Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 557 Heroes Twilight
Two years later.

In the quiet room of Dongfu.

Lu Zhong sat cross-legged and was slowly recovering his energy.

Since comprehending the secret technique was not feasible, he had to spend his time on cultivation.

Thanks to this, the cultivation base has recovered from the initial stage of foundation establishment to the current peak of the middle stage of foundation establishment. As long as there is a period of time, it is not difficult to break through to the late stage of foundation establishment.

However, he had to leave the customs today.

Regarding the whereabouts of "Lv Zhong", there has been some clues recently.

According to information, "Lv Zhong" lived in Yanlingshanfang City for a long time, which is consistent with Lu Zhong's experience, but then suddenly one day, "Lv Zhong" suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, two other monks disappeared.

They are "Bai Xiaohan" and "Huang Shuyuan".

"Bai Xiaohan disappeared, I can understand, but why Huang Shuyuan also?"

Thinking of this, Lu Zhong couldn't help showing a strange expression.

Shouldn't.
"Forget it, it's useless to think about it here. The specific investigation information has already been entrusted to Jin Linglou to find out, and it will be sent over later, and we will know it when we see it."

After Lu Zhong finished adjusting his breath, he got up and walked out of the quiet room.

Sit down in the middle hall.

Before he finished his cup of spiritual tea, a maid brought an old man in.

The visitor was dressed in plain clothes, with many spots on his face. Although he looked very old, his strength should not be underestimated, his breath was stable, and he still maintained the level of the early foundation establishment.

This person is the steward of Jinling Tower - Fang Xiaoyun.

"Chen Daoyou, you have already received a reply regarding the matter you entrusted Jin Linglou to investigate." Fang Xiaoyun took out a jade slip from his sleeve and gently placed it on the table as he spoke.

However, it was not pushed towards Lu Zhong.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Lu Zhong smiled slightly when he saw it, swept his sleeves, and released the prepared reward.

A total of one thousand spirit stones.

Unexpectedly, the other party just smiled and did not take away the spirit stone.Immediately after he cupped his hands, he said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, Fellow Daoist should be a casual cultivator, right?"

As soon as Fang Xiaoyun opened his mouth, Lu Zhong knew his intention, which was nothing more than to attract guests.After all, Jinling Tower seems to be independent, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that standing behind it must be the Jinhongzong.

However, outsiders are afraid of this golden elixir master, but Lu Zhongke has no fear.

So, he said directly:

"Fellow Daoist made a good guess. Mr. Chen has no affiliation at present. He is just a wild crane. However, I am used to being free in my daily life, and I don't like to be restrained."

Hearing these words, Fang Xiaoyun's plans were exhausted.

"Everyone has their own aspirations. Since fellow Taoists yearn for freedom, this old man is doing too much."

After finishing speaking, he took away the spirit stone on the table.

Then he said goodbye and left.

Lu Zhong watched Fang Xiaoyun leave, then set his eyes on the jade slip, a sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.Although he didn't know how he had offended Jin Hongzong, the secret method on the jade slips was real.

Nothing could hide from his eyes.

"The superficial tracking spell, full of loopholes, can be solved with just one hand. It's just that Jin Linglou is trying to track me, what is the intention?" Lu Zhongsi thought about it, and found that there was only one possibility.

Maybe it has something to do with the person I'm looking for, that is, "Lu Zhong".

The more I think about it, the more likely it is.

But before drawing conclusions, Lu Zhong decided to take a look at what was written in the jade slips.

After counting breaths, he held back his smile and put down the jade slip.

"It really made me guess right!"

"This guy... actually cheated Jin Hongzong, and then ran away with hugs left and right."

As for the reason, it came from the "Golden Spirit Grass".

This thing is a third-order elixir, which can increase the chance of forming a pill.If monks who practice gold practice take it when forming alchemy, the success rate can be increased by at least half.

According to the information provided by Jinling Tower, during the Liting incident in Youyun Valley that year, "Lv Zhong", together with Bai Xiaohan and Huang Shuyuan, attacked the monks of the Golden Rainbow Sect by chance when the "Golden Spirit Grass" was born in the valley, killing dozens of people. After the death, he took the opportunity to snatch away a golden spirit grass, and there was no news from then on.

According to Lu Zhong's understanding of Zongmen's urine.

This information needs to be looked at in reverse, that is, Jin Hongzong failed to compete for the opportunity and was killed by "Lu Zhong" against several people.

Keep looking down.

It is Jin Linglou's investigation of the whereabouts of "Lv Zhong".

For more than a hundred years, there has been no news.

Until half a year ago.

"Yonglingfang City. Unexpectedly, the three of them have been in Lingyue Domain all this time. It's just that this Jinling Building seems to be too useless to find them."

When Lu Zhong saw the end, he was also moved with emotion.

"If my faith had wavered a little back then, I'm afraid I would have taken this route, right?"

But soon, he cleared away the distracting thoughts.

Knowing the next step to find the direction, everything will be easy to handle.

In addition, Lu Zhong also had speculations about Jin Hongzong's intention to follow him.

However, regardless of whether Jin Hongzong wanted to borrow his hand to make a fisherman profit, or tried to follow the oriole, all conspiracies and calculations were nothing but jokes in front of absolute strength.

Keep the jade slips well, ignoring the tracking secret technique above.

When Lu Zhong went out of the city, he turned into a ray of light and flew straight towards Yonglingfang City
On the way, Lu Zhong sensed a "tail" behind him.

There was no intention of communicating, so he turned around directly, and in the astonished eyes of the spirit bird on the shoulder of the following monk, he directly blasted out a palm thunder, blasting the other party into powder including the man and the bird.

Then, continue on your way.

"boom!"

Li Yuanfeng slapped his palm heavily on the jade table in front of him, making a handprint.

It has been an unknown number of years since the alchemy was successfully formed, and no one dared to offend him.But today, in front of Li Yuanfeng, someone killed someone without saying a word.

"No reason!"

The more Li Yuanfeng thought about it, the angrier he became, and he was about to go out immediately.

At this time, a figure walked in from outside the door.

It was Xuanjian Daoist, his face was old at the moment, like an old man.Daoist Jin Dan shouldn't be like this.There is one and only one explanation for this situation now, and that is when it is time to die.

It can be as short as one year and as long as three or four years.

When the time comes, whether you like it or not, you have to sit down.

"Yuan Feng, how many times have I said it, don't be arrogant. The foundation of Jinhongzong is not stable, and it depends on you to steer the ship to decide where this big ship will sail in the future."

"Senior brother said that Yuan Feng was impulsive."

Li Yuanfeng took a deep breath to calm down his emotions.

But he also knew very clearly that the reason why he was so impulsive and irritable could not be separated from the ancient exercises he practiced.Unless the golden spirit grass is retrieved and refined, this characteristic will accompany it for life.

"Let me take care of this matter." Master Xuanjian said again.

"Brother, you are here."

Li Yuanfeng was startled, and hurriedly tried to stop it, but was interrupted by the latter.

"At a young age, it's time to play the final warm-up. Don't say too much, I have made up my mind. In fact, I would rather sit on the road, or even die in a fight, than lie on the bed and swallow the last One breath."

After finishing speaking, Master Xuanjian handed a storage ring to Li Yuanfeng.

Then he turned and walked out the door.

the other side.

Lu Zhong has arrived in Yonglingfang City.

It can be vaguely seen that this place was once a fairy city.

The traces of the old battles inside and outside the city are still vivid. Through the bomb craters of different sizes and the astonishing glazed ground, it is not difficult to guess the intensity of the war.

Walking to one place, Lu Zhong also saw the traces of Jin Dan's self-explosion.

But today, everything is dust of the past.

Soon, he went to the entrance of Fangshi.

Unlike the well-ordered Yanling Fairy City, Yonglingfang City looks quite chaotic. As far as Lu Zhong saw along the way, there are even demon cultivators mixed in, presumably there are a lot of evil cultivators in it.

Ignoring the gaze in the dark, Lu Zhong went straight into Fangshi.

As for how to find "Lu Zhong", he actually has no good way now.

However, there are still ideas.

Since the three "Lv Zhong" stayed here for a long time, they must still live in seclusion in Yonglingfang City or the surrounding area without knowing their whereabouts have been exposed.

What Lu Zhong has to do now is to find out the reason why "Lu Zhong" appeared half a year ago.

Then use it to fish.

"What is he doing for?"

In order to find out what "Lv Zhong" cares about, Lu Zhong is going to make two-handed preparations this time.

On the bright side, continue to gather information.

In the dark, it is preparing to refine an incarnation.

A few years have passed, and the materials for refining the avatar have already been stored enough, so Lu Zhong is going to refine an avatar, and let him conduct investigations in the dark to avoid the monitoring of Jin Hongzong.

As for the body, it sits on the Diaoyutai.

No matter which side has a breakthrough first, it can wait for the opportunity to move.

At the same time, continue to take pills to practice, so that the strength can be recovered more.

Lu Zhong had a premonition in his heart that he would most likely face off against Brother Jiedan this time, and if his strength was high enough at that time, he might not need to use Xingchenjian and continue to keep this hole card.

one day, two days
January, February
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

During this period, apart from refining the avatar and making up for the loss, Lu Zhong has been practicing in closed doors.Under the high ground, the recovery speed of cultivation is extremely fast, and it has already broken through from the middle stage of foundation establishment to the late stage of foundation establishment.

On this day, a talisman suddenly flew in from outside the quiet room.

It was sent by the avatar.

"The trace reappeared in an underground auction house."

".Target, life-extending elixir?"

Seeing this, Lu Zhong understood the reason for the appearance of "Lu Zhong", and sighed: "That's right, after more than a hundred years, if the cultivation level has not continued to break through, the longevity should be exhausted."

"Next, it's fishing time!"

He thought for a while, and quickly determined the fishing plan.

That is to refine a life-extending thing, and then send it to the auction house to wait for the fish to be baited.

To be on the safe side, the "bait" is best to be genuine.Although Lu Zhong didn't have a corresponding spiritual object in his hand, it was not difficult to do it, that is to take a drop of his own blood and process it a little.

The blood essence of a monk who refines the void has no life-prolonging effect in essence, but because it contains a lot of essence, it can repair damage, so that the monk can live forever.

In this way, in a disguised form, the purpose of prolonging life has been achieved.

After a while, a "Blood Flower Pill" was refined.

Looking at this pill, it looks like a mass of blood flames, but it exudes a tempting fragrance.

Ordinary monks would not have any obvious feeling when they smelled it, at most they would feel a little relieved.If you were a person who was about to die, you would immediately find that your body was improving.

According to Lu Zhong's understanding of himself and the purpose of "Lu Zhong" needing this item, he feels that the target will most likely be hooked.

Then it will be time to unify the world line.

Inadvertently, the situation suddenly rose.

An astonishing piece of news quickly spread in private.

However, someone consigned a life-prolonging pill in the auction house. The Yongling Auction House has identified this and made the efficacy of the pill public to the public.

"The damage can be repaired, so that people can live forever!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Hearing this news, many monks who were about to die came to Yonglingfang City one after another.

Somewhere in Fangshi.

Master Xuanjian sighed.

"If this pill can come earlier, I'm afraid I can live a hundred years longer."

"such a pity"

Master Xuanjian didn't think that the so-called treasure pill that the foundation-building cultivator took out could completely restore his life essence that was lost due to serious injuries that were hard to heal due to fighting skills.

But even if it can only be recovered for 20 years, it is still a surprise.

"However, we have to wait for the fish to take the bait first."

In the spotlight.

The auction was finally held.

Xu intends to expand his reputation so that he can gain fame.

In this Yongling Auction, apart from the highlight item that had to be auctioned, the organizer also brought out a lot of precious items, including not only the Millennium Elixir, but even the Foundation Establishment Pill.

As a result, the huge venue was packed to the brim.

Even the aisles are rarely full of people.

And Lu Zhong, relying on his cultivation in the late stage of foundation establishment, had already booked a box.

At this moment, he is secretly observing every monk who enters the field.

Suddenly, he was slightly taken aback, and said with a smile:

"The fish really took the bait!"

When the incarnation is about to be sent out, and one thing is given, let him invite the target.

After a while, two footsteps sounded outside the box.

"Please come in."

Immediately after the avatar, an elderly man walked in from the door.

Lu Zhong was looking at the old man, and the old man was also looking at Lu Zhong at the same time. The two looked at each other for a while, and it was the old man who spoke first: "This fellow Taoist, if you beat around the bush, there is no need to say more. You used the Blood Essence Treasure Pill, and it seems to be a big intention, but I don't know what use Chen's rotten life is to you?"

As the old man said, he handed out another jade box without any hesitation.

"If it's for the Golden Spirit Grass, there's no need to be so troublesome. You only need to give me a treasure pill, and it will belong to you."

But Lu Zhong didn't take the jade box, but just looked at the old man with Huafa and sighed.

"Oh, it's too late for a hero."

"You said yes, Lu Zhong?"

As soon as this remark came out, the old man with Huafa seemed to have expected it long ago, and his face did not change at all. The middle-aged man had no intention of doing anything to him before meeting him.Lu Zhong, who was already an old man, said in an extremely calm tone: "Your Excellency is unwilling to make this deal? If so, please let me leave."

"No!"

Lu Zhong smiled slightly, looking at himself in another world line, and had no intention of revealing his identity.Considering the purpose of this trip, under the shocked gaze of "Lu Zhong", he dug out a whole bottle of "Blood Flower Pill", and said:
"What I want to do with you is another deal."
