Chapter 114 I Want to Touch It
On the clean long bluestone street, Chen Luo sat on a luxurious carriage, closing his eyes and meditating. Sitting across from him was the man in gray robe who had just tested him.
After he took out the guest order and asked to meet, the other party immediately agreed.
After using the magic talisman to contact the person behind him, it didn't take long for someone to send a carriage. The carriage was very luxurious and had the official seal of the luxury country printed on it. This represents the majesty of the court and is the official carriage.
After getting on the carriage, the carriage moved forward and entered the North City District of Mushan City.
This is the aristocratic area of Mushan City, and the Hu family is also here. When Chen Luo came to Hu's house before, he paid special attention to it.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped in front of a mansion.
Two men in black wearing white masks had been waiting at the door for a long time.
"Wen Dao Xiaoge got a good name. Is the person behind you County Magistrate Zhou?"
Chen Luo got off the carriage and looked up at the plaque at the door of the courtyard. He asked his senior brother Hu Qiudao privately about this place and found out that this was the residence of the county magistrate Zhou Tianyang.
The man in gray robe followed, his eyes a little dull.
He has still not recovered from the attack of the 'Spiritual Soul Technique'. His ears are full of buzzing sounds, and his eyes will have double images from time to time when he sees things. The damage caused by the divine soul technique is not on the surface of the body, but on the level of the divine soul. During the Qi refining period, injuries of this level can only be recovered slowly through meditation and practice. The gray-robed man suffered a complete spiritual attack, and it would take at least half a year to recover.
"Dear guests, please come inside."
Two masked servants said respectfully. Neither of these two people have spiritual energy fluctuations on their bodies. They are just ordinary warriors. There are not many immortal cultivators in Mushan City. The gray-robed man who tested Chen Luo is already a number of masters in the organization.
The two masked men separated to the left and right and helped Chen Luo push open the courtyard door.
"I hope you will forgive me for being a distant guest when visiting my humble abode."
As soon as he entered the main hall, Chen Luo saw Magistrate Zhou wearing an official robe and welcoming him with a smile on his face.
He has already received the news that Chen Luo holds the guest token.
After confirming that he was not an enemy, Magistrate Zhou immediately relaxed, especially since Chen Luo still had a guest token in his hand, which meant that the other party had done business with their casual cultivator alliance and was recognized by the alliance as a talent that needed to be attracted.
"Magistrate Zhou."
Chen Luo returned the favor with a smile.
The moment he entered the door, he had already sensed the other person's breath.
Eighth level of Qi refining!
It’s no wonder that a cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining can be the magistrate of Mushan City. Except for the old man of the Hu family, the county magistrate Zhou Tianyang is considered the strongest person in the local area.
"We discuss friendship in private, but when we are promoted to an official position, it will be ignored."
With a spring-like smile on his face, Magistrate Zhou pulled Chen Luo towards the inner hall.
"I also went to Xianmen to practice twenty years ago. At that time, I joined Xingdou Peak and learned formations for three years. However, when I came down from the mountain, I still didn't understand how to set up formations. It was really embarrassing."
"It turns out to be Senior Brother Zhou."
Chen Luo took advantage of the situation and changed his title.
"Haha, we are all brothers from the same sect. It's rare to see them today. I will introduce some friends to my junior brother." Zhou Tianyang was very satisfied with Chen Luo's attitude, and his words became more and more intimate.
The two entered the inner hall talking and laughing.
By the time I walked in, the titles had changed to elder brother and wiser brother.
This scene made the man in gray robe feel confused. That is to say, they knew that the two of them had just met each other not long ago. For someone who didn't know, they would have thought that they were long-lost brothers.
Walking into the house, Chen Luo discovered that there was already a group of people here.
The time he came over coincided with their exchange meeting, a gathering for mutual exchange of resources. Except for sects, casual cultivators and small cultivating families all rely on this exchange meeting to exchange resources.
Chen Luo, who came in with Zhou Tianyang, instantly attracted the attention of several people in the room. Two people were stunned when they saw him.
"Junior Brother Chen?"
Chen Luo looked over and couldn't help but smile.
It turned out to be senior brother Hu Qiudao.
The Hu family's channel for exchanging resources is also on Zhou Tianyang's side, but judging from the way they communicate this time, it's probably more than just exchanging resources. There is a high probability that after he revealed the news about the sect, Mr. Hu decided to make a bilateral bet and began to contact the forces in the Rogue Alliance.
"Senior Brother Hu."
Chen Luo smiled and raised his hand.
Hu Qiudao was a little embarrassed. This kind of private collusion with the enemy was not very honorable, and now he was caught by his junior brother. But Mr. Hu behind him responded with a smile.
In terms of face, Hu Qiudao is still too young.
In addition to the Hu family, there are three other parties. Two of them are immortal cultivating families like the Hu family, and they come from two surrounding small towns. The third party is a group of weirdos in black robes. Sitting at the front is an old man with a face as dry as a corpse. This guy has a fierce look on his face, and there are three corpse puppets exuding evil spirits standing behind him. At first glance, he is not a decent person. .
"We already know each other from the Hu family. They are all fellow disciples of our Immortal Sect, so no further introduction is needed."
Zhou Tianyang led him into the hall and introduced them one by one.
"This fairy is Fairy Guan Lin, the head of the Guan family in Xinhu City, and this venerable is Mingyue Dongxuan, the head of the Mingyue family in Xiangrui City." Several people responded with smiles when Zhou Tianyang introduced them.
Chen Luo also noticed that those who had seats were masters in the late stage of Qi refining, while juniors in the early and middle stages of Qi refining could only stand in the back.
When he reached the back, Zhou Tianyang spoke a little faster.
He simply mentioned the name of the Corpse-raising Sect, but didn't say the specific name.
"Hehe."
The Taoist Grim Reaper grinned, and his voice sounded like a demon. He looked Chen Luo up and down, as if he was very interested in him.
"Very good."
Chen Luo also smiled, but his eyes were on the three corpse puppets behind the Taoist Grim Reaper, especially the corpse puppet in the middle, the evil spirit on it could no longer be concealed, and there was a faint momentum of being promoted to the Iron Corpse.
"I'll sit next to this Taoist brother, we are destined to be together." After walking past the few people from the Corpse-raising Sect, Chen Luo suddenly stopped and pointed to the empty seat next to him.
This made Zhou Tianyang pause for a moment, but he reacted immediately.
"Whatever, everyone is communicating privately, sit wherever you want."
After that, Zhou Tianyang returned to the main seat.
"This is my fellow disciple from Xianmen, Junior Brother Chen Luo, who is also a late-stage Qi Refining expert. With Brother Chen joining us, the scale of our exchange meeting has expanded. If we continue to develop in this trend, we will definitely be able to exchange for more resources and gather more fellow practitioners in the future."
A group of people spoke up to welcome him.
How sincere they were, only they knew.
"Most of us are going to Xianmen, and we are not gathering together to do anything that is not good for Xianmen."
"What Brother Zhou said makes sense."
The old man from Mingyue family touched his goatee and said with emotion.
"The immortal sect is declining, and we gather together only to protect ourselves. Under the general trend, it is difficult for us to be independent cultivators!"
"What Fellow Daoist Mingyue said is exactly what I think. In the past two years, our government has decided to postpone the tax payment to the sect, and help the sect keep it for a period of time, and then pay it back after the sect recovers and stabilizes. This can also avoid being robbed by thieves during transportation, causing unnecessary losses."
As soon as this was said, it immediately attracted a lot of echoes, even the old man of the Hu family agreed.
Chen Luo sat in his seat and listened to their business boasting. They are all a group of thick-skinned old guys. Such empty words can only deceive young people like Hu Qiudao who have never seen the world. He didn't believe a word of it. In terms of shamelessness, he felt that this group of people was still a level lower than his third uncle. When he drank wine in the alley without paying, the open words he said were much better than this.
"This Taoist fellow seems to be very interested in my corpse refinement?"
The Taoist mummy on the left suddenly spoke to Chen Luo, his voice was extremely hoarse and sounded very harsh.
"This is the first time I have seen such a powerful corpse refinement, so I am inevitably curious." Chen Luo immediately lowered his posture and said sincerely.
"That's natural. I dug this corpse refinement out of an ancient ruins. At that time, I don't know how many resources I spent to refine it." When he mentioned his own corpse refinement, a trace of pride flashed across the face of the Taoist mummy.
He was most satisfied with his own corpse refinement. It has great potential and is likely to be upgraded to an iron corpse!
"Oh? It was dug out of an ancient ruins."
Chen Luo was even more interested.
If you touch the brain of a corpse puppet of this level, you should be able to read something valuable.
"Such a corpse refinement is really a treasure. I wonder if you can let me observe your corpse refinement up close. It would be even better if I can touch it." Chen Luo turned around and said to the Taoist mummy with a sincere face.
As soon as these words came out, the Taoist mummy was stunned.
You said...what?
The few black-clothed men standing behind the Taoist Mummy were also dumbfounded.
Touching corpse puppets?
This was the first time they had heard of such a special hobby.
"Not impossible." The Taoist Mummy's eyes changed when he looked at Chen Luo.
This kid seemed to be even more perverted than him.
"Thank you very much, Taoist friend." Chen Luo immediately stood up and stretched out his hand to touch the corpse behind the Taoist Mummy.
"Wait."
The Taoist Mummy stopped Chen Luo.
"I am also very interested in the ancient method of burying corpses. I wonder if Taoist friends can teach me."
Burying corpses?
Ancient method?
Chen Luo also paused.
But he quickly reacted, and without saying anything, he immediately patted his chest to guarantee it.
"No problem."
Uncle San's craftsmanship really needs to be carried forward. It's rare to meet someone interested, so of course we need to communicate more.
So Chen Luo took out a blank spiritual tablet in front of the Taoist Mummy and wrote down the craftsmanship of burying corpses on it. The precautions and props to be prepared were clearly written.
"Open!"
The Taoist took the spiritual scroll and took a look, and immediately confirmed the authenticity of the content. So he waved his hand, and the corpse behind him took the initiative to move forward and approached Chen Luo's hand.
The cold evil spirit approached, causing the surrounding temperature to drop a few degrees.
After removing the cover, Chen Luo could clearly sense the chill on the corpse. The eyes under the black hair were like those of a beast, emitting bloodthirsty coldness. The evil spirit was like a steel needle, piercing his palms numb.
Chen Luo moved the spiritual energy to the palm of his hand, shielded the evil spirit, stretched out his palm, and pressed it towards the head of the corpse.
'Contacted the brain waves of the dead, the damage degree is 99%, do you want to read it. '
"Read!"
Seeing the familiar feedback, Chen Luo chose to read it without saying a word.
