Half a month later.
Beyond the Golden Sands Floating Island.
Luo Chen looked at the endless yellow sand outside the floating island, which could not be seen with his spiritual eyes, and a trace of melancholy could not help but appear in his eyes.
This seemingly peaceful yellow sand wasteland swallows up countless monks' lives every day.
Tomorrow, I will also set foot on the battlefield!
While he was sighing, there were footsteps behind him.
"President, Yuan Xiaoyue and the others are ready."
Luo Chen turned around and watched the monks embarking on the Langqi Flying Boat under the leadership of Yuan Xiaoyue and Qin Liangchen.
Li Yingzhang stood beside him. Three days ago, Luo Chen had completely removed all the earthly fire evil energy from his body.
Now, although the opponent's foundation is slightly damaged, there is no problem with normal practice.
"Be careful along the way, and make good use of the head of the Foundation Establishment Stage Tribulation Cultivator."
"Yeah, I know."
"After you go back, follow the prescription of the doctor in Qingdan Valley and take ten more medicines. You seem to be better now, but some injuries caused by the erosion of evil spirits cannot be solved by my magic, so you have to rely on medicine."
"Thank you, President, for your concern. Yingzhang will keep it in mind."
"Over there at Luo Tianhui... just listen to the president. I can rest assured that she will handle the matter!"
Li Yingzhang nodded heavily.
He had already remembered Luo Chen's every word in his heart.
In the end!
Luo Chen smiled and said: "If you have a chance, I will definitely find your Li family's Chilong sword."
Li Yingzhang shook his head quickly: "The president gave me the Jiuqu Spiritual King, which is already a great gift from heaven. How can I ask for it? President, you don't need to take risks for this."
Luo Chen smiled and said nothing more.
After all, the Chilong Sword is different from other magic weapons.
It was not only the family heirloom of the Li family, but also the sword that his old friend Li Jinhuang wore during his lifetime.
That’s fine if there’s no chance.
If he encounters it, he will try to get it back no matter what.
"Okay, get on the boat, they are waiting for you."
Li Yingzhang looked up and saw that the Langqi flying boat had started slowly, and a layer of aura light shield was gradually covering the boat.
Compared to the previous time, a large amount of material was reproduced, so that the flying boat was extremely large and flew extremely slowly.
When we returned, it was mostly empty.
There are only some precious materials that Yuan Xiaoyue collected from the Ice Castle, and she plans to bring them back to Tianlan Fairy City for sale.
You can’t go back empty-handed!
Therefore, when we returned, the flying boat had shrunk to ten feet long, which was comparable to the length of a high-grade flying boat.
With such length and width, the flying speed is also the best!
When encountering an irresistible enemy, you can escape faster.
Li Yingzhang jumped up and boarded the flying boat.
Together with Qin Liangchen and Yuan Xiaoyue, they turned around and looked at Luo Chen.
"President, see you next year!" Qin Liangchen shouted.
"President, you must be safe!" Yuan Xiaoyue waved goodbye.
Luo Chen didn't say anything.
He just nodded at them.
Under his gaze, the Langqi flying boat slowly took off.
Then, fly away from the yellow sand area thousands of miles away.
In his sight, the huge flying boat gradually turned into a small black dot, until Luo Chen could no longer see it.
A feeling of sadness came to mind.
Luo Chen turned around and walked slowly back along the street.
When he reached the center of the floating island, he stopped.
In that circular square, there stood a huge white stone tablet, with lines of golden fonts emerging on it.
Merit list!
The monks of the four sects are not above it. They have their own internal way of calculating merit.
This stone tablet mainly records the achievements of their respective vassal forces and some casual cultivators on the battlefield.
Therefore, the main body above is either the name of a force or the name of an individual cultivator.
This meritorious service is not just for good reputation, but has a real effect!
You can use your meritorious deeds to go to Luoyun Sect, the leader of the four sect alliances, to exchange for corresponding resource treasures!
For example, the first-level elf elixir that is urgently needed by monks in the late stage of Qi refining, or the precious foundation-building elixir.
Other precious elixirs are also available for exchange.
At least Luo Chen saw a medium-grade light-containing pill on it that was suitable for his cultivation.
It is said that this is a specialty cultivation elixir of Luoyun Sect. It is not inferior to the second-level elixir of Yaowang Sect and Qingdan Valley. It was refined by Fairy Mu Yunyan, the chief alchemist of Luoyun Sect.
The middle-grade second-level cultivation elixir is extremely tempting to ordinary foundation-building practitioners!
But Luo Chen doesn't like it at the moment.
The top-grade Shenglong Pill given to him by Tao Wan of Qingdan Valley is still in steady supply.
Before drug resistance develops, Luo Chen has no intention of changing his main pill.
In addition to elixirs, there are many resources provided by the four sect alliances.
Magical weapons, talismans, elixirs, secret techniques, and the most coveted Luoyun Sect puppets among the monks!
For puppets of the same level, there are even third-level puppets available for exchange!
If you can exchange for such a good thing, then it is not an exaggeration to say that you can go sideways during the foundation building period.
It is precisely because there are so many good things on it.
So much so that the rankings on the merit list cannot be used to determine who has made more contributions.
It's simple. Each vassal is worried that the resources above are limited.
Therefore, people who earn a little merit are often exchanged as much as possible, so as not to end up with empty merit but without the resources they want.
The same goes for Luo Tianhui!
In the past two years, all the merit earned has been exchanged for Foundation Establishment Pills!
Redeemed three in total!
Currently, there are only a hundred merit points left on it.
As a result, Luo Tianhui's ranking is only in the middle and lower levels, just a little higher than the partial construction foundation.
"After I get back, I want to ask Xu Huanzhen carefully how this meritorious service is calculated."
Luo Chen's eyes fell on the stone tablet, becoming as familiar as possible with each of the vassals of the four sect alliances.
There were also several forces he was familiar with above.
For example, Lianyun Business Alliance ranked nineteenth.
Luojia in Luochafang City, Chenjia in Tianyifang City, Bailianshan, Changliuxia Changjia, and Weijia in Xuchenshan.
These are all second-rate forces in Tianlan Immortal City or near Tianlan.
In the past half month, several foundation-building cultivators took the initiative to visit him.
They may be exchanging cultivation experiences, or worrying about the development of future wars, etc.
Some of them have not been seen yet, or they are in seclusion to recuperate, or they have not come down from the Nine Mountains of Ji Lei.
But so many familiar people and forces gathered here still made Luo Chen feel dazed.
It's as if he is still in Tianlan Immortal City!
But the cruel fact told him that this was the Golden Sands Floating Island!
It is the base camp of the four sect alliances on the thousands of miles of yellow sand!
After the war is over, it is unknown whether any of these familiar forces will be able to return alive.
Unexpectedly, all the few foundation-building cultivators of a certain force died on the battlefield.
Instead, the land in their hometown will be occupied by others.
"Perhaps at the dead end, all the major businesses will be happier and can collect rent again!"
Luo Chen never hesitated to speculate on these golden elixir masters with the greatest malice.
in their eyes.
A vassal force is nothing at all.
As long as one's own sect does not fall, the vassals under his command are like weeds. If they are gone today, others will take the initiative to attach themselves to them in a while.
Just like Luo Tianhui back then, Luo Chen took the initiative to climb onto the ice castle!
Because Luo Chen had been standing under the merit list for a long time.
Slowly, someone noticed him.
His appearance and deeds are no stranger to Jinsha Floating Island these days.
Most people know his face, or have heard of his name Dan Chenzi!
Luo Chen's spiritual consciousness is powerful, even if he doesn't deliberately eavesdrop.
However, there were some lower-level monks nearby, and their sound transmissions could not escape Luo Chen's ears.
"That senior is Dan Chenzi, right?"
"Yes, just standing there, Yuan Tingyuezhi looks like a master. He is worthy of being a leader among casual cultivators!"
"We are also casual cultivators, and we don't know if we can reach his level in this life. Not to mention becoming famous in the Jade Cauldron Domain, we can also create a force like the Luo Tianhui, and we can do whatever we want."
"Haha, I'm afraid you are overthinking this. Although the Luo Tianhui is just an ordinary second-rate force, the strong ones in the group are not weak to the true disciples of the great sects. For example, the thunderous formation used the power of the initial stage of foundation building to kill the five major sects of the same level. Do you think you can conquer such talented people? I’m afraid it’s hard to do it even for yourself!”
"Well...life is already very difficult. Brother Tao, please stop being so mean."
"Ha ha!"
There was a rustling sound in his ears, and Luo Chen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
It was only in this half month that he realized that Min Longyu had actually made a Taoist call.
In other words, Min Longyu may not even know that he has the nickname "Lei Zhenzi"!
This honorific title gradually spread after a long time after he left.
Five thunders were deployed to blast the top of the formation, killing five monks of the same level with one person's power.
With such impressive achievements and the fact that he was an array master, it was natural that some people would brag about him.
Actually!
Luo Chen finally understood why when he came here, he found that the Luo Tianhui monks who had suffered a defeat showed no sign of decline.
It is even said that the mental state is far better than other forces.
All the reasons stem from the night attack launched by the Flame Alliance in the Seventh Mountain.
In that night attack, the Four Sects Alliance suffered heavy losses.
Many vassal forces suffered an astonishing 70% damage.
In comparison, less than half of Luo Tianhui's people died. Although some of the three major foundations in the club were seriously injured and some were missing, there were no casualties in the end.
Instead, he achieved the result of killing dozens of Qi Refining Stage monks and killing five Foundation Establishment monks on the spot.
According to subsequent rumors, among the people who were chasing Wang Yuan, two monks who were in the middle stage of foundation building also died.
With such glorious results, how could the Luo Tianhui monks not be proud and high-spirited?
Luo Tianhui's defeat was not a crime of war.
It was the decline of the general trend that caused them to retreat together.
On the local battlefield, Luo Tianhui was actually victorious.
Of course, these vassal forces like them only care about such details, and the Four True Traditions naturally disdain them.
Luo Chen looked at the merit list for a while, showing little interest.
Except for the puppets, Hanguang Pills, and Foundation Establishment Pills brought out by Luoyun Sect, he had no interest in other resources.
Perhaps other ordinary foundation-building monks will follow suit.
But in front of his level of wealth, it is really not attractive to him.
"Since there is nothing particularly worthy of my interest, and nothing that will be of great benefit to Luo Tian. Then there is no need to exert great force on the battlefield to gain meritorious service."
"When you see that the situation is not right, retreat immediately. This is the wise way to protect yourself!"
This is the purpose of Luo Chen's study of the merit list.
Since he didn't come up with anything to tempt him, the combat strategy had to be changed.
Unlike other forces, they must make great efforts.
Because of his own reasons, the Ice Castle side will definitely treat him leniently, and no one will blame him for fishing.
…
The moon rises, the sun rises, and time passes.
Soon, the next day came.
When he woke up early in the morning, Luo Chen felt the state of his body and couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Half a month later, he opened twenty ordinary acupoints one after another.
In addition, during the Qi refining period, the thirty-six large acupoints were opened long ago.
In this way, fifty-six orifices were opened.
Although there haven't been any earth-shaking changes yet, he did feel a little different.
That is spiritual power reserve and conversion efficiency!
Dantian Qihai can actually be regarded as an acupoint in the human body. However, due to its special location and the result of the practice, its volume is much larger than other acupoints.
And it is still being developed and expanded.
Now that I have developed the ordinary acupoints, they can be regarded as miniature versions of the Dantian.
These acupoints can store a large amount of ordinary spiritual power that has not been purified.
In this way, the spiritual power reserve is increased!
At the same time, because of these spare spiritual powers, the refining efficiency will be greatly improved during the operation of the technique.
"If I can open seven hundred and twenty acupoints, it will be almost equivalent to opening a second sea of qi in the body!"
"My own spiritual power is seven or eight times more powerful than that of the same level. With the sixth level of the foundation, I am not inferior to the later great monks. If all the seven hundred and twenty orifices are opened and the double sea of qi is added, I am afraid that once I enter the foundation With the seventh level of foundation, your spiritual power can catch up with those who have the eighth or ninth level of foundation!"
"It's even better to be comparable to the Dzogchen monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage!"
Thinking of the future, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel excited.
This kind of improvement is no longer limited to the speed of cultivation.
It will also directly affect his fighting skills.
Sure enough, my previous decision was correct.
Cultivation is a grind, and it takes time to endure.
But at every step, he was able to draw parallels and learn from each other's strengths. He could not only move faster than others, but also be more solid than others!
And when he was daydreaming about the future.
The monks of Luo Tianhui have already been dispatched one by one. Under the command of Duan Feng, they are inspecting magic weapons, talismans, seals and other preparations for battle.
He even said that it was not just Luo Tianhui.
The nearby Ice Castle Camp and the entire Golden Sand Floating Island seemed to come alive.
Loud sounds came from all directions.
There are also many escaping lights, led by powerful foundation-building cultivators, flying out of the Golden Sand Floating Island and entering the range of thousands of miles of yellow sand.
Half an hour passed in an instant.
Suddenly!
A squad of a hundred people flew towards Luo Tianhui.
Seeing this, Luo Chen stepped forward to greet him.
"Are you all ready?"
Tantai Xun asked while looking at the one hundred monks from Luo Tianhui.
Although they were the monks from Douzhan Hall who were added later, they were all full of energy and had a fierce look on their faces.
It can be seen that this is also a team that has experienced many battles.
"There's no problem." Luo Chen smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "On this trip, I have to rely on fellow Taoist Tantai to take care of me."
"Well, let's go then!"
Tantai Xun nodded and waved his hand.
Immediately, the two teams merged into one team, but they were also clearly differentiated, male and female.
Not just their side.
At the Ice Castle Camp, four more teams quickly gathered together.
Compared with the total number of people in Tantaixi, there are only 200 people, and the other four teams all have as many as 300 or 400 people.
There are more than them here!
From this, it can also be seen that what Master Yin Yue said to Luo Chen was not false, and the Jueqing lineage was indeed weak.
"Set off!"
A loud voice sounded.
Then thousands of monks, either controlling magical weapons or riding clouds and fog, flew into the deserted land of thousands of miles of yellow sand, flying towards the nine high mountains in the center that were always shrouded in thunderclouds.
Blessed by colorful spiritual powers, this large team of monks quickly merged with the large armies of monks from the other three sects.
Thousands of escaping lights merge together, the wind howls, and the clouds roll in.
If seen from a distance.
Just like mayflies emitting shimmering light, they are rushing towards the unknown world of life and death, where there is great terror!
