The episode in Bihai has passed, and life is back on track.
Lu Zhong got busy again. He saw that the Chamber of Commerce had gathered together some elixirs, including six of the five-hundred-year-old main medicines, so he decided to go to Ganquan Island to refine elixirs that could improve his cultivation and increase his speed.
His cultivation speed picked up again.
On Ganquan Island, construction of a commercial port has begun.
There is no need for him to worry about the process, the people below will handle it.
When we arrived at Ganquan Cave, everything was as before.
With his previous experience of failure and the practice of practicing with several old elixirs, Lu Zhong was quite confident about refining the third-level creation liquid this time.
In the blink of an eye, it will be May, and in January it will be the tide period.
The construction of Ganquan Island Commercial Port is still in full swing.
In the Ganquan Cave, the spiritual fire in the Guishui Phoenix Wings furnace is gradually extinguished.
After months of continuous alchemy refining, Lu Zhong was extremely exhausted at the moment, but he did not bother to meditate to regain his breath, but instead turned his gaze to the pile of bottles and jars in front of him.
Third-level Yuming Dan, third-level Dendrobium Powder, and various third-level creation liquids.
They are all elixirs that enhance cultivation and are suitable for monks in the early stages of elixir formation.
Lu Zhong couldn't help but smile on his face.
With them, he can finally improve his cultivation quickly!
After another month, Lu Zhong adjusted his condition.
But he did not start practicing immediately.
Because the tide period has arrived.
The sky was covered with gray lead clouds, and the storm was carrying the dark blue sea water, which was constantly beating the harbor protection formation of Ganquan Island, and there were waves of beast roars coming from the distance.
This was the first time for Lu Zhong to see the violent outer sea during the tide period.
At this moment, it is not an exaggeration to say that this place is a forbidden area for monks.
Just around Ganquan Island, he found no less than ten second-order sea beasts, and countless first-order sea beasts and below. Amidst the thunder and lightning, mountain-like figures occasionally appeared, and those were third-order sea beasts.
And whether Ganquan Commercial Port can be established this time.
The key is whether it can withstand the attack of the third-level sea beast.
Fortunately, this kind of resistance does not require forceful resistance.
There is usually only one reason that prompts sea monsters to attack commercial ports.
That is a large population gathering.
This is also the reason why Changchun Fairy City often encounters sea beasts attacking the city. It is because there are too many people gathered in the city. For hungry sea beasts, it is the best place to replenish food after mating, and those high-level sea beasts will also
Take advantage of this to drive low-level sea beasts to attack Changchun Fairy City for your own benefit.
At present, there are less than a thousand people in the commercial port.
Logically speaking, it would not attract the attention of third-level sea beasts.
But Lu Zhong was really worried about his luck, so he had to stop practicing and take charge personally to prevent unexpected situations.
Fortunately, this time there was really nothing to worry about.
Until the tide period passed, there were no attacks by third-level sea monsters. There were only some violent low-level sea monsters that attacked the harbor defense formation, and they would leave on their own after a while.
…
Spring is coming, and the flowers are blooming, and it’s a new year in a blink of an eye.
After successfully surviving the tide period, it was only a matter of time before Ganquan Commercial Port was recognized by Changchun Valley. He would no longer need to guard the commercial port in the future, so Lu Zhong returned to Lintao Pavilion and began to practice in seclusion.
This practice lasted for a full year.
His cultivation has increased again, and he is not far away from breaking through to the middle stage of pill formation.
During this period, many major events occurred in the Changchun region.
What concerned Lu Zhong the most was naturally that Master Qingding was recognized as a baby seed. This incident caused a huge sensation in Changchun Fairy City. After all, once he became a baby seed, as long as he did not die in the process, the probability of successful baby creation would at least be
Reached 70%.
This conclusion is drawn from many examples throughout the ages and is not empty talk.
"We have to be on guard!" Lu Zhong said worriedly.
Although Master Qingding once said that he had avenged the murder of his disciples, people's hearts are always complicated and changeable. When he becomes the Master of Nascent Soul one day, he may have another idea.
Lu Zhong didn't dare to gamble.
After all, in front of Nascent Soul, Jiedan doesn't have much power to fight back.
Want to solve this.
Either kill Master Qingding or have a baby in front of him, but neither method is easy to achieve.
As for reaching a real reconciliation with Zhenren Qingding?
Lu Zhong thought about it seriously and realized that this might be a possible direction.
"Although the possibility of realization is not high..."
He thought so in his heart.
As March enters, there is good news.
After a long period of practice, Lu Zhong finally successfully opened the first acupoint of the Barbarian Swallowing Heaven Technique. Due to the gray fog space that was simulated in advance, the whole process was smooth and smooth.
After the acupoints are opened, the strength will be greatly enhanced.
I tried it, and at least I gained 1,000 pounds.
The physical aspect has also been enhanced. Driven by the nourishment of mercury qi and blood, the physical strength has also been greatly improved. It is not a problem to withstand low-grade spiritual weapons, and magic weapons can also be injured without dying.
This is still the first acupoint.
The Barbarian Ancestor's Heaven-Swallowing Technique requires a total of thirty-six major acupoints to be opened.
Maybe after you get through them all, you will really be able to have a physique comparable to that of a dragon.
There are many benefits to exercising, but there are also disadvantages.
Recently, Lu Zhong realized that he had really returned to his youth, and was able to kill Yu Feng'er so hard that he could stand up against the wall. This was probably a side effect of the strong Qi and blood, just like dragons are generally promiscuous.
This side effect was not significant, so he did not suppress it deliberately.
It is better to clear it than to block it.
…
Half a month later.
late at night.
Lu Zhong played the magic formula and pointed it at the center of his eyebrows.
There was a soul boy there that was like a real thing, shining with dazzling spiritual light. Then, as it opened and closed, a special vision suddenly appeared in his mind.
It is somewhat similar to the Qi Watching Technique, but more precise.
Everywhere you look, the authenticity of everything appears.
Focusing on the Jingshi magic circle, some errors and omissions that could not be seen before were now revealed under Tianluotong's gaze. This was something Lu Zhong did not expect.
"What a powerful secret technique!"
Lu Zhong was excited, thinking that he had really found a treasure.
No wonder Tianluo Mysterious Child Technique has become Tianluo Sect's sect-suppressing treasure. Its auxiliary effect on monks is indeed unmatched by ordinary spiritual eye techniques. It is of great use both in battles and in daily life.
Try drawing flying symbols.
With the blessing of powerful cultivation and Tianluotong.
It was like a god assisting me when I started writing, and I was able to draw all ten pictures in a row successfully.
This has never happened before.
If he could make a living by making talismans, he could make a lot of money from it.
Now that we have reached the elixir formation stage, the situation has changed dramatically.
It is true that the profit of third-level talismans is high, but the market size is not large. After all, only those monks who can afford it come and go. In terms of total income, the total income will not even be as good as that of second-level talismans.
This is also the reason why he gave up making talismans after reaching the elixir-forming stage.
"Not only making talismans, but also applying it to alchemy should also be of great help. At least it can control the temperature of fire more precisely. In disguise, it is equivalent to increasing the rate of elixir formation."
Lu Zhong thought silently in his heart.
Push the door to the courtyard.
"Husband, why are you so happy today?" Yu Feng'er, who has been nourished for a long time, has become even more beautiful and charming. Seeing Lu Zhong's face full of joy, she couldn't help but asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I just made a small breakthrough in the secret technique of cultivation." Lu Zhong held up a cup of spiritual tea, and Gudong Gudong drank it all.
"Congratulations to my husband!" Yu Feng'er said with a smile on her face.
"Oh, what about celebrating tonight?" Lu Zhong said deliberately teasing her.
"No, don't want it anymore?" When Yu Feng'er heard this, her color suddenly changed, she even stuttered when she spoke, and subconsciously wanted to get up and run away.
If we don't leave, the fields will be plowed by cattle.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing the change in her face, Lu Zhong couldn't help but laugh.
I asked you to collect pulse quenching prescriptions every day.
Now it's your turn to be afraid, right?
…
Three days later.
Lu Zhong arrived in Bidaofang City.
He didn't want to go to the Western Region yet, so he came here when nothing happened.
The purpose, of course, is to find a leader.
The Chengde Chamber of Commerce takes control of the Bihai Island Group. It seems that it is only a matter of time until now, so the plan to establish a sect should naturally be put on the agenda.
At this time, Bidaofang City was beginning to show its scale.
After receiving the guarantee, the Lianhai Alliance took the initiative to adjust its power structure into a guild. The nearly 10,000 monks under its command injected the most important popularity into the city. With the investment from the Changchun region's large and small chambers of commerce, many shops and goods have been opened here.
Although the variety is still lacking, it has been gradually improved over time.
There were many people on the street, but Lu Zhong searched for a long time but could not find the ideal candidate.
"Forget it!" Lu Zhong shook his head.
He is not the son of destiny, so how could he find a suitable candidate as soon as he goes out on the street? If such a person really appears, you have to worry about whether he was sent by someone else, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence.
Execution plan two.
Youdao is like the waves washing away the sand.
Lu Zhong was ready to come directly to the Three Bihai Sects.
He can still afford to support the three foundation-building sects. This amount of spiritual stones is only one hundred thousand a year at most. If the sect develops well, he can even earn back the spent spiritual stones.
Three sects, let them fully compete with each other.
In the end, the best will be chosen.
It may not be impossible to select sects with potential.
Half a year has gone by in a blink of an eye.
"Haiyuan Palace has established a sect. Anyone who enters must be an inner sect disciple. Fellow Taoists, don't miss it when you pass by! Who knows that today's sect will not be the Nascent Soul Sect that has been passed down for thousands of years in the future?"
"Fellow Taoist, do you want to join?"
“Join now and you’ll get a gift of settling in, so you’ll have no worries!”
Wearing blue seawater robes, the newly established monks of Haiyuan Palace are recruiting people in Bidaofang City, and their attitude is extremely enthusiastic. After all, for every person they recruit, they will receive a commission of ten spiritual stones.
"Go, go, go! Where did the Pheasant Sect come from?" A monk who was entangled said impatiently.
This scene is the third time in half a year.
First it was Zhenhaimen, then Bihai Sect, and now Haiyuan Palace.
After driving away the fly-like Haiyuan Palace monks, this man was also puzzled and said to his companions: "It's really strange. How come this blue sea suddenly became a geomantic treasure land, and three new sects were established in half a year?"
In the past, there were no sects in the Bihai Island Group who took a fancy to the resources and geographical advantages here and wanted to establish a foundation here. However, they were suppressed by the Bi Island Fellowship and the boat gangs plundered from time to time. Each time they ended in failure.
Eventually, the whole sect may even be destroyed.
But now...
The companion who was carrying the sword box looked disdainfully at the Haiyuan Palace monk who was going away, and said with a curl of his lips: "It's not the Chengde Chamber of Commerce that wiped out the fellow cultivators and the boat gang at once, so that this sect dog saw the opportunity, let's do what I say
But you can't join, you can't let them develop and take away the interests of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce!"
"Brother, what you said makes sense!" the monk nodded.
Those of them who went to sea to make a living, didn't just run away because they were unwilling to endure the oppression of the sect.
But we can't let another sect in Bihai rise up and continue to squeeze these casual cultivators.
On the side, Lu Zhong, who was pretending to be a middle-aged Taoist and drinking tea in a tea shop, almost spit out tea when he heard this.
"Also, thank you very much!"
…
The days passed day by day.
The overall situation in the Southern Barbarians is calm, with some local turmoil, but it is chaos without damage. As long as the Lingyue Sect has Jun Lingzhen in charge for one day, there will be no danger of annihilation of the sect.
Lu Zhong devoted himself to spiritual practice and would visit the Three Bihai Sects every year.
He gave himself the status of Supreme Elder, but only the top brass of the three sects knew about it, while the inner and outer disciples below knew nothing about it, thinking that the three Bihai sects were independent of each other.
During this period, he suffered a heavy hemorrhage. In order to win over potential monks, he also added thirty foundation-building pills to each sect's treasury, hoping to cultivate the true foundation-building cultivators of the three sects as soon as possible.
The sooner he cultivates it, the sooner he can return the borrowed true cultivation of Heling Sect.
Although Lu Zhong and Shui Ni were masters and disciples, they also had to settle accounts with each other. The twelve people they borrowed had to pay a salary of one hundred spiritual stones every month, which would be a large amount in the long run.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Zhong was actually in control of the three sects of Bihai.
This day.
A certain cave in Bidaofang City.
Lu Zhong received the news that someone had finally succeeded in building the foundation of Haiyuan Palace.
"It's not easy. I failed four times in a row, but the fifth one finally succeeded!" Thinking of this, he thought that he was finally free, and hurriedly left the cave and flew towards Haiyuan Island, the mountain gate of Haiyuan Palace.
A moment later, Lu Zhong appeared in the secret room at the back of Haiyuan Palace.
Everyone in Haiyuan Palace knows that this is the retreat place of the founder.
Standing outside was a middle-aged man with an uneasy expression, his name was He Bin. He was originally a family monk from the Hua Yi Domain. He belonged to a branch line and could not inherit the right, so he went out to sea to make a living.
After many twists and turns, he cultivated to perfection.
For a Foundation Building Pill, I decided to join Haiyuan Palace.
"Come in." A voice came from the secret room.
He Bin looked serious, straightened his clothes, and then stepped in.
"Disciple He Bin, I have met our ancestor!"
“No need to be polite!”
Only then did He Bin dare to raise his head. When he saw the young Lu Zhong, he was stunned on the spot.
This, this is the founder of Haiyuan Palace?
Lu Zhong had already expected He Bin's reaction. After all, the Zhenhai Gate in front of him and the new foundation-building monks of the Bihai Sect were all like this. He didn't bother to explain anything to him and said directly: "Congratulations to Master Nephew He for establishing the foundation."
Success, take the storage bag on the table, consider it my congratulatory gift to you."
After a pause, he handed over another token and a jade book.
How could He Bin not know the origin of the jade plaque and book? It was clearly the palace master's token and the disciple list of Haiyuan Palace. Mastering these two things meant that he was the new palace master of Haiyuan Palace.
Seeing Lu Zhong stuff something into his hand, he couldn't think straight.
"Ancestor, what is this?"
"Alas!" Lu Zhong recited the script for the third time, looking inexplicably sad, and sighed: "A while ago, your Senior Brother Li, Senior Sister Mu, and Senior Brother Cheng insisted on exploring a secret realm, and all three of them got trapped in it!"
"Ah?!" He Bin was startled.
If three foundations are gone at once, wouldn't Haiyuan Palace be...
No, there is still the old ancestor here.
This is Zhenren Jindan!
"I never force people." Lu Zhong continued to read according to the script. After all, the first two were fooled in this way. He looked at He Bin with eyes full of hope and said: "But now that the sect is in crisis, I still hope that Master He
My nephew, you can take care of the overall situation and take over the position of palace master!"
He Bin hesitated.
He joined Haiyuan Palace just to get the Foundation Establishment Pill, not sincerely.
But in front of the founder of the mountain, he really didn't dare to say the word "refuse".
"Forget it, let's get on with it first."
He Bin decided to wait for an opportunity later and refuse. So he knelt on the ground, Dongdongdong kowtowed three times, cupped his hands and said, "Disciple, I will certainly live up to my ancestor's trust!"
"very good!"
Lu Zhong said with a "pleased" look on his face.
He doesn't care what He Bin actually thinks, even if he sees through his script like the first two people, as long as they are willing to run the sect. When the three Bihai sects are established, as long as they are not destroyed by external forces, sooner or later
It allows disciples to establish a sense of identity with the sect.
Once he has a sense of recognition, his first ten-year plan will be considered a success.
