Chapter 462: Chapter 201: A lone sail in the distance, Lan
Cang rushes on (Request for a monthly ticket)_2
Luo Chen looked at Qin Liangchen, with faintly grey temples, and had a bad feeling in his heart.
When Luo Chen first met Qin Liangchen, the latter was in the prime of his life, just forty-nine years old.
This, Luo Chen was quite sure of.
To determine the cultivation speed of various Spirit Roots, Luo Chen had asked Qin Liangchen for advice on this matter many times.
Counting the years, Qin Liangchen should be fifty-seven now!
He only has three years left till the best stage for Foundation Establishment at sixty.
Yet, he is still a little away from Qi Refinement Stage Finalization.
The irony is that his relatively younger wife, Murong Qinglian, is rising to the top and is about to reach the Qi Refinement Stage Finalization.
At this rate…
Qin Liangchen is bound to miss the best timing for his breakthrough.
While Luo Chen was deep in thought, Qin Liangchen’s sentimental voice rang in his ear.
“Don’t worry about me.”
“As I age, I have already grown indifferent to these things.”
“Now, I am healthy and well, which is much better than before. My only wish is to see Xiao Hu, that’s it.”
“The Luo Yun Sect and the Yu Ding Sword Sect have gone to war, I wonder how he is doing in there.”
Qin Liangchen gave Luo Chen a carefree smile, then flew up to the Sky Hawk Flying Boat with the Wind Riding Technique.
Watching his silhouette, Luo Chen felt somewhat heavy-hearted.
Has he really let go?
Perhaps, there is still something he can’t let go of!
Any cultivator, when facing a mere step away from the Foundation Establishment, would always be unwilling to be abruptly interrupted.
He sighed.
Luo Chen felt helpless.
He had already done his best for his friend, Qin Liangchen, even gifting him the precious Foundation Establishment Pill.
He had never shortchanged him in terms of various resources in normal times.
This could be evidenced by the increasingly rapid progress of Murong Qinglian’s cultivation level.
But the thing about cultivation…
It can’t be achieved through the efforts of others.
“Everyone has their own fate!”
By the time Luo Chen uttered his thoughts, the Sky Hawk Flying Boat had already boarded all the passengers.
Over the years, under the strict requirements of Sima Huiniang, Luo Tian Creed had drawn in mostly powerful cultivators with clean backgrounds.
And precisely because of this, the quantity never really increased.
The amount of over three hundred people was insignificant in comparison to the thousand-people capacity of the Sky Hawk Flying Boat.
“Master, time to board!”
On the flying boat, Qu Lingjun waved his hand, excitedly calling him.
Luo Chen smiled helplessly.
Oh, the youth!
Most people are filled with melancholy when they are about to leave their homeland.
Only teenagers like Qu Lingjun are filled with eager anticipation.
“Chairman, time to board!”
“Chairman, please board the ship!”
Perhaps it was the influence of Qu Lingjun, unknowingly, more and more Pill Hall cultivators started to call out to him.
Eventually, many Luo Tian Creed cultivators were standing at the edge of the deck, gazing at him from afar.
“Very well!”
“All right, all right!”
Luo Chen burst into laughter, and a white cloud rose beneath his feet, carrying him onto the Sky Hawk Flying Boat.
As he passed by, all the Luo Tian Creed Cultivators looked up at him reverently.
Upon reaching the third floor of the Flying Boat, Luo Chen gazed down at the beautiful Xiao Huan Mountain.
Farewell!
His gaze drifted and fell towards Crescent Valley.
Goodbye.
In the end, he looked at the eerily yin-energy-filled Ghost City at the Great River District.
Farewell, The Great River District!
“Attention, everyone!”
“Do not move around freely or use any magic when the Flying Boat is taking off…”
“Liftoff!”
With Duan Feng’s steady voice, the Sky Hawk Flying Boat began humming.
A soft blue glow gradually spread, enveloping the entire Flying Boat.
Humm!
Whoosh!
The colossal Flying Boat transformed into a streak of light, swiftly leaving the Great River District.
Lancang Wharf!
The largest water transportation hub in the Great River District.
It has always been controlled by the Great Lake Gang.
Over the years, it has even developed into a bustling Qingjiang Street centered around the wharf.
Unfortunately, Wang Yuan’s battle years ago left the street in a state of despair.
Even after it was rebuilt, it never recovered to its peak popularity.
But today…
Is completely different.
Gu Caiyi, Feng Xia, and Yuan Xiaoyue, among others, were leaning over the railing on the deck, poking their heads out and looking down.
They saw crowds of people and the noise of human voices was so deafening that it virtually reached the sky.
Even within the protection of the Flying Boat’s array, they could still hear the cheering sounds from below.
“Sister Caiyi, there are so many people down there!” Yuan Xiaoyue said excitedly.
Feng Xia also said with surprise, “Even during the most prosperous times in the Great River District, we’ve never seen such a scene!”
Gu Caiyi, being a high-ranking member of the Luo Tian Creed, knew more than they did.
Looking at the bustling scene below, she mused,
“It’s only natural that there are so many people.”
“Our news about the four major forces leaving is known to all. The specific departure time set for today has been discovered by others through various means of inquiry.”
“These people, they must want to go with us!”
Yuan Xiaoyue asked curiously, “Can’t they go on their own?”
“It’s not that simple.”
Gu Caiyi shook her head, “Even though the Great River District is prosperous, it is in a very remote geographical location. The nearest Xuelian District is thousands of miles away.”
“The destination of our journey, Taishan District, is even further!”
“For such a long journey, relying solely on the cultivators themselves to fly would take too much time. The dangers on the way are innumerable.”
Yuan Xiaoyue still doesn’t quite understand.
She was bom and raised in the Great River District, carefully pampered by her father and grandfather since she was young.
Even after her father’s death, Luo Chen took extra care of her.
She simply couldn’t understand the dangers of long journeys.
However, Feng Xia understood her concerns and patiently explained the situation to her on the side.
