Chapter 845: Pill Sect's Reopening and the Dao Discussion at Shouyang Mountain

Deep within the earth veins of the Great Green Mountain, Luo Chen stood in a cave, a faint smile on his face.

The Black King had not deceived him; indeed, a spirit vortex had formed here.

Coincidentally, with the destruction of the Splendor Palace, the spirit-sealing formation had a gap, which, while not causing the spiritual energy to dissipate, did reduce its restraining power.

Additionally, with the Black King's innate talent for absorbing spirits, he forcefully gathered a Fourth Stage Spirit Vortex at this earth vein node.

If nurtured properly, supplemented with relevant spirit-gathering formations, who knows, in a hundred or even a thousand years, Bai Li Qing Chuan might evolve into a Fourth Stage Spirit Vein!

In the past, Luo Chen would have been overjoyed.

But at this moment, he was only happy for an instant.

"Bai Li Qing Chuan is ultimately too small."

"Not to mention establishing a sect, even supporting my cultivation alone is far from sufficient, even with an additional Fourth Stage Spirit Vortex."

The smile on Luo Chen's face gradually faded.

He glanced at the puppet standing behind him, now completely shrouded in a black robe.

"Golden Feather..." Luo Chen shook his head, feeling uncomfortable with the name, "From now on, I'll call you Golden Three!"

Having decided on the new name, he moved his thoughts, and Golden Three leaped into the spirit vortex, sitting cross-legged.

A large amount of spiritual energy was attracted and began to gather within its body.

The puppet needed to be nurtured and cultivated! This was how Uncle Mi's physical body-made puppet had been created.

Heavenly Star Master had found a Second Stage Spirit Vein and nurtured it for many years before a junior came to collect it.

Luo Chen's puppet had an even stronger foundation, made from more precious materials, especially since Luo Chen had infused his own flesh and blood into it, combining the ancient puppetry path of the Falling Cloud Sect. The nurturing requirements were even more stringent.

The Fourth Stage Spirit Vortex appeared just in time!

"Nurture it well and deepen your understanding of the puppetry path at the same time!"

After giving the order, Luo Chen walked out.

Next, he had to return to Ling Tian Pass.

...

Whoosh!

A flying shuttle broke through the clouds and mist, speeding through the sky.

A white-robed Taoist sat within, continuously casting spells towards a floating ring in mid-air.

Suddenly, he wiped his hand over the ring, and it instantly emitted a golden light before disappearing without a trace.

"Finally unlocked!"

This ring was Golden Feather's storage ring!

In the past, Luo Chen would have needed at least half a year, or even several years, to unlock a storage ring of a peer cultivator.

But with his advancement to the Fourth Stage in formation mastery and the increasing depth of his divine soul, unlocking the remaining restrictions had become much easier.

This time, he only spent a month to effortlessly unlock the restrictions left by Golden Feather.

With a thought, his divine sense entered the ring.

After a long while, Luo Chen slowly withdrew his divine sense, now holding several books in his hand.

"Life-Taking Three Golden Feathers"

"Quintessence Five Elements Pill"

"Golden Escape Technique"

...

Golden Feather's inheritance was much more modest than he had imagined.

Whether it was spirit stones or pills, there were only a few.

This was actually quite in line with the current situation of most cultivators after over a hundred years of battle; directly usable cultivation resources were becoming increasingly scarce.

The most he had were various types of minerals.

These were the most valuable part of the inheritance.

If Luo Chen wanted to refine any treasures in the future, these minerals would be of great use.

Currently, he was most interested in the cultivation techniques and books from the Five Elements Divine Sect.

"How is there also a pill formula?"

Luo Chen picked up the pill formula for the Quintessence Five Elements Pill and began to read.

This famous pill, Luo Chen was familiar with; when he was forming his Golden Core, Golden Three had sent him one.

He had consumed it!

The Quintessence Five Elements Pill, also adhering to the concept of balancing the Five Elements, was far superior to the Starlight Pill.

But as Luo Chen's knowledge grew, while he still praised the Five Elements Pill, he felt that calling it a "Divine Pill" was somewhat exaggerated.

However, as Luo Chen flipped through the pill formula, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"It's an incomplete formula?"

He never expected that the most renowned pill of the Divine Sect, the Quintessence Five Elements Pill, was only derived from an incomplete formula.

This obviously copied formula recorded the general situation, and when the complete Quintessence Five Elements Pill was refined, it would be at the Fifth Stage level.

It truly lived up to its name as a Divine Pill!

The reason the Five Elements Divine Sect couldn't refine it was that they lacked too much information.

They only had some pharmacological knowledge and a few material names.

If one were to classify it by completeness, it would probably be only one-tenth, even more incomplete than the formula for the Daogu Pill.

"This is too incomplete; even I can't supplement it."

After a quick glance, Luo Chen abandoned the idea of completing the formula.

There were too many specific material names missing, and he could only roughly outline the framework based on the pharmacology, but he had no control over the specific properties.

Even if he spent hundreds of years, there might not be any results.

Putting away the pill formula, Luo Chen's gaze swept over the other books.

Some unimportant details can be skipped over and treated as the lower-tier inheritance of the Luo Tian Sect.

Finally, attention fell on the two highest-grade tomes.

"Life-Taking Three Golden Feathers" was most likely Jin Ling's primary cultivation technique, and it was also the origin of her Dao title.

After a brief perusal, Luo Chen understood that this was a very comprehensive Fourth Stage Golden attribute cultivation technique.

Not only did it record the corresponding cultivation methods, but it also included three Fourth Stage Golden attribute spells and the refining method for the Life-Taking Golden Feather.

[Obtain the Crimson Phoenix Feather, using a large amount of Superior Metal... If there's Superior Nine Yang Metal, it's the best!]

Luo Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he thought of this demonic beast.

Previously, he had encountered Jinxiu Immortal, whose original body was rumored to be a Crimson Phoenix.

This type of demonic beast, aside from its beautiful appearance and splendid feathers, was unremarkable in all other aspects.

It was not easy for Jinxiu Immortal to achieve the status of a Great Demon Sovereign in the form of a Crimson Phoenix.

However, he never expected that their feathers, when specially refined, would possess such formidable killing power.

Superior Metal?

Luo Chen remembered that he still had a top-grade Superior Nine Yang Metal that had been idle all this time.

"If I use my Superior Nine Yang Metal and Jinxiu Immortal's feathers to refine the Life-Taking Golden Feather, it might be even more powerful!"

Luo Chen smiled and put down the cultivation technique.

But suddenly, he picked it up again and examined it for a moment.

The Five Elements Divine Sect, as its name suggests, is a sect that cultivates the Five Elements path. At its peak, the sect not only had the Supreme True Monarch Shen Yuan, but also the Five Peaks Elder, making it one of the most formidable new Primordial Spirit level sects in the Eastern Wilderness.

Even compared to the Dongyang Sect and the Celestial Capital Sect, it was not at all inferior.

Luo Chen had never seen the cultivation techniques of Divine Flame Master and Rigid Wood Master, but judging from Jin Ling's cultivation technique, it was clear that they focused on extreme single attributes.

This way, not only was their cultivation speed extremely fast, but their combat strength was also not weak.

Like Luo Chen, he later realized this principle and devoted all his energy to the Fire attribute.

Then a question arose.

How powerful was the Divine Essence Old Rogue, who cultivated the Five Elements?

Although he was defeated by Qing Shuang, he was the only survivor among the three Great Cultivators in Cangwu Mountain.

Such an existence, would he dare not go to Daguang Mountain just because he had joined forces with Jiu Ling Yanyun?

Holding the book, Luo Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It seems the injuries he sustained in Cangwu Mountain were even more severe than I imagined!"

Muttering to himself, Luo Chen casually picked up the remaining tome, "Golden Escape Technique".

...

As soon as Luo Chen returned to Heaven Ascending Pass, he sensed the unusual atmosphere.

The Primordial Spirit cultivators in the city were not as leisurely as usual but were actively patrolling various areas.

It was as if they were guarding against something.

Luo Chen immediately sought out Lin Qingxuan, the closest to him, to inquire about the situation.

"What happened?"

Lin Qingxuan shook his head, "I don't know. About half a month ago, Thunder Daoist from the Abyss Sect came. After that, the Lingtian Lord instructed us to be cautious and patrol the areas."

Upon hearing the name "Thunder Daoist", Luo Chen's expression changed slightly.

How did he come back?

And upon his return, he displayed such an attitude. Could it be that he had captured Gao Chang?

If that were true, why didn't he take him back to the Abyss Sect or directly kill him? Instead, he brought him to Heaven Ascending Pass. Numerous questions arose.

Lin Qingxuan didn't understand why Luo Chen's expression changed, but he asked about another matter.

"Li Pavilion Master is dead. What about the Jade Emperor Pupil Elixir?"

Luo Chen snapped out of his thoughts and forced a smile, "I was the one who initiated the trade with him, but you were also involved. Now that he's dead, do you still want to continue the trade?"

Lin Qingxuan's face lit up with joy, "Is the Pill Sect still willing to continue the trade?"

Luo Chen controlled his emotions and calmed down, "You and I have a connection, and the pill formula comes from the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect. If you want to continue, our sect won't refuse. However, the medicinal ingredients that were previously provided by the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion will now be your responsibility."

"That's not a problem!" Lin Qingxuan replied without hesitation.

Luo Chen nodded, "As for the distribution, considering Li Pavilion Master's unfortunate demise, we'll need to reallocate it."

Lin Qingxuan also nodded, "I know when to back down. How about we go with the original fifty-fifty split you suggested?"

Initially, Luo Chen had proposed a fifty-fifty split, with him taking half.

Later, Luo Chen compromised and changed it to a forty-sixty split, with him taking forty percent and the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion and Jade Cauldron Sword Sect taking sixty percent. How they divided it between themselves was their own business.

Now, Lin Qingxuan felt that the two sides were not on equal footing, so he readily agreed.

However!

"Eighty-twenty, I take eighty, and you take twenty!" Luo Chen said indifferently.

Lin Qingxuan's pupils constricted, and he found it hard to believe.

"If you agree, then we'll continue the cooperation. If not, our sect doesn't mind putting in more effort to send people to collect those lower-tier materials."

Beneath the casual words was an unconcealed display of dominance.

Subconsciously, Lin Qingxuan clenched his fist, his nails almost piercing his flesh.

But soon, he let go with a forced smile on his face.

"How about eighty-two percent?"

Luochen chuckled lightly, "You're being generous. Rest assured, I won't let you lose out. As my sect's pill refinement techniques improve day by day, the Jade Emperor Pupil Elixir will only get better and better."

Lin Qingxuan managed a weak smile.

"I plan to take some time to invite fellow cultivators to meet at Shouyang Mountain. Lin Daoyou, you can come and support me then."

After leaving these words, Luochen departed without a care.

Only Lin Qingxuan was left standing there, his forced smile fading into a dejected expression.

The gap between him and Luochen was growing wider.

Not only in terms of strength but also in status.

Especially without Li Pavilion Master, he no longer had the qualification to bargain with Luochen.

But he couldn't give up on the Jade Emperor Pupil Elixir! After experiencing the effects of that spiritual liquid, he knew it was the only thing that could enhance his strength the fastest in a short period.

Currently, only Luochen could refine it.

Moreover, he had only received a twenty percent share before, and now it remained the same, which wasn't bad.

Still, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed!

...

Luochen didn't care what the other party was thinking.

In fact, he was being soft-hearted about this matter.

Without Li Pavilion Master, he didn't need to continue their cooperative trade.

It was just that considering the persona he had built before, such a sudden change of heart would make him seem ruthless and invite gossip. Additionally, with the Luo Tian Sect's current shortage of personnel, it would be difficult to collect those materials again.

So, he chose to continue trading with Lin Qingxuan.

What concerned him the most now was the situation with Thunder Daoist from the Mystical Abyss Holy Land.

As soon as he returned to Pill Mountain, Luochen personally began writing invitation scrolls.

[Recalling the past, we gathered at Shouyang Mountain to discuss the Dao, and amidst the clinking of cups and laughter, we were all merry. However, after the fall of Ling Tian, we were separated and scattered across the four directions, never able to meet again. I still remember the Shouyang Mountain Man's words before his departure, hoping to gather again at Shouyang after the war...]

With a flourish of his brush, the words appeared on the paper.

After signing his name, Luochen handed the scroll to a disciple.

"Deliver this to the Grand Palace Master of Splendor Palace!"

Then, he wrote again.

"This one is for Jiu Ling Yanyun."

"This one is for..."

In a short time, Luochen sent out over a dozen invitation scrolls.

Among them were not only those with whom he had good relations but also some with whom he had only a passing acquaintance.

Towards the end, Luochen even sent invitation scrolls to some Primordial Spirit True Monarchs whose names he had heard but had never met.

Deep into the night, Luochen sat alone, deep in thought.

"After a great war, one should lie low and bide their time."

"However, if my previous guess is correct, the situation may reach its peak in an instant, and even Essence Transformation Powerhouses might take action."

"In such a situation, the Mystical Abyss Holy Land is still being secretive; their intentions are despicable!"

"Only by uniting can we force them to reveal their true colors."

"The Shouyang Mountain is their territory, and now that I'm initiating it in my name, they surely won't remain indifferent!"

After figuring all this out, Luochen's heart still felt apprehensive.

By organizing the Shouyang Mountain gathering in his name, he not only wanted to force the Mystical Abyss Holy Land to reveal the truth but also wanted to take the opportunity to see their attitude towards him.

Over the years, the residences of other Primordial Spirit True Monarchs had been constantly changing.

Only he, favored by the Ling Tian Lord, lived alone on Pill Mountain, a place abundant in spiritual energy.

Just this one point was enough to raise suspicions! As long as he could find out the Mystical Abyss Holy Land's attitude towards him, Luochen's future actions would be more precise.

"I hope you won't let me down!"

Muttering to himself, Luochen once again picked up the book, "Golden Escape Technique."

The Five Elements Escape Technique was undoubtedly one of the most exquisite techniques among the Five Elements Spells, covering a range from the second to the fourth stage.

For so many years, Luochen had never mastered any of the escape techniques.

Although it was because his speed was extremely fast, making such techniques unnecessary, there was also an element of fate.

Now, as he studied the "Golden Escape Technique," borrowing from others to refine his own understanding, he vaguely gained some inspiration.

...

At the same time, Luochen sent an invitation scroll to the new Primordial Spirit True Monarch from Dongyang Sect through his disciples, which was delivered to the City Lord's Mansion.

"Elder Jiao, you can go back now!"

Elder Jiao from Dongyang Sect cupped his hands and respectfully withdrew.

The Ling Tian Lord held the invitation scroll in his hand, deep in thought.

Footsteps approached outside, but he didn't lift his head. "Zhang Shidi, you're here!"

A handsome and tall figure appeared before the Ling Tian Lord, casually picking up the invitation scroll.

"Heh, we've just issued an order to patrol Ling Tian and enforce a city-wide lockdown, yet Luochen privately invites fellow cultivators to gather. He's truly fearless!"

The Ling Tian Lord raised his head, looking at his increasingly powerful and awe-inspiring junior, Luochen.

"Luochen from the Pill Sect is a named talent within the sect, so he has every reason to be fearless."

Zhang Che raised his eyebrows and put the invitation scroll directly into his pocket.

"Perfect, I, Thunder Daoist, will attend the gathering on behalf of our sect!"
