Lu Zhong raised his hand, and dragon flags came out from all directions, turning into small agile dragons in the wind. They shook their heads and swung their tails to protect the surroundings. Then, a small silver mirror shone brightly, and a buzzing sound was heard.
A sharp look flashed in the eyes of the demon cultivator opposite.
Without saying a word, it flashed and reappeared a hundred feet away. It teleported several times in succession and approached directly in front of Lu Zhong. Its claws went straight for the vital part of his dantian and ruthlessly probed out.
With a "clang" sound, the dragon's claws were blocked by the dragon spirit flag.
Sword light filled with thunder and lightning came.
But it was Lu Zhong who sacrificed the lightning rod and caused the thunder to be applied on it. At this moment, lightning and thunder continued, the originally golden sword body turned into a blazing white, and thunder and lightning lingered around it.
The demon cultivator's expression changed immediately when he saw such a sword strike.
A hint of shock appeared on his originally ferocious face.
He opened his mouth and spit out a stream of black water.
The black water squirmed like a living thing, turning into an evil dragon with teeth and claws, roaring several times, and facing the lightning rod without dodging.
The next moment, an astonishing shock wave of spiritual energy spread out.
Even though the lightning rod collided with the black water at a height of a hundred feet, the huge shock wave still scraped open the sea below, revealing the seabed underneath.
When the lightning dissipated, the evil dragon transformed by the black water was intact.
Seeing this situation, Lu Zhong frowned.
"Ruo You Zhen Shui?"
According to classic records, this water only appears in the depths of the ocean abyss. It is refined from Ruoyou Black Water and is said to have the effect of resisting thunder.
I didn't expect this to be true.
"Since thunder is ineffective, we can only use fire..."
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong spit out a purple flame and flicked it out with his fingers.
The purple flames flew not far away, and immediately began to sweep wildly, covering an area of several hundred feet, turning the place into a world of flames in the blink of an eye, and immediately began to separate into fireballs, and roared towards the demon cultivator.
Shoot it away, and it will burn it to ashes.
On the other side, the Ruoyou True Water released by the demon cultivator has turned into a protective shield to wrap it up. Looking at its solemn expression, it is obvious that it is full of fear of the Purple Nether Fire.
When the two of them fought, the insect queen was still going through the tribulation.
After several more waves of thunder, its upper body began to change. Instead of its rough and wild appearance, it began to become slender, especially the pair of insect limbs under its ribs, which began to resemble human hands.
Seeing this scene, the demon cultivator had a look of eagerness on his face, and burst into filial piety from his mouth.
However, his expression was seen by Lu Zhong.
Immediately rush to activate the Star Mirror, not giving the demon cultivator the slightest chance.
Streams of mirror light shot together and fell on the shield made of Ruoyouzhen water. Most of the hits caused the shield to fluctuate violently, and a small part fell into the air. The ones that were deflected and shot high into the sky disappeared. If they hit the sea below, they would suddenly
It can explode a column of water dozens of feet high.
At this moment, the demon cultivator became anxious.
Seeing the end of the catastrophe, the insect queen was about to pass through. If it could not break through Lu Zhong's blockage and wait until the worm queen transformed into a spirit after the tribulation, he would have no chance in the future.
If one is not good, he may even be besieged.
Then it looked up to the sky and roared with filial piety, and a dazzling black light erupted from its body. A black dragon more than three hundred feet long rushed out from it. It shook its head and swung its tail, opened its bloody mouth, and blew out a large jet of black wind.
At the same time, the ball of Ruoyuzhen water condensed into a ball.
In an instant, it began to spin and shoot out droplets of water.
When the black wind encountered the water droplets, it immediately transformed into evil dragons, exuding extremely strong waves of demonic energy. Naturally, Lu Zhong did not dare to take a direct hit, and continued to use the Star Mirror to counterattack, while also using the Shuo Xing Escape to dodge.
.
Occasionally, when there is no way to escape, the Jiaoling Banner will be responsible for resisting.
"Peng Peng Peng!" A series of explosions.
The evil dragons exploded one after another.
At this time, Lu Zhong was shocked to find that his body-protecting energy was being corroded rapidly, and less than half of it was cut off in a few strokes. If this situation continued, he would not be able to last long.
He could only flip his hand over and pull out the human-faced dragon flag.
His original plan was to restrict the activities of the demon cultivators first, and then use the fire-eating magical power. Although this would not kill the dragon, it could still teach him a profound lesson.
But now, this method can only be used in advance.
The next moment there was a line of fire going from thin to thick.
"Squeak-"
The fire pillar passed through the air, directly penetrated the barrier formed by Ruoyou Zhenshui, and landed on the tail of the black dragon.
However, what surprised Lu Zhong was that after the fire pillar penetrated the black dragon's body-protecting demonic energy, it encountered the layer of crystal-like black scales, and it actually took a while to penetrate.
"What an amazing protection!" Lu Zhong rarely showed surprise.
As a magic weapon holder, he knows the power of the human-faced dragon's flag and fire-eating magical power. But now, the black dragon can withstand it for a short time just by relying on its scales.
Fortunately, it finally penetrated.
The pillar of fire flicked up and immediately split the dragon's tail into two.
The black dragon looked up to the sky and roared in mourning after eating the pain, causing the heaven and earth to change color.
Realizing the power of the human-faced dragon flag, he no longer dared to reveal his original form. The black light flashed and turned into a human form again. However, compared with before, the thick tail behind him was now missing half a length.
Zhang Jiao's face was full of anger, but he did not continue to take action.
The demon cultivator looked behind the insect and saw that it was about to complete its transformation. He roared angrily and gave Lu Zhong a serious look before turning into black wind and disappearing into the sea.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong did not stop him.
In the fight just now, nearly half of his body-protecting energy had been cut away.
This shows how powerful this demon cultivator is.
I rashly pursued him, not knowing what danger I would encounter.
It's better to just accept it when it's good.
Lu Zhong stretched out his hand to take a shot, and got a dragon tail that was more than thirty feet long. With so much dragon meat, this shot was worth the price.
At this moment, a white light flew closer.
After the light dissipated, a slender figure was revealed, but it was the insect queen who had survived the thunder catastrophe of transformation. Compared with the previous figure, which was ten feet tall.
At this moment, she was only one foot tall, and she had undoubtedly shrunk by more than half.
When I saw the insect queen, her upper body had completely transformed into a human form, and even a pair of slender hands had appeared. If you didn't look at the ferocious lower body, she could be regarded as a beautiful fairy.
In this regard, Lu Zhong couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After all, the more difficult it is to transform into a creature, the greater the potential for future growth. She had just completed the transformation, and she was already half-incarnated into a human body. Obviously, there was not much potential left in the future.
"That's not right!" He took a closer look.
"It turns out to be mimicry..."
When the monster transforms into a human body, the upper body of the insect queen looks like a human body, but in fact it just changes the insect shell and mimics the human form.
Essentially, it's a humanoid insect.
The difference between the degree of transformation and that of the black dragon is only about half way. This shows that the potential gap between the two is not big, and even the insect queen is still faintly above the black dragon.
Joy suddenly welled up in my heart.
Lu Zhong couldn't help but laugh.
"Master, please give me a name!" the insect queen suddenly said at this time.
The voice she made was very weird. It was completely different from normal people speaking. It was more like a synthesized voice. There was no emotion or tone.
Lu Zhong, who was overjoyed, didn't care.
I thought I had to name it again.
He had always had difficulty in choosing a name, and suddenly he felt a headache. Considering that the insect queen had broken through to the fourth level and was considered a demon cultivator, this real name could not be chosen casually.
"Ba Qiong, this is your name."
In fact, Lu Zhong originally thought of the name Baqiong, and he followed the naming method of Jiuying, but the name with an eight in it didn't sound good, so he changed the name from eight to Ba.
"Baqiong, Baqiong..." The queen's mood fluctuated slightly.
Some kind of connection is established.
Whenever she pronounces this name from now on, she will feel it in her heart.
Afterwards, Lu Zhong communicated with Ba Qiong and got a general understanding of her strength.
As Queen Jade Qiong, Ba Qiong's ability to fight alone can be said to be at the bottom among demon cultivators.
This is because the insect queen does not take the route of strengthening individuals, but mainly relies on laying a large number of eggs to hatch soldier insects, and breeds an impressive sea of insects.
According to Ba Qiong's own words, the appearance of the soldier insects bred from the fourth-order insect queen is not that big fleshy insect, but is similar to her tribulation form.
The strength can be increased up to three levels.
Upon hearing this, a scene suddenly formed in Lu Zhong's mind.
An endless number of ferocious giant insects rushed toward him like a mountain, and every one of them was fearless and fearless. They kept going forward one after another without stopping, until they were finally submerged by the tide of insects.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, and he couldn't help but think to himself: "If the sea of insects is allowed to take shape, this scene may really happen."
But in order for the Insect Sea to take shape, the resources required are huge, and obviously they are not something Lu Zhong can afford. Even if the Bihai Sect and the Chengde Chamber of Commerce are packaged and sold, the resources raised will probably be a drop in the bucket.
After thinking about it, there is only one way to solve it.
Let Bachong be self-reliant.
Lu Zhong decided to send her to the Abyssal Continent. The environment there was not bad for the Jade Qiong Insects. In addition, there were many monsters in the Abyssal Continent, which was very suitable for the insects to feed and thrive.
In this way, it can also provide protection for the settlements opened in Abyss Continent.
After making a decision in his mind, he thought about the deal with Xu Jiao.
After some questioning, Lu Zhong learned the conditions for Baqiong to produce fine wine. As he had expected before, producing fine wine required consuming her natal essence.
The natal essence of the demon cultivator is similar to the innate infant energy of the immortal cultivator.
Very important.
Fortunately, Baqiong said at this time that if he could take the dragon's tail, he could greatly reduce the sequelae and recover quickly.
Lu Zhong did not hesitate at all and handed the dragon tail to Ba Qiong.
Since it belonged to the demon cultivator, he had never thought of swallowing the dragon tail. He originally planned to refine it into a magic weapon, but considering that a single dragon tail, it seemed impossible to refine a powerful magic weapon.
It's better to use it to restore her strength.
In this way, the size of the insect swarm can also expand faster.
The larger the insect swarm in Abyss Continent is, the more spiritual honey it can produce. Even if most of it has to be supplied to the soldier insects, the remaining spiritual honey is still an astonishing amount.
Give it time.
It is not a problem for Shenglingmi’s output to exceed that of Bihai.
…
After explaining to Ba Qiong, Lu Zhong turned around and returned to Chaosheng Cave.
In the quiet room, he took out a dragon soul.
This dragon soul is taken from the crystal rock dragon, and its appearance is similar to that of the dragon in life. The small dragon it transformed into is slightly sluggish, lying there motionless.
He felt a lot of pressure from the battle with the black dragon.
Now that his cultivation level has been stabilized, he can just take the time to refine the crystal rock dragon soul into a dragon spirit flag.
Restoration with some breath control.
Then Lu Zhong made a magic formula with both hands.
A stream of star-blue flames spurted out from his mouth. It was the infant fire method that only Yuanying stage monks could use. After wrapping the crystal rock dragon soul, he immediately started refining the dragon spirit flag.
Compared with the pill-forming stage, it is extremely easy to refine the dragon soul at this moment.
Less than half a month later, Lu Zhong used infant fire to refine the dragon soul into a weapon embryo.
More than half a month has passed.
A dragon spirit flag was successfully refined.
After a simple sacrifice, Lu Zhong realized that the crystal rock dragon soul was not dull. It was very different from the other dragon spirit flags, including the poisonous dragon flag.
Ordinary Jiaoling flags serve as indiscriminate protectors.
The Poison Dragon Flag has higher intelligence and gives priority to blocking deadly threats.
The crystal rock dragon flag is a cover-up, only blocking the spells or magic weapons that are about to fall on him.
"The three kinds of dragon spirit flags complement each other. When combined, they can form an airtight protective wall, which is enough to resist the early stage monks of Nascent Soul."
Lu Zhong was very satisfied with this.
In his mind, the figure of the black dragon appeared.
"I wonder what effect the dragon spirit flag made from the black dragon soul will have?"
It must be very impressive.
Unfortunately, this dragon is too strong. With his current strength, it is almost impossible to kill him.
…
In the following days, Lu Zhong devoted himself to seclusion.
He spent every day taking pills and refining his energy. Occasionally when the pills were in short supply, he would begin to understand the method of transforming into a dragon and increase his strength in preparation for the trip to the Temple of Ten Thousand Witches.
During this period, I also did not forget to take the time to refine the Earth Spirit Crystal into the Star Mirror.
This thing is truly a treasure from heaven and earth.
The effect is extraordinary!
After wasting a lot of effort, and even wasting his infant energy to refine it into the Star Mirror, the power of this natal magic weapon suddenly increased sharply, and it suddenly broke through the fifteenth level of restrictions.
According to his understanding, the restricted weight of the magic weapon in the early stage of the veteran Nascent Soul is basically within this range.
What surprised Lu Zhong even more was...
As the number of restrictions increased, the effect of the "Star Gathering Technique" possessed by the Star Mirror was greatly enhanced. The originally insignificant effect of the increase became apparent again.
The strength has increased a lot as a result.
Lu Zhong made some calculations and felt that if he encountered Huo Yaozi again, he was at least 70% sure that he could destroy Huo Yaozi's body at the expense of his own minor injuries.
As for killing Nascent Soul...
But there was still no chance.
Unless the opponent's Nascent Soul can be imprisoned for a short period of time, once it escapes, he, who is also in the early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation, will have no chance of catching up.
…
Time flies by like a white horse.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye.
Bihai Sect finally trained the first alchemy monk.
There is no surprise that the new Danjie is Lu Zhong’s eldest disciple Su Caocao.
This woman has never slacked off in her cultivation, so it is not surprising that she has achieved such success.
On the day of the Golden Elixir Ceremony, in front of nearly ten thousand guests, Lu Zhong officially announced that he would hand over the position of head of the Bihai Sect to Su Caocao.
He had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
"Finally I can be a hands-off shopkeeper!" Lu Zhong said happily.
Several months passed like this.
Before the Lantern Festival.
A big event happened that shocked the southern barbarians!
After decades of traction by Xuandu's Secret Array, Wanwu Temple, which was originally lost in the void, finally broke through and returned on this day.
Even if you are in the blue sea, you can still see this palace hanging high in the sky.
