Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1616: Chapter 597: Fishing for an Island with a Rod, Shattering the Formation with a Palm

On the desolate and vast island, teams of Qi Refinement Cultivators come and go, carrying out patrol duties.

Suddenly.

In the exact center of the island, a Spirit Light soared skyward.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the patrol team looked up.

”Which Ascendant Master has personally come to the Quyang Defensive Line now?”

”The Beast Tide has calmed down for half a year, with no battles to speak of, why come to this bitter and cold place for no reason?”

At the same time, a Glint flew into the huge pale stone house in the exact center of the island.

Before entering, he instructed the nearby guarding Cultivators.

”Secure the entrance well, do not let irrelevant people inside.”

After the Foundation Establishment True Cultivator below responded, he went straight into the house, watching the Spirit Light of the large Formation Maps inside fading from its peak until calm was restored.

Four figures appeared before his eyes.

At first glance, he looked at the elder in the center.

”So it’s the Fishing Elder, Xiao Buhuan offers his greetings here.”

In the central high platform of the Array, the elder staggered, then instantly stabilized his form.

Before he could reply, he heard a ”whoosh” by his ear.

A stench hit him in the face.

The Fishing Elder frowned slightly, waving his sleeve to dispel the peculiar odor, which landed on the man who was sitting and vomiting.

”It’s merely a short-distance teleportation, something we Golden Core practitioners can endure, how can it be this severe?”

Hao Ye just opened his mouth, ”I...”

Before he could finish speaking, he ”whooshed” again, vomiting a mouthful of turbid water.

Immortal Cultivators, when they advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage, will undergo a Meridian Cleansing once.

It’s a transformation where the Dantian becomes a sea, with Spirit Qi sweeping through the body, actively provoked.

With continuous cultivation, Spirit Qi constantly saturates the body, and the passive Meridian Cleansing also keeps unfolding.

Thus, the body of a Cultivator will naturally contain fewer and fewer impurities.

Therefore, even if a Cultivator vomits, it should not emit such a foul odor.

The Fishing Elder looked displeased, frowning immediately.

Among the filth on the ground, besides the turbid water, there was also blood, indicating true damage to the viscera.

Not only that, a faint trace of Demon Qi was rising.

The Fishing Elder’s eyebrows raised, ”A Pseudo-Core Cultivator?”

His true nature exposed, Hao Ye’s expression became somewhat unnatural, or to be more precise, his current state was quite unnatural.

He wiped his mouth, managing a strained smile: ”Lord Fishing Elder has seen a laughable sight. Indeed, I advanced to the Golden Core Period through the Pseudo-Core technique.”

”No wonder!”

The Fishing Elder snorted coldly, saying that a normal Golden Core Cultivator taking a teleportation shouldn’t be this embarrassed.

Even if the body is uncomfortable, just enduring it a little would have been enough.

The other two, also unseen...

His gaze swept over the other two people.

Duan Li seemed to have known this would happen, sitting cross-legged to meditate and stabilize his state immediately upon teleporting.

And Qingyang Zi Luo Hai...

”Huh!”

The Red-Robed Daoist, with a usual complexion, stood tall like a pine on the platform, showing no signs of disarray.

Even his bright eyes held a questioning look, observing the others.

Surprised, the Fishing Elder blurted out to Luo Chen, ”Qingyang Zi, you’re in good shape!”

What does he mean by good shape?

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment.

But soon, he realized that the other party was commenting on his Body Refinement skills.

Luo Chen frowned slightly, recalling the unpleasant experience of teleportation and the behaviors of the other three post-arrival.

The worst off was Hao Ye, who had suffered visceral damage and disordered Qi Power, vomiting turbid water uncontrollably.

At best was the Fishing Elder, who also had a moment where he could not control his body and staggered.

With this in mind, Luo Chen hesitated, ”Doesn’t the Longyuan teleportation have a teleportation token?”

The Fishing Elder gave an embarrassed smile, ”Teleportation arrays that are paired with teleportation tokens are available for those long-distance and even super teleportation arrays. Longyuan’s teleportation array is merely for short-distance use, a single direct teleportation only spanning a hundred thousand miles.”

Is that so...

Luo Chen suddenly understood.

He had previously thought that the Fishing Elder had a teleportation token to shield against the immense spatial pressure during teleportation.

Now it seems, the likes of the Super Teleportation Array on Cangwu Mountain are rare in the world.

Thinking this, he also couldn’t help but feel fortunate.

Good thing he had an Azure Phoenix Feather on him back then, protecting both him and Han Zhan’s parasitic Puppet, crossing billions of miles to the distant North Sea.

Otherwise, even if he had reached the Primordial Third Order in Body Refinement then, it’s not certain that he would have endured.

The Fishing Elder took another detailed look at Luo Chen, then said, ”I’ll give you an hour to recuperate, get your condition in order, then we’ll set off.”

Hao Ye’s complexion was pale, ”Fishing Elder Lord, I...”

The Fishing Elder looked at him displeased, ”Two hours, not a minute more.”

Though Hao Ye felt somewhat unjust, he could only accept this outcome.

However, to recover from his physical injuries in just two hours, he probably wouldn’t have enough strength!

The Fishing Elder muttered to himself, the new regulations of the Demon Hunter Bureau were still not perfect!

They only thought to distinguish between Golden Core Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

But they neglected that within the Golden Core practitioners, there was the category of Pseudo-Core Cultivators.

They seem to have the realm of the Early Golden Core Stage, but their actual capabilities are much weaker.

Such individuals, if encountering unfamiliar situations, would at most be treated as Three-Star Demon Hunters, hardly qualified to be directly promoted to Four-Star Demon Hunters.

Muttering to himself, the Fishing Elder’s face nevertheless showed a warm smile.

”Qingyang Zi, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Buhuan, a Five-Star Demon Hunter, currently tasked with garrisoning the Quyang Defensive Line. Get to know each other; you might be able to help each other in the future.”
