Chapter 83 Paying Homage to the Elder

After accepting the task of assisting Sister Shen in drawing talismans, Chen Luo did not stay at the main peak and returned to the cemetery early.

The senior brother who guarded the tomb drank too much last night and did not go out all day today. He was still sleeping in the house, and his snoring was deafening.

He had asked last night that after surviving this year, this senior brother would be ready to go down the mountain. After five years of persistence on the mountain, he still could not break through to the late stage of Qi Refining. Seeing that he was getting older, some illusory thoughts were put down.

Night fell.

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

"Southwest direction, the ninth pit in the third row."

Chen Luo recalled the location that the senior brother who guarded the tomb told him yesterday.

He had stepped on the spot last night.

There was no one else in the cemetery except the senior brother who guarded the tomb at night, especially at night, not even a bird could be seen.

Soon, Chen Luo found the tomb that the senior brother who guarded the tomb mentioned in a low weed pile.

The tombstone was tattered, with a missing corner, and the words on it were soaked by rain and invisible. I don't know how many years have passed since he died, 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 of the grave-keeping brother, Chen Luo would have thought that this was just a small mound that was forgotten to be cleaned.

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

Time is the most ruthless.

Even a foundation-building cultivator will be forgotten after death. In another hundred years, when the grave-keeping brother is gone, who in the world will know that a foundation-building immortal cultivator is buried here?

"I didn't expect that after joining the immortal sect, I would have to go back to my old business."

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 simply distinguishing the burial location of the bones, he swung the shovel.

He dug with a 'grunt'.

Bang!

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

He dug the soil and found that the shovel had dug into the bones. A dignified foundation-building cultivator didn't even have a coffin.

His shovel dug right on the top of the skull, which meant that the skull of a foundation-building cultivator was relatively hard, otherwise the bones would have been broken by this shovel.

'No poison. '

The experience of burying corpses learned from his uncle worked.

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

He reached out to grab the skull.

'Contacted the brain waves of the dead, the damage was 96%, do you want to read it? '

The familiar information appeared, and Chen Luo was refreshed, and chose to read it without saying a word.

"Read!"

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

"It really works!"

Chen Luo was refreshed, looking at the skull in his hand with emotion. He didn't expect the plan to be completed so smoothly, picking up the brain of a foundation-building cultivator for free.

"Junior brother?"

A voice suddenly sounded.

Chen Luo, who was still immersed in joy, froze for a moment. He turned around and found that the grave-keeping senior brother had appeared behind him at some point, holding a fresh pheasant in his hand.

Wasn't he still sleeping in the house before?

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

Looking at Chen Luo holding the elder's skull in his hand, the grave-keeping senior brother who had just returned from hunting was numb.

I thought an honest and obedient junior brother had come, but I didn't expect that he was actually a fellow cultivator!

No wonder he chose to accept the grave-keeping mission.

With this hobby, without the grave-keeping mission as a cover, he would definitely be chopped into pieces by the law enforcement disciples.

"Senior brother, I actually want to give the elder a bath. Do you believe it? The old man has been buried alone for so many years, lonely and helpless." Chen Luo didn't expect that the grave-keeping senior brother would be so coincidental and come out just when he was digging the grave.

Is this guy usually a night owl?

"I believe it!"

The grave-keeping brother nodded seriously.

But the expression on his face was not right, and the suspicion of "do you think I'm stupid" was almost written on his face.

"But you should not hold too much hope, these two elders are very poor."

"How did you know? ! '

Chen Luo looked dazed.

The grave-keeping brother's expression changed suddenly.

"No more talking, you continue to weed."

The grave-keeping brother looked like an experienced person, patted Chen Luo on the shoulder, and then took the roast chicken he caught 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 didn't expect the grave-keeping brother to have such an attitude. But in this way, he could work freely. As long as the grave mound was filled before dawn.

After confirming that there was no danger, Chen Luo no longer acted sneakily like he did at the beginning.

The speed of swinging the shovel increased a lot.

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

Chen Luo skillfully pressed his hand on the skull, absorbed the brain waves and then filled the elder's skull back.

Harvesting the brains of two foundation building immortals in one night made Chen Luo feel "full". He rubbed his drowsy brain, gave up the brains of those unqualified Jianghu people, and then started a new round of grave digging.

Without the foundation building elder, the late Qi refining elders could not be spared.

"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 his original one.

Time passed, and half a month passed in a flash.

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, he 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 been digging 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 'God 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 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 middle-level 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 that was unrestrained. 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 Shenhu Immortal Sect, 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 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 the task of sweeping the tomb, 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.

With his few mission points, he exchanged a total of five dust-removing talisman materials. The production of two was considered to be 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, Fu An and the others. 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.

When he took out the talisman to sell, he had no intention 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 so long, they are no longer the rookies they were at the beginning.

He knows the value of the four arts of cultivation better than anyone else, especially among the casual cultivators of the Three Kingdoms. Any one of the four arts of cultivation can cause a war. The same is true for the way of talismans. You can find talismans, resources and even talented people. What is really difficult is inheritance.

The technique of infusing spirits is the core of the way of talismans.

"No comment."

Chen Luo glanced at Fu An and ignored the question.

The technique of infusing spirits was improved by Chen Luo himself using the knowledge of immortal texts taught by Chang Qing Zhenren. When Chang Qing Zhenren taught him immortal texts in the Yue Kingdom Tomb, he once said that immortal texts can transform spiritual energy into real and usable power, which can be used in talismans, formations, and refining equipment. It can be said to be mysterious and useless.
