Life returns to calm.
In addition to making talismans and meditating every day, Lu Zhong also trains the spirit-seeking rat in his spare time to improve its ability to distinguish elixirs, so as to avoid running for all kinds of "junk" next time he goes out.
During this period, Huang Shuyuan also visited once.
It can be seen that she was very happy that day, saying that she had mastered a new talisman and could finally maintain a balance between income and expenses.
Lu Zhong was naturally happy for her.
Three months later, the winter rain continued.
There is a copper kettle on the small clay stove, which is boiling hot water.
Lu Zhong sipped the tea carefully while flipping through the exercises in his hands.
This body-refining technique is called "Linghuan Dharmakaya" and was passed down from a body-refining sect that has been extinct for a long time. Although it is not a profound body-refining method, there is no hidden hand hidden in it.
This method cost him two hundred and fifteen spiritual stones to purchase.
According to the book, this technique is relatively slow to practice and must be practiced with the Linghuan Secret Pill. After it is completed, the Linghuan Dharma Body can be cultivated. With this body, it can be invulnerable to water and fire by magic weapons.
The disadvantage is that taking pills is more expensive.
Generally speaking, Linghuan Dharmakaya is a good body training method.
Lu Zhong had long ago entrusted an alchemist to refine the Linghuan Secret Pill used to practice this skill.
The price of Linghuan Secret Pill is not cheap. After including the commission fee, the value of each piece is slightly higher than that of Peiyuan Pill, which is a full ten spirit stones.
When practiced, this technique is different from ordinary body-training techniques, but is similar to meditation practice.
Linghuan Dharmakaya has a special method, and when practicing it, it is like practicing kung fu. You can use this to refine Linghuan's secret elixir bit by bit, and use the medicinal power to temper your body.
The more Linghuan Secret Pills are refined, the better the effect of Linghuan Dharmakaya will be.
Lu Zhong finished refining a bottle of three Linghuan Secret Pills and found that the effect of this body training method was pretty good. His physical fitness could be said to have been comprehensively improved, and the most obvious manifestation was his strength.
Compared with before taking the pill, I gained less strength by three to two kilograms after taking the pill.
And this is only his first time practicing.
…
Less than half a month later.
Lu Zhongjing was very restless. Seeing that the spirit-seeking rat was almost trained, she decided to go out to the workshop to test the training results and to change her boring life.
After all, it is safe to make money by making talismans, but it is a bit boring.
Furthermore, cultivation is not just about practicing hard, it also requires some necessary experience.
It is precisely because of this that we hear from time to time that a certain sect disciple, or a disciple of a certain big family, was injured or died due to going out for training.
Yanling Mountain in winter is still green.
As far as Lu Zhong knew, not only the Yanling Mountain where he was located, but also the Yongling area further north, was also a place where snow did not fall in winter, but the temperature was slightly lower.
Along the way, Lu Zhong still avoided the mortal villages and monks along the way.
After arriving at the destination, the search for ghosts begins immediately.
After training, the soul-seeking rats are much more efficient in finding elixirs.
After a while, Lu Zhong found a bunch of elixir.
"It's red damask grass, and it's all the same year. You're lucky!"
He quickly dug out the roots of the red damask grass and stored it in a jade box.
As soon as I came out, I had such a harvest, and my mood immediately improved.
Later, I harvested two more clumps of red damask grass, both growing in unexpected places far away from the road.
"There are so many red damask grasses. Could it be that Yanling Mountain is the origin of this kind of spiritual grass?"
Lu Zhong decided to look for various elixir illustration books when he had free time to avoid making a joke about encountering treasures and not knowing about them.
Continue to take the spirit-seeking mouse to search for spirits, and gradually go deep into Yanling Mountain.
The further you go into the mountains, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy in the air, which means you may encounter evil cultivators at any time.
Unlike the hard-working wilderness cultivators in Qingliufang, the evil cultivators entrenched in Yanling Mountain are not easy to mess with. With the abundant spiritual energy in the mountains, their cultivation progress will not be much slower than in the city.
In addition, the mountains are full of dangers. Not only are monsters appearing at any time, but you also need to be wary of other evil cultivators with malicious intentions. Therefore, those who survive have all developed fighting skills, and their fighting experience is not much different from that of sect disciples.
If possible, Lu Zhong did not want to confront these evil cultivators.
After all, according to rumors, there are indeed demon cultivators among them.
Jumping over a stream, under the leadership of the spirit-seeking rat, what I found this time was a spirit mushroom.
Mushrooms are not a panacea, but they can be cooked into delicious spiritual food.
Seeing the sky getting dark, Lu Zhong decided to find a place to spend the night.
Speaking of which, this was his first time spending the night alone in the wild.
In order to ensure his own safety, Lu Zhong did not save time and just find a tree hole, but ordered the spirit-seeking rats to dig holes on the mountain wall.
Even though it is as big as a pig, it is not slow at all in digging up rocks. In front of those sharp rat claws, the mountain wall is not much stronger than tofu.
The dug channels are in a "zigzag" shape.
This digging method has many advantages. It can not only prevent people from throwing things in directly, but also prevent the situation inside from being directly seen.
Not long after the spirit-seeking rat dug, he suddenly found a hidden cave, and an underground river was connected to the depths.
He explored the underground river and did not feel the presence of evil spirits in the river. Instead, he caught a fat and big catfish, which could be stewed with the mushrooms for a snack.
"Gurgling grunting..."
Soon, the mushroom stewed fish will be ready.
Lu Zhong took a sip of the soup and found that it tasted particularly delicious.
The catfish does not taste earthy, and the meat is not as loose as expected. Instead, it is a bit tough. After being enhanced by the mushrooms, it can be said to be even fresher.
All in all, it's very delicious.
After eating, he didn't forget to give some to the spirit-seeking rats.
Considering that he was outside Fang City and it was only for a short night, Lu Zhong decided to meditate until dawn to avoid any accidents when he fell asleep.
He blocked the entrance to the cave with stones and began to meditate to regain his breath and regain his condition.
After nightfall, the mountain forest began to gradually become noisy.
From time to time, you can hear bursts of roars from animals near or far away.
At the fourth watch of the night, he heard footsteps outside and the sound of stones being pulled.
Fortunately, the thing only played with it for a while before choosing to give up and leave.
Then there was calm, but he didn't dare to relax.
Being in such a deep mountain, it can be said that it is surrounded by dangers, and there is no way to relax at all.
Detect malicious intent!
"Well, no response."
Lu Zhong felt relieved and continued to meditate.
Soon, it will be dawn.
After removing the stone, he saw the traces left by the thing last night.
There are obvious vertical marks on the stone wall, which must have been scratched with sharp claws. In the vision of the Qi Watching Technique, wisps of black breath are rising from these scratches.
"Corpse Qi?" Lu Zhong's expression changed.
Looking towards the entrance of the cave, I saw the faintest trace of corpse aura again.
"It seems the rumors are true!"
Lu Zhong became even more vigilant, looking at the mountains and forests outside with a solemn expression.
"To be on the safe side, we won't go any further today."
He decided to change directions slightly and continue searching for ghosts.
