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 116 Bought Seven Brains
"In the mass grave west of the city."
The masked man responded quickly. Those who were arranged by Zhou Tianyang to serve Chen Luo, the distinguished alchemist, were naturally smart people.
"lead the way."
Chen Luo turned around and got on the carriage.
The masked man in the lead immediately sat in the coachman's seat. After leaving two to watch the house, the rest followed Chen Luo to the Western Suburbs Cemetery.
The mass grave in the west of the city is where the poor people of Mushan City bury their bodies. There are dead branches and graves everywhere.
There were also some crows caw-ing in the treetops.
"Master Corpse is in the innermost grave."
After the carriage arrived here, it stopped moving in. No matter how hard the horses pulled the carriage, they would not enter the cemetery. The masked man had no choice but to stop the carriage and said to Chen Luo inside the carriage.
"You guys go back first."
Chen Luo walked out of the carriage, gave an order, and then walked into the mass grave.
After entering the mass grave, the air visibility dropped a lot. The originally clear sky turned into a dark cloud within the mass grave. The vision within the mass grave was also affected. The naked eye could only see about 50 meters away. Anything further away was all foggy.
Stepping on the rotten soil, Chen Luo walked slowly forward.
Woohoo
The cold wind was howling, and in the mist, it looked like there was a female ghost in white clothes lying beside a tombstone and crying.
Evil spirit.
The air is filled with evil spirit.
Almost everything you see is evil.
The temperature here is obviously much lower than other places. It is obviously a top-notch place for corpses, no wonder the old mummy ghost lives here.
Chen Luo stopped only after he reached the deepest part.
There is an excavated grave here, which is so dark and deep that you can't see the bottom at a glance.
"Fellow Daoist Gan Shi, come out and have a chat?"
Chen Luo stood in front of the grave and used his spiritual power to send the sound inside.
Click, click, click.
Deep inside, a bronze coffin was opened by someone from the inside.
The cold and mummy old ghost sat up from inside the tomb. He shook his neck stiffly and finally fixed his eyes on Chen Luo outside the tomb.
"It turned out to be Chen Daoyou."
The mummy old ghost smiled, but considering his face and the surrounding environment, the smile looked a little creepy no matter how you looked at it.
"Fellow Daoist, have you changed your mind and want to join my Corpse Raising Sect?"
The Taoist mummy stood up from the sarcophagus and walked out of the tomb passage step by step.
With his appearance, the temperature around him dropped a lot.
This old ghost's cultivation has improved again, and it is estimated that he has reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining. The Yangshi Sect's cultivation method is different from that of other sects. Their cultivation is linked to corpse refining. A powerful corpse can bring them great help.
"Let's not talk about joining the Corpse Raising Sect for now. I want to ask, are there any tombs of powerful people near Mushan City? For example, the tombs of foundation-building cultivators, or the tombs of Jindan cultivators."
"A tomb for building a foundation and forming a pill?"
The smile on the Taoist mummy's face became more and more intense; it was obvious that he shared the same hobby with others.
"Daoyou also want to refine corpses?"
"I just want to give it a try." Chen Luo replied.
"This kind of tomb is not easy to find." The Taoist mummy said inexplicably.
“Just because it’s hard to find means you can find it.”
Chen Luo immediately perked up. What he feared most was not being able to find it.
He had tried many times before when he was in the Shenhu Immortal Gate. The cemeteries at the Immortal Gate were strictly controlled. He was a disciple of Wudao Peak, so he could only go to the Wudao Peak cemetery. He was not qualified to go to the cemeteries at other main peaks.
Not to mention outside the sect, even immortal cultivators are rarely seen, let alone the tombs of foundation-building cultivators.
“Yes, I can.”
The Taoist Mummy nodded and said.
"Don't even think about the Jindan stage. Even if a cultivator of that level dies, they are treasures in themselves. Their flesh, blood, and bones are all top-grade materials for refining weapons. It's impossible for the sect to bury them. But I know a few tombs of foundation-building cultivators, and they are all near Mushan City."
I've only said half of it. The rest depends on whether you understand it or not.
"I hope you can help me solve my doubts."
Chen Luo reached out his hand and touched his sleeve, and a porcelain bottle containing ten Qi Gathering Pills appeared in his hand.
He threw it lightly towards the mummy Taoist priest.
As the black gas rolled up, a porcelain bottle appeared in the Taoist mummy's hand. He opened the porcelain bottle and took a look at it, then sniffed it and nodded with satisfaction.
Chen Luo was tired of eating the Qi Gathering Pill, but that didn't mean it had no value. When selling it in the market, the pills were all in short supply.
"Not bad, not bad. I have already felt your sincerity."
The Taoist mummy nodded with satisfaction.
After taking the pill, he casually threw over a jade slip.
Here are the tombs of the foundation-building monks that he recorded, seven in total.
"Near the Mushan City Spirit Mine?"
After Chen Luo read the information inside, he was a little surprised.
This place where people are buried is a bit sensitive.
"Three foundation-building cultivators from the Shenhu Immortal Sect, and four independent cultivators. Hehe." The old mummy ghost laughed without giving too much explanation.
Chen Luo understood immediately.
These people were buried by the Yangshi Sect.
"As a friend, I have a suggestion for you. You don't necessarily need to find the corpse of a high-level cultivator when you refine a corpse for the first time. For beginners, the corpses of mortals may be more useful than those of cultivators." After receiving the benefit, the Taoist Mummy's attitude was still very good.
"Thank you."
Chen Luo thanked him and then turned and left.
"It's not easy to obtain a top-grade corpse." Looking at Chen Luo's departing back, the Taoist Mummy's eyes flickered.
He had naturally seen the seven bodies of the foundation-building monks before. Their realm was indeed the foundation-building realm, but they were not suitable for corpse refining. The corpses required for corpse refining were not just the realm, but also the bloodline and bones, and they had to be able to carry evil spirits. The seven bodies of the foundation-building monks did not meet the standards. From the perspective of the Corpse Cultivation Sect, the seven bodies were useless, tasteless to eat and a pity to discard.
Now that Chen Luo needed it, the Taoist Mummy simply sold it to him.
Anyway, it's the corpse left by the sect, it would be a waste not to sell it.
Lie back in the sarcophagus.
The outer coffin lid was closed again under the control of the Taoist Mummy.
The cemetery fell into silence again.
Behind Mushan City, there is a wood spirit mine, which produces a large amount of wood-attribute spirit stones every year.
The tax revenue collected by Shenhu Xianmen here mainly comes from these spirit stones.
However, since the four great families joined forces three months ago, the spiritual stones mined from the mine were no longer handed over. They were "temporarily kept" by the four great families. When Chen Luo came here, there were many ordinary warriors guarding the place, and there were also cultivators sent by the four great families in secret.
Chen Luo also saw Hu Qiudao among these people. There was also a hidden cultivator in the Qi training perfection realm in the dark, which showed how strictly the four major families guarded the spiritual mine.
"There are also formations."
Chen Luo watched from the edge and found several hidden nodes of the formation. If he hadn't learned some basics from his teacher Chang Qing Zhenren when he was in the Yue Kingdom Tomb, he might have stepped into it.
“It should be right here.”
Chen Luo's target was not the mineral vein. After walking around for a while, he found the burial place of the seven foundation-building monks that the mummy old ghost told him about at the entrance of a cave at the back.
A deserted pit of rotten rocks.
If it weren't for the information given by the old mummy ghost, Chen Luo would never have guessed that there was a foundation-building cultivator buried here.
The battles between sects are far more intense than what appears on the surface.
It's like a spy war in peacetime.
These seven dead people were the victims of the sect battle. None of the seven people was a winner, and in the end, the Corpse Cultivation Sect took advantage of them.
Chen Luo took out a shovel and started digging skillfully.
Soon, Chen Luo dug out five half-mutilated bodies from under the stone pit.
There is still one body that has not been found.
I don't know if the old ghost remembered it wrongly, or if the man came back to life and escaped. For him, five and a half were enough.
The five corpses were laid out one by one. Judging from their wounds, these five and a half corpses all died from the sword energy. The wounds of each person were broken very neatly, especially the half of the corpse whose lower body was only found. The fracture was from the shoulder blade to the bottom of the thigh. The whole person was cut diagonally.
"I hope there is an expert in alchemy here, otherwise I will have to think of other ways."
Chen Luo took out a pair of deerskin gloves and placed his hands on the skulls of the remaining five corpses.
'I have come into contact with the brain waves of a dead person. The damage is 99%. Do you want to read it?'
'Contacted with the brain waves of a dead person, damage level 99%, do you want to read it?'
Five auras surged into the body one after another.
An unprecedented pressure appeared in the sea of consciousness, and the carrying capacity that was originally useless for breaking through to the tenth level of Qi Refining was instantly burst.
"Give up ten."
Chen Luo reacted immediately and skillfully abandoned the ten homogeneous brains, including Hunjianglong's brain.
After one wave, Chen Luo gave up another ten, and the carrying capacity slowly returned to normal until the number returned to one hundred.
Chen Luo heaved a sigh of relief and focused his attention back on the five newly absorbed external brains.
