Chapter 364

"Senior Sister, the sect needs people; you can't protect him!"

The cold and icy words still echoed in his ears.

But Luo Chen had already walked out of that cold, bone-chilling palace.

Sunlight shone on him.

It even draped a layer of golden gauze over the back of the woman in front.

Suddenly.

His footsteps stopped.

The woman turned around, her cold eyes staring fixedly at Luo Chen.

"You have great courage!"

Luo Chen twitched the corner of his mouth without speaking.

"I don't want to see such things again in the future!" the woman said coldly.

Luo Chen's expression was calm, "I don't want it to happen again either."

"Hmph!"

Fairy Jueqing snorted coldly and left with a flick of her sleeves.

Luo Chen stood where he was, letting the bright sunlight above the ten thousand miles of yellow sand shine on him.

Scorching, yet warm.

It dried away all the coldness brought by the two powerful female cultivators, Jueqing and Yinyue.

Gradually, a beautiful arc hung on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, the awkwardness, hesitation, and fear he had in the ice palace were gone from his face.

There was only indifference and calmness.

"The first step, although taken by taking a risk, was finally taken steadily, landing firmly!"

Amidst the muttering, a long breath was exhaled from Luo Chen's mouth.

He took a step and walked slowly toward the Luo Tian Society station.

Along the way, he met many unfamiliar cultivators.

Some were in the Qi Refining stage, and some were Foundation Establishment.

Some were from vassal forces, and some were from the Ice Fortress's inner sect or true disciples.

Everyone knew him.

Either treating him with cold eyes, greeting him warmly, or taking the initiative to make friends.

This scene was as if Luo Chen had been cultivating his connections here for many years.

And these things were the chain reaction brought about after Luo Chen took the first step.

He appeared very calm.

From before arriving at the Jilei Mountain battlefield, from the moment he stepped onto the land of the Golden Sand Floating Island, he had been thinking about how to break the situation.

Situation?

Perhaps in the eyes of others, whether it was him or the Luo Tian Society, what kind of predicament could there be?

But in reality, there was indeed a kind of predicament that had always been hanging over their heads.

That was the degree of importance!

The degree of importance the Jueqing lineage placed on him and the Luo Tian Society was not enough!

Perhaps it was the arrogance of a Jin Dan True Person, or perhaps it was because they were too familiar with Luo Chen, but subconsciously, Fairy Jueqing did not pay too much attention to the Luo Tian Society.

Even when Luo Chen became famous in the Qing Dan Valley and was snatched by Jin Dan True Persons of various sects.

Jueqing still sat high on the fishing platform, unmoved like a mountain.

The reason was very simple: at that time, she represented the Ice Fortress, and other friendly sects could not offend a great Jin Dan sect for the sake of Luo Chen, a second-tier alchemist!

But what if we change the way of thinking?

Other sects can't, but can't the Ice Fortress?

In the final analysis, Luo Chen was not working for the Ice Fortress, but was making a deal with Fairy Jueqing.

If there were Jin Dan cultivators within the Ice Fortress who showed importance to him, could Fairy Jueqing still be as calm as before?

The answer is no!

From the final result, it was exactly the same as Luo Chen's prediction!

The first moment he stepped onto the Golden Sand Floating Island, he learned from Duan Feng about the covetousness and bullying of the Luo Tian Society by the Qu family and the Shenshui Sect.

Therefore, he prepared to kill the chicken to warn the monkey!

While deterring other vassal forces, he also took the initiative to hand the handle to the person in charge here, Venerable Yinyue.

The other party could then take advantage of the situation to recruit Luo Chen.

Others didn't know the importance of a powerful alchemist, but a Jin Dan True Person outside the situation definitely knew, and Luo Chen had enough self-awareness!

He really had the ability to revitalize a small or medium-sized force!

Even in a great sect, it was enough to make a branch flourish!

Therefore.

There was the trip to the ice palace, and the meeting between Luo Chen and Yinyue.

This was a situation he actively created, but his decision from the beginning was definitely not to change his allegiance!

Just as he said before, no matter how much Fairy Jueqing looked down on the Luo Tian Society, at least along the way, the investment she made in him was real.

In this situation, if he still betrayed the other party.

Even if he joined the Yinyue lineage and gained the importance of the Sect Master Venerable mentioned by the other party, he would still be unable to move an inch within the Ice Fortress.

At most, he would be a top-tier tool person!

Those who betray their masters for profit never have a good end.

Especially since the former master had done nothing to wrong Luo Chen.

But Luo Chen considered more, not just himself, but also the Luo Tian Society under his command.

His goal was to have Jueqing's importance cover the Luo Tian Society as well.

Therefore, he borrowed the power of Venerable Yinyue to force Fairy Jueqing to express her attitude.

From the result, Luo Chen's risky step was the right one!

Of course.

These were the big directions; in the details, Luo Chen also did it perfectly.

Whether it was slandering Qu Zhenbiao, defeating him with a thunderous blow, or even the emotions he deliberately mobilized in the ice palace, he did it to the extreme.

No matter what is said outside later, it will only be the side beneficial to the Luo Tian Society.

The only thing that surprised Luo Chen, and even caused the situation to spiral out of control, was that he underestimated the methods of a Jin Dan True Person.

"That woman, her charm techniques were used silently; I almost fell for it!"

Luo Chen rubbed his brow, a trace of lingering fear flashing in his eyes.

Inside the ice palace, Venerable Yinyue's various actions, tone, and expressions were all meant to confuse the mind.

It was just that his divine soul foundation was not weak, and he had practiced third-tier illusion techniques like the Fear-Inducing Technique, Confusion Technique, and Mirror Flower Water Moon, so he was quite familiar with such methods.

Not only that, after "Clear Spirit Breaking Evil" reached the master level, he built a simple defense on the periphery of his consciousness.

Even if the evolution of the final perfection didn't deepen this layer of defense but moved toward multitasking, it was enough to provide him with a warning.

And that wasn't all!

The Rotten Chess was also a magic treasure that leaned toward divine soul defense.

With so many layers of superposition, he quietly resisted Venerable Yinyue's charm.

Otherwise, he might have really agreed to the other party in the ice palace, changed his allegiance, and turned to the Yinyue lineage.

Or rather, not the Yinyue lineage, but the Sect Master lineage!

The four words Jueqing said just now, "Great courage!"

The meaning contained within refers to these.

It refers to Luo Chen borrowing Yinyue's power to force her, and also refers to Luo Chen daring to face Venerable Yinyue directly and still being able to keep his original heart at the end.

"I used four ounces to move a thousand pounds; if my courage wasn't great, how could I succeed?"

With a carefree smile, Luo Chen returned to the station.

After a simple rest, Luo Chen became busy.

Treating illnesses and injuries!

Not specifically treating Li Yingzhang; Luo Chen hadn't finalized the treatment plan for him yet.

Because there was a method he wasn't sure would work.

So, he needed to experiment in advance!

And the experimental subjects were the other injured cultivators of the Luo Tian Society.

He had already asked Xu Muxian to count the number of injured cultivators before.

Now, whenever he had free time, those cultivators would line up and enter Luo Chen's room under Yuan Xiaoyue's arrangement.

"Minor injury, I'll treat it for you, then go to Yuan Xiaoyue to get a portion of medicine for strengthening the foundation and cultivating the origin, boil it and drink it for two days."

Looking at the excited cultivator in front of him, Luo Chen said indifferently.

While speaking, he was casting the Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Art with his hands.

As a second-tier healing magic, the healing effect of this technique was stronger than the perfection-level Healing Art, and the direction was also different.

The Healing Art was more for treating surface injuries.

After reaching perfection, it could only treat relatively obvious meridian layers.

But the Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Art was different; this technique was a water and wood dual-system magic, emphasizing moistening things silently.

It could treat some hidden injuries that the cultivators themselves couldn't discover.

It could even repair some damage to the cultivators' acupoints from the inside out.

When Luo Chen cast it twice in succession, the cultivator in front only felt refreshed.

When he thanked him and was about to go out, Luo Chen flicked his sleeves at him casually.

A clear breeze blew, and the cultivator's pace out the door seemed much lighter.

It was as if all chronic illnesses were gone, and he was unstained by dust!

"The President's medical skills are truly miraculous; after a simple look, he cured the problem of my Tanzhong acupoint aching faintly."

"Hey, why do you look so handsome, kid! Since your injury is healed, come to my place for a drink tonight!"

Inside the house.

Luo Chen took advantage of the time waiting for the next patient to enter and called up the attribute panel.

In the magic column.

The proficiency of the second-tier magic Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Art had reached the perfection level, and it was not far from the master level.

This was naturally not a skill of one day or one night.

During the year he treated Gu Caiyi on Tianlan Peak, he had to cast this technique twice every day.

Now, it was just taking advantage of the large number of people to brush it faster.

In fact, he was not just brushing the Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Art now.

He was also experimenting with his perfection-level Cleaning Art!

He was experimenting to see if this magic could be used to treat injuries.

"Strictly speaking, Earth Fire evil energy also belongs to a type of Qi."

"Since the Cleaning Art can remove spiritual energy, yin energy, elixir energy, it can naturally also clear away evil energy."

"Compared to the domineering second-tier evil energy, the Luo Tian Society cultivators have also invisibly accumulated quite a bit of blood evil energy brought about by killing over the years."

"I just tried it with the Cleaning Art, and it can indeed clear away a portion. However, because blood evil energy comes from the person themselves, it is not removed thoroughly enough."

"But the Earth Fire evil energy in Li Yingzhang's body is a foreign object; if I manipulate it well, perhaps I can..."

Another cultivator walked in.

Looking at the excited person saluting, Luo Chen smiled slightly.

Then came the familiar set of procedures: spiritual sense entering the body, checking the situation, treating with the currently mastered Healing Art and Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Art, and finally using the Cleaning Art to remove the residual foreign aura from the other party.

Of course.

With Luo Chen's medical skills, he couldn't cure all diseases.

Many injuries required corresponding elixirs to be treated.

All Luo Chen could do was to reduce the injuries on the other party as much as possible.

Just like this.

Three days passed in a flash.

In Li Yingzhang's room.

Luo Chen sat beside him incomparably calmly, using the master-level Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Art he had brushed up on recently to dissolve the ice and snow spiritual energy clusters wrapping the Earth Fire evil energy in the other party's body.

Under his manipulation, those ice and snow continuously dissolved under the spring breeze and rain.

"Hmm!"

A muffled groan came from Li Yingzhang's mouth.

"Hold on!"

Luo Chen said in a low voice, carefully casting a Cleaning Art.

The next moment, a wisp of Earth Fire evil energy that had just awakened was cleared out by him.

Looking at the evil energy burning a large hole in the ground, Luo Chen fell into contemplation.

And Li Yingzhang on the bed now had a look of surprise on his face.

It was eliminated!

It was really eliminated.

He could feel that the burden on his body was one part less.

"President, this..."

"Rest, I will remove three portions of evil energy for you every day; it won't be long before you recover."

While speaking, he walked out thoughtfully.

He didn't seem to care at all about the gratitude and thanks from Li Yingzhang behind him.

On the way, he met Xu Muxian who was coming over, and he didn't chat much either.

The whole person seemed to have fallen into a state of epiphany.

"President, what's wrong?"

Xu Muxian looked at Luo Chen's back suspiciously.

Epiphany?

Naturally, it didn't exist; one couldn't comprehend anything at this realm.

Luo Chen just had a sudden inspiration based on what he had learned and seen when he was removing the Earth Fire evil energy just now.

This thing seemed to be usable for opening acupoints?

Having studied the third-tier body-refining technique "Peng Transformation" too much recently, Luo Chen was naturally exploring it all the time.

Evil energy could naturally also be used for body refining.

In fact, after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he had once, with Wang Yuan's help, extracted evil energy from the underground of Xiaohuan Mountain to push his body-refining realm to the second stage, the Blood River stage.

The cultivation steps of the Blood River stage were very detailed!

Unlike Foundation Establishment True Persons who mainly accumulate spiritual energy during the Foundation Establishment stage.

Body refiners at the Blood River stage have a total of nine small realms.

【Tendon-Easing】, 【Marrow-Washing】, 【Organ-Refining】, 【Meridian-Clearing】, 【Acupoint-Opening】, and 【Four Strengths of Bright and Dark Transformation into Elixir】.

If all these small realms were fully cultivated.

One could push the human physique to a terrifying level.

At this time, blood flows through the long river, Qi rushes to the nine heavens, the four strengths merge into one, and one understands all changes in Qi and blood.

One could even make the life level of a body refiner undergo a complete transformation.

Thereby advancing to the third stage of body refining, the Furnace stage.

Even the lifespan problem would be solved because of the transformation of the life level.

Luo Chen had never been very interested in this traditional body-refining cultivation method.

The main reason was that the later "understanding of Qi and blood changes and deriving four strengths" was too time-consuming and energy-consuming.

Moreover, it also required sufficient talent.

Only someone like Wang Yuan, who was talented in body refining, could comprehend the bright strength very early, and even the dark strength had entered the path in these years.

However, Luo Chen had naturally completed the first four levels under the accumulation of massive resources.

Tendon-easing and marrow-washing, organ-refining completion, and all meridians cleared.

The only one not yet completed was the fifth level, 【Acupoint-Opening】.

But in fact, Luo Chen was no stranger to opening acupoints.

The earliest cultivation of "Clear Spirit Breaking Evil" was stimulating acupoints and tempering the will.

Apart from regular acupoints, Luo Chen had actually unknowingly opened the thirty-six major acupoints recorded in "Clear Spirit Breaking Evil" over the years.

"At that time, I used spiritual energy to open acupoints, which was relatively gentle, and the efficiency was relatively low."

"But if I use evil energy to open acupoints, would the effect be better?"

"Ordinary first-tier evil energy naturally wouldn't work, but what if it's second-tier evil energy?"

The more he thought about it, the more Luo Chen felt it was feasible!

Moreover, he had quite a bit of time now.

After coming to the Golden Sand Floating Island, it wasn't the Luo Tian Society's turn to guard the mountain yet, so he didn't have to refine pills every day.

Every day, besides taking high-grade Rising Dragon Pills for cultivation, he was treating the injuries of the cultivators under his command.

As for finding Wang Yuan's whereabouts, Duan Feng had also been arranging for people to inquire.

It could be said that on the seemingly dangerous battlefield, it was instead a place where Luo Chen had rare time abundance in these years.

"If I can complete the opening of acupoints, will it also have an improvement effect on my cultivation? Just like the terrifying improvement brought about after all meridians are cleared?"

Just as Luo Chen was eager to try.

Duan Feng hurried over.

"President, someone has submitted a visiting card."

"Who?"

"The person calls himself Tianxingzi, from the Luo Yun Sect!"

Luo Chen's heart moved.

He knew that after his battle above the floating island, many people would come to visit and make friends.

But he didn't expect that the first one to submit a visiting card would be an old acquaintance.

Thinking of the various past collaborations with Tianxingzi, Luo Chen couldn't help but show a smile.

"Give me the visiting card!"
