At the exchange meeting, everyone first exchanged their cultivation experiences.
From the sharing, we can also see the characteristics of the two monks in the late stage of foundation building.
Xu Yang, who has been through life and death for many years, the cultivation experience he shared was precise and sharp, and he often hit the nail on the head when answering questions. Dongfang Ling, a celebrity in the foundation building circle, talked about things in a quiet and gentle way. It is expected that he would do it on weekdays.
What I felt was extremely detailed.
The sharing between the two gave Lu Zhong a lot of inspiration.
Many things that were previously unexplainable suddenly became enlightened.
After a while, everyone gradually started chatting.
After all, there are exchanges several times a year, so how can there be so much experience exchanged, plus the ones that are deliberately hidden, so Lu Zhongcai listened for less than half an hour before the experience sharing was over.
He was deeply regretful about this.
I quickly cheered up again and the next session was pretty good.
The word "exchange" in the exchange meeting means not only the exchange of experiences, but also the exchange of what you have and don't have with each other. At this time, the participants will bring out some good things, whether they really want to exchange for something or show off.
They are all relatively interesting parts of the exchange meeting.
Lu Zhong thought for a while and took out dozens of flying charms.
Although this talisman is unsaleable in his talisman shop, it does not mean that the flying talisman is not rare. It is estimated that except for the big chambers of commerce in the city, few of the casual talisman makers can draw it, otherwise it would be impossible to buy it in the shop.
As soon as it opens, it will attract a lot of customers.
Sure enough, dozens of flying talismans attracted a lot of attention.
The second-level flying talisman may no longer be of use to the foundation-building monks who can fly, but for the younger disciples in their family, it is the key to saving their lives.
In a critical moment, if you have this talisman, your chance of survival will be much greater.
"Fellow Taoist, I have two True Rhythm Pills here, can I exchange them for four?" An old man with white beard and hair came up and asked.
"No problem!" Lu Zhong smiled on the outside and said secretly in his heart.
True Rhythm Pill is an elixir suitable for use in the middle stage of foundation building. Its effect on increasing cultivation is slightly weaker than that of elixirs of the same level. The advantage is that the erysipelas accumulated after taking the elixir is less, and the aura it contains is purer.
Overall, this pill is a good pill.
In fact, his main purpose is not to sell charms, he is here just for publicity.
By participating in more exchange meetings, I expect the store's business will increase faster.
There were only twelve talismans in a dozen, and they were quickly replaced by the monks present. From this, Lu Zhong obtained several different elixirs. Although the number was only one or two, they could meet the needs of a period of practice.
Soon, the exchange meeting came to an end.
Lu Zhong glanced back and forth in the crowd and quickly found Xu Tianqing's figure. He did not forget that another purpose of his trip was to persuade the other party to entrust him with the formation entrustment.
After all, by setting up a second-level formation, you can earn at least three to four hundred spirit stones, which is slightly higher than making a talisman.
Perhaps because he had integrated into the circle, Xu Tianqing readily agreed.
The two agreed on the matters and quickly established a spiritual contract.
According to the agreement, Lu Zhong is going to Xiliuzhuang outside the city to build a second-level thick earth quicksand formation there. This must be completed within a month in order to receive corresponding rewards.
In the next month, he traveled around and accepted several formation commissions.
In total, a total of 1,100 spiritual stones were recorded.
In addition to the income from making talismans in his spare time, he actually has nearly three thousand spirit stones in a month. After deducting a certain amount of expenses, he can have more than a thousand spirit stones left at least.
Lu Zhong calculated carefully and found that he could save spiritual stones in this way.
And as time goes by, when the business of the talisman shop becomes prosperous, the monthly balance of spiritual stones will be even greater, and it will become possible to save enough money to buy spiritual objects that assist in forming pills.
…
There is no time to cultivate immortality, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Thanks to the help of the flying talisman, the business of the talisman shop finally improved slightly. It was still far behind Lu Zhong's expectations, but it was still a small achievement.
It was still dark that day, so Lu Zhong went out early.
Thanks to his successful integration into the foundation-building circle, he learned some useful news a few days ago.
It turns out that there is a place called White Bone Ridge thousands of miles south of the city. It used to be the lair of an old demon called Nascent Soul. Later, when the Lingyue Sect rose up and the two sides fought, the old demon was killed by the Lingyue Patriarch on the spot, and then the White Bones
The ridge has become a place of adventure.
The purpose of Lu Zhong going there was to collect the ghost phosphorous bone fire inside.
Ghost phosphorus bone fire is a type of yin fire. It can be used as fuel for forging spiritual fire and can strengthen the flame. He wants to use this to enhance the effect of forging spiritual fire to purify the true essence. After all, after breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building
After that, the effect of this fire suddenly weakened. The reason was that the grade of the forged spiritual fire was not enough.
Spiritual fire also has levels. The ghost phosphorus bone fire is the first-order low-grade, and Lu Zhong’s current forged spirit fire is condensed from Jinyang insect fire, so it is only the first-order mid-grade. He estimates that as long as he upgrades it to
Only the first-level high-quality products can achieve more obvious effects.
Driving the Wood Spirit Wind Boat, we spent more than two hours on the road and finally arrived at the White Bone Ridge.
Viewed from a distance, the mountains over a hundred miles around here are all pale in color. There are dark clouds in the sky that are not dispersed even by the sunlight.
Entering here, you can feel the black wind blowing and flying sand and rocks.
From time to time, you can see the shadows of people passing by. They are ghosts who covet the monks' energy. They are hiding among the withered bones and casting greedy and vicious glances.
Lu Zhong was not afraid. A ray of golden flame appeared from his finger and he drove away the ghost.
After walking for a while, he even met other monks.
This team of qi-refining monks is obviously here specifically for ghosts. From time to time, they will shoot one or two evil exorcism talismans, shoot them into the group of ghosts and explode directly. After the ghosts are burned to death by the yang energy, they can go over and collect the "quiet spirit dust".
Judging from their extremely skilled movements, they must be doing this for a living.
After walking far away, Lu Zhong came to a small valley.
There is no sunshine all year round here, and the black wind transformed by Yin Qi is howling everywhere, so the hidden ghosts are not weak. As soon as he entered the valley entrance, he saw an armored corpse. Seeing that its skin had a coppery luster, he could
Knowing that it is about to break through to the second level.
Upon inspection, it can be seen that the armored corpse was killed not long ago.
Looking around at the traces of fighting, Lu Zhong guessed that the cultivation level of the group inside was not high. Even if there were foundation-building monks inside, they should be in the early stages of foundation-building and would not pose a threat to him.
Looking at the ghostly phosphorus bone fire floating in the wind in the valley, he released the wood spirit wind boat and flew in.
There is no need to collect the bone fire, it is used as firewood anyway, just release the forged spirit fire to devour it.
During this period, there were not many ghosts without eyes who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a sneak attack.
They were all easily solved by Lu Zhong. After all, it was the old nest of demon cultivators that had been destroyed for a long time. Now it is still regarded as the source of raw materials by the monks. How could there be any powerful ghosts?
Area after area was swept over, and a large amount of ghost phosphorous bone fire was devoured as firewood.
Slowly, the spirituality of Forged Spiritual Fire is increasing.
Seeing this gratifying change, Lu Zhong was also happy.
According to this progress, after collecting the ghost phosphorous bone fire in White Bone Ridge, it will be time to forge the spiritual fire to advance.
"Peng!"
At this time, there was a sudden explosion from ahead.
Looking from a distance, one can see a bone peak being blown to pieces.
After a while, a large number of broken bones fell down with a faint crashing sound.
Lu Zhong showed displeasure. This sudden explosion shook away a lot of the ghostly phosphorus bone fire and turned it into tiny specks of ghostly phosphorescence, which was no longer worthy of being swallowed.
It was rare to find such a good place, but now it was destroyed like this. How could he not be angry?
"I want to see what you are doing so much trouble!"
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong took back the flying boat, used the two techniques of holding breath and hiding, and quietly sneaked over there.
…
In front of a blasted tomb passage, the five heroes of Yunshan all showed joy in their eyes.
The leader was an old man with rosacea. He pointed at the fast-fading murals on the tomb passage and said excitedly: "Great, there really is the tomb of the concubine of the Ancient Yin Old Demon here!"
Ancient Yin Old Demon was the former master of White Bone Ridge.
According to classic records, this demonic monk in the late Nascent Soul stage had married more than a thousand concubines, but there was only one he loved most among them, and she was buried in the mountain peak in front of her.
It took thousands of years to be discovered, which shows how secretive the tomb is!
"Without further delay, Third Sister, you and Fifth Brother will stay outside. Second Brother, and Fourth Sister, follow me!" the old man with rosacea assigned the task and quickly led the two of them into the tomb passage.
This scene was all seen by Lu Zhong.
But he didn't make any move, after all, there was a third party at the scene.
In a crack in the mountain just in front of him, there were two foundation-building monks dressed in black, looking at this group of monks called Yunshan Five Heroes.
The two of them were really careful. Just like him, they kept silent and went out. If Lu Zhong hadn't been paying attention to his surroundings and often used scene recall on the way to check the simulated environment with his spiritual consciousness,
It's really possible that you won't be able to find the other party.
The scene was reviewed once to determine the cultivation levels of the two monks in black.
"Fortunately, they are all in the early stage of foundation building!" Lu Zhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just in case, I carefully checked the surrounding area in case there was anyone hiding behind me.
After going around, I found nothing.
Borrowing the scene to review and eavesdropping on the conversation between the two people below, Lu Zhong's expression gradually became weird. He actually heard the word "black bead", and the two of them were very sure that there must be such an object in the tomb.
"The Black Lotus Pearl is related to Shen Yuan Palace, and will it also lead to robbery from the Black Corpse Palace?"
As he continued to listen, Lu Zhong became even more surprised.
Recalling his previous experience, it seems to have verified this theory. The tree spirit named "Sophora Slave" was sent by the Black Corpse Palace, not long after he obtained the Black Zodiac Pearl.
Having been in Lingyue Immortal City for so long, I want to talk about the topic that the monks in the Foundation Circle here are most interested in.
Apart from the concubines trained by any sect family, who are young, beautiful and fun-loving, there is only Shen Yuan Palace that has been opened once every twenty-five years. Anyone who has come into contact with Lingyue Immortal City's foundation building seems to be interested in this secret realm.
Very concerned.
Recently, the topic about Shen Yuan Palace has become more and more intensive.
Lu Zhong also inquired about it, and it was said that the secret realm had a spiritual object that was as effective as the golden elixir. Therefore, every time the secret realm of Shen Yuan Palace was opened, a large number of monks would hold the black bead and go inside to explore.
Thinking of this, his eyes lit up.
On the other side, three of the five heroes from Yunshan who entered the tomb finally succeeded in retrieving the treasure.
However, the three of them walked in, and when they came out, two people fell to the ground and were dragged out. The yin energy like fire was boiling on the old man with rosacea and a woman in red.
Visible to the naked eye, their bodies were withering rapidly.
While unconscious, Jiuchoni still clutched a jade box tightly.
While being dragged along, the jade box was smashed into pieces.
Suddenly a bunch of exquisite jewelry leaked out, including a black bead.
The first time he saw it, Lu Zhong was sure it was a black bead.
At the same time, two monks in black also moved.
They all used swords, and with their strength at the foundation-building stage, it was easy to crush the Qi-refining monks.
Seeing Yunshan's five heroes fall one by one, Lu Zhong also decided to take action.
This was the first time in so many years that he took the initiative to get involved in the vortex.
Obtaining the Black Lotus Pearl will entitle you to enter the Shen Yuan Palace, and in disguise, you will have the opportunity to compete for the elixir-forming spiritual objects. In the face of such a huge expected reward, it is worth taking a little risk.
"However, you still have to be careful of the shorter black monk."
Lu Zhong always felt that this person was hiding something, and he was afraid that he was also an old yin person.
Taking a deep breath, the two swords slipped from his sleeves.
Now that we have taken action, there is no need to leave any room.
Summoning a spiritual wind to protect the body, he immediately shot like a meteor.
In a flash of lightning, Lu Zhong rushed in front of another monk in black. He raised his hand and shot out two sword shadows in succession, hitting the opponent's body surface.
When fighting against Foundation Establishment monks, sneak attacks are usually difficult to work due to the existence of the protective layer of Qi.
The opponent was obviously a veteran in fighting, and he was sure that Gang Qi could block these two swords for him.
At this moment, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and he made a gesture with his left hand and wielded a sword with his right hand, slashing out dozens of swords at the attacker.
"I'm afraid it's a monk from the sect." This thought flashed through Lu Zhong's mind, and he did not dodge the dozens of sword shadows that came at him.
"You probably wouldn't have thought that I'm actually a Dharma practitioner, right?"
He used Star Step to approach the opponent, ignoring the two swords that were bounced away, and muttered something.
With the blessing of the Flying Star Qi Entrainment Technique, it has broken through to the middle stage of foundation building. The Chi Yang Magic Sword summoned is almost real, and after being infused with a large amount of true energy, it has magical power comparable to a high-grade magic weapon.
Perhaps a dozen swords cannot break the Gang Qi.
But what if he slashes dozens of swords in one go?
Lu Zhong had been conducting experiments before and had already obtained the results.
It has to be said that Chi Yangfa's swordsmanship is really a close combat skill.
A short burst like this is enough to break through the body's protective aura.
"No wonder it is often said in the classics that due to the lack of spiritual weapons, spells are often used to determine the outcome in battles between foundation-building cultivators. Now it seems that they are indeed right."
Lu Zhong broke through the opponent's energy with one move, and immediately pursued him and started to fight.
