Even after taking a hard hit, Luo Chen still managed to squeeze out a carefree smile. In front of countless rogue cultivators in The Great River District, he maintained a suave and carefree demeanor.
This merit can be attributed to the Ming God’s Divine Cleanse!
There’s not much to say about the Technique column.
He has recently acquired three new Techniques. Earth Rock Technique and Wave Technique were prepared for his upcoming second-order Technique, Collapse.
The Sound Isolation Technique was chosen from a pile of spoils of war, not for its power but for its practicality!
However, the Healing Technique has been progressing quite rapidly.
Benefiting from his own injuries, he casts the Technique on himself whenever he can.
"Eh? The Spirit Vision Technique is about to be perfected?"
Luo Chen’s gaze had initially slid down the column to the Pill Technique, but it quickly jumped back.
[Spirit Vision Technique Grandmaster 980/1000]
"I’m only 20 proficiency points away..."
Luo Chen stroked his chin, on which stubble had reappeared after a few days of isolation. He grazed his rough skin, feeling the itch.
Much like his current mood.
"When I broke through to the Grandmaster level, I witnessed a scene of roots taking hold in my eyes."
"Wouldn’t it be quite something if I could perfect it?"
Of course, the effects that come with perfecting a Technique might not necessarily bring a qualitative improvement.
For example, the Perfect Traction Technique merely puts Luo Chen ahead in using a set of magical tools.
But when it comes to individual tools, the improvement from being at the grandmaster level isn’t too significant, only increasing a part of the tool control range.
"Perhaps, it’s related to my physical constitution?"
Luo Chen thought of the Runming Pearl Liquid.
The total amount of Runming Pearl Liquid he acquired was around six bottles.
All of it has been used up, but no special effects like the rumored "Seeing through the Nine You" manifested.
He guesses that he hadn’t acquired enough of it.
Alternatively, the Yu Ding Sword Sect might have kept the best for themselves and sold an inferior quality of Runming Pearl Liquid to outsiders.
So, Qing Yuanzi’s comment on the liquid’s effectiveness for Pill Refiners might only hold true when the Yu Ding Sword Sect provides the genuine product.
"Let’s not think about it for now. Let’s focus on the prefecting it first."
As he scrolls further down the attribute column, the Pill Technique section causes Luo Chen to purse his lips.
With just the Breaking Jade Hand and Simplicity Hand Techniques in pill refinement, he indeed had too few Techniques.
If only he could learn the rumored pill refinement Techniques mentioned in the "Qingyuan Pill Explanation".
"Rumors have it that the Washing Brook Hand is extremely effective in handling Water attributed Spirit Materials and all kinds of liquid Spirit Materials."
"If I could learn it, it would be like a tiger growing wings. I would even dare to directly refine the Blood Evil Qi Pill."
The main ingredients for Blood Evil Qi Pill are Netherworld Evil Qi, Cultivator’s Essence Blood, and Purple River Carriage.
Both Netherworld Evil Qi and Essence Blood can be considered as Water attributed Spirit Materials or liquid Spirit Materials.
The main reason Luo Chen did not dare to start was that he had absolutely no confidence in handling the main ingredients in the refining process.
If it were a beginner’s Pill Formula, it would be fine. But this is a second-order Pill Formula, which doesn’t belong to his corresponding realm.
The system allows beginners to start; however, it also takes into consideration his current conditions.
If his conditions don’t meet the requirements, more Achievement Points will be consumed.
Therefore, Luo Chen had been longing for the Washing Brook Hand Technique.
"Washing Brook Hand, Qi Harvesting Technique, God Fusion Technique... I wonder when I will acquire these marvelous Pill Techniques!"
Now is the time for fantasizing!
After the fantasy, Luo Chen smirked, almost thinking that after breaking through his bottleneck, he was unstable, being affected by his Heart Demon.
Phooey, a lower-order cultivator wouldn’t have so many Heart Demons!
Taking a glance at the Martial and Skill columns, Luo Chen finally turned to the Achievement Points.
He murmured to himself:
"34 points, I wonder if that’s enough to start with a second-order Pill Formula."
