The white skull, like the dead Gu Yue Zhenren, are not the original "living people". They are just parasites derived from the corpses and can be regarded as new life.
The gray energy flowed down his arms and merged into his body.
The energy extracted this time was extremely rich, exceeding all the Jindan brains Chen Luo had collected before.
As the energy was extracted, the blood-colored space began to fluctuate irregularly, and the blood-colored clothes outside began to twist.
Taixuan Peak.
In the main hall at the top of the peak, a row of bamboo incense was inserted on the green ancient tripod, and green smoke was curling. In the center of the solemn main hall, a green sword several tens of meters high was suspended in the air. The object of worship in the ancient tripod was this sword.
The Taixuan Sword is one of the Seven Swords of Qionghua.
There were seven cushions at the back, with seven figures sitting on them.
Taixu Patriarch Gu He sat in the third seat with his eyes slightly closed. The hem of his dark blue Taoist robe spread out on the ground, his Taoist crown stood upright on his head, his white eyebrows were like a sword, giving people a feeling of being unfathomable.
"The One Hundred and Eight Peaks Plan concerns the future of our Qionghua Sect. Any obstacles must be eliminated." The Taixuan Peak Master, who was wearing a gray Taoist robe, expressed his opinion.
"In the past few years, the resources collected by the sect have become less and less, and the benefits of the inner disciples will also begin to be reduced. We must find a new source. I propose to destroy Yaowang City to temporarily alleviate the crisis."
The Tai Su Patriarch is a female wearing a white Taoist robe and with her hair in a neat bun. A silver-white sword is placed on her crossed legs. It is the magic sword of Tai Su Peak - Tai Su Magic Sword.
"No."
Patriarch Taixu refused without even raising his eyelids.
"The thousand-year-old country is the real trouble. That centipede has become powerful. If he takes the last step, there will be no peace in the Southern Region."
"What are the reactions of the Golden Light Cave and the Spirit Pond?"
"The two sects are not that close to the ancient country. There is no one there at the moment."
Patriarch Taixu, who was saying this, suddenly frowned. He stood up and spoke to the six people next to him.
"There's something wrong with the pill. I'll go back for a while."
After saying that, Gu Hexu took a step forward, and his figure turned into dust like a phantom, dissipating bit by bit.
The expressions of the six people in the field did not change at all, and they continued to discuss the previous issue. The bigger the sect, the more things they encountered. Even if they were as powerful as the Seven Ancestors of Qionghua, they could not sit on the cloud platform and practice behind closed doors.
The more resources you occupy, the more troubles you will encounter.
There are also frictions between the four major immortal sects. While they cooperate with each other, they are also constantly calculating against each other. As long as one of them shows signs of weakness, the remaining three will surely join forces to swallow it up.
The competition for limited resources has never been a board game where everyone is happy, but a primitive dispute of life and death.
Taixu Peak, in Gu He’s practice room.
Chen Luo withdrew his hand without any remaining obsession.
This skull has been dead for too long, and there is no big tomb to protect it. The fact that we can read the last bit of its remains already means that it was powerful enough when it was alive.
Gurgling
The white skull that Chen Luo threw back into the blood pool lost its spirit and sank directly to the bottom of the pool. The blood was churning, as if it was boiling.
The blood-stained barrier outside that blocked the 'two suns' began to solidify.
The temperature of the blood pool increased visibly. Even though Chen Luo was protected by the Demon Bone Array Pattern Technique, he could still feel the heat. The bone patterns on the surface of his body showed signs of collapsing.
Snap!
A crack appeared on the solidified blood barrier, and a large piece of dark brown blood fell down. Before it hit the ground, the black blood began to burn, emitting orange-white flames.
Is it going to be refined?
Chen Luo's heart tightened and he immediately prepared to leave.
The blood clots broke apart more and more seriously, and large pieces of bloody clothes fell down and ignited into fireballs in the air. From below, it looked like a meteor shower. The flames of the two suns burned the entire blood pool space, and the ground was distorted.
"Certainly!"
The voice sounded, and a translucent hand stretched out from outside. After penetrating the blood-stained barrier, this hand turned into a giant hand that could capture the sky, and grabbed Chen Luo who was flying below, and brought him out of the alchemy furnace.
The next moment, the world was spinning, and by the time Chen Luo stabilized his body, he was already outside the furnace.
The previously peaceful furnace began to shake violently. The scorching heat spread from the bottom of the furnace, and a large number of cracks appeared on the ground paved with spiritual stones. The surface of the furnace also turned red, and the two fireballs inside seemed to have lost control and were spinning faster and faster.
The fire is out of balance, which is a sign of an explosion.
"town!"
A golden little man emerged from Gu He's body, and the power of his Nascent Soul spread out. The vitality of the heaven and earth in the entire training room was gathered in his hands, and the fourth-level spiritual vein in the ground below also stopped supplying spiritual energy.
Under the suppression of the Nascent Soul's magic power, the vibration of the alchemy furnace stopped.
But this stop was like a brief calm after being suppressed, and Gu He also found the problem. He put one hand on Chen Luo's shoulder, and left the cave in a flash.
Without the suppression of the Nascent Soul's magic power, the unbalanced energy in the furnace suddenly exploded. A blood-red light burst out from the furnace, and cracks spread, presenting radial spots of light.
boom!!
The alchemy furnace exploded, and the furnace cover was blown away by the blood-colored energy inside the furnace, crashing into the mountain wall next to it, and continued to rush out for dozens of meters, blowing the restrictions and formations in that area into rubble. The compressed blood pool space rebounded, and the bookcases and spiritual materials in the training room were all blown into ashes, and the smooth spiritual stone ground turned into a large circular pit.
Chen Luo, who had just left the training room, felt the heat wave hitting him.
"cut."
Patriarch Gu He raised his hand, and a green sword light appeared between his index fingers. The sword energy swept out diagonally, colliding with the energy rushing out, causing a secondary explosion.
Chen Luo was standing on the sidelines and was unable to avoid the dissipated energy. The aftermath of the bloody aura leaked over, shocking his soul. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he retreated more than ten steps.
No wonder Gu Yue could kill himself while refining the elixir. The energy contained in the fourth-level elixir was beyond imagination. The spiritual power compressed in the elixir refined by Gu He was even more exaggerated than that of the Ningying Pill. If it exploded completely, it could blow up the entire Taixu Peak.
After a long time, the aftermath of the explosion subsided. Before Chen Luo could observe, he saw the secret cave in front of him collapse into a pile of rubble with a "boom". Blood and black dust mixed together and rippled, forming a circular ripple.
A white skull rolled out from inside, landed at Gu He's feet, and hit the surface of his shoes.
Formations and restrictions.
Everything in the entire area was blown up at this moment.
The place where Patriarch Taixu went into seclusion is gone.
"I'm in trouble."
Chen Luo looked at the scene in front of him, and his scalp went numb. He wondered if this new uncle would still recognize him as his nephew.
'It's all because that skull is so tempting'
Such a high-quality brain will never be available again.
The dust settled, and Patriarch Gu He's robe moved.
He raised his hand and waved his sleeve, and all the dust around him was rolled together, forming a small ball and gathering in the palm of his hand. The effect of a basic small spell like Dust Removal was completely different in the hands of a Yuanying old monster like Guhe Laozu.
The small ball full of dust and impurities was pinched into a black stone by Master Gu He and thrown on the ground.
After doing all this, he turned around and looked at Chen Luo behind him.
"Uncle Master, this time..."
"As long as everyone is okay, I'm glad."
Looking at the expression that was very similar to his brother, Patriarch Gu He sighed and patted Chen Luo on the shoulder.
The pure Nascent Soul magic power flowed in, instantly clearing up the slight injury Chen Luo had just suffered.
"I will find someone to repair this place. You can go to the side peak to practice until it recovers. I have a practice room over there."
Chen Luo opened his mouth, but all the words of apology that followed were swallowed back into his stomach.
This uncle really treated him as his own nephew. Just like his third uncle who taught him the skill of burying corpses, he would not blame him for his mistakes.
"I have some things to deal with over there, so I won't take you there."
Chen Luo nodded silently.
After saying goodbye to Gu He, he turned and flew towards another training room.
He had already thought that Gu He would not recognize him as his nephew and drive him down the mountain. He felt it was worth fighting for the skull in the blood pool. The skull was definitely a brain beyond the Jindan realm. The skull that could fight with the Seven Ancestors of Qionghua must have been at least at the Yuanying level when he was alive! The most important thing was that the opponent came from the upper realm. Just based on this point, it was worth his risk.
The only thing he didn't expect was that Patriarch Gu He never blamed him from beginning to end, and even helped him recover from his injuries.
After Chen Luo left, Gu He bent down and wanted to pick up the white skull at his feet.
The moment the palms touched, the white skull made a porcelain cracking sound, and the bone fragments broke apart, breaking into a pile of silver-white dust that floated in the air.
"Is he dead?"
A hint of pity flashed across the eyes of Old Ancestor Gu He.
This skull blood pool was specially collected by him from other places. The original body of this thing was the severed head of the Heart Demon Ancestor. As a visitor from the upper world, Gu He was very clear about the spiritual power hidden in the other party's head. He originally planned to refine this spiritual power and inject it into high-level elixirs as a medicine.
Now that the balance has been destroyed by Chen Luo, a century of preparation has been destroyed. If it were someone else, Gu He would definitely crush the opponent to ashes, but Chen Luo is different.
This person is the only successor recognized by his younger brother Gu Yue, and has also learned their clan's Starfire Alchemy.
Gu He had never told anyone the secret of the Starfire Alchemy. Everyone thought that the Starfire Alchemy was a method of alchemy he had created, but it was not the case. The soul talents of their clan were different from those of ordinary people, and they were born to be alchemists. The Starfire Alchemy was the inherited skill of their clan, and only those with soul mutations like them could learn it.
The Lord of Medicine King City has studied for hundreds of years but has not been able to learn it. It’s not because he is stupid, but because his soul has not mutated and he does not understand the secrets of this alchemy technique.
Chen Luo learned it.
It is precisely because of this that Gu He cares so much about Chen Luo.
In his opinion, Chen Luo was not only the descendant of his brother Gu Yue, but also the last member of their clan. He even thought that his brother Gu Yue must have noticed this, so he accepted Chen Luo as his disciple.
"I couldn't protect you back then, but I can definitely protect your disciple now and won't let him face the same dilemma again."
Gu He sighed, took a step forward, and his figure disappeared like a stream of light on a water curtain. When the image disappeared, he had already returned to Taixuan Peak. (End of this chapter)
