I borrowed my brain from the Emperor

Chapter 125 Changes

Back in the yard, Chen Luo unfolded the foundation-building elixir recipe given to him by the mummy old ghost and read the contents carefully.

"There seems to be something wrong with this recipe?"

Chen Luo put the pill recipe next to the candle and burned it to ashes bit by bit. He frowned and carefully pondered the logic of matching the spiritual materials inside. The brains of other alchemists in his mind could not help. As far as alchemy was concerned, he had already surpassed those low-level alchemists in the Qi refining stage.

At first glance, there was nothing wrong with the prescription that the mummy old ghost gave him, but several of the methods of using it were inconsistent with the current world of cultivation.

Although he has never seen other foundation-building elixir recipes, he can still detect the differences inside. The elixir recipe that the mummy old ghost gave him was most likely from a certain tomb. The ancient alchemy techniques in it reminded him of the knowledge he learned from his teacher Changqing Zhenren in the tomb of Yue Kingdom.

"Find a chance to try it. Except for a few main ingredients, everything else is easy to buy. Next time Zhujie comes over, ask her to help buy one."

Chen Luo stood up and flicked his sleeves to disperse the dust.

Blow out the candle, close your eyes and meditate.

The night passed.

In the early morning, after finishing his Qi refining, Chen Luo opened his eyes and heard a knock on the door before he even got up.

He frowned, stood up and walked over.

"Junior Brother Chen, Junior Brother Chen!"

Senior brother Hu Qiudao's voice came from outside.

"Senior Brother Hu?"

Chen Luo opened the door and immediately saw Hu Qiudao standing at the door waiting anxiously. Seeing Chen Luo coming out, Hu Qiudao grabbed him and said in a pleading tone.

"Junior brother, do me a favor."

"The old man wants to see you."

Chen Luo was stunned and instantly understood that it was the old man of the Hu family who wanted to see him. The old man who went to the valley with them to compete for the foundation-building spiritual objects also came back. Chen Luo originally wanted to wait for a while and go to Hu's house to check on the situation after the situation was calm, but now it seems that he doesn't have to wait.

"Let's go."

I just happened to go over and take a look, and asked Mr. Hu what happened that day.

The two arrived at Hu's house soon.

As soon as he opened the door, Chen Luo smelled a strong smell of herbal medicine. Looking at the bed, Mr. Hu, who was once the top master in Mushan City and the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, was now as haggard as a terminally ill old man. His eyes were sunken, his eyes were dull, and the spiritual energy in his body was almost gone.

No wonder Hu Qiudao was so anxious. Mr. Hu was already extremely ill in this state.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, are you here?"

Mr. Hu wanted to sit up, but struggled twice without success. Upon seeing this, Hu Qiudao quickly stepped forward and helped the old man up. Then he quickly picked up the medicine bowl next to him and poured a bowl of dark elixir for the old man.

"It's a failure this time. I didn't expect to meet the Rogue Cultivator Alliance and the Corpse Raising Sect joining forces."

Mr. Hu took a sip of the medicine, his face looked better, and he showed a wry smile to Chen Luo.

“I don’t know whose hands the spiritual object fell into in the end.”

Mr. Hu didn't know what was going on behind the scenes. He had been away from Shenhu Xianmen for too long, and his information channels were not as good as the mummy old ghost.

"Nine Poison Valley."

Chen Luo gave him an answer.

Mr. Hu was stunned for a moment, then showed a wry smile.

"I see."

There was a flash of relief in his eyes.

Building a foundation is difficult.

It is even more difficult to become a casual cultivator. Without the support of a sect, it is almost extremely difficult to obtain foundation building resources. He had been practicing for half his life and finally reached the peak of the thirteenth level of Qi refining. The foundation building gate was right in front of him, but he couldn't get past it. His current vitality and blood are no longer enough to support him to forcefully break through.

"I was greedy this time." Mr. Hu laughed at himself.

After being cautious all my life, I finally failed.

"I invited Fellow Daoist Chen here because I want to ask you a favor."

Mr. Hu looked away and did not talk about this topic again.

"Our Hu family has been operating in Mushan City for 170 years. The management of five generations cannot be stopped in my hands." As he spoke, Mr. Hu took out a black token from his chest. He now no longer has the spiritual power to even use the storage bag.

Chen Luo took the token and took a look.

This is a square token, different from that of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, and seems to belong to another force.

"This is the token of the royal family of She Kingdom. Every year on the eighth day of March, the royal family holds an exchange meeting, and our Hu family is also invited. On the surface, it is mainly for the exchange of experiences among immortal cultivators and the auction of materials, but in fact it is Immortal cultivators re-divided the interests of She Kingdom. If you don’t go this time, Mushan City will be assigned to others. Qiudao is too weak and does not have the strength in the later stage of Qi Refining. If you go there, you will not be able to keep the foundation. I hope you For my sake, help him." Mr. Hu said sincerely, and his words had already put Chen Luo on the same level as him.

In the world of immortality, strength is respected.

Mr. Hu sees things much more clearly than Hu Qiudao.

After speaking, without waiting for Chen Luo to answer, Mr. Hu took out something from the side.

"Millennium Spiritual Ginseng!"

Chen Luo had eaten one of the spiritual ginseng before, but it was an ordinary hundred-year-old spiritual ginseng. This thing that Mr. Hu took out will make even a monk at the Qi Refining Consummation Stage excited when he sees it, because one of the main spiritual materials recorded in the Foundation Establishment Pill Formula is the Millennium Spiritual Ginseng!

"This is the reward."

"I see."

Chen Luo took the ginseng and put it into the storage bag. This gift was very valuable.

This spiritual ginseng should have been prepared by Mr. Hu for himself, but it was a pity that he had not collected the materials until his death. The man was about to die, so he simply took out the things as a favor, which not only provided the Hu family with a backer, but also eliminated the hidden dangers caused by the spiritual objects. It could be said that it served multiple purposes with one stone.

Chen Luo also understood what Mr. Hu meant, so he did not hide the process of getting things, so that everyone inside and outside the Hu family could see it. After the news is passed on, no one will come to the Hu family to cause trouble.

The exchange meeting was not difficult for him. It happened that he also needed some spiritual materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, so they went over to buy them together. I hope that the exchange meeting held by the royal family of the luxury country can be a little more upscale.

Hu Qiudao stood by the side the whole time. The longer he left Xianmen, the less he spoke and the greater the change in his mentality. By now, it was hard for him to look at Chen Luo, his junior brother, the same way he did at first. When communicating with Chen Luo, he gradually became cautious, just like when dealing with the elders of the immortal sect.

Outside, the changes brought about by strength are more intuitive than the Immortal Sect.

After leaving the Hu family, Chen Luo first went to the Loose Cultivator Alliance to find Zhu Jie. As a cooperative alchemist of the Sanxiu Alliance, he still had to say hello to Zhujie when he left Mushan City. "Exchange meeting? Just in time, I'm going too."

After learning about Chen Luo's destination, Zhujie chose to go together without saying a word. She was also going to go originally. They and the Sanxiu Alliance had always been involved in the division of interests in the luxury country, but now it was just a few days ahead of schedule.

In the luxury country, there are only two most valuable areas, one is the capital, and the other is Kamikaze County.

These two places have teleportation points for the Divine Lake Immortal Sect. When cross-region flying boats come over, they will stop at these two places. Disciples with spiritual roots who want to join the Shenhu Immortal Sect must first go to these two places. The Heishan Village that Chen Luo, Xie Shuang and the others came to in the teleportation formation was under the rule of Kamikaze County.

In the division of interests in the luxury country, the capital and Kamikaze County are both must-win areas.

Relatively speaking, the value in other places is not that high. For example, the Muwang Territory where Mushan City is located is defined as a remote area. When Zhu Jie was first assigned here, he was full of resentment and felt that he had suffered a big loss. This concept changed only after meeting Chen Luo.

"Then let's go together."

Chen Luo nodded in agreement. Anyway, one more person is not a lot, and one less person is not a lot.

This time he went there mainly to collect foundation building materials to prepare for the subsequent foundation building. There was only one spiritual material in the hands of the old mummy ghost. With this foundation-building elixir recipe that might have problems, he didn't know what he would make. In order to make sure nothing went wrong, Chen Luo decided to find a material to practice it first. Take a look. By the way, I went to the royal family of Luxury Country to see if I could find some brains of higher value.

It’s best to be from a second-level alchemist.

If that doesn't work, you can dig a grave.

Half a day later.

Hu Qiudao came to visit again. The difference was that this time he changed into mourning clothes, and his tone of voice when talking to Chen Luo was also much more respectful. He no longer addressed himself as junior brother, but became 'Senior Chen'.

People seem to mature all of a sudden.

Chen Luo sighed, and went to Hu's house with Hu Qiudao to see Mr. Hu off for the last time. Standing in front of the mourning hall, looking at Mr. Hu being placed in the coffin, Chen Luo gave up the idea of ​​collecting his brain for the first time.

Looking at the crying Hu family and the mourning hall hung with black cloth, he went over to burn a stick of incense and then left.

Outside, it's raining.

It's drizzling.

Chen Luo walked alone on the street, feeling a little cold. Recalling the scene of Mr. Hu lying in the coffin in his mind, his heart became more determined to follow the Tao.

Build foundation and form elixir.

Even immortality!

Half a month later.

After packing their belongings, Chen Luo, Hu Qiudao, and Zhu Jie got on the carriage heading to the capital.

There is no transfer point for cross-domain flying boats near Mushan City, so you can only take a carriage.

After staggering for more than ten days, the three of them entered the city with the flying boat node nearby. After paying six spiritual stones, the three of them boarded the flying boat heading to the capital of the extravagant country.

This kind of flying boat is not as good as the cross-domain flying boat of Shenhu Xianmen. The whole flying boat is only about twenty meters long, and the number of people who can ride it is very limited. On weekdays, this flying boat is rarely activated, because there are not that many immortal cultivators in the luxury country, and consumables in the form of spiritual stones are even less used.

"This flying boat was made by the Imperial Family's Tiangongyuan. The inner sect disciple who used to be the Shenhu Immortal Sect's Shenhuo Peak returned to She Kingdom after the attack on the foundation failed. It took the whole country thirteen years to build these five boats. Flying boat.”

Sitting on the flying boat, Zhu Jie introduced the flying boat at her feet to Chen Luo.

The power of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance is very powerful. It has reached the sect level in terms of information control. What is missing is the top Dinghai Divine Needle. If a golden elixir monk appears in the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, then the power of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance will immediately It will be promoted to become the fourth largest sect in the land of various countries.

"It's already great."

Chen Luo looked at the flying boat under his feet. He could clearly sense the patterns of the magic weapons running inside and a few simple wind-avoiding formations. At the level of Qi Refining Realm, this kind of flying boat is already the top skill. Further up is the realm of foundation-building monks, and the one from Sheguo Tiangongyuan has not yet reached that level.

Chen Luo's current level of alchemy is probably at this level.

The first level is at its peak, but the second level is less than that.

The speed of the flying boat was very fast, and two days later the three of them arrived at the capital of Sheguo.

Compared with Mushan City, the prosperity of the capital is like another world. From the architectural structure and street layout here, you can see the outline of some Shenhu Xianmen. All the direct royal members of the She Kingdom have gone to the Shenhu Immortal Sect to practice cultivation. There are even rumors that the backer behind the royal family of the She Kingdom is the elder of the Shenhu Immortal Sect, a foundation-building immortal cultivator!

Where Chen Luo and the others landed, there were already people waiting to greet them.

In the extravagant country, those who cultivate immortals are superior to others. Those who use spiritual stones to ride on flying boats will have a higher status.

Because this means that the other party is a wealthy immortal cultivator.

"Invite the three of you."

"Has the exchange meeting started?"

Chen Luo thought that after arriving in the capital, he would have to wait ten days and a half before officially entering the exchange meeting. He did not expect that the royal family of She Kingdom would do things so efficiently and start immediately.

"We are all cultivating immortals. Who has the time to waste that time? Those who come first may not necessarily give face to the Royal Family of She Kingdom. In the world of cultivating immortals, strength is respected."

Zhujie looked calm. This was not the first time she had come here, so she naturally knew the process of the exchange meeting.

After entering the gate, the person who led the way retreated on his own. Zhu Jie took Chen Luo and Hu Qiudao to the inner courtyard.

The venue for the exchange meeting was specially designated by the royal family of She Kingdom, and the entire area was used for trading. After entering the inner garden, Chen Luo saw many immortal cultivators setting up stalls. Most of them were in the first three levels of Qi Refining. The items on display were also ordinary items. Among these items, Chen Luo also saw some ordinary martial arts. Cheats, and some neatly crafted trinkets.

"There's basically nothing good out there. Only the trash in the early stages of Qi refining hang around here." A trace of disdain flashed in Zhu Jie's eyes.

She was easy to talk to in front of Chen Luo because Chen Luo was an alchemist.

It's different for others.

Hu Qiudao followed Chen Luo and watched silently. Mr. Hu is gone, and the Hu family will have to rely on him to support it from now on. I have to start learning things that I didn’t know before.

"Ask you something."

"What?" Zhu Jie looked back.

"Is there any cemetery of immortal cultivators near the capital? It would be best to have a tomb of a foundation-building or elixir-forming cultivator, or an ancient battlefield." Chen Luo asked sincerely.

He is such a down-to-earth person and doesn't like to beat around the bush.

　Asking for a monthly ticket. . If you're passing by, don't miss it.
