Time passes little by little.
Perhaps the evil forces had gained a new territory, or perhaps they did not want to continue to irritate the forces in the Qingnang region, so they calmed down for a rare moment.
Without outside interference, Lu Zhong lived a fulfilling and peaceful life.
Practice, make elixirs, study the secrets of exercises, and occasionally go out to taste spiritual food to lighten your mood.
Just like that, two years passed in a flash.
On this day, a piece of news came back.
After secretly inquiring for a long time, the news about the crystal with Jinya finally came to fruition.
"I see...no wonder, no wonder..."
Looking at the jade slip in his hand, Lu Zhong's face glowed red.
Very helpful!
Originally, he was worried that using moonlight crystals to refine his body would cause him to be contaminated by the lunar moon and cause himself to become abnormal. But I never thought that the solution was already in my own hands.
You only need to refine the gold teeth crystals to get the pure golden breath.
Mix it with Shen Qi and you will be in a "non-invading" state
In this state, all evils can be corroded and easily destroyed, and Taiyin pollution is no exception.
According to Lu Zhong's guess, the reason why Taoist Miaolian was nervous about this thing was most likely because he wanted to leave a way out for himself. Once she has this thing in her body, she can take the initiative to advance and retreat. Whether she continues to stay under the evil command, or eliminates the erosion of the evil on her body, and returns to the path of immortality, she can do whatever she wants.
After getting such a treasure, Lu Zhong was so excited that he couldn't help himself for a long time.
"However, it is not easy to refine this thing."
Lu Zhong recalled the contents of the jade slip and frowned inadvertently.
You must prepare a copy of "Fossil Spiritual Water".
He didn't feel surprised about this.
After all, cultivating immortality is a process of continuously accumulating resources.
From the beginning of the Qi Refining Stage to the current Divine Transformation Stage, it has never changed.
Regarding the configuration of the Fossil Spiritual Water, it is simple to say the least. Even obtaining the materials is unusually simple.
It's nothing more than concentrating a massive amount of spiritual energy into a liquid state.
Using this as a base, a certain amount of stone marrow is integrated into it, and then the energy of Mother Earth is instilled.
In this way, the fossil spiritual water can be made.
For Lu Zhong today, it is not difficult to configure one.
"The materials can be collected now."
Lu Zhong thought silently.
It is better for materials to wait for people than for people to wait for materials.
He had already decided in his mind that if the trip to Shuzhou was not possible, he would immediately start refining the fossil spiritual water.
After this thing is refined, if you continue to cultivate it, its efficacy will also be improved.
...
In the new year, Lu Zhong still made a guarantee.
He had no choice but to barely complete the task with just the alchemy workshop in his hands.
If we want to change this situation, we can only take back the government-run plantations.
Soon, news came back from Shuzhou.
Neither good nor bad.
According to the incarnation's investigation, the forces invaded by the Sons of Changchun in Shuzhou are not really powerful.
There are only seven people in total who are capable of becoming gods.
Known as the "Seven Honorable Men".
Among them, those with the highest cultivation level are in the late stage of becoming gods, while the others are in the early or middle stage.
Lu Zhong thought to himself that it was not difficult to deal with these seven people.
However, things are not as simple as they seem.
Zhu evil, the son of Changchun, a heretic force that rose up 30,000 years ago.
The monks of this Tao respect the "God of Eternal Spring" and in return, they gain longevity. There are often old monks who have reached the end of their life and turn to this Tao in order to continue to survive.
It is precisely for this reason that the son of Changchun keeps banning him.
Gein, the fear of death.
Lu Zhong had a preliminary understanding of the Son of Changchun's fighting style.
Longevity technique, plundering to replenish oneself.
This is also why the Sons of Changchun are extremely aggressive. After all, if they want to survive, they must try to control more living beings, so as to plunder more longevity, and then refine the longevity pill to survive.
This is the so-called "plundering to maintain longevity".
Fighting with the Son of Changchun often results in no physical injuries, but a huge loss of life span.
However, Lu Zhong was not too worried about this.
After all, the so-called longevity technique is essentially the same as Taoism.
All are achieved by consuming divine energy.
Therefore, as long as there is spirit to protect the Yang God, there is no need to worry about wear and tear.
Based on the above information, Lu Zhong decided to go to Shuzhou.
At the same time, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
For example, he was not prepared to leak the travel information, such as being plotted against by someone with ulterior motives.
Late at night, Lu Zhong went out quietly.
...
Shuzhou is located to the west of Qingnang Territory, with a radius of one hundred thousand miles.
Among the states in the Qingnang Region, it is only a remote small state at the bottom. In addition, the products are poor and there is nothing worth pursuing, so that the most powerful one among them is only the Yuanying family.
now.
It's still some time before noon.
Lu Zhong's journey was full of hardships, and it took him half a year to set out from Qingnang Fairy City and arrive at Shuzhou Prefecture.
In order to avoid trouble, I simply turned into a small casual cultivator.
It’s only the third level of Qi refining.
When he came to a simple tea stall on the side of the road, he ordered a cup of spiritual tea to soothe his throat.
Unexpectedly, I just sat down not long ago.
Suddenly, several figures fell from the sky.
He is wearing a greenish robe, which is not a common style for monks. It also has a left hem and is decorated with chaotic scroll patterns. Both men and women, old and young, all have eye shadow and other makeup, which makes them look quite colorful.
And this is exactly the characteristic of the "Son of Changchun" dress.
Seeing the visitor, everyone in the thatched hut, whether they were mortals or monks, all had slightly changed expressions.
Many people lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.
Although the invasion of the Sons of Changchun was not as cruel as other heretics and immediately set off a massacre, the price was a monthly "life tax". Those who did not follow the Changchun Way had to pay three or five months, while those who converted to Taoism had to pay a fixed tax. January.
The slightest resistance will attract punishment.
The few "Children of Changchun" who just appeared had punishment emblems on them.
The visitor entered the thatched cottage, looked around with cold eyes, and finally settled on a certain table.
"How dare you resist taxes!"
Lu Zhong noticed that the other party was looking in his own direction. If he didn't know who this person meant, but the guests at the table behind him, they would think that these punishment messengers were here to cause trouble for him.
On the other side, after hearing the words of the punishment envoy, a young man in a bamboo hat at the corner of the thatched hut suddenly changed his expression.
Almost immediately, he took out a golden talisman from his body.
"Snapped!"
The golden talisman was activated and turned into dense golden needles and shot out.
However, the young man in the hat took action, and the punishment envoy took action. The leader burst out with an aura similar to that of Ji Zhu. After a burst of silver light appeared on his body, his original black hair turned white. At the same time, vortexes appeared on his fingertips, and then A beast roar came out.
"Shou Gui, help me!"
Following this cry, an arm suddenly appeared from the whirlpool.
But it is not hideous and terrifying, but as beautiful as mutton fat and jade.
There are mysterious patterns all over it.
The arm suddenly stretched out, and in the lightning flash, across a distance of more than a hundred feet, it pinched out the young man in the bamboo hat who was flying into the air and wanted to escape, making him unable to move anymore.
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with alcohol!"
"Just wait and see, this is the result of refusing to pay taxes!"
The Punisher sneered and shot a black light at the gray-faced young man in mid-air.
Immediately, the young man aged rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After a while, it became an old and dead corpse.
After witnessing this scene completely, Lu Zhong's understanding of the Son of Changchun has deepened a lot.
Especially the "longevity ghost".
In his opinion, this is clearly a summoning technique.
Perhaps due to his low strength, the Punisher was unable to summon his true form, but the borrowed power only helped this person achieve his goal. Although his strength is close to that of Foundation Establishment, he can easily squeeze out the lifespan of young people in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
"If nothing unexpected happens, I will also have to face this method when I fight against them later."
If you are not careful, you may end up overturning.
Lu Zhong was slightly surprised, thinking that this method was really difficult to deal with.
More secretly, it was a fluke.
Fortunately, I learned about it in advance, otherwise it would be extremely troublesome to encounter this kind of summoning method without being caught off guard.
Thinking of this, he started retracing the scene.
The purpose is naturally to find a way to crack it.
Soon, there will be results.
The summoning technique used by the Son of Changchun can certainly be called magical, but it has a huge shortcoming, that is, it relies on space transmission. As long as space teleportation is prohibited, this technique will not be useful.
And just like that, Lu Zhong has the Qingming Forbidden Bottle.
...
With the means to deal with it, Lu Zhong felt confident.
It took another half a month to finally arrive at Shuzhou City.
Shuzhou City is a place where immortals and mortals live together.
Therefore, the scale of urban construction is huge, covering an area of thousands of miles and housing nearly 100 million people. If you stand on Shuyang Mountain in the center of the city, no matter which direction you look, you will see sprawling buildings everywhere you look.
Standing in front of the city gate, Lu Zhong raised his head and squinted his eyes.
I saw that the sky above this city was filled with extremely strong resentment.
"This son of Changchun, after successfully occupying Shuzhou, has really squeezed the lives of this place. From this point of view, they really deserve to be killed. It's time for the killing sword to drink the blood of all evil!"
With this thought in his mind, he strode into Shuzhou City.
Three days later, a major incident shocked the whole city.
The seventh venerable, together with his subordinates, were all lost in the cave.
No clues were left at the scene.
As soon as this happened, the other sages were immediately outraged.
"Check, we must get to the bottom of it!" the Great Reverend Lian Marucheng said with anger on his face.
In his view, this move was tantamount to provocation.
At this time, a figure wearing a black burqa, who looked like a man and a woman, let out a burst of sneers and suggested: "I see, the investigation is not enough... If not, select another batch of sacrifices, This time I will choose those immortal cultivators. Only by performing blood sacrifices to the gods can these resisters know that my respect for the Way of Changchun cannot be offended!"
"Okay! Let's do it like this!"
Ren Maruchi laughed.
But the order was issued not long ago, and the blood sacrifice could not be held in time.
The next day, another sage died.
This time it was the sixth lord.
As the instigator, Lu Zhong's current state couldn't be better.
Thanks to the plunder of the killing sword, after killing two heretic monks one after another, the aura lingering around him now increased again and again, reaching an unprecedented height.
Because of this, Yang Shen's growth rate, which had slowed down, returned to a high speed.
"This feeling is really addictive."
Lu Zhong sighed. Although he felt reluctant to give up, he still gave up the idea of continuing to take action.
There is no other way, the remaining five venerables have already gathered together.
Even though he took advantage of the gray fog space, he still couldn't find an opportunity to take action.
However, the effect of killing two heretic gods this time was very obvious.
At least according to the news from the Incarnation side, the influence of the Sons of Changchun in Shuzhou has recently changed from its previous covetous appearance at the borders with other states, and has been forced to shrink.
"So, who should I choose as my next target?"
Lu Zhong sat cross-legged in the guest room and thought quietly.
Is it the fifth venerable one or the first venerable one?
He hasn't thought about it yet.
But no matter who it is, they need to kill the target in the shortest possible time.
At least it must be seriously injured, rendering it incapacitated.
Otherwise, once other venerables come to support.
One against five, Lu Zhong was really not sure.
Since I couldn't make a choice at the moment, I could only let it go for the time being.
Lu Zhong turned around and thought about another thing.
After searching the souls of the Sixth and Seventh Masters, he discovered that behind the Son of Changchun, there were actually evil deals with many immortal cultivators.
"The longevity fruit, I never thought that this thing could be used by immortal cultivators."
The son of Changchun plunders the longevity essence and can use the longevity technique to refine it into longevity fruit.
The longevity fruit can increase your life span by as little as one year, or as much as hundreds of years.
On the surface, there are no side effects.
But Lu Zhong knew without thinking that this was absolutely impossible.
This situation could not help but remind him of the incident of the ancestor of Shuyang, why a veteran Nascent Soul who was firmly committed to Taoism suddenly switched to non-Taoism. It would be too far-fetched to simply say that it is fear of death.
The Taoist heart of a monk is not as fragile as glass, and is usually extremely difficult to change.
"Maybe I've taken longevity fruit!"
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, but he couldn't draw a conclusion.
After all, everything is just conjecture with no real evidence.
...
Two venerables fell in succession.
Inside the Sons of Changchun, panic suddenly arose.
Once the above cannot maintain a deterrent effect, it can be said that these low-level monks with low strength will be attacked by a group. Facing the extremely angry immortal cultivators who had their life span taken away, they would definitely end up dead.
"boom!"
Futon's big hand slapped the table hard.
Ren Maruchi's face was gloomy, almost dripping with water.
"It's been so long, how come there's still no reply? Could it be that even if we threaten to leak the longevity fruit deal, they still refuse to provide information?"
"Yes, there is, but they can't be sure."
The second venerable, Bei Hao, lifted off the light-shielding hood, revealing a bewitching face and making a voice that was indistinguishable from male to female.
"What's the reply over there?"
"I suspect he is a passing monk, and there is a small chance that he is in charge of Qingnang."
"Qingnang is in charge, that bastard?"
A voice came from outside the hall.
Following the sound of heavy footsteps, a burly man wearing fiery red armor entered the hall.
"Hunt? Xuan Kai, you underestimate him too much. I don't think a late-stage god-transformation monk who is recognized by the Earth Palace and can complete his tasks every year is a bastard." The second venerable Bei Haowei looked at At a glance, people just list information to refute.
"With the strength in the late stage of becoming a god, I can indeed wipe out those two trashes silently."
After hearing this, even Maruchi felt that it made sense.
At this time, he looked at the burly man and said:
"Xuan Kai, how are you preparing for the blood sacrifice?"
Hearing this, Xuan Kai showed a bloodthirsty smile and said eagerly: "It goes without saying that everything is in order. I have already laid out various means to ambush him. As long as that person dares to show up, I will keep him trapped."
"Tomorrow is his death limit!"
But while the three of them were still discussing, someone suddenly came to report from outside the palace.
"It's not good, the great lord, the second lord, the fourth lord!"
"The Three Lords and the Five Lords lost contact at the same time!"
