Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 229
Half a quarter of an hour later, Lu Zhong arrived above a valley.

This valley is located in the northwest corner of Bihai Island, less than a hundred miles away from Bihaizong.

Such a close distance is already a threat.

Looking down at the valley from a high position, the valley has become a sea of ​​worms. They are bluish-yellow in color with brown spots all over their bodies. They are about the size of a green cow, and they look like big fat worms.

He has never seen this kind of spirit insect in the classics.

Surrounding the valley, a wall more than [-] feet high has been built. At this moment, the disciples are hiding on the wall, constantly attacking the spirit insects coming towards them.

But judging from the current situation, the form is obviously not good for the monks.

Seeing this, Lu Zhongyang released Zhihong from his hand.

With the strength in the mid-stage of alchemy, it is effortless to deal with these weak individual spirit insects, which are equivalent to the first and second layers of Qi refining.

In the blink of an eye, pieces of spirit insects fell down.

And Lu Zhong's shot immediately drew cheers.

"Ancestor is mighty!"

"Ancestor is mighty!"

"..."

At the same time, several monks lifted into the air with the magic weapon.

These people are all late-stage Qi refining monks, facing the patriarch Lu Zhong at this moment, they all feel uneasy in their hearts, and said: "The disciple is not doing well, and I ask the patriarch to come down!"

They were in charge of besieging and killing the insects. Not to mention failing to complete the set task, several disciples were trapped and injured several times more. Deeply afraid of Daoist Jindan, he had no choice but to take the initiative to plead guilty.

Lu Zhong glanced at them, and said flatly: "Make up for it."

It's easy to be the master of a sect, and the method is nothing more than a stick of sweet dates.

Dirty matters are handled by the head of general affairs, as long as he, the ancestor, is responsible for winning people's hearts, although sometimes it is necessary to establish prestige, but it is obviously not necessary at the moment.

the other side.

When several people heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Lu Zhong's attention shifted to the valley, where there were still spirit insects gushing out from far away, the number of which could really be called a "spring".

"It's no wonder that the killing is endless..."

Seeing this scene, he fell suddenly.

The current situation was already beyond Bi Haizong's ability to handle it.

As a newly created sect, after He Bin, the former lord of Haiyuan Palace, left the Bihai Sect, there is not even a single foundation-establishing true cultivator in the sect. If it weren't for him, the Jindan Patriarch, he would have been killed by others. destroy.

In this case, Lu Zhong can only solve the trouble himself.

In mid-air, he blessed himself with the Breath Containment Technique and the Stealth and Tracking Technique. In the eyes of the insect swarm, his sense of existence dropped to almost nothing, and then he fell directly to the ground.

As if entering no one's land, he strode towards the crack where bugs gushed out in front of him.

Entering inside, what Lu Zhong didn't expect was that there were more spirit insects in the crack.

It was only a short distance from filling the cave several feet wide.

As a last resort, he had to dig a tunnel by himself.

While exploring the surroundings with his spiritual sense, he dug along the direction of the swarm of insects, and the number of strange spirit insects he saw along the way was no less than ten thousand.

Thinking that there are more spirit insects like this below, Lu Zhong raised his vigilance.

Once there are more ants, they can also kill elephants.

Although his cultivation base is in the middle stage of alchemy, his magic power is not endless, and his protective energy will also be worn down and destroyed, and there is a possibility of being worn to death by the swarm of insects.

Digging all the way, soon a huge insect nest appeared in front of his eyes.

The structure of the entire insect nest is very complicated. As far as Lu Zhong saw it, it was more than a thousand feet in size. It is composed of small spaces, each of which seems to have its own purpose. Part of it is suspected to be a farmland, and there are spirit insects taking care of the mushroom lawn , and carried the corpses of monsters from other places as fertilizer, and then transported the mature lawn out.

Tracing these bacterial lawns, it can be found that after being swallowed by spirit insects, it will feed back into honey-like spiritual liquid and feed it to immature larvae.

"A well-organized kingdom of spirit insects?"

Lu Zhong was taken aback by his own thoughts, but judging from the current situation, the internal structure of this strange insect swarm seemed to be the same, beyond his understanding of the spirit insects in the classics.

After thinking about it, it is actually normal for such a structure to appear.

After all, judging from the current situation, this swarm is obviously not good at fighting, and its individual strength is generally weak. It is probably because of this reason that it has formed the habit of farming by itself.

After observing carefully for a while, he knew the reason why the swarm appeared on the ground.

"Lack of food!"

Most of the space in the insect nest is the farmland used to grow the moss, which can be affected by a brown mold. These farmlands are in a state of desertion, resulting in a great reduction in food for the insect swarm.

It is for this reason that a large number of spirit insects rushed to the ground.

The conflict between humans and insects was thus born.

Lu Zhongshe brought a ball of spiritual honey, and found that it contained rich aura, but it was only a fist-sized ball, which was almost the same as the aura contained in a low-grade spirit stone.

Recalling the scene of the swarm fertilizing, he couldn't help but his eyes brightened.

"Interesting, to be able to use the mushroom moss to transform the demon aura in the monster's body, and finally produce this kind of spiritual honey that even monks can take. This is clearly a precious insect!"

Lu Zhongben was still thinking about how to deal with this swarm.

Now it seems that there is a clear need to stay.

It would be even better if it could be controlled.That means that in the future, Bihaizong will have one more resource point for producing spiritual honey, which is no less valuable than a spiritual stone mine.

Continue to explore, and soon find a giant meat worm.

Its size is exaggerated, about the same as the Baizhang Flying Boat.

At this moment, under the feeding of the meat worms, the eggs of green and yellow worms are constantly leaking out from its tail like raindrops, and then they are removed by the spirit worms who have been waiting for a long time, and brought to the hatching room to hatch.

In one breath, more than a hundred eggs were produced.

With such an exaggerated spawning speed, it's no wonder that no matter how the people above kill them, they can't kill all these spirit insects.

It is estimated that no matter how much you kill them, the big meat worms will not grow as fast.

Immediately Lu Zhong dug out a spiritual deed, he had quite a few of these things in his possession, and they were all found in the previous spoils of war. With the idea of ​​preparing for a rainy day, he prepared some in his storage bag.

Now it just works.

That big meat worm, one could tell it was the queen.

He could sense that the entire swarm was under the control of the queen, so as long as the queen was recovered, he could control the swarm that could produce spiritual honey.

The signing process of the spirit deed is very simple. The strength of the worm queen is only at the early stage of refining Qi. The soul is pitifully weak in front of the Jindan real person.

But Lu Zhong always felt that it agreed so quickly because of the conditions he said.

The conditions of including food and housing were just mentioned.

The insect queen, who was still stubbornly resisting, fell instantly.

Immediately, Lu Zhong asked the queen to order the swarm to retreat to the nest, and the latter obeyed after receiving the order, without any discount in execution.

A battle between humans and insects ended.

……

Lu Zhong returned to the ground.

First of all, to appease the disciples in the sect, those who should be given pensions, and the rewards and punishments that should be given are also not left behind.

He named the swarm "Big Honey Bugs".

Solving the mold problem in the worm nest, Lu Zhong began to test the idea in his heart, wanting to know the speed at which the worm swarm transforms the demon aura, and what level of spiritual honey the big honey worms can produce at the highest level.

In terms of fertilizer, he provided the monster inner alchemy.

Results came out after half a year.

The speed at which the big honey worms can transform the spirit energy is similar to that of a monk planting a season of spiritual rice, which is about one season. Therefore, if you want to increase the output of spiritual honey, the simplest and crudest way is to directly expand the mushroom moss spiritual field.

The more spiritual fields there are, the more spiritual honey they will produce.

In terms of the level of spiritual honey produced, according to the results of Lu Zhong's many experiments, it seems that the limitation of the mushroom lawn has nothing to do with the level of the demon pill used as fertilizer, and is more affected by the strength of the big honey worm.

If you want to get high-level spiritual honey, you must first increase the level of the swarm.

And this is obviously a long process.

Lu Zhongben was still thinking about whether the big honey worm could produce spiritual honey comparable to high-level elixir, but now it seems that it is a bit of a dream, so he had to give up the plan in his heart.

But this is a great benefit for Zongmen.

Right now, there are some Qi-refinement stage disciples in the sect. Taking this kind of spiritual honey can have the same effect as the first-order elixir, and they are not afraid of the accumulation of erysipelas.

"It seems that in the future, we will be able to recruit more Qi-refining disciples, even those with poor spirit roots and poor spirit roots qualifications. They can be recruited and arranged to take care of the big honey bugs, which is enough to earn back the cost."

"Also, the maintenance cost of the sect can also be reduced a lot. In the future, when the sect's benefits are received, this kind of spiritual honey will be used instead."

Thinking so, Lu Zhong issued a decree of Taoism and law to the head of general affairs, so that he immediately started to expand enrollment.

Stayed for another half a year.

During this period, Lu Zhong taught the Fa once a month.

The purpose is very simple, it is to let some of the disciples in the Qi refining stage break through to the foundation building stage as soon as possible, so as to stir up the main beam of the sect, so that Bihaizong can start to operate normally.

This is also the reason why Lu Zhong has not divided the inner and outer disciples.

It is really necessary.

……

A few more months passed.

The method of making Xiaozhenyang Talisman was finally completely obtained by Lu Zhong.

To this end, he has worked hard for nearly ten years.

"Finally got it!"

Compared with the second-order flying talisman, the third-order small true yang talisman looks more complicated.

Although Lu Zhong hasn't learned it yet, there is no doubt that the time and effort required to master this talisman is definitely not a small amount.

After sorting out the information, he began to comprehend the Little True Yang Talisman.

According to the talisman making book, the small true yang talisman is similar to the exorcism talisman, the amount of yang energy is an important factor in determining the power of this talisman, and this requires a secret technique of gathering yang to absorb and gather the sun's essence.

When the talisman is made, this kind of Zhiyang essence can be transferred into the talisman, so that the small true yang talisman can have amazing power.

Change to someone else.

It is a troublesome thing to collect the sun essence.

But for Lu Zhong, it is completely possible to hand it over to the disciples of Bihaizong, and let them hand it in regularly every year, which must also meet the needs of making talismans.

The only problem is to pay attention to confidentiality.

Otherwise, it would be a trouble to teach Changchun Valley to know.

As for the talisman itself, the three parts of the talisman head, talisman, and foot are all extremely complicated, and the brushwork involved is impermanent and changeable, which made Lu Zhong's scalp tingle for a while.

Fortunately, after concentrating on studying it, I can still see some clues, but it is not impossible to start.

Since then, Lu Zhong has one more arrangement every day.

Practice the Little True Yang Talisman.

……

The years are long, and it is a new year in the blink of an eye.

The hunting order is still in effect.

This battle between humans and monsters has not stopped for a while, but it has intensified. Not only the Changchun domain, but also the Yanzhen domain next door has begun to be affected by the beast tide. Similar measures to Changchun Valley.

Affected by this, the prices of some spiritual objects on the market began to rise gradually.

The Chengde Chamber of Commerce has its gains and losses, but in general, it still earns more, so the speed of accumulating good deeds of Changchun Valley is faster.

One morning.

Lu Zhong came to Wanbao Hall in Changchun Valley, preparing to exchange all the good deeds he had accumulated in the near future into pills.

The elder Jiedan who was in charge of this matter, surnamed Luo Jianshen, was one of the six late-stage alchemists in the Changchun Valley, but he looked very old, his face was covered with dark and light spots, and he was obviously hopeless to conceive a baby.

It was also for this reason that Luo Jianshen came to Wanbaodian to spend his life in peace.

Hearing Lu Zhong's request, he raised his head in surprise, and subconsciously persuaded him: "Fellow Daoist Lu, you really don't consider exchanging for secret arts? There are also many good exercises in this treasury. As a casual cultivator, you can exchange for a good one. Cultivation techniques are much better than exchanging for pills to improve one's cultivation!"

Hearing this, Lu Zhong shook his head and said, "Thank you, Daoist friend, for your kindness."

Seeing that Lu Zhong insisted on his own opinion, Luo Jianshen was just talking about it casually, so he didn't persuade him any more.

After verifying the authenticity of the token of good deeds, he picked up a jade book on the table and began to draw on it, all of which were pills suitable for the middle stage of alchemy.

After a while, the teleportation array on the table lit up.

A storage bag appears.

"Come on, but you have to check it carefully. Once you leave this door, if there are any omissions, then the responsibility is all on the fellow daoist." Luo Jianshen handed out a list, and closed his eyes to rest after speaking.

Lu Zhong quickly finished counting, and there were a total of [-] bottles in size, and the types and numbers were consistent with the list.

In terms of quality, there is no problem.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Lu Zhong bowed his hands and said goodbye.

After leaving Changchun Valley, he came to Changchun Avenue non-stop.

Participating in three consecutive auctions is to bid for the third-tier elixirs suitable for the middle stage of alchemy. Competitors come from all over the Nanman. In order to continue to improve their cultivation, the bidding process can be described as extremely fierce.

Even Lu Zhong, who is rich and powerful, was taken aback by the crazy price increase process.

Considering gains and losses, he finally only took a bottle of Quenching Pill.

The quality of this bottle of Quenzhen Pill is relatively poor, so taking it has a lot of side effects, especially the large amount of impurities contained in it, it will take a lot of effort just to get rid of it.

Lu Zhong dared to take pictures because he had the Spiritual Forging Fire, which could avoid the side effects of the Quenzhen Pill.

After getting the elixir, he rushed back to Ganquan Island as soon as possible.

After staying with Yu Feng'er for a while, after arranging and handling all the affairs, I came to the quiet room of Ganquan Cave.

Sit cross-legged.

After the breath calmed down, he took out a Quenzhen Pill and took it, and soon there was warmth in his stomach, and he began to operate his body to refine the spiritual energy in the pill.
