Chapter 866: Alchemist Assembly
Outside of this, if time allows, Lin Tianming also plans to visit the Yulan Country's Cultivation World.
Yulan Country is adjacent to the Yuxu Country, where the Blood Red Alliance is located. Between Lin Tianming's current location in Jinfeng Nation, there are several vast countries.
Among these countries is the Tang Country, controlled by the Tang Family, and another Nascent Soul level force on the Qingzhou land, which is the Yuanzhen Kingdom's Cultivation Realm controlled by the Yuanzhen Sect.
As for why Lin Tianming intends to go to Yulan Country this time, it's mainly because of a critical factor, which is that on the entire Qingzhou land, there are only two Fourth Order Alchemists known publicly.
Among these two Fourth Order Alchemists, one is named Lu Changxiao.
Currently, this person is not only a Nascent Soul Middle Stage expert but also a Fourth Order Alchemist renowned throughout Qingzhou, whose alchemical expertise is reputed to be unparalleled on the entire Qingzhou land.
However, Lu Changxiao is an independent cultivator, and his exact background and growth trajectory have been subjects of various rumors on the Qingzhou land.
Among these, the most widely spread and credible one is that Lu Changxiao's talent is exceptionally astounding; his talent of a fire attribute Mono Spirit Root is rare on the Qingzhou land in the past two thousand years.
As for his exact origin, some literary records indicate that he seems to come from a small country on the edge of Qingzhou.
Nearly a thousand years ago, it was as if Lu Changxiao received the legacy of a top expert and unexpectedly relied on his own comprehension to embark on the path of cultivation alone.
Since then, he has always cultivated alone, never having joined any force.
From that point on, as an independent cultivator, Lu Changxiao, relying merely on his terrifying talent, roamed around as his home, practicing in a vast number of territories.
As his cultivation entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, his cultivation began to soar further.
According to the speed trajectory of his cultivation, it was simply shocking, and the combat power he displayed was extremely terrifying.
It was at that time that Lu Changxiao's reputation began to spread in the territories of some countries in Qingzhou.
Subsequently, he traveled through each country in Qingzhou, and practically every place he went, he would thoroughly walk over that piece of land.
However, the Qingzhou land alone could not confine a genius cultivator like Lu Changxiao.
Moreover, he is an esteemed alchemist whose expertise in alchemy truly amazes people.
Thus, when Lu Changxiao's cultivation crossed into the Golden Core Stage, he also left the Qingzhou land, beginning to appear in various territories of the Nine Provinces Continent.
Including the Central Three States of the Nine Provinces Continent, he left traces and stories there.
In the past several hundred years, as Lu Changxiao's cultivation realm stayed at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, he began to travel less frequently than before.
At the very least, in the past several hundred years, there have been very few reports of Lu Changxiao appearing in other states beyond Qingzhou.
The places that frequently reported his presence were notably in the Qingzhou where he gained fame.
Moreover, perhaps because his age is advancing and his potential declining, Lu Changxiao frequently appears on the Qingzhou land and coincidentally around the area of Yulan Country.
Regarding this, external cultivators are puzzled but cannot find any explanation.
After all, Lu Changxiao is a Nascent Soul Stage expert and the number one alchemist in Qingzhou.
With such immense abilities, those cultivators who are like ants in Lu Changxiao's eyes certainly will not know the real reason behind it, nor dare to inquire.
Moreover, even though Lu Changxiao has appeared in the area of Yulan Country multiple times over the years.
He is a top-level expert who is a mysterious figure, elusive as a dragon.
Under these circumstances, even though the lower-level cultivators in Qingzhou are curious about his frequent appearances in Yulan Country, they can't obtain any useful information or explanation from Lu Changxiao.
Even Yulan Sect, the dominators of Yulan Country, will not step forward to explain the exact reason either.
Consequently, many cultivators secretly speculated that since Lu Changxiao is an expert at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage and a Fourth Order Alchemist,
his frequent appearances in Yulan Country might be to exchange alchemy experiences with Zhou Tianlong, the foremost expert of the Yulan Sect.
After all, on the current Qingzhou land, there are only two Fourth Order Alchemists.
And those two are precisely Lu Changxiao and Zhou Tianlong.
This means that if either of them wants to find an alchemist of the same order to exchange insights within the Qingzhou boundaries, they mostly have only each other.
Unless they leave the Qingzhou land to visit other state territories.
Otherwise, as of now, there is no third Fourth Order Alchemist existing on the Qingzhou land.
This possibility is quite acceptable to many cultivators in Qingzhou.
In addition, there's a strong possibility that Lu Changxiao accepted Zhou Tianlong's invitation to become a Guest Elder of the Yulan Sect.
The matter of Zhou Tianlong inviting Lu Changxiao was publicly known over a thousand years ago.
At that time, Lu Changxiao was still at the late Golden Core Stage cultivation.
