Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 345 Immemorial Echo
The strange beast was finally defeated.

At this time, Liu Jian turned into rainbow light and flew over, his aura was still quite vain, and there were even blood stains on the seven orifices, which showed that after the natal magic weapon was destroyed, he had indeed suffered a great deal of serious injuries.But looking at the slough on the ground, his eyes were full of surprise.

It can be clearly seen that Liu Jian attaches great importance to this thing.

"I was able to get the spirit pattern this time, thanks to Fellow Daoist Chen. However, it was a pity to let it escape in the end... As for the shedding skin on the ground, how about taking it away after the spirit pattern map is released?" Liu Jian Having said that, his expression looked a little nervous.

"No need, just give me a copy." Lu Zhong said with a smile.

He had seen the skin slough a long time ago, it was just a layer of dead skin, it had no value at all.It is estimated that it will not be long before it will turn into dust and dissipate.

With the space of gray fog, it doesn't matter whether you get the skin slough or not. Lu Zhong only needs to go back to the scene to fully transcribe the spirit patterns revealed on the skin slough.

That being the case, it would be better to be a favor.

When Liu Jian heard this, he was naturally overjoyed.

Immediately, Lu Zhong asked for a map from Yongming, and separated from Liu Jian and others.He started backtracking with the help of the scene, and went straight to the next target——Huang Jiyu exhausted.

Going back all the way, he really found this thing.

However, just like most of the elixir in the world, Huangji Yujie is also guarded by monsters.

It is a big bug with a yellowish carapace and spots. It looks like an aggregate of scorpions and centipedes. It can spew out extremely corrosive venom. Its strength is at the same level, and it can be regarded as the top level.

However, there are only three levels.

Lu Zhongning took out a mouthful of spirit sword, and dealt with it casually.

I got some materials, one third-order demon pill.

He didn't even look at it, and put it directly into the storage ring.Then, he moved his gaze upwards and looked at the spirit tree growing in a piece of loess.

Huangji Yujie is not some kind of spiritual flower or spiritual fruit.

It comes from the Huangji Spirit Tree, which is actually a kind of spiritual material obtained after processing the jade fat infiltrated from the Huangji Jade Fruit.Because of its amazing aura, it has become an alchemy material over time.

"One, two, three... Eleven. Unexpectedly, there are as many as eleven fruits on this spirit tree!" Lu Zhong was overjoyed for a while after counting the harvest, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

After returning, he only needs to cut open these Huangji jade fruits, and then after some processing and refining, he can make the obtained jade fat into Huangji jade.

It is estimated that at least seven materials can be obtained.

Due to the gray fog space, it is possible to simulate alchemy.

In other words, seven copies of Huangji Yujie represent.

It is a whole seven furnaces of Huangji Tianchen Pill.

"Hahaha!" Lu Zhong laughed again.

If there are seven furnaces of pills, then he won't have to worry about pills for a period of time in the future.

In this way, there will be more time to collect pill recipes, or wait for the western border to study the beast spirit pattern, and make new progress in the spirit transformation technology.

Putting away the Huangji jade fruit, Lu Zhong searched around.

Really found a lot of elixir.

It's a pity that they are all low-level elixir, and there is only one Huangji Spirit Tree, and the expectations in my heart can't help but be shattered.But soon, another bold idea emerged in his mind.

"I don't know where this strange beast came from?"

Lu Zhong thought of this, but did not immediately make a decision.

Instead, he first contacted the incarnation of the Bihaizong, and learned from him that Nanman was still in peace, and after he left without any major incidents, he decided to search for the source of the strange beast.At this moment in his heart, he already had a strong premonition that he might be able to find something there.

With the help of the gray fog space, Lu Zhong started to act.

The source of the appearance of the strange beast seems to be deep underground.

Therefore, along the way, he is traveling downward.

As the depth continued to increase, many minerals that had never been seen in the classics were discovered one by one at this time, and a small part of them seemed to be applicable to magic weapons.

On the way, we passed through many magnificent underground worlds.

Or a vibrant lava ocean, in which a large number of strange creatures are active; or a strange cave full of giant fossils, with no holes around it, making people wonder whether the fossils appeared out of thin air; or rocks covered with colorful luminous moss The tunnel, being in it is like being in a rainbow wonderland.

"Unexpectedly, the magnificent scenery in this world will be designed for me one day!"

Feasting his eyes on Lu Zhong, his heart was filled with emotion.

When he first came to this world, he was just a rookie casual cultivator, and he thought that only those "heaven's favored ones" could witness the splendid scenery of the world of cultivating immortals.But he never thought that in less than three hundred years, he would become a big man who was unimaginable in the past.

"Really, this moment and that moment..."

Then he stopped his thoughts and stopped thinking about flying.

The deeper you go underground, the higher the air pressure becomes.The creatures encountered along the way are becoming more and more "flat", most of them are like shoe mats, which are softly laid on the ground.

At the same time, the temperature is gradually dropping.

Continuing to fly away, chasing the movement track of the strange beast, Lu Zhong entered a dark underground world, the size of which was the largest he had seen along the way, and even if he released his consciousness, he could not reach the end.And according to the feedback from the spiritual sense, there are actually a large area of ​​ruins here, which is really unexpected.

Looking at the place where he couldn't see his fingers, he made a formula and released a "Sunshine Technique".

This technique is a fourth-level spell, which can be regarded as an advanced step of the "candlelight technique".

After finishing the display soon, Lu Zhong waved his hand.

A huge ball of light came out of his hand, and it emitted a dazzling aura that gradually rose into the sky until it finally settled on the top of the rock, illuminating a range of hundreds of miles.However, this still fails to reach the end of the space, and where the light cannot cover, there is still darkness that can't be seen.

Fortunately, this is enough.

When Lu Zhong saw the ruins in front of him clearly, he couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face again.

"This architectural style has never been seen before!"

Neither in ancient times nor in ancient times.

To be precise, it was not built by the human race at all.Those huge gates, which are in the shape of an inverted triangle and made of huge green rocks, are at least three to five feet wide, so they can't be created by humans.

"Is it the civilization of other creatures?" Lu Zhong looked strange.

This is slightly inconsistent with the world of cultivating immortals in his impression.

Suppressing the thoughts in my heart, I saw a strange "civilization".For the sake of prudence, Lu Zhong did not risk himself, but released an avatar, ready to manipulate him to explore.

The main body is suspended in the air, and continues to maintain the existence of the sun.

By the way, also restore mana, so as to deal with possible threats.

As for the avatar, since his cultivation was only at the late stage of Qi refining, he could only hold the Fire Crow Sword and perform the "light body technique" to slowly fall to the ground.

Walking in the ruins, Lu Zhong seemed to be in the kingdom of giants.

Huge stone columns, huge stone streets, huge multi-storey houses, huge hollowed-out stone chairs...everything you see with your eyes is outrageously big.

Everything I saw showed that there was indeed a civilization here.

It’s just that it’s so old that time has wiped out everything, and in the end there is only such a rocky ruin, telling the past to future generations.

Before he knew it, Lu Zhong came to a huge hall.

Seeing this huge hall, he couldn't help being startled, because on the closed door of the hall, images of strange beasts were engraved impressively, as if they could jump out in the next moment.

Not only that, other places in the palace gate also described the abilities of strange beasts.

Whether it's a withered and yellow form, a fake phantom body, or a powerful ripple, they are all clearly described in the form of images.

It is worth mentioning that Lu Zhong also saw a group of strange little people kneeling in the corner. Their body shape is like an inverted triangle, and their appearance has no resemblance to human figures.Combined with the surrounding scenes, it is obvious that a sacrifice is being carried out, and the object is the strange beast he is looking for.If there is no accident, these little priests should be the natives of this place, but they disappeared without a trace for some reason.

He moved his gaze to the lower right corner of the palace door, where there was a small smooth gap.

"From here?"

Lu Zhong returned his consciousness to his body, and after a scene retracing, after consuming half of his spiritual power, he finally confirmed his conjecture.

Just three years ago, the strange beast came out from here, and then began to wander around the underground world until it was discovered by the Western Region Alliance.

"It seems that if you want to know the answer, you can only go in once."

After thinking about it, Lu Zhong released another avatar.

It's just that this time, he didn't give any magic weapon, he just used the spirit sword technique casually, and condensed nine spirit swords for body protection.

The avatar landed with a light body technique, and then tried to push open the temple door.

Unexpectedly, the door of the temple opened as soon as it was pushed.

Immediately afterwards, a black mist surged out from behind the door.

Instantly engulfs the avatar.

The black mist came and went quickly.

When everything was calm, the avatar was gone.

High in the sky, Lu Zhong already had a look of surprise and doubt on his face.

Just now, the moment the avatar was engulfed by the black mist, he completely lost contact with him.But what is very strange is that at the same time, it can be clearly sensed that this avatar has not fallen, and still exists well, but it is not known where it was sent.

Switch to another avatar perspective.

Lu Zhong, who took over, was surprised to find that after the mysterious black mist dissipated, the scene in the palace was immediately revealed.Surprisingly, it was empty inside.

And in the deepest part, a figure stood impressively.

It was the incarnation that had just disappeared.

At this moment, he turned around slowly, a golden mask was added to his face at some point, his eyes were emotionless, and he was looking up and down at the vigilant Lu Zhong.

It took a long time for a hoarse voice to sound out in a strange word order.

"I didn't expect to be replaced by you in the future!"

"What do you mean by your words?" Lu Zhong asked calmly.

"Speak, simple, a little..." The controlled incarnation heard Lu Zhong's words, exhaled inexplicably, and seemed to think for a while before interpreting the sentence into words.

Hearing this, Lu Zhong couldn't help thinking:
It doesn't seem very smart to control the avatar thing.

From his observations, the reason why the avatar was controlled was because of the golden mask.

I don't know what kind of material this thing is made of, but a powerful wave of spiritual energy is escaping from above.For a creation that is likely to have existed for millions of years, the aura fluctuations on it are counterintuitive.

If you insist on explaining it, you can only say it is a spiritual treasure.

In Lu Zhong's cognition, there are and only spirit treasures that can spontaneously absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and even the vitality of heaven and earth, so as to supplement their own consumption.

So as to realize the immortality of thousands of years.

As for the origin of Lingbao, it is easy to explain.

Lingbao is natural.

It is not impossible for the innate spirit treasure to be born underground.

And this golden mask, which is suspected to be a spirit treasure, can be seen to be formed by the condensation of the "Qi of Wutu", which is also in line with the characteristics of appearing deep in the ground.

Be patient and communicate with it, to be precise, it should be "her".

According to the other party's statement, she is the last individual of civilization, and she was preserved because her consciousness was lodged in the "artifact".And the artifact in her mouth naturally refers to the golden mask.

Hearing this, Lu Zhong became more and more sure of his guess.

At the same time, he looked at the other party without leaving any traces, another guess emerged in his heart, and he secretly said: "Could it be that she...is the spirit that has become a spirit treasure?"

Spirit treasures are inherently immortal, and if they become the tool spirits within, they will naturally last a long time.

What a coincidence among coincidences!

A series of accidents allowed this ancient life to preserve consciousness.

Lu Zhong further speculated that it was most likely related to her race.

After all, it is not that some immortal cultivators who are seeking immortality have tried to use immortal spirit treasures to achieve "immortality" in a different sense, but all these crazy plans, without exception, are at the cost of spirit treasure damage. All failed.

"Interesting!" Lu Zhong couldn't help thinking.

If I start from this point and study the ethnic characteristics of this weapon spirit, can I find an alternative means of longevity?

For example, like her, with the help of Lingbao to obtain eternal life!

Compared with the ethereal and unreachable, there are still countless obstacles and difficulties to ascend to immortality, obviously this alternative method of longevity is easier to achieve.

Obviously, the idea is quite tempting.

So much so that he, who has always been steadfast in mind, couldn't help breathing more at this moment.

After some communication, Lu Zhong discovered through some details, such as the metamorphic changes of the rocks, that she existed longer than he thought.Where is the ancient times millions of years ago, I am afraid that it is not impossible to trace back to the ancient times when the witchcraft did not appear.

Good guy!
There was a stir in Lu Zhong's heart.

This undoubtedly shows that the human race is not the first civilization in this world!
"It's getting more and more interesting!" he thought to himself.

If we continue to study like this, we will combine the fact that immortality is an external thing, and the immortals described in the classics are no different from the human race.Doesn't it mean that the human race is not a native of this world.

In other words, the human race in this world is actually the offspring of the "colonists".I don't know what kind of turmoil will be caused in the world of cultivating immortals when such a statement is spread?

But very quickly, Lu Zhong snuffed out his divergent thoughts one by one.

He's not interested in archaeology.

Compared with these historical secrets, as a monk of the Immortal Dao, he was still more interested in the golden mask that was suspected to be a spiritual treasure.
