Chapter 110 Foundation Building Technique
After saying goodbye to the shop owner, Chen Luo came to the old house next door. This old house was obviously older than the other houses around it. The walls were covered with weeds, and the outer walls were covered with brown-green moss. The paint on the old wooden door had mostly fallen off, and the door nails on it were shiny from being rubbed.
Chen Luo walked up and knocked on the door gently.
Soon there was movement from inside.
With a creaky sound, the door opened from the inside. It was an old man in his sixties. When he saw Chen Luo, he was obviously stunned.
Chen Luo's temperament is out of place in this old street, and he looks like a person of status.
Cultivators of immortality absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice, and even if they wear the same clothes as ordinary people, they will give people a different feeling.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
The old man spoke carefully and used honorifics.
"Old sir, I want to ask you about someone." Chen Luo said very politely.
"I wonder if you have heard of Qi Boyun."
The old man was stunned for a moment, then looked Chen Luo up and down. After weighing the pros and cons, he opened the door.
"Come in and tell me."
Chen Luo was certain in his heart and immediately knew that he had asked the right person.
The yard was very clean, with a row of grape trellises on the left side of the wall and some small vegetables planted in the garden on the right. In the southwest corner there was a small bamboo pavilion with a few chairs and a stone table underneath.
There was a pot of steaming tea on the stone table. The old man had just finished making the tea before Chen Luo knocked on the door.
After sitting down, the old man poured Chen Luo a cup of tea and asked casually.
"I wonder what you want to know about Qi Boyun?"
"I have an elder who had some friendship with the ancestors of the Qi family. When he came here this time, he asked me to do something. I have to find the Qi family to make it clear."
"I see."
The old man was relieved.
Then he picked up the teapot and poured Chen Luo a cup of fresh tea.
"I made the tea myself, please try it."
Chen Luo picked up the tea and took a sip.
It tastes a bit bitter at first, and I don't think it is a good tea. But after swirling it around twice and swallowing it, it has a sweet feeling.
Sweetness after bitterness.
“Good tea.”
Chen Luo made a brief comment.
"As long as you like."
The old man smiled, then spoke.
"If you ask others about the Qi family, they may not know. After all, it happened more than 200 years ago."
Having said this, the old man fell into memories.
"Qi Boyun is indeed from the Qi family. He is also the only son of the fourth generation of the Qi family. Their family was once glorious. His great-grandfather was the Pingwu General of the She Kingdom, who was responsible for suppressing bandits. He was famous in the martial arts world for his cloak and sword, and the number of bandits who died at his hands was as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river."
Chen Luo listened.
After finishing a cup of tea, the old man poured him another cup.
"The origin of this Cloak Sword Technique is also very mysterious. Legend has it that the first generation ancestor of the Qi family once met an immortal. It was with the immortal's teachings that this Cloak Sword Technique was created, and the Qi family later became glorious."
Legends of immortals have always existed.
It's just far away from ordinary people. In a place like Mushan City, the idea of immortals is even more remote. When Hu Qiudao entered the sect, his grandfather took him to the provincial capital and the flying boat there. Just like when Chen Luo entered the sect, the two geniuses from Shenfeng County boarded the boat.
This kind of treatment is only enjoyed by the descendants of immortal cultivation families.
The old man continued to speak, and Chen Luo also got a general idea. The immortal that the first generation ancestor of the Qi family met was most likely Wuwei Zhenren.
This happened more than two hundred years ago. At that time, the Taoist Wuwei owed someone a favor here, and he was the one who casually taught the cloak and sword technique.
"Later, the first generation ancestor of the Qi family died, and the Qi family fell into decline. The inheritance of the cloaked sword attracted a large number of wuxia people, and the huge Qi family was almost wiped out overnight. The Qi family who escaped the disaster moved to the next village, but unfortunately encountered the merger of five villages. The Qi family, which had already suffered a great disaster, offended the village elders during the merger, so that their land and houses were robbed, and the only son of the second generation had his leg broken. He lived a very miserable life."
When he said this, the old man couldn't help but sigh.
Although more than a hundred years have passed, I still feel some emotion when I mention it again.
"Later, the three towns merged to form Mushan City. The youngest son of the Qi family offended the county magistrate because of the matter of immortal fate, so the family's land and property were taken away, and he had no choice but to change his name."
Having said that, I didn’t continue talking.
The youngest son in the story should be himself.
He is Qi Boyun whom Chen Luo is looking for.
"My father-in-law said before that the great grandfather of the Qi family, 'Coat Blade', knew an immortal. Aren't these people afraid of offending the immortal by bullying the Qi family so much?" Chen Luo put down his teacup and asked.
Ordinary people would never dare to provoke a family with a background of immortal cultivators.
"There are too many rumors. The old Qi family has been here for one or two hundred years. Three generations have passed. How could there be no one to help them if they really knew an immortal? What's more, the county magistrate's family also has an immortal background, and their descendants are also practicing in the immortal sect. In terms of background, they are not afraid of the Qi family."
The past two hundred and forty years.
The fourth generation is almost gone. Even if the ancestors really had interactions with immortals, so much time has passed that the immortals probably don’t remember it.
"There is also a difference between 'immortals' and 'immortals'."
The county magistrate's family background is at most that of an ordinary Qi-refining disciple. How can they be compared with the master of a peak like Wuwei Zhenren, a foundation-building immortal cultivator?
Having said this, Chen Luo did not continue the topic.
This old man named Qi Boyun is the Qi family member he is looking for. Although he has changed his name, some things cannot be hidden. It is impossible for an outsider to know the past of the Qi family so clearly.
"I have something that was given to me by an old friend. I hope you can help me pass it on to the Qi family."
He stretched out one hand and took out the scroll that Wuwei Zhenren gave him. This painting was not an ordinary thing. He had seen it when Wuwei Zhenren was practicing in the hall in the past. The value of a painting that is helpful to foundation-building monks can be imagined. Chen Luo didn't know why Wuwei Zhenren would give such a precious thing to ordinary people. He must have his own purpose.
"I will definitely bring it to you."
The old man quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Chen Luo.
Chen Luo guessed his identity, and he also guessed Chen Luo's origins. Otherwise, he would not have let Chen Luo enter the courtyard so easily and told him so many things about the Qi family.
When you get older, you become more savvy.
"Um?"
When the scroll was handed to Qi Boyun, a strange feeling appeared on the palm of his hand. This was the power that was originally sealed in the painting by Wuwei Zhenren. Now after it was handed to Qi Boyun, it was instantly activated.
'There is ownerless soul energy in the scroll, which can be absorbed.'
'The soul is written into the law, mainly cultivating the magical power of the soul, a common method of passing on skills for magic practitioners.'
In the external brain, the two foundation-building brains gave feedback at the same time.
They could tell the same level of skills at a glance. None of the other Qi Refining Realm brains moved, even the brain of Wan Ming, the casual cultivator recruited by Chen Luoxin, did not react.
"This item was given to me by a good friend of Qi's great-grandfather. I hope you will keep it well. If you encounter an enemy, you can resolve the crisis by unfolding the scroll." Chen Luo got up and went out. Before leaving, he specifically reminded the other party.
This scroll contains a backup plan left by Master Wuwei. If a cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm really comes to cause trouble, he can be solved with just one scroll.
As the most difficult soul cultivator among the foundation-building cultivators, Zhenren Wuwei does have this ability.
"Thank you, Immortal."
Old Man Qi bowed solemnly to Chen Luo.
After saying goodbye, Chen Luo turned around and found an inn, entered the room, sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
The information that Master Wuwei had left in the scroll suddenly appeared in his mind.
A three hundred-word technique suddenly appeared in Chen Luo's mind. The technique was called "Heart Demon Technique". It was an upper-level technique that could be practiced to the foundation-building stage. It was more powerful than Chen Luo's current main technique, the Enlightenment Technique. This was the technique that Wuwei Zhenren practiced.
He specializes in the art of the inner demon, and although he does not look like a decent person, his strength is far beyond his peers and he has great potential.
Among the same level of Shenhu Xianmen, Wuwei Zhenren is one of the most difficult foundation-building cultivators. Before forming the elixir, the inner demon technique is an unsolvable magical power for cultivators, and anyone who faces it will be terrified. If you are not careful, you will go astray.
"It's actually a foundation-building technique."
Chen Luo opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, but then he understood.
The martial arts technique that Wuwei Zhenren gave him was not only a reward for the mission, but also an investment in him.
Cultivating to the ninth level of Qi training in one year, looking at the entire Shenhu Xianmen, this speed of cultivation is extremely exaggerated. Wuwei Zhenren guessed that he had a "hidden physique", so he gave him a favor first, and when Chen Luo broke through to become a foundation-building cultivator, this favor would be a big profit. Even if Chen Luo failed to break through, it would not be a big loss for Wuwei Zhenren. The skills themselves can be copied infinitely, and Wuwei Zhenren himself is equivalent to not taking anything, and the business is very profitable.
"This makes the second half of the mission even more difficult to accomplish."
After memorizing the technique, Chen Luo sighed.
The second half of Wuwei Zhenren's mission is to take care of the Qi family. If there is a younger generation with spiritual roots among the younger generations, he should accept him as a disciple. If not, then the fate is over.
Chen Luo has only come into contact with Qi Boyun and has not met the younger generation of the Qi family.
"It just so happens that I have nowhere to go right now, so I'll just stay here for a while."
Chen Luo looked at the scene outside the window and made a decision in his heart. It is not necessary to find a Taoist temple in the Qi Refining Realm, at least not at his current level. Compared with the Yue Kingdom Tomb, the conditions here are much better.
His cultivation has now reached a point where it needs to settle down. Starting from the tenth level of Qi Refining, the three realms are more difficult than the last. He has elixirs to replenish himself so he doesn't need to care about the external environment, but his own realm must keep up. These all require a lot of time and energy to digest.
The existence of the Hu family can also help him save a lot of trouble. With the channel of the Xiuxian family, it will be much more convenient to buy spiritual materials and other things in the future. Such conditions are not so easy to find in other places.
He didn't plan to go back until the situation at Shenhu Xianmen stabilized.
