Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 56 Departure
In the next few days, Lu Zhong spent almost all of it in making talismans.

After drawing the cleansing talisman, draw the arrow-avoiding talisman, and after drawing the arrow-avoiding talisman, draw the exorcising talisman.

The spare time not drawing talismans was not wasted. It was used to review the spells that had been learned. I also took the time to buy a batch of auxiliary pills in the shop, which have the effects of restoring qi, detoxification, and healing.

During this period, there were more and more rumors about the upcoming war between Wulingmen and Qingyangmen, and there was a lot of trouble.

Finally on the tenth day, a shocking revelation broke out.

It turned out that as early as half a month ago, Wulingmen officially started a war with Qingyangmen.

Just when there was a commotion in the place, Lu Zhong had already set off with the caravan in the early morning, accompanied by many Qingliufang monks, they also followed the idea of ​​avoiding disaster, and went to Yanlingshan Fang City together.

……

The caravan that Lu Zhong was following was called "Baofanghao". It was a well-reputed caravan. He only dared to rest assured to follow after making sure that there was no problem.

The scale of Baofang is not small. There are about [-] monks with cultivation base, all of them are masters of martial arts. Nearly a thousand people.

The steward of the caravan has the highest cultivation level in the team. According to the information Lu Zhong inquired secretly, this steward named Wang Cang is not low in strength at all.

After such a long time, the cultivation base will only become higher.

The caravan has a total of twelve vans, all of which are made of iron and wood.

Each cart is one foot wide and three feet long. Naturally, such a heavy and huge cart cannot be pulled by ordinary livestock, so each cart is pulled by two bulls.

At this moment, Lu Zhong's eyes fell on the wild bull pulling the cart in front, his eyes were full of curiosity: "If you don't look at it, you don't know, so this is a spirit beast? Unexpectedly, it is so docile..."

The size of the barbarian bull is similar to that of a steel hyena pig, and they are both about two feet long and about ten feet tall.

According to the observation results of the qi-watching technique, they are obviously first-order monsters.

But it's just such a monster that is actually pulling a cart at this moment, looking like a hard-working old scalper.

"Is it because it has been domesticated into a spirit beast?" Lu Zhong guessed.

After a monster is domesticated, it can be called a spirit beast.

Spirit beasts are an indispensable part of the cultivation world. They are not only the main source of meat for monks, but also the main raw materials for making rune skins. They can also produce a large amount of refining materials, affecting all aspects of the cultivation world.

Plus purposes such as pulling cars, carrying people, etc.

It can be said that once there are no spirit beasts in the cultivation world, the operation will come to a standstill.

……

The convoy headed north, and many people joined it on the way.

They are all ordinary casual cultivators. Although they can get the qualification to travel with the caravan by paying a sum of spirit stones, they don't enjoy the treatment of sitting on a bullock cart like Lu Zhong, and can only walk honestly on their legs. .

On the first day of departure, we walked all the way on the plains with a wide view, so it was safe and sound.

In the evening, the Baofang caravan stationed at a campsite called Dingfengpo according to the established plan.

This campsite has a very wide field of vision, and you can see threats from all directions. Judging from the many charcoal ashes left on the ground, it is obvious that it is a place where people often spend the night, and there are traces of human activities everywhere.

When the carts formed a circle, suddenly a group of people came out from the dense forest in the west and approached here.

Lu Zhong was not the first to discover it. There was obviously a monk in the Baofang caravan who had practiced the Qi Watching technique. His duty was to investigate the surrounding situation, and he had issued a warning signal earlier than him.

Immediately, three loud arrows were shot out.

"Stop, what are you doing!"

With strong bows and crossbows in pieces, the caravan responded immediately, and the warriors and riders were all on guard.

As for the monks, none of them showed up.

There was a commotion in the group on the opposite side, and after a while a figure was pushed out, but it was a young man with slightly neat clothes, holding a shimmering jade tablet in his hand.

"I... I have a trade order from Dark Rock Fort, can I trade with you?"

"Throw it in and have a look." Steward Wang's voice sounded.

Lu Zhong watched from the sidelines and saw that after the caravan completed the identity verification, they really started trading with this group of people.

It is suspected that the side of the wilderness casual cultivator brought all kinds of spiritual raw materials, not some old elixir that can be used for alchemy, some collected spiritual wood and spiritual mines, and even spiritual rice and other ingredients grown by ourselves. Homemade runes.

They used these things to trade with Baofang, a small part was exchanged for spirit stones, and most of them were used to exchange for finished products such as elixirs, magic tools and talismans.

Both sides take what they want, and soon a deal will be concluded.

Before that, Lu Zhong wondered why the caravan's deeds were so regular. It turned out that it was because of this reason.

Their purpose is probably to receive goods.

However, Lu Zhong can also see that Baofang will not trade with all wilderness cultivators, but will only be willing to trade goods with comers after showing the so-called "commercial order".

The reason, because he is not a member of the caravan, so he does not know.

……

After a rest overnight, the caravan set off again in the morning.

The road ahead will not be as smooth as yesterday.

Not long after leaving Dingfengpo, they came to a rugged mountain road. In order to prevent the car from overturning, the team could only move forward slowly. The distance was only a short dozen miles, but it took three hours.

After finally finishing the walk, he entered the forest with towering ancient trees.

The giant trees here are at least surrounded by ten people, and they are often hundreds of feet high. The canopy of the trees blocks most of the sunlight, making the road under the forest look extremely gloomy.

Some strange voices sounded around the team from time to time.

If you ignore it, these voices will continue, making people panic.

But if you turn your head and look, you can't find anything, and it will make those voices even weirder and sound more creepy.

But Manager Wang of the Baofang No. ignored this and did not stop the caravan.

The deeper the team walked into the forest, the thicker the fallen leaves on the ground piled up. It was like stepping on a carpet. The rotten fallen leaves were soft and slumped. The feeling of stepping on them was very strange. Something monster lurks below.

Gradually, the ambient light becomes dimmer.

The caravan was still advancing, but Lu Zhong had already sensed something was wrong.

At the same time, the caravan monks who had never appeared before, together with the steward Wang, appeared together at this moment, and all of them had indescribably dignified expressions.

Wang Guanshi, who was wearing a fine attire, sacrificed a dharma ring at this moment, and shouted loudly:

"Guys, we're in trouble."
