After confirming that battle had no significant spiritual power purifying effect on monks at the seventh level of Qi Refining, Luo Chen became less concerned about the matter.
For the next period of time, I basically stayed in the alchemy hall.
Refining elixirs, practicing meditation, reading books, and digging tunnels.
Yes, just dig a tunnel!
After half a month, he dug a tunnel leading to the Xiaoyue Mountains.
For this reason, he scrapped a first-level low-grade flying sword, and even upgraded the auxiliary mountain-breaking and monument-breaking palm to the master level.
Not to mention, the Grandmaster-level Opening and Tablet Palm is quite impressive.
After striking out with one palm, the spiritual power is strong and concentrated.
There are almost no shortcomings except that the distance is slightly shorter, only ten feet.
The power of a palm is almost as powerful as a strike from a high-grade magic weapon.
"No wonder that after Brother Wang originally sold this book, it was copied and resold within a short period of time."
"It does have merit!"
Luo Chen chuckled, his joy didn't stop there.
Normally, when monks fight, unless it is a special environment like the Taoist Forum, the distance between them will be relatively far.
It is difficult to hit someone at a distance of ten feet.
Whose magic weapon can't just fly hundreds of meters to kill people?
What he was happy about was that this set of palm techniques provided him with four achievement points from beginning to end, and would provide him with another achievement point after the Great Perfection.
While chuckling, Luo Chen spat out his spiritual energy and broke through the last rock wall in front of him.
A refreshing nighttime mountain breeze rushed in.
Luo Chen stepped out of the tunnel and looked down.
The pale moonlight shone from the night sky, illuminating the already silvery forest and snow as if it were daytime.
He was located halfway up a mountain.
The star silver mine in Xieyue Valley has spread to the inner area of Xiaoyue Mountain Range.
It may be far, far away from the core area, but this place is already a place where monks rarely set foot.
Suddenly, Luo Chen retreated into the cave.
The spirit of gathering breath is fully stimulated!
"Ouch!!!"
Some are sad, some are desolate.
But in this late night, this voice is so penetrating!
"Second level demon wolf!"
Luo Chen was as stiff as a dead tree, trying his best to contain the fluctuations of his energy and blood. Even his spiritual power was restrained to the extreme.
This is the Breath Condensation Spirit Art that he has reached the master level after several months of majoring in it.
Even Gu Caiyi, who is at the ninth level of Qi Refining, can't see through his occasional disguise.
But he was not sure whether he could hide it from the second-level monster.
"The road to life will not be the road to death!"
Luo Chen was tense and listened quietly to the movement outside.
As the wolf howled, one after another howled in the nearby mountains.
At first glance, it sounds like a million things.
Dahefang is close to the Million Mountains of the Eastern Wasteland, but the places that the monks usually visit the most are the Guyuan Mountains.
Regarding the Xiaoyue Mountains, which are also rich in resources, there are hundreds of mountains, but not many monks dare to set foot there.
The main reason is that there are not many other monsters in this mountain range, and most of them are monster wolves.
Just as Luo Chen squatted here for a short while, he heard at least a dozen sounds as powerful and rich as the original wolf howl.
This means that there are more than a dozen second-level demon wolves in the nearby mountains.
And if it expands to the entire Xiaoyue Mountain Range, the number of second-level demon wolves will reach a terrifying level.
After a while, the howling of the wolf hardly weakened, and even became more intense.
The smell of blood suddenly reached the edge of Luo Chen's nose.
"wrong!"
Luo Chen's expression moved slightly, and he quietly stepped out of the tunnel.
Eyes move slightly.
Rooted in the Binocular Spiritual Eye Technique, it can be activated automatically even if it is not performed.
In this way, it would not be possible to break the effect of the Breath Condensation Spirit Art just because of the use of spiritual power.
Under the gaze of his smart eyes, a scene a thousand meters away shocked him.
"Is that a fight?"
A gray leaf wolf was fighting crazily with a frost wolf.
Although it was only a first-level monster, due to its endless and crazy fighting, it actually presented an atmosphere that was far more tragic than that on the forum.
The final result of the battle ended with the defeat of Gray Leaf Wolf.
At this moment, the end of winter is approaching, and the Frost Wolf clan occupies the right time and place. Even the gray leaf wolf is a very powerful existence among the first-order monsters.
But he has never defeated the Frost Wolf at the same level.
Luo Chen swallowed and looked around.
There are at least hundreds of battle groups in this big mountain.
There were few, just like what he saw just now, there were only one or two wolves fighting.
There are even hundreds of demon wolves fighting in a melee.
And in the distance, there are even spiritual power fluctuations of the second-order demon wolf, radiating terror.
Looking at the lifeless bodies of the demonic wolves on the ground, Luo Chen resisted the urge to pick up the corpses.
He quietly moved a huge boulder and blocked the entrance of the tunnel.
Then keep walking back.
Don't stay here for long!
…
Huge rocks were used to block the tunnel along the way, and Luo Chen was relieved until he returned to the bottom of Xianyue Valley.
Withdrawing the Breath Lengthening Art, Luo Chen thought about the strange scene just now.
We are both monster wolves, why do we want to fight each other?
Is it because of the different ethnic groups within? So the gray leaf wolf and the frost wolf are at odds with each other?
No, it can't be just that.
There are more than a dozen species of wolves in the Xiaoyue Mountains.
If you do this every day, your vitality will be severely damaged long ago, and this area will not become a restricted area for human monks.
Inexplicably, a picture appeared in Luo Chen's mind.
When he was still living in the small courtyard in the outer city, he met several monks who had escaped from the Xiaoyue Mountains.
One of them, "Hui Niang," kindly reminded him that it was not safe near the Xiaoyue Mountains and asked him to move early.
In other words, the abnormal situation in the Xiaoyue Mountains had already appeared in the early summer of last year.
"Forget it, it's none of my business to look into this matter in detail."
"If there really is a monster attacking the city, there will be someone tall to support it. I just need to run faster than others."
When it comes to running speed, Luo Chen has some insights!
After applying a cleaning technique, Luo Chen prepared to remove the dust from his body.
However, the habitual action of pinching secrets unexpectedly turned into brushing the hands.
With a flick, the dust was gone, and not only that, but a special smell was also washed away.
Smelling the smell, Luo Chen was startled.
"Evil spirit?"
He thought of the scene of the monster wolves fighting fiercely just now, and he was unknowingly contaminated with a trace of monster energy.
"No, doesn't the Cleansing Technique only remove dirt?"
He quickly clicked on the properties panel.
I saw a shimmering light in the Cleaning Technique column.
That is a special short-term display that only occurs after the proficiency level is broken.
"Master level of cleansing technique!"
Luo Chen suddenly realized that before he knew it, he had used the least cleaning technique at the master level.
Luo Chen has also tested the specific effects of the master-level cleaning technique just now.
On top of the original cleansing effect, it also has the effect of cleansing away foreign smells.
Any aura that does not belong to one's own body can be removed.
"The demonic energy can be cleaned away, but what about the blood energy, evil energy, yin energy, and even the alchemy energy and medicinal energy that I carry with me through my years of alchemy refining?"
"Also, where are other people's spiritual powers?"
In an instant, Luo Chen thought of a place where the master-level cleaning technique might be useful.
If even the spiritual power exerted by the monks can cleanse it.
Then in the future, if he encounters the enemy's spiritual power mark, he will also have a good response effect.
Before there were any test subjects, Luo Chen tried to clear away the complex medicinal energy he had carried through years of alchemy refining.
Qi refining monks are still 'human beings' and have not experienced the transition in the essence of life after foundation building.
Therefore, if you come into contact with certain things frequently, you will pick up the smell.
Luo Chen's medicinal and elixir qi, and Chen Laodao's animal skin smell, these smells were more or less retained even if he bathed frequently.
The reason is almost the same as the smell that lingered on the bodies of doctors, fishmongers, and car repairmen on Earth in the past.
Just flick it.
Huo!
Not to mention, it’s really good!
A strange gas was peeled off from Luo Chen's body like beef jerky being torn apart.
If you smell it carefully, it is filled with various flavors such as bitterness, sweetness, burnt numbness, and aroma.
Mixed together, it's vaguely uncomfortable.
Luo Chen was startled. When did he have such a smell on his body? Wasn't it because he was pickled?
I don’t know if they could smell this smell when they were with others before.
Humans are such strange animals. When we first arrive in a new place, we are very sensitive to any strange smell.
But if he has been in a very smelly place for a long time, he will hardly notice it after he gets used to it.
Luo Chen didn't even know that he had such a complex medicinal smell.
"Perhaps when I was refining elixirs, I handled too many medicinal materials and got contaminated unknowingly!"
Luo Chen was a little hesitant to use the cleaning technique again to get rid of the alchemy energy that he could faintly smell.
As he sniffed through his nose, he could probably detect the smell on his body now.
Mellow and light, like jade and fire.
It's a bit contradictory, but it smells good.
It should be the two advanced elixirs, Zhongmiao Pill and Chalcedony Pill, accumulated over and over again.
Suddenly, Luo Chen smelled an uncomfortable feeling.
His fingers touched his shoulders.
There seemed to be a trace of spiritual power that did not belong to him.
It's so subtle that you can't even notice it due to habit.
If it hadn't been for the contrast between the demonic and medicinal qi that had been cleared away before, and the careful sniffing, he would have almost never noticed it.
At this moment, he focused on sniffing, coupled with the active use of spiritual eye skills, and even concentrated his mind, he discovered the source.
That was a trace of extremely pure spiritual power!
And this spiritual power was even familiar to him!
"Mi Shuhua!"
…
…
Mi Shuhua!
Luo Chen knew that the other party valued him very much, almost to the point of surpassing his immediate family members.
Until he can continue to create benefits for him, he will not tolerate any mistakes.
This can be seen from the five bodyguards including Zhou Yuanli.
If it’s protection, why not surveillance?
But Luo Chen didn't expect that Mi Shuhua still had tricks on him.
Luo Chen was very sure that this trace of spiritual power was not something he got accidentally.
He hadn't been so close to the old man yet.
Moreover, the purity of this spiritual power is far beyond the intensity of fluctuations displayed by normal foundation-building monks.
This was undoubtedly Mi Shuhua's extremely purified spiritual power, which was then tapped on his shoulder by some means.
With this spiritual power, as long as Luo Chen doesn't go to the ends of the earth, Mi Shuhua can find him through induction.
Even if he had Shan Xiu's hiding methods, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to hide it.
Moreover, Luo Chen had a feeling.
If this trace of spiritual power is detonated, it can almost instantly destroy any monk in the Qi Refining Stage.
"No wonder he never restricts my freedom of movement."
This time, Luo Chen smiled sincerely.
The palms fell naturally from the shoulders.
He made no attempt to clear away this trace of spiritual power.
Once it is removed, Mi Shuhua will probably be able to sense it.
With the speed of a foundation-building monk, Luo Chen might be able to barely escape for a while.
But Mi Shuhua is not an ordinary foundation builder. He has a magic weapon that he has just obtained. His escape speed is so fast that Luo Chen has only seen the tip of the iceberg before.
And, escape?
"Why should I run away!"
He also needs to rely on the manpower and material resources of the Poshan Gang to practice.
Moreover, it was expected that Mi Shuhua would monitor himself.
This spiritual power is just another layer of insurance besides bodyguards like Zhou Yuanli.
The most important thing is that Luo Chen now has the means to clear away this spiritual power in a short time!
A master-level cleaning technique, if the spiritual power in the body is stimulated by any means, can completely strip away this possessed spiritual power.
Foundation-building monks are very powerful, but they are not extremely terrifying.
Once spiritual power is separated from the body, it is like rootless duckweed.
If the distance is too far and the time is too long, it will gradually dissipate.
Mi Shuhua is not that tyrannical and can detonate this spiritual power from a hundred miles away.
"Let it stay on you!"
"In this way, Mi Shuhua will feel more at ease with me and be more tolerant, which will make it easier for me to collect wool better in the future."
"Until it's time to break up, he will always treat me with tactical contempt."
After thinking about these things, Luo Chen's feeling of a lump in his throat dissipated a lot.
Just a casual cultivator!
Is such that!
He returned to the alchemy hall above in a leisurely manner, seeming to have forgotten the civil war between the demon wolves and the secret tricks used by the foundation-building monks.
Instead, he leisurely took out an animal skin and started looking at it.
If Wang Yuan were here, he would be very familiar with it. That animal skin was the one he gave to Luo Chen.
It records a second-level elixir recipe that is very important to him.
Time has passed for a long time.
This elixir recipe was obtained when he first became the master of the elixir hall.
Calculating carefully, more than half a year has passed.
From midsummer to autumn and then to the cold winter, they are about to pass.
Before you know it, time flies!
For a moment, Luo Chen really felt like a monk sitting and watching the changes of time.
Luo Chen sighed with emotion and looked at the animal skin carefully. From time to time he would take out a pen and paper to write and draw in another small notebook.
That small notebook was what he used to record his alchemy experience.
Occasionally, he would record any insights or new methods of processing a medicinal material on it.
It has to be said that this habit was developed after he read "Qing Yuan Dan Jie".
That book "Qing Yuan Dan Jie" contains many of Qing Yuanzi's fantastic ideas.
For example, Zhe Yu Shou and Su Xin Shou are alchemy skills that Qing Yuanzi has accumulated little by little.
Now, he has this habit too.
However, the part of the paper he is writing on now is all about the Blood Fiend Pill recipe.
[Monk essence blood is not advisable, how about replacing it with monster blood? 】
[What kind of monster should be used for monster blood? 】
[Maybe it’s similar to the human body, monkey? ape? The legendary hairy man? Or maybe the Wuqi monster spread in the Eastern Wasteland? 】
[The Yin evil spirit of Huangquan is too scarce. What if it is replaced by the second-class and common Earth Fire evil spirit? 】
[Earth Fire Evil and Huangquan Yin Evil have diametrically opposite attributes and cannot be used, but the idea can be retained. It might work if the sky and water are evil. 】
[Zihe car is made of three main materials, in order to capture a trace of the remaining innate energy. This is easy to solve. There are many herbs containing innate energy, and you can practice them one by one. 】
…
There are many things recorded in the small notebook.
Either a flash of inspiration or careful consideration.
Almost the entire elixir recipe involving magic, blood, and rare medicinal materials has been taken into consideration.
Or replaced, or abandoned, and so on.
Luo Chen never ignored the elixirs that Wang Yuan cherished so much.
His usual "Brother Wang" wasn't for nothing.
Between the two of them, it can be said that they share the same sorrow.
When Wang Yuan was in despair, he came to help him.
When he was seriously injured and received a "highly valuable" storage bag, Wang Yuan did not take advantage of others.
He even gave him a lot of help and took care of him.
As long as the "Record of Customs in Six Realms" is still in Luo Chen's possession, the relationship between the two will not be at the end of its rope.
This kind of tacit understanding, even if there is no communication on weekdays, the two of them are aware of it.
Luo Chen valued this friendship very much, so he didn't mind helping Wang Yuan when he could.
After more than half a year of research, Luo Chen already had some experience with this blood evil elixir recipe.
There are several improved prescriptions.
I even occasionally practiced it with the help of Dantang.
But most of them failed.
Occasionally, the success is only to confirm the effect of a certain auxiliary material.
What Luo Chen really cares about is the feedback from the system.
At dawn, Luo Chen replaced another main material. After feeling that the recipe had almost no flaws, he tried to use the system to get started.
Now, after his achievement points have reached master-level proficiency in the Breath Condensation Spirit Art, Cleansing Technique, Mountain-Opening Tablet Palm, and Chalcedony Pill, the number of achievement points has exceeded the thirty mark.
Luo Chen didn't dare to use it to deduce the incomplete recipe. He didn't know how much investment he would have to make to deduce the complete recipe.
If it is a bottomless pit, then the gain outweighs the loss.
But if it is a recipe that he has researched himself, he can use system feedback to determine whether it is complete.
[The remaining recipe of the Blood Fiend Pill...the first level Blood Burning Pill, you can get started]
Seeing this prompt, Luo Chen couldn't help but be stunned.
What I want to get started with are pills that can be used for practice!
Your renamed "Blood Burning Pill" is not a serious elixir no matter how you look at it!
Luo Chen paused to get started and carefully examined the improved recipe.
The main materials used are first-level explosive ape demon blood, earth fire demon, and Tianyang fruit.
His original intention was to avoid the main ingredients with yin attributes and do the opposite, deducing the practice elixirs with yang attributes.
Even if it is the first level, it should be enough to support Wang Yuan's practice in the Qi refining stage.
The result that can be obtained is actually a thing like Burning Blood Pill.
"What will be the effect of eating this thing?"
Inexplicably, Luo Chen thought of the many immortals and martial arts he had seen in his previous life.
What magic methods are there to disintegrate demons, how to escape by burning blood, and so on.
It doesn't have a blood-burning pill, it has a similar effect, right?
Luo Chen was a little hesitant about starting this elixir.
Really counting, the number of pill prescriptions he currently has is quite large.
But except for Zhongmiao Pill and Chalcedony Pill, the others are all incomplete prescriptions.
The Tongyou Pill is incomplete, and the second-level Jade Dew Pill is incomplete.
The blood evil elixir recipe is complete, but as long as he dares to collect the main ingredients, he will be waiting to be repaired thousands of miles away by the Jade Cauldron Sword to take his head!
In other words, except for the Zhongmiao Pill and the Chalcedony Pill, Luo Chen actually did not have a complete recipe for getting started directly.
Now that there was a first-level elixir recipe that he had improved, he couldn't help but be ready to take action.
Exploding ape blood is easy to collect.
There are many ape monsters on the Guyuan Mountains, and the Explosive Ape tribe is spread across several mountains.
Earth Fire Fiend is also easy to buy, whether it is Wanbao Tower, Lingyuanzhai, or Xianzhuju.
Tianyang fruit is sold by the pound at Baicaotang.
Because Tianyang Fruit contains a trace of innate Qi, it can be regarded as a small supplement for Qi refining monks.
Even if you eat it directly, the more the merrier.
When she lived in a courtyard house, Gu Caiyi would often bring a few back when she got off work.
Luo Chen was also lucky enough to eat a few. The taste was very choking and exciting!
As for the many improved auxiliary materials, it is not a problem if they are supplemented by the Poshan Gang's channels and the medicine hall.
"No, this recipe cannot be known to the Poshan Gang."
"The Chalcedony Pill is already enough to increase my status and importance. Another pill is just the icing on the cake and even exposes my true alchemy strength."
Luo Chen thought for a while and decided to get started.
What effect does the blood-burning pill have? We still have to refine it.
Moreover, there are never any useless elixirs in the world, only useless monks who don't use them in the right place.
There is a certain market for partial elixirs like Zhongmiao Pill.
This first-level elixir deduced from the second-level elixir recipe is no worse than Zhongmiaowan!
However, Luo Chen decided not to borrow the help of the Poshan Gang for refining.
"It seems that next, I have to take time to secretly collect the raw materials for the Blood Burning Pill."
Luo Chen's eyes flickered, thinking about how to buy what he wanted without attracting attention.
Since it was put on the shelves, it has been updated with thousands of words every day without interruption.
Xiaoyu confidently asked for a subscription and monthly pass.
Bring it!
