In the sky, a flying boat pushed through the clouds and flew slowly.
In the flying boat, Luo Chen briefly counted Miao Wen's inheritance.
The other party has been operating in Dahefang for many years and has a considerable fortune.
Even though he is much inferior to Luo Chen, who now carries a net worth of nearly 10 million, he is much richer than an ordinary foundation-building true cultivator.
In terms of spiritual stones alone, there are as many as 200,000!
It doesn't sound like much, but Miao Wen's identity is just that of a sect deacon in the early stages of foundation building.
In addition to spiritual stones, the most abundant are various rare materials.
Second-order, third-order, and even several fourth-order mineral materials.
For example, Luo Chen has accumulated a lot of Tongxuan Tianjing in his hands, and Miao Wen has three pieces in his storage bag!
If the value of this material is calculated comprehensively, it is roughly around hundreds of thousands.
However, apart from spirit stones and materials, there are relatively few other resources.
There are only a few talismans, most of which are transmission talismans, cleaning talismans, invisibility talismans, etc. that are commonly used in daily life.
The quality of the elixir is quite good, and it looks like it is at the second-level mid-grade level.
There isn’t much in terms of techniques and formations.
The reason for this serious partiality is easy to guess.
Sword cultivator!
Apart from what is needed for cultivation, there are usually not many other resources on the body.
But even so, Miao Wen's net worth is extremely rich.
Some of the true disciples of major sects are far inferior to him.
"It's no wonder that Miao Wen wants to stay in Dahefang even if he spends a lot of money to unclog the upper echelons of the Sword Sect. This is indeed a good place to collect all kinds of rare resources and grab wealth, and it will not be subject to the supervision of the sect. "
The sky is high and the emperor is far away, there is nothing better than this.
Luo Chen held a box in his hand, opened it, looked at it, and then carefully put it away.
Seven-star sky lantern fruit!
Third-level elixirs are especially valuable compared to most fourth-level materials.
The reason is that this spiritual fruit can prolong life.
Six of the seven stars have shone brightly, which is enough to increase your life span by eighteen years!
This thing is also a treasure that he needs very much.
Back then, in order to refine the Withering Fire, a hundred years of life were actually extracted.
Although Luo Chen's practice progressed rapidly and he didn't seem to be in a hurry, but when he thought about it occasionally, the sense of urgency was still like a sharp sword hanging above his head.
This Seven-Star Sky Lantern Fruit came at just the right time, giving Luo Chen a little more confidence.
After putting away the life-enhancing treasure, Luo Chen took out another item from the Miao Wen storage bag.
A magic weapon.
Qimen magic weapon!
A palm-sized disc with purple and gold crescent moons engraved on it.
Inject a little spiritual energy.
Uh-huh!
Sharp and ferocious blades suddenly protruded from the edge of the disk.
As he fiddled with his fingers, the disk began to rotate in front of him, and there was a faint appearance of more spiral moon flying disks about to emerge.
Luo Chen thought and took back his spiritual power.
"The Sky and Moon Purple Gold Wheel, I didn't expect that after going round and round, it would eventually come back to my hands."
That's right, this magic weapon is the first one Luo Chen has seen since he started practicing.
It was released at the Dahefang Jiange auction that year, and was bought by Mi Shuhua at a high price of 80,000 spiritual stones!
Later, the treasure was seized by the casual cultivator Jin Danzong, who was secretly hired by the Lianyun Merchant Alliance, and was captured by Pang Renxiong during the Lancang River Battle.
The powerful sword cultivator did not care about such foreign objects and gave them to Miao Wen. The other Lanke chess pieces were given to Luo Tianhong.
But I didn't expect that things have changed and people have changed.
Forty years have passed, both the incomplete Lanke Black Chess and the Tianyue Purple Gold Wheel have fallen into Luo Chen's hands.
"Miao Wen didn't spend much time refining this thing, and the marks on it are easy to remove."
"But if I want to completely refine this treasure and operate it as I please, I'm afraid it will cost me a lot of energy."
Luo Chen looked at the disc flywheel in his hand hesitantly.
Finally, I set my sights in the direction of Yuanci Valley in Jueyun Mountain.
"In just one thought, I buried you with your clan, but I also got the magic weapon you spent so much effort to photograph during your lifetime. Is this considered a gift?"
"Let's make plans after we go back!"
Luo Chen has no shortage of magic weapons.
The number of magic weapons he possesses is unimaginable in the world of immortal cultivation.
He once owned more than thirty flying sword magic weapons alone.
However, most of them were given to Min Longyu by him and asked to be buried in Danxia Peak as the eye of the mountain guarding formation.
It can be said that after building the foundation, Luo Chen never worried about ordinary magic weapons.
Naturally, such treasures would not arouse much fluctuation in his mind.
The reason why I look at the Tianyue Purple Gold Wheel in a different light is firstly because of Mi Shuhua's origins, and secondly because this treasure is valuable and may have miraculous effects.
After some inventory, Luo Chen basically digested Miao Wen's legacy.
Finally, it was the jade slip written in handwriting in front of the other party.
A simplified version of the Sword Sect's "Hui Jian Shu" - "Ding Feng Bo".
As a reward for letting the other party die with dignity, Miao Wen took the initiative to unlock the seal of the storage bag before his death and wrote down a secret technique that would help him practice.
The Sword Sect only cultivates swords, and does not use foreign objects or stagnate other methods.
But in this way, it is easy to cause various shortcomings in practice. After all, you cannot use stones from other mountains to attack jade.
In view of this, the sages of the Sword Sect created a set of secret techniques to help practice.
One of the secret techniques, "Wisdom Sword Technique", can place the essence and spirit on a sword, thereby allowing the state of mind to reach the state of clear sword heart.
Once you reach this state, you will not only practice quickly, but you will also be able to kill external demons with your smart sword.
Especially when you break through a big realm, it has miraculous effects!
In the eyes of outsiders, this technique is not a secret technique for breaking through the realm, but it is still a secret technique for breaking through the realm!
It is a pity that Miao Wen no longer specializes in swordsmanship, so naturally he cannot practice "Hui Jian Shu".
But he couldn't bear to part with the unique effect of this sword sect's secret technique.
Therefore, based on my own situation, I improved a "Ding Feng Bo".
When this technique is practiced to perfection, its effect will not be half as good as that of "Wisdom Sword Technique", but it is also simpler to practice, and it is not limited to "sword" objects. It can also be replaced by other physical objects.
The reason why Miao Wen was able to fight with the remaining acquaintance of the ghost king in Yuanci Valley for forty years.
It was also because he practiced the art of "Calming the Wind and Waves".
It is even said that after forty years of struggle, his understanding of this technique has become deeper and deeper.
After writing the complete text in Luo Chen's handwriting, he bluntly stated that his improved version of "Ding Feng Bo", once practiced to perfection, would be about 70% as effective as "The Art of Wisdom Sword".
"I think you have the ambition to form an elixir. This technique may be able to help you, and it can also settle our past love and enmity."
"Luo Chen, I will use this technique to die in a dignified way."
Miao Wen's words before his death could still be vaguely heard.
Luo Chen carefully put the jade slip into the thunder-accumulating ring.
Whether this technique is authentic or not, whether it is hidden or not, he has not yet confirmed.
After all, his relationship with Miao Wen was not that good.
It is said that when a person is about to die, his words are good, but that does not apply to everyone.
After returning home, we should also consider the long-term research on this technique.
Suddenly.
Fei Zhou paused slightly.
Luo Chen stood at the head of the boat, his sharp eyes looking thousands of miles away.
The ghostly and ghostly building came into view instantly.
The scope has expanded several times compared with that of the past.
From the inner city to the shantytowns in the outer city, all the way west to the Lancang River.
The once-familiar Xieyue Valley, Xiaohuan Mountain, and Qingjiang Long Street have disappeared and been swallowed up.
but!
"Is it over just by coming here?"
As a third-level ghost king, the territory should not be limited to this extent.
Just when Luo Chen was confused, he suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
"Huh?"
"That is……"
In the line of sight, there is a line of escaping light, flying out from the other direction of the Guyuan Mountains.
They carried a huge monster, and they didn't know whether it was dead or alive, and then flew straight into the ghost.
After a long time, it slowly flew out.
With Luo Chen's eyesight, he could vaguely see the relieved expressions on those people's faces, as well as the badges on their bodies.
"Disciple of the Sword Sect!"
Luo Chen was shocked.
I don’t know why the Sword Sect disciples are doing what they are doing.
Logically speaking, it is a matter of course for the Jian Zong disciples to appear in Dahefang. It is even too late to say that they should have arrived a few decades ago.
They hadn't come before, so everyone just thought they were being dragged down by the Luoyun Sect.
Now it seems wrong.
These people sent a living second-level monster into the ghost world...
"Could it be that you are helping Pang Renxiong practice?"
The sudden thought shocked Luo Chen.
Then without any further delay, he concealed his aura and hurriedly left the Dahefang area in his flying boat.
…
Along the same road, Luo Chen ran all the way.
It once took several months, but this time he arrived at Tianlan Immortal City in only three days.
Along the way, we passed Taishanfang, Liuguangfang, Yuanzhaoguo and other old places.
However, Luo Chen did not disturb his old friend here, he just spread his spiritual consciousness and took a brief glance.
During this process, there was no disturbance.
Just like that, we stepped into Danxia Peak quietly and quietly.
In the main hall of Luo Tian.
Xing Zonghan received the edict and rushed back to report the information.
This trip didn't take long, only half a year.
But if you add in the time it took to prepare for the trip, it would have been almost ten years.
Therefore, the information collected by Xing Zonghan was extremely complicated.
"The goal of starting the war has been completely determined, and it is the Xiaoyue Mountains!"
"The initiator is the Luoyun Sect. In addition, in addition to the original five Yuanying Sects and the thirteen major sects, there are four more Yuanying Sects and five Jindan Sects who have decided to join the opening war. The following are the new ones who have joined the opening up war. List of sects, Shen Fu Sect, Five Elements Shen Sect, Fenghua Palace, Motian Cliff, Mengquan Cave, Huanzhu Tower..."
"With a total of nine Yuanying Sects and eighteen Golden Elixir sects, this battle is also called the twenty-seven sects attacking Xiaoyue together."
Twenty-seven sects attack Xiaoyue together?
This is no different from the sixteen factions who fought against Lianxia together four hundred years ago.
Above, Luo Chen silently recited the name of the newly joined sect.
The addition of the Divine Talisman Sect and the Five Elements Divine Sect was expected.
When the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect opened up the Lianxia Mountains, they got help from the Second Sect.
This time, in addition to the six extreme eastern sects, there were two more Nascent Soul sects, Fenghua Palace and Motianya.
An unexplored wild mountain range is indeed of great benefit.
But there's no need to provoke all nine Nascent Soul Sects to take action, right?
Moreover, those eighteen golden elixir masters are by no means soft persimmons.
As far as he knew, Mengquan Cave in Jiuhua Mountain was a famous golden elixir sect in the Fenghua Region. It was rich in various spiritual springs. Relying on the spiritual spring business, the monks in Mengquan Cave were quite wealthy.
Huanzhulou is not a weakling, but a well-known killer organization. It is said that there is a real Yuanying as a backer.
Then Liu Senzhai, rumors...
"With so many forces, Xiaoyue Mountain Range may not be enough!"
Luo Chen frowned deeply, wondering why so many people would join in starting a war at once.
A large number of people is naturally a great good thing for war.
But for the division of interests after the war, it is a huge bad thing.
The cake is so big. As the leader, Luoyun Sect, is it willing to take one point and twenty-seven points?
The Jade Cauldron Sword Sect has endured this for so many years, but they can no longer bear it.
He didn't believe that Master Han Zhan of Luoyun Sect was such a short-sighted person.
If it were him, he would rather lose more during the war than share as much as possible after the war.
One is just a short-term loss, but the latter is a long-term gain!
Suddenly!
Luo Chen thought of the scene where the White Bone Taoist Palace was located in the Snowy Mountains.
One Xiaoyue Mountain Range is not enough, but if there is one more Snow Mountain, it seems to be more than enough.
If Master Canglong succeeds in advancing to the Nascent Soul, and takes advantage of this general trend to launch a war to open up the ice castle at the same time, wouldn't these extra forces be put to good use?
If this guess is true.
Then it makes sense that Master Han Zhan is willing to personally take action to protect Master Canglong.
Of course, whether there is any old relationship between the two is not a secret that Luo Chen knows.
But if Master Canglong fails to advance to Nascent Soul...
Luo Chen pursed his lips and asked, "Gu Caiyi is in charge of the business at Ice Castle, right?"
Xing Zonghan nodded, "Yes, Palace Master Gu has always been in charge of this aspect."
"You send some of Luo Sheng's manpower to the caravan to regularly collect information on the ice castle, and then report to me."
Xing Zonghan was confused, "What kind of information?"
Luo Chen wanted to say something related to Zhenren Yuanying.
But when the words came to his lips, he changed to "all the information!"
In his opinion, if Master Canglong really succeeds in breaking through the situation, then the news will be released naturally, and there is no need to collect it deliberately.
If it fails...
"In addition, we can also start to open up the trade routes at Taishan Fang. I will explain this to Sima Huiniang. You can first send people to collect information on Liuguang, Taishan and Dahe Fang, and be prepared."
"yes!"
Xing Zonghan took the order and left.
Luo Chen's thinking gaze did not stop.
The scene over at Dahefang was still fresh in his memory.
Over the past few days, I have been thinking about it, vaguely pondering the truth behind why the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect has abandoned Pang Renxiong all these years.
The other party didn't ignore it, but let it go, deliberately providing time for the other party to switch to the ghost path!
Ghost cultivation is also a type of true cultivation of the Tao.
As long as he doesn't harm nature and kills people wantonly, he won't be marked as a demon cultivator.
But what Pang Renxiong has done over the years cannot be said to be any orthodox ghost cultivation method.
It is precisely because of this that the opponent's progress is extremely fast, and he has reached the level of the third-level ghost king in a short period of time, which is comparable to the golden elixir cultivation level before him.
The Jade Cauldron Sword Sect didn't care about it before, but it was difficult to manage.
Don't worry, the other party can't use quick fix methods so unscrupulously. After all, the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect still has the concept of eliminating demons and defending the Tao.
No matter, when the time comes, you can see the results directly.
Now the Jianzong sent foundation-building monks to assist Pang Renxiong in his cultivation.
Presumably, there is also the idea of ending this matter completely before the Forty Years of Pioneering War begins.
After all, there will be many people talking, and the monks from the outer sect will not care what the sword sect thinks, they will only shout to fight and kill.
When Luo Chen was sorting out this matter.
There were gradually more people in the hall.
Sima Huiniang and Duan Feng walked in.
"President, are you back? There were no twists and turns in this trip, right?" Sima Huiniang asked with concern.
With their perception, they still couldn't detect Luo Chen's current condition.
Luo Chen naturally reports good things but not bad things.
After some small talk, he mentioned the matter of opening up the trade route from Luo Tianhui to Taishanfang.
"Once the war of development begins, the four cities of Liuguang, Taishan, Dahe and Xuelian, which are adjacent to the Xiaoyue Mountains, will inevitably become the most important bridgeheads."
"The benefits involved are also immeasurable!"
"Our small sect of Luo Tianhui will definitely not be able to capture the majority of the profits, but it is always good to be one step ahead and seize some of the opportunities. Even if we get some soup and water by then, everyone will benefit from it!"
“So, it’s time to do this thing that has been mentioned for a long time.”
After hearing what he said, Sima Huiniang nodded heavily.
"I have the same idea, but because of the Luoyun Jade Cauldron Second Sect Law Enforcement Team, I have been suppressing this impulse."
Luo Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry about those rules. They only restrict the big forces above the Golden Core. Moreover, this time we are not taking action in the name of opening up trade routes."
Sima Huiniang was stunned for a moment.
"In what name?"
Luo Chen looked at Duan Feng who was standing aside.
"In the name of revenge!"
Duan Feng seemed to have realized this and nodded slightly, "I have a grudge against the Bai family of Liuguangfang. Now that I have achieved success in cultivation, it's time to avenge my father. No one can tell me good or bad."
Sima Huiniang suddenly understood and showed a bright smile.
"That's it, I'll make arrangements now!"
"No, you have to be more cautious." Luo Chen shook his head and mentioned his observations on the way back. "There are many smart people who have this idea. As far as I can see, there are already many foundation-building cultivators in Liuguangfang, and they are clearly the vanguard of other forces. Therefore, it is okay not to do this, but to do it It needs to be finalized.”
In front of the two of them, Luo Chen took out a picture scroll from his storage bag.
Duan Feng's eyes widened when he saw the scroll for the first time.
"This is……"
"It's time for your family heirloom to return to its original owner."
Luo Chen smiled and generously gave the defensive magic weapon Ze Guitu to Duan Feng.
A burst of spiritual power came to Duan Feng holding the scroll.
For a moment, the other party was a little excited and couldn't control himself.
After all, this is a defensive magic weapon!
It was the result of the combined efforts of several generations of his Duan family, plus some of the family's foundation from the beginning, that it was forged by chance.
In the world of cultivating immortals, it can also be sold for a very high price!
"Go back and refine this treasure carefully. It must be within ten years. You can simply use it."
"When the time comes to attack the Bai family in Liuguangfang, you will be in charge, Hui Niang and Xing Zonghan will be the assistants, and the monks from the Douzhan Hall will be under your control. If you have any other needs, you can also put them forward after you have thought of them over the years."
"I only have one request, to seize the Liuguangfang, occupy the land of my uncle's family, and create a separate hall for my Luo Tianhui Danxia Hall!"
Duan Feng nodded excitedly, then took the order and left.
After he left, Sima Huiniang looked at his back thoughtfully.
From behind, Luo Chen's joking voice came.
"Why, you see me giving him a water defense magic weapon, are you jealous?"
Sima Huiniang turned around and shook her head: "I don't go out often, and many battles have nothing to do with me. How can I be envious of such treasures? I was thinking, why do you value Liuguangfang so much?"
After thinking about it, she slowly came back to her senses.
"Are you interested in the barren aura environment of Liuguangfang?"
Luo Chen nodded appreciatively.
Once the opening up war begins, the benefits at the front will be huge, but if you want to convert some resources into white spiritual stones, you will have to rely on the thirty-six major regions at the rear!
So as the first few cities to come into contact with those resources, they naturally became the hub of business operations.
But whether it is Taishan Fang or Dahe Fang, they both have extremely excellent geographical environments.
That kind of good place is simply beyond the reach of Luo Tianhui.
It is estimated that the original landowners will be driven away.
On the contrary, Liuguangfang is rather special.
As a former mining town, the mineral veins here were over-excavated by the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, which damaged the spiritual veins and made the environment unsuitable for practice, so it was not favored by others.
In addition, since it is not bordering, most sects will not value it that much.
If Luo Tianhui can occupy this place in advance, relying on Luo Chen's good relationship with Luoyun Sect and Ice Castle, as well as his own strength, it may be able to stand.
If the Kang family is involved again, the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect will naturally become the brand name.
At that time, relying on this second-tier market, Luo Tianhui will be able to seize some opportunities that will not be envied by others.
certainly!
These things were just what Luo Chen thought of on his way back.
His next focus will definitely not be on these "petty profits."
"Hui Niang, I'm going to prepare the elixir!"
This simple sentence caused the woman to suddenly become short of breath.
She subconsciously asked: "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Luo Chen smiled slightly, "That's a bit much!"
The matter of forming elixirs is of great importance.
In particular, Luo Chen's qualifications were too dull, although Master Canglong gave a different view, which was well-founded.
But in the final analysis, he, Luo Chen, still has the Five Spiritual Root qualifications that monks in the world of cultivating immortals discard like worn-out shoes.
Therefore, if you want to form an elixir, you must achieve perfection in every aspect!
And this means that massive resources are needed!
Fortunately, Sima Huiniang, who is in charge of Luo Tianhui, can be of great help to Luo Chen when he is cultivating.
In front of the other party, Luo Chen proposed various resources needed.
Decoctions needed for healing, medicinal materials needed for refining cultivation elixirs, auxiliary elixirs related to breaking through the realm, blueprints for refining natal magic weapons, and even life-saving elixirs needed after the realm breaking fails, etc.
It just so happened that monks from many major regions in the Eastern Wasteland were gathering towards the Jade Cauldron Region in the name of starting a war.
With more people, resources will circulate.
Luo Tianhui can collect these things that Luo Chen wants relatively easily.
"Finally, I need a lot of monsters, both first-order and second-order ones, and they must be alive!"
After hearing the last request, Sima Huiniang couldn't help but nodded.
"That's no problem. We are also in the spirit beast business and have legitimate reasons to acquire them. Although the live ones are more troublesome, I can also find several channels to get them for you."
Seeing that she made a guarantee for every one of his needs.
Luo Chen couldn't help but sigh: "How can I ask for a wife like this? I'll trouble you this time."
"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask you. It's my duty to help you form the elixir." The woman looked at Luo Chen with tender eyes, and suddenly hesitated. "President, you will succeed!"
Forming a pill is a big deal, but it is also a challenge full of risks.
Once it fails, it may take decades to recover, or it may cause death on the spot.
It's no wonder that Sima Huiniang, who has always been calm and composed, expressed worry.
To this!
Luo Chen smiled confidently.
"must!"
