At dawn, Lu Zhong stood up and glanced at the sleeping Yu Feng'er. He quickly got dressed under the maid's clothes, went out and boarded the carriage that had been waiting for a long time. When he left the fairy city of Changchun, it turned into a rainbow light.
The rainbow light traveled north at great speed and disappeared into the pitch-black night.
The journey of more than ten thousand miles only takes three hours for the monks who are in the early stages of forming the pill.
Poisonous Insect Valley is still as peaceful as ever.
Occasionally, monks explore this place and see poisonous insects everywhere in the valley. Most of them take a few glances and then leave. There are also some who covet the elixir in the valley. After several attempts, the results are not worth the effort, they will leave in disappointment.
Lu Zhong turned over and took out three insect bags, which were filled with poisonous insect swarms.
It is specially selected.
Its characteristics are that it is impossible to tame, has no killing value, and is extremely aggressive.
At the same time, it also contains strong pollution.
It won't be long before the Poisonous Insect Valley becomes a place of poisonous miasma.
It is no longer possible to grow elixirs.
His purpose in releasing these insect swarms was to turn this place into a worthless and dangerous place, so that no monks would come from time to time and discover the secrets of the teleportation array hidden here.
Although Lu Zhong was confident that he had hidden the teleportation array very well, it was still better to be just in case.
After selecting three insect swarms and crippling them, he released the poisonous insect swarms he brought with him to prevent them from losing the territory and wasting his spiritual stones.
After doing this, he inspected it again.
After confirming that no one discovered the secret of the teleportation array, he stepped into the teleportation array and disappeared.
…
The sky in the west is still dark red.
As time goes by, the concentration of scarlet spiritual energy in the air becomes higher and higher day by day.
In this case, the alienation of the plants becomes more serious.
From a distance, it looks like a group of monsters with teeth and claws.
Stay in stealth state and move for a few days.
Lu Zhong found that his move was completely unnecessary.
At this time when the changes in the world are becoming more and more serious, even he who possesses the Purple Nether Fire, which can purify the corrosion of scarlet spiritual energy, must act cautiously.
Not to mention those low-level monks?
I'm just afraid that I'm hiding in the formation and won't dare to come out again.
Even if you beat the gongs and drums at this moment, you can't attract other people's attention.
Shaking his head, Lu Zhong did not let down his guard.
On the way, he encountered a shocking scene. It was a huge flying boat like a mountain. Scarlet clouds were billowing through the sky. When the whole boat flew over his head, it seemed as if it had flown over a mountain peak.
There are many forbidden rays of light at the bottom of the ship, which flicker and fade like a galaxy, giving people a huge oppressive force.
The word "Zhenyang" on the hull is particularly conspicuous, explaining the specific origin of the flying boat.
"Is this the mountain-shaking boat?"
Lu Zhong couldn't help but feel envious in his heart.
The Mountain-Shaking Boat can only be built in the Middle Earth. The Southern Barbarians have not yet mastered the manufacturing technology of such a giant flying boat. After all, the extremely complicated complex formation cannot be completed by just one sect. It usually requires dozens or hundreds of people.
Only upstream and downstream sects or families can work together to create such a behemoth.
His eyes passed over the gun ports on both sides of the ship, which were densely packed.
Although he disdains this backward design, he also knows that it is equipped with powerful Hunyuan cannons, which are no less powerful than the old Jindan Zhenren's full blow. With the Hunyuan cannons that often start in double digits,
And the protection is no less than the hull shield of the Zongmen Mountain Guard Formation.
Shaking the Mountain Boat is really something that even Nascent Soul Lord can compete with!
"When can I get one?" Lu Zhong stood on the ground and watched the boat leave. He couldn't help but think about how to get one for fun.
"I guess I won't have the chance until after the baby is born."
He immediately stopped thinking about it and continued on his way.
Lu Zhong's current location is the Yeling Domain where the teleportation formation is located.
The destination is a bit far away, which is the Immortal City of Yiluo, a hundred thousand miles away.
He found the news from the storage bag of the female cultivator in yellow, which contained the action log of the two of them. To be precise, it was a murder log. In addition to recording the people they killed, it also recorded the places they passed along the way.
According to records, there is a fairy city called Ziluo, where tens of thousands of monks gathered.
In just a few words, it was revealed that it was a prosperous place.
Another half month passed, and after being far away from the teleportation array, Lu Zhong began to use escape skills to rush on the road. There were not many monks seen on the road, and both sides actively avoided encounters.
During this period, we also encountered many gathering places for monks.
He resisted and did not go in to rest.
Otherwise, if you meet someone who is interested, you can figure out the trajectory of their actions with just a little analysis.
Then infer from the trajectory.
It is not impossible to find the location of the teleportation array.
Hurrying slowly, I have a dozen more storage bags on my body.
Murder and treasure grabbing are all too common in the increasingly chaotic Western Region.
Faced with the "enthusiastic" evil cultivator, Lu Zhong had no choice but to accept it despite his reluctance.
It's a pity that they are all "junk" and none of them are pleasing to the eye.
If sold, it could be worth tens of thousands of spiritual stones.
…
Wild mountains and ridges.
A secret cave.
Lu Zhong stopped and prepared to rest here for the night.
There are three magic formations embedded in the cave wall.
Under their influence, the scarlet aura in the cave was purified, leaving only the pure aura of heaven and earth, creating a safe and corrosion-free resting place.
Lu Zhong bought this from Moshi Secret Market.
"Spirit Suppression Array"
Lu Zhong once analyzed that the principle of the Spirit Suppression Array to purify the scarlet aura is to use a material called "Qiqiao Stone" to absorb the free scarlet aura in the air to achieve the purpose of purifying the air.
The formation itself is nothing more than a wind-absorbing formation.
"A three-aperture stone as big as a palm costs one thousand spiritual stones. Maybe this is also a business opportunity..." Lu Zhong looked at the strange stone that looked like a human face in his hand, and while using the Purple Nether Fire to burn away the scarlet spiritual energy in his body, he thought about it.
Possibility of earning spiritual stones.
The only problem is that the origin of this Qiqiao Stone is unknown.
When he was in Nanman, he also deliberately collected relevant information.
The names are similar, but they are two completely different things and have no effect of absorbing scarlet aura.
"That's all, it's useless to think too much."
Seeing that the possibility was unlikely, he put away the Qiqiao Stone.
Sit cross-legged on the spot, close your eyes and relax.
Nothing happened overnight.
Early the next morning, Lu Zhong started on his way again.
Perhaps it was because we were getting closer to Zianluo Immortal City that we saw more and more gathering places of monks on the road.
He had encountered several fights among the monks, but he chose to stay away from them. He had no intention of profiting from the situation. This trip was specifically for the secrets of the martial arts, and there was no need to create extraneous matters.
In this way, we arrived at Zianluo Immortal City safely.
…
Zuluo Immortal City.
It was originally called Tianluo, and it was the largest gathering place for monks in the Tianluo region.
After the sudden change in the Western Region, the Tianluo Sect was the first sect to be destroyed by the Zhenyang Sect.
Tianluo Territory was renamed Zuluo Territory.
Tianluo Immortal City naturally became Ziluo Immortal City.
This is an immortal city that is no smaller than the Immortal City of Changchun.
Judging from the remaining buildings in the city, it can be seen that in the past, this was a huge city of cultivating immortals with rows of tall buildings and huge palaces, and was extremely prosperous.
On the streets here, Lu Zhong saw a large number of mortals.
Their situation can only be described as miserable.
The clothes are in rags and the food is not enough.
His eyes were completely numb, and he couldn't see any hope for the future.
All I can do is immerse myself in working hard in order to get more rations from the hands of the immortal master.
Affected by the corrosion of the scarlet aura, there are not many plants that can grow normally in the Western Territory, and even fewer that are suitable for mortals to eat. Although there is a large formation in the city to protect them.
However, there are very few places where food can be grown.
Therefore, not only the mortals were short of food, but most of the monks were also short of food.
During the Qi refining period, the body has not yet become leak-free, so it is necessary to replenish the spiritual energy every day. The free spiritual energy in the air carries a terrifying scarlet spiritual energy, so it can only be replenished by taking spiritual objects or absorbing the spiritual energy from spiritual stones.
The low-level monks who have neither spiritual objects nor spiritual stones can only risk absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Their fate can be imagined.
Therefore, the corpse transport trucks that occasionally passed by not only contained stacks of mortal corpses, but also a large number of monk corpses. The bodies had obviously been drained of value, and it was unknown where they would be sent.
On both sides of the street, shops are trying their best to attract customers.
In order to gain attention, they will do anything.
However, in the face of the mutation, everyone needs to try their best to have a chance to survive.
How can I be willing to spend a small amount of spiritual stones to buy things other than life-sustaining supplies.
Only the shop that sells spiritual rice and spiritual meat always has a long queue, filled with monks holding spiritual stones in their hands looking to buy. They all look at the price board that changes every day, but they dare not speak out in anger.
This situation and scene are all true portrayals of the Western Region.
"From Ye Ling Territory to this Yuluo Territory, mortal monks are struggling to survive, but even so, they still can't see the slightest hope." Lu Zhong glanced at the spirit suppression arrays on the street. They were because of the Seven Aperture Stone.
It has not been replaced for a long time, and it has already lost its function. The monk responsible for replacing the spiritual materials has not appeared for a long time.
The concentration of scarlet spiritual energy is slowly rising.
If this continues, I'm afraid that Ziluo Immortal City won't be able to hold on for long.
"I really hope that the people in the Western Territory Alliance can develop the spiritual energy transformation technology, otherwise this Western Territory..."
I sighed in my heart and stopped thinking about it.
Change is the general trend.
He is just a small knot, how can he be changed?
Thinking of his idea, Lu Zhong started to take action.
I'm not in a hurry to make a move, but spend some time shopping around first to understand the prices here.
Kung Fu and secret techniques are on the streets, while spiritual creatures and rice are as expensive as heaven.
Without the control of the upper-level sects, coupled with the increasing scarcity of supplies.
For ordinary monks to buy exercises and spells, it is as easy as buying groceries.
But even so, it is still very difficult for Lu Zhong to find a suitable third-level secret technique. Compared with it, it is almost impossible to obtain the Southern Barbarians. In the Western Region, there are only a few more opportunities.
Secrets are secrets after all, and they always have their value.
What's more, it's the third-level secret technique that he likes!
A year and a half later, there was an underground trading meeting.
"Fellow Taoist, this complete volume of Tianluo Secret Child Art is a secret that was not taught by Tianluo Sect in the past. Only true disciples are qualified to practice it, and they can only practice incomplete ones. Only the knots selected by Tianluo Sect can be practiced.
Only with the infant seed can one cultivate a complete Tianluo Secret Boy." A masked monk with a hoarse voice who wore a black robe to hide his figure introduced.
If it was before the change in the Western Territory.
It is impossible for this kind of thing to leak out, and if it does, it will be recovered by the True Lord of Tianluo Sect.
All monks who have seen the secret technique will be killed.
Whether it's a casual cultivator, a cultivating family, or a Jindan sect.
Only Nascent Soul Sects with equal strength have room for bargaining.
But now, Lu Zhong has spent years and finally waited.
"What's the price?" he asked.
The masked monk pondered for a moment and then announced the price via voice transmission.
"I don't want spiritual stones. If my fellow Taoist has enough spiritual rice, or pills to restore spiritual energy, all he needs to do is take out spiritual objects worth 100,000 spiritual stones, and this volume of Tianluo Secret Child Technique will be yours!"
When he said this, he felt extremely nervous.
The Tianluo Secret Child Art is good, but the bad thing is that the value is too high, and ordinary people can't afford it.
In addition, his requirements were special. He did not need spiritual stones but only needed maintenance supplies. Naturally, there were very few traders who could meet the requirements. At one time, he even doubted that he could achieve it.
The person in front of me is already the 107th person to inquire.
"It seems that after being silent for so long..." the masked monk had a bad feeling in his heart.
On the other side, Lu Zhong was stunned.
A secret technique of the Nascent Soul Sect that is not passed down to anyone else.
unexpectedly,
Just one hundred thousand spirit stones!
It took me a while to come back to my senses, and I was already extremely excited.
After looking at the other party, Lu Zhongqiang resisted the thought of agreeing and bargained: "My fellow Taoist offered a price, which is a bit too much. One hundred thousand spirit stones is not difficult, but there are several companies in the city that can produce the supplies of one hundred thousand spirit stones."
Can you afford the price? I can only give you a discount of 40,000 yuan for the materials, and the rest will be paid in spiritual stones."
"This..." The masked monk hesitated.
This secret skill was taken away by the family with great difficulty.
For this, a heavy price was paid.
If it weren't for the current difficulty of the family's survival, it would not be sold at all.
"Eighty thousand, this is the bottom line."
"Don't be too greedy, fifty thousand!"
"Sixty-five thousand!"
"Okay!" Seeing the change in the other party's tone, Lu Zhong almost returned to his original voice. Knowing that this was the other party's final bottom line, he stopped lowering the price and agreed immediately.
Immediately, he threw out two storage bags, one containing spiritual objects and the other containing spiritual stones.
The masked monk took it without looking at the bag of spiritual stones. He quickly put his consciousness into the bag of spiritual objects. When he saw the contents clearly, he took a breath of cold air and froze in place.
I couldn't believe my eyes at all.
"Hiss, Lingmi!"
A whole storage bag of spiritual rice is worth sixty-five thousand spiritual stones.
With so much spiritual rice, a family can last for decades.
"Fellow Taoist, I still have..."
Reacting from the shock, the masked monk hurriedly stood up, but Lu Zhong was nowhere to be seen.
I pounded my chest and beat my feet, sighing that I had missed this rare opportunity.
…
With a bottle of "Rejuvenation Pill", Lu Zhong rented a cave.
Not forgetting to set up a ban to prevent peeping, he took out the "Tian Luo Mysterious Child Technique" that he had obtained. In addition to the technique itself, this thing also comes with a bottle of milky white spiritual liquid.
The spiritual fluid is called "Xianluo Jing" and is the key to perfecting the Tianluo Secret Child Technique.
Most of the 100,000 spirit stones he gave are worth this thing.
The Xianluo Spirit Tree that produced the Xianluo Jelly had already been destroyed when the Tianluo Sect was destroyed. It can be said that the remaining Xianluo Jelly is only used one part less, and this spiritual object does not produce much in the first place.
Lu Zhong suspected that what he had in his hand was the last one.
"Perhaps, I am the last person to master this Tianluo Secret Child Technique!"
I sighed in my heart and looked at the exercises carefully.
Tianluo Secret Child Technique.
Tianluo, Jutianwang.
It means that everything is in the secret child.
It is a first-class delusion-breaking secret child technique. There is no level of magic. Even if it is used at the Nascent Soul stage, it is still extremely sharp. The founder of Tianluo relied on this secret child technique to grow up.
After fighting invincible opponents from all directions and establishing a prestigious reputation that no one dares to claim, Tianluo Sect was founded.
This technique has five levels in total.
The first three levels can be completed without Xianluojiang.
After completing the cultivation, you can obtain Tianluotong, and it will be easy to detect falsehoods.
From then on, all kinds of illusory formations and breath-containing concealment techniques were invisible to Tianluotong.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong thought of a question.
"If there are monks who practice the Tianluo Mysterious Child Skill on the Zhenyang Sect, they might be able to see through my disguise and see my true face. I have to be careful about this!"
When you are excited, it is like pouring ice water to calm down.
"If there is, it should be when entering the city." Lu Zhong thought of this and decided to be on the safe side and wait for nightfall to go over and check.
He is in the gray mist space, and no one can detect it from a distance.
The Western Territory is so weird that there is no room for carelessness.
Suppress your uneasiness and continue reading.
The last two levels of Tianluo Secret Child Technique require Xianluojiang to be mastered.
After reading it, Lu Zhong finally understood.
Why does the Tianluo Sect only teach this technique to the Yingying Seeds?
Apart from this, he is the true disciple of the sect and has no chance to learn this secret child technique.
"Once you master the Tianluo Secret Child Technique, your eyesight will increase dramatically!" Lu Zhong was amazed.
According to the description in the scroll, a Tianluo Dharma Eye will be condensed by then.
With this Dharma, nothing can be hidden.
When you are fighting against an enemy, you can use your Dharma Eyes to easily see all of your opponent's movements.
Everything is under control!
When fighting against others like this, the winning rate is naturally terrifyingly high.
Even if you really can't beat it.
It's not difficult to escape.
After all, you can see everything, so it's easy to dodge attacks.
"It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a treasure of protecting the Tao." Lu Zhong took a deep breath and thought that he still underestimated the foundation of Yuanying Sect. I am afraid that the Yingying seeds in Changchun Valley also have similar secret methods.
"Once I master this technique, my ability to protect myself will be greatly improved!"
Realizing this, he couldn't help but laugh.
This trip to the Western Region was really not in vain.
…
Late at night.
A figure appeared near the east gate of Zuluo Immortal City.
Here is a building ruins.
It had been beaten to pieces by magic before, and withered bones could still be seen under the rubble.
"Tianluotong is not as good as Tianluo Dharmamu. Unless the owner deliberately looks this way, he will not notice me. At this moment, his attention should be at the city gate."
Lu Zhong had hope in his heart and did not want the facts to develop as he expected.
Scene review.
Start observing the other side of the tower.
The people stationed at the west city gate are the family alliance monks from the Qianluo Immortal City. The leader is a female cultivator in the early stage of pill formation. She stays in the room all day long to mend the male cultivator's furnace cauldron, seemingly to suppress the hidden wounds in her body.
There is nothing unusual about this woman, and it can even be said that she does not care about foreign affairs.
Under the female cultivator are two teams of escorts led by foundation-building cultivators.
Two teams of men and horses rotated day and night, responsible for guarding the city gate to prevent evil cultivators, mainly sinful cultivators, from sneaking into the city.
Time goes back to when I entered the city.
A false alarm.
The ending scene recalls and returns to reality.
Lu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was really worrying too much.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard footsteps approaching.
"is it here?"
"That's right, the location given by the secret message is right here."
"Okay, when you catch the big fish, I will report to the superiors and promote you to be the leader!" A red-haired middle-aged man wearing a splendid crown, led by an ordinary monk, walked into this place with a group of close followers.
Big fish?
Lu Zhong thought to himself, it couldn't be him.
He immediately disappeared to avoid being discovered by the middle-aged monks who came in.
This person's cultivation level is not inferior to him, and he is a veteran in the early stages of forming pills.
Lu Zhong didn't want to fight with the red-haired middle-aged man.
Whether you can beat him or not is one thing, the important thing is that your whereabouts cannot be leaked.
He didn't want to be like the protagonist in the novel, being chased from east to west, running around like a dog with no rest all day long.
Maybe it's because there are several layers of broken walls, or maybe I didn't expect anyone to be here.
Lu Zhong's existence has never been discovered by this group of people.
The red-haired middle-aged man has been staying in the center of the ruins, and the confidants he brought are distributed around. With a dry well as the center, everyone is a master of concealment, and they vaguely formed some kind of formation.
Quietly lurking as if waiting for something to appear.
Secretly, Lu Zhong was depressed.
He originally came here to investigate hidden dangers, but unexpectedly he took the initiative to get involved in an incident.
Judging from the conversation between the group of people, they should have received news of the infiltration of sin cultivators, so they set up an ambush here to catch a big fish of sin cultivators, who was an important figure in the Western Alliance.
Now he happened to be surrounded and it was difficult to escape.
"what to do?"
Lu Zhong's heart was spinning as he thought about his next action plan.
At this time, the previous memories about the West City Gate can come in handy.
The Immortal City of Zhenluo was impregnably protected by the formation, but he had already mastered the method of passing through the city gate.
The key is a control token. Once you get it, you can open a passage out of the city.
The token was in the hand of the female alchemy cultivator who was guarding the door.
It's not difficult to get the token, but this woman is suffering from a hidden illness.
Just detonate it and turn it into fish.
Soon, the moon passed its zenith.
"Why haven't you shown up yet, Shan Yuqiong, are you lying to me?"
The red-haired middle-aged man looked fiercely at the thin monk beside him, making the latter tremble in fright.
Shan Yuqiong suppressed the fear in his heart and explained to the middle-aged man: "Senior Ling, the information I received is indeed that in the middle of the month tonight, the Liujian Master will come to the city to receive a batch of sin cultivation materials.
!Look, this is the secret letter, I can swear to it!"
Ling Tongxiao read the secret letter and found that it was indeed a format commonly used by sin cultivators. He couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"I don't think you dare to play any tricks!"
His trip this time was specifically to capture Master Liu Jian.
This man is the founder of the Western Alliance, a thorn in the side of the Zhenyang Sect, and a high reward has been placed on his head.
With this merit, you can exchange for the qualification to pass the Immortal Prison Pass.
"If I can capture this person alive, I can leave this hellish place!" Ling Tongxiao thought to himself.
The changes in the Western Territory are becoming more and more serious, and continuing to stay here is tantamount to cutting off the road.
He is the most qualified genius in the Ling family for thousands of years, but due to the lack of spiritual objects in the Western Realm, he was trapped in this realm for a hundred years after breaking through to the early stage of pill formation.
There is no hope for the future.
Only by going to the Middle Earth can we continue to improve our cultivation.
Even, get a glimpse of the Supreme Nascent Soul Avenue.
That's why Ling Tongxiao didn't notify anyone else after receiving the news. He was afraid that the credit would be diluted, so he abandoned his own affairs and led his confidants to ambush here.
