Chapter 854: White-robed Stepping on Heaven, Red-robed Approaching the Abyss (Thanks to the flagship alliance for the million-reward!

When Luo Chen performed "Refining Heavenly Secrets" to draw a wisp of spiritual opportunity into the token, changes erupted suddenly!

At the first moment, Luo Chen knew he had mastered the key to this world.

The entire abbreviated landscape of the "Pill Saint World" hidden within the Pill Saint Hall was reflected in his mind; overall, it was not very large, only half the size of the Yuding Domain.

It was no wonder that when Luo Chen first entered, Mr. Xuanyan could find him.

Inside, many strange grasses rarely seen in the outside world were planted.

Like the Hongling Grass used by Luo Chen to refine the Hongyuan Pill, several acres were planted here, which was an unexpected joy for Luo Chen.

Why did he have to set aside spiritual land cave dwellings, pills, and spiritual liquids when calculating his cultivation speed earlier?

Wasn't it because there was no news of spiritual land cave dwellings for the time being, and there was also a gap in the Hongyuan Pill?

The batch of Hongling Grass purchased from the North Sea in his early years had long been exhausted due to massive consumption over these years.

Even if Sang Jinghe cultivated Hongling Grass for him, it was like trying to put out a cartload of burning firewood with a cup of water because the time was too short.

In fact, not only the Hongling Grass needed for the Hongyuan Pill, but even the Soul Essence needed for the Great Soul Pill, Luo Chen was beginning to be stretched thin.

Being able to achieve the current fifth level of Nascent Soul realm, it was not just Luo Chen's hard cultivation and opportunities, but more of the accumulation of massive resources!

Of course!

At this moment, these strange grasses and even the entire Pill Saint World were insignificant existences compared to the Pill Dao insights left by Chu Yan.

What was truly important were only those insights!

"Is this the true meaning of laws related to Pill Dao?"

Luo Chen looked at those illusions and muttered to himself.

To the bystander Mr. Xuanyan, those were just illusions.

But for the person who experienced it, Luo Chen himself, it was as if he were there in person at this moment.

Relying on the token, Luo Chen seemed to be able to substitute into Chu Yan's perspective at any time, follow her to feel the mental journey of each pill refining, and experience the bit-by-bit changes within.

Even the scene where Chu Yan comprehended the true meaning of laws was preserved.

It was precisely the scene where a small world was refined by Chu Yan that Mr. Xuanyan saw!

And it was in that refining that Chu Yan mastered the pill technique "Refining Heavenly Secrets" and learned the method of capturing and drawing spiritual opportunity that ordinary cultivators could not imagine!

Heaven and earth have the Dao, divided into three thousand.

The so-called three thousand is just a general term.

This means that any existence has the opportunity to comprehend a Dao that belongs uniquely to itself.

It is not just the most basic five elements, nor is it the famous wind, thunder, Yin-Yang, space, time, etc.

Even grass, wood, spirits, zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, ghosts, monsters, and even pill, array, weapon, talisman, puppet, and beast-taming, any skill that reaches the highest point has the opportunity to touch the essence of the Dao.

The so-called "skill can approach the Dao" is this principle.

Of course, the essence of the Great Dao is definitely not something that the weak can fully grasp.

But as long as one comprehends a little bit, art can communicate with the divine, and by this, comprehending the true meaning of laws and stepping into the Soul Transformation realm is a matter of course.

At this moment!

In the insights left by Chu Yan, Luo Chen's Pill Refining Grandmaster-level pill refining technique began to integrate from the inside out, from small to large.

Even, relying on Chu Yan's insights, Luo Chen was still climbing upward!

As long as he was willing to continue accepting this insight, he would definitely comprehend the true meaning of Pill Law in addition to the Withered Glory True Meaning.

And he would definitely become a rare, or even the only, dual-true-meaning Nascent Soul cultivator in the Mountain and Sea World!

A dual-true-meaning Nascent Soul sounds like nothing, but one must know that normal Nascent Soul cultivators are already extremely difficult to comprehend the true meaning of laws in advance.

They often have to raise their Nascent Soul to the Primordial Spirit level and enter the Soul Transformation realm before they can be relatively less afraid of assimilation by heaven and earth and comprehend the true meaning of laws.

Being able to comprehend the true meaning of laws in advance before Soul Transformation is already an unworldly genius.

Let alone dual true meanings!

As long as Luo Chen was willing, he could take this step!

But just as Luo Chen was about to step into the scene where Chu Yan refined the small world, he stopped!

In the ignorant chaos, Luo Chen's thoughts became increasingly clear.

"This is Chu Yan's Pill Dao insight, not my own."

"Although the Withered Glory True Meaning was also something I opportunistically comprehended from the promotion of the Withered Glory Divine Fire, it at least belongs to my own Dao, only that it went astray."

"At this moment, stealing someone else's insight, what does that count as?"

"With my current Pill Dao foundation, in the future, comprehending the Pill Law True Meaning that belongs uniquely to me will definitely be a matter of course; why borrow someone else's hand!"

With a turn of his mind, Luo Chen's sea of consciousness three souls simultaneously deployed the Mao Technique.

"Open!"

Amidst the soul vibration, Luo Chen had already detached from the illusion left by Chu Yan.

And at this moment, those massive spiritual opportunities that had been attracted also began to dissipate slowly.

"A pity."

Luo Chen sighed regretfully, but he was not very disappointed.

After the casual guidance from Sovereign Qixia, he realized deeply that shortcuts are good, but it is difficult to reach the end.

A great man should have the heart to give and take!

Fortunately, the control of this Pill Saint World was still in his hands, so this trip was not without gains.

Opening his eyes, Luo Chen met Mr. Xuanyan's dim gaze.

The other party opened his mouth, and finally lowered his head quietly.

Being able to persist until now in a state of a flash of brilliance before the end was already extremely difficult.

Now that he had seen the things left by an old friend, he left even more without regrets.

The stream gurgled, clear and tinkling as it flowed into the distance.

Accompanied only by a young man's sentence:

"Sir, go well on your journey!"

The heavy rain in the Mingyuan Sect lasted for a full nine days.

It was unknown whether it was because this place loved to rain, or because of the dissipation of the clouds and smoke that had shrouded the Pill Saint Hall for hundreds of years.

But as cultivators, everyone was willing to believe that it was caused by the latter.

They also believed that when all the clouds and smoke dissipated, they would be able to see the new generation of Pill Saint Hall Master!

The facts were exactly so!

The tightly closed main door of the Pill Saint Hall was slowly pulled open under the gaze of City Lord Ling Tian.

A tall figure walked out calmly.

"Sorry to have kept you all waiting." The white-robed Daoist said with a smile.

"It's Luo Chen!"

"It was actually him who passed the Pill Saint Hall trial!"

"Where is Mr. Xuanyan?"

"What exactly is the Pill Saint inheritance?"

Unknown when, countless cultivators had already gathered on the square outside the Pill Saint Hall.

Those who could be ranked there were at least Core Formation cultivators.

Among them, there were more than a dozen Nascent Soul powerhouses, all of whom held high positions in the Mingyuan Sect.

Amidst the discussion, a vast voice came from above the nine heavens.

"There is Luo Chen, born in the wilderness, with excellent talent, who passed the trial with the ability of a Pill Grandmaster."

"From today on, he is appointed as the Pill Saint Hall Master, and bestowed with a Blessed Cauldron!"

"Additionally rewarded with the Pingshan Crown, Snow-Falling Frost Clothing, Nine-Glory Jade Belt, and Cloud-Stepping Boots."

"Luo Chen is ordered to immediately go to Yanfu Mountain to have an audience with the three ancestors!"

That vast voice was still echoing.

A figure had already appeared above the Pill Saint Hall.

Luo Chen glanced at City Lord Ling Tian.

Ye Lingtian hurriedly transmitted the introduction: "This is Junior Brother Tan Sheng, one of the personal disciples of Ancestor Yu Ming."

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow; he had not been in the Mingyuan Sect for long and was not familiar with the people and things here at all.

Let alone the internal factional differences.

Like the three people who went to Motian Cliff to invite him, his initial judgment was that they belonged to the representatives of the three ancestors, but later he found that it was not quite right.

For example, that Lei Daozi did not actually belong to Ancestor Yu Ming's disciples.

The other party inherited the mantle of the fallen great powerhouse Bai Ye of the Mingyuan Sect; strictly speaking, he was a force of his own, only close to Ancestor Yu Ming's lineage.

After organizing his mood, Luo Chen bowed to welcome him: "Many thanks for the reward, Ancestor!"

Tan Sheng waved his hand, and disciples behind him walked over holding trays.

On each tray, there was an item.

Treasure light flowed, and at a glance, it looked extraordinary. Even on that crown, Luo Chen felt a sense of familiarity.

"Change into this outfit first, then go see the ancestors!" Tan Sheng glanced at Luo Chen, somewhat frowning, "Do not lose etiquette."

Luo Chen smiled freely and did not care about the other party's tone.

At least they were here to deliver gifts!

At this moment, because of the five-year trial, his demeanor was indeed somewhat uninhibited.

It was dashing, but it was not very appropriate to see seniors.

"Please wait a moment!"

Ye Lingtian stood by and transmitted a message to a young woman who had rushed over.

Then he said to Luo Chen: "Let the Ye family's young lady tidy up the appearance for the Pill Saint Hall Master!"

Luo Chen nodded, then beckoned to the boy beside the young woman.

"Come in with me!"

The boy seemed quite out of place among the cultivators.

Just because there was no spiritual energy fluctuation on him, one could see at a glance that he was an ordinary mortal.

But at this moment, he was the only person besides Ye Ruoli, who was to tidy up Luo Chen's appearance, who could enter the Pill Saint Hall.

When the three figures disappeared, the cultivators outside the hall were still discussing.

"Is that boy Luo Chen's son?"

"Still Luo Chen? From now on, call him Pill Saint Hall Master!"

"That is indeed the Pill Saint Hall Master's son, but I don't know why Hall Master Luo, whose Pill Dao ability is almost transcendent, has a descendant who cannot cultivate."

"That shouldn't be!"

"Did you see that small cauldron? That is the Blessed Cauldron that the Pill Saint used for a long time before condensing the Nascent Soul!"

"A Blessed Cauldron, the ancestor bestowed this item to Hall Master Luo; it seems his heart has not changed."

"I heard that to prevent the Pill Saint Hall from closing again, in the future, the Pill Saint Hall will set up one main and two deputy hall masters. Now the main hall master is a certainty; who do you think the remaining two deputy hall masters will be?"

"Does this even need to be said? It must be chosen from the four Pill Dao Grandmasters like Chu Yu and Lu Chun!"

"Hehe, there's a lot to talk about here. Among those four, first of all, is Chu Yu qualified to be a deputy hall master? Also, two of the four are outsiders..."

"Who told you that one must be proficient in pill refining techniques to be a deputy hall master?"

A discussion fell into silence due to a sudden counter-question.

Then, it triggered an even louder discussion!

And at this moment, inside the Pill Saint Hall.

Luo Chen stood in front of a wide mirror, letting Ye Ruoli change him into the Snow-Falling Frost Clothing and fasten the Nine-Glory Jade Belt.

Stepping on the comfortable Cloud-Stepping Boots, the woman's faint fragrance drifted past his nose, but Luo Chen's attention was on the boy beside him.

"You've grown taller."

Five years in a flash, for cultivators, it was just a snap of the fingers.

But for Luo Lingxi, who could not cultivate, it had passed so slowly.

He looked at Luo Chen, whose appearance had not changed at all from five years ago, his tone somewhat choked.

"Father."

Luo Chen could see the admiration and worship for him in the boy's eyes.

He beckoned, and the boy walked over obediently.

Luo Chen rubbed his head, "Have you been practicing the set of guidance techniques I taught you well these years?"

Luo Lingxi nodded heavily, "Never slackened!"

Luo Chen smiled; he could naturally see the other party's state.

Although he still looked quite thin and weak, he was indeed much better than before.

The boy wanted to speak but stopped, and Luo Chen had already sat down on the chair.

Ye Ruoli glanced at the boy and then asked hesitantly: "Hall Master, what hairstyle should I comb?"

Luo Chen scattered his hand, and the spiritual energy in the air transformed, revealing his previous appearance.

"Just follow this hairstyle, and make slight adjustments to match that crown."

Ye Ruoli looked at the spiritual energy portrait seriously, then nodded, picked up a comb, and combed Luo Chen's hair.

Luo Lingxi beside him saw clearly that the hairstyle was exactly the one his mother, Sima Hui Niang, often combed for his father.

During the process of sitting quietly, Luo Chen was not idle and took the crown.

"Pingshan Crown?"

"Sure enough!"

After a slight look, Luo Chen knew why he had a sense of familiarity.

This crown was clearly the one worn by the ancient Demon Emperor Tian, only with the jade bead curtain removed.

It lacked the imperial atmosphere, but did not lose its majesty, and still had the style of a gentleman.

"The three ancestors are quite generous!"

Luo Chen muttered to himself; with his knowledge of weapon refining, he could see the extraordinariness of this crown at a glance.

It was clearly a powerful defensive True Treasure!

Magic power was injected into it, and a protective shield was immediately derived, enough to cover the whole person.

It could completely defend against physical attacks and magic power impacts.

The defensive strength was not yet known, but the treasure that could be worn by the ancient Demon Emperor Tian would definitely not be too weak.

It was just missing the jade bead curtain!

If Luo Chen judged it, if those jade bead curtains were still there, they should be able to be used to defend against divine soul attacks.

"But it's enough; I have the Soul-Suppressing Prison Technique, so I don't lack those few divine soul defense methods."

When his hair was combed, Luo Chen solemnly put the Pingshan Crown on his head and inserted a jade hairpin horizontally.

He stood up and walked out.

"Wait here for Father to return!"

"I already have an idea regarding your cultivation; don't be anxious."

Luo Lingxi, who had been unhappy, instantly lit up.

When Luo Chen appeared at the main gate of the Pill Saint Hall, the square, which had been discussing noisily, suddenly went quiet.

Gazes were cast over in unison.

Stepping on the Cloud-Stepping Boots, wearing the Nine-Glory Jade Belt, the Snow-Falling Frost Clothing was not only a perfect fit but also made the whole person look elegant and transcendent.

Especially that crown, which set off Luo Chen, who had a young face, to be so handsome and extraordinary.

Looking at him, he was like a banished immortal!

Ye Lingtian praised: "This is our Mingyuan Sect's new Pill Saint Hall Master!"

For a time, it triggered a response from the crowd.

"Greetings, Pill Saint Hall Master!"

Among the hundreds of people here, except for Ye Lingtian, Luo Chen was very unfamiliar with them.

Even people like Lu Chun and Chen Mozi were just nodding acquaintances; they were even competitors earlier.

But under the atmosphere, Luo Chen also performed very happily.

"When I return, I will set up a banquet to drink and celebrate with everyone!"

After speaking, he grew clouds under his feet and floated to the nine heavens.

That Yanfu Mountain was right above!

Inside Shangyou City, there was heavy traffic and people coming and going.

In the crowded crowd, a flash of red flickered past, left the crowd, and came to the outside of the city alone.

A bottomless abyss, like a sleeping giant beast, stood quietly in front of her.

The red-robed figure walked toward the abyss, seeming somewhat tricky.

Suddenly!

A slender jade finger with distinct knuckles pointed lightly into the abyss, and instantly the giant beast opened its mouth, and the abyss separated.

A road leading to the Eastern Wasteland's Soul Transformation Sacred Land, the Mingyuan Sect, was opened! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 855 =====
