#885 - Can you win?
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
The sword light and the flying sword kept colliding, making loud noises.
The entire Alchemy Square began to tremble violently.
The disciples around him all retreated, fearing that they would be affected.
"Luo Qingchen, was able to fight Brother Wang Teng to a draw?"
"This...this is too incredible!"
"Is he really a Jindan-stage cultivator?"
…
Everyone was extremely shocked watching the fight between Luo Qingchen and Wang Teng.
They could never have imagined that Luo Qingchen, a Jindan-stage cultivator, could actually fight a Yuanying-stage cultivator to a draw.
"This kid is really not simple."
Yuan Tiangang stood in the distance, watching the fight between Luo Qingchen and Wang Teng, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Master, can Senior Brother Luo win?" Lin Wan'er asked worriedly, standing beside Yuan Tiangang.
"Don't worry." Yuan Tiangang said, "Qingchen's strength is far more than this."
"He still has many cards that he hasn't used yet."
"Yeah." Lin Wan'er nodded. She believed in Yuan Tiangang's judgment.
"Luo Qingchen, you are indeed very strong." Wang Teng looked at Luo Qingchen and said, "But do you think you can beat me like this?"
"You are so naive!"
"Next, I will let you see my true strength!"
Wang Teng shouted loudly, and the spiritual light on his body suddenly surged. An even more powerful aura burst out from him.
“This is… the Dharmakāya!”
"Senior Brother Wang Teng has actually cultivated a Dharma image!"
"This time, Luo Qingchen is dead!"
…
Everyone exclaimed when they saw the changes in Wang Teng.
Dharmakāya is the symbol of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.
Only by cultivating the Dharma image can one be considered a true Nascent Soul cultivator.
The power of Dharmakāya is extremely strong and can greatly enhance the strength of cultivators.
“Dharma-image?” Luo Qingchen looked at Wang Teng, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes, “Then let me see how powerful your Dharma-image is!”
"As you wish!" Wang Teng sneered, and a huge shadow appeared behind him.
It was a giant holding a huge sword and wearing armor, ten feet tall and very majestic.
"This is... the image of the God of War!"
"Senior Brother Wang Teng has actually cultivated the War God Dharma!"
"The War God's Dharma Aspect is one of the top Dharma Aspects, with infinite power!"
…
When everyone saw Wang Teng’s Dharma image, they all exclaimed in surprise.
"Luo Qingchen, prepare to die!" Wang Teng shouted, and the image of the God of War behind him swung the giant sword and slashed towards Luo Qingchen.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the huge sword slashed Luo Qingchen.
"Senior Brother Luo!" Lin Wan'er exclaimed.
"Qingchen!" Yuan Tiangang's expression also changed.
“Hahahaha…” Wang Teng laughed triumphantly, “Luo Qingchen, you’re dead!”
"Yeah?"
The smoke and dust dissipated, and Luo Qingchen's figure appeared again.
He was unharmed, and his body was covered with a faint golden light.
"This...how is this possible?" Wang Teng widened his eyes in disbelief.
"You actually blocked my Dharma attack?"
"You...what kind of monster are you?"
…
Wang Teng's heart was filled with shock and fear.
He could never have imagined that Luo Qingchen could actually block his Dharma attack.
"Your Dharma image is nothing more than this." Luo Qingchen said lightly.
"You..." Wang Teng was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Luo Qingchen but couldn't say a word.
"It's my turn!" Luo Qingchen sneered, and the sword intent on his body soared into the sky.
"Tianyuan Sword Technique, fifth style!"
Luo Qingchen shouted loudly and injected all his spiritual power into the Tianyuan Sword.
A dazzling sword light burst out from the tip of the sword and slashed towards Wang Teng.
"No!"
Wang Teng felt the terrifying power of the sword and screamed in horror.
He quickly activated his Dharma image to try to resist.
But it was too late.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the sword light slashed on the image of the God of War.
“Crack!”
With a crisp sound, the image of the God of War was actually shattered by the sword light.
"puff!"
Wang Teng vomited blood, his body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.
"Senior Brother Wang!" Li Yunfei hurried forward and supported Wang Teng.
"I... I actually lost?" Wang Teng's face was pale, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Thank you." Luo Qingchen put away his sword and stood up, saying lightly.
"Luo Qingchen, you..." Wang Teng looked at Luo Qingchen, his eyes full of resentment.
"What, you don't accept it?" Luo Qingchen sneered, "If you don't accept it, you can come again!"
"You..." Wang Teng was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he didn't dare to fight with Luo Qingchen again.
He knew that he was no match for Luo Qingchen.
"Let's go!" Wang Teng gritted his teeth, took Li Yunfei and left in shame.
"Senior Brother Luo is so awesome!"
"Senior Brother Luo is invincible!"
"Tianyuan Sect will win!"
…
The disciples of Tianyuan Sect cheered when they saw Luo Qingchen defeat Wang Teng.
"Qingchen, well done!" Lin Wan'er walked to Luo Qingchen and said with a smile.
"It was just luck." Luo Qingchen said modestly.
"Qingchen, you are too modest." Lin Wan'er said, "We all see your strength."
"Yeah." Luo Qingchen nodded.
“Qingchen, that sword you used just now was so powerful!” Lin Wan’er praised, “It was able to shatter Wang Teng’s Dharma image!”
"That's because my sword intent is stronger than his Dharma image." Luo Qingchen said.
"Yes." Lin Wan'er nodded, "Qingchen, your sword intent is becoming more and more powerful."
"This is all thanks to Master's good teaching." Luo Qingchen said.
"Haha." Yuan Tiangang smiled, "Qingchen, you don't have to be modest. Your talent and hard work are all in your eyes."
"Your future achievements are limitless."
"Thank you for the compliment, Master." Luo Qingchen said.
"Okay, let's go back." Yuan Tiangang said.
"Yeah." Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan'er nodded.
The three of them left the Alchemy Square.
The news that Luo Qingchen defeated Wang Teng quickly spread throughout the Tianyuan Sect.
Everyone was shocked by Luo Qingchen's strength.
"Luo Qingchen actually defeated Wang Teng!"
"This...this is too incredible!"
"Is he really a Jindan-stage cultivator?"
"He is simply a monster!"
…
Everyone was talking about it and they all looked at Luo Qingchen with admiration.
Luo Qingchen's name once again resounded throughout the Tianyuan Sect.
After defeating Wang Teng, Luo Qingchen's status in Tianyuan Sect was further improved.
He is not only the champion of the sect competition, but also a genius in alchemy, and a strong man who can challenge opponents of higher levels.
Countless disciples regarded Luo Qingchen as their idol and admired him immensely.
However, Luo Qingchen did not become complacent because of this.
He knew that his strength was far from enough.
In the world of cultivating immortals, there are many powerful people, and there are many who are more powerful than him.
He must continue to work hard and constantly improve his strength.
In the following days, Luo Qingchen practiced, refined pills, and accepted missions from the sect.
His cultivation base improved steadily, and his sword power became stronger and stronger.
His alchemy skills became more and more advanced, and he was already able to refine many kinds of elixirs.
His sect's contribution points increased, and he exchanged them for a large amount of cultivation resources.
Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.
Luo Qingchen returned to the cave and carefully studied the recipe for the "Hui Yuan Dan" he got from the Mission Hall. This recipe was much more complicated than the Foundation Establishment Pill, and required more types of spiritual herbs, and some of the main ingredients were quite rare.
"It seems that I have to go to the market again." Luo Qingchen said to himself.
Tianyuan Sect Market is a place where disciples of the sect trade and buy goods. It is located in the southwest corner of the sect and is quite lively. Although Luo Qingchen is an inner sect disciple, he rarely comes to the market.
The next morning, Luo Qingchen flew to the market on his sword.
The market was bustling with people, and the sounds of hawking and bargaining could be heard one after another. On both sides of the street, there were all kinds of stalls selling spiritual herbs, elixirs, magic tools, talismans and other immortal cultivation supplies.
Luo Qingchen strolled through the market, his eyes sweeping across the stalls. The spiritual herbs he was looking for were quite rare and not available at ordinary stalls.
"Senior brother, do you want to buy spiritual herbs?" A crisp voice came.
Luo Qingchen turned his head and saw a female cultivator in green standing in front of a stall, looking at him with a smile. This female cultivator had a pretty face and a lively temperament, giving people a kind feeling.
"Well, I want to buy some spiritual herbs." Luo Qingchen nodded.
"I wonder what spiritual herbs you want to buy, brother? I have a wide variety of spiritual herbs here, maybe there is what you need." said the female cultivator.
Luo Qingchen named the several spiritual herbs he needed.
After hearing this, the female cultivator thought for a moment and said, "The spiritual herbs that Senior Brother wants are indeed quite rare. However, I happen to have two of them here, 'Purple Jade Ginseng' and 'Mysterious Ice Flower'."
"Oh?" Luo Qingchen's eyes lit up, "That's great, I want both of these spiritual herbs."
"Okay!" The female cultivator took out two jade boxes from the stall and handed them to Luo Qingchen, "Brother, please take a look. These are the Purple Jade Ginseng and the Mysterious Ice Flower."
Luo Qingchen took the jade box, opened it and saw that the jade box contained a purple ginseng and a crystal clear ice flower, full of spiritual energy.
"Yes, it is the Purple Jade Ginseng and Black Ice Flower." Luo Qingchen nodded with satisfaction, "How many spirit stones?"
"The purple jade ginseng is five hundred years old and is priced at three hundred top-grade spirit stones. The black ice flower is three hundred years old and is priced at two hundred top-grade spirit stones. The total is five hundred top-grade spirit stones." said the female cultivator.
Luo Qingchen did not bargain, but directly took out five hundred high-grade spirit stones and handed them to the female cultivator.
"Brother, you are so straightforward!" The female cultivator took the spirit stone and said with a smile, "Brother, do you need other spirit herbs? I can help you keep an eye out for them."
"Thank you." Luo Qingchen said, "I am still short of one 'Dragon Scale Fruit'. If you can help me find it, I will reward you handsomely."
"Dragon scale fruit?" The female cultivator frowned slightly. "This dragon scale fruit is one of the main ingredients for refining Hui Yuan Dan. It is extremely rare. I can't guarantee that I can find it."
"But don't worry, brother. I will do my best to help you."
"Thank you very much." Luo Qingchen expressed his gratitude again.
After bidding farewell to the female cultivator, Luo Qingchen continued to look for dragon scale fruit in the market.
He searched the entire market town but could not find any trace of the dragon scale fruit.
"It seems that this dragon scale fruit is indeed hard to find." Luo Qingchen was a little disappointed.
Just as he was about to leave the market, he suddenly heard a quarrel.
"I was the first one to see this 'Seven-Leaf Lotus'. Why should I sell it to him?"
"My fellow Taoist, everything should be based on first come first served. You are forcing me to buy and sell like this, isn't that too overbearing?"
"Hmph, first come first served? In the world of immortal cultivation, strength is everything! I'm determined to take this seven-leaf lotus. If you don't agree, come and grab it!"
Luo Qingchen looked in the direction of the sound and saw a burly male cultivator arguing with a stall owner. The male cultivator was dressed in black, had a fierce face, and exuded a powerful aura.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a low level of cultivation. Facing the pressure from the black-clothed male cultivator, he seemed a little afraid.
"My fellow Taoist, isn't this too much?" a cold voice came.
Luo Qingchen turned around and saw a female cultivator in white standing by, coldly looking at the male cultivator in black. This female cultivator had a beautiful appearance and a cold temperament, like an iceberg snow lotus.
"Lin Wan'er?" Luo Qingchen was a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet Lin Wan'er here.
“Hey, isn’t this Junior Sister Lin?” The black-clothed male cultivator saw Lin Wan’er and a wicked light flashed in his eyes. “Why, Junior Sister Lin also wants to stand up for this old guy?”
"I just can't stand you bullying the weak." Lin Wan'er said coldly.
"Bullying the weak?" The black-clothed male cultivator sneered, "Junior Sister Lin, don't forget that this is the world of immortal cultivation, and the law of the jungle is the law of survival!"
"I advise you to mind your own business, lest you get into trouble!"
"Getting into trouble?" Lin Wan'er sneered, "I, Lin Wan'er, have never been afraid of anyone!"
“Okay, okay, okay!” The black-clothed male cultivator laughed in anger, “Junior Sister Lin, since you are so ungrateful, don’t blame me for being rude!”
There was a flash of spiritual light on his body, and a flying sword flew out of his body.
"Stop!" Luo Qingchen suddenly said, "My fellow Daoist, I want this seven-leaf lotus."
"You?" The black-clothed male cultivator looked at Luo Qingchen, a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes, "Who do you think you are? How dare you meddle in my business?"
"I am a disciple of Tianyuan Sect, Luo Qingchen." Luo Qingchen said lightly.
"Luo Qingchen?" The black-clothed male cultivator was slightly stunned. He seemed to have heard of this name.
"So you are the Luo Qingchen who defeated Wang Teng." The black-clothed male cultivator said, "But even if you are Luo Qingchen, so what? This is a market town, not the Tianyuan Sect!"
"I advise you to mind your own business, or you will end up in trouble!"
"Asking for trouble?" Luo Qingchen smiled, "I want to see how you make me ask for trouble."
"Okay, okay, okay!" The black-clothed male cultivator laughed in anger, "Luo Qingchen, since you are so ungrateful, don't blame me for being rude!"
He urged the flying sword and stabbed towards Luo Qingchen.
"A mere trifle." Luo Qingchen sneered, and with a flick of his wrist, the Tianyuan Sword came out of its sheath.
"Tianyuan Sword Technique, first move!"
A flash of sword light flashed across the sky like lightning and collided with the flying sword.
"when!"
With a crisp sound, the flying sword was knocked away by the sword light.
