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 208 To the Immortal Alliance
After leaving Gumo Mountain and flying eastward for half a day, Chen Luo fell from the sky.
This is the place where we met the mountain spirit turtle last time. If we continue forward, we will reach Pingshan Creek.
"Gone?"
Chen Luo went to the valley on purpose, only to find that the courtyard inside was gone. The desolate valley seemed as if the courtyard had never appeared. The ground was covered with dead leaves, and the breeze blew up the fallen leaves all over the sky.
I searched around here but found no traces.
After confirming that there were no clues, Chen Luo did not waste any more time here. He passed this place and entered the territory of Pingshanjian.
The environment of Pingshanjian does not have as many trees as Gumo Mountain. A large area here is rocky. The earthy yellow rock formations and dark pools of water constitute the unique scenery here.
Chen Luo flew along the mountainside for a while and soon found the place recorded in the message sword.
This is a cave residence located on the first-level spiritual vein. The market where Ding Zhao and his friends usually buy spiritual materials is at the foot of the mountain. Below is another group of family forces that are attached to Pingshanjian. They are the ones who run the market in Pingshanjian. Chen Luo naturally would not go to see these vassals. He flew to the top of the mountain.
There is a protruding platform here, and in front of it is a cave more than three meters high, with three big characters "Yinfeng Cave" written above the cave. Standing in this position, you can feel the cold wind blowing out from the crack in the door.
This environment is similar to the monster cave in the story.
Chen Luo gathered his spiritual power and took two steps forward. He was about to use his spiritual power to transmit his voice, but unexpectedly, the two heavy stone doors opened automatically after sensing his breath.
"We are looking forward to welcoming you, Master."
A voice came out, and Chen Luo realized that there were two dolls wearing red bellybands standing behind the cave. These two dolls had red lips and white teeth, were barefoot, and had pigtails on their heads, just like the Fuwa from the New Year paintings.
"I am the mountain spring, I am the mountain wind, and I am the boy of Master Yinfeng."
The two kids looked like they were five or six years old, but their aura was not weak at all. Both of them were masters in the late stage of Qi Refining.
"Rat demon?"
Chen Luo's current vision allowed him to see through the tricks of the two little monsters at a glance. Their current images were illusions. The real rat monster had a pointed face and monkey cheeks, gray hair on its body, and its sharp little claws were covered with dirt.
"Master, you have a keen eye."
The two rat demons lowered their heads even more. In front of a Foundation Establishment master like Chen Luo, they would subconsciously feel awe. This is the instinct of demon cultivators.
"Please follow me. Master Yinfeng has been waiting for a long time." Shanquan took two steps forward and helped lead the way.
Led by the two rat demons, Chen Luo followed them in.
After passing the cave, the scene inside changed, and the space suddenly expanded countless times. Handsome men and beautiful women shuttled in the cave, and there were women in gauze clothes dancing in the middle. The spiritual mist floating on the ground made this place look like a fairy cave, very beautiful.
The main seat at the back was filled with wine, fruits and melons. A short middle-aged man sat at the back. He had a pointed face, a crooked hat on his head, and wore a light yellow Taoist robe that didn't fit him well. Although he tried hard to look serious, he looked a little funny in this outfit.
This person's cultivation is not weak. Chen Luo used his spiritual sense to sense it and found that the other party's cultivation is the same as his, both are in the late stage of foundation building.
"Haha!! I was wondering who is coming, it turns out to be the Taoist friend from Gumo Mountain. I'm Yinfeng, nice to meet you!" Master Yinfeng also felt Chen Luo's presence, glanced at him, was suspicious at first, then stood up on his own initiative with a hearty smile.
"Fellow Daoist Yin Feng."
Chen Luo also bowed in return.
"I heard the news before, saying that someone defeated the Gu demon Han Jiu and occupied his spiritual vein. I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it." While speaking, Master Yinfeng asked the surrounding singing girls to leave and led Chen Luo to sit down in the guest of honor seat.
No matter what, there is no doubt that Chen Luo came here with the Gumo Mountain Message Sword.
"Brother Han Jiu and I are close friends. The rumors outside are completely nonsense."
Chen Luo interrupted Master Yinfeng's temptation with righteous words, so that he couldn't finish the rest of his sentence. The Gu Demon Han Jiu's signboard was very useful. He would hold it up for as long as he could, and then stand up again when he couldn't hold it anymore.
In terms of reputation, there is still a big gap between Chen Luo and Brother Han Jiu.
". Daoyou is right, I don't know Daoyou Han."
Master Yinfeng held his breath for a long time before abruptly changing the subject.
"My eldest brother has made great progress in his cultivation recently. He is currently in seclusion to break through to the Core Formation stage. I am the one who handles all the trivial matters on the mountain. If Daoist Fellow Yin Feng has anything to say, you can ask me to convey it."
He was the old brother just now, and now he has become the big brother.
Yin Feng Shangren's face twitched, but he didn't expose it. Anyway, the occupation of Gu Mo Mountain had nothing to do with him, so there was no need to worry about it.
"This is also the first time I meet you, fellow Taoist. I wonder if Brother Han has told you about the ten-year agreement?"
"No, my eldest brother went into seclusion in a hurry and didn't explain many things."
Chen Luo came here just for this matter, and by the way, he would like to learn about the major foundation-building masters in the evil cultivation land through Master Yinfeng, to see if he could exchange some high-quality brains through their channels.
"The ten-year period is a time point agreed upon by Fellow Daoist Han and the other five of us." Master Yinfeng patiently explained to Chen Luo.
They were all masters of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the relationship between Master Yinfeng and Han Jiu had not reached that stage. For Master Yinfeng, whether it was Chen Luo or Gu Mo Han Jiu, they were just a trading partner. As long as they could reach a cooperation with him, he didn't care who the specific trading partner was.
While the two were talking, a young woman came over and offered them a fruit plate.
These women were all ordinary people, and occasionally some of them had practiced martial arts, but their martial arts skills were no different from those of ordinary people in front of two foundation-building cultivators.
"Every ten years, the five of us will go to the Five Eyes Temple and exchange some things with the temple master. These things are related to the techniques we practice, so I won't go into details." Master Yinfeng seemed easy to talk to.
"I invited you here because I want to exchange the poisonous insects from Gumo Mountain with you."
"Insect?"
"It's not something particularly precious. It used to be handled by the immortal cultivation families under Fellow Daoist Han. After Fellow Daoist occupied Gumo Mountain, the channels on my side were cut off." The transactions between immortal cultivators are also interconnected. If any one of them is interrupted, it will have an impact.
I briefly explained the cause and effect and explained the matter.
"I'll have someone handle this matter when I get back." Money that comes to your doorstep must be earned.
After the deal was reached, the relationship between the two men warmed up a lot, and they became more familiar with each other in their conversation.
As the two chatted, the topic turned to spiritual practice.
Although Master Yinfeng looked very funny, he had his own unique ideas on cultivation. Chen Luo benefited a lot from the communication. Many of the brains in his external brain "recalled" his memories from his previous life, which increased his means of fighting.
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chen has ever heard of the Immortal Alliance?"
Halfway through the conversation, Master Yinfeng suddenly asked a question.
"To the Immortal Alliance?"
Chen Luo shook his head. He had indeed never heard of this name.
"The Wangxian Alliance was founded by a group of mysterious people. It is said that they can travel back and forth between the fairyland and possess the power of 'ascension'." Master Yinfeng lowered his voice and said here.
“I don’t know whether it is the real fairyland or not, but there is one thing I can be sure of, that is, there is a heritage beyond the current fairyland in the Fairy Alliance, and many powerful people are searching for them. If Fellow Daoist Chen has come into contact with these people, please be careful.” When he said this, he specifically pointed to the storage bag in Chen Luo’s sleeve, and then he took out a stone from the storage bag.
Black triangle stone?
Chen Luo's mind moved, and he remembered what he found when he rescued Ding Zhao last time. He found that piece of stone in the room at that time, but it was useless no matter how he tried. He originally thought it was some special material, but now it seems to have other uses.
Is it about 'ascension'?
This gimmick is indeed quite loud.
"This is the Immortal Alliance"
"Come to think of it, Fellow Daoist Chen, you haven't met my disciple yet, right?" Master Yinfeng interrupted Chen Luo's question and took the stone back. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.
“I have not seen it.”
Chen Luo didn't ask any more questions. Some things should be left at the right place.
After chatting for a while, the topic turned to the Five Eyes View.
"The abbot of the Five Eyes Temple is a senior who has reached the stage of foundation building. He has entered the stage of perfect foundation building for two hundred years. I heard a few years ago that he has condensed the seeds of the Core Formation, and there is hope for his future." When talking about the seeds of the Core Formation, a trace of envy flashed in Master Yinfeng's eyes.
Although he is a foundation-building cultivator respected by countless people, he is still not as good as those who have reached the Jindan stage.
Who among those who have cultivated to this stage does not want to form a pill?
"The master of the Five Eyes Temple is a very good person. He gives a sermon every ten years to pass on his experience in cultivation. He has a very good reputation in the area. Even among the demon tribe, many great demons are his friends."
"Exchange meeting?"
Chen Luo came here just to inquire about the news. It would be of little significance if he only contacted Master Yinfeng. It would be better for him to go out and find the grave by himself.
"Almost the same, but the people gathered here are all people of similar beliefs to me, and some things will be auctioned off during the process."
Master Yinfeng suddenly mentioned this.
"Don't underestimate this as just a gathering of fellow practitioners. Occasionally, some good things will come out of it. At the end of the last sermon, someone took out the corpse of a Jindan cultivator. Although it was the corpse of an ancient cultivator, for a cultivator who practices corpse refining, it is a priceless treasure."
The corpse of a Jindan monk!
Chen Luo wanted to rush over and take the body back immediately. He had already made up his mind to go to the exchange meeting this time as a corpse-refining monk.
This will make it easier for him to purchase brains and refine corpses.
