Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 131 Combing the Meridians
Lu Zhong didn't know when Shui Ni left.

Stand still.

For the first time, he felt that the way of heaven was so ruthless.

After staying in place for a while, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and headed towards Wangxian Town.

Since the demon cultivator is useless, it's time to deal with it. Since he is a member of the Black Corpse Hall, he might get some benefits by handing it over to the sect.

……

Time flies, and a year goes by in the blink of an eye.

In the quiet room on the second floor of the bamboo building, Lu Zhong slowly opened his eyes.

In the palm of the hand, a golden magic ban slowly dissipated.

"Huh, it's not easy!"

After spending such a long time, he finally wiped away the evil thoughts in his soul. At this moment, his heart is completely clear, and the soul power benefited from the purification of evil thoughts, even the strength of his spiritual consciousness has improved a lot, and now the coverage area has directly increased It's fifteen feet.

Fifteen feet, although it is far less than the distance of a hundred feet for foundation building, it is an incomparable advantage in the Qi refining stage.

Lu Zhong reckoned that if he were to fight against ordinary Qi-refining cultivators at this moment, even if he met a Qi-refining ninth-level cultivator, as long as the opponent didn't have a talisman or a big killer like Tianleizi, then he would be fine. Relying on the advantage brought by the divine sense, he can easily solve the opponent.

but……

"Still be cautious!"

Thinking of this, he secretly pinched a malicious detection.

Seeing that there was no feedback in his heart, his brows relaxed.

Pushing the door open, I happened to meet two monks walking towards me.

"I've seen Senior Brother Lu!" One of them was a handsome young man, who was delighted to see Lu Zhong, and immediately bowed his hands in salute.

The female cultivator next to him, who was holding his arm, also bowed and saluted.

Lu Zhongxun looked at his reputation and found that it was Xiao Changyuan, one of the few acquaintances he had in Helingzong. He couldn't help smiling and said, "Junior brother Xiao, are you safe?"

Speaking of which, this was the first time the two had met since the Xiaoyuangu Mine.

"Thank you Brother Lu for saving me last time!" Xiao Changyuan said seriously.

He only found out after the fact that Lu Zhong was being hunted down by the Foundation Establishment cultivator at that time. If the other party hadn't reminded him at that time, he would have been a dead body by now.

"It doesn't have to be like this." Lu Zhong said equally seriously.

His idea at the time was just to avoid the loss of customers. After all, Xiao Changyuan bought a lot of golden light talismans from him at that time.

After chatting for a while, the topic shifted to the unfinished sect war.

Since the end of the Battle of Resisting the Wind Pass, the Heling Sect has switched from defense to offense, launched a full-scale attack on the two alliances, and achieved major results one after another. Even the real Yunqing of the Luoyun Sect has successfully planned to injure them.

It can be said that the result of the battle of the three sects must end with the merger of the two sects by the Heling sect.

"Speaking of this, the younger brother will be transferred to Luoyun in a few days, and I'm afraid the senior brother will be appointed soon." Xiao Changyuan revealed the news, and his mood immediately became depressed.

The flames of war are ruthless, even for the Heling Sect who has the upper hand, casualties are still unavoidable.

About the news that he will be dispatched, Lu Zhong also knew from Shui Ni.

This is the case when worshiping a sect, there are always times when you can't help yourself.

But it's worth it for inheritance.

In the past few years of joining the Heling Sect, he never missed the sermons of the three ancestors whenever he was free. Coupled with the reading of various cultivation classics, his basic knowledge is no less than that of the Heling Sect. Most of the monks in the Lingzong have made great progress compared to the casual cultivator period.

Whether it is the making of talismans or the mastery of spells, they have benefited a lot from this.

The basic supplement is reflected in the cultivation, which is the improvement of the speed of cultivation.

According to Lu Zhong's own estimation, as long as he can maintain the current entry speed, he will be able to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining in three to two years, and then he can prepare for the foundation building. The speed is no less than that of elite sect monks, or He is a disciple of the Daxiu Immortal Clan.

The two chatted for a while before separating.

Lu Zhong took two steps, came to the edge of the cliff, and summoned Lingfeng to jump.

……

Wangxian Town.

As the battle situation gradually became clearer, the population here gradually decreased, leaving only the mortals who came to Xunxian to ask questions. It was no longer as noisy as before, and everything was returning to the previous state.

Come to the printing workshop, which has been repaired not long ago, and the scale of the building is much larger.

After the sales of story books dropped, they have not been recovered for a long time.

The reason, of course, is that there are fewer people buying books because of the large population loss.

After all, as far as the Xiaoyuangu Mine is concerned, hundreds of thousands of people have been lost, and when it expands to the entire three sects, the number of mortals who died in the flames of war is even more numerous.

Without this most important source of customers, it is impossible to talk about the recovery of sales of story books.

The reason for expanding the printing workshop was just Li Hejun's proposal. She wanted to increase printing production capacity and increase profits through printing books.

Better than nothing, but better than nothing.

Bypassing the busy workshop, Lu Zhong went directly to the backyard.

There is still gurgling water here, and because of the existence of the soundproofing circle, the noisy noise from the nearby workshops cannot be transmitted, and with the fragrance of flowers and plants, it can be regarded as a quiet and peaceful place.

Li Hejun, who has been moisturized, is now more and more hydrated and attractive.

"Master, wait... really want to be here?"

Li Hejun's face was flushed, and his heart was beating wildly. You must know that there is only one wall between this place and the workshop next door. If you can't help but be heard.

"Of course, it will be over soon."

Lu Zhong urged, and then grabbed her wrist without any explanation.

Slowly pouring his pure spiritual power in, sorting out the meridians that withered due to the medicinal power of the spiritual fruit for Li Hejun.

Although the life-extending effect of fairy spirit power is far inferior to that of vegetation and monsters, it can still have a certain effect after being moisturized for a long time, not much worse than taking life-prolonging pills.

Moisturized by the high concentration of spiritual energy, Li Hejun's body has been trembling slightly.

Gritting her teeth tightly, she didn't let herself cry out.

After a long time, the sorting out of the meridians was over.

The fat-like face was already covered with red clouds at this moment, and it was covered with beads of sweat, and he was so weak that he almost collapsed on the ground.

Li Hejun panted heavily, blushing and said:

"My lord, the practice process of immortal cultivators all have this kind of...feeling?"

"Of course, otherwise, who would be able to persevere for decades?" Lu Zhong said honestly, this is indeed the feeling of monks when they are practicing.

And the higher the concentration of aura, the stronger this feeling.

Of course, most of the monks' focus is not on this.

What they pay more attention to is the improvement of their own cultivation.

If you don't cultivate diligently for a long time, you will feel extremely uncomfortable.

It's rare to be at leisure, and Lu Zhong is not in a hurry to go back.

Brewing a pot of spiritual tea and reading the elixir illustrated book carefully is actually a kind of enjoyment.

The night is like water, calm and peaceful.

Lu Zhong put down the thick book in his hand and looked at Li Hejun who was sleeping beside him. With the help of the monk's extraordinary eyesight, he could clearly see that the years had left many marks on her body.

"Although you can't practice, it's not a kind of happiness to be able to live a stable life?"

As far as the current situation is concerned, Li Hejun's situation is much better than that of ordinary people outside.

Reminiscent of what happened to most casual cultivators in the war, they are afraid that they are not as good as ordinary people.

Shaking his head, Lu Zhong stood up and looked to the south.

Just now, someone from Caimen's sect has sent a message ordering him to set off to Yongling City tomorrow and wait for orders.

……

Early the next morning, Lu Zhong rented a red-tailed vulture and rushed to Yongling City.

"Is this Junior Brother Lu Zhong?"

As soon as he landed in the poultry house in the city, he was greeted by a majestic male cultivator, followed by several Helingzong disciples, all of whom were in the late stage of Qi refining.

"I am, I don't know who the senior is?" Lu Zhong asked doubtfully.

"Haha, I forgot to report the background first!" The male cultivator smiled brightly, then clasped his hands and said, "Li Changxuan, the operation to clear up the evil cultivators in Yongling City is led by the subordinate organization."

"So that's how it is, I've met Senior Brother Li!" Lu Zhong cupped his hands and said.

He had heard the name of Li Changxuan more than once, and he remembered that he was one of the alchemy seeds in the sect, and he was also a master of the Qi refining period of Xuan Yue's lineage. He had a high reputation among the disciples in the sect, so he came here unexpectedly.

It's good news, with such a senior brother who has completed the Qi refining period, it will be much easier to carry out the task of clearing and suppressing.

Following each other, everyone quickly came to the north outer gate of the city.

The main hall after the victory of the ranking battle was already covered with large and small maps. Lu Zhong could tell at a glance that it was related to the waterways in Yongling City, but what puzzled him was that.

The year of the map is not consistent, there are both old maps with yellowed paper and maps that have just been drawn.

This question will be answered soon.

When the disciples who participated in the operation arrived, Li Changxuan explained the task.

It turns out that the reason why the demon cultivators and the two monks in Yongling City have been inexhaustible is because they have been using the waterways in the city to act. The waterways in Yongling City have not been seen on the surface. The history on the ruins of the ancient city, so the hidden underground waterways are intricate, which can no longer be described by spider webs.

In fact, there are two goals for this action.

The extermination of the hidden demon cultivators and the two cultivators is just a matter of incident. The real purpose of this campaign is to eradicate the monsters entrenched in the waterways.

According to the investigation results before the operation, they mainly dealt with two monsters, the Sickle Rat and the Moon-watching Toad.

The reason there are only these two groups of monsters is because in the long-term competition for territory, other monsters were driven out of the underground waterway of Yongling City, and in the end only the Yin Sickle and the Moon-watching Toad remained.

The two groups of monster beasts have been fighting for an unknown amount of time, and the last one occupies the shallow waterway, while the other occupies the waterway left over from the ancient city, forming the current coexistence situation.

Regarding the characteristics of monsters, Yin Sickle is good at hiding and acts like an assassin.

The Moon-watching Toad is a rare ice monster.

After hearing this, Lu Zhong suspected that the purpose of the higher authorities to wipe out the monster group was more likely to obtain the ice-type spiritual material from the Moon-watching Toad, which could then be refined into magic weapons and used in the war against Luoyunzong.

After all, the Luoyun Sect is a sect located in a huge lake.

The word "cloud" in the name actually means that the water vapor in the lake gathers like a sea of ​​clouds.

Because of this, Luoyunzong monks practice more water-type exercises.

But just so, the ice magic weapon is designed to overcome the water system.

After explaining the situation, it is the specific arrangement.

Lu Zhong is currently at the eighth level of Qi refining, and he is considered the best among the crowd. Unexpectedly, he was assigned to be the captain of a suppression team, responsible for commanding ten inner disciples who were in the mid-stage of Qi refining, plus [-] other disciples. An outer disciple who cultivated at the early stage of Qi.

"Okay, that's the specific arrangement. Do you have any questions?" Li Changxuan looked at everyone with a smile.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one stood up.

Seeing that no one made a sound for a long time, Lu Zhong had no choice but to stand up bravely and say for his own safety: "Senior Brother Li, since we are clearing up the monsters entrenched in the waterways in the city, I don't know if the top has sent foundation building to support, and the people below The monster group has been entrenched for such a long time, it is inevitable that there will be a second-order monster..."

"Lü, what do you mean?" Beside Li Changxuan, a young man with a jade crown suddenly scolded.

"Zian, it doesn't have to be like this." Li Changxuan waved his hand to calm down the youth of Yuguan, then turned to look at Lu Zhong and said, "Junior Brother Lu, what you said is indeed reasonable, it's because I didn't think carefully."

After pondering for a while, he took out a magic talisman and said to the crowd, "I'll send out a voice transmission talisman and ask the door for additional manpower to prevent second-tier monsters that may appear during the operation."

Lu Zhong on the side heard it and suddenly wanted to laugh.

As far as he knew, there was only one Foundation Establishment cultivator free in the Heling Sect.

That is my master Shuini!

Thanks to the credit of "killing" Chen Jiangnv, the saintess of the Black Corpse Hall, Shui Ni has been staying in her own cave recently, living a more comfortable life than her fellow disciples.

When I visited her recently, my posture became more and more lazy every time.

"However, if she comes to support, once encountering a second-order monster, it will be reassuring."

Just when Lu Zhong's thoughts were churning, Li Changxuan activated the sound transmission talisman in his hand.

The sound transmission talisman is a second-order high-grade talisman, which can record a few sentences of voice, and after being activated, it can fly to the preset target by itself. As long as it is within a thousand miles, there will be no transmission errors.

The only trouble is that it may be intercepted halfway.

After all, the sound transmission talisman is really flying in the sky, not directly teleporting to the destination.

In addition, bad weather may also affect the Sound Transmission Talisman, at least it is certain to be struck by lightning.

Soon, there was a reply at the door.

"The head has already replied, Uncle Shui will come to support soon." Li Changxuan announced the content of the sound transmission talisman to everyone.

"Uncle Shui?" Someone asked in surprise.

The name of Shui Ni is known to everyone in the Heling Sect, after all, her status is extremely special.

At this time, someone suddenly made a sound, and then looked at Lu Zhong with a strange face, and said in doubt: "Senior Brother Lu, I remember that you seem to be Uncle Shui's apprentice?"

Regarding Shui Ni's acceptance of disciples, it caused quite a stir at first.

But gradually, because Lu Zhong was too low-key and hardly had contact with his fellow disciples, everyone only remembered that this Uncle Shui had accepted an apprentice for the first time, but they didn't know the name of that apprentice.

"That's right." Lu Zhong replied.

Now, there was an uproar among the crowd.

At the corner of the wall, the expression of the Yuguan youth who scolded Lu Zhong changed for a while.

However, none of the people present paid attention to him, and all their attention was focused on Lu Zhong, their eyes were full of curiosity. After all, this was the one who was favored by Shui Ni and accepted as his apprentice.

But no matter how you look at it, apart from his appearance surpassing Li Changxuan, Lu Zhong doesn't seem to have any other advantages.

And I heard that it is just the qualification of the four spiritual roots.
