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...
Lingxuzi is a person who values family affection.
This was the news Chen Luo got from Zhong Yan. Recalling the scene of meeting Lingxuzi on the mountain before, Chen Luo already had a plan in mind.
When I walked out the door, it was very lively outside.
The morning sun shone on his face, bringing a hint of warmth. Just as Chen Luo was about to go to the inn to deal with the man behind the scenes, a puppet he had released suddenly lost contact. Then a message appeared in his mind.
'Strong.'
Chen Luo paused and instantly felt something was wrong.
Situ Yu's technique of controlling puppets was very delicate, and theoretically there was no possibility of being detected, unless the person who did it had a higher cultivation level than him!
"Posthouse?"
Chen Luo narrowed his eyes and looked towards the direction where the puppet was disconnected.
The location was not the inn he wanted to go to before, but another place he had not noticed before.
Post station.
There were a lot of mortals living in this market below Lingxu Cave Heaven. With so many people living here, naturally they couldn't do without post stations. When Chen Luo released the puppets before, he had scanned the area with his spiritual sense, but he didn't find anything at that time.
'Go and have a look.'
With a thought, Chen Luo found a breakfast stall next to the gate and sat down. He tapped the table lightly with his index finger, and the spiritual power spread out like a thread, weaving into a spider web-like cage in the sky, one of which moved.
The beggar closest to the post station staggered twice, as if he was drunk, and staggered towards the post station.
Phew!
As soon as the beggar puppet approached the post station, the connection was cut off again, and this time the dead puppet transmitted back a voice.
"Why is it here again? Has it been discovered? Does that ghost thing have a third eye?"
Ghost thing?
Chen Luo's index finger kept tapping the table, and his eyes fluctuated slightly.
The man at the post station was not the one behind Master Yangji. He seemed to be chasing something and was most likely not an enemy.
Chen Luo made a judgment based on the current situation, but out of caution, he still left a puppet outside the post station. No matter who this guy's target is, he must keep a close eye on him. This kind of strong man who is out of control, any action will affect his entire plan. He doesn't want to toss around in Lingxu Cave Heaven and be intercepted by others in the end.
Inside the post station.
A young man dressed in white and carrying an ancient long sword on his back looked at the two puppets lying on the ground, his eyes full of confusion.
"The puppetry of the Sikong family is not a method used by ghosts."
After checking the puppet, the young man with the sword on his back sat back on the bench and continued to tap the compass in his right hand.
"This thing didn't break down earlier or later, but it broke down in the field. The workmanship of Tiangongfang is getting worse and worse!"
In the hand of the sword-carrying youth, a purple gold Bagua compass was constantly rotating, and the red needle in the middle of the compass was spinning around like a disrupted magnetic field. This sudden change made the sword-carrying youth very upset.
When he went down the mountain, the master did not tell him that he would encounter such a situation.
Breakfast stall.
After confirming the problem, Chen Luo paid the bill and walked towards the inn.
He planned to deal with these secret peepers first. When the puppet sensed it just now, he had confirmed that there were no Hedao cultivators in the inn. The strongest one was only at the Return to Void Realm. With his current strength, these people in the inn could not react at all.
Inside the inn.
A skinny, short male cultivator was working with a voluptuous, charming female cultivator. Not far away, a burly male cultivator with animal patterns on his face stood at the window.
The auras of these three people are very strong, especially the male cultivator with beast patterns standing by the window. His aura has reached the late stage of Return to Void, which is two small realms higher than the man and woman behind him.
“It’s useless!”
The skinny man who was working shuddered and stopped working.
The charming female cultivator cursed with disdain.
"Practicing with you is a waste of time. I have been practicing for so long and yet you have taken away all my energy. It is so boring!" The skinny male cultivator was also very dissatisfied.
Both of them practice Yin-Yang Taoism.
The two of them are evenly matched together, and neither of them can gain an advantage.
"I've had enough of this damn life. Can this useless guy named Yangji do it? He actually spent so much time dealing with a half-useless Lingxuzi."
"I heard that Lingxuzi's eldest disciple has returned. He is a handsome young man."
The charming female cultivator pulled up her clothes, her eyes moving like autumn water.
"I will take action tonight. The Lord has already tested it. Lingxuzi's Hedao is just an empty shell. He is no match for us at all."
The skinny man opened the door and walked out.
"Big guy, do you want to go with us?" The charming female cultivator's eyes moved. She was thinking about collecting the energy from Lingxuzi's eldest disciple. If possible, she would like to collect the energy from Lingxuzi as well.
The male cultivator with beast patterns stood at the window and didn't even look at the two people.
He has the demeanor of a master.
"Tsk! Boring."
The charming female cultivator cursed, got up, put on her clothes, and followed the skinny man out the door.
Boom! !
The sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
The charming female cultivator had just taken a step when she immediately felt something was wrong.
A sense of extreme danger came over her, and she shuddered. The spiritual energy in her body immediately protected her body. Her body was visibly becoming ethereal, and a bell appeared on her right hand.
"who!?"
The charming female cultivator started to scold.
The wooden boards on the roof broke, and a dried corpse fell from above. The charming female cultivator was an old demon, so how could she fall for such a low-level trick? She didn't even look at the corpse, and dodged and pounced on the figure behind the hole.
"I found you! No matter who you are, if you fall into my hands, I will make you suffer."
The half-virtual shadow dragged a long pink streak in the air, and the bell in the hand rang softly, looking very imposing.
Bang!
A hand suddenly appeared in front of her, and grabbed the charming female cultivator's neck with incredible precision. The semi-virtual method was like a joke in front of this person. The bell she shook desperately was like a toy at this moment, and was directly ignored by the other party.
“Some even come to your door on their own.”
The expression on the charming female cultivator's face froze, and then a "click" sound was heard.
That was the sound of her neck bones breaking.
After killing the person, Chen Luo threw the body aside, not even bothering to pick it up. The skinny male cultivator who came out first was the first one to be killed by him. At that time, Chen Luo took the other's brain and obtained a lot of messy obsessions, most of which were about this charming female cultivator.
Through these fragments of obsession, Chen Luo easily knew the magical powers that these two people had cultivated.
The most disliked method of replenishing energy in Yin-Yang Taoism.
He was too lazy to even take this kind of stuff to make up the numbers.
If it was an orthodox method of replenishing energy, it would be fine. The most important thing is that the method these two people practiced was not orthodox. The most used thing in their practice was the cauldron. The outside world of immortal cultivation was even darker than the world of immortal cultivation in the Emperor's Tomb. Some sects specialized in the business of cauldrons.
They train some qualified young cultivators, guide them into the Dao, and then sell them in exchange for spirit stones. Most of the spirit stones earned by these two people were spent on this. Chen Luo read the "obsession fragments" of these two people and supplemented a lot of common sense of the immortal world outside the Emperor's Tomb.
Squeak
The wooden door opened.
The burly man with animal patterns was still standing by the window.
Chen Luo walked in openly and touched the beast-marked man's head. He then searched around the room, picked up the three people's storage bags, and then turned around and walked out.
Not long after he left.
The burly man with animal patterns standing by the window smiled a strange smile, which grew bigger and bigger, and finally his head exploded into powder. The headless body fell out of the window and landed on the bluestone street at the entrance of the inn, causing a commotion.
The burly man with animal patterns was the first one Chen Luo killed.
As soon as he entered the inn area, he used his "heart demon path" to cover the entire inn. As the one with the highest cultivation among the three, he was naturally the first target to be killed by Chen Luo. The same thing happened to the skinny man and the charming female cultivator. They thought they had a fight with Chen Luo, but in fact, the "fight" they thought was in their minds. The two of them were no different from the burly beast-marked man. They were all weak chickens who would die if they met.
With Chen Luo’s strength at the Hedao realm, he ambushed three Return to the Void cultivators, as well as two Caibu Dao cultivators who were in the early stages of Return to the Void.
Not only does he bully the weak, he also launches surprise attacks.
The deaths of these three people were not unjust at all!
"Huh?"
Outside the inn, Chen Luo, who was originally preparing to leave, suddenly had an idea in his mind when he saw the headless body of the man with beast patterns.
'Life Silkworm Gu, No. 22 on the list of strange insects.'
Chen Luo's eyes fell on the chest of the beast-marked man, where there was a tattoo in the shape of a Bagua. In the center of the Bagua, a ferocious poisonous insect with six pairs of wings emerged from the chest, and then flew away with a whoosh.
Seeing this, Chen Luo immediately followed.
The Borrowing Life Gu was ranked 23rd on the list of strange insects. This Life Silkworm Gu was actually one level higher than the Borrowing Life Gu. Although it was not as good as the Soul-Supporting Gu and the Illusion God Gu, it was also a rare and superior Gu insect for Chen Luo.
At least it's stronger than the silverback centipede.
The speed of the life silkworm Gu is extremely fast.
It could almost be described as a leap, but fortunately Chen Luo was also very fast. One man and one bug, one chasing and one fleeing, they soon left the city.
"If I can find the true form of the Life Silkworm Gu, my life will be worth it!"
Among the external brains, the one in black robe was the most excited. This black robe Gu cultivator who had planned with him the Ancient Sword Sect's Fire Pattern Black Crystal Mine had spent his entire life on Gu insects. It was a pity that he was unlucky and had never obtained a top-ranked Gu insect on the Gu Insect List.
It was also because of this that he was so excited when he saw the soul-parasitic insect on Chen Luo.
Now, only the brain is left. Once Chen Luo calls upon it, its inexperienced habits immediately come to the fore. (End of this chapter)
