Even a level-nine False Immortal could raise his cultivation to the Golden Immortal realm as long as he had enough potential. It could be said that the elixir could also test a cultivator's potential to a certain extent.
The one hundred disciples were no longer as resistant as before. After all, they had been poisoned and had no way to resist.
Now, they knew that the poison could save their master once and that the elixir could raise their cultivation. This was something they had never encountered before. Danger came with challenges and opportunities.
After all, if they could touch the threshold of the Golden Immortal realm with the help of the elixir, it would be very helpful for them to ascend to the Golden Immortal realm in the future. Moreover, the biggest hidden benefit of the elixir was that the poison could save their master.
"Sir, how many members are there in the secret base of the Han Yan Chamber of Commerce? And what are their cultivations?"
Luo Ping asked.
Luo Ping had experienced too many things. Naturally, his temperament was incomparable to that of ordinary people. While he was relaxed, he did not forget to consider the enemy's situation.
Upon hearing Luo Ping's question, many disciples turned to the elder of the Kong Family, their expressions changing. They wanted to know the situation of the secret base of the Han Yan Chamber of Commerce.
The elder of the Kong Family looked at Luo Ping and said, "That's a good question. According to the secret investigations of the various first-grade families, the situation of the members in the secret base of the Han Yan Chamber of Commerce is basically the same.
"There are about a hundred people in the secret base. As for their cultivation … the highest is a level-five Golden Immortal. After your cultivation improves, you'll be able to deal with them with your combat strength.
"Of course, there's a Peerless Immortal expert among them. You don't have to worry about that. We'll send the corresponding Peerless Immortals to deal with them. We can only send one Peerless Immortal because we'll open a spatial tunnel to send you directly to the secret base."
The elder of the Kong Family answered Luo Ping's question without hesitation.
Hearing this, the disciples were relieved. If there were too many experts in the secret base, they would not be able to resist them.
However, many disciples heard something strange in the elder's tone. They felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
However, since the Kong Family Elder was intentionally hiding the truth, they wouldn't be able to get an answer even if they continued to ask. Therefore, they could only be careful when the time came.
"Alright, if you don't have any other questions, you can go back. Remember, don't reveal anything about this mission. Otherwise, all of you will die."
The elder from the Kong Family reminded everyone.
"Understood."
After replying, the disciples left the courtyard under the guidance of the Kong Family's servants. Very soon, only three disciples remained out of the hundred.
Kong Haotian was originally a member of the Kong Family, so he naturally didn't need to leave. However, the Kong Family Patriarch and Elders were puzzled by the fact that Luo Ping and Jin Nan were staying behind.
"What else do you two want?"
Kong Yin, the head of the Kong Family, asked Luo Ping and Jin Nan.
"Senior, it's like this. We are worried that the Wuxu Sword Sect will harm our sect, so we would like to ask Senior to protect our sect."
Luo Ping explained the reason why the two of them had stayed behind.
Before coming to the Kong Family to receive their reward, Luo Ping had received a message from Xue Linglong, asking him to step forward and ask the Kong Family to take care of the Linglong Divine Sect.
After all, the Wuxu Sword Sect was a first-grade immortal sect. Even if they didn't act openly, a sneak attack would be enough to severely injure the people of the Linglong Divine Sect.
In order to ensure the safety of the sect's experts and disciples, Xue Linglong finally accepted the Head's suggestion and asked Luo Ping to step forward and use his relationship with Kong Haotian to ask the Kong Family for help.
Hearing this, the Kong Family Patriarch didn't reply. Instead, he directly left the courtyard. Seeing this, the other Elders also left one after another. Only Luo Ping, Jin Nan, and Kong Haotian remained.
"Brother Luo, let's go. I have already told the Family Patriarch about what you said. Don't worry, the Wuxu Sword Sect definitely won't dare to sneak attack the Linglong Divine Sect."
Kong Haotian said to Luo Ping. After speaking, he directly pulled Luo Ping and Jin Nan out of the courtyard.
Although Luo Ping and Jin Nan were somewhat puzzled, they still followed Kong Haotian and left.
… …
Outside the city tower of Yongming City, on the Linglong Divine Sect's immortal ship, there was an additional figure besides the people of the Linglong Divine Sect. It was Kong Haotian.
"Senior Xue, let's set off."
Kong Haotian said to Xue Linglong.
"Alright, this time I will have to trouble Martial Nephew Haotian."
Xue Linglong said with a smile.
"Senior Xue is too polite. Brother Luo and I are old friends. Naturally, I won't let your sect be in danger."
Kong Haotian said.
"Martial Nephew Haotian is indeed righteous. Since that's the case, I won't be unreasonable and will set off immediately."
Xue Linglong didn't say anything more and directly gave the order to set off. Hence, the elders of the Linglong Divine Sect directly controlled the immortal ship to fly and leave Yongming City. After they left, many other immortal ships also followed closely behind, forming a long line behind the Linglong Divine Sect.
Not far away, on the Wuxu Sword Sect's immortal ship, everyone looked at the departing Linglong Divine Sect's immortal ship with anger and depression.
"Damn it, the Linglong Divine Sect is indeed sinister. They actually persuaded the Kong Family to protect them. Now, we won't have any chance to touch them."
An elder of the Wuxu Sword Sect said angrily.
"The Kong Family has already announced that they will send their outstanding disciple Kong Haotian to the Linglong Divine Sect to train and learn. They will also ask the immortal sects along the way to protect him. Now, there are so many immortal sects following behind the Linglong Divine Sect's immortal ship. How are we going to attack?"
Another elder said angrily.
"There's no need to say more. Let's return to the sect."
The sect master of the Wuxu Sword Sect said. His voice was filled with unquestionable toughness. The other elders didn't dare to say anything more. They immediately started the immortal ship and left.
Although those elders didn't speak anymore, their faces were still filled with anger. Especially Jian Hong, who looked at the direction where the Linglong Divine Sect left with a vicious gaze. His eyes were filled with boundless killing intent.
As for Duanmu Yun, after his defeat, he stayed in the immortal ship and didn't show his face.
… …..
Near the Linglong Immortal Mountain, the Linglong Divine Sect's immortal ship stopped. Everyone left the immortal ship. Some flew back to their sects, while others flew out.
"Are you all planning to go back and cultivate?"
Nangong Xiaodie asked them.
"Yes, our cultivation is still too low. We have to seize the time to cultivate."
Jiao Qingyun said.
"I have to raise my cultivation as soon as possible and return to Jin City to take back the position of the city lord that originally belonged to me."
Jin Nan said.
The others also spoke one after another, planning to return to their sects to cultivate.
"Brother Kong and I have something to do. We need to go out for a while."
Luo Ping said.
Although the others found it strange, they didn't ask too much. After all, this was Luo Ping's private matter. It wasn't appropriate for them to ask too much.
"I hope Brother Luo will be careful. After all, you've offended quite a number of enemies."
Jin Nan said.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful."
After Luo Ping said that, he left the Linglong Immortal Mountain with Kong Haotian and flew far away. As for Jin Nan and the others, they returned to their sects to cultivate.
In Nangong City, Luo Ping and Kong Haotian's figures appeared on a street. They walked straight to a teleportation point.
After the two of them quickly paid the required amount of Immortal Soul Stones, they took the teleportation point and left Nangong City without attracting any attention.
… …
"Is this the Border City where the Bai Clan is located? It does look like a foreign clan. "
Luo Ping said as he glanced at the people in strange outfits and the strange-looking buildings.
Meanwhile, Luo Ping and Kong Haotian were walking on an unfamiliar street. The buildings on both sides of the street were like steamed buns, forming a semicircle. Apart from the entrance, there were no edges or corners.
"Of course. After all, not only is the Bai Clan one of the top ten first-grade clans, it's also a foreign clan."
"The core members of the Bai Clan are all pure-blooded members of the Border Clan. As for the rest of the clan, although their bloodline is thin, they still possess varying degrees of the Border Clan's bloodline."
"In other words, many people with the surname Bai in the low-level worlds possess the bloodline of the Border Clan. Once these people learn the Art of Venomous Insects or Poison Arts, their cultivation speed is extremely fast."
"The Bai Clan is relying on the Art of Venomous Insects and Poison Arts to remain among the top ten first-grade clans. Besides, it's an old first-grade clan with an unshakeable foundation."
Kong Haotian told Luo Ping everything he knew about the Bai Clan.
Hearing this, Luo Ping had a further understanding of the Bai Clan. He was very surprised.
Although he already had an understanding of the Bai Clan and knew that the Bai Clan was a foreign clan, he didn't expect that many people with the surname Bai in the low-level worlds would possess the bloodline of the Border Clan.
After hearing Kong Haotian's words, Luo Ping suddenly thought of Bai Yiyi in the Mortal Domain. Although Bai Yiyi might have already returned to the dust, they had gone through thick and thin together.
At that time, Bai Yiyi was an expert in the Art of Venomous Insects. At a young age, she already possessed brilliant poison control methods. Now that Luo Ping thought about it, the other party must possess the bloodline of the Border Clan.
"It seems that the Bai Clan is indeed not simple, especially their Art of Venomous Insects and Poison Arts. Those are methods that are impossible to guard against."
Luo Ping said with a sigh.
"Indeed, even in the same realm, it is very difficult for other cultivators to guard against and resist the Art of Venomous Insects and Poison Arts of the Bai Clan. If they are careless, they may be hit by the Art of Venomous Insects and Poison Arts."
"However, everything has Yin and Yang. Everything has its own counter. Although the Art of Venomous Insects and Poison Arts of the Bai Clan are very strange and terrifying, there is another first-grade clan that can restrain them. That is the Lu Clan, one of the top ten first-grade clans."
"The Lu Clan is proficient in the Art of Medicine. Their attainments in the Art of Medicine can be said to be at the peak of perfection. Basically, all kinds of Art of Venomous Insects and Poison Arts can be cured by the experts of the Lu Clan."
"It is also because of this that the Lu Clan has very good connections. Whether it is a clan or an Immortal Sect, no one is willing to offend the Lu Clan easily. After all, there will always be a time when they need help."
Kong Haotian said again.
