After the signing of the peace treaty, Lu Zhong was no longer hindered in obtaining resources, and the elixir reserves that were about to bottom out were also raised again.
In the following time, he meditated and practiced Qi every day, and lived a leisurely and peaceful life.
As time passed, his cultivation gradually increased.
One day three years later.
late at night.
In the quiet room, Lu Zhong closed his eyes tightly.
At this moment, his whole body was covered with a layer of hazy light and mist, the color of which was the same as the stars in the sky. They were still spinning, and there was a steady stream of starlight, which was pulled down from the sky and condensed into nebulae over time.
However, it is a critical time to practice the Star Eating Technique.
When the density of the nebula reached a certain limit, it was as if the actual star power changed and began to collapse into Lu Zhong's body. The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth was also attracted, forming a huge spiritual energy vortex.
The power is so majestic that it seems to directly communicate with heaven and earth!
It was night, and the vision was even more striking.
This attracted all the disciples of the Bihai Sect to watch. Even those who were in retreat were awakened by the abnormal fluctuations of spiritual energy. When they came out of the cave, they all looked shocked when they saw the whirlpool of spiritual energy.
"What an amazing vision, worthy of being an ancestor!"
"Ancestor, are you planning to conceive a baby?" a disciple asked.
But before he finished speaking, he saw streaks of escaping light flying to various parts of the Bihai Sect. Su Caocao appeared in the air and used magic to amplify: "Everyone listens to the order. The curfew will be implemented immediately. It is forbidden to go out for a while.
The law enforcement team will then start martial law, please return to your respective houses quickly and do not violate it!"
"Yes, Master!"
When all the disciples heard this, they all looked nervous.
Disobeying Su Caocao's orders, they hurriedly walked towards their respective houses.
I was afraid that if I were a step too late, I would be invited to the law enforcement team for tea.
at the same time.
Lu Zhong finally condensed the star core.
The core of the star is round, about the same size as a newly formed golden elixir, indicating that it is perfectly round and is wrapped in a circle of misty starlight. At first glance, it looks like a golden elixir.
At this moment, it is floating around Lu Zhongjindan, like a satellite surrounding it.
"Huh, I finally got it done!" Lu Zhong said with a sigh of relief.
Operating the Star Eating Secret Technique, he was delighted to find that the speed of drawing star power was significantly faster than before. He originally thought that it would take a long time to fully accumulate star power, but now it seems that he was simply overly worried.
It took half an hour to absorb it, until the star core and star power had accumulated even a trace.
At this time, Lu Zhong started experimenting.
Just as the secret technique describes, the star power stored in the star core, after being transformed by the star source spirit body, can be used to repair injuries and restore mana. The uses can be said to be diverse. It is expected to resist
Heavenly tribulation is not something impossible.
"Why does this star core look like a 'battery'..." Lu Zhong thought.
After all, the star power of the star core can be converted into mana. Although the speed is only faster than the rejuvenation elixir, and it can only restore half of his mana, the effect is indeed like a "battery".
…
Not long after Lu Zhong perfected the Star Eating Technique.
The unexpected came.
The incarnation he sent to the Western Region suddenly lost contact.
When this happens, it usually means the death of the avatar, which makes it too late for the avatar to ask for help, or it can use the power of the main body, which means that the accident happened very suddenly.
"Was he being ambushed? Or..." Lu Zhong thought calmly.
If he was ambushed, it means that the transaction between the Avatar and the Western Alliance has attracted the attention of the Zhenyang Sect, and even the location of the Teleportation Position Palace is very likely to have been grasped by them.
"I hope it was just attacked by something!" Lu Zhong hoped in his heart, but no matter what caused the sudden death of the avatar, he had to go and investigate.
However, before setting off, preparations must be made first. In addition to the necessary elixirs, the incarnation of loss must also be refined.
It took three months.
After arranging everything, Lu Zhong took the three incarnations to the Teleportation Position Palace under Chaosheng Cave.
After passing the teleportation array link and arriving at the sea outside Changchun Fairy City, he did not rush to fly into the sky, but carefully sneaked for a while before turning into a rainbow and flying towards the Poisonous Insect Valley.
Passing a battlefield on the way.
On a large plain, Daomen's side and Changchun Valley's side have formed a neat formation and are slowly advancing forward. They are about to start fighting.
This sudden approaching rainbow light undoubtedly startled both parties.
Subconsciously, they all mistakenly thought it was the other party's secret move.
It is not difficult to see from Hongguang's astonishing escape speed that he is at least in the late stage of pill formation. If such a monk is allowed to kill so many people, no matter how many disciples he has, there won't be enough.
Even if they formed a formation, I'm afraid it would be broken in one blow.
For a moment, both sides felt fearful at the same time and stopped together.
When Lu Zhong saw this scene, he immediately understood what happened.
Ignore them and fly directly from above.
After a few clicks, it disappeared into the horizon.
Only a look of astonishment was left.
…
Poisonous Insect Valley.
Ever since the battle with Jiuying's biological mother, the green-spotted ghost bugs have been in a state of decline. The monsters that had previously taken away their territory came back. They learned to harass this time from nowhere, making the green-spotted ghost bugs constantly running for their lives.
The scope of the poisonous swamp is visibly smaller.
If things continue like this, the insect swarm may all be destroyed.
After dealing with a few bugs blocking his way, Lu Zhong successfully arrived at the Teleportation Position Palace.
Perhaps the ashes of the Yantooth Beast have expired. There are many signs of corrosion on the rock formations and passages outside the underground palace, and even poisonous water has seeped in. Fortunately, the crisis will not be in the underground palace for a while, so there is no need to worry too much.
, you can process it later.
Walk to the teleportation array.
After careful inspection, you can see that the teleportation array is still in a normal state.
Considering the sudden death of the avatar, Lu Zhong did not teleport directly there rashly, but planned to send the avatar to explore the path first. He could only hope that things did not come to the worst, otherwise the western trade route that was finally established would be destroyed.
Completely cut off from now on.
Without such a financial source, it is estimated that his journey to Yuanying will be difficult in the future.
After some preparations, the teleportation array was activated.
After the incarnation disappeared, Lu Zhong immediately cast a spell to remove the sky stone from the teleportation array.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In this way, even if someone on the other side wants to teleport back, there will be a huge deviation in the teleportation destination because there is no blue sky stone in the teleportation array, or even the teleportation will fail.
.
After a while, seeing that the incarnation had not lost contact, Lu Zhong took over the body of the incarnation.
…
Beyond the West.
Lu Zhong looked at everything around him and found no trace of the restriction being touched. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. This at least meant that no one had broken into the underground palace.
Then there is a carpet inspection, leaving no blind spots untouched.
Then, Lu Zhong directly used the spirit-melting secret technique. Although this would cause the incarnation to fall, it could borrow the power of the main body and exert the strength of the late stage of pill formation in a short period of time. With this, powerful spiritual consciousness could be mobilized,
Good scanning determines everything within a range of nearly a thousand feet.
The results were still good and no trace of the enemy was found.
At this point, it can be preliminarily concluded that no enemy has discovered the palace where the teleportation formation is located.
In view of this, Lu Zhong sent a second incarnation.
After careful testing, it was once again confirmed that there was no enemy ambush in the underground palace, so Lu Zhong controlled the avatar to drive the backup spaceship, searching for the accident scene along the last route. If the goods could be found, he would complete the transaction.
Based on the time of the accident, Lu Zhong could roughly deduce the location of the accident, which was about ten thousand miles away from the teleportation position palace.
This made him wonder.
After more than half a day, Feizhou arrived at the scene.
It was a corrupt lake, and the missing flying boat was floating on the corrupted matter. The bottom was extremely corroded. In the uncorroded areas, Lu Zhong saw traces of spell meltdown on it.
Nothing can be seen from these traces alone, not even how the spaceship crashed.
Since the main body couldn't come over, he had no choice but to start searching like a case.
What can be seen is that everything carried by the incarnation, whether it is the goods traded with the Western Alliance or the Xuanmo sword used for self-defense, are all missing.
Later, Lu Zhong discovered another cave entrance.
Without thinking, I went straight in.
This tunnel has been dug for a long time, and corrosion has already penetrated here. There are wisps of red mist floating in the air, and it is still dark inside. Fortunately, there is still very weak light coming in from outside. Lu Zhong controls it.
The incarnation can use the qi-watching technique to move forward without the help of a light source.
Be careful all the way.
Not to mention the attackers, not even a trap was encountered.
Lu Zhong couldn't help but secretly thought it was strange.
"Could it be... that when the spaceship crashed unexpectedly, it happened to be discovered by some survivors from the Western Region, and then they came out and moved everything away?"
I couldn't think of a reason, so I just continued to explore below.
Soon, we entered the underground world.
At first, the places he passed along the way were very barren, with only some inedible moss left. Lu Zhong saw some footprints in these places, and the traces were very fresh. The nearest one was even three days ago, which made him suspicious of this place.
Do people come here often to collect things?
Passing through the underground worlds one after another, and going down to a depth of about a thousand feet.
Lu Zhong finally saw a camp.
And the goods he lost were being cooked in a group of monks' pots.
Judging from the detection results of the Qi Watching Technique, among this group of hundreds of monks with unknown origins, the strongest ones are only in the middle stage of foundation building, and they don't look like they can hit a flying boat.
Seeing that they were defenseless, Lu Zhong simply sneaked over.
With his current attainments in the Breath Condensation Technique, it is very easy to sneak into this camp unknowingly as long as he is not directly seen.
"Hahaha, after a long drought comes the rain!" someone said while drinking the spiritual honey.
"Yes, I have been silent for so long, how could I expect someone to send such a generous gift!" Someone agreed, holding the rice in the bowl and eating it.
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Senior Brother Yan. If you hadn't knocked down the flying boat with one blow, how could we have lived so freely... That talisman was extremely accurate. Junior brother, here's to you!"
"Hahaha, it's just luck." The long-bearded monk laughed. While raising the glass, he didn't forget to pull on the worn cassock, trying to maintain his posture at all times.
Looking at the patterns on the cassocks, Lu Zhong knew the origin of this group of people.
"I didn't expect to meet the disciples of the Zhenyang Sect here! And, if I'm not mistaken, these people should be the group of Zhenyang Sect monks who had to abandon the ship after the boat broke down..."
Recalling the numerous crimes they had committed, even Lu Zhong felt that he couldn't stand it any longer, so he decided to wait until later to get the blame.
But now, he still has important things to do.
The group of people mentioned just now that there are also pill-forming monks among them, but at this moment, those three people are practicing in a spiritual vein below. Moreover, during the conversation, the Zhenyang Sect monks mentioned that there seemed to be treasures down there, but it was a pity.
The wording is unclear and it is impossible to determine exactly what it is.
Relying on the incarnation, Lu Zhong touched the direction of the spiritual veins.
Since there is a treasure, but it is still occupied by a group of Zhenyang Sect monks, it is obviously time for him to do something for heaven. He has the moral high ground and is not afraid of being called a bandit who "kills people to seize treasures".
Passing through a stalagmite forest, the spiritual energy concentration began to slowly increase.
There is a cave entrance in front of you, and you can clearly see that there is a trace amount of spiritual energy gushing out from it.
Obviously, the spiritual veins are in the cave!
Seeing a disciple of Zhenyang Sect guarding the entrance of the cave, he condensed a shocking thorn and shot it out, killing his soul silently, leaving only a flesh shell.
After touching the hole and passing through a protective shield, the spiritual energy concentration suddenly increased.
"At least he has a third-level spiritual vein." Lu Zhong thought to himself.
As we advanced through the cave, we met five Zhenyang Sect monks along the way. They were all in retreat, practicing extremely selflessly. It could be said that they were in an undefended state and could not detect Lu Zhong who was in a breath-containing state, so they all stepped out.
On to Huangquan Road.
The further you go inside, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy becomes.
Finally, the end has come.
"Golden Lotus Emerging from the Earth!"
Lu Zhong looked at the whole pool of golden lotus at the spiritual vein node, and his mind suddenly lost control, and he couldn't help shouting.
It's not that his state of mind is poor, it's that what he saw was too shocking!
"Who is it!" A shout came out.
Immediately afterwards, a wave of fire surged out from the edge of the pool, and a fiery red figure flew out from it. It was a beautiful female cultivator with disheveled hair. She was naked at the moment, and a layer of blazing flames lingered around her body, and she was immediately released.
Powerful consciousness swept towards the source of the sound.
Almost the next moment, he swept over Lu Zhong, who was breathing heavily.
"Discovered!"
Without hesitation, he blew himself up!
…
In the underground palace.
Lu Zhong, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened his eyes.
"Golden Lotus Emerging from the Earth!"
His breathing couldn't help but accelerate. To him now, this thing was as good as an elixir. After all, it was one of the few spiritual things that could directly improve his cultivation level and had extremely low side effects.
Such a magical elixir that conquers heaven and earth.
As early as ancient times, it was already on the verge of extinction.
It's not just monks who have a need for elixirs. Demonic beasts will also swallow elixirs in order to advance quickly.
But now, he was actually bumped into!
Lu Zhong took a deep breath and suddenly made a decision in his heart.
If it were other monks there, he might still hesitate for a moment or two, but since he is a Zhenyang Sect monk, there is no need to worry.
