Luo Chen could clearly sense that underneath the mat was a source of incredibly dense spiritual qi.
It was incredibly similar to the spirit vein tributary cave he’d discovered beneath the Crescent Valley, but somehow denser.
"Is there an enormous spirit stone ore underneath?"
"But even a tributary from the First Order Spirit Vein shouldn’t be capable of creating such an overwhelmingly enormous environment of spiritual qi!"
Just as Luo Chen was filled with doubts, a crisp cracking sound reached his ears.
Luo Chen looked towards the sound and saw a pile of transparent, slightly white, rhomboid crystals collapsing in the southeastern corner of the stone chamber, turning into a cloud of dust.
"Spirit Stones, Medium Grade Spirit Stones!"
At a glance, Luo Chen could count at least ten stones in that pile.
Moreover, this was only one corner.
In the remaining eight corners of the stone chamber, the same number of Medium Grade Spirit Stones could be found.
This meant there were eighty Medium Grade Spirit Stones placed on the floor which were equivalent to more than eight thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones!
"This place was originally a tributary of a Spirit Vein, belonging to the First Order. After my management, none of the spiritual qi can escape."
"Not only that, I utilized a Second-Rank Spirit Gathering Array to suck an enormous amount of spiritual qi from these Medium Grade Spirit Stones, mixed it with the spiritual qi in this area, finally creating an environment of a Second Order Spirit Vein for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to cultivate."
"Luo Chen, don’t you think cultivation here would be even better?"
Mi Shuhua stared at Luo Chen, his eyes intense.
Luo Chen immediately broke into an extremely satisfied smile, "That is undoubtedly better, Gang Leader. You cannot be thinking of lending this place to me for cultivation, are you!"
"Well, it’s not impossible, you can cultivate here once a month from now."
Mi Shuhua smirked, "Moreover, this place not only speeds up cultivation but also aids significantly in breaking into the Foundation Establishment Realm."
Temptation!
This old fellow is clearly trying to tempt me!
From the moment Mi Shuhua introduced the cultivating environment here, Luo Chen had realized this.
Especially when he mentioned its contribution to breaking into the Foundation Establishment Realm, Luo Chen became absolutely certain.
But why is he tempting me with this?
"Luo Chen, what are your thoughts about Foundation Establishment?"
Without hesitation, Luo Chen immediately replied, "It is my heart’s desire, I wish I could become a great Dao Path Cultivator!"
"Your ambition is commendable!" Mi Shuhua praised.
Luo Chen shook his head and sighed with bitterness, "It’s just that the Grand Dao Path is difficult, and with my poor aptitude, I fear it will be extremely difficult to even get a glimpse of the Foundation Establishment Realm in my lifetime."
"Oh, you are unduly belittling yourself."
Under Luo Chen’s astonished gaze, Mi Shuhua chuckled and said, "You are only a little step away from the Foundation Establishment Realm being on the Eighth Level Qi Refinement. You have great potential!"
He knows that I’m on the Eighth Level of Qi Refinement!
Can’t my Grandmaster Level Qi Concealment Technique block a Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s investigation?
Or could it be that Steward Miao from the Yu Ding Sword Sect told him?
Suddenly, Luo Chen thought of the extremely pure spiritual qi on his shoulder.
Damn it, how could I be so blind!
If others have placed their means on my body, no matter how well I hide myself, I’m still making up right under their eyes.
No matter how strange the makeup, they could easily see my true appearance.
With great difficulty, Luo Chen forced a smile and complimented while not meaning it, "Gang Leader, you truly have sharp eyes."
He didn’t mention his motive for concealing his realm.
Mi Shuhua didn’t ask either.
Some things are best left understood. No need to make a fuss.
If uncovered, it would be embarrassing for everyone involved.
Moreover, Mi Shuhua instead offered a huge temptation that shook Luo Chen’s heart even more.
"With your progress, within ten years you may have one foot in the threshold of the Foundation Establishment Realm. What plans do you have when it happens?"
Luo Chen was puzzled, what plans could he possibly have?
He could only desire to have a Foundation Establishment Pill!
Then, a Foundation Establishment Pill was placed right in front of Luo Chen.
