Chapter 732

"Dozens of years ago, the Five Elements Divine Sect accepted us and gave us a place to stay."

"But at that time, it was not as good as it appeared on the surface. There were demon disasters causing chaos outside, and disciples losing their faith inside... Although Lingjun's matter eventually proved his character over time, it did indeed bring a lot of negative influence at the time. Many disciples who were not firm enough in their commitment to the sect were lured away to other sects."

"Under internal and external troubles, we older generation powerhouses were all doing our best to improve our cultivation, so as to shelter the younger generation from the wind and rain."

"At that time, besides Fu Jiusheng, Chu Kui, and Wang Yuan who had Core Formation combat power, the only other newly promoted Core Formation cultivators were Xu Huanzhen and a guest elder who joined our Luo Tian Sect halfway."

"Hui Niang and I were both anxious to break through to the Core Formation stage, and at that time, the Divine Sect cultivators ordered us to go to the Three Paths River battlefield to recapture a strategic stronghold."

"Suddenly one day!"

"Hui Niang suffered a strange change; her magic power surged, her realm soared, she entered Core Formation in one step, and her realm even climbed crazily, unable to stop at all!"

"At that time, I still didn't know what had happened to her. I only knew that when the Three Paths River battlefield was in an emergency, even Wang Yuan was trapped in a bitter battle; it was she who suddenly arrived at the battlefield in person and brought us back alive."

"In that battle, Xu Huanzhen, who had finally condensed his Core, fell, the guest elder who joined temporarily defected, and Wang Yuan went into seclusion again after returning. The Luo Tian Sect was originally severely damaged, but Hui Niang shockingly displayed the powerful might of the late Core Formation stage in that battle, shocking the world!"

"It was precisely because of this strength as a guarantee that we were later able to quietly escape to the Fenghua Domain when the demon race attacked the Five Elements Domain and the Five Elements Divine Sect was unable to take care of itself."

Baili Qingchuan has mountains and water.

The mountain is Great Qingshan, and the water is Black Water River.

Along the banks of the Black Water River, Luo Chen climbed Great Qingshan step by step, with Gu Caiyi following by his side, telling him in detail about the past events.

He already knew about Qu Lingjun's matter.

But the matter of sect disciples losing their faith and even defecting was not entirely his fault.

The Luo Tian Sect at its peak, although it claimed to have clouds of cultivators and nearly ten thousand members, was ultimately just a small force established for less than a hundred years.

No foundation, no long-standing heritage, no deep cohesion.

Members come for profit, and disciples leave for profit.

Everyone flying away when disaster strikes is common sense.

On the contrary, in Luo Chen's view, being able to keep three hundred people in the end was already quite good!

Among these three hundred people, the vast majority were related to him, which meant that his hundred years of management was not a failure.

Even if he left, there were still people willing to stay because of him.

Of course, this could not be separated from the best efforts of Wang Yuan, Hui Niang, Caiyi, and others.

What made him feel a bit regretful was that Xu Huanzhen died.

That was a beast tamer whom Tantai Jin had specifically introduced to him back then.

When they first met, he was already at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, and later he gradually recognized the Luo Tian Sect, staying even after the cooperation period ended.

But he didn't expect that after finally cultivating to the dream-like Core Formation stage, he would die on the demon beast battlefield.

According to Gu Caiyi, Xu Huanzhen was attacking demon beasts with beast-taming methods on the battlefield, which attracted the attention of a powerful demon king and he was killed.

It was precisely success through beast-taming methods, and death through beast-taming methods.

When he heard that Hui Niang's magic power surged and her realm soared, Luo Chen's expression froze.

After asking Gu Caiyi about the specific time, it matched the time he was in the Fallen Demon Land.

"It really was the Luo Lingxi Gu!"

He sighed faintly in his heart.

Subsequently, he asked softly: "Even so, why is Hui Niang unwilling to see me? Is it because of her brother's matter?"

Gu Caiyi nodded, but then shook her head.

"There is that aspect, but the main factor lies in her appearance."

"Hmm?" Luo Chen frowned slightly.

Gu Caiyi sighed and spoke about the later situation.

Nothing comes without a price.

The surge in President Sima Hui Niang's realm also brought disaster.

That massive magic power did not match her own constitution and spiritual root attributes, and a very strong rejection reaction appeared from the beginning.

President Sima Hui Niang forcibly suppressed it!

But as time passed, the reaction became more intense, even reaching the point of day and night pain and incessant howling.

At that time, the Luo Tian Sect's physician diagnosed her, but was powerless.

It was Wang Yuan who took action, passing the "Ming Shen Po Sha" method to President Sima Hui Niang, allowing her to temper her will through pain, while also being able to endure a higher threshold of suffering.

President Sima Hui Niang endured it.

But the spontaneous changes in her body were not something she could suppress with her will.

"At that time, she became accustomed to covering her face with a black veil and not seeing outsiders."

"The last time I saw her was before the start of the Ten Decisions Battle; at that time, she no longer wore elegant palace attire, but a black dress, and even the skin on her forearms was covered tightly."

"I'm afraid..."

When she finished speaking, Gu Caiyi showed an expression of unbearable pity.

Even though she had always been at odds with President Sima Hui Niang, after many years of being together, there was always a sense of camaraderie.

Especially since they were both women, the importance placed on appearance was instinctive!

Otherwise, why would there be "useless" elixirs like the Face-Fixing Pill in the cultivation world?

Being able to make President Sima Hui Niang close herself off from people shows the extent to which that magic power had ravaged her body.

Unknowingly, the two of them had appeared outside a cave dwelling on Great Qingshan that had been opened for not many years.

Gu Caiyi chose to leave time for President Sima Hui Niang and left first.

Luo Chen looked around; there were no flowers or grass, only scorched trees.

This was an extremely rare sight in the beautiful and herb-filled Baili Qingchuan.

He did not hide his aura, and did not even soften his footsteps, walking towards that stone door just like that.

With his spiritual sense, he could naturally pass through the array restrictions and see the situation inside.

A woman walked to the door, feeling uneasy.

"Open the door!"

Luo Chen said as such.

The woman subconsciously raised her hand, but hesitated.

This was the first time in so many years that she had hesitated at Luo Chen's command.

"I have brought your brother back."

"From now on, the Luo Tian Sect will no longer be bullied by others."

"I, Luo Chen, am now at the Nascent Soul realm, enough to stand tall in the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world!"

After hearing these words, the woman's hand lowered instead.

It was as if she felt a sense of relief.

Luo Chen frowned, and suddenly said: "My wife has never used beauty to please others, so why suffer from self-pity because of appearance now? Could it be that you think your husband is a shallow person who judges people by their appearance and only looks at the skin?"

The woman in the cave was struck hard, subconsciously retreating a few steps.

In her eyes, a look of confusion was revealed.

Yes, from the beginning, President Sima Hui Niang was not known for her beauty; the reason she was able to walk step by step from a rogue cultivator to her current high position, and even gain the favor of the man outside the mansion, was never because of that face.

Now, feeling self-pity because her appearance was ruined is truly laughable.

It both denies her own efforts and needlessly underestimates her husband's breadth of mind.

Taking a deep breath, President Sima Hui Niang cast a spell, and the stone door that isolated the inside from the outside slowly rose amidst a rumbling sound.

That person she hadn't seen for a hundred years, from feet to body, then to mouth, nose, and eyes...

She slightly gathered her sleeves, bowed gracefully, and her autumn-water eyes were filled with joy.

"Your concubine welcomes the return of my husband!"

"Back when the Luo Lingxi Gu mutated, I thought you, you..."

"It was just a small mishap; your husband is blessed with great fortune, how could I easily fall? It is you, knowing the Luo Lingxi Gu was destroyed, yet still having such confidence in me and telling them that I was still alive."

"Wanting to guard the things you left behind, I naturally had to stabilize the morale of the army. But sometimes, after telling too many lies, I felt ashamed to face those who risked their lives for the sect, which is why I gradually stopped going out."

"Wife, you are quite scheming!"

"Isn't this what I learned from you? Still being so mean."

After meeting again, there was warmth and gentle conversation about the past.

However, President Sima Hui Niang's smile was still a bit forced.

She looked at Luo Chen, who was sitting opposite her with his eyes closed, and said with trembling lips: "Can it be solved?"

Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a face that was beyond recognition.

The woman's wrist he held had uneven blisters that looked like burns.

And under those clothes, it was even more riddled with holes, which was shocking.

Luo Chen was thoughtful.

It really was caused by his own magic power!

When he underwent physical nirvana in the Fallen Demon Land, his magic power disappeared due to the collapse of his body; in reality, it was passed to President Sima Hui Niang through the Luo Lingxi Gu fed by flesh and blood.

There was nothing wrong with this method.

The problem was that Luo Chen's magic power was too overbearing!

At that time, he was at the sixth level of Core Formation, and his fire-attribute magic power was extremely yang and extremely rigid, something few in the world could match.

It could even be said that even Luo Chen himself could not withstand the day-and-night erosion of his magic power, to the point that his face was red all year round and strange phenomena appeared externally.

How could President Sima Hui Niang, at the mere ninth level of Foundation Establishment, withstand it?

Although she had the help of the Luo Lingxi Gu, allowing her to barely accept this magic power, she could not suppress it at all!

She herself had water and wood dual spiritual roots, and the cultivation technique she practiced was "Near Water Tower," making it difficult to control this magic power.

The Core condensed by the Luo Lingxi Gu was also not an orthodox Core.

The control was extremely low!

There is one more point: Luo Chen's magic power was not only overbearing in attribute, but also large in quantity.

All along, Luo Chen's magic power was several times that of his peers; by the time he reached the Core Formation stage, he could even rival those at the ninth level of Core Formation with the magic power of the sixth level!

This created President Sima Hui Niang, who ascended to the sky in one step, directly rushing to the seventh level of Core Formation.

Large quantity, overbearing nature, piercing the Qi Sea, washing the body every moment, finally causing indelible damage to her body.

But there is one point that is quite strange.

If this batch of massive magic power had been vented out, it would at least not have fallen to the current state where the Qi Sea is riddled with holes, the meridians are scorched and withered, and the body is heavily burdened.

This problem was instantly solved when Luo Chen thought of the hundred years of hardship of the Luo Tian Sect.

To protect the sect, Wang Yuan took shortcuts, practiced the transformation of the demon kind, and only sought to obtain powerful strength.

Min Longyu painstakingly studied the way of arrays, to the point that his mental energy was exhausted, his hair turned gray, and what he sought was also more powerful strength.

Qu Lingjun's aptitude was too poor, so he could only save the sect in a roundabout way, joining the Fenghua Palace, also to obtain powerful strength, even if it was external.

Under such circumstances, how could Hui Niang, who cared most about the Luo Tian Sect, abandon the powerful magic power in her body in vain?

Luo Chen couldn't help but stroke that face.

"You have suffered."

President Sima Hui Niang was a bit shy, subconsciously turning her head away.

In her ears, she heard a voice that made her happy.

"The problem with your body can be solved by your husband, don't worry."

"Really?"

President Sima Hui Niang turned her head abruptly, staring fixedly at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen nodded gently and rubbed her hair.

"It might hurt a little, you endure it."

"Hmm, I'm not afraid."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, letting President Sima Hui Niang take off all her clothes, treating the scarred skin as nothing, and his spiritual sense sank into it.

Suddenly!

The massive magic power in the woman's body seemed to feel something and became restless.

"Come back!"

Luo Chen cast a spell and began to guide that magic power to flow towards him.

In the end, all this magic power was obtained through his painstaking cultivation; even if it belonged to President Sima Hui Niang due to the conversion of the Luo Lingxi Gu, it still recognized its master.

Luo Chen's treatment plan was not complicated.

Drain all her magic power, destroy her Core, and let President Sima Hui Niang's realm fall to the Foundation Establishment stage.

In this way, there would be no source of disaster.

Then, use medical skills to repair her body, restore it to a normal state, and then she can break through to the Core Formation stage again!

The only problem is probably the lifespan.

President Sima Hui Niang's age had long passed the 250-year limit of the Foundation Establishment stage; the reason she could survive to this day was entirely due to the Core formed by the Luo Lingxi Gu.

Even if it is not an orthodox Core, it is still a Core!

If this Core is destroyed, coupled with the wear and tear of these years on the body, she might not have many years to live.

But Luo Chen also has a solution to this problem!

When he refined the Penglai Eight-Corner Pavilion in the Mirage Dragon Cave, he obtained a life-extending spiritual medicine from one of the most secret spaces!

Its name is Hundred-Headed Solomon's Seal!

This spiritual medicine is of the fourth rank, and taking it can grant a hundred years of lifespan.

If it can be refined into a corresponding life-extending elixir, the lifespan gained will be even more.

Its origin was definitely not cultivated by the Penglai Immortal Sect itself, but was picked by Penglai disciples in the Wood Heaven Plain of the Fallen Demon Land.

When Luo Chen was refining the Eight-Corner Pavilion in the Mirage Dragon Cave and discovered this item, he was once very happy.

He even felt that the decades of lifespan lost in the cave were not a big deal.

This is also one of the reasons why his attitude towards Fu Chaosheng softened after he came out.

Now, this Hundred-Headed Solomon's Seal is about to be used on Hui Niang.

Even if it cannot be refined into a life-extending elixir, relying on its own medicinal power is enough.

A hundred years!

With Luo Chen's full support, President Sima Hui Niang's Core Formation will be effortless!

Time passed slowly.

Just as Luo Chen sucked out all the magic power that could not be contained in Hui Niang's body, as well as the magic power in the Qi Sea, leaving only that blood-colored Core, his movements stopped.

"Eh?"

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Luo Chen replied softly and began to convert his magic power, performing various medical skills that had long been perfected.

Five Elements Returning to Organs, Restoring Bones and Clearing Meridians, Spring Breeze Turning into Rain...

Later, he even took out the Canghai Pill he kept in his storage ring, the kind of Canghai Pill specifically used to repair the Dantian Qi Sea.

After the elixir entered her body, Luo Chen did not slack off at all.

He opened his mouth and spat, and a wisp of blue and white flame appeared faintly.

As his mind moved, the flame turned completely from white to blue!

Unlike the forest-white flame on the Lingtian Pass battle platform, the Withered Glory True Fire at this moment was no longer dead and eerie, but full of vigorous vitality.

Luo Chen carefully spread out the true fire, covering the woman's entire body like a veil of flame, and began to burn slowly.

Those withered skin, cells without vitality, and black-red blood gradually began to radiate new vitality under such burning.

Even the sparse hair began to grow visibly to the naked eye, hanging down to her shoulders, neck, and waist.

And the Canghai Pill that Luo Chen put in earlier also began to refine rapidly, turning into a viscous liquid that wrapped around the edge of the woman's Qi Sea to repair it.

Too much is as bad as too little!

Luo Chen's mind moved, and he withdrew the Withered Glory True Fire.

"You should rest well, and I will come to treat you again in a few days. After your body is completely healed, you can take the Hundred-Headed Solomon's Seal to restore your origin and increase your lifespan."

When saying this, Luo Chen covered her with a thin blanket, covering her white, jade-like body.

President Sima Hui Niang stared blankly at Luo Chen.

"Are you leaving?"

"I'm not leaving; if I leave, I will take you with me."

"Hmm..."

The woman blinked, and the exhaustion and weakness accumulated over a hundred years surged up instantly.

Surrounded by the long-lost comfort and sense of security, her long eyelashes fluttered, and she gradually fell asleep.

Luo Chen tucked the corner of the quilt for her, and his originally gentle expression gradually became gloomy.

The woman at this moment still had the realm of the mid-Core Formation stage!

In that gradually repairing Qi Sea, a Core rose and fell, and hundreds of restrictions wrapped it tightly.

"The Luo Lingxi is poisonous; it not only connects the heart but also the spirit!"
