I borrowed my brain from the Emperor

Chapter 83 Paying Respect to the Elders

After accepting the task of assisting in painting the talisman from Senior Sister Shen, Chen Luo did not stop at the main peak and returned to the cemetery early.

The senior guard guarding the tomb drank too much last night and didn't go out all day today. He is still sleeping in the house, and his snoring is deafening.

He had already asked last night. After surviving this year, this senior brother would be ready to go down the mountain. After persisting on the mountain for five years, I still failed to break through to the late stage of Qi refining. Seeing that I was getting older, I gave up some vague thoughts.

Night falls.

Chen Luo closed his thatched cottage and quietly came to the cemetery.

"To the southwest, the ninth pit in the third row."

Chen Luo recalled the location that the tomb guard told him yesterday.

He had stepped on it last night.

There is no one else in the cemetery at night except the tomb guard. Especially at night, not even a bird can be seen.

Soon, Chen Luo found the tomb mentioned by the tombkeeper in a low weed pile.

The tombstone was in tatters, with a corner missing, and the words on it were soaked by the rain and were invisible. I don’t know how many years he has been dead, no wonder no one cares about him. Not to mention the grave mound, which was covered with weeds and some of the soil was washed away by water. It didn't look like a grave at all. If it weren't for the reminder from the tomb guard, Chen Luo would have thought that this place was just a small mound that he forgot to clean up.

After brushing aside the weeds, Chen Luo couldn't help but sigh.

Time is the most ruthless.

Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator will be forgotten after death. In a hundred years, when the tomb guard is gone, who else in the world will know that a Foundation Establishment cultivator is buried here?

"I didn't expect that after joining the Immortal Sect, I would still have to return to my old profession."

After confirming that the location was correct, Chen Luo took out the tools he had prepared during the day, and also took out the deerskin gloves he brought from the Yue Kingdom Tomb and put them aside.

After briefly identifying the burial location of the bones, he picked up the shovel.

The digging started with a bang.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, Chen Luo stopped what he was doing.

When he pulled back the soil, he found that the shovel had dug into the bones. The dignified foundation-building monk didn't even have a coffin.

His shovel dug right on the top of the skull, which means that the skull of a foundation-building monk is relatively hard, otherwise the bones would have collapsed if the shovel went down.

‘It’s not poisonous. ’

The corpse burying experience I learned from my third uncle came into effect.

Chen Luo fiddled with the skull with a shovel, and after making sure there was no danger, he put on special deerskin gloves.

He reached out and grabbed the skull.

‘After contact with the brain waves of a dead person, the damage degree is 96%. Do you want to read it? ’

Familiar information emerged, Chen Luo perked up and chose to read it without saying a word.

"Read!"

A familiar brain wave flowed into his body along the palm of his hand.

"It sure works!"

Chen Luo perked up and looked at the skull in his hand with emotion. He didn't expect the plan to be completed so smoothly, and he picked up the brain of a foundation-building monk for nothing.

"Junior brother?"

A voice suddenly sounded.

Chen Luo, who was still immersed in joy, suddenly froze. When he turned around, he found that the tomb guard brother had appeared behind him at some point, carrying a fresh pheasant in his hand.

Wasn't he sleeping in the house before?

"This is how you look up to the elders!"

Looking at Chen Luo holding the elder's skull in his hand, the tomb guard brother who had just returned from hunting felt numb all over.

I thought that an honest and obedient junior brother had arrived, but I didn't expect that he was the same as me!

No wonder he chose to take on the task of guarding the tomb.

For this hobby, without the cover of the tomb guarding mission, he will definitely be chopped into several pieces by the law enforcement disciples.

"Brother, I actually want to give the elder a bath, do you believe it? His old man has been buried there alone for so many years, all alone and helpless." Chen Luo did not expect that the senior tombkeeper would be so lucky to be digging his grave. The time has come.

Is this guy usually a night owl?

"I believe!"

The tombkeeper brother nodded seriously.

It's just that there's something wrong with the expression on his face. The suspicion of 'you think I'm stupid' is almost written on his face.

"But junior brother, you should not have too much hope. These two elders are very poor."

'How did you know? ! ’

Chen Luo looked dull.

The expression of the senior guarding the tomb suddenly changed.

"Stop talking and continue weeding."

The tomb guard brother patted Chen Luo on the shoulder with a familiar expression, then picked up the roast chicken he had beaten and left humming a song.

Looking at him, he seemed to be in a very happy mood.

Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

He also didn't expect that the senior tombkeeper would have such an attitude. But in this way, he can do whatever he wants. Just fill the grave bag before dawn in the daytime.

After confirming that there was no danger, Chen Luo stopped being as sneaky as he was at the beginning.

The speed of swinging the shovel has increased a lot.

Soon, the second elder's grave was dug up by him. Like the previous foundation-building elder, this elder was not buried with a coffin.

Chen Luo skillfully pressed his hands on the skull, absorbed the brain waves, and then refilled the elder's skull.

Harvesting the brains of two Foundation-Building Immortal Cultivators in one night made Chen Luo feel full. After rubbing my somewhat groggy brain, I gave up on those unqualified charlatans, and then started a new round of digging graves.

Without the foundation-building elder, we cannot let go of the later stages of Qi refining.

"This Junior Brother Chen is even more persistent than I was before. He even digs the graves of Qi Refining disciples." Senior Brother Chen, who was cooking hot pot in the house, glanced at Junior Brother Chen who was working hard to dig graves outside the window and couldn't help but sigh. . Late at night.

Chen Luo was still swinging the shovel over there.

This dedicated attitude towards the grave digging business is much stronger than what he had at the beginning.

Time passed by, and half a month passed by.

During this half month, Chen Luo practiced Qi during the day, helped Senior Sister Shen draw talismans in the afternoon, and dug graves to replenish his external brain at night.

Chen Luo, who no longer had any scruples, became more and more bold in digging graves. Anyway, there were only two people in the back mountain, namely him and the tomb-keeper. As long as the tomb-keeper didn't stop him, he went on unscrupulously.

Finally, due to his unremitting efforts, the external brain on his body underwent a major upgrade.

Except for the brain of the royal family and the brain of the Nineteenth Young Master, all the brains of other Jianghu people were replaced. Even the brain of the grandmaster who originally protected the Nineteenth Young Master was not left behind.

With the assistance of nearly thirty advanced Qi refining masters and two foundation-building immortal cultivators, his understanding of Qi refining realm has been advancing rapidly.

What was once a difficult problem now seems extremely simple.

Finally, on the sixteenth day of guarding the tomb, Chen Luo successfully broke through and reached the third level of Qi refining!

This was achieved by relying on one's own understanding without using any spiritual stones or external resources.

After breaking through to the third level of Qi Refining, the number of controls controlled by the external brain increased again. Chen Luo, who happened to be guarding the tombs in the cemetery, simply came to make up for it and dug the graves of a group of late Qi refining disciples to fill the gap.

inside the room.

Chen Luo practiced according to the 'Art of Enlightenment', and the refined spiritual energy circulated in his body, and the state of the third level of Qi refining has been completely stabilized.

He hasn't dug much in recent days.

He has shoveled all the weeds near the cemetery. The cemetery looks brand new, and the soil is new.

"The third phase of Qi refining is almost complete. In terms of spiritual energy refining, no one in the entire Shenhu Immortal Sect is faster than me."

Opening his eyes, Chen Luo felt the changes in his body.

With the assistance of a number of external brains, his cultivation speed increased to the limit. The first three levels of the 'Enlightenment Technique' are as if they have been practiced hundreds of times, with different insights echoing in my mind. His 'intuition' from multiple angles without blind spots allowed him to practice the third level of Qi Refining to the limit.

After reaching this level, you need to start preparing to break through to the middle stage of Qi training.

One is the practice, and the second is the practice resources. Among the Shenhu Immortal Sect, disciples in the middle stage of Qi refining are the mainstream.

The new disciples have begun to differentiate in the past few months. With the help of resources, the geniuses with superior spiritual roots have gradually entered the middle stage of Qi refining, and the medium spiritual roots have also reached the third level of Qi refining. Most of the lower-level spiritual roots are still at the first level of Qi Refining, and the few who are willing to spend money are at the second level of Qi Refining. They are still a long way from the third level of Qi Refining, let alone the middle stage of Qi Refining.

This gap will further widen over time.

"Spiritual roots and resources!"

Chen Luo took a deep breath and began to rest.

The senior tombkeeper next door had already started snoring. After lying down completely, the senior tombkeeper lived a life of ease. According to his words, after surviving this period, he would go down the mountain, return to his hometown, become a rich man, marry hundreds of wives, and strive to give birth to a high-class child. The descendants of spiritual roots come out.

Among the Immortal Sect of Shenhu Lake, the tomb-guarding senior brother in the middle stage of Qi refining was inconspicuous. But if it were placed in the Three Kingdoms Zone below, he would be an extremely big shot in the middle stage of Qi training.

The number of immortal cultivators is inconspicuous compared to the population base of the Three Kingdoms.

Even if there are disciples going up and down the mountain every year, it will not have any impact on the whole.

The next day.

After Chen Luo completed his tomb-sweeping mission, he went to the training platform in front. He remembered that there was a small exchange meeting there in the morning. They are all senior brothers and sisters on the Enlightenment Peak. It can be regarded as a way of communication for everyone to share what they have.

He completed Senior Sister Shen's task of drawing the talisman ten days ago. During the recent period, I used the accumulation of my own tasks to buy some materials and simply drew two talismans.

Dust remover!

The simplest kind of talisman, he learned how to draw it while doing a task for Senior Sister Shen, which saved money for learning talismans.

Chen Luo sat in the corner and placed the two dust-removing charms he had drawn in front of him.

There are only two in total, and I can’t afford to draw more.

His few mission points were used to exchange a total of five dust-removing talisman materials. The production of two was already beyond the specification. The success rate of official talisman masters was not as high as his.

"Senior brother, are you going to sell talismans?"

Three shadows blocked Chen Luo. He looked up and saw Huang Ying and Fu An. The difference from before is that there is one person missing. I don’t know if he is no longer hanging out with them, or if he has other encounters, or if the person is gone.

"One piece of spiritual stone."

Chen Luo responded to them with price.

"I want it!"

Huang Ying immediately took out two spiritual stones and bought the two dust-removing talismans.

Such a bold behavior made Chen Luo stunned for a moment.

They don’t even pay back the price!

"Did senior brother draw this talisman himself?"

"Yes."

Chen Luo did not deny it.

He took out the talisman to sell without any thought of hiding it. If you don’t want to go down the mountain to do tasks, but also want to quickly accumulate resources, you can only rely on selling charms. Among the knowledge he currently possesses, only talisman making is the easiest to realize. The remaining three are still in the theoretical stage and are not easy to try.

"Where did you learn the spirit injection technique?"

Fu An, who was standing next to Huang Ying, couldn't help but ask.

After being introduced for so long, they are no longer the rookies they were back then.

He knows the value of the Four Arts of Immortal Cultivation better than anyone else, especially among the casual cultivators of the Three Kingdoms. Throwing any one of the Four Arts of Immortal Cultivation can cause a war. The same goes for the way of talismans. You can find talismans, resources and even talented people. The real difficulty is to pass it on.

The technique of injecting spirits is the core of the Tao of Talismans.

"No comment."

Chen Luo glanced at Fu An and ignored the question.

The spirit-injecting technique was improved by Chen Luo by using the knowledge of immortal literature taught by Master Changqing. When he was taught the immortal literature by Master Changqing in the Yue Kingdom Tomb, he once said that the immortal literature can transform spiritual energy into reality. The available power can be used on talismans, formations, and weapon refining, which can be described as mysterious and useless.
