Chapter 284: Chapter 148: Golden Cicada’s Cease no More, Body Refinement’s Three Realms, First Meet with Nangong (12,000 chapters, asking for monthly subscription)_4

“So, that’s why Body Refiners have declined!”

Wang Yuan sighed, “The reason I pursue the Blood Evil Qi Pill so diligently is because it can not only aid my body refinement, but also allow me to practice both magic and body cultivation, giving me a slim chance of reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

“If I can achieve Foundation Establishment, my lifespan will double.”

“By then, I can use this time to break through the Third Realm of Body Refinement. Once I master turning the body into a Dan, I can enjoy a longer lifespan, and my power will not be inferior to Sword Cultivators of the same order, and may even surpass them!”

Is that the case?

Luo Chen felt a little disappointed.

For a moment there, he even felt an urge to switch to body refinement.

That’s because the progress of body refinement is simply too quick.

Even though Wang Yuan did have the foundation of a Grandmaster of Martial Arts, his years of cultivation totalled no more than a few decades.

So far, Luo Chen’s foundation wasn’t bad either.

“But it’s not like one can’t defeat a Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the same level once they reach the Second Realm of Body Refinement.

Wang Yuan continued nostalgically, “The body refinement techniques I obtained were incomplete. I integrated them with ordinary martial arts to develop a complete method that fits me.”

“According to the incomplete Body Refinement Methods, ancient body refiners had specialized offensive techniques.”

“Their power was by no means inferior to Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.”

“If I had just a few such skills, I wouldn’t have to hide in The Great River

District.”

After his yearning came disappointment.

“The methods I currently use are a blend of martial arts, blood magic, and Qi Refinement that I’ve adapted to my needs. They’re quite powerful, but I haven’t sparred with a Foundation Establishment Cultivator yet, so I can’t gauge my actual combat ability.”

Luo Chen took over the conversation.

“But at least, within the Qi Refinement Stage, you are invincible, right?”

“Ha ha!”

Wang Yuan suddenly laughed, “Even without breaking through the Second

Realm, when have I ever feared an opponent in the Qi Refinement Stage?

Hearing this, Luo Chen couldn’t help but laugh as well.

Yes!

During the war between the two gangs, Wang Yuan dared to fight across levels.

On the Dao Debate Platform, he crushed the Blood Cultivator.

On Qingjiang Street, he single-handedly fought three great masters.

Luo Chen felt he had just made a joke.

Suddenly, Wang Yuan got an inspiration and pressed his thumb on his kidney

area.

“Luo Chen, smell it again.”

As Luo Chen did so, he was taken aback.

“The scent of blood…it’s gone?”

Wang Yuan nodded knowingly, “As I thought, your insights can only serve as a reference. This Concealing Breath Mantra inherently involves Qi and blood.” “I had learned similar martial arts in the mortal world, and with some slight adjustments, it’s already showing impressive results.1

Luo Chen swallowed hard.

Although he had also found it easy to get started, it took him a month or two to reach this slight achievement in concealing Qi and blood.

By applying his previous knowledge, Wang Yuan had reached this level in just an hour.

Martial arts and body refinement indeed have their merits!

Since Wang Yuan could initially control his Qi and blood, didn’t that mean he could move around freely?

Luo Chen’s eyes lit up, “Brother Wang, there’s still a Hall Master position vacant in my Luo Tian Creed!”

A full month had passed since the destruction of the Broken Mountain Gang.

The chaos in The Great River District gradually subsided.

The Great Lake Gang and Lianyun Business Union both firmly established themselves in the mountains.

However, the previously promising Xuan Yihui, due to fighting over the spoils of the Broken Mountain Gang, ended up with many internal conflicts.

Even now, after compromise and concession, the situation has only reached a point where everyone can just about accept it.

Nevertheless, the existence of Xuan Yihui, an alliance of five families, was in name only.

in the end, Xuan Yihui was a loose coalition formed temporarily to cope with the Broken Mountain Gang and help the three newly relocated families settle down.

Now that the Broken Mountain Gang is gone.

The five families no longer band together.

The Great Lake Gang had to take care of their water transportation business, and Lianyun Business Union, uninterested in territory, cared only about resource collection.

As a result, the rogue cultivators of The Great River District suddenly found that the pressure from the gangs above them eased quite a bit!

Some smaller factions began to rise.

in this upheaval, the Luo Tian Creed, which had inherited the two pill halls of the Broken Mountain Gang, also stopped recruiting new members.

Outsiders assumed they had reached their maximum size.

Only internal members knew that their leader, Dan Chenzi, had started a great career in pill refinement.

The Pill Hall’s location remained unchanged, it was still nestled in the deepest recesses of Crescent Valley.

However, there had been a major change in the alchemy equipment being used. There were now two additional Pill Rooms to the original three.

These five Pill Rooms – one large, two medium, and two small – varied in size. The Large Pill Room held the Four Symbols Tripod, the medium-sized ones housed the Xuanyun Tripod and Divine Wood Tripod, and the two small ones each had a Lower Grade Purple Cloud Copper Furnace.

Even though Luo Chen’s Spirit Power was increasing, he couldn’t handle five Pill Rooms simultaneously.

As a result, he could only use the three largest Pill Rooms.

The other two, smaller ones, were assigned to Mi Li and Tang Quan.

By now, Mi Li could easily refine the Fasting Pill.

After all, this was a pill formula that didn’t rank, and many rogue cultivators within The Great River District were capable of refining Fasting Pills.

Luo Chen assigned the task of refining the Fasting Pill to her, both to meet internal needs and to diversify the products of the Luo Tian Creed’s shops. The only pity was that, after all this time, Tang Quan had yet to successfully refine an Allure Pill even once.

His talent for pill refinement was quite poor.

Whenever Zeng Wen came to take a look, he would be severely disappointed and end up beating Tang Quan out of frustration..
