Chapter 181 - 115: Internal Warfare of Demon

But Mi Shuhua wasn’t an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he had a recently acquired magic item, its speed was unimaginably fast, something Luo Chen had glimpsed when they first met.

And, run?

“Why would I run?”

He still needed the manpower and resources of the Broken Mountain Gang to

cultivate.

Besides, Mi Shuhua keeping an eye on him, that was within his expectations.

This strand of Spirit Power was merely a backup insurance instead of Zhou Yuanli and those bodyguards.

The most important point was that Luo Chen now had a way to eliminate this strand of Spirit Power quickly!

He could completely remove this Spirit Power by a forceful activation of his internal Spirit Power, utilizing the Grandmaster Level Cleaning Technique.

Even though the Foundation Establishment Cultivators are powerful, they are not terrifying to an extreme degree.

Spirit Power, once detached from the body, is like rootless duckweed.

If the distance is too far, or time too long, it will gradually fade away.

Mi Shuhua wasn’t that strong, to detonate this thread of Spirit Power from hundreds of miles away.

“Let’s leave it on me for now!”

“In this way, Mi Shuhua will be even more reassured about me, his tolerance would also be higher, which would facilitate me in taking advantage in the future.”

“Until the point of an outright conflict, he will always underestimate me

tactically.”

After understanding these points, Luo Chen’s sense of unease also decreased significantly.

As a Rogue Cultivator, such should be his outlook!

He leisurely returned to the Pill Hall upstairs, seemingly forgetting about the internal strife among the Demon Wolves and the subtle tactics used by the Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Instead, he took out a piece of animal skin leisurely and began to study it.

If Wang Yuan were here, he would recognize it. That animal skin was the same one he had given Luo Chen earlier.

It documented a Second Order Pill Formula that was very important to him.

Time had passed, quite a long while.

This pill formula was obtained shortly after he had become the master of the Pill Hall.

Carefully calculated, it had been more than half a year since then.

From the height of summer to autumn, and then to the passing of the bitter winter.

Time flew like an arrow!

There was a moment where Luo Chen genuinely felt the vicissitudes of a

cultivator witnessing the passage of time.

Luo Chen sighed, studying the animal skin carefully, occasionally taking out

pen and paper, making notes on another small notebook.

That small notepad was used to record his insights on pill refinement.

If there were any new revelations, or new methods of dealing with medicinal ingredients, he would record everything on that note.

This habit was formed after his reading the “Qingyuan Pill Explanation.”

That “Qingyuan Pill Explanation” came with many ingenious ideas of Qing Yuanzi.

Pill Techniques such as Breaking Jade Hand and Simplicity Hand were accumulated a bit by bit by Qing Yuanzi.

Now, he also formed the very habit.

But the notes he wrote were all relevant to the Blood Evil Qi Pill Formula.

[Cultivator’s Essence Blood isn’t feasible, how about Demon Beast’s blood?]

[Which kind of Demon Beast’s blood should be used?]

[Should it have similarities to the human body system? Monkey? Ape? The legendary Hairy Men? Or possibly, the enlightened beasts from the Eastern Wasteland?]

[Netherworld Evil Qi is too scarce, what if it is replaced with commonly found,

yet slightly inferior, Earth Fire Evil Qi?]

[Earth Fire Evil Qi is completely different from Netherworld Evil Qi, it can’t be used, but the idea could be reserved. Yin Attribute Heavenly Water Might work instead.]

[As one of the three main materials, Purple River Carriage is used to garner a hint of innate Qi. This is easy to solve, there are many herbs containing innate Qi, they can all be tested.]

Many elements were noted down in the booklet.

Whether it was a sudden inspiration or thoughtful deliberation.

Almost everything related to the Dao of Alchemy, Path of Blood, and rare medicinal ingredients were considered in that pill formula.

Whether to replace it or abandon it, there were countless possibilities.

Luo Chen never brushed off the pill formula that Wang Yuan cherished so much.

He didn’t call Wang Yuan “Brother Wang” for nothing.

The two of them had been through trials and tribulations together.

When Wang Yuan was in dire straits, he lent a helping hand.

When he was seriously injured and came across a “highly valued” Storage Bag,

Wang Yuan did not take advantage of his precarious situation.

Wang Yuan even helped him a lot, giving him some care and protection. As long as Luo Chen still had the “Records of the Customs of Six Realms”, the relationship between the two was not beyond repair.

Even without much interaction in daily life, both understood this tacit understanding well.

Luo Chen cherished this friendship, so whenever he had the capacity, he didn’t mind helping Wang Yuan.

Having spent more than half a year studying, Luo Chen had already gained some insights into the Blood Evil Qi Pill Formula.

After the improvements, there are several different formulas.

He would occasionally practice using the facilities of the Pill Hall.

But most of them failed.

The few successes that did occur only confirmed the effectiveness of a certain auxiliary material.

What Luo Chen truly cared about was the feedback from the system. When daylight came, Luo Chen replaced one of the main ingredients in the formula. Believing that the formula was nearly flawless, he attempted to enter the beginner stage through the system.

At present, after reaching Grandmaster Level in the areas of Concealing Breath Mantra, Cleaning Technique, and Mountain Breaking Palm, as well as the Jade Marrow Pill, his Achievement Points had broken through the ceiling of thirty.

Luo Chen dared not use his Achievement Points to infer a complete pill formula from an incomplete one. He did not know how many points he would need to invest in order to infer a complete formula.

If it was a bottomless pit, the loss would be too great.

But if it was a formula that he had already researched, he could use the system feedback to determine whether it was complete.

“[Blood Evil Qi Pill fragment formula… First Order Blood Ignition Pill, can enter the beginner’s stage]”

Seeing this prompt, Luo Chen was stunned.

The pill I want to enter is a pill that can be used for cultivation!

Your renamed “Blood Ignition Pill” doesn’t seem to be an orthodox pill at all!

Luo Chen paused the entry, and took a closer look at the improved pill formula this time.

He used the blood of a First Order Explosive Monkey, Earth Fire Evil Qi, and Tian Yang Fruit as the main ingredients.

His intention was to avoid Yin-leaning main ingredients, reverse the process, and speculate a Yang-leaning cultivation pill formula.

Even if it was First Order, it should be enough to support Wang Yuan’s Qi Refinement.

But the result he got was unexpectedly the Blood Ignition Pill.

“What happens if you take it?”

Strangely enough, Luo Chen thought of the many fantasy and martial arts novels he had read in his previous life.

Like the Heavenly Demon Dismantling Technique, Burning Blood Escape Technique, etc.

Could it be that the Blood Ignition Pill has a similar effect?

Luo Chen hesitated a bit, wondering whether to enter this pill formula.

Speaking of which, he had quite a few pill formulas on hand.

But apart from the Allure Pill and Jade Marrow Pill, the rest were all incomplete pill formulas.

The Tongyou Pill and the Second Order Jade Dew Pill were incomplete.

The Blood Evil Pill formula was complete, but if he dares to try to collect the main ingredient for it, he might as well wait for the Yu Ding Sword Cultivator to take his head from thousands of miles away!

in other words, apart from the Allure Pill and Jade Marrow Pill, Luo Chen really didn’t have any complete pill formulas that he could directly take on.

Now that he had an additional First Order Pill formula that he had improved, he couldn’t help but feel eager.

It was easy to collect Explosive Monkey Blood.

In the Ancient Plains Mountain Range, there were many primate demon beasts, and the Explosive Monkey Tribe was spread across several mountains.

The Earth Fire Evil Qi was also easy to buy, it was sold everywhere, be it at Wanbao Pavilion, Spirit Source Study, or even at the Immortal Residence. As for the Tian Yang Fruit, it was sold by the pound at the Hundred Herbs Pavilion.

Because the Tian Yang Fruit contained a slight hint of the innate aura, it served as a small supplement for Qi Refinement Cultivators.

Even if you ate it directly, the more the better.

In the past, when Luo Chen lived in the quad, Gu Caiyi would often bring some back when she got off work.

Luo Chen also had the opportunity to eat a few. The taste, well, was very pungent, very stimulating!

As for the additional auxiliary materials after the improvement, with the Broken Mountain Gang’s resources and the supplement from the Medicine Hall, it wouldn’t be a problem.

“No, this pill formula can’t be known by the Broken Mountain Gang.”

“The Jade Marrow Pill is already enough to elevate my status and importance. One more pill only adds icing to the cake, and even exposes my true prowess in Dao of Alchemy.”

Luo Chen thought for a while and decided to enter.

What kind of effect the Blood Burning Pill had would have to wait until it was refined.

Besides, there has never been a useless pill in the world, only cultivators who didn’t use it properly.

Even the Altar Pill, which is a side door pill, has a certain market.

This First Order Pill, derived from a Second Order Pill formula, shouldn’t be worse than the Altar Pill!

However, in terms of refinement, Luo Chen decided not to borrow the hands of the Broken Mountain Gang.

“It seems that in the next days, I will have to find time to secretly collect the raw materials for the Blood Ignition Pill.”

Luo Chen’s eyes flickered, thinking about how to obtain what he wanted without attracting attention..
