As soon as he left the customs, Lu Zhong received the news.
Dongbuyu passed away three days ago.
Dongbu Clan and Dongbu Alchemy Workshop under his name have changed to different owners respectively. The only thing in common is that they are the elders of Changchun Valley. As for Dongbu Nan, he has disappeared and should not end well.
This matter has almost no impact on the Chengde Chamber of Commerce.
As soon as the New Year passed, Lu Zhong took the Chamber of Commerce flying boat and headed to Heling Sect.
After a month of flying.
Arrive at Helingzong Mountain Gate.
This place was originally called "Qingyang Mountain". Later, after the destruction of Qingyang Sect, it was occupied by Wuling Sect and became a branch. It was briefly called "Zhenyang Mountain", but as Wuling Sect became worse and worse day by day,
This place was also occupied by evil cultivators. It changed hands several times among families and pheasant sects, and is now called "Heling Mountain".
When Lu Zhong came here, all he saw was a construction site.
For many buildings, the foundations have just been dug and the foundation stones have not even been put in.
Looking towards the top of Heling Mountain, there is a brightly lit hall. If nothing else, Shui Ni should be there.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Shui Ni.
She was sitting cross-legged on the futon, closing her eyes and meditating.
Seeing Lu Zhong arrive, he smiled and said, "My dear disciple, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please sit here quickly!"
Take a seat and have a cup of spiritual tea.
Lu Zhong took a sip and found that the taste was pretty good.
The master and apprentice chatted for a while and soon got down to business.
Speaking of the three silver-armored corpses, Shui Ni frowned.
The general's tomb is adjacent to Qingliufang City at the foot of the mountain. If the silver-armored corpses in the tomb cannot be killed, the reconstruction of Fangcheng cannot begin. When the three silver-armored corpses in the tomb grow up, the security of Heling Sect will also be affected.
Influence.
Therefore, it is imperative to solve the hidden dangers of the general’s tomb!
"As for the three silver-armored corpses in the general's tomb, I have already done some research in advance. The location of the main tomb area is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, the Qingyang Gate had previously used tricks to change the original corpse-suppressing formation.
It has become a corpse-raising array, and three armored corpses have been hiding in the tomb. It is not easy to deal with them inside."
Corpse raising array?
When Lu Zhong heard this, he thought that the Qingyang Sect was really cruel.
It is estimated that their plan is to raise a few armored corpses with terrifying strength and make the Wulingmen who occupy this place pay a heavy price.
However, the Qingyang Sect did not expect that the Wuling Sect would be severely damaged after this battle.
Zhenyang Mountain was not occupied for long before it was taken over by evil cultivators.
Qingliufang City has been abandoned to this day. When he passed by, he could still see corpses surging inside. It was obvious that there were corpses entrenched in it. Naturally, Qingyangmen's revenge plan had failed.
"This is a topographic map that was explored for our teacher. Take a look at it, my dear disciple." Shui Ni frowned and took out a jade slip from his sleeve.
Lu Zhong took it and took a look. In addition to the map, there were some images inside.
The terrain of the main tomb area is indeed complex.
In order to prevent tomb robbers, the ancient monks also set up many traps, some of which are still in operation today, and can also cause a lot of trouble to Jindan Zhenren. In the process of dealing with the silver-armored corpse, you have to pay attention to these things.
Use at most 80%.
Look at the messages on the jade slips.
Suddenly, Lu Zhong thought of a good idea.
Although the main tomb area is buried deep underground, it is only ten feet deep.
Since it's difficult to deal with the three silver-armored corpses in the tomb, we might as well force them out.
"Master, I think it can be like this..."
Lu Zhong expressed his thoughts and was immediately approved by Shui Ni. She murmured: "I really got into trouble for a moment. Since I can't defeat the three silver-armored corpses in the tomb, I'll dig up the tomb and force them."
Come out, why didn’t I think of this method!”
With the monk's ability, it is not difficult to dig out.
"It just so happens that among the construction craftsmen, there are many who are good at earth magic. We can let them... No, don't go to such trouble, just use two star-pulling techniques, maybe they can be smashed open directly!" Shui Ni opened his mind and quickly thought of it.
solution.
They discussed until late at night before the two finalized the details.
Without further ado, start now.
With the speed of the Danjie monks, it only took less than half an hour to get from the Heling Sect to the general's tomb.
It can be seen from here that the general's tomb is indeed very close to Helingzong.
"Good disciple, memorize this formula well. This is a secret that is not passed down by the Immortal Spirit Sect of the Middle-earth sect. Only by adding this formula to the star-pulling technique can it become a complete secret technique." Shui Ni said and spread out.
A formula.
She glanced at the gathering clouds above her head and called Lu Zhong to climb up.
Soon, the two of them arrived above the clouds.
Seeing the bright stars here and the sea of stars hanging in the sky, Shui Ni nodded with satisfaction, then stretched out a hand and said: "Hurry up and connect the mana and true energy with your master. Together, we can use the secret technique of holding stars to summon people from outside the sky.
The stars blasted open the general’s tomb below!”
After hearing this, Lu Zhong was surprised.
The Xindao Star-pulling Technique turns out to be literal!
Seeing that Shui Ni had sacrificed his own Star Appraisal magic weapon, he stretched out his right hand without thinking about it, connected the magic essence with her, and then blessed himself with the Flying Star Air Entrainment Technique, and the "Star Blessing" of the star-patterned robe.
"Gift" is also activated, and the Star Gathering Technique of the Star Dictionary has naturally not failed.
Shui Ni's side also received a lot of blessings.
For a moment, the star power in the sky gathered crazily towards this side, lighting up half of the night sky.
The aura between the two of them continued to grow.
"It's now!"
Before Shui Ni finished speaking, Lu Zhong, just like her, used one-handed hand kneading to recite the incantation and perform the complete star-pulling technique. The true energy in his body was like a flood, and most of it was gone in three or two strokes.
Fortunately, this kind of mana extraction only lasted for a short while.
After half an hour, Shui Ni breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, now we just need to maintain the spell, and the meteor will fall on its own. Taking advantage of this time, let's restore the mana first, so as to prepare for the wait."
Lu Zhong nodded and took a "Zhong Ling Dan" worth three thousand spiritual stones.
While maintaining the effect of the Star-pulling Technique, he was refining the power of the Bell Spirit Pill, and his mana began to slowly recover.
It's dawn in a blink of an eye.
At this time, a bright light attracted his attention.
"It's a meteor!" Shui Ni said excitedly.
The full version of the Star-pulling Technique was not suitable for the Dan-forming monks to perform. Normally, only Nascent Soul Lord could summon the falling star. She thought she would have to fail several times before she could successfully summon the falling star.
But I don’t want to be lucky and succeed in one fell swoop!
In the blink of an eye, a dazzling stream of light fell.
The dark clouds that had been gathering for countless years were suddenly blown away by the meteor.
"Boom!"
Pillars of smoke and dust rose into the sky, mixed with bone fragments.
The storm swept across, and Lu Zhong was unable to keep his balance and was swept several miles away.
Looking towards the impact point of the meteorite, there is already an additional 100-meter crater there.
Layers of tomb structures can be seen in the pit, which are completely destroyed. There are only half of the sarcophagus left, and there are also broken magic circles that are ignited with spiritual flames. It is unknown how many ghosts, corpses, and corpses were killed in the impact of the meteorite.
"Roar!"
A roar came.
Three silver figures rushed out, and they were the silver-armored corpses in the tomb.
One of them had only half of his body left.
"Oh, there's an unexpected gain!" Lu Zhong couldn't help but smile when he saw it.
"Solve it first!" Shui Ni said.
Lu Zhong nodded and immediately joined forces with her to start a battle with three silver-armored corpses.
Without the corpse-raising array and the trap in the tomb, the silver-armored corpse was defeated by the two of them. The silver-armored corpse with only half of it was blasted into pieces in a few blows, and was then used by Lu Zhong with purple weapons.
The deep fire burned.
Suddenly, it turned into ashes all over the sky.
Each chooses one and continues the battle.
Lu Zhong blocked the silver-armored corpse with a sword, controlled the star mirror to block its approach, and at the same time pinched out his magic fingers and started to activate the armored wood thunder seal, and the magic power in his body suddenly poured out like a flood.
Countless thunder and lightning appeared in the void and blasted towards the silver-armored corpse one after another.
"Boom!"
Thunder and lightning struck, and the silver-armored corpse roared in fright.
In his mouth, he spat out meaningless words.
"When the spiritual intelligence is born, if it continues to grow, I'm afraid it will turn into a golden-armored corpse king! Fortunately, it was discovered early!" Lu Zhong stepped up to activate the thunder seal in his body.
He is just beginning to master the art of lightning, so he only has this method of attack.
It is somewhat similar to the thunder marsh that transformed into a Taoist nun.
The difference is that it is much more powerful.
Even so, it is enough.
After holding on for less than a moment, the silver-armored corpse was turned into ashes by the thunder and lightning.
Sensing that there was not much real energy left in his body, Lu Zhong saw that Shui Ni was at ease, so he sat up cross-legged in the air and continued to refine the remaining power of the Zhong Ling Dan to restore his mana to prevent unexpected situations.
Not long after, Shui Ni also defeated his opponent.
She naturally saw the scene when Lu Zhong used thunder to quickly kill the silver-armored corpse, but she didn't ask about it. After all, every monk has secrets in his body.
The two of them quickly recovered their mana and began to enter the tomb area to kill the ghosts and corpses inside.
While killing enemies, it was not without gains.
Lu Zhong found a star stone.
The star stone contains star power and is a rare and rare thing. A piece as big as a fingernail can be refined into the star mirror, which can save him three years of hard work, and the power of the magic weapon has increased a lot.
"This star stone alone makes this trip worthwhile!" Lu Zhong was delighted.
Not to mention, you also got the complete version of the Star-pulling Technique.
Continuing to go deeper into the tomb, there are first- and second-level ghosts and corpses on the road. Most of them are wearing tattered clothes, with the style of ancient times. They are all the corpses of ancient monks who were awakened due to the modification of the magic circle by Qingyang Sect. Solve them
It's all a matter of fire.
Killing along the way, Lu Zhong collected the bone dust along the way.
After a while, there was a bag full, worth nearly ten thousand spirit stones.
Came to an underground tomb.
Due to the impact of the meteorite, the middle part has collapsed, which happened to suppress a bronze coffin in the center. At this moment, "dong dong" collision sounds were heard continuously inside, and something was trapped inside.
Lu Zhong released the star mirror, which shot out a series of mirror lights.
In three or two strokes, the bronze pavilion was shot into a sieve.
A pale armored corpse rolled out from inside, its head had been shattered by the mirror light, and it was completely silent at the moment.
His eyes fell on the funerary objects. There weren't many valuable things inside, and they were basically taken away by the monks who came in earlier. Fortunately, Lu Zhong didn't expect to find anything, so he couldn't say he was disappointed.
Continue cleaning.
The purpose of the two of them this time is to clean up the main tomb area of the general's tomb to eliminate the possibility of silver-armored corpses being generated. As for the auxiliary tomb area, they will also carefully screen it to kill all the ghosts and corpses that may have broken through to the third level.
.
After it is cleaned up, this place will become a training place for Heling Sect disciples.
After half a month, it was finally cleaned up.
Lu Zhong never got another good thing like a star stone. He only collected five bags of bone dust that could be used as materials for refining weapons. The value was about thirty to fifty thousand spirit stones, which was a small gain.
Shui Ni will be responsible for handling the future matters.
Lu Zhong said goodbye to her and boarded the flying boat back to Changchun Territory.
…
In the days that followed, Lu Zhong would either practice in seclusion, refine the bottle of Golden End Pill he bought, continue to understand Jiamu Thunder Technique in order to continue to improve his strength, or accompany Yu Feng'er on a trip.
The days can be said to be peaceful.
If you cultivate to become a real person with golden elixir, troubles will naturally be avoided.
As long as you don't take the initiative to cause trouble, it's not difficult for a monk to live a good life.
time flies.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Zhong walked out of the quiet room and came to the courtyard.
Watching the maids placing lanterns on the treetops, I remembered that today happened to be the Lantern Festival.
"I can't believe time flies by so fast!"
He found that his concept of time became more and more indifferent.
Especially after a long period of seclusion, I often feel like every other day passes. If I hadn't been out of seclusion to accompany Yu Feng'er from time to time, I'm afraid I would be like the Jindan master outside who has been in seclusion for thirty or fifty years.
As soon as he lay down on the Taishi's chair, the maid brought him spiritual tea and spiritual fruit.
"Sir, my wife can't get away for the time being. She said she won't be able to come back until she faints."
"Well, go down and do your work." Lu Zhong waved his hand and asked the maid to step back.
While drinking tea, I recall the memories in my mind.
During this period of seclusion, he ordered the Chamber of Commerce to collect a lot of information about the Western Territory, but what surprised him was that he did not get any news about the changes in the Western Territory. Judging from the existing information, it was still as recorded in the classics.
Generally speaking, it is a land that is chaotic but still able to survive. Someone is obviously trying to confuse things.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As for sin cultivation, it seems that it does not exist.
"There is indeed a problem inside!" Lu Zhong held his chin in deep thought.
Take out the demon-killing talisman.
He tried to analyze this talisman, but the progress was extremely slow. The reason was that the entire talisman was encrypted. Unless he could get the Demon-Slaying Talisman Making Book, otherwise he would have to rely on his current talisman-making skills to draw this talisman.
It will take seventy or eighty years.
"It seems that when you go to the Western Region this time, you have to be careful."
Lu Zhong thought of this and reached out to take the teacup. Unexpectedly, Yu Feng'er was already lying in her arms. The outstretched hand slipped directly into her arms. The touch was still as delicate as ever.
"Pfft!" She laughed, raised her head and said, "Husband, what are you thinking about? You are so entranced."
"It's nothing, just some trivial matters." Lu Zhong shook his head.
"Husband, I have good news for you." Yu Feng'er said mysteriously.
Seeing her expression, Lu Zhong couldn't help but become interested and asked curiously: "What's the good news?"
"Hehe, the exploration of the East China Sea route was successful!" Yu Feng'er climbed up from him and said with her head held high.
"This is really good news!" Lu Zhong was greatly surprised. He thought it would take some time before the Chamber of Commerce could explore the East China Sea route, but he never expected that the progress would be so fast. Relying on a incomplete chart, he could successfully explore the East China Sea route.
This route was explored.
Successfully involved in the East China Sea route, Chengde Chamber of Commerce will surely develop rapidly.
The income from spiritual stones will definitely skyrocket as a result, but what he values is not this, but the elixirs that can be purchased from China after the route is successfully opened.
Especially the elixirs suitable for alchemy monks.
As long as the Chengde Chamber of Commerce can collect enough specialty spiritual items, they can continuously exchange for these elixirs.
"Although exporting raw materials in this way feels a bit like being exploited by the Middle-earth, who has allowed the cultivation of elixirs in the Middle-earth to mature and produce a large amount of elixirs every year? If it weren't for the southern barbarians' specialty spiritual products over there, what would happen here?
Where can I get so many elixirs?" Lu Zhong thought silently in his heart.
Resources are not enough anywhere.
Foundation-building pills and gold-forming pills are also scarce in China.
Except for the difficulty of obtaining skills and spells, the low-level monks in Middle-earth will not have an easier time than the low-level monks in the Southern Barbarians, and it will even be more difficult.
After all, what they have to face is a family of immortal cultivators who are more ferocious than monsters and beasts. They have firmly controlled all the resources of the Ten Thousand Years Sect, and their lifelong achievements have already been determined.
Don't think about it anymore.
The two of them stayed in the courtyard and did not go to the Changchun Street Lantern Festival.
Until dawn.
…
A few days later, Lu Zhong took the spiritual objects collected by the Chamber of Commerce and headed to the West again.
Summing up the experience last time, he found that the Western Region was in urgent need of various healing elixirs, so he specially ordered the Chengde Chamber of Commerce to purchase them in large quantities. No matter they were first-, second- or third-level elixirs, they were all welcome.
At this time, supporting Heling Sect comes in handy, which can well explain the purchase of pills.
After bidding farewell to Yu Feng'er, Lu Zhong soon came to Poisonous Insect Valley.
Didn't forget to take a look around.
While he was not here, three waves of monks visited the Poisonous Insect Valley, either to pick the elixirs in the valley or to get some rare poisonous insects. Fortunately, none of them found the teleportation array inside.
"It seems that we need to take some precautions."
Lu Zhong was ready to take some time to transform the Poisonous Chong Valley.
Danger alone cannot stop the monk's desire.
Only by making this place worthless can they lose interest in it.
Then activate the teleportation array.
…
Western Territory.
Red Clay Ridge.
Lu Zhong appears here again.
I didn't rush out, but followed the scene in the Poisonous Insect Valley, backtracking on the scene in the gray fog space, and carefully checked the surroundings.
"Very good, no one found this place!" He was very satisfied.
Without letting down his guard, he applied himself to the two skills of Condensation and Concealment, and lurked out quietly.
While in Nanman, the Chamber of Commerce collected maps of the Western Territory.
So this time, Lu Zhong finally didn't have to worry about blind flies, and he was going to go to the Yeling Fairy City seven thousand miles away, which was a large city no less big than Lingyue Fairy City.
According to the Chamber of Commerce, it is owned by the Ye Ling Sect.
"According to Yan Zhen's explanation, there is only one Yuanying sect, the Zhenyang sect, left in the vast western realm. Therefore, the Ye Ling sect, which was originally the Yuanying sect, should have been destroyed for a long time by this time, and a lot of the good things hidden there should be leaked out.
, I might be able to gain a lot from this trip.”
With this expectation, he began to act secretly.
Along the way, I was careful to avoid everyone.
It took more than a month for Lu Zhong to successfully arrive at Yeling Immortal City.
But what appeared in front of him was not the fairy city where monks gathered as expected.
The spiritual field collapsed and the city wall collapsed.
Bones piled up in mountains.
Judging from the traces left at the scene, there should have been a great war in Yeling Immortal City shortly after the sudden change in the Western Region. The Immortal City was completely destroyed in the war, and all the mortal monks in the city suffered a great disaster.
Lu Zhong searched around but couldn't find anyone alive.
Only a few demon cultivators were found, all of them looking like neither humans nor ghosts. They shuttled among the mountains of corpses, collecting the corpse energy escaping from the piles of corpses and the newly born wandering souls.
Use the Soul Searching Technique to search for souls one by one.
None of the demon cultivators were wronged, and the things they committed were beyond description. However, Lu Zhong was not concerned about these things. They all had a place name in their memory.
"The Secret City of Moshi."
Since the destruction of Yeling Immortal City, it has become one of the gathering places for monks in Yeling Domain.
After thinking about it, Lu Zhong decided to go to Moshi Secret Market.
There are tens of thousands of monks gathered there. It is a good place whether it is to gather information or to take action on spiritual objects.
…
In the wild mountains and ridges.
Lu Zhong came to the back of a sword-shaped boulder, where there was an inconspicuous small door.
There are several passages in and out of Moshi Secret City in the memories of several demon cultivators, and this is one of them with fewer users, which just meets his requirement of hiding his whereabouts.
"Bang, bang!"
Tap a few times regularly.
"Buzz!" The stone door cracked open to the side.
Behind the door was a monk wearing a black robe, whose cultivation had reached the late stage of Qi Refining and was actually in the middle stage of Foundation Building. This man looked at Lu Zhong up and down, and his eyes fell on his left hand.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing that there was no oath, the monk felt relieved and said hoarsely: "Ten spirit stones."
"Give."
After counting ten spiritual stones, Lu Zhong successfully entered the secret market of Moshi.
The Secret City of Moshi is built underground.
The monks used magic to hollow out large areas of rock mass, creating an underground space several miles in size. The buildings in each part of the structure looked well-organized and complex, clearly designed by monks who were good at construction.
The light source comes from a sunstone on the ceiling of the cave.
This is a special kind of stone. As long as spiritual energy is fed into the stone, it will emit light, and its color and texture are very close to sunlight.
Hence the name "sunstone".
Entering here, he was surprised to find that the spiritual energy had become pure again. After careful observation, he discovered that there was a kind of magic circle carved everywhere in the secret city. Judging from the restrictions of the magic circle, its main function should be
There are two types of purification and filtration.
"Interesting, it is necessary to collect this kind of magic circle."
Lu Zhong walked out of the passage and quickly came to the street.
Different from the Southern Barbarians, probably because of the troubled times, the monks on the streets, regardless of their level of cultivation, all wear masks on their faces and basically wear robes that hide their figures. They are rarely seen openly showing their faces, or wearing masks directly.
A monk coming out of his cassock.
Take the time to shop around and familiarize yourself with prices.
Things such as magic weapons are actually cheaper here than in Nanman.
What are really expensive are things like spiritual rice, elixirs, elixirs, etc.
Due to the mutation, ordinary spiritual plants cannot survive under the corrosive effect of the scarlet aura, and must be cultivated under the protection of formations, resulting in a huge increase in the cost of cultivation.
The cost is reflected in the selling price, which has skyrocketed ten to eight times.
As a result, many monks would rather absorb the mottled spiritual energy in spiritual stones than spend a lot of money to buy spiritual objects.
