“Yes, just fix it according to the original blueprint.”

“It’s quite simple, change the main beam, find a few stones outside the city for some repair, fill in the gaps.”

“Need Cyan Flame bricks? You guys wait, the Immortal Residence sells them,

they will send people over later.”

He hired three brothers from the Broken Mountain Gang, with a spirit stone

for each to help repair the house.

Luo Chen moved some of his belongings to Qin Liangchen’s house for

safekeeping.

For now, that will have to do.

In a blink of an eye, it was getting dark.

Luo Chen got cleaned up and accompanied Qin Liangchen to the Zhong Ding Family feast.

On the way, Qin Liangchen casually mentioned: “In fire techniques, there is a second-order technique called the Fierce Sun Technique. Once deployed, it explodes like a small sun, with a great force that can devastate everything in a twenty feet radius.”

A radius of twenty feet!

That’s roughly half the size of a football field!

“What are you talking about, Big Brother Qin!”

“I’m only at the middle stage of Qi Refinement, I can’t use a second-order

Fierce Sun Technique!”

Luo Chen frantically waived his hands.

But he had an idea in his mind.

The power of combining twenty fireballs clearly hasn’t reached the power of

the second-order Fierce Sun Technique.

But at that time, it was undoubtedly the rudiments of the Fierce Sun

Technique.

What if he combined another ten, twenty, or even thirty, fifty fireballs together?

But then, the consumption of spirit power would undoubtedly be substantial.

“I’ll consider it as a wildcard for now. I’ll need to practice properly when I have

time.”

Although Luo Chen was distressed to have lost nearly ten spirit stones today, he was still very happy.

Outside of his regular strategies, he has gained another trump card.

When they arrived at the third floor of the Zhong Ding Family’s place, not many people were there, only a few underlings.

Qin Liangchen went to chat with those people, no one bothered about Luo Chen, and he was happy to have some peace.

He found a quiet private room, Luo Chen was half alert to the outside world and half focused on the attribute panel.

Previously, he hadn’t finished browsing through it yet.

His progress in realm advancement was neither fast nor slow.

The Grandmaster Level Longevity Technique not only greatly increased his cultivation efficiency, but also opened up his twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians, allowing him to refine two Qi Nurturing Pills a day.

But because he advanced to the Fifth Level of Qi Refinement, the progress bar calculation underwent a new change.

At the Third Level of Qi Refinement, a Qi Nurturing Pill would add two points

to the progress.

At the Fourth Level of Qi Refinement, a Qi Nurturing Pill would add one point

to the progress.

Now at the Fifth Level of Qi Refinement, it would take two Qi Nurturing Pills to add one point to the progress.

So in half a month, he received two Qi Nurturing Pills each day, and the progress bar was only at 16 points.

Luo Chen had anticipated this.

After all, every time the realm is upgraded, it signifies a greater spirit power limit in the body.

This is a normal phenomenon.

Why does it take longer and longer to break through as a cultivator’s realm advances?

The main issue lies here.

Filling the total amount of spirit power of a realm will only increase, not just by multiple times.

There used to be hundreds of Late Stage Qi Refinement Cultivators in The

Great River District.

But those at Qi Refinement Finalization could be counted on one’s fingers.

Han Dang, the Heart Eating Tiger who died, was one of them, and Fu Xiuxiu, who failed at his Foundation Establishment attempt, was another.

Besides them, there were only a few others.

Even those Luo Chen was familiar with like Qin Liangchen, Murong Qinghan wouldn’t even be considered at the Qi Refinement Finalization stage.

Others such as Luo Wudi, Ke Yuelin, were even farther behind.

The only thing Luo Chen was worried about was whether the Qi Nurturing Pill would still be effective for him when he reached the Late Stage of Qi Refinement.

After all, there is something called drug resistance in elixirs.

“Let’s not worry about that for now.”

LUO Chen didn’t trouble himself over it and glanced at the technique column.

His gaze directly fell on the last bar[Achievement Points: 21]

He did not expect that after reaching full circle with the Fireball Technique, he would still gain one achievement point.

If calculated like this, then if he upgrades a skill to full circle, he can gam five achievement points.

They are at Proficiency Level, Mastery Level, Perfection Level, Grandmaster Level, and Full Circle.

His gains were huge for the past half a month.

He became a Grandmaster in Wind Control Technique, Attraction Technique, his usage of the Entanglement Technique, Vision Technique, and even the seldom used Cleaning Technique, all were progressively leveled up.

This added seven achievement points for him in total.

“What should I do with the 21 achievement points?”

“Entry-level Healing Technique? Forget it, I can reach entry-level with just a few more days of practice.”

“There are no other cultivations techniques on hand.

“Besides, compared to cultivation techniques, it’s more worth it to spend achievement points to reach entry-level in a pill formula. This way, I can avoid countless failures that take place before reaching entry-level.”

What does countless failures represent?

Countless Spirit Stones, ah!

The only pill formula Luo Chen has left is a broken Second Order formula for the Jade Dew Pill.

Obviously, it’s not the right time to refine the Jade Dew Pill now.

I don’t have the financial resources or the strength, and I’m afraid I wouldn’t dare to sell it even if I managed to refine it.

‘■SO, I must find a way to get my hands on a First Order pill formula. Moreover,

it should be one that has a broad market and less competition.”

“I wonder if the Broken Mountain Gang or Medicine Hall has one?”

As Luo Chen pondered, he looked up and realised it was already dark outside.

There were also noisy sounds in the small chamber outside.

He calmed his mind and quietly stepped out.

One glance, only one glance!

He held his breath.

One, two, three, four, five, six…

Thirteen Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators in total!

My God, since when did the Great River District have so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators!

Surprisingly, he recognised more than half of them.

The one chatting with Boss Liu of the Hundred Herbs Pavilion is Boss Wang from the Spirit Medicine Hall.

The head of the Spirit Source Study, Elder Chu, is surrounded by three Foundation Establishment Cultivators he didn’t recognise. They seemed to be exchanging insights on techniques.

Uncle Mi Shuhua of the Broken Mountain Gang was happily chatting with Wang Haichao of the Great Lake Gang and another man.

It appeared as if there was no sign of their life and death struggle just a moment ago.

The man with the gloomy face should be Zhou Chao, the head charge of the Lianyun Business Union here. It’s said that he holds a high position within the Union.

And there’s also that swindler Elder Chu from Wanbao Pavilion. He was whispering to a richly dressed man.

However, the man was evidently impatient. He kept glancing at a place where a group of female cultivators gathered but he did not dare offend the Wanbao Pavilion and could only keep chatting reluctantly.

Luo Chen glanced at the gathering spot of the female cultivators and coincidentally saw a group of acquaintances.

The glamorous Gu Caiyi, the enchanting Lady Xiangxiang and the gentle and beautiful Fu Xiuxiu.

However, no matter how beautiful they were, the centre of their attention was still the woman dressed in palace attire.

“She should be the brothel madam from the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, oops, the cultivator Gong Huiqin from the Hehuan Sect. Despite her stunning beauty, who knows how old she actually is. Can I consider her an advanced sugar mama?”

It seemed that she was extremely sensitive to men’s gazes.

The beautiful woman noticed Luo Chen almost instantly.

Luo Chen quickly lowered his head and went to stand by Qin Liangchen in the corner.

“Big Brother, why are we here with all these big shots?

Using whispered transmission, Luo Chen felt like he was being a grandson. Qin Liangchen chuckled, “Why? We’re here to play the role of grandsons!” Luo Chen was stunned. So, I really am a grandson, huh!

“High-status people always have a few followers around them,” Qin Liangchen patted his shoulder, “Don’t feel disheartened. Who knows, we might be able to become grandpas in the future.”

So it really is a matter of whether you are of noble or humble birth, huh! Luo Chen rolled his eyes. Speaking such words without concern that the Foundation Establishment Cultivators might hear them.

I’ve heard that the Art of Voice Transmission isn’t very secure.

By coincidence, there were three Foundation Establishment Cultivators standing in front of them, Mi Shuhua, Wang Haichao, and Zhou Chao. The latter suddenly turned around, his gaze piercing Qin Liangchen. ■■So you’re the young man who killed Bai Qi on the Dao Debate Platform!” Qin Liangchen immediately became nervous, his eyes pleadingly looking toward Mi Shuhua.

“Fellow Daoist Zhou, you…” Just as Mi Shuhua was about to speak, he was interrupted by Zhou Chao.

Zhou Chao smiled slightly, “It’s okay, I just wanted to get to know him. This young Qin here, with his father being a high disciple of the Luo Yun Sect, why would I do anything to him? Instead, Friend Mi, I’ve heard that you’re holding onto his Foundation Establishment Pill for him. Make sure you don’t secretly swallow it!”

Mi Shuhua’s face stiffened, then gradually darkened.

As the atmosphere on their side turned somewhat oppressive, the entrance echoed with a sharp sense of intent.

The next moment, seven Foundation Establishment Cultivators came up together.

Yu Ding Sword Cultivators.

The seven people did not hesitate as they stepped onto the floor, bowing and shouting towards the outside.

“Please welcome Elder Pang!”

Everyone was startled, then they all promptly bent over, and respectfully shouted, “Please welcome Elder Pang!”

Under the night sky, a strand of golden light, without any fanfare, tunneled into the third floor of the Zhong Ding Family home.

It was none other than the Golden Core Ascendant Master Pang Renxiong.

Luo Chen kept his head down, not daring to glance around.

Under the unfettered pressuring presence of the Golden Core, his teeth, bones, even his soul seemed to tremble.

“Is this the might of the Golden Core stage?”

Deep within him, there was a surging torrent of thoughts.

“A real man should aspire to this!”
