There are a lot of things in the Silent Taoist's storage bag, a large part of which are for ghost cultivators to improve their souls, and there are also a large number of auxiliary materials. These materials are collected around the Silent Taoist's own practice.
Chen Luo sorted out the things that were useless to him, took out the first- and second-level spiritual materials, and asked the puppet to take them to the surrounding markets to trade in exchange for spiritual materials that were useful to him.
Different techniques require different materials for breakthroughs.
Chen Luo did not follow the "corpse immortal path". In the materials for overcoming the tribulation, he needed to prepare a lot of spiritual materials with yang attributes. This information was sorted out by Chen Luo from the brains of the three high-level people. There is a big difference between the immortal cultivators eight thousand years ago and the immortal cultivators of later generations in breaking through the realm. The immortal cultivators eight thousand years later first look for corpses when breaking through the realm. Extract the power they need from the ancient corpses, integrate it into themselves, and use people as materials. The practitioners eight thousand years ago collected spiritual objects from heaven and earth and collected the five elements of heaven and earth to make up for their own deficiencies.
Chen Luo's main technique is the Heart Demon Technique, which is considered a soul technique according to the classification of this era and is of the yin attribute. When breaking through the realm, you must collect enough yang attribute spiritual materials, only in this way can you achieve a balance between yin and yang.
Then there is 'enlightenment'.
The most important thing for cultivators of this era to break through the Hedao realm is the word "enlightenment".
Only by understanding the immortal methods can you achieve immortality.
The most important thing in the state of harmony with the Tao is to "realize the Tao". Based on the Tao that one has realized, one can then gather external strength to refine the spirit and achieve harmony with the Tao with one's body.
Chen Luo sorted out the required Yang attribute materials and distributed them to more than 20 puppets, asking them to go down to collect and exchange them. The grade of these spiritual materials was not high, most of them were only first or second level, and the puppets in the foundation building stage were enough to complete this task.
A few days later.
A Taoist temple appeared on the top of the snow mountain.
Chen Luo was sitting cross-legged in the temple, practicing, with spiritual power surrounding him, constantly adjusting his state. Suddenly, a stream of light flew from a distance and landed in the hall.
"Master, this is the Xuanyang water you requested."
The spiritual light dissipated, and a puppet with tattered clothes and missing an arm handed the materials in his hand to Chen Luo, with no expression on his wooden face.
Looking at the broken puppet in front of him, Chen Luo frowned.
He sent out more than 20 puppets and brought down a lot of spiritual materials. However, after a few days, only one puppet came back, and it was in tatters. The rest did not come back. This made him a little annoyed. He had thought that he could handle it with a puppet at the foundation building stage, but after only three days, the puppet was hijacked!
These local immortal cultivators really don't know etiquette.
With a single wave of his hand, he collected the spiritual materials brought back by the puppet. Chen Luo raised his hand and the memories stored in the puppet's brain were immediately transferred to his mind.
The brains of these puppets were copied by him, and he could take them back at any time if he wanted.
"Jie Xiu?"
The puppets had very simple memories. After taking on the task assigned to them by Chen Luo, they went down the mountain. From finding the market to purchasing spiritual materials, everything went smoothly until an accident occurred on the way back. More than 20 of them were targeted by a group of robbery cultivators and experienced a tragic battle.
In the end, they were no match for the Jindan cultivators and all of them were defeated.
The spiritual materials bought in the market were also looted. The one who escaped back still used the escape technique. There happened to be a person proficient in the escape technique in the brain that Chen Luo copied, which is why this puppet came back with the Xuanyang Water.
The robbery cultivators who robbed spiritual materials were the most famous robbery cultivator force in the vicinity.
It's called 'Dragon Island'.
Almost all the larger immortal cultivation forces nearby have connections with Dragon Island. The island master of Dragon Island is a Yuanying Zhenjun. It is said that this person once worshipped Taoism and cultivated a superior immortal method. His magical skills are far beyond the reach of this small cultivator in a remote area.
The snowy mountain region where Chen Luo is located is also within the radiation range of Dragon Island.
"You even dare to steal my things."
Chen Luo was too lazy to ask about the origins of these people, and he had no interest in going to their homes in person to waste time with them.
After figuring out the identity of the person who made the move, he waved his hand and took a piece of white paper from the bookshelf next to him. The paper fluttered and landed on the desk in front of him, followed by the inkstone and the brush. These things seemed to have their own lives, falling neatly on the table, even the corners were compacted.
Chen Luo picked up the brush.
The aura on his body changed visibly.
Wisps of gray gas appeared on the surface of his body, and strange skulls appeared on his right hand holding the pen.
curse.
This magical power that Chen Luo hadn't used for a long time was just right for solving this kind of troublesome trivial matter. The curse brain in the external brain was particularly excited, and more than 30 curses popped up at once when Chen Luo picked up the pen.
Various miscellaneous spells such as blood curses and soul curses appeared in his mind.
Chen Luo raised his hand and took a piece of rag from the puppet. With a twist of his index finger, he crushed the rag into residue. The gray-black residue fell into the inkstone and mixed with the ink inside. A wisp of invisible breath merged into it, and when the brush was stained with ink, this wisp of breath also merged into it.
'Soul Curse.'
Chen Luo raised the pen and chose a curse.
The soul curse uses soul energy as a guide, and the curse method is simple and quick. It avoids the trouble of people coming to the door one by one. It can be said to be a necessary immortal method for killing people and practicing outside.
The pen moves like a dragon.
The word "curse" appeared on the rice paper.
When the pen tip was lifted, the word seemed to come alive, and a harsh sound was heard. Invisible forces merged into the void and spread far away.
Dragon Island.
A group of robbers were drinking in the cave.
I did a big deal today, robbing more than 20 foundation-building monks and earning a lot of Yang attribute spiritual materials. After getting these spiritual materials, I only need to resell them once to get a lot of profits. The brothers on the island can also get a lot of spiritual stones.
They had done similar things countless times. When the island was short of spirit stones, they would even go and rob people. They would capture some cultivators with the best potential, transform them into the cauldrons that the demon cultivators loved the most, and make money by selling them.
"If it weren't for the information from the Sky-Drilling Rat, we would definitely not have been able to find this group of people. When we divide the spirit stones later, we must give Brother Rat two more."
A burly man holding a bottle of spirit wine shouted loudly.
The Sky Rat next to him stood up quickly and said with a smile on his face. He was very short, hunched over, and wearing an inconspicuous gray leather coat. At first glance, he looked like a beggar on the street. However, this man was a mouse spirit in disguise, and his best skill was eavesdropping. There was no news near Dragon Island that he didn't know.
"I just eavesdropped on some information, it's nothing. The one who really contributed was Brother Tiger Shark. If he hadn't killed the leader with one strike, we wouldn't have gotten so many good things."
"Haha! No problem, no problem."
The burly man who spoke first became more and more satisfied.
He mentioned the Sky-Drilling Rat just to get him to speak for him. Although Dragon Island was a force of robbery cultivators, it also had its own factions. The most powerful one was naturally the island owner, who was a Yuanying Zhenjun. All the gains within Dragon Island had to be handed over to the island owner at 70%, and the remaining 30% was shared by them.
There are seven leaders under the island master, and all of them are Jindan Zhenren.
The tiger shark is one of them.
This time, Tiger Shark went out to rob in order to obtain more resources, recruit subordinates, and expand his power.
Different from the inheritance of the sect model, all the skills inherited in Dragon Island come from the island owner. If you want to obtain the skills in the hands of the island owner, you must hand over resources. Using resources to exchange for skills is the rule set by the Dragon Island owner.
"There was a fish that slipped through the net and escaped before. The foundation-building cultivator who can come up with so many resources may have other people behind him."
Someone said something out of the blue.
The scene was a little awkward, but soon became lively again. Tiger Shark and Sky Rat glanced at the woman who was talking next to them, and a hint of coldness flashed in their eyes. This woman was a strong man in the Fake Dan Realm. She usually did not rely on anyone and was considered a lone walker in Dragon Island. This time, in order to be foolproof, Tiger Shark specially invited several neutral robbery cultivators to be external aid, and this woman was one of them.
"So what? We have Tiger Shark Brother here."
Just as he was halfway through his words, his face suddenly turned dark, and a gray aura lit up from between his brows, spreading throughout his body in the blink of an eye. His body shook twice, and with a bang, he fell onto the table, dead.
Then the second one, and the third one.
The cultivators in the cave fell one after another like wheat being cut.
There was no struggle or resistance, and the death was so quick. The tiger shark and the female cultivator who were arguing just now stood up.
"curse?!"
The female cultivator's face turned pale and she reacted instantly.
"I've offended the wrong person!"
She flew out of the cave in a flash, her eyes full of fear. There were several people in the cave before who were as strong as her, but they were powerless to fight back against the curse and died without even a chance to scream. It felt like crushing an ant to death.
A tiger shark also flew out.
His speed is even faster than the female cultivator.
The moment he realized it was a curse, the first person he thought of was the island owner.
The curse that could silently kill so many powerful people was definitely not something that a Jindan Zhenjun like him could resist, so he had to find the island owner. Only a Yuanying Zhenjun like the island owner was qualified to negotiate with the other party.
“Save me!”
Looking at the tiger shark flying over, the female cultivator finally couldn't suppress her fear and cried out.
But soon the gray gas spread to her body, and then the eyes of the female cultivator dimmed, and her body was visibly decayed. The spiritual energy dissipated, and the body fell in a parabola, hitting a large rock, and the dry arms and head broke and rolled to the side.
The cave, which had been so noisy before, was now dead silent, with only the flames still dancing in the cave. The ground was littered with corpses.
Tiger Shark was not able to escape either. At the Jindan stage, he was no different from the Sky Rat and others who had died before.
The corpses fell from the sky, scattered into the cracks, and became nutrients for the plants in the mountains.
Following the soul curse, the curse spread radially in all directions. From above, it looked like a burning circle, burning from the center to the surroundings. The robbery cultivators on the island died one after another, and many died in the curse before they even had time to react.
The Dragon Island Master, who was regarded as a "life-saving hope" by the tiger shark, did not survive. His cultivation in the Nascent Soul Realm allowed him to live for two more breaths, and he uttered two words before he died.
"Spare my life."
Before he could finish his words, his life was completely gone.
A cold wind blew past, and Dragon Island was completely silent. (End of this chapter)
