Chapter 116: Civil war among demon wolves, Burning Blood Pill recipe

After confirming that fighting had no great spirit power refinement effect for seventh-level Qi Refining cultivators, Luo Chen didn't pay much attention to this matter.

For the next period of time, he basically stayed in the Alchemy Hall.

Refining pills, cultivating, reading books, and digging tunnels.

Yes, digging tunnels!

After spending half a month, he forcibly dug a tunnel leading to the Xiaoyue Mountains.

For this, he wasted a first-grade low-grade flying sword, and even the auxiliary Mountain-Breaking Tablet-Breaking Palm was brushed to the master level.

Don't say, the master-level Mountain-Breaking Tablet-Breaking Palm was really quite awesome.

After hitting a palm out, the spirit power was thick and condensed.

Except for the slightly short distance, only ten zhang, there were almost no shortcomings.

The power of one palm was almost not inferior to a strike from a high-grade magic tool.

"No wonder when Brother Wang sold this book back then, it was copied and resold in a short time."

"It really has its merits!"

Luo Chen chuckled, and the joy was not just this.

Usually, in battles between cultivators, unless it was a special environment limited by the Dao Discussion Platform, the distance between each other would be pulled very far.

A distance of ten zhang was hard to hit anyone.

Whose magic tool couldn't fly a hundred meters to kill someone!

What he was happy about was that this set of palm techniques provided him with four achievement points from beginning to end, and after reaching Great Perfection, it could provide another achievement point.

Between light laughs, Luo Chen spat out a little spirit power and broke the last rock wall in front of him.

A refreshing night mountain breeze surged in.

Luo Chen stepped out of the tunnel entrance and looked down.

The pale moonlight spilled down from the night sky, illuminating the already silvery-white forest and snow-covered ground as if it were broad daylight.

The position he was in was on a hillside.

The star-silver ore of Xieyue Valley actually extended to the interior area of the Xiaoyue Mountains.

Perhaps it was still very, very far from the core area, but this place was already a place that cultivators rarely set foot in.

Suddenly, Luo Chen retracted into the cave.

The Concealment Spirit Technique was fully activated!

"Aowu!!!"

Some were sorrowful, some were desolate.

And in the middle of this night, this sound was so creepy!

"Second-grade demon wolf!"

Luo Chen was as stiff as a withered tree, trying his best to restrain his blood energy fluctuations, and even his spirit power was restrained to the extreme.

This was the master-level Concealment Spirit Technique he had practiced for several months.

Occasionally disguising his realm, even cultivators like Gu Caiyi at the ninth level of Qi Refining couldn't see through it.

But he didn't have any confidence in whether he could deceive a second-grade spirit beast.

"The path of life, don't become a path of death!"

Luo Chen's mind was tense, quietly listening to the movement outside.

As that wolf howl sounded, one after another wolf howls rang out in the nearby mountains, one after another.

At first listen, there was a sense of thousands upon thousands.

Dahe Market was close to the million-strong Great Mountains of the Eastern Wilderness, but the places cultivators went to the most were the Guyuan Mountains.

As for this Xiaoyue Mountain range, which was equally rich in resources and had hundreds of continuous mountains, not many cultivators dared to set foot in it.

The main reason was that there were not many other spirit beasts in this mountain range; most of them were of the demon wolf clan.

Just in the short while he was squatting here, he heard at least a dozen powerful and thick sounds like that first wolf howl.

This meant that just in these few mountains nearby, there were more than a dozen second-grade demon wolves.

And if it expanded to the entire Xiaoyue Mountain range, the number of second-grade demon wolves would reach a terrifying level.

After a while, the wolf howls almost didn't weaken, and even became more intense.

A smell of blood suddenly reached the edge of Luo Chen's nose.

"Not right!"

Luo Chen's expression moved slightly, and he quietly stepped out of the tunnel entrance.

His eyes moved slightly.

The Spirit Eye Technique rooted in his eyes, even without casting a spell, could be automatically activated.

In this way, it wouldn't break the effect of the Concealment Spirit Technique because of casting spirit power.

Under the gaze of his pair of agile eyes, a scene a thousand meters away made him shocked.

"That is, fighting?"

A gray-leaf wolf was fighting crazily with a frost wolf.

Although they were only first-grade spirit beasts, because of the crazy life-and-death battle, it presented an atmosphere far more tragic than on the Dao Discussion Platform.

The final result of the battle ended with the defeat of the gray-leaf wolf.

It was currently near the end of winter, and the frost wolf clan occupied the right time and place, even though the gray-leaf wolf was an extremely strong existence among first-grade spirit beasts.

But it didn't win against the frost wolf of the same rank.

Luo Chen swallowed his saliva, his gaze scanning everywhere.

Just in this mountain, there were at least several hundred battle groups.

Some, like the one he just saw, only had one or two wolves fighting.

Many, even had hundreds of demon wolves fighting in a melee.

And in the distance, there were even spirit power fluctuations of second-grade demon wolves, terrifyingly radiating.

Looking at the corpses of several demon wolves on the ground that had lost their vitality, Luo Chen resisted the urge to pick up the corpses.

He quietly moved a huge rock and blocked this tunnel entrance.

Then he kept walking back.

This place, must not stay long!

Along the way, using huge rocks to block the tunnel, until he returned to below Xieyue Valley, Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Withdrawing the Concealment Spirit Technique, Luo Chen thought about the strange scene just now.

Both being demon wolves, why did they have to kill each other?

Could it be just because the internal ethnic groups were different? So the gray-leaf wolf and the frost wolf were irreconcilable?

No, it couldn't just be like that.

The wolf clan in the Xiaoyue Mountains had as many as a dozen types.

If they really did this every day, they would have been hurt, and this area wouldn't have become a forbidden area for human cultivators.

Inexplicably, a picture appeared in Luo Chen's mind.

When he was still living in the small courtyard in the outer city, he had met several cultivators who had escaped from the Xiaoyue Mountains.

One of them, named "Hui Niang," kindly reminded him that the area near the Xiaoyue Mountains was not very safe and told him to move early.

In other words, the abnormal situation in the Xiaoyue Mountains had already appeared as early as the beginning of last summer.

"Forget it, investigating this matter has nothing to do with me."

"If there really are spirit beasts attacking the market, there will be someone taller to hold it up; I just need to run faster than others."

Regarding the speed of running away, Luo Chen had some insights!

Casting a Cleaning Technique, Luo Chen prepared to remove the dust from his body.

However, the habitual action of casting the spell turned into a flick of his hand by some strange coincidence.

With one flick, the dust was gone, and not only that, a special smell was also washed away.

Smelling that smell, Luo Chen was stunned.

"Demon energy?"

He thought of the tragic scene of the demon wolf group fighting just now; he had actually unknowingly stained a trace of demon energy.

"No, can't the Cleaning Technique only wash away filth?"

He quickly clicked on the attribute panel.

Only to see that in the Cleaning Technique column, it was shining with a faint light.

That was a special short-term display that only appeared after the proficiency broke through the level.

"The Cleaning Technique has reached the master level!"

Luo Chen suddenly realized that unknowingly, the Cleaning Technique he used the least had also reached the master level.

The specific effect of the master-level Cleaning Technique, Luo Chen had also tested just now.

On the basis of cleaning filth, it added the effect of washing away exotic aura.

As long as it was an aura that didn't belong to his own body, it could be cleared.

"Demon energy can be cleaned, so what about blood energy, evil energy, yin energy, and even the pill energy and medicinal energy I have carried for years of refining pills? Can they be washed away?"

"Also, what about other people's spirit power?"

In an instant, Luo Chen thought of where the master-level Cleaning Technique might be used.

If even the spirit power applied by a cultivator could be washed away.

Then in the future, if he encountered an enemy's spirit power mark, he would have a good response effect.

Without a test subject, Luo Chen tried to clear the complex medicinal energy he had carried from years of refining pills.

Qi Refining cultivators were still "people" and had not undergone the leap in the essence of life after Foundation Establishment.

Therefore, often coming into contact with certain things would stain them with a smell.

Luo Chen's medicinal energy, pill energy, the fishy smell of animal skin on Old Man Chen—these smells, even if he bathed frequently, were more or less retained.

The principle was about the same as the smells on doctors, fishmongers, and car mechanics on Earth that wouldn't dissipate for a long time.

A casual flick.

Huo!

Don't say, it really could!

A group of strange gas, like beef jerky being torn open, was peeled off from Luo Chen's body.

Smelling it carefully, it was filled with bitter, sweet, burnt, fragrant, and other kinds of tastes.

Mixed together, it was vaguely uncomfortable.

Luo Chen was startled; when did he condense such a smell on his body? Wasn't that being pickled?

He didn't know if others could smell this smell when he was with them before.

People were such strange animals; when they first arrived at a fresh place, as long as there was a little strange smell, they would be very sensitive.

But if they were in a very smelly place for a long time, they would get used to it themselves, but they would almost not notice it.

Luo Chen himself didn't know that he actually had such a complex medicinal smell on him.

"Maybe it was because I processed too many medicinal materials when I refined pills before, and I stained it unknowingly!"

Luo Chen was a bit hesitant, whether to cast the Cleaning Technique again to remove the pill energy he could vaguely smell now.

Between his nose sniffing, he could roughly figure out what kind of smell was on him now.

Mellow and light, like jade and fire.

A bit contradictory, but a bit pleasant to smell.

It should be the two graded pills, Zhongmiao Pill and Jade Marrow Pill, that had accumulated over time.

Suddenly, Luo Chen smelled a feeling of discomfort.

His fingers touched his shoulder.

There, there seemed to be a trace of spirit power that didn't belong to him.

Very subtle, very subtle; under the habit of many years, he almost didn't notice it.

If it weren't for the contrast after clearing the demon energy and medicinal energy, plus quiet sniffing, he almost wouldn't have discovered it.

At this moment, focusing on sniffing, plus the active casting of the Spirit Eye Technique, and even concentrating his mind, he discovered the source.

That was a trace of spirit power refined to the extreme!

And he was even a bit familiar with this spirit power!

"Hearing Mi Shuhua!"

Hearing Mi Shuhua!

Luo Chen knew that the other party valued him very much, almost to the point of exceeding his direct relatives.

As long as he could continuously create benefits for him, he wouldn't allow Luo Chen to have any loss.

This point could be seen from the five bodyguards, Zhou Yuanli and others.

Was it protection, or was it surveillance?

But Luo Chen didn't expect Hearing Mi Shuhua to leave means on him.

Luo Chen was very sure that this trace of spirit power was definitely not something he accidentally stained.

He hadn't reached such an intimate level with that old man.

And the refinement degree of this spirit power almost far exceeded the fluctuation intensity shown by a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator.

This was undoubtedly Hearing Mi Shuhua's spirit power after extreme refinement, which was then slapped onto his shoulder by some means.

With this trace of spirit power, as long as Luo Chen didn't run to the ends of the earth, Hearing Mi Shuhua could find him by following the induction.

Even if he had concealment means like Shan Xiu, he probably couldn't hide.

Moreover, Luo Chen had a feeling.

If this trace of spirit power were to explode, it could almost instantly destroy any Qi Refining stage cultivator.

"No wonder he never restricted my free movement."

This time, Luo Chen revealed a bitter smile from the bottom of his heart.

His palm slid down naturally from his shoulder.

He didn't try to clear this trace of spirit power.

Once removed, Hearing Mi Shuhua would probably be able to sense it.

Relying on the speed of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Luo Chen might be able to escape for a while.

But Hearing Mi Shuhua was not an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator; he had a magic treasure that had just arrived, and the speed of that escape was something Luo Chen had witnessed a glimpse of back then.

Moreover, escape?

"Why should I escape!"

He still had to rely on the manpower and material resources of the Poshan Gang to cultivate.

And Hearing Mi Shuhua watching him was something he had expected.

This trace of spirit power was just another layer of insurance besides bodyguards like Zhou Yuanli.

Most importantly, Luo Chen now had the means to clear this trace of spirit power in a short time!

The master-level Cleaning Technique, if driven by the spirit power in his body without any means, could completely peel off this attached spirit power.

Foundation Establishment cultivators were very powerful, but they were not extremely terrifying.

Spirit power, once it left the body, was like duckweed without roots.

If the distance was too far and the time was too long, it would gradually dissipate.

Hearing Mi Shuhua wasn't that powerful yet, able to explode this trace of spirit power from a hundred miles away.

"Let it stay on my body!"

"In this way, Hearing Mi Shuhua will be more at ease with me, and his tolerance will be even higher, which is convenient for me to better leech wool in the future."

"Before the time comes to tear his face, he will always hold a tactical contempt for me."

Thinking through these things, the feeling of having a fishbone in his throat dissipated a lot.

Loose cultivators!

That's how it is!

He returned to the Alchemy Hall above leisurely, as if he had forgotten about the civil war of the demon wolf group and the Foundation Establishment cultivator secretly applying means.

Instead, he leisurely took out an animal skin and looked at it.

If Wang Yuan were here, he would be very familiar with it; that animal skin was handed to Luo Chen by him back then.

It recorded a second-grade pill recipe that was very important to him.

Time had passed for a long time.

This pill recipe was obtained just when he had just become the Alchemy Hall Master.

Carefully calculating, it had been more than half a year.

From midsummer to autumn, and even the cold winter was about to pass.

Unknowingly, time flies like an arrow!

For a moment, Luo Chen really had the vicissitudes of a cultivator watching the changes of time.

Luo Chen sighed, looking at the animal skin seriously, and occasionally took out paper and pen to write and draw on another small notebook.

That small notebook was what he used to record alchemy insights on ordinary days.

Occasionally, if he had any insights, or new processing methods for a medicinal material, he would record them on it.

It had to be said that this habit was cultivated after he read "Qingyuan Pill Interpretation."

That "Qingyuan Pill Interpretation" had many whimsical ideas from Qingyuanzi.

Such as the Jade-Folding Hand, the Pure-Heart Hand, all were alchemy techniques accumulated by Qingyuanzi bit by bit.

Now, he also had this habit.

However, the part of the paper he was writing on now recorded all the contents related to the Blood Evil Pill recipe.

【Cultivator essence and blood cannot be taken; how about replacing it with demon beast blood?】

【What kind of demon beast blood should be used?】

【Or should it be close to the human body's meridians? Monkey? Ape? The legendary hairy man? Or the Wuji demon beast circulating in the Eastern Wilderness?】

【Yellow Spring Yin Evil is too scarce; what if it is replaced with a second-class, and common Earth Fire Evil?】

【Earth Fire Evil and Yellow Spring Yin Evil have opposite attributes and cannot be used, but the idea can be retained. Heavenly Water Yin Evil, perhaps it can work.】

【Purple River Car is one of the three main materials, in order to take a trace of residual innate energy. This is easy to solve; there are many medicinal herbs containing innate energy, which can be practiced one by one.】

On the small notebook, many things were recorded.

Either a flash of inspiration or deep thought.

Almost the entire pill recipe involving the demonic path, blood path, and rare medicinal materials was considered.

Either replaced or abandoned, all kinds of things were not exhaustive.

For the pill recipe that Wang Yuan cherished, Luo Chen never perfunctorily dealt with it.

That "Brother Wang" of his ordinary days was not called in vain.

Between the two, they could be considered to have shared adversity.

When Wang Yuan was down and out, he reached out to help.

When he himself was seriously injured and obtained a storage bag of "high cost," Wang Yuan didn't take advantage of his precarious position.

He even gave a lot of help and gave him some care.

As long as that "Six Regions Customs Record" was still on Luo Chen, the relationship between the two would not reach the end of the road.

This kind of tacit understanding, even if there was no communication on ordinary days, both of them knew it well.

Luo Chen valued this friendship very much, so he didn't mind helping Wang Yuan when he was capable.

After more than half a year of research, Luo Chen had some insights into this Blood Evil Pill recipe.

There were several improved pill recipes.

And with the convenience of the Alchemy Hall, he had even practiced it occasionally.

But most of them failed.

Occasionally successful ones only confirmed the effect of a certain auxiliary material.

What Luo Chen really cared about was the feedback from the system.

When the sky brightened, Luo Chen replaced another main material, and after feeling that the pill recipe had almost no flaws, he tried to use the system to enter.

Now, his achievement points had broken through the thirty mark after the Concealment Spirit Technique, Cleaning Technique, Mountain-Breaking Tablet-Breaking Palm, and Jade Marrow Pill all reached master-level proficiency.

Luo Chen didn't dare to use it to deduce the incomplete pill recipe; he didn't know how much he would have to invest to deduce a complete pill recipe.

If it was a bottomless pit, it would be a loss.

But if it was a pill recipe he had studied well, he could use the system's feedback to determine if it was complete.

【Blood Evil Pill incomplete recipe... first-grade Burning Blood Pill, can enter】

Looking at this prompt, Luo Chen couldn't help but be stunned.

What I want to enter is a pill that can be used for cultivation!

How does this renamed "Burning Blood Pill" look like a proper pill!

Luo Chen paused the entry and carefully examined the improved pill recipe this time.

It used first-grade explosive ape demon blood, Earth Fire Evil, and Yun Tianyang Fruit as main materials.

His original intention was to avoid main materials with yin attributes, go the opposite way, and deduce a cultivation pill recipe with yang attributes.

Even if it was first-grade, it should be enough to support Wang Yuan's cultivation.

But the result was such a thing as the Burning Blood Pill.

"What effect will this thing have if eaten?"

Inexplicably, Luo Chen thought of the many immortal cultivation novels and martial arts novels he had read in his previous life.

Something like the Heavenly Demon Dissolution Great Law, Burning Blood Escape Technique, etc.

Wouldn't the Burning Blood Pill also have a similar effect?

Luo Chen was a bit hesitant, whether to enter this pill recipe.

Really calculating, the number of pill recipes in his hands now was not small.

But besides the Zhongmiao Pill and Jade Marrow Pill, the others were incomplete pill recipes.

Tongyou Pill was incomplete, second-grade Yulu Pill was incomplete.

The Blood Evil Pill recipe was complete, but among the main materials, as long as he dared to have ideas about collecting them, he would wait to have his head taken by Yuding sword cultivators from ten thousand miles away!

In other words, besides the Zhongmiao Pill and Jade Marrow Pill, Luo Chen didn't actually have a complete pill recipe that could be directly entered.

Now there was an extra first-grade pill recipe he had improved, and he couldn't help but be eager to try.

Explosive ape blood was very easy to collect.

Over at the Guyuan Mountains, there were many ape-type spirit beasts, and the explosive ape clan was spread over several mountains.

Earth Fire Evil was also very easy to buy; whether it was Wanbao Tower, Spirit Source Studio, or Immortal Building, they all sold it.

Yun Tianyang Fruit, this thing was sold by the catty at the Hundred Herbs Hall.

Because Yun Tianyang Fruit contained a trace of innate energy, for Qi Refining cultivators, it was a small supplement.

Even if eaten directly, it belonged to the category of the more the better.

When he lived in the Sihe Academy before, Gu Caiyi often brought a few back when she got off work.

Luo Chen also had the luck to eat a few; the taste, well, very choking, very stimulating!

As for the many improved auxiliary materials, with the channels of the Poshan Gang, plus the replenishment of the Medicine Hall, it was not a problem.

"No, this pill recipe cannot let the Poshan Gang know."

"The Jade Marrow Pill is already enough to raise my status and importance; one more type of pill is just icing on the cake, and even exposes my true alchemy strength."

Luo Chen thought for a while and decided to enter.

What effect the Burning Blood Pill had, he would know after refining it.

And in the world, there were never useless pills, only useless cultivators who didn't use them in the right place.

That kind of niche pill like the Zhongmiao Pill had a certain market.

This first-grade pill deduced from a second-grade pill recipe, how could it be worse than the Zhongmiao Pill!

However, in refining, Luo Chen decided not to borrow the hands of the Poshan Gang.

"It seems that next, I have to take time to secretly collect the raw materials for the Burning Blood Pill."

Luo Chen's gaze flickered, thinking about how he could buy what he wanted without attracting attention. ===== CHAPTER 117 =====
