Lu Zhong pinched the Flying Star Seal with his hand and muttered something in his mouth, constantly absorbing the star-yang energy when the rising sun was about to rise into his body. At the same time, the star-blue light flowed on the surface of his body, and from time to time a dazzling light burst out suddenly.
On the ground of the quiet room, empty medicine bottles were shaking. The red cloth on the bottle stoppers was affected, and it was mixed with the dust on the ground. It floated strangely, and slowly formed a vortex with the position where he sat cross-legged as the center.
Rotate.
As time went by, soon even the medicine bottles were floating in the air
At this time, he gave a low drink.
Suddenly, the floating objects around him stopped, and they all fell to the ground with a clatter.
At the same time, the light on the body surface solidified from void.
An expression of joy appeared on Lu Zhong's face, and he quickly looked down at his body surface, only to see an extra layer of star-blue light film, and this was the Xing Yang Gang in the Dacheng state.
To the touch, it almost fits the skin.
It does not affect the touch at all, and its toughness is similar to that of monster fur.
"Huh, it took three thousand days and nights, but I finally trained you!"
I tried it, and it turned out that it was as recorded in the classics. Really cultivating Gang Qi can protect the Lord on its own without thinking, and its protective power is also quite good. The Golden Bite Sword and the Shining Gold Sword look like they can be restored in the blink of an eye.
, if you want to take action against the Qi Refining Monk at this time, you can kill him as easily as killing a chicken or a dog.
After careful testing, Lu Zhong came to the conclusion that the protective power of Dacheng Xingyang Gang was almost the same as the description in the inheritance. It was stronger than ordinary true cultivation Gang Qi, and even comparable to low-grade defensive spiritual weapons. In addition, it recovered quickly.
The features can definitely be called first-rate.
"The next step is to practice spells."
Lu Zhong thought to himself, and after taking a few cleansing charms on his body, he prepared to go out.
A few days ago, I received a commission to set up a formation. It was to set up a second-level mountain guarding formation for a small family. The information about the ground line had already been explored by Master Kanyu in advance. He only needed to go over and do some calculations and put the formation flags into the formation.
Just place the items in precise locations.
In this way, you can get the benefits of five hundred spirit stones.
At present, the business of the Talisman Shop is getting better and better, with a balance of at least three to two thousand spirit stones every month, but who would think there are too many spirit stones? If you go out for half a day, you can earn half the income of an average true cultivator. It is no wonder that those formation masters
Each one is hidden and the conditions for accepting disciples are more stringent than the last, obviously because they are afraid that too many people will dilute the profits.
On Lu Zhong's side, monks have come to visit him many times, wanting to learn from him. Many of them are descendants of Jindan cultivators, or direct descendants of large families.
But he declined them all.
There is no fear of retaliation, after all, the guild is backing him.
After eating shrimp and wontons, Lu Zhong walked out of the mansion and got on the four-wheeled beast cart called by the maid.
After leaving the city, they immediately released the flying boat and flew toward the southwest.
The atmosphere outside the city was tense at this time. Along the way, many families or farms could be seen. They had opened their defensive formations, and there were guest ministers leading guards on patrols, for fear that a swarm of black evil insects would appear.
Obviously, they were all afraid of making the same mistake as the Liu family did two days ago.
"It's strange. Disciples from the Lingyue Sect have gone there one after another. It is said that several elders from Jindan have passed there. Why has it not been unsealed yet? I don't know what the current situation of the Liu family is."
Lu Zhong was sitting cross-legged on the flying boat, still thinking about the Liu family.
With the mountain-protecting formation there, I thought the Liu family would be fine.
The Black Evil Insect is certainly powerful. Generally, monks are no match for this insect in one-on-one combat. However, if the insect swarm wants to break through a mountain-protecting formation, it will take at least a day or two. After all, they can only break through the formation with brute force. During this time,
Enough for the reinforcements from Lingyue Fairy City to pass.
That's why he felt weird.
According to common sense, there should have been results long ago, and there are different opinions about it.
After a while, Lu Zhong couldn't figure out the reason, so he simply stopped thinking about it and focused on being wary of the increasingly desolate scenery around him, lest he accidentally be attacked by evil cultivators.
Here in Lingyue Immortal City, there are also evil cultivators of the Way of Tribulation.
There are not many in number, but all of them are insidious and treacherous, so much so that the Law Enforcement Hall has repeatedly suppressed them.
Soon, a hill with a mansion was approaching.
Lu Zhong raised his hand habitually, preparing to use the technique of detecting malicious intent.
In recent years, he has become more and more comfortable in using this technique, and he will do it once or twice from time to time.
"It's a pity. It would be great if I could learn the Six Yao Technique."
Although this technique is also metaphysics, it is recognized that it can enhance the monk's inspiration and increase the frequency of things such as "whims", thereby avoiding dangers and disasters.
However, Lu Zhong was just imagining it.
This secret technique has been lost for an unknown period of time.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
As if he couldn't believe it, he quickly pinched it again.
Sensing the warning signs in his heart, Lu Zhong's expression changed again and again.
What originally looked like an ordinary hill has now become a "dragon pond and tiger's den".
"I would rather believe it!"
At worst, I won't earn these five hundred spirit stones.
After firing several spells in succession, the flying boat turned around on the hill and flew towards Lingyue Fairy City.
…
In the courtyard below.
A dozen monks were hiding in the magic circle, looking at each other in confusion at this moment.
The leader of this group was a young man in fine clothes. Looking at Feizhou who had disappeared for a few moments, his complexion immediately turned from white to red, and his anger surged up one after another.
"What's going on? Why did he suddenly turn around?"
Beside him, a monk in black clothes approached, with a high status.
"I must have noticed it in advance. I heard that this person has always acted cautiously. We planned things too hastily, and there are indeed many flaws."
After Zhuang Min heard this, he gradually calmed down and clenched his fists tighter and tighter.
"Young Patriarch, since we have been exposed, we should leave." The black-clothed monk reminded.
"Well, I'll listen to you, uncle," Zhuang Min replied.
If the ambush failed, it can only be said that this is how it was meant to be.
Seeing Zhuang Min agree, the monk in black breathed a sigh of relief. After all, his young master has always lacked exercise. He usually only relies on his blood and brain to act. It's great to be able to heed the advice now.
So he ordered the tribesmen to dismantle the trap.
Suddenly, a chill surged up behind him!
But at this time, the black-clothed monk was shocked to find that he was frozen by a mirror light.
There was a "poof" and blood splashed.
An air gun penetrated directly through his lower abdomen, and he was about to die before his eyes.
This sudden change shocked everyone in the house.
"It's you!" Zhuang Min gritted his teeth as he looked at the young man who suddenly appeared.
It turned out that Lu Zhong had gone and returned, taking advantage of the people inside to dismantle the trap, sneaking in quietly, and then successfully attacked in one fell swoop, which also verified the power of Qian Feng Jie.
When the opponent is unprepared, he can directly break through the protective aura.
"I have to say, sneak attacks are really useful!" Lu Zhong thought to himself as he easily eliminated a mid-stage foundation-building monk.
Of course, the other party's lack of life-saving items may also be a reason.
After all, according to his observations, this group of people should not be from the sect.
Seeing that the young man who was in the early stages of foundation building not only turned around and ran away, but also rushed forward with a group of subordinates, Lu Zhong immediately stopped thinking about it.
After a fight, the first to die were the Qi Refining monks.
He did this deliberately so as not to let anyone go.
On the other side, Zhuang Min's heart felt cold, his eyes were full of fear, and he no longer had the enthusiasm.
"It's really embarrassing for the foundation-building cultivators!" Lu Zhong said with disdain in his heart.
After some questioning, he quickly learned the whole story.
Ascension Fruit.
A rare spiritual object that grows naturally on the earth, its value is no less than that of the Golden Pill. When mature, this fruit has the effect of cleansing the essence and cutting the marrow, which can significantly improve the monk's cultivation qualifications. Every time it is born, it will cause a bloody storm.
This time, a Spirit Ascending Fruit Tree was born in Tiebi Mountain.
The reason why Lingyue Sect sealed off Tiebishan was because they did not want this news to leak out.
Zhuang Min knew this news because his father, Zhuang Xun, was a deacon of Lingyue Sect and happened to be involved in it and revealed the news.
Somehow, there were only two fruits left on the Shengling fruit tree that was supposed to bear three fruits. Therefore, Lu Zhong, who left the Liu family that day, became a suspect in the eyes of the banker.
"Just like this, the suspicion finally fell on me?" Lu Zhong didn't know what to say.
For this reason, Zhuang Min directly set up an ambush and wanted to rob and kill him.
Sighing, he gave Zhuang Min a happy blow.
Then with a helpless look on his face, he left with eighteen storage bags.
…
That night, Louyanxi Banker.
Lu Zhong appeared here, and of course he felt that it was not enough to relieve his anger.
Even though he didn't do anything, he was almost ambushed and killed. It can be said that he was very angry.
Looking at the occasionally flashing formation in front of him, he couldn't help but sneer.
It is not difficult to see that this is a large formation of Guishui transformed wood that was carefully designed by experts according to local conditions. It is a relatively advanced type of protective formation. Using it as a family's mountain protection formation is considered a generous move. It can block a person.
Jin Dan Zhenren half a day.
I learned from Zhuang Min that there is only one foundation-building true cultivator left in the Zhuang family, and that is his father Zhuang Xun.
In other words, the Louyanxi banker is now empty inside. As long as he can successfully enter the formation, everything inside can be obtained.
Now, Lu Zhong is preparing to go in.
There is a gray fog space, and you can directly review the simulation in it, and you can do it quietly.
There are many ways to break the formation.
According to Lu Zhong's understanding, the so-called formation is a complex program composed of restrictions, so we can start from three aspects, one is to directly destroy the formation itself, which requires extremely strong strength; the second is to try to interfere with the operation of the formation,
It is not easy for a second-level formation mage to put it into a "downtime" state; the last step is to find loopholes in the formation. Because of the complexity of the formation, loopholes are inevitable. It just depends on how deep the loopholes are hidden.
As long as you can find loopholes, you can easily break the formation.
Lu Zhong could not do any of the above three points.
After all, he relied on self-taught formation methods and was not as good as those formation masters with a solid foundation.
But this does not mean that there is nothing you can do with this Guishui Transformed Wood Formation.
In the gray fog space, Lu Zhong can use his spiritual consciousness to interfere with the recall scene, so he can access the control token in disguise. Normally, it is useless to directly copy the control token. After all, the formation masters are not fools.
We would allow such a big loophole to exist, so we specially designed a set of change rules.
What he has to do now is to figure out this set of rules.
This needs to be accomplished with the help of recall scenes.
After some trial and error, a simple token was refined.
Sneak in successfully.
…
Banker's meeting hall.
Zhuang Xun, who hurried back, saw all the elders in the hall trembling with anger.
A bunch of idiots who fight internally and externally, and with greedy and stupid people like them, no wonder the banker has been deteriorating from a golden elixir family that has been passed down for thousands of years to what it is now.
"Tell me, who instigated Min'er!"
Zhuang Xun said coldly.
He was extremely disappointed with the banker. In the past, he wanted to help the banker for the sake of Min'er's succession as the patriarch, but now it seems that it would be better to disband it long ago.
Among the bankers and elders, no one dared to stand up and admit it.
To be honest, they were all participants in instigating Zhuang Min.
This time, two foundation-building cultivators died, causing the banker to suffer heavy losses. No one can bear this responsibility.
There was a "boom" and a loud noise suddenly came from outside.
"No, it's the direction of the secret warehouse!" An elder reacted and exclaimed.
If there is any place that has not been emptied by the banker now, it can only be said to be the secret warehouse.
"What are you idiots doing? Come with me!"
Zhuang Xun shouted angrily.
When he came back this time, in addition to wanting to punish the murderer who killed Min'er, he also had the idea of taking away the secret treasury. As for the miserable situation the banker would be in as a result, he didn't care at all.
Everyone in the hall seemed to be waking up from a dream and hurriedly followed him.
"stop!"
Suddenly, an almost invisible wind gun shot out with the sound of wind and thunder.
The target was clearly the leader Zhuang Xun, but the latter was worthy of being the deacon of the Lingyue Sect and had extremely rich fighting experience. He reacted in a very short time and immediately dodged away from the direction of the wind gun.
At that time, the sound of blood spurting continued.
It was almost a skewer of meat, and three banker Qi-refining elders died.
The remaining six people all looked frightened at this moment, but no one still had the will to fight.
At this time, Lu Zhong had already fought with Zhuang Xun.
The two sides fought each other hundreds of times with swords, but neither could do anything to the other.
Stepping forward, he shot out two magical swords and began to perform the secrets with his left and right hands at the same time.
"Chi Yangfa Swordsmanship!"
Zhuang Xun's face darkened, and he called out the name of the spell cast by the young man opposite. He had suffered great losses from this spell before, and his memory was unusually deep, so he could see it at a glance.
It was a pity to think that I had no defensive weapon to protect myself, and no offensive weapon to deal with it.
So, after blocking the attacking swords left and right, he quickly got away and flew back.
Lu Zhong was greatly surprised. He didn't expect that the opponent could tell that he was using Chi Yang's swordsmanship just by relying on his hand skills. He had no choice but to change his target and rush towards a group of banker elders standing next to him like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. However, in just one breath, six of them were killed.
Kill people to death.
What surprised him was that instead of stopping Zhuang Xun, he actually looked happy.
Then, Zhuang Xun sneered and flicked his hand to take out a small golden talisman.
"Is this a talisman?" Lu Zhong said helplessly.
"You're not too knowledgeable. Yes, this is a talisman!" Zhuang Xun fired the spell and sneered again: "You are the murderer of Min'er, so go and die now!"
With a bang, the little golden talisman burst out with a circle of spiritual energy, and an illusory little sword began to form.
Feeling the aura of the talisman coming towards him, Lu Zhong looked at the other party with a sarcastic face, and also turned his hand and released a small green talisman, which was the Qingyan Sword Talisman.
"You also have a talisman!"
Zhuang Xun did not expect that a talisman duel would occur in a small banker.
