Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 222 The Disappearance Incident
Ganquan Cave.

Dan room.

There is a faint fragrance of alchemy in the room, and the purple flame is burning in the hearth of the Guishui Fengchi Furnace.

Lu Zhong sat cross-legged on the futon, with five-coloured brilliance growing from his eyebrows. He watched closely the changes in the liquid medicine in the furnace. At the same time, he kept pinching out formulas with his hands and hitting them on the alchemy furnace.

"Buzz!"

The low-frequency noise sounded, but it was because the flow of the spiritual energy pipeline was too large, which caused a resonance noise.

With the influx of a large amount of spiritual energy, a stronger medicinal fragrance came out of the furnace.

After a long time, the pill furnace was shocked suddenly, and then quickly calmed down.

"receive!"

Lu Zhong played a formula, and took out a ball of emerald green spirit liquid from the alchemy furnace, exuding a very strong spiritual energy, no less than ordinary third-order elixirs.

"With Tian Luotong's assistance, my alchemy rate is getting higher and higher."

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he carefully put the freshly refined Tier [-] Creation Liquid into the jade bottle, and he did not forget to seal several layers of restrictions on the surface, so as to prevent the spiritual energy from escaping and damage the potency of the Creation Liquid.

Immediately take a Huiqi Pill, and adjust the state by the way.

After recovering, start refining the next furnace.

This cycle goes on and on until all the elixir is exhausted before stopping.

In the end, Lu ** got three bottles of Shuiqingdan, seven pills of Yuminghuamingdan, five pairs of Huoyansan, and eleven copies of third-order good fortune liquid, all of which are suitable for monks in the early stage of alchemy and can improve their cultivation. .

With such a variety of pills, he dared to take them only after he had mastered the method of forging the spirit fire.

If it were another monk, it would be true that taking it would improve his cultivation base, but the accumulated erysipelas would be enough, and it would take a long time to get rid of it, so the gain outweighs the gain.

"I've taken too many pills recently, and I can't keep up with the Calcining Spirit Fire."

Lu Zhong rubbed his chin and decided to pick up the Nong Yanjue again. It is better to plan ahead than to hold on to Buddha's feet temporarily. The third level of this tactic needs the assistance of "Calcining Spirit Fire Pill". First find out the clues of cultivation.

As for the Calcining Spirit Fire Pill, he decided to use Creation Liquid instead.

Although it is a difficult task to collect the ingredients of the Creation Liquid, it is easier to gather the [-]-year-old elixir than the thousand-year-old elixir on the alchemy.At least the former still has a chance, but Lu Zhong dare not even think about the latter.

Every time the millennium elixir appears, it will attract the attention of Zhenjun Yuanying.

Little Jie Dan got involved in this kind of thing, and he didn't know how he died.

……

at dusk.

A thunderstorm drove away the high temperature for days.

Lu Zhong changed his clothes and walked on the streets of Gangcheng District, holding freshly baked meat pies in his hands. The fillings were full of hunchback beef. It was juicy when he bit into it, and it was quite enjoyable to eat.

Sometimes he will also go to the market to experience life like this.

Or buy some novelty snacks, or go to a teahouse on the street to taste tea... This will make Lu Zhong feel more like a human being, rather than an energy creature with powerful aura.

Go to a street corner.

It can be seen that casual cultivators in twos and threes are gathering on the side of the road and chatting.

Someone glanced around and saw that there was no Changchun Valley cultivator, so he lowered his voice and said, "Have you heard? Another family has disappeared."

"Which family is it this time? It has been seven times in a month. The number of missing monks is at least tens of thousands. Could it be that there is no investigation result in Changchun Valley?" With a long sword in his hand, he said to the man.

"No, it's still the work of the demon cultivator."

"Hmph, Moxiu? You're lying to ghosts!" The big man pulling the cart couldn't help but stop and retort when he heard this.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know the inside story?" Lu Zhong was very interested in this matter. It is not a trivial matter that so many monks disappeared, so he asked the big man who was training his body.

"This, I don't know!" The big man shook his head.

He will not understand the truth that misfortune comes from the mouth.

Besides, there are already law enforcement teams on the street, if they overhear you chewing your ears here, at least you will be fined ten spirit stones.

There's no need to lose one month's wages for the sake of quick talk.

"The few over there, what are you doing together!"

A long distance away, the law enforcement team shouted at the crowd, and heard that the casual repairers at the corner of the street dispersed in a rush, and the big man pulling the cart quickly picked up the cart, turned around and disappeared into an alley.

Although Lu Zhong was not afraid of the law enforcement team, he decided that it would be better to have one less thing.

Return to Lintao Pavilion soon.

In the courtyard, Yu Feng'er was drinking an iced drink.

Although monks are not afraid of cold and heat, they just have a higher tolerance than ordinary people, not really not afraid of cold or heat, and drinking some heat-relieving drinks in hot weather is also a way to relieve the boring life.

"Husband, come and taste this poplar branch spirit dew!" Seeing Lu Zhong coming back, Yu Feng'er got up quickly and brought a large cup of milky white iced drink, exuding the fragrance of willow branches.

"Cuckoo"

Lu Zhongniu drank a cup and found that the taste was really good.

"How about it, not bad!" Yu Feng'er said with a smile.

With that said, he added another cup to his husband.

Lu Zhong took it, and this time he tasted it slowly, and found that it was very different from the ice drink he had drunk before. There were a lot of ingredients with a salty smell in it, so it needed to be covered with willow branches.

I couldn't help being curious, so I asked:
"Where is this iced drink?"

"Western Territory, I heard it's the most popular drink there nowadays." Yu Feng'er poured himself a cup too.

A trace of icy aura was drawn out, and soon there was a trace of white air overflowing from the drink in the cup. After cooling the willow branch spirit dew to a suitable temperature, she held it with two jade hands and tasted it beautifully.

"Western Territory..."

When Lu Zhong heard this word, he immediately lost interest in the drink in his hand.

For some unknown reason, the news about the Western Territory that Nanman knew was completely contrary to the real situation. It was already a purgatory on earth, but it was shaped like a fairyland on earth.

So much so that he once doubted whether what he arrived through the teleportation array was the real western region.

But through a series of classics and materials, Lu Zhong can be very sure that the other end of the Poisonous Insect Valley teleportation array is indeed to the west of Zhongtu, which is the real western realm of self-cultivation.

"Forget it, it's better not to explore too much." Lu Zhongmo thought.

Even the rogue cultivator I met just now knows the truth that too much talk will lead to failure. I am a majestic alchemist, and I can't put myself in a dangerous situation because of my strong curiosity.

Just thinking about it, Yu Feng'er said, "Husband, many people in the Chamber of Commerce have disappeared for no reason recently, and I sent people to investigate hard, but nothing came of it. Have you heard any rumors?"

Missing again?

It's not over yet.

Lu Zhong shook his head, expressing that he did not know.

Seeing this, Yu Feng'er had no choice but to suppress the matter. After all, it was only a small manpower, which was not as good as the normal death loss of the Chamber of Commerce, so she didn't take it to heart.

Turning his head again, Lu Zhong had disappeared.

……

in the quiet room.

Lu Zhong sat cross-legged on the futon.

half an hour.

Slowly opened his eyes.

"It still doesn't work, my mind has been restless!" Lu Zhong wondered secretly, he obviously had Minghua Baoyu's help, logically speaking, this should not have happened.

Is it spirituality?
There is only this explanation.

"It must be caused by a whim!" Lu Zhong confirmed.

If so, he couldn't ignore the hunch.

Stop it!
Just look it up.

When things happen, you can't just avoid them blindly, otherwise it will lead to even greater disasters.

go outside.

Yu Feng'er was still eating, and they were all pastries.

"Husband!"

"Ah."

Lu Zhong was not polite, took two pieces of rice cakes, ate them with spirit tea, and said as he ate, "I heard that monk families have been missing frequently outside recently, what do you know about it?"

Yu Fenger shook her head.

Seeing her like this, Lu Zhong knew that he was asking for nothing.

Yes, the chamber of commerce is busy.

It's good that Yu Feng'er can take a break from her busy schedule, how can she pay attention to these things.

"Husband, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Lu Zhong shook his head, not forgetting to tell him: "Don't go out of the city during this time."

"En!" Yu Feng'er nodded heavily.

Her serious appearance made Lu Zhong laugh.

……

He changed his shape on the road and came to the previous street corner.

After spending some spirit stones, I found out that a family of cultivators who disappeared recently was the Hanshuitian family located at the junction of Yanzhen domain and Changchun domain.

Go straight to Hanshui.

On the way, he did not forget to change his identity, so as not to attract possible attention.

Hiding in the woods, Lu Zhong didn't appear until a group of Eternal Spring Valley monks flew over in the sky, with a strange look on his face.

Along the way, he met several monks Changchun Valley.

Behavior is somewhat abnormal.

Rather than saying that they were searching for a suspect, it might be better to say that they were patrolling and guarding something.

"Could it be that this matter has something to do with Changchun Valley?"

Lu Zhong couldn't help but think of this.

It's not impossible, after all, it's not something ordinary forces can do to make more than ten thousand monks disappear without a trace, and Changchun Valley has this strength.

As for motivation.

He continued to move forward, and the Changchun Valley monks he encountered became more and more dense, and his realm was getting higher and higher.

"The situation is not good! No, if you meet a monk who is forming an alchemy later, turn around immediately!" Lu Zhong decided in his heart that it would be the same if he came back after a while, and there was no need to take too many risks.

Soon came to Hanshui.

Through the backtracking of the scene in the gray fog space, he learned an unbelievable and amazing fact, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while.

"how is this possible!"

"The Tian family was taken away by Zhenjun Wanmu!"

Just as he was thinking, his complexion suddenly changed.

Move over!
By a hair's breadth.

A sword light passed close to the body, cutting the body armor and sending out a piercing scream.

Immediately afterwards, several sword lights fell in succession.

Sweeping around with his consciousness, Lu Zhong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

I don't know when, three jiedans surrounded him.

In the air, Master Qingding grasped the sword formula with his hand, urged the talisman Qingding sword, and once again slashed at the figure below, without holding back half of his hand, intending to stay behind in the future.

At the same time, he was also surprised.

Just now, Wenren Hoo suddenly called the police.

This cover is imitated of the legendary Lingbao Tianji cover, which was made with a lot of materials.

After activation, it can cover a range of ten miles. As long as a monk who enters it, no matter how high his cultivation base is or how advanced his stealth skills are, it will trigger a warning from the hood.

Master Qing Ding thought it was a false report.

Unexpectedly, someone actually managed to cross the defense line and sneak into Hanshui.

Lu Zhong took a sword light forcibly, and quickly made a formula and recited the mantra.

"Meteor escape!"

Yu pulled the speed to the extreme in an instant, turned into a blood-red rainbow light and disappeared into the sky in two or three strokes, stunned the three Changchun Gu Jiedan who surrounded him.

"What kind of escape technique is this?"

"But, maybe it's the blood escape from the western region..."

"Then still chasing after?"

The leader of the real Qingding, with a pensive look, said calmly: "Forget it, let's wait for Senior Brother Qin to come over, with his divination and calculation secrets, even if this person can escape temporarily, we can calculate it here." It’s not too late to investigate and hunt down its origins later!”

After a while, a cyan rainbow light flew in the distance.

A middle-aged man with long beard appeared on the ground, and he still held a fortune teller in his hand.

"Senior brother Qin, just now..." Master Qing Ding rushed to the crowd and cupped his hands, and then told the story of Cai just now.

Qin Fang was straightforward, and immediately began to do calculations on the ground.

What he studied was the secret art, although it was only a simplified and incomplete version, but he still had the unpredictable divination ability, and he could learn what he wanted to know at a cost.

Depending on the difficulty of divination, it may consume vitality or life essence.

Suddenly, Qin Fang was shocked.

"puff!"

The next moment, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The plan in front of him exploded and turned into bamboo powder in an instant.

It took a long time to slow down, and tearingly said to Master Qingding: "Junior Brother Qingding, are you sure that it was just a pill that escaped?"

"That's right." Master Qingding said solemnly.

He believed that he was not mistaken, although the man just now had a very exquisite breath restraining technique, although he could not be sure of his exact cultivation level, he was indeed a monk of alchemy.

Qin Fang vomited blood again.

Affected by the Heaven's Secret Technique, his hair turned white in an instant, and his vitality was severely injured.

Regardless of the accumulation of erysipelas, Qin Fang took a bottle of elixir to restore vitality, and finally there was a trace of blood on his face, and he smiled wryly; "It seems that this person has a way to hide the secret."

Hearing this, Master Qing Ding was upset for a while.

The two Changchun Valley Jiedan next to them also had expressions of astonishment.

……

Thousands of miles away.

In the nameless cave.

Just now, there was a flash of starlight on Lu Zhong's body.

With the magical power of shifting stars and changing battles, he naturally knew what happened. Someone was trying to find out the secrets, either to find out his whereabouts, or to know the origin information.

Judging from the magical feedback, the opponent should have failed.

"Huh, it's okay."

Lu Zhong let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the supernatural power is effective, otherwise this time I really want to run away.

Thinking of the previous retrospective results, he couldn't help showing surprise on his face, and he still couldn't believe that the one who made the Tian family disappear was the Master Wanmu of Changchun Valley.

why?

Why did Zhenjun Wanmu want to kidnap so many monks.

"Forget it, let's get out of here first." Lu Zhong didn't think that if Changchun Valley failed to detect the secret, he would easily give up.

Even Daoist Qingding sent out baby seeds like Master Qingding, which shows how much Changchun Valley attaches great importance to it.

Eliminate traces and sneak all the way.

After tossing and tossing for more than half a year, Lu Zhong returned to Changchun Immortal City only after his body's vitality returned to normal. This was also to eliminate his possible suspicions.

It's hard not to arouse suspicion when he disappears suddenly.

The street in front of him was still calm, as prosperous and prosperous as before.

But in Lu Zhong's eyes, there was already an undercurrent surging.

"I can't stay in this place anymore!"

He decides.

move place!
