Lu Zhong had already expected that it would be difficult to obtain jade essence.
After all, if this thing, as the main material of the Nine Turns Jade Essence Pill, is really easy to obtain, then this pill recipe will not be leaked.
Considering that Kunyang Territory is still under the control of evil, he decided to take it slow first.
Then take out the Miaohua Moon Pearl.
Looking at the thing in his hand, Lu Zhong showed hesitation.
The refining of the Moon Flower Miao Hua Xing Dan can actually start immediately after obtaining the moon beads. Because it is different from the ordinary water and fire elixir refining method, this elixir must be cultivated in the Dantian, and various elixirs can be refined through the human body.
Then the medicinal power is transferred to the moon bead, and the impurities in it are slowly dissolved by divine energy, and finally a flawless elixir is obtained.
The reason why he hesitated was because this step of accumulating would be detrimental to his own cultivation. Not only his cultivation, but due to the influence of the moon beads, his fighting skills would also be severely reduced.
Once you start, there is no turning back.
"That's all, it's worth taking more risks."
After much thought, Lu Zhong decided to let the avatar complete this step.
In view of the particularity of the accumulation process.
To do this, he needs to refine a very special incarnation.
In a way, this is another Lu Zhong.
This practice is a taboo in cultivating external incarnations. Unless the body is on the verge of death and wants to be reborn in another way, doing so is likely to bring hidden dangers, and may even cause the incarnation to turn against the guest.
Lu Zhong knew very well that he had another concern when doing this.
That's the current environment.
Since the bell-ringing incident, the relationship between immortality and evil has undergone subtle changes. From the life-and-death struggle at the beginning, to the weird handshake and peace, it has become even more ambiguous recently.
The changes are really hard to understand.
The root cause is undoubtedly the ringing of the welcoming bell.
But according to the current information, Lu Zhong still does not know the specific consequences of ringing the bell. He only knows that both sides of the immortal path suffered heavy casualties.
He had a premonition that the upcoming opening of the Third Cardinal Academy would bring about a wave of bloodshed.
And this is also the reason why Lu Zhong is unwilling to compromise his own strength.
Even if this time is only a thousand years.
No longer thinking about it, Lu Zhong raised his hand, and a ray of light flew out of his sleeve, and then unfolded it into a scroll. There were mountains and water, which was a scroll of mountains and rivers.
Compared with when I first obtained it, the content of the pictures on this object is much richer.
On the large scroll, there is a beautiful picture of the country.
Thanks to the continuous help of the Kongmulang Sacred Tree in stabilizing the restoration, the mountains, rivers, caves and sky are now becoming more and more vast, reaching more than 20,000 miles, and can accommodate more monks.
Entering it, what you see in front of you is a Taoyuan Pure Land.
Compared with the turbulent outside world, the mountains, rivers, caves and sky are peaceful and peaceful. Especially ordinary people can live and work in peace and contentment without being disturbed by hunger.
Of course, there are still undercurrents stirring beneath the calm surface.
There are many smart people who, through one way or another, realize that the world they live in is just a cave, and they are just like a caged bird.
From this came the idea of pursuing freedom.
Lu Zhong's treatment of these is also very simple.
Out of sight, out of mind, no need for harsh methods, just throw them all out.
Given the vast territory of the Feng Yuan Realm, it is not a strange thing for a dozen or so Alchemy Formation monks to appear out of thin air. Even if these people claim to come from a certain cave, it is not a strange thing.
Turning around, Lu Zhong came to the sacred tree of Kongmulberry.
Over the years, this tree has become stronger and stronger, like a pillar in the sky, reaching up to the sky and beyond, reaching down to the yellow spring and blue sky, standing in the middle of the mountain and river boundary.
A magnificent temple has been built around the Kongmul sacred tree.
Either to find spiritual solace or to worship spontaneously.
At present, mortals in the mountains and rivers world have actually sprouted the worship of the sacred tree of Kongmulberry. Although the latter has no response to this, it still cannot stop groups of pilgrims from coming to pay homage to this sacred tree.
For example, at this moment, on the winding mountain road, there are ascetics wearing green robes. Among them are men, women, old and young. They are covered in wind, frost and dust. They are bowing three times step by step, with indescribable piety on their faces.
Start in front of the sacred tree on the top of the mountain.
Lu Zhong did not intervene in this, and let the avatars stand by and watch.
This scene caused him to have many associations.
It is also a tree, and the golden tree will obviously have admirers, and the immortal way may be born from it. So, will the worship of the empty mulberry sacred tree create a new path?
Maybe there is, maybe there isn't.
Regardless of the outcome, Lu Zhong planned to experiment.
Relying on his cultivation during the Void Refining Stage, no one noticed his arrival along the way. Only when he approached the sacred tree of Kongmulberry, his trunk trembled slightly, which was a welcome gesture.
"This is the spiritual wood collected recently."
As he spoke, he swept his sleeves away, and a small mountain-like pile of spiritual trees suddenly appeared in front of him.
This is the agreement between Lu Zhong and Kongsang Shenmu.
Lu Zhong has been abiding by it for many years.
"Thank you, I'm very satisfied." Kongsang Shenmu woke up from his deep sleep, and there was a hint of joy in Gujing Wubo's voice.
Immediately afterwards, He said:
"Recently, I've noticed that there's a lot of turmoil outside, but what big thing happened?"
"Indeed there is..."
When Lu Zhong saw Kongmulg Shenmu, he unexpectedly showed a rare concern for external affairs and told the story of ringing the bell. Even Ye Panyan saw it without any reservations.
The purpose, of course, is to get some answers from the Kongmulg Sacred Tree.
"Hmm...the bell rings, but the immortal has not arrived yet?"
The sacred tree of Kongmulang began to ponder.
In this matter, He tasted something unusual.
Change, unprecedented change!
"It seems that something big happened in the immortal world. Considering the sudden destruction of the Dao Alliance, I can probably guess what happened..."
When Kongmulg Shenmu said this, he paused and said with a rare smile:
"I'm sorry, I know you don't like the Riddler, but the matter is serious. As for the answer, you can only find it yourself."
"Also, the occurrence of this change may not be an opportunity. If it were me, I would regard it as the best opportunity to break free from the shackles and pursue the path of transcendence. In the process, despite the many dangers and dangers, life and death are between disaster and blessing, but
It’s truly an unprecedented opportunity.”
"Having said that, the rest is up to you."
"Thank you!" Lu Zhong said with a deep bow, cupping his hands.
Although Kongsang Shenmu's words seemed to have said nothing and were just empty words, they revealed a lot of information.
Unprecedented opportunity.
Become the true and only immortal.
Lu Zhong couldn't help but recall again what Guan Daozi reminded him in the past. There was an obvious connection between the two, and the old road that didn't work might not be a bad thing.
After thanking him again, he told Kongsang Shenmu another reason for his visit.
But he was the incarnation who asked him to keep the nourishing elixir for him.
It's not that I'm worried about having an accident.
But if the sacred tree of Kongmulberry is there, external evil will not be able to invade, thus ensuring that the incarnation is safe.
"no problem!"
The Kongmulang Sacred Tree readily agreed, and then a gap opened in the trunk, revealing a unique space inside. It looked not small, and it contained the power of the Sacred Tree.
"When you have your incarnation ready, just put it in."
"Thank you very much!"
Lu Zhong once again bowed his hands and thanked him before leaving the empty mulberry tree.
Then, he turned around and entered the Chaosheng Cave. After the people below brought the materials and completed the breath adjustment, he started refining the incarnation so that he could start refining the Yuehua Miaohua Xisheng Dan as soon as possible.
...
Time flies like an arrow, and time flies like a shuttle.
The years passed like water, and Chaosheng Cave was filled with spiritual energy every day, shrouded in shocking storms.
In the blink of an eye, it's a span of time.
In the quiet room, Lu Zhong sat cross-legged.
Opposite him, there was an identical figure.
Even if others observe carefully, they cannot tell the difference.
And this is the special incarnation refined by Lu Zhong.
Seeing the spiritual light surging, he slowly created a restriction. Once the incarnation was refined, all he had to do was send in the Miaohua Moon Pearl to complete this step.
However, Lu Zhong thought for a while and decided to take extra insurance.
He flipped his hand and took out the sword that killed him. He pressed his fingers on the blade of the sword to let the brilliance sink into it, and then he drove the sword into the Dantian of the incarnation.
From this, the life and death of the incarnation depend on his thoughts.
Due to the special nature of the Killing Sword, even if it betrays you after its incarnation, it cannot be eradicated.
It is even more impossible to refine this sword for your own use.
This is the last resort.
After doing this, Lu Zhongcai looked at his work with a satisfied smile on his face, then released the prepared elixir and took out the Miaohua Moon Bead.
"I have notes on every step of the Yuehua Miaohua Xixidan's cultivation, and I will leave it to you next."
"Well, just leave it to me."
The incarnation nodded and took the Miaohua Moon Pearl. Then he raised his head and drank it, and immediately began to refine the elixir and began to cultivate the elixir.
Lu Zhong saw nothing strange, so he took him to the sacred tree of Kongmulberry. Once the tree hole was closed, the incarnation was completely isolated from the outside world. Next, it depends on whether the incarnation can pass the test of time.
"Now it's time to do my own thing."
...
Many years have passed, and the storm of Fang He's death has long subsided.
Lu Zhong sent an avatar to investigate, and after confirming that he was safe and sound, he returned to the Lingque Mountain Cave. However, he never thought that a guest would come to visit him just one day after returning.
The person who came was none other than Taoist Su Xin from the Hua Qiong Sect.
After so many years, there are not many obvious changes in this woman. She has only improved a lot in her cultivation. I think it won't be long before she can break through to the late stage of Void Refining.
After a while, the guests and hosts took their seats, and spiritual tea was served.
"We haven't seen each other for many years. My Taoist friend's cultivation speed is no less advanced than mine. It seems reasonable that Taoist friend Jinguang has achieved so much. So when I met this opportunity, I immediately thought of Jinguang Taoist."
Friend, I want to invite fellow Taoists to act together so that we can take care of each other." Su Xin said with a slight smile, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, no longer as serious as before.
"Fellow Taoist, I am over-praised! My success today can only be regarded as the result of chance. If something goes wrong along the way, the result will be like the fate of thousands of monks, reduced to withered bones in the grave." Lu Zhong replied modestly.
, the topic changed: "By the way, what is the opportunity to get all the fellow Taoists from the Hua Qiong Sect to care so much?"
"Oh, it seems that fellow Taoist monk is really an ascetic monk. He didn't even know about the birth of the spirit realm." Taoist Aunt Su Xin looked surprised, but she soon felt relieved. After all, a monk like Lu Zhong would not be able to focus on the spiritual world if he didn't devote himself to it.
On the road, how can we have the achievements we have today?
Immediately, she told everything.
The so-called spiritual realm refers to the "blue sky spiritual realm".
"This spiritual realm was originally the mountain gate of Biluo Sect, a large sect in ancient times. However, bad luck caused the sect to decline and be destroyed after a series of droughts and successive crises."
"However, even though this sect is destroyed, the production in the spiritual realm continues."
"No matter who you are, you can obtain the spiritual object called 'Qingxiao Water' by passing the three trials of Biluo Sect. I think fellow Taoists must also know the function and importance of this object, right?"
Of course Lu Zhong has heard of Qingxiao Water.
It is useless for cultivation, but it will be of great help for the future path.
This spiritual water can cleanse the soul, making it clearer and more transparent, increasing potential, or removing pollution. Therefore, it is sought after by thousands of monks. From monks in the transformation stage to great powers in the Mahayana stage, all can benefit from it.
endless.
Such a magical object can indeed make Taoist Su Xin, who was born in the Hua Qiong Sect, take it seriously.
