Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 22

After hiding in the wilderness for a few days, the battle at Qingliuxu finally subsided.

The demon cultivator, who was originally mighty, was defeated immediately after the elder Jianji of Qingyangmen arrived, and had to leave a large number of corpses and flee in a hurry.

When Lu Zhong returned to Qingliu Ruins again, he found that the place had been beaten into ruins.

Especially in the street area where the fighting was the most intense, there was basically not a single complete building to be seen, there were ruins everywhere, and there were traces of spells everywhere, which was no less tragic than being bombarded.

There were corpses of mortals everywhere. After the Qingliu Market was eroded by the demonic energy, as long as they failed to escape immediately, they would all turn into living corpses with no senses, and then be dealt with by the disciples of Qingyangmen one by one.

Walking to his hut, it unexpectedly collapsed into ruins.

After rummaging through the pile of wooden boards for a while, all the contents inside were still there, and there was an extra trapped living corpse.

Lu Zhong guessed that there must be someone who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune, but was eventually eroded by the devil's energy.

In the end, the money was not made, and even my own life was not saved.

Draw a knife to solve it.

After checking, he accidentally found two stacks of talisman papers from this person.

"Heh, now he's become a money-giving boy!" Lu Zhong couldn't help laughing.

Together with these two talisman papers that add up to almost a knife, this time he got almost seven spirit stones in his possessions alone.

Among them, the little earth spirit ring was not counted.

"I didn't expect it to be so fast. In less than a year, I was assimilated by this world. Even when I saw a dead body, I no longer had any fear in my heart, and even thought of a body search."

Lu Zhong sighed in his heart, staring blankly at the scorching sun in the sky.

After a while, he laughed again.

"Be safe with the situation, then be safe with the situation!"

Recalling this incident, Lu Zhong realized that he had made many mistakes.

First of all, I didn’t check my state before going out, so that I didn’t notice that Yin Qi entered the body and turned into a ghost. Second, I knew that my state was not right, but I still ran to see it as stupidly as before. It was lively, and the danger that was imminent was thrown out of mind at once.

The same goes for Li Dong, and I don't know what kind of madness, after escaping from Qingliuxu, he has been foolishly following him, never thinking about the sinister heart, whether he will plot against him.

To be able to survive till now, I can only say that I am lucky.

But a person's luck cannot be good all the time. If he is not more cautious, he might be like a mummy next to him, being killed by a danger coming out of nowhere.

"Oh, I'm still too young after all!"

Lu Zhong sighed again, and decided to be more cautious in doing things in the future.

……

The battle at Qingliu Market is over, and reconstruction is on the agenda.

After Qingyangmen suffered a big loss, they finally decided to upgrade Qingliu Market to Qingliufang City.

In essence, the whole Qingyangmen had already planned this.

The location of Qingliu Ruins is very important. It is the only place to pass through from Fang City in Yanling Mountain in the north to Qingyangmen.

More importantly, once the Qingliu Market is upgraded to a square city, a protective formation can be deployed here.

The array can protect the square city. Except for the specially reserved entrance, other places will be blocked by the array. Outsiders can't invade quietly at all, avoiding the possibility of another invasion by magic cultivators.

With a large defensive formation, Qingyang Gate only needs to guard the entrance of Fangshi, and it will be very difficult for the demon cultivators to invade.

After the direction was set, the construction of Qingliufang City began soon.

Thanks to the upgrading and establishment of Qingliufang City, Lu Zhong finally got rid of that small dilapidated house and moved into a brand new small courtyard.

Compared with the small broken house full of patches before, although the place where he lives now is not much bigger, at least there are rooms and halls, and even a small talisman room can be planned.

It was his desire for the talisman making room that made him willing to spend four more spirit stones to rent the small yard.

For Lu Zhong, who has already mastered the Seven Profound Arrow Avoidance Talisman, it is not a big burden. The improvement of living conditions can make people feel better, and the success rate of customizing the Talisman may increase.

And the brick house will not leak easily, which is extremely important for the coming summer.

He clearly remembered that Qingliufang City had a lot of rain in summer, and it often happened torrential downpours.

In this way, it is extremely important to have a watertight talisman making room.

……

The second month after the end of the second magic repair invasion.

It started to rain again in the afternoon of this day, and the raindrops were as dense as a bead curtain, and a puff of water vapor filled the hall.

Lu Zhong was lazily sitting on an armchair at the moment, a small charcoal stove was placed on the coffee table that he bought not long ago, and a copper pot was steaming steaming on it, and the mountain spring water inside had been boiling for a long time.

Thinking that the distinguished guest was about to arrive, he stopped staring at the rain curtain in a daze, and took out a small oiled paper bag from the gold silk pouch on his waist.

After opening the oiled paper bag, there were six pieces of Qingbi tea leaves inside.

"Six pieces, each piece costs ten talismans, this Qingbiling tea is really expensive!"

It's just that no matter how expensive the spirit tea leaves are, he has to add them honestly, so as not to spoil the distinguished guests by not entertaining them well.

Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

A monk wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat walked quickly into the hall.

As soon as Lu Zhong saw this person, he immediately went up to him with a smile, and cupped his hands and said, "I'm really sorry to bother you, Manager Lin, I'll let you take time out of your busy schedule to come here. This is the new Qingbiling tea. Please try it." .”

Those who came in first took off their coir raincoats and hung them on the wooden frame with their bamboo hats.

Hearing Lu Zhong's words, the fat man in silk clothes patted the water drops on his body, and a smile appeared on his fat and white face: "Where is it, Master Lu Fu should not be too modest, now Your Excellency The supply of the Seven Profound Arrow Avoidance Talismans in Qingliufang is in short supply, it should be our Xingwu Pavilion who took the initiative to pay a visit."

The bridal sedan chair was carried, and the two exchanged polite greetings for a while before sitting down.

Holding up the spiritual tea in front of him, Steward Lin took the initiative to mention the purpose of his trip, and said with a smile: "How much Master Lu Fu thinks about the conditions of Xingwu Pavilion, this is already a very generous condition. According to the previous agreement, Your Excellency We Xingwu Pavilion will purchase the talismans produced by them at a premium of [-]%, and we will never break our promise!"

Hearing this, Lu Zhong was dissatisfied, but he said with a smile on his face: "The Guige treats me so favorably, so Lu will not be ignorant, so he will follow the previous conditions. From now on, he will rely on Lin to manage things."

"Hahaha, that's easy to say!" Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Steward Lin burst into a smile on his fat face.

After sending the person away, Lu Zhongcai sat on the armchair and sighed softly.

The establishment of Qingliufang City is no different from a new piece of fat, which immediately attracted a group of hungry wolves.

He didn't know about other businesses, but in the talisman making business alone, three big merchants rushed in.

They are the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce with the background of Qingyangmen, the Li's Chamber of Commerce from the nearby Jindan Xiuxian family, and the Xingwu Pavilion who just came to visit, and the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce also stands behind it.

The three chambers of commerce fought for the market, but it was Lu Zhong and other casual repair talisman masters who suffered.

In order to earn every spirit stone, the Chamber of Commerce first signed an agreement with all the talisman planters who planted the talisman grass, monopolizing the output of all talisman grass at a high price, and then threatened to cut off the supply of talisman paper to force scattered talisman masters yield.

Lu Zhong was targeted by Xingwu Pavilion and had to agree to the other party's conditions.
