Immortal Palace of Eternal Life

Chapter 657: Cloth-Clad Alliance ๐Ÿ‘•

Published: March 3, 2025

"Farewell, Guo will visit again soon!"

Guo Poyun cupped his hands, his words carrying a deep meaning.

"Daoist Guo, please take care, we will be ready to welcome you at any time!"

Liu Yu smiled as he personally escorted him out of the cave dwelling, watching him leave until he was out of sight.

As he gazed at Guo Poyun's departing figure, his expression gradually deepened until he completely vanished from view, at which point he turned and returned to the pavilion.

After their somewhat formal exchange, Liu Yu learned about the organization behind Guo Poyun, called the "Cloth-Clad Alliance."

It was a relatively powerful loose cultivator organization with quite a reputation among loose cultivators.

He had also inadvertently revealed that there was more than one yuan ying true monarch within the "Cloth-Clad Alliance."

Since there was an intention to join, Liu Yu would of course collect relevant information during this time.

Based on what he gathered, the "Cloth-Clad Alliance" indeed had deep roots in Jiangzhou.

Although it was still not comparable to the sect and aristocratic families, it had managed to secure a foothold and had bargaining power.

"I wonder if this person will bring what Liu wants next time?"

As he tidied up the tea set, various thoughts ran through Liu Yu's mind.

As a prerequisite for joining, he had proposed two conditions that he would consider only if the other party's organization could meet them.

The first was to help gather the spiritual herbs needed to refine the "Soul Condensing Elixir."

Even if he stayed in the Divine Capital City, the spiritual herbs beneficial to the Primordial Spirit that he lacked would still take a considerable amount of time to collect.

Therefore, he brought this up at the opportune moment.

The strength of the Primordial Spirit had a significant impact on fragmented core birth, and naturally, the sooner it could be refined, the better.

To prevent the formula from leaking, Liu Yu added a few extra third-tier spiritual herbs into the mix, ensuring that there was no worry about the formula being exposed.

The second condition was a spiritual consciousness cultivation technique, requiring it to at least allow cultivation to the yuan ying realm.

Like the "qingyang skill," the "art of spirit preservation" was also incomplete, stopping at the golden core realm.

Fortunately, he had the overall technique in hand, and as long as he gathered enough information, he could deduce it through the Immortal Abode.

There was even a possibility that it could become better than the original technique.

As for the "qingyang skill" being a fundamental cultivation technique, Liu Yu did not want to reveal this information easily for fear of being grasped by the "Cloth-Clad Alliance."

For now, he still wanted to try finding it himself, and only seek other avenues if it was absolutely necessary.

"Tap tap."

Seeing Guo Poyun leave, Zhuo Mengzhen quickly stepped forward to help tidy up the tea set while asking:

"How did it go?"

She only had the cultivation of a Golden Core Mid Stage and did not consider herself qualified to negotiate with the other party's organization, so she took her cues from Liu Yu.

"Cloth-Clad Alliance."

Liu Yu pondered for a moment before slowly speaking about the Cloth-Clad Alliance.

Although loose cultivators would encounter suppression from the Qian Court, sects, and aristocratic families once they reached a certain level, making it difficult to obtain rare resources for higher-level cultivation, especially strategic resources like the Golden Core Pill and Nurturing Infancy Pill,

the Central Domain was vast and rich in cultivating immortality resources, with the number of loose cultivators far exceeding Tian Nan.

Among such a large base, there would always be a few "lucky ones" capable of fragmented core birth or even transcending into the void.

Thus, there were quite a few loose cultivator organizations in the Central Domain, though most did not amount to much.

Based on their attitudes toward sects and aristocratic families, all loose cultivator organizations could be roughly divided into two factions.
