The monk's state of mind is extremely important.
Such sudden changes in concepts are abnormal according to common sense. After all, a monk's three views have already been determined with growth, and it is extremely difficult to change unless something major happens.
"There must be something wrong with me."
Lu Zhong's face was gloomy and he hurriedly left the printing workshop.
Return to the sect and go straight to the Scripture Collection Pavilion, where the Heling Sect stores its classics. Even if the inner sect disciples intelligently browse the first floor of the classics, the number of books in the collection is nearly 10,000 volumes.
After burning the midnight oil and reading nearly a thousand ancient scrolls, Lu Zhong initially identified the source of the change in his mood.
This is probably a consequence of cultivating the spiritual cultivation technique.
"That's right, how can you be safe after absorbing so much Yin energy." Under the clear light, Lu Zhong's face looked a little gloomy, and his eyes kept flickering, as if he was thinking of countermeasures.
According to the information revealed in the classics, he judged that the negative emotions contained in Yin Qi had an impact on his soul. Logically speaking, this could be avoided by absorbing pure Yin Qi.
But Lu Zhong was just a casual cultivator at that time, so where could anyone help him?
So much so that after practicing the soul nourishing surgery, evil thoughts abounded in the soul.
Continue to check the classics until dawn.
After wasting so much effort, it was not without gain.
"By practicing Qingxin Kung Fu, you can eliminate the evil thoughts mixed with your soul. The next step is to go to the Chuan Gong Hall..." Lu Zhong felt a little relieved at this moment, and faced the rising red sun, he headed towards the Chuan Gong Hall. Go.
When we arrived at the Chuan Gong Hall, there were already many disciples waiting here, most of whom came here to read the exchange exercises.
After joining the team, I waited for about half an hour before the deacon who taught me the merits appeared.
Since he is a deacon, he must of course build his foundation.
"Disciple has met Master Hong!" Disciples kept saying hello to the deacon.
Of course Lu Zhong was no exception and also bowed.
At the same time, he looked at the person who came. She was a female cultivator with many wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. Her appearance was not very good-looking, but her temperament was as frosty as snow, giving people a feeling that it was difficult to deal with.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong secretly said something bad.
I was afraid that if I went out without reading the almanac, I would meet the enemy of the cheap master.
This Master Hong's full name is Hong Biyun, and he had quite a feud with Master Lu Zhong, Shui Ni. It is said that the two fought several times over this, but Hong Biyun was defeated every time.
Lu Zhong secretly thought that he was unlucky. Now that something was wrong with him, he couldn't continue to spend more money, so he could only continue to queue up.
Hong Biyun walked to the Chuan Gong Hall and sat down on an exquisite chair.
"Come one by one and register with me before you can enter the pavilion to search for the exercises."
"Yes!" None of the disciples dared to question.
When it was Lu Zhong's turn, Master Hong looked him up and down.
There was no kindness in his eyes.
Fortunately, the other party still cared about face after all and did not take the opportunity to attack the enemy disciple.
With no danger, Lu Zhong successfully entered the Chuan Gong Hall.
To be honest, this is his first time here.
Each part of the Chuan Gong Hall is connected by formations, and different types of exercises are stored in different areas. It is different from the Sutra Pavilion. There are very few books here, but only various exercises and secret techniques.
Lu Zhong searched according to the map and found the location of Qingxin exercises.
Not much, just two doors.
They are "Calming Heart Mantra" and "Bingxin Jue"
The Meditation Mantra is similar to a spell. Just looking at its introduction in the first few pages, you can see that it does have the effect of eliminating evil thoughts in the heart, and can keep the mind clear and prevent this situation from happening again in the future.
The Bingxin Jue is similar to a Kung Fu method. It can operate on its own after being practiced, but its effect is slightly weaker than that of meditation.
After thinking about it, Lu Zhong decided to choose Bingxin Jue.
The Meditation Mantra needs to be cast manually. It may be more effective than the Bingxin Mantra at first, but over time, it will not be as good as the latter, and it is only suitable for temporary expediency.
After choosing the technique, Lu Zhong went to Uncle Hong and spent a hundred points of good work to exchange the Bingxin Jue.
He hurried back to the residence of the inner disciples and immediately closed his door to meditate.
…
The whole month passed in the blink of an eye.
In the quiet room, Lu Zhong slowly opened his eyes, his expression could not be said to be pretty.
Bing Xin Jue was effective, but the effect could only suppress evil thoughts. It could only prevent his state of mind from being subtly changed, but it was unable to solve the consequences.
"Come to think of it, the effect of the Meditation Mantra isn't much better."
Lu Zhong stopped his power and stood up, still using the Bing Xin Jue to circulate in his body.
In this case, the state of mind is clear and transparent, and there is no interference from evil thoughts for the time being.
In this way, he finally had time to solve the trouble.
"How to eliminate future troubles?" Lu Zhong didn't know how to start. After thinking about it, he could only ask his cheap master. Maybe Shui Ni, from a high position, could give a suitable solution.
Thinking that he would not see Shui Ni for a while, he had no choice but to suppress the matter for the time being.
When they came to Wangxian Town again, Li Hejun became more and more beautiful, and his appearance surpassed that of many female cultivators.
"Master..." Li Hejun showed a sad expression. As the owner of her body, she was very aware of the changes that had taken place in her body. It was just the last bloom of the epiphyllum.
Perhaps within three to five years, she will age into an old woman and turn into a handful of loess.
"Don't worry, I won't sit back and do nothing." Lu Zhong gave her a dose of reassurance.
The printing workshop still needs to be managed by Li Hejun. Whether it is finding a solution or cultivating new confidants, it will take a certain amount of time, and it is impossible to directly plunge her into despair.
As for how to manage it at that time, it can only be said that it depends on the specific situation.
There is no way, Lu Zhong can't protect himself now.
After a little comfort, he asked about the recent sales of storybooks.
This is related to the acquisition of cultivation resources, so Lu Zhong cannot help but pay more attention to it.
Hearing this, Li Hejun took out an account book from his storage bag and reported: "Master, this month's sales revenue has improved a lot compared to last month. A total of 3,761 spiritual stones were received, after deducting various expenses. And with some R&D, there are still 3,156 spirit stones left in the end."
With that said, she presented the storage bag in her hand.
Lu Zhong checked and found that Li Hejun was not lying, so he took away the three thousand spiritual stones inside.
Not all of these three thousand spirit stones could be obtained by him.
Even though Master Yi did not say it clearly, the benefits that should be given to Shui Ni must still be given.
Even though Shui Ni was smiling all day long and calling her a good disciple, the real relationship between the two was just that of a master and an ordinary disciple, not a true master-disciple relationship.
After all, it is still a transaction.
Therefore, at the end of the three thousand spiritual stones, it is good for him to get 70%.
There is nothing dissatisfying if you can get the big head.
At the same time, Lu Zhong handed her the latest issue of the manuscript and ordered: "Intensify printing and strive to have a stable supply of scripts. With the remaining one hundred spiritual stones, you can also use it to buy some nourishing medicine to slow down the health of the body as much as possible." Aging, otherwise even if I find a solution, if you can't bear it, it will be in vain!"
"Yes..." Li Hejun lowered his head and responded softly.
…
Another half month passed before Shui Ni finally responded.
Under the laurel tree, Lu Zhong presented a jade box. When he opened it, the aroma of medicine filled his nostrils.
Inside is a golden-threaded spiritual lotus, which is already three hundred years old. It is suitable for monks in the later stages of foundation building. It can be used as the main medicine for refining cultivation-increasing elixirs and is worth eight hundred spiritual stones.
"Haha, good disciple, you are really thoughtful." Shui Ni did not refuse, but accepted with a smile on her face, and she had a better impression of Lu Zhong.
It was just a boring pastime, but I never thought it would have many benefits.
With this Golden Thread Spirit Lotus, I can just make a batch of elixirs. Maybe my cultivation will be improved a lot because of this, and I will be one step closer to completing the foundation building period.
In this case, it is not good to have no reward.
She looked at Lu Zhong for a while, and suddenly a golden light flashed in her eyes. A strange look appeared on her expression, and she also had a clear understanding in her heart. The smile on her face became even wider, as if she had encountered something fun.
Shui Ni made a hand and recited a curse, and soon formed a golden spell.
"My master already knows about the annoyance of my good disciple. This Junyang Law can purify evil thoughts. Once it is incorporated into the body, it will take effect. After some hard work, it should be quite effective."
When Lu Zhong heard this, he was shocked.
"Is this the foundation-building monk? From a high position, he could easily see the problems I encountered..."
Without changing his expression, he took the magic ban into his body.
The Junyang Technique enters the body, and it suddenly feels like the scorching summer sun in the middle of winter. A warm feeling is obviously felt in the body. The Bingxin Jue, which was originally only able to barely suppress the evil thoughts in the heart, actually suppresses the numerous evil thoughts at this moment. The Dharma prohibition dissipates evil thoughts.
According to this trend, it only takes a few years to solve the hidden dangers.
"My monthly filial piety is really not in vain!" Lu Zhong was overjoyed and couldn't help but feel grateful to his master Shui Ni.
"My good disciple, have you encountered any problems in your cultivation recently? Why don't you tell us about them?" Shui Ni pushed the process to the next stage, naturally wanting to end this interview as soon as possible.
Lu Zhong thought for a moment, thinking that he had not encountered any problems for the time being.
With the Secret Pattern Pill and the spiritual purification properties of the Four Spiritual Techniques, his cultivation level has been steadily improving. It is not a big problem to directly break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining. He just needs to keep practicing.
Thinking of Li Hejun, he decided to ask Shui Ni for help to see if he could find a solution.
"Oh?" Shui Ni glanced at Lu Zhong unexpectedly.
If it were an ordinary monk, he might just abandon the mortal. How could he waste the opportunity to ask questions to the foundation-building monk to find a solution?
From this point of view, this apprentice has a decent character.
What you fear most about taking on a disciple is, of course, meeting a white-eyed wolf.
In the classics, various incidents of "a teacher is kind and a disciple is filial" appear repeatedly.
"My good disciple, if you had told me earlier, my master could have directly transplanted her blood and marrow, but now... I have to use another method." Shui Ni sighed and took out a jade slip. .
Lu Zhong took it and his face changed slightly after looking at it.
What Shui Ni gave out was a book of dual cultivation techniques, all of which contained tonic techniques.
"There is no other way. Who is my good disciple? What you want to save is just a mortal girl..." Shui Ni rarely restrained her smile and spread her hands helplessly: "Now, this is the only way."
After such a long time, the power of the spiritual fruit has already penetrated deeply into the limbs and bones, becoming indistinguishable from the flesh and blood of the whole body.
Even if people are used as medicine to refine it, not many useful ingredients can be produced.
If you want to solve it, you can only use the supplement method.
Use this girl's skill to extract the medicinal power of the spiritual fruit.
Seeing Lu Zhong looking at him with a strange expression, Shui Ni smiled and said, "I have killed a lot of demon cultivators recently. Isn't it normal to have such a book of techniques?"
It’s normal…that’s weird!
Who would carry such a book with them?
Also, whose master would teach his disciples the art of collecting tonic?
Lu Zhong complained a few words in his mind. He thought of the benefits of taking supplements, but he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Soon he said goodbye to Shui Ni and came to Wangxian Town.
When he told Li Hejun the solution, the other person's neck turned red visibly, and it rushed straight to his face. He grabbed the corners of his clothes tightly and finally let out a soft hum.
…
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Zhong felt refreshed after exercising and got up from the bed.
Walking to the quiet room next to it, Bing Xin Jue quickly calmed down and began to meditate.
As a beneficiary of the Girl Skill, he has benefited a lot from it. The medicinal power of the spiritual fruits harvested are all extremely pure spiritual energy, which is continuously transformed into cultivation after refining.
Therefore, it took more than a year to break through the seventh level of Qi refining, but there are still faint signs of breakthrough.
"It's just that the medicinal power of the spiritual fruit has been harvested very little recently. It seems that if you want to make a breakthrough, you can only rely on yourself." Lu Zhong refined all the spiritual energy of the new spiritual fruit before slowly finishing his work.
Chance is not the norm. He knows this very well, but he doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.
For a long time, in the back hall of the workshop, beside the gurgling river.
The fragrance of tea lingers, accompanied by the fragrance of books and beauties.
Li Hejun stood up and poured a cup of spiritual tea for Lu Zhong who was studying.
Today, her youthfulness has faded, her appearance has become more beautiful and charming, and the accelerated aging of her body has stopped. If she takes more supplements in the future, she may be able to live to the normal lifespan of a mortal.
"Sir, the sales of storybooks have dropped significantly recently..."
Lu Zhong held up the tea cup, closed the spell book in his hand, and asked, "Has anyone found out the reason?"
Li Hejun had already prepared and dug out a file.
In order to get information, she spent hundreds of spirit stones to find out the news.
"It's the Hong Xiuxian family from Xiaohongshan. They repeatedly pirated copies of our printed scripts and resold them at low prices, causing us to lose 20% of our sales."
"The monk with the highest cultivation level in this family."
"According to the information currently available, the family leader Hong Lingyue has the highest cultivation level. He has been able to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining for many years. It is said that he is related to a foundation-building elder, so he always behaves arrogantly."
"How arrogant... Forget it, needless to say." Lu Zhong put down the tea cup in his hand and looked towards the west calmly.
As his most important source of income at present, there must be no mistakes in the sales of scripts. Otherwise, he would not be able to afford his huge annual expenses just from making talismans, let alone saving spiritual stones to buy foundation-building pills.
Cutting off the path to wealth is like destroying the road!
With such deep hatred, even the Immortal Cultivator family could not let Lu Zhong swallow this breath.
Well, Master Cheap seems to be in the cave all the time lately.
Maybe... she should be asked to step forward.
