Chapter 367: Golden Sand Floating Island, Alliance of Four Sects

"Which Golden Core Great Sect does this cultivator belong to?"

"How can you tell that they are from a Great Sect?"

"Can't you see the style of this flying boat? It's clearly modeled after the Lang Qi Flying Boat, a supreme treasure artifact, but it's only a defective one. Even so, it's rare for anyone other than a Golden Core Great Sect to afford such a high-quality, large-scale flying boat."

"That makes sense, but I'm somewhat familiar with the symbol on the flag. Let me think..."

As the Lang Qi Flying Boat docked, many cultivators outside stopped in their tracks and curiously looked over.

Murmurs of discussion filled the air.

Their curiosity was not only sparked by the supreme Lang Qi Flying Boat but also by the Foundation Establishment True Cultivator's head hanging high above it.

Such a blatant display was not something a Great Sect's disciple would do.

Just as they were discussing, a figure soared from behind, heading straight for the flying boat.

"Hey, isn't that Duan Feng from the Luo Tian Association?"

"Could it be a disciple from the Ice Fortress?"

Some sharp-eyed cultivators recognized Duan Feng.

They also knew that the Luo Tian Association was an affiliate of the Ice Fortress, and for Duan Feng to be so attentive, it was likely that a prominent figure from the Ice Fortress had arrived.

However, when they saw Duan Feng escorting a man in a red cloud Daoist robe out, everyone exchanged glances.

The Ice Fortress had male disciples, but they were few and far between! Even if there were, most of them cultivated water and ice techniques.

Those who had reached the Foundation Establishment were well-known.

This man clearly didn't belong to either category.

Suddenly, a cultivator from Qingdan Valley exclaimed, "Isn't that Senior Dan Chenzi?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, but their expressions soon became lively.

Dan Chenzi's reputation had grown significantly over the past few years.

Although he was a loose cultivator, he had gained the favor of the Ice Fortress's Absolute Emotionless Immortal, who even nurtured him extensively!

Even though he wasn't a direct disciple of the Ice Fortress, his reputation surpassed most of their direct disciples.

Especially among loose cultivators.

Dan Chenzi's status was even hyped to be on par with the Seven Sects' Daoists.

Such a talented cultivator in the Dao of Pills and Swords, once he forms his Core, will undoubtedly become a significant figure in the Jade Cauldron Region.

Even Nascent Soul Upper Sects would treat him with respect!

As they watched Luo Chen's departing figure, many cultivators, especially those at the Foundation Establishment, had the urge to befriend him.

After all, they were all loose cultivators, sharing a similar fate as wanderers.

With this connection, they could curry favor and reap benefits in the future.

Luo Chen paid no heed to these thoughts.

His focus was solely on one thing.

"Where is the person?"

"Ahead, please follow me, Chairman."

As the two walked, the vast base, spanning a hundred li, gradually came into Luo Chen's view.

While it had natural features, most of it bore the marks of human craftsmanship.

Golden Sand Floating Island!

In the vast Ten Thousand Mile Sand Desert, the Luoyun Sect cultivators had used extraordinary means to gather spiritual veins and create a Second Rank Spirit Land.

During the war, it served as the headquarters for the Alliance of Four Sects.

Cultivators rotating from the Thunder Accumulation Nine Mountains would come here to rest, trade, and cultivate.

As they passed by, Luo Chen's curiosity grew.

Duan Feng gave a brief introduction to the various areas.

The four directions were occupied by the Luoyun Sect in the east, Qingdan Valley in the south, and Ailao Mountain in the west.

The Luo Tian Association's base was part of the northern floating island, under the jurisdiction of the Ice Fortress.

When Luo Chen stepped onto the island, his eyelids twitched slightly, and he glanced at the central ice fortress, which resembled both a war stronghold and a palace complex.

The Ice Fortress's sect treasure?

"The Ice Fortress has the fewest affiliates among the Four Sects, and even among the Seven Sects. Most of them have gathered here."

"Led by the three major families, they occupy the areas with the richest spiritual energy, except for the Ice Fortress."

"My Luo Tian Association is slightly inferior, but Absolute Emotionless Senior applied for a residence with Second Rank Superior spiritual energy for us."

"That place has a decent concentration of spiritual energy, which has attracted the envy of other Ice Fortress affiliates, but Dantu Jin suppressed them. However, with Wang Yuan's disappearance, Li Yingzhang's severe injury, and Min Longyu's departure, Xu Zhenren and I have been struggling to handle the pressure lately."

"After all, this involves the rotation of cultivators in battle and their recovery of spiritual power. The higher the spiritual energy concentration, the faster the recovery. Two forces have already approached Yin Yue Shangren several times to swap residences with us."

Luo Chen listened quietly.

When he heard that Absolute Emotionless Senior had secured a good residence for the Luo Tian Association's cultivators, his expression improved slightly.

But upon learning that other Ice Fortress affiliates coveted their residence, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

A bunch of bullies.

Why didn't they make a move when Wang Yuan and Min Longyu were around?

Now that he was here, he wanted to take action, but he also didn't want to get in the way of the other's hands.

"No! Perhaps colliding with him might be the best option?"

Luo Chen's heart stirred, and he thought to himself.

As Duan Feng introduced them, the two had already reached the northern part of the floating island.

They moved at an incredibly fast speed, and as they passed by, cultivators would occasionally look up in awe.

But when they saw the two of them landing at the Luo Tianhui base, the expressions on these people's faces became more playful.

Unworthy of their position, that's what they said about the previous Luo Tianhui!

Now, Luo Tianhui had sent another Foundation Establishment True Cultivator.

The two families who had previously coveted them would probably not be able to sit still!

...

"Chairman!"

"Chairman!"

"Chairman!"

One voice after another came from the mouths of the Battle Hall cultivators who had survived.

Luo Chen's hurried footsteps finally slowed down.

Looking at the Qi Condensation Stage cultivators coming out of the rooms one by one, his expression gradually softened.

"Everyone, you've worked hard."

Someone choked up, as if they had received great comfort from these words.

Someone shouted, "Fighting for Luo Tianhui is what we should do!"

"It's not hard!"

Words like these kept coming.

Luo Chen was surprised, as he thought that a group of defeated generals would have a very depressed morale.

But to his surprise, as they walked along, everyone's spirits were high.

This high morale was not just because of his sudden arrival, it seemed to have existed beforehand.

Of course, now was not the time to delve into this.

He spoke softly, "During this time, everyone has indeed worked hard. I've brought a large amount of fine wine and delicacies from Luo Tianhui to reward everyone. Moreover, from now on, I will also stay here and fight side by side with you all."

Upon hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but cheer.

The already good atmosphere became even more lively.

"You take some people outside the floating island to receive the supplies, and help Yuan Xiaoyue and the Ice Fortress cultivators with the transfer of goods. Then, bring everyone and everything back."

Luo Chen instructed in a low voice.

Duan Feng nodded and immediately selected a few people to leave.

Luo Chen, on the other hand, walked towards Xu Zhenren, who was guarding a stone house.

"Sorry, I let you lose a Second Rank Spirit Beast."

Xu Zhenren gave a wry smile, "Just as they said, this is what I should do. You should go and see Xiao Li Daoyou!"

Luo Chen nodded and entered the stone house.

As soon as he stepped in, a strong medicinal scent filled his nose.

"Chairman... I..."

On the bed, Li Yingzhang struggled to get up.

"No need to get up, just lie down!"

Luo Chen said with a frown.

Then, without turning his head, he asked, "How is the situation?"

Xu Zhenren immediately replied, "Xiao Li was injured by a Flame Alliance true disciple, and the method he used to injure him was different from ordinary magical tools. It was infused with Earth Fire Evil Qi!"

Earth Fire Evil Qi!

Upon hearing this term, Luo Chen's heart skipped a beat.

He was all too familiar with this thing.

Whether it was refining the Blood Burning Pill or his initial body tempering, he had used a lot of Earth Fire Evil Qi.

Therefore, he was more aware of the dangers of this substance than many others.

Strictly speaking, Earth Fire Evil Qi was not exclusive to first-tier materials.

Its rank was determined by the quality of the Earth Fire.

The higher the quality of the Earth Fire, the higher the rank of the condensed Evil Qi.

The Flame Alliance was a major sect in the Jade Cauldron Region for forging artifacts!

It was filled with various tiers of Earth Fire, and they even had a unique Originless Fire—the Withering Prosperity Fire!

Therefore, the disciples of this sect were extremely skilled in fire techniques.

Not only that, but they also frequently used Earth Fire Evil Qi against their enemies.

During combat, Earth Fire Evil Qi could not only extinguish the spiritual nature of magical tools and artifacts, but also cause great harm to a cultivator's body.

Uncle Mi had once said that when Evil Qi enters the body, it severs the roots and destroys the foundation!

If it weren't for his cultivation of the Divine Soul Annihilation and Wang Yuan's assistance, he would never have used Evil Qi to temper his body in this life.

Now, hearing that Li Yingzhang was injured by Earth Fire Evil Qi, how could he not be shocked?

"That true disciple's control over Earth Fire Evil Qi is extremely proficient. Not only did he sever the connection between Xiao Li and the Chi Long Sword, taking it away, but he also infused a strand of Earth Fire Evil Qi into Xiao Li's body."

"This thing is difficult to remove, so after we retreated to the Golden Sand Floating Island, Duan Feng invited physicians from the Ice Fortress and Qingdan Valley on your behalf to treat him."

"One uses ice and snow techniques to suppress it, while the other uses the power of pills to treat it."

"But even so, Xiao Li's injuries are still recovering very slowly."

Luo Chen listened quietly.

His attention was focused on Li Yingzhang.

The other party seemed calm, but his slightly trembling eyes revealed that his internal condition was not good.

In the end, Xu Zhenren sighed, "It's only because Xiao Li's foundation is so solid that he managed to hold on until we could find treatment."

Luo Chen had some knowledge of Li Yingzhang's foundation.

After learning everything, Luo Chen walked up to Li Yingzhang.

"Bear with it for a moment, let me take a look at your condition.

Behind him, Xu Zhenren was startled. Could the Chairman also be skilled in medicine?

But then, he recalled Gu Cai Yi.

It was said that not only had the Chairman cured her, but she had also successfully reached Foundation Establishment not long ago.

Since ancient times, alchemy, medicine, and herbs had been closely intertwined, and outstanding pill cultivators were often excellent physicians or experienced herbalists and pharmacists.

The Chairman was a powerful pill cultivator who surpassed the Seven Sons of Qingdan Valley, so it was only natural that he had some medical knowledge.

Li Yingzhang, of course, had no objections.

He calmed his mind, and Luo Chen proceeded to examine his internal condition.

A vast spiritual awareness gently entered Li Yingzhang's body.

Flesh, bones, meridians, and dantian, it thoroughly inspected every part of his body.

After a long time, Luo Chen finally withdrew his spiritual awareness.

He now understood why Uncle Mi had said that the evil qi had entered his body, severing his foundation and destroying his cultivation base.

He also finally understood why Xu Zhenren had sighed about Li Yingzhang's solid foundation.

During the examination, Luo Chen discovered that Li Yingzhang's meridians were exceptionally wide, and his dantian, with its nine layers of heaven, was profound and vast, far surpassing ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Even compared to Luo Chen, he was only slightly inferior.

One might even say that his original foundation was not inferior to Luo Chen's at all!

A body with nine turns and circulations!

The Nine Rounds Rejuvenation Technique!

To build such a foundation for the Great Dao was truly terrifying.

No wonder Li Jinhuang, knowing his limited lifespan, had never urged Li Yingzhang to forcefully establish his foundation.

With such a physique and foundation, this young man was indeed a rare talent in cultivation.

Perhaps, Li Jinhuang had even underestimated Li Yingzhang's potential.

Unfortunately, the earth fire evil qi had entered his body, destroying at least one-tenth of his foundation.

Moreover, it continued to erode, threatening to collapse the nine-story tower.

However, as Luo Chen examined him, ice and snow spirit energy spheres enveloped the scattered earth fire evil qi spheres within Li Yingzhang's body.

This prevented the further collapse of his foundation.

But this method was clearly treating the symptoms, not the root cause!

If the evil qi in his body was not eliminated, having this foreign presence would eventually harm Li Yingzhang himself.

"The spiritual pills and medicines of Qingdan Valley are truly extraordinary. While repairing the injuries, they also attempt to merge with the ice and snow spirit energy spheres, eradicating the evil qi."

"This method is very mature!"

"It seems that Qingdan Valley has been researching how to deal with evil qi infiltration for a long time."

Luo Chen muttered to himself, his face showing a thoughtful expression.

On the bed, Li Yingzhang weakly asked, "Chairman, is there still hope for my condition?"

"Let me think carefully."

Li Yingzhang watched Luo Chen's furrowed brows and thoughtful expression, and a dejected look appeared on his face.

The two great medical experts from Qingdan Valley and Ice Fortress were unable to find a solution for the evil qi in his body within a short time.

The Chairman was not a specialized physician, so where would he find a solution?

Li Yingzhang sighed, "If there's no way to cure me, my Qinhua River Li Family will have to rely on the Chairman in the future..."

"Why are you so similar to your grandfather, always talking about entrusting your family? If you have a wife and children in the future, will you also entrust them to me?"

Luo Chen suddenly rebuked him.

Li Yingzhang was startled, and his face turned red.

Luo Chen smiled, "You're thinking too much. Even if I can't find a solution, following the methods of those two physicians, it will only take ten or fifteen years for you to recover. Your cultivation won't be hindered much."

"Ah..." Li Yingzhang's mouth hung open, and his face turned even redder.

Xu Zhenren couldn't help but laugh, "Little Li, I told you that you've been thinking too much! Now that the Chairman has said this, just focus on recovering."

"Hmm."

Li Yingzhang nodded embarrassedly.

Just as Luo Chen was deep in thought...

Outside the residence, a commotion suddenly erupted.

Luo Chen's face darkened, and he strode out.

Xu Zhenren seemed to have realized something, and his expression turned gloomy.

"Little Li, stay here. I'll go with the Chairman to handle it."

After saying this, he hurried out the door.

On the bed, Li Yingzhang also understood what might be happening outside. Despite the advice, he struggled to get up.

...

"Senior Qu, is there something wrong?"

"Wrong? It's just bringing up old matters. Youngster, don't block my way, let your master come out and talk."

"This is the Luo Tian Association residence. Without important matters, you cannot enter!"

"Youngster, if you continue to obstruct me, don't blame me for not giving a warning!"

As he spoke, a powerful airflow erupted from the middle-aged man's body.

The pressure was so intense that Bu Junjie couldn't help but retreat.

Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!

On the stone slabs, as Bu Junjie retreated, deep footprints were left behind.

Bu Junjie stopped.

A gentle spiritual power both stopped him and relieved him of the pressure.

"Chairman!"

A figure slowly emerged from behind him.

He stood tall like a pine tree, his eyes cold like a deep, dark abyss.

Wherever his gaze fell, everyone's hearts trembled.
