hearing this, Qing Shuang's face showed a determined look. "Then let's go to the Wushan Sect and have a look, but we should make full preparations just in case."
Ziyun smiled and nodded, "Rest assured, I'll arrange everything. Although our Loose Cultivator Alliance is not large in scale, our strength and sincerity should not be underestimated."
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began preparing for the journey to the Wushan Sect.
They packed their luggage and prepared some cultivation resources, as well as some precious medicinal materials and magic artifacts for exchange.
Under Ziyun's arrangement, they boarded a flying artifact controlled by the Loose Cultivator Alliance and flew towards Wushan.
The flying artifact traversed quickly above the clouds, with Luo Chen and Qing Shuang standing on the deck, gazing at the rolling mountains in the distance.
The Wushan Sect is located at the peak of the mountains, and it is said that the place is shrouded in mist all year round, resembling an Immortal Realm.
After several days of flying, they finally arrived at Wushan.
The mountain gate of the Wushan Sect was hidden in the mist, faintly visible, appearing mysterious and unpredictable.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang followed Ziyun, passing through layers of cloud-like barriers until they reached the main peak of the Wushan Sect.
The architectural style of the Wushan Sect was ancient and elegant, blending with the natural surroundings.
They were led to a magnificent hall where many cultivators from different sects had already gathered.
In the center of the hall, an elder in a blue Taoist robe was sitting in the master seat; he was the Sect Leader of the Wushan Sect, Qingyunzi.
Qingyunzi stood up to welcome Luo Chen and the others upon their arrival.
"Welcome, everyone from afar, I am Qingyunzi, the Sect Leader of the Wushan Sect." Qingyunzi's voice was gentle yet powerful.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang bowed to Qingyunzi to show their respect.
Ziyun chatted with Qingyunzi for a few moments, and then they were guided to their respective seats.
The gathering officially began with Qingyunzi first introducing the history and current status of the Wushan Sect, followed by the purpose of this gathering.
As it turned out, the Wushan Sect had recently discovered a medium-grade spiritual stone vein, but there was a large number of demonic beasts gathered around it, so they wanted to invite the Loose Cultivator Alliance to jointly develop this medium-grade spiritual stone vein.
As for the profits, they would naturally be split fifty-fifty.
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen's heart was stirred. A medium-grade spiritual stone vein was undoubtedly a huge source of wealth for their Loose Cultivator Alliance.
He paused for a moment, then spoke up, "Sect Leader Qingyunzi, the matter of the vein does sound tempting, but why did the Wushan Sect choose to cooperate with our Loose Cultivator Alliance?"
Qingyunzi smiled faintly, his gaze reflecting a hint of admiration, "That's a good question, Young Friend Luo Chen. Although our Wushan Sect is skilled at alchemy and array techniques, we are not as versatile in combat as your Loose Cultivator Alliance. We believe that by partnering with you, we can better deal with the threat those demonic beasts pose."
Qing Shuang, standing nearby, gently nodded. She too was intrigued by the Wushan Sect's proposal but also reminded them, "However, the threat from the demonic beasts should not be underestimated; we need to devise a detailed plan."
