Chapter 114 I Want to Touch It
On the clean bluestone street, Chen Luo sat in a luxurious carriage, closing his eyes in meditation. Opposite him sat the gray-robed man who had just tried to test him.
After he took out the guest order and asked for a meeting, the other party immediately agreed.
After using the talisman to contact the person behind him, someone soon sent a carriage. The frame was very luxurious and printed with the official seal of Sheguo. This represented the majesty of the court and was an official carriage.
After getting on the carriage, it moved forward and drove into the northern city area of Mushan City.
This is the rich and powerful area of Mushan City, and the Hu family is also here. When Chen Luo came to the Hu family before, he paid special attention to it.
After driving for about a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped in front of a mansion.
Two men in black and wearing white masks had been waiting at the door for a long time.
"Wendao Xiaoge, that's a good name. Is the person behind you Magistrate Zhou?"
Chen Luo got off the carriage and looked up at the plaque at the entrance of the courtyard. He had privately asked his senior brother Hu Qiudao about this place and learned that this was the residence of the county magistrate Zhou Tianyang.
The man in gray robe followed behind with a dull look in his eyes.
He still hasn't recovered from the attack of the 'Soul Art'. There is a buzzing sound in his ears and double vision appears from time to time. The damage of the Soul Art is not on the surface of the body, but on the soul level. In the Qi Refining Stage, this level of damage can only be slowly recovered by meditation. The gray-robed man was hit by a complete soul art, and it will take at least half a year to recover.
"Please come in, distinguished guest."
The two servants wearing masks said respectfully. There was no spiritual energy fluctuation in these two people. They were just ordinary warriors. There were not many immortal cultivators in Mushan City. The gray-robed man who tested Chen Luo was already a master in the organization.
The two masked men separated to the left and right and helped Chen Luo push open the gate of the yard.
"I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you to my humble abode."
As soon as he entered the main hall, Chen Luo saw County Magistrate Zhou, dressed in an official robe, coming out to greet him with a smile on his face.
He has already received the news that Chen Luo holds the guest token.
After confirming that he was not an enemy, County Magistrate Zhou felt relieved at once, especially since Chen Luo still had a guest token in his hand, which meant that the other party had done a deal with their Loose Cultivator Alliance and was a talent recognized by the alliance and needed to be won over.
"County Magistrate Zhou."
Chen Luo also smiled and returned the greeting.
The moment he entered the door, he could already sense the other person's presence.
The eighth level of Qi Refining!
It is no wonder that a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining could be the county magistrate of Mushan City. Apart from the old man of the Hu family, the county magistrate Zhou Tianyang is considered the strongest person in the local area.
"It would be awkward to mention an official position when we are talking about our relationship in private."
County Magistrate Zhou had a warm smile on his face and pulled Chen Luo towards the inner hall.
"I also went to the Immortal Gate to practice 20 years ago. At that time, I became a disciple of Xingdou Peak and studied the formation for three years. However, when I left the mountain, I still didn't understand how to set up the formation. It was really embarrassing."
"It turned out to be Senior Brother Zhou."
Chen Luo changed his address accordingly.
"Haha, we are all brothers from the same sect. It's a rare opportunity to meet each other today. I will introduce some friends to you." Zhou Tianyang was very satisfied with Chen Luo's attitude, and his words became more and more intimate.
The two of them entered the inner hall, talking and laughing.
By the time I walked in, the addresses had changed to brother and younger brother.
This scene made the gray-robed man at the back feel confused. He only knew that the two of them had just met not long ago. If someone else came here, they would think they were brothers who had been separated for many years.
When he walked into the house, Chen Luo found that there was already a group of people here.
The time he came just happened to coincide with their exchange meeting, a gathering for exchanging resources. Apart from the sects, independent cultivators and small immortal cultivation families all relied on this exchange meeting to exchange resources.
Chen Luo, who came in with Zhou Tianyang, instantly attracted the attention of several people in the room. Two of them were stunned when they saw him.
"Junior Brother Chen?"
Chen Luo looked over and couldn't help but smile.
It turned out to be Senior Brother Hu Qiudao.
The channel for the Hu family to exchange resources is also on Zhou Tianyang's side, but judging from the way they communicated this time, it is probably more than just exchanging resources. It is likely that after he revealed the sect's news, the old man of the Hu family decided to bet on both sides and began to contact the forces on the side of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
"Brother Hu."
Chen Luo smiled and cupped his hands.
Hu Qiudao was a little embarrassed. This kind of behavior of colluding with the enemy in private was not very glorious in the first place, and now he was caught by his junior fellow apprentice. However, Mr. Hu behind him responded with a smile.
In terms of shamelessness, Hu Qiudao is still too naive.
In addition to the Hu family, there are three other forces, two of which are immortal cultivation families like the Hu family, and they come from two small towns nearby. The third party is a group of weirdos in black robes. Sitting in the front is an old man with a face as dry as a corpse. This guy has a fierce look on his face, and there are three corpse puppets emitting evil spirits standing behind him. It is obvious that they are not decent people.
"My dear brother, you already know the Hu family. They are all fellow disciples of our sect, so there is no need to introduce them in detail."
Zhou Tianyang led them into the hall and introduced them one by one.
"This fairy is Fairy Guan Lin, the head of the Guan family in Xinhu City, and this venerable is Mingyue Dongxuan, the head of the Mingyue family in Xiangrui City." When Zhou Tianyang introduced them, they all responded with a smile.
Chen Luo also noticed that those who had seats were all masters in the late Qi Refining stage, while the younger ones in the early and middle Qi Refining stages could only stand at the back.
When he reached the back, Zhou Tianyang spoke a little faster.
He simply mentioned the name of the Corpse-Raising Sect, without giving the specific name.
“Hehehe.”
The Taoist mummy grinned, and his voice was that of a demon. He looked Chen Luo up and down, and seemed to be very interested in him.
“It’s very good.”
Chen Luo also smiled, but his eyes were on the three corpse puppets behind the Taoist Mummy, especially the one in the middle. The evil spirit on it could no longer be concealed, and there was a faint aura that it was about to be promoted to an iron corpse.
"I'll sit next to this Taoist brother. We seem to be destined to be together." After walking past the few people from the Corpse-Raising Sect, Chen Luo suddenly stopped and pointed to the empty seat next to him.
This made Zhou Tianyang pause for a moment, but he immediately reacted.
"It's up to you. Everyone is communicating privately. You can sit wherever you want."
After saying this, Zhou Tianyang returned to the main seat.
"This is my fellow disciple from the Immortal Sect, Junior Brother Chen Luo, who is also a strong man in the late stage of Qi Refining. With Brother Chen joining us, the scale of our exchange meeting has expanded again. If we continue to develop in this way, we will definitely be able to exchange for more resources and gather more like-minded people in the future."
A group of people spoke up to welcome him.
How sincere they are, only they themselves know.
"Most of us are going to Xianmen, and we are not gathering together to do anything that is detrimental to Xianmen."
"What Daoyou Zhou said makes sense."
The old man from Mingyue's family stroked his goatee and said with emotion.
"The Immortal Sect is declining, and we gather together only to protect ourselves. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for us to be independent cultivators!"
"What Fellow Daoist Mingyue said is exactly what I was thinking. We have decided to temporarily postpone the tax payment to the sect in the past two years. We will keep it for a while and pay it back when the sect recovers. This will also prevent the tax from being robbed by thieves during transportation, causing unnecessary losses."
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted a lot of support, even the old man of the Hu family agreed.
Chen Luo sat in his seat, listening to their business boasting. They were all a bunch of thick-skinned old guys, and their empty words could only fool young people like Hu Qiudao who had never seen the world. He didn't believe a word of it. In terms of shamelessness, he felt that this group of people was still a level lower than his uncle. When he used to drink wine without paying in the alley, the frank words he said were much better than this.
"This fellow Taoist seems to be very interested in my corpse refining?"
The Taoist mummy on the left suddenly spoke to Chen Luo. His voice was extremely hoarse and sounded very harsh.
"This is the first time I've seen such a powerful corpse refiner. I can't help but be a little curious." Chen Luo immediately lowered his posture and said sincerely.
"Of course. I dug this refined corpse out from an ancient relic. I don't know how many resources I spent to refine it." When talking about his refined corpse, a hint of pride flashed across the Taoist mummy's face.
What he was most satisfied with was his own corpse. It had great potential and was likely to be upgraded to an iron corpse!
"Oh? Digged out from ancient ruins."
Chen Luo became even more interested.
If you touch the brain of a corpse puppet of this level, you should be able to read something valuable.
"Such a refined corpse is truly a treasure. I wonder if you could let me observe your refined corpse up close. It would be even better if I could touch it." Chen Luo turned around and said to the Taoist mummy with a sincere face.
When these words were spoken, the Taoist Mummy was stunned.
You said...what?
The several men in black standing behind the Taoist mummy were also dumbfounded.
Touch the corpse puppet?
This was the first time they had heard of such a special hobby.
“It’s not impossible.” The Taoist mummy’s eyes changed when he looked at Chen Luo.
This guy seems to be even more perverted than him.
"Thank you very much, fellow Taoist." Chen Luo immediately stood up and stretched out his hand to touch the corpse behind the Taoist mummy.
"etc."
The Taoist Mummy blocked Chen Luo with one hand.
"I am also very interested in the ancient method of burying corpses. I wonder if you can teach me."
The burial man?
Ancient method?
Chen Luo also paused.
But he reacted quickly, and without saying anything, he patted his chest and made a promise.
"no problem."
Uncle San's craftsmanship really needs to be promoted. It's rare to meet someone who is interested, so of course we need to communicate more.
So Chen Luo took out a blank spiritual tablet in front of the Taoist priest and wrote down the skills of the person who buried the corpse. The precautions and props to be prepared were all written down.
"light and spacious!"
The Taoist monk took the scroll and took a look at it, and immediately confirmed the authenticity of the contents. Then he waved his hand, and the corpse behind him took the initiative to step forward and approach Chen Luo's hand.
The cold evil spirit approached, causing the temperature around it to drop a few degrees.
After removing the cover, Chen Luo could clearly sense the chill of the corpse. The eyes under the black hair were like those of a wild beast, emitting bloodthirsty coldness. The evil spirit was like a steel needle, piercing his palms and making them numb.
Chen Luo circulated the spiritual energy to the palm of his hand, blocked the evil spirit, then stretched out his palm and pressed it towards the head of the corpse.
'I have come into contact with the brain waves of a dead person. The damage is 99%. Do you want to read it?'
"Read!"
Seeing the familiar feedback, Chen Luo chose to read without saying a word.
