Over the small pond in the forest, a thunderball suddenly flashed.
Electric light shot out randomly, and the thunderball rapidly expanded from the size of a soybean to about ten feet, and soon stretched into a gap, from which a figure fell straight into the pool.
"Plop!"
Suddenly there was a big splash of water.
Then, streams of colorful spiritual energy spread out from the bottom of the pool, making the pool water completely no longer ordinary at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Benefiting from this, even a small shrimp in the pond changes rapidly.
Grow, become bigger, demonize!
Then, in order to monopolize the treasure land, they began to devour each other.
But before the final winner could be decided, some monks noticed the strange phenomenon of spiritual energy rising into the sky and came over. After they killed all the demonized fish and shrimps, they all showed shocked expressions when they saw this pool of spiritual water.
"A pool of spiritual water, a pool of fourth-level spiritual water!"
"Hiss, there is so much spiritual water, and the spiritual energy lasts for a long time, how many spiritual stones is it worth!"
Some people couldn't help shouting.
You must know that the monk with the highest cultivation level present is only Master Jiedan. If a pool of spiritual water like this could be sold entirely, Jieying's resources would be enough.
When the other monks heard this, they couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Just when everyone was thinking about what kind of bright future they would have after acquiring a large amount of spiritual stones, a pressure suddenly came from the pond, freezing everyone's thinking.
Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly rose.
He was a young man with dark hair and black clothes. At first glance, he looked like he was only in his twenties, but no one at the scene dared to think so.
Lu Zhong looked at the people in front of him, looking at their unfamiliar clothes, and then remembered that after he escaped from the evil pursuit, he continued to travel tens of millions of miles in the Fengyuan Realm to be cautious and save his life.
"Who can tell me where this is?"
Seeing that everyone was trembling and trembling, Lu Zhong frowned slightly.
However, he was too lazy to embarrass these people, so he chose the one with the highest cultivation level among them, an old man with white beard wearing red clothes, who was currently in the late stage of pill formation, and said softly:
"You, you come."
"Back, back, back, senior..." The white-bearded old man stuttered for a while, unable to finish his sentence.
It's not that his character is bad, it's that the cultivation level of the person in front of him is really astonishing.
Nascent Soul? Transformation into God?
Or...refining the void?
Seeing this, Lu Zhong had no choice but to cast an Ice Heart Technique to calm his mind. After this, although the white-bearded old man's legs were still trembling, he could finally speak fluently.
"Back to senior, this is the molten iron domain."
"oh?"
Lu Zhonglue recalled what kind of place this was.
If we talk about where in the Fengyuan Realm has the most weapon refining power and the most powerful spiritual treasures, it is naturally the Molten Iron Domain. Benefiting from the unique geographical environment, high-quality spiritual flames can be seen everywhere in the Molten Iron Domain.
It's a good place for refining weapons.
In addition, the fire in this area is raging and raging, and it continues for years.
Every time the earth fire erupts, a large amount of ore will be brought in, and the extraordinary and top-grade materials are enough to be used to refine magic weapons and even further spiritual treasures.
It is precisely because of this that the Molten Iron Domain has become the forging center of the Feng Yuan Realm.
According to the Tuhuang Palace newspaper that Lu Zhong read, even using conservative estimates, at least 30% of the magic weapons in Fengyuan Realm are produced here.
This shows the huge production capacity of the iron-melting domain and the exquisite technology of the smelting.
With a slight nod, Lu Zhonghuahong left.
It wasn't until he was completely gone and no more breath could be sensed that the others let out a big sigh of relief. Anyone who had felt the astonishing pressure just now knew that this young man was by no means an ordinary monk.
But what made them happy was that the other party didn't even look at the pool of spiritual water.
It's like a gift.
...
After confirming the location, Lu Zhong went straight to Baiforging City.
As the smelting center of the Fengyuan Realm, the natural scale of Baidu City is extremely large. The inner city, outer city, satellite city, and various vassal cities combined are almost equivalent to the area of a small domain.
All kinds of rare weapon refining materials are available here.
In addition, from time to time, some wild materials leak out here, which makes this place even more popular.
Here, Lu Zhong finally saw what it means:
The Nascent Soul is not as good as a dog, it can travel everywhere as a spirit!
Even monks with a high level of cultivation are not uncommon here. They can be encountered from time to time, and they often appear in groups of three or five.
Occasionally, I can still detect a faint sense of coercion coming from various places in the city.
That is the existence of the integration stage!
"What a prosperous fairy city!"
After Lu Zhong entered the city, he boarded a gorgeous beast carriage and soon arrived at the central business district. Looking at the endless streets in front of him and the crowds of people, he felt these emotions from the bottom of his heart.
Considering that repairing the fairy machine is not an easy task.
Leaking information hastily without inquiring can even lead to fatal consequences.
In view of the above two points, he decided to find a place to live in Baidu City first. Firstly, it would provide a quiet training environment. Secondly, it would be convenient for him to make friends with the monks and inquire about information.
Then he looked left and right.
At this time, Lu Zhong's eyes lit up and he happened to see a "housekeeping" shop. He thought it was related to the rental cave, so he walked through the crowd and walked in.
It's not big inside, but it's well decorated and tasteful.
"Senior, what do you need?"
Seeing that Lu Zhong had an extraordinary temperament and seemed to have unfathomable cultivation, the shopkeeper here signaled the waiter to step back, and he came forward with a smile on his face.
At the same time, he was also secretly frightened.
I had spent a lot of money to have the "spiritual detection array" set up by an expert, but it didn't work at this moment. This shows that the person in front of me is at least in the stage of becoming a god.
Otherwise, the spirit detection array will never be ineffective.
Regarding the grade of the leased cave, Lu Zhong did not have the slightest hope.
When he reaches this level, all the caves he needs are treasures, and most of them already have owners, and may not be available within three to five hundred years.
Besides, Lu Zhong doesn't need such a high-level cave.
There is enough Tianyuan, and there is a stable source of wealth such as mountains, rivers, caves and heaven.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He can continue to take pills and practice.
So, Lu Zhong then asked:
"Is there a cave or dojo with more spiritual energy?"
"Cave? Dojo? Can these two things be connected?" The shopkeeper was a little confused at first, but he quickly realized that he knew that big business was coming.
After all, there are no ordinary people who can regard the two as the same.
"Yes, yes, of course!"
What he said was not a boast.
The family has made a living by running the house for several generations. Over time, they can accumulate a lot of relationships and connections, and naturally there will be a lot of information about high-end caves and dojos.
No matter how difficult it is, you can also exchange money with your peers.
"Oh, then it looks like I'm in the right place."
Lu Zhong smiled lightly and said in a calm tone.
"I dare not say anything else. In terms of being well-informed, this junior is still quite capable. I would like to ask senior to wait here for a moment, and I will come back when I go." The shopkeeper said respectfully, and he led Lu Zhong to the teahouse.
, then ordered a waiter to serve tea to the distinguished guests, and then hurried into the back hall.
Lu Zhong was not in a hurry and began to taste the tea slowly.
Astringent, slightly sweet.
The taste is average, but it can be swallowed.
Paired with carefully made pastries, the combination of the two has a unique flavor.
After a while, the shopkeeper came back with two volumes of atlases, one yellow and one gold. The latter was obviously much thinner than the former. Then he put the albums on the table.
Then he stood aside with his hands tied respectfully.
"Senior, these are what you need."
Lu Zhong nodded slightly, first picked up the yellow album, and unfolded it with a slight pull. With just a glance, he could see all the contents of the album, but it was a map of the spiritual veins of Hundred Forging City.
There are many partial defects on it, but they are all details of the core or side branches of the spiritual veins, and are not serious.
After looking carefully, Lu Zhong didn't find anything satisfactory.
Just as he was about to choose a place at random, he caught the golden picture scroll from the corner of his eye.
He stretched out his hand to take it in front of him and unfolded it.
The content presented in front of Lu Zhong was completely different from before. All those recorded in the golden album were dojos, or spiritual places, and they were all of high quality.
There is even a spiritual place suitable for monks to retreat.
Another thing is that there is no rent.
Is there such a good thing in the world?
Even if it is a sixth-level spiritual land, the price is the same as that of the fifth-level cave in the yellow scroll, only less than one-tenth of the normal price.
"What is this?" Lu Zhong cast a questioning look at the shopkeeper.
"Senior, these are spiritual lands specially released by Tiangongyuan, specially prepared for those powerful monks, so the prices are extremely low. If you want to obtain these spiritual lands, you must defeat all competitors in the same period. If you can become the final
The winner will get five hundred years of residency."
After hearing this, Lu Zhong looked thoughtful.
What he cares about is not the free spiritual land, but that these spiritual lands are provided by Tiangongyuan.
The so-called "Tiangongyuan" is actually a guild of weapon refiners.
This guild almost controls the Molten Iron Domain, but it is not the hegemon of a domain in the usual sense. After all, the internal members are extremely loose. It seems more appropriate to describe it as a group to keep warm.
"By releasing so many spiritual lands for free, I'm afraid Tiangongyuan is deliberately trying to make friends with the monks who won the spiritual lands."
"If I can win one, it may be helpful in restoring the Shocking Bell." Thinking of this, Lu Zhong felt more and more likely that it was possible, and he couldn't help but want to participate in the competition.
At this time, the shopkeeper saw Lu Zhong looking at the golden scroll without saying a word for a long time, so he took the initiative and said:
"Senior, if you need it, I can sign up for you. Regarding the qualifications for the battle for the spiritual land, there are many twists and turns, and each time it becomes more complicated. It is very difficult for a layman to pass without running around for years.
"
"Oh? There is such a thing?" Lu Zhong heard the shopkeeper's words and said with a smile: "But since you are the housekeeper and I have not rented your house, why are you so proactive?"
"Well..." the shopkeeper smiled sheepishly and explained: "This appointment can be regarded as a recommendation. If the senior can really show his power and successfully capture a spiritual land, he will become the new leader of Lingque Mountain.
Master, this junior will be able to get a lot of benefits from Tiangongyuan, and it can be regarded as having benefited from you, senior."
"That's it." Lu Zhong said with a smile.
Then, he carefully selected a spiritual place.
It is called "Lingque Mountain" and belongs to the sixth level of spiritual veins, but it is not considered top-notch.
Among the sixth-level spiritual lands, Lingque Mountain ranks in the middle and lower reaches, and there is a competition restriction, that is, only monks in the Void Refining Stage can participate in the competition.
In this way, you can prevent encounters with late-stage cultivators, thereby maximizing your chances of winning.
"Okay! Senior, please wait for the good news. In about half a year, you will receive the news that the registration has been approved. By then, the battle for the spiritual land will be held. You can go directly to Lingque Mountain to participate." After the shopkeeper confirmed it, he did not forget it.
In order to reveal the necessary information, it can also be regarded as gaining the favor of this senior.
"Then it will be hard work."
Lu Zhong slightly cupped his hands to express his gratitude.
Then I had a casual chat with the shopkeeper, and he gleaned a lot of information.
But it's about elixirs.
It turns out that this Baidu City specialty is a treasure pill called "Fire Spirit Pill".
It is to collect the essence of hundreds of fires, temper it into a wisp of fire spirit crystal with secret methods, and then add it to the most refined and pure Xuanyin spiritual liquid for training. It will take more than a hundred years to wash away the lead and it will be refined.
It is said that this elixir has the effect of purifying the soul.
It was naturally impossible for Lu Zhong not to be tempted by such a treasure. After some inquiring, he found out that it would appear at the Baidu City auction.
Suddenly there was one more target.
Seeing that it was late, Lu Zhong declined the shopkeeper's banquet and agreed to visit at the end of the month before getting up and leaving. The moonlight was thick outside at the moment, which was the best time for the city that never sleeps.
Stepping onto the road illuminated by the spiritual lamp, he saw that there was still plenty of time.
So I wandered around the bustling streets for a while, enjoying the delicious food from other places. After satisfying my appetite, I found an inn to rest.
...
Time flies like an arrow, half a year passes in the blink of an eye.
According to the previous agreement, Lu Zhong came to the housekeeping office.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got close to a hundred feet away, he felt a feminine aura, coming from a woman in red with a pale complexion at the middle stage of refining the void.
"Trouble is coming."
Lu Zhong knew what happened as soon as he saw it.
He had expected this.
The importance of the four of them, the Wealth Couple's Dharma Land, is almost the same. Now it's a matter of competition for the Cultivation Spirit Land. It's not unusual for someone to find another way to deal with the opponent in order to increase the success rate of winning.
Lu Zhong did not avoid it and walked over with a relaxed expression.
It's just the middle stage of refining the void.
As soon as he entered the store, he saw the shopkeeper and the waiter standing aside, shaking like a sieve. The female nun in red who was sitting on the chair in the hall immediately turned her eyes over and looked at Lu Zhong carefully up and down.
After realizing that Lu Zhong, like herself, was in the middle stage of refining the void, her expression became much calmer.
"Do you want to compete for Lingque Mountain?"
"Why, Taoist friend also likes this place?" Lu Zhong replied calmly.
"Hmph! I, Che Yuyi, am the current owner of Lingque Mountain. How can I tell you what I said before? To be honest, there are only six monks who signed up to compete for Lingque Mountain this time, and one of them is me, and the other four are
People retreat after knowing the difficulties. If you are wise, you'd better give up! Otherwise, there will be no point in fighting..."
The words of the woman in red were full of threats.
Lu Zhong remained calm and didn't take it seriously.
He has never taken the initiative to make grudges with others, but he is also not afraid of avoiding things. Since the other party is sending it now, and it is related to the restoration of the Shocking Bell, he should respond well.
Fighting without eyes?
"I want to see what kind of eyeless method it is!"
