Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 342
One year later.

In the quiet room of Chaosheng Cave.

Lu Zhong stared forward, looking at a cyan jade slip, groaning silently.

During this period of time, apart from meditating and refining Qi every day, and continuing to improve the Broken Star Finger, he devoted all his energy to collecting pill formulas to increase his cultivation.

Compared with the early stage of Nascent Soul, Danfang suitable for the middle stage of Nascent Soul has suddenly become scarce.

It is not that Lu Zhong does not have such pills.After obtaining the inheritance of the Changchun Valley, there are three kinds of pills that are suitable for the mid-stage cultivation of the Nascent Soul.

The jade slip he was holding at this time was the prescription of "Huangji Tianchen Pill".

"If you want to refine this elixir, you need a lot of Huang Jiyu..." Thinking of this, Lu Zhong couldn't help frowning.

But it is because this elixir is born naturally, and there is no seed for cultivation, so now he has nothing but the elixir, but he can't refine the elixir.

In such a situation, Lu Zhong actually expected such a day.

With the improvement of cultivation base, the elixir used must become more and more precious, especially in the Nascent Soul stage, there are very few elixir available.After millions of years, after one kind of elixir became extinct, the alternatives for elixirs became less and less.

When he was in the early Yuanying period, Lu Zhong had encountered similar problems.

It's just that at that time, he avoided this problem by choosing a pill that didn't require heaven and earth elixir.I never thought that now it has become an obstacle to continue to improve my cultivation.

"It is estimated that the pills I can find are basically inseparable from the demand for heaven and earth elixir, and those pills that do not require heaven and earth elixir may exist, but they are definitely the secrets of the big forces, and they are only in the hands of immortals. Otherwise, it will be impossible to explain why Xianzong can achieve the transformation of gods in a stable way."

It is almost impossible for Lu Zhong to obtain this kind of elixir.

Now he has three choices:

One is to start traveling around the world like a traditional monk, or to explore ancient and dangerous places, or to go deep into exotic places, to seek breakthroughs in life and death fights again and again, or to use this to obtain natural materials and earthly treasures, so as to Get an opportunity to improve your cultivation.

This approach is equivalent to trying luck.After one million years of development in Immortal Dao, the success rate has become very slim, but it is not without chance.

The second is to accelerate the research of spiritual energy transformation technology.

The current "Secret Formation of Good Fortune" can only transform demon pills into heaven and earth spiritual energy, because of the problem of conversion rate and efficiency, it is still unable to apply it to alchemy; To solve the problem of the lack of elixir in high years, it is still impossible to transform the aura of medicine at will.

Unless there is a major breakthrough in the western border...

But technical research, does it mean that breakthroughs can be breakthroughs?

The reality is often that when a large amount of resources are invested in it, it seems like a waste of water, and only one sound can be heard.

As for the last option, it is to continue to look for a suitable formula.

In this regard, Lu Zhong did not report much hope.

After thinking about it, he thought to himself that the resources were sufficient, so he decided to flood it with water.

On the one hand, continue to increase investment in the western region to assist them in solving external disasters, so as to achieve an early breakthrough in spiritual energy transformation technology.At the same time, I hope to be lucky to see if I can get a suitable elixir, or if I am lucky enough to get the elixir of heaven and earth, so as to refine the elixir.

Before that, you can only continue to take the original pill.

Although this kind of cultivation speed is slow, it is not as good as taking suitable pills, but compared to those Nascent Soul monks who have no pills available and their cultivation stagnates, they are more than a little bit better.

……

At this moment, Lu Zhong frowned.

He got up and walked out of the quiet room, and came outside the cave.

Moving to the Bihai Palace, I saw a silver-haired old man waiting in the palace.This person stood there, as if he was in harmony with the surrounding environment, as if he should be there.

Lu Zhong immediately understood the identity of the visitor.

"It's Huashen!"

Surprised in his heart, he resisted the thought of backing away. While his face remained unchanged, he was also thinking about the reason why the other party suddenly appeared.

The only good news so far is that this Huashen is not Kunxiu.

"It's not Gui Miao who turned into a god, then his origin is..."

Daomen Huashen can also be excluded.

Lu Zhong didn't think that he, who had successfully survived the catastrophe, would choose not to step into the gate of ascension, and go to the spiritual world that hundreds of millions of monks dream about.

"It seems that only the Northern Sect and the Eastern Sect can transform into gods."

Since the other party chose to show up instead of using force, his attitude was very kind. Obviously, he probably wanted something else, maybe he wanted to make a deal.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhong calmed down.

On the opposite side, the silver-haired Huashen saw the change in Lu Zhong's expression, and was afraid that he had guessed his thoughts completely.At this time, with a slight smile, he leisurely said to Lu Zhong:

"Little friend Lu, do you know who this old man is?"

"Senior, please make it clear!" Lu Zhong didn't know, so he had to bow his hands respectfully.

"Unexpectedly, after thousands of years of retreat, people in the world can no longer recognize the identity of this old man... Forget it, this old man is the current headmaster of Tianyuan Tiangong, Cang Mingzi." The silver-haired old man murmured to himself for a while, reporting his identity, and then said: "I came to find Lu Xiaoyou today, but I wanted to make a deal with you."

As Cang Mingzi said, he handed out a jade slip.

"What is recorded in it is an unnamed spiritual liquid formula. Although it is a fourth-order spiritual liquid, I think there should be no problem if Lu Xiaoyou wants to refine it. I don't know this, but am I right?"

"...Let this junior take a look." Lu Zhong looked at the jade slips and found that there was indeed a nameless spiritual liquid recorded. With enough time, it should be no problem to practice it."

"Okay, since you promised to help, then the old man can't help but express it." Cang Mingzi chuckled.

Immediately afterwards, he flipped his hand and took out a deed.

Without looking at it, he handed it to Lu Zhong.

"This is a guarantee document. It was drawn up by the old man and Luoying, and it is supervised by the Dao of Heaven. Within a thousand years, as long as Lu Xiaoyou does not annex the four sects of Nanman Huayiguan, Yanzhenzong, Tiandaozong, and Xuanyangzong, then It can be guaranteed to be safe and worry-free. If Gui Miaozong violates the contract and makes a move during this period, I, Tianyuan Immortal Palace, will be responsible for stopping it."

After a pause, Cang Mingzi added: "Of course, it's only to stop Fellow Daoist Luoying. As for Daoist Yuan Ying breaking the contract, I still need to find a way."

Guarantee documents?

He didn't expect that there would be such a thing.

Lu Zhong couldn't help thinking to himself, maybe this is Cang Mingzi's real intention of coming here, he should be entrusted by Gui Miao Xianzong to come to Nanman specially.

But then again.

Gui Miao's doing so would be disrespectful to the Immortal Sect?
Unless... is absolutely necessary.

Lu Zhong quickly thought of the possible reason why Gui Miao Xianzong took the initiative to throw an olive branch.I'm afraid it wasn't the soul-loss disease that caused the chaos in Middle-earth, but there have been new changes.

Only in this way can it be explained.

"To sign, or not to sign?"

Lu Zhong quickly made a decision.

For now, what he needs most is stable development.

As for the annexation of Hua Yiguan and other four sects, Lu Zhong has always been lacking in interest in this. Even if they are really annexed, it will not make much sense to obtain massive resources at once.

After all, in the Nascent Soul stage, spiritual things are more expensive than essence.

Compared with annexation, a thousand years of peace is more important.

So he carefully read the terms of the document, and after confirming that there were no traps and that the document was indeed true, he left his soulful aura on it.

"I just don't know, what is the purpose behind Guimiao Xianzong's willingness to pay such a price to prevent me from annexing Huayiguan and other four sects?"

After thinking about it, Lu Zhongsi felt that it could only be because of resources.

On the Nanman side, although various disasters have been happening frequently, it was once almost hit by a dry tide.But fortunately, after the change of the Temple of All Witches, the Great Wall of Spiritual Qi was completely restored, and the arrival of the ascending spiritual tide also allowed the production of Nanban's spiritual objects, which quickly recovered and even surpassed before the dry tide came.

"Unexpectedly, the situation is so serious." Lu Zhong murmured.

Behind Guimiao Xianzong's urgent need for spiritual objects from the southern barbarians, it is very likely that the magnification of the disaster of loss of soul disease.Otherwise, they wouldn't have made such an abnormal move.

Obviously, compared with Lu Zhong's "ringworm and scabies".

It is more important to protect your own basic disk.

"Little friend Lu, these are the materials needed to refine the spirit liquid, but most of the basic spirit materials are still missing. They are common spirit medicines of low age, and it is inconvenient to obtain them in Middle Earth, so you need to make up for them yourself. Regarding the delivery time, The old man hopes that you can refine seven parts of the nameless spiritual liquid within ten years... As for how to take it away, you just need to hand it over to the monks of the Guimiao Sect, they will have their own way to bring it back to the Middle Earth."

Cang Mingzi handed over a storage bag, and left after explaining.

I saw him take a few steps, and suddenly disappeared.

"The method of transforming spirits is really not comparable to Yuanying." Lu Zhong sighed, looking at the storage bag in his hand, after some inspection, he found that, as Cang Mingzi said, there were only the main ingredients needed to refine the spiritual liquid in it. materials, other auxiliary materials and other elixir are the same and nothing.

As for...

Could it be that in the stage of transforming gods, there are still people who will be greedy for petty gains?
Lu Zhong faintly felt that it was not impossible.

Afterwards, he contacted the avatar sitting at the gate of the Bihaizong Mountain, and made a list of the spiritual materials that were missing in the spiritual liquid, ordering him to bring everything together as soon as possible.

The reason for this urgency is mainly because the unnamed psychic liquid is not difficult to refine, but the process is extremely complicated and time-consuming.If you don't make preparations early, I'm afraid ten years will not be enough.

……

The days passed by.

Xu Shi, the Taoist side who had been in fear all the time when he learned that the "beast" was locked in a cage, and the Xuanyang Sect who once belonged to the Changchun Valley camp, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the appearance of false peace, the Nanman prospered day by day due to spiritual tides.

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

In the past six years, Lu Zhong successively refined that nameless spiritual liquid.During the period, I also tried to test the real effect of these spiritual liquids with the help of the real backtracking of the gray fog space. However, after spending a lot of energy to the end, I could only come to the conclusion that it was slightly helpful to the cultivation base.

Obviously, it is impossible for the cultivator of Huashen to care about this kind of thing.

In addition to refining the spiritual liquid, his progress in other aspects.

Whether it is the improvement of cultivation, the further improvement of Broken Star Finger, or the acquisition of suitable pills, the gains are very little.

But in any case, a peaceful development environment can be obtained.

Lu Zhong has long been satisfied with this.

The annual Lantern Festival is always a major festival that cannot be ignored in Nanban.

On the other side of Bihai Fairy City, the city is already filled with lanterns.

Chaosheng Cave is no exception.

The maids hung lanterns made by famous teachers all over the treetops and branches early on, turning this place into a sea of ​​lanterns.

But like most of the time.

Lu Zhong, Yu Feng'er, and Shui Ni couldn't get out of the customs at the same time.

Therefore, this year's Lantern Festival, he spent it alone again.

……

Three years later.

Lu Zhong finally refined the Wuming Spiritual Liquid.

While letting out a long sigh of relief, he remembered the information Cang Mingzi revealed earlier, and couldn't help but become curious.I wondered what method Guimiao Xianzong would use to transport the spiritual objects they needed back to the Middle Earth when the East China Sea route was interrupted.

So he made a special trip to Nanman, and found out that he was using a teleportation array.

After careful observation, Lu Zhong found that this teleportation array was not simple, it was actually an ultra-long-range teleportation array, and it was unknown which giant in the array was responsible for refining such a huge teleportation array into an array disk.Although only one-way transmission can be achieved, it is still a remarkable achievement.

Naturally, he couldn't replicate such an attainment.

Lu Zhong returned to Chaosheng Cave disappointed.

After finishing the refining of spiritual liquid, his life returned to calm.

In addition to practicing every day, it is to improve the secret technique.

In addition, the true ancestral blood in the black flood dragon's body was also extracted by Lu Zhong little by little.

After refining these ancestral blood, his understanding of the changes of flood dragons has become more and more in-depth. After refining all of them, they can even transform into the form of flood dragons.Although the Flood Dragon transformed in this way is only in appearance and does not have much strength to speak of, it is still a remarkable improvement.

"call……"

Lu Zhong exhaled a stream of turbid air like a dragon, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Since the task at hand has been done, and there is no possibility of a breakthrough in the research on spiritual energy transformation technology in the western region, then it's time for me to make a move."

After a period of information collection, although a suitable pill has not been found yet, the whereabouts of Huangji Lingjie, the main medicine for refining Huangji Tianchen Dan, was discovered by accident in the western region.

As an elixir blindly nourished by the spiritual energy of the earth, it is not surprising that Huang Ji Lingjiu appeared deep underground.

Lu Zhong is going to go to the west.

It took some more time to replenish the lost avatars.

Then arrange the affairs.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Zhong turned into a rainbow and soared into the sky, and soon turned into a shooting star, flying towards Bihai Fairy City.Then it flew straight to the north without stopping.

Enter the northern Dalinhai range.

For the sake of secrecy, he descended to the ground.

Concentrate your breath, and hide your cultivation until the alchemy.After passing by all the way, it was like traveling in mountains and rivers, but when Lu Zhong arrived at the Teleportation Palace, it was only just at noon.

After checking that the underground palace was normal, Lu Zhong stepped onto the teleportation array.
