BXBX NOVEL Chapter 170 - 112 What do you think of Mi Junping (Seeking Subscription)?
Having said that, he turned and left.
Inside the Pill Room, there was only Tang Quan, Mi Li and the others left, with troubled expressions as they cleaned up the Pill Furnace.
Leaving the Pill Room, Luo Chen didn’t return to his stone hut, nor did he go to the Crescent Valley.
Instead, he greeted Zhou Yuanli and flew towards the forest behind Crescent Valley.
“I was able to master the Allure Pill-making technique mainly because of the System’s beginner teaching. Even so, I failed many times.”
“Tang Quan and the others, I’m afraid they’ll have to fail many times before getting their first success.”
“Let them fail then, after all, what’s being wasted are the raw materials of the Broken Mountain Gang.”
Luo Chen chuckled lightly, descended from the sky, and arrived in the middle of the forest.
Glancing back, Luo Chen withdrew his gaze.
As expected, Zhou Yuanli and the others were likely watching over him secretly.
Well, since he was just here to test the magic tools, there was nothing he particularly needed to hide.
Luo Chen’s current trump card was not these magic tools.
It was rather the myriad of techniques he had diligently cultivated.
The Fireball Technique that he had brought to Completion, the unparalleled speed technique, and the Grandmaster Level Entanglement Technique.
Even the beginner level Heavenly Maiden Scatter Flowers Technique, combined with the Completion stage Primordial Chaos Bead Hand Technique, collected with hundreds of discarded Jade Marrow Beads had extraordinary power.
Compared to these, the magic tools were just there to make his battle options more diverse.
“I guess I’m the only one who can use various techniques at ease and swiftly in the Qi Refinement Stage!”
After the previous battle, Luo Chen was quite satisfied with the robustness of his spiritual power.
The power of techniques was never weaker than that of magic tools!
The weak one was just the person.
Whoosh!
An ancient grey spear landed in Luo Chen’s hand.
Upon channeling spirit power into it, the grey spear gradually turned red, and Luo Chen could gradually feel a burning heat on his hand.
“The Ascendant Grade Fire Tip Spear is notable for its powerful attack.”
“When my Four Symbols Tripod was fully deployed for defense, it could barely stop it. If it catches an enemy off guard, a single spear strike could pierce any ordinary Ascendant Grade Robes.”
The defensive power of robes is far inferior to that of a dedicated defensive magic tool.
With a flick of his hand, the spear flew out like a meteor.
The target was a centuries-old tree a hundred meters away.
With a bang, the tree shook violently.
As smoke and dust rose, Luo Chen looked up and the tree had already been reduced to sawdust.
With a wave of his hand, the Fire Tip Spear flew back towards Luo Chen dominantly, then stopped gracefully in front of him.
The Grandmaster Level Attraction Technique allowed Luo Chen to master the use of magic tools quickly.
“The power is indeed extraordinary!”
After the test, Luo Chen drew his conclusion.
Its penetration power was not as good as the Soul Breaking Nail, but in terms of instant burst and area damage, the Soul Breaking Nail was far behind.
With this spear, Luo Chen had a means for frontal combat.
From then on, the Jade Sword would only be his second choice.
It was a pity about that Ascendant Grade Flying Sword!
The Flying Sword was ice-attributed and requires either a compatible Ice Spirit Root or an exceptional Water Spirit Root to control.
Luo Chen didn’t have an Ice Spirit Root.
Though he possessed a Water Spirit Root, it was not remarkable as he had all Five Elements.
Furthermore, the cultivation technique he practised, the Longevity Technique, was classified as the Wood Type.
If a cultivator primarily practices Wood Type cultivation techniques, their spirit power will primarily lean towards the Wood Type.
According to the theory of mutually promoting and restraining interactions of the Five Elements, Wood generates Fire and plenty of Wood intensifies Fire. Therefore, Luo Chen was well-suited to Fire Type techniques and Fire Type magic tools.
In contrast, water generates Wood, and it’s difficult for the two to work in reverse.
Hence, Luo Chen wasn’t as compatible with water-related techniques and magic tools.
But since it was an Ascendant Grade magic tool, Luo Chen could not bear to sell it. Hence, he just left it in the Tea Shop to be used as an “ice maker”.
If he needed it in the future, he could always take it back.
“What’s the use of this bell?”
Picking up the pair of emerald bells, Luo Chen was puzzled.
He channeled his Qi power into it, and the bell shone brightly. However, there were no other reactions.
He thought for a moment and slightly shook his hand.
“Ding dong!”
A gentle sound caused Luo Chen’s brain to momentarily blank out as he was caught unawares.
“Oh, it’s a sonic magic tool!”
“That’s rare!”
Luo Chen looked delighted, preemptively using his spirit power to block his ears and then shaking the bell rapidly.
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.
Thud!
A large snake directly fell into the forest in front of him.
Luo Chen merely glanced at it and was not bothered.
It was only a Broccoli Snake – an extremely weak creature, even among First Order Demon Beasts.
Its spirit power was scanty. If it was taken out, its meat wouldn’t even fetch a good price.
“Although it’s only a Medium Grade magic tool and its power is not high, sonic attacks are quite rare.”
“If it’s used unexpectedly, it might finish the fight with one strike.”
In a blink of an eye, Luo Chen thought of the best way to use this bell in a battle.
It wasn’t intended to be used in conjunction with the Fire Tip Spear, but instead with the Soul Breaking Nail, which also excelled at sneaky attacks.
“Since that’s the case, might as well name you Bereaved Spirit Bell!”
Luo Chen chuckled lightly and stored the Bereaved Spirit Bell in the Storage Bag.
Then, he went on to test several other magic tools.
Unfortunately, they were all very common Lower Grade magic tools and didn’t possess any significant power.
As for that white board, Luo Chen had already inquired about its specific effect from the Wanbao Pavilion.
That thing was actually sold by the Wanbao Pavilion, specifically for environments like the Xuelian District.
Snow Stepping Board!
A flying magic tool.
But it’s flight speed was average, equivalent to an average Middle Stage Cultivator’s Wind Riding Technique.
However, if used across snowy lands, or large rivers or seas, the Snow Stepping Board could take advantage of the environment and its speed would increase manifold, achieving the flying speed of a cultivator in the Late Stage Qi Refinement..
