Although he only knew the approximate address, it was not difficult for Lu Zhong.
There are many ways to find the Su family in the huge Lingyue Fairy City.
He suddenly noticed a line of sight coming towards him, but it was the girl named Cao Cao. She was looking at this side eagerly, her messy little hands were intertwined, and she suddenly knelt down and said:
"Immortal master, you want to cultivate immortality..."
Lu Zhong didn't feel surprised at all when he said this to her.
Asking for immortality from an immortal master has always been the most common scene that happens when mortals come into contact with monks. After all, after seeing the various abilities of monks, it is difficult for people not to yearn for them.
But what often accompanies it is only a cold word.
"You have no spiritual roots!"
Lu Zhong thought of this and took a closer look at the girl. He couldn't help showing a strange expression on his face, and thought to himself: "Am I really the protagonist, and I can actually meet a genius with two spiritual roots..."
That's right, the girl in front of you is Tumu Erlinggen.
With such a talent, no matter where he is placed, he is considered a genius.
It stands to reason that the Lingyue Sect, which has a mature talent collection mechanism, cannot miss the immortal seedlings with Cao Cao's qualifications. Basically, they screen newborns every year in order to collect all the geniuses born among mortals, so as to play a role.
The purpose of replenishing fresh blood.
According to statistics from classics, the probability of a mortal giving birth to a person with spiritual roots is low. Heaven seems to make up for this. Most of the peerless geniuses in the world of immortality are born from mortals.
Therefore, any sect with organizational capabilities will invest human resources in collecting mortal immortal seedlings.
Bihai Sect is no exception.
"Perhaps it was the turmoil in the Lingyue Domain that caused the system to collapse." Lu Zhongmo thought, thinking that this would be an advantage to him. He was worried that the Bihai Sect did not have the talent to decorate its appearance.
The immortal caressed my head, and my hair was knotted, so I could live forever.
Lu Zhong touched Cao Cao's head and found that her hands were full of stains. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, and immediately used several cleaning techniques to remove the dust and dirt on her body.
Taking her with him, Lu Zhong turned into a rainbow light that shot into the sky and flew towards Lingyue Fairy City in the distance.
Not seen for many years, this city has undergone many changes.
Compared with the prosperity of the past, Lingyue Fairy City is now more like a dying old man. There is no business at all. The shops in the outer ring area are either bankrupt or closed. The remaining merchants who cannot run away have to stay.
The ancestral property is here to be held on to with great pains.
The only ones doing prosperous business are probably the elixir and talisman shops.
Not only is the market depressed, but law and order is also in chaos.
The Lingyue Sect shrinks its strength to help Jin Lan make his last stand. Without Lingyue Sect disciples to patrol, the security in the city is deteriorating rapidly.
On Guangluzhong Road, there were three robberies and thefts.
When True Lord Jun Ling was here, the order in the city would not be so chaotic.
Soon we arrived at the Central District.
The public security here is better than that in the outer ring, but it is only limitedly good. It can only maintain superficial stability, but secretly there is still constant fighting and chaos.
The three storage bags that Lu Zhong just received are the best example.
In the huge Central District, it may seem difficult to find the Su family whose address is unknown, but as mice follow their own path, the local gangs are very clear, and all that is needed is a few spiritual stones.
"Senior, this is the information you want!" A foundation-building monk presented a piece of gold paper with writing on it with both hands, with a face full of flattery.
He used to kill people without blinking an eye, but now he was a little bit two-pronged.
There is no way, the person in front of me is the senior Danjie!
As long as the other party is willing, he will immediately turn into a corpse.
"Luan Yunfang?" Lu Zhong saw the message and knew the current location of the Su family.
Just as I was thinking about it, grandma came in leading me outside.
After some dressing up, Cao Cao's hair was no longer messy and was carefully combed into braids by the woman. However, she was sallow and thin, and even though she was wearing exquisite clothes, she actually didn't look any better.
"Very well, this is for you."
Lu Zhong left a storage bag and took it out of the house.
He stopped a beast cart and headed towards Luan Yunfang.
According to the information guidance, the Su family was easily found.
After hearing Lu Zhong's intention, the old Su Richang silently took the urn of ashes. On his face full of dark and light spots, he couldn't help but shed two lines of clear tears.
He didn't expect that after parting ways, father and daughter would finally meet like this.
After leaving Su's house, Lu Zhong suddenly stopped.
It’s Su Xuer’s master, Liu Piao Niang.
I haven't seen her in more than a hundred years. Although she still maintains her old youthful appearance, she has a strong air of twilight about her and she may die soon.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, how about we talk over there?" Liu Piao Niang pointed to the teahouse not far away.
Lu Zhong did not refuse.
A pot of tea can taste all the flavors of life.
After Lu Zhong revealed that the person who stole Su Xuer's body was Li Qionghua, the troublemaker who had crossed the realm, Liu Piao Niang, who had been suppressing her emotions, finally collapsed.
…
Time flies and another year passes.
In the Lingyue Sect, Jin Lan had not yet caused the thunder catastrophe, so Lu Zhong was not in a hurry to join Shui Ni. After returning to the Bihai Sect with Cao Cao, he accepted her as a disciple.
With the second spiritual root qualification, you are eligible to be directly accepted as a real disciple.
Lu Zhong named her "Su Caocao".
After teaching him for a while in his spare time, he found that this little guy was not really stubborn. He might have been affected by the environment before, but he was actually smart.
"If she grows up, she can hand over the sect master to her." Lu Zhong thought.
There is another benefit to accepting a disciple, which is to stabilize the hearts of the Bihai Sect.
The core of the sect's inheritance is actually the master-apprentice system.
Long ago, the heads of general affairs, Lu Baokui and Hua Furong, had already accepted multiple apprentices, but the ancestor Lu Zhong, who should set an example the most, has yet to make any move.
Now that he has accepted Su Caocao, the people who have been secretly turbulent have finally calmed down.
As for Yin Li, his cultivation has improved a lot recently.
Currently, he has reached the fourth level of Qi refining, which is reflected in the explosion of strength. He can hold on for a few more breaths, and he is already quite proficient in fighting techniques, not much worse than the disciples of the sect.
It can be seen that Yin Li does not want to die early.
It's a pity that as the incarnation of Lu Zhong's fighting skills, he was destined to be accompanied by danger from the beginning of his birth.
In the quiet room.
Lu Zhong is offering sacrifices to the human-faced dragon flag.
Recently, he discovered that after absorbing the remains of the lava earth dragon, this flag could actually increase its power. Although the effect was not very obvious, it could not withstand the huge size of the earth dragon's remains.
It took a year to upgrade it to a six-level forbidden magic weapon.
According to this trend, after all the remains of the lava earth dragon are refined, the Human-Faced Dragon Flag will be upgraded to a seventh-level forbidden magic weapon. At that time, it will only be one level of forbidden magic weapon away from his natal magic weapon, Star Mirror.
Lu Zhong is naturally happy to see this happen.
The stronger the magic weapon, the greater his chance of winning.
The current Lingyue Territory has already become the center of the storm.
News came from Shui Ni that Jinlan Broken Pill will be released at the end of the year. The time now is early May, not much different from then.
He decided to rush to Zhenling Sect to join Shui Ni after he finished the sacrifice and refined the human-faced dragon flag.
Capturing Lingyue Peak requires good timing and accurate calculations, which can even get twice the result with half the effort, saving a lot of trouble and gaining more gains at the same time.
Immediately, he stopped thinking about it and quietly practiced the magic weapon.
…
late at night.
"Husband, you promised before that you would take me with you!" Yu Feng'er became angry rarely and grabbed Lu Zhong's arm tightly.
He has the attitude of not letting go unless he agrees.
"Alas, the war is fierce and the war is dangerous. I am doing it for your own good!" Lu Zhong looked helpless, but he could only persuade him nicely: "Besides, the Bihai Sect has a big business and needs someone to guard it. Especially the insect nest.
Recently, the Law Enforcement Palace has arrested a lot of spies. If Madam is not here, the consequences will be..."
"Madam..." Yu Feng'er only focused on this word.
Seeing this scene, Lu Zhong raised the corner of his mouth slightly and couldn't help but feel proud. He knew that his wife Mo Ruofu and Yu Feng'er's weaknesses were all clear to him.
In order to prevent her from getting involved in the war, he had no choice but to resort to this method.
If the plan to seize Lingyue Peak fails, Lu Zhong and Shui Ni will be able to protect themselves, but Yu Feng'er, who has only the early stage of pill formation, cannot do it. To put it bluntly, it is just a drag.
By then, there's no way he could just leave it alone.
"Okay, I understand..." Yu Feng'er leaned into Lu Zhong's arms and sighed softly.
In fact, she also knew that her past was of little use, but she couldn't control the random thoughts in her heart, so she felt that instead of worrying all the time, it would be better to just go with him.
Sensing Yu Feng'er's low mood, Lu Zhong couldn't help feeling a little distressed. He hugged her tightly, touched his head and comforted her: "Don't worry, the success rate of this plan is extremely high, and I have already prepared several escape routes.
Even if there is an accident on the way, I will definitely come back safely. You know that I am always cautious. How could I get involved if my life was in danger?"
"Hehe, yes!" Yu Feng'er smiled.
…
As expected.
As soon as the first snow fell in Lingyue Domain, Jin Lan began to break pills to attack Jieying.
Conceiving a baby requires going through the "Six-Nine Great Heavenly Tribulations", which have always been a life-and-death difficulty. When the celestial phenomenon occurs, there is a sea of thunder for thousands of miles, causing strong winds to howl between heaven and earth, and countless walled houses to collapse.
In the center of Leihai, the celestial phenomena are even more amazing.
The storms and thunder continued, as if the end of the world was coming.
At this moment, Lu Zhong, Shui Ni and Yuntao, the three of them gathered at Xiaoyue Peak.
Xiaoyue Peak is not far from the Lingyue Sect's mountain gate, and can clearly witness the process of overcoming the tribulation in the distance. Although Jin Lan, the protagonist of this tribulation, cannot be seen clearly, it is enough to see the changes in the thunderclouds there.
"I haven't even survived three rounds of lightning tribulations..." Shui Ni sighed softly.
Jin Lan's qualifications far surpass the three of them.
According to the information, this person is a mutated wind spirit root. He is wiser and more mature than others. That is why he was accepted as the direct disciple of True Lord Jun Ling.
But I didn't expect that such an outstanding person would not be able to withstand the third round of thunder tribulation.
"I think there may be some forces that assassinated him." Yuntao gave his own opinion, but he regretted it as soon as he said it.
With the whole sect's hope placed on it, the protection is definitely tighter than expected.
Under such circumstances, how could he be assassinated?
Lu Zhong withdrew his gaze from the distance. The calamity clouds there were quickly dissipating, and the sky was clearing up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Now was the best opportunity for them to take action. Whether they could capture Lingyue Peak depended on today.
So he looked at Shui Ni, who nodded.
"Let's go, it's time."
…
The plan to seize Lingyue Peak is very simple, it lies in the "Liangyi Dust Formation" on this peak.
This formation can be called the last guardian of the Lingyue Sect. It was set up to prevent the True Lord from being disturbed in seclusion. It is a solid fifth-level formation. According to legend, it was acquired by the Lingyue Patriarch in the past.
Once such a large formation is activated, it will take a year and a half before the True Lord Nascent Soul arrives.
What Lu Zhong and others had to do was very simple, that is, when the outside world thought that the Lingyue Sect was still holding on inside, they would loot everything inside, and then use the secret passage to escape.
I don’t know how Li Qionghua learned about these secret passages, but they have indeed become the key to realizing the plan.
Lu Zhong walked to a cliff at Xiaoyue Peak.
Whether it was with the naked eye or with spiritual consciousness, the cliff looked normal. But when Lu Zhong cast a special spell, the cliff suddenly became blurred, revealing a deep passage.
Walking to the end of the depths, there is a huge underground space.
In the center, there is a teleportation array.
Different from ordinary teleportation arrays, this array is surrounded by dense circles of array patterns, all of which are designed to encrypt this array. After all, this array is the only two-way teleportation array among the many secret passages of Lingyue Sect.
With this formation, the three of them can reach the top of Lingyue Peak.
"Are you ready?" Shui Ni looked at Yuntao, Lu Zhong didn't need her to worry about it yet.
On Yuntao's side, she had just released a peach branch-shaped magic weapon, and then took out a blood-red peach and swallowed it. Her momentum suddenly rose slowly, and then she nodded towards Shui Ni, indicating that she was ready.
Lu Zhong, who was also prepared, saw this and fired a spell towards the teleportation array.
"Swish, swish, swish!" The surrounding formations lit up with light.
The next moment, the three people disappeared.
"Qiang!"
The sound of gold and iron clashing.
Lu Zhong easily blocked the flying magical sword and saw clearly where he was. It was a secret palace deep in the mountain, with many teleportation formations scattered around it.
That's right, this is where they are going - the Lingyue Secret Palace!
Opposite the three of them, the three peak masters of the Lingyue Sect looked shocked.
Judging from their shocked expressions, they obviously couldn't understand why there was someone calling from the other side of the secret passage.
You must know that the secret passage is the secret among the secrets of Lingyue Sect. Normally, only Zhenjun knows it. Even the three of them are qualified to understand the secrets in the secret hall after Zhenjun Junling has passed away.
But now it is...
There was no time to think clearly about the reason, Yu Rong, the master of Yuxiu Peak, rushed forward. Almost at the same time, the masters of Zhongxiu Peak and Shenxiu Peak behind him both followed suit with determination on their faces.
One side wants to avenge the division of the sect, and the other side wants to inherit and continue.
The war is about to break out!
The one who fought against Lu Zhong was Chen Hao, the master of Shenxiu Peak.
He is the son of the previous peak master. After Chen Yu died in Li Qionghua's sneak attack, he inherited the position of peak master.
The magic weapon used by Chen Hao is the "Golden and Jade Mother Needle". In conjunction with the Golden Jade Sutra he cultivated, it is easy to penetrate rocks in Dongshan, which can bring out the elite's ability to form pills.
Both of them were in the middle stage of pill formation, so Chen Hao didn't think he would lose.
But after several rounds of fighting, he realized that he was completely wrong.
In the past, against the invincible Zimu Needle magic weapon of the same level, it had almost no effect in front of the little dragon transformed by the three small flags. Even if he tried his best, he was still blocked without missing a beat.
next moment.
"Not good!" Chen Hao's expression changed drastically and he backed away crazily.
