Standing at the mountain gate, the cool night breeze blew slowly.
"This world is really becoming more and more incomprehensible to people."
I originally thought that either the immortal cultivator would ring the bell, causing the true immortal to come to the world and eradicate all evil, or it would be the other way around, and the immortal way would cease to exist.
But the final result was unexpected.
"Oh, what's the matter with this!"
Lu Zhong shook his head and turned back to the quiet room.
After I calm down and feel better, I can continue to take pills and practice.
Take them one after another.
A huge amount of spiritual energy was transformed into magic power through the body, and his cultivation level increased as a result. However, the extent was terrible, so after practicing for several years, he stopped practicing.
"It seems that it is urgent to obtain the elixir recipe."
Lu Zhong thought for a while and decided to go out.
As for the elixirs in the middle stage of refining the void, it is naturally extremely difficult to collect them.
But for him, no matter how difficult it is, it is better to settle for the second best, like ordinary Void Refining monks, who rely on absorbing Yuan Jing to improve their cultivation. Although the latter is easy to obtain, the price to pay is not small.
In essence, this method is to exchange time for cultivation.
At best, it will take at least three to five thousand years to break through a small realm.
It took such a long time, and Lu Zhong couldn't wait any longer.
Fortunately, there are quite a few opportunities right now.
At present, the war between immortal cultivators and evil spirits has come to an end for the time being. After practicing a lot and gaining free time, the demand for cultivation that was originally suppressed by the war has suddenly increased.
Recently, there have been many auctions and exchange meetings held in Baidu City.
Lu Zhong planned to try his luck.
If it really doesn't work, then look for another solution.
After making the decision, he immediately sent his avatar to Baidu City, where he stayed for less than half a year and participated in more than a dozen trade fairs, large and small, but achieved nothing.
Lu Zhong had already expected this.
The higher your cultivation level, the more precious the things you need.
He was prepared to wait a hundred years for this.
.......
While waiting for the news, Lu Zhong basically practiced in Lingque Mountain and rarely went out.
The years fly by like water.
Soon, news of a blockbuster auction came.
The reason why it is so important is that the standards of this auction are extremely high. Even the Void Refining Stage monks have just reached the threshold. It is said that not only the Fusion Stage monks will participate, but also a few of the Mahayana Stage will appear.
It is precisely because of this that a lot of good stuff will come out of the conference.
Just the information that the current incarnation has gathered is enough to reveal several things that Lu Zhong is interested in.
The date of the auction is one month later.
For this, he needs to make adequate preparations.
Just because the currency used in the auction is yuan crystal that is only circulated among high-level monks, Lu Zhong does not have much of this item in his hands, so he needs to find a way to exchange or convert it into a sufficient amount.
According to Lu Zhong's estimate of the price of the auction items, he would have to prepare a thousand yuan crystal at least.
Only in this way can you bid with confidence.
If you want to take pictures of other treasures besides Danfang, you need to prepare more Yuanjing.
"Even in normal times, if you want to exchange spiritual stones for Yuan Crystal, you will need at least 100 million low-grade spiritual stones. But now to exchange for one Yuan Crystal, you will only need more spiritual stones."
Lu Zhong was thinking in his heart about how to obtain the Yuan Jing.
Most of the time we can only rely on using Tian Yuan.
He possesses the Fang Yi Bottle and has the ability to walk in the virtual world. Both are channels to obtain Tian Yuan. The Tian Yuan, which is extremely precious to other Void Refining monks, is almost infinite to him, so even if he sells all the stocks, he will not be able to obtain Tian Yuan.
It will affect subsequent practice.
If a suitable elixir can be obtained, it doesn't matter if the transformation of the soul is slightly delayed.
"But how should we take action?"
Lu Zhong knew very well that holding a jade was a crime.
If you want to gather enough Yuan Crystals, the amount of Tian Yuan you need to take action will not be small. It will be an extremely eye-catching amount. No matter how careful and careful you are, it will definitely attract prying eyes.
After much deliberation, he decided to take action in batches.
This risk is relatively low.
...
In the following time, Lu Zhong kept changing his outfits and appeared at major auctions and swap meets.
At first, it went quite smoothly.
After selling off some of the Tian Yuan on hand in batches, I quickly collected a thousand Yuan Crystals.
But gradually, what Lu Zhong was worried about happened, and Shifting Star Changing Dou Shen Tong repeatedly warned, indicating that someone or powerful people had noticed the abnormal large amount of Tianyuan flowing out of the market.
In this regard, he had to postpone it for a while.
Instead, he turned his attention to the exchange of spiritual stones and Yuanjing. At the same time, he was also selling the pills on hand in batches, hoping to use the huge quantity to trade with the Void Refining Forces for more Yuanjing.
Although Lu Zhong did not expect the above two points, the results were not bad.
More than ten years have passed, and the number of Yuan Jing he has on hand has exceeded 2,000.
Three more years passed after that.
On this day, Lu Zhong practiced in a quiet room as usual.
But at this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, a ray of silver light flew out of his body. After this light circled the room for several times, it turned into a bright star and radiated out rays of light.
However, Xingchenjian has accumulated enough strength to start "journeying from world to world".
For Lu Zhong, reunifying the world line is also a top priority.
Without thinking, he nodded towards Qi Ling.
Immediately, the Xingchen Mirror activated its own magic, and sprayed out a stream of gray light in the mirror, wrapping Lu Zhong's whole person in it, and then the person and the mirror suddenly disappeared.
...
I do not know how long it has been.
Lu Zhong woke up from his drowsiness.
The air smelled of rust, and the sound of dripping water could be heard in my ears.
Familiar old memories come to mind.
"This? It's a night I traveled through time!"
Lu Zhong opened his eyes and used the dim light to see clearly where he was currently.
Then, his expression changed.
"Why, my cultivation this time..."
At this time, Lu Zhong discovered that his strength had actually returned to the first level of Qi refining.
Apart from this, other treasures such as lightning rods and green water fans were not brought over.
What's even worse is that this time even the gray fog space didn't respond.
As for the natal spiritual treasure star mirror, the induction at this moment is also abnormal, as if separated by an extremely long distance.
The only good news is that he can also mobilize the power of the Star Mirror.
Even if it's just a tiny bit.
But this could come in handy at a critical moment, which gave Lu Zhong a lot of comfort.
"Now it's time to figure out why I'm in this situation."
According to normal circumstances, Lu Zhong should be traveling with a complete state of cultivation just like when he first returned to the world line. This current state is not normal, and he suspects that there is some force blocking it.
I got up from the damp bed and took a look at the room.
Everything seems to be as it is in memory.
But he always felt that something was wrong.
"It seems too quiet outside!"
Limited by his five senses during the Qi refining period, Lu Zhong only reacted at this time.
It's not just quiet outside, it's clearly dead silence!
There was no sound of snakes, insects, rats or ants, and there was no movement of monks and mortals living their lives. It felt to him as if there were no other living beings in this world except this hut.
Lu Zhong suddenly had a hunch in his heart that this was most likely related to the abnormality in his body.
He turned to look at the oil lamp, and there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes. Since the lamp was always on, he thought it would be better to maintain the status quo, so he gave up the idea of blowing it out.
Move your steps and slowly come to the door.
Through the narrow gap, Lu Zhong began to look at the outside world.
Separated by a wall, there are two worlds.
Only then did he realize that a force was isolating the inside and outside of the wooden house. It was the power from the Star Mirror, but it was already dissipating at this moment.
You can see through the wooden board that the light outside is extremely dim.
Judging from the architectural layout, it can still be seen that it is consistent with Qingliuxu.
There are traces of chaos everywhere, with collapsed houses, ruined roads, and the lingering smell of corruption in the air.
It seems like something big has happened here.
Just when Lu Zhong was thinking.
Suddenly, a dozen figures appeared in the field of vision.
There are monks and mortals, their movements are shaky, their faces are gray and withered, they are like zombies, wandering aimlessly on the bluestone road.
Lu Zhong could not sense any vitality among these people.
"In the end what happened?"
He was puzzled by this.
After thinking about it for a while, I finally decided to observe it for a while.
Time passed little by little, and soon it was sunrise and dawn.
But at this time, the sky was still extremely dark.
The scorching sun above our head seemed like a fake. Even though it radiated thousands of rays of light, we couldn't feel any warmth at all. It was obviously the time of sunrise, but we still felt like we were in an ice cave.
With the limited light, Lu Zhong could initially see clearly what was going on outside.
For some unknown reason, the monks and mortals outside have all turned into zombies.
The strange thing is that, in his opinion, it does not look like the work of heretics, because whether it is a demonic cultivator or an evil cultivator practicing evil methods, if you want to transform a living person into the state outside, you need to meet many conditions.
The situation of these people outside seems more like they have encountered some kind of huge disaster.
At least some evil-level beings must take action.
"In the end what happened?"
This question emerged in Lu Zhong's mind again.
But at this moment, a figure flashed across the street.
Although the time was extremely short, he was sure that he had read it correctly.
"There are still living people. It seems that this world line is not as hopeless as I thought." Lu Zhong thought for a while and decided to try to contact the other party.
Maybe, you can learn something from this.
But before that, he needs to do more to protect himself.
This is quite simple, just draw some talismans and have them nearby, and the materials are all ready-made.
For a Void Refining cultivator, drawing talismans is easy. The only trouble is that his own spiritual energy is insufficient, so the process of making talismans is subject to many restrictions, and he cannot make high-level talismans.
Despite this, after Lu Zhong consumed the talisman paper, he still drew seven fireball talismans and nine golden light talismans.
The number of talismans is not large, but it can also give him the power to protect himself.
Then, he rested for a while.
However, he did not rest until his mana was fully restored, because Lu Zhong discovered at this time that the power that isolated the hut from the outside world was fading at an extremely fast speed and would soon disappear from here.
Without further ado, Lu Zhong immediately turned over and jumped onto the roof.
Head towards the direction in which the figure disappeared and touch it quietly.
Not long after he left, a figure broke into the wooden house. He smelled the remaining smell in the air and was confused.
At this time, Lu Zhong had already advanced more than a hundred feet.
With the help of the Qi Watching Technique, he can distinguish the subtle flow of breath in the air. Thanks to the magical insights gained during the Void Refining Stage, this is hundreds of times more accurate than relying on the sense of smell, making it very easy to track.
Following all the way, we soon walked out of Qingliu Ruins.
It can be clearly seen that the other party relaxed a lot after leaving Qingliuxu.
Lu Zhongruo thought about it and continued to follow it.
Soon, we arrived at our destination.
The result was somewhat unexpected, it turned out to be the hidden valley that Li Dong had brought him to in the old days.
"No wonder when I looked at that figure, I felt a little familiar."
Thinking about this, Lu Zhong entered the valley.
After bypassing several traps in succession, he soon saw three figures.
One of them is none other than Talisman Maker Li Dong.
Maybe it was the wrong time, and he didn't have the boy with him.
Because Lu Zhong didn't hide his aura deliberately.
At this time, the three people in the valley also noticed the person coming.
Li Dong was the first to look. After seeing Lu Zhong's face clearly, he suddenly seemed to have seen a ghost.
Because the person who appeared in front of him had already been killed by himself on the first day of the "Celestial Change".
But now, it appears again!
The two people next to him also reacted, and their expressions changed.
Faced with such a bizarre thing, even though their nerves have become much stronger after experiencing a shocking disaster, they still can't withstand this kind of stimulation for a while.
"How can it be!"
"You, are you a human or a ghost?"
Seeing the three of them looking like this, Lu Zhong smiled bitterly in his heart and understood why he appeared at this point in time.
I am afraid that Lu Zhong, who is not in this world line, has died in an accident, and it is very likely that among the three people in front of him, there are people who know about it or have witnessed it with his own eyes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! With this thought in his mind, he acted very calmly.
"Three fellow Taoists, take a closer look at me."
"How can those ghosts outside have such a complexion and vitality like this?"
After hearing what he said, Li Dong and others realized that the person standing in front of them was standing alive, which was very different from the walking dead outside.
He is clearly a big living person!
Despite this, Lu Zhong still did not dispel the doubts of the three people.
Li Dong, in particular, looked surprised and uncertain.
However, it seems that a big fight can be avoided.
Lu Zhong didn't care about this. He showed the fireball talisman and the golden light talisman in his hand and said to the three of them: "I don't know what is happening outside right now. Is there anyone willing to help me clear up my doubts?"
"As reward, you can get these talismans."
He could see that the three people in front of him lacked the ability to protect themselves.
Even if there is a Talisman Maker among them.
Sure enough, as soon as they heard the conditions proposed by Lu Zhong, the eyes of the three people opposite them immediately lit up.
Li Dong hesitated for a while and finally said:
"Perhaps I saw it wrong. Well, since my fellow Taoist wants to trade, how do I know how to do it? As I said before, what the three of us know is actually not much."
"So, as long as we answer, you have to give us a magic talisman."
"Yes, yes, you can accept this deal." A fat monk among the three said at this time.
"Okay, a question and a golden talisman." Lu Zhong replied.
Hearing this condition, Li Dong and others looked shocked, obviously they did not expect that Lu Zhong would agree to such harsh conditions proposed by them. You must know that now after the change in the sky, the value of the Golden Light Talisman has doubled.
