Chapter 541: This job, we must do

Deep in the dark and mysterious ocean.

The water flowed steadily and rhythmically, and schools of fish floated by freely.

Occasionally, a ray of sunlight penetrated through layers of water, and after catching a glimpse of a flash of bright red, it disappeared.

The quiet coral trench, within a radius of thousands of miles, is enough to be called a forbidden zone for living things.

Any creature with some intelligence will subconsciously avoid this place.

Because those blood corals clustered together, beneath their gorgeous appearance, are piles of white bones.

A layer of red light spread along the rock wall, isolating the water flow.

Deep in the rock wall, there was a simple cave dwelling.

Inside the cave, a white-robed Daoist with loose clothing sat quietly.

At first glance, he was silent, like a dead object.

But every thirty-six breaths, his lips would slightly open and close, exhaling a long and thick breath.

Motionless as a mountain, towering as a pine, he actually gave people the illusion of an ancient Profound Turtle alive in the world.

Suddenly, the white-robed Daoist slowly opened his eyes.

His calm eyes examined himself, and he nodded with satisfaction.

"Three months of seclusion, polishing the realm, finally consumed that restless fire."

As his mind turned, the aura on his body was suddenly released, climbing step by step, as if a long-accumulated volcano was about to erupt. Its momentum was so domineering that ordinary Golden Core cultivators could not match it, and the terrifying spiritual pressure could perhaps only be compared to that of a great cultivator.

Suddenly, the momentum retreated like a tide, all collected in his body, like a withered tree or a dumb bird, showing no fluctuations.

Looking at him now, he was no different from a mortal.

This retraction and release represented that Luo Chen's realm was stable, and he had thoroughly become a middle-stage cultivator at the fourth level of Golden Core!

However, although he was at the fourth level of Golden Core, Luo Chen had abundant confidence that he could fight a late-stage Golden Core cultivator!

His eyelids lifted slightly, gazing into the void.

A transparent light screen unfolded slowly like a curtain.

Achievement Points: Looking at the attribute panel, Luo Chen felt full of harvest.

It had been a full twelve years since he escaped from Mount Cangwu Mountain.

Twelve years is enough for a baby to grow from a newborn to a teenager who understands human affairs.

And for him, there were earth-shaking changes!

The first is the terrifying change in lifespan!

It went directly from 446 to 480, a surge of a full thirty-six years.

Among the changes, excluding the fixed twenty-year increase from the third level of Golden Core to the fourth level, the extra sixteen years, according to Luo Chen's judgment, should have been produced by his feat of refining ten thousand Blue-Ringed Sea Snakes with Withered Glory True Fire in the Xintian sea area back then.

Ten thousand first-tier sea snakes, after absorbing the immense life force, provided sixteen years of longevity.

It was not a surprise!

Because of this surprise, Luo Chen once had the urge to hunt demon beasts on a large scale, and even went to the Profound Rock sea area to hunt Demon Crabs, driven by this desire.

However, under this desire, he still tried his best to restrain the greed in his heart.

Some things are too much of a good thing.

What if the lifespan limit is high?

If the realm is not raised, it is ultimately a moon in the water, a flower in the mirror.

On the contrary, if you engage in large-scale killing, it is easy to invite disaster.

He had only hunted Demon Crabs for five years, and it brought the siege of the Demon Spider Crab clan; if he really let go, who knows if the next one to come to the door would be a Demon Emperor!

Aside from the changes in the Qi Refining realm, another surprise was the progress in body refining.

But this joy, because he had been paying attention to the growth of his physique every moment for these five years, Luo Chen was not so excited now.

Desolate Ancient Third Realm, progress reached 67%.

This also means that he has reached the late-stage realm.

Desolate beasts do not transform into human form, purely walking the path of strength, and are known for their physique.

The physique of a Third Realm late-stage desolate beast, placed in the current Mountain and Sea World, is enough to crush the vast majority of Third Realm demon beasts.

Maybe, it could even compete with some Fourth Realm demon beasts that don't pay much attention to body refining.

"This is the result of my fleeing to the Profound Rock sea area and cultivating hard for five years!"

Luo Chen had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Five years, from entering the middle stage to entering the late-stage realm in one fell swoop, brought him powerful combat strength.

However, while happy, Luo Chen also had a little hidden worry.

"My physique has an increasing demand for external objects. Now the Third Realm Black Emperor Paste, although it still works, no longer has the efficiency of rapid progress as before."

"If I want to maintain high-speed growth in the increasingly difficult late-stage cultivation, I fear I have to consider the Fourth Realm Black Emperor Paste."

"But the Fourth Realm Black Emperor Paste..."

Luo Chen was in a dilemma.

The main material for the Fourth Realm Black Emperor Paste is a Third Realm demon beast!

Demon beasts that can cultivate to the Third Realm level are basically hegemons of one side, can be called Demon Kings, and are definitely not weak.

Especially the Demon Crab clan, which is suitable for refining Black Emperor Paste, and they live in groups.

Over these years, he only killed three Demon Kings three months ago and collected two complete crab shells.

The Third Realm Demon Spider Crab that was captured alive was already gone.

The crab shell was refined into medicine.

The crab meat was eaten by Luo Chen and Black King.

A pair of giant pincers and eight crab legs were carefully collected as weapon-refining materials, intending to be processed after leaving the Profound Rock sea area.

The demon pill was the same.

The rest of the scraps were all rewarded by Luo Chen to Black King, letting him swallow and refine them.

Finally, it was the demon soul!

It was personally captured by Luo Chen into the Soul-Refining Banner, becoming the third major Ghost King-level main soul of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Under Han Zhan's control, it should be able to explode with extraordinary power.

It can be said that this existence, who was still called "fellow Daoist" by Luo Chen, was skinned, dismantled, and utilized to the extreme.

Back to the topic.

Thinking about refining a large amount of Fourth Realm Black Emperor Paste, Luo Chen was in a bit of a dilemma.

Even, it might not just be the Fourth Realm Black Emperor Paste; in the current situation of alerting the enemy, hunting low-level Demon Crabs to refine Third Realm Black Emperor Paste is probably a bit difficult.

"Let's take it one step at a time!"

"No matter how much I plan, it can't keep up with the changes."

Luo Chen shook his head, his gaze sliding all the way down.

The two main cultivation methods, one is slow in progress, the other is completely perfect, so there is no need to say more.

The "Ten Thousand Beast Sutra" for enslaving demon beasts reached the perfect level of proficiency, which was an unexpected joy.

It is estimated that it has something to do with him often driving Black King and Seeing Tianxuan.

Under long-term driving, Luo Chen still had some insights into how to enslave demon beasts.

Therefore, the proficiency of the "Ten Thousand Beast Sutra," which is only at the second-level realm, grew so fast, which is a matter of course.

"Speaking of which, there is a famous Ten Thousand Beast Sect in this world. Although it is only a Nascent Soul sect, it is suspected that a Soul Transformation power once appeared in its ancestors. Unfortunately, this sect is not in the Eastern Wilderness, nor in the North Sea, but in the Southern Border, which everyone talks about."

Muttering a word, Luo Chen's gaze continued to move.

The renamed Innate One Qi Great Handprint had already reached Great Perfection ten years ago.

The self-created defensive spell, Blazing Heaven Seven-Fold Ring, because it was self-created, progressed rapidly and had reached the Master level.

The Cloud-Exploring Divine Claw, cultivated for many years, was Great Perfection, and the Blazing Fire Miasma was Great Perfection.

The self-created Exploding Sky Step also progressed rapidly, reaching the perfect level, only one step away from Great Perfection.

These were all gratifying changes in Luo Chen's combat power.

This also meant that his hardware had been absolutely improved.

Besides that, it was the "software."

Currently, Luo Chen concurrently holds three skills, which can naturally be seen as three professions.

The one with the highest achievement is the Alchemist profession.

It has reached the Fourth Realm level!

Various alchemy techniques are at his fingertips, whether it is knowledge or practical operation, they can be called excellent.

Calling him a contemporary alchemy master, or even a grandmaster, is not an exaggeration at all!

The Third Realm True Flame Pill he personally refined reached the Great Perfection level, adding bricks and tiles to his cultivation.

The First Realm Water-Condensing Pill from the Flying Swallow Archipelago made Luo Chen have a personal experience of the alchemy techniques of the North Sea cultivation world after refining it himself.

He refined it to Great Perfection in one breath, and at the same time integrated the North Sea alchemy style into his own alchemy system.

In the future, if he can learn more about high-level alchemy techniques in the North Sea, perhaps it can take Luo Chen's alchemy to the next level.

Third Realm Physician?

Luo Chen shook his head, perhaps this path ends here.

After only cultivating the fire system, he lacked the other four elements of the Five Elements mana. Even if he could temporarily transform, it was quite inconvenient in actual application.

And medical skills often involve all aspects.

What is needed is comprehensiveness, not specialization.

If it were a cultivator who mainly cultivates the water system or wood system, it would be fine, as the inclusiveness is relatively strong.

But the fire system is domineering, making it difficult for him to concurrently cultivate medical skills of other attributes.

The path of a physician can be seen at a glance, but the formation master side is advancing by leaps and bounds!

After Min Longyu and Fu Fu Jiusheng laid a good foundation for Luo Chen.

Now he has received personal guidance from Han Zhan, a Fourth Realm formation master.

Luo Chen's learning of basic formations of various systems is progressing rapidly!

The basic formations of the Five Elements are perfect, and the spirit-gathering and Qi-gathering formations are also perfect.

He is also proficient in most of the Second Realm formations.

Especially his favorite Nine-Turn Flame Dragon Great Formation, which reached the Master level after day-after-day copying.

If there are enough materials to deploy it, he believes that the power might be three points more powerful than the Nine-Turn Flame Dragon Great Formation deployed by Min Longyu back then!

Now he has obtained a Third Realm formation disk.

For Luo Chen, it is truly like meeting a pillow when sleepy, and he can deploy what he has learned over the years one by one.

But that formation disk is mainly a water system formation, and it still needs to be adjusted and changed.

In this regard, Luo Chen has already entrusted Han Zhan to help adjust the formation disk, and after a period of time, there may be results.

After a count, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel proud.

Finally, his gaze fell on the achievement point column.

The highest value ever!

Twelve years ago, it had barely broken a hundred.

And in a mere twelve years, it soared by fifty achievement points.

"Sure enough, cultivators closing doors for quiet cultivation is always the best way of cultivation that surpasses fighting."

"If it were the me who was rushing around before, let alone twelve years, even if another ten or twenty years came, I wouldn't be able to brush up so many achievement points."

The dazzling numbers made Luo Chen feel proud and full of security.

Even, there is some expectation.

"For the pill formula of the Nascent Soul Pill, I only have the list of medicinal materials, but not the corresponding ratio, as well as the refining method, details, taboos, etc."

"If I want to deduce the real pill formula in the future, I will inevitably spend a huge amount of achievement points."

"Crossing a big realm, the required achievement points will be a lot, but no matter how much, it won't exceed one hundred points. My one hundred and fifty-one points should be enough!"

Muttering to himself, Luo Chen was more confident in his future cultivation path.

The path of cultivation is full of difficulties and obstacles.

Even if you don't encounter strong enemies, there are limitations on the resources you need.

But under his efforts, those so-called limitations were solved one by one.

Cultivation methods, elixirs, spiritual lands, magic treasures...

"It's just that water comes to cover, soldiers come to block!"

Putting away the attribute panel, Luo Chen smiled freely, stood up, and left the seclusion cave.

"Is this the information sent back from Seeing Tianxuan?"

In the outer hall, Luo Chen held the wooden board handed over by Black King, which contained the information written by Seeing Tianxuan herself.

The handwriting was crooked, but it also faintly showed some delicacy.

Seeing Tianxuan is female!

Of course, this is not the point; the point is the information.

"Five royal Demon Crab clans, Flying Cloud Stream human cultivators, Ring-Necked Turtle clan... these forces gathered on Profound Rock Island, what are they doing?"

Muttering, Luo Chen faintly felt a pressure of a storm coming.

According to what is said above, these forces can be called to have come out in full force.

In the sea area near Profound Rock Island, there were several frictions and big fights.

Even the Flying Cloud Stream human cultivators were accidentally involved in it once, and even a Golden Core cultivator died!

If there was nothing to attract them, Luo Chen absolutely wouldn't believe it.

"Could it be a Fourth Realm spiritual vein place?" Black King said carefully.

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow!

He knew long ago that there was a Fourth Realm spiritual vein in the Profound Rock sea area.

It was right on Profound Rock Island.

Because of this spiritual vein place, it also attracted countless demon clans to occupy and inhabit it.

For this reason, when he chose his base, he deliberately stayed away from Profound Rock Island.

If it was said that they were fighting for the spiritual land, it was not impossible.

But!

What are human cultivators participating in it for?

Currently, the North Sea cultivation world has enough to protect itself, but cannot make progress.

Let alone opening up a war, just going out to sea to hunt demon beasts is full of dangers.

Flying Cloud Stream, with only seven Golden Core cultivators, getting involved in the struggle for spiritual land, are they crazy?

Luo Chen shook his head and ruled out this possibility.

Perhaps there is some precious treasure or opportunity inside, which is why the demon clans in the Profound Rock sea area are fighting!

Wait!

Luo Chen looked at the wooden board again, which wrote about the number of Third Realm Demon Kings who fell among the five royal Demon Crab clans.

The more he looked, the more his heart beat.

He was still worried about how to refine a large amount of Fourth Realm Black Emperor Paste.

If he could participate in it, fish in troubled waters, and get a few Third Realm Demon Crabs, wouldn't that naturally solve this problem?

Third Realm Demon Crabs are huge, and the Black Emperor Paste refined from them can be worth a hundred times that of the Second Realm.

Get seven or eight, no, maybe five or six.

That would be enough for his Desolate Ancient late-stage cultivation needs!

Thinking of this, Luo Chen couldn't help it.

"This job, we must do!"
