”And my path, is to use pills as a means to Dao.”

”If you manage to master pill refinement technique, you will have no worries about cultivation resources!”

Qu Lingjun had a bewildered expression on his face.

It wasn’t until he lowered his head and saw the pill book marked ’Truth of Dan Chenzi’ in his hand that he started to ponder.

His gaze then fell on the Purple Cloud Bronze Furnace.

Finally, he nodded heavily.

”Disciple, remembers!”

Luo Chen made a sound of acknowledgement, then waved his hand.

The bronze doors of the Pill Hall slowly opened.

Sima Huiniang and Murong Qinglian entered together.

”Sister-in-law, you register for Qu Lingjun! From now on, he will be my direct disciple Luo Chen.”

Murong Qinglian uttered a sound of acknowledgement.

”Huiniang, from now on, elevate Qu Lingjun’s treatment to late stage Qi Refinement, and distribute an Ascendant Grade Jade Marrow Pill and a batch of Nourishing Origin Liquid to him every month.”

”Don’t give too many other elixirs, as it can hamper cultivation.”

Sima Huiniang nodded right away, her gaze towards the young man showing her envy.

They had never been this lucky when they were weak.

Being directly accepted by a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator as a direct disciple.

Even within the Luo Tian Creed now, Qu Lingjun’s treatment would be unique!

After all, he bore the title of being Luo Chen’s only direct disciple.

After sorting out all these matters, Luo Chen suddenly stood up.

”Now that this matter is settled, I’m going to close myself up for some time.”

”Leave the major and minor affairs of the Creed to you, Huiniang.”

”If there are unyielding external enemies, go find Hall Master Wang Yuan.”

”As far as the Jade Marrow Pill business with the various powers is concerned, postpone for now. As for the Fasting Elixir, let Mi Li take the lead. Moreover, if Qu Lingjun wants to refine pills, the Pill Hall and Medicine Hall must fully cooperate with him.”

His words were still echoing in the hall.

But Luo Chen’s figure had already disappeared without a trace.

Only the teary voice of an overjoyed Qu Hancheng, a striking sight, remained.

...

Three days later.

In the Inner City of the Great River District.

No, it should be called the Ghost City!

A solitary figure clad in a Fengdu Robe, carrying a glowing green lantern, was walking alone.

If there were any acquaintances, they would be astonished to discover: isn’t this Dan Chenzi, the Chief of the Luo Tian Creed?

He’s just established his Foundation, why isn’t he solidifying his realm, but instead running to the extremely dangerous Ghost City?

Keep in mind, in these few short years.

This Big River Ghost City has been becoming increasingly dangerous and can even be said to be terrifying.

The Ghost Generals within have increased from one initially to as many as nine now!

Ghost Generals are equivalent to Second Order Demon Beasts of the Demon Clan, and Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Human Clan.

This is true Second Order power!

Even if their minds are unclear, because of the geographical advantage of the Ghost Realm, they often can exert strength far surpassing that of Human Clan Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

As a result, over these years, the various powers dared not venture into the Big River Ghost City again.

They could only turn a blind eye, pretending it didn’t exist.

This is like burying your head in the sand.

While everyone is worried about the risks of the Ghost City.

At the same time, they were reluctant to give up the resources around the Great River District.

Luo Chen could understand their thinking, especially after having a candid chat with his three peers who were also at the Foundation Establishment stage. He has a clearer understanding of the dangers of the Ghost City.

Among the three, the Great Lake Gang under Wang Haichao has explored the most.

However, the one who has explored the deepest is Li Yixian, the female Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

She practices the Huayin Mantra and is particularly adept at handling Yin energy.

She had previously come alone to explore the Ghost City and gained quite a bit.

The reason she didn’t come later was because she was surrounded by two Ghost Generals and had to leave out of no choice.

So under such circumstances, why would Luo Chen still obstinately abandon solidifying his realm and come to explore the Big River Ghost City?

This has to do with the results obtained when he used his Spirit Vision Technique to observe the Ghost City on a whim.

Upon that glance.

He distinctly detected an extremely sturdy Spirit Qi fluctuation deep within the Ghost City, standing proudly amidst the countless gloomy Ghost Qi!

”That is the fluctuation of a Second Order Spirit Vein, I definitely did not see it wrong!”

Walking slowly on the seemingly nondescript street, Luo Chen pondered over the scene from that time, feeling slightly unnerved.

He had no choice but to come!

The most ideal place for a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator to cultivate is a Second Order Spirit Vein Land.

This is extremely hard to find in and around the Great River District.

Generally, not many Foundation Establishment Cultivators would stay in a First Order Spirit Vein Land and hesitate to leave.

Unless they are family cultivators like Mi Shuhua, Nangong Jin, and Li Yixian.

Hindered by their family, and unwilling to give up the plentiful resources of this place, they chose to stay.

Alternatively.

They are sect cultivators who are assigned to take care of their sect’s industries in remote markets by the sect, under the guise of time-limited missions.

Even without Second Order Spirit Land.

These Foundation Establishment Cultivators usually have some secret techniques to aid their cultivation.

Such as Mi Shuhua using the Gathering Spirit Array to transform the Spirit Land into Second Order.

Or Duan Qiankun, who stimulates the Ice-Fire Spirit Spring to temporarily form a Second Order Spirit Land.

But doing so would inevitably cost a lot.

Therefore, they normally aid their cultivation with elixirs more often.

After Luo Chen advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, he also had to face this dilemma.

In order to break through the Foundation Establishment, he frequently stimulated the Ice-Fire Spirit Spring.

In the end, he succeeded.

But his accumulations of Medium Grade Spirit Stones over the years were almost depleted.

The Luo Tian Creed still had a number of movable Spirit Stones, but they were all of lower grade.

So, he didn’t have a Second Order Spirit Land anymore.

And in his hands, he didn’t have any second-order elixirs suitable for his cultivation.

The only suitable Emperor Liquor, because of the difficulty in finding its main materials, high refinement difficulty, and high costs, cannot be used normally.

He can’t possibly have his hard-won pet, Little Red, killed in order to refine the elixir!

In the end, Luo Chen could only pin his hopes on the Big River Ghost City.
