Chapter 170 Mountaineering
After completing the transaction, Chen Luo did not stop, but turned around and walked out of the city. When he was doing the transaction with the little boy, he asked him about the mass grave near Black Stone City, and planned to try his luck there to see if he could pick up two high-level brains.
“There are indeed people who are not afraid of death.”
As soon as he left Black Rock City, several auras followed him out. It was probably because of his generosity in buying things in the market that aroused the greed of these people.
Among these people, Chen Luo also saw an acquaintance, the old man who sold him the curse method was also among them.
These guys all regarded him as a fat sheep and were ready to make a big profit from him.
"I haven't even gotten any information about the third-tier spiritual veins yet, and I've already attracted such a large group of flies."
A hint of coldness appeared on Chen Luo's face, and he sped up and flew towards the mass grave outside the city.
"Don't fight over it, I, the Blood Demon Lord, have my eyes on this fat sheep."
"Bullshit, I was the first to discover it."
As soon as they left the range of Black Stone City, this group of robbery cultivators could no longer hold back, and they used their magical powers to attack Chen Luo one by one.
Chen Luofei stopped, looked at the dozen or so Tribulation Cultivators flying over, and stretched out one hand.
The art of controlling the wind.
The magical power of the foundation-building period exploded and rolled over like mowing the grass. The 'Blood Demon Lord' who was in the front didn't even have time to scream before he was chopped into seventeen or eighteen pieces, with blood splattering everywhere. He was deader than dead.
"Foundation Building Overhaul!!?"
The robbers who fell behind and were a little slow were frightened to death, and some even knelt down on the spot and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
"Senior, please spare my life."
Chen Luo didn't even bother to look at it. He just stretched out his hand and used the wind control technique to move over.
The gale raged, and after sweeping through, only a pile of corpses were left on the spot.
This kind of low-level evil cultivator not only has insufficient cultivation, but also poor eyesight. The little boy has great potential as an evil cultivator, but it's a pity that he didn't follow out.
He stretched out his hand and more than a dozen storage bags of the robbers fell into his sleeves.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat and should not be wasted.
After killing the people, Chen Luo flew towards the mass grave again. This time it was much quieter and he did not meet any fearless cultivators on the road.
Mass grave outside Blackrock City.
This is a wasteland located on another hilltop, filled with miasma, and poisonous snakes and toads can be seen everywhere.
After Chen Luofei came down, he took out a shovel skillfully and started working without saying a word.
A grave.
Empty
The second one, the third one, and all the way to the tenth one, all of them were empty! Chen Luo stopped with an unpleasant look on his face.
Careless!
This is the territory of evil cultivators. For them, even dead bones are valuable. Bones can be used as curse materials, rotten meat can be used to make poison, and occasionally there are mutilated but not dead bodies, which are also dug up and taken back to make corpses.
Not to mention ghosts and the like. The evil practitioners who practice ghost magic love these things the most and will take them away immediately once they encounter them.
There is no place cleaner than this in the entire Black Rock City.
Not only were there no corpses to be seen, but even the remnant souls were swept away by those who were refining the "Soul Banners".
"I can only look for another opportunity later."
He put away the shovel and flew back to the city.
In the next few days, Chen Luo bought a house in the outer city and lived there. The original owner was a cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining. Because of the poor family management, he could not continue to live in Black Stone City. Just when Chen Luo was looking for a place to live, he sold the house and the title deed to Chen Luo.
"First, make the elixir, then learn the curse technique and the Yin Lei spell."
Chen Luo sat cross-legged in the room and set a short-term training plan for himself. The materials for the Yang Yuan Dan have been gathered. The Heart Yuan Stone he got from Madam Bai Gu was ground into powder, which was enough for him to use for a long time. The next step is to transform these things into his own strength.
Taking out Elder An’s life-saving alchemy furnace, Chen Luo skillfully performed a spiritual spell.
'Raise the temperature before making the medicine. The medicinal gas from the furnace can increase the success rate of making the medicine.'
Elder An’s thoughts emerged in the external brain.
This furnace was originally his, and he was the only one who knew the small details of its use. Chen Luo followed Elder An's habit and began to refine the first furnace of Yang Yuan Dan.
'It is used as medicine in four doses.'
'The medicinal properties are integrated, without rejection.'
The deer demon's brain and the wood-attributed foundation-building cultivator's brain, which had been working together for a long time, became active.
The alchemy furnace rotated, and the aroma of medicine filled the air. Fortunately, Chen Luo had set up an isolation array before his retreat to prevent the spread of the aroma of medicine.
After a moment, Chen Luo put the auxiliary medicine prepared by Elder An into the alchemy furnace, then scraped out a small portion of Heart Yuan Stone powder and mixed it in.
The temperature in the furnace was getting higher and higher, and with Chen Luo's skillful technique, the pill was quickly condensed.
It was the first time to refine a second-level elixir, and it was easy and simple for Chen Luo.
The alchemy was successfully refined without any surprises. When the alchemy furnace was opened, seven brown pills appeared at the bottom. Seven pills were refined in one furnace. Elder An's alchemy skills were indeed much better than Chen Luo's.
"Top grade Yang Yuan Dan, not bad."
Taking advantage of the momentum, Chen Luo opened the furnace several more times until he had refined all the auxiliary medicines prepared by Elder An. With a dozen gourds full of Yang Yuan Dan in hand, Chen Luo began his journey of retreat
Time flies, and five years have passed in a flash.
In a shabby courtyard in the outer city of Black Stone City, weeds grew all over the yard, rats ran around in the yard, and occasionally some homeless cultivators came here to spend the day.
After not being left for five years, this yard was regarded as an abandoned place by many people. Some people even killed people and buried bodies here and did some shady transactions.
Chen Luo knew exactly what was happening outside.
After five years of seclusion, he ate a full gourd of Yang Yuan Dan. With the help of so many pills, his spiritual power increased a lot, and his magic dragons increased from one to three.
After this step, the shortcomings of the Heart Demon Sutra were further magnified.
As his main cultivation technique, the Heart Demon Sutra was incompatible with him and had begun to affect his cultivation speed.
The practice in the foundation-building period is difficult in itself, and any small factor will have a huge impact in the later stages.
"Five years."
Chen Luo opened his eyes, spread out his spiritual awareness, and took in everything in the yard.
After five years of hard training, not only did his spiritual power improve, but his spiritual awareness also grew. From his original state close to the late stage of foundation building, he has advanced to a level close to the perfection of foundation building. He is considered a leader among those in the late stage of foundation building.
The only problem is the realm.
The practice in the foundation-building stage was more difficult than he had expected. After five years of practice, he still hadn't broken through to the middle stage of foundation-building.
"Even if building a foundation is so difficult, how can one cultivate to form a pill?"
Chen Luo tried to call upon the Jindan brain, and found that the other party did not think that he was practicing slowly. In the cognition of the Jindan brain, the practice of the foundation-building period was originally measured in hundreds of years, and those who could practice to perfection within two hundred years were all geniuses.
Chen Luo's practice, which has made progress over the past five years, is a speed that only a 'genius' with a single spiritual root and excellent comprehension can achieve in his Jindan brain.
Chen Luo tried to call upon the mummy's brain again.
'You can find a ninth-level spiritual vein and practice there. You will be able to break through in a few months.'
This further deepened Chen Luo's understanding of the mummy's brain.
The person in the tomb was definitely not the Nascent Soul or the God of Transformation as he guessed. He had never even heard of the ninth-order spiritual vein. Not only him, but also his master Wuwei Zhenren was the same. What he was planning to do after leaving the Seven Kingdoms was only a third-order spiritual vein.
"According to the current progress, it will take at least twenty years to break through to the middle stage of foundation building."
The standard for the middle stage of foundation building is ten magic dragons. If Chen Luo continues to take Yang Yuan Pills, it will take at least sixteen years for him to reach ten magic dragons, and that is assuming that his practice speed does not decrease.
This is basically impossible.
Chen Luo already felt that his cultivation speed had slowed down. He had taken too many Yang Yuan Pills and the effect of the medicine had weakened. Also, the effect of the technique made him absorb and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at half the speed. This house was not a spiritual vein, and the effect was not as good as the practice room of Shenhu Xianmen.
Therefore, the best way for Chen Luo to solve the current problem is to find a spiritual place and change his skills!
"The closed-door cultivation method in the outer city won't work! It's difficult to buy materials for alchemy, and there's no experience to exchange with people at the same level of foundation building. If we continue like this, our cultivation will only get slower and slower."
Chen Luo stood up and walked out of the wooden house.
After five years, there was finally some movement in the abandoned cabin.
When Chen Luo went out, the first thing he did was to kill the independent cultivator who had buried the corpse in his yard. He didn't need to care so much about the several cultivators who were in the early stage of Qi training.
After killing the man, he walked towards the middle level of Blackrock City without stopping for a moment.
The middle area of Black Stone City is obviously much more prosperous. After coming in, Chen Luo clearly felt that the spiritual energy was much richer, and it has reached the strength of the training rooms such as the Ding of Shenhu Xianmen. This is just the outer street. From this point, we can see the effect of the third-level spiritual vein.
Chen Luo found an "inn" and prepared to enter the inner city.
The problem of the technique and the spiritual land has affected his progress in cultivation, and it is a difficult problem that must be solved at the moment. The best way is to go to the inner city, get close to the third-level spiritual vein first, and then look for the technique.
The inner city of Black Stone City is on the top of the mountain, and there are formations around it to isolate it. It is absolutely impossible to get up there without a guide. Chen Luoxun's "post station" is one of the few "qualified" guides in Black Stone City.
After paying the money, Chen Luo got on the post carriage.
The carriages all have the blood of monsters, so they can travel on mountain roads without any difficulty.
"In the beginning, there was no distinction between the inner city and the outer city in Black Stone City. The real Black Stone City was only the one on the mountain. The places we live in now were built around it by the monks later. It just has the name of Black Stone City and cannot be considered the real Black Stone City."
On the winding mountain road.
The monk who led the way introduced the history of Black Stone City to people.
He brought more than twenty people on this trip, and each person got ten spirit stones, so he could make a lot of money.
Chen Luo sat in the carriage, looking at the scenery on both sides of the mountain road.
The distance between the core and the middle layer of Black Stone City is not close. The altitude difference between the two is nearly 8,000 meters. There are large formations and restrictions around the mountain. It is impossible to fly up with a sword. If you get close, it will trigger the formation and attract the attack of the third-level formation.
The only way to enter the inner city is through the 'post station'.
There were four other people riding in the carriage like Chen Luo. The post station in Black Stone City was very good at doing business and specially prepared carriages for these foundation-building monks. With the monster blood horses pulling them, the carriages were extremely stable, which not only prevented them from being attacked by monster beasts on the road, but also showed the identity of the foundation-building monks.
The other cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm did not receive such good treatment. They rode in ordinary horse-drawn carriages with more than twenty people squeezed together, and the carriage was always bumpy.
After listening for a while, Chen Luo no longer paid attention to these young cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm, but turned his consciousness to the four carriages behind.
All those sitting here are foundation-building cultivators, and there is one person in particular. Even he feels the oppression of the spiritual power on his body. It can be seen at a glance that he is in the middle stage of foundation-building.
The remaining three carriages were very close, and the three people inside were still communicating with their spiritual senses. It seemed that they were acquaintances.
"It's really rare to meet four foundation-building people at once."
Chen Luo secretly increased his vigilance.
Immortal cultivators who can build a foundation are all rare geniuses. No one of these people should be underestimated. Even Chen Luo would not provoke someone of the same level unless he had no other choice, because you never know what magical powers the other person has cultivated, or what kind of life-saving trump card he has.
