Chapter 155: New situation, new atmosphere, Spirit Eye Technique Great Perfection!

After a shower, the climate became much cooler.

Luo Chen walked along the mountain road in Slanting Moon Valley.

Beside him was Gu Caiyi, who had rushed back in a hurry.

"The cooperation with the Nangong family has been negotiated."

"Next, every month, they will provide us with a thousand spirit stones' worth of Fuzhu beast milk. They also specifically asked if we needed milk sources from another type of monster, but it was temporarily rejected by me."

Luo Chen praised, "Rejecting it is correct. As far as the current situation is concerned, two types of milk tea are enough for Honey Snow Ice City to gain a firm foothold in Dahe Market. Unless new competitors appear, we will slowly launch other new products."

"Hmm, I think so too."

Gu Caiyi nodded heavily, "In addition, the Dahe Gang has re-reached a supply relationship with us for Huan Jade. In terms of price, the rules from the Poshan Gang period remain unchanged."

This is also good news.

Recently, Luo Chen has been refining Jade Marrow Pills, and the Huan Jade used were all inventory from the Alchemy Hall during the Poshan Gang period.

But after frantically refining for two months, the raw materials have basically bottomed out.

The Dahe Gang taking the initiative to show favor is considered good news.

"According to your requirements, besides the two shop points in the inner city and outer city, we have already contacted five... four major families."

The five major Foundation Establishment families of Dahe Market, with the destruction of the Fu family, have become four.

Even the Chen family, which is not worthy of the name, is currently in a very worrying situation.

Several small forces composed of loose cultivators are eyeing them covetously, having the intention to imitate the Luo Tian Society's feat.

"For each family, we have provided a few bottles of the best-quality Jade Marrow Pills for free and given a procurement discount price for Gold VIPs."

"They are currently still hesitating, but I feel that as long as they try it, this matter will definitely succeed."

When saying this, Gu Caiyi was full of confidence.

Family cultivators and loose cultivators are different.

Their model is more like some sects.

High-realm clansmen are responsible for cultivation and various major decisions.

Those with medium realms, or those who are old, will be assigned to various chores.

Young low-realm clansmen, on the contrary, receive the best treatment.

Do not participate in various chores, only focus on cultivation.

For this batch of clansmen, various families will also refer to the sect model, issuing a fixed amount of spirit stones and pills to assist their cultivation.

From time to time, they will also organize juniors to trial and fight with people from other families.

Letting them not fall behind in combat skills while burying their heads in cultivation.

This is also why loose cultivators without roots or duckweed envy family cultivators or sect cultivators.

When they are weakest, they have the least to worry about cultivation resources.

The Luo Tian Society is now aiming at this market.

Wanting to hit Jade Marrow Pills into various families and become a designated cultivation pill.

The reason Luo Chen made this decision is also because the pill prices of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion are really too expensive.

A bottle of Nourishing Qi Pills for a hundred spirit stones is really not something that early or mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators can enjoy at will.

Even if it is a cultivation family, they have to consider pill allocation at their discretion.

But taking pills to assist cultivation is the biggest shortcut for cultivators on the road of cultivation.

Compared to Nourishing Qi Pills, Jade Marrow Pills are cheap enough, and the quantity can be supplied.

As long as Luo Chen lowers the price a little, he can completely occupy this part of the sinking market.

By then, the Luo Tian Society won't have to worry about the problem of opening up the market.

Just these few families, plus the loose cultivators of Dahe Market, can consume the pills produced by the Luo Tian Society.

In fact, Mi Shuhua also had such a big strategy back then.

But he was reluctant to give up the benefits and didn't go in the direction of these Foundation Establishment families with fixed needs.

Of course, at that time, there was also the situation where the five major families formed the Xuan Yi Society and were vaguely confronting the Poshan Gang.

Luo Chen naturally wouldn't make this mistake.

And now the Luo Tian Society and several major families have a "harmonious" relationship.

In Gu Caiyi's work report, the two turned around the inside and outside of Slanting Moon Valley leisurely.

Wherever they passed, they were often sounds of "President good" and "President early."

The eyes of those cultivators looking at Luo Chen also changed from ordinary treatment to respect mixed with caution, and another trace of awe.

No matter what, it was Luo Chen who led the Luo Tian Society to take down the Fu family!

And, he, this president, also defeated Fu Zhang, who possessed a talisman treasure, under the gaze of everyone in the final battle.

The methods are convincing.

The strength is awe-inspiring!

"Cough cough..."

"Luo Chen, are you okay?" Gu Caiyi looked at Luo Chen with concern.

Waving his hand, Luo Chen took a deep breath of fresh air.

"No harm, at most a few more days, and this injury of mine will be healed."

He was telling the truth, not being brave.

For cultivators, the most serious trauma is the injury to the primordial spirit.

Secondly, it is the dantian.

Then, it is the meridians and acupoints.

In comparison, damage to the internal organs is also a relatively serious type of internal injury, second only to damage to meridians and acupoints.

However, thanks to the strong physique of cultivators, damage to internal organs often heals on its own.

Therefore, very few people refine corresponding healing pills for internal organ and organ injuries.

So, compared to targeted pills for repairing meridians and external injuries that are easy to cure.

Damage to internal organs heals slower.

Luo Chen is not in a hurry, taking advantage of the lung injury, he can also brush the Healing Technique to the Grandmaster level; it's only a few dozen proficiency points away.

He also wants to know what the effect of the Grandmaster-level Healing Technique will be, and compared with part-time physicians like Granny Yuan and Luo Tianhong, how high or low it is.

When walking to a water pool, Luo Chen stopped his steps.

"You go get busy first, no need to accompany me."

"Hmm, then you pay attention to your body. Later I will let Granny Yuan boil a bowl of pig lung soup for you."

After Gu Caiyi left, Luo Chen walked to the water pool silently.

Then.

"Hey!"

"Ah!"

A childish and sharp scream rang out, which instead startled Luo Chen.

Qu Lingjun jumped down from the rockery stone, holding a book, and bowed respectfully to Luo Chen.

"President good!"

Luo Chen waved his hand and took the book.

While flipping through it, he asked, "After so long, how is the memorization?"

Qu Lingjun said uneasily, "It should be about the same."

"About the same won't do!"

"Usually it's about the same, but at a critical moment, it might be very different."

Luo Chen smiled slightly and closed "Hundred Herbs Atlas."

He sat on the blue stone where Qu Lingjun was previously, lifted the hem of his long robe, and placed his right leg on his left knee.

When the long robe covered his thighs, he spoke slowly.

"Come, I ask, you answer; if you satisfy me, I will give you a reward."

Qu Lingjun's eyes lit up.

He stood straight in front of Luo Chen immediately.

"Ginseng is the most common medicinal herb, whether it is for alchemy or one's own cultivation, it is often used. Do you know how many types of ginseng there are?"

Qu Lingjun answered without hesitation, "Those living in the wilderness and marshes are wild mountain ginseng, those planted in spiritual fields are transplanted mountain ginseng, others are rock ginseng living in rock walls and mine caves, blood ginseng formed by sucking the blood of living creatures, and it is rumored that on the vast snowy mountains, there is snow ginseng..."

After answering, his small chest was held high, waiting for Luo Chen to praise him.

Luo Chen chuckled, "Then how to distinguish the most common transplanted mountain ginseng? Age, medicinal power, appearance."

Qu Lingjun bit his lip and replied unhurriedly.

"Should distinguish from five aspects. Beard, reed, skin, pattern, body, these are the five forms of ginseng."

"What does beard mean?"

"Long, thin whiskers, old and tough, clear and sparse, with pearl-like spots—that indicates a one-year-old plant... Besides this, there are the three methods of looking, smelling, and tasting. The 'five shapes' belong to the looking method; smelling involves using the scent to distinguish the potency of the medicine. It is said that thousand-year-old ginseng, even if it resides in filthy soil, will still possess a light, ethereal fragrance."

"How to distinguish Blue Citrus Grass and Starry Grass?"

"The two are similar in shape and smell. But Blue Citrus Grass has a sour and sweet mixed taste when entering the mouth."

"But Starry Grass cannot be tasted, it contains highly toxic poison, how can it be tasted to distinguish?"

"At this time, it should be supplemented with Light-Dissolving Leaf, then you won't fear the Starry poison, and even taking a large amount can refine spiritual power."

"What does Phantom Ghost mean?"

"How to pick Stone Bamboo without damage?"

One question after another was thrown out by Luo Chen.

Initially, Qu Lingjun answered quickly and accurately, but later the speed of thinking slowed down.

Especially when it involved several similar medicinal herbs, even if Luo Chen took them out of the storage bag for him to distinguish, he had to rack his brains and finally give an answer.

In this way, time passed slowly to the afternoon.

Finally, amidst Qu Lingjun's sweating, Luo Chen stood up and ended the examination.

"President, did I pass?"

"Hmm, not bad, although not very proficient, basically all have been memorized."

Qu Lingjun wiped his sweat, looked up, and asked excitedly, "Then what is my reward?"

Luo Chen smiled and shook his head, taking out a book from the storage bag.

The boy lowered his head, "Still 'Hundred Herbs Atlas'?"

But after flipping it open, he opened his small mouth.

"Is this the 'Hundred Herbs Atlas' that you personally annotated, President?"

"Yes!"

Luo Chen said seriously, "Memorizing it is just the first step. But every kind of herb has many uses, how to match, dosage taboos, these are all things not on the book. So, next, you still need to be familiar with the characteristics of every herb."

Qu Lingjun twisted his body uneasily, "But, the ones on the book are also dead!"

"I allow you to receive a certain quota of herbs in the Medicine Pavilion to experiment."

Hearing that he could start, Qu Lingjun became excited immediately.

This is too good.

"In addition, I will give you another talisman for life-saving."

"But I haven't cultivated yet, I don't have spiritual power?"

"No harm, I have my own means."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, his finger swiped, and Qu Lingjun felt pain, only to find his finger was cut open.

"Drip blood onto this talisman."

The little boy bit his teeth, pretending to be strong, squeezed out a drop of fresh blood, and it fell onto the light yellow talisman.

Luo Chen's fingers pinched the formula, hitting one after another spiritual power.

Then, amidst the flashing spiritual light, that drop of fresh blood thoroughly penetrated into the talisman.

"Alright, in the future if you encounter danger, this talisman can save your life."

"Go play, don't memorize books today."

Luo Chen waved his hand.

The boy bit his finger and ran away happily.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile.

I don't know when, Wang Yuan had already come to his side.

"You think highly of this child?"

"It's alright!"

"But he only has four spiritual roots, no hope for the Great Dao."

"Is my aptitude not worse than his?"

"But..."

Luo Chen said lazily, "Poor aptitude is not useless; at least after knowing that there is no hope for the Great Dao in the future, one can calm down and put the time used for cultivation into other things."

Wang Yuan was stunned, his gaze fell on the "Hundred Herbs Atlas" that the boy had memorized before, thoughtful.

"What do you want with me?"

"Nothing big, just that your injury is almost healed, so I want to return the Luo Tian Society's affairs to you."

Wang Yuan gave a wry smile, "You don't know, just these few days, a pile of things have accumulated in the society."

"Hmm?" Luo Chen asked curiously, "What else is there, I've handled the Jin Tang side. The matter of reward and aftermath is also the responsibility of Murong Qinglian."

"Among the batch of resources from the Fu family, there are books related to talisman making. Recently everyone is discussing whether to establish a hall for making and selling talismans."

Luo Chen understood instantly.

A few days ago, after he killed Fu Zhang, the loose cultivators of Dahe Market were temporarily intimidated.

The Luo Tian Society took this opportunity, led by Wang Yuan, to go in and loot a lot of resources, truly bringing back quite a few resources.

But, establish another talisman-making department?

Luo Chen almost didn't consider it too much and flatly refused.

Wang Yuan didn't oppose it either; he didn't favor this matter either.

"However, you can send the books related to talisman making to me."

Wang Yuan said it casually, but after the words came out, his brows furrowed.

"You don't want to concurrently practice talisman making, do you?"

"Can't I?" Luo Chen said confidently, "Although I don't have a foundation in talisman making, I still have quite a bit of confidence in magic spells."

"Knowing how to cast spells doesn't mean you can make talismans," Wang Yuan advised earnestly, "And alchemy has already occupied too much of your time; if you divide your heart to make talismans, it will drag down your cultivation."

"Rest assured, I will weigh the pros and cons."

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Wang Yuan didn't say anything more.

Anyway, this batch of resources, in name, should also be allocated by Luo Chen.

Wang Yuan's movements were fast, and before long, he sent someone to send everything to Luo Chen.

Alone, Luo Chen opened the storage bag.

Whoa!

It is truly a considerable resource!

There are seven talisman brushes, the best one is a first-order top-grade, named Jin Zhu.

There are ten jars of top-quality talisman ink and over a hundred sheets of fine talisman skin.

This is only a part of it; most of the resources were left at the Merit Hall.

Luo Chen skipped these things and looked at the books and bamboo slips.

"Talisman Making Entry"

"First-order Talisman Encyclopedia"

"Talisman Dao Initial Explanation"

"Key Points of Fireball Technique Drawing"

"How to Simplify Talisman Making for Large Magic Spells"

After reading the names of these books, Luo Chen couldn't help but shake his head.

"If you want to have small achievements in talisman making, I'm afraid it will take half a lifetime. Even if I have the system's help, this time will have to be calculated in years."

He has self-knowledge; the system is not omnipotent.

As far as alchemy is concerned, he first inherited the original body's ten-year foundation, and then immersed himself in Bigusan for over a year.

Later, Zhongmiaowan was mixed in, and he refined it for a year before and after.

Later, he learned Jade Marrow Pills and refined them persistently.

With such deep accumulation, he barely deduced the Burning Blood Pill recipe.

It can be said that as far as the overall refining of first-order pills is concerned, Luo Chen can barely be called an alchemy master.

But even so, he still feels that the Dao of Alchemy is profound and broad, like a high mountain.

He has only just stepped into the foot of the mountain.

If he spends time on talisman making again, then don't seek any longevity in this life.

The reason he collected these things is also to see if he can use other people's stones to attack jade in the magic spell Dao.

After all, talisman making is drawing magic spells into talisman skin.

First of all, it requires the talisman maker to have some mastery of a certain magic spell.

The drawing process also requires precise control of spiritual power, ensuring the size of the magic spell power, etc.

And these things can more or less allow Luo Chen to absorb some experience when practicing magic spells.

In the battle with Fu Zhang, besides using top-grade magic tools, he also displayed Carefree Wind Control and Great Perfection Fireball Technique.

Thus, he not only dodged the main attack of the magic treasure giant hammer but also posed a threat to the opponent.

The "Fireball Technique" seen by outsiders was actually his Great Perfection Fireball Technique.

Recalling the scene at that time, Luo Chen was very dissatisfied.

"In a hurry, the number of fireballs fused was too few, only enough to cause destructive strikes to ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators, and it didn't have the power of a second-order magic spell at all."

Second-order magic spells are aimed at Foundation Establishment means.

In other words, it can threaten Foundation Establishment cultivators!

"Now that I have broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, my strength has greatly improved. If I can improve the Fireball Technique again, perhaps I can threaten Foundation Establishment cultivators."

This is Luo Chen's real goal!

He has had enough of the suppression of Foundation Establishment cultivators like Mi Shuhua and Miao Wen.

And he really doesn't want to be coveted by other Foundation Establishment cultivators in the future.

Therefore, he must master means that can threaten Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Magic spells are his breakthrough direction.

"Don't be anxious, take it slowly; haste makes waste."

Luo Chen picked out "Key Points of Fireball Technique Drawing" and put the rest of the books into the storage bag.

Start researching from the most familiar place.

He wants to see how the most common low-level talisman, Fireball Talisman, is made.

In the middle of the night, in Changyin Mountain.

There are faint howls of demon wolves and chirping of insects.

Luo Chen displayed the Spirit Eye Technique, looking at the three-meter-deep pit blasted out by the Fireball Technique in the distance.

This is the result of his single display of the small fireball.

The power is much greater than before.

On the premise of not facing ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators, he has the confidence to face dozens of mid-to-late stage Qi Refining cultivators alone.

"My combat means are extremely rich, and my group lethality to low-level cultivators is also considered outstanding among the same level."

Luo Chen is very clear about his strength positioning.

What he needs to do now is to dismantle the mystery of the Fireball Technique's operation, not for talisman making, but to fuse the effect of the Fireball Technique.

"Go!"

With a thought, Luo Chen pinched the formula again.

In fact, he was already able to "instant cast" the Fireball Technique, but this time he chose to do it step by step.

Spiritual light bloomed in his eyes, and Luo Chen stared fixedly at the output, gathering, and forming of spiritual power.

Then the trajectory of the Fireball Technique flying out, and the process of explosion.

Boom!

Another pit appeared, and Luo Chen rubbed his tired eyes.

"Magic spells take hand seals and incantations as leads, use spiritual power as the source of energy, and finally build into shape."

"The system's blessing allowed me to omit the steps of hand seals and incantations in continuous proficiency, reaching the realm of instant casting."

"In fact, this is also the most correct direction."

"If spiritual sense can be released, a thought can replace hand seals and incantations to cast relatively low-level magic spells."

"The direction is correct, but I only knew it was so, not why it was so."

"On the premise that spiritual sense cannot be released, hand seals and incantations actually represent the spiritual power gathering route, composition structure, detonation structure, etc."

"If I lead the last bit of spiritual power without firing, does that mean the Fireball Technique can still delay the explosion?"

"If this bit of spiritual power is injected in advance, will the formation time be saved?"

In repeated thinking, Luo Chen cast the Fireball Technique again and again.

The Spirit Eye Technique kept operating, paying attention to the changes.

He didn't start from fusing fireballs to form the Fireball Technique directly, but instead dismantled and analyzed it from the initial Fireball Technique.

Because Luo Chen believes that any high-level magic spell cannot ignore the most basic things.

This inspiration actually came from the second-order magic spell "Mountain Collapse."

The power described by this technique is extremely powerful.

It is not inferior to powerful second-order magic spells like Ten Thousand Swords Technique, Ice Soul Divine Needle, and Lei Zhenzi; compared to the fire-type Fireball Technique, it is even higher.

But this technique requires learning three prerequisite magic spells first.

Isn't this a manifestation of valuing the foundation?

By dawn, Luo Chen stopped cultivating.

Although he hadn't thoroughly solved the disadvantage of the slow fusion speed of the Fireball Technique, he had gained a lot this night.

This is manifested in the ordinary Fireball Technique and the small killer move Firefly, which are more powerful than before.

"Strange, why are my eyes so painful!"

Luo Chen subconsciously rubbed his eyes again.

"Is it because of the overuse of the Spirit Eye Technique last night?"

"Spirit Eye Technique..."

Luo Chen was stunned, and his eyes closed tightly.

In the pitch black, there were faint colorful colors.

The Spirit Eye Technique finally reached Great Perfection!
