Quiet room.
The fragrance of tea lingers.
Lu Zhong put down the teacup, looked at the jade slip on the table, and couldn't help but frown.
This jade slip comes from the storage ring of the high priest.
The contents recorded in it are all related to the excavation of the ruins. All records are very detailed and organized, which is very consistent with the consistent style of Ghost Lantern.
The reason that made him frown was that this ruin was actually related to the Ghost Light Path.
In the words of the high priest, the words "ancestor" and "ancestor" were used many times.
In this way, Lu Zhong could not help but think of something.
Could it be that Ghost Lantern is the original owner of this place?
"Forget it, yes or no."
All this has nothing to do with him.
Lu Zhong didn't intend to go into details.
Turning around and coming to the alchemy room, he prepared to prepare the fossil spirit water.
The aura of Golden Teeth is of great use. After it is mixed with Shen Qi, it can resist the pollution of Taiyin, which is extremely important for the subsequent Taiyin refining.
After preheating the elixir furnace, Lu Zhong began to prepare it.
The process is quite simple, just add the ingredients one by one according to the formula and then mix.
With many years of experience in alchemy, he successfully prepared the "Fossil Spiritual Water" without spending much effort. It didn't look much different from ordinary spiritual water, except that it was blue in color.
Take out the gold tooth crystal and put it into the fossil spiritual water.
When the two met, there was an immediate reaction.
Wisps of golden aura escaped.
When Lu Zhong saw it, he didn't dare to be negligent at all. He immediately absorbed it and mixed it with his spirit.
Afraid of wasting even a tiny bit.
.....
Days pass by.
Since the end of the Shuzhou War, Qing Nang has not been in power for a long time.
However, the situation in Qingnang Territory did not calm down much.
Because of the evil forces, they began to spread again.
However, all of this has nothing to do with Lu Zhong.
The Tu Palace also doesn't care. Since the Qingnang Guard is controlled by indigenous forces, security and defense will naturally be under the control of the indigenous people. As long as Qingnang can manage the tasks on time and according to the quantity, it will be enough.
Just one day ten years from now.
In the quiet room, Lu Zhong slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the empty shell of gold tooth crystals in front of him, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Yes, this golden tooth-year-old aura is really useful. Not only can it resist external pollution, it can even purify the heretic aura that I have contracted from my previous fights with evil spirits!"
Now, Lu Zhong felt that his body was lighter than ever before.
"By the way, I wonder how the mining is going over there in the Avatar?"
According to his understanding, although there are mineral deposits for moonlight spar, due to the special origin of the ore, the ore contained in a deposit is often very small in quantity and very scattered.
In addition, Bailan Valley has been occupied by Bailan Sect for many years, so Lu Zhong has no hope for production.
Soon, I contacted the avatar.
The result was as Lu Zhong expected.
Although there is a small surprise, compared with the moonlight crystal obtained from Cube Tang, it is only a circle larger.
"In total, it's roughly equivalent to two pieces..." Lu Zhongmo thought.
Obviously, if you want to complete the Moonlight Refining, you can still only obtain it through the Tu Palace Treasure House. According to the current speed of accumulation of achievements, even if the supply of Shuzhou elixirs and the production capacity brought to the alchemy workshop are added, he will have to wait another thirty years to make up the remaining shortfall.
For monks who transform themselves into gods.
Thirty years is just a blink of an eye.
"If that's the case, then you can just take some time to focus on the God Transformation Pill."
Lu Zhong knew that this elixir was of great benefit to refining the void and could greatly shorten the time for the transformation of the Yang God. It was also said to have other benefits. Although he did not know whether it was true or not, just shortening the time for the transformation of the Yang God was enough to make people excited. .
At the beginning of the road to refining the void, when Yang Shen officially undergoes transformation, it is the monk's weakest moment.
The God Transformation Pill can avoid this very well.
Half a year later, Lu Zhong heard the news.
There is news about the main ingredient "Ninghua Dew" needed to refine the magic pill.
"Lingxuan Domain, Lingxuan Immortal City Auction."
He knew where the Lingxuan Domain was adjacent to the Qingnang Domain. It was a small domain that was good at refining weapons. Among them, the "flying boat" manufacturing technology was the best. It was said that the technology was no less than that of some large domains.
Because of this, Lingxuan was in power there and lived a very comfortable life.
"It's just right, you can drop by for a visit."
Lu Zhong was planning to build relationships so that he could purchase several flying boats for the purpose of transporting the elixir.
Affected by various evil acts, the Qingnang region has not been peaceful recently. The sons of Changchun in Shuzhou have just been defeated. Therefore, the power of deterrence is still there, and the heretical forces do not dare to make trouble yet, but the states along the way are different.
This is not the first time that elixirs have been robbed.
Because of this, he came up with the idea of purchasing a flying boat.
At the same time, Lu Zhong had another purpose in going to Lingxuan Immortal City.
That is to deal with the elixir.
Although the elixir refining factory in Shanhe Xiaodongtian is still under improvement, its production capacity cannot be underestimated. Thanks to the continuous supply of materials from the elixir garden, even if it deliberately refines second-level elixirs, it can accumulate ten Thousands of bottles.
With so many elixirs, the residents of Xiaodongtian can only consume a very small part.
Ever since, Lu Zhong had the idea of dealing with it.
...
Early the next morning.
Lu Zhong had breakfast and went to Lingxuan Immortal City.
There are dedicated flying boat routes between regions, which can be used for both passengers and cargo, and safety is guaranteed. However, he was not prepared to take a ride. After all, the speed of the flying boat was really low due to the seriousness of the cultivator.
When the information along the way is known, just fly there at high speed.
It turned into a rainbow and soared into the sky, flying straight towards the west.
"The spiritual world is really amazingly big!"
Lu Zhong flew with great speed for a long time.
The scenery along the way gradually became desolate, and the traces of human activities became less and less. After flying less than 100,000 miles, the scenery was already a wilderness.
Suddenly, a strange mountain peak appeared in front of him.
It is about three thousand feet tall and looks extremely dazzling in a vast forest.
"No, it's a building ruin?"
Lu Zhong was curious, so he changed direction and flew towards the giant peak.
The closer he got, the more puzzled he became.
Who on earth would build such a building in the forest?
After getting closer, we were able to see the whole thing clearly.
What kind of giant peak is this?
It was clearly a giant withered tree.
The top is not empty, but is actually full of ruins covered by vines. It can be vaguely seen that this giant tree once existed in the city, and a large number of residents once lived here.
Look at those round, weird-looking buildings.
It was not difficult for Lu Zhong to see that these ruins were definitely not left by the human race.
"Is it an alien relic?"
He remembered that there were indeed alien races in the Linghuan world, just like the small Linghuan world, with more numbers and more peculiar shapes. Even today, alien races can still be discovered in the wilderness.
After looking around carefully, Lu Zhong saw the reason for the destruction here.
Monster!
Even though a long time had passed, he could still imagine the scene of the destruction based on the traces on the ground that looked like ravines but were actually claw marks.
"The strength is not low, at least at the integration stage." Lu Zhong judged.
Otherwise, such huge damage would not have been possible.
In the nearby forest, he also found broken branches of giant trees and debris falling to the ground. From this, it is not difficult to deduce how lush the giant trees were back then. The tree cover could cover a radius of more than ten miles at least.
Maybe even more.
Leave here and move on.
Lu Zhong was flying and stopping along the way.
Even if his magic power is as deep as his, he can't keep flying at top speed all the time.
The further west you go, the more desolate the scenery becomes.
After flying for half a month, I finally saw people.
After flying for another three days, they finally arrived at the destination of their trip - Lingxuan Immortal City.
Compared with Qingnang Immortal City, this city can be said to be extremely magnificent.
In terms of the scale of the city, it is more than ten times larger than the Qingnang Immortal City. There are rows of tall buildings and huge palaces inside, and it can be seen that it is a multi-layered structure, and the lights are brilliant under the night.
As expected of a place that mainly produces flying boats, the sky here is densely covered with boat shadows.
There are various kinds of flying boats, some big and some small, some carrying cargo and some carrying people. Occasionally, there are huge boats like mountains appearing, traveling in an orderly manner according to the established track.
Being in it is like "touring on the river" in the previous life
Looking at this scene, Lu Zhong was shocked.
I was even thinking in my heart, if even a small domain could be so prosperous, what would be the situation of those large domains?
"If you have time, you must go and see it!"
After flying to an airport, Lu Zhong flew down early and took the special passage of the Tuwang Palace. After some identity checks, he entered the city smoothly and received a special reception.
Thinking of the purpose of his trip, he asked to see Lingxuan in charge.
"Sir, if you want to visit Mr. Nanlou, it is a bit unlucky at this time." The receptionist looked apologetic and immediately explained.
It turns out that heretical forces have come in rampantly, and even the Lingxuan Domain is no exception.
Unlike Lu Zhong, who was relaxed and relaxed, Nanlou, as the leader of Lingxuan, had already controlled Lingxuan Guards. Therefore, if there was any turmoil in the domain that Lingxuan Guards could not handle, they could only go and resolve it personally.
"I see, then I can only change the time."
"Sir, do you have any other needs?" the deacon asked again.
Lu Zhong thought for a while, but without being polite, he chuckled and said:
"I plan to stay here for a while. Please prepare a place to stay. It would be better if there is a supply of spiritual food. There are also... tickets for the Lingxuan auction. Please prepare a copy."
As for the sale of the elixir, it stands to reason that it should also be entrusted to the other party.
However, Lu Zhong didn't want to reveal his identity.
Upon hearing his request, the deacon did not show any impatience, but just nodded with a smile:
"I understand, sir. Please wait for a moment."
After a while, the cave was really ready.
Under the leadership of the deacon, Lu Zhong found that it was not far from the Lingxuan government and was in the bustling area of Lingxuan Immortal City, which could save him a lot of traveling time.
"Being both under the Tu Palace, this ruling status is really useful!"
He muttered silently and moved into the prepared cave.
Although there was nothing to worry about, for the sake of caution, Lu Zhong still checked it carefully and found that there was nothing unusual. This is quite normal. After all, there is no conflict of interest between him and the Lingxuan ruler.
After setting up the restraining circle, another night passed in meditation.
Start a new day with delicious food.
On the street, Lu Zhong looked around while reminiscing about the taste of spiritual food.
Since there was still more than half a month before the Lingxuan auction was held, he planned to get rid of the elixirs first. But the value of one hundred thousand bottles of second-level elixir is not a small amount.
An ordinary chamber of commerce cannot eat it.
It is obviously unrealistic to find a shop selling it on the street.
Based on the above considerations, he was ready to inquire about the news.
Walking through the streets with constant flow of people, probably because of the prosperous business exchanges, Lu Zhong discovered that the clothing of the monks he met along the way was really diverse, each with its own characteristics.
There are those who like long robes, and there are also those who prefer cool attire.
Either, they love to wear high crowns, or they like to admire beautiful jade.
What's more, a spiritual grass was placed on top of his head.
Green and Zhanzhan, with a faint glow.
When Lu Zhong saw this person, he didn't know how to evaluate him at all.
"Bai Xiaolou?"
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and his eyes moved to a building on the side of the road.
One look at this name, it must be related to inquiring about information, maybe it can help find a trading partner.
After entering, there is a lobby.
There were a lot of people, and Lu Zhong only listened to a few words and was sure that the purpose of this place was indeed what he thought.
"Senior, how can I help you?"
A sweet female cultivator came forward and asked with a smile on her face.
"I want to get some news about..."
When Lu Zhong said this, he conveyed his request to the other party. The latter's expression changed after hearing this, and his breathing could not help but quicken. He immediately understood that this was a big deal, and the smile on his face couldn't help but grow wider.
"No problem, senior, we at Baixiao Tower can meet your requirements!"
"Come this way, please take a seat upstairs."
After the two of them entered a private room, the female cultivator poured tea and water, bowed and said with a smile: "Senior, please wait a moment, I will handle your request right away."
After saying that, the woman left in a hurry.
Lu Zhong sipped tea and waited.
However, what he didn't expect was that the incarnation of mining in Byland Valley suddenly initiated emergency contact.
"What's going on?"
Lu Zhong's expression changed slightly, knowing that the incarnation must have encountered something.
Don't hesitate anymore, get in touch immediately.
After some exchanges, it was bad news.
The monks of the Ghost Light Way do not seem to have chosen to give up. Recently, both Bailan Sect and Incarnation have discovered the appearance of heretic monks.
"Is there anything important about that ruins?"
Lu Zhong thought of this and recalled the excavation records of the high priest. However, just like before, even if he looked back and forth, he still couldn't see anything suspicious.
In view of the fact that the ruins and the mine are located in the east and west of Byland Valley.
Even if the heretics have evil intentions, they will not affect the mining of moonlight crystals.
Lu Zhong decided to ask the avatar to be more vigilant.
He is not interested and does not want to be troublesome.
Just as I was thinking about it, there were footsteps outside.
The talented female cultivator returned just now, her joyful mood visible to the naked eye. Behind her was an old man with white hair. His clothes were not as luxurious as ordinary people's, and his cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul stage.
"Senior, the master of Bafang Pavilion just wants to buy a batch of elixirs. Do you think so?"
Lu Zhong looked at the visitor, stood up, cupped his hands, and then said slowly:
"The second-level elixir is suitable for increasing cultivation, but the quantity is a bit too much. Can I eat it?"
"I can't guarantee it, but if fellow Taoists really have a large amount of elixirs, in this turbulent time, it is when everyone is eager to improve their cultivation. I think it is not difficult to get it together as long as we unite with our fellow Taoists. ." After hearing this, the master of Bafang Pavilion pondered for a moment and said.
Seeing how confident he was, Lu Zhong also became interested:
"In that case, why not... sit down and talk in detail?"
"Exactly what I want!" The old man also returned the gift and introduced himself, "I am in Bafang Pavilion, the main building of Bafang Pavilion. I don't know if you..."
