“Otherwise, why would I have hidden outside for so long, not seeing you for almost a month.”
So you kept a count too!
Luo Chen sighed, then pulled out a beast skin with great care and handed it to the other party.
“What is this?” Wang Yuan asked curiously.
“Inject a strand of Spirit Power.”
Wang Yuan did as he was told, and a look of surprise appeared on his face the next moment.
“Concealment Breath Mantra?”
“There is such a marvelous technique to conceal breath!”
“Wait, this isn’t Chen…”
“Correct, It’s the Concealing Qi talisman that Chen Xiuping sells the best. That Concealing Qi talisman also comes from this technique, but it has to be practiced to a small degree of accomplishment before it has any effect.”
Luo Chen shook his head, he didn’t want Wang Yuan to become a demonic or blood cultivator that everyone despised.
But the strong scent of blood on the other’s body was too noticeable.
So, he gave the Concealment Breath Mantra, gifted by Chen Xiuping, to Wang Yuan.
There was nothing inappropriate about this.
According to Elder Chen’s character, after giving it to Luo Chen, it meant he could do whatever he wanted with it.
And Wang Yuan and Elder Chen, do have some mutual affection.
Wang Yuan read the technique on the beast skin earnestly, an expression of admiration occasionally appearing on his face.
After a long time, he finally put down the beast skin.
“I was regretting before, if Chen Xiuping hadn’t left, I would’ve bought a few
Concealing Qi talismans, which could cover some things.”
“I didn’t expect him to give you the original method.”
“So, I owe you and him each a favor.”
Luo Chen smirked, “Don’t mention it, we’re friends after all. And mastering this Concealment Breath Mantra isn’t that easy, listen carefully…”
Luo Chen has practiced the Concealment Breath Mantra for a long time.
He’s even managed to reach the Finalization Level. Even when approaching a second order demon wolf within a hundred meters, the latter remains completely unaware.
It can be said that Luo Chen has far surpassed Chen Xiuping in this technique, reaching the peak.
It’s not only about concealing, he can even imitate the breath of others.
He can easily share some of his understanding of the technique.
The next series of instructions Luo Chen gave aloud were promptly practiced by Wang Yuan.
In the beginning, you form a Spirit Power Seed to conceal the fluctuations of Spirit Power and the scent of blood on your body.
During the middle stage, you need to start increasing the number of Spirit Power Seeds.
However, by the later period, you don’t pursue quantity anymore, and instead focus on using your dantian as the foundation to actively control your own state.
By now, you can say that you’ve reached Completion Stage.
If you refer to the Proficiency panel, it’s probably at the grandmaster level.
As for the Finalization level, Luo Chen didn’t hold much expectation for Wang Yuan.
In fact, as long as Wang Yuan cultivated to a small degree of accomplishment without making a move, it would be enough.
The Concealing Qi talisman that Chen Xiuping made initially was also of this standard, able to hide even from a first-order demon beast.
Wang Yuan listened very carefully, occasionally practicing the technique himself.
Occasionally, there would be a loud boom in his body as the formation of a Spirit Power Seed failed. He did not seem to care about this, pressing a few acupoints with his thumb and moving on.
This made Luo Chen’s eyelids twitch uncontrollably.
“Brother Wang, just how strong has your body become now!”
When he was cultivating back then, he had to be very careful.
Forming a Spirit Power Seed outside the dantian is quite dangerous.
If it fails, the consequences can be severe, resulting in the damaging of meridians at worst and internal bleeding at least.
However, Wang Yuan didn’t seem to feel anything at all, with his face showing no change.
Upon hearing Luo Chen’s question, Wang Yuan said casually: “The transformation from diamond to white jade has ended. According to the standards of the Ancient Body Refiners, my body is now at the second stage.”
Seeing Luo Chen still looking confused, he looked up at him.
“Compared to Qi Refinement, I’m currently in my early stage Foundation Establishment.”
Early stage Foundation Establishment!
Luo Chen’s eyes widen up, “You must be kidding right!”
“Huh?”
After thinking for a bit, Wang Yuan could roughly guess what Luo Chen meant and tried to explain earnestly:
“Body refinement also has relatively detailed realm divisions: Body Like Vajra, Ice Skin Jade Bones, The Body Becomes a Furnace, which corresponds with Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core.”
“We encountered Steward Miao at the headquarters of the Broken Mountain Gang, didn’t he see my progress at a glance?”
Recalling the past,
Luo Chen vaguely remembered Miao Wen indeed saying, “What a good seedling, looking at his body, from diamond turning into white jade, he must be on the verge of Foundation Establishment!”
In other words, after the battle at Qingjiang Street,
Did Wang Yuan fully transition from Diamond to White Jade, acquiring a physical body comparable to Early Stage Foundation Establishment?
This news shocked Luo Chen quite a bit,
Unconsciously, a friend beside him became comparable to Foundation Establishment?
Coming back to his senses, he couldn’t help but ask:
“Does that mean, you possess the combat capability of the early stage Foundation Establishment?”
If that’s the case, Luo Chen would truly have a reliable backer.
Moreover, it won’t be like with Mi Shuhua or Miao Wen, who coveted his Pill Refinement Technique!
Because, Wang Yuan really treats him well.
He’s not quite a brother, but still very much like one from a different mother.
However, Wang Yuan splashed cold water on his expectations.
“Do you think the sword of Foundation Establishment isn’t sharp?”
“Um…”
Wang Yuan shook his head and put down the beast skin in his hand.
“Times have changed too quickly, the resources of the Eastern Wilderness Immortal World are incredibly abundant.”
“Those Foundation Establishment cultivators, have at least one or two top-grade magic tools. The wealthy ones can even afford magic items.”
“Coupled with their ability to release Spirit Consciousness and Foundation Establishment True Flame, my physique is nothing in comparison.”
Luo Chen still found it hard to accept.
He asked incredulously, “Then what’s the use of being a Body Refiner? You’re theoretically at Foundation Establishment, but your combat power isn’t as strong and you can’t achieve longevity..”
