Affected by the sect war, the price of Qingyang amulet has increased significantly.
Lu Zhong benefited a lot from this, and his income from the spiritual stones for making and selling talismans increased a lot.
Thanks to this, the consumption of Linghuan Dan has returned to the previous level, and one can be taken every day.
Four months later, he finally practiced the Linghuan Dharmakaya to great perfection.
Different from the small completion, after the Linghuan Dharmakaya is completed, the benefits obtained are extremely obvious.
In terms of strength alone, he suddenly gained a thousand kilograms.
Nowadays, Lu Zhong can easily wield a punch with a force of ten thousand kilograms, which can easily break mountains and crack rocks.
In addition, there is an improvement in anti-hit ability.
Just like now, he is using Dharmakaya.
There will be a layer of golden light film condensed on the body surface. The light film has an excellent buffering effect and can greatly reduce the attack damage of low-grade magic weapons. It also has stronger protection against spells.
Dacheng's Linghuan Dharmakaya can withstand a fireball without being injured.
But what pleased Lu Zhong the most was the improvement in his qualifications brought about by training.
Ling Huan Dharmakaya is different from other general body training methods. It tends to pay more attention to the nourishment of the body. Although it loses the huge enhancement of strength and the abnormal improvement of resistance to blows, it can make the meridians of the whole body become stronger.
In disguise, the qualifications have been improved.
After exhaling a long breath, Lu Zhong stood up, pushed the door open and walked out of the quiet room.
Outside in the courtyard, the printing press clicked.
With the help of Hong Fu and Li Hejun, the spirit-seeking rat is working hard to print the pages of the book.
The contents of the book's pages are not exercises and formulas, nor are they any talisman-making books.
It's a storybook.
It's not a big deal to have three mouths for free. Lu Zhong accidentally saw a fairy tale that was circulating in the market and found that the content in it was crude, so he came up with the idea of trying to publish a book.
The content is, of course, the legendary growth story of a certain Han Tianzun.
Once this book was released, it received a very good response.
Although the audience for the storybook is mortals and their spending power is destined to be low, it is widely praised and can earn more than 20 spiritual stones every month just from selling the storybook.
This was something Lu Zhong never expected.
"Sir." Hongfu and Li Hejun saluted with dedication.
"Come here." Lu Zhong saw that the two of them were working so hard and decided to guide them in practice in advance.
Regarding getting started with spiritual practice, the first step is naturally to introduce Qi into the body.
This step may be difficult or easy.
The most difficult thing is naturally to practice the "Breathing and Inhalation Method" by yourself, accumulating the sense of Qi bit by bit until it finally successfully induces it to enter the body.
This process is extremely time-consuming, and the predecessor took five years to complete.
Lu Zhong had no intention of taking this path, after all, his purpose was just to train tool men.
Without any nonsense, he directly chanted the incantation and performed the object control technique.
Soon, a translucent cyan magic hand formed.
The book "Introduction to Flying Star Sect Techniques" was of great help to him. After systematically learning the basics of the techniques, learning the techniques during the Qi Refining Period is no longer difficult. As long as you are willing to spend time and study, you can learn it.
Object control is the best example.
With a wave of his magic hand, he sank directly into Hongfu's lower abdomen, where the Dantian is located.
What Lu Zhong has to do now is to guide the wood spirit power to circulate in her body. This method can speed up the introduction of Qi into the body, and is often used by sects or families.
A few days passed, and the red whisk looked like cooked shrimps.
"Do you remember this feeling?" Lu Zhong asked.
"Remember...remember." Hong Fu collapsed on the ground, his expression more excited than ever before.
Also excited is Li Hejun, who is also looking forward to it.
Seeing her expression, Lu Zhong looked calm and said: "You have no spiritual roots, so you can only practice another technique."
"Master, can I become an immortal...immortal master like this?" Li Hejun put his little hand on his heart and asked nervously.
Lu Zhong shook his head, slowly uttered two words, and said ruthlessly: "No."
Hearing this, Li Hejun's thin body trembled, and her eyes were slightly red. But she quickly took a deep breath, forced a smile and said, "Please teach Mr. He the skills."
"Yeah." Lu Zhong nodded.
What he wants to pass on to Li Hejun is a charming skill.
During the Qi refining period, there is no doubt that monks will crush mortals in terms of force, but this does not mean that mortals cannot fight back against monks. Whether it is giant bows, crossbows, or various poisons that are difficult to prevent, they can make monks sewer.
If the boat capsizes, even if you don't die, you will lose all your face.
Mei Gong is one of them.
During the Qi refining period, monks have different levels of mental cultivation, so there will naturally be people who cannot control their true intentions in the face of beauty.
Li Hejun was born with beautiful bones, if he practiced the charm skills, he would be beautiful.
Coupled with various secret love potions, it may not be impossible to charm the monks.
…
Thunderstorm all over the city.
Lu Zhong unfolded the spiritual shield on his body, blocking the pouring rain, and walked on the empty street.
If you want to quickly break through to the late stage of Qi refining, for a monk with Four Spiritual Root qualifications like him, just taking refining elixirs is not enough, you also need to find other auxiliary means.
The Spirit Gathering Formation is an option.
This formation can transform the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual stones and form a small area with high spiritual energy concentration. Staying in it to practice can also increase the speed of practice. Although the effect is not as significant as taking pills, it is worse than the refined spiritual energy. The energy essence is pure and free of impurities, and there is no risk of accumulation of erysipelas.
Apart from the consumption of spirit stones, there are no other disadvantages to practicing with the spirit gathering array.
If it were any other time, Lu Zhong would not be eager to break through to the late stage of Qi refining, but now that Heling Sect, Jin Hong Sect, and Luo Yun Sect are already fighting, he feels a strong sense of crisis.
In addition, recently, riots have occurred one after another in Yingling City.
There are both demonic cultivators and detailed works from Jinhong Sect and Luoyun Sect.
No matter which time it happened, human corpses were piled up into mountains.
Once, there was a turmoil at the late stage of the Qi refining period. The two sides fought around an important weapon refining workshop. The scale of casualties far exceeded that of Changlefang, and it almost affected Lu Zhong's new residence.
It's hard to imagine what would happen if you were involved.
Lu Zhong made some deductions and found that even if he had a black crystal shield, in such a large-scale conflict, with nearly a hundred monks fighting, the chance of survival would be slim.
Hence, today’s trip was made.
Lu Zhong is now going to attend an exchange meeting, where the spirit gathering array he wants will appear.
When I walked to a store with a closed door, I could see a faint spiritual light circulating, indicating that the other party had activated the magic circle and protected the entire store with a protective magic circle.
Tap a few times rhythmically.
After a while, the door opened a gap.
A pair of alert eyes appeared behind the door. The other person looked at Lu Zhong carefully for a while, and then saw that he was holding a tree-shaped token in his hand, and his expression finally relaxed a little.
Soon, a hole opened in the protective shield of the magic circle, just enough for another person to enter.
"Come in quickly, Fellow Daoist Lu, the exchange meeting is about to begin." A slightly hoarse voice came from inside.
Lu Zhong nodded, and after confirming that there were no warning signs in his heart, he raised his feet and crossed the threshold.
Behind the door is a woman with a good figure and a certain beauty. Her name is Leng Cui. She is very popular in Yongling City and is the host of this exchange meeting.
The other party led the way, and Lu Zhong quickly followed.
First, they passed a warehouse stacked with materials, then walked down a tunnel at the corner, about ten feet deep, before finally arriving at the venue where the exchange meeting was held.
It is a semicircular hall.
There is a silver plate hanging from the top of the hall, and the candlelight array engraved on it is running, illuminating the room. From this, you can see that the floor is covered with a moire carpet, and nine high chairs are placed in a circle on it.
At this moment, there are still two empty chairs, and the other high chairs are already occupied.
Either he closed his eyes and meditated, or he whispered timidly.
"Brother Zhu, I wonder if you have any spare magic weapons over there. Can you give me one for me? I'm willing to pay double the market price!" A middle-aged man with a long beard wearing a purple robe and a faint medicinal smell said sideways.
He leaned forward and said to the old man beside him.
"Double?" The old man in blue scarf smiled bitterly upon hearing this.
It's not that he doesn't want to give face to an alchemist, but that since the beginning of the war, the supply of various spiritual mines has been seriously affected. Coupled with the continuous attacks from Jinhong Sect and Luoyun Sect, the output of the refining workshop has been reduced.
A sharp decline.
Under this situation, even though he is a workshop owner, he has no spare magic weapons to sell for the time being.
After receiving the old man's reply, the bearded middle-aged man could not hide his anxiety.
A while ago, in order to develop new financial resources and practice new elixirs, he spent almost all his wealth, and even used the magic weapons in his hands. He thought he could make a lot of money from the new elixirs, but he never expected to encounter a war.
Seeing that the city was becoming more and more chaotic and his safety could not be guaranteed, he was naturally very anxious.
On the other side, Leng Cui saw that everyone had arrived, a smile appeared on his face and said: "It is my honor to invite all of you Taoists to participate in this exchange meeting. I won't say any more nonsense, and took out
The item you want to sell, then briefly introduce its function, and then talk about what you want to exchange. Whether it can be successful or not depends on you."
After saying that, she turned to look at the old man with a green scarf on her left, indicating that he could start.
The old man in green scarf nodded, stood up and bowed his hands to everyone present, and then said loudly: "Old man, there is nothing to exchange here. Let's exchange for magic weapons this time. If any Taoist friend is willing or can introduce a good one to
I have been serving as guest minister in the lower workshop for half a year. If I have another magic weapon refined here, I will give it to you as soon as possible."
After Lu Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Everyone knows that it is very dangerous near the workshop. Unless the craftsmen and demon cultivators lurking in the city are wiped out, it would be foolish to go together for an unproduced magic weapon no matter how you look at it.
As expected, no one in the room was interested.
Seeing the silence, Leng Cui, who was presiding over the exchange meeting, coughed a few times and smiled at the person sitting next to the old man in green scarf, indicating that the other person could start.
The long-bearded middle-aged man couldn't wait any longer and stood up immediately.
"I brought three spiritual pills this time." He said very quickly, then touched his sleeve, took out a delicate wooden box, and poured out a brown-yellow pill the size of a pigeon egg.
.
Suddenly, a strange fragrance spread in the hall.
"The effect of the Spiritual Soul Pill is very simple. It can purify the erysipelas in our bodies!" The middle-aged man with a long beard showed the pill in his hand to everyone, his expression was inadvertently triumphant, and he looked very proud.
Upon hearing this, the monks present, including Lu Zhong, were all moved by it.
Needless to say, the harm of erysipelas seriously hinders the speed of monks taking pills, which also reduces the efficiency of taking pills to improve their cultivation. Basically, it can only be resolved through hard practice.
But now, there is a pill that can purify erysipelas.
How can others not be surprised by this!
Having a clear view of everyone's expressions, the middle-aged man with a long beard remembered his purpose, thought for a while and said: "It is not easy to refine the spirit pill. It requires the use of many centuries-old elixirs. In addition, the difficulty of refining is far higher than that of pills of the same level."
medicine, so one soul pill needs to be exchanged for a magic weapon."
Upon hearing his words, the other monks who had originally had fiery eyes calmed down again.
They naturally have magic weapons.
But it's only enough for self-protection. There are no extra magic weapons that can be exchanged.
"Fellow Daoist Gao, let's talk about the price of spiritual stones. I don't think everyone has many magical weapons." Someone suggested.
The long-bearded middle-aged man shook his head, then returned to his seat and sat down, smiling bitterly: "I think everyone knows what the situation is in the city now. If you can't protect your own life, no matter how many spiritual stones you have, it won't matter.
use?"
"Oh, that's right..." The person who made the suggestion sighed.
It was a cold start again. Leng Cui did not expect this outcome, so she had to politely ask the next person to start.
Everyone took out their things one by one, and they were all rare and rare things.
Some transactions are completed, and some transactions fail like the previous two people.
Soon, the spirit gathering array that Lu Zhong wanted was also exchanged for it by a masked female cultivator.
Coincidentally, the other party just wanted to change it into a protective object.
For this reason, Lu Zhong gave the market price equivalent to four hundred spirit stones, which is the price of ten Qingyang amulets, and then exchanged it for this first-level spirit gathering array.
This is because during the war, the value of the spirit gathering array was greatly reduced, while the value of the protective talisman was greatly increased.
Otherwise, he will have to pay even more.
When it was Lu Zhong's turn, he took out the secret amulet in exchange.
"Whether it's elixirs or materials, as long as it's something valuable, fellow Taoists can exchange it."
As a talisman maker, Lu Zhong currently has a lot of Qingyang protective talismans on his body. Even if he has replaced five of them, he still has 67 in stock, which he has slowly accumulated in the past.
.
The purpose is to gain something from the exchange meeting.
After he finished speaking, he smiled at the long-bearded middle-aged man.
When the other party saw this, he looked hesitant.
After a while, he still used a soul pill to exchange for four secret talismans.
As for the remaining two, no matter how Lu Zhong tried to persuade him, the middle-aged man with a long beard refused to let go.
If this is the case, then we can only accept it as soon as possible.
"Fellow Taoist, do you need the Soul Crystal?" Someone took out a crystal that shone with golden light and was about the size of a fist.
When Lu Zhong heard this, he was excited.
Soul-sucking crystal is an essential material for refining sacrificial weapons.
He originally thought that this thing was also a common thing in Yongling City, but after getting to know it, he realized that it turned out that the soul crystal was a specialty of the north, which was rare in the southern barbarians.
Another deal was concluded, and two secret talismans were successfully exchanged for soul crystals.
In this way, the sacrificial weapon can finally be entrusted with refining.
