Chapter 235: Duan Feng comes out of seclusion, successfully establishes foundation, spirit stones arrive, smash them all

"Just a small amount of spirit stones, and I'll do them for you!"

The simple and kind Luo Chen.

After hearing these bold words with undisguised killing intent.

His small heart received a great shock.

Are people in Tianlan Immortal City all this unrestrained?

He couldn't help but ask: "Fellow Daoist, do you have a grudge against them?"

Chu Kui blinked, "No grudges in the past, no grudges today."

"Then you..."

"Sigh! This is just helping others in their time of need, meeting others' needs. Fellow Daoist Luo, don't you have needs in this regard?"

Chu Kui patted his broad chest and said confidently:

"Leave this matter to me, you can be worry-free!"

Luo Chen shook his head.

He was still far from being at daggers drawn with those two factions.

In fact, thanks to Sima Huiniang's efforts, the relationship between the Geng family and the Luo Tian Society had gradually eased.

The other party would move into Biyou Valley again before long.

As for the Divine Art Sect, it was nothing more than a matter of losing a bit of face.

If they were to go to war over this.

Then cultivators might as well stop cultivating and just bombard each other with magic tools every day.

Of course, necessary precautions still had to be taken.

The current Luo Tian Society was in a situation of waiting to be rebuilt and recuperating.

As long as they could hold on through this recent period, the Luo Tian Society could truly take root in Tianlan Immortal City.

Start a war lightly?

Extremely unwise!

Seeing Luo Chen shake his head, Chu Kui couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed.

That disappointed expression fell into Luo Chen's eyes.

He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Since Fellow Daoist is so... righteous! I imagine there are many people in Tianlan Immortal City who need your help! Why, uniquely, did you seek out my Luo Tian Society?"

Chu Kui said as a matter of course: "That's naturally because I think you can afford the price to hire me!"

Luo Chen's eyes flashed.

Chu Kui smiled and filled the cups with Taibai Wine again for the two of them.

"It's not that I deliberately inquired, but your wealth, Fellow Daoist, is definitely not as poor as others think."

"Oh? How can you tell?"

Chu Kui pointed to his feet, then pointed to the mountainside above.

"When you first came to Tianlan, you rented a second-grade cave dwelling, and even found Ice Fortress cultivators to reserve a second-grade high-grade cave dwelling. This is not the style of a poor rogue cultivator from out of town."

"Perhaps some people will think you are putting on airs."

"But I don't think so! After all, being able to rent Danxia Peak for ten years casually, you should be very wealthy."

Luo Chen nodded in understanding.

He knew that his series of actions after arriving at Tianlan Immortal City were not secret.

As long as one was willing to inquire, one could know a thing or two.

This violated his personal principle of not revealing wealth.

But he was not alone; he had a faction under his command, and he had also shown extraordinary strength.

Only in this way, having both money and strength, would he and the Luo Tian Society have fewer obstacles in their initial development.

Operating a faction and being a lone rogue cultivator are completely different philosophies.

The latter is extremely careful, with survival as the priority.

The former, however, is best done openly and boldly, with interests as the priority.

Only by showing sufficient strength can one gain the respect of others.

What Luo Chen didn't understand was, "Since you have no grudges with the Divine Art Sect, why not seek them out? And then, turn around and deal with my Luo Tian Society?"

"Pfft!"

Chu Kui sneered.

"That group of poor ghosts can't afford the price to hire me."

Luo Chen became interested.

He asked with a smile: "I wonder what is your charging standard for one action, Fellow Daoist?"

"That's simple!"

Chu Kui's eyes shone with "gold" light.

"Like dealing with a faction composed of early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators like the Divine Art Sect, 100, 00! As long as there are 100, 00 spirit stones, I can act on your behalf once."

"If you want to deal with mid-stage Foundation Establishment ones, 200, 00!"

"I also take orders for late-stage cultivators. However, the specific price has to be discussed specifically. For example, whether the other party has any powerful magic tools, whether there is any big background behind them, and so on."

"In one word, as long as the spirit stones are in place, any enemy will be absolutely smashed!"

Luo Chen listened, dumbfounded.

Is taking orders to kill divided so finely?

And!

Is this price a bit outrageous?

100, 00, 200, 00—how many years would ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators without strong life skills have to save to get that much!

Drinking a cup of wine and swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

Luo Chen put down the wine cup, "I wonder what you usually do for a living, Fellow Daoist?"

Chu Kui sighed and said gloomily: "What else can I do for a living? I have no special skills, only some attainments in the way of fighting. So normally, I rely on the rewards of the Dao Discussion Platform, act as a guest for a few small immortal cultivation families, and occasionally take a few commission orders to make a living!"

"Sigh, it's all blood and sweat money!"

Luo Chen nodded in recognition.

Yes, it is blood and sweat money.

You shed sweat, others shed blood.

Chu Kui could also see that Luo Chen was not the kind of person who only thought about fighting and killing.

This business today was definitely not going to happen.

However, since he had treated someone to second-grade spiritual wine, he still had to form a good relationship.

"Developing a faction is different from us rogue cultivators; it involves too many aspects."

"You will always encounter some things in the future."

"I hope that when the time comes, you will definitely remember me, Fellow Daoist."

"Still the same words, spirit stones in place, everything smashed!"

Luo Chen naturally agreed.

Being able to get to know such an existence, who could be called a top expert even in the Foundation Establishment stage, would definitely be of great benefit to him.

Moreover, the other party didn't want anything else, only spirit stones.

Problems that can be solved with spirit stones are not problems.

As long as the pill business gets on the right track, Luo Chen will soon not be short of spirit stones.

Just as Luo Chen wanted to say something else, he saw Chu Kui turn his head and look somewhere.

Luo Chen felt something in his heart and looked over at the same time.

The next moment.

The clouds and mist suddenly dispersed, and water vapor permeated.

A sharp, new momentum suddenly spread from below the mountainside.

In his ear, he heard Chu Kui's exclamation.

"Which lucky person is this, advancing to Foundation Establishment and becoming a fellow daoist of ours?"

Luo Chen stood up suddenly.

"Sorry, today's small drink ends here."

Chu Kui raised an eyebrow, then realized something.

"Then we will meet again when we have the chance."

"Definitely, I will host and treat you then!"

Cupping his hands, Chu Kui took another look at the cave dwelling where the momentum was rising, summoned a white cloud, and left Luo Chen's cave dwelling.

After he left.

Luo Chen's heart looked forward with some anticipation toward the cliff cave dwelling that was recessed on the opposite side, slightly below.

It was Duan Feng!

Just a moment ago, the other party clearly emitted the momentum of the Foundation Establishment stage.

This meant that it had reached the final moment of breaking through the realm.

At this time, it is most taboo for others to disturb.

But unfortunately, there were countless cultivators on Tianlan Peak.

Chu Kui was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and noticed it immediately.

Luo Chen's soul foundation was very strong, and because of the close distance, he also felt it very quickly.

Now, as the momentum permeated, more and more people discovered the scene of Duan Feng establishing his foundation.

Streams of spiritual sense spread out unscrupulously.

Trying to find the specific location.

Luo Chen frowned and said without looking back.

"Xiao Ling, guard the cave dwelling well!"

Then, he leaped out and landed outside Duan Feng's cave dwelling in the blink of an eye.

He made no secret of it, spreading out his own harmonious Foundation Establishment spiritual power fluctuations.

A pair of sharp eyes swept across all directions.

"Everyone, there is nothing to see."

"The Immortal City has an order that no one is allowed to disturb the cultivation of any cultivator on Tianlan Peak."

"Go back!"

In his public spiritual sense transmission, those streams of spiritual sense that were chasing after paused slightly, then each retracted.

Just as Luo Chen said.

On Tianlan Peak, fighting is also forbidden.

If someone violates the prohibition, no matter which of the seven sects of Tianlan Immortal City is on duty, they will be severely punished.

They were just curious.

There was no need to get into trouble because of curiosity.

Feeling all the spiritual sense retreat like a tide, Luo Chen couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Even with his strong soul foundation.

But under the gaze of so many spiritual senses, he also felt great pressure.

Among them, there were no lack of mid-stage, or even late-stage Foundation Establishment ones!

Turning around.

Luo Chen watched Duan Feng's cave dwelling, resisting the urge to go in and take a look.

When breaking through, it is very taboo to be disturbed.

Even when he established his foundation back then, Nangong Jin tried to find him, but was stopped by Wang Yuan personally.

Now times have changed.

It was his turn to guard Duan Feng.

"It should be soon!"

Muttering, Luo Chen set up a defensive array outside the cave dwelling just in case.

Three days later!

A long whistle suddenly exploded, then was released and retracted, with no further echo.

In Duan Feng's cave dwelling.

Two figures sat opposite each other.

Looking at Duan Feng opposite, whose aura was sharp and whose spiritual power fluctuations were like a tide, sometimes appearing and sometimes retracting.

Luo Chen smiled gratifiedly.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Little Duan!"

Duan Feng originally wanted to put on a good pose and say a very emotional "Fellow Daoist" to Luo Chen.

As a result, the "Little Duan" almost made him lose his composure.

Shaking his head, he still smiled.

"Finally established the foundation!"

In his words, there was a sense of sighing.

It was as if these five short words told of the difficulty of the journey.

Luo Chen personally poured him a cup of spiritual wine as a celebration.

After the two clinked glasses, Duan Feng said with emotion: "Foundation Establishment is actually so difficult; if you hadn't simulated it for me once before I went into seclusion, perhaps I would have failed at the step of gathering the surging spiritual power and turning it into liquid."

Luo Chen naturally knew how difficult Foundation Establishment was.

He had purely relied on his strong willpower to grind through it step by step.

The hardship, although it varies from person to person, is always much harder for those with poor aptitude.

Suddenly.

Duan Feng stood up.

"Hmm?"

As Luo Chen was surprised, the other party left the stone table and bowed deeply to him.

"Along the way, thank you for your support; Duan Feng is extremely grateful!"

Luo Chen opened his mouth, then grinned.

"You kid!"

He didn't dodge in the end.

Instead, he accepted this bow with great generosity and composure.

"What do you plan to do next?"

Duan Feng thought for a moment and said: "The cultivation method is not a problem; I just need to cultivate the Foundation Establishment chapter of the Vast Sea Breaking Waves Decision step by step."

"In the next few years, the main focus will be on stabilizing the realm."

Luo Chen nodded; this was expected.

After he established his foundation, it also took him a full three years to completely stabilize his realm.

Now Duan Feng's completely uncontrollable spiritual power fluctuations showed that his state was not good.

In this state, if he encountered a battle, it would be the most dangerous.

Just like Huo Hu!

Clearly having just broken through to Foundation Establishment, he hurriedly left the Flame Alliance and even boldly sought someone to fight.

Moreover, he dared to use magic tools in battle.

Too naive!

Combat power is never just about having a high realm and good weapons to be stronger than others.

The power one can truly master is one's own strength!

In this aspect, Wang Yuan does the best.

Luo Chen now also does it perfectly.

Even though he has many killing moves, in past battles, he often uses the means he is most confident in.

Instead of using the Blazing Sun Technique brainlessly just because it's strong.

Any means must be used at the right time and in the right situation.

It's just that...

Luo Chen sighed, "Alright, then you go into seclusion for a few years; I'll let Liu Qiang and your disciples look after the Tool Hall more."

He sighed because he felt the Luo Tian Society didn't have enough manpower.

But in the face of Duan Feng stabilizing his realm, no matter how insufficient the manpower was, it had to give way.

Unexpectedly.

Duan Feng smiled.

He shook his head: "My stabilizing the realm doesn't necessarily require seclusion."

"Oh?" Luo Chen was surprised.

Duan Feng laughed: "Did you forget the way I purified spiritual power when I was in the Qi Refining stage?"

Luo Chen frowned and recalled carefully.

Soon, he remembered.

In his memory, Duan Feng used to purify his spiritual power step by step while forging tools and materials during the tool forging process.

"Could it be that you can still use this trick after Foundation Establishment?"

Duan Feng nodded lightly.

"That is indeed the case; this is a derivative means of my Duan family's tool forging technique, and it was also taught to me by that old... old man."

He paused, his expression a bit unnatural, but compared to the past, he was a bit more open-minded.

"I was able to successfully establish my foundation thanks to your support."

"I can't repay you in other ways; the Luo Tian Society is your hard work, so I should naturally contribute."

Luo Chen said with emotion: "Actually, it's not that urgent."

"No!"

Duan Feng disagreed, "Although you might not value the Tool Hall much, over the past year, I found that the Tool Hall still has a very promising future."

"If managed well, it can also bring considerable profits to the Luo Tian Society."

"Besides, after Foundation Establishment, the demand for resources increases greatly."

"I can't just wait for you to give me spiritual pills and medicines after I've established my foundation!"

The last sentence was said with a playful and teasing tone.

Luo Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Indeed, he wasn't a nanny.

If the Tool Hall could be operated, it would be the third source of wealth under the Alchemy Hall and the Medicine Hall that managed hundreds of spirit fields in the future.

Walking on three legs is always better than one or two.

As the master of the Tool Hall, the spirit stones Duan Feng could share would also increase greatly.

"By the way!"

Suddenly!

Duan Feng flipped his palm, and two round balls appeared in his hand.

The round balls were silver-white, and the silver substance on them was rolling like liquid.

Seeing the two round balls, Luo Chen's heart stirred.

"Are you sure?"

Duan Feng nodded heavily, "Sure, these two things are indeed magic treasure embryos!"

As he spoke, his breathing became noticeably rapid.

Not just him.

Even Luo Chen, who had been mentally prepared, couldn't help but press his lips tightly.
