Chapter 103: Li Li Xiaoyao Travel Great Perfection

"Hiss..."

A series of gasps came from the bed.

Luo Chen felt the clear, cool, numb, and itchy feeling in his body, only feeling quite comfortable.

Just now he poured a drop of the Deficiency-Filling Meridian-Moistening Liquid given by Hearing Mi Shuhua and drank it with a bowl of water.

Don't say, the effect is really quite good.

Under the blessing of the Spirit Eye Technique, he could faintly probe the repair of meridians deep in his body.

The speed is not fast, but it wins in stability.

"I don't know how many spirit stones such a bottle of spiritual medicine needs?"

Luo Chen sighed and put the medicine bottle away.

One drop a day, too much is as bad as too little.

It has to be said that the higher the realm, the more various auxiliary cultivation spiritual medicines are needed.

Like in the Qi Refining period, there is no need for many spiritual medicines; a bottle of Nourishing Qi Pills is enough to resist most elixirs.

On the contrary, Foundation Establishment cultivators who have laid the foundation of the Great Dao are all polishing themselves as much as possible in order to break through to Core Formation.

Even for small places like meridians and apertures, there are specialized spiritual medicines.

"Being able to enjoy these things now is really thanks to Hearing Mi Shuhua."

After sighing, Luo Chen began to plan the cultivation courses for the next month.

First of all, the Evergreen Scripture is best not to be cultivated in the short term.

Otherwise, every time spiritual energy is absorbed into the body from the outside, it is a setback to the meridians.

Other elixirs should still be able to be taken, but only a small amount.

Luo Chen currently has Nourishing Qi Pills exclusively sold by the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, and Jade Marrow Pills he refined himself.

The medicinal power of the former, accompanied by his advancement to the seventh level of Qi Refining, has become much worse than before.

It seems that the legendary drug resistance has appeared.

"Calculate carefully, I haven't taken Nourishing Qi Pills for more than fifty bottles, just a few hundred pills, and drug resistance appeared."

"So the legend that one thousand bottles of Nourishing Qi Pills can forge a Qi Refining Great Perfection is false."

"Of course, it also has to do with me never stopping taking them. If they were taken at intervals, perhaps drug resistance wouldn't have appeared so early?"

The medicinal power of Nourishing Qi Pills is not as good as before, and medium-grade Jade Marrow Pills only have half the medicinal power.

But drug resistance hasn't appeared yet, so it's okay to eat them when there's nothing to do.

However, Jade Marrow Pills have sequelae; taking too much will lead to dantian jade-ification, which must be kept in mind.

In this way, the cultivation speed for this month certainly won't go up.

But Luo Chen's Evergreen Scripture has reached Master level and has the effect of automatic qi recovery.

It is possible to invest energy into spells.

【Achievement Points: 24 points】

Not fully expanded for a long time, this time the attribute panel has changed slightly.

These worldly martial arts like Li Li Xiaoyao Travel are listed separately in a column called "Wu Gong."

This is not too strange; after all, these martial arts don't improve his combat power much, mainly providing achievement points.

In addition, there is an extra column 【Alchemy Technique】, which I think is related to his painstaking research on the "Qingyuan Elixir Explanation."

"Without realizing it, my achievement points have accumulated to 24 points; perhaps I can use them to try and learn a remnant pill recipe?"

Luo Chen thought of another elixir formula given to him by Hearing Mi Shuhua, the 'Tongyou Pill'.

That thing, after taking it, seems to be able to improve the foundation of the divine soul?

But after thinking carefully, Luo Chen decided to put it down first.

After all, the main materials for Tongyou Pill are a bit peculiar; if purchased in large quantities, it will inevitably attract others' attention.

Let's save these achievement points first!

Without consolidating his position, he still has to be careful when doing things.

Luo Chen's gaze fell on those spells and martial arts that were on the verge of upgrading.

Especially the Breath-Restraining Spirit Technique!

"This month, spend all the time practicing these spells!"

"If they all upgrade, whether it is for the improvement of my combat power or the accumulation of achievement points, it will be of great benefit."

On this day, behind Xieyue Valley.

Not deep in the primeval forest of the Xiaoyue Mountain Range, just in an open space nearby.

A figure was moving back and forth in the sky.

Sometimes rolling and moving, sometimes leaping several feet like an arrow from a bow.

Strength is inexhaustible; just as he is about to land like a falling leaf, new strength rises again, and he goes straight up with the wind.

Suddenly, the figure floated in mid-air, his eyes revealing a thoughtful look.

This worldly light-body martial art, Li Li Xiaoyao Travel, finally reached Great Perfection after half a month of diligent practice.

And the improvement brought by Great Perfection Li Li Xiaoyao Travel is the ability to perform internal qi circulation.

In other words, even when strength is exhausted, it can generate several strands of blood and qi, allowing him to fly in the world again.

If worldly light-body martial arts are the standard, then Li Li Xiaoyao Travel has undoubtedly reached the state of transformation.

It can allow mortals to fly for a short time.

However, with the premise of a spell like the Wind-Riding Technique, this very awesome effect seems dispensable.

"It was a white expectation."

Shaking his head, Luo Chen smiled freely.

"However, if you encounter a situation where spiritual power is exhausted, this light-body martial art can play an unexpected effect."

"And, it also provided me with an achievement point."

Thinking this way, he didn't feel he suffered much loss.

And Li Li Xiaoyao Travel Great Perfection also increased the speed of his Wind-Riding Technique by 30%.

Now his flying speed has completely exceeded that of late-stage Qi Refining cultivators driving magic tools to fly.

The small-scale shifting and moving were extremely varied, truly giving a sense of being carefree and roaming the void.

If the Wind

If nothing else, Luo Chen is about to max out the skill of running away.

On the way back, he no longer used Soaring Freedom, but used the Wind-Riding Art entirely for flight.

Proficiency is brushed up bit by bit under such daily habits.

Before long, he flew back to Xieyue Valley.

Just as he landed, he was called out by Murong Qinglian.

"Here, this was sent by the Gang Leader; see if it fits you?"

Looking at the pure white, fluffy coat without any mixed colors in his sister-in-law's hands, Luo Chen was somewhat surprised.

"The gang even issues clothes?"

While speaking, he put on the coat.

Murong Qinglian watched from the side, and a look of amazement couldn't help but appear in her eyes.

What a fine appearance!

A handsome young master, elegant and dashing.

Perhaps it was because he was injured, recently focused on practicing spells, and obsessed with alchemy, his temperament lacked some worldliness and had more tranquility and inaction.

Looking at him as a whole, he looks like both a royal noble and a disciple of a large sect.

"Didn't you suffer internal injuries when you broke through your realm? You usually can't stand the cold, so the Gang Leader had someone send this spirit fox coat."

"The climate here is mild, and winter comes slower than in other places, but it won't be long before it's very cold after the heavy snow seals the mountains."

"With this coat made of spirit fox fur, you don't need to constantly use spiritual power to maintain your temperature."

Listening to Murong Qinglian's nagging words, Luo Chen also felt quite warm.

Not just in his heart, but also on his body.

"The stitching is quite good! It's sewn densely; I didn't even notice it without looking closely. The material is also good; if a formation could be inscribed on it, I feel it wouldn't be inferior to a low-grade magic robe."

Luo Chen commented, and by the way, gave a like to Hearing Mi Shuhua who was not here.

The old man is thoughtful!

Murong Qinglian smiled and said: "The gang plans to start this business recently, utilizing the scattered animal skins brought back by the combat halls during hunting to sew coats; in winter, it's more or less a source of spirit stone income."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, for this business, my Medicine Hall and the Beast Hall argued endlessly."

Murong Qinglian glanced at the female cultivators in the valley and sighed: "There are many female cultivators in the Medicine Hall, and there aren't many medicinal herbs in winter, so we have to find something for them to do that has an income!"

"This coat of yours was actually sewn by the female cultivators of our Medicine Hall, but the fur was a complete spirit fox skin provided by the Gang Leader."

Luo Chen also fell silent for a moment.

He had also experienced the winter at Dahe Square, and those days were indeed hard to endure.

With heavy snow sealing the mountains, whether it was hunting in the mountains or digging for herbs and mining, everything was countless times more difficult.

Many loose cultivators simply couldn't survive such a winter; they either stopped practicing or left their homes to make a living in other warm squares.

How did he survive the winter back then?

The answer is to slack off!

Just relying on the Grain-Avoiding Powder he refined, he survived day by day, and there was no need to even talk about cultivation.

Thinking of those days, Luo Chen felt the warmth brought by the coat and thought for a moment:

"Sister-in-law, go ahead and fight for it; my Pill Hall will definitely support you. I will also communicate with Fellow Daoist Ceng and Brother Wang Yuan."

"Then thank you so much; in the future, if you need to clean this coat, you can also hand it over to the female cultivators of the Medicine Hall."

Murong Qinglian was all smiles; this was also the answer she wanted to hear.

After chatting for a few more sentences and setting the birthday banquet at the end of the month, Luo Chen hurried back to the Pill Hall.

It's also this time every day that he returns to the Pill Hall to be responsible for the pill refining work in the afternoon.

All the Jade Marrow Pills are done in the morning, and in the afternoon, it's mainly refining the Myriad Wonder Pills and a small amount of Grain-Avoiding Pills.

He still holds the pill recipe and secrets for the former, the Myriad Wonder Pills.

But for the latter, he has already taught it all.

There is no need for him to fully master such things that have no profit.

Instead, stepping away from these trivial matters will bring him a lot of free time.

"Mi Li, you are responsible for the large pill room today!"

"Tang Quan, you are responsible for the small pill room!"

"Everyone else, cooperate fully; I want to see how much you have improved during this period!"

Following the order, the young cultivators all became busy.

Luo Chen stood outside, his gaze falling on another abandoned pill room, frowning endlessly.

"Leaving a pill room empty is really too wasteful."

"Not only does it limit my brushing of proficiency, but it also leads to less pill output, and I have a share in that!"

"No, I must have Hearing Mi Shuhua buy a new pill furnace!"

He hadn't "fleeced the sheep" for a long time, and after putting on new clothes today, his heart became restless again.

For a moment, Luo Chen's hands were itching.

A small courtyard, a big world.

In the usually cold and lonely alley in the north of the city, it became lively starting from the afternoon.

People came and went, and various things were moved in from time to time.

Occasionally, residents would stop those coming in and out to ask, but they only got the news that someone was having a birthday.

They didn't know who it was specifically, and those little brothers from the Poshan Gang didn't say either.

However, when they left, they were all holding a large bamboo tube filled with freshly popped popcorn.

This is good stuff; it usually sells for one spirit stone a bucket at the White Stone Square.

It has to be our Hall Master who is generous.

One bucket for everyone who comes to help!

When Ceng Wen brought his nephew Tang Quan and finally found the courtyard entrance after many turns, it was already dusk.

"The Hall Master should earn quite a few spirit stones, so why does he live so far away?"

Tang Quan looked around curiously; if it were someone unfamiliar, they really wouldn't be able to find the way.

Ceng Wen slapped him, "You kid is in bliss but don't know it; Fellow Daoist Luo was a loose cultivator before, and it's already very good to have such a place to stay."

After speaking, he stared at Tang Quan, "Did you bring the gift I told you to bring?"

Tang Quan said aggrievedly: "I brought it, that incense burner is still good, but didn't the Hall Master say that there's no need to bring gifts?"

"Hey, you kid really don't understand things!" Ceng Wen taught him with a sense of "hate that iron won't become steel," "I didn't ask you to bring a very expensive gift, just a small thing to show your heart and pull the relationship closer. You will still be working under him in the future, maybe he will give you more pointers on alchemy."

While the two were talking, a young girl holding a large wine gourd looked at them curiously from the side.

Ceng Wen's eyes lit up; what a beautiful little beauty!

But unexpectedly, the girl bowed to him gently, "You must be Uncle Ceng Wen, right? My father often mentioned you before he passed away."

Father?

Before he passed away?

Looking at the familiar oval face of the girl, Ceng Wen couldn't help but ask: "Who is your father?"

"My father is Yuan Wuxiang, who also practiced in the Poshan Gang before, and had a title called 'Leaping Stream Tiger'."

Ceng Wen put away his lecherous gaze, coughed, and became dignified and solemn.

"It's Xiao Yue, my relationship with your father was indeed okay. But he often mentioned me, I'm afraid he was scolding me behind my back!"

Yuan Xiaoyue chuckled, and because she was holding the large gourd, she didn't hide her smile.

The large gourd was clearly in sight, Ceng Wen was curious, "What is this?"

"A birthday gift my grandfather asked me to send to Brother Luo Chen, fifty-year-old yellow pear wine. My father liked this vintage the most before he passed away, saying that the heavy snow that year pressed down on the border, the yellow pears were full of water, and the wine brewed was more mellow than other vintages."

"That kid Luo Chen is lucky."

Ceng Wen looked at the large gourd with envy, then turned around and slapped Tang Quan again.

"See, even a little girl knows to bring a gift, and you still need me to teach you!"

Tang Quan was aggrieved; others also have a grandfather to teach them!

Of course, Uncle Ceng Wen has no airs of the older generation, but he does have the airs of the grandfather generation.

As the three chatted and laughed, they stepped into the courtyard.

As soon as they entered, a warm and lively feeling rushed toward them.

I saw a huge table in the courtyard, filled with rich food.

There were also three copper pots, set in the front, middle, and back positions of the table.

Under the small copper pots were stoves burning charcoal, and most of the temperature in the courtyard came from this.

Before Ceng Wen had time to find acquaintances, Tang Quan ran over.

"Old Qu, why are you here? Is this your grandson?"

Qu Hancheng said with a smile: "The Hall Master learned that my injury had healed, so he asked me to come over for a simple meal."

After speaking, he pulled out the half-grown child behind him.

"Lingjun, meet your Uncle Tang Quan."

The half-grown child opened his rolling eyes, looked at Tang Quan curiously, and shouted in a low voice: "Hello, Uncle Tang Quan!"

Tang Quan found it fun, "It won't do for a child to be so shy, come, Uncle will take you to play!"

Seeing Tang Quan holding his little grandson and flying around, the child was so scared that he cried loudly.

Qu Hancheng instead showed a smile.

He was incompetent, and the son he gave birth to had no spiritual roots.

It was the son and daughter-in-law who worked hard and gave birth to three cubs, and finally had spiritual roots in Qu Lingjun.

Although it is still the four spiritual roots that large sects look down upon, there is finally a foundation for cultivation.

Now that he can let him get to know these Qi Refining cultivators, his future path can go more smoothly.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Hall Master Luo Chen for giving him this opportunity.

His gaze fell on the few female cultivators whispering in the courtyard, Ceng Wen who was showing off in front of Murong Qinglian and then being beaten up by Qin Liangchen, and the young male cultivator sitting on the threshold with a cold expression.

These are basically great cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining!

Without realizing it, Hall Master Luo Chen's private circle already has such strength.

Well, I can't be idle either, I have to help more, I didn't come here today to eat for free!

Inside the house, Luo Chen, who was boiling the soup base, looked helplessly at the gifts that were sent in again.

"I already said, just come empty-handed; today is mainly to gather with everyone and have a good meal."

Ceng Wen rubbed the big bump on his head while stuffing a book into Luo Chen's arms.

"Take it or leave it, I was just afraid this thing would spoil Tang Quan, otherwise I wouldn't want to give it to you."

Luo Chen was stunned, and when he saw the corner of the book, the corner of his mouth twitched.

"What do you take me for? I am not..."

"Alright, alright, I know you are not that kind of person, I won't give it to you next time."

Ceng Wen waved his hand and went out, clearly not believing Luo Chen's rhetoric.

In his view, Fellow Daoist Luo is a person of his own kind!

Luo Chen quietly put the enlightenment reading material into his storage bag.

This kind of thing must be criticized thoroughly when the night is deep and quiet!

Speaking of which, although he had already greeted them, the guests who came today all brought some gifts more or less.

They were not particularly precious, but they all carried a bit of heart.

Yuan Xiaoyue's fifty-year-old yellow pear wine, Tang Quan's incense burner, Bai Meiling's pot of strange flowers, Feng Xia's handful of seeds, Duan Feng's little secret for maintaining magic tools.

Brother Wang Yuan also came over just now, bringing Luo Chen a bottle of special pill from Taishan Square—Golden Quality Jade Liquid.

It is said that applying it all year round is very good for body refining.

Brother Qin and his wife also gave him a folding fan; although it was only a low-grade magic tool, the appearance was excellent!

Luo Chen complained about sending a fan when winter is coming, but after learning from his sister-in-law that it was personally selected by Brother Qin, he couldn't say anything.

Back in the days when he was a sparring partner in the Trial Palace every day, he had casually said a few words about the cultivation style of flying with a sword and holding a white folding fan.

But he didn't expect Brother Qin to keep it in his heart.

Only Gu Caiyi, under Luo Chen's instructions, did not give him any gifts.

After all, the two are so familiar, giving gifts is strange and distant.

Keeping these little gifts in his heart one by one, Luo Chen's movements in boiling the soup base became more powerful.

This is the first formal birthday he has organized since he crossed over, proving that he has finally settled down completely in this strange world.

He must let everyone eat and drink well!

Several moonstones were placed around the courtyard, and together with the bright moonlight, they illuminated the courtyard as bright as day.

Steaming soup pots, a dozen stir-fried dishes with color, aroma, and taste, and several cold dishes.

Besides that, the fairy beans and popcorn stir-fried by Luo Chen were also placed in every corner.

A total of twelve people sat at a full table.

The fine wine was poured, and they drank this cup to the full.

Under the greeting of Luo Chen and Ceng Wen, the two old oil-slickers, the atmosphere suddenly rose.

Everyone chatted about various strange things inside and outside Dahe Square, and even Wang Yuan, who was usually taciturn, told an interesting story about Taishan Square.

It is said that a teenager from a local cultivation family joined a Core Formation sect in the Yuding Domain.

He accidentally broke into the sect's secret place and stole a look at the Sect Master's daughter taking a bath; he thought he would soar to greatness from then on, and that family even prepared the betrothal gifts.

As a result, the Sect Master's daughter was unwilling and even invited the Elders to destroy that family.

It was originally a tragedy of a broken family, but because there were some erotic elements in it, and it was told from Wang Yuan's mouth, it was inexplicably a bit funny.

Halfway through drinking, Ceng Wen felt it was not lively enough, so he took the lead in playing the drinking game.

Others were not timid, and Duan Feng, who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, also showed a little bit.

When it came to Luo Chen, he was embarrassed instead.

"I don't know how!"

"Did I cross over to cultivate immortals? Why do I still have to do literary plagiarism?"

Having no choice, he took a big drink.

Seeing his embarrassment, Gu Caiyi took over the conversation and said she wanted to offer a dance to everyone.

Everyone applauded!

Gu Caiyi was not coy either; she winked at Luo Chen, then her sleeves flew, and she leaped into the sky above the courtyard.

The Stunning Dance that amazed everyone on the Dao Discussion Platform back then reappeared in the world.

Luo Chen watched, mesmerized; he understood the meaning of that glance, and this dance was his birthday gift.

When he first moved into the courtyard, he said he wanted to see her dance in private, but he never saw it.

Now he has fulfilled his wish, although others are watching too.

Ceng Wen on the side shouted that it was a pity, saying that there is no such dance posture in the Tianxiang Building anymore.

"Having been in the gang for a long time, this dance art has become unfamiliar."

After landing, Gu Caiyi smiled reservedly, but the applause clearly did not agree with her humble words.

Ceng Wen wanted to restart the drinking game, but everyone was tired of playing, so they suggested changing to another way of playing.

This couldn't stump Ceng Wen, who had been roaming the wind and moon scenes for years; he turned around and took out a small pot and a handful of arrows.

"Let's play pitch-pot!"

"What's fun about this kind of trick? It can't stump us practitioners."

"No, no, no, you underestimate pitch-pot." Ceng Wen spoke eloquently, "Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot use spiritual sense when playing pitch-pot, and Qi Refining cultivators cannot use spiritual power."

"And this small pot is actually a mid-grade defensive magic tool with a formation inside. If your eyesight is not good and your strength is not enough, you can't throw it in!"

Once said like this, everyone became interested.

They picked up the arrows one after another and threw them inside.

Those who lose have to drink.

Of course, this game was forbidden for Wang Yuan to participate in after he showed a hand casually.

Body refiners playing pitch-pot is cheating!

In such a happy atmosphere, someone said something.

"It's snowing!"

Everyone stopped playing pitch-pot, stopped talking to each other, and looked up at the sky.

Under the night sky, crystal-clear hexagonal snowflakes drifted down.

"I don't know how many loose cultivators will die in Dahe Square this year."

"Sigh, let fate decide!"
