Chapter 610 - 428: Primordial Golden Pill, Return to the Sect, Another Foray on Heaven-Reaching Peak (Part 2)

But getting Myriad Year Flood Dragon Blood is even harder.

A Demon Beast has to cultivate for a thousand years just to evolve into a Spirit Beast, which is already incredibly powerful, let alone a Myriad Year Flood Dragon.

That thing probably has the strength of an Immortal Beast.

How could any average cultivator hurt it and get its blood?

Looks like refining this pill isn’t going to be easy.

Refining this pill will have to wait.

The next day.

Once Lin Chang’sheng and Yan Zhen finished packing, they set off toward the Immortal Palace.

Yan Zhen insisted on escorting Lin Chang’sheng to the Immortal Palace before she could leave with peace of mind.

The Immortal Palace was more than a hundred thousand miles away from here.

But with Lin Chang’sheng and Yan Zhen’s insane speed, it only took a few short days to reach it.

Three days later, the Immortal Palace was already within sight.

Lin Chang’sheng and Yan Zhen hadn’t run into any trouble on their way.

Looking back at this mission, Lin Chang’sheng still found it a little unbelievable—just how much trouble they ended up running into.

Looks like next time, he’d better be careful before heading out.

If he hadn’t run into Yan Zhen this time, he’d probably be dead out there.

"Sister Zhen, thank you so much for all your help. If you ever need anything, just say the word!"

Lin Chang’sheng said gratefully.

"Why are you being polite with me?"

Yan Zhen laughed, feeling satisfied just seeing Lin Chang’sheng safe and sound.

In the Immortal Realm, Yan Zhen only had Lin Chang’sheng as family, so of course she didn’t want anything to happen to him.

When Sister Zhen said that, Lin Chang’sheng just gave a silly grin and scratched his head.

"But when you reach the Mahayana Stage and can handle yourself, I hope you’ll come see me in the Ice and Snow Province. There’s something important I want to tell you!"

Yan Zhen said slowly.

She didn’t really want Lin Chang’sheng to get involved, but maybe this was a huge opportunity.

"Ice and Snow Province?"

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself, "Alright. As soon as I break through to the Mahayana Stage, I’ll find you for sure!"

Lin Chang’sheng agreed without hesitation.

"Cool! Then I’ll head back first!"

Yan Zhen waved and turned to leave.

"Take care, Sister Zhen!"

Lin Chang’sheng watched Yan Zhen’s fading silhouette, feeling reluctant to part.

Maybe it was only with Yan Zhen that Lin Chang’sheng felt that long-lost sense of family.

Not until Yan Zhen vanished at the horizon did Lin Chang’sheng finally turn back around.

"First, turn in the mission, then challenge Heaven-Reaching Peak!"

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself, his plans already forming.

This mission would net him 200 experience points. Even split with Hou Shaojie and the rest, it was more than enough to exchange for some cultivation resources at the Immortal Palace.

Lin Chang’sheng now had Middle Stage Integration Cultivation, fighting those at Late Stage Integration was no big deal.

The number one spot at Heaven-Reaching Peak—it was time for it to be his.

"Wait, isn’t that Lin Chang’sheng? He’s actually back? So he really finished the mission?"

"Yeah! If I’m remembering right, he picked the mission to wipe out those bandits at Qingfeng Cliff; don’t tell me even those Integration Stage bandits couldn’t handle him?"

"Very likely, otherwise how could he make it back to the sect in one piece!"

"Worthy of being the Celestial Pride List’s number one prodigy—his strength is terrifying!"

...

Just as Lin Chang’sheng walked up to the mission hall, a bunch of disciples who knew him started chatting, full of envy.

Of course, there were some jealous ones mixed in too.

One disciple, who usually hung around Shen Yu, darted off as soon as he saw Lin Chang’sheng return.

Looked like he was planning to report Lin Chang’sheng’s return to Shen Yu right away, to help him prepare.

"Elder, I’m turning in my mission!"

Lin Chang’sheng pulled out the assignment sheet, which had a blood contract attached—proof the mission was done.

"Well done! The younger generation is scary!"

The elder was genuinely surprised Lin Chang’sheng could finish such a risky mission. He immediately logged the experience points under Lin Chang’sheng, Hou Shaojie, and Zhao Shuang’Er’s disciple tokens.

With experience points, they could exchange for whatever they needed—Immortal Crystals, weapons, Immortal Techniques, you name it.

"Thank you, Elder!"

Lin Chang’sheng said politely. Then he left, heading toward Heaven-Reaching Peak.

As soon as Lin Chang’sheng arrived at Heaven-Reaching Peak, he saw Zhang Shisong, Hou Shaojie, and Zhao Shuang’Er.

"Boss, I knew you’d be fine!"

Hou Shaojie was ridiculously excited to see Lin Chang’sheng back safe.

Ever since he took the Divine Healing Pill that Lin Chang’sheng gave him, he’d broken through to Late Stage Void Refining. Won’t be long before he reaches the Integration Stage!

For Lin Chang’sheng to be able to refine such a powerful pill at his age—his potential was off the charts.

That just made Hou Shaojie even more determined to stick with Lin Chang’sheng.

Follow the boss and you’ll never lose out!

"Brother Chang’sheng, you’re okay, right?"

Zhao Shuang’Er rushed up to check on Lin Chang’sheng. Once she saw he wasn’t hurt, she finally relaxed.

"Relax, a couple Mahayana Cultivators couldn’t do anything to me!"

Lin Chang’sheng brushed it off.

But when Zhang Shisong heard that, it blew his mind!

Mahayana Stage experts, and Lin Chang’sheng talks about them like they’re nothing?

"Wait, you—you got chased by Mahayana Stage experts? And made it back alive?"

Zhang Shisong stared at Lin Chang’sheng in shock.

What kind of monster was Lin Chang’sheng? Just outrageous.

If he got chased by Mahayana Stage cultivators, Zhang Shisong wouldn’t survive for a second. Heck, even Integration Stage would be fatal.

"Actually, there were some Tribulation Crossing Stage experts too! Lucky for me, I’m hard to kill."

Lin Chang’sheng laughed.

If Yan Zhen hadn’t shown up in time, Lin Chang’sheng probably wouldn’t have made it.

"Damn, that’s nuts! You actually survived a Tribulation Crossing expert?"

Zhang Shisong couldn’t stop staring wide-eyed.

A Mahayana expert could snuff him out with a flick of their finger—never mind Tribulation Crossing!

"Just got lucky. Anyway, anything big happen at the Immortal Palace lately?"

Lin Chang’sheng asked casually.

But hearing that, Zhang Shisong suddenly remembered something.

"These past few days, Elder Liu has been asking if you’re back yet. As for why he wants you, no idea. If you have time, you could go ask him! Maybe he’s impressed with your talent and wants to reward you with some treasures!"

Zhang Shisong said with a grin.

"Oh?"

Lin Chang’sheng was a bit surprised.

But he didn’t believe Liu Feng would actually hand out treasures to him.

If he really wanted to give him treasures, he’d have done it the day Lin Chang’sheng joined the sect.

Lin Chang’sheng didn’t expect anything from them.

He just hoped to raise his cultivation quickly, and head to the Loose Immortal Cave Mansion once he hit the Mahayana Stage, like Sword Elder said.

There’d definitely be tons of treasures in there.

"Alright, got it. But even if I go, I gotta win first place at Heaven-Reaching Peak before I do!"

Lin Chang’sheng replied.

"Boss, you’re heading to Heaven-Reaching Peak again?"

Hou Shaojie was kind of shocked.

It hadn’t been long since Lin Chang’sheng’s last challenge, and now he was ready for another round?

"First place? Did I hear that right—you’re going for first place at Heaven-Reaching Peak?"

Zhang Shisong was beside himself.

Nobody had ever done that before.

But given Lin Chang’sheng’s power, it didn’t seem totally impossible.

The last time he challenged Heaven-Reaching Peak, he’d shot up to the 16th spot.

And after this journey, his cultivation had improved a lot.

"Last time I got to 16th. Can I challenge straight to 15th now?"

Lin Chang’sheng asked.

Zhang Shisong thought about it. No one had dared challenge Lin Chang’sheng recently, so he was still ranked 16th at Heaven-Reaching Peak. Moving on to challenge was no problem.

"Of course!"

Zhang Shisong answered.

Hearing that, the edge of Lin Chang’sheng’s mouth curled into a small smile.

"Glad to hear it!"

With that, Lin Chang’sheng went straight to the 15th cave mansion.

Lin Chang’sheng clearly remembered—the disciple at the 15th cave was a female named Gao Yumin, Late Stage Integration Cultivation.

Last time, he’d accidentally seen her bathing, so she definitely wouldn’t show him any mercy.

But the Lin Chang’sheng of today was a different beast; he was totally confident he could take her down.

Soon, Lin Chang’sheng arrived at Gao Yumin’s cave.

"Senior Sister, Lin Chang’sheng is here to receive your guidance!"

Lin Chang’sheng announced, straight to the point.

"Lin Chang’sheng?"

Inside the cave, Gao Yumin’s anger flared the instant she heard his name.

This damned lech had the nerve to come looking for a fight?

She’d never even settled the score over him peeping on her before.

If he hadn’t run away so fast last time, she’d have broken his legs for sure.

This time, there was no way she’d let him off easy—if he walked away with half his life, he should count himself lucky.
