As soon as these words came out, Patriarch Taiyin's expression changed.
She looked at the empty mulberry sacred tree with an unkind expression, suddenly laughed, then moved her gaze to Lu Zhong, and admitted directly: "Yes, I do have a spiritual seed in me. Although I don't know what the purpose of your coming is, it will definitely satisfy you. I want to ask for it. It’s not impossible to give it to you... My conditions are very simple, just let me out."
As Taiyin Patriarch said, he took out a seed out of thin air without knowing where it came from.
This kind is green and white in color, the size of a date stone, as bright as jade, and exudes a hazy glow. It looks quite extraordinary at first glance, and it contains amazing spiritual energy fluctuations inside.
"How? This is a laurel seed."
"Even I have paid a huge price to get it. Therefore, the tree contains the magic of Taiyin, and it is most suitable to assist monks like you and me."
"With it, Mahayana will not have no way to enter the country."
Lu Zhong looked at the "laurel" seed with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "Laurel, this tree has indeed been mentioned in the Dao Alliance books, more than once or twice. It is considered one of the best ancient spiritual roots in the Linghuan world. The effect this woman said should be feasible and effective..."
If this spiritual seed can be cultivated successfully through the seeding method, the benefits to him will be self-evident. Although the Taiyin clone that was finally made could not understand and obtain the power of the space laws of the sacred tree, the mysterious laws hidden in Taiyin were actually not under the space laws, and were even slightly superior to them.
At that time, Lu Zhong was already moved.
But when he calmed down, he was not ready to agree.
The reason is simple.
Without a safety guarantee, rashly releasing an offended "Fallen Immortal" is undoubtedly making yourself uncomfortable. If the Taiyin Patriarch is determined to cause trouble for his unfilial disciple, then in the coming days, if Lu Zhong still wants to live a peaceful life, he may have no choice but to hide in Xuancang Fortress.
As if he had guessed what Lu Zhong was thinking, the sacred tree beside him suddenly said:
"But are you worried that she will be unfavorable to you? I have a method here. The oath of heaven is invalid for ascended monks, but it does not mean that they are completely transcendent. As long as they have not completely achieved true immortality, then... some seemingly unworthy A small amount of constraint can continue to restrain such monks."
After hearing this, before Lu Zhong could react, Patriarch Taiyin's expression changed drastically.
"You tree, how dare you plot against me!"
Patriarch Taiyin originally thought that the cautious and unfilial disciple in front of him would never agree to the previous conditions, which was to release himself in exchange for spiritual seeds.
Unexpectedly, Kongmulg Shenmu came to intervene again.
Shenmu is right, the monks after ascension are no longer bound by the laws of heaven. In a sense, even for an ascended monk who cannot become an immortal, the life level is essentially the same as the way of heaven. There is no fundamental difference between the two, only the strength of the accumulated power.
Therefore, even if you swear casually, there is nothing you can do about it.
but.
After all, it is an existence that has not yet become a true immortal.
If you make a vow and then break it, you will suffer backlash as a result.
Although the price is not high, it depends on whether it is worth it. It is obviously not worth it to waste tens or even millions of years just to vent the anger in your heart and rashly violate the content of the oath.
Under the sound transmission of Kongmulg Divine Tree, Lu Zhong understood the effect and backlash of the vow, and couldn't help but think to himself: "Even breaking the vow only takes a while, and you can recover without any sequelae. It is truly worthy of the existence after ascension." . If the road to becoming an immortal has not changed, I am afraid that she has already attained immortality and is no longer subject to any restrictions."
After some thought and derivation using the gray fog space, he finally decided to agree to this condition.
After Taiyin Patriarch made his vow, Lu Zhong got the laurel seed as he wished.
"snort!"
Taiyin Patriarch, who had been tricked into losing his tree species, looked extremely ugly at this moment.
When her body was not revived, she could instinctively use this unexpected incarnation to refine the laurel seed bit by bit, turning it into a very special half body, and then assisting in the next plan.
But now, it was all interrupted by a tree.
If he hadn't already made a vow and was worried about the backlash if he violated it, Patriarch Taiyin would have wanted to take action against Lu Zhong. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so she simply turned her head away and kept her sight out of sight.
After studying for a while, Lu Zhong saw that Taiyin Patriarch was motionless and had no intention of leaving.
Too lazy to pay attention to this person, he said goodbye to Kongmulg Shenmu.
...
In a quiet room.
Lu Zhong sat cross-legged, with the newly acquired laurel seeds floating in front of him, his face looking thoughtful. But he is seriously thinking about one thing, that is, whether to plant this spiritual seed directly in this Feng Yuan Immortal City.
Or, find a place to hide away from the world.
Or, plant it in the Xuan Cang Fortress of the Dao Alliance.
As for how to decide, Lu Zhong felt that it had to be based on the actual situation.
For now, the trouble that planting trees in Fengyuan Immortal City may encounter lies in the war that is spreading day by day. This war, initiated by the fallen immortals to refine the Nine-turn Golden Pill, will only become more and more intense. By then, not only the Feng Yuan world will be involved, but other immortal worlds will also be unable to stay away.
The war will surely spread to the entire Linghuan world.
In this case, either option has its pros and cons.
"I don't know if laurel can be planted in the mountain and river map..." Lu Zhong thought about it, and a very bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
If this method can really be realized, the shortcoming of "drawing the ground as a prison" in practicing the seed body method will no longer exist.
Thinking of the specialness of the Mountain and River Map and the gray fog space method he had mastered, Lu Zhong felt that it was necessary to give it a try. Furthermore, after the Seed Body Technique was created, there is no written record that any monk has practiced it. Perhaps by planting spiritual seeds in the cave space, we can really find a shortcut to avoid the shortcomings of the secret technique.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, wishing he could try it right away.
However, before that, one must first comprehend and master the body technique. Otherwise, simply deducing the tens of breaths in the future will not be enough to see the success or failure of the result.
Facts have proved that as long as you don't go out to cause trouble, trouble rarely comes.
Peaceful and quiet, in the blink of an eye, it lasts a hundred years.
Lu Zhong didn't care at all about the war outside and the plans of the fallen immortals. He devoted himself to seclusion and practiced daily as a routine, meditating on the Seed Body Technique in order to prepare for the next step.
...
This day.
Lu Zhong had just completed his comprehension of the Seed Body Technique.
After adjusting your breath and calming down for a while, you are immediately ready to start making deductions.
Unexpectedly, the ground suddenly shook.
Sensing this, he couldn't help but frown slightly and thought to himself: "The flames of war are spreading much faster than I expected. It seems that the desire of the fallen immortals to become immortals is really beyond human comprehension. "
With a move in his heart, Lu Zhong contacted the incarnation and soon had a general understanding of the current situation in the Feng Yuan world.
To sum it up in one sentence: it is a mess.
From west to east, from south to north, there is no place in the Feng Yuan world where war is not raging, either just starting, or entering a feverish stage. However, the Tu Palace, which was supposed to be the hegemonic force, suddenly disappeared at this time, and the rule in various places collapsed instantly, making it impossible for the war to stop.
Under this situation, Feng Yuan Immortal City naturally could not stay out of the matter and was already being targeted by a holy land.
The opponent comes from the "Delirium" family. With such a compound surname, most of them have ascended monks in their ancestors, so their strength is naturally unusually strong.
As far as the root avatar knows, the two sides have already had several battles, with each having its own victory or defeat.
However, judging from the shock just now, it is not difficult to guess that the battle line is getting closer and closer to Feng Yuan Immortal City, which shows that Feng Yuan Immortal City is at a disadvantage.
"It's been such an eventful time!"
Lu Zhong thought of this, and couldn't help but hope that his previous idea would succeed, so that he could get rid of the restrictions of drawing the ground as a prison. After gathering his thoughts, he began to deduce the future with the help of the gray fog space.
After dozens of breaths, he slowly opened his eyes, his heart filled with excitement.
"This method really works!"
According to the derivation results, laurels can indeed be planted in mountains and rivers, and the practice of cultivating the body will not be interrupted by this.
This is undoubtedly good news for Lu Zhong!
But at the same time, doing so is not without cost.
Without the spiritual veins that can take root, the source of spiritual energy becomes a problem. But in the mountains and rivers cave, due to the existence of the sacred tree, there is only one spiritual vein, and it also needs to supply the spiritual medicine needed for planting in the cave.
Therefore, how to support the growth of spiritual seeds has become a difficult problem to be solved.
Lu Zhong did have many solutions to this problem.
Now is the time of the war, and some of the best treasures that are difficult to move will gradually flow out of the treasure troves that have never seen the light of day and appear on the trading market as the power dies.
Among them, there are many things with spiritual eyes.
If enough numbers can be gathered, it will not be difficult to solve the problem of spiritual energy.
Before that, you can consume spiritual stones through the spirit gathering array to temporarily solve the spiritual energy needs of the spiritual species.
...
Mountains, rivers, caves and sky.
After some planning, Lu Zhong prepared to plant the laurel today.
This is the center of the cave, with a rugged lake surrounded by few people. It was a place he carefully selected and prepared for himself to plant trees.
Lu Zhong sat cross-legged on the bluestone by the lake and took out the laurel seeds.
During this period of time, through his continuous cultivation of magic power, this spiritual seed has become even brighter than before. At this moment, on a dark night, it looks like a green moon, which feels like the reappearance of the ancient lunar moon.
"It really makes people wonder whether the ancient Taiyin was also a tree."
After erasing this thought, Lu Zhong recited the method of body movement. After a long period of meditation, he was already familiar with it, and soon a starlight condensed on his fingertips.
Illusive, vaguely humanoid.
This thing can be regarded as the prototype of life element.
The next moment, he hit it on the spiritual seed.
The light shines brightly in an instant!
A magical scene appears.
The life essence fell on the laurel spirit seed and turned into countless complicated spiritual lines. Ignoring the obstruction of the layer of light on the surface of the spirit seed, it successfully penetrated into it!
At the same time, the light on the surface of the spiritual species began to change, from the original blue-white color to gradually transforming towards the direction of starlight. During the process, fine runes continued to appear, all of which were transformed by Lu Zhong's information. It was only with their existence that the purpose of refining the laurel spiritual seed could be achieved.
As the resistance was broken down layer by layer, a vague connection began to be established.
This feeling was extremely familiar to Lu Zhong.
Seeing this situation, he stepped up the activation of his technique and continued to shoot out life essences one after another.
After a full hundred days passed, Lu Zhong basically confirmed that the laurel spiritual seed had been refined, and all the original imprints in it had been completely erased by him, leaving only his own life essence.
The next step is to plant trees.
Without any delay, Lu Zhong opened his left hand, but the spiritual seed still fell from his palm.
"Snapped!"
The spiritual seed fell to the ground and immediately took root and sprouted.
It absorbs the spiritual energy around it and thereby firmly takes root in the earth. While extending its root system, it also pulls out its tender green buds and leaves, turning it into a seedling several inches tall.
Lu Zhong looked at the rudimentary spiritual energy vortex above his head and was a little surprised.
"What kind of spiritual species is this? It has just been born, but it can cause such a movement and absorb spiritual energy at a speed that even the Nascent Soul monks would lament. No, the collection of spiritual eyes can To speed up, we must maintain the supply of spiritual energy and ensure the normal growth of the laurel spiritual tree."
Keeping this in mind, Lu Zhong began to practice the body technique.
But as soon as he started, he became excited.
The effect is simply unexpected!
Even in its seedling state, the laurel spirit tree provided so little essence that Lu Zhong could clearly feel that his body was undergoing transformation. The originally indestructible bottleneck of body training finally cracked at this moment. As long as you practice persistently, it will only be a matter of time before you break through.
It wasn't until his body reached its limit that Lu Zhong ended his exercise.
Recalling the training process just now, his eyes couldn't help but shine slightly, and he murmured in his heart: "This hearty feeling... is really nostalgic!"
"The benefits of practicing Seed Body Technique don't stop there!"
At this time, Lu Zhong clearly felt that his speed of understanding the fusion had improved a lot compared to before. If he was crawling as slowly as a tortoise before, now he is running on all fours.
The two are not the same.
"Normally practicing Seed Body Technique has absolutely no such benefits! The key may be...the laurel seed I obtained can make an ascended monk regard it as a treasure. I think it must be extraordinary. place."
Lu Zhong couldn't help but look forward to it.
If you really create a "laurel clone", what benefits can you get from it?
"But looking at its growth rate, I'm afraid it will take a long time."
He looked at the laurel seedlings, and after thinking about it seriously, he took out a green gourd from the storage ring. The gourd contains the wood-nurturing spirit liquid, which was obtained from the incarnation business over the years.
Just as she uncorked the bottle, Laurel already felt a sense of longing through the connection between the two.
"You want it? Well, I'll satisfy you!"
Lu Zhong smiled slightly and poured out the spiritual liquid in the gourd.
next moment.
There was a rustling sound.
Almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, the seedlings are growing rapidly, and the branches are getting thicker and thicker, causing the nearby ground to bulge and crack. In the blink of an eye, they have grown to three inches, and are still growing rapidly.
It wasn't until one foot that he felt satisfied.
