Lancang River.

A glint shuttle through the air.

Soon after, it falls hastily, transforming into a boat and landing upon the expanded river surface.

Luo Chen stood on the small boat, his expression confused.

“This is the place, isn’t it?”

The token that Tian Xingzi left him was in fact a medium-grade puppet.

It has a mysterious use, able to replace cultivators for surveillance and guidance duties.

When he first attacked the Duan Family’s Xiao Huan Mountain, Luo Chen had hung it high in the nighttime sky to overlook the entire battlefield.

Afterward, it stayed on him, with no movement whatsoever.

Unexpectedly, it reacted today.

Following the guidance of the five-pointed star puppet, he arrived at a downstream area of The Great River District in the Lancang River.

But he saw no sign of Tian Xingzi.

“Where is he?”

Just as he was feeling puzzled, the ever rushing river suddenly surged more forcefully.

Luo Chen’s complexion changed, and he made his flying boat retreat against the current.

A gigantic whirlpool abruptly formed.

The next moment, a human figure slowly emerged from it.

Seeing that familiar face, Luo Chen was severely shaken and involuntarily blurted out.

“Mi Shuhua!”

The old man whose eyes were closed was indeed his extremely familiar old friend.

The lord of the Broken Mountain Gang, a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator — Mi Shuhua!

In that instant, Luo Chen was on high alert as if facing a formidable enemy, almost turning around and fleeing.

But soon, he sensed something was amiss.

“Isn’t Mi Shuhua? A puppet?”

“Good eyes, friend!”

A clear and bright voice rang out. Following that, another human figure appeared from within the whirlpool.

It was a youth who seemed a few years younger than Luo Chen by his appearance.

Rosy lips and white teeth, a face like jade, he looked like a young man.

With a hand pressing on “Mi Shuhua,” he smiled and looked at Luo Chen.

“This thing is a human puppet refined from the body of a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator by my teacher. He borrowed the spiritual vein of this Lancang area and nurtured it for three years.”

“I came here today not only to adhere to the agreement between my teacher and Murong but also to retrieve this human puppet.”

Human puppet?

Luo Chen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but holding back at the last moment.

He had never expected that the corpse of Mi Shuhua, which Miao Wen had been anxiously looking for, had ended up at the bottom of the Lancang River.

And had been refined into a puppet.

“What should I call you, friend?” Steadying the mixed feelings in his heart, Luo Chen cupped his hands together and asked.

The youth lightly smiled, “Inner Sect Disciple of the Luo Yun Sect, Xu Ji.”

Luo Chen’s pupils slightly shrank. That the other party was from the Luo Yun Sect did not surprise him.

When Tian Xingzi had left, he had already not minded revealing his identity and directly told Luo Chen that when he couldn’t manage to stick around here anymore, he could go to the Puppet Tower in Tian Lan Immortal City to find him.

The person he had sent who was from the Luo Yun Sect was therefore quite expected.

What surprised Luo Chen was that this person was apparently only at the Ninth Level Qi Refinement.

But he had referred to himself as an Inner Sect Disciple of the Luo Yun Sect!

This was not something said lightly.

Often in a Great Sect, only after reaching the Foundation Establishment could one be considered an Inner Sect Disciple.

An even higher level would be a Foundation Establishment True Disciple with hopes of Golden Core, and a Seed Cultivator who was definitely being cultivated as a Golden Core seed cultivator.

Looking at it this way, either this person has an extraordinary talent, or he is quite powerful.

No matter which one it is, he needed to handle it carefully.

“Xu friend, did you bring… the Foundation Establishment Pill?”

In the end.

Luo Chen still bypassed the matter of Mi Shuhua.

Xu Ji chuckled softly, directly tossing two jade bottles over.

Luo Chen’s eyebrows rose, happily accepting them.

But quickly, he furrowed his brows.

“Why are there only two, didn’t Elder Tian Xingzi agree to three?”

“Sorry, the present situation is tense, and the Foundation Establishment Pill has become a strategic resource. One of the seniors who originally agreed with my teacher has reneged.”

Xu Ji’s expression was a bit unnatural, “Having these two is already very difficult.”

Luo Chen was helpless, although the other party was short, he had brought two Foundation Establishment Pills as per the agreement.

A Foundation Establishment True Cultivator gave him such face.

It was already not easy.

All of a sudden, Xu Ji laughed, “In addition, with your friend’s full spirit and vigorous state, two Foundation Establishment Pills should be more than enough!”

“Hmm?”

Such a sharp sense, he saw through my condition at a glance.

Luo Chen had only changed his appearance and figure, but he didn’t hide his spirit power fluctuation at all.

Mainly because he wasn’t sure if the other party was a friend or foe before he came.

Revealing the strongest state could also dismiss the other party’s thoughts in advance.

“However, the Luo Yun Sect excels in puppets and divine consciousness, having this sort of perception is quite normal.”

As those thoughts passed through his mind, Luo Chen managed to keep his expression unchanged, he said:

“I am flattered by such high praise by friend Xu.”

“Not at all, just telling it like it is.”

Xu Ji didn’t rush into letting Luo Chen pay the bill. Instead, he asked with interest: “I wonder if Murong friend still has any Blood Ignition Pills?”

“None.”

Luo Chen slightly shook his head, “After Elder Tian Xingzi left, we were out of the main ingredient to make Blood Ignition Pills. We currently don’t have any extra Blood Ignition Pills on hand.”

“Is that so? That’s really a pity.” Xu Ji frowned slightly, involuntarily sighing.

Luo Chen felt a stirring in his heart.

“Are you guys in great need of Blood Ignition Pills?”

He recalled an offhand remark by the other party about the “tense situation.”.

Xu Ji took a look at Luo Chen, his eyes swept over the surrounding area, and in the end, he nodded.

“It seems that friend has been staying in this remote place in The Great River District for a long time and is unaware of the major changes in the Yu Ding Realm.”

“Major changes?”

“Yes, my Luo Yun Sect and the Yu Ding Sword Sect are like water and fire. At the moment, we are in a tense situation, continually experiencing partial conflicts.”

Xu Ji spoke breezily, not the least bit bothered by revealing this information..
