evening.
Lu Zhong returned to Lintao Pavilion with empty steps.
Yu Feng'er happened to be resting in the courtyard. When she saw his sunken eyes and extremely haggard appearance, she couldn't help being frightened. She rushed over to help him and said distressedly: "Husband, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I was just testing the magic, and I accidentally overdid it." Lu Zhong took the water glass handed by the maid, and Gu Dong drank it all in one gulp. The feeling of burning in his mouth and lips subsided a lot.
The feeling of flying by at several times the speed of sound is much more exciting than the slow flying technique.
Just by accident, he flew thousands of miles away.
When he came back to his senses, he looked like this ghost now.
"Really?" Yu Feng'er put on an expression that said she believed you were evil. She knew that a new Yihonglou store had opened in the city. She heard that there were all accomplished practitioners who specialize in the shameless juicing industry. occult.
Every male cultivator who went in came out holding on to the wall.
Could it be that my husband is just...
"That's really not what you want!" Lu Zhong was speechless.
This woman, why is she still like this after building a foundation?
With Yu Feng'er's support, he lay down on the Grand Master's chair.
After performing the Meteor Escape, he felt that his body was depleted of essence and blood, and even his cultivation showed signs of instability. It seemed that this secret technique could not be used casually, at least not to play with the cultivation and essence and blood.
However, that feeling of soaring into the sky...
It’s really cool!
"Hey, my waist is so sore!"
"Ouch, why are you lying down again?"
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have rejected my husband, so I just..." Yu Feng'er looked guilty, obviously thinking that Lu Zhongzhen had gone to Yihong Mansion.
"Huh? You can't move there!"
Good news, a new pose has been unlocked.
At the same time, there is bad news, he will have to recuperate for a few more months.
…
In the blink of an eye, summer turns to spring.
The spring rain is continuous.
In the courtyard, a light shield blocks the rain.
Lu Zhong was still drinking tea.
After a full six months of rest, he finally recovered from the sequelae.
"Huh, it's not easy!"
Thinking of the past six months, Lu Zhong couldn't help but feel a little scared. The feeling of being depleted of essence and blood was really worse than being injured. He was always sick and tired every day.
This feeling was the first time he had felt it since he started practicing Taoism.
"Fortunately everything is over."
Holding the sleeping Yu Feng'er in his arms, Lu Zhong gently rocked the imperial chair, admiring the spring rain curtain with a leisurely look.
"Snapped!"
A groping hand was slapped away.
Yu Feng'er rubbed her eyes, stood up and stared at Lu Zhong, straightened her messy collar, blushed and said coquettishly: "Husband, why did you sneak attack again?"
"Haha, is there any?" Lu Zhong pretended to be stupid.
For some reason, he recently found that he was not interested in dual cultivation.
The four newly acquired concubines have not been blessed for a long time.
You know, those four people are all good-looking, with fair skin and long legs. In terms of oral skills and craftsmanship, they are almost the same as the female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect, but Lu Zhong just can't arouse interest.
Tired of it?
Not really.
After all, he and Yu Feng'er were never enough.
"By the way, I'm going to go out soon." Lu Zhong said his plan.
The materials for the Star Mirror have not been collected for a long time, and it is unlikely to succeed if we continue to wait. The classics describe that the Western Territory is rich in magic weapon materials, so I had the idea of going to the Western Territory.
But before that, he needed to find the teleportation array leading to the Western Region.
"Then..." After hearing this, Yu Feng'er's neck turned red instantly.
Seeing her hesitating, Lu Zhong didn't know what Yu Feng'er was thinking. The old couple were still too shy to speak, so they leaned close to their ears and whispered.
"Ah? No, it's too shameful!" Yu Feng'er exclaimed and quickly got up and ran away.
Unexpectedly, he was caught by Lu Zhong.
Humph, I still can’t cure you?
In the past few months, he had suffered a lot.
We need to find our place today.
With interest!
…
Half a month later.
Lu Zhong appeared in the northern Dalinhai.
Thousands of miles deep.
It is only a few thousand miles away from the inner area of Linhai.
After breaking through to the pill formation stage, new changes appeared in the gray fog space, that is, the consumption of time retrieval was reduced, and his actions to track Madam Butterfly became much easier.
After half a month of reviewing, Lu Zhong has made great gains.
In front of him was a valley filled with poisonous miasma.
It's not big, only about ten miles long.
"It's certain that Madam Butterfly came out of here."
To be cautious, I didn't jump in immediately.
Instead, relying on the gray fog space, he circled around first, and Lu Zhong really discovered the danger. The valley looked peaceful, but in fact it was a nest of poisonous insects.
"There are too many bugs and we won't be able to get in for a while. We'd better build a cave first."
Living in the Great Forest Sea in the north, especially deep into a place like this, even a monk in the alchemy stage cannot stop the terrifying poisonous miasma of ten thousand trees. A place that can remove poison is very important.
Work step by step and fight steadily.
Never be greedy for success!
After finding a rocky hill, Lu Zhong relied on "fossils as mud talismans" to quickly dig out a mountain space, and then laid out a corresponding formation, and the cave was completed.
There is a mountain barrier, and the poisonous miasma of ten thousand trees cannot penetrate.
It took several days for Lu Zhong to remove the toxins accumulated in his body.
Immediately afterwards, we started to explore the Poisonous Insect Valley.
The process is a bit difficult.
Jindan Zhenren is still a human being, and he will be poisoned if he is a human being.
The Poison Insect Valley is very suitable for the growth of poisonous insects, so there are hundreds of first- and second-order insect swarms in it. There are large insect nests everywhere in the valley for more than ten miles, and the number of poisonous insects is feared to be one hundred thousand.
After suffering several moderate losses, Lu Zhong changed his previous idea of attacking forcefully.
The existence of the insect swarm also acts as a cover for the teleportation array.
Located deep in the Great Forest Sea, it is also protected by a large number of terrifying poisonous insects.
No wonder the teleportation array has not been discovered for so long.
According to his observation, the teleportation array is most likely located in a mound in the valley. Several times he approached it and used his spiritual sense to explore it, and found that there were artificial structures inside.
"In that case, maybe we can dig a hole to get through." Lu Zhongsi thought.
After changing my thinking, the resistance became much smaller.
Insects like to build nests underground. Digging past their nests will inevitably lead to a desperate counterattack, but this is better than being besieged by dozens of groups of poisonous insects outside. Moreover, Lu Zhong discovered at this time that if other poisonous insects came in and wanted to help, they would also fight back. Invite indiscriminate attacks.
Time passes day by day.
The little poisonous insect valley took Lu Zhong more than half a year.
During this period, bottle after bottle of detoxification pill was used.
The amount of spirit stones consumed was enough to bankrupt a senior foundation builder.
For paying such a price, the gain is also not small.
Poisonous insects taste good after being fried. When eaten with their special insect poison, the taste is even more addictive. Most of the detoxifying pills consumed are used on it.
It satisfied the appetite of Lu Zhong, a gourmet.
Then came another surprise.
Increased poison resistance.
Lu Zhong was surprised to find that his resistance to insect poison and ten thousand wood poisonous miasma was a little higher than before.
Of course, the most important gain is to successfully reach the palace where the teleportation array is located.
He broke in through the wall.
At this moment.
Lu Zhongzheng was in an underground palace ten feet square.
The exit of the underground palace has been blocked by rocks and mud. It doesn't take much to know that Madam Butterfly did it to prevent others from discovering that there is a teleportation array here.
Looking around curiously, he found nothing of value.
In the underground palace, except for a simple teleportation array, there is nothing else.
I don’t know who built such a cross-border teleportation array here.
"Bah!" There were repeated soft sounds.
Lu Zhong lit dozens of second-order strong light talismans and shot them onto the four walls of the underground palace. Under the strong light, the entire underground palace was reflected in every detail.
Move your gaze to the circular teleportation array.
"As I expected, Madam Butterfly destroyed this formation."
Fortunately, she didn't damage it badly, it was just a few corners.
Even so, the restoration was a major undertaking.
Lu Zhong didn't bring many materials and needed to go back to Changchun Fairy City to purchase them.
"Just in time, the supplies are almost used up."
Lu Zhong was ready to go back.
By the way, you can also ask the Chamber of Commerce to prepare a batch of Nanman specialties.
Many spiritual objects are indispensable. Even the Middle-earth side has to import a large number of spiritual objects from other places. There is no possibility of surviving on its own.
When he reaches the Western Region, he can resell it at a high price.
Buy back the special spiritual items from the Western Region and resell them for another huge profit.
Repeatedly, Nascent Soul can be expected!
…
Just returned to Changchun Fairy City.
Lu Zhong heard some breaking news.
Jun Ling Zhenjun of Lingyue Sect was successfully attacked by Li Qionghua not long ago. It is said that his vitality was severely damaged and he had to retreat to recuperate.
"How long has it been since then, and yet you actually dare to make a sneak attack on True Monarch Nascent Soul?"
He was shocked, this woman was really scary.
But Li Qionghua actually succeeded in the sneak attack!
Then I thought about the torture she might have suffered, and suddenly felt that it was not surprising. The soul was trapped in that puppet for who knows how many years. Anyone would be tortured to madness.
"Well, after her making such a fuss, I'm afraid the Ling Yue Domain will be in chaos."
Without Nascent Soul Lord suppressing them from above, Lu Zhong didn't think that the sect families below, which had been suppressed for a long time, would continue to stay there honestly. Maybe someone had secretly communicated with Qu Gian and contacted Li Qionghua.
But this is none of his business, after all, he is just a casual cultivator now.
Hailing a beast cart, return to Lintao Pavilion.
With the Yang Yu Pei there, Yu Feng'er relied on the connection between the Yin and Yang Yu Pei to know that Lu Zhong was back, so he just arrived with his front foot and Yu Feng'er entered the courtyard with his back foot.
She looked like she was in a hurry, which was not often seen.
"Husband, there is a letter here for you." Yu Feng'er said and handed over a letter.
"My letter?" Lu Zhong took it.
The letter was stamped "Middle-earth Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion", indicating that it was sent from thousands of miles away. Sending such a letter cost a lot of money, at least three to two thousand spirit stones.
Looking at the words "Good disciple personally opens the door" written above.
He immediately knew who the sender was, and as expected, it was Master Shui Ni.
Injecting the soul information, the restrictions on the letter were instantly lifted.
Yu Feng'er came over curiously.
She also wanted to see why her husband's master sent the letter.
Lu Zhong simply hugged Yu Feng'er and read the letter on the imperial chair.
At the beginning, there are still three words "good disciple".
"...We said goodbye in a hurry at Heling Mountain. It has been half a century now. I heard that my good disciple has become the master of a pavilion and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of foundation building. I am very relieved... It is not easy to form elixirs. I still hope that my good disciple will You should accumulate more, and don’t aim too high... I will choose a day to return to Nanman as my teacher, and you and I will see each other again."
After reading the whole article, Lu Zhong couldn't calm down for a long time.
Shui Ni treated him fairly well.
At least it's better than those naked exploits in Changchun Fairy City.
But what will Shui Ni do when he comes back?
Recalling Shui Ni's special status in the Heling Sect when it was still in existence, Lu Zhong vaguely guessed her purpose of returning to the Southern Barbarians, but he was not sure.
Just as he was thinking about it, the maid came to report.
There was a visit from the real person Jin Dan.
When Lu Zhong saw the name card, the word "Shui Ni" was clearly written on it.
"No!"
As soon as the letter arrives, someone else will follow.
Once a teacher, always a teacher.
Even if the two people have similar cultivation levels, the status of master and disciple will continue to be maintained as long as they are not dissolved for one day.
Master came to visit me.
As a disciple, Lu Zhong must not lose his etiquette.
So he took Yu Feng'er and walked towards the living room.
As soon as I entered the living room, there was a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes, with an unworldly aura. Sitting in the hall made the place glow.
It was Shui Ni whom I hadn't seen in a while.
Currently, he is in the middle stage of pill formation.
She looked at Lu Zhong up and down, with surprise that could not be concealed in her eyes.
"Okay, okay! I didn't expect that my good disciple actually succeeded in forming a pill!"
When she first heard the news, she couldn't believe it.
Now I have confirmed it with my own eyes, it is indeed true.
"Lv Zhong has met Master!"
"Yu Feng'er has met Master!"
Seeing Yu Feng'er salute like this, Shui Ni understood it immediately, so the smile on his face became even bigger, he took her hand and stuffed a jade box, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to give it to my good disciple, but I didn't expect him The elixir was formed so quickly, obviously it is no longer needed, and it is just for the good disciple’s Taoist companion.”
"Ah this!" Yu Feng'er was not stupid, she knew what was in the box as soon as she heard it.
It must be the golden elixir!
She refused, but was forced back by Shui Ni.
Shui Ni's eyes moved to Lu Zhong, with a gentle look in his eyes, and said with a smile: "To be honest, disciple, I returned to Nanman this time to rebuild the Heling Sect..."
Sure enough!
Lu Zhong had already guessed this.
"I wonder what you think?" Shui Ni said nervously.
For reconstruction, if the two of them can work together, things will go much smoother.
The two golden elixir masters are enough to solve most of Jianzong's problems. In addition, now is the window of opportunity. Lingyue Sect's Jun Lingzhenjun is seriously injured. With the sudden rise of Li Qionghua, the future situation will definitely not be conducive to Lingyue. Zong, you can even see it disintegrating.
If the Heling Sect can really be rebuilt.
With good management, she might be able to gather the resources and break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
To conceive a baby.
This is the reason why Shui Ni sold off her parents' inheritance and resolutely returned to Nanman.
The allocation of resources within the Xianling Sect has long been solidified, and later people have no chance at all. If she wants to get the chance to have a baby, she can only come to the Southern Barbarians where the distribution of benefits has not yet been completed.
"Feel sorry."
After a long silence, Lu Zhong rejected Shui Ni's invitation.
It is self-evident that the benefits gained by master and disciple taking charge of a sect together are self-evident.
But it’s still the same old saying.
With profits comes risks.
At present, the Chengde Chamber of Commerce is developing rapidly. Not only does it control most of the spiritual output of the northern Great Forest Sea, it has also begun to get involved in the highly profitable East China Sea route. The previous basic market is also well maintained, even if it continues to remain so in the future. With the current income, Lu Zhong can also try to have a baby before his life is over.
Coupled with the resale and sales that rely on the teleportation array.
Maybe we can get a few baby-creating spiritual objects.
Lu Zhong believed that he could expect to have a baby in the future, and this was really not something he said casually.
In this case, there was really no need for him to take risks.
Hearing this, Shui Ni's face turned gloomy.
"However, the Chengde Chamber of Commerce can provide necessary support!" Lu Zhong added.
Thinking of the relationship between master and disciple, he still had to express it.
"Really?" Shui Ni said in surprise.
Rebuilding a sect is inseparable from the support of resources and manpower.
Everything from the construction of mountain gates to the development of spiritual fields requires professionals to operate.
If she can get help from the Chengde Chamber of Commerce, she can focus on reconciling the conflicts between forces, so that she can easily rebuild the Heling Sect alone.
"My dear disciple, I love you so much!"
