Putting the beads away, Lu Zhong used the Zhanwang Qi Technique.
Looking around, I found that there were no monsters missing here.
Then I felt uneasy again, thinking that the monster was not intelligent enough to hide the malice in its heart, so I secretly checked for malice and made sure that there was no reaction in my heart, and then walked out of the demon cultivator's hiding place.
Alarmed by the movement of the fighting spell just now, soldiers were sent from Yizhou City Government Office to surround a large area. A monk with a fat figure was standing at the door and pacing back and forth.
When he saw Lu Zhong walking out, he immediately greeted him.
"Li Yun of Yizhou City has seen the inspector!"
Supervisory envoy was the name used by Lu Zhong for this trip, for the purpose of doing things expediently.
"The evil trouble has been eliminated, let's clean up the scene." Lu Zhong said calmly.
After saying that, he declined the other party's offer of a banquet and called the red-tailed eagle to soar into the sky.
More than half an hour later, we had flown over a primeval forest.
Sitting cross-legged on the broad back of the red-tailed eagle, Lu Zhong paid attention to his surroundings and at the same time considered his future goals.
After completing the sect's mission, according to the treatment of inner sect disciples, as long as there is no unexpected situation, no more missions will be issued within three to five years, and you can practice peacefully or earn cultivation resources.
"It's time to put the cultivation of spiritual rings on the agenda."
After refining the sacrificial weapon, he could not spare much time to upgrade this spiritual weapon as the ranking battle was approaching, so he naturally had to arrange it now that he had time.
The importance of spiritual weapons is self-evident to foundation-building monks.
The spiritual weapons that have been refined can be controlled at will. Compared with the magical weapons that need to be controlled by magic formulas, the spiritual weapons can change moves very quickly and can adapt to changes better.
The hard condition required for sacrificing and refining spiritual weapons is divine consciousness.
Lu Zhong has now developed spiritual consciousness. Although it is far inferior to the foundation-building monks, it is still enough to use it to refine spiritual weapons. Once he successfully cultivates the spiritual ring into a spiritual weapon, his strength will be greatly improved immediately.
"Also, the bead that is suspected to be a spiritual weapon cannot be left alone."
He had already decided that when he returned to the sect, he would read through the classics and find out its origin and usage.
At this time, an accident happened suddenly.
Suddenly, there was a breaking sound in Lu Zhong's arms.
It was inspired by the Protector of the Secret Talisman of Qingyang to form a translucent shield on the body surface, blocking the wooden thorns that penetrated the red-tailed eagle's body, blocking a life-and-death crisis.
His face changed slightly, Lu Zhong looked somewhere below and flicked out four bright red beads.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Four orange-red flames exploded one after another, forming a long flame ribbon in the air. They were preparing to use the flames to block the attacker's sight and provide cover for him to land safely.
Unexpectedly, he caught another patch of green light coming from the corner of his eye.
Lu Zhong thought to himself that it was strange, and at the same time he unfolded the water-patterned cover and activated the wind-grabbing magical power of his robe. His whole body suddenly became light and airy, and the falling momentum suddenly stopped, avoiding the incoming green light.
"Whoosh!" The green light, which was no less powerful than a giant crossbow, roared past.
Before it was over, Lu Zhong caught another dense green light flying from three directions.
This time, the number of green lights was extremely large, completely blocking his possible evasive movement.
"I can only bear it hard!"
Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhong increased his spiritual power input to the highest level, causing the water pattern mask to glow with a dazzling aura. At the same time, he held a black crystal shield in his left hand and a golden light talisman in his right hand to respond at any time.
It was like the heavy pounding sound of raindrops, and the water pattern cover soon became unable to withstand it.
With a "pop" sound, it exploded into a brilliance that filled the sky.
After dealing with one after another, Lu Zhong finally landed successfully.
Pulling out the wooden thorn on his left shoulder, he used his backhand to use the Golden Sword, and cut out the flesh and blood on his shoulder that was rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye without any hesitation, without changing his expression during the process.
"Why did you sneak attack on me?"
Lu Zhong looked ahead, where there was an ordinary and strange tree.
At this moment, in the vision of Qi Wangshu, the strange tree stretches out veins glowing with green light, connecting the surrounding ancient trees. Those green awn wood thorns are controlled by the strange tree.
Several gaps suddenly opened in the trunk of the strange tree, forming a human face.
"Hand over the Black Lotus Pearl and I will spare your life."
The voice was indifferent, without any emotion.
When Lu Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but sneer again and again, thinking that it would be strange for you to have this attitude.
Black bead?
Keeping this name in his heart, he did not act rashly. While using his spiritual consciousness to explore the strange tree's weaknesses, he continued to talk to the strange tree: "What is the black bead? I have a lot of beads on my body, what exactly is it?"
What does it look like and what is its size?"
"Delay time!" The strange tree saw through Lu Zhong's thoughts.
Hearing this, Lu Zhong thought to himself that this thing is not stupid.
Unfortunately, the conversation time was enough for him to find the other party's weaknesses.
There is no doubt that the strange tree belongs to a tree spirit. It seems that to a tree spirit, normal injuries to them are just insignificant skin injuries. Only by destroying the core of the tree can serious harm be caused.
The tree core of the tree spirit is equivalent to the fusion of the Dantian and the sea of consciousness of the human monks, and is very important.
Taking advantage of the unparalleled advantage, Lu Zhong directly used his spiritual sense to explore and quickly determined the location of the core of the tree.
It's roughly one foot or three feet above the ground.
And this, the strange tree obviously didn't notice.
Divine consciousness is intangible and qualityless, and without its own spiritual consciousness to confront it, it usually cannot be discovered by conventional means.
On the strange tree side, after seeing through Lu Zhong's delaying intention, he stopped talking nonsense.
"die!"
Green light shot out, and roots and vines shot out from all directions. They were all the innate magical powers of the strange tree. They were obviously going to be strangled by Lu Zhong.
Lu Zhong responded calmly to this.
The Golden Devouring Sword and Magical Swordsmanship all came out, slashing at the incoming vines like leeks, and reopened the water pattern cover to block all the incoming green light.
At the same time, a spiritual ring in his hand flashed.
There was a "buzz" sound.
A rainbow-like beam of light shot out, spanning a distance of more than ten feet, and hit the core of the strange tree. The Wutu Sharp Wooden Spear was extremely sharp, and it directly surrounded the three people on the thick trunk of the tree, and directly penetrated them.
Immediately, its movements immediately stagnated.
Patta, pata, vines hanging down helplessly.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong did not relax his vigilance.
Carefully, I carefully explored it with my spiritual sense, and after confirming that only the wood spirit energy escaped from the core of the tree, and no trace of the existence of the soul could be sensed, I walked over.
After some searching, he finally got a fistful of tree core.
And a gold medal with the word "Huai Nu" engraved on the back, and a black palace pattern on the front.
"Follow the clues and you may be able to directly find the origin of the Black Lotus Pearl." Lu Zhong kept this idea in mind, and after confirming that he really couldn't find the strange tree storage bag, he found the correct direction and left.
Not long after he left, an ancient tree that had been controlled by a strange tree suddenly began to shake.
After a while, a "mini strange tree" rolled out, holding a colorful bag in its arms.
"The divine consciousness was born during the Qi refining period. He must be a genius of the human race. This child must not be kept!"
Huainu murmured to himself for a while, and soon the branches expanded and expanded, and the appearance changed drastically. After a while, he turned into a man wearing a bamboo hat, ready to go back and report the news.
At this time, a laugh came from behind Huai Nu.
But Lu Zhong, who had touched it back at some point, was looking at it with a smile on his face.
You have to be cautious when doing things. Lu Zhong always felt that killing the tree spirit was too easy, and it was not at all the strength that a spirit monster in the late stage of Qi Refining should have, so he thought more carefully and deceived the opponent as expected.
Huai Nu knew that he could not escape, so he immediately shut up and started fighting with Lu Zhong.
Lu Zhong possessed spiritual consciousness and had an absolute advantage in information. He killed Huainu in a short time and not only harvested its storage bag this time, but also a crystal tree core the size of a pigeon egg.
"Thousand-year-old tree core?"
He looked at the tree core in his hand, feeling a little unsure for a moment.
Putting it into a jade box and affixing a few talisman paper seals, Lu Zhong carefully put it into a storage bag and then checked the storage bag he had just received. He was immediately in for another huge surprise.
The value of the items in the bag is not high, the surprise comes from the storage bag itself.
"Tsk, tsk, a storage bag with a volume of fifteen square meters!"
There are three storage bags on Lu Zhong's body, and the total volume of them is only ten square meters. No wonder he is so happy.
Since he has been investing resources in cultivation, all the storage bags he carries are from confiscated small storage bags. He has been using them for several years, but he has long wanted to replace them with new ones, and now he finally got his wish.
There's nothing to say, just tie it on your body.
After doing this, he used his light body technique and rushed towards the sect.
After a while, out of caution, Lu Zhong turned back again.
Seeing that Huai Nu was really dead, he left with peace of mind.
…
Half a month later.
After some investigation, Lu Zhong learned about the origin of the black bead and the token pattern.
The first is the black bead.
As he had guessed before, this bead was indeed a low-grade spiritual weapon.
Spiritual weapons, like magic weapons, are also subdivided into lower, middle and upper grades. The difference between them lies in the number of magical powers. For example, the Black Dragon Bead, a low-grade spiritual weapon, has only one "Qi" magical power.
.
The magical power of absorbing energy can absorb spiritual energy into the beads to achieve the effect of increasing power.
As for why Lu Zhong's attempt to transfer spiritual energy failed, it is because the Black Lotus Bead can only hold one type of spiritual energy. If other spiritual energy is currently included in the bead, the transfer of spiritual energy will fail.
Once I understood the specific reason, I immediately had a solution.
Lu Zhong only needs to find a way to refining spiritual weapons and perform some ritual refining before he can use this black bead.
However, the biggest function of this bead is not to be used as a spiritual weapon, but to open one of the keys to a secret realm called "Shenyuan Palace". Having it is equivalent to having an entry quota.
According to calculations from the classics, the next opening of Shen Yuan Palace will be twenty years later.
Lu Zhong was very excited after reading the exploration record of Shen Yuan Palace in the classics. There were really many treasures in it, and he couldn't help but thought: "The secret realm will not be opened until twenty years later. Maybe by then I will have broken through to the foundation building stage.
Maybe we can go in and have a look at it then.”
But for now, the Black Lotus Pearl is still a trump card for him.
As long as the black bead is full of spiritual energy, it can still exert considerable power even if its cultivation level has not reached the foundation building stage. It may not be enough to fight against the foundation building monks, but against the monks in the qi refining stage, even if its cultivation level reaches the qi refining stage
The monks on the ninth level are definitely powerful weapons.
Therefore, Lu Zhong listed the search for sacrificial refining methods as his main goal in the near future.
Then there is the origin of the Sophora slave.
The gold medal found on it came from an ancient demonic force called the "Black Corpse Hall".
According to records in the classics, the Black Corpse Palace first appeared in Middle-earth. Over the passage of long years, it gradually spread to the entire world of cultivation. It is a demonic inheritance that is good at refining and raising corpses. It has caused many turbulent events.
Lu Zhong guessed that the demon cultivators in the three areas of Disaster Yongling, Yanling Mountain, and Lanyue most likely came from the Black Corpse Hall.
Even if they were not cultivated, it must be related to the techniques leaked from the Black Corpse Palace.
Regarding this information, Lu Zhong did not intend to hide it, but planned to report it.
As for how to repay, of course I have to borrow Master's advice.
Thinking of this, he changed his direction and walked towards the front mountain area.
On the way, I passed a martial arts arena, where many disciples were practicing. It looked like some kind of battle formation. A combined attack could smash even a dozen bluestones into pieces.
"Is this the power of the battle formation?" Lu Zhong remembered this scene in his heart.
After crossing a series of covered bridges, we soon arrived at the Master's Cave.
After waiting for a while, there was no response.
"Either going out, or in retreat." Lu Zhongbai had to go to the edge of the cliff, summoned the magic spirit wind to protect himself, and prepared to go to Wangxian Town at the foot of the mountain.
Yesterday Li Hejun asked someone to send a message, saying that he had something to ask for and asked to meet.
…
Wangxian Town, Printing Workshop.
"Tuk tuk..."
Lu Zhong was tapping his knuckles on the table in an irregular manner, showing that he was not at peace in his heart.
Moving his eyes towards Li Hejun, her appearance changed a lot.
The young girl she had seen before suddenly grew into a young woman. She seemed to have grown up by four or five years. It was estimated that after a while, her body might become a beauty.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The result of this came from a fruit she ate a few days ago.
"Has the opportunity arrived? Unfortunately, it is an opportunity that mortals cannot accept..."
There are not many such things. Many spiritual fruits are priceless treasures to monks, but if taken by mortals, they will have unpredictable and serious consequences. The most common one is death by body explosion.
According to Li Hejun, when she saw the fruit that day, she seemed to be controlled. She couldn't help but have a strong desire in her heart. She lost all her usual caution and swallowed the fruit in one fell swoop.
I don’t care whether her words are true or false.
Lu Zhong checked it with his spiritual sense and confirmed that there was nothing unusual about Li Hejun's soul. Her current situation has greatly accelerated her growth rate, which is roughly ten times the normal level. Calculated based on the average life span of a mortal, she might not be able to live for even ten years.
No.
"If this thing is eaten by a spiritual beast, it will definitely be a good treasure that affects the sect's luck."
But now, it has become a deadly poison.
Taking a look at Li Hejun, the latter noticed his gaze, his cheeks turned red, and he lowered his head shyly, not daring to look at her.
As expected, he is a mortal who only knows how to reproduce!
If Li Hejun knew what he had just thought, he would be panicked.
To be honest, for a moment, he really wanted to use her to refine her alive. In this way, he might be able to refine a lot of spiritual fruit medicine, and then give it to a cub with great growth potential. It is very likely to cultivate a
An extremely powerful spiritual beast.
Using this as a guardian spirit beast will ensure a smooth future for you.
If you do this, you have a good chance of success.
After thinking about it carefully, Lu Zhong decided to give up.
He is not a cold-blooded person, and Li Hejun has helped him a lot. There is hard work without credit. Before he made a mistake, he still couldn't do such a cold-blooded thing.
"Well, how about tempting her to make a mistake..."
As soon as this thought came out, Lu Zhong's expression suddenly changed.
broken!
He immediately realized that something was wrong with his state of mind.
