Achievement Points: 30
The attribute panel was filled with numerous entries, some of which were so cluttered that Luo Chen chose to hide them.
After opening the panel, the first thing Luo Chen did was to hide the Perfect Healing Spell, Perfect Earth Mountain Spell, and Perfect Wave Spell in the details section.
These were just Tier 1 spells, and there was no need to keep them on display all the time.
However, after perfecting the Earth Mountain Spell and Wave Spell, when combined with the already perfected Fireball Technique, the Mountain Splitting Spell was temporarily pushed to the Master level!
The power of a Mountain Collapse Master was unquestionable.
After breaking through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, Luo Chen had attempted this technique twice.
Wang Yuan had high praise for it.
Weituo couldn't give his evaluation, but it's safe to assume that he would have said, "Absolutely amazing!" in the afterlife.
However, the flaw in this technique was also evident.
Like the Blazing Sun Technique, it was too complicated to cast.
Luo Chen managed to use it in actual combat by dividing it into three steps and releasing it stealthily when the enemy was not paying attention.
No wonder this spell, touted as one of the strongest Tier 2 attack spells, had very few learners.
Even the spell secret manual couldn't fetch a high price.
It was simply too troublesome.
To cast it normally, it seemed that one would have to wait until reaching the Perfect level.
Compared to Mountain Collapse, the Blazing Sun Technique's requirement for accumulation had already been solved by Luo Chen.
The solution was simple!
In the Divine Craft Sect's treasure trove, Sima Huiwang found the authentic Blazing Sun Technique manual for him.
In fact, Luo Chen's previously invincible Blazing Sun Technique was just a pirated version.
It was all for show!
The power actually came from the infinite stacking of the Perfect Fireball Technique.
After obtaining the authentic Blazing Sun Technique manual, Luo Chen mastered it in less than two hours.
Its principle was almost the same as his pirated version, just an expanded Fireball Technique.
There were some special techniques when casting it, which made it less cumbersome and allowed it to form directly.
The advantage was increased speed.
The downside was that the power couldn't be infinitely stacked.
It was a give and take situation!
Luo Chen didn't mind this too much. As a fire-type spell, Mountain Collapse had more potential than the Blazing Sun Technique, so he had no reason to choose the lesser option.
Using the Blazing Sun Technique as a regular spell would undoubtedly enrich his combat abilities.
Moreover, he could still use his original technique when he had enough space.
Thanks to his previous accumulation, the Blazing Sun Technique immediately reached the Master level upon learning.
Not even a single achievement point was awarded, which hurt Luo Chen.
After rearranging the spell section, Luo Chen scanned through the panel again.
His lifespan limit had increased from 190 to 205 years.
Luo Chen had been keeping an eye on this.
The additional fifteen years came from realm breakthroughs, ten years from realm advancement, and five years from the mutated Wood-type spiritual power cultivation from the Yi Mu Medicine King Sutra and the progress bar of his physical strength level.
As the saying goes, a healthy body leads to a long life!
In the Cultivation Techniques section, the only significant change was the disappearance of the Master-level entry for the Yi Mu Medicine King Sutra.
After advancing to the Perfect level, it automatically transformed into the Eternal Youth Sutra.
Similar to his previous transition from the Eternal Spring Technique to the Yi Mu Medicine King Sutra, due to his deep accumulation, the proficiency also directly reached the Perfect level after the transformation.
This process only provided the achievement point that was originally given for reaching the Perfect level in the previous cultivation technique.
Luo Chen felt a bit disappointed.
In terms of Alchemy, there was a slight improvement due to his year-long seclusion for pill refining.
Washing Stream Hand was nearing perfection, and Cloud Transformation Hand had advanced to the Master level.
In recent days, he had also learned the Foundation Nourishing Hand.
Unfortunately, the Scales Transformation Technique seemed extraordinary, but he couldn't grasp it after several attempts.
In terms of Martial Arts, his progress in Heavenly Maiden Scatter Flowers was extremely slow, which was related to the fact that he had not continued practicing the hidden weapon techniques associated with it.
In reality, the enhancement effect of controlling magical treasures through this skill had already become almost negligible.
He didn't care about it at all.
When he needed Achievement Points, he would just grind for them all at once!
As for the special hidden weapons, it wasn't a difficult task for the Celestial Assembly, which was now brimming with talented individuals.
It would only take a word from him, and naturally, someone would deliver them to his doorstep.
Instead, he had been consistently practicing the Five Organs Nourishing Fist from the Wang Family Secret Book.
He could feel that his five organs were becoming increasingly robust.
According to Wang Yuan, once the organs were trained to completion, he would be able to accumulate a vast amount of vital energy within his five organs.
The Five Essences would come from this!
At that time, he might even try to learn the Gigantic Transformation from Wang Yuan.
"This set of fist techniques can be further cultivated, and it's quite beneficial to me."
"As for the Gigantic Transformation... not even dogs would learn it!"
He thought of how Wang Yuan always transformed completely naked.
The muscular physique was one thing, but the bulge in his crotch was a bit of a mental attack.
Especially now that he was bald, sporting a big shiny head.
Once he transformed...
"Hiss!"
Luo Chen gasped, shaking his head frantically. This was something he couldn't let enter his mind!
The style was too beautiful, he dared not look! How could it compare to his elegant appearance with a fluttering Daoist robe, or even the grace he exuded when casting spells?
Even when casting spells, Luo Chen had a certain flair.
He had even earned the Daoist name "Fire Spirit Lord" due to his exquisite spellcasting skills.
Regarding Skills, there wasn't much to say.
The only thing worth mentioning was that he had perfected his proficiency in the Jade Dew Pill.
He could now refine Middle-grade Jade Dew Pills.
Moreover, his success rate in pill refinement was maintained at over 40%.
Once, with the help of the Ice Emperor Cauldron's ability to enhance the grade of pills, he accidentally refined a Superior-grade Jade Dew Pill.
That was indeed a pleasant surprise.
Speaking of which, Luo Chen now had over a hundred Middle-grade Jade Dew Pills in his possession, all accumulated and not yet sold.
He was constrained by his initial promise.
He couldn't sell these Jade Dew Pills to any other power besides the Ice Fortress.
The few times he gave some to others, it was to Gu Caiyi of the Celestial Assembly.
This didn't count as a breach of contract! But Gu Caiyi was only at the Qi Condensation stage, how many could she digest? At most, ten pills a year.
Even then, it was only possible because Luo Chen had specifically researched a secret technique to assist her in taking these pills beyond her cultivation level.
"With so many pills in hand, I must find a way to sell them, or the loss will be too great!"
The cost of Jade Dew Pills had always been an issue.
Unfortunately, he couldn't sell the Low-grade Jade Dew Pills at a higher price.
"It's been a few years since I initially reached an agreement with Dantu Jinlai."
"Given my reputation as Dan Chenzi, the Pill Refinement Master, specializing in refining Middle-grade Jade Dew Pills with the help of the Ice Emperor Cauldron to enhance their grade, it's not something that will shock the world."
"I believe Dantu Jinlai and the Cold-Hearted Fairy will accept this."
Luo Chen had already planned to gradually reveal his ability to refine Middle-grade Jade Dew Pills.
The reason didn't have to be too convincing.
Given the doubled potency of the pills, they wouldn't pay attention to such details.
He would gradually reveal this ability and then proceed with bulk sales.
He couldn't raise the price of the Low-grade Jade Dew Pills.
But when it came to Middle-grade pills, the Cold-Hearted Fairy would have to pay in gold and silver to procure them from him!
After checking his attribute panel, Luo Chen didn't cultivate further.
Cultivating twice a day, with the assistance of the Fiery God Incense, was already considered the "limit."
Continuing to cultivate would affect other tasks for the next day.
Cultivation required a balance of tension and relaxation.
...
The night passed without incident.
The next day, Luo Chen had a lot to say.
Because Yuan Dongsheng had arrived at his place.
Luo Chen sat on the edge of the Tier 2 Spirit Field, holding a scroll of pill refinement techniques, chatting with Yuan Dongsheng about various topics.
The growth of the Spirit Field.
The recent allocation of new resources within the Celestial Assembly.
The progress of Sima Huiwang's large-scale recruitment drive.
The newly established Beast Hall and the arrival of several Qi Condensation stage Beastmasters for recruitment.
Yuan Dongsheng tirelessly discussed these matters with Luo Chen while his hands never stopped working.
He even took the time to teach Luo Chen a Spirit Plant Technique.
Tier 2 Spirit Plant Technique - Grass Cutting Golden Sword Technique.
This technique was a Metal-type offensive spell.
However, it wasn't specifically targeted at humans.
Its primary purpose was to precisely kill various pests that appeared within the Spirit Field.
Other spells could also kill pests, but due to the diffusion of essence qi, they often harmed the crops within the Spirit Field.
With the Grass Cutting Golden Sword Technique, he wouldn't have to worry about this anymore.
This was not only a Metal-type spell but also contained a portion of Wood-type spiritual power.
After killing pests, it could even decompose them, turning them into nutrients to nourish the Spirit Field crops.
"This is the only Tier 2 spell I've mastered, and I have to be extremely careful each time I use it."
"In a year, I usually only cast it twice."
When it came to Spirit Plant Techniques, Yuan Dongsheng was quite proud.
However, when he saw Luo Chen experimenting with it a few times and successfully emitting a sword qi, he was completely dumbfounded.
"Haha, I have a bit of talent in Spells," Luo Chen chuckled.
Yuan Dongsheng was stunned.
A bit of talent?
What about his proud Spirit Plant talent?
Little did he know that Luo Chen had found a clever trick.
Although the Grass-Reaping Golden Sword Technique seemed like a Metal-type Spell, it was actually based on Wood-type Spells.
With the blessing of the Eternal Youth Sutra, he had an easier time mastering Wood-type Spells.
Moreover, this technique was more like a sword technique.
In reality, it was somewhat similar to a basic application of Spirit Energy, where one simply released the accumulated Spirit Qi.
The technique resembled Luo Chen's early Jade Marrow Pearl killing move.
It was for this reason that he quickly found the trick after a few simple attempts.
"I've now learned all five elemental Spells—Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth!"
"Although, the Metal-type is a Spirit Plant Spell."
Luo Chen smiled and stood up from the edge of the field.
Yuan Dongsheng also walked out of the Spirit Field, feeling a sense of awe.
This Tier 2 Spirit Field's soil was imbued with extremely high Spirit Qi, and the Brilliant Star Grass grew exceptionally well. Even the Yin Moon Flower and Warm Sun Wood had already taken on a rudimentary form.
In a few years, they could be harvested.
By then, they would earn at least tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.
It would serve as a supplement to the enormous rent of the Superior Crystal Cavern!
"It would be great if the Luo Tian Assembly could produce a few Tier 2 Spirit Fields."
Luo Chen now knew that the grade of a Spirit Field was not limited by the grade of the Spirit Land.
As long as one was willing to invest the corresponding resources, it could be upgraded.
He patted Yuan Dongsheng's shoulder.
"It will happen, everything will happen!"
Yuan Dongsheng nodded. He had already started working on this aspect.
The Luo Tian Assembly had sent people to help the Li family catch Green Scaled Dragon Fish and protect their Washing Flower Pond.
The captured Green Scaled Dragon Fish were not killed but brought back to be bred.
Their excrement could effectively enhance the grade of Spirit Fields.
Additionally, the scales of the Green Scaled Dragon Fish were a popular ingredient often purchased by major restaurants.
It was said that they were especially delicious when fried!
Before leaving, Yuan Dongsheng suddenly remembered something.
"President!"
"Hmm?"
"The CEO said there's news about complete Beast corpses."
Luo Chen's eyes lit up. "Are they Tier 2 Beasts?"
Yuan Dongsheng replied uncertainly, "There should be! It's said that this time, it's a large batch of Beast corpses, transported from the Snow Lotus Market near the Great Snow Mountain."
With this information, Luo Chen's confidence grew.
If they were Tier 1 Beasts, there was no reason to transport them from so far away; the profit would be too low.
It was highly likely that they were Tier 2 Beast corpses!
If there were complete ones, that would be perfect.
Without hesitation, Luo Chen immediately accompanied Yuan Dongsheng out of Tianlan Peak, heading straight for the Luo Tian Assembly.
...
Three days later.
In Heavenly Wave Immortal City, at the entrance of a large shop named Snow Lotus Pavilion.
Luo Chen and Wang Yuan walked in together.
But upon seeing an old acquaintance, Shi Boying, they were taken aback.
Luo Chen stepped out of the doorway and glanced at the sign again.
"It's correct, it's Snow Lotus Pavilion, not Ice Wave Palace."
Shi Boying, who was greeting customers, also noticed them and enthusiastically greeted them.
"Fire Spirit Lord, it's been a while."
"Fellow Daoist Shi, we're just fellow cultivators, no need for such formality," Luo Chen cupped his hands in greeting. "Moreover, in front of a senior like you, how dare I boast?"
Shi Boying's aged face broke into a radiant smile.
"That won't do!"
"My Foundation Establishment is merely a stroke of luck, sheltered by the sect. How can I compare to you, who earned your position through true skill?"
Luo Chen sighed and pointed outside.
"Does this Snow Lotus Pavilion have something to do with you?"
Shi Boying shook his head. "Not much."
"Huh?"
"But Snow Lotus Pavilion is one of my Ice Fortress's industries."
Seeing Luo Chen's confusion, Shi Boying briefly explained.
Apparently, the area near the Great Snow Mountain had three large markets, all belonging to the Ice Fortress.
Moreover, they regularly dispatched Foundation Establishment cultivators to station there.
Not only did they collect resources, but they also recruited loose cultivators with excellent talents into the Ice Fortress.
"Every year, the markets below send their collected resources to Heavenly Wave Immortal City. Even if we aren't the current managing sect, we still send people to help with some tasks."
"After all, the people below don't have many connections in Heavenly Wave Immortal City."
"I personally take care of it, and it's easier to sell the items."
At this point, she looked at Luo Chen and Wang Yuan.
"Are you here to participate in the small auction today?"
Wang Yuan remained silent.
When traveling, he had already gotten used to following Luo Chen's lead.
Dealing with others was not suitable for a bitter cultivator like him.
Luo Chen nodded and casually mentioned some materials, including Beasts.
"I hope you have a fruitful auction today!"
Shi Boying smiled slightly and sent a sound transmission into the main hall.
Soon after, a young woman hurriedly came out.
"Senior Sister, do you have any instructions?"
A familiar figure, a familiar voice.
Luo Chen and Wang Yuan almost simultaneously exchanged glances.
It was her!
