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 169: Yin Thunder Curse
"trade?"
Madam Bai Gu was not surprised. Chen Luo was also a foundation-building cultivator. If he was ambushed so easily, then his death would be in vain and he would have no right to talk to her.
"After all these years, you are still the first person who comes up the mountain to negotiate a deal with me." Madam Bai Gu looked at Chen Luo. There was an evil aura emanating from the other person, and it was obvious that he was a fellow traveler.
"I want to buy some snack stones from Madam. It's a simple transaction. It will benefit both you and me."
As he spoke, Chen Luo took out the belongings of the three wandering cultivators he had killed in the mountain city. Among them was a storage bag full of evil spirit beads. This thing was of no use to him, so he just used it for exchange.
"Heart Stone? This thing is not cheap, I need it myself."
"The price is negotiable!"
With Elder An's wallet as a backing, Chen Luo was very confident in what he said.
These words made Mrs. Bai Gu silent, and she stared at Chen Luo for a moment. The evil grey fog kept surging around, as if it was deciding whether to take action or not. After weighing the pros and cons, Mrs. Bai Gu gave up the tempting idea in her mind. If it had been a hundred years earlier, she would have attacked Chen Luo without hesitation. She would have wanted both the person and the spirit stone! But now she is not as strong as she was in her peak period. At over 400 years old, she is already on the decline. If she fights with someone of the same level, she may shorten her lifespan if she is not careful.
The most important thing is that Chen Luo gave her a very strange feeling, and she couldn't tell his depth for a while.
"Madam occupies the White Bone Ridge anyway, and there will be an output of Heart Essence Stones every year. One more or one less will not affect the overall situation."
"The Heart Stone is related to my White Bone Technique."
"Only by continuing to improve your strength can you prolong your life. Baiguling is not 100% safe. Madam should know this better than me." Chen Luo said sincerely.
Seeing that Madam Bai Gu didn't say anything, he took out a gourd of Qi Gathering Pills from his storage bag, plus a small bag of high-quality spirit stones, which together were worth nearly ten thousand spirit stones.
"I'll sell you five at most, and I need a higher-level pill."
Madam Bai Gu was shaken. In the land of evil cultivators, elixirs are the most precious things. Because there is no one here to train alchemists, all the elixirs circulating on the market are sold by lone alchemists, who charge extremely high prices and are in short supply.
Even for foundation building, those who practiced cultivation in the evil lands all used spiritual objects for foundation building. In this respect, they were far behind those in the seven countries.
"Thirty."
Chen Luo estimated the amount of Yang Yuan Dan he would need to refine. To be enough for his own cultivation, he would need at least thirty pills.
"Thirty pills are too many, and the quality of your pills is not high."
“What about adding this? A first-grade top-grade Soul-Building Pill, which is the most perfect pill below the Foundation-Building Pill. Even for people at our level, it can play a big role.” Chen Luo took out the Soul-Building Pill he had developed himself.
This medicine has not been circulated much since it was sold in Mushan City. Now is a good time to sell it at a good price.
"Spirit-building pill?"
Madam Bai Gu is not an alchemist and is not familiar with the types of elixirs. After hearing that it was a top-grade first-grade elixir, I couldn't help but feel excited.
Baiguling is so big that there are quite a few Heart Essence Stones collected.
She can still afford to give some of it out in exchange.
"Give me one to try first."
After several conversations, the two sides established initial trust. Madam Bai Gu dispersed the two Foundation Establishment Stage bone puppets at the entrance of the cave, and her attitude became much better.
"I also need to confirm the authenticity of the Heart Stone."
After the deal was done, the two men took out something and threw it to each other. Chen Luo reached out and caught the Heart Yuan Stone that flew over.
A fist-sized white stone, warm to the touch, the surface of the stone is very soft and somewhat elastic like rubber, and its shape resembles a heart. No wonder it is called the 'Heart Stone'.
'Medicinal materials for alchemy are produced in evil places and need to be watered with human blood and nurtured with bone powder. '
Among the external brains, the most knowledgeable mummy brain confirmed the authenticity of the thing. No one knew what this mummy's brain was used for when he was alive, but he knew everything about elixirs, weapons, formations and talismans, and was proficient in them all.
Lady White Bone opposite also swallowed the pill. She had been practicing for more than 400 years and was a white bone Dharma body, so she was not afraid of evil magic or poison.
The Spirit Building Pill that has amazing effects on Qi Refining cultivators is not as good as it could be for Foundation Building cultivators. After eating it, Mrs. Bai Gu briefly sensed it and there was a hint of dissatisfaction on her face.
“Just enough.”
Second-level elixirs are too hard to find, so being able to exchange them for some first-level elixirs is considered an unexpected gain. According to the prior agreement, the two exchanged the items in their hands and completed the transaction.
"I also want to ask Madam about a few things. I can pay for them at market price."
As Chen Luo spoke, he took out another gourd of Zhuling Pills.
Seeing such a heroic act, the murderous intent that Madam Bai Gu had suppressed with great difficulty surged up again. If I slaughter such a wealthy monk and turn him into bones, wouldn't everything belong to me?
"By the way, do you want some talismans, Madam? I have quite a few here, as well as formation flags and magic weapons." Chen Luo on the opposite side seemed to be unaware of anything. He first took out a thick stack of talismans, a formation flag, and Elder An's second-level magic seal.
Once so many things were taken out, the spiritual energy dispersed all the evil spirits around.
Madam Bai Gu was silent for a moment and suppressed her murderous intent again.
"What's up?"
"I want to know where I can buy soul-nourishing grass and three-flowered insects, as well as information on third-level spirit veins and Dan-forming stage exercises."
Chen Luo spoke.
The first two spiritual materials are the main ingredients for refining the Soul-Enriching Pill and the Jade Bone Pill. The third-level spiritual veins and the Dan-forming stage exercises are preparations for the later stages. He came to the evil cultivation land just to find an opportunity to form a pill. There is a third-level spiritual vein in the evil cultivation area. This is what his master, Master Wuwei, told him, and the information must be correct.
"I haven't heard of the first two things. As for the third-order spirit veins and the elixir-forming technique." A hint of sarcasm flashed in Mrs. Bai Gu's eyes.
Want to form a pill?
Who doesn’t want to form a pill when building the foundation? But how many people can actually form a pill? A feeling of malice rose in Mrs. Bai Gu's heart. She really wanted to see Chen Luo's expression after his pleading was in vain.
"I can tell you for free that the Dan-forming technique and the third-order spirit veins are not secrets. There is only one place in the entire mountain area that has these two things, and that is Black Stone City where Master Black Stone is!"
Knowing does not mean being able to get it. Every year, countless cultivators gather in Black Stone City, but after so many years, I have never heard of anyone succeeding.
"Thank you ma'am."
The transaction was completed and Chen Luo did not stay any longer. Seeing that Mrs. Bai Gu had no intention of keeping him for dinner, he turned around and walked down the mountain.
Madam White Bone stood on the top of the mountain, looking at Chen Luo until his back was completely covered by the evil spirit. The evil spirit in her eyes slowly disappeared, and her body shattered and turned into white bones again, hiding in the evil gray fog.
Black Rock City is not far away.
There is a cross-domain flying boat to Black Stone City in Baiguling. The cross-domain flying boat in Baiguling is very unique. It is a huge bird skeleton with dense array patterns painted on it. There is also a ball of white flame burning at the core position, like a power source.
Chen Luo studied it for a while, and after confirming that he couldn't understand it, he didn't waste any more time.
Half a day later.
The flying boat landed in Black Rock City.
The huge city was built on a high mountain, surrounded by cliffs. Countless monsters and evil creatures roamed in the abyss. If someone fell in, they would never come back.
After entering the city, Chen Luo went straight to the market town in the center of the city.
The scale of this place is much larger than Baiguling. The market inside is very lively, and there are a lot of immortal cultivators. The various spiritual materials make Chen Luo dazzled.
"Three Souls Spell, are you interested, fellow Daoist?"
A shriveled old man called Chen Luo, took out a somewhat damaged ancient book from the stall, and started selling it.
"I see that you have a strong spiritual power, so you should be practicing curses. My three-soul spell is derived from the ancient spell 'Seven Arrows Book of Nail Heads'. As long as you find the three souls of the person you want to curse, the person will die with one curse!"
The skinny old man was just like a swindler, he started by boasting about his shabby skills to the sky.
The Seven Arrows Book?
Chen Luo was also intimidated by the title.
This is the ultimate magical power of the art of cursing. It is said that even immortals cannot withstand this magical power. It is the ultimate dream of all evil practitioners who specialize in cursing.
"I also see that we are predestined, so I'll give you a friendly price today. Take the 30,000 spirit stones directly."
Seeing Chen Luo stop, the old man became more excited.
He has been setting up a stall in this market for too long, and now the older people basically know him, which has resulted in him having no income for a long time. Today, he finally met a stranger, so naturally he wanted to make a lot of money from him.
'It's a simple curse technique that's worth learning. '
'It's an entry-level skill, not too expensive. Through this skill, you can understand the art of curse. Advanced curse techniques also require the use of the content in it. '
When Chen Luo's eyes fell on the torn book in the old man's hand, the external brain in his mind automatically gave feedback, and several brains that had studied evil magic moved. The feedback from the three foundation-building cultivators he killed in the mountain city was particularly strong.
The old guy with the bone arm has a very intact brain and his suggestions are the most accurate.
"Three spiritual stones."
Chen Luo casually replied with a price.
He was also somewhat interested in curses. When he was in Guoshan County, he was once ambushed by the guy in the thatched hut using curses. Now was a good opportunity to learn more about it to avoid being harmed the next time he met him.
"make a deal!"
The old man who was selling the martial arts technique didn't hesitate at all and directly put the technique into Chen Luo's hands. This clean and neat action left Chen Luo a little unresponsive.
Shout too loud!
Chen Luo took out three spirit stones with a gloomy look on his face and threw them over.
Then I looked at it again in the market.
With the precedent of the old man selling martial arts techniques, other stall owners all started to watch, and several of them took the initiative to talk to Chen Luo. But Chen Luo is not stupid. With the help of his external brain, he can easily tell who among these people is selling real things and who is selling fakes.
“Senior, I have a treasure here that will be of great help even to your current state.”
A child called out to Chen Luo, and his voice made Chen Luo stop.
Because this little boy was the only one among so many people present who could see his cultivation level.
Seeing Chen Luo stop, the little boy patted his storage bag, took out a booklet from it and handed it to Chen Luo.
Chen Luo took the booklet and took a look at it.
The content in the booklet was very simple, with only four big characters - Yin Lei Curse. Chen Luo tried to flip to the back and found that the pages were all golden. There was a forbidden power blocking the pages, making it impossible for him to read.
"Yes, I want this thing. Name your price."
Chen Luo closed the book and nodded with satisfaction.
After practicing for so long, he finally bought the thunder method. Although it is a Yin Lei curse, it is already very good for him. In the Shenhu Immortal Gate, this thing would take at least ten years of contribution points to obtain.
"Five thousand spirit stones."
A hint of joy appeared on the little boy's face, and he immediately shouted out the price.
After listening to this, Chen Luo threw the spirit stone over without thinking, and then bought a few things from the little boy. This guy should be an evil cultivator. Although he has the appearance of a little boy, his soul power is not weak at all. His strength has reached the thirteenth level of Qi Refining. In the Seven Kingdoms area, cultivators at this level are all preparing for the foundation building.
