I Borrowed a Brain from the Almighty

Master Wuwei is still practicing in the temple. Every time he comes in, Chen Luo can feel the ocean-like aura of Master Wuwei. He was very curious as to whether this master had ever gone out besides practicing.

Of course, this idea was just in my head.

As the peak master of the Shenhu Immortal Sect and a strong man in the foundation-building stage, the other party must have his own circle, but he, a qi training disciple, cannot come into contact with it. Just like the master in the academy, he always has a rigid and serious image in front of the students.

"I already know everything."

Master Wuwei opened his eyes and saw him extending his hand casually.

Two jade slips flew out from the nearby bookshelf and automatically fell into the hands of Chen Luo and Fang Shan.

"This is the reward for your mission."

"Didn't you choose it yourself?" Fang Shan looked at the jade slip in his hand and couldn't help but ask.

This is not what I said when I accepted the mission before.

But Master Wuwei obviously had no intention of explaining to them.

After handing out the things, he began to practice. As he practiced, the aura of the 'inner demon' in the temple gradually became stronger. When Chen Luo and Fang Shan saw this, they could only retreat.

"It's a big loss. If I had known it was this kind of reward, why would I take the risk?"

Fang Shan stood at the door and looked at the jade slip in his hand, with a sad look on his face.

The jade slip records the 'Spiritual Ginseng Planting Technique', and the jade slip in Chen Luo's hand records the 'Fire Control Technique'. Both are knowledge related to alchemy.

Just like the mission said, it is the knowledge of Yaowang Peak.

It's just that this kind of knowledge is not what Fang Shan wants at all. He will go down the mountain next year. This time he ventured to do a joint mission because he wanted to earn some resources that could be used to break through the realm. As a result, as soon as I got busy, I was awarded a book called 'Spiritual Ginseng Planting Technique', which was worthless except for resale.

"It's better to be open-minded than to fail the mission."

Chen Luo comforted him.

They were a little reluctant to complete the mission this time, and it was pretty good to get these benefits.

"Knowledge related to alchemy can also be used to sell Shao Lingshi. If you resell it, you can get a lot of resources."

"Spiritual ginseng planting technique is the knowledge of spiritual farmers, and it is not as good as the fire control technique in your hand."

Fang Shan has also accepted the reality.

It can be seen from the attitude of Master Wuwei that this master does not think highly of him. Otherwise, Chen Luo would not be given the fire control technique or the spiritual ginseng planting technique.

"I wish I had your qualifications."

A trace of envy flashed in Fang Shan's eyes.

In less than a year, I have reached the sixth level of Qi refining. I can look forward to building the foundation and looking forward to the path to immortality!

"I only have three spiritual roots. There are countless people in the sect who are stronger than me." Chen Luo replied silently. Only he knew about his situation.

"I'm just saying casually that the most important thing in alchemy is pharmacology. Identifying the medicinal properties of various spiritual materials is what makes them valuable." After a few more complaints, Fang Shan said goodbye to Chen Luo.

Chen Luo returned to the Houshan Cemetery alone.

After the tombkeeper brother left, this place was quite clean.

Sitting in the room, Chen Luo's heart finally calmed down, and he began to review the experience of going down the mountain.

"This mission is a bit risky."

Chen Luo's original plan was to follow the team down the mountain to gain some experience, and then come back in exchange for magical powers from other main peaks. As a result, the mission went awry, and the reward became Yao Wangfeng's fire control technique.

"On the path of spiritual practice, you should keep your true heart and not be influenced by external things."

"This time I was deceived by the reward of the mission and ignored the danger behind it. This is not a rational approach, so be careful in the future."

After secretly warning himself, Chen Luo began to recall the several battles he encountered during the mission.

The first time was the battle between Chu Hongye, the senior sister of Gu Wangfeng, and Baoyue Witch from Nine Poison Valley. When the two fought, the field was almost completely filled with Gu insects and poisonous insects. It is completely different from the straight-forward fighting of warriors.

The second time was the battle between Xianhe Chengfeng and Iron Corpse of the Corpse-raising Sect, in the foundation-building period.

After the foundation is established, the power of competition becomes supernatural power and mana. The monks in the Qi refining stage have almost no power to fight back against the foundation-building monks, which is a fighting method of mana suppression.

The last time was the scene where Chen Luo killed Jie Xiu himself.

Having improved the Divine Soul Technique in advance, he killed the robbery cultivator with an absolute advantage. From the beginning to the end, the opponent did not even touch him. It can be said that he maximized the advantage of the Wu Dao Peak technique.

"The direction of the divine soul technique is right, the only thing missing is the defense."

Thinking of the bats and spiders controlled by Baoyue Witch, he still couldn't think of any good way to deal with them.

There were too many, and with his spiritual power, he couldn't hold them for long.

"Cultivating another defensive magical power is a bit of a distraction. It's better to give priority to improving your realm and solve this problem after building the foundation. Your strength will be different, and you will definitely have many more choices."

The most important thing in cultivation is the state of cultivation.

After figuring this out, Chen Luo put the issue aside.

After the foundation is built, we can solve this problem again. Maybe there will be a more perfect solution by then.

Picking up the fire control technique he obtained from Master Wuwei, he expertly poured spiritual power into it, and he quickly mastered the relevant knowledge.

More than a dozen of the external brains gave feedback this time, and there were many who had learned fire control techniques during their lifetimes.

People who yearn for immortality have more or less come into contact with knowledge related to alchemy.

Who doesn’t have the dream of being an alchemist?

"It's time to start getting into alchemy. With the help of elixirs, you can go further in your practice."

When others learn alchemy, they may have to consider qualifications and consumption, but Chen Luo doesn't need to worry about these things at all. Among the external brains he collected, several were junior alchemists. High-level elixirs cannot be refined, but some low-level elixirs such as Qi and Blood Pills are still easy to refine. It's because these brains are so incomplete that he must learn the missing knowledge before he can use it.

By the time Chen Luo finished summing up what he had gained from going down the mountain, it was already dark outside.

The cemetery is especially quiet after dark.

In the past, there was the snoring of the tomb guard brother, but now there is nothing, it is so quiet that not even the sound of insects can be heard.

"We have just broken through the sixth level of Qi Refining. Let's go outside and turn over the soil for our seniors."

Chen Luo walked to the cabinet next to him, took out a shovel and deerskin gloves, turned around and went to the cemetery.

With a lantern in one hand and a shovel in the other, his movements are already extremely skillful.

The craftsmanship passed down to him by his third uncle has not fallen behind at all.

Half an hour later.

Chen Luo filled the soil and buried the grave, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. The number of external brains he controlled now reached one hundred and twenty, and his thinking during practice became sharper.

"The next step is to find opportunities to break through the late stage of Qi refining."

Chen Luo's current cultivation has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. On the Enlightenment Peak, there are many people on the sixth level of Qi Refining, but the seventh level of Qi Refining is different. There are only a few people in the entire Enlightenment Peak. From this step on, the gap caused by the qualifications for cultivating immortals will be further widened.

Chen Luo's three spiritual roots also felt some pressure, but it was still within an acceptable range.

"I have finished learning the 'Shen Enlightenment Technique', and have memorized it in my mind from the first to the thirteenth level. The only thing left is to refine the spiritual energy."

Chen Luo sensed the amount of spiritual energy in his body.

When he broke through to the sixth level of Qi refining, the number of spiritual snakes in his body reached nine. But after reaching this point, the number of spiritual snakes no longer increases, and the number 'nine' seems to be the ultimate. This number must be exceeded to reach the later stage of Qi refining.

"It takes a hundred spiritual snakes to attack the foundation. This gap is too big."

Chen Luo tried to perform a dust removal technique.

The spiritual energy dispersed, quickly clearing away all impurities in the room. The spiritual energy in the body has not been consumed much. The sixth level of Qi Refining can be regarded as the leading group among the disciples of Enlightenment Peak. They can apply for some positions on the mountain, such as Huang BuTong who releases tasks and Hu Qiudao who receives newcomers.

Holding the impurity ball in his hand, Chen Luo began to think about ways to break through the realm.

Kung Fu is dead, and breakthroughs cannot be achieved by following a script. If it were that easy, there wouldn't be so few foundation-building monks.

"If I continue at this pace of cultivation, I will reach the limit of the sixth level of Qi refining in half a month at most."

The effect of spiritual ginseng is very good. As an elixir in the late stage of Qi refining, it is worth a thousand spiritual stones. After complete digestion, it can save Chen Luo three or four months of time.

But the effect of spiritual ginseng only goes so far.

Most of the elixirs in the Qi refining stage only have the effect of increasing spiritual power. More advanced spiritual materials cannot be purchased with a thousand spiritual stones. Any plant is auctioned in units of ‘ten thousand’. The elixirs related to foundation building are even more expensive and have no market. The occasional ones that are circulated are quickly bought by others, or they are traded in higher circles.

"The first step is to get the number of aura snakes to ten."

Chen Luo recalled the content of the seventh level of the God Enlightenment Technique.

The beginning of the article talks about how to refine the spiritual energy more effectively after the amount of spiritual energy is sufficient. There is only one sentence mentioned in the technique about how to achieve this 'satisfactory quantity'.

‘Refining Qi with perseverance and eating the essence of the sun and moon can enter the later stage of Qi refining. ’

This is nonsense.

It's also true. Those older Qi practitioners outside who are late stage Qi practitioners have spent time honing their skills in this way, and there is no hope of building a foundation in their lifetime.

Chen Luo would definitely not use this method, unless he wanted to go down the mountain and become a rich man like the tomb guard.

‘Extracting the essence blood of monsters and purifying it can perfectly enter the later stage of Qi refining, directly entering the ninth level of Qi refining. ’

‘Using the marrow extraction method to take away other people’s spiritual power can also break through the current state. ’

The mummy brain in his mind suddenly fed back two messages. I don’t know if the increase in the number of external brains allowed the mummy’s brain to regain some of its activity, and it suddenly came back to life.

Chen Luo tried to activate the two foundation-building brains again, and received feedback quickly.

‘Use the Spirit Gathering Pill to break through. ’

‘Eating dill flowers can lead to breakthroughs. ’

These two methods should be the methods used by the two foundation-building elders during their lifetime.

When Chen Luo further asked them how to refine the Spirit Gathering Pill and where the Zhuyang Flower grew, they all had no response.

Incomprehensible.

Knowledge is lacking, and being able to recall names is a remnant of his lifetime.

Of the four options, the two provided by the mummy brain were too far away.

The first option of using the essence blood of monsters is very good. There is a monster on their Enlightenment Peak. The cranes on the front mountain ride on the wind, the presence of the masters and uncles. With such a small body, if he goes to extract the essence and blood of an opponent, he will most likely not even know how he died. Not to mention the second type, I don’t know what the marrow extraction method is or where I learned it, let alone use this magical power to seize other people’s spiritual power.

The most reliable method is the method given by the two elders of Shenhu Immortal Sect.

"You can try to find out more about the Spirit Gathering Pill and Zhu Yanghua. You can also ask Junior Sister Huang Ying to inquire about it."

Chen Luo was thinking about possible solutions.

"I'd better take this opportunity to learn alchemy. Anyway, I'll be refining the foundation-building elixir in the future."

After weighing for a moment, Chen Luo made a decision.

I'll go find Junior Sister Huang Ying to get a pill furnace tomorrow morning!
