Chapter 29: Chapter 29 The Hope of Breaking Free l
Translator: 549690339
Night has fallen.
Luo Chen leaped from the rooftop, landing as lightly as a feather despite plummeting like a thousand-pound boulder.
Carrying the last dustpan into the house, after checking on the herbs that had been drying in the afternoon, he couldn’t help but nod his head in satisfaction.
“The herbal medicines from the Hundred Herbs Pavilion are indeed of guaranteed quality!”
In the past, the herbs that he purchased from rogue cultivators were mostly semi-processed.
Some were purposely not trimmed of their useless parts to weigh heavier.
Some were not sufficiently dried, leading to too much moisture and insufficient condensation of medicinal power.
In any case, there were always various deficiencies.
As a result, Luo Chen had to use his own experience to re-process the raw materials each time he bought them, in addition to the special treatment.
But these issues were absent in the items he bought this time from the Hundred Herbs Pavilion.
A simple treatment was all that was required to reach the standard for refinement. Witne$$ th€ birth of thïš c0ntent, streaming forth from n0v!lbin★
Indeed, there is a reason why the expensive ones are expensive!
After storing everything, Luo Chen took out the technique book that he bought from Wang Yuan during the day.
“The Five Essential Techniques During the Qi Refinement Period”.
Fireball Technique, Attraction Technique, Wind Riding Technique, Spirit Vision Technique, and Healing Technique.
This set of techniques costs five hundred lower grade spirit stones in the Spirit Source Study, and an oath must be made not to resell it.
As for personally teaching others, there is not much limitation.
However, not many people would be willing to spend money to specifically learn these most basic techniques.
Luo Chen only had to pay two hundred spirit stones to buy from Wang Yuan, which saved him a great deal of spirit stones!
Of course, the consequence was that he frowned while reading the book.
“The cultivator who copied this book, why does his handwriting resemble a dog’s crawl!”
“And this page, it’s full of bloodstains. I can barely make out the words.”
With a sigh, Luo Chen could only endure and continue reading, after all, Wang Yuan had mentioned these issues before the purchase.
It was a willing buyer and a willing seller!
‘Tve already learned the Fireball Technique and am about to upgrade to the grandmaster level proficiency. I suffered a small loss of forty spirit stones.”
“Unfortunately, they can only be bought as a set, I can’t just rip out a few pages, can I?”
Turning to the page about the Attraction Technique, Luo Chen got interested.
The content of the book is “so and so, this way and that.”
“So that’s how it is!”
After reading the entire Attraction Technique, Luo Chen suddenly realized.
It is more than just a technique; it is more of a method for exercising the control of spirit power.
Humans inherently have souls. After a cultivator starts refining spirit qi into his body, spirit consciousness will be born inside the soul.
The reason for the existence of this Technique was that a master had reverse-engineered it and subsequently promoted it far and wide.
After checking the term for the Attraction Technique, Luo Chen also read through other things on the attribute panel.
“Why is my lifespan still the same?”
He’s a bit annoyed.
He reasoned that after breaking through to the Fourth Level Qi Refinement Stage and his body gradually improving, his lifespan should at least be a few years longer than his previous life’s maximum age, right!
Could it be that he could really only live for seventy-five years in this life, or was it only after making a breakthrough to a higher realm that his lifespan would increase?
He couldn’t figure it out!
His mood of annoyance also dissipated somewhat after seeing the proficiency of a few Techniques.
The Fireball Technique was about to breakthrough to the Grandmaster Level, rewarding his unwavering dedication to practicing it.
The fastest progressing Technique was Carefree Wandering. He was on the verge of promoting it from Beginner to Perfection Level.
The proficiency of the Entanglement Technique, which had remained stagnant for a long time, had also started to increase under his deliberate practice.
The promotion of these Techniques not only brings about a leap in combat power but also provides Luo Chen with Achievement Points!
Previously, when Longevity Technique was promoted to the Perfection level, it provided him with a point.
If he manages to accumulate ten Achievement Points again, he could learn the basics of a completely new type of Elixir.
Although, there is not even a shadow of a Pill Formula yet.
But compared to these Techniques, what Luo Chen cares about most is the skill column.
[Allure Pill Beginner 70/100]
He is only thirty points short of proficiency to upgrade!
By then, the success rate of the Allure Pill should increase, and he will possess a real skill to live a long life in the Inner City.
After browsing the attribute panel, Luo Chen let out a deep breath.
All along, the lack of Spirit Stones has been a shackle hampering his cultivation.
In order to resolve this constraint, he has been intensifying the production of Allure Pills to improve proficiency and generate genuine profit.
Now he finally sees hope to break free from this restraint!
“It’s worth celebrating!”
When Luo Chen walked outside, it was already deep into the night.
He glanced in the direction of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion but immediately shook his head.
No way, he really couldn’t afford to entertain himself there.
“Forget it, let’s release some fireworks!”
He aimed at the sky and cast four Fireball Techniques.
Watching the fireballs explode in the night sky and the sparks burst forth, he smirked.
Then he heard a furious roar from next door.
“What’s all the noise in the middle of the night?”
It was a woman’s voice, full of vigor.
Luo Chen shrank his neck, made sure he wouldn’t start a fire, then quickly retreated back into his room.
That was careless!
