afterwards.
Lu Zhong left feeling refreshed.
He soon arrived at Shuini Cave Mansion and was received quickly after paying his respects.
Seeing Lu Zhong, Shui Ni had just exited the state of exercising. She first put away the bottles and jars on the ground, then stood up from under the laurel tree, then stretched again, and then said with a smile:
"My good disciple, there is something difficult for me to do as a master, so I would like to trouble you to take care of it."
"Master, if you have anything to do, just give me your orders. Disciples should obey their duties." Lu Zhong agreed.
Seeing that Lu Zhong was so happy, Shui Ni showed a satisfied smile, turned over his hand and took out a jade talisman, handed it to him and said: "My good disciple, please keep this Golden Palace Secret Talisman. It is considered as part of the reward paid to you in advance by the master. The rest is The next ones will be settled together after the protection tasks are completed."
Lu Zhong took the Golden Palace Secret Talisman. Although his expression did not change, he was extremely happy in his heart.
When he was wiping out the Moon Watching Toad before, he had encountered quite a bit of danger. If it were an ordinary inner disciple, he would have died on the spot. But fortunately, with the golden talisman given by Shui Ni, he finally managed to hold on to the three disciples. The siege of the Moon-Watching Toad was solved one by one.
Now I got another one, bringing my total to two.
Continuing to listen to Shui Ni's words, Lu Zhong was asked to protect a mortal village.
"Originally, this was supposed to be a mission for the disciples to complete, but I am really worried about it. After all, that mortal village has some connections with me. In addition, my dear disciple, you have performed well in the clearing mission recently. , I was also surprised to be called my master! I heard that my master had also mentioned your name, my good disciple, so I planned to entrust this matter to you."
After Shui Ni finished speaking, he handed over a letter asking for help.
Lu Zhong took it and opened it, and found that it was from Shuihuan Village. He said that a lot of things had happened in the village recently, so he sent a letter specifically to ask the immortal master for help. The letter also included half of a fish-shaped jade pendant.
The shape of the jade pendant is simple and simple, with aura flickering on the surface. It does not look like a mortal thing.
Rubbing the back of the jade pendant with his fingertips, there were obvious scraping marks.
Seeing the half of the jade pendant, the smile on Shui Ni's face gradually faded, and she took out a similar piece of jade pendant from her sleeve and put it together with the half of the jade pendant in the envelope. It was a perfect fit.
She looked at the fish-shaped jade pendant, with a look of nostalgia in her eyes. After a while, she said: "In Shuihuan Village, there is a treasure land of opportunity that I got a few years ago. My dear disciple, you can use this jade pendant to unlock the outer world." The seal restricts it, and if you go inside to practice, your speed will not be much slower than in the door."
Handing the fish-shaped jade pendant to Lu Zhong, Shui Ni explained the protection mission in detail.
"The protection mission lasts for three years. My master has sent people to investigate in advance. It is probably some casual cultivators who have practiced side arts that are harming mortals. My good disciple, you don't need to deal with them. You just need to protect the mortals in the village from harm." But, if..." At this point, she paused, returned to her usual smiling face, and said softly: "If someone doesn't listen, just let them go. After all, the promise I made to my teacher back then can't be saved. It’s just an agreement.”
Lu Zhong was relieved after hearing this.
It is quite simple to protect a fixed place for three years and have a place to practice.
"I'll redeem three years' worth of secret pattern pills later. By the way... this time, I'll also redeem the spells I need to learn for the Flying Star Lineage in advance, so as not to waste these three years of good time!"
He was thinking silently in his mind and was already planning his future schedule.
"By the way, I have a secret skill here. I asked for it for you, my dear disciple, after I killed Yu Qing last time." Shui Ni seemed to suddenly hear a sound and took out a jade slip from his sleeve and handed it out. .
Lu Zhong took it and couldn't help but look happy after reading it.
The jade slips record a secret technique called "Ju Yuan Method".
After practicing this secret technique, you can increase the success rate of foundation building by half. This alone is enough to make the monks outside fight for it, not to mention that practicing this secret technique has an additional benefit, that is, it can increase the number of monks. Thirty percent of the total amount of spiritual power, combined with the four spiritual arts, is a perfect match.
"How about this secret technique that I chose for my teacher? Isn't it pretty good?" Shui Ni said with a smile. She knew Lu Zhong's qualifications and knew how difficult it was for the Four Spirit Root monks to build a foundation, so she did not hesitate to use her identity to make a special trip. Go to Feixing Peak to find Qiongtai Patriarch in exchange for this secret technique.
But she would not tell Lu Zhong about this.
"Thank you, Master!" Lu Zhong bowed his hands and saluted respectfully.
It can be said that my impression of this master is getting better and better.
…
After coming out of Shuini Cave Mansion, Lu Zhong suppressed the smile on his face and walked towards the Qianshan disciples' residential area. He was going to take back the rent of the spirit-seeking rats and was planning how to reach Shuihuan Village.
He already knew the location of Shuihuan Village from Shui Ni.
It is located in the north of the Yongling area, which is the most densely populated place in the Heling sect's territory. It is ruled by a small country named Shidong supported by the sect. The current kings of the country are all surnamed Ge. It is said that Tuo Zhongtuo is the leader of the country. The blood descendant of the ancestor of the Yang line.
The two places are thousands of miles apart, so it is best to rent a red-tailed eagle to save time.
I was thinking as I walked, and soon came to a small private courtyard.
He knocked lightly on the brass ring of the door, but no one responded.
After waiting for a long time, a passing Heling Sect disciple stopped and kindly reminded: "Senior Brother, don't you know that Senior Brother Chen unfortunately died in the Jinhong Sect a few days ago because he was sent to the battlefield by the sect? By the hands of sword cultivators, I heard that even the corpses were not intact..."
"Ah this..." Lu Zhong was speechless.
It is said that investment is risky, and he experienced it firsthand.
Could it be that the soul-seeking rat worth nearly a thousand spirit stones was completely gone like this?
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Lu Zhong saluted the kind-hearted junior sister and thanked her for the reminder.
Helpless, he had no choice but to walk towards the Chuan Gong Hall.
When passing by the "Treasure Hall" where the sect's treasury is located, I didn't forget to go in and exchange three years of secret grain pills. Then I crossed a series of covered bridges and walked through the cloud-filled mountains for a while, arriving at the Chuan Gong Hall.
It seemed like an unlucky time, the foundation-building master uncle on duty inside turned out to be Master Shui Ni's enemy Hong Biyun.
Next to her, there was a pretty female cultivator standing. It seemed that she had been scolded just now, and her eyes were slightly red at the moment.
Hong Biyun looked at Lu Zhong, and naturally recognized that this was Shui Ni's only disciple, but her expression was not as cold as last time, and she was no different from how she treated other disciples.
After registering as usual, she said quietly: "Okay, just go in."
Lu Zhong took his identity card, bowed his hands and walked towards the Chuan Gong Hall.
After Lu Zhong's figure disappeared from the restriction, the pretty female cultivator next to Hong Biyun asked curiously: "Master, is that the disciple that Uncle Shui took on? In addition to looking good, he feels There doesn’t seem to be anything outstanding about him, it’s really hard to believe that he is actually someone named and praised by Grandmaster Lou Xing!”
"People should not be judged by their appearance, Yun'er, you have to remember this, don't just look at people by their appearance..." Hong Biyun seized the opportunity and began to teach her apprentice again, leaving the pretty female cultivator with a bitter look on her face, but she still managed to survive. You can only listen honestly, so as not to be caught and get scolded.
"...I understand, master, I remember it, really!"
…
Lu Zhong entered the Chuan Gong Hall and quickly found the branch hall of Feixing inheritance.
Since it is inheritance, the spells learned naturally come in sets. When carefully matched, these spell combinations can exert extremely powerful power, which is also the biggest feature that distinguishes sect monks from casual cultivators.
"I found it, it's this "Flying Star Heritage"!"
When I opened this inheritance introduction book, I saw that it was filled with introductions to spells. Almost half of them were labeled with the word "Flying Star", which made people suspect that these spells were all secrets that had not been passed down.
However, after reading it, he realized that he had guessed wrong.
According to the book, these flying star spells should be called inheritance spells.
"The Flying Star Air Conduction Technique, the guidance method of the Flying Star Spell!"
According to reports, if you want to cast the flying star spell, this guidance method is indispensable.
"Interesting, is it similar to the breathing method of Qingyang Fire Rain Technique? It's just that the Feixing lineage went a step further and directly replaced it with an extremely special spiritual power guidance method, making it almost non-existent for outsiders before they got this secret technique. It’s possible to learn this flying star spell.”
Lu Zhong flipped through the pages, his eyes gradually lighting up.
Especially when I saw an inheritance spell called "Flying Star Fire Rain Technique" that was similar to the Qingyang Fire Rain Technique, I couldn't help but regret in my heart, regretting not choosing the Flying Star inheritance earlier.
Flying Star Fire Rain Technique, an enhanced version of Qingyang Fire Rain Technique.
As an inherited spell, it has its own uniqueness, and the power of the spell can be freely adjusted, whether it is the violent bombardment of fire and rain like a "heavy rain", or the gentle burning of a "continuous drizzle".
As long as you master the Flying Star Flame Rain Technique, you can do whatever you want.
This point is much better than the Qingyang Fire Rain Technique, which has a fixed power. It can accurately control the consumption of spiritual power.
The book even mentions that if you can master it thoroughly, you can also cast deceptive spells, that is, spells that look powerful but actually have no power at all to confuse your opponents.
"Sure enough, I have accepted the word 'changeable'. I'm afraid it's not that difficult if you want to play with your opponent's applause!" Lu Zhong sighed in his heart, gaining a new understanding of Feixing's lineage.
However, he was not prepared to do this, and believed in the simple and crude truth of "power makes a big brick fly".
This kind of inherited spell can be changed at will. As long as enough spiritual power is input, it is absolutely the perfect spell to use fireballs to clean the ground. It is suitable for monks like Lu Zhong who have practiced the Four Spiritual Arts and are planning to practice the Yuan Gathering Technique in the future. , the two are simply a match made in heaven.
Keep reading, the spells are dazzling.
After reading it, Lu Zhong suddenly discovered that Feixing's lineage did not seem to be preparing to practice body skills, but wanted to pass on the inherited spells one after another to make up for the deficiencies in body skills.
Just like "Star Step", it is a short-distance displacement spell.
The effect is somewhat similar to the legendary teleportation. It cannot reach an exaggerated distance of thousands of feet. It can only dodge and move within a range of ten inches, which is similar to the normal movement distance.
"No wonder..." Lu Zhong saw a look of understanding in his eyes.
When he watched Senior Sister Feng compete earlier, he had wondered why this woman's movements were so agile and elegant, and her dodge and move speed was so fast that even the Xuan Yue lineage who practiced swords couldn't keep up with her dodge speed. It turned out that It was actually because of the inherited spell of Star Movement.
After understanding it, Lu Zhong walked out of the branch hall and came to Hongbiyun.
"Uncle Hong, this disciple wants to redeem the Flying Star inheritance."
"Well, are you choosing the Feixing inheritance?" Hong Biyun didn't show any surprise when she saw his choice, as if that was how it should be. After all, Shui Ni belonged to the Feixing lineage.
It is normal for master and disciple to come from the same origin.
"According to the sect's rules, since you are an inner disciple recruited in the ranking battle, you should get an opportunity for initiation. If you are sure, then come with me." Hong Biyun said lightly.
Even though she had issues with Shui Ni, she could still distinguish between public and private matters.
Lu Zhong nodded and followed Hong Biyun to a side hall.
Entering this closely guarded side hall, you can see that the huge palace is empty, except for a shimmering light blue ban in the center, which faintly emits a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation.
"Just go in and choose Feixing inheritance." Hong Biyun reminded.
"Disciple understands!" Lu Zhong bowed his hands and walked towards the ban.
The so-called restriction is actually divided into big and small. The large restriction is a variant of the magic circle. It is usually composed of multiple magic circles, so it has powerful power.
This restriction located in the Chuan Gong Hall does not require much thought to know its general function.
In addition to transmitting skills, it will definitely have the function of verifying the aura of the soul and preventing outsiders from stealing the inheritance.
Reaching out to touch the restricted surface, Lu Zhong suddenly felt like he was being looked at.
This state lasted for several breaths, and then three choices appeared on the surface of the restriction, namely "Xuanyue", "Feixing" and "Tuoyang", representing the three major inheritances of Heling Sect.
Lu Zhong had already made up his mind and directly chose the "Flying Star" inheritance.
Immediately, a series of techniques and techniques emerged in his mind. It was the complete Qi Refining of Feixing inheritance, including techniques and all supporting spells. Naturally, all the inherited spells were included.
At the same time, a warning sound came.
"Those who are inherited will have confidentiality restrictions imprinted on their souls. If the inheritance is leaked, whether it is actively or through soul searching, the restrictions and countermeasures will be triggered. I hope you will be careful in your words and deeds!"
Lu Zhong's heart trembled, and he kept this warning in mind.
When he came back to his senses, the light in the restriction in front of him had converged and returned to its original state.
Seeing that Hong Biyun had left, Lu Zhong also withdrew from the side hall.
"Now that all preparations have been completed, it's time to set off!"
…
Lu Zhong rode the red-tailed eagle and rode at lightning speed along the way.
Occasionally, I could meet other monks, but they ignored them and just kept on going. After flying for a whole day and night, we finally arrived at a place called "Tail'er City".
The reason why I came here was to pick up the water and call the village chief.
The distress letter was sent by this person and passed through the monk family in Wei'er City before reaching Shui Ni's hands.
In order to facilitate the subsequent protection, Lu Zhong felt that it was still necessary to call the village chief after receiving water. He thought that if the communication was good, it would save him a lot of trouble.
Ten miles outside the city, Lu Zhong jumped off the red-tailed eagle.
Taking out a piece of Yin sickle rat meat was regarded as a reward for it.
After the red-tailed eagle finished eating, he returned the "Beast Control Order" and turned around to walk towards Tail'er City.
