"I didn't expect that the problem I had been worried about would be solved like this."
Lu Zhong walked out of Jinyang Pavilion, still feeling that everything was a bit unreal. After completing the transaction, Yun Nu acted as a mediator as promised and solved Niu Zhen's trouble for him.
Although this can only guarantee that Niu Zhen will not be able to take action for a period of time.
But I have to say that it still helped him a lot.
Only after getting to know it did I know that the process of using the Tiangong Order is not simple, and it also requires the consent of the elders. And once Niu Zhen interferes with it, it will naturally be impossible to forge the divine spirit treasure.
"The next step is to wait for Tiangongyuan to be ready..."
This takes a while.
The time was not short, and Lu Zhong was ready to spend time in seclusion.
...
Spring goes and spring comes again.
Time began to pass quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Zhong had been in seclusion in Lingque Mountain for a hundred years.
During this period of time, in addition to refining Tian Yuan every day to promote the growth of his cultivation, he also never stopped practicing the Spirit Tempering Yaosheng method. He tempered his body with spiritual liquid day and night, and never stopped.
Thanks to this, the progress is very gratifying.
First of all, in terms of cultivation, there has been a very obvious improvement compared to before the retreat.
Although his current cultivation level is still in the middle stage of Void Refining, the progress has reached 10%. As long as he maintains the current speed and with the help of the Tian Yuan transformed from Fang Yi Bottle, it will not be a problem to break through to the late stage of Void Refining within a thousand years.
As for the Spirit Tempering Yaosheng method, the progress is even more gratifying.
The second level of skills is no longer divided into skin quenching, bone quenching and blood quenching, but focuses on overall strengthening, just like alchemy, allowing the body to transform again like raw materials.
And Lu Zhong happened to be an alchemist.
Naturally, he has great experience in how to "make elixirs".
With the additional bonus, the progress of the Tempering Spirit Yao Ascension Technique is naturally extremely rapid.
"According to the current progress, I'm afraid I can complete the transformation of my body within five hundred years." Lu Zhong thought silently.
By then, his physical fitness will once again be comparable to that of a mysterious cultivator at the same level.
For a monk who is more inclined to practice law, this is already an incredible achievement.
Although it is good to practice both body and mind, it has always been a beautiful but unrealistic fantasy. The further you go in practice, the more you have to specialize in one, and the result of distraction can only be to achieve nothing.
Especially monks like Lu Zhong, whose cultivation is still in the advanced stage.
Being able to do this is definitely rare.
However, Lu Zhong was not proud of this.
Given the size of the Linghuan world, there are definitely beings whose strength far exceeds his.
Being low-key and humble is the long-term solution.
...
After leaving the customs, Lu Zhong made a special trip to Baidu City.
Compared with a hundred years ago, with the strong support of the Tu Palace, the Hundred Forging City today has a completely new look. Not only is the scale of city construction far greater than before, but even its popularity has long been restored to its original state.
Nowadays, there is a faint momentum for transcendence.
Outside the city, countless blacksmithing workshops operate day and night, devouring all the spiritual materials brought in, and then turning them into pieces of magical weapons, magic weapons, and even spiritual treasures, which are then continuously transported away.
It is conceivable that countless monks must be armed for this.
Behind such crazy military expansion is to fight against the rising momentum of evil invasion.
"It's strange. Logically speaking, if Tiangongye Realm wins the first battle, the welcoming bell should have rung long ago, but why is it that after a hundred years, there is still no sign of it."
Lu Zhong was very puzzled by this.
But those who plan these things are old monsters like Yue Yinzi, who have lived for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. In comparison, when it comes to planning, he is as immature as a newborn baby.
"Perhaps there is some key information in it that I don't know yet."
Lu Zhong thought for a while and came to this conclusion.
Soon, he came to the front of Tiangongyuan.
This is a complex of buildings that stretches for more than ten miles, located behind the rebuilt Molten Square and the Molten Fire Temple.
From the outside, the buildings here are not very luxurious, but only monks who are skilled in weapon refining can see that almost all the buildings inside are works of dazzling skill, and each piece is made using different weapon refining techniques.
It is simple and unpretentious, and the truth is revealed clearly.
For the weapon refiner, this place is definitely a holy land.
Even though Lu Zhong was not proficient in weapon refining, he gained a lot of weapon refining knowledge after meeting him. If he studies it later, his future skills in weapon refining will be greatly improved.
But naturally he didn't come here today to learn how to refine weapons.
According to the previous agreement, after a hundred years of preparation, Tiangongyuan should have prepared the materials, and it is time to cast the spiritual treasure for him.
Under the guidance of the maid, Lu Zhong was quickly taken to a side hall.
He was the only one in the palace.
"Hope everything goes well."
He thought silently, picked up the spiritual tea handed to him by the maid, and tasted it slowly.
The aroma of tea is strong and assails your nose, without any hint of elegance. It carries a very strong fire spirit. Drinking it is just like swallowing fire spirit liquid. However, for a monk like Lu Zhong, who is in the Void Refining Stage, it has a different flavor.
After sipping tea for a while, footsteps soon came from outside the hall.
The person who came was a big man with his bare chest and breasts exposed. He looked bohemian and somewhat distracting.
As for his cultivation, he is head and shoulders above Lu Zhong, and he is already in the advanced stage of cultivation.
Lu Zhonglue sensed that this person's foundation was extremely solid, and his aura was even more integrated. If he had guessed correctly, he should have relied on Tianyuan cultivation, and was not comparable to those trickster monks.
"Is this Fellow Taoist Chen Xia Chen?"
The visitor laughed, raised his hand and said.
"That's right." Lu Zhong replied.
"Since you are Fellow Daoist Chen, please come with me. This time the refining of the Soul Spirit Treasure was done by my master Feng Yannian, and I am her first disciple. You can call me Liu Wu."
.”
The big man named Liu Wu said quite casually.
"I don't dare. I'd like to thank fellow Daoist Liu to lead the way."
Lu Zhong did not make excuses and responded politely.
Seeing this, Liu Wu still just smiled.
Under his leadership, the two quickly passed through long corridors, countless doors, and passed through heavy guards. After a series of verifications, they stopped in front of a teleportation array.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The teleportation distance this time is a bit far due to the special destination. Even for monks like us who are in the realm of refining the void, if our bodies have not been trained,
, it’s also hard to swallow.”
Liu Wu said, handed out a yellow talisman, turned around and said:
"This is the Great Teleportation Talisman. Fellow Daoist Chen, please keep it close to your body."
"Thank you."
Lu Zhong thanked him and took it, without showing off the fact that he was successful in training.
Then activate it and wear it.
Immediately afterwards, the two stepped onto the teleportation array.
I felt like the world was spinning for a while, and I arrived at my destination in an instant.
The speed was much faster than Lu Zhong imagined.
Looking at the blazing white sea of fire in front of him, as well as the large and small overlapping buildings and palaces that appeared and disappeared in the flames, he found that he could not recognize what kind of place he had come to.
As if he guessed what he was thinking, Liu Wu next to him laughed.
"The appearance of Fellow Daoist Chen is very similar to that of me back then. When I first came here, my expression was just as wonderful, but this is also very normal. After all, what you and I are in now is a world opened up in the virtual world.
The Forging Immortal Workshop is a great legacy left over from the Taoist Alliance in the past."
"Forging the Immortal Workshop? Could it be said that the Immortal Machine can be forged here?" Lu Zhong said in surprise.
"Immortal Ji, it seems that Fellow Daoist Chen knows a lot." When Liu Wu heard this, he looked at Lu Zhong with a slightly different look, but he still shook his head and said, "If the Taoist alliance had not collapsed, many heavenly craftsmen were gathering together.
Under such circumstances, there are indeed many possibilities for forging the original embryo of the immortal treasure, which is what fellow Taoists call the immortal machine."
"According to records, in the past, every piece of fairy machine was produced in this kind of forging fairy workshop like an assembly line."
"But now, the grand occasion is long gone... Without the support provided by the Dao Alliance and the supply of precious materials, although this fairy workshop is currently intact, it can only waste its other advantages.
Just use the fact that he is in the virtual world to cast the treasure of the soul."
As soon as he said this, Liu Wu sighed repeatedly.
For a refining master, there is only one place for refining the best treasures, but he cannot use it to refine the best treasures.
How heartbreaking this is!
Unfortunately, this is the reality.
"Let's go, don't keep my teacher and the others waiting."
Liu Wu stepped forward again and greeted Lu Zhong behind him.
Mr. Lu nodded and followed quickly.
Walking off the teleportation platform, in front of you is an illusory road of flames, ten feet wide. You can see a series of mixed figures, rising and falling in the sea of flames below.
Perhaps when they sensed a living being approaching, these miscellaneous elements that were originally sleeping woke up one after another.
Some bared their teeth and claws, or suddenly appeared forward.
But as soon as they made a move, a chain of golden light appeared out of thin air, arresting and locking them all.
Before the miscellaneous element could cry out, it had already been broken into pieces.
Most of the fragments were reduced and decomposed into information residue on the spot and fell back into the sea of fire below. After being reorganized and integrated in the future, they will become new debris.
And a small part of them became something familiar to Lu Zhong.
It’s Tianyuan!
"Every time I see this scene, I will marvel at the astonishing power of the Dao Alliance. They built this Immortal Workshop and other magnificent buildings, and forged countless immortal machines. They once completely ruled the entire Linghuan world.
"Liu Wu witnessed this scene, with a rather emotional expression on his face, and said this in a puzzled tone.
Once upon a time, when the Taoist League issued an order, no one dared not to follow it.
"But such a big force disappeared completely overnight, leaving only these heavenly creations, but no blood stains on half of the corpses. Why do you think it is, Fellow Daoist Chen?"
Hearing Liu Wu's question, Lu Zhong was silent for a while before answering:
"Perhaps they went elsewhere."
"Go somewhere else? I have asked so many people, and this is the first time I have heard an answer like this from fellow Taoist. But when I think about it carefully, it seems to make some sense."
After hearing this, Liu Wu was thoughtful and didn't think it was absurd. Then he cast his gaze far into the depths of the virtual world, where a man murmured to himself:
"If this conjecture is true, then that's the only place where Dao League monks may go, right?"
The legendary fairy world is the place that immortal cultivators look forward to.
But, is this really possible?
Regarding this, not only Liu Wu was suspicious, but even Lu Zhong couldn't believe it.
But no matter what, the sudden disappearance of the Dao League has become an unsolved mystery.
Lu Zhong felt in his heart that maybe existences like Yue Yinzi could know more about this, but they might also know nothing, otherwise they would not be caught off guard, and the situation in the Linghuan world would not collapse like this.
.
Follow the road of flames and pass through many illusory palaces.
Soon, the two of them stopped in front of a huge furnace.
When we got here, two roads branched off, the left and right.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, let's separate here. You go up the road on the left. When you get inside, Master will give you instructions on how to do it. The birth of the soul soul treasure has a lot of risks. I hope you will be safe and smooth, fellow Taoist."
Before leaving, Liu Wu did not forget to warn him.
But he didn't know that Lu Zhong already knew all this information.
In the Taiyin Immortal Sutra, there is a detailed and thoughtful description of how to refine the spirit treasure.
Its birth process can be divided into "three passes and five tribulations".
They are the "Enter Soul Pass", "Condensation Pass" and "Fusion Pass", which are the three major risks that monks need to bear in the process of injecting divine soul into the spiritual treasure, and each pass is more dangerous than the last.
In addition, there are five calamities.
Specifically, it has to encounter five invasions of impurities. Only their huge information can be used as nourishment and ignited with raging flames to truly forge the spiritual treasure.
Lu Zhong was already aware of these disasters.
This is something that a cultivator will have to experience sooner or later.
If you don't have the Soul Spirit Treasure, it's like a monk in the Qi Refining Stage who doesn't have the Foundation Establishment Pill. Even though there is a chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the chance is slim.
Without the assistance of the Soul Spirit Treasure, if a Void Refining Monk wants to break through to the Fusion Stage, the price he has to pay will be a thousand or even ten thousand times more difficult than breaking through to the Foundation Building Stage with his own strength.
The odds are slim.
Originally, this divine treasure required him to collect the materials step by step for thousands of years, and then go through tribulations bit by bit before he could refine it with great difficulty.
Now it's a trick.
Then the two of them separated, and Lu Zhong followed the road on the left and climbed to the top of the furnace step by step.
There, nine figures were sitting cross-legged.
Everyone has cultivated in the Void Refining Period.
And among the nine people, there was a white-haired female cultivator sitting cross-legged.
If there is no accident, this person is the master mentioned by Liu Wu, the elder of Tiangong dean named Feng Yannian.
As if aware of Lu Zhong's arrival, the female cultivator's slender eyes, which were originally closed, slightly opened a gap. After confirming the identity of the visitor, they slowly closed them.
"Here we come, let's go into the furnace."
"As Chief Taiyin, I think you should also clearly understand the basic process."
"Do you still need me to explain something?"
Hearing this, Lu Zhong's heart stirred up waves, and he couldn't help but thought to himself:
"She actually called me Chief Taiyin?"
"Doesn't this mean that Yue Yinzi has recognized my identity?"
"this......"
Many thoughts and speculations quickly flashed through Lu Zhong's mind, and he even thought that Yun Nu's appearance might not be accidental.
No wonder the mediation went so smoothly!
But in the end, he bowed his hands respectfully to Feng Yannian, and after receiving a nod from the other party, he jumped down from the edge of the furnace and jumped into the heart of the furnace below.
