Chapter 158 Gift
After returning from the capital, Chen Luo went to Ma Quezi's house again. Ma Quezi was still the same as before, and his junior sister He Min had married. Everyone had their own lives. Chen Luo did not disturb them, but secretly left them some elixirs. After finishing these trivial matters, Chen Luo did not stay any longer and went directly to the valley where his master Changqing Zhenren lived.
"Master, I'm back."
As soon as he entered the valley, Chen Luo spread his voice.
The worst situation that he had expected did not happen, which also made Chen Luo feel relieved. Changqing Zhenren's condition was not good. Chen Luo could clearly feel his decline. His life span had entered the countdown. If Chen Luo came back half a year later, he might not be able to see him.
"Why are you back? Did something happen?"
Zhenren Changqing walked out of the house and showed a hint of surprise on his face when he saw Chen Luo.
He never thought that he would have the chance to see this disciple again.
"Forget it, come in and talk."
Changqing Zhenren coughed twice and took Chen Luo back to the thatched cottage. Five years had passed, and Changqing Zhenren's valley still remained the same, and the house where Chen Luo lived in the past had not changed at all.
After the two men sat down, True Man Changqing coughed a few more times. His breath was now very weak, and his realm had dropped from the third level of Qi Refining to the first level of Qi Refining. When his spiritual power was exhausted, that would be the time for his death.
Chen Luo took out a Qi-nourishing Pill from his storage bag and handed it over.
"Eat this. It can slow down the consumption of spiritual energy."
“Is this a pill?”
Chang Qing Zhenren took the pill, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes. He had spent his whole life in the tomb, and had never seen a real pill. The things he had refined before could only be regarded as pills.
“A first-level elixir for the Qi Refining Realm.”
"Brother Dude and I joined a sect called Shenhu Xianmen, and we learned the art of alchemy in the sect."
Chen Luo and Changqing Zhenren described their experiences in the outside world of immortal cultivation, and also told him about the foundation-building techniques of the Shenhu Xianmen. For Chen Luo, Changqing Zhenren was his relative who led him into the Tao, and there was nothing he couldn't tell them.
".Is this what the outside is like?" Master Changqing was relieved.
Although I have never been there in person, Chen Luo's description has broadened my horizons. Compared with my two old friends, I am already lucky.
"The Shinto transformation has failed."
After a moment of silence, Changqing Zhenren also talked about his layout in the past few years. Just as Chen Luo guessed, the Shinto method that the three of them had switched to did not succeed. The isolation power of the tomb was beyond imagination, and their little tricks could not penetrate it at all.
"What realm are you in now?"
After talking about his experiences over the past five years, Master Changqing turned his attention to Chen Luo.
He had already tried to test this disciple just now, but he was completely unable to see through his abilities. The ocean-like fluctuations of spiritual energy gave him the feeling that it was like the sea, boundless and endless.
"Building the foundation."
Chen Luo stretched out his hand and condensed the spiritual power into his palm. A force far beyond that of a Qi-refining cultivator gathered into a ball and turned into a small ball that began to fluctuate irregularly.
“Is this the foundation building?”
Changqing Zhenren stared at Chen Luo's palm and was silent for a long time before he spoke. He had finally seen the realm behind the immortal path that he had been pursuing all his life.
“So this is the foundation-building immortal cultivator recorded in the classics.”
Chen Luo dispersed the spiritual power in his hand. He knew that Master Changqing had been chasing after the realm behind all his life. In order to find the way forward, he almost dug out all the ancient tombs of the Yue Kingdom. The "big tomb" that Chen Luo left was the one found by Master Changqing.
"Go see the scenery from a higher place for me."
Master Changqing felt relieved, then he stood up and walked to the cabinet next to him and knocked on it with his hand.
After a slight sound, the cabinet door moved away, revealing a passage.
"I originally left some gifts for you, and I wanted you to inherit them after you came back. Now that you are here, I will take you to see them. I hope they can be of some help to you."
As he spoke, Master Changqing took out a night-shining pearl from the side and walked into the passage first.
Seeing this, Chen Luo followed.
He just used his spiritual sense to explore it and found that there was actually a small formation inside, and his spiritual sense was unable to penetrate it.
The two walked for a while and soon came to the end of the passage. This was a square stone room with bluestone walls on both sides. Opposite was a huge stone door, more than half a meter thick. On the door panel opposite was a circular pattern with seven immortal characters engraved on it.
Tomb door?
With Chen Luo's vision, he recognized the mark on the stone door at a glance. No wonder his consciousness couldn't penetrate it. The immortal text engraved on the door was the knowledge that Changqing Zhenren had taught him before.
"The valley where I live is built on top of this ancient tomb."
Changqing Zhenren walked to the front and touched the seven immortal characters on it. As the immortal characters shone, the stone door slowly rose, revealing the dark tomb chamber inside.
I see.
No wonder Master Changqing stayed here.
After entering the tomb chamber, Zhenren Changqing walked to the stone platform in front and took out a box from it.
This thing should be the gift he prepared for Chen Luo.
"The life span of a Qi-refining cultivator is limited to 150 years. Xinhuo, I and the other two have all lived beyond this age. Do you know why?"
Chen Luo's heart moved, and he subconsciously looked at the box in Master Changqing's hand.
"Eighty years ago, I dug here when I was exploring the way out of the tomb. Inside this tomb, I found a magical medicine." While speaking, Zhenren Changqing handed the box in his hand to Chen Luo.
When he opened it, he saw a small rectangular wooden box inside. This box was exactly the Soul Sealing Box that Chen Luo had seen before. This box was obviously made with more care, and the materials used were all top-grade.
"That spiritual medicine was eaten by Xinhuo, me and the other two. I was able to break through to the third level of Qi Refining because of that spiritual medicine."
Magic medicine?
Chen Luo knew that the spiritual medicine was definitely not an ordinary one. It allowed True Man Changqing and others to break through their cultivation in this spiritual land. It also broke the upper limit of the life span of Qi-refining cultivators. The efficacy of the medicine can be imagined.
"Open the box and take a look."
Zhenren Changqing gestured.
Chen Luo opened the box and found a piece of root inside.
"I left this piece of root on purpose. The elixir is extraordinary. If you have a chance in the future, you can try to grow it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Luo quickly picked up the root and looked at it.
I don’t know what spiritual creature these roots are from, but even though they have been left for so long, the spirituality in them has not been completely eliminated. If I have the chance in the future, I must plant them out.
“This is the first gift.”
After signaling Chen Luo to put the things away, Chang Qing Zhenren coughed a few more times. He did not hesitate and swallowed the Qi-nourishing Pill that Chen Luo gave him. After the pill entered his stomach, his complexion improved a lot, but this improvement was only temporary. Chang Qing Zhenren's real problem was that his life span had come to an end.
The deadline is approaching, and life and death cannot be reversed.
After recovering from the shock, Zhenren Changqing walked to the other side. This was originally the place where the owner of the tomb had sat in meditation, and there was naturally a stone coffin placed inside.
“This is the second gift.”
Zhenren Changqing knocked on the sarcophagus and spoke.
coffin?
Chen Luo suddenly perked up, took two steps forward, and indeed saw a corpse.
"Remember I told you about my Baixian Cave before?"
"Remember."
Chen Luo nodded.
When he first entered the Dao, he remembered very clearly that he was enrolled as a disciple in the Baixian Cave. Unfortunately, the Baixian Cave was too mysterious, and he did not get any relevant information after asking around for a long time.
"This person is the real disciple of Baixian Cave."
Disciple of Baixian Cave?
Chen Luo walked over, put on deerskin gloves skillfully, and placed one hand on the head of the person in the coffin.
'I have come into contact with the brain waves of a dead person. The damage is 99%. Do you want to read it?'
Read!
A strong energy flowed in through his arm. Such a strong power fluctuation made Chen Luo stunned for a moment. Then the obsession in the corpse's mind emerged, with only one sentence.
"If I could return to Baixian Cave, I would definitely be able to condense a high-grade golden elixir. Unfortunately, this place of no spirits has cut off my path forward."
Golden elixir!
This guy is actually a Jindan cultivator.
Chen Luo had never expected that he would get his first Jindan cultivator's brain so easily. The Yue Kingdom Tomb was indeed his blessed land.
"cough"
It took a long time for the Zhenren Changqing next to him to interrupt Chen Luo's actions.
He had heard about his apprentice's special hobby before, but he didn't expect him to be so impatient. He got started right after they met, and judging by his skillful movements when putting on gloves, he must have done this a lot.
"I can't help it."
Chen Luo withdrew his hand and replied somewhat embarrassedly.
"The highest level of cultivation method of the Shenhu Xianmen that you told me about before can only be practiced to the late stage of foundation building." Zhenren Changqing continued.
"Although I don't know the difference between modern and ancient methods, I can tell you clearly that the person lying in the coffin is a Jindan cultivator."
Having said that, Master Changqing looked at Chen Luo deliberately and found that he was not surprised at all.
"In the ancient method, the foundation-building process is divided into four stages, namely the initial stage, the middle stage, the late stage and the perfect stage. Once you reach the perfect stage, you can condense your magical powers and impact the golden elixir! You can become the legendary land immortal."
"Master, do you have the ancient method of forming the elixir?"
Chen Luo's heartbeat quickened when he heard this. If he could really obtain the method of forming a pill, it didn't matter whether it was a modern method or an ancient method, as long as he could practice it, it would be fine. In the outside world of immortal cultivation, the emergence of a method for forming a pill would be enough to cause a war among the three sects, and any foundation-building cultivator would be jealous when seeing it.
"No."
Master Changqing shook his head.
"But this corpse has one. I'll give it to you. Study it carefully. Maybe you can find a way to form a pill that suits you."
As expected of a master who came from a tomb-robbing background, the gift he gave to people was corpses.
Chen Luo was speechless. He glanced at the corpse in the coffin and put the body away.
The art of cultivating immortals is different from martial arts. There is no corresponding technique, and it is difficult to deduce it only through a corpse. However, this corpse is not completely useless. The "corpse-raising method" he learned from the mummy brother can finally be used.
Using the corpse of a Jindan cultivator to refine a corpse is such a luxurious thing that no one in the Seven Kingdoms has ever tried it.
After delivering the gifts, Master Changqing took Chen Luo back to the front room.
He also gave Chen Luo all the immortal knowledge he had compiled over the years. This time he was telling Chen Luo about his last wishes, and Chen Luo did not refuse, but just quietly put these things away.
This is what is called inheritance.
"Go, and don't come back. This tomb is a forbidden place for immortal cultivators. Your future is still far away, and you shouldn't stay in the tomb."
Valley mouth.
Zhenren Changqing said to Chen Luo.
His figure was somewhat hunched.
