Chapter 823 Cruel Demonic Path, the Old Man Passes Away

This old man in the shop looks ordinary, but in fact, he is in a good realm, at the Jindan realm.

If he were to be placed outside, low-level cultivators would have to respectfully call him "Master".

Therefore, his knowledge is definitely not bad!

After getting the "Soul-absorbing and Essence-taking Technique" from the gray-robed man, he only flipped through it for a moment and instantly realized the extraordinaryness of this technique!

It clearly records a secret technique that can extract the essence from the soul of a living person.

Soul, something unique to spiritual beings.

It seems invisible and intangible, but it actually exists.

And it has many uses, and it is the most important in the process of cultivation, no one else!

The path of cultivating immortals is to refine qi on the surface, but in fact it is to refine the spirit.

From the soul, to the derived spiritual consciousness, and then to the transformation into spiritual consciousness after the Jindan stage to interfere with the outside world, this is a complete transformation route.

If you can achieve the Nascent Soul realm, you can let the Nascent Soul temporarily serve as the second container of the soul.

It is said that the reason why the Transformation of the Spirit realm is called "Transformation of the Spirit" is that the Nascent Soul can be transformed into the Primordial Spirit.

At that level, the soul and the Nascent Soul are completely integrated. Even if the physical body is destroyed, the cultivator can rely on the soul to survive alone, and no longer be afraid of the assimilation of heaven and earth, natural disasters and earth disasters.

Why is it said that only the state of transformation of the spirit can ascend?

It is precisely because of the existence of the soul that during the process of pulling the ascension, the powerful soul can lock and pull the spiritual light and ascend to the fairyland.

I have gone too far.

Back to the "Soul-absorbing and Essence-stealing Technique"!

This secret technique can extract the soul essence of living beings. Not only high-level beings with successful souls, but even some low-level creatures can use this technique to extract their weak and hard-to-find soul essence.

It can be said to be extremely vicious and evil!

The old man asked the gray-robed monk while eagerly flipping through the back.

This tattered little book looks very old. I don't know how many years ago it was.

But the secret technique recorded on it is quite complete, and even the tool "Soul-calling Banner" required to extract the soul essence has detailed production methods.

The old man quickly realized the importance of this technique.

According to the above description, soul essence is quite strange. It can be used to cultivate and increase the foundation of the soul, and it can also be used to cultivate some insidious soul secrets.

As long as it can be produced, there will be no shortage of buyers!

Maybe it can become the treasure of his store!

As for the biggest problem in refining soul essence, it is not the difficulty of practicing secret techniques and the production of soul-calling flags, but the acquisition of raw materials.

But this problem is not a problem at all at the moment.

What time is it now?

The battle between humans and monsters, the battle between races!

The most violent and direct collision between the cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness Overlord and the monsters that have accumulated for three thousand years.

Every day, I don’t know how many lives are annihilated and how many souls disappear.

Those are the best raw materials!

Facing the old man’s urgent question, the gray-robed monk stretched out his hand with a vigilant look.

"Just tell me whether you will exchange it or not? If not, return it to me!"

The old man immediately grasped the tattered animal skin book, and smiled, "Why are you so nervous? I am just asking a few more questions. What if you got this secret technique from some famous sect? If I get it, I will have endless troubles."

The gray-robed monk suddenly realized, and then explained, "Don't worry about this. I got this book from an ancient monk's cave. I guarantee there will be no hand-wringing."

Ancient monk's cave?

The old man carefully studied the animal skin paper and the handwriting on it, and nodded.

It looks like it is indeed very old.

As far as the value of this technique is concerned, let alone exchanging it for a blue blood grass worth three thousand spirit stones, even if it is ten or a hundred times the premium, it is completely worth it!

This foundation-building junior really doesn't know the value of things!

In this case...

"Exchange!"

...

The gray-robed man who got the blood-cold grass was delighted. As soon as he went out, the shop behind him slammed the door and even the small window at the door.

As if afraid that he would regret it.

However, the gray-robed man didn't care at all, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

He put the blood-cold grass that he had previously valued into his storage bag, turned around and went to the next dark street.

There are many such remote trading markets in Lingtian Pass.

Most of the transactions involved are resources that are not allowed to see the light.

There are medicinal herbs picked by bold people in the demon clan area, minerals secretly excavated, and even some stolen goods obtained by killing and robbing during chaos.

In the past, they were traded underground, and only recently because of the actions of the Yuanying elder of Dongyang Sect, they slightly showed their heads.

According to the information he had inquired along the way, the gray-robed monk kept going in and out of those remote shops in Lingtian Pass.

For most of the transactions, he chose to barter.

Among them, the tattered animal skin booklet was often sold.

In just one or two days, he had distributed dozens of copies of "Soul Extraction Technique"!

And all this has not been discovered in a short time.

As for what would happen if it was discovered?

In the cave of Danzong in Xicheng, a calm gray-robed man opened the formation to block anyone's detection.

Then, his bones crackled all over his body, and his figure quickly rose.

His originally sallow skin color also became white.

His facial features twisted, and finally formed Luo Chen's young and handsome face.

After scanning the remaining animal skin booklets in the storage ring, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to spread the secret technique of refining soul essence.

"That's enough."

"If you really want this secret technique to work, you need a lot of people to make it work."

"They will help me spread it."

This is a foreshadowing for Luo Chen to continue practicing the "Soul Splitting Technique" in the future.

Cutting the split soul will affect the strength of his current main soul and make him fall into a weak period.

But there is another disadvantage, which is why Luo Chen suppressed the increase in the number of split souls.

That is the Great Soul Pill!

He does not have a complete "Soul Splitting Technique" method, and cannot quickly improve the level of split souls. He must rely on the Great Soul Pill as an aid.

And to refine the Great Soul Pill, precious soul essence must be used.

The amount of soul essence he has now is more than enough to support the cultivation of the main soul and two split souls.

But if the number of split souls increases, three, four, five...

By then, I am afraid that he will have a lot of split souls, but the overall quality cannot be improved, which will become a burden for him.

This can actually be seen from Han Zhan.

Han Zhan started learning the Soul Splitting Technique when he was in the Foundation Establishment stage. After a hundred years in the Nascent Soul stage, he had nine souls.

Seemingly very strong, but in fact "vulnerable".

As Luo Chen's realm rose, he had a clearer understanding of Han Zhan's nine souls. Each of them seemed to be at the early stage of the Nascent Soul, but they fell one after another under his Dragon Slaying Technique without any resistance.

Obviously, the strength of those souls was not really the soul of the Nascent Soul.

Not to mention the two souls that Luo Chen was cultivating carefully now.

In view of this, Luo Chen began to prepare for a rainy day.

Spread the method of making the soul essence of the Yuanmo Sect obtained from Fu Chaosheng, and use the war environment to let those desperate people make soul essence for him.

Once more soul essence is produced, someone will definitely sell it.

Perhaps many high-level cultivators will be interested in soul essence, but they don't have the right way to use it.

At that time, Luo Chen can start to harvest it openly.

As for why Luo Chen disguised himself to do this, instead of handing it over to the monks of Luo Tianzong?

He even went to great lengths to imitate the old deeds of Bai Zaoshan Lord and use the method of refining instruments to make the animal skin book old?

The reason is simple. After all, "Soul Absorption and Essence Extraction Technique" is a secret technique of the magic way!     Using the souls of living people as materials is harmful to the world and extremely vicious.

Even the Yuan Mozong handed it down to the vassal forces instead of doing it personally, which shows its harmfulness.

Compared with the Yuan Mozong, Luo Tianzong is extremely fragile.

Let the subordinates do this, once discovered, there will be endless disasters.

Even the reputation that Luo Chen has worked so hard to cultivate is easily stained with black spots.

"It is a bit mean, but for the sake of longevity, it is not worth mentioning."

Luo Chen smiled slightly and put the matter aside for the time being.

His attention turned to the refining of the Heart Mirror.

The attribute panel unfolded.

With a thought, he spent ten achievement points and got started directly!

In a vague feeling, there are some new experiences.

"I should take advantage of the recent free time to refine this thing. The required materials..."

Luo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and he had some calculations in his mind.

...

Sometimes, when you are sleepy, you can find a pillow.

And it just so happens that many people are thinking of handing him a pillow!

This day.

Fairy Jueqing had just sent off a Jindan cultivator and came back with a visiting card in her hand.

There was helplessness in her eyes.

It was another visiting card sent by a Yuanying cultivator.

In five years, there were many such cards, but many of them were not easy for her to offend.

Especially this one today.

"Master Lu of Dongyang Sect said that he had an old relationship with him and came to invite him specially. But he is in seclusion, and I can't agree on his behalf."

Just as Fairy Jueqing was depressed, the clouds covering the mountain suddenly dissipated.

She was stunned for a moment, and instantly realized something, and immediately set up the magic cloud and flew up.

...

Inside the cave, Luo Chen flipped through the visiting cards.

[Lord Luo Tian Tai Shang Dan Zong: I have often heard of your great name. You are good at refining medicine and are proficient in everything... If you are free, please come and teach me. Yao Ping, the head of Hongdan Peak in Qidong Mountain, pays homage."

Qidong Mountain is a Yuanying upper sect in the early thirty-six regions of the Eastern Wilderness.

The time of its establishment is roughly the same as that of Dongyang Sect, and it also participated in the ancient human-demon war.

But now, it has long been in decline, and there is no longer the grand occasion of the heads of the seven peaks, all of whom are Yuanying.

On the contrary, Yao Ping, the head of Hongdan Peak, has some attainments in alchemy and is respected as Mr. Yao.

It seems that he wants to ask Luo Chen for advice on alchemy, but the tone of the letter is not very good.

He praised Luo Chen to the utmost, and secretly wanted to compete with him.

Luo Chen only took a look and let it go.

With his current status and reputation, and was too lazy to compete with others in alchemy.

Winning was what he deserved, and losing would only help the reputation of the declining Qidong Mountain.

He opened another visiting card.

This one was very familiar, a certain force wanted to ask Luo Chen to refine a kind of cultivation elixir that had been lost in the sect.

Luo Chen would usually refuse such a request.

Cultivation elixirs often cannot be refined in one or two furnaces.

It requires a large and stable supply, which takes up too much of his time.

Even if this force is willing to pay a large amount of spirit stones and the Chixiao Qi he needs.

But Luo Chen still looked at the content of the visiting card carefully, stroking his chin, revealing a thoughtful look.

Only Yuanying Zhenren can collect this kind of resource, so it is extremely precious, but it doesn’t seem to be rare?

Most Yuanying Zhenren can come up with one or two.

Later, he even discovered that Jiuling Yuanjun’s great skill, that is, the light river, is actually the product of the condensation of nine kinds of Xiaoqi and magic power.

Therefore, that skill is so domineering that even the physical body of Leiyu Shenpeng was wiped out.

The Jiuling Sect where Jiuling Yuanjun is located is not very old. With their foundation, they can accumulate a lot of Xiaoqi for Jiuling Yuanjun to cultivate this skill, and even have the spare energy to trade some Xiaoqi to Luo Chen.

What if it is the more ancient Qidong Mountain, Dongyang Sect, or the Holy Land of Huashen?

Was the scope of my previous friendships a bit limited?

Luo Chen pondered and asked casually: "Wasn't Xu Xiaoliu responsible for delivering the invitations in the past, and you were responsible for receiving the visitors? Why did you come to deliver the invitations in person today?"

Although Fairy Jueqing has joined Luotian Sect and has accepted the fact that her and Luo Chen's status has been reversed, she still subconsciously avoids meeting him most of the time.

Awkward!

It's unusual to come to deliver the invitations in person today.

Unexpectedly, Fairy Jueqing heard this and a bit of complexity appeared on her cold face.

The woman whispered: "He's gone."

Luo Chen was startled, and his hands froze for a moment.

"When?"

"In the third year of your retreat. He died of old age, his wife and daughter saw him off, and his body was buried in Baili Qingchuan. Sect Master Li, in the name of an elder, made an exception and offered his spirit tablet to the Luotian Sect's ancestral hall."

Luo Chen opened his mouth and finally just sighed slightly.

Five years, for him at this level, can only be regarded as a trivial retreat.

Moreover, the purpose was not cultivation, but to break through the bottleneck of the third and fourth levels of the Nascent Soul.

However, just like that, a person close to him died quietly.

If he wants to break through a great realm in the future, it will take decades or even hundreds of years. When he comes out of retreat again, how many familiar faces will be around to celebrate for him?

Shaking his head, Luo Chen quietly picked up the next visiting card.

And this one was exactly the pillow he needed.

"Dongyang Sect, Master Lu!"

Fairy Jueqing explained on the side: "This person said that he has a history with you, so even if his card is just to invite you to a party, I picked it out."

Luo Chen hummed and admitted it.

Master Lu did have a history with him, although it was only a one-time encounter.

When he borrowed the teleportation array from Dongyang Domain to Baihe Domain, Gu Zuokai, the middleman, found Master Lu from Dongyang Sect.

At that time, Luo Chen also specially gave the other party a bottle of good quality fourth-level Hongyuan Pill.

I still remember that Master Lu was quite moved at the time and repeatedly asked Luo Chen if he still wanted to continue selling this pill.

"Dongyang Sect has a deep relationship with Mingyuan Sect, and can even be regarded as a vassal force directly under Mingyuan Sect."

"Therefore, as soon as Elder Lu arrived at Lingtian Pass, he received strong support from the Lord of Lingtian City, and there was no obstacle in doing various things."

"He promoted the formation of Lingtian Trade Fair, formulated relevant rules, and sent people to maintain order. He has a very good reputation among low-level cultivators. Not only that, he also held exchanges between Jindan level and Yuanying Zhenren from time to time in the name of Dongyang Sect."

"He really wants to invite you to participate in it in person!"

As Fairy Jueqing told the story, Luo Chen knew the whole picture of the matter.

And that kind of exchange gathering is an excellent environment for high-level cultivators to exchange resources.

Luo Chen almost didn't hesitate and asked immediately:

"When is the next gathering?"

"Three days later!"

"Okay! Please reply on my behalf, and Luo will attend the meeting on time."
