The shovel was waved and black mud flew.
Digging graves is a technical job, especially for graves in the world of immortal cultivation, where it is easy to hide some dirty things. Sometimes the tomb owner will set up prohibitions, arrays, mechanisms, etc. in the tomb. Some even leave their pets in the tomb as tomb guardian beasts.
Without strong strength, tomb robbing will never go far in the world of immortal cultivation.
Fortunately, Chen Luo has some knowledge of these industries, and he can solve all the difficulties encountered in digging graves by himself.
Snap!!
After the shovel dug out a piece of white jade, the sarcophagus hidden underneath was revealed.
This coffin belongs to the owner of Lonely Mountain back then.
This person was not a great immortal when he was alive, and his body was not worth refining. In addition, all the useful things in the tomb had been dug out, so the body was naturally thrown here. As the biggest winner of the Jiliao Mountain Ruins, Lingxuzi wrote down many clues related to the ruins in the sect, and the location of this corpse was found by Chen Luo in the sect.
Putting the shovel aside, Chen Luo reached out and grabbed it.
Several array patterns beside him lit up, trying to stop his power. But Chen Luo was prepared, the white jade slab he had dug out before was the energy source of the ban.
The silk-like restraining thread stretched straight, and after holding on for about three breaths, it broke with a "bang". Chen Luo dug out the heavy sarcophagus, along with the bodies of several tomb robbers.
“Gifts should not be wasted.”
Chen Luo collected all the brains of these tomb robbers. He had very few brains available at the moment, and was not yet at the stage of pursuing high-quality products. For now, he could only use quantity first, and consider the issue of quality when he had enough reserves later.
The brains of the thirteen tomb robbers were quickly read out by Chen Luo.
They are all cultivators who are in the first step of cultivating immortals. The strongest one is only in the initial stage of Jindan. The rest are all casual cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages and are not of much value.
“Something is better than nothing.”
Throwing the tomb robber's skull aside, Chen Luo reached out and opened the sarcophagus.
'Corpse poison.'
'Nine Yin Corpse Water.'
'The Curse of the Three Souls.'
Several thoughts suddenly popped up in the external brain.
The power in Chen Luo's palms kept changing, and he easily broke the last arrangement in the sarcophagus.
Bang!
The stone coffin lid fell to the ground with a sound.
A strong smell escaped from the coffin. Chen Luo used his spiritual power to dispel the smell. After confirming that there was no danger, he reached out to read the tomb owner's brain. The gray aura merged into his body, and a hint of surprise flashed in Chen Luo's eyes.
He read an obsession in this brain.
'Why can't I comprehend the True Immortal Scripture? What went wrong?'
True Immortal Scripture?
This name immediately caught Chen Luo's attention.
He remembered that a long time ago, he had practiced a technique called "True Immortal Scripture", but unfortunately this technique could only be used to refine Qi, and there was no realm after the foundation. Not long after practicing, Chen Luo abandoned this Qi-refining method and turned to practice the Heart Demon Technique taught to him by Wuwei Zhenren.
"It's also called the True Immortal Scripture? Is there any connection between the two?"
Chen Luo searched inside the coffin for a while but did not find any scriptures.
The inside of the sarcophagus was very clean. There was nothing valuable except a few rotten bones. This was expected. If there were other spiritual objects in the coffin, it would not be his turn to dig up the body. He did not encounter much resistance when he opened the coffin before. It seemed that someone had opened the coffin before him. The dozen or so tomb robbers lying beside the tomb were the best proof.
Chen Luo carefully examined the tomb owner's obsession.
Some more fragmentary information was found.
The tomb owner was named Situ Yu, a cultivator who specialized in puppetry. Situ Yu was not good at fighting with others, but was best at puppetry. When he was alive, he had created a medium-sized force, which had as many as 10,000 people at its peak.
From mortals to immortals, everything is included.
When Situ Yu was alive, no one noticed anything wrong. It was not until Situ Yu died that everyone realized that the medium-sized force he founded was full of puppets from top to bottom. There was only one real living person, Situ Yu himself. This incident caused a great sensation at the time, and Situ Yu's puppetry was even boasted to be comparable to the magic of the immortals in the upper realm.
Lingxuzi created the current Lingxu Cave Heaven after he had robbed some of Situ Yu's relics. The same is true for the Yangji Venerable. I wonder how many similar small and medium-sized sects there are.
“It’s just right for use.”
Chen Luo also has a puppeteer brain, which is the enemy he killed in the Emperor's Tomb. This puppeteer's brain helped him a lot, and Chen Luo often used this brain when exploring unknown areas. But with the rapid improvement of strength, the previous puppeteer's brain obviously couldn't keep up with the progress. The appearance of Situ Yu just made up for this defect.
Moreover, Situ Yu is an immortal cultivator outside the Emperor's Tomb. The puppetry he practices will not attract anyone's attention if it is released.
At most, some people would sigh that he was lucky to have inherited Situ Yu's legacy, but no one would have thought that he would be the alien in the restricted area who "came alive" with Situ Yu's brain.
"The treasure in Lingxuzi's hand cannot be let go."
After covering the coffin, Chen Luo buried the tomb owner again.
After changing his body aura, Lu Chen turned back into Lingxu Dongtian and returned to the sect.
At this time, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
The Anode Venerable who was hiding in Wu Cheng's room noticed Chen Luo's whereabouts, but he didn't think much about it. One night is too short for cultivators of their level. It's not enough time to refine a furnace of Qi and Blood Pills!
Returning to Lingxu Cave Heaven again, Chen Luo clearly felt the difference.
There are several forces hidden under the mountain of Lingxu Dongtian. These people disguise themselves as ordinary people and mingle in the market. They do business like ordinary people, and the most important thing is that ordinary people can't detect the problem at all. In the eyes of ordinary people without spiritual roots, these hidden immortal cultivators are their neighbors and old friends they have known for most of their lives.
"It's not just Yangjidongtian."
Chen Luo was observing in secret.
He originally thought that the enemy of Lingxu Dongtian was only Yangji Tianzun. Now it seems that Yangji Tianzun is just a chess piece in the open, and the people behind him are the real competitors. For those who want to touch "his treasures", Chen Luo has always "strike first to gain the upper hand".
"Find someone first."
Chen Luo reached out and took out a puppet from the cave gourd, and gave it a little spiritual power.
The puppetry in the Emperor's Tomb, under the control of Situ Yu's brain, had a completely different effect. This ordinary puppet seemed to come alive, with four expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness on its face. Then, under Chen Luo's gaze, the puppet put on its clothes, pushed the door and walked out.
Afterwards, Chen Luo followed the same method and released more than twenty puppets.
These puppets were all refined by him when he was in the Emperor's Tomb. Now that they are used, the effects are completely different.
After releasing the puppet, Chen Luo pushed the door and walked out. Soon he found his junior sister Zhong Yan who was working in the market building of Lingxu Cave Heaven.
"Why didn't the Sangmu Valley's spiritual vein pay tribute to you with spiritual stones this month?"
When Chen Luo entered the room, Zhong Yan was scolding the chief steward of the market town.
No sect exists alone.
The same is true for Lingxu Dongtian. They are like landlords, distributing various resource points under their control to different immortal cultivation families for management. These immortal cultivation families that have obtained authority will hand over most of their operating income to the sect to maintain their entire power.
Lingxu Cave Heaven is now in crisis, and problems have arisen in many links.
The most common situation is not being able to collect spirit stones.
Many of these questions were forced. The Yangji Venerable who plotted against Lingxu Dongtian wanted to use this method to force Lingxuzi down the mountain. There were also a few bold people who took advantage of the situation, but in the chaos, one or two of them could no longer be managed. The Sangmu Valley that Zhong Yan was talking about was one of the larger spiritual veins. If the spiritual stones in this place were cut off, the impact on their Lingxu Dongtian would be visible to the naked eye. The most direct change would be the impact on the supply of the sect's formation.
"this"
Cold sweat broke out on the butler's forehead.
He was just a foundation-building cultivator, and what he was best at doing on weekdays was settling accounts. In this kind of game between sects, his insignificant strength was no different from that of an ant.
"You go out first."
Chen Luo pushed the door open from outside.
The butler felt relieved when he heard the voice. He thanked him and immediately retreated.
"Brother?"
"It's useless to ask him about this. If he can solve this problem, he won't have to make a living here." Chen Luo walked over to sit next to Zhong Yan. There are more than 20 puppets walking outside now. He has copied a brain on each puppet. Spreading out is like more than 20 spiritual amplifiers. With the existence of these clones, he will soon find the person behind the scenes.
After solving the hidden trouble behind the scenes, he went up the mountain to confront Lingxuzi.
It's not his style to beat around the bush.
He had no interest in wasting time in this small sect.
"But even so, we can't just do nothing." Zhong Yan was still a little dissatisfied.
"Leave it to me."
Chen Luo comforted Zhong Yan.
Zhong Yan and Lu Chen were brought up by Lingxuzi. When Chen Luo wanted to confront Lingxuzi later, the most important thing was to understand his personality and temper. Then, based on his temper and personality, he could decide whether to overturn the table or continue to be "Lu Chen".
“No!”
Zhong Yan immediately refused.
She naturally knew the reason why Sangmu Valley could not deliver the spiritual stones, and she had only vented her emotions by scolding the butler before. Now the Venerable Yangji was pressing them step by step, with the purpose of tricking them down the mountain. Once they left the range of Lingxu Cave Heaven, they would definitely fall into the hands of the Venerable Yangji, and their lives would be in jeopardy. (End of this chapter)
