Chapter 39 Waiting for an Opportunity

Chen Luo's goal was clear. For him at the moment, there were only two most important things. The first was to find a method for cultivating immortality. At the very least, he had to find some advanced martial arts such as a secret manual of divine skills. Otherwise, relying solely on the internal energy of the Black Tiger Fist to mobilize the blue power in his body would be too slow, which would seriously affect his recovery speed and strength.

The second thing is to replenish the foundation.

Currently, only the royal brain can utilize this light blue energy, which is absolutely not enough. It is like having a mountain of treasure but not knowing how to use it. So the second thing is to find some "brains" similar to the royal brain to help him increase his cultivation speed.

Both of these things are difficult to deal with, and there is no clue yet. The most difficult thing is the martial arts. Judging from the circle that Chen Luo has been in contact with, it is difficult to get in touch with better martial arts, let alone the martial arts of immortal cultivation. The world is changing every day, but the people who can really learn the secrets of magic and become masters are still a small number of people. Ordinary people can't even get in touch with martial arts, let alone the secrets of magic. The court's martial arts ban is not a joke. If Chen Luo hadn't met Ma Quezi through his uncle's relationship, he would still not be able to get in touch with martial arts.

So after thinking about it, Chen Luo decided to start with the second thing first.

Looking for a brain with 'qualified' brains.

This was easier than finding a technique. As long as there were dead bodies, he would have a chance. The best place was definitely the valley, where people died every day. It was a pity that Taoist Li Chen died so tragically last time that he melted into blood foam. Otherwise, he would have to borrow his brain to use, and maybe he could practice.

"It's definitely not a good idea to go straight over there. The target is too conspicuous. You might get killed on the way."

Chen Luo was thinking about countermeasures as he walked.

The most important thing at this point is to keep calm.

When there was no chance before, we fought hard in order to find a way forward. Now that the way forward has been opened, we should naturally be cautious. Cultivation is like being a person. We should be aggressive when we should be aggressive, and we should be cautious when we should be cautious. The two are not contradictory.

Those who only know how to rush forward without thinking will definitely not go far. Similarly, those who have lost the enterprising spirit will not become the ultimate winner.

"Wait a minute. After all, if someone dies, they will find a burial site to deal with it. The most they can do is damage the integrity a little bit, which is not a big impact."

Chen Luo glanced in the direction of the government office.

Chen Laosan has been a burial man in this place for most of his life, and this is the route he has the most connections with. So for Chen Luo, it is better to wait until later to dig the grave than to blindly go and take risks.

He is familiar with this road!

"If you don't consider the technique, there is only one way I can improve myself now."

His eyes swept across and finally stopped on the Xing'an Pharmacy at the end of the street.

ointment!

It's time to develop a new ointment. Using external objects to improve yourself and speed up the digestion of light blue energy is also a shortcut. The low-level potion used before has been eliminated, so this time it's just right to upgrade it together.

Among more than a hundred brains, there happens to be such a master in drug use.

"Boss, buy some medicine!"

Chen Luo walked into the store and knocked on the counter with his hand.

"Give me a pack of all the vintage ones on the top row."

"Okay!"

The shopkeeper, who was originally dozing off, suddenly became alert after hearing these words.

Big customer!

After buying the medicine, Chen Luo did not stay in the city for long. He took the packaged herbs and went out of the city.

The security in Qingya County is still very strict. It's okay during the day, but at night there will be soldiers patrolling and it's easy to get into trouble.

After returning to the village, Chen Luo started his life the same as before. He cooked medicine and practiced boxing during the day, and practiced with more than a hundred brains in turn at night. His life became stable. Finding the skills and planning the brains were not so urgent.

The situation in Qingya County is unstable now, so it is better to stay still than to move. After all, he has already gained the greatest benefit.

Chen Laosan came back twice, and he was relieved to see that he did not go out for adventure again. In the meantime, he also brought him information about Ma Quezi and his junior sister He Min. It was said that they had settled down in Yanhu County. With the power of the Shahu Gang, they could quickly gain a foothold even if they moved to another place. The only thing left was the problem of development.

Half a month later.

A country courtyard.

Chen Luo cut a piece of old medicine, picked it up with his index finger and tasted it on the tip of his tongue. The sour taste stimulated him and he subconsciously squinted his eyes.

The year is correct.

After putting away the old medicine, he took out two small purple-black centipedes from the cage next to him. This thing is a centipede-like species and is extremely poisonous. Among the more than one hundred brains collected by Chen Luo, there happened to be talents who are good at these things. After reading a little bit of books and filling in the basic knowledge, he can start refining medicine.

Put the poisonous insects and old medicine into the mortar.

Then pour the black ointment prepared on the stove next to it into the pot and crush it bit by bit with a stone pestle.

The strong smell emanated again, but Chen Luo was used to it now. He pounded all the ointments expressionlessly before going out to get some fresh air. After the ointment cooled, he returned to making the patch.

"The effect has weakened again."

I put the newly made medicine on my dantian and carefully sensed it. I found that the heat emitted by the ointment was reduced by half, and the improvement in martial arts was not so obvious. Not to mention the strength, after cultivating the internal energy, this effect was gone.

After forging bones, it became very difficult to improve. Chen Luo tried many methods but couldn't change this situation. Being able to mix this poisonous insect potion was already a genius idea.

"The insect poison is almost gone."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Chen Luo's eyes.

He originally wanted to live here peacefully for half a year, and then go over to dig graves after the disturbance in the valley had completely subsided. Now it seems that he still took it for granted and underestimated the difficulty of improving the Bone Tempering Realm and his own qualifications.

“It’s not all in vain.”

Looking at the medicinal herbs on the table, Chen Luo's mind flashed through the medicinal properties of hundreds of medicinal herbs and the corresponding toxicity notes. He was now half a doctor, with a corresponding brain, and learning these things was like a cheat. He could remember everything he saw and could learn it once he learned it.

Nightfall.

After Chen Luo absorbed the power of the poisonous insect potion, he finished his daily practice. He opened his eyes and took a look at the sky outside, then went back to the house and locked up his things. When it was almost midnight, he changed into his night clothes and left the village.

When there is no way to advance, you can only take risks.

I'll go check out the place tonight and see if there's a chance to borrow two 'brains'.

After running quickly all the way, Chen Luo soon reached the edge of the valley.

But before he entered the valley, he heard the sound of swords clashing. He quickly restrained his breath and flew to a big tree, using the dense leaves to hide his figure.

The sound of fighting came quickly.

Disappear faster.

Before Chen Luo could get close, the battle over there was over. The bloody smell drifted into the dense forest through the air and could be smelled clearly.

"So soon?"

Chen Luo's pupils shrank, and he looked through the gap in the treetops, just in time to see a group of imperial soldiers washing the ground over there.

Several young martial artists died on the roadside, their bodies full of arrows and their vests hit by iron palms. Their deaths were extremely miserable.

The army surrounded and the experts launched a sneak attack!

No wonder these young masters died so quickly.
