Lu Zhong had already expected that it would be difficult to obtain jade essence.
After all, if this thing, as the main material of the Nine Turns Jade Essence Pill, is really easy to obtain, then this pill recipe will not be leaked.
Considering that Kunyang Territory is still under the control of evil, he decided to take it slow first.
Then take out the Miaohua Moon Pearl.
Looking at the thing in his hand, Lu Zhong showed hesitation.
The refining of the Moon Flower Miaohua Xing Dan can actually be started immediately after obtaining the Moon Pearl. Because it is different from the ordinary water-fire alchemy method, this elixir must be cultivated in the Dantian, and various elixirs are refined through the human body, and then the medicinal power is transported to the moon beads, and then the impurities are slowly dissolved by the divine energy, and finally the A flawless elixir.
The reason why he hesitated was because this step of accumulation would hinder his own cultivation. Not only the cultivation level, but also the fighting skills will be severely reduced due to the influence of the moon beads.
Once you start, there's no turning back.
"That's all, it's worth taking more risks."
After much thought, Lu Zhong decided to let the avatar complete this step.
In view of the particularity of the accumulation process.
To do this, he needs to refine a very special incarnation.
In a way, this is another Lu Zhong.
This practice is a taboo in cultivating external incarnations. Unless the body is on the verge of death and wants to be reborn in another way, doing so is likely to bring hidden dangers, and may even cause the incarnation to turn against the guest.
Lu Zhong knew very well that he had another concern when doing this.
That's the current environment.
Since the bell-ringing incident, the relationship between immortality and all evil has undergone subtle changes. From the life-and-death struggle at the beginning, to the weird handshake and peace, it has become even more ambiguous recently.
The changes are really hard to understand.
The root cause is undoubtedly the ringing of the reception bell.
But according to the current information, Lu Zhong still does not know the specific consequences of ringing the bell. He only knows that both sides of the immortal world suffered heavy casualties.
He had a premonition that the upcoming opening of the Third Cardinal Academy would bring about a wave of bloodshed.
And this is also the reason why Lu Zhong is unwilling to compromise his own strength.
Even if this time is only a thousand years.
No longer thinking about it, Lu Zhong raised his hand, and a ray of light flew out of his sleeve, and then unfolded into a scroll, with mountains and water, it was a scroll of mountains and rivers.
Compared with when I first obtained it, the content of the pictures on this object is much richer.
On the large scroll, there is a beautiful picture of the country.
Thanks to the continuous help of the Kongmulg Sacred Tree to stabilize and restore the area, the mountains, rivers, caves and sky are now becoming more and more vast, reaching more than 20,000 miles, which can accommodate more monks.
Entering it, what you see in front of you is a pure land of Taoyuan.
Compared with the turbulent outside world, the mountains, rivers, caves and sky are peaceful and peaceful. Especially mortals can live and work in peace and contentment without being disturbed by hunger.
Of course, there are still undercurrents stirring beneath the calm surface.
There are many smart people who, through one way or another, realize that the world they live in is just a cave, and they are just like a caged bird.
From this came the idea of pursuing freedom.
Lu Zhong's treatment of these is also very simple.
Out of sight, out of mind, no need for harsh methods, just throw them all out.
Given the vast territory of the Feng Yuan Realm, it is not a strange thing for more than ten alchemy monks to appear out of thin air. Even if these people claim to be from a certain cave, it is not a strange thing.
Turning around, Lu Zhong came to the sacred tree of Kongmulberry.
Over the years, this tree has become stronger and stronger, like a pillar in the sky, reaching up to the sky and the clouds, down to the yellow spring and the blue sky, standing in the middle of the mountain and river boundary.
A magnificent temple has been built around the Kongmul sacred tree.
Either to find spiritual solace or to worship spontaneously.
At present, the mortals in the mountains and rivers world have actually sprouted the worship of the sacred tree of Kongmulang. Although the latter has no response to this, it still cannot stop groups of pilgrims from coming to pay homage to this sacred tree.
For example, at this moment, on the winding mountain road, there are ascetics wearing green robes. Among them are men, women, old and young, covered with wind, frost and dust. He was bowing three times at a time, with an expression of indescribable piety on his face, heading towards the sacred tree on the top of the mountain.
Lu Zhong did not intervene in this, and let the avatars stand by and watch.
This scene of Gein made him have many associations.
It is also a tree, and the golden tree will obviously have admirers, and the immortal way may be born from it. So, will the worship of the Kongmul tree lead to a new path?
Maybe, maybe not.
Regardless of the outcome, Lu Zhong planned to experiment.
Relying on his cultivation in the Void Refining Stage, no one noticed his arrival along the way. Only when he approached the Kongmulg Sacred Tree, her trunk trembled slightly, which was a welcome gesture.
"This is the spiritual wood collected recently."
As he spoke, he swept his sleeves away, and a small mountain-like pile of spiritual trees suddenly appeared in front of him.
This is the agreement between Lu Zhong and Kongsang Shenmu.
Lu Zhong has been complying with it for many years.
"Thank you, I'm very satisfied." Kongsang Shenmu woke up from his deep sleep, and there was a hint of joy in Gujing Wubo's voice.
Then, she said again:
"Recently, I've noticed that there's a lot of turmoil outside, but what big thing happened?"
"Indeed there is..."
When Lu Zhong saw that Kongmulg Shenmu was rarely concerned about external affairs at this time, he told the story of ringing the bell, even when Ye Panyan saw it, he did not hold anything back.
The purpose is naturally to hope to get some answers from the Kongmulg Sacred Tree.
"Hmm...the bell rang, but the immortal didn't come yet?"
Kongsang Shenmu began to ponder.
In this matter, she tasted something unusual.
Change, unprecedented change!
"It seems that something big happened in the fairy world. Considering the sudden destruction of the Dao Alliance, I can probably guess what happened..."
When Kongsang Shenmu said this, he paused and said with a rare smile:
"I'm sorry, I know you don't like the Riddler, but the matter is serious. As for the answer, you can only find it yourself."
"Also, the occurrence of this change may not be an opportunity. If it were me, I would regard it as the best opportunity to break free from the shackles and pursue the path of transcendence. In the process, despite the many dangers and life and death between misfortunes and blessings, but It’s truly an unprecedented opportunity.”
"At that point, the rest is up to you."
"Thank you!" Lu Zhong bowed deeply with his hands in hand.
Although Kong Sang Shen Mu's words seemed to have said nothing and were just empty words, they revealed a lot of information.
Unprecedented opportunity.
Become the true and only immortal.
Lu Zhong couldn't help but recall again what Guan Daozi reminded him in the past. There was an obvious connection between the two, and the old road that didn't work might not be a bad thing.
After thanking him again, he told Kongsang Shenmu another reason for his visit.
But he asked her to keep the treasure elixir for him.
It's not that I'm worried about having an accident.
But if the mulberry sacred tree is there, external evil will not be able to invade, thus ensuring that the incarnation is safe.
"no problem!"
The Kongmulg Sacred Tree readily agreed, and then a gap opened in the trunk, revealing a unique space inside. It looked not small, and it contained the power of the Sacred Tree.
"When you have your avatar ready, just put it in."
"Thank you very much!"
Lu Zhong thanked him again before saying goodbye to the sacred tree.
Then, he turned around and entered the Chaosheng Cave. After the people below brought the materials and completed the breath adjustment, he started refining the incarnation so that he could start refining the Yuehua Miaohua Xisheng Dan as soon as possible.
...
Time flies like an arrow, and time flies like a shuttle.
The years passed like water, and Chaosheng Cave was filled with spiritual energy every day, shrouded in astonishing storms.
In the blink of an eye, it's a blink of an eye.
In the quiet room, Lu Zhong sat cross-legged.
Opposite him, there was an identical figure.
Even if others observe carefully, they cannot tell the difference.
And this is the special incarnation practiced by Lu Zhong.
Seeing the spiritual light surging, he slowly created a restriction. Once the incarnation was refined, all he had to do was send in the Miaohua Moon Pearl to complete this step.
However, Lu Zhong thought for a while and decided to take extra insurance.
He flipped his hand and took out the sword that killed him. He pressed his fingers on the blade of the sword to let the brilliance sink into it, and then he drove the sword into the incarnation's Dantian.
Thus, the life and death of the incarnation depended on his thoughts.
In view of the special nature of the killing sword, even if it betrays it after its incarnation, it cannot be eradicated.
What's more, he can't refine this sword for his own use.
This is the last resort.
After doing this, Lu Zhongcai looked at his work with a satisfied smile on his face. Then he released the prepared elixir and took out the Miaohua Moon Bead.
"I have notes on every step of the Yuehua Miaohua Xingxing Dan, and I will leave it to you next."
"Well, just leave it to me."
The Avatar nodded and took the Miaohua Moon Pearl. Then he raised his head, drank it, and immediately began to refine the elixir and began to cultivate the elixir.
Seeing nothing strange, Lu Zhong took him to the sacred tree of Kongmulberry. Then once the tree hole was closed, the incarnation was completely isolated from the outside world. Next, it depends on whether the incarnation can pass the test of time.
"Now it's time to do my own thing."
...
Many years have passed, and the storm of Fang He's death has long subsided.
Lu Zhong sent an avatar to investigate, and after confirming that he was safe and sound, he returned to the Lingque Mountain Cave Mansion. However, he never thought that a guest would come to visit him just one day after returning.
The person who came was none other than Taoist Aunt Suxin from the Hua Qiong Sect.
After so many years, there haven't been many obvious changes in this woman. It's just that I have improved a lot in my cultivation. I think it won't be long before I can break through to the late stage of Void Refining.
After a while, the guests and hosts took their seats and spiritual tea was served.
"We haven't seen each other for many years. My Taoist friend's improvement in cultivation is as fast as mine. It seems reasonable that Taoist friend Jinguang has achieved so much. So when I met this opportunity, I immediately thought of Jinguang Taoist." Friends, I want to invite Taoist friends to act together so that we can take care of each other." Su Xin said with a slight smile, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, no longer as serious as before.
"Fellow Taoist, I am over-praised! My success today can only be regarded as the result of chance. If something goes wrong along the way, the result will be like the fate of thousands of monks, reduced to withered bones in the grave." Lu Zhong replied modestly. , the topic changed: "By the way, what is the opportunity to get all the fellow Taoists from the Hua Qiong Sect to care so much?"
"Oh, it seems that fellow Taoist monk is really an ascetic monk. He didn't even know about the birth of the spirit realm." Taoist Aunt Su Xin looked surprised, but she soon felt relieved. After all, a monk like Lu Zhong would not be able to focus on the spiritual world if he didn't devote himself to it. On the road, how can we achieve today's achievements?
Immediately, she said everything.
The so-called spiritual realm refers to the "blue sky spiritual realm".
"This spiritual realm was originally the mountain gate of Biluo Sect, a large sect in ancient times. However, bad luck caused the sect to decline and fall after a series of crises and crises."
"However, even though this sect is destroyed, the production in the spiritual realm continues."
"No matter who you are, you can obtain a spiritual object called 'Qingxiao Water' by passing the three trials of Biluo Sect. I think fellow Taoists must also know the function and importance of this object, right?"
Of course Lu Zhong has heard of Qingxiao Water.
It is useless for cultivation, but it will be of great help for the future path.
This spiritual water can cleanse the soul, make it clearer and more transparent, or increase potential, or remove pollution. Therefore, it is sought after by thousands of monks. From monks in the transformation stage to great powers in the Mahayana stage, everyone can benefit endlessly from it.
Such a magical object can indeed make Taoist Su Xin, who was born in the Hua Qiong Sect, take it seriously.
