Luo Chuan Arrives at Luohe Sect, Progenitor Lan Ruo Is Shocked

"Either become the sword soul of this one's demon sword, or die."

When Xu Liguo heard that Luo Chuan intended to refine him into a demon, fear immediately rose in his heart. Without looking back, he shot toward the distance.

"You want to turn your Grandpa Xu into a demon? You really know how to dream. Even if your Grandpa Xu dies, I won't let you bully me!"

Luo Chuan snorted disdainfully and waved his right hand. Xu Liguo, who was fleeing, was instantly enveloped by a mass of spiritual energy and dragged back before Luo Chuan.

Tears immediately streamed down Xu Liguo's face. Clutching Luo Chuan's leg, he begged, "Fellow Daoist, don't kill me, Fellow Daoist. I don't want to die yet. Just let me go, please, Fellow Daoist."

After saying this, an imperceptible chill flashed through Xu Liguo's eyes. He thought, You damn bastard, once I return to the Tiangang Sect, I'll have Master kill you and leave you without a burial ground!

Seeing Xu Liguo's expression, how could Luo Chuan not know what he was thinking? Without giving Xu Liguo time to react, an incomparably violent force suddenly slammed into his body, completely erasing his original divine sense.

With his divine sense erased, Xu Liguo became somewhat vacant-eyed. Yet driven by instinct, he still wanted to flee this place.

"Sword soul, collect!"

Luo Chuan's expression remained unchanged as his fingers moved slightly. Xu Liguo's body was instantly drawn into the Luo God Sword, becoming its exclusive sword soul.

Once inside the Luo God Sword, Xu Liguo immediately began cursing, "You damned jinx, let me out! Let me out!"

"If you dare make another sound, don't blame this one for being merciless!"

Just as Xu Liguo finished speaking, Luo Chuan's icy voice rang out. The force of it knocked Xu Liguo straight to the ground, leaving him trembling violently.

"Master, I was wrong! I won't dare do it again, never again!"

Luo Chuan did not stop at Xu Liguo's pleas. Instead, he locked many ferocious beasts inside and used them to fight Xu Liguo, thereby cultivating a true demon.

For a turncoat like this, Luo Chuan had plenty of ways to make him submit; only the methods differed. Besides, it would truly be a waste not to put such a fine demon as Xu Liguo to use.

Looking at the ferocious beasts before him, Xu Liguo took two fearful steps back and choked out, "Senior, let me out! Let me out!"

"Either kill them, or die by their hands."

Luo Chuan ignored the turncoat Xu Liguo. With a flicker, he returned to the top of the Blood Qilin's head.

Liu Mei raised her head to look at her master and asked curiously, "Master, what were you doing just now?"

"Subduing a demon. It will be of great use in the future."

Demons were extremely useful. Not only could they serve as sword souls, they could also help him scout many dangerous places. For Luo Chuan's current circumstances, this would be immensely beneficial.

Liu Mei and A-Dai looked at each other. Clearly, neither understood what kind of demon their master meant, but judging from the situation, it would likely be of great help to their master in the future.

"Master, Luohe Sect of the Huofen Kingdom is up ahead." Liu Mei stood and walked to Luo Chuan's side, extending her jade-like hand toward the sect amid the rolling mountains in the distance.

Luo Chuan gripped the Jade Flute in one hand. After putting away the Blood Qilin, he strode forward. Merely releasing a faint trace of energy was enough to shake the entire Luohe Sect.

"Who dares trespass into Luohe Sect!"

As a piercing cry suddenly rang out, all three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of Luohe Sect appeared in the air, including Progenitor Lan Ruo, whose cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Progenitor Lan Ruo's delicate brows furrowed as she looked at Luo Chuan. Suddenly, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as though she had seen him somewhere before, yet could not remember where.

"This Fellow Daoist, why have you trespassed into Luohe Sect's territory? Have you forgotten that this is the Huofen Kingdom?"

The old man in a crimson robe glared, rebuking Luo Chuan and the others for their lack of manners. "No matter which cultivation country you come from, you cannot provoke Luohe Sect like this."

With one hand behind his back, Luo Chuan glanced sideways and said, "This one is Luo Chuan, Progenitor of Hengyue Sect. I came here to discuss matters with your sect. Is this how your sect treats its guests?"

Upon hearing that he was Luo Chuan, Progenitor of Hengyue Sect, the crimson-robed elder froze. He immediately dropped to his knees, trembling as he said, "You are Senior Luo Chuan, who broke through to the Spirit Severing Realm at thirty?"

"This junior failed to recognize you. Please forgive this junior, Senior..."

"It really is you."

Progenitor Lan Ruo also recognized Luo Chuan at that moment. She had initially thought he merely resembled him, never expecting that the child from back then had truly grown to such heights.

Luo Chuan landed steadily on the ground. Though he released no spiritual energy, the aura emanating from him was enough to make even the Nascent Soul Realm progenitors tremble.

After all, the strength of a Spirit Severing Realm expert was terrifying beyond measure. Their mere bearing could slaughter countless Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

Of course, against trash like Lin Yi, the Heaven-Reaching Tower envoy, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator alone would be enough to put him to death.

Lan Ruo, Progenitor of Luohe Sect, lightly pursed her lips and made a welcoming gesture. "I never expected the Foundation Establishment Realm junior from back then to have grown into a Spirit Severing Realm expert. It seems I truly misjudged you back then."

"Hehe, Progenitor Lan Ruo, you jest. We already knew each other back then, and now that Luohe Sect has joined forces with Hengyue Sect, our future achievements will surely be limitless."

Progenitor Lan Ruo smiled faintly and invited them into the main hall. She personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Luo Chuan.

After all, having a Spirit Severing Realm expert visit their sect could only bring them benefits. Once word spread, others would assume that this Spirit Severing Realm expert had ties to Luohe Sect and would not dare provoke them lightly.

This was also the key to a sect's ability to establish itself.

Lan Ruo softly asked, "Senior Luo Chuan, what brings you here this time?"

Luo Chuan did not beat around the bush and said directly, "Both of my disciples have reached the great completion of the late Foundation Establishment Realm and entered the False Core stage. I want two Tianli Pills."

"Tianli Pills..."

Progenitor Lan Ruo subconsciously looked at Liu Mei and A-Dai. After sensing that both had indeed reached the False Core stage, she nodded slightly.

"No problem. Our sect has some Tianli Pills, but they are all incomplete pills. After all, once a Tianli Pill is successfully refined, it must be taken within half an hour, or its effects will be greatly diminished."

Luo Chuan did not object, for the original novel had described Tianli Pills.

Although they could greatly increase a cultivator's chances of reaching the Golden Core Realm, they had to be consumed as soon as possible after being refined. Thus, throughout Vermilion Bird Planet, few people could casually produce finished Tianli Pills.
