Chapter 282 Taoist
Click
The heavy stone door rubbed against the ground, making a heavy sound. A foul smell came out of the cave. Chen Luo took a half step back and released a dust removal spell inside.
Invisible spiritual power diffused in, circled around, and flew out with a group of impurities.
Chen Luo walked forward and used his spiritual sense to take a look inside. The secret room was pitch black, but he could see the general environment inside through his spiritual sense. It was a closed cave of about ten square meters, and the ground was an unrepaired rock surface, and the surrounding mountain walls were the same.
There was a cushion in the middle, on which sat a burnt corpse. In the corner not far away were several empty medicine bottles.
"The senior from the Qionghua Sect who failed to break through?"
Breaking the restrictions outside, Chen Luo walked in and searched carefully. This should be a temporary cave, and there was nothing extra. The clothes on the charred corpse were all burned, and the storage bag could not escape the burning of the spiritual fire. Only a charred rope was left hanging around the waist.
After confirming that there was no danger, Chen Luo walked forward and placed one hand on the charred corpse's head.
'Contacted with the brain waves of a dead person, damage level 89%, do you want to read it?'
Read!
The brain of this Qionghua sect elder who was burned to death by the inner demon fire was actually more complete than that of Gu Yue Zhenren. It was just that some of it was consumed by the passage of time, otherwise more content could be read.
Several obsessions flooded into my mind.
“Kill, kill, kill!!”
"Ling'er, I finally killed all those evil people."
"Master, I want to eat the candied haws from Niujia Village in Wen'an County... Why are you taking me to the immortal path?"
Chen Luo gave up after just one look. This Jindan cultivator died from his inner demons, and the remaining obsessions could not be distinguished between reality and illusion. They were all emotional distractions and had no value at all.
After collecting the brain, Chen Luo took out a shovel and dug a hole in the cave, as a burial place for this senior.
After burying the person, Chen Luo walked out of the secret room.
They searched a little further forward and found many secret rooms, but they didn't find any bodies inside.
Crash
On the edge of the cliff, gravel slid down the corners.
Chen Luo stood on the edge of the cliff, frowning slightly, feeling something was wrong.
"What are you looking for?"
A calm voice appeared behind him. The moment the voice appeared, the wind in the surrounding valleys suddenly stopped, and the world fell into silence. A human figure walked out of the mountain wall, solidifying like a mirage, and the light spots around it condensed into a person.
This man was wearing a dark blue Taoist robe and a square wooden Taoist crown on his head. His white eyebrows were like swords and his eyes were deep.
Chen Luo turned around when he heard the voice, just in time to see the man's body taking shape.
"I want to pay homage to my deceased predecessors. This is the task my master gave me before he passed away."
Chen Luo responded respectfully. He had thought of this excuse before coming here. In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, he also called upon the brain of Gu Yue Zhenren. Now his habits were exactly the same as Gu Yue Zhenren. He had planned everything, but the only thing he didn't expect was to meet Taixu Patriarch in advance.
The moment he saw this person, Chen Luo confirmed his identity.
'Danger!'
'Extremely dangerous.'
'Unfathomable! ! '
"Kneel down and beg for mercy, and there should be a glimmer of hope."
More than one hundred brains, including Jindan brains and mummy brains, gave the same feedback, which means that the gap is too big and the current knowledge cannot cope with it.
“Last wish.”
An unimaginable divine sense swept across his body, and Chen Luo stood obediently in the same place, motionless.
The Taoist took a step forward, and his figure appeared beside Chen Luo as if he had teleported. When he stepped on the gravel under his feet, it automatically condensed into a white jade surface, as smooth as a mirror.
"Come with me."
A hand fell on Chen Luo's shoulder. Chen Luo felt dizzy and seemed to hear the sound of a sword.
Taixu Divine Sword?
Chen Luo tried hard to open his eyes and take a look at the legendary sword. Unfortunately, he was caught by the Taoist priest and seemed to become an ordinary person again. Both his vision and consciousness were useless at this moment. When the pressure outside disappeared, Chen Luo found that he had arrived in another place.
A huge practice room.
It was countless times larger than the training room that Chen Luo had previously "rescued and excavated". The ground was glowing with a green luster, and a closer look revealed that the green ground was actually paved entirely with spirit stones!
No wonder spirit stones are no longer used after the Jindan stage. For high-level cultivators, spirit stones are something they can collect and refine at will.
A high-level spirit gathering array was engraved on the floor of the training room. Standing inside, Chen Luo could feel the almost liquefied spiritual energy from the outside world.
This place definitely has more than just third-level spiritual veins.
"Since you are Gu Yue's disciple, you can call me Uncle Master."
The Taoist's voice sounded again. When Chen Luo looked over, he found that the other party was sitting cross-legged on the cushion, as if he had never moved.
"Meet Uncle Master."
Chen Luo immediately changed his words. This Taoist was even more powerful than he had expected. If he could get close to him, he would have the resources to condense the golden elixir.
"This 'Sword Seal Token' was given to Gu Yue by me. As far as I know, he gave this token to Medicine King City Lord."
As he was speaking, the "Sword Seal Token" hanging on Chen Luo's waist automatically flew over and fell into the hands of the Taoist. Looking at the token in his hand, the Taoist's eyes flashed with a little nostalgia.
"This token was given to me by Senior Yan not long ago when I participated in the Medicine King City Alchemist Assessment. He said that this thing is the token of our master and should be returned to its original owner."
Chen Luo responded calmly.
Only when facing this Taixu Patriarch did he realize how many loopholes there were in Medicine King City Lord's arrangement. The other party knew much more than Medicine King City Lord had investigated. The two sides were in different positions, their cultivation and the forces they controlled were not at the same level, so naturally they saw different worlds. The perfect plan in Medicine King City Lord's eyes was just a clumsy joke in the eyes of the Taoist.
"Can you tell me how Gu Yue died?"
“Alchemy.”
If it was any other question, Chen Luo probably really wouldn't know, but the scene of Gu Yue Zhenren's death happened to contain the complete scene in the residual memories he read.
"After Master accepted me as his disciple, he went crazy, and kept shouting that he wanted to refine the Infant Condensation Pill. The last time I saw him, he was full of confidence, saying that he had found a way to refine the Infant Condensation Pill. After that, I didn't see him again until half a year ago, when I found his body in a ruin."
Nine of what Chen Luo said was true and one was false.
It was true that Gu Yue Zhenren went crazy, and it was also true that he refined the Ningying Pill. The only false part was that he accepted him as a disciple. There was no way to prove this. Gu Yue Zhenren had been dead for hundreds of years, his brain was taken away by Chen Luo, and the ghost derived from his body was also crushed to ashes by him, and died in the ruins of the Iron Spear Temple, forming a perfect closed loop.
"How long have you been practicing?"
The Taoist looked at Chen Luo and asked the most obvious question.
"My disciple has been practicing for forty-one years."
"Gu Yue died seven hundred years ago."
The Taoist's eyes turned cold. Ever since he issued the mission to search for Master Gu Yue, someone would come to claim the role every once in a while, and he had killed no less than a hundred people who came to pretend to be Gu Yue.
"The place where Master passed away is very strange. It looks like the remains of gods. I accidentally entered it and found many dead people living there. They repeated their habits in their lifetime, just like the living."
Chen Luo lied with his eyes open. This excuse was what he had discussed with Medicine King City Lord before. The remains of gods are not uncommon in Tiannan Region. Medicine King City Lord has encountered one. To be precise, such a place is no longer the real world, but more like a place for "wishes" and "spirituals".
It is not impossible for the dead to be reborn there.
Chen Luo took out the alchemy furnace from his storage bag and started to refine the elixir in front of the Taoist priest.
Nothing can compare to actual demonstration.
He has the brain of Gu Yue Zhenren, so the thing he is least afraid of is actual demonstration.
The spiritual materials flew out of the storage bag one by one. Chen Luo raised his hand, extended his index and middle fingers, and began to practice the Starfire Alchemy Technique. The Taoist did not stop Chen Luo's demonstration, but sat aside and watched quietly.
With the performance of the Starfire Alchemy Technique, the liquid medicine in the furnace was quickly refined, and three red pills flew out of the furnace.
They are all top-grade elixirs.
Looking at the successfully refined pills, the Taoist picked up one and sensed the quality of the pill. The murderous aura on his face disappeared and his expression softened.
"How long have you been practicing Starfire Alchemy?"
"I started learning from the first level of Qi Refining, but only mastered it not long ago. There is still a big gap compared to my master's techniques." Chen Luo had never practiced Starfire Alchemy at all. All his techniques were performed with the help of Master Gu Yue's brain.
"You've practiced well."
The Taoist's aura completely faded, as if he had really become an ordinary old man.
"The Medicine King City Lord has secretly learned for hundreds of years, but he is still not as good as you."
The Taoist knew that the Medicine King City Lord knew the Starfire Alchemy Technique, but he didn't care. This alchemy technique involved more profound things, and only the two brothers knew the secrets inside.
"I am only building my foundation, how dare I compare myself with Senior Yan."
“Who the hell is Yan Qiu Ming to be compared with you?” The Taoist stood up, and his terrifying aura swept over like a tsunami.
Snap!
A crack appeared on the ground, and the Taoist left the platform where he was practicing.
All the magic swords in the training room rang softly, and the Taoist priest who was walking was like a heavenly sword, with his energy soaring into the sky. Chen Luo stopped where he was and couldn't move at all, watching the other party walk towards him step by step and put his hand on his shoulder.
One hand.
Chen Luo felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him. All the demon bone array patterns on his body were activated, and the half-condensed fake pill seeds in his body were spinning frantically, but they still could not withstand the power of this hand. The silver-armored corpse king in the corpse bag was suppressed before he could crawl out.
All the other miscellaneous things were useless in the face of absolute suppression, whether it was ghosts or strange insects, they all lost their effects.
“Too much.”
The Taoist withdrew his hand, and Chen Luo suddenly felt his body lighten, and an unprecedented sense of relief came over him.
"It can be seen that you are ambitious and want to condense a top-grade golden elixir."
The Taoist looked at Chen Luo with appreciation. He had just verified that there was no trace of Tiannan Domain's skills on Chen Luo. The most important point was Chen Luo's habit when he was refining pills before.
It was exactly the same as the impression he had of Gu Yue Zhenren.
This kind of reality cannot be imitated, and the Taoist doesn't think anyone can deceive him.
Therefore, the person in front of him was truly the direct disciple of his younger brother Gu Yue.
