Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 113 Doubt
When the exchange meeting was over, Lu Zhong bid farewell and left.

After taking a few steps, he pinched the detection of malicious spell by the way, but there was no response.

Obviously, that kind of bloody pursuit of treasures did not happen to him.

This is also normal, Leng Cui is a prominent figure in Yongling City, the monks she invited to the exchange meeting are not cats or dogs, there is no possibility of letting thieves get in.

Walking in the rain, Lu Zhong found that the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

When it came, it was already called a torrential rain, but now it is like a river pouring down.

If he hadn't turned on the water pattern cover, he would have been soaked from head to toe.

……

Return to the Xihe private courtyard soon.

With white clouds here, the courtyard is still dry, unlike the damp outside.

The courtyard was quiet, and the printing machine was not working. There were dozens of thin books piled up next to it. It was obvious that the two women had completed their tasks and returned to their respective rooms to practice exercises.

As for the spirit-seeking mouse, it hid and slept in the soil hole in the corner of the courtyard as usual.

Through the courtyard, Lu Zhong entered the quiet room.

Having had experience in arranging magic circles many times, he quickly set up the spirit-gathering array.

Insert a spirit stone into the spirit-gathering array, and the spirit-gathering array immediately starts to run with a "buzzing" sound. The aura with a lot of impurities in the spirit stone has been transformed, and its purity is no less than the aura of heaven and earth. Faintly still slightly better.

Trying to absorb refining was actually three times faster than usual penance.

Although the growth rate of cultivation base is not as fast as taking Yu Ning Dan, it can reach half of the level.

Lu Zhong was overwhelmed with surprise in his heart, secretly thinking that he really bought the Spirit Gathering Formation right.

Without further hesitation, he inserted eight more spirit stones into the spirit-gathering array to make it transform at the fastest speed.

During this period, the spirit stone was continuously consumed, and his cultivation base was also rapidly improving.

It wasn't until dark that Lu Zhong stopped still.

It's not that you can't continue to practice, but the number of exercises per day is limited. Even if you practice the Linghuan Dharma Body, the strength of your meridians is different from the past.

In order to improve the efficiency of cultivation base, it is best to reserve part of the surplus for refining elixir.

……

In the following time, Lu Zhong spent all his time in retreat.

In my spare time, I will give pointers to the two women.

Although the purpose is to cultivate tool people, tool people must also have the power to protect themselves, otherwise one will die accidentally,

Wouldn't he be wasting his time?
At the same time, the three wars have also entered a fierce stage.

The front line of Hanshan has long been a mess, especially the contested areas of Jufengguan and Qingsong Road, which were blown into a piece of scorched earth by both sides. I don't know how many monks died there, but I think there must be a lot of them.

As for Yongling City, it is still in turmoil.

In order to achieve Helingzong's goal of destroying the potential of war, the major workshops have always been targeted, and the two sides have fought fiercely more than once for their respective purposes.

In this way, the time came to late autumn.

Perhaps because the three wars entered into a stalemate, Yongling City suddenly calmed down.

Not only was there no fighting outside, but even the turmoil in the city subsided, and there were also rumors that the two sides were about to negotiate a peace, which seemed to be true.

Lu Zhong was walking on the street, and everywhere he saw was devastated.

Among the rubble and ruins, there are still bones that have not been cleaned up in time, or have rotted and maggoted, or are blue and white, so that there is a strong smell of corpses in the air.

At this time, Yongling City is no longer as prosperous as it was when it first came.

Suddenly, there was a fast horse galloping in the distance, with gongs and drums clanging.

"Good news, the war is over!"

The crowd who had been pawing at the ruins suddenly changed their numb expressions when they heard the news.

"The war is over?"

A mortal in ragged clothes, with tears welling up in his eyes.

It was not joy, but uncontrollable grief.

His parents, even his children, and everything he had worked hard for half his life, were all destroyed by this war.

Even if the war is over, it doesn't mean anything.

"Da da da……"

The fast horse stopped in front of Lu Zhong, and a young man in cloth clothes jumped off the horse and saluted him respectfully.

"Master Immortal, the war is over."

"In the city of Jufengguan, the three sects have signed an armistice treaty."

armistice treaty.

Hearing this, Lu Zhong thought to himself, isn't this just a piece of waste paper?
It should be that the war has entered a stalemate, and both sides are unwilling to shed unnecessary blood, so they choose to make peace temporarily.

As for the future, I'm afraid there will be more fights.

After all, the conflict that caused the great war, that is, the matter that Helingzong continued to suck blood from the territory of Jinhongzong and Luoyunzong by virtue of the scale advantage of Yongling City, has not yet been resolved.

"A truce is fine, if the fight continues, I'm afraid I won't even be able to buy pills."

Lu Zhong took out five talisman papers as a reward for the young man.

……

When he came to a spell shop, Lu Zhong was going to choose a few more attack spells.

There is a way to not overwhelm yourself with too many skills. You may not be able to use the spells you learn more, but you can enrich your attack methods so that you don't have to use Qingyang Fire Rain Technique and Chi Yangfa Sword Technique all the time.

It's not that the power of these two spells can't keep up with their cultivation, but that they are extremely easy to be targeted.

For example, if you prepare a water attribute defensive magic weapon, using the principle of water and fire to counteract each other, you can offset a lot of its power, and then greatly reduce the effect of this technique.

For another example, if one could get the legendary Lingbao "Fire Shield", it would even make the Qingyang Fire Rain Technique completely ineffective.

Although it is impossible for someone to use Lingbao to deal with an ant casual cultivator.

But no matter how small the odds are, it is possible.

Be cautious. Be cautious.

Lu Zhong quickly chose his favorite spell, closed the spell catalog, and said to the shopper, "How many spirit stones are there for these three spells and the corresponding experience book?"

"Fellow Daoist, the total is one hundred and eighty-seven spirit stones."

"Wipe a change, one hundred and fifty."

"This..." Zhike smiled wryly, the change was too big.

After some bargaining, the price was finally reduced by seven spirit stones.

Lu Zhong finally bought three spells at a price of one hundred and eighty spirit stones.

Entropy Light Gun, a yang-attribute spell, can condense yang energy into a long spear. Although it is not effective against all kinds of creatures, it can cause huge damage if used on various evil monsters and magic repairs. The effect is better than that of exorcism charms It is also necessary to strengthen the number of chips.

Fajianshu, the original version of Chiyangfajianshu, is famous for its great power. When used at the right time, it can have unexpected effects. It is a classic spell recorded in various classics that the weak can defeat the strong.

Iron Body, an auxiliary spell, can make the body as hard as iron.

After handing over the spirit stone, he turned and went out.

After a while, the Zhike behind the counter thought of something, looking at the shopkeeper who had just come out of the backstage, his cheeks were slightly flushed.

The usage of this iron body technique is usually not very serious.

Perhaps because the war was over, there were more pedestrians on the street.

On Lu Zhong's return journey, although all he saw along the way was plain, and many people kept crying, but compared with the chilling and tense atmosphere during the war, after all, it was a little more humane.

……

In the middle of the night, Lu Zhong was still sitting cross-legged in the quiet room.

There were words in his mouth, and his hands kept making fingerprints.

As he moved, a golden light began to condense in front of him, the source of which was the Sunshine Stone powder on the ground.

This process lasted for less than a breath, and the condensed golden light suddenly collapsed, and exploded into a halo with a "bang", and the excessive yang energy raised the temperature of the room a lot.

Spellcast failed.

Lu Zhong was not surprised by this.

Although low-level spells are all inferences, they cannot be mastered in a day.

"Tuk Tuk..." There was a knock on the door.

"Master, it's time to eat." Hong Fu Nuo Nuo's voice came.

Since moving to Xihefang, the two girls have gradually taken on the role of maids. Not only are they responsible for the daily cleaning of the private courtyard, but they also cook three meals a day, saving Lu Zhong a lot of work.

Get up, pinch the road to detect malicious.

It is said that guarding against others is indispensable, and it is right to be more cautious.

Seeing no response, Lu Zhong got up.

He was undoubtedly the only one at the table at mealtimes.

The rice is still the best green bud spirit rice, even if the person who cooks it is not a spirit chef, it is still fragrant and delicious.As for the next meal, there are all kinds of pickled products and a fresh spirit fish just caught from the river.Affected by the three wars, the breeding of spirit beasts in Yongling City has been seriously affected, and it is estimated that it will take some time to recover.

Soon, Lu Zhong stopped the bowl and chopsticks.

The aura contained in these meals is not too much for a monk at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he only prepares it as a way of life, so as not to make the life of cultivating immortals too boring.

"The two of you have encountered difficulties in your practice recently. If you have any, you can talk about it now."

"Yes, master!" Hong Fu's eyes lit up, and he replied joyfully.

Lu Zhong had naturally experienced the problems she encountered, and Hong Fumao suddenly understood after a few words of advice.

"Thank you, Master, for your advice!"

Immediately, Lu Zhong shifted his gaze to Li Hejun.

"What about you?"

Li Hejun, who kept his head down, trembled at this moment, covered his heart and said in a panic, "No, I haven't encountered any difficulties yet."

But as soon as the words came out, she immediately regretted it.

Looking up again, where is the figure of Lu Zhong?

……

In the quiet room, Lu Zhong was already sweating.

"What's the problem? Why did the spiritual conflict suddenly intensify?"

While reconciling the spiritual power, he was analyzing the reason.

Was it the meal that they ate just now that caused the spiritual power conflict to intensify, and Hong Fu and the others wanted to harm themselves?

Or is it a problem with the Four Spiritual Art itself?

After the spiritual conflict in his body was temporarily suppressed, Lu Zhong began to rewind the scene.

After half an hour, he opened his eyes.

The reason still lies in the Four Spiritual Skills. In fact, there were signs of the conflict a few days earlier, but he hadn't noticed it until today.

"Hiss, it's difficult!"

Lu Zhong's complexion was uncertain, and he finally decided to go to Lan Yuming tomorrow.

The other party still owed him a favor, and it was time to repay it.

With the help of the other party, maybe he can learn the reason of his problem from Helingzong.

……

Early the next morning, Lu Zhong went out early.

Coming to Miaoyinfang, this place is also full of ruins, and like other places in the city, there is a stench of southern temperate corpses in the air.

After handing over the greeting card, he soon saw Lan Yuming.

The other party was lying on the bed at this time, the smell of medicine in the room was strong and pungent, it might have become a medicine jar.

Indistinctly, a rancid stench could be smelled.

After hearing Lu Zhong's intention, Lan Yuming ordered the maid to help her up.

"Cough cough... I can't give the answer to the problem encountered by fellow Daoist Lu, but since it is a question of the spiritual power conflict of the four spiritual arts, this token you...cough cough cough, you take this token , with it, you can enter the north outer gate of the city, there is a place that sells Heling Pill, as long as you take the Heling Pill, the problems of fellow Taoists should be fine."

"Thank you!" Lu Zhong cupped his hands.

After getting the token, he didn't say anything, and took the initiative to bid farewell to Lan Yuming and leave.

Lan Yuming was seriously injured at the moment, and it was time for him to recuperate, and the favor he owed had already been repaid, so he didn't want to say any more polite words to keep him.

Going out, Lu Zhong headed north of the city.

As the outer gate of the Heling Sect, the buildings on the north side of the city are surprisingly complete.

With the token, he successfully entered the outer door of Helingzong.

After spending a spirit stone, I learned the destination from a servant.

Although it was not the first time he had come here, the sights he saw along the way still made Lu Zhong feel a burst of novelty.

For example, the giant puppet pulling the cart with heavy supplies.

The puppet was in the shape of a human being, and the cart that shook the ground was in its hands, and it was effortless to pull it up, which made him interested in the way of the puppet, and had the idea of ​​studying it.

On the road, you can also see unknown creations floating in the air, exuding rippling spiritual light, which look really beautiful, but whose specific functions are unknown, giving people a strong sense of danger.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, Lu Zhong came to a large hall.

Looking up at the plaque, the three characters "Common Affairs Palace" are written on it with iron and silver hooks. I don't know who wrote it, but it actually gives people a coercive aura. Looking at it more often can make people's eyes hurt.

Without looking any further, he stepped in.

There were not many people in the hall, only one Heling Sect disciple was sleeping soundly at his desk.

Inexplicably, Lu Zhong felt that this person looked familiar.

Xu Shi noticed that someone was coming in, and the Heling Sect disciple raised his head, first rubbed his sleepy eyes, his expression seemed a little dissatisfied, and it took him a long time to look at the person coming.

Seeing this, he was immediately stunned.

The sluggish state lasted only a very short time, and this person recovered quickly, so it looked more like a slight pause, but the cautious Lu Zhong keenly noticed something was wrong.

In order to prevent being noticed, he didn't take another look at the disciple of the Heling Sect, but pretended nothing happened.

"I've met fellow Taoist, may I ask if there is any He Ling Pill for sale here?"

The disciple of the Heling Sect who looked like a teenager smiled on his face when he heard the words: "Yes."

As he spoke, he fumbled for the storage bag on his waist.

At this time, his eyes raised inadvertently, and he found that Lu Zhong was not looking at this side.

The Heling Sect disciple quickly took out a wooden box, opened a small jade bottle in a blind spot, sprinkled a few drops of liquid on the wooden box, and then handed out the wooden box containing the Heling Pill.

"The price of this pill is fifty spirit stones."

"Give."

Lu Zhong didn't say anything, his face was as calm as when he came in, and he directly took out a bag of Lingshi and handed it out.

His behavior was very normal, so normal that it couldn't be more normal, so that this disciple of the Heling Sect couldn't even notice that Lu Zhong, who was opposite him, had already become suspicious.

After going out for a while, he left.
