Chapter 936: Chapter 382: Chu Kui Enters Luo Tian, Luo Yun Arrives at Jinsha_2
“Join the Luo Tian Creed?” He seemed not to have heard the words clearly and repeated the phrase.
Chu Kui nodded, saying earnestly, “I have studied the merit exchange rules of the Four Sects. If a Rogue Cultivator were to exchange meritorious deeds for the Core Formation Secret Technique, it could only be used by one person. But if it’s a vassal force, the entire force can use it together, though it must not be casually divulged.”
“To gather ten thousand merits by the power of one is immensely challenging,” he said.
“But if the strength of an entire force is pooled, earning those merits is not so difficult.”
“That’s why I had the thought to seek collaboration with you.”
So that was it!
No wonder his first address had not been ‘Friend,’ ‘Brother,’ or even his name.
Instead, he had honored him with the title “Chief Luo.”
So he’d been waiting here for this!
Luo Chen blinked and quickly understood the crux of it.
Naturally, his attention focused on Chu Kui’s interpretation of the rules for the exchange of merits for secret techniques.
Pool the strength of an entire sect to obtain tens of thousands of merits and exchange them for the Great Technique of Core Formation.
Difficult?
Definitely difficult!

But somehow, it didn’t seem quite so hard anymore?
Luo Chen estimated what he could achieve in large-scale battles at the Foundation Establishment Stage with the support of allies.
And Chu Kui had already given him the answer.
“I’ve witnessed your application of the Fire Type Technique, always powerful and with an extensive range!”
“Especially that technique you used to suppress Wei Tuo, which subtly contained a power of sealing and suppression!”
“If you and I join forces, we can easily slaughter a dozen Foundation Establishments!”
“If we engage in guerrilla warfare, doing this a few more times, ten thousand Merit Points would be nothing!”
He emphasized every line with great conviction.
In his words, the recognition of Luo Chen’s strength was unmistakable.
Others might not know what Luo Chen was capable of.
But he, Chu Kui, had been Luo Chen’s sparring partner for a while.
Beneath that seemingly gentle smile hid a formidable power, formidable enough to threaten even a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Indeed, because of the extensive damage range of the Fire Type Technique, it could be more threatening to comparatively weaker enemies than them, who relied too much on their Magical Weapons and Treasures.
Faced with his recognition, Luo Chen remained silent.
But in Chu Kui’s eyes, this silence was the best of news.
It meant that Luo Chen was truly contemplating the feasibility of this proposition!
Seeing this, he struck while the iron was hot.
“I’m not someone who only cares about the present,” he said.
“Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or fails, once we collaborate, I will join the Luo Tian Creed wholeheartedly and regard you as my Lord!”
“As long as you don’t mind the numerous enemies I have, I, Chu Kui, will never abandon the Luo Tian Creed.”
“Moreover, if we succeed, I will owe you a great favor.”
The silent Luo Chen’s eyelids couldn’t help but twitch.
Chu Kui was “selling himself”!
For the sake of Core Formation, he was even willing to join a second-rate force like the Luo Tian Creed.
Considering his strength and reputation, first-rate forces would certainly want to recruit him.
Even a Golden Core Great Sect wouldn’t mind adding such talent to their ranks.
It seemed he really didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
But…
Suddenly!
“Luo Chen!”
“Are you truly indifferent to the idea of the Great Technique of Core Formation?”
Chu Kui asked pointedly, his words aimed straight at the depths of Luo Chen’s heart.
At this juncture, Luo Chen finally raised his head to meet that pair of eyes brimming with the eagerness of battle.
He spoke softly, “Give me half a month.”
Chu Kui was startled, then overjoyed.
He could wait half a month!
…
Was Luo Chen interested in the Great Technique of Core Formation?
Of course, he was!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked Tao Wen for a better Core Formation Technique even while possessing the Dragon Phoenix Tribulation Secret Technique.
Although Tao Wen couldn’t provide it, he did bestow upon him the Core Condensation Experience written by his clan’s ancient ancestor.
It was also after reading “The Understanding of Nanshan” that Luo Chen truly understood just how significantly different levels of secret techniques could improve the chances of Core Formation Success.
The Simple Technique of Pill Formation, the most basic, had the lowest chance, only increasing the likelihood by ten percent.
The Medium Technique of Pill Formation was relatively better, but the improvement was minimal, perhaps an addition of just one or two percent.
Only the Great Technique of Pill Formation, despite being the most challenging, could massively increase the chance by thirty to forty percent once one reached the threshold for Core Formation!
Some might think it’s only thirty to forty percent.
Does it seem not high enough?
But if we compare it to Foundation Establishment.
With Foundation Establishment Spirit Medicine, an extra thirty percent chance compared to none at all means solely relying on aptitude and luck.
Luck, these kinds of things Luo Chen never dared to count on.
And as for aptitude, he had no confidence whatsoever.
It should be noted that during his Foundation Establishment, it took him five portions of Foundation Establishment Spirit Medicine to barely succeed.
Foundation Establishment was already that challenging.
Core Formation would likely be even more so.
And, the higher the realm, the more terrible the backlash in case of failure.
Luo Chen couldn’t guarantee he could endure multiple attempts at breakthrough by relying on his own foundation, like he did during Foundation Establishment.
But if he had the Great Technique of Pill Formation…
Inside the stone house.
Luo Chen, emerging from his cultivation state, pondered his chances of Core Formation success with the Great Technique of Pill Formation in the future.
The final result was unknown.
Because until he reached the Perfection of Foundation Establishment, he couldn’t predict how much more he could improve.
At least, he wanted to ensure that external auxiliary secret techniques could maximize the chances of success.
As for taking risks on the battlefield?
Once he made a decision, he would not be indecisive.
Along the way, whenever he faced a major choice, he had almost never backed down.
