Chapter 2163: Chapter 794: Jiuling Yuanjun, Please Meet the Alchemy Sect! (2)
...
"It’s the Shen Fu Sect!"
Old Ghost Mo Tian concealed himself in the void, gazing at the fleet stationed by the Black Water River, all alert and ready. He recognized their origin at first sight.
He was puzzled though, why had Elder Fu brought so many Golden Core Cultivators to Luotian Sect?
"Could it be..."
Upon considering a possibility, Old Ghost Mo Tian’s expression involuntarily changed.
He ground his teeth, refraining from rash actions, and instead waited silently.
After about half a day’s effort, he saw that old fellow Elder Fu flying out from Daqing Mountain, looking solemn.
But amidst his serious demeanor, his eyes were filled with joy!
Just at that moment, Elder Fu looked up in his direction.
"This old fellow is so sharp, he actually saw through my concealment magic!"
Old Ghost Mo Tian’s expression darkened, not because Elder Fu discovered him, but because of the latter’s actions.
Luo Chen, after spending half a year, actually refined the elixirs that Shen Fu Sect needed!
And very likely they were Fourth-Order Breaking Realm pills that help in Nascent Soul Formation!
Otherwise, Elder Fu wouldn’t make such a grand spectacle, bringing almost all the sect’s elites to Luotian Sect.
He was afraid the elixirs might leak on the way back!
Fifteen Golden Core Cultivators, if properly coordinated and supplemented with other methods, would be equal to any Initial Stage Nascent Soul Conversion Cultivator.
Especially as these people came from the same school.
In his sight, Shen Fu Sect cultivators showed no hesitation; after Elder Fu returned, they left rapidly without delay.
Old Ghost Mo Tian hesitated for a while, but eventually chose not to follow.
Without the aid of True Devices Mount Sky Cliff, simply Elder Fu alone was beyond his ability to deal with, not to mention fifteen Golden Cores.
He stood in place, unable to resist looking toward Daqing Mountain.
"Rumor has it that Luo Chen boasts of having the skills of an Alchemy Concoction Grandmaster; now it seems he wasn’t bluffing."
"So in the future, who knows how many fellow Daoists will come to him for Pill Refinement, his grudge against me for destroying my True Devices..."
Thinking about the future, Old Ghost Mo Tian’s expression became increasingly grim.
Zheng!
Suddenly, a sword’s cry exploded in the void.
From Daqing Mountain, a crimson sword Qi soared into the sky!
The sharp intent went straight for the place where Old Ghost Mo Tian had concealed himself.
He was startled and hastily retreated, fleeing quickly.
"Did Elder Fu inform him, or did that brat Luo Chen discover me on his own?"
...
Within Daqing Mountain, Luo Chen pressed his left hand against his right forearm, and the scarlet sword shadow gradually subsided.
The three strands of Chi Xiao Sword Qi had not yet reached the point where quantity caused a qualitative change.
The reason a single sword chased away Old Ghost Mo Tian was due to the merit of the Yuan Tu Sword itself.
Rubbing the right forearm where Yuan Tu rested, Luo Chen was lost in thought.
"Yuan Tu Sword is inherently peerlessly sharp; it is one of the finest swords in the world, second only to true Path of Sword Spiritual Treasures."
"With this sword as the carrier, cultivating Chi Xiao Sword Qi, its power may be far greater than that recorded in the Sword Scripture."
"Earlier, I hadn’t noticed this point."
With this thought passing, Luo Chen left the cave mansion, heading to the hall where the Black Ape Puppet resided.
Upon arriving, the Black Ape Puppet, which was guiding Qu Jiu in drawing talismans using Demon Beast Talisman Skin, suddenly froze.
"Ancestor?"
Qu Jiu was taken aback.
Then he watched as a dim light flew from atop the Black Ape’s head, entering the Heavenly Spirit Cover of the white-robed Daoist who had just entered.
Seeing that youthful yet incomparably authoritative face, Qu Jiu instantly understood everything.
He bowed respectfully: "Qu Jiu pays respect to Ancestor!"
Luo Chen waved his hand, "No need for ceremony."
Then, he moved to a desk.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly acted.
Taking up a brush, he dipped it in ink!
The swift drawing of talismanic patterns on a sheet of dark-red talisman paper followed, Qi Power poured out from his brush tip, embedding strand by strand into the talisman paper.
Qu Jiu watched this scene without daring to breathe.
The Black Ape Puppet lacked Qi Power, and the Ascendant Grade Spirit Stones embedded in it were mostly for daily activities.
Thus, during this period, they had solely researched theory without any practical operations.
Most of the time was spent instructing Qu Jiu in talisman making, while casually verifying certain ideas.
Now that his true self was here, there was no need to say much.
After just the time of one incense stick, Luo Chen abruptly stopped.
He reached out a hand and the fully formed talisman rose leisurely from the desk.
"Xiao Ji, evaluate this Fierce Sun Talisman, what tier do you think it is?"
Qu Jiu swallowed and carefully observed.
In these months, his foundational understanding of Talisman Dao had been firmly solidified by Luo Chen.
Just like when he taught Qu Lingjun pill refinement in the past, Luo Chen’s teaching approach often started with imparting a broad range of knowledge, then progressively moved to hands-on practices.
Qu Jiu’s talisman making skills might still be relatively average, but in terms of talisman knowledge, he now had a solid grasp.
He studiously observed for a while, eventually cautiously saying: "From what I can see, Ancestor, your Fierce Sun Talisman is deeply powerful, its patterns seem naturally formed, the Qi Power within nearly reaching the limits of this talisman paper. Judging by tier, it should be Second Order Upper Grade. In terms of its power, it equals a full-force attack of a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!"
Upon hearing this answer, Luo Chen couldn’t help but smile.
"Your assessment is very accurate, well done!"
On the Attribute Panel, the proficiency of the Fierce Sun Talisman barely reached the Grandmaster Level.
The reason it wasn’t Finalization was that the talisman paper had limited him earlier.
"Xiao Ji, go find me a few more Second Order fire attribute talisman papers, while I have time, I’ll draw a few more Fierce Sun Talismans."
"Yes!"
Qu Jiu hurried off to select suitable talisman papers.
Luo Chen stood with hands clasped behind his back by the desk, his face full of smiles.
The news that he helped Shen Fu Sect by refining Nascent Soul Formation Pills would likely spread throughout Fenghua District, and even the Five Domains of Lingtian, in no time!
