Chapter 231 New Neighbor

"The whereabouts of the secret technique that can improve the quality of Dan is unknown. Some people say that the secret technique was stolen by the master of the Poison Dragon Pond."

The Poison Dragon Pond is a second-level spiritual vein like the Gumo Mountain.

The Lord of the Poison Dragon Pond is also one of the seven top-level great cultivators who have achieved perfect foundation building in the evil cultivation land.

"Pay attention and don't get involved."

Chen Luo nodded and took note of the matter, while at the same time giving Ding Zhao an instruction.

After sending Ding Zhao away, Chen Luo went outside to reinforce the formation around Gumo Mountain. Every time he came back, he had to reinforce the formation. Unlike the other six top-level old demons who occupied the second-level spirit veins, Chen Luo's cultivation was only in the late stage of foundation building after all, and there was still a gap. This gap had to be made up by the formation.

The situation in the evil cultivation land is obviously not right now, so we must be more careful and vigilant under such circumstances.

After replenishing the formation, Chen Luo returned to the training room.

There are mountains of spiritual materials piled up in the training room. This is the advantage of being the king of the mountain. As long as the spiritual vein is still there, there will be no shortage of resources. It may not be as fast as robbing, but it is more stable.

"First, refine some pure Yuan Yiqi pills."

Chen Luo waved his sleeves, and Elder An's alchemy furnace flew out. With a turn of the spell, it ignited flexibly. After accumulating resources for so long, he could rest assured to retreat for a while.

Two days later, Chen Luo finished refining the Chunyuan Yiqi Pills, a whole gourd of nearly a hundred pills.

This is a late-stage foundation-building elixir. It takes only a few years to collect so many spiritual materials, which shows the benefits of Gumo Mountain. The only thing missing is the main medicine. The supply of main medicine in Fox Mountain is very limited. Although there are still some auxiliary medicines left, in the absence of the main medicine, the auxiliary medicines can only be put aside and cannot be refined again.

After putting the pills into the gourd, Chen Luo began to refine the Guiyuan Pill.

The seclusion lasted for a long time, and two years passed in a flash.

With Chen Luo's unremitting efforts, he also refined a batch of 30 Guiyuan Pills. Among them, only nine were of the first grade, and the rest were all taken out for Ding Zhao to deal with. Now the biggest source of income for Gumo Mountain is the pills that Chen Luo has wasted.

The market at the foot of Gumo Mountain also became a famous medicine trading point nearby. Many independent cultivators came here because of its reputation. Many people knew that the owner of Gumo Mountain was a second-level alchemist. Some even came to ask Chen Luo to help them refine elixirs. Chen Luo took over these small businesses that could expand his knowledge of alchemy. As time went by, his reputation gradually spread.

The replacement of personnel in Gumo Mountain naturally brought some troubles.

However, these troubles were easily solved by Chen Luo using the second-level formation and his own strength. The number of foundation-building brains in the storage bag increased by several more. The most dangerous time was when a casual cultivator who had reached the perfect stage of foundation-building came down with a second-level magic weapon. After three days of fierce fighting, Chen Luo relied on the power of the formation to severely injure this man. From then on, the position of Gumo Mountain was completely consolidated.

Chen Luo also became one of the seven most famous old demons in the evil cultivation land. The Gu Demon Han Jiu became history. The new mountain master Chen Luo was called the "Alchemy Master", which, like the title of "Gu Demon", explained his ability.

Apart from the things happening on Gumo Mountain, the evil cultivation land was also in turmoil. Several major events had occurred one after another, and the turmoil had never stopped.

First, the owner of the Poison Dragon Pond was hunted by several people because of his "secret art of forming elixir". A conflict broke out between the two sides outside the Five Eyes View, and more than a dozen strong men were killed. The whereabouts of the owner of the Poison Dragon Pond was unknown, and no one knew where the secret art of forming elixir had gone.

Over the next year or so, several ruins were discovered, and several "secret techniques for forming elixir" were unearthed. Every time a secret technique was unearthed, a war would be triggered. It's not that no one thought about the problems behind it, but with the benefits in front of them, no one was willing to give up, and everyone felt that they were special.

The second thing was that there was a conflict between the Zhongmo Sect and the Fox Tribe. The Sect leader went deep into the Fox Tribe and accidentally provoked the Fox Tribe's Jindan ancestor. He was beaten half to death and escaped back seriously injured.

Gumo Mountain.

Chen Luo opened his eyes, a breath of air surrounded him, and the gray-white mist slowly receded.

Now, the scene of his cultivation is more and more similar to that of Wuwei Zhenren, except that there is no painting around Chen Luo when he is practicing, nor is there the looming shadow of the woman. The same skills are practiced to this point, and the paths they take are also different, and the scenes they show are naturally different.

Gumo Mountain had kept a low profile after the last battle with the great cultivator who had reached the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage. Under Chen Luo's will, except for basic transactions, all external business had basically stopped.

Seeing Chen Luo wake up from his practice, Ding Zhao hurriedly reported what had happened outside in recent times, such as the matters of the Lord of the Poison Dragon Pond and the Lord of the Demon Seeding Sect.

The development of Gumo Mountain also needs to be explained.

".We spent 50,000 high-quality spirit stones and successfully bought these three ancient corpses."

After two years, Granny Cai's business in the Corpse Water River has finally yielded results. Two days ago, the first batch of corpses of high-level monks were delivered. These bones were ancient corpses that were not suitable for corpse refining and were secretly stolen by Granny Cai's disciples.

With a roll of spiritual power, the three coffins placed next to Ding Zhao immediately flew to his side. Chen Luo stretched out his hand and pressed on one of the corpses.

'I have come into contact with the brain waves of a dead person. The damage is 99%. Do you want to read it?'

Read!

After confirming that it was a brain at the Foundation Establishment stage, Chen Luo immediately chose to read it. His spiritual power had increased a lot in the past two years of practice, and the carrying capacity had increased as well.

"Good, continue the acquisition."

The gray energy flowed into the body through the palm.

Chen Luo's eyes flickered, and he recognized Ding Zhao's ability to do things. These three brains were all strong men in the foundation-building realm. Because they had been dead for too long, there was no obsession left. Chen Luo couldn't figure out their abilities when they were alive, so he could only find the corresponding knowledge later and study it.

Ding Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

As time went by, the pressure from his former junior brother Chen Luo became stronger and stronger. He had never experienced this feeling before when he was in Shenhu Immortal Gate and facing the Peak Master.

"There is one more matter that needs your decision."

"explain."

Having just absorbed three brains, Chen Luo was in a very good mood.

"Black Stone City sent someone to look for you some time ago, and also sent someone to deliver a token, saying that Senior Gu Demon Han Jiu had also received this token before."

As he spoke, Ding Zhao hurriedly handed over the token in his hand.

Chen Luo stretched out his hand and the token immediately flew into his hand.

As soon as it fell into his hand, Chen Luo immediately sensed a piece of information attached to the token. This stream of information overflowed from the token like flowing water and poured into his sea of ​​consciousness.

'Black Rock City Elders' Order.'

Elders’ order?

Chen Luo flipped through the token in his hand and immediately understood how the Black Stone Ancestor controlled the entire evil cultivation land. The seven second-level spirit veins must accept the order of the elders of Black Stone City. If they refuse, they will be enemies with Black Stone City. In the evil cultivation land, no one should do this.

"I see."

He took the token in his hand and explained the relevant matters of paying taxes to Black Rock City, and the matter was over.

After seeing Ding Zhao off, Chen Luo turned around and returned to the training room.

During the past two years of practice, he had used up all the resources he had accumulated in the previous period. With the help of elixirs and spiritual veins, the number of spiritual dragons in his body increased by two more, reaching eighty-two.

However, after reaching this step, the speed of cultivation becomes slower and slower. The further one advances, the more exaggerated the spiritual power gathered by the spiritual dragon becomes. If one continues to practice at this pace, it will take at least forty years to reach the peak of the late ninety-nine foundation-building stages, not to mention the final step of completing the foundation-building stage.

This speed of cultivation is already considered lightning fast for other cultivators, but it is obviously not enough for Chen Luo. He has been practicing for twenty-three years, and eighteen years have passed since he left the Shenhu Immortal Sect. Calculating the time, the leader of the Shenhu Immortal Sect only has about ten years left.

"My practice of the Demon Bone Array Pattern Technique has also stagnated recently, and I have not been able to complete the engraving of the demon bones in the second area."

Sitting cross-legged in the secret room, Chen Luo summarized his practice in the past two years.

"You still have to cultivate the Heart Devil Technique! Get in close contact with people who are going through the tribulation. Only in this way can you quickly break through the realm."

Chen Luo stretched out his hand and a silver centipede appeared in his palm.

A layer of light golden light was flowing on the centipede's back. This layer of light was the soul-parasitic Gu, and it was also the result of his last practice of the Heart Demon Technique.

"It is too dangerous to come into close contact with a cultivator who is undergoing tribulation. Not every cultivator who is undergoing tribulation is like Elder Rong Ling, who is willing to break through in a place like Black Stone City where there are so many people."

The silver centipede was crawling on Chen Luo's hand. Looking at this little thing, Chen Luo remembered one of the characteristics of the soul-parasitic insect, the extension of spiritual consciousness.

He had tried it last time at the post station. At that time, his spiritual sense was not enough to observe the post station, but after the silver centipede flew over, he could "see" the post station. Thinking from this perspective, could he use this little thing to sneak into the retreat of the tribulation survivor?

“Give it a try”

He did it as soon as he thought of it. Chen Luo sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, controlling the silver centipede to fly out of Gumo Mountain in a whoosh.

It is difficult to find someone who can overcome the tribulation, so Chen Luo plans to try looking for someone first.

Inner demons are not only possessed by those who undergo tribulation, but also by ordinary cultivators, but their power is not as strong as that of those who undergo tribulation.

After flying out of Gumo Mountain, a dark golden light streaked across the sky and appeared in the flat mountain stream.

This was the Taoist temple of Master Yinfeng in the past.

After the Demon Sect leader left, this place had a new owner. Until today, Chen Luo has never come to say hello to this new neighbor. Today, when he had the chance, he went over to have a "communication".

The centipede crawled silently into the cave through the cracks in the rocks, and its sharp claws crawled on the stone wall at the top of the cave.

He had been to this place before and was familiar with the route!

Inside the cave, there is a first-level warning formation.

With Chen Luo's current attainment in formation, a mere first-level warning formation was as useless as nothing. He controlled the silver centipede to easily avoid the guard, and then flapped its wings and flew silently to the side of the person in seclusion.

This new neighbor was a skinny old man with a haggard face, a dry body and shriveled skin. There were also several dead women lying around him, who were obviously sucked to death by him. This man turned out to be an evil cultivator who practiced Yin and Yang. Even in the evil cultivation area, this kind of cultivator was a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat, and few people looked down on him.
