Xuan Yunzi felt a surge of pressure and bowed deeply, "Junior brother will certainly do his utmost!"
"It’s not about doing one’s utmost, but about giving it your all!" He Yuanqing enunciated each word deliberately, "I intend to enter the third round with the ranking of the top true disciple!"
Xuan Yunzi’s back bent even lower.
That nearly obsessive gaze landed on him, feeling like a thorn in his back!
...
After returning to Ink Lotus Garden, Luo Chen instructed the two Tao Family Qi Refinent Cultivators serving him to be alert for potential visitors seeking him out.
He conducted a large number of transactions on the trading jade platform at Gaoyang Tower.
The address he left for contact was Xiao Nanshan’s Tao Family.
After giving the instructions, Luo Chen entered the courtyard and shut the gate.
This familiar scene filled the two accompanying Tao Family Qi Refinent Cultivators with emotions.
Other Outer World Cultivators, upon being invited to Qingdan Valley, were always keen to move around, to make connections, and to visit the valley’s true disciples.
They aid to expand their networks, gather resources, and exchange insights on cultivation, and so on.
Yet the guest they from the Tao Family had invited was different.
Unless necessary, he seldom left, sticking to his own place.
He was like the epito of a dedicated cultivator!
Perhaps, this also explained why an ordinary Rogue Cultivator could achieve Foundation Establishnt and possess a comndable Pill Refinent Technique!
In reality.
Luo Chen indeed was a dedicated cultivator, but he wasn’t one to neglect networking.
The reason he kept to himself upon arriving in Qingdan Valley was simple.
The Tao Family was already the limit of the connections he could make for now.
Before proving his worth further, he had already been branded with the mark of the Xiao Nanshan Tao Family since entering Qingdan Valley.
In such a case, what new connections could he possibly forge?
re acquaintances? Fair-weather friends?
No!
Going out frequently might instead invite Tao Wen’s suspicions.
After all, he had just gone through Huang Hezi’s betrayal.
As long as there wasn’t a huge gap in their realms, Luo Chen could still figure out people’s thoughts clearly.
Just like now, dutifully studying Pill Techniques and cultivating behind closed doors was probably the very situation Tao Wen wished to see!
Back in the Cultivation Room, Luo Chen took out the Revival Pill and examined it carefully.
From ti to ti, he used various Pill Techniques to extract tiny amounts of powder to gauge the general potency.
Sothing an ordinary Foundation Establishnt True Cultivator wouldn’t be able to do.
In front of him, a master Pill Refiner, it wasn’t so difficult.
After a series of tests, Luo Chen stowed away the Revival Pill satisfied.
Liao Liang had exaggerated a bit, but he hadn’t lied.
While the Revival Pill didn’t retain as much potency as boasted, certainly three-tenths of its dicinal power remained.
Though it wouldn’t make much difference to a Golden Core Ascendant Master,
but to a Foundation Establishnt True Cultivator, it was already sufficient.
And wasn’t he a Foundation Establishnt Stage Cultivator right now?
"There’s another addition to my life-saving trump cards!"
With a light chuckle, Luo Chen adjusted his mood and began to ditate and cultivate.
Xiao Nanshan, although a Second Order Spirit Land, had a relatively average concentration of Spirit Qi.
Tao Wen had already arranged the best cultivation area for him, yet the concentration of Spirit Qi was rely at the level of a dium Grade Immortal Mansion in Tianlan Peak.
Consequently, his cultivation speed had slowed by a small half.
But this was only temporary.
The battle for the Seed Cultivator and the Sword Fight were drawing near, it was just a little delay of one or two months.
Having been in Qingdan Valley’s Tao Family for a month,
and without ceasing his daily cultivation, his cultivation level had been slowly increasing.
A night passed without incident.
The next day, Luo Chen awoke.
He checked the System panel.
[Realm: Fifth Level Foundation Establishnt 2/100]
It took a whole month just to advance one point on the progress scale.
At this rate, to reach the Sixth Level Foundation Establishnt would take nearly a decade!
"I need to wrap things up here sooner and return to Tian Lan Immortal City to cultivate using the Ascendant Grade Cave House."
After Foundation Establishnt, the importance of a Spirit Land to cultivators jumps to the forefront!
Luo Chen was already longing for the rich Spirit Qi of the Ascendant Grade Cave House.
Leaving the Cultivation Room,
Luo Chen was about to enjoy a lavish breakfast prepared by the Tao Family when his gaze fell upon a woman squatting in front of the courtyard pond, playing with the ink lotus leaves.
Because she was squatting,
her curves were accentuated, her waist and hips pronounced.
The soft silk clung to her jade back, and three thousand strands of black hair rested upon it, reflecting a profound luster under the morning sun.
A few strands of hair dangled towards the surface of the water.
In the clear reflection, faces full of anticipation and nervousness beca visible.
Feeling soone watching her,
Tao Wen raised her head and looked towards Luo Chen, who stood by the window, his expression lively.
She elegantly stood up and brushed the hair by her cheeks behind her ears.
"Friend, the battle for Seed Cultivator has begun!"
