Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 114

The gate of Helingzong's outer gate.

Lu Zhong, who bought the Heling Pill, walked out with his usual expression.

Now he is full of doubts.

"Who is this person?"

With the help of the scene backtracking, Lu Zhong knew the little action of the man just now, and he probably guessed the effect on the liquid, which should be some kind of secret mark for tracking.

Judging from this point, the other party obviously has bad intentions towards him, otherwise he would not have used this method.

Along the way, Lu Zhong kept thinking about it.

But even after looking through all the memories, he couldn't find the corresponding face.

It's just that there is an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Then next, should we lure the other party to a remote place to solve the problem, or continue to observe as if he didn't see it?" Lu Zhong preferred the former method, after all, it was a bit uncomfortable to be watched all the time.

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and walked towards Nancheng.

After walking a few streets, he had been paying attention to Lu Zhong behind him, and found that someone was following him.

A trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Since you want to court death, then I will fulfill you!
……

The ruins of Changlefang.

Since it was destroyed among the three sects, this place has been deserted.

It wasn't until the armistice that this place gradually gained some popularity.

Many mortals who couldn't afford to rent a house in the city, or poor casual cultivators, would come here to build a shack-like house, or just hide among the ruined walls, in order to temporarily have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

At the small riverside courtyard where Lu Zhong used to live, a young man in Taoist robes walked quickly at this time.

The boy looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and he still had an immature face, but there was an inadvertent expression on his brows, which was gloomy that did not match his appearance.

Looking at the exquisite wooden box sprinkled with dark perfume on the ground, his expression suddenly became ugly.

The young man thought that his actions were secretive, and he was extremely careful along the way. It is reasonable to say that he would not be discovered, but the fact was that he slapped him severely and laughed mercilessly with his mouth wide open.

At this moment, a sword shadow suddenly sprang out from the oblique ground.

The angle at which it appeared was so tricky that even if the young man discovered it immediately, he couldn't dodge it with agility, and could only actively activate the amulet on his body.

With a "buzz", the shield quickly appeared, blocking the sword shadow.

It's not over yet, another blue light was caught in the corner of the boy's eyes.

The corners of his eyes twitched wildly, and he felt a strong sense of crisis!
"Crack!"

Amid the crisp cracking sound, the protective cover made by the amulet shattered.

The young man sacrificed a shield again, but after being hit by the blue light gun, he flew out like a kite with broken strings, spat out several mouthfuls of blood in mid-air, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Lu Zhong withdrew the Wutu sharp wooden spear from the Spirit Ring, with a rare look of surprise on his expression.

"Is this the power of the spirit weapon embryo?"

Obviously the other party's aura is slightly higher than his, so it should be a Qi-refining seventh-level monk.

But in front of the Wutu sharp wooden spear, it is surprisingly fragile.

As soon as they fought, they suffered heavy injuries.

"Unfortunately, it would be great if the consumption of spiritual power was less." Lu Zhong thought a little dissatisfied.

Maybe it's because of the half-spiritual weapon, the spiritual energy consumed by the spirit ring is extremely exaggerated, like a whale sucking in the sea, fully draining half of his spiritual power, in exchange for the terrifying blow just now.

Distracting thoughts swirled in his mind for a moment, and Lu Zhong completely extinguished them.

Now is not the time to be distracted, he still has business to do now, and wants to interrogate the boy, so as to know the purpose of the other party following him.

"Shh!"

The seriously injured boy fell to the ground again because his feet were cut off.

"Come on, why are you following me?" Lu Zhong withdrew the Chi Yang Fa sword in his hand, and said with a blank expression, without any emotional fluctuations in his tone.

"Ahem! How did you find out..." the boy on the ground coughed up blood.

At this time, he suddenly discovered in despair that the blow just now was not simple.

Now there is a vicious energy like a maggot attached to the bone, wantonly destroying the internal organs and meridians of the young man, and there are signs of erosion towards the dantian of the sea of ​​​​qi.

That's why he started vomiting blood.

Lu Zhong was indifferent to this, and with a flash of Chi Yang's sword in his hand, he chopped off the opponent's arm again.

The severed arm fell to the ground with a thud, and it was a small bright red bead.

"Cough, cough, cough!" The boy coughed up blood and coughed even harder.

The spit out dark red blood was already mixed with internal organ fragments.

"You know what, I regret it now."

"Regret what?"

"Wow!" The boy spit out a big mouthful of blood again, and his face, which was as pale as gold paper, suddenly became rosy.

"I regret teaching you...

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly tilted his neck, and there was no more sound.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Lu Zhong suddenly had a guess.

Reach out and take a photo, and the storage bag is in hand.

There are not many things inside, and they are placed in different categories.

The most eye-catching thing is the hundreds of spirit stones stacked together.

Next to the pile of spirit stones, there are two He Ling Pills.

All kinds of daily necessities, dozens of talisman paper wrapped in paper, and several different talisman inks.

Bottles and jars of unknown purpose.

Pretending to be an exquisite jade box, there are three bright red balls with the words "flaming fire bomb" pasted on it.

Finally, his eyes fixed on a set of talisman making tools.

"Sure enough, it's Li Dong..." Lu Zhong murmured.

He could guess what the other party wanted to say last.

As for the original old Li Dong, why did he turn into a teenager.

If there is no accident, it should be someone who has been taken away.

I didn't continue to think about it.

Putting the corpse into the storage bag, Lu Zhong destroyed the scene again.

Leave in a hurry.

……

For several months, everything was calm.

Lu Zhongyuan thought that he would be interrogated by the law enforcement team, but unexpectedly, Li Dong's death seemed to have never happened. On the wanted list board in Nancheng City, there was no reward order issued by Helingzong.

That's what happened.

He returned to a peaceful life, and practiced spells every day besides practicing.

Thanks to the Heling Pill, the hidden dangers of the Four Spiritual Skills are temporarily lifted, and the spiritual power is no longer as violent as before, but has become so gentle that the learning progress of the spell is very fast.

On this day, a golden light shone brightly in the quiet room.

"This is the entropy light gun?"

Lu Zhong's face was reflected golden, looking at the golden light gun in his hand.

It is only a few feet long, and it is condensed after absorbing a large amount of Yang Qi.

With a light toss, the light gun hit the wall and exploded into a ball.

The temperature in the quiet room suddenly began to rise.

This is caused by the high content of yang aura.

After performing it again, after confirming that he really mastered this technique, Lu Zhongcai turned his attention to other things.

Yu Ningdan and the spirit-gathering array worked together. After burning a large number of spirit stones, his cultivation base finally showed signs of breakthrough. It is hard to say when he will break through, but it will probably be within half a year.

In this way, they might be able to catch up with this year's Helingzong Entry Ranking Tournament.

"It's time to make some preparations."

Lu Zhong didn't want to show off in the ranking competition.

The consequences of Mu Xiu Yulin are not something a casual cultivator like him who has no background can bear.

At the same time, it is also based on the consideration of less exposure of strength.

So Lu Zhong came up with the idea of ​​a puppet mechanism beast.

When beheading the old man with the ink face before, he got twenty-three puppets, and among them were eight mechanical beasts with good combat power, which could be used to deal with weaker challengers.

The way of puppets is not without its merits. During the refining period, the raw materials of various puppets and mechanism beasts are easy to obtain and the price is low, so the puppet mechanism master can quickly accumulate a large number of puppets or mechanism beasts. It caused a qualitative change in strength, and thus possessed a terrifying combat power in the Qi refining period.

It is precisely because of this that this way has become a frequent visitor in the classics, during the Qi refining period, to kill enemies by leapfrogging.

Back then, the ink-faced old man was also careless.

If he acted cautiously, how could he be dealt with face to face?
Regarding the control of puppets or mechanism beasts, when the monks in the Qi refining period cannot release their consciousness, the puppet mechanism master relies on tricks to control the machine soul or spirit pivot, which can be said to be exactly the same as controlling magic weapons.

Simple reading, Lu Zhong quickly got started.

Then it took more than a month of work, and he was able to control the three mechanism beasts proficiently.

……

To the east of Yongling City, Wangyuepo.

The reason why Lu Zhong appeared here was to test his ability to control the mechanical beast.

The cuffs were lifted slightly, and three iron blue balls slid down.

After a burst of noise, three iron wolf mechanism beasts appeared in front of them.

pinch.

In this way, communicate with the organ beast machine soul.

The machine soul is refined from the soul of living beings, and has a certain degree of autonomy, not a cold mechanical part.

After receiving the order to search for the enemy, the three iron wolves immediately dispersed.

After a while, a discovery was made.

It was a huge black-haired wild boar, almost one foot tall, and two feet long from head to tail. It was like an earthquake when it thundered.

It is not a monster, but has the possibility of transforming into a monster.

The reason why he was looking for wild beasts to practice was actually Lu Zhong's helpless move.

After all, in the Yongling area, it can be said that there are very few places where monsters can be found.

Without exception, they are all extremely far away from Yongling City.

"Thump, thump, thump!" Da Shanzhu burst out again, trying to use his weight advantage to get rid of his opponent.

But under Lu Zhong's control, the three iron wolves sometimes gather and sometimes disperse.

Executing the tactics of exhausting the enemy, constantly luring the wild boar to attack, consuming its physical strength little by little.

Finally, the boar couldn't move.

Lu Zhong shook his head, and drew out a formula to let the iron wolf mechanism beast end it.

Then he flipped his hand over, and a gray jade ball appeared.

This jade ball is a sacrificial vessel, which has the function of absorbing souls.

Input spiritual power into it to activate it, the jade ball spun around, and circles of gray spiritual light rippled, covering the body of the boar that had just died, and a white soul body was quickly drawn out from it.

This white soul body is the spirit of the wild boar.

The sacrificial vessel quickly sucked the essence into the ball, and after a flash of spiritual light, spit it out again.

After some "processing" of the sacrificial vessel, the wild boar spirit has changed drastically.

Originally it looked like a mini boar, but now it has become a milky white ball the size of a fist, without a trace of the original appearance, and has become the material for making machine souls.

Put away the soul beads, Lu Zhong continued to look for training targets.

……

For three days in a row, the wild beasts near Wangyuepo were in bad luck.

After some "mopping up", Lu Zhong got a hundred soul beads in his hand, except for the necessary consumption for repairing the machine soul, there are still ninety-three left, which can meet his requirements for refining the machine soul.

Accept it as soon as you see it, he is going back to Yongling City.

Just two steps away, Lu Zhong's complexion changed slightly, and he put away all the mechanism beasts.

Turning sideways, using the second technique of holding breath and hiding, hiding behind a rock.

Not long after, there was a sound of fighting.

It is the disciples of Helingzong who are being hunted down.

Following him were three men in gray clothes.

These three people's moves are extremely fierce, and they must attack the vital points.

Under their siege, even though the disciples of the Heling Sect were in the late stage of Qi refining, they were still no match for the three gray-clothed men in the middle stage of Qi refining, and their already serious injuries continued to worsen.

The disciples of the Heling Sect fought and retreated, their eyes were full of despair at the moment, and they kept uttering words of begging for mercy.

The three gray-clothed men ignored it.

He has been chasing and beating fiercely, as if he must kill the opponent.

Lu Zhong hid behind the rocks, watching the two sides fight further and further with cold eyes.

It's not relative, and it doesn't have enough benefits.

Why call him out?
Coming out of his hiding place, when Lu Zhong was passing by a meadow, he suddenly stretched out his hand from the front left to take a picture.

It is a booklet with three large characters written on the cover.

"Healing technique?"

After turning over two pages, his expression suddenly became exciting.

"It's actually a rare secret technique that can enhance spiritual consciousness!"

This seems outrageous?
Just now while Lu Zhong was hiding, he saw a disciple of the Heling Sect secretly drop something, so he walked over curiously and photographed it, completely unaware that it was such a rare secret technique.

The reason why monks in the Qi refining period cannot release their spiritual consciousness is that their spiritual consciousness is not strong enough.

And the technique of nourishing the spirit can enhance the consciousness.

That is to say, he may be able to release his spiritual consciousness during the Qi refining period.

If this can really be achieved, then Lu Zhong will have a huge advantage in strength against the monks who are also in the Qi refining stage in the future.

"With such a treasure in his body, it's no wonder the man in gray is determined to kill that Helingzong disciple."

Thinking of this, Lu Zhong took a deep breath and calmed down.

Changing the direction, he no longer aimed directly at Yongling City, but planned to circle around outside before going back, so as to avoid being analyzed by the man in gray and lay an ambush on the way.

……

When the lanterns first came on, Lu Zhong finally returned to Yongling City.

It's another Lantern Festival.

At this time, whether it was the deep house compound or the ruins of the ruins, all the lanterns were lit up.

The lights are dotted and gathered into an ocean of lights.

Lanterns entrust people's wishes and symbolize the longing for the dead, and lighting them can bring comfort to people's hearts.

Back in the courtyard, there are already many lanterns hanging in the courtyard.

Seeing Lu Zhong coming back, Li Hejun secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, smiling all over his face.

His expression was full of anticipation.

Next to him, Hong Fu was still as heartless as before.

She just wrote down her wish to eat more good things in the future on the wishing paper.

When eating, three people sit at the same table.

This is the custom of the Lantern Festival.

Lu Zhong used to celebrate festivals alone, so he was not used to it for a while.

After eating, he returned to the quiet room, preparing to study the technique of cultivating the mind.

Like this kind of secret technique, if you practice it earlier, you will form an advantage earlier.

Otherwise, when it comes to the foundation building period, it will only be that the spiritual consciousness is slightly stronger than others, and it will no longer form a huge advantage that no one else has.
