Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 425 - 244: Reunion with Cang Jianzi, Calamity Befalls Guan Yunyun

There’s nothing much to say about the demon insect corpses.

Even if Qi Chuan doesn’t use the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing Divine Thunder, the cultivation realm of Beihua State has long had a set of rules for handling demon insect corpses.

As for this Tier Three Upper Grade Demon Pearl, Qi Chuan chose to let Qu Xuanlei have it.

The main reason is that Qi Chuan doesn’t have a pill formula that uses the demon pearl as the main material, so having the pearl is useless, and he would also exchange it for other resources.

Fortunately, Qu Xuanlei also offered some other compensation to Qi Chuan.

After all, he requested Qi Chuan to assist, and the results of dealing with the demon insects should be equally shared between the two.

Qi Chuan did not refuse and took the opportunity to bring up the alchemy materials for the Great Rejuvenation Pill.

Though the materials for the Great Rejuvenation Pill are rare and precious, Qu Xuanlei indeed had some, so he exchanged them with Qi Chuan.

"If Junior Brother Qi Chuan urgently needs the materials you just mentioned, you might as well take the chance to exchange with other Core Formation True Masters. It’s a good opportunity; a large number of Core Formation True Masters from the Three States are gathered at the frontline."

Seeing that Qi Chuan seemed to need these alchemy materials quite a bit, Qu Xuanlei thought for a moment and then said to Qi Chuan.

"That’s a good reminder; thank you, Senior Brother Qu."

Qi Chuan thought it indeed made sense and thanked Qu Xuanlei.

At this moment, due to the demon insect tide, many Core Formation True Masters from the Nascent Soul Major Sects of Beihua State, as well as the elders and Supreme Elders from various Core Formation influences within the region, and even Core Formation powerhouses from Celestial Cold State and Celestial Desert State, had gathered here.

If he wanted to quickly gather more materials for the Great Rejuvenation Pill, this was evidently a very good opportunity.

However, he also needed to manage his time well so that there wouldn’t be any problems with the area he was responsible for defending.

Soon, Qi Chuan bid farewell to Qu Xuanlei, transformed into an escape light, and left, returning to the area he was defending.

In the following time, he handled matters related to the demon insects on the frontline, worked diligently on his cultivation in his own rhythm, and occasionally went out to find others to exchange for materials for the Great Rejuvenation Pill.

After much effort, he really did exchange for quite a number of materials for the Great Rejuvenation Pill, enough to refine quite a lot of them.

Two months later, in a certain desolate mountain, Qi Chuan descended as an escape light, revealing his figure.

There was already someone on the mountain top, and Qi Chuan found him somewhat familiar. It was Cang Jianzi, a Core Formation Late Stage candidate from Cangjian Pavilion’s Three Sects competition.

"Qi Chuan? Is it actually you who wants to exchange spirit medicine?"

Seeing Qi Chuan’s figure, Cang Jianzi appeared quite surprised.

"It’s me." Qi Chuan smiled.

By now, he had accumulated quite a few materials for the Great Rejuvenation Pill. He felt that if he continued to exchange for some more, he wouldn’t have to worry about having enough to cultivate to the Peak of Core Formation Late Stage.

"Qi Chuan, I heard you’ve reached Core Formation Late Stage? Yet I can’t sense your aura now." Cang Jianzi gazed at Qi Chuan and said with a slightly deep tone.

During these days, Qi Chuan had gained quite a reputation at the demon insect tide frontline, never losing in dealing with demon insects and never needing others’ aid.

His Core Formation Late Stage cultivation naturally couldn’t be hidden and gradually became known among many Core Formation True Masters in the Three States.

Upon first hearing the news of Qi Chuan breaking through to Core Formation Late Stage, Cang Jianzi was very surprised, unable to believe it.

After all, he had seen Qi Chuan at the Three Sects competition back then. At that time, Qi Chuan was just in the Core Formation Early Stage, although his strength was somewhat formidable, defeating the Core Formation Early Stage candidates of Cangjian Pavilion and Yin Yang Mansion with his ability to fight one against two, the realm was still there.

Who would have known that in just a few years, Qi Chuan had already reached Core Formation Late Stage, coming to the same stage as him?

Today was the first time since the Three Sects competition that he met Qi Chuan.

Finding out it was Qi Chuan who arrived, after the surprise, he immediately wanted to discern some details about Qi Chuan.

He assumed that being in Core Formation Late Stage, he would be able to see something.

But what was the outcome?

He couldn’t even perceive a trace of Qi Chuan’s aura, much less see through his realm.

This situation made Cang Jianzi feel somewhat uneasy.

"Oh, oh." At this point, hearing Cang Jianzi’s words, Qi Chuan indifferently released a trace of Core Formation Late Stage spiritual pressure, and then said, "Now can you feel it?"

The reason for actively releasing his aura to Cang Jianzi was for several reasons.

Firstly, although they were not from the same sect, one being from Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect and the other from Cangjian Pavilion, they were now on the frontline resisting the demon insect tide, meaning they were on the same side from this perspective and there wasn’t a need to instigate any hostility.

Secondly, Qi Chuan needed to exchange with him for materials for the Great Rejuvenation Pill. Although it was mutual needs, the attitude should still be decent.

Thirdly, the fact that Qi Chuan was in Core Formation Late Stage had already spread widely, and there was nothing to hide.

Lastly, although Cang Jianzi was still a renowned top-tier Core Formation Late Stage powerhouse in Beihua State, in the current Qi Chuan’s view, there was no need to pay him too much mind. He was confident that the other party wouldn’t be his match, so he generously released his aura for him to see.

"...I can feel it."

Seeing Qi Chuan voluntarily release his Core Formation Late Stage spiritual pressure with such a casual attitude, Cang Jianzi was slightly silent and had nothing to say.

Indeed, he genuinely felt Qi Chuan’s Core Formation Late Stage spiritual pressure, confirming that the latter was truly in Core Formation Late Stage. Yet, just from a trace of deliberately released aura, apart from the realm, he couldn’t discern much else.

However, Qi Chuan’s casual demeanor made Cang Jianzi feel somehow uncomfortable.
