Chapter 233: Do you hope he succeeds? Entering the Jade Yu Yu Ludan

~15 min read 2,860 words

Curling sandalwood incense, curling green smoke.

A Daoist sat cross-legged in a cold and quiet room, hands flipping, palms facing the sky, pinching seemingly ordinary spiritual seals.

Under the misty smoke, the Daoist's face was not that calm.

Instead, it appeared somewhat ferocious.

His lips were half-open and half-closed, and between breaths, the sandalwood incense turned into two green gas dragons, drilling into his nostrils.

At that moment, there seemed to be a great pressure leaking out in the quiet room.

This is a sign of a cultivator unable to control the release of spiritual sense, which usually only appears in those who have just entered Foundation Establishment.

Now that it appeared on Luo Chen, it was extremely rare.

Suddenly.

Luo Chen let out a muffled groan, his eyes opened, as if lightning was blooming in the room.

The empty room gave birth to electricity!

He flicked his finger, and a spiritual power shot towards the sandalwood incense that had burned halfway.

Sss...

The sandalwood incense went out, the lingering fragrance curling.

Luo Chen couldn't help but press his brow with one hand, rubbing it gently.

"Worthy of being called the Fierce God Incense that only late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators can use!"

"The stimulation to the soul is actually this fierce."

"If I hadn't woken up in time, I'm afraid that if I continued to absorb it, my soul would have fallen into extreme fatigue after being overly excited."

He took a deep breath.

Looking at the half-cut sandalwood incense, he pondered in his heart.

This Fierce God Incense is a type of spirit incense developed by the Food Fragrance Master of the Hundred Flowers Palace; the conditions for use are harsh, and the price is also very expensive.

But the effect is truly one penny for one penny's worth.

Just half a stick of spirit incense made his soul enter an excited state.

From the previous five times a day of operating his natal cultivation technique, it increased to seven times.

Two more times added.

If looked at from the efficiency of improvement, it is negligible.

But if persisted in for a long time, the benefits to Luo Chen would be considerable.

"If I could fully absorb a whole stalk of Fierce God Incense, the number of times the cultivation technique operates might be increased to the limit of ten times!"

"In this way, even without pill assistance, it could increase my cultivation speed by nearly a fold."

"In the end, my soul foundation, which I am quite proud of, is still not enough."

From the use of Fierce God Incense.

Luo Chen gradually figured out the gap between his current soul foundation and other Foundation Establishment True Persons.

Stronger than early-stage Foundation Establishment.

Not as good as late-stage Foundation Establishment great cultivators.

It should be at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment level, and it is the upper level, very close to late-stage Foundation Establishment.

"A bit of a pity."

"During Foundation Establishment, spiritual energy washes the whole body's meridians, the dantian turns into a sea of Qi, and the soul can be released to form spiritual sense. This is the best time to reshape the foundation of the Great Dao."

"At that time, the stronger the soul foundation, the greater the increase in spiritual sense after Foundation Establishment."

"I thought it was strong enough, but I didn't expect it was still not enough."

Shaking his head, Luo Chen stopped thinking about this matter.

He only felt it was a pity, but he didn't regret it.

Back then, the most urgent thing was Foundation Establishment.

There was no reason to suppress the realm just to increase the soul foundation without limit.

If it happened again, he would still choose to invest all his energy into breaking through Foundation Establishment without hesitation.

And now, it's not like there's no remedy!

If it were someone else, they might only be able to endure it bitterly.

Endure for ten or a hundred years, letting time accumulate the soul foundation bit by bit, normally reaching late-stage Foundation Establishment.

But he has a shortcut to take!

Deep-Penetrating Pill!

Now, just the low-grade ones are useless.

Then what about mid-grade? High-grade? Or even top-grade Deep-Penetrating Pills?

Luo Chen had already decided!

While refining Jade Marrow Pills on a large scale at Danxia Peak, he should also refine Deep-Penetrating Pills, striving to brush up the proficiency.

And this kind of pill, even if it has the hidden danger of dreaming in the deep, will definitely not lack a market.

Mid-grade and high-grade are useless, he can also consume them within the Luo Tian Society, or sell them externally, to recoup the cost.

Thoughts flowed endlessly.

Thoughts were mixed and messy.

That gradually excited mental state also gradually returned to calm.

Luo Chen looked inside his sea of Qi; the first layer was already full, and in the second layer, one drop of spiritual liquid after another had accumulated to one-fourth.

The work of last night, compared to the past, indeed gained a little bit more.

Specific data couldn't be obtained yet.

But it showed that the Rising Dragon Pill and Fierce God Incense indeed had effects on him!

"Persist!"

"One day, the nine layers of the sea of Qi will all be filled, and in that vast ocean of spiritual power, my Golden Core will be born!"

Three days later.

Outside Tianlan Peak, a streak of light flew "slowly."

The reason for the slowness was compared to the Foundation Establishment True Persons who often entered and exited here.

In reality, compared to the bottom level, those Qi Refining stage cultivators in the 1st-tier high-grade cave dwellings, this flight speed was still a step faster.

Just because the master of the light was Elder Min Longyu, who had been at the Qi Refining perfection for a long time!

While flying, looking at the tall mountain peaks all around, clouds and mist grew between the cliffs.

Appearing and disappearing, there were cave dwellings hidden among them.

Spirit beasts climbed, and immortal cranes danced.

Giant waterfalls hung from the nine heavens, and from time to time, spirit fish jumped, trying to swim against the current.

But under the great power of heaven and earth, they unwillingly fell.

Amidst the dazzling sight, following the guidance of the jade pendant, Duan Feng landed in front of a platform.

The small courtyard outside was vacant.

Saying it was vacant was also inappropriate; it just had some flowers and plants planted that had no value to cultivators, purely for looks.

From this, it can be seen that the master of this mansion had no intention of living here for a long time.

It seemed that knowing of his arrival, the clouds and mist gradually dissipated, and the formation vanished.

Elder Min Longyu tidied his clothes and paced inside.

Upon entering, he happened to see Luo Chen, wearing a dusty Daoist robe, busy in a room.

He just watched for a while, then said in surprise: "President, are you setting up an alchemy room?"

Luo Chen didn't look back, busy with his own things.

But he still replied.

"Tianlan Peak provides an Earth Fire outlet for every 2nd-tier cave dwelling."

"I'll set it up first, and then let the Ice Wave Palace cultivators come to draw the Earth Fire up."

"Might as well use it since it's there!"

Thud!

The three legs of the Yin Sixiang Cauldron landed steadily on the open space.

That Earth Fire outlet happened to be right below.

Although a bit rough, it couldn't compare to the carefully arranged layout of the Ailao Mountain cultivators.

But compared to the alchemy room he constructed himself at the beginning, it was still much better.

Luo Chen turned around with satisfaction and clapped his hands.

"Did you bring everything?"

Elder Min Longyu nodded repeatedly, took out a storage bag, and respectfully handed it to Luo Chen.

"Everything is inside."

"Some materials have also been carefully processed by Qu Lingjun and his people according to your instructions."

Luo Chen didn't avoid it.

In front of Elder Min Longyu, he poured everything out of the storage bag, and the dense pile filled a corner of the living room.

Squatting down, Luo Chen began to inspect the processing of each medicinal material.

After a while.

He let out a long sigh of relief.

"Not bad, Lingjun's processing of materials has reached another level."

"No need to send them back to be repurchased."

Turning his head to look, he found Elder Min Longyu somewhat absent-minded.

Pondering slightly in his heart, Luo Chen knew what the other party was probably thinking about.

However, he still asked:

"What are you thinking about?"

Elder Min Longyu answered absent-mindedly: "I just feel that the spiritual energy in your cave dwelling is so abundant; if a Qi Refining cultivator practiced here, it would surely be twice the result with half the effort, and they would step into Qi Refining perfection early."

Insincere!

You yourself have already reached Qi Refining perfection, so you wouldn't care about these.

Smiling slightly, Luo Chen walked outside the cave dwelling.

Elder Min Longyu followed subconsciously.

Arriving at the platform outside, his gaze fell on a rock wall relatively lower down opposite.

Luo Chen pointed.

"Duan Feng is in there."

Gulp!

A clearly audible swallowing sound.

Elder Min Longyu stared blankly at that place, muttering: "I wonder if he succeeded?"

"Do you hope he succeeds?"

"That's natural!"

This answer had no hesitation at all.

It was almost blurted out, sincere and resolute!

Luo Chen smiled.

If Feng Xia had answered this question, it wouldn't be strange to have this answer.

But Elder Min Longyu and Duan Feng were not related by blood or friendship.

Yet having such absolute support was quite interesting.

He looked at the other party, his gaze carrying a scrutinizing taste.

Suddenly.

"You don't have confidence?"

Elder Min Longyu looked up in astonishment, meeting Luo Chen's eyes that seemed to be able to see through his soul.

He shook his head repeatedly. "No, how could that be? I am full of confidence!"

"Really?" Luo Chen shook his head. "I don't believe it."

Elder Min Longyu opened his mouth, finally feeling a bit dejected.

With a bitter smile on his face, he said bitterly: "The President's eyes are like torches; you truly saw through my innermost thoughts at a glance."

Luo Chen smacked his lips.

This wasn't something he saw with his eyes.

It was Elder Min Longyu's reaction that told him personally.

He hoped for Duan Feng's success more than anyone else from the bottom of his heart.

Not because of any interest or emotion.

Purely hoping that the other party's success could give him a few more points of confidence when he breaks through to Foundation Establishment in the future.

It's just that simple... that's all!

After all, in terms of foundation, means, and realm, he, Elder Min Longyu, is much stronger than Duan Feng.

There's no reason why Duan Feng can succeed and he cannot.

Therefore, he hoped for Duan Feng's success.

"Sigh... I don't know why, the more I prepare, the more I feel I have no clue."

"Clearly, I've been at Qi Refining perfection for over three years, and I've polished my spiritual power to be more pure than anyone else."

"My soul is not weak, and my weakest physique has been gradually supplemented by the medicinal bath of Cultivation-Nurturing Spirit Liquid this past year."

"But..."

Speaking of this.

Elder Min Longyu paused, looking enviously at the cave dwelling on the opposite mountain wall.

"I envy Duan Feng for being able to directly charge into the Foundation Establishment stage just after reaching Qi Refining perfection."

"Unlike me."

"The longer I drag it out, the more afraid I become."

Listening to these words, Luo Chen also nodded secretly in his heart.

Cultivation is a matter of grinding, accumulating bit by bit; the more solid, the better.

But breaking through a realm has always been about making a single effort, then declining, then exhausting.

Luo Chen himself, after reaching Qi Refining perfection back then, had no time to attend to other things and put down everything to charge into Foundation Establishment.

It looked like five Foundation Establishments, but in reality, he held onto that breath in his heart and finally succeeded in one go!

Preparation should be done before the realm is perfect.

Not after perfection, then temporarily embracing the Buddha's feet!

Of course, on the surface, he naturally wouldn't say that.

"Don't think too much."

"A thousand people have a thousand kinds of opportunities."

"Everyone's cultivation path is different."

Looking at the uneasy Elder Min Longyu, Luo Chen said leisurely: "You specialize in formation Dao; doesn't it talk about being fully prepared, the great formation rising, and controlling all things?"

"Applied to your personal realm breakthrough, I think it's the same principle."

Elder Min Longyu was stunned.

He kept reciting Luo Chen's words, constantly savoring them.

For a long time, he finally came to his senses.

This time, there was finally a bit more confident light in his eyes.

Before Luo Chen could react, he bowed deeply to Luo Chen.

"Thank you, President, for the guidance!"

Luo Chen paused, then waved his hand.

"Just a few words, not worth calling guidance."

"Alright, I have things to do, you go ahead!"

Elder Min Longyu said "hmm," steered his flying sword, and left Tianlan Peak.

Watching his departing back, Luo Chen rubbed his prickly chin, where stubble was growing out again.

Could those words really have been useful?

He was just comforting him casually.

"But if it really has an effect, it can be considered an unintentional willow."

"Elder Min Longyu establishing Foundation is always a good thing for me."

Glancing at the opposite cave dwelling, Luo Chen suppressed the expectation in his heart and turned into the cave dwelling.

Just as he entered, he saw a petite shadow moving those stacked medicinal materials.

One by one, placing them on the shelves Luo Chen had purchased in advance.

Categorized, orderly.

Grades separated, medicinal properties separated, taboo items separated from each other.

The neat and eye-catching arrangement made Luo Chen almost think he had entered the Hundred Herbs Hall upon first glance.

The benefits of arranging them this way were definitely much better than his previous messy way.

At least when refining pills, there wouldn't be the awkward situation of not finding the needed materials.

"I almost forgot, Xiao Ling, you were a maid in the Hundred Herbs Hall before!"

Under the tall shelf.

Bai Meiling's ghostly body flew up and down.

Hearing Luo Chen's words, she turned her neck a full one hundred and eighty degrees, twisting her head back eerily.

"Is that so?"

"I just feel that this arrangement is the most comfortable, the most natural."

Lively and naive tone.

It was just the way she spoke that made Luo Chen feel creepy.

"Don't twist your head like that next time, be like a normal person!"

Gurgle...

Bai Meiling twisted her little head back, turned her body, and said as a matter of course:

"But I'm a ghost!"

Luo Chen's expression became solemn. "No, you are a person. You cultivate a ghost body, but your heart is still a human heart; on the path of the Great Dao, don't treat yourself as an alien."

Bai Meiling curled her lips.

She didn't understand these words.

Luo Chen wouldn't chat much either; the "Soul Refining True Art" she mainly cultivated was incomplete, missing some core things.

This led to Bai Meiling, even if she found some memories, having many emotional deficiencies.

And her cognition of herself always had deviations.

"Perhaps after she cultivates the Soul-Fixing Oath, the situation will be better."

Muttering, Luo Chen came to the alchemy room.

His gaze wandered over the Yin Sixiang Cauldron and the dazzling array of medicinal materials on the shelf.

Flipping his palm, the Hundred Flower Dew appeared in his hand and was transported by spiritual power to a prominent position on the shelf that Bai Meiling had specially left empty.

Now, all the materials for Jade Dew Pills were complete, so it was time to try entering the gate.

"As a 2nd-tier alchemist, how can I be stuck on 1st-tier pills every day."

"Not to mention refining pills across tiers, but I should have some pursuit!"

"Refine 2nd-tier Jade Dew Pills and become a genuine 2nd-tier alchemist!"

Smiling slightly, a yellowed bamboo slip appeared in his hand, and at the same time, he clicked on the attribute panel.

【Jade Yu Yu Ludan, 2nd-tier complete pill formula, whether to enter the gate】

"Enter the gate!"

In the skill column, the entry "Jade Yu Yu Ludan" slowly emerged.

With a thought, ten achievement points turned into flowing light and injected into it.

In an instant, the entry's light flickered.

After it calmed down.

【Jade Yu Yu Ludan Entry 1/100】

The spirit stone error for purchasing Rising Dragon Pills has been corrected.

It should have been eighteen thousand, but it was calculated as sixteen thousand, not calculated according to 0, but according to 00.

This wave is Little Rain being dizzy.
