455: Return to the Fairy City

His companion's escape was completely outside Zhu Zhifeng's expectations. Not long ago, he had seen Zhou Luo trapped by the formation and felt certain of victory, believing the battle was about to end.

But unexpectedly, not long after, the other party came out so easily, and his two companions ran away without looking back, as if they had seen something terrifying.

He looked at Zhou Luo, who was completely unharmed, with a surprised expression, and recalled his companion's warning during the escape. He asked in a deep voice, "What exactly is your background?"

"No matter what my background is, that's not a reason for you to attack and kill me."

Zhou Luo held the Cheng Tian Sword and looked at the other party with cold eyes.

At this moment, his entire body was enveloped by Sword Intent, the vast Sword Intent almost solidifying, making people's eyes sting to look at.

Without further ado, he quickly made a move.

Those two were accomplices; if they ran, so be it.

The other party, however, could not be allowed to escape.

He was still thinking about the Materials for forming a Golden Core on the other party.

Since the other party was so eager for the xuanming jade marrow, he must have already gathered quite a few Materials.

Now that the other party had delivered himself to his doorstep, he naturally wouldn't let him go.

Zhu Zhifeng's expression changed drastically. He wanted to run, but Ye Qian was restricting him nearby, leaving him with no means of escape.

At this moment, Zhou Luo had already attacked.

Originally, Zhu Zhifeng and Ye Qian were evenly matched. Although he could gain the upper hand, he couldn't secure victory.

With Zhou Luo's addition, the situation became completely one-sided.

After barely a hundred moves, Zhu Zhifeng could no longer resist and was sealed by Zhou Luo's sword to the throat, bleeding profusely before this massive canyon.

Zhou Luo quickly came to his corpse and completely emptied him of his belongings.

Without even having time to check what was inside, he called out to Ye Qian and immediately left the place on his flying boat.

No one knew if there were others secretly coveting things in this desolate wilderness.

To avoid being attacked and killed again, he decisively chose to leave.

Not long after he left, Rogue Cultivator were indeed attracted by the battle here, wanting a piece of the pie.

Unfortunately, they got nothing.

Zhou Luo, who appeared a thousand miles away, looked at the rapidly receding scenery around him before finally settling down to examine Zhu Zhifeng's storage ring.

As a top Second-Order Alchemist, the most abundant items on Zhu Zhifeng were naturally Pills.

There were countless Second Order Pills of various sizes in bottles and jars, including even a small bottle of Foundation Establishment Pills.

That's right, as expected of an Alchemist from Golden Cloud Immortal City, he had so many Foundation Establishment Pills.

It seems that in the future, his wives and concubines won't have to worry about the issue of Foundation Establishment Pills when undergoing Foundation Establishment.

Besides these high-quality Second Order Pills, Zhou Luo also found several valuable Magical Artifacts.

These Magical Artifacts were all High Grade Foundation Establishment Magical Artifacts, which seemed to have been obtained through transactions with others.

Next to the Magical Artifacts were some Talismans.

What surprised Zhou Luo was that there was even a set of Second Order Talismans here.

During the battle just now, the other party didn't even have time to use them before being killed by his sword.

Now, this set of mid-grade Talismans that could rival top-grade Talismans naturally fell into Zhou Luo's hands.

Besides these, there were also Jade Slips in the ring, all containing ancient books on Pill Refining.

These were for him to teach his Disciples, not very useful to Zhou Luo, but if sold later, he could probably get quite a few Spirit Stones.

As a Second-Order Alchemist, Zhu Zhifeng had quite a lot of Spirit Stones.

Zhou Luo took a rough look; there were over a hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones alone, and countless other Spirit Stones (mid grade) and so on.

Calculating this way, the Spirit Stones he spent to bid for the xuanming jade marrow were basically earned back.

Indeed, killing and plundering treasures was the best way to increase wealth.

Besides these dazzling items, what Zhou Luo was most concerned about was naturally the Materials for forming a Golden Core.

Zhu Zhifeng's Lifespan was already nearing its end, with only a few decades at most, so he had been preparing to form a Golden Core early on.

Coupled with the fact that he himself was a top Second-Order Alchemist and had always stayed in Golden Cloud Immortal City, he had earned a lot of wealth by helping others refine Pills.

So over the years, he had accumulated quite a few Materials for forming a Golden Core.

Forming a Golden Core requires five major Materials and three hundred and sixty auxiliary herbs.

Zhu Zhifeng had basically gathered all the auxiliary herbs, and as for the five major Materials, he had also gathered three, not far from gathering all of them.

No wonder he was so desperately trying to get that xuanming jade marrow.

Unfortunately, he tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice, ultimately paving the way for others.

After a simple check, Zhou Luo put the storage ring into his pocket.

Beside him, Ye Qian saw this scene, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly, but she said nothing.

She knew very well that Zhu Zhifeng's storage ring must contain many Materials for forming a Golden Core, otherwise, he wouldn't have fought so desperately for this xuanming jade marrow.

However, she also understood that these things were only obtained because of Zhou Luo.

If it were just her alone, let alone Zhu Zhifeng himself, she might not even be able to easily deal with just those two Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators.

So even if the other party directly claimed those things for himself, she wouldn't have the slightest objection.

Things are what one needs to strive for oneself.

She wasn't the kind of little girl who would cry and whine for things, so she wouldn't do such a thing.

Moreover, over the years, Zhou Luo had already helped her find quite a few Materials.

The two who cultivated the Dragon-Phoenix Union Art had long since developed a telepathic connection and knew each other's intentions.

Don't look at Zhou Luo being only at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage now, but relying on Dual Cultivation Methods, entering the Foundation Establishment Stage is not a very difficult matter.

So, like Ye Qian, he also needed these Golden Core Materials.

"Later, I will continue to help you find them."

Zhou Luo transmitted his voice.

He felt it was still necessary to mention this kind of thing.

Ye Qian shook her head slightly, "It's okay, my Lifespan is still very long, I will gather these Materials sooner or later."

Zhou Luo becoming stronger was also a good thing for her, and after so many years, she was actually not that eager to achieve the Golden Core Realm anymore.

Before, she would worry that because she had left the Sect, the longer it dragged on, the harder it would be to achieve the Golden Core Realm.

But in Qingyuan Immortal City, apart from the spiritual energy not being as good, other things were actually not much different, relying on Zhou Luo's powerful abilities.

Since there was no need to worry, there was naturally no need to rush.

A month later, the four successfully returned to Qingyuan Immortal City.

Not long after he had just returned to the Zhou Residence, Wang Lang personally came to the Immortal City Core Area.

With a smug expression, he quickly walked into the main hall and said in a cheerful tone, "Grand Manager, good news, Fang Li and the others have withdrawn from the daily operations of the business area."

While Zhou Luo was still in Golden Cloud Immortal City, all of Fang Li's subordinates left the shops in the business area.

This meant they would no longer interfere with the matters of the commercial center, only taking their annual dividends.

This was naturally excellent news for Zhou Luo.

He was just a little curious, so he asked, "Did something happen on the Azure Origin Sect side?"
