Chen Luo gave Madam Hong and the other two a task, asking them to help him collect alchemy resources and find some special brains. It was no longer limited to cultivation, but ability, and the focus was on finding those who were brilliant in their lifetime and died young. With the current level of cultivation, it was unrealistic to look for brains as before. Jindan cultivators were not cabbages. If all brains were limited to the Jindan stage, it might take hundreds of years to collect the upper limit.

The number of brains that cultivate the four arts of immortal cultivation becomes extremely rare starting from the third level.

Especially for formation masters, there are very few of them. Every formation master above level three is a mysterious figure, and it is difficult to find their remains. Chen Luo used the channels of Qionghua Sect to collect a batch of brains before. The brains that are relatively easy to find have been obtained, and the rest are difficult to get. In this case, we have to consider the growable brains. The brains that Chen Luo uses more often now are all grown, such as the leader of the Seed Demon Sect and the two brothers Wang Mingyi and Wang Mingde.

We need to start making use of our highly complete brain.

"If you perform well this time, I will bring you to join the Qionghua Sect when I come back." Chen Luo gave the three people hope.

Chen Luo was very clear why the three people joined him.

Yuanying-level forces have an incomparable attraction for casual cultivators outside, and the most important thing is the Yuanying inheritance. During the cultivation process, casual cultivators and practitioners of small forces have to explore many paths on their own. If they guessed right, it would be fine. Once they took the wrong path, dozens or even hundreds of years of time would be wasted. For foundation-building cultivators, a wrong path that took a hundred years means that there is no hope of forming a pill in this life, and Madam Bai Gu is such an example.

The bone method she practiced required the fusion of Rakshasa bones to form a pill, and this promotion condition directly trapped her. There are countless similar casual cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation. Some unlucky ones entered the world by digging up ancient cultivation methods. The materials needed to build a foundation have long been extinct in the current world of immortal cultivation. Practicing this kind of method, even if you are extremely talented, you still can't build a foundation. The tolerance rate of the Qi Refining Realm is even lower. The lifespan of more than a hundred years allows them to make very few choices. A single decision determines life and death. In this context, a force with a Yuanying-level inheritance is particularly precious.

"yes."

A hint of joy appeared on the faces of the three people.

Isn't it just for this promise that I followed Chen Luo far away from home?

After arranging the three people, Chen Luo met with a few registered disciples, roughly checked the five people's practice and the tasks they had completed over the years, and then sent them away. It took three days to deal with these trivial matters.

Three days later, Chen Luo's figure turned into a stream of light and flew towards the location of the demon clan in the north.

Half a day later, Chen Luo arrived at the border mountain.

The last time he came here with Su Linlin, they landed here and passed the inspection checkpoint of the Peng bird demon clan, but this time Chen Luo simply ignored the foundation-building demon cultivators below and flew over his head openly.

The aura of a Jindan cultivator swept across.

After sensing his presence, the Peng bird demon cultivator guarding the border shrank his head to the ground and did not dare to say a word. The strength of the middle stage of Jindan was already the strongest in the Tiannan region. Apart from the Yuanying old monsters of the four top sects, he was the strongest one and was completely fearless.

After passing the border mountain, Chen Luo flew down from the sky with a breath of air.

This time, the speed was several times faster than last time.

After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Luo decided to come over to see the fox tribe's request for help. The other party used Su Linlin's name, so he had to come over anyway. It just so happened that he had a breakthrough in his cultivation this time, so he could go to Fox Mountain to worship the ancestors of the fox tribe. I believe that this time, Granny Hu will definitely feel his "sincerity" and have no reason to reject him again.

The huge Fox Mountain is still the same as the last time I saw it.

The neck of the mountain is hidden in the clouds, while the lower part is covered with lush trees. These plants all have fiery red leaves, which look like the hair on a fox from a distance. It is quite spectacular.

Chen Luo did not force his way in. The Fox Clan was different from other places. Su Linlin once mentioned that the ancestral land of their clan was Tushan. Until now, Chen Luo had not seen the so-called Tushan. From this point, one could indirectly infer the background of the Fox Clan. Facing this ancient power, Chen Luo had always been very reasonable.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, Chen Luo saw a desolate town.

This is the town that the Fox Clan must pass through to enter the mountain. Without the guidance of the Fox Clan, they must take this road. Going up the mountain from other places will trigger the restrictions on Fox Mountain. These are what Su Linlin and Chen Luo said before.

“Are you going up the mountain?”

Walking into an inn, a smiling girl came up to greet me.

"puppet?"

Chen Luo stopped and looked up and down at the girl in front of him. She had a smile on her face, and there was no displeasure in her expression, as if she had long been accustomed to such gazes. It was also the first time that Chen Luo had seen such an exquisite puppet, which looked almost the same as a living person.

"The access to the mountain has been closed today. If guests want to go up the mountain, they need to rest here for one night."

The puppet girl still had a smile on her face. Perhaps the person behind her sensed Chen Luo's cultivation level, so she sent a puppet to receive him. He had noticed that when cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm came, no one would take care of them. They had to go into the store and pay spirit stones in exchange for a room to rest. With Chen Luo, this process was completely waived. Not only did he not have to pay for the room, but he also had a special puppet to receive him.

"Why is the passage closed so early?"

Chen Luo glanced at the setting sun, frowned and asked.

"Please forgive me, senior. It was the masters of the fox tribe on the mountain who closed the passage, and we could do nothing about it." The puppet girl apologized immediately.

Seeing this, Chen Luo did not ask any more questions and followed the girl into the inner courtyard.

As a Jindan cultivator, he lived in an independent courtyard.

Walking through the passage of the courtyard, Chen Luo spread his consciousness. He found that besides him, there were three Jindan cultivators, one of whom was the "Senior Gu" he had met before. When he first met this person, she was walking with Granny Hu, which left a deep impression on Chen Luo.

That was also the first time he saw a real Jindan cultivator.

However, Senior Gu obviously had no impression of Chen Luo. He glanced at him briefly and then closed his eyes to rest. The remaining two people were a man and a woman. Chen Luo had no impression of either of them. Judging from the vicissitudes of life on the other person, they should be old monsters who have lived for seven or eight hundred years.

Any Jindan cultivator is not a simple person.

The same goes for Yu Lian Zhenren and Black Horn King who were killed by Chen Luo. If Chen Luo did not have many tricks and methods to restrain them, it would be very difficult to kill them head-on.

"This is your courtyard. We have prepared spiritual wine and spiritual fruits inside, as well as some books for your entertainment. If you have any other needs, you can also tell me and I will ask someone to prepare them."

The puppet girl took Chen Luo to the fifth courtyard on the left.

There is a word "earth" written on the door.

The courtyards here are divided according to gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the fifth courtyard corresponds to earth. Chen Luo stopped at the door and looked back at the four courtyards in front.

Gold, wood, water, fire.

Senior Gu and the other two lived in the Gold, Wood, and Water courtyards, so who lived in the fourth courtyard? If the fourth courtyard was empty, why was he arranged to live in the fifth courtyard?

"Who lives in the yard next door?"

Chen Luo asked directly. He didn't like beating around the bush or following other people's arrangements.

"No one lives in the Fire Courtyard. The previous guest who stayed here just left, and it's still a bit messy inside. It takes time to replenish some specific spiritual fruits, so I led you to the Earth Courtyard. If you want to stay in the Fire Courtyard, you can wait for a while. We will come to invite you after we have replenished the spiritual fruits." The puppet girl immediately lowered her head and replied, without any change in the smile on her face.

Chen Luo ignored the puppet and spread out his spiritual sense to scan the yard next to him.

It was found that it was exactly as the girl said, the tables and chairs were scattered all over the floor, the fruit and vegetable plates were empty, and the wine jug fell into the fish pond. The debris could be cleaned up with dust removal, but it would take time to replenish the supplies.

"No."

After retracting his spiritual sense, Chen Luo pushed the door and walked into the Tuzi Courtyard.

He had just used his spiritual sense to observe, there was nothing suspicious around, and there was no one who could threaten him. He was overthinking, he was not afraid of Granny Hu from Fox Mountain, a cultivator in the middle stage of Jindan, not to mention these little monsters below.

"If the guests need anything, please let me know."

When the puppet girl saw Chen Luo walk into the yard, she slowly retreated to the door and reached out to close it.

"Do you have any books on puppetry? Find some and let me have a look." Chen Luo's voice came, interrupting the girl's actions.

He was still very interested in such an exquisite puppet as the Puppet Girl. When he was in the Qi Refining Stage, he also acquired a puppet technique, but he did not study it at that time. Now that he has reached the Jindan Stage, he can also try to study these things.

Many times puppets are more useful than humans.

"Please wait a moment."

The puppet girl nodded in agreement and then retreated.

Chen Luo looked around. The layout of this place was very elegant, with a pool, pavilion, rockery and wind. Someone in the courtyard used a formation to specially arrange a small spirit gathering formation, making the air here fresher than outside. The wine and fruits on the table were also very sweet and exuded an attractive smell. Although they were not top-grade spiritual materials, they were also good things in the Qi Refining Realm. They could be sold for a lot of spiritual stones in the market.

Putting it here for free for people to eat also shows the inn's respect for Jindan monks. (End of this chapter)
