Chapter 215: The proactive Min Longyu, unlocking the storage bag restriction

~19 min read 3,601 words

Amidst laughter and chatter.

Murderous intent was hidden!

Min Longyu trembled all over.

Looking at Luo Chen, he said nervously, "I imagine you wouldn't."

"Oh?" Luo Chen looked at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "You seem to know me very well?"

Min Longyu lowered his head.

"Since the Battle of Xieyue Valley, I have been paying attention to you. Especially after you reorganized the Poshan Gang and established the Luo Tian Society with your own strength..."

"Treating Mi Li kindly, taking in female cultivators who came out of Tianxiang Tower."

"Wang Yuan is merely a body refiner, yet you offered him the conditions of a Foundation Establishment retainer."

"Duan Feng has a feud with the Duan family, and you personally attacked the Duan family."

"People like Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang are merely mediocre, yet they were given important roles under you."

"The President Sima trio, I know them; they are outsiders, yet they hold high positions in the Luo Tian Society."

For a long time, he slowly raised his head, with less nervousness and more firmness.

Looking at Luo Chen.

"Min does not consider himself to have a good eye, but I will not misjudge a person again and again."

"Like you, warm and generous, kind to friends, ruthless to enemies, treating talent without sticking to one pattern, and being respectful to the virtuous..."

Luo Chen's eyebrows jumped wildly.

Too much! Too much!

Where did I get so many advantages? He said it so well I almost felt like a saint.

"I believe you are absolutely a wise master!"

"Far superior to the likes of Mi and Wang!"

Who doesn't like hearing flattery!

Luo Chen was joyful in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.

"Just relying on these is not enough."

Min Longyu said seriously, "At the Foundation Establishment Ceremony, you taught the secrets of Foundation Establishment without reservation, which shows you are not a stingy person."

"And you have already reached Foundation Establishment, yet you still made a strong move at the Huo family auction to bid for a Foundation Establishment Pill. Who this pill was bid for is clear at a glance."

"I will not be hypocritical either; I defected to you precisely for the Foundation Establishment Pill!"

So he finally said his true intention!

Luo Chen's smile gradually faded.

Staring at Min Longyu, who was wearing a high hat and broad belt and had his own rules.

"In the Battle of Xieyue Valley, you once broke the Xutu Great Array and led the crowd to surround and kill me."

"In the Battle of Gaoling Plain, although you helped me, you also defected at the last minute and betrayed Wang Haichao."

"Do you think, standing from my perspective, I should accept you?"

Pausing.

Luo Chen said gloomily, "Not killing you publicly is already my preferential treatment for your turning from evil to good; do not think of me as too kind."

There is hatred.

And even more, there is a stain on his character.

Who would accept such a person?

Min Longyu opened his mouth, and for a moment, he was speechless.

In his eyes, there was even more confusion and panic.

Sou!

A jade pendant fell before him.

"Make a Great Dao oath, never to betray me in your life!"

Min Longyu hesitated as he took the jade pendant, his heart even more confused.

If it were a Great Dao oath, he could understand.

But why use a jade pendant as a carrier?

"And promise to provide array assistance to the Luo Tian Society, without any selfishness."

Looking at the hesitant Min Longyu, Luo Chen said indifferently, "I also make a vow to find a Foundation Establishment spiritual medicine for you before you reach the age of sixty. As for that Foundation Establishment Pill I bid for, don't even think about it."

Min Longyu was stunned.

That Foundation Establishment Pill, cannot covet it.

But he promised to find another Foundation Establishment spiritual medicine for me?

Even, he would also make a vow?

Taking a deep breath, Min Longyu no longer hesitated and immediately made the Great Dao oath.

Quite decisive!

Seeing this, Luo Chen also made the vow to find the medicine.

When the oath was initially formed, two faint lights flashed out from the two of them and merged into the jade pendant.

Luo Chen performed several hand seals, and after the jade pendant absorbed the faint lights, it became even more profound.

Reaching out to summon the jade pendant back, Luo Chen put it into his storage bag.

The Soul-Fixing Vow was initially formed; both sides had constraints, and there was even a wisp of connection between their souls.

However, the main body of this vow was on Min Longyu's side.

Luo Chen only needed to complete the vow to find the medicine, and the vow would be resolved.

By then, he would no longer be bound by this vow.

Min Longyu only felt a bit uncomfortable on his body, as if he were controlled by others.

However, that feeling quickly faded away.

He twisted his body unnaturally, "Then what about me now?"

"Go find Murong Qinglian and Duan Feng; the former will register you, and the latter needs your array assistance."

Luo Chen smiled, "This Sky Eagle flying boat of ours looks intact, but the internal arrays are severely damaged, and now is the time for you to contribute."

Min Longyu let out a sigh of relief.

As long as there is something to do.

Only then could he quickly integrate into the Luo Tian Society, without having to face those strange gazes.

"Senior! Then I will take my leave."

"Go!"

The big door opened, and the sunlight spilled in.

Min Longyu, who was clearly under restraint, walked out with a firmer step.

Luo Chen looked at his back and couldn't help but shake his head.

This is probably the helplessness of loose cultivators!

All matters are not controlled by people, and it is difficult to compete with fate.

Yet he could give him a glimmer of survival in the face of no hope for Foundation Establishment.

"Foundation Establishment spiritual medicine? Hehe!"

This is not a difficult matter.

Now he has the realm, the strength, and even more wealth.

At the auction, as long as he reveals a little, he can fight for one.

Even if not, he can refine Emperor Flowing Liquid to fulfill this promise.

But the latter, unless absolutely necessary, still cannot be exposed.

Luo Chen had long seen it clearly.

The Foundation Establishment Pill at the auction, rather than saying it is a glimmer of survival left by great sects for loose cultivators.

It is better to say it is a means used by great sects to control bottom-level loose cultivators.

With this glimmer of survival, loose cultivators will not go all-in and stand on the opposite side of the great sects.

And he also possesses the means to allow people to reach Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, it is the kind of means comparable to the Foundation Establishment Pill.

If this were exposed...

"The disaster would be far greater than orthodox cultivation elixirs like Jade Marrow Pills!"

After sighing, the big door slowly closed.

"Did the Society Leader arrange a position for you?"

"None."

"Was the salary mentioned?"

"None."

"Where is your ancestral home, what is your realm?"

"From Mount Tianlan Immortal City, currently at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining."

Murong Qinglian looked at the man in front of her in surprise.

He truly joined the Luo Tian Society!

Even if she had expected it, she still felt it was incredible.

From the moment this person debuted, he had always stood on their opposite side.

Whether it was the Poshan Gang period, abusing Han Dang to death, or the Battle of Xieyue Valley, breaking the array alone.

Years passed, time and situation changed.

This person instead turned from darkness to light and became a member of the Luo Tian Society.

Moreover, with a realm only second to the Society Leader and the War Hall Master, he had no position or salary arrangement.

It seems his purpose for joining the Luo Tian Society is very clear!

In surprise, she asked for detailed information while solemnly recording the corresponding information in the roster.

【Min Longyu: Realm: Great Perfection of Qi Refining】

【Age: Fifty-six】

【Spiritual Roots: Gold, Fire, Earth, Three Spiritual Roots】

【Skills: Array】

【Position: Ordinary Member】

"It's all recorded. Currently, your treatment is issued according to the basic salary of a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator. It's not much! Only three hundred spirit stones a month, and one bottle of Dust-Transforming Pills. It might change in the future, but that's how it is for now."

Hearing Murong Qinglian's words, Min Longyu was shocked in his heart.

Is this not much?

Although he now had a considerable net worth, having secretly picked up a batch of resources on the Gaoling Plain battlefield.

But the Luo Tian Society's treatment for ordinary ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators had clearly exceeded the standard of the Dajiang Gang back then!

Moreover, listening to this Hall Master Murong, it might change later?

Naturally, it wouldn't change for the worse; it must be changing in a better direction.

Shaking his head, he sighed: "I have always heard that Senior Dan Chenzi treats his subordinates extremely well; I didn't expect even the basic salary to be this generous."

Murong Qinglian smoothed her hanging hair and smiled lightly: "That is natural. If you can hold important positions such as deacon, elder, or hall master like us, the treatment will be even higher."

"Oh?"

Murong Qinglian was a very smart woman.

Early on, she was Qin Liangchen's virtuous wife, and in the middle period, she managed the Medicine Hall of the Poshan Gang.

Later, she even served as the Hall Master of the Merit Hall of the Luo Tian Society, in charge of personnel changes, merit judgment, and other responsibilities.

After years of training, it was no exaggeration to call her worldly-wise and transparent.

She saw it very clearly.

The reason Luo Chen did not hold a grudge against the past and recruited Min Longyu was clearly not because of the other party's Great Perfection of Qi Refining realm.

No matter how high the realm, it was not higher than Luo Chen and Wang Yuan.

It was because of the other party's outstanding array attainments that bloomed again and again!

Not giving a position now, and not mentioning salary, was just to grind the other party's temper.

In the future, he would definitely be reused.

Under this trend, she didn't mind helping Luo Chen.

Generous treatment was a fragrant bait!

"Take me for example!"

Murong Qinglian smiled slightly.

"As a Hall Master, my monthly salary is five hundred spirit stones. Plus one bottle of Dust-Transforming Pills, one box of Calming Incense, and a portion of Primordial Spirit Liquid specially provided by the Society Leader."

"I know Dust-Transforming Pills and Calming Incense; they are very suitable for ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators." Min Longyu nodded, then asked curiously: "What is Primordial Spirit Liquid?"

He knew there was Primordial Spirit Liquid on the market.

But that kind of common goods shouldn't be specially mentioned in the salary column, right!

Sure enough, Murong Qinglian's words made his breathing quicken.

"This Primordial Spirit Liquid was specially improved by the Society Leader based on the prescriptions on the market."

"It has miraculous effects in nourishing the cultivator's Qi and blood, physique, and meridians."

"With long-term medicinal baths, it has great benefits for breaking through to Foundation Establishment!"

Min Longyu's eyes lit up.

He asked himself that his preparations for Foundation Establishment were already very perfect.

Whether it was the purity of spiritual power or the soul foundation, they could be called the best among his peers.

Only in terms of physique, he had no way to start.

Those ordinary prescriptions on the market might be useful for early and middle-stage cultivators.

But for someone like him at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, the effect was negligible.

If he could obtain the Primordial Spirit Liquid bestowed by Luo Chen, wouldn't he be able to make his Foundation Establishment preparations even more sufficient?

Looking at Murong Qinglian with envy.

Min Longyu said: "I don't know when I will be able to enjoy such treatment and enjoy the body-refining spiritual medicine improved by Senior Dan Chenzi."

Murong Qinglian looked at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"If you only want Primordial Spirit Liquid, it's actually not difficult."

"Oh, how so?" Min Longyu's heart jumped.

"It's very simple; once you join the Society, there is a merit increase and decrease mechanism."

"If you can accumulate enough merit, you can exchange it for Primordial Spirit Liquid from Deacon President Sima Wenjie of the Merit Hall."

"Merit?"

Min Longyu muttered.

He was a person with a very strong sense of purpose.

His execution was also particularly strong.

The family was useless, so he followed Zhou Qing and went far to Mount Tianlan.

Wang Haichao was unrighteous, so he was unrighteous, directly defecting at the last minute.

Now following Luo Chen, making a Great Dao oath, and joining the Luo Tian Society.

Everything was for the sake of Foundation Establishment.

Then naturally, this Primordial Spirit Liquid that helped with Foundation Establishment could not be missed!

"Accumulating merit is not difficult; according to your specialty, contribute to the Luo Tian Society within your ability. Over time, you will be able to accumulate merit."

"Such as planting spiritual herbs in the Medicine Hall, refining pills in the Pill Hall, refining magic tools in the Tool Hall, etc..."

Min Longyu's eyes lit up, and he remembered the instructions Luo Chen had just given him.

"I heard Senior Dan Chenzi say that the Sky Eagle flying boat we are riding is severely damaged in its arrays?"

On the right track!

Murong Qinglian smiled: "Exactly, we urgently need your help."

"Within my ability, I will not refuse!"

Min Longyu patted his chest immediately.

It was just the array of a top-grade flying boat; it couldn't stump him.

After saying this, he turned and prepared to go accumulate merit.

Unexpectedly, Murong Qinglian called him back.

"Now that you are also a member of the Society, your identity token will soon be customized by the Tool Hall."

"In the future... don't call him Senior Dan Chenzi anymore."

Looking at those meaningful eyes, Min Longyu was stunned.

Immediately, he nodded solemnly.

"It should be so; the Society Leader can tolerate me, and I will naturally not let him down!"

After saying this, he turned and left.

Murong Qinglian smiled slightly and put away the roster.

After these recent events, the Luo Tian Society could be considered to have experienced another round of removing the dross and selecting the essential.

The cohesion of the surviving cultivators had reached a certain level.

I fear that compared to some small sects, it was even better.

After all, everyone had walked through it by supporting each other in battle after battle.

Even some loose cultivators who had grudges in the past began to truly identify with the identity of a Luo Tian Society cultivator.

And Min Longyu's joining could be considered to have completely made up for the Luo Tian Society's short board in the array path.

Duan Feng was ultimately better at casting magic tools.

Regarding arrays, he could only say he had dabbled in them, and definitely couldn't be called proficient.

"If he can succeed in Foundation Establishment, it is undoubtedly a fortunate event for the Luo Tian Society. Foundation Establishment... Foundation Establishment Pill..."

Murong Qinglian couldn't help but frown.

That Foundation Establishment Pill in Luo Chen's hand, wouldn't it be used by Min Longyu?

But if that were the case, wouldn't it be violating his promise back then?

Everything must be based on first come, first served, or fair rewards and punishments.

If he did this, perhaps it would damage Luo Chen's prestige in the hearts of the high-level cultivators in the Society.

"No!"

"What am I thinking."

"He is the Society Leader; who he gives it to depends on his mood. No matter how much I think, it's just worrying about nothing."

Shaking her head, Murong Qinglian stopped thinking about this matter.

However, in her heart, she had already made up her mind.

Cultivate to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining as soon as possible, so that she could request to use that Foundation Establishment Pill.

As for the one the Qin family originally had, she had never thought about it.

That was prepared for her husband, Qin Liangchen!

Min Longyu joined the Luo Tian Society!

This news quickly spread among the Luo Tian Society cultivators.

As soon as he joined, he wandered around the flying boat all day, taking a few late-stage Tool Hall cultivators to start repairing the arrays.

Even, he paid out of his own pocket, preparing to rebuild a set of Qinglan Arrays for the Sky Eagle flying boat.

This array belonged to a defensive array, which could form a wind barrier with the original wind-driving array.

The defensive performance was even better than the original defensive array.

Low-level cultivators were naturally happy to see this.

The better the flying boat's defense, the more guaranteed their safety would be.

At the very least, they wouldn't face the embarrassment of being bombed down to Gaoling Plain by a Foundation Establishment strike.

However, for the group of ninth-level Qi Refining experts in the Luo Tian Society, it was not so good.

Threat!

Min Longyu just joined, and he was so proactive.

Could it be because he loved this gang composed of loose cultivators?

It was clearly not!

What he was doing was to please Luo Chen.

What he was doing was for that Foundation Establishment Pill!

Because he had already reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and very much needed a Foundation Establishment spiritual pill.

How could this be!

That Foundation Establishment Pill had long been promised to them by Luo Chen, it was just that they hadn't cultivated to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining yet.

It was not that everyone would trust Luo Chen one hundred percent like Murong Qinglian.

While respecting and worshiping Luo Chen, everyone definitely had their own selfishness.

This had nothing to do with whether one's personality was noble or not, but was caused by the self-interested nature of humans since birth.

Under these circumstances.

The group of ninth-level Qi Refining experts in the Luo Tian Society had developed a hidden hostility toward Min Longyu.

Luo Chen in the quiet room naturally didn't know about these things.

Even if he knew, he would just laugh it off.

That Foundation Establishment Pill, he had long made it very clear to Min Longyu.

If this matter were spoken out, the little actions below would naturally subside.

But it was unnecessary!

With this fragrant bait, it could not only give those below a bit of competitive consciousness but also promote them to cultivate hard.

The experts of the Luo Tian Society were still too few!

If a few more Foundation Establishments could be produced.

Then many things wouldn't need him to worry so much.

Like the two Foundation Establishments Li Yixian and Nangong Jin, he didn't need to try so hard to win them over.

Leaving Gaoling Plain, five days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the quiet room.

Luo Chen's eyes widened, and he exerted his Spiritual Eye Art to the maximum.

He stared fixedly at the storage bag in front of him, his released spiritual sense like a weaver's shuttle, repeating back and forth, constantly probing.

Suddenly!

Luo Chen's heart moved, and a wisp of spiritual sense drilled into the storage bag.

From inside to outside, the restriction crumbled inch by inch!

"Finally unlocked the spiritual sense restriction of this old thing Duan Qiankun."

Luo Chen rubbed his eyebrows, although somewhat tired, his heart was filled with comfort.

He had obtained this item six or seven years ago.

After reaching Foundation Establishment, he spent three and a half years, wearing down the restriction whenever he had time.

Now it was barely unlocked.

He didn't rush to check the things inside.

Luo Chen instead calmed his heart, manipulated his released spiritual sense, and landed it on his own storage bag.

Supplemented by the input of spiritual power.

Soon, a micro-restriction was born.

Seeing this, Luo Chen couldn't help but grin and laugh.

"It's hard to say what's inside the storage bag."

"But to unlock this storage bag, I became familiar with some basic restriction methods, and my application of spiritual sense has become more and more proficient."

"At this moment, if I were to study the array path, I fear I could easily get started."

Luo Chen smiled.

This was as it should be!

His soul foundation was already powerful, and he had read the basic introduction to spiritual sense obtained by Gao Tingyuan from the Soul-Refining Loose Cultivator.

Later, in order to study the Fireball Art, he learned a part of the basic knowledge of the talisman path.

Plus having Duan Qiankun as this "teacher".

After three years, having these gains was a matter of course.

However, this was only just getting started.

To be proficient in this path, there were thousands of large and small restrictions, and if one wanted to construct them into an array, it required persistent research.

His ambition did not lie here.

"Let me see what good things you, the head of the Duan family, have left behind in your storage bag!"
