Chapter 1971: Chapter 726: Revisiting an Old Place, the Blood God Returns
The trip to Molan Court was fortuitous for Luo Chen.
He came coincidentally and left hastily.
He wasn’t concerned about the upcoming war cessation conference between the righteous and demonic factions, as there weren’t many people or things in the North Sea Cultivation World that mattered to him; he was merely a passerby.
Thus, after achieving his pre-set goals, to prevent the possible troubles from his previous high-profile actions, he quietly left with his entourage.
The soul essence of Elder Minghuo was in his hands, and as for the other two bottles promised by Fu Chaosheng, as well as more, those would have to wait until after Zhongzhou.
However, it didn’t matter, as one bottle of soul essence at the human-grade count was enough for him to refine numerous Great Soul Pills.
Next, he would only need to gather the related supplementary materials to start the pill refinement process.
In this regard, Luo Chen didn’t need to toil all over for purchases.
The third condition he agreed upon with Fu Chaosheng was both a condition and a transaction.
It was to leverage the power of the Tianyuan Merchant Alliance under Fu Chaosheng to gather the necessary resources on his behalf.
The simple term "resources" covered many things.
This included supplementary materials for the Great Soul Pills and fourth-order Hongyuan Pill supplementary materials.
Just these two points, if Luo Chen collected them personally, the time consumed would be immeasurable.
Additionally, Luo Chen also entrusted Fu Chaosheng with gathering some secret techniques and spell tomes related to fire attributes. For body refinement ones, collect those available as well.
These resources were not collected for Luo Chen for free by Fu Chaosheng.
Luo Chen had to pay for them!
Fu Chaosheng also didn’t doubt Luo Chen’s financial strength, as Luo Chen’s lavish spending of a hundred million during the Guiyuan Palace Nascent Soul trade had already demonstrated his wealth!
Of course, all of the above was cultivation-related.
Luo Chen had another goal that was achieved imperceptibly during the negotiations.
That was the use of the Tianyuan Merchant Alliance’s routes to reach Zhongzhou!
The geographical area of the North Sea is vast; even with a map, crossing the vast ocean to reach Zhongzhou would consume considerable time, even without accounting for the dangerous journey.
The Tianyuan Merchant Alliance was different; they had their trade caravans, mature and safe routes, and even some short-range teleportation formations that could directly cross certain treacherous forbidden areas.
This could save at least tenfold the time!
Whether or not the progress of the righteous-demom war cessation conference in Molan Court mattered or how furious Nan Qi Old Ghost and others might be upon discovering Luo Chen’s absence, Luo Chen was currently quite at ease.
Hidden within Black King’s belly, he was completely engrossed in the beast skin booklet in his hands.
This was a set of fourth-order master cultivation technique of the fire attribute!
It was something Fu Chaosheng carried with him, not a Tianyuan Daoist Sect technique, but something he had purchased over the years.
After reaching the third condition, Fu Chaosheng gave Luo Chen this technique.
Luo Chen spent as much as five million Spirit Stones for it!
And this was already at a friendly price!
Luo Chen had no other choice, as fourth-order techniques were hard to find!
This set of "Flame Radiance Scripture" while rather ordinary, was very complete, ranging from the Qi Refinement Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage, almost seamlessly.
Its specific content was somewhat general; not as subdivided as today’s cultivation techniques, but with a little thought and modification, one could completely extract a Qi Refinement Chapter, Foundation Establishment Chapter, Golden Core Chapter, and so on.
In this way, relying solely on this set of techniques, it was already sufficient to establish a sect and nurture disciples and sect members from scratch.
Luo Chen studied it from start to finish, without missing a single detail.
The "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" given by Youquan, while touted as the number one fire attribute technique in the world, only had the Golden Core Chapter.
Even if Luo Chen cultivated it to an unprecedented Great Perfection Realm, it could still be used for cultivation during the Nascent Soul Stage, but to Luo Chen, it seemed a bit lacking.
Previously, he could endure "Longevity Technique" and "Wood Burning True Technique" as primary cultivation techniques because he had no choice.
But now, already a Nascent Soul True Master, to be so casual with the primary cultivation technique seemed out of place.
As such, he was always on the lookout for a better and more suitable fourth-order master cultivation technique.
If none was suitable, he would create his own to make a better one!
The accumulated Achievement Points on the Attribute Panel were not just there for show.
Luo Chen had entrusted Fu Chaosheng to collect fire attribute techniques for him, regardless of their order, completeness, or incompleteness; he would accept them all.
In this respect, Luo Chen was already prepared to absorb the strengths of a hundred schools and create his own cultivation technique.
Black King continued traveling, Luo Chen studied the technique, while stars and moons flowed, and time flew swiftly.
One day, Luo Chen closed the beast skin booklet.
His face displayed some lack of interest.
The "Flame Radiance Scripture" was complete, but a bit conventional.
In terms of cultivation speed enhancement, even at Great Perfection, it might be no different from the current "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra."
Especially, it lacked specific descriptions of the communion between heaven and man, and the divine fusion with the world, merely suggesting choosing the safest and quietest spirit vein land at this step, to let the Nascent Soul perceive the law’s true intent between heaven and earth.
Of course, it wasn’t entirely fruitless.
At least the part about opening all the acupoints and breathing in Heaven and Earth Qi, using the theory of the circulating heavenly stars, was worthy of reference.
Luo Chen’s acupoints had already been fully opened since the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Over the years, it had only been used as another place to store Spirit Qi outside of the Sea of Qi.
If it could be utilized and integrated into the master cultivation technique, it would likely somewhat enhance his cultivation speed.
"As for the two fourth-order fire attribute spells recorded here, if I can master them, they would greatly enhance my offensive capabilities!"
