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 206: Inner Demons Can Also Be Used

Two days later, Chen Luo walked out of the training room.

The medicinal materials are out of stock.

Ding Zhao, who went down the mountain to buy auxiliary medicine, did not come back. For this matter, Old Man Sun went up the mountain to find him. In the past year or so, Ding Zhao and Old Man Sun's granddaughter have become Taoist partners, and their relationship has taken a step further. Now that Ding Zhao is in trouble, Old Man Sun is naturally very worried.

"When did it happen?"

Chen Luo opened his mouth to ask. The interruption of medicinal material supply had affected his practice, so naturally he had to ask about it.

"I discovered it last night. The only place that sells sea heart leaves is Pingshanjian next door. We often go there to buy materials on weekdays. Normally, one day is enough for a round trip."

Old man Sun's face was full of worry.

"Give me one of Ding Zhao's personal belongings."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Sun immediately took out a piece of Ding Zhao's clothing. Chen Luo reached out and took out a talisman, touched it on the clothing, and poured spiritual energy into his index finger, tapping the center of the talisman.

The talisman instantly stood up, turned into a stream of light and flew out. Chen Luo ignored Old Man Sun and flew up on his sword, chasing in the direction where the yellow talisman had flown.

Half a day later, Chen Luo fell from the air.

After the yellow talisman flew here, it stuck straight to a stone. Chen Luo walked to the side of the stone, touched it with his hand, and found a trace of blood on the surface of the stone.

"Jie Xiu?"

Chen Luo stretched out his index finger and picked up a drop of blood, then frowned slightly.

call.

The mountain breeze was blowing, and suddenly a burst of talking voices came from the woods nearby. The rustling sound was indistinct, just like the conversation between people in a dream, which was clearly right next to my ears, but I couldn't make out what was being said.

Chen Luo looked over.

He spread his spiritual sense, but found nothing. When he retracted his spiritual sense and turned around again, a turtle appeared on the big rock where the talisman paper had fallen.

A turtle lying on a rock.

The turtle was completely black. It lay motionless on the stone, staring at Chen Luo with its pair of small green eyes.

Mountain spirit?

Chen Luo recognized this thing. He had encountered it before on the way to Guoshan County, but the situation was different now, and the mountain spirit was not enough to make him retreat. The spiritual power of the late foundation building period dissipated and collided with the turtle.

"Hey!"

With a laugh, Chen Luo only felt a flash before his eyes. When he looked again, the turtle on the stone had disappeared.

He spread out his spiritual sense and soon captured the trace of the turtle.

Chen Luo quickly stood up, turned into a stream of light and chased in the direction where the turtle disappeared.

A man and a turtle shuttled through the mountains and forests.

When they reached a valley, the turtle's figure dissipated and disappeared like gas. Chen Luo stopped and scanned the valley with his consciousness, and found a small courtyard surrounded by a bamboo fence.

"Who is the master of this place who can command mountain spirits?"

Chen Luo stood at the gate of the courtyard and did not rush in.

Since the other party captured Ding Zhao and cut off his spiritual material supply, they have been testing him intentionally or unintentionally. He should be more cautious in this situation. He doesn't want to be like the monk who went to the mountains and ran into an unknown formation and was killed unjustly.

For Chen Luo, there are many unclear things about mountain spirits, so he must be cautious when facing the unknown.

The divine sense swept around the yard and found nothing unusual.

Out of caution, Chen Luo took out three pieces of talisman paper and used the old method to control the talisman paper to go in and test it out. The result was the same, the paper man jumped out intact.

"Set up the formation!"

To ensure safety, Chen Luo took out nine magic swords. The Yi Mu sword formation turned, and flew down from nine directions, surrounding the yard.

The formation is formed.

With the second-level formation in place, even if you fall into an ambush, you can use the power of the formation to fight back.

He must find out the reason why the other party captured Ding Zhao, otherwise his subsequent practice will be disturbed. Pingshanjian is an important purchasing point for auxiliary medicines and he cannot give it up.

After entering the yard, Chen Luo walked around the yard just like the paper man.

The yard is full of weeds. The area originally used for growing vegetables is now covered with dead grass. Everything around it is normal as well, as if it was really just an abandoned hut.

Squeak.

Pushing open the door, the room was full of dust, and it looked like it had not been lived in for a long time. Walking around the dusty tables, chairs and benches, Chen Luo saw a bed in the corner. This bed was out of place with other places, and it was very clean, even the sheets and bedding were brand new.

Chen Luo found Ding Zhao sleeping in the bedding. His left hand was injured, but there were no other scars. He was sleeping soundly and did not look like a kidnapped person at all. Instead, he looked like a drunk who couldn't find his way home after a hangover.

"Are you really not injured?"

Chen Luo used his spiritual sense to sense and found that Ding Zhao's spiritual power was functioning normally and was even very active. His face was red, as if he had taken a tonic.

Chen Luo searched the house and found a palm-sized triangular stone at the foot of the bed.

This thing looked like it had been burned by fire. There was nothing special about it. There was no fluctuation of spiritual power, nor any flowing light. I tried several times but couldn't detect anything unusual.

In the whole room, apart from this stone, there was nothing else worth noting.

After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Chen Luo took out a talisman, sealed the black stone and put it into the storage bag, then stood up and took Ding Zhao away.

"strangeness."

After leaving the yard, Chen Luo used his spiritual sense to scan the area again, but he still didn't meet anyone, and the mountain spirit turtle was gone. Everything that happened before seemed like a dream, but Chen Luo knew that someone was testing him.

However, up to now, he still hasn't figured out the other party's purpose.

That stone should be what the other party wanted to give him.

Chen Luo didn't find the answer, so he didn't bother looking for it anymore. As long as the other party had ulterior motives, they would come back sooner or later.

When the time comes, we will fight back with our soldiers and block the water with earth, and we will respond to all changes with the same attitude.

With a roll of his sleeves, he turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky with the unconscious Ding Zhao.

It was a long time after Chen Luo left that a shadow emerged from the thatched house in the mountains. The disappeared mountain spirit turtle reappeared, and looking at Chen Luo's disappearing back, the turtle actually spoke a word.

"Does this guy really have the potential you said?"

"Anyone who is favored by the old fox must have his own secrets. Such a person should join us and pursue the true immortal path with us."

A cold wind blew by, and another voice was heard.

The voice was as erratic as a ghost, but no one appeared from beginning to end.

"Let's hope so. We are almost becoming the rats that everyone wants to kill." The turtle complained and his figure disappeared into mist again.

"The road to immortality is always tortuous."

A layer of white mist filled the forest.

When the fog dissipated, the small courtyard in the valley also disappeared, and the valley became quiet and silent.

After Ding Zhao disappeared, the trade route returned to peace, and everything seemed as if nothing had happened. Three months passed, and everyone regarded the incident as a coincidence.

Chen Luo sat in the training room and continued to accumulate practice.

The Guiyuan Pill still hadn't been successfully refined. The difficulty of making a perfect foundation-building pill was infinitely close to that of a third-level pill. If this kind of pill could be refined, it wouldn't be far from becoming a third-level alchemist. So Chen Luo had been taking the Pure Yuan Yiqi Pill for his recent practice.

The Chunyuan Yiqi Pill is originally a spiritual medicine for the late stage of foundation building, and it is effective enough for Chen Luo at present.

Recently, with the help of Chunyuan Yiqi Dan, Chen Luo has gained two more spiritual dragons, bringing the total to fifty-two.

The span of cultivation in the late stage of foundation building is even greater. In the early stage of foundation building, the number of spiritual dragons is from one to ten, and in the middle stage of foundation building, the number is from ten to fifty. The gap between the two is already very exaggerated. But compared with the gap in the late stage of foundation building, the former two are nothing.

The number of spiritual dragons in the late stage of foundation building is fifty to ninety-nine!

There are a total of forty-nine dragons, and the sum of the spiritual power from the early to the middle stage of foundation building is this number. This shows how difficult it is to practice in the late stage of foundation building. The gap between late stage cultivators is also different. Fifty spiritual power dragons are in the late stage of foundation building, and ninety-nine spiritual power dragons are also in the late stage of foundation building. Naturally, the strength of the two will not be the same.

What Chen Luo is doing now is accumulation, using the assistance of elixirs and the remaining spiritual veins to shorten the accumulation process.

This step is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do in reality.

The first step is the spirit vein. There are only seven second-level spirit veins in the entire evil cultivation area. All of these seven spirit veins are occupied by old demons who have completed their foundation building. Chen Luo was able to grab one thanks to his "big brother" Han Jiu. Later, there were many factors that led to his ability to defend this place. The biggest reason was that the news had not spread completely, and the reputation of the Gu Demon Han Jiu could still be used. The second point was the formation.

A second-level formation master also has this kind of confidence.

In addition to the spirit veins, there are also many factors such as elixirs, spirit materials, spirit stone consumption, and skills. Chen Luo is smart enough, and he has the support of Elder An and Brother Han Jiu. Otherwise, it is basically impossible for someone else to practice as peacefully as him. Even a genius like Su Linlin, who has the support of the fox clan, needs to go out and do the trial tasks within the clan, not to mention those casual cultivators who can't even guarantee food and clothing.

Sit cross-legged with eyes closed, and the pill will enter your stomach.

The daily practice started again, the Heart Demon Technique was put into operation, and wisps of gray-white energy appeared around the body.

After a while, the medicinal effect of the pill dissipated, and the corresponding scene appeared in Chen Luo's mind again, but this time he did not go over.

'Inner demons can also be used.'

In Chen Luo's mind, the mummy's brain reminded him.

It was this sentence that opened up Chen Luo's mind. He didn't have to do everything himself. The same goes for the inner demons. He could let other inner demons do the robbing while he robbed the thieves from behind!

Even if he opens his mind a little more, he can raise some "inner demon" minions.

He let his younger brothers go out to 'rob' while he stayed at home collecting taxes, just like the Taoist Wuwei who was practicing on Daofeng Mountain. Those demon paintings surrounding him might be his 'little brothers'!

As the martial arts technique was practiced, Chen Luo once again felt that familiar breath.

Opposite him is a warrior facing a life or death decision.

On a rainy night, a warrior with a knife looked at two people held hostage by the enemy, one was his mother and the other was his wife.
