Chapter 124 Return

After reaching a cooperation with the new deacon Zhu Jie, Chen Luo's life became peaceful again.

In the room, Chen Luo took out the blood of the monster that he had refined in the valley. As soon as the blood was taken out, the temperature of the whole room rose by several degrees, and some insects outside the house became active, trying to rush into the house to devour the blood.

The biggest gain from this trip to the valley, apart from the few brains I picked up for free, was this drop of monster blood.

'Body-refining exercises supplemented with Qi and blood-boosting elixirs can achieve twice the result with half the effort.'

A thought emerged in my mind.

This was a thought that came from the brain of a Qi-refining Perfect Body Cultivator. In his cognition, this is how the body-refining exercises are practiced. The corpse-refining brain was much dumber than this brain. It was just madly reminding him to eat the monster blood and start practicing the "Iron Body Skill". With this IQ, it's no wonder that he ended up as a corpse-refining.

"If it's Qi and blood-related pills."

Chen Luo stood up and walked to the table, sorted out the spiritual materials he dug in the valley and the materials he had previously stolen from Zhou Tianyang, and quickly gathered the herbs needed for the Qi and Blood Pill. He had already learned the method of refining the Qi and Blood Pill. He had refined quite a few of them when he worked with Zhou Tianyang before.

The medicinal materials were distributed in order according to the proportions of the pill formula. The deer demon brain and the wood attribute foundation building brain gave a lot of suggestions in this process. Chen Luo also made detailed adjustments based on the cognition of the two.

Distribute the medicinal materials.

Light the fire and start the furnace.

After a cup of tea, the lid of the alchemy furnace was opened, and five round pills flew out of the furnace. Chen Luo stretched out his hand and grabbed the hot pills, which fell into his palm.

All of them are first-grade elixirs.

With the detailed combination of the deer demon's brain and the wood-attributed brain, the efficacy of the elixir is better than ordinary qi and blood elixirs.

This kind of elixir for the initial stage of Qi Refining is no longer difficult for Chen Luo, he can refine it with his eyes closed.

"Five is barely enough."

Chen Luo grabbed five pills and swallowed them in one gulp.

The entrance of the pill turned into a stream of scorching air, which quickly traveled throughout the body. All the blood and qi in the body were mobilized, the body temperature rose, and waves of heat were released. If he had obtained these five pills when he was practicing martial arts with Ma Quezi, he would definitely be able to successfully forge his bones on the first day and look forward to becoming a master.

What a warrior needs decades of hard training, a cultivator can accomplish with just a few pills.

After his qi and blood were fully mobilized, Chen Luo quickly activated the Iron Body Technique, grabbed the essence and blood of the monster next to him and swallowed it in one gulp.

The qi and blood that had been mobilized were completely ignited the moment the monster's blood entered his body. His bones and blood turned dark red, like magma. As if a volcano was erupting, an exaggerated amount of energy quickly accumulated in his body. The heat distorted the air in the room, and it seemed as if a dragon was roaring in his ears.

"Use your body to forge iron, and your bones to turn into stars"

Chen Luo controlled this energy and began to mobilize the Iron Body Technique.

Once, twice

"If you go through the hand Taiyin lung meridian, the movement will slow down. If you go through the foot Taiyin spleen meridian, you will strengthen the heart and spleen."

"If the organs are deficient in qi, you should do the exercises slowly."

All the external brains with physical training experience became active, and each one gave suggestions from their own perspective, allowing Chen Luo to avoid the pitfalls that a beginner physical trainer might fall into. Slowly, after practicing nine times, a trace of fierceness emerged from Chen Luo's body.

This violent aura is very similar to that of Lian Qiang from Shenhuo Peak.

"call"

Chen Luo opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air.

A burst of iron lung energy burst out from his body, nailing through the door in front of him. It hit the magic sword beside him, and sparks flew.

Chen Luo walked over and picked up the magic sword. This magic sword was damaged during the previous trip to the valley and was now on the verge of being scrapped. Chen Luo did not put it back into the storage bag. Now that it was spit out by this breath of iron, it was completely scrapped.

He held the sword blade with Iron Body Kung Fu and applied slight force.

Snap!

The already broken sword body was completely shattered into pieces.

"This Iron Body Skill has something special."

After sensing his body's strength, Chen Luo showed a satisfied expression on his face.

After a night of hard work, I finally mastered the Iron Body Skill.

The last shortcoming of my body has been made up, and the only thing left is to find a place to get some decent magic tools. It's a pity that I don't know how to refine tools, otherwise I would have made a set for myself.

A thought flashed through Chen Luo's mind.

Refining equipment.

Don’t worry, you will always find a brain that can make weapons in the future.

Another day of rest.

After completing a transaction with Zhu Jie, Chen Luo locked the door and left Mushan City. After wasting so many days, it was time to go see the mummy Taoist priest. I don't know how this guy is doing. I haven't contacted him for so many days since I came back.

It just so happened that he just needed to complete the last step of refining his body with evil spirit energy in his newly acquired Iron Body Skill, so he went there to do it.

After flying along the road for a while, we soon arrived at the outskirts of the mass grave.

Compared to the last time I came here, the evil spirit in the mass grave was more intense, and the area covered by the evil spirit was also expanded. Walking into the mass grave, the sky was covered with dark clouds again.

Gray, oppressive air flowed through the cemetery.

"Sir, I am so pitiful"

A voice came from the gray fog. The female ghost who only dared to cry beside the tombstone last time dared to talk to him this time. However, Chen Luo was originally a cultivator from Wudao Peak, and he was best at soul attacks.

The little tricks this female ghost had just learned were like tickling him.

Chen Luo stopped, looked at the female ghost in the fog, and simply changed direction and walked towards her.

The ghost girl's expression became even more charming when she saw this, and the gauze dress draped over her shoulders slipped down, leaving half of her body exposed.

"Sir, I..."

Bang!

A palm full of murderous intent pinched the ghost girl's forehead. The five fingers pinched, and the ghost girl, who was pretending to be pitiful the previous second, was pinched into gas the next second. The shattered gray gas scattered and fled, no longer daring to play tricks.

"You are so pitiful, why are you still alive?"

Chen Luo took a deep breath at the scattered evil spirits, and the scattered evil spirits were immediately sucked in. The cold iron evil spirit on his body was further improved. At this stage, the Iron Body Skill was officially advanced from the entry level to the minor level. The method given by the mummy brain was indeed useful.

'The essence of the monster blood is activated, and the evil spirit is used for cultivation.'

The effect of the Iron Body Skill is still very good at the moment. It not only makes up for his defensive shortcomings, but also has a great resistance to evil spirits.

The evil spirits and monsters around that had originally wanted to attack Chen Luo quickly dispersed after seeing this scene, allowing Chen Luo's ears to suddenly become quiet, and even the fog surrounding him became much thinner.

After dealing with these things, Chen Luo turned around and walked to the innermost tomb.

The evil spirit here was almost condensed into substance. Chen Luo saw many evil mushrooms outside the cemetery. This kind of thing would only appear in places where the evil spirit reached a certain level.

"Friend Corpse, I'm here."

Chen Luo stood outside the tomb and used his spiritual power to send the sound inside.

After a long while, there was some movement inside.

The stone door covering the tomb was moved away by the corpse puppet, and Chen Luo saw the corpse puppet that provided him with the Iron Body Skill. This corpse puppet was seriously injured, with the bones in the chest exposed, and the evil spirit and black blood were still condensed in the wound, making it pitch black.

“Ahem.”

There was a violent coughing sound from inside. Chen Luo followed the corpse puppet into the underground tomb. The underground tomb was as dark as ever, with only a faint green light shining around. The mummy Taoist sitting in the stone coffin in the middle looked even more like a ghost.

His face was as dry as a corpse, his skin was deeply sunken, and the few strands of dry hair on his head had all fallen off, and his skin was wrinkled like dried orange peel. Judging from his breath, this old guy must have been seriously injured.

Although he escaped from the valley, it was far from as easy as Chen Luo.

“You’re finally here.”

"Is he so badly injured?"

Chen Luo looked around the layout of the tomb. There were black evil flags inserted in the corners and entrances. They could gather negative energy to nourish corpses, and could also be used to recover from injuries. It was one of the most commonly used methods by the disciples of the Corpse-Raising Sect.

"Although he was a little injured, I killed that guy." The mummy old ghost grinned.

Under the cold green light, the old face looked particularly creepy.

"come out!"

The old ghost shouted at the person beside him, and a staggering corpse walked out. This person was the disciple of the Corpse Cultivation Sect who had stopped him.

Fellow disciples were unexpectedly turned into corpse puppets by the old mummy ghost, which shows how simple the Corpse-Raising Sect's tradition is.

"This kid has been bewitched by that idiot from the Loose Cultivator Alliance and wants to reap the benefits. He simply doesn't know how to live or die." As he spoke, the old mummy ghost started coughing violently again, but the hatred in his eyes could not be concealed.

Neither of them talked about what happened in the valley, and they both knew what the foundation-building spiritual objects in the valley were.

With their current strength, they could only look at the things in the Nine Poison Valley. They were lucky to be able to come back alive. Zhou Tianyang's fate had already told them the rules of the world of immortal cultivation.

"It's good to have revenge."

Chen Luo withdrew his hand from the disciple of the Corpse-Raising Sect.

Picked up another brain.

This Corpse Raising Sect is indeed destined for him! When I have the chance in the future, I must go there for a visit.

The old mummy ghost looked at Chen Luo strangely and didn't say much.

He had already seen this Daoist Chen's special hobby. It was harmless, they were all of the same kind.

"I'm injured now. It will take at least five years to recover. I won't consider the breakthrough during this period."

As he spoke, the old mummy ghost took out a piece of paper from the sarcophagus and threw it at Chen Luo.

"This is the recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill. You should learn about it first. It would be best if you could refine some similar pills to increase your success rate. I'm still short of one main ingredient. I'll find a way to collect it after I recover."

Before entering the valley, the mummy old ghost was still lacking two main ingredients, but now he only needs one.

It seems that the old mummy ghost also gained something from this trip to the valley.

"I'll do the work, don't worry."

After receiving the foundation-building pill recipe, Chen Luo took a quick look at it, and after confirming that there was no major problem, he put it into his sleeve. This was the deposit paid by the old mummy ghost, and it was also his sincerity.

With the pill formula, his path to building the foundation was basically smooth.

The two chatted for a while, talking about some recent events in Mushan City. Then Chen Luo stood up and prepared to leave, and the old ghost also had to continue to recuperate.

In order to kill his junior brother, he paid a great price. Fortunately, he won in the end, and everything his junior brother had was inherited by him. When he recovers from his injuries and comes out of retreat, he can consider impacting the foundation-building stage.

"Those old guys who forced me to flee to the country, please don't die."

The sarcophagus slowly closed, and the old mummy ghost's breath gradually subsided, and finally, like a real corpse, it was completely dead.
