Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 270 Night City

after March.

Lu Zhong finally broke through!

"call!"

Slowly withdrawing his power, sensing the surging true energy in his body, a happy expression appeared on his face.

Staying in this uninhabited ghostly place in the Western Territory for a long time will inevitably make people feel depressed, and now there is finally a good thing to hedge against, otherwise I will really feel sick.

After breaking through in the mid-stage of alchemy, Lu Zhong is now a monk in the late stage of alchemy.

The distance from hitting the Nascent Soul is only one step away from the False Infant Realm.

Trying to calm down his excitement, he began to compare the changes before and after the breakthrough.

The most obvious thing is that the total amount of true energy has doubled compared to the mid-stage of alchemy. At this moment, the golden pill in Lu Zhong's belly is exuding surging mana fluctuations and not only the total amount of true energy has increased, but the purity of true energy The degree of change is actually even greater.

At this moment, when the same "Thunder Swamp" is performed, the real energy needed in the late stage of alchemy will be more than half less than that in the middle stage of alchemy, and the power of Leifa will be stronger than in the middle stage of alchemy.

This also made Lu Zhong want to understand why monks in the middle stage of alchemy are often defeated when they meet in the late stage of alchemy.

The total amount of true essence is really far from the quality!

"In terms of spiritual consciousness, it has broken through to eight hundred and fifty-seven feet, and the manipulation of magic weapons will be more refined than before, which can also bring about an improvement in combat power." Lu Zhong smiled, and couldn't help being excited again.

At the late stage of alchemy, one can also learn a secret technique.

It's called "Star Forging".

The effect is to increase the astral affinity of the astral spirit body.

Therefore, there is a prerequisite for learning this technique, that is, the physique needs to be transformed into a "star-source spirit body", so he looked very greedy, but he could only temporarily put it aside.

Waiting to confirm the changes brought about by the completion of the repair.

Lu Zhong got up and opened the door, and walked out of the quiet room.

Then along the corridor, you will soon come to the cardinal's room.

"How far is it from Ningyunfang?"

The avatar heard the words and quickly gave the answer.

"It's still half an hour away."

It is prudent to prevent possible accidents.

When the Shaking Boat was still thousands of miles away from Ningyunfang, Lu Zhong asked the avatar to stop the Shaking Boat, and then personally controlled an avatar to fly towards Ningyunfang.

With the mana shield condensed from the main body, the avatar can also perform short-term actions in the dangerous world environment outside.

Half a quarter of an hour later, a ray of light fell into the canyon.

Looking at the large area of ​​skin ulceration caused by his being corroded, Lu Zhong knew that he still underestimated the power of the scarlet aura, and thought that he should share some Ziyoujihuo with the incarnation.

Without further ado, he began to explore the ruins in front of him.

Putrefaction obscures the surface, and few intact structures can be seen.

Fortunately, the lower buildings in Fang City were not completely destroyed. Entering through a blast hole on the surface, many traces of fighting techniques can be seen. Although they are almost corroded, we can still see from them the tragic extent of the war that year.

Soon, Lu Zhong made a discovery.

At the bottom of the ruins, he saw a tunnel, which was dug out with the use of tools, leading directly to the depths of the ground. Judging from the remaining traces and the degree of erosion, monks should have come here several years ago.

This is definitely good news!

It shows that in the Western Sword Region, it is very likely that there are still monks surviving.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhong dealt with his physical injuries and returned control of his body to the avatar.I am going to let him go to the bottom to see if there are really any western monks surviving down there.

At the same time, the main body is not idle.

When he was exploring the ruins of Ningyunfang just now, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the spirit veins here have not yet completely collapsed. If a spiritual energy transmission line can be laid out, maybe the spiritual energy inside can be mobilized to transport the spirit energy to the mountain boat that consumes spirit stones all the time. Aura.

Otherwise, he really couldn't hold on.

Right now, there are very few spirit stones on Lu Zhong's body, which are only enough for the return trip.

Get started.

The ruins of Ningyunfang are located in the rift valley. He dug a huge berth on the cliff, and then parked the mountain-shaking boat in it. , the consumption of spirit stones will be much lower than that of staying outside all the time.

Then, start laying out the spiritual power transmission line.

Considering the erosion of the scarlet aura, Lu Zhong deliberately made multiple layers of protection.

After a lot of work, it was already three months later.

After confirming that it was correct, Lu Zhong issued a formula to the spirit-gathering array. Accompanied by a low "buzzing" sound, the aura of the spiritual veins deep underground was attracted, and the transmission line emitted bursts of aura. The aura was purified by the spirit-gathering array. It was transported into the rocking boat.

The effect is ideal.

The amount of spirit veins and spiritual energy exceeded his previous estimate, not only meeting the needs of the protective cover of the mountain-shaking boat, but even having a lot of leeway.

At this moment, in the Shaking Mountain Boat, the concentration of spiritual energy gradually increased.

"Soaked" in the high spirit environment, Lu Zhong's mood also improved a bit.

On the other side of the avatar, the pathfinding operation went very smoothly. The end of the tunnel is connected to an underground space, where there are many forks, either converging or splitting, extending in all directions. It seems that there is an underground world. is a random choice.

After being attacked by underground creatures several times, he found a tomb that had just been erected.

A subsequent search centered on this tomb and found a group of buildings that had been destroyed.

Judging from the layout, combined with the large number of underground monster bone pits around, it should be a resource collection camp, but it was later destroyed by Zhenyangzong.

This is not a guess made by Lu Zhong out of thin air. There is still the emblem and flag of Zhenyangzong left at the scene.

One after another, more camps were found.

Lu Zhong discovered a hidden message, that is, as he went deeper into the underground world, there were fewer and fewer traces of the camp being destroyed, and more often it seemed to be abandoned voluntarily. Considering the poor resources of the underground world, this approach is not impossible.

Inferring from this information, he became more and more sure that there were monks surviving below.

So let the avatar continue to explore.

……

The underground world is far more magnificent than Lu Zhong imagined.

There are not only the colorful world of luminous moss, but also the vast underground lava sea like a river flowing eastward, and even a forest composed of mushrooms and ferns, but everything that can be eaten and used in the forest can be seen in the next life of the incarnation Just like the underground world in China, it was collected by monks from the west who migrated past.

From this point, it can be seen that the monks in the western border did not have enough supplies when they migrated.

Even, it may be in a state of shortage.

Going deeper into the ground, roughly calculated to be more than [-] feet deep, but the expected increase in air pressure did not appear, which made Lu Zhong more sure of one thing, that is, the entire world of cultivating immortals, there is a high probability that it may really be a plane, Rather than a planet that is too big to be imagined.

Tracking the traces of migration, the avatar continued to go deep underground.

Passing through a world of quicksand, the avatar finally made contact with the monk.

To be precise, it was ambushed.

There is no way, the avatar is just an avatar after all, not a copy of Lu Zhong, without the Tianluo Secret Pupil Technique of the main body, it is normal to fall into a trap.

The ambushers were four monks, two men and two women. Their cultivation bases were different in the middle and late stages of Qi refining. They looked similar to the ground monks in appearance. They were wearing shoddy cassocks, and the instruments they used could be seen to be severely worn. They were placed on the surface It is estimated that no monk dares to use it.

Seeing that the four of them had no intention of killing, Lu Zhong simply let the avatar be captured without a fight, and then he said the words he had prepared, and no one responded without accident.

On the other hand, the four of them also felt a headache for a while because of the extremely cooperative attitude of the avatars.

If the cultivator suspected of being an agent of Zhenyang chooses to resist, they can kill him directly, but now he surrenders obediently, which makes things difficult all of a sudden.

A black-faced female cultivator turned her head, looked at the horse-faced cultivator who was the leader among the four, and said via voice transmission: "Fellow Daoist Yu, how should we deal with this person? In my opinion, it is better to kill him directly. After all, this person looks like he came from the surface." , the smell of corruption on his body can be said to be stinky!"

"I don't think so." Someone raised an objection.

It was a one-eyed old man. He looked at his three teammates and said with a sneer:

"Agent Zhenyang, this rumor has been spread for so many years, but in the past so long, which world in the alliance has really caught the so-called secret agent? I think it's better to keep this person first, maybe we can start from him. Aware of changes in the external environment.”

"Old Zeng, it's been so long, you still want to return to the ground?" the black-faced nun asked.

The old man glanced at her and said lightly: "What is hometown? Baby, you still don't understand."

"Okay, okay, I think what Mr. Zeng said has some truth, so let's take it to the outpost." Seeing this, the horse-faced monk interrupted the conversation between the two, lest it escalate into a big fight.

"Go back and report to the league, I believe the people in the city will make a decision."

"Hmph, count on those corpses in the city who are vegetarians?" The old man sneered again when he heard this.But no matter what thoughts he held in his heart, he still obeyed the order of the horse-faced monk and tied the avatar with a spirit rope.

Afterwards, the body was searched, and the contents of the storage bag surprised the four of them, especially the old Zeng, when he saw the Lingmi animal meat inside, tears came out of the corners of his eyes.

Not surprisingly, everything was divided among them.

The avatar was taken hundreds of miles away to a small world of rocks.

There is a small stone castle in the cave, which is obviously the outpost mentioned by the four people. There is a luminous stone hanging on the top of the cave. It is not the moonstone commonly used on the surface, but some unknown mineral.

Lu Zhong, who took over the avatar, still noticed at this moment.

In the open space around the outpost, more than a hundred acres of fields have been opened up, with various mushrooms and ferns of unknown function being planted on it, and several mortals are taking care of the fields.

Seeing a person brought back by the patrol, several people cast curious glances.

"Third Grandfather, who is this?" One of the young people couldn't help asking.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" The horse-faced monk reprimanded with a serious face.

The young man laughed, and he didn't show much fear. He knew that his third grandfather had always had a sharp mouth and a bean curd heart, and the purpose of the reprimand was also for his own good.

The wise man didn't ask any more questions, instead he pointed to a field behind him, and said proudly: "Look, Third Grandfather, I managed to sprout the grain seeds, and maybe I can really grow spiritual rice in the future!"

Hearing this, the horse-faced monk did not speak.

The cultivation of spiritual rice is harsh, and it especially needs spiritual irrigation.

Right now, the cave where the outpost is located does not have spiritual veins to provide spiritual energy, so that the spiritual energy is so thin that it is almost non-existent.In such an environment, even if the grain seeds really germinated, they would not be able to successfully produce spiritual rice in the end, and the result was just planting some grass.

But he didn't break it.

After all, it's always good to have hope.

To deliver the news, the black-faced nun released a bat, which quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Half an hour later, a distant light appeared in the distance.

"The establishment of the foundation is here? It seems that this incarnation doesn't have to give up for the time being. If it is going to be executed, it doesn't have to be so troublesome?" Lu Zhongmo thought.

Soon, the light escaped to the ground.

The one who came was a rich female nun, with traces of gouache and rouge on her face, wearing a well-made cassock, her complexion was quite ruddy, without the withered yellow color on the faces of everyone in the outpost.

Obviously, no matter where.

High-level monks can always live a nourishing life.

After looking at Lu Zhong, the rich female cultivator had seen the storage bag handed over by the horse-faced cultivator, and she had no doubts about the origin of the person in front of her.

"Okay, hurry up and untie this fellow daoist, and then apologize."

Seeing the four of them hesitated, she immediately turned pale, let out a breath of true cultivation of the foundation, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why, you don't listen to what I said?"

"Yes." Cultivator Horse Face gave Elder Zeng a wink, and the latter immediately untied Lu Zhong.

However, the four of them pretended that they didn't hear the apology that the rich female cultivator said.

Regarding this, although the female cultivator was very angry in her heart, she held back her anger and said to Lu Zhong: "You have made fellow Taoist suffer, Master Yongming has set up a banquet in the city of the night, and I hope you will come with me .”

"Yes, I don't know how to call you friends?"

"Li Dong." Lu Zhong picked up a random name, and didn't change his face when he heard the foundation building breath released by the female cultivator.

Seeing this scene, the rich female cultivator couldn't help feeling strange, and secretly used the Dao Wang Qi Technique, only to find that the cultivation of the person in front of her was indeed at the middle stage of Qi refining.

No more guesswork.

After all, her immediate boss, Daoist Yongming, is still waiting in the Night City.

Taking Lu Zhong along, they drove like lightning all the way.

There are many small worlds along the way, many of which have been developed, or dug out canals, opened up large tracts of fertile fields, or established workshops to produce everything needed for daily life.

The population of mortals is not small, and there are tens of thousands of people just seen along the way.

Taking a peek at the leopard, Lu Zhong guessed that the total population of the Night City would most likely not be less than a million. In fact, only such a huge population base could afford to support a Jindan Daoist.

Soon, Night City appeared before his eyes.

It is a fortress located in the Mushroom Forest World. The walls are covered with various weapons of war. There are even Hunyuan cannons protruding from the tower behind it. In terms of force, it may not be inferior to a mountain-shaking boat.

Before the fortress, the population is denser.

The houses are like houses, the open fertile fields are criss-crossed, the central street is full of people, and there are a large number of shops on both sides of the street. From Lu Zhong's point of view, it is not much different from the surface market.

Then landed into the city.

Night City looked loose on the outside, but actually used a strategy of loose outside and tight inside.

It can be described as five steps and one post, and ten steps and one post.

Lu Zhong could clearly feel that there were a lot of eyes on him, both in the open and in the dark, and if he dared to make any changes, it would probably be a devastating blow immediately.

Exaggerated speculation, it is not impossible to suffer a Hunyuan cannon.
