Chapter 170 Mountaineering

After completing the transaction, Chen Luo did not stop, but turned around and walked out of the city. When he was doing the transaction with the little boy just now, he asked him about the mass grave near Black Stone City, and planned to try his luck there to see if he could pick up two high-level brains.

"There are really people who are not afraid of death."

As soon as he left Black Stone City, several auras followed him out. It was probably because of his generosity in buying things in the market before that aroused the greed of these people.

Among these people, Chen Luo also saw an acquaintance, the old man who sold him the curse method was also there.

These guys regarded him as a fat sheep and were ready to make a big deal.

"I haven't even found out the news of the third-level spirit vein, but I have attracted such a large group of flies."

Chen Luo's face showed a trace of coldness, and he accelerated his speed to fly towards the mass grave in the outer city.

"Don't fight, I, Blood Demon Lord, have my eyes on this fat sheep."

"Bullshit, I clearly found it first."

As soon as they left the Black Stone City, the group of robbery cultivators could no longer hold back, and they used their magical powers to attack Chen Luo one by one.

Chen Luofei stopped, looked at the dozen robbery cultivators flying over, and stretched out one hand.

Wind Control Technique.

The magical power of the foundation-building period exploded, and rolled over like mowing the grass. The 'Blood Demon Lord' who was in the front didn't even scream, and was chopped into seventeen or eighteen pieces, blood splattered, and he couldn't die any more.

"Foundation-building cultivator!!"

The robbery cultivators who fell behind and were half a beat slower were so scared that their souls were scared out of their wits, and some even knelt down and kowtowed on the spot to beg for mercy.

"Senior, spare my life"

Chen Luo didn't even bother to look, stretched out one hand, and used the Wind Control Technique to roll over.

The strong wind raged, and after a circle of sweeping, only a pile of corpses were left on the spot.

This low-level evil cultivator not only has insufficient cultivation, but also poor eyesight. The potential of the little boy's evil cultivation is very good, but it's a pity that he didn't follow him out.

With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen storage bags of robbery cultivators fell into his sleeves.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and it cannot be wasted.

After killing people, Chen Luo flew to the mass grave again. This time it was much quieter, and he didn't meet the fearless robbery cultivators on the road.

Mass grave outside Black Stone City.

This is a wasteland located on another hilltop, full of miasma, and poisonous snakes and toads can be seen everywhere.

After Chen Luo flew down, he didn't say a word, and skillfully took out the shovel and started working.

A grave.

Empty

The second, third, and tenth, all empty! Chen Luo stopped his action with an ugly face.

Careless!

This is the territory of evil cultivators. For evil cultivators, even dead bones are valuable. Bones can be used as curse materials, rotten meat can be used to make poison, and occasionally there are mutilated but not dead bodies, which are also dug up and taken back to make corpses.

Not to mention ghosts and the like. Evil cultivators who practice Yin Guishu like these things the most, and take them away immediately when they see them.

There is no place cleaner than this in the entire Black Stone City.

Not only did not see a single corpse, but even the resentful souls were swept away by some guys who made "Soul Banners".

"I can only find another opportunity later."

He put away the shovel and flew back to the city.

In the next few days, Chen Luo bought a house in the outer city and lived there. The original owner was a cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining. Because of the poor family management, he could not continue to live in Black Stone City. Just when Chen Luo was looking for a place to live, he sold the house and the land deed to Chen Luo.

"First make pills, then learn curses and Yin Lei spells."

Chen Luo sat cross-legged in the house and set a short-term practice plan for himself. The materials for the Yang Yuan Dan have been gathered. The Heart Yuan Stone he got from Madam Bai Gu is ground into powder, which is enough for him to use for a long time. The next step is to transform these things into his own strength.

Taking out the alchemy furnace, the lifeblood of Elder An, Chen Luo skillfully cast a spiritual formula.

‘Raise the temperature before turning the medicine, the medicinal gas of the alchemy furnace can increase the success rate of the pill. ’

In the external brain, Elder An’s thoughts floated up.

This alchemy furnace was originally his thing, and only he knew the small details of its use best. Chen Luo followed Elder An’s habit and began to refine the first batch of Yang Yuan Dan.

‘Use it as medicine, divided into four times. ’

‘The medicinal properties are fused, without rejection. ’

The long-matched deer demon brain and the wood attribute foundation-building cultivator brain became active.

The alchemy furnace rotated, and the medicinal fragrance was everywhere. Fortunately, Chen Luo arranged an isolation array before retreating to prevent the spread of the medicinal fragrance.

After a while, Chen Luo put the auxiliary medicine prepared by Elder An into the alchemy furnace, scraped out a small amount of Heart Yuan Stone powder, mixed it and put it in.

The temperature in the furnace was getting higher and higher. With Chen Luo's skilled technique, the pill was soon condensed.

The first time to refine the second-level pill, it was easy and simple for Chen Luo.

It was refined without any surprises. When the alchemy furnace was opened, seven brown pills appeared at the bottom. Seven pills were refined in one furnace. Elder An's alchemy skills were indeed much higher than Chen Luo's.

"Top-grade Yang Yuan Pill, not bad."

Taking advantage of the momentum, Chen Luo opened the furnace several times again until he finished refining the auxiliary medicine prepared by Elder An. With a full dozen gourds of Yang Yuan Pills in hand, Chen Luo started his retreat journey

Time passed, and five years passed in a flash.

In the dilapidated courtyard of the outer city of Black Stone City, weeds grew all over the yard, mice ran around in the yard, and occasionally some homeless casual cultivators came here to spend their days.

After not being left for five years, this yard was regarded as an abandoned place by many people. Some people even killed people and buried bodies here and did some shady transactions.

Chen Luo knew exactly what was happening outside.

After five years of seclusion, he ate a gourd full of Yangyuan Pills. With the help of so many elixirs, the spiritual power in his body increased a lot, and the number of mana dragons increased from one to three.

After reaching this point, the shortcomings of the Heart Demon Technique were further magnified.

As his main training technique, the Heart Demon Technique is not compatible with him and has begun to affect the speed of his practice.

Cultivation in the foundation building period is inherently difficult, and any small factor will have a huge impact in the later stages.

"Five years."

Chen Luo opened his eyes, spread his consciousness, and took in everything in the yard.

After five years of hard training, he not only improved his spiritual power, but also his spiritual consciousness. From the state that was originally close to the late stage of foundation building, to the level that was close to the completion of foundation building, he was considered a leader in the late stage of foundation building.

The only trouble is the realm.

The training in the foundation building period was more difficult than he expected. After five years of training, he still had not broken through to the middle stage of foundation building.

"It's so difficult to build a foundation, how do you practice forming pills?"

Chen Luo tried to use Danjie's brain, but found that the other party didn't think he was slow in cultivation. According to the knowledge of Jiedan Brain, the practice in the foundation-building period is originally based on hundreds of years, and those who can practice to perfection within two hundred years are geniuses.

A practice like Chen Luo's, which has been progressing for five years, can only be achieved by a 'genius' with a single spiritual root and excellent understanding, based on the cognition of Jie Dan's brain.

Chen Luo tried to use the mummy's brain again.

‘You can find a ninth-level spiritual vein, place it in it and practice it, and you can achieve a breakthrough in a few months. ’

This deepened Chen Luo's understanding of the mummy's brain.

The person in the tomb was definitely not the Nascent Soul or the Incarnation God as he had guessed. He had never even heard of such a thing as ninth-level spiritual veins. Not only him, but also his master Wuwei Zhenren. What he is planning after leaving the Seven Kingdoms area is just a third-level spiritual vein.

"According to the current progress, it will take at least twenty years to break through the middle stage of foundation building."

The standard for the middle stage of foundation building is ten mana dragons. As long as Chen Luo continues to use the Yangyuan Pill, it will take sixteen years at the fastest to reach ten mana dragons. This is if his cultivation speed does not slow down.

This is basically impossible.

Chen Luo has already felt that his cultivation speed has slowed down, and the effect of the Yangyuan Pill has weakened after taking too much. There is also the effect of the skill, which allows him to swallow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at only half the speed. This house is not a place of spiritual veins, and the effect is not as good as the training room of Shenhu Xianmen.

Therefore, if Chen Luo wants to solve the current problem, the best way is to find a spiritual place and change his exercises!

"The practice method of practicing behind closed doors in the outer city will not work! It is difficult to purchase alchemy materials, and there is no exchange of experiences on foundation building at the same level. If this continues, practice will only become slower and slower."

Chen Luo stood up and walked out of the cabin.

After five years, there is finally some movement in the abandoned cabin.

When Chen Luo went out, he immediately killed the casual cultivators who were burying the corpses in his yard. The few cultivators in the early stages of Qi training did not need to worry so much.

After killing the person, he walked towards the middle level of Black Rock City without even stopping for a moment.

The middle area of ​​Black Rock City is obviously much more prosperous. After entering, Chen Luo can clearly feel that the spiritual energy has become much richer. It has reached the strength of the training rooms such as Shenhu Xianmending. This is just an outer street. It can be seen from this. The effect of third-level spiritual veins.

Chen Luo found a 'station' and prepared to enter the inner city.

The problems with his skills and spiritual land have affected his cultivation progress and are difficult problems that must be solved now. The best way is to go to the inner city, get close to the third-level spiritual veins first, and then look for the technique.

The inner city of Black Rock City is on the top of this mountain, and there are formations around it to isolate it. It is absolutely impossible to get up without someone to lead the way. Chen Luoxun's 'Inn' is one of the few 'qualified' guides in Blackstone City.

After paying the money, Chen Luo got on the stage carriage.

The carriages all have the blood of monsters and beasts, so it is effortless to walk on the mountain road.

"This Black Stone City was not divided into an inner city and an outer city at the beginning. The real Black Stone City was only the one on the mountain. The places where we live below were built around them by monks later. They just bear the name of Black Stone City. , not really Black Rock City.”

On the winding mountain road.

The monk who led the way introduced the history of Black Rock City.

He brought more than twenty people with him on this trip, and each person received ten spiritual stones. Calculating, he could make a lot of money.

Chen Luo sat on the carriage and looked at the scenery on both sides of the mountain road.

The distance between the core and the middle level of Black Rock City is not close. The altitude difference between the two is nearly 8,000 meters. There are large formations and restrictions around the mountain. It is impossible to fly up with a sword. The slightest approach will trigger a big explosion. formation, attracting attacks from the third-level formation.

The only way to enter the inner city is through the 'Inn'.

There were four other people riding the carriage like Chen Luo. The post station in Black Rock City was very good at doing business and specially prepared carriages for them, the foundation-building monks. Pulled by a demon blood horse, the body is extremely stable. This not only avoids being attacked by demonic beasts on the road, but also demonstrates the identity of a foundation-building monk.

Other monks in the Qi Refining Realm were not treated so well. They rode in an ordinary carriage, with more than twenty people crowded together, and the carriage was always bumpy.

After listening for a while, Chen Luo ignored these young monks in the Qi Refining Realm and turned his consciousness to the four carriages behind them.

All the people sitting here are foundation-building cultivators, especially one of them, whose spiritual power even made him feel oppressive, and he was obviously in the middle stage of foundation-building.

The remaining three carriages were very close, and the three people inside were still communicating with their spiritual senses. They seemed to be acquaintances.

"It's really rare to meet four foundation-building cultivators at once."

Chen Luo secretly raised his guard.

The cultivators who can build the foundation are geniuses among ten thousand. Any of these people should not be underestimated. Even Chen Luo would not provoke people of the same level unless he had no choice, because you never know what magical powers the other party has cultivated and what kind of life-saving trump cards he has.
