Chapter 172: Falling Cloud and Rising Smoke Technique,

Time Waits for No Man_2

The only solution to this problem is to attain the Foundation Establishment Stage, with a strong enough divine soul that can even release the spirit consciousness.

Only then can one repeatedly operate the Natal Qi Technique.

It is rumored that a high-order cultivator can spend months or even years in closed-door cultivation.

This is because they have overcome this problem.

For Luo Chen, he always was deeply troubled by it too.

Even if by luck he survived a Heart’s Test and his divine soul increased considerably, he was still stalled at operating this cultivation technique twice. But now he sees hope in solving this problem during the Qi Refinement Stage!

“If I persist in taking the Tongyou Pill, I expect I can soon operate the Longevity Technique multiple times within a day.”

Murmuring to himself, Luo Chen tidies up the Spirit Vein Cave.

He goes to the Pill Hall and puts the Purple Cloud Bronze Furnace back in its original pill room.

Then, he calmly retrieves a jade simple from his storage bag.

“Doi need to take an Oath of Dao?”

While holding the jade simple, Luo Chen takes a deep breath and speaks the words.

“I, Luo Chen!”

“Hereby vow!”

“Whether I learn it or not, I will not pass this Pill Refinement Technique onto a second person.”

“Regardless of intent or without meaning to, should it be leaked, I will suffer retribution from the Great Dao Path, and my realm will not progress an inch in my lifetime!”

After the emphatic voice fades off, the hazy spirit light wrapped around the jade simple slowly disappears.

At the same time, Luo Chen feels an unpleasant sensation.

It feels like something invisible looked at him for an instant.

“Is there really some concept of Heavenly Dao in this Immortal Cultivation World?”

Luo Chen mutters a sentence, then carefully examines the jade simple in his hand.

After confirming there is no trickery, he cautiously places the jade simple onto his forehead.

Immediately, a surge of information floods into his mind.

“Hmm…”

A grunt escapes him and Luo Chen’s face turns pale.

Yet he persists without putting down the jade simple.

Only after a long while, is he able to slowly remove the jade simple.

Rubbing his forehead, Luo Chen can’t help but show a bitter smile.

“Who would’ve thought that I almost got myself into trouble with unfounded assumptions!”

The huge amount of information in the jade simple just now, immersed his mind like a flood.

Ordinary Qi Refinement Cultivators wouldn’t have been able to resist it.

Usually, the elders of a sect would set corresponding prohibitions, and depending on the cultivator’s realm, they would only be able to access information up to that realm.

This is also why there are cultivation techniques available on the market that can be cultivated up to the middle stage of Qi Refinement or to the finalization stage of Qi Refinement.

This practice started quite a while ago.

If layered prohibitions aren’t set, low-level cultivators are suddenly impacted by a large flow of information.

At best, their divine soul would be damaged, and they would be weakened for months.

At worst, they would become foolish and stupid, turning into an utter idiot.

Because Luo Chen fabricated a Foundation Establishment Stage Pill Refiner friend out of thin air,

Tian Xingzi didn’t even think about it. To a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, this amount of information isn’t a big deal.

Naturally, he wouldn’t set any layered prohibitions.

If Luo Chen’s divine soul endowment wasn’t profound enough, he would’ve been driven into madness by such massive information from this Pill Refinement Technique.

Even though he managed to hold on, he still felt his head was spinning.

“Het my guard down…”

Taking a deep breath, Luo Chen goes to the Spirit Vein Cave.

Under the fragrant scent of the moonlight grass, his spirit gradually perks up.

He glances at the moonlight grass and shakes his head.

“Even though there is a large amount of Wood Spirit Qi drawn by the Spirit Gathering array, the time has been too short.”

“If it had a longer growth period, it would be much better.”

Massaging his temples, Luo Chen closes his eyes to mull over the contents of the jade simple.

After a while, he opens his eyes pensively.

“The Falling Cloud and Rising Smoke Technique.”

“This set of water techniques is indeed profound, it depends on external objects. It can not only refine pills but also improve the grade of elixir.”

According to the record of this water technique,

when refining the first-order spirit liquid, you can choose a place with steam to assist in pill formation.

If it’s a second-order spirit liquid, not only a place with steam must be chosen, but also a spirit spring can be used to double the effect.

By the time it’s a third-order spirit liquid, the assistance of a place with steam and a spirit spring is lessened.

At that point, it is better to select a place rich in water-affiliated spirit Qi and use a secret recipe and additional techniques to refine the third-order spirit liquid.

“It truly is a water technique for refining pills between the first and third orders, it’s just that refining the third-order spirit liquid feels a bit of a stretch.”

“But Emperor Liquor is only a second-order spirit liquid, more than enough.”

“Not only that but this technique also recorded two pill techniques, which is an unexpected joy.”

One is the Washing Brook Hand, and the other is the Cloud Transformation Hand.

The former is the pill technique that Luo Chen has been yearning for to handle water and Yin attributes.

With the Washing Brook Hand learned, regardless of whether it’s to process the snow fox demon blood from the Tongyou pill, or to deal with the cultivator’s essence blood and Netherworld Evil Qi from the Blood Evil Qi Pill, it can have twice the effect!

As for the latter, at first glance, it seems quite average.

Even in the world of Immortal Cultivation, it doesn’t stand out.

However, the Cloud Transformation Hand is the essence of this Falling Cloud and Rising Smoke Technique.

To transform steam and spirit springs into medicine, this pill technique is needed.

“From nowon, I’vegot a lot of work to do!”

Although he’s complaining, the smile on Luo Chen’s face is evident.

The longer he refines pills, the more complex his emotions get.

Repeatedly refining a certain kind of pill can make him bored.

But every time he comes across a new Dao of Alchemy knowledge, he’s extremely delighted.

But no matter what,

He is falling in love with this craft, not just using it as a means to survive.

In the following days, besides regular cultivation and studying the Fireball Technique, Luo Chen also spends a lot more time on pill refinement.𝒩eew updates 𝒂t n𝒐vel/bi𝒏(.)com
