After listening to Gu Ximei's confession, Lu Zhong's expression changed constantly, from calm and calm at first, to shock and surprise, and finally fell into deep silence.
Glancing at Gu Ximei in the corner, he asked in a deep voice: "How dare you swear on the last news you told me!"
It wasn't that Lu Zhong couldn't tell the truth from the truth, it was just that the facts the other party said were so shocking that it was unbelievable. After all, no one could calm down when they heard that the Yuanying Sect was attacking the Heling Sect.
And the Body-joining Cult is just a force cultivated by that sect.
This scene seems a bit familiar. It is very similar to the method used by Wulingmen to seize Qingliufang City with the help of demon cultivators and finally destroy Qingyangmen. There is really nothing new in the world.
With the Nascent Soul Sect’s strong support behind it, the possibility of Heling Sect resisting the invasion of the Limb Sect is extremely low.
"I've finished my oath, can fellow Taoist let me go?" Gu Ximei said after taking the oath, looking at Lu Zhong.
The only purpose of her life now is to avenge the genocide.
So you can't die before taking revenge.
Lu Zhongzheng was worried about the matter of the limb-repairing cult. He couldn't help but get angry when he heard this. He sneered and said: "People are like swordsmen and I am like fish and meat. I think you can't understand this truth. The world is bustling for profit and gain, unless Tao
You can come up with benefits that are enough to make my heart flutter, otherwise, as a member of the Body Sect, your end is already doomed."
"..."
Gu Ximei was silent for a while, her expression changed and she struggled, and finally she said, "How about I let fellow Taoist break through to a small level directly as a trade in exchange for fellow Taoist letting me go?"
"This is ridiculous, how should I trust you?" Lu Zhongpi said with a smile.
Everyone knows that improving one's cultivation is difficult.
Just like him, if he didn't have the Four Spiritual Skills, a technique with its own spiritual power purification properties, I'm afraid he would still be stuck in the middle stage of Qi refining, unable to break through. No matter how much magic elixirs he invested during this period, it would be useless. After all, the spiritual power is mottled and impure.
Force limits his future.
Directly breaking through a small realm, isn't this ridiculous?
"Fellow Taoist, listen to my explanation." Gu Ximei gritted her teeth and said, her fair neck stained with blush as she spoke, "I wonder if you have heard of the Ruolian Yin Yuan Body? People with this spiritual body will have
Give birth to a pure Yin Yuan, and if you do the work of coordinating the universe, Taoist friends will be able to obtain this Yin Yuan."
Her chest was trembling slightly. She put her hand on it, forcing herself to calm down, and took a deep breath: "I wonder, fellow Taoist, don't you think... this kind of Yin Yuan can't help you break through a small realm?"
Beside him, Lu Zhong remained silent.
He has naturally heard of Ruolian Yin Yuan Ti.
In the Book of Dual Cultivation, Maiden Gong, there are many kinds of physical and spiritual bodies that are helpful for dual cultivation. The Ruolian Yin Yuan Body is one of them, and the identification method is very simple, just look at it.
know.
Lu Zhong thought of this and immediately checked Gu Ximei's body, and sure enough he found a mark similar to Qinglian's.
It is not false to look at it with the technique of looking at the Qi.
"Okay!" He agreed directly without any hesitation.
For Lu Zhong, this matter can be said to be a hundred benefits without any harm. In the future, he only needs to refine the Yin Yuan and break through to the ninth level of Qi refining. This will undoubtedly save him a lot of training time.
Now, when the storm is about to come, it is only a little bit more strength that can be improved.
Hearing what Lu Zhong said, Gu Ximei took a deep look at the young man in front of her. She didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, but she already pulled off the skirt belt around her waist with her delicate hands.
On the other side, Lu Zhong secretly checked for malice and confirmed that there was no danger.
…
Afterwards, Lu Zhong sat cross-legged.
As soon as the pure Yin Yuan enters the body, it turns into a stream of pure spiritual energy, spreading to the meridians and limbs of the body. Although the amount is huge, it is unimaginably gentle.
He did not dare to be careless, and immediately started to use the Four Spiritual Skills. As usual, he would transport the spiritual energy through the Zhoutian route, and finally refine it into a ray of pure spiritual power in his body. He repeated this exercise for more than a hundred times before finally turning this energy into a ray of pure spiritual power.
The spiritual energy transformed by the Gu Yin Yuan is exhausted.
Different from previous breakthroughs, this time it was as smooth as water, and the spiritual power naturally increased after reaching the limit.
Unexpectedly, the increase in spiritual power this time actually doubled on the basis of the eighth level of Qi refining!
"No wonder the gap in strength between the monks in the Qi Refining Stage gets bigger as we get to the later stage of Qi Refining..." Feeling the surging Qi sea in his Dantian, Lu Zhong felt joy in his heart. This feeling of easy breakthrough is really exciting.
It was extremely refreshing, and he was finally one step closer to establishing the foundation.
Beside the bed, Gu Ximei turned her back to Lu Zhong, staring blankly at the bronze mirror opposite. After a moment, she said coldly: "Since the deal has been completed, should fellow Taoist fulfill his promise?"
Lu Zhong pondered for a while, then raised his hand and lifted most of the restrictions on Gu Ximei.
"Fellow Taoist, what do you mean by this?" Gu Ximei's expression suddenly changed and she turned to look at Lu Zhong.
"It is necessary to be on guard against others. Since I have received great benefits, I will naturally not do anything like that. The remaining restraints on Fellow Daoist Gu will be automatically eliminated in half an hour."
After saying that, Lu Zhong looked at Gu Ximei and said in a low voice: "Now, fellow Taoist Gu, please leave."
Gu Ximei stood up and dressed expressionlessly, and quickly packed her bags.
Before going out, she paused and suddenly looked at the young man inside the room.
"What's your name?"
Lu Zhong didn't look at her, but said calmly: "Fellow Taoist, you only have a quarter of an hour. If you fail to leave Shuihuan Village in time, don't blame yourself for being ruthless."
Hearing this, Gu Ximei stamped her foot and disappeared into the night.
…
Time flies by like a white horse.
After Lu Zhong reported the news he had received, within a day a shuttle arrived at Shuihuan Village.
The flying shuttle is a more advanced magical weapon than the flying boat. It is no less valuable than a magic weapon. It is as big as a towering ship and can carry ten times as many monks as the flying boat. Its flying speed is extremely fast, not inferior to the flying speed of the golden elixir monk Huahong.
Sending such a shuttle shows how seriously the higher-ups take this matter.
Lu Zhong boarded the ship and saw three foundation-building cultivators on the shuttle.
The leader was clearly Master Shui Ni. She saw concern emerge in Lu Zhong's eyes. When she noticed the breakthrough in his cultivation, her heart was filled with joy, as if she was the one who made the breakthrough.
Next to her, Hong Biyun had a pensive look on her face, as if she was thinking about something. She looked at Lu Zhong from time to time and sighed repeatedly. Behind her stood Lin Zhenghe, a red-faced and long-bearded man, whose expression was also not good at the moment.
"Master Nephew Lu, please tell us more about the body grafting cult. This matter is really shocking. If we don't get definite evidence, the three ancestors above will not be able to make a decision for a while." Lin Zhenghe looked at it.
Lu Zhong said with a serious face.
After hearing this, Lu Zhong recounted the information he knew in full.
Of course, matters related to my own secrets and transactions with Gu Ximei will still be hidden.
After listening, Hong Biyun and Lin Zhenghe still looked doubtful.
At this time, Shui Ni looked at Hong Biyun and Lin Zhenghe, and smiled without any emotion: "I believe what disciple Lu Zhong said, but I see that you two still have doubts in your hearts. In that case...
Then how about we just go straight to Tanniu Mountain, arrest the limb-replacing cultists there, and use the Soul Searching Technique to verify it?"
"That's how it should be!" Lin Zhenghe responded.
It is true that he is a good man, but if he encounters something that endangers the sect, he is more decisive than anyone else.
As he spoke, the shuttle rose into the sky and headed towards Tanniu Mountain.
The details of the limb-joining teachings of Ta Niushan's sub-altar, as Gu Ximei explained before, the person with the highest cultivation level in the sub-altar is only at the eighth level of Qi refining.
Although the Zuo Protector has five pairs of arms and can cast five spells at the same time, he has almost invincible strength during the Qi refining stage. However, in the face of the natural chasm of Qi refining and foundation building, he was still cut down by Shui Ni in one round.
Remove hands and feet.
As for the right protector, his strength is even worse. Even Lu Zhong can easily solve it.
With a crowd of nearly 10,000 and nearly 1,000 cultivators, the Jieji Cult Ta Niu Mountain sub-altar, led by three foundation-building cultivators and more than a hundred inner and outer disciples of the Heling Sect, was trampled to the ground in just half a day.
The scene was littered with corpses, and pools of blood were accumulated.
After some soul-searching and interrogation, a large amount of scattered information was obtained, and the confusing and repetitive parts were eliminated, and finally the same answer was obtained.
"It's actually the Lingyue Sect!" Lin Zhenghe couldn't believe it.
"Isn't this strange? Since Heling Sect has broken the balance of power in the region and has the tendency to rise into the Nascent Soul Sect, you should have thought of this a long time ago." Shui Ni said with an indifferent expression.
Hong Biyun remained silent, but she had to agree with what Shui Ni said.
There are only so many resources in the world of cultivation, and no one would want anyone to take them away from them.
The Lingyue Sect, which leads the Lingyue Territory, naturally does not want to see a new Nascent Soul Sect rise under its command, so once it sees such signs, it is inevitable to suppress them.
Lu Zhong stood aside and listened, but in his heart he was thinking about his next move.
The Lingyue Sect still has the Nascent Soul True Lord sitting in charge, and it happens to be the peak period of the Spring and Autumn Period. He has at least a thousand years to live, which is obviously not something that the Heling Sect can resist.
In this case, even if a body cultist is killed, the crisis of destruction still cannot be solved.
Maybe, the Lingyue Sect will be forced into a panic and directly invite the True Monarch Nascent Soul.
He didn't know how powerful Nascent Soul was, but one thing he was sure of was that once that kind of great monk took action, Heling Sect wouldn't have a chance.
After thinking for a while, Lu Zhong suddenly laughed in his heart.
Such major events involve a wide range of things. Logically speaking, it should be the three ancestors to worry about. This is not what a small fish in the Qi Refining Period like me should think about. Instead of spending energy on these things, it is better to focus on building the foundation.
.
He had just killed the Jianjijiao Ta Niu Shan branch altar, and he had gained a lot of wealth.
Spiritual stones and pills are all available. If the limb-joining sect wants to develop, it is impossible without resources. After all, the casual cultivators are not fools. If they don't see the benefits, why would they risk their lives to go against the Heling Sect?
.
In this way, another three to four thousand spiritual stones were put into the bag.
Coupled with the spiritual stones he had saved previously, Lu Zhong felt that buying three foundation-building pills was more than enough.
With three top-level foundation-building treasure pills, even if he has four spiritual roots, he should be able to achieve foundation-building. Not to mention, he also has the secret technique of Yuan Gathering Method, which can increase the success rate of foundation-building by half.
While thinking, he heard Shui Ni make a proposal, but it was immediately opposed by Hong Biyun and Lin Zhenghe.
Lu Zhong did not continue to care about these, and returned to the cabin to rest.
…
The shuttle quickly returned to the mountain gate of Heling Sect.
Different from the past, the atmosphere in the sect was a bit solemn at this moment.
From time to time, you can still see streaks of rainbow light passing by, flying towards Heling Peak.
Many inner disciples gathered together, whispering and discussing this matter. They all had sad faces. No one expected that such a thing would happen.
"Lu...Senior Brother Lu?"
A familiar voice came from behind.
Lu Zhong looked back and found that it was Wei Tie whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Wei Tie obviously chose the Tuoyang inheritance. His iron tower-like body grew again, and his height directly increased to ten feet, which made the female cultivator next to him look even more petite, even though she was not very tall.
"It turns out to be Junior Brother Wei, long time no see!" Lu Zhong cupped his hands and smiled, looking at the female cultivator beside him, "You two have become a Taoist couple? Congratulations, congratulations!"
"Haha, thank you Senior Brother Lu." Wei Tie scratched his head in embarrassment, and at the same time he became more and more convinced of Lu Zhong. His own cultivation was still stagnant at the seventh level of Qi Refining, but his opponent's strength had already broken through to the level of Qi Refining.
At the ninth level of Qi, you can immediately try to build the foundation.
"I, Lin Qing, have met Senior Brother Lu." The petite female cultivator also bowed and saluted.
When the two met, they chatted for a while and then talked about the Lingyue Sect.
Wei Tie kept sighing when he said this. He originally thought that he and his Taoist companion Lin Qing could live a peaceful and stable life after the sect ended the second war of three sects and annexed the Jinhong Sect and Luoyun Sect.
But who would have expected that something like this would actually happen now.
"Hey, Senior Brother Lu, what do you think we should do?"
Next to him, Lin Qing kept comforting Wei Tie, also looking sad.
Lu Zhong knew what the two of them were thinking. They were simply worried that after the Heling Sect was destroyed, Heling Sect disciples like himself would also be liquidated by the Lingyue Sect, putting their lives in danger.
It is actually normal to have such thoughts.
After all, in order to destroy the sect, it is naturally necessary to eradicate the remaining evildoers.
Throughout the ages, this kind of thing has happened a lot.
But then he thought of the suggestions put forward by Shui Ni on the shuttle, and he felt that things would probably not develop to such a bad situation, and everyone's wealth and lives might be protected.
Lu Zhong thought for a while, but still didn't reveal his thoughts.
He quickly said goodbye and came to Wangxian Town.
Obviously, the news from above has not reached here yet. The town is still a prosperous scene, with every citizen's face filled with smiles and their hearts full of expectations for a better future.
Walking on the street, Lu Zhong saw Li Hejun wearing a green shirt and skirt.
A teasing idea came to mind. He silently leaned forward and held Li Hejun's waist from behind. This startled her, but when she smelled the familiar smell, she shyly raised her head.
Buried in the visitor's chest, his face was filled with smiles.
"Master, are you already having sex with someone else?" Li Hejun smelled the smell and said with a look of resentment.
"Yes." Lu Zhong said bluntly with a smile, holding the person in his arms tighter.
"Then...I want it too!" Li Hejun started acting coquettishly, with a blush on his face.
