Looking at the infant speaking human words, Luo Chen’s pupils contracted.
The Nascent Soul of a cultivator is something that returns to the innate from the acquired, most pure and untouched, thus often chubby and adorable!
Even for the elderly, the formed Nascent Soul bears a certain hint of childishness.
But such a grotesque and terrifying Nascent Soul truly made him furl his brows involuntarily.
He knew this was caused by the other’s cultivation of a special technique.
Moreover, it was a very powerful special cultivation technique, which led to such changes.
Common techniques at most affect the cultivator’s physique and appearance.
Like Luo Chen, when he had a sudden enlightenment on Heaven and Earth Peak, created the "Withering and Flourishing Dao Scripture," and made his Nascent Soul appear aged, but in reality, there was no internal change.
Such as Jiuling Yuanjun, full of tumors, resembling a monster...
After carefully inspecting the nine lumps, Luo Chen finally understood the reason why the opponent’s Qi Power was vast and different from ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
Each lump was almost pure solidified Qi Power!
The combined Qi Power in the nine lumps even exceeded that of the Nascent Soul itself!
Seeing this, Luo Chen also understood why the other was so eager for the Nine Li Pill.
It was as if someone trained under heavy weight, striving to enhance their power limit, Jiuling Yuanjun extended his Qi Power limit horizontally by forming nine external lumps, thus obtaining imposing Qi Power far beyond others of the same order.
But if the weight one bears exceeds their limit, not only will it fail to improve oneself, it will become a burden, even causing backlash.
At this moment, the Qi Power contained in Jiuling Yuanjun’s nine lumps had already exceeded the Nascent Soul itself!
Continuing in this manner, either the Nascent Soul would be unable to bear its weight, or be assimilated into the lumps, with no future chance for Nascent Soul Transformation!
"If I truly help him refine the Nine Li Pill, splitting the nine lumps, due to originating from the same source, these nine lumps not only will cease to affect him but will become his nine reserves of Qi Power."
"If there’s a following advancement method, its limit is even unimaginable!"
"Once achieving the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, Jiuling Yuanjun’s Qi Power might instantly surpass those veteran Great Cultivators!"
Understanding all this, Luo Chen couldn’t help but develop some curiosity towards the Jiuling Sect’s cultivation technique.
Just what kind of secret technique could incorporate the extreme Nine Heavens Spirit Essence into the body, transforming them into attachments on the Nascent Soul?
Nine Heavens Spirit Essence is Sky Qi!
Such substance is extremely domineering, even Luo Chen dared not let his Nascent Soul be contaminated by it, only refining it and letting the immensely strong Yuan Tu Sword bear it.
No wonder Jiuling Yuanjun knew Sky Qi so well, his whole cultivation involved such extreme materials!
Yet curiosity was merely curiosity.
Entrusted by someone, one must be loyal to their duty; Luo Chen could not investigate deeply, else his reputation as the Alchemy Sect might not last a few days.
Clearing his throat, Luo Chen broke the silence.
"Taking Nascent Soul Essence Blood may be somewhat painful, you need to endure for a moment."
Jiuling Yuanjun calmly said, "Go ahead and do it!"
Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, not delaying further.
With a flick of the hand, a crystal-clear, seemingly transparent small knife appeared in his hand.
It was that small knife made entirely from the Tongxuan Sky Crystal, the very same used before to cut the Five Elements Lotus Stand.
Upon the appearance of this knife, Jiuling Yuanjun’s Nascent Soul instinctively showed vigilance.
The Nascent Soul of a cultivator is where the Dao Fruit resides, how could it let someone wield a blade upon it?
Luo Chen did not rush to act, merely presenting the knife slowly.
He needed to build his reputation as the Alchemy Sect, inevitably encountering many people’s secrets.
For instance, the great demon of the White Crane Gate, whose transformation was unsuccessful.
Like who in Shen Fu Sect would be rushing the Nascent Soul realm, or Elder Fu holding a Nascent Soul Pill Prescription.
And similarly now, Jiuling Yuanjun’s predicament and potential future achievement.
Once his reputation grows, more people will seek his pill refinement, perhaps he’ll learn of someone with hidden ailments, others practicing secret techniques using elixirs, and so on.
In such cases, he must act like a doctor, being a "harmless" person.
I know your hidden ailment, and others’ secrets, yet my credibility is here, you all can be at ease with me, at least when seeking pills, must face openly!
If I actually seize the chance to harm someone, then all the hard-earned reputation accumulated before would entirely ruin.
Even with the ability of the Alchemy Sect, none would acknowledge, none come close again.
As the Sky Crystal small knife was about to touch the body, Nascent Soul Small People’s eyes widened, yet ultimately made no resisting move.
He chose to trust Luo Chen. Get full chapters from 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝘯𝘦𝘵
Or rather, he chose to trust his own judgment, Luo Chen now needed that reputation!
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Jiuling Yuanjun, amidst inner and outer troubles, is treating the dead horse as a living horse to heal.
Anyways, Luo Chen’s small knife finally landed on one of the lumps of the Nascent Soul Small People.
Nascent Soul is the product from the unification of Essence Qi, Spirit, and Divine Soul.
To outsiders, it is known for its expansive power.
In reality, it also contains the cultivator’s essence blood and power of divine soul.
Therefore, the Nascent Soul is so unique, considered as the cultivator’s second life.
Luo Chen taking Nascent Soul Essence Blood effectively means slicing its flesh, extracting its Nascent Soul power.
For him, it was the first time, yet not unfamiliar.
Years ago at Cangwu Mountain, when refining the Transforming Pill for the Demon Clan, the most crucial main ingredient was Nascent Soul Essence Blood.
