Chapter 251: Blood Slaughter Soul Snatching, Wang Yuan's Foundation Establishment
Chapter 251: Blood Slaughter Soul Snatching, Wang Yuan's Foundation Establishment
In the Green Thatched Cottage.
Two figures sat facing each other, while another person was chained through the wrist, firmly locked to an iron rack.
The chained person glared at the two figures with resentment.
But with a casual glance from Wang Yuan, he lowered his head in fear.
"You can't kill me!"
"My grandfather is Huo Quan, my master is an elder of the Flame Alliance, and I am the designated successor of the Flame Alliance."
"You..."
His words trailed off.
Under the cold gaze of Wang Yuan, he stammered.
Luo Chen watched this scene with a smile, showing no mercy.
Those who kill, must be killed.
Since they dared to take action against them, they should be prepared to be killed.
In this world, there is no such thing as waiting to be slaughtered.
Luo Chen turned his attention to Wang Yuan, his expression serious.
"In these past years, how has your research on the Blood Slaughter Soul Snatching Array been?"
Wang Yuan replied confidently, "If it were two years ago, I would have had some concerns. But in these past two years, with Min Longyu's help, I have perfected this array and even had it engraved on my back."
"With this, the soul-snatching process will be twice as effective!"
Seeing his confidence, Luo Chen felt more at ease.
However, to be extra cautious, he asked a few more questions.
"How many Spirit Gate Pills have you taken?"
"I've taken all the ones you had sent. I can feel that my soul's foundation has increased by nearly thirty percent. Even if the problem with Duan Qiankun's remnant soul occurs again, I can suppress it!"
In these past years, Luo Chen had not only refined Jade Marrow Pills and Jade Dew Pills.
To improve his proficiency, he would occasionally refine Spirit Gate Pills.
By now, he had already surpassed the beginner stage in refining Spirit Gate Pills, reaching the proficient level, and was not far from mastery! During this process, the numerous lower-grade Spirit Gate Pills he refined were useless to him.
But for cultivators still in the Qi Condensation Stage, they were considered high-quality cultivation resources.
That batch of Spirit Gate Pills was supplied in small quantities to Sima Huiwang, Murong Qinglian, and others.
Most of them were sent to Wang Yuan.
Compared to Sima Huiwang and the others, Wang Yuan undoubtedly had a greater need to enhance his soul's foundation.
The Blood Slaughter Soul Snatching process involved the target's essence blood, foundation, and soul.
Each step required Wang Yuan's full concentration, and the demands on his soul were incredibly high.
During the Little Heavenly Circle Mountain Battle, the first soul-snatching attempt failed.
While Duan Qiankun's stable foundation was a factor, Wang Yuan's haste and insufficient foundation also played a role.
The Spirit Gate Pills could effectively solve Wang Yuan's dilemma!
However, both Wang Yuan and Sima Huiwang had a similar issue: after taking the Spirit Gate Pills, their soul's foundation would surge temporarily.
But unlike Luo Chen, who had practiced the Soul Capturing Technique, they needed time to gradually refine their volatile souls.
Luo Chen had also tried to get Wang Yuan to cultivate the Soul Capturing Technique, but unfortunately, Wang Yuan's talent in the art of techniques was indeed average.
Even a simple soul-binding oath took a long time to barely succeed.
Therefore, in the past two years, he could only take a Spirit Gate Pill at intervals.
Moreover, the effect diminished over time.
But since Wang Yuan was so confident now, Luo Chen decided not to worry unnecessarily.
"Alright, if that's the case, when do you plan to start your Foundation Establishment?"
Wang Yuan turned to look at Hawk Hu, his gaze cold.
"As you said, if not now, then when? Let's do it today!"
Hawk Hu, who was chained up, felt a shudder in his heart.
From their unconcealed words, he had a bad premonition.
So what if I'm about to establish my foundation? Why are you staring at me?
And what is this Blood Slaughter Soul Snatching Array for?
Luo Chen paid no attention to him and stared solemnly at Wang Yuan.
"It's good that you have confidence, but to be safe, it's best if I stay by your side and keep an eye on things this time!"
Wang Yuan raised his eyebrows, his determined gaze fixed on Luo Chen.
After a while, he nodded slowly.
"Since that's the case, I'll have you protect my cultivation path!"
...
"What are you going to do?"
"Damn you!"
"No, please... I was wrong, let me go! I'll have my family send Spirit Stones, Foundation Establishment Pills! Yes, I can get you Foundation Establishment Pills."
"Magical Artifacts are fine too, my grandfather has a Primordial Yang Saber, a divine and powerful artifact..."
"Ah..."
"Wang Yuan, you won't die a good death!"
Heart-wrenching wails echoed continuously within the thatched cottage.
However, the two inside remained unmoved, their faces cold and indifferent.
Luo Chen frowned, observing the scene before him.
Wang Yuan sat cross-legged, his upper body bare, revealing a pile of muscles intertwined like coiled dragons.
Thick essence blood surged from his head, forming a cloud of qi and blood smoke.
The man's bones were like white jade, almost translucent through his skin.
If that was all, it would have been fine.
But on his back, amidst the writhing muscles like coiling dragons, there was an ancient and simple array, as if crafted by nature itself.
This was the Soul Snatching Array from Ghost Valley, modified into the Blood Slaughter Soul Snatching Array.
After years of research by Wang Yuan and with Min Longyu's additions, it was finally inscribed on Wang Yuan's powerful physical body.
Only then could it unleash its full might!
At this moment!
As Wang Yuan circulated his technique, the Qi Blood Smoke suddenly curved, injecting itself into the array on his back.
Visible to the naked eye, the array came to life!
【Using the body as the foundation, blood as the source】
【Guided by Qi, the soul captures】
"Blood Slaughter, unleash!"
With a low shout, blood-colored threads extended from the array, intertwining and devouring each other, growing and transforming into countless blood serpents in the blink of an eye.
Each serpent was filled with a bloody evil aura, as if ready to devour anyone in its path!
Wang Yuan had his back turned to Luo Chen.
And so, the blood serpents immediately noticed Luo Chen.
For a moment, Luo Chen's soul trembled.
"This technique is too sinister and harms the harmony of heaven. It's not a cultivation method suitable for our kind, Wang Ge. What path of cultivation have you embarked upon?"
As he muttered to himself, the tiny blood serpents opened their mouths and danced in the air, flying towards Hu Hu, who was suspended in mid-air.
Each serpent, under Hu Hu's terrified gaze, eagerly burrowed into his body.
Hiss!
As if something had been bitten.
"Ah..."
A scream escaped Hu Hu's mouth.
Before he could even curse, his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!...
Countless similar sounds echoed within his body.
His face turned pale, almost deathly white.
Suddenly, a blood serpent emerged from Hu Hu's body, larger and more vibrant than before, having grown more than twice its original size.
It seemed to be well-fed.
"Blood Slaughter, return!"
With a low shout, the satiated blood serpent reluctantly returned to Wang Yuan's side.
It slowly burrowed back into the array on his back.
At this moment, Luo Chen sensed a change in Wang Yuan's aura.
He had begun to break through the Supreme Realm of Qi Condensation, steadily advancing towards the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Return!"
"Return!"
"Return!"
One by one, the blood serpents emerged from Hu Hu's body and continually returned to Wang Yuan's body.
His aura grew increasingly stronger.
In contrast, Hu Hu's body became thinner and thinner.
He floated in the air, like a thin painting!
Luo Chen swallowed, and a sense of fear spread from his soul.
It seemed that if those blood serpents entered his body, they would take everything from him.
A cultivator's essence-filled blood!
The essence of flesh and bones!
The foundation of the Dao!
And even...
"Soul Snatching!"
Wang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and two rays of blood light burst forth from them, falling straight onto the painting in mid-air.
At that moment, the painting came to life!
An identical wisp of a wraith floated out of the painting.
For a moment, his eyes were filled with bewilderment.
Then, his face contorted with resentment, and he glared at Wang Yuan.
"You won't get away with this!"
"No, I'll live a good life," Wang Yuan said with a cold smile. "Come, lend me your life to help me establish my foundation on the Dao!"
The blood light retracted.
The wisp of the wraith struggled in fear, but it couldn't stop what was about to happen.
As Hu Hu's soul was pulled into Wang Yuan's body, a blood-colored radiance burst forth from Wang Yuan's back, transforming into a light curtain that tightly enveloped him.
It wasn't just one light!
The number of light blossoms matched the number of blood serpents that had appeared earlier.
Layer upon layer, they wrapped around Wang Yuan like silkworm cocoons, eventually forming a gigantic cocoon.
With this, the first step was complete.
Yes!
This was merely the first step!
Luo Chen took a deep breath, glanced at the massive blood-red cocoon, and then walked out the door.
He didn't leave.
Instead, he took out a Treasure Pouch and began to remove the restrictions on it while keeping an eye on the changes inside the room.
"Last time, Wang Ge took Duan Qiankun's soul, and it took a full three months to finish."
"I wonder how long it will take this time?"
"But it should be smoother than the last time!"
The previous Wang Yuan was only at the ninth layer of the Qi Condensation stage, and the Soul Snatching Array was crude. His soul foundation was also ordinary.
This time, with his own efforts and Luo Chen's assistance, there had been a dramatic transformation.
Moreover, the target of the soul snatching was not the long-established Foundation Establishment cultivator, Duan Qiankun.
It wasn't the newly-established Foundation Establishment cultivator, Hawk Hu! These past few years, under Wang Yuan's direct control, Hawk Hu's cultivation hadn't advanced in the slightest, remaining at the same level as during the High Grave Plain Battle.
Secondly, the difference was like heaven and earth.
They had already experienced one failure.
This time, success was imperative!
The Blood Slaughter Soul Snatching Array only had three chances, and after stepping onto this bloody path of Foundation Establishment, they couldn't adopt other methods.
Wang Yuan couldn't afford the consequences of another failure.
Luo Chen didn't want to witness that scene again.
"Everything will be left to time!"
Luo Chen sighed, trying his best to erase the scenes from the Green Thatched Cottage that flashed through his mind.
That wasn't the normal path of Foundation Establishment for a cultivator.
...
One month later.
Beneath Crimson Peak.
In a medium-sized cave, Qu Lingjun was personally leading a team to refine pills.
His subordinates added the ingredients for him and monitored the intensity of the fire.
All he had to do was rely on his experience to judge the changes in the pill's potency.
From time to time, he also infused Spirit Energy to control the fusion and differentiation of the ingredients inside.
"Huff!"
With a wave of Qu Lingjun's hand, the Divine Wood Cauldron released a radiant glow, and over thirty pills flew out.
At this moment, someone naturally came to collect the pills.
Looking at those thirty-plus pills, the young man with stubble on his face remained calm and unperturbed.
This furnace of Jade Marrow Pills had used two sets of raw materials.
In the end, they obtained twenty-five Intermediate-grade and eleven Low-grade pills.
Exiting the pill chamber.
"Lingjun, your pill refinement skills are truly remarkable!"
The words of praise came from a dignified woman with a smile on her face.
It was Sima Huiwang! Qu Lingjun shook his head, "Madam President, you flatter me."
"It's nothing. My master can consistently produce pills, and they are all of the highest grade. Compared to him, I'm like a firefly to the bright moon."
"The path I'm walking is still long."
Sima Huiwang smiled gently, "President, you are an unparalleled genius in the way of pill refinement. Why compare yourself to him? In my eyes, you are already very impressive."
Indeed!
Qu Lingjun's current pill refinement skills were truly formidable.
The large number of Intermediate-grade Jade Marrow Pills he refined each month could provide the Luo Tianhui with thousands of spirit stones in profit.
And he was only in his early twenties.
It was hard to imagine how far he could go in the future.
"President, you indeed have an eye for talent, taking him under your wing at such a young age."
Qu Lingjun shook his head.
He wasn't comparing himself to his master; that would be too disrespectful.
He regarded his master as a direction for his progress.
In life, one must have a correct direction to move faster and more steadily.
"By the way, President, is there something you need at the Pill Hall?"
"It's not a big deal. I just came to see how your pill refinement is going lately and if there's anything we can help you with in your daily lives."
Sima Huiwang said gently, "Since your master isn't here, I should take care of you a bit."
"I'm doing fine."
As Qu Lingjun spoke, his gaze fell on another pill chamber.
The door opened.
A graceful figure emerged, like a delicate willow swaying in the wind.
He hurried forward.
"Sister Mi Li, how are you today?"
Mi Li smiled slightly.
"I'm fine. I made seven All Wonders Pills, a small achievement."
Qu Lingjun was overjoyed.
"It seems your pill refinement skills have improved too!"
"Thanks to the Universal Wonder Pill Crafting Guide given to me by the President. Otherwise, I wouldn't have progressed so quickly."
Beside them.
Watching the lively conversation between the man and woman, Sima Huiwang shook her head and smiled.
"It seems today is a double celebration."
"In our Luo Tianhui, besides the President, two new stars in the way of pill refinement have risen!"
Mi Li felt a bit embarrassed.
Qu Lingjun scratched his head and laughed foolishly.
He asked curiously, "By the way, is my master in seclusion again? Why haven't I seen him in a month?"
Sima Huiwang shook her head.
She knew where Luo Chen was and what he was doing.
But there was no need to tell others about these things.
She had come here today as a routine check and to offer some care.
Since they didn't have any requests, she could leave; there were many matters awaiting her attention.
Just as she was about to depart, her expression changed slightly.
Then, she flew out, reaching the ground and looking up at the summit of Crimson Peak.
There.
A mighty aura was slowly rising.
Sima Huiwang's face lit up with surprise.
This aura was not unfamiliar to her.
Although she had little contact with it, it definitely belonged to Wang Yuan.
"From now on, our Luo Tianhui will have three Foundation Establishment cultivators!"
Not just her!
At this moment, all the cultivators of Luo Tianhui sensed the commotion from the peak of Crimson Peak.
Countless flight lights emerged from the mountain, gazing into the sky.
