The following days.
In addition to his daily meditation practice, Lu Zhong also began to spend half a day studying the weapon refining experience he got from Huo Yezi, hoping to use this to improve his weapon refining skills.
Life is as boring and dull as ever.
Fortunately, after living for more than a hundred years, I have already become accustomed to this state.
Another day of practice is over.
Lu Zhong slowly finished his work, with a look of joy on his face.
The effect of the Jade in the Bone's auxiliary training was impressive, allowing him to once again experience the feeling of rapid advancement in cultivation. Now that the realm is in the middle stage of elixir formation, this kind of experience is valuable.
Especially now, on the way to the later stage of pill formation, the amount of elixir liquid required to be accumulated is enough to prohibit ordinary pill formation monks.
If it is difficult to obtain resources yourself, or if there is no support from the power behind you, then countless days and nights of hard work will most likely result in a lack of effort.
How many people have given up on spiritual practice due to this kind of despair and turned their energy to other aspects.
Lu Zhong is different from them. Although his cultivation speed is slow and cannot even be described as "turtle crawling", after a period of accumulation, the progress is visible to the naked eye.
"You really need to compare to have a sense of accomplishment."
Lu Zhong couldn't help but think so.
Unfortunately, even in the middle stage of elixir formation, the number of times a monk can perform exercises per day is still limited. Even if he practiced the Jade Vein Technique and the Barbarian Ancestor's Heaven Swallowing Technique, it was only a slight improvement.
Never a true genius.
However, Lu Zhong was quite satisfied with this.
You must know that he only has the qualifications of the Four Spiritual Roots, and he is at a lower than average level among the monks. But today's achievements in the immortal path have already surpassed most monks.
This is definitely something to be proud of!
Then Lu Zhong took the victory.
He took out a magical weapon, the Flame Bead, and there were flames leaping inside, which looked quite spiritual. This is the ingested flame essence, referred to as "fire essence".
After punching a few spells into it, the Nayan Pearl trembled and emitted bursts of red light.
At the same time, wisps of fire essence were ingested by him.
After looking at it for a while, it spit out the Ziyou Jihuo again. When it saw the fire spirit, it emitted joy and excitement, which made Lu Zhong, who was slightly worried, feel at ease.
He pinched his fingers to form a restriction to prevent the fire essence from escaping and disappearing, and then released the Ziyou Extreme Fire.
The fire tongue licked and swallowed up the fire spirit.
Thanks to the spiritual nourishment in the fire essence, the Ziyouji Fire seems to be a little more agile.
Lu Zhong observed it carefully and after confirming that it had no abnormal changes, he handed over the remaining fire essence in the Nayan Bead to the Ziyou Extreme Fire to devour it.
"The effect is not much different from what I expected. The Fire Essence is indeed effective against the Purple Nether Extreme Fire, and can have the effect of enhancing the spiritual fire. And if it is cultivated in the long run, the spirituality will be greatly improved, and maybe something else will appear in the future. An unexpected transformation.”
"It seems that we need to increase the collection of fire spirits from now on."
He studied for a while, and then he was satisfied and took the Ziyou Extreme Fire into his body.
Get up and walk out of the quiet room.
There was a salty sea breeze blowing in front of me, and it was already hot summer outside.
Lu Zhongyou still clearly remembered that it was early spring when he started to retreat, but unexpectedly it was this season in the blink of an eye, not far from the Lantern Festival.
When I came to the main hall, I took a few sips of the spiritual tea.
Soon there were footsteps. It was Yu Feng'er who came in with a large bowl of meat, put it on the big solid wood table in front of him, threw a smile at Lu Zhong, and said softly:
"Husband, I have stewed a pot of good meat for you. How does it taste?"
"Um..." Lu Zhong looked at the "good meat" in the pot without leaving any trace. He didn't know what kind of monster it was from, but he always felt that the shape was a bit suspicious.
Glancing at Yu Feng'er next to her, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could it be that female cultivators are also "middle-aged"? They have become more and more troublesome recently. Seeing her watching from the side with a look of anticipation on her face, I had no choice but to pick up the kuaizi, hold up a good piece of meat and put it into her mouth.
The taste is not bad, but the ingredients are a bit weird.
"Well! Don't stand still, come and eat with me." Lu Zhong smiled and took the bowl in Yu Feng'er's hand, and also gave her a bowl of good meat, which made the latter blush slightly.
Seeing her husband looking at her with a smile, Yu Feng'er's face turned even redder.
The two of them ate a little bit at a time, and soon they were able to eat all the soup and meat.
After refining the body.
Lu Zhong's digestion ability has greatly increased. Several kilograms of meat are just appetizers and can be digested with just a few exercises. Then the maid began to serve the food, but there was no dragon meat. After all, he had already been injured by eating that thing, so he ordered it to be replaced with second-level sea beast meat.
Dishes are exquisitely prepared by talented chefs.
The presentation is very good, but I always get tired of eating too much. It's not as good as Yu Feng'er's pot of "dark stew". You can't tell the origin of each ingredient before you eat it.
It's just a bit heavy-duty, which goes against his usual bland diet.
After the two of them finished eating, as Lu Zhong had expected, Yu Feng'er got fed up and said that she had gathered the "Pulse Quenching Prescription". This word almost became a code word.
"Don't ask for mercy later!" Lu Zhong said angrily.
This woman took the initiative every time, but even though she was already a cultivator of alchemy, she still acted like a low-level female cultivator, and backed off every time. It makes him feel very uncomfortable every time when he can't get up or down.
"Who is afraid of whom?" Yu Feng'er refused to show weakness, puffed up her chest and said harshly.
But then I thought of Lu Zhong's power, and his aura suddenly weakened. He glanced at Lu Zhong secretly, and couldn't help but timidly said: "Husband, please have mercy on me..."
"Hmph!"
…
One day three years later.
It was only slightly bright when Lu Zhong came out of the quiet room.
Thanks to a large investment of resources, the whereabouts of a book page were finally found, but it was in the hands of the Huanyun Sect of the Lingyue Domain. Due to the need to hide the secret behind the pages. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, it cannot be obtained through normal negotiation methods, and he needs to go and deal with it in person.
Looking at the quiet room opposite, Yu Feng'er was still in retreat.
Since forming the elixir, the number of times the two met has obviously decreased significantly compared to before. Either Lu Zhong was in seclusion and couldn't come out, or Yu Feng'er was taking pills for months to practice.
"Maybe it was because she was aware of this that she repeatedly used the 'Pulse Quenching Prescription' as a link to maintain her relationship." Lu Zhong couldn't help but smile when he thought of this.
The idea is quite good, but the implementer of the plan is a bit weak.
Every time I lose, I have to hold on to the wall.
…
Half a month later.
Lu Zhong came to Huanyun Sect.
The reason why it took so long was that I went to Heling Sect halfway to visit Master Shui Ni to connect with him and get a small piece of the Star Stone, which was an unexpected surprise.
At this moment, he was standing on a cliff ten thousand feet tall.
Looking forward, you can see a turbulent sea of clouds, and in the center of the sea of clouds, there is a huge building complex, which is the mountain gate of Huanyun Sect.
According to the information provided by the Chengde Chamber of Commerce, Huanyun Sect seems to have been in trouble recently.
Lu Zhong felt that this was an opportunity, and he might be able to get the pages of the book smoothly, even if the process was a little troublesome.
"Before that, let's go to Huanyunfang City to see if we can learn anything."
He restrained his aura and pretended to be in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, so as not to frighten the Huanyun Sect monk who only had an ancestor in the early stage of Core Formation.
Then he jumped off the cliff and flew towards Huanyunfang City under the sea of clouds.
There are slender roads and lakes and mountains and rivers.
The location of Huanyunfang City is really a beautiful place. The magnificent scenery is like a splash-ink painting, and it can be ranked among the top places Lu Zhong has visited.
After taking a few more glances, I landed at the entrance of Fangshi.
There were quite a few monks queuing up to enter the workshop, some were rushing to transport raw materials, and some looked dusty and had no idea what they were doing in Huanyunfang City. They lined up for nearly a mile.
When the city guard saw Lu Zhong coming, he wanted to ask him to go back and queue up, but suddenly he felt a powerful aura coming from him. The source was the inconspicuous Taoist priest in front of him. His originally indifferent expression changed one hundred and eighty times. The degree of change changed, and he immediately started to please me with a smile on his face.
"Senior, please come this way!"
With that said, the guard led Lu Zhong and walked directly into the workshop.
"I heard something happened here recently. I wonder what it is about?" Lu Zhong threw a spiritual stone and asked the round-faced fat guard who was leading the way.
These people are local snakes, and it would be perfect to ask them for information.
"Senior doesn't know yet. Junior thought you were here to participate in the demon-killing order..." The fat guard took the spirit stone, and the smile on his face became wider, and his round face almost wrinkled with joy.
"A group of demon cultivators have appeared in the north. The sect leader has already issued an order to eliminate demons, summoning powerful monks to work together to eliminate demons. It is suitable for an expert like you, senior, to participate. I heard that if you accumulate enough credit, even Even the foundation-building pills in the treasure house can be redeemed!"
Having said this, the fat guard couldn't help but envy the senior in front of him.
Seniors are highly cultivated and live a happy life of high and low. There is no one like him who has to get up before dawn every day and stand guard, regardless of wind, frost, rain or snow all year round.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was another spiritual stone in his hand.
The fat guard was grateful and wanted to say thank you, but when he looked up, he found that there was still a senior figure there.
…
Street tea stall.
Lu Zhong changed his clothes and was drinking tea here.
The fat guard has just described the troubles Huanyun Sect is currently facing. Judging from the fact that Foundation Establishment Pills can be redeemed, I'm afraid this trouble is not small at all.
"What we need to confirm now is whether the book page is on the redemption catalog."
Determining this is easy, just go to Huanyun Sect.
Since they are issuing this kind of reward, there is no reason not to prepare a corresponding redemption catalog, and the redemption price will definitely be marked on it.
"I hope so..."
Otherwise, things will be a lot more troublesome.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Zhong's expression suddenly changed slightly. He looked up and found that a female cultivator wearing a black veil was sitting opposite him at some unknown time. Moreover, this person seemed a bit familiar to him.
Li Qionghua!
Escape, or...
His heart was spinning, and he quickly thought of countermeasures.
The man opposite him was a ruthless man, who had seriously injured the Nascent Soul Lord, and was someone who dared to be hostile to the Yuanying Sect. Against such a person, he estimated that his chances of winning were very low.
So there is only one way, and that is - escape!
"Pfft, you are so interesting as a junior!" Li Qionghua suddenly laughed. She seemed to see through Lu Zhong's intention. Seeing that he wanted to stand up and salute, she said first: "You and I can treat each other as Taoist friends. It's rare to see each other." I found someone I don’t hate so much, so I just wanted to catch up on old times.”
As she said that, she looked at Lu Zhong suspiciously.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you who have become a foundation-building monk, do you want to participate in the demon-killing order? If that's the case, maybe this book, uh, I can help. Fellow Taoist, you haven't redeemed the catalog yet, um, this is it. I I’ve never helped you in vain, and in return, you have to express your gratitude.”
Lu Zhong reached out to take it, and got bad news with a glance of his consciousness.
That page is not in the catalog.
Recalling Li Qionghua's words just now, this old Yuanying monster seemed to have expected it. Perhaps this is why she can help everywhere.
Oh, what an old monster!
Lu Zhong was secretly complaining, and he was not afraid that Li Qionghua would know about it. If the other party could guess it, he would probably not care about it. After thinking for a while, he decided to listen to this woman's request.
Although this is a bit like seeking skin from a tiger.
"I wonder what Daoyou Li needs in return?"
"Haha, I really guessed it!" Li Qionghua looked around Lu Zhong's body with a half-smile, and said as if joking: "But, let me think about it. Spiritual stones? These things are meaningless. Uh. , Kung Fu? My Kung Fu seems to be quite good. Well, what if... I want you?"
"Fellow Taoist, you are joking..." Lu Zhong remained calm, but he couldn't help but think to himself.
What's wrong with Li Qionghua? She seems to be possessed by something crazy. Compared with when the two first met, she no longer has the stability of True Lord Yuanying.
It's almost like he's changed into a different person.
Is this the price for seriously injuring True Lord Nascent Soul?
"Of course, I was just joking. Could it be that fellow Taoist thought..." Li Qionghua seemed to be enjoying it, and then chuckled: "After talking to fellow Taoist like this, my mood actually improved a lot. It seems that Dao You are also my lucky star. Okay, no more joking.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
This is a token. With it, fellow Taoists can enter the Huanyun Sect's treasure house and choose something at will. Even the sect leader himself can do it! Hahaha! "
When Li Qionghua said this, she couldn't help laughing, but seeing Lu Zhong's face calm, she stopped smiling: "Huh, boring! My conditions are very simple. Spiritual honey, ten thousand kilograms of spiritual honey!"
This old monster is quite sure!
Lu Zhong cursed secretly in his heart.
He even said that he was passing by, maybe he had a premeditated plan in mind.
The condition of ten thousand kilograms of spiritual honey was right on his bottom line.
"What do you want with so much spiritual honey?"
"Of course it's not about refining the spirit liquid. As for the specific function, it's not impossible to tell... Haha, as long as Fellow Daoist Lu can stay with me for one night, um, just one night will be fine." Li Qionghua said seriously.
An opportunity lies ahead.
Lu Zhong always felt that this woman was not joking.
What is it like to be a Nascent Soul female cultivator? If he agrees, he might actually be able to experience it.
But then I thought about it and decided to forget it. I don’t know what kind of calculations were mixed in.
I'm just a little kid, but I'm not as thoughtful as a thousand-year-old monster.
"Ten thousand kilograms of spiritual honey is equivalent to spiritual honey, that's no problem!"
"Hmph! I don't know what's wrong." Li Qionghua seemed angry. She slapped the token on the table, stood up and walked out of the tea stall. Before leaving, she said, "Just send the things to Huanyun Sect." .”
"..." Lu Zhong.
