He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 230 Traveling Together (First Update)

"Would the seven seniors above be so kind as to come down and meet us?"

After Li Chuan put away the Nine Heavenly Demon Xuan Yin Banner, he returned to his normal size, used a repair spell to fix his torn robe, and shouted into the air with a smile.

Just as he broke out of the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Profound Yin Formation, he noticed the seven people in the distance who were attacking the demon soldiers with their swords.

Given that the other party was helping to attack the demonic soldiers and that they were all sword cultivators, they were most likely righteous cultivators, so his attitude was very friendly.

Since being brought to Xiaozhu Mountain for cultivation, this was Li Qingfeng's first time descending the mountain. Apart from his fellow disciples from Xiaozhu Mountain, he did not recognize any of the cultivators from other sects.

Li Chuan naturally couldn't be like Li Qingfeng. He definitely needed to cultivate, but it was also very necessary for him to get to know some righteous cultivators every now and then.

Otherwise, some serendipitous encounters, opportunities, and rare treasures won't just appear before you by sitting in the mountains cultivating.

Furthermore, according to Li Qingfeng's memory, the Kunlun sect was destroyed by the Youquan Blood Demon of the Demonic Sect 197 years ago. It should have been less than three years since the Youquan Blood Demon led the Demonic Sect to attack again.

If he remembered correctly, the Blood Demon of the Netherworld began attacking Emei two hundred years after destroying Kunlun, which led to the events that followed.

He should make more friends with righteous cultivators so that he can gain more benefits when the demonic path launches a full-scale attack.

"I dare not accept the title of senior. We are the Seven Disciples of Yunzhong from the Emei Sect, greetings, fellow Daoist!"

Upon hearing Li Chuan's voice, the leading bearded cultivator, Chu Yuxiang, along with the other six, landed in front of Li Chuan and politely bowed.

The strong are respected everywhere. Li Chuan was able to kill Nan Tong, so his strength is at least no less than theirs. Naturally, he deserves their respect.

Moreover, the other party didn't seem like a demonic cultivator. Judging from the powerful physical strength just now, he seemed more like a cultivator from a heretical sect.

The unorthodox sects are neither entirely righteous nor entirely evil; some lean towards the demonic path, while others lean towards the righteous path. The Lotus Fairy who went to help them this time was also an unorthodox cultivator, but she leaned towards the righteous path and had been on good terms with Emei for many years.

Since this person was able to fight with Elder Nan Tong of the Xuan Yin Sect, it's highly likely that he's not biased towards the demonic path.

Upon hearing that the other party was one of the Seven Masters of Yunzhong from the Emei Sect, Li Chuan's eyes lit up, and his smile deepened. He returned the greeting with a Daoist bow.

"The renowned Seven Masters of Emei Sect, with their profound cultivation and hatred of evil, once joined forces to annihilate an old demon in the Nascent Soul stage. I never expected to meet you in person today. I am Li Qingfeng from Xiaozhushan. Thank you all for your help!"

He definitely needs to befriend the sword cultivators of the Emei Sect, because he might even have the chance to learn their powerful flying sword techniques later on.

"So you are a fellow Daoist from Xiaozhushan. You flatter us. With Fellow Daoist Qingfeng's strength, we have not been of any help."

Upon hearing that Li Chuan was not a heretic but a legitimate member of the orthodox Xiaozhushan sect, and that his tone revealed respect for them, Chu Yuxiang immediately felt a bit closer to him.

Xiaozhushan is not well-known in the righteous path, but it is an old and established righteous sect with a long history. Its leader, Qingzhu Daoren, has been cultivating for more than 400 years. Although his strength is only at the Core Formation stage, in terms of seniority, he is actually a contemporary of their senior brother, Dan Chenzi.

He just didn't expect that besides Daoist Qingzhu, who was at the Core Formation stage, there was such a powerful expert in Xiaozhu Mountain.

The others couldn't help but smile, their eyes filled with goodwill as they looked at Li Chuan.

If these words were spoken by some unknown Foundation Establishment cultivators, they wouldn't care, but when spoken by a powerful figure like Li Chuan, whose strength is no less than theirs, it naturally feels extraordinary.

"If it weren't for the appearance of the seven seniors, which frightened the Xuan Yin Sect elder into revealing his weakness, I wouldn't have been able to break through that great formation so easily. How can you say I didn't help?"

If the seven seniors don't mind, why don't you rest for a while at my lodging on a side street in the city? I'll treat you to some food and drink."

Li Chuan extended a very warm invitation.

Even if the seven hadn't appeared, Li Chuan could still have killed the Xuan Yin Sect elder. But since he wanted to befriend the seven, he needed to do more good deeds for them to better build a closer relationship.

When you want to be friends with someone, it's sometimes easier to build a closer relationship by making you owe them a favor rather than making them owe you one.

He feels guilty for owing you a favor, but he might let it go once he repays the favor. However, if you owe him a favor, he doesn't feel guilty, and he'll take it for granted if you treat him to food and drinks.

After a few such exchanges, the relationship naturally becomes closer.

Sure enough, upon hearing Li Chuan's words, several of the seven couldn't help but lick their lips.

These cultivators spend most of their time cultivating in the mountains, where there is no fine wine or food. They mostly practice abstinence from grains, so it is a wonderful thing for them to occasionally descend the mountain and enter the mortal world to satisfy their appetites.

It's not that cultivators don't like to eat and drink; it's just that sometimes a meditation session lasts for ten days, half a month, or even several years, and they don't know how to cook, so fasting is more convenient.

"The seven of us are all lovers of wine. Normally, we would drink with Fellow Daoist Qingfeng for three days and three nights. But now, we have been invited by Fairy Lotus to go to Drunken Immortal Cliff to subdue demons."

"If Fellow Daoist Qingfeng doesn't mind, we will pay you another visit after the demon-slaying is over."

The eldest brother, Chu Yuxiang, thought for a moment and replied with an apologetic expression.

They naturally wanted to befriend a righteous cultivator like Li Qingfeng, who was both powerful and had a good personality, but unfortunately, they were busy and couldn't waste too much time on this.

Upon hearing this, Li Chuan's eyes immediately lit up:

"Exorcising demons? This is my first time leaving the mountain gate, and my knowledge is limited. I have never seen what a demon looks like. If it is not a disturbance, may I come along to broaden my horizons?"

Now, aside from cultivation, Li Qingfeng has mastered most of what he knows. All that's left is to spend time absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth to accumulate true essence. It won't be a problem if he does it sooner or later.

Now that we've encountered the Seven Sons of the Clouds subduing demons, why not join them and see what benefits we might gain? Besides, that Lotus Fairy is probably a well-known figure; it wouldn't be bad to make her acquaintance.

"No way, this is your first time leaving the mountain gate!"

Upon hearing Li Chuan's words, Shangguan Qian, who was ranked seventh, widened her eyes, and the other six also showed surprised expressions.

Based on Li Chuan's strength just now, he must have reached the Core Formation stage. Even with exceptional talent, he must have cultivated for at least seventy or eighty years. It's extremely rare for someone to descend the mountain for the first time after seventy or eighty years.

"It is indeed my first time venturing out of the mountain for training; it has been less than two months."

Li Chuan nodded honestly.

There's no need to lie about these things. He's Li Qingfeng now, so we'll just go by Li Qingfeng's situation.

"There's no question of disturbing you. Since Fellow Daoist Qingfeng wishes to travel together, that would be wonderful."

The eldest brother, Chu Yuxiang, agreed without much hesitation.
