Liu Jian turned into a rainbow light and flew towards him. His aura was still quite empty, and there were even blood stains left on his seven orifices, indicating that he had indeed suffered a great deal of damage after the magic weapon of his life was destroyed. However, looking at the sloughed skin on the ground, his eyes were full of
A surprise.
It can be clearly seen that Liujian attaches great importance to this thing.
"I was able to obtain the spirit pattern this time, thanks to Fellow Daoist Chen. However, it still escaped in the end, which is really a pity... As for the skin slough on the ground, how about Fellow Daoist taking it away after the spirit pattern map comes out later?" Liu Jian
Having said this, his expression seemed a little nervous.
"No need, just make a copy and give it to me." Lu Zhong said with a smile.
He had seen the skin slough before. It was just a layer of dead skin with no value at all. It would probably not take long before it would turn into dust and dissipate.
In the gray mist space, it doesn't matter whether the skin is shed or not. Lu Zhong only needs to review the scene to completely copy down the spiritual patterns revealed on the skin.
In this case, it's better to be a favor.
Liu Jian was naturally overjoyed when he heard this.
Immediately, Lu Zhong asked for a map from Yong Ming and separated from Liu Jian and others. He began to use the scene to recall the story and headed straight for the next target - Huang Jiyu.
Looking back all the way, he actually found this thing.
However, just like most of the elixirs in the world, Huang Ji Yu Jie is also guarded by monsters.
It is a large insect with an earthy yellow carapace and spots. It looks like an aggregation of a scorpion and a centipede. It can spray extremely corrosive venom. Its strength is at the top level among its peers.
However, it is only the third level.
Lu Zhongning took out a spiritual sword and solved it easily.
I got some materials and a third-level demon pill.
He put the storage ring away without even looking at it. Then, he moved his gaze upwards and looked at the spiritual tree growing in the loess.
Huang Ji Jade is not a spiritual flower or spiritual fruit.
It comes from the Huangji Spirit Tree. It is actually a kind of spiritual material obtained after processing the jade resin infiltrated from the Huangji Jade Fruit. Because of its amazing spiritual energy, it has become an alchemy material over time.
"One, two, three...eleven. I didn't expect that there were as many as eleven fruits on this spiritual tree!" After Lu Zhong counted the harvest, he was overjoyed for a moment and couldn't help laughing.
After returning home, he only needs to cut open these yellow jade fruits, and then after some processing and refining, he can turn the jade fat into yellow jade fruits.
It is estimated that at least seven materials can be obtained.
Because there is a gray fog space, simulated alchemy can be carried out.
In other words, seven parts of Huang Ji Yu Jie represent.
That’s seven furnaces of Huangji Tianchen Pill.
"Hahaha!" Lu Zhong laughed again.
If there are seven furnaces of elixirs, then he won't have to worry about elixirs for a while in the future.
In this way, there will be more time to collect elixir recipes, or wait for the Western Region to study the spirit patterns of alien beasts and make new progress in the technology of spiritual energy transformation.
After putting the yellow jade fruit away, Lu Zhong searched the area.
I really discovered a lot of magical medicines.
Unfortunately, they were all low-level elixirs, and there was only one Huangji Spiritual Tree. His expectations were dashed. But soon, another bold idea emerged in his mind.
"I wonder where this strange beast came from?"
Lu Zhong thought of this and did not make a decision immediately.
Instead, he first contacted the incarnation of the Bihai Sect and learned from him that the Southern Barbarians were still at peace and that no major incidents had occurred during his absence. Then he decided to pursue the source of the strange beasts. At this time, he felt faintly in his heart.
I have a strong hunch that I might be able to find something there.
With the help of the gray fog space, Lu Zhong began to take action.
The source of the appearance of the strange beasts seems to be deep underground.
Therefore, he was traveling downwards along the way.
As the depth continued to increase, many minerals that had never been seen in classics were discovered one by one, and a small part of them seemed to be applicable to magic weapons.
On the way, we passed through many magnificent underground worlds.
Or a vibrant lava ocean, in which a large number of strange creatures are active; or a strange cave full of giant fossils, with no openings around, making people wonder whether the fossils appeared out of thin air; or a rock covered with colorful luminous fungi.
Tunnel, being in it feels like being in a rainbow wonderland.
"I never imagined that the magnificent scenery in this world would be created just for me one day!"
Lu Zhong, who was feasting his eyes on it, was filled with emotion in his heart.
When he first came to this world, he was just a rookie casual cultivator. He once thought that only those "proud ones of heaven" could witness the splendid scenery of the world of immortality. But he never thought that in less than three hundred years, he would become a cultivator.
He has become a big shot that was unimaginable in the past.
"It's true, this moment and that moment..."
Then he stopped his thoughts and stopped thinking about flying.
The deeper you go underground, the higher the air pressure becomes. The shapes of the creatures you encounter along the way become more and more "flatter", most of them are like shoe mats, softly spread on the ground.
At the same time, the temperature is gradually dropping.
Continuing to fly and follow the movement of the alien beasts, Lu Zhong entered a dark underground world, the largest he had seen along the way. Even if he released his spiritual consciousness, he could not reach the end. And according to the feedback from his spiritual consciousness, here
There are actually large areas of ruins, which is really unexpected.
Looking at the place where he couldn't see his fingers, he made a secret and released a "Sunrise Technique".
This technique is a fourth-level spell, which can be regarded as an advancement of "Candlelight Technique".
After quickly completing the display, Lu Zhong waved his hand.
A huge ball of light came out of his hand. It emitted a dazzling light and slowly rose into the sky until it finally settled on the top of the rock, illuminating a range of hundreds of miles. However, this still failed to reach the end of the space. In places that the light could not cover,
It was still pitch black.
Fortunately, this is enough.
When Lu Zhong saw the ruins in front of him clearly, he couldn't help showing a look of shock again on his face.
“I have never seen this architectural style before!”
Neither ancient times nor before ancient times.
To be precise, they were not built by humans at all. Those huge gates in the shape of an inverted triangle, made of huge green rocks, were at least three to five feet wide, so how could they be created by humans.
"Is it the civilization of other living beings?" Lu Zhong looked strange.
This was slightly inconsistent with the world of immortality in his impression.
Suppressing his thoughts, Lu Zhong saw an unfamiliar "civilization". To be cautious, Lu Zhong did not put himself in danger, but released an avatar, preparing to control him for exploration.
The main body is suspended in the air and continues to maintain the existence of light.
By the way, it also restores mana to deal with possible threats.
As for the incarnation, since his cultivation was only in the late stage of Qi refining, he could only hold the Fire Crow Sword and use the "Light Body Technique" to slowly fall to the ground.
Wandering among these ruins, Lu Zhong felt as if he was in a kingdom of giants.
Huge stone pillars, huge stone streets, huge multi-story houses, huge hollow stone chairs... everything you can see is huge and outrageous.
Everything you see shows that a civilization did exist here.
It's just that it was so long ago that everything was wiped out by time, and in the end only a piece of rocky ruins remained, telling future generations about the past.
Unknowingly, Lu Zhong came to a huge palace.
Seeing this huge palace, he couldn't help but be startled, because on the closed door of the palace, images of strange beasts were engraved, lifelike, as if they could jump out at the next moment.
Not only that, other parts of the palace gate also describe the abilities of strange beasts.
Whether it is a withered and yellow form, a phantom body that is fake or real, or a ripple with unparalleled power, all are clearly described in the form of images.
It is worth mentioning that Lu Zhong also saw a group of strange little people kneeling at the corner. Their shape was like an inverted triangle, and their appearance had no resemblance to the human form. Combined with the surrounding scenes, it was obvious that they were performing sacrifices, and
The object is the strange beast he is looking for. If nothing else, these little sacrificial figures should be indigenous to this place, but they disappeared without a trace for some unknown reason.
He moved his gaze to the lower right corner of the palace door, where there was a small smooth gap.
"Come from here?"
Lu Zhong returned his consciousness to his own body. After reviewing the scene, and after consuming his half-consciousness, he finally confirmed his guess.
Just three years ago, the strange beast came out of here, and later began to wander around the underground world until it was discovered by the Western Alliance.
"It seems that if you want to know the answer, you have to go in once."
After thinking about it, Lu Zhong released another incarnation.
But this time, no magic weapon was given to him. He just used the spiritual sword technique casually and condensed nine spiritual swords for self-protection.
The incarnation performed the light body technique and landed on the ground, and then tried to push open the palace door.
Unexpectedly, the palace door opened immediately.
Immediately afterwards, a black mist surged out from behind the door.
The incarnation will be swallowed up in an instant.
The black fog comes and goes away just as quickly.
When everything calmed down, the incarnation was gone.
High in the sky, Lu Zhong already had a look of surprise on his face.
Just now, the moment the avatar was swallowed up by the black mist, contact with him was completely lost. But what is very strange is that at the same time, it can be clearly sensed that this avatar has not died, and is still alive and well, but I don't know
Where was it sent.
Switch to another avatar's perspective.
Lu Zhong, who took over, was surprised to find that after the mysterious black fog dissipated, the scene in the palace was immediately revealed. To everyone's surprise, it was empty inside.
And right at the deepest point, a figure stood impressively.
It is the incarnation that disappeared just now.
At this time, he slowly turned around, and a golden mask appeared on his face at some point. His eyes were emotionless, and he was looking up and down at Lu Zhong, who looked wary.
After a long while, a hoarse voice sounded out in a strange sequence.
"I didn't expect that I would be replaced by you in the future!"
"What do you mean by this?" Lu Zhong asked calmly.
"Speak simply, just a little..." When the controlled incarnation heard Lu Zhong's words, he exhaled inexplicably, as if he had been thinking for a while before interpreting the sentence into words.
When Lu Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but thought:
This control incarnation thing doesn't seem very smart.
Judging from his observations, the reason why the avatar was controlled was because of the golden mask.
I don’t know what kind of material this thing is made of, but a powerful spiritual energy wave is escaping from it. For a creation that has probably existed for millions of years, the spiritual energy wave above is contrary to common sense.
If you insist on explaining it, you can only say that it is a spiritual treasure.
In Lu Zhong's understanding, there are only spiritual treasures that can spontaneously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even the vitality of heaven and earth, to replenish one's own consumption.
Thus achieving immortality for thousands of years.
As for the origin of Lingbao, it is easy to explain.
Lingbao Tiancheng.
It is not impossible for the innate spiritual treasure to be born underground.
And this golden mask, which is suspected to be a spiritual treasure, is made of the condensation of "Wutu Qi" at a glance, which is consistent with the characteristics of appearing deep underground.
Be patient and communicate with it. To be precise, it should be "her".
According to the other party's self-description, she was the last individual of civilization, and she was preserved because her consciousness was lodged in an "artifact". And the artifact she mentioned was naturally referring to the golden mask.
After hearing this, Lu Zhong became more and more sure of his guess.
At the same time, he looked at the other party without leaving any trace, and another guess emerged in his mind, and he thought to himself: "Could she...become the weapon spirit of the Lingbao?"
Spiritual treasures are inherently immortal, and if they become the weapon spirit within them, they will naturally last for a long time.
What a coincidence among coincidences!
A series of accidents allowed this ancient life to survive.
Lu Zhong further speculated and felt that it was most likely related to her race.
After all, some immortal cultivators who seek immortality have tried to use immortal spiritual treasures to achieve "immortality" in an alternative sense. However, these crazy plans, without exception, all come at the expense of the spiritual treasures being destroyed.
All failed.
"Interesting!" Lu Zhong couldn't help but think.
If I start from this point and study the ethnic characteristics of this weapon spirit, can I find an alternative means of immortality?
For example, she can gain eternal life with the help of spiritual treasures!
Compared with the elusive and unattainable method of ascending to immortality, which has many obstacles and difficulties, it is obviously easier to achieve this alternative method of immortality.
Obviously, this idea is quite tempting.
So much so that he, who had always been mentally resolute, couldn't help but breathe harder at this moment.
After some communication, Lu Zhong discovered through some details, such as the metamorphic changes of rocks, that she existed even longer than he thought. Where is the ancient times millions of years ago, I am afraid that she can trace back to the witches
Before the Tao was revealed, it was not impossible.
Good guy!
There were waves in Lu Zhong's heart.
This undoubtedly shows that the human race is not the first civilization in this world!
"It's getting more and more interesting!" he thought to himself.
If we continue to delve deeper into this, combined with the fact that immortality is a foreign thing, and the immortals described in the classics as being the same as the human race, wouldn't it mean that the human race is not native to this world.
In other words, the human race in this world are the descendants of the "colonists". I don't know what kind of disturbance this statement will cause in the world of immortality.
But soon, Lu Zhong extinguished his divergent thoughts one by one.
He has no interest in archeology.
Compared with these historical secrets, as an immortal monk, he was still more interested in the golden mask that was suspected to be a spiritual treasure.
