Chapter 1050: Chapter 1050: Gathering

Watching a group of cultivators hurriedly arrive and then scurry away, Wang Chen paid no mind to it.

The disturbance he had created while practicing the Leijue Sword Technique just now was immensely loud; he estimated that it could be detected from a hundred miles around, and this region wasn’t far from Luodu Immortal City, so it was normal to attract passersby’s attention.

Perhaps they thought that a rare treasure had emerged, prompting them to rush over to investigate.

However, this also served as a reminder to Wang Chen: The display of the Leijue Sword Technique was too conspicuous when fully executed; he needed to find a more secluded location for practice to avoid disturbance.

Although he wasn’t afraid, he found it bothersome all the same!

With that thought in mind, Wang Chen soared on his Sword Light and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Meanwhile, the group of cultivators who had just left slowed down after flying out for several dozen li.

They appeared somewhat disheveled.

One of the cultivators clad in green couldn’t help but say, “Brother Duan, that person is just a Golden Core cultivator, isn’t he? There was no need for us to…”

“What do you know!”

The handsome leading cultivator scolded authoritatively, “You’re the most curious one, insisting on coming over to have a look. Do you think the person just now is easy to deal with all alone? If it really came to a fight, all seven of us tied together might not be a match!”

The cultivator in green was taken aback: “Ah?”

“What ‘ah’?”

The handsome cultivator spoke irritably, “There are many remarkable and extraordinary people in this world. The last thing we in the Sect should do is to be ignorant, believing we’re invincible only to provoke a powerful enemy we can’t handle.”

He took a deep breath and continued, “This person’s depth is unfathomable, with at least a high-order Golden Core cultivation, and very likely to be a Sword Cultivator who has entered the threshold. He must not be underestimated.”

“Our primary goal in venturing out is safety; you all must firmly remember this!”

The cultivators exchanged glances and then unanimously agreed.

The handsome cultivator had the highest Cultivation Level among them, and naturally the greatest prestige.

“Let’s go, back to Luodu!”

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but look back.

Although Wang Chen was no longer in sight, his features had already been deeply etched in his memory.

Time flew, and another month passed by.

On this day, before Wang Chen even stepped out, he received a Flying Sword Messaging from Huangfu Yongchun.

The latter invited him to meet at the Gathering Immortals Pavilion tonight.

Wang Chen pondered for a moment and sent a reply agreeing to it.

That evening, Wang Chen arrived punctually at the Gathering Immortals Pavilion, situated in the heart of Luodu City.

Gathering Immortals Pavilion is considered a high-end establishment in this Immortal City, exclusively serving cultivators of the Golden Core tier or higher–its prestige was quite high.

Wang Chen had heard of it but had never been there. This time, Huangfu Yongchun’s invitation gave him the opportunity to see it for himself.

Huangfu Yongchun had reserved a private room on the third floor, and when Wang Chen arrived, he found four True Persons already seated inside.

Aside from Huangfu Yongchun himself, one of the Golden Core True Persons was familiar to him.

True Person Shen!

“Taoist Friend Wang, we meet again.”

True Person Shen was delighted to see Wang Chen; he immediately rose to greet Wang Chen personally and, once seated at the table, introduced the two other True Persons, “Taoist Friend Zhang, Taoist Friend Li, this is the Wang Chen I’ve mentioned to you.”

“His Artifact Refining skills are at a Grandmaster level, and you should seek him out if you’d like to commission a Magical Treasure in the future!”

True Person Shen’s enthusiasm left Wang Chen a little overwhelmed.

Likely the Red Sky Sword had met his high satisfaction.

Indeed, that was the case.

As for the other two True Persons introduced by True Person Shen, one of intermediate level and one of high level, although their cultivation levels and ages differed, both showed considerable goodwill towards Wang Chen.

Huangfu Yongchun watched with a smile. After Wang Chen had exchanged pleasantries with the two True Persons, he spoke up, “Taoist Friend Zhang, Taoist Friend Li, you absolutely do not know that Taoist Friend Wang has also forged a flying sword for me.”

With these words, he presents the superior flying sword.

This flying sword, having been consecrated and nurtured by Huangfu Yongchun, had lost all its fiery temper and its spiritual charm was subdued. However, as a sword artifact, its edge was still shockingly sharp, enough to startle anyone!

“A superior flying sword!”

True Person Shen was agape, hardly believing his own eyes; “Taoist Friend Huangfu, is this, this really forged by Taoist Friend Wang for you?”

He was a Sword Cultivator, a lover and connoisseur of swords, possessing a wealth of appraisal skills.

Thus, True Person Shen immediately realized that this flying sword had been forged some time ago and, with a little deduction, he knew it must have been made after his own Red Sky Sword.

The efficiency of Wang Chen’s sword forging truly shocked him!

Most importantly, this was a superior flying sword!

In True Person Shen’s eyes, this flying sword had reached the pinnacle of a third-order magic artifact, with no room for improvement.

To advance any further would mean breaking through to the fourth-order realm!

Honestly, Wang Chen’s strength had once again refreshed his recognition.

At this moment, True Person Shen was filled with enormous regret, thinking that if he had known, he would have gathered the necessary materials, even if it meant selling everything he owned, to have at least secured a high-quality Red Sky Sword.

He might even dare to dream of a superior quality!

As for True Persons Zhang and Li, their eyes looked differently at Wang Chen after their initial surprise.

They were filled with a few more traces of respect.

Being able to forge a superior third-order flying sword, Wang Chen fully deserved the honor of being a Grandmaster in the field of artifact refining!

Such a character was definitely worth befriending.

As they were talking, three more Golden Core cultivators arrived one after another, and the private room was filled with True Persons.

Huangfu Yongchun had the serving maid who finished pouring tea retreat, then he closed the room door and cast a spell to isolate the room, ensuring that their conversations would not be overheard by outsiders.

In fact, such venues already had arrangements against eavesdropping and spying, but Huangfu Yongchun had more faith in his own spells.

Then he introduced Wang Chen, “This is Taoist Friend Wang Chen, the seventh and final member of our Qijue Club. He practices the Leijue Swordsmanship!”

All the True Persons smiled and nodded at Wang Chen as a gesture of welcoming.

“I won’t say much unnecessary talk.”

Huangfu Yongchun continued: “Today, I have invited you all here not only to introduce a new member but also to discuss a very important matter.”

Years ago, Huangfu Yongchun, while exploring an ancient Cave Mansion, discovered a deep pool deep inside Fulong Mountain and confirmed that a green Flood Dragon was hidden there.

And it was a fourth-order Demon King!

Generally speaking, fourth-order Demon Kings mostly claim mountains and forests, declaring sovereignty, with a myriad of minions. However, this fourth-order green Flood Dragon was cultivating alone, without any followers.

Furthermore, Huangfu Yongchun suspected that this green Flood Dragon might be guarding a vein of Spirit Stone Mine!

Or rather, this Flood Dragon was cultivating by drawing on the spiritual vein.

The purpose of Huangfu Yongchun’s summoning everyone here today was for Slaying the Flood Dragon!

He had been planning this for many years.

After listening, everyone couldn’t help but look at each other.

You must know, a fourth-order Demon King is equivalent to a Nascent Soul True Immortal, and this nefarious beast also holds the geographical advantage. Once the battle starts, even if they form the Qijue Sword Formation, how could they defeat a Flood Dragon in the depths of a deep pool?
