Chapter 94: Your painting style is not right

Mi Shuhua came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Wishing he could……

Alright, he left in a hurry, specially taking away that bottle of Jade Marrow Pills.

Luo Chen guessed that the other party intended to use the refined Jade Marrow Pills to pave the way.

These Foundation Establishment cultivators, because they have lived long enough, are often old and sophisticated.

Not to mention looking ten steps ahead, looking three or five steps ahead is very normal.

Rather than waiting for Luo Chen's pill refining level to rise and production to increase before looking for sales channels, it is better to open up channels in advance.

Only in this way can they see huge profits when the time comes.

In comparison, Qi Refining cultivators whose lifespan is still in the normal range are relatively short-sighted.

Luo Chen is such a "short-sighted" person!

In the short line of sight, there is someone preparing to slip away.

Fortunately, he is short-sighted, and he saw it at once!

Luo Chen seemed to teleport, blocking the gate of the Pill Hall with lightning speed.

Hands spread out.

"Bring it!"

Sikong Shoujia played dumb, "What?"

Luo Chen gritted his teeth, "That game of chess just now, you are doomed to lose. You can't go back on your word, our bet, give it to me!"

Bet?

What bet?

And why do you say I am doomed to lose?

Sikong Shoujia opened his turbid old eyes, "How can you slander people out of thin air? Who lost? I was just playing that Chinese checkers with you to pass the time."

Luo Chen took a deep breath, staring at the old man.

"Fine, since you say so……"

Hehe, young man, what can you do to me!

Sikong Shoujia sneered, having a sense of vicissitudes of life.

Then, the next moment, his face became redder and redder.

Just because, Luo Chen expanded his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted at Xieyue Valley.

"Elder Sikong is going back on his word!"

"In our gang's Pill Hall, in our gang's Pill Hall, the greatest Elder Sikong Shoujia owes Hall Master Luo Chen three spirit stones for eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. Now he is defaulting on his debt and preparing to run away!"

"Pill Hall Elder Sikong Shou……"

"Stop shouting!"

Sikong Shoujia's face flushed, and then he showed the national essence of Sichuan opera, as black as a pot of ash.

A small booklet was thrown directly at Luo Chen.

After throwing it, he ran away directly.

When he left Xieyue Valley, he found that many cultivators in the valley were looking up at him.

He was even more resentful, "What kind of people are these! It's just a secular hidden weapon secret manual, is it worth it!"

Luo Chen couldn't hear this.

Even if he heard it, he would have to say, of course it's worth it!

This is the bet for playing chess!

Just now, after teaching the two the rules, Luo Chen proposed a stake.

The three of them each took out a secular martial art.

This kind of thing is quite common in the Dahe Market and is not worth a few spirit stones.

After all, no matter how good martial arts are, they can't block an ordinary righteous fireball.

But Luo Chen is different; he has a proficiency system.

He can dig secular martial arts to the extreme.

Even if the improvement of combat power by extreme martial arts is small, it is still a bit of an improvement.

Before, he was busy refining pills, surviving, and cultivating, so he didn't put much thought into this.

So he only practiced a light skill called "Li Li Xiaoyao Travel."

Now that he has a little free time, he naturally has some ideas.

Therefore, Luo Chen proposed to decide the winner in five rounds, and the person who wins the most can take all the stakes.

Sikong and Gu naturally had no opinion.

It's just some small things, and they might not even be sold if taken out.

After a game of chess, Luo Chen won two games, Gu Caiyi won two games, and Sikong Shoujia didn't win a single game.

In the last game, Luo Chen had a huge advantage, so he was in a hurry to get the bet.

My Luo Chen's account is not something anyone can default on.

That Gao Tingyuan owes him five spirit stones, and the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect owes him a trophy made of spirit stones; he still remembers them.

"Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers"

The moment he saw the book title, Luo Chen was stunned.

"You old man, why did you give me a martial art with a painting style that doesn't fit at all?"

Seeing him standing there in a daze, Gu Caiyi walked over in small steps.

After looking at the book title, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"So it's this secret manual!"

"You know?"

"Back then, a martial arts master luckily entered the Dao and came to the Dahe Market. With nothing to his name, he took it out to sell." Gu Caiyi told the origin of this martial arts secret manual, "That person was very smart and reproduced many copies, each for one spirit stone, or equivalent cultivation resources. So, this thing has long been flooded in the Dahe Market."

Flooded things, and Sikong Shoujia still wants to default?

Another old rascal!

No!

Luo Chen suddenly thought of something, "Flooded? What is its value, that it actually flooded among the cultivators of the Dahe Market?"

Any kind of thing that can become a common item must have its value.

Just like storage bags, just like Qi-Nurturing Pills.

Gu Caiyi smiled slightly, "Of course there is. It is a hidden weapon technique, but after cultivators learn it, they find that Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers is not only applicable to ordinary hidden weapons, but also has a great improvement for magic tool control."

"Isn't magic tool control all about the Traction Technique, spiritual power regulation, or whether the spiritual sense is strong or not?" Luo Chen was curious.

"You can't say that; during the battle, timing, angle, speed, rhythm, etc., all need to be considered."

Pointing to the book, Gu Caiyi said casually: "It's a coincidence, this hidden weapon technique pays special attention to those things. It is said that that master came from a place called Tang Sect in a mortal dynasty."

"I know, I know, there is also a hidden weapon in that place called Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus!"

Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus?

What is that?

Gu Caiyi was confused.

Forget it, let's not worry about these for now.

Gu Caiyi took out a small booklet and sent it to Luo Chen casually.

"Seeing that you are very interested in these martial arts, I will give you this one too!"

Luo Chen took it curiously, "Mountain-Opening and Monument-Breaking Palm?"

After reading the name, he looked at Gu Caiyi suspiciously.

"Don't tell me, you've practiced this thing?"

It was hard for him to imagine a beauty who appeared like a fairy on the Dao-Discussion Platform hitting a Mountain-Opening and Monument-Breaking Palm.

What is this all about!

The old rascal took a Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers, and the beauty gave him a Mountain-Opening and Monument-Breaking Palm.

The painting style is chaotic, alright!

Gu Caiyi giggled, "I haven't practiced it, but a person you know must have practiced it."

"Who?"

"Wang Yuan!" Gu Caiyi laughed, "He was also a martial arts master who entered the cultivation world, and he also experienced the days of setting up a stall to sell secret manuals. This is what he sold, and I accidentally got a copy."

Luo Chen was startled; in his distant memory, there seemed to be such a scene.

That was before he crossed over, the original owner's memory.

So, my Brother Wang also had to sell his family property!

And it was especially miserable; it was sold and then copied and resold by others.

In terms of business acumen, Brother Wang is far inferior to that hidden weapon master from Tang Sect!

After sighing, Luo Chen put away this martial art as well.

He planned to read it in his spare time; if it suited him, he wouldn't mind opening mountains and breaking monuments!

After putting it away, Luo Chen still had a lot of curiosity.

For example!

"Daoist Gu, what is the life-bound cultivation technique you practice? Let's make an appointment to practice together!"

This time, Gu Caiyi didn't say "get lost."

She had already gotten used to Luo Chen's character of being flirtatious from time to time.

She just rolled her eyes at Luo Chen, "I'm afraid you can't take it, that's the secret technique of the Hehuan Sect!"

Luo Chen's eyes lit up, and he shouted.

"Isn't that just right? Demoness, I want you to use the Hehuan Sect's secret technique to help me cultivate!"

"Get lost!"

Alright, Gu Caiyi overestimated her concentration.

She still had to continue to get used to Luo Chen's lack of bottom line.

Luo Chen rolled away in a sorry state.

It is best not to offend too many ninth-level Qi Refining great cultivators now.

Otherwise, when the time comes, Old Man Mi, this protector, won't be able to protect him.

Back in the stone house, Luo Chen threw a pill into his mouth with one hand.

He chewed it a few times, then felt it slightly, and nodded with satisfaction.

"The medicinal power is only one-tenth of the Qi-Nurturing Pill, but it is just right for my current situation!"

If Mi Shuhua were here, he would probably be furious, sacrifice a top-grade magic tool, and beat Luo Chen, this evil obstacle, to death.

Because what Luo Chen was eating was actually the Jade Marrow Pill!

He actually still had extra Jade Marrow Pills!

Clearly, he said that the number of pills produced in one furnace was only eleven.

But after giving all the pills to Mi Shuhua, he still had some on him.

And, not just one.

In the storage bag, eight more were lying quietly.

That is to say, counting the one he just ate, his true number of pills produced was twenty!

"It is indeed a pill recipe that the system helped get started; the success rate and the number of pills produced are extremely stable."

Yes, Luo Chen's success rate and the number of pills produced have always been very stable!

Unlike other alchemists, who might occasionally produce five pills in a furnace, and occasionally double it when in a good state.

Luo Chen, whether it is Grain-Bigu Powder or Myriad Wonder Pill, actually produces a very stable number of pills every time.

And with the Jade Marrow Pill, Luo Chen has already figured out that the number of pills produced in one furnace is about twenty!

Moreover, there are no waste pills; either it fails, or it all succeeds!

If this terrifying stability were spread out, it would definitely shock the cultivation world!

It is precisely because of this that Luo Chen has repeatedly concealed it. He even destroyed a small portion of the raw materials with magic power during the pill refining process, creating the illusion of inconsistent pill production.

"It can still be concealed for now, secretly embezzling some Jade Marrow Pills."

"But after large-scale refining in the future, it cannot be done so blatantly."

Luo Chen smiled slightly; a cook will never starve in three years of famine.

He naturally wouldn't starve himself either.

At present, his physical condition is that he can refine two Qi-Nurturing Pills at his limit in a day.

But this doesn't mean he can't refine other pills.

Especially low-grade pills like the Jade Marrow Pill, whose medicinal power is already low.

He can completely eat them as sugar beans.

Even, there is no need to urge the Everlasting Art to deliberately refine them.

Letting the Jade Marrow Pill melt in the body, the released medicinal power will hide in his twelve regular meridians and eight extraordinary meridians that are fully opened.

When using spells or moving normally.

These weak medicinal powers will slowly transform, or be consumed, or be absorbed.

Moreover, at this stage, there is no need to consider drug resistance, sequelae, etc.

As the refiner, Luo Chen knows the efficacy and taboos of the Jade Marrow Pill better than anyone, and he will grasp the scale.

In short!

"At this stage, embezzle as much as you can!"

With a chuckle, Luo Chen opened "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers"; who doesn't have a dream of being a beautiful girl!

…….

……

"Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers", Author: Tang Wuchen.

Opening the secret manual, Luo Chen gave a like on the spot; since the name contains "Chen," he thought the other party must also be a handsome and extraordinary person.

Just like him!

In this way, doesn't that mean this secret manual is tailor-made for him?

It's a pity that after reading it completely, Luo Chen felt a bit of a headache.

This secret manual records thirty-six hidden weapon usage techniques, each with its own tricks.

If he wants to learn it completely, he must find those special hidden weapons and experiment one by one.

"This is too troublesome!"

"I don't know how other cultivators extracted the corresponding magic tool usage techniques from it."

Without anyone telling him, Luo Chen could only grope slowly.

However, this would take a lot of time.

"It's a pity, I wanted to use this thing to brush a wave of achievement points."

Yes, Luo Chen learning these secular martial arts is not just as simple as improving his combat means.

What he wants most is to use martial arts to brush skill proficiency, so as to obtain enough achievement points.

As he got more and more pill recipes, his originally abundant achievement points became less and less enough.

Originally, the Myriad Wonder Pill proficiency promotion to Grandmaster gave him an achievement point, accumulating to 23 points.

But getting started with the Jade Marrow Pill consumed ten points at once.

He still had the first-grade incomplete pill recipe Tongyou Pill, the second-grade incomplete pill recipe Jade Dew Pill, and the second-grade complete pill recipe Blood Fiend Pill in his hands.

Whether it is completing the pill recipe or getting started in the future, it will cost a lot of achievement points.

Luo Chen always has to plan ahead!

He can't wait until the time comes to frantically brush proficiency.

Compared to spells that are difficult to learn and master, martial arts are much simpler.

To put it bluntly, secular martial arts are mostly built on the mortal physique.

The stronger the physique, the higher the upper limit of martial arts.

Cultivators, under the long-term immersion of spiritual energy, actually have an extremely strong physique, and as long as they practice according to the requirements of martial arts, they can easily achieve small success.

Back then, the proficiency of Li Li Xiaoyao Travel soared because of this reason.

Now, Luo Chen wants to repeat the same trick.

It's a pity that the cumbersome practice requirements of Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers made him awkward.

"Giving up is impossible; everyone practices it, which shows that this hidden weapon secret manual is indeed valuable."

"But for now, there is no need to rush for success."

Luo Chen shook his head, remembered a hidden weapon technique called Hunyuan Bead, and threw "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers" into the storage bag.

The reason for remembering Hunyuan Bead is mainly because this hidden weapon itself is just a small round bead.

It's just that after hitting the inside of the enemy, the force hidden in the bead will instantly burst open.

At that moment, the force combined with the fragments after the bead explodes will cause huge internal trauma to people.

The power is not only huge, but also very difficult to cure.

It is truly a dark and vicious hidden weapon!

Luo Chen didn't have time to create Hunyuan Beads, but he happened to have similar beads on hand that could be used for training.

The stone beads from the failed Jade Marrow Pill refining are very good hidden weapon materials!

After all, this is a waste pill condensed from the jade marrow of the first-grade spirit jade Huan Jade.

In terms of material, it is no less than the Hunyuan Bead circulating in the secular world.

After putting away "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers", Luo Chen casually opened another martial arts secret manual.

Gifted by Gu Caiyi, Wang Yuan's own martial arts sold at a stall in his early years—Mountain-Opening and Monument-Breaking Palm!

Originally, he didn't have much hope for this palm technique secret manual.

It was nothing more than relying on external force to forge a pair of iron palms like the Iron Sand Palm.

He definitely didn't have the time to do this kind of thankless practice.

However, at a glance, he was addicted.

"It's actually a palm technique that pays attention to controlling qi!"

Very rare, this set of palm techniques is not external work, but internal work!

It talks about how martial arts masters can release their internal strength or true qi out of the body using special techniques and according to specific meridians and acupoints.

Good heavens, this is amazing!

As far as Luo Chen knows, those in the secular martial arts world who can achieve true qi release are all martial arts master-level figures.

This set of palm techniques takes a different path; even if you don't become a master, you can achieve the level of true qi release.

Glancing at the author's name.

Hey, isn't this a coincidence!

Wang Yuan!

"It's actually a unique martial art created by my big brother, but the name is not very good. It would be better to call it Breaking Sky Palm or White Rainbow Palm, or even Splitting Sky Palm!"

Luo Chen teased Wang Yuan's naming technique, and then his heart became a bit hot.

Internal strength? He doesn't have it.

True qi? He doesn't have it either.

But he has an energy that is even more awesome than internal strength and true qi—spiritual power!

And the specific meridians recorded in the book, he has no pressure either; he himself is a physique with twelve regular meridians opened and eight extraordinary meridians connected.

Specific acupoints, Shaofu, Laogong, Zhongzhu, Zhongchong, Hegu, these five acupoints, he has even less of a problem.

Whether it is the Green Origin Pill Explanation or the Hundred Herbs Illustrated Handbook, there are corresponding human acupoint maps.

He only needs to stimulate them slightly with spiritual qi to penetrate these few acupoints.

In this way, getting started with the Mountain-Opening and Monument-Breaking Palm is simply too easy.

Thinking of it, he did it!

Luo Chen mobilized his spiritual power and stepped onto the Hand Three Yang Meridian according to the shallow method recorded in the book.

Moving forward all the way, without any obstacles.

When it reached the palm, the spiritual power turned into a needle tip and poked lightly.

Break! Break! Break! Break! Break!

Soon, the five palm acupoints were also broken open one by one.

Since then, the channel for spiritual power release has been opened.

When not in use, it can be closed at any time.

Afraid that the channel was not big enough, Luo Chen widened it several times with spiritual power until Luo Chen felt that his palms were a bit cold, and then he stopped this action.

"Okay, let me see the power of Brother Wang's unique learning!"

Luo Chen chuckled and slapped the hard ground with one palm.

The massive spiritual power, like a rushing river, poured out instantly.

Boom!

A huge sound exploded inside and outside the stone house.

"Luo Chen, are you okay?"

It was Gu Caiyi's worried voice.

"It's okay, I'm perfectly fine, Achoo!"

"Well, I'm going into seclusion, don't let anyone come in and disturb me."

After a long while, Luo Chen's echo came from inside, which was a bit empty, as if it came from a person in a cave.

After hearing this, Gu Caiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning around, she continued to supervise the batch of fire-tenders, familiarizing them with the new fire-control techniques Luo Chen had explained.

This batch of fire-tenders was the same batch as before.

Having had a month of foundation, they were now familiar with the fire control of the Jade Marrow Pill, and they would get started faster.

It's just that this group of people stayed by the fire pit every day, their skin became red, and their skin was a bit dry.

Gu Caiyi only felt that pill refining was indeed not easy.

She didn't know how Xiangxiang maintained her skin back then, having been a fire-tending child for three years, and her skin was still so good.

Regarding her confusion, Luo Chen had a lot of say.

Alchemists have to learn fire control, and naturally, they also have to learn fire avoidance.

If the elders taught them in advance, they would know some corresponding tips.

However, Luo Chen had no time to answer Gu Caiyi now.

Because he was in a cave.

Or rather, not a cave, but a wide and far-reaching tunnel!

Looking at the tunnel that was as developed as a spider web, a thought appeared in Luo Chen's mind.

"Mine tunnel!"

He guessed right; below the Pill Hall was the mine tunnel left by the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion when they were mining star silver ore in Xieyue Valley back then.

It's just that as the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion moved away, these mine tunnels were sealed.

After the Broken Mountain Gang took over, they probably came down to see it.

But after confirming that no inheritance was left, they simply ignored it.

"It is said that the Medicine Hall manages a few larger mine tunnels, which are usually used to dry some herbs that cannot see the sun."

"Then this side of mine should also belong to the main mine tunnel."

Glancing at the entry that had just appeared on the attribute panel 【Mountain-Opening and Monument-Breaking Palm Entry 1/100】.

Luo Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry; this thing gave him a big surprise.

The first palm, he didn't grasp the strength well, and he actually pierced the ground directly.

I punched through the ground and turned into a dragon?

Standing in the center of the far-reaching main mine tunnel, Luo Chen was a bit dazed for a moment.

"Explore, explore?"

"Where to go first?"

Luo Chen hesitated for a moment and chose the widest mine tunnel.

The widest means that the most people came in and out here before, and accordingly, it would be the safest.

He didn't pray for any inheritance left by a high-level expert sitting in the cave that would lead directly to the Nascent Soul Great Dao.

He only prayed that no underground monster beasts would come into these caves.

"Spiders, snakes, pangolins, etc., please don't come!"

Thinking of pangolins, Luo Chen's heart moved.

A small puppet fell directly to the ground and then crawled forward quickly.

"Puppet technique is a good thing, essential for home travel, killing and seizing treasures! If I have a chance in the future, I must learn it."

Thinking this way, Luo Chen started his rare adventure.

……

"Luo Chen is not here?"

Mi Junping stood in the Pill Hall with an unkind expression.

Seeing her appearance, Gu Caiyi hesitated.

"He is here, but……"

"If he is here, call him out to see me."

"He is in seclusion, maybe he can't come out." Gu Caiyi told the truth, after all, Luo Chen had ordered not to let anyone disturb him.

Seclusion?

What kind of ghost is a mere mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator going into seclusion every few days.

Those who don't know would think he is some kind of enlightened true cultivator, going into seclusion for thousands of years.

Mi Junping thought resentfully, and then stuffed a pile of things into Gu Caiyi's hands.

"This is his dividend from last month; when he comes out, give these to him. Also, check the accounts, and don't come to me if there is less later!"

After she left, Gu Caiyi opened the bag.

A pile of extremely standard-sized low-grade spirit stones instantly came into view, and besides that, there was a familiar small wooden box.

Gu Caiyi opened her mouth, doubting life; is Luo Chen's income so high now? ===== CHAPTER 95 =====
