The puppet entered the village and received a warm welcome.
The reception venue is the ancestral hall, where tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks have already been set up.
The mellow rice wine brewed by the farmer and the fresh delicacies from the mountains and rivers were all held in wooden trays by the village women and brought to Lu Zhong.
In the middle of the banquet, Xu Changfu picked up a sea bowl, stood up and said loudly: "Come on, let's toast Master Lu Xian first!"
"Respect Immortal Master Lu!"
The villagers looked at the puppet with envy.
In the country of Shidong, immortal cultivators are often seen in the world, so any elderly mortal has witnessed the sight of an immortal master once or twice, and even knows that if he is destined to be an immortal, he can embark on the journey to find an immortal.
Ask for the road to immortality and live a happy and free fairy life from now on.
Instead of being an ignorant mortal like now.
Now that Immortal Master Lu has appeared, many villagers feel that their destiny has arrived, and they are all thinking in their hearts about how they can obtain this once-in-a-lifetime destiny for themselves or their children.
Observing everyone's expressions in his eyes, Lu Zhong couldn't help but recall the process of his predecessor entering the world of cultivation.
Come to think of it, the process is really similar.
In front of the delicious food, Lu Zhong, as a puppet, couldn't eat or drink without any taste. Looking at the villagers feasting, he couldn't help but wonder whether to improve the spirit puppet, at least so that it could convey the sense of taste.
But soon he started laughing in his heart. He was just a layman in the way of puppeteering. Where did he get the ability to improve?
The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.
At this time, Xu Changfu bowed out of the queue and clapped his hands.
Immediately, a line of girls of varying quality walked in from the door holding red cloth trays.
After uncovering the red cloth, in addition to some medicinal herbs, there are actually many valuable things, such as spiritual stone ore that has kept up with the age of the elixir.
Lu Zhong made an estimate and found that there were about ten spiritual stones in total.
If it were an ordinary casual cultivator, he might be in full bloom at this moment.
He smiled secretly in his heart, but knowingly asked: "Village Chief Xu, what do you mean?"
"Master Lu, please grant me immortality!" Xu Changfu said while kneeling on the ground.
Behind him, a group of villagers also came out and knelt on the ground.
…
At the same time, a secret place outside the village.
Two men wearing black robes and bulging bodies appeared.
The two people looked in the direction of the Shuihuan Village Ancestral Hall, looking at the villagers who went up one by one to test their spiritual roots. One of them suddenly sneered and said with disdain in his words: "The disciples of Heling Sect are nothing more than that, they only have a few belongings.
, you can buy it off.”
The voice of the person speaking had a strange accent, as if it were made up of two mouths, making it difficult to distinguish between male and female.
After hearing this, the man next to him showed contempt in his eyes, and suggested in an old voice: "Since the person here is a waste, how about killing him directly to avoid disturbing the Holy Cult's plan?"
"Inappropriate!" The man with a male-female voice said disapprovingly.
Then, the man shook his head and explained, "The wine sack and rice bag has the value of the wine sack and rice bag. Why don't we keep it like this for the time being, lest the Heling Sect see something happened to the disciple and send the foundation-building cultivator from the sect to check. If it is really affected by this,
If you fail the Holy Religion’s plan, you and I will be entirely responsible for our death!”
"Guardian Zuo, this subordinate didn't think carefully enough!" The man next to him quickly said with his hands in hand.
It's just that he is different from ordinary people. He has not only one pair of arms stretched out from under his black robe, but three pairs of arms.
"Okay, according to my previous arrangement, there should be no change in the hidden people in the village. Just live a normal life as before, so as not to cause trouble." The man in black robe, known as the Zuo Guardian, ordered his subordinates.
"For the Holy Religion!" The man in black robe lowered his voice and shouted a fanatical slogan.
"Well, for the Holy Religion!"
However, the two of them did not know that this scene was seen by a pair of eyes next to them.
For the sake of caution, Lu Zhong decided to do some exploration around Shuihuan Village. He walked around in silence, but he never expected to meet these two people. After hearing the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but secretly laugh.
The two sides actually thought of it together!
…
Here at the Spirit-Sending Puppet, I just checked the spiritual root qualifications for the villagers.
Since it is only to determine the presence or absence of spiritual roots, there is no need to use spirit-measuring talisman or spirit-measuring plate. You only need to use the "Blood Sacrifice Mixing Spirit Method" in a flexible way, and observe the reaction speed of blood essence and spirit stone to initially judge the qualifications.
The result was no surprise: not a single villager in the village had spiritual roots.
Xu Changfu seemed to be well aware of this result. He kept saying words of regret and his expression was very regretful, making it look like he was really acting.
After accepting the benefits and exchanging pleasantries, Lu Zhong asked for a rest.
If ordinary people said this in broad daylight, they would definitely be thought to be sick.
But when it comes to Master Lu, it gives people another understanding.
"Haha, he is really anxious!" Xu Changfu smiled on the outside, but he was scornful in his heart.
Just now, he saw Lu Zhong's eyes constantly wandering around the girls in the village, so he revealed in his words that he wanted a few girls to go over and sleep with him, and Master Lu Xian immediately agreed.
Now it seems that it is obvious that he can't wait to do the thing of announcing the silver in daylight.
…
Lu Zhong's body was following two men in black robes.
Regardless of whether you decide to intervene later, it is extremely necessary to know the location of the Amputee Cult stronghold, so that you can advance, attack, retreat, and defend, instead of being like a headless fly without knowing anything.
Suddenly, his face looked strange.
But on the side of the spirit puppet, the fake show is really going on.
"Tsk, tsk, since they are puppets, then they are following Mr. Jiao..."
Shaking his head and smiling, Lu Zhong temporarily cut off his perception so as not to interfere with his main body's actions.
After crossing a stream and a gorge for a while, and walking for a long time in the dense forest filled with mountain mist, the two men in black robes soon came to an unremarkable mountain wall. Then they did not know what they did, and their bodies sank directly into it and disappeared.
Without a trace.
Lu Zhong kept changing his position to avoid the detection of the surrounding limb-repairing sect's secret sentries, and fixed his gaze on the mountain wall.
"It seems that the stronghold of the Limb Sect is right here!"
After achieving his goal, Lu Zhong had no intention of conflict with the limb-repairing cult and decided to retreat.
Don't bother me, just hello to me and everyone, no need to get into trouble.
If the master really sends a helping hand and decides to investigate the matter in detail, he has the merit of controlling the limb-sect stronghold, so he doesn't have to worry about any punishment.
If not, that's even better.
In this way, he can spend these three years peacefully.
Just as he lifted his feet, he saw another group of monks arriving.
Interestingly, there was someone he knew in the team. It was the same team of monks he had seen in Wei'er City before. The woman in black who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining was also in the team at the moment.
Perhaps because they felt they had reached a safe place, someone in the team started talking.
The gentle mountain breeze carried the sound to Lu Zhong's side, which was downwind.
The sound was intermittent and I could only hear a rough outline.
"..."
Unfortunately, the sound was really blurry, and Lu Zhong had never practiced the art of hearing. He only knew that it was a matter of family revenge, but he had no idea who he was seeking revenge from.
Keeping this in mind, Lu Zhong slowly retreated.
Returning to the temporarily opened cave outside Shuihuan Village, he laid out the spirit gathering array he brought with him, and then placed pieces of spirit stones into the grooves. The concentration of spiritual energy in the cave was greatly increased, and it was no less than that of the Heling Sect.
Inside the mountain gate.
Practicing in a place like this will not slow down your progress much.
Perhaps due to his arrival, Shuihuan Village suddenly became calm.
…
Time passes day by day, and in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
The mountain flowers have faded and bloomed again, it is spring in March.
In the cave, Lu Zhong was sitting cross-legged, muttering something in his mouth, his hands constantly changing the seals, and the spiritual energy in his body rising and falling, and he was practicing the "Yuan Gathering Method" given by his master Shui Ni.
This method can increase the success rate of foundation building, so he is very interested in this method.
After a few breaths, he dispersed his spiritual power and smiled bitterly.
"This Yuan Gathering Method is really difficult, isn't it?"
According to this method, it is necessary to condense the vitality seeds in the one hundred and eight orifices of the body. He thought that this was just a grinding effort, but who would have expected that after spending more than half a year, he could not condense even one.
out.
"Forget it, let's practice the flying star inheritance spell first."
Lu Zhong shook his head and decided not to dwell on the matter.
Unlike the lack of progress in the Yuan Gathering Method, his progress in the Flying Star inheritance can be said to be very gratifying.
At present, he has mastered the flying star air entrainment technique.
In practice, he was surprised to find that the Flying Star Air Entrainment Technique was not only effective on the Flying Star inherited spells, but also had a certain amplifying effect on non-inherited spells such as the Breath Condensation Technique and the Clear Yang Fire and Rain Technique.
Compared with the Amplified Flying Star inheritance spell, the effect is only greatly reduced.
"It turns out that one plus one may really equal five! It is precisely because of inherited spells such as the Flying Star Air Conduction Technique that the power of the sect and family monks will become inevitable."
Closing his eyes and concentrating, Lu Zhong quickly entered the gray mist space.
After some careful sorting, he had sorted out the entire Feixing inheritance, and it was now in the gray mist space, with rows of bookshelves, where all the contents of the Qi Refining Chapter were located.
"What should I learn next?" Lu Zhong looked at the volumes of inherited classics and fell into deep thought.
Lu Zhong has always believed that there is no strongest spell, only the most suitable spell.
For now, the main threat he faces comes from the body cult.
Although Ansheng had lived in peace for more than half a year, Lu Zhong, who had been monitoring the Jieju Cult, discovered that in recent years, more and more casual cultivators had joined the Cult. Perhaps it was due to the increase in strength that they were no longer as restrained in their behavior as before. This is reflected in
Xu Changfu of Shuihuan Village repeatedly rejected requests for soul-sending puppets.
"If I didn't want to be thorough and pretend to be a greedy and lustful sect disciple, why would I have made the request five times?"
Lu Zhong thought of this and decided to choose an inherited spell that could restrain the limb-joining cult.
"It's decided, it's you!"
He fixed his gaze on a certain place on the bookshelf, and as soon as he thought about it, a spell book flew towards him.
"Flying Star Return Technique" is one of the core spells of Flying Star inheritance.
This technique is a type of counterspell. It can form a spell counterforce field, which can convert incoming spells into extremely penetrating star stream beams, and then return them to the opponent.
This technique has an upper limit for conversion, and the timing of casting must be in place to obtain the ideal return effect. Even so, it is still an excellent spell to restrain the limb-replacing cult. After all, as far as Lu Zhong has seen so far, the limb-replacing cult has gained
The biggest benefit is the improvement in spell casting ability.
After a pause, Lu Zhong looked at a spell book on the bookshelf.
"Flying Star Parallel Technique" is also the core spell of Feixing inheritance.
This spell book is the key to the Feixing inheritance to achieve multiple spell casting. The principle is literally parallel casting. After practicing this spell, you can gain the ability to cast spells in parallel.
"Forget it, it's difficult to practice the Scattered Star Technique. I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it even if I invest three to five years in it." Lu Zhong thought about it again and again, and decided to give up practicing this technique for the time being.
Normally, this technique should be relatively easy to master during the foundation building stage.
Wanting to master it in advance requires extremely high levels of understanding.
Lu Zhong knew his own situation very well and knew that practice made perfect. The reason why he learned spells so quickly was inseparable from long-term practice and the help of scene recall.
As soon as I thought about it, I quickly returned to reality.
Recalling the contents of the Flying Star Return Technique, Lu Zhong began to practice it.
The difficulty of this technique mainly lies in the construction of the counter force field.
Fortunately, the inheritance contains many training experiences left by the seniors of the sect, and there are many tips among them, which can help to build a counter force field and reduce the difficulty of learning the Flying Star Return Technique in disguise.
"This is the most precious thing in inheritance!" Lu Zhong realized in his heart.
It is the inheritance of this knowledge that makes the sect stronger from generation to generation.
Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, he devoted all his attention to the practice of the Flying Star Return Technique.
…
Time passed day by day, and the spirit puppet still maintained a life of debauchery, and took the trouble to ask Xu Changfu to replace him with several young and beautiful women to sleep with him.
After all, the first few people who had been "playing" for so long were already tired of it.
Furthermore, she is a mortal woman after all and cannot withstand the torment of a monk.
Finally, as if unable to resist the pressure of the immortal master, Xu Changfu actually found two beauties.
I have to say that the goods this time are extraordinary.
Even with the critical eyes of the monks, these two women can be regarded as stunningly beautiful. Whether it is their graceful and delicate figures or their charming and flirtatious eyebrows, they are absolutely stunning in the world.
"Of course, it would be better if these two people were not limb-replacing cultists and did not poison the spirit puppets..."
Lu Zhong relied on remote monitoring and had already noticed that the spirit puppet had been infected with various toxins.
There are spirit-transforming poisons that reduce spiritual power, as well as weak-body poisons that weaken the body. Now, there is also a lustful poison on the female cultists. It is obvious that the limb-sect cult has always been on guard and will not give up until the threat is extinguished.
"Haha, you are really vigilant!" Lu Zhong secretly laughed, thinking that he had indeed made a wonderful move by sending the spirit-carrying puppet into the village. Otherwise, he would have been in a lot of trouble if he wanted to deal with it at this time.
The limb-replacing cultivator probably didn't realize that he was poisoning a puppet, and all his good plans came to nothing.
As long as it is not poisonous to the soul, the spirit puppet has nothing to fear.
With this thought in his mind, Lu Zhong was thinking whether he should explore the land of opportunity mentioned by Shui Ni. Maybe there really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity there.
Suddenly, he moved his eyes towards the door of the cave and found a red-feathered bird there.
"Hey, second-level messenger bird, it seems that the master has received a reply."
Lu Zhong stood up quickly. He really didn't dare to neglect this faith bird. The first-level faith bird was just fine. Among all the birds in the Heling Sect, the second-order faith bird was definitely the ancestor of the bird.
A lot of grandchildren.
Once you are offended, you will not be able to rent a spiritual bird in the poultry house in the future.
Turning his hands and taking out the spiritual fruit he had picked out a few days ago, Lu Zhong was able to remove a jade plaque from the trust bird. It looked similar to the texture of a jade slip, but after immersing his spiritual consciousness in it, no information was revealed.
After taking a closer look, I discovered that the surface of the jade plaque was actually covered with prohibitions, and there was a line of small words next to it.
"Combine it with the identity card, and the ban will be released?"
With these words in his mouth, he took out his identity tag and attached it to the jade tag.
A wave of light circulated, and the restrictions on the surface of the jade tablet were dissolved.
Then he immersed his spiritual consciousness into the jade tablet, and immediately received an order. The order was a bit high, but it actually came from the ancestor of Qiongtai, ordering Lu Zhong to find out the details of the limb-joining sect and prepare for the next annihilation operation.
"Sure enough, the three ancestors couldn't help but feel ashamed. When they learned of the existence of the Jieji Cult, they immediately issued an order to eradicate it." Lu Zhong put the jade token into his storage bag and thought carefully about how to complete the task.
Since we want to find out the details, we can't just fool around.
After much thought, he decided to start with the two female church members with limbs.
Judging from the recent behavior of the two girls, the limb-repairing cult may not be able to endure it for much longer, and will probably take action against the spirit-resident puppets in the next few days.
"No, these two women increased the dosage of the medicine in the afternoon. I'm afraid they will do it tonight!"
Considering this, Lu Zhong decided to go to Shuihuan Village tonight.
"Chirping!" came the chirping of birds.
When I looked up, it was a letter bird calling.
"It's true that a bird relies on human strength!" Lu Zhong complained in his heart, thinking that this second-level trust bird relied on the protection of the ancestor of the sect, and acted really arrogantly, always asking for benefits within the limit.
No matter what, I'll leave it all to you.
After giving out all the sour and astringent spirit fruits in the storage bag, the bird was very happy to eat them. Lu Zhong almost doubted whether his sense of taste was wrong and took two big mouthfuls of the stewed spirit toad meat.
, then I realized that people and birds have different tastes.
Humph, he is indeed a flat-haired beast, he doesn’t even know what delicious food is!
…
As night fell, Lu Zhong appeared in Shuihuan Village.
At this time, he not only used the "Breathing Condensation Technique" and "Concealment Technique", two spells that hide the breath and reduce the sense of presence, but also used the Flying Star Air Conduction Technique that he had just mastered, so that the effect of Condensation and Concealment was achieved.
After a lot of improvement, only monks with foundation-building cultivation and above can possibly discover him at this time.
With the help of his increasingly proficient scene retrieval, he easily avoided all sight lines along the way. As if he were in a deserted place, he quietly arrived at the resting place of the spirit puppet without anyone noticing.
At this time, Lu Zhong suddenly stopped and looked forward.
"Uh huh huh..."
In the room, female voices kept coming intermittently.
The spirit puppet is still executing Lu Zhong's orders. It is tireless and will never stop until midnight.
In the shadows not far away, there were three voices lurking.
"Bah, pig and cabbage!"
One of them cursed angrily.
"It's just that it's rare to recruit two beautiful female cultists, but I never thought of taking advantage of this waste!" Another person agreed, obviously very dissatisfied with the two beautiful girls who were occupied by Heling Sect disciples inside.
Why were their blood boiling when they heard it outside, and why did they let a sect loser hug him from left to right?
"Shut up!" A female voice sounded from the side.
Gu Ximei suppressed the charming thoughts in her heart, interrupted the conversation between the two subordinates, and scolded in a low voice: "The person who is about to die, do you still care what he does? Later, in the process of subduing this person, if something happens It's wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Stop talking nonsense, follow me now to capture this body. Don't miss the best limb materials..."
"Yes!" The two limb-repairing cultists responded calmly.
Separated by several walls, Lu Zhong listened to the conversation between the three of them word for word.
"Oh, you really came to the right place!"
As he expected, the limb-repairing teacher chose to take action tonight.
A sword fell from each sleeve, and Lu Zhong followed quietly, preparing to catch the three people in front of him by surprise.
Among the three people, the two subordinates were only at the third or fourth level of the middle stage of Qi refining, so they were presumably minions.
The female cultivator with the highest cultivation level is the one with the seventh level of Qi refining. If she can be successfully captured and interrogated, she might be able to get the information she wants.
After entering the mansion for the third time, the spirit-resident puppet was still faithfully executing its orders, and a sultry voice kept coming from the room.
Gu Ximei sneaked into the room with two of her subordinates, swung a hand knife, and prepared to knock out the target on the bed.
But after taking action, I realized that the feel was obviously wrong.
"I was deceived and was a puppet!"
Despicable, shameless, and obscene!
As soon as these thoughts came into Gu Ximei's mind, she saw two streams of light flying past.
The two limb-refining cultists who were in the middle stage of Qi refining were both decapitated by a single blow from the sword. At the same time, the soul-inhabiting puppet on the bed made a move and strangled the two female cultists to death.
The four of them were in pairs, so they could become husband and wife on Huangquan Road, so forget it and thought about it beforehand.
"If I were you, I would remain motionless."
A cold male voice sounded in Gu Ximei's ears.
At the same time, a golden sword touched her neck, leaving a bloody mark.
Gu Ximei was very sure that if she made another move, she would really follow in the footsteps of her two subordinates.
Thinking of the blood feud she shouldered, she gave up her resistance.
With a "pop!" sound, an ink-colored bead was knocked out of his hand. It fell to the ground and rolled around. It was picked up by a magic hand. After some inspection, it was handed to a young man.
"Oh, Uleizhu!"
Lu Zhong looked at Gu Ximei with a sneer. This girl was indeed the legitimate daughter of the exterminated Zhuji family. She was so skinny that a camel was bigger than a horse. She even had a thunder bead worth a thousand spiritual stones.
This bead is so powerful that it can even hurt foundation-building monks, let alone those in the Qi-refining stage. Once it comes in contact with it, it will cause death or injury.
"This bead may come in handy in the future."
Lu Zhong checked it again to confirm that there was no backhand left on it, and then he put it into the storage bag.
Then, he placed several restrictions on the captive, sealing her Dantian.
In this way, unless you master the secret technique, you will never be able to turn around.
"I ask, you answer!"
"No problem!" Gu Ximei said resignedly.
Lu Zhong was greatly surprised by the other party's cooperation, but when he thought of the other party's revenge background, it suddenly seemed reasonable. After all, hatred is enough to blind everything.
If you take advantage of this, you might be able to really drive this woman.
"But that's not the point now..." Lu Zhong put aside his distracting thoughts.
After some careful questions and answers, I really got a lot of useful information.
