Chapter 1553: Chapter 1573: There Must Be Something Fishy Going on Here, Right?_1

North Profound Sect?

Solitude?

Curious light flickered in Lin Chen’s eyes. Did Elder Brother Gu actually have a connection with the North Profound Sect?

The North Profound Sect Master, Dugu Poyun and his son, Dugu Si were among the ’Three Thunder Heroes’ and were hailed as once-in-ten-thousand-years prodigies. Yao Xuanji was their childhood friend. It was expected that Dugu Si and Yao Xuanji would end up together, but Weijiao suddenly got involved which changed everything.

Yao Xuanji was dismembered and repressed in the Barren Wilderness. Weijiao used all means to be with Dugu Si in the end and even bore him a child.

However, now that Yao Xuanji had returned, Weijiao took the lead and defected from the North Profound Sect with her people. Dugu Poyun and Dugu Si went to the Immortal Palace to apologize and just like that, the matter was put to rest.

Lin Chen, driven by curiosity asked, "Elder Brother Gu, your old acquaintance has the surname Dugu, what is his relationship with Sect Master Dugu Poyun?"

Gu Gongyou sighed, "She is Dugu Poyun’s niece, however, her father died in battle when she was a child. Dugu Poyun raised her like her own."

Lin Chen, puzzled, asked, "So, is she Dugu Si’s cousin or younger cousin?"

"Younger cousin."

Lin Chen didn’t probe any further and instead asked, "Elder Brother, is there any item or message that you would like me to deliver?"

Gu Gongyou handed over an Image Recording Stone, "Just take this to her."

"Alright!"

Lin Chen chose not to gossip about their relationship and safely kept the Image Recording Stone, "If I do visit the Heavenly Mystery Continent, I will definitely deliver it."

Gu Gongyou nodded, "As long as it is convenient, it’s just a catch-up between old friends, it’s not a very important matter."

Catching up?

Why not go directly then?

Was there something hidden in all this?

"Since there is no more business, I will take my leave."

"Junior Brother, take care."

After leaving Gu Gongyou’s cave mansion, Meng Gongxin was excited, "Martial Uncle Gu has broken through to the mid-Heavenly Immortal Stage, it’s a great joy for our entire sect. Junior Brother, you’ve been a great help again!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It was just a small effort."

Meng Gongxin admired, "Junior Martial Uncle is a genius by nature, it’s our White Crane Immortal Sect’s great fortune!"

Lin Chen asked while laughing, "Does the Sect need any medicinal pills to be refined? I could stick around for a while because it might be years before I can come back after I leave this time..."

Meng Gongxin’s eyes lit up: "The Sect does indeed need a batch of high-grade elixirs, but there are only a few people on the entire continent who can successfully refine them. Therefore, we prepared the materials long ago but have been putting it off till now. If Junior Martial Uncle is willing to help, that would be great!"

Lin Chen nonchalantly replied, "Prepare the materials and tell me what pills need to be refined, exclude the low-end ones."

Meng Gongxin continued nodding, "Surely, those that can be bought in the market or can be outsourced, we surely would not bother Junior Martial Uncle for."

Lin Chen stayed back for another month and helped in refining a batch of high-grade elixirs needed by the Sect.

By this time, Lin Chen’s feat of killing a Celestial Immortal was known throughout the Sect. All White Crane Sect disciples not only held respect, but also fanatical admiration for Lin Chen.

Heaven’s Sword Successor, Pill King, killing a Celestial Immortal...

Lin Chen’s reputation had unknowingly reached sky-high in the White Crane Immortal Sect, even surpassing the Sect Master’s.

After helping the Sect with refining the elixirs, Lin Chen set out on his journey with Little Gold.

Lin Chen did not use the flying boat, instead, he sat cross-legged on Little Gold’s back, appearing as a streak of golden light soaring through the open sky.

On the way, Little Gold hunted countless demonic beasts for food, amongst which were beings with strength comparable to that of a Human Immortal and Earth Immortal.

Whenever Little Gold met an opponent it could not handle, Lin Chen would help.

Lin Chen was at the early Earth Immortal Stage, with Heavenly Sword Five Moves along with the Eight-Armed Arhat Mirage. Even a True Immortal could not be his match, let alone a beast of Earth Immortal Level Strength.

The kills were effortless!

Little Gold, all along the way, ate very happily and was becoming increasingly obedient and docile towards Lin Chen.

Perhaps because Little Gold had devoured the blood and flesh from a Flame Dragon Ghost Bat, which had the bloodline of dragons when it was younger, it grew up quite solidly and rapidly.

By the time Lin Chen arrived at the Domain Gate with Little Gold, Little Gold’s size had already increased by quite a bit, its strength had also greatly improved, comparable to the late Earth Immortal stage.

As expected of a top-grade demonic beast, its growth in strength was indeed quite rapid!

After paying a hefty sum of Immortal Spirit Stones as fees, Lin Chen and Little Gold passed through the gates and arrived at the God Fire Continent.

"Golden Winged Roc!"

"Who is this person? He actually tamed a Golden Winged Roc. Amazing."

"This Golden Winged Roc doesn’t seem to have completely matured yet, but its size is already quite large. It must be quite formidable."

As soon as Lin Chen stepped out of the Domain Gate, he could hear the cultivators guarding the gate chattering.

"Who goes there?"

Lin Chen took out his token from the White Crane Immortal Sect, "White Crane Immortal Sect, Lin Chen."

The people simply checked Lin Chen’s token and then returned it to him.

"Ten thousand Immortal Spirit Stones, the transit fee."

That’s not cheap!

Lin Chen muttered to himself, but he didn’t hesitate and paid without any protest.

Maintaining the Domain Gate required a large amount of Immortal Spirit Stones, so no matter who passed through it, they would have to pay a fee. The verification of identity tokens was done as a simple check.

The entire Immortal Realm had a list called the Notorious People List - those who were listed were usually powerful evildoers. They often brought disaster wherever they went, hence the Domain Gate guards would inspect the incoming and outgoing guests.
