The benefits of practicing Jade Vein Gong were quickly revealed.
With the input of massive spiritual stones, Lu Zhong's eight small Zhoutian meridians changed at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming as crystal clear as jade, constantly broadening, and becoming tougher than before.
Reflected in cultivation, it is the increase in the speed of cultivation.
Not only that, but what surprised him even more.
As the strength of the meridians increases, the number of daily exercises that can be performed also slightly increases, which means that in the future, you will be able to have one or two more rounds of Maha Zhou Tian more luck than ordinary monks every day. The accumulation over time is amazing.
In addition, the fighting skills have also been improved a lot.
Just like Chi Yang's magic swordsmanship, after practicing the Jade Vein Skill, thanks to the meridians that can withstand more true energy, both the number of magic swords struck when breaking out and the power of the magic sword have been slightly improved. It is expected that in the future
It can give the enemy more surprises.
The day after March.
In the quiet room, Lu Zhong was unusually not practicing.
Looking at a green and yellow ball of light in front of him, about the size of a watermelon, his face was full of nervousness. The ball of light was transformed from the Wutu Ruimu Spirit Ring, which absorbed nearly ten thousand souls.
After absorbing the stone's essence, he finally accumulated enough spirituality and began to take the final step of transforming into a spiritual weapon.
It can be clearly seen that inside the light ball composed of many restrictions, there is a luminous ring, which is constantly floating in the light and undergoing the baptism of waves of spiritual energy.
"I hope this small spirit quenching array will really have the effect of improving the level of spiritual weapons!" Lu Zhong thought with anticipation.
After hesitating for a while, he turned over his hand and took out a jade slip given by Liu Piao Niang.
Lu Zhong had already read all the contents inside. It was an extremely detailed map of Shen Yuan Palace, with information about most areas recorded in it. It was extremely helpful for his trip to Shen Yuan Palace.
What interested him was that the jade slips described a kind of gilded fire jade.
This jade is only produced in Shen Yuan Palace. It is said that if it can be added during the transformation of the spiritual weapon, it can remove the impurities and retain the essence. It can evolve the impurities in the embryo and greatly increase the number of spiritual collaterals of the spiritual weapon.
The number of networks is related to the final grade of the spiritual weapon.
"It is said that spiritual weapons are easy to come by but hard to find. If I can really get a middle-grade spiritual weapon, my ability to protect myself during the trip to Shen Yuan Palace will be much stronger than it is now."
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong stood up and went out.
Soon we arrived at the inner ring business district, which was still very bustling.
Thanks to the exploration of Shen Yuan Palace by a large number of monks over the years, major trading houses have a lot of gilded fire jade, but it is not easy to buy it. Either the price is astonishingly expensive, or you have to pay for the souls of the same value.
To exchange for something.
"I should have thought of it earlier." Lu Zhong said with some annoyance.
As the realm improves, the spiritual resources that can be used will become less and less.
Not only will old-age elixirs become scarce, some rare spiritual materials that can be used by foundation-building cultivators will also become hard to find. It is not surprising that merchants are reluctant to sell them at high prices.
I went to the auction house and asked around, and there was also a gilt fire jade being auctioned.
But after seeing the previous transaction prices, Lu Zhong suddenly gave up on this idea because the price was also outrageous.
Just as he was thinking about it, a greeting came from behind.
When I turned around, I saw Liu Yuhe. He seemed to have just attended an auction and was walking out of the passage.
Thanks to Lu Zhong's deliberate friendship, the relationship between the two was quite good. After several visits to Changle Square to enjoy dance music, the other party immediately returned the favor with several high-value purchases and also introduced many customers to the Fulu Shop.
By cooperating with Liu Yuhe, Lu Zhong earned a lot of spiritual stones.
Although he was in a bad mood at this time, he didn't show it on his face, he held his hands and smiled:
"Friend Liu Dao, long time no see!"
"Long time no see! Brother Lu, are you free tonight to go to Changlefang with my little brother? I heard that a group of fairies have just arrived over there, and they are proficient in playing, playing and singing!" Liu Yuhe said seriously, but there was a hint of obscenity in his eyes.
, it can’t be covered up no matter what.
Lu Zhongzhen didn’t know how a great foundation-building cultivator could be so bad at nourishing qi?
However, maybe this is also the reason why he is willing to have a close relationship with her.
After all, this person is a real villain, not as sophisticated as a hypocrite, and although he is greedy for money and lustful, he is still kind in doing things, and he will reward him if he takes advantage of it.
After thinking for a while, he sighed: "I'm not in the mood..."
With that said, he told Liu Yuhe about the gold-plated fire jade.
"So that's it! Brother Lu, why didn't you tell me earlier that I have an errand that I can introduce to you? If it is completed, it will definitely not be a problem to get one or two pieces of gold-plated fire jade!"
Seeing Liu Yuhe's confidence, Lu Zhong couldn't help but think about it.
After asking about it, I found out that it turned out that after more than a hundred years of hard work, the Liu family had finally saved enough spiritual stones. A while ago, they mobilized the whole family to buy a second-level spiritual vein in Tiebi Mountain outside the city to serve as the family's eternal treasure.
An unshakable foundation.
Currently there is a lot of construction work there to clear out the surrounding monsters.
Whether it is helping to set up formations or killing monsters that endanger the territory, you can get a certain amount of merit from the Liu family. As long as Lu Zhong can accumulate enough merit, he can exchange it for gilded fire jade.
"How?" Liu Yuhe asked expectantly.
Lu Zhong gave a definite answer and decided to accept the other party's kindness.
According to his previous understanding, the Liu family was a family that relied on appraisals, and its reputation was still guaranteed in the city, so they were not afraid of going back on their word.
So he made an agreement with Liu Yuhe to go to Tiebi Mountain in three days to be a temporary guest.
After separation from Liu Yuhe, Lu Zhong still refused to give up.
I visited many places in the city and found that many powerful trading houses had gilded fire jade in stock, but they all raised prices or made some harsh requirements. In comparison, the difficulty of obtaining gilt fire jade from the Liu family seemed
Surprisingly relaxed.
If he hadn't learned that the Liu family was actively soliciting guests and planning to establish a clan territory in Tiebi Mountain, he would have thought that Liu Yuhe was setting a trap to plot against him.
"Alas, even the foundation-building spiritual objects are like this. I really don't know what will happen when the elixir formation stage comes?" Lu Zhong couldn't help but feel worried about the future, but then he laughed at himself.
I don't even know if I can achieve the perfection of foundation building through cultivation, so it's useless to worry about it now.
Shaking his head, he turned back to Xianyi Fang.
…
Tiebi Mountain was originally a miasmatic place.
It wasn't until a casual herb collector accidentally discovered a spiritual vein underground that the place suddenly became lively. First, there were batches of exploring monks, searching over and over for elixirs that had grown in the mountains for many years, and then the proficient Kanyu monks.
The prospecting monks with their special skills sifted this place back and forth several times like passing through a grate.
Only after it was confirmed that there was no more oil and water to be exploited in Tiebishan, the Lingyue Sect put this land up for sale.
It was a place like this that the Liu family spent a lot of money to bid for.
Even so, this land is still worth millions of spiritual stones.
Nowadays, all the monsters that are of high value and are easy to hunt within the scope of Tiebei Mountain have been dealt with by the people in front of them, and the rest are just hard work.
Just like in front of Lu Zhong, this group of iron crayfish living in Baili Poison Swamp is quite difficult to deal with.
There is a swamp with a depth of tens of feet as a cover, and the iron crayfish is as solid as gold and iron. It is also a ghost and ghost. After suffering a loss, it will hide underground and cannot come out. It is no wonder that it can do this poisonous swamp.
Overlord, the size of the group is at least in the thousands, and with those shrimps and grandchildren, it can even exceed one hundred thousand.
Before his arrival, several Foundation Establishment guests had been injured, and many Qi Refining monks had died. Since it was related to an important node of the Liu family's mountain protection formation, it was imperative to deal with the Iron Crawfish.
Otherwise, the Liu family spent a lot of money to hire a master of formations to design the mountain-protecting formation, and they would have to spend a huge amount of spiritual stones to hire someone to make corresponding modifications.
In the temporary camp, everyone was eating freshly caught iron crayfish and discussing countermeasures.
Since most of the people invited by the Liu family are casual cultivators, there are not so many red tapes. You talk to each other, eating and drinking, and talking about the solutions you think of.
It's nothing more than setting a bait and then killing it.
Lu Zhong ate and listened, secretly praising the iron crayfish that grew in the poisonous swamp. It tasted really good, especially the cook from the Liu family, who also geniusly came up with a spicy recipe to make it even more delicious.
Already.
Paired with the refreshing and greasy curculigo spirit wine, you won't be able to stop eating it.
"Damn, these shrimps are really delicious!" A big man with his chest open and a bunch of black hair exposed, holding a wine jar and drinking heavily, said cursingly without removing the shells of the shrimps.
Suddenly, he thought of a way, so he said: "Look, since these shrimps are so delicious, it is still hard to wipe them out. Why not persuade the Liu family to enclose the poisonous swamp, and then just make shrimp farming their main business?"
I expect to get a thousand spiritual stones every year!"
The big man thought that his proposal would be approved by everyone, but he never expected that he would only get a blank stare.
Lu Zhong also laughed secretly after hearing this. The Liu family was planning to use this place as their clan territory. How could they leave such a hidden danger to their old nest just for the sake of earning a thousand spiritual stones a year?
Furthermore, apart from being delicious, iron crayfish actually have no other use.
Although the iron crayfish looks majestic, in fact, the whole body, including the crayfish shell, has extremely poor spiritual energy conductivity, so it can escape the previous waves of suppression. Otherwise, it would be worth three to five hundred souls.
Shi, had long been assigned a sect mission by the Lingyue Sect, and had been completely wiped out inside and out, so there was no need for them to come up with a solution.
Furthermore, he also heard some news from Liu Yuhe that the Liu family was planning to plant a rare elixir, Purple Leaf Lotus, in the poisonous swamp. This was the real purpose of the Liu family's eagerness to clean up the iron crayfish population. After all,
A poisonous swamp environment like Tiebi Mountain is really suitable for the growth of purple leaf lotus.
Discussions went on and on, but after the shrimps were finished and the wine was finished, no one came up with a solution.
Therefore, we can only use the old methods of casual cultivators.
Everyone does his own thing.
…
Before dawn the next day, Lu Zhong got up early.
To be honest, he was really not used to having no one to help him change clothes and wash up.
I simply stopped using the Cleansing Technique and took out a few Cleansing Charms, patted them on my body randomly to remove the stains and smells on my robes, then took out a piece of dried animal meat from the storage bag and ate it while walking.
go out.
In the early morning, there is a sweet and strange smell floating in Tiebei Mountain.
It's a bit uncomfortable at first, but you'll get used to it once you hear it more.
Of course, you must remember to take the detoxification pill on time, otherwise the poisonous gas released by the poisonous swamp will be too much, and even the foundation-building practitioners will not be able to withstand it.
As we took a stroll and reached the edge of the poisonous swamp, someone was already trying to hunt the iron crayfish.
"Good morning, fellow Taoist, you come to hunt for shrimps too!"
"Yes, life has changed recently, and things in the city have become very expensive, so I have to get up early and work hard." Lu Zhong chatted with the other party for a few words, then looked at the man and tried the demon-baiting incense passed down from his family.
Unfortunately, not much effect was achieved.
A bunch of ordinary crayfish were brought out, and it looked like we could have a feast again at noon.
"Fellow Taoist, please be busy first. I'll go over there and have a look." Seeing that the other party couldn't help but feel embarrassed, Lu Zhong said goodbye and left knowingly.
When he came to a secluded and uninhabited place, he did not forget the reason why he came. He was not here to eat crayfish and drink curculigo wine.
Thinking of the iron crayfish Xijing, Lu Zhong thought that maybe he could start with it.
Before taking action, he spent half an hour to set up a simple illusion array around him. Iron crayfish were very simple-minded, so the illusion array was enough to trap them inside and also protect themselves.
He checked the jade token and talisman on his body again to ensure that he would be effectively protected if an accident occurred.
After making the necessary preparations, Lu Zhong started to chant the incantation.
First, let’s do the Flying Star Air Entrainment Technique, and then the Flying Star Fire Rain Technique, which I haven’t used since I learned it.
This technique is similar to the Qingyang Fire Rain Technique. It also condenses a large number of fireball bombs for bombardment. However, the Flying Star Fire Rain Technique, as an inherited spell, has its own uniqueness. It can adjust the fireball bombs within a certain range according to the caster's will.
quantity and power.
Therefore, Lu Zhong's plan is also very simple.
Just try to bombard them with fireballs to see if you can harass the crayfish out.
"Dongdongdong!"
One fireball after another plowed the poisonous swamp in front of him back and forth over and over again.
Not to mention, it really made him angry and brought out several crayfish.
Although they are all first-level iron crayfish, it is still a good result among the guests who are working in vain.
That night, many people came to visit and wanted to learn from the experience.
After receiving enough benefits, Lu Zhong knew everything.
After all, his method is indeed simple and cannot be hidden. Others will understand if they think about it more. Instead of offending all the guests for nothing, it is better to receive some benefits and settle the matter.
When he finished speaking, everyone was stunned.
It turns out that this is the gradual method!
To be honest, there are not many people who have thought of starting from the calmness of the crayfish, but Lu Zhong is the first to continue to annoy the crayfish and successfully make the crayfish angry.
Ever since, the next day, the whole Tiebi Mountain was rumbling continuously.
The guests tried their best to harass the crayfish in the poisonous swamp.
For three consecutive days, gratifying results were achieved.
Almost everyone can hunt three to five iron crayfish every day.
But soon, this method no longer works.
The reason is also very simple. The king of shrimps was born in the iron crayfish community here. He gave an order and the shrimps would not come out to attack the monks no matter how much they harassed them.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, in your opinion, how should we respond?"
"Yes, yes, why don't you think about it again?"
Hearing this, Lu Zhong couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Do you really think I didn't think about it?
I thought about it, but just like you, they all failed!
