The fire in the alchemy room was extinguished and there was silence.
Lu Zhong looked at the medicine residue in front of him, feeling very irritable.
He underestimated the difficulty of refining the Grass Spirit Creation Liquid.
The root cause is still due to lack of skill in refining the grass spirit pill.
"I'm still impetuous! Solving this major problem of the Zhang family has made me feel unstable, as if a villain has succeeded." Lu Zhong pondered for a while, and decided to start from the basics down-to-earth, first making the Cao Ling Dan into a pill.
After the refining rate reaches above the profit and loss line, try refining the Grass Spirit Creation Liquid again.
The only good news is that although the refining of Cao Ling Creation Liquid failed, most of the Pulse Quenching Creation Liquid was successfully refined.
After all, it is only used as a medicinal bath formula, and the difficulty of refining the medicinal solution is far less than that of refining an elixir.
Although the storage time of the refined Vein Quenching Creation Liquid is a bit short, as long as it is used up in time. In order to be able to practice the second level of Jade Vein Skill as soon as possible, it is worth the hard work.
After gathering himself, Lu Zhong waved his sleeves, crushed the garbage into powder, and took it away before leaving Ganquan Cave.
The time is approaching the "tide period", and the beasts outside Ganquan Island roar one after another.
The sea water turned dark blue, and huge waves came one after another, hinting at the unrest in the sea.
After entering the tide period, the activities of sea beasts were obviously much more active. What Lu Zhong saw when he came here alone was that three sea beasts climbed onto Ganquan Island. Among them was a rare "Sakura Lantern Salamander". Although this beast was a first-order sea beast.
, but the cherry lantern on its head is valuable and is now in his storage bag.
"Crash!"
There was a splash of water, and another sea beast floated in the bay in front of us.
Lu Zhong took an interested look at it and saw that it was a spotted sea liga that was of little value, so he withdrew his gaze. Not only was this beast full of poison, it was difficult to kill, and the materials could not be sold at a high price, so there was no need to hunt it.
Knead the secrets, recite the mantra, and use the qi-gazing technique.
Looking around Ganquan Island, there are lines of evil energy rising into the sky.
He had only been refining the elixir for a few days, but the number of sea beasts on the island had increased to eleven.
"I didn't think it was anything before, but now it seems that this 'tide period' is indeed a major obstacle to settlement in the open sea and an important factor leading to the destruction of settlements. If you really want to build a commercial port on Ganquan Island in the future, you must prove
The newly built commercial port has the strength to withstand the swarms of sea beasts during the tide, otherwise no ships will be willing to dock..."
Lu Zhong stopped his thoughts and stopped thinking more.
Building a commercial port will make huge profits, which will allow the Chengde Chamber of Commerce to take its strength to a higher level and give itself more spiritual stone resource returns.
But we still have to wait until he forms the elixir.
Otherwise, even if it is built, it will only be used as a wedding dress for others.
Then, a blue light slowly rose from the island and flew straight towards Changchun Fairy City.
…
Lintao Pavilion backyard.
Lu Zhong was dripping with water and in a miserable state.
On the way back, he was unlucky. He encountered a third-order whirlwind conch. This conch was ranked eighty-seventh on the Poseidon List and had the ability to overwhelm rivers and seas. If it hadn't been attacking a fleet at the time, he would have just taken a photo of it.
If he makes a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous.
It's simply outrageous. You can also encounter third-level sea beasts in the inland sea.
"No wonder the monks here are as afraid of the tide period as tigers."
Lu Zhong thought silently in his heart and let the maid help him change his clothes.
He will never take such risks in the future.
He also called the medicine boy and ordered her to prepare the medicine bath room, especially to prepare more water. Otherwise, if there is no water in the middle of the practice, the medicine that cannot be absorbed will be wasted.
Spiritual stones are hard to come by, so every little you can save is worth it.
Just waiting for Yu Feng'er to come over.
The maid came to report that she was too busy with work to spare.
Since the Chengde Chamber of Commerce defeated the Wangxi Chamber of Commerce, there have been more things pressing on Yu Feng'er. He is often too busy to work day and night. Lu Zhong knows this very well, and is also worried about whether it will happen if it continues.
Even her cultivation level is affected.
"Maybe it's time to reorganize the structure of the Chamber of Commerce." Lu Zhongmo thought.
For now, the personnel structure of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce is still controlled by the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
The advantage is that it can ensure that the chamber of commerce is in control. The disadvantage is that the various affairs are heavy and tiring. The larger the chamber of commerce, the more obvious the disadvantage. Those big chambers of commerce also face the same problem, so they usually branch out into multiple small chambers of commerce to disperse the chambers of commerce.
Long-term affairs.
A monk should put strength first.
Involving business is just a means to obtain resources, and must not put the cart before the horse.
It would be fine if it were anyone else, but Yu Feng'er was different.
After pondering for a while, Lu Zhong "wrote" the structure of the Chamber of Commerce on the talisman paper and ordered it to be given to Yu Feng'er, asking her to modify the Chamber of Commerce according to the structure. It doesn't matter even if there are more "losses" and "drifts" for this.
, after all, if you want the horse to run, you still have to let it eat grass. This is better than working to death yourself and delaying your cultivation in the end.
After doing this, the medicine boy came to report that the medicine bath room was ready.
Lu Zhong took two steps and then remembered that he hadn't served his concubine yet?
The last time Madame Butterfly attacked, both of her concubines were unfortunately killed. Afterwards, he even compensated their families with a sum of spiritual stones. In addition to a series of things that happened later, he has not yet gone to pick up the new concubine.
"Just wait until I bring my concubine back," Lu Zhong ordered.
"Yes, sir." Hearing this, the medicine boy bowed and stepped back.
Hurry to the city center.
Although it was not his first time here, Lu Zhong was still surprised by the variety of "goods" here. Not only were there male and female monks from all over the Southern Barbarians, but also the exquisite-faced Snow Girl from Northern Xinjiang, the blue
Their skin was like gelatin, and the strange thing was that they had two pairs of arms. Standing in front of them, they felt a chill coming over them. It was expected that they would be most suitable for this in the hot summer.
In addition, the Demon Blood Dancer in the West and the Black Jade Beauty in the East China Sea are both full of exotic characteristics.
I have to sigh, this world of immortality is really evil.
Lu Zhong didn't have any new ideas. His purpose of buying concubines was very clear, which was to help him practice martial arts. He didn't want to buy these concubines of unknown origin, so he planned to buy concubines with spiritual contracts as usual.
In this way, there will be no trouble or future trouble, and secondly, there will be no need to worry about causing trouble to Xiao Qiang.
There are quite a few serious concubines in the Lingshi City. There are female cultivators from the Changchun Region who volunteered to become concubines in order to obtain resources, and there are also those from other Nanman regions who heard about the prosperity of the Changchun Region. The quality is much better than that in the Lingyue City.
But at the same time, the price has also risen, so Lu Zhong had to choose carefully.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If it is too high, don’t.
If you are too thin, you will feel embarrassed.
After picking and choosing, he still likes the plumper ones.
After a while, there were two more concubines behind them. They both had Qi refining skills in their bodies. Their appearance was either like a moon or a shy flower, with convex and concave shapes, but they were not like Yangzhou thin horses.
One person is called Jiang Xueqiong. She has a graceful manner and comes from a branch of a large family of self-cultivated immortals.
One person is called Mo Ying, a female Taoist nun from Huanhua Temple.
The conditions for bringing them back are the same. While ensuring the supply of cultivation elixirs, they will also be given fifteen spiritual stones every month. In the future, as their cultivation level increases, the spiritual stones given will increase accordingly.
carry.
This is the market price of Changchun Fairy City.
The spiritual contract was signed for ten years. After expiration, under the same conditions, Lu Zhong has priority for renewal.
Priorities may seem ridiculous, but that's how the world works.
If you have the ability to learn the various arts of cultivation and earn spiritual stones, if you don't have the ability, you can only rely on your birth capital and use your body to earn cultivation resources.
This is the same for both men and women.
In the market, there are also many male cultivators waiting for price.
It doesn't matter whether there is dignity or not, after all, the world of immortality laughs at the poor but not at the prostitutes.
In the future, when someone succeeds in cultivation and establishes a sect, outsiders will still have to respectfully call him "senior" when they see him. If there is anyone who dares to criticize someone behind the scenes, they can be beaten, killed, or burned to vent their anger.
After a thousand years, all the old friends will turn into a handful of loess.
Does anyone remember that the ancestor of a certain clan was once a concubine?
After thinking about it, Lu Zhong was ready to choose one more concubine.
After all, Jade Vein Kung Fu cannot be practiced in one day, and it takes at least one hundred times of medicinal bathing.
The three of them took turns, and they still had some breathing room. Otherwise, if they had to assist in practicing every day, even the monks' bodies would not be able to bear it. One person who was not afraid would really cause death.
Just as he was thinking about it, a gust of fragrant wind blew into his arms.
But she is a female cultivator at the seventh level of qi refining, and her appearance is above average.
She has a good temperament, she is charming and delicate, and she is the kind that I feel pity for.
I don’t know what she did, but a foundation-building cultivator led people to chase her.
Sensing the approaching pursuers, the female cultivator screamed in surprise, grabbed the corner of Lu Zhong's clothes, and begged charmingly: "Senior, I am willing to serve as a concubine for you, I just ask you to keep my little girl!"
"Oh?" Lu Zhong looked at her with a half-smile.
A flash of inspiration flashed in his eyes, but he used the Qi Watching Technique.
If you look closely, you will be sure that it is indeed a Yin Yuan body.
This kind of spirit body is two words less than the Ruolian Yin Yuan body, but the effect is more than a little worse. It does not have the effect of allowing the monk to break through a small realm, but the advantage is that the Yin Yuan effect contained is stronger, which is suitable for him at the moment.
Necessary for practice.
He raised his eyes and looked at the female cultivator, and concluded that she was someone who wanted to take advantage of others.
Judging from the angry look on the chasing Foundation Establishment monk's face, he was probably not another one who had been deceived.
"Fellow Taoist, please leave this girl to me." The monk, who looked like a fat middle-aged man, approached and realized that Lu Zhong's cultivation level was higher than his own, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and said with cupped hands.
"I wonder what the reason is?" Lu Zhong asked.
"Yes..." The person hesitated for a moment and then spoke through the voice.
Just as Lu Zhong guessed, this female cultivator named Shui Sujun is really a cultivator who specializes in making money by being in the Yin Yuan spirit body and doing business without capital.
First, he uses sweet words to trick people into signing a fake spiritual contract, and then uses drugs to knock people out and escape before doing things.
If the middle-aged man hadn't practiced a secret skill and woke up from the coma in time, he would have lost both his personal and financial resources.
"This is the process." The middle-aged man said depressedly.
I thought I could go to Changchun Fairy City to have a meat shop and try something higher-end than my hometown.
But I never thought that I would be slaughtered as a pig.
After Lu Zhong heard this, he almost couldn't help laughing.
But in the end, he still held back, looked at Shui Sujun in his arms, and said, "Just now you said you were willing to be my concubine, can you take it seriously?"
Hearing this, the female cultivator in her arms quickly took out a spiritual contract and said with gratitude: "Yes, senior, please sign this spiritual contract. This little girl is willing to be my concubine for three years to repay senior for saving my life!"
"No, sign this."
Lu Zhong did not look at the spiritual contract handed over by Shui Sujun, but took out a general template. The template spiritual contract he and Jiang Xueqiong and Mo Ying signed before was the template spiritual contract provided by the market.
"This..." Shui Sujun's expression changed.
"Why, if you don't want to, forget it!" Lu Zhong put away the spiritual contract and left with his two concubines.
At this moment, a law enforcement team came slowly from a distance, and the city was also within the inspection range of the law enforcement team.
When Shui Sujun saw the law enforcement team coming, he finally couldn't help but panic.
She would rather fall into the hands of a middle-aged man and be held captive for three to five years than be caught by the law enforcement team.
The minimum penalty at that time is to mine in a bitter mine for ten years.
When the time comes to really come out, after so many years of mining there, I don’t know what I will become like.
"No, no, no, my little lady is willing." Shui Sujun was afraid that Lu Zhong would regret it, so he snatched the spiritual contract and dripped his own blood on it, and the contract was completed.
The sound of footsteps approached, and the law enforcement team came over.
"What happened?" The leader of the Changchun Valley Foundation Building Captain looked at the middle-aged man building the foundation path.
After another voice transmission, after understanding what happened, he also had a smile on his face. He turned to look at Lu Zhong and politely said: "Pavilion Master Lu, since this woman has committed a crime, please allow us to take her away."
Walk."
Although there are many foundations in Changchun Immortal City, there are not many monks in the later stages of foundation building, so their status is only lower than that of Jin Dan Zhenren.
Therefore, the captain has no right to treat him rudely.
"I'm sorry, she is already Lu's concubine, so she should pay the fine according to the rules." Lu Zhong said, handing out a bulging bag. There was a jingle inside, and it looked heavy.
The captain stretched out his hand to take it, weighed it, and showed a knowing smile on his face: "If this doesn't happen again, Fellow Daoist Lu must discipline my concubine well."
Later, under the supervision of the law enforcement team, Shui Sujun returned the property that he defrauded the middle-aged man, and the matter ended.
…
On the way back, Lu Zhong was sitting in the beast cart, hugging him from left to right.
As for Shui Sujun, he stayed far away.
For a long time, she seemed to have prepared her words, and said tentatively: "Senior, the young lady is willing to pay five thousand spiritual stones to terminate the spiritual contract in advance. Do you think this is feasible?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I will consider it only after five thousand, fifty thousand. Do you know how many spiritual stones I gave just now? Ten thousand!" What Lu Zhong said was true. If he hadn't taken a liking to it,
Yin Yuan Spirit, he would not spend a lot of money to save this girl.
Ten thousand spiritual stones are enough to sign ten concubines.
It’s not as if true essence is more expensive than essence.
With the help of Yin Yuan body cultivation, you can avoid mottled true energy in the body. After all, it is troublesome to have many types of Yin Yuan. Also, Shui Sujun is already in the late stage of Qi refining, and the quality of Yin Yuan is much higher than that of ordinary female cultivators in the early stage of Qi refining.
.
"But... the twisted melon is not sweet, senior!" Shui Sujun said dullly.
"It's okay, just quench your thirst."
Lu Zhong looked indifferent.
Hearing this, Shui Sujun felt despair.
It's over, it's really over!
This time I have just emerged from the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den again.
She was still unwilling to give in and said again: "I would rather die than surrender!"
"I admire you for your backbone!" Lu Zhong's face turned cold and he said coldly: "I suggest you take a good look at the spiritual contract and fulfill your obligations as a concubine honestly, especially the seventh, thirty-fifth, and the first hundred
Article 54: If you really cannot complete the spiritual contract, I suggest you commit suicide as soon as possible to avoid suffering unnecessary pain."
The existence of the spiritual contract not only protects the interests of the concubine, but also protects the concubine seeker.
Depending on the violation of the regulations, the backlash effects will be different.
At worst, he may lie down for a year or two, or at worst, he may die on the spot.
"I, I'm whining..." Shui Sujun cried.
"That's enough, do you think you're still a mortal woman? You cry, make trouble, and hang yourself. Do you really think I'm interested in your body?" Lu Zhong said with disdain.
It is true that Shui Sujun is more beautiful than the two girls in his arms, but she is far behind Yu Feng'er.
"Really?" Shui Sujun stopped crying and looked hopeful.
If this is the case, then it is not impossible for her to be a concubine for three years.
…
In the medicinal bath room, water vapor is lingering.
"Ah, it hurts!"
"It hurts me to death, can't you be gentler?" Shui Sujun shouted.
Lu Zhongcai was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Since you are a "radiator", you should have the consciousness of a radiator.
Sitting cross-legged in the medicine pool, constantly running the Jade Vein Kung Fu method.
At the same time, streams of true energy were transferred into Mr. Shui Su's body, and after combining with the yin energy inside, they were released. The true energy suddenly no longer felt as hot as before, but became extremely cool.
During the process, he continued to absorb the power of the Quenching Mai prescription.
Water was added over and over again.
Lu Zhong didn't stop until his meridians were almost tempered.
Tempering the meridians cannot be achieved overnight. Even if he still has a lot of the meridians quenching creation fluid, he still needs to use it separately. Otherwise, if he is greedy for temporary quickness, he will cause damage to the meridians, and in the end the gain will not be worth the loss.
Finish.
Shui Sujun supported the wall and came out, and couldn't help but said: "My surname is Lu, I will remember you!"
"I advise you to recognize your position clearly, otherwise you should choose a burial ground as soon as possible and lie down in it yourself." Lu Zhong said lightly, but there was a hint of murderous intent in his body.
If Sui Sujun can't recognize the reality, he doesn't mind helping.
Upon hearing this, Shui Sujun trembled and did not dare to speak anymore.
She knew that Lu Zhong was not lying.
If he dares to speak arrogantly again, he is afraid that he will have to choose a place outside the city when the spiritual contract ends.
"Woooooooo..."
The next day, it was Jiang Xueqiong's turn.
On the third day, it was Mo Ying.
The two girls are serious concubines, but they are not as busy as Shui Sujun.
They all collect money to do things, and are extremely simple transactions.
The rotation of three people can maximize the practice efficiency of Jade Vein Gong.
After going back and forth like this for more than ten rounds, most of the Vein Quenching Creation Liquid was consumed, and part of Lu Zhong's Great Zhoutian Meridian became jade. His cultivation speed increased again and again. Compared with before practicing the Jade Vein Kung Fu, it was no longer the same.
He estimated that if he could master the three levels of Jade Vein Skill.
I am afraid that the speed at which I can absorb spiritual energy will exceed that of a monk with three spiritual roots.
The future is promising!
…
Fast forward two months later.
In the courtyard, Lu Zhong was lying on the imperial chair.
While sipping the fine spiritual tea, my eyes seemed to be reminiscing about something.
At this time, there was the sound of footsteps, but it was Yu Feng'er who finally finished his business at the Chamber of Commerce and was able to get out.
Regardless of her manners, she threw herself into Lu Zhong's arms. Feeling the warmth from his chest, she smiled and said, "Husband, we haven't seen you for so long, do you miss me?"
"I do, of course I do." Lu Zhong touched her head and put down the teacup in his hand.
"whee!"
Yu Feng'er hugged Lu Zhong tightly with a happy expression on her face.
With these words, no matter how hard and tired she is outside, it's worth it.
"By the way, thanks to Mr. Hu, the status of the Yu family has improved a lot recently, and they have obtained the qualification to enter a secret realm. I wonder if Mr. Dao would be interested in accompanying me for a trip?" Yu Feng'er suddenly said.
"What secret realm?" Lu Zhong asked curiously.
Unlike other places, most of the secret realms in Changchun Territory are under the supervision of Changchun Valley.
Participation qualifications, except for a few important secret realms, are all allocated to the underlying sects and families as rewards for paying tribute on time.
Previously, when the Yu family was in decline, the amount of spiritual stones they handed over was just a tiny bit, so naturally they were not eligible to participate in the secret realm.
"It's the secret realm of Changchun. I heard that Changchun Valley relied on this secret realm when it started its business. However, after so many years of exploration, there are not many good things left in the secret realm. Fortunately, I bought a pill-forming auxiliary spiritual object this time.
It’s news about the whereabouts of the Purple Jade Spiritual Essence, so we won’t go in in vain.” Yu Feng’er put her arms around Lu Zhong’s neck and said affectionately.
"The secret realm of Changchun..." Lu Zhong had heard of this secret realm.
It is a secret realm with little danger, and those who enter it are all monks from sects and families, each with their own purpose.
I heard that some people developed elixir gardens because of the rich spiritual energy in the secret realm.
Generally speaking, as many monks come out as they enter.
Of course, the possibility of accidents cannot be ruled out.
As a secret realm that can accommodate foundation-building monks at most, even if they really encounter enemies inside, Lu Zhong feels that he has enough power to protect himself.
So I agreed.
The two were chatting, and Yu Feng'er suddenly sniffed it with his nose.
"Husband, have you taken a new concubine?" she said quietly.
Yu Feng'er smelled two more faint fragrances on her shirt.
"Yes, two and a half." Lu Zhong replied.
Mr. Shui Su is considered a tool man, so he can only be counted as half.
"Humph, that concubine is... ah!" Before Yu Feng'er could finish speaking, she exclaimed, her cheeks red with blood. She was obviously the one who provoked her first, but now she became shy first, "I, my concubine"
I haven’t finished talking yet.”
When he wanted to get up, Lu Zhong grabbed him with one hand and pulled him in front of him: "I've already come, but I still want to leave! How is it possible to leave something behind without doing something?"
…
In the days that followed, Lu Zhong's life continued as usual.
Without the thrills and excitement of the protagonist constantly going through life and death, the story is a bit bland and boring, so bland that people forget that they are in the world of cunning and deceitful immortals.
Fortunately, Yu Feng'er comes to spice things up from time to time, so it's not boring at all.
Time passes day by day.
The pulse quenching creation liquid was quickly exhausted. Before the end of the tide period, Lu Zhong could not replenish new liquid, so he had to temporarily stop practicing the Jade Vein Gong and focus on spells.
Star-pulling technique, combined star explosion.
He has basically mastered the two inherited secret techniques.
The Star Control Technique has infinite uses. It is essentially an advanced version of the Object Control Technique and is at the same level as the Sword Control Technique.
If this technique can be used well, it can gain great advantages in fighting.
It can be used to increase the flight speed of spiritual weapons, and it can also increase the speed of one's own movement. Once you have a deeper understanding, you can also master the magical effect of attraction and repulsion, and it will be even more powerful when applied to fighting skills.
The combined star explosion gathered half of the true energy in Lu Zhong's body, and the power of the explosion was quite astonishing. It could blast out a deep pit more than three feet deep and ten feet wide in the same place.
If it were to hit a monk, I'm afraid he would be filled with hatred on the spot even in the later stages of foundation building.
Unfortunately, the casting time is too long. Although the United Star Explosion has great power, it is not suitable for use in intense fights. The specific use depends on the situation.
Despite this, it is still an excellent secret technique.
