Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 240 Jade in the Bone

In the following days, Lu Zhong devoted his energy to Yumai Gong.

Tempering the pulse from once a month at the beginning has gradually increased to once every ten days. With the input of a large amount of spiritual stones, the progress of the technique has naturally increased, and the meridians are becoming jade at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Thanks to this, the speed of cultivation has increased significantly.

Although he hadn't recovered to the time when he had just formed the alchemy, he was already very satisfied.

To Lu Zhong's surprise, the strengthening of the meridians throughout the body is actually helpful for practicing the Manzu Swallowing Heaven Art, and can reduce the danger when punching the acupoints.

Intuitively reflected in numerical values, it increases the success rate by about [-]%.

When the hazy sky clears up again, it will be a new year of winter and spring.

Bihaizong has added another Foundation Establishment.

The new foundation building is an inner disciple named "Lu Baokui".

Having learned from the past, Lu Zhong specially went to investigate.

This person's roots are Miaohong, and he doesn't have a "grandpa" like Chu Dayun. It is entirely by his own efforts that he stands out from the crowd of disciples and succeeds in building a foundation at the age of fifty-nine.

At the foundation ceremony, Lu Zhong received Lu Baokui.

Lu Baokui's appearance was ordinary, and his figure was nothing special. Even with a new cassock, he still looked like an old farmer, but his calm demeanor surpassed those around him.

"Disciple Lu Baokui has met the ancestor!" Lu Baokui bowed and saluted.

At this moment, he was quite nervous. He had to know that the person sitting on the seat was the Patriarch of Jindan, and even if he had just advanced to the Foundation Establishment, he couldn't hold a candle to him, and the gap in strength was even more unimaginable.

Looking at the uneasy Lu Baokui, Lu Zhong looked calm on the surface, but he was thinking in his heart, is he so scary?Really think about it.

He lives in seclusion on weekdays and rarely shows up in front of his disciples. It can be said that he sees his head but never ends.

Under such circumstances, the only way for disciples to understand their ancestors is to look at the classics in the sect.

No need to look, Lu Zhong also knows what is recorded in it.

It is nothing more than massacres, from the beheading of Bidao Sanren at the beginning of its establishment, to the undefeated fighting alone in the later stage, thus establishing an image of a ruthless and powerful ancestor.

This kind of image is good, and it can accumulate majesty the fastest.

The shortcoming, just like it is now, makes the people below feel fear in their hearts.

There are gains and losses, and Lu Zhong doesn't care about this disadvantage.

After handing Lu Baokui a storage bag, he smiled and said, "There is a copy of "Shuiyun Jinxianggong" inside, plus a top-grade magic weapon, the Shui Luochu, which is my gift to you."

The magic weapon is nothing, but the mental method is the key point.

Shuiyun Jinxiang Kung Fu is an advanced kung fu method that can be cultivated to the early stage of alchemy. It is much higher than the "Shui Chan Jue" that Lu Baokui practiced before, and it is more in line with his three spiritual roots of water, metal and earth.

Sure enough, when Lu Baokui heard it, he immediately fell to the ground.

"The great kindness of the ancestor, the disciple will never forget it!"

When Lu Zhong heard this, he didn't take it to heart. He lifted him up with a light hand and cast a spell, and said in a gentle tone: "Since you are already the foundation, you will be in charge of the general affairs of the sect. .”

With the matter of Chu Dayun in mind, he decided to abolish the position of suzerain with high authority, disperse the power of suzerain, and instead set up more elder positions, such as elders of Chuangong, elders of Xingdian, etc., and deacons will be set up below. Position.

In this way, there will be infighting due to the dispersion of rights.

But it's better than joining forces to deal with his ancestor.

"Yes, Lu dare not obey!"

Lu Baokui had an expression of wishing he could die.

"Practice more in the future, don't let me down, go out first." Lu Zhong waved his hand and said, the ceremony stage outside belongs to Lu Baokui, this is the highlight moment in life.

As an old man, it's not easy for him to go out and stir up trouble.

Not long after Lu Baokui withdrew.

"Hula! Hula!"

Cheers poured into the Bihai Palace like a tide.

Today's Bihaizong is no longer what it was when it was first established.

There are currently more than ten thousand internal and external disciples in the sect, and there are thirty-one qi refining families derived from the disciples in the sect, and the total population of mortals under their control has reached tens of millions, and this number is still increasing rapidly, until the Bihai Island Group The momentum will slow down only when it is completely filled and the population spreads over every inch of land that contains aura.

Next, as long as the number of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators increases, the Bihai Sect will become a real Jindan Sect.

And what Lu Zhong can get in return is a huge amount of spiritual stone income every year, plus various rare elixir that his disciples handed over to the Zongmen's treasure house, these are the benefits of running the Zongmen.

Thinking of this, he, who is in urgent need of elixir, decided to increase the number of meritorious deeds obtained by handing in the elixir, and lower the number of meritorious deeds required for exchanging merits and spells, in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of his disciples.

"There is also the development of Mingyuanzhou, which needs to be accelerated..." Lu Zhong remembered this matter.

The acquisition of the teleportation array is no less important than the collection of elixir.

He never wanted to experience the experience of being blocked.So he drew up a Taoist decree, called the disciples who were guarding the gate, and asked them to hand it over to Lu Baokui after the ceremony.

The content is simple:
One is to increase material support to the Chengde Chamber of Commerce;
The second is to increase the rewards for the task of Mingyuanzhou in the door, so as to mobilize the enthusiasm of the disciples.

……

Half a month later, an unnamed deserted island.

Lu Zhong chanted the mantra and raised his hand to hit "Thunder Marsh".

The thunder swamp covered the deserted island and hills, with a radius of hundreds of feet, and there was a swarm of poisonous insects. Countless thunder and lightning emerged from the void, and began to bombard the swarm indiscriminately.

After a while, there were not many poisonous insects left.

"Long live the ancestors!"

"As expected of the ancestor!"

The disciples behind him burst into cheers.

Afterwards, under the command of the deacons, the disciples formed an formation and marched hand in hand, and began to attack the worm nest, as usual, to clean up the unstable factors in the site.

There is a miniature first-order spiritual vein on the deserted island. After the poisonous insect swarm on the island is cleaned up, it will be rented out on the yellow list for those monks who want to establish a family.

This rent-releasing behavior is an important source of income for the Zongmen.

Affected by the recent turmoil in Nanban, the number of monks who intend to settle in the Bihai Islands has recently increased day by day.

As a result, the supply of spiritual land began to be in short supply.

Even Lu Zhong had to come out to help.

It depends on the war.

By sunset and dusk, the swarm of poisonous insects had been wiped out.

All insect corpses will be collected and used as fertilizer for the big honey worms to cultivate the mushroom lawn, and then after a series of transformation processes, they will finally become Shengling honey that can improve their cultivation.

……

Time passes day by day.

In a blink of an eye, it's time for the Lantern Festival.

Bihaizong held a grand celebration for this, and Lu Zhong just showed his head at the celebration, and then returned to Chaosheng Cave to accompany Yu Fenger to watch the moon on the top of Bihai Peak.

The moonlight was like water, lightly splashing on the two of them.

Compared with the lively scene of the sea of ​​lights below the mountain, although the top of Bihai Peak was also decorated with lanterns, it seemed a bit deserted because there were only two people here.

However, Lu Zhong and Yu Feng'er liked this kind of environment quite a lot.

The two hugged each other and stayed quietly without speaking, enjoying this rare holiday time.

Quiet and relaxed.

until dawn.

……

a new day.

Lu Zhong used the carefully prepared spiritual food, but he didn't go to the retreat room as usual, but after saying goodbye to Yu Feng'er, he turned into a rainbow and flew towards Changchun Immortal City.

Stay for half a month.

Participate in multiple auctions in a row.

Relying on his wealth and strength, he bought seven bottles of pills and one ingot of iron essence.

During the period, it is to participate in the size of the exchange meeting.

In exchange for Shengling honey, he bought several elixir plants of high and low age, some elixir for improving cultivation, and various bulk materials, all of which he needs now.

After the goal was achieved, Lu Zhong was ready to return.

Just when he reached the gate of the city, a voice came from his ear.

"At the beginning of Tang Chengchu, I met this fellow Taoist..."

Lu Zhongxun looked at the reputation, and found that it was a middle-aged monk with an unfamiliar appearance, with three strands of green beard and a Confucian demeanor, exuding the atmosphere of the early stage of alchemy.

Tang Chengchu?
It seems that I have never heard this name.

Ignore it immediately and continue to walk out of the city.

At first glance, Tang Chengchu seemed to be doing the right thing.

You can't get involved with him.

"Fellow Daoist, please stay!"

Lu Zhongben was still hesitating whether to pay attention to him, but when he heard this, he quickened his pace, walked out of the city gate three times in two steps, turned into a rainbow and flew away.

Unexpectedly, the latter caught up closely.

"Fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist, please stay!"

Good guy!
Lu Zhong's heart shuddered.

Where did he dare to pay attention to this person, he immediately sped up his escape speed, relying on the advantage of his cultivation base, he threw Tang Chengchu out of sight in two or three strokes.

Tang Chengchu was dumbfounded as he watched the trail of spiritual energy slowly disappearing.

This is different from the plan.

Thinking of the purpose of this trip, I can't delay it any longer.

He had no choice but to speed up and fly in the direction of Bihaizong.

……

In the Bihai Palace, the host and guest are seated.

"Gudongdong..."

The maids performed their respective duties, and after they brewed the spirit tea and served fruit and snacks, they all bowed and exited the hall.

"Sorry, it's Lu who misunderstood the meaning of Fellow Daoist."

Lu Zhong cupped his hands and said to Tang Chengchu.

That's what he said, but his opinion of this person in his heart has not changed.Tang Chengchu, who followed Bihaizong all the way, is really a master of business, which brought him a dilemma.

"Jade in the bone!" Lu Zhong was very entangled in his heart.

This item belongs to the rare treasures of heaven and earth and has extraordinary effects, which can just solve the aptitude problem he is facing right now.

As long as you take it during cultivation, you can temporarily increase the refining speed of spiritual energy, which is equivalent to improving your cultivation qualifications in disguise, so as to achieve the effect of quickly improving your cultivation.

Such a spiritual thing is really mouth-watering!
This is why Lu Zhong hesitated.

"Fellow Taoist, tell the truth, how true is this?" Lu Zhong shifted his gaze to Tang Chengchu. According to the information the other party said earlier, there is only a third-order sea beast guarding the place where the jade in the bone is.

What about a liar?
It's just a Tier [-] sea beast, and it can't be defeated by a monk's means, so why can't it try to steal... Take it away?
Tang Chengchu's eyes flickered for a while, but the expression on his face remained unchanged. He smiled and said, "Everything Tang said just now is true, but the third-order sea beast that guards the treasure is indeed a bit difficult to deal with."

"what exactly is it?"

"Shuijiao, if I'm not mistaken, it's the one that Fellow Daoist met last time."

"..."

Hearing this, Lu Zhong's face suddenly turned cold, and he directly served tea to see off the guests, "Fellow Taoist, walk slowly, I'm busy with business, so I won't send you away..."

Are you kidding me?
That's a flood dragon!

Only by fighting against it in person can we know the horror of the water flood dragon.

It wasn't that Lu Zhong looked down on Tang Chengchu, but because of the latter's cultivation in the early stage of alchemy, once he encountered the water dragon, he would definitely have no power to fight back, and he was probably just a food delivery person.

Outside Bihaizong.

Tang Chengchu miscalculated.

He didn't expect that Lu Zhong would be so cautious, even if he threw out the bone jade, he couldn't make it move, instead he leaked the news about the treasure.

"That's right, he is not only the master of the sect, but also the controller of the chamber of commerce, with a beautiful woman as his companion."

"If it were me, I would be very careful."

Looking at the Bihai Peak in the distance, Tang Chengchu's complexion was cloudy for a while, but he was secretly thinking: "The established plan failed, it seems that we can only choose the next target..."

His original plan was to use Lu Zhong to achieve his own goal of obtaining treasure.

What he relies on is a bottle of "Dragon Yin Fragrance", which is a kind of secret medicine, which is so attractive to Jiaolong that it is enough to make the water Jiao chase after Lu Zhong closely.

When the water dragon is lured away, he will be able to get the jade in his hand.

But who would have expected that the first step of the plan would fail.

Tang Chengchu paced around for a while, and then turned into a rainbow and left.

After a while, Lu Zhong came out from the shadows.

Although it is impossible to know what Tang Chengchu is thinking, but judging from the change of this person's expression in retrospect of the scene, I am afraid that there is trouble in his belly.

"Water flood dragon."

Maybe he should go check it out.

It’s different in the past.

Today's Lu Zhong has mastered the thunder gun.

He believed that if he faced the water dragon again, he would at least be able to fight [-]-[-].

"If the praying mantis catches the cicada..."

When Lu Zhong thought of this, his eyes lit up.

The corner of the mouth couldn't help grinning.

……

Ming Wuhai.

It is [-] miles away from Changchun Xiangang, and it is close to the vast "boundless sea". This sea area is named after the perennial fog and the sound of "woo-woo".

On this day, three rainbow lights flew over.

The leader is Tang Chengchu.

The other two were a man and a woman, both of whom were in the mid-stage of alchemy.

The woman was wearing a red dress, and there was a faint worry in her eyebrows and eyes. If Lu Zhong was here, she would definitely recognize that this woman was Fang Hongshang from the Fang family of Bu Hongshan.

The male cultivator is a burly giant, and it can be seen that he is a Xuanxiu who refines his body.

Impatient expression appeared on his face at this moment, and he urged: "Young Daoist Tang, when will you arrive at the place you mentioned? This bastard has been flying on the sea for half a month. If you continue to fly, it will be really difficult." We have reached the boundless sea! There is no sea boat to protect that ghostly place, and within a day we will all have fish stomachs!"

The giant man was cursing and kept saying this, looking like a chatterbox.

"Friend Zhong Daoyou, look ahead, that's the destination of our trip!" Tang Chengchu said without showing any anger on his face when he heard the giant man's words, but pointed to a foggy island in front of him.

"The island of fog!" Fang Hongshang recognized the origin of the island, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Jade in the bone, will it really be in this kind of place?"

According to the records of the Fang family, the source of fog in the Wuming Sea comes from these Wuming Islands.Although there is an "island" in the name, she knows that it is not an island.

It's a gigantic sea beast.

The name is called "Mirage".
