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 148 Success

On Wudao Peak.

Chen Luo became increasingly busy. In addition to practicing magical skills to lay the foundation for his magical powers, he also had to summarize the skills related to foundation building and use the mummy's brain to complete the deduction of the "perfect foundation building".

Two days ago, he successfully used the spiritual materials exchanged from the Loose Cultivator Alliance to refine some magical beast elixirs, and exchanged them for the magical beast foundation-building method from Xianhe Chengfeng.

The acquisition of the demon beast foundation-building method further improved the mummy brain's "perfect foundation-building" plan. The more than 30 foundation-building brains in the body now all became active, assisting the mummy brain to help him summarize the knowledge he had learned, compressing and summarizing it bit by bit, and extracting the essence.

The whole process is like removing the dross and retaining the essence, becoming simpler and stronger.

The change brought about by this refining was that Chen Luo's aura became increasingly hazy, and there were faint signs of him surpassing the perfection of Qi refining.

If we let the foundation-building brain in the body judge the success rate of foundation-building now, it is estimated that all foundation-building brains will judge it as "more than 90%".

"Five Elements Magical Power."

Chen Luo spread out his palms, and the five-colored spiritual power flowed in his palms. Now the spiritual roots in his body have changed again, and now all seven attributes are complete. Whether it is the 'Five Elements Method' or the 'Five Spirits Method', he can use it at will.

"Heart Demon Technique, Wind Control Technique"

After dispersing the power of the five elements, Chen Luo released two more magical powers. Like the previous five elements magical powers, they became extremely pure.

One magical power after another emerged from his palm and then dissipated.

Chen Luo is very clear about what he is doing now and the path he will take in the future.

For a cultivator, the further he practices, the more magical powers he needs to master, and the wider the scope of his practice. The legendary immortals are proficient in elixirs, arrays, talismans, and instruments. The Taoist immortals described by the immortals are alchemists who have refined innate spiritual treasures, controlled the Hunyuan Yiqi array, and drawn the Liangyi talisman. Chen Luo didn't know what the top immortals were like, but working towards this direction would definitely not be wrong.

For ordinary immortal cultivators, this step is difficult to complete, because low-level immortal cultivators have limited lifespans and energy, and are also affected by external factors such as qualifications and spiritual energy.

But Chen Luo did not have this problem. With an external brain, he could practice all-round cultivation from the very beginning. He could borrow the genius brains of the most outstanding people in each field, combine them together, surpass the past, and prove himself to be the strongest.

Of course, all of these require time to accumulate and the assistance of more excellent brains.

Opportunities come quickly.

Chen Luo originally calculated that it would take him at least three years to build his foundation, but he never expected that the opportunity would come to him in just half a month.

"Brother, I am really surprised that you have already cultivated to the perfection of Qi Refining. If I had come back a little later, would I have to call you Uncle Master?"

Bai Su looked the same as she did before she came down the mountain, dressed in a plain white gauze dress, with the golden bells on her waist and hands trembling slightly, making pleasant sounds.

"I wonder why Senior Sister Bai Su came to see me?"

Chen Luo was a little surprised by this visitor.

Chen Luo was deeply impressed by his senior sister Bai Su. Not only was she beautiful, but most importantly, the aura around Bai Su gave people an unfathomable feeling, like mist that kept changing.

Even at this point today, he still couldn't see the secret of Bai Su clearly.

This senior sister, like her master Wuwei Zhenren, has secrets.

"The place where Junior Brother lives is really quiet. If it wasn't for the old guy's reminder, I wouldn't have known that people could live here."

Bai Su did not answer Chen Luo's question, but walked to the door and looked at the cemetery outside.

Looking around, there are graves everywhere.

The wind was cold and cold, and people who didn't know the situation would think that Chen Luo was being put in solitary confinement.

Chen Luo remained silent. He knew that Bai Su must have come to see him for a reason.

"I heard from the old man that you have been to Guoshan County?"

Bai Su's figure flashed, a white shadow flashed in the room, a white veil floated by, and when she looked again, she was already opposite Chen Luo.

The slender jade hand was supporting her chin as she looked at Chen Luo with curiosity.

The sound of bells still lingered in the wind.

"Did the old man tell you that I am also from Guoshan County?"

Bai Su looked at Chen Luo and said with a smile.

After saying this, Chen Luo paused for a moment.

Is Bai Su from Guoshan County?

Why don’t the mummy old ghosts remember it?

"I heard from Xiaoxia that you have been purchasing the evil cultivation foundation-building method recently."

Bai Su looked at it for a while, then seemed bored and stood up to walk around again. Her slender feet made no sound when she walked on the ground, except for the bells on her body that swayed gently.

"Senior sister, do you have an evil foundation-building method?"

Chen Luo asked.

He is now only one step away from "perfectly building the foundation".

"Yes, I have."

Bai Su replied with a smile.

"Didn't I come here just to trade with you? Speaking of which, I'm also very curious about you. With your current state, you should have been able to break through and build your foundation a long time ago. Why are you still waiting?"

"Isn't it the same for Senior Sister?"

Chen Luo asked back.

He remembered that he had heard rumors about Bai Su a long time ago. At that time, Bai Su was already a cultivator at the Perfect Qi Refining Stage. But after so many years, Bai Su was still at the Perfect Qi Refining Stage, as if he was not in a hurry to break through the barriers and build his foundation.

I didn’t think it was a big deal before, but now when I think back on it, it seems a little abnormal.

Perhaps Bai Su, like him, has higher ambitions.

"My junior brother and I are a little different." Bai Su replied, but did not elaborate.

She flipped her hand, and a jade slip with black gas appeared in her palm. After what happened in Guoshan County, Chen Luo could tell the origin of the aura on the jade slip at a glance. It was almost exactly the same as the evil foundation-building cultivator in the courtyard of Guoshan County.

"I want my junior brother to do me a favor."

Bai Su placed the jade slip on the table and began to state her request.

"I heard that Junior Brother is an alchemist."

"Yes."

Chen Luo nodded in acknowledgment.

"I have a special elixir here that requires a top-level first-level alchemist to refine." As Bai Su spoke, he took out a pill formula and waved it lightly. The formula automatically fell into Chen Luo's hands.

"Sister, why don't you go to Yaowang Peak? There are many alchemists there who are better than me."

"No, the old man doesn't agree."

Bai Su's face was full of resentment. The old man she was talking about was most likely Wuwei Zhenren.

After talking for so long, Chen Luo roughly understood some of the content.

The relationship between this Senior Sister Bai Su and Master Wuwei Zhenren is probably more complicated than people outside speculate. But these things have nothing to do with him, he only cares about what he wants.

As long as the evil cultivator has mastered the foundation-building method, it will be no problem to refine any kind of elixir.

Chen Luo looked down at the recipe.

"For the marriage elixir, you need three grams of forget-me-not flowers and two bottles of rootless water, supplemented with"

This is a very ancient recipe, which contains many terms that are no longer used in the current world of immortal cultivation. Fortunately, Chen Luo has also learned the ancient alchemy technique and can roughly understand this recipe.

However, this recipe is different from other elixirs. It neither improves spiritual power nor increases character, and it does not even have any effect on blood circulation. It is completely like a useless pill. This kind of property will make any alchemist have a lot of questions in his head.

"Can I practice it?"

"Can."

Chen Luo accepted the recipe and nodded.

The customer is God, as long as he is willing to pay!

"That's fine."

Bai Su readily put the materials needed for the exercises and elixirs on the table. She was not worried at all that Chen Luo was fooling her, nor was she worried that this junior brother would run away with the money.

"I'll come get the elixir in three days."

After Bai Su finished speaking, she turned around. When Chen Luo came to his senses, she had already left, and only the sound of the bell drifted away in the wind.

"This marriage pill, isn't it the kind of marriage pill I understand?"

Chen Luo picked up the recipe again and began to study it. As for the foundation-building evil cultivation technique, he asked the mummy brain to start studying it as soon as he got it. The mummy brain has been very active recently, so it's just right to add to the burden.

He was refining the elixir on his own side, and both sides were doing the process at the same time without affecting each other.

That's the good thing about having a lot of brains.

night.

The cold wind was howling, the candlelight in the house was swaying, and the black shadows were reflected on the wall.

Chen Luo sat in the alchemy room and began to make the elixir. The "Marriage Pill" given by Bai Su was a little special. It had requirements for the time of alchemy. There were several techniques on it, and it also used the immortal text knowledge that Changqing Zhenren taught him when he was in the Yue Kingdom Tomb.

In other words, I met him. If I were someone else, I might not be able to make the marriage pill. Even a second-level alchemist couldn't do it!

'High heat raises the temperature.'

In his mind, the Qi Refining Realm brain responsible for refining the elixir quickly gave feedback. Now the Qi Refining Realm brain was with Chen Luo and could only be used to help.

'Put the herbs in three batches and pay attention to temperature control.'

'There is a conflict in pharmacology, so it is best to put the rootless water in last.'

The deer demon's brain and the wood-attributed foundation-building cultivator's brain also gave their opinions one after another.

Chen Luo raised his right hand, and magical spells kept flying out of his hand.

The alchemy furnace rotated and slowly turned dark red under his control, with waves of heat coming out of the furnace.

'Woo woo.'

When Chen Luo picked up a dark red stone, he heard the sound of a woman crying. He couldn't help but take a closer look and found that the shape of this red stone was like a teardrop.

"These aren't really someone's tears, are they? I don't know how these herbs were collected."

Suppressing his doubts, Chen Luo threw the stone in his hand into the alchemy furnace according to the analysis of the deer monster's brain.

In his right hand, he cast a spell again, and his spiritual power suddenly reached its limit.

The flame in the alchemy furnace below burned directly to a white-hot color, and the furnace began to shake. The furnace cover kept shaking, as if the furnace would explode at any time.

Chen Luo controlled the output of spiritual power, raised his left hand into the air, took out a light yellow talisman, and threw it at the stove.

"town!"

Only a cultivator like Chen Luo who is proficient in talisman making and alchemy would dare to use talismans in the process of alchemy. If someone else were to do this, the furnace would definitely explode.

As the talisman burned, the temperature on the furnace surface was quickly suppressed, and all the temperature was locked inside the furnace. Taking advantage of this process, Chen Luo used his spiritual power to create a fairy text, and hit it on the furnace like the talisman.

The two forces isolate the inside and outside of the alchemy furnace.

The scorching heat burned the spiritual medicine inside into a ball. During this gap, Chen Luo threw the last portion of spiritual material, rootless water, into it.

The water evaporated instantly as soon as it entered the furnace, but an unknown gas remained, which was slowly absorbed by the medicine liquid. Under Chen Luo's control, it condensed into a pill bit by bit.

The fire temperature slowly decreased during this process, from high heat to low heat, and the volume of the medicinal liquid became smaller and smaller, until finally the essence parts merged together and turned into a blood-red pill.

"It's done."

Chen Luo withdrew his spiritual power and controlled the alchemy furnace to slowly fall to the ground.

He didn't feel relieved until the medicine was condensed into a pill.

The alchemy technique that combined ancient methods and immortal texts was something he came up with on a whim, and the effect seemed pretty good, at least the furnace didn't explode.

Taking out the pill, Chen Luo placed it in the palm of his hand, and examined it carefully for a long time, but could not see anything special about it.

"Forget it, I've settled a deal, and the rest is my own business."

After putting the pill away and sealing it with wax, Chen Luo let out a breath.

Go outside.

The back mountain is even quieter under the night, with no other sound except the chirping of insects.

Looking up, the sky is full of stars.

Only when he stood under the starry sky could he feel the vastness of the sky. Compared with this boundless world of immortal cultivation, the immortal cultivators were just floating in the sky during the day, not knowing the heat of summer or the cold of winter.

"The success rate of foundation building is 10th level, the success rate of Dan formation is 7th level, and the success rate of infant formation is 5th level."

In his mind, with the help of more than thirty foundation-building brains, the mummy brain finally integrated the exercises and figured out a path of practice that was unique to him.

"Building the foundation"

Chen Luo withdrew his gaze and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
