Longevity begins with loose cultivation

High above the sky, Lu Zhong woke up.

Realizing that he was falling at an extremely fast speed, if he continued at the current speed, even if his injuries were not aggravated by the high heat of the frictional air, he would fall to the ground at multiple times the speed of sound, causing great commotion.

Maybe, monks will think that there is a treasure born.

With the level of the spirit world, it is not surprising even if it attracts the monks of the integration period.

To be cautious, he flipped his hand and took out something.

It is a fairly rare ore.

The level is not low, enough to forge Lingbao.

After letting this thing replace him and become a falling meteor, Lu Zhong was suspended in mid-air, looking at the vast land below, he searched for a direction indiscriminately, and flew straight there.

Fly all the way close to the ground.

The more he flew forward, the more he lamented the abundance of aura in the spirit world.

It's obviously just a wilderness, but the concentration of its aura is comparable to that of a second-order spirit vein.

In some places, it can even reach the fourth level.

It is conceivable how high the concentration of aura in those places would be in the holy places for cultivation in the world of spirits.

Flying forward for more than [-] miles, Lu Zhongju looked down from a high position, and finally found a gathering place for monks in the distance. Judging from the vision of spiritual energy transpiration, there should be a fourth-order spiritual vein here.

Seeing that the injury has deteriorated, it is difficult to continue to suppress.

So he lowered his altitude and fell down.

It was only after getting close that I realized that the place where monks gather here is not small, and there are nearly ten thousand auras. Counting the surrounding fortresses, the number of monks is at least tens of thousands, and among them, the highest cultivation has reached the stage of transforming gods .

"As expected of the spirit world!" Lu Zhong thought complicatedly.

Like all the monks' square cities, this "Linjiangfang City" in front of you, as long as you pay the entry spirit stone, you basically don't ask about its origin.

Therefore, he entered the city very smoothly.

Afterwards, thousands of spirit stones were spent to rent a third-tier cave for a hundred years.

In this way, Lu Zhong settled down for the time being.

In the quiet room, Lu Zhong sat cross-legged.

The ground in front of him was already covered with medicine bottles.

But after taking so many pills, his injury still didn't get better. On the contrary, there were faint signs of deterioration, which showed that the current injury was beyond his ability to solve.

Realizing this, Lu Zhong understood that he wanted to heal his injury now.

You can only seek higher levels of power.

Either take the risk and invite high-ranking monks to take action;
Either obtain sixth-level, seventh-level, or even higher-level healing pills.

Either way, it's extremely difficult to do.

"Forget it, even if the injury worsens, it can last at least a thousand years, and there is no rush at this moment."

Now Lu Zhong still has a lot to do.

On the one hand, he had promised Kongsang Shenmu before, and would collect the Shenmu for the other party.

Now, it's time to cash in.

On the other hand, after the energy is exhausted, it is also necessary to use the Qi extraction method to restore it as soon as possible.

Otherwise, without the protection of spirit, the sun god exposed to time and time will soon decay and die, unable to help monks continue to live forever.

Moreover, once the Yang God declines, it will seriously affect the progress of cultivation.

In severe cases, it can even cut off the road.

Lu Zhong couldn't help but not pay attention to it.

Just when he was thinking about how to arrange his time.

A yellow talisman flew in from outside.

Lu Zhong took it and found that it was a messenger talisman.

There was a message on it, but the neighbor next door came to visit.

"I heard that a fellow Taoist has moved in. The poor Taoist is Dewey who lives not far away. He came here to visit today." A monk in gray clothes and dressed in a seasoned attire was standing with a jar of wine. at the door.

Lu Zhong looked at him a few times, and after confirming that he was indeed a monk of alchemy, he opened the restriction.

However, he didn't move away.

The meaning is very clear, and I don't want to make friends with outsiders.

Seeing this, the old Taoist looked a little ugly, but he still handed out the wine jar in his hand, "Since the fellow Taoist is not free today, the poor Taoist will not bother you any more. This is a jar of self-brewed Zhuru fruit wine. It helps a little, if fellow daoists still need it in the future, don’t hesitate to come to the humble house, Pindao will definitely give you a discounted price!”

After all, the man turned and left for a long time.

Holding the wine jar, Lu Zhong thought to himself that he was a door-to-door salesman.

He wanted to go back, but unexpectedly, another figure came from a distance. It was a beautiful woman in palace attire, her cultivation level was slightly higher than Cai Cai's, and she was at the late stage of alchemy, and she was holding a bamboo basket in her hand.

After some conversation, the female cultivator reported her name as "Su Yue".

But just like the old Taoist Dewey, he was also a door-to-door salesman, but what he sold was spiritual food. It seemed that the monks here were well versed in management, and Su Yue also gave away a box of spiritual food for free.

Although not expensive, it is worth dozens of spirit stones.

Regarding this woman, Lu Zhong did not let her in as before, and sent this one away after spending some time.

He originally thought that the matter would end here, but he didn't expect that there would be waves of visiting monks, a total of 17 people were received, and the gifts he received piled up into a hill, and finally no one came to the door again.

"Linjiangju, it's not easy!" Lu Zhong said with emotion.

From the behavior of these monks, we can get a glimpse of the difficulty of obtaining resources here.

Among the people who visited just now, there are not only brewers and spirit chefs, but also talisman masters, weapon refiners, and alchemists. All of them are skilled craftsmen, but it is such a monk who has mastered the craft, but it is quite difficult to live.

Even in order to compete, they had to take the initiative to visit.

The purpose of giving gifts is naturally to form a good relationship.

In this way, Lu Zhong will probably think of them first when he needs it in the future.

"Could it be that I have rented a house for a hundred years and attracted attention?"

Lu Zhong couldn't help being suspicious.

But no matter how you think about it, a mere [-] rent doesn't seem like a lot of money, does it?He really didn't know why these people thought that he was a future big customer who was worth giving gifts to make a good relationship.

If you can't figure it out, just leave it behind.

He returned to the quiet room, continued to heal his injuries, and tried to stabilize his injuries.

At the same time, an avatar was also dispatched.

On the one hand, it is to inquire about news, whether it is a trade fair or an auction, to see if they can use this to inquire about the sale of high-level healing pills.

On the other hand, it is to collect information on the spirit world.

After seeing the customs of monks here, Lu Zhong felt that it was necessary to learn more about the world of spirits.

Ever since, time passed day by day.

With the help of the incarnation to collect information, Lu Zhong gradually learned a lot about the world of spirits.

According to the records in the classics, the place he is currently in is a region called Fengyuan Realm, which is a part of the vast spiritual world with a circumference of hundreds of millions of miles.

In Fengyuan Jiezhi, there is a mention of Daomeng.

However, most of them are Spring and Autumn strokes.

Even if it is mentioned occasionally, it is all mentioned in one stroke, and there is no more description.

"Could this be the supreme Dao League in the world of spirits?" Lu Zhong couldn't help being very surprised by this in his heart. If the league collapsed overnight, even if he was scolded and cast aside, he could still understand it.

But now, what is going on with this secretive attitude?
Everywhere, there is an indescribable weirdness.

Really can't figure it out, Lu Zhong can only continue to look down.

Geography, Humanities, History.
After reading it a little bit, he has a basic understanding of Fengyuanjie.

Generally speaking, this is a place where immortality flourishes.

The overlord who rules this place is a huge force called "Earth Palace". It is not a sect in the general sense. According to the few words in the classics, it looks like a country that has just taken shape.

Calling it the "Cultivation of Immortals" is not against harmony.

The master of the palace is Mahayana, and there are a group of monks with different levels of cultivation below, which together form a bureaucratic organization.In an almost state-like state, ruling this vast land of hundreds of millions of miles, all sects, families, groups, and even individuals doing business must pay taxes regularly.

The tax amount is not low at all, nearly [-]% of the total income.

Seeing this, Lu Zhongcai finally understood.

Why do the monks in the workshop have a difficult life.

It turns out that the root is here.

After looking at it, Lu Zhong found that the world of spirits was far less beautiful than he had imagined.

It is true that the concentration of aura is high, but it is only good for low-level monks.

For high-level monks, it is full of exploitation everywhere.

Staying in the Immortal Cultivation Kingdom, you have to face high taxes.

Even if one has mastered all kinds of skills in cultivating immortals, it is very likely that after working hard for a whole year, the spirit stones earned are only enough to barely meet the needs of practicing after deducting various taxes.

If you don't want to pay taxes, you can only choose to wander in the wilderness outside the country.

The great wilderness generally refers to the wilderness outside the country of cultivating immortals.

There is a place untouched by the immortal way, a paradise for heretics and wild creatures.

Murder everywhere, follow the law of the jungle.

Even if a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage enters it alone by mistake, he may not be able to get out again.It is said that only monks in the fit stage have the qualifications to cross the wilderness.

Not to mention, every once in a while, disasters will spread.

Either the overflowing herds of beasts in the wilderness, or the growing forces of heretics, or the new unknown alien species with powerful strength that emerged in the wilderness, all of them are full of threats to the Fengyuan world.

It is precisely because of this that the high taxation of the Tuhuang Palace has become a matter of course.

Although it is frighteningly tall, monks in this world can bear it.

After all, only after paying taxes can the Earth Palace have the money to build and maintain a huge army of tens of millions of monks to deal with threats from inside and outside the Fengyuan Realm.

In this regard, as long as a monk with a little brain knows how to choose.

Spending money to eliminate disasters is justified!
Lu Zhong couldn't help suspecting that perhaps it was these continuous threats from the outside world that could not be completely eradicated that made the monks in the Fengyuan Realm evolve into a "country", an administrative organization structure that is far more efficient than sects and families.

Of course, it may also come from other places.

According to the geographical records, there are more than a dozen Xiuxianjies in the vicinity of Fengyuanjie, such as "Cangshijie" and "Yuzhenjie", and they also adopt the structure of Xiuxian Kingdom to deal with the endless threats in the wild.

"In the end, it's all because of the weakness of the immortal way, not the ruler of this world."

From just a few words, Lu Zhong could even vaguely see that only heretics are the power to control this world.Think again, when I was teleporting across borders, I encountered all kinds of evil interceptions along the way.

He was more certain of his conjecture.

If there is no accident, this is a world where the Dao League has collapsed, the evils have the upper hand, and the Immortal Dao is at a disadvantage.

Dangers abounded in the wilderness, so that the monks had to live together in groups.

Even, the structure of the country has evolved.

It is to mobilize resources more efficiently and quickly to deal with threats from various evils.

If not, Lu Zhong felt that with the characteristics of immortal cultivators, he would probably still be able to cultivate immortals according to the law of the jungle, with the goal of finally ascending to immortality, and continue to maintain the social structure with sects, families, and casual cultivators as split units.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhong gave up the idea of ​​taking a flying boat to go to other worlds.

This is the case in the Fengyuan world, and I am afraid that other immortal worlds will not be much better.

Even if there is a world of cultivators who do not have to pay taxes, they will definitely use other means, such as conscription or compulsory military service, to mobilize and utilize the power of cultivators in the realm of cultivators to face the growing threat in the Great Desolation.

As for why, the upper-level monks, such as Mahayana and Transcending Tribulation monks, did not change this situation.

Lu Zhong can probably guess the reason.

Maybe it's not because I don't want to, but because I can't do it.

He has seen the power of various evils many times, and he knows that their power level has already surpassed the Tribulation Stage. Although it is unlikely to reach the true immortal level, their strength is definitely far beyond the Tribulation Stage.

Otherwise, it cannot be explained, and the Daoist League, which once traveled everywhere in the Mahayana, will be destroyed overnight.

"It stands to reason that such a world should be guarded by immortal envoys."

This is another place that makes Lu Zhong feel strange.

With the importance of the world of spirits, it is almost equivalent to a cradle that continuously cultivates true immortals.

And based on his cognition, and in connection with Guan Daozi's words about how to become a true immortal, it is absolutely impossible for a true immortal to be a rotten street bastard who walks everywhere in the fairy world.

This further highlights the importance of the spirit world.

In fact, even if there is a real immortal coming to the world to cleanse all evil, it is not surprising at all.

But the current situation is.

The whereabouts of the immortal envoy that should have existed is unknown.

The real immortal didn't pay any attention to this, as if he didn't notice anything.

"Forget it, it's useless to think too much."

Lu Zhong's thoughts were too painful, the water inside was too deep, and he, a little Huashen, could not touch it.Rather than spending energy on these secret matters, it is better to find a way to stabilize the injury first.

He still wanted to go further, so it was necessary to preserve his physical body.

Original, better than re-condensed.

It's a pity that incarnation has been slow on this front.

According to the information I heard, due to the constant war on the border, any high-level healing pills would be dispatched to the army of monks, and very few of the pills he needed would be left in the relatively peaceful interior.

Helpless, Lu Zhong had no choice but to send more incarnations.

This time, the target is not limited to healing pills, as long as it is a means to stabilize the injury, all are in the list of inquiries.He didn't believe that the huge Fengyuan Realm didn't even have the means to heal the wounded by transforming spirits.

Finally, Kung Fu pays off.

Lu Zhong spent more than 78 years and paid millions of spirit stones, and finally found out that there is a place called "Little Tang Valley" [-] miles away from Linjiangfang City. There is a magical medical spring there. It can heal the injuries of the monks who transform the spirit, and it is said that it also has an effect on the monks in the refining stage.
