Back at the Bamboo House, Lu Zhong quickly completed the memory rubbing.
After some selection, we carefully and thoughtfully dealt with the places that might expose the traceback of the scene. Only after we were sure that there would be no problems, we put the secret photo orb away.
After thinking for a moment, he walked to the edge of the cliff and jumped down.
Soon we arrived at Wangxian Town.
In normal wars, the mountain gate of Heling Sect has not been attacked, and Wangxian Town at the foot of the mountain has also received a lot of glory. Judging from what Lu Zhong saw, it is as peaceful as before.
The only change is that many monks have taken refuge in the town.
We walked through the streets and alleys to the printing workshop, where production was still in full swing.
Pages of storybooks are being printed, bound into volumes, and handed over to the caravan waiting outside.
"Master, are you back?"
A voice of surprise came from the workshop.
Li Hejun's eyes were slightly red, and he rushed out with a few steps and ran into Lu Zhong's arms.
After appeasing her, Lu Zhong looked at the caravans and said, "Did you entrust the storybooks to the caravans for sale?"
"Yes, sir, please forgive Mr. He for making arbitrary opinions!" Li Hejun wiped away tears from the corners of his eyes and explained: "Affected by the war between the three sects, the trade routes in the Yongling area were cut off. Now only caravans can carry out normal trade. Mr. He cannot
I dare to delay the master's money-making plan, so I can only entrust the caravan to sell it for the time being."
"No, in extraordinary times, you acted cheaply, and you did a good job!"
Lu Zhong walked towards the depths of the workshop, followed closely by Li Hejun.
After passing the rumbling hydraulic printing presses, the two came to the quiet backyard full of flowers and plants.
The water flows and the lotus leaves are fragrant.
"Gudongdong..."
A pot of spiritual tea is brewed quickly.
While sipping tea, Li Hejun took the initiative to report on his recent income and expenditure as usual.
Affected by the War of the Three Sects, the sales of storybooks were seriously affected. At the lowest point, they could not even earn a hundred spirit stones a month. Even if they were later entrusted to caravans for sale, due to the high consignment fees, the net monthly
Profits are not optimistic either.
After half a year, the net profit earned was only 7,531 spiritual stones.
For ordinary monks, this is definitely a huge profit.
But as far as Lu Zhong is concerned, it is a little lacking.
Fortunately, a batch of loot was seized at the Xiaoyuan Valley Mine.
After the ore ingots snatched away by the monks from the two sects were snatched back by Lu Zhong and other monks, the ownership undoubtedly belonged to the individual. This is also a long-standing rule in the world of cultivation.
Instead of forcibly withdrawing it and alienating the disciples within the sect, it is better to use it as an incentive so that the disciples can have more motivation when competing for resource points.
After all, compared to the huge value of the mine, the value of some ore ingots is actually only a drop in the bucket.
"If you calculate it carefully, I now have more than 60,000 spiritual stones. Adding these more than 7,000 spiritual stones and the harvest from Xiaoyuan Valley Mine, I can barely buy three Foundation Establishment Pills."
It's not like Lu Zhong didn't know, but he was shocked when he figured it out.
Unknowingly, the three spiritual stones of the Foundation Establishment Pill were enough?
"It's just that since I have four spiritual roots, the chance of breaking through the foundation building stage is pitifully low. I still need to prepare one or two more foundation building pills as backup. In this case, I need at least five foundation building pills to be safe."
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly noticed a keen gaze.
However, Li Hejun next to him had already turned his eyes as coquettishly as silk, with an expression full of expectation.
…
afterwards.
Lu Zhong handed Li Hejun a bottle of elixir.
"Master, what is this?" Li Hejun, who was only wearing gauze clothes, took it in surprise and asked curiously.
"Yan Yang Dan." Lu Zhong said without turning around.
He found this elixir from the storage bag of a Jinhong Sect disciple. It is a rare elixir with beauty-preserving effects. Each pill has a market value of nearly a hundred spirit stones. Long-term use can even achieve a beauty-preserving effect. Every time he appears in this world,
It will attract the nuns to rush for it.
Hearing the effect of the elixir in the bottle, Li Hejun couldn't help but be stunned.
Time flies and years grow old.
As a mortal, she is even more worried about her aging appearance.
Once a woman reaches the peak of her beauty, she will continue to decline thereafter. Even if the beauty skills are practiced to a high level, they can only slow down the aging effect, which is not as good as the beauty elixir.
Another unsolicited invitation.
…
an early closure.
Lu Zhong came out of the room but did not leave immediately.
Sitting by the flowing river, I sipped tea carefully and took out a magic book to read.
In a clump of rosettes in the distance, two gray shadows, one fat and one thin, lowered their bodies.
"This is Lu Zhong, following the plan?" said the thinner gray figure.
"No, let's wait until he leaves before we take action!" The fat and wide gray shadow shook his head, his peach blossom eyes narrowed into a line and said: "Hey, maybe kidnapping that mortal will have unexpected effects."
"It's up to you. If the plan goes wrong anyway, you will be the one who suffers." The thinner figure did not object.
Soon, Lu Zhong drank a cup of spiritual tea and walked towards Wangxian Town.
At the same time, two gray figures confirmed that the target had left, quietly came out of the hiding place, turned into two waves of black energy, and fell into Li Hejun's boudoir.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed!
The two strands of black energy go in faster and come out faster.
After falling to the ground, two figures in gray clothes soon appeared, one man and one woman, one fat and one thin.
"You, didn't you leave?" the fat man in gray said in shock.
"Humph!" Lu Zhong sneered, not bothering to explain to him.
It was just a distance across the river, and the malice in his heart was undisguised, so he discovered the two of them when they appeared, otherwise the matter between the two would not have ended prematurely.
With the help of scene retrieval, it was even easier to know the two people's plans.
After a little trick, they were fooled.
Glancing at the two of them, Lu Zhong held the entropy light gun and said with a cold face: "Let's play a question and answer game. I ask and you answer. If there is any mismatch, you know the consequences."
"I...ahhhh!"
The fat man was about to retort when he was immediately stabbed in the thigh by the entropy light gun.
The billowing demonic energy was instantly ignited and turned into wisps of golden flames.
When the other person saw this, he didn't dare to hesitate and nodded in agreement.
When the fat man's screams subsided, Lu Zhong removed the entropy light gun and said: "Remember, the initiative is in my hands now, you don't have to ask for trouble."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Origin?"
"Black Corpse Hall." The two said in unison.
"You're too slow!"
Lu Zhong stared at the fat man with cold eyes, and stabbed out the entropy light gun in his hand without hesitation.
There was another scream, and it stopped after half a quarter of an hour.
This time, the two of them had no luck and answered all questions.
…
According to the two accounts, they came under the orders of Chen Jiangnu with the purpose of luring Lu Zhong outside Wangxian Town. As for the specific purpose, Chen Jiangnu did not explain clearly.
After Lu Zhong confirmed that the two of them were not lying, he killed the fat monk from the Black Corpse Hall with one sword.
As for the other female cultivator, he still has use for it.
Standing where he was, Lu Zhong felt uncertain for a while.
"I didn't expect that Chen Jiangnu would actually set her sights on me."
It's just a matter of revenge for killing a disciple, plus knowing the identity of the other party, so logically speaking, it shouldn't be to this extent.
Sure enough, is this the magic cultivator?
Extremely paranoid, almost pathological.
"Maybe this is a good opportunity!" Lu Zhong thought to himself.
The two of them had just explained where they wanted to lead them.
Chen Jiangnu's arrangement was naturally not without purpose. She might be hiding nearby right now. After all, if she wanted to vent her emotions, it would be most satisfying to do it herself.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong changed his clothes and went to Wangxian Town Poultry House to rent a red-tailed eagle.
He was going to ask Shui Ni to take action and get rid of Chen Jiangnu.
Shui Ni has been in the cave recently, and Lu Zhong knows this very well.
When I arrived at Shuini Cave Mansion, I was received as expected.
He narrated what had just happened. After hearing this, Shui Ni showed interest, stood up and said with a smile: "This is an opportunity. If we can really kill Chen Jiangnu, there will be a lot of benefits..."
Regarding the Black Corpse Palace, the Lingyue Sect has issued a lot of rewards.
Not to mention the palace masters who have achieved alchemy cultivation, the many saints below each have a lot of bonuses, the amount is so high that even the foundation-building monks can't help but be tempted when they see it.
"You accept this Golden Palace Secret Talisman, and it will be up to you to lure Chen Jiangnu out later."
Lu Zhong took the jade talisman and said yes.
With this secret golden talisman, he can at least withstand ten attacks from the foundation-building monks. It is not a dangerous thing to be the bait, so there is no reason not to agree.
…
Ten miles east of Wangxian Town is Wangxian Pavilion.
Lu Zhong rushed here in a hurry and saw a charming woman sitting in the pavilion.
The woman is dressed in red, and her figure is quite graceful. She does not need to be much different from the most beautiful person in the world. Especially, although her face is distorted, there are still faint traces of sunset geese in the past.
If you look carefully, who else could it be if it wasn't Chen Jiangnu?
"this……"
This encounter was completely beyond Lu Zhong's expectations.
Normally speaking, Chen Jiangnu should be hiding somewhere nearby, and only after making sure that Lu Zhong's appearance is okay, would she show up and take action, instead of just sitting there carelessly.
"Grrr, grrrr!" Chen Jiangnu laughed, as if she was crazy.
She looked at Lu Zhong and said with madness in her voice: "Very good, you are indeed here!"
When she said this, Chen Jiangnv moved her gaze behind Lu Zhong, where a ray of light was flying towards her very quickly, and it was Shui Ni who was coming very quickly.
Looking back at Lu Zhong, he had already withdrawn and flew away.
Now that the target has been drawn out, Lu Zhong naturally has no need to stay.
Chen Jiangnu is only in the middle stage of foundation building, and is much weaker than Shui Ni, who is in the late stage of foundation building. There is a big gap in her escape speed. It can be said that there is almost no possibility of escape.
"Want to escape?" Chen Jiangnu showed a strange smile.
When he turned his delicate hand, a blood-colored thorn suddenly appeared. Judging from the fluctuations of spiritual energy emitted from it, it was clearly a spiritual weapon.
Moreover, it seems that the grade is not low.
"Taste the power of my execution whip!" Chen Jiangnu shook the magic weapon in her hand, and the execution whip immediately erupted with scarlet blood, and suddenly stretched out dozens or hundreds of red lines, covering Lu Zhong.
But at this moment, a phantom of a fire phoenix fell!
Fire Phoenix Phantom is a second-level spell. As soon as it touches those red threads, it explodes immediately, forming a huge wave of flames. After defeating all the red threads, it continues to cover Chen Jiangnu.
In mid-air, Shui Ni's figure fluttered and stood, letting out a silvery bell-like laughter and saying: "Giggle, you witch is really uncultured. If you want to touch Lu Zhong's good disciple, you must first ask me, your master!"
"Keke, I won't ask!" Chen Jiangnv laughed darkly from underneath.
Smiling, she pointed the punishment whip at Lu Zhong and said madly: "Your apprentice killed my apprentice. As a master, revenge is a matter of course, so why should I interfere?"
"Tsk, tsk, are you out of your mind?" Shui Ni sneered.
A golden light flashed through her eyes, and a look of understanding appeared in her eyes. She said with a rare sneer: "It turns out that she practiced the law of chaotic emotions of the devil. No wonder she became like this just because her disciple died!"
As a high-ranking member of the Heling Sect, Shui Ni has a very detailed knowledge of the Heavenly Demon's Chaotic Love Law.
The process of practicing this magic skill can only be described as "the world is really chaotic", and the more chaotic the better.
Focus on the word "chaos".
The demon cultivator that Lu Zhong killed was probably extremely important to Chen Jiangnu. After her accidental death, she had a serious impact on herself, and she was considered to have suffered a backlash from her martial arts.
A situation like this can only be solved by accepting Lu Zhong as his disciple.
Just, is it possible?
Shui Ni chuckled lightly, turned over his hand and took out a golden and red flag.
Lu Zhong, who was standing next to him, was secretly surprised when he saw this. This was a high-grade spiritual weapon called "Yang Yan Flag". It had a very rare fire-yang attribute and could be said to be a weapon dedicated to defeating demonic cultivators.
Thinking of Shui Ni's devotion to magic cultivation, he not only guessed the origin of the spiritual weapon.
While thinking, Shui Ni was already fighting with Chen Jiangnu.
After more than ten rounds, Chen Jiangnu was knocked out, and the execution whip fell into Shui Ni's hands.
The Yang Yan flag waved, and a pillar of golden and red fire quickly condensed. She waved it and fell on Chen Jiangnu. In an instant, the billowing demonic energy was ignited, and the surrounding scenery was coated with a layer of golden light.
After a few wails came from the flames, there was no more movement.
"Interesting..." The golden light in his eyes dissipated, and a look of surprise appeared on Shui Ni's face.
Her eyes moved towards Lu Zhong, who was leaning over. Her face showed a gentle smile as usual, and said: "My good disciple, you did a good job this time. Afterwards, the Lingyue Sect's reward will be given to you, and I will share it with you."
of."
"Thank you, Master!" Lu Zhong saluted respectfully.
After getting along with her for such a long time, he also had a good understanding of Shui Ni's temperament.
For something like this, she must divide it after she said it. If she refused rashly, it would definitely cause displeasure. That's why he agreed so quickly.
When the flames subsided, Lu Zhong took the initiative to walk over and try to find the loot inside.
She had only taken two steps when she was interrupted by Shui Ni. She shook her head and said, "There's no need to look for it. There's nothing inside."
Seeing Lu Zhong's puzzled look, Shui Ni explained: "Chen Jiangnu has practiced a secret magic technique. I can't tell you the specific secret technique. My dear disciple, as long as you know that she is not dead,
Well, the other thing is that she won’t be able to trouble you in a short period of time.”
"Yes." Lu Zhong said yes with his hands raised.
When this happened, a big stone finally fell from his heart.
Since Shui Ni said nothing would happen for a short time, there should be no need to worry.
Thinking of something, Lu Zhong cupped his hands towards Shui Ni and said, "Disciple, I have something to ask."
"Say it." Shui Ni was in a good mood and didn't mind answering his apprentice's questions.
"It's about seizing the body..."
Before Lu Zhong could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Shui Ni. She gave Lu Zhong a meaningful look, looked up at the sky and said, "Give up that idea. Although this is not Middle-earth, seizing a body is still an unforgivable felony. In addition,
I guess the purpose of your asking this is for that mortal woman, right?"
"I can only tell you that there has never been a successful case of a mortal taking the body of a monk from ancient times to the present."
