Chapter 97 Four Options

Zhen Wuwei was still practicing in the hall. Every time he came in, Chen Luo could feel the ocean-like aura on him. He was very curious whether this master had ever gone out except for practicing.

Of course, this idea was just in his mind.

As the peak master of Shenhu Xianmen and a strong man in the foundation-building stage, he must have his own circle, but he, a Qi training disciple, could not get in touch with it. Just like the teachers in the academy, they always have a solemn and old-fashioned image in front of students.

"I already know everything."

Zhen Wuwei opened his eyes and saw him stretch out his hand.

Two jade slips flew out from the bookshelf next to him 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 asking.

This was not what he said when he accepted the mission before.

But Zhen Wuwei obviously didn't mean to explain it to them.

After distributing the things, he began to practice. As he practiced, the aura of the "heart demon" in the hall gradually became stronger. Seeing this, Chen Luo and Fang Shan could only retreat.

"It's a big loss. If I had known that this kind of reward would be given, why would I take this risk?"

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

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

Just as the task said, it is the knowledge of Yaowang Peak.

But this kind of knowledge is not what Fang Shan wants at all. He will go down the mountain next year, and this time he took the risk to do the joint task, and he also wanted to earn some resources that can be used to break through the realm. As a result, after all the busy work, he was rewarded with a copy of 'Spiritual Ginseng Planting Technique', which is worthless except for reselling.

"Look at it in a positive way, it's better than failing the task."

Chen Luo comforted him.

They completed the task this time with some difficulty, and it was good enough to get these benefits.

"The knowledge related to alchemy can also be sold for a few spirit stones, and reselling it can also exchange for a lot of resources."

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

Fang Shan has also accepted the reality.

From the attitude of Wuwei Zhenren, it can be seen that this master does not think highly of him. Otherwise, he would not have given Chen Luo the fire control technique and 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, he has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, and the foundation building is expected, and there is hope for the immortal road!

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

"I just said it casually. The most important thing in alchemy is pharmacology. It is valuable to distinguish the medicinal properties of various spiritual materials." After Fang Shan complained a few more times, he said goodbye to Chen Luo.

Chen Luo returned to the cemetery in the back mountain alone.

After the grave-keeping brother left, this place was quite quiet.

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

"This mission was a bit risky."

Chen Luo's original plan was to follow the team down the mountain to get some experience, and then come back to exchange for the magical skills of other main peaks. As a result, the mission was deviated, and the reward became the fire control technique of Yaowang Peak.

"On the road of cultivation, you should keep your heart and not be moved by external things."

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

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

The first one was the battle between Chu Hongye, the senior sister of Guwang Peak, and Baoyue Witch of Jiudu Valley. When the two fought, almost all the Gu insects and poisonous insects were on the field. It was completely different from the straightforward fight between warriors.

The second time was the battle between Xianhe Chengfeng and Yangshizong Tieshi, in the foundation-building period.

After the foundation is built, the power of competition becomes magical power and magic power. A cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage has almost no power to fight back against a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and this is a fighting method of mana suppression.

The last time was when Chen Luo killed the robber cultivator himself.

He had improved the Soul Technique in advance, and killed the robber cultivator with absolute advantage. The opponent did not touch him from beginning to end, which can be said to have maximized the advantage of the Wudao Peak technique.

"The direction of the Soul Technique is right, the only thing missing is defense."

Thinking of the bats and spiders controlled by the Baoyue Witch, he still hasn't thought of a good way to deal with them.

There are too many of them, and he can't hold on for long with his spiritual power.

"It's a bit distracting to practice another defensive magic skill. It's better to improve the realm first, and solve this problem after the foundation is established. The strength is different, and there will definitely be more choices."

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

After thinking about this, Chen Luo put this problem aside.

Wait until the foundation is established in the future, and then solve this problem. By then, there may be a more perfect solution.

He picked up the fire control technique he got from Wuwei Zhenren, skillfully infused spiritual power into it, and quickly mastered the relevant knowledge.

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

Those who yearn for the immortal path have more or less come into contact with knowledge related to alchemy.

Who doesn't have a dream of becoming an alchemist!

"It's time to start alchemy. With the help of elixirs, the road of cultivation can go further."

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 level 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 cast 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. Among the disciples of Enlightenment Peak, those at the sixth level of Qi Refining can be regarded as the leading group. 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, and 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 their time honing it like this. 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-keeper.

‘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 restored part of the activity of the mummy’s brain, 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 breakthrough. ’

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 the ability 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 went to extract the essence and blood of an opponent, he would 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 the pros and cons for a moment, Chen Luo made a decision.

He will go to Junior Sister Huang Ying to get an alchemy furnace tomorrow morning!
