Lu Zhong continued to count.
There are about thirty bottles of elixirs for various purposes, but most of them are related to body refining, or recuperation and healing elixirs. There are only a few that can be used to improve your cultivation.
"It seems that even a master of weapon refining will still be short of elixirs for practice!"
This little pill is not as much as he has.
Move them aside.
First, second and third level talismans, daily changes of clothes, all kinds of daily necessities... Lu Zhong sorted through them one by one, selecting the valuable ones and stacking the worthless ones together.
"Jihuo Sutra?"
When Lu Zhong inspected a jade slip, he found that what was recorded in it was actually a book of exercises. The general outline and secret techniques were all available, which was enough to practice to the early stage of Nascent Soul. It was obviously a complete set of inheritance.
After a cursory reading, it is only slightly inferior to the He Ling Fei Xing Sutra.
The secret techniques recorded in it, like most of the inherited techniques, require the power of self-fire to activate, but there are exceptions, which happen to be very suitable for Lu Zhong.
"The Fire-Building Technique can absorb the essence of fire to enhance the power of self-fire..."
Seeing this, Lu Zhong's eyes lit up.
This fire-building secret technique was originally prepared for a certain secret technique inherited from the Jihuo Jing, but based on the principles explained in the introduction of this technique, he felt that it might be effective on Ziyou Extreme Fire.
"You can give it a try!"
There is no need to collect the flame essence by yourself.
Lu Zhong decided to issue a task later and hang it on the task board of Bihai Sect. At that time, there will be disciples who want to gain good deeds from the sect and will find ways to practice this technique on their own.
The Jihuo Sutra also contains a lot of cultivation experience.
Generations of monks from the Gongsun family have recorded their life-long cultivation experiences without reservation. From these insights, it can be seen that the Gongsun family in Xuanyang Region can be inherited for thousands of years, and it is really not just luck.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong couldn't help but doubt.
Are the Gongsun Yu and the other three that he met earlier, whether they are monks from the Gongsun family? There is no trace of the self-cultivation of a wealthy family of ten thousand years, but he is similar to a casual cultivator on the roadside.
Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it.
He burned a copy of all these cultivation experiences on blank jade slips. It is planned to be placed in the Bihai Sect's power transmission hall later, so that the Bihai Sect's heritage can be increased.
To avoid giving the impression to outsiders, this sect’s disciples have their appearance.
As for the "Ji Fire Sutra"...
Lu Zhong thought about it and decided not to include it in the Chuan Gong Hall yet.
Human life is one thing, inheritance is another.
Although the possibility of the Xuanyang Gongsun family swallowing their anger after their own Jiedan was killed is small, it is not impossible. But once it is known that his inherited skills are leaked, the result will be death.
For now, the Bihai Sect cannot afford to offend such a powerful enemy as the Xuanyang Gongsun family.
"It's better to keep it first."
Making a decision in his heart, Lu Zhong put the Jihuo Jing into his storage ring.
Looking at the remaining things, they can still be piled up into a small mountain.
Check everything and it will be over soon.
He made a rough estimate and found that even if the value of the storage ring itself was not included, the items in Huo Yezi's storage ring totaled more than a million spirit stones.
The reason for this is that the weapon refining materials account for the majority.
Judging from the marks left on the materials, they were handed over to Huo Yezi by various Southern Barbarian forces.
"These things may cause me trouble in the future..." Lu Zhong warned himself that when he encounters these forces in the future, he must at least keep an eye out, so as not to cause people to hold grudges and plot against them.
Turning his eyes towards the worthless items, he stretched out his hand and gathered them into a three-foot-long ball.
Then he clenched his fist hard and crushed them into powder with his magic hand.
This has been Lu Zhong's habit all along.
"Huh?" His eyes suddenly looked strange, and he took a picture of six pages.
"Another wordless page..."
Looking at the unknown pages floating in front of him, Lu Zhong realized that even if he reached the stage of forming pills, it would not be easy to destroy them.
Seriously, if not crushed into powder. Relying solely on visual observation and spiritual scanning, he really couldn't discover that there were six pages hidden in the pile of debris.
"What exactly is recorded in the pages of the book that is worthy of Huo Yezi hiding it so deeply?"
With his eyes closed and deep in thought, Lu Zhong suddenly felt something in his heart and pulled out a jade slip. This jade slip was left by Huo Yezi, and it contains not only his lifelong cultivation experience, but also some insights into weapon refining.
However, what contains the most content is Huo Yezi’s own life story.
After browsing carefully, he made a discovery.
"It's actually an incarnation outside the body..."
According to Huo Yezi's self-report, there are nine wordless pages in total. After collecting them, the writing will reveal itself, and one can obtain the magical power of "External Incarnation" and create a true self.
Seeing this, Lu Zhongrao, who had been practicing for many years, still couldn't help but feel confused.
It can be said that he has personally experienced the power of supernatural powers.
Not to mention the "Flying Sand and Moving Stones" taught by Huayi Guan, just talking about Lu Zhong's own magical power of "moving stars and changing fights" once even frustrated the Supreme Master of Huashen, and his attempts to deduce the secrets of heaven were in vain.
This shows how powerful magical power is!
"Nine pages, I am still one and a half pages away from gathering the incarnation..." Lu Zhong thought of this and couldn't help but smile bitterly. This was really torture.
There was suddenly one more thing to do in the future.
That is to find out the whereabouts of the wordless pages.
As usual, he was going to hang it on the Bihai Sect's task list. Although he didn't have any hope in his heart, it was still good to try his luck. The Chengde Chamber of Commerce will also ask them to investigate.
"It's good to have power to command!" Lu Zhong said proudly.
If he were the protagonist, at this moment, besides waiting for the author to send news to his door, he would probably have no choice but to run around desperately, hoping that he would be lucky enough to get the whereabouts of the book pages.
Later, I looked at the storage bags of two pill-forming men from the Gongsun family.
Gongsun Rou didn't have many things. It was a typical family monk's storage bag, but it was the other bald man in yellow robe, which gave Lu Zhong a little surprise.
Not counting the snake pestle.
A rough estimate is that it is worth over 300,000 spirit stones.
This is the net worth of a normal alchemy monk.
Like Huo Yezi.
If he were a secular mortal, he would at least be a rich man.
…
Feeling great.
Lu Zhong came to Shuixie happily. Yu Feng'er was not here today. According to the maid, she went to Bidaofang City to host a large-scale auction.
The joy suddenly decreased a bit.
There was no one to tell him the good news, and he couldn't bear it.
"That's all."
Lu Zhong reached out to summon the maid and asked her to order the spiritual chef to prepare more food, especially more dragon meat. He was going to continue the Barbarian Ancestor's Heaven-Swallowing Technique.
This technique allows him to experience what it means to be a genius. It can be said that the more he practices, the more addictive he becomes.
It will take some time before the spiritual food is ready.
He began to enjoy the scenery.
The weather in June is as unpredictable as a woman's mood.
One moment it was clear skies, the next moment there would be dark clouds covering the sky, and in an instant it would rain heavily, sometimes even mixed with hail, or things like sea fish and seaweed.
"Crash!"
It rained heavily as soon as it came.
The heavy raindrops hit the glazed tiles and made a "snap" sound. If they fell into the pool, they would make a crisp "winter" sound.
Lu Zhong could rely on his eyesight to count the number of raindrops falling in the pool.
"When you practice to the elixir-forming stage, you are really getting further and further away from human beings. It's no wonder that in many classics, high-level monks are always reminded not to forget human emotions, so as not to turn into inhuman monsters with powerful power."
Just as he was thinking about it, a delicate body wanted to come close to him.
But it was a new maid.
Lu Zhong had already noticed it and shook it off with a cold snort.
After taking a quick look at this girl, I can see that she is quite pretty, and she is considered to have a top-notch appearance among the female cultivators. If it were him during the foundation building period, he might actually take this maid as his concubine.
But now...
forget it.
It's not that I can't do things, it's just that I feel tired after a long time.
"Alas, immortality is not all a benefit! If it were a young monk who was full of energy, he might have to fight her to death..." Lu Zhong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Send a message and ask someone to take the maid away and deal with it.
It's not like killing them, just driving them out of Chaosheng Cave.
Although doing so would be worse than killing her.
Every maid who enters Chaosheng Cave has a background, and they are not just random cats and dogs found on the roadside. They are either female cultivators directly attached to the family of the Bihai Sect, or they are the blood descendants of a monk from the Bihai Sect.
Being driven out of Chaosheng Cave not only means losing access to great resources, but also facing severe criticism from family forces. That is indeed worse than death.
After a while, spiritual food was served on the table.
After what happened just now, the maids were all cautious. They were not willing to follow in that man's footsteps, which made the atmosphere in the waterside pavilion very tense.
Under such circumstances, Lu Zhong was not in the mood to ask him to eat.
After eating hastily, he turned around and came to the quiet room.
After some refining and training, Barbarian Ancestor's Heaven Swallowing Technique improved slightly.
Lu Zhong roughly estimated that he would be able to open the ninth acupoint by the end of the year. There are a total of thirty-six acupoints in the Barbarian Ancestor's Heaven-Swallowing Technique. Opening the ninth one can be regarded as a small success.
"Xiao Cheng's Barbarian Ancestor Body can bring powerful vitality..."
Rebirth through bleeding is a no-brainer.
Judging from the description, it seems that he can resist magic weapons a few more times than ordinary monks.
No matter how you think about it, using your body to resist magic weapons is a stupid thing, but sometimes you just have to "take the initiative to be stupid" in order to deal with difficult and powerful enemies by exchanging injuries for injuries.
What Lu Zhong values more is the improvement in fighting ability brought about by the improvement of physical fitness after mastering the Barbarian Ancestor's Heaven Swallowing Technique. After all, he usually mainly relies on magic weapons to fight and kill enemies.
"Hey, what kind of Dharma practice do I have!" He couldn't help laughing.
The more and more remote it becomes.
…
Time flies, and months pass in the blink of an eye.
At the end of the year, Lu Zhong appeared at the Bihai Sect's martial arts arena, and in front of more than 10,000 monks, he experienced the addiction of the ancestor of the sect.
I felt so happy that my speech inevitably took a long time.
The monks below were afraid of the majesty of their ancestors but had to listen carefully.
Hahaha!
"Next, I announce the Bihai Sect's first sect competition, starting now!" Lu Zhong used some magic tricks to resonate his own voice with magic power to make it powerful.
"I will obey the decree of my ancestor!" the disciple Shan Huhai responded.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong nodded with satisfaction.
The purpose of the sect competition is to solve the problem of status promotion for the growing Bihai Sect disciples. After all, not everyone is willing to remain an outer disciple.
In the past, status was determined solely by recommendations and qualifications. As far as Lu Zhong knew, his disciples had been complaining about this for a long time. He also knew this very well. After all, not everyone can be like Chu Dayun, who can have a "grandpa on hand" to help him and stand out from the crowd with ordinary qualifications.
Furthermore, it also helps those disciples who think they have unrecognized talents to see themselves clearly.
By the way, it can also make the hierarchy within the door more strict.
For this reason, Lu Zhong also divided them into chief disciples, inner disciples, and outer disciples. Going down each level can save a lot of management troubles, which is a manifestation of the respect for the strong in the world of immortality.
Proceed according to plan.
The winner advances and the loser retreats.
A lot of talents have been discovered under the waves.
Among them, there are slightly fewer monks who are casual cultivators.
Although the Bihai Sect was founded not long ago, it has already been divided into three factions: the master and apprentice faction, which has just taken shape, the family faction that has taken root and developed, and the casual cultivator faction that has gradually become weaker.
This is inevitable.
After all, where there are interests, there are bound to be disputes.
Winning allies is undoubtedly a good way to obtain greater benefits.
As an ancestor of the sect, Lu Zhong could not change this. He could only try his best to draw together the differences and make the three major factions restrain each other instead of idle and internal friction.
According to the prior agreement, corresponding identities will be given one by one.
At the same time, as usual, each ranking in the competition also has corresponding rewards.
The first three, each have a Foundation Building Pill and varying amounts of Spiritual Honey.
From the next ten, each person will receive a pulse-protecting pill and varying amounts of spiritual honey.
For the rest, the rewards are different, and the difference is the amount of spiritual honey.
Most of the rewards are spiritual honey, which inevitably makes people complain. Fortunately, no one will despise the abundance of spiritual honey. No one will despise the spiritual honey that can enhance cultivation.
…
New year and new atmosphere.
On this day, Lu Zhong was practicing in a quiet room.
"Crack!"
There was only a crisp sound, the spiritual energy all over his body stirred up, and at the same time a blood-red aura slowly spread out, but it was he who finally opened the ninth acupoint of the Barbarian Ancestor's Heaven-Swallowing Technique.
Qi and blood are like mercury.
The body is like an oven.
A golden gun never fails.
Xiaocheng's Barbarian Ancestor Body was more effective than Lu Zhong had previously estimated.
"Maybe it's because he often eats dragon meat as a tonic..." Lu Zhong recently ate dragon meat to the point of vomiting, but after torturing himself, the benefits revealed were satisfactory.
Quantitatively speaking, it means being able to resist a little longer without dying.
It seems that you should eat more dragon meat!
While thinking about it, Lu Zhong exited the cultivation state, turned around and went to the Dongfu study room, and began to look through the files submitted by the Bihai Sect and the Chengde Chamber of Commerce in recent times. It contains either information collected by the two major forces, or statistical reports prepared by various managers and deacons based on his requirements.
Make a report and the situation will naturally be clear at a glance.
"...In the year of Renyin, a total of 1,576 disciples were enrolled. Among them, one with two spiritual roots, Yu Yu'er, has been registered as an inner disciple. Those with three spiritual roots... a total of one hundred and two souls." One hundred and three cans, the destination is as follows..."
After reading them one by one, Lu Zhong gave his own evaluation of the development of Bihaizong and Chengde Chamber of Commerce.
increase steadily.
Immediately look at the collected information.
After reading it word for word, Lu Zhong could be said to be filled with disappointment. Regarding the pages of his most desired incarnation, the Bihai Sect and the Chengde Chamber of Commerce had not heard any relevant information.
After thinking about it, he wrote a red comment on the file.
"Continue to increase investment in resources and step up efforts to explore relevant information."
