Chapter two hundred and eighty fifth virtual visit
Before you know it, it’s a new year again.
During this period of time, Lu Zhong has been spending time in seclusion and practicing. The speed of improvement in cultivation is still as slow as ever. On the contrary, the Barbarian Ancestor Swallowing Heaven Technique has once again broken through the first level and has successfully broken through the 23rd acupoint. He is full of energy and blood.
Energetic as the sea, my body has been slightly strengthened thanks to this.
In addition to the Barbarian Ancestor Swallowing Heaven Technique, Xingchen Jian has broken through to the tenth level of forbidden power after a long period of cultivation. Its power is still the same as before. It is more powerful than the previous ones. It is easy to deal with monks of the same level, but if it is compared with
In a fight with the Nascent Soul Lord, he was easily destroyed.
Considering that Chi Yang's swordsmanship and magic swordsmanship can no longer keep up with his own pace.
So Lu Zhong chose a suitable quick-fire spell from the Feixing inheritance. It was in the same line as the magic sword technique, but it was stronger than the magic sword technique. It was a high-level third-level secret technique.
"Spiritual Sword Technique"
As the name suggests, it can condense mana into a spiritual sword.
The biggest difference from magic swordsmanship is that the spirit sword can be controlled like a magic weapon.
When the mind is strong, the sword will be strong.
Since the entire body is condensed by magic power, its power is much stronger than that of magic swords. It can avoid the embarrassing situation of hitting the opponent with dozens or hundreds of swords, but not even being able to break through the gang energy.
Lu Zhong secretly uses magic power through secrets.
In just one breath, a spiritual sword condensed in his palm.
The size of the spiritual sword is similar to that of an ordinary flying sword, and it shines with the deep star-blue color unique to Lu Zhong's magic power. Due to his lack of proficiency, it does not look like a solid sword, but like a broken sword with a sharp edge condensed in half.
Looking directly, there was a faint tingling sensation.
Following Lu Zhong's thoughts, the spirit sword began to spin in the air, slashing and stabbing, and making various flying sword movements without showing any lag. At first glance, it looked like a magical flying sword.
Point your sword far away and test the sword stone.
With a "puff" sound, the spirit sword hit the top, leaving a crater.
"Only seven feet and six minutes... the power is not comparable to the single mirror light of the Star Mirror. However, as a quick-fire spell, the Spirit Sword Technique can have such power. If it can be used in the right place, it will not be the same."
It can also achieve the desired effect." Lu Zhong thought in his heart.
…
Time passes day by day.
Changchun Valley did not impose further pressure, and the restrictions were actually relaxed a lot.
Lu Zhong knew the reason behind it. According to the information provided by Shui Ni, it was that Zhenjun Wanmu was plotted against by the Taoist sect not long ago. It was said that he was slightly injured and had to rest for a while.
This is definitely good news.
Taking this opportunity, he sold a large amount of the supplies he had accumulated.
The largest number of them are of course the various spiritual objects obtained from trade with the Western Alliance. Whether they are rare ores or rare materials that can only be produced underground, they are all treasures that are hard to find outside. Once they are available, they will be
It triggered a crowd of people to loot.
Thanks to this, the popularity of Zhenling Fairy City has increased.
Lu Zhong also did not forget his mission and transformed himself into purchasing elixirs to fill the growing gap.
The largest distribution center for high-end elixirs in the Southern Barbarians is in Changchun Fairy City. Without being able to participate in the auction openly, if you want to obtain suitable elixirs, you can basically only participate in various underground auctions. You will inevitably get ripped off, but at the same time, the quality of the elixirs will also be compromised.
Not guaranteed.
Fortunately, I can still make do with it.
As time passed, the situation in Nanman became elusive.
Just in March, someone suddenly came to visit me.
Lu Zhong was very surprised by the arrival. The leader was actually Xu Mingzhen of Hua Yiguan. Thinking that the two sides had fought against each other once before, they could be regarded as enemies, and the atmosphere of the meeting couldn't help but become tense.
Moving to the Bihai Palace, the guests and hosts took their seats.
After a while, the maids served the spiritual teas respectively.
Lu Zhong took a sip and found that his favorite "Long Yin Xiang" had no flavor at the moment. He put down the tea cup calmly, looked at Master Xu Ming opposite who was sipping tea, and said in a low voice:
"Fellow Taoist Xu Ming has traveled thousands of miles to visit me, and he has taken the trouble to visit me. I guess he is not here to taste this spiritual tea? If you have any intention of coming, just tell me straight to the point!"
He didn't like the Taoist sect, and he was too lazy to deal with Xu Ming. He could also guess Xu Ming's intention in his heart.
"Since Taoist friend has made it clear, the poor Taoist will no longer be secretive. I wonder if Lu Taoist friend is willing to form an alliance with our Taoist sect to deal with Changchun Valley together! As far as I know... Changchun Valley has caused a lot of losses to your sect. Don't you have the idea of getting back Daoyou Lu?" Xu Ming said with a normal expression, as if he was just mentioning a trivial matter.
"...form an alliance." Lu Zhong secretly thought that he had indeed guessed it, his expression on his face did not change at all, his eyes flashed as if he was thinking about the matter seriously.
In my mind, I was analyzing the intention behind the alliance.
Hua Yiguan said that he came to form an alliance with him, but the real purpose should still be with the Zhenling Sect. It is estimated that that is the goal that the Taoist sect wants to truly form an alliance with. The reason why he chose to visit here is probably because he wants to learn from him as his disciple. It opens a breakthrough in the body, which in turn affects Shui Ni's judgment and realizes the purpose of forming an alliance among their three sects.
As if to increase the stakes, Xu Ming's eyes flashed and he added: "I believe that Taoist friend is a smart person and will not be unable to distinguish the importance of old grievances and the future. The cooperation between our two families will benefit both. Only by joining forces to fight against Changchun Valley can we prevent them from becoming bigger in the Southern Barbarians again! As long as you are willing to accept the alliance, Pindao will also give you heavy gifts, including a set of 'Hidden Dragon Powder'!"
"Yinlong Powder?" Lu Zhong couldn't help but chuckle inwardly after hearing this.
What a generous act!
This powder is one of the Taoist secret medicines. It can enhance the effect of the Ying Xian Yin. Even the most common Ying Ying Xian Yin can increase its effect by nearly 30%. Monks, the treasures they dream about.
But...
Lu Zhong was very clear-headed at the moment.
If the Zhenling Sect forms an alliance with the Taoist sect, it will be true that it can relieve the current dilemma he is facing, but it will also expand the original confrontation between the Taoist sect and Changchun Valley into a confrontation between the seven Southern Barbarian sects. Zong will also be dragged in.
In the end, it was the Nanman War.
It's hard to say who will win, but Bi Hai, who is alone overseas and unable to get rescue quickly, will definitely be selected as a target and killed at the beginning of the war.
Rather than end up like this, it is better to maintain the status quo.
After thinking about this, he made a decision in his mind.
"I think fellow Taoist may have made a mistake. The real control of the Bihai Sect is not in the hands of me, Lu. I am just the equivalent of the 'head of the general affairs'. Regarding the alliance, Gui Guan really The one we should look for is Master Huiyue Zhenjun." Lu Zhong made an excuse casually.
Master Xu Ming frowned when he heard this, but quickly returned to normal.
"I think fellow Taoists still don't understand the true strength of Changchun Valley today.
If we don't join forces to stop it, I'm afraid that the Southern Barbarians will become their world in the future. Not only will the Bihai Sect be reduced to a vassal status, but even fellow Taoist master Hui Yue Zhenjun will lose his power and worship in the Changchun Valley. Leading a titular Supreme Elder to empty his throne, do you really want to see this happen?
Besides, even if Fellow Daoist Lu really doesn't care about True Lord Huiyue, he should at least think about his own path. Fellow Daoist Lu must also be aware of the effect of Yinlong Powder, so I won't go into details here. I'll tell you the truth, so I can.
I decided to replace it with Yinlong Secret Powder. The efficacy of this powder is several points higher than that of Yinlong Powder. In this way, the chance of conceiving a baby... will be greatly increased!"
"Fellow Taoist, there's no need to say anything. I really can't help myself!" Although Lu Zhong didn't know Shui Ni's specific thoughts, but since she didn't agree, there was no need for him to cause trouble, otherwise it would disrupt Shui Ni's plan.
, maybe you are the one who really suffers.
Seeing that Lu Zhong refused to let go, Master Xu Ming was helpless and had no intention of staying here any longer, so he immediately stood up and left.
Lu Zhong had no intention of staying and watched the group leave.
…
"It was finally repaired, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult..."
Lu Zhong originally thought that it would take him half a year to repair a Hunyuan Cannon, but it actually took him nearly a year, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, with constant problems, big and small, until the last day of the year, he finally repaired it.
The first Hunyuan Cannon was repaired.
"I don't know how powerful it is?"
Looking at the Shanshan Boat parked in the dock, Lu Zhong decided to drive it out for a try. It happened that the main floating formation had been repaired, and he could also test the top speed.
Just try it.
The control circle opened the waterway gate, and the mountain-shaking boat slowly set sail and headed outside.
Sneak underwater and reach the open sea area before letting the mountain-shaking boat float to the surface.
It was late at night, the stars were shining brightly, and it happened to be a full moon night.
After getting familiar with the operation for a while, Lu Zhong asked the avatar to start the experiment.
I saw a flash of spiritual light, and the restrictions on the entire mountain-shaking boat lit up. Then the floating array reached its maximum power, and its speed began to increase rapidly. After a while, it turned into a rainbow light and lifted into the sky. The huge hull
As it flew across the sea, it stirred up huge waves dozens of feet high.
"Hahaha! Not bad, keep accelerating!" Lu Zhong laughed.
Soon, Shanshan Zhou broke through the speed of sound.
But this is not its limit.
Two times the speed of sound, three times the speed of sound... four times the speed of sound!
The entire ship turned into a fireball, flying rapidly through the air.
At this speed, it has exceeded the speed limit of the Danjie monks. When the mountain-shaking boat reaches five times the speed of sound, the acceleration slows down suddenly.
"Main body, this is the ultimate speed of this ship." The incarnation reminded.
"Five times the speed of sound?" Lu Zhong said, holding his chin.
Such speed is already comparable to that of the early Nascent Soul.
For such a giant spaceship, it is already a miracle that it can reach such an astonishing flying speed. It is unrealistic to make it go any faster, otherwise the price of the Nascent Soul Lord will be too low.
"Try the Hunyuan Cannon!"
Lu Zhong wanted to see the power of the Hunyuan Cannon.
Upon hearing this, the Avatar immediately controlled the angle of the ship to tilt in the direction of the target, and at the same time reduced the ship's speed to ensure the supply of spiritual energy to the Hunyuan Cannon, and then aimed it at a desert island ahead. When the Shanshan Boat flew past the corresponding position, Hunyuan Cannon
Five colored rays of light suddenly condensed at the Yuan Cannon muzzle, and then a white light group was spit out.
The ball of light drew an arc and hit the corner of the desert island.
Then came the second method, and the third... Under the continuous bombardment, the desert island quickly fell apart, and the surging seawater completely submerged it.
After a demonstration, Lu Zhong had a comprehensive understanding of Shanshan Zhou.
"The power is equivalent to a full blow in the middle stage of pill formation, and the rate of fire is astonishing, almost one shot per breath. When powered by spirit stones, if all the Hunyuan Cannons are intact, they can create a dense barrage.
Maybe we can block the True Monarch Nascent Soul."
However, although Shanshanzhou has many gun positions, it is not positioned to attack gunboats.
In fact, the main purpose of this boat is to transport troops. Its huge hull of more than 600 feet is enough to accommodate a complete army of 10,000 monks, ranging from various war supplies to various spiritual beasts.
, can be installed at one time, and there is still a little room for space.
When necessary, the five decks can be opened directly to allow all the monks on board to move out.
As for renovation?
Perhaps in the future, Lu Zhong will master the formation structure of Shanshanzhou and be able to make changes to the formation above.
But for now, it is not impossible that the consequences of casually changing the magic circle will most likely lead to problems, and in severe cases, damage to the mountain-shaking boat.
Finally tested the defense.
When the main protective array is not repaired, even Lu Zhong's attack cannot be blocked. But from the design point of view, it is indeed an indestructible turtle shell. I think that after completely repairing the array on the ship, it can block the attacks of the True Monarch Yuanying.
Short-term attacks are not a problem.
Lu Zhong got the result and stayed outside for a while.
Then he chose to return to his bedroom.
The days of practice were a bit tiring, so he had no other thoughts in his mind, so he hugged his soft body and fell asleep quickly.
…
Half a month later.
Lu Zhong was resting in the waterside pavilion.
As his cultivation progress increased, his cultivation speed continued to slow down. It was already 30% lower than when he first broke through to the late stage of pill formation, and this trend continued.
At this time, Yu Feng'er looked solemn and hurriedly came from outside.
"Husband, something big happened over there in Nanman!"
She said and handed a jade slip to Lu Zhong.
After taking it and reading it, Lu Zhong looked in the direction of Nanman, not knowing what expression to make at this moment.
Changchun Valley and Daomen fought again.
However, this time it was Daomen who took the initiative.
The Taoist sect united with the Tiandao Sect and gathered three Nascent Soul Lords. They successfully attacked again and injured Lord Wanmu who had just finished recovering from his injuries. Moreover, the injury this time was not light, and it was enough for Lord Wanmu to recover for three to five years.
of.
In a short period of time, my true king was assassinated one after another.
This shows that the interior of the Changchun Valley has been infiltrated into a sieve by the Taoist sect, and some people have secretly reached high positions. Otherwise, it cannot be explained why the whereabouts of True Monarch Nascent Soul were controlled by the Taoist sect.
During the war, Xuanyang Sect also expressed its attitude and joined the Changchun Valley side.
Suddenly, the situation of Zhenling Sect became delicate.
With a True Lord like Shui Ni in the Zhenling Sect, no matter which side he chooses to join, he will be able to greatly affect the balance of victory.
Lu Zhong held the tea cup in his hand and looked at the hazy rain curtain outside the pavilion.
How will Shui Ni choose?
There was another thing he didn't understand.
Why did Daomen suddenly attack Changchun Valley? Logically speaking, they should be defending.
