Chapter 487

Above the sky.

A breeze blew, and the smell of blood was thick.

Luo Chen flicked his hand, shaking off the filth, and looked at the three with a smile.

"Fellow Daoists, what great methods!"

Fifth Qi shook his head, "Your methods are the ones that are truly mysterious."

Yu Jade Jiao Long was a bit half-believing at this moment, and finally, she asked hesitantly: "Fellow Daoist, what you just performed, could it be the third-tier water-type illusion technique, Mirror Flower, Water Moon?"

Her Dream Spring Cave is best at water methods!

Regarding the Mirror Flower, Water Moon, one of the top third-tier water-type spells, she naturally had some understanding.

After some recollection and thought, she was 70-80% confident that what Luo Chen had just performed in the face of danger was indeed Mirror Flower, Water Moon.

Sure enough!

As Luo Chen nodded gently, her doubts were answered.

Jiang Yu, who heard this, also showed shock.

He also mainly cultivates water-type cultivation arts.

The great name of Mirror Flower, Water Moon had been famous for a long time.

This technique is not hard to find, and many Golden Core cultivators have it in their collections. After all, it is a rare illusion technique among spells that touches upon the spiritual sense.

But this technique is extremely difficult to cultivate.

First of all, the threshold is extremely high!

It requires a strong spiritual sense foundation.

Secondly, one must also have extremely high attainments in the water-type spell Water Mirror Technique and the wood-type spell Flower Fairy.

Finally, after the three are fused, it is very difficult to cultivate, and the spell-casting speed is very slow.

It is often used by high-level sect members after careful preparation to temper the Dao hearts of low-tier disciples.

Never expected!

Luo Chen actually learned this technique and could even apply it to combat situations.

The depth of his attainments can be imagined!

While they were shocked, Luo Chen took the initiative to change the subject.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, where did you come from, and this third-tier mid-grade wolf king..."

While speaking, Luo Chen collected the third-tier wolf king's core, and the three who were the main force in the battle had no objections.

A noble elixir master has made a move and also delivered a blow that settled the situation, so giving some reward is only right.

Yes, the cultivation world is just this favorable to elixir masters!

Yu Jade Jiao Long glanced at the wolf king's core and then said: "We came from Seven Wang Shan, which is a third-tier spirit vein that our Dream Spring Cave is mainly attacking. On this mountain, seven third-tier demonic kings have been entrenched for years, and in this great war, the number has soared to nine! And this third-tier mid-grade wolf king also escaped from there."

Seven Wang Shan?

On the previous troop distribution map, that was a territory with a large third-tier spirit vein.

Luo Chen pursed his lips, "Has it been conquered?"

Yu Jade Jiao Long hesitated for a moment and replied: "I suppose it's conquered!"

Conquered is conquered.

There is no such thing as "suppose".

Luo Chen showed suspicion.

Fifth Qi, who had approached, quietly transmitted his voice: "It's not just the Dream Spring Cave that has its eyes on that territory. Now that they've been fighting for over half a year, even if it's conquered, there will still be disputes later."

Once he said this, Luo Chen understood.

The territory was conquered, but it didn't belong to the Dream Spring Cave yet.

Therefore, one can only say "suppose it's conquered".

Luo Chen smiled slightly and did not continue to delve into this topic.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, since you've come from afar, why not come to my sect as a guest?"

Yu Jade Jiao Long looked up, past the three, and looked at the sect blessed land that was already taking shape.

A strange look flashed in her eyes.

But after simple thought, she still shook her head.

"For this battle, our Dream Spring Cave has suffered heavy losses and still needs me to contribute to the sect. So, I will temporarily decline your kind offer."

After speaking, she didn't wait for Luo Chen and the others to persuade her.

She summoned the Dream Spring Cave cultivators who had followed her in pursuit and flew back in the direction they came from.

Watching their departing backs.

Fifth Qi sighed: "Even a Golden Core sect with such strong strength as the Dream Spring Cave says they have suffered heavy losses, which shows how intense the war on the front line is."

Jiang Yu also echoed: "Yes, fortunately we listened to Alchemist Danchenzi's mountain-moving plan, otherwise, with our little strength, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to make a splash on the front line."

Between his words, there was quite a bit of schadenfreude.

Luo Chen didn't say anything.

It's just that the smile on his face faded away unknowingly.

The war on the front line is intense, and the Golden Core sects have suffered heavy losses.

This is not good news!

When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer; he couldn't just stand by and laugh.

If things continue to develop like this, the words spoken by Fairy Master Jueqing when she left are very likely to come true.

Those sects that have suffered heavy losses are very likely not to watch the Luo Tian Alliance pick up scraps and sit securely in the rear.

As his thoughts turned.

Luo Chen's gaze fell to the ground.

Soaked in the flesh and blood of the wolf king, the earth was fishy and the demonic energy was soaring.

If this geographical environment is cultivated properly, it will be very suitable for planting some medicinal materials in the future.

With a thought, he suddenly said: "Among our families, there are many idle disciples, why not send them out to build defensive works a thousand miles away from the sect blessed land!"

Jiang Yu was stunned, "Is this necessary? Even if we build defensive works, there's no need to stretch the front line so far!"

Fifth Qi also wanted to object, but looking at Luo Chen's determined face, he took back his words of objection.

After careful thought, he suddenly showed a look of sudden realization.

"Alchemist Danchenzi, could it be that you want to circle the area, so that after we settle the Howling Moon Mountain Range in the future, we can use the current defensive works as boundary markers to delineate the territory of our alliance?"

Luo Chen nodded.

"Exactly!"

"A radius of a thousand miles, although not comparable to the five-thousand-mile radius of the Green Elixir Valley in the Jade Cauldron Domain, is already not small for our three families."

It is indeed not small!

Within this range, moving small spirit veins, digging canals, and diverting water is enough to make it small but complete in every detail.

Luo Chen's vision is very detailed and very long-term.

Fifth Qi and Jiang Yu did not have any objections this time and immediately agreed to this proposal.

Luo Chen, who returned to Snow Wolf Terrace, seemed to have no changes in his life.

The cultivators in the alliance were already used to such demonic beast invasions.

In the past half year, demonic beasts from the front line would occasionally wander over here.

Those with lower realms could be handled by the patrolling cultivators.

Those that were stronger would naturally be suppressed by Fifth Qi.

It was only this time, with a third-tier mid-grade one, that Luo Chen needed to make a move personally to prevent it from sneaking into the alliance blessed land and causing massive destruction.

And after returning.

Not long after, good news came one after another.

First was Ceng Ceng Yilong, who returned from the Broken Moon Xiancheng, bringing back the cooperation intentions of Song Mi and Chen Chen Xiuli.

Both of them very enthusiastically agreed to the elixir business with Luo Chen.

They were willing to spend sixty thousand spirit stones each year to purchase twelve bottles of low-grade Starry Elixirs from Luo Chen.

They even took the initiative to propose that part of the payment could be settled with mid-grade spirit stones.

It seems they also knew that the Luo Tian Alliance needed a large number of mid-grade spirit stones to set up the Trapped Dragon Array, and now they were catering to his preferences.

Then!

It was Min Longyu's side.

"This array is called the Hidden Array, it's a third-tier entry-level array, not a top-tier great array."

"But the Hidden Array is 80% composed of obscure restrictions, which can greatly conceal spiritual energy fluctuations."

"When you perform spells, it can have a very good concealment effect."

In the cave.

Min Longyu held a small array that had already been constructed while introducing it to Luo Chen in detail.

Luo Chen listened very carefully.

At the same time, he kept asking questions.

"This array can cover up spiritual energy fluctuations, but magic power levels are far higher than spiritual energy, is the concealment effect enough?"

"Is this array hard to learn? Is it easy to perform?"

"If I want to perform spells, do I have to set up the array in advance? Or should I carry an array compass and activate the compass first? If so, will it affect my spell-casting speed?"

Facing these questions, Min Longyu had foresight and explained them one by one.

By the end.

He showed excitement.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome. Do you still remember the Blood Fiend Spirit-Seizing Array that Hall Master Wang used back then?"

Wang Yuan?

Blood Fiend Spirit-Seizing Array?

Suddenly!

Luo Chen thought of the blood-colored array patterns that were once engraved on Wang Yuan's back.

He asked tentatively: "Engrave this array on my body?"

Slap!

Min Longyu clapped his hands and sighed: "Exactly!"

"The Hidden Array is composed of a large number of obscure restrictions, which are already extremely hidden. If it is directly set up on the cultivator's body, with normal magic power fluctuations covering it from the outside, it will be very difficult to detect whether this array is activated or not."

"It can even be said that with this array, a Golden Core cultivator only needs to distribute a trace of magic power in their body to be in a semi-activated state at any time. It can also conveniently conceal the true strength of a Golden Core cultivator!"

Hearing this, Luo Chen also showed interest.

The Concealment Spiritual Formula and Turtle Spirit Covering Armor he learned before both had the effect of concealing his realm.

At that time, he could even deceive Xiao Xiao Sanren, who had outstanding insight.

But that was limited to before the Golden Core!

After the Golden Core, even though Luo Chen had already cultivated these two techniques to the Great Perfection level, he could only deceive some ordinary Golden Core cultivators.

If it were someone with truly strong cultivation who took the initiative to investigate with spiritual sense, they could still see through Luo Chen's reality.

It's not that Luo Chen is not good enough, but the natural limitations of the low grade of those two spells.

If this Hidden Array also has such effects.

Even if it can't conceal spell fluctuations, it's enough for him to engrave it.

Action is better than thought!

"Since that's the case, then you can help me record this array!"

Luo Chen already had the determination to take off his clothes.

However, Min Longyu showed an embarrassed expression.

"Are there still problems?" Luo Chen asked.

Min Longyu said helplessly: "I do know this array, but if I engrave it with my spiritual power, I'm afraid the effect will be less than one-tenth."

The same array has different power in different people's hands.

Luo Chen understood instantly.

"Then what if I let Fu Fu Jiusheng preside over the engraving?"

Min Longyu shook his head, "Since this array is to assist you in performing spells and concealing magic power fluctuations, it is best for you to engrave it yourself. In this way, the magic power is of the same source, and others will naturally not notice."

That makes a lot of sense.

"So, I have to learn this third-tier array myself, and then operate it myself!"

"Exactly!" Min Longyu nodded, then continued: "And, the more proficient you are with this array, the better the effect will be when you operate it. Maybe you don't understand this meaning, you can refer to the case of Hall Master Wang performing the Blood Fiend Spirit-Seizing Array back then. He was not proficient in it, which is why he regretfully failed when he first seized the Foundation Establishment foundation."

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow.

His thoughts returned to the underground of Little Huan Mountain.

Wang Yuan did indeed regretfully fail when he seized the elderly Duan Duan Qiankun back then.

Instead, he later seized Huo Hu, who was in his prime, and succeeded in one fell swoop.

The change in the middle was precisely because he understood and mastered the Blood Fiend Spirit-Seizing Array more and more with the help of Min Longyu and Duan Feng.

Through this case, Luo Chen also recognized Min Longyu's philosophy.

However, another problem popped up.

"But now, I can only set up some simple first-tier arrays, jumping directly to a third-tier array, won't the span be too large?"

Regarding this.

Min Longyu waved his hand confidently.

"Don't think of arrays as too difficult."

Luo Chen rolled his eyes, "For a genius, it's indeed not difficult."

"Alright!"

Min Longyu scratched his head, but still expressed his opinion.

"This array is just a third-tier small array, and it's a relatively simple concealment array. Plus, you are also proficient in concealment spells and have a foundation in obscure restrictions, so I think it shouldn't be very difficult for you to master this array."

"In addition, the corresponding materials for setting up this array, although precious, are actually very easy to collect."

"It can be said that learning the Hidden Array doesn't have a very high threshold for you."

After this explanation, Luo Chen's doubts were completely dispelled.

He nodded, "Since that's the case, then I'll give it a try! Perhaps I also possess outstanding array talent."

At this, Min Longyu almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

If he really had talent, it would have been shown when he was learning the basics before!

"Forget it, he is the Supreme Elder, I still have to maintain respect."

Although he said this, the smile on the corner of his mouth still couldn't be hidden.

Luo Chen didn't care much.

There is no distinction between superior and subordinate at this time; the other party is his array teacher now, so what if he laughs.

Luo Chen is still very respectful to his teachers!

Beyond Min Longyu's expectations!

Luo Chen's progress in learning the Hidden Array next was almost a thousand miles a day!

Three months later.

Looking at the magic power array patterns Luo Chen left on the ground, Min Longyu was filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible!"

"Three months, and he learned a third-tier array!"

"Could it be that he is the genius, and I am just a fake array genius?"

Regarding Min Longyu's shock, Luo Chen didn't explain too much.

He really didn't have much array talent.

From his daily learning, he already knew it clearly.

The reason he could learn this technique within three months is that he had a foundation, just like the reasons Min Longyu said before.

And in the process of success, the greatest contributor had to be the system!

In the cave.

"It seems now that arrays are more suitable for me to learn than elixir refining, provided there is guidance from a truly powerful array master."

"Unlike elixir refining, arrays are either you know them or you don't."

"All I have to do is master the basic restrictions, then copy the ready-made arrays left by array masters, copy them time and time again, as long as I copy one successfully, then in the system's settings, I'm considered to have entered the door."

"In this way, I can start my old profession of brushing proficiency and just brush the proficiency up like crazy."

Luo Chen's mouth curled up, feeling extremely comfortable in his heart.

Maybe he thought about it a bit too complexly.

But if you really want to talk about it, arrays are like calligraphy.

People without talent cannot become calligraphy masters.

But ordinary people can also write characters that look exactly the same by copying the handwriting of calligraphy masters.

Arrays are the same!

Even, with the help of the proficiency system, Luo Chen can completely achieve the level of passing off the fake as the real, or even surpassing the calligraphy masters.

Great Perfection level is surpassing!

Luo Chen entered the door in three months by copying the ready-made arrays left by Min Longyu.

It's not him who is a genius, it's Min Longyu himself!

Of course, doing this also has flaws.

Limited by talent, even if he can set up the same array more quickly, he cannot do what powerful array masters with talent can do, such as setting up arrays according to the terrain, setting up arrays according to the time, and changing arrays according to the enemy.

"However, this is enough to satisfy my needs."

"Next, I just need to brush up the proficiency of the Hidden Array, and then engrave it on my body, and that's it."

"In this process, the proficiency of Mirror Flower, Water Moon also needs to be improved. The current perfect level is still not enough."

In a short time, Luo Chen planned his daily schedule again.

Cultivation, elixir refining, array learning, spell practice!

"Oh, almost forgot, I have to take the two magic treasures, the Heavenly Moon Purple Gold Wheel and the Profound Xuan Xuan Huo Jian, to the Broken Moon Xiancheng and spend money to ask Master Huyan Zhuo to help repair them."

The Profound Xuan Xuan Huo Jian has been used for many years and is already dilapidated.

Especially after forming the core, the magic power is strong, and every time he activates this treasure, there is always a feeling of being overwhelmed.

After all, it is just an ordinary low-grade magic treasure flying sword.

Luo Chen is afraid that this thing will suddenly disintegrate the next time he uses it.

The Heavenly Moon Purple Gold Wheel is the same; although its power is strong, its parts are too easy to damage.

It was damaged when he killed that third-tier mid-grade Snow Wolf King last time.

Especially after being stained with the corrosive raindrops summoned by Jiang Yu, even though the other party gave the antidote later, it still couldn't be restored to its original state.

These are all part of Luo Chen's powerful combat strength.

There can be no mistakes!

After thinking about these things, Luo Chen's attention was placed on the second-tier demonic wolf that had been subdued in the cave.

"Mirror Flower, Water Moon, activate!"

Very rarely, Luo Chen was dramatic for once.

After pinching the spiritual formula for a long time, he opened his eyes with a sense of ritual.

The second-tier demonic wolf in front of him, which already had some intelligence, immediately fell into heavy illusions.

In a trance, it returned to the time when it was running on the mountain at sunset; that was its lost youth!

Staying up late to write updates, watching the lol world championship final in the afternoon, after all, this is also one of my youth.

If wbg wins, I'll add an update tomorrow!

If wbg loses... I still have to update obediently.

Good morning, everyone!
