In the days that followed, Lu Zhong returned to a peaceful life.
Every day I either practice light body techniques or find time to go out and set up a stall.
Or meditate and practice Qigong in a quiet room.
The progress of practicing the Light Body Technique was somewhat beyond his expectation. It only took him half a month to study and practice, and he was already able to cast the spell proficiently. As long as it was not forcibly interrupted by external forces in the process, the existence of the magical spirit wind could always be maintained.
Arriving outside Fangshi, Lu Zhong chanted a mantra and prepared to practice the art of lightening one's body.
The next moment, a layer of cyan spiritual wind wrapped around the body, and at the same time, the body suddenly became light and was lifted up.
Along the road, he began to run with all his strength, and the scenery on both sides passed by.
After running for more than ten miles, a huge forest of rocks appeared in front of him, and the road drew an arc to bypass it, but he did not change direction and continued to move forward.
There are all kinds of strange rocks, and Lu Zhong can easily pass through them with the help of the light body technique.
At this time, a wild boar in the pile of rocks was alarmed and ran away with its head buried in the ground.
"Just in time, I can catch you to improve the food!"
Lu Zhong smiled slightly, jumped left and right among the rocks, and chased it at an extremely fast speed.
It only took a few breaths before he was chasing me.
Sensing the danger, the frightened wild boar braked suddenly, made several traces on the gravel ground, and then rushed into a nearby cave in a panic.
Lu Zhong followed closely, but he didn't forget to conduct a reconnaissance with the qi-gazing technique before entering the cave.
This time, I discovered something.
"Hey, could this color of aura be a magical elixir?" He immediately became interested. After confirming that there was no evil spirit inside, he walked towards the cave.
The cave is dark and humid, and there is a kind of luminous moss scattered on the rock wall, which emits a weak blue-violet light.
After reaching the fourth level of Qi refining, Lu Zhong's vision has been greatly improved compared to when he first introduced Qi into his body.
Although he was still unable to see without light, he could still clearly see the environment inside the cave with the help of the faint light emitted by the moss.
This is a long and narrow cave, roughly more than thirty feet deep.
The widest part is only more than ten feet.
Not long after Lu Zhongcai walked in, he saw the wild boar hiding at the end.
What surprised him was that the wild boar was lying in a pool of blood at this moment, with a fist-sized bloody hole in its neck. There was too much air coming in and little air coming out, and it was about to die.
On the stone platform next to it, a yellow rat that looked like a native dog was grinning at Lu Zhong.
In the dim light, a pair of blood-stained front teeth stood out, shining with metallic light.
As expected, the wild boar fell into its mouth.
"Hey, it's not a monster yet?" Lu Zhong glanced at the yellow mouse in surprise and found that there was no monster energy leaking out of its body. It should be a half-monster that has not yet completed its transformation.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
As he approached, the yellow rat made a threatening cry.
It just sounds like I don't have enough confidence.
When Lu Zhong sacrificed the Qingshuang Sword, the little guy suddenly started to tremble.
After struggling and hesitating for a while, the squeaking sound subsided, and then he moved to the side, revealing a bright red spiritual grass that looked to be of a certain age.
"Interesting, is this surrender?" Lu Zhong couldn't help but laugh.
First, he put the wild boars on the ground into the storage bag, and then put the spiritual grass into the jade box.
While he was thinking about how to deal with the yellow rat, footsteps suddenly came from outside.
Immediately afterwards, a voice of surprise came.
"It's Xiang Lingzhi, grandpa, the spirit-seeking rat must be in the hole!"
Ghost rat?
Lu Zhong glanced at the yellow mouse and thought that although this little guy looked good, he didn't seem to have anything to do with the famous ghost-seeking mouse, right?
Could it be said that after the yellow rat transforms into a monster, it will become a spirit-seeking rat?
"No matter what, let's hide first."
Lu Zhong disappeared, using the two skills of holding his breath and concealing himself, and hid behind a stone stalactite column.
It is not a good thing to meet monks in the wild.
There are many good and evil people among casual cultivators. They usually behave as honest and good people, but at certain moments they can directly turn into robbers and kill people without blinking an eye.
Without being sure of the opponent's strength and identity.
To be cautious, he decided to hide.
After a while, a group of grandfather and grandson came in outside.
Judging from their attire, they must be casual cultivators.
In terms of strength, grandpa is on the second level of Qi refining, and grandson has just introduced Qi into his body.
With the strength of these two people, even if they join forces, they may not be able to hurt the monks in the middle stage of Qi Refining.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong gave up hiding and came out from behind the stone pillar.
Seeing that there were other people in the cave, the grandfather and grandson were so shocked that they backed away.
"I accidentally bumped into fellow Taoist, please don't blame me, we'll leave now..." The white-haired old man in Ge Yi had a look of horror on his face, and he pulled his grandson and wanted to retreat in order to avoid any mishaps.
"Wait a minute."
Although Lu Zhong deliberately soothed his voice, it still startled the white-haired old man, who almost jumped up on the spot.
He smiled uglier than crying, and stammered: "Tao... Fellow Taoist, and... what can I do?"
"I just heard you talking about the spirit-seeking rat. Did you mean this big yellow-haired rat?" Lu Zhong asked the question in his heart.
"Yes...yes." The old man hesitated for a while, then hugged his grandson tightly and said: "The yellow jade rat, um... is the big yellow-haired mouse that Taoist friends call it. It will undergo transformation by chance, and when the transformation is completed, it will become
When it becomes a first-level monster, it can be called a spirit-seeking rat."
The spirit-seeking rat is a kind of monster that is very sensitive to spiritual energy. Its natural ability is similar to that of aura. It can see the flow of spiritual energy that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Therefore, it is often captured and tamed into spiritual beasts.
Depending on the training content, the ghost-seeking rats can play different roles.
For herbal monks, it is a good helper in finding elixirs.
For mining monks, spirit-seeking rats are good partners in exploring mineral veins.
"That's it." Lu Zhong nodded.
Immediately, he showed a thoughtful expression.
When the old man saw it, his heart suddenly shivered.
Before Lu Zhong could speak, he took the initiative to hand out a book wrapped in oil paper, held it up with both hands and said, "This is the beast control notes passed down from our ancestors. If you Taoist friends don't mind it, just take it."
When he said this, the old man felt a throbbing pain in his heart.
The descendants are not pretty, and they can't even keep the things left by their ancestors.
Even if it were written down from memory afterwards, it would still be a handwritten copy and would lose the meaning of the original work.
On the other side, Lu Zhong took it expressionlessly.
"Beast Control——Spirit Rat Chapter..."
Lu Zhong did not expect to have such a harvest. While being wary of his grandfather and grandson, he turned the pages of the book and read it.
After reading through it carefully, he found that the contents recorded in the notes were incomplete. It was obvious that many of the contents were pieced together, and the preface did not match the postscript.
Turning to one of the pages, it mentioned how to domesticate ghost rats and related breeding methods.
At the end of the note, there is also a prescription.
The function of the medicine is very simple. After feeding, it can improve the talent of the spirit-seeking rat.
