Leaning Moon Valley, light snow flying.

In the Dantang, the tea was fragrant, and Luo Chen was holding a book, reading it with relish.

There was the sound of footsteps, followed by a tired sigh.

He didn't raise his head and said, "Failed again?" ”

"Hmm."

A muffled voice came from Tang Quan's mouth, and the whole person looked listless at the moment.

The reason for being so spiritless is that firstly, it is caused by the failure of refining Zhongmiao Pill, and secondly, the realm is too low, and a lot of spirit is consumed in the process of alchemy.

"It's normal to fail, and the birth of any low-grade pill is accompanied by thousands of failures."

Listening to this plain and unfluctuating tone, Tang Quan sighed.

I thought that he was valued by Luo Chen, so he let him lead the refining of Zhongmiao Pill and prove that he had some talent.

But for the past month, one furnace a day, he has failed.

The closest thing to success is that it is only a semi-finished product.

Looking at Luo Chen's light and breezy expression, Tang Quan couldn't help but think, can the gap between people be so big?

Luo Chen was just a casual cultivator at the beginning, with neither the guidance of a famous teacher nor the support of a gang.

All the alchemy raw materials must be accumulated by yourself.

But even so, the other party also refined the Zhongmiao Pill, a high-grade elixir.

Compared to him, he is simply a waste.

He even doubted whether he had any alchemy talent.

"Maybe the hall master is really an alchemy genius that is rare in thousands of years, otherwise he wouldn't have refined a medium-grade chalcedony pill so quickly."

Just as he was about to leave, his eyes fell on the cover of the book Luo Chen was reading.

"The Record of the Great River"

？

Tang Quan immediately became interested, "Hall Master, are you very interested in the Dao Platform Competition?" ”

Luo Chen hummed and said, "A little interested." ”

He bought this book from a loose cultivator known as "Dahe Baixiaosheng" in Baishi Square.

It includes the records of many monks on the Dahefang Tianjiao list, as well as the means they are good at, and so on.

"This kind of idle book written by others after hearsay, you can't see the real thing."

This time, Luo Chen raised his head.

Tang Quan smiled, "This kind of thing, it depends on what my uncle once asked." ”

Luo Chen's eyes lit up!

Yes, these idle writings are exaggerated, according to the above description, the monks in the middle stage of Qi refining are invincible, and the late stage of Qi refining is ruined.

But once asked Daoyou, that is a frequent visitor to the Daoist platform!

Wouldn't it be okay to ask him yourself?

……

Five days later!

Under the jade of Luofeng Mountain, Luo Chen and Zeng Wen came together.

Oh no, and a woman.

She snuggled up to Zeng Wen's side, the little bird was human, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and her smile was quite charming.

This is Zeng Qian's new girlfriend, who is said to be from a broken family of cultivators, and has a clean net worth.

Now I have asked Daoyou, because of the scarcity of Zhongmiao Pills, coupled with the affairs of the Battle Hall, I have rarely gone to Tianxiang Building.

Maybe it's a change of heart, so I have a plan to start a family.

The realm of the ninth layer of qi refining was enough to make many helpless female cultivators look at each other differently.

That family was also very welcome to ask.

Therefore, the two sides are currently fighting hotly, and there is a tendency to officially become Taoist couples.

Seeing Luo Chen looking up at the information on the jade bi, he asked and smiled.

"Don't worry, I've seen this guy on stage several times. Although there is an eight-layer realm of qi refining, magic weapons are scarce in his hands, and the only one who can handle it is a high-grade flying sword. ”

"With your strength, brother, as long as you deal with it properly, there is no problem in taking down the other party!"

Luo Chen retracted his gaze, looking eager to try.

After signing up two days ago, it was his turn to compete on stage today.

Before this, Zeng Wen and even Duan Feng carefully selected the opponent for him, and also gave advice on how to defeat the opponent.

Given that Luo Chen took out a low-grade magic weapon as a bet, the realm was only seven layers of qi refining.

The opponent named Huang Bin happily accepted the invitation to fight.

After the ranking of the Jade Ding Sword Pavilion monks, the game was set for the first game this afternoon.

"Let's go inside!"

With a wave of his hand, Luo Chen was ready to enter the passage.

However, Zeng asked him to wait.

Then the next thing he started walking around.

I first went to the Dusty Moon food stall and bought a bag of popcorn, a bag of fairy beans, a bottle of pineapple wine, and then went to Honey Snow Ice City to buy a cup of milk tea.

After handing over the snacks and milk tea to the peach-eyed female cultivator, Zeng Wen smiled at Luo Chen and got into the gambling stall next to him.

"Boss, under ten spirit stones, press Luo ......"

He paused and looked back at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen is helpless, he shouldn't be a yellow dog, now he is a gambling dog, right!

"Murong Yuan"

Zeng asked and smiled, "Ten spirit stones, I bet on Murong Yuan to win." By the way, what are the odds of him and Huang Bin this time? ”

The monk at the gambling stall pouted, "I don't know this, and I dare to bet?" ”

"Support my brother, what do you mean!"

The monk glanced at Luo Chen behind him, pursed his lips and said, "Huang Bin is an old man on the Dao platform, he has participated in many battles, although he has many losses and few victories, he is also experienced. This newcomer Murong Yuan, whether it is realm or fame, cannot be compared to him. ”

"So the odds are on the high side, and it's five times higher at the moment."

"Are you sure you're taking him?"

Needless to say, I asked to bet decisively.

Then, in Luo Chenbai's eyes, they bought tickets together and entered the channel.

He and his female companion bought tickets, but Luo Chen didn't need them.

After entering, he asked curiously, "How did you take such a pseudonym as Murong Yuan?" ”

"Isn't that to be low-key, in case I will rank first in qi refining in the future."

"I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about the origin of this pseudonym, Murong ......"

"Yes, just the surname of my sister-in-law Murong Qinglian. Compound surname, I think it's very good, there is a forced qualification! Moreover, she usually treats me as a younger brother, and introduces me to Taoist couples. ”

Luo Chen casually said the origin of the vest.

As for the "Yuan" in the name, it was also taken according to the people around him, the Yuan in Wang Yuan's name.

After saying a few words, when it was time to enter the platform, the two sides separated.

Luo Chen wants to enter the "players' lounge".

Along the long passage, Luo Chen came to the lounge with the jade medal of the competition.

In fact, it is an ashram, which is specially used for the monks who want to go to the field to rest and wait.

As soon as he stepped into the quiet room where he was, Luo Chen sighed softly.

In this small room, the aura is so strong?

It is far better than the dwellings in the inner city, even if it is weaker than his spiritual vein cave.

"No wonder so many monks are keen to participate in the competition, and they can't imagine that this ashram is still a good place to practice."

Luo Chen muttered, and then thought of the previous rumors.

The first-order spiritual vein in Dahefang is said to have originated from Luofeng Mountain, which was imprisoned at the beginning.

Now it seems that I am afraid that it is true.

Now Luofeng Mountain has been developed into a discussion platform, and the Jade Ding Sword Pavilion has also appropriately given up some benefits, so as to attract many monks to participate enthusiastically.

"If I don't have a spiritual vein cave, and I don't have alchemy skills, if the realm is enough, I'm afraid I will also be keen on the Dao platform competition."

After staying in the quiet room and resting for two incense sticks, the jade plate in his hand shone brightly.

An indifferent voice came from it.

"In the first game of the afternoon, Huang Bin, the eighth layer of qi refining, faced off against Murong Yuan, the seventh layer of qi refining!"

"Monks from both sides, please come to the stage!"

Luo Chen's heart jumped, and he tidied up his robe.

Walk out of the ashram and walk along the corridor, step by step.

When he stepped out of the dungeon, there was a sudden cheer of mountains and tsunamis.

As he flew to the high platform, the cheers reached the extreme.

"Is this how Wang Yuan and Qin Liangchen felt when they were fighting on stage?"

Luo Chen looked around, and for a moment, he felt a little blood boiling.

But with the arrival of the opponent Huang Bin, that restless heart was as calm as a deep pool in an instant.

In fact, Luo Chen does seem to have a unique talent for fighting.

It's not like the Dan Dao talent that he usually brags about, it's actually given by the system.

In combat, he's always been very good.

Came through and experienced a total of three battles.

The first time he was inexperienced, he relied on fraud to kill him.

The second time, taking advantage of the contempt of the enemy Gao Tingge, he broke out and made a contribution in one fell swoop.

And the third time recently, he made the most of his speed advantage, calmly laid out all kinds of means, and finally won with one against three, but it was easier than the previous two times.

Luo Chen also gradually realized this talent of his own.

Before and after this registration, I was also familiar with the state of on-the-spot combat.

"In Xia Huangbin, I have seen Taoist friends."

"Murong Yuan, please recruit."

"It's easy to say, let's stop at the point, how about not hurting the peace?"

Looking at the middle-aged man with a warm smile, Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, what does this mean?

Weakness?

Or is it a tacit game?

The thoughts in his mind turned, but when the referee gave the order, Luo Chen did not hesitate to make a move.

First, pull back and take to the skies.

Then, the fire-tipped spear choked in his hand, the tip of the gun pointing downward.

Spiritual power surged out, and the gray body of the spear continued to light up with red light until the tip of the spear was as bright as incandescent.

"Not good!"

Huang Bin's face changed slightly, and the other party didn't seem to be affected by his words at all.

A flying sword that had been prepared for a long time burst out.

Sure enough, it was a show of weakness to the enemy, and I had been prepared, but fortunately I had a slight advantage.

Facing this blow, Luo Chen's face was grim.

"Go!"

With a light spit, the sky was full of sparks, falling like rain.

Not only that, Luo Chen flicked his fingers, and a chalcedony waste bead flew out of the Mars.

The flying sword that shot out happened to be hit by the chalcedony waste bead.

With the self-explosion of the waste beads, the flying sword was stunned.

Just as he was about to move forward, a series of chalcedony beads followed.

And Huang Bin below is resisting the fire and rain in embarrassment at the moment.

"What kind of artifact is this?"

"It's so weird!"

He gritted his teeth, and while the wooden shield in his hand could still resist one or two, he continued to use the traction technique to control the flying sword, trying to hit Luo Chen.

Looking at the opponent's reluctant resistance, Luo Chen was thoughtful.

The opponent of the eighth layer of Qi refining didn't seem to be very strong.

With just the use of the fire-tipped spear, he suppressed it so completely.

However, the opponent's spiritual power is strong, and he has not been tired after supporting it for so long, and he even has the strength to control the flying sword.

But, that's all!

He shook his head slightly, and his hand pushed hard.

Under the rain of fire, the muskets turned into dragons and roared.

In the face of this violent blow, Huang Bin's face changed greatly.

"I throw in the towel!"

As the word admit defeat was spit out, the Jade Ding Sword Cultivator of the ninth layer of Qi refining pursed his lips and made a spiritual decision.

On the formation arranged on the platform, it was buzzing and trembling.

Then a curtain of light spread out.

Before the medium-grade defensive wooden shield shattered, Huang Bin was enveloped dangerously.

Looking at the tip of the spear that stopped in front of him, constantly spinning, Huang Bin's face turned pale.

Lost.

It's so easy to lose.

"Fellow Daoist, good magic weapon, good means!"

A good magic weapon refers to a spear with a tip of fire.

And the good means refer to Luo Chen's constant disturbance of the chalcedony waste beads of his top-grade flying sword.

Luo Chen arched his hand, smiled slightly, and flew off the platform.

However, after leaving the formation, what I heard was not the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis, but the cursing one after another.

"Match-fixing!"

"Why should the seventh layer of qi refining win the eighth layer of qi refining?"

"Fake match, return my spirit stone!"

"Why is it over so soon, it's not fun to fight at all."

"There was no blood in this game, and that Huang Bin admitted defeat too quickly."

"This Murong Yuan won't be arranged by the Sword Pavilion, it's so easy to win, it's hard for me not to suspect him of playing a match-fixing."

Luo Chen's face stiffened.

After entering the dungeon, he couldn't help but scold.

Bet on the dog to kill the whole family!

Shouldn't you cheer me on for such a wonderful start?

After returning to the underground palace, a Sword Pavilion monk brought him a prize.

The appearance fee of ten spirit stones, as well as a low-grade magic weapon.

"Isn't there an elixir?"

The monk waved his hand, "This magic weapon is a bet made by both sides before the game, but the elixir reward is only available at the end of the month." ”

Seeing Luo Chen's disappointment, he smiled and said, "Actually, after the battle is over, you can also continue to practice in the underground palace meditation room until we close the mountain at night." ”

This should be the invisible benefit.

Luo Chen didn't care, turned around and walked out of the platform.

After coming outside, Zeng Wen and his female companion were already waiting for him.

"Sure enough, he is worthy of the man I like! The first time I came to power, I defeated the enemy in style, just like I did at the beginning. ”

The female companion next to her, her peach blossom eyes narrowed with a smile, and she looked at Zeng Wen with great admiration.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, forget it, don't expose the mess that this thing was beaten to the point that his face was pale and his spiritual power was almost completely gone.

Knowing that Zeng Wen still had to collect the bets, Luo Chen didn't accompany him and went home directly.

Close the door and run Changchun Gong while keeping an eye on your status at all times.

"I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I realize that every battle does have the effect of refining spiritual power."

He could sense that as the spiritual power gradually replenished, the spiritual power seemed to be purer than before.

This kind of purification is not caused by the exercises, but by the internal environment of the body.

Every time a Qi Refining Cultivator breaks through a small realm, it will cause the dantian to expand and store more spiritual power.

However, as the late stage of qi refining is reached, the shackles of the flesh have not been broken, and the upper limit of the dantian has almost begun to solidify, and only after the foundation is built, will it grow again.

Under the premise of the solidification of the dantian, the spiritual power that should continue to grow cannot be accommodated.

It is the passive compression and purification of the body that begins, and finally causes the spiritual power to be more refined than before.

"But the effect of this refinement is too weak?"

Luo Chen's brows furrowed.

If you really want to fight like this, when will you be able to purify your spiritual power to a state that can perfectly impact the foundation?

Luo Chen somewhat understood why Scattered Cultivation would never carry out this process at the seventh layer of Qi refining.

The reason is very simple, there is actually a lot of room for improvement in the spiritual power capacity of the seventh layer of qi refining.

That kind of passive compression and purification is too weak.

Even when fighting, the output and recovery of spiritual power are in a state of making ends meet, which will also affect cultivation.

Only when the ninth level of qi refining is reached, or even consummated, will the efficiency of refining spiritual power be maximized.

"It seems that we can't pin our hopes on fighting."

Luo Chen's gaze fell on the attribute panel.

The proficiency of Changchun Gong has gradually approached the Great Perfection.

The grandmaster-level Changchun Gong has the effect of automatically returning qi and opening up the meridians.

Once the Great Perfection is achieved, it may be able to make up for the shortcomings of purifying spiritual power.

The reason why Luo Chen guessed this was very simple.

Because Mi Shuhua said that Changchun Gong was born from the Immortal Immortal Immortal Sutra of the Medicine King Sect, and it itself has related functions.

However, the big sects have simplified the low-level exercises again and again.

In addition to refining qi, many special uses have been deleted.

And Luo Chen has already been recorded.

Even if the Great Perfection Changchun Gong didn't have a similar function, he didn't mind spending a lot of time polishing himself after refining the Qi Perfectly.
