Chapter 557: Writing books and establishing theories, sudden enlightenment in the empty valley

Long Life Starts from Alchemy Grandmaster, Main Text Volume, Chapter 570, Writing Books and Establishing Theories, Sudden Enlightenment in the Empty Valley, Cold Light Island.

As a super large island that is second to none in the southeast of the Northern Sea, its land area is extremely vast, almost as vast as two Yuding Regions.

There are countless minerals, spiritual plants, lakes, and high mountains on it, which is like an inland scene.

Such rich resources, combined with many spiritual veins of various sizes, have attracted many forces to multiply and live here.

However, among these forces, Feileng City is the most famous and the strongest!

No other reason!

Because Feileng City has a city lord at the Nascent Soul stage—True Person Feileng.

It is rumored that this woman once had an old relationship with a Nascent Soul True Person of the Yuanmo Sect, and it was also relying on the other party that she could dominate Feileng City, which possesses a fourth-stage spiritual vein.

After obtaining this city, what this woman did was very different from ordinary cultivators.

She did not establish a sect, nor did she branch out to establish a family.

She only cultivated in the blessed land of the cave with the fourth-stage spiritual vein in the city as a rogue cultivator.

Such indifference and lack of contention also left the excellent resources of Feileng City idle.

Therefore, the forces of various sizes in other parts of Cold Light Island, after obtaining the other party's consent, began to gradually enter Feileng City and do various businesses.

Every year, they only need to contribute a certain amount of income to True Person Feileng to get the other party's protection.

The entire Cold Light Island, under this model, has gradually formed a strange situation of mixed fish and dragons but with a leader.

After entering the city.

Luo Chen walked on the wide street, thinking in his heart.

That True Person Feileng, seemingly indifferent and seeking nothing, actually didn't miss any profit that should be earned.

Instead, through this method, she also saved a lot of time for managing the sect and family burdens, which she used to focus on cultivation.

This model has feasibility, can I borrow it?

However, if you want to borrow this model, you must possess absolute strength to suppress one side and protect one side.

Just like what he did in the Feiyan Archipelago!

But obviously, his current self, except for possessing absolute strength in some remote places with no resources, cannot achieve that kind of absolute suppression when arriving in places rich in resources.

Instead, because the realm is not high, even if he grabs a piece of territory, he will attract covetousness from all sides.

By then, it will be another storm.

Therefore, it is better to find a force to rely on, after all, it is better to enjoy the shade under a big tree!

Suddenly.

Luo Chen stopped his pace.

Turning around, he looked calmly at a young man who stopped his pace hurriedly.

The other party was dressed in hemp clothes, with a seemingly kind smile on his face, but in fact, there was a bit of cunning.

Seeing that Luo Chen discovered him, the man hurriedly cupped his hands: "Liu Zhenwei here, greetings."

"Speak." Luo Chen said coldly.

Liu Zhenwei went straight to the point, reported his family name, and didn't care about Luo Chen's cold attitude, immediately continuing: "Fellow Daoist, you look like an outsider cultivator who just arrived in Feileng City and may not know much about this city. I have lived here for a hundred years and am very familiar with every street and corner. Fellow Daoist only needs to pay a small amount of spirit stones, and I am willing to be your guide, allowing you to be like a fish in water at the trading fair for the next month."

Luo Chen listened to the other party's introduction and shook his head.

"No need."

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Liu Zhenwei was stunned; it was the first time he had seen an outsider cultivator who refused so directly, without even asking about the price.

It's just that the fat sheep he had finally targeted could not be allowed to run away so easily.

He hurriedly followed: "Fellow Daoist, believe me, without guidance, whether you are selling goods or seeking resources, it is very easy to suffer losses."

"Often a resource, selling for a thousand spirit stones in the south of the city, might only sell for five hundred in the north."

"And take the cave dwelling rental, there are three major Core Formation families doing this business together. Although the pricing is unified, there is a difference in the spiritual energy concentration of the cave dwellings. If you ask me for help, I will definitely help you choose the cave dwelling with the highest cost-performance ratio."

While walking and talking, until Liu Zhenwei's lips were almost broken, the red-faced young man remained unmoved.

Liu Zhenwei's face looked bad, and he suddenly jumped in front of Luo Chen.

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know that Feileng City does not forbid fighting!"

Luo Chen looked coldly, and spat out two words in his mouth.

"Move aside!"

Liu Zhenwei subconsciously wanted to scold, but after touching the other party's eyes, he felt a fear in his heart.

In a trance, when he woke up, he found that the red-faced man's figure had disappeared into the bustling crowd.

At this time, three people followed from behind.

"Brother Liu, why didn't you keep that man and woman?"

"Is it because your asking price was too high and he didn't agree? If you ask me, you could have lowered it a bit; anyway, after tricking people, we pick a quiet place and do him in."

"The price definitely can't be too low, otherwise the other party will definitely be suspicious. Specifically what happened, let's listen to Brother Liu."

Facing the inquiries of the three, Liu Zhenwei opened his mouth, his face flushed.

Finally, he squeezed out a sentence, "I don't know either!"

Yes, how could he know the mystery of Luo Chen's illusion technique.

Mirror Flower Water Moon, after reaching perfection, was rooted in the eyes, and even if the main cultivation technique changed, it could be activated normally.

Facing those with a lower realm than himself, this technique could be called invincible.

Even if it was a powerhouse of the same stage, Luo Chen had the confidence to make the other party fall into the trick unknowingly.

It was only when fighting across levels that Luo Chen was worried about backlash, so he basically didn't use it much.

This Liu Zhenwei was only in the early Foundation Establishment stage, and under Luo Chen's glance, he could only obediently move aside.

On a slightly quiet street, Luo Chen pouted.

It is said that Feileng City is chaotic, and it is true!

Just from the matter of the city entry guides everywhere, one can see the leopard.

With his spiritual sense, how could he not detect the conspiracy of Liu Zhenwei and others.

"However, Feileng City does not forbid private fighting, this point is quite troublesome, not very suitable for living."

Luo Chen muttered, and his footsteps stopped in front of a slightly quiet shop.

Looking up, there were several pale gold characters on the signboard.

"Feileng Cave Dwelling Management Office"

Regarding Feileng City, Luo Chen was not ignorant.

Whether it was the "Feileng City Chronicle" he read in previous years, or the large amount of information collected by the Feiyan merchant fleet for him, he could move freely without the guidance of a guide.

Just like this management office, it is one of the three major forces managing cave dwelling rentals in Feileng City.

The price might be on the high side, but the reputation is also the best.

Here, Luo Chen might be able to choose a satisfactory cave dwelling.

Without too much hesitation, Luo Chen took Tianxuan and stepped into it.

Half an hour later.

An old man with white hair and beard, trembling, led a man and a woman into a remote valley.

Although the valley is remote, it is not desolate.

There are many beautiful and strange flowers and plants planted inside, especially orchids.

The old man introduced while walking: "Feileng City has a fourth-stage spiritual vein, but the place where spiritual energy gathers is quite scattered, and it is also very troublesome to manage. Therefore, the True Person divided the management rights to our Zhou, Wu, and Qian families."

"This Jia-9 cave dwelling is located in the north of the city, far from the trading fair square. However, although the place is remote, the spiritual energy concentration is at the third-stage level. It is just right for this fellow Daoist to use."

When saying this, his gaze crossed Luo Chen and fell on Tianxuan.

In order to rent a suitable third-stage cave dwelling, it is necessary to reveal the Core Formation cultivation.

However, Luo Chen let Tianxuan reveal it, shielding his own realm.

In this way, he could temporarily cover up his whereabouts.

Of course, Tianxuan was still exploring these things, so Luo Chen had to come forward to negotiate the price.

He looked around and revealed a look of satisfaction.

Although the terrain is remote, it is quiet, and especially the spiritual energy concentration is guaranteed.

As long as security work is done well, everything will be fine.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, what about the price?"

The old cultivator surnamed Zhou stroked his beard and said sternly: "Because you are renting for a short term, the price is on the high side. And the trading fair is about to be held recently, and there are many high-level cultivators coming to Feileng City, so we have also made an upward adjustment to the price."

"One month, 150,000 low-grade spirit stones, go to the management office to renew at the end of the month."

"If you want to change to a long-term rental, it will be at least ten years, and the price can be discounted to 120,000 per month."

Collecting 150,000 in one month!

Good heavens, this business is too easy to do.

Luo Chen was a little jealous.

No wonder those high-realm cultivators like to dominate one region, even if they don't establish a sect, they must ensure the ownership of one region.

Not to mention anything else, just collecting rent, I don't know how much money I will earn.

Besides being jealous, Luo Chen still decided to rent this place.

Not to mention anything else, both Tianxuan and himself really need a cave dwelling with third-stage spiritual energy concentration for cultivation.

The improvement of the realm is the water-grinding effort accumulated over time.

Now, it's just exchanging spirit stones for time.

Worth it.

After Luo Chen delivered the spirit stones, the old cultivator gave another jade pendant and handed it to Tianxuan.

"This is?" Tianxuan asked.

The old cultivator smiled, "Whenever a strange Core Formation cultivator comes to Feileng City, there will be such a jade pendant. We three families will leave messages on it and hold some exchange meetings for high-level cultivators regularly. Whether it is exchanging cultivation insights or exchanging things, I believe the fellow Daoist will have gains. Of course, whether to go or not is up to you."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Tianxuan held the jade pendant and looked at Luo Chen.

"Keep it for now, you can go and see later."

After speaking, Luo Chen began to arrange in the valley.

Bury the God-Sealing Compass and activate the Lanyun Dense Mist Array.

After extracting the spiritual energy of the earth vein.

Layers of rain clouds flew into the sky, and strands of mist spread in all directions, covering the entire valley.

In this way, with the protection of the array, it not only possesses a certain defensive power but also can cover the spiritual sense and avoid the prying of strong people from the outside world.

Especially, under the host of Han Zhan, this array can even shield the spiritual sense prying of Nascent Soul powerhouses!

"Sorry for the trouble, senior."

"No problem, after all, helping you is helping me." Han Zhan adjusted the array and said casually.

Luo Chen entered the wooden house in the valley, and on the gathering spirit array arranged by the Zhou family, he also arranged his own gathering spirit array.

The spiritual energy concentration increased by 30% visibly.

I don't know if the spiritual veins in other places will be reduced if he increases it here.

Luo Chen chuckled and began to take out various things from the storage ring.

Looking at it, it was various crab pincers, crab legs, and round and jade-like demon pills.

In those few years in the Xuanyan sea area, Luo Chen, Black King, and Tianxuan worked together to capture many demon crabs, totaling thousands!

So many demon crabs, 99% were second-stage.

Among them, the carapace was refined into Black Emperor Paste by Luo Chen to refine his body.

All the flesh and blood were either eaten by him as blood food or rewarded to Black King.

Therefore, what was left in the end was basically the things that Black King was not easy to digest at the beginning.

These resources are of no use to Luo Chen, but they are not useless things in themselves.

The Northern Sea is rich in resources and has many demonic beasts, so alchemists like to use demon pills to enter medicine, and thousands of second-stage demon pills are worth a lot.

Those hard crab legs and crab pincers can also be used to make various magic tools.

Selling this batch of resources, according to Luo Chen's previous estimation, can also bring back millions of spirit stones!

Not only that.

Next, Luo Chen took out a batch of similar materials from the storage ring.

Although similar, the size is obviously larger, the material is harder, and especially the demonic Qi left on it is extremely rich.

Obviously, this is the demon king-level demon crab material collected by Luo Chen in the last year.

After refining the fourth-stage Black Emperor Paste, they were all left behind.

"Selling this batch of materials can change the embarrassing environment and make the hands more relaxed."

Luo Chen's family background was very rich before.

Relying on alchemy, Luotian Sect's income, and the spoils of several battles, his family background once exceeded ten million.

Not to mention the Foundation Establishment stage, even among Core Formation cultivators, he was a wealthy person.

But with Core Formation, participating in the opening war, the plan to move the mountain, and daily cultivation, he almost tossed his family background to nothing.

He was shy of money, and after arriving at the Feiyan Archipelago, he wantonly sucked blood from those low-stage cultivator families.

Speaking of which, it is a bit immoral.

"Dealing with this batch of materials, the spirit stones earned should be able to make me gain a lot in this trading fair."

After counting, Luo Chen packed the materials of various grades into storage bags by category.

Then, he handed those storage bags to Tianxuan.

"You still remember the shops I told you on the way, right?"

"Master, I remember them all."

"This batch of materials is a bit large, one shop may not be able to eat it. You run a few more shops, sell the goods separately, it doesn't matter if the price is lower, strive to exchange for spirit stones early."

Luo Chen instructed carefully.

Lasting for more than half a year, under Luo Chen's guidance, Tianxuan has already entered the door of cultivating the improved "Qi-concealing Spirit Technique."

Coupled with the concealment array engraved by Luo Chen, and some small means of Han Zhan.

It can be said that as long as it is not a Nascent Soul True Person, ordinary existence cannot see through the other party's body.

In this way, Tianxuan can run outside and do some trivial things for Luo Chen.

And Luo Chen next plans to perfect the demon cultivation technique he created himself, and at the same time use this as a contrast to complete his own cultivation method.

The next day, Tianxuan took the demon crab material and went out to trade.

Feileng City actually only held a high-standard auction this time, and the so-called trading conference was organized by people below in response to the time.

It might be a grand event for ordinary low-stage cultivators, but Luo Chen didn't take it seriously and didn't intend to participate in it.

However, this kind of trading fair gave Tianxuan a good opportunity to sell goods.

After Tianxuan left, Luo Chen took out a pile of white jade with good texture from the storage ring and sat down with concentration.

After calming his mind for a while, he began to mobilize his magic power, using his fingers as a pen, and wrote slowly on the white jade.

The first sentence of the pen, first write its name.

Since it was tailor-made for Tianxuan and combined with many cultivation techniques such as "Feathering True Scripture" and "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture," that name came easily.

"Huan Yu Secret Canon"

After starting, it was easier to handle later.

Luo Chen, who had already had a plan in his heart, wrote as if he had divine help, word by word, telling the story.

Compared with the roughness of the first version, this refined version was more detailed, and some details were gradually completed under his careful consideration.

Taking the meaning of body refining from "Ten Thousand Daos Merging," using the spell "Ninety Thousand Miles" to make up for the flight speed, and the essence of "Micro-Dust Origin Art" to purify magic power were also integrated into it...

Drop by drop, bit by bit... gradually "Huan Yu Secret Canon" became more and more perfect, and even had the meaning of encompassing everything.

In this process, Luo Chen was also constantly using this to contrast the two major Qi Refining and body refining cultivation techniques he practiced.

The essence of the power of this world is unchanged, and they are all based on the so-called "heaven and earth spiritual energy" as the source of energy.

What changes is the direction of cultivation and the means of output.

In this way, the restrictions on himself before meant that they could be interconnected and converted into each other.

Being stuck in form is falling into the lower class.

Chasing the essence is the right path.

Unknowingly, through a writing and establishing theory, Luo Chen began to summarize and perfect all he had learned, removing the dross and keeping the essence, illuminating the grand avenue ahead.

In the wooden house in the valley with rich spiritual energy, the brand-new white-robed red-faced man sat quietly there, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing, and an inexplicable charm surrounded him.

The white banner in the corner of the room had shadows changing, finally revealing Han Zhan's old face.

Looking at this scene, his heart could not be calm for a long time.

"Sudden enlightenment..."

The secluded sigh, unheard by anyone, but the amazement and praise in it were undisguised.

Han Zhan, who was a Nascent Soul True Person at his peak, naturally knew what this scene meant.

Luo Chen, under that huge accumulation and countless cultivation practices, finally changed from quantitative to qualitative, entering a state of sudden enlightenment when creating his own technique.

This state can be called an opportunity.

Cannot be met, cannot be sought.

Ordinary people can hardly encounter it once in a lifetime.

Even a Nascent Soul True Person would desperately want to enter this state to perceive the laws of heaven and earth.

Unexpectedly, Luo Chen would encounter it at the Core Formation stage.

It is a bit wasteful.

But if Luo Chen can gain something in it, either his strength will skyrocket, or his future cultivation path will no longer be bumpy and will be completely smooth.

No matter which one it is, it is a huge good thing.

Han Zhan sighed and jumped out of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Coming to the center of the valley, he shook out a streak of magic power, and the clouds and mist permeating the surroundings became even thicker, and even dew soaked through.

The Lanyun Dense Mist Array has been opened to the limit! ===== CHAPTER 558 =====
