Chapter 71: Buying a House? Buying a House in This Life Is Impossible

Half a month had passed since the opening ceremony of the Dao Discussion Platform.

During this half-month, Luo Chen had done the opposite of his usual self and stopped refining elixirs.

There were many reasons for this; he needed to familiarize himself with the people and affairs of the Poshan Gang.

He wasn't exactly short of spirit stones on hand; he originally had one hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones, and after reselling tickets, he collected another two hundred.

He had bought five bottles of Nourishing Qi Elixirs before, enough for his cultivation for a month.

But these were not the most important factors.

The most important reason was that watching one battle after another, especially the life-and-death battle of eighteen Qi Refining cultivators, had given him a lot of harvest.

Being in the same great realm, although because the level wasn't high enough, it only affected the size of the total spiritual power in the body.

The means of those late-stage cultivators, in the end, didn't exceed the scope of what he could understand.

After watching the battles, he had many insights into spells, magic tools, and even the conversion between offense and defense.

This kind of insight couldn't be counted as the legendary "epiphany," but it was particularly precious.

Therefore, he had to seize the time to absorb and digest it, transforming it into his own true combat power.

After all, there was still a Gao Tingyuan outside, eyeing him covetously.

In the short term, the realm couldn't be improved.

Then he would improve his strength from combat means.

Moreover, he had this logistical condition.

The grandmaster-level Li Li Xiaoyao Technique had an automatic spiritual power recovery effect, enough for him to release enough spells.

Over the past half-month, he had sparred with Qin Liangchen every day.

While helping the other party find the feeling and adapt to the arm, his own spell proficiency was also rising steadily.

Now, it was time for the harvest.

【Lifespan: 27/75】

【Spirit Root: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth】

【Realm: Fifth Level of Qi Refining: 16/100】

【Technique: Li Li Xiaoyao Technique Perfect: 560/1000】

【Skills: First-rank Alchemist: Grain-Avoiding Powder Grandmaster 840/1000, Crowd-Wonder Pill Perfect 301/500】

【Achievement Points: 21 points】

After reading the current attribute panel, Luo Chen was extremely excited.

He finally had a spell that had reached the full-level proficiency.

Great Perfection Fireball Technique!

Luo Chen moved his heart, and a fireball appeared in his palm.

The size of a fist, containing high temperature, if it exploded, it also had considerable impact.

His brows furrowed slightly; the single Fireball Technique didn't seem to have any changes?

With a slight spit of spiritual power, the fireball suddenly changed, turning into a small bird, like a sparrow, or perhaps a phoenix, vivid and lively.

If there were a cultivator with broad knowledge here, they would surely be slightly amazed.

This kind of subtle technique of morphological change was something only disciples of the Five Elements Divine Sect could do.

And it couldn't be an ordinary disciple; at the very least, they had to be inner disciples who had entered the inner sect and had hopes of Foundation Establishment.

However, to this, Luo Chen was still a bit dissatisfied.

Because this means wasn't brought by the Great Perfection Fireball Technique.

This was something he had researched after half a month of sparring with Qin Liangchen, with the other party's guidance and his own pondering.

It integrated some of the wonders of the Traction Technique.

But in its essence, whether it was speed or power, there wasn't much change.

It just allowed him to reach a higher level of control over spiritual power.

Oh, by the way, it also allowed the Traction Technique to reach perfect-level proficiency.

But this wasn't what Luo Chen wanted to see either.

"Then, where exactly is the change?"

Luo Chen pondered bitterly, his spiritual power continuously increasing, and one small fireball after another appeared.

Soon, the number reached ten.

In the past, this was his limit, and he could also use ten small fireballs to construct his small killing move, "Flying Fire Streamer."

Suddenly, Luo Chen had a feeling.

His limit seemed to have been broken.

With a thought, another small fireball appeared slowly.

Luo Chen raised his brows, increased his spiritual power output, the twelfth!

Come again!

Thirteen! Fourteen... Twenty!

The man sat cross-legged on the bed, twenty small fireballs circling and dancing, killing intent overflowing between their liveliness.

Luo Chen's heart was shocked, not just because of this number, but because he felt he could continue to increase the number.

According to the total amount of spiritual power in his body, this Fireball Technique could currently release nearly a hundred fireballs.

Although none of them were big fireballs in the limit state.

But it was already very scary.

What concept was this?

The first-rank top-grade talisman, Meteor Fire Rain, only contained a hundred Fireball Techniques.

And top-grade talismans usually corresponded to the attack means of late-stage Qi Refining.

"It seems, the change doesn't stop there?"

Luo Chen hesitated and slowly brought two fireballs close together.

Sss...

Sparks splashed, and the two merged together without any repulsion.

The body size also doubled.

"It can merge more than two!"

Luo Chen was usually timid, mainly in terms of fighting, which was why he had agreed to spar with Qin Liangchen recently, to adapt to fighting.

Instead of being like the previous two times he killed and seized treasures, which were biased toward passive counter-attacks.

But Luo Chen was also a bold person.

This was reflected in alchemy and spells, things that didn't require fighting with others.

He dared to risk his family fortune to refine Crowd-Wonder Pills, and he dared to practice Spirit Eye Technique, which was slightly dangerous, without anyone teaching him.

At this moment, facing another change in the Fireball Technique.

He cautiously and boldly began a journey of fusion.

After two, it was three, four, five...

Looking at the huge fireball like a small sun, Luo Chen opened his eyes wide.

The next moment, grandmaster-level Li Li Xiaoyao Travel and grandmaster-level Wind-Control Technique were activated by instinct.

Swish!

A figure darted out.

And behind him, the small sun presented an unstable state, then slowly expanded.

A round of scorching sun erupted suddenly!

Boom!

"Bastard Luo Chen, what are you doing..."

Qin Liangchen stared dumbfoundedly at the house that had collapsed on one side and was burning with raging flames.

"Brother Qin, if I say it was an accident while refining elixirs that blew up the house, do you believe it?"

Luo Chen appeared beside him at some point, saying innocently.

Qin Liangchen stared at him and spoke slowly.

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

Luo Chen chuckled and didn't explain further.

Suddenly, he remembered something and shouted.

"Save the fire!"

Part of his family fortune was still inside.

In the end, he didn't let outsiders save the fire.

Qin Liangchen possessed gold, earth, and water spiritual roots and was accustomed to using gold-type magic tools and spells to fight, but in fact, he also knew a few water-type spells.

A small Cloud and Rain Technique was cast, and a drizzling rain protected the collapsed room on one side.

When the fire gradually extinguished, Luo Chen rushed in.

After a while, he ran out holding a copper furnace.

"Fortunately, fortunately."

"The processed medicinal herbs were not burned, just a bit dirty; they can still be used after cleaning."

"Sister Xiuxiu's flowers and plants were also placed outside during the day, none of them were damaged."

"My most valued Purple Cloud Copper Furnace is also fine."

That small sun exploded in the bedroom.

The most severely damaged was naturally the bedroom.

However, inside the bedroom, there were only some beds, wooden tables, and a few pieces of clothing.

Not worth much money.

When he came out, he found an old man jumping and cursing.

"Fine, must fine!"

Qin Liangchen sighed: "Old Sun, it was just an accident while refining elixirs; there's no need to fine spirit stones, right!"

"What do you mean by an accident? These houses were specially built by our sect inviting cultivators from Ailao Mountain. They fit the Five Elements, obviously magnificent. Now that the house has collapsed, you have to pay for it no matter what." Sun Shou cursed, looking heartbroken.

Qin Liangchen apologized with a smile: "I will immediately let the little brothers in the gang come to repair the house; it will definitely be restored to its original state."

Sun Shou sneered: "Can the little brothers in your gang compare to the cultivators of Ailao Mountain?"

"Five! Five spirit stones!" Luo Chen gritted his teeth.

"Deal, give me the spirit stones!"

Sun Shou's sneer disappeared, becoming as gentle as a spring breeze.

Luo Chen took out five spirit stones with heartache; this old man's face changed faster than a dog's!

After getting the spirit stones, Sun Shou mentioned something before leaving.

"The rent for the next quarter is coming; remember to pay it to me when the time comes."

"Oh, and Little Qin, you guys also have to pay spirit stones. If you ask me, you might as well buy this west wing room; it's not expensive, only a few thousand spirit stones."

"Take care, old man!"

"Watch your step when you go out, old man, don't fall!"

Little Luo and Little Qin hurriedly sent the old man away.

Then, they looked dejectedly at the smoking collapsed room.

Qin Liangchen: "Buying a house? Buying a house in this life is impossible! If I buy one, I'll buy one near the Luoyun Sect, closer to my son."

Luo Chen: "My house, what a sin!" ===== CHAPTER 72 =====
