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 53: Become a Disciple

Chapter 53: Become a Disciple

What the old man in white said was very mysterious, just like Taoist scriptures, and it involved many terms for cultivating immortals. For example, the word "Tao" had more than a hundred explanations in the old man's mouth, and different explanations would lead the listeners to different paths of cultivation. If one could not understand the key points, he would go astray and lose the chance to become an immortal.

The so-called great way has the same origin and three thousand flowers bloom is this truth.

The same flowers produce different fruits.

This was completely different from the cultivation that Chen Luo had initially imagined, it was like another system of knowledge. It was impossible to start practicing Qi after listening to it once, because he had no idea what "Qi" was, and he was even less sure whether the "Qi" he understood was the real Qi.

Chen Luo sat in the back row, listening to the knowledge shared by the old man. All the external brains in his mind became active, and one wonderful idea after another burst out in his mind.

'The Tao is the beginning of inaction.'

'It's natural!'

'It should be the most noble meaning between heaven and earth. When you ascend to the ninth position, you will be naturally magnificent.'

'All living things are the Tao, and those who practice Taoism should save all living beings.'

Chen Luo silently watched the different understandings of each brain, and his insights became more profound.

"That's enough for today."

The old man who was preaching in front finally finished his speech.

He slowly stood up, glanced at everyone present, and a hint of disappointment involuntarily appeared in his eyes.

"Huh?"

When he saw Chen Luo, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up.

Because compared with other students in the field, his aura was obviously much stronger, especially on his body, there was a hidden spiritual light, which turned out to be the fairy text of Baixian Cave. After realizing this, the old man stopped his steps as he was about to leave.

"Is there anything you don't understand about what I said today?"

As he spoke, the old man sat back in his original position.

The students who were about to leave were stunned when they saw this, and then showed a surprised expression. Especially Tian Yonglu, who was sitting next to Chen Luo, was even more excited. He also noticed that the teacher had glanced over here a little bit more, and in his opinion, this extra glance must have been at him!

"The master must have seen me, so he made an exception and allowed me to stay. I am indeed the chosen one. My father didn't lie to me."

With the old man's question, a dozen young men below quickly started asking questions.

Seeing this, Chen Luo immediately stood up.

He was not sure if the old man was looking at him before, but the opportunity was right in front of him and he couldn't miss it.

"Teacher, I have a question."

"Just ask."

The old man stroked his beard and smiled. He wanted to see how long this little guy could endure.

Holding the "Xianwen" of their Baixian Cave and taking this conventional route, this alone is worthy of his high regard.

The old man didn't know Chen Luo's background, he just thought he was a man with great ambitions. He had seen this kind of person before, and later that person successfully passed the assessment of Baixian Cave and successfully entered the immortal path. There are still many rumors about him in Yue State today.

"I want to ask the teacher, how can I learn the true way of immortality?"

"The real immortal way?"

The old man looked at Chen Luo and asked.

"Do you think what I'm talking about today is not the way of immortality?"

"no."

"Then what do you think is the true way to immortality?"

“Only those who can achieve immortality can become immortals.” Chen Luo responded immediately.

"Eternal life? Do you know what immortality is?"

The old man's eyes suddenly became sharp, and it seemed as if mountains and rivers were changing between his pupils. An invisible force instantly covered the past, and in an instant all the students present were affected by this force, as if they had entered a dream. Everyone saw a different scene.

Chen Luo, who was about to answer the question, suddenly felt dizzy. The scene in front of him changed, and he seemed to have returned to Chenjia Village from the bamboo forest.

Outside, I heard my father sighing.

It was the night when the decision was made to send him to Qingya County.

'I traveled through time again? No.'

Chen Luo felt dizzy and everything he saw became blurry, as if covered by a layer of white gauze. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see clearly. Even his past memories became hazy. He only remembered the poor life in front of him, which made him exhausted physically and mentally.

"When you go to the city, you must listen to your uncle. Dad is incompetent and can't support you. Although burying corpses is a lowly job, it can make sure you have enough food to eat."

Boss Chen's voice still echoed in my ears, sometimes far away, sometimes near, and a little vague.

"This is the method of the immortal."

'Everything you see is an illusion, and everything you hear is false!'

The thoughts of the Nineteenth Young Master and the Royal Family were transmitted at the same time.

The two clear thoughts sent back completely different images, which made Chen Luo, who had just fallen into the illusion, suddenly sober up. He opened his eyes and found that he was still in the bamboo forest. Except for him, all the other students present fell to the ground, as if they were asleep.

"Very good, very good."

Looking at Chen Luo who had regained consciousness, the old man laughed out loud with joy.

Then, without paying any attention to the students beside him who were still immersed in the fantasy, he stood up and walked out of the bamboo forest.

"Just follow me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo immediately followed.

When he reached the edge of the bamboo forest, Chen Luo felt the scene in front of him change, and when he landed he found himself in another place.

It’s a simple little courtyard, and it’s built in the mountains.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Luo's eyes.

Because he couldn't understand how he had just crossed the distance and transformed the space. The basic knowledge he had learned in the library before was not enough to understand the knowledge contained in it. Looking at the scene in the courtyard, it was quite quiet. The surrounding valleys were filled with an unknown aura. After careful observation, he found that it was exactly the same as the aura of the blue spiritual ore in his body.

'There is spiritual energy in this valley!'

This thought flashed through Chen Luo's mind instantly.

It is feedback from a brain that is most sensitive to spiritual energy.

"Sit down."

The old man waved his sleeves and the stone bench moved gently to Chen Luo's side.

After Chen Luo sat down, he began to look around. In this valley, besides the two of them, there were two cranes and a little monkey. These animals were quite intelligent, and when they saw Chen Luo, they even showed curiosity in their eyes.

The old man sat down in front and looked at Chen Luo and repeated the previous question, but this time he was much more serious.

"You said before that you wanted to learn the true way of immortals, but are you serious?"

"Please teach me, teacher."

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo knew that his opportunity had come, and he immediately knelt down to ask to learn.

"My name is Chang Qing, and I am considered a half-cultivator. Would you like to be my disciple?"

"Disciple meets teacher."

Chen Luo immediately bowed down and performed the etiquette as a disciple without any hesitation.

"Very good."

The old man smiled with satisfaction, and was very pleased with Chen Luo's cleverness.

"Since you are willing to take me as your master, I will guide you."

Then he waved his hand, and the jade pendant belonging to the Nineteenth Young Master and the jade book hidden by Chen Luo flew out from his chest.

"This thing has been used before, so it's of no use anymore."

The old man reached out and wiped the jade pendant of Young Master Nineteen.

The glittering jade pendant instantly lost its luster under this move, and turned into pale white powder that fell to the ground. But then Chen Luo was attracted by the words inside.

It's a compiled word.

The font gleamed in the old man's hand, but when you look closely, you will find that there is an '×' in the center of the font, which means not to take.
