"Huh, I didn't expect that the third acupoint could be broken through so easily. This barbarian ancestor's sky-swallowing technique, combined with the gray mist space, really made me experience the feeling of a genius..."
Lu Zhong let out a long breath.
With a happy face on his face, he closed his eyes and felt the changes in his body.
After the third acupoint is opened, Qi and blood increase again.
Along with this, there was an increase in strength.
Approximately more than a thousand kilograms.
If every time he opens an acupoint in the future, he has such an effect, after all the acupoints are opened, I am afraid that his strength will not be inferior to that of the same level of mystical cultivators.
For a legal practitioner, this is definitely an incredible achievement.
After feeling happy for a while, Lu Zhong stood up.
Leave the quiet room.
Turn around and come to the alchemy room.
Recently, the Chamber of Commerce has collected a lot of elixirs, and the Bihai Sect has also begun to produce some. The accumulated materials are enough to refine multiple furnaces of elixirs or creation liquids.
Seeing that the elixir was about to run out, he prepared to start refining the elixir.
First, he threw the Ziyou Jihuo into the furnace and began to preheat the alchemy furnace.
Skillfully empowering himself with magical powers, starlight soon fell through the patio above the alchemy room and fell on Lu Zhong, greatly increasing his strength.
Then he called out Tianluotong.
After all preparations have been made, the alchemy furnace has been preheated.
Process after process, the spiritual materials were either successfully refined into elixirs, or were refined and turned into residues. The whole process went smoothly without any stagnation.
With the blessing of Tianluotong, the success rate of alchemy has increased a lot.
Even the elixir refined for the first time has a 10% chance of becoming an elixir. The more times it is refined, the higher the elixir success rate is. There is even a furnace where a top-grade elixir is refined.
There are two in total.
Although he knew it was just a coincidence, Lu Zhong was still happy for a while.
Continue to make elixirs.
Either fail or succeed, and soon all the spiritual materials will be exhausted.
It took him three months to obtain a total of seven bottles of elixirs, ranging in quantity from one to five. Nine portions of the third-level creation spirit liquid were enough to support cultivation for less than half a year.
Plus the elixirs exchanged from Changchun Valley.
Lu Zhong won't have to worry about elixirs for at least three or two years.
"It's not easy!"
In order to obtain these elixirs, he paid a lot of money. The Chengde Chamber of Commerce has developed well, but the Bihai Sect that has just started is a gold-swallowing beast, and its output is not directly proportional to its investment.
Fortunately, there are swarms of giant honey bugs.
Once the insect swarm gets on the right track and starts producing large amounts of honey, the sect's investment can be significantly reduced, and it can even be expected to turn losses into profits.
With this thought in my mind, I suddenly felt much more balanced.
"Husband!" Yu Feng'er's voice sounded.
Today she is wearing a lotus leaf skirt, with willow eyebrows, red lips and peach blossom cheeks. It can be seen that she has been carefully dressed up, and she is much more charming than before.
Seeing her sad look, Lu Zhong couldn't help but said:
"What's wrong?"
"Something happened at the Chamber of Commerce!" Yu Feng'er said gloomily.
"Um?"
Lu Zhongben was still thinking about what could happen to the Chengde Chamber of Commerce.
But after Feng'er finished explaining the situation, he realized how troublesome the situation was.
The whole story begins with the demon hunting order setting up the camp.
In this demon hunting order, the strategy adopted by all the forces was to exchange spiritual stones for good deeds. However, not all forces were as wealthy as the Chengde Chamber of Commerce. So after the spiritual stones were exhausted, they gradually began to reveal their true colors, using
They used all possible means to plunder and plunder, which resulted in a large loss of monks in the camp.
As a result, a group of camps that still deal fairly are particularly jealous.
No one dared to mess with the big forces, so they started to make trouble for the Chengde Chamber of Commerce.
This time, a total of three Jindan families joined forces, plus five Foundation-building families raised their flags to form an alliance, and jointly launched an attack on the Chengde Chamber of Commerce, which really caught the Chamber of Commerce off guard.
Maintaining the existence of the camp requires a large amount of supplies every day.
Most of the purchase channels for these materials have been cut off by the alliance. If this situation continues, I am afraid that the camp's material supply will soon fall into shortage.
Thinking of the consequences, Yu Feng'er felt distraught.
"Husband, what do you think we should do?"
"Don't panic." Lu Zhong held her in his arms and comforted her: "It's just the alliance of three Jindan families. If that's the case, I think the solution will be easy, but..."
"Just what?"
Lu Zhong paused and then said: "I suspect that the matter is not that simple. The ancestors of the three golden elixir families who are taking the lead are all in the early stage of elixir formation, and one of them is about to die. Logically speaking, he should not
Initiating such a conflict, especially with the Chengde Chamber of Commerce and me personally in charge."
It was precisely because of this that he suspected that there was someone else behind the scenes.
After Lu Zhong's reminder, Yu Feng'er also reacted and felt that this was very reasonable, and quickly gave a suspect, that is, the Fang family of Buhongshan.
"Fang family?" Lu Zhong was puzzled.
How could this matter be related to the Fang family?
If this matter is true, then the crisis faced by the Chengde Chamber of Commerce this time is not a small crisis. If it is not handled well, decades of hard work can even be turned into waste.
He did not believe that as the largest immortal cultivating family in the western region of Changchun, the Fang family of Buhong Mountain would be satisfied with a camp that could earn the sect's good deeds. If they had no regard for the assets of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce and the East China Sea route they controlled,
Interest is impossible anyway.
When I think of the Fang family, they are a family with three knots.
Lu Zhong felt agitated in his heart.
"The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop..."
He, Lu Zhong, just wanted to practice quietly, but who knew he would encounter things one after another. First, Shi Jing, a casual cultivator who coveted the three sects of Bihai, and now the Fang family of Buhong Mountain.
It’s really like one wave after another.
If you think about it carefully, maybe this is normal.
Where there are interests, there are disputes.
That’s all.
It’s better to think carefully about how to solve this matter first.
When it comes to the road, Lu Zhong is not willing to give up the Chengde Chamber of Commerce, a golden hen that can collect a large amount of elixirs for him and is worth as much as a spiritual stone mine.
So no matter what, you must try your best to fight.
Even if it’s the Fang family in Buhongshan!
After some discussion with Yu Feng'er, the two quickly came up with a solution, which was to avoid the near and seek the far away, organize a fleet of airships to go to the Lingyue Domain, and import supplies from there to supply the camp.
With Master Shui Ni's Heling Sect here, it is not difficult to gather supplies.
The only disadvantage is that the cost will increase significantly.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, this is the only solution.
As for taking action.
Lu Zhong thought about it and decided to forget it.
Expanding the matter would do no good to the Chengde Chamber of Commerce, and would even cause intensification of conflicts. If three Jiedans gathered on the opposite side, he would have no choice but to retreat.
…
It's early winter.
The business war between the Alliance and the Chengde Chamber of Commerce has reached a stalemate.
During this period, both sides fought each other with their own victories and defeats.
The Chengde Chamber of Commerce even had a slight upper hand, causing the alliance to suffer a small loss. Unfortunately, this could not fundamentally change the blocked situation.
The only good news is that due to the continuous expansion of the demon hunting order, more and more monks are participating in it, which has led to an increase in the number of monks in the camp. The number of good deeds earned every day has increased, and part of the good deeds earned has been sold.
Go and exchange it for spiritual stones.
The total income of the Chamber of Commerce actually increased slightly compared to before.
But Lu Zhong was not happy about this.
He has personally verified that the Fang family in Buhongshan is the mastermind a while ago and it is true. If the Fang family had not initiated this matter, the Chengde Chamber of Commerce would have earned even more.
This day.
Lu Zhong didn't want to endure it anymore.
Again, not wanting to cause trouble does not mean being afraid of trouble.
Now that you are being bullied to your head, there is no reason to swallow your anger and respond passively!
After much thought, he decided to take action.
But it's not about killing people, but preparing to play a guest role as an evil cultivator. Since the Fang family is the first to attack and uses some dirty tricks behind the scenes, there is no need to blame yourself for retaliating in kind.
As soon as there was a loss, Lu Zhong was ready to find it back.
Farm, elixir garden, mine...
The Fang family owns countless properties. When they can easily break through the protective circle, I would be really sorry for myself if I don't make a fortune like this.
Just do it!
After careful selection, Lu Zhong chose the Fang family’s purple water copper vein.
This is a key location for the Fang family, second only to the Buhongshan tribe and a miniature spiritual stone mine. It has produced copper mother several times, which is a rare spiritual material that can be used as a magic weapon material.
That night.
After investigating the situation, it was determined that no Danjie monks were stationed there.
Lu Zhong used the star-pulling technique.
A meteor strike.
The effect was better than he thought. The large formation covering the purple water copper veins was immediately smashed into pieces after being hit by the meteorite that consumed most of his mana to summon.
Without any hesitation, he rushed in.
It doesn't matter whether it's valuable or not, just put things in storage bags when you see them.
He has a lot of storage bags on him, all of which are good bags from Shifang, so he doesn’t have to worry about running out of space to put things in.
Anyone who dared to resist on the way was solved.
About half an hour.
Lu Zhong, who had plundered all the Zishui copper veins, had more than a dozen bulging bags on his body, and disappeared into the night in a few seconds.
The next day, this incident caused a sensation in Changchun.
Fang Xiaoyun, the contemporary ancestor of the Fang family, was said to be so angry that he almost went crazy, and then sent people to conduct a large-scale search, causing the outside world to speculate on how much the Fang family had suffered this time.
In this regard, Lu Zhong said that he had gained a lot.
Just two ingots of copper mother are enough to make up for the losses incurred by Chengde Chamber of Commerce due to the troubles caused by the Fang family in the recent period.
Plus those purple water copper ores and other miscellaneous things.
According to a rough calculation, you can earn at least ten thousand spirit stones.
Lu Zhong has already thought that since the losses have been made up, he will let the Fang family go for the time being, and then he will take action to recover them later when the losses have accumulated more.
After all, the purpose of his action was just to fight back.
As for now.
Just practice quietly.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong took out a pill and drank it.
Start a daily routine of meditating and practicing Qi.
If you are not as qualified as others and still want to achieve success on the road, the only way is to be diligent. Only by persisting for hundreds of years can you go further than the average person.
Other than that, there is no other way.
After finishing his daily homework, he turned around and went to the atrium.
What should I eat in winter?
Of course it’s hot pot!
There is a similar way of eating here in Changchun Region, but they have not yet thought of boiling mutton, so Lu Zhong was very proud of it, and Yu Feng'er couldn't help but marvel.
“Oh, it’s delicious!”
"Don't just eat meat, eat it with dipping sauce like me, try this fresh spiritual honey." Lu Zhong picked up the hot mutton and dipped it in Bihai Zong Xiaojing's fine spiritual honey.
The mutton is taken from the tenderest part of the second-order Qinggang sheep. It is a rare treasure in Nanman. That is to say, the Chengde Chamber of Commerce is rich and wealthy, so it can purchase such a head.
Even so, the good meat from a Qinggang sheep is only three pounds, six taels and a penny.
As soon as you take your mouth, the taste is indeed extraordinary.
There is no fishy smell at all, only the explosion of rich spiritual energy, and the unique sweetness of spiritual honey. The taste is worse than the spiritual food carefully prepared by top spiritual chefs.
The two of them took a piece of the mutton and quickly finished it.
This is just an appetizer.
Monks eat a lot, especially high-level monks. Lu Zhong and Yu Feng'er ate from morning until midnight, and then they put down the food without finishing.
It’s not that you can’t eat, but there’s no need to overindulge your desires.
Just satisfy your appetite and satisfy your cravings.
"Husband, why don't we go to Master's place? She always writes letters saying she misses us every day. It's been a long time since she went there." Yu Feng'er looked at Lu Zhong and suggested.
"Well, no problem." Lu Zhong thought so.
This time the Chamber of Commerce asked for shopping supplies, and Shui Ni provided a lot of help. It was both reasonable and reasonable to go there.
It just so happened that the Fang family had been very busy recently with the matter of the Zishui Copper Mine. It was impossible to get rid of it so quickly and continue to trouble the Chengde Chamber of Commerce.
But what should be kept secret should still be kept secret.
Early the next morning.
Lu Zhong took Yu Feng'er and turned into a rainbow, flying straight towards Ling Yue Territory.
It was a blast all the way.
With the speed of escape in the middle stage of pill formation, it only took less than half a month to successfully reach the destination. However, the two of them did not directly visit Heling Sect, but went to Qingliufang first.
When I returned to my hometown, it was a time of great change.
Although Xinfang City is still called "Qingliu", it was built on a new site, not the original site. The Li River, which is rich in peach blossom mandarin fish, also changed its course during a battle between monks, and there is no such thing as a Li River in the world.
After walking around Qingliufang, he couldn't find a familiar face.
This is normal.
A hundred years have passed, and things have changed and people have changed.
Then came to Heling Sect.
It is completely different from the last time I came here. The buildings here have been completed, and there is a prosperous scene inside the door. It is said that there are disciples who have reached the late stage of foundation building and will soon be able to advance to the false elixir realm.
Being called Lu Zhong made me envious for a while.
See Shui Ni soon.
"Good disciple, good daughter-in-law, please come in quickly!" She went out to greet her in person, with a happy face. When she saw Lu Zhong and the others coming over, she smiled from ear to ear.
Shui Ni is still Shui Ni from before.
He was still the same as before. When Lu Zhong opened his mouth and kept saying "good disciple", he looked completely lifeless. In her eyes, several years were just a matter of days.
The three of them talked as they walked.
Shui Ni was smiling at the corner of her mouth, her eyes constantly shifting between Lu Zhong and Yu Feng'er, either blaming Lu Zhong for not teaching Yu Feng'er how to conceive, or sending a message to Yu Feng'er to teach her some secrets to make the latter
I was so embarrassed that the sky was filled with red clouds, and I hesitated for a long time before finally saying yes.
"Master, this sect is becoming more and more prosperous!" Lu Zhong looked around and said to Shui Ni.
When Shui Ni heard this, the smile on her face became even wider, with a confident expression: "Hahaha, of course, your master and my methods are not bad, but it is thanks to your help, my good disciples."
When Heling Sect was founded, if it weren't for the help of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce, it would not have been able to develop so fast.
