Lu Zhong's eyes swept across the two women in the courtyard, but did not stay on them for a moment. He turned to look at the five children not far away, and finally stopped on one of them.
Judging from age, this person is only three years old.
Compared to his lively brothers and sisters, he was not only thinner, but also looked sickly. He could only stand aside and watch with envy in his eyes.
With just one glance, Lu Zhong knew "Lv Zhong's" intention of collecting life-extending things.
But it was not for himself, but to treat his youngest son's illness.
On the other side, seeing her husband coming back with a strange monk, Bai Xiaohan and Huang Shuyuan saw this, called their children and came over together, and bowed to each other.
After Lu Zhong returned the gift, he also gave everyone a gift with a smile.
When it was the sick child's turn, he called himself "Lu Changqing." The name obviously places the blessings of his parents, hoping that he can be like an evergreen tree and live for thousands of years.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a spirit-eating body, right?" Lu Zhong said in a voice message.
"Fellow Taoist is right, it is indeed a spirit-devouring body..." Upon hearing this, "Lv Zhong"'s expression suddenly darkened, as if all his strength had been drained away.
The soul-devouring body is a terminal disease that is extremely rare in the world of immortality.
It only appears in monks. Anyone who suffers from this disease seems to have a bottomless pit in their body. No matter how they practice, it is difficult to introduce Qi into the body. Moreover, as the age increases, the symptoms will become more and more serious. After the body's vitality is depleted, the essence, blood and vitality will be directly devoured until death at the end of life.
After Lu Zhong heard this, he stopped talking.
Then, he and the three of them entered the living room.
The guests were seated and the spiritual tea was poured.
"Lv Zhong" revealed the deal in front of Bai Xiaohan and Huang Shuyuan.
In this regard, the two women had different reactions.
Bai Xiaohan had a calm face and remained silent, her clasped hands showing her inner unrest at the moment; while Huang Shuyuan sobbed softly, and soon her eyes became red and swollen.
As for the objection?
They knew very well that this was the best outcome.
A man whose life span is about to be exhausted is exchanged for the opportunity to cure Yaozi's chronic illness.
No matter how you look at it, it's all worth it.
only......
Lu Zhong watched all this with cold eyes. It was impossible to say that he was not touched in his heart.
This situation is just like another interpretation of his life.
In fact, without the help of the "grey mist space", Lu Zhong's life might have been like this, and there would be no way he could practice to become a god in the future, let alone achieve the goal of cultivating the void.
As his thoughts were swirling, Lu Zhong's eyes suddenly moved back.
I saw a pool of black water suddenly appearing on the flat ground outside the house, and then a figure slowly emerged, it was Lian who had been away for a long time. She didn't look good at the moment, and she could even be said to be out of her mind.
I don’t know what she went through during this trip.
However, Lu Zhong did not pay attention to her. Instead, he looked at "Lv Zhong" and the three of them, and thought for a while before speaking:
"Actually, Changqing's disease is not incurable. In my opinion, it is not even a disease, but a special constitution. The reason why it is life-threatening is because there is too little spiritual energy in this world today. It is so barren that the body's replenishment cannot keep up with the consumption. As time goes by, the essence is depleted, and only then does the spirit-eating disease develop."
"I have some speculation about this."
"Lu Zhong" sighed.
But knowing the root cause but being unable to solve the reality is the greater pain.
He once sought treatment from a foundation-building alchemist, who had superb medical skills and gave him a solution. That is, the only way to solve the spirit-eating disease was to successfully build the foundation. Only in this way can a large amount of external spiritual energy be introduced to balance one's own consumption and absorption.
If this can be achieved, Lu Changqing will also have the opportunity to take off.
From then on, it skyrocketed!
Unfortunately, this is destined to be impossible to achieve. The spirit-eating body is far more terrifying than the soul-devouring body. It will swallow all the spiritual energy that enters the body.
In the process of cultivation, spiritual energy must be continuously supplied for the spirit body to devour, but this has a sequelae, that is, Lu Changqing's body cannot bear it, and the meridians will inevitably burst.
The only solution is to transfer a ray of extremely pure spiritual energy to offset the astonishing consumption efficiency of the spirit-devouring body, so that the energy can be introduced into the body.
But this is impossible to do.
Because the spiritual energy that can meet this requirement does not exist in this world.
"What if I can solve it?"
Lu Zhong smiled slightly, and then turned his gaze to "Lv Zhong".
When the latter heard this, his body trembled slightly, and after his complexion changed several times, he calmed down: "If fellow Taoist can do it, even if I have to work as a cow or a horse for thousands of years, I, Lu Zhong, will be willing to do it!"
"Husband!"
When the two women next to him heard this, they both exclaimed.
Seeing that they were still trying to persuade them, "Lv Zhong" waved his hand to interrupt the two girls, and said with a relaxed smile: "You don't need to persuade them anymore. I can exchange my remaining life for everlasting life. This life is enough for me!"
"Next, please ask fellow Taoists to realize this."
"certainly."
Lu Zhong responded like this, but he was thinking in his heart.
Is it worth it for me to spend so much money?
According to the previous transaction, he had almost no need to pay. He could exchange for the world line to be unified with only a bottle of Blood Pill. Now, for a possibility, it may be necessary to ask Lian for help.
In this case, a lot of effort is inevitable.
In the end, Lu Zhong decided to believe in his hunch, that is, it would be of great benefit to him to have "Lv Zhong" from another world line actively choose to unify, so he sent a message to Lian:
"I need a ray of pure spiritual energy here, the purer the better."
"As you wish, my lord."
Lian did not refuse Lu Zhong's request, but felt secretly happy in her heart.
Then, a dim glow formed on her fingertips.
Lu Zhong looked at this glow and felt a rare surprise in his heart. This was the first time he saw that the spiritual energy that was so pure was no longer in the three states of gas, liquid and solid, but became a ray of light.
"I'm afraid it can no longer be called spiritual energy."
Maybe...this is the real fairy spirit.
"This spiritual energy is not for my use, so I need to remove the impurities in it, leaving only the pure spiritual energy." Seeing that Lian condensed this light and made no other moves, Lu Zhong reminded him in time.
If not, Lu Changqing's illness would be cured if this immortal spiritual energy entered his body.
However, under the influence of the underworld woman's aura, or to be precise, the information carried by a high-level existence like her was seriously polluted. It is hard to say what the outcome will be like in the future.
Maybe, he will eventually grow into a ghost giant.
Hearing this, Lian nodded, pulled out a few strands of gray silk with a snap of his fingers, and began to purify it. Without the influence of these "impurities", the wisp of fairy spirit energy suddenly became bright and transparent.
At first glance, it looks like a jumping golden flame.
"Pure and flawless, but like blood flowing..."
"What is the essence of spiritual energy?"
Lu Zhongduo glanced twice, then stretched out his hand and injected this ray of spiritual energy into Lu Changqing's body. The latter felt a warmth flow into his body, and his mental state was much better, but he didn't know what happened.
However, "Lv Zhong" and his wife knew that their youngest son's chronic illness had been cured.
The black hole that devoured spiritual energy in Gein's vision of the Qi Watching Technique has been completely filled.
From now on, as long as Lu Changqing practices step by step, he will not die due to accidents on the way. Not to mention reaching the realm of Nascent Soul, even if you are the transformed god at the top of the world of immortality, you can still look at it.
All these changes were brought about by Lu Zhong in front of him.
