Who is this old guy?
Chen Luo did not respond to the other party's words. He was thinking about the identity of this person. Judging from his familiar words, he should be a friend of Elder Lu Ying.
"This time, Wanxian Island has prepared a lot of good things. If we go too late, the things will be taken away by others."
The old man riding a crane frowned slightly. At the same time, a voice transmission sounded in Chen Luo's mind.
"Did you bring the stuff?"
thing?
Chen Luo looked at the old man Chenghe opposite him, and a row of question marks appeared in his head. But soon he became active. This old man Chenghe looked like an important person, and he should be very rich...
The expression on his face was no longer as cold as before, and his tone softened a lot.
"Hasn't this started yet?"
"Of course we have to go there early to grab a spot."
The old man Chenghe smiled again, guessing that Chen Luo might have some concerns.
The exchange between the two Nascent Soul cultivators naturally attracted a lot of attention, and the casual cultivators who were setting up stalls around them subconsciously made way. After the old man Chenghe exchanged a few polite words with Chen Luo, he invited him to go to the inner mountain together.
Chen Luo followed suit.
After the two flew away, the market town regained order. A few casual cultivators who had never seen the world looked at the two people's disappearing backs with envy, fantasizing that one day they would be able to condense their Nascent Soul and become such a big shot.
"Many people came to the Dharma Assembly this time, and some saw the ghost cultivators at Naihe Bridge. Those old guys should have noticed that the ghost cultivators at Naihe Bridge were the first batch, and there will be others to come. The situation has reached a point where it can't be delayed any longer, and the plan is likely to be advanced."
After leaving the outer market, the old man Chenghe's expression became much more serious.
"How are you going to deal with this?"
Chen Luo didn't understand the relationship inside and could only deal with it with such confusing words. Fortunately, the aura on his body was that of Elder Lu Ying, so he didn't arouse the other party's suspicion.
"I don't know. The ghost cultivators on Naihe Bridge are different from other ghost cultivators. They have been baptized by the Yellow Spring Water. The weaknesses of ordinary ghost cultivators do not exist in them..."
While they were talking, the two of them arrived at the inner mountain.
This place was different from the area that the disciples of Wanxian Island had brought him to before. As soon as he came in, Chen Luo saw a familiar figure, who was the second elder of the Shadow-Eating Sect. After they separated before, he should have come directly here.
The Second Elder also noticed his presence and saw the old man riding a crane standing next to him.
"It's Elder Hexian and Elder Luying."
Someone recognized Chen Luo and Hexianweng, and Chen Luo also remembered the name of the old man riding the crane.
The two men ignored the group of people below and flew directly to the high platform at the back. There were a few more people here. Their aura was the same as that of He Xianweng. They were all cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage.
He Xianweng led Chen Luo to a corner, set up a simple isolation ban on the side, and then spoke in a low voice.
"Did you bring the island owner's things with you?"
The main thing on the island?
Chen Luo's thoughts raced, but his expression remained unchanged.
"Something went wrong..."
"Isn't Shiying in seclusion? Apart from him, is there anyone else in the Shiying sect who can be your opponent?" Hexianweng frowned, obviously not very satisfied with this answer.
The leader of the Shiying Sect does not allow anything inside the sect.
Chen Luo continued to reply along with this sentence.
"The Sect Master left a backup plan before he went into seclusion, and I can't break it."
"This old thing!"
Upon hearing this, He Xianweng immediately came up with several answers in his mind. He was aware of the vicious reputation of the Shadow Eater Sect's leader.
"Is it a formation or a restriction?"
“Neither.”
The external brain quickly became active, and more than 20 brains were connected in series. In an instant, they summed up a set of sealing points involving prohibitions, formations, curses, and poisons. This set of improvised excuses was extremely professional, and even if He Xianweng had a tactful instinct, he could not break it in an instant.
Verification also takes a lot of time.
By the time he verified it, Chen Luo had already run away.
"I have tried many methods but failed to crack it. This time I came here to ask the island owner for help."
Chen Luo didn't know who the owner of the island was, but that didn't stop him from taking advantage of the opportunity.
Anyone who dares to set his sights on the leader of the Shadow Eater Sect must be very powerful.
This kind of enemy will be "sent" to the Shadow Eater Sect Master no matter what, and it can also help him share the pressure when he runs away later.
Listening to Chen Luo's description, He Xianweng's expression eased a lot. As far as he knew, Lu Ying only had some knowledge of poison techniques, and didn't know anything about formations and restrictions. To be able to say so much information, he must have studied it carefully.
"I must get the secret book before Shiying comes out..."
After weighing the pros and cons, He Xian Weng decided to take Chen Luo to see the island owner. Chen Luo did not object and followed him to a secluded courtyard. Compared with the place where they lived in the Shiying Sect, the environment here was more elegant.
When the two pushed the door open, a young man in brocade clothes was watering the flowers in the yard. There was no spiritual power fluctuation on his body, but the moment he walked into the yard, several thoughts came out of Chen Luo's mind.
"Law domain, danger!"
"The primordial unity is not the true body."
Not the real one?
Chen Luo's pupils shrank slightly. In his perception, the other person was a real person. Both the feedback from his spiritual consciousness and the perception of his spiritual power told him that the person in front of him was real.
The young man who was watering the flowers looked up and a smile appeared on his face when he saw the two people coming in.
"What's up?"
"It's a bit tricky, maybe you, the island master, may need to take action." Hexianweng described what happened.
"This was not included in the original agreement." After hearing the description, the young man in brocade clothes looked at Chen Luo.
Upon hearing this, Chen Luo immediately looked embarrassed.
"I really have no other choice..."
"Let's change the terms of the transaction. After the deal is done, I will give you a corpse. The thing you originally wanted will be given to you next time you get something that interests me." The island owner interrupted.
Chen Luo showed a hesitant look on his face, and after weighing the pros and cons for a long time, he gritted his teeth and spoke.
"good!"
He had no idea what Elder Lu Ying wanted before, and the so-called "weighing and thinking" was just a show for the two people opposite. On the contrary, he was very interested in the bones mentioned by the island owner.
If there are bones, doesn't that mean there is still a brain?
Compared to what Elder Lu Ying wanted, Chen Luo wanted some high-level brains, which would help him quickly integrate into the upper realm.
"But I want three!"
"Too many, two at most." The island owner shook his head.
"Although it is just a corpse, it is not an ordinary thing. Anything related to the existence of 'immortals' is very expensive."
Immortal?
Chen Luo's heart skipped a beat.
He felt like he had found a big bargain!
"I will give you two more corpses of medicine boys, both of which were dug out from the ruins."
Seeing that Chen Luo didn't say anything, the island owner thought he was resentful, so he said something else. Changing the transaction conditions temporarily would be a big loss for Lu Ying, and he would need this person later, so he couldn't give up for the time being.
"All right."
Chen Luo nodded in agreement, his face full of reluctance, but only he knew what he was thinking in his heart.
After reaching the agreement, the two left the yard.
"Don't be unwilling. What you want is too precious. We don't have many on Wanxian Island. How about this? I will give you some fourth-level corpses. Fifth-level ones are also fine."
Chen Luo nodded silently, showing no emotion at all.
Under the guidance of He Xianweng, Chen Luo soon arrived at the heart of the white jade stone. There was a closed stone door here, which stored a large number of secret treasures. Many things from this exchange meeting were stored here. He Xianweng brought Chen Luo to choose first, which was considered a violation of the rules.
Click…
The heavy stone door opened and a gust of cold air rolled out from inside.
What came into view were dozens of dried corpses. These corpses were not ordinary people when they were alive. Even though they had been dead for so long, the aura they exuded was still astonishing.
Chen Luo saw the ancient corpse inside at a glance.
This ancient corpse was nearly three meters tall, wearing a piece of armor, holding a large knife in his right hand, with dark red blood on the blade. Just standing there, it gave people a murderous feeling.
"Although this corpse is not as good as the 'Dharma Seed' you want, it is also an extremely rare treasure." Looking at the corpse in front of him, Hexianweng's eyes flashed with a trace of reluctance.
"You only provided us with a little information, and in exchange you got a corpse like this. You really made a fortune."
They paid a huge price to dig out the body.
It’s a pity that the corpse is too evil to be refined into a corpse puppet. Otherwise, based on his accumulation during his lifetime, once it was refined into a corpse puppet, it would definitely be a top-level refined corpse.
"I would rather become a divine 'dharma seed'."
After reading the classics of the Shadow-Eating Sect, Chen Luo naturally knew what the 'God-Transforming Technique Seed' was.
The path to becoming a god in the world of immortal cultivation had been cut off long ago. The great powers in the upper realms had found another way, which was to integrate the seeds of the predecessor's divine transformation into one's own body and use the predecessor's "Tao" to achieve one's own divine transformation.
This method perfectly avoids the path of severance, allowing later generations to find a way to advance to the God of Transformation. However, this method of advancement is not orthodox after all, and cannot increase lifespan. This is also the reason why the lifespan of the God of Transformation in the upper realm is no different from that of the Nascent Soul.
Lu Ying made a deal with the Lord of Wanxian Island a long time ago.
He helped the Master of Wanxian Island steal a secret technique from the Master of Shiying Sect, and the other party helped him find a "divine transformation method" that suits him. There may be some details agreed in the middle, but the overall content should be like this.
Now the Lord of Wanxian Island has returned, and instead of giving Chen Luo the 'Divine Transformation Seed', he gave him the corpses of two powerful men.
The 'dharma seeds' in these corpses had naturally been extracted by the master of Wanxian Island long ago, and most of the corpses left behind were discarded and defective products that could not be used for corpse refining.
"The two bodies of the medicine boys the island owner mentioned are also inside. You can take all of them."
He Xianweng seemed not to hear Chen Luo's words and introduced some of the corpses in the secret room. (End of this chapter)
