Luo Chen faintly had so enlightennt in his heart.
What about himself back then?
By calculation, after achieving sothing at each stage, he actually indulged himself to ease his mood.
He established power, controlled great authority, he commanded thousands of followers to do his bidding, eliminating sects and cutting down mountains with just a word.
Caiyi Hui Niang, two beauties by his side, revered by their Ascendant Master, and admired and respected by those below.
These experiences allowed Luo Chen to persist in his arduous cultivation unremittingly, hence he could enjoy it tirelessly.
People need to see positive feedback!
But many people do not receive enough of it.
And now, Xu Muxian’s situation is actually the normal state of many low-level immortal cultivators.
When they see no hope in grasping the Great Dao Path, they choose to give up and turn to do so comfortable things.
Traveling around the world, appreciating the landscape.
Spreading their family line, passing down their lineage.
If not for the Holy Land Sect’s regulations, countless numbers of Qi Refinent fellows would probably escape into the mundane world, enjoying a lavish life every day.
Thinking about these, Luo Chen reflected on himself.
If he did not have an Attribute Panel that showed the increase in Proficiency all the ti, what would he eventually beco?
Would he fall into the lower pleasures, or...
Reflection, abruptly ended.
Luo Chen gave a wry smile, weren’t these hypotheticals proven many years ago?
That was his first ti using Tongyou Pill.
Communication with Unknown Dream, enhancing the Divine Soul.
In such a dream, he had no system, but still, desiring to improve his Pill Refinent Technique to change his fate, he repeatedly joined Broken Mountain Gang, mined to earn Spirit Stones for pill refinent... until finally, he successfully concocted the Allure Pill which could change his own fate.
Although in that dream, he was already old and frail, his Qi-Blood depleted.
But with a pill technique he could be proud of, even if he could not reach the Foundation Establishnt Stage in the future, he could improve his cultivation environnt.
Towards the Dao Heart, deeply rooted in the soul!
Xu Muxian quietly stood there, watching his younger-looking ntor, and his heart felt much lighter.
So words, if pressed in the heart for too long, could cause sickness.
Although he thought his ntor might be furious, just being displeased already made him feel much better.
Perhaps, he had disappointed his ntor though!
Suddenly, a hand rested on his shoulder and gently patted twice.
The man with a serene expression and gentle gaze slowly spoke.
"I cannot assert whether you can achieve Core Formation, but I know that five hundred years can allow you to see more of the scenery and enjoy more pleasures. The re Flying Swallow Islands is just a corner; staying here you remain a frog in the well."
"Don’t you want to leap out and see the wider world?"
After speaking, Luo Chen withdrew his hand and left freely.
In the end, he did not solve his disciple’s confusion, but rely offered the wavering Xu Muxian a future to imagine.
Xu Muxian remained standing there, his expression still vacant, but murmuring as if existentially:
"A wider world..."
...
After returning to his residence, Luo Chen felt sowhat regretful.
If only the Ghost God Heart Asking Mirror was still here.
Combined with the Illusion Technique Mirror Flower, Water Moon, he could have easily chosen a more suitable path for Xu Muxian.
Would the other party listen to him?
After listening, if he made an effort but ended up achieving nothing, would he resent his irresponsible teacher?
For these questions, Luo Chen rely pondered a bit before pushing them out of his mind.
After all, it was just a registered disciple.
...
As Xu Muxian said, a hundred years is just a fleeting mont.
The ti Luo Chen spent on the Flying Swallow Islands, amidst his day to day cultivation and poor pill refinent living, was also rapidly passing.
Between monts, three years flashed by, almost a re daze.
In these three years, Luo Chen’s collection of elixirs grew trendously.
Even though due to the isolated terrain of the Flying Swallow Islands and the different environnts from the North Sea and Eastern Wasteland making many herbs hard to collect, Luo Chen still managed through so modifications to refine various elixirs he knew.
To outsiders, he was a Third Order Pill Refiner.
But on the system panel, he was already a true Fourth Order Pill Refiner, well-versed in classics, mastering dicine theory, and various pill techniques at his fingertips.
First Order, Second Order pill formulas; even without the proper herbs, through experint after experint, he could find substitutions.
Fasting Elixir, Tongyou Pill, Jade Dew Pill, Emperor Liquor, Starry Pill, True Fla Pill...
Three years’ ti, Luo Chen’s pockets were full.
The price was the great suffering of the clans on the Flying Swallow Islands, their resources squeezed to the limit.
Yet everyone dared not to speak their anger.
The authority of a Demon Monarch, unbearable to challenge!
...
One day.
Cheng Haixin sent a gilt invitation!
In the hall, Luo Chen looked at the gilt invitation, revealing a mont of realization.
"No wonder there’s this ten-year duration."
On the invitation was detailed information about a major auction event, the ti, location, and a list of precious materials specially marked.
This invitation was brought back by the Flying Swallow rchant Team from the outside, especially delivered by soone ordered by Wu Qi from Wu Shen Island.
Cheng Haixin explained on the side, "Feileng City is located on Coldlight Island. Coldlight Island is the foremost super-large island in the southeast of the North Sea, with countless cities on it and various powers mixed."
"Overall, this place leans more towards a neutral zone."
Luo Chen puzzled, "Neutral? Shouldn’t it be under the control of the Canghai Alliance?"
Cheng Haixin shook his head, "It’s not like that. As the biggest city on Coldlight Island, Feileng City is the strongest among many forces. The city lord Feileng Fairy had old ties with a Nascent Soul True Master from Yuan Mo Sect early on. It was also with the help of that Yuan Mo Sect True Master that she could monopolize Feileng City. Thus, even though the Demon Sect has perished, in the eyes of outsiders, she still belongs to the remnant of the Demon Sect... The lineage of the Demon Sect. The Canghai Alliance tried to incorporate her in the early years, but she refused."
