Chapter 359: Fellow Daoist, please stay! Instant kill!

The Nine Jilei Mountains are one of the few large Tier 4 mineral vein locations in the Yuding Domain.

The environment here is special, suffering from thunder strikes all year round.

Over time, ores different from other places were born in the mountains.

Soft Thunder Sand, a Tier 3 mineral material needed for refining magic treasures, is produced here.

Besides Soft Thunder Sand, famous Tier 3 mineral materials like Mo Lead and Flowing White Silver Tin are also among them.

There is also a large output of low-grade associated materials like Flowing Sand Refined Gold, Thunder-Struck Wood, and Red Thunder Iron.

Among these materials.

The most famous and precious is the Tier 4 mineral material Thunder Hero, which only produces nine portions every ten years.

This object originates from the accumulation of a large amount of thunder power, combined with special ores.

It possesses growth potential itself.

It is the core object for Jin Dan Venerables to refine their life-bound magic treasures!

Why Thunder Hero is indispensable for refining life-bound magic treasures, ordinary forgers don't know.

But Duan Feng once told Luo Chen that it might be related to the thunder tribulation that Jin Dan cultivators must face when advancing to Nascent Soul.

Jilei Nine Mountains stably produces Thunder Hero and contains many rare mineral materials from Tier 1 to Tier 3, so this location naturally becomes incomparably important.

Since the Yuding Sword Sect conquered the Yuding Domain, the Nine Jilei Mountains have been under their control.

Even though it is far from the sect's territory, the Sword Sect does not allow other sects to covet this place.

This time, the Luoyun Sect launched a war and chose the battlefield in the Lingkong Secret Realm and the Nine Jilei Mountains, undoubtedly grasping the Sword Sect's Achilles' heel.

Now the Lingkong Secret Realm is closed.

The Black Water Swamp side has nothing to do with the overall situation, it's just Ailao Mountain's plot.

In this way, the outcome of the Nine Jilei Mountain battlefield becomes crucial.

In the eyes of ordinary cultivators in the Yuding Domain, whoever completely controls the Nine Jilei Mountains means winning the victory of this war!

For Luo Chen.

He actually doesn't care who wins or loses.

Over the years, he has never stopped reading intelligence related to the two sects.

In his view, from the Sword Sect's failed surprise attack on the Luoyun Sect's hinterland, and the later meeting between Venerable Han Zhan and Venerable Yuding, the two sides haven't reached the point of life and death.

Otherwise, their war mode should be the full mobilization of sect experts to attack each other's mountain gates.

Just like the Dajiang Gang dealing with the Poshan Gang, the Luo Tian Society destroying the Fu Family Fortress, and the Luo Tian Society attacking the Xiaohuan Mountain.

Those that directly attack the mountain gate are life-and-death battles.

The current war mode is scattered in various places.

No matter who wins or loses, perhaps they will be severely injured, but it will definitely not lead to the destruction of the sect.

It was precisely because of this that he tacitly allowed Huiniang and Caiyi to do business related to the war.

Since you are not fighting to the death, then it doesn't matter if I make a little money in the middle!

After all, I did send people.

The only thing Luo Chen cares about is the lives of the cultivators in his own society.

He thought that under the care of the Ice Fortress, the Luo Tian Society would have losses, but not too many.

But he still overestimated Venerable Jueqing's status in the Ice Fortress.

Or rather, it's not that Venerable Jueqing's status is insufficient, but that the intensity of this war is continuously rising, completely exceeding his expectations.

In this way, relying only on Wang Yuan and others cannot hold the field.

Moreover, Wang Yuan is now missing.

Therefore, there was Luo Chen's personal participation in the war.

A child of a thousand gold, don't sit under the eaves?

No, he, Luo Chen, is still far from that level!

The huge flying boat flew over ten thousand miles, covering the sky and the sun, constantly advancing towards the Nine Jilei Mountains.

Outside the flying boat, Battle Hall cultivators rode flying eagles tamed by the Spirit Beast Hall, constantly patrolling and guarding all directions.

Inside the flying boat, Luo Chen sat in the main hall.

Holding the animal skin recording the "Heavenly Roc Transformation," he studied it intently.

This technique is as high as Tier 3, although incomplete, it is only the main cultivation method that is incomplete.

The several body techniques recorded on it are very complete.

Wang Yuan's Blood God Tribulation Finger was clearly inspired by the Heavenly Roc Divine Claw.

Luo Chen's "Ninety Thousand Miles" is also an excellent secret technique recorded on it.

"This body-refining technique is clearly different from human body refining."

"It doesn't pursue the four strengths of bright, dark, and pill transformation derived from Qi and blood changes, but is somewhat like the ancient demonic race, only pursuing physical strength."

"If I can complete this body-refining technique, can I skip the Qi and blood changes and purely cultivate physical strength?"

Luo Chen is unwilling to waste time and energy on cultivation other than Qi Refining.

To achieve something in body refining, one must understand Qi and blood changes, bright and dark pill transformation, until reaching the third stage of Gang Qi.

The mental effort consumed in this will inevitably be quite a lot.

But if one doesn't take the path of Qi and blood changes, and purely wants to enhance physical strength, then practicing it while cultivating Qi is definitely not a loss.

Luo Chen's idea is exactly this!

After years of study.

Luo Chen's understanding of the "Heavenly Roc Transformation" is incomparably deep, completely no less than Wang Yuan's.

Wang Yuan knew this technique was incomplete, so from the beginning, he had the idea of taking the best and making up for the shortcomings to improve himself.

Luo Chen, however, can use the system to complete it.

Luo Chen, however, could use the system to complete it.

Therefore, Luo Chen did not think of anything else; he was simply researching in the direction indicated by it.

If he could really research something out of it.

Then his currently stagnant body-refining realm might be able to increase a little.

Under these years of research, his study of this technique had become incredibly deep. If he used the system to complete it, he feared it would not cost many achievement points.

Just as Luo Chen was immersed in it.

Suddenly!

He lifted his eyelids slightly, and his deep gaze seemed to pierce through the thick wooden boards, looking more than ten miles away!

"What great audacity!"

"Boss Hu, are you sure?"

"What is there to be unsure about? Nowadays, those doing war business all follow the same process. This Luotian Society came once last year, and that was just a small skirmish. This time, they must be carrying a large amount of wealth. If we can seize it, you and I split it in half—wouldn't that be a huge profit!"

More than ten miles away, in a small valley.

Scattered about were more than a dozen cultivators gathered together.

The leaders were clearly two Foundation Establishment loose cultivators!

At this moment, under Boss Hu's incessant chatter, another young man with a pale face said helplessly, "That is not what I am asking."

Boss Hu was startled, then laughed out loud.

"I know, you, Kou Ji, are worried about the strength of the Luotian Society caravan, right!"

The pale-faced man nodded, his eyes showing some worry.

Boss Hu patted him on the shoulder, "You don't need to worry about that at all!"

"How so?" Kou Ji asked, a look of curiosity appearing on his face.

"I have already inquired clearly. The Luotian Society is just an ordinary second-rate force in Lanxiancheng, about the same as our Shadow Alliance in Daguang Immortal City; it was founded by a loose cultivator."

"They were developing quite well before, but they suffered heavy losses not long ago."

"This caravan should have had Foundation Establishment True Cultivators coming to escort it, but this time the other side cannot spare any manpower at all."

After hearing Boss Hu's words.

Kou Ji was half-believing and half-doubting, asking, "Can't the other side send Foundation Establishment True Cultivators from their home base to escort the caravan?"

"They could, but most of the Luotian Society's Foundation Establishment cultivators are on the Leijiushan battlefield; only a few women are left at the home base. Who could they send?" Boss Hu said dismissively.

Kou Ji shook his head, "Women are not to be trifled with."

Boss Hu curled his lips, "Rest assured, I am certainly not such a reckless person. Later, let them charge to the front; if there are powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators, you and I will just skip this job!"

Kou Ji followed his gaze to the dozen or so Qi Refining cultivators outside.

Each one of them was extremely excited, fantasizing about doing a big job under the leadership of two Foundation Establishment True Cultivators!

Kou Ji nodded, feeling much more settled in his heart.

However, just in case, he asked one more question.

"This Luotian Society caravan is providing resources to the large sect Bingbao, right! If we do this, won't we offend a Jin Dan large sect?"

Boss Hu laughed dumbly.

"Brother Kou Ji, your temperament is too steady and cautious."

"Not to mention whether a Jin Dan large sect would bother with us, the two sides are in different camps anyway; so what if they blame us?"

"If we seize this batch of goods, we not only earn resources but can also gain a good amount of merit on the Sword Sect's merit list. You must know that cutting off logistics is also the best and safest way to earn merit!"

Kou Ji was stunned, and after thinking it through, he couldn't help but have a sudden realization.

Looking at the self-satisfied Boss Hu, he sneered inwardly.

You say I am steady and cautious?

You are so fluent in your answers, which shows you have made full preparations beforehand; I fear you have thought about it even more thoroughly than I have!

When we rob the road later, I must keep a backup plan for myself.

"Alright, they are about to pass Tianzhufeng. The terrain there is high, and if the large flying boat doesn't want to take a detour, it has to increase its flight altitude, which is the perfect opportunity for us to launch a sneak attack!"

Boss Hu waved his hand and issued the order to act.

The group of Qi Refining loose cultivators he had coerced rushed out with extreme excitement.

"In this world today, Jin Dan masters act regardless of their status, Foundation Establishment True Cultivators' lives are like grass, and loose cultivators change their identities to become robbery cultivators at any time."

"It truly loses the true meaning of cultivation for our generation!"

On the deck of the flying boat, Luo Chen, who had changed into an old red cloud Daoist robe, muttered with emotion.

Qin Liangchen looked at him curiously.

"President, why did you come out?"

"It's nothing, just came out to relax." Luo Chen smiled slightly.

At this moment, he did not look very outstanding.

The powerful spiritual power fluctuation of the sixth level of Foundation Establishment was covered up to almost nothing under the blessing of the Great Perfection Breath-Concealing Spirit Technique and the Turtle Breath Technique.

Replacing it was merely the ordinary cultivation of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Watching the flying boat increase its altitude, sweeping away the clear wind and white clouds.

Luo Chen suddenly asked, "If you encounter small-scale Qi Refining robbery cultivators on the road, how would you deal with them?"

Qi Refining ones?

Qin Liangchen laughed heartily, "Then it's not a matter of how I deal with them, but blaming them for not having eyes and bumping into my hands."

He pointed to the hundreds of cultivators on the flying boat, as well as the flying eagle knights patrolling and flying on the periphery.

"These are all War Hall cultivators who fight while riding flying eagles, and each one of them is not weak."

"The cultivators I brought from the outer sect are also all selected experts of the late Qi Refining stage."

"Ordinary small groups of robbery cultivators are just throwing eggs against a rock when they meet us!"

"Besides, although I, Old Qin, failed in Foundation Establishment, I am a solid Qi Refining Great Perfection, and I really don't fear ordinary people!"

In his words, there was no lack of confidence!

Luo Chen's eyes brightened slightly, and he nodded secretly.

Although Qin Liangchen failed in Foundation Establishment, with his Dao companion Murong Qinglian successfully establishing her Foundation, he had instead recovered his former open-minded personality.

Now that he has been in charge of the outer sect for a long time, he has also become more and more confident.

If one does not consider the lack in his physique, his mindset is truly very suitable for Foundation Establishment.

Qin Liangchen was about to say something more when his expression changed slightly.

The next moment, looking at the dozen or so Qi Refining cultivators rushing over in a swarm from afar, he looked at Luo Chen in astonishment.

"You knew it long ago?"

Luo Chen smiled and nodded.

"Go ahead, I will hold the line for you in the back."

Qin Liangchen was helpless; a golden melon hammer appeared in his hand, and then he soared into the sky.

Behind him, Luo Chen's laughter could be heard.

"No need to waste words with them, just kill them and be done with it."

"Understood!"

Qin Liangchen gave an affirmative sound, then shouted loudly.

"Luotian cultivators, prepare for battle!"

The next moment, on the deck of the flying boat, one cultivator after another cast the Wind-Riding Technique and soared into the sky.

The dozen or so robbery cultivators rushing from the front couldn't help but have their eyelids twitch wildly when they saw this scene.

But thinking that there were two Foundation Establishment cultivators behind them, they weren't actually that panicked.

An expert at the ninth level of Qi Refining even remembered Boss Hu's instructions to first make a probing move.

To see if there were any Foundation Establishment True Cultivators following on the other side's flying boat.

"We are cultivators of the Yan Alliance, please have your Foundation Establishment senior come out..."

However.

Before he could finish his words, his face turned incredibly pale.

Qin Liangchen didn't listen to what he said at all; keeping Luo Chen's order in mind, he directly killed them!

Under his command, the Luotian Society cultivators swarmed up like tigers and wolves.

The magic treasures and talismans in their hands fell like rain.

"Wait, don't..."

"Stop first, why are you so unreasonable."

This group of robbery cultivators, not knowing where they came from, fled in a sorry state while begging for mercy.

Their aggrieved appearance made it seem as if the Luotian Society side were the ones doing evil.

But Qin Liangchen didn't listen to their pleas for mercy at all.

He just ordered his subordinates to fight them to the death.

The golden melon hammer he controlled was even more ruthless, and every strike inevitably smashed a cloud of blood mist in mid-air.

Bang!

A robbery cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining struggled to escape the encirclement.

He shouted shrilly, "Senior Hu, why haven't you acted yet? What are you waiting for!"

A sigh came from the valley not far away.

Then two figures came riding on clouds and mist.

Seeing this scene, the robbery cultivator couldn't help but feel relieved, a look of wild joy appearing on his face.

But before this joy could hang on his face, his whole body froze.

A crescent moon ghost-like circled around his neck.

With a circular cut, his head flew up.

On the deck of the flying boat, Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, looking at Yuan Xiaoyue, whose face was slightly pale at the bow of the boat.

"Not bad, did Caiyi teach you that?"

This kind of circular beheading fighting method was the move Luo Chen used most often when he was in the Qi Refining stage; it was cruel and efficient.

He had only taught a few tricks to Gu Caiyi, whom he was familiar with.

Yuan Xiaoyue recalled the crescent moon, which turned out to be a curved blade.

She smiled shyly, "The Hall Master did teach me quite a bit. However, just now it was mainly due to the sneak attack."

Luo Chen smiled and shook his head, "Being able to kill a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator with the eighth level of Qi Refining, even if it was a sneak attack, is very good."

He was chatting and laughing here.

But Boss Hu and Kou Ji's faces did not look good.

To be honest, they really didn't care about the life or death of this mob.

They even had plans to finish this job and then take the initiative to solve them, so as not to have one more person to split the goods.

However, killing them yourself and being killed by others in front of you are two completely different things.

That female cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining was slapping them in the face!

"Little hoof, when you fall into my hands later, I will definitely deal with you properly!"

Boss Hu looked grimly at Yuan Xiaoyue in the distance, then looked at Qin Liangchen, who was the leader.

Strange, why is this person not afraid at all when seeing the two of us in Foundation Establishment?

Qin Liangchen cleared up the aftermath and looked at the two.

"What are the names of the two seniors, and what is your intention in stopping us with such methods?"

Boss Hu smiled grimly, "Junior, you killed my closest and most beloved clansmen; today, take your lives and this boatload of goods as compensation!"

While speaking, he sacrificed his flying sword and was about to strike a lethal blow.

But the next moment.

A majestic aura soared into the sky from the flying boat in the distance.

Boss Hu's face changed instantly, his pupils shaking violently!

"A Great Cultivator!"

Before the words could even leave his mouth, he turned around and wanted to run.

But the corner of his eye caught that his good friend Kou Ji had already fled, reacting even faster than him.

"Damn guy!"

He cursed secretly and also turned around to flee.

His heart was filled with panic.

This Luotian Society is just a small force that has risen in Tianlan in the last ten years; how could there be a Foundation Establishment late-stage Great Cultivator inside?

How could they be a match for such a person?

It seems I didn't hurt any of them on my side, so they shouldn't chase after me, right?

Just as he was thinking this, a monstrous sword light suddenly erupted in front of him.

"Ah..."

Kou Ji, who ran the fastest, only had time to scream once before he was swept into it, and countless flesh and blood fragments sprayed out.

Even more flesh foam hit Boss Hu's face, who was caught off guard.

"Since you've come, why are you leaving?"

"Fellow Daoist, please stay!"
