"What help can I provide?"
When Lu Zhong heard this, he asked Zhang Yidao.
You can't let him participate in the refining, right? Although he can refine magic weapons, it does not mean that he can also refine spiritual treasures. The two are completely different concepts.
"When Taoist friends arrive, just collect the materials for me. To be honest, the competition will be held in the Tiangong Ye Realm. It was once a treasure forging place of the Tao Alliance, and there are a lot of rare materials left behind."
"It's just that because the Taoist alliance has collapsed for a long time, all the spiritual beasts stored in it have lost control. It takes a lot of effort to obtain the weapon refining materials, and this is why I came to ask my Taoist friends. With this strength that can make Fairy Che retreat without a fight, it couldn't be easier for me to repel those feral monsters in the secret realm."
"As long as I collect enough materials, I am confident that I can compete for the top ten in the Intermediate Court."
Zhang Ye said with confidence, and then he continued to add: "At that time, as long as I try to fight for it, I can still easily get a Tiangong Token."
It turned out to be an empty promise.
Lu Zhong understood in his heart and began to think about whether to agree.
The current matter was something he took the initiative to fight for.
If he hadn't obtained the Lingque Mountain Spiritual Land, Zhang Ye probably wouldn't have come to visit him.
"If we get in touch with him, maybe we can get some information about the restoration of the Shocking Bell. It seems that it is really necessary to go there this time." He thought secretly.
Furthermore, Lu Zhong also wanted to explore the Tiangong Yejing that once belonged to the Dao League.
The secret realm here is related to weapon refining, and may also contain information about repairing the Immortal Machine. With the Heavenly Killing Sword in my hand, I might be able to get some unexpected gains.
After careful consideration, Lu Zhong decided to agree.
...
One month later.
Lu Zhong, dressed in black, appeared on a molten square.
He is not the only one here. In other places in the square, there are monks with different costumes and from all directions, all of whom are at least at the Void Refining Stage.
Near the front of the square, adjacent to a molten fire hall, there was a faint powerful aura coming from it.
Lu Zhong noticed it and felt a chill in his heart.
"Even in the combined stage, he also participated in the competition."
Obviously, these integration stage monks are here to help in the battle. And the weapon refiners who can recruit them are probably the only ones in the Upper House.
Fortunately, Lu Zhong doesn't need to compete with them.
As for the opponents in the Void Refining Stage?
It can be found in junior high school, late middle school, and even Dzogchen.
Among them, there are very few who have grown up with Tianyuan. If there were no accidents, they should have come to help the lower court weapon refiner.
There are only a few people worthy of his attention.
They are a female cultivator who is wearing a bamboo hat and whose appearance cannot be seen clearly. She is wearing a long black gauze dress. Her cultivation level has been perfected. From this, the woman's slightly impetuous aura can be judged that her cultivation level has been increased. A trick.
But despite this, the perfect state of light refining is enough to sweep away all opponents.
Secondly, there is a young man with purple robes and white hair and a sinister expression. His cultivation is at the middle stage of refining the void, and he relies on Tianyuan to cultivate. He gives people a feeling of being extremely difficult to mess with. I don’t know whether it was deliberate or intentional, but he stood in the shadows on the edge of the square like this, giving the impression that he was like a poisonous snake that chooses people to eat.
There is another person, Che Yuyi.
Lu Zhong finally knew the reason why this woman suddenly disappeared and gave up the battle for the spiritual land. I saw that her cultivation level suddenly broke through from the original middle stage of refining the void to the late stage of refining the void.
But what made him feel weird was that this woman's aura was unusually stable, as if she had been through a breakthrough for a long time.
This situation is extremely abnormal for the Void Refining cultivator.
There must be something weird about it.
The last one is a skinny old man, wearing a gray Gebu robe. He is tall and thin. He looks like a withered tree root, but his body is full of vitality, like a dead tree in spring.
"I must have practiced some special technique..."
Lu Zhong judged in his heart.
Compared with the three people in front of him, he could see the strength of this person most clearly. The skinny old man only had the cultivation of late stage cultivation, but his strength was the lowest among the four.
The foundation is empty, like a suspended building.
It looks gorgeous and glamorous from the outside, but in fact it will fall down at a push.
As time went by, more and more people gathered in the square.
Most of them come here to watch the excitement. After all, it is a grand competition of heavenly craftsmanship that takes place once in a thousand years. Even if you are a monk in the Yuanying stage, you have to rely on luck if you want to witness it with your own eyes, let alone a low-level monk below the Yuanying stage?
Soon, an inexplicable fluctuation spread.
It comes from the Molten Palace at one end of the square, which is the core of Tiangongyuan and is called the "Tiangong Hall".
A ring of fire appeared out of thin air.
Then, torrential flames rushed out from it.
In the face of the heat that could melt gold and sell iron, all the Void Refining monks remained unmoved and just floated into the air from where they originally stood. The monks who were watching all looked horrified. Even if they were at the Nascent Soul stage, they did not dare to touch the flames spurting out of the fire ring and fled away one after another.
At this moment, through the ring of fire, one can clearly see what is on the other side.
It was truly a world of molten fire.
But inside, it was not lifeless.
There are floating islands floating on the lava sea, stretching into groups, seemingly endless. The large floating islands have a radius of tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of miles, and the small ones are thousands of miles in size. Most of them are still protected by shields. The interior is so green and lush that you can even see birds flying around.
It’s hard to imagine how the Dao League built such a place?
However, Lu Zhong thought that as long as he went in to investigate, he would soon know the answer.
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Ye appeared at this moment. He cupped his hands at Lu Zhong and said with a smile: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for coming to the appointment on time. Without further ado, let's enter the secret realm immediately."
With that said, Zhang Ye handed out a golden token and explained.
"This is the token to enter the Tiangong Realm. It has the authority to enter and exit all parts of the secret realm. Regarding this thing, Chen Daoyou needs to keep it carefully, otherwise once it is lost, although it will not be impossible to leave, it will be difficult to move from now on. You can only You have to wait until this competition is over before you can be forcibly teleported away from the secret realm."
Lu Zhong nodded and took the token.
The same Tao Meng style as always.
It's golden and a bit dazzling.
The four characters "Tiangong Yejing" are written on the front, using ordinary immortal characters, and on the back is a large leafy tree surrounded by a circle of flame patterns. The overall look is exquisitely crafted.
Putting it away, Lu Zhong took off into the sky with Zhang Ye and flew towards the secret realm.
The others were no exception. After joining the weapon refiner, they also flew into the entrance of the secret realm, and then flew in different directions according to their own needs.
"The deeper you go into the secret realm, the higher the possibility of finding rare materials."
"To be on the safe side, I'm going to forge the Fireworks Knife this time. The materials needed to forge it can only be found if we go at least thirty million miles into the secret realm."
"Fellow Daoist Chen, what do you think?"
At this time, Zhang Ye turned around and asked Lu Zhong.
Personally speaking, Zhang Ye naturally hopes to go deeper and deeper, so that he can obtain better materials and forge better spiritual treasures. But this is not something that can be decided by just one person. It also requires the consent of the guardian monks. After all, once danger is encountered, the one who can truly deal with the threat must be the accompanying guardian monks.
At this moment, Lu Zhong was unexpectedly in a trance.
Hearing Zhang Ye's suggestion, he came back to his senses and thought for a while before replying: "If the information provided by your institute is correct, as long as you don't cross the limit of fifty million miles and provoke those monsters that are comparable to the fusion stage, you will be able to I don’t care too much about venturing to thirty million miles deep. The premise is that you must retreat in time according to my requirements.”
Lu Zhong was very clear-headed and would not provoke a being more powerful than himself just for a Heavenly Works Order.
The worst thing is, I just have to work harder in the future and slowly collect materials.
"Of course!"
Seeing Lu Zhong agree, Zhang Ye immediately laughed.
Afterwards, the two continued to go deeper.
Along the way, many monks can be seen working in pairs, mining ores on the floating islands, or fighting with fire spirits, fire lizards and the like. The weapon refiners who cooperated with it were already so busy that they wished they could cut themselves in half to use it, because they had to build the fire pool for the weapon refinement in a short period of time.
Regarding this competition, it is obviously forbidden to kill each other.
Most monks will choose to comply.
But it can't be tolerated. A small group of people choose to do whatever it takes for the sake of profit. During the flight, Lu Zhong sensed those malicious glances from the dark more than once.
Thirty million miles is not far for a cultivator of Lianxu.
It'll be there in the blink of an eye.
This is an area with sparse floating islands.
Fewer floating islands means less resources, which is a big trouble for weapon refining. Being able to change the angle also means less trouble and reduces the risk of encountering the integration stage.
Zhang Yefei froze his figure, his eyes darting around.
Finally, he chose a floating island that looked like a gourd and was still protected by a shield.
Ordinary means no danger at the same time.
"Just choose this one!"
Lu Zhong scanned it with his spiritual consciousness and found nothing wrong, so he nodded and said to Zhang Ye: "Since fellow Taoist has chosen a place to start a furnace and refine weapons here, I will not continue. Follow me, finding the materials for refining is also a troublesome task, and I will come back every hundred years."
"By the way, if there is danger, he can help you."
Before he finished speaking, an expressionless young man was released from his sleeve.
It is the incarnation outside the body.
There's nothing better than an avatar for connecting over long distances.
Zhang Ye was still worried about this at first, but when he saw Lu Zhong taking out an avatar, a big stone suddenly fell to the ground, and he felt even more confident about winning this competition.
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, just go and search for materials."
"I'm here, waiting for good news from fellow Taoist!"
"Yeah." Lu Zhong responded.
Turning around and leaving the floating island, he showed a thoughtful expression and stopped on a rocky platform at the edge.
When he turned his hand, a purple flame suddenly appeared.
It’s Zijin Extremely Fire!
At this moment, it is restless.
