Shui Ni is not just talking, she is actually taking action.
Commonly known as "facial cleanser".
Lu Zhong struggled to reject this kind of disrespectful and immoral behavior.
We are people with Taoist companions.
"Let Feng'er discuss the specific cooperation plan with Master in detail. As for now..." Lu Zhong glanced at the maid who walked in, and she nodded in this direction.
"Okay, let's eat first."
After saying that, he realized that this was the wrong word.
It’s all caused by water!
But that facial cleanser is really memorable!
I rested in Lintao Pavilion for more than half a month.
During this period, I spent a lot of time being affectionate with Yu Feng'er.
Occasionally, I share my cultivation experiences with Master Shui Ni, and both of them gain something.
After the chamber of commerce prepared the southern barbarian specialties and materials for repairing the teleportation array, Lu Zhong said goodbye to Yu Feng'er and Shui Ni and headed to the northern forest sea again.
Passing through Lvcuifang City, I didn’t forget to replenish supplies.
Arrive at Poisonous Insect Valley soon.
The previously dug passage had been occupied by a new swarm of insects, so Lu Zhong had to spend time cleaning up the poisonous insect swarm.
Entering the underground palace, he began to strengthen the protection.
The teleportation array is vital and cannot tolerate any damage.
Lu Zhong didn't want to go to the Western Region and have to take a detour through the Middle Earth to get back, and he didn't want the hope of having a baby to be lost, so he bought a third-level formation to protect the entire underground palace.
After setting up the array, start spraying insect repellent powder.
The nearby soil was fumigated and treated to a soil quality that poisonous insects hate the most.
By the time I finish all this, more than a month has passed.
After confirming that the area around the underground palace had become a restricted area for poisonous insects, Lu Zhong began to repair the long-distance teleportation array.
The biggest difficulty in repairing the teleportation array is to restore the defective restrictions.
Fortunately, the arrangement principle of this ancient teleportation array is the same system composed of multiple units as today.
He can divide it into blocks and perform repair tests one by one.
The gray fog space comes in handy again.
In the Huishuo scene, Lu Zhong can use his spiritual consciousness to interfere with reality and simulate the repair of the teleportation array to confirm whether the repair plan is correct, which can greatly save time.
Even so, it would still take less than half a year for him to repair the teleportation array.
This day.
When the last spiritual stone was inserted, the teleportation array immediately made a muffled "buzzing" sound and erupted with a dazzling spiritual light. Fortunately, it was isolated by the soil layer, so there was no need to worry about being discovered by people outside.
The vision lasted for an hour before slowly dissipating.
Soon, the light of the teleportation array softened.
Lu Zhong played the magic formula, and the feedback he received was that the two sides were connected.
"To be on the safe side, let's test it first."
The teleportation array has a return function.
If something is teleported and can be sent back smoothly, it means there is really no problem with the teleportation array.
Without further ado, start testing immediately.
After thinking for a while, he caught a cage of poisonous insects from outside.
Infuse the Teleportation Order with mana, then place it on the cage.
After exiting the teleportation formation, Lu Zhong played the magic formula.
"Buzz buzz!"
The muffled sound suddenly became intensive.
Then, the space within the range of the teleportation array began to expand.
Only lasts a moment.
The cage and the moving order disappeared without a trace.
I waited patiently for a month.
Lu Zhongcai issued a return order.
The space at the teleportation array was transformed into a lake again, and a dazzling light flashed through. The cage and the movement order were teleported back again. The poisonous insects inside were intact, but they were a little wilted after being hungry for a month.
Upon closer inspection, the mark he left on it was untouched.
"The integrity of the teleportation array is fine, and the next step is..." Lu Zhong's eyes moved to the teleportation array, and his calm mood began to become tense.
The Western Region has always been a chaotic and disorderly place in the records of the classics, and I will definitely encounter a lot of things there.
Replace the forty-nine middle-grade spiritual stones that have been exhausted.
Take a deep breath.
He slowly stood up.
A random figure appears in the lake and disappears in place.
…
"Buzz buzz!" The muffled sound gradually became weaker.
Lu Zhong endured his physical discomfort and put on a defensive posture. He immediately looked at the surrounding environment and found that this place was also an underground palace, and it was as dark as the other side.
The air is dirty and has nothing to do with freshness.
Play a few bright light charms.
He started to check.
Judging from the thick dust on the ground, no one has been here for a long time.
He also used the gray fog space to observe the surrounding five hundred feet.
Judging from the results, this teleportation array is located in a mountain, with a barren mountain range outside. The concentration of spiritual energy is pitifully low, and it does not look like a place where monks would come.
Until then, Lu Zhong finally felt relieved.
The entrance to this underground palace was also blocked by collapsed rocks and soil. Fortunately, it was not difficult to clear it. It only took him half an hour to successfully get out.
The sky here is dark red.
Looking around, there are all twisted and weird trees.
They are completely different from the southern barbarian vegetation. There are not even half of the green leaves visible on the branches. There are clusters of strange scarlet fungi growing on the surface, and scarlet flowers are blooming on some of the tree crowns.
Trying to refine the spiritual energy here, Lu Zhong showed a horrified expression on his face.
"The spiritual energy here can corrode the monk's soul?"
He could clearly sense that his soul was being corroded.
This situation usually only occurs when negative spiritual energy is absorbed, such as dead spiritual energy, corpse spiritual energy or blood spiritual energy.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems when absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"Something's wrong here!" Lu Zhongmo thought.
The situation in the Western Region is completely inconsistent with the records in the classics.
Thinking of a possibility and giving it a try, he found that forging spiritual fire could eliminate this kind of corrosion. As long as the corroded true essence was calcined, it would be protected from the effects of corrosion.
"Huh, it's okay."
Then Lu Zhong stopped thinking about it and prepared to find a market to inquire about the situation.
…
Panshiyuan Li family.
The Li family is a long-established family, and their ancestors once gave birth to real people.
Unfortunately, due to the influence of the general environment, it has been declining continuously.
Currently, the person with the highest level of cultivation in the clan is the 200-year-old patriarch Li Leqian. He was seriously injured in a martial arts fight a while ago, and his injuries have not improved even after a long period of rest.
"Leyuan, what was the result of buying medicine this time?"
Li Leqian looked to his side, and there stood a middle-aged man in rich clothes. Li Leyuan was his younger brother and the current acting patriarch of the Li family. Unfortunately, he was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
After the Li family passed into the hands of Li Leyuan, the decline may be difficult to change.
"I'm sorry, brother, I went to Qingyuanfang City this time, but I didn't buy the elixir needed for healing..."
The more Li Leyuan spoke, the angrier he became. He looked like he was gnashing his teeth and said angrily: "The Qingyuan Palace has gone too far to bully people. In the past, a second-level Zihe Dan could only be purchased with a hundred spiritual stones, but now even if I give it,
Ten thousand spiritual stones, but those gang of slaves are unwilling to let go, and they insist on demanding my Li family’s Thousand Rocks Indestructible Sutra!”
"Oh, everything has changed..."
Li Leqian had already expected this.
Since the Scarlet Devil Land experienced a change a hundred years ago, the adjacent Western Territory has also been severely affected, and the spiritual energy of the world has also changed, becoming more and more uninhabitable day by day.
The cultivation of elixirs is becoming increasingly difficult.
The spiritual fields outside were greatly affected and became only suitable for planting blood spiritual rice.
Only blood spirit rice can absorb and turn scarlet spiritual energy to survive.
At this time, a servant came to pass it on.
"Clan leader, there is someone outside asking to see you, and that person claims to have... a good healing elixir!"
"If you come here at this time, will you meet them?"
Li Leyuan looked solemnly and looked at his clan brother Li Leqian.
The latter shook his head and said weakly but firmly: "Probably not, they haven't made trouble here yet. Don't worry, if it is really them, I, Li Leqian, would rather not take this life than let the Li family risk being exterminated. , accept their elixirs and survive!"
"There's no point in guessing blindly here. Why don't we go out and have a look together. If the person's request is suitable, it doesn't matter if he agrees to it once and for all. If the lion opens his mouth, we can just drive him away. We won't lose anything."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, brother." Li Leyuan nodded.
Waiting in the living room.
Lu Zhong changed his disguise and his cultivation level reached the middle stage of foundation building.
I feel a little uneasy at this moment.
It has been a month since he arrived in the Western Territory, and he finally figured out part of the situation here.
The good news is that things brought by Nanban can be sold well here.
Not only the specialty spiritual objects of the Southern Barbarians, but also the normal spiritual objects can also be sold for astonishingly high prices because the pollution here is too serious.
Affected by the outbreak of the Scarlet Magic Land in the west, the world environment in the Western Territory is undergoing drastic changes and is rapidly changing in the direction of the Scarlet Magic Land.
Before long, this place will be another scarlet magic land.
There is also bad news. Corrupted by the scarlet spiritual energy or scarlet demonic energy, many monks in the Western Region have undergone drastic changes in temperament. In just one month since arriving in the Western Region, he already has hundreds of storage bags in hand.
Therefore, Lu Zhong is not sure now whether the Li family will be like the previous traders.
"If I see money and get interested, then I will have no choice but to fight back!"
Of course, this is not fishing.
There was a sound of gentle footsteps.
The rightful owner has arrived.
"Li Leqian, the current patriarch of the Li family, has met this Taoist friend." Li Leqian said with his hands raised, vaguely assuming a defensive posture, as if he was afraid that Lu Zhong would suddenly commit murder.
Ever since the heaven and earth changed, people's hearts have become more and more rotten day by day.
He ended up in this situation because he accidentally fell into a trap set by evil cultivators.
Opposite, Lu Zhong was sizing up Li Leqian.
"My eyes are clear and my vigilance is very high. It doesn't look like it has been severely corroded. It can be traded..."
Thinking of this, he cupped his hands and smiled: "Li Dong, casual cultivator, I am too lazy to say polite words. Let's get straight to the point. How much can you offer for this thing?"
As he spoke, he placed a jade box on the table.
Li Leqian did not go to get it, but asked a tribesman next to him to step forward and open it.
"Hiss, it's the third level Yuyang Pill!"
The Zihe Pill that he couldn't get could only make his injury better and no longer worsen, but this Yuyang Pill could completely improve the injury without leaving any sequelae in the future.
"Brother clan!" Li Leyuan's face changed drastically at this moment.
He was afraid that Li Leqian wouldn't be able to resist the temptation!
So he looked at Lu Zhong and shouted sternly: "Take it away, our Li family doesn't want your sinful cultivation things. Isn't it enough to kill so many people? Now even our Li family won't let it go!"
Sin cultivation?
Lu Zhong has often heard this word recently.
I thought it was those people who were motivated by wealth and found an excuse to rob.
But I never thought that there seemed to be something hidden behind it.
Lu Zhong sneered and replied slowly: "Haha, I am not a criminal cultivator!"
Hearing this, Li Leyuan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Leqian.
"You are not a sin cultivator? Please show me the palm of your left hand, the sin cultivator. The sin cultivator will inscribe an oath on it. If you are really not a sin cultivator, I will first make amends to my fellow daoist on behalf of my clan brother."
Lu Zhong thought for a moment and showed his palm.
There is naturally nothing above.
"really not……"
Li Leyuan looked shocked, as if he was very sure that a true sin cultivator would definitely engrave the so-called "oath" on the palm of his left hand. At this moment, seeing that Lu Zhong was not a sin cultivator, he couldn't help but doubt his own judgment.
"Leyuan, don't be too subjective in everything, as it will affect your judgment." Li Leqian sighed.
If it weren't for the fact that the Li family was in decline, there really would be no successor more suitable than Li Leyuan. He was really unwilling to hand over the Li family to this younger brother. He had good intentions in doing things, but he was too stubborn.
Turning to look at Lu Zhong, he pondered for a while.
"The Yuyang Pill is valuable. The Li family has nothing to exchange for it, so I can only give you a tablet of Bright Moon Essence."
This is what I want!
During this trip, Lu Zhong heard that there was a piece of bright moon essence in the hands of the Li family in Panshiyuan.
That's why I brought this Yuyang Pill.
Yuyang Pill is also a precious thing among the southern barbarians.
In fact, there is no third-level elixir that is not precious.
After all, the main elixir that can be used to make elixirs must be at least five hundred years old, and some demanding elixirs may even require the use of elixirs that take thousands of years.
"In the Southern Barbarians, ten Yuyang Pills can't be exchanged for one ingot of Bright Moon Essence, but only one is used in the Western Region!" Lu Zhong looked calm on the surface, but his heart was so excited that it was hard to describe.
Huge profits!
This is nothing but huge profits!
Suppressing his excitement, he did not agree immediately.
Li Leqian also said that he did not think that a tablet of Bright Moon Essence could be exchanged for a Yuyang Pill, so Lu Zhong had to increase the price to meet the other party's psychological expectations.
Okay, you asked me to add it.
"Add ten thousand spiritual stones!"
"Okay." Li Leqian agreed immediately.
As if he was afraid that Lu Zhong would regret it, he immediately took out a high-grade spiritual stone.
Later, Li Leyuan was asked to fetch a jade box.
Inside, there was a piece of Haoyue Essence that was as white as the moon and exuded a little bit of spiritual light. The quantity was neither too much nor too little, just the amount of a tablet.
After receiving both money and goods, Lu Zhong was dissatisfied on the surface, but in fact he was ecstatic inside.
"Fellow Taoist, do you have any such items with you?" Li Leqian collected the Yuyang Pill and suddenly had an idea in his mind, and asked carefully.
"What, you want to steal money too?" Lu Zhong glanced at him.
What I really want to say.
Actually it is.
Why, you also want to cross the level to kill the elixir?
"No, no, no! Fellow Taoist has misunderstood. I just want to buy more. It's rare to meet such a kind person like fellow Taoist!" Li Leqian was sweating. He couldn't do that kind of thing yet.
Although, for a moment, I did have this thought.
"A good person? Can you find a better word? It really seems like you are mocking me." Lu Zhong cursed in his heart, but thinking of receiving a piece of Bright Moon Essence from the Li family, he generously forgave him.
"If we find some more materials, we might be able to directly refine a triple forbidden magic weapon."
The quality of the magic weapon is also related to the spiritual materials used.
By using better spiritual materials, the power of the refined magic weapon will also be enhanced.
After thinking about it, Lu Zhong decided to sell some healing elixirs.
"There are only two bottles of first-level rejuvenation pills, each with a hundred spiritual stones. Do you want it?"
In Nanman, a bottle of Rejuvenation Pill only costs ten spirit stones.
He doubled it tenfold.
"I want it!" Li Leqian quickly handed over a bag of spiritual stones.
Nowadays, elixirs are becoming increasingly scarce, so it would be good to prepare more first-level elixirs.
Seeing such joy, Lu Zhong pretended to regret it, hesitated for a moment amid the nervous expression of the other party, and finally gave him two bottles of rejuvenation pills and accepted the bag of two hundred spiritual stones.
Out of Li's house.
After walking some distance, Lu Zhong couldn't help but smile on his face.
"This spiritual stone is so profitable!"
But I didn’t even smile twice.
Habitually using scene recall, he suddenly found that someone was following him behind him.
