I Borrowed the Great Emperor’s Brain

Chen Luo discovered he could scavenge the minds of the dead.

So he went to a graveyard and scavenge the brain of a deceased Great Emperor, figuring he’d borrow it for a bit.

While other...

"good."

Chen Luo also knew the price of the Qi-nourishing Pill, so he handed over the Tiger King Bone in his hand without saying a word.

"Brother, the sect has recently assigned us a joint mission. The brother from Tianming Peak discovered a medium-sized secret realm while slaying demons. Even the foundation-building elders were alarmed. Now the three main peaks are jointly exploring the secret realm, and search talismans are in short supply again. You can draw more and take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune." Huang Ying spoke immediately when she saw Chen Luo preparing to leave.

"Secret realm?"

Chen Luo stopped.

He thought of the Yue State Tomb where his hometown was.

To some extent, the Yue Tomb he escaped from was also a relic, a super-large ancient relic. The star-like tombs in the tomb were something he still couldn't understand. Even in the records of the Shenhu Xianmen, there was no description of the relevant formation.

The robber's hole that Changqing Zhenren led them into appeared after the changes in heaven and earth. Just like the "Great Dao Fifty Days Deviation Forty-nine", the robber's hole was the one that escaped. If it weren't for the robber's hole, Chen Luo estimated that they wouldn't even be able to find the location of the main entrance to the tomb.

"It is a relic left behind by an ancient sect."

When Huang Ying saw Chen Luo stop, she thought he was interested in this task.

"Brother, are you interested in this ancient ruins? I have a lot of information about ancient ruins here. Do you want to buy it?"

"Not interested."

Chen Luo thought of his hometown when he heard about the ancient ruins.

He had no interest in exploring secret places.

Don’t be fooled by the protagonists in novels and books who can kill all the enemies in the secret realm and return with a full load in the end. The real relics of the immortal cultivation world are a pit. There is a big gap between the ancient and modern methods. There is a risk of death for the foundation-building cultivators, and the cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm will be killed if they enter.

Unless you have the halo of destiny, ten lives will not be enough.

With this kind of life-threatening spirit, it is better to stay at home and draw a few more talismans. Although you won’t earn as much as from the relics, it is safer.

After leaving Chuangongping, Chen Luo returned to the cemetery in the back mountain.

“I don’t know when the pills I refine will reach this quality.”

In the room.

Chen Luo took out the black porcelain bottle Huang Ying gave him and observed the red pill inside.

Unlike the Qi-nourishing Pills he refined, this one had a golden border, which meant it was of the first grade, perfectly non-toxic. This was the level of the sect's alchemists, and if it were placed in the outside market, the price of the pill would be two levels higher.

Of course, if it is this kind of Qi-nourishing Pill refined by Chen Luo, then it would be cheap, and most of the casual cultivators would eat this kind.

A first-grade elixir is a luxury item for casual cultivators. One wonders how much effort one would have to put in to get one.

This is the benefit of having a sect behind you.

The alchemist who refined this Qi-nourishing Pill might have reached the level of a second-level alchemist. They are all masters outside, and if you want to get the pills they refine, you have to make an appointment.

After taking the pill, Chen Luo sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, silently practicing the seventh level of the Divine Art in his mind.

He already knew the contents of the technique by heart.

I had previously spent money to purchase all the mental skills from the first to the thirteenth level, which paved the way for the present.

The pill melts quickly after entering the body.

Then it turned into a warm current that quickly merged into his limbs and bones. His whole body became active, and the spiritual energy in the room spontaneously gathered around him and entered his body through his pores.

The four spiritual roots also began to absorb the medicinal power of the elixir and transform it into the spiritual power needed to improve the realm. The Qi Refining Level 6, which was originally stagnant, broke through easily after the power circulated for two rounds.

The seventh level of Qi Refining!

The so-called bottleneck in the late stage of Qi Refining did not appear at all for Chen Luo.

After his spiritual roots changed into four, his aptitude improved again, and he was now equivalent to a genius with superior double spiritual roots.

In order not to waste the medicinal power, Chen Luo called on the brains of two foundation-building monks. With their instincts in life, they could definitely use the medicinal effect of this first-grade nourishing qi pill to the extreme. Using the instincts of two foundation-building monks to help digest a nourishing qi pill was more luxurious than using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Over and over again.

Two hours later, the medicinal power contained in the elixir was completely refined. Chen Luo's cultivation of the seventh level of Qi Refining became easy and stable, and he also gained a lot of spiritual power. After a while, he would be able to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

After the late stage of Qi Refining, the number of small spiritual snakes in Chen Luo's body reached thirty.

It directly increased from the original nine to thirty. With such a large span, it is no wonder that there is such a big gap between the late stage of Qi Refining and the middle stage of Qi Refining.

Chen Luo returned to his life as before.

Every day, apart from asking Junior Sister Huang Ying to help him sell talismans, he spent the rest of his time practicing. In the morning, he swallowed the purple air, and in the evening, he refined the glow of the sky. His cultivation level increased steadily in this process. The fact that Chen Luo had broken through the seventh level of Qi Refining had completely numb Junior Sister Huang Ying.

She no longer wanted to compete with Chen Luo and was determined to curry favor with him, and she earned quite a bit of spirit stones.

The joint mission was a hot topic, and every day someone spread the news of the secret realm. Today someone got a chance in the secret realm and soared to the sky, and tomorrow someone got inheritance in the secret realm and obtained the ancient secret book. The most popular news was about Su Tianyao, the eldest disciple of Shenhu Peak. This "outer sect senior brother" who had met Chen Luo once, got a foundation-building spiritual object in the secret realm. With the spiritual object and his own accumulation, he broke through the level in one fell swoop and was promoted to a foundation-building cultivator.

This news stimulated all the disciples of Shenhu Xianmen. One adventure after another made the disciples who were originally on the sidelines make up their minds. Every day, someone applied for a joint mission to go to the secret realm, which made Chen Luo's already hot business of searching for talismans even hotter. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to rest.

Everyone who goes to the secret realm feels that they will be the next child of destiny.

No one looked down at the bones that had fallen in the secret realm. Compared to the "child of destiny" that they were concerned about, the number of people who died in the secret realm was the largest.

The exploration of secret places requires one’s life.

Opportunities are not that easy to come by!

Time passed, and several months passed in a flash.

It has been a year since Chen Luo and his classmates started school.

A year later, many people who could not adapt to the environment of Shenhu Xianmen chose to leave. Fu An was among them. Before leaving, he came to say goodbye to Chen Luo. Chen Luo simply said a few words to him and then continued to draw talismans.

The enthusiasm for exploring secret realms has died down, and he plans to take advantage of this last wave of enthusiasm to make another fortune.

The resources obtained from selling search symbols filled Chen Luo's pockets.

A few days ago he went to see Master Wuwei.

From this master, he learned the second magical power, 'Wind Control', which was the most adept innate magical power of the Crane Chengfeng.

"The second magical power."

Chen Luo sat cross-legged in the house, spread out his palms, and a ball of jumping wind blades appeared in his palms.

The learning of this magical power was much smoother than the soul technique. Among the two foundation-building brains that Chen Luo mastered, one was a master of wind control in his lifetime. After Chen Luo simply adapted to it, he was able to perform it.

The effect of the performance is even stronger than the soul technique that Chen Luo carefully imitated.

It is the perfect release method for foundation-building monks.

Except for the lack of spiritual power, Chen Luo's use of the wind-controlling technique has reached the level of a foundation-building cultivator.
