Chapter 82 Scouting

After eating two pieces of meat, the relationship between the two quickly became familiar.

The cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage rarely eat these worldly foods, especially the cultivators in the Enlightenment Peak. Most of them are pure-hearted and have few desires, and they focus on cultivating their mind and character. They usually inhale and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Even if they need to replenish the consumed energy, they use the Bigu Pill instead. Only those losers who have no hope for the future and are ready to leave the mountain will give up like this.

Chen Luo could eat meat with big mouthfuls. In the eyes of the tomb-guarding disciple, he was a "wanderer" like him. It was inevitable that they felt a sense of closeness.

Come to think of it, if the future wasn't as hopeless as his, who would come to do the task of guarding the grave?

"Brother, how long have you been in this cemetery?"

Picking up the wine glass, Chen Luo filled it for the grave-guarding brother.

The wine was prepared by the brother who guards the grave, but that did not prevent him from offering it as a token of his gratitude.

"More than five years."

The grave-keeper burped.

"Five years? That's not a rule for the Immortal Sect."

Chen Luo was stunned for a moment. In his impression, if a disciple of Shenhu Xianmen failed to reach the late stage of Qi Refining within three years, he would be expelled from the mountain and could no longer walk as a disciple of the Xianmen. The cultivation level of this tomb-guarding disciple was only the sixth level of Qi Refining, which did not meet the standards left by Shenhu Xianmen in any way.

"In the Shenhu Immortal Gate, there is no problem that cannot be solved by spirit stones. If there is, it must be that you don't have enough spirit stones!" said the grave-keeping brother with a drunken face.

Turns out he’s a rich guy!

Chen Luo understood instantly.

The immortal sect has its own rules, but the people are the ones who enforce the rules. As long as they are human, they can be bribed!

Upon hearing that his fellow grave-keeper had stayed in the mountain for five years, Chen Luo instantly became excited.

"I didn't expect that my senior brother is actually an elder of our Shenhu Xianmen. I'm so sorry for my disrespect." As he said this, Chen Luo poured himself a glass and accompanied his senior brother who was guarding the tomb with a glass.

"I'm a shitty old man."

The grave-keeper brother said this with disdain.

"My little spiritual stones can only buy the status of a tomb-guarding disciple. The really rich ones can directly buy the status of the main peak and become the head disciple."

As he spoke, the grave-keeper spat in dissatisfaction.

His dissatisfaction with Shenhu Xianmen was written all over his face. Chen Luo wisely ignored the complaints of his grave-keeping brother. After dealing with them for a few words, he changed the topic to something he was concerned about.

"Brother, there are so many graves outside, have you cleaned them all?"

"certainly."

The grave-keeper brother raised his eyebrows.

"When I first came here, I also wanted to work hard, but it's a pity that this is a shitty Wudao Peak."

Another bunch of complaints.

Chen Luo forced himself to listen to all the nonsense before continuing to ask.

"Are those buried in these tombs all disciples of our sect? Are there any elders among them?" When asking this question, Chen Luo's voice became much softer.

If he could replace all the brains of those useless wanderers with the brains of foundation-building cultivators, his subsequent practice would be completely stable.

"Elder? You are asking about the foundation-building immortal cultivators, right?"

The grave-keeper was not stupid either, so he naturally understood the hidden meaning of Chen Luo's words.

"Mainly out of curiosity. After all, apart from my master, I have never seen any other foundation-building immortal cultivators." Chen Luo said embarrassedly.

"Hey! If you ask others this question, they definitely won't be able to answer you, but I'm different."

The grave-keeper looked very proud.

"The five years I spent in the cemetery were not in vain."

As he said this, he raised his hand and pointed to the southwest direction of the cemetery.

"Over there, the ninth tomb in the third row, is the burial place of a foundation-building elder. I heard that he died from going astray when he was trying to reach the middle stage of foundation-building, and only his bones were burned." The tomb-guarding disciple was full of pride when talking about the location.

When he first came to guard the tomb, he helped the elder to get some fresh air. He also helped the elder clean up the burial objects, but it was a pity that the elder was too poor and didn't make any money.

The Immortal Gate is so cold.

A foundation-building elder with no descendants, no one cared about him after his death.

After your peers die, no one will remember you anymore. As for being implicated, there is no need to worry. If the elder had a background, he would not be buried in this place.

"If you want to admire the demeanor of a foundation-building immortal cultivator, you can go over and kowtow to that elder later."

'Southwest, third row, ninth pit.'

Chen Luo wrote down the location and asked again.

It turned out that there was another foundation-building cultivator buried in the cemetery. In addition to the foundation-building elder who had gone astray, there was another one who died of poison. It was said that he was ambushed by the demon cultivator when he went down the mountain to do a mission. Although he finally escaped back to the mountain, he was unable to save his life and died silently.

Two foundation-building monks were buried on a small hillside. It was truly a Feng Shui treasure land!

I thought it would be safer after reaching the foundation-building stage, but I didn't expect that the foundation-building stage was not safe either and there was still a risk of falling.

Immortality is hard to come by, and each realm has its own circumstances. No one’s path to cultivation is a smooth one.

Apart from these two foundation-building monks, the rest of the tombs were filled with disciples at the Qi Refining stage, with more than seven floors filled with disciples at the late Qi Refining stage. The rules of the Shenhu Immortal Sect were there, and most of those who were not at the late Qi Refining stage were driven down the mountain.

"Brother, have you formed a pill?"

Before Chen Luo could finish his words, the grave-keeper looked at him with contempt.

"Do you know what a golden elixir is? It is an ancestor-level figure. Even if one really died, do you think he would be buried in a small place like this?"

"I'm just asking casually."

Chen Luo had a simple and honest face. He felt that he had no other purpose. He just wanted to help the ancestor of the sect to wipe his skull. It must have grown mold after being placed underground for so long.

"Starting tomorrow, the tomb sweeping mission will be handed over to you. Is that ok?"

After having a good meal and a few drinks, the grave-keeping brother decisively began to give up his responsibility.

He went to Huang Bu Tong to post the task just to be lazy.

"no problem!"

Chen Luo patted his chest and accepted the task.

Thus began the days of guarding the tomb.

In order to save trouble, Chen Luo moved out directly from the wing room and became neighbors with the grave-keeper brother.

Anyway, there is a lot of space here, so we can just clean up a thatched hut and live there.

In the early morning, after Chen Luo finished his Qi training, he conducted a simple "reconnaissance" of the cemetery, noted the corresponding locations of these tombs, and also found the tombs of the two foundation-building immortal cultivators.

After the dust removal, he went to the Chuangongping again.

He did not forget the task he promised Huang Ying yesterday, and he had already used up all the spirit stones he had paid in advance.

"Are you Chen Luo?"

A voice sounded.

Following the sound, I found a female cultivator in black waiting here. This person should be the senior sister from She Country that Huang Ying introduced. The talisman mission she mentioned yesterday was issued by this senior sister.

"Meet Senior Sister Shuang."

Chen Luo greeted him immediately. When he accepted the task yesterday, Huang Ying told him about the other party's basic situation.

"Can you draw talismans?"

Senior Sister Shuang looked Chen Luo up and down, her face full of suspicion.

The qualifications for drawing talismans are still very rare, and it is even harder to find among disciples in the Qi Refining Stage. She has been working on this task for more than two months, and still hasn't found a suitable person.

"meeting."

Chen Luo took out the practice talisman that he had prepared yesterday. Although it was not a finished talisman, it was more than enough to prove his level.

"Then you."

After seeing the practice work that Chen Luo took out, Senior Sister Shuang's expression eased a lot.

However, she obviously had no intention of chatting with Chen Luo. After confirming his ability to draw talismans, she took out the talisman that needed assistance in drawing and handed it to him.

"Use cinnabar to outline the talismans, and let me complete the core spirit-infusing steps. Is that ok?"

"no problem!"

Chen Luo happily accepted these semi-finished talismans.

Drawing talismans is a mind-consuming job, especially the final step of infusing them with spirits.

The talismans drawn by powerful immortal cultivators can perfectly infuse their own spiritual energy into them the moment they pick up the pen, thus exerting strength beyond the original body. There are also some top talisman masters who can make jade and gold talismans, which are not only extremely powerful but can also be reused.
