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...

137. Chapter 137 Praying for a Girl

Chapter 137 Prayer Girl

"Where is Daoyou Chen?"

The mummy old ghost suppressed his anger. He waited at the gate of the medicine garden for a long time, but he didn't see Chen Luo come in.

The alchemist that he had found with great difficulty was gone. Even if he obtained the Soul-Concentrating Grass later, where could he find such a reliable alchemist?

"See if there is any Concentrating Spirit Grass here."

Wang Tianji, the last one to come in, glanced at the mummy old ghost and went to search for the elixir.

We are all cultivators who have reached the perfection of Qi Refining, and we all have our own goals. Compared to a stranger who has nothing to do with you, the benefits that are about to be obtained are not as real as them. Besides, didn't you run pretty fast just now?

Lu Zhaotian and Sun Ji didn't even say a word. Chen Luo was not familiar with them, and his death would not have any impact on them.

The old ghost waited at the door for a while, and after confirming that Chen Luo was "dead", he suppressed his regret and began to search for medicinal herbs. But after just two steps, he felt something was wrong.

This third medicine garden is too quiet.

After walking a few steps, he heard the sound of flesh being chewed. Although he was in the dark fog, he still instinctively felt the danger. It was as if a monster was gnawing on human corpses somewhere he couldn't see.

"Friend Shi Dao, do you know about evil spirits?"

For some reason, this sentence suddenly popped up in the mind of the old ghost. He remembered the question Chen Luo had asked him before.

wrong!

Daoyou Chen must have discovered something.

"Fellow Daoist Wang? Fellow Daoist Lu?"

The old ghost stopped and tried to shout. But he got no response, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger. Just when he was hesitating whether to retreat, Sun Ji's surprised voice suddenly came from the front.

“Concentrating Spirit Grass!! So much Concentrating Spirit Grass!!”

As soon as the voice came out, the hesitant mentality of the mummy ghost suddenly became firm.

He came here just for the Ning Shen Grass.

If he left here, where could he get the Concentrating Spirit Grass? Go back to the sect to exchange it? If he had the financial resources, he wouldn't have come here.

The old mummy ghost became ruthless and headed towards the direction where Sun Ji's voice came from. Out of caution, he summoned out the Iron Body Corpse and let him walk in front.

The other side.

Chen Luo looked at the path on the right side of the medicine garden. The sound came from the other side. To the left was the medicine garden, and to the right was where he didn't know.

As the sound approached, two figures slowly appeared in his field of vision. In front was a woman in plain clothes, with a look of panic on her face, running forward desperately. Behind her was a white paper figure chasing her. This paper figure seemed to have no weight. Every time it took a step, it would bounce nearly three meters high, and then slowly fall down. The weird smile on its face was like it was painted on it, which was particularly creepy.

'Paper man, resentful and evil, as thin as paper, likes to eat fear - Caotang Notes'

An unknown brain in his mind brought up the corresponding memory, which was a record of the evil spirits in a miscellaneous book he saw when he was in the mountains.

The benefits of reading more books and having a full brain are gradually becoming apparent.

"Guoshan County is really a den of evil spirits. I just got rid of a mountain spirit woman and met a paper man again." Chen Luo took out a piece of talisman paper and placed it in the palm of his hand.

“And this woman.”

Chen Luoduo took a look and realized that it was absolutely impossible for an ordinary woman to survive in Guoshan County. Unless she was an outsider like them, Lu Zhaotian and the other three local cultivators had said so before.

After Guoshan County was destroyed, only the three of them survived. In this way, the identity of this woman is easy to determine.

Anyway, he is not a human being!

Thinking of this, he took out ten more talisman papers and clamped them between his index finger and middle finger. As long as there was the slightest movement, he could give these two things a big blow.

"Sir, save me."

The fleeing woman also saw Chen Luo. A desire to survive flashed in her eyes, and she ran towards this direction desperately.

Getting closer

Chen Luo suddenly raised his hand, his spiritual power turned, and the talisman in his hand flew out. The spiritual energy exploded in the air and turned into a scorching fireball.

Explosive Flame Talisman!

boom!!

The heat wave spread out, and the flames turned into flowers, engulfing both of them.

The paper figure behind him screamed, and the ghost face he drew on actually showed a look of fear. This kind of evil creature was most afraid of spiritual fire, and the fire released by the Explosive Flame Talisman was just the perfect way to restrain it.

The body jumped into the air and started burning before it even landed. Ear-piercing screams continued to be heard from the flames.

Before its screams ended, Chen Luo, who was originally sitting there, disappeared at some point and appeared above the flames again.

Five fingers pierced through the flames and pressed on the paper man's head.

"No brains?"

Looking at the burning paper figure in his hand, a trace of regret flashed in Chen Luo's eyes.

I thought I could pick up another evil creature's brain, but it turned out to be empty.

Tear

When the flames were about to burn out, the paper figure that was ignited by the talisman actually gave up the burning part and tore its body into two halves. The remaining half rolled into an iron spike and stabbed towards Chen Luo's head.

clang!!

The iron spikes and the head collided fiercely. Chen Luo, who had practiced the Iron Body Skill, had an extremely hard body, and the paper man's sneak attack didn't even break his skin.

The force of the collision caused the two men to retreat apart.

The power of the paper clip man is terrifying, and has reached the level of perfect Qi Refining. Without the help of fire magic, normal physical cultivators may not be able to gain any benefit when encountering it.

The paper man reassembled his body and the expression on his face turned into anger.

After being beaten back, Chen Luo turned his hand, and two more talismans appeared in his palm. With the force of retreating, the two talismans flew out of his hand again.

bass!

The flames burst, and the two talismans sank into the body of the paper man that had just been reassembled, one above and one below. This time, they exploded directly inside its body. The flames mixed with spiritual energy burned the paper man through in an instant, and after screaming and rolling on the ground twice, it died.

"Although the strength is good, the weakness is too obvious."

Chen Luo walked over and collected the black ashes left after the paper man was burned. The ashes left by the evil creature might have some value that he didn't know about, so it was better to collect them first.

"Thank you for saving my life, sir."

The rescued woman walked over with gratitude on her face and bowed to Chen Luo. Her pitiful look made people feel soft-hearted.

Chen Luo glanced at the woman and ignored her.

This woman was very strange. He had just used his spiritual power to scan her and found that she was actually an ordinary person. This was a bit strange. How did an ordinary person avoid the flames of the talisman that just exploded?

The external brain did not give any other suggestions, which obviously involved his blind spot in knowledge. The only mummy brain that might know the answer was silent.

"Sir, can I ask you for a favor?"

"cannot."

After collecting the ashes, Chen Luo sat back under the crooked tree and refused without even listening to the rest of the conversation.

Ignoring this unknown woman, he continued to study the traces of the formation in Guoshan County. He had to find a way out as soon as possible. Otherwise, when Lu Zhaotian and the others couldn't hold on any longer, he might have to face the trouble.

The woman had a miserable look on her face. She took two steps forward and knelt down towards Chen Luo.

"Please have mercy, sir."

Before Chen Luo even started to move, the brain of the newly acquired Foundation Establishment Stage Formation Master in his body gave feedback.

'Prayer girl, if your wish fails and you turn into a fierce ghost, it will hurt your foundation.'

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Chen Luo was suddenly frightened. He no longer bothered to look at the formation and his eyes immediately fell on the woman opposite him.

"Seeking the Prince"

BANG!!

The moment the woman opened her mouth, Chen Luo took out twenty talismans, activated them all, and slapped them on the head of the praying woman. In an instant, the power of more than twenty talismans exploded, and the fire magic and thunder magic gathered at one point, blowing up the entire body of the praying woman. Not only that, but a deep pit was blown out on the ground.

Afterwards, he used a "Wind Control Technique" towards the place where Qi Nu exploded, and the exploding gale chopped the remaining body of Qi Nu into pieces.

After finishing, use the Dust Removal Technique to gather the shattered powder to one point, and use the Explosive Flame Talisman to burn it into ashes.

"From dust to dust, from ashes to ashes, rest in peace."

He took out a shovel and gloves, dug a hole and filled it with soil. Only after he finished reciting the formula taught by his uncle did the formation master's mind calm down, which meant that the crisis of Qi Nu was over.

That was a close call!

Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief. After this experience, he didn't plan to continue sitting under the crooked tree. This place was too conspicuous. God knows how many evil things there are in Guoshan County. If it weren't for the brain of the hanged brother, he might have been caught.

The evil spirit that could harm his foundation-building body was absolutely fatal to him at this stage.

No wonder the three major sects didn't deal with these things back then.

Too much trouble, and no benefit.

It's far less simple than banning.

After getting up and putting away his things, Chen Luo returned along the original route, preparing to go down the mountain and return to Guoshan County. However, as he walked, he felt something was wrong. When he looked again, he found himself back at the entrance of the Spiritual Medicine Garden. The three big words "Spiritual Medicine Garden" written in blood were silently mocking him.

"This formation is not easy to deal with."

Chen Luo glanced in the direction of the spiritual medicine garden, then turned and walked to the other side.

On the left is the spiritual medicine garden, and no one knows what is on the right.

Chen Luo walked for a while and found a garden gate similar to the bamboo gate of the spiritual medicine garden fence. Here he sensed another formation node. With this perception, he walked forward, pushed open the door, and stepped in.

There was actually a yard inside.

Opposite was a thatched house, with a small courtyard in the middle, and a stone table and stone benches. Next to it was a pigsty made of wooden frames. Near the entrance was a vegetable garden, which was where Chen Luo was standing now.

There were many seasonal vegetables planted in the garden. Chen Luo saw cabbage, radish, and some strange-shaped vegetables.

"Concentration grass?"

Chen Luo's eyes suddenly paused.

Next to a cabbage, he saw the Concentration Grass that they had been searching for. In this vegetable garden, the Concentration Grass was actually planted together with the white radish!

Chen Luo did not rush over to pick herbs, but first glanced around.

'No array node found.'

The formation master in my mind gave feedback. I don't know if it's because of insufficient knowledge or there is no formation node here.

Chen Luo took out the magic sword and slowly walked towards the location of the Concentration Grass.

The vegetable garden was not big, only about twenty steps in size, as if it was just a piece of land temporarily enclosed by the owner of the thatched cottage to improve his life.

I walked all the way to the edge of the Concentrating Spirit Grass without encountering any danger.
