Chapter 337 Five Elements Academy
Chen Luo gave Madam Hong and the other three a task, asking them to help him collect alchemy resources and find some special brains. It is no longer limited to cultivation, but ability, focusing on finding those who were brilliant in their lifetime and died young. With the current level of cultivation, it is unrealistic to imagine that you can find brains in large quantities as before. Jindan cultivators are not cabbages. If all brains are limited to Jindan realm, it may take hundreds of years to collect the upper limit.
The number of brains of the four arts of cultivation becomes extremely rare from the third level.
Especially the number of array masters, which is pitifully small. Every array master above the third level is a mysterious figure, and it is difficult to find their remains. Chen Luo used the channels of Qionghua Sect to collect a batch before. The brains that are relatively easy to find on the surface have been obtained, and the rest are difficult to get. In this case, you have to consider the growable brains. Chen Luo now has several brains that are more commonly used, all of which are grown, such as the leader of the Seed Demon Sect and the two brothers Wang Mingyi and Wang Mingde.
The brain with high integrity should be used.
"If you perform well this time, I will take you to join the Qionghua Sect when I come back." Chen Luo gave the three people a hope.
Chen Luo was very clear about why the three people joined him.
The Yuanying-level forces have unparalleled attraction for the casual cultivators outside, and the most important of them is the Yuanying inheritance. During the practice, casual cultivators and practitioners of small forces have to explore many paths by themselves. If they guessed right, it would be fine. Once they took the wrong path, dozens or hundreds of years of time would be wasted. For the foundation-building cultivators, a wrong path that took a hundred years means that there is no hope of forming a pill in this life, and Mrs. Bai Gu is such an example.
The white bone method she practiced requires the fusion of the Rakshasa bone to form a pill. This promotion condition directly pitted her to death. There are countless similar casual cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation. Some unlucky people entered the Tao by digging up ancient cultivation methods. The materials needed for foundation building have long been extinct in the current world of immortal cultivation. Practicing this kind of method, even if you are extremely talented, you can't build a foundation. The tolerance rate of the Qi Refining Realm is even lower. The life span of more than a hundred years gives them very few choices to make. One decision determines life and death. In this context, a force with a Nascent Soul-level inheritance is particularly precious.
"Yes."
The three people showed a hint of joy on their faces.
Following Chen Luo to a distant place, isn't it for this promise?
After arranging the three people, Chen Luo met with a few registered disciples again, roughly checked some of the five people's practice and the tasks completed in recent years, and sent them away. It took three days to deal with these trivial matters.
Three days later, Chen Luo's figure turned into a stream of light and flew towards the location of the demon clan in the north.
Half a day later, Chen Luo came to the border mountain.
The last time he came here with Su Linlin, the two landed here and went through the inspection checkpoint of the Peng Bird Demon Clan, but this time Chen Luo directly ignored the foundation-building demon cultivator below and flew over his head openly.
The breath of the Jindan cultivator swept across.
After sensing his aura, the Peng bird demon cultivator guarding the border shrank his head to the ground and did not dare to say a word. The strength of the middle stage of the Jindan is already the strongest in the Tiannan domain. Apart from the Yuanying old monsters of the four top sects, he is the strongest one, and he is completely fearless.
After passing the border mountain, Chen Luo flew down from the sky with a group of aura.
This time, the speed of coming over was several times faster than the last time.
After weighing the fox clan's request for help, Chen Luo decided to come over after weighing it again and again. The other party used Su Linlin's name, so he had to come over anyway. It happened that he had a breakthrough in his cultivation this time, so he could go to Fox Mountain to worship the ancestors of the fox clan. I believe that this time, the old lady Hu will definitely feel his "sincerity" and there is no reason to refuse him again.
The huge Fox Mountain is still the same as the last time I saw it.
The neck of the mountain is hidden in the clouds, and the lower part of the mountain is covered with lush trees. These plants all have fiery red leaves, which look like the hair on a fox from a distance, which is very spectacular.
Chen Luo did not force his way in. The fox tribe is different from other places. Su Linlin once mentioned that the ancestral land of their tribe is Tushan. Until now, Chen Luo has not seen the so-called Tushan. From this point, we can also indirectly infer the foundation of the fox tribe. Facing this kind of ancient power, Chen Luo has always been very reasonable.
When he fell to the foot of the mountain, Chen Luo saw a desolate town.
This is the town that the fox tribe must pass through to enter the mountain. Without the guidance of the fox tribe, they must take this road. Going up the mountain from other places will trigger the restrictions on Fox Mountain. These are what Su Linlin and Chen Luo said before.
"Are you going up the mountain, guest?"
Walking into an inn, a smiling girl came up to greet him.
"Puppet?"
Chen Luo stopped and looked up and down at the girl in front of him. The man had a smile on his face, and his expression showed no displeasure, as if he had long been accustomed to such gazes. This was also the first time that Chen Luo had seen such an exquisite puppet, which looked almost the same as a living person.
"The passage to the mountain has been closed today. If guests want to go up the mountain, they need to rest here for one night."
The puppet girl still had a smile on her face. Perhaps the person behind her sensed Chen Luo's cultivation level, so she sent a puppet to receive him. He had noticed that no one would take care of the cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm. They had to go into the store and pay the spirit stones to exchange for a resting room. With Chen Luo, this process was completely waived. Not only did he not have to pay the room fee, but he also had a special puppet to receive him.
"Why is the passage closed so early?"
Chen Luo glanced at the setting sun and asked with a frown.
"Please forgive me, senior. It was the adults of the fox tribe on the mountain who closed the passage. We can't do anything about it." The puppet girl apologized immediately.
Seeing this, Chen Luo didn't ask any more questions and followed the girl into the inner courtyard.
As a Jindan cultivator, he lived in an independent courtyard.
Walking through the passage of the courtyard, Chen Luo spread his consciousness. He found that there were three Jindan cultivators besides him, one of whom was the 'Senior Gu' he had met before. When he first met this person, she was walking with Granny Hu, which left a deep impression on Chen Luo.
That was also the first time he saw a real Jindan cultivator.
However, Senior Gu obviously had no impression of Chen Luo. After a simple glance at him, he continued to close his eyes and rest. The remaining two people were a man and a woman. Chen Luo had no impression of either of them. Judging from the vicissitudes of life on each other, they should be old monsters who have lived for seven or eight hundred years.
Any Jindan cultivator is not simple.
The same is true for Yu Lian Zhenren and Black Horn King who were killed by Chen Luo. If Chen Luo did not have many means and happened to have a way to restrain them, it would be very difficult to kill them head-on.
"This is the senior's yard. We have prepared spiritual wine and spiritual fruits in it, as well as some books for the senior to entertain. If the senior has other needs, you can also tell me and I will ask someone to prepare them."
The puppet girl took Chen Luo to the fifth yard on the left hand side.
There was a word "earth" written on the door.
The yards here are divided according to gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the fifth yard corresponds to earth. Chen Luo stopped at the door and looked back at the four courtyards in front.
Gold, Wood, Water, Fire.
Senior Gu and the remaining two people lived in the three courtyards of Gold, Wood, and Water. Who lived in the fourth courtyard? If the fourth courtyard was empty, why was he arranged to live in the fifth courtyard?
"Who lives in the courtyard next to it?"
Chen Luo asked directly. He didn't like to beat around the bush or follow other people's arrangements.
"No one lives in the Fire Courtyard. The previous guest who lived here just left. There is still some mess inside. Some specific spiritual fruits need time to replenish, so I led the senior to the 'Earth Courtyard'. If the senior wants to live in the Fire Courtyard, you can wait for a while. We will come to invite you after we replenish the spiritual fruits." The puppet girl immediately lowered her head and replied, and the smile on her face did not change.
Chen Luo ignored the puppet and spread his consciousness to scan the courtyard next to it.
It was found that it was exactly as the girl said. Tables, chairs and benches were scattered all over the floor, and the fruit and fruit plates were empty. The wine pot even fell into the fish pond. The debris can be cleaned with dust removal, but it will take time to replenish the supplies.
"No need."
Retracting his spiritual sense, Chen Luo pushed the door and walked into the Tuzi Courtyard.
He had just used his spiritual sense to observe. There was no suspicious place around, and there was no one who could threaten him. I think he was overthinking. He was not afraid of the Hu Granny from Fox Mountain, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan, not to mention the little monsters below.
"If the guests need anything, please notify me at any time."
The puppet girl saw Chen Luo walk into the yard, and then she slowly retreated to the door and stretched out her hand to close the door.
"Do you have any books on puppetry? Find some and let me see." Chen Luo's voice came, interrupting the girl's action.
He was still very interested in the puppet girl's exquisite puppets. When he was in the Qi Refining Realm, he also obtained a puppetry, but he did not study it at that time. Now that he has reached the Jindan stage, he can also try to study these things.
In many cases, puppets are more useful than people.
"Please wait a moment."
The puppet girl nodded and then retreated.
Chen Luo looked around. The layout of this place was very elegant, with a pool pavilion, rockery and wind. Someone in the courtyard used a formation to specially arrange a small spirit gathering formation, making the air here fresher than outside. The wine and fruits on the table were also very sweet and exuded an attractive smell. Although they were not top-grade spiritual materials, they were also good things in the Qi Refining Realm. They could be sold for a lot of spiritual stones in the market.
Putting them here for free for people to eat also shows the inn's respect for the Jindan cultivators. (End of this chapter)
