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...
Chen Luo had seen this crow spirit before. It was the black-haired crow that led him here. He had never seen the other two, but judging from their auras, they should be low-level monsters in the Water Palace.
"What are you looking at?"
Chen Luo walked over and sat down next to the three monsters.
The three peeking little monsters didn't notice Chen Luo's arrival at all, they just responded instinctively after hearing the voice.
"Of course, I am learning the Black Bear Leader's Qigong method. As long as we learn the Black Bear Leader's magic, we won't have to work here anymore. We can occupy a few hilltops and become the king! Maybe we can even find a few pretty female fairies."
Halfway through their words, the three people washing the pot stopped at the same time.
"Senior, why are you here?"
The crow spirit's voice was trembling. The guest in front of them was a guest of the Dragon King. If they offended him, the three of them would definitely be caught and put into the pot. In the monster tribe, the strong prey on the weak. The three of them cleaned the pot every day, and they didn't know how many monsters were cooked.
"It's just an elementary breathing method. If you want to learn it, I can teach you."
Chen Luo also acted on impulse.
When he saw these three little monsters, he felt a little familiar. So he decided to give them some pointers. Chen Luo didn't know how the monsters of this era practiced, but he had been to the monsters eight thousand years later. He had also dug up the monsters' ancestral tombs. In terms of the monsters' practice methods, no one in this era could compare with him.
"The cultivation method of our demon race is different from that of the human race. The cultivation methods of different races cannot be shared, and the things involved in cultivation are more complicated."
The crow spirit began to explain subconsciously.
The demon race is different from the human race, and their spiritual veins and foundations are very different. This difference is more obvious when practicing. For example, many demon races have tails, and when they practice, the route of practice will flow to the tail position, but the human race is different. There is no tail vein in the human race's practice, and copying it mechanically will only lead to obsession.
The crow demon has feathers, the turtle demon has a turtle shell, and the pig demon has a human-like tail.
This difference prevented them from stealing the human race's magic tricks, and they could only place their hopes on the bear leader who was also a demon.
But Chen Luo didn't listen to the crow spirit's nonsense. He raised his hand and pointed at the crow spirit's brow. A complete bird cultivation method appeared in his mind, and the method was aimed at the transformation of the spirit. Chen Luo did not hide many inheritances related to the corpse immortal way, and passed them on.
The crow spirit froze in place while speaking.
It turned out to be a Qi-refining method that he could practice!
Chen Luo ignored him and passed the crow spirit and turned his gaze to the turtle spirit next to him.
Unlike the crow spirit, the turtle spirit's aura is obviously much stronger, but this turtle spirit is dull by nature and rarely speaks, so it appears a little demented.
"Life turtle?"
Chen Luo sensed the same aura from this turtle as the Flower-backed Turtle. Although it was not as pure as the Flower-backed Turtle, it was also a rare monster in the world. Although the number of monsters under the Dragon King was small, their quality was very high.
"yes."
The green-skinned turtle responded in a deep voice.
"I have a set of skills that are just right for you." After saying that, he raised his hand and gave him the skills of the flower-backed turtle without caring about how the green-skinned turtle reacted.
Compared to the skills given to the crow spirit, the skills given to the turtle spirit are more complete.
The cultivation method of the flower-backed turtle was modified by Chen Luo himself, so he was naturally familiar with the details. The cultivation method he passed on was more complete and also included the flower-backed turtle's insights into cultivation, so it could be considered a one-step approach.
"Thank you, senior."
After receiving the skills from Chen Luo, the green-skinned turtle thanked him solemnly and secretly recorded Chen Luo's aura, preparing to repay him later. The last one was a pig demon. This pig demon was completely black, and most of the bristles on its back were bald. When he was washing the pot before, he directly used the bristles on his body to brush it.
The cleaning effect is very good, but it is a bit hairy.
Chen Luo taught the little pig demon a technique in the same way. But before he left, the little pig demon started talking.
“I can’t learn this. I don’t understand it.”
"So what did you learn from him?"
Chen Luo looked at the little pig monster and felt that it looked more and more familiar.
"Polish your body and build a body of iron."
The little pig demon was a bit naive. He scratched the back of his head and tried to demonstrate what he had learned.
"It's no use training the skin, train the bones instead."
Chen Luo dug out the original version of the Monster Bone Array Pattern from his memory and taught it to the little pig monster. After doing this, he did not stop, and directly turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky. The three little monsters who had experienced the adventure were left standing blankly beside the cauldron.
It wasn't until a shadow appeared from behind and the bear leader slapped them on the shoulder that the three of them recovered.
A moment later.
The black bear leader returned to the water palace and reported all of Chen Luo's actions outside to the Dragon King.
"You mean, he taught each of the three little monsters a method of refining qi?"
The Dragon King looked at the Black Bear Demon in confusion.
He had no idea why Chen Luo taught the three little monsters how to do things, and he couldn't guess his purpose.
"Yes, I saw it clearly." Leader Bear immediately handed over the Qi-refining method that the turtle spirit and the other three had memorized.
"This is the technique he taught. The three little demons have memorized it."
He believed that with his prestige, the three little monsters would not dare to lie to him. The Dragon King simply glanced at it and then threw it aside. It was indeed just three most common Qi Refining Methods, nothing special about them.
Such unpredictable people are the most difficult to use.
If he didn't need this man's power to deal with the Chunyang Immortal Sect, he would have wanted to exclude Chen Luo from the plan.
Snowy mountains.
Chen Luo left and came back.
His purpose of going down the mountain this time was to search for resources and collect more brains. The grave digging had been completed ahead of time, and the resources were also completed ahead of time because of the deal with the Dragon King. Now that all the resources and brains were in hand, it was natural for him to return to continue his retreat to stabilize his realm.
“I thought I was in the wrong place.”
As soon as he entered the Taoist temple, Chen Luo saw a familiar figure.
It was Mu Jianyu who had left Panshifang City to seek revenge. It was also because of this incident that Mu Jianyu was lucky enough to escape, and was not implicated in the Hedao-level battle like Zi Tianji and the others, and was forced to end the "Borrowing Ancient Method" early.
"I went out to find some spiritual materials."
Chen Luo was not surprised. He had sensed Mu Jianyu's aura long before he came here.
"Why are you alone? Where are Zi Tianji and the others?"
Mu Jianyu searched the mountain and found that the place was empty. There was no sign of anyone living there except Chen Luo, which made him feel puzzled.
“They all went back.”
Chen Luo walked into the room and sat down, pouring a cup of tea for Mu Jianyu.
"What happened?"
Mu Jianyu was puzzled. She had been out seeking revenge before, and finally defeated all her enemies, but when she came back, the Panshifang Market was deserted. She only found this place through the communication talisman left by Chen Luo. She thought Chen Luo had found Zi Tianji and the others, but he told her that they had all gone back. This made her a little disappointed, and the plan that she had not yet implemented was forced to end.
"There was a little accident."
Chen Luo didn't elaborate. He gave Mu Jianyu some resources and then began to practice. He and Mu Jianyu didn't have much friendship. If it weren't for Gu He, he might not have paid any attention to Mu Jianyu.
Seeing this, Mu Jianyu didn't ask any more questions. He picked up the skills and pills that Chen Luo gave him, pushed the door and walked out.
It was a rare opportunity. She got some useful information when she was seeking revenge some time ago. She originally wanted to go with Zi Tianji and the others, but now she can only go alone. Not long after Mu Jianyu left, Chen Luo's figure changed, and a brand new figure walked out of his original body.
"Are you going to take action so soon?"
Chen Luo took out the communication talisman from the cave gourd, read the contents inside, and walked out. The message was from the Dragon King, inviting him to meet at the Wanbao Pavilion in the Snow Mountain Market. He had just taken a benefit from someone else, so it was not good to regret it immediately.
Master Chen has always valued his promises, and this has nothing to do with the Dragon King's cultivation level in the Hedao realm.
Inside the house, the identical body remained where it was, continuing its retreat and practice.
Half a day later.
Snow Mountain Market.
Mu Jianyu walked into a small alley, the jade pendant in her hand continuously releasing warm breath.
"It should be here."
Mu Jianyu sensed the information fed back from the jade pendant and stopped in front of a mansion. There were two three-meter-tall stone lions on both sides of the vermilion gate, and a huge plaque with the words "Tianwang" written on it hung above the door beam.
When Mu Jianyu killed his enemy, he obtained a jade pendant from the other party's secret room where he practiced.
This jade pendant is the key to the entrance to the ancient ruins of a sword-cultivating sect. She plans to take advantage of this opportunity to explore the sword sect of this era. Maybe she can find a way to break through to the Return to Void Realm.
Squeak
The wooden door opened.
Mu Jianyu quickly restrained his own breath, spread out his spiritual sense, and began to search the entire mansion.
This is an uninhabited house. It was bought by the enemy she killed, not for living, but to cover up a well in the yard. That well is what Mu Jianyu is looking for, and it is also the entrance to the ruins.
"As long as we can find a complete method of combining the Dao, this trip will be complete."
Mu Jianyu walked very slowly, with spiritual energy surging around him, and soon he came to the edge of the well. The well was not big, and there was a semicircular dent on the stone wall next to it, and its outline was exactly the same as the jade pendant in Mu Jianyu's hand.
She carefully took out the jade pendant and pressed it against the stone wall.
Boom!
The water in the well receded, and a deep passage appeared in the well.
Chen Luo walked through the Snow Mountain Market, crossed the noisy streets, and appeared on the top floor of Wanbao Building. When he came up, the Dragon King was reading a book by the window on the top floor. (End of this chapter)
