In the dark cave, cold water drops dripped down the stone wall, making a "tick-tick" sound.
As soon as he walked in, he smelled a pungent smell. The cave was dark and damp, and there was a pungent odor. A huge black snake collapsed in the middle of the cave, and blood was still gushing out of its head. Its body was already stiff and motionless. With Chen Luo's strength, the curse was naturally not something the snake could resist. Not to mention that it had eaten Chen Luo's talisman paper man, making the curse bloom inside, and the effect was naturally better.
There was a pile of bones in the corner, some from wild animals and some from humans. In addition to the bones, there was also a lot of debris, but these things were smashed by the black snake's struggle before death. The top of the cave was also bumpy, and there was a large hole more than three meters wide at the top, which was stained with some blood. It should have been caused by the giant snake's head hitting it at the last moment.
"A demon beast at the foundation building stage."
Chen Luo sensed the power emanating from the black snake's body and determined its strength when it was alive.
A second-level demon beast is extremely rare in the territory of She Country. If it weren’t for other things involved this time, Chen Luo would not have been able to discover it.
'Contacted with the brain waves of a dead person, damage level 57%, do you want to read it?'
He walked over, touched it with his hand, and picked up a brain.
The brains of monsters are also different from those of humans. Although they are only at the Foundation Establishment stage, they also have their uses.
After collecting the brain, Chen Luo searched the cave again and soon found the bone with Xue Ning's scent in the pile of debris. The bone fell next to a skeleton and was covered by mud. If it weren't for the divine sense to detect it, it would not be found at all.
'The soul has returned.'
Chen Luo called upon Xue Ning's brain and gently drew two circles on the bones.
Spiritualism.
This is one of the martial arts that Xue Ning is good at. Chen Luo inherited Xue Ning's legacy and naturally he has read this knowledge.
The cold wind blew, and a hazy figure condensed on the bones. This figure was the mute slave left by Xue Ning. This guy was really unlucky. He was practicing in the mountains, but he ran into a second-level giant snake and was swallowed by it as prey. The token left by Xue Ning was also swallowed into its stomach.
"Where are my things?"
Chen Luo looked at the ghost of the mute slave and asked.
The ghost of the mute slave was stunned for a moment, as if he did not recognize Chen Luo's identity. However, the effect of the necromancy was not subject to personal will, so he instinctively raised his hand and pointed to the pile of debris beside him.
Chen Luo looked over.
The junk pile was in a mess. Under a pile of black rotten wood, there was a small black iron box hidden. There was a layer of soul restriction on the surface of the iron box, which could only be unlocked with the presence of a mute slave.
This iron box is the second treasure that Xue Ning asked the mute slave to prepare.
The first item is soul liquid, which is used to practice the Thousand Silk Technique.
Chen Luo stretched out his hand, took the iron box out from the pile of debris, and hung it in front of him. With a "click", the iron box opened, revealing a crystal clear bead inside. This bead was the gem that Xue Ning prepared for the "Upper Realm Skills". It could enhance spiritual awareness and was a must-have for the subsequent practice of the Thousand Silk Technique to control puppets.
“Not bad.”
After putting away the things, Chen Luo walked over and picked up the dominoes. The dominoes were buried in the blood and smelled terrible. Chen Luo was too lazy to clean it up, so he just raised his hand and extracted the energy from the dominoes.
A pale white dot of light merged into the palm of my hand.
This thing is the core of the dominoes. After putting the things away, Chen Luo also put the giant snake corpse next to it into the storage bag.
The corpse of a demon beast in the Foundation Establishment Stage should be able to be sold for some money in another place.
After finishing all these, Chen Luo stood up and walked out of the cave. When the woodcutters outside saw him coming out, they couldn't help but shout out in joy.
"Immortal."
Following the first woodcutter's instruction, the other woodcutter all made similar noises. They kowtowed to Chen Luo, hoping to get more rewards. Unfortunately, Chen Luo did not reward them again, as he had already paid for the guide's fee.
Without paying any attention to the woodcutters who were kowtowing to him, he leaped up and turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky.
A few days later.
Chen Luo stood in a small courtyard
He glanced around and stopped beside a plant. He had never seen this kind of plant in Sheguo before.
The dominoes record a secular gang.
Xue Ning has been planning this place for more than 200 years, and the people he uses are all trained by himself, not the ghost temple's minions. From this point of view, Xue Ning had already planned everything here before joining the Ghost Temple. It's a pity that no matter how long-term the plan is, people must be able to live to that day.
"Greetings, Lord!"
Soon, a group of people outside heard the sound and rushed back. These people came back to report after receiving the signal. Xue Ning's existence was a secret to the people here. Many of them knew that there was a master behind him, but no one knew who this master was and what he looked like.
This was also the method Xue Ning left behind to avoid being tracked down. With the secret ghost cultivation technique she left behind, she was not afraid of these people rebelling.
"Why are there only a few of you? Where is the forum master?"
Chen Luo was dressed in black and had a mask on his face.
This was Xue Ning's previous look. When he was looting, he scraped the ground three feet deep, so naturally he brought it out with him.
The environment here is very different from the scenes in Xue Ning's memory. In the intermittent memory that Chen Luo read, Xue Ning arranged a lot of nodes in this area and trained a lot of people. The last time the mute slave reported to her, the island organization had grown to more than 200 people, making it the largest force on the island, and even had minions on many surrounding islands. But in this yard, there are only about 20 people at most, and they are all malnourished. The strongest one is only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and there is not even a Qi Refining cultivator at the perfect level.
"The altar master was eaten by the Black Horn King"
Someone in the crowd whispered.
Dead?
"Who is the Black Horn King?"
Chen Lou frowned.
Xue Ning didn't have any memory of these things, and he didn't know whether they were changes that happened later or only occurred in recent years.
Hearing Chen Luo's question, several subordinates looked suspicious.
They reported the matter of the Black Horn King thirty years ago, and the Lord replied to them at that time, telling them to be careful and dormant. As long as the basic base is not lost, he will naturally deal with the Black Horn King when he comes. But now it seems that the Lord in front of him is completely unaware of this. Looking again, it is found that this Lord is indeed a little different. His height and aura have changed. The previous Lord was petite and had a cold aura, but the current person has no evil aura and looks more like a righteous cultivator.
"Are you really the Lord?"
The cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining had a look of doubt on his face.
A faint light flashed in Chen Luo's eyes behind the mask, and the soul barrier emerged. The cultivator who asked the question felt a headache and immediately covered his head and screamed on the ground.
"Please spare my life, my Lord, please spare my life!"
It took a long time for Chen Luo to regain his strength.
The controlled cultivator knelt on the ground in fear, no longer daring to question. He could only lower his head and retell the story of the Black Horn King.
"Seventy years ago, a black fish spirit in the archipelago successfully transformed into a dragon and called himself the Black Horn King. He took over the entire island area based on the archipelago. Our Qinglong Gang was specially taken care of by the Black Horn King because our name violated taboos. It was at that time that the leader and his gang were eaten."
"Where are the things I asked you to keep?"
Chen Luo interrupted all the chattering nonsense. He came here to inherit Xue Ning's legacy, improve his own cultivation, and pave the way for the Nascent Soul.
It was against his original intention to cause trouble to others over such trivial matters.
".It was taken away by the Black Horn King."
Sensing Chen Luo's impatience, the stall owner who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining said in panic.
The three treasures left by Xue Ning.
Soul fluid corresponds to the soul, the orb corresponds to the consciousness, and the last one is a treasure for body refining. Xue Ning collected these three things after going through untold hardships. Each one is a necessity for practicing the "Upper Realm Skills". Although Chen Luo did not follow Xue Ning's path, he had already reserved these things.
I promised to help Fellow Daoist Xue manage his estate, how can I go back on my word?
"Everyone disperse. Do everything as usual, and don't let anyone know that I'm here."
Chen Luo turned around and went back to the house, ready to learn more about the immortal cultivation structure on the island, and at the same time began to think about the practice of the Heart Demon Sutra.
"yes."
Hearing Chen Luo's order, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, leaving only the acting leader behind.
"Bring me the news about King Blackhorn, and information about other island gangs."
Chen Luo walked back into the house and sat down. He glanced at the acting leader of the seventh level of Qi training who was waiting outside the door, then casually took out a pill and threw it over.
If you want your subordinates to do things, you naturally need to reward them. Giving them a beating and then a red date is the most basic way to control people. Although Chen Luo has never been a leader, he still understands the basic principles.
"Also... recruit some extremely vicious people. I can use them."
The acting leader didn't understand what was going on, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He could only take the pills and go back to work.
After sending these people away, Chen Luo turned his attention back.
Xue Ning's relics were the first thing to do, and the second thing was to 'plant the demon'. The Heart Demon Technique required a large number of people with intense emotional fluctuations to practice, and it didn't matter whether they had spiritual roots or not. He planned to find some people to try the first batch, and let the gang members help him spread it. He himself was going to go out and find some higher quality brains and 'heart demon materials'.
Chen Luo's arrival did not attract anyone's attention.
The members of the Qinglong Gang gradually became active under Chen Luo's orders. In just a few months, they recruited a large number of "gang members", all of whom practiced the magical skills passed down to them by Chen Luo.
The demon seeds were successfully planted, and Chen Luo, like an old farmer, quietly waited for the seeds to take root and sprout.
There was also a lot of progress in the collection of brains. Because Chen Luo only wanted skulls, the Qinglong Gang bought a lot of skulls through the market. There were some from the Qi Refining Realm and some from the Foundation Establishment Realm. After careful selection, Chen Luo selected a lot of special brains and discarded all other low-level brains. (End of this chapter)
