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 869: Insect Sutra

In Dong Ping's obsession, the senior sister was the one he had to repay no matter what. Unfortunately, Chen Luo didn't find out the specific reason, so he didn't have much impression of the senior sister.

"I see."

"Don't miss the time."

The man in white turned around and looked at Chen Luo with disgust. When he turned around, Chen Luo discovered that the man in white actually had three eyes.

Between his eyebrows there was a vertical pupil similar to that of a poisonous snake, and the pupil was full of coldness.

Not a big black fish?

Chen Luo was a little surprised. According to his guess, the man in white in front of him should have a face full of carp scales, but now he has a snake eye. Could it be that there is another snake in this third restricted area?

Unfortunately, the man in white did not answer his question. After delivering the message, his body turned into a pile of white insects. When the cold wind blew, they disappeared in an instant.

Wen Yi and the other two who were hiding behind the door and peeking were extremely excited after seeing this scene.

Gu Master!

Other Gu Masters besides Master.

Chen Luo ignored the three little guys and turned back to the main house.

He still hadn't figured out the Gu Master's inheritance. The spiritual energy in the third restricted area was too polluted, and it was difficult to practice the outside world's skills here. It was very difficult to mobilize the polluted spiritual energy, and many magical powers could not be used here.

Chen Luo had been sneaking in for so long, and he had always been using the spiritual power in his body. This method was not a long-term solution. It was easy to deal with low-level enemies, but if he encountered enemies of the same level or even stronger, this limitation would become a fatal flaw.

So Chen Luo has been using Dong Ping's brain to adapt to the spiritual power here.

He also thought of a solution to the pollution problem.

Let Dong Ping's brain absorb it, and his body has a substitute of the Illusion God Gu. In this way, even if he is really contaminated by the spiritual power of the third restricted area, he will not turn into a "fish monster".

A few days later, a white moth appeared on the top of the mountain and hit the window with a "bang bang bang" sound.

Chen Luo woke up from his meditation and realized that it was the man in white who was reminding him that the time was up. He quickly stood up, pushed the door and walked out.

When the white bug saw him come out, it immediately turned around and flew down the mountain.

Chen Luo's figure turned into light and he quickly followed.

A moment later, under the guidance of the white insect, Chen Luo came to a bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest is located in a valley, which is very humid. As soon as you enter, you can smell the smell of rotting leaves. In the middle of the valley is a farmyard, which is surrounded by bamboo and planted with some colorful flowers.

The white bug flew right in across the garden.

After Chen Luo came down, he pushed the door and walked in. Dong Ping's brain was familiar with everything here, as if he had been here countless times in his life.

The light in the room was a little dim, and there was a copper basin opposite the door. Green smoke continued to rise from the copper basin in the middle of the room. Chen Luo took a look and found that it was full of dark red ore. A large group of insects with fiery red shells were gnawing at the ore in the brazier. The leading insect looked extremely bright and transparent, like a red-hot iron, emitting waves of heat.

Lava Gu.

It was the natal poisonous insect of Senior Sister Chu Hong. It was with the help of this poisonous insect that she and her fellow disciples were able to survive.

There were four people standing in the room, one of whom was the snake-eyed man who had gone to the mountain to inform Chen Luo not long ago. Next to him stood a monster covered with fish scales. The aura of this guy was even more exaggerated than that of the snake-eyed man. When Chen Luo looked over, the fish-scale monster gave him a friendly look and grinned at him.

"Dong Ping, you're here."

This is the second brother Zhongshan. There is a picture of Zhongshan in Dong Ping's obsession. At that time, Zhongshan still had a simple and honest face, which was completely different from the ferocious fish monster image now.

Next to Zhongshan is Senior Sister Chu Hong.

Unlike the exaggerated images of the two junior brothers, Chu Hong looked like an ordinary person, but Chen Luo felt a stronger contamination from her than from the other three people in the room. She was like a black vortex, with turbid spiritual energy constantly flowing through her body, affecting the surroundings all the time.

The last person is Junior Sister Qi Chan.

Her cultivation was the weakest and she had the least pollution on her body. In Chen Luo's spiritual sense, only Junior Sister Qi Chan could be considered a person.

"Big sister."

According to Dong Ping's memory, Chen Luo only greeted Senior Sister Chu Hong after entering the house.

"As long as everyone is okay, I'm glad."

A smile appeared on Chu Hong's face.

For Chu Hong, there are not many people she cares about in this world, and her fellow apprentices are her last relatives. Dong Ping had been in seclusion for more than ten years before, and she never went to disturb him, because she was afraid that disturbing him would disrupt his practice. It was not until she sensed Dong Ping's aura yesterday that she asked her third apprentice brother Sima Mo to go and call for help.

"I'm sorry to disappoint Senior Sister."

The feeling of 'guilt' surged in his heart, and Chen Luo spoke something.

The attempt to remove the Tongxin Gu failed, and Dong Ping himself lost his life because of it. This was Dong Ping's last obsession. If Chen Luo hadn't picked up his brain, what Chu Hong and the others would have seen was a skeleton.

"Don't take it to heart, this is not just your business."

Chu Hong comforted her.

The people in the room did not mention the Tongxin Gu, but Chen Luo knew that each of the four people in the room, like Dong Ping, was restricted by the Tongxin Gu. This kind of Gu was different from the Gu that Chen Luo had come into contact with before. He searched for a long time on Dong Ping's body, but could not find any trace of the Tongxin Gu.

"Your Gu is too weak. I've already told you not to waste your time."

Sima Mo, the snake-eyed man, spoke, his tone as harsh as ever.

"I came here this time to exchange a Gu worm with Senior Sister so that I can practice the Insect Sutra."

Chen Luo responded seriously.

The Insect Sutra is the most powerful technique of Dong Ping's master's school according to his memory. The senior sister and the others all practice this technique.

Only Dong Ping and his junior sister Qi Chan did not practice.

Sima Mo had advised Dong Ping several times before, but he refused every time. Practicing the Insect Sutra would allow the Tongxin Gu in the body to be completely integrated into the blood, making it more difficult to remove it. Before, Dong Ping was thinking about removing the Tongxin Gu all day long, so naturally he was unwilling to practice the Insect Sutra.

"Agreed?"

Chen Luo's reaction surprised the snake-eyed man. In his memory, every time he mentioned the Insect Sutra, Dong Ping would get angry. Then they would argue, and finally they would fight, and finally they would slam the door and leave. This time, he brought up the Insect Sutra before he even mentioned it.

"It seems that I suffered a lot during this retreat."

The thought flashed through his mind, but Sima Mo's tone was still choking.

"It's good that you understand. Don't always hold us back."

"The tide is coming."

Second Senior Brother Zhong Shan ended the topic and spoke out an important message. Junior Junior Sister Qi Chan, who had been silent, changed her expression when she heard the news and quickly asked.

"Second Brother, are you sure?"

"I saw it." Zhong Shan's voice was as steady as ever.

But after hearing Zhong Shan's news, the faces of the other people turned very ugly.

'tidal?'

Chen Luo searched Dong Ping's brain, but did not find any memory related to 'tide'. He just felt a sense of fear instinctively.

"Improve your strength first. This time, both of you need to practice the Insect Sutra."

Senior Sister Chu Hong finally spoke.

Everyone in the room fell silent, leaving only the rustling sound of the lava insect gnawing on the crystal.

Two hours later.

Zhong Shan and Sima Mo left one after another, while Chen Luo and Qi Chan were taken to the cave behind Zhugu by Senior Sister Chu Hong.

The cave was very humid, with brown water flowing in it.

The noise of several people coming in scared the black bugs in the cave so much that they fled in all directions. However, they disappeared in the blink of an eye and hid in the cracks of the cave.

Chu Hong stood in front, the red lava Gu lying on her shoulder, constantly emitting heat. This kind of exaggerated temperature would have burned anyone else into a mummy, but Chu Hong had long been accustomed to the temperature of the lava Gu. The insect sutra gave her the same power as the Gu worm. The temperature of the lava Gu was no threat to Chu Hong, and it could also increase her cultivation speed.

"The Insect Sutra is different from the ordinary exercises you practiced before. It is the core inheritance of our school. If you want to practice the Insect Sutra, you can't rely on these low-level poisonous insects on you. You must find a strong enough poisonous insect to assist in your practice. The stronger the poisonous insect, the faster you will improve during practice."

As she spoke, Chu Hong stretched out her hand and grabbed at the void.

Hiss!

A ball of fire flashed across her palm, and the two of them only felt a heat beside their ears, and then they saw a little fire on the wall behind them, and the stone wall began to melt in large areas. The orange-red hot magma flowed down the wall, and part of it fell into the accumulated water on the ground, steaming up a large cloud of water mist.

"This is my lava Gu. I am able to have my current strength only thanks to this Gu."

"Big sister, we don't have it."

Before Qi Chan finished speaking, Chu Hong reached out and took out two small stones, one red and one black, as dazzling as gems.

"These are the strange insect eggs I found for you. The black one is the corpse-controlling Gu, and the red one is the desire Gu. Although these two Gu insects are not as good as my lava Gu, they are also the best among the top-grade Gu insects. When you two practice the insect sutra later, you can use them as the basis for your practice. What you need to pay attention to is the method of refining Gu."

Chu Hong explained it very carefully.

Chen Luo and Qi Chan also listened carefully.

Unlike Qi Chan, with his strength and vision, Chen Luo quickly understood the secrets in the "Insect Scripture". The core of Dong Ping's unique skill is the art of raising insects. The stronger the insects raised, the more feedback the Gu Master will get.

This feeling is just like planting the land, and the Gu worms are the seeds that the Gu Master sows in the land. (End of this chapter)
