Ever since he had begun cultivating.
Luo Chen had explored countless ways to increase his cultivation speed.
Improving his own capabilities and improving the external resources that aided him each required its own careful study.
After reaching Foundation Establishment, he had noticed something early on.
A Spirit Land now did more for his cultivation than an ordinary Low-Grade Pill.
Taken on its own.
If the spiritual energy gained from one Low-Grade Rising Dragon Pill counted as one unit.
Then a day's cultivation in a Tier 2 High-Grade Cave Mansion yielded four, perhaps even five units!
The difference was terrifying.
That was why it had seemed perfectly reasonable to him that the Fallen Cloud Sect would provoke the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect despite the enormous gap in their strength.
There was only one Fourth-Order Spiritual Land in the Jade Cauldron Domain.
If the Fallen Cloud Sect's supreme elder wanted to advance further along the Great Dao, a mere Third-Order Spirit Land could never satisfy him.

Inside him, the High-Grade Blood Fiend Pill suddenly unleashed terrifying Medicinal Power.
That power held both life and death. As if linked directly to the mysteries
