“Hmm?”
“Friend Murong, is there something else you would like to discuss? Wang Yanchang stopped in his tracks and looked puzzledly at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen gave a slight smile, “I wouldn’t dare instruct, but I’d like to know…” He initially wanted to inquire about the story behind the Zhenlong Black Market, but it felt rather sudden.
So the words on the tip of his tongue naturally changed to another question.
“Recently, the situation seems calm, but there are undercurrents stirring, aren’t there?”
Wang Yanchang twitched the corner of his mouth, only observing, waiting quietly for Luo Chen to reveal his true intentions.
Luo Chen didn’t delay, “Therefore, just to be safe, I hope that next month, all resources on our list can be doubled in supply.
“Is your side capable of doing that?”
Double the medicinal ingredients?
Wang Yanchang frowned slightly, then shook his head: “I cannot make this decision. I will have to consult with Lord Tian Xingzi before I can give you an answer.”
“No problem, I can wait.”
“Hmm.”
Wang Yanchang nodded and walked directly into the hall.
Outside the black market, Luo Chen, almost imperceptibly, shook his head.
His relationship with Tian Xingzi was quite good and the latter frequently showed good intentions towards him.
But this was not a reason for him to overstep his boundaries.
Probing the intentions of the other party might be the right thing to do, but it was only to satisfy his own curiosity.
Even if he did find out, what use would it be?
Perhaps it might even anger the other party and disrupt the good cooperative relationship between the two parties.
Compared to this, the phrase “time waits for no one” hints at the possibility of
a significant upheaval in the near future.
Under these circumstances, what he should do is amass resources!
These raw materials are the “resources” he needs most.
Without these things, even his superb Pill Refinement Technique would be of
no use.
Soon, Wang Yanchang returned.
He brought the answer Luo Chen wanted.
Doubling the material supply is feasible!
In that case, Luo Chen had no further reason to disturb him.
After bidding him farewell, he vanished into the night.
With his current strength at the Ninth Level Qi Refinement, coupled with the Spirit Gathering Technique Finalization, and being in the complex night environment of the Outer City area,
As long as he was careful, even a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator might not be able to find him.
Of course, methods of tracking such as firepower coverage or magic item scanning were exceptions!
He moved stealthily on his way.
When he reached a distance of a hundred li from the Luo Tian Creed, Luo Chen did not directly enter.
After experiencing Mi Shuhua secretly applying various means against him, he had become much more cautious.
Each time he went in and out, he would carefully check if there were any abnormalities.
In his view, any cultivator’s technique, as long as there was not a great difference in their realm, could not truly be silent and traceless.
The reason Mi Shuhua was able to deceive him was mainly because his realm was only at the Middle Stage of Qi Refinement at the time.
By the time it was the Late Stage Qi Refinement, those means had unknowingly coexisted with him for quite some time.
Even if in rare luck, he discovered the Spirit Power Imprint, he still didn’t notice the Spirit Consciousness Imprint.
Even after Mi Shuhua died, the unclaimed Spirit Consciousness Imprint had long coexisted with him.
If it weren’t for the disciple of the true Jade Cauldron Luo Tianhong discovering it and the Golden Core Ascendant Master Pang Renxiong personally taking action, who knows how long that Soul Seed might have lain hidden.
If it had abruptly ruined everything when he was about to achieve Foundation Establishment, that would have been quite a problem.
Now, Luo Chen’s realm was high and his divine soul far surpassed his peers, even vaguely comparable to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
In addition to the Spirit Vision Technique Finalization, he carefully checked and found almost no issues.
Even so, he still felt uncertain.
“Hmph!”
He let out a low shout and cast the Cleaning Technique three times in succession on himself.
To an outsider, it would only appear as if Luo Chen were brushing his hand against himself three times.
After three times, he checked again, and this time he was finally at ease.
Only then did he leisurely step forward, heading towards the Luo Tian Creed’s dwelling.
“I’ve been a Cleaning Technique Grandmaster for some time and am only two hundred proficiency points away from Finalization.”
“I need to find some time to max it out, there might be unexpected effects.
Luo Chen placed great expectation on each Technique reaching Finalization. Although the Finalizations of the Carefree Wandering and Attraction Technique have been disappointing,
the Fireball Technique, Wind Riding Technique, Concealing Breath Mantra, and even Spirit Vision Technique brought him great surprises when they reached Finalization.
Compared to these, the Cleaning Technique, a widely circulated life-related Technique, has demonstrated great potential even at Grandmaster level.
It can clean various auras besides the original impurities, such as Pill Qi, Elixir Qi, Spirit Qi, and even Demon Qi.
He was looking forward to the changes that would occur when the Cleaning Technique reached its Finalization.
If it could grant a divine power that purifies the cosmos and sweeps it clean, it would be too wonderful for words.
Well, here’s the entrance to his home.
Dreaming time is over!
Luo Chen calmly began his pre-cultivation preparations.
He brewed the Nourishing Origin Liquid, replaced the Spirit Stones in the Small Qi Gathering Array, and inserted a whole stick of Calming Incense into the incense burner…
After all the preparations were complete, Luo Chen held a Dusting Pill in his mouth and began his cultivation for the day.
When dawn came, Luo Chen leisurely ended yesterday’s cultivation.
“After taking the Tongyou Pill and the subsequent growth of my divine soul, who would have thought it would bring these benefits?”
Luo Chen only felt that after a night of cultivation, he was still full of spirit. This would have been unimaginable in the past.
The reason why cultivators at lower realms cultivate slowly without taking Elixirs,
is because their divine souls are not strong enough to handle many rotations of the cultivation technique each day.
Once in the morning and once in the evening is already pushing their limits. There were those in the Immortal Cultivation World who tried to solve this problem.
The final solution they proposed was to make use of external substances.
Such as Calming Incense!
However, this still does not fundamentally solve the problem.
