Outside a spacious cave in Danxia Peak.
The cliffs are steep and the scenery is meandering.
Luo Chen walked out, followed closely by Sima Huiniang.
"It's nothing serious. It's just that when the spiritual energy penetrated the eight extraordinary meridians, it was not restrained, resulting in serious injuries."
"I have already undergone treatment. I will take Runmai Tonic Liquid regularly in the future. It will take a few years to recover."
He said it lightly.
In fact, Sima Xian's injury was far from that simple.
Not everyone can, like Luo Chen, penetrate the twelve main meridians and eight extra meridians in the middle stage of Qi refining.
Therefore, when building the foundation, you often need to be distracted by other things.
This is one of the reasons why foundation building is difficult.
Fortunately, Sima Xian used Emperor's Liquid Liquid Breakthrough, which has relatively mild medicinal properties.
If he replaced it with an orthodox foundation-building pill, he might not even be able to save his life.
Sima Huiniang walked down from the cave with Luo Chen.
She sighed and said: "We have all expected this. After all, my eldest brother is over sixty and has already passed the most suitable opportunity for breakthrough."
Luo Chen also sighed.
"Murong Qinglian failed once, Bian Zhen also failed, and now even your eldest brother has failed."
"Obviously, all preparations have been done to the extreme before building the foundation."
"It seems like luck isn't on our side lately!"
Sima Huiniang forced out a smile and said, "Why do you have to be so low-spirited? Casual cultivators like us are just low-qualified people who are looked down upon by large sects. The failure of foundation building is just expected."
"But logically, it's still hard to accept." Luo Chen smacked his lips. He now hoped that Qin Liangchen could succeed in building the foundation.
Otherwise, Luo Tianhui will usher in the fourth person who failed to build the foundation.
In this way, it would be a major blow to Qin Liangchen himself, his friends, and even the entire Luo Tianhui.
Facing the cold mountain wind, Luo Chen suddenly said:
"correct!"
"Have you told your elder brother and younger brother about our relationship?"
Sima Huiniang tucked her hair behind her ears and said calmly: "I haven't said it, but maybe they can guess it."
Luo Chen frowned, "Isn't this too unfair to you?"
"Are you wronged?" Sima Huiniang tilted her head and looked at Luo Chen with a smile, "I think it's okay!"
"I haven't given you a formal..."
"There is no foundation-building monk who can hold a foundation-building ceremony as gloriously as me!"
Sima Huiniang interrupted Luo Chen.
For her, that was far happier than a grand wedding!
Then, she said seriously: "Instead of worrying about these small things, President, you should think more about cultivation. After all, our Luo Tianhui still lacks a late-stage great monk to take charge."
"Okay, it's your turn to teach me a lesson."
"How dare I teach the president a lesson?"
"I still like the way you look when you call me husband!"
Luo Chen said cheerfully, and then his face straightened.
"I came today mainly to tell you that maybe I will go out soon. Then, you can help me watch the Luo Tianhui."
Sima Huiniang also became serious.
"Managing Luo Tianhui is my responsibility, and I will do it carefully even if you don't tell me."
"Just, going out? Where to go?"
Luo Chen slowly spit out three words.
"Qingdan Valley!"
…
Tao Yisheng disappeared for so long without a trace.
It is by no means as simple as retreating.
It is very likely that he has returned to Qingdan Valley.
In this way, the opportunity for Tao Wan and Luo Chen to meet has arisen.
This is Luo Chen's judgment.
But he was not in a hurry, and continued to practice and refine elixirs in the cave for ten years.
Under his continuous refining, middle-grade and high-grade Jade Dew Pills were continuously refined, and his proficiency was also rising rapidly.
The time is getting closer and closer to Dzogchen.
The reason why he was allowed to refine it in such large quantities was very simple.
If Tao Wan really found him, he would definitely have to make a long trip.
Time is hard to estimate.
Therefore, he had to prepare the Jade Dew Pill for Tantai Xun in advance.
This is a powerful tool to maintain their relationship with Ice Castle!
No interruption at all!
Luo Chen even plans to provide more next year's share.
In this way, Ice Castle will pay more attention to his outings, at least they will not let him have any accidents when he goes to Qingdan Valley.
…
When Luo Chen was not in a hurry and was practicing alchemy.
Thousands of miles away, inside Taowan Cave in Qingdan Valley, there was a feeling of depression.
"are you sure?"
"I'm sure, Senior Sister Shangguan Yan offered an extremely generous reward, and even offered a spiritual fruit that can prolong life. Huang Hezi has indeed turned to the other party."
"Shangguan Yan...good! Very good!"
Reciting this name, Tao Wan's face was full of gloom.
Qingdan Valley is not an upstart sect.
It is a large sect that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years and was moved to the Jade Cauldron Domain four hundred years ago.
Over the years, golden elixirs have emerged one after another in the sect, and even now there are only fifteen of them!
As a result, there are many factions within the sect, and there are many powerful families.
Her Tao family used to be a famous Jindan clan, but it was only after the ancestor of the Jindan family passed away two hundred years ago that it gradually declined.
If one party declines, others will naturally take over the benefits it gives away.
The Shangguan family is the one who benefits the most from it.
And Shangguan Yan, who was the same generation as Tao Wan, had always been at odds with Tao Wan.
But she didn't expect that the other party would be so mean.
On the eve of the Tao Zhong battle, he dug her into Tao Wan's corner.
"No wonder Huang Hezi didn't show up at today's meeting."
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
A handsome man below frowned and asked: "In this case, when the battle for Taoism begins, Wanwan, your ranking will probably fall to the bottom."
Tao Wan doesn't like others calling her so affectionately.
But Qi Lingyun is the helper she relies on most now. In the first round, she still needs the opponent to take action to block the enemy.
Therefore, she often had to endure the displeasure in her heart.
"I don't care if my ranking drops. The worst thing I can do is move up from the bottom."
"What I'm afraid of is not being able to get into one of the nine."
Qi Lingyun smiled and said, "That's too much to worry about. Even if you can't pass this round of alchemy, you can still rest assured in my round."
The opponent is at the eighth level of foundation building and is very powerful.
Confidence speaks for itself!
Tao Wan nodded to him, acquiescing to his statement.
But after everyone left, she made a decisive decision.
"Yisheng, follow me out of the sect tomorrow and go to Tianlan Immortal City!"
Tao Yisheng, who had been waiting outside the cave for a long time, rushed in in surprise.
"Sister, have you finally figured it out?"
"Nothing is unreasonable. Originally, I planned for you to invite Na Luo Chen over to see how good it is."
Tao Wan sighed.
"It's just that Huang Hezi rebelled and I have no available alchemists. Those two second-level alchemists are in name only. They just passed the theoretical examination and are far from your current alchemy level."
"In this case, to show that I take it seriously, it would be better for me to go there in person."
Tao Yisheng nodded repeatedly, "Luo Chen's alchemy skills are definitely not worse than Huang Hezi's, so you must treat him politely!"
"Do you have that much confidence in him?"
Tao Wan couldn't help but ask. She had never seen her brother respect someone so much.
Tao Yisheng patted his chest, "The reason why I am worthy of my current title as a second-level alchemist is because of his guidance! On this point, except for those third-level alchemists, no one in the sect can make me Believe it more.”
"Luo Chen, he has his own merits!"
Tao Wan blinked, and her original mood of treating a dead horse as a live doctor gradually became more hopeful.
…
Dan indoor.
Fireworks are steaming and the fragrance of medicine is filling the air.
An icy force came out from the Ice Emperor Cauldron.
With a thought in his mind, Luo Chen waved his hand, and dozens of crystal-white elixirs fell into the ice tray.
After a brief inspection, he divided it into two places.
Among them, there are jade dew pills of different grades, middle grade and high grade.
This is what Luo Chen did deliberately.
Any elixir, after he reaches the master level proficiency, he can control the respective elixir level relatively stably.
For now, the cooperation with Ice Castle is limited to mid-grade Jade Dew Pills.
The target's revealed alchemy skills were enough for him to be taken seriously by the Jueqing lineage.
Exposed too much and it's easy to get into trouble.
The reason why Luo Chen refines some high-grade Jade Dew Pills from time to time.
One is to increase proficiency, and the other is to prepare cultivation elixirs for Sima Huiniang.
For normal foundation-building practitioners, pills are in great demand, but not that much.
The spiritual place is more important.
Because elixirs can produce erysipelas, it is better to take as little as possible if you have not practiced the corresponding poison-removing secret techniques.
Like Luo Chen, he takes one pill of practice every day and never stops.
But for normal foundation building, one might only be used in three days or five days.
Sima Huiniang was busy with Luo Tianhui's career and had less time to practice.
In this case, quantity was out of the question, so Luo Chen planned to satisfy her in terms of quality.
"After all, she is her own woman, so we can't wrong her in this regard."
He has always been generous to his friends.
There is no reason to be stingy with your own family.
Even if you can't give everything you have, you will still give the best within your ability.
Luo Chen divided the pills and estimated how long it would take before his proficiency in the Jade Dew Pill could reach the Great Perfection level.
"Refining it with all your strength will only take three or four months."
"Considering that we have to even out some of the middle-grade ones, the time will have to be doubled."
"It doesn't have much impact."
At present, just by refining the middle-grade Jade Dew Pill, after deducting the cost, you can make a small profit of 40,000 yuan a year.
Even if Sima Huiniang spent some money, she would still have twenty or thirty thousand left.
Compared with the previous situation where the income and expenditure were unbalanced and the Jade Dew Pill was sold at a huge loss, it was enough to satisfy Luo Chen.
This isn't a huge gain.
But if you consider what Luo Chen has gained through this business.
That's a lot of money.
Once you accept the setting that Luo Tianhui is Ice Castle's die-hard vassal, the situation is actually not that bad, but has a lot of benefits.
At least for now, all kinds of businesses are going smoothly without any obstacles.
There are many small sects who want to be vassals of Ice Castle, but they are not qualified yet.
Out of the alchemy room.
Bai Meiling was waiting outside, holding a transmission talisman in her hand.
"Master, this was sent to the cave just now."
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows and reached out to take the transmission note. After stimulating it with spiritual energy, the transmission note spontaneously ignited without wind.
Tao Yisheng's warm voice appeared in his ears.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. If you are free recently, fellow Taoist, please come to Yiwu Cave Mansion to catch up."
"My younger brother, Tao Yisheng, is always waiting for you."
The corners of Luo Chen's mouth raised slightly.
In the end I still couldn’t bear it anymore!
He did not go to see Tao Yisheng immediately.
Instead, after cleaning up unhurriedly, he entered the cave filled with spiritual energy and began to practice quietly.
After the hundred meridians have been connected, although today's cultivation is more tiring than before.
But every time after practicing, the joy of harvest is really addictive.
It turns out that sometimes, practicing this thing is really addictive!
As for the Tao Wan siblings?
Everyone has something to ask for!
If this is the case, then he, Luo Chen, will wait for the price and seize the initiative as much as possible!
