In the days that followed, Lu Zhong continued to live a leisurely life.
In addition to taking elixirs for practice every day, I also study the secret techniques and refine the soul elixir. In my free time, I always like to listen to the wind and admire the moon at the waterside pavilion. I live a very uncomfortable life.
time flies.
A few months passed in the blink of an eye.
This winter in Nanman is not peaceful.
Although the dry tide was blocked by the Great Wall of Spiritual Energy, the evil influence still spread, and widespread chaos occurred in the Seven Realms, especially in the secular world where the monks were weak. Deaths in entire villages and counties began to occur.
, seriously endangering the foundation of the existence of the world of immortality.
Even the Bihai side is no exception, there are also evil spirits causing chaos.
Lu Zhong sent an avatar to take charge of this matter.
Even though they were all powerful and evil, in the face of the Ziyou Extreme Fire that he had cultivated for a long time, without exception they all ended up turning into ashes, unable to even make waves.
The days passed by like this.
At the end of the year, Master Long Qing of Jinjian Mountain came to visit.
The two parties saw the courtesy and exchanged polite words as usual before getting down to business.
"I came here to visit rashly this time. I hope Brother Lu will forgive me if I have caused any inconvenience!" Long Qing said with a smile, without the airs and airs he had when the two met for the first time.
He even took the initiative to call Lu Zhong his brother in order to close the relationship between the two.
This time, that time.
Lu Zhong felt a burst of emotion in his heart.
I think back then, when he first formed the elixir...
Alas, just don’t say it.
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously! You and I are both pill-forming monks, but we are just a little higher. We should treat each other as peers." Lu Zhong pulled his thoughts back, waved his hand and replied with a chuckle.
Afterwards, the maid served Lingcha, fruit and cakes.
The two chatted for a while, ranging from the current situation in the Southern Barbarians to the recent changes in the Changchun Territory.
Lu Zhong could guess what Long Qing's purpose was, but since the other party didn't take the initiative to bring it up, he naturally wouldn't mention it. In this time of great change, having control over supplies means having the right to speak.
As for the inheritance of classics?
Important is important, but unfortunately they cannot be used to improve cultivation.
As a patriarch from a family that cultivates immortals, his qi-nurturing skills are naturally extraordinary. No matter what happens, he can remain calm. However, Long Qing met Lu Zhong.
After refilling the tea for three rounds, he finally couldn't sit still.
Due to the rampant evil spirits, the production of spiritual resources of the Long family in Zhenjian Mountain has been greatly reduced. In order to maintain the continuous cultivation resources of the monks of the Long family, Long Qing has visited many places before. Although he relied on the name of the Long family in Zhenjian Mountain
, did not encounter any rejection, but gained very little.
So, I had to bite the bullet and come to Bihai.
Looking at the entire Southern Barbarians, only the Bihai Sect can sell a large amount of spiritual resources at this moment.
At other times, Long Qing might have other ideas and win over a group of in-law families, or even Changchun Valley, to put pressure on the isolated Bihai Sect overseas.
But things are different now. Lu Zhong is the only disciple of True Lord Huiyue.
And when the two met today, Long Qing was secretly surprised at first, because he saw that Lu Zhong's aura was calm and his mana fluctuations were still higher than his own. He had obviously broken through to the late stage of pill formation.
A monk with such a level of cultivation cannot be easily offended no matter what.
Thinking of this, Long Qing had no choice but to honestly state his future intentions.
"To be honest, the purpose of coming to visit fellow Taoist this time is to purchase a batch of Shengling Honey. I wonder if your sect can allocate part of the share?"
Lu Zhong was not surprised at all by this. He had already expected that he was here for this matter. He smiled and said: "Of course there is Shenglingmi. Unfortunately, there was a letter from Master Lu just a while ago, and fellow Taoists also know that Master
It is inevitable that fate will be violated, and now Bihai Sect’s inventory of spiritual honey is almost gone..."
Seeing Long Qing's eyes flashing, he seemed not to notice, and continued: "But since it is Fellow Taoist Long who is here, I naturally have to give him some face. What if I don't do this? Fellow Daoist exchanged the inheritance of the teleportation formation for 300,000 spirit stones.
, here we will give you spiritual honey of the same value."
"This..." Long Qing hesitated.
The inheritance of the teleportation array, before the changes in the world, let alone 300,000 spirit stones, even if the price quadrupled, it would never be available for exchange.
After all, this is the real heritage!
When he asked for Mingyan Zitie before, he had no intention of making things difficult for Lu Zhong.
But now, retribution has come.
Lu Zhong didn't say anything, just waited quietly.
Now that he has the initiative, he is not afraid that Long Qing will not accept the conditions he proposed.
Furthermore, even if Long Qing doesn't change, it doesn't mean that Lu Zhong can't get the teleportation array inheritance.
In fact, he already had another way to get started.
That is in exchange for it from the Western Territory Alliance.
The Western Alliance almost gathers the essence of the inheritance of the Western sects, and naturally it also contains the inheritance about the teleportation array. Compared with obtaining it from the Long family, it is just a lot more troublesome to exchange it from the Western Alliance.
In the end, Long Qing chose to accept the conditions.
As the patriarch of the family, he naturally knows how to choose between a dead creature and the future of the family.
The two parties then signed a spiritual contract and quickly reached a deal.
…
In the days that followed, waves of people came to visit.
But regardless of his identity, Lu Zhong used Shui Ni as an excuse to reject them all. I have to say that this excuse was really easy to use. As soon as the name of True Lord Yuanying came out, no one dared to find fault.
This incident made him yearn for Jie Ying even more.
In late spring, an unexpected guest came to visit.
Shui Ni was dressed in a plain gauze dress and was standing in the waterside pavilion. Under the moonlight, she looked even more otherworldly. She really looked like a fairy descending to earth.
She noticed the movement behind her, turned around and looked at Lu Zhong who walked in, and said with a half-smile but not a smile: "What, you are not welcome to come here as a teacher?"
Lu Zhong was embarrassed, wondering how she could come here? But his expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Where is the Master? The great presence of Master has made Chaosheng Cave glow, so naturally he is welcome."
"Pengpi shines?" Shui Ni guessed the meaning of this word and couldn't help but smile. Then she looked around a few times and asked casually: "Good disciple, where is my good wife?"
"Feng'er is still in retreat, and it will take about half a year to end." Lu Zhong personally poured tea for Shui Ni, which was a sign of respect for his teacher.
"Retreat?" Shui Ni held up the spiritual tea and took a sip at will.
"Oh, wouldn't that be just right!"
"..." Lu Zhong.
My master is still as bold as ever.
But unfortunately, he still couldn't refuse.
After all, color embryo is the essence.
…
afterwards.
It was getting dark.
After Lu Zhong digests the harvest, he can save several years of hard work.
As soon as she got up and wanted to get dressed, she was hugged by Shui Ni from behind. She leaned over and said softly: "Don't move, let me help you get dressed this time."
Observed from a close distance, she is still as charming as ever, with long, jet-black hair hanging down to the ground, and she always reveals an amazing charm when she moves around.
Maybe it's because she gave birth to a baby, but her temperament is really like the shining moon in the sky.
The truly otherworldly, unlike anything in the world.
"Will it be like this after I give birth to a baby?" Lu Zhong thought in his heart.
I didn't put on my clothes until noon.
In the waterside pavilion, the two of them chatted seriously.
It was inevitable to talk about the evil spirits raging in the Southern Barbarians. Shui Ni frowned at this time and couldn't help but sigh: "If I could have expected that the Southern Barbarians would suffer this disaster, I would never have built a temple in the Lingyue Territory."
Zong. Disciple, you don’t know what level of chaos there is now..."
It is not an exaggeration to say that the bones are thousands of miles away.
Every day, thousands of mortals die directly or indirectly at the hands of evil spirits. This is the result of Zhenling Sect's efforts to kill evil spirits and protect the country and the people.
To this day, the situation still shows no signs of improvement.
Lu Zhong listened to her pour out her bitterness.
As the leader of a sect, he naturally also knows that as an ancestor, he cannot show his cowardly side in front of outsiders under any circumstances.
Only by coming to Bihai can Shui Ni express her sorrow.
It wasn't until sunset that Shui Ni fell asleep.
Lu Zhong helped her to the guest room.
One night passed.
The next day, Shui Ni became radiant and moisturized. It was obviously because the pressure in her heart was relieved a lot. When she saw Lu Zhong again, she said apologetically:
"Master, I've caused you trouble."
Lu Zhong shook his head, this was a disciple's duty.
Is there any trouble or no trouble?
Breakfast consisted of a variety of carefully prepared spiritual foods, and Lu Zhong still liked wontons as always.
The skin is thin and the filling is large. It is cooked with a soup made from ancient elixirs. The filling is taken from the best piece of meat from the sea beast. Although he has been eating it for decades, he never gets tired of it.
One bowl after another.
Shui Ni was also curious when she saw it. After tasting a bowl, she found that although the wontons tasted good, there were still many gaps compared with other dishes on the table. She couldn't help but ask:
"Is there anything special about this wonton?"
"No, I just like it." Lu Zhong told the truth.
After the meal, they lingered for a while, and Lu Zhong was able to save several more years of hard work, while Shui Ni was preparing to return to the Zhenling Sect, where the Nascent Soul Lord was indispensable.
Sometimes the elixir-level evil spirits are too weird.
If a Dan-forming monk goes to deal with it, there will be a very high risk of death.
At this time, the True Lord is needed to take action.
"Good disciple, if you are free in the future, you must come to Zhenling Sect more often." Shui Ni held Lu Zhong's hand and said with a hint of complaint in his tone.
Lu Zhong couldn't resist her look and had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Then he gave Shui Ni a storage bag, which contained six double-tailed spiral crystals that he had picked up from the Western Region earlier, hoping that they would be able to help her.
Both the master and the disciple are prosperous.
In the future, Lu Zhong will still have to rely on Shui Ni's name, so naturally he cannot sit back and watch the Zhenling Sect decline due to the rampant evil spirits. The deterrent power of the Nascent Soul Lord with the support of the sect and without the sect is completely different.
When Shui Ni saw the contents of the storage bag, she couldn't help but have a mist in her eyes.
She didn't speak, just hugged Lu Zhong.
…
After Shui Ni left, Lu Zhong quickly digested the benefits of dual cultivation. The Yin Yuan effect of the Nascent Soul Female Cultivator was extraordinary, and his cultivation level increased a lot compared to before.
Although there is still a long way to go before cultivating to the fake infant state, there is still a little progress.
I practice peacefully in Chaosheng Cave every day, and my life is peaceful and comfortable.
During this period, in addition to taking pills and refining energy every day, he devoted the rest of his time to researching the teleportation array, hoping to master it as soon as possible.
It's just that Lu Zhong underestimated the difficulty of the teleportation array.
If you want to master the teleportation array, you must first understand what space is. After all, in the subsequent formation process, you will also need to use magic formulas to deduce space coordinates and other work.
However, with the level of the Dan Jie monk, it is extremely difficult to achieve this step.
This is usually something only Nascent Soul True Monarch can do.
If the inheritance is obtained through abnormal means, it will definitely be stuck at this stage. Without some chance, the possibility of mastering the teleportation array is extremely slim.
Since Lu Zhong’s teleportation array inheritance was acquired from the Long Family of Array Sword Mountain, it naturally comes with corresponding solutions.
Compared with the teleportation array part on the surface, these experiences are the most valuable information in the inheritance.
"Kongshan Nine Magic Methods"
The Dragon Family of Formation Sword Mountain took a different approach and thought of using phantom formations to simulate the process of high-level monks perceiving space. The efficiency could not be compared with that of True Monarch Nascent Soul, but at least it provided a way to master the formation.
Thereby achieving a breakthrough from scratch.
Without further ado, Lu Zhong dug another layer under Chaosheng Cave.
It took more than half a year to finally arrange the Kongshan Nine Fantasy Formation.
Next, is the process of simulating perception.
According to the records, the Long family monks completely depend on luck in this process. If they are lucky, they can establish the correct spatial perception in one time. If they are not lucky, they may not be able to succeed for decades.
"Fortunately, I have gray fog space!" Lu Zhong secretly rejoiced.
He plans to use scene review to review his memory every time he enters the battle. The advantage of this is that it can prevent him from missing the correct spatial perception, and turns the original pure chance into an exhaustive method, which in disguise can improve the success of perception.
probability.
Came here three times in a row.
To end in failure.
Lu Zhong had long been mentally prepared for this and was ready for a protracted war.
…
Time flies by like a fleeting moment.
Autumn goes and autumn comes again.
One year has passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past period of time, the situation in the Southern Barbarians has been slightly stable, and fewer people have died every day. The reason is that each sect has summarized evil killing methods, and on this basis, they have to be careful. The probability of large-scale death events has increased.
Various measures have been taken to reduce this.
In the quiet room.
Lu Zhong is taking advantage of the situation.
He looked happy at this moment.
Just now, the twenty-first acupoint was successfully opened, and the energy, blood, and body have been greatly improved.
To be honest, Lu Zhong originally thought that as the progress of his skills improved, he would encounter bottlenecks in the practice process, but in the end he encountered nothing.
It was smooth sailing all the way without any obstacles.
"This is the cultivation process of genius!" He thought in his heart.
If only his cultivation could grow so fast.
that would be nice!
However, there is nothing wrong with taking it step by step, at least the foundation can be laid solid enough. When it comes to actual fighting, a genius in cultivation and a genius in fighting are actually completely different things.
Speaking of genius, Lu Zhong thought of his two apprentices.
The training process of Su Caocao and He Luo was obviously just to deal with monster attacks, but the process was as ups and downs as in the storybook. During this period, there were many big and small things, and they encountered life and death crises several times. Fortunately, the two of them had different temperaments.
Usually, they just hit me.
Thanks to this, Su Caocao has sensed the opportunity to build a foundation.
And He Luo gained a lot. He took advantage of this experience to polish his mind and will benefit a lot from it in the future.
"The supplies are almost ready, it's time to head to the Western Region." Lu Zhongmo thought.
In the Western Alliance, although there are no spiritual objects that can be exchanged for increasing cultivation, there are a lot of rare spiritual minerals such as star stones that are very beneficial to the cultivation of magic weapons.
After Xingchenjian broke through to the eighth-level forbidden magic weapon, it has not been improved for a long time.
If you don't refine more spiritual things.
Simply relying on the elixir fire to nourish this natal magic weapon, it is estimated that until the end of his life, he will not be able to break through the fourteenth level of the Xingchenjian.
