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...
'The life-borrowing Gu in the growth stage can borrow life regardless of one's will. It is the favorite Gu of the evil cultivators who practice the life-burning magic. There are very few of them. 'The brain of the mummy also emerged.
The secret technique of burning longevity?
This is good! I must pay attention to it in the future.
Chen Luo immediately cut his index finger, and a drop of blood dripped down the fingertip.
The blood slid down and formed a layer of blood film that wrapped the Life-Borrowing Gu inside. The Life-Borrowing Gu, which was in the process of evolution, could not move and could only let the blood merge into its body. Slowly, a strange feeling rose in its heart.
'At the age of fifty-two, the remaining life span is four hundred and forty-eight (can be borrowed), and the foundation of the realm is complete.'
He found that he seemed to have an extra perspective, from which he could clearly see his lifespan.
"Can I borrow it? I didn't agree to it!"
Chen Luo came back to his senses instantly. He realized that he had just used the perspective of the Life-Borrowing Gu.
'The spiritual dragon begins to solidify.'
Baixian Cave Danjie gave back a thought. Chen Luo quickly regained his mind and began to sense the situation in his body. The spiritual dragons that originally surrounded the "fake pill seed" had now all turned into solids, with a faint blood color emitting from them. After he refined the Borrowing Life Gu, the insect entered his body and was now sleeping soundly in the solid spiritual power.
Not only the life-borrowing Gu, but also the soul-borrowing Gu came in.
These two strange poisonous insects have been completely refined by him, and he can summon them to fight for his life at the critical moment, just like the poison demon Han Jiu.
"Red Dan can be made."
The mummified brain gave its evaluation.
Chen Luo did not expect to progress so quickly. When he left the Seven Kingdoms area, his realm was the same as that of Elder Rong Ling, which was at the level that could trigger the heavenly tribulation. But now he has clearly surpassed Elder Rong Ling, and his success rate in transcending the tribulation has increased by at least 30%.
Not long after practicing, there was a knock on the door.
"Brother, I'm Mei Qin."
Meiqin's voice came from outside the door. After such a long time, Meiqin's condition has recovered. Except that his spiritual state is still weak, his magic power has been replenished.
"What's up?"
Chen Luo's mind moved, and the door opened.
Now there were only three of them left on the flying boat. Zhao Long was controlling the giant whale flying boat from the back. Mei Qin must have come to him at this time to ask for something.
"Brother, you are not a cultivator from a sect, right?"
Mei Qin sat down opposite Chen Luo and spoke.
"How do you know?"
Chen Luo glanced at her and asked casually.
"The direction of cultivation for disciples trained by the Qionghua Sect is determined very early. From the moment they enter the sect, the sect will instruct them on the direction of cultivation, and will also tell them the issues that need to be paid attention to during the process of foundation building, pill formation, and infant formation, as well as the impact of each realm on the subsequent realms. Senior brother is very powerful, but his aura is different from all of us, and he has too many traces of being a casual cultivator."
"Ningying?"
Chen Luo stopped practicing. What the other party said aroused his interest, especially the issues related to Nascent Soul that the other party mentioned.
He didn't know much about where the Qionghua Sect was located, but he was sure that the inheritance of the Qionghua Sect was more complete than that of the Southwestern Region.
"Are there many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Qionghua Sect?"
"How is that possible?"
Meiqin shook her head.
"Let alone Nascent Soul, the real people who can condense Dan are all elders in Qionghua Sect. As for Nascent Soul, maybe there are some, but I am not at the level to touch them yet."
There are so few Yuanying and Jiedan? The legendary holy land where Yuanying is everywhere and Jiedan is worse than dogs!
"The place where our Qionghua Sect is located is called Tiannan Region. Strictly speaking, the place where we are now also belonged to Tiannan Region in the past."
Mei Qin began to describe the location of the Qionghua Sect. Her next request was in the Tiannan Region, and she had to explain the situation clearly before asking Chen Luo to take action.
"More than three thousand years ago, the sky darkened for seven days. A mountain fell from the upper realm, dividing the Tiannan region into two. The spiritual energy on both sides also became divided because of the existence of this mountain. The Tiannan region where our Qionghua Sect is located has a high-level spiritual vein, so the overall level of spiritual energy is higher than that of the Southwest region, and cultivation is relatively easier."
The incident three thousand years ago.
Chen Luo calculated the time. Wasn't it the time when the Heart Demon Ancestor went to the Southwest Region? Could there be any connection between the two?
"In terms of skills, both sides are actually on the same level. Moreover, the development of the Tiannan region has solidified over the years, and the resources outside are becoming less and less. In order to ease this pressure, several top sects have started external expansion. The Southwest region is where our Qionghua Sect is located."
The resources can no longer support so many people.
Chen Luo understood the situation in Tiannan Region.
"This is the Sunflower Water Secret Technique that my master passed down to me. It can be cultivated to the early stage of forming a pill. It contains a lot of inheritance related to overcoming tribulations. I think my senior brother might be interested in this thing."
"What do you want?"
Chen Luo took the jade slip. The jade slip was translucent and shone with the luster of scriptures. Words kept appearing under the flowing light. But when you looked closely, the surface of the jade slip was smooth again, with nothing on it.
This kind of high-level jade slip was the first time Chen Luo had seen it. When he was in the Seven Kingdoms region, he had seen many jade slips in the Divine Lake Immortal Gate, but the refining techniques were very crude. When he arrived at the evil cultivation area, bone slips were used, not to mention the refining techniques.
"I would like to ask my senior brother to help me set up a formation to protect my family."
Not only Zhao Long noticed Chen Luo's identity as a formation master, Mei Qin also discovered it. Formation masters are the rarest of the four arts of cultivation. No matter where they go, they are scarce talents, because formations are in demand in many places.
After receiving the jade slip, Chen Luo took out several formation flags from his storage bag.
These formation flags were all made by him when he was in Shenhu Xianmen, most of them were second-level formations. He just took them out to get rid of Meiqin at this time. He felt it was not worth it to go with her to set up the formation.
"This is the second-level Xuanwu formation flag I refined. If you want to set up a defensive formation, this set of formation flags will be just right for you."
After saying that, Chen Luo took out a few more Pure Yuan Yi Qi Pills.
"There is a price difference in exchanging the second-level formation for your Dan-forming technique. I will give you a few second-level pills as a supplement."
Mei Qin was stunned at first, then showed a surprised expression.
She didn't expect to have such a gain. Formation masters are rare to begin with, and there are even fewer well-known formation masters in the Qionghua Sect. Formations are not something you can learn just by working hard. If you don't know how to do it, you just don't know how to do it.
I would rather die than do this!
Every formation master in Qionghua Sect was extremely busy. Even if they applied for a mission, they would have to wait for several years before they could meet the other party. Sometimes it also depended on the other party's mood. Chen Luo not only had the finished formation flag, but also made up for the difference of a few pills.
"Thank you, Brother."
Mei Qin stood up, thanked him, then turned around and left quickly. When she left, she did not forget to help Chen Luo close the door.
After retracting his spiritual sense and making sure that Mei Qin had left, Chen Luo picked up the jade slip he had just exchanged for and began to read the contents.
He glanced over the contents related to the Qi Refining Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm, focusing on the descriptions of the completion of the Foundation Establishment and the Formation of the Core. These things were very rare in the Southwestern Region. Chen Luo looted the library of the Shenhu Immortal Sect and only managed to snatch three Formation of the Core techniques. Even among these three Formation of the Core techniques, a large part of them were figured out by the Sect Master himself.
Two days later.
The flying boat passed through the red stone forest.
After reading the Kuishui Zhen Jue, especially the practice from the Foundation Establishment Perfection Stage to the Core Formation Stage, Chen Luo had a clearer understanding of this level. As his knowledge was supplemented, all the brain 'memories' in the external brain were upgraded by one level.
'The Heart Demon Golden Pill.'
'Using the secret technique of planting demons to lead people through the tribulation, draw the energy needed to condense the golden elixir from the heavenly tribulation, constantly steal the power of the inner demon tribulation, improve the essence of the golden elixir, and finally condense a first-grade inner demon elixir.'
This is the best solution given by the mummy's brain after Chen Luo obtained the secret of Kuishui.
The sky is gloomy.
After passing the red stone forest, the outside turned into a swamp area. There were pools of water below that were emitting poisonous gases. Black smoke and dust rose from below, making the entire sky look particularly gloomy.
In the swamp mud pool, the number of poisonous insects began to increase.
This means that they are getting close to Gu Chong Ridge.
Chen Luo sat cross-legged in the training room, with circles of black gas appearing on his body. He looked like an old demon sitting in the fog, and his aura was constantly twisting. Drops of black water vapor surrounded the room, and these water vapors mixed with the black inner demon's aura.
What Chen Luo is practicing now is the improved version of the Heart Demon Technique.
After practicing to this point, the Heart Demon Art is almost at its end, and Chen Luo has to find the way forward after the Dan Formation by himself. The appearance of the Kuishui Art just solved this problem. In the past two days, Chen Luo used the brain of the mummy to revise the practice method again, and this strange scene appeared during the practice.
Through the black air, Chen Luo saw Mei Qin, who was practicing cross-legged in a room next to him. It seemed that as long as he wanted, any wisp of black air could invade Mei Qin's heart and give her a journey of inner demons. Turning his sight away, Chen Luo saw Zhao Long, who had left the giant whale formation on the other side and was walking towards him with a worried look on his face.
Through the black air, he "saw" Zhao Long's emotions.
An emotion called 'fear', he can use this emotion to plant a demon seed in Zhao Long's body, making him the material to be absorbed by the Heart Demon Technique.
"Brother Chen, we are almost at Guchong Ridge."
Zhao Long's nervous voice came from outside. If it were in the past, he would definitely not be worried, but this time he was really worried, so he ran over to tell Chen Luo about it.
"How long?"
"Half an hour at most."
"Is the spiritual essence enough?"
"It can hold up to the sect's stronghold."
Zhao Long is now extremely worried. If there is another attack, the Giant Whale Flying Boat may not be able to make it to the sect's stronghold. In serious cases, it may even fall into the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain.
If it really comes to that, they will be in danger.
There are only three dangerous places in the sky, but if you fall down, there are dangerous places everywhere on the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain!
"I see."
Chen Luo responded and continued to practice.
Zhao Long had no choice but to return to the location of the Giant Whale Furnace. The Giant Whale Flying Boat was in this place, and it was not safe to move forward or backward. (End of this chapter)
