Chapter 121: Mountain Collapse, Snow Avalanche, Eternal Spring Perfection

"Yinlingquan, Qiuxu, Yongquan, Dadian, Xiangu, Lineiting."

"Finally, all six major acupoints on my feet have been stimulated."

In the cave, Luo Chen gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead pulsating violently.

The pain, even after he had grown somewhat accustomed to it over the past few days, was still unbearable when all six acupoints were stimulated simultaneously.

But Luo Chen held on tightly.

To put it bluntly, it was just pain and not life-threatening.

Moreover, he had used his Spirit Energy to cover the meridians near the six acupoints, greatly reducing the risk of internal injuries.

So, he just had to tough it out!

Imagine it as a foot massage where the therapist was giving his kidney reflex zone a particularly intense treatment!

After a long, long time, it felt like an eternity had passed. Luo Chen, drenched in sweat, finally stopped his cultivation of the Enlightened Spirit and Malevolent Energy Breaking technique.

He removed the Spirit Energy needles from the six acupoints and slumped against the wall.

"If stimulating six acupoints is this intense, what will it be like when all thirty-six acupoints are stimulated at once? This will be beyond unbearable!"

Luo Chen shuddered, finding it hard to imagine the future when the Enlightened Spirit and Malevolent Energy Breaking technique would be fully activated.

He calculated the time; it had only been about an incense stick's worth.

But just now, it felt like an eternity.

Thinking about that feeling of living worse than dying, Luo Chen couldn't help but admire Wang Yuan and the great martial master who created this technique.

Among countless mortals, to rise and become one of the few who reached the Primordial Qi realm, there was indeed something unique about them.

Leaving aside other things, just their powerful martial will was something ordinary people couldn't compare to.

Even most Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators couldn't be mentioned in the same breath as them.

Currently, Luo Chen was still at the beginner stage, merely resisting the most common negative emotions like pain.

To cultivate a will that is unyielding and fearless in the face of life and death, he had a long, long way to go.

"Today's practice of the Enlightened Spirit and Malevolent Energy Breaking technique is over. Next, it's time to practice my main cultivation technique."

Compared to the unbearable pain of the Enlightened Spirit and Malevolent Energy Breaking technique, the Eternal Spring Technique seemed almost adorable.

Previously, practicing it several times a day would exhaust both his body and spirit.

Even with the aid of Calming Incense and Essence Cultivation Spirit Liquid, Luo Chen would often feel fatigued.

But now, in comparison, he found it insignificant.

He had already weathered much greater storms; a bit of wind and rain was nothing.

After making all the necessary preparations, Luo Chen began to cultivate the Eternal Spring Technique as usual.

His body acted like a vortex, capturing the Wood Spirit Qi gathered by the Spirit Gathering Array, refining it, and finally transforming it into his own Spirit Energy.

As dawn approached, Luo Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

On the attribute panel, a line of faint light shone brightly.

【Cultivation Technique: Eternal Spring Technique - Great Perfection】

There was no great surprise; this was expected.

The day of Great Perfection was within these few days, and Luo Chen had been well-prepared.

His achievement points increased by one.

But Luo Chen didn't pay much attention to this. He took a deep breath and once again circulated the Eternal Spring Technique, trying to identify any differences from before.

The efficiency of capturing and refining Spirit Qi remained unchanged.

The limit of his Dantian remained unchanged.

The twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians didn't widen; they were still the same as before.

The feature of automatic Spirit Energy recovery remained.

So, where was the change?

Luo Chen stopped cultivating the Eternal Spring Technique and subconsciously released a palm of Spirit Energy.

Bang!

A section of rock wall was reduced to dust.

Seeing the slight increase in power compared to usual, Luo Chen understood.

"Indeed, my guess was right!"

"The Great Perfection of the Eternal Spring Technique has made up for the pure Spirit Energy cultivation method that the Medicine King Sect had omitted."

"Now, after cultivation, my Spirit Energy has been subtly refined."

The change was not very noticeable, but under Luo Chen's constant observation, he discovered this subtle transformation.

It wasn't a passive effect but an active one.

He had to actively cultivate for this effect to take place.

But even so, it was enough!

"Foundation Establishment is within reach!"

Luo Chen exhaled a long, deep breath, expelling countless worries and troubles with it.

According to Uncle Mi's "Cultivation Heart Techniques," there are three critical stages in Foundation Establishment:

1. Spirit Soul

2. Physical Body

3. Spirit Energy

The Spirit Soul affects the Spirit Sense that is born after Foundation Establishment.

The stronger the Spirit Soul, the stronger the foundation of the Spirit Sense, allowing for better control of Spirit Energy during Foundation Establishment. After Foundation Establishment, the external Spirit Sense will also be stronger.

If the innate Spirit Soul is incomplete, Foundation Establishment is almost impossible.

Luo Chen wasn't too worried about this.

He had once overcome a heart tribulation, and his Spirit Soul's strength had doubled compared to before.

The second stage is the Physical Body stage.

This is quite straightforward and not a problem for cultivators.

Because any cultivator who reaches the Great Perfection of Qi Cultivation will not have significant physical issues.

The only concern is that if Foundation Establishment fails, the body's insufficient strength can easily lead to incurable injuries.

Luo Chen wasn't worried about this either. He had consumed a lot of demon beast meat and Spirit Rice.

He also regularly used Essence Cultivation Spirit Liquid to enhance his blood and qi.

Although most of the blood and qi were used to assist in refining external Spirit Qi, the remaining part continuously strengthened his foundation.

The only thing that had long troubled Luo Chen was the third stage—the Spirit Energy stage.

He had mainly relied on pills for cultivation.

As a result, he had even developed a tolerance for Qi Nourishing Pills.

In theory, cultivating with pills wasn't a significant problem.

But he had heard that even with the best benefits, the quantity of spirit pills consumed each month was strictly controlled.

It's said that excessive pill consumption might cause the spirit energy to become too buoyant, lacking in condensation.

When attempting to establish a foundation, if the spirit energy isn't sufficiently condensed and pure, it would be very easy to fail.

Before becoming a cultivator, he was known as a Qi Cultivator, and the cultivation he practiced was the cultivation of that chest of Qi.

If the Qi wasn't pure, how could one talk about breaking through the barrier, let alone achieving longevity?

The grand sect disciples were so cautious, but it wouldn't be strange for Luo ch en to rack his brain trying to find a method to purify the spirit energy.

The battles, the Enlightened Spirit and malevolent energy breaking, were all his efforts.

Now the Eternal spring technique had reached great perfection, finally resolving his worries.

"Next, the only thing to consider is the foundation establishment pill needed for the foundation."

"Oh no, it should be the cultivation to great perfection first!"

Luo Chen glanced at his realm progress bar and couldn't help but laugh.

Still at the seventh layer of Qi cultivation, thinking it was a bit too far.

As for when to deal with the foundation establishment pill, Luo chen actually had a plan long ago.

Mi Shu Hua's promise, not to be trusted.

Who knows if he was willing to help himself, and if he felt that after his foundation establishment, it might be difficult to control, he feared it would still be a hundredfold disturbance.

Luo Chen had to rely on his own efforts! The direction of effort, very simple.

Save money!

Save spirit stones! Save enough spirit stones, then actively participate in each auction.

The grand sect did not exterminate the scattered cultivators, and when the foundation establishment pill came out, they would leave one or two for the scattered cultivators.

That would be Luo Chen's opportunity!

Buzz! A faint hum came, snapping Luo chen out of his thoughts.

What's happening outside?

He quickly got up, dressed properly.

Taking down the spirit gathering array, leaving the hidden spirit array, he then quickly arrived at the Alchemy Hall.

As he came out, that sound grew even louder.

Boom! Another explosion, a silver-white lightning bolt appeared in the sky.

"Thunder strike!"

Luo chen suddenly realized, reaching out from behind the cliff.

Fine raindrops fell onto his hands.

Winter had passed.

Spring thunder, all things come to life!

...

...

A spring thunder, a spring rain.

The lively rain swept over the cliffside, washing away the snow, merging into streams gushing down.

In the Crescent Moon Valley, the spirit plants ran out. All the winter arrangements were removed.

Like the eternal spring array and others.

After enduring a difficult winter, it was finally over.

Compared to previous years, the days at the Medicine King Sect were much better.

The exact reason, still lay in the Neighboring Pill Hall.

The benefits from the pill hall's alchemy were not just about selling pills.

A large part of the auxiliary materials were directly purchased from the Medicine Hall.

Even at an internal price, but the profit margin was enough to let the Medicine Hall cultivators have a good winter.

In Luo chen's words, this formed a complete industrial chain.

The high-end industry (Pill Hall) drove the low-end industry (Medicine Hall), thus creating a win-win situation.

However, this industrial chain was not yet perfect.

Like the main materials' sources and other consumables, which had to be purchased from outside.

In comparison, the Medicine King Sect had already formed a complete industrial chain from the planting of raw materials, to the deep processing, then the production and assembly of spirit pills, channel distribution, and even after-sales service.

There might also be testers and pill testers, specialized research institutions, and external market development departments.

So many things, a small sect like the Mountain Breaker Gang, could not independently complete this.

Even an ordinary small sect would not manage.

Only a grand sect like the Medicine King Sect, with both high-end power to suppress, and a large number of low-tier human resources for use, was the most important, owning a complete territory!

The Medicine king domain spanned tens of thousands of miles, vast and wide, with high-level spirit fields everywhere.

Standing in front of the Alchemy Hall cliff, the spring breeze blew gently, causing Luo chen's thoughts to soar.

If one day in the future, having such a major force to control, what a spring-like delight it would be!

As he indulged in his thoughts, Sikong Shoujia brought him an unexpected thing.

"Whos hand?"

A human hand frozen in an ice block was placed in front of Luo ChenSSSSikong Shoujia smiled slightly, "Dan Xiu!"

"Who killed the scattered cultivator?"

"Yes, how surprising, right?" Luo chen said, his gaze strangely looking at him, unable to see his surprise.

"If you carry someone's head over, I would be happy. But just one hand, not even an arm, do you think I'm surprised?"

Sikong Shoujia dazed, "A ninth-layer Qi cultivator, still a formidable cultivator, would there be such a good kill?"

"This hand, the sect leader at the Snow Lotus Auction House, only because of the reward order, someone was sent over. For this sect leader, it wasn't an easy task to send people over, was it?"

Luo chen said resentfully, "Since discovered a person, why scare the snake away by beating the grass? Not knowing to send enough hands, directly turning them into ash and smoke, right?"

"But the Snow Lotus Auction House isn't our territory, how easy to send people over!"

"You!"

Luo chen took a deep breath, waved his hand, "Go on, take it, looking forward to seeing you."

We cultivators contend with the heavens, watching a severed hand, looking forward toSikong Shoujia opened his mouth, truly not expecting Luo chen's reaction.

He had thought Luo chen would be happy.

However, after the morning alchemy session ended, seeing the number of Jade Marrow Pills he had refined, Sikong Shoujia let out a sigh of relief.

It had already recovered to forty percent!

It seemed Luo Chen was quite happy, and the alchemy process had gone much more smoothly.

Ignoring Sikong Shoujia's knowing smile, Luo Chen went to the small pond to wash his hands.

The high alchemical success rate today was actually very simple.

After enduring the pain of having six acupoints pierced last night, the pain from stimulating just one or two acupoints during regular activities was now manageable for him.

Naturally, his alchemy skills returned to their usual level.

He even secretly took a few High-Grade Jade Marrow Pills.

Now that the Eternal Spring Technique had reached its Great Perfection, it refined his spirit energy, which was a good thing, but it also had a downside.

Refining spirit energy would affect the accumulation of spirit energy, slowing down his progression to the next realm.

Luo Chen, of course, could not tolerate such a thing.

Thus, the demand for pills increased once again.

He did not plan to continue taking thirty to forty Jade Marrow Pills stealthily every month as he used to.

As long as Uncle Mi was not around, he intended to take a few each time!

No matter whether he could consume them all, he would take them first anyway!

Just as he finished washing his hands, another loud noise came from outside.

"Thunder again?"

It was spring, not summer; a couple of thunderclaps should be enough. Why is it thundering continuously?

Luo Chen muttered to himself.

Then, outside the Alchemy Hall, cries of alarm echoed.

"The mountain is collapsing, the mountain is collapsing!"

"The Nanwa Snow Mountain is collapsing!"

"What mountain is collapsing? It's an avalanche."

Why would there be an avalanche out of the blue?

Luo Chen walked to the cliff edge and looked into the distance.

The Nanwa Snow Mountain was not part of the Hundred of Mountains but one of several large mountains separating the Great River Market and Mount Tai Market.

Because its peak jutted out prominently, resembling a huge tile, it was called the Nanwa Snow Mountain.

Under the gaze of his Spirit Eyes Technique, the distant Nanwa Snow Mountain crumbled inch by inch. The mountain, which already appeared small due to the distance, seemed even shorter now.

"Something's wrong, it's not a natural collapse!"

Luo Chen's eyes narrowed as he saw a golden streak of light piercing through the heavy clouds and streaking across the sky, heading straight for the Great River Market.

As it passed, the clouds scattered, and a heavy rain poured down.

Several nearby snow-capped mountains that had not yet melted were also affected, causing massive avalanches.

Luo Chen swallowed hard; he had seen this golden streak of light before.

"A sword cultivator!"

As he blurted out, Sikong Shoujia and Gu Caiyi also reacted.

The former exclaimed in surprise, "A Golden Core sword cultivator!"

That was right; only high-rank sword cultivators riding sword pills and transforming into rainbows could create such a spectacular sight.

Ordinary cultivators using magic artifacts could not produce such a phenomenon.

Gu Caiyi said hesitantly, "If I'm not mistaken, that should be the Golden Core sword cultivator from the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect who presided over the opening of the Discussion Platform in the Great River Market last time—Pang Renxiong!"

The two beside her nodded in agreement.

It couldn't be wrong; it must be him.

But why would he suddenly return to the Great River Market?

Although the resources here were abundant, there was only one large first-stage spirit vein, which was not enough to support a Golden Core cultivator's cultivation.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators had to rely on pills and spirit-gathering arrays to barely cultivate.

Logically, a Golden Core cultivator should not linger in such a place!

The rainbow streak of light flew relentlessly, displaying its might as it tore through the air, as if it were not just traveling but also declaring its arrival to the tens of thousands of cultivators in the Great River Market.

In just a few breaths, the rainbow that was far away in the sky had already entered the inner city of the Great River Market.

The cultivators in Crescent Moon Valley discussed the matter, but then went about their own business.

The arrival of a Golden Core cultivator, though intriguing, had little to do with low-rank cultivators.

Gu Caiyi and Sikong Shoujia chatted for a bit and then dismissed the matter, considering it just a topic for idle conversation.

Only Luo Chen felt a heavy weight in his heart, sensing the approach of a storm.

The return of the Golden Core cultivator was definitely not a good sign.

There was nothing here to attract him.

So, his visit must be for a specific reason.

For example... the death of the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from Ailao Mountain, Fei Bowen!

That matter had not yet been resolved, and based on what he had overheard at the Immortal Construction Residence, the blame seemed to point towards the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.

Pang Renxiong's arrival was likely to investigate the truth.

In the process, it was bound to cause a storm of blood and rain.

"I just hope it doesn't affect my peaceful cultivation in the Mountain Breaker Gang!"

Luo Chen sighed, feeling an inexplicable sense of urgency.
