Things ended in an unexpected way.
Life returns to its previous calm.
Lu Zhong considered that the Chengde Chamber of Commerce would not be able to complete the cleansing and reorganization within a short period of time, and the collection of elixirs would be greatly affected, so he decided to focus his cultivation on the Barbarian Ancestor's Heaven-Swallowing Technique.
Only by experiencing its benefits can we understand the importance of a strong body.
At the same time, the little True Yang Talisman did not put down.
As a third-level secret talisman, if you put in the effort to master it, you will definitely make more money than lose money.
Faintly, he always felt that something big was going to happen in the Southern Barbarians. This feeling came from the powerful spiritual sense of the Danjie monks, and was just a little bit away from the feeling of whim.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong couldn't help but wonder.
What exactly is the crisis?
Recalling the "catastrophic disaster" mentioned by Qing Ding, he felt that this person, as a child of the Changchun Valley, might know something.
"That's all."
It is useless to think too much, it is better to prepare for a rainy day.
This incident with the Fang family also made him understand that the Chengde Chamber of Commerce, which has a shallow foundation, is not as good as a wealthy family that has been rooted in thousands of years. The other party can easily cut off the supply of goods to the chamber of commerce as long as it uses some connections.
learn from mistakes.
Lu Zhong decided to change the development focus of the Chamber of Commerce.
The development potential of the Bihai Island Group is huge. Even before the Demon Hunting Order began, the revenue was close to that of the Changchun Territory. If it operates for decades in the future, its achievements will definitely be better than those of the Changchun Territory.
"I should have made up my mind long ago..."
But it’s not too late to change now.
After thinking over the details and making sure there were no obvious mistakes or omissions, Lu Zhong turned his attention back to cultivation, which was the foundation for his livelihood.
However, due to the limitations of pills, the speed of improvement in cultivation has been slow.
Especially after breaking through to the middle stage of pill formation.
Even with the aid of elixirs, he was still as slow as a turtle crawling.
No, it’s slower than a turtle crawling!
"How many years and months will it take for me to reach the advanced stage of cultivation?" Lu Zhong thought of this, and felt depressed in his heart. He estimated that it would only take more than a hundred years, and he would no longer have to think about the false infant state.
But then I thought about it, all the monks of the same level were standing still.
My mood couldn't help but get better again.
Sure enough, happiness is based on the pain of others!
…
The clouds clear and the fog clears.
As the storm subsides, the tidal period ends.
Another new year has arrived.
Early in the morning, Lu Zhong came out of the retreat room.
I walked around the surrounding sea area and randomly selected a few unlucky sea beasts, all of which were strong-blooded types, to use as food for practicing.
"The First Cause of All Realms"
The reason why I went hunting personally was because the beast tide was over.
A while ago.
Zhenjun Wanmu reached an agreement with the demon cultivator incarnation, and the demon hunting order incident that lasted for several years ended. Changchun Valley also issued a notice that the monks were not allowed to penetrate ten thousand miles into the northern Great Forest Sea.
Lu Zhong naturally deeply regrets this.
After all, once the demon hunting order ends, the channels for earning good deeds in the Changchun Valley will disappear.
I made a special trip to Changchun Valley and exchanged all my good deeds for elixirs. The quantity was slightly more than last time, with a total of twenty-five bottles of various sizes, and the variety was as complex as ever.
It is precisely because of these pills that he has been able to practice quietly recently.
Just as he was thinking about it, he spotted a fleet of ships out of the corner of his eye.
The condition of this fleet can only be described as miserable.
The sail was damaged and cracked in many places, and there were several large holes in the hull. From time to time, spiritual light burst out from the holes. It was obvious that the Dharma Formation on the ship was seriously damaged. Being able to come to the Ganquan Islands was considered to be under the influence of heaven.
If nothing unexpected happens, this fleet should want to enter Ganquan Commercial Port.
Turn around and return to Ganquan Mansion.
In the afternoon, news came.
But this fleet was unlucky and was attacked by a passing water dragon.
A few days later, several more fleets were attacked one after another.
"Husband, something is wrong!"
In the atrium garden, Yu Feng'er looked at the attack files and frowned. They looked like water dragons passing by, but they had clearly settled in that sea area.
"Indeed." Lu Zhong nodded in agreement.
Judging from the contents of the file, it is speculated that the place where the third-order water dragon is entrenched is a shoal called the Coral Sea. Almost all attacks occur around this shoal.
As a result, all ocean-going fleets have recently been told to stay away.
On his side, because the home port of the Chamber of Commerce fleet was on Ganquan Island, it just avoided the Coral Sea, so he did not suffer any major losses.
Not only that, it might even be an opportunity.
To the north of the Coral Sea, close to the northern Great Forest Sea where monsters are entrenched, if the East China Sea fleet chooses to take a detour, it can only go south and pass through the Ganquan Islands.
Yu Feng'er quickly thought of this and suddenly smiled.
Who doesn’t want to earn more spiritual stones?
…
Time passes day by day.
The spring rain is pouring.
Just as Lu Zhong expected, the appearance of the third-order water dragon really brought huge benefits to Ganquan Port. The commercial port became more prosperous day by day, and the huge port was like a forest of masts.
Sometimes there are not enough berths and the ship has to anchor on the sea.
Thanks to this, the revenue of Ganquan Commercial Port has increased significantly recently.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Lu Zhong launched a real estate plan, changing the market's tradition of only renting but not selling, and selling freehold houses and shops to big chambers of commerce, big families, and some wealthy monks, even as long as there were enough spiritual stones. , even port berths can be purchased.
The reason for this is that he saw it very clearly.
It is impossible for Changchun Valley to allow a water dragon to linger at the door of the house and not leave. Action will be taken soon. Whether it is expelled or killed, Ganquan Commercial Port will return to its original state.
Rather than being knocked back to the original shape after the prosperity, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
…
It’s just before the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye.
After a summer rain, Lu Zhong appeared in the small valley.
Countless rare flowers decorate the place like a fairyland, and the fragrance of flowers wafts around, reminding people of the little things in life a few years ago.
I can't help but feel sad.
After worshiping and staying in the thatched cottage for a few days, he left.
Return to Ganquan Mansion.
Continue to immerse yourself in practice.
After much accumulation, the Little True Yang Talisman was made for the first time.
The finished small true Yang talisman is golden, which is the color of the sun's essence. There is an obvious burning sensation when touched, and the talisman contains a powerful force.
After trying it, even if it is used to deal with sea monsters, it can severely damage a second-level sea monster.
"The power is similar to that of ordinary third-level talismans." Lu Zhong concluded.
However, this kind of Yang Qi talisman containing the essence of the sun is most useful for dealing with demon cultivators, or things such as zombies and monsters. To these things, the sun essence contained in the talisman is almost the same as the calamity thunder falling from the sky.
Thinking of recent times, Changchun Valley has been purchasing Sun Essence on a large scale.
Don't hesitate to spend the sect's good deeds.
Lu Zhong decided to reserve some small True Yang Talismans, which might be of great use in the future.
Turned around and left the Talisman Making Room.
The outside has been decorated. Whether it is under the eaves or on the treetops, they are all hung with colorful lanterns. Each one is exquisitely made and obviously made by famous teachers.
At this time, Yu Feng'er was commanding a group of maids and making preparations.
Lu Zhong hugged her from behind, touched Yu Feng'er's head and said: "We must focus on cultivation. From now on, we can just give instructions on this kind of thing. I'm still waiting for you to form an elixir as soon as possible!"
"Ah, I got it!" Yu Feng'er's cheeks turned red and she opened her troublesome hands.
Seeing her eyes twinkling, Lu Zhong knew that this woman was still thinking about getting pregnant. She was probably afraid that she would break through to the core formation stage and it would be more difficult to get pregnant in the future.
Alas, it’s true.
So Lu Zhong leaned close to her ear and temples and whispered: "From today on, you will practice in seclusion with me. When the elixir is formed, we will separate."
"Husband..." Yu Feng'er was anxious.
"No need to discuss!" Lu Zhong interrupted directly.
…
Retreat together
Lu Zhong is no longer lonely, but he is a little weak.
On a new day, he got up from bed and felt a little pain in his back. This is really unbelievable for a monk in the middle stage of pill formation.
Last night, Yu Feng'er seemed to take revenge by dragging him to practice together all night.
"Well, there are always only exhausted cows, how can there be no damaged fields..."
Without thinking any more, he pulled Yu Feng'er up who was pretending to sleep, and Lu Zhong began to supervise her meditation practice.
If you don't complete the daily practice, don't even think about stepping out of the quiet room.
Shake his head.
What's going on?
Putting aside distracting thoughts, he also took a Miao Bing Dan.
Miao Bing Dan is a third-level elixir, which is refined from the essence of molten fire with spiritual materials. It is a very rare gold and stone elixir. It is famous for its remarkable effect in improving cultivation and its serious side effects.
"I have no choice but to accept whoever comes..."
After meditating for a while, my cultivation improved slightly.
Lu Zhong opened his eyes and found a pretty face very close to him, so he went up to him without hesitation, making Yu Feng'er, who wanted to tease him, blush.
"Husband, I'm done practicing..." Yu Feng'er said weakly.
"Huh? Then check it out for me...there's still a little left to go. Take this elixir and refine it." Lu Zhong said calmly, taking a handful of it from Yu Feng'er and feeding him a second-level elixir without any explanation. .
The following days were basically a battle of wits and courage.
Day by day, it was fun.
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
With Lu Zhong's unremitting efforts, Yu Feng'er finally reached the fake elixir realm.
It’s not easy!
After arriving at the fake elixir realm, the next step is to prepare for elixir formation.
There is nothing to worry about in this aspect. Shui Ni sent a spiritual object that can withstand the power of a thunderstorm, plus the spiritual objects collected by the Chengde Chamber of Commerce in recent years. Yu Feng'er's probability of surviving the Three-Nine Thunder Tribulation is not much lower than that of Lu Zhong.
…
One morning.
"Husband, the opportunity has come for me to form a pill." Yu Feng'er suddenly said.
Lu Zhong sensed her rising aura, nodded heavily, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will help you protect the law, so you can go through the disaster with peace of mind!"
"Yeah!" Yu Feng'er responded.
Afterwards, they got dressed and went hand in hand to Qingquan Island not far away.
After some renovations, many magic circles have been prepared here to assist her in overcoming the tribulation. It has become a place for her to overcome the tribulation, which can increase the success rate of overcoming the tribulation.
Lu Zhong didn't think Yu Feng'er would fail.
Her talent in fighting is even higher than his own. She is just too lazy to practice on weekdays, but she never loses her temper at critical moments.
After the breath adjustment meditation is completed, Yu Feng'er takes the prepared Jinjin Dan.
Lu Zhong, on the other hand, blessed himself with a certain magical power, and his aura reached its peak under the amplification of Star Gathering Technique, Star Blessing and other effects.
One by one, magic weapons were sacrificed.
Fatty red, shining gold...
After years of cultivation and the addition of many rare spiritual materials, the natal magic weapon Star Mirror is now a sixth-level forbidden magic weapon.
It was suspended above Lu Zhong's head and spinning.
Between the eyebrows, the Tianluotong has also bloomed, alert to all movements around it.
ready.
Time passes minute by minute.
The celestial phenomenon of forming an alchemy is almost the same as the birth of a treasure, so it is no surprise that it attracts a large number of monks, including those who are both foundation-building true practitioners and those who are in the alchemy realm.
I see someone guarding me here.
Either turn around at a distance, or apologize and retreat voluntarily.
Seeing the last tribulation thunder falling, Yu Feng'er was about to successfully overcome the tribulation.
Lu Zhong suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. At this moment, from the corner of his eye, he caught a huge black shadow approaching quickly under the ocean in the distance, and something was wrong in his heart.
Without hesitation, he raised his hand and executed a Jiamu Thunder Technique.
The thunder method has been gathering momentum for a long time, and its power suddenly increased by 30%!
"Boom!"
A big explosion.
It is caused by lightning electrolyzing sea water.
"Ouch!
! "A roar of filial piety came.
Hearing this voice, Lu Zhong's heart sank.
It's a water dragon!
He had expected this.
The Immortal Cultivation Golden Pill is definitely a first-class tonic for the demon clan. This is also the reason why the conflicts between humans and monsters can never be reconciled. After all, swallowing a golden elixir can at least be worth hundreds of years of hard work.
Even if the monster's intelligence is enlightened, it is difficult to resist this temptation.
as expected.
When the water vapor dissipated, a water dragon appeared.
The water dragon is somewhat similar to the legendary real dragon. Its body is a hundred feet long and it has a pair of forked sharp horns on its head. The dragon's belly is also covered with scales and has white patterns, while its back has dark blue patterns, which emit colorful auras under the starlight. The four-legged claws with webbed feet evolved to achieve rapid advancement in the water. Even the dorsal fin is similar to that of a fish. The tail is similar to that of a snake. On the upper eyebrow part of the dragon's head, there is a protruding piece of flesh that crosses between the eyes.
After being hit by a thunder spell, his body was only slightly scorched.
"Is this the dragon?"
Lu Zhong felt a huge sense of oppression.
This feeling comes not only from the huge size, but also from the aura of the dragon.
Glancing at Yu Feng'er in the distance, he didn't back down even a step.
"Roar!" There was a roar.
The water dragon took the initiative to attack.
It is born with the "magical power of controlling water" and can freely control the flow of water as directed by its arms. After breaking through to the third level, it can control hundreds of millions of kilograms of sea water at the same time.
"Dongdongdong!"
Dozens of huge water pillars rose into the sky!
Immediately, as if he had independent consciousness, he attacked Lu Zhong in the middle.
Lu Zhong had no doubt at all.
Being hit by these water pillars must have resulted in his death on the spot.
Dodge.
A hint of joking flashed through the eyes of the water dragon in the distance. With a gentle squeeze of its left and right claws, all the water pillars exploded under its control, turning into countless water needles and flying in all directions.
Got hit by this.
Most of the energy on Lu Zhong's body was immediately wiped away.
