Chapter 156: Please Elder draw the sword!

【Spirit Eye Technique 1000/1000 — Great Perfection Spirit Eye Technique】

The change in the entry was just an instant.

But Luo Chen felt the change in his eyes as if a thousand or ten thousand years had passed.

Colorful colors kept flashing in his eyeballs.

Even with his eyes closed, there was still a burning sensation, making him extremely uncomfortable.

It was as if a mortal opened his eyes wide and looked directly at the sun.

Or as if sharp ice shards were piercing into his eyes inch by inch.

Two trails of blood slowly flowed down from the corners of his eyes.

Suddenly!

His eyelids lifted, and a pair of eyes as bright as stars opened, looking directly at this great world!

"This is... spiritual energy?"

Luo Chen subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the faint thing in the air.

However, when he touched it, he grabbed nothing.

"Too faint, unable to take shape."

Luo Chen was thoughtful.

He could be sure that the transparent and light gas he saw just now was spiritual energy.

The initial function of the Spirit Eye Technique was to let cultivators see through things with spiritual power fluctuations.

It was precisely because of this that beginners could often see spiritual power fluctuations of cultivators with lower realms than themselves and judge others' realms through spiritual power fluctuations.

After reaching the Grandmaster level back then, Luo Chen even vaguely saw through a very active spiritual power fluctuation deep underground, thereby finding the spiritual vein cave.

Now going a step further, he could not only see extremely obvious spiritual power fluctuations like cultivators and spiritual vein caves.

He could even vaguely perceive the spiritual energy that exists in nature.

"And that's not all!"

Luo Chen lowered his head; in the thick fallen leaves, there were small insects invisible to the naked eye, crawling slowly.

He raised his head and looked into the distance.

Looking at it, things ten miles away were clearly visible.

This was still in the middle of the night!

If it were daytime with high visibility, it might be even further.

"Ten miles? No, perhaps it's fifty miles, or even a hundred miles away!"

After reaching this judgment, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel a burst of joy.

From now on, his title of "Little Thousand-Mile Eye" would be even more well-deserved.

"And!"

In just an instant, Luo Chen's eyes shifted to the east, which was further away.

There, there was an extremely eye-catching spiritual power fluctuation and a sky-high evil aura.

"Ice Wolf Canyon."

That's right, what he saw was the Frost Giant Wolf tribe he had explored before.

Before, he only discovered it was an evil aura cold pool.

But looking at it now, there was actually a huge spiritual power fluctuation accompanying it.

"It's a bit short of a second-order spiritual vein, but it far exceeds an ordinary first-order spiritual vein."

"From the vitality emitted by that spiritual power fluctuation, it even vaguely feels like it's going to a higher level."

"In other words, that canyon spiritual vein is very likely to be upgraded to a second-order spiritual vein land in the near future."

This near future might be one or two years, or it might be ten or a hundred years.

Luo Chen didn't care about this; what he cared about was that his eyes could actually see the vitality and death intent of spiritual power.

All things in the world have life and death.

Even the whole world might head toward destruction after billions of years.

Natural spiritual vein lands also have this law.

Luo Chen now could use this pair of spiritual eyes to see through vitality and death intent.

Amidst the surprise, Luo Chen's eyes shifted, continuously looking at things nearby.

A large tree that was about to die.

A small grass growing vigorously.

A medicinal herb that was about to cross into a grade.

Suddenly, he looked at his clothes.

Top-grade magic robe, engraved with three formations: Cleaning, Dust-avoiding, and Green Light Cover.

The latter is a defensive formation; after being attacked, under the cultivator's control, it instantly forms a defensive spiritual power cover.

The defensive power of this formation is not very outstanding, but it wins in being continuous and having extremely strong toughness.

As long as a certain reaction time is given, the defensive effect is far better than other magic robes.

And this certain reaction time, Luo Chen can give it through the Four Elephant Ding and his agile body technique.

Just one glance, and Luo Chen saw the hidden formation patterns on it.

"So that's how it was engraved."

"This material is also quite extraordinary, no wonder it can withstand the power of the formation."

"The toughness of the Green Light Formation is constructed like this."

The price of magic robes has never been low.

It can't compare to specialized defensive magic tools, but it is not much different from ordinary attack magic tools.

The value lies in the defensive formation engraved on it.

Looking at it now, the material cost itself is not low either.

"Can it see through secrets?"

As soon as this thought came up, a sharp pain came from his eyes.

Luo Chen hurriedly closed his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, according to the operation method of the Spirit Eye Technique, he closed it.

When he opened his eyes again, the world returned to normal.

Luo Chen walked back while summarizing.

The improvement of the Great Perfection Spirit Eye Technique is incomparably huge.

It is more sensitive to spiritual power fluctuations and can even see the wisps of spiritual energy wandering between heaven and earth.

The line of sight distance is also further; he can see ten miles away in the middle of the night, and in the daytime, it might reach about a hundred miles. It's not just seeing an outline, but seeing it in detail, clearly, as if it were by his side.

In addition, he can see the vitality and death intent of many things.

Finally, it is the function of seeing through formation patterns — seeing through secrets.

Most magic tools, after recording formations, are plain and unremarkable when not actively stimulating spiritual power, and the detailed formation patterns cannot be seen.

If spiritual power is stimulated, under the illumination of spiritual light, ordinary people can't see the specific formation patterns even more.

This kind of setting can maximize the avoidance of others stealing the formation patterns of the caster.

But Luo Chen, relying on a pair of spiritual eyes, can see them clearly.

"Four functions, earth-shaking changes!"

"This is something I never thought of."

"But in this way, the improvement to me is truly too huge."

Amidst the excitement, Luo Chen, who is smart, could almost think of many things that could utilize this pair of eyes.

First is cultivation; he can have a more detailed understanding of his own body.

Secondly, it is many skills.

Alchemy, he can better control the fusion of medicinal power in the alchemy furnace, and when decomposing medicinal materials, he can also do it with a target.

If he uses this to learn formations, I'm afraid it will also be twice the result with half the effort.

Even if it is other things like talisman making, physician, etc., I'm afraid there will be no small gain.

A pair of good eyes can truly affect many things.

Even sword cultivators, who are famous for their combat power, often strengthen their eyes.

Runming Pearl Liquid and Tongming Liquid are all good eye-supplementing medicines developed by the Yuding Sword Sect for their disciples.

"Let's rest today, and start familiarizing with these eyes tomorrow."

Luo Chen calmed his mood, not letting himself be so excited.

Returning to the spiritual vein cave, he continued to cultivate.

The name Slanting Moon Valley is no longer appropriate.

The mountain valley is still preserved, but the outside part has been expanded too much, and the area is almost several times that of the valley.

The two are connected, and the mountains, stones, flowing water, and lush trees between them secretly match the number of the five elements.

This is the headquarters of the Luo Tian Society!

I don't know since when, the Luo Tian Society cultivators discovered that their president likes to sit on the top of the mountain when he has nothing to do.

Facing the wind, a pair of sharp eyes looking into the distance.

Initially, it felt quite good.

Later, they felt a bit uncomfortable, and the work in their hands became serious.

Luo Chen hadn't noticed that his behavior of familiarizing with his eyes had caused the subordinates to have the illusion that he was monitoring others.

He was immersed in the joy of a pair of spiritual eyes observing a hundred miles.

"This eye is wonderful!"

"Not only can I see the clear scene a hundred miles away, but in battle, I can more clearly observe the enemy's reaction actions."

"I have quite a few Great Perfection first-order magic spells, with Fireball Technique being the most powerful, Traction Technique being the most practical, and Li Li Xiaoyao Wind Control being the most agile."

"However, in comparison, this Spirit Eye Technique is the most important."

The effect of the Great Perfection Spirit Eye Technique is truly too good.

In the short term, it can anticipate the enemy's opportunities and observe a hundred miles.

In the long term, the benefits to cultivation are even more difficult to describe.

In the past few days, Luo Chen has verified it from many aspects.

After the excitement, Luo Chen planned to continue the optimization of the Fireball Technique.

He believes that with these eyes, the optimization speed will accelerate several times.

Perhaps it won't be long before he can truly complete the optimization and fuse a stronger Fireball Technique.

By then, he will have a trump card that can threaten Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Just as Luo Chen intended to go down the mountain, his eyelids jumped.

An escape light broke through the air from afar, shaped like a sword.

When it stepped into the hundred-mile range, he saw that familiar face clearly.

"Why did he come in person?"

Luo Chen frowned and went down to the mountain valley calmly.

Before long, in the Alchemy Hall.

Deacon Miao Wen stepped into the Alchemy Hall with wind and dust, and a pair of sharp black eyes looked at Luo Chen strangely.

"I didn't notice it, but Junior Brother's eyesight is outstanding."

"Hmm? Has something happened?" Luo Chen was puzzled.

"Come with me, the Elder has a place where he needs you."

Elder!

Luo Chen displayed Li Li Xiaoyao Wind Control and followed behind Deacon Miao Wen, feeling uneasy.

The only one who can make a Foundation Establishment True Person like Deacon Miao Wen respectfully call Elder in this Dahe Market is one person.

Golden Core True Person — Pang Renxiong!

"What place do I have that he needs?"

"The 'Junior Brother' in Deacon Miao Wen's mouth is, without accident, the Yuding true disciple Luo Tianhong."

"My contact with him was only a month ago, when I reconnected Qin Liangchen's broken limb."

"Eyesight outstanding?"

"At that time, what did he see on me?"

Luo Chen was suspicious, and he recalled the situation at that time.

Luo Tianhong didn't care about low-level loose cultivators like them at all, and didn't even look at the beautiful Murong Qinglian.

But he stopped for a moment beside him and even said, "The magic spell was very successful."

At that time, Luo Chen thought the other party knew his relationship with Deacon Miao Wen, so he looked at him differently.

But looking at it now, he was afraid he had missed something.

What is it?

Luo Chen couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought; what exactly did he have that could make Luo Tianhong pay attention, and even be useful to a Golden Core True Person.

A heart, amidst constant speculation, kept sinking.

Deacon Miao Wen didn't bother to explain, just flew forward on his own.

Looking at the other party's back, Luo Chen unexpectedly had a thought that was not timely.

"This Deacon Miao Wen's cultivation is not very thick!"

He remembered that when he was attacked in the Qingma Forest, Mi Shuhua thought he was flying slowly and directly wrapped him in spiritual light to fly.

But Deacon Miao Wen also felt he was flying slowly, but didn't do such an action.

"Also, Mi Shuhua is a loose cultivator, but he is also a genuine mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"And this Deacon Miao Wen is only an early-stage Foundation Establishment!"

In this kind of slightly "resigned" random thinking, the two entered the inner city and came to the Yuding Sword Pavilion.

This was Luo Chen's first time coming to the real "Sword Pavilion"!

Not the ordinary and plain buildings outside, but a tall building shaped like a sharp sword.

Standing in the spacious hall of the pavilion, Luo Chen lowered his head, not daring to look around.

He only felt that his body was being pointed at by one sharp sword after another, cold and shivering.

Deacon Miao Wen and Luo Tianhong stood on both sides, just like him, also respectfully.

Their respect was not without reason.

Because at the very top, behind the curtain, a man who made people feel huge pressure even when sitting was looking down at them.

He didn't speak, just examining Luo Chen.

Suddenly!

He stretched out his index finger and middle finger.

Pointing like a sword, pointing at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen's heart jumped wildly, only feeling that something sharp to the extreme was pointing at him.

No way, Big Boss!

I'm just a small Qi Refining loose cultivator, what are you doing!

The next moment, Luo Chen was hit hard, his face pale.

"Cough cough!"

He retreated several steps, only feeling that something in his body had been extracted.

In his ears, a majestic voice came. 【15

"Follow this soul seed and find that rat hiding in the shadows for me."

"Go!"

"As you command, Elder!"

"As you command, Elder!"

Amidst the howling gale, Luo Chen kept his head lowered, coughing.

Deacon Miao Wen, standing beside him, frowned as he looked at him.

"When were you injured?"

Luo Chen managed a forced smile. "Ten days ago, injured by a talisman treasure."

"A talisman treasure?" Deacon Miao Wen let out a cold snort. "I told you not to go looking for trouble. You overestimated yourself."

Luo Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, offering no rebuttal.

If he hadn't stirred up that trouble, how could the Luo Tian Society have developed so smoothly until now?

Not only had they resolved issues like the milk supply and the Huan Yu matter.

Two days ago, the Li family had even reached a cooperation agreement with them, promising to purchase a fixed quantity of Jade Marrow Pills every month.

They had even paid the deposit—a full five hundred spirit stones.

As long as this business deal went through, they would have over a thousand spirit stones coming in every month; if it continued, it would be a considerable income.

He looked at Luo Tianhong, who was flying in front with a dim green oil lamp hovering above his head.

Luo Chen couldn't help but ask, "What exactly did Elder Pang extract from my body just now?"

"Hmph..."

Deacon Miao Wen let out a mocking laugh and glanced at him.

"You naturally wouldn't know what kind of methods Mi Shuhua left on you."

Luo Chen felt a jolt in his heart. There were other methods?

He had clearly used his Grandmaster-level Cleansing Technique to remove that trace of pure spiritual power Mi Shuhua had left on him!

A chill rose within him involuntarily.

"That was a soul seed; you could also consider it a strand of spiritual sense actively severed by a cultivator. It's just that since Mi Shuhua is already dead, this strand of spiritual sense has become a rootless duckweed, surviving by anchoring itself to you."

"As everyone knows, all things are born with spirit; humans have souls, and after Foundation Establishment, the soul and spirit combine to achieve an externalized spiritual sense."

"Therefore, within the spiritual sense, there is inherently a portion of the cultivator's soul origin."

"Elder Pang used a great divine ability to peel away the layers and trace back the original soul origin of Mi Shuhua, combining it with this magic tool, the Soul-Gathering Lamp, to form a soul seed."

Hearing these words, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

He had only thought Mi Shuhua left that one trace of pure spiritual power on him, and he had even been thinking that since he had a countermeasure, he could easily escape.

He had even made fairly sufficient preparations.

He hadn't expected that old fox to have left more than one method on him!

Actively severing one's own spiritual sense—how ruthless!

This meant he had actively cut off a part of his own soul.

If he had truly escaped back then, he feared that before long, Mi Shuhua would have been able to hunt him down.

By then, one could imagine his fate.

Being locked in a dark room to refine pills would likely have been the best treatment.

"I still underestimated the methods of a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator!"

"Foundation Establishment, Foundation Establishment—it establishes the foundation of the Great Dao. Once Foundation Establishment is achieved, a cultivator undergoes earth-shattering changes in every aspect; it is by no means as superficial as just combat power."

"In the future, I must be careful!"

Luo Chen took a deep breath; it was nothing more than knowing shame and then finding courage!

Glancing at Deacon Miao Wen, Luo Chen noticed the other man's expression wasn't very good either.

Recalling his unusual demeanor and tone today, Luo Chen suddenly had a realization.

It seemed the other man wasn't having an easy time either!

That's right, the method Mi Shuhua left on him had been there for a long time.

Yet, despite having spent time with him on several occasions, he had never discovered it.

Instead, Luo Tianhong, who had only met him once, had noticed something wrong at a glance.

As soon as Pang Renxiong came out of seclusion, he reported it immediately.

Whether Luo Tianhong would be rewarded was hard to say, but Deacon Miao Wen would definitely be reprimanded!

This old fellow wasn't having an easy time either!

Harboring the dark psychology of 'if I'm not doing well, no one else should either,' Luo Chen felt a rare sense of satisfaction.

On the surface, however, he maintained sufficient respect.

"So now, what are we going to do with this soul seed?"

"Are we tracing the roots to find Mi Shuhua?"

"But he's already dead, isn't he!"

Regarding Luo Chen's question, Deacon Miao Wen acted strangely patient.

Although his tone was still unpleasant, he at least answered Luo Chen's confusion.

However, this answer left Luo Chen somewhat shocked.

"How could Mi Shuhua die so easily!"

"Don't look at the fact that five Foundation Establishment cultivators besieged him back then; in reality, all five were in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and Wang Haichao, Nangong Jin, and Li Yixian did not have magic treasures."

"In Mi Shuhua's hands, besides the Heavenly Moon Purple Gold Wheel, he also had the defensive magic treasure, the Rotten Wood Chess Piece, and the suppression magic treasure, the Demon-Locking Pagoda."

"If he had fought to the death, at least half of those five would have had to pay the price, and the rest would all have been severely injured."

"But the final result was that, except for Duan Qiankun and Li Yixian suffering minor injuries, the others were all unscathed."

"And Mi Shuhua fell within his own clan's territory."

Speaking to this point, Deacon Miao Wen took a deep breath.

A ferocious smile appeared on his face.

"That rat hiding in the shadows finally couldn't resist the temptation!"

"Soon!"

"Soon we will catch him!"

Luo Chen was shocked by the depth of Mi Shuhua's foundation.

Three magic treasures!

What kind of wealth was this?

Even some ordinary Jin Dan cultivators wouldn't be this wealthy!

Not to mention whether Mi Shuhua could use three magic treasures simultaneously, just being able to accumulate them was enough to make one marvel.

And under such circumstances, Mi Shuhua had still died.

Recalling the word "rat" that Pang Renxiong and Deacon Miao Wen had both uttered twice.

Luo Chen instantly realized something.

He had been dragged into a dispute between Jin Dan stage cultivators!

Time passed, the sun rose and the moon set.

When the sky grew dark and the sunset glow spilled over the vast river, Luo Tianhong in front stopped his steps.

His expression was solemn as he held the Soul-Gathering Lamp.

He lowered his head, his sharp, clear eyes staring fixedly into the depths of the great river.

This place was already far from the Dahe Market; the river was thousands of meters wide, no different from the open sea.

At the same time, a powerful and terrifying wave of magic power spread out from within the river.

The hostility was obvious, aimed directly at Luo Tianhong.

Facing this shocking scene, Luo Tianhong did not hesitate and shouted loudly.

"Elder, please draw your sword!"

The next moment, a golden stream of light, like a falling star, roared from the depths of the Dahe Market.

The sword Qi was like a tide, its momentum vast!

The stockpile I saved up is all gone!

Seven chapters today, totaling nearly forty thousand words.

A guaranteed ten thousand words, plus two chapters for the Alliance Leader; the extra updates are to reward the brothers who voted with monthly tickets yesterday.

Thank you, and I hope everyone will continue to support Xiao Yu and this book.
