Chapter 366: Fairy Ice Soul, almost became a matrilocal son-in-law

"Hmph..."

In the quiet room, a muffled groan came.

Luo Chen opened his eyes, a look of regret appearing in them.

Just now, he had tried for the third time to open an acupuncture point with second-tier Earth Fire Sha.

The result was failure.

Vaguely, it seemed that a layer of air film was blocking it.

"The higher the realm, the purer the spiritual energy, and it will spontaneously form a protective air film on the human body's vital points."

"It was supposed to be a protective measure, but now it has become a barrier limiting my opening of acupuncture points."

"How should this be solved?"

Luo Chen frowned slightly.

He skillfully performed the Spring Breeze Transforms Rain Technique to repair the damage caused to his body by the Sha energy during the opening of the acupuncture point.

Under the sprinkling of wisps of wood-type spiritual energy, some minor injuries healed quickly.

Luo Chen's physique was already incomparably strong!

Among the people he was familiar with, it was second only to Wang Yuan.

Even compared to Chu Kui, who also practiced physique, it was slightly better.

In his view, Chu Kui had only reached the stage of Great Perfection in Refining Organs, but had no clue about penetrating meridians.

After all, even Luo Chen had relied on Blood Sha Pills and the "Ageless Evergreen Scripture" to arduously complete the penetration of a hundred meridians.

His gaze fell on the Rock Floating Stone that sealed the second-tier Earth Fire Sha energy.

Luo Chen's thoughts subconsciously recalled Li Yingzhang's injury.

In Li Yingzhang's body, there was quite a bit of residual Earth Fire Sha energy.

It was also second-tier, but it seemed much purer than the Earth Fire Sha energy he was currently using.

"It is rumored that the Flame Alliance has a method to refine Sha energy; even if it is the same second-tier, the quality of their Earth Fire Sha energy is much higher, which is why it can be used for combat."

"So, is the quality of the Sha energy not good enough?"

In thought.

A bold idea popped into Luo Chen's mind.

If the quality is not enough, can it be made up for by quantity?

His current Earth Sha acupuncture point opening technique was greatly influenced by Wang Yuan's experience, so he had always strictly controlled the Sha energy entering his body one wisp at a time.

But other people's experience is not entirely applicable to himself.

"If I increase the quantity and use two, or even three wisps of Sha energy to impact the acupuncture point at the same time, can I forcibly open the acupuncture point?"

"However, in this way, once it fails, the damage caused to my body might be a bit large."

While muttering to himself.

A fierce look flashed in Luo Chen's eyes.

How could there be no risk in creating one's own secret techniques?

Even Wang Yuan had to verify whether his path was wrong through combat.

Then Luo Chen, too, had to pay something.

He took a deep breath.

After his body recovered as before, Luo Chen beckoned, and two wisps of Earth Fire Sha energy flew out from the Rock Floating Stone.

He inhaled through his nose.

Immediately, those two wisps of Sha energy drilled into his nose like two fire dragons.

After entering his body, they went all the way down, heading straight for the acupuncture point Luo Chen was most confident about.

The next day.

Luo Chen stepped out of the room, and with his level of sophistication, joy was visible in the corners of his eyes and brows.

His Earth Sha acupuncture point opening method was feasible!

After he increased the quantity of second-tier Earth Fire Sha energy to three wisps at a time, he was able to break through the air film condensed on the acupuncture point.

Just last night, he had already opened an acupuncture point.

"There are 720 major and minor acupuncture points in the human body."

"Counting the 36 I opened in advance by practicing Bright God Breaking Evil, I have now opened 37, leaving only more than 600."

"If you don't count the life-and-death vital points where the air film becomes tougher the further you go, then I need approximately... more than 2, 00 portions of second-tier Earth Fire Sha energy to open all the acupuncture points."

"Ten portions for 500 spirit stones, more than 2, 00 portions would need at least 100, 00!"

After calculating this number, Luo Chen couldn't help but be startled.

This amount of spirit stones didn't mean much to him now.

But in the eyes of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, it was truly a huge sum!

"No wonder the path of body refining, despite its rapid progress, is gradually being abandoned; this is clearly a bottomless abyss."

Luo Chen had never carefully calculated how many resources he had invested in body refining.

Mainly, he hadn't put much effort into tempering his physique, mostly passive tempering.

He had only put some thought into the three points of Refining Organs, Refining Organs, and Penetrating Meridians.

But thinking about it, his never-ending monster meat spirit meals, spirit rice supply, and many medicinal materials, Blood Sha Pills...

If he really calculated carefully, it would definitely be a terrifying amount.

Take the acupuncture point opening stage, which seems to only need 100, 00 spirit stones to complete.

100, 00?

This is only for Luo Chen.

For ordinary body refiners, they have to consider the physical injuries brought by Sha energy, frequently buying pills, hiring physicians for treatment, etc.

The expenses in these details are another huge amount.

It is only because Luo Chen himself has extraordinary attainments as a physician that he can solve these worries.

Otherwise...

Moreover, even if the acupuncture point opening is completed, if one really wants to continue on the path of body refining, one must understand the changes in Qi and blood, and the expenses involved must be another huge sum.

Body refiners are pure gold-swallowing beasts!

"However, the things behind have nothing to do with me."

"I only need to complete the acupuncture point opening, forge a purely powerful physique, and use this to positively assist my rapid practice!"

Luo Chen smiled and didn't think about more distant things.

After greeting the people at the station, he went out.

Looking for Tantai Jin!

He needed too much Earth Fire Sha energy!

With Duan Feng's connections and Yuan Xiaoyue's methods, it was difficult to gather it in a short time.

And he currently had huge consumption.

The initial unimportant acupuncture points are actually very simple to open, as long as you master the method.

In this way, a huge quantity of Sha energy is needed.

As for the later stages, involving life-and-death vital points where the air film is extremely tough and thick, that will be considered later.

Over here at Jinsha Floating Island.

Tantai Jin arrived earlier than him, so she must know the source of a large amount of Earth Fire Sha energy.

"You want a large quantity of second-tier Earth Fire Sha energy?"

In a side hall, Tantai Jin looked at Luo Chen with a complex expression.

Facing her intriguing gaze, Luo Chen appeared very calm.

"Yes, the more the better."

"Used for alchemy?"

"That is no need for Fellow Daoist to worry about."

Tantai Jin's expression stiffened, but she didn't force a question.

She said indifferently: "I have one hundred portions on hand, from the inheritance of a Flame Alliance Foundation Establishment cultivator. But I don't have any more."

Luo Chen frowned.

One hundred portions, a bit too little.

Tantai Jin naturally saw his dissatisfied expression.

"If you want more, you can participate in the monthly Jinsha Floating Island cultivator trading gathering. At that time, many cultivators will take out resources obtained in battle that they don't need for trading."

"At that gathering, it should be very simple to gather the second-tier Earth Fire Sha energy you want."

Once a month?

After asking about the specific time for the next one, Luo Chen secretly thought it was a coincidence.

The reason is very simple: the next convening time happens to be during the period when their Luotian Society is changing defense at the Sixth Mountain.

In this way, he would very likely miss it.

Clearly, Tantai Jin knew this better than Luo Chen.

She said indifferently: "At that time, I will let Shi Lan keep an eye on it for you; you just give her the spirit stones."

Shi Lan?

Luo Chen nodded; he could still trust this girl.

Although she is a bit of a small money-grubber, she does things with a sense of proportion.

Giving her some benefits at that time, the matter would definitely be handled beautifully.

With the matter settled, after spending 5, 00 spirit stones to buy the Earth Fire Sha energy in the other party's hands, Luo Chen didn't intend to stay long.

These women of the Ice Fortress, the higher their cultivation, the stranger their temperament.

Whether it was Jueqing or Yinyue, he had to be careful.

Even if Tantai Jin was a little better, it was best to have less contact.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Tantai Jin suddenly spoke.

"Wait!"

"Anything else?" Luo Chen turned back in surprise.

Tantai Jin looked at Luo Chen with a complex expression. "I heard that before, True Person Yinyue promised you heavy benefits to recruit you, and even said she would allow Ice Soul to be your Dao companion, but you refused her recruitment?"

Luo Chen nodded.

He asked casually: "Who is Ice Soul?"

"Fairy Ice Soul."

"Uh..."

Luo Chen was stunned.

Tantai Jin looked at his stunned appearance and smiled rarely, pursing her lips.

"It seems you don't know what you missed!"

Luo Chen asked hesitantly: "Is she the Dao child of your Ice Fortress generation?"

"Yes, you guessed right!" Tantai Jin smiled lightly: "She is True Person Yinyue's eldest disciple, and also a candidate for the next Sect Master, a proper future Jin Dan True Person. If you married her, you would be a true Ice Fortress person in the future!"

Luo Chen was speechless for a moment.

He remembered that True Person Yinyue had indeed mentioned that she would facilitate him and her eldest disciple becoming Dao companions.

But he never imagined that the other party's background was so great.

Can a sect Dao child be so easily promised to others?

Shaking his head, Luo Chen restored his calm demeanor.

"I'm afraid it's not marrying her, but me being a matrilocal son-in-law in your Ice Fortress!"

Tantai Jin was stunned and said subconsciously: "Does the cultivation world still care about these things?"

Luo Chen laughed dumbly; this woman didn't seem to understand what being a matrilocal son-in-law meant to a man.

Also in this laughter, he gradually understood True Person Yinyue's meaning.

The other party was clearly looking for a helper for her eldest disciple, Fairy Ice Soul.

If there were a master-level alchemist like him to help, the other party would inevitably be able to sit firmly in the position of Sect Master in the future, and as the master of the Sect Master, True Person Yinyue would inevitably enjoy more benefits.

This point can be seen from the fact that Tao Wan of Qingdan Valley was fighting alone at the beginning.

But halfway through, her master, True Person Bai Su, personally came forward to stand for her, and even borrowed the Ice Soul Cold Marrow that could briefly restrain the Purple Extreme Heavenly Fire for her.

It can be seen!

With interests at the forefront, the cooperation between master and disciple, who naturally possess affection, will be even more intimate.

It's just that I don't know if that Ice Soul Dao child knows that she was almost promised to someone else.

Tantai Jin recovered and gave Luo Chen a piece of good news.

"Half a month later, your station will move back, and the Qu family will take over. As for the Luotian Society... I will arrange it!"

Luo Chen's expression moved.

"Then thank you, Fellow Daoist Tantai!"

Tantai Jin said "Hmm" and did not keep Luo Chen any longer.

Watching the back of the other party leaving, she sighed with a little regret.

If only she had met the other party earlier.

Earlier, she could have used the Jade Dew Pill to improve her cultivation, and she wouldn't have lost to Ice Soul during the Dao Seed struggle.

It was just a little bit.

Out of the side hall, Luo Chen walked on the solid street.

His heart finally relaxed.

His risky move earlier had finally seen results!

Under the pressure of True Person Yinyue, Fairy Jueqing began to show goodwill to the Luotian Society.

If they went to the Sixth Mountain and were assigned a station alone, it would be easy to repeat the same mistakes.

But if they followed someone like Tantai Jin, who was a direct descendant of the sect, then even if the sky fell, there would be someone taller to hold it up.

In this way, the casualties of the Luotian Society could also be minimized.

"I just don't know how True Person Jueqing will treat me when I go to the battlefield?"

Luo Chen chuckled, and he already had the answer in his heart.

When he returned to the Luotian Society station, he saw Qin Liangchen, who had hurried back.

"Old Qin, what are you doing?"

As Luo Chen's prestige in the Luotian Society reached an incomparable level, he had to be a little careful when calling his old friends in public.

Calling them by their names seemed distant.

And if he called them "Big Brother" or "Sister-in-law," it would easily cause gossip among the cultivators below.

Therefore, calling him "Old Qin" was both intimate and polite.

Looking at the joyful Qin Liangchen, he smiled: "Where have you been, so happy?"

Qin Liangchen chuckled, "I went to the Luoyun Sect station!"

"Oh?" Luo Chen said in surprise: "Did you see your son?"

"No!"

"Uh, then you're still so happy." Luo Chen was puzzled.

Qin Liangchen laughed loudly, "I'm happy because I didn't see him! Otherwise, if he came to this battlefield, I would be worried to death!"

Luo Chen suddenly realized; he hadn't really reacted to the feelings of a parent just now.

"President, I found out. My Xiaohu is a promising one!"

When Qin Liangchen said these words, he was beaming, his expression vivid to the extreme.

"He has already practiced to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill bestowed by the sect, and is sprinting for the Foundation Establishment stage!"

"Haha, once he succeeds in Foundation Establishment, my Qin family will also have two Foundation Establishment cultivators!"

"Awesome!"

Luo Chen gave a thumbs up.

He was really a bit surprised by this news.

Counting the time, Qin Liangchen's son is only thirty or so years old!

To start sprinting for the Foundation Establishment stage at this age, he is worthy of being a genius with dual spirit roots and sect cultivation.

In the Luotian Society, the one of similar age to Qin Xiaohu is his apprentice, Qu Lingjun.

About two years younger.

Usually, various auxiliary resources are not lacking, and when Luo Chen lived on Tianlan Peak, he would often call him over to give pointers.

But now, he is only at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

The gap is not in resources!

It can even be said that Qu Lingjun's resource supply is above Qin Xiaohu's.

The gap is in talent.

One is dual spirit roots, the other is four spirit roots that are almost waste material.

The chasm between them is bigger than between a human and a dog!

However, Qu Lingjun is not anxious or impatient; he is at the eighth level of Qi Refining at thirty, and has a great chance of practicing to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining before sixty.

This is definitely something that Qu Lingjun in the past, and his deceased grandfather Qu Hancheng, would never have dared to think about.

If he keeps grinding, there will eventually be a day of Foundation Establishment!

At that time, with Luo Chen's help, even if it's hard-poured, he can be poured into a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator!

"By the way, I heard from Duan Feng that we are going back to Tianlan in half a month?" Qin Liangchen asked curiously.

Luo Chen nodded, "Yes, by then Li Yingzhang will be almost recovered, and he will take you back together."

Qin Liangchen was quite happy.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly reacted.

"Aren't you going back with us?"
