When the two men saw Lu Zhong, they both smiled.
"Chen Daoyou is friendly, and I have written a book in Xiaguan. This is Fellow Daoist Lin. To be honest, we are both guest ministers under Elder Tong. Recently, there is a shortage of alchemists there. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Well..."
Lu Zhong smiled, but he was secretly thinking about the origin of Elder Natong.
After thinking about it for a while, he remembered that the so-called Tong Elder was actually a monk with the same cultivation level as himself and in the same middle stage of virtual refining. This person has joined Feng Yuanhui and seems to be a powerful figure. He is currently mainly responsible for refining mid- to low-level elixirs.
The reason why he wooed the alchemist was probably related to his job.
If you are an ordinary god, even if you master an alchemy skill, you will inevitably worry about training resources. Upon hearing that Elder Tong is recruiting, there is a high probability that he will agree on the spot. After all, with this person's position in the Feng Yuan Society, it is not easy to obtain scarce resources that are difficult for others to obtain.
However, Lu Zhong was not interested at all.
He is used to seeing wind and rain, and he has no interest in getting involved now. He just wants to practice quietly.
So, he politely declined the invitation.
After Guan and Lin heard this, they were a little surprised. According to their guess when they came, Master Chen should think carefully even if he didn't agree on the spot.
It seems that now, I am not even interested in hearing the conditions.
For a time, many speculations emerged in the two people's minds, and they suspected that someone had taken a step ahead. However, even though the recruitment ended in failure, they were still smiling.
After some small talk, he stood up and left.
After sending the people away, Lu Zhong stood in the courtyard, looking at the dark night and thinking for a while.
"There may be something unusual behind this matter."
According to normal circumstances, a monk like him who has recently arrived, whose base is not yet able to tell whether he is innocent or not, and who has not yet completely gained trust, is very unlikely to be spotted and recruited by the forces.
If this happened, it could be that, as the two of them had just said, there was a shortage of alchemists under Elder Tong.
Either that or... something happened in Feng Yuanhui.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong raised his hand and released more than ten avatars, asking them to try to collect information. It would be best if they could find something, and if they didn't find anything, it would not be a loss for him.
...
Time passed by in a blink of an eye.
After settling down for such a long time, Lu Zhong has taken root in Fengyuan Immortal City. Not only is he familiar with his neighbors, but he has also accumulated a lot of reputation by producing high-quality elixirs in large quantities.
The character of the alchemist was successfully established.
After completing the initial accumulation, Lu Zhong handed over the production and sale of subsequent elixirs to the incarnation, and then he focused all his energy on improving his cultivation.
As for the matter of reforging the Shocking Bell, we decided to put it off for the time being.
At the moment, he is at the critical moment of overcoming the tribulation, and it is really difficult to cause any big disturbance. If you are unlucky, all your hard work will be given away to others, and you will not be even remotely good.
Soon, Lu Zhong began to retreat.
Facts have proved that it is extremely correct to spend great efforts to take pictures of the Nine Turns Jade Essence Pill.
Thanks to this elixir, his cultivation speed increased several times that of monks of the same level.
The quiet room is full of spiritual energy.
Lu Zhong was still sitting cross-legged on the futon, with his eyes slightly closed. The flashing spiritual light on his body suddenly subsided at this moment, but he refined another Nine-turn Jade Essence Pill.
After a little induction, my magic power has improved a lot compared to before.
"At this rate, I'm afraid the time to break through to the late stage of Void Refining will be faster than I thought." Thinking of this, he decided to refine Yakumo's barrier-breaking pill first, just in case of emergency.
Just do it.
After dodging, Lu Zhong came to the alchemy room.
Considering that the Yakumo Cup was not easy to obtain and could not be wasted casually, he did not directly start the alchemy furnace. Instead, he preheated the alchemy furnace according to the procedure, and then randomly made a few furnaces of elixirs to practice his skills.
After the preparation work is completed, the refining of the barrier-breaking elixir can be officially started.
During this process, the benefits of the soul completing its transformation in advance became apparent.
According to Lu Zhong's original estimate, the success rate of the first batch of Yakumo Barrier-Breaking Pills refined in this trip was only 20% at best. If one performs poorly, or if the difficulty of refining the elixir exceeds expectations, or due to other unexpected factors, it is very possible that the elixir completion rate drops to 15% or even 10%.
But unexpectedly, the result was far beyond expectations.
There are six pills out of the furnace!
Lu Zhong looked at the Yakumo Barrier-Breaking Pill in his palm, showing a dumbfounded expression.
It is obviously impossible for him to take so many barrier-breaking pills by himself. It would be too wasteful to put them in the storage ring to eat ashes. After that, they will probably be leaked outside and find a suitable person through auction.
However, these are all things for later.
Lu Zhong put the elixir into the jade bottle, affixed a sealing talisman to mark it, and put it away.
As soon as it was done, news came from the incarnation.
As he had guessed before, something was indeed happening within Feng Yuanhui.
Things can be big or small.
To put it mildly, it was just a grudge between two ordinary elders in a meeting of eighteen. After all, the cause was just a batch of elixir orders. Due to the different forces represented by the two, this conflict resulted.
Taking this as a trigger, the two started a competition.
In order to defeat their competitors, both parties unanimously adopted the method of recruiting alchemists to enhance their voice.
Unexpectedly, this further intensified the conflict.
According to the latest news, this matter has been fermented for a long time, and its impact has become greater day by day. It has gradually developed into a secret confrontation between the two factions of Feng Yuanhui.
The two major factions are supported by the sect and the casual cultivators respectively.
Therefore, the two major factions of Feng Yuanhui, also known as the "Zongmen Sect" and the "Rose Cultivator Sect", respectively represent the interest groups behind them and serve as their speaking microphones.
However, due to the restraint exercised by both parties, the situation did not get out of hand.
In this regard, Lu Zhongquan regarded it as watching a show.
This kind of thing has happened more than once or twice in Fengyuanhui.
The results every time will prove that as long as there are no major unexpected impacts, the dispute between the two factions will inevitably end with a compromise by one party to prevent the expansion of the conflict.
The next development of the situation seems to be developing on the established track.
...
Things are ups and downs, time goes by.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Zhong has settled in Fengyuan Immortal City for five hundred years.
At the same time, this day was also the day when he successfully survived the disaster.
"I didn't expect that after surviving the disaster, there would be such benefits, which could help me surpass the limit of the middle stage of Void Refining." At this moment, Lu Zhong's face showed a look of surprise, and he couldn't stop the smile on his lips, but It was after the tribulation that he sensed that the soul, which had already transformed to the extreme, was showing signs of transformation again.
Although it is subtle, it is indeed getting stronger.
With this benefit, it was really worth it that his soul had been burned by Yin Fire for five hundred years!
