Lu Zhong stopped exercising and slowly opened his eyes.
He briefly sensed his cultivation, and couldn't help but feel a bit bitter on his face: "Sure enough, without the aid of pills, even if you practice hard for three years, your cultivation will only increase a little bit."
Progress is imperceptible.
However, there has been a lot of good news recently.
First, a "Tourmaline Lingzhu Grass" was accidentally harvested. It is three thousand years old. It only needs to be slightly ripened to more than five thousand years, and it can be used as the main material to refine the Tourmaline Pill.
I believe that after taking this pill, my cultivation level will increase a lot.
Another happy event.
Regarding the collection of seventh-level elixir prescriptions, I also raised eyebrows.
The news came from refugees, a group of monks who had fled from the Eastern Region and offered them in exchange for a place to stay.
At first glance, this looks like a trap.
After some verification, Lu Zhong found that the news was indeed suspicious.
Fifteen years later, a grand exchange meeting will be held in a place called the Treasure Land of Gathering Spirits, where a large number of high-level monks will gather, including many Mahayana and Fusion monks.
And the elixir Lu Zhong needs will most likely appear by then.
Not only elixirs, but also finished elixirs or various elixirs may appear at the exchange meeting.
As for whether you can exchange it after you fall in love with it, that's another matter.
However, it is not easy at all to participate in this meeting.
The place where the spirit gathering treasure is located is not the spirit world.
It's a virtual world.
So if you want to participate, you have to try to get there first.
This can be seen as a kind of participation threshold.
Only by refining a "Spirit Gathering Treasure Token" based on the drawings can we arrive at the venue in time when the exchange meeting starts.
Apart from practicing, Lu Zhong has spent most of his time on this recently.
Hard work pays off.
After this period of refining, he finally refined the Spirit Gathering Bao Ling. When he poured mana into it, he could sense it and connect it to somewhere in the void.
Now, just wait until the time is right.
Before this.
Lu Zhong thought about it for a while and found that he had nothing to do.
Because he has established a great reputation before, there are few high-level demon cultivators, monks, and demons in Luofu today who dare to cause trouble. This is because these beings are quite intelligent and know how to think carefully before doing anything, just in case something goes wrong.
Be careful to offend the Lord of Luofu City.
No matter how big the problem is, small things also need to be taken care of.
After all, those little monsters and monsters can be dealt with by Luofu Wei alone.
In this way, after careful combing, Lu Zhong found that given Luofu's situation, he could be a hands-off shopkeeper.
But this was exactly what he wanted.
"That's all, continue practicing."
Being able to immerse yourself in cultivation every day and not be disturbed by external worldly matters is actually a kind of happiness.
But suddenly, a golden light flew in from outside the hall.
It was Su Xin who came to see me.
"What is she here for?"
Lu Zhong thought as he walked out.
Since Suxin joined Luofuwei, a lot of the burden that originally weighed on Taiyin's incarnation was immediately shared.
Hunt the demons in the city and kill the low-level demon cultivators who cross the border.
I have to say, this woman did an excellent job.
Following the sound of footsteps, Su Xin, wearing a white-gold robe, quickly walked into the temple.
It can be seen that she looks a little tired at the moment, her hair is slightly disheveled, and there are even blood stains oozing out from her chest.
Seeing this scene, Lu Zhong's heart sank.
Soon, Su Xin revealed her intention.
"You mean... there are mysterious monks lurking outside Luofu City and launched a sudden attack this morning? And they are trying to control you with secret methods?"
"That's right!"
When Su Xin said this, she was also a little scared.
If Lu Zhong hadn't given her a calming talisman and then used Hua Qiong's secret method to break through the restrictions and be able to immobilize a good opponent of the opponent and get out of trouble, she would have been controlled by someone now.
If that scene really happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Then, she described in detail the methods used by the group of monks.
After Lu Zhong heard this, he also heard nothing about it.
At the same time, he did not expect that such a thing would happen in his territory.
You know, Su Xin is a monk in the early stages of integration.
To be able to subdue her during a sneak attack and try to control her, it is obvious that not only do you need enough manpower, but you also need to have a certain background, otherwise just confusing the mysterious method will be a problem.
In such a large Central Region, there are only a few forces that can do this.
Also, what is the other party’s intention to control Su Xin?
Is it an invasion of Luofu?
Lu Zhong thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Su Xin: "Where did the incident happen? I want to go there and investigate to see if I can find anything."
"Um."
Su Xin nodded and told the location of the attack.
"I will go with you."
Lu Zhong did not refuse, but gave the other party a healing elixir.
Later.
After Su Xin has recovered a little or two, he will use the magic technique.
Lu Zhong had already commissioned the incarnations to conduct an extremely detailed survey of the topography and landforms in Luofu.
So once you hear Su Xin's description, you can accurately locate it.
With a flash of silver light, the two of them disappeared from the Jade Sky in an instant.
At the same time, two figures suddenly appeared above a messy mountain ridge.
It was Lu Zhong and Su Xin who were teleported.
"It's here, but...the traces of the scene, including the nine fallen Luofu guards, were all taken away by that group of people, and not even a trace of their breath is left here." Su Xin released.
As soon as he realized what he was thinking, his expression turned ugly.
In this case, it is almost certain that no trace will be found.
"Don't worry, let me do it."
Lu Zhong comforted her and released his consciousness without reservation.
In an instant, a stream of spiritual consciousness expanded quietly, covering an area thousands of miles in radius.
Within this range, any movement could not be hidden from Lu Zhong.
But just as Su Xin said, after that group of mysterious monks missed it, they really cleaned up the scene without leaving even a trace.
He even sensed an obscure fluctuation.
"Hmph, even the means of chasing Shuo have been interfered with."
Lu Zhong snorted coldly, but did not show any anger in his heart. Instead, he used the gray fog space to start exploring the place.
The results will come out quickly.
Although he was somewhat disturbed by the other party's methods during the review process, he was still able to determine the identity of the attacker.
Unexpected.
He is not a Holy Land monk, nor is he a demon clan.
"Although I have never seen this method before, the familiar feeling of déjà vu is correct! It must be the monk of Huangquan Dao!"
Lu Zhong never expected that it would be them who attacked Su Xin.
After learning the identity of the attacker, the Huangquan Dao monk quickly figured out his purpose, fearing that he was eyeing the unique status of Luofu Immortal City.
Or perhaps, they are planning to use Luofu as the landing place and want to pick the weakest persimmons.
After thinking for a moment, he told Su Xin his answer.
When the latter heard this, his expression became serious.
"Heretical monks..."
As a fusion monk, Su Xin's knowledge is naturally unmatched by ordinary monks, and he naturally knows what this matter means.
In the history of Linghuan Realm, this often represents the arrival of cross-border wars.
In the long years of cultivating immortals, this kind of thing has happened more than once, but every exception has ended in failure, which is why there have been so many heretics and evil.
"This matter is more serious than you think!"
Lu Zhong saw that Su Xin had not realized the essential difference between Huangquan Dao and the evils of heretics, so he couldn't help but tell her the secret about Guan Daozi through sound transmission.
"What, even...!"
Su Xin was so shocked that she covered her mouth and it took a while to get over the shock.
"Yes, that's it."
After all, Lu Zhong holds the fragment of the Humane Killing Sword in his hands, so he has always believed in the fact that Guan Daozi was defeated by Huangquan Dao.
"Although I feel that there must be some secrets inside that are not known to outsiders, in the end that is the fact."
He sighed lowly and said:
"Be prepared. Now that Huangquan Dao has penetrated in and started to take action, there is not much time left before they open the cross-border channel and officially invade the Linghuan world."
Lu Zhong felt happy about this.
Fortunately, he has been promoting the transformation of Luofu Fortress in order to deal with the threats of the Holy Land and monsters.
Today's Luofu Fortress is no longer what it used to be. Not only has the original Xuantian formation been strengthened, it has reached the strength of an eighth-level formation, which can resist Mahayana attacks for a long time.
At the same time, the Five Elements Rotation Formation has also been upgraded again.
If necessary, the five elements of destruction can be stimulated.
However, there is no reason why the word "big" is missing from the name of the formation. It is because the formation is still not perfect and still lacks several important materials.
Even so, the five elements are enough to destroy the divine light.
Can deal with the tribulation period.
Lu Zhong didn't think that in the early stage of the invasion, the Huangquan Taoist Society would invest a stronger force than during the Tribulation Stage to deal with this small fortress of his.
After some further review, he quickly locked the direction in which the group of Huangquan Dao monks were leaving.
There is nothing to say, I will definitely catch up.
Whether it is to obtain intelligence, to deal with potential threats, or to familiarize yourself with the fighting skills of high-level monks of Huangquan Dao in advance, doing this is very necessary.
...
Pyroxene Mountain.
Not long ago, the Jiedan family moved from other places and obtained the land permit from Luofu City. This place became the place where they thrived.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long.
With the arrival of a group of mysterious people, all high-level officials were slaughtered.
Only a few people survived, but they were controlled by puppetry and couldn't help themselves.
At this moment, three figures gathered in the meeting hall.
The person sitting at the head was a jade-faced young man. There was a black mysterious rune between his eyebrows, which was faintly emitting a black light and looked quite ominous.
"What's our next step?"
"Of course I acted according to the plan, but...I didn't expect today's failure at all. Akagami-kun, what happened to you before?"
The person who said this was an enchanting woman dressed in red and wearing a red flower on her head.
I'm about to succeed, but I don't want to fall short in the end.
Now it's fine, everything has to start over again.
A special place like Luofu Fairy City is hard to find.
After hearing this, the short-haired, black-faced man who was silent on the side also turned his attention to the jade-faced young man named "Red God Lord".
"Hong Mei, Hei Lou, look at this talisman."
Lord Chigami did not argue and placed a broken golden talisman on the table.
"Hey, is this
"Yunlu True Talisman!"
The black-faced man Hei Lou said with a solemn expression.
"That's right, it was this Taoist talisman that immobilized me, so that even mobilizing the soul became a luxury. Otherwise, the immortal cultivator would not have had a chance to escape at that time." Lord Chishen looked at the golden talisman.
His complexion kept changing.
As the vanguard of Huangquan Road, the three of them formed an infiltration team with the purpose of clearing a safe landing site in advance.
Facing the Linghuan world where the Immortal Dao is entrenched, even the Huangquan Dao monks feel quite pressured.
It is even more clear that if our side does not make preparations and rashly opens the cross-border entrance, there will only be one result, that is, the prepared banished immortal will launch an immortal-level attack while waiting for work, and instantly annihilate all the underworld monks.
This can be regarded as the experience accumulated during the repeated invasions of Huangquan Dao.
"It's strange. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be dragons and phoenixes in this world."
Hong Mei said with a strange look on her face.
Even if there is a true spirit left, based on her understanding of the immortal way, it must be from the Qilin clan, and only the dragon and phoenix true spirits cannot appear.
But now, a dragon, phoenix and cloud appeared.
Things are weird everywhere.
Before the three of them could figure it out, lightning suddenly washed down.
Rumble!
All purple thunder emerges like a waterfall.
Almost in an instant, it cut from the top of Huishi Mountain to the foot of the mountain, and then sank straight into the ground, creating an abyss.
And this was just Lu Zhong's charged attack.
"Ahem, the Lord of Luofu City really deserves his reputation!"
The embarrassed figure of Lord Red God appeared, and the two less powerful people behind him even had a lot of damage to their clothes, especially the enchanting woman named "Red Charm". At this moment, her skin was constantly bleeding, and a lot of her hair was burned off.
.
"Just you three?"
Lu Zhong flicked his sleeves and took out the thunder needles, dragon flags and other treasures.
Immediately, there was a flash of moonlight behind him, and a pale figure slowly appeared, but it was him who transformed Taiyin and brought him with him.
Including Su Xin, there are also three people on both sides.
"Wait a minute, fellow Taoist, I have something to say!"
Akagami-kun shouted loudly.
"Fellow Taoist? When did Huangquan Dao and Immortal Dao become one and the same?" Lu Zhong sneered again and again, and what he said made the expressions of the three people opposite him change drastically.
This person can actually see through our identities?
When Lord Chi Shen heard this, he felt something bad in his heart.
Although I don't know what the other party is like, I have seen through the identities of the three of them and recognized that they are not immortal monks, but the serious consequences can be expected.
If the immortal cultivators knew about this in advance, the invasion of Huangquan Dao would be blocked.
"Come on, even if you save your life here, we will kill them!" Lord Chishen looked gloomy, staring at Lu Zhong and the other three, almost gritting his teeth and saying this.
Behind him, Hong Mei and Hei Lou looked at each other and both smiled bitterly.
"Okay, okay, it seems I can't go back."
After Hong Mei Nai said this, she took out something from her chest, but it was a red wedding dress, which was embroidered with runes and exuded a trembling aura.
Shake it gently and put it on your body.
Seeing this scene, Lu Zhong couldn't help but remind Su Xin.
"Be careful later. Although the methods of Huangquan Dao are the same as those of Immortal Dao, there are essential differences in the improvement of cultivation. I think this must be the same in fighting."
Inferred from the unnatural formation of spiritual energy.
Immortal cultivators absorb spiritual energy, and Huang Quan Dao definitely does not.
