Chapter 224: There is no next time

After leaving the city, the Langqi flying boat converted to flight mode, which was not so eye-catching.

According to the map on the sand table in his memory.

Luo Chen took Sima Huiniang and flew at full speed, soon arriving outside Danxia Peak.

It was not as cold and clear as imagined.

On the contrary, the flow of people nearby was quite lively.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Luo Chen's spirit eyes kept turning, and then he nodded.

"Huiniang, go and ask about the current situation of Danxia Peak."

What Danxia Peak is like cannot just be listened to by Shi Lan's words.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong later.

It will be Luo Chen himself who suffers.

Sima Huiniang was not shy.

She used to run business with her brothers outside when she was young, and she was very familiar with this kind of thing.

Arriving in a strange place, inquiring about intelligence, she couldn't be more skilled.

As she walked toward a secluded valley shrouded in shadows under the mountain peak, Luo Chen put his hands behind his back and looked up at the high mountain in front of him.

High!

This was Luo Chen's first impression.

Secondly, it was the unique plant environment.

At the foot of the mountain, a small river flowed murmuringly, as if flowing out of the Biyou Valley, and the banks on both sides were full of purple bamboo.

This was the Zilan bamboo transplanted by the Min family from the Bamboo Sea back then.

If it grows to Tier 2, it is very suitable for making wind and string magic treasures.

It's a pity that after many years, the Zilan bamboo here is not to mention Tier 2, even Tier 1 is rare.

Growing on the roadside, no one would ignore spirit bamboo of high grade.

Crossing the foot of the mountain, it is the foothills.

Large areas of fiery red maple leaves, like burning fire clouds, covered Danxia Peak front and back.

On the mountainside, the color changed suddenly.

There were fewer fire maples, only one or two dotted.

Occupying the majority were cyan Qinggang wood and golden Jinhuang wood.

Cyan and gold colors, reflecting each other, were beautiful.

As for the top and tip of the mountain, they couldn't be seen.

They were all shrouded in layers of white mist, not revealing their true colors.

Finally, what caught Luo Chen's attention was the escape lights flying wantonly.

They were all Qi Refining rogue cultivators, mostly late-stage Qi Refining.

"Really treating this as their own home!"

Luo Chen smiled.

He had no malice toward these rogue cultivators.

If he were in their shoes, he would also want to possess a spiritual vein land without paying rent.

But now, these people were encroaching on his interests.

Then he couldn't be blamed for not being righteous.

After a while.

Sima Huiniang flew out of Biyou Valley.

Landed in front of Luo Chen.

"Society Master, I've asked about everything."

"Tell me."

"On Danxia Peak, there are eight hundred rogue cultivators, each choosing a place to live, mostly located at the bottom and mountainside."

"Thanks to the Tier 1 earth fire vein here, plus the special geographical advantages. Biyou Valley has formed a micro-market, and there are also earth fire caves for rent."

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows.

Micro-market?

Earth fire caves?

The former he understood; where there are people, there is trade.

But the latter.

Under Luo Chen's gaze, Sima Huiniang said excitedly: "These earth fire caves are opened up and can be rented out to rogue cultivators for alchemy, casting, or even for fire-attribute cultivators to cultivate."

"Rent out? Who is the landlord?"

"Divine Work Sect and the Geng family."

Luo Chen shook his head, "Sure enough, Ice Lan Palace didn't manage this side much, and there are people borrowing spirit mountains to make profit, and they don't know."

"Do they have a resident Foundation Establishment here?"

"That's not there!" Sima Huiniang pursed her red lips, her eyes flickering: "If we move in, these opened earth fire caves can just be used by our Alchemy Hall and Artifact Hall."

Luo Chen said hmm.

This is a major project that must be done; originally, he wanted to ask the Mount Ailao cultivators for help.

Now that others have arranged it in advance, it saves trouble.

However, he is most concerned

"How many Foundation Establishment cultivators are on the mountain?"

When the conversation reached this point, Sima Huiniang's expression became somewhat solemn.

"There are three Foundation Establishment cultivators on the mountain in total, one is at the first level of Foundation Establishment, named Cao Yunchun. The other two are a couple, the man is at the second level of Foundation Establishment, and the woman has just entered Foundation Establishment."

"What is their reputation? What is their strength? Do they have any notable signature methods? Do they have any power background behind them?"

One question after another was thrown out.

Sima Huiniang was not flustered; she already knew that Luo Chen cared most about these things.

She had already spent spirit stones in Biyou Valley to have people inquire about them.

After each answer was given.

Luo Chen smiled.

"Those who have fallen to the point of occupying a first-grade spiritual vein are indeed loose cultivators who won't amount to much."

"Alright, let's go back!"

Sima Huiniang boarded the flying boat and looked back at Danxia Peak.

This was their future home.

Although three major Foundation Establishment cultivators were entrenched there, anyone who came would have to treat it carefully.

But for some reason, in Luo Chen's smile, she did not feel the slightest worry.

This was the strong trust brought to her by Luo Chen's repeated victories along the way.

With the President here, nothing is a problem!

"Husband, what are you looking at?"

Gan Xiaoyan looked at Bian Zhong in confusion; the other party was standing in front of the cliff garden they had cleared, his expression quite solemn.

Bian Zhong shook his head, a trace of worry appearing in his expression.

"Just now, a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the foot of the mountain scanned Danxia Peak unscrupulously."

"What's strange about that?"

Gan Xiaoyan was puzzled.

Foundation Establishment peers passing by here in the past would also investigate Danxia Peak.

But it was only a place with a first-grade spiritual vein, not catching their eye, so she wasn't worried.

Bian Zhong sighed, "I'm afraid the visitor is not well-intentioned!"

He saw it clearly!

The other party didn't just scan it casually, but stopped at the foot of the mountain for a long time.

I'm afraid they also have designs on this Danxia Peak.

Gan Xiaoyan shrugged, "So what if the visitor is not well-intentioned? Including Fellow Daoist Cao Yunchun, we are three Foundation Establishment cultivators, which can be considered a not-weak force among loose cultivators."

"Unless Tianlan Immortal City sends someone to take action, who would go to war with us over a first-grade spiritual mountain that is not suitable for cultivation."

Bian Zhong shook his head, not wanting to argue further.

Saying too much would only make people think he was worrying unnecessarily.

He thought for a moment, "Are the saved spirit stones enough?"

Mentioning spirit stones, Gan Xiaoyan couldn't help but nod happily.

"Almost, one more year of saving, and we can go to Tianlan Peak to rent a second-grade cave dwelling. By then, you cultivate during the day, I cultivate at night, and our stagnant cultivation realm will definitely improve quickly!"

"Is it still short one year's worth of spirit stones?"

Bian Zhong frowned deeply.

After a long while, he made up his mind and said: "A place like Danxia Peak is not suitable for us Foundation Establishment cultivators to cultivate; we must move as soon as possible."

"Just relying on being a retainer for cultivation families earns too little."

"Next month, I'll go take some jobs!"

Lü Xiaoyan's expression changed.

"Husband, you must not get involved in the war of the upper sects!"

"Rest assured, I still value my life very much." Bian Zhong rubbed her soft hair dotingly, "The jobs I find aren't that dangerous."

"That's good."

Tianlan Peak, slightly above the foothills, slightly below the mountainside, in a quiet cave dwelling.

Luo Chen sat cross-legged, his whole mind focused on his body.

In his vast sea of Qi.

A vortex of spiritual power was rotating rapidly.

Streams of spiritual energy surged out in a spiral form, impacting the edge of the sea of Qi.

Every impact would scrape away the solidified black substance at the edge of the sea of Qi.

The black substance is the barrier formed after taking too many elixirs.

Since the dantian turned into a sea.

These elixir poison barriers not only did not disappear but merged into the sea of Qi.

Before solving these elixir poisons, Luo Chen dared not take elixirs to accelerate cultivation.

Therefore, he had had a lot of time recently to deal with the trivial matters of the Luo Tian Society.

But in his heart, there was always a sense of urgency!

"Two thousand years!"

"If I cannot use elixirs to cultivate, with my aptitude, the demand for spiritual power means it will take two thousand years to reach the perfection of Foundation Establishment and reach the False Core realm."

"The cultivation of the Qingyuan Wonderful Elixir Method must be persisted in."

"Ugh!"

With a muffled groan, Luo Chen opened his eyes, covered in sweat.

He wiped his finger lightly on his skin.

A layer of slightly black sweat appeared on his fingertip.

This meant that a trace amount of elixir poison had been expelled once again.

He stood up.

He went to the living room and washed thoroughly with clean water.

Changing into clean undergarments, he finally felt refreshed.

Luo Chen's heart stirred, and the attribute panel appeared before his eyes.

His gaze fell on the cultivation realm first.

Since leaving Dahefang, his long-stagnant realm finally had a slight change after nine days of cultivation on Tianlan Peak.

【Realm: Foundation Establishment Second Level/100】

This was not just the credit of nine days, but also contained the persistent efforts and accumulation of Luo Chen along the way.

But the biggest credit was still these nine days!

A second-grade spiritual vein cave dwelling, even if it is only low-grade, is far superior to a cultivation environment without a spiritual vein.

However, it was still too slow.

Cultivating at this speed, two thousand years is really no joke.

Sighing, Luo Chen glanced at the proficiency of the Yi Mu Medicine King Scripture.

It had increased a bit, but it was still stuck at the perfect level.

The Great Perfection Changchun Gong could only barely push the Yi Mu Medicine King Scripture to the perfect level.

After this, the foundation was exhausted.

Cultivation techniques are also an important factor affecting the absorption of spiritual energy!

However, this matter is not urgent.

Operating it every day, the "Yi Mu Medicine King Scripture" will sooner or later have a day of Great Perfection.

Thinking of the many changes brought about by the Great Perfection of the Changchun Gong back then.

Luo Chen was very much looking forward to the changes when his main cultivation technique advanced to the master level, or even the Great Perfection level.

Finally, Luo Chen's attention fell on the entry in the elixir technique column.

Yes, elixir technique!

His method of dissolving poison does not belong to cultivation techniques, nor does it belong to spells, but is a type of elixir technique!

【Qingyuan Wonderful Elixir Method Entry 78/100】

Seeing this proficiency, the corner of Luo Chen's mouth finally revealed a smile.

"It doesn't seem that difficult after all!"

According to the description on the jade slip, the "Qingyuan Wonderful Elixir Method" takes several months to get started, and it takes three to five years to reach the standard of completely clearing elixir poison.

To reach Great Success, it would take more than ten years of effort.

But it only took him a few days to get started.

Now, it is only a few months away from the small success stage, which is the proficiency or mastery level.

"Small success can inhibit the generation of new elixir poison."

"By then, I can resume cultivating with the help of elixirs."

"This is indeed good news!"

Regarding this good news, after Luo Chen was happy, he was still very calm.

All of this was earned by his own efforts!

Every day, besides operating the "Yi Mu Medicine King Scripture" to cultivate and refining the Lankes Black Chess and the Xuanhuo Sword, almost all his energy was placed on the cultivation of the "Qingyuan Wonderful Elixir Method."

Otherwise, where would such a fast proficiency improvement come from?

After small success, it can inhibit the generation of new elixir poison.

After mastering it, one can completely solve the residual elixir poison.

If one can reach Great Success, there are even more wonderful benefits!

Especially the effect of extracting essence from elixir poison made Luo Chen covet it endlessly.

What does that mean?

It means that for the same elixir, he can digest and absorb it better than others, maximizing the utilization rate!

Taking a deep breath, Luo Chen took out a black chess piece and a small sword from his storage bag.

The chess piece is the Lanke Chess, and the sword is the Xuanhuo Sword.

These two can exist as ultimate trump cards.

They must be thoroughly refined so that they can be used like one's own arms.

Luo Chen closed his eyes, and the abundant spiritual energy in his body flowed out slowly, supplemented by the external release of spiritual sense, and began to wrap around one of the magic treasures.

Only in this way can enough spiritual power imprints be left on it.

Not only that, Luo Chen also put in a little bit of thought.

According to Duan Qiankun's understanding, he used spiritual sense to construct tiny restrictions one by one to tighten the connection between the magic treasure and himself.

He didn't know how others refined magic treasures.

Anyway, he felt that his current method was very good.

Previously, it had a particularly good effect on the refining of the Chongfan Seal.

The refining time for a general top-grade magic tool, if not carried out by blood sacrifice, takes at least several months of effort.

But on the way to Tianlan City, he had completely finished refining the Chongfan Seal.

From this, it can be seen that this method of combining spiritual power imprints with spiritual sense restrictions indeed has miraculous effects.

Time.

Slowly passed by in the alternating refining.

When Luo Chen stopped refining, the sky outside was already bright.

Luo Chen put away the two magic treasures and opened the soundproofing array, confusion array, and defensive array of the cave dwelling.

Yes, all the cave dwellings on Tianlan Peak are built with triple arrays!

Soundproofing, confusion, defense.

As the arrays were unlocked one by one, the rumbling sound of the waterfall crashing down poured into his ears.

Luo Chen's mind stirred, and he cast two sound-transmission talismans, which flew toward two nearby cave dwellings respectively.

Inside the cave dwelling.

Nangong Jin opened his eyes, feeling the sound-transmission talisman flying aimlessly on the array outside, his mind stirred.

Before long, the sound-transmission talisman flew in like a butterfly.

He cast a stream of spiritual power.

The sound-transmission talisman burned slowly.

Luo Chen's voice also came out from it.

"Fellow Daoist, it's time to set off!"

At the same time.

On the side of Li Yixian's cave dwelling, this scene was also happening.

"Fellow Daoist, it's time to set off!"

Li Yixian's eyes trembled slightly, and she rose to her feet.

Her slender and graceful body stretched out, how beautiful.

She wiped her hand across her face, and it returned to that plain and ordinary appearance.

"Fine!"

"Along the way, I have received much care from Luo Chen, so today I will put in some effort for him!"

"Safe journey, everyone!"

"In the future, when you enter the city and need a place to stay, come to our Tongfu Inn!"

In an alley in the north of the city, the innkeeper smiled and saw off a large group of people.

In the courtyard, the cultivators of the Nangong family and the Li family looked at the members of the Luo Tian Society who were about to leave.

"Have they found a base?"

"I heard the president of the Luo Tian Society spent a huge sum of money to rent a mountain!"

"How big?"

"Over a hundred thousand spirit stones!"

"Hiss! Is it that terrifying?"

"Otherwise, why would people say the Luo Tian Society is wealthy and imposing. I don't know where our Li family will go in the future."

"Yeah, staying in an inn all the time is not the way."

"I really want to follow and see their new home."

"I don't know why they won't let us follow them; staying in this inn every day is suffocating."

"Stop complaining, have your injuries healed?"

Amidst the heated discussion, more than a hundred Luo Tian Society cultivators, led by Sima Huiniang, left Tianlan Immortal City.

When passing the drawbridge of the moat, Sima Huiniang greeted Xu Jingnian in a friendly manner.

Xu Jingnian smiled and waved, and even shouted.

"Liuzi, don't be lazy, be a good guide for these fellow Daoists!"

Liuzi nodded repeatedly, following the main force, flying toward the boat parking lot.

According to today's arrangement.

It was to go to the boat parking lot first and take a flying boat to Danxia Peak.

That place is still some distance from Tianlan Immortal City, and flying separately is prone to accidents.

Taking a flying boat together only takes half an hour.

However, when Sima Huiniang and the others arrived at the boat parking lot, what they saw was a scene of swords drawn and bows bent.

The three major Foundation Establishment cultivators led by Luo Chen stood beside Lu Rong of the Divine Craft Sect, and fierce arguments broke out from time to time.

Luo Chen's face was gloomy, looking around, and finally his gaze fell on the small pavilion in the middle.

"Is this how Tianlan Immortal City manages things?"

Lu Rong sneered, "Catching a thief requires catching them with the stolen goods; you can't slander me with just your empty words."

Behind Luo Chen, Duan Feng and Min Longyu's faces turned red.

"It was definitely you who tampered with it, otherwise our flying boat couldn't possibly fail to start!"

Lu Rong sneered, "Is a broken flying boat worth me tampering with?"

Duan Feng wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Luo Chen.

"It is indeed a broken flying boat, but that is not a reason for you not to tamper with it."

He took a deep look at that small pavilion.

There was no reaction at all!

In that case...

Luo Chen walked to the Sky Eagle flying boat.

Previously, he had brought Duan Feng and Min Longyu here, wanting to start the flying boat in advance so that he could carry the Luo Tian Society cultivators away.

But he didn't expect that the flying boat would fail to start.

Lu Rong even stood out with a smile, saying he could help them with emergency repairs.

It only needed one spirit stone.

The mockery in his words was undisguised.

This business, he was determined to do.

What he was regaining was his face!

"Face?"

"Hmph!"

Luo Chen snorted coldly, his right hand held vertically, and the majestic spiritual energy was looming.

Lu Rong's expression changed slightly.

"What are you doing, want to spar?"

Luo Chen ignored him and looked at the pavilion again.

Then he suddenly slapped the Sky Eagle flying boat with his palm.

Mountain-Breaking Palm!

A thick beam of spiritual energy sprayed out, piercing through the Sky Eagle flying boat from head to tail.

Crack, crack...

In the eyes of everyone, the Sky Eagle flying boat shattered inch by inch, almost turning into powder.

Those powders surprisingly did not fly around, demonstrating Luo Chen's meticulous control of spiritual power.

This scene stunned everyone.

Luo Chen waved his hand, turned around, and stared at Lu Rong.

"You want to do my business?"

"Fine!"

"Sweep the floor!"

After speaking, he threw a spirit stone, which fell to the ground in front of Lu Rong.

Lu Rong's face turned red, then white, then red, then green.

Finally, he stared at Luo Chen tremblingly.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Three "goods" in a row could not express the anger in his heart.

"Hmph!"

Luo Chen couldn't be bothered to look at him again and directly released the Langqi flying boat.

After injecting spiritual power, the flying boat kept expanding, and in an instant, it turned into fifty zhang long!

Such a huge flying boat, even in this boat parking lot, was rare.

Top-grade large flying boat!

"Board the boat!"

Luo Chen flew up directly, Nangong Jin and Li Yixian looked at each other in surprise, and also hurriedly boarded the boat.

Duan Feng and Min Longyu had already excitedly drilled in, preparing to familiarize themselves with the controls.

When all the Luo Tian Society cultivators boarded the boat, with an order, the Langqi flying boat roared and turned into a stream of light and flew away.

And in the boat parking lot.

Lu Rong, under the gaze of the cultivators of the two shops next door, had a face that was extremely red.

"Damn it, an upstart from out of town, who are you showing off to!"

He cursed in a low voice and turned to go back into the shop.

However, a voice came faintly from the pavilion.

"Sweep the floor!"

Lu Rong's body stiffened.

He opened his mouth, trying to argue something.

However, that faint voice made him finally lower his head.

"You were the one who insisted on doing his business."

"Before, I didn't speak up, leaving you enough face."

"Now, others have paid the money, and what they bought is your face."

"If you are unwilling, then in the future, the Divine Craft Sect can stop working here in the boat parking lot."

Lu Rong closed his eyes and turned around suddenly.

He picked up a broom and swept vigorously.

The cultivators of the two families next door couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, how can you do business like this?"

"In my opinion, it's better to leave early, and let us do this business!"

"Yeah, yeah, our two families can completely handle your share."

Lu Rong glared over, wanting to say something.

However, a warning came, making him lower his head again.

"There won't be a next time."
