“There’s no need.”
“Really no need?”
In the stone chamber, one person was sitting cross-legged on the bed while another was standing at the foot of the bed with his hands behind his back.
Cough… cough…
Receiving Wang Yuan’s sentimental gaze, Luo Chen couldn’t help coughing a few times.
He said softly, “You once told me that a man should be flexible but also rigid, not losing his heroic spirit. However, when faced with real choices, one must stick to his core. Otherwise, if the will is compromised, once the back is bent, it will be unable to straighten for the rest of one’s life.
“I know, the battle yesterday was not a necessary choice.”
“But I’m afraid when the real choice comes, I will habitually calculate, weigh the pros and cons, and eventually miss out, losing my true self.”
Hearing these deep words, Wang Yuan was taken aback.
It seemed like Luo Chen was implying something.
What did he go through during the time he wasn’t around?
Luo Chen didn’t give him time to think too much, he simply offered a forced smile.
“After all, someone has to take the first blow from the Talisman Treasure.”
“I can handle that.” Wang Yuan stated firmly.
“Would you get hurt then? I’m afraid it’s more than just getting hurt, you would unnecessarily expose your Path of Blood Technique, attracting the attention of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator!”
Wang Yuan hesitated.
Luo Chen gently laughed, shaking his head, “That’s it then, you’d get hurt if you take the blow, I’d be hurt too if I take it, what’s the difference!”
“Besides, I’m not rashly acting on hot blood.”
Indeed!
Both Luo Chen and Wang Yuan were very clear about the Fu Family having the information about the Talisman Treasure.
If one can rank among the Foundation Establishment Families, they must naturally possess Foundation Establishment techniques.
The Talisman Treasure, with almost a third of the power of the magic item sealed inside it, can be considered as a super weapon for those below the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Since deciding to target the Fu Family, both Luo Chen and Wang Yuan had made various plans to deal with the Talisman Treasure.
The moment the huge shadow of the hammer materialized, Luo Chen knew his plans had not been made in vain.
“In the end, the one who activated the Talisman Treasure was just a Ninth
Level Qi Refinement Cultivator.”
“Especially after he was worn down by Duan Feng and other rogue cultivators, draining most of his spirit power. After a fierce battle, the so-called near one-third of the magic item power of the Talisman Treasure would have greatly diminished.”
“But I am different. I already hold a top-grade magic tool in my hand, and the Fierce Sun Technique is ready to launch.”
“What do I have to fear!”
Wang Yuan nodded, agreeing with this statement based on his battle experience.
The Talisman Treasure, although it’s a talisman, it’s not exactly like a talisman. Generally, a talisman seals a certain amount of spirit power, then after being activated, the technique inside it will display a corresponding amount of power.
This is fixed.
Regardless of whether the cultivator is at his peak or at his lowest, once the talisman is activated, it can fully unleash its potential power.
But the Talisman Treasure is different!
What is sealed inside is the power of a magic item.
So the question is, how should the power of a magic item be calculated?
What would be its greatest power?
Well, that depends on the person!
The Fu family ancestor who created the Talisman Treasure, if he was a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, certainly wouldn’t be able to seal much power of the magic item inside it.
If it were a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, then it would be a different story. However, as Luo Chen learned from Sima Xian, and early on from Sikong Shoujia and others, the Fu family ancestors never reached the Golden Core Stage.
Their ancestors were not wealthy.
Even before the Foundation Establishment Stage Ancestor passed away, he emptied the Foundation Establishment Pills in Tian Lan Immortal City to support the future development of the Fu family’s Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.
It was because of this, the Fu family decided to migrate to The Great River District.
Therefore, the Heritage Talisman from the Fu Family, at most, only contains the power of a magic item sealed by a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator who was barely able to do so.
Moreover, after activating the Talisman Treasure, the cultivator himself needs to control it since it’s just a phantom shadow of the magic item.
If it were Fu Zhang at his peak, he would pose a threat to Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Unfortunately, he was not at his peak then.
Plus, with Luo Chen ready to strike, and also having the Second Order
Technique “Fierce Sun Technique”.
That’s why Wang Yuan dared to let Luo Chen do as he pleased.
In the end, with the obliteration of Fu Zhang and Luo Chen being slightly injured as the cost, they declared success.
Wang Yuan remarked sentimentally, “After this battle, you now have a place among Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators in The Great River District.”
“Haha, didn’t I have a place already?”
“Uh, I meant fighting strength, not the ability to earn Spirit Stones.”
Luo Chen shrugged, “Alright, let’s leave it at that. In the next couple of days, I will use recuperation as an excuse to avoid some people. You help me keep an eye on the Luo Tian Creed and, together with Murong Qinglian, check the gains and losses of this battle.”
“You know my character. For the families of some of the cultivators who died in the battle… if there are any, be sure to provide them with some relief!”
“The Jade Marrow Pills that were refined can also be sold now. Let Gu Caiyi and
Zeng Wen handle this.”
Luo Chen issued detailed and comprehensive instructions in a flurry.
He neatly organized every task of Luo Tian Creed.
Listening to all this made Wang Yuan’s head throb with the onslaught of information.
After a while, he shook his head, “You should rest up and recover as soon as possible. I’m tired of dealing with all these matters.”
After saying this, he left the stone chamber.
It was only after his departure that Luo Chen, pressing his chest, coughed heavily several times.
Exterior wounds were one thing, but the internal injuries would probably require some time to heal.
However, these are just physical injuries and shouldn’t hinder his cultivation much.
“Good, I can take this time to focus on my cultivation.”
Taking comfort in the midst of hardship, Luo Chen activated the array and quietly descended into the Spirit Vein Cave.
Familiar place, familiar environment.
Looking at the increasingly transparent piece of Spirit Stone Ore, Luo Chen furrowed his brows.
The spiritual power here is becoming thinner..”
