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 725 We Can Do It Too

"Do you know where the Ancient Sword Sect is?"

Dropping Huang Tian in his hand, Chen Luo looked at Huang Cheng next to him.

He had not intended to be so radical at first, but the Huang family offered themselves to him. As the saying goes, "If you don't take what God gives you, you will be blamed." Zi Tianji's investigation efficiency alone was still too slow. As an outsider, it would take at least ten years for him to establish a trustworthy and reliable force.

Chen Luo didn't want to wait so long, so he decided to take a shortcut.

"No, I don't know."

Huang Cheng swallowed and subconsciously took two steps towards the door.

Even though we know it's useless, our body still subconsciously performs these movements.

“The location of the Ancient Sword Sect is not fixed. Only they themselves know how to enter.” After saying this, he did not forget to glance at Huang Tian who was lying on the ground like a dead dog. His meaning was very clear.

Just ask him if you want to know about the Ancient Sword Sect, and don't involve innocent people.

Seeing this, Chen Luo was too lazy to waste words. He raised his hand and pressed his palm towards the void. The energy of the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to come alive. The flowing airflow rolled up a strong wind and transformed into two translucent arms. The huge palms pressed on the heads of Huang Cheng and Huang Tian one after another.

“Senior, please spare my life!!”

Huang Cheng screamed, the spiritual energy in his body circulated wildly, and even his blood and qi began to burn.

Unfortunately, his life-threatening strength was like an ant in front of Chen Luo, and he simply ignored it. The translucent palm pinched their brains, and the reverse possession method started to work instantly. This time, Chen Luo specially selected two more active brains from the external brain and copied them to them.

"Come find me after you find the entrance to the Ancient Sword Sect."

Release his hand, Chen Luo gave the two of them an order, then stood up and walked out.

The transformed Huang family patriarch quickly bowed and responded. The unconscious Huang Tian also woke up, his body still shaking a little. His head was dizzy, as if he had been hit by something heavy, and he couldn't remember anything.

Outside the door.

The Huang family's retainers were still hiding in the dark, guarding the family's main roads. No one asked when Chen Luo came out, and some even came to show him the way. With Chen Luo's cultivation, the means he displayed were not something these people could perceive.

In the impression of the Huang family's retainers, Chen Luo is still their distinguished guest, a big shot who needs to be received personally by the head of the family.

"The carriage is ready for you."

At the gate, the Huang family's housekeeper led Chen Luo out.

The Zhang brothers were waiting on the side early. This big family is very thorough in handling details. Someone had already informed the Zhang brothers when Chen Luo went out.

"senior."

Seeing Chen Luo coming out, the Zhang brothers immediately went to greet him.

Chen Luo nodded, bowed and entered the carriage.

The Zhang brothers took the coachman's seat and started driving for Chen Luo.

The horses pulling the carriages were all spirit beasts domesticated by the Huang family. Although their rank was not high, they represented the face of the Xiuxian family. The bigwigs in Qingyan City basically had similar carriages. This kind of thing was a symbol of identity and status.

With the participation of the Huang family, the news about the Ancient Sword Sect soon made progress.

Two days later, a flying sword sent a message through the restriction and flew into the courtyard.

"Three years later, on the third day of the seventh month, at three quarters past midnight, the stone on Qingfeng Cliff illuminated by the moonlight?"

Chen Luo looked at the message sent back by Huang Tian.

After receiving Chen Luo's "guidance", this inner disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect immediately applied to return to the sect.

Not long ago, the Ancient Sword Sect's communication flying sword fell into the hands of the Huang family, confirming the location and time of returning to the sect.

The gate of the Ancient Sword Sect is very hidden, and the way to return to the sect is not fixed every time. Sometimes it is in the wilderness, sometimes in the crowd of downtown, and sometimes even under the water or on a cliff. There is no pattern to be found. According to Huang Tian's memory, there is an extremely powerful spiritual weapon in the Ancient Sword Sect. The life cards of all the disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect are stored in that spiritual weapon. When the disciples who travel outside return to the sect, they need to apply first, and then the spiritual weapon will tell them how to return to the sect through the communication flying sword.

"Notify me when the time comes."

After noting down the time and place, Chen Luo no longer paid attention to what the Huang family was doing.

Those two people had brains arranged by him and knew what to do at what time period.

Zi Tianji's progress was slow, and after helping the Lord of Qingyan City complete several tasks, he gained more trust. As the Huang family guessed, the Lord of Qingyan City assigned all the talisman business in the market to Zi Tianji, so that he would have money to build his own foundation.

Chen Luo took advantage of the situation and became one of the supervisors of the market town.

Under the banner of Purple Extreme Master, a sect called Changqing Sect quietly developed. His own cultivation was also steadily improving. In this era, as he had guessed, Returning to Void cultivators did not need to practice Taoism, but the speed of improvement was a bit slow.

'Spiritual vein.'

Chen Luo put down the book in his hand and had a clearer understanding of this era.

Lingshi and Lingshi are different.

This is the problem that Chen Luo discovered after comparison. The spirit stones dug out from the spirit veins have the special power of this era, and even cultivators at his level can use them for cultivation. However, the spirit stones condensed by "gathering qi and condensing crystals" lack this charm. Cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage may not be able to see the doorway inside, but cultivators who have entered the second step of cultivation at the Refining Spirit Realm can definitely detect the problem inside.

After realizing this, Chen Luo immediately changed his mind.

He planned to find a spiritual vein first to boost his cultivation. With Brother Changqing's brain, the path to Return to the Void Realm would be smooth for him and there would be no bottleneck.

“All three locations meet the requirements.”

Zi Tianji walked in from outside.

Two days ago, Chen Luo asked him to find the area with the highest level of spiritual veins nearby to prepare for his move. Although spiritual veins in this era are rare, they are not non-existent. Zi Tianji used a little trickery to find out three spiritual veins that met the requirements.

"These two spiritual veins are controlled by the subordinate forces of the Ancient Sword Sect. There are Divine Transformation cultivators guarding them. It may be risky to take action."

Zi Tianji pointed to the locations of two spiritual veins in the message and gave a detailed explanation.

Before finding out the strength of the Ancient Sword Sect, neither of them had any intention of confronting it, so they only had one last option left.

"Five Elements City?"

"The Five Elements City is a force of independent cultivators. It is slightly easier to deal with than the Ancient Sword Sect, but the strength of the Five Elements City Lord is a little difficult to deal with. He is also a Return to Void cultivator." When mentioning the Return to Void cultivator, a hint of hesitation flashed in Zi Tianji's eyes.

He had previously thought that there were no Return to Void cultivators in this place, and now it seems that it is just as Chen Luo said.

I was standing too low before and couldn’t see many things clearly.

Now that I have the identity of the deputy city lord of Qingyan City, looking back at this era, the answers I get are completely different.

"Are you sure it's Return to Void?"

Chen Luo also shifted his attention over.

He has not yet come into contact with the legendary world. Although he still has the cultivation level of returning to the void, many of his methods are no longer available to him. For example, "returning to the void and transforming into reality", borrowing the power of the legendary world, etc. Since there are also returning to the void cultivators in this era, it means that there are similar powers here. Otherwise, if we only compare spiritual power and magical powers, the gap between returning to the void and transforming into a god is not that big.

"Confirmed, this person relied on the strength of the Return to Void Realm to occupy this spiritual vein."

Zi Tianji also wanted to know the reason, and he brought the news from the Five Elements City just to find out. His cultivation had not recovered until now, and he was a Yuanying Zhenjun outside every day, and he almost forgot the feeling of leaving his body.

"Then let's go to Five Elements City."

Chen Luo made a decision immediately.

This problem must be solved before going to the Ancient Sword Sect. If I can improve my cultivation, it will be even more perfect.

The sacred land of Five Elements City is for sale in Qingyan Market.

After deciding to go to Wuxing City, Chen Luo and Zi Tianji immediately took action. As a result, they found out after an investigation that the spiritual land of Wuxing City was actually divided into countless pieces by the Lord of Wuxing City. The Lord of Wuxing City built caves of various sizes on the spiritual veins, divided them into different levels, and sold them according to the strength of the spiritual veins. The price of the central area high into the city was even more exaggerated. Not to mention buying, just renting it would cost an astronomical amount of spiritual stones.

The two were silent for a while after learning the result.

The plan of killing, robbing and robbery was aborted before it even started.

I always feel that the cultivators of this era are not very serious. A dignified cultivator who has reached the Return to Void stage actually starts a business.

It’s still the business of ‘selling caves’!

"Do you want to change your target?"

"No need, just choose Five Elements City." Chen Luo rejected the proposal.

It was too difficult to find a Return to Void cultivator in this era, and even rarer among casual cultivators. It was so hard to find one, so I couldn't give up no matter what.

"But it's a spirit stone."

Zi Tianji was in a bit of a dilemma.

Having been here for so long, he already knew the difference between the spirit stones. The spirit stones they had were like "fake money" to the immortal cultivators of this era. They could only be circulated below the Nascent Soul stage. The second-step immortal cultivators could see the problem at a glance.

If this kind of thing were to be known by outsiders, neither of them would have a peaceful life from now on.

The business of 'fake money' is also a business, and there is no shortage of people who dare to take risks in the world of immortal cultivation. The 'fake money' in their hands has the same effect in the hands of immortal cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm. As a result, the appearance of fake spirit stones is bound to attract the attention of many people. Especially for a large sect like the Ancient Sword Sect, there are countless disciples inside, and the spirit stones inside have long been insufficient. At this time, a 'fake spirit stone' that can be used in the Qi Refining Realm suddenly appeared. You can guess how they will react without thinking.

"Just because we can't do it doesn't mean the Ancient Sword Sect can't do it."

Chen Luo's eyes were dim.

When he decided to go to Five Elements City, he already had a plan in mind.

There is no need to do everything by yourself, change your identity, troubles will become opportunities.

"A nominal disciple?"

Zi Tianji also reacted. (End of this chapter)
