Early in the morning, Lu Zhong got up and changed his clothes. After breakfast, he set off to Changchun Fairy City to prepare for the Changchun Domain Auction held every ten years.
I don't know if it was his imagination.
The recent situation in the Southern Barbarians always gave Lu Zhong a sense of turmoil.
The Lingyue Territory, which was originally increasingly chaotic, suddenly seemed to have been put on pause and suddenly stabilized. At the same time, the two border sects that had no sense of existence before were the Xuanyang Sect in the south and the north.
With the Tiandao Sect, there are frequent news circulating in the public.
As for the Changchun Region, there are also one or two incidents of genocide and genocide that are inexplicable to outsiders.
All are forces that are good at deducing the secrets of heaven.
Their destruction is speculated to be caused by the backlash of heaven. Such things have not happened before. There are clear records in various classics. Most of these forces have this ending.
But Lu Zhong didn't think so.
"It's probably that person who has already started to make some moves..."
The power that Transformation God Taizun can mobilize is beyond the imagination of just Jiedan, but he believes that the reason why the situation in the Southern Barbarians has become weird is probably inseparable from that person.
"You have to be more cautious in your actions in the future! You must not reveal your flaws."
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong couldn't help but feel lucky again. Fortunately, he had awakened the flying star golden elixir magical power, which could "move stars and change fights" to cover up the secrets of the sky. If it had been other magical powers, I'm afraid the body would have been cold by now.
Along the way, Feifei stopped.
When you are tired, take a rest on a desert island.
At dawn the next day, he arrived at Changchun Fairy City.
Viewed from the air, the huge explosion crater inside the gate of Changchun Valley has already turned into a lake. It is said that in order to commemorate the ancestor of Yun Yao, it was named "Yun Yao Lake".
"Yunyao..."
Lu Zhong muttered this word.
Regarding Yunyao Patriarch, judging from the current situation.
This person obviously did more harm than good.
It left a time bomb for the sect Changchun Valley and the entire southern region. The evil spirits at the late stage of Nascent Soul, you will know how dangerous it is if you think about it. It can make the huge Changchun Valley, a Yuanying sect that has accumulated for thousands of years, only
The seal can be suppressed by the Small True Yang Talisman, but it cannot be completely solved.
But more than that, the Southern Territory also attracted the attention of the Avatar.
Ascend!
For monks, this word is almost synonymous with "immortality".
Even the perfectly good Western Territory can be turned into hell, with countless casualties. It is conceivable that in order to ascend, this god-incarnation Supreme Master will definitely eliminate obstacles along the way.
"Oh, what a troubled time!"
Lu Zhong stopped thinking and walked into the auction house.
Immediately, a fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged maid came up to him and led him to sit in a simple and elegant box. Then he was served preserved fruit tea, which was all the standard that Jindan Zhenren should have.
The auction will begin soon.
There were many things at auction, but not many caught his eye.
…
"The top-grade foundation-building pill is personally refined by Lord Wanmu. After taking it, there is a 50% success rate in foundation-building... The starting price is 100,000 spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than 1,000!"
Hearing the host's introduction, Lu Zhong suddenly became energetic. He was a little surprised and thought to himself: "I didn't expect to see such a good thing during this trip!"
There is a reason why this Foundation Building Pill is so expensive.
If it is purely for achievement and foundation building, taking this elixir is a waste. Its real function is to give it to the elixirs and even the infant formation seeds in the big forces to prevent them from failing to build the foundation due to accidents, which will lead to the final breakthrough to the high realm.
If it's not enough, you're wasting your good talent and a lot of resources.
"One hundred and fifty thousand!" Lu Zhong made a price.
Seeing everyone fiercely fighting for it, he also joined in the fun.
After some bidding, it was finally bought by a mysterious monk in the venue at a high price of 210,000 spirit stones. If there is no accident, this person should be from a big force.
In the future, there will inevitably be a series of troubles surrounding this foundation-building pill.
…
"Silver marrow, whether it is refined into a magic weapon or used to practice magic, has infinite benefits... The starting price of the bidding is 150,000 spirit stones, and the payment must be paid with top-grade spirit stones!"
Lu Zhong couldn't help but breathe faster when he saw the target object appearing.
He had been thinking about it for so long, but he never expected that this object would appear at the auction. When he first heard the news, he was stunned for a while. It was not until he repeatedly verified that it was true that he finally accepted the shocking news.
"Now that I think about it, maybe it was deliberately leaked from Changchun Valley." Lu Zhong guessed.
Condensed silver marrow, whether it is refined into a magic weapon or used in magic practice, is inseparable from the word "thunder and lightning". The conditions for the birth of this object are extremely harsh, and it must be the thunder sea above the nine heavens.
Then it fell to the ground and was nourished by thunder and lightning for thousands of years before it became its marrow.
Thinking of the evil spirits, the intentions of Changchun Valley came to light.
"If you take a picture of this thing, you will most likely receive an invitation from Changchun Valley to slay evil spirits..." Thinking of this, Lu Zhong suppressed his excitement and began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind.
To be prudent, he should choose to give up the bidding.
But then I thought about it, this move was too deliberate. After all, many people in the outside world knew that he had the thunder method, which would inevitably arouse people's suspicion.
"Well, how would I normally act without knowing that person's plan? There is no doubt that I would fight for it with all my strength and not give up until I get the thing..."
Lu Zhong made a decision quickly.
"Two hundred and twenty thousand!"
There are not many strong competitors.
Lu Zhong only made three bids before winning the auction for the silver marrow.
Looking at the silvery thunder liquid like lead and mercury in the translucent thunder-sealing jade box, he thought that the Jiamu Thunder Seal could finally take on new changes.
Follow the instructions on the silver plate.
After refining the silver marrow, a "thunder" thunder pattern will appear on the armored wood thunder seal in the sea of consciousness. By activating this thunder pattern, you can gain the ability to condense the thunder gun.
Unlike the "Thunder Swamp" which covers a huge area, the power of the Thunder Gun is obviously more concentrated.
In my mind, I can't help but think of that water dragon.
If there was a thunder gun, the strength comparison between Lu Zhong and it would be at least 50-50.
"Very good, we are one step closer to eating the dragon's flesh!" He has not forgotten this grudge, and has already made a plan in his heart. When he is stronger than this dragon, he will immediately come to his door.
It’s not just about killing dragons and eating meat.
He also wanted the dragon soul to make a flag, the dragon skin to make clothes, and even the dragon bone, blood, scales, and claws... he would not let go of them all. If he did not utilize them to the extreme, it would be difficult to understand the hatred in his heart.
…
Next, Lu Zhong took another seven bottles of elixirs.
Since Feng'er formed the elixir, the elixirs for improving one's cultivation were no longer enough.
Although Yu Feng'er has repeatedly expressed that she is satisfied with being able to form the elixir. But considering the relationship between the two of them and her hard work in running the chamber of commerce, Lv Zhong also has to show her affection and reason.
Therefore, the elixir for Yu Feng'er's cultivation cannot be lacking no matter what.
"The third time of Ice Vein Pill!"
"Let us congratulate this senior!"
Got another bottle of elixir.
Lu Zhongda had the attitude of coming to buy goods and spent a lot of money.
Later, I took a picture of a laurel robe of spiritual weapon level, and an ingot of iron essence needed to refine the magic weapon.
The magic weapon Yu Feng'er wants to refine has been determined. It is the "Ice Soul Spirit Sword" she chose, which can bring out the advantages of the ice soul spirit body to the greatest extent. Although this sword is a triple forbidden magic weapon at the beginning, it is
Coupled with the transformed ice soul spirit body after forming the elixir, it can exert the power of five levels of forbidden magic weapons.
When I first knew this, I envied Lu Zhong to death.
Not long after, new auction items appeared.
"Shengling honey is rich in rich spiritual energy. Its effect on improving cultivation is comparable to that of second-level elixirs. There is no risk of accumulation of erysipelas. This batch of spiritual honey contains a total of one thousand bottles...the starting price is fifty thousand spiritual stones!"
"Here it comes!" Lu Zhong said in anticipation.
The so-called spiritual honey is actually the honey insect spiritual honey.
The name was changed to keep it confidential.
Bringing Shenglingmi to the market is a new direction for him to raise cultivation resources. After losing the financial source of the Western Region, it is not an easy task for the Chengde Chamber of Commerce to support two alchemy monks alone.
Especially in order to refine the chemical liquid, he has been burning spiritual stones and collecting spiritual stones all year round.
It is for this reason that it is very necessary to open up new sources of income.
When Yun Yao gave Chu Dayun the secret recipe for breeding insects, he had already known it clearly. After all, the other party's self-concealment was a joke in front of the gray fog space.
Relying on "Yu Chong Powder", the spiritual honey production of the big honey worm has greatly increased.
From this, Lu Zhong came up with the idea of selling honey.
Whether this newly opened financial source can realize his plan to earn a large amount of spiritual stones depends on the market's feedback and the monks' acceptance of this thing.
Limited by cost, the price of Shenglingmi is still a bit high.
After all, giant honey bugs cannot produce honey out of thin air. They need to consume a lot of demon pills to cultivate "bacteria lawn", and the bacteria lawn needs to be transformed twice by spiritual insects before it can be produced into spiritual honey.
The consumption in the process is not small.
The final result is that for the same level of cultivation, it will cost 30% more spiritual stones to upgrade spiritual honey.
In order to avoid the risk of erysipelas, is it worth spending an extra 30%?
This is a matter of opinion.
But soon, Lu Zhong realized that he was worrying too much.
This batch of spiritual honey was fiercely competed for, and was finally sold for 75,500 spiritual stones, which was 10,000 more than he expected. It was obviously very popular in the market.
Unknowingly, he started laughing.
"Hahaha……"
…
The auction is still going on.
After three rare spiritual objects were photographed, the grand finale of the show once in ten years, the Golden Pill, appeared as scheduled, and as always attracted fierce competition from all major powers.
Thinking of my past, I was also a member of the competition.
Lu Zhong couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The final transaction price was 410,000, which was still within the average transaction price range of Jiejin Dan.
After the grand finale was auctioned, the auction entered the leak-picking phase. Lu Zhong was not interested in participating in this phase, so he left the box.
When I walked to the door, as expected, there was a real person from Changchun Valley waiting for me.
She is a Taoist nun with a kind smile, wearing a loose crimson robe, with only a wooden hairpin to hold up her gray hair. She is probably in her early 400s, and looks similar to a young woman in her early twenties.
But it gives people a lingering sense of twilight.
In terms of cultivation, it is the early stage of pill formation.
Seeing Lu Zhong come out, the Taoist nun made a bow.
"Changchun Valley Yuhong, I have met fellow Daoist Lu!"
"I've met fellow Taoist Jade." Lu Zhong returned the greeting.
Information about this person has already emerged in my mind.
Yuhong's identity is not simple. Although she is only in the early stage of pill formation, she is the eldest disciple of True Lord Wanmu. She also leads the Changchun Valley Sect Master, and her status is only lower than True Lord Wanmu and the Master of Nine Peaks.
People like this come to visit in person.
"The reason for coming is not simple!"
He thought silently in his heart.
At this time, Yuhong glanced around, smiled and suggested: "There are many people here, and I heard that Chunhui Pavilion just imported a batch of Chinese tea, why don't we go there to talk about it?"
"No problem." Lu Zhong agreed.
…
"Gu Dongdong..."
The tea is poured into the jasper cup, and a leisurely and distant aroma is stirred up. This is the signature tea aroma unique to Cangshan Yunye.
After taking a sip, Lu Zhong immediately praised it in his heart.
It really deserves to be the cloud leaves of Cangshan Mountain!
The spiritual energy contained in the spiritual tea can no longer be described as rich. It should be called spiritual liquid. The small sip he just drank can save him half a year of hard work.
Drinking the whole cup will save you three years of practice.
"It's a pity that the cloud leaves in Cangshan Mountain are so precious that outsiders can't get them at all." Lu Zhong guessed that Yuhong probably brought this tea from Changchun Valley, and Chunhui Pavilion probably couldn't get this kind of spiritual tea.
After a while of chatting, Yuhong got down to business.
"To be honest, fellow Taoist, Changchun Valley is in trouble now. Please forgive me for not being able to elaborate on the specific reasons. Now we are in need of monks who are skilled in thunder magic to deal with the large number of souls that are breeding."
As she spoke, she took something out of her sleeve.
Lu Zhong glanced at the corner of his eyes and saw that it was another thunder-sealing jade box. A closer look revealed that the silver marrow inside was much larger than the one at the auction.
I was excited in my heart, but calm on the outside.
He glanced at the jade box, then withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice: "What are the conditions?"
"For a period of thirty years, fellow Taoists will be able to obtain this object by killing evil spirits every six months." Yuhong seemed to know that Lu Zhonghui would ask this question, and revealed the conditions that she had already prepared.
After hearing this, Lu Zhong's expression did not change at all. It took him a long time to shake his head and said: "Thirty years is too long, and the mourning soul is not easy to deal with. Fellow Taoist Jade, you'd better think of the terms first."
One portion of condensed silver marrow is enough to condense thunder patterns.
If it is more, it will only enhance the power of the thunder gun. I don't know how much it can be enhanced.
He doesn't have to "sell himself" for thirty years for this.
Yuhong was not surprised by this.
Haggled for a while.
During the process, Lu Zhong did not forget to confirm the number of evil spirits, that is, the number of mourning souls. After receiving assurance, he continued the negotiation.
In the end, the deal was concluded with the offer of killing evil for ten years and paying the reward in advance.
When signing the spiritual contract, he made a request to modify the penalty for breach of contract. He would rather pay the price of great damage to his cultivation base than change the original penalty for breach of contract.
The reason is to avoid being tied to death.
You must know that the evil spirits suppressed in Changchun Valley are the strength of the late Nascent Soul.
Lu Zhong agreed to this evil-killing mission not only to obtain the silver marrow, but also to monitor the recovery process of the evil spirit. Once the evil spirit is about to awaken, the Southern Territory will be in danger!
By then, he would rather return to the early stage of pill formation than run away from the Southern Territory.
