Lu Zhong came to this seaside port city to treat his injuries.
Changchun Immortal City is very large, several times larger than Lingyue Immortal City. It is said that there are no less than a million monks gathered here. It is a place where sea and land meet, where fish and dragons are mixed. It can be divided into two major areas: the inner city and the port city.
The inner city is adjacent to a mountain of clouds and mist, where the gate of Changchun Valley is located. The entire city is neat and orderly, divided into districts and cities, and looks like a chessboard.
The port city is composed of several port areas. There is a mixture of fish and dragons here. There are not only local Nanman monks, but also overseas monks from the East China Sea Fleet. In addition, monks from the Western Region and Northern Xinjiang also occasionally appear. Even if there are monks from Changchun Valley to suppress them, there are still
From time to time, there were reports of murders and treasure grabbing, and secret killings continued.
In the west area of the port city, there is a splendid building. The entire door is made of pure gold, and a golden plaque hangs above it with the three characters "Jindanzhai" written on it.
This golden elixir is not that golden elixir. It was deliberately made by the master of Danzhai, layman Qian. This person has always loved money. He is a well-known medical practitioner and alchemist. His cultivation level is as high as the middle stage of elixir formation. It is said that he was in Changchun in his early years.
Gu served as the elder of Keqing. It is said that he resigned from the position of elder of Keqing because he could not stand the red tape in Gu.
Money lay people love money, but what they love is not gold and jewelry, but spiritual stones.
As long as you are willing to give spiritual stones to the money layman, then the alchemy inheritance that is extremely difficult to learn elsewhere can be learned directly here in Jindanzhai. There is no need to be like other places, and you have to become an alchemist as a disciple first, and wait until you pass many tests.
, only then can you slowly come into contact with the art of alchemy.
And don’t worry, you won’t learn anything real by handing over spiritual stones.
As famous as the money layman's love for money, he also has his reputation. He never deceives his apprentices, nor does he hold anything back. As long as he is within the study period, he teaches almost all his money. There are many alchemists or medical practitioners in Changchun Immortal City.
They all came out of Jindanzhai.
Standing in front of the gate, Lu Zhong stepped in.
He came here today mainly to heal his wounds.
Along the way, everything you see is glittering with gold.
Soon, he was led to a luxurious tea room by the maid.
A foundation-building monk dressed in brocade robes had been waiting inside. When he saw Lu Zhong, he smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Taoist, is there anything I can do to help you?"
Lu Zhongdao explained his intention, and the smile on the monk's face became even brighter: "Want to find a teacher to heal your wounds and learn skills? No problem, the teacher is free today, fellow Taoist, come with me."
On the way, the monk in Jinyi said again: "Fellow Taoist, you have come to the right place. Although our Jindanzhai charges are expensive, the advantage is that children and adults are innocent. As long as you agree to accept it, you are guaranteed to be cured. Teacher, what this old man likes most is Taoism."
You have such a difficult and complicated disease!”
Hearing this, Lu Zhong couldn't help but slandered in his heart:
"You must like spiritual stones!"
Seeing that the other party was so confident, he finally let go of what he had been holding on to.
Before coming to Jindanzhai, it was not like Lu Zhong had never visited other medical cultivators, all of whom were skilled in medicine. However, after seeing the meridians injured by lightning, they all shook their heads.
Obviously, his injuries were not easy to heal.
Now I just hope that the joy will not be empty.
As for the spiritual stones, it's not a problem.
While Lu Zhong was in Lingyue Fairy City, he had already accumulated a substantial fortune, with a total of 450,000 spirit stones, either from making and selling talismans, or from various unexpected incomes.
Such a huge sum of money is enough.
Under the introduction of the monks in brocade clothes, we walked through the corridor to the top floor of the first pavilion.
Inside sat a golden-crowned Taoist priest, wearing a robe covered with money patterns. After he listened to the Jin-robed monk explain Lu Zhong's situation, his originally aloof attitude suddenly became friendly.
But he didn't say anything, as if he was waiting for something.
Lu Zhong knew the rules of money laymen, and the consultation fee was one thousand spiritual stones, so he presented a jade box to him.
layman Qian took it and gently opened it. When he saw ten middle-grade spiritual stones arranged neatly inside, he nodded with satisfaction: "Here, let me diagnose and treat you first."
Without doubting his presence, Lu Zhong leaned over.
"The meridians are covered with thunder patterns, which were injured by Huayiguan Taoism. Junior, how did you provoke those bull-nosed gangs? Let that smelly Taoist priest use his secret skills to drag you down even at the cost of his life!" Qian Jian lived up to his reputation.
, he identified the cause of Lu Zhong's injury in a few seconds, and even revealed the name of the secret technique, Thunder Marsh.
Then, he looked Lu Zhong up and down again, and when he saw that what he was wearing was just an ordinary Taoist robe, he hesitated and said, "This injury is difficult to cure. It would take 150,000 spiritual stones to cure it here. Do you have it?"
One hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones is not a small amount for a foundation-building monk.
Hearing this, Lu Zhong's mind was spinning.
If he had been asked like this by a Jindan Master in other places, he would definitely not dare to reveal his wealth, otherwise he would be afraid that he would be followed immediately and disappear from the world quietly.
Before coming, he specifically inquired in many ways, and found out that there was indeed nothing wrong with this wealthy layman, and there had never been any reports of murder and treasure grabbing.
So he showed a distressed expression and handed out the spirit stone.
Master Qian took the money to do the work and immediately helped Lu Zhong heal his injuries.
The thunder and lightning entrenched in the meridians, which Lu Zhong could not get rid of, were eliminated without any resistance in front of a spiritual elixir refined by the Jindan Master, and there would be no hindrance to his future healing.
In addition, layman Qian also gave a bottle of elixir, saying that it was used to maintain the meridians and speed up the recovery of the meridians.
"Is there anything else?" layman Qian asked.
Lu Zhongben also wanted to propose learning alchemy, but considering that he had just given away 150,000 spiritual stones, if he proposed to learn alchemy at this time, he would be suspected of having a huge sum of money.
Facing this kind of fat sheep, I'm afraid no one can remain tempted.
So he took the initiative to leave.
Coming out of Jindanzhai, Lu Zhong looked happy.
"After this treatment, the injury can finally be healed!"
After making sure that no one was following him, he walked towards the inner city.
Changchun Fairy City has more opportunities to make money than Lingyue Fairy City. The sea and land meet here, and there are countless caravans coming and going. It is said that the goods never have to worry about the market, and some chambers of commerce are willing to buy them at high prices.
Lu Zhong didn't know whether it was true or not, so he decided to go back to the cave where he temporarily rented and recover from his injuries first.
…
Three years have flown by in the blink of an eye.
After a period of rest, Lu Zhong finally recovered from his injury.
He was not idle during the recuperation period. He changed his identity and went to a commercial area in the central district of Gangcheng. He spent 100,000 spirit stones to buy a shop and listed it as "Lintao Pavilion". He planned to operate it according to the spirit of Lingyue Fairy City to earn the money needed for cultivation.
resource.
Considering that Li Hejun is a mortal, running a store is not easy.
So he took in two more concubines, called "Mei Ning" and "Yuxiang" respectively, and four beautiful maids who were still virgins, so that Li Hejun could take care of Lintao Pavilion.
He was very tired from working day and night.
Fortunately, once these chores are done, you can relax for a long time.
Early the next morning, Lu Zhong was busy as soon as he woke up.
Houses in Gangcheng District are not valuable, so Lintao Pavilion is connected to a five-door house. The first three courtyards are classified as front yards for Li Hejun and his concubines and maids to live, while the last two courtyards are used for practicing martial arts and special places.
Choosing a shady room, he took out the formation flag array plate he had purchased in advance, and set up a three-layer array of silence, spirit gathering, and protection in one go.
Then embed the walls with spiritual wood, and you will have a qualified insect room.
After doing this, Lu Zhong took out a golden insect egg.
He has high expectations for the substitute king insect, hoping that it will help him in the next three or nine heavenly tribulations, so he plans to spend great efforts in cultivating it.
Soak the king insect eggs in the insect slurry, and it will immediately begin to absorb the spiritual energy in the slurry.
When the substitute king insect eggs were almost absorbed, Lu Zhong started to chant the incantation and began to use the secret method of the nine transformations of the king insect, shooting a series of finger spells into the eggs to encourage them to grow in a fixed direction.
After the spell was cast, Lu Zhong exited the insect room.
He continues to be busy. This time he is setting up a medium-sized formation. It is the "Dangshui Fubo Formation" that he obtained earlier. Its protective power is already good. With the blessing of abundant water vapor here, its power will be slightly improved.
Lu Zhong planned to use it as a protective formation to avoid being invaded by evil cultivators.
After setting up the protective array, they did not stop.
The formation was still set up, but this time it was a thunder formation.
It is called "Xiaogui Water Thunder Array".
The purpose of setting up this array is to plant the thunder grass. It has been growing for more than 900 years. When it grows the tenth branch, the thunder grass will transform and its effect of resisting thunder disaster will be greatly increased. Therefore,
It is very necessary to cultivate.
Choosing an open space in the courtyard, Lu Zhong set up the spirit gathering array without bothering, and then spread the prepared spiritual soil and spiritual manure, thus creating a simple spiritual field.
After the thunder formation is laid out, the thunder grass is planted.
…
In the following time, Lu Zhong traveled around to collect materials.
The spirit puppet obtained from Li Qionghua was seriously injured in the Changya Crypt. The spirit patterns engraved in its body were severely damaged, causing it to completely lose its ability to move, so it had to be repaired.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, the prosthetic body of the spirit puppet was not seriously injured, and the most important spiritual hub was not damaged either.
As the control core of the spirit puppet, the spiritual hub is as important as the soul of a monk. Once damaged, it is impossible to repair it with Lu Zhong's current ability.
It is not difficult to repair the spirit pattern. You only need to fill it with materials along the previously carved grooves.
The only problem is that spirit pattern materials are relatively expensive.
Lu Zhong only found out after taking it apart that the material used to carve the spirit patterns on the spirit puppet was actually silver essence that was used to refine magic weapons.
Thinking of the other body materials of the spirit puppet, it suddenly didn't feel strange.
Fortunately, the amount of silver essence is not much, and it only costs less than 100,000 spirit stones to buy it all.
The structure of this spirit puppet is basically modeled after a real person.
Therefore, the order of repairing the spiritual patterns was determined.
Starting from the heart where the Lingshu was placed, to the body where the Lingshi casing was placed, and then the complex and sophisticated hands, feet, and limbs, they were repaired step by step, almost exhausting him to the point of collapse.
The work is not over yet. Previously, Li Qionghua erased the facial features of the spirit puppet, and now Lu Zhong has to replace them. This is related to the professional ethics of an agency puppet master.
Just pinch your face and feel it is done.
Then plug in the spirit stone receiver and the spirit pivot, and the spirit puppet will "live".
After a detailed inspection, Lu Zhong was surprised to find out.
The spirit puppet's strength has actually returned to the mid-stage of foundation building!
