In the days that followed, Lu Zhong's life returned to normal.
I meditate and refine my Qi every day. I am constantly absorbing Xingyang Gang. At the same time, I have not dropped the second level of Nongyan Jue. However, the speed of cultivation is extremely slow, so I can only persevere slowly and slowly.
As for the second level of the Jade Vein Skill, since the elixir needed was really expensive and the main ingredient required was hard to find, he had no choice but to put it down for the time being.
His life was simple and calm, but for Lu Zhong, this was the best thing.
Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
After nearly five years of study, he finally had the ability to interpret Yin Bangwen.
Starting from the basic characters, and based on the grammar learned from the old cultivator, I analyzed and translated the silver scripts on the silver tablets one by one, and finally formed a stack of nearly 100,000 words of manuscripts.
"Jiamu Thunder Technique?" Lu Zhong's body trembled and his breathing suddenly became rapid.
Jiamu generates thunder, this is a method of Yang thunder.
In the world of cultivation, there has always been a saying.
Weapon repair is respected by sword repair.
As for Fa Cultivator, Lei Cultivator is the strongest.
It is recognized that physical attack and magic attack are the two strongest.
"I didn't expect that what was recorded in the silver tablet was actually an extremely rare thunder technique!" Lu Zhong suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued reading. His face suddenly looked ugly, and then he slapped his head in annoyance and said with a wry smile: "I forgot The difference between the ancient and modern worlds of cultivation is that this Jiamulei method is an ancient cultivation method, adhering to a different practice idea from today's magic..."
A long time has passed, and naturally there can be no progress in the world of cultivation.
Whether it is abandoning the difficult-to-learn golden seal script or changing the process of practicing magic, it is a concrete manifestation.
There are also pills, which have also been improved step by step.
According to records in ancient books, the elixirs in ancient times were called "Great elixirs" by later generations. It was not that the elixirs were as big as goose eggs, but that the medicinal properties contained in them were higher than those of today's elixirs, often three to four hundred times. medicinal properties.
Such an elixir would take at least three or two years to be completely refined.
Today, such elixirs are no longer in line with the pace of life of today's monks. After all, the spiritual resources in the world of cultivation today are not as good as those in ancient times. If monks want to obtain enough spiritual resources, they have to get involved in various arts of cultivation, or It's making talismans or cultivating spiritual plants.
Therefore, small pills that can be refined in as long as three to five days or as short as one day, and are relatively cheap, have become popular in the world of cultivation, and have gradually replaced the status of big pills.
Pulling back his divergent thoughts, Lu Zhong looked at this ancient cultivation technique and smiled bitterly.
This Jiamu Lei method is actually good.
As long as it can be cultivated, it will definitely be an excellent way to protect the Tao, and maybe it can be used forever in the future.
The trouble now is that the cultivation conditions can no longer be described as harsh, and the spiritual objects required inside are none of the ones he has ever heard of or seen, and they are all extremely rare things.
This is the difference between ancient magic and modern magic. In ancient times, monks learned the simplest and most direct magic. There were no tools such as magic hand seals to assist them. They could coincide with the way of heaven and facilitate the mastery of magic. Therefore, they could only learn it with the help of external spiritual objects. .
"Old Thunder Stone, Fantasy Fairy Orchid, Condensing Silver Marrow... what are these!"
Sighing, he put it in his storage bag.
There is still hope for the Shocking Thorn, but this armored wood thunder method...
Without thinking much, Lu Zhong opened the door and went out.
In the past three years, many changes have taken place outside.
The turmoil caused by the great witch Shengman finally subsided half a year ago. However, the once peaceful border was turned into a mess. The cultivating families who originally settled there began to move towards the north of Lingyue Immortal City on a large scale. Moved, so there has been a lot of excitement in the city recently.
What follows is inevitable chaos.
Competition between foreign forces and local forces.
Various conflicts caused by foreign monks who lacked training resources to obtain resources also stirred up Lingyue Immortal City into chaos. Even if the Law Enforcement Palace was vigorously suppressing it, it was difficult to calm down the situation for a while.
Fortunately, this does not affect Lu Zhong.
In fact, the demand for talismans generated by the substantial increase in the number of monks, and the resulting concerns about personal safety, have actually made the business of the talisman shop booming.
Under the lush tea trees, Lu Zhong sipped tea leisurely.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and it was Li Hejun who came in with Bai Ling.
Three years have passed, and there have been some changes between the two of them.
Although Li Hejun has been taking beauty pills, the traces of time are inevitably left on her body. From her youthful body at the beginning, she has transformed into the pear-shaped figure she is today, and she can be called a beautiful woman.
As for Bai Ling, he is worthy of being a monk with spiritual roots. Apart from his slightly mature appearance, he has hardly seen any changes. However, his cultivation has increased a lot. He finally broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining a while ago.
"What's wrong?" Lu Zhong put down the teacup and asked.
Li Hejun's eyebrows frowned slightly, and you could not see her expression like this on weekdays.
Seeing Lu Zhong, Li Hejun saluted, and then replied: "Sir, a group of immortal masters came outside the door just now. They said they were from the 'Xunjiang Association'. The leading immortal master was a true cultivator of foundation building. He made a request, let We pay a tribute of one hundred spiritual stones for tea every year."
Tea fee?
Lu Zhong frowned. The tea for a hundred spirit stones was not a big deal, but the wool was on the sheep. When the tea fee was paid every year, he would specifically look for the small fish and shrimps from the river patrol meeting.
What really made him frown was the information hidden behind it.
Lingyue Immortal City also has a similar saying about tea fees, but it is an unwritten rule to pay filial piety to the Law Enforcement Hall, so that it can be convenient for the Law Enforcement Hall, and it is considered a good thing for you and me.
"Where did they come from? Forget it..."
Thoughts were surging in Lu Zhong's mind, and he raised his head and asked, "What's the attitude of the Shaw's Treasure Appraisal Pavilion opposite? Have you paid for the tea?"
"It was shopkeeper Zhang who personally came forward to invite the 'River Patrol Party' in." Li Hejun said, as if he wanted to understand something, his eyes lit up and he said: "I know!"
Lu Zhong nodded, but did not let Li Hejun handle it and decided to go out in person.
When I brought the two girls to the front of the hall, I could see a group of imposing monks. Each of them had a high level of cultivation, at least in the late stage of Qi refining. The leader, as Li Hejun said, was really a foundation builder. True cultivation, but cultivation is only in the early stages.
"The Rebirth of Financial Giants"
This man had disheveled hair and was wearing an old robe, but his aura was fierce and iron-blooded. At a glance, it was obvious that he was killed from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood. He was very obviously different from the monks in the city.
Originally he was sitting in the hall with his big horse and golden sword, but when he saw Lu Zhong coming out, he slowly stood up.
The world of cultivation values respect for strength. Since Lu Zhong is in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, he is not something he can despise in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Otherwise, it is normal for him to be taught a lesson.
"Feng Gutian, the manager of Xunjiang Huifang, has met fellow Daoist Lu!"
"Lv Zhong of Qingliu Talisman Shop has met fellow Daoist Feng." Lu Zhong replied politely.
Originally it was just a guess in his mind, but now that he has met Queen Feng Gutian, he is finally sure.
That is, in order to quickly assess the order in the city, the Law Enforcement Hall directly sold Lu Zhong's shops to quell the needs of this group of border monks to obtain resources.
It's no wonder that the Shao Family Treasure Appraisal Pavilion, who has a real Jindan background, would change his usual nostril attitude and respectfully invite the Xunjiang Club into the shop.
Alas, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Thinking of this sentence in his heart, Lu Zhong was filled with emotion.
You don't need to think about it to know that there must be a real Jindan platform behind the river patrol meeting.
Afterwards, Feng Gutian and others were sent away. He hurriedly went to Xu Tianqing's house. After some understanding, he found out that the facts were as expected. Lingyue Fairy City had now been completely divided by gangs, big and small, and there were all standing behind them. A true Jindan.
But Lu Zhong couldn't understand why the Lingyue Sect would sit back and watch the chaos in the city.
You know, they have always regarded this city as a forbidden city.
The existence of gangs does not contribute to the stability of order at all, and will only encourage the breeding of more darkness.
After another visit to Liu Piao Niang, Jin Dan's information was indeed higher and broader, and he finally got a rough answer from her.
But it was the border monk who presented a black bead to Lingyue Sect.
"Although this statement is reluctant, it is not unreasonable. No wonder the Lingyue Sect is willing to cut off the flesh. I am afraid that this black bead is not simple. What is the specific method? When Shen Yuan Palace opens in eight years, maybe we will know .”
Lu Zhong, who knew the answer, wanted to leave with an excuse.
Unexpectedly, Liu Piao Niang stopped her.
She looked Lu Zhong up and down, and finally showed a satisfied expression on her face, and said with a smile: "You, junior, have come at the right time. I have a great benefit for you."
When Lu Zhong heard what Liu Piao Niang said, he didn't believe her nonsense at all.
However, he still said respectfully on the surface: "Senior, please make it clear!"
"Three days ago, I received an invitation here to attend the 'Tea Tasting Party'. There will be a fine 'Yunshan Wulong'. This tea has the effect of improving your qualifications. I think this The benefits are not small, right?" Liu Piao Niang said this and looked at Lu Zhong with a smile.
Lu Zhong admitted that this Yunshan Wulong Spirit Tea was indeed very attractive to him.
It's just that pie will not fall from the sky, and there will probably be some pits buried behind it.
Seeing that he lowered his head and said nothing, Liu Piao Niang pinched Su Xu'er next to her for some reason, and sighed: "This tea is not just something you can drink casually. The prerequisite is that you have to have the foundation building level, and you have to A competition was conducted in advance to determine the qualifications. My stupid apprentice is not strong enough and has no chance of success, so I need to use the help of a junior like you."
I see.
Lu Zhong thought to himself, if this is the case, there is no harm in taking action.
However, since the other party is asking for it, I'm afraid it's because they really can't find a suitable candidate, otherwise they wouldn't just randomly bring someone in.
This thoughtful look was seen by Liu Piao Niang, and she couldn't help but frown.
He is young but has a lot of thoughts!
You don't need to think about it to know that you are preparing to bargain.
Later, Lu Zhong tentatively made a request. It was the last elixir he still lacked in refining the soul-nourishing liquid. Maybe it could be satisfied by Liu Piaoniang. After all, the golden elixir monks and the foundation-building monks were at different levels. The level of things will also be higher. Maybe what is rare in the eyes of true cultivators will become rare and common in their eyes.
"Junior wants three drops of melting spirit water." Lu Zhong said after thinking deeply.
The Shocking Thorn is extremely effective. Although it is no different to the growth of cultivation, the city is becoming more and more chaotic at the moment. The addition of such a spiritual secret technique will greatly improve the strength.
But the most important thing is that this technique has the effect of slightly increasing the intensity of spiritual consciousness.
This was what he had guessed after studying the Shocking God Stab technique.
It is very difficult to improve spiritual consciousness. It is basically fixed by nature. Only when the realm is broken can it rise slightly.
Those spiritual objects that have the effect of increasing spiritual consciousness are all extremely rare and rare.
According to records in the classics, the strength of spiritual consciousness will also affect the success rate of forming an elixir. Therefore, after Lu Zhong obtained this operation, he immediately began to think about practicing this secret technique that could increase the probability of forming an elixir in a disguised manner.
"Rongling water? What do you, a junior, want with this thing?" Liu Piao Niang frowned slightly and asked with a strange look on her face.
Before Lu Zhong could answer, she waved her hand again and said, "That's all, since you want it, I'll give it to you, but I can only give you one drop now, and I have to wait for the remaining two drops to refine it for you."
"Thank you, senior!" Lu Zhong was overjoyed after hearing this. He didn't expect that the other party really had it.
Just hearing this meaning, it feels like it was refined by Liu Piao Niang herself.
Seeing the expression on Lu Zhong's face, Liu Piaoniang took the initiative to explain: "Rong Ling Shui is actually an anonymous name. The correct term is called Faded Gold Liquid. It is a waste elixir liquid that was forced out by the Golden elixir monks when they were refining their mana. But for a true cultivator of foundation building, even this elixir full of impurities is still an extremely pure spiritual liquid."
All right!
Lu Zhong understood the origin of Rong Ling Shui and thought to himself, no wonder he couldn't buy it. It turned out that even the name was wrong.
As for what the elixir is, he has seen it in the classics.
The content inside the golden elixir condensed by the monks is the elixir liquid.
Subsequently, the two parties signed a spiritual contract.
Liu Piao Niang entered the quiet room and came out with a tired look after more than half an hour. She flicked her onion finger and released a drop of colorful liquid. This substance was gold-melting liquid, exuding extremely strong aura.
When Lu Zhong saw it, he quickly received it in a thin-necked jade bottle, not forgetting to add a few seals to prevent the spiritual energy from being lost.
"Okay, you can set off now. The tea tasting party will be held after sunset." Liu Piao Niang said a little tiredly after refining her magic power.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong led Su Xuer out of the cave.
After calling a beast cart, the two of them headed straight to the north of the city.
