I Borrowed a Brain from the Almighty

In the two months since Mrs. Bones left, Gu Demon Mountain has been calm.

The perfect foundation-building strongman who was repelled by them before did not come back, and he most likely gave up on this place. For Chen Luo, this place was originally picked up. If he can defend it, he will defend it, and if he can't, he will leave. People are alive, and resources serve themselves. Working hard for resources is putting the cart before the horse.

But Chen Luo didn't expect that the calm would be broken so quickly.

In the third month, a small family came to seek refuge.

This family is not big. The strongest member of the family is in the late stage of Qi refining. There are only three qualified clan members left. Other than that, they are all ordinary guards who have learned martial arts and do not even have spiritual roots. In the world of cultivating immortals, there are countless small families like this. Chen Luo originally planned to drive them away directly, but to his surprise, the head of the family came up with a good thing, a strange insect egg.

For the sake of this gift, Chen Luo took in this small family and allowed them to live on the edge of Gu Demon Mountain.

With the first family to surrender, there will soon be a second and a third.

Most of these families were driven away by Chen Luo, and only a few were left behind by him.

In this way, more and more families gathered together. After half a year, there were thirteen families who had defected to Gu Demon Mountain.

The gathering of immortal cultivating families brought more mortals, and these people built residences around these families in the mountain villages further down the Gu Demon Mountain.

The small mountain village that Chen Luo had seen before slowly developed into a large-scale town with the arrival of these people.

A new alliance was also formed among the thirteen cultivating families. They took refuge in Chen Luo's name and opened the Gu Demon Shanfang City to exchange some Qi Refining Realm resources. Chen Luo was like a passer-by, watching all this silently on the mountain.

He also didn't expect that one of his thoughts would create such a force. Only then did he understand the influence of a foundation-building monk. A foundation-building monk who had occupied the spiritual veins had an influence beyond imagination.

Just like that, another half year passed.

Chen Luo is in his sixteenth year of practice.

Sitting on the top of the mountain, Chen Luo's aura became even deeper. After Madam White Bones left, the entire Gu Demon Mountain belonged to him alone, and he had exclusive access to the second-level spiritual veins. This was something that even the masters of the Shenhu Immortal Sect could not match. treatment.

Although the spiritual vein problem was solved, the resource problem followed.

Chen Luo is not like the sect leader of the Shenhu Immortal Sect, who has a powerful sect under his command to provide him with resources. The immortal cultivating families he is currently protecting are all in the Qi Refining Realm. There are not many strong people in the late stage of Qi refining, let alone masters who have perfected Qi refining. The resources that affiliated forces at this level can hand over to Chen Luo are very limited. Most of them are spiritual materials from the Qi Refining Realm, which is not of much help to Chen Luo now.

That is to say, use it to refine some elixirs and exchange them for some spiritual stones.

As time went by, the spiritual materials accumulated in Chen Luo's hands were quickly consumed, and some of the elixirs used to assist daily practice were slowly exhausted. In the past half month, he had rarely taken elixirs.

Without the elixir, the speed of practice has naturally dropped a lot.

The weather was getting colder, and heavy snow fell from the sky.

Chen Luo was like a stone statue, letting snowflakes fall and cover his body. The 'Black Stone Secret Technique' was repeating over and over again in his mind. After superimposing the Inner Demon Technique, the Black Stone Secret Technique is no longer just a simple 'divine consciousness secret technique'. After superimposing the two, Chen Luo saw some things that ordinary people could not see.

Some special energy floating between heaven and earth.

Increasing spiritual consciousness has become the most inconspicuous method.

Chen Luo opened his eyes and looked through the sea of ​​clouds to the town at the foot of the mountain. This small mountain village a year ago has changed a lot. There are more people living here, and it has a fireworks atmosphere.

Wherever there are people, there are desires, and where there are desires, there are those special energies.

Chen Luo saw a kind man who had just moved to the town. He was giving porridge at the door, and everyone was praising him for his kindness. But in Chen Luo's eyes, a large number of special energy particles gathered around this good man, and there seemed to be a vague emotion flowing around him.

‘Inner Demon Secret’

Chen Luo withdrew his gaze and recalled the scene of Master Wuwei practicing in the Immortal Sect of Shenhu Lake.

The paintings hanging in the training room were not painted by famous artists, but were the means of catharsis found by Master Wuwei in order to balance this power. Unlike him, Master Wuwei did not practice the 'Black Stone Secret Technique'. His practice method in the later stage of foundation building was created by himself. The method of digesting and utilizing this special energy is naturally different from Chen Luo.

'If you want to achieve great success in the Black Stone Secret Technique quickly, apart from taking time, the most direct way is to use Yun Shen Dan to speed up your practice. ’

Elder An gave Chen Luo a lot of help. Whether it was the spiritual stones and medicinal materials he had accumulated during his lifetime, or the three elixirs in his obsession, they all helped Chen Luo save a lot of time. It can be said that among the 'noble people' Chen Luo has met, Elder An ranks among the top five!

‘The resource problem must be solved as soon as possible, and practice should not be delayed because of such things. ’

While thinking about the method, Chen Luo suddenly felt a familiar breath.

At the foot of the Gu Demon Mountain, an old man in green clothes was walking towards the mountain with a woman.

The old man leading the way was the first one, the patriarch of the Immortal Cultivation Family who defected to Chen Luo. The woman behind him was an acquaintance of Chen Luo.

Fox girl Su Linlin.

Chen Luo recognized this woman at a glance. The main materials for refining the Jade Bone Pill were given by this woman. He originally wanted someone to contact her to see if he could buy some new blood chalcedony, but he didn't expect her. He came to the door himself.

Head Sun led the people to the outside of the formation with a nervous look on his face. Before he could speak, he heard a voice coming from inside.

"Bring people in."

After confirming that Su Linlin really knew Chen Luo, the head of the Sun family breathed a sigh of relief. After sending the person inside, he went down the mountain in a wise manner.

"I didn't expect to meet senior here. It seems that my ancestor was right. Senior and I are destined."

Su Linlin was still the same as before, always with a smile on her face. After seeing Chen Luo, she even made a joke.

Chen Luo looked at Su Linlin and immediately noticed this woman's cultivation level with his spiritual consciousness.

"Foundation established?"

When I first saw her, Su Linlin was still in the Qi Refining Stage. I didn't expect that after not seeing her for several years, this girl would actually reach the Foundation Building Stage. Although he has just advanced, this step has surpassed that of most immortal cultivators. This is the benefit of relying on a wealthy family. When Chen Luo relied on the Shenhu Immortal Sect, he also received similar treatment.

"I just advanced three days ago. I originally planned to return to my ancestral land, but I didn't expect to encounter some troubles on the way."

"trouble?"

Chen Luo frowned slightly.

"I just encountered some trivial matters and need to rest for two days. These two days will not be used to take advantage of seniors." Su Linlin did not elaborate, but changed the subject after mentioning it.

"Senior occupied Gu Demon Mountain, so there shouldn't be any foundation-building channels to inherit from senior Han Jiu, right? The spiritual materials needed for the foundation-building realm will only circulate in specific places."

As soon as she said these words, Chen Luo heard that there was a problem. This woman came here just for him, and the trouble she mentioned was most likely due to the replacement of Gu Demon Peak.

However, what this woman said is not wrong. He really does not have the channel to build the foundation stage now.

"Do you have a solution?"

"There is a sect going west, called the Qionghua Sect. This sect is the overlord of the entire southwest region. Ninety percent of the high-level spiritual materials in Blackstone City come from the Qionghua Sect. The spiritual materials that Senior Han Jiu needed in the past are also They are all bought from Qionghua Pai.”

At this point, Su Linlin changed the subject.

"However, the Qionghua Sect has a long way to go. It would take at least three years to reach it just by flying with the swords of the foundation-building monks. There are still many dangerous places on the way."

"I understand, please make a price."

Chen Luo heard the meaning behind the other party's words. The base-building channel for Gu Demon Han Jiu was their Fox Clan!

"It's still the same as before. What do you think, senior?"

Su Linlin didn't ask for high prices, they also had their own rules.

While the two were talking, a breath appeared again outside the Gu Demon Mountain. The aura this time was much more urgent than when Su Linlin went up the mountain. Chen Luo sensed it with his spiritual consciousness, and then set his eyes on Su Linlin.

"your friend?"

"do not know."

Su Linlin immediately expressed her stance.

"Friend Daoist Han, save me"

The news about the man in the air was lagging behind a bit, and he hadn't even heard about Han Jiu's death yet. He flew over eagerly, apparently preparing to seek Han Jiu's help.

Behind this person, Chen Luo saw three black demonic auras, and inside were three flying rats with black fur.

Gu King Peak is located directly north of Black Rock City, close to the mountains to the north. Mrs. Bones told him about the situation there before when she was still there. On the other side of the mountain is the territory of the demon clan. Human immortal cultivators rarely set foot there. The demon cultivators inside are not friendly to humans. Entering there can easily cause conflicts.

Su Linlin took a step back, with no intention of interfering at all.

"Then it's okay. He's looking for Senior Han."

Chen Luo withdrew his gaze, showing no intention of intervening.

"Still not taking action!! Old Ghost Han, do you want to eat alone?"

The man who was flying did not expect that there would be no response from the mountain. In his expectation, Han Jiu would definitely help him after entering Gu Demon Mountain. This was what he had promised from the beginning.

The three flying rats behind him became faster, and one of them drew an arc in the air, trying to block the fleeing man.

But this man also became fierce, a burst of blood appeared on his body, his speed suddenly increased to the limit, and he crashed straight towards the Gu Demon Mountain.

'You want to stand by and watch? Then I will drag you into the water! ’

Chen Luo frowned. He didn't know what the relationship between this man and Han Jiu was, and he didn't know what messy things were involved behind the scenes. He just simply didn't want to take the blame for Brother Han.

He raised his hand and stirred his index finger in front of him like water.

A circle of translucent ripples slid along his fingertips and slowly spread outside.
