When he came to a shop selling elixirs, Lu Zhong asked about Chongguan elixirs.
The so-called pass-through elixirs refer to pills that are one to two levels higher than the current level of cultivation. The purpose is to use the pure spiritual energy in the elixir to assist in pass-through.
Just like right now, he just wants to buy a bottle of Peiyuan Pill.
Peiyuan Pill is a pill that can increase cultivation level. It is suitable for cultivation in the middle stage of Qi Refining. After being taken by monks in the early stage of Qi Refining, there is a certain chance that they can break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.
"Do you still have Pei Yuan Dan? Give me a bottle."
Hearing this, the man in charge of reception in the store shook his head and replied: "It turns out to be Lu Daoyou, but it's a bad luck for you to come this time. Today happens to be a market day, so the inventory in the store has been sold out. It will take three days to restock."
How about you choose another elixir?"
Lu Zhong frowned slightly. If he wanted to assist in breaking through the barrier, Pei Yuan Dan, which had mild medicinal properties, was the best.
Other elixirs either have violent properties and it is difficult to control the dispersion of the medicinal power, or they contain less spiritual energy and are simply not enough to help break through the barrier.
"No, I just want the Peiyuan Pill."
He walked out of the store and asked two other elixir shops on the street. The answer he received was that Peiyuan Dan was sold out.
"I didn't expect that such a large Qingliufang could not even supply Peiyuan Pill in sufficient quantity." Lu Zhong finally saw another limitation of Qingliufang.
That's because the strength of the scattered cultivators living in the community is so low that higher-level items are difficult to find here.
After all, Qingliubo is still too small.
So much so that even slightly higher-level cultivation resources can be listed in the annual market auction.
If you stay in such a place for a long time, your cultivation speed will probably slow down.
"It seems that the plan to go to Yandang Shanfang City should be put back on the agenda."
With this thought in mind, he changed his focus and walked towards the restaurant, preparing to order a table of spiritual food.
Spiritual food can also help to pass the level, but the spiritual stones spent are much higher than taking pills. Lu Zhong was reluctant to buy it at first, but now he really has no choice, so he has to choose spiritual food.
A bowl of Yingcuiling rice worth fifteen spirit stones, a plate of steamed spirit fish worth thirty-six spirit stones, and a pot of aged Baihua spirit wine worth twenty-seven spirit stones. This is a standard meal of Chongguan spirit.
meal.
Although this meal was extremely painful to eat, I have to say that the food tasted really good.
Yingcuiling rice is fragrant, soft and chewy. Not only does it taste far better than Qinghe rice, but it also contains more than ten times more spiritual energy. The same goes for the carefully steamed spiritual fish, which is accompanied by various precious spices.
There is no fishy smell at all, but it has a refreshing fragrance that makes people unable to stop eating.
As for the spirit wine, even though it was only a small pot, it was probably only two taels.
But after Lu Zhong took a few sips, he felt a surge of drunkenness. He was so frightened that he hurriedly took a few more bites of food, and finally avoided the embarrassing scene of fainting.
In order to consume every ounce of spiritual energy, he wasted no time on the food and almost had to lick the plate clean.
When you are full of wine and food, even burping can spurt out spiritual energy.
"No, we can't waste the spiritual energy we eat."
Feeling that the spiritual power in his body was beginning to boil, Lu Zhong sat cross-legged and tried his best to run the Water and Wood Sword Technique, but he never thought that the effect of the spiritual food was surprisingly good. The bottleneck collapsed at the first touch, and the spiritual power in his body increased sharply again.
In this way, the fourth level of Qi refining will be considered a breakthrough.
After a stick of incense, he finally stabilized his cultivation. Sensing the endless flow of spiritual power in his body's Dantian, he looked slightly disappointed and said:
"Is this the strength of the fourth level of Qi refining?"
Compared with the third level of Qi refining, after breaking through to the fourth level of Qi refining, the spiritual power in the body has improved a lot, increasing by 60 to 70%.
Apart from that, there are no other big differences.
…
A few days later, while the ghost market was open, Lu Zhong sold all his belongings.
First, the foot-sized storage bag was sold for 105 spirit stones, and then the low-grade magic weapon flame gun was quickly sold to a passing monk for 118.
In this way, two hundred and twenty-three spiritual stones were entered into the account.
Counting the spiritual stones already on his body, the total number already exceeds three hundred.
Lu Zhong planned to save it for now, planning to change himself to a basic skill with special characteristics.
The reason for such a plan was because there was a problem with obtaining the Mizuki Sword Art.
Regarding this basic skill, he stopped by Wanfa Pavilion to ask, and the other party said that when Shufa Pavilion changed hands, this skill was not sold together, and it was most likely lost in the turmoil.
It was precisely because of this that he had the idea of changing the basic skills.
Returning to Ninghe Lane, Lu Zhong saw a familiar figure standing at the door of his house. It was Li Dong who had disappeared for a long time.
At this moment, his face was withered, he looked much older, and his temples were all white.
Seeing Lu Zhong, Li Dong's expression became excited, he raised his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Lu for breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Refining. The future is promising!"
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li. I wonder why you are looking for me?" Lu Zhong said lightly.
"I want to discuss a deal with you!" Li Dong hesitated for a while before speaking, glanced left and right, and asked, "I wonder if I can come into the house to talk?"
Lu Zhong thought about it and felt that it was necessary to listen, so he opened the courtyard door.
"come in."
The two of them were sitting across from each other in the living room. Lu Zhong didn't intend to make a pot of spiritual tea to entertain the guests. He said directly: "Just tell me if you have anything. I hope it will be a good deal."
Li Dong didn't take it seriously and talked about his purpose.
"Have you ever heard of the General's Tomb?"
Hearing this, Lu Zhong suddenly thought of the wilderness where ghost fires appeared, and subconsciously connected the two: "Could it be from the southern wilderness..."
"That's right! It's in the south." Li Dong glanced at Lu Zhong in surprise, and said with some admiration: "I didn't expect that you also know the location of the general's tomb. This tomb existed before the establishment of Qingliu Ruins. The specific origin is unknown. It was unknown before.
There were second-level zombies lurking in the tomb, but they were completely cleaned up later during the land reclamation at Qingyangmen."
"In that case, where is Fellow Daoist Li going and what is he doing?"
"Looking for a coffin fungus." Li Dong said, his expression darkening: "Unfortunately, the dog is seriously ill. The only way to survive is to take a tonic like coffin fungus."
Only then did Lu Zhong realize that the boy turned out to be of Li Dong's bloodline. No wonder the baby was so tight.
As for the coffin fungus, the only place where it could exist is probably the general's tomb.
"I see. It seems that the purpose of Fellow Daoist Li's trip is to let me go to the tomb with you to find the so-called coffin fungus. What conditions are you willing to give for this?"
Discussing matters as they are, he will not go deep into danger if there is no benefit.
In addition, you have to wait until you have inquired about the situation of the general's tomb before deciding whether to participate. You cannot just believe what Li Dong says, you still need to make your own personal judgment.
