Chapter 410: Holy crap, opened a super big blind box

Wave-Swallowing Sea-Yang Yang Yunhan Pot, a magic tool specifically used to carry fluid-like materials.

Common demon beast blood, tree sap, strange water, can all be carried by this magic tool.

Not only is the capacity huge, but it also has the effects of freshness and quality preservation.

The first time Luo Chen came into contact with this magic tool was to carry the blood of an explosive ape demon.

Later, he also saw Wang Yuan use it to carry the essence blood of many Qi Refining cultivators.

That time, he was truly frightened by Wang Yuan in Xieyue Valley.

But compared to the Wave-Swallowing Sea-Yang Yang Yunhan Pot in Xuan Yu's storage bag now, Wang Yuan's time was really a small witch meeting a big witch.

Blood!

Countless fresh blood!

Each drop contains vast vitality.

Each drop is far beyond the essence of a Qi Refining cultivator.

Luo Chen just took a simple look and was horrified to find that the essence blood inside was all essence blood of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

This cannot be fake.

Essence blood is the existence that fuses the cultivator's Qi, blood, and spiritual power, and it also contains some innate essence produced because of breaking through the realm, shedding the acquired, and returning to the innate.

It doesn't show its presence at ordinary times.

Only after actively condensing and stimulating it will it squeeze out a drop.

According to the common sense of the cultivation world, cultivators can only refine ten drops of essence blood without hurting themselves.

In a situation of not caring, this quantity can reach about twenty or thirty drops.

Even if Luo Chen's physique is so powerful, comparable to a Third-Tier Desolate Ancient demon beast, it is only about a hundred drops.

It can be said that each drop is almost equal to one percent of his cultivation.

Even if the realm is higher, the limit is about the same quantity.

And at this moment!

In this Wave-Swallowing Sea-Yang Yang Yunhan Pot, the essence blood contained is more than ten drops, a hundred drops?

At a glance, it is densely packed and fused into a group, like a small pool.

Incompatible with each other, yet coexisting with each other.

As the blood waves ripple, it emits infinite vitality.

"At least the essence blood of over a hundred people!"

"Hiss!"

After calculating the essence blood capacity inside, Luo Chen couldn't help but gasp.

Did this Xuan Yu kill so many Foundation Establishment True Persons alone?

After the shock, he quickly calmed down.

Perhaps not so many.

The Blood Demon legend is not only reflected in killing and sucking blood, but also reflected in the fact that some corpses on the battlefield would disappear strangely when various sect cultivators couldn't collect them in time.

I guess Xuan Yu took advantage of the chaotic battle to quietly steal some corpses.

Then used his own means to extract the residual essence blood from the corpses.

Sometimes he couldn't finish extracting, was caught up by others, and had to flee.

After going back and forth, his conduct was discovered.

That's how the so-called Jilei Mountain Blood Demon legend came about!

"However, what is he collecting so much essence blood for?"

Luo Chen was puzzled.

Muttering to himself, "Is it to practice blood-path cultivation methods? Or is it like Wang Yuan, needing to use cultivator essence blood to refine pills like Blood Sha Pills?"

Luo Chen couldn't get an answer, so he had to carefully put away the Wave-Swallowing Sea-Yang Yang Yunhan Pot.

He even slapped a Second-Tier talisman seal to hide his aura on it.

This thing cannot see the light of day!

Once exposed, let alone himself, even if the Ice Fortress stepped in, they would not be able to protect him.

Don't look at how Wang Yuan is currently being misidentified and labeled with the title of Blood Demon; the major sects are not bothering him either.

In reality, it is just that the major sects are too lazy to pay attention.

They have perhaps already figured out that the real Blood Demon is someone else, not Wang Yuan.

"Actually, it can't be considered a complete misidentification; when Wang Yuan was weak, he really did do these kinds of things."

"This can also be considered a lucky strike."

Luo Chen chuckled and began to take stock of Xuan Yu's legacy.

Unlike Zheng Xian, who fought on his own.

As a male favorite of Ancestor Taohua of the Hundred Flowers Palace, Xuan Yu was in charge of the Taoshan industries for her, so he could be considered the master of a faction.

Therefore, there were abundant resources in his storage bag.

All kinds of elixirs, magic tools and talismans of various grades, and miscellaneous materials.

And the spirit stones that Luo Chen cared about the most!

Just a simple count reached over one million spirit stones; it was truly a huge sum of money.

Two thousand medium-grade spirit stones!

There were also over a dozen high-grade spirit stones!

Logically speaking, since he had cultivated to the False Core realm, his wealth should have been exhausted.

Yet he still had so many resources on him.

After a moment of thought, Luo Chen roughly guessed the origin of these resources.

They all originated from the legacies of the cultivators he had killed.

The False Core realm provided Xuan Yu with a powerful primordial spirit, and combined with some methods from the Hundred Flowers Palace, the imprints on the storage bags of Foundation Establishment cultivators were almost defenseless against him.

That was why he was able to gather so many resources.

"It's my gain, then!"

"This sudden wealth even exceeds my original net worth."

"Tsk tsk, sure enough, a horse doesn't get fat without night grass, and a person doesn't get rich without a windfall!"

The so-called sudden wealth was not just talk.

The one million plus spirit stones were just the most intuitive manifestation.

The miscellaneous resources among them could also be worth two or three million in total.

Not to mention the dozens of magic treasures of various styles.

Calculated at a compromise price of fifty thousand each, that was another few million!

Intermittently.

Luo Chen spent three days thoroughly counting Xuan Yu's storage bag.

The final approximate value reached nearly ten million!

After obtaining this figure, even Luo Chen, who had always prided himself on his abundant wealth, couldn't help but curse with red eyes.

"Rich ghost!"

It was truly a damn windfall!

Sitting on a chair, Luo Chen had over a dozen classics, jade slips, bamboo slips, and paper books laid out in front of him.

In his hands, he was still holding three jade slips.

Over a dozen second-tier cultivation techniques!

Three third-tier cultivation techniques!

All of them originated from Xuan Yu's legacy.

It could be said that relying on these legacies of Xuan Yu was enough to support a medium-sized sect.

Various cultivation resources, miscellaneous materials, magic tools and treasures of various styles, second and third-tier cultivation techniques covering all aspects, and over one million in liquid funds.

Even the Luo Tian Society now probably wasn't as wealthy as Xuan Yu alone.

Even a Core Formation True Person would probably be jealous after seeing this legacy.

"Rogue cultivators are truly terrifying."

"The rogue cultivators who engage in small scuffles are just bottom-feeders; rogue cultivators like this who roam freely on the battlefield are the only way to get rich."

"Calling it Xuan Yu's individual legacy, isn't it the wealth of hundreds of Foundation Establishment True Persons exhausted over a lifetime?"

"Even the entire cultivation base of a Foundation Establishment True Person was gathered in that Wave-Swallowing Sea-Holding Pot. Xuan Yu truly didn't leave even a bit of fur behind; he scraped it clean!"

This blind box opening was a bit too big.

So big that even Luo Chen felt a little terrified.

From Xuan Yu's legacy, he had vaguely guessed the purpose of the other party collecting so much cultivator essence blood.

It wasn't collected for himself.

It was collected for that Ancestor Taohua of the Hundred Flowers Palace!

These spoils of war were just incidental after he killed people to take their blood.

This also explained why Xuan Yu previously had a red silk defensive magic treasure similar to a woman's, and the level of refinement was very shallow.

Because that thing didn't belong to him at all.

It was a treasure bestowed by Ancestor Taohua.

"Sure enough, it was a wise move to keep that red silk."

"Otherwise, if Ancestor Taohua knew that I had intercepted her things, there would definitely be endless trouble."

"I guess the fact that the six sects of Yuding stopped pursuing the Blood Demon matter also has to do with Xuan Yu's identity; he was working for Ancestor Taohua."

After some thought.

Luo Chen carefully picked out all the resources related to Taoshan, Xuan Yu, and the Hundred Flowers Palace and collected them into his storage ring.

These things could not be handled by the Luo Tian Society.

It would cause big trouble.

For the remaining resources, he also tried his best to select those with other people's aura imprints.

For some ownerless items, adhering to the principle of caution first, he also carefully changed them into a separate storage bag for storage.

Who knows if they would have any connection to Ancestor Taohua.

After finishing all this work.

The sky had already darkened.

It was time for daily cultivation again.

Even though there were still many things in those legacies worth exploring, Luo Chen still suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

Cultivation must never stop.

This kind of grinding work must be insisted upon every day.

He had plenty of time to explore those things.

Returning to the cultivation room, the vast spiritual energy, following the operation of his cultivation technique, breathing and exhaling, was constantly transported and refined, finally turning into extremely pure magic power, flowing into Luo Chen's Qi Sea.

The vortex formed by the "Clear Origin Wonderful Elixir Method" was still rotating slowly, as if filtering, making the already pure magic power become even cleaner and clearer.

And Luo Chen's cultivation base was also constantly improving, becoming deeper and more terrifying.

"A complete top-grade defensive magic tool, good stuff, keep it to reward the Foundation Establishment seeds of the Luo Tian Society in the future!"

"This treasure is not bad, Soul-Controlling Bell, a low-grade magic treasure. Xiao Ling has already awakened, and she finds that Soul-Nurturing Banner difficult to use; this thing can be given to her."

"This magic treasure is useless, let the Luo Tian Society find a black market to sell it!"

"Earth-type defensive magic treasure, slightly damaged, but it's eighty percent new, and its power isn't damaged too much. Previously, in order to help me, Chu Kui had one destroyed by Di Wanyun; this item can compensate for it a little."

"What kind of puppet is this? It can actually spit out silk nets; could it be made from spider-type demon beasts?"

"A small pavilion that can expand and shrink, could it be a treasure of a direct disciple of Mount Ailao? It's an essential item for home and travel!"

"It's Profound Heaven Crystal again; it seems that the great cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage are consciously collecting this item, trying to use it to make their life-bound magic treasures. Collected, it will be just right for me to make my own life-bound magic treasure in the future."

"Soft Thunder Sand, not bad, not bad, collected too!"

"Good heavens, third-tier Earth Fire Sha Qi! The person Xuan Yu killed, I'm afraid, was also the greatest direct disciple second only to the Daoist Child within the Yan Alliance! Just right, the Sha Qi fused into my Blazing Fire Miasma is only second-tier; fusing this third-tier one will increase its power by at least four or five times!"

"Dudou, scented handkerchief, rouge... why are there so many women's things?"

"Also, Taoshan was originally an entertainment venue; as the master of a mountain, Xuan Yu naturally would have many such items."

"Pity, pity, a few pieces were originally quite suitable for female cultivators, but it's not easy to expose them."

"'Peach Blossom True Scripture', could it be Ancestor Taohua's cultivation technique? Third-tier level, water and wood dual-system technique, it could actually be used as my life-bound cultivation technique after Core Formation... Pity, it's actually a dual cultivation technique, and it's the most vicious type of dual cultivation technique for harvesting cauldrons."

"'Innate One Qi Great Handprint', third-tier spell, once this technique is released, it contains a vast suppressing power. It is best to cast it with earth and wood-type spiritual energy! A good spell, collect it to study a little, or it could become one of my trump cards."

Xuan Yu's legacy was truly too abundant.

A rough count took Luo Chen three or four days.

And a detailed inventory took a full half a month to barely finish.

Even so, Luo Chen still felt unsatisfied; there were many things among them that still had great potential to explore their mysteries.

In order to figure out these things, it really took up a lot of Luo Chen's time.

Besides the daily cultivation that could not be interrupted.

Even daily calligraphy and painting skills and reading classics were put aside.

Alchemy also only maintained the progress of the Profound Spirit Elixir.

However, everything was worth it.

Luo Chen harvested many, many good things from it.

Not to mention the things prepared for the Luo Tian Society to handle, just the ones prepared for his own use, once thoroughly digested, his strength would definitely skyrocket by a large margin.

While sighing, Luo Chen opened the array.

It was the day for the Luo Tian Society cultivators to come and deliver materials and take resources.

This time, it was Gu Caiyi who came.

Upon meeting, before saying two sentences, she burrowed into Luo Chen's arms.

"Do you miss me that much?"

"Don't you?"

Luo Chen was about to quibble, but found Gu Caiyi pointing at the spring palace painting on the table, looking at him with a smile that wasn't a smile.

"Cough cough, this is..."

Alright, Luo Chen couldn't say this was one of Xuan Yu's legacies.

The fewer people who knew about these things, the safer it was.

"Alright, you hypocritical guy." Gu Caiyi generously patted that spring palace painting into Luo Chen's arms, and then cleaned the table. "Xiao Ling got up early this morning and made you a very rich spiritual meal. I contacted Tai Bai Workshop and purchased a bottle of third-tier spiritual wine."

Plates of exquisite and colorful delicacies were placed on the table.

The pot stopper was opened, and the extremely rich wine aroma drifted out; just by smelling it, it made one's primordial spirit jump and feel extremely happy.

"Cultivation should also have relaxation; it's not like you're in closed-door meditation, what's the point of locking yourself in a cave every day?"

"You are so young, and still have plenty of lifespan."

"Others at your age are still struggling for Foundation Establishment, but you are already at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, a famous great cultivator, and an honored guest of major sects..."

Luo Chen was drinking wine happily and eating delicious food.

Listening to the chattering of the beauty beside him, he felt completely comfortable.

Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Today, Gu Caiyi had extra words.

Regarding her urging him that cultivation needs to be relaxed, Luo Chen didn't refute much.

Reading books daily and untying storage bags were his relaxation time.

How could he not know such a principle?

Before long, Luo Chen ate this meal worth several hundred spirit stones clean, and there was still a lot of wine left, kept for drinking in his spare time.

After a wine burp, Luo Chen couldn't help but praise that Xiao Ling's craftsmanship was getting better and better.

Even if she opened a restaurant in the Xiancheng, it was thought that there would be many returning customers.

This was all culinary skill fed by himself using various ingredients!

While watching Gu Caiyi clean the table, Luo Chen asked about the current situation of the Luo Tian Society.

Almost two years had passed; according to President Sima Hui Niang's original plan, it should have recovered almost enough, right!

What he didn't expect was.

Under Gu Caiyi's narration, the current situation of the Luo Tian Society was even better than he had imagined!

The external business that she was most familiar with had regained various channels.

The elixir business had occupied the low-level rogue cultivator market.

It was the third largest elixir supplier in Tianlan Xiancheng, second only to the Yaowang Sect and the Qingdan Valley.

At the same time, the Luo Tian Society helped the Luo family of Luosha Workshop build a new shop in the Xiancheng, mainly dealing in various mineral materials.

This item clearly occupied the market once held by the Iron Sword Hall and the Xia Hou family.

In other aspects, there were also different progress.

And internally, in these two years, three Qi Refining cultivators had promoted to the Foundation Establishment stage.

They were President Sima Wenjie, Feng Xia, and a rising star named Lou Ying, who came from the Battle Hall.

The current Luo Tian Society was temporarily not lacking Foundation Establishment pills.

Not to mention that the Foundation Establishment pills exchanged from the Jilei Mountain battlefield had not been exhausted yet.

Just Luo Chen constantly opening blind boxes had harvested over a dozen Foundation Establishment pills one after another.

Plus the ones the Luo Tian Society purchased from time to time from the black market and auctions, it was generally enough.

Under these circumstances.

President Sima Hui Niang also carried out drastic personnel changes.

Chu Kui was appointed as the Hall Master of the Battle Hall, and Xing Zonghan took over Su Xiaolin's work, becoming the new intelligence chief of the Luo Net.

Feng Xia replaced Bian Zhen and was promoted to the Hall Master of the Spirit Medicine Hall.

President Sima Wenjie temporarily acted as the Hall Master of the Merit Hall.

Lou Ying was transferred from the Battle Hall to the Outer Sect, serving as an Outer Sect Elder.

Under the leadership of the Saint Hand Sun Sifang, the Sun Medical Hall joined the Luo Tian Society, and Sun Sifang himself became the third Transmission Elder of the Transmission Hall after Wang Yuan and Min Longyu.

These were the major personnel changes.

Among them, some small ones were countless.

Even for some positions that were currently just nominal, President Sima Hui Niang arranged them all the same.

It could be seen that her ambition was not small; she first set up the structure, and after the Luo Tian Society recovered to its peak state, she would go all out to let this faction reach a higher level.

Luo Chen listened with great interest.

He completely delegated personnel power to President Sima Hui Niang, and the other party really dared to do it drastically.

Regarding this, he didn't have any opinions.

Although he didn't follow the set of "don't doubt the person you use, don't use the person you doubt," after many years, it was enough for him to see a person clearly. Corresponding power delegation was more in line with the healthy operation of a faction.

"Doing quite well!"

Gu Caiyi narrowed her eyes, "Praising her, or praising me?"

"Both are good, both are good!"

Luo Chen chuckled and made a joke to skip the matter.

Changing the subject, he asked about another thing.

"How is the collection of materials for reconnecting the broken limbs for Sister-in-law going?"

Bringing up this topic.

Gu Caiyi couldn't help but dim her expression.

She sighed and said, "Most of them have been collected, but the two most critical main materials are still missing."

"Which two?"

"Lotus-Born Seven-Orifice Lotus Root, Su Mud."

Hearing these two names, Luo Chen couldn't help but frown.

He had checked these two materials in the classics; one was third-tier, the other was fourth-tier, both were extremely precious and rare items.

Suddenly, his heart moved.

"I remember that back then, in order to apologize, the Nangong family once sent a section of Lotus-Born Seven-Orifice Lotus Root to Brother Qin; didn't you go and ask Nangong Jin?"

Facing this question, Gu Caiyi shook her head.

She gave a piece of news that caught Luo Chen off guard.

Nangong Jin was dead.

He died on the Jilei Mountain battlefield, and even his corpse was gone.

Affected by this, the Nangong family, who had finally moved to Tianlan Xiancheng, also left Tianlan a few years ago.

"Dead?"

"No wonder when the Battle of Luo Tian happened before, I saw the Great Elder of Lianyun and Li Yixian, but I didn't see him. Given our origins and his personality, he was most willing to do things that added flowers to the brocade. But I didn't expect that not seeing him was because he was already dead."

For a moment, Luo Chen felt quite emotional.

The Battle of Jilei Mountain was indeed a meat grinder.

Too many cultivators died in it.

Now that the Luo Tian Society could show off its power in Tianlan Xiancheng, wasn't it because too many people died on the battlefield, leading to the emptiness of the Xiancheng.

"By the way!"

Gu Caiyi raised her head and said casually, "That Core Formation True Person from Mount Ailao has a rather ambiguous attitude; not only did he help us rebuild Danxia, but he also repaired the ruins caused by the triggering of earth fire in the Casting Hall and the Elixir Hall. Now the elixir room and casting workshop have even better effects than before."

"Is he that kind-hearted?" Luo Chen frowned, "Did he ask for more rewards?"

"No!"

Gu Caiyi shook her head and bit her teeth, saying, "President Sima Hui Niang also said that he was too enthusiastic. But because he is a Core Formation cultivator, it's not good to speculate too much, so she asked me to ask you about this matter to see your thoughts."

Luo Chen fell into silence.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and his mind recalled the details of the two times he spent with Elder Fei Ming.

After a long time, he nodded slightly, deep in thought.

"I roughly know his intentions."

"You don't need to struggle with this matter; just be friendly with the cultivators of Mount Ailao in your daily life."

"As for his side... I will go and see him."

Thanks to the alliance leader "Catty's Night" for the reward!

The sudden surprise really caught me off guard.

First of all, thank you!

Then, according to the additional update rules I formulated when I went online, the alliance leader reward adds two updates, and the silver alliance reward adds twenty updates.

However, it is a pity that I don't have a single saved chapter on hand right now.

And my hands have been hurting badly recently; I was diagnosed with tenosynovitis and periarthritis. It's not selling misery; without this reward, I didn't intend to say this.

Saying all this, the meaning is very simple: additional updates might be a bit difficult.

However, I am not a person who breaks his word.

Two updates are remembered; I will try my best to write them out. When adding updates, the chapter title will indicate that it is an alliance leader reward.

"Catty's Night", thank you again!

(End of chapter)
