Soon, Lu Zhong successfully met the real person Yongming.
What surprised him was that the two of them had met once before. It was the master Jingxuan who exchanged the Chaos Blood Crystal for the Jade Ming Pill in the Moshi Secret Market.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, this person would actually form a golden elixir.
But now, Yongming Master Jingxuan obviously did not recognize Lu Zhong. He was looking at the stern-faced monk in front of him with a little doubt in his eyes.
After a long while, Shi Jingxuan seemed to confirm something and said tentatively: "If what I expected is correct, fellow Taoist should be just a clone, right?"
"Oh, how can you see it?" Lu Zhong was greatly surprised and couldn't help but ask.
This was the first time the Avatar's flaws were seen.
Lu Zhong couldn't help but feel nervous about the future plan to steal law. After all, a lot of effort and resources had been spent. If someone found out the details, the loss would be too great.
"Haha, it's just a clever trick." Shi Jingxuan stroked his beard and smiled, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip before continuing: "Fellow Taoist, the subtlety of this clone technique is the most exquisite I have ever seen in my life. Being able to hide the 'mysterious mirror' at the city gate is the best example!"
Dividing mirror?
Lu Zhong secretly remembered these words in his heart.
If his guess is correct, this should be an artifact used by the immortal world to prevent clones. From the fact that this word has never appeared in the classics, it can be seen that it should be the secret of the secrets in the sect.
Immediately, as if to win favor, Shi Jingxuan revealed the reason.
As he said before, it was indeed a coincidence.
"Although this clone technique, fellow Taoist, is exquisite, you may not have noticed that after the powerful soul takes over the body, the body will be unable to bear it, so many 'physical decline' phenomena will occur, such as the darkness that is difficult to detect with the eyes, the body Body odor caused by decay, etc..."
"How to solve it?" Lu Zhong asked with interest.
"The solution is both difficult and easy." Shi Jingxuan Dandan glanced at Lu Zhong, but he deliberately played it off. He changed the subject and said with a smile: "But before that, I want to hear the origins of fellow Taoist. , I guess fellow Taoist won’t even be willing to satisfy this small request, right?”
"Becoming an Immortal in One Step"
Hearing this, Lu Zhong smiled.
"I have already said before that I came from the world of cultivating immortals in the East China Sea. As for how I came to the West, it is inconvenient to explain."
When Shi Jingxuan heard this, his face showed a hint of surprise.
Obviously, he never expected that Lu Zhong would not follow the routine and directly explain his origins without any concealment.
No wonder the comments on this information in the files are nonsense.
Thinking of this, Shi Jingxuan couldn't help laughing, looked at Lu Zhong and said: "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Chen is actually an interesting person!"
"Then back to the topic, I can only provide two methods for concealing the details of the clone. The simplest method must have been guessed by fellow Taoists, which is to improve the cultivation of the clone. The closer the cultivation of the main body and the clone, The signs of physical decline are less noticeable.
The second thing... is to take the Soul-joining Pill. This pill is originally the secret medicine of the West Ji Sword Valley. It is specially used for cultivating the mysterious sword. It can also have an excellent improvement effect on Taoist friends who have symptoms of different spirits. , it is definitely enough to deal with things like the 'Xuanxuan Mirror', but if I encounter the 'Soul Appraisal Realm' of the Middle-earth Immortal Sect, then I don't dare to guarantee it..."
Shi Jingxuan said and handed a jade slip to the table.
Lu Zhong looked at him, but did not take it, but said: "No reward for no merit, what should I give in exchange, elixir, rice, elixir, or something else?"
"Fellow Taoist is a cheerful person, so I'll just say it plainly!" Shi Jingxuan's face became serious.
"I swear in the name of Master Liujian Zhenjun, as long as it is something that the monks want to use, no matter what it is, whether it is spiritual stones or elixirs. As long as fellow Taoists can bring them to Night City, then We will buy them all here, remember, it’s all!”
Are supplies in short supply to this extent?
Lu Zhong thought about it and felt that if he wanted to maintain the operation of a world of immortality, it could not only be solved by finding a spiritual vein, but also required a large amount of materials to maintain it. Otherwise, he would encounter a great decline in civilization and return to the century. When the immortals came thousands of years ago.
Especially elixirs such as Foundation Establishment Pill and Metal Formation Pill.
If it disappears, it will definitely lead to a breakdown among high-level monks.
Although it is not impossible to solve these problems with the monk's ability. But this will undoubtedly take time, and it will take thousands of years.
Thinking from his perspective, it is not difficult to understand Shi Jingxuan's mentality at this moment.
Anyone who encounters a straw rope in a desperate situation will definitely grab it without thinking. Although this is a bit exaggerated, it is undoubtedly the best explanation of this mentality.
"Then what can I get?" Lu Zhong didn't agree at all.
Talking about business.
Moreover, monks are a profit-seeking group. There is no reason to waste spiritual stones on doing good deeds for a little kindness. At most, they are just doing it casually.
"Fellow Taoist, please look at this exchange list." Shi Jingxuan said.
Lu Zhong looked at the things above and raised his brows inadvertently. He was a little surprised. The Western Alliance was not really poor. In fact, the family wealth was still extremely rich.
Such as spiritual mines, rare spiritual objects, and various secret techniques, there is really a huge amount.
But unfortunately, they are in urgent need of food.
Not to mention the elixirs, pills and other items necessary for monks to improve their cultivation.
"Is the resale trade going to start again?" Lu Zhong seemed to be calm at this moment, but in fact he couldn't help but feel excited, as if he saw rolling spiritual stones coming towards him.
Be calm!
Being a second-tier dealer now is not as easy as it used to be.
Due to the changes in the world of Nanman, the difficulty of obtaining various spiritual materials must be several times that before the dry tide.
And the most important thing is that he has to beware of the probing by the minions of the Supreme Transformation God.
Although it is said that decades have passed since the last incident, these are decades in the eyes of the alchemy monks. In exchange for the nearly endless longevity of the God Transformation Supreme Master, it might just be a time for someone to take a nap.
So Lu Zhong had to guard against it.
This also leads to the rational destination of some sensitive materials such as foundation-building pills and gold-forming pills.
He decided to wait and think of a solution for this matter later. A method could always be found, so it was better to agree to the deal first.
Although I say that there is hope for a baby now, it is related to my life and future path, so there is nothing wrong with making more preparations. After all, once the baby fails, it means that the future will be cut off.
Furthermore, if the baby is born by luck, there will always be a challenge in the future.
Therefore, there is no shortage of cultivation resources.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong put down the list.
"If there is no problem with the list, then the next time Mr. Chen comes, he will definitely bring a large amount of supplies, which will surely satisfy your alliance. As for the price, your offer is high enough, and I am not greedy. People, so they no longer bargain for generals.
Regarding the carrying of these supplies, the storage bags are still a bit conspicuous. I wonder if you have large storage devices here? "
The reason why Lu Zhong said this was because he had the idea of taking the Shanshanzhou back to the Southern Barbarians.
After hearing this, Shi Jingxuan was not angry but happy.
Listening to what Chen Dong meant, it was obvious that he wanted to bring a lot of things over. He naturally wanted it, so he thought for a while and then said: "I do have a pseudo-cave treasure here, which can bring a lot of things at once, but due to the inconvenience The reason is that it is on the verge of destruction and will only be used once or twice unless materials are found to repair it.”
Is there really any drama?
Lu Zhong was a little surprised.
Pseudo cave treasure.
He guessed that it should be an imitation of some cave treasure.
After some conversation, Lu Zhong learned the name of this imitation. It was an imitation of the famous "Mountain and River Picture" in the world of self-cultivation. It had the same name as the imitation, and the internal space was not small at all. It was said that it could initially have It's a thousand miles in size, and even now it's on the verge of being destroyed, there's still ten miles left.
Ten miles is enough to load the mountain-shaking boat.
Then a spiritual contract was made.
As long as Lu Zhong can bring one million kilograms of spiritual rice and various spiritual objects worth tens of millions of spiritual stones to the Western Territory Alliance within a hundred years, he will be able to obtain the right to use the Mountain and River Map for free. Otherwise, he will have to compensate the Western Territory Alliance for its losses. That is one million kilograms of spiritual rice.
Use the conditions that can be easily met in exchange for a mountain-shaking boat.
He undoubtedly made a lot of money from this transaction.
Originally, Lu Zhong wanted to ask whether or to what extent the Western Alliance has made progress in the aura conversion technology.
After thinking about it again, I decided to forget it.
After all, the relationship is not yet in place.
If you ask, you will most likely not get an answer, and you will be regarded as having ulterior motives.
After refilling the tea several times, the two of them kept insinuating each other, trying to find out what they wanted to know. After a confrontation, each gained something.
Then he stayed in the Night City for half a month, waiting for the mountain and river map to be delivered.
On the mountain-shaking boat.
Lu Zhong slowly opened his eyes.
I have to say that talking to a Chengfu Jiedan like Shi Jingxuan did put a lot of pressure on him. Although there are no flaws, it is really annoying to deal with.
Fortunately, the results are good.
Not only did they reach a transaction intention, but they also found a way to take Shanshan Zhou away. After the ship is repaired afterwards, it may be of great use.
Lu Zhong glanced out the window, seeing the permeating scarlet aura and the rock walls that were corroded like rotten matter. He couldn't help but feel excited and excited, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"I can finally leave this hellish place!"
But there is one more thing he needs to do, and that is to collect the double-tailed spiral crystals.
The double-tailed spiral crystals here in the Western Region are of extremely high quality, equivalent to the double-tailed spiral crystals produced by Yuanying-level evil spirits. The Xuanyang Sect spent a lot of money to obtain one some time ago.
Now Lu Zhong can easily get such a double-tailed spiral crystal just by picking it up outside.
What else is there to be unhappy about?
Just do it.
Shi Jingxuan has already said that it will take half a month to deliver the mountain and river map, so Lu Zhong plans to take advantage of this time to go out and see if he can encounter the "corruption beast" and pick up the double-tailed spiral crystal.
And this depends on luck.
…
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Zhong returned from the western border smoothly.
He placed the Shanshan Boat underground in the Bihai Sect, where a huge dock was dug. In the future, an underground river will be dug to connect it to the sea outside. This ship will be docked here for a long time to come.
To this end, Lu Zhong is also preparing to arrange an incarnation.
The incarnation will inherit all his formation knowledge and be responsible for repairing the damaged Shanshan Boat. The process may take a long time. After all, Shanshanzhou involves a large number of fourth-order formations. Due to realm issues, monks in the Danjie stage may not have as good a knowledge of the world as Yuanying Zhenjun. It is not easy to study the fourth-order formations clearly. easy.
At the same time, the collection of materials is also proceeding steadily.
Thanks to the huge number of people in the Bihai Sect and the growing transaction volume of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce, it is not difficult to get all kinds of supplies by adjusting the "drift" coefficient. It may even increase due to the increase in the types of supplies. And becomes extremely easy.
After arranging the two things, Lu Zhong's life returned to peace.
In the later stage of pill formation, the speed of cultivation slows down again. Even if the Jade Vein Gong is fully achieved, the speed is still unsatisfactory when taking the elixirs suitable for the late stage of pill formation.
He didn't have any good ideas for this.
Due to limited qualifications, at this stage, all that can be done is to raise enough training resources, and then take pills and refine Qi day after day to accumulate cultivation.
Until the cultivation reaches the completion of the elixir formation stage, that is, the false infant state.
This day.
Lu Zhongzheng and Yu Feng'er were eating and chatting at the waterside pavilion.
Chatting, basically talking about whatever comes to mind.
Or it may be the recent major events in the Southern Barbarians, or another secret realm has appeared somewhere, and how many monks have been killed or injured in exploring it.
Just when the two were chatting deeply in love.
The maid came to tell them that Su Caocao and He Luo were outside asking for a meeting.
Yu Feng'er rolled her eyes at Lu Zhong, straightened her messy clothes, and said angrily: "I'm going to retreat, don't come to me."
After saying a few words, she turned around and walked out of the waterside pavilion.
But Lu Zhong clearly saw that Yu Feng'er was heading towards the bedroom.
This woman!
He immediately sat upright and waited quietly for the two people to arrive.
After not seeing each other for a while, the eldest disciple Su Caocao has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and is consolidating his foundation according to Lu Zhong's previous requirements, so his temperament has become more calm.
As for the second disciple He Luo, he has only reached the third level of Qi Refining. Considering his young age, this progress is actually quite reasonable.
"Disciple Su Caocao has met Master!"
"Disciple He Luo, I have met the master!"
The two of them saluted separately.
Lu Zhong raised his hand to ask them to get up. Based on the files that Lu Baokui handed over a while ago, he already had a guess about the two people's intentions.
"You two, do you want to go out and have some experience?
I'm sure about this. "
After hearing this, the two people below looked at each other. Obviously they did not expect this outcome. According to their speculation before coming, the master would most likely refuse.
Seeing their expressions in his eyes, Lu Zhong couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart.
Geniuses who can grow up are real geniuses.
If you die...
Haha, then I will pretend that I don’t have this apprentice.
Of course, Lu Zhong will not be missing the two of them as the master has to fulfill his duties, and there will still be necessary protection. He will send his incarnation Yin Li to protect the two of them secretly.
