Ganquan Cave.
The fire in the alchemy room was extinguished and there was silence.
Lu Zhong looked at the medicine residue in front of him, feeling very irritable.
He underestimated the difficulty of refining the Grass Spirit Creation Liquid.
The root cause is still due to lack of skill in refining the grass spirit pill.
"I'm still impetuous! Solving this major problem of the Zhang family has made me feel unstable, as if a villain has succeeded." Lu Zhong pondered for a while, and decided to start from the basics in a down-to-earth manner. Once the rate of refining is above the profit and loss line, try refining the Grass Spirit Creation Liquid again.
The only good news is that although the refining of Cao Ling Creation Liquid failed, most of the Pulse Quenching Creation Liquid was successfully refined.
After all, it is only used as a medicinal bath formula, and the difficulty of refining the medicinal liquid is far less than that of refining an elixir.
Although the storage time of the refined pulse quenching creation liquid is a bit short, it is good as long as it is used up in time. In order to be able to practice the second level of Jade Vein Skill as soon as possible, it is worth the hard work.
After gathering himself, Lu Zhong waved his sleeves, crushed the garbage into powder and took it away before leaving Ganquan Cave.
The time is approaching the "tide period", and the beasts outside Ganquan Island roar one after another.
The sea water turned dark blue, and huge waves came one after another, hinting at the unrest in the sea.
After entering the tide period, the activities of sea beasts were obviously much more active. What Lu Zhong saw when he came alone was that three sea beasts climbed onto Ganquan Island. Among them was a rare "Sakura Lantern Salamander". Although this beast was a first-order sea beast. , but the cherry lantern on its head is valuable and is now in his storage bag.
"Crash!"
There was a splash of water, and another sea beast floated in the bay in front of him.
Lu Zhong looked at it with interest, and when he saw that it was a spotted sea liga that was of little value, he withdrew his gaze. Not only was this beast full of poison, it was difficult to kill, and the materials could not be sold at a high price, so there was no need to hunt it.
Knead the secrets, recite the mantra, and use the qi-gazing technique.
Looking around Ganquan Island, there are lines of demonic energy rising into the sky.
He had only been refining the elixir for a few days, but the number of sea beasts on the island had increased to eleven.
"I didn't think it was anything before, but now it seems that this 'tide period' is indeed a major obstacle to settlement in the open sea and an important factor leading to the destruction of settlements. If you really want to build a commercial port on Ganquan Island in the future, you must prove The newly built commercial port has the strength to withstand the swarms of sea beasts during the tide, otherwise no ships will be willing to dock..."
Lu Zhong stopped thinking and didn't think about it any more.
Building a commercial port will make huge profits, which will allow the Chengde Chamber of Commerce to take its strength to a higher level and give itself more spiritual stone resources in return.
But we have to wait until he forms the elixir.
Otherwise, even if it is built, it will only be used as a wedding dress for others.
Then, a ray of green light slowly rose from the island and flew straight towards Changchun Fairy City.
…
Lintao Pavilion backyard.
Lu Zhong was dripping with water and in a miserable state.
On the way back, he was unlucky. He encountered a third-order whirlwind conch. This conch was ranked eighty-seventh on the Poseidon List and had the ability to overwhelm rivers and oceans. If it hadn't been attacking a fleet at the time, he would have just taken a photo of it. If he makes a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous.
It's simply outrageous. You can also encounter third-level sea beasts in the inland sea.
"No wonder the monks here are as afraid of the tide period as tigers."
Lu Zhong thought silently in his heart and let the maid help him change his clothes.
He will never take such risks in the future.
He also called the medicine boy and ordered her to prepare the medicine bath room, especially more water. Otherwise, if there is no water in the middle of the practice, the medicine that cannot be absorbed will be wasted.
Spiritual stones are hard to come by, and every little bit you can save is worth it.
Waiting for Yu Feng'er to come over.
The maid came to report that she was too busy with work to spare.
Since the Chengde Chamber of Commerce defeated the Wangxi Chamber of Commerce, Yu Feng'er has been burdened with more things. He is often too busy to work day and night. Lu Zhong knows this very well, and is also worried about whether it will happen if it continues. Even her cultivation level is affected.
"Maybe it's time to reorganize the structure of the Chamber of Commerce." Lu Zhongmo thought.
For now, the personnel structure of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce is still controlled by the chairman of the chamber of commerce.
The advantage is that it can ensure that the chamber of commerce is in control. The disadvantage is that the various affairs are heavy and tiring. The larger the chamber of commerce, the more obvious the disadvantage. Those large chambers of commerce also face the same problem, so they usually branch out into multiple small chambers of commerce to disperse the chambers of commerce. Long-term affairs.
A monk should put strength first.
Involving business is just a means to obtain resources, and we must not put the cart before the horse.
It would be fine if it were anyone else, but Yu Feng'er was different.
After pondering for a while, Lu Zhong "wrote" the structure of the Chamber of Commerce on the talisman paper, and ordered someone to give it to Yu Feng'er, asking her to modify the Chamber of Commerce according to the structure. It doesn't matter even if there is more "loss" or "drift" for this. , after all, if you want the horse to run, you still have to let it eat grass. This is better than working to death yourself and delaying your cultivation in the end.
After doing this, the medicine boy came to report that the medicine bath room was ready.
Lu Zhong took two steps and then remembered that he hadn't served his concubine yet?
The last time Madame Butterfly attacked, both of her concubines were unfortunately killed. Afterwards, they even paid a sum of spiritual stones to their families. In addition to a series of things that happened later, he hasn't gone to pick up the new concubine yet.
"Wait for now, wait until I bring my concubine back." Lu Zhong ordered.
"Yes, sir." Hearing this, the medicine boy bowed and stepped back.
Hurry to the city center.
Although it was not his first time here, Lu Zhong was still surprised by the variety of "goods" here. Not only were there male and female monks from all over the Southern Barbarians, but also the snow girls from Northern Xinjiang with extremely delicate faces, blue Their skin was like gelatin, and the strange thing was that they had two pairs of arms. Standing in front of them, they felt a chill coming over them, which was expected to be most suitable for them in the hot summer.
In addition, the Demon Blood Dancer in the West and the Black Jade Beauty in the East China Sea are both full of exotic characteristics.
I have to sigh, this world of immortality is really evil.
Lu Zhong didn't have any new ideas. His purpose of buying concubines was very clear, which was to help him practice martial arts. He didn't want to buy these concubines of unknown origin, so he planned to buy concubines with spiritual contracts as usual.
In this way, there will be no trouble or future trouble, and secondly, there will be no need to worry about causing trouble to Xiao Qiang.
There are quite a few decent concubines in the Lingshi City. There are female cultivators from the Changchun Region who volunteered to be concubines in order to obtain resources, and there are also those from other Southern Barbarian regions who heard about the prosperity of the Changchun Region. The quality is much better than that in the Lingyue City. But at the same time, the price has also risen, so Lu Zhong had to choose carefully.
If it's too high, don't.
Too thin makes me panic.
After picking and choosing, he still liked the plumper one.
After a while, there were two more concubines behind him. They both had Qi refining skills in their bodies. Their looks were either like a moon or a shy flower, with convex and concave shapes, but they were not like Yangzhou thin horses.
One person is called Jiang Xueqiong. She has a graceful manner and is from a branch of a large family that cultivates immortality.
One person is called Mo Ying, a female Taoist nun from Huanhua Temple.
The conditions for bringing them back are the same. While ensuring the supply of cultivation elixirs, they will also be given fifteen spiritual stones every month. In the future, as their cultivation level increases, the spiritual stones given will increase accordingly. carry.
This is the market price of Changchun Fairy City.
The spiritual contract was signed for ten years. After expiration, under the same conditions, Lu Zhong has priority for renewal.
Priorities may seem ridiculous, but that's how the world works.
If you have the ability to learn the various arts of cultivation and earn spiritual stones, if you don't have the ability, you can only rely on your birth capital and use your body to earn cultivation resources.
This is the same for both men and women.
In the market, there are also many male cultivators waiting for price.
It doesn't matter whether there is dignity or not, after all, the world of immortality laughs at the poor but not at prostitution.
In the future, when someone succeeds in cultivation and establishes a sect, outsiders will still have to respectfully call him "senior" when they see him. If there is anyone who dares to criticize someone behind his back, they can be beaten, killed and burned to vent their anger.
After a thousand years, all the old friends will turn into a handful of loess.
Does anyone remember that the ancestor of a certain clan was once a concubine?
After thinking about it, Lu Zhong was ready to choose another concubine.
After all, Jade Vein Kung Fu cannot be practiced in one day, and it takes at least one hundred times of medicinal bathing.
The three of them took turns, and they still had some breathing space. Otherwise, even the monks' iron-clad bodies wouldn't be able to bear it if they had to assist in practicing every day. One person who wasn't afraid would really cause death.
Just as he was thinking about it, a fragrant wind blew into his arms.
But she is a female cultivator at the seventh level of qi refining, and her appearance is above average.
She has a good temperament, charming and delicate, the kind that I feel pity for.
I don’t know what she did, but a Foundation Establishment cultivator led people to chase her.
Sensing the approaching pursuers, the female cultivator screamed in surprise, grabbed the corner of Lu Zhong's clothes, and begged charmingly: "Senior, I am willing to serve as my concubine, I just ask you to keep my little girl!"
"Oh?" Lu Zhong looked at her with a half-smile.
A flash of inspiration flashed in his eyes, but he used the Qi Watching Technique.
Looking carefully, I am sure it is really Yin Yuan Ti.
This kind of spirit body is two words less than Ruolian Yin Yuan body, but the effect is more than a little worse. It does not have the effect of allowing the monk to break through a small realm. However, the advantage is that the Yin Yuan effect contained is stronger, which is suitable for him at the moment. Necessary for practice.
He raised his eyes and looked at the female cultivator, and concluded that she was someone who wanted to take advantage of others.
Judging from the angry look on the chasing Foundation Establishment monk's face, he was probably not another one who had been deceived.
"Fellow Taoist, please leave this girl to me." The fat, middle-aged monk approached and realized that Lu Zhong's cultivation level was higher than his own, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and said with cupped hands.
"I wonder what the reason is?" Lu Zhong asked.
"Yes..." The person hesitated for a moment and then spoke through the voice.
Just as Lu Zhong guessed, this female cultivator named Shui Sujun is really a cultivator who specializes in making money by virtue of being in the Yin Yuan spirit body and doing business without capital.
First, he uses sweet words to trick people into signing a fake spiritual contract, and then uses drugs to knock them out and escape before doing things.
If the middle-aged man hadn't practiced a secret technique and woke up from the coma in time, he would have lost both his personal and financial fortune.
"This is the process." The middle-aged man said depressedly.
I thought I could go to Changchun Fairy City to eat meat and try something higher-end than my hometown.
But I never thought that I would be slaughtered as a pig.
After Lu Zhong heard this, he almost couldn't help laughing.
But in the end, he still held back, looked at Shui Sujun in his arms, and said, "Just now you said you were willing to be my concubine, can you take it seriously?"
Hearing this, the female cultivator in her arms quickly took out a spiritual contract and said with gratitude: "Yes, senior, please sign this spiritual contract. This little girl is willing to be my concubine for three years to repay senior for saving my life!"
"No, sign this."
Lu Zhong did not look at the spiritual contract handed over by Shui Sujun, but took out a general template. He and Jiang Xueqiong and Mo Ying signed this kind of template spiritual contract before.
"This..." Shui Sujun's expression changed.
"Why, if you don't want to, forget it!" Lu Zhong put away the spiritual contract and left with his two concubines.
At this moment, a law enforcement team came slowly from a distance, and the city was also within the inspection range of the law enforcement team.
When Shui Sujun saw the law enforcement team coming, he finally couldn't help but panic.
She would rather fall into the hands of a middle-aged man and be raped for three to five years than be caught by the law enforcement team.
The minimum penalty at that time is to mine in a bitter mine for ten years.
When the time comes to really come out, after so many years of mining there, I don’t know what I will become.
"No, no, no, my little lady is willing." Shui Sujun was afraid that Lu Zhong would regret it, so he snatched the spiritual contract and dripped his own blood on it, and the contract was completed.
The sound of footsteps approached, and the law enforcement team came over.
"What happened?" The leader of the Changchun Valley Foundation Establishment Captain looked at the middle-aged man's Foundation Establishment Road.
After another voice transmission, after understanding what happened, he also had a smile on his face. He turned to Lu Zhong and politely said: "Pavilion Master Lu, since this woman has committed a crime, please allow us to take her away." Walk."
Although there are many foundations in Changchun Immortal City, there are not many monks in the later stages of foundation building, so their status is only lower than that of Jin Dan Zhenren.
Therefore, the captain is not allowed to treat him rudely.
"Sorry, she is already Lu's concubine, so she should pay the fine according to the rules." Lu Zhong said, handing out a bulging bag. There was a jingle inside, and it looked like it was heavy.
The captain stretched out his hand to take it, weighed it, and showed a knowing smile on his face: "If this doesn't happen again, Fellow Daoist Lu must discipline my concubine well."
Later, under the supervision of the law enforcement team, Sui Sujun returned the property that he defrauded the middle-aged man, and the matter ended.
…
On the way back, Lu Zhong sat in the beast cart, hugging him from left to right.
As for Shui Sujun, he stayed far away.
For a long time, she seemed to have prepared her words, and said tentatively: "Senior, this young lady is willing to pay five thousand spiritual stones to terminate the spiritual contract in advance. Do you think this is feasible?"
"Five thousand, I will consider it only after fifty thousand. Do you know how many spirit stones I gave you just now? Ten thousand!" What Lu Zhong said was true. If he hadn't fallen in love with the Yin Yuan spirit body, he wouldn't have spent a big price. Save this girl.
Ten thousand spiritual stones are enough to sign ten concubines.
It’s not that the true essence is more expensive than the essence.
With the help of Yin Yuan body cultivation, you can avoid mottled true energy in the body. After all, it is troublesome to have many types of Yin Yuan. Also, Shui Sujun is already in the late stage of Qi refining, and the quality of Yin Yuan is much higher than that of ordinary female cultivators in the early stage of Qi refining. .
"But... the strong and twisted melon is not sweet, senior!" Mr. Shui Su said dullly.
"It's okay, just quench your thirst."
Lu Zhong looked indifferent.
Hearing this, Shui Sujun felt despair.
It's over, it's really over!
This time, I just stepped out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den.
She was still unwilling to give in and said again: "I would rather die than surrender!"
"I admire you for your backbone!" Lu Zhong's face turned cold and he said coldly: "I suggest you take a good look at the spiritual contract and fulfill your obligations as a concubine honestly, especially the seventh, thirty-fifth, and the first hundred Article 54: If you really cannot complete the spiritual contract, I suggest you commit suicide as soon as possible to avoid suffering unnecessary pain."
The existence of the spiritual contract not only protects the interests of the concubine, but also protects the concubine seeker.
Depending on the violation of the regulations, the backlash effects will be different.
It ranges from lying down for a year or two to death on the spot.
"I, I'm sobbing..." Shui Sujun cried.
"That's enough, do you think you're still a mortal woman? You cry, make trouble, and hang yourself. Do you really think I'm interested in your body?" Lu Zhong said with disdain.
It is true that Shui Sujun is more beautiful than the two girls in his arms, but it is far behind Yu Feng'er.
"Really?" Shui Sujun stopped crying and looked hopeful.
If this is the case, then it is not impossible for her to be a concubine for three years.
…
In the medicinal bath room, water vapor is lingering.
"Ah, it hurts!"
"It hurts me to death, can't you be gentler?" Shui Sujun shouted.
Lu Zhongcai didn't bother to pay attention to her.
Since you are a "radiator", you should have the consciousness of a radiator.
Sitting cross-legged in the medicine pool, he continued to circulate the Jade Vein Kung Fu.
At the same time, streams of true energy were transferred into Mr. Shui Su's body, and after combining with the yin energy inside, the true energy was no longer as hot as before, but became extremely cool.
During the process, he continued to absorb the power of the Quenching Pulse Recipe.
Water was added over and over again.
Lu Zhong didn't stop until his meridians were almost tempered.
Quenching the meridians cannot be accomplished overnight. Even if he still has a lot of the creation fluid for quenching the meridians, he still needs to use them separately. Otherwise, if he is greedy for temporary quickness, he will damage the meridians, and in the end the gain will not be worth the loss.
Finish.
Shui Sujun supported the wall and came out, and couldn't help but said: "My surname is Lu, I will remember you!"
"I advise you to recognize your position clearly, otherwise you should choose a burial place as soon as possible and lie down in it yourself." Lu Zhong said calmly, but there was a hint of murderous intent in his body.
If Sui Sujun can't recognize the reality, he doesn't mind helping.
Shui Sujun trembled when he heard this and did not dare to speak anymore.
She knew that Lu Zhong was not lying.
If he dares to speak arrogantly again, he may have to choose a place outside the city when the spiritual contract ends.
"Woooooooo..."
The next day, it was Jiang Xueqiong's turn.
On the third day, it was Mo Ying.
The two girls are serious concubines, but they are not as busy as Shui Sujun.
It's all about collecting money to do things, a very simple transaction.
The rotation of three people can maximize the practice efficiency of Jade Vein Gong.
After going back and forth for more than ten rounds, most of the pulse-quenching creation liquid was consumed, and part of Lu Zhong's Great Zhoutian Meridian became jade. His cultivation speed increased again and again. Compared with before practicing the Jade Vein Kung Fu, it was no longer the same.
He estimated that if he could master the three levels of Jade Vein Skill.
The speed at which he can absorb spiritual energy may exceed that of a monk with three spiritual roots.
The future is promising!
…
Fast forward two months later.
In the courtyard, Lu Zhong was lying on the imperial chair.
While sipping the fine spiritual tea, my eyes seemed to be reminiscing about something.
At this time, there were footsteps, but it was Yu Feng'er who finally finished his business at the Chamber of Commerce and was able to get out.
Regardless of her manners, she threw herself into Lu Zhong's arms. Feeling the warmth from his chest, she smiled and said, "Husband, we haven't seen you for so long, do you miss me?"
"I do, of course I do." Lu Zhong touched her head and put down the teacup in his hand.
"whee!"
Yu Feng'er hugged Lu Zhong tightly with a happy expression on her face.
With these words, no matter how hard and tired she is outside, it's worth it.
"By the way, thanks to Mr. Fu, the status of the Yu family has improved a lot recently, and they have obtained the qualification to enter a secret realm. I wonder if Mr. Dao is interested in accompanying me for a trip?" Yu Feng'er suddenly said.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"What secret realm?" Lu Zhong asked curiously.
Unlike other places, most of the secret realms in Changchun Territory are under the supervision of Changchun Valley.
Participation qualifications, except for a few important secret realms, are all assigned to the underlying sect families as rewards for paying tribute on time.
The Yu family was in decline before, and they only had a small amount of spiritual stones to hand over, so naturally they were not qualified to participate in the secret realm.
"It's the Changchun Secret Realm. I heard that Changchun Valley relied on this secret realm when it started its business. However, after so many years of exploration, there are not many good things left in the secret realm. Fortunately, I bought a pill-forming auxiliary spiritual object this time. It’s news about the whereabouts of the Purple Jade Spiritual Essence, so we won’t go in in vain.” Yu Feng’er put her arms around Lu Zhong’s neck and said affectionately.
"The secret realm of Changchun..." Lu Zhong had heard of this secret realm.
It is a secret realm that is not very dangerous. Those who enter are all monks from sects and families, each with their own purpose.
I heard that there are some who develop elixir gardens because of the strong spiritual energy in the secret realm.
Generally speaking, as many monks come out as they enter.
Of course, the possibility of accidents cannot be ruled out.
As a secret realm that can accommodate foundation-building monks at most, even if they really encounter enemies inside, Lu Zhong feels that he has enough power to protect himself.
So I agreed.
The two were chatting, and Yu Feng'er suddenly sniffed it with his nose.
"Husband, have you taken a new concubine?" she said quietly.
Yu Feng'er smelled two more faint fragrances on her shirt.
"Yes, two and a half." Lu Zhong replied.
Mr. Shui Su is considered a tool man, so he can only be counted as half.
"Hmph, that concubine is... ah!" Before Yu Feng'er could finish speaking, she exclaimed, her cheeks red with blood. She was obviously the one who provoked her first, but now she became shy first, "I, my concubine" It’s not finished yet.”
When he wanted to get up, Lu Zhong grabbed him with one hand and pulled him in front of him: "I've already come, but I still want to leave! How is it possible to leave something behind without doing something?"
…
In the days that followed, Lu Zhong's life continued as usual.
Without the thrills and excitement of the protagonist's constant life and death, it is rather dull and boring, so dull that people forget that they are in the cunning world of immortality.
Fortunately, with Yu Feng'er's help from time to time, it's not boring at all.
Time passes day by day.
The pulse quenching creation liquid was quickly exhausted. Before the tide period ended, Lu Zhong could not replenish new liquid, so he had to temporarily stop practicing the Jade Vein Gong and focus on spells.
Star-pulling technique, combined star explosion.
He has basically mastered the two inherited secret techniques.
The Star Control Technique has infinite uses. It is essentially an advanced version of the Object Control Technique, and is at the same level as the Sword Control Technique.
If this technique can be used properly, it can gain great advantages in fighting.
It can be used to increase the flight speed of spiritual weapons, and it can also increase the speed of one's own movement. Once you gain a deeper understanding, you can also master the magical effect of attraction and repulsion, and it will be even more powerful when applied to fighting techniques.
The combined star explosion gathered half of the true energy in Lu Zhong's body, and the power of the explosion was quite astonishing. It could blast a pit more than three feet deep and ten feet in diameter on the same spot.
If it were to hit a monk, I'm afraid he would be filled with hatred even in the later stages of foundation building.
Unfortunately, the casting time is too long. Although the United Star Explosion has great power, it is not suitable for use in intense fights. The specific use depends on the situation.
Despite this, it is still an excellent secret technique.
