Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 126 Shining Golden Sword

Early the next morning, Lu Zhong rented a red-tailed vulture and set off to participate in the auction.

The distance of a hundred miles was only half an hour, and soon fell in Yongling City.

After the war, Yongling City became more and more prosperous day by day. Not only did it return to the old city full of neon lights and bustling streets, but there were faint signs of surpassing the past.

It's just that the second battle of the three sects is destined to break out, and this scene is destined to not last long.

Lu Zhong shook his head and walked towards the auction in the central area.

When we arrived here, we could see that there were many monks waiting, all of them came to participate in this auction, and almost all of them wore cassocks, which showed their financial resources.

While waiting, he listened to other people's chats by the way, chatting to relieve boredom.

"Fellow Daoist Xiong, I heard that there will be a special session on pills in hall No. [-] today. I wonder if it's true or not?" A hale and hearty old man clasped his hands to the thin monk next to him and asked.

The Yongling City Auction House is not small, and there are many spirit resources that need to be auctioned. Therefore, it is divided into multiple halls on weekdays to auction various items separately, but such a temporary special sale is very rare.

That's why old people ask people about it.

The thin and weak monk was well-informed, he smiled and confirmed: "Yes, I heard that there are ten bottles of secret grain pills. Later, brother Zhong will share two bottles with me, and I hope to break through to the ninth floor with it."

Soon, the auction house will open to the public.

Entering inside is a corridor, with several small doors on the left and right, with numbers one to eight written on them. Lu Zhong didn't even look at them, and walked straight to the door in the middle.

This is the venue for today's annual auction.

Go inside and come to the promenade leading to the venue, halfway there is a huge counter.

The counter is where you buy tickets, which you must have if you want to participate in the auction.

"Fellow Daoist, do you need a private room? As a disciple of the Heling Sect, we can provide it at half price. The minimum cost is five spirit stones. This kind of private room has all the functions of isolating the spiritual consciousness, but the space is slightly smaller, and it can also be used as a private room." It has the effect of protecting privacy." A female nun behind the counter recommended.

Lu Zhong thought about it, and decided to book a room, after all, the price is not expensive.

"Then give me one."

As he spoke, he handed out five spirit stones to the other party.

After paying the money, a young maid walked by, leaned forward and said, "Master Immortal, please follow me."

Follow the other party all the way, enter from an intersection on the side of the promenade, and after a few steps, you will arrive at a box.

Entering inside, Lu Zhong looked it over and was quite satisfied with the furnishings inside.

Sit down and pick up the auction list on the table.

The list is full of goods that will be auctioned today, from high-level formations to fine instruments, both pills and talismans, as well as various precious spiritual materials and elixir, all of which are hard to find outside.

After searching for a while, he found what he wanted to shoot.

The Shining Gold Sword, a high-grade magic weapon, is in the middle of the list.

"Exquisite fire magic sword, this time it is really right!"

Looking down, there are all kinds of treasures, such as the second-level top-grade magic circle, the Bitao Formation, the Maidan that can protect the heart when the foundation establishment fails, and the final treasure - the Foundation Establishment Pill.

After staring at the three characters for a long time, Lu Zhong moved away.

Foundation Establishment Pill, now he hasn't saved enough spirit stones, and he still can't afford them.

……

After drinking tea in the box for a while, the auction will start soon.

According to the order on the list, each auction item appeared in turn, or was scrambled for a good price, or no one cared about it and finally passed the auction, the atmosphere of the venue gradually became more and more heated under the leadership of the host. .

"Nine hundred and seventy spirit stones, congratulations to this fellow daoist for successfully filming the volume of Hunyuan Gong!" The host shouted excitedly.

Lu Zhong picked up his teacup and took a sip.

This Hunyuan Kungfu is considered a good one. Not only does it have no obvious side effects, it can be cultivated to the alchemy stage.

Therefore, it is not expensive to sell nearly a thousand spirit stones.

The auction is still going on, and the monks participating in the auction have their own purposes. There are some monks who come here specially for a certain treasure, and some monks who come here to watch the excitement because they are too bored.

During the process, people continued to enter and exit.

Lu Zhong has been drinking tea, leaning on the comfortable bench, waiting quietly.

Soon, the shining golden sword appeared.

"The Shining Gold Sword, a brand-new high-grade magic weapon, has no wear and tear. It is produced in the Yan Clan's workshop in the city. It is the painstaking work of Master Yan Erosion. Melting gold and selling iron is no problem..." The host introduced earnestly, trying his best for his commission.

"The starting price is [-] spirit stones, and each increase must not be less than [-] spirit stones. Interested fellow daoists can bid now!"

"A thousand spirit stones!"

"One thousand and ten!"

The Shuojin Sword was immediately known to be a high-quality magic weapon, so it attracted many people to bid for it.

You fought over each other, and soon the price was raised to [-] spirit stones.

By this time, most of the bidders had died down, and only two people were still fighting.

Lu Zhong waited for the result of the fight between the two, and then raised the price by one hundred spirit stones, directly defeating the other party's will to bid, and finally won the golden sword with a price of [-] spirit stones.

Hand over the spirit stone in the box.

Soon, a maid brought the sword.

As soon as the Shuojin Sword was in his hand, there was an obvious warm feeling, as if he was holding a piece of charcoal in his hand.

Looking closely at the attached instruction manual, I realized that this sword is actually made of molten flint, so it has its own molten fire magic power.

Unable to resist a trace of spiritual power, a layer of flames immediately ignited on the sword.

Feeling the high temperature rushing towards his face, Lu Zhong's expression became more and more joyful, and he couldn't help admiring:

"A good sword, it really is a good sword!"

Continue to read the instruction manual, which mentioned the maintenance of this sword.

In order to ensure the characteristics of the molten flint, it is necessary to regularly pour spiritual power into the sword, or place it in a pool of fire, so as to ensure that the power of the shining golden sword will not be damaged.

Outside, another new auction item appeared on the stage.

"Five hundred and seventy spirit stones!"

"Five hundred and seventy-five!"

"Six hundred!"

Lu Zhong kept watching, and finally waited for Zhu Ji Dan to appear on the stage.

As the finale of this auction, it will completely ignite the atmosphere of the venue as soon as it appears, followed by an extremely crazy auction, with more than [-] bidders.

If you want to break through the foundation establishment, the foundation establishment pill is not necessary, but the success rate of breaking through by yourself is too low, and it is easy to damage the heart after the foundation establishment fails.Therefore, given the option, most monks would choose to use up their wealth to buy such a treasure pill that can increase the chance of foundation establishment by [-]%.

After seeing the wildly rising bidding prices for a while, Lu Zhong couldn't help but sigh that there are so many rich people.

Not wanting to continue reading, he got up and left the auction house.

……

In the following days, Lu Zhong continued to indulge in cultivation, occasionally went out to eat some spiritual food, or spent some time with Li Hejun, living a peaceful and leisurely life.

In a blink of an eye, the spring and autumn cycle is another year.

Thanks to the powerful effect of the Secret Pattern Pill, his cultivation has successfully broken through as expected.

Compared with the seventh level of Qi Refining, the total amount of spiritual power has doubled this time.

At this moment, if you look inside yourself with your spiritual consciousness, you can find that the "star-shaped" sea of ​​Qi at the dantian is vast and mighty. Compared with the small cyclone that drew Qi into the body at the beginning, its scale has expanded by nearly a hundred times.

With the continuous improvement of cultivation base, the scale of Qi Sea is still increasing day by day.

This rapid expansion process will continue until the completion of the Qi refining period.

At that time, with just one thought, the entire sea of ​​qi in the dantian will begin to collapse and enter the foundation building state.

Not long ago, Lu Zhong had already saved enough spirit stones needed to take a picture of a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Considering that the effect of the pill would weaken with the passage of time, he finally resisted the idea of ​​going to the auction house to participate in the auction, and decided to continue to practice honestly until his Qi refining period was completed.

A few days after his cultivation was stabilized, news came again from the Hall of Miscellaneous Affairs.

Lu Zhong, who received the news, frowned at the moment.

According to common sense, he should be able to cultivate steadily for three to five years after he completed the mission of the sect last time.

But now...

"There is a high probability that there is a change between the Golden Rainbow Sect and the Luoyun Sect."

Without further thinking, Lu Zhong rushed to the Hall of Miscellaneous Affairs to confirm the specific content of the mission.

On the way, I also met Master Shui Ni.

"My boy, take this jade talisman, I hope you don't need to use it!" Shui Ni handed out a jade talisman.

The appearance of the jade talisman is somewhat similar to that of the jade card given by Zhang Lingyi that day, but the pattern on the surface is obviously more complicated. When the large runes with needle eyes are scattered all over, there are faintly powerful aura fluctuations.

After Lu Zhong took it, he looked up and found that Shui Ni had disappeared.

In the distant sky, a ray of light gradually drifted away.

After saluting silently, his expression became serious instead, and he continued to rush towards the Hall of Miscellaneous Affairs.

……

In the square in front of the Hall of Miscellaneous Affairs, the atmosphere was tense and chilling.

Teams of monks are gathering, and some of the assembled monks are already setting off. They either board the flying boat docked by the cliff, or jump onto the spirit beast lying on the square, or the elders of the master sect with the world in their sleeves. Surgery, directly rolled into the sleeve and taken away.

When Lu Zhong walked into the Hall of Miscellaneous Affairs, there was already a deacon and uncle approaching.

It was a middle-aged man with a long beard carrying a sword box. After seeing Lu Zhong, the other party confirmed his cultivation, his expression softened a lot, and he said in a concentrated voice: "You are Lu Zhong? If so, come with me."

Lu Zhong nodded and followed, and soon followed Master Lin to a warehouse.

As far as the eye can see, there are piles of storage bags.

The quantities vary and are packed in wooden frames, and the wooden frames are stacked together to fill up the huge warehouse.

One can imagine how many storage bags there are here.

"Senior Sister Mo, I'll come and collect the supplies of Team [-] now." Lin Nan walked to a corner of the warehouse, and said to a woman with a bun and a small family jasper temperament inside.

"Junior Brother Lin, has your mission changed? Another list of supplies came just now."

"Senior Sister, this is not a joke!" Uncle Lin's expression became serious. If such a major event happened, if the content of the mission was changed on the way, it is likely that nothing good will happen.

Uncle Lin went to the Hall of Miscellaneous Affairs to reconfirm the task content.

"It's okay, it's okay..." He breathed a sigh of relief
It's just that there are more garrison targets, and it's not a temporary change of mission content.

"I'll take these supplies away, please ask senior sister to confirm."

"No problem!" Senior Sister Mo checked it on the account book, which was regarded as confirmation of delivery.

At this time, eight people came in successively from outside, led by a handsome young man, the aura emanating from their bodies was the ninth level of Qi refining, the highest among the eight people.

"Master, together with Junior Brother Lu, all the team members have been summoned."

"Each one took the storage bag, and then set off with me." Uncle Lin pointed to the storage bag he had just brought out.

Lu Zhong took one, and found that it contained all kinds of auxiliary pills, including healing and detoxification, and there were also many talismans. There were hundreds of cleaning talismans, and there were also golden light talismans.

In addition, there are three full bottles of Bigu Pill.

"One bigu pill can keep you from hunger or thirst for a month. With so many bigu pills, is it possible that you have to go out for three years?" Lu Zhong found that the situation was far more serious than he thought.

Fortunately, judging from the materials given by the sect, he should not be used as cannon fodder.

……

Soon, a second-tier red-tailed vulture flew out from Helingzong
The wingspan of the second-order red-tailed eagle is five feet, so it is not difficult to seat ten people on its back.

After setting off, Lin Nan introduced the task content to Lu Zhong and others.

It was to protect an important mine located in Xiaoyuan Valley, which was the target of the enemy monks' attack last time. After the war broke out, the original guarding force was insufficient, so they needed a group of them to strengthen it.

Until the end of the war, everyone has been stationed there.

After hearing this, Lu Zhong couldn't help sighing.

The sudden war caught him by surprise.

But there is no way now, I can only hope that there is nothing wrong with the printing workshop.

Half a day later, a second-order red-tailed vulture flew into the Xiaoyuan Valley.

Although Xiaoyuan Valley bears the word "Gu", it is actually a huge fractured canyon. It looks barren on the surface, but the inside is covered by formations. Inside is a huge mine. In order to mine many minerals in the canyon, even special A city was built to house the mortal miners who had mined here for generations.

Under the leadership of Lin Nan, a group of people quickly and smoothly entered the Xiaoyuan Valley formation.

It happened to be the time for the handover of the miners. The dense flow of people came out of the mine, or they were carrying the magic weapon and the pickaxe to go down the mine. It was a busy scene that was messy but not chaotic.

A scene like this happened in a mine that is tens of kilometers in size.

The person in charge of Xiaoyuangu Mine is a thin female cultivator with gorgeous makeup. Although she looks weak, her cultivation base is much higher than that of Lin Nan. The latter has to call the former a senior sister.

This female cultivator who called herself Yu Qing first led the crowd to clean up the dust.

Then he discussed the defense with Lin Nan, and Lu Zhong and others were listening.

"All the disciples are patrolling in groups. You and I are on duty day and night. What do you think, Junior Brother Lin?" Yu Qing coughed and said, she seemed to be ill. Whether she was eating or discussing things, she would cough once or twice from time to time.

"Senior Sister Yu, let's make it like this." Lin Nan didn't object.

On Lu Zhong's side, he was also satisfied after hearing the arrangement.

According to this arrangement, he also has a lot of time to practice on weekdays, and it will not delay the growth of his cultivation base.

Next, it depends on how the situation develops.
