Li Cheng’s expression showed a hint of surprise, as what Lin Zuo presented to him was the Four-sided Lamp Fire Map!
Originally, Yun Fuxue, Qin Wuhun, Shu Wangjuan, and Hua Bufan had gone to Misty City precisely to search for the Four-sided Lamp Fire Map.
Later, they learned from Ao Qianchi that the Four-sided Lamp Fire Map had been brought to the Central Continent over a hundred thousand years ago.
Unexpectedly, it had ended up in Lin Zuo’s hands, and now it had been offered to him.
“Haha, yes, it is indeed the Four-sided Lamp Fire Map. An Immortal Venerable came from the Southern Domain years ago, bringing the map in exchange for a bottle of Immortal Pill with me,” Lin Zuo said with a laugh.
Li Cheng nodded slightly. How the Four-sided Lamp Fire Map had been obtained wasn’t important; what mattered was to quickly hand over the map to Yun Fuxue. The four of them had already been rushing to the Central Continent for many years, and it was unknown if they had managed to come to the Divine Palace Region.
“Vice Alliance Hierarch Lin, I accept your kindness. Let’s consider the previous unpleasantness behind us. Let’s forego the drinks, as there’s something I’d need Vice Alliance Hierarch Lin’s assistance with,” Li Cheng said, putting away the Four-sided Lamp Fire Map.
Lin Zuo looked somewhat flattered and quickly clasped his fists, saying, “Young Master Li jests. Whatever it is, just command me!”
Li Cheng said, “In recent years, four Confucian Immortals came to Central Continent, precisely to find this Four-sided Lamp Fire Map. They are my friends, so I would trouble Vice Alliance Hierarch Lin to help inquire about their whereabouts.”
The Pill League had enormous influence; finding a few Confucian Immortals would be a simple task.
But Li Cheng had yet to take over the Pill League, so he naturally had to entrust others to do it.
Lin Zuo nodded, “Young Master Li, rest assured, I will personally investigate. I believe there will be results within half a day at the quickest, or three days at the slowest.”
Li Cheng smiled, “Many thanks!”
Having said that the four individuals were his friends, if Lin Zuo found them, he would certainly invite them over with the utmost respect.
After Lin Zuo took his leave, Li Cheng left a strand of Immortal Sense in the courtyard and then entered the Immortal Palace, beginning to refine the Rising Yuan Immortal Pill.
Lin Zuo’s efficiency was indeed high; in just half a day outside, he hurried back to Li Cheng’s residence.
But he did not bring Yun Fuxue and the others with him.
“Young Master Li, I have thoroughly investigated. Indeed, Confucian Immortals appeared in the Divine Palace Region not long ago, but they have already gone to the Immortal World via the Ascend to Immortal Platform, just over a month ago,” Lin Zuo said.
Gone back to the Immortal World?
Could it be because of the Kunlun Realm’s revival? Had they temporarily given up searching for the Four-sided Lamp Fire Map?
“I have already sent a message to the Pill League in the Immortal World, they will keep an eye out for these four Confucian Immortals, but I don’t know when they will have news,” Lin Zuo added.
After pondering for a few seconds, Li Cheng clasped his fists, “Your efforts are appreciated, Vice Alliance Hierarch Lin.”
Since they had returned to the Immortal World, they were most likely at the Confucian Sect, so there was no need for him to worry.
He could always give them the Four-sided Lamp Fire Map the next time he saw them.
“Young Master Li, please don’t be too polite. Oh, and there are already quite a few powers that have come, wishing to visit Young Master Li,” Lin Zuo mentioned.
Li Cheng shook his head, “I plan to go into seclusion. I’ll deal with these people when the feast begins.”
With so many Rising Yuan Immortal Pills at hand, focusing on their refinement was the real priority.
As for the visitors, they were sure to be numerous, and there was no need to meet with each one.
“Alright, then I will arrange for them to stay within the Pill League first.”
With Lin Zuo gone, Li Cheng was free from disturbance and began his seclusion with focus.
Outside, three months had passed, and Lord City was buzzing with excitement. Not only were there various forces from the Divine Palace Region, but also representatives from other territories and even the Immortal World!
The Pill League headquarters, on the surface, seemed to span only dozens of miles, but upon entering, one would discover that its actual size was a staggering hundreds of thousands of miles!
“In our Kunlun Realm, the most influential force is the Pill League. I was wondering, how could the mighty Pill League occupy only dozens of miles? It turns out there was a master who folded space!”
“It must be the work of an Immortal Emperor who has mastered at least tens of thousands of Space Laws. Otherwise, ordinary Immortal Emperors could not possibly fold hundreds of thousands of miles of space within dozens of miles.”
“This method has some similarities with those ancient ruins from the past!”
This headquarters, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, gathered countless powerhouses, with immortals everywhere to be seen.
Mu Xingzhi had arrived early, but to his dismay, he had not seen his junior uncle.
At the moment, Mu Xingzhi was visiting the Pill League headquarters, intending to model and meticulously build up the Heavenly Mechanism Sect in the same way.
“Sect Leader Mu, look at this Immortal Field. It appears to cover only ten acres, but in reality, it spans over a hundred thousand acres. It is convenient for both surveillance and management,” Lin Zuo personally accompanied Mu Xingzhi, introducing the features of the Pill League from time to time.
This scene, which started a month ago, had already become familiar to many.
But the majority didn’t know Mu Xingzhi’s identity and could only speculate quietly, as anyone personally accompanied by the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Pill League must be extraordinary.
“Vice Alliance Leader Lin, I’m really just casually strolling. I wouldn’t dare to trouble you to accompany me!” Mu Xingzhi said helplessly.
He had snuck out to wander around, but it never took long before he encountered Lin Zuo.
Naturally, Mu Xingzhi knew this was all because of his junior uncle!
But this undoubtedly left him feeling honored and overwhelmed, given that Lin Zuo’s cultivation was unfathomable and he was the second in command of the Pill League.
“Vice Alliance Leader Lin is so respectful and almost obsequious in front of that person. Who could they be?” Many who had just arrived at the Pill League and witnessed this scene were profoundly shocked.
“Indeed, that person is merely a Loose Immortal, but Vice Alliance Leader Lin is an Immortal Emperor. It’s odd for an Immortal Emperor to lower his status to accompany a Loose Immortal!”
Who wouldn’t be surprised by such a sight?
“You must be new here, no wonder you’re curious. That man is the Sect Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Now you understand, right?” someone explained.
The newcomers suddenly realized. No wonder, Li Cheng was the Eighteenth Elder of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, and that man was the Sect Master.
Although Li Cheng had now become the future Hierarch of the Pill League, he was still the Eighteenth Elder of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Unless Li Cheng betrayed his sect, he could not defy the will of the Sect Master within the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Therefore, to a certain extent, Mu Xingzhi’s status was extremely high!
“Sect Leader Mu, tomorrow is the day the grand banquet begins. Young Master Li will definitely leave seclusion today. We’ve wandered enough, shall we go together to Young Master Li’s courtyard and wait?” Lin Zuo suggested.
If he went to wait on his own, it would seem somewhat abrupt.
But having Mu Xingzhi with him was different, as Mu Xingzhi was the Sect Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, Li Cheng’s Sect Master.
A light shone in Mu Xingzhi’s eyes, “As Vice Alliance Leader Lin said, my junior uncle must have had a significant increase in cultivation upon leaving seclusion. I’m curious to see what realm he has reached. Let’s go welcome him!”
In the depths of the Pill League, Gu Sanqiu’s Immortal Sense swept across the entire venue, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face. “Very good, very good, so many people have come. This truly lives up to the name of a grand banquet!”
“However, for such an important banquet, why has that rascal Lin Zuo gone off to accompany a Loose Immortal?”
He had also just left seclusion and was unaware of the events that had taken place during this period, as he usually left affairs to Lin Zuo.
“That Loose Immortal, he’s no ordinary man!” Gu Sanqiu muttered to himself as he flew towards Li Cheng’s courtyard.
