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...

Chapter 129 Clues

The evil spirit in the mass grave was even stronger. Chen Luo could feel a chill without getting close to him. Gray fog was swirling inside, and black and white ghost shadows were faintly visible.

“This place is even weirder.”

Chen Luo stopped outside.

He could feel something different about the mass grave every time he came here. The old mummy ghost chose this place to practice, which must be a good place for him.

The evil spirit inside now is such that even a cultivator in the early stage of Qi training may not be able to escape unscathed. The last few times he came here, the female ghost inside dared to provoke him, and now it must be even more terrifying.

As soon as you step in, a cold wind blows over you.

The visibility at the mass grave was even lower, less than three meters with the naked eye, and there were countless pairs of eyes peering in the fog in the distance.

The scarlet greedy eyes were filled with desire for blood.

whee

The laughter of children playing echoed in the mist. Before he could move, a gray arm the size of a baby grabbed his calf, and the cold air instantly invaded him.

"roll!"

Chen Luo's eyes flashed, and the spiritual power of the thirteenth level of Qi training swept across like the scorching sun, and several sharp screams spread out.

After the hissing sound of melting ice and snow, the fog around them suddenly cleared up. It was hard to tell whether they were strong or weak. These low-level things were mostly aggregates of ghosts and resentment, and could not be considered real ghosts.

After walking along the old road for a while, we soon arrived at the tomb where the old mummy ghost was in seclusion.

This place has been closed for more than three years. It is overgrown with weeds and the entrance to the cave is covered by fallen soil.

If Chen Luo had not been here several times, he might not have been able to find this location.

"Brother Dao, wake up."

Chen Luo knocked gently on the entrance of the tomb a few times.

The sound mixed with spiritual power was transmitted through the tomb passage to the tomb chamber below.

Deep in the tomb.

A pale green flame suddenly lit up, and a dried corpse in the sarcophagus slowly opened its eyes, and a breath of murderous air came out of its mouth, forming a layer of frost on the stone coffin lid.

“So soon?”

After sleeping for too long, the old mummy ghost’s consciousness became a little fuzzy, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

After sensing the condition of his body, he frowned slightly.

The recovery effect was a little worse than expected, but he could still come out of seclusion. He stretched out his hand and gently pushed the lid of the sarcophagus.

Click

After the sound of the stone moving, he slowly sat up.

The tomb was the same as before he fell asleep, with almost no changes. Two corpses were still consuming the evil spirit beside him. The Iron Body Corpse had returned to its peak, and the evil spirit on its body had further improved. Black hair covered its body, and it was faintly showing a tendency to evolve into an Iron Corpse. The other corpse puppet refined by "Junior Brother" had also evolved, and some black hair began to grow on its body, and it had the strength of the late stage of Qi Refining.

"I'm coming down."

The sound from outside came again. Then someone was heard using brute force to open the entrance to the tomb, and then a figure fell from outside.

It was Chen Luo.

After mastering the Iron Body Technique, his strength was no less than that of an ordinary physical practitioner. He could lift a tomb gate with just one hand.

"The thirteenth level of Qi Refining?!"

Seeing Chen Luo falling down, the old ghost's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that Chen Luo had reached the same realm as him. Judging from the perfection of his aura, his spiritual power was not weaker than his. It was considered the peak under the foundation building stage.

"Has it been five years?"

The mummy old ghost asked in a hoarse voice.

Before he fell asleep last time, he told Chen Luo that he would sleep for five years. Now that he was awakened, it must be time.

"almost."

Chen Luo nodded.

Three to five years is about right. I'm sure Brother Ganshi won't mind a few days like this. He looks like he's recovered pretty well. It's time to give me all the materials to refine the foundation-building pill.

"Your cultivation level is improving quite fast."

The old corpse moved his body. He hadn't moved for more than three years, and many of his joints were rusty. This was the secret protection of their Corpse Cultivation Sect. If someone else slept in this place for three years, they would probably have become hard.

"After all, he is an alchemist. If he eats more pills, his cultivation will improve."

Chen Luo explained casually.

The mummy old ghost remained silent.

Eating more pills can quickly improve your cultivation, provided that your aptitude is good enough and there is no bottleneck. The old ghost had learned about Chen Luo's aptitude before, which was that of a medium-level third spiritual root. Why could such aptitude improve so quickly in the Perfection Realm? This situation was no longer in line with common sense.

However, since they were partners, he did not ask too many questions. It would also be good for him if Chen Luo was stronger. At least when refining the pill, he would be more stable and would not suddenly run out of spiritual power halfway through.

"It's almost time to refine the foundation-building pill you told me about before. Bring out the herbs and I'll help you figure it out."

In order to prove his alchemy ability, Chen Luo also took out the mutated version of the 'Foundation Building Pill' that he had been practicing for the past three years.

"This is the elixir I made through experimentation. The success rate is guaranteed to be 100%."

The success rate of the pill is 100%, but the medicinal properties are a bit strong.

Brother Mummy probably wouldn't care about this. After all, Master Chen didn't lie, and the success rate of making pills is indeed 100%.

So high?

The old ghost was startled, and his eyes fell on the pills in Chen Luo's hand. He was not an alchemist, and he couldn't see the tricks inside, but he just saw that these pills looked quite round and looked good.

"Have you found someone to try it?"

Out of caution, the mummy ghost asked one more question.

"I tried it, and no one who ate it had any complaints."

Chen Luo put the pill away again.

Seeing this, the old mummy ghost didn't ask any more questions, but he vaguely felt that something seemed wrong.

However, in his current situation, he did not have many choices. Alchemists were not easy to find. If he randomly found one outside, his alchemy skills might not be as good as Chen Luo's. After all, he had known Chen Luo for quite some time, and he had some understanding of his alchemy skills.

Thinking of this, the old mummy ghost reached out and took out his storage bag and flipped it with one hand.

A precious medicinal material appeared in his hand.

Many of these elixirs have already dried up, but some are still very bright. This shows that the old mummy ghost has put a lot of effort into collecting enough materials, and the time span may have been calculated in ten or twenty years.

"Spiritual herbs, hundred-year-old purple golden vine, thousand-year-old spiritual ginseng."

Chen Luo took the bag of herbs and found many herbs in it that he had not collected before. The old ghost had already collected four of the five main herbs, and there was no shortage of the remaining auxiliary herbs. There were many extra ones for backup.

"No Concentration Grass?"

After checking the medicinal materials, Chen Luo looked at the mummy old ghost and couldn't help asking.

He came here with such great hope, but he didn't expect that the old mummy ghost didn't have the Ningshen grass. Although there were four other main medicines, Chen Luo wanted the Ningshen grass the most.

"The Concentrated Spirit Grass is a controlled spiritual material, it's not that easy to get."

The old mummy ghost coughed twice. His injuries had not healed fully because he woke up early. The battle with his junior brother was too dangerous, and he almost became his junior brother's refined corpse.

"But I have clues about the Soul-Concentrating Grass."

The old ghost stopped talking at this point. This was something he had turned the tables on, so he naturally couldn't just say it out loud. Even though Chen Luo was in a cooperative relationship with him, he still had to be on guard.

"My injuries haven't fully recovered yet. I'll come back to see you in three months, and we'll go pick the Soul-Concentrating Grass together."

"good."

Chen Luo felt a little regretful, but he could accept it.

No matter what, it was good to have a clue. As long as he found the Concentrating Spirit Grass, combined with the spiritual medicine that the old corpse ghost had accumulated over the years, he would be able to refine a foundation-building pill, and more than one!

"Do you have any elixir that can warm up the internal organs?"

Seeing Chen Luo preparing to leave, the old ghost immediately spoke up. If you want to recover to your peak in three months, you must use some elixirs.

"have."

“Give me some.”

"Although we are old friends, friendship is friendship and business is business, and the costs still need to be earned back." Chen Luo flipped his hand and took out a small porcelain bottle from the storage bag.

"Three hundred spirit stones."

A pack of ten nourishing organs pills costs fifty spirit stones, and the market price is three hundred and fifty spirit stones.

Three hundred is already a friendly price.

Without blinking, the old mummy ghost took out a thousand spirit stones from the storage bag beside him and threw them to Chen Luo. Chen Luo took the spirit stones and threw the porcelain bottle over.

After completing the transaction, Chen Luo did not stay any longer.

The mummy ghost also began to recover.

Three months passed in a flash.

Soon the old ghost came out of seclusion, and when he woke up, he immediately found Chen Luo. When he came over, Chen Luo was learning the art of refining weapons in the yard.

After reaching the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, the growth of spiritual energy in the body stagnated. Chen Luo did not waste time and took this opportunity to learn the art of refining. With the brain of his ancestors "borrowed" from the royal mausoleum of She State, Chen Luo got started quickly. The magic sword that he had thrown away has now been repaired.

In order to strengthen the toughness of the magic sword, he also incorporated the iron needle magic weapon, the trump card of the casual cultivator Wan Mingyin.

"You can also refine weapons?"

The old mummy ghost was frightened as soon as he entered the door.

"It's just for fun. It's still a long way from the art of refining weapons."

Chen Luo took back the spiritual fire and put the repaired magic sword back into the storage bag.

"Congratulations bro for getting back to the top."

Chen Luo sensed the state of the mummy old ghost and congratulated him.

"If you don't enter the foundation-building stage, you are just an ant. If you haven't even touched the door to the immortal path, there is nothing to congratulate."

The old ghost had seen through it, and what he wanted to do most now was to break through and build his foundation. After so many years of accumulation, he didn't want to wait any longer. The appearance of Chen Luo was a catalyst, which strengthened his belief in giving it a try.

"How are you preparing?"

"We can leave any time."

Chen Luo had packed up his things long ago. For this operation, he drew a lot of talismans to deal with variables. Even if he encountered unexpected events this time, he would not be like last time, where he could only pick up brains and get nothing.

"Then let's go. The place where the Concentration Grass is is a bit dangerous."

The mummy ghost took out a jade slip and passed the basic information to Chen Luo.

A place that can avoid the "spiritual material control" of the three major sects is definitely not a simple area.

"Guoshan County?"

Chen Luo pinched his hand, and the contents of the jade slip quickly flooded into his mind, and the information about the Concentrating Spirit Grass also quickly emerged.

Guoshan County is a remote county not far from Mushan City. Mushan City is the nearest city to it. The old mummy ghost has been staying in this place. In addition to avoiding enemies and the environment of the mass grave that is suitable for raising corpses, the most important point is to keep this secret.
