Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 287 - 175: Vigilance

"Could it be that there’s some turmoil in the cultivation realm of the Qian Country lately?" Qi Chuan thought to himself.

During the few days since the opening of Natural Residence, aside from reading and comprehending the refinement method for the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi, he certainly hadn’t forgotten his purpose of setting up shop in this Xiaoxia Restaurant, which was to gather information.

Through occasional casual chats with customers over these few days, Qi Chuan had already grasped the layout of the cultivation realm in Qian Country.

He was aware of the saying that Qian Country has a royal family and three sects.

The royal family Liu of Qian Country, although possessing two Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators, could be considered the foremost power in Qian Country.

However, in Qi Chuan’s view, aside from wielding tremendous power over a mortal world nation, Liu Family essentially wasn’t much different from the cultivation clans under the Wind Moon Sect.

Merely possessing two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, making them somewhat stronger than other cultivation clans.

But Qi Chuan had also encountered the Ye Family, which had three Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and he participated in their downfall during the Qi Refining Stage, so regarding Liu Family, Qi Chuan thought nothing of it.

As for the three sects, they were the Luoxia Sect, Fiery Sun Sect, and Golden Light Sect, these three Foundation Establishment Sects were indeed on par with each other, each having only one Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.

Although Qi Chuan thought the cultivation realm in Qian Country was not impressive, he did not underestimate the chaos here.

The power struggle between the royal family and the sects, the overt and covert conflicts among the three sects, and even the numerous smaller forces and loose cultivator organizations below the three sects, made it likely for anything to happen.

According to Qi Chuan’s intuition, a sudden doubling of people in a place like Xiaoxia Restaurant might be due to a conflict involving Luoxia Sect and the other two sects in Qian Country, or perhaps something significant occurring inside or outside Qian Country, prompting the entire Luoxia Sect to react and take certain measures.

It’s mostly heading towards a major sect conflict, which is most likely.

"If that’s the case, should I also make some preparations?" Qi Chuan thought to himself.

After all, if something similar to a sect war were to occur, this Xiaoxia Restaurant would inevitably be affected, thereby impacting Natural Residence and his daily life.

"However, no matter what, at most it would be nothing more than a few intense magical combat encounters among Foundation Establishment Cultivators, even if it happens at Xiaoxia Restaurant, it poses no danger to me at all, so there’s no immediate need for any response. Let’s see what kind of waves the cultivation realm of Qian Country stirs up first," he thought.

Ultimately, Qi Chuan shook his head and decided not to overreact, choosing instead to wait and see how things unfolded.

Three days later.

On this morning, inside the shop of Natural Residence, cultivator customers were whispering amongst themselves, some even using secret transmission.

"Have you heard? Luoxia Sect has been making big moves recently!"

"Of course! Isn’t it obvious? Six or seven days ago, the entire Luoxia Sect mobilized, conducting patrols and arrangements both inside and outside the sect. It’s just that nobody knows what exactly happened that’s causing all this tension."

"This time it’s different. Luoxia Sect has officially announced that within a month, the True Inheritance from Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect will descend at Luoxia Sect. The activities of Luoxia Sect in the past six or seven days have merely been in preparation for this arrival."

"What? Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect? You mean that legendary colossal force? The True Inheritance is coming to Luoxia Sect? How is that possible?!"

"..."

Behind the counter, sitting in a chair, Qi Chuan couldn’t help but lift his gaze from the booklet in his hands to glance at the customers in front of the talisman and pill shelves.

Regardless of whether they whispered or used secret transmissions, there was no way for their conversations to escape Qi Chuan’s ears.

And upon hearing these pieces of news, surprise flickered in Qi Chuan’s eyes.

"So the recent developments are not due to some potential sect conflict or war, but are instead related to the True Inheritance of Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect coming to Luoxia Sect?"

Initially, Qi Chuan didn’t believe it.

After all, he was aware that Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect was one of the three Nascent Soul Major Sects in Beihua State, a peer to the sole Nascent Soul Major Sect in Nanhua State, North Magnetic Divine Palace.

Even when Qi Chuan was in Wind Moon Sect, the branch North Magnetic Mountain of North Magnetic Divine Palace within the Land of the Five Sects was already considered mysterious and not something to provoke lightly.

Wind Moon Sect was a Core Formation influence, and yet they were cautious of a branch of a Nascent Soul Major Sect.

But Luoxia Sect?

It was merely a Foundation Establishment Sect, with only one Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator, so how could it be related to one of the three Nascent Soul Major Sects in Beihua State, Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect?

"There must be something unusual about this!" he pondered, and a sense of caution arose within him.

Because honestly speaking, if only entangling the cultivation realm of Qian Country, no matter how chaotic, if the royal family Liu and the three major sects were to go to war simultaneously, dragging the entire Qian Country into upheaval, it wouldn’t trouble Qi Chuan.

For his magical combat power was equivalent to Foundation Establishment Perfection.

With such strength, he could easily sweep across the entire Qian Country, so there was no need to be overly cautious.

But now things were different.

Involving Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect could not be a trifling matter.

Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, being a Nascent Soul Major Sect, would certainly house multiple Core Formation practitioners, and it wouldn’t lack cultivators with Foundation Establishment Perfection or those whose magical combat prowess equaled that level.

To Qi Chuan, the mere name of Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect posed a potential threat.
