In regards to the journey to Oblivion Sea, there’s no room for carelessness.
Luo Chen plans to take this opportunity to push his Body Refinent to the next realm, though he’s unsure of the precise ti needed, his foundation is undoubtedly sufficient.
A significant amount of Fourth-Order Black Emperor Ointnt remains, along with the vast vitality absorbed from the battlefield at Oblivion Sea over the past year. He is fully confident to cross the final step.
Moreover, he has already started to further develop attack thods for his physique.
The Sky Roc True Body is indeed powerful, but it is direct and lacks variation.
This issue was exposed early during the battle with the Hundred Craft Mountain Master on Seven Star Island.
Previously, ti was delayed due to researching Senluo Fire Prison, but now, with free ti, it must be addressed.
Luo Chen’s solution is quite simple.
It is to learn from the strengths of various families!
And now he does possess the conditions to do so.
As a Seven-Star Demon Hunter, his permissions are far higher than before!
Sufficient to allow him to review more intelligence secrets collected by the Demon Hunter Bureau and even exchange a variety of cultivation technique secrets.
anwhile, he constantly keeps an eye on the situation over at Oblivion Sea.
...
The day after Luo Chen reported the arrival of the Fourth Order Demon Emperor at Oblivion Sea, Blood Independent Cultivator personally traveled to Oblivion Sea, using Great Divine Power to overpower Jiao Emperor Liu Jun, forcing him to flee Oblivion Sea and escape to the depths of North Sea.
Subsequently, the three Great Eight-Star Demon Hunters led fifty Golden Core cultivators from the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, tens of thousands of Foundation Establishnt True Cultivators, and countless Qi Refinent cultivators to sweep across Oblivion Sea, clearing the battlefield completely.
Moreover.
The three families of Wu Zhong Valley were ordered by Moon Independent Cultivator to dispatch elite mbers from their family sect to attack Tao Hai Ruins outside Ye Mo Sky.
To block and kill those Lower Order Demon Beasts trying to escape Ye Mo Sky at the entrance!
During this process, even the Supre Elder Master Yu Ling of Wu Zhong Valley personally took action, breaking through Tao Hai Ruins, and attempted to further reinforce the sealing array enveloping the outer area of Ye Mo Sky.
This entire intelligence report sounds simple, but when all of it reached Luo Chen’s ears, half a year had already passed.
In a heavily guarded hall of the Demon Hunter Bureau.
Luo Chen wandered between bookshelves, his eyes bright and keen, looking at ancient volus of classics.
At this mont, he held a green stone tablet in his hand, frowning as he looked at the introduction on it.
[Six Extre Mountain Techniques: The purest body technique killer moves of an Ancient Body Refiner, grade unknown, the most important Mountain Splitting Form and Extre Mountain Form are lost, only four killer moves remain. Body refiners use their physique to attain enlightennt on the changes in qi blood, achieving a flawless true body. Beyond the qi blood, the physique far surpasses the Qi Refiners. This set of body techniques emphasizes more on the utilization of the body rather than changes in qi blood. To practice it, one must possess a sufficiently powerful physique.]
Upon seeing that the six moves lack the strongest two, Luo Chen felt sowhat disappointed.
But after seeing the description that the body technique relies more on a powerful physique rather than changes in qi blood, Luo Chen’s eyes lit up.
"Indeed, it’s good, I’ll take it!"
Luo Chen took down the stone tablet and then wandered around the Book Collection Pavilion of the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering for half a day before coming to the first floor.
"Senior Qingyang Zi, have you finished selecting?"
"Hmm, these are them, could you help replicate them?"
"It’s no trouble, no trouble, let the junior have a look to estimate the approximate price first."
Luo Chen handed over a pile of jade slips, beast skins, and even that green stone tablet, the sheer number making the Foundation Establishnt cultivator guarding the Book Collection Pavilion’s eyelids twitch uncontrollably.
But seeing that most were Body Refinent Techniques, and many were incomplete, he wasn’t too surprised.
In the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, quite a few Golden Core cultivators, especially those at the late stage, exchange these kinds of classics during leisure.
The Foundation Establishnt cultivator examined them while referring to the illustrations set by the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, calculating the price.
Finally, the corresponding results were obtained.
["Wind, Moon, Thunder, Cloud Steps to Immortality", missing Wind Leg, Moon Step, and Cloud Shoes, only Thunder Kick remains, requires seventy thousand Spirit Stones for exchange.]
["Five Stele Hand" grade unknown, only Golden Stele Hand and Jade Stele Hand remain, requires twenty thousand Spirit Stones for exchange.]
["Six Extre Mountain Techniques" preserved fairly complete, four techniques total, requires one hundred twenty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones for exchange.]
["Cloudflow Divinity Plundering Finger" technique is intact but lacks so cultivation thods, requires...]
...
"Senior, a total of twelve sets of secret manuals requires seventy-eight hundred thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones." The Foundation Establishnt cultivator raised his head and stated the total price.
Luo Chen was sowhat surprised, "So expensive?"
The Foundation Establishnt cultivator chuckled, "Expensive is normal, nowadays the path of Qi Refinent is popular, the path of Body Refinent has long fallen. These Body Refinent Cultivation Technique books are scattered far and wide, very difficult to collect. Moreover, those of us in Qi Refinent often injure ourselves, and the Body Refinent thod has the effect of using the strengths of others to offset our own weaknesses, often borrowed by people, raising the price. Hope Senior can understand to so extent."
Luo Chen sighed with emotion, indicating understanding.
The body refinent doctrines are indeed hard to find in today’s Immortal Cultivation World.
Back when he and Wang Yuan practiced body refinent, they had to explore on their own. It was only with great effort they purchased a set of "Origin of Qi" at Tianlan Immortal City Auction, which could only serve as a reference.
Later, both he and Wang Yuan were forced onto the path of self-created body refinent thods.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering was able to collect so many high-order body refinent techniques and body technique killer moves, even if most are incomplete, is already extrely difficult.
"Alright, seventy-eight hundred thousand it is, here’s my waist tag, use it to get a discount!"
"Uh..."
The Foundation Establishnt Cultivator paused for a mont and took the waist tag.
Seven-star Demon Hunter, a seventy percent discount, which cos down to just a little over two hundred thousand.
Though amazed at the high star level, the cultivator had no objections, as he only collected a small fee for copying the cultivation technique, while the majority of the cost was a loss for the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering.
He simply ntioned it would take a bit of ti and requested Luo Chen to wait.
Luo Chen wasn’t in a hurry. After leaving so ti for the other party, he exited the Book Collection Pavilion and headed to another treasure house.
Shortly after, he returned with a full load, enthusiastically escorted by a Pseudo-Core Cultivator.
Three magical-treasure-grade Spirit Beast Bags had been obtained.
These were crafted by a Nascent Soul Stage Artifact Forging Master from the Canghai Alliance, ensuring quality.
Even the top Great Demon King could be contained within them—truly great treasures.
Moreover, Luo Chen also bought a bunch of casting materials.
Upon his return, the cultivator from the Book Collection Pavilion had finished transcribing the classics he needed, stored on pieces of Jade Slips.
Luo Chen checked them over to ensure nothing was missing, not even the relevant prohibitions.
"No need to swear against secondary trading?"
"Senior, you overthink. These are rely incomplete doctrines and specifically related to Body Refinent, not especially strict. Naturally, it would be better if senior exercises a bit of caution."
"Haha, I understand."
Taking the Jade Slips and materials, Luo Chen returned fully loaded.
At the sa ti, Tian Xuan also returned from her errands.
"Master, the True Fla Pill materials you wanted, I’ve already placed the orders as per your instructions. This batch of materials is sufficient for producing five thousand tis!"
"And the price?"
"For those who rely on the Demon Hunter Bureau channels, I’ve dropped the na of the Master, a seven-star Demon Hunter, so they automatically offered a discount. For those who couldn’t use the Bureau channels, upon hearing the Master’s reputation and the terrifying quantity of materials needed, those forces offered the highest discounts. In total, the cost of this batch of materials is controlled within ten million Spirit Stones."
Ten million, huh?
Luo Chen nodded, revealing a satisfied smile.
The cost of refining a batch of True Fla Pills is very high, much higher than Starry Pills.
Even though he had long been refining this pill, not only had his proficiency reached Finalization, but even the formation rate of Top Grade True Fla Pills had increased from a fixed ten percent to twenty percent, yet the cost remained high.
If one were to regularly procure five thousand sets of raw materials, the cost would easily reach thirty to forty million.
Now with the convenience of being a seven-star Demon Hunter, he could squeeze the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering for the best gains.
With the added might of the "Demon King Qingyang" being known, he surprisingly could save up to around ten million.
Reputation, sotis, can really co in handy.
"Five thousand sets of raw materials, this ti, I won’t refine Ascendant Grade True Fla Pills. Instead, I will use them all to refine Top Grade True Fla Pills. Not just for cultivation but to have them as backup for replenishing Qi Power during the Oblivion Sea expedition."
"With my current Pill Refinent Technique skill, I should be able to yield ten thousand Top Grade True Fla Pills, enough for use."
Luo Chen calculated in his mind before asking aloud, "How’s the Black King doing?"
Tian Xuan responded without hesitation: "Since Master handed over the corpse of the Overturning Sea Demon Flood Dragon to him, he’s been intensively digesting it. From my last observation, breaking through the late phase of the Third Order is already a certainty."
"This guy, eating, drinking, sleeping, and still able to advance, such good fortune."
Luo Chen jokingly scolded, yet wasn’t surprised by the other’s cultivation speed.
Over the years, relying on a large amount of Top Grade Emperor Liquor, the Black King had long shed the poor talent of the Black Scaled Giant Python, possessing a terrifying foundation.
Coupled with the nurous Demon Beasts he devoured in the early years, especially the corpse of the Cliff Serpent that failed to break through to the Fourth Order, now further advancing with the Overturning Sea Demon Flood Dragon’s body, it’s quite normal.
However...
"Tian Xuan, your cultivation should not fall behind either!"
Tian Xuan’s expression dimd. Even though she received a tailor-made cultivation technique from her master and gained a transford body, she was still stuck at the Third Layer Golden Core for years without breaking through to the Middle Stage Realm, which was very embarrassing.
She wanted to argue that she was busy dealing with the master’s trivia, but the master’s occasional guidance in cultivation could absolutely compensate for this deficiency.
"Ultimately, it’s just inadequate talent!"
She internally sighed.
Right when she was feeling downcast, a Storage Bag, carried by Qi Power, floated in front of her.
"Inside are all the Third-Order Star Proliferation Pills I refined when leaving the Flying Swallow Islands, and the Emperor Liquor I’ve occasionally created over the years. Their order is quite good. Take them, don’t be stingy, and within control, consu them extensively. Strive to break through to the Fourth Layer Golden Core in the coming years!"
Tian Xuan froze for a mont, then imnse joy flooded her face.
"Master, I..."
"Cultivate well. Lately, don’t bother with those trivial matters; let the Zhang Family consider them themselves."
Luo Chen patted Tian Xuan’s shoulder and stepped into the Star Dou Palace.
Nurous cultivation techniques were already in hand.
With thick vital energy support, the physique could completely advance further.
Now everything is prepared; I should proceed all in one go!
