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...
Chapter 112 Test
Chen Luo's expression remained unchanged, and he moved aside slightly, the bamboo stick in his hand becoming a residual shadow. With a bang, he easily passed through the knife light and chopped Hunjianglong's neck with the stick, breaking his spine on the spot.
Hunjianglong had the experience of escaping from the hands of the immortal master of Sheguo.
But that was a rookie at the first or second level of Qi Refining. If they didn't use magic, the gap between them and warriors wasn't that big. They might not be as good as Grandmaster warriors in a head-on fight. But things were different after the fourth level of Qi Refining. Cultivators who entered the middle stage of Qi Refining were already able to use spiritual energy to spread throughout their bodies, and every move of the warriors was incomparably clear to them.
Chen Luo is now at the tenth level of Qi Refining!
At this level, dealing with Hunjianglong and the other three was as easy as stepping on an ant. He was too lazy to even use any magic or supernatural powers and just picked up a piece of bamboo to get rid of them.
“Brother!!”
A trace of fear flashed in Lanjianglong's eyes. He didn't expect that his elder brother was so useless. Before he could even use his hidden weapon, his elder brother was gone.
The desperate anger was suddenly replaced by fear.
Will die!
"Don't kill me, I."
Before Lan Jianglong could finish his words, he felt a dull pain on the back of his head. He flew straight out and hit the wall, dying.
The three gangsters were dealt with by Chen Luo in the blink of an eye.
He had no interest in listening to this guy's nonsense. Since he had already come to his door, why waste time? He might as well just kill him.
The Qi family is related to his future tasks, and no one can help him.
"Master Xianxian."
A trembling voice sounded from behind.
It was Qi Boyun who was sleeping in the room before. He was able to survive the ups and downs of the Qi family and earn this fortune by changing his name. This old man was naturally not an ordinary person. He also practiced the Qi family's cloak sword. He had woken up when Hunjianglong and the other three entered the courtyard.
I had originally planned to risk my life, but I never expected that the matter could be resolved so easily.
The young man who gave him the painting that day was indeed an immortal!
"I have dealt with a few thieves."
Chen Luo smiled and threw the bamboo stick aside.
"Old man, you should go to sleep. Don't wake up the children in the house. I'll take care of the rest." Chen Luo had sensed that there was another person in the house besides the old man Qi Boyun. This person was breathing steadily, so he should still be asleep.
When he took action earlier, he set up a 'spiritual energy layer' to isolate the inside and outside of the house to avoid waking up the people inside.
"Then I'll trouble you, Master."
Qi Boyun breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw Chen Luo speak, he quickly turned around and went back to the house.
“It’s a shame to waste.”
Chen Luo walked over and put his hand on the head of the boss Hun Jianglong.
When he attacked just now, he specially spared Hunjianglong, and the stick hit the spine. The purpose was to see if there was any useful information in Hunjianglong's head. An ordinary warrior also has the value of an ordinary warrior. Anyway, he just broke through the tenth level of Qi Refining, and the carrying capacity has not reached the upper limit. At worst, he can give up this brain when he needs it in the future.
'Contacted with the brain waves of a dead person, damage level 7%, do you want to read it?'
Just as Chen Luo expected, the brain was intact, with only 7% damage.
"Read."
A brain wave surged into the palm of my hand, and familiar thoughts emerged.
'I want to eat meat!'
"My second brother is a bit cunning, so I can't trust him completely."
"The Qi family has a secret? The financial backer behind the organization is actually the Loose Cultivators Alliance."
"I will definitely avenge the guy named Su!"
After eliminating useless obsessions, Chen Luo found an interesting content in it.
"The Loose Cultivators Alliance? It seems to be related to the 'Outer Sect Senior Brother' Su Tianyao who made a breakthrough in the secret realm."
Retracting his thoughts, Chen Luo stood up and released a dust removal spell towards the yard.
The spiritual energy dispersed, and the remaining blood stains in the yard were instantly cleaned up by the dust removal technique.
Except for the gap created by the third brother Jie Jianglong, everything else has returned to normal, even the bloody smell is gone.
With a turn of spiritual power, three corpses flew to Chen Luo's feet. An invisible spiritual rope tied up the three people. Chen Luo had mastered the use of spiritual power to perfection. This was the instinct of the mummy's brain. With a light leap of his feet, he flew across the night like a bird, carrying the three corpses out of the city.
The wilderness outside the city.
Chen Luo's spiritual energy loosened, and the three bodies fell to the ground with a bang. He reached into the storage bag and a shovel and deerskin gloves emerged.
"How come this burial man's skills are becoming more and more sophisticated?"
A strange thought flashed through my mind.
Putting on gloves, Chen Luo began to dig the hole.
Dig a hole, fill it with soil, and bury people.
One-stop service.
After a cup of tea.
After filling the soil, Chen Luo stepped on it twice to make sure it was firmly buried. Then he took out a bottle of earthy yellow liquid and poured some on the soil. The liquid soaked into the ground, and instantly made the color of the pit the same as the surrounding area.
This potion was a corpse burying medicine prepared by his third uncle. Chen Luo prepared some himself when he was bored before, which showed that he had not forgotten the skill passed down by his third uncle.
"From dust to dust, from ashes to ashes, rest in peace."
Chen Luo recited this sentence out of habit, then turned around and flew towards the city.
The disappearance of the three Hunjianglong brothers did not bring any impact to Mushan Castle.
Ordinary people still lead their lives as usual, but the forces secretly related to the immortal cultivators have become noticeably nervous.
Gradually, more unfamiliar faces appeared in the city.
Chen Luo basically didn't care about these things. With the Hu family and the county magistrate's family as local tyrants around, it was not his turn to worry about these things.
After returning to the yard, Chen Luo lived the same life as before.
Practice Qi training during the day and make elixirs and draw talismans at night.
The fluctuations brought about by the improvement in cultivation gradually stabilized, and he began to steadily move towards the eleventh level of Qi Refining.
Half a month later.
night.
A group of men in black appeared in the wilderness outside Mushan City.
A strange man with a face as haggard as a corpse walked out from the crowd. When everyone saw this person, they subconsciously showed awe and moved their feet away involuntarily.
The mummy took a few steps and stopped above a charred piece of land.
He squatted down, dug out a ball of black soil from the ground with his bone-claw-like hands, and tasted it in his mouth.
"I was wondering why he disappeared. Turns out he was dead."
The mummy grinned, and a mouthful of black and green fangs mixed with a foul smell emanated.
The man in black who was closest to him had a flash of fear in his eyes and instinctively wanted to step away. But before he could move, a black hand pierced through from behind.
Phew!
Blood splattered everywhere. Before the man in black could figure out the reason, his chest was pierced by a hand. His red heart was still beating on the hand. Before he died, he turned his head blankly and saw a zombie covered with black hair. The bloodthirsty eyes looked familiar.
He remembered.
This person was a traitor whom he killed half a year ago, and he was also a member of the organization.
But how can a dead person come back to life?
"These are all corpse puppets selected by me. They have the potential to grow into iron corpses. It would be a waste if they died like this." The mummy took the heart from the zombie, put it to his mouth and started eating.
The cruel scene made many people tremble.
"Don't delay the important matter."
Among the men in black, a thin middle-aged monk said something dissatisfied.
He really didn't like this old mummy ghost. If it wasn't for the plan, he wouldn't even want to know this kind of person.
"nature."
After eating the heart, the mummy ghost touched a handful of blood and slapped the ground lightly.
Crash
The soil burst open.
Three skeletal arms stretched out from underneath.
And then, there was nothing.
This scene made the old mummy ghost somewhat embarrassed, and the middle-aged monk next to him also showed dissatisfaction. After struggling for a long time, he only found three arms. What was the point of looking for this thing?
"The method of burying the dead."
"What corpse burial?" The middle-aged monk frowned.
He had never heard of this profession, and there was no such profession in the Three Kingdoms area.
"It's an ancient profession. It's normal that you don't know about it. I also saw it in the ancient books of the sect."
The mummy ghost picked up a piece of skeletal arm and put it in his mouth and started chewing.
A crackling sound was heard, and the scene looked like a ghost from hell.
"The technique is good, but it's just a little bit lacking in skill. With me here, no corpse can escape my perception." After a moment, the mummy ghost threw away the extra hand bones.
"The smell of Shenhu Xianmen."
"Are you sure they are from Shenhu Xianmen?"
When the middle-aged monk heard this judgment, his face suddenly became solemn.
"No doubt about it, the person is in Mushan City."
The mummy old ghost stood up.
His job was just to find clues.
A few days ago, three people were missing from their organization. This could have been ignored, but the old ghost noticed something was wrong. As a collaborator, the middle-aged monk had no choice but to come with him. Unexpectedly, he actually found a clue during the search.
"Can you find where this person is?"
The middle-aged monk looked a little ugly.
The death of the three Hunjianglong brothers was a small matter, but the three of them were implicated in a plan of the organization. It was unknown whether these three guys had said anything nonsense before they died. For safety reasons, he felt it necessary to resolve this hidden danger.
"That's impossible. They used professional methods to bury corpses, which is more troublesome than burning them to ashes. They also chanted the mantra of rebirth, which cleansed away all the resentment on the corpse. If it weren't for the unique methods of our Corpse Raising Sect, you probably wouldn't even know that someone from the Divine Lake Immortal Sect had arrived."
After saying this, the old mummy ghost took his black-haired zombie away.
"Then find them one by one. The plan must not be leaked!"
The middle-aged monk took a look at the half-bone hand on the ground, turned around and returned to Mushan City.
The process of finding someone went more smoothly than expected. The day after the middle-aged monk and the old ghost returned to Mushan City, one of their men found the suspicious target.
"The house next to the Qi family was bought by a stranger?"
Looking at the news reported by his subordinates, the middle-aged monk frowned and remained silent.
Because the news also mentioned the Hu family.
As a local cultivator in Mushan City, he knew the importance of the Hu family better than anyone else.
The three generations were all outer disciples of the Shenhu Immortal Sect, and the current head of the family was a cultivator who had perfected his Qi training. This kind of strength was already the top combat power in Mushan City.
"Did you find out when he came?"
Putting down the information in his hand, the middle-aged monk asked a question.
"The earliest record was half a month ago."
The subordinates responded quickly.
"Go and try him to see if he is here for our cause." The middle-aged monk made a decision after weighing the pros and cons for a moment.
"yes."
The subordinates who received the order immediately retreated and began to arrange people to go and test it.
Chen Luo sat in the middle of the yard, practicing Qi Refining without fail. To him, killing a person and burying a body were trivial matters. What was really important was his own practice.
As the technique was practiced, the spiritual energy around him gradually calmed down, and the active external brain fell into sleep again.
One night of practice.
With more than a hundred external brains working in shifts, it is easy to imagine how fast Chen Luo can improve in this state. Normal people would get tired from practicing and their minds would not be able to keep up, but for Chen Luo, this problem does not exist at all. When one brain is tired, another one will take over.
After the training was over, Chen Luo opened his eyes and exhaled.
My cultivation has improved a little bit.
At the current rate of progress, building a foundation is not too far away, and there is no need to wait until the age of fifty to make the breakthrough.
After changing into a clean blue shirt, Chen Luo pushed the door and walked out.
Qi family old store.
This shop is Qi Boyun’s property in Mushan City. It was with the help of this restaurant that he bought back the old house that his ancestors had abandoned.
Chen Luo has been observing Qi Boyun and his grandson during the day these past two days.
According to the mission assigned to him by Wuwei Zhenren, Qi Boyun's granddaughter is his final mission target. If the other party has spiritual root qualifications, he will also teach her the skills and lead her into Taoism.
I found a random seat and sat down, and ordered two dishes and drinks.
After taking two bites, he saw Qi Boyun coming out from the back room, holding a pot of wine, sitting down opposite Chen Luo, and respectfully poured a glass of wine for Chen Luo.
"Thank you sir for saving my life."
After pouring the wine, Qi Boyun thanked Chen Luo solemnly.
The night when the three Hunjianglong brothers sneaked in, he was ready to fight to the death.
"They are just some thieves, don't be polite."
Chen Luo replied with a smile, then his eyes fell on the little girl who was keeping accounts over there.
"Yunyun is my granddaughter. Her parents passed away early, and I raised her single-handedly." Seeing Chen Luo looking at his granddaughter, Qi Boyun immediately spoke.
He knew that Chen Luo was a cultivator and that this kind of opportunity was hard to come by.
“When she was three years old”
Before Qi Boyun could finish his words, he saw two burly men carrying big swords walking in from outside.
After the two of them took a quick look in the lobby, their eyes immediately fell on Qi Yunyun, who was keeping the accounts.
The two looked at each other and walked towards Qi Yunyun with a lewd look on their faces.
Qi Boyun and Chen Luo, who were chatting, also noticed the two guys. Qi Boyun even stood up and quickly stood in front of the two.
"My two guests, just sit down and order your drinks. If you cause trouble."
BANG!!
Before he could finish his words, one of the two sturdy men took action and kicked Qi Boyun hard in the stomach, sending him flying and hitting the counter behind him.
"Your name is Qi Boyun?!"
