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 278

Only three people were left in the final of the Alchemy Conference.

Two more of the previous five people were eliminated. At this point in the competition, most of the people in Yaowang City gathered together, wanting to see the first place in this alchemy conference and the high-level alchemists in Yaowang City.

Song Jing stood on the podium, enjoying the glory of entering the finals.

'This is just the beginning, there will always be a day in the future.'

Song Jing looked towards the Lord of Medicine King City on the high platform, his inner ambition burning.

As an alchemy genius with dual spiritual roots of top-grade fire and wood, Song Jing had been exposed to alchemy very early. Ten years ago, he dug out a jade ring from an ancient tomb, which contained the residual soul of a third-level demon king. With the guidance of this demon king, his alchemy skills improved by leaps and bounds. In just a few years, he surpassed other peers and became the youngest first-level alchemist.

"I will replace him!"

Song Jing had a humble smile on his face, but his inner desire was burning. The two people next to Song Jing were the same. As geniuses, they didn't think they would be weaker than those on the stage in the future.

"You three are all very good. I have prepared a lot of gifts for this competition." The Medicine King City Lord looked at the three people below the stage with a satisfied face. He rarely came back, and he didn't expect to meet so many good seedlings.

As they were talking, two figures flew up from the side.

It was Chen Luo and Elder Wei Kong who had just passed the assessment. Elder Wei Kong was fine, as all the alchemists in Yaowang City knew him, but Chen Luo was different, as he was a new face in Yaowang City.

"Weikong."

Someone immediately stood up and wanted to stop Chen Luo.

The Alchemy Conference is an honor for Yaowang City, and those who can sit on the high platform are at least second-level alchemists.

"Fellow Daoist Chen is a third-level alchemist. I saw it with my own eyes."

Before anyone else could speak, Wei Kong interrupted them.

Third-level alchemist?

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone on the platform looked over.

Although the people below did not hear clearly, they saw the actions of the people on the platform and looked over there.

"Senior Brother Chen! It's Senior Brother Chen!! Why is he on the platform?"

In the crowd, Yu Xiao looked at the 'senior brother' on the platform with shock on his face. Yu Xiao had a very deep impression of this fellow senior brother.

"I'm afraid this person is not my senior brother, but my uncle."

Wanhe said faintly.

He was much more rational than Yu Xiao. Apart from anything else, all the people on the stage were foundation-building cultivators, and the city lord was even a Jindan strongman. If he was in the Qi Refining Realm like them, he probably wouldn't even be able to get on the stage.

"ah?"

Yu Xiao looked dazed.

"Do you really know how to make a spark alchemy?"

After listening to Wei Kong's description, all the alchemists in Yaowang City looked over, and the attention of Yaowang City Lord was also diverted.

As a Jindan cultivator, it was the first time that Medicine King City Lord encountered a foundation-building stage that he could not understand.

"I know a special method of alchemy."

Chen Luo did not say anything definite. He did pick up Master Gu Yue's brain, but this kind of thing is difficult to explain clearly, so he could only be vague.

This also made Chen Luo discover a problem that he had not noticed before.

As his cultivation level improves, the brains he picks up will become stronger and stronger. These people will no longer be as unknown as the previous brains. They are likely to be strong people in a certain field. During their lifetime, their habits and supernatural powers would allow them to be recognized by familiar people.

"good."

The Lord of Medicine King City made a brief comment, then retracted his gaze and asked someone to make room for Chen Luo.

Right next to him.

This is the place where only third-rank alchemists are qualified to sit, representing the powerful ones who have reached the stage of forming a golden elixir.

"The game continues."

The Lord of Medicine King City did not ask Chen Luo's question, but asked the three alchemists below to continue the final step. The important ceremony of Medicine King City cannot be delayed because of one person.

"Who is that person? Why is he sitting there?"

Chen Luo's appearance also attracted the attention of the three alchemists below. Especially Song Jing, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction. He knew all the high-level alchemists in Yaowang City, and Chen Luo was not among them.

Why does someone who is not even an alchemist have the right to sit on a high platform?

Chen Luo sat down next to Yaowang City Lord.

He will need to purchase resources through Medicine King City later. Judging from the current situation, the name of Gu Yue Zhenren is very useful. Maybe he can directly make a leap and become a high-level official in Medicine King City. In this way, he can save half of the time in the process of forming the elixir, and he is expected to pass the tribulation and form the elixir within fifty years.

Yaowang City has held countless alchemy conferences, and the process is extremely familiar.

Three sets of materials are needed to formulate a pill recipe.

The quality of the elixir is the deciding factor.

Under everyone's gaze, the three contestants selected medicines and started the furnace. The three of them were very steady, and they all had their own ideas about pharmacological combinations and fire temperature control. Among the first-level alchemists, these three can be regarded as outstanding leaders.

Chen Luo looked at it for a while and then lost interest.

The first-level elixir has no value to him now. He can easily make it even without an external brain. Although the alchemy skills of the following three people are good, the gap in their realm is too big.

Without the assistance of spiritual consciousness, the level of sophistication in alchemy would be an unbridgeable gap between that of a second-level alchemist. Pills refined using this method would definitely contain residual poison.

As time passed, along with the melting of the medicinal liquid, bursts of elixir fragrance slowly emerged in the field.

The three of them reduced the fire, controlled the temperature, and opened the furnace to produce the elixir.

"Song Jing, the elixir is top grade, with seventh-level medicinal effect."

"Wang Yu, the elixir is of top quality and effective."

The alchemist in charge of the competition below made a quick judgment.

The top three of the alchemy competition were decided. The Lord of Medicine King City presented the three with the prizes he had prepared in advance, and also invited them to join Medicine King City.

"Master Chen, do you think that with the qualifications of these three people, can they learn the Starfire Alchemy Technique?"

After distributing the prizes, Medicine King City Lord suddenly asked Chen Luo who was standing next to him.

"cannot."

Chen Luo replied expressionlessly. Although he didn't know what Medicine King City Lord meant, Chen Luo didn't want to stay here to teach his apprentice.

"What about me?"

As soon as Medicine King City Lord said this, everyone around him fell silent. Song Jing, who had just won the first place, looked at Chen Luo in disbelief as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him.

The Lord of Yaowang City is a Jindan cultivator and a third-level alchemist!

Such a person actually wants to learn alchemy from this person. Could it be that this person is the most mysterious fourth-level alchemist in Yaowang City?

"The city lord is joking."

Chen Luo's expression remained the same. Although the Lord of Medicine King City was a Jindan cultivator, he gave him the same feeling as the Lord of the Nine Poison Valley. Even if he couldn't defeat a strong man of this level, he was confident that he could escape unscathed.

Upon seeing this, Yaowang City Lord did not ask any more questions.

The conversation between the two was not hidden, so the people around them could hear it clearly.

Yu Xiao and Wan He, who were watching from the crowd below, were dumbfounded. They had already overestimated this "senior brother" as much as possible, but they didn't expect that he was even more powerful than expected, and even the Medicine King City Lord wanted to learn alchemy from him.

"I want to see the legendary Starfire Alchemy."

An alchemist standing next to Medicine King City Lord looked at Chen Luo. His eyes were determined and he was obviously an alchemist obsessed with alchemy.

There are the most such beings in Yaowang City.

"If Master Chen can fulfill my wish, I will give you this furnace of Guiyuan Pills!" The old man was not vague and took out the elixir that he had spent three years refining. (End of this chapter)
