Otherworldly Leveling Madman

Chapter 2

Next, Luo Chen entered a utensil shop. According to the strange old man, he needed some bottles and cans.

Under the instructions of the strange old man, Luo Chen bought a bunch of bottles and cans of different sizes, as well as messy utensils such as clips and pliers. some similar substitutes.

Just when the collection was ready to pay, the strange old man suddenly let out a surprise, and asked seriously: "What's the matter with the pile of utensils in the corner? Is it expensive?"

"Those are fallen treasures, old weapons, etc. They are rarely useful, and they are usually disposed of cheaply. What's wrong?" Luo Chen wondered.

"Okay, very good! Have you seen that wide and thick sword that is more than one meter long, you must buy it!"

Luo Chen just took a quick glance and then looked away. The big sword was almost unrecognizable. The rust on it was densely covered with bumps, and the tip of the sword was broken off. Even if it is recycled as scrap iron, it is worth less than two low-grade spirit stones.

But since it's something the strange old man likes, it must not be that simple.Could it be that its predecessor was some powerful magic weapon?
Luo Chen remained calm and smiled slightly: "Boss Liu, you see I bought so many appliances, can I get a discount?"

Boss Liu smiled on the surface: "The price I gave is already very low, and I won't make you any money."

Luo Chen frowned slightly, glanced at the corner casually, and said casually: "Boss Liu, how about this, I'll add five low-grade spirit stones, how about you let me pick two useless weapons?"

Boss Liu squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, then agreed: "Well, okay."

"Damn! A profiteer!" The strange old man exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Both are profiteers! But he is a small profiteer, and you are a big profiteer!"

Luo Chen ignored the blaming old man, walked to the waste pile without haste, and pretended to choose.After spending nearly a cup of tea, Luo Chen tapped several scrap weapons in a row, hesitated a few times, and finally picked out two scrap weapons helplessly.

"Just these two pieces." After throwing the two unremarkable waste products in front of the boss, Luo Chen didn't take a second look, and went straight to pay.

Boss Liu rolled his eyes, took a closer look, and then proceeded to check out and collect the money with a big smile on his face.

It can be described as a happy transaction.

As soon as he walked out of the shop, the strange old man immediately sighed with emotion: "If you were born in my era, Oscar would definitely be softened by you."

Knowing that the strange old man must be teasing him, Luo Chen just shook his head and smiled, but unconsciously quickened his pace a little.

……

After returning to the thatched cottage, Luo Chen found two things on the table, a treasure bag and a note with beautiful handwriting.

Just as Luo Chen picked up the note, the strange old man was already shaking his head, and began to read in a low voice: "Brother Luo Chen, I'm going on a long journey, and I don't think I'll be able to come back in a short time. It's a pity I couldn't wait for you. Take care of yourself." .——Qingqing.”

Ye Qingqing, like Luo Chen, was adopted by an old Taoist priest since she was a child, and she is the same brother and sister as Luo Chen, but she was taken by an elder of the inner sect before she was ten years old, and she was directly sent to the inner sect to train her carefully. It is the practice of a fifth-level Taoist priest.

You don't need to look at Luo Chen to know that there must be Lingshi in the treasure bag.

"She knew I wouldn't accept it, so she didn't even give me a chance to refuse this time." Luo Chen smiled wryly in his heart.

"Qingqing? Hehe, as soon as you hear the name, you know that she is a pure, beautiful, cute and kind girl!" At this time, the strange old man suddenly smiled coercively, "You are hiding something, hurry up and tell me honestly. Be lenient, resist and be strict.”

The corner of Luo Chen's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, "We are just friends."

"Friends? Friends are good, everything starts with friends!" The strange old man looked happy, "I have a lot of secrets for picking up girls, let me search them for you!"

"I beg you, let's start refining the potion first!" Luo Chen was terrified, afraid to blame the old man for never ending.

"Alright." The strange old man smiled mysteriously, "But, aren't you curious about the scrap sword I asked you to buy?"

"Naturally, I'm curious, but I'm not in a hurry." Luo Chen said honestly.

After all, if the strength does not improve, no matter how powerful the magic weapon is, it will not be able to use it.Moreover, Luo Chen didn't really believe that he could find a peerless magic weapon casually.

After collecting the elixirs and notes left by Qingqing, Luo Chen started to refine the elixirs.

According to the strange old man's instructions, Luo Chen meticulously classified the medicinal materials into different categories and extracted the required medicinal liquid one by one.Fortunately, the old man didn't ask Luo Chen to make alchemy, but just basic operations such as grinding and extraction. Otherwise, for Luo Chen, who had no experience in alchemy, it would really be a big deal.

Two hours later, the table was full of bottles and cans, and Luo Chen was slightly relieved, the first step was finally completed.

The next step is the most important deployment.According to Luo Chen's cognition, there is a slight error, and it is very likely that all previous efforts will be wasted.Unexpectedly, the strange old man said that there is no need to be nervous, even if the dosage is slightly different, it will not affect the overall medicinal properties, at most the effect will be weaker.

However, Luo Chen didn't dare to neglect in the slightest, and began to deploy without distraction.

It wasn't until he carefully finished the last step that Luo Chen let out a sigh of relief.

"Well, yes, it is indeed a work completed under my hands-on guidance." The strange old man laughed complacently.

An old voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Luo Chen couldn't help being startled, and when he turned his head, he was even more startled.

I saw a strange old man dangling out of the scrap iron, wearing a strange outfit, with shaggy hair, as if struck by lightning.The curly beard grew all over his mouth. At first glance, he thought he was a savage running from deep mountains and old forests.

"Hey, although my old man is more handsome, you don't have to stare at me so affectionately?" The strange old man suddenly put his hands on his chest and said righteously, "I solemnly declare that my sexual orientation is normal and I am a pure man! "

Luo Chen trembled all over, almost fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

After finally regaining his composure, Luo Chen discovered another problem.The smell of the potion made in that bottle is fine, but the color is too bright!It is not an exaggeration to say that it is colorful.Anyone with a little common sense knows that the brighter the color of the herb, the more toxic it is.

Noticing that Luo Chen stared at the five-color potion for a long time, he blamed the old man for blowing his beard and staring: "You don't suspect that this potion is poisonous, do you?"

Luo Chen ignored him, but with a heartbeat, he caught a passing mouse in the distance.

"Damn it! You really don't believe it!" Seeing Luo Chen self-consciously feeding a drop of medicine into the mouse's mouth, the strange old man suddenly yelled.

The next moment, the exasperated old man immediately fell silent, his eyes were bulging like goldfish, his mouth was wide open and he couldn't speak.Luo Chen's heart twitched violently.

But seeing the poor mouse brother suddenly dizzy, after two breaths, his body trembled, and then he fell to the ground and remained motionless.

Whoops!
"No, it's impossible. You obviously followed the instructions, and there was no mistake in any step, but how could this happen?" The strange old man muttered to himself, almost crying, "Brother Mouse, I know you are good at acting. , don’t scare me anymore, my fragile heart can’t bear it…”

Luo Chen's face darkened instantly. If he had swallowed the potion rashly just now, he would probably be the one lying on the ground.

However, just when Luo Chen was about to erupt, the little squirrel suddenly turned into a carp, and became lively, then squeaked fiercely at Luo Chen twice, as if in a demonstration, and then swaggered away up.

Luo Chen and the strange old man were both dumbfounded.

"Ahaha!" The strange old man laughed exaggeratedly, shaking the thatched cottage a few times, "Boy, now you can take the medicine with confidence!"

Luo Chen's eyes were burning, he didn't hesitate anymore, he swallowed most of the potion in one go, and then sat cross-legged on the ground, he wanted to hit the second level again!
Seeing this, the strange old man tactfully swayed outside the house, not only not disturbing Luo Chen, but also protecting him.

As if sensing the master's emotions, the spiritual energy in Luo Chen's dantian seemed to be excited like never before, wave after wave, and began to flock to Tanzhong acupoint crazily!
When the ferocious spiritual energy touched his heart, Luo Chen still felt a dull pain, but this level of pain was nothing to him at all!
The potion works!

After being overjoyed, Luo Chen quickly collected his mind, moved his spiritual energy according to the exercises, and launched an attack on Tanzhong acupoint.

For eight full years, Luo Chen had accumulated a lot of spiritual energy in his body, especially before he was completely abandoned by the sect, he had swallowed countless panaceas, and even a human-level gem that the old Taoist had worked so hard to obtain. Elixir!As far as the same realm is concerned, Luo Chen's accumulation is more than a hundred times stronger than that of ordinary cultivators!

Even after so many years, a lot of spiritual energy has been lost, but it is still shockingly majestic.

The spiritual energy hidden in the flesh and blood, and even in unknown places, was attracted by Luo Chen, and countless gossamer-like spiritual energy gathered together, and the accumulation of less became more, and gradually, the gurgling water became a torrential river!
The great river of Lingyuan surged continuously, washing the Tanzhong acupoint in the center of his chest.

"Crack!"

There was a silent explosion, as if an unnamed space had been broken.

Second day!Luo Chen advanced to a second-level Taoist priest!
After eight years of stagnation in the first level, Luo Chen finally broke through at this moment!

At this moment, Luo Chen had mixed feelings.For eight years, it was like living in a nightmare, the world was almost dark...

However, from this moment on, he wants to get out of the nightmare!

Suddenly, Luo Chen clenched his fists and made up his mind!He was actually not satisfied, and wanted to break through in one fell swoop and enter the third heaven!

Logically speaking, this is something that most people dare not even think about.Just broke through the first level, but want to break through the next level without stopping?If cultivating the Tao is so easy, there will be people flying all over the sky without cultivating it?
However, Luo Chen is not an ordinary person. In eight years, while making his life worse than death, it also allowed him to hone his astonishing willpower. Coupled with his solid accumulation, he has every hope of creating miracles.

After a large number of Lingyuan broke through the Tanzhong acupoint and filled it, they were still extremely vigorous. Under Luo Chen's guidance, they went forward one after another, all the way up, towards Yintang acupoint.

I don't know how long it took, like a few moments, or a few days, Luo Chen still remained motionless, concentrating on hitting the checkpoint.

Ke Yintang acupoint is like a stone gate, without any sign of being broken open!After repeated consumption, the torrential Lingyuan Dahe gradually became unbearable and began to shrink.

"What's going on? Isn't such a mighty spirit energy enough to break through? The path of cultivation is indeed difficult. But I can still hold on!" Luo Chen clenched his teeth and persevered.

"Okay! I finally see a glimmer of hope!" Luo Chen was overjoyed, as if the gate of Yintang Point had slowly opened a corner.

Rumble!Seeing that the door is about to be completely opened.

"Oops! There's not enough spirit energy in the body!" Luo Chen suddenly turned pale with shock. If he couldn't make a breakthrough at this time, not only would all his previous efforts be wasted, but if he was unlucky, he might even regress in cultivation and return to the first level.
