Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 445 Two birds with one stone

There is no one around.

The black-faced Xuanjun who had just left Peach Blossom Temple appeared here for some reason.

"Hmph, unexpectedly there are late-stage cultivators participating in the competition." He seemed to be talking to himself.

"Don't worry, with the old man here, even if you are in the late stage of transformation, it will be difficult to beat you in the bidding." A man's voice suddenly sounded from the ears of the black-faced Xuanjun, his words were full of confidence.

Then there was a flash of light, and an unreal old man in Ge clothes appeared.

"Old Ge, the location you mentioned is really as good as Jade Tanggu? It's not that I doubt it, but that the curative effects of Xiaotanggu have always been determined. Emerald Tanggu is the most important, and Huangyu Tanggu is the best. Second, Qingyu Tanggu is the worst. If so many resources have been invested this time, if something unexpected happens, I'm afraid." When the black-faced Xuanjun saw the old man in Ge Yi, he seemed to be a different person, and the publicity in his expression disappeared. , and immediately possessed a salute, becoming respectful.

"Don't worry about that. Only the old man knows the secret of that position. On the surface, the effect of position 55 is mediocre, but in fact, as long as the spring is dug out and the lake is drained for a while, there will be no less than emerald Tanggu in no time." The curative effect is most suitable for calming the wounds you have suffered from night demons, this old man will not joke about his hope of rebirth." The old man in Ge clothes confidently stroked his beard.

"I see, Mr. Ge, I understand." The black-faced Xuanjun immediately beamed with joy when he heard the explanation.

If he can really heal the pain left by Ye Mo on his body, then he will no longer have to worry about entering the Void Refining Realm.

"However, that competitor of yours doesn't seem to be a simple person. His breath is stable, the aura in the spiritual realm is flourishing, and his cultivation level in the transformation stage is the best I have ever seen in my life. After that During the bidding process, you'd better be willing to pay more. If not, I'm afraid there will be an accident this trip." The old man in Ge Yi pondered for a while, and then reminded again.

This time, he didn't just talk, but opened his mouth and spit out a small golden talisman.

With a little finger, the little talisman floated into the hands of the black-faced Xuanjun.

"This is a small celestial talisman, which is of extraordinary value. Just hold it, and it will add an extra layer of protection."

Hearing Elder Ge's words, the black-faced Xuanjun showed great joy.

Afterwards, the two chatted a few more words, and a bell sounded from the direction of Peach Blossom Temple.

Bidding is about to begin!

Only then did the black-faced Xuanjun turn around, turning into a ball of black light and fleeing into the small nunnery.

Naturally, Lu Zhong didn't know all this, and he didn't expect that there was a big secret in the position he was looking for, and he was enjoying the refreshments provided by Xiaotanggu.

It is a blessing to be able to eat.

At the stage of transforming gods, although one can achieve bigu long ago and no longer needs to supplement nutrients from the outside world, it is not without benefits to eat frequently. Tasting various delicacies can also have the effect of pleasing the body and mind, which is of great benefit to the cultivation base. help.

But quiet time always flies by quickly.

After everyone arrived, the bidding for each position began immediately.

According to the positions registered by everyone, the interior of Taohua Temple will be divided into small venues during the bidding stage, just like Lu Zhong is now in a private room, and other monks participating in the competition are also there.

However, out of the eighteen registrants, only nine of them are present.

In other words, half of the people chose to give up.

"The time is up. It seems that this time, only nine of you will participate in the competition, which will save me a lot of time." In the depths of the room, an old woman with curly hair was sitting upright. Everyone made a routine salute, and then continued: "It's good for you to call Laoshen Du Granny. I am the person in charge of presiding over the bidding for Qingyu Tanggu No. 55. The specific bidding rules are clear to all fellow Taoists. No more nonsense, as for the punishment of random quotations, all the fellow daoists present should have already known.

Quick decision, who is the first to come up with an offer? "

"I'll come." In the corner of the room, a very weak female cultivator with a face covered in gold paper stood up.

She walked up to Granny Du and handed out a note.

The latter saw it, and announced to the rest of the room:

"No. [-], the bid is [-], is there a higher price?"

When Lu Zhong heard the price, he was not only slightly surprised.

This thousand, if converted into spirit stones, is equivalent to [-] high-grade spirit stones, which is not a small amount even for a cultivator who transforms himself into a spirit, and it usually takes a very long time without eating or drinking to earn this amount.

It can be seen that in order to heal her wounds, this woman has exhausted her entire family.

"I'll offer one thousand and one." Another person stood up and quoted his price.

Compared with the female cultivator before, this male cultivator with his head covered is undoubtedly much worse.

Every time he takes a step, more black tentacles will shoot out from the shadow behind him, and they will pierce into the back of the person's head, pulling his Yang God out of the body little by little until it is pulled into the shadow.

"Grandma Du, here is my bidding list." The male cultivator handed out the slip in his hand full of hope.

But before he finished speaking, other monks mercilessly expelled him at a higher price.

Who is not miserable among the people present?
Many people would rather serve the Earth Palace for a thousand years in exchange for a chance to heal their wounds. After all, every time a cultivator of Huashen can live another 3000 years, it is worthwhile to exchange a third of his time for a chance to survive.

As time passed, Lu Zhong remained motionless.

The madness of everyone's quotations has greatly exceeded the expectations before the start, but it is still within his tolerance.

Soon, the price came to two thousand.

Compared with the beginning, it directly doubled.

Even so, the price increase momentum has not slowed down.

"Hmph! It's a waste of time to increase the price a little bit. I bid [-], but there is no one competing with me!" The black-faced Xuanjun sneered at this moment, and raised the price to [-].

Many people shook their heads and quit after hearing the words.

Originally, the black-faced Xuanjun didn't open his mouth, but they still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, thinking that they had a chance to win the competition.

But now, it was added to three thousand.

It's completely extinguished hope.

After a while, there were only three people left in the arena.

They are Granny Du, the black-faced Xuanjun, and Lu Zhong who has not bid.

"Very good! I didn't expect you to have the guts to even have the idea of ​​participating in the competition. But I advise you to give up, because I, the black-faced Xuanjun, have accumulated more than ten thousand years, which is far from what you, a rootless person, can compare. "The black-faced Xuanjun glanced at Lu Zhong, his face contorted for a while, and then a sneer appeared, and he said very confidently.

But he didn't expect that when Lu Zhong heard this, he just smiled lightly.

Not even the slightest bit of meaning.

Seeing this, the black-faced Xuanjun couldn't help being furious. If Xiaotanggu hadn't banned the fight, he would have let this person's blood splatter on the spot.

Granny Du didn't care about such a tense scene, she moved her cloudy eyes to Lu Zhong, and kindly reminded: "My fellow Taoist, since you don't give up the competition, then please quote the price. Watching your spiritual state and spiritual light be clean Cheng Che must be someone who hasn't survived many calamities, so why not make a bold offer, even if it takes a few more years to work for the Tuhuang Palace, it's better than death, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhong didn't react, but the black-faced Xuanjun suddenly became nervous.

The black-faced Xuanjun was already cursing secretly in his heart.

Granny Du's move made the person opposite her fully aware of her own advantages.

In this way, if he wants to win, he has to pay more.

As everyone knows, Lu Zhong also thinks so at the moment.

"Sure enough, Jiang has to be old and spicy. After Granny Du's words, no matter how high the price I raise, the black-faced Xuanjun opposite will think that I have been promoted to work in the Earth Palace. If I come and go, even if I In the end, if we can compete successfully, I am afraid that we will have to bleed a lot, just because of the seemingly well-intentioned reminder from the other party."

Is there a way out?Of course there is.

Xiaotanggu's rule of only quoting prices, but not showing financial resources.

Essentially, it is to avoid killing and seizing treasures.

Because no one knows how many years the competitors will have to work for the Tuhuang Palace in order to win.

Kill people and seize treasures under unknown circumstances.

It is very possible that after a huge price of fighting, instead of getting any benefits, he provoked the Tuhuang Palace and made himself a difficult enemy for nothing.

Keeping money hidden is the way to protect yourself, but sometimes it can be used in reverse.

Now is the best time.

Lu Zhonglue pondered for a while, walked to the middle of the elegant room, and swept away with a flick of his sleeve.

Suddenly, the room was illuminated by spiritual light.

It is a pile of mid-to-high-grade spirit stones, which is large enough to be worth three thousand.

Seeing this scene, the black-faced Xuanjun fell silent.

You know, his highest ability is only four thousand.

Now, the opposite party took out a spirit stone worth three thousand, plus its huge advantage of longevity.

It can be said that he really doesn't have much chance of winning.

At such a time, it stands to reason that the black-faced Xuanjun should give up voluntarily. After all, although his injuries are incurable, as long as he is willing to spend time, he can still heal them with his own strength.If you continue to raise the price now, you are not intending to provoke your enemies. It is not a wise move to know whether the strength is higher than the opponent.

"I give up!"

After a while of silence, the black-faced Xuanjun said so.

When Lu Zhong heard the words, his face revealed surprise.

He originally thought that there would be fierce competition, even a big fight.

But did not expect
"Thank you, fellow daoist!" Lu Zhong said, cupping his hands.

On the other side, the black-faced Xuanjun came out of the Peach Blossom Temple, declined the solicitation of the monks from the Earth Palace, turned around and came to a deserted place.

"Old Ge, why did you suddenly ask me to give up just now?"

"Of course it's for chance!" Ge Lao's figure appeared at this moment, with a faint smile on his face, and reminded: "Since that person can take out [-] high-grade spirit stones, he will only carry more treasures. Do you think Think, if we can get it, what a huge resource it will be by then. Aren’t you still worried about how to raise the resources for advanced refining? Right now is a good opportunity! The old man just now, is already there There is a very subtle mark on the body, which can be traced at any time."

"This..." the black-faced Xuanjun showed hesitation.

Although he does things as he pleases, he is by no means the kind of person who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

Not to mention, killing people and seizing treasures directly.

Seeing him like this, Elder Ge smiled on the surface, but in fact he was already smiling sinisterly in his heart, secretly proud of his plan to kill two birds with one stone.

That's right, killing two birds with one stone.

On the surface, the purpose of proposing the black-faced Xuanjun to kill and seize the treasure is to obtain resources.

But secretly, he was paving the way for his future plans.

Ge Lao, formerly known as Old Man Shishan, was originally a monk who had reached the stage of Mahayana, but in the battle 3 years ago, unfortunately, he died at the hands of all kinds of evil. The Yang God was also swallowed by the enemy, leaving only a wandering soul.I had to play the role of "grandpa" in the adventure.

Old man Shishan never gave up the idea of ​​resurrection.

What I said to the black-faced Xuanjun before, all the methods of resurrection that sounded very real, were in fact nothing but lies.

His real purpose is after the black-faced Xuanjun fell into evil.

Take the house instead.

Seeing that the black-faced Xuanjun was hesitant, the old man Shishan was afraid that his plan would fail, so he began to lure him carefully.

at the same time.

Just as Lu Zhong got the token of prohibition, he plunged into the mountains surrounded by steaming clouds and mist, and flew towards Qingyu Tanggu.At a high altitude, he scanned slightly and found that this "Little Tang Valley" was tens of thousands of miles wide.

In this vast area, there are many spiritual veins with astonishing aura.

Different from the spirit veins in other places, the spirit energy emitted by these spirit veins in Xiaotanggu is not so much spirit energy, but rather a special medicine spirit energy, hence the name "Tang spirit energy", which has a strong healing effect on monks' injuries .They are mixed in the groundwater and flow out of the surface with the hot springs, creating today's Xiaotang Valley.

Not long after, Lu Zhong flew over Qingyu Tanggu.

Along the way, he has discovered four or five places with restrictions, shrouded in clouds, obviously where other hot spring healing places are located.

Did not visit or interrupt.

When Lu Zhong continued to fly forward, following the guidance of the prohibition token all the way, he finally reached the fifth position.

This is a cave mansion built by the water, covering an area of ​​several miles, with all kinds of pavilions and buildings that can't be seen at a glance.And in the next 100 years, the right to use this place will belong to him alone.

Lu Zhong took a deep breath, the rich Tang Lingqi was as strong as his lungs, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

He was not in a hurry to start healing immediately.

Instead, around the hot spring cave, a circle of warning restrictions was set up, not only to prevent people from trespassing, but also to prevent some low-level monsters from entering.Afterwards, a fifth-order large formation was set up to provide sufficient protection for their own safety.

After finishing these, Lu Zhongcai flashed his figure and entered the depths of the cave.

It's steaming here.

After being sealed for hundreds of years, the aura of the soup inside is so rich that it almost turns into substance.This resulted in an astonishing healing effect. Just sitting cross-legged quietly, he could sense the injury and it was rapidly stabilizing.

"The [-] high-grade spirit stones seem to be the right money!" Lu Zhong thought excitedly.

If this effect of Tang Lingqi can last, maybe in addition to stabilizing the injury, it can also recover a little bit.

In order to confirm what I think in my heart.

He didn't hesitate anymore, and started to heal his injuries.
