Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 110

Back to the courtyard by the river.

Hong Fu and Li Hejun did not disappoint Lu Zhong, and successfully printed the five-volume talisman book, and there were no low-level mistakes such as missing pages or wrong pages.

"Very good!" Lu Zhong was never stingy with words of praise.

At the same time, the rewards that should be given will not be missed.

When the two of them saw the sumptuous dinner on the table, they both showed incredible expressions on their faces.

One Lingshi and one catty of Lingmi with green buds, the Lingmi made from it is first-class in terms of color, aroma, and taste, not to mention the plate of stewed Lingcai with pork in mud shell.

The aroma is rich and tangy, and the meat is crisp but not rotten.

Not to mention eating, just smelling it can finish a bucket of rice.

Li Hejun seems to have received a good education, so he can still maintain a little bit of the reservedness of his daughter's family, but Hongfu can't control himself at all, his saliva is already flowing, and a small puddle is about to form on the ground.

With a flick of his sleeve, Lu Zhong divided the food that belonged to the two of them.

"This is the reward for completing the task. Let's each take a bowl and go."

"Thank... Thank you, Master!" Hong Fu shouted happily.

Li Hejun next to him hesitated for a while, and thanked him in the same way.

It is said that suffering makes people mature prematurely, and she is no exception.

When thanking him, there was even an involuntary look of flattery on his face.

In this regard, Lu Zhong only saw it in his eyes, and there was no fluctuation in his heart.

He's just a tool man, how can he feel compassion?
After the two finished eating, Lu Zhong threw out another sweet date and said with a smile: "If you behave well in the future, I can give you the opportunity to practice!"

He said this mainly to Hong Fu.

As for Li Hejun, she is not a person with spiritual roots, even if she is given the method of breathing and exhaling, she cannot complete the step of drawing qi into the body, let alone formally embark on the immortal journey.

Hearing this, Li Hejun's reaction was the greatest.

She naturally understands the meaning of the word "practice", because it represents the power to avenge her father!

Hong Fu next to him was confused, and subconsciously looked at the rice bowl in his hand, and then a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Cultivation... is equal to eating delicious food!"

……

Late at night.

Lu Zhong sat cross-legged in the quiet room, his face pensive.

Once the talisman-making book is on sale, it is necessary to sell as much as possible in a short period of time.

Otherwise, when the forces in the city find out about him and start selling pirated talisman books, his sales will be seriously affected in the face of the perfect channels and huge strength of these forces.

It is even possible that the market will be cut off.

After all, Lu Zhong was a loner, and his cultivation was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining. It would be good if he could keep the profit from the talisman making book he got, and he didn't have the strength to fight piracy at all.

"Tomorrow, go to the central area. That's the best place to sell talisman-making books."

After thinking about it, he took out a Jade Ning Pill and took it.

On the way of refining the elixir, Lu Zhong couldn't help showing a worried expression.

The sixth level to the seventh level of the Qi refining period is not only the change from the mid-to-late period of Qi refining, but also the beginning of the foundation building, so this level needs to be improved, that is, the spirit that needs to be refined. The amount of power far exceeds that of other small realms before, and it can be called an exponential growth.

Due to the sharp increase in the difficulty of cultivation, there is a saying of "bottleneck period" during this period.

For monks with abundant cultivation resources, the bottleneck period can be overcome with time, but for most casual monks and some family monks, it has become an insurmountable moat.

When the difficulty of cultivation was low before, they could also rely on absorbing the aura of heaven and earth to practice hard, plus the accumulated spirit stones, and buy a pill from time to time to increase the speed of cultivation.

But once it enters the bottleneck period, the situation will be quite different.

They may still be able to maintain their Dao Xin at first, but if it takes a long time, their Dao Xin will wear down due to many factors, and instead, there will be a strange phenomenon that their strength will not advance but retreat.

On the one hand, it is the limit of lifespan. The limit lifespan of a monk during the Qi refining period is two Jiazi. Before the age of sixty is the peak period of the body, after which the physical fitness will start to decline. a decline in strength;

On the other hand, there is external interference, and the delay in breaking through the realm will inevitably frustrate people's will. Unless it is a monk with a rock-solid heart to the Tao, how many people can resist temptations such as sensuality and horses.

This is also the reason why casual cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi refining are more common, while casual cultivators in the late stage of Qi refining are rare.

Lu Zhong was naturally worried about this.

After all, he is also human, and it is impossible to remain indifferent in the face of external temptations.

The best way to break the situation is naturally to rely on the stacking of resources to quickly break through the bottleneck.

And this requires a lot of spirit stones!
……

It was only when the sky became pale that Lu Zhong had already left the house.

It is very necessary to go out so early. The central area is the commercial center of Yongling City and even the entire Yongling area. If you think of monks who want to set up a stall in the stall area, you don’t need to know that there are a lot of people.

It's late, I'm afraid I can only find a corner to set up a stall.

This is not in line with his plan to sell the talisman book quickly and in large quantities.

Take the beast car to the stall area, there are already many monks queuing at the management office.

Seeing this, Lu Zhong stepped up his pace.

A spirit stone was handed over in exchange for a stall certificate.

With years of experience in setting up stalls, he was lucky enough to grab a good position.

This place is not far from the entrance of the stall area. Although it is not the closest to the entrance, as long as a sign is put up, it will definitely attract the monks who come in.

With a few strokes of "唰唰", one sign is completed.

Then, you just need to wait for the guests to come to your door.

Soon, the first customer came to the door, a talisman maker who had just come in to set up a stall.

After listening to the introduction of the secret talisman of Qingyang, this person seemed very moved, but when he heard that the price of each talisman-making book was as high as [-] spirit stones, he immediately shook his head.

Obviously, she felt that it was expensive.

Lu Zhong didn't talk nonsense with this person, the other party was not his target customer.

One after another, the talisman makers in the stall area kept coming to ask about the price of the talisman making book.

There were quite a few people making inquiries, more than [-] people.

These are all the talisman makers who set up a stall here today. From this point, we can also get a glimpse of the prosperity of Yongling City. Relatively speaking, Yanling Mountain Fang City is far behind, even if it coincides with a grand ceremony like the Lantern Festival , and at most twelve or thirteen talisman makers will come out of the booth.

But it doesn't make sense if there are too many people who don't buy it, and none of them are sold in half a day.

Regarding this, Lu Zhong remained calm.

Soon the sky was full of red clouds, and monks wearing cassocks began to walk in here. Many of them came here to hang out. There are fewer spirit stones to buy what you like.

At this moment, Lu Zhong successfully sold the first book of making talismans.

As if it was a good omen, the second volume... the third volume was also sold out quickly.

The fourth volume was successfully sold not long after, and the seller was the young man in purple from yesterday.

After getting the talisman-making book, the young man in purple had a resentful expression on his face.

"Fellow daoist, you are too dishonest. You promised to be early tomorrow, but I have waited from midnight to dawn in Nancheng city, and still haven't seen fellow daoist come out of the stall. If it wasn't for a friend who told me, I'm afraid today's time will be too late." I also have to take a free trip."

Hearing this, Lu Zhong couldn't help laughing from the bottom of his heart.

I just said it politely and casually, but I didn't expect this person to take it seriously.

There was no shame in his heart, his face was calm and he was about to speak, but his eyes suddenly moved to the back of the purple-clothed youth, where three disciples wearing Helingzong costumes were walking quickly.

The leader was a handsome young man wearing a sapphire crown, his aura was firmer and more stable than that of other monks around him, and he was not at all vain.

His eyes fell on the Qingyang body talisman at the stall, and then he looked at the only book of talismans left next to him, and finally turned his eyes to Lu Zhong, and then cupped his hands and said:

"I'm Liu Qingxun, a disciple of the outer sect deacon of the Heling Sect. I don't know what to call this fellow Taoist?"

"Lv Zhong." Lu Zhong was startled inwardly, and said calmly.

Regarding the appearance of the three of them, he could say that he did not expect the slightest bit.

strangeness.

It's just selling talisman making books. Although it is a rare secret talisman, it shouldn't attract disciples of the sect.After all, with the ability of the sect, it is not difficult to obtain the secret talisman system of Qingyang body protection.

"It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Lu!" Liu Qingxun heard the words, saw many people around to watch the excitement, and suggested: "I don't know Fellow Daoist Lu, can we move around and talk now?"

"No problem." Lu Zhong nodded.

The reputation of the Heling Sect is not bad, and it is impossible for the disciples of the sect to cheat people away for money in full view, so it is not dangerous to go with the other party.

Put away the stall, and soon came to an elegant room in a teahouse with the other party.

As soon as he sat down, Liu Qingxun explained why he came.

However, he wanted to buy out the copyright of the talisman book directly with five thousand spirit stones.

"This..." Lu Zhong was calm on the surface, but his thoughts were churning.

Five thousand spirit stones is not a small amount in all honesty.

The thirty or fifty volumes he estimated at the beginning were actually the most ideal optimistic estimate. In fact, because of rampant piracy and the inability to maintain copyrights, he would be satisfied if he could sell twenty volumes.

But now, the other party directly offered a price that he could not refuse.

It is impossible for pies to fall from the sky, Lu Zhong always believed in this.

Secretly pinched the detection of malicious art.

No reaction at all!

"Pfft!"

Behind Liu Qingxun, a bun-faced female cultivator couldn't help laughing.The horse-faced male cultivator next to her also had an uncontrollable smile on his face.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Lu Zhong thought that he was careless.

Since the two are disciples of the sect, even if they didn't see the seal, it was not difficult to find out through the change of breath that he was casting a spell, but he ignored this blind spot.

Either way.

Learn from a pit and gain wisdom, just remember this lesson.

"Fellow Daoist Lu is worrying too much." Liu Qingxun said softly.

"Since fellow daoist is worried, let's tell the truth. In exchange for buying out the secret talisman of Qingyang, fellow daoist Lu must go to the talisman hall of our sect to teach the method of making talismans once."

It turned out that this condition was attached.

Lu Zhong thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so he nodded and agreed.

The money and the goods are settled, and a deal is concluded.

According to the agreed conditions, he needs to go to the talisman of the outer gate of Helingzong tomorrow to complete the teaching of the secret talisman of Qingyang.

He Lingzong's move was obviously a little anxious, and Lu Zhong couldn't help but link it to possible wars.

But that's not what he's most concerned about right now.

"Deacon Liu, there is one more thing I want to ask."

"Oh? But it's okay..." Liu Qingxun was unexpectedly approachable. On the contrary, the two people behind him looked a little displeased, but he stopped them all.

What Lu Zhong wanted to ask was naturally how to worship Helingzong.

Regarding this matter, although there are a lot of rumors circulating in the market, most of them are cloudy and misty. I don't know how many hearsay news are mixed in it, and it can't be as accurate as the personal answers of the Helingzong disciples.

"So it's this..." Liu Qingxun looked at the female cultivator behind him, and said with a smile, "Junior Sister Linghan, I remember that you should have a related booklet, so give one to Fellow Daoist Lu."

Seeing this, the female cultivator known as the spiritual letter took out a booklet.

Liu Qingxun took it and handed it to Lu Zhong, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Please read the content carefully, as long as casual cultivators meet the conditions, you can also have the qualifications to worship my Heling Sect. Since Fellow Daoist Lu has this ambition , I am here to wish you an early success!"

"Thank you!" Lu Zhong also smiled.

When the three of them left, he didn't waste the tea and started to read the booklet in the private room.

Just like what Liu Qingxun said just now, this booklet lists many conditions for joining the Heling Sect.

For example, if a casual cultivator has two spiritual root qualifications, or a family monk has three spiritual root qualifications, he can directly join the Heling Sect and become an outer disciple of the Heling Sect.

"Unexpectedly, different backgrounds have different requirements for qualifications."

When Lu Zhong saw this, he could understand Helingzong's intentions.

The reason why family monks with three spiritual roots can join is probably because they have the support of the family behind them, whether it is the beginning or the follow-up practice, they can get a certain amount of support from the family.

At the same time, these families often come from the multiplication of Zongmen monks, and there is always a sense of incense.

Therefore, even if the family monks have three spiritual roots, they still have the opportunity to join the Heling sect.

However, casual cultivators are different. If they only have the qualifications of the Three Spiritual Roots, it is no problem to join Qingyangmen, which is the highest sect that is not built a foundation, but it is not enough to join the Helingzong.

Just having the qualifications of the three spiritual roots is not worth cultivating in the sect.

Unless it is revealed that he has foundation building qualifications.

If one can meet the requirements of cultivating to the late stage of qi refining before the age of sixty, no matter what kind of spiritual root qualifications, one is eligible to join the Helingzong.

There is no doubt that this is the way Lu Zhong will go in the future.

If he wants to solve the hidden dangers of the Four Spirit Arts, supplement his lack of cultivation foundation, and go further on the more difficult journey of immortality in the future, joining the sect can be said to be the best way besides apprenticeship.

After carefully reading these conditions, he turned to the specific rules.

Entry requirements are well known.

The most valuable information in this booklet lies in the specific operation details of getting started.

The reason why qualifications are qualifications is because they still have to pass the screening.

With the rigid condition of practicing before the age of sixty to the late stage of Qi refining, Helingzong specially set up an entry ranking for this purpose. The final entry ranking can be obtained based on the combat power ranking of the competition and the bonus points of various bonus items. ranking.

The top ten are the monks who can worship Helingzong every year.

And what Lu Zhong has to do is to try his best to satisfy more bonus points while improving his own combat power.

Only in this way can the goal of joining the Heling Sect be achieved.
