After leaving Ningyunfang City, Lu Zhong sneaked around Fang City, gathered his breath and circled several times to make sure that no one was following him, and then flew away from Fang City.
After flying thousands of miles away, I finally let go of my worried heart.
"A large shipment is still too noticeable. It seems that we still need to find some solutions." Lu Zhong thought silently in his heart. The one who was eyeing him at this time was the Western Territory Alliance. The other party obviously wanted something from others, so his attitude was still there.
He could be considered friendly, but if he were the spy of Zhen Yangzong.
With the Zhenyang Sect's annihilation of the Western Alliance, there may be many pill-forming monks ambushed by then.
If this really happened, he wasn't sure he could escape.
"We still have to change our thinking. It is no longer advisable to ship in large quantities of spiritual items that are in short supply. However, using spiritual stones to purchase specialties from the Western Region should not attract too much attention. As long as I buy them in small batches many times in different places, Zhenyang Zong will follow
It is basically impossible for the two parties of the Western Alliance to track me down." Lu Zhong thought secretly in his heart.
Not only that, you can also use spirit puppets to trade.
After several repairs, the spirit puppet's strength has reached the late stage of foundation building.
He can attach it to the spiritual magic circle.
As long as the materials used are of high grade, it can even be controlled thousands of miles away.
In this way, safety is guaranteed.
"I can even set up a teleportation array first!" Lu Zhong's thoughts gradually emerged in his mind. Medium and long-distance teleportation arrays cannot be deployed, but the sophistication and complexity of short-distance teleportation arrays within thousands of miles will be greatly reduced.
With his current level of formation attainments, it is still possible to learn it.
The Teleportation Array is also known as the Pearl of the Array.
When it comes to the mysteries of space, the difficulty of mastering them can be described as astonishing.
Lu Zhong is not greedy. As long as he can arrange multiple thousand-mile teleportation arrays, he can teleport thousands of miles away instantly. In this way, even the Nascent Soul Lord himself can't do anything to him.
"That's right, that's what it has to be!"
He breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of a solution.
For the sake of caution, Lu Zhong chose to take a few more detours, and gained more knowledge by the way, so he first went to the border of the Yiluo Domain, and then sneaked all the way to the Phantom Sound Domain of the Phantom Sound Palace, spending a year and a half.
, his footprints are all over the five regions of the Western Region.
After all this training, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the true energy in his body was much calmer than before.
"What you see on paper is only shallow in the end. It seems that if you have time in the future, you will have to work harder." Lu Zhong was overjoyed when he discovered this, and a smile appeared on his face full of dust.
His eyes moved to his waist, but he couldn't help but sigh.
Since he had been deliberately silent and moving along the way, it was inevitable that he would be stared at as a fat sheep. After going back and forth, his storage bag was filled to the brim, and he harvested 50,000 spiritual stones.
In addition, there are about a hundred storage bags, which can also be sold for tens of thousands of spirit stones.
"The world is going downhill! It's not my fault."
Lu Zhong sighed again, activated the teleportation array under his feet, and teleported back to Nanman again.
…
As soon as he entered Lintao Pavilion, a figure rushed towards him.
Who else could it be if it wasn't Yu Feng'er?
"Husband!"
"Yeah." Lu Zhong hugged her and touched her twice, but she was still familiar with the feel.
"Why did you stay out for so long this time?" Yu Feng'er looked at Lu Zhong, who was much darker and thinner, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him, and there was moisture in her eyes.
"Something happened on the way, so it took a little longer."
Lu Zhong sniffed the star-patterned robe on his body. Even though he had used cleaning techniques to maintain it all the way, it still inevitably had a peculiar smell. He took it off and handed it to the maid aside, then said: "How is it? Nothing happened at the Chamber of Commerce recently, right?"
"After my husband left, some clowns caused trouble, and I have already taken care of it!" Yu Feng'er raised her head, puffed out her chest, and said with a proud look on her face.
The emotion in my heart at this moment is so obvious on my face that I only need to engrave the words "Hurry up and praise me" on it.
"Well done!" Lu Zhong did not hesitate to praise.
Sometimes, it is better to speak out your recognition of others than to just say words such as guarding against arrogance and impetuosity.
Sure enough, as soon as Yu Feng'er heard this.
My heart suddenly felt like it was covered with honey, and my expression was as bright as a smile.
Next, the enthusiasm was so overwhelming that he was overwhelmed.
Maybe he has been working hard outside for a long time.
That night, Lu Zhong once again felt that a long separation was better than a newlywed.
It was still dark the next day.
Lu Zhong was not greedy for the pleasure of bed. He broke away from Yu Feng'er's arms, got up from the bed and dressed. After eating the seafood wontons prepared by the maid, he came to the quiet room.
Touching the storage bag, he took out a small jade box.
Open it, and there are ten star stones lying inside.
Each portion is about the size of a dice and sparkles beautifully.
One portion of such a large star stone can be worth five years of hard work in cultivating the magic weapon, and ten portions total fifty years. If all are refined into the star mirror, it may be able to directly break through from a three-level forbidden magic weapon to a fifth-level forbidden one.
The magic weapon with five levels of forbidden power is a heritage that only veteran monks in the early stages of forming pills have.
When refining began, the process was extremely difficult.
While Lu Zhong was controlling the speed at which the star stones were integrated into the star mirror, he also used the Purple Nether Fire to purify the impurities in the star stones. This was extremely laborious and extremely draining on the soul.
Day and night rotate, time flies by.
By the time the first batch of star stones was refined, more than a month had passed.
Seeing that the Lantern Festival was approaching, Lu Zhong first went to the small valley and then came back to spend the festival with Yu Feng'er.
It’s another sleepless night full of fireworks.
Continue to refine the star stones.
Time flies, and it’s two years later in the blink of an eye.
During this period, in addition to daily practice, Lu Zhong spent the rest of his time refining star stones. As each star stone was refined into the star mirror, the power of the natal magic weapon was also increasing.
After a little experimentation, the power was at least doubled compared to when it was first refined.
"I wonder how effective the Star Gathering Technique is?"
Lu Zhong's heart moved, and he activated the Star Mirror's own magical power.
Suddenly, a starlight came to me.
Although it is still daytime at this moment, the effect is no less than that of the previous starry night. Coupled with the blessing of stars from the star pattern robe, the whole person's aura is rising steadily, even comparable to the middle stage of pill formation.
"What a terrifying increase!"
"If it were on a starry moon night, my strength would have improved even more. I'm afraid I would be able to defeat him even in the middle stage of pill formation!" Lu Zhong was filled with ecstasy.
The risk taken on this trip can be said to be completely worth it.
He then thought of the Star Iron Stone, which could improve the effect of the Star Gathering Technique. Although it was not a simple addition, it could also bring about a considerable increase, which was reflected in the final strength and was an improvement that could not be ignored.
Forcibly suppressing the impulse in his heart, Lu Zhong decided to take it slow first.
Too much is not enough.
Xingchen Jian had just refined a large amount of star stones and needed to polish them. If he refined the star stones at this time, it might have the opposite effect, so he decided to wait for a while before refining them into the magic weapon.
As for now...
Take a few days off.
Lu Zhong left the quiet room and came to Changchun Street.
There is a "Fengya Pavilion" in the middle of the street, which is the top gathering place in Changchun Immortal City. To enter, you must at least be in the foundation-building stage. Only Dan-forming monks can enter the top three floors.
There was no need to show off his cultivation. As soon as he got off his beast carriage, a maid in the late stage of Qi Refining enthusiastically greeted him and took him to the private room on the top floor.
The view from Fengya Pavilion is unique, and you can have an unobstructed view of the fairy city from here.
The beautiful scenery was present, but Lu Zhong had no intention of looking at it.
Looking at the spiritual food on the golden pages that cost thousands of spiritual stones, even though he had an annual income of 100,000, he still felt a twinge of physical pain.
But in order to leave a good impression on the visitors, I could only endure the pain and bleed once.
There is no way, the teleportation array is rare.
If others can agree to go to the appointment, it is still because they are both Jiedan.
The complete teleportation array is basically in the hands of the big forces.
Most of the teleportation array diagrams circulating outside are defective products. It is difficult to arrange a teleportation array. Once a certain part is missing, the difficulty suddenly increases and it becomes almost impossible to complete.
After millions of years of inheritance, leaks will occur no matter how tightly it is kept.
This is the reason why the ultra-long-distance teleportation array was lost.
While leaning on the railing to enjoy the scenery of the city, footsteps were heard outside not long after. A jade-faced middle-aged man wearing a green cloak and a gold crown walked into the private room. He took a look at the dishes on the table, and his indifferent expression softened slightly.
This person is Long Qing, the head of the Zhenjianshan Long Family.
Zhenjian Mountain has been inherited for nearly ten thousand years and is one of the oldest Jindan families in the Changchun Region.
After so many years, the Long family has deep connections in Changchun Territory and even the entire Southern Barbarians. Therefore, even if they are fellow cultivators of the same rank, Lu Zhong's status is lower than Long Qing's.
"I have long admired the name of Taoist Master Long, come and take a seat!" Lu Zhong had to say enthusiastically.
During the process, Long Qing put on all the airs.
But Lu Zhong could only wait with his nose pinched, thinking that the power was an investment, and he would get it back when he entered the realm of Nascent Soul someday.
Sometimes, life is so helpless.
Even the formation of elixirs is no exception.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, let me put it bluntly! If you want to get the short-distance teleportation array, considering that we are both from the Changchun region, the Array Sword Mountain can be accommodating."
When Long Qing said this, he put down the chopsticks in his hand and paused before saying: "However, we have to exchange three ingots of Dark Flame Purple Iron. This is the only way. When the fellow Taoist has collected enough, he will discuss this matter again.
"
"Farewell!"
He left simply and didn't even want to say any more lies.
A dignified alchemy monk was treated like this.
Lu Zhong felt naturally uncomfortable in his heart, but this was the reality.
I no longer worry about this matter in my heart. After all, I am a monk who has been practicing for nearly a hundred years. I still need to have the ability to cultivate my mind to be able to bend and stretch.
Again.
When you succeed in practice later, you can get it back!
"It's not easy to get the Dark Flame Purple Iron." Lu Zhongmo thought.
This product is produced in the extreme south of the Antarctic, in a place called Mingyuan Continent. It is a place that has not yet been explored by ancient humans. It is a big problem just to get there, let alone find the Mingyan purple iron veins.
But it is difficult and we can only bite the bullet and do it.
"Fortunately, I have the Chengde Chamber of Commerce!" Lu Zhong thought.
The recent development of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce has almost reached its upper limit. If it goes further, it will affect the interests of the old chambers of commerce of wealthy families. Now he does not have the strength to conflict with these forces.
Changing the development direction of the chamber of commerce can not only avoid conflicts, but also accumulate strength.
"From Changchun Port to Mingyuan Continent, there is a group of Bihai Islands on the way. There are many special products there. In the past, adventure monks brought them back in small batches. If the Chamber of Commerce opens a market there, it might be a good source of money."
Once the foothold on the Bihai Island Group is established, we can develop towards the Abyssal Continent.
Lu Zhong made five ten-year plans.
In the first ten-year plan, the fleet landed on the Bihai Island Group to establish a foothold!
Develop step by step and eventually achieve your goals.
In order to obtain the teleportation array technology, it is worth spending so long.
"However, we have to guard against the risks that come with it!" Lu Zhong has gone through many trials and hardships, and naturally knows that the old chambers of commerce of aristocratic families are very good at picking peaches.
He didn't want to see that the money he had worked so hard to earn would end up being someone else's.
"Perhaps it's time to cultivate my own strength!"
Lu Zhong had long had the idea of establishing a sect.
The so-called sect is essentially a resource collection machine.
All rules and regulations, whether it is the training of disciples within the sect or the inheritance of skills, the ultimate purpose is to collect resources and occupy the resource-producing areas to support the sect controllers behind them.
To establish a sect, the initial investment must be considerable.
But once you grow up, the benefits of giving back are also great.
Not to mention anything else, just fighting.
It is better to have the help of the elites of the sect than to fight alone.
Also, when the supported sects develop, the Chengde Chamber of Commerce can also be balanced in power, so as to avoid being in trouble and losing this source of resource supply.
"If this matter is not urgent, let's draw up a thirty-year plan." Lu Zhong thought silently.
There is a prerequisite for establishing a sect. The Chengde Chamber of Commerce has to establish a foothold in the Bihai Islands. Otherwise, if a sect is established overseas, no monks would dare to join it.
…
In the quiet room.
Lu Zhong sat cross-legged.
The effect of Minghua Baoyu is excellent. When wearing it, the mind is peaceful, and the quality of the real energy converted is of high quality. It can save his time in forging spirits, which is equivalent to improving the efficiency of cultivation in disguise.
The improvement of cultivation is essentially a process of seeking the optimal solution.
The number of times a monk can practice in a single day is fixed. How to improve as much cultivation as possible in a unit of time has been a subject that the world of immortality has been exploring for millions of years.
Due to the shortage of resources, the current situation in the world of immortality has been formed, where qualifications are the most important thing.
Lu Zhong has only four spiritual roots. Even if his qualifications improved several times later, he still cannot escape the qualification restrictions. However, with a large amount of resources piled up, his cultivation speed cannot be compared with the sky spiritual roots, but at least it is not worse than the earth spiritual roots.
.
This is the optimal solution he found.
Put away empty bottles.
After finishing his daily practice, he still had a lot of things to do.
It is necessary to attract the star power to temper the body, and it is also necessary to practice the Tianluo Secret Child Technique, not to mention the cultivation of the natal magic weapon, the Barbarian Ancestor Devouring Heaven Technique, the routine forging spirit fire to temper the true essence, etc.
.
And so on, taking up almost all of his time.
"Five hundred years is a long life, but you must seize the time to practice and don't allow for any slack."
When Lu Zhong thought of this, he inevitably lamented that there was not enough time.
