In the days that followed, Lu Zhong was obsessed with practicing.
With enough spiritual stones, he didn't have to worry about the pills to increase his cultivation. From one pill every three days in Liuyun Mountain, it was increased to one pill a day, which brought about a rapid increase in his cultivation.
I have to say that the Yin Yuan effect of the female cultivator is really very effective.
Lu Zhong was originally worried that his rapid improvement in cultivation would make his true energy become irritated, but he never thought that after practicing more, the effect would be similar to that of the previous hard training, only a little vain.
I thought that as long as I refined it occasionally, I could eliminate hidden dangers.
At the same time, the effect of forging spiritual fire is gradually revealed.
Although the Jinyang insect fire is just a make-up, the forged spiritual fire made from it as firewood can still purify the true essence, which is no less effective than taking some pills to purify erysipelas.
Thanks to this, Lu Zhong finally succeeded in breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building after a year of silent cultivation.
Feeling the sea of true energy expanding like a spring in his dantian, his face was filled with joy, and he secretly thought that after investing nearly ten thousand spirit stones into it, he finally got a satisfactory harvest.

But Lu Zhong's expression quickly fell again.
Compared with his progress in spiritual practice, the talisman shop he opened failed to achieve expected profits. He encountered a situation similar to that when Huang Shuyuan first arrived in Yanlingshanfang City, where the talismans he made could not be sold at high prices.
In such a huge Lingyue Fairy City, the intensity of competition in all walks of life was far beyond Lu Zhong's imagination.
In Xianyi Square alone, there are three large and small talisman shops.
Under this situation, even though he has a relatively rare flying talisman, he is still not competitive enough in front of those large chambers of commerce, so he can only sell by reducing profits.
Therefore, a flying talisman sold for thirty spiritual stones has a profit of only twenty spiritual stones.
The profits are low, but there are often unsalable sales.
This situation really made Lu Zhong depressed for a while.
He probably wanted to make the business of the talisman shop boom, but he was afraid that he would have to wait until he learned the rare talismans to attract a large number of customers, otherwise it would have to remain in this tepid state.
Fortunately, the income from the spiritual stones in the newly built printing workshop is pretty good.
Relying on the hundreds of classic storybooks that he had read in his previous life, the printing workshop has made very good profits. It can also earn more than a thousand spiritual stones every month, which can just offset the daily expenses.
After gathering himself and pushing the sleeping Li Hejun and Bai Ling away from him, Lu Zhong got up from the wet bed, took a few cleansing charms on his body, and prepared to visit a foundation-building monk he had just met.
Since making talismans didn't work, he was going to try making money through formations.
Compared with the simple talisman making, it is almost impossible to successfully enter the formation path through self-study without inheriting it or becoming a disciple of a famous master. Therefore, even I am only a half-full second-level formation master. , Lu Zhong still pinned his hopes on it.
No, the purpose of visiting the foundation-building monk was to accept a formation commission.
By the way, I also want to integrate into the foundation building circle of Lingyue Immortal City.
After reaching the foundation building stage, Lu Zhong increasingly felt the difficulty of fighting alone.
Occasionally, when a treasure comes out, he is always the last one to know about it. It is not like the protagonist in the novel, who has a bunch of opportunities and benefits lined up to deliver them. It is estimated that if he doesn't make changes, he will have to be honest. A talisman maker makes a living selling talismans.
This is safe, but if you want to obtain a pill-forming spiritual object, your chances are slim.
Moreover, being part of a circle is also very helpful for spiritual practice.
Participate in one or two exchange meetings from time to time, not only to gain information and intelligence, but also to hear other people's experiences. This is much better than being alone with a book and hiding in a quiet room to meditate.
Soon, the beast carriage stopped in front of an imposing mansion.
This is the residence of a monk surnamed Xu, whom Lu Zhong met when he was taking the second-level formation mage assessment.
This person's full name is Xu Tianqing, and he is currently in the late stage of foundation building. Because he likes to support younger generations, he is also considered a celebrity in the foundation building circle of Lingyue Immortal City.
Lu Zhong chose him as his guide to integrate into the circle.
For this reason, let alone the gift of nearly a thousand spiritual stones invested.
"It's Fellow Daoist Lu, please come in quickly!" An old man with a short beard happened to be at the door. Sensing Lu Zhong's cultivation coming out of the car, he immediately smiled and said, "It just so happens that there are other fellow Daoists visiting today. We'll be waiting for you soon." Let me introduce you to my fellow Taoist!"
This person is Xu Tianqing, and his attitude today is much more enthusiastic than usual.
"Thank you!" Lu Zhong said with a smile and cupped his hands.
In my heart, I was secretly thinking that after working for so long, it seemed that I had finally gained something.
Of course, the breakthrough in cultivation is also an important reason.
The foundation-building monks in Lingyue Fairy City benefited from the reduced difficulty in obtaining foundation-building auxiliary spiritual objects, so the number is actually not small. It is said that there are nearly a thousand people.
Most of them were in the early stages of foundation building, so it was normal for him not to be taken seriously before.
As he walked and talked, he soon came to a hall filled with the aroma of wine.
There are already many monks sitting inside, basically all of them are in the Foundation Establishment stage, and there are two in the later stage of Foundation Establishment. At this moment, one of them is sitting on the deepest pedestal, talking about his experience in cultivation, Apparently Lu Zhong happened to catch up with an exchange meeting this time.
Seeing the two people coming in, everyone stood up one after another.
"Let me introduce to you. This is Fellow Daoist Lu Zhong who has recently arrived. Don't let me say that I don't care about you all. Fellow Daoist Lu is a second-level formation master. If there is a need to set up formations in the future, you might as well consider Fellow Daoist Lu first. !" Xu Tianqing said happily.
After hearing this, everyone who originally looked down upon Lu Zhong couldn't help but change their views.
I thought he was just an ordinary foundation builder, but I never thought he was an formation mage. The status of the former is far inferior to that of the latter. After all, cultivation is about resources. It is very difficult to earn spiritual stones through general foundation building. Sometimes it takes half a year of hard work to earn less than If you don't go into battle, a mage can make more money by setting up a battle formation.
Faced with everyone's goodwill behavior, Lu Zhongdu responded humbly.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Tianqing introduced the identities of the monks present to Lu Zhong.
Putting aside the ordinary foundation building, Lu Zhong gained something new during this trip. It turned out that the two late-stage foundation building monks present had extraordinary backgrounds. One was a famous adventurous monk who often appeared in various dangerous places. Many famous deeds have been left in the secret realm, and the other one is a celebrity in the foundation-building circle. As long as you successfully get to know him, you will be considered to have successfully integrated into the foundation-building circle of Lingyue Immortal City.
The harvests came one after another, and Lu Zhong felt happy.
Not to mention, there will be an exchange meeting later, and you can gain a lot of practice experience.
