"Only when the body is healed will the state of body refining reach perfection."
"If you want to advance to the second level, you need to get the Vajra to White Jade."
"According to Wang Yuan, all the bones and skin in the body are transformed, reaching the level of golden muscles and jade bones. At this time, fine gold becomes muscles and spiritual jade becomes bones. The physical body is pure and flawless, and is directly reborn."
"In this way, we can reach the second level of body refining."
Three days after the fleet left Dahefang.
Luo Chen lives in a quiet room.
As usual, after practicing the "Yi Mu Yao Wang Jing" twice, he began to study other things.
Unlike what ordinary monks think, he is idle every day.
In fact, he was busy.
Practice "Yi Mu Yao Wang Jing" every day.
Introducing evil spirits into the body and tempering the essence of the soul.
Use spiritual consciousness to kill Duan Qiankun's spiritual consciousness restriction and strive to open the storage bag as soon as possible.
Only when I have free time can I read other books.
Now, he is reading the "Wang's Secret Book" that Wang Yuan gave him.
It's a very cliché name, but the content inside really opened Luo Chen's eyes beyond his cultivation of immortality.
It turns out that there are so many ways to cultivate the body.
"It's actually not difficult to break through to the first level of body refining. You just need to rely on elixirs."
"Wang Yuan originally used gold and jade liquid to continuously temper his skin and bones."
"This medicine does not enter the dantian or the sea of qi, so there is no need to worry about erysipelas being left behind."
Luo Chen was not interested in body training.
He has already figured it out. He is not qualified and must focus on the way of refining Qi.
What interests him is the incomplete set of exercises that he and Wang Yuan bought together——
"Tianpeng Transformation"
Wang Yuan looked down upon this method.
He just intercepted the advantages and integrated them into his own physical cultivation path.
But Luo Chen was very interested.
When he was building his foundation, he used the Fire Cloud Peng to refine the Emperor's Ooze.
The Peng bird essence and blood contained in it is not as simple as one drop or two.
If you want to use this to practice "Tianpeng Transformation", you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!
However, this technique is a third-level body-training technique, which is of extremely high grade.
If you want the system to help you cross-level entry, you have to spend too many achievement points.
Moreover, it is still a incomplete version.
Luo Chen asked himself that apart from the alchemy path, he had accumulated too little for body refining, and it was impossible to complete it.
What he is doing now is laying a solid foundation.
If I have the opportunity to practice in the future, I won’t hold onto the Buddha’s feet until the last moment comes.
The practice of "Tianpeng Transformation" has strict requirements.
That means you must have a physique that is at least the second level of body refining.
Luo Chen has now reached the level of body refining.
The distance to the second realm is just a step away.
"Golden jade liquid?"
"This medicine is a specialty of Jinshi Pavilion in Taishanfang. If you go there, you can buy more."
Jinshi Pavilion!
Luo Chen is very familiar with it.
The master of the pavilion, Kang Dongyue, is a genuine foundation-building cultivator.
When he first came to Dahefang to attend the opening ceremony of Lundaotai, he had met him once.
Later, he asked shopkeeper Liu to send him a message, saying that he wanted to sell Zhongmiao Pills as an agent.
Unfortunately, at that time, he was already the alchemist of the Poshan Gang and did not reach a cooperative relationship.
This time I went to Taishanfang.
In addition to buying gold jade liquid.
Perhaps we can also sell a batch of backlogged high-grade chalcedony pills through them.
"Lack of money!"
Luo Chen sighed with emotion.
When you go to other places, there will definitely be a lot of places to spend spiritual stones.
This can be seen from the fact that Wang Haichao has no face and relies on the boat tickets to make a lot of money.
Not only the two of them, the Li family and the Nangong family may also start to use their savings.
Just when Luo Chen was sighing.
Suddenly he frowned.
…
"ah!"
"What kind of monster is this?"
"This is the first-level demon beast Silver Barracuda. It is shaped like an arrow and specializes in breaking through spiritual power shields. It often appears in groups."
"Quick, activate the formation!"
"A silver barracuda has flown in. Sima Xian and his people must deal with it quickly. Don't let that thing hurt anyone."
Luo Chen walked out of the quiet room and his eyes fell on Sima Huiniang who was giving orders.
Seeing that he was not in a hurry, he nodded secretly.
Over the years, the other party has become more and more familiar with the role of president, and has a methodical approach to handling matters big and small.
With her here, I really save a lot of effort.
Then, Luo Chen looked at the "enemies" around him.
More like a fish than a human.
Fish as big as a palm shot out from the rushing river like arrows.
Under the sunlight, the silver-white scales sparkled.
Sharp fangs, just jump to the monk's side.
Even if the defensive shield is activated, it cannot withstand a few bites from one or two fish.
But now, there are more than one or two silver barracudas to face!
As far as the eye can see.
Beside Luo Tianhui's big boat, there were thousands of small silvery fish, flying and leaping constantly.
However, these are not the climate.
There were a large array of guards on the ship, plus a group of masters from the war hall who were constantly killing them.
Except for a few unlucky ones who were bitten at the beginning, the Luo Tianhui monks had almost no losses.
However, other places are miserable.
Luo Chen looked far away, supplemented by spiritual observation.
I saw a dozen large ships, all shrouded in dense silvery white light.
Especially the big ship at the front was unable to move at this moment.
The screams of the monks have begun to break out frequently.
And this is not the worst part!
A large number of casual cultivators who were reluctant to buy ferry tickets had been flying on both sides before, or following behind on homemade bamboo rafts.
At this moment, tens of thousands of silver barracudas attacked at the same time.
The casual cultivators on both sides, those with lower realms, were broken through the defensive light shield in just an instant and were dragged into the river.
Some powerful casual cultivators took advantage of others being besieged and flew to both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
After landing, he looked at this scene in horror.
Monks, falling like rain.
In the river, blood blooms.
Those riding homemade bamboo rafts and boats are even worse!
For the first time, I was surrounded by overwhelming silver barracudas, and I didn’t even have a chance to fly out.
"Where did such a huge school of silver barracuda come from?"
It was Nangong Jin's voice.
Luo Chen raised his brows and focused his spiritual consciousness on the large ship in the center.
A dialogue between the foundation-building cultivators began.
"As far as I know, there is no such a large school of silver barracuda in the Lancang River, right?" It was still Nangong Jin.
Facing his anxious questioning.
Wang Haichao said calmly: "Normally, there is no such thing. But this time, there are tens of thousands of monks traveling with us."
"No monster can withstand so many blood foods, especially those with spiritual energy."
When can human monks be measured by blood food with spiritual energy?
Luo Chen was slightly silent.
Nangong Jin said anxiously: "The number of monks in our Nangong family is quite small. If this continues, we will not be able to protect those mortals. I am going to take action!"
"Fellow Taoist can take action, but absolutely do not use methods beyond the level of Qi Refining Realm."
"Um?"
The voice of doubt comes from Li Yixian.
Wang Haichao said coldly: "Such a huge group of silver barracudas must have a second-level silver barracuda king. This place is in the middle of the river. If it gets angry, it may not be able to fight us, but it is more than enough to defeat these large ships with magic weapons. .”
"On the contrary, if the four of us take action without much fanfare, it will naturally be afraid of one or two."
The truth is indeed the truth.
However……
Looking around, the countless casual cultivators falling like rain into the Lancang River, even the foundation-building true cultivators with a heart as strong as steel, felt quite unbearable.
Li Yixian said solemnly: "Aren't you going to save those casual cultivators?"
"Why save?" Wang Haichao asked immediately.
Without waiting for Li Yixian to answer, he sneered: "These casual cultivators are just used to feed the fish. Moreover, there are too many of them, and they are emitting spiritual energy fluctuations without concealment. Sooner or later, they will attract third-level monsters." .”
"At that time, Fellow Daoist Li, will you resist the power of the Beast King?"
Li Yixian was silent.
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, Wang Haichao was so cruel.
The so-called four people did not take action to scare the second-level Silver Barracuda King, which is just an excuse.
He mainly wants to lighten these burdens!
"I think you don't have that kind of person!"
Wang Haichao's voice gradually became fainter.
Li Yixian smiled bitterly and said no more.
Luo Chen blinked and withdrew his spiritual consciousness.
Naturally, he is not a good person.
These casual cultivators went with them without handing over their boat tickets, so they naturally had to bear the corresponding risks.
For the safety of the subsequent journey, it is also necessary to reduce the risks caused by the fluctuations in spiritual power of casual cultivators.
Luo Chen was unable to protect those casual cultivators.
Being able to protect the people on his own ship is enough.
When the three major foundation builders didn't take action, Nangong Jin only protected his crew.
The siege of the silver barracuda schools lasted for a long time.
This section of the river was completely stained red with blood.
Both sides of the shore.
The surviving casual cultivators looked at him with horror and fear.
It wasn't until the fleet sailed out of this section of the river with difficulty that it came to an end.
Luo Chen looked back at the bloody river and remained silent.
Thousands of fish are flying and corpses are tumbling.
Under the spray of flowers, this journey is dyed with a strong blood color.
"If I hadn't succeeded in building the foundation, would I have ended up like this if I had escaped into the mountains and swamps during my Qi refining period?"
Ask yourself, Luo Chen is not sure.
All the methods used during the Qi refining period seemed extremely ridiculous at the moment.
Lancang River is a relatively safe river.
There are monks there all year round.
As for the Xiaoyue Mountains, they are truly inaccessible.
In peripheral areas such as Changyin Mountain, second-level demon wolves can be found everywhere.
If he had run away with the idea of crossing the mountains, he would have died even more miserably than these casual cultivators today.
While Luo Chen was reflecting, he suddenly felt something in his heart.
He turned around and saw the female cultivator Li Yixian facing the bloody wind on the big ship ahead, looking at him silently.
Facing Luo Chen's look back, she nodded.
Luo Chen nodded slightly.
There was no communication between the two. They just looked at each other and reached a certain tacit understanding.
Wang Haichao, it’s unbelievable!
If he can sacrifice these casual cultivators today, he may not abandon his allies in the future.
The so-called four alliances are just words.
They didn't make a great alliance!
Compared with the weak Nangong family, Luo Tianhui and the Li family, whose strength is intact, undoubtedly have the prerequisite to advance and retreat together.
Li Yixian believed that Luo Chen would give her this face.
In the cabin.
Li Ao respectfully welcomed Li Yixian in.
"Aunt, what did senior Dan Chenzi say?"
Li Yixian used a sound insulation technique to surround the cabin.
She whispered: "He didn't say anything, but he understood what I meant."
Li Ao said anxiously: "It's one thing to understand, but it's another thing for him to be willing to advance and retreat together with our Li family. Aunt, you..."
"Xiao Ao, you can't do this."
"Well……"
Li Yixian looked at him with pity, "You are too impatient. How can you lead the Li family to prosperity?"
Li Ao didn't understand what he meant and felt that everything he was thinking was for his family.
Is this considered impatient?
Seeing his conceited look, Li Yixian sighed.
He is obviously not young anymore, but Li Ao's character is always restless.
Among the younger generation, not to mention Luo Chen, who is now on an equal footing with him, he can't even compare to Nangong Qin.
The latter has experienced good times and bad times in recent years.
After experiencing many setbacks, he has gradually gained the bearing of a head of the family.
She saw it clearly just now.
Nangong Jin sounded anxious, but in fact the Nangong family was not panicked.
Under the auspices of his son Nangong Qin, he dealt with the silver barracuda in an orderly manner.
On the contrary, the powerful Li family suffered many losses under the leadership of Li Ao.
He was so excited that he almost wanted to go out on a boat to hunt down the silver barracuda.
If he hadn't stopped him in time, the Li family monks would probably have lost a few more.
I wonder how Nangong Jin taught Nangong Qin?
Li Yixian shook his head and said softly: "Luo Chen is not a cold-natured person, otherwise he wouldn't have gathered such a group of masters around him."
"I have no grudges with him in the past and have no grudges recently. We have a very good basis for cooperation."
"When he was building his foundation, I gave him the Yimu Medicine King Sutra that he longed for most, and I personally explained to him some of the misunderstandings about cultivation in it."
"In this way, we don't talk about reciprocating favors, but at least we can advance and retreat together. It can still be done."
"Xiao Ao, when dealing with others, you should not just treat yourself with interests in mind, but also put people first."
"Understand?"
Li Ao suddenly realized.
But he frowned and said, "But Luo Chen secretly formed an alliance with us, so it's not to protect the interests of Luo Tianhui."
Li Yixian was stunned and didn't know how to refute.
He could only wave his gauze sleeves.
"Go down and appease the tribe. There is still a long way to go."
"oh."
After Li Ao left, Li Yixian couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face.
She is a woman who only knows how to cultivate before she leaves the cabinet, but she doesn't know how to raise children and teach others.
For so many years, I have just copied the cat and painted the tiger, giving Li Ao a few words of advice.
However, he developed an arrogant and conceited character.
"Sister, I really don't know how to teach your son!"
"Training him to the foundation-building stage is the last thing I can do."
…
Luo Tianhui's ship.
Sima Huiniang, who was discussing with Murong Qinglian and Granny Yuan on how to deal with the wounded, suddenly changed her expression.
"Sorry, the president is looking for me."
Murong Qinglian glanced at the cabin above and nodded. "You go ahead and I'll handle it."
Grandma Yuan coughed and said tremblingly: "Just leave those wounded to me."
Sima Huiniang thanked her, lifted up her skirt, and ran quickly into the upper cabin.
Different from the crowded and messy lower cabin below, the cabin where Luo Chen lives is quite large and well-lit.
The scent of sandalwood lingers.
"President, what do you want from me?"
Above the soft collapse.
Luo Chen opened his eyes and looked at the delicate and capable female cultivator in front of him, wearing a black gauze skirt.
Under his gaze, Sima Huiniang was neither humble nor overbearing, patiently waiting for his orders.
"It's nothing major. It's just that the rest of the journey will allow Duan Feng to get closer to the Li family's ship when he drives it."
Sima Huiniang raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are we cooperating?"
clever!
Just one point and it will show through!
Luo Chen smiled lightly and said, "That's the intention, but neither party has revealed it."
Sima Huiniang nodded, indicating that she understood and would do what she was told.
However, she suddenly asked curiously: "Why not cooperate with the Nangong family who have a better relationship with us?"
"Nangong Jin is this person..."
Luo Chen chanted the name gently.
After a moment, he said slowly: "This person attaches too much importance to interests. He cannot be trusted without making an oath of alliance!"
Sima Huiniang was startled, then nodded sharply.
"indeed so!"
She is not one of those little monks down there who doesn’t know anything.
Luo Tianhui involved major events related to the foundation building period, and Luo Chen had consciously let her know about them.
Nangong Jin has always attached great importance to interests.
At first, he was afraid of offending Miao Wen and refused to cooperate with Luo Cheng. Later, he learned that Luo Chen had certain strength and immediately cooperated with him.
For a magic weapon, he dared to abandon his former allies and deal with Duan Qiankun himself.
When Luo Chen retreats.
When Luo Tianhui couldn't supply chalcedony pills, he almost broke out and went up the mountain to disturb Luo Chen's foundation-building period.
It can be said that to cooperate with this person, you must have enough interests to be involved.
Otherwise, he is too capricious.
It's the Li family's side...
"Li Yixian's mind is relatively simple. He just wants to preserve the Li family and protect himself."
"As long as her bottom line is not touched, she will be a good friend."
Listening to Luo Chen's words, Sima Huiniang was thoughtful.
I remembered that at the foundation building ceremony, Li Yixian deliberately talked about some foundation building experience, which was clearly a favor in addition to cooperation with Luo Chen.
This woman is indeed a generous mistress.
"President, you are just serving food to others and waiting for others to serve you!"
With this thought flashing through her mind, Sima Huiniang no longer had any doubts.
"I understand, I will give instructions on this matter. Only the Seventh Hall Master knows about it."
"Well, you go ahead!"
Sima Huiniang bowed and left the cabin neatly.
Looking at her back, Luo Chen was very satisfied.
The last sentence "Only known by the Seventh Hall Master" was not his order.
But Sima Huiniang was able to react quickly.
This woman has indeed grown a lot over the years, and she has the air of a general.
There is less of the narrow-mindedness of the gang that ran alone in the past, and more of the situation of looking at things from the perspective of the entire gang.
"If her realm were higher, she would be able to help me in more ways."
"Looking at the fluctuations of his spiritual power, it doesn't take long to reach the perfection of Qi refining."
"Perhaps, I can prepare something or two in advance for it."
For this girl Sima Huiniang.
Luo Chen's attitude is very clear.
It is different from the early friends like Murong Qinglian, Gu Caiyi and Duan Feng.
He clearly positioned Sima Huiniang in the role of "subordinate".
There is no friendship, love, or subjective emotions involved.
What he valued was this woman's ability.
As the other party continues to work hard to create value for himself, Luo Chen is happy to give her generous rewards.
Build the foundation!
It is undoubtedly what the other party desires most.
But for Luo Chen now, it is actually not too difficult to help a qualified person build a foundation.
In other words, it is not difficult for most foundation-building monks to help a qualified person build a foundation.
Mi Shuhua was able to get the Foundation Building Pill at first.
The same is true for Wang Haichao and others.
Duan Qiankun was even more awesome and prepared two foundation-building pills for Duan Rui, plus an eight-hundred-year-old root of heaven and earth.
The reason why they did not cultivate foundation-building monks was due to various reasons.
Mi Shuhua and Wang Haichao, one is hypocritical and the other is intolerable.
Duan Qiankun felt a little sad.
It's not that he can't do it, it's that Duan Rui can't do it.
"I hope she won't disappoint me when the time comes!"
Luo Chen sighed and turned his attention back to himself.
In the absence of a method to detoxify, daily practice is extremely important.
Thanks to the foundation building, the soul has skyrocketed, and the body has reached a state of perfection not long ago.
The number of times he practices the Yimu Medicine King Sutra every day has also increased significantly.
One hour at a time.
You can practice five times a day.
It's just that the efficiency is a bit low, even with the help of a small spirit gathering array.
There is no place for spiritual veins on the ship.
"If I can settle down, I must find a place with spiritual veins. The first-level ones are not enough. My qualifications are too poor, so I must have a second-level spiritual vein place."
"Otherwise, you really have to practice for a thousand or two thousand years."
