"Not bad, but the attention paid to the seniors is a little less."
Chen Luo said with some regret that he had been in this era for so long, but he had not found any important predecessors to worship, which made him very regretful. The graves he had dug outside before were too low, and he urgently needed to find some important predecessors. For example, the founder of the Ancient Sword Sect, or the immortals who fell from the upper realm like his second brother.
Senior attention?
The Five Elements Patriarch paused.
He looked suspiciously at Chen Luo, who looked regretful. He felt that what he said was different from what he said. However, considering the other party's strong strength, he continued to talk along with the other party.
"That's true. We monks should respect our elders and move forward courageously!"
The Five Elements Patriarch insisted on bringing the topic back to what he wanted to say. He stretched out his hand and tapped the table twice, and a circle of transparent light curtain rose from the ground, separating the two people. The mortals walking outside did not notice anything wrong, and no one felt that there was a table missing on the second floor of the inn. They would only instinctively think that the layout of the second floor was originally like this.
"The way to become an immortal is to fight!"
He took out a fiery red stone and placed it on the table, pushing it in front of Chen Luo with his index finger. This was a piece of fire-patterned black crystal, a necessary spiritual material for the cultivation of fire-attributed returning to the void cultivators of this era. Like the Tao in later generations, it was a scarce resource.
"Such a small piece of fire crystal is actually sold for three million high-grade spirit stones outside, and there is still no market for it. Daoist friend, do you think this price is normal?"
“It’s quite expensive.”
Chen Luo picked up the fire crystal on the table, and a ray of spiritual power seeped into his body through his fingertips.
With the perception of his external brain, he saw that the spiritual power in his body had increased slightly.
"Similar resources are now in nine locations of the Ancient Sword Sect. If independent cultivators outside want to cultivate, they must accept the price they set and exchange it for a large amount of spirit stones. Those who don't have enough spirit stones can only sell themselves to them. Three million high-quality spirit stones for one piece of Fire Pattern Mysterious Crystal, how long will it take to pay it back?"
The Five Elements Patriarch looked directly at Chen Luo.
He felt that he had made it clear enough. As long as this person still had ambition in his heart, he would definitely join his camp.
This is a choice of interests and also a natural choice.
"No."
Chen Luo placed the absorbed fire crystal on the table. The gray-white stone turned into powder and scattered into a small pile. His expression became serious. He looked at the Five Elements Patriarch opposite him and gave him a serious reply.
???
The Five Elements Patriarch was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and then he became angry.
What not to borrow?
He is a Return to Void Venerable who has been in power in the Southwest Immortal Cultivation World for thousands of years. He has countless spiritual stones under his hands. How can he be a poor guy who is looking for someone to borrow spiritual stones? What is in this guy's mind? Emotions? Anger?
The smile on Chen Luo's face became even brighter.
The Heart Demon Art in his body started to operate on its own, silently dissolving all the tricks of the Five Elements Ancestor.
The fire crystal absorbed the energy and refined the emotions hidden inside, without wasting any of it.
"I'm not asking you to borrow spirit stones."
Suppressing his anger, the Five Elements Patriarch spoke word by word.
“There are no spiritual materials either!”
Chen Luo tightened the storage bag around his waist.
"I know a place that has a large amount of Fire Pattern Mysterious Crystals! The kind that can be purchased without spirit stones." The Five Elements Patriarch gave up his disguise and stated his purpose.
"I can help you get these Fire Pattern Black Crystals."
After laying so much groundwork, the Five Elements Patriarch finally brought the topic to his purpose.
This is also his favorite method.
What he has to do is never to ask for help, but to help others! Tell the other party the news, causing dissatisfaction in the other party's heart, and then he will help the other party. In this way, not only will he not owe favors to others, but he can also gain favors from others, which is a sure win.
"How do you divide it?"
Chen Luo stroked his chin and roughly guessed the purpose of the Five Elements Patriarch. This old guy was not a quiet character at first glance. When his cultivation reached this level, he had to find more advanced resources if he wanted to merge with the Tao. This was the characteristic of the immortal cultivators of this era. However, most of these resources were in the hands of the top Taoist sects such as the Ancient Sword Sect. If the Five Elements Patriarch wanted to break through, he had to fight against the Ancient Sword Sect.
This is an irreconcilable contradiction, a problem caused by resource allocation in the world of immortal cultivation.
"You and I will each take 30%, and the rest will be given to others."
The Five Elements Patriarch was very sincere and did not hide anything.
"This relic is located in the southwest Xiuxian world. I have already investigated the situation inside."
"That sounds good, but I don't want to go."
Chen Luo immediately rejected the proposal.
He had never been to the ruins since he started cultivating immortals. When he was in the Shenhu Immortal Sect, he had rejected his junior sister Huang Ying many times. When other fellow disciples became famous in the ruins and had great opportunities, he was refining pills and drawing talismans in the sect. Because of this, several senior brothers from Wudao Peak came to him specially. Unfortunately, he rejected them all. He did not participate in the exploration of ruins or the sect competition.
This is a matter of principle!
In Chen Luo's opinion, participating in the fight for relics is a taboo in cultivating immortals.
Snap!
The teacup held in the hands of the Five Elements Patriarch was crushed into pieces by him, and the tea seeped out through his fingers and flowed along the table to the ground. The light curtain that originally enveloped the two people also faded, and the table reappeared in the restaurant.
"Fellow Daoist, you can reconsider this. At our level, the chances of further advancement are very rare. If we miss this ancient tomb, it won't be so easy to find another opportunity for a breakthrough."
The Five Elements Patriarch stood up, left a mark on the table, then turned and left.
"Wait, what did you just say?"
Chen Luo suddenly spoke to stop the Five Elements Patriarch who was about to leave. The aura spread up from the ground again, and this time it was Chen Luo who isolated the inside and the outside.
"Chance."
"No, it's an ancient tomb!"
Tombs and ruins are different.
One contains restrictions, spiritual materials, inheritance and other things, and the other contains corpses.
Chen Luo, who was worried about not being able to find a high-quality ancient tomb, immediately saw new hope. He only needed to read the brain of a strong man of this era, and he could immediately master the practice method of this era, saving a lot of time. Only in this way could he catch up with the Silent Taoist who had been planning for many years in this era and take back the "Tao" belonging to the Qionghua School from him.
“Does it make any difference?”
The Five Elements Patriarch was a little puzzled and didn't understand why Chen Luo cared about such things.
"When are you going to go?"
"Three months later."
"Send me a message when the time comes."
Chen Luo said seriously. He really had no interest in relics. He had never lacked things like inheritance and skills. But ancient tombs were different, especially the tombs of senior masters. When he thought of the seniors in the dark in the tombs, he couldn't help but want to rescue them and help them wipe the dust off their skulls!
The Five Elements Patriarch left with a head full of questions, but fortunately the cooperation was finally reached.
What remains is the next plan. As long as he obtains enough Fire Pattern Mysterious Crystals, he can gather the five elements to break through the barrier and merge into the Dao. Once he succeeds in advancing, he can make this guy spit out as much as he eats. As for failure.
There is no need to care about it now that the person is dead.
When Chen Luo came back, Zi Tianji was walking back and forth in the yard. A huge piece of black ice was floating in the pond. The surrounding rockery and grass were covered with a layer of frost, and the surface of the pond was covered with a thick layer of ice. Two ornamental spirit fish huddled at the bottom of the pond, seemingly in hibernation.
"What's going on?"
"It seems dead."
Zi Tianji said with some uncertainty.
After Chen Luo and the Five Elements Patriarch left, Zi Tianji brought back the things that the Five Elements Patriarch had compensated him for. Not to mention the spiritual stones and elixirs, there were also many secret techniques. What really attracted people's attention was the treasure that was kept at the bottom of the box at the exchange meeting.
Ice blue old demon.
This guy is completely different from the image before "Jiegu", and his true form is revealed. A three-meter-tall ice-blue toad, with a pale white glow all over its body, and the pattern on its back is like snowflakes, crystal clear and very beautiful.
"I tried it before, but there was no sign of life, and there was no response from voice transmission."
Seeing Chen Luo approaching, Zi Tianji immediately told him what he had discovered.
"He's still alive, but his soul has been severely damaged."
Chen Luo withdrew his hand that was pressing on the ice, spiritual power flowed through it, and the ice in his palm fell down, hitting the ground with a crisp sound.
"The soul is injured? What happened to him?"
Zi Tianji is also a Return to Void cultivator, so he naturally understands the seriousness of the injury to the soul.
"An ancient tomb with a chance."
Chen Luo roughly told Zi Tianji the news he had heard from the Five Elements Ancestor.
"What should we do now? Fellow Daoist Bingchan is in bad shape, why not make use of the waste?" Zi Tianji looked at the Ice Toad in the black ice and thought of the secret technique he had just acquired.
Soul-eating curse!
By devouring the soul to make up for the innate deficiency, this is an evil method to make up for the innate foundation, which is just right for Zi Tianji. The "fertilizer" for the earth-planted god has not fallen, causing him to lose a part of the "five-color spiritual flower" that entered the soul-refining level, which is considered an innate deficiency. This secret technique is just the right remedy. As long as he devours a sufficient number of souls, he can immediately make up for the deficiency and restore his original cultivation.
After looking at the motionless ice toad, Chen Luo withdrew his gaze from his brain.
The brain of the Earth Seed Returning to the Void belongs to the demon clan.
It's of no use!
"Find a safe place and bury him."
After a little thought, Chen Luo made a decision. He didn't have too much time to waste on the Ice Blue Old Monster. Saving him from the Five Elements Ancestor was already the most he could do. As for the rest, it all depended on fate.
"I see."
Zi Tianji withdrew his gaze with regret, it was better to let it go.
At least it proves that the headmaster is a man of feelings, so there is no need to worry about being sold out by him. (End of this chapter)
