Chapter 34 Enlightenment

Old Man Tian and his companions finally stayed.

The main thing was that Tian Daniu was injured, and they couldn't leave for the time being. It was getting more and more dangerous outside, and it was impossible for Old Man Tian, ​​whose ox cart was destroyed, to escape with his nephew. In this situation, running away blindly would be suicide, so it would be better to seek refuge with Chen Luo, an "acquaintance", because at least Chen Luo would not kill them.

Chen Luo didn't pay attention to their decision. The valley was so big that he didn't own it alone. At most, he could just remind them when the time was almost up.

Daybreak soon arrived.

The sun rises, revealing half of its face in the sky.

Chen Luo flew onto the high platform and began to mobilize his internal energy according to the method he had found using General Fan’s brain a few days ago.

The rising sunlight, mixed with a hint of inexplicable power, was absorbed into Chen Luo's body.

Invisible and intangible.

The Jade Book, which he had tried to comprehend but failed to comprehend, once again emitted warm energy. This change refreshed Chen Luo's spirits, and he began to quickly search for changes in the surroundings. Unfortunately, this power came and went quickly. There was no change in the surrounding environment, let alone any unusual phenomena.

'Did you find the wrong place?'

Chen Luo immediately stood up, ignoring the confused looks of Old Man Tian and the others, and flew to the highest point, starting to carefully observe the terrain of the valley.

Although Chen Luo didn't know the art of geomancy, he had consulted his uncle and it was impossible for him to find the wrong location, not to mention that he had the help of General Fan's brain. And even if his brain and General Fan's brain were really wrong, the royal brain would not be unresponsive, right? There were more than ninety brains left, so many "brains" could not all make mistakes at the same time.

"Since the location is correct, the wrong thing is the time."

Flying back onto the high platform, Chen Luo began to recall the contents of the secret letter from County Magistrate Lou.

There were not many words, except for describing the characteristics of the spiritual ore, the rest were reporting the discovery. A sample was also sent over, but unfortunately he could not see the spiritual ore sample, and the letter paper that Magistrate Lou left in the government office was also a spare copy he copied himself. This guy has done so many bad things that he is used to keeping something in reserve.

"Maybe not the time of day, but the time of month."

After a while, Chen Luo came to a conclusion.

Things related to immortal cultivators are indeed mysterious, and they are actually connected to the changes of the heavenly stems and earthly branches, the sun, the moon, and the stars. This result gave Chen Luo more expectations, and his mentality calmed down.

After all this trouble, it is absolutely impossible for me to leave.

If he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to find a similar opportunity next time. There are many warriors who have never been able to encounter the "immortal fate" in their lifetime. He doesn't want to wait until his hair turns gray and sit alone in the yard regretting it.

After confirming the result, Chen Luo returned to the platform and started a new round of practice.

He applied two pieces of ointment on his body and slowly started punching.

It’s still Black Tiger Fist.

But now there is basically no improvement. More than a dozen doses of ointment combined together can only bring a little warming feeling. I estimate that it won’t be long before the ointment will be eliminated.

“We have to find a new way.”

After practicing martial arts to this level, Chen Luo already felt that there was no point in which he could make any further progress.

He knew there was a Grandmaster level above, but he just couldn't get in. And he had a feeling that the Grandmaster level was limited not only by the technique, but also by his own qualifications. One's own family knows one's own business. Ma Quezi told him about his qualifications on the first day of martial arts training.

Waste among wastes.

If it weren't for the help of more than a hundred 'good friends', he would probably still be practicing the first level of Black Tiger Fist. It would be impossible for him to reach his current level even if he practiced until death.

After two sudden realizations from studying the Jade Book, this feeling became even stronger.

He had a hunch that even if he really obtained the Grandmaster's skills, he would not be able to break through, and at most he would reach the level of a half-step Grandmaster. Recalling the previous battle between the knife-wielding burly man and the sword-wielding man, this guess became more certain.

Compared with those two people, his innate ability is too weak.

Especially the accumulation of qi and blood!

For a warrior who can become a master, besides his own aptitude and understanding, the most important thing is the accumulation of Qi and blood. When the two men fought, the Qi and blood in their bodies were like a tide, connected into one. That kind of vibrant power all came from the warriors themselves, which was the origin they had accumulated since the day they were born.

When practicing martial arts before, Chen Luo asked Ma Cuzi.

From the other party, I learned that people like them would take a lot of rare treasures and take medicinal baths when they started practicing martial arts as children. The same is true for my junior sister He Min. Her mother started taking tonics and drinking ginseng soup to replenish her vitality from the day she became pregnant, making them stronger than ordinary people from birth.

This is just Ma Quezi and his junior sister He Min. The accumulation of powerful masters will only make them stronger.

Whether you are poor in literature or rich in martial arts, many things are decided at birth.

General Fan, who was killed by Chen Luo, faced the same situation as him and was born weak.

That's why he placed his hopes on the Jade Book, and even betrayed King Ning for it. However, General Fan's vision was limited. After reading the Jade Book, he actually figured out an evil method of using women's blood to practice martial arts. No wonder he was killed by Chen Luo.

"The Way of Immortality."

Chen Luo subconsciously clenched the jade book in his hand, calmed his thoughts, and began a new day of practice.

A day passed.

As night falls, the time point when the sun and the moon meet appears again.

Chen Luo sat cross-legged on the stone, closed his eyes and felt quietly. The jade book once again exuded a warm breath, and that familiar feeling came to his heart again.

The changes this time are more obvious than the previous two times.

The royal brain was like a soul leaving its body in this state, giving Chen Luo a completely different perspective. He even saw the scene behind his head. With himself as the base point, the scene in the entire valley appeared in his mind. In the valley below, Tian Daniu, who had recovered his ability to move, was being taught a lesson by Old Man Tian. The two brothers Fang Cun and Fang Shan also stood aside, not daring to say a word.

These people were clearly behind him, but Chen Luo just "saw" them.

As night fell and the sun set, that mysterious atmosphere disappeared.

The royal brain also "returned" to the body. Chen Luo opened his eyes and looked at the unchanged jade slip in his hand, thinking.

The material of this jade slip must be extraordinary, otherwise the scene just now cannot be explained. After sensing the strength of his internal energy, he found that it was still in the early stage of the Bone Tempering Realm, but much stronger than before.

This mysterious state of mind helped to improve his internal energy, but not to a great extent.

"Sir, we have roasted two pheasants. Would you like to come down and have some?"

Old Man Tian had already finished teaching his nephew a lesson and started to light a fire to cook. Seeing Chen Luo wake up from his meditation, he immediately waved to greet him.

"No."

Chen Luo did not go down, but took out the dry food he brought with him and slowly started eating.

The dry food tastes terrible and is dry and hard when eaten.

But it’s enough to keep you full.

When walking alone outside, Chen Luo is more accustomed to eating food he prepares himself. Although people like Old Man Tian have been with him for a few days, they are not his relatives after all, so he still needs to be on guard against them.

No words were spoken that night.

The next morning, Chen Luo entered that mysterious state again.

As the number of times increased, he clearly felt that his understanding of that state had become more proficient. However, there were also some subtle changes in the valley, and he knew that the scheduled node was coming.

The long-awaited day of harvesting the spiritual mine is approaching.
