Time passed, and a few days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, a figure appeared in the sky over the deserted wilderness.
After Lu Zhong finished the transmission, he looked down at his surroundings. The darkness could not block his sight, and he soon saw five giant peaks like lions.
"Five Lion Mountain, it seems the underground entrance is nearby."
After being separated from Taoist Haiqing, he continued to move towards Daoluo City. On the way, he rescued a convoy and learned from the other party that due to the sudden change in the world, most of the entrances to Daoluo City were closed, leaving only Accessible from everywhere.
Wushi Mountain is one of them.
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be true.
Perhaps he felt that Daoluo City was a pure land. There were many monks who came here to avoid disasters, and most of them moved their families or entire sects. Flying boats hundreds of feet high were everywhere, and some even traveled with secret realms.
There are also many monks walking alone, and people keep coming.
There is a clear distinction between the two, and there are long lines of people entering from different gates. There will be guards checking them.
At this moment, Lu Zhong's cultivation level has reached the first level of Golden Immortal, but his cultivation level is still outstanding.
As expected, monks from Daoluo City came to the door soon.
"Junior Yu Chunhai, the elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall of Daoluo City, I wonder what you call me?" The person who came was a lean middle-aged man, wearing a white robe, and he held his hands respectfully.
In terms of cultivation, he is just a Jade Immortal.
"You're welcome, fellow Taoist. I, Lu Zhong, heard that Daoluo City was recruiting talents, so I came here specifically to have a look." Lu Zhong slightly held his hand, not too arrogantly.
When the latter heard this, his face showed joy.
"I wonder if you are interested in joining our Daoluo City? Please rest assured that joining will not hinder your freedom. Whether you want to take action on matters in the alliance still depends on your wishes. As long as you are willing to contribute to the alliance, you can get a lot of benefits. .”
Lu Zhongyi cupped his hands and said with interest: "Please, fellow Taoist, please tell me."
"Come here, fellow Taoist, please come over here!" When Yu Chunhai saw that there was something going on, his attitude became much more friendly. He stepped aside and called to the deacon at Guankou: "Deacon Zhang, this fellow Taoist wants to join our Daoluo. I will take him with him." Got in."
"Of course, of course." The deacon laughed and didn't dare to ask more questions.
After passing through the pass, the two came to a large hall.
The furnishings in the palace are not luxurious, but they are considered thoughtful. You can see many strange objects that are not found on the ground, so it does not look shabby.
After the guests and hosts took their seats, they first exchanged greetings.
Not long after, spiritual tea and fruit were served.
Yu Chunhai then got down to business, put down the tea cup in his hand, and placed a jade slip on the table, "About the benefits that can be obtained after joining Daoluo City, the details are written in it. Fellow Taoists can read it. two."
Lu Zhong took it and soaked it with his consciousness.
After a while, he put down the jade slip.
There is not much content in it, but the summary is that after joining Daoluo City, what you pay and what you get is generally fair.
In a nutshell, the more work you do, the more you get.
Whether you are refining elixirs for Daoluo City, maintaining order, or killing foreign invaders, you can obtain "Daoluo Tokens". Depending on the level of merit, there are five-color Daoluo Tokens of white, green, black, red, and gold. They are one hundred advancements from each other. system.
It also contains things that can be exchanged for the Daoluo Order, which includes almost all the resources needed for practice. The top one is the golden lotus water in the center of the earth.
Lu Zhong took a look and found that he had to get five golden Daoluo Tokens.
"It seems that it is not easy to get it."
He thought to himself.
"Even if we get it all together later, according to the value of the Golden Lotus Water in the Earth's Core, Daoluo City may not simply hand it over, and there may be a lot of trouble."
But even so, Lu Zhong still planned to give it a try.
Thinking of this, he rushed to Yu Chunhai and handed over his hands, "I wonder if there are other unwritten rules for joining Daoluo City?"
"Fellow Taoist, are you planning to join? That's great, unwritten rules? Maybe, but it's only for true immortals and below. After all, this group of applicants,
There are so many of them that without restrictions, just sorting through them would be a huge headache. "
As Yu Chunhai spoke, he took out a golden book and wrote:
"I will record it here first, and then report it to all Daluo Taiyi. After being registered, fellow Taoist will be considered a formal member of Daoluo City. However, it will take some time to complete the process. During this period, fellow Taoist can try to settle down. Come down."
"If your hands are really itchy, you can also go to the left side of the Foreign Affairs Hall. There is the commission hall. All the commissions in the alliance are hung there. Of course, it is not easy for non-Daolo members to receive good commissions. After all... .... Well, fellow Taoist, please forgive me."
After apologizing, Yu Chunhai left in a hurry.
Lu Zhong originally thought that the process would take a long time, at least several days, to complete. Unexpectedly, he had just finished a cup of spiritual tea in the palace and was about to get up and go out.
Yu Chunhai left and came back again, with an extra jade medal in his hand.
"Congratulations, fellow Taoist, all the procedures have been completed."
"Oh? How come it's so fast?"
Lu Zhong asked in surprise.
"Fellow Taoist is lucky to meet Senior Huo Ling. As his name suggests, this person is fast-paced and fickle. He hates delays, so he gets things done very quickly."
"Thanks to Senior Fire Spirit, the backlog of things accumulated in recent years has finally been cleared away."
When Yu Chunhai said this, he also looked relaxed.
"Here, this is fellow Taoist's identity card."
Lu Zhong reached out to take it and found that the material of the jade plaque was very simple. It was just an ordinary spiritual jade, but it had a trace of great energy engraved on it. xь.
It is impossible to trace the traces by this method, but it can be used for identification because of the special Qi mechanism.
This is much more practical than any restrictions or secret methods.
After entering Daoluo City, the journey was smooth.
As I walked and looked around, I saw that Daoluo was indeed very different from the outside world. Compared to the darkness outside, it was quite peaceful here.
Along the way, everything he saw was prosperous.
Although there was some noise, it did not change the overall situation.
Seeing a shop selling miscellaneous books about Daoluocheng on the roadside, Lu Zhong bought one. After briefly reading it, he gained a better understanding of this place.
According to the book, Daoluo City can be divided into three parts.
They are the main city of Daoluo. The original Daoluo City refers to this city. It is not only the location of the main line of Daoluo Immortal Vein, but also the most prosperous place in the entire Daoluo.
Next are the three great cities, which belong to the three saints of Daoluo, one Daluo, and two Taiyi Jade Immortals.
After that, there is the city ring.
The Ring City was created after the sudden change in the world. It was a newly opened circular settlement in Daoluo City to house the monks who had taken refuge. The aura there is relatively thin, the resources are very poor, and the residents have to bear the responsibility of defense in the corresponding direction.
Even so, it's still a little bit better than outside.
At least it's safe inside.
Considering that he would need to stay here for a while, Lu Zhong prepared to settle in the main city, both for safety reasons and to facilitate his practice.
...
More than ten years later.
On the outside of the city ring, a battle was coming to an end.
Countless corpses piled up into mountains, and blood pooled into pools, showing the brutality of the war.
In the sky above the battlefield, two figures were juxtaposed. One of them was a thin old man with white hair and a childish face. He recalled the thrilling scene just now, and his face was full of joy.
"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Lu this time. If fellow Daoist had not provided timely support, the consequences would have been disastrous."
Lu Zhong shook his head and said with a serious face: "Fellow Taoist, I have given you too much praise. The reason why this battle can turn defeat into victory is because of the persistence of fellow Taoists. If not, even if I arrive, all I will see is a pile of corpses and people." It’s just a broken city wall.”
While the two were talking, a ray of light flew from behind.
Soon it flew in front of the two of them, and the light dissipated, revealing a female cultivator. She was dressed in Daoluo costumes and had a green crown on her head. She was obviously Daoluo's messenger.
"Senior Lu, the ninth district of the northwest ring belt is suffering from the invasion of strange immortals. The situation is urgent. The guardian envoy has sent this junior to ask for your help!"
"District 9? I'll be there immediately."
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I'll take my leave first."
Lu Zhong did not refuse and immediately opened a spatial rift.
The figure flashed and disappeared immediately.
There was a rumble in the void.
Lu Zhong's figure appeared and landed directly in the center of the battlefield. He happened to be face to face with the target, but it was a strange fairy that looked like a rat man, but was actually a creature entangled in laws.
You can feel that the other party was slightly stunned.
"It seems that it is indeed true that weird immortals also have spiritual intelligence."
Lu Zhongsheng had such an idea, he had already slashed out the fairy sword in his hand, it was still the True Star Fairy Sword, it could only drive away the weird immortals, but it was not enough for him to use the Taoist weapon.
One sword divides, two swords cut, and three swords turn into nothing.
Although he was unable to kill the Strange Immortal, every time he destroyed its form, it could slow down its condensation speed. This shows that the existence of the Strange Immortal also relies on energy.
During this period, Wei Xian fought back in anger.
But so what?
Lu Zhong raised his hand to create a space barrier, blocking it directly, making it useless, and then slashed out with his sword.
After this time the strange immortals gathered together, they finally realized that their opponent was not simple.
He turned around hastily, obviously trying to escape.
"How can I allow you to come and go as you wish?" Lu Zhong did not let it go and continued to chase and attack until it took several breaths to condense each time before he stopped.
It's not that he doesn't want to continue chasing, but it's just that in such a short period of time, he has already reached the border.
Going forward, we have to go deeper into the darkness.
The risks and benefits did not match, so Lu Zhong naturally would not do useless work, so he turned around and returned to the battlefield to assist the local defenders and kill the invading dark monsters together.
Not long after, the battle came to an end.
One thing he noticed was that compared to before, more of the fallen monsters on the ground were in human form, which meant that the number of mortal monks being corrupted by darkness was increasing.
Reminiscent of the fact that a large number of monks migrated to join Daoluo City some time ago.
It is not difficult to conclude that the outside world is no longer habitable.
"I don't know what's going on in the Paradise of Cave Heaven?"
Shaking his head, Lu Zhong stopped thinking about it.
I met the local guard envoy, exchanged greetings for a while, and after receiving a red Daoluo Ling, I immediately said goodbye and left.
In a flash, he had returned to the main city to rent a cave.
Sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, Lu Zhong took stock of his recent gains.
"It took so much time to obtain eighteen red Dao Luo Tokens. There is still a huge gap between the five golden Dao Luo Tokens needed to exchange for the Golden Lotus Water in the Earth's Core."
That's why he has outstanding strength and quick escape skills.
Therefore, he was regarded as a savior by the garrison envoys everywhere, and he would always be the first choice for reinforcements whenever something happened, just because Lu Zhong came the fastest. If it were anyone else, even if he was in the middle stage of Jinxian, he would not be able to earn so many Dao Luo Ling.
It's only half of the sky.
"With this speed...it seems like we need to be prepared for a protracted battle."
Lu Zhong thought to himself.
...
In the following time, Lu Zhong was running around every day.
Either putting out fires or exterminating dark monsters, he was very busy. During this period, we encountered many troubles, and even encountered a strange fairy once. Fortunately, Daluo Jinxian took action, and we were able to get out of trouble in a short time.
Fortunately, there are not many such accidents, otherwise he would have changed his mind long ago.
In the blink of an eye, there are three Jiazi.
On this day, Lu Zhong was wandering on the street.
It's not that there is no war at the border. Since the sudden change in the world, the city ring has been raging with war, and there has never been a moment of rest. xь.
The reason for wandering around is to prepare to participate in a grand event.
Lantern Festival.
This event
It will be held in the main city of Daoluo in half an hour. It will be held under the leadership of Master Baodeng, one of the Three Saints. This is not only to facilitate the exchange of information between various forces, but also to use this grand event to boost some people. Low morale.
As time goes by, the changes in the world become more and more serious.
The consequence of this is that the erosion of darkness becomes more and more intense day by day. Even if the True Immortal comes to help repeatedly, it is difficult to reduce casualties.
So there was such a grand event.
For low-level monks, this is a rare opportunity to relax, and even have the opportunity to listen to the sermons of a true immortal, which is comparable to a chance sent from heaven. For high-level monks, they can communicate, and several exchange meetings will be held.
The venue is not far away.
Lu Zhong walked forward and suddenly moved his gaze to the left side of the street, landing on a pavilion.
This pavilion is a hundred feet high, with a total of eighteen floors. The whole body is made of night cinnabar, and stars are shining on the surface, so it is named "Star Pavilion".
There are a row of guards standing on both sides of the pavilion door. They are wearing warrior armor. They look mighty and majestic. They are all accomplished mystical cultivators. The weapons in their hands are also at the level of fairy treasures. There is no trace of them. Not showing off the extraordinaryness of this place.
At this moment, monks kept coming and stepping into it.
Most of the people who come and go are of extraordinary bearing, and their cultivation levels are above the True Immortal Realm. Not only Heavenly Immortals and Loose Immortals, but also Golden Immortals and Jade Immortals are not uncommon.
"Brother Taoist, I heard that many treasures will appear at this Lantern Festival. Is this true or false?"
"Of course it's true. I can say that I brought all my wealth with me this time, just to be able to buy something that breaks the rank, hoping to advance to the Golden Immortal Realm."
The two monks were talking and laughing as they walked into the Star Pavilion side by side.
Not only them, but other participating monks are also looking forward to this, perhaps hoping to buy elixirs or exchange them for skills.
In these troubled times, everyone is doing their best to improve their strength.
Only strong strength is the basis for survival.
Lu Zhong walked to the door of the pavilion, looking forward to this in his heart.
According to the information he learned, there will indeed be many valuable treasures at this exchange meeting, some of which even made him excited when he saw them.
Of course, it’s not easy to get it.
