Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 576 - 318: A Feather-Light Sword Strike, Chi Yue’s Shock

However, compared to the person before her, they are absolutely not the same.

She even felt the difference was not just a little bit.

"Could it be that this is the legendary five-inch and ninety-nine Nascent Soul height, a rare figure in the Realm of the Strongest Quasi-Great True Monarch?"

Chi Yue True Monarch thought in shock.

Theoretically speaking, the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Realm can at most reach the upper limit of five-inch and ninety-nine in Nascent Soul height.

However, almost no one can reach it.

Even the senior brother from her own Cyan Gang Sect, who is a Great True Monarch, initially ascended to become a Great True Monarch with a five-inch and ninety-six Nascent Soul height.

Even so, he was already a dragon among men.

Five-inch and ninety-nine?

It’s really something that only exists in legend.

Such a terrifyingly talented and powerful figure must have a grand reputation, widely known, likely belonging to a Peak Strong Sect in the Chaotic Demon Sea.

However, as Chi Yue True Monarch gazed at that fair-faced individual, she felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

Had she never seen this person before?

For a moment, Chi Yue True Monarch felt bewildered.

Yet, despite her confusion, for the sake of courtesy, Chi Yue True Monarch quickly suppressed the doubts in her heart, bowed towards the refined youth in the void, and sincerely expressed her gratitude:

"I am Chi Yue, the Second Supreme Elder of the Cyan Gang Sect, and I thank Fellow Daoist for your righteous intervention and rescue."

"Had it not been, I fear I might have had to self-destruct my Spirit Treasure and still might not have escaped safely..."

Swish!

Qi Chuan moved and arrived in the void above the Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon he had slain, glancing at the demon corpse below, and smiled faintly.

This sea demon seemed to be a sea cow-type demon beast.

Its demon pill was also quite good in quality.

Ideal for refining a Nascent Soul Pill.

Then, Qi Chuan raised his eyelids, looked towards Chi Yue True Monarch in the distance, and said with a smile: "These past few days, I was also searching for traces of Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demons, intending to hunt for their pills. My action was for this reason alone, so there’s no need to be too concerned about it."

"Is that so..." Upon hearing this, Chi Yue suddenly understood.

Encountering such a strong individual who could help resolve the crisis was truly her fortune.

Then she cupped her hands towards Qi Chuan and solemnly said: "Even though Fellow Daoist was after the demon beast core, you truly saved me. I must thank you. How about taking this Purple-Scaled Squid as a token of my gratitude? What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"

"Purple-Scaled Squid?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan turned his gaze towards another direction, the large purple octopus.

This large purple octopus, although its demon pill quality isn’t as good as the sea cow-type demon beast I killed, is still quite decent for refining a Nascent Soul Pill.

Currently, my Nascent Soul Pills are sufficient,

but any extras can still be given to Senior Brother Qingyun to consume.

Therefore, Qi Chuan nodded and said: "Very well, thank you for your kind offer, Fellow Daoist Chi Yue."

Then, without being pretentious,

he descended nimbly, and openly began processing the Purple-Scaled Squid, along with the demon pills and high-tier materials from the sea cow-type sea demon.

After all, he did indeed save Chi Yue True Monarch, so there was no need to be overly restrained.

Chi Yue True Monarch watched Qi Chuan begin processing the demon beast corpses without any care, feeling a sense of reassurance instead.

Truth be told, if not for the presence of this strong individual,

she would have been unable to gain the rewards from hunting the Purple-Scaled Squid.

The most powerful Tier Four Middle Grade Spirit Treasure in her hands, the Red Blood Spirit Saber, might have had to self-destruct.

Moreover, even if she could escape smoothly in the end, she might still sustain some minor or severe injuries.

If the other party refused the Purple-Scaled Squid, this favor might have been hard to repay.

Of course.

Just a Purple-Scaled Squid, Chi Yue believed, couldn’t compare to the value of her life.

She quietly watched Qi Chuan at work for a while, then curiously asked: "By the way, can I ask which sect Fellow Daoist belongs to and your esteemed name?"

"Qi Chuan, from the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect. Oh, by the way, you might not have heard this name." Qi Chuan smiled and said.

"What, you are Qi Chuan? Qi Chuan from the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect?"

However, upon hearing this, Chi Yue True Monarch’s heart trembled fiercely, her beautiful eyes widened significantly, and she began scrutinizing Qi Chuan up and down.

"Hmm? You’ve heard of me?"

Qi Chuan was slightly surprised, as he looked up at Chi Yue True Monarch while dealing with the demon beast materials.

He seemed to recall that this was his first meeting with this Chi Yue True Monarch of the Cyan Gang Sect?

Why did it seem like the other person had heard of him before?

"Heard of you..." Chi Yue True Monarch shook her head, but considering it was indeed their first meeting, she then sincerely explained: "You might not know, but the Hundred Flowers Fairy of the Hundred Flowers Sect, Gong Yunrou, is my friend."

"Once upon a time, during the crisis at Baihua Island, when I couldn’t arrive in time, it was Fellow Daoist Qi Chuan who intervened and saved my friend."

"However, by the time I reached Baihua Island, you had already left, and unfortunately, we didn’t meet."

"I never expected that today we would have the fate to meet again in such a manner..."

As Chi Yue explained, her tone carried a hint of emotion.

She didn’t expect that the formidable quasi-Great True Monarch expert she encountered on the way, who saved her, could be considered somewhat of an old acquaintance.

It truly was a touch of destiny.

"Gong Yunrou is your friend?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan was slightly taken aback.

He seemed to recall such an event indeed.

But the Hundred Flowers Sect having such a friendly relationship with the Second Supreme Elder of the Cyan Gang Sect was unexpected to him.

In this way, it made perfect sense for Chi Yue True Monarch to have heard his name from Gong Yunrou.

"That is indeed a coincidence." Qi Chuan also nodded, smiling.

"Indeed..."

Chi Yue True Monarch nodded, but as she thought about something, she suddenly widened her beautiful eyes, staring at Qi Chuan in continuous scrutiny.

"What’s the matter?" Qi Chuan glanced at her, a bit puzzled.

"Nothing..." Chi Yue True Monarch immediately shook her head.

But only she knew how shocked she was inside.

She remembered this Qi Chuan True Monarch from the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect was very, very young.

Achieving the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Realm at that age already made him a prodigy.

Back then, when Gong Yunrou talked to her, she mentioned being rescued by a passing quasi-Great True Monarch, which was Qi Chuan.

So she thought Qi Chuan was just an ordinary quasi-Great True Monarch.

Even so, he was still exceedingly rare, and she was very curious when she heard about it.

But now?

She was wrong.

Qi Chuan was no ordinary quasi-Great True Monarch.

He was in the Realm of the Strongest Quasi-Great True Monarch!

A Nascent Soul height that could possibly reach five-inch and ninety-nine.

Could such a prodigy be described simply?

Compared to him, Chi Yue felt a bit inferior and ashamed.

"This Qi Chuan will definitely enter the Realm of the Great True Monarch in the future, and the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect will surely become a Peak Strong Sect with a Great True Monarch, standing on the same level as my Cyan Gang Sect..."

"Now, with this rescue, I have some ties with him. Perhaps I should take this opportunity to strengthen the alliance between the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect and the Cyan Gang Sect; this would be a very beneficial thing for both sects."

Chi Yue True Monarch thought with anticipation.

She once felt that Qi Chuan and the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect had great potential for investment and suggested this to Gong Yunrou.

However, she ultimately had no connections with the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect and couldn’t get involved.

But now things were different, as they truly knew each other.

Moreover, the potential of Qi Chuan and the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect seemed much greater in her eyes, almost certain as an unrealized future.

Thus, fostering good relations between the Cyan Gang Sect and the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect was very feasible.
