Chapter 377: Chu Kui Joins Luo Tian, Luoyun Arrives at Golden Sand

Doing something big?

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow.

His spiritual eyes swept over the other party, and he could see that the other party had bathed and cleaned up.

But there was still a thick bloody evil aura on his body.

It could be seen that he had killed countless people during this period, and his sins were not few.

To be able to let him say the words "something big," it must not be a small matter.

"Tell me about it!" Luo Chen said lightly.

Chu Kui's expression relaxed; since the other party was willing to listen, then this matter had potential.

He did not hide it and said directly: "You and I join forces to hunt down the cultivators of the Sword Sect alliance and obtain the superior-method Core Formation secret technique of the Luoyun Sect!"

Hearing this, Luo Chen smiled.

He couldn't help but shake his head and laugh: "Do you know how many points are needed to exchange for that superior method?"

"I know very well, a thousand Qi Refining cultivators, a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, and if we can kill a few late-stage Foundation Establishment ones, it will be even simpler!" Chu Kui talked eloquently, obviously prepared.

"Simple, hahaha..."

Luo Chen laughed loudly, pointing at Chu Kui and saying: "Since it's simple, why did you come to find me?"

Chu Kui was helpless and sighed.

Yes!

It sounded simple, but doing it was so difficult.

Even on the battlefield, some established rules still had to be followed.

For example, the rules of king against king, general against general, and soldier against soldier.

The lethality of high-level cultivators was too terrifying.

The gap in cultivation realm is an insurmountable chasm!

If a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator were to lose face and desperately slaughter Qi Refining cultivators, it would almost be like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

Not to mention late-stage Foundation Establishment, even an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator could kill a large group.

But obviously, Core Formation masters on the battlefield would definitely not allow such things to happen.

To put it bluntly, once the rules were broken, you Foundation Establishment cultivators could do this, and Core Formation masters could also do it, and wouldn't Nascent Soul masters be able to do it too?

In the end, both sides would have empty hills, and everyone would be a commander without troops.

This war would be meaningless.

Therefore, the rules set by both sides were actually aimed at cultivators of the same rank.

Foundation Establishment cultivators are not allowed to excessively target those in the Qi Refining stage.

And with Chu Kui's ability, he didn't fear any Foundation Establishment existence of the same rank in a one-on-one fight.

But if he had to hunt down a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, this difficulty was not just a little bit.

Moreover, on the battlefield, there were even people stealing kills!

He had beaten someone into a heavy injury and fleeing, and then several true disciples from other sects became interested, joined forces to intercept and kill, and it had nothing to do with him.

This kind of suffering of a loose cultivator, he, Chu Kui, had nowhere to reason!

Looking at the helpless Chu Kui, Luo Chen restrained his smile.

He said plainly: "To tell you the truth, Fellow Daoist Chu, before long, I might lead the team to the rear, and this matter will have nothing to do with me anymore."

Hearing this, Chu Kui's face changed slightly.

"How is that possible!"

"The Bingbao has the fewest subordinates and is also the most lacking in cannon fodder; would they agree to your Luo Tian Society withdrawing?"

Facing his disbelief, Luo Chen shook his head.

"I am now an guest elder of the Bingbao, with a status not inferior to a Core Formation master. It's just a hundred or so Qi Refining cultivators; if I want to take them away, they will naturally give me this face."

Chu Kui opened his mouth, but in the end, he had nothing to say.

Right!

The name of Alchemist Danchenzi was not fought out with fists, but was a genuine alchemy technique.

Such a scarce talent, any grand sect would give a few points of face.

It was very outrageous for such a person to appear on the battlefield!

Seeing his disappointment, Luo Chen couldn't help but ask: "With your ability, joining forces with a few late-stage cultivators to earn merits on the battlefield shouldn't be a difficult thing, right! Why specifically seek out my Luo Tian Society?"

To this, Chu Kui could only smile bitterly.

"You see that wrong; although my connections are wide, they are mostly superficial acquaintances. When there is work, they think of me, but when it involves this kind of life-and-death struggle, they don't dare to entrust their backs to me, and naturally, I don't dare either!"

Luo Chen said somewhat awkwardly: "My words might not sound good, but... although you and I have a bit of origin, we can't be said to have a deep friendship, right! In this situation, you dare to trust me?"

Lies don't hurt people, truth is the sharp blade.

Chu Kui also couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

But immediately, he said seriously: "I quite recognize the name of Fire Spirit Lord!"

Luo Chen was stunned.

Then he smiled with relief.

The world only thought that Luo Chen's other Daoist name, Fire Spirit Lord, came from his powerful fire techniques.

In reality, it was not so.

In the three words "Fire Spirit Lord," there is also the word "Lord"!

Even if it can't be said to be very open and aboveboard, at least in the treacherous cultivation world, he is one of the few who has a bottom line.

Chu Kui said bluntly: "I have a good understanding of your style of doing things. You are generous to your subordinates, sincere to your friends, and even for someone like Tao Wan, who is only a conflict of interest, you do your best once you promise."

"If I were to pick one person out of these tens of thousands of cultivators on this vast battlefield who I could entrust my back to."

"Only you!"

If you know how to speak, speak more.

Luo Chen likes to hear people praise him to his face!

"Moreover, if I join the Luo Tian Society, with your style of treating subordinates generously. When I encounter danger, you wouldn't stand by and watch, right!"

Chu Kui said slowly.

What he said was not wrong.

Luo Chen has always been good to his own people.

Especially this time, personally going to the battlefield, for the cultivators within the Luo Tian Society, they respect him to the extreme.

Only, hearing this, Luo Chen was stunned for a moment.

"Join the Luo Tian Society?" He seemed not to have heard clearly and repeated it.

Chu Kui nodded and said seriously: "I have studied the merit exchange rules of the four sects. If a loose cultivator exchanges for the Core Formation secret method, it can only be used by one person. But if it is a corresponding subordinate force, the entire force can use it together, it's just that it cannot be easily spread."

"With the strength of one person, gathering ten thousand merits, how difficult it is."

"But if you gather the strength of a force to earn those merits, it's actually not that difficult."

"Therefore, I had the idea of cooperating with you."

So that's it!

No wonder the form of address in the first sentence of the other party seeing him was not Fellow Daoist, Brother Daoist, or even calling him by his name directly.

But honored him as "President Luo."

So it was waiting here!

Luo Chen understood the joints in a blink of an eye.

Of course, his attention was focused on Chu Kui's understanding of the rules for exchanging secret methods for merits.

Gathering the strength of a sect to obtain ten thousand merits and exchange for a superior-method Core Formation secret technique.

Is it difficult?

Definitely difficult!

But it seems, it's not that difficult anymore?

Luo Chen estimated that with teammates relying on each other, he could achieve what level in large-scale battles in the Foundation Establishment stage.

And Chu Kui had already given the answer.

"I have seen you cast fire techniques, all of which are magnificent in power and have a very wide range of influence!"

"Especially that move when you suppressed Wei Tuo, it vaguely contained the power of sealing and suppression!"

"If you and I join forces, we can slaughter a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators at will!"

"If we fight guerrilla warfare, and do it a few more times, ten thousand merit points are nothing!"

Every sentence, his tone was very heavy.

In his words, his recognition of Luo Chen's strength was undisguised.

Others might not know Luo Chen's ability.

But he, Chu Kui, had been Luo Chen's sparring partner for a period of time.

Under that seemingly gentle smile, there was a powerful strength that even late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators could not underestimate.

It was even said that because fire-type spells have a very wide range of lethality, the threat to enemies with relatively low cultivation realms was even greater than those late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators who relied too much on magic tools and magic treasures.

Facing his recognition, Luo Chen remained silent.

But this silence, in Chu Kui's eyes, was the biggest good news.

It meant that Luo Chen was really thinking about the feasibility of this matter!

Seeing this, he struck while the iron was hot.

"I am not someone who only cares about the present."

"Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or not, once we cooperate, I will completely join the Luo Tian Society from now on, with you as the master!"

"As long as you don't mind that I have many enemies outside, then I, Chu Kui, will never abandon Luo Tian and leave."

"Not only that, as long as it succeeds, I will owe you a huge favor."

The silent Luo Chen's eyelids jumped.

Chu Kui was "selling himself"!

For the sake of Core Formation, he was even willing to live under a second-rate force like the Luo Tian Society.

You must know that with his strength and reputation, many first-rate forces would be willing to recruit him.

Even Core Formation grand sects wouldn't mind having one more such talent.

It seems he really didn't want to miss this opportunity.

It's just...

Suddenly!

"Luo Chen!"

"Do you really have no thoughts about superior-method Core Formation?"

Chu Kui asked proudly, his words pointing straight to the depths of Luo Chen's heart.

At this step, Luo Chen finally raised his head and looked straight into the pair of tiger eyes full of fighting spirit.

He said softly: "Give me half a month!"

Chu Kui was stunned, then overjoyed.

Half a month, he could afford to wait!

Does Luo Chen have thoughts about superior-method Core Formation?

That's definitely yes!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Tao Wan for better secret techniques related to Core Formation while possessing the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation secret technique.

Although Tao Wan couldn't give it, she gave him the Core Formation insights written by her family's ancestor before he died.

It was precisely after reading "Nanshan Dao Interpretation."

Luo Chen truly understood that the improvement of the success rate of Core Formation by secret techniques of different levels is so huge!

Lower-method Core Formation is the simplest, but the success rate is the lowest, only able to increase by one layer.

Middle-method Core Formation is relatively better, but it is limited, only adding one or two layers.

Only superior-method Core Formation, even if it is the most difficult, once it reaches the threshold of Core Formation, it can increase the success rate by a full three to four layers!

Perhaps some people will feel that it is only three or four layers.

It doesn't seem that high?

But if you compare it with Foundation Establishment.

With a Foundation Establishment Pill, you have three more layers of success rate; without a Foundation Establishment Pill, you really have to look at your aptitude and fate.

Luo Chen never dared to entrust things like fate and luck to them.

And aptitude, he had no confidence at all.

You must know that when he was establishing his foundation, he used a full five Foundation Establishment spiritual medicines before he barely succeeded.

Foundation Establishment was already that difficult.

Core Formation would only be more so.

Moreover, the higher the realm, the more terrifying the backlash after failing to break through the barrier.

Luo Chen dared not guarantee that he could try to break through one after another by relying on his own foundation like Foundation Establishment.

But if he had a superior-method Core Formation secret technique...

Inside the stone house.

Luo Chen, who had detached himself from the cultivation state, calculated how his future Core Formation success rate would be if he had a superior-method Core Formation secret technique.

The final result was unknown.

Because before reaching the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, it was also difficult for him to judge how much progress he could still make.

At the very least, he had to ensure that the success rate that could be improved by external auxiliary secret techniques reached the limit.

As for the matter of risking going to the battlefield?

Once decided, he would not look back.

Along the way, every time he encountered a major event that required a choice, he had almost never retreated.

Whether it was exterminating the Fu family, or cutting down the Xiaohuan Mountain, or even fighting alone at Qinhua River.

Which time was it not winning against the strong with the weak?

Which time was it not going against the trend!

In the mortal world, there is a saying that fame is taken on horseback.

In the cultivation world, it is only more so!

Fight with people, fight with heaven, and even more, fight with oneself!

If he didn't take risks every time, he, Luo Chen, wouldn't have reached this height in just twenty years.

Cowardice, retreat, muddling along, and getting by are not things that those with aspirations for the Great Dao should do!

However.

Every struggle of Luo Chen was by no means that of a mindless brute.

If there was no seven or eight layers of certainty, he naturally would not place himself in absolute danger.

In the next battle, he would not use the cultivators of the Luo Tian Society.

On the battlefield, swords have no eyes.

Although the Luo Tian Society cultivators are elites among loose cultivators, in battles between Foundation Establishment cultivators that often involve hundreds or thousands, they are too easily affected.

Therefore, in this battle, the main force is only him and Chu Kui.

He had a certain understanding of Chu Kui's ability.

Realm is the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, the commonly used weapon is that long stick magic treasure, and the degree of refinement is extremely high!

In addition, he is proficient in body-refining techniques.

There are also some means that have not been revealed to others, but they should not be weak.

After all, his Daoist name, Tiankuizi, is not a false name, but was fought out by himself.

Over the years, he has often taken on black jobs, and his combat experience is only more, not less, compared to Luo Chen himself!

It can be said that as long as the Daoist Son figures of the seven sects do not appear, Chu Kui is not inferior to anyone.

And on his side, Luo Chen is even more confident.

Whether he can win is another matter, but if it comes to running away, he has absolute certainty.

Therefore, in terms of self-preservation, he already had a certain degree of certainty.

"It's a pity, if Wang Yuan were still here, the three of us forming an array would definitely be invincible!"

Luo Chen sighed.

With his large-scale attack spells that were almost instantaneous, coupled with Wang Yuan's single-point breakthrough, plus Chu Kui's profound realm and rich combat experience.

With the cooperation of the three, he really had the confidence to grab enough merits on the battlefield.

It can only be said that there is no perfect thing in the world.

Although Wang Yuan returned alive, the Blood Demon legend he carried made it difficult for him to show his face in a short time.

Otherwise, it would easily bring trouble to the Luo Tian Society.

Thinking of the Blood Demon.

Luo Chen frowned, that was a False Core cultivator.

If encountered on the battlefield, it would be an absolute big trouble.

Regarding this point, he had to find an opportunity to tell Chu Kui in advance to let him be on guard.

After some calculations, the fatigue brought by cultivation actually dissipated quite a bit.

He didn't idle either.

Immediately cast the Blood-Transforming Demon Finger and Cleaning Technique, and set about clearing the flame mark on his forehead.

The reason he asked for half a month.

Was to clear this thing.

Half a month, should be enough!

By then, he could step onto the battlefield without any worries.

Time, in this kind of dedicated cultivation, passed continuously.

During this period, Luo Chen went out once to participate in the free trading gathering held on the Golden Sand Floating Island, and he gained something.

When time reached the tenth day, Luo Chen suddenly walked out of the stone house.

Cultivators acting like him were not few on the floating island.

Everyone looked up at the sky in unison.

A huge flying boat came from afar, clearing clouds and shaking mist, rumbling.

A behemoth over a hundred zhang long, awe-inspiring to behold.

"A magic treasure-grade flying boat!"

"Only when a big shot from the Luoyun Sect personally mobilizes would there be such a formation!"

Amidst the discussions, Chu Kui had already quietly stood by Luo Chen's side.

"This magic treasure flying boat must be loaded with combat puppets of immense power."

"Luo Chen, the time is ripe!"
