Huanyun Sect, Luyun Palace.
At this moment, Lu Zhong was sitting opposite the leader of the Huanyun Sect, whose name was "Yuntao" and whose appearance was somewhat similar to Li Qionghua. She was a tall, classical beauty with a rosy face and dark hair.
Judging from the fact that Li Qionghua is invisible in Huanyun Sect, there must be some connection between the two.
But he had no intention of exploring it.
After all, knowing too much can sometimes be a trouble.
After taking a sip of tea, Lu Zhong put down the teacup.
The spiritual tea provided by Huanyun Sect is not bad. It is the precious Taoshan red leaves. It is worth hundreds of spiritual stones outside. However, he had just drank fire dragon tea that was no less than this. This spiritual tea not only tasted excellent, but also had a powerful effect of increasing cultivation.
In comparison, the red leaves of Momoyama pale in comparison.
"how?"
Opposite him, Yuntao was looking at the token in his hand, with light flowing in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something. It's just because of the worries in my heart that I haven't been able to make a decision.
Hearing this, she looked up with a smile.
"There's nothing wrong with the token, but I don't know what your friend's purpose is..."
"Exchange for a treasure of your sect." Lu Zhong stated the purpose bluntly, and then he described the page of the book. There is no need to hide this information. After all, if Yuntao wants to know, it really shouldn't be too easy.
"So it's it..." Yuntao said to himself.
About the origin of that page.
In fact, it was something that was taken from the previous spiritual master when Huanyun Sect was founded. Later, successive Huanyun Sect masters and monks in the sect also specialized in researching this object. However, after spending a lot of effort and resources, the research results ended in failure.
As time goes by, it gathers ashes in the treasure house and no one cares about it.
Now that Lu Zhong wants it, he obviously knows its function.
Suppressing her curiosity, Yuntao issued an order and asked the maid to fetch the thing. Then she looked at Lu Zhong with a smile in her eyes, looked at it carefully for a while, and said bluntly:
"To be honest, I thought that Taoist friend was holding the ancestral token because he was here for Yuntao."
"Why do you say this?" Lu Zhong said calmly.
"Giggle, it's just a promise made when I was young." Yuntao let out a clear and sweet laugh, looking towards the vast sea of clouds outside the palace, "When Yuntao was young, he begged his ancestors to give him a wishful husband, but his ancestors couldn't resist at that time. So I made an agreement to use the 'Thousand Peach Order' as a token, and when the person holding this order appears, he can make any request."
"Among them, there is the option of forming a Taoist couple with Yuntao."
"Do you want to form an alliance with me?" Lu Zhong didn't believe that a Taoist monk would come to her door. Although it was difficult for a beauty like Yuntao to think of rejecting her.
But after thinking about it, he guessed Yuntao's intention behind it. He was probably interested in the power behind him, so he used the method of "marriage".
Chengde Chamber of Commerce and Bihaizong.
Together they are a powerful boost.
"Why are you saying it? It will always look better if you put on a gorgeous coat." Yuntao's voice became hollow, but she did not deny Lu Zhong's statement.
The two were silent for a while.
She lifted up the green hair on her shoulders and twisted it into a curl around her fingers, then turned her head to look at Lu Zhong and said quietly: "What do you think? Fellow Taoist, why don't you give your answer now."
"What can I get?"
"Isn't it enough for me and the Huanyun Sect?" Yuntao laughed.
"Fellow Daoist Yun, don't you think that compared with the troubles he may face, Lv's income is really less?" Lu Zhong looked like he was talking about business. Although the benefits brought by joining the Huanyun Sect as a Taoist monk in the Dan Formation Stage are already a significant weight, they are not enough to offset the malicious intent of the Lingyue Sect.
Yuntao must add more chips.
"Haha, fellow Taoist is really greedy. But isn't that what we monks are like?" Yuntao seemed to have expected it. She reached into her chest with her jade finger, pulled out a jade slip, handed it to Lu Zhong and said, "The information inside is conclusive. Undoubtedly, if fellow Taoist disciples don’t believe it, I can swear a poisonous oath to guarantee it.”
"What is it?"
Lu Zhong stretched out his hand to take it, and found that the jade slip was still warm and had a subtle fragrance. He couldn't help but think that Yun Tao was really good at it. Rather than forming a Taoist couple, maybe it's really a good choice.
Immediately, his spiritual consciousness was immersed.
"True Lord Jun Ling passed away in the secret chamber of Lingyue not long ago..."
When he learned the news, he was so shocked that he almost jumped up from his seat, and his emotions could not calm down for a long time.
Another Nascent Soul Lord has fallen!
Lu Zhong did not doubt whether the news was true or not. Combined with some recent frequent actions of the Lingyue Sect, it was not difficult to analyze it and it was not difficult to analyze that Jun Ling Zhenjun might have passed away.
Currently, Lingyue Sect is still trying its best to prevent the news from leaking out.
After all, once this news is made public, Lingyue Territory will immediately be in turmoil.
In the past, the Lingyue Sect oppressed all the Jindan sects and families. After losing the intimidating combat power of True Lord Nascent Soul, it is not difficult to imagine what the Lingyue Sect will encounter.
"If I join the Huanyun Sect, I might be able to reap great benefits when the Lingyue Sect collapses... If I cooperate well with Master Shui Ni, maybe the next overlord of the Lingyue Domain will be... ..."
Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhong wanted to calm down, but found that Yuntao was staring at him at the moment. Sensing Lu Zhong's gaze, a blush appeared on her cheeks, but it quickly dissipated.
"Ahem, why did fellow Taoist specifically choose marriage as a condition?" He said this not only to change the subject so as to gain more time to think, but also to ask the doubts in his heart.
"The reason..." Yuntao crossed his arms and closed his eyes to think.
"The problem with the technique is part of it. What I practice is the "Taoshan Yunyao Scroll". This technique is very suitable for Taoyao's spiritual body. Therefore, I, Yuntao, can successfully form elixirs within a hundred years with the qualification of three spiritual roots.
But success or failure all depends on this spiritual body.
Although the Taoshan Yunyao Scroll gave me extremely fast cultivation speed, it also brought a side effect that was difficult to solve. As a result, it has been more than three hundred years since the formation of the core, and it is still trapped in the early stage of the formation, unable to make any progress. "
Yuntao didn't explain the side effect, but Lu Zhong could already guess what it was, and it was probably some kind of side effect that had to be solved by practicing with a special person.
It sounds like Yuntao made it up.
However, even if it was really made up, he wanted to be fooled again.
Once the Lingyue Sect collapses, if he can successfully seize some of the benefits, it may be enough for him to have a baby. For this reason, a small sacrifice of color is not a big price.
Lu Zhong noticed his thoughts and couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.
"I'm just a pervert!"
He could obviously just agree to cooperate.
Regarding the sex embryo, Li Hejun and Yu Feng'er were absolutely right. They were truly worthy of being by their side day and night.
But...
There is probably also a charm factor in it.
If he guessed correctly, Momoyama Yunyaojuan must be a charm technique with side effects that are difficult to solve. How could there be no solution in the technique?
"What else?" Lu Zhong already made up his mind, but he still wanted to hear Yuntao finish.
"The remaining reason is naturally the thousand-year-old green blood divine peach tree of Lingyue Sect. After solving the problem of the technique, I naturally want to have a glimpse of the Nascent Soul Avenue, and this tree is my only hope for conceiving a baby."
The trading conditions are clearly listed.
Yuntao knew that she didn't have enough chips, so she pushed herself up.
"Oh, it's really a naked exchange of interests!
I really regret speaking out directly. "
Lu Zhong sighed secretly again, but he didn't think there was anything strange in his heart, so he nodded to Yuntao and said: "No problem, the matter is settled like this. But I want to know, what will Senior Li do in the upcoming big collapse?" , what role will it play?"
"I don't know." Yuntao shook his head.
Then, the palace fell into silence again.
Although the two of them had reached a deal, they were actually just strangers meeting for the first time. Even Jin Dan, who had lived for a long time, could not help but feel a sense of embarrassment at this moment.
Fortunately, at this moment, footsteps came from outside.
The maid went and came back again, and got what Lu Zhong wanted.
Yuntao took a curious look, but didn't ask any more questions.
Lu Zhong, after confirming the authenticity of the pages, nodded with satisfaction. The purpose of this trip was achieved. And there are some extra rewards, not small ones at all.
"Ahem, Shenglingmi will be delivered in about half a year."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the palace door.
Although True Lord Jun Ling is dead, the collapse of Lingyue Sect will still take some time to brew. At the same time, they have to wait for the cannon fodder to take over the desperate counterattack of the Lingyue Sect. After more than ten years, when the Lingyue Sect has exhausted its last bit of strength, it will not be too late to return to the Lingyue Domain.
"Uh, um..." Yuntao was speechless for a moment.
Although she is an ancestor of the sect, she has also thought about how to deal with this situation. You can think about it and practice it. Only when it is actually implemented will you know how difficult it is.
Suppressing the shame in her heart, she blurted out:
"Fellow Daoist Lu, let's cultivate together!"
…
Time flies by, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the Chaosheng Cave.
Lu Zhong slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
After practicing in seclusion for a month this time, his cultivation level has improved slightly. Although it is only an insignificant amount, it is better than the stagnation state of others at the same level.
"It is thanks to the assistance of Guzhongyu that we have made such obvious progress."
The jade in the bone is indeed a rare treasure in the world, and it can actually give Lu Zhong a spiritual energy refining speed that is comparable to that of the Tianling Root. In this case, his cultivation efficiency will naturally be greatly increased.
And recently, the Big Honey Insect Queen finally broke through to the third level after swallowing the Water Dragon Demon Pill. Thanks to this, there are already third-level spiritual honey produced in the insect nest. It's just that the amount of third-level spiritual honey produced is sparse, but the resources consumed are terrifying, which is tantamount to burning spiritual stones directly.
"Just burn money!"
Lu Zhong knew clearly that every drop of the third-order spiritual honey he took was a "third-order demon pill" processed by giant honey worms. The price of third-order demon pills was always expensive, and most of them were specially imported from the East China Sea. , Nanman cannot provide much supply.
There is a risk that the supply of demon pills will be cut off.
But no matter what, this is also a way to stably obtain third-level spiritual objects, and it can stably and effectively train the alchemy monks to the false infant state.
There is an extremely important meaning behind this.
That is——Bihai Sect has obtained the qualification to become the Nascent Soul Sect.
In other words, it can be called "underlying".
"I'm afraid Changchun Valley has a lot of this kind of foundation, otherwise it would be impossible to remain at the top of the seven Southern Barbarian sects. Thinking about it this way, it is estimated that the next Changchun Valley Nascent Soul True Lord will almost be promoted successfully."
"Will it be Qingding?"
When Lu Zhong thought of this, his expression became uncertain.
This person was always a thorn in his side.
"Oh, am I trying to save a gentleman with my villain's heart? I hope, otherwise I will be in big trouble... After all, this person has already started to conceive and retreat."
…
In the following time, Lu Zhong was not idle.
Hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones were invested, and Bihaizong and the Chengde Chamber of Commerce were ordered to do their best to collect the last half page of the book so that they could complete the magical power of "Incarnation Outside the Body".
This magical power is of great significance to him.
If you can obtain a true self, then your future actions will be safe.
General Lv Zhong no longer has to worry too much about his own safety. He can explore the secret realm to find treasures and obtain some urgent resources that he urgently needs.
More importantly, trade in the West can also be restarted.
Compared with running the sect's chamber of commerce honestly, reselling trade is a better way to get rich.
Unfortunately, it backfired.
The scattered spiritual stones could pile up into a hill, but there was still no news about the whereabouts of the half of the page. It was really worrying, but there was nothing that could be done about it.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Zhong didn't want to wait any longer and decided to use external forces.
After deducing the secrets, the function is naturally not only used to find people, but can also be used to find objects. It's just that this secret spell called "finding object spell" has good and bad effects.
Hershey can even give a precise positioning.
But if you are unlucky, the results will be like predictions.
Mysterious and mysterious, it makes people unable to understand it.
Now we can only treat the dead horse as a live doctor.
…
In the Southern Barbarians, there are many forces capable of deducing the secrets of heaven, but not many are willing to take action. As for those who are willing to take action, there are even fewer Lu Zhong who can meet their conditions.
However, there are always exceptions to everything, and the Tiandao Sect has such a strange lineage.
As long as enough spirit stones are given, this "Heavenly Evolution Lineage" will definitely take over the order, and at the expense of lifespan, they will also use this lineage's unique "Heavenly Evolution Technique" to deduce what they want to know for the guests. Secret.
It is said that the Tianyan lineage uses this to obtain resources for cultivation. Therefore, there are many foundation-building practitioners in this lineage. Over time, even Jindan practitioners have increased their numbers.
If it hadn't been for the True Monarch Nascent Soul, they would have taken the title of "the first lineage" of the Tiandao Sect.
"Is this considered cultivating immortality through life?" Lu Zhong thought as he flew.
At this moment, he was flying above the vast sea of sand.
The terrain of the Tiandao Territory is special, mostly desert terrain with no rain all year round. Monks and mortals live together in the oasis. The social structure is very different from the six Southern Barbarian Territories.
In the Heavenly Sword Realm, there is no mortal kingdom.
Some are just large and small cities, villages and towns that either belong to cultivating families or belong to sects. And regardless of whether there are spiritual veins or not, they are all in a state of mixed existence between immortals and mortals.
The reason for this is naturally the special geographical environment of the Tiandao Territory.
There are big sandworms running rampant in Tian Dao territory.
Giant sandworms are famous for their rough skin and thick flesh. Coupled with their huge size, near-immortal terrifying vitality, and strong malice towards water sources, they have gained the reputation of "Oasis Devourers".
Therefore, in order to protect the oasis and the basic mortals in the world of immortality, the monks of the Heavenly Sword Realm evolved this social structure over time to improve the efficiency of resisting the giant sandworm.
Facts have proved that this change is indeed very effective.
According to the records Lu Zhong read in the classics, compared to the period when the immortals were separated, a large number of oasis habitats were in a deteriorating state. Nowadays, the number of oases in the Heavenly Blade Territory has not decreased, but is gradually increasing due to the promotion of artificial spiritual vein technology.
Just as I was thinking about it, a huge oasis appeared in front of me.
