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 60: Divine Way Technique

Linglong Pavilion.

The Linglong Pavilion in Bailong City is much more magnificent than the Zhenbao Pavilion in Qingya County.

The last time Chen Luo dealt with them was when he bought the news about Baixiandao. At that time, he spent a full three thousand taels to buy the news about Baixiandong. It was just a piece of information that he asked casually, but these people actually asked for such a high price. It is conceivable how profitable it is to sell news in this world where communication is not well developed.

Chen Luo inquired about the background of Linglong Pavilion. Through the powerful brothers in the academy, he learned the identity of the owner behind Linglong Pavilion.

It was the immortal from the capital.

He is also the undisputed number one immortal in Yue State so far. Whether it is the Qi-refining master in the southwestern secondary capital or the Changqing Zhenren in Bailong City, they are all weaker than him.

"The customer wants to buy spirit stones?"

After hearing Chen Luo's needs, the shopkeeper inside suddenly became very friendly.

No matter what your identity is.

A customer who could buy spirit stones was definitely not someone that a branch manager like him could offend.

"I'm really sorry, but even our Linglong Pavilion cannot obtain resources like spirit stones. If you really want them, you might as well try your luck at the Bailong Academy. There are many immortals there, and maybe they can help you." The shopkeeper was kind enough to point Chen Luo in the right direction.

But Chen Luo was speechless after hearing this "bright road".

He graduated from the Bailong Academy. If there were spirit stones over there, why would he come here to ask?

"It seems that I have no choice but to go find the teacher."

Chen Luo sighed.

It is difficult to practice.

But I didn’t expect it to be so difficult.

I have just entered the path and I have encountered so many difficulties.

"It may be the special nature of the Land of Absolute Spirits. When I leave Yue, I won't be so poor anymore."

Three days later.

Zhenren Changqing woke up from his retreat.

Changqing Zhenren, who came out of retreat, looked refreshed and in a very good mood. He must have gained something from his retreat.

"teacher."

Chen Luo walked through the bamboo forest path and came to the valley where Zhenren Changqing was in seclusion.

"Why are you here? Have you encountered difficulties in practicing the "Record of a Hundred Immortals"? " Seeing Chen Luo coming in, Master Changqing stopped practicing and asked with a smile.

Seeing this, the little monkey next to him immediately got up to boil water and make tea. His spirituality was stronger than that of many people.

"I have learned a Qi Refining Technique and I am just about to ask the teacher for advice."

Chen Luo sat down next to him and picked up the spiritual tea that the little monkey had prepared for him.

These teas are all grown in the valley, and would be priceless if you put them outside.

"oh?"

Chang Qing Zhenren was a little surprised. To be precise, "Record of Hundred Immortals" could not be considered a secret book of cultivation techniques, but a book of miscellaneous notes. It took him three months to comprehend the immortal text and magic from it, but he did not expect that Chen Luo would comprehend it in just a few days.

"Your qualifications are indeed better than mine."

True Man Changqing sighed. He knew best how difficult it was to practice.

After more than 260 years of pursuit, I have gone through countless hardships. But in the end, I was just lingering in the initial stage, and had no chance to see the scenery at a higher level.

"The Qi Refining Technique I comprehended is called the True Immortal Scripture."

Chen Luo did not hide it and took out the Qi Refining Technique he learned from Bai Xian. As a guide, Chang Qing Zhenren's knowledge and experience must be far beyond his, and he might be able to help him find a way to practice.

"I know this Qi Refining Technique."

Zhenren Changqing just glanced at it and didn't read any further.

The "Record of a Hundred Immortals" has been with him for more than two hundred years. During these two hundred years, he has no idea how many times he has read it. No one knows better than him how many copies of the Qi Refining Techniques are contained in it.

There are thousands of methods, but not every one of them can be practiced.

You need to find the one that suits you best.

"It is one of the best Qi-refining techniques in the Record of Hundred Immortals. The fact that you are able to comprehend this method for the first time proves that it is the most suitable technique for you to enter the Dao."

Having said that, Master Changqing put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile.

"You came to me for the spirit stone?"

"Teacher, please understand."

Chen Luo was very direct. It was the best choice to borrow the teacher's power.

This is the principle of inheritance. Otherwise, if you have to rely on yourself for everything, then why do you need to be a disciple? Immortal palaces, Taoist temples, and academies all follow this model. Teachers hope that students can surpass themselves, go to higher and farther positions, and see the scenery they have never seen on their behalf. This is also a kind of obsession.

"I do have spiritual stones here."

Master Changqing fell silent, as if he was thinking.

Chen Luo sat on the side without saying anything.

Spirit stones are a scarce resource in Yue State, and there are only three Qi Refiners who can store them. And the only one of these three who can be related to him is his teacher, Chang Qing Zhenren. If Chen Luo abandons this line, although he can also practice Qi Refining, the time spent is not comparable to that of practicing with spirit stones.

It may take years or even decades.

In the early stage of entering the Tao, spending such a long time has a very great impact. If you cannot practice smoothly, when you are refining Qi and building the foundation in the future, you may even miss the opportunity to achieve the Tao because of the delay of more than ten years.

"I can give you this spiritual stone, but I need you to do me a favor."

When talking about this matter, Master Changqing's expression became much more serious.

If Chen Luo hadn't understood the Qi Refining Technique, he would have stopped teaching him after a while. The road to immortality is long, and Changqing Zhenren, who has lived for more than two hundred years, has seen all kinds of disciples.

Including Chen Luo, he had a total of three disciples in his life.

He did place great hopes on the first two disciples, but unfortunately, they died earlier than him. Although they also entered the Dao, their aptitude was not as good as his, and they died at the age of a hundred or so.

But Chen Luo gave him a different feeling.

This difference is not only in qualifications, but also in understanding.

When teaching Chen Luo the immortal text before, Master Changqing discovered that this disciple seemed to have learned all the basic knowledge in the library.

The discovery surprised him greatly.

Although the knowledge in the library outside is all basic, it takes an ordinary person 40 to 50 years to master one. It would take him more than 20 years to master all the basic knowledge. It was because of this discovery that Chang Qingzhen was ready to take a gamble.

He doesn't have much time to live anyway.

"Teacher, please speak."

Chen Luo stood up immediately.

From the time they met until now, Master Changqing has always treated him with sincerity. His kindness in teaching him and answering his questions cannot be forgotten. Chen Luo is also very willing to help him to the best of his ability.

"No need to be so serious."

Zhenren Changqing also noticed the change in atmosphere, so he smiled and asked Chen Luo to sit down.

"Remember what I told you before about the land we live in?"

"A large tomb."

Chen Luo cheered up.

He was even more interested in matters related to the tomb.

"It is indeed above a large tomb. When I was at the peak of my cultivation, I once broke into a large tomb."

When talking about the tomb, a hint of reminiscence flashed in Master Changqing's eyes.

"At that time, I found a secret room deep in the tomb. In the secret room, I obtained a special method that can be practiced without spiritual energy - the Divine Way Technique."
