Chapter 460: Discussing Dao with Red Ling, Sky-High Conditions, Wedding Night, Spiritual Elixir as Betrothal

The ceremony officially began!

Although the highlight of the ceremony was never in the ceremony itself, but before the ceremony.

But the corresponding process still had to be followed.

Light songs and dances, immortal sounds.

Intertwining cups, exchanging insights.

In this way, time flowed by.

From beginning to end, Luo Chen performed steadily and appropriately, not at all like a rogue cultivator.

Among this, naturally, there was the credit of Sima Huiniang and the others.

Having attended other people's Core Formation Ceremonies many times, they were already relatively familiar with such rules and etiquette.

Plus Fairy Ruthless's guidance, Luo Chen could achieve not losing etiquette.

However, he was unhurried and sat like a mountain.

But someone finally couldn't help it.

"I have long heard that when Friend Luo Chen was in Foundation Establishment, he was called unrivaled in combat, secretly the number one Foundation Establishment person in Jade Cauldron."

"I don't know if the fighting methods have improved after forming the core?"

As soon as this was said.

The lively atmosphere in the field suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's gaze was cast on the woman in red.

Jade Cauldron Jin Dan sword cultivator—Red Ling!

Luo Chen knew this would happen; after any ceremony of realm breakthrough, there would always be someone to test the other party's strength.

This is also a way to confirm whether the other party has the strength to become a fellow Daoist.

This kind of discussion method actually doesn't care much about winning or losing.

After all, having just broken through, it is normal not to be proficient in the methods of the new realm.

However, if the performance is too poor, it will still be lowered by three points in other people's hearts.

Clearly, the one who took the lead today was Red Ling.

"Friend Red Ling, today is Friend Luo's big day, how can we move swords and soldiers. And Friend Luo is a noble alchemist, fighting and killing is really spoiling the scenery. Why don't you discuss alchemy with him, talk about it, maybe it will be a beautiful story if it spreads out later."

The one who mediated was Qu Xibai.

After he spoke like this, it led to a chorus of agreement.

Even, among them, there were several Jin Dan True Persons eager to try, issuing a request for battle saying "I will replace Friend Luo to communicate with you."

Only Shenfu Sect Elder Ye Xiang, Fenghua Palace Fengyue, and Five Elements God Sect Jin Buque remained silent, watching this scene with interest.

Facing the gazes and requests for battle.

Red Ling's face was cold, still staring at Luo Chen.

"Fire Spirit Lord, today you are the host, if you don't want to take action, I naturally won't force it!"

Luo Chen smiled.

Not force it?

If it weren't for the representatives of the four upper sects here, the first thing you would do when going up the mountain would be to discuss Dao with me!

Being able to endure until now is really hard for you.

And!

Even his Dao title Fire Spirit Lord was shouted out; everyone understood this kind of provocation.

So be it!

The process that should be followed still has to be followed!

This woman only has the will to fight, but no hostility.

It seems that the other party looks unkind, but in reality, she just wants an explanation.

Pang Renxiong died in Dahe Workshop, and he walked out of Dahe Workshop.

These things cannot be hidden from those who care.

Even if it has nothing to do with him, as Pang Renxiong's direct disciple, there must be a thorn in her heart.

Now discussing Dao and testing hands, if he can pull out that thorn for her, it would be the best.

He smiled happily and spread his palm.

"The Lord has a wish, Chen dares not refuse!"

Red Ling's eyes lit up, and she jumped out, flying in mid-air.

"To avoid ruining your ceremony, why not fight in the sky?"

Luo Chen shook his head, "Just as the fellow Daoists said, fighting and killing is indeed spoiling the scenery. What's more, today's ceremony also includes the meaning of my and my two wives' union. Therefore, I do not agree to a full-scale battle."

"Mm?" Red Ling frowned.

While she was

"One move!"

"You and I will each use one move; regardless of who wins or loses, we shall call it a draw!"

It was not a discussion, but a decision.

Thinking that today was the other party's home turf, Hong Ling found it difficult to insist otherwise.

She took a deep breath, "Fine, then I will follow your lead. I also want to see what kind of ability you have that could actually snatch away the glory of my Senior Brother Lin Qingxuan as the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow.

So that was the thought behind it!

He knew of that Lin Qingxuan.

Years ago, he had already topped the list of the Ten Great Immortal Cities on the Dao Discussion Platform's Heaven's Pride Ranking.

It could be said that he was already the true number one Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Yuding Domain.

However, when the two great sects were in civil war, the other party began to seclude himself to break through to the Core Formation stage.

He himself had also used one real battle after another during this process to snatch the title of the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator of Yuding.

This woman...

Luo Chen smiled freely, and his extended right hand suddenly lifted!

"Watch out!"

With a light shout, the five fingers of his right hand continuously formed seals.

Streams of magic power circulated, lingering on his fingertips.

His movements were not fast, but his posture was ancient and grand.

Sitting upright above, he was as motionless as a mountain, yet his red robes fluttered without wind, snapping loudly.

A spell!

With the moment he gathered his Qi and formed the seal, everyone realized what Luo Chen's method was.

It was not a magic treasure, but the spell that the other party was famous for.

Was it a fire spell?

The next moment!

Luo Chen's palm suddenly paused and pressed down from the air.

Hum!

A humming sound rang out.

In the sky, a huge cyan handprint suddenly appeared.

At first it was illusory, but in an instant, under the replenishment of magic power, it became extremely solid.

Between the palms, even the fingerprints and knuckles were lifelike.

The cyan spiritual energy surged and churned, yet it did not stir up wind or clouds; it was very clear that the power had been condensed to the extreme.

It was not a fire spell.

It was a wood spell!

Jin Buque of the Five Elements Divine Sect narrowed his eyes and blurted out.

"Innate One Qi Great Handprint!"

At this very moment, the handprint was blasted out.

Wherever it passed, the void rumbled.

In mid-air, Hong Ling had long since turned her sword pill into a sword, her entire body floating in mid-air, and extremely sharp sword Qi poured out from her.

She swung her sword moves, her posture graceful.

Truly as elegant as a swimming dragon, as light as a startled swan!

Seeing the cyan great handprint pressing down, she gave a delicate shout.

"Break!"

A beam of sword light pierced through with an unstoppable momentum.

The two collided in an instant.

Chi!

A black dot was immediately broken open in the great handprint.

The sword Qi was weakened by several degrees, but it still flew toward Luo Chen.

"Brother Chen, be careful!"

"Husband!"

Two worried voices rang out in his ears.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, and his right hand, which he had not withdrawn, was suddenly shrouded in a blue, shimmering light.

He squeezed gently.

That sword Qi was crushed in his palm.

Jin Buque stood up abruptly, shocked: "Glazed Heavenly Curtain! The most cumbersome and complex defensive water spell among second-tier spells, you have actually cultivated it to the realm of instant casting."

Luo Chen nodded at him, then looked at Hong Ling.

"As expected of the Yuding sword cultivator known for having the number one combat power, this intent of one sword breaking ten thousand methods actually forced me to use two moves; I have lost."

In mid-air, Hong Ling's clothes were disheveled, as if she had been swept by a gale.

She smoothed her hair, her face flushed with a mix of green and red.

After a long while, she shook her head violently.

"No, I lost!"

"Although your palm was broken by my point-breaking-the-surface technique, the remaining power was still there, and it had a great binding force; I could not have dodged it."

"But you were able to withdraw your magic power in an instant, not harming me in the slightest."

"If this were a real battle, my broken sword would have done you no harm, but you restricted my movements; the subsequent strikes would surely have left me seriously injured."

"Therefore, my momentum was stolen, and the initiative was taken; for a sword cultivator, this is already a defeat."

The way of the sword cultivator speaks of the momentum of one sword breaking ten thousand methods, and follows the first-mover advantage of one sword rising from the heart, anticipating the enemy's initiative.

From this perspective, she had indeed lost.

And!

She formed her Core even before Luo Chen!

This exchange was very short, and the time was very fast.

In the blink of an eye, the Foundation Establishment cultivators could not see it clearly.

But the group of Core Formation cultivators certainly knew who had won and who had lost.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "I won the initiative and momentum, you won the second move I was forced to use, so we both won. Let this battle be considered a draw!"

Hong Ling looked at him in surprise, wanting to admit defeat.

But under the watchful eyes of everyone, she did not continue to argue.

Today, she represented the Yuding Sword Sect; others might not care about winning or losing, but the Sword Sect certainly would.

Since Luo Chen had provided a way out, she could just take it.

Therefore, after a salute with cupped hands, she sat down again.

After she sat down.

The atmosphere in the venue became lively again.

Although Jin Buque also sat back down, he still kept praising Luo Chen as he looked at him.

"Before I came, I heard that you were proficient in fire spells, but now it seems that the rumors are greatly mistaken!"

Everyone was stunned.

But his next sentence cleared up everyone's doubts.

"It's not just fire spells; these water-type spells are also used with ease. And this Innate One Qi Great Handprint is a spell that encompasses all five elements. You released it with wood-attribute spiritual power, taking the path of binding."

"I imagine that with your ability, you have also mastered the suppression of the earth type, the dominance of the fire type, the sharpness of the gold type, and the slowness of the water type!"

"Tsk tsk, this level of spell attainment, even within my Divine Sect, is top-notch!"

Laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the technique.

Jin Buque's words were undoubtedly the best commentary, explaining the mystery hidden in that short exchange just now.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "You flatter me."

"It is not flattery!"

This time, it was Fifth Qi who spoke.

"You are indeed powerful. You dared to fight Core Formation cultivators while at the Foundation Establishment stage, and now that you have achieved the Core Formation stage, your strength is even greater than before. With such ability, staying here on Danxia is truly a waste."

Others savored these words and realized his unspoken meaning.

Regardless of what others were thinking, Fifth Qi said directly: "I have formed an alliance with Fellow Daoist Jiang Yu to establish the Wind and Rain Villa, and we intend to make a big splash in the upcoming opening war. Fellow Daoist Luo, I wonder if you are interested in joining us and carving out a third-tier spiritual land in the Xiaoyue Mountain Range?"

This naked invitation instantly caused a commotion among the crowd.

If three Core Formation cultivators formed an alliance, wouldn't such strength be comparable to an ordinary great Core Formation sect?

However, before Luo Chen could respond.

Fairy Fengyue, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke: "Fellow Daoist Luo Chen, my Fenghua Palace's Dan Ding Academy is still missing a vice-dean. Join my Fenghua Palace, and you will certainly not lack spiritual veins or elixirs."

As soon as she spoke, Fifth Qi immediately shut his mouth.

The backer behind the Wind and Rain Villa was Fenghua Palace.

How could he dare to snatch someone from Fenghua Palace?

To be honest, he hadn't expected Fengyue to come today at all, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a fool of himself.

"Haha!"

Jin Buque laughed loudly, looking at everyone and saying: "You all have probably forgotten about this Luo Tian Sect that Fellow Daoist Luo Chen established."

"Based on my understanding of you, you are not the kind of ungrateful person who would abandon their sect for personal advancement."

"Therefore, your invitations are still lacking some consideration."

Fengyue was stunned.

Fifth Qi also frowned slightly.

It would be fine if Luo Chen joined the Wind and Rain Villa alone.

But if the Luo Tian Sect also joined, it would directly overshadow his and Jiang Yu's forces; in that case, should the joint force of the three be called the Wind and Rain Villa or the Luo Tian Sect?

Jin Buque ignored their ugly expressions and laughed heartily:

"Fellow Daoist Luo Chen, why not join my Divine Sect!"

"At that time, you won't need to go to the opening war to risk your life. I will send people directly to help your entire Luo Tian Sect relocate."

"In the vast Five Elements Domain, it is still possible to clear out a third-tier spiritual vein for you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed.

What kind of heaven-defying condition was this!

The Five Elements Divine Sect had such a big mouth to be able to offer such an unbelievable condition.

Suddenly!

Someone thought of the words Jin Buque had said after arriving today.

They thought of the aptitude of Luo Chen that the other party had specifically mentioned.

Full Five Elements Spiritual Roots!

In the common perception of the cultivation world, this was a waste of aptitude.

But within the Five Elements Divine Sect, there were quite a few rumors that it was an aptitude no less than a Heaven Spiritual Root!

Could it be that the other party had taken a fancy to this point, which was why they offered Luo Chen such an extremely generous condition?

In fact.

As the person involved, Luo Chen was also plunged into great shock after hearing this condition.

Joining the Five Elements Divine Sect, he imagined that elixirs like the Five Elements Divine Elixir would definitely not be lacking.

The other party had even considered everything for him, and was even willing to clear out a third-tier spiritual vein to settle the Luo Tian Sect.

With such a huge temptation placed before him, Luo Chen's mouth and tongue even went dry.

Jin Buque looked at this scene with satisfaction.

He was very certain!

In the face of such a huge temptation, no one would refuse.

Especially Luo Chen, who came from a background of loose cultivation.

However.

The result was beyond his expectations.

"Today is a grand ceremony, let's not discuss other things."

"Everyone, let's continue drinking!"

Luo Chen raised his wine glass again with a calm expression.

Fifth Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Tao Wan's expression gradually relaxed.

Fairy Jueqing looked at Luo Chen in surprise, not expecting him to refuse.

Fairy Fengyue's beautiful eyes kept darting between Luo Chen and Jin Buque, as if she had thought of something.

Only Jin Buque frowned, looking at Luo Chen in confusion.

Staring for a long while, he took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

He didn't expect that someone could really hold onto their original intention under such temptation.

However!

Luo Chen only said not to discuss it today, but he didn't say not to talk about it later.

He believed that Luo Chen absolutely could not refuse the condition he had offered!

A grand ceremony, guests were all happy.

The five great sects congratulated Dan Chenzi together, and this news also spread quickly.

From now on, among the high-level cultivators of the Yuding cultivation world, there was also a place for Luo Chen.

And within the celebration, the multi-party solicitation, especially the Five Elements Divine Sect offering a sky-high condition to invite Luo Chen to join, caused even more monstrous discussion.

However, Luo Chen had no time to pay attention to these matters.

Because he was in the bridal chamber!

After a bout of intimacy.

On the bed, Luo Chen, who was rarely enjoying the blessing of having multiple wives, had his brows locked deep.

Gu Caiyi was lying on his chest, drawing circles with her fingers.

Sima Huiniang was sitting on a chair in the room combing her hair, looking at Luo Chen's frowning profile.

"Is it appropriate to leave those people hanging?"

"It's not appropriate, but it's even less appropriate to be in a hurry to contact them," Luo Chen replied.

Sima Huiniang couldn't help but ask: "What do you think of the condition Jin Buque offered?"

"I can't see through it, I can't fathom it, but I feel it's not a good thing."

Luo Chen sat up while speaking.

Gu Caiyi murmured, and also obediently draped an outer garment over him.

A colorful elixir fell into Luo Chen's hand.

It was exactly that Five Elements Divine Elixir!

Looking at this elixir, Luo Chen actually felt it was heavy in his hand.

The other party had given heavy benefits one after another, completely exceeding the scope of normal solicitation.

It was simply like a pie falling from the sky and hitting him on the head.

If it were a normal person, they would have been knocked dizzy long ago.

Even for Luo Chen, it was somewhat unbelievable.

But now that he had calmed down, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

After a long while, he said faintly: "It's better to refuse."

"Will it anger the Five Elements Divine Sect?" Gu Caiyi asked casually.

To this, Luo Chen shook his head and said: "There's no need to worry about that. My reputation is currently at its peak, and the other party won't do anything to me. Moreover, the Five Elements Divine Sect is far away from the Yuding Domain, and their reach is limited. Most importantly..."

Sima Huiniang smiled slightly, "During the opening war, the human race must not kill each other!"

"Yes, that's right. With the decree from the Holy Land Mingyuan Sect, the Five Elements Divine Sect dares not defy the world's will to deal with me."

Gu Caiyi muttered: "Indeed, if one were to kill just because an invitation was refused, then the sect's reputation would be gone."

The higher the realm, the higher the status, and the more rules and restrictions there are.

Otherwise, this cultivation world would be in complete chaos.

The Soul Transformation Holy Land wants an orderly cultivation world, not a chaotic and disorderly world.

If it were really like that, what would it be called a cultivation world? It might as well be called a demon cultivation world!

"What about the other forces?" Sima Huiniang asked again.

Luo Chen thought for a while, "Those who sincerely want to cooperate with me will wait for me. Those who have the heart to make friends are also not in a hurry for a moment."

The two women understood.

They had seen the scene during the day with their own eyes.

Naturally, they also knew what status their man was currently in.

His reputation was at its peak, and he was not lacking friends at all.

Leaving them hanging was quite good; it could filter out some insincere people.

"Let's not talk about this."

Luo Chen flipped his wrist, and two jade boxes fell into his hands.

"This is the betrothal gift I am giving you!"

The two women took them, opened them subconsciously, and a round, rolling elixir lay inside.

"This is?"

"I can feel a terrifying medicinal power contained within!"

Facing their curious gazes, Luo Chen smiled slightly.

"Mingyuan Elixir, a third-tier breakthrough elixir."

"Since you have followed me, I naturally won't wrong you. It just so happens that Yao Mingyue and Yuan Xiaoyue have also reached Foundation Establishment, so they can share your burden and leave more time for cultivation."

"One day, I also hope to see you form your Cores and hold a grand ceremony."

He said it lightly.

But how could the two women not know the value of this?

If such an elixir were to spread out, I'm afraid countless Foundation Establishment cultivators would fight to the death, setting off a bloody storm.

But Luo Chen gave it to them so easily.

For a moment, the emotions in the two women's hearts were surging and uncontrollable.

Luo Chen smiled and shook his head, beckoning to Sima Huiniang.

"Come up!"

"The hour is still early, let's indulge in pleasure today!"

Thirty years of secluded cultivation was truly bitter; it was time to indulge a little.

Sima Huiniang rolled her eyes at him, moved her lotus steps lightly, and got onto the soft couch.

Before this, soft sounds of whimpering had already begun to ring out low.
