In Lu Zhong's sea of consciousness, the soul is shrouded in golden soft light, slowly transforming in a certain direction, shining brightly, giving people a feeling of vigorous growth.
"In the stage of refining the void, Tianyuan is indeed indispensable."
Lu Zhong thought to himself.
To be precise, the path to immortality cannot be without the assistance of Tianyuan.
If other methods are used to change the soul's path of transformation, future achievements may not be low, but one thing is certain, then the future will be unclear, just like all the evils now.
"But how difficult is it to obtain Tianyuan?"
Lu Zhong estimated that if he wanted to complete the Void Refining, he would still be short of a hundred parts based on the amount of Tian Yuan he obtained last time. This was still the most conservative estimate. If he wanted to make his future path to immortality smoother, he would need to add more.
Double it.
When he thought of this, he felt a lot of pressure in his heart.
"I hope I can get in touch with the Taoist Alliance to save me the pain of running around collecting."
...
The days passed day by day.
The storm outside Lanfeng City has been going through cycles of strength and decline for more than ten years.
Lu Zhong has been practicing in seclusion.
Refining Tianyuan helps the Yuanshen transform, thereby broadening the upper limit of the "bucket". When the mana is accumulated, the Yuanshen transforms one step further, and then can continue to accumulate mana.
This goes back and forth, never getting tired of it.
During this period, the incarnation's actions went very smoothly.
Most of the trials of Taoist monks end with success. If this continues, the final invitation should not be far away.
However, under the calmness, Lu Zhong also noticed an unusual aura.
Not for the incarnation.
He had already confirmed this by reviewing the scene.
The secret forces are targeting the Taoist monks themselves. There seems to be a conspiracy brewing at the moment. It is impossible to know what purpose they hold. This point cannot be traced back through the scene to get the desired answer.
In other words, there is, but the clues are vague and the valid information cannot be determined.
This strange situation made Lu Zhong think to himself:
"Perhaps, it is to guard against people like me. After all, whether it is the secret of mind reading, mysterious magical powers, or even some weird magic weapons, it can achieve similar effects of scene recall."
The only difference is that the effect cannot achieve the effect of scene retrieval, which is close to the effect of time retrieval.
Bring your thoughts back to the conspiracy.
Lu Zhong was wondering whether he could use this to further gain the trust of the Taoist monks.
Just as he was thinking about it, his expression changed slightly. However, he had just received a message in his incarnation. It was sent by the Dao Alliance monks on his own initiative, mentioning that they would meet in the city in three days.
Meeting address, Zhenfeng Terrace.
"Wind suppression tower?"
Lu Zhong remembered that this place was located in the center of Lanfeng City. It seemed to be the place where festival celebrations were held, but in fact, the core of Lanfeng City's formation was located underneath. However, the latter was usually heavily guarded and difficult for ordinary people to enter.
Of course, for the Void Refining monks, the guard is useless.
"What's the purpose of meeting in a place like this?"
Lu Zhong guessed several possibilities in an instant, but he couldn't be sure which one it was. However, no matter which possibility it was, risks and opportunities coexisted.
Considering the worst possibility, he was prepared to have some backup options.
...
Three days, but a blink of an eye.
This day in Lanfeng City happens to be the day when the wind-breathing season celebration is held.
There are no four seasons in the Mingfeng Domain, only two seasons: calm wind and strong wind, to distinguish the strength of the wind, and each season lasts for half a year, so the cycle changes.
For the creatures in the Mingfeng Territory, the wind-resting season is the season when all things revive.
The land in this area, after being ravaged by strong winds for half a year, not only did it not become barren, but it was filled with spiritual energy and transformed into something similar to spiritual soil, which was very suitable for growing crops.
No matter what you plant, you can get an excellent harvest.
Under this situation, Lu Zhong came to Zhenfeng Tower.
At this moment, the whole city of Lanfeng City was already immersed in a strong festive atmosphere.
Zhenfeng Tower is naturally no exception.
Everywhere you look, there are black heads looming over them.
Monk, everyone has it.
After finding a soup stall, Lu Zhong casually ordered a few bowls of Feng Lai.
In fact, it is the Mingfengyu version of "Wonton".
While eating, he used the scene to retrace his steps and began to pay attention to his surroundings, especially the place on the other side of the Wind Suppressing Platform where the incarnation was, which was the most important thing to observe.
The result was as expected, still nothing.
This situation has happened many times.
Lu Zhong was not surprised by this. If the Taoist monk dared to show up without some means, he would undoubtedly be seeking death when he attracted huge attention. It is perfectly normal to be hidden in the crowd and cannot be found.
The target we were looking for was not found, but the "rat" found several.
The origin is unknown, and in terms of cultivation, he is in the stage of becoming a god.
Obviously just a pawn.
These people had long since caught Lu Zhong's attention, and the black hands behind them were brewing some kind of conspiracy. He tried again to get information from them during scene retrieval, but still to no avail.
I have no choice but to give up.
The incarnation on the other side is also sitting in the stall at the moment.
The special environment of Mingfeng Domain has naturally created a unique food culture.
For example, the cup of "Zangfeng Drink" in front of you is quite special. It is made with honey and a variety of preserved fruits, plus rice wine to adjust the taste, and finally a Tibetan Wind Stone is thrown in, and you are done.
In terms of its taste, Lu Zhong thought it was like a sparkling drink.
One mouthful after another, slowly tasting the contents of the cup.
Suddenly, there was darkness ahead.
"I'm sorry, all the other seats are full. Do you mind if I sit here?" A young man with goggles on his forehead and a dusty appearance said with a smile.
"Please help yourself." Lu Zhong said softly.
Although he looked calm on the surface, his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.
coming!
The young man opposite was the Taoist monk he had been looking for.
Moreover, it was still in person.
Calmly, Lu Zhong looked at the other party.
At first glance, there is not much difference from the monks from Mingfeng Domain. They also habitually wear windproof goggles and wrap themselves up extremely tightly to prevent wind and sand from pouring in.
At the same time, the other party was also sizing up Lu Zhong.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that I could actually meet a practitioner of the 'external incarnation' method in the spiritual world!" The young man used his spiritual consciousness to transmit his voice, and his tone was full of surprise, "If I guessed correctly, you should be
A person who ascended from the lower world, right? Only in this way can we explain the origin of the magical power of incarnation outside the body."
"Fellow Taoist is really knowledgeable." Lu Zhong said lightly.
At this moment, he couldn't help but stir up trouble in his heart. Currently, he is the first monk who can tell the origin of the incarnation.
All I can say is, are you really worthy of being a Dao Alliance monk?
Seeing that Lu Zhong did not refute, the young man laughed and said, "It seems that I have really guessed it! Let me introduce myself, Ye Panyan, the deacon of the Tenth Cardinal College of the Linghuan Taoist Alliance, I wonder where you are from?"
"Chen Dong, a person who ascended from the lower world." Lu Zhong said matter-of-factly.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Chen, but... I remember that there is no Taoist alliance in the lower world. How do you know so much about our Taoist alliance?"
In this regard, Lu Zhong still answered truthfully.
The story about Xiaoling Huanjie will be told after a slight deletion.
After hearing this, Ye Panyan looked a little shocked and said with dull eyes: "What, you actually got an interview from senior Guan Daozi? Isn't Brother Chen joking?"
As a cardinal deacon of the Dao League, he is naturally aware of Guan Daozi's status.
Although Guan Daozi did not hold a position in the Taoist League and only had the status of an immortal envoy, he was still extremely noble in the Taoist League. Even the twelve cardinals who led the Taoist League were still slightly shorter than him.
For such a big shot, the most he could do was witness his true appearance from afar during the Millennium Immortal Festival.
As for the interview, Ye Panyan couldn't even think about it.
But according to Lu Zhong's description, the person in front of him was indeed received by senior Guan Daozi.
I am envious of you!
After tens of thousands of years of practicing Taoism, it was the first time that his mood fluctuated so violently.
Ye Panyan finally calmed down and corrected the topic, "The Taoist friends' purposes for meeting me are probably just a few. Although Panyan can't guarantee it, he is sure of achieving them."
Having said this, his face straightened and he said in a deep voice:
"In exchange, I want you to help me!"
"What to do?"
Lu Zhong was very curious.
Is it to seek peace in a secret place, to settle grudges, or...
When Ye Panyan revealed the terms of exchange, he realized that he had completely misunderstood. To be precise, he had been led to the wrong answer by his inertial thinking.
Lu Zhong looked strange and confirmed again:
"Are you sure you want me to help you complete this?"
"Of course!" Ye Panyan looked sure.
His condition is very simple, that is, let Lu Zhong help solve the problem. In order to capture him, other forces have set up large formation nodes throughout Lanfeng City to prevent the people of Lanfeng City from being killed or injured.
"Then what is the purpose of your appearance?" Lu Zhong asked puzzledly.
"Divert attention."
Ye Panyan did not give an answer to this, let alone what diverted his attention. Then he added: "As for meeting a fellow Taoist, it was purely an unexpected joy. From now on, as long as your demands are not too excessive, Panyan will
Salt can make it happen.”
So confident!
Lu Zhong thought so in his heart.
but......
Since we can achieve the purpose of this trip and save the people of Lanfeng City and become a Holy Mother, so what?
After Lu Zhong agreed to execute it, Ye Panyan began to tell the details and how the two of them would act separately. However, he did not know that the person opposite knew the location of the formation nodes better than he did.
After speaking, Ye Panyan looked at Lu Zhong and asked:
"What do you think of the plan?"
"No problem, it's just...some details may need to be changed."
Lu Zhong pointed out a few things that he thought were inappropriate.
These places seem to be fine on paper, but given the current situation, they are a bit out of place. If something unexpected happens, it could even cause trouble.
"It really needs to be changed, but I didn't think carefully..."
Ye Panyan held his chin and said, accepting Lu Zhong's point of view.
Seeing Lu Zhong's suspicious look, he explained: "The Tenth Cardinal College is more focused on academics, but in terms of practical matters, it is better than other Cardinal Colleges."
Once the plan is finalized, the next step is implementation.
According to the plan drawn up by the two, 18 nodes were to be destroyed respectively.
It is not difficult to implement.
The key is how to get out of trouble after it's done.
Considering this, Ye Panyan specifically reminded: "Fellow Taoist, although your art of external transformation is convenient, it is an exception at the moment. Among the monks, there are members of the Eye Mother who have joined. They are not good at fighting, but they are good at marking.
This technique, fellow Taoist, must be careful this time, once you are marked by it, your identity will be exposed."
"Why?" Lu Zhong asked in surprise.
"It's a matter of law that cannot be explained clearly in a few words." Ye Panyan shook his head and did not explain in detail. Instead, with a flash of light from his palm, he took out a golden jade slip and handed it to Lu Zhong.
"This is a paper that involves the specific research of Eye Mother. Fellow Taoists can read it carefully."
Essay? Am I hallucinating?
Lu Zhong suddenly realized that his understanding of the Taoist Alliance seemed to be a bit shallow. So far, he had only seen the branches and leaves. At the same time, he probably guessed what kind of existence the Tenth Cardinal Academy was.
I took the jade slip and read a huge amount of information.
What is recorded in it is not so much a paper as it is a detailed study by Taoist monks on the heretical inheritance of Eye Mother. To be precise, it should be an encyclopedia. The signature is "Lingsenzi", who is a
It took him 3,309 years and hard work to become a Mahayana monk.
Every word is pearly and well analyzed.
According to the paper, the Eye Mother, like most of the evils that form a climate, did not evolve from beings in the spiritual world, but was influenced by high-level forces.
When Lu Zhong read this, he felt that a door slowly opened in front of him.
This is knowledge related to the realm of true immortals!
"It seems that there is still a difference between all evils and all evils."
For example, although the Sons of Changchun are classified as evil in the eyes of immortals, they are actually an indigenous force in the Linghuan world. The mysterious Son of Changchun, the God, is probably an extremely powerful creature in the Linghuan world.
Evil beings like Eye Mother, who are influenced by high-level powers, are out-and-out foreign invaders.
Of course, immortality may be the same.
What Lu Zhong is more curious about is why so many high-level forces, each of them stronger than the Tribulation Stage, are trying so hard to rob the Linghuan Realm?
Obviously it can't be a boring move.
Putting the jade slip away, Lu Zhong was about to take the time to read it carefully. At this moment, he turned to Ye Panyan and held his hands in his hands. He chuckled and said, "Thank you fellow Taoist for reminding me. I have my own way to deal with the marking method."
"Okay, it won't be too late, let's take action immediately!"
Ye Panyan and Lu Zhong looked at each other and walked towards the east and west of the city respectively.
...
After they separated, Lu Zhong easily found the first node according to the planned route.
Located inside a cave.
There are monks specially stationed at this node, but they are all miscellaneous fish. Their highest cultivation level is only in the middle stage of divine transformation. The rest are obviously hired, ranging from Nascent Soul to Danjie, and there are even foundation-building monks participating from the periphery.
In just one hundred breaths, Lu Zhong solved everything.
This move is undoubtedly an attempt to alert the enemy.
Soon, starlight appeared on his body, which was even deeper than before.
The prying eyes from the dark were blocked by the magical power of shifting stars and changing battles.
Lu Zhong did not relax his vigilance about this. According to the article, if the Eye Mother's relatives pay a huge price, they can activate the power of the Eye Mother in the sky.
At that time, even if he is protected by magical powers, he will be penetrated and accurately positioned.
