It's summer in the blink of an eye.
In the quiet room.
"Huh, I didn't expect that the third acupoint could be broken through so easily. This barbarian ancestor's sky-swallowing technique, combined with the gray mist space, really made me experience the feeling of a genius..."
Lu Zhong let out a long breath.
There was joy on his face, and he was closing his eyes to appreciate the changes in his body.
After the third acupoint was opened, the Qi and blood increased again.
Along with this, there was an increase in strength.
Approximately more than a thousand kilograms.
If every time he opens an acupoint in the future, he has such an effect, after all the acupoints are opened, I am afraid that his strength will not be inferior to that of the same level of Xuanxiu.
For a Dharma practitioner, this is definitely an amazing achievement.
After feeling happy for a while, Lu Zhong stood up.
Leave the quiet room.
Turn around and come to the alchemy room.
Recently, the Chamber of Commerce has collected a lot of elixirs, and the Bihai Sect has also begun to produce some. The accumulated materials are enough to refine multiple furnaces of elixirs or creation liquids.
Seeing that the elixir was about to run out, he prepared to start refining it.
First, he threw the Ziyou Jihuo into the furnace and began to preheat the alchemy furnace.
Skillfully empowering himself with magical powers, starlight soon fell on Lu Zhong through the patio above the alchemy room, greatly increasing his strength.
Then he called out Tianluotong.
After all preparations have been made, the alchemy furnace has been preheated.
Process after process, the spiritual materials were either successfully refined into elixirs, or were refined and turned into residues. The whole process went smoothly without any stagnation.
With Tianluotong's blessing, the success rate of alchemy has increased a lot.
Even the elixir refined for the first time actually has a 10% success rate. The more times it is refined, the higher the elixir success rate. There is even a high-grade elixir refined in one furnace.
There are two in total.
Although he knew it was just a coincidence, Lu Zhong was still happy for a while.
Continue to make elixirs.
Either failed or succeeded, and soon all the spiritual materials were exhausted.
It took him three months to obtain a total of seven bottles of elixirs, ranging in quantity from one to five. Nine portions of the third-level creation spirit liquid could support his cultivation for less than half a year.
Plus the elixir exchanged from Changchun Valley.
Lu Zhong won't have to worry about elixirs for at least three or two years.
"It's not easy!"
In order to get these elixirs, he paid a lot. The Chengde Chamber of Commerce has developed well, but the Bihai Sect that has just started is a gold-swallowing beast, and its output is not proportional to its investment.
Fortunately, there are swarms of giant honey bugs.
Once the insect swarm gets on the right track and starts producing large amounts of honey, the sect's investment will be significantly reduced, and it can even be expected to turn losses into profits.
With this thought in my mind, I suddenly felt much more balanced.
"Husband!" Yu Feng'er's voice sounded.
Today she wore a lotus leaf skirt, with willow eyebrows, red lips, and peach blossom cheeks. It could be seen that she had been carefully dressed up, and she was much more charming than before.
Seeing her sad look, Lu Zhong couldn't help but said:
"What's wrong?"
"Something happened at the Chamber of Commerce!" Yu Feng'er said gloomily.
"Um?"
Lu Zhongben was still thinking about what could happen to the Chengde Chamber of Commerce.
But after Feng'er finished explaining the situation, he realized how troublesome it was.
The whole story begins with the demon hunting order setting up a camp.
In this demon hunting order, the strategy adopted by all the forces was to exchange spiritual stones for good deeds. However, not all forces were as wealthy as the Chengde Chamber of Commerce. So after the spiritual stones were exhausted, they gradually began to reveal their true colors, using They used all possible means to plunder and plunder, which in turn led to a large loss of monks in the camp.
As a result, a group of camps that still deal fairly are particularly jealous.
No one dared to mess with the big forces, so they started to make trouble for the Chengde Chamber of Commerce.
This time, a total of three Jindan families, plus five Foundation-building families, formed an alliance and launched an attack on the Chengde Chamber of Commerce, which really caught the Chamber of Commerce off guard.
Maintaining the existence of the camp consumes a lot of supplies every day.
Most of the purchase channels for these materials have been cut off by the alliance. If this situation continues, I am afraid that the camp's material supply will soon fall into shortage.
Thinking of the consequences, Yu Feng'er felt upset.
"Husband, what do you think we should do?"
"Don't panic." Lu Zhong held her in his arms and comforted her: "It's just the union of three Jindan families. If that's the case, I think the solution will be easy, but..."
"Just what?"
Lu Zhong paused and then said: "I suspect that the matter is not that simple. The ancestors of the three golden elixir families who are taking the lead are all in the early stages of elixir formation, and one of them is about to die. Logically speaking, he should not Initiating such a conflict, especially with the Chengde Chamber of Commerce and me personally in charge.”
It was precisely because of this that he suspected that there was someone else behind the scenes.
After Lu Zhong's reminder, Yu Feng'er also reacted and felt that this was very reasonable, and quickly gave a suspect, that is, the Fang family of Buhongshan.
"Fang family?" Lu Zhong was puzzled.
How could this matter be related to the Fang family?
If this matter is true, then the crisis faced by the Chengde Chamber of Commerce this time is not a small crisis. If it is not handled well, decades of hard work can even be turned into waste.
He did not believe that as the largest immortal cultivating family in the western region of Changchun, the Fang family of Buhong Mountain would be satisfied with a camp that could earn the sect's good deeds. They had no regard for the assets of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce and the East China Sea route they controlled. Interest is impossible anyway.
Thinking of the Fang family, they are a family with three pill formations.
Lu Zhong felt agitated in his heart.
"The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop..."
He, Lu Zhong, just wanted to practice quietly, but who knew he would encounter things one after another. First, Shi Jing, a casual cultivator who coveted the three sects of Bihai, and now the Fang family of Buhong Mountain.
It’s really a wave of ups and downs.
If you think about it carefully, maybe this is normal.
Where there are interests, there are disputes.
That’s all.
It’s better to think carefully about how to solve this matter first.
When it comes to the road, Lu Zhong is unwilling to give up the Chengde Chamber of Commerce, a golden hen that can collect a large amount of elixirs for him and is worth as much as a spiritual stone mine.
So no matter what, try your best to fight.
Even if it’s the Fang family in Buhongshan!
After discussing with Yu Feng'er, the two quickly came up with a solution, which was to avoid the near and seek the far away, organize a fleet of airships to go to Lingyue Domain, and import materials from there to supply the camp.
With Master Shui Ni's Heling Sect here, it is not difficult to gather supplies.
The only disadvantage is that the cost will increase significantly.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, this is the only solution.
As for taking action.
Lu Zhong thought about it and decided to forget it.
Expanding the matter will do no good to the Chengde Chamber of Commerce, and may even intensify conflicts. If three Jie Dan gather on the opposite side, he will have no choice but to retreat.
…
It's early winter.
The business war between the Alliance and the Chengde Chamber of Commerce has reached a stalemate.
During this period, both sides fought each other with their own winners and losers.
The Chengde Chamber of Commerce even had a slight upper hand, causing the alliance to suffer a small loss. Unfortunately, this could not fundamentally change the blocked situation.
The only good news is that due to the continuous expansion of the demon hunting order, more and more monks are participating in it, which has led to an increase in the number of monks in the camp. The number of good deeds earned every day has increased, and part of the good deeds earned has been sold. Go and change it into a spiritual stone.
The total income of the Chamber of Commerce actually increased slightly compared to before.
But Lu Zhong was not happy about this.
He has personally verified that the Fang family in Buhongshan is the mastermind a while ago. If the Fang family had not initiated this matter, the Chengde Chamber of Commerce would have earned even more.
This day.
Lu Zhong didn't want to endure it anymore.
Again, not wanting to cause trouble does not mean being afraid of trouble.
Now that you are being bullied to your head, there is no reason to swallow your anger and respond passively!
After much thought, he decided to take action.
But it's not about killing people, but preparing to play a guest role as an evil cultivator. Since the Fang family attacked first and used some dirty tricks behind the scenes, then don't blame yourself for retaliating in kind.
As soon as he lost it, Lu Zhong was ready to find it back.
Farms, elixir gardens, mines...
The Fang family owns countless properties. When they can easily break through the protective circle, I would be really sorry for myself if I don't make a fortune like this.
Just do it!
After careful selection, Lu Zhong chose the Fang family’s purple water copper vein.
This is a key location for the Fang family, second only to the Buhongshan tribe and a miniature spiritual stone mine. It has produced copper mother several times, a rare spiritual material that can be used as a magic weapon material.
That night.
After investigating the situation, it was determined that no Danjie monks were stationed there.
Lu Zhong used the star-pulling technique.
A meteor strike.
The effect was better than he thought. The large formation covering the purple water copper veins was immediately smashed into pieces after being hit by the meteorite that consumed most of his mana to summon.
Without any hesitation, he rushed in.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s valuable or not, just put things in storage bags when you see them.
He has a lot of storage bags on him, all of which are good bags from Shifang, so he doesn't have to worry about running out of space to put things in.
Anyone who dared to resist on the way was solved.
About half an hour.
Lu Zhong, who had plundered all the Zishui copper veins, had more than a dozen bulging bags on his body, and disappeared into the night in a few seconds.
The next day, this incident caused a sensation in Changchun Territory.
Fang Xiaoyun, the contemporary ancestor of the Fang family, was said to be so angry that he almost went crazy, and then sent people to conduct a large-scale search, causing the outside world to speculate on how much the Fang family had suffered this time.
In this regard, Lu Zhong said that he had gained a lot.
Just two ingots of copper mother are enough to make up for the losses caused by the recent troubles caused by the Fang family in the Chengde Chamber of Commerce.
Plus those purple water copper ores and other miscellaneous things.
According to a rough calculation, at least ten thousand spirit stones can be earned.
Lu Zhong has already thought that since the losses have been made up, he will let the Fang family go for now and then take action to recover them when the losses have accumulated more.
After all, the purpose of his action was just to fight back.
As for now.
Just practice quietly.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong took out a pill and drank it.
Start a daily routine of meditating and practicing Qi.
If you are not as qualified as others and still want to achieve success on the road, the only way is to be diligent. Only by persisting for hundreds of years can you go further than the average person.
There is no other way.
After finishing his daily homework, he turned around and came to the atrium.
What should you eat in winter?
Of course it’s hotpot!
There is a similar way of eating here in Changchun Region, but they have not yet thought of boiling mutton, so Lu Zhong was very proud and Yu Feng'er couldn't help but marvel.
"Well, it's delicious!"
"Don't just eat meat. Eat it with dipping sauce like me. Try this fresh spiritual honey." Lu Zhong picked up the blanched mutton and dipped it in Bihai Zong's fine spiritual honey.
The mutton is taken from the tenderest part of the second-order Qinggang sheep. It is a rare treasure in Nanman. That is to say, the Chengde Chamber of Commerce is rich and wealthy, so it can acquire such a head.
Even so, the good meat from a Qinggang sheep only costs three pounds, six taels and one penny.
Once you take it into your mouth, the taste is indeed extraordinary.
There is no fishy smell at all, but only the explosion of rich spiritual energy, with the unique sweetness of spiritual honey. The taste is worse than the spiritual food carefully prepared by not top spiritual chefs.
The two of them took a piece of the mutton and quickly finished it.
This is just an appetizer.
The monks eat a lot, especially the high-level monks. Lu Zhong and Yu Feng'er ate from morning until midnight, and then they put down the food without finishing.
It’s not that I can’t eat it, but it’s that there’s no need to overindulge in your desires.
Just satisfy your appetite and satisfy your cravings.
"Husband, why don't we go to Master's place? She always writes letters saying she misses us every day. It's been a long time since she went there." Yu Feng'er looked at Lu Zhong and suggested.
"Yeah, no problem." Lu Zhong thought so.
This time the Chamber of Commerce asked for shopping supplies, and Shui Ni provided a lot of help. It was both reasonable and reasonable to go there.
Just recently, the Fang family has been very busy with the matter of the Zishui copper vein. It is impossible to get rid of it so quickly and continue to trouble the Chengde Chamber of Commerce.
But what should be kept secret should still be kept secret.
Early the next morning.
Lu Zhong took Yu Feng'er's body and transformed into rainbow light, flying straight towards Ling Yue Territory.
It was a blast all the way.
With the speed of escape in the middle stage of pill formation, it only took less than half a month to successfully reach the destination. However, the two of them did not directly visit Heling Sect, but went to Qingliufang first.
Returning to his hometown has changed a lot.
Although Xinfang City is still called "Qingliu", it was built on a new site, not the original site. The Li River, which is rich in peach blossom mandarin fish, also changed its course during a battle between monks. There is no longer a Li River in the world.
After walking around Qingliufang, he couldn't find a familiar face.
This is normal.
A hundred years have passed, and things have changed.
Then came to Heling Sect.
It is completely different from the last time I came here. The buildings here have been completed, and there is a prosperous scene inside the door. It is said that there are disciples who have reached the late stage of foundation building and will soon be able to advance to the false elixir realm.
Being called Lu Zhong made me envious for a while.
See Shui Ni soon.
"Good disciple, good daughter-in-law, hurry up, come in and invite me!" She went out to greet them in person, with a happy face. When she saw Lu Zhong and the others coming over, she smiled from ear to ear.
Shui Ni is still Shui Ni from before.
He was still the same as before. When Lu Zhong opened his mouth and kept saying "good disciple", he looked lifeless at all. In her eyes, several years were just a few days.
The three of them talked as they walked.
Shui Ni was smiling at the corner of her mouth, her eyes constantly shifting between Lu Zhong and Yu Feng'er, either blaming Lu Zhong for not teaching Yu Feng'er how to conceive, or sending a message to Yu Feng'er to teach her some secrets to make the latter I was so embarrassed that the sky was filled with red clouds, and I hesitated for a long time before saying yes.
"Master, this sect is becoming more and more prosperous!" Lu Zhong looked around and said to Shui Ni.
When Shui Ni heard this, her smile became even wider, with a confident expression: "Hahaha, of course, your master and I are not bad at it, but thanks to your help, my good disciples."
When Heling Sect was founded, if it weren't for the help of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce, it would not have been able to develop so fast.
