Lu Zhong's eyes swept across the two women in the courtyard, but did not stay on them for a moment. He turned to look at the five children not far away, and finally stopped on one of them.
Judging from age, this person is only three years old.
Compared to his lively brothers and sisters, he was not only thinner, but also looked sickly. He could only stand aside and watch with envy in his eyes.
With just one glance, Lu Zhong knew "Lv Zhong's" intention of collecting life-extending things.
But it was not for himself, but to treat his youngest son's illness.
On the other side, seeing her husband coming back with a strange monk, Bai Xiaohan and Huang Shuyuan saw this, called their children and came over together, and bowed to each other.
After Lu Zhong returned the gift, he also gave everyone a gift with a smile.
When it was the turn of the sick child, the little boy called himself "Lv Changqing." The name obviously contained the blessings of his parents, hoping that he would be like an evergreen tree and live for thousands of years.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a spirit-eating body, right?" Lu Zhong said via voice transmission.
"Fellow Taoist is right, it is indeed a spirit-devouring body..." Upon hearing this, "Lv Zhong"'s expression suddenly darkened, as if all his strength had been drained away.
The soul-devouring body is a terminal disease that is extremely rare in the world of immortality.
Appears and only appears in monks. Anyone suffering from this disease seems to have a bottomless pit in their body. No matter how they practice, it is difficult to introduce Qi into the body. And as the age increases, the disease will become more and more serious.
After the body's vitality is depleted, the essence, blood and vitality will be directly devoured until the person dies at the end of his lifespan.
After Lu Zhong heard this, he stopped talking.
Then, he and the three of them entered the living room together.
The guests were seated and the spiritual tea was poured.
"Lv Zhong" revealed the deal in front of Bai Xiaohan and Huang Shuyuan.
To this, the two women had different reactions.
Bai Xiaohan had a calm face and remained silent. Her clasped hands showed her inner peace at the moment. Huang Shuyuan, on the other hand, sobbed softly, and soon her eyes became red and swollen.
As for opposition?
They knew very well that this was the best outcome.
A man whose life span is about to be exhausted is exchanged for the opportunity to cure Yaozi's chronic illness.
No matter how you look at it, it's all worth it.
only......
Lu Zhong watched all this with cold eyes. It was impossible to say that he was not touched in his heart.
This situation is like another interpretation of his life.
In fact, without the help of the "grey mist space", Lu Zhong's life might have been like this, and there would be no way he could practice to become a god in the future, let alone achieve the goal of cultivating the void.
As his thoughts were swirling, Lu Zhong's eyes suddenly moved back.
I saw a pool of black water suddenly appearing on the flat ground outside the house, and then a figure slowly emerged. It was Lian who had been gone for a long time. She didn't look good at the moment, and she could even be said to be out of her mind.
I don’t know what she went through during this trip.
However, Lu Zhong did not pay attention to her, but looked at "Lv Zhong" and the other three people, thought for a while and then said:
"Actually, Changqing's disease is not incurable. In my opinion, it is not even a disease, but a special constitution. The reason why it is life-threatening is because in this world today, there is too little spiritual energy.
It is so barren that the body's replenishment cannot keep up with its consumption. As time goes by, the essence is depleted, and only then do we suffer from the spirit-eating disease."
"I have some speculation about this."
"Lv Zhong" sighed.
But knowing the root cause but being unable to solve the reality is the greater pain.
He once sought treatment from a foundation-building alchemist. The doctor's superb medical skills gave him a solution. That is, the only way to solve the spiritual-devouring disease is to successfully build the foundation. Only in this way can he introduce a large amount of external spiritual energy to consume and absorb his own energy.
Achieve balance.
If he can really do this, Lu Changqing will also have the opportunity to take off.
From then on, it skyrocketed!
Unfortunately, this is destined to be impossible to achieve. The spirit-eating body is far more terrifying than the soul-devouring body. It will swallow all the spiritual energy that enters the body.
During the process of cultivation, spiritual energy must be continuously supplied for the spirit body to devour, but this has a sequelae, that is, Lu Changqing's body cannot bear it, and the meridians will inevitably burst.
The only solution is to transfer a ray of extremely pure spiritual energy to offset the astonishing consumption efficiency of the spirit-devouring body, so that the energy can be introduced into the body.
Unfortunately this cannot be done.
Because the spiritual energy that can meet this requirement does not exist in this world.
"What if I can solve it?"
Lu Zhong smiled slightly, and then turned his gaze to "Lv Zhong".
When the latter heard this, his body trembled slightly, and after his complexion changed several times, he calmed down: "If fellow Taoist fellow Taoist can do it, even if I have to work as a cow or a horse for thousands of years, I, Lu Zhong, will be willing to do it!"
"Husband!"
When the two women next to him heard this, they both exclaimed.
Seeing that they still wanted to persuade, "Lv Zhong" waved his hand to interrupt the two women, and said with a relaxed smile: "You don't need to persuade me, I can trade my life for everlasting life, this life is enough for me!"
"Next, please ask fellow Taoists to realize this."
"certainly."
Lu Zhong responded like this, but he was thinking in his heart.
Is it worth it for me to spend so much money?
According to the previous transaction, he almost didn't have to pay anything. He only needed a bottle of Blood Pill to get the world line unified. But now, for a possibility, he might need to ask Lian for help.
In this case, a lot of sacrifice is inevitable.
In the end, Lu Zhong decided to believe in his hunch, that is, it would be of great benefit to him to have "Lv Zhong" in another world line take the initiative to choose to unify, so he sent a message to Lian:
"I need a ray of pure spiritual energy here, the purer the better."
"As you wish, my lord."
Lian did not refuse Lu Zhong's request, but instead felt secretly happy in her heart.
Then, a dim glow formed on her fingertips.
Lu Zhong looked at this glow and felt a rare surprise in his heart. This was the first time he saw that the spiritual energy that was so pure was no longer in the three states of gas, liquid and solid, but became a ray of light.
"I'm afraid it can no longer be called spiritual energy."
Maybe...this is the real fairy spirit.
"This spiritual energy is not for my use, so I need to remove the impurities in it, leaving only the pure spiritual energy." Seeing that Lian condensed this light and made no other moves, Lu Zhong reminded him in time.
If not, Lu Changqing's illness would be cured if he really let this immortal spiritual energy enter his body.
However, under the influence of the underworld woman's aura, or to be precise, the information carried by a high-level existence like her was seriously polluted. It is hard to say what the outcome will be like in the future.
Maybe he will eventually grow into a ghost giant.
Hearing this, Lian nodded, flicked his fingers to pull out a few strands of gray silk, and began to purify it. Without the influence of these "impurities", the strand of fairy spiritual energy suddenly became bright and transparent.
At first glance, it looks like a jumping golden flame.
"Pure and flawless, but like blood flowing..."
"What is the essence of spiritual energy?"
Lu Zhongduo glanced at it twice, then stretched out his hand to take it, and injected this ray of spiritual energy into Lu Changqing's body. The latter felt a warm flow into his body, and his mental state was much better, but he didn't know what happened.
However, "Lü Zhong" and his wife knew that their youngest son's chronic illness had been cured.
The black hole that devoured spiritual energy in Gein's vision of the Qi Watching Technique has been completely filled.
From now on, as long as Lu Changqing practices step by step, he will not die due to accidents on the way. Not to mention reaching the Nascent Soul realm, even if he is a god at the top of the world of immortality, he will not be able to catch a glimpse of it.
And all these changes were brought about by Lu Zhong in front of him.
