Rising Sun in the East, Star Gate Luo Chen (Bonus Chapter in Thanks for Alliance Master 202's Gift)

Above the boundless sea, a figure descended like a meteor, plunging straight down.

Just as he reached the water, he stopped abruptly, sending up wave upon wave.

"I still need to polish this cultivation realm. Such crude control of my mana is hardly my usual style."

The Daoist muttered to himself, checked his bearings, and headed east without hesitation.

Before long, a magnificent carriage appeared in the distance.

With a few leaps, Luo Chen floated down onto its deck.

"True Person?"

Zhang Jingqing, standing aboard the flying vessel, spotted Luo Chen at once. Still unsure, she ventured a greeting.

Luo Chen nodded. As he passed her, he smiled warmly. "Your cultivation has improved. It seems you haven't been slacking off lately!"

Delighted by his praise, Zhang Jingqing nevertheless replied modestly, "It's all thanks to Dragon Uncle."

The Dragon Uncle she meant was Black King.

And she had good reason to say so.

Whenever Black King cultivated and breathed in spiritual energy, he drew vast amounts of it into the surrounding area, raising its concentration to that of a Tier 3 Low-grade cultivation abode.

That was why Luo Chen had never turned him away, despite finding it annoying when Black King clung to him.

Ever since that fellow swallowed the Desolate Beast Stone Dragon's soul, he had practically become a walking Spirit Gathering Array!

Wherever he went, he drew clouds of ambient spiritual energy toward him.

Clearly, though, Black King could not bring his gift to its full potential. Unlike the Desolate Beast Stone Dragon, he could not conjure an environment rich in Fourth Order spiritual energy or higher out of thin air.

He still needed the support of an earthbound Spirit Vein!

Only by finding Black King a high-quality Spirit Vein could that gift truly shine!

Luo Chen continued forward.
