Chapter 59 Return without Success
Early the next morning.
Chen Luo set out early and went to the academy.
A group of registered disciples who were not very convinced of him were suddenly shocked after listening to his teaching. The power of a fairy text was enough to distance Chen Luo from this group of disciples.
Through teaching, he also saw the limits of these disciples.
Their spiritual roots were very weak, and each of them could only comprehend a part of the immortal knowledge. Some used this part of their power in formations, while others used it in refining equipment. In a single field, they could be called respected in the mortal world, but in the world of immortal cultivation, they were useless people who had gone astray and had no chance to enter the Tao in this life.
The immortal text that Chen Luo mastered was all-encompassing knowledge in their eyes. No matter what they were learning, they could obtain the knowledge they wanted through Chen Luo's preaching.
After the class, Chen Luo did not rush to leave.
"I want to find blue ore to practice Taoism. If you have any connections, please help me find it. I will owe a favor to anyone who can help me solve this problem."
This group of fellow students are all children of the rich and powerful. Asking them to help look for it would be much easier than searching on your own.
This was the plan Chen Luo had thought of before going to bed yesterday.
Take advantage of the situation.
Making good use of the resources around you can save a lot of time.
"Is the blue ore that Senior Brother Chen mentioned a spiritual stone?"
A young man in the crowd asked.
The young man was dressed elegantly, with a jade belt around his waist embroidered with dragon patterns. He must be a member of the royal family.
"Exactly."
Chen Luo did not hide it either.
It would be easier if this group of people knew about spirit stones.
"If it's spirit stones, it might be a little difficult. The spirit stone resources in our Yue country are very scarce, and they are basically used up as soon as they appear. Even in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, there are no spirit stones left." The prince looked a little disappointed.
It seems that he will not be able to earn this favor.
"Storing spirit stones is a big problem. No one is stupid enough to keep them. After they are discovered, they will be directly absorbed and used."
No way to store?
This is troublesome.
Chen Luo frowned. He thought that the problem would be easily solved, but he was actually stumped. Thinking of the experience of robbing the spirit stone mine last time, he had some guesses. Yue State was a "land of no spirits". If the spirit stones were not used up quickly after being found, the spirit energy would soon be drained by the tomb.
It is estimated that only those who have mastered the spirit stone storage technology are qualified to store this kind of resources.
"I heard that there was a strange phenomenon in the West Mountain, and it was suspected that a spiritual stone had appeared."
"Some time ago, someone in Qingya County also spread similar rumors."
Hearing that they could make Chen Luo, the future immortal, owe them a favor, all the fellow disciples began to offer suggestions. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, it was ultimately a good opportunity to get close to him.
"West Hill?"
Chen Luo took note of this place.
After chatting with a few fellow disciples for a few more words, he got up and left.
After leaving the academy, Chen Luo asked the driver to drive directly to Xishan.
Regardless of whether the rumor is true or not, just go and take a look and you’ll know. It’s not too far anyway and you won’t waste much time.
The method of simply relying on refining Qi in the morning and evening to accumulate it is still too slow. Chen Luo does not intend to use more than ten years to complete the accumulation of this "small amount of spiritual energy".
"Mr. Chen, we have arrived at Xishan."
The driver in front spoke cautiously.
The driver was from the Huwei Escort Agency, and was personally arranged by the chief escort Ruan Jianglong to serve Chen Luo. Ruan Jianglong also secretly explained Chen Luo's identity to the driver, and told him to obey Chen Luo's arrangements no matter what, and not to question them.
"Wait for me here."
Chen Luo withdrew his thoughts and put "Record of a Hundred Immortals" back into his arms.
After getting off the carriage, he flew to the top of the tree, roughly sensed the direction, and then flew lightly to the southeast. There was a hill there, and standing there would give him a clearer sense.
The brothers in the academy are all children of powerful people, and most of the rumors they spread have traces.
After flying to the hill, Chen Luo closed his eyes.
The power of the immortal text appeared between his brows, and a circle of white ripples suddenly appeared in his dark spiritual world. These ripples spread outward like a scanning radar, instantly scanning the area within a radius of thousands of meters.
This is a way of using immortal texts, and Chen Luo learned it not long ago.
It is not an exaggeration for Changqing Zhenren to say that immortal writing is an all-encompassing force. Chen Luo has already experienced it now.
"Really?"
Chen Luo moved his feet, and the power of the fairy text flowed into his internal energy. His body suddenly became as light as willow catkins, and even the wind in the mountains and forests was borrowed by him.
If a person lightly touches the treetop, he will be carried by the wind and fly towards the direction he senses.
"God!"
The driver driving the car below was stunned.
He was also a martial artist, and was an expert in the Qi and Blood Realm. He had also met many escorts who practiced internal training and forging bones, and he had also seen the chief escort Ruan Jianglong take action. But it was the first time he had seen someone like Chen Luo, who could fly in the sky with just a tap of his feet.
After arriving at the place, Chen Luo quickly found the location of his perception.
"grave?"
He flew down, somewhat surprised.
I thought it was the same mine as last time, but it turned out to be a grave.
It looks like an old grave that is quite old.
"The fluctuations of spiritual energy are indeed coming from inside." Chen Luo is very sure of this.
The powerful disciples and families who told him the news could not find it as quickly as he did, because he searched directly with immortal texts. If ordinary people want to find this place, they need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources, and also have to add luck.
“I haven’t done this kind of work in a long time.”
Chen Luo stretched out his hand and split a dead tree next to him into two halves, one of the halves being shaped like a spade.
After saying "Puh" twice, he started to work.
Anyway, there aren't many people in Xishan, so there's no need to wait until night to dig the graves.
The power of the immortal text diffused in the palm of his hand, and he dug the grave at a very fast speed. In just a moment, Chen Luo dug through the structure below, revealing a pitch-black hole.
'Has anyone already been in there?'
Chen Luo threw aside the wooden shovel he had just chopped and jumped down.
Under the robbery hole was an underground secret room of about ten square meters. The mechanisms and barriers had been destroyed, and the stone coffin in the middle had been opened. The bones inside were thrown everywhere, the skulls were trampled, and as for the burial objects, not a single one was left.
Chen Luo followed the sensing method and walked to the side of the coffin, and found a groove inside.
Unfortunately, the spirit stone on the groove had been dug out by someone, and the fluctuations he had sensed before were the remaining traces on the groove.
“What a pity.”
Chen Luo said secretly.
Unwilling to give up, he searched here again, and the result proved that the place where the spirit stone was located was indeed here.
"Since the tomb owner has spiritual stones buried with him, he might be a qualified person."
Thinking that his trip would not be in vain, Chen Luo picked up the half skull thrown aside by the tomb robbers, ready to take advantage of the opportunity.
'Contacted with the brain waves of a dead person, 100% damaged, unreadable.'
There's not even a brain to pick up!
This result disappointed Chen Luo.
After confirming that there was nothing there, Chen Luo did not stay any longer. He flew up from the tomb robbery hole and helped the tomb owner fill it up, but returned empty-handed.
