Chapter 272: Tier Three Cultivation Technique, Ghostly Mystic Chronicles

On the Langqi Flying Boat.

Luo Chen glanced back at the distant horizon, confirming that there were no enemies chasing after him, and no one had noticed him.

Then, he lowered his head and looked at the scarred cultivator lying on the ground, his body covered in blood.

"You are currently powerless, aren't you afraid I might take advantage of your vulnerability?"

The scarred cultivator managed a difficult smile, "One who can ask such a question is not the type to take advantage of others' misfortune."

"Moreover, the Lord of the Lotus Heavens Society is known for his kind and generous nature, which I trust."

"Do you know me?" Luo Chen furrowed his brows.

During his treasure hunting at the trading fair, he had concealed his true appearance and aura.

But just now, the other party had called out his name, surprising him for a moment.

It was precisely because of this that he had taken the initiative to bring the cultivator onto the flying boat.

Some troubles are better kept within a controllable range.

"I don't know you, but I recognize this flying boat of yours. In the entire Heavenly Wave Immortal City, only you have this first-released supreme-grade flying boat."

So that's how it is!

Luo Chen looked down at the flying boat beneath his feet, realizing it was the reason his identity had been exposed.

Indeed, he had been coming and going using this Langqi flying boat all along.

Even though he often concealed his appearance, the boat's appearance would still be remembered by those who paid attention.

Moreover, when the Wanbao Pavilion first promoted the land-based flying boats, they frequently used his boat for advertising.

As a result, even though he rarely appeared in public, his reputation had spread far and wide, along with the flying boat and the Lotus Heavens Society.

However.

Kind and generous?

What kind of reputation is this? The scarred cultivator struggled to sit up, leaning against the wall.

"Even if you are the type who knows people's faces but not their hearts, dying by your hand is better than falling into the hands of my enemy."

"Enemy?" Luo Chen responded casually.

"Yes, I am not a loose cultivator. I am the head of the Skyblade Peak, Xing Zonghan of the Xing family. My enemy is the neighboring Skyhawk Peak's Eagle family. There has been a long-standing grudge between us. Over the years, the grudge has only grown. When the news of my impending Foundation Establishment in Heavenly Wave Immortal City leaked out, they could no longer bear it. They planned to annihilate my Xing family ahead of time and even colluded with a Foundation Establishment force to directly occupy Skyblade Peak."

Although Xing Zonghan was severely injured, he spoke calmly and orderly, displaying the demeanor of a clan leader.

Listening to his tale of the two families' grudges, Luo Chen finally understood why he had been so eager to leave Heavenly Wave Immortal City immediately after his Foundation Establishment.

"Unfortunately, I returned too late."

Xing Zonghan's face was filled with grief and indignation, "My entire Xing family has been slaughtered, and even Skyblade Peak has been directly occupied by the Eagle family and their allied Foundation Establishment force."

"Now, I am alone, reduced to a loose cultivator."

"My condolences," Luo Chen offered a faint word of comfort.

Xing Zonghan bitterly pursed his lips.

With his entire clan annihilated and only him left alive, how could he possibly find solace?

Sighing, he handed over a storage bag.

"What does this mean?" Luo Chen furrowed his brows.

Xing Zonghan spoke earnestly, "If it weren't for you giving me a ride, in my current state, it would only be a matter of time before the Eagle family's Foundation Establishment cultivators found me."

"By then, my life would be in danger, and there would be no point in discussing these material possessions."

"As a token of gratitude, I should offer you some compensation."

"Unfortunately, I have only recently reached Foundation Establishment, and my wealth is meager. Aside from that low-grade Flying Divine Sword, you may take whatever you like from the rest of my belongings!"

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows and examined the other party carefully.

Indeed, he was a smart man!

He knew to offer something in return, or else this ride on the flying boat would not have been so peaceful.

Luo Chen did not hesitate and, in front of the other party, extended his Spirit Sense into the storage bag.

The other party had just reached Foundation Establishment and had not had time to set up Spirit Sense imprints, only simple Spiritual Energy imprints.

With the other party's cooperation, it was effortless for Luo Chen to browse through the contents.

"This is not a meager wealth!"

After browsing, Luo Chen exclaimed in his heart.

The various resources inside added up to assets worth at least sixty to seventy thousand spirit stones.

Compared to Tu Shan, whom he had personally killed, this was far more prosperous.

And this was after the other party had spent lavishly at the auction to prepare for Foundation Establishment.

Luo Chen's Spirit Sense paused, and he took out three items: a spirit stone, a book, and a round bead.

Xing Zonghan was surprised, "Are you only taking these few things?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "The items may be few, but their value is extraordinary!"

The spirit stone was just a single low-grade spirit stone.

However, the book was a complete Tier Three cultivation technique—Ghostly Mystic Chronicles.

This book alone was worth tens of thousands.

As for the round bead, it was merely a high-grade magical treasure, not particularly valuable.

After storing away his reward, Luo Chen curiously asked, "You've only recently reached Foundation Establishment, yet you have such abundant wealth. Truly remarkable!"

Xing Zonghan gave a bitter smile, "It's just a stroke of good luck."

"Oh? Could you tell me about it? Consider it a conversation starter for our journey."

"There's nothing that can't be spoken of. This story begins with my participation in the Nascent Soul Stage battle to prepare for my Foundation Establishment."

"

...

"Fellow Daoist, thank you for your help along the way."

In front of Xing Zonghan's cave mansion, the man cupped his fists and said.

Luo Chen toyed with the round bead, "There's no need for thanks, but it's best not to involve me in tonight's matter."

Xing Zonghan solemnly said, "Of course, I, Xing Zonghan, will make a Great Dao Oath to never reveal that you saved me!"

In front of Luo Chen, he immediately made the Great Dao Oath.

Only then did Luo Chen restrain his figure and flew towards a higher place.

After he left, Xing Zonghan heaved a long sigh of relief.

"The Lord of Luo Tianhui, indeed lives up to the rumors, and is truly a generous and gentle person."

"Not only did he willingly save me, but he also didn't take advantage of the situation to rob me. Even when accepting a reward, he only took a Tier Three cultivation technique, which is of no use to us cultivators."

"If I had met this person earlier, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation today."

Back in his cave mansion, Luo Chen had no idea how his reputation for being "generous and gentle" had spread.

He had always been decisive and ruthless, and he never held back when dealing with enemies.

Sitting in the living room, Luo Chen waved his hand.

Bai Meiling flew over curiously.

"Master, what is this?"

"This is called the Sunshading Orb, a High-grade magical treasure, and it creates its own Yin domain." Luo Chen held the bead between his fingers and casually spoke of its origin.

In recent days, he had read many books about the cultivation world.

Among them was a book that mentioned the specialty magical tools of the Tianfan Domain.

"If you refine this bead, even if you don't become a ghost general, without the protection of a ghost cave, you can still walk normally under the scorching sun."

"Really?!"

Bai Meiling, rarely, became excited.

She carefully took the Sunshading Orb from Luo Chen's hand, her entire being filled with joy.

"If I refine this bead, can I break free from the Ghost Mill, travel during the day, and even stay by your side at all times?"

"Mhm."

Luo Chen gave a light reply.

Bai Meiling happily took the bead to her room to refine it.

After she left, Luo Chen took out the Tier Three cultivation technique.

'Ghostly Deity Inquiry Mindset'

"Speaking of which, I do have a connection with this deceased Golden Core Master from Ghostly Deity Valley."

From Xing Zonghan, he learned why the other party had accumulated such a vast fortune during the Qi Condensation Stage.

To break through to Foundation Establishment, the other party had participated in the Core Spirit Ascension Sect's war.

To be precise!

He had joined the recruitment of Verdant Pill Valley and launched an attack on the Sword Sect's ally, the Flame Alliance.

Verdant Pill Valley's recruitment of Loose Cultivators naturally came with many conditions.

Among them, there were corresponding Foundation Establishment spirit medicines as rewards.

In that war, Jade Cauldron Sword Sect itself didn't take much action, and most of the fighting was done by its subordinate forces.

Besides the Flame Alliance, there were many other subordinate forces.

Among them was the once-prosperous Ghostly Deity Valley lineage that had declined after the war ended.

They transformed into a cultivation family and became affiliated with Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.

In a major battle, the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators of this lineage were annihilated by the disciples of Ailaoshan and Verdant Pill Valley.

Xing Zonghan took advantage of the chaos and, with others, launched a surprise attack on the remaining family of this Ghostly Deity Valley lineage, wiping out their entire clan.

Then, he obtained a large inheritance.

Among the spoils were the incomplete Ghostly Deity Inquiry Mindset, Wandering Eighteen Array Disk, Soul Gathering Banner, 'Ghostly Mystic Chronicles', and many other treasures.

There was even a well-preserved Low-grade magical treasure - the Flying Divine Sword.

After obtaining such a massive harvest, he directly withdrew from the battlefield and headed straight for Heavenly Wave Immortal City to sell resources, participate in auctions, and acquire Foundation Establishment Pills.

"This person is truly blessed with deep fortune!"

"Such a bountiful harvest amidst the chaos!"

"At the auction, not only did he successfully bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill, but he also managed to break through to Foundation Establishment."

"Even at the brink of death, he happened to encounter me."

At that time, Luo Chen was willing to save him because he was curious about how the other party recognized him, and also because the other party had voluntarily reduced the price by five thousand spirit stones during their initial transaction.

This person knew when to advance and retreat.

The enemies besieging him were only at the Qi Condensation Stage.

Luo Chen didn't mind helping him out.

Even after learning that he had enemies at the Foundation Establishment Stage, it didn't matter after the other party made the Great Dao Oath to not involve him.

After all, they were only at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment.

"A Tier Three cultivation technique, and it's complete!"

Luo Chen flipped through the 'Ghostly Mystic Chronicles' while calculating the value of his possessions.

Speaking of Tier Three techniques, he also had the 'Cloud-Descending Smoke Technique' and 'Heavenly Peng Transformation'.

However, the former was a water-based alchemy technique, and the latter was an incomplete body cultivation technique.

He didn't have a proper cultivation technique like the 'Ghostly Mystic Chronicles'.

"If it suits me, then I won't lack a cultivation technique for when I reach the Core Formation stage."

Although Luo Chen was still struggling at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he had indeed thought about preparing for the Core Formation stage.

The Life Essence Technique was the most important! Unfortunately, the subsequent Life Essence Technique of the 'Yi Mu Medicine King Scripture' was the Medicine King Sect's secret, the 'Eternal Evergreen Scripture'.

This cultivation technique, whether in the black market or at a grand auction, is something one would never come across.

Even if it were to appear, disciples of the Medicine King Sect would track it down and forcefully buy it back.

Just like at the Heavenly Wave Immortal City auction, when a sword pill with an extremely fine appearance showed up.

In reality, a disciple from the Sword Sect had come to buy it back.

It was that Meng Ziqi.

However, after being defeated by Han Zheng on the Debate Platform, he suffered severe injuries and went into seclusion to recover.

Hence, he didn't show up at the auction.

Getting sidetracked.

Luo Chen flipped through the Ghostly Mystic Chronicles.

But after only a few pages, he sensed something amiss.

"How is this not a cultivation technique for humans?"

Unconvinced, he flipped through several more pages.

Finally, he found an answer.

"It's actually a set of Tier Three Ghost Cultivator Technique!"

"No wonder it's called 'Secret Chronicles'!"

"It's no wonder that when I took this technique, Xing Zonghan showed no reaction at all."

Luo Chen shook his head regretfully.

Normally, Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn't switch to the Ghostly Deity path.

Compared to orthodox cultivation, the Ghostly Deity path has too many restrictions, and there are many ways to counter it.

Unless one transforms into a Yin Soul body in advance, it's impossible to cultivate it.

It can only serve as a reference, kept as a foundation, for future needs.

It seems this technique will also benefit Bai Meiling.

Sighing, Luo Chen carefully put away the Ghostly Mystic Chronicles.

Now is not the time to give it to Bai Meiling.

Luo Chen must carefully study it himself to ensure there are no issues before passing it to her.

Otherwise, if something unexpected happens during her cultivation, he would lose his "wise and virtuous wife."

"Let's see, Sister-in-Law's Foundation Establishment should be in these few days!"

Luo Chen muttered to himself.

Ordinary cultivators' Foundation Establishment wouldn't last an entire year like his.

Back then, he had experienced multiple failures and recoveries.

On top of not having a stable Second Rank spirit land, each time he had to manually activate the Ice and Fire Spirit Springs to form a Second Rank spirit land.

For ordinary cultivators, Foundation Establishment could be as short as a few days or as long as a month.

Meng Juan Qinglian had been in closed-door cultivation for almost a month.

She should be in the final stage.

"I hope she succeeds!"

...

Sometimes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Inside the Inferior Grade cave mansion.

Qin Liangchen was in pain, his body trembling as he lay on the edge of the bed.

"I shouldn't have let you undergo Foundation Establishment, I should have gone myself!"

"It's my fault!"

Luo Chen glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Brother Qin, I'll save your wife."

In front of Qin Liangchen, thick and deep green light appeared on Luo Chen's hands.

The rich vitality made the cells in his skin feel like cheering.

The Great Perfection Healing Spell! Combined with the purified spiritual liquid from the Master-level Yi Mu Medicine King Scripture.

Its healing effect could be described as a masterpiece.

When Feng Xia and Duan Feng got married, Luo Chen used this technique to cure Feng Xia's throat that was damaged many years ago.

Duan Feng later said that he liked that wedding gift and was very grateful to Luo Chen.

The second time Luo Chen used the Great Perfection Healing Spell, it was for his most beloved sister-in-law.

Just a stick of incense ago.

Qin Liangchen rushed anxiously to Luo Chen's cave mansion entrance.

Fortunately, Luo Chen wasn't in closed-door cultivation, and luckily, Bai Meiling had just refined the Sunshading Orb overnight and was about to test its effects.

It was because of this that Luo Chen received the news and rushed to the scene at the first moment.

Meng Juan Qinglian's Foundation Establishment had failed! This shouldn't have happened!

With such thorough preparations, whether it was the Spirit Gate Pill or the Essence Nourishing Spirit Elixir, she had taken them.

Various Foundation Establishment Insights, whether they were Luo Chen's, Duan Feng's, or even Min Longyu's, who had just reached Foundation Establishment not long ago, she had carefully studied them all.

She even had a Foundation Establishment Pill as her main support.

Her determination to reach Foundation Establishment was strong, and she wouldn't hesitate at such a critical moment.

But, she failed!

Luo Chen took a deep breath.

His two thick and wide palms were placed on the woman's abdomen and forehead.

Pure Wood-attribute spiritual power surged into Meng Juan Qinglian's body.

While repairing her meridians and internal organs ravaged by rampant spiritual energy, he also awakened her slumbering soul spirit.

Furthermore, during the healing process, Luo Chen searched for the reason for her Foundation Establishment failure.

"The damaged meridians were caused by Reverse Energy Flow."

"The outer wall of the Dantian is intact, proving that it hasn't reached the stage of breaking through the Dantian and transforming it into a sea."

"In other words, she didn't even achieve the step of breaking through the pill and transforming it into essence?"

"How could this be?"

"Is it because Sister-in-Law's Dantian Barrier is too thick, or the power of the Foundation Establishment Pill was insufficient? Or perhaps her mind wasn't focused enough at that moment?"

Amidst the multitude of questions, he had no clue.

Luo Chen could only concentrate and focus on repairing her damaged body.
