Inside the Green Thatched Hut.
Two figures sat facing each other, while another person was chained through his collarbone and firmly locked to an iron frame.
The man was staring at the two figures with resentment.
With just a casual glance from Wang Yuan, he lowered his head in fear.
"You can't kill me!"
"My grandfather is Huo Quan, my master is an elder of the Flame Alliance, and I am a potential true disciple of the Flame Alliance."
"You..."
He stopped talking.
He remained silent under Wang Yuan's cold gaze.
Luo Chen watched this scene with a smile, showing no pity whatsoever.
He who kills will be killed.
Since they dared to attack them in the first place, they should have been prepared to be killed.
There is no reason in this world for people to simply wait to be slaughtered.
Luo Chen withdrew his gaze and looked intently at Wang Yuan.
"How has your research on the Blood Evil Spirit-Seizing Array been these past few years?"
Wang Yuan said, "Two years ago, I would have had some concerns. But in the past two years, with Min Longyu's help, I have completely perfected this formation, and even engraved it on my back."
"In this way, the process of seizing the spirit will be twice as effective with half the effort!"
Seeing his confidence, Luo Chen felt a little relieved.
However, just in case, he asked a few more questions.
"How much of the Spirit Communication Pill did you take?"
"I've consumed everything you sent," Wang Yuan said, pointing to his head. "I can feel that my Divine Soul Foundation has increased by nearly 30%. Even if the problem of Duan Qiankun's remnant soul reappears, I'm confident I can suppress it!"
In the past few years, Luo Chen has not only refined Jade Marrow Pill and Jade Dew Pill.
To improve his proficiency, he would occasionally refine the Spirit Communication Pill.
By now, he has already passed the Entry Level stage of Spirit Communication Pill and reached the Proficient Level. He is not far from Mastery level!
During this process, the numerous Low-grade Spirit Communication Pill he refined were of no use to him.
However, for cultivators who are still in the Qi Refining Stage, it can be considered a top-quality cultivation resource.
A small quantity of that batch of Spirit Communication Pill was supplied to Sima Hui Niang, Murong Qinglian, and others.
Most of them were sent to Wang Yuan.
Compared to Sima Hui Niang and others, Wang Yuan undoubtedly had a higher demand for Divine Soul Foundation.
The process of Blood Fiend Seizing Spirit involves the target's Essence Blood, foundation, and soul.
Every step required Wang Yuan to concentrate fully, demanding an extremely high level of mental and spiritual strength.
Back then, Little Huan Mountain's first attempt to seize the spirit failed.
This is certainly due to the solid foundation of the Duan Qiankun.
But wasn't it also due to Wang Yuan's eagerness for quick success and his own lack of foundation?
The Spirit Communication Pill can perfectly solve Wang Yuan's predicament!
However, he and Sima Hui Niang and the others all had one problem: after taking the Spirit Communication Pill, their Divine Soul Foundation would increase dramatically.
But unlike Luo Chen, they hadn't practiced the Soul Capturing Art.
Therefore, sufficient time is needed to slowly refine a superficial spirit.
Luo Chen had also tried to get Wang Yuan to practice the Soul Capturing Art, but unfortunately, the other party's talent in magic was indeed only average.
It took a very long time to even achieve a small degree of success with that initial Soul Binding Oath.
Therefore, he could only take one Spirit Communication Pill every now and then for the past two years.
Moreover, the effect becomes worse as time goes on.
However, since Wang Yuan is so confident now, Luo Chen should stop worrying unnecessarily.
"Alright, in that case, when do you plan to begin Foundation Establishment?"
Wang Yuan turned to the side, his gaze falling on Huo Hu.
His tone was chilling.
"You said it yourself, if not now, when? Let's do it today!"
Huo Hu, who was locked up, felt a tremor in his heart.
He had a bad feeling from their undisguised conversation.
Foundation building is fine, why are you looking at me?
Also, what exactly is the Blood Evil Spirit-Seizing Array for?
Luo Chen ignored him completely, staring solemnly at Wang Yuan.
"It's good that you're confident, but just in case, it's best if I stay by your side to keep an eye on things this time!"
Wang Yuan raised an eyebrow, his resolute gaze fixed intently on Luo Chen.
After a long pause, he slowly nodded.
"In that case, I'll have you protect me!"
What are you trying to do?
"You bastard!"
"No, no... I was wrong, please let me go! I'll have my family send Spirit Stone and Foundation Establishment Pill! Yes, I can get you Foundation Establishment Pill."
" Magic Treasure are also acceptable. My grandfather has a Primordial Yang Ruler, which is incredibly wondrous and possesses immense power..."
"Ah..."
" Wang Yuan, you will die a horrible death!"
A series of mournful howls echoed continuously from inside the thatched hut.
However, the two people inside remained unmoved, their faces expressionless.
Luo Chen frowned as he looked at the scene before him.
Wang Yuan sat cross-legged.
His upper body was bare, with muscles piled up and crisscrossing like coiled dragons.
A surge of rich blood energy erupted from the top of his head, forming a plume of Qi and Blood Wolf Smoke.
His entire skeleton was like white jade, so translucent it almost shone through his skin.
If that were all, it would be fine.
Ironically, on his back, on the muscles that undulate like writhing dragons, there is an ancient and simple array, as if crafted by nature itself.
This is the Blood Fiend Spirit-Seizing Array, which was modified from the Ghost God Valley Heavenly Craft Spirit-Seizing Array Blood Evil Spirit-Seizing Array.
After years of research by Wang Yuan, and further refinement by Min Longyu, it was finally engraved onto Wang Yuan's powerful body.
Only in this way can its greatest power be unleashed!
now!
As Wang Yuan circulated his Cultivation Method, the Qi and Blood Wolf Smoke suddenly curved and flowed into the array diagram on his back.
The array diagram visibly came to life!
[Based on the body, sourced from blood]
[Guide with Qi, seize with Soul]
" Blood Fiend Pill, emerge!"
With a low shout, streaks of blood-red silk spread out from the array, then wrapped around and devoured each other, growing Great Accomplishment, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into countless dense blood snakes.
Each blood snake was filled with a bloody and Baleful Qi, as if it wanted to devour its prey!
Wang Yuan had his back to Luo Chen.
As a result, the blood snakes noticed Luo Chen immediately.
For a fleeting moment, Luo Chen's soul trembled.
"This technique is far too insidious and harmful to the natural order! It is absolutely not a method for us cultivators to establish our foundation! Brother Wang, what kind of cultivation path have you chosen?!"
He murmured to himself.
The crimson snakes, baring their fangs and claws, flew out and headed towards Huo Hu was imprisoned in mid-air.
Under Huo Hu's horrified gaze, one small snake after another happily burrowed into his body.
It was as if something had been bitten.
"Ah..."
A scream came from Huo Hu.
But before he could even curse, he began to tremble violently.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!...
Within him, countless identical voices resounded.
His face grew increasingly pale, even deathly pale.
Suddenly!
A blood snake emerged from Huo Hu's body. Unlike its previous small size, it was now filled with a rich blood aura and its size had more than doubled.
It seems to have eaten its fill?
" Blood Fiend Pill, return!"
With a low shout, the blood snake, having eaten and drunk its fill, reluctantly returned to Wang Yuan's side.
He slowly entered the array behind him.
At that moment, Luo Chen sensed the change in Wang Yuan's aura.
He has already begun to break through the Qi Refining Great Perfection and is steadily advancing towards the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"Back!"
"Back!"
"Back!"
Blood snakes emerged from Huo Hu's body and then continuously returned to Wang Yuan's body.
His momentum grew stronger.
In contrast, Huo Hu's body grew increasingly thin.
He "floated" in the air, just like a thin "painting"!
Luo Chen swallowed hard, a sense of fear spreading from his very soul.
It seemed that if those blood snakes burrowed into his body, they would take everything away from him.
Cultivator's Essence Blood!
Bone and flesh essence!
The Great Dao Foundation!
and even...
"Soul Stealer!"
Wang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and two beams of blood-red light burst forth from them, landing directly on the "painting" in mid-air.
At this moment, the painting came to life!
A wisp of an identical ghost floated out of the painting.
At first glance, he looked completely bewildered.
Immediately, his face filled with resentment, he stared intently at Wang Yuan.
You will die a horrible death!
"No, I will live a good life." Wang Yuan smiled coldly, "Come, lend me your life to help me establish the Great Dao Foundation!"
Bloodshed recovery.
The wisp of a spirit struggled in terror, but it was still unable to stop what was about to happen.
As Huo Hu's soul was pulled into Wang Yuan's body...
A crimson light suddenly burst forth from Wang Yuan's back, transforming into a light curtain that completely enveloped Wang Yuan.
Not just one!
The number of blood snakes that appeared before was now matched by the number of rays of light that shone forth.
Layer upon layer, almost like silkworm silk, wrapped Wang Yuan up, eventually forming a giant cocoon.
At this point, the first step is complete.
This is just the first step!
Luo Chen took a deep breath, glanced at the huge blood-red cocoon, and then walked out the door.
He did not leave.
Instead, he took out a Storage Bag, and while wearing down the restrictions on it, he kept an eye on the changes inside the room.
"Last time, it took Brother Wang three whole months to completely seize Duan Qiankun's spirit."
"I wonder how long this will last?"
"However, it should go more smoothly than last time!"
On that occasion, Wang Yuan was only at the Qi Refining Stage Level 9, his Blood Evil Spirit-Seizing Array was extremely crude, and his Divine Soul Foundation was mediocre.
This time, thanks to his own efforts and Luo Chen's help, things have changed dramatically.
Moreover, the target of the spirit-stealing was not Duan Qiankun.
It was Huo Hu, who had only recently completed his Foundation Establishment!
In the past few years, under Wang Yuan's personal control, Huo Hu's cultivation level has not improved at all, remaining at the level it was at during the Battle of Gaoling Plain.
The two are also worlds apart.
We've already failed once.
This time, we must succeed!
The Blood Evil Spirit-Seizing Array only allows three attempts, and once you embark on this Blood Path Foundation Establishment journey, you cannot use other Foundation Building methods.
Wang Yuan could not afford the consequences of another failure.
Luo Chen didn't want to see that scene either.
"Let time tell!"
Luo Chen sighed, trying his best to erase the scenes from the Green Thatched Hut from his mind.
That's not the path a normal cultivator should take to establish their foundation.
One month later.
Beneath Danxia Peak.
Inside a medium-sized cave, Qu Lingjun was personally leading a group of people in Pill Refining.
His subordinates added the medicinal herbs for him and kept an eye on the fire.
What he had to do was rely on experience to judge the changes in the internal Medicinal Power.
Every now and then, spiritual energy must be injected to control the fusion and differentiation of the internal medicinal materials.
"Call!"
Qu Lingjun waved his hand, and the Divine Wood Cauldron shone brightly, from which more than thirty pills flew out.
At this moment, someone naturally came to collect the pills.
Looking at the thirty-odd pills, the young man, whose beard was already sprouting, remained expressionless.
This batch of Jade Marrow Pill used two sets of raw materials.
The final result was 25 of medium-grade and 11 of low-grade.
He left the Pill Room.
" Ling Jun, your Pill Refinement Art are becoming increasingly remarkable!"
The words of praise came from a woman with a dignified air and a smiling face.
It's Sima Hui Niang!
Qu Lingjun shook his head. "President, you flatter me."
"It's nothing. My master consistently produces high-quality pills, and they're all top-grade. Compared to him, I'm nothing but a firefly compared to the moon."
"I still have a long way to go!"
Sima Hui Niang smiled gently, " The Chairman Master is an unparalleled Pill Dao Genius, why bother comparing yourself to him? In my opinion, you are already very capable."
indeed!
Qu Lingjun's Pill Refinement Art are now truly impressive.
The large quantity of Mid-Grade Jade Marrow Pill pills produced can provide Luo Tian Association with a profit of several thousand Spirit Stone every month.
He's only in his early twenties.
It's hard to imagine how far the other party can grow in the future.
" The Chairman has a keen eye for talent, Entry Level when he was so young."
Qu Lingjun shook his head.
He wasn't comparing himself to his master; that would be far too disrespectful.
He takes his master as his guide.
In life, one needs a correct direction to move forward faster and more steadily.
"By the way, President, is there something you need at the Pill Hall?"
"It's nothing serious, we just wanted to check on how your Pill Refining is going and if there's anything we can help you with in your daily life."
Sima Hui Niang said gently, "Since your master is not here, I must take care of you."
"I'm fine."
As Qu Lingjun spoke, his gaze fell upon another Pill Room.
The door opened.
A graceful figure emerged, as delicate as a willow swaying in the breeze.
He quickly stepped forward.
"Sister Mi Li, how's today?"
Mi Li smiled slightly.
"Fortunately, we managed to make seven All Wonders Pill; a small success."
Qu Lingjun was overjoyed.
"It seems your Pill Refinement Art have improved as well!"
"Thanks to the Chairman for giving me the Detailed Guide to Refining the All Wonders Pill, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to progress so quickly."
beside.
Seeing the lively conversation between the man and woman, Sima Hui Niang couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle.
"Looks like today is a day of double happiness."
"Besides our Chairman, two more rising stars have emerged in the Alchemy Dao in our Luo Tian Association!"
The Mi Li seemed a little embarrassed.
Qu Lingjun scratched his head and chuckled foolishly.
He asked curiously, "By the way, is my master in seclusion again? I haven't seen him for the past month."
Sima Hui Niang shook her head.
She knew where Luo Chen was and what he was doing.
But there's no need to tell anyone else about these things.
I'm here today just to make a routine visit and offer my condolences.
Since they have no further needs, they can leave; she still has many things to take care of.
Just as she was about to leave, her expression changed slightly.
Then, it flew out, landed on the ground, and looked up at the summit of Danxia Peak.
There.
A powerful momentum is slowly rising.
Sima Hui Niang's face lit up with surprise.
She was no stranger to this kind of aura.
Although we had very little contact, it was definitely Wang Yuan's.
"From now on, my Luo Tian Association have three Foundation Establishment cultivators!"
It wasn't just her!
At this moment, all the cultivators of the Luo Tian Association noticed the commotion coming from the summit of Danxia Peak.
Countless Evasive Light emerged from the mountains, gazing towards the distant sky.
