"

But he didn't expect that.

As soon as he asked,

A look of sorrow appeared on Lady Yinsha's face.

"My husband... unfortunately met his end in the cave mansion of the powerful cultivator White Night."

Luo Chen was astonished.

But there was a hint of satisfaction in his heart.

What a great way to die!

When he was recuperating, Yinsha was the first to try to kill him.

Yinsha was clearly a cultivator of the Wrath Qi Body Cultivation path and was extremely powerful.

If it weren’t for the fortunate achievement of a Primordial Third Stage Physique back then, that palm strike would have likely left me severely injured.

None of these renowned Loose Cultivators are weak; each of them has at least one or two formidable techniques.

Now, knowing that his enemy has fallen, how could he not feel elated! Of course, he still maintained a semblance of sympathy on his face.

"Rest in peace!"

To his surprise, the sorrowful expression on the Yinsha Lady's face vanished instantly, replaced by a beaming smile.

"What is there to grieve! Although he is dead, he has brought me a great opportunity. What a good death!"

"Uh..."

Luo Chen was genuinely taken aback.

However, the other three reacted similarly, which was quite intriguing.

"May I ask what this great opportunity is?"

A black bamboo scroll was held in the Yinsha Lady's hand.

He Lianyun cautiously said, "This is the reason I invited you, Dan Chenzi, to this meeting today."

Luo Chen looked at the black bamboo scroll, "Is this the opportunity?"

"Yes!" The Yinsha Lady smiled gently, "As long as Fellow Daoist swears not to tell anyone about today's matter, regardless of whether our cooperation succeeds or fails, I can share this opportunity with you."

The others also nodded in agreement.

It seemed they had already reached a consensus.

However!

Luo Chen sneered and played with the teacup in front of him.

"What if I don't?"

...

These four words echoed in the ears of the four people, and all of their faces changed.

Luo Chen sneered, "We are all at the late Foundation Establishment Stage, on the verge of Core Formation. How can we easily take such an oath? If we accidentally go astray during Core Formation due to the oath, I don't want to bear that risk!"

For a moment, the four people looked at each other in silence.

Luo Chen didn't care about their expressions.

The lower the cultivation realm, the less they take oaths seriously.

Conversely, the higher the realm, the less likely they are to take an oath lightly.

Because the higher the realm, the more likely one is to encounter heart demon tribulations.

And Luo Chen truly feared this like a tiger!

During the Qi Condensation stage, he had nearly gone astray due to excessive fatigue and Gu Caiyi's words. If it weren't for the stimulation from Su Xiuxiu's Moonlight Grass and his early realization, he might have lost all his cultivation.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, just three years ago, he had fallen into a demonic state again due to rapid progress and being blinded by hatred.

Fortunately, he relied on his strategies and various trump cards to forcefully eliminate his great enemy and push through.

Otherwise!

If the Flame Alliance and Qin Taiyan had survived, his Dao heart would have been tainted, and he would no longer have the current vigorous and progressive heart.

Not to mention the future Golden Core path!

With this precedent, Luo Chen was now more cautious about making oaths and alliances.

Unless absolutely necessary, he would never take an oath lightly.

Seeing the hesitant expressions of the four people, Luo Chen sneered, put down his teacup, and said, "Forget it!"

"I won't touch this opportunity of yours."

"Today, I consider it a pleasure to meet a few Fellow Daoists, adding a bit more connection to my cultivation journey."

With that, he got up and walked toward the main door.

In his heart!

There was already a faint trace of killing intent!

Xiao Sanren and the Yinsha Lady had ambushed him years ago, though they didn't recognize him. But they had a deep-seated enmity!

Now, with this so-called opportunity in front of him.

Luo Chen was no pious man or virtuous woman.

Once he left this place, and they left this Immortal City, they would face the full-scale attack of the Luo Tian Association!

Then, his great enmity would be avenged, and the opportunity would be in his hands. Why should he humiliate himself by begging for their favor?

Just as he was about to reach the door.

"Wait!"

Luo Chen paused, turned around, and the killing intent suddenly spread.

"What, are you going to force me to stay?"

Facing this unmasked killing intent, the four people's expressions changed drastically.

He Lianyun, who was at the forefront, even broke out in a cold sweat.

He wiped his forehead and quickly said, "Fellow Daoist, why be so hasty? We can still discuss this matter!"

Without waiting for Luo Chen's response, he immediately said to the other three, "You invited me to invite Fellow Daoist Dan Chenzi not only because of his alchemy skills, which even the Green Cauldron Valley admires, but also because of his gentlemanly conduct, right?"

"If you don't trust Fellow Daoist Dan Chenzi, then surely you trust the reputation of the Fire Spirit Lord, right?"

These words eased the expressions of the three people.

Indeed!

The title "Fire Spirit Lord" didn't just praise Luo Chen's combat prowess. The "Lord" part referred to his gentlemanly and trustworthy character.

Over the past few decades, Luo Chen's actions had indeed lived up to the title of a gentleman.

The Li family of the Qinhua River, whom he had protected, not only avoided being swallowed up but also developed better and better.

The head of the Li family was now thriving in the Luo Tian Association, holding important positions and respected by all.

The Li family had even produced a second Foundation Establishment True Cultivator!

Moreover, Luo Chen had remained loyal to the Luo Tian Association, traveling far and wide to avenge his great enmity, personally leading people to attack the Flame Alliance.

This perfectly matched the saying that a gentleman repays kindness and avenges enmity!

Such a person, why bind with an oath?

He Lianyun sighed in relief and turned to Luo Chen again.

"As long as Fellow Daoist promises not to spread this matter, there's no need to take a grand oath."

With these words, it would indeed be impolite for Luo Chen not to agree.

Besides, the others had given him a great deal of respect!

"He suppressed that murderous intent, smiled faintly, and immediately promised not to divulge the so-called accidental encounter."

"As for such a promise, what is its real value among the deceitful and cunning cultivators?"

Well, that's hard to say!

After his promise, the tense atmosphere in the house completely eased up.

Helian Yun nodded in indication.

"The Lady of the Netherworld nodded and said, 'Although it can't be said that the White Night Cave Manor is full of opportunities, even just a fingernail's worth of the Great Divine Being's remnants is a vast and coveted opportunity for practitioners like ourselves!'"

That's correct.

For a being of immense divine power, such materials are merely decorations for a secluded corner of the palace.

“At the outset, my husband and I, with nothing to our name, ventured into the central region of the White Night Citadel.”

"In an outer pavilion, we encountered a group from the Sect's headquarters engaged in an all-out brawl, and subsequently, we also joined in."

"In the end, we obtained this bamboo scroll, at the cost of my husband's demise."

Speaking of this, Yinsha Lady couldn't help but shake her head, her face showing a hint of lingering fear.

Evidently, that battle back then was indeed very dangerous.

Luo Chen became curious, "Then what is this bamboo slip? What makes it such a great opportunity for you all?"

Yinsha Lady's spirit lifted, "For others, it's not a big opportunity. But for us, it's a one-of-a-kind existence!"

"Because this bamboo slip records the pill formula for a Core Formation Spirit Herb!"

Upon hearing this, He Lianyun's trio couldn't help but reveal their longing.

Luo Chen suddenly understood.

If it were any other resource, no matter how precious, it could be valued and exchanged.

But for something related to Core Formation, for a group of late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators like them, it's worth betting their entire fortune on.

However...

"A Core Formation Spirit Herb?" He pouted, showing his indifference.

Seeing his attitude, He Lianyun grew anxious.

"Daoist friend, don't underestimate this pill!"

"This is not something that can be compared to Ice Wind Pills or Rising Dragon Pills. Even the Supreme Pill of Jade Cauldron Sword Sect and the Evergreen Pill of Medicine King Sect might not be as effective as this pill!"

Luo Chen's eyes lit up, "Is it that profound?"

This time, the usually quiet herb gatherer, Fu Jiusheng, spoke up.

He cleared his throat and said, "If you've seen the pill formula, you'll know that Yinsha Lady and Lianyun Great Elder are not exaggerating. This formula is derived from the Dark Sea Pill of Mysterious Abyss Sect, making it simpler to refine, yet more potent. If we can refine it, consuming it will increase the chances of Core Formation by twenty percent!"

"Give it to me!"

Luo Chen directly reached out his hand.

His direct manner caught the trio off guard.

Today, Luo Chen's actions were domineering and arrogant, yet he was also careful and carefree.

Now, directly asking for the pill formula, it was even more...

Luo Chen confidently looked at the four of them.

"You've sought me out, and your intentions are clear."

"In your eyes, I'm the most suitable person to refine this pill."

"Since that's the case, why drag it out? Let me have a look!"

Under such strong confidence...

Yinsha Lady, holding the pitch-black bamboo slip, hesitated for a moment.

He Lianyun signaled her with a glance.

"Go ahead and let him see it!"

"As he said, among those who can refine Tier Three pills, aside from the alchemists personally trained by the great sects, in the vast Jade Cauldron Domain, there's only Dan Chenzi, the Daoist friend."

Yinsha Lady finally understood this, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Luo Chen's thoughts were so clear and transparent, and he had figured out the cause and effect so quickly.

Reluctantly, she handed the pitch-black bamboo slip to Luo Chen.

Halfway through the exchange, as if remembering something, she belatedly said, "Be careful, this bamboo slip is made from Thunder Bamboo and carries thunder power..."

Zzz...

A streak of electric arc flashed by.

Luo Chen's eyebrows furrowed, but he didn't let go of the bamboo slip.

He gave Yinsha Lady a half-smile, and then, in front of the four of them, he started browsing through the pill formula.

Seeing this, Yinsha Lady's face turned red and then pale.

She had indeed intended for Luo Chen to make a fool of himself.

However, she never expected!

He completely ignored the thunder power emitted by the Thunder Bamboo.

Although the thunder power itself wasn't strong, it could, at most, cause a momentary paralysis.

But Luo Chen's effortless dissipation of it was truly startling.

Especially since he had seen through her intentions, which made her feel quite embarrassed.

He Lianyun shook his head and didn't say anything.

He just exchanged a glance with Fu Jiusheng, and they both felt relieved.

For a moment!

The room became completely quiet.

Only Luo Chen's muttering could be heard from time to time.

"Cold Star Grass, Five-Hundred-Year-Old Dark Blue Herb, Crimson Crystal Jujube..."

Each term represented the name of a medicinal herb, mostly auxiliary materials.

But each auxiliary material was not something commonly found.

On the contrary, although they were all Tier Two materials, they were all very precious.

Especially the three main ingredients! "Heavenly Mountain Rejuvenation Water, Nine-Striped Snake Saliva Fruit, Indigo Thunder Flower."

"Hiss!"

Seeing the names of these three main ingredients, even Luo Chen, who was well-versed in the Hundred Herbs Chart and had personally handled many good medicinal herbs, couldn't help but gasp.

These were all Tier Three materials! And each one was extremely precious, inherently containing some minor auxiliary effects for Core Formation.

Just like the Heavenly Mountain Rejuvenation Water.

This name was very familiar.

Because among the various auxiliary resources for breaking through the Foundation Establishment Stage, there was a Tier One Spirit Herb called Rejuvenation Water, which was a specialty of Medicine King Sect.

But in reality, it was a simplified version of the Heavenly Mountain Rejuvenation Water.

The real Heavenly Mountain Rejuvenation Water was a Tier Three herb, and it was extremely difficult to find.

As for the other two, the Nine-Striped Snake Saliva Fruit, was the companion herb of the Tier Three Nine-Striped Snow Serpent, and it couldn't be transported.

It had to be picked and refined on the spot.

Even the harvesting method was not something an ordinary person could master.

And the Indigo Thunder Flower was a rumored Heavenly Earth Treasure, said to be Tier Three, but even harder to find than Tier Four Spirit Herbs.

Seeing Luo Chen's troubled expression, the four of them asked in unison, "Can it be refined?"

Luo Chen rolled his eyes, "It's not a question of whether it can be refined, but where can we find these dozens of auxiliary materials and the three main ingredients?"

After hearing this, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Chen looked at them in surprise.

"Could it be?"

Yinsha Lady patted her ample chest and tremblingly said, "If it can be refined, that's great!"

He Lianyun was extremely excited, "Core Formation is within reach, and the Golden Core path is in sight!"

Fu Jiusheng also nodded slightly, his gaze towards Luo Chen containing a hint of reverence.

He knew many alchemists, including Tier Three Master Alchemists from Medicine King Sect.

But those were all elderly experts with profound cultivation.

For someone like Luo Chen, at the Foundation Establishment Stage, to have such confidence, it was truly extraordinary!

He slowly said, "As long as you can refine it, we are confident in gathering all the materials!"

After hearing this, Luo Chen's expression became solemn.

These people must have prepared for a long time for this day!

I'm feeling unwell today, so I just finished writing this now, and haven't had time to edit it. I'll post it first, and you can refresh in a while to check for any changes, but the main plot should remain the same. Apologies.

Edited, added a few sentences, and revised some words, but there are no major changes.

Almost, I was about to skip a chapter, but I'm relieved.

In consideration of the 7,000 to 8,000 votes during the National Day holiday, please ask for monthly votes, thank you everyone!
