The magic of intimidation is a non-grade magic.
The power depends on the strength of the caster's own soul.
If the caster's realm reaches the level of foundation building and his spiritual consciousness is released, he can absorb the enemy's soul in one roll.
If the state does not reach the level of foundation building, one can only use the eyes as a medium to cast it on the enemy.
At this time, the ingestion effect of the divine magic is greatly reduced, and it can only have the effect of shocking and intimidating.
Of course, if the difference in soul strength is too large, one can also forcefully absorb the souls of others.
Therefore, when Gu Yue was refining souls and scattered people, he usually severely injured his enemies, or when he killed them, he would forcibly ingest the monks' souls before they were dispersed, and then merge them into his own body.
Luo Chen is just getting started now.
The green light in his eyes shone brightly, and the pheasants fluttering opposite him instantly became silent.
At the same time, Luo Chen also felt that his head had become heavier.
It was as if something was hanging on his soul and pulling him outward.
The two sides are like "tug of war" at this moment.
However, the pheasant is just an ordinary beast, with undeveloped intelligence and weak spirit.
With just a thought, he took control of the tug of war.
"come out!"
He muttered silently in his heart, and the next moment he felt an illusory object being extracted from the pheasant.
The moment we came out, the temperature around us was a little bit cold.
But it was still the middle of winter, and it was already extremely cold. Zhou and Liu nearby did not notice it.
At most, it was thought that there was a cold wind blowing over.
They couldn't see the soul of this extremely weak beast, but that didn't mean Luo Chen couldn't see it.
The Dzogchen spiritual vision technique is enough for him to see such invisible things.
"So weak?"
"Even, shapeless."
In his sight, there was a small transparent light group in front of him.
It's very weak and doesn't even give people the slightest sense of threat.
But the trembling and bewildered look was clearly the soul of the pheasant.
A slight pulling force came from the pheasant's body lying on the ground.
Luo Chen was thoughtful.
He knew that if he let go of the magic of intimidation, the soul would return to the pheasant in a short time.
In this way, the pheasant may become stupid and stupid, but at least it can continue to live.
"It's a pity that it's snowy and the mountains are closed, so we're short of food, so I can only wrong you."
Luo Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and with a thought in his mind, his eyes slowly fell on the small flowerpot he took out.
As his eyes moved, the pheasant's soul slowly fell into the flower pot.
In the flowerpot, the soul-nurturing tree with only three new sprouts seemed to sense something.
Follow instinct and stretch your new shoots.
The light group instantly merged into one of the buds.
The soul-nourishing tree is a yin-type spiritual plant.
Generally growing in cold and cold places, they will naturally absorb and devour the nearby ghosts.
This tree has many uses, including making soul magic weapons, nourishing souls, housing lonely souls and wild ghosts, etc.
But to have these effects, the tree must be at least a thousand years old.
So when Feng Xia gave him the soul-nurturing tree seeds, he didn't take it seriously.
How many thousand years does a person have in his life?
Most of the time, there is none.
Therefore, he casually gave the seeds to Qu Lingjun to play with.
Unexpectedly, he actually planted it.
I don’t know how it was done.
At this moment, Luo Chen was considered a waste.
The soul absorbed by the Deception Technique cannot be absorbed and melted unless he has practiced the true soul refining technique.
It is better to put it into the soul-nurturing tree to help it grow a little or two.
After the pheasant soul light group entered it, a faint bud of the soul-nurturing tree flashed away.
Only after it was confirmed that the pheasant soul had been absorbed, Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Close your eyes and open them again.
He no longer felt like his soul was being pulled.
After taking a look at the attribute panel, I saw that it was still in the introductory stage, and my proficiency had not improved at all.
"It seems that the proficiency that a mere pheasant soul can improve is extremely limited."
"However, a little adds up to a big thing. Let's get familiar with the process step by step first."
Luo Chen was not discouraged and nodded to Liu Qiang next to him.
Liu Qiang was stunned for a moment and then suddenly realized.
Without thinking, he opened his pocket and took out another pheasant.
"Come again!"
Luo Chen did not shy away from the two of them, and his eyes glowed green again.
…
Two hours later.
Luo Chen finished practicing the magic of intimidation and took the two of them back leisurely.
No flying, but walking slowly, like a walk.
Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang followed closely behind him, looking at him with vague awe.
Luo Chen didn't care about this.
Practicing divine magic is full of dangers, both internal and external.
Therefore, he needs someone to protect him.
For now, there is no doubt that Zhou and Liu are loyal to him.
In addition to his character, the treatment he gave them was beyond what other forces could give them.
Therefore, he was not worried about the two of them talking about this matter.
He looked down at the flower pot in his hand.
After absorbing the souls of several pheasants and a hyena, the green light of the soul-raising tree became more intense.
Even the young shoots are slightly thicker by three points.
If it weren't for the Dzogchen Spiritual Eye Technique, it would be difficult for Luo Chen to detect this growth.
He nodded slightly. It seemed that the soul-nurturing tree could indeed absorb and devour the ghosts.
Although this tree is probably rarely used in this life, it is okay to keep it.
Flowers and plants cultivate your sentiment!
Now, he is more concerned about his own changes.
The proficiency of the Divine Deception Technique has been improved very little. After using it six or seven times and absorbing seven souls, it only improved by one proficiency level.
I don’t know how long it will take to get from beginner level to proficient level.
The change that surprised him was not the improvement in proficiency in the magic of deceiving gods.
But the improvement of his soul!
I took Tongyou Pill last night, and my spirit soared!
But that kind of surge made him feel dizzy and dizzy for a while.
Even when practicing and refining elixirs, it is difficult to concentrate.
That feeling is like a person feeling too full after suddenly eating haise.
For a while, my body couldn't adapt, and I couldn't concentrate on anything, let alone exercise learning.
But after practicing the Divine Soul Technique, Luo Chen keenly discovered the skyrocketing spirit.
It loses the sense of emptiness and becomes more solid.
"The Tongyou Pill increases the foundation of the soul."
"The magic of intimidation is polished and tempered, and the skyrocketing soul is polished to perfection."
"In this way, the side effects of taking Tongyou Pill can be quickly eliminated, and my soul can become stronger."
After coming to this conclusion, Luo Chen couldn't help but be ecstatic.
This means that the frequency that he originally expected to swallow a Tongyou Pill in half a month can be reduced to once in ten days.
Increasing the frequency of taking elixirs does not seem to be of much use, but also consumes a lot of elixirs.
But in fact, it’s too powerful.
Take Qi Nourishing Pill and Dust Transformation Pill as examples.
Luo Chen could only digest one pill a day at first.
At that time, he didn't have much money, and this speed was even too fast.
But as his wealth became more and more abundant, this speed actually hindered his practice.
It was only later that I reached the master level of Changchun Gong and opened up my meridians, and was able to digest two pills a day.
For now, Luo Chen even felt that it was too slow.
It would be great if it could be increased to three or four pills a day.
Generally speaking, Luo Chen's practice method is "exchanging resources for time"!
For each practice, two dust-transforming pills are worth forty spiritual stones, one soothing incense is worth twelve, and one spiritual liquid is worth ten. In addition, using the spirit gathering array to draw wood-type spiritual energy consumes five more spiritual stones. , which took away sixty-seven spiritual stones.
Not to mention that he had swallowed high-grade chalcedony pills from time to time, which would have cost him ten spiritual stones.
If you add auxiliary cultivation resources such as moonlight grass and spiritual vein cave.
The resources Luo Chen consumed every day, converted into spiritual stones, amounted to almost eighty spiritual stones.
In one month, it’s more than 2,000, and in a year, that’s 20,000 to 30,000!
There are even elf pills used to enhance the soul, body, eyes, and refined aura, and pulse-replenishing liquid used to repair the damage to the meridians caused by excessive practice, and so on!
He hasn't even counted these pills yet.
If you really want to add more, he is just a monk in the Qi refining stage, and he consumes tens of thousands of resources in one year!
What is this concept?
This amount of spiritual stone is enough for a monk with normal qualifications to practice from scratch to the perfection of Qi refining!
Luo Chen looked like a victim.
But in fact, it would take decades for a normal monk to take this money and practice to the perfection of Qi refining.
As for Luo Chen, it only took less than two years!
This is exchanging resources for time.
Only Luo Chen can do it, no one else can even think about it, even the disciples of the sect find it difficult to do it.
There is no one else, because Luo Chen is the "noble alchemist".
He has this strength and wealth, which allows him to cross the dual spiritual roots with low qualifications, even comparable to the cultivation speed of the Tianlinggen monks.
At this point, Luo Chen still disliked that his resource utilization rate was not high enough.
It would be even better if the frequency of refining elixirs in a day could be increased again.
…
When Luo Chen returned to Luo Tianhui, he happened to encounter a visitor.
It was Nangong Qin, the young master of the Nangong family.
Gu Caiyi was greeting him.
"Didn't you agree that we would deliver the goods to your door? Why bother fellow Taoist to come in person?"
"Ahem..."
Nangong Qin's face looked a little pale, he shook his head and said:
"The Nangong family has been under martial law recently and may be closed for a period of time, so the amount of chalcedony pills needed is a bit large, so I can only go there in person."
outside the hall.
When Luo Chen heard this, he raised his eyebrows.
Is the Nangong family under martial law?
inside the hall.
Gu Caiyi said in embarrassment: "Each of your families has a predetermined share of chalcedony pills. If it suddenly triples, it will be very difficult for us!"
"It's nothing difficult." Nangong Qin took out a bag, "We don't want discounts, just buy them at the original price."
For several foundation-building families, Luo Tianhui directly treated them like gold-plated VIPs.
Not only does it provide door-to-door delivery services, it also offers a 20% discount on purchases.
In other words, a bottle of Chalcedony Pill costs fifty spiritual stones on the market, and several foundation-building families can buy it for only forty spiritual stones.
This move was not only intended to occupy the elixir market, but also to show goodwill to the major families.
Now that the Nangong family doesn't want that discount, the loss is not just ten spiritual stones.
Fifty bottles per month, and now it suddenly requires two hundred bottles, the loss is a full two thousand spiritual stones!
Gu Caiyi was a little moved.
However, the demand for elixirs in the market today is also very high.
The prices of Qi-nourishing pills circulating on the black market are very high, which is a great opportunity for them to consolidate the market.
When she was hesitant, Luo Chen stepped into the living room.
He laughed heartily and said: "Since we are so sincere, why don't we be beautiful as adults?"
"Caiyi, send someone to get two hundred bottles of chalcedony pills."
It's great if someone makes the decision.
Gu Caiyi nodded to Luo Chen, then turned around and left in a hurry.
At this moment, only Luo Chen and Nangong Qin were left in the hall.
Looking at the other party, Luo Chen smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Nangong, you are well and well!"
Nangong Qin smiled bitterly, and just as he was about to speak, he couldn't help but cough violently.
Cough cough cough…
After coughing violently, he said bitterly: "Make President Luo laugh."
Luo Chen shook his head, "Being able to lead people into the ghost city and escape with one's life from the ghost generals, I can only respect, not laugh at."
Then, he curiously asked: "What is going on in the ghost town?"
Now I have someone to ask for, and the other person's attitude is still so good.
In addition, the scandal a while ago has spread throughout Dahefang.
Nangong Qin had nothing to hide, so he sighed and talked about the situation in the ghost town.
The two chatted for a long time, and it wasn't until Gu Caiyi got all the chalcedony pills that Nangong Qin said goodbye and left.
Luo Chen personally delivered it to the gate.
Watching the monks from the Nangong family, they harnessed the escaping light and left in a hurry.
Luo Chen said softly: "The Nangong family needs to rest for a while."
"Recuperate?" Gu Caiyi was puzzled, "But didn't they just gain some territory from the Poshan Gang?"
"No matter how much territory there is, someone still needs to run it!"
What the Nangong family lacks most now is people!
Luo Chen smiled and said no more.
The Nangong family is originally an outsider.
At first, I didn't have a good time at Xuelianfang, and it happened to be that Dahefang opened the Dao Forum, so I decided to move here.
They worked hard to get a foothold here.
Join Xuan Yihui and send the strongest junior in the family to become famous on the Taoist stage.
Later, he participated in the operation to carve up the Poshan Gang.
If everything goes well, with the young and powerful foundation-building cultivators in the clan and the talented Qi-refining juniors, it will be enough to open up the situation in Dahefang.
However, this process has not been smooth.
First, in the battle to stop Qin Liangchen, a group of clan members were lost.
Later, there was a conflict with the Li family, an established local immortal cultivating family, and many people died.
I don’t know how much Guicheng and his party have gained now, but they have died for nine full stages of Qi refining.
It can be considered a serious loss of vitality!
In this case, the many territories that were previously fought for have become overwhelming.
If we forcefully manage those territories, we will easily be dragged into the quagmire by other forces.
The Nangong family has people with profound knowledge.
Therefore, the decision was made to recuperate.
This large-scale purchase of chalcedony pills is a preparation for recuperation.
With this batch of elixirs, and given enough time, they can train another batch of family monks in the middle or even late stages of Qi refining.
At that time, they can stand up again.
Which makes sense.
Luo Chen figured it out as soon as he thought about it.
Perhaps, it is also because of the increase in spiritual soul foundation!
His attention was still focused on the information Nangong Qin mentioned before leaving.
"Ghost City, maybe there is more than one ghost general?"
Squinting his eyes slightly, Luo Chen felt a sense of urgency.
If the ghost is about to leave the city, there will definitely be a bloody storm.
There is no such thing as weighing the pros and cons and benefiting people's hearts for these extremely vicious people.
If he really encounters a ghost general, even if Luo Chen can refine second-level or third-level elixirs, the other party may not care.
After all, this kind of ghost that suddenly formed is not an orthodox ghost cultivator.
There was no way to reason with him.
"So, we still need to increase our strength!"
…
"From what you say, this Luo Chen is quite extraordinary!"
The former Mi family's land is now the Nangong family's headquarters.
In the quiet room, Nangong Jin opened his eyes and looked at his rosy-faced son.
At this moment, Nangong Qin no longer looked like a consumptive ghost before. Although his energy and spirit were not very strong, he still didn't look like he was coughing every now and then.
He nodded and said: "Luo Chen got a lot of information about the ghost town from me, but even in the end, he didn't reveal the slightest idea of entering the city."
"In that case, it was our Meng Lang who was the one in charge at the beginning."
Nangong Jin sighed.
The death of nine late-stage Qi Refining monks was also a huge blow to their Nangong family.
The benefits of the ghost town were really too great, and he got a lot of magic weapons against ghosts from the Zhenlong black market, so he started to think about exploring the ghost town.
The result was unexpected...
On the other hand, this Luo Chen, who was in charge of a power through Qi refining, could still resist his greed.
It really impressed him.
This time he was willing to show favor to the Nangong family and give out a large amount of pills, which further shows his popularity.
"Not only his knowledge and bearing, but also the feeling he gave me was completely different from before."
"oh?"
Nangong Qin frowned deeply and said with a hint of uncertainty:
"In front of him, I actually felt like I was facing my father. It was quite stressful."
Nangong Jin raised his eyebrows, "Is this true?"
"Yeah!" Nangong Qin seemed to be recalling the previous meeting scene, and he said with a slightly unnatural expression:
"In front of him, I felt like my whole body was being seen through."
"Not only that, but when I think back, the rhythm of the conversation has always been dominated by him."
"It's like...I'm facing a foundation-building true cultivator!"
After hearing these words, Nangong Jin fell into deep thought.
After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It doesn't matter. The more Luo Chen stands out, the more beneficial it will be to us."
"The other companies have always been jealous of his alchemy skills."
"If he attracts attention from the front, it will help us share the pressure and get through the difficulties ahead."
Having said this, he looked at Nangong Qin with pity.
"You should rest for a while!"
"Although the ghost town and his party did not harm the original source, they still caused you to suffer serious injuries."
"Take advantage of this period of time to practice hard and reach the perfection of Qi refining as soon as possible. I will keep that Foundation Establishment Pill for you."
Nangong Qin was overjoyed and bowed.
After he retreated, Nangong Jin thought about it silently before suppressing his uneasiness.
"No matter what, the family must not be cut off in my generation."
"Even if the disaster is diverted to the east...Luo Chen..."
