Chapter 1750: Chapter 899_4

Han Ronglu isn’t without his own background; his sister is Han Zhiling, the third-generation eldest disciple of the Xiao Nanshan branch of the Five Elements Sect, a background that reaches the heavens.

However, he’s proud and doesn’t want people to know about his relationship with Han Zhiling. So he joined the Five Elements Sect through the Northern Abyss City Cave Mansion left by his father Han Tingfeng, entered the Scholarly Mansion of Longevity, and devotedly practiced, inheriting the family tradition of cultivating alchemy. Now he’s achieved some success.

Han Ronglu is now a member of the Alchemy Department, his cultivation level has reached Qi Cultivation Perfection, and due to his impressive alchemy skills, he was selected by Yan Jinye to attend Qing Nu’s lectures at Mount Tianpeng.

This time, when the Wanhua Immortal City organized large-scale elixir refining, Han Ronglu was originally selected too, but he declined because he broke through to the Qi Cultivation Perfection realm.

Breaking through to Foundation Establishment is definitely more important.

When Han Ronglu first entered the sect, because Han Zhiling had made introductions for him in many departments, the people at the top were generally aware of his identity, but Han Ronglu could always see the confusion in their eyes.

Because compared to Han Zhiling, as an eldest third-generation disciple, Han Ronglu’s cultivation talent seemed rather ordinary.

After the news spread that he was Han Zhiling’s brother, there were even people mocking him behind his back, speculating that he and Han Zhiling might have the same father but different mothers.

This incident was something Han Ronglu always remembered, which is why he started to resent his identity as Han Zhiling’s brother.

Because Han Ronglu entered through a Rank-3 Cave Mansion quota, after reaching Qi Cultivation Perfection, he was eligible to receive a Foundation Building Pill free of charge.

However, because Yan Jinye has been busy in Wanhua Immortal City, adjusting various medicine pools with Qing Nu, the process has been delayed a bit, and during this waiting period, Han Ronglu received this small task.

It was said that in the Great Zhao Dynasty, there was a prince who acquired an ancient pill recipe and wanted to present it to the Immortal Sect.

This task was eventually passed on several times before it landed in Han Ronglu’s hands.

Actually, Han Ronglu already had a Foundation Building Pill given to him by Han Zhiling. He really didn’t want to use it, but he couldn’t bear not to in the end.

After all, it’s a Foundation Building Pill, and there’s no need to make things difficult for himself.

As an alchemist, Han Ronglu knows that the effects of the same elixir can be cumulative. Although the second pill’s effect is only half of the first one. If he uses two Foundation Building Pills, then the success of the Foundation Establishment is guaranteed.

So even though he reached Qi Cultivation Perfection and had a Foundation Building Pill from Han Zhiling, Han Ronglu was still waiting for his own.

After arriving in Zheng City, he didn’t waste any time and went directly to the prince’s mansion.

“Greetings, Immortal. This is a soldier under my command who discovered something in a cave while on an exercise in the deep mountains…”

Speaking was Zhao Gui, the third son of King Zhao. With a handsome appearance and warm eyes, he wore a luxurious black robe, holding a jade slip that looked very ancient, with signs of age, as if it had been clawed by a beast.

Seeing this, Han Ronglu’s previously indifferent attitude quickly disappeared.

During his time at the Scholarly Mansion of Longevity, he learned that it was only after Sect Master Chen of this generation took charge that the Eastern Wilderness began to vigorously promote jade slips.

Before Sect Master Chen, cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness typically passed down knowledge using paper or wooden slips, which were not easy to preserve over time without damage.

When something was recorded on a jade slip at that time, it must have been considered extremely valuable by the immortal cultivator.

Han Ronglu’s expression turned solemn as he extended both hands to receive the jade slip, first examining its exterior.

After thoroughly inspecting it, he took a deep breath and released his divine sense to examine the pinhole-sized characters on the slip.

As he viewed it, he couldn’t help but be slightly amazed.

This turned out to be a pill recipe that utilized the Qi of the Dragon Vein.

Fortunately, while in the Scholarly Mansion of Longevity, he had endured the burden of being known as Han Zhiling’s brother, which motivated him to study diligently. He had heard a teacher mention the Qi of the Dragon Vein in a class on Earth Master techniques.

But he had never heard of it being used in alchemy before?

Han Ronglu attributed this to his own lack of knowledge. After reading it, he bowed to Zhao Gui, who in turn returned a grand gesture, expressing his humility.

“The elixir recipe recorded on this jade slip was indeed left by an immortal cultivator, but I need to return to the sect to have the elders verify its authenticity. Where is that cave located?”

Han Ronglu thought that, given the discovery of this jade slip, there must be more than just this item there.

“Naturally, I remember. I have already ordered my soldiers to seal off that mountain. If you wish to go, Immortal, I will take you there immediately.”

Hearing this, Han Ronglu nodded slightly, perceiving Zhao Gui as a person of decent conduct.

However, when he followed Zhao Gui away from Zheng City to the location of the cave, he found that it had already been occupied by someone else.

Zhao Gui’s forces had been driven out.

“I apologize, Immortal; those are my father’s Black Dragon Guards!”

Seeing the troops blocking the mountain, Zhao Gui’s expression changed slightly, and he smiled bitterly apologizing to Han Ronglu. Upon hearing this, the latter snorted coldly, marching straight toward the hundreds of soldiers clad in black armor, riding black horses.

“Immortal, Immortal…”

Zhao Gui, observing this scene, was drenched in sweat with anxiety and reached out to stop him, but as soon as he touched Han Ronglu, he collapsed as if struck by lightning.

“I am Han Ronglu of the Five Elements Sect Alchemy Department. What lies here pertains to immortal cultivators, and you mortals cannot handle it. I’ll count to three; you must all back away immediately. If any consequences arise, don’t blame me!”

With a cold smile, Han Ronglu raised a flying sword, holding a defensive talisman in his hand, speaking as he charged ahead without pause.

The leader of the Black Dragon Guard hesitated, but seeing Han Ronglu approaching ever closer, he raised his spear and signaled to the soldiers beside him.

Then came the sounds of horses moving, as hundreds of soldiers parted neatly to make way for Han Ronglu.

This scene made Zhao Gui breathe a sigh of relief, and Han Ronglu also nodded in satisfaction.

As expected, here in the Eastern Wilderness, their Five Elements Sect reigned supreme!

But just as he stepped into the mountain range, suddenly a golden light flared up, and the terrifying power compelled Han Ronglu to display an expression of fear.

In that instant, as he stepped into the mountain range, suddenly a golden light flared up, and the terrifying power engendered an expression of fear on Han Ronglu’s face.

In that instant, as he stepped into the mountain range, suddenly a golden light flared up, and the terrifying power incited fear on Han Ronglu’s face.

In that instant

After handling these matters, Chen Mobai said something to Qing Nu and then returned to the Immortal Gate.

And Qing Nu
