Chapter 151: You brat, how dare you deceive me like this!

Luo Chen had indeed guessed correctly.

When he first participated in the Zhenlong Black Market, the black market master, in order to curry favor with him, had specifically sent a Wang-surnamed cultivator who guarded the gate to give him a piece of advice.

Among other things, it mentioned that the Beijie Third Alley, Seven Star Slope, the mass grave, and the main road back to the inner city were the places most prone to ambushes by bandit cultivators after the black market ended.

Luo Chen had participated in the ambush by Qiu Bai against the Sima trio in the Beijie Third Alley.

Therefore, he had subconsciously chosen this side as his ambush point.

But that did not mean he hadn't made preparations for the other few locations.

When Luo Chen and Wang Yuan arrived, three black-clad, masked cultivators were already launching an attack on a black-robed cultivator.

The shouting and hollering, mixed with the surging spiritual light, were quite ear-piercing.

"Black-robed coat, immature fake voice, that's right, it's him."

"My blood-Qi sensing is also on him," Wang Yuan confirmed again.

Luo Chen watched the battle over there for a while, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Liu Qiang didn't join forces with Zhou Yuanli, and his strength is not at the ninth level of Qi Refining. With three eighth-level Qi Refining cultivators surrounding him, they still can't force out this person's trump card."

"Brother Wang, I'll have to trouble you."

Whoosh!

The linen long robe rustled in the night wind, and a long iron staff appeared in that thick, heavy hand.

Wang Yuan nodded at Luo Chen, gripped the long staff, and suddenly charged out.

"I opened this slope, I planted these trees; if you want to pass through this road, leave behind your life-buying money!"

A rough voice, disguised, rang out.

Following that, a heaven-startling staff shadow suddenly smashed down.

Luo Chen, behind him, twitched the corner of his mouth; Brother Wang was quite humorous!

However, what he felt was humorous, in the eyes of others, was completely not the case.

Seeing that heaven-startling staff shadow, Liu Qiang, one of the three black-clad masked cultivators, had his expression change slightly.

"Retreat!"

Without hesitation, the three cultivators from the Luo Tian Society's Battle Hall immediately withdrew from their surrounding formation, leaving only that black-robed cultivator to face Wang Yuan's heaven-startling staff strike alone.

The black-robed cultivator's expression was horrified, and he immediately sacrificed a handkerchief magic tool.

"Cultivator of the Dahe, how unreasonable!"

The immature fake voice was gone, replaced by a delicate, charming voice.

When the heaven-startling staff shadow was softly and gently wrapped by that handkerchief magic tool, all its momentum slowly dissipated.

Amidst the howling wind, the black robe was blown open, revealing a glimpse of the curvaceous figure within.

"Eh!"

Wang Yuan gave a light 'eh'; it wasn't because of the opponent's identity as a female cultivator, but because her combat experience was unexpectedly so rich.

Even though this iron staff was not the top-grade magic tool long saber he usually liked to use, as a Wu Gong grandmaster, he was proficient in all eighteen types of weapons.

With a single strike, it was incomparably fierce and fierce.

He had originally intended to directly force out the blood talisman in the opponent's hand.

Yet he hadn't expected the opponent to make the most correct response in an instant.

Overcoming hardness with softness!

However, that was all there was to it.

With his two fingers pointing continuously, Wang Yuan seemed to have grabbed the tail end of the iron staff; amidst continuous light taps, the long staff shook its head and wagged its tail, pointing out continuously.

"Pointing at the Mountains and Rivers!"

In an instant, the long staff transformed into dozens of staff shadows, poking out in an overwhelming manner.

Each staff shadow had the momentum of almost the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The black-robed female cultivator's expression changed drastically, and the handkerchief magic tool flew to her side, protecting her tightly.

Not only that, but from the crystalline long sword in her hand, snowflakes drifted out.

Each one met each staff shadow just right.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The snowflakes exploded, and the Qi energy shattered.

The black-robed female cultivator appeared precarious, but every explosion of a snowflake represented the disappearance of a staff shadow.

She had actually blocked it.

Wang Yuan's eyes lit up; after his body refining reached the second realm, although his new methods hadn't increased much.

But the power of some of his previously common methods had increased a lot.

Yet he hadn't expected this woman to have caught them all.

And, she had used the most correct way of responding.

"What a pity..."

Wang Yuan sighed inwardly, reached out to summon, and grasped the long staff in the void.

"Gather!"

The next moment, all the shattered staff shadows, as if time were flowing backward, continuously recovered.

And under the control of the strange Qi energy, they continuously closed in.

A long staff, fully dozens of feet long, stood tall in the night sky above Seven Star Slope.

The black-robed female cultivator looked at this scene in horror, feeling her scalp go numb and her soul flying away.

"What kind of method is this!"

She didn't have time to think, and a blood talisman suddenly appeared in her hand.

"This is what you forced me to do!"

Spiritual power entered the talisman, and it burned without wind.

A bewitching red light was dazzling and eye-catching.

Within it, it was accompanied by a deep, melancholy fragrance like orchids and musk.

This fragrance made the female cultivator daze for a moment.

When she woke up, she saw a blood-colored giant palm already slowly slapping toward the heaven-startling, earth-standing long staff.

Boom!!!

The huge explosion sound almost traveled ten miles.

The dazzling light illuminated the entire night sky, and it could be vaguely seen even from a hundred miles away.

Among it, an even more shocked and angry voice came out.

"The Fu family's blood talisman, damn it!"

When the light dissipated, Seven Star Slope, the famous bandit cultivator holy land of Dahe Market, had already been razed to the ground.

A giant pit, fully a hundred feet wide, appeared in the eyes of the female cultivator whose face was like gold paper.

Inside the giant pit, a mutilated corpse lay quietly there.

Whoo whoo whoo~

The female cultivator gasped for breath and laughed happily.

"Damn bandit cultivator, died well, died well!"

It's just a pity about this blood talisman that had just come to hand.

Its power was indeed extraordinary, and it was no longer just comparable to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining; it completely exceeded it by a lot, almost feeling like a Foundation Establishment strike.

Just as she was laughing wantonly and happily, her expression changed again.

"Too much, is this Dahe Market a bandit cultivator's nest?"

After cursing, she didn't dare to stay.

She urged her remaining strength, set up her flying magic tool, and fled in a hurry.

In the not-so-far-away outer city area, dozens of colorful escape lights were frantically rushing toward this side.

Under a large tree, Luo Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Is this what Brother Wang said could only affect a hundred-meter range?"

That explosion's momentum and coverage area were far more than a hundred meters!

Wang Yuan stepped over and patted the dust off his body.

"That female cultivator's combat experience is extremely rich, and her eyesight is also very sharp; the original fake blood talisman, I'm afraid, wouldn't have been able to deceive her."

"Therefore, I added a little something inside."

No wonder!

Luo Chen suddenly realized, but he was still very greedy for the power of this fake blood talisman.

If it could be mass-produced, it could completely threaten Foundation Establishment cultivators.

If every cultivator in the Luo Tian Society's Battle Hall had one, they could walk sideways in Dahe Market.

Sensing his gaze, Wang Yuan sneered, "I wouldn't mass-produce this talisman; it affects my cultivation too much."

Luo Chen gave a sheepish laugh.

That's true; Wang Yuan spent a full ten days making this fake blood talisman, and it consumed a lot of his blood-Qi.

If it were just about chasing lethality, it would be better for Wang Yuan to improve himself more.

One cannot put the cart before the horse!

The two looked out at the former Seven Star Slope, now a place that could be called Seven Star Pit, where dozens of escape lights were lingering and not leaving.

Some other people had chased into the depths of the night.

"Brother Wang, that shout of yours was truly a stroke of genius!"

"If not for that, how could I make a name for the Fu family?"

The two looked at each other and smiled; everything was understood without words.

The next day, after a night of fermentation.

All the loose cultivators in Dahe Market knew about the battle last night.

The name of the Fu family's blood talisman was thoroughly established.

Countless people were discussing this thing and were eager to get one.

Of course, there were also people who were loudly condemning the Fu family, as a former Foundation Establishment family, for secretly capturing cultivators to peel their skin and extract their blood to draw talismans.

Such conduct was no different from the Demonic Path and should be punished by everyone!

For a time, the Fu family was pushed to the forefront.

In the Luo Tian Society, Luo Chen, who had finished a day of alchemy, could also hear the discussions of the cultivators in the society.

Especially those righteous and indignant voices, which made him very satisfied.

As far as the current situation was concerned, the plan was going very smoothly.

Then, he could proceed to the next step.

"Call Sima Xian here!"

Before long, Sima Xian arrived at the council hall.

Looking at this steady and simple man, Luo Chen sighed in his heart.

During the battle in Beijie Third Alley, the other party wanted to cover for his younger brother and sister and had taken a full-strength strike from a top-grade magic tool head-on.

He hadn't expected that he would actually survive.

The three Sima siblings were all safe and sound.

Now, in the Luo Tian Society, they were all doing quite well.

The second sister, Sima Hui Niang, had shown outstanding talent in the Jin Tang and was relied upon by Gu Caiyi, who had already set a deacon position for her.

The third brother, Sima Wenjie, had also received favorable evaluations from Murong Qinglian.

It was just that he was a bit rash and still lacked experience in handling personnel-related chores.

"President, what do you want with me?"

Luo Chen revealed a warm smile, "You go to the Fu family for me and hand this letter to the Fu family head, Fu Zhang."

Respectfully taking the letter, Sima Xian waited quietly for Luo Chen's other instructions.

However, Luo Chen didn't arrange anything, but instead asked him about things outside Dahe Market.

"The three of us siblings haven't been to many places, only Snow Lotus Market, Taishan Market, Flowing Light Market, and Heavenly Leaf Market."

"Haven't you been to Tianlan Xiancheng?"

"No, the journey is too far. I only know that Tianlan Xiancheng was jointly built by the seven sects of Yuding, with hundreds of thousands of loose cultivators and millions of mortals inside; it is a super large city that can rank in the top ten in the Yuding Domain."

"Are there many such large cities in the Yuding Domain?"

"Not many. Such super large cities usually have to be based on third-order spiritual veins, and they can even supply Foundation Establishment True Persons to cultivate inside."

Speaking of this, Sima Xian hesitated, "It is said that Dahe Market also has plans to build an immortal city."

"Dahe Market?" Luo Chen said in surprise, "This place only has one large first-order spiritual vein; is it worthy of being an immortal city?"

Sima Xian shook his head, "I don't know the inside story, but it is said that the Yuding Sword Sect indeed has this plan. Moreover, the grade of a spiritual vein is not immutable. Perhaps those large sects have mastered mysterious secret methods to improve the grade of spiritual veins!"

When he said this, Luo Chen was thoughtful.

Because the cultivation world has this thing called spiritual energy, there has never been anything immutable.

First-order spiritual herbs, after thousands or ten thousand years, might not be inferior to third-order or fourth-order spiritual herbs.

Those spiritual fields full of spiritual energy in Slanting Moon Valley were also artificially cultivated from ordinary fertile soil into first-order spiritual fields bit by bit.

Suddenly, he thought of the closure of the Discussion Platform.

At that time, he only thought it was that Foundation Establishment True Person playing tricks and creating the source of chaos.

Now it seems that it might also be related to improving the grade of the spiritual vein.

Skipping this topic, Luo Chen asked about the local customs of the nearby markets.

"Powerful Qi Refining cultivators?"

"There are quite a few of those. Like Qiu Bai and Liu Han of Flowing Light Market, Hao Xuan, Jin Donglai, and Wang Cheng of Taishan Market. Even Snow Lotus Market, which is called a place of bitter cold, has Qi Refining powerhouses like Fairy Liangyue and Nangong Qin."

"Oh, Nangong Qin is now considered a Qi Refining powerhouse of Dahe Market; it's not easy to count him in Snow Lotus Market anymore."

One name after another was spat out from Sima Xian's mouth, interspersed with some related deeds.

Luo Chen listened with great interest, especially that Fairy Liangyue of Snow Lotus Market; the more he listened, the more familiar she became.

After Sima Xian left, he realized.

Brocade handkerchief, Frost Flower Sword; isn't this the black-robed female cultivator who was praised by Wang Yuan last night?

Sure enough, cultivators who can make a name for themselves in every place have their own unique points.

Even if Wang Yuan hid his true combat power last night, with his rich experience, he had to use ruthless methods against that female cultivator to force out that blood talisman.

It can be seen that her strength is also considered outstanding among the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"But why did the Snow Lotus Market cultivator run to Dahe Market? Could it be that she also wants to learn from the Nangong family and move here?"

Just as Luo Chen was thinking about these miscellaneous things, in the Fu family's fortress.

Slap!

A palm slapped on the sandalwood table, and the force vented out, smashing it into powder.

Fu Zhang didn't care about the wood powder all over the floor and was furious.

"You brat, how dare you deceive me like this!"
