Translator: 549690339
On the way back to the Inner City, there were people coming and going.
Two bodyguards followed behind, matching Luo Chen’s pace exactly, fully dedicated to ensuring his safety.
That previous encounter had them holding their breaths, a tension stuck in their throats.
Unknown to them, Luo Chen, who walked ahead with an air of confidence, had finally exhaled a sigh of relief in his heart.
The sword that hung over his head had loosened by an inch today!
Today’s meeting with Gao Tingyuan was unexpected, yet within reasoning.
As soon as Luo Chen planned to send off Fu Xiuxiu, Elder Chen and the others, he had foreseen this and had already prepared several contingency plans in secret.
From his demeanor, to the tone of his speech, and when to be soft and when to be firm.
Everything was seemingly full of flaws, yet it all made sense!
When he first learned from Wang Yuan that Gao Tingyuan had injured his Dantian and that his Sea of Qi had been ruptured, he knew this day would eventually come.
But he didn’t want his encounter with the other man to be under circumstances of desperation.
Thus, today’s bold move, akin to walking into a tiger’s den, was made.
Although it seemed that he was invited up there, wasn’t it also Luo Chen who actively went?
Of course, Luo Chen had never directly communicated with Gao Tingyuan before, so he was not clear about the other man’s character.
Even though he occasionally got some information about him from others.
He was unsure whether his character had become extreme after being cut off from his path.
Therefore, for today’s journey, he prepared several backup plans.
First, before coming to Lancang Wharf, he pretended to casually report to Sikong Shou Jia.contemporary romance
If Shou Jia knew, it also meant that Mi Shuhua, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, knew.
Given his current status as a treasure in Mi Shuhua’s heart, the latter would absolutely not tolerate any mistakes on his part.
Even if Gao Tingyuan forcibly grabbed him, Mi Shuhua would certainly step in and protect him.
Second, as soon as he arrived at this place, he visited Wang Yuan.
If Gao Tingyuan took action regardless of their location at Qingjiang Tavern, Wang Yuan would arrive quickly.
Luo Chen had a somewhat “blind” trust in his big brother.
None in the Great River District could compete with Wang Yuan’s dual cultivation of magic and body, unless there was a Foundation Establishment.
On the Dao Debate Platform Sky Pride List, the name of the “First in Qi Refinement” in the Great River District still belonged to Wang Yuan.
Of course, Luo Chen was not completely dependent on others for his hopes. After many encounters with Qin Liangchen, he had become very familiar with the offensive methods of Late Stage Qi Refinement Cultivators.
If he were to constantly guard himself, even if the opponent attacked abruptly, he’s confident he could stay alive temporarily.
He may lack the force in his offensive abilities, only having his Finalization Fireball Technique as a front.
But when it comes to escape?
If Luo Chen claimed to be the first, other Qi Refinement Cultivators dared not claim second.
Grandmaster Level Carefree Wandering, Grandmaster Level Wind Riding Technique, coupled with Ascendant Grade Magic Tool Cloud-Stepping Boots.
If he wanted to leave, Gao Tingyuan would never be able to stop him.
Only after considering all factors, he dared to accept the invitation.
He did his best to bluff his way through the issue of their initial conflict.
As for whether Gao Tingyuan would actually believe it, Luo Chen didn’t care.
Simply put, he was no longer the unaccompanied small Rogue Cultivator of the past.
He was the Hall Master of one of the Nine Halls of the Broken Mountain Gang, the Pill Hall.
In the future, he would bring endless profits to the Broken Mountain Gang. Even now, the Broken Mountain Gang had invested many resources into him. Whoever dared to move against him before these resource costs were recouped, would be antagonizing Mi Shuhua and enemy of the Broken Mountain Gang!
“Having an organization now, even walking feels different for me!”
At the city gate, Luo Chen waved goodbye to the two bodyguards with a smile.
They should be in a hurry to see Mi Shuhua to report today’s events in full! Hurry up!
This kind of issue requires a big fish to handle the aftermath, so he can truly be at ease.
“The Gao brothers?”
After repeating the name, Mi Shuhua casually asked, “Based on your judgement, did Luo Chen do it?”
Upon remembering the mouthful of alcohol that Luo Chen spat out, Liu Qiang hesitated a bit.
Zhou Yuanli had already spoken, “That’s not important.”
“Hehe, yeah, that’s not important. It’s just the life and death of a middle-stage Qi Refinement Cultivator.” Mi Shuhua smirked slightly, sipping his hot tea slowly.
After swallowing the Spirit Tea, he frowned again.
“But such a thing, it’s best not to happen again.”
He had made up his mind, he had to give Wang Haichao a heads up, to get him to manage his subordinates well.
The two gangs had caused such a fuss before, and now their relationship had finally eased.
He had obtained a waterway, but he was not just taking without giving, he had reached some other cooperation with Wang Haichao.
In the future, the two gangs might grow even closer.
If Gao Tingyuan were to disrupt his source of wealth, it wouldn’t look good on anyone’s face.
“You two, be more diligent in your protective duties.”
“This is a Sound Transmission Jade Pendant. I have left part of my Spirit Consciousness in it. If you encounter an enemy you cannot resist, immediately stimulate it to notify me.”
“Luo Chen, there can be no failure!”
Zhou Yuanli nodded heavily, receiving the jade pendant with great care.
After closing the door, he boiled spring water to make a pot of bitter tea.
Luo Chen, relaxed, sat down at his desk and took out something Elder Chen had given him at their parting.
A piece of gauze, pale gray and transparent, light as nothing.
If not inspected closely, it would even make one unaware of its existence.
“That stingy old man actually gave me a farewell gift in the end.”
“Let’s see what it is.”
Luo Chen laughed and unfolded the gauze. It was plain and unremarkable, except for some strange patterns.
It somewhat looked like the characters on a talisman, yet there was something off about it.
“A talisman painted on cloth?”
Luo Chen found it strange and unconsciously infused a bit of spirit power into it.
Under the stimulation of spirit power, the strange patterns began to wriggle slowly like earthworms.
At the same time, a cultivation method of manipulating Spirit Power appeared before his eyes.
Surprised, Luo Chen examined it carefully.
About half an hour later, Luo Chen put down the gray gauze with a complex expression.
“Friend Chen, you have given me the tools to earn my living.”
The gauze contained a technique called the Concealing Breath Mantra.
Once mastered, it allows a cultivator to conceal his or her own aura.
This Aura is not only the scent of a human body but also the vigorous vitality and fluctuations of Spirit Power.
If one can reach the completion stage, they can even freely adjust Spirit Power fluctuations, hiding their own realm of cultivation.
This kind of concealment is so profound that unless other cultivators have a significantly higher realm, they will not be able to see through it.
Even if cultivators from the same realm use the Spirit Vision Technique, they cannot detect one’s specific realm based on the fluctuations of Spirit Power.
It can be said that if the Concealing Breath Mantra is mastered, it is extremely convenient both in daily interactions with others and in exploring mountains and rivers.
Luo Chen was not unfamiliar with this technique.
This is because the Concealing Qi Talisman that Elder Chen sells regularly is derived from this technique.
It’s just that Elder Chen’s talent for techniques is mediocre, and years of hard practice only allowed him to reach the small accomplishment stage.
As a result, the Concealing Qi Talismans he drew could only conceal one’s vitality, scent, and a small amount of Spirit Power fluctuations.
If Elder Chen could reach the Completion stage of Concealing Breath Mantra, then the selling price of the Concealing Qi Talismans he drew could at least be doubled!
He may be untalented, but Luo Chen’s talent for techniques was pretty good.
He had learned several first-order techniques solely reliant on his own understanding, without making use of Achievement Points.
Moreover, he had the assistance of the System.
Luo Chen was completely capable of training this Concealing Breath Mantra to the Completion stage, and even exceed its original effectiveness!
“This is indeed a great gift, it was not in vain that the Zhong Ding Family invited you to that meal.”
Luo Chen smirked, unfolding the gray gauze again.
He committed the techniques above to memory, repeating them over and over in his mind.
Once he had fully memorized them, he began to apply them.
“First, a spirit power seed must be established outside of the Dantian….. “
