Beiyun Domain.
Yaibo City.
After finishing his trip to the Temple of Fertility, Lu Zhong was not in a hurry to leave, but rented a cave.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in the quiet room. After the breath was adjusted, he slowly opened his eyes, the aura on his body gradually faded away, and everything returned to normal.
Immediately, Lu Zhong turned his hand and something more appeared.
It is Guang Yaozhi.
Its appearance is somewhat similar to that of White Ganoderma, but it is hazy and illusory and has no real entity. In fact, if Lu Zhong had not imprisoned him with restrictions, he would immediately turn into spiritual energy and return to heaven and earth.
Smelling the increasingly strong aroma, even Lu Zhong couldn't help but feel his throat rolling.
"It's really a rare treasure!"
Lu Zhong secretly praised it, and after confirming that it was correct, he sucked it into his mouth.
Eat as if there is nothing.
It truly melts in your mouth!
next moment.
The skin on his body changed and turned extremely red, like red-hot iron.
At the same time, Lu Zhong circulated the quenching spirit to ascend the law.
In the small quiet room, a storm of spiritual energy formed in an instant.
Fortunately, Lu Zhong had anticipated this and placed many restrictions in advance. Otherwise, the vision in the quiet room will instantly alarm the monks outside.
At this moment, his body began to glow.
This is the real Yaosheng!
The original pure spirit body could no longer keep up with Lu Zhong after successive breakthroughs to Lianxu.
But now, like a soul, it has begun to transform.
The nameless fragrance permeates the quiet room.
At this time, the power of Guangyaozhi is taking effect.
Lu Zhong was feeling pain and happiness while running the Tempering Spirit Yaosheng method. His body seemed to be washed away by the tide, taking away the impurities and causing unbearable pain. At the same time, it also made the whole body look brand new!
Then, start to enhance everything existing from the cellular level.
A stronger pure spiritual body!
The whole process lasted for a hundred years.
...
On this day, in a quiet room.
Lu Zhong slowly opened his eyes, full of excitement.
The next moment, he clenched his fist fiercely.
There was an explosion!
When the five fingers suddenly opened, a drop of liquid was vaporizing.
"I didn't expect that I could liquefy the air just by relying on the power of my body. Is this the power of Xuan Xiu? In the past, my body was as strong as a tortoise shell, but it was actually similar to a turtle shell. It just resisted beatings. After all, it was still a physical body in essence. It takes a lot of effort to achieve such a rapid explosion in Dharma cultivation."
But now Lu Zhong wants to do it as simple as eating and drinking.
And this is only the most obvious benefit brought by the Tempering Spirit Yaosheng method to break through to the second level. In addition, there are higher mana output, stronger ability to sense the vitality of heaven and earth, etc.
It is hard to believe that this is a technique captured from a monk from Huangquan Dao.
Incomparably in line with the immortal way.
When the Spirit Tempering Yaosheng method has reached the second level, it is no longer limited to superficial tempering of the body, but like real elixir refining, it is necessary to wash away the pure spirit body and realize the transformation to a higher level.
Yes, transformation!
Just like the transformation of the soul, the physical body naturally has a similar saying.
Cultivation to the highest level is the sanctification of the physical body.
Lu Zhong did not expect this. After all, just the transformation of the soul was already extremely difficult.
If you continue to be distracted by others, your path may be hopeless.
After calming down, he recalled the second-level technique.
Since it is physical alchemy, it naturally requires a lot of materials. Fortunately, although the requirements of this technique are many, they are not demanding. Except for the necessary breakthrough materials, which are as hard to find as Guangyaozhi, the rest are based on quantity.
Not only medicine stones, but also monster materials...
If you rely solely on the Secret Formation of Creation, the cost of cultivation will be astronomical, so it is very necessary to reduce unnecessary expenses and be careful with your budget.
After reading it carefully, Lu Zhong already knew it in his mind.
"The spiritual stones that should be burned must be burned, but the spiritual stones that should be saved must also be saved."
Also, he added silently in his heart: "We must prioritize breakthroughs in cultivation and prioritize. After all, state cultivation is the foundation of everything."
So now, Lu Zhong still needs to remove the remaining pollution from his body.
This is not difficult.
It just takes a little more time.
...
This day.
A new restaurant has opened in Yaibo City.
The origin of the shop owner is unknown, but the monks in the shop don't care about it. As long as the Beiyun Army doesn't drive him away, it means there is no problem. For the bitter frontier monks, the owner of the restaurant who can turn decay into magic and cook delicious wontons with any ingredients is simply the savior in their lives.
After a day of fighting against evil, as long as you can eat a bowl of simple wontons, you will still be full of energy the next day.
And this is just spiritual food that Lu Zhong prepared at random.
As an alchemist and gourmet.
It couldn't be easier for him to do this.
The reason why he started thinking about opening a store was because Lu Zhong noticed during introspection that his Taoist heart had changed a lot recently. Perhaps he had become more indifferent and ruthless due to the lack of nourishment from family affection.
Stay away from the crowd for a long time, and sometimes you have to be close to the fireworks.
Only in this way can we maintain a human heart.
Otherwise, it is really an aura creature.
Gradually, the reputation of the restaurant spread, and many monks passing by here, regardless of their level of cultivation, would come here to have a taste. Over time, there are even lucky people who have an epiphany here and gain great benefits.
As a result, the reputation of Yakumo Restaurant spread further and further.
Lu Zhong had no mood swings about this.
Cooking is just his pastime.
When you get tired of it later, you will continue to focus on the path.
Year after year, Yakumo Restaurant is even famous in the Beiyun Territory, and even the Beiyun Army's incarnation god commander will make a special trip here whenever he passes through Yaibo City.
But no matter who comes, Lu Zhong will treat them equally.
There are only wontons.
...
On this day, two customers came to the store.
One of them was a Taoist nun, with whom Lu Zhong had collaborated. Together as bell ringers, they successfully rang the shocking bell at the Beiyang Cardinal Academy.
As for the other one, his eyes became serious.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the military leader Beiyun.
However, Lu Zhong did not expect that Beiyun Army Chief, who was rumored to be miraculous and capable of strategizing and calculating, a long-famous leader in the Fusion Stage, was actually the ordinary woman from Xiaojiabiyu in front of him.
She wears a plain skirt and a jade hairpin, and her appearance is unremarkable.
"Hua Qiong is sincere and has met fellow Taoist Jinguang."
The Taoist nun came closer, bowed slightly and said.
Hua Qiong?
Lu Zhong thought about it briefly and realized that the origin of the Taoist nun in front of him was indeed extraordinary.
The Huaqiong Sect is comparable to the Taiyin Sect in its heyday.
Unlike the Taiyin Sect, which existed in name only and had an uncertain future, the Hua Qiong Sect not only still exists, but is also extremely glorious. Thirty thousand years after the collapse of the Taoist Alliance, three Mahayana monks were born in a row.
A force like this was in line with his imagination of the bell-ringing force.
Taiyin Sect? It's just recruiting people to make up the numbers.
"If there is no accident, the reason why the Beiyun Army sent Wu Die is probably because this woman leaked the secret. For her to do such a thing, I think the two must be closely related. Maybe the Beiyun Army leader is also from the Nahua Qiong Sect. .”
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong returned the gift to Taoist Su Xin.
"I am a Yun slave, and I have met fellow Taoist Jinguang."
At this time, the woman in cloth bowed and bowed.
When Lu Zhong saw that the person who was suspected to be the leader of the Beiyun Army did not take the initiative to report his identity, he simply bowed his hands and said, "Welcome to you two. What do you want to eat?"
After Yun Nu heard this, he thought about it and then smiled and said:
"Wontons, I heard that the wontons cooked by Taoist friends are excellent."
Lu Zhong moved his eyes to Su Xin and asked:
"Fellow Taoist Su Xin, what about you?"
"Wonton."
"Okay, two portions of vegetarian wontons!"
After Lu Zhong finished speaking, he started to work.
Press the special tofu into puree, then add small diced elixir tubers, stir evenly, and add medicinal oil and seasonings, so that the vegetarian stuffing is successfully prepared.
Then wrap it in wonton skin and cook in a pot until the skin is soft and transparent.
In this way, the vegetarian wontons are ready to be cooked.
"You two, try it while it's hot."
Lu Zhong served the wontons and said enthusiastically.
As a restaurant owner, if you can be recognized by diners, you will undoubtedly feel great satisfaction. At this moment, he has already entered this role.
Taoist Aunt Su Xin glanced at the store, ignored the other monks chatting, and smiled: "This is the first time I have tasted the wontons made by the Lianxu monk."
Scoop up one with a spoon, close your eyes and taste it.
"It tastes good, and because it contains the Taoist thoughts of fellow Taoists, it suddenly becomes more colorful."
"It's indeed pretty good." Yun Nu also smiled.
"Thank you both for your hard work."
After Lu Zhong finished speaking, he did not leave immediately.
The two men came not far away, the majestic Beiyun Commander, and even put aside the heavy military commander. If he said that the two girls had no purpose and just came to taste delicious food, then he would never believe it.
"If I say that this trip is for matchmaking, what do you think, fellow Taoist?"
Yun Nu smiled at this time and turned to Lu Zhong.
Matchmaking?
Lu Zhong was surprised, he really didn't expect this.
Also, what is the matchmaking?
Could it be...
His eyes fell on Taoist Su Xin.
The latter seemed to be aware of it, and was completely different from the face of the Xu Lian monk. There was a blush on her cheeks, and she lowered her head slightly with a hint of shyness.
This is really what I want to commit myself to.
Damn it!
Lu Zhong didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing again when he reached the Void Refining Stage.
After thinking for a long time, he spoke carefully:
"Sorry, I already have a good match."
Taoist companions were not necessary for Lu Zhong.
Hear this answer.
The two girls seemed to have expected this.
Taoist nun Su Xin's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she quickly returned to normal. As for Yun Nu, who was sitting next to her, she smiled slightly, caressed her close friend's hand to comfort her, and moved her eyes to Lu Zhong.
Before speaking, she flicked her jade fingers and formed a restriction around the seat.
When Lu Zhong saw this scene, he immediately knew that something serious was coming.
Otherwise it wouldn't be so serious.
Sure enough, Yun Nu's expression became serious, he stood up and said:
"I didn't let my Taoist friends know before, but I still hold the position of Beiyun Army Commander. This time I came to Bayunbo City specifically for another purpose, which is to recruit talents. Su Wen Jinguang Dao My friend is very powerful, do you want to join my shogunate and serve as a marching commander to command thousands of troops?"
Marching Sima is an important position in the Beiyun Army.
Yun Nu took such a position at once, which was really full of sincerity.
At the same time, this was not a decision she made lightly.
In the battles between the Northern Cardinal Academy and the Temple of Fertility, Lu Zhong showed his strength to the fullest. He was definitely the top among the monks of the same level, not much worse than the geniuses cultivated by those ancient sects and hidden forces.
If Sima were to serve as the marching army of the Beiyun shogunate, he would be able to easily subdue his subordinates, thus making the Beiyun army even more powerful.
Lu Zhong thought about this invitation for a long time.
He had no doubt that if he agreed, he would definitely be reused.
After all, the star-holding technique alone is enough to be of great use on the battlefield. Not every battle has to attract giant meteorites. Sometimes just a shower of meteorites can have unexpected effects.
Furthermore, once encountering a tough battle.
The giant meteorite is enough to give most opponents a headache.
It's a pity that he really has no idea of joining the army.
Except for some special monks, most people join the army to obtain rare resources. But Lu Zhong has already passed this stage. Even if he really lacks something, it is not something Beiyun Army can provide.
Therefore, the post of Sima of the Beiyun Army Marching Army was as useless to him.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong already had the answer in his mind.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master. But I, like Xian Yun Yehe, have long been accustomed to freedom and no longer want to be restrained." Lu Zhong kept his posture as low as possible, fearing that refusing would offend the other party.
He still can't bear the wrath of the monks in the integration stage.
"It seems that fellow Taoist is devoted to the Tao and is not disturbed by external things." Yun Nu seemed to have expected this, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all.
Taoist nun Su Xin on the side was holding the wontons in her hands and began to taste them slowly.
He had an indifferent attitude towards what they said between the two of them.
"In that case, how about making a deal?" Yun Nu spoke again, still with a smile on his face, "On the condition that you serve in the Beiyun Army for a hundred years, I can tell you some information about the future of this world."
Seeing Lu Zhong frown, she added:
"Don't you want to know what impact it will have after the shocking bell rings?"
"Admittedly, I do take it very seriously."
Lu Zhong did not deny this.
"But...isn't the future of Linghuan Realm related to the future path below? Even though the evil forces are strong now and the decline of Linghuan Immortal Way is fully apparent, it will take a lot of time after all."
"I don't think there's going to be time to see the results before the building falls down."
"Fellow Taoist is right." Yun Nu smiled faintly, then suddenly changed the topic and said in a concentrated voice: "But if I say that after the shocking bell rings, if there are no unexpected developments in the subsequent development, a true immortal will come to the world. , leading to changes in the spiritual world that have not happened in millions of years. Are fellow Taoists interested in hearing the details of this matter?"
When Lu Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but recall Ye Panyan's words.
This person also mentioned this.
Similarly, Army Chief Beiyun would not joke about this kind of thing, which means that this matter is very likely to happen.
But why is this woman so sure this will happen?
After all, even Ye Panyan is uncertain about this.
The subsequent development of Ringing the Bell...
Could it be that as long as certain conditions are met, a true immortal will be born?
Lu Zhong felt that this might be the answer.
He took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. Thinking of the possible consequences of the arrival of the true immortal, he suddenly felt the need to listen. No matter how small it is, this matter is also related to my future path.
If you know earlier, you can plan earlier.
It’s better than not knowing anything and then adapting to the situation.
