Chapter 72: Bell and Tripod Banquet, Core Formation Arrival

"Yes, restore it according to the original blueprint."

"It's very simple; just replace the main beam and find a few stones outside the city to repair and patch it up."

"Need green fire bricks? Wait, Xianzhuju sells them; they will send someone over when the time comes."

He hired three little brothers from the Poshan Gang, one spirit stone each to help repair the house.

Luo Chen also sent some of his family fortune to Qin Liangchen's house for safekeeping.

Temporarily, it was considered dealt with.

In a flash, the sky gradually darkened.

Luo Chen washed up and accompanied Qin Liangchen to the Bell and Tripod family for the banquet.

On the way, Qin Liangchen said casually: "Among fire-type spells, there is a second-rank spell called Scorching Sun Technique, which, when unleashed, is like the explosion of a small sun, with great power, and within twenty zhang, not a blade of grass will grow."

Within twenty zhang!

That would be more than half a football field!

"What are you saying, Brother Qin!"

"I'm only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining; I don't know any second-rank Scorching Sun Technique!"

Luo Chen waved his hands frantically.

In his heart, he had a bit of a clue.

The power of fusing twenty fireballs obviously couldn't reach the power of a second-rank Scorching Sun Technique.

But in that situation, it undoubtedly had the prototype of the Scorching Sun Technique.

But what if he fused ten, twenty, or even thirty, fifty more?

However, in that case, the consumption of spiritual power would undoubtedly be very large.

"Let's use it as a trump card for now; I must practice it well when I have time in the future."

Although his heart ached for the loss of nearly ten spirit stones today, Luo Chen was still very happy.

Outside of his conventional means, he had gained another trump card.

When they arrived at the third floor of the Bell and Tripod family, not many people had arrived yet, only a few small fry.

Qin Liangchen went to chat with those people, and no one bothered Luo Chen, so he was happy to be idle.

Finding a quiet private room, Luo Chen kept half his mind alert to the outside and half his mind on the attribute panel.

Before, he hadn't finished browsing it.

In terms of realm, the progress wasn't fast or slow.

The grandmaster-level Carefree Technique not only greatly increased his cultivation efficiency but also brought with it the opening of the twelve regular meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians, so that he could refine two Nourishing Qi Elixirs a day.

But because he had advanced to the fifth level of Qi Refining, the calculation of the cultivation progress bar had new changes.

From the third level of Qi Refining, one Nourishing Qi Elixir added two points of progress.

To the fourth level of Qi Refining, one Nourishing Qi Elixir added one point of progress.

To the current fifth level of Qi Refining, it took two Nourishing Qi Elixirs to add one point of progress.

So in half a month, with two Nourishing Qi Elixirs every day, the progress bar had only managed to reach 16 points.

To this, Luo Chen had expected it.

After all, every time a realm was improved, it represented an increase in the upper limit of spiritual power in the body.

This was a normal phenomenon.

Why does the time for cultivators to break through become longer and longer as they reach higher levels?

The main problem lies here.

The total amount of spiritual power required to fill a realm only becomes more and more, and it's not even a multiple change.

The original late-stage Qi Refining cultivators in Dahe Square numbered in the hundreds.

But those at the perfection of Qi Refining could be counted on one's fingers.

The deceased Han Dang, the Heart-Devouring Tiger, was one, and Fu Xiuxiu, who had failed to impact Foundation Establishment, was one.

Others were few and far between.

The ones Luo Chen was familiar with, like Qin Liangchen and Murong Qinglian, couldn't be considered at the perfection of Qi Refining.

Others like Luo Wudi and Ke Yulin were even further away.

The only thing that worried Luo Chen was whether Nourishing Qi Elixirs would still be effective for him after reaching the late stage of Qi Refining.

After all, elixirs have drug resistance.

"For now, let's not worry about this."

Luo Chen didn't worry about the future and stared at the spell column.

His gaze fell directly on the last column: 【Achievement Points: 21】

He didn't expect that after the Fireball Technique reached Great Perfection, it would give him another achievement point.

If calculated this way, then if he upgraded a skill to Great Perfection, he could obtain five achievement points.

Namely, Proficiency level, Proficient level, Perfect level, Grandmaster level, Great Perfection.

In the past half-month, his harvest had been enormous.

Wind-Control Technique Grandmaster, Traction Technique Grandmaster, Entanglement Technique, Spirit Eye Technique, and even the rarely used Cleaning Technique, all were upgraded one after another.

For this, it brought him a total of seven achievement points.

"21 achievement points, what should I use them for?"

"Enter the Healing Technique? Forget it, I can enter it directly after practicing for two more days."

"On hand, there are no other cultivation techniques."

"Moreover, compared to cultivation techniques, using achievement points to enter a certain elixir recipe is the most cost-effective. That way, it can save countless failures before entering."

Countless failures, what does that represent?

Countless spirit stones!

The only elixir recipe Luo Chen had left on hand was a remnant second-rank elixir recipe, Jade Yu Yu Ludan.

Obviously, it wasn't suitable for refining Jade Dew Pills now.

He didn't have the financial resources, nor the strength, and even if he refined it, he wouldn't dare to sell it.

"So, I have to find a way to get a first-rank elixir recipe. And it has to be one with broad market prospects and few competitors."

"I wonder if the Poshan Gang has any? In the Medicine Hall, are there any?"

Luo Chen pondered, looked up, and found that the sky outside had darkened completely.

And outside the small private room, bursts of noise came.

He calmed his mood and walked out quietly.

One glance, just one glance!

He held his breath.

One, two, three, four, five, six...

A full thirteen Foundation Establishment cultivators!

My God, when did such a small Dahe Square have so many Foundation Establishment cultivators!

But unexpectedly, except for a small half, he recognized the others slightly.

Chatting with Shopkeeper Liu of the Hundred Herbs Hall was Shopkeeper Wang of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion.

Daoist Mu, the master of the Spirit Source Studio, was surrounded by three Foundation Establishment cultivators he didn't recognize, seemingly exchanging insights on spells.

Hearing Mi Shuhua of the Poshan Gang was chatting and laughing with Wang Haichao of the Dajiang Gang and another man.

It seemed one couldn't see any signs that they had been fighting to the death not long ago.

If there were no accidents, that gloomy-faced man was Zhou Chaoxian, the person in charge here for the Lianyun Merchant Alliance!

It was said that he also held the position of Elder within the Merchant Alliance.

And there was that profiteer, Old Chu, from the Ten Thousand Treasures Building; he was whispering to a gorgeously dressed man.

However, the man was obviously impatient, his eyes constantly looking at the place where the female cultivators gathered.

But he didn't dare to offend the Ten Thousand Treasures Building, so he could only accompany the chat carefully.

Luo Chen looked at the place where the female cultivators gathered, and coincidentally, he saw a group of acquaintances.

The bright and generous Gu Caiyi, the stunningly beautiful Miss Xiangxiang, and the gentle and lovely Fu Xiuxiu.

It was just that no matter how beautiful they were, the center of the gathering was still the beautiful woman in palace attire.

"She should be the procuress of the Long Long Tianxiang Building, bah, Gong Huiqin, a cultivator of the Hehuan Sect. Looking so beautiful, I don't know how old she really is; this can also be considered a high-level rich woman!"

It seemed that she was particularly sensitive to men's gazes.

That beautiful woman saw Luo Chen almost instantly.

Luo Chen lowered his head and huddled next to Qin Liangchen, who was standing in the corner.

"Big brother, here are all big shots, what are we here for?"

The transmission was cautious; Luo Chen felt like a grandson.

Qin Liangchen chuckled: "What for? To be a grandson!"

Luo Chen was stunned; so I really am a grandson!

"Big shots going out always have to bring two little brothers." Qin Liangchen patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be discouraged, maybe we can be grandfathers too in the future."

That really is "Are kings and nobles born with high status?"

Luo Chen rolled his eyes, saying such things, not afraid of being heard by Foundation Establishment cultivators.

It was said that the art of voice transmission wasn't very stable either.

Coincidentally, standing in front of them were three Foundation Establishment cultivators: Hearing Mi Shuhua, Wang Haichao, and Zhou Chaoxian.

The last one turned his head suddenly, staring at Qin Liangchen with burning eyes.

"You are that little guy who killed Bai Qi on the Dao Discussion Platform!"

Qin Liangchen's expression became nervous instantly, and his gaze looked toward Hearing Mi Shuhua for help.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you..." Hearing Mi Shuhua was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhou Chaoxian raising his hand.

Zhou Chaoxian smiled slightly: "It's nothing, just getting to know each other. This little fellow Daoist Qin has a son who is a high disciple of the Luoyun Sect; how could I do anything to him? On the contrary, Fellow Daoist Mi, I heard you are keeping that Foundation Establishment Pill for him; don't secretly swallow it later!"

Hearing Mi Shuhua's face stiffened, and then gradually darkened.

Just as the atmosphere here was slightly oppressive, bursts of sharp intent came from the entrance.

The next moment, seven Foundation Establishment cultivators ascended the building together.

Yuding sword cultivators.

The seven ascended the building without hesitation, bowing and shouting to the outside together.

"Respectfully invite Elder Pang!"

Everyone was stunned, and then they all hurriedly bent down, respectfully shouting: "Respectfully invite Elder Pang!"

Under the night sky, a golden light, without the slightest fancy, escaped into the third floor of the Bell and Tripod family.

It was none other than the Core Formation True Person, Pang Renxiong.

Luo Chen lowered his head deeply, not daring to look around even with his peripheral vision.

Under that golden pressure that wasn't covered in the slightest, his teeth, bones, and even his soul seemed to be trembling.

"Is this the power of Core Formation?"

Deep in his heart, a surging thought was rushing.

"A great man should be like this!" ===== CHAPTER 73 =====
