Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 267
Time came to July.

The dry tide has crossed the land of malaria and spread to the plain of miasma as scheduled.

Wherever they went, the barbarian tribes that did not move away in time were all swallowed up by the evil spirits in the dry tide. The Tiannan tribes that were once prosperous for a while, now only a few are left to survive in the southwest of the True Spirit Realm.

The appearance of the dry tide caused an uproar in Nanban, and it was regarded as a disaster unseen in millions of years.

The True Spirit Sect, which borders the Hundred Miasma Plain, is certainly the first to bear the brunt, but the Xuanyang Sect and Changchun Valley are also very nervous about it. After all, judging from the current situation, the dry tide heading straight to the True Spirit Realm is just the vanguard of the arrow. The tide will also spread to Xuanyang and Changchun.

At the same time, the other four sects are also paying close attention to this matter. Once the three sects in the south cannot hold on, the dry tide will also spread to their territory.

For a while, the atmosphere in Nanban was extremely tense.

Here, Lu Zhong devoted himself wholeheartedly to his cultivation.

He already had a hunch that it would not be long before he could break through to the late stage of alchemy.

No matter what the future holds.

The more you improve your strength, the more chances you will have to survive.

Plan ahead.

Considering the worst-case scenario, Lu Zhong ordered Bihaizong and Chengde Chamber of Commerce to increase the introduction of immigrants, so that the barren Bihai Islands could be bustling as soon as possible, and started to build resource production areas such as elixir gardens and Lingmi farms to ensure that Minimum spiritual supply.

Once the dry tide spreads, it is doomed that the output of Nanban's spiritual resources will be greatly reduced.

At that time, it is better to rely on yourself than to ask for help.

On this day, Lu Zhong was going to rest in the waterside pavilion.

As soon as he got there, he happened to see a group of monks resigning and leaving. They were all stewards of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce. He couldn't help but wonder why these people came to Chaosheng Cave.

"What's going on?" Lu Zhong sat down and asked Yu Feng'er.

"Because of the dry tide, they are afraid that disasters will lead to the extinction of the whole family, so they want the Chamber of Commerce to provide help and transfer one or two branches to Bihai, just in case."

Yu Feng'er felt a big headache about this. As the president of the chamber of commerce, she had to be sympathetic to her subordinates, so she couldn't just refuse.

But now the chamber of commerce is short-staffed, and it can't mobilize more sea-going ships.

After listening to the details, Lu Zhong stroked her head and said, "Then let's mobilize more spirit stones and try to hire one or two more fleets. It's not bad for these families to branch out, at least they will bring the urgent needs of the blue sea." talents and craftsmen, and a large population will multiply in the future.”

The sect of the world of cultivating immortals stands at the top, but it cannot lack the support of the family.

Those who have perseverance have perseverance.

In fact, the output of the most basic spiritual resources in the world of cultivating immortals, such as low-grade spiritual rice, low-year elixir, etc., as long as they are leftovers that the sect despises, they need to rely on the power of the family to fill the vacancies. Xiu played a negligible role in it.

"Husband..." Yu Feng'er was a little reluctant.

In her opinion, instead of wasting these spiritual stones to transport people, it is better to buy one or two more elixir plants so that her husband's cultivation can be improved quickly.

Strength is fundamental in the world of cultivating immortals.

It was Lu Zhonghao's bad words that made her change her mind.

It was just that Feng'er was walking towards the quiet room, he just wanted to drink tea quietly, so as to relieve his recent boredom, when the maid came to send Lu Baokui to see him.

"What is he here for?" Lu Zhong secretly wondered, and signaled the maid to bring him in.

"Disciple Lu Baokui, pay homage to the ancestor!" Lu Baokui bowed his hands.

Perhaps it was because of the madness last time that he was visibly older than before, becoming a middle-aged man with slightly frosty temples, with more wrinkles on his face, adding a lot of vicissitudes to his whole person.

After some conversation, Lu Zhong learned of his purpose.

Shipbuilding workshop.

According to Lu Baokui, a monk approached him on his own initiative, saying that if Bihaizong could provide support, a shipbuilding workshop could be established.

In the early stage, only sea ships can be built.

If the supporting refining and array workshops can keep up, they will have the ability to repair flying boats, and there is a possibility of upgrading to "flying boat workshops" in the future, which will be able to manufacture flying boats below a hundred feet.

"Flying boat..." Lu Zhong silently said the word in his heart.

If Bihaizong can have the ability to manufacture flying boats, it would be great, at least in the future, it will not be choked by people in terms of material transportation. Millions of Lingshi went to charter a ship.

However, there may also be a possibility of deception in this matter.

Don't think that there are no scams in the world of cultivating immortals. Not only do they exist here, but they are even more rampant.

According to the records in the classics, there was even a shocking deception in China where the Nascent Soul Sect was deceived, causing tens of thousands of years of foundation to be turned into running water, and the inheritance destroyed once.

True Monarch Yuanying is also not omnipotent.

As long as you are human, you must have weaknesses.

After thinking about it, Lu Zhong decided to meet that person anyway, this is an opportunity no matter what, even though this might suit the liar's wishes, you can't miss the opportunity because of choking, right?

Soon, people were brought up.

He is a middle-aged male cultivator. Although he feels a bit down and out at the early stage of foundation establishment, his hair and clothes are neatly arranged, his face is serious, and he looks like a strict self-discipline.

"Junior Qi Yun, meet Senior Lu!"

When Lu Zhong saw him salute, he shrunk his sleeves subconsciously, remembering the customs of a certain place, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Are you born in the western region? It seems that this kind of saluting habit, I remember, only exists in the western region."

"To tell you the truth, Qi Yun is indeed from the West Extreme Sword Region."

"Oh, what's the situation over there?" Lu Zhongming asked knowingly.

To this day, judging from the news received from Nanman, the western region is still a very normal place, and I don't know where those spiritual creatures that claim to be "special products of the western region" come from?
Hearing this, Qi Yun's eyes were slightly dimmed, but he quickly recovered.

"I'm sorry senior, Qi Yun has not been back to his hometown for a long time because of his delay in obtaining the pass pass of Xianlao Pass. Therefore, regarding the current situation of his hometown, the younger generation's memory is still in his childhood, and that has been more than a hundred years ago .”

More than a hundred years ago, it happened to be the time when the changes in the Western Territory began.

Seeing the change in his expression, Lu Zhong made some judgment in his heart.Stop continuing this topic with him, and said with a smile: "You claim to be capable of building an airship workshop, how can you prove it?"

"I don't know if the seniors have heard of the 'Xuanxiao Shipyard', but the junior was born in this Zhongtu Shipyard. The shipbuilding skills I have are taught by Master Wu Gong.

As for the manufacture of the flying boat, it is actually an extremely complicated matter. It is impossible to build the flying boat with the strength of the junior alone. It needs the cooperation of at least a thousand craftsmen, and the support of various craftsmen and formation masters. Not less..."

Having said that, Qi Yun hesitated for a while, then took out a jade slip from his body.

"To be honest, this junior has obtained a volume of Xuanxiao Ship Code, if senior is willing to give support, it is indeed possible for me to use this code to build a boat workshop from scratch!
If the seniors don't believe it, feel free to read this code. "

"Oh?" Lu Zhong looked at him in surprise.

He secretly pinched one to detect malice, and saw the jade slip with Tianluo Mitong, and after confirming that there was no problem, he took it to immerse his spiritual consciousness.

Judging from the content, the jade slips did record a shipbuilding technique.

There are two volumes, the first and the second, which are respectively about the manufacture of large-scale ships and flying boats of less than [-] meters. As for the missing volume, Lu Zhong guesses that it is most likely the manufacturing technology of large flying boats of more than [-] meters, or even "mountain-shaking boats".

It's not surprising that Qi Yun couldn't get it.

Focusing on the formation part, especially the cardinal part, it seems to be the same.

Generally speaking, it doesn't look like a fake classic.

Qi Yun's credibility increased a bit, but Lu Zhong didn't make a decision right away, but waved his hand to congeal a water mirror technique, which was about the magic circle.

"Have you ever seen this formation?"

Hearing this, Qi Yun raised his head and looked at the magic circle in the image, which was supposed to be the most secret secret, with an expression of astonishment on his face.

"Yunlong Misuo, senior, you are..."

"If you can call out the name, then you have a way to crack it!" Lu Zhong said in a deep voice.

"Crack?" Qi Yun smiled wryly and shook his head.

"The younger generation doesn't have this kind of ability. Yunlong Misuo is related to the preservation of the mountain, so its cracking method is only in the hands of Master Wu Gong and others, but..."

When he said this, he hesitated for a while before continuing: "This junior has a way to remove the Yunlong fan lock directly, but the price is that it will damage part of the magic circle on the ship. It may be that there is a problem with the 'floating cardinal', or it may be The Hunyuan cannon was damaged. The reason is that Yunlong Misuo was connected with all magic circles at the beginning of its design."

Lu Zhong didn't expect that he would get unexpected gains just by asking casually.

Partly damaged is partly damaged.

It was picked up for nothing anyway!
If you can really pick up a mountain-shaking boat through this, it will be a huge profit.If it can be managed to move to the Nanman later, the role it can play is even more indescribable.

Soon, Qi Yun refined a token.

Judging from his refining methods, he is indeed capable of building sea-going ships.

Seeing this, Lu Zhong no longer doubted it in his heart, but he agreed to Qi Yun's request, allowing him to find a place on the island and start building a boat workshop.

At the same time, the clansmen brought by Qi Yun were also allowed to find a spiritual island to settle down.

As for the funds for the construction workshop, Lu Baokui will contact him.

……

Back to the silent room.

Lu Zhong didn't forget that cultivation is the root.

The development of the Zongmen and the Chamber of Commerce is just a means for him to obtain resources, and the ultimate goal is to improve his cultivation.

Glancing at the jade shelf, three bottles of Shenglingmi were sent from above.

"One more bottle, it seems that the production of spiritual honey has increased slightly, and I don't know what's going on with the nest division plan. If we can separate a group of big honey worms, the production capacity of Shengling honey will no longer be limited!" Lu Zhong sat cross-legged Thinking on the futon, he took three bottles of third-order ascending spirit honey in front of him.

Take one of the bottles, pull out the wax-sealed jade plug on the bottle mouth, and immediately there is a scent of honey.

At the same time, accompanied by a surge of rich aura.

Without further hesitation, he drank it all in one gulp.

Then run the exercises to refine all the spiritual energy contained in the honey.

After the ascending spirit honey was exhausted, he began to take pills to refine Qi again. No matter what kind of pills, as long as they could improve his cultivation base and didn't have too many side effects, all of them were taken into his stomach.

After more than an hour, he had reached the limit of his skills.

"The cultivation base has improved a little, and I can clearly feel that the breakthrough to the late stage of alchemy is getting closer." Lu Zhong put away the bottles and cans on the ground with a satisfied expression on his face.

Wait for the restless true essence in the body to subside.

Only then continue to comprehend the food star method.

……

Due to dry tide.

The situation in the Southern Barbarians was changing.

After learning about the effect of the double-tailed spiral crystal, the Nascent Soul sects of the Nanban, including the True Spirit Sect, all had corresponding acquisition plans for it. There were both successes and failures, but they all obtained the double-tailed spiral crystal more or less.

On Shui Ni's side, there are already experimental results about the use of double-tailed helical crystals.

If there is a continuous supply of spiritual energy from the spiritual veins, the coverage of the double-tailed spiral barrier will be very exaggerated, especially with the fourth-order spiritual veins of the True Spirit Sect, combined with the large double-tailed spiral crystals provided by Lu Zhong, it can form A huge enchantment that affects a radius of more than ten thousand miles.

Even the one from the barbarians can protect a range of thousands of miles.

Lu Zhong didn't expect this.

But there is a good and a bad side to this.

Maintaining the double-tailed spiral barrier will inevitably consume a lot of spiritual energy, and the supply of spiritual energy for some monks will inevitably decrease. At the same time, the cost of planting things such as spiritual rice and elixir will also be higher than before.

As a result, there will be a further shortage of resources.

It is foreseeable that great changes will take place in the Nanman cultivating world in the future, and maybe all sects and families will have to rely on the double-tailed spiral enchantment to survive in the future.

Spirit veins, barriers...

In fact, not much has changed.

Cultivators still have to rely on spiritual veins to provide spiritual energy, but now there is just an extra barrier.

……

As soon as winter arrives, Bihai will be raining all day long.

The clear sky that used to be thousands of miles away disappeared and was replaced by cloudy clouds, with raindrops dripping down. From time to time, monks who practiced martial arts shuttled through the clouds, bringing out colorful trails.

On this day, Lu Zhong finished refining the accumulated flame essence with the Fire Cultivating Art.

With these essences, the power of Ziyou Extreme Fire has been slightly improved, but there is no sign of transformation for the time being, and it is expected that there is still a long way to go.

Turn around and come to the water pavilion again.

He was going to drink tea, so as to resolve the annoyance in his heart.

Today is "Jiao Man Secret Tea".

This spiritual tea can only be produced by the barbarians. It was originally a tribute to the great witch. After the tribes in Tiannan enshrined Shuini as the main one, only she can enjoy it.

After brewing, the tea has colorful aura.

The tea fragrance is slightly poisonous, just like everything in Bai Mi Yuan.

Picking up the teacup, Xiaoming took a sip.

The taste of this tea is extremely strong, it doesn't have the taste that spiritual tea should have, and it doesn't match with mellowness or anything, and it is inexplicably refreshing with the burst of strong spiritual energy.

After taking another sip, Lu Zhong realized that he actually liked this tea.

"No wonder it's a tribute from the Great Witch!"

While he was drinking, Yu Feng'er also came over.

Affected by the arrival of the dry tide, she, who was not very interested in practicing at first, has finally worked hard recently and retreated on her own without Lu Zhong's supervision. The middle stage of knot formation.

It stands to reason that this should be a good thing to celebrate, but Lu Zhong couldn't be happy at all.

"Husband, are you still worried about Master?"

"It's not all..." Lu Zhong sighed.

Calculating carefully, the dry tide should have arrived at Wangxiang Mountain three days ago, and I don't know what the situation there is now. If the dry tide really swallowed the entire Nanman, he would really have to hide in the blue sea in the future.

At that time, various resources do not know how to obtain them.

Without resources, he is estimated to be trapped to death in Jiedan.

Just as he was thinking, the maid sent a secret letter.

Lu Zhong took a look and found that it was sent by Shui Ni. Feeling uneasy, he released the restriction on the letter and began to read it word by word.

After reading the whole letter, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Aura Great Wall!"

Unexpectedly, there is such an ancient legacy.
