"I didn't expect that the problem I had been worried about would be solved like this."
Lu Zhong walked out of Jinyang Pavilion, still feeling that everything was a bit unreal. After completing the transaction, Yunnu acted as a mediator as promised and solved Niu Zhen's trouble for him.
Although this can only guarantee that Niu Zhen will not be able to take action for a period of time.
But I have to say that it still helped him a lot.
Only after getting to know it did I know that the process of using the Tiangong Order is not simple and requires the consent of the elders. But once Niu Zhen gets in the way, forging a spiritual treasure will naturally be out of the question.
"The next step is to wait for Tiangongyuan to be ready..."
This takes a while.
The time is not short, and Lu Zhong is ready to spend time in seclusion.
...
Spring goes and spring comes again.
Time began to pass quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Zhong has been in seclusion in Lingque Mountain for a hundred years.
During this period of time, in addition to refining Tian Yuan every day to promote the growth of his cultivation, he also never stopped practicing the Spirit Tempering Yaosheng method. He tempered his body with spiritual liquid day and night, and never stopped.
Thanks to this, the progress is very gratifying.
First of all, in terms of cultivation, there has been a very obvious improvement compared to before the retreat.
Although his current cultivation level is still in the middle stage of Void Refining, his progress has reached 10%. As long as he maintains the current speed and with the help of the Tian Yuan transformed from Fang Yi Bottle, it will not be a problem to break through to the late stage of Void Refining within a thousand years.
As for the Spirit Tempering Yaosheng method, the progress is even more gratifying.
The second level of skills is no longer divided into skin quenching, bone quenching and blood quenching, but focuses on overall strengthening, just like alchemy, allowing the body to be transformed again like raw materials.
And Lu Zhong happened to be an alchemist.
Naturally, he has great experience in how to "make elixirs".
With the additional bonus, the progress of Tempering Spirit Yao's ascension method is naturally extremely rapid.
"According to the current progress, I'm afraid I can complete the transformation of my body within five hundred years." Lu Zhong thought silently.
By then, his physical fitness will once again be comparable to that of a mysterious cultivator at the same level.
For a monk who is more inclined to practice law, this is already an incredible achievement.
Although it is good to practice both physical and mental skills, it has always been a beautiful but unrealistic fantasy. The further you go in your practice, the more you have to specialize in one thing. The result of distraction can only be to achieve nothing.
Especially monks like Lu Zhong who are still in the advanced stage of cultivation.
Being able to do this is definitely rare.
However, Lu Zhong was not proud of this.
Given the size of the Linghuan world, there are definitely beings whose strength far exceeds his.
Being low-key and humble is the way to go in the long run.
...
After leaving the customs, Lu Zhong made a special trip to Baidu City.
Compared with a hundred years ago, with the strong support of the Tu Palace, the Hundred Forging City today has a completely new look. Not only is the scale of city construction far greater than before, but even its popularity has long been restored to its original state.
Nowadays, there is a faint momentum for transcendence.
Outside the city, countless blacksmithing workshops are operating day and night, devouring all the spiritual materials that are brought in, and then turning them into pieces of magical tools, magic weapons, and even spiritual treasures, which are then continuously transported away.
It is conceivable that countless monks must be armed for this.
Behind such crazy military expansion is to fight against the rising momentum of evil invasion.
"It's strange. It stands to reason that the victory bell in the Tiangong Ye Realm should have been rung long ago, but why is it that after a hundred years, there is still no sign of it."
Lu Zhong was puzzled by this.
But those who plan these things are old monsters like Yue Yinzi, who have lived for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. In comparison, in terms of planning and scheming, he is as immature as a newborn baby.
"Perhaps there is some key information in it that I don't know yet."
Lu Zhong thought for a while and came to this conclusion.
Soon, he arrived in front of Tiangongyuan.
This is a complex of buildings that stretches for more than ten miles, located behind the reconstructed Molten Palace of Molten Square.
From the outside, the buildings here are not very luxurious, but only monks who are good at refining can see that almost all the buildings inside are works of dazzling skill, and each piece is made using different refining techniques.
Simple and unpretentious, the truth is exposed on the surface.
For the weapon refiner, this place is definitely a holy land.
Lu Zhong, who was not proficient in weapon refining, gained a lot of knowledge about weapon refining when he met. If it is studied later, the future attainments in weapon refining will definitely be greatly improved.
But naturally he didn't come here today to learn how to refine weapons.
According to the previous agreement, after a hundred years of preparation, Tiangongyuan should have prepared the materials, and it is time to cast the spiritual treasure for him.
Under the guidance of the maid, Lu Zhong was quickly taken to a side hall.
He is the only one in the palace.
"Hope everything goes well."
He thought silently, picked up the spiritual tea handed by the maid, and tasted it slowly.
The aroma of tea is strong and assails your nose, without any hint of elegance. It carries a very strong fire spirit. Drinking it is the same as swallowing fire spirit liquid. However, for a monk like Lu Zhong, who is in the Void Refining Stage, it has a different flavor.
After sipping tea for a while, footsteps soon came from outside the hall.
The person who came was a big man with his bare chest and breasts exposed. He looked bohemian and somewhat distracting.
As for his cultivation, he surpassed Lu Zhong by a head, and he was already in the late stage of cultivation.
Lu Zhonglue sensed that this person's foundation was extremely solid, and his aura was even more integrated. If his prediction was correct, he should have relied on Tianyuan cultivation, not those trickster monks.
"Is this Fellow Daoist Chen Xia Chen?"
The visitor laughed, raised his hand and said.
"That's right." Lu Zhong replied.
"Since you are Fellow Daoist Chen, please come with me. This time the refining of the Soul Spirit Treasure was done by my master Feng Yannian, and I am her first disciple. You can call me Liu Wu." .”
The big man named Liu Wu said quite casually.
"I don't dare. I'm grateful to you, fellow Daoist Liu, to lead the way."
Lu Zhong did not make excuses and responded politely.
Seeing this, Liu Wu still just smiled.
Under his leadership, the two quickly passed through long corridors, countless doors, and passed through heavy guards. After a series of verifications, they stopped in front of a teleportation array.
"The teleportation distance this time is a bit far due to the special destination. Even monks like us in the realm of refining the void will find it difficult to bear if our bodies are not trained."
Liu Wu said, handed out a yellow talisman, turned around and said:
"This is the Great Teleportation Talisman. Fellow Daoist Chen, please keep it close to your body."
"Thank you."
Lu Zhong thanked him and took it, without showing off the fact that he was successful in body training.
Then activate it and wear it.
Immediately afterwards, the two stepped onto the teleportation array.
I felt like the world was spinning for a while, and I arrived at my destination in an instant.
The speed was much faster than Lu Zhong expected.
Looking at the blazing white sea of fire in front of him, as well as the large and small overlapping towers and palaces that appeared and disappeared in the flames, he found that he could not recognize what kind of place he had come to.
As if he guessed what he was thinking, Liu Wu next to him laughed.
"Fellow Daoist Chen's appearance is very similar to that of me back then. When I first came here, my expression was just as wonderful, but this is also normal. After all, what you and I are in now is a world opened up in the virtual world. The Forging Immortal Workshop is a great legacy left over from the Taoist Alliance in the past."
"Forging the Immortal Workshop? Could it be said that the Immortal Machine can be forged here?" Lu Zhong said in surprise.
"Immortal Ji, it seems that Fellow Daoist Chen knows a lot." Liu Wu looked at Lu Zhong with something different when he heard this, but he still shook his head and said: "If the Taoist alliance had not collapsed, we would have gathered many heavenly craftsmen Under such circumstances, there are indeed many possibilities for forging the original embryo of the immortal treasure, which is what fellow Taoists call the immortal machine."
"According to records, in the past, pieces of fairy machines were produced in this kind of forging fairy workshop like an assembly line."
"But now, the grand occasion is long gone...Without the support provided by the Dao Alliance and the supply of precious materials, although this fairy workshop is currently intact, it can only waste its other advantages. Just use the fact that he is in the virtual world to cast the treasure of the soul."
When he said this, Liu Wu sighed repeatedly.
For a weapon refining master, there is only a place for refining the best treasures, but he cannot use it to refine the best treasures.
How heartbreaking this is!
But unfortunately, this is the reality.
"Let's go, don't keep my teacher and the others waiting."
Liu Wu stepped forward again and greeted Lu Zhong behind him.
Mr. Lu nodded and followed quickly.
Walking off the teleportation platform, there is an illusory flame road in front of you, ten feet wide. One after another, various figures can be seen rising and falling in the sea of flames below.
Maybe they noticed that there was a living being coming, and these miscellaneous things that were originally sleeping woke up one after another.
Some bared their teeth and claws, or suddenly appeared and stepped forward.
But as soon as they made a move, a chain of golden light appeared out of thin air, arresting and locking them all.
Before Zasu could cry out, he had already been broken into pieces.
Most of the fragments were reduced and decomposed into information residue on the spot and fell back into the sea of fire below. After reorganization and integration in the future, they will become new debris.
And a small part of them became something familiar to Lu Zhong.
It's Tianyuan!
"Every time I see this scene, I will marvel at the astonishing power of the Dao Alliance. They built this immortal workshop and other magnificent buildings, and forged countless immortal machines. They once completely ruled the entire Linghuan world. "Liu Wu witnessed this scene, with a rather emotional expression on his face, and said this in a puzzled tone.
Once upon a time, no one dared not to obey the order of the Taoist League.
"But such a big force disappeared completely overnight, leaving only these heavenly creations, but no blood stains on half of the corpses. Why do you think it is, Fellow Daoist Chen?"
After hearing Liu Wu's question, Lu Zhong was silent for a while before answering:
"Perhaps they went elsewhere."
"Go somewhere else? I have asked so many people, and this is the first time I have heard such an answer from fellow Taoist. But when I think about it carefully, it seems to make some sense."
Liu Wu thought deeply after hearing this, but he didn't think it was ridiculous. Then he cast his gaze far into the depths of the virtual world, where a man murmured to himself:
"If this conjecture is true, then that's the only place where Dao Alliance monks may go, right?"
The legendary fairy world is the place that immortal cultivators look forward to.
But, is this really possible?
Not only Liu Wu was suspicious of this, but even Lu Zhong couldn't believe it.
But no matter what, the sudden disappearance of the Dao League has become an unsolved mystery.
Lu Zhong felt in his heart that maybe existences like Yue Yinzi could know more about this, but they might also know nothing, otherwise they would not be caught off guard, and the situation in the Linghuan world would not collapse like this. .
Follow the path of flames and pass through many illusory palaces.
Soon, the two stopped in front of a huge furnace.
At this point, two roads branched off: left and right.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, let's separate here. You go up the road on the left. When you get inside, Master will guide you on how to do it. The birth of the soul soul treasure has a lot of risks. I hope you will be safe and smooth, fellow Taoist."
Before leaving, Liu Wu did not forget to warn.
But he didn't know that Lu Zhong already knew all this information.
In the Taiyin Immortal Sutra, there is a detailed and thoughtful description of how to refine the spirit treasure.
Its birth process can be divided into "three passes and five tribulations".
They are the "Enter Soul Pass", "Condensation Pass" and "Fusion Pass", which are the three major risks that monks need to bear in the process of injecting soul into the spiritual treasure, and each level is more dangerous than the last.
In addition, there are five tribulations.
To be specific, he had to encounter five invasions of foreign elements. Only by using their huge information as nourishment and igniting raging flames can the spiritual treasure be truly forged.
Lu Zhong already knew these disasters well.
This is something that a cultivator will have to experience sooner or later.
If you don't have the Soul Spirit Treasure, it's like a monk in the Qi Refining Stage who doesn't have the Foundation Establishment Pill. Even though there is a chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the chance is slim.
Without the assistance of the Soul Spirit Treasure, if a Void Refining Monk wants to break through to the Fusion Stage, the price he has to pay will be a thousand or even ten thousand times more difficult than breaking through to the Foundation Building Stage with his own strength.
The odds are slim.
Originally, this divine treasure required him to collect the materials step by step for thousands of years, and then go through tribulations bit by bit before he could refine it with great difficulty.
Now it's a trick.
Then the two of them separated. Lu Zhong followed the road on the left and climbed to the top of the furnace step by step.
There, nine figures were sitting cross-legged.
Everyone has cultivated in the Void Refining Stage.
Among the nine people, there was a white-haired female cultivator sitting cross-legged.
If there is no accident, this person is the master mentioned by Liu Wu, the elder of Tiangongyuan named Feng Yannian.
As if aware of Lu Zhong's arrival, the female cultivator's slender eyes, which were originally closed, slightly opened a gap. After confirming the identity of the visitor, they slowly closed them.
"Here we come, let's go into the furnace."
"As Chief Taiyin, I think you should also clearly understand the basic process."
"Do you still need me to explain something?"
Hearing this, Lu Zhong's heart stirred up waves, and he couldn't help but thought to himself:
"She actually called me Chief Taiyin?"
"Doesn't this mean that Yue Yinzi has recognized my identity?"
"this......"
Many thoughts and speculations quickly flashed through Lu Zhong's mind, and he even thought that Yun Nu's appearance might not be accidental.
No wonder the mediation went so smoothly!
But in the end, he bowed his hands respectfully to Feng Yannian, and after receiving a nod from the other party, he jumped down from the edge of the furnace and jumped into the heart of the furnace below.
