Chapter 484: Foundation of ten thousand generations, seven great restrictions
On the plain-like Snow Wolf Terrace,
a massive dragon boat was docked, brightly lit with flowing lights and neon colors.
Low-level disciples walked back and forth, serving fresh and delicious food to every table.
Today's main course was wolf meat!
The meat of the Tier 3 demon wolf king that had been subdued by Fu Jiusheng and died under Luo Chen's Profound Fire Sword!
A faint, lingering fishy smell drifted through the dragon boat hall.
Chen Xiuli and Fairy Jueqing, two female cultivators, covered their noses with their sleeves, somewhat displeased with the smell.
Seeing this, Luo Chen, who was sitting above, said apologetically: "Sorry, I didn't expect the spirit chefs below not to have completely removed the fishy smell. If the two of you don't like it, I will order it to be removed."
Before Fairy Jueqing and the others could speak, they heard Jin Buque's hearty laughter.
"It's impossible for the meat of such a demon king, soaked in demon energy day and night, not to be fishy. But the Snow Wolf King is different; it swallows the essence of the sun and moon and is washed by ice and snow. Eating this meat is also a great supplement for Jin Dan cultivators like us! Two Fellow Daoists, why not try it? Once you get used to it, you might find the taste quite good!"
Chen Xiuli hesitated for a moment, picked up a piece of meat, put it in her mouth, and chewed gently.
Soon, her eyes lit up.
"It is indeed extraordinary, completely different from the demon beast meat I've eaten in the past!"
Fairy Jueqing tried a piece; although she still didn't like the fishy smell, the texture indeed had a unique flavor once it entered her mouth.
Her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
The others had already started eating.
Once a cultivator reaches Foundation Establishment, they can abstain from grain for a long time.
But that doesn't mean high-level cultivators have lost their desire for food.
Especially some spirit meals and demon meat that are beneficial to cultivation, which are often very popular among high-level cultivators.
This is also why the profession of spirit chef can be seen everywhere in the cultivation world.
Like this Snow Wolf King meat, it is a great supplementary ingredient!
Fei Ming said with a smile: "I must thank Dan Chenzi for being so generous; usually, where would we get to taste demon king flesh?"
Luo Chen shook his head with a smile.
On the other hand, Song Mi of the Heavenly Blade Sect heroically gnawed on a large piece of meat, showing none of the demeanor of a true cultivator.
He laughed heroically: "Opening the war, eating wolf king flesh—this kind of exciting life is a rare experience in our bitter cultivation years; we should drink a big cup!"
Luo Chen curled his lips and slowly raised his wine glass.
"Fellow Daoist Song is right; this matter is indeed worth a drink. Everyone, please!"
Everyone in the hall raised their glasses and drank together.
After one cup, there was another.
"This second cup is for me, representing the four Fellow Daoists of the Luo Tian Alliance, including Di Wuqi, and the thousands of disciples and sect members, to thank you all for coming to help move the mountain. I will drink first!"
In front of everyone, Luo Chen drank it all in one gulp.
Di Wuqi, Jiang Yu, and the others also drank along.
After the second cup,
Luo Chen stood up from his seat after the maid poured the wine.
"The last cup, I will toast everyone. From now on, the Luo Tian Sect, Wind and Rain Villa, and the Cen family will settle down in this three-mountain land. In your spare time, you are welcome to visit anytime; you will always be friends of the Luo Tian Alliance!"
"Good, being able to make a friend like you, Luo Chen, is my honor, Song Mi; I'll accompany you for this cup!" Song Mi said boldly.
"If I come to visit, I'll be here to earn spirit stones!" Fei Ming said with a smile.
Luo Chen held his wine glass and also said with a smile: "I'm just afraid you won't come! Now that this foundation is waiting to be rebuilt, we need the great help of you, Fellow Daoist from Ailao Mountain! I was thinking this afternoon how I could make you, Fellow Daoist Fei, stay here for a few more days."
Fei Ming laughed out loud.
If the Luo Tian Alliance wanted to build a sect blessed land, it wouldn't be a small matter like Danxia Peak.
He had just helped Ailao Mountain negotiate a big business deal.
Chen Xiuli looked at the high-spirited Luo Chen with envy; she also wanted such a place to cultivate, but unfortunately, the Chen family of the Heavenly Garment Workshop was not good at fighting, and in the short term, they didn't dare to rashly attack famous mountains and rivers with natural spirit veins.
Fairy Jueqing sat below, her slender neck slightly tilted, looking at the extraordinary Luo Chen, her mind actually felt a bit dazed.
She remembered when she first met Luo Chen.
He was sallow-faced, his soul injured.
His cultivation realm was not worth mentioning, and the forces under his command were just a few cats and kittens.
Even his cultivation cave dwelling was only a Tier 2 low-grade one, and that was only because of her that he was arranged a Tier 2 high-grade cave dwelling in Tianlan Immortal City.
Nearly a hundred years passed in a flash.
The other party was already a famous alchemy master, and his cultivation realm was the same as hers.
Regarding status, he was a founder who started from scratch and created a sect inheritance.
Now, he had even relied on his own means to forcibly take down a Tier 3 spirit land!
Such changes were truly moving and indescribable.
Amidst the banter, Fairy Jueqing only heard Luo Chen say: "Everyone, drink this cup!", and she silently drank the spirit wine in her cup.
The banquet was a bit rushed, not grand enough, and certainly not accompanied by immortal songs and dances.
But everyone was full and glowing.
When they talked about something interesting, laughter filled the hall.
Finally, the guests were happy, and it wasn't until dawn that the banquet dispersed.
On Snow Wolf Terrace, Luo Chen enthusiastically saw off his friends one by one.
Whether they were true friends or false friends linked by interests, now that the Luo Tian Alliance was not yet stable, these people were all his good friends!
"Fellow Daoist Song, come visit often when you have time."
"Definitely, definitely!"
"Elder Fei, don't stand me up!"
"Stand you up?"
"I mean, don't make me wait too long!"
"Haha, don't worry, didn't I give you a simple map? Build the foundation according to that first. After I go back, I will definitely invite a batch of the best spirit architects from Ailao Mountain to help you build this sect blessed land into a beautiful immortal blessed land!"
"Then I will wait for your arrival!"
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I'm really sorry for the trouble this time. When you hold your Jin Dan ceremony, you must send me an invitation!"
"Such empty rituals are not that urgent right now. I..."
The woman hesitated, leaving her words unfinished.
Luo Chen saw her hesitation and waited calmly for the rest.
After a long while, Chen Xiuli shook her head, "I wanted to take a Tier 3 spirit vein for my family, so I wanted to ask you to help, but now the Howling Moon Mountain Range is probably going to be divided up, and there won't be any left for my Chen family."
Won't there be any left?
Indeed, there won't!
With the Chen family's strength and connections, it was impossible for them to organize an alliance force as calmly and quickly as Luo Chen.
However...
Luo Chen pointed toward the Great Snow Mountain, "Just wait a while; there might be a turning point."
Chen Xiuli was startled, chewing on Luo Chen's words, and left with a heart full of thoughts.
Then, it was Jin Buque.
"I used to want to invite you to join my Five Elements Divine Sect and share a Tier 3 spirit land with you. Now it seems I underestimated you; you took down a Tier 3 spirit land yourself in such a short time."
"It all depends on everyone's help!" Luo Chen said modestly.
Jin Buque nodded, looking at the scenery of the mountains nearby that still looked a bit messy.
"This is a good place; if you manage it well, it might not be a thousand-year foundation. Oh no, a foundation for ten thousand generations!"
Luo Chen smiled: "I accept your kind words!"
Jin Buque smiled and then took his leave.
Watching his departing back, Luo Chen's smile gradually faded, and his brows furrowed.
This person was too good to him!
From the time of the Jin Dan ceremony, he had been excessively good to him.
Giving spirit pills, promising spirit lands.
After being refused, he wasn't angry or annoyed.
Later, he didn't know where he heard that he needed a secret technique to clear foreign spiritual power, and he took the initiative to find him at the Jin Dan exchange meeting in Broken Moon Immortal City.
This time moving the mountain, he originally wanted to find another family Jin Dan he met at the Jin Dan ceremony.
He didn't expect Jin Buque to volunteer to help.
All these things made it hard for Luo Chen not to suspect that the other party had some ulterior motives toward him.
But he couldn't ask directly, nor could he flatly refuse the other party's kindness.
"I'm just afraid that these gifts have already been marked with a price in the dark!"
"After standing firm, I must let my Luo Net investigate the intelligence of the Five Elements Divine Sect, and I must also make more high-level cultivator friends to inquire about what the Five Elements Divine Sect really wants from me!"
A faint fragrance drifted to his nose.
The woman's indifferent voice entered his ears.
"The foundation is established; what could make you look so worried?"
Luo Chen turned to look at Fairy Jueqing, who had walked up.
He smoothed his brows and shook his head with a smile: "It's not that serious; it's just that everything is waiting to be rebuilt, and there are many trivial matters. Thinking about it, I'm just afraid of trouble."
"Can any trouble be more troublesome than fighting a Tier 3 demon wolf yourself?"
Fairy Jueqing twitched her lips, her gaze falling on the two abrupt high mountains on both sides of Snow Wolf Terrace, and then gradually looking far away.
"What you should really worry about are the possible demon beasts. Although this spirit land is in the outer periphery, there's no guarantee that no demon beasts will leak out from the front battlefield. If you are not careful, it could cause a devastating disaster for your sect."
The Ice Fortress suffers from beast disasters all year round and has a lot of say in this regard.
Luo Chen felt he had learned something.
"Also, there is one more point; you must be mentally prepared!"
"Go ahead."
Fairy Jueqing said faintly: "This spirit land of yours can at least support six Jin Dan masters practicing together. If managed well, its future potential will not be inferior to my Ice Fortress's Heavenly Mountain spirit vein."
Isn't this a good thing? Luo Chen didn't understand the subtext in her words.
Fairy Jueqing took a deep breath and spoke directly.
"On the front battlefield, those large Jin Dan sects fight to the death, and all they seek is a piece of spirit land like this."
"You took it so easily by taking a shortcut."
"You don't think they have any thoughts about it, do you!"
*Whoosh! *
Luo Chen's expression changed instantly.
"I've said all I can; you... take care of yourself!"
Fairy Jueqing sighed, summoned an ice sword, and left sword-riding.
Watching the departing white back, Luo Chen's expression changed constantly.
Their conversation hadn't been hidden from others.
Therefore, Di Wuqi and the others who came to see them off also heard it clearly.
At this moment, all gazes were cast over, full of anxiety.
Finally, Luo Chen waved his hand.
"Don't think too much; whether in name or in fact, this spirit land was taken by our own hands. If someone really wants to have thoughts, we can just take the lawsuit to the Falling Cloud Sect!"
"Divide the cave dwellings first, and then start working!"
Di Wuqi and the others looked at each other and could only accept this arrangement.
However, amidst the worry, there was also something to be happy about.
It was time to divide the cave dwellings!
The Luo Tian Alliance had taken down three spirit lands this time.
And among these three, Snow Wolf Terrace, which was naturally grown, was the most spiritually rich.
This place had a very good quality Tier 3 spirit vein, which, even without development, could support three Jin Dan cultivators for long-term practice.
Iron Green Mountain was slightly inferior, capable of supporting two people.
Dream-Return Ridge was the weakest, but its area was also quite good.
After a fierce discussion, the final distribution result came out.
Snow Wolf Terrace belonged to the Luo Tian Sect, Iron Green Mountain to the Wind and Rain Villa, and Dream-Return Ridge to the Cen family.
This distribution undoubtedly gave the Luo Tian Sect a big advantage.
After all, two Jin Dan cultivators, Luo Chen and Fu Jiusheng, occupied a complete small Tier 3 spirit vein.
But Luo Chen also gave a supplement.
The extra Tier 3 cave dwelling would be set as a weak Tier 3 spirit land, available for cultivators from the three families who reached the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment to use in turns.
And!
Once the Dragon-Trapping Formation exerted its effect in the future and the spirit vein here was cultivated to a certain scale, the extra Tier 3 cave dwellings suitable for Jin Dan cultivators would be given priority to the other two families.
Of course, these were just the big aspects.
On a smaller scale, there were many places that needed to be pondered slowly.
For example, how to divert the spiritual energy in the spirit vein so that low-level disciples could also benefit.
A good blessed land for cultivation cannot just serve Jin Dan cultivators; it must also bless those in Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment.
It can only be said that this blessed land of the Luo Tian Alliance was still in a primitive state and needed to be carefully carved and slowly polished.
If they wanted to achieve the magnificent spirit land situation of the Green Pill Valley or the Flame Alliance, it would take at least a hundred years of cultivation.
Deep in the belly of Snow Wolf Terrace,
in a massive cave dwelling as spacious as a football field,
Luo Chen repeatedly cast cleaning spells to clear the strange odors in the cave.
From time to time, he also cast wave spells to wash the cave walls and ground.
Finally, this primitive and rugged cave dwelling was presented before him.
"Let's make do with it for now!"
"Later, I'll let the people below help me decorate it properly."
Luo Chen smiled and muttered to himself.
Streaks of light flew out from his storage ring.
Corresponding alchemy tools, bookshelves, beds, medicine cabinets, etc.
Finally, he took out an ice silkworm cushion and placed it in the center of the cave dwelling.
Luo Chen sat cross-legged on it, and his mind, exhausted from days of running around, gradually relaxed.
He emptied his mind and adjusted his state.
Then, his natal cultivation technique began to run unconsciously.
A feeling of comfort arose spontaneously.
This was the territory he had taken down!
This was his foundation for settling down in the future!
In time, this place would have prosperous incense, tens of thousands of disciples, and achieve the atmosphere of an immortal sect!
And he, Luo Chen, would also be passed down in the mouths of thousands of Luo Tian Sect disciples as the founder.
After successive battles, it wasn't just Luo Chen and the other four who were tired.
The many low-level cultivators of the Luo Tian Alliance who participated in this battle also underwent a baptism from body to soul.
Yesterday, Luo Chen and the others hosted Fairy Jueqing and the others.
The disciples below also had a rare relaxation.
However, early the next morning, they were forced to get busy.
Before Fei Ming left, he left a simple blueprint, asking the cultivators of the Luo Tian Alliance to follow this map to build the foundation first.
After a while, he would personally bring Ailao Mountain cultivators over to help build the sect blessed land.
It might sound unbelievable.
Cultivators possess great power; wouldn't a casual slash of a sword or knife, shaping earth into a house, create a large area of cave dwelling buildings?
In reality, it's not that simple.
Such casually built sects have messy patterns, conflicting feng shui, and no atmosphere of an immortal sect.
Outsiders would only laugh when they saw it.
And, most importantly, how to build the cave dwelling?
Is digging a hole in the spirit vein a good cave dwelling?
What if you dig a cave dwelling with Tier 3 spiritual energy concentration for a Foundation Establishment early-stage cultivator? Wouldn't they explode and die directly during cultivation!
If you give a Tier 2 cave dwelling to a Qi Refining cultivator, wouldn't it be a waste again?
Regarding this aspect, Ailao Mountain has its own set of methods.
They will build corresponding grade cave dwellings according to the spirit vein trend and spiritual energy dissipation concentration.
And the palaces and pavilions on the mountain surface also have another set of theories.
In short, the Luo Tian Alliance cultivators should just build the foundation first!
Early the next morning.
People outside were busy, and Luo Chen himself woke up from his cultivation.
He slightly perceived the cultivation progress...
Well, he was still in the process of recovering the spiritual power he had consumed earlier.
However, for this Tier 3 cave dwelling that the Snow Wolf King had built casually, Luo Chen also explored some details.
"In terms of spiritual energy concentration, it is indeed Tier 3 level, not weaker than any Tier 3 cave dwelling in a large immortal city."
"And it is endless, without having to worry about over-extracting from swallowing spiritual energy."
"It is indeed a naturally generated Tier 3 spirit vein land!"
Luo Chen was very satisfied with this spirit land.
The only thing he wasn't very satisfied with was that it was only at the Tier 3 low-grade level.
But this problem wasn't a big problem!
When the time comes, let the Ailao Mountain cultivators build it properly, mobilize the earth vein spiritual energy trend to gather here, and they can create a Tier 3 mid-grade cave dwelling.
If it is nurtured for a hundred years, it might not be impossible to cultivate it to the Tier 3 high-grade level!
The cave dwelling he was in now was the best and largest among the cave dwellings currently owned by the Luo Tian Alliance.
The potential was naturally the strongest!
In comparison, the one at Dream-Return Ridge was far inferior.
Iron Green Mountain also had potential, but because the terrestrial Qi was more or less affected during the moving process, it would take a long time to merge with the earth vein here before it could recover as before.
In short!
Everything was developing in a good direction.
Luo Chen didn't continue to cultivate.
There were many things to do now, and he needed to show up often to stabilize people's hearts.
Moreover, he also wanted to learn some formations from Fu Jiusheng and the others while building the foundation.
Changing into a simple magic robe, Luo Chen left the cave dwelling.
"Greetings, Supreme Elder!"
"Good morning, Supreme Elder!"
Walking out, many early-rising Luo Tian Sect disciples saluted and greeted Luo Chen.
Luo Chen wore a faint smile on his lips and nodded from time to time.
Since he formed his core, this was the first time he had been so approachable.
Therefore, everyone could see that the Supreme Elder was in a good mood.
Or rather, who wasn't in a good mood now?
From afar, Luo Chen saw Fu Jiusheng directing a group of disciples in the morning light.
In the sky, streaks of light danced from time to time.
Luo Chen walked up.
"Is there anything I can help with?"
Seeing Luo Chen come, Fu Jiusheng greeted him and said bluntly: "The top priority is to set up the Dragon-Trapping Formation given to you by Elder Meng Changshou of the Medicine King Sect."
"I know this; didn't we build a prototype of the formation yesterday? Why is it stuck today? Material problem?"
Fu Jiusheng shook his head, "Material problem is a small problem, we can buy it from Broken Moon Immortal City at any time. The main problem is that there are not enough formation masters; relying on me alone is a bit troublesome."
Luo Chen didn't understand, "Doesn't the Wind and Rain Villa have two Tier 2 formation masters? Isn't that enough?"
"Not enough, this combined formation, which is comparable to Tier 4, requires at least five people to be built properly." Fu Jiusheng sighed, "I only realized the difficulty after actually operating it."
Luo Chen frowned, "I'll send someone to call Min Longyu!"
"That's still one person short!"
"I'll fill in!" Luo Chen volunteered.
Fu Jiusheng looked at him hesitantly; although Luo Chen showed some dabbling in formations yesterday, he didn't look like an excellent formation master at all.
Can he do it?
Luo Chen smiled freely, "I learn things very quickly, believe me!"
Fu Jiusheng agreed to his self-recommendation with skepticism.
He said casually: "The way of formations originates from restrictions. And this Dragon-Trapping Formation requires the use of the four restrictions of mountain, water, darkness, and brightness among the seven basic restrictions. Later, you will engrave the simplest mountain restriction on the materials..."
"Wait!"
Luo Chen hurriedly interrupted him.
"Seven basic restrictions?"
Fu Jiusheng said as a matter of course: "Yes, didn't Min Longyu tell you? Mountain, water, wind, cloud, darkness, brightness, and emptiness—the seven basic restrictions are also called the seven major schools!"
Luo Chen was dumbfounded; he really didn't know these things.
Could it be that Min Longyu was famous for nothing?
