Chapter 229: Home
After leaving the cave, Chen Luo first went back to Gumo Mountain.
Everything on the mountain was still the same as when he left. With the second-level formation guarding it, and the vicious reputation of Gu Demon Han Jiu, no one would come to cause trouble in the short term. In the long life span of a foundation-building cultivator, a few years or even dozens of years was just a matter of practicing in seclusion.
"Mountain Master!"
Looking at Chen Luo flying down, Ding Zhao, who was quietly practicing outside the house using a second-level spiritual vein, stood up nervously in an instant.
Looking at this former junior brother, Ding Zhao felt that his aura was like the ocean, even more powerful. But he couldn't sense how powerful he was. He hadn't even reached the perfection of Qi Refining yet, and building a foundation was a natural barrier for him. Naturally, he couldn't sense Chen Luo's true realm.
"Did anything happen on the mountain while I was away?"
Chen Luo returned to the house.
In the room, Ding Zhao had already had people purchase the herbs that he had asked him to buy when he left the mountain. Except for a few main herbs that were not available on the market, the quantity was enough for him to practice for several years. It must be said that the decision to accept Ding Zhao and the other five as registered disciples was a very good one.
"Everything is normal on the mountain, but three more families have come to us, hoping to take refuge with us."
"Send him away."
Chen Luo waved his hand to interrupt. He had accepted the thirteen families including the Sun family as vassals before because he had no one to order him around at that time. Now he had everything he needed and there was no need to cause himself this trouble. The more vassals he had, the more trouble he would cause. If he couldn't handle one of them well, even his own practice might be delayed.
"yes."
Ding Zhao immediately took note of this matter, and then briefly reported to Chen Luo the details of what happened during the time he was away from the mountain.
Chen Luo basically didn't care about these things, but he would go to listen every time he came back. This could prevent the people below from using his name to cause trouble and attract unnecessary powerful enemies.
Ding Zhao’s ability was very good, and the troublesome situation of pitting the mountain master did not occur.
"There is a problem with the supply chain of Golden Phoenix Dew and Seven Rock Leaves. The whereabouts of the master of Pingshanjian, Yinfeng Shangren, are unknown. The entire Pingshanjian was attacked by a mysterious strong man. Several boys on the mountain were cursed to death. Now the market of Pingshanjian is in chaos and the supply of goods has been temporarily cut off."
"The boy from Pingshanjian was cursed to death?"
Chen Luo narrowed his eyes, thinking of Master Yinfeng who had parted with him last time. This guy was indeed decisive enough, he ran away without even caring about his subordinates. Those rat demons were also miserable enough, they took the blame for their master for nothing. As for the person who killed them, it was obvious that he must be a foundation-building person from the Demon Sect, and it might be the Sect Master himself.
Chen Luo killed Shi Jun, which affected the old guy's magic cultivation.
The hatred for someone who blocks my path is a deadly hatred!
He ran fast, and because he was not well-known, the leader of the Zhongmo Sect could not find his whereabouts, so the relatively famous Master Yinfeng of Pingshanjian became the target of revenge. What happened to Pingshanjian was the counterattack of the Zhongmo Sect.
We must find an opportunity to resolve this troublesome situation of the Demon Sect Leader as soon as possible.
Now that we have a grudge, we must find an opportunity to kill him.
To prevent future troubles.
The other party must have thought so too, otherwise he would not have acted so decisively.
"Pingshanjian is in chaos right now. Several people we sent over there have not been able to come back."
"Don't worry about it for now."
Chen Luo waved his hand and continued to ask.
"Anything else?"
"Senior Su came here once two months ago,"
After finishing his daily affairs, Ding Zhao immediately took out a communication token from his arms and handed it to Chen Luo.
The communication talisman is a second-level spiritual talisman. When he killed the Demon Sect's master Jun before, he picked up a set of relevant knowledge about second-level spiritual talismans for free. Now the brain of the second-level talisman master has "recalled" the experience of drawing talismans in his previous life. Chen Luo plans to wait for some free time to practice this feeling back to avoid the situation of "the brain knows but the hands don't".
"Su Linlin?"
Chen Luo thought of the fox girl. This woman had helped him a lot. During these years when he was practicing in Gumo Mountain, many resources and skills were obtained from this woman. He had even made a special trip to Tushan before and got in touch with the other party.
After asking Ding Zhao to leave, Chen Luo stretched out his hand and tapped the communication talisman.
A streak of light floated out from the surface of the talisman and quickly transformed into a piece of information.
"Brother, I have received information about the 'secret art of forming a golden elixir'. If you are interested, you can come to Tushan to find me." The information flashed by, and the talisman in his hand burned to ashes.
The secret technique of forming the elixir?
He had heard of this thing several times. The first time was when Master Yinfeng told him that someone had obtained a secret technique that could condense a "fake pill seed". Then there was Elder Rong Ling's "secret technique to avoid disaster" in Black Stone City. The one Su Linlin mentioned now was the third secret technique to condense a pill.
Most of these secret techniques were dug out from ruins. They are the secret methods of forming elixir summarized by ancient monks in the past. They are different from the current practice system, but they are still very valuable for reference.
Chen Luo frowned and pondered, he remembered Elder Rong Ling's "Secret Art of Avoiding Disaster". In the past few years, there have been more and more news about the secret art of forming elixir in the evil cultivation area, he always felt that there was something wrong behind this matter.
Big problem.
He is currently at a level where he cannot see clearly the fog behind. In this situation, the best way to deal with it is to be steady first.
After putting Su Linlin's matter aside, Chen Luo took a short rest, then stood up and walked out.
There is a cliff in front of the cave. In the past, Chen Luo liked to sit on the edge of the cliff to practice and watch the people in the town below, but this time he walked to the back mountain for some unknown reason.
There is a small river here.
Walking to the large bluestone by the river, Chen Luo stopped in a shadow and looked at the river in front of him. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to go fishing.
He raised his hand.
The tree next to him shook, and a branch flew out and fell into his hand. He then tapped a few times nearby, and wisps of breath condensed, turning some spider web-like materials into silk threads, which he wrapped around the branches. Finally, he took out a needle-shaped magic weapon from the storage bag, bent it with his hands, and hung it on the rope.
Looking at the newly made fishing rod in his hand, Chen Luo felt inexplicably happy.
During his life of inner demon calamity, he had gotten used to fishing.
He took a step forward, walked to the large bluestone and sat cross-legged. He swung the fishing line and it fell into the water with a "plop".
The river was flowing slowly, and the water was so clear that you could see the fish swimming below. Chen Luo's hook was suspended on the water, without even a bait on it. A few fat fish swam by without even stopping.
The mountain breeze blows gently, creating ripples.
Chen Luo sat alone on the large bluestone, just like 'Second Brother Zhang' in the inner demon calamity.
As his mind became more in tune with his state of mind, the Heart Demon Art began to work involuntarily. The spiritual power drawn from Elder Rong Ling once again drove the spiritual power in his body and began to increase slowly. Gumo Mountain was also a second-level spiritual vein, which was enjoyed exclusively by Chen Luo, and his cultivation speed was not slow.
Time passes.
The branches sway gently, the water flows gently, and my heart slowly calms down.
One day and one night.
Not a single fish was caught. The fish on this mountain are much smarter than the fish in the Heart Demon Tribulation. With his spiritual power greatly increased, Chen Luo retracted his fishing rod and prepared to get up. Unexpectedly, a sound suddenly came from the foot of the mountain. He spread his spiritual sense and saw three people carrying iron swords flying quickly towards the mountain, and they were about to touch the formation on the mountain.
“Who is it?!”
Ding Zhao and the other five registered disciples immediately noticed something was wrong, and Sun Yanyan started to scold them. Compared to the four people who were still questioning, Ding Zhao directly raised his hand and used a magical power.
This is Gumo Mountain. No matter who the visitors are, Ding Zhao believes that protecting the interests of the mountain owner is the top priority. If these people dare to enter the mountain, they are trampling on the interests of the mountain owner. Saying any more nonsense is a waste. This is how he handled affairs when he was in Shenhu Xianmen. Anyone who dares to lay hands on the interests of the Xianmen will be killed!
From this point we can see the difference between Ding Zhao and Sun Yanyan and other disciples from independent cultivation families. They act more decisively and are more responsible.
Three gusts of wind broke through the air and slashed towards the three people.
Ding ding ding!!
The three figures quickly stopped their actions. The one in front spun the sword in his hand and immediately shattered the three gusts of wind that Ding Zhao had shot out. The one behind him directly raised his hand and counterattacked Ding Zhao.
"enemy!!"
At this time, Sun Yanyan and others also reacted.
They quickly dispersed, each using their own magical powers to deal with the villains who had entered the mountain. The three sword-carrying men were all experts in the Qi Refining Realm, and Ding Zhao and his five companions were unable to take them down in a short while.
"White Jade Hand!"
Ding Zhao dodged a spurt of sword energy and raised his right hand. The area from the elbow down instantly turned white jade color. Then he appeared and pressed his palm precisely on the back of a person's head.
Phew!
The right hand with white light was like pinching tofu, instantly crushing the head of the leading sword-carrying man into pulp, blood bursting out. Ding Zhao's white jade hand hit the chest of the man behind him with unabated force, knocking the other two people away.
One strike killed the enemy, one died and two were injured. It can be seen that Ding Zhao has made great progress in recent years and did not waste the second-level spiritual vein of Gumo Mountain.
The two injured men fell to the ground, their bodies twitched twice, and they died instantly.
"Brother Ding, these people are..."
Sun Yanyan wanted to go over to check the situation, but after taking two steps, she saw a burst of black air suddenly coming out of the three dead people. The three auras condensed into an old human face in the air, and then went into Ding Zhao's chest.
Seeing this scene, the faces of several people changed instantly.
Ding Zhao, who was hit, only felt a pain in his heart and fell to the ground all of a sudden. His heart seemed to be pinched by someone and began to twitch violently. The spiritual power in his body reversed and gathered towards Ding Zhao's heart like crazy.
The spiritual power was flowing backwards, and if all of it were gathered together, Ding Zhao would explode and die instantly.
"It's a curse!"
"The man who flattens the mountain stream."
Sun Yanyan and others reacted quickly. They had all been in charge of Pingshanjian's business and naturally knew what had happened there.
