Fang Chen didn't know that Mo Han would challenge him to a life and death battle after he left the Sword Reverence Sect. He was now in front of the sword range.
The outer area of the sword range could be entered at any time, but it was very difficult to enter the inner area of the sword range. It could even be said that it was almost impossible.
Fang Chen arrived at the periphery of the sword range with ease. He tried to enter the inner area, but to no avail. He was unable to enter the inner area of the sword range.
At this time, the Little Mouse suddenly jumped down from Fang Chen's shoulder and gestured to Fang Chen. Under Fang Chen's shock, the Little Mouse directly entered the inner area of the sword range.
"This …"
Fang Chen was dumbfounded. He had tried every method he could think of, but he was still unable to enter the sword range's inner area. Yet, the little mouse had easily entered.
"What kind of race is it?" Fang Chen was very curious about the Little Mouse.
After a while, the Little Mouse appeared from the inner area of the sword range. At this time, it was holding a Spiritual Grass in its mouth.
"Fantasy Sword Grass!"
Seeing the Fantasy Sword Grass in the Little Mouse's mouth, Fang Chen's face was full of shock.
"It's actually a Fantasy Sword Grass."
Fang Chen was very excited. The Fantasy Sword Grass was a very precious Spiritual Grass. This Spiritual Grass could be refined into a very important pill called the Mind Gathering Pill.
The Mind Gathering Pill was a genuine low-tier Spirit Level Pill. Moreover, the Mind Gathering Pill was the upgraded version of the Mind Solidifying Pill. One Mind Gathering Pill was equivalent to many Mind Solidifying Pills.
"If I can take a Mind Gathering Pill, maybe I can break through to the second minor realm." Fang Chen secretly said in his heart.
Fang Chen tried to suppress his excitement. He looked at the Little Mouse and said, "Can you still go in?"
No wonder the Little Mouse asked him to come to the sword range. It turned out that it could easily enter the inner area of the sword range. Moreover, it took out a Fantasy Sword Grass the first time it entered.
The Little Mouse shook its head and gestured with its little hands.
"Yes. Entering the sword range's inner area consumes a lot of energy. With your current strength, you can only enter once a day," Fang Chen said as he watched the Little Mouse's gestures.
The Little Mouse nodded and jumped onto Fang Chen's shoulder.
"The restrictions in the inner area of the sword range are very strong. It is already very impressive that the Little Mouse was able to enter," Fang Chen muttered to himself.
If the Little Mouse could enter without any restrictions, it would be too heaven-defying.
However, going in once a day was not a bad idea.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Fang Chen's face again.
The Little Mouse handed the Fantasy Sword Grass to Fang Chen as if to say that it was compensation for eating the Mind Solidifying Pill. Fang Chen put away the Fantasy Sword Grass in a good mood.
"I need to find an Alchemy Grandmaster to refine the Mind Solidifying Pill." Fang Chen thought for a moment and said slowly.
Soon after, Fang Chen arrived at the Sword State City.
In the Sword State City, Fang Chen asked around and found out that the most powerful Alchemists in the city were all in the Luo Clan.
"No wonder the Luo Clan first looks at alchemy talent." Fang Chen muttered to himself.
Since all the Alchemists were in the Luo Clan, Fang Chen would definitely go to the Luo Clan to find those Alchemy Grandmasters.
For the current him, the attraction of the Mind Solidifying Pill was quite big.
Not long after, Fang Chen arrived at the Luo Clan's residence.
The Luo Clan's residence was located in the central west of the Sword State City. It occupied a large area and the buildings were very luxurious.
"A small branch of the Luo Clan is already so glorious. I wonder how glorious the Luo Clan's headquarters in the imperial capital is."
After seeing the Luo Clan's residence, Fang Chen's face was filled with helplessness. He was too naive at that time. Now it seems that even if he became an inner disciple of the Sword Reverence Sect, he might not be able to meet the current head of the Luo Clan's branch.
"Forget it, I'll take it one step at a time. Before I find my mother, I'll just treat these experiences as training. Moreover, even if I find my mother now, without strength, everything is useless." Fang Chen said.
To put it bluntly, strength is everything. When your strength reaches a certain level, you don't need to look for them. The head of the Luo Clan's branch will personally come to see you.
"Strength!"
Fang Chen clenched his fists and shouted in his heart.
Before arriving at the Luo Clan's residence, Fang Chen was stopped by two guards.
"This is the Luo Clan's residence. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter." One of the guards said coldly.
"I'm here to request an audience with Grandmaster Luo Hanshan." Fang Chen said.
"Hmph, you think any random person can meet Grandmaster Luo Hanshan? What a joke. There are tons of people like you every day. Hurry up and leave." The other guard sneered.
Fang Chen shook his head. It seemed that wanting to see an alchemist Grandmaster was still a bit difficult.
Just as Fang Chen was about to turn and leave, two people suddenly walked out of the Luo Clan's residence. The two of them were talking and laughing. They didn't see Fang Chen at all.
"Brother Xuan, your strength has improved too quickly. It really makes people envious." One of the cultivators laughed. Beside him, Luo Xuan was walking with a smile.
"Brat, you just don't work hard." Luo Xuan smiled.
"Brother Xuan, how can I compare to you? You're Luo He's only disciple. After joining the Luo Clan's branch, you immediately received the Luo Clan's focus. Even the Luo Clan's consecrator, Grandmaster Luo Hanshan, said that if you want to learn alchemy, you can go find him at any time."
Luo Xuan shook his head. His eyes were filled with pride.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly stopped. His eyes were filled with anger as he looked in front of him.
"Brother Xuan, what's wrong?"
Seeing Luo Xuan's abnormality, the Luo Clan's disciple hurriedly asked.
Luo Xuan paused for a moment, then a strange smile appeared on his face. He walked step by step over to Fang Chen.
"I met an acquaintance." Luo Xuan softly said.
"Brother Xuan, the acquaintance you mentioned is him. Who is he?" The disciple looked curiously at Fang Chen.
Fang Chen also noticed Luo Xuan. He didn't say anything. He just quietly looked at Luo Xuan.
"Fang Chen, why have you come to my Luo clan?" Luo Xuan looked at Fang Chen.
Just at this moment, a guard walked in front of Luo Xuan and whispered, "Young master Luo Xuan, this person said he wanted to see Grandmaster Luo Hanshan, but I chased him out. I didn't expect him to be an acquaintance of yours. I was wrong."
When the two guards heard Luo Xuan's words, they were terrified and their bodies trembled.
"It's none of your business." Luo Xuan waved his hand.
The two guards rejoiced and quickly left. At this time, Luo Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Chen. "You want to see Grandmaster Luo Hanshan?"
Fang Chen nodded. "Correct."
Luo Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "I can bring you to see Grandmaster Luo Hanshan."
Fang Chen was silent for a moment. In the end, he nodded. If he didn't borrow Luo Xuan's hand, it would be too difficult to see Grandmaster Luo Hanshan.
Luo Xuan should hate him. Why would he treat him like this? Could it be that he was plotting something?
After thinking about it for a moment, Fang Chen stopped thinking about it. So what if he was plotting something?
He followed Luo Xuan into the Luo clan's residence.
Only after entering did Fang Chen realize how big the Luo clan's residence was. It was not something he had imagined.
Luo Hanshan was the strongest alchemist of the Luo clan. As a grand alchemist, the place he lived in was naturally extraordinary.
After a while, Luo Xuan brought Fang Chen to a beautiful place. This place was behind a mountain and facing a river. It was definitely a good place to cultivate.
Even Fang Chen couldn't help sighing. This place was truly beautiful.
"Xuan-er, you've come."
Just at this moment, a heavy voice rang out in Fang Chen's ears. Then Fang Chen saw a white-haired elder drinking tea in a pavilion at the center of the lotus pond.
"He's grandmaster Luo Hanshan."
When Fang Chen saw Grandmaster Luo Hanshan, his pupils constricted. He could feel a wild aura coming from the latter.
"Uncle-master Hanshan, I've come to see you," whispered Luo Xuan.
"I don't usually see you come here. Why did you bring an outsider this time?" smiled Luo Hanshan.
"Uncle-master Hanshan, his name is Fang Chen. He is a disciple of the Sword Reverence Sect. In the sword range, he once stole a priceless treasure that belonged to me," said Luo Xuan calmly.
Killing intent flashed in Luo Hanshan's eyes. Although Luo Xuan hadn't gone into the details, he could guess at some of the details.
"Why did you bring him here?" asked Luo Hanshan.
"He said he wanted to see you, so I naturally brought him here." Luo Xuan's eyes were filled with ridicule.
Luo Hanshan had lived for so many years. How could he not understand Luo Xuan's meaning? He laughed heartily and looked at Fang Chen.
"What business do you have with me?" asked Luo Hanshan.
"Junior Fang Chen greets Grandmaster Luo Hanshan. The reason I've come to find Grandmaster Luo Hanshan is to ask Grandmaster Luo Hanshan to refine a Mind Gathering Pill for me." Fang Chen cupped his hands and said.
"Yes, refining a Will Condensing Pill?" asked Luo Hanshan.
"Correct. Junior urgently needs a Will Condensing Pill. How can I get senior to help me?" asked Fang Chen.
"Do you have the materials to refine a Will Condensing Pill?" asked Luo Hanshan.
Fang Chen took out the Illusory Sword Grass. "Junior has already prepared it."
"Let me see it," said Luo Hanshan.
Fang Chen handed the Illusory Sword Grass to Luo Hanshan. He was secretly delighted. Since Luo Hanshan had said this, it seemed he would help him refine a Will Condensing Pill. But he didn't know what price he would pay. As long as it didn't exceed Fang Chen's bottom line, he would agree.
However, just as Fang Chen was fantasizing, Luo Hanshan put away the Illusory Sword Grass and icily said, "I'll take the Illusory Sword Grass. Now scram from the Luo family."
Luo Hanshan's voice was like thunder, rumbling through the air.
Fang Chen was startled. He looked at Luo Hanshan. Luo Hanshan's face was filled with ridicule. Fang Chen's heart was immediately filled with endless fury.
So everything Luo Xuan had done was to humiliate him.
Yes, it was to humiliate him.
Luo Hanshan clearly hadn't agreed to help him, but he was still mocking him. It was all to humiliate him.
Fang Chen was ashen. He was filled with fury, but he had no way to vent it. He viciously glared at Luo Xuan. If looks could kill, Luo Xuan would have already been killed countless times over.
"You stole Xuan-er's things and still dare to come find me to refine a pill? You really are courting death." Luo Hanshan sneered. To the side, Luo Xuan's face was filled with ridicule.
From the moment he had met Fang Chen, Luo Xuan had already planned to use Luo Hanshan to humiliate Fang Chen.
"Fang Chen, you really are naive. You really did come with me to see uncle-master Hanshan, hahaha." Luo Xuan was extremely happy to see Fang Chen's humiliated appearance.
"Luo Xuan!"
Fang Chen's voice was incomparably heavy. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he was about to go berserk.
"Still not scramming?!" Luo Hanshan icily said.
Each of Luo Hanshan's words was like a ray of sword light stabbing into Fang Chen's heart. Fang Chen was filled with endless pain.
Before coming, he had inquired about Luo Hanshan's character. Luo Hanshan was an easy-going person. But he had never expected Luo Hanshan to have such a relationship with Luo Xuan.
As long as he could pay the price, he would be able to get Luo Hanshan to refine a pill for him. Fang Chen had only come to find Luo Hanshan because of that.
At the gate, Luo Xuan had said he would bring Fang Chen to see Luo Hanshan. Luo Hanshan had thought about it for a moment, but in the end, he had still followed. He hadn't expected to be greeted with such humiliation instead of Luo Hanshan helping him.
"Trash, you dare come to the Luo family's residence to make a spectacle of yourself? You really don't know what's good for you." Luo Xuan constantly insulted Fang Chen.
Fang Chen clenched his fists, doing his best to suppress his fury. He wasn't Luo Hanshan's match. He couldn't be impulsive.
"I'll definitely return this humiliation a hundred times over in the future."
Fang Chen's eyes were red as he slowly said each word.
After saying that, Fang Chen immediately turned and prepared to leave. The Fantasy Sword Grass had already been taken away by Luo Hanshan, so it was impossible for him to get it back. He could only leave first.
"Stop."
Just as Fang Chen turned around to leave, Luo Hanshan suddenly let out a low shout. In an instant, a majestic aura abruptly emanated from his body and directly enveloped Fang Chen.
Crack!
Fang Chen's bones creaked. The places he had put his life on the line were completely useless. Traces of blood flowed out of his seven orifices.
