Chapter 119: Wrong Practice
After entering the eleventh level of Qi Refining, Chen Luo clearly felt that he had become stronger, and the number of spiritual snakes in his body had reached eighty. According to the strength of one hundred spiritual snakes impacting the foundation building, he was not far from the foundation building.
"The effect of the Soul Building Pill was more violent than expected. Fortunately, I succeeded in breaking through."
Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, the effect of the medicine had lasted. He broke through the eleventh level of Qi Refining in one fell swoop. This speed of cultivation had already surpassed the Heavenly Spiritual Root. One pill saved him more than a year, which was a big profit.
However, after reaching the twelfth level of Qi Refining, more resources are needed.
"I'll start by selling the 'Spirit Building Pill' for a while to make some money back, and then ask Brother Zhou to help me find a few similar pill recipes to see if I can improve them into a few new varieties."
Chen Luo glanced at the alchemy furnace in the corner. He had been refining the elixirs too much recently. His savings were almost empty. If it weren't for the San Xiu Alliance behind Zhou Tianyang helping him to exchange elixirs, he would have been unable to make ends meet two months ago.
The further you advance in your practice, the more resources you consume.
After a half-day rest, Chen Luo got up and went to the restaurant next door to have a big meal. These businesses belonged to the Loose Cultivation Alliance. Chen Luo didn't have to pay for his meals here with his guest token. Afterwards, the boss could go to the county magistrate Zhou Tianyang to settle the bill.
"Junior brother, you are in a very elegant mood."
Hu Qiudao walked into the restaurant, sat down opposite Chen Luo, picked up the wine jug and poured himself a glass without hesitation.
Since the last exchange meeting, Chen Luo and the Hu family have had less contact. During this period, the old man urged him to come to Chen Luo's place every day, wanting to see if the Hu family could help Chen Luo sell pills.
Mushan City is very small, and the secret that Chen Luo is an alchemist cannot be hidden from the Hu family.
Chen Luo naturally understood what the old man of the Hu family was thinking, but the spiritual materials he needed for alchemy were all purchased for him by the Loose Cultivator Alliance. If he sold the elixirs to the Hu family openly, the subsequent cooperation between him and Zhou Tianyang would not be so easy to carry out.
Interests move people's hearts.
This truth remains unchanged throughout the ages.
So he hadn't seen Brother Hu Qiudao for some time. It wasn't until today when he broke through the eleventh level of Qi Refining that he changed his mind. The Loose Cultivator Alliance cannot be abandoned, and the Hu family can also try to cooperate. Only through multilateral cooperation can they earn more. The strength of the eleventh level of Qi Refining also gave him the confidence.
“When it comes to spiritual practice, one should have a balance between relaxation and hard work. Blindly practicing will not lead to immortality. What’s more, we are disciples of Wudao Peak, so we must not neglect the cultivation of our mind and character.” Chen Luo responded with a smile.
Hu Qiudao's realm is still the sixth level of Qi Refining.
This is the cultivation speed of an ordinary middle-grade spiritual root.
He and Huang Ying were considered wealthy cultivators, so their speed was naturally much faster than that of ordinary people. Especially Chen Luo himself, in addition to being wealthy, he also had a lot of external brains to help him, so it was natural that he had such a speed of cultivation. Outsiders who didn't know his background would only think that he was a genius with natural spiritual roots or a special physique.
With Chen Luo's current strength, Hu Qiudao and he are completely on a different level, and he can be dealt with with just one magical power. Recalling the scene when he first met Hu Qiudao on the mountain, he felt as if he were in another world.
"The old man asked me to ask you, can our Hu family do the business of nourishing qi pills and gathering spirit pills?"
Putting down the wine glass, Hu Qiudao asked cautiously.
He could no longer see Chen Luo's realm clearly. This junior fellow disciple who had joined the sect more than a year ago gave him the feeling that he was like his own grandfather, and had become unfathomable.
"able."
Chen Luo gave a simple reply.
"That's no problem. Just tell me if you need anything. We can't let our brothers suffer any loss." Hu Qiudao also felt relieved.
As long as Chen Luo still recognizes him as his senior brother, it will be enough.
In a sect like Shenhu Xianmen, apart from the inner disciples who have truly entered the sect, there is actually not much cohesion among the other disciples, especially the outer disciples who have gone down the mountain for three years. After leaving the sect, they can no longer be considered Xianmen disciples. They didn't learn anything useful in the mountains, and they are still wearing the skin of Xianmen disciples. Except for the little pride left in their hearts, there is almost no difference between them and casual cultivators. Some are even worse than casual cultivators!
The two brothers drank from day till late at night.
They didn't go home until the moon set in the west.
Inside the secret room.
Chen Luo got rid of the smell of alcohol and began to think about his own condition.
In addition to the eleventh level of Qi Refining, he also cultivated the two magical powers of Soul Technique and Wind Control Technique, and learned several minor spells through the Loose Cultivator Alliance, such as Fire Control Technique, Water Condensation Technique, etc. With the five brains of the Five Elements Foundation Establishment cultivators, his attack power was sufficient for the time being, and he felt that no cultivator of the same level should be his opponent.
But the defense problem has not been solved.
Chen Luo's original plan was to wait until he had built his foundation before solving this problem, but judging from his current cultivation speed, it would take a long time to build his foundation. In this case, the defense problem once again became prominent.
You can't stay at home until you have established your foundation, right?
So he thought of the ancient martial arts he obtained from the mummy Taoist priest’s corpse refining - Iron Body Kung Fu.
This technique could make that corpse refiner with great potential never forget it until his death, so it must have its special features. Besides, he already had the brain, so if he didn't practice it, wouldn't it be a waste of this resource?
Close your eyes and let your mind wander.
The corpse's brain was slowly mobilized by him.
At the same time, memories related to the Iron Body Technique emerged in his mind. The moment the memories were mobilized, the corpse's brain quickly became active and began to mobilize the blood and qi around Chen Luo, preparing to start practicing.
"You are wrong. If you practice this way, you will not be able to get started even after hundreds of years. The body training method should go through the twelve main meridians, sink into the blood, supplemented by the evil spirit, and activated by the demon blood."
As soon as the Iron Body Skill was activated, an idea emerged in Chen Luo's mind.
The long-lost mummy brain has come back to life again.
In the eyes of this brain of unknown level, there is no problem in the world. As long as it is "alive", it can give suggestions for any problem. The only flaw is that it is difficult to mobilize. It was okay in the early days and could give some suggestions from time to time, but now, the number of responses is getting less and less. I don't know if it's because I left the corpse for too long or for other reasons.
Chen Luo suspected that this situation might be related to the large tomb of Yue State. When he extracted the brain of the mummy, he did not extract it cleanly.
That was the only body that made the prompt sound stuck.
He still remembers it clearly.
"Did you practice it wrong?"
Chen Luo stopped, opened his eyes, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Lian Shi had practiced the Iron Body Technique for his entire life but had never been able to master it. He originally thought that it was because the technique was too difficult or that Lian Shi was not talented enough. Now it seems that he might have practiced it wrong from the beginning.
"Evil spirit, monster blood"
Two prerequisites given by the mummified brain.
The evil spirits were easy to deal with. There were many of them in the mass graves where the old mummy ghost lived. Just find a grave pit. The hard part was the essence and blood of the monsters. In the Three Kingdoms area controlled by the Shenhu Xianmen, the number of monsters was pitifully small. It was almost impossible to see them in the market. The ones that occasionally appeared were quickly bought by alchemists and magic cultivators, and they could not flow to him at all.
"It seems like we need to add some more burden to Brother Zhou."
Chen Luo thought of Zhou Tianyang who had just broken through the twelfth level of Qi Refining.
The effect of the Explosive Spirit Pill gave him great confidence. He believed that he would definitely come to cooperate with him after he came out of seclusion. At that time, he could just add the monster blood to the materials. He would figure out how to obtain it.
Time passed, and three days passed in a flash.
“Why is there monster blood? This item was not included before.” Zhou Tianyang looked at the list of spiritual materials handed over by Chen Luo, and felt a little uneasy.
Not only is the quantity huge, but it also contains a lot of scarce materials.
Especially the blood essence of monsters, which is very difficult to obtain even within their alliance of scattered cultivators.
"This is the material I recently researched to increase the success rate. After adding the monster's blood essence, the probability of the pill becoming a first-grade pill will be much higher, and the success rate will increase from three to five."
It’s up to Chen Luo to decide how many.
With his current alchemy level, two portions of medicinal materials can produce a furnace, and a furnace can produce at least three pills. Giving up two more pills is not a problem for him.
Zhou Tianyang was full of suspicion, but he couldn't find any evidence.
Alchemists are so arrogant. The right of interpretation is in the hands of others, and the most important thing is that you have no way to prove it.
"I'll go back and get the news, but you'd better not hold your hopes too high." Zhou Tianyang was not stupid. He knew Chen Luo needed monster blood, so he didn't point it out. In his opinion, as long as he could make some money, it was fine.
He can turn a blind eye to the rest.
"Then I'll trouble you, brother." Chen Luo said with a smile.
The identity of an alchemist is very useful. If he didn't have this identity, he would have wasted a lot of time looking for one. Even if he cooperated with the Loose Cultivator Alliance, he would not be able to enjoy the current treatment.
The news came faster than Chen Luo expected. In just two days, Zhou Tianyang found clues about the monster. A giant ape in the Qi Refining Realm!
The next day after learning the news, Zhou Tianyang came to the door.
Also coming with him were the Taoist Mummy of the Corpse-Raising Sect and Old Man Hu.
The top people in Mushan City have all come here.
"We have found a clue to the monster's blood you are looking for."
After entering the house, Zhou Tianyang carefully set up a spiritual defense to isolate the inside and outside. The Taoist monk and Mr. Hu next to him also looked cautious, which made Chen Luo a little confused.
Even though a demon beast is somewhat valuable, it shouldn't be used to this extent, right?
"In addition to the traces of the monster, there is another thing that I believe Fellow Daoist Chen will definitely be interested in." The Taoist monk said in a hoarse voice. He, an old man who usually sleeps in a stone coffin, has come out, and he can probably guess how valuable the things in this clue are.
Chen Luo had a vague guess in his mind.
“Foundation-building spiritual object!”
Mr. Hu told the truth right away.
This answer made Chen Luo feel excited. He was already at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, getting closer and closer to the foundation building stage. He had to collect some things in advance.
"So far, only the four of us know this news."
When Zhou Tianyang first heard the news, he wanted to keep it for himself. However, the monster was too powerful and he couldn't deal with it alone. With no other choice, he chose to find someone to cooperate with.
There were only four people in the late stage of Qi Refining in Mushan City. If they discussed it together, it would be enough to divide. The rest of the Mingyue family and the Guan family were in other cities. It would take some time for the news to be delivered, so they didn't wait.
"Where?"
Without any nonsense, Chen Luo asked directly.
"There is a hidden canyon at the bottom of the Mushan River. I discovered it when I was tracking the monster." Zhou Tianyang revealed the location of the foundation-building spiritual object.
"I have dealt with all the people who discovered the valley with me, but the influence of the foundation-building spiritual objects is too great. I don't know how long this news can be concealed, so I hope everyone will set off now and discuss any problems on the way."
