Late at night.
Luo Chen returned to the Sky Wave Peak cave estate.
Bai Mei Ling had already prepared dinner for him.
Sima Hui Niang had specifically sent someone to purchase Tier 2 Demon Beast meat and high-quality Tier 2 spirit rice for him. Even the side dishes were vegetables imbued with spiritual qi.
In the past, Luo Chen had been busy cultivating and refining pills, often leaving him with no time for dinner.
He only ate one meal a day.
When he became especially busy, he barely ate or drank at all. After establishing their foundation, cultivators could already subsist on qi and feast on rosy clouds, fasting with ease.
But now, Luo Chen needed to return to a normal diet.
At least for the immediate future, he had to do so.
The Ghost God Heart Questioning Mirror's simulation had greatly damaged his primordial qi and depleted him excessively.
The aftereffects were severe.
When he went out to attend the auction today, he had already sensed that something was wrong.
His thoughts were too scattered, and he could not rein in his emotions at will.
Whenever something happened, he was easily startled and alarmed, his emotions rising and falling wildly.
Especially when he faced the Golden Core Immortal at the end, he had been unable to withstand even a trace of pressure.
"This is no good condition. I have to nurse myself back to health."
After cleaning his plate, Luo Chen asked Bai Mei Ling about her research into the Soul Gathering Banner.
Upon learning that she had made no progress, he entered the quiet chamber.
Not to cultivate.
In his current state, cultivation was unsuitable as well.
Taking out a jade pendant, Luo Chen rubbed it thoughtfully.
Heartless Immortal's demand was extraordinarily harsh for an ordinary Pill Refiner.
