Chapter 458 - 416: Lu Qian Leaves Seclusion

Chapter 458: Chapter 416: Lu Qian Leaves Seclusion

This is a feathered scholar with a three-foot-long beard, wide robe, and large sleeves, with a face full of rosy glow.

Upon closer inspection, the blue robe he wore was stained with various herb juices. He wore straw sandals woven from vines, with his black hair tied up with a withered vine, and at his waist hung a crooked, gold-glowing, precious-looking yellow gourd.

Such a shabby appearance might make others disdain him, but on him, it seemed perfectly fitting.

Jiang Qingfeng recognized him, of course - he was one of the honored guest elders once employed by the Zhou Family, ostensibly with some research in divine sense, and also possessing the unique spirit pill of the Danxia Sect - he was Honored Guest Fang, Fang Hui!

The Yunshan Sect had cast a wide net through various channels, searching for him for nine years!

But with the world being vast, just the Alioth Continent alone encompasses ninety-nine provinces, and Chongming County in Cangzhou is only one of dozens of counties.

Being a loose cultivator, Fang Hui roamed the world without a permanent home, making it naturally difficult to find him. Lu Qian even thought he had long left Cangzhou, thinking there would be no chance to meet him again.

"I’ve heard your sect has been looking for me," Fang Hui sighed. "In the past, I was enchanted by a Thousand-Leaf Snow Lotus, causing the downfall of the Zhou Family, failing to fulfill my duties as an honored guest, which I deeply regret. I have no plans to take on the role of an honored guest for the time being. Besides, my research has reached a bottleneck in recent years with slow progress, and since I haven’t needed much funding, I haven’t responded to your sect’s summons."

Jiang Qingfeng was a bit surprised; it turned out Fang Hui had always known Yunshan Sect was searching for him, but just chose to avoid contact.

"So, why have you come to us on your own accord?" Yang Jiye asked in confusion.

Fang Hui’s eyes lit up with a fiery look: "Because I saw your sect’s store in Meihua Square selling this."

He opened his hand to reveal an elixir that was slightly murky, semi-transparent overall, and carried a pleasant fragrance.

This was an imperfect product produced after Yunshan Sect obtained the Danxia Sect’s unique pill formula and experimented with refining, the Star Dew Nourishing Spirit Pill.

Though not perfect, after a year of refining, the medicinal effects of several Qi cultivation level elixirs were already capable of reaching seventy to eighty percent of those produced by the Danxia Sect. It was estimated that in another six months, good-quality pills could be refined.

Otherwise, Yunshan Sect wouldn’t dare sell them on the market. They were clear to say externally that these were practice attempts and that the medicinal effects were not guaranteed, but they were cheap. Faced with rare unique spirit pills on the market, many loose cultivators scrambled to purchase them, booming the pill business.

"Indeed, this is my sect’s unique elixir. Is there a problem with it?" Jiang Qingfeng was slightly uneasy, not knowing the details, thinking there might be something wrong with the elixir.

Taking a deep breath but unable to suppress the excitement on his face, Fang Hui’s voice involuntarily rose: "You might fool others, but you can’t fool me."

He reached into his sleeve, took out a porcelain bottle, and gently poured out a fragrant, pale blue, semi-transparent spirit pill.

This was a high-quality Star Dew Nourishing Spirit Pill!

He actually had such a pill, and his refining was far more skilled compared to Yunshan Sect’s current techniques.

"This is not your Yunshan Sect’s elixir; this is the Danxia Sect’s unique spirit pill!"

"I must ask, what is the relationship between your sect and the Danxia Sect? Why would the Danxia Sect give your sect the pill formula?"

Hearing the name Danxia Sect from his mouth, the three elders were taken aback. Danxia Sect and Guh Niqiang - only a few elders of Yunshan Sect knew this secret!

It turned out to be the Danxia Sect that lured Fang Hui out.

After a moment of silence, seeing Fang Hui’s excited and eager expression, Wang Yu said solemnly: "There is indeed a connection between the Danxia Sect and our sect. But without the Sect Leader’s approval, it is inconvenient to disclose. If Fellow Daoist Fang truly wants to know, you might as well stay as a guest temporarily in our sect. As long as the Sect Leader emerges from seclusion—"

Just halfway through his words, suddenly, everyone felt the spiritual Qi in the city swirling tumultuously, flowing like roaring tides, converging towards one place!

They all stood up in unison without even greeting Fang Hui and rushed out of the hall. From afar, they saw on the attic where Lu Qian was in seclusion, the spiritual Qi rolling and condensing, like layers of mist surging into the building.

In front of the pavilion, disciples were continuously gathering, with the Sect Leader’s disciple Wu Yan maintaining order and instructing them not to approach.

Upon seeing the three elders, the disciples greeted them in unison.

"Masters, what is the Sect Leader Master..."

Wu Yan had just asked when suddenly the spiritual Qi accelerated like a tidal wave washing over everyone, rushing into the building. In a few breaths, the tide of spiritual Qi halted, with no absorbing force and instantly dissolved, dispersing all around.

In an instant, the surrounding area of the pavilion was filled with spiritual mechanism, far surpassing the norm.

In the puzzled eyes of everyone, the layers of array formations and spirit talismans surrounding the pavilion quietly broke away.

Jiang Qingfeng’s heart rate quickened, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on the doorway.

With a gentle creak, the two doors were pushed open from the inside out, and all the disciples held their breaths.

Under the warm winter sun, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure slowly stepped out from within the doorway.

With sharp eyes and keen insight, the cultivators saw the spiritual lights twinkling where he walked, dust gently scattered on the ground, and even the tiny specks of dust in the air, floating in the sunlight, lightly pushed aside as if repelled by an invisible forcefield.

Unblemished and clean!

Jiang Baitao, who had just arrived, couldn’t help but blurt out at the sight of the sunlit Lu Qian with his eyes closed, "The Sect Leader Senior Brother is glowing!"

The familiar slender figure, the familiar handsome face, but different - Lu Qian was glowing.

His skin was like jade, translucent and radiant, enveloped in a layer of precious light. This shimmering precious light intertwined with sunlight, making it look as though he was draped in a clean, bright veil of light.

All present cultivators were stunned by the sight.

Under the veil, Wang Yu’s dark eyes looked at Lu Qian, examining the clear and transparent, stainless body that returned to innate purity.

This is the Pure Glazed Body!

Ordinary people must reach the position of Nascent Soul Spirit Monarch to restore the pure state of an infant and obtain this Taoist body.

But now, Lu Qian has cultivated this body with seventy-seven rare spiritual medicines of unmatched rarity at the Foundation Establishment stage!

Lu Qian stood silently for a moment, lightly inhaled, and slowly opened his eyes.

Two points of starlight flickered briefly before dimming, revealing a pair of eyes, black and white, perfectly clear and clean.

Natural and pure, gentle and friendly.

"I did it," Lu Qian smiled faintly.

He inhaled again, and the Glazed Body, inadvertently revealed after just exiting cultivation, instantly vanished, the brilliant light around him disappeared, and he returned to an ordinary appearance.

In the next moment, a spiritual pressure suddenly rose from Lu Qian, grand and magnificent, majestic and upright.

Yang Jiye opened his eyes wide in surprise.

This is Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment!
