Chapter 624: Chapter 261: The Day He Attacks Me, Is the Day I Regain My Dao Heart_1
Deep into the night.
Luo Chen had returned to his dwelling at Tianlan Peak.
Bai Meiling had already prepared dinner for him.
It consisted of second-order demon beast meat and high-quality second-order spirit rice purchased specifically for him by Sima Huiniang. Even the side dish of vegetables possessed spirit qi.
In the past, Luo Chen focused on his cultivation and pill refinement, often neglecting his meals.
On some days, he would eat only once.
Even when he got busy, he barely ate or drank much, as once a cultivator reached foundation establishment, they could survive by ingesting spirit qi, a form of simple grain avoidance.
However, Luo Chen had now resumed regular meals.
At least for now, he had to do so.
The simulation from the Ghost God Heart Inquiry Mirror had greatly damaged his yuan qi from over-exertion.
The aftereffects were severe.
He had noticed something amiss when he attended the auction earlier that day.
His thoughts were scattered, and he could not control his emotions freely.
He often got startled by things, experiencing highs and lows.
Especially when facing the Golden Core Ascendant Master in the end, he could not withstand even a bit of pressure.
“This is not a good state, I need to recuperate,” he thought.
After finishing his meal, Luo Chen asked Bai Meiling about her research progress on the Soul Gathering Banner.
Learning that there was no progress, he then proceeded to the quiet room.
Not for cultivation.
His current state was not suitable for that.
He took out a jade pendant and fondled it gently.
The Jueqing Fairy’s demand was extremely harsh for ordinary pill refiners.
From initially refining a new pill, to producing more than a thousand pills annually within ten years, it’s extremely difficult.
Especially since the Jade Dew Pill in question was one of the most challenging second-order pills to refine.
However, to him, this didn’t seem to be much of a problem.
With the Proficiency Panel, he could increase the success rate with some effort.
This was why he had dared to make such a huge demand, asking for a top-grade pill tripod and a second-order earth fire.
He had the confidence to meet the requirements.
He just didn’t expect that the other party would agree without further discussion.
“They’ve prepared the Pill Refining Insights, Ice Divine Jade, top-grade pill tripod, second-order earth fire, and even a second-order mansion for me.”
“It seems they really are in a desperate hurry!”
“Considering the appearance of the Yu Ding Sword Pill at the auction… Ice Castle might soon side with one of the factions and join the war.”
“However, these matters currently have no relevance to me.”
“Since they want me to provide a steady supply of Jade Dew Pills, they would undoubtedly protect me.”
A smile tugged at Luo Chen’s lips as he stashed the Ice Divine Jade temporarily into his storage bag.
The next matter would not be suitable to wear this jade.
He brought out an incense burner and a piece of tree core.
Luo Chen shaved off a small segment and put it into the incense burner.
A strand of Foundation Establishment True Fire slowly emitted from his fingertip.
Under the burn of the Foundation Establishment True Fire, the tree core of the Warm Sun Wood slowly lit up.
Smoke carrying an unusual pleasant fragrance floated out.
With a clear and serene mind, Luo Chen relaxed his brain and inhaled the smoke into his body without leaving a trace behind.
A warm feeling gradually filled his entire body.
Inside his vast Sea of Consciousness, it felt as if a tree was gradually spreading its branches and leaves under the warm sunlight.
The Warm Sun Fragrant Incense was used for restoring the divine soul.
Its speed was slow and its fragrance gentle.
…
Early the next morning.
Luo Chen woke up from the soft bed, stretched lazily, and went to the living room rubbing his eyes.
At this time, Bai Meiling was still sleeping in the Ghost Mill.
She was rarely an early riser.
Without casting any Cleaning Technique, Luo Chen simply cleaned his face with some water.
He opened the array and stepped outside the mansion.
The cool morning breeze carrying moisture hit his face. A silhouette stood quietly outside.
Min Longyu.
Luo Chen was not surprised at this sight. He had asked Sima Huiniang to inform Min Longyu to come over yesterday, except he didn’t expect the latter to arrive this early.
One could imagine how anxious he must have felt when he found out that Luo Chen had bestow the Foundation Establishment Pill from the auction to Sima Huiniang.
However, his “anxiousness” seemed to be just superficial!
“President!”
“Don’t worry. Let me complete a set of exercises first.”
Min Longyu was about to say something, but on hearing Luo Chen’s words, he had to stop.
Under his watch, Luo Chen started practicing a set of fist movements while facing the rising sun.
This was a set of health-preserving fist movements from the “Secret Manual of the Wang Family,” named the Five Viscera Health Preserving Fist.
It did not emphasize on strength, but was more of a way to maintain the meridians and five viscera and nourish the five Qi.
Wang Yuan learned it in his childhood. After acquiring the Grandmaster Martial Path, he adjusted it numerous times.
After stepping into the Immortal Path, he incorporated the concept of spirit qi nourishing from Qi Refinement Techniques.
By sticking to his practice, Wang Yuan then developed techniques such as “Five Qi Return” and “Five Qi Return.”
Luo Chen had delved into those techniques, but with a weak foundation, he couldn’t learn them yet.
However, practicing more has its advantages.
Once he finished the set of fist movements.
Luo Chen took a glimpse at the attribute panel.
[Wang Family’s Secret Manual Proficiency 147/200]
Heh!
He hadn’t noticed before.
Unknowingly, he had gained a small level, giving him an additional Achievement Point.
He had broken a sweat.
After a casual flick, the Cleaning Technique was cast, and Luo Chen felt clean and refreshed again.
He slowly walked to a distance of ten feet across Min Longyu.
Under the latter’s pleading gaze, Luo Chen casually asked, “Are you here for the Foundation Establishment Pill?”
Min Longyu hurriedly nodded.
Ever since Sima Huiniang won the Foundation Establishment Pill, he had been asking her to give it to him first.
But Sima Huiniang said they should wait for Luo Chen to return from seclusion to decide who gets the pill.
