"By the way, how many spirit stones?" Chen Luo looked through the contents and nodded with satisfaction.

"free!"

The old man Di Ting, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was startled and immediately said that he didn't want any money. He just wanted to send this gentleman away. Although he didn't know Chen Luo, he heard some questions. The man in front of him was just like their valley master, an alien who ran out of the restricted area!

"Where is your Valley Master?"

Chen Luo remembered what the "Listen" Palace Master had said before and asked.

Since it's free, you should definitely ask more questions.

"The Valley Master is out, and now I'm the only one in charge here." Cold sweat suddenly broke out on the old man's forehead.

If someone else came to buy the information about the Valley Master, he would definitely sell some false information, since no one could be sure anyway. But he didn't dare to fool the man in front of him, so he could only tell him the truth. After that, Chen Luo asked a few more questions, but the old man kept hesitating and talking about other things, which made Chen Luo lose interest quickly.

Sensing the aura on his body that was about to dissipate, Chen Luo turned around and left without saying a word.

The journey was smooth all the way.

The passage that was supposed to be opened at dawn was actually opened ahead of time. Mu Yin, who was standing at the door, saw Chen Luo and quickly took him up. Without waiting for others to call, he immediately activated the Xuanyin Wood and sent Chen Luo up.

The whole process was like sending away the plague god. When the aura on Chen Luo's body completely dissipated, he had already returned to the ground.

The shadow dissipated, leaving only a handful of incense ash.

A feeling of exhaustion came over me.

The pressure borne by one-tenth of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor's brain was somewhat beyond expectations. This was just a simple communication. If it were used for a fight, Chen Luo felt that one move would be enough to drain him dry.

There was no change in Lingxu Cave Heaven.

"Everything is fine."

In the shadows beside him, a figure carrying a magic sword came out. This person was one of the "seven disciples" that Chen Luo had accepted not long ago. This was his public identity, but in fact, this person was a puppet that Chen Luo had "enlightened" to return to the void, using Ke Zhenbei's brain. This enemy who was chasing him before, suddenly became "one of his own".

Neither the owner of the Life Silkworm Gu nor the Ancient Sword Sect showed up, which made Chen Luo a little disappointed.

"The larvae of the Life Silkworm Gu didn't react either?"

Chen Luo looked to the other side, and the black bugs gathered together and formed a black-robed figure. The eldest disciple of Lingxu Dongtian, Lu Chen, had completely changed his style at this time. The handsome young man in white clothes and a long sword on his back in the past has now become a Gu cultivator with a gloomy face and bugs crawling all over his body.

"There was a little reaction, but it was just a gift."

The man in black robe waved his hand, and black bugs crawled through his hand like black mist, leaving behind a white jade communication talisman.

"I don't know who you are, but my feud with Lingxuzi has ended. How about we stop here?"

There was only one sentence in the communication talisman. It was left by the enemy behind Lingxuzi. After the previous test, this person probably discovered the problem. The real Lingxuzi couldn't be so powerful that he could even deal with the backup plan he left behind. If Lingxuzi had such strength, why would he need to hide in the mountains? He could suppress the Yangji Zun alone.

Lingxuzi, who is now active on the stage, is definitely a fake.

"I am Lingxuzi."

Chen Luo replied briefly, then pinched his five fingers and crushed the communication talisman into pieces.

He had robbed Lingxu Dongtian of its things, and now he was done with it. How would the casual cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation view him? The most important thing was that no one was taking care of the precious insect, the Life Silkworm Gu. What would he do if it starved to death?

The broken talisman paper shattered, and Chen Luo twisted it in the middle with his index and middle fingers, and a wisp of light gray aura was caught from it.

He also knows Ge Xian's "Law of Fate".

The Origin Seal, one of the nine seals, is used to do this kind of dirty and tiring work.

Chen Luo grabbed this breath, sealed it into a talisman, and handed it to the man in black robe next to him.

"Go now?"

"Wait until I've dealt with my troubles."

During this trip to Yongye Valley, Chen Luo found a way to solve the "Soul Chasing Mirror". Of the two solutions given by the old man, the first method could not be implemented for the time being, but the second method could be used.

The most common thing on him is his residual soul.

The soul flag is almost full, and two of my brains have gone crazy recently, so it's a good opportunity to extract those extra souls to relieve the pressure.

Secret room.

Chen Luo sat cross-legged in the middle, and he took out the soul flag from the cave gourd. The gray soul flag was suspended above the stone table, and circles of gray soul energy spread out from the flag. Recently, the nine residual souls in the soul flag had been in a state of war for some time. Nearly twenty low-level evil spirits were beaten into powder by them, and Chen Luo collected these broken residual souls and reused them.

Before entering the Soul Banner, all the evil spirits were single individuals.

After entering the soul flag, an endless fight began. In the process, there were injuries and devouring. You are in me, I am in you, and slowly assimilated into a kind of residual soul. These residual souls can devour and merge with each other. Just like the nine most powerful residual souls in the soul flag now, they grew up in repeated fights. After merging with countless residual souls, they are no longer their original selves.

He withdrew his right hand, and three gray beads fell into his palm.

Residual soul bead.

After practicing till now, Chen Luo has reached a new height in the path of soul cultivation, and refining a few residual soul beads is just a piece of cake for him.

“Supplement the deficit.”

Chen Luo swallowed the soul bead into his mouth and tried to practice the mantra that the old man Di Ting had given him.

The soul in the body operated on its own, and the hazy shadow separated from the body. Looking at the body sitting cross-legged, Chen Luo tried to sense his own state, but found no signs of missing anything.

"Is there something wrong with the secret method?"

Chen Luo frowned.

He then used the secret technique again, and this time he summoned the brain that was most sensitive to the fluctuations of the soul to observe.

'Brain damage 7%.'

After a circle of secret techniques was completed, a missing point was found in the corresponding brain.

Chen Luo looked at the 7% missing point and suddenly realized it. He had noticed this problem a long time ago. All the brains he collected, even those that had just died, had a 7% missing degree. At first, Chen Luo thought that this missing degree was memory. He also tried to repair it. The most successful example was the fox demon brain, which made up the missing degree to 6%, but there was no progress after that.

Now it seems that the missing part, in addition to memory, also includes the soul.

The Soul-Hunting Mirror used this incomplete feature to lock onto him.

Sensing the more than a thousand idle brains in the external brain, Chen Luo was stunned.

“This is a bit lacking.”

A few days later.

As Chen Luo continued to extract it day and night, the soul energy on the soul flag gradually faded, and the dispute inside also subsided. Even the gray gas on the surface of the soul flag became extremely thin, and the original black-gray color turned into the current light white.

The nine residual souls huddled in the soul flag and trembled, and their evil spirit and hostility were reduced by more than half at once.

However, the corresponding problem was that the "Soul Chasing Mirror" that had troubled Chen Luo for a long time was solved. After eating more than 1,200 soul beads, his troubles were finally cut off. Although the cutting method was a bit rough and did not reach the two-year blank period mentioned by the old man, it helped Chen Luo solve the problem.

Without the Soul-Hunting Mirror's lock, he immediately flew back to the sea.

It was time to put the information about the seven ancient tombs I had bought in Yongye Valley to good use. But before that, Chen Luo was going to deal with the owner of the Life Silkworm Gu first. This guy hid in the dark and robbed Lingxu Cave Heaven of so many resources. It was time to return the favor.

early morning.

Chen Luo appeared in the main hall of Lingxu Cave Heaven.

He sat on the main seat, and below him was a row of new disciples standing on the stage. The auras of these people were uniform, like the sculptures in the temple, motionless. In the innermost were nine chairs, which represented the nine direct disciples of Lingxu Dongtian.

Zhong Yan was the last to arrive.

She walked into the hall cautiously, looking at the third generation disciples standing outside, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

None of these third-generation disciples and those new junior brothers look like a living person.

"Master."

Walking into the main hall, Zhong Yan saw her master Lingxuzi sitting on the main throne, and a hint of strangeness subconsciously flashed in her eyes.

As the closest person to Lingxuzi and Lu Chen, Zhong Yan had already sensed something was wrong, but she didn't know what to do. She had never experienced anything like this in her cultivation, and the feedback from the Soul Mirror was all normal.

This situation made her feel a little flustered.

She knew the current situation of Lingxu Dongtian. If her master and senior brother had problems at the same time, the sect would definitely be doomed. Without the protection of Lingxu Dongtian, she would never be able to practice peacefully like she is now, and her family would be eroded by other forces.

"I will be traveling soon. During my absence, you will be in charge of the affairs of the sect."

Chen Luo opened his eyes and spoke to Zhong Yan below with an expressionless face, like a god in the temple.

"Where's the eldest brother?"

"He will also be with me. I will leave some means in the sect to help you guard the sect."

This time, Chen Luo brought all eight puppets, including Hei Pao and Ke Zhenbei, with him. According to his original plan, he wanted to refine the Star Iron puppet as well. However, after reading the secret method, he found that the puppet refining method for the Tribulation Realm was extremely complicated. Even if there was Star Iron, it was impossible to start refining immediately. It was necessary to find a specific thunder and fire environment.

A variety of cumbersome conditions made him temporarily give up this idea. He planned to wait until the owner of the Life-threatening Silkworm Gu was dealt with before looking for a place to refine the puppet.

"yes."

Zhong Yan bowed and agreed.

She herself didn't know what was going on, but after hearing that her master and senior brother were leaving the mountain, she couldn't help but feel relieved. (End of this chapter)
