The three clan leaders were all stunned. They did not expect such a reward.
It’s quite generous!
Limited by the barren aura environment and the harsh cold climate in northern Xinjiang, the price of foundation-building pills in the Xiyang Kingdom's immortal world has always remained high, with the transaction price at least 50,000 spirit stones.
A Qi-refining family like theirs can only have a balance of more than a thousand spirit stones in a year at most.
Right now, just by protecting the law for ten years, you can earn one foundation-building pill.
Such a good thing happened to them!
"Thank you, senior. Is... only ten years enough? Or add it to fifty years!" The head of the Gao family said carefully. He took the Foundation Establishment Pill too easily, and he felt really uneasy.
You must know that even if you are a true protector of the law for fifty years, the labor you put in is equivalent to a thousand spiritual stones per year, which is equivalent to the annual income of a foundation-building monk.
He is just a seventh-level Qi refining monk, and he usually only earns three to five hundred spirit stones every year, which is equivalent to doubling his income.
Moreover, the mission is just to stay by the Molin Lake.
For the three of them, this is a daily routine.
Hearing this, Lu Zhong just chuckled. For these low-level monks, the Foundation Establishment Pill is an extremely rare thing, and it is even worth risking his life for. But for a practitioner like him who "spends money like water", every year
For a monk who often consumes tens of millions of spiritual stones to make elixirs, this is just a small amount that he doesn't care about at all.
Three people did not respond.
"I don't want anyone to come near this place in the next ten years!"
Lu Zhong dropped these words and suddenly turned into a starlight. After flashing for a few times, it disappeared into the lake.
Seeing the senior leave, the heads of the three families looked at the pothole, looked at each other, and then smiled bitterly. They had to swallow back the words of thanks they had prepared.
"This senior is really generous in taking action." The head of the Zhao family stared at the pothole, turned to look at two old friends for many years, and said with stern eyes: "I think none of us should be able to refuse that building."
Ji Dan’s reward, right? Let’s talk about the ugly things first, I, Zhao Liyuan, don’t want to see anyone reporting to Xiao Yuan Palace.”
Xiao Yuan Palace is the Yuan Ying sect that rules the Xiyang Kingdom and other nine kingdoms.
When a strange high-level monk appears in the territory, the families and sects below are obliged to report it, and usually get some rewards for it.
"Brother Zhao, I can guarantee that this kind of thing will never happen in the Wang family!" the head of the Wang family said, patting his chest.
"Brother Wang, Brother Zhao, do you think my Gao family is such a villain?" the head of the Gao family laughed.
A foundation-building pill is worth fifty thousand spiritual stones. Even if the Gao family saves for fifty years, they may not be able to save this amount of spiritual stones. Who would ruin their family's future hopes for a small profit?
The three people immediately decided to block the news and began to discuss the details in detail.
…
Bottom of Molin Lake.
Lu Zhong opened a cave here.
Through the gray fog space, after monitoring the sound transmission of the three people on the shore, he showed a satisfied smile. A person who knows the current affairs is a hero, and the patriarch of the third family of King Zhao and Gao seems to be very knowledgeable.
This can save a lot of trouble.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Zhong moved his gaze to the left and looked at Shui Ni, whose eyes were still closed, with a puzzled expression on his face. Her current situation was obviously normal, but she just couldn't wake up.
"Well, we can only find out the reason with the help of real memories."
Before that, he had to remove the black energy that imprisoned his spiritual consciousness and cultivation in his sea of consciousness and Dantian. Only in this way could he have enough spiritual power to maintain the consumption of real memories.
.
By the way, the hidden injuries in the body must also be restored.
Regarding this point, since I have taken a bottle of panacea, I will not encounter difficulties in the healing process. I only need to do some water grinding work and slowly nourish it with spiritual energy.
Time passes day by day.
In addition to meditating every day to polish off the black energy, Lu Zhong is also paying attention to the situation there with the help of the incarnation left in Nanman.
In hindsight, the opening of the Temple of Witches was completely a trap.
After swallowing up a group of Nascent Soul cultivators, the huge Ten Thousand Witches Palace was shrouded in a barrier, and this barrier was connected to the Great Wall of Spiritual Energy. Not only was the defense impregnable, but even if the Supreme Master of the Transformation God came in person, he wanted to
It also takes a lot of effort to break it open.
The only good news is that as one of the trap baits, there were leaks and holes in various parts of the Spiritual Qi Great Wall, and they were repaired when the Wanwu Palace barrier was opened.
The evil problem that has plagued the Southern Barbarian immortal world for decades and caused the death and injury of tens of millions of creatures has finally been solved.
From this point of view, the Nascent Souls can be regarded as making some contributions to the Nanman in disguise this time.
Extremely valuable.
In addition, as far as Lu Zhong knows so far.
Apart from him, there was no news from all of them, whether it was the Dao sect, Zhu Yuanhuo Yaozi and others, or the Yuanying monks who came to hunt for treasures from China.
It is expected that they should still be in that "dark" body.
The disappearance of the Nascent Soul Lord who had been suppressing one side was undoubtedly a huge change for the huge Southern Barbarian immortal world. Many families or sects regarded this incident as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rise. In addition, there were also some external forces.
Intervene and secretly stir up trouble in Nanman.
Betrayal, turn against the guest, declare orthodoxy...
For a time, war broke out all over the southern barbarians.
The turmoil started from Zhenling Sect in the west and reached Changchun Valley in the east.
Even the Bihai Sect, which is located in a corner overseas, has experienced quite a bit of civil strife.
The Bihai Sect is a sect with insufficient foundation. Even though Lu Zhong forcibly pulled him into the Nascent Soul Sect, there are not enough alchemy monks. A person like this controls the Bihai trade and earns tens of millions of spiritual stones every year.
Ji's sect will inevitably become fat and fat in the eyes of outsiders.
Fortunately, Lu Zhong also has Ba Qiong, the Queen of Insects.
With such a fourth-level demonic insect here, and with the help of the Shanshan Zhou, Bihai Sect can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai, and even has the strength to declare war on Changchun Valley.
Currently, Su Caocao is under the instruction of Lu Zhong.
Already taking action against Changchun Valley, the annexation process has officially begun.
The only target was Changchun Valley. It wasn't that Lu Zhong didn't have a big appetite, but that he was afraid of the Gui Miao Immortal Sect in the Middle Earth. At present, he was only in the early stage of Nascent Soul, so he could only do this.
Only when you stand high can you see far.
Lu Zhong also reached the Nascent Soul stage, and after learning more about the secrets of the world of immortality, he realized that the dispute between the Taoist side and Changchun Valley seemed to be a dispute between the two Taoist traditions, but in fact it was the result of the Immortal Sect's check and balance policy.
The balance of power leads to this situation of two evenly matched heroes competing.
If he destroys the balance of southern barbarian forces, there is a high probability that he will be annihilated.
It would be better to concentrate on training first. When the cultivation level reaches the late Nascent Soul stage and you have the confidence to fight against the Guimiao Immortal Sect, it will not be too late to plan for the unification of the Southern Barbarians.
As for the incarnations lurking in the various sects of the Southern Barbarians.
Lu Zhong did not let them idle, and decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity to let the incarnations climb as high as they can. It would be best if they could become high-ranking officials of various sects, or even hold the position of sect leader.
…
Seven long years, fleeting.
On this day, Lu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew, my cultivation has finally recovered!"
Carefully feeling the surging and flowing pure mana in his body, a smile finally appeared on his face, and then he looked at Shui Ni, who was still sleeping, and his expression became solemn again.
Seven years have passed, and Shui Ni not only shows no signs of waking up, but is getting weaker day by day.
If this situation continues.
I'm afraid that within a hundred years, the fragrance will disappear and the jade will disappear.
Without further ado, Lu Zhong immediately entered the gray fog space, and with the help of his true recall ability, he began to try to find out the reason why Shui Ni had not woken up.
In the following time, apart from his daily meditation exercises, he spent the rest of his time on this.
Two years have passed in a flash.
After trying, Lu Zhong figured out the reason.
However, there was an inexplicable addition of a small black insect to Shui Ni's soul. It was emitting bursts of black light at the moment, greedily and uncontrollably absorbing her original soul power.
If nothing unexpected happened, Shui Ni should have been "parasitized".
"Then why am I safe and sound?"
Lu Zhong thought of this and recalled his previous memories.
After being swallowed by "darkness", it was actually not a coincidence that he and Shui Ni appeared in the same stomach pouch.
But on the way, Shui Ni used some unknown means to suddenly wake up and the two reunited. After many failed attempts to leave, she exhausted all her strength and was forced to fall into deep sleep again.
This also explains why when he woke up before, Shui Ni was pressed under him.
"That's it..." Lu Zhong gently stroked Shui Ni's face, a soft color appeared in his eyes, and then he smiled softly, feeling inexplicable warmth in his heart.
Then continue to recall memories.
Only then did Lu Zhong realize that he was not being treated differently. Instead, after being swallowed by "darkness", the armored wood thunder seal in the sea of consciousness took effect. As soon as the parasitic bugs came in, they were killed by the thunder seal.
Thanks to the Jiamu Thunder Seal, he was able to avoid being parasitized.
Not only that, after absorbing the parasitic bug, the soul has also been strengthened a lot. This is reflected in the distance of the spiritual consciousness, which is an extra five feet and one foot.
"So, how to remove the parasitic bugs from the soul?"
Judging from the observation results, the parasite and Shui Ni's soul are almost connected to each other through subtle spiritual threads. If violent force is used to remove it, the soul will definitely be injured. The monk's soul is abnormally important.
Even a slight injury may lead to a life or death crisis.
Therefore, if you want to solve the problem of parasitism, you must first find a suitable solution.
Regarding this issue, Lu Zhong felt that he was not helpless. After all, he still had gray fog space and was an alchemist who was proficient in alchemy. He relied on real memories and a few experiments in preparing medicine.
It's not difficult to find a solution.
"But now, the most important thing is to find a way to return to Nanman."
Without the support of Bihai Sect's resources, Lu Zhong would naturally not be able to refine the elixir, and his cultivation speed would almost drop to the freezing point.
If things go on like this, they will inevitably be trapped and die in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
Regarding the route back to the Southern Barbarians, Lu Zhong had asked King Zhao and the Gao Tribe to inquire in advance. But the Tribe was just a small, inferior Qi-refining family, and its members had never even left the Xiyang Kingdom. How could he find out information about cross-domain matters?
Fortunately, it was not completely fruitless. They inquired about the Yuyuan Immortal City located in Huangdao Mountain and got relevant information.
So Lu Zhong's next plan is to go to Yuyuan Immortal City.
Regarding the previous agreement, he had no intention of breaking his promise.
It has to be said that the three clans of King Zhao and Gao have been able to coexist for hundreds of years and are very good at assessing situations. He had previously guessed that something would happen because of the three clans when he was recovering from his injuries.
But it turns out that these three families or the patriarchs who lead the families are quite smart.
"For a family like this, the only thing missing is a chance to fly. It seems that because of your dedicated protection, it doesn't hurt to give you a small chance..." Lu Zhong's eyes showed admiration, so he dug out a pile of clutter in his eyes,
Putting it together with the Foundation Establishment Pill, he used the Qiankun Technique in his sleeves and disappeared with Shui Ni.
It was not until a few days later that Zhao Wang and Gao San's family discovered that Lu Zhong had left.
After receiving the news, the three clan leaders hurried to the cave. When they saw the three Foundation Establishment Pills and a large number of treasures, they were all stunned.
After they understood what was going on, they couldn't help but feel extremely complicated. They looked at each other and bowed deeply to the south.
…
Two months later, Lu Zhong finally entered the boundary of the Yellow Dao Mountain.
The journey from Molin Lake to Huangdao Mountain was only tens of thousands of miles away. The reason why he spent so long on the road was because he found a way to remove the parasite during a routine experiment on the way.
This method is quite simple.
Through the stimulation of a certain frequency of tribulation thunder, the parasites can penetrate into Shui Ni's spiritual threads and gradually wither irreversibly.
When the connection between the parasite and the soul is destroyed, the parasite can be removed at will, allowing Shui Ni to wake up from her deep sleep.
But new problems also arise.
The tribulation thunder stimulates the soul, which can certainly cause the spiritual thread to wither, but it will also damage Shui Ni's soul.
"It seems that while I am collecting information back to the Southern Barbarians, I also have to collect spiritual objects that warm and nourish the soul, so as not to let the calamity thunder destroy the foundation of her soul."
Fortunately, the two things can be done at the same time without any interference.
It just takes more effort.
As I was thinking about flying, there were gradually more and more rainbow lights flying in the sky around me.
Descending below the dark clouds, a magnificent city with brilliant lights standing on top of the mountains, shrouded in the sky of ice and snow, finally came into view.
This is his destination - Yuyuan Immortal City.
Yuyuan Immortal City is affiliated to Xiaoyuan Palace. The scale of urban construction is slightly smaller than that of Changchun Immortal City. The architectural style inside is very different from that of Nanman. Perhaps it is affected by the cold climate in northern Xinjiang. There are no open pavilions and pavilions here. All buildings
They were all sealed tightly, with only the thick walls remaining except for the doors and windows.
And this also created the unique fortress architecture in northern Xinjiang.
The so-called fortress, as the name suggests, has an appearance like a fort.
Lu Zhong reduced his cultivation to the early stage of elixir formation and landed on the ground early. There was no need to line up with the low-level monks. He only had to report to the customs building and the Xiaoyuan Palace Foundation Builder would respectfully present the jade plaque.
As long as you carry this jade token with you, you can travel smoothly in Yuyuan Immortal City.
After entering the city, spiritual energy suddenly appeared.
The entire Jade Yuan Immortal City is built on a giant fourth-order spiritual vein. In terms of the concentration of spiritual energy in the city, although it is not as good as inside the Yuanying Sect, it is higher than the Changchun Immortal City.
Turn around and come to the bustling central business district.
Lu Zhong did not go to a new place to experience the customs and customs as usual, but went straight to the shop selling news.
