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...
Over the years, the Wu family has been trying to find a solution to this problem, but unfortunately, if even the imperial Zhang family can't solve it, how can they solve it on their own?
"Where is the Immortal Zhuxie?"
Yang Ding couldn't help but ask, he was already a little shaken in his heart.
This matter was more complicated than he expected. No wonder when he came in, the head of the Wu family would test them regardless of their reputation. At this point, the Wu family was basically on the verge of collapse, and their reputation had long been forgotten.
Survival is more important than anything else.
People who can't even solve those small problems in the yard are looking for death if they come in. It would be better for him to be kind and send them off early.
"At Zhang's house."
The head of the Wu family told him everything he knew, and the meaning was very simple. Either cure his son Wu Ling's illness, or go in and accompany him.
Several people subconsciously glanced at the squirming black mud on the bed.
I thought it was some kind of evil curse before, but now it seems that this is not black mud at all, it is clearly the water from the "River of Rebirth".
"Why don't you ask the Immortal Court for help? With the connections of the Great Immortal Zhuxie in the Immortal Court, this matter should be easy to resolve."
The bald old man suddenly spoke, and as soon as he said this, everyone's eyes fell on him.
"You are the Inspector of the Immortal Court, right?"
Patriarch Wu glanced at the man and spoke calmly.
The bald old man said nothing and tacitly agreed with the guess of the head of the Wu family.
"Someone from the Immortal Court came here three hundred years ago. My son has an obsession left by the Immortal Court messenger. Seeing that you seem to know nothing, you must have offended someone in the Immortal Court, right?"
The words of the head of the Wu family made the bald old man's face suddenly gloomy.
Seeing that he didn't say anything else, the head of the Wu family put down the teacup in his hand and spoke to Yang Ding and Li Hongxiu.
"I have explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly. You are all strong men who have passed the Garden Jade Path. Please feel free to use your skills. As long as you can alleviate my son's pain, this mission will be completed."
"Is it that simple? Master Wu is not afraid that we will spread this matter?"
Yang Ding's face looked a little unhappy. This kind of secret involving the imperial family is absolutely not allowed to be spread. If it is known by the hostile family, it is very likely to shake the foundation of the family. The head of the Wu family said it in front of several people, which is equivalent to dragging them into the water.
"This matter has long been no secret. It's just that you, the independent immortals, don't know about it." The head of the Wu family said calmly.
After hearing this, several people stopped talking.
People come from different backgrounds and have different perspectives on issues.
This is true in the mortal world and also in the fairy world.
"Who will go first? You can take the herbs in the box at will." The head of the Wu family stood up and walked to the two large mahogany boxes in the room and knocked gently.
The wooden box was immediately opened, and the strong aroma of medicine instantly diluted the rotten smell in the room. The scattered light attracted the attention of several people.
It turned out to be two full boxes of precious medicine!
"Let me go first."
Li Hongxiu took off the hairpin on her head. The immortal spirit around her gathered to a point and lit up at the tip of the hairpin. The white light painted along the void and transformed into a bright white alchemy furnace. She pinched the spiritual formula in the void, and three precious medicines shaped like ginseng flew out of the wooden box, followed by more than 20 kinds of spiritual materials flying out one after another.
"Resurrection grass, water-condensing ginseng"
Several people observed the spiritual materials used by Li Hongxiu and soon understood the elixir she wanted to refine.
"Congeal!"
Li Hongxiu paused with the magic formula in her hand.
The half-empty alchemy furnace stopped beating instantly, and circles of water waves surged from all around. These lights were like water balls. They kept compressing and condensing inwards. After a moment, a sky-blue pill appeared in the room.
"What a great method of refining the elixir with heavy water."
Yang Ding couldn't help but praise him.
There are many types of alchemy techniques, the most common of which is the spiritual fire alchemy. Through the temperature of the spiritual fire, the impurities in the spiritual materials are driven out, and finally the essence is extracted and kneaded into the elixir. The heavy water alchemy method takes a different approach, which focuses on the combination of medicinal properties. Using the characteristics of water, the useful parts of the medicinal materials are extracted, and then combined with the pressure of heavy water, the elixir is made with water.
It is hard to say which of the two methods is better or worse, we can only say that each has its own strengths.
"Give it a try."
Li Hongxiu ignored Yang Ding's praise, and after she got the pill, she flicked her finger and saw the pill pass through the restriction and landed accurately on the black mud.
“Is this for me to eat?”
“I want to eat!”
The black mud surged, and several faces emerged in an instant. One of the old women had the most ferocious face. She pushed aside all the contenders and swallowed the pill in one gulp.
hiss
The old woman's face, after swallowing the pill, was distorted as if by boiling water, and a large amount of black smoke rose from her body.
In an instant, more than 20 faces appeared. The noisy voices spread throughout the room, turning into circles of soul shock. However, all the people in the room were powerful people in the True Immortal Realm. The only bald old man who was not a True Immortal also had a magic weapon from the Immortal Court to protect his body, so the soul shock had no effect on them.
After a while, the screams stopped, and the old woman's face suddenly showed a smile, then she slowly closed her eyes, as if she had fallen asleep.
"good."
Sensing that the surface of the black mud had faded a little, a hint of joy appeared on the face of the head of the Wu family.
"Let me try, too."
Yang Ding raised his hand quickly, and more than fifty spiritual herbs flew out. After a surge of spiritual fire, three pills took shape instantly. Under Yang Ding's control, the three pills also fell into the black mud. After that, there was another surge of black gas, and three more faces on the black mud fell asleep.
The bald old man also refined a furnace of pills.
Although his technique was not as amazing as Yang Ding and Li Hongxiu's, the effect of the pills he refined was not bad. After Heini took them, his face fell asleep again.
'Heavy water alchemy.'
'Heavenly Fire Alchemy'
'The spirit can actually make elixirs.'
Chen Luo stood by, and the alchemists in the external brains were like watching an alchemy conference, with shocking thoughts constantly coming out. Most of these alchemists were brought up from the lower world by Chen Luo. Although they have grown a lot along with Chen Luo, they still have a lot of gaps compared to the alchemists in the fairy world. The only ones who remained calm were the two brains of the imperial clan that Chen Luo touched in the Skeleton Sect not long ago.
These two brains were also alchemists in their lifetime. Although they did not reach the level of immortal alchemists, they were also well-known alchemy masters in the immortal world. Although Li Hongxiu and the other two had good alchemy skills, they were still far behind them.
"You two, it's your turn."
Patriarch Wu turned his gaze to Chen Luo and Zhao Qi.
With the vision of the Wu family master, he had naturally noticed Zhao Qi's problem a long time ago. This puppet that Chen Luo had refined in the lower world had become less mysterious after arriving in the fairy world. Many powerful old monsters could see the clues. But they couldn't figure out where the true fairy fluctuations on Zhao Qi came from, and how he deceived the fairy formation's perception.
"No problem."
Zhao Qi laughed loudly, took two steps forward, and began to refine the pill.
His technique was very slow, and he only took one spiritual medicine at the beginning, which gave people a strange feeling. The people in front frowned, but soon this emotion faded. Zhao Qi's fire control technique became faster and faster, and his method of distributing spiritual medicine became more and more accurate. After a while, another finished pill flew out.
The effect was the same as the previous pills, successfully making a face fall asleep.
“It’s OK.”
The head of the Wu family nodded, approving of Zhao Qi's alchemy skills, and finally turned his attention to Chen Luo.
Among all the people who came in this time, the only one he couldn't see through was Chen Luo.
This person gave him a very strange feeling, like an old monster that had crawled out of a grave, or a newcomer who had just ascended to the lower world not long ago. He gave him the feeling of a 'young' old monster, and there was an indescribable sense of disobedience.
"My method may be different from the previous Taoist friends."
Chen Luo's eyes fell on the pool of black mud. Unlike the others who tried to avoid it, Chen Luo walked directly to the black mud and spoke to it.
"Who are you talking to?"
"Husband, are there guests at home?"
All the remaining faces in the black mud turned around, and more than a dozen faces looked at Chen Luo, their eyes staring like those of evil spirits.
"Madam, Dad asked us to treat the disease."
"I told you I'm not sick. Dad must be missing his child."
In the center of the black mud, there were two faces, one male and one female. The two faces were the youngest. The young male face was the one who had called the head of the Wu family "Dad" before. As for the female face, it only appeared after Chen Luo approached. (End of this chapter)
