Chapter 502: Family letter, start the war!

~20 min read 3,960 words

A bitter smile, and no other thoughts.

At this moment, it was not the time to reflect on himself.

Treating his injuries was the most important thing!

Luo Chen glanced at the golden light entrenched in his body like a maggot on the tarsal bone, then turned his attention to his other injuries.

"End of the golden light, the demonic energy of the Golden Wolf King is finally removed!"

Luo Chen subconsciously stroked his chest, and as his magic power circulated, there was no obstruction.

That Golden Wolf King was clearly the rare but extremely famous Xuanjin Wolf among the wolf clan.

This type of spirit wolf is known for its wisdom.

But the Golden Wolf King he encountered earlier had focused its cultivation direction on tempering its demon body and had achieved extraordinary results.

"It is rumored that the Wolf Emperor Aoxiao is a Xuanjin Wolf with pure bloodline, who awakened the Heavenly Wolf bloodline after transforming and obtained the inheritance. His three sons, because of different skin and hair colors, can be inferred to be from different mothers."

"The Golden Wolf King is good at body tempering, the Black Wolf King is good at demon arts, and the smallest one, although it did not inherit the Xuanjin Wolf bloodline, has extremely strong wisdom, combining sound wave attacks with soul attacks, and is favored by the Wolf Emperor Aoxiao."

"Now it seems that the intelligence collected by the Luoyun Sect was somewhat biased. The Golden Wolf King is by no means as reckless and unintelligent as it appears on the surface; under the condition of having strong body tempering, its demonic power is equally strong and unparalleled."

Luo Chen sighed.

Fortunately, the Withered Glory True Fire he refined was of a high enough grade to suppress the demonic power injected by the Golden Wolf King.

He was waiting, waiting for the day of the decisive battle.

Now relying on the Spirit-Dissolving Liquid and the Dragon-Slaying Technique, the golden wolf demonic power was completely removed. Plus the Sea-Solidifying Elixir to consolidate the turbulent Qi Sea and the Meridian-Supplementing Elixir to nourish the meridians, the internal trouble was finally completely resolved.

And!

In the process of constant treatment, the proficiency of the fourth-tier spell, the Dragon-Slaying Technique, had also been greatly improved.

It had now reached the proficiency level, and it was not far from the perfect stage!

Gained an achievement point!

This could be considered an unexpected joy!

Internal troubles were gone, so next, he could fully treat his external injuries.

Luo Chen felt the state of his body; compared to the beginning, it was much better, but he still couldn't transform into the Heavenly Peng True Form in a short time.

Thus, Luo Chen discovered the flaws in his body-tempering method.

The physique tempered by "Ten Thousand Paths Merging" was very strong and fierce.

But it was too rigid and easy to break!

For those whose physique was not as strong as his, he could crush them.

But if they were stronger than him, it was he who would be easily injured.

To solve this flaw, Luo Chen also had two methods.

One was to concurrently practice the body-tempering method of Wang Yuan and understand the changes in blood energy. In this way, both external and internal skills were practiced, combining hardness and softness, which could buffer external huge forces in extreme collisions.

The second was to rely on the Withered Glory Fire to devour a large amount of spirit beast vitality, so that this hard physique could have stronger recovery power.

It was just that these two methods were simple to say, but thinking about executing them made his head hurt.

The former consumed time and energy and required a certain amount of comprehension.

The latter represented countless spirit beast resources, or "living" resources.

Any living creature with strong vitality could actually be refined and absorbed, such as human cultivators!

"Don't think about these for now."

"Let's heal the injuries first!"

Luo Chen took out the black jar from his storage ring, which still had more than half of the Black Emperor Paste left.

In this long month or so, he had occasionally cast the Five Elements Viscera Art, Bone Restoration Art, Healing Art... and had adjusted his internal organs, meridians, and bones.

Therefore, his body's absorption efficiency of the Black Emperor Paste had greatly increased.

It was expected that it wouldn't be long before his physique could recover as before.

Luo Chen had discovered that this Luoyun Sect secret medicine, Black Emperor Paste, was excellent for body tempering!

It had an unimaginable auxiliary effect!

Especially in the case of injury, the absorption effect was better.

It gave people the illusion that if it were completely broken and then reorganized, it would go to a higher level.

"This idea is too dangerous!"

Luo Chen shook his head violently, throwing this idea out of his mind.

Rather than taking such risks, it was better to think about how to trade more Black Emperor Paste from the Luoyun Sect to assist in body tempering in the future.

Slow absorption also had a very good effect!

"Xu Huanzhen, why are you here?"

"The matter of the night battle at Qianye Peak has spread throughout the Moon-Breaking Immortal City. I was originally responsible for the spirit beast resource business, and the Luoyun Sect collected a lot of spirit beast corpses in that battle, which they couldn't digest for the time being, so it was cheap for us. In addition, your deeds, Supreme Elder, have spread far and wide, and the Sect Master is worried about you, so she asked me to make this trip personally."

Xu Huanzhen carefully raised his head and looked at Luo Chen, "Supreme Elder, are you okay?"

Luo Chen smiled and shook his head, "Let you worry, I suffered a little injury, it's already no big deal."

Hearing this, Xu Huanzhen's expression relaxed.

"That's good, that's good."

Then, he continued: "The Luotian Alliance is worried that you have no one to use, so they sent another batch of Foundation Establishment cultivators."

Hearing this, Luo Chen waved his hand.

"No need, when you go back, take everyone back with you!"

Xu Huanzhen was confused.

Luo Chen explained: "In this battle, my Luotian Alliance suffered heavy losses, and the Sword-Holding Hall will not arrange tasks for me for the time being. Let them go back; guarding our spirit land is what's important."

So that's it!

Xu Huanzhen nodded clearly.

"By the way, when you go back, take Wan Ting of the Wanxiang Sect and Ceng Yilong back too!"

When saying this, a look of sorrow appeared on Luo Chen's face.

When he came out, he brought ten people, and in the end, he only brought back two; it was his negligence.

Of course, he felt guilty, but others wouldn't think so.

At least Xu Huanzhen felt that under those circumstances, the Supreme Elder could still achieve such battle results, which was already a miracle, so how could he ask for more?

After chatting for a few more sentences, Xu Huanzhen intended to take his leave and not disturb Luo Chen's rest.

Before leaving, he presented a letter.

"It's the Sect Master's personal letter, and she entrusted me to hand it to you, Supreme Elder."

"Is it from Huiniang?"

Luo Chen muttered and took the envelope.

"Letter to Husband"

"I, Huiniang, bow respectfully to greet my husband:

Remembering our parting at Xueping, it has been a year in the blink of an eye. At the ends of the earth, I miss the years. The resentment of the long gate, I can't count the mornings and evenings.

However, I alone manage Luotian, with disciples and sect members at my disposal, and all matters are trivial, left for me to decide. You are alone outside, relying on others, who can you consult with.

When you left, there were thousands of things in the sect, and the work of one year has already had results.

Fellow Daoists of Ailao, started construction, moved three mountains, dredged two rivers, built twelve buildings, which can be used for the Luotian Nine Halls, your main hall, and the two halls for mortal miscellaneous affairs.

..."

In the first half of the letter, besides expressing longing, it focused on the changes in the Luotian Sect and the situation within the alliance.

Diwu Qi kept the promise made before Luo Chen left and didn't cause any trouble.

The Cen family changed their previous aggressive style and began to stabilize and cultivate their clansmen, thinking it was because Cen Qiusheng had increased his life by seventy years, and he was not panicked in his heart, and became calm about the operation of the family.

It was the Wanxiang Sect that had strange movements.

A large number of Qi Refining disciples had already defected, or hooked up with the Luotian Sect, wanting to change their sect.

Sima Huiniang gave countermeasures for the situation.

Luo Chen looked very satisfied.

He knew that although he had some insights into sect operation and management, and was no longer as confused as he was at the beginning, he was still much worse than Sima Huiniang, who had been tempered for many years.

The other party only used one year to sort out the internal affairs of the Luotian Sect in the Xiaoyue Mountain Range.

By the way, she also reached a closer cooperative relationship with several other families.

In a good mood, Luo Chen continued to read.

"Suddenly hearing your great name, showing off your power at Qianye Peak, I was overjoyed. Only when I heard the inside story did I know that you were seriously injured and in danger.

Caiyi sent seven messages in a row, and her concern was overflowing.

I think that a great man should not form deep grudges, and should not seek too much grace. Regarding the Luoyun Sect, husband, just do your best, why bother to be loyal to the end and die.

Only by acting according to one's ability is the right way!

However, I am just a woman, not at the scene, not hearing the details, and my words may be inappropriate.

I only ask my husband to cherish yourself and return safely.

The Luotian Sect cannot be without a master for a day, and Sima and Gu cannot lack you and live alone.

Waiting for your return.

——Sima Huiniang"

His hands hung down, and Luo Chen was silent.

After a long while, he shook his head and smiled.

"It's the style of a main wife, bringing Caiyi along too."

As for the content of the letter, he just sighed and didn't think much about it.

Or rather, before this letter, he had already thought it through.

Huiniang was right.

For some things, just act according to your ability, no need to show off.

Just like the battle before, looking back, there was actually a better way to handle it.

Using his own extreme speed to take the two early-stage third-tier Wolf Kings away from the main battlefield was the optimal solution!

Once in a quiet place, whether to kill or escape, the initiative was in his hands, and there would be no subsequent things at all.

As for the Luoyun Sect being slaughtered by the wolf army, what did it have to do with him?

In the end, he was thinking of the grace of Qu Xibai opening the formation of Tianlan Immortal City to help him succeed during Core Formation, so he wanted to do more on the battlefield.

Now, Fellow Daoist Qu Xibai had also fallen.

He could be considered to have repaid this grace.

As for later?

He must be careful and think three times before acting!

Carefully folding the letter and putting it into the depths of the storage ring, Luo Chen intended to go into seclusion to heal his injuries completely.

But this plan was temporarily interrupted.

Ceng Yilong came to the door.

"I'm not going back!"

Luo Chen stared at him seriously, the other party raised his head, with no intention of lowering it.

Under Luo Chen's gaze, he finally couldn't withstand the pressure and whispered:

"The Junior Uncle is fighting on the battlefield, how can I sit in the rear?"

"And... I also want to see the grand scene of the decisive battle!"

Luo Chen frowned, "Who did you hear about the decisive battle from?"

Ceng Yilong said without thinking: "It's spreading like this outside now, saying that the Luoyun Sect doesn't intend to recuperate, but is preparing to make a final effort to fight the Aoxiao Wolf Court to the death on Tiangu Plain and ask for Xiaoyue!"

"And, I also privately asked Aunt Murong, and she did reveal some wind. Saying that the Luoyun Sect is gathering all sect members and gathering strength, and there is indeed a posture of doing a big job."

"This kind of grand occasion, perhaps cultivators of our generation can only see it once in a lifetime."

"I don't want to regret it!"

Luo Chen fell into silence.

After a long time, he said softly: "Then you stay, I can still protect you. But at that time, you must listen to my orders, you know?"

Having received the answer, Ceng Yilong's eyes shone.

"The disciple remembers!"

After dismissing Ceng Yilong, Luo Chen turned and left the cave dwelling gate, heading to the residence where Fairy Jueqing was.

"Is the news of the decisive battle true?"

"Not sure it's definitely accurate, but judging from the Luoyun Sect's movements and the speculation of major forces, it's eight or nine out of ten."

"Did the Jin Dan cultivators of those Nascent Soul sects not give an explanation?"

"How can they guess the True Person's mind; they are not the same as us, combining intelligence and privately speculating. Danchenzi, why do you care about this so much?"

"Being prepared early is always good."

Fairy Jueqing said indifferently: "Actually, you don't have to worry. You made a great contribution in the previous battle, and the Luotian Alliance also suffered heavy losses. Even if there is a decisive battle, the Sword-Holding Hall cannot arrange dangerous tasks for you."

"I hope so!"

Seeing that Fairy Jueqing couldn't find out accurate news, Luo Chen intended to take his leave.

Fairy Jueqing called him to stop, "There have been many private gatherings of Jin Dan cultivators recently, there is one tonight, do you want to go?"

Luo Chen hesitated, but refused with the excuse that his injuries had not recovered and he needed to recuperate.

Of course, he also entrusted the other party to help him collect some Fire Spirit Drills if she encountered them.

Fairy Jueqing naturally had no objection.

Seeing her like this, Luo Chen became curious.

"You don't seem to like joining this kind of excitement on weekdays, why are you so keen recently?"

Fairy Jueqing rolled her eyes, "Do you think I want to?"

She didn't say the specific reason.

But after Luo Chen went back, he gradually figured it out.

The Ice Fortress is now not managing things because True Person Canglong is seriously injured, and several Jin Dan cultivators have been lost, so there is a lack of figures to support the facade outside.

Fairy Jueqing is doing things to support the facade.

"It's hard for her."

After going home, Luo Chen sighed and continued the healing work before.

Half a month later, Xu Huanzhen led the team back to the sect.

Luo Chen wrote two letters and entrusted him to take them back to Sima Huiniang and Gu Caiyi.

As for the others, he didn't say anything.

However, before leaving, Wan Ting of the Wanxiang Sect looked at him with a look of wanting to speak but stopping, which made Luo Chen secretly pay attention.

So, he secretly transmitted to Xu Huanzhen, asking him to tell Sima Huiniang to pay more attention to the movements of the Wanxiang Sect after returning.

By this time, Luo Chen could be considered to have no worries for the time being.

So he declined many social engagements and continued to go into seclusion.

On this day, in the cave dwelling, the sound of metal clashing was constantly emitted.

It didn't stop until the sound of the sharp weapon breaking was heard.

Luo Chen looked at the white mark on his arm and showed surprise.

Not long ago, his injuries had fully recovered, and there were no more internal or external troubles.

And after his injuries healed, he was surprised to find that his body-tempering realm on the attribute panel had changed significantly.

From the previous 【Desolate Ancient Third-tier 26/100】, it became 【Desolate Ancient Third-tier 28/100】.

It had increased by two progress bars!

He had expected the improvement; after all, he had been maintaining food supplementation and using Natal True Fire to temper his body while practicing "Ten Thousand Paths Merging" all these years.

But jumping two progress bars at once was unexpected.

By now, even a top-grade flying sword could not hurt him at all when driven with full strength!

Clearly, this sudden change stemmed from the Black Emperor Paste!

"Good stuff!"

"If there is a stable supply of Black Emperor Paste to assist my body tempering, in at most a hundred years, I might be able to complete body tempering and advance to the fourth-tier Desolate Ancient!"

For a time, Luo Chen's heart was burning, and he paid twelve thousand percent attention to the Black Emperor Paste.

But after the excitement, he felt somewhat dejected.

As far as he knew, the production of this secret medicine in the Luoyun Sect was also extremely scarce.

Ordinary puppets were not worthy of using this ointment.

Only those of the third-tier and above could apply a small amount.

True Person Han Zhan's willingness to give him a portion could be considered extremely generous.

Plus the recent rumors of the decisive battle becoming more and more intense, Mu Yunyan, the chief alchemist of the Luoyun Sect, put her main energy into refining other elixirs, so she naturally couldn't spare her hands to refine Black Emperor Paste.

This directly cut off Luo Chen's idea of wanting to buy it at a high price.

"Can't get Black Emperor Paste, what about the elixir formula?"

Suddenly, this thought popped into Luo Chen's mind.

Sect elixir formulas are never passed on, especially auxiliary elixir formulas related to sect inheritance.

But clearly, the Luoyun Sect's inheritance is not just puppet arts, but also soul-refining methods!

Before, the Luoyun Sect favored him, clearly after he took out the second-tier Tongyou Elixir.

Even for cultivators, external puppets are just means, and internal soul is the foundation!

"If I use the second-tier Tongyou Elixir formula to exchange for the Black Emperor Paste elixir formula..."

There is a gap in the grade of the two, one is second-tier, the other is third-tier.

But the Tongyou Elixir is a rare spirit elixir that increases soul foundation; the latter looks precious, but the body-tempering path has long declined, and the Luoyun Sect uses it in puppet refining, so it can be seen that the body-tempering elixir formula is not worth the grade in the contemporary era.

"Perhaps it is feasible."

Luo Chen muttered to himself, and then seriously thought about the specific details of the transaction.

After a long while, he had a rough plan in his heart.

No need to worry for now!

If he went to the door now, he would be begging people, and who knows if the other party would ask for a sky-high price and open their mouths like a lion.

And if he waited until the Xiaoyue Mountain Range was settled, the Luoyun Sect, which was already injured, would definitely need to restore its strength.

He, who had the ability to refine the second-tier Tongyou Elixir, would definitely fall into their eyes.

At that time, it would be their turn to beg him.

Then, he could negotiate calmly and take out the Tongyou Elixir formula; the Luoyun Sect should be very happy!

After thinking this through, Luo Chen's heart settled down.

That day is not far away!

The decisive battle is just around the corner!

Luo Chen, whose injuries had recovered, still closed his doors to guests.

For now, he was not short of cultivation resources, and his confusion about cultivation had also been inquired about in several Jin Dan gatherings before.

At least, before reaching the late stage of Jin Dan, he was sure of success.

Since that was the case, social engagements were useless.

Instead, hanging high could also raise his reputation.

He is waiting, waiting for the day the great decisive battle arrives.

Or rather, it wasn't him waiting, everyone was waiting!

The Luoyun Sect's movements were no longer hidden at all.

All sect powerhouses returned one after another, and powerful puppets were also constantly sent over under the overtime refining of the Luoyun Sect and Tianfan City cultivators.

Even, the Luoyun Sect didn't know what price they paid, and they got a warship from Tianfan City!

Yes, it was a warship!

That was a unique war magic treasure of Tianfan City!

Eight hundred years ago, it shone brightly in the opening war of Tianfan City.

Since that battle, Tianfan City rarely used it, and other sects couldn't buy or borrow it.

Luo Chen went out to see it once, and it hovered above the base, a huge flying boat that looked quite ferocious.

But it was only ferocious, and he couldn't see the full picture.

Perhaps he would have to wait until the decisive battle started to see the full power of the Tianfan warship.

The Luoyun Sect's movements were not just that.

They summoned all sects participating in the opening war and ordered them to send sect cultivators to gather on the outskirts of Tiangu Plain.

Countless cultivators began to gather like clouds.

Ten thousand, twenty thousand, up to one hundred thousand people!

These were all cultivators who were good at fighting, not some miscellaneous army mixed with low-tier weak cultivators.

Outside the one hundred thousand cultivators, there were countless loose cultivators.

All of them were loose cultivators who heard the wind and wanted to share a piece of the pie.

Those who dared to come were naturally loose cultivator powerhouses who had confidence in their own means.

The atmosphere in the camp was becoming more and more restless.

Like a volcano that could erupt at any time, waiting for someone to raise their arms and shout.

Clearly, the ownership of raising arms and shouting was bound to be the Luoyun Sect.

When time slowly reached the tenth year of the opening war, that Luoyun Sect Nascent Soul True Person with a legendary color finally appeared in front of the world.

On Qianye Peak.

Under the eyes of everyone.

True Person Han Zhan, in green clothes and a solemn face, gave a light shout.

"Start the war!"

A light shout, under the infusion of vigorous magic power, was like a raging wolf and a wild wave, rolling forward, resounding in all directions.

Responding to him, besides the urgent crustal hollow sounds on Tiangu Plain, there was also a word like a mountain and sea.

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

Thanks to Jixin Jifo Jidao, Kanfengleah, hero Lingcang, hslhsl, and the corpses under the book pile for the rewards.

It hasn't been smooth writing recently, and I haven't received valuable rewards for a long time, so I feel ashamed!

Thank you all for your support, Xiaoyu will work harder, first give a guarantee, absolutely will not be finished! Whether it's a bad ending or not, anyway, it will be written to a normal ending, worthy of the subscription money and reward money you invested, as well as those extra monthly tickets!
