The art of nourishing the mind does not seem difficult, at least based on the content in the book. With the foundation of the art, he can not only master it quickly, but at least he can quickly learn some tricks.
But the current situation is that there is no clue at all.
It feels like practicing with a fake spell book, otherwise you wouldn't have encountered this strange situation.
"Perhaps, there are secrets hidden in this spiritual cultivation technique that I don't know about."
Lu Zhong felt that this was probably the case.
If one could master the Mystic Nurturing Technique with just one book, then the Heling Sect disciple would probably not throw the book away and would be more likely to hold on until the end. After all, as long as he could escape
If you are born in heaven, you can use this technique to rise all the way up. I can't say whether you can form a pill in the end, but there is absolutely no problem in building a foundation.
The figures of the three men in gray flashed in his mind. Lu Zhong felt that if he wanted to find useful clues, it would probably fall on them. Logically speaking, the Heling Sect disciple should be killed by these three people in the end.
.
Closing the book, he stood up from the futon.
He walked to the talisman-making table nearby, took out the soul beads on his body, and prepared to try to refine the machine soul.
The appearance of the machine soul is uncertain, and it mainly depends on the intention of the refiner. The only important thing is the binding spirit ring inside. All you need to do is to refine a shell, hold the spirit ring and the soul bead inside, and then carve the corresponding runes on the shell.
In this way, a simple machine soul can be made.
Lu Zhong couldn't refine the restraining spirit ring, but he could spend spirit stones to ask a refiner to refine it. He had already placed an order before leaving the city, and the ten restraining rings he received were not many, but they were enough for many attempts.
Due to his experience in making talismans, Lu Zhong spent less than half an hour to successfully create a soldier-level machine spirit.
The shape of this machine spirit is spherical and looks dull.
The newly made machine soul is in a dormant state and needs the soul power provided by the soul bead to drive it before it can enter a normal operating state.
Press a soul bead into the machine soul, and the runes on its surface will soon light up.
Lu Zhong checked it and prepared to put it into the machine beast.
According to the classification of puppet mechanics, this machine soul belongs to the pawn level among the three levels of pawn general king.
Machine souls can only be backward compatible, so the zombie-level machine soul can only drive low-level puppets. Such puppets usually do not have combat effectiveness. For example, Xiao Qi's machine fox was one of the soldier-level puppets.
After much thought, he decided to put it into a mechanical bird.
The purpose is to verify whether the machine soul is successfully refined.
As a result, Lu Zhong was a little disappointed. No matter how he controlled the mechanism bird that had been replaced with a new machine soul, it did not move at all. He reinstalled the old machine soul and everything returned to normal.
Obviously, the problem lies with the machine spirit he made.
Another night passed by revising and revising.
…
Lu Zhong yawned and felt a little tired after not sleeping for several months.
When his eyes moved to a delicate ball on the table, his expression suddenly became excited again.
After a night of hard work, he finally overcame the difficulty in making the machine soul. Although it was only a junior machine soul, it was enough to achieve the purpose of pretending to be a puppet mechanic.
The next step is to customize the machine beast body from the workshop.
Regarding the choice of the machine beast, Lu Zhong chose the bronze leopard machine beast that is good at guerrilla harassment, and planned to refine hundreds of them at once to assist the seven machine beasts that serve as the main combat force.
When he opened the door and walked out, the rays of the morning sun fell on his face.
After the war between the three sects, Yongling City became more and more prosperous day by day.
The flow of people on the streets is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and shops that were originally closed have also opened. However, due to the impact of the workshops that have not yet fully restored production capacity, the number of goods on the shelves is smaller, and the prices are higher than before the war.
Give out a little.
Everything is developing in a good direction.
But even Lu Zhong could see that this was just the brewing stage of the storm.
The prosperity of Yingling City again is based on the blood-sucking of Jinhong Sect and Luoyun Sect. It is precisely by attracting those casual cultivators who were originally wandering in the wilderness, and even the casual cultivators who mastered memories in Liangzongfang City, that
With the great and prosperous situation in the city.
One can imagine what the Jinhong Sect's Yanlingshanfang City and Luoyun Sect's Luoyun City are like now.
The conflict has not been resolved, so the outbreak of the second war of three sects is completely expected. The only difference lies in when it broke out and how tragic the war was.
Arrive in front of the workshop.
Lu Zhong was about to go in, but out of the corner of his eye he caught three figures walking out of a pill shop one after another.
Even though all three of them were disguised, he could still recognize them at a glance.
It was the three men in gray who were chasing the disciples of the Heling Sect.
Silently, Lu Zhong followed.
There was a gray fog space where the scene could be traced back, so he could keep tracking the three people in the blind spot without risking being discovered.
Following them all the way, the three people sometimes got together and sometimes separated.
The man he was following kept going in and out of the elixir shop and elixir shop in the city.
"They are really cautious enough." Lu Zhong began to guess in his mind, wondering what the purpose of these three people was to take such action and purchase a large amount of elixir.
Inexplicably, he was sure that it had something to do with the art of cultivating the spirit.
The most likely fact is that the three of them got something from that Heling Sect disciple.
The tracking process lasted for an hour, and Lu Zhong finally followed the target to the resting place of the three of them.
It's an inn.
Lu Zhong asked for a room close to where the three of them lived.
"Second brother, third brother, have you bought everything?"
"It's all ready, brother."
"Okay, then let's do it according to the previous plan!"
With the help of scene recall, Lu Zhong knew all the contents of their conversation as if he were standing in a three-person room separated by a wall.
At this time, the three of them toasted to celebrate. The third brother among them drank a glass of spiritual wine and picked up his chopsticks to pick up the spiritual food on the table.
At this moment, black blood suddenly appeared from his seven orifices, and his body went limp and he soon lost his breath.
"Brother, you!" The second brother on the side couldn't believe this scene.
Soon, he also began to bleed from his orifices and died suddenly.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, the eldest brother had an extremely complicated expression. Looking at the left hand that had poured the poison, his body was trembling slightly.
Then, as if to comfort himself, he muttered to himself: "Second brother, third brother, don't blame me for being cruel. The number of soul-nurturing trees is really too small. If we separate them, it won't be of much use. It's also your fault."
You didn’t agree with my plan at the beginning, otherwise why would this be the case..."
"Yes, yes, it's all your fault!"
After finding the reason, the guilty look on the man's face disappeared, and he quickly walked to the two bodies, ready to touch them.
"Pfft!" The sharp blade entered the body and stirred hard.
Lu Zhong couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this scene.
It turned out that the third brother who fell first among the three was not poisoned, and the bleeding from the seven orifices just now was all fake. When the elder brother came forward to touch the body, he suddenly stabbed his head with a sharp knife.
The eldest brother fell to the ground with a plop, his body twitching non-stop.
Lu Zhong learned again.
He engraved this incident in his heart, thinking that if he had to fight with others again in the future, he would have to be vigilant at all times, and he must not end up like the "big brother" just because of a moment of carelessness.
But then again, isn't this the scene he wants to see the most?
"Tsk, tsk, brothers are killing each other, but in the end they get the advantage of outsiders."
Originally, with the strength of three people, it was extremely difficult for him to find a chance to strike.
But now, two out of three are gone.
There was only the last monk left in the middle stage of Qi Refining, who was no match for him, Lu Zhong.
"The soul-nourishing tree may be the source of the problem that prevents me from practicing the soul-nourishing technique." Lu Zhong was already thinking in his mind, waiting for the other party to leave the city again or to a secluded place to take action.
As for morality and immorality, Quan should regard it as revenge for the disciple of Heling Sect, and also as a way of thanking him for his spiritual nourishment.
On the other side, the third brother in the room severely stepped on the two older brothers.
"Bah, I've had enough of you!"
…
For seven days in a row, this man was busy in his room.
During this period, Lu Zhong also saw the appearance of the soul-nurturing tree.
It was a piece of gray wood with a gray aura constantly hanging down. After being mixed with a variety of elixirs, it was made into a gray spiritual liquid, which was finally put into a palm-sized jade bottle.
"A straight mother-in-law, with this laborious soul-nurturing liquid, it's actually more tiring than practicing!"
In the room, a young man with a mustache cursed.
Immediately, he muttered again: "The spiritual liquid has been mixed, but where should I go to find the place to nourish the soul? It's better for that kid. If he had known to light the sky lantern, he must know where to nourish the soul.
Soul Land."
You are more than missing a place to nourish your soul!
When Lu Zhong saw this, he silently added something in his heart.
He could probably guess what the Heling Sect disciple was thinking.
If nothing unexpected happens, if you want to practice this soul-nurturing technique, you must meet three conditions at the same time: a secret formula, a soul-nurturing liquid made from soul-nurturing wood, and a so-called soul-nurturing place.
At first glance, it seems to be extremely troublesome.
However, in Lu Zhong's view, this is normal.
After all, it can be said that it is very difficult to enhance spiritual consciousness.
It is clearly stated in the classics that even in the elixir formation stage, methods such as soul nourishing techniques to enhance spiritual consciousness are still extremely scarce and are not just a piece of cake.
Right now, it’s just a matter of meeting three conditions.
Seeing that the other party was getting ready to go out, Lu Zhong suddenly became energetic.
…
The dense forest outside the city.
The target reached a clearing in the forest and suddenly stopped.
At this moment, Lu Zhongji wanted to rush out and take action.
Finally, he endured it.
A small leak will sink a great ship.
Proceed with caution.
The other party obviously didn't come here to find the soul-nurturing place. Judging from his expression, he was obviously waiting for someone.
Understanding this, Lu Zhong tried his best to use the two techniques of breath concentration and concealment to minimize his aura and presence, so as to better hide himself.
After waiting for a while, a middle-aged man wearing white robes appeared.
"Hey, why are you the only one here today?"
"My eldest brother and second brother are busy with something." The young man with a mustache looked as usual and told the reason he had made up a long time ago.
This explanation is very reasonable, after all, the three brothers have always felt this way about each other.
The middle-aged man didn't have any doubts. Compared with this, business matters were more important, so he continued: "As for this year's ranking battle, I want you to..."
The more he spoke, the softer he spoke, which was a subconscious move.
And this obviously cannot stop Lu Zhong.
After listening to the scene and recalling it, he felt huge waves in his heart.
Someone wants to take action against the ranking battle!
The purpose is to destroy Heling Sect's way of cultivating new blood, and then achieve the goal of weakening the overall strength.
The reason is to prepare for the second battle of the three sects.
The middle-aged man had a secret chat with Mustache for a while, during which he drew various cakes and received physical rewards.
…
While Lu Zhong was waiting patiently, the secret meeting between the two finally came to an end.
Mustache waited for a while.
"Come out."
Out of the blue, he suddenly said this.
Wherever he looked, he happened to be in the direction where Lu Zhong was.
At the first moment, he thought that he had been discovered.
But then I thought about it and realized that the other party was cheating.
Moreover, the person who was on guard might not be himself, but the middle-aged man who had just left.
"I learned it again!" Lu Zhong said in his heart.
After a while, Mustache walked away as if nothing was wrong.
It's not the direction of Yongling City, it should be to find a place to nourish the soul.
Lu Zhong followed closely behind.
When the opponent relaxed, he suddenly launched a sneak attack and took off Mustache's head. To be sure, he deliberately stabbed his body a few times. After all, the opponent was cunning and cunning enough to kill his elder brother, which was really impressive.
Touch the corpse.
There are thousands of Guangling Stones and countless various properties, with a total value of nearly three thousand.
Normally, Lu Zhong would have been extremely excited.
But now, these belongings put together are not as important as a bottle of soul nourishing liquid.
"The soul nourishing technique and the soul nourishing liquid have been obtained, so what is left is the place to nourish the soul..." Regarding this point, Lu Zhong naturally had a rough idea, and he needed to consult Master Kan Yu for the rest.
There are specialties in the arts, and no matter how many ideas he has as a Talisman Maker, they are not as good as Master Kanyu's professional research.
When it comes to finding a spiritual place, Master Kanyu says it’s second, but no one dares to say it’s first.
…
After traveling through the starry night, we finally returned to Yongling City.
Lu Zhong saw that it was getting late, and it was estimated that no Kanyu masters would come out to take the job.
So I decided to wait until tomorrow and don’t rush this day no matter how urgent it is.
After taking the elixir and refining it, Lu Zhong suddenly had an expression of surprise on his face.
Just now, he sensed that the bottleneck that had been restricting him from breaking through to a higher level of cultivation had suddenly loosened significantly, and the extent of the loosening was greater than before.
Before breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, it can be said that there is only the last layer of window paper left.
As long as it is broken, it will be the later stage of Qi refining.
Lu Zhong did not dare to be careless, so he tightened his mind and continued practicing.
...
We didn't arrive at the central area until dawn.
This is the area with the least damage in Yongling City during the last war.
It can even be said that it has not been damaged at all.
The reason is that the shops that can open a shop here can usually afford to hire powerful ministers or guests, and there is often a big force standing behind them, which makes Jinhong Sect and Luoyun Sect avoid rats.
Walk into the stall area on a familiar road.
His ears were filled with the sound of bargaining. After searching for options, he found a stall keeper.
He was an old man with a gray beard and a tired expression.
Although he was wearing a cassock, anyone could tell that it was a fake.
