章 147: Chapter 147: Five Years

"You look so… different? You look more mysterious," Ma Chen said.

That was probably because of my newfound powers in the Golden Core realm. Ma Chen was a Late Foundation Establishment cultivator, so he could feel I was different.

"You think so? Imagine when you see my Sect."

Ma Chen was startled, "Your Sect? Really? You are a Patriarch?"

I noticed his gaze. He was proud of me. Ma Chen was the first Elder I met and the one I befriended in the Flying Sword Lotus Sect—a trustworthy person responsible for my wanting to learn alchemy.

"That's my island right there," I said, pointing at the Mirage Island.

We soon reached the Sect, and many disciples stared at us from the ground, curious who was the person with me. They probably thought, 'Our Patriarch appears with new people weekly.'

The Sect's main building shocked Ma Chen, and he calmed down only after we arrived at my office on the last floor.
