Qingping Mountain, within a secluded valley.

A somewhat chilly mountain breeze blew in from outside, producing a whimpering sound.

A veiled woman paced back and forth in the valley, seemingly waiting for something.

Suddenly, a sound of tunneling through the void came from outside the mountain.

The woman's heart lifted with joy, and she quickly went out to greet it.

At the moment she saw the arrival, she elegantly performed a familiar ritual of greeting, "Ascendant Master Tao Wen greets Sect Leader Li!"

Li Yingzhang waved his hand and smiled, "Why bother with such formalities, Sect Master Tao? Our families have deep ties, there's no need for such alienation."

Beneath the veil, Tao Wen bitterly smiled.

The once prestigious Qingdan Valley, esteemed as a Golden Core Great Sect, was powerful at that time, and the Luo Tian Creed was then but a second-rate force.

Now, Qingdan Valley has only three Golden Core Cultivators, barely maintaining its status as a Great Sect.

Yet, the Luo Tian Creed, once dependent on Qingdan Valley's breath, has become the aloof Luotian Upper Sect.

Between the two, a pitifully thick fence had long since been raised!

The only link allowing communication between the two might be the scant connection between her and the Supreme Elder of Luo Tian Sect!

With a sigh in her heart, Tao Wen gathered her spirits and asked, "Is True Master Luo willing to meet me?"

Li Yingzhang said apologetically, "Unfortunately, the Supreme Elder has been very busy lately and cannot spare the time to see you."

Tao Wen opened her mouth, filled with disappointment beneath the veil.

But Li Yingzhang's next words instantly swept away her disappointment.

"However, rest assured, in this war initiative, the Supreme Elder agrees for Qingdan Valley to participate. Furthermore, after securing a domain, you may choose a piece of Third Order Spirit Land as a place for your Sect's continuation."

Upon hearing this, Tao Wen was overjoyed.

"Thank you Sect Leader Li, and please also thank your sect's Supreme Elder on my behalf!"

Li Yingzhang waved his hand, "No worries, it's just a small matter. I have other matters to attend to, so I must take my leave."

"Sect Leader Li, don't worry about me, in one year Qingdan Valley will definitely join the battle!" Tao Wen said happily, and took out a storage bag, respectfully handing it over, "Though True Master Luo is unwilling to see me, Qingdan Valley hasn't forgotten some things, please hand it over on my behalf."

Li Yingzhang hesitated as he looked at the storage bag.

Tao Wen earnestly said, "It's what Qingdan Valley owed True Master Luo back in the days; although it may not be of use to him now, we cannot break our promise."

Li Yingzhang did not refuse anymore, took the storage bag, then floated away.

Once Li Yingzhang left, Tao Wen finally relaxed with a sigh of relief.

She did not linger here; after a glance towards the peak of Qingping Mountain, she quickly departed.

Heading straight towards Lingtian Pass.

At the peak of Qingping Mountain, Luo Chen and Sima Huiniang stood together, collectively counting the batch of magic items destined to be the foundation of Luo Tian Sect, discussing how to distribute them afterwards.

Li Yingzhang came hurriedly to report the situation, and finally handed over a storage bag.

"I understand."

Luo Chen accepted the storage bag, nodding lightly.

Li Yingzhang then did not linger and respectfully withdrew.

Once he was gone, Sima Huiniang chuckled, "Who would've thought Qingdan Valley still exists, there were rumors that they had perished."

While utilizing Origin Force to remove the Blood and Flesh Mark left by the Centipede Demon Emperor on the magic item, Luo Chen responded, "Rumors are just rumors, these ancient Golden Core Great Sects have methods of survival."

These words spoke, Luo Chen's face showed a bit of wistful emotion.

As the frontline facing demon beast invasion, the Yu Ding Realm's loss was significant.

Among the Seven Sects of Yu Ding, the Sword Sect's True Master tragically died, sustained by Lin Qingxuan, an emerging talent.

Luo Yun Sect was destroyed, Supreme Elder Han Zhan escaped to the North Sea.

Ailao Mountain collapsed, Hundred Flowers Palace withered, Ice Castle barely survived, Luo Tian Sect fled for miles.

And Qingdan Valley, first suffered demon beast raids, then internal strife with Xuan Yunzi rebelling and seizing the Nascent Soul Formation Pill Recipe.

Then rumors said, a large number of Qingdan Valley disciples were absorbed by Medicine King Sect, and amidst opportunistic attacks, many died or fled.

Thus, Qingdan Valley was essentially erased from history in the Eastern Wasteland.

No one expected, the last Sect Master Tao Wen managed to preserve a branch!

Over the years, she hid like the Jueqing Fairy, leading dozens of Qingdan Valley disciples to dodge and scatter, blending into Lingtian Pass.

Even concealing the name "Qingdan Valley," calling themselves Rogue Cultivators.

With such actions, Luo Chen could mostly guess their intentions.

Simply afraid of someone coveting the Nascent Soul Formation Pill Recipe Qingdan Valley once owned, a treasure drawing unwanted attention.

Now that the situation is settled, Tao Wen is seeking to use Luo Chen's influence to rebuild the mountain gate.

"Husband, you are kind-hearted, agreeing to let the insignificant Qingdan Valley participate." Sima Huiniang looked at Luo Chen with a meaningful smile, "I heard Ascendant Master Tao Wen is still unmarried, quite pitiful being alone."

"Haha, I always thought Caiyi was jealous, how did the usually understanding Hui Niang become like this?" Luo Chen paused his actions.

Sima Huiniang lowered her head in grievance.

Luo Chen sighed, weighing the storage bag Qingdan Valley offered up.

"After all, Tao Wen is an old acquaintance of mine, how can I ignore their plight?"

"Moreover, they're quite insightful and sensible, far more so than other Golden Core Great Sects."

The storage bag was opened, revealing a copied Fourth Order Nascent Soul Pill Prescription. Additionally, there was a jade slip recording Qingdan Valley's former Five Peaks Around The Valley Formation condensing Fourth Order Spirit Vein's Feng Shui Array.

The former was not given without cause.
