While the two bosses were leaving, Lu Zheng took the time to return to modern times while visiting Wansong Mountain, and made a phone call to express that he was still alive.
This time, Lu Zheng has been missing for the longest time in modern times.
In the past, whether it was a flood trip or a wedding banquet in southern Xinjiang, Lu Zheng had time to return to the modern world. But this time, he really played chess for more than a month!
If Lu Zheng hadn't brought his chess skills to a very high level and really developed some interest in it, he would have probably vomited.
Even so, he didn't want to touch the chessboard any time soon, he just wanted to be quiet.
Even if Lu Zheng succeeds in cultivation, even if he becomes an immortal, he is still just a young man in his twenties who has been baptized by modern entertainment culture, so...
Although they are all entertainment activities, how can such ancient intellectual activities as playing chess be as interesting as mindless entertainment such as playing games and watching TV dramas?
To put it bluntly, I still enjoy too little.
It was not good to stay in modern times for too long. Lu Zheng processed some news and then traveled back to Wansong Mountain again.
I just came back from time travel, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a sika deer grazing at the entrance of the cave. I was startled, turned around and ran away.
Lu Zheng shook his head and continued to wander around Wansong Mountain.
"Is this the hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum?"
Lu Zheng had just taken two steps when he discovered the treasure in the shade of a stream.
The black-red Polygonum multiflorum is about one foot in diameter and exudes a faint medicinal fragrance. Although it is not a magic medicine, it is still the best in the world.
"Good stuff, keep it!"
Are you kidding, pine nuts full of spiritual energy can be eaten as snacks. This centuries-old medicinal material grows in the mountains like weeds, and of course it is not in the eyes of Wansong Taoist.
However, Lu Zheng did not refuse anyone who came. As long as it was an ownerless and valuable thing, he put it all into the gourd.
A gourd with such a large space will remain idle even if it is idle. Whether it is used as medicine, brewed in wine, or sold in modern times, it can exert its due value.
It's better than leaving it here and being eaten by an unknown species of beast.
Lu Zheng had traveled before and looked for wild medicinal materials along the way. The biggest harvest was the few red fruits, and then there were the occasional scattered one or two hundred-year-old medicinal materials.
These medicinal materials are basically sold to Huairentang in exchange for money, so Lu Zheng is now the top VIP customer in Huairentang and responds to all requests. That's why he could call so many medicinal materials in stock before.
However, the boundary of Wansong Mountain is obviously different from ordinary deep mountains and old forests. Because of the presence of Wansong Taoist, the concentration of spiritual energy here is obviously higher than that of ordinary areas. Therefore, even ordinary spiritual fruits are abundant, let alone absent. Reiki's ordinary medicinal materials.
Although he helped Taoist Wansong, Lu Zheng certainly couldn't catch up all the spiritual fruits and elixirs on Wansong Mountain like a country bumpkin, but ordinary medicinal materials did not have this concern.
Ordinary medicinal materials in this kind of world can have a hundred-year potency in just ten years. It is estimated that Taoist Wansong didn't even take a look at them, and they all took advantage of the wild beasts in the mountains.
In this case... Ginseng, Polygonatum sibiricum, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, Tianqi...
Lu Zheng didn't pick up any medicinal herbs with a potency of less than a hundred years, but even so, Lu Zheng just walked around a small corner of Wansong Mountain like a walk, and harvested sixty or seventy hundred-year-old medicinal herbs.
It was comparable to what he had gained in the previous two years.
These were just ordinary medicinal materials. He had a spiritual energy and saw one or two plants, but in the end he still didn't have the nerve to pick them up.
One is that elixirs are different from ordinary medicinal materials after all, and the other is that the several elixirs and elixirs Lu Zheng has on hand are enough to last for a while.
The point is, once Taoist Wan Song really solves the chess game in the dream with the help of Lu Zheng, then Taoist Wan Song owes Lu Zheng a huge favor. As long as Lu Zheng asks for it, will a mere magical medicine still matter? ?
So Lu Zheng is not in a hurry, not at all.
After picking up some century-old medicinal materials, Lu Zheng also collected his thoughts and stopped looking around. Instead, he went to places with wide views, climbed high and looked far away, and visited the magnificent scenery.
"This feeling and this scene deserve a poem!"
Then Lu Zheng had enough momentum to stand on the rocks of the sea of clouds for a long time.
"It's so good that I can't express it."
…
The ancient pine trees on the top of the mountain rustled in the breeze, and Song Kaichuan never appeared.
Lu Zheng traveled around the mountain, and the two days passed quickly.
…
The third day of March will be auspicious and everything will go well.
The morning sun rises, and the golden clouds fill the sky.
Lu Zheng sat on a big rock on the top of another mountain, refining his energy all night, and then opened his eyes stimulated by the dazzling golden light.
I saw mountains in the distance, roaring tigers and deer in the forest, boundless sea of clouds in the distance, and hawks and falcons in the sky.
The golden sun shines in the sky, and the mountains and rivers on the ground are in various shapes.
It’s truly a boundless scenery!
"Jade seal, improve!"
"Buzz!"
True energy, blood, gas, temperament, true spirit, etc., all have improved a bit.
He patted the gourd and took out the desk, brush, rice paper, paint, and water.
With a pen in hand, Lu Zheng took a deep breath and said again.
"Jade seal, improve!"
Jade seal, "..."
"Buzz!"
This time it was about traditional Chinese painting skills. After consuming more than a dozen rays of luck in one breath, Lu Zheng felt that he was already comparable to Xu Beihong.
Lu Zheng didn't use his true energy, he just used his normal speed and writing power to write.
Time passed slowly. Although the sun was already in the sky and the fog in the mountains dissipated, the scenery just now was deeply imprinted in Lu Zheng's mind.
…
It wasn't until Shen Shizhong that the sun began to set in the west. Lu Zheng put down the brush in his hand and let out a sigh of relief.
On the table in front of him was a Chinese painting seven feet long and four feet wide.
The sun rises with great light.
Mountains, rivers, clouds and seas shine brightly in all directions.
"Great painting!"
Lu Zheng turned around and saw Song Kaichuan standing not far behind him.
Song Kaichuan stroked his beard with one hand and asked curiously, "Little friend Lu is so proficient in calligraphy and painting?"
Song Kaichuan was not proficient in calligraphy and painting, but he had practiced for thousands of years and had profound Taoism, so he could see the artistic conception.
Lu Zheng's painting contains an artistic conception of endless life in the landscape and the sun shining in all directions.
And if the artistic conception can be expressed in the painting, then of course it is a good painting, and the painter who painted it is of course a top painter.
Lu Zheng smiled shyly and said, "A little bit involved."
But he didn't say that the painting was not good enough to make the seniors laugh. After all, he put his heart into this painting and it was indeed very good. If it was too modest, it would look a bit fake.
"When did senior arrive?" Lu Zheng asked.
"I didn't arrive before the time. I saw you were concentrating on painting, so I didn't call you." Song Kaichuan said, "In a few hours, the old pine tree should wake up, so I came out to wait for him."
