Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1673: Chapter 615: Rogue Cultivators Are All Poor Ghosts, Immortal Second Generations Are Gold Mines_2

Elder Sang no longer avoided the topic and candidly said, ”I had previously taken on the commission to protect this group of Divine Yuan City prodigies, guarding them while they trained in killing demons on the first defense line. It was supposed to be an easy task, but I hadn’t anticipated how these sect elites and clan heirs would behave so recklessly. Several joined forces trying to take down a Third-Order Demon King.”

”To be honest, they do have some skill. A Demon King at the early stage of Third Order truly isn’t a match for them.”

”However, the commotion they stirred was too great, and they dragged it out far too long, attracting more formidable beings.”

”To prevent casualties among them, I had to personally intervene, fiercely battling multiple Demon Kings. Though I slew them all, I sustained heavy injuries myself.”

”Now, the journey back to Longyuan Immortal City will take roughly three to five days if quick, seven to eight days if slow. The distance isn’t extremely far but not truly short either. If we encounter trouble during the trip, with this vessel full of people, should a few fall, I wouldn’t be able to answer to the forces behind them.”

”For this reason, I’ve come to seek your assistance.”

He recounted everything slowly and deliberately.

While the veracity of the details was uncertain, the narrative was coherent and conclusive.

Luo Chen listened silently, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Seeing Luo Chen unmoved, Sang Jiugong slightly raised his tone, ”Friend, you once made even Huangfu Song retreat willingly; no doubt your strength is no less than a Great Cultivator. If you were to protect us, we would surely remain unharmed.”

”Moreover, the likelihood of encountering trouble on this return trip isn’t high, and it’s not a given that anything problematic will occur.”

”Qingyang Zi, why not consider Elder Sang owing you a favor in the future?”

First, he flattered him, then reassured him that the risks were low, and finally, he promised a favor.

He had lowered his posture sufficiently.

Luo Chen, half-smiling, gazed at him.

The favors of Golden Core cultivators are hardly so cheap!

However, upon pondering further, Luo Chen vaguely perceived Sang Jiugong’s true intentions.

There are times when owing someone a favor isn’t necessarily a bad thing!

The concept of building connections lies in mutual exchanges. In cases where there are no direct benefits, voluntarily owing someone a favor usually means establishing ties between the two parties.

Clearly, this request for protection from the other party was merely a small matter.

The favor would only be a minor favor, requiring little effort for repayment in the future, much less going as far as life-and-death reciprocation.

But this could serve as an excellent starting point!

This Sang Jiugong was clearly using the pretext of requesting protection as a formal means to build ties with Luo Chen, the Master of Peng Lake!

Upon realizing this, Luo Chen sneered inwardly.

Claiming to avoid beating around the bush, he had spun around quite the large circle instead.

Nevertheless, such matters were ultimately advantageous to him without any harm, giving him no reason to refuse.

Under Sang Jiugong’s gaze, Luo Chen slowly nodded.

”If that’s the case, then let’s travel together.”

Hearing this reply, Sang Jiugong visibly relaxed, his face breaking into a radiant smile, blooming like a chrysanthemum.

Soon after, Luo Chen sent out a Divine Consciousness voice transmission.

In the depths of the sea, the Black King muttered a word of complaint, then shrank his form and ascended to the flying boat, choosing a room to curl up in.

Meanwhile, Sang Jiugong instructed his subordinates. The flying boat resumed its journey, and Sang Jiugong himself returned to the main hall to exchange cultivation insights with Luo Chen.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, exchanging cultivation insights was no empty talk.

Usually, such exchanges were prevalent within sects and among family cultivators.

Not only would they communicate verbally, but they would also organize regular contests, grand tournaments, and even inter-faction battles to test their cultivation learnings.

In comparison, exchanges among Rogue Cultivators occurred far less frequently.
