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 205 Invitation
Chen Luo is now in the middle stage of foundation building and has no rivals. Even if they are in the late stage of foundation building, he can suppress and kill them without using the soul flag. The ones he really needs to pay attention to are the old monsters in the perfect foundation building stage and the false pill stage, such as the previous poison demon Han Jiu.
The opponent's spiritual power has nearly a hundred spiritual dragons, in addition to unknown poisonous insects, which are difficult to kill simply by relying on soul flags, sword formations, etc. Unless a higher-level existence takes action, otherwise in the foundation-building realm, the Gu Demon Han Jiu, a perfect foundation-building cultivator, is invincible.
The material purchasing task was completed quickly, and Ding Zhao returned with the goods in less than three days.
Chen Luo casually gave them a few pills and some low-level skills and sent them away. After replenishing his spiritual materials, he resumed his previous life.
Refining medicine, digesting, and accumulating.
After taking the tenth Pure Yuan Yiqi Pill, the fiftieth spiritual dragon in Chen Luo's body was finally completed. The moment the fifty spiritual dragons were completed, Chen Luo finally entered the late stage of foundation building. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, without any waves.
Spring goes and autumn comes, and another year has passed.
Twenty years have passed since I started practicing, and fourteen years have passed since I left the Shenhu Immortal Gate.
Chen Luo gradually got used to the passage of time and paid less attention to it, because one year was too short for their long lives. Now Chen Luo could still feel the passage of one year, but after forming the pill, this perception would be further weakened, and his attitude towards time would be different.
The most obvious manifestation of this is the legend that a game of chess played by an immortal can extend a mortal's lifetime.
"Senior brother's cultivation has improved again."
Su Linlin came to Gumo Mountain again. Compared with the last time, Su Linlin's aura was more condensed, and there were four Qi Condensation Dragons in her body. The realm of the initial stage of foundation building was completely stabilized. This kind of practice speed was not slow, and it could be regarded as a genius in the fox clan.
But compared with Chen Luo, he seems a little ordinary.
Chen Luo sat on the side of the mountain to rest.
Every time he finished his training, he would sit here for a while, looking down at the changes in the town below the mountain. The hustle and bustle below the mountain and the quietness on the mountain formed a sharp contrast.
"The pills are ready, go get them yourself."
Chen Luo did not look back. All the pills he had refined in the past few years were resold through Su Linlin. The main ingredient of the Pure Yuan Yi Qi Pill was also exchanged for these pills, and he only made a profit.
Just like what Junior Sister Huang Ying did on Wudao Peak that year.
"This time we are not exchanging elixirs, but I have found another kind of elixir that you asked me to inquire about, brother." Su Linlin walked to the edge of the mountain and stopped.
Looking at Chen Luo in green clothes, for some reason, a strange feeling arose in my heart.
She felt that her senior brother was very lonely.
Very pure too.
"Guiyuan Pill?"
Chen Luo was a little surprised. During the last transaction, he did ask Su Linlin to find a more advanced second-level elixir, and Guiyuan Pill was the one he specifically asked for.
If the elixir for the perfect foundation building stage is taken together with the Pure Yuan Yi Qi elixir, the speed of cultivation can be doubled.
"Yes, please confirm it, brother."
As Su Linlin spoke, she took out a black bone tablet from her storage bag and handed it to Chen Luo.
Chen Luo held the bone tablet, and with a turn of his spiritual power, the contents of the bone tablet were quickly digested. The dark words appeared in his mind, and various auxiliary medicines and the proportions of medicinal properties flashed.
"There is no problem with the recipe."
Having refined the Pure Yuan Yi Qi Pill, Chen Luo's alchemy skills were considered top-notch among the second-level alchemists. One could tell at a glance whether it was a real pill recipe.
With this thing, he could proceed smoothly with his practice in the later stage of foundation building.
Normal foundation-building cultivators rely on inspiration, enlightenment, and long-term practice. They don't know when they will break through or when they will have enlightenment. In this case, they don't know whether they can reach the last step. Even if they want to form a pill, they may go the wrong way on the road of practice, and when they come to their senses, they have already gone astray.
Many old demons in the evil cultivation areas had similar problems. They went wrong in their foundation-building practice from the beginning. Even if they finally reached the later stage with the accumulation of time, their cultivation could not make any further progress. This was the case with Fang the old demon who was killed by Chen Luo. He actually practiced the Transfiguration Technique incorrectly.
The real Transfiguration Technique should be the Thousand Changes Technique, and the one that the senior brother who "stole" Fang Lao Mo's position practiced is the correct technique. Fang Lao Mo has an extreme personality and thinks that his master is biased, so he went all the way down the wrong path. In the end, although he mastered the Transfiguration Technique, his potential was also exhausted.
After several failed attempts to break through, they placed their hopes on the ruins outside. This was also the reason why the mummy's brain did not mention the Transfiguration Technique.
In the eyes of the mummy brain, a wrong magical power, even if it has an overwhelming advantage at the current level, is not worth practicing because it is a waste of time and will cause trouble for later practice.
Chen Luo’s practice will not cause him to encounter the problem of Old Demon Fang.
From the moment he acquired his first Jindan technique, the mummy's brain helped him confirm the path of practice. All he had to do next was to continue practicing along this correct path, which was more reliable than any technique or guidance from his predecessors.
"Then congratulations, brother."
Su Linlin said this with a smile, but she still didn't leave.
"What's up?"
Chen Luo, who was sitting on the side of the mountain, sighed and spoke. He had been very close to the Fox Clan in recent years and had borrowed a lot of their connections. Without the help of the Fox Clan, he would not have been able to break through to the late stage of foundation building in such a short time. Even if it was a transaction that was consensual, there was still favor involved.
The fox clan is a large clan, and they can choose many trading partners, just like the Guiyuan Pill that they found for Chen Luo this time. Although it is just an ordinary second-level pill, if there is no high-level alchemist to help, this kind of pill recipe cannot be bought even if you spend money. This shows the strength of the fox clan.
Chen Luo is different. He is just one person, and it is very difficult for him to obtain high-level inheritance.
The higher the level of cultivation inheritance, the more precious it is.
The fox tribe used its own advantages and countless disciples scattered outside to build a huge network of relationships, which involved the demon tribe and the evil cultivation area. Chen Luo even suspected that there were fox tribe forces in the Seven Kingdoms area, but he didn't know it before.
"I want to ask you, brother, if you are willing to join the fox clan."
Su Linlin looked at Chen Luo, a blush flashed across her face, and she didn't say the second half of the sentence.
Chen Luo looked at the town at the foot of the mountain, his expression unchanged. He had known Su Linlin's purpose for a long time. The last time she invited him to the Fox Tribe was a hint, but Chen Luo did not want to be tied to the Fox Tribe. Once such a super power joined, there would definitely be many restrictions.
There is no free lunch in the world. Joining the fox clan and your current partners are two different concepts.
"Our ancestors said that senior brother has a very high talent for alchemy and has the opportunity to become a third-level or even fourth-level alchemist." Seeing that Chen Luo didn't speak, Su Linlin's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she quickly stabilized her emotions and continued.
"Fourth-level alchemist?"
"Brother, your talent is extraordinary, and your luck..."
When it came to luck, Su Linlin stopped talking.
"How is my luck?"
Chen Luo has always been curious about his own luck, but unfortunately he was not able to touch the brain of a fox tribe member last time he went there. And judging from his conversation with the little fox girl, it is rare to find fox tribe members who can read other people's luck within the fox tribe, so it seems that he cannot see it by just touching the brain of a fox tribe member.
"High-level inheritance is very precious. It is not easy to obtain it after the Core Formation stage."
"I hope you will consider this more."
Su Linlin did not answer Chen Luo's question. After saying this, she went down the mountain with the Chunyuan Yiqi Dan that she had exchanged with Chen Luo this time.
Chen Luo sat on the top of the mountain, watching Su Linlin's figure disappear into the sky little by little.
A cold wind blew.
Chen Luo picked up the Guiyuan Pill in his hand again and began to study it.
'One portion of turtle blood and three pieces of sea heart leaves'
Brand new materials, this time also used monster blood. These things must be purchased by Su Linlin's fox tribe for him.
"Mountain Master."
Ding Zhao stood behind him and spoke cautiously.
The so-called fellow disciples were just Chen Luo's names. Ding Zhao usually used respectful titles to address Chen Luo.
"The materials for the Pure Yuan Yi Qi Pill have been purchased."
"Go buy some of these, too."
Chen Luo threw the materials for Guiyuan Pill's auxiliary medicine over.
"yes."
Ding Zhao quickly took the bone tablet in his hand, bowed, and turned to walk down the mountain. In the past year or so, Ding Zhao's cultivation has been steadily improving, and he has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. If he continues to improve at this rate, maybe when he is over sixty years old, he will have the opportunity to break through the foundation building level.
Although he is a little old, but sixty plus is still considered a good age for casual cultivators, and many casual cultivators start their foundation building process at this age.
Therefore, the most important thing for Ding Zhao now is to take good care of Chen Luo, complete all the tasks assigned by him, and safeguard the interests of Gumo Mountain.
After completing the task, Chen Luo returned to the training room.
Started to try to refine Guiyuan Pill.
The alchemy furnace was still the same one that belonged to Elder An. After Chen Luo had refined countless pills, the aura on the furnace began to become familiar to him, greatly increasing his chances of making a successful pill.
Chen Luo took the only material that Su Linlin sent over and threw the herbs in.
Start a fire, open the furnace.
As expected, the pill was ruined. The difficulty of refining Guiyuan Pill is even higher than that of Chunyuan Yiqi Pill. This time, the pill was not refined and a furnace full of ash was directly produced.
This means that the difficulty of this pill recipe exceeds the three alchemist brains that Chen Luo has.
"Take your time."
Chen Luo threw the ashes aside and began to sum up his experience, and opened a new furnace of pure Yuan Yiqi Dan. He had become familiar with refining this kind of elixir, and his experience and reality had merged into one.
