Chapter 493: Golden Core Second Layer, Breaking Moon Wings, Mirror Flower Water Moon, Blood Tears Reappear

"Humans, you will be torn into pieces by Lord Aoxiao!"

"You don't even know what you are about to face; that is the greatest existence in the history of the wolf clan that has awakened the Heavenly Wolf bloodline!"

"Kill me!"

"Kill me!"

In the valley surrounded by mountains, raw human speech kept roaring.

By the end, it was the purest wolf howl.

Luo Chen sat cross-legged in the void, watching it quietly.

After a long while, he spat out two words.

"Noisy!"

Then, the spiritual formula he had been accumulating on his hand for a long time slowly started.

In all directions, huge water mirrors appeared.

In the water mirrors, female figures like banished immortals were singing and dancing, constantly twisting their waists.

This is exactly the Mirror Flower Water Moon when performed with full power.

Looking at those water mirrors, the third-tier Gray Leaf Wolf King had a moment of confusion, then shook its head fiercely, trying to break free.

However, as Luo Chen continued to cast the spiritual formula, and the magic power surged and superimposed.

There seemed to be a round full moon in the mirror.

Facing the full moon, the Gray Leaf Wolf King couldn't help but howl softly.

The singing and dancing fairies constantly changed, and finally turned into heart-refreshing flowers.

The Wolf King stretched out its fingertips to touch those flowers.

The flowers scattered, water waves rippled, and the full moon shattered.

The Wolf King was furious!

About to roar.

However, the new mirror flowers and water moons were endless, soothing it down again.

Illusion!

Once trapped in it, it is endless!

Luo Chen tried his best to maintain this illusion, distracted to bring up the attribute panel, watching the proficiency finally slowly increase by one.

He knew that his path was correct!

In the brand-new palace exuding fresh fragrance, Luo Chen quietly listened to Xing Zonghan report the situation on the front line.

Half a year had passed since the last major defeat on the front line.

After losing the battle, the Luoyun Sect side did not get angry and launch a large-scale counterattack.

Instead, they methodically dispatched cultivators from all directions, no longer trying to attack the core area of the Aoxiao Wolf Court, but doing the opposite, going to clear out the large and small spiritual vein lands in other places of the Xiaoyue Mountain Range one by one.

Wherever demonic beasts were entrenched, they were swept away.

Even if the Golden Core great sects' goal was third-tier spiritual veins, under such dispatch, they had to obey.

It is said that Master Cheng Yan of the Luoyun Sect slightly changed the rules, no longer using the standard of whoever takes it down owns it, but instead, after the new domain is settled, merit will be rewarded, and territory will be divided by merit.

Some people were dissatisfied, but under the precedent of the five sects' defeat and the heavy losses of the Sword Hall, the dissatisfied voices were also suppressed.

After Luo Chen heard this intelligence, he showed a thoughtful expression.

This is the method of "rural areas encircling the cities"!

First swallow the small territories, then concentrate superior forces to eliminate the core power of the Aoxiao Wolf Court.

This is completely different from the previous thunderous conquest strategy of sweeping across Xiaoyue.

Under this strategy, the number of cultivator casualties was finally controlled.

Even if the Aoxiao Wolf Court side understood the wisdom of human legion warfare, the front line was stretched, and their absolute power was not as good as the human side, so they could only watch helplessly as they were eroded.

"During this period, the Aoxiao Wolf Court sent several troops led by Demon Kings with second-tier demonic beasts as the core to support. But they were all discovered by our side in advance, or intercepted, or divided and wiped out..."

This is surrounding the point to fight the reinforcements.

Generally used on important target territories.

Since the Aoxiao Wolf Court dared to use the strategy of luring the enemy deep, the Luoyun Sect side could naturally use the tactic of surrounding the point to fight the reinforcements to eliminate their vital power.

"After battle after battle, quite a few powerhouses have indeed emerged on the front line battlefield."

"But basically, they are all sect powerhouses!"

"Like Lin Qingxuan of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, he once used a single person and a single sword to kill one and injure one. For example, Master Wei Wuya of the Motian Cliff led a team to intercept a large army composed of late third-tier wolf kings. He personally took action and killed a late-stage wolf king with his palm. He was also personally praised by Master Han Zhan, saying he would definitely form a Nascent Soul within a hundred years!"

"By the way, there is also the Hundred Flowers Palace that participated in the war in the name of the Hehuan Sect. That Peach Blossom Ancestor who rarely shows up also took action. That battle, I witnessed it personally. The sky was full of peach blossoms, the fragrance was like musk and blood, the demonic wolves were confused as soon as they smelled it, and died as soon as they touched it, which was extremely weird!"

Listening to these pieces of intelligence, Luo Chen's heart gradually settled down.

He asked about the situation of Cen Qiusheng and the others.

The answer he got was also good news.

Although Cen Qiusheng was injured in a battle, it was only a minor injury.

The Luotian Alliance cultivators under his command had some casualties, but they were within an acceptable range.

The only pity was that a rising star of the Luotian Sect unfortunately fell in it.

Luo Chen vaguely remembered that person's name, but he wasn't very familiar with him.

Because that sect member had established his Foundation during the period when he was in seclusion to form the Golden Core, and had no contact with him.

"Continue to pay attention to the front line intelligence!"

"Yes!"

After Xing Zonghan left, the urgent mood in Luo Chen's heart finally eased.

The Luoyun Sect is no longer acting recklessly, which is good news.

At least the cultivator casualty rate can be controlled.

Three years later, when he goes to the battlefield again, an absolute advantage must have been established.

By then, just going through the motions will be enough.

After relaxing, Luo Chen's cultivation did not stop.

A month ago, his body had completely gotten used to the Hidden Array, and thus, he could cultivate in full state again.

Before this, whether casting spells or breathing spiritual energy, he had to be cautious, for fear of ruining the integration of the array patterns.

This is also why he left the auction early before.

He really didn't want to participate in any meaningless fighting.

In that state, it was impossible to fight fiercely.

Returned to the cave dwelling.

Luo Chen sat cross-legged, first taking a look at the attribute panel.

The progress of Mirror Flower Water Moon had increased by a full 100 points, and it was less than 400 proficiency points away from Great Perfection.

This is all thanks to that third-tier wolf king's sparring!

"This million spirit stones were spent very worthily!"

"Not only is it an excellent sparring object, if I can tame it and then use the 'Ten Thousand Beast Sutra' to enslave it, the Luotian Sect can add another mountain-protecting spiritual beast."

"However, after being tortured by my illusion like that, the Gray Leaf Wolf King's intelligence is extremely weak, I'm afraid its strength will drop significantly."

Luo Chen shook his head and didn't delve into this matter.

Pinched the spiritual formula of the "Burning Wood True Technique", the magic power in his body circulated, producing a huge suction force, and began to swallow the heaven and earth spiritual energy from the outside world on a large scale.

Three months later.

An escape light soared into the sky from the Luotian Hall in Snow Wolf Flat.

After a circle, it went straight towards the direction of Breaking Moon Immortal City.

News came from the Wanbao Building.

His magic treasure flying wings had been successfully refined!

"Try it?"

"Let me refine it a bit first!"

"No need for such trouble, just drip blood to recognize the master directly."

"Blood refining method?"

"Dripping blood to recognize the master is not some side-door blood refining method; this pair of wings of yours is meant to be worn on the body and driven by blood energy. Dripping blood to recognize the master will not damage the magic treasure's grade and potential, but can also make your connection with it tighter. Only in this way can you be as arm-directing as an arm, and add wings to a tiger!"

Luo Chen was a bit surprised, not expecting such a saying.

Huyan Zhuo didn't care that he didn't know this common sense; many non-sect cultivators didn't know these shallow principles.

He explained it by the way.

"Actually, natal magic treasures can all undergo triple refining. Drip blood to recognize the master, magic power tempering, and soul nourishment. Only in this way can one be foolproof and not easily have the connection with the master wiped out in battle."

"Ordinary magic treasures, on the other hand, are easily destroyed, so mastering them to a certain extent is enough; excessive refining can instead lead to backlash."

Luo Chen suddenly realized!

Sure enough, communicating with these sect cultivators who have inheritance always yields some small tips from time to time.

Immediately, under the witness of the other party, he squeezed out a drop of essence blood and recognized this huge pair of wings that spread to three feet long as his master.

While he was recognizing the master, Huyan Zhuo introduced the specific magic treasure information on the side.

"This is the normal size; after recognizing the master, you can operate the wish-fulfilling array to make it shrink."

"I know you have practiced the demon-like transformation, so the size of this magic treasure can be even larger, allowing you to be as arm-directing as an arm even after transforming."

"According to your requirements, this treasure is cast as a whole with fire-attribute materials, and its function is relatively single. Except for extreme speed, it only comes with a killing move of sky-filling fire feathers."

"Originally, according to our tradition, a magic treasure like this would have to be nourished in the furnace for at least five years to be considered a great success. But you needed it urgently, so the subsequent nourishing steps can only trouble you yourself."

Luo Chen listened carefully to this nagging.

Until this pair of red-with-black wings had a trace of connection with him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let me try it, then I'll pay the final payment!"

Huyan Zhuo nodded with a smile, looking a bit impatient.

Compared to the painful cutting of the ribs when installing the Lieyun Wings back then, this magic treasure-level flying wing was not that troublesome.

Luo Chen's mind moved, and the two wings were embedded on his back.

Then he jumped up, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared over the Breaking Moon Immortal City.

A powerful wind-breaking sound exploded in the void in an instant.

The huge explosion immediately attracted the attention of many cultivators.

Huyan Zhuo stroked his beard, a look of pride on his face.

If such a treasure is used properly by a cultivator, it will surely shake the cultivation world.

Speaking of it, Master Huyan Zhuo has one more proud work!

Before long.

A Daoist in white clothes fluttering in the wind landed excitedly over the Wanbao Building.

Putting away the wings, the Daoist went straight into the building.

"Master, does this treasure have a name?"

"Naturally!" Huyan Zhuo said extremely proudly: "The name of this treasure is very simple, Breaking Moon!"

"Breaking Moon Wings?"

Luo Chen muttered twice, also feeling it was extremely fitting.

Whether it was produced in Breaking Moon Immortal City, or the speed that seemed to be able to carry cultivators through the clouds and break the moon, the two words Breaking Moon were very fitting.

After a test just now, his flight speed increased by nearly 50%.

This was still without using full power.

If magic power was attached to the blood energy, it could almost double.

If he unfolded the Sky Peng True Body, Luo Chen even felt that ordinary mid-stage Golden Core cultivators couldn't catch up with him.

However, he hadn't seen the escape speed of late-stage Golden Core cultivators, so he didn't know who was strong and who was weak.

In short, with this treasure, Luo Chen's confidence suddenly surged several times, and he had a grand ambition that the world of mountains and seas was vast and he could roam freely.

"Very satisfied, right?" Huyan Zhuo asked with a smile.

Luo Chen nodded, "Naturally satisfied, worthy of being a masterpiece of a casting master famous in the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world, thank you this time, Fellow Daoist!"

"No need to thank!" Huyan Zhuo waved his big hand, "Business is business, why thank me."

Luo Chen was stunned, and asked cautiously: "This price..."

Huyan Zhuo waved his big hand again.

However, this time the big hand was held in front of Luo Chen.

Five rough fingers were held in front of him.

Luo Chen's eyes widened, "Fifty thousand! Why don't you go rob! This damn thing is just a low-grade magic treasure!!!"

"Cough cough, Fellow Daoist's language is a bit rude."

"Sorry!" Luo Chen took a deep breath; he had just broken his defense a little bit.

It had nothing to do with his cultivation of Qi, but this price really exceeded his expectations too much.

It was even completely inconsistent with the market price.

Back at the Tianlan Immortal City auction, a mid-grade magic treasure appeared, and it only sold for 350,000.

Now, for a mere low-grade magic treasure, even if he was very satisfied, selling it to him for 500,000 was really too much.

"You listen to me explain it to you in detail."

Huyan Zhuo's eyes were almost squinting with laughter.

He counted with his fingers: "First, this is a strange magic treasure, which will naturally have a premium compared to ordinary magic treasures."

Luo Chen frowned.

"Secondly, to refine this treasure, it took eight months and failed three times. The materials and labor consumed shouldn't be borne by me, right!"

Luo Chen's frown deepened, almost forming a "chuan" character.

"Besides, this is a custom task, I tailored it for you. It's like someone specifically asking you to refine a strange elixir alone; you wouldn't measure the remuneration with the market price, right!"

Luo Chen's frown eased by three points; it seemed to be the truth?

"In addition, you have experienced the wonder of this treasure, right! This treasure has extremely strong potential and is a good embryo that can be cultivated as a natal magic treasure and can be upgraded later."

Luo Chen couldn't help but nod; this was also why he was so excited when he came back just now.

The quality of the Breaking Moon Wings was far above the three magic treasures in his hands.

Even saying, the incomplete Minister Cauldron in his hands, in its complete state, I'm afraid it couldn't compare to this pair of wings.

But thinking about it, Luo Chen's face sank again.

This Huyan Zhuo was clearly being generous at others' expense, using the funds provided by Luo Chen to polish his own casting skills!

He remembered very clearly that his initial requirement was just a flying wing of magic treasure grade, allowing him to perform 90,000 miles.

The Breaking Moon Wings created now had completely exceeded the standard.

In the middle, there must be factors of Huyan Zhuo not being able to control the cost, just to create a work that satisfied himself!

Seeing Luo Chen's face changing from good to bad, Huyan Zhuo's eyes opened.

"Oh right, it's still the opening war period, it's normal for prices to rise a bit! You know, the raw material of your Breaking Moon Wings comes from the Prison Flame Black Phoenix, containing a trace of Phoenix power, this cost..."

Luo Chen bared his teeth.

In the cultivation world, there are many demonic beasts with the word "Phoenix", you can't say everyone has a trace of Phoenix power!

Phoenix is a true spirit-level existence, how could it be so cheap.

Huyan Zhuo didn't care whether he believed it or not, his hands were behind his back.

"Finally, my Huyan Zhuo's reputation is worth quite a few spirit stones, right!"

Luo Chen opened his mouth, and finally could only nod dejectedly.

He finally discovered!

The outside world says Huyan Zhuo has a strange temper; now it seems that whether it's strange or not is hard to say, but when it comes to talking business, he is really experienced.

What happened to the scientific researcher who was dedicated to studying casting skills?

"Sigh, actually, Fellow Daoist doesn't have to be so reluctant. If you really think it's expensive, just return it. Mere blood recognition, I have plenty of ways to solve it, and then I'll take it to the auction..."

"Alright, I'll pay!"

Luo Chen looked helpless and began to take out spirit stones from his storage ring.

He gave a 50,000 deposit before, and now he just needs to pay another 450,000.

However!

When he was about to deliver the spirit stones, his hand suddenly paused.

Huyan Zhuo was stunned, "Any more questions?"

Luo Chen tried to ask: "You said before that you failed three times, are there any defective products left that can still be used?"

The old man was dumbfounded.

You, a famous alchemy master, are still thinking about those scraps!

"Master, once you take action, it's amazing! This transaction, in the history of low-grade magic treasure sales in my Tianfan City, is enough to rank in the top three!"

Ren Gui flattered excitedly on the side.

Huyan Zhuo tasted the immortal tea, looking self-satisfied.

"I didn't slaughter anyone!"

"That Breaking Moon Wing, even if it's not worth 500,000, it's worth 300,000 to 400,000, not worse than ordinary mid-grade magic treasures, and has huge potential."

"As for what level it can reach in the future, it depends on how much energy Danchenzi is willing to spend nourishing it."

Ren Gui nodded repeatedly, looking like you are right.

Put down the teacup.

Huyan Zhuo smacked his lips, "Speaking of which, this Danchenzi's family background is really solid. After others form the Golden Core, their pockets are often cleaner than their faces. He is good, collecting natal magic treasure materials, and building sect spiritual lands on a large scale."

"Master, not long ago, he also spent 1 million spirit stones at the Immortal City auction to photograph a third-tier wolf king!"

Huyan Zhuo sighed in admiration: "Yes, a Golden Core cultivator with such a rich family background is really rare, only those late-stage Golden Core great cultivators can barely compare with him. Ren Gui, do you really think alchemy masters are that profitable?"

Ren Gui scratched his head, "Not all of them, right! Just like you, Master, you earned 500,000 in eight months. If you add other tasks you completed along the way, the income in less than a year is nearly 2 million. We casting masters also earn a lot!"

Huyan Zhuo shook his head, "Silly child, this is making war money, how can it be so profitable usually!"

Thinking about it, he didn't dwell on this matter.

Next, just wait for Luo Chen to use the Breaking Moon Wings to make a name for himself.

By then, his name as the "Father of Breaking Moon Wings" will surely be louder than before.

And, he can use the 500,000 low-grade magic treasure thing to raise his status even higher.

In the future, when others want to find him to customize magic treasures, he can also handle them well.

Out of the Wanbao Building, Luo Chen felt a pain in his heart.

Another 500,000 gone!

Last time he photographed the third-tier wolf king, 1 million gone!

Over the years, he has also paid out of his own pocket and invested quite a bit in the sect's blessed land.

Plus Jiang Yu's fall and Cen Qiusheng's departure, his alchemy cost gap increases by 100,000 every year.

Oh, the materials needed to purchase the natal magic treasure before also cost hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.

Without knowing it, he, who originally had nearly 10 million in liquid funds, now only has 3 million left in his pocket.

And they are all high-grade and mid-grade spirit stones, strategic resources he is reluctant to spend as currency.

A bit panicked!

If other Golden Core cultivators knew about this thought of his, they would probably curse.

Ordinary Golden Core cultivators, whether the spirit stones on their whole body add up to 1 million is hard to say.

You are still left with 3 million, and you are panicked?

"Next, except for the investment needed for alchemy, there shouldn't be any other needs."

"Just leave a budget for the Fire Spirit Diamond needed for the Hunyuan Cauldron."

"Fortunately, the finance is still stable!"

Flying in the sky, Luo Chen kept comforting himself.

If it really doesn't work, he can sell the batch of demonic cores he hoarded, which can also return a lot of blood.

After returning to the Luotian Alliance, Luo Chen didn't go straight back to the cave dwelling, but transmitted his voice to Ceng Yilong and called him over.

"Uncle Master, do you have something to call the disciple?"

"Nothing big, your master has been in seclusion for several years, I'll check your cultivation progress for him."

While Ceng Yilong was anxious, Luo Chen released his spiritual sense to carefully check Ceng Yilong's physical strength.

After a long while, he withdrew his spiritual sense with satisfaction.

"Not bad, although the progress is a bit fast, the foundation is still very solid."

"In this way, you can practice that third-tier flying spell."

Ceng Yilong hesitated: "Is it the flying spell called 90,000 Miles that my master mentioned?"

"Yes, strictly speaking, it actually counts as body technique."

"But to practice that spell, don't you need to practice 'Sky Peng Transformation' first?"

Luo Chen smiled and shook his head, "How can it be so strict, the real limitation of practicing this technique is just a pair of suitable flying wings. Look, what is this!"

While speaking, Luo Chen flipped his wrist.

A pair of palm-sized crimson wings appeared in front of Ceng Yilong.

"Top-grade magic tool, I named it..." Luo Chen looked at Ceng Yilong, "Let's call it Rising Dragon Wings!"

Ceng Yilong was stunned first, then overjoyed.

Immediately knelt on the ground.

"Thank you, Uncle Master, for the treasure!"

Next, Luo Chen first pointed out Ceng Yilong's entry into the third-tier spell "90,000 Miles" for a few days.

After confirming that the other party had touched a bit of the way, he let him practice on his own, and he entered his previous regular life again.

In the small valley behind the Luotian Alliance, the sound of wolf howling was endless, but as time passed, it gradually became weak.

By the end, it was the sound of woo-woo.

Two years later.

In the cave dwelling, Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes.

The magic power fluctuation on his body was surging and restless.

"Didn't expect that the spell I had high hopes for hadn't been completed, but the realm broke through first."

"Golden Core Second Layer!"

"120 years old, since I came out of the first layer back then, it took 10 years, and finally took a small step forward."

Hu...

Luo Chen breathed a long sigh of relief.

This small step was too difficult to take.

Especially in the period before, it was almost like a headless fly, no matter how good the plan was, it was always urgent and powerless.

In the few years later, the original estimated 3-4 years of breakthrough, but because of engraving the array on the body, it took an extra year.

However, it broke through anyway!

Luo Chen closed his eyes and looked inside himself.

In the Qi sea, the five-colored Golden Core was shining, and its volume was visibly doubled compared to before.

Under the Golden Core, a small cyan flame swayed with the flow of magic power, which was the Wither-Prosper Fire he refined.

Devouring the vitality of many demonic beasts, this fire was also obviously strengthened a lot, and even had a feeling of spirituality.

The initial fourth-tier grade is indeed extraordinary!

Besides that, there was a pair of wings in the Qi sea, rising and falling with the surge of magic power, like a small bird flying with the wind.

For this magic treasure that cost him a huge price, Luo Chen clearly valued it more.

Even the Xuanhuo Sword and the Tianyue Purple Gold Wheel were not qualified to enter the Qi sea for daily refining, but the Breaking Moon Wings had this treatment.

Although because it absorbed magic power, it would drag down part of Luo Chen's cultivation speed, Luo Chen still listened to Huyan Zhuo's words.

This magic treasure has great potential!

Since he spent money to buy it, he should invest some resources and nourish it well!

Simply looking inside his own state, Luo Chen clicked on the attribute panel and took a look.

The lifespan limit really changed.

From the previous 402, it became 422!

"After the Golden Core stage, does every small realm increase the limit by 20 years?"

"Then in this way, if I cultivate to the Golden Core Great Perfection, wouldn't I have nearly 600 years of lifespan?"

Luo Chen was a bit surprised.

He thought it would be the same as the Foundation Establishment stage, increasing by 10 years for one small realm.

Then in this way, his future lifespan limit would be a full 100 years more than normal Golden Core cultivators!

"Longevity is in sight!"

Luo Chen beamed with joy, rarely unable to control himself.

Matters concerning the path of longevity are indeed difficult to maintain a calm state of mind.

When his sight swept to the spell column, looking at 【Mirror Flower Water Moon Grandmaster 997/1000】, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a few arcs again.

Sometimes, misfortunes never come singly.

But sometimes, good things always come in pairs!

After forming the Golden Core, he ran around and worked hard day and night, and now it is finally time for a comprehensive harvest.

Pinched a spiritual formula.

"Start!"

Faint black lines appeared on Luo Chen's body, and then disappeared.

And his magic power fluctuation, which had become restless because of just breaking through the realm, was also covered up.

If viewed from an outsider's perspective, what Luo Chen shows now is still the same Golden Core first layer realm as before.

This is the power of the third-tier Hidden Array!

Especially after Luo Chen engraved it on his body, he could control it as he wished, making it even more convenient.

After restraining the magic power fluctuation, Luo Chen went to the back mountain again.

After opening the array, a huge figure crawling on the ground instantly came into view.

And the Gray Leaf Wolf King, who noticed the visitor, actually let out two woo-woo sounds like a docile puppy.

Seeing this appearance, Luo Chen couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Diwu Qi even said that you are fellow travelers on the Great Dao like us, now it seems, beasts that drink blood and wear fur, how can we talk about fellow travelers on the Great Dao."

Muttered a sentence, Luo Chen didn't talk much with it.

Familiar with the road, he performed the illusion.

It could be seen that the Gray Leaf Wolf King was very resistant to this technique, but after Luo Chen performed Mirror Flower Water Moon, it soon indulged in it again.

Even in that psychedelic dream, it would stretch its body from time to time, as if it had found the prestige of being a king of one side again.

This time, Luo Chen didn't perform Mirror Flower Water Moon with full power only once a day like before.

Instead, after one ended, he immediately performed the next one.

He wanted to do it in one go and cultivate Mirror Flower Water Moon to Great Perfection!

When the sun set in the west and the cold moon hung high.

On the attribute panel, the entry related to Mirror Flower Water Moon trembled slightly and finally returned to calm.

"Hu, it took many years, and it's finally done!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, looking at the full moon in the nine heavens, his mood was indescribably comfortable.

But as he watched, his smile disappeared.

Two lines of blood tears flowed down from his eye sockets.

Familiar scenes traced back from the miscellaneous memories.

Luo Chen hugged his eyes abruptly and let out a low roar.
