"unnecessary."

 “Is it really unnecessary?”

 In the stone room, one person is sitting cross-legged on the bed, and the other is standing in front of the bed with his hands behind his hands.

 Ahem…

Facing Wang Yuan's sighing eyes, Luo Chen couldn't help but cough twice.

He said softly: "You once said: A real man can bend and stretch without losing his true qualities as a hero. But in the face of real choices, you must stick to your heart, otherwise your will will be broken, and your bent waist will never straighten up for the rest of your life."

"I know that the battle yesterday was not a necessary choice."

“But I’m afraid that when the real choice comes, I will be used to calculating and weighing the pros and cons, and in the end I will miss the opportunity and lose my heart.”

Hearing these low words, Wang Yuan was surprised.

 It seems that Luo Chen has something to say?

 What exactly did he experience during his absence?

 Luo Chen didn’t ask him to think too much, he just forced a smile.

“Besides, when the talisman strikes, someone has to be there to catch it.”

“I can come next.” Wang Yuan said decisively.

"Then will you be injured? I'm afraid that not only will you be injured, but you will also expose your **** methods for no reason and attract the attention of Foundation Establishment!"

Wang Yuan hesitated.

Luo Chen chuckled and shook his head: "That's alright, you'll get hurt if you pick it up, and I'll get hurt if I pick it up, there's no difference!"

“Besides, I didn’t rush into it with passion.”

indeed!

Both Luo Chen and Wang Yuan are very clear about the information that the Fu family has a talisman treasure.

Since it can be listed as a foundation-building family, it must have foundation-building means.

Talisman seals nearly 30% of the magic weapon's power. It can be called a super killer weapon below the foundation level.

Since the decision to target the Fu family, Luo Chen and Wang Yuan have made various plans to deal with Fu Bao.

 When the phantom of the giant hammer suddenly emerged, Luo Chen knew that his plan was not in vain.

“In the final analysis, the person who inspired the talisman is just a ninth-level Qi refining monk.”

“Especially since Duan Feng and other casual cultivators have consumed most of his spiritual energy. After a series of fierce battles, Fu Bao’s so-called magic weapon power of nearly 30% will be greatly reduced.”

“But I am different. I already have the best magic weapon in my hand, and the Fierce Sun Technique is ready to go.”

 “What do I have to fear!”

Wang Yuan nodded. Based on his combat experience, he agreed with these words.

  Fu Bao, although it is a talisman seal script, actually does not look like a talisman seal script.

General talisman seals, how much spiritual power is sealed, then how much power will be unleashed by the spells inside after it is stimulated.

 This is fixed.

 No matter whether the monk's current state is at its peak or at its trough.

As long as it is activated, the power of the talisman and seal can be fully unleashed.

 But the talisman is different!

 What is sealed inside is the power of the magic weapon.

So the question is, how should the power of a magic weapon be calculated?

 What is the strongest power?

　It depends on the person!

The ancestor of the Fu family who made the talisman, if he was a monk in the foundation-building stage, would not be able to seal much of the power of the talisman.

 If it is the Golden Elixir stage, then it has to be calculated separately.

 Luo Chen learned from Sima Xian, early Sikong Shojia, and others that there was no Jindan ancestor in the Fu family.

 Their ancestors were not wealthy.

Even before the ancestor of the Foundation Establishment passed away, in order to support the new Fu Family Foundation Establishment, he consumed all the Foundation Establishment Pills in Tianlan Immortal City.

This is how the Fu family decided to move to Dahefang.

From this point of view, the Fu family’s inherited talisman is, at best, the power of the talisman that the monks in the foundation-building stage could barely seal.

Moreover, after activating the talisman, it is a shadow of the talisman.

 Hence, the monk himself has to control it.

If Fu Zhang was in peak condition, he would be enough to threaten the foundation-building monks.

 It’s a pity that he was no longer at his peak by that time.

In addition, Luo Chen is ready to attack and has mastered second-level spells such as "Fire Sun Technique".

Only then did Wang Yuan dare to let Luo Chen do what he did.

 In the end, at the expense of Fu Zhang being wiped out in ashes and Luo Chen being slightly injured, success was declared.

Wang Yuan said with emotion: "After this battle, you have a place among the monks in Dahefang's Qi Refining Period."

 “Haha, didn’t I already have it?”

“Well, I’m talking about combat power, not the ability to earn spiritual stones.”

Luo Chen waved his hand, "Okay, that's the end of the matter. In the past two days, I will use the excuse of recovering from my injuries to avoid some people. You can help me take care of Luo Tianhui, and by the way, together with Murong Qinglian, Let’s take a look at the gains and losses from this battle.”

"You know my character. For the families of some monks who died in the war...if there are any, please give them some compensation!"

"The refined chalcedony pill can also be sold. Leave this matter to Gu Caiyi and Zeng Wen."

The verbose instructions came from Luo Chen's mouth.

 Very detailed and comprehensive, almost arranging Luo Tianhui's affairs in an orderly manner.

Wang Yuan’s head felt a little dizzy after hearing this.

 Half a day later, he shook his head and said, "You should take good care of yourself and try to come back as soon as possible. I'm tired of these things."

 After saying this, he left the stone room.

 After he left, Luo Chen pressed his chest and coughed several times.

 The external injuries are okay, but the internal injuries will probably take a while.

However, these are all physical injuries and do not have any serious impact on spiritual practice.

“It’s just right. This period of time can allow me to practice some meditation.”

Luo Chen took pleasure in the pain, opened the formation, and then quietly descended into the spiritual vein cave.

 Familiar places, familiar scenes.

Luo Chen frowned as he looked at the increasingly transparent piece of raw spiritual stone.

“The aura here has become increasingly thin.”

“Isn’t there really any spiritual vein upgrading project going on in Luofeng Mountain?”

“Forget it, don’t think too much about it for now, at least this place can still support my practice.”

 Concentrate your mind, sink into the waveless ancient well, and perform the Changchun Gong on Luo Chen.

 …

 Four days later.

Luo Chen opened his eyes, coughed slightly, and then showed a look of surprise on his face.

 Having reached the ninth level of Qi refining!

 Open the properties panel.

Luo Chen browsed in a relaxed and happy mood for the first time.

 【Realm: Ninth Level of Qi Refining Stage: 1/100】

 【Gongfa: Dzogchen Changchun Gong, Mingshen Breaking Evil Introduction 71/100】

[Spells: Dzogchen Fireball Technique, Dzogchen Carefree Wind Control, Dzogchen Traction Technique, Dzogchen Breath Condensing Spirit Technique, Entanglement Technique Master 810/1000, Spirit Eye Technique Master 980/1000, Cleansing Technique Master 775/100, Healing Technique Perfect 470/500, Earth Moon Technique Proficiency 250/300, Wave Technique Proficiency 210/300, Sound Isolation Technique Beginner 71/100]

 【Alchemy: Master Zhe Yushou 510/1000, Perfect Suxin Shou 327/500】

 【Martial Arts: Master of Opening the Mountain and Breaking Tablets 780/1000, Perfect Heavenly Lady Scattering Flowers 319/500】

 【Skills: First-level alchemist: Bigu San Dzogchen, Zhongmiaowan Master 730/1000, Chalcedony Pill Master 850/1000, Blood-Burning Pill Beginner 62/100】

 【Achievement points: 34 points】

 A careful calculation shows that the eighth level of the Qi refining period was entered in early spring and March.

Although the weather is still extremely hot, it is already the golden month of September.

　Full half a year has passed.

In the past six months, he has almost never stopped practicing Changchun Gong, and he has been refining the impurities in his spiritual power all the time.

 Coupled with the assistance of many cultivation resources such as Chenchen Dan, Anshen Incense, and Moonlight Grass, his spiritual power is always at its peak.

Especially the bottle of monkey wine that Wang Yuan brought back from the Guyuan Mountains also provided him with great help.

 Finally, it was the battle five days ago. That battle provided him with the most solid foundation for taking the final step.

Now that his condition has returned to its peak, he has successfully reached the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

“It took half a year, and I consumed tens of thousands of spiritual stones before I finally took this step.”

“Which casual cultivator can have such luxury as me?”

 “But it’s all worth it!”

 Luo Chen almost wanted to laugh heartily.

Although the cost was huge, it only took half a year to cross a small realm, which was still a small realm in the late stage of Qi refining.

 If you tell me, no one will believe you.

“I don’t think I have lost face as a time traveler. In less than two years, I went from the third level of Qi Refining Stage to the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage.”

With a smile, Luo Chen first took a look inside his body.

 In the middle of Dantian, there is a faint cloud-like spiritual energy cloud.

 This is a sign that the monk has reached the ninth level of the Qi refining stage.

 When the spiritual power is completely purified, this strange scene will be formed in the Dantian.

 Only when the spiritual energy cloud is formed, the final step of practice can be carried out.

“According to Mi Shuhua’s experience in refining qi, the entire Dantian needs to be filled with clouds of spiritual energy. Only then can it be called complete qi refining.”

At a quick glance, Luo Chen was a little shocked.

The spiritual energy cloud in his body now only occupies less than one-tenth of his Dantian.

 In other words, to completely fill it up, you need to spend ten times more time on the eighth level of Qi refining.

“No wonder many casual cultivators stay at the ninth level of Qi refining throughout their lives.”

“Just breaking through the eighth level of Qi Refining is extremely difficult, but this last step is ten times more difficult than before.”

“Even with my full resources, it will take five or six years, and we have to make sure there are no accidents along the way.”

 “The only advantage is probably that I can keep my roots!”

 Yes, keep the roots!

 This cloud of spiritual energy in the body is the root of spiritual power.

As long as there is a ray in the body, even if the spiritual power in the body is swayed and cultivated again, there is no need to spend a huge amount of time to purify it bit by bit.

 It only needs a little polishing, and it can be restored as pure and pure as before.

Of course, this is aimed at the sect monks, the kind of sect monks who have complete and pure spiritual power skills.

 In casual cultivation, you still have to use clumsy methods to polish it bit by bit.

 But at this time, because of the spiritual root, a lot of time can still be saved.

“So, there is a case where Duan Feng used the Taoist platform to fight, exert his spiritual power, and then slowly cultivated it back and continued to refine it!”

 After figuring this out, Luo Chen was not downcast.

 So what if the time is ten times longer than before?

It’s only five or six years!

His life span is considered sufficient now and he can afford to spend it.

No longer looking inwards, Luo Chen browsed other entries.

 “Ming Shen Sha Sha is about to enter the second stage!”

After sighing, Luo Chen was quite excited.

After stimulating the thirty-six acupuncture points together, Mingshen Posha entered the door, and then appeared in the skill column of the attribute panel.

This is pretty much what he guessed. Ming Shen's breaking of evil is indeed a skill.

 It’s just that it’s hard to classify.

If you introduce the evil spirit into the body and refine it, it is considered as a Qi refining method.

 But Luo Chen has not done so yet, even once to bring evil into his body.

　　If viewed individually, it not only has the effect of tempering one's will, but also has the effect of weakly improving the foundation of the soul.

 So, the mind training method? Practicing divine exercises?

Moreover, this technique was created by a martial arts master. After the evil spirit enters the body, as long as it can withstand it, it will have an additional effect of tempering the body.

So, what about physical exercises?

 It’s not easy to classify, this is Luo Chen’s evaluation of it.

 Let’s practice for now!

 If nothing else, Luo Chen's tolerance for pain has reached an extremely terrifying level.

That talisman's attack is so powerful.

Luo Chen was able to smile freely and elegantly even after taking a hard blow, showing off his cool demeanor in front of countless casual cultivators in Dahefang.

This Ming Shen has a share of the credit for destroying evil spirits!

 In the spell column, there is nothing much to say.

 Three new spells have been acquired. Earth Moon Technique and Wave Technique are used to prepare for the second-level spell Landslide.

He picked out the sound insulation technique from a pile of trophies. He didn’t want to be powerful, just practical!

 It is a healing technique, and it has been progressing very quickly recently.

 Because he was injured, he just threw it at him whenever he had nothing to do.

 “Hey, the magic of spiritual vision is about to be perfected?”

Luo Chen’s eyes had already slipped to the column of alchemy, but he jumped back instantly.

  【Master of Spiritual Eyes 980/1000】

“There are only 20 proficiency levels left…”

Luo Chen rubbed his chin. The beard he had shaved off not long ago had sprouted again after four or five days of seclusion.

He rubbed his chin, feeling itchy.

 Yi Ru, his current mood.

 “When I broke through to the master level, the vision of rooted eyes appeared.”

 “Then if Dzogchen is achieved, why not take off?”

Of course, the effect of the spell's successful appearance is not necessarily a qualitative improvement.

Just like the traction technique of Dzogchen, it only made Luo Chen outstanding in the use of a set of magical instruments.

 But for a single magic weapon, compared with the master level, the improvement is not too big, and it only increases the control range of part of the magic weapon.

“Perhaps, it’s also related to my physical constitution?”

Luo Chen thought of Runming Pearl Liquid.

 The total amount of Runming Pearl Liquid he got was about six bottles.

 All of them have been used up, and there is no special effect of seeing through the Nine Nether.

According to his guess, it is probably too little.

Or maybe the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect has hidden a secret, and the Runming Pearl Liquid sold externally is of much worse quality than the one used within the sect.

So what Qing Yuanzi said at the beginning was that this thing was very effective for alchemists, and it was based on the fact that the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect produced the real thing.

 “Ignore it for now, work harder next, and then talk about it when you have reached perfection in one breath.”

 The attribute column slid down, and the alchemy column made Luo Chen curl his lips.

 There are only two alchemy techniques, namely the Jade Shou and the Su Xin Shou, which are indeed too few.

It would be great if you could learn several rumored alchemy techniques recorded in "Qing Yuan Dan Jie".

“It is rumored that Huanxi Shou can have excellent processing effects on water spiritual materials and various liquid spiritual materials.”

“If I learn it, I will be more powerful than a tiger, and I may even dare to directly refine the Blood Evil Pill.”

 The main ingredients of the Blood Evil Pill are Huang Quan Yin Sha, monk essence blood and Zihe Che.

 Among them, Huangquan Yinsha and essence and blood can be counted as water spiritual materials and liquid spiritual materials.

The reason why Luo Chen didn't dare to get started was that he was completely unsure of the main ingredients in the alchemy process.

It would be fine if you just get started directly, but this is a second-level elixir recipe and does not belong to the corresponding realm.

 When getting started with the system, one’s own conditions will also be taken into consideration.

 The more achievement points you need to consume if your own conditions are not up to standard.

 That's why Luo Chen is so eager for alchemy skills like Huanxi Shou.

“Huanxi Shou, Qi Collection Technique, Divine Fusion Technique… I don’t know when I will be able to possess these wonderful alchemy techniques!”

 It’s fantasy time!

After the fantasy, Luo Chen curled his lips, almost thinking that after breaking through the realm, his mood was unstable and he had inner demons.

 Bah, how can low-level monks have so many inner demons!

 After glancing at the martial arts and skills, Luo Chen finally looked at the achievement point.

He could not help but murmur:

“It’s 34 o’clock, I don’t know if it’s enough to get started with the second-level elixir recipe.”
