"Seven seniors above, could you please come down for a meeting?"
After Li Chuan put away the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Mysterious Yin Banner, he returned to his normal physique, used a repair spell to fix his torn robe, and shouted up into the air with a smile.
Just as he rushed out of the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Xuan Yin Grand Formation, he noticed the seven people in the distance who were controlling swords to attack the demon soldiers.
Given that the other party helped attack the demon soldiers and were all sword cultivators, they were most likely righteous path cultivators, so his attitude was also very friendly.
Since Li Qingfeng was brought to Xiao Zhu Mountain to cultivate, this was his first time descending the mountain. Besides his fellow disciples from Xiao Zhu Mountain, he didn't know any cultivators from other sects.
Li Chuan naturally couldn't be like Li Qingfeng; cultivation was certainly necessary, but getting to know some righteous path cultivators was also very necessary.
Otherwise, some fortuitous encounters, opportunities, and heavenly materials and earthly treasures wouldn't just appear before you if you only sat and cultivated in the mountains.
Furthermore, according to Li Qingfeng's memory, the great sect of mount kunlun was destroyed by the Youquan Blood Demon of the demon sect 197 years ago, so it should be less than three years until the Youquan Blood Demon leads the demon sect to attack again.
Because if he remembered correctly, the Youquan Blood Demon attacked Mount Emei two hundred years after destroying mount kunlun, which led to the subsequent events.
By making more righteous path cultivator friends, he would have the opportunity to gain more benefits when the demonic path launches a full-scale attack.
"We dare not accept the title of senior. The Yun Zhong Seven of the Emei Sect greet fellow daoist!"
Hearing Li Chuan's voice, the leading bearded cultivator Chu Yuxiang brought the other six people down, landing in front of Li Chuan one after another, and politely performed a daoist bow.
The strong are respected everywhere. Li Chuan could kill Nan Tong, so his strength was at least no worse than theirs, naturally deserving their certain respect.
Moreover, the other party didn't look like a demonic cultivator. The powerful physical strength just now seemed more like a cultivator from the unorthodox or side paths.
Unorthodox and side paths can be both righteous and evil; some lean towards the demonic path, while others lean towards the righteous path. The Lotus Fairy they went to help this time was also an unorthodox cultivator, but she leaned towards the righteous path and had been on good terms with Mount Emei for many years.
Since this person could fight with Xuan Yin Sect Elder Nan Tong, it was highly probable that he did not lean towards the demonic path.
Hearing that the other party was the Yun Zhong Seven of the Emei Sect, Li Chuan's eyes immediately lit up, his smile increased by three points, and he also performed a daoist bow in return, saying:
"The famous Yun Zhong Seven of the Emei Sect, with profound cultivation, hating evil like a personal enemy, once jointly eliminated a Nascent Soul Stage old demon. I didn't expect to meet the real people today. This junior, Li Qingfeng of Xiao Zhu Mountain, thanks the seven seniors for your assistance just now!"
As sword cultivators from the Emei Sect, he certainly wanted to make more friends with them. Perhaps later he would have the chance to learn the powerful flying sword techniques of the Emei Sect.
"So it's a fellow daoist from Xiao Zhu Mountain. You flatter us. With Fellow Daoist Qingfeng's strength, we didn't really help much."
When Chu Yuxiang heard that Li Chuan was not from an unorthodox path but a genuine righteous path background from Xiao Zhu Mountain, and his tone everywhere revealed respect for them, he immediately felt three points closer.
Xiao Zhu Mountain was not particularly famous in the righteous path, but it was an old, long-standing righteous path sect. Its sect leader, Daoist Qingzhu, had cultivated for over four hundred years. Although his strength was only at the Core Formation Realm, in terms of seniority, he was actually a cultivator from the same period as their Master Brother Danchenzi.
It was just that he hadn't expected that besides Daoist Qingzhu, this Core Formation Realm expert, Xiao Zhu Mountain also had such a powerful master.
And the other few people couldn't help but show a hint of a smile on their faces, their eyes full of goodwill when looking at Li Chuan.
If these words were spoken by some unknown foundation establishment cultivator, they wouldn't care, but when spoken by a strong person like Li Chuan, whose strength was no less than theirs, it naturally felt extraordinary.
"If the seven seniors hadn't appeared and startled that Xuan Yin Sect Elder into revealing a flaw, this junior wouldn't have been able to break through that grand formation so easily. How can you say you didn't help?
If the seven seniors don't mind, why not take a short break at this junior's residence in the nearby city? This junior would like to treat everyone to some food and drinks?"
Li Chuan invited them very enthusiastically.
In fact, even if the seven people hadn't appeared, Li Chuan could still have killed that Xuan Yin Sect Elder, but at this moment, he wanted to befriend the seven people, so he definitely had to attribute more credit to them to better improve their relationship.
To make friends with someone, sometimes letting them owe you a favor is easier to bring you closer than you owing them a favor.
If he owes you a favor, he has a burden in his heart, and once the favor is repaid, it might be the end of it. If you owe him a favor, he has no burden in his heart, and if you treat him to food and drinks, he will feel it's only natural and won't refuse.
After a few back-and-forth exchanges like this, the relationship naturally becomes closer.
Sure enough, upon hearing Li Chuan's words, several of the seven people couldn't help but lick their lips.
These cultivators cultivated in the mountains year-round. There was no fine wine or delicious food in the mountains; they basically abstained from grains. So, occasionally satisfying their cravings for food and drink when descending the mountain and entering the world was certainly an excellent thing.
Cultivators weren't that they didn't like eating and drinking; it was simply because sometimes one meditation session could last ten days, half a month, or even several years, and they didn't understand cooking methods, so abstaining from grains was more convenient.
"The seven of us are all fond of wine. If it were peacetime, we would definitely drink with Fellow Daoist Qingfeng for three days and three nights. But currently, we are invited by Lotus Fairy and need to go to Drunken Immortal Cliff to subdue a demon.
If Fellow Daoist Qingfeng doesn't mind, we will visit you after the demon subduing is finished."
The leader, Chu Yuxiang, thought for a moment and replied with an apologetic look.
They naturally wanted to befriend a righteous path cultivator like Li Qingfeng who was both powerful and had a good personality, but unfortunately, they truly had matters to attend to and couldn't waste too much time here.
Upon hearing this, Li Chuan's eyes immediately rolled:
"Subduing a demon? This is also the first time this junior has left the sect gate. My knowledge is shallow, and I haven't seen what a demon looks like yet. If it's not a bother, could this junior follow along to broaden my horizons?"
Currently, apart from cultivation level, he had already mastered most of what Li Qingfeng knew. After this, it was just a matter of spending time absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth to accumulate true essence, which wouldn't be delayed whether it was sooner or later.
Now that he encountered the Yun Zhong Seven subduing a demon, it would be better to follow along and see. Perhaps he could gain some benefits, and that Lotus Fairy was probably a famous figure, so making her acquaintance wouldn't be bad either.
"No way, this is only your first time leaving the sect gate!"
Upon hearing Li Chuan's words, Shangguan Qian, who ranked seventh, immediately widened her eyes, and the other six people also showed looks of surprise.
Based on the strength Li Chuan just displayed, he was definitely at the Core Formation Realm. Even with unparalleled talent, he would have had to cultivate for at least seventy or eighty years. It was extremely rare to descend the mountain for the first time after seventy or eighty years.
"It is indeed the first time leaving the sect for experience. It's been less than two months so far."
Li Chuan nodded honestly.
There was no need to lie about these things. He was now Li Qingfeng, so he would speak according to Li Qingfeng's situation.
"There's no such thing as a bother. Since Fellow Daoist Qingfeng wants to come along, that would naturally be excellent."
The leader, Chu Yuxiang, didn't hesitate much and agreed immediately.
