Chapter 427

Soon!

Luo Chen overturned his own feelings!

Fortunately, he didn't join the Ice Fortress early!

The reason is simple: the Ice Fortress sect's resources are too barren.

Luo Chen wanted to refine some elixirs while cultivating, and by the way, explore the nature of the withered and glorious fire.

But after he proposed the batch of medicinal materials he needed.

The Ice Fortress spent a few days gathering a batch for him.

The quality was uneven, the years didn't quite match, and the processing wasn't quite up to standard.

"Strange!"

"Clearly, the Ice Fortress also had an alchemy master in the past. It stands to reason that the personnel configuration and medicinal material processing procedures in this regard should have mature precedents!"

"Moreover, several materials are missing."

After carefully selecting the materials on hand, Luo Chen could only come to one conclusion.

At most, he could only open the furnace a few times and refine a hundred or so elixirs.

"Forget it, after all, they are not the alchemy disciples of the second hall of the Luotian Association that I personally cultivated. They don't understand my alchemy habits, and the quality control in medicinal material processing is also much worse."

"This place is not suitable for alchemy, let's make plans after getting out of the Ice Prison!"

Dismissed the idea of alchemy.

Luo Chen turned his attention to daily cultivation.

He discovered something.

A piece of good news!

That is, his soul foundation has increased by another thirty percent!

Currently, the soul strength is completely not inferior to those old-school late Foundation Establishment cultivators who have been cultivating for one or two hundred years.

"It should be related to my breaking through the inner demons and the clarity of my thoughts."

"In addition, spending three years refining the withered and glorious fire, the soul was also constantly used."

"Now that it has suddenly relaxed and slowly recovered, it has gradually reached a new height."

Originally, Luo Chen's soul foundation was stronger than his cultivation base, reaching the level of the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.

Now, with further progress.

It has reached the realm of perfection.

If it can go up another level, that would be soul strength comparable to the Jin Dan stage.

However, that step is extremely difficult.

"It is rumored that the Luoyun Sect has a secret technique specifically for tempering the soul, which can allow Foundation Establishment cultivators to cross levels to control puppets stronger than themselves, and even control multiple puppets alone."

"If I could get it, that would be great."

Of course, this is just a beautiful fantasy.

Such a secret technique, just thinking about it, you know it must be the most core secret method of a sect, how could it be easily obtained?

"Perhaps, I can find time to ask Senior Sister Canglong?"

Luo Chen's thoughts turned, and he couldn't help but look forward to the next meeting.

Abandoned the idea of alchemy.

Except for cultivating, Luo Chen used the extra time he had on reading books.

Many books were read, but they could all be classified into one category.

Core condensation secret techniques!

"Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation", "Mixed Origin Method", "Escape from the Cage", "Locking Pearl Curtain".

Three inferior and one superior, three secret techniques.

In addition, there are the cultivation insights of the "Locking Pearl Curtain" secret technique traded to him by the Luoyun Sect, which was one of the conditions for the transaction he reached with the Luoyun Sect through Tianxingzi in Tianhuo Immortal City.

Reading these secret techniques thoroughly is naturally the only choice.

He once asked Canglong if the Ice Fortress had a better core condensation secret technique than "Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation".

The other party said frankly, yes!

It is a middle-method core condensation secret technique called "Ice Heart Formula".

But this technique is not suitable for Luo Chen.

It is more suitable for female cultivators, and they must be female cultivators who mainly cultivate water and ice systems.

According to Canglong, this technique, combined with Yulu Elixir, should have miraculous effects.

This is also why the Ice Fortress, after learning that Luo Chen was under Fairy Jueqing, was extremely determined to hire him as a guest elder.

Although not suitable for Luo Chen, Canglong also said that as long as Luo Chen has questions related to core condensation, he can ask her.

If she is not free, go find Fairy Jueqing.

Canglong had already greeted Jueqing in advance, and the other party would not shirk.

Such sincerity, no wonder Luo Chen changed his previous idea of never binding too deeply with the Ice Fortress and affectionately shouted that "Senior Sister".

"On the core condensation secret technique, since I cannot rely on the Ice Fortress for help, I can only rely on the resources I have on hand."

"Three inferior and one superior, four secret techniques, are actually enough."

Luo Chen first opened the cultivation insights of "Locking Pearl Curtain" sent by the Luoyun Sect.

Very coincidental!

The owner of this insight is named Linghu Jie.

It is the Jin Dan cultivator who drove three puppet ghost kings at Dajiang Workshop to besiege Pang Renxiong.

Thinking of the other party's superb strength, Luo Chen was extremely looking forward to the other party's insights.

【The Locking Pearl Curtain technique was obtained by our sect's ancestor from a secret realm, equipped with three skills and two techniques, with which the ancestor established the inheritance of the Luoyun Sect. Cultivating this technique is extremely painful and difficult. If you practice another soul-cultivating secret technique of our sect, it is best. If not, you must have a strong soul foundation, otherwise, it will be light to have soul confusion, and heavy to have the path destroyed, and that Jin Dan Great Dao is even more unthinkable. When I condensed the core, this technique was only cultivated to the small success realm, because the pain was truly unbearable, and time did not wait for me...】

One by one, the small characters were written without much literary talent.

But the content made Luo Chen watch with relish, and he sank into it unconsciously.

Three months later.

Luo Chen looked at the cold woman in front of him and couldn't help but smile: "Fellow Daoist Dantai, we haven't seen each other for many days, why are you so unhappy? If there is anything unhappy, say it and let me, who is cultivating bitterly, be happy."

Dantai Jin glared at him, "Elder Luo, please respect yourself!"

Luo Chen laughed, not caring.

He had already seen through that this woman's coldness was just imitating her master, Fairy Jueqing.

Her true personality should be another look.

He was just cultivating too bitterly and had nothing to do, so he joked and teased.

His gaze fell on the wooden tray held by the other party, and he asked curiously: "This is?"

"Elder Cheng Yi of our sect brought two sets of magic clothes with the sect's logo, which can be changed and washed. A formal elder identity token, the one you had before was temporary. There is also a storage bag."

"Originally there were also supplied spirit stones, elixirs, magic tools, and talismans."

"But the Supreme Elder said, you don't lack elixirs. And because we maintain the Yulu Elixir business with our sect, spirit stones don't need to be issued. She said, you can understand these."

A total of seven things, classified and configured very completely.

Luo Chen asked with great interest: "What about the magic tools and talismans I'm missing?"

"You lack magic tools?"

Dantai Jin looked at Luo Chen speechlessly.

Okay!

Luo Chen really doesn't lack them, he has a pile of magic treasures on hand.

"As for talismans, they are actually Ice God Jade made of black ice, used to prevent disciples from going into qi deviation. My master already sent it to you a long time ago."

Luo Chen touched his chest, where he was indeed wearing a piece of Ice God Jade.

This jade was indeed a magic tool engraved with the talisman technique, and it would not be wrong to say it is a talisman.

Luo Chen accepted the magic clothes, token, and storage bag.

If all of them were worn, he would be a genuine guest elder of the Ice Fortress.

"Why did you think of sending these for no reason?"

Facing this question, Dantai Jin's face was not very good.

"Three months later, the sect will hold a core condensation ceremony for Bing Po. As an elder, although you said in advance that you would not attend. But what if? So, the Supreme Elder asked my master to have someone send the corresponding things to you."

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

Suddenly, he understood why the other party was in a bad mood today.

That Fairy Bing Po has a bigger name than Dantai Jin.

And she snatched the Dao Child position, suppressing her peers in the Ice Fortress.

Now she has condensed the core in advance and is about to take charge of the Ice Fortress as Sect Master, how can Dantai Jin be in a good mood?

He shook his head, "Actually, you are not bad either. I see your aura is long and your spiritual power is restrained. I fear that you are only forty or fifty years away from the Foundation Establishment perfection. At that time..."

Dantai Jin listened to the previous words quite comfortably.

Later... what do you mean by only forty or fifty years away?

How many forty or fifty years can a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator have in this life?

She glared at Luo Chen and turned to leave.

Luo Chen shook his head with a smile, not caring about her attitude.

Looking at the elder token engraved with a crystal snowflake logo, which has a second-tier defensive spell that can be cast instantly—Ice Shield Technique, Luo Chen fell into silence.

What made him silent was naturally the current situation of the Ice Fortress.

Staying in the Ice Prison for more than three years, he gradually learned about the situation of the Ice Fortress from the few people he contacted.

The Ice Fortress is not weak, and because the sect is located in the dangerous environment of the Yuding Domain, the strength of this sect's cultivators is even stronger than that of Qingdan Valley and Mount Ailao.

But it is also the barren environment that hinders her further development.

Originally, supporting nine Jin Dan True Persons was already extremely strenuous.

Now Fairy Bing Po has also been promoted to the Jin Dan stage.

For the Ice Fortress, which cannot expand its territory, this is even worse.

Sometimes, it's not that the more strong people, the better.

It also depends on whether the internal resources can afford to raise these strong people.

Otherwise.

It will instead drag down the cultivation of high-tier cultivators.

As far as Luo Chen knows, the Ice Fortress's financial resources mainly come from operating their own immortal city and the twenty or so markets under their control.

Like the Xuelian Market, it was opened by them themselves.

Besides that.

The Ice Fortress will also sell some special resources from Tianshan to the outside world, mostly related to water and ice systems.

Precisely because the sect's financial resources are few, most of the high-tier female cultivators in the Ice Fortress will learn a skill to earn some spirit stones for their own use.

Such as Fairy Jueqing who is good at making talismans, and the Supreme Elder Canglong, who has superb medical skills, etc.

But these are just private incomes.

For the entire sect, they have to be separated.

"Actually, looking at it this way, the situation of the Ice Fortress is also the status quo of most sects in the Yuding Domain."

"The spiritual energy in this world is abundant, and resources are rich, but human cultivators emerge one after another. No matter how rich the resources are, they cannot withstand the consumption of a large number of cultivators."

"To solve this problem, either internal strife, consuming a part of the cultivators, and freeing up more resources. The Yuding Sword Sect is clearly doing this, so they ignored the destruction of the Yan Alliance."

"Or, expand outward and make the cake bigger."

"And expand outward..."

Vaguely, Luo Chen thought of a word.

Pioneering war!

But soon, he cast aside this thought.

If it is said that the Luoyun Sect conducting a pioneering war can meet the conditions, the Ice Fortress's strength is too far behind.

Most importantly, they lack a Nascent Soul True Person!

Time passed slowly.

The core condensation ceremony for Bing Po is getting closer and closer.

Inside the entire Ice Fortress, there is a lively atmosphere.

Teams of female cultivators go in and out, cleaning and repairing the sect, and arranging the celebration venue.

And the Cold Ice Immortal City belonging to the Ice Fortress, although it is only the last of the top ten immortal cities, has also seen a significant increase in traffic in the past few months.

Cultivators from other sects, led by their elders, arrived at the Cold Ice Immortal City one after another.

Even, I heard that the hostile Yuding Sword Sect sent special envoys to the Cold Ice Immortal City.

I don't know if they will find trouble or give congratulations at the ceremony.

But this move by the Yuding Sword Sect made many people realize.

The Yuding civil war that has lasted for many years may appear at a turning point at the Bing Po core condensation ceremony.

Either it will become more and more intense.

Or it will stop fighting and recuperate.

The disturbances outside have little to do with Luo Chen, who is focused on cultivation.

This day.

Luo Chen sat on the ice bed, his body suddenly trembling violently.

The spiritual energy fluctuations on his body also vibrated violently.

It was originally spreading outward, but suddenly flowed backward!

Not only the spiritual energy scattered outside, but even the spiritual power in the meridians, acupoints, and internal organs in the body flowed backward!

This scene is definitely not a sign of breaking through the realm.

In his heart, Luo Chen looked inside himself, his spiritual sense staring fixedly at his Qi Sea.

That vortex!

The vortex that appeared after the "Qingyuan Wonderful Elixir Method" reached small success!

Over the years, this vortex has been expanding and rotating non-stop.

Whenever Luo Chen refined spiritual power after taking elixirs, it would prioritize entering this vortex.

After being purified and cleansed within it, it is converted into more pure and clean spiritual power.

And the elixir poison contained in the elixir will be excluded from the body.

For many years, Luo Chen had long been accustomed to the existence of this vortex formed by alchemy, and didn't care much.

What he cared about was that the progress of the "Qingyuan Wonderful Elixir Method" had been stuck at 【Master 999/1000】 many years ago, but it was difficult to make progress.

This is a rare situation.

In the past, any spell or alchemy, as long as the proficiency was enough.

Then it would naturally reach perfection.

But only the "Qingyuan Wonderful Elixir Method" was stuck for several years without reaching perfection.

This strange state lasted for a long time.

So long that later, Luo Chen just let it be.

But he didn't expect it at all.

Today, the "Qingyuan Wonderful Elixir Method" suddenly reached perfection!

It came so suddenly, so suddenly that it caught him off guard.

At this moment, inside the Qi Sea!

The originally clockwise rotating vortex began to rotate counterclockwise in a completely different posture.

And, the body size is expanding crazily.

All the spiritual power in the body is gathering toward that vortex.

Those spiritual powers are all spiritual liquids that have been refined for many years and are pure enough to even liquefy.

At this moment, countless spiritual liquids poured in like seawater.

Toward that vortex, poured down

Gather!

Compress!

Merge!

A blurry elixir pill appeared and disappeared in the Qi Sea.

Vaguely, a mysterious feeling appeared in Luo Chen's heart.

The sun and moon in the furnace, the creation is self-evident, something from nothing, dragon and tiger gather—this is the scene of the middle-method core condensation secret technique recorded in the "Nanshan Dao Explanation".

"Am I going to condense the core?"

Sorry, I watched the Asian Games for a while today and dragged it until now to update, fortunately I caught up.

Still eight thousand words, and will continue tomorrow.

Ask for a wave of monthly tickets!
