Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 206 The Second Trip to the Western Territory

At the end of the year.

The Jiamu Lei method was successfully completed.

As soon as he left the customs, Lu Zhong received the news.

Dongbuyu sat down three days ago.

Dong Bu Lu and Dong Bu Alchemy Workshop under his name have changed their owners respectively, the only thing they have in common is the Elder of Changchun Valley, as for Dong Bu Nan, he has disappeared and should not end well.

This matter has almost no impact on the Chengde Chamber of Commerce.

As soon as the new year is over, Lu Zhong will take the flying boat of the Chamber of Commerce to Helingzong.

After a month of flying.

Arrived at Helingzong Mountain Gate.

This place was originally called "Qingyang Mountain". Later, after Qingyangmen was destroyed, it was occupied by Wulingmen and made a branch. It was called "Zhenyangshan" for a short time. This place was also occupied by evil cultivators. After changing hands several times among families and pheasant sects, it is now changed to "Heling Mountain".

When Lu Zhong came here, all he saw was a construction site.

Many buildings have just dug their foundations, without even laying in the cornerstone.

Looking at the top of Heling Mountain, there is a brightly lit hall. If there is no accident, Shui Ni should be there.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Shui Ni.

She sat cross-legged on the futon, closed her eyes and meditated.

Seeing Lu Zhong coming, he showed a smile on his face and greeted him: "My dear student, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time as a teacher, please sit here!"

Take your seat and pour a cup of spiritual tea.

Lu Zhong took a sip and found that the taste was not bad.

The master and apprentice chatted for a while, and soon got to the point.

Speaking of the three silver-armored corpses, Shui Ni frowned.

The general's tomb is adjacent to Qingliufang City at the foot of the mountain. If the silver-armored corpses in the tomb cannot be killed, the reconstruction of the city will not start. When the three silver-armored corpses in the tomb grow up, the safety of Helingzong will also be affected. influences.

Therefore, it is imperative to solve the hidden dangers of the general's tomb!
"As for the three silver-armored corpses in the general's tomb, I have already done some research in advance. The location of the main tomb area is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, the Qingyang Gate has been tampered with before, and the original corpse suppressing array has been changed. It has become a corpse raising array, and three armored corpses have been hiding in the tomb, and it is not easy to solve them inside."

Corpse array?
Hearing this, Lu Zhong thought that Qingyangmen was really ruthless.

It is estimated that their plan is to raise a few armored corpses with terrifying strength, so that the Wulingmen who occupy this place will pay a heavy price.

It's just that Qingyangmen didn't expect that Wulingmen's vitality would be seriously injured by this battle.

It didn't take long for Zhenyang Mountain to be taken away by evil cultivators.

Qingliufang City has been deserted until now. When he passed by, he could still see corpses surging inside. It was obvious that there were corpses entrenched in it. Qingyangmen's poisonous plan for revenge naturally came to nothing.

"This is the topographical map surveyed for the teacher. Take a look, dear student." Shui Ni frowned, and took out a jade slip from her sleeve.

Lu Zhong took it over and saw that there were some images besides the map.

The topography of the main cemetery is indeed complicated.

In order to prevent the tomb robbery, the ancient monks also set up a lot of traps, some of which are still in operation, and can cause a lot of trouble to Jindan Daoist. Use up to [-]% at most.

Looking at the jade slips, the messages.

Suddenly, Lu Zhong thought of a good way.

Although the main cemetery is buried deep underground, it is only ten feet deep.

Since it is difficult to deal with the three silver-armored corpses in the tomb, they should be forced out.

"Master, I think it can be like this..."

Lu Zhong expressed her thoughts, and immediately got Shui Ni's approval. She murmured: "It's really a dead end. Since we can't beat the three silver-armored corpses in the tomb, we should dig up the tomb area and force them to die." Come out, I never thought of this way!"

With the ability of a monk, it is not difficult to dig out.

"It just so happens that among the construction craftsmen, there are quite a few who are good at earth magic. You can let them... no, don't need to be so troublesome, just use two star-stretching spells, maybe you can smash them open!" After opening her mind, Shui Ni quickly thought solution.

After discussing until late at night, the two finalized the details.

Without further ado, start now.

With the escape speed of a monk who formed alchemy, it took only half an hour to rush from Helingzong to the general's tomb.

It can be seen from this that the general's tomb is indeed very close to Helingzong.

"My dear boy, remember this formula well. This is the untold secret of the Great Immortal Spirit Sect in Middle-earth. With the addition of this formula, it will be a complete secret technique." Shui Ni said, and spread A formula.

She glanced at the dark clouds that lingered overhead, and beckoned Lu Zhong to go up.

Soon, the two came above the clouds.

Seeing the bright stars here, and the sea of ​​stars hanging in the sky, Shui Ni nodded in satisfaction, then stretched out a hand and said, "Quickly follow Master to connect with the magic power and true essence, and we will perform the secret art of holding stars together to call out the sky." The stars blast away the general's tomb below!"

After hearing this, Lu Zhong was surprised.

Xin Dao's astrology, it turned out to be literal!
Seeing that Shui Ni sacrificed his star-appreciating magic weapon, he stretched out his right hand without thinking too much, connecting the mana essence with her, and then blessed himself with the flying star entrainment technique, the "Star Blessing" of the star-pattern vest. "Gift" was also activated, and the star-gathering technique of the star mirror naturally did not fall.

On Shui Ni's side, there was also a lot of blessing.

All of a sudden, the star power frantically gathered in this direction, illuminating half of the night sky.

The aura of the two continued to grow.

"It's now!"

Before Shui Ni finished speaking, Lu Zhong, just like her, used one-handed formulas and chanted spells to cast a complete star-stretching technique, and the true essence in his body seemed to be flooded, and most of them disappeared in three or two strokes.

Fortunately, this mana extraction only lasted for a while.

After half an hour, Shui Ni breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, now we only need to maintain the spell, and the meteor will fall. Taking advantage of this time, let's restore the mana first, so as to prepare for what will happen later."

Lu Zhong nodded, and took a "Zhong Ling Pill" worth three thousand spirit stones.

While maintaining the effect of the star-stretching technique, while refining the power of the Zhong Ling Pill, the mana began to slowly recover.

It will be dawn in a blink of an eye.

At this moment, a bright light caught his attention.

"It's a meteor!" Shui Ni excitedly said.

The full version of the star drawing technique is not suitable for alchemy cultivators. Normally, only True Monarch Yuanying can summon the meteor. She thought she would have to fail several times before successfully summoning the meteor.

But I don’t want to be lucky, I succeeded in one go!
In the blink of an eye, a dazzling stream of light fell.

The dark clouds that had condensed for an unknown number of years were washed away by the meteor at this moment.

"Boom!"

A column of smoke and dust shot up into the sky, mixed with bone fragments.

The storm swept across, and Lu Zhong couldn't stabilize his body at once, and was swept away several miles.

Looking towards the landing point of the meteorite, there is already a Baizhang crater there.

Layers of tomb structures can be seen in the pit, and the inside is completely destroyed. There are half-cut sarcophagi and broken magic circles ignited with spiritual flames. I don't know how many ghosts and corpses were killed by the impact of meteorites.

"Roar!"

There was a roar.

Three silver figures rushed out, they were the silver-armored corpses in the tomb.

One of them had only half of its body left.

"Heh, there are unexpected gains!" Lu Zhong couldn't help smiling when he saw it.

"Fix it first!" Shui Ni said.

Lu Zhong nodded, and immediately joined hands with her.Start a battle with three silver armored corpses.

Without the corpse-raising array and the trap in the tomb, the silver-armored corpse lost to the two teamed up and fell to the disadvantage. The silver-armored corpse, which was only in half, was blasted into pieces in two or three blows, and then Lu Zhong used purple to kill it. Youji fire burned.

Suddenly, it turned into flying ash all over the sky.

Pick one of each and continue the battle.

Lu Zhong cut away the silver armored corpse with a sword, controlled the star mirror to shoot mirror light to prevent it from approaching, and at the same time pinched out his law fingers to activate the first wood thunder seal, and the mana in his body suddenly gushed out like a flood.

Countless thunder and lightning condensed in the void, blasting towards the silver-armored corpse one after another.

"Boom!"

In the midst of thunder and lightning, the silver armored corpse screamed again and again.

In the mouth, even more meaningless silver pole words spit out.

"Spiritual intelligence is just born, and if it continues to grow, I'm afraid it will really turn into a golden armor corpse king! Fortunately, it was discovered early!" Lu Zhong stepped up to activate the thunder seal in his body.

He is only a beginner in Leifa now, so he only has this kind of attack method.

It's somewhat similar to the Lei Nuo of Taoist nun Hua Yiguan that day.

The difference is that it is much more powerful.

Even so, it is enough.

After holding on for less than a moment, the silver-armored corpse was turned into fly ash under the bombardment of lightning.

Sensing that there was not much true energy left in his body, Lu Zhong saw that Shui Ni was more than capable, so he sat up cross-legged in the air, and continued to refine the remaining medicinal power of Zhong Lingdan to restore mana to prevent accidents from happening.

Not long after, Shui Ni also solved the opponent.

Just now, when Lu Zhong used thunder to kill the silver-armored corpse, she naturally saw it, but she didn't ask. After all, every monk has a secret.

After quickly recovering their mana, the two began to enter the cemetery, killing the ghosts and corpses inside.

During the killing of the enemy, it was not without gains.

Lu Zhong found a star stone.

The star stone contains star power, and it is a rare and rare thing. A piece as big as a fingernail is refined into the star book, which can save him three years of hard work, and the power of the magic weapon has increased a lot.

"Just this star stone, this trip is not in vain!" Lu Zhong was delighted.

Not to mention, he also got the full version of the star-stretching technique.

Continue to go deep into the tomb, the road is full of ghosts and corpses of the first and second ranks, most of them are wearing tattered clothes, with the style of the ancient times, they are all the corpses of the ancient monks who were awakened because of the change of the magic circle at the Qingyangmen. It's all about fire.

Walking and killing all the way, Lu Zhong collected bone dust by the way.

After a while, there was a full bag, worth nearly ten thousand spirit stones.

Came to an underground tomb.

Due to the impact of the meteorite, the middle part had collapsed, and it just happened to press down a bronze coffin in the center. At this moment, there were continuous "dong dong" impacts inside, and something was trapped inside.

Lv Zhong released the star mirror, which shot out a series of mirror lights.

With three or two blows, the Bronze Pavilion was shot into a sieve.

A white armored corpse rolled out of it, its head had been smashed by the mirror light, and it was completely silent at this moment.

His eyes fell on the funerary objects. There were not many valuable things in them, and they were basically taken away by the monks who came in. Fortunately, Lu Zhong didn't expect to find anything, and he was not disappointed.

Keep cleaning up.

The purpose of the two people this time is to clean up the main tomb area of ​​the general's tomb to prevent the possibility of silver-armored corpses being born. As for the sub-tomb area, they will also carefully screen it to kill all ghosts and corpses that may break through to the third level. .

After it is cleaned up, this place will become the practice place for Helingzong disciples.

After half a month, it was finally cleaned up.

Lu Zhong didn't get such good things as star stones anymore, he only collected five bags of bone dust that can be used as refining materials, worth about [-] to [-] spirit stones, which is considered a small gain.

Shui Ni will be responsible for the future matters.

Lu Zhong bid farewell to her and boarded the flying boat back to Changchun.

……

In the days that followed, Lu Zhong would either practice in closed doors, refine the bottle of Golden Jade Pill he bought, continue to comprehend Jiamu Leifa in order to continue to improve his strength, or travel with Yu Feng'er.

The days can be said to be peaceful.

Cultivate into a Jindan real person, and troubles are naturally avoided.

As long as he doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, it is not difficult for the monk of Danjie to live a good life.

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

Lu Zhong walked out of the quiet room and came to the courtyard.

Looking at the maids installing lanterns on the treetops, I remembered that today is the Lantern Festival.

"Unexpectedly, time flies so fast!"

He found that his concept of time became more and more indifferent.

Especially after a long period of retreat, there is often a feeling that the year is like every other day. If it is not for Yu Feng'er who often goes out of the retreat to accompany Yu Feng'er, I am afraid that he is now the same as the Jindan real person outside, who has been accustomed to retreat for thirty or fifty years.

As soon as he was lying on the grand teacher's chair, the maid brought the spirit tea and spirit fruit.

"Master, Madam can't get away for the time being, she said she won't be back until she faints."

"Well, go down and get busy." Lu Zhong waved his hand and told the maid to step back.

While drinking tea, recall the memories in your mind.

During the period of retreat, he ordered the chamber of commerce to collect a lot of information about the western region, but what surprised him was that he didn’t get any news about the changes in the western region. Judging from the existing information, it was still as it was recorded in the classics. Generally speaking, it is a land that is chaotic but still able to survive. It is obvious that someone is confusing the public.

As for the sin repair, it seems that it does not exist.

"There is indeed a problem inside!" Lu Zhong thought deeply.

Take out the Demon Slayer Talisman.

He tried to analyze this talisman, but the progress was abnormally slow, because the whole talisman had been encrypted, unless he could get the magic-slaying talisman-making talisman book, otherwise, if he wanted to draw this talisman, he would have to rely on his current talisman-making attainments, let alone It takes seventy or eighty years.

"It seems that you have to be more careful when you go to the western region this time."

Thinking of this, Lu Zhong stretched out his hand to grab the teacup, but didn't realize that Yu Feng'er was already lying in her arms, and his outstretched hand slid directly into her arms, the feeling of which was still as delicate as ever.

"Pfft!" She laughed, raised her head and said, "Husband, what are you thinking? You are so engrossed."

"It's nothing, just some trivial matters." Lu Zhong shook his head.

"Husband, I have good news for you." Yu Feng'er said mysteriously.

Seeing her expression, Lu Zhong couldn't help being interested, and asked curiously, "What good news?"

"Hee hee, the East China Sea route has been successfully explored!" Yu Feng'er got up from him and said with her head held high.

"This is really good news!" Lu Zhong was greatly surprised. He thought it would take some time before the Chamber of Commerce could explore the East China Sea route, but he never thought that the progress would be so fast. This route was explored.

Successfully set foot in the East China Sea route, and the Chengde Chamber of Commerce will surely develop rapidly.

The income from spirit stones will definitely skyrocket because of this, but what he is looking at is not this, but the elixir that can be purchased from Zhongtu after the successful opening of the route.

Especially the elixir that is suitable for monks who form alchemy.

As long as the Chengde Chamber of Commerce can collect enough specialty spirits, they can continue to exchange these pills from afar.

"Although exporting raw materials in this way feels a bit exploited by the Middle-earth, who can make the elixir of the Middle-earth mature and produce a large amount of elixir every year? If it weren't for the need for Nanman's special spiritual products, here How can I get so many pills?" Lu Zhong thought silently in his heart.

Resources are not enough anywhere.

The Foundation Establishment Pill and Gold Jiedan in Zhongtu are also scarce.

Apart from the difficulty of obtaining skills and spells, the low-level monks in Middle-earth will not be better than the low-level monks in Nanman, and it will even be more difficult.

After all, what they have to face is a family of cultivators who are more ferocious than monsters. They firmly control all the resources of the Wannian sect, and their achievements in a lifetime are already doomed.

Think no more.

The two stayed in the courtyard all the time and did not go to the Lantern Festival in Changchun Street.

until dawn.

……

A few days later, Lu Zhong went to the western region again with the spiritual objects collected by the chamber of commerce.

Summing up the previous experience, he found that all kinds of healing pills were urgently needed in the Western Territory, so he specially ordered the Chengde Chamber of Commerce to buy them in large quantities, regardless of whether they were first-, second-, or third-tier pills, all of them would not refuse.

At this time, supporting the Heling Sect came in handy, which could well explain the purchase of pills.

After bidding farewell to Yu Feng'er, Lu Zhong soon came to Poisonous Insect Valley.

Don't forget to take a look around.

When he was not here, three waves of monks visited the Poisonous Insect Valley successively, either to pick the elixir in the valley, or to come for some rare poisonous insects. Fortunately, none of them found the teleportation array inside.

"It seems that we have to take some precautions."

After Lu Zhong prepared, he took the time to transform the Poisonous Insect Valley.

Danger alone cannot stop the monk's desire.

Only by making this place worthless can they lose interest in it.

Then start the teleportation array.

……

Westbound.

Laterite Ridge.

Lu Zhong appeared here again.

He was not in a hurry to go out, but followed the poisonous insect valley, backtracking from the scene of the gray fog space, and carefully checked the surroundings.

"Very well, no one found this place!" He was very satisfied.

Without letting go of his vigilance, he used the second skill of restraining breath and hiding, and quietly lurked out.

When I was in Nanman, the Chamber of Commerce collected a map of the western border.

So this time, Lu Zhong was finally able to avoid blind flies, and was going to go to Yeling Immortal City seven thousand miles away, which was a big city no smaller than Lingyue Immortal City.

According to the news from the Chamber of Commerce, it is owned by the Yeling Sect.

"According to Yan Zhen's confession, there is only the Zhenyang Sect and the Nascent Soul Sect left in the Great Western Territory, so the Yeling Sect, which was originally the Nascent Soul Sect, should have been destroyed for a long time at this time, and a lot of good things hidden should be able to flow out , this trip may be very rewarding."

With such expectations, he began to lurk.

Along the way, carefully avoid everyone.

It took more than a month for Lu Zhong to arrive at Yeling Immortal City smoothly.

But in front of his eyes, there is no fairy city where monks gather as expected.

The Lingtian collapsed and the city wall collapsed.

The bones piled up into mountains.

Judging from the traces left at the scene, shortly after the Yeling Immortal City was mutated in the Western Territory, there should have been a great battle. The Immortal City was completely destroyed in the war, and all the mortal monks in the city suffered catastrophe.

Lu Zhong searched around, but found no living person.

Only a few demon cultivators were found, all of them looked like ghosts or ghosts. They shuttled among the mountains of corpses, collecting the corpse aura escaping from the pile of corpses, and the newly born wandering souls.

Search souls one by one with the soul search technique.

None of Moxiu was wronged, and the things they committed cannot be described in words, but Lu Zhong didn't care about these things, they all had a place name in their memory.

"Moshi secret city."

Since the destruction of Yeling Immortal City, it has become one of the gathering places for monks in Yeling Domain.

After thinking about it, Lu Zhong decided to go to Moshimi City.

There are tens of thousands of monks gathered there, whether it is to listen to information or to sell the spiritual objects on their bodies, it is still a good place.

……

In the wild mountains.

Lu Zhong came to the back of a huge sword-shaped stone, and there was an inconspicuous small door there.

There are several passages in and out of the secret city of Moshi in the memory of several demon cultivators. This is one of them that is used by a small number of people, which just meets his requirement of hiding his whereabouts.

"Bang, bang!"

Give it a few regular taps.

"Buzz buzz!" Shimen opened a gap to the side.

Behind the door is a monk wearing a black smock, whose cultivation has been restrained to the late stage of Qi refining, and actually cultivated in the middle stage of foundation establishment. This person looked Lu Zhong up and down a few times, and his eyes fell on his left hand.

Seeing that there was no oath, the monk felt relieved and said hoarsely, "Ten spirit stones."

"Give."

After pointing out ten spirit stones, Lu Zhong entered the secret city of Moshi smoothly.

The secret city of Moshi was built underground.

The monk hollowed out the large schist with magic, creating an underground space several miles in size. The buildings in each part seem to be well-structured and not chaotic, obviously designed by monks who are good at construction.

The light source comes from a sunstone on the roof of the cave.

This is a special stone, as long as the aura is sent into the stone, it will emit light, and the color and texture are very close to sunlight.

Hence the name "Sunstone".

After entering here, he was surprised to find that the aura had become pure again. After careful observation, he discovered that there were magic circles carved everywhere in the secret city. Judging from the restraint of the formed magic circles, the main function should be There are two kinds of purification and filtration.

"Interesting, this kind of magic circle needs to be collected."

Lu Zhong walked out of the passage and soon came to the street.

Unlike the Nanman, it may be because of the troubled times. No matter how high or low the monks on the street are, they all wear masks on their faces, and basically wear robes that hide their figures. A monk who came out of vestments.

Take the time to shop around and familiarize yourself with the prices.

Things like magic tools are cheaper here than in Nanban.

What are really expensive are things such as spiritual rice, elixir, and elixir.

Due to the mutation, under the corrosive effect of scarlet aura, ordinary spiritual plants could not survive at all, and had to be cultivated under the protection of formations, which led to a sharp increase in the cost of cultivation.

The cost is reflected in the selling price, which is a ten-fold or eight-fold increase.

As a result, many monks would rather absorb the mottled spiritual energy in the spirit stone than spend a lot of money to buy spiritual things.
