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 1017 Yard

The middle-aged man in black is the current head of the Wu family and a direct descendant of the great immortal Zhuxie.

Unlike the immortals who ascended to heaven like Chen Luo, the Wu family has lived in the immortal world for generations. Both the father and mother generations are descendants of immortals. The disciples of the Wu family have far superior talents from birth. Natural spiritual roots are very common in the Wu family. Only those with mutant spiritual roots and special physiques can be considered geniuses.

These people were born in the clouds. They were born in the fairyland that countless immortal cultivators had to go through countless hardships to reach. Building a foundation and forming an elixir were as easy for them as eating and drinking. Only the transformation of spirits could be barely considered a threshold.

These people have never been to the underworld and have no interest in it.

If it weren't for the trouble in the family this time and the internal forces were unable to resolve it, they might never have come into contact with Ascendants like Chen Luo.

This is also the reason why most of the immortal cultivators have only heard of the imperial clan, but have never seen the strong men of the imperial clan. There are even many names of the imperial clan that people outside the world don’t know.

The inner courtyard is very simple.

At first glance, it looked like a farmhouse in the mortal world, and it was completely inferior to the majestic atmosphere of the fairyland. But it gave people a very comfortable feeling, and the spiritual power was not as strong as that of the Yuhua Immortal Gate.

“Heaven and earth spiritual roots, I didn’t expect to see the legendary blood orange tree here.”

Among the two true immortals who came in with Chen Luo, a female immortal with a golden hairpin in her hair suddenly spoke. Everyone subconsciously stopped and looked in the direction the female immortal said, and saw a two-meter-tall crooked tree in the middle of the yard. The tree was completely black, and two shriveled oranges hung on the top of the dead branch, without the aura of a spiritual creature.

"It's just an ordinary orange tree, it doesn't deserve such praise from fellow Taoist."

The head of the Wu family who was walking in front also stopped and explained with a smile, but the look he gave the hairpin-wearing female cultivator had a slight change. I think he recognized her insight.

"A blood orange tree that blooms once every two hundred years and bears fruit once every two hundred years can be considered an ordinary fruit tree. The head of the Wu family is indeed extraordinary."

The other True Immortal was a handsome white-haired man, wearing a long white fairy feather robe with sleeves hanging down to the ground. A faint fairy spirit surrounded him, flowing slowly like a water curtain, making his robe and hair flutter constantly, looking very imposing.

"If you can solve my son's problem, you can take the two blood oranges on the tree."

The head of the Wu family smiled, casually promised a benefit, and continued to lead everyone inside.

Chen Luo and Zhao Qi were at the end of the team.

Unlike the blood orange tree that the two True Immortals were focusing on, Chen Luo's eyes fell on the stone bricks in the garden on the right side since he came in. Those stone bricks looked no different from ordinary people's stones, but Chen Luo had the brains of Luoshi, the Stone Mother Goddess, the Stone Spirit and many other stone monsters in his body, so he noticed something was wrong the moment he saw those green bricks.

"Yin brick."

This kind of stone can only be found in places where Yin veins converge. Each Yin brick can be sold at a sky-high price, and it is the kind that is in short supply. Such an expensive material, the Wu family actually used it to build a flower bed. You can imagine how rich the Wu family is. Compared with them, Chen Luo, a casual cultivator, is not even a beggar.

"You actually have money! We must ask for more this time."

Zhao Qi was also jealous. He had never seen such an exaggerated wealthy man.

After passing the courtyard, there was a glazed tile corridor behind. When people stepped on it, it made a crisp sound like raindrops falling on a jade plate.

"A sound recording stone that can only be bought with 100 immortal crystals is actually used to pave the road?!"

The hairpin-wearing female cultivator and the white-robed male cultivator both recognized this type of floor tile and could not help but gasp. Others were also shocked by the scene before their eyes. This seemingly simple layout was actually just spreading immortal crystals on the ground. To be precise, it was even more exaggerated than spreading immortal crystals on the ground.

This time, Patriarch Wu said nothing more.

He led everyone through the corridor quickly and finally arrived at the innermost courtyard. After passing the round arch, he stopped and pointed at the jade path paved with sound-recording stones on the ground.

"Everyone, just follow the Jade Path and you will see my son. Remember, you can only take the Jade Path. Outside the Jade Path are the exotic flowers raised by our ancestors. These flowers have a strong sense of territory, so don't mess with them casually."

After saying this, the head of the Wu family gave a token to everyone present.

The token was made of white jade and was beautifully carved. A special formation was hidden inside. This formation was connected to the sound-recording stone on the ground to ensure that everyone could pass through the jade path safely.

"Isn't the master going in?"

The female cultivator with the hairpin frowned. She found the behavior of the head of the Wu family a little incomprehensible.

"Of course I will go in with you all, but the authority of the jade token on me is relatively high, so I'm afraid you won't be able to see me."

Patriarch Wu said with a smile, and then took the lead and walked into the yard. He did not walk very fast, but strangely, after only three steps, everyone lost sight of him.

Everyone was silent for a moment.

No one dared to go in rashly.

"Don't worry, the Great Immortal Zhuxie is an immortal who is on a temporary assignment in the Immortal Court. The mission we accept has the unique mark of the Immortal Court, so there won't be any danger." The white-haired male cultivator suddenly said with a smile, and then he suddenly raised his hand, and the white immortal power, like a rope, caught a one-eyed old man next to him in his hand.

"What are you doing?"

The one-eyed old man's expression changed drastically, and before he could finish his words, the white-robed monk threw him in.

"I'll give the first chance to my father-in-law. You're welcome."

The fog surged, and the one-eyed old man suddenly disappeared after entering the garden gate. Not even a scream could be heard from inside.

The white-robed monk frowned.

The mark he had placed on the one-eyed male cultivator was actually broken.

"If you could figure it out so easily, the Wu family would not be eligible to marry into the imperial family."

The hairpin-wearing female cultivator sneered, and without waiting for the white-robed male cultivator to react, she walked in alone. This woman's figure also disappeared in an instant, just like the one-eyed old man before.

What did this woman see?

The white-robed monk's face turned cold, and he subconsciously wanted to follow, but he stopped just before raising his foot.

He would never take the initiative to get involved in things he didn't understand.

'Nine Palaces Soul Locking Formation, the door to life is right under your feet.'

"The devil is inside."

'Evil spirit is growing.'

'There's a living person!'

Chen Luo's eyes flickered continuously, and thoughts flashed through his mind one after another, and he finally made an accurate judgment. The head of the Wu family did not lie to them. The jade token on his body was the seal of the gate of life. But there was one thing he did not tell everyone, that is, there was a person with a strange aura in the yard.

That person was wandering around in there like a wandering soul.

The one-eyed old man who was thrown in by the white-haired male cultivator was dragged into the soil by the breath. After sensing the breath of a living person, the plants in the yard all turned into demon trees and came alive, dragging the one-eyed old man into the ground, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

"Just pay attention to the trajectory of the wandering soul, and you can pass through the inner courtyard safely."

The female cultivator with the hairpin must have seen this point, which is why she dared to enter the courtyard the moment the wandering soul left the jade path.

The white-haired male cultivator over there captured two more people.

In front of the strong men from the True Fairyland, these people were like little chicks, completely unable to fight back.

"You two should go in and take a look too."

This time, the white-haired male cultivator gave the two people two different kinds of elixirs, and only threw them in after making sure that the medicines were digested. Seeing this scene, everyone scattered, and several people turned around and wanted to escape. But the layout of the Wu family was very strange. There was only one way in, but when leaving, it became three ways.

Every road is filled with murderous intent, making it impossible to determine what is true or false.

With their cultivation level, forcing their way in would be courting death. After realizing this, the remaining few people simply stopped trying to escape and rushed directly towards the garden gate.

Since the hairpin female cultivator dared to enter, it means there is a way to survive. (End of this chapter)
