Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 97
"Master Lu Fu, you can talk about the business slowly. Drinking tea is the most important thing now."

Gao Xuan rolled up his sleeves, stood up from his seat, and took the initiative to lift the teapot to pour tea for Lu Zhong, "You're welcome, if Master Lu Fushi hadn't come this time, then Yunxi Spring Tea is not allowed to drink."

After that, the two of them stopped putting on airs, and you shared a cup of spirit tea with each other.

Lu ** drank four cups, equivalent to two months of penance.

With this experience, he finally understood why some monks in this book can make great progress in cultivation just by drinking tea every day.

Only through personal experience can one know that this is not the nonsense of the writers, it is clearly a portrayal of their boring life, but the monks who read the book cannot understand it.

"Good stuff, it's a pity that each person is only allowed to entertain once in the pavilion..."

Gao Xuan put down the empty teacup, his expression still unfinished.

After drinking the spirit tea, it's time to talk about business.

"What do fellow daoists decide?" Gao Xuan looked at Lu Zhong.

Lu Zhong already had the answer in his heart, and said bluntly: "I don't know how Lu can become the guest minister of Wanfa Pavilion?"

"It's simple." Gao Xuan didn't mention the matter of the book, as if it had never happened, he turned his hand and took out a piece of amber, carved with water and fire cloud patterns on the surface, and put the token with the word "Keqing" around it. on the desktop.

Clearing his throat, he began to explain the specific matters.

"With regard to the position of guest minister of Wanfa Pavilion, according to the rules set by the cabinet, with Lu Daoyou's current mid-stage cultivation base of Qi refining, he can only temporarily be wronged to be the guest minister of Amber. Three shots are required, and the contribution points for the extra shots will be calculated separately."

"As for the specific use of the contribution points, apart from using them to exchange for the skills and spells of this pavilion, you can also exchange them for spirit stones at a ratio of one to one, or after accumulating enough contribution points, you can choose as follows Formally join Wanfa Pavilion."

"In this regard, fellow daoists, do you have any doubts about this?"

Lu Zhong shook his head, these were the same as he knew, and he had already been mentally prepared.

"If not, fellow daoist can accept this amber token. In this way, he will be regarded as serving as the guest secretary of this pavilion. When a fellow daoist needs to take action later, this pavilion will issue a notice in advance."

Hearing this, Lu Zhong accepted the amber token.

After exchanging pleasantries with Gao Xuan for a while, and exchanging some experience in cultivation, he took his leave and left Wanfa Pavilion.

……

In the evening three days later, Lu Zhong came to the outskirts of Youyun Valley.

Seeing that the sky was about to darken, for the sake of safety, he did not choose to continue to go deep into the valley, but found a hidden cave to rest for a night, so as to avoid the most dangerous time in the wilderness, and wait until the sunrise tomorrow to release the search engine. The spirit mouse seeks the spirit.

The location of the cave is good. It is located on a cliff more than ten feet above the ground, and there is an ancient pine tree at the entrance of the cave.

Such a hidden cave is extremely difficult to find from the outside.

If Lu Zhong hadn't happened to land on the ancient pine with his light body technique, he wouldn't have been able to find it.

He pinched the road to detect maliciousness, in case there was something malicious hidden in the cave, and seeing that there was no feedback in his heart, he sat cross-legged on the flattened ground and closed his eyes to rest, preparing to sit like this until the sunrise.

At night, the mountain wind roared, and the sound came into the cave one after another.

Recalling that a large number of mortal monks died here, it is inevitable to remind people of the sound of ghosts crying.

"There really aren't ghosts, are there?"

For the sake of caution, Lu Zhong chose to take out dozens of exorcising talismans, and performed the three techniques of holding breath and hiding and watching Qi one after another, and then stared blankly at the dark night of the green fire outside, in case any ghosts suddenly broke in.

Under the moonlight, Youyun Valley looks even more gloomy than during the day.

Especially the will-o'-the-wisps floating in the air, affected by the strong and extremely dark energy here, become brighter and brighter in the gray mist in the valley, as if they really have life.

Then the dark clouds covered the moon, and before you knew it, it was the middle of the night.

At this time, two auras suddenly appeared in the vision.

Judging from the movements, it should be two monks, both of whom are in the middle stage of Qi refining.

For some reason, he felt that one of the slender figures looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

The two jumped and moved along the ruins of the valley, and finally landed in a ruin.

"These two people, why are they still running outside at night?" Lu Zhong muttered in his heart, while secretly raising his vigilance.

In order to avoid being discovered by the two people not far away, he used the second skill of holding breath and hiding to the extreme, and then lay down at the entrance of the cave to observe the movements of the people who came, wanting to know their purpose of coming here.

"Could it be that you came here for the treasure left by the evil cultivator?" Lu Zhong guessed in his heart while watching.

After the evil cultivation in Youyun Valley was destroyed, rumors have been circulating in the market.

According to rumors, Lu Ya, the head of the evil cultivator of Youyun Valley, discovered the veins of spirit stones in the valley a long time ago, and has been secretly sending his cronies to mine them. After he was killed by the Jinhong Sect's foundation establishment, the spirit stones mined were not transferred. Go, to this day is stored in the hidden place in the valley.

There are several versions of similar rumors in Yanlingshanfang City.

It's just that the content of the relic has become a peerless skill that can reach true immortals, or a foundation building pill that can make people 100% successful in building a foundation.

What's even more outrageous is that there are still people who swear that Lu Ya once imprisoned a female cultivator who looks like a fairy in the Youyun Valley, and if someone can rescue her, he will be able to win the heart of a beauty.

Lu Zhong scoffed at this rumor, thinking that it was just too much reading of the story of human love.

In the ruins, the two chatted.

"If my concubine remembers correctly, the hidden entrance should be near here, and then I'll ask Fellow Daoist Fang." A somewhat familiar female voice floated over on the night wind.

Lu Zhong was a little surprised when he heard this. Could it be that there is really a treasure left by evil cultivators here?

"Leave it on me! Fellow Daoist Bai, stand aside first, let me take a look first." A confident male voice sounded.

Immediately afterwards, he flipped his hand and took out a compass, and began to chanting spells.

Lu Zhong, who was in the distance, saw that the starting method of this person's spell was the same as that of the Qi Wang technique, but the subsequent pinching technique was very different, and it looked more like the Kanyu technique used by the formation master.

"Oops, I won't be found, will I?"

His heart tightened, and he stepped up to run the second technique of restraining breath and hiding.

"Huhuhu..."

At this time, a gust of mountain wind howled past.

The bright moon, which was originally shrouded in dark clouds, also emerged from the heavy clouds, wisps of clear moonlight shone down, completely revealing the faces of the two people in the camp, and Lv Zhong was so shocked that he almost bit his own tongue.

"How could it be her!"

Isn't this Bai Xiaohan?Why did she appear here, and the man in brocade clothes next to him, Lu Zhong remembered that this person was a casual cultivator like himself, surnamed Fang and named Yunjing, who set up stalls in the stall area all the year round, relying on arranging simple magic circles for people for a living.

"Strange, why did the two appear here?"

Lu Zhong watched intently, feeling more and more puzzled.

"I found it, it's here! Hey, something seems wrong..." Fang Yunjing stopped his hands and was about to turn around, but there was a pain in his neck, followed by a whirlwind.

Looking at the headless corpse spouting blood and falling to the ground, Bai Xiaohan kept smiling during the process.

Lu Zhong, who had witnessed this scene completely, was so shocked that he couldn't speak at the moment.

incredible!

Could this be Bai Xiaohan's true face?

I thought that the two of them came here to find the legendary treasure left by the evil cultivator in the room, but I didn't expect that I guessed wrong from the beginning to the end.

Once again, he had a new understanding of the sinister hearts of people in the cultivation world.

After some searching, Bai Xiaohan took away Fang Yunjing's storage bag and all valuables on his body.

After finishing all this, she chanted the spell and condensed a fireball bomb, which fell on the corpse with a flick of her slender long finger, and completed the steps of destroying the corpse with incomparable proficiency.

Then Bai Xiaohan left.

For the sake of prudence, Lu Zhong chose to stay where he was, until the white belly appeared in the sky, and then he came down from the cave where he was hiding.

When he came to the ruins, he looked at the ashes on the ground and fell into deep thought.

Shaking his head, Lu Zhong pinched his hand and performed the lightness technique, and after a few jumps he disappeared.

……

A remote place in Youyun Valley.

Lu Zhong waved his traditional Chinese medicine hoe and dug out a long green vine.

"The green jade vine has three knots on the surface, which means that the vine is at least [-] years old and can be used to refine Baicaolu. According to the market price, it can be sold for at least thirty-five spirit stones."

After collecting such a elixir, he still couldn't be happy.

The scene from last night was still replaying in my mind over and over again.

At this time, there was a rustling of grass leaves.

"Someone!" Lu Zhong immediately noticed.

Alone in the wilderness, even if he was thinking about something, he was always paying attention to the movement around him. His eyes moved away from Youyun Valley, and two figures appeared in his vision.

They are a man and a woman, both of whom are in the middle stage of Qi refining.

"The environment here is good, and the location is remote, I think I'll choose this place!" A plump female cultivator said coquettishly, she touched the waist of the fellow male cultivator, intending to undress him.

"Don't worry, this place is not safe!" The male repairman said so, but his hands betrayed him.

"..." Lu Zhong.

It turned out to be a pair of wild mandarin ducks.

But, in this kind of place...is it really good?
At least as far as he saw during his spiritual search, there were at least three traces of monsters here, and it could be seen from the thin monster energy still permeating in the air that they were active here very frequently.

Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to be rich, Lu Zhongcai didn't have any interest in seeing the erotic palace. After all, it's better to practice this kind of thing.
So, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Ah!" A scream came from behind.

Startled, Lu Zhong put on a defensive posture and looked in the direction of the two behind him.

A nearly ten feet tall monster that looks like a dace carp, but is actually composed of countless rotting branches, with no facial features and limbs visible on the moss-covered body surface, and a wriggling monster that moves like maggots quietly appeared. At this time, it has emerged from its black hole A glistening green beam of light shot out from his mouth, piercing through the pair of wild mandarin ducks like skewers.

"When exactly..."

There was a stir in Lu Zhong's heart. He remembered that he had been observing the surroundings with the qi-watching technique, but even under the current cautious situation, he did not realize when this beast appeared.

"Has it been lurking here all this time, or has it been concealed from the detection of Qi Wang?" His thoughts tend to be the latter.

It is specifically mentioned in the spell experience book of the qi-watching technique that certain types of monsters have talents similar to the breath-holding technique, and they can use this to escape the detection of the qi-watching technique, maybe this one in front of them is the one.

Lu Zhong's breathing gradually became short as he glanced at the monster that was chewing on the bodies of the two of them.

No wonder he was excited, it was because the monster in front of him was too valuable.

As for monsters whose talent is restraining breath, their animal skins are excellent materials for making robes. The effect of engraving the magic circle of "breathing restraint" on them is very good, and they are usually made into expensive middle-grade vestments.

Immediately, he had a decision in his mind.

While it was still eating, Lu Zhong drew out the Golden Biting Sword and moved slowly.

Carefully, a little closer.

……

The distance was less than thirty feet, and the monster seemed to sense something, and began to become restless. The branch-like growths on its body stood up and rubbed against each other, making a series of rustling noises.

After a few breaths, it suddenly stopped eating and raised its head.

The black hole-like mouth twisted, as if looking around.

Seeing that it was about to "see" his side, no matter whether he would be exposed because of this, Lu Zhong decided not to continue lurking.

He took a deep breath and pinched the sword art with his left hand.

"Whoosh!" The sharp blade pierced through the air.

Under the control of the sword formula, the Golden Biting Sword shot out like an arrow that left the string.

At the same time, a spiritual wind of spells was generated around Lu Zhong's body, and the vestment he was wearing was also shining with spiritual light, obviously the magic power of avoiding wind had been activated.

When the last Dharma sound fell, he suddenly started to accelerate, and a spider web crack appeared on the ground under his feet.

"Tread, step, step!"

After only three ups and downs, Lu Zhong had already rushed to the front of the monster.

When it spit out a beam of light and bounced off the Golden Devouring Sword, azure blue light began to emerge in its hand, which soon condensed into a dharma sword.

In an instant, nine swords were slashed out one after another, and a large number of "branches" were cut off.

What surprised Lu Zhong was that he had cut into the monster's body to a depth of seven feet, and was almost cutting it right through, but the last sword still didn't feel the sensation of piercing into the flesh, and it felt exactly like It's chopping down stumps.

Tumbling to avoid the beam of light swept by the monster beast, Lu Zhong retreated quickly by relying on his lightness technique.

During the process, he quickly made a formula and recited the mantra.

Since it was a monster without flesh and blood, and there were no materials on its body to make robes, he naturally didn't need to keep his hands from using spells, so he opened the distance and directly bombarded him with the Qingyang Fire Rain Technique.

There was a roar of fireballs, and twenty-seven fireballs bombarded them in turn.

The unknown monster wailed several times and died in the scorching flames.

In the field of vision of the qi-watching technique, the blood red representing the spirit energy of the demon is rapidly dissipating.

At this time, Lu Zhong let out a sigh, opened the protective cover of the little earth spirit ring on his right hand, jumped into the raging fire, and picked up a shiny green crystal with his body.

Jumping out of the fire again, he looked curiously at the crystals he picked up just now.

"what is this?"
