Longevity begins with loose cultivation
Chapter 143 Serving as Guest Secretary
Chapter 143 Serving as Guest Secretary
The auction was still going on, and the atmosphere became more intense because of the appearance of Jidan on the way.
After the finale was over, there were all kinds of bottom-of-the-line ordinary auction items, many of which failed to be auctioned seven or eight times. At this time, some monks had already started to leave the auction.
The meeting place gradually became deserted, and there were only some monks who wanted to pick up the leak.
At this moment, Lu Zhong's Maid-protecting Pill finally appeared.
"What is going to be auctioned next is a pulse-protecting elixir temporarily consigned by a senior. It has been appraised that this elixir has not lost much of its properties. It is considered to be at the normal level of similar elixirs. The starting price is [-] spirit stones, and each increase should not be less than [-]. , if you are a fellow daoist who is interested in this item, you can bid for it now!"
On the stage, Sister Qingli was still presiding over it conscientiously.
Some monks who walked to the door couldn't help but stop when they heard that the Maidan was being auctioned.
Although the Foundation Establishment Pill is good, not everyone can afford it.
Generally speaking, when most monks try to build a foundation, they still use the Maidan, and this is the only time they have exhausted their life savings. If they cannot break through successfully, then this life can be said to stop here, and they can only turn Instead, focus on spreading branches and leaves, or repaying the kindness of relatives or masters.
"I will offer eleven thousand spirit stones!"
"Eleven thousand and one hundred spirit stones!"
Bidding sounded one after another, and monks kept quoting prices.
Different from the previous auctions, the monks who bid at this time were all sitting in the hall. Perhaps many of them were waiting for this time. After all, what they needed was the cheap medicine such as the Maidan.
Soon, prices were pushed higher and higher.
By this time, everyone's bidding has become cautious.
It's like the pair of master and servant that Lu Zhong is paying attention to are talking in a low voice at the moment.
"Young patriarch, I still have five hundred spirit stones on this old slave. In my opinion, if I add another five hundred, I will definitely be able to take the Maidan!" The old man with white beard and hair took out a small bag from his arms and handed it to The young man in Chinese clothes next to him.
Although the young man is wearing Chinese clothes, but if you look carefully, you can find that the Chinese clothes are worn out and can only maintain the glamor on the surface. With a clear eye, you can tell that this person is from a dilapidated family.
"Father Zhong..." The young man's eyes were slightly red, he knew that the old man's spirit stone was not easy to save.
He didn't speak, just nodded his head heavily.
Now that the family is in decline, only he can successfully build a foundation to save it.
The young man's gaze gradually became firm, and he shouted to the stage:
"Fifteen thousand five hundred spirit stones!"
As soon as this price came out, many competitors immediately retreated.
Many people felt that their lifespan was still abundant, and they decided to earn more spiritual stones for a few more years before participating in the auction of the Maidan, so they all gave up the auction and left.
Seeing this, the young man couldn't help but get excited.
Seems to see the hope of the rise of the family in the eyes.
"So there's still the Maidan! I'll give out [-] spirit stones!" A voice came from behind the field, but it was a foundation-building cultivator who had gone and returned. Buy it and use it.
Lu Zhong, who was in the box, watched this scene, and just lamented that not everything in the world can end perfectly after all.
After a while, a maid brought the Lingshi that was auctioned off by the Mai Mai Pill.
According to the rules of the Jingyang Auction House, they have the right to charge half of the Lingshi as a handling fee from the final transaction price of the auctioned item, so what Lu Zhong actually got was [-] Lingshi.
"Eight hundred spirit stones, equivalent to half a year's income of a foundation-builder cultivator, just disappeared..." Lu Zhong felt a little heartbroken, but after thinking about it, if he sold the Maid-protecting Pill to a buying house, he might not be able to sell it. After paying such a price, I immediately felt balanced again.
Walking out of the auction venue, I happened to meet the pair of master and servant.
"...Father Zhong, don't persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind!" The young man said firmly, "I'll go back this time, and I'll start to retreat, and I won't stop until I break the foundation!"
"Ah..." The sixtieth old man sighed and didn't say anything else.
Lu Zhong, who was on the side, heard this, and understood that this person was going to follow the example of the ancient monks, without any auxiliary spirits, and risked a near-death to rush directly to build the foundation.
Not knowing how to evaluate it, Lu Zhong took Li Hejun directly back to the previously rented cave.
Half an hour later, he came out alone again.
When it comes to the foundation building period, a flying magic weapon should also be arranged.
Lu Zhong remembered that there were two tree cores of different years in his storage bag. According to the descriptions in some classics, it might be possible for a craftsman to forge them into magic weapons such as flying boats.
Soon, they found a refining workshop opened by the Qionghua Sect.
The person who received him was a plump female cultivator at the middle stage of foundation establishment, her clothes were quite revealing, it could be said that she wrapped her body with a few pieces of cloth, I don't know if it was done on purpose.
The smell on his body is not the smell of rouge powder, but a strong smell of charcoal fire.
It really makes people wonder if this guy was still blacksmithing just now.
Averting his eyes from the opponent's chest, Lu Zhong coughed lightly and said: "Friend Hong, I don't know how the tree core is identified, can you refine it into a flying boat magic weapon?"
On the opposite side, the female cultivator surnamed Hong smiled, and replied: "The two tree cores obtained by fellow daoist can indeed be refined into a flying boat, but according to my years of experience in refining weapons, it seems that this size of spiritual material , in fact, it is more appropriate to refine it into a flying sword, the speed should be slightly faster, and the mana consumption should be less."
flying sword...
The scene of him stepping on a skateboard flashed in Lu Zhong's mind, and he suddenly felt a little funny.
So he shook his head and said, "Let's refine it into a flying boat."
The speed of the flying magic weapon is also related to the mana output. Anyway, the real energy in his body is four times higher than that of the same level. It is no problem to consume it faster, and it is enough to make up for that gap.
"Okay, I'll follow Daoist friends." The female cultivator surnamed Hong didn't refute, after all, the guest's opinion comes first. She took out several blueprints from the storage bag, all of which were the blueprints of Feizhou's magic weapon.
Lu Zhong glanced around, but none of them closed their eyes.
It's not that the function is unsatisfactory, but that the appearance is solid, it looks... like a fishing boat by the river.
A scene suddenly appeared in my mind, a female cultivator who looked like a fairy was flying in the air on a fishing boat.
Well, the illusion was suddenly shattered.
Lu Zhonglue pondered for a while, and found a piece of jade slip in his hand. He first erased the information about the Tan family in it, and then burned his ideal flying boat style in it, and then handed it to the female nun on the opposite side: "Fellow Taoist, I don't know the shape The flying boat, can you refine it here?"
It's not a weird design, just the fusiform hull he likes.
The female cultivator surnamed Hong took it. Seeing the streamlined ship inside, she felt a little weird at first, but the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. It was even more beautiful than the few blueprints she gave.
Immediately happy, she held the jade slip tightly, and said with red lips: "We can refine the shape of the flying boat given by the fellow Taoist, but I have a merciless request, can you..."
Speaking of this, the female cultivator surnamed Hong seemed a little embarrassed.
"Can you share this drawing with me, I also want to refine such a flying boat."
If we say what the female cultivators of the Qionghua Sect are most concerned about, they naturally love beauty, which even she cannot avoid.
When Lu Zhong heard this, he nodded in agreement.
It's just a simple change in appearance, and others can't stop it if they want to imitate it. It's better to sell it directly, so that you can get more refreshments when refining your own flying boat.
Soon, the conversation on the matter was over, and both parties left breaths on the spirit deed.
After coming out of the refining workshop, Lu Zhong went to the magic shop again.
He originally wanted to buy some second-level spells, such as invisibility spells, flying spells, and the like.
But in the end, I only bought a copy of "Flying Art", which was bad, and the rest were basically all kinds of attack spells, which were also bad, and the price was generally expensive.
As for the mind-reading secret technique similar to that used by Yu Qing that day, I probably don't even think about it.
Once again, Lu Zhong personally experienced what knowledge monopoly is.
At this point, he couldn't help but thank Master Shui Nilai again. Fortunately, her old man left the whole set of Flying Star inheritance to him, otherwise, just looking for the follow-up exercises would be enough to give him a headache for a long time.
Since he couldn't buy spells, Lu Zhong had no choice but to go back home.
An gave birth for a day, and went out the next day with a sigh of relief.
He came to a teahouse casually and ordered a pot of freshly harvested Qingnenling tea. While drinking the tea, he listened to the monks talking about him, wanting to know the news about Qingyangjian.
After a while, someone really talked about it.
"Do you know? The mysterious cultivator who took the picture of the Qingyang Mirror that day was intercepted and killed by the Wan family. It is said that the two sides fought in Yehua Mountain, and many people died on both sides!" There was a man wearing a bamboo hat. The face said mysteriously.
"I really guessed it right!" Someone immediately echoed, it was a thin middle-aged man in cassock.
"Tell me, brother, what's going on?" Someone asked eagerly.
Many people are also urging, wanting to know the development of the matter.
In fact, many people go to the teahouse to drink tea, and what they want to hear is this kind of news. After all, the two-point and one-line life of practicing and making money on weekdays is really boring, but they can't afford to go to Qionghualou , so I can only use this to relieve boredom.
On Lu Zhong's side, he saw through the identity of the man in the hat at a glance, and almost couldn't help laughing.
"What is this, to reveal the news on your own initiative?"
The man in the bamboo hat was none other than the proprietor of the tea house who had been disguised. Unexpectedly, he ran out to reveal the news in order to solicit business.
It's no wonder that everyone wants to sit in the teahouse, after all, they can really hear useful news.
"Ahem, I have been feeling ill recently, and I may need..." Before the man in the bamboo hat finished speaking, someone next to him understood what he meant, didn't he just want someone to help him with some spiritual tea?
"Brothers, why don't we chip in some money and treat him to a pot of drunk Yang Chun?"
"Okay, count me in!"
"Add me!"
On Lu Zhong's side, he was cheeky and didn't pay for it.
Soon, a pot of Zuiyangchun worth five spirit stones was placed in front of the man in a bamboo hat.
"Thank you, brothers!" The man in the hat stood up, bowed his hands to everyone in the teahouse, and continued.
"I watched carefully in the grass that day. Although the Wanjia came prepared, but the mysterious monk who was photographed by the Qingyang Mirror suddenly attacked and killed a true cultivator with a talisman. It can be said that it was impossible to steal a chicken. The Wan family has lost a lot of rice this time...By the way, everyone knows what a talisman is, right?"
"Tch, who doesn't know, isn't it the 'little magic weapon'!" Someone said disdainfully.
The so-called talisman is actually that the alchemy cultivator seals part of the power of his own magic weapon in a special talisman paper, thus making a talisman that is less powerful than the magic weapon, but higher than the consumption of the spiritual weapon.
Lu Zhong, who was in the distance, heard it, thinking that what the shopkeeper of the teahouse said didn't sound like random compilation.
With the power of the talisman, it is indeed possible to attack and kill a foundation cultivator.
"Yeah, yeah, bro, stop talking nonsense, tell me what the result is, you're talking nonsense, don't you want to buy a pot of spiritual tea for the brothers present?"
"Haha, I told you to see through!" Han Han in the bamboo hat smiled, not knowing if he was pretending, and continued: "After the death of a foundation cultivator, the Wan family also became angry, which is why I have what I said earlier. , Many people died on both sides, and in the end, the mysterious monks retreated."
After a pause, he took a sip of spiritual tea.
"Here is another piece of news for you to save you from saying that I am stingy. Now, although the mysterious cultivators have retreated, they are also besieged by thousands of families in the Yehua Mountain area. If you have ideas, where can you go to fight in the next two days?" If you give it a chance, maybe the Qingyang Jian with tens of thousands of spirit stones will fall into your hands?"
"I'm just kidding, we're just minor qi refiners, how can we participate in such a big event?" Some people thought they had heard a story, and had no intention of participating in it at all.
The one who is thinking about it is already thinking in his heart whether he can sell the news and earn one or two spirit stones.Seeing that someone had already left the seat, he immediately got up and rushed out, fearing that the news would be sold out too late, and he could only exchange for a few talisman papers.
At this time, Lu Zhong also stood up.
Unlike others, he went directly to Yehua Mountain outside Fangshi.
……
Yehua Mountain is named for its shape resembling Jingyang Yehua.
The mountain is extremely steep, with thousands of cliffs everywhere, and it is shrouded in mountain fog all year round. It is self-evident to find someone in such an environment.
On Lu Zhong's side, he looked back through the scene to find traces of the mysterious monk.
On the way, more than once, I ran into monks from the Wan family who were patrolling.
I don't know what kind of deal the Wan family has made with other forces in the Jingyang area, so that now they are the only family in the huge Baili Yehua Mountain.
As he walked, he ran into another Foundation Establishment cultivator who was also holding back his breath.
This person obviously also came to look for Qingyangjian. When he saw Lu Zhong, who was also a foundation builder, he directly chose another direction, obviously not thinking of conflicting.
Lu Zhong didn't want to be troublesome, and continued to rush towards the place where the Wan family fought with the mysterious monk.
Soon, they came to a valley.
There are still a lot of traces of fighting here, not only the erosion left by the spell, but also the beheading caused by the magic weapon, which caused the flowers and plants in the valley to suffer, which is as ugly as a dysentery.
After finding a safe place, Lu Zhong began to rewind the scene.
After entering the foundation building period, in the scene retrospective, the range of movement is much larger, from the original range of ten feet to one hundred feet, and the range of action has directly increased by a hundred times.
Going back in time, he quickly replayed and watched the battle that day.
The scene of the mysterious monk activating the talisman, condensing out a small green sword, and killing Wanjia Zhenxiu in an instant, was deeply imprinted in his mind, and he was extremely shocked.
"Is this the power of the talisman?" Lu Zhong's thoughts twitched, and he had the idea of snatching it.
According to the records in the classics, talismans are rarely one-time consumables, and can usually be used more than twice, and some can even be used as many as five or six times. The power is sealed in.
Recalling standing next to the mysterious cultivator and watching how the other party activated the talisman, there seemed to be a sword-shaped mark on the talisman paper representing the remaining number of times. If this represented the number of times the talisman was used, then theoretically the mysterious monk would use this After the ten thousand family established the foundation, there were still three uses left.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong followed the scene according to the results of backtracking.
This tracking is a full day.
Until the sky was completely dark and the mountain mist shrouded the surroundings, Lu Zhong traced to a fast-flowing small river. According to the results of the backtracking of the scene, the mysterious monk was hiding at the bottom of the river.
He held his breath and disappeared, so as not to disturb the person who was hiding ten feet below the river bed.
It was already midnight at this time. Although it was the night of the full moon, due to the obstruction of the thick mountain fog, Lu Zhong's vision was not wide, so it was difficult to keep an eye on his surroundings.
After thinking about it, he decided to do some more investigation, first to explore the bottom of that person.
The scene went back, and soon came to the bottom of the river bed in another way.
In the one-zhang stone cave dug by the magic weapon, there is a pale middle-aged man sitting cross-legged at the moment. There are a lot of bottles and cans scattered in front of him. Judging from the notes pasted on it, they are basically used for healing. .
Judging from the aura he exudes, this person is a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation base.
Undoing the backtracking, Lu Zhong's face was cloudy and uncertain. He thought that there would be an oriole behind him, but who would have thought that this "cicada" could not be swallowed by himself. Weapon, the cultivation base is also a small realm higher than his own, it can be said that even if he is injured, it is not something he can deal with.
"Forget it, treat it as watching a play."
Lu Zhong remembered that he had met a group of monks from the Wan family on the road just now. They seemed to have a tracking tool in their hands, and they had obtained the clothes of the mysterious monk, and they were using this to track and come here.
"Wait a minute, maybe there is a chance to fish in troubled waters."
He was still a little unwilling, and prepared to stay away from here and wait and see.
The Qingyang Jian with nearly one hundred thousand spirit stones is worth taking a little risk. If you can get this treasure, you will have an extra weapon to protect your way on the road of foundation building and cultivation.
Hold back your breath and hide away, far away.
As Lu Zhong expected, monks from the Wan family quickly tracked him down here.
The mysterious monk who was discovered was shocked and angry, and fought against the Wan family monk again.
Both sides come and go, and the mysterious monk gradually loses ground.
Lu Zhong watched from the sidelines, and at the same time, he was paying attention to whether there were onlookers like himself around him, so that he could discover these potential competitors in advance in the coming opportunity.
Fortunately, it was not found.
On the other side, the mysterious cultivator was at a disadvantage. Under the joint efforts of two Wan Family Establishment Foundations, he was beaten back steadily, even holding the Qingyang Mirror in his hand was useless.
Seeing this, he sacrificed the sword-shaped talisman.
"Blue Rock Sword, disease!"
In an instant, the cyan aura pierced the night sky and turned into a rainbow light, engulfed in a turbulent aura, exuding astonishing power, and slashed towards the cultivator of the Wan family on the opposite side.
Lu Zhong stared at the field, quietly waiting for the opportunity to make a move.
After a while, the monk Wanjia suffered serious injuries because he blocked the blow of the talisman. When he saw him here, a thought came to his mind unconsciously, wondering if he should change his target.
Immediately, this idea was rejected again.
The two Wanjia Foundation Establishment used magic weapons, so there was really no need to snatch them.
At this moment, something unexpected happened to him.
The mysterious monk who was fleeing suddenly fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, as if struck by lightning.
"Hahaha!"
A laugh came from a distance, but an old woman in a red robe appeared.
"This fellow Taoist, this person has a great enmity with my Wan family, can you leave it to us to deal with?" The two Wan family Zhuji caught up and surrounded the red-robed old woman one after the other, with fear in their eyes emerge.
The two knew the origin of the old woman, and it was Grandma Honghua who had been wanted by the Qionghua Sect for a long time.
According to rumors, Grandma Honghua was also a disciple of Qionghua Sect when she was young, but she was expelled from the door because of poisoning her Taoist companion, and has been wanted and killed ever since.
To be able to survive for such a long time under the arrest of Jindan Sect, one can imagine the means of Grandma Honghua.
On the other side, Lu Zhong quietly touched the mysterious monk while the three of them were confronting each other.
It was just a few steps before he was discovered by those three people.
He had already expected this.
After all, no one is a fool. Since he can think of making a profit, others can also think of taking precautions.
But since Lu Zhong dared to move, he was naturally sure.
First of all, the mysterious monk, after being assassinated by the old woman, lost all breath immediately, that is to say, he didn't need to worry about counterattack even if he took advantage of it.
Pinching the formula and chanting the mantra, summoning the spiritual wind to wrap around his body.
Then he aroused the supernatural powers of the cassock, followed by the meteor style of extremely fast rushing, and Lu Zhong quickly appeared next to the mysterious monk's corpse at a speed that the three of them could not expect.
Using his extremely familiar corpse-touching skills, he took away the person's storage bag in two or three strokes, and dropped the Qingyang Mirror on the ground, and then accelerated his figure again, ignoring the damage caused by extreme speed, and came quickly. Sneaking away, the next three people can only eat ashes.
"How could it be so fast!" The two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Wan family couldn't help wondering whether the person who was lurking just now was a Golden Core cultivator, or how could it be so fast that they couldn't even react.
The two wanted to catch up, but they just hesitated for a moment, and then disappeared into the mist.
On Grandma Honghua's side, her face was also getting gloomy.
After living for nearly two hundred years, this was the first time she suffered such a big loss.
However, she didn't dare to stay here. The two Wan Family Establishment Foundations on the opposite side had already looked over at this moment, and they obviously had some thoughts about her, maybe she wanted him, Grandma Honghua, to besiege here.
A mere Wanjia is nothing, but if Qionghuazong feels it, then she will fall into a place of eternal doom.
……
His heart was beating wildly. After taking a Rejuvenation Pill to suppress his injury, Lu Zhong relied on scene backtracking to avoid the patrolling disciples of the Wan family, and rushed back to Jingyangfang City night and day.
It wasn't until he was lying on the brocade couch in the cave that he finally dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
He got up quickly and began to heal his injuries.
Wanting to obtain a movement speed comparable to that of a Jindan cultivator in a short period of time does not mean paying the slightest price. The consequence of using the meteor pose to restrain the three of them more than ten times in a row is that Lu Zhong's body is torn in many places at this moment, and he no longer uses mana to force him to move. After being suppressed, he became a blood man in a short while.
But even so, it still made Lu Zhong extremely excited.
Only by paying the price of a serious injury, one can get a treasure talisman, plus a low-grade spiritual weapon Qingyangjian. This deal can be said to be a huge profit, compared with the price, it is nothing at all.
Lu Zhong spent the entire night in healing.
At dawn, he finally suppressed his injuries, and used his Breath Containment Technique to the extreme to restrain his slightly unstable breath, so as not to let others discover the fact that he was injured.
After doing this, he got up and went out.
Today is the day to reply to the Tan family. After learning that the Tan family does not have many bad deeds and can be called a creditable family, Lu Zhong naturally came up with the idea of joining as a guest lord.
When I came to Zhenshifang again, I soon saw Tan Shihe.
"How is Lu Daoyou thinking?" Tan Shihe asked expectantly.
During this period of time, he did not wait in vain. Instead, he did some research on Lu Zhong and learned a lot about this former disciple of the Heling Sect.
On the whole, he is still a credible person, so he is more interested in recruiting Lu Zhong.
Lv Zhongchong clasped his hands to Tan Shihe, and said with a smile, "I don't know what kind of treatment I would get if I joined the Tan family as a guest minister?"
When Tan Shihe heard it, his heart was full of drama!
He hurriedly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Of course our Tan family will not treat Ke Qing badly, and other families will naturally have what they should have. How about we go upstairs to the private room first and talk while eating?"
"Then Lu is not welcome!" Lu Zhong nodded.
The two talked while walking, and when they sat in the box, Tan Shihe explained the treatment of guests.
In the Tan family, there are also grades for guest officials, mainly based on their cultivation. At the early stage of foundation establishment, guest officials can receive a salary of [-] spirit stones per month, plus other miscellaneous income, more than a hundred spirit stones per month. Not a problem. .
But on Lu Zhong's side, because it was agreed in advance that he would teach the flying talisman system.
Therefore, the monthly salary is greatly reduced, and only [-] Lingshi salary is issued. Fortunately, other income is as usual, for example, he can make talismans in his spare time, so the income is even higher than that of ordinary guest officials.
Other benefits include the ability to listen to the Tan family's patriarch's monthly sermons, to read the general classics in the Tan family's library for free, and to learn a second-level spell of the Tan family for free.
As for the treatment of other marginal guests, Lu Zhong didn't intend to ask because it was too detailed and complicated. After all, it doesn't matter whether you enjoy it or not.
When it comes to specific responsibilities, Tan Shihe paused, took out a list that had already been made out of his sleeve, and asked, "I don't know what kind of specific affairs you want to be in charge of, Daoist Lu. This point must be clearly determined in advance. After all, we still have to respect Friends of the Daoist wish."
Lu Zhong took a look and found that they were all properties of the Tan family.
Whether it's a store in a certain place, or the security of a mine, the more important thing is the deacon of the elixir garden, who needs to ensure the safety of the elixir garden to prevent the elixir from being stolen.
He read it carefully and finally chose one.
"Oh, here?" Tan Shihe took a look and found that it was actually a farm where Lingmi was grown.
At first, he was still a little puzzled, but when he recalled the location of the farm, he suddenly understood Lu Zhong's thoughts. He clearly wanted to stay away from the Tan family so as not to get involved in possible disputes.
"No problem, it's settled like this." Tan Shihe has the authority issued by the head of the Tan family, and the recruited guests only need to write a letter, and they can be stamped and recognized by the head of the family, so they still have a certain right to make decisions.
Soon, a spiritual deed was drawn up.
For a period of five years, Lv Zhong supervised the farm for the Tan family. After completing the task indicators for five consecutive years, he will be qualified to teach flying talismans.
In this way, Lu Zhong became Tan Jiakeqing.
……
Liuyun Mountain Farm.
This mountain got its name because the mountain looks like flowing clouds. In the past, monks of the Tan family discovered a weak spiritual vein here, so they opened up a large area of spiritual fields here, mainly planting some spiritual rice that requires less spiritual energy.
Liuyun Mountain runs from east to west, about twelve or three miles long and four miles wide from east to west.
Along the undulating mountains, pieces of spiritual fields have been opened up. There are many houses scattered along the rice paddies, all of which are the residences of mortal farmers who are responsible for cultivating the spiritual fields. Occasionally, one or two slightly better houses can be seen. The residence of the disciples of the Tan family who practiced Spirit Rain.
What is used to irrigate the spiritual field is a spiritual spring gushing out from the top of the mountain. This is also where the spiritual vein of Liuyun Mountain is located. A large mansion with three entrances is built next to it. It can be regarded as the management center of the farm. The mansion and the spiritual spring are surrounded by In the law, to protect the spiritual veins and prevent Liuyun Mountain's spiritual veins from being infiltrated and destroyed.
When Lv Zhong arrived, the big and small stewards of the farm, led by the deputy deacon appointed by the Tan family, waited respectfully in front of the mansion, in order to impress the new deacon.
According to the previous rules, although the deacon does not manage the specific affairs of the farm, he has the authority to punish his subordinates. This can be regarded as the supervision and deterrence of the disciples of the Tan family. If we do not establish a good relationship with them in advance, I am afraid that in the next five years It's worth it.
When everyone saw this new deacon who looked too young to speak, they all couldn't help showing surprise.
After all, Lu Zhong now looks like a young man in his early twenties. It is hard for people to believe that this is a foundation cultivator. If there is no news beforehand, I am afraid that no one would dare to believe this.
"Junior Tan Yunde, I met Deacon Lu!"
The leader of the team was a middle-aged man in a black robe with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is currently at the ninth level of Qi refining. He is the deputy deacon of Liuyunshan Farm and the specific manager of the farm's affairs.
Behind Tan Yunde, all the managers, big and small, also bowed one after another.
The stewards are responsible for the implementation of farm affairs. Whether it is the arrangement of the rainfall plan or the sowing and harvesting of Lingmi, they are all implemented by the stewards. Without them, the operation of the farm will be paralyzed.
When Lu Zhong met them one by one, he had completed his appointment.
In the evening, after finishing the welcome banquet, he returned to his residence.
But after entering, he found that Li Hejun was not the only one in the house, there were two young and beautiful women. After asking Li Hejun, he found out that it was sent by the children of the Tan family.
After a closer look, I found that the two girls were actually sisters.
Liuyun Mountain is rich in aura, nearly one hundred thousand mortals surnamed Tan live here, eat well and live a good life on weekdays, and being nourished by this aura, they can often choose beautiful women.
Looking at their appearance, I'm afraid I'm not very happy at this moment, after all, if ordinary people can get close to the immortal teacher, they can always live comfortably for a lifetime.
Lu Zhong didn't pretend to be hypocritical, and directly accepted the two girls.
After all, it is hard for Li Hejun to deal with it alone, and it is good to have someone to share it with.
On weekdays, she can also serve as her two servant girls.
That night, everyone slept together.
(End of this chapter)
The auction was still going on, and the atmosphere became more intense because of the appearance of Jidan on the way.
After the finale was over, there were all kinds of bottom-of-the-line ordinary auction items, many of which failed to be auctioned seven or eight times. At this time, some monks had already started to leave the auction.
The meeting place gradually became deserted, and there were only some monks who wanted to pick up the leak.
At this moment, Lu Zhong's Maid-protecting Pill finally appeared.
"What is going to be auctioned next is a pulse-protecting elixir temporarily consigned by a senior. It has been appraised that this elixir has not lost much of its properties. It is considered to be at the normal level of similar elixirs. The starting price is [-] spirit stones, and each increase should not be less than [-]. , if you are a fellow daoist who is interested in this item, you can bid for it now!"
On the stage, Sister Qingli was still presiding over it conscientiously.
Some monks who walked to the door couldn't help but stop when they heard that the Maidan was being auctioned.
Although the Foundation Establishment Pill is good, not everyone can afford it.
Generally speaking, when most monks try to build a foundation, they still use the Maidan, and this is the only time they have exhausted their life savings. If they cannot break through successfully, then this life can be said to stop here, and they can only turn Instead, focus on spreading branches and leaves, or repaying the kindness of relatives or masters.
"I will offer eleven thousand spirit stones!"
"Eleven thousand and one hundred spirit stones!"
Bidding sounded one after another, and monks kept quoting prices.
Different from the previous auctions, the monks who bid at this time were all sitting in the hall. Perhaps many of them were waiting for this time. After all, what they needed was the cheap medicine such as the Maidan.
Soon, prices were pushed higher and higher.
By this time, everyone's bidding has become cautious.
It's like the pair of master and servant that Lu Zhong is paying attention to are talking in a low voice at the moment.
"Young patriarch, I still have five hundred spirit stones on this old slave. In my opinion, if I add another five hundred, I will definitely be able to take the Maidan!" The old man with white beard and hair took out a small bag from his arms and handed it to The young man in Chinese clothes next to him.
Although the young man is wearing Chinese clothes, but if you look carefully, you can find that the Chinese clothes are worn out and can only maintain the glamor on the surface. With a clear eye, you can tell that this person is from a dilapidated family.
"Father Zhong..." The young man's eyes were slightly red, he knew that the old man's spirit stone was not easy to save.
He didn't speak, just nodded his head heavily.
Now that the family is in decline, only he can successfully build a foundation to save it.
The young man's gaze gradually became firm, and he shouted to the stage:
"Fifteen thousand five hundred spirit stones!"
As soon as this price came out, many competitors immediately retreated.
Many people felt that their lifespan was still abundant, and they decided to earn more spiritual stones for a few more years before participating in the auction of the Maidan, so they all gave up the auction and left.
Seeing this, the young man couldn't help but get excited.
Seems to see the hope of the rise of the family in the eyes.
"So there's still the Maidan! I'll give out [-] spirit stones!" A voice came from behind the field, but it was a foundation-building cultivator who had gone and returned. Buy it and use it.
Lu Zhong, who was in the box, watched this scene, and just lamented that not everything in the world can end perfectly after all.
After a while, a maid brought the Lingshi that was auctioned off by the Mai Mai Pill.
According to the rules of the Jingyang Auction House, they have the right to charge half of the Lingshi as a handling fee from the final transaction price of the auctioned item, so what Lu Zhong actually got was [-] Lingshi.
"Eight hundred spirit stones, equivalent to half a year's income of a foundation-builder cultivator, just disappeared..." Lu Zhong felt a little heartbroken, but after thinking about it, if he sold the Maid-protecting Pill to a buying house, he might not be able to sell it. After paying such a price, I immediately felt balanced again.
Walking out of the auction venue, I happened to meet the pair of master and servant.
"...Father Zhong, don't persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind!" The young man said firmly, "I'll go back this time, and I'll start to retreat, and I won't stop until I break the foundation!"
"Ah..." The sixtieth old man sighed and didn't say anything else.
Lu Zhong, who was on the side, heard this, and understood that this person was going to follow the example of the ancient monks, without any auxiliary spirits, and risked a near-death to rush directly to build the foundation.
Not knowing how to evaluate it, Lu Zhong took Li Hejun directly back to the previously rented cave.
Half an hour later, he came out alone again.
When it comes to the foundation building period, a flying magic weapon should also be arranged.
Lu Zhong remembered that there were two tree cores of different years in his storage bag. According to the descriptions in some classics, it might be possible for a craftsman to forge them into magic weapons such as flying boats.
Soon, they found a refining workshop opened by the Qionghua Sect.
The person who received him was a plump female cultivator at the middle stage of foundation establishment, her clothes were quite revealing, it could be said that she wrapped her body with a few pieces of cloth, I don't know if it was done on purpose.
The smell on his body is not the smell of rouge powder, but a strong smell of charcoal fire.
It really makes people wonder if this guy was still blacksmithing just now.
Averting his eyes from the opponent's chest, Lu Zhong coughed lightly and said: "Friend Hong, I don't know how the tree core is identified, can you refine it into a flying boat magic weapon?"
On the opposite side, the female cultivator surnamed Hong smiled, and replied: "The two tree cores obtained by fellow daoist can indeed be refined into a flying boat, but according to my years of experience in refining weapons, it seems that this size of spiritual material , in fact, it is more appropriate to refine it into a flying sword, the speed should be slightly faster, and the mana consumption should be less."
flying sword...
The scene of him stepping on a skateboard flashed in Lu Zhong's mind, and he suddenly felt a little funny.
So he shook his head and said, "Let's refine it into a flying boat."
The speed of the flying magic weapon is also related to the mana output. Anyway, the real energy in his body is four times higher than that of the same level. It is no problem to consume it faster, and it is enough to make up for that gap.
"Okay, I'll follow Daoist friends." The female cultivator surnamed Hong didn't refute, after all, the guest's opinion comes first. She took out several blueprints from the storage bag, all of which were the blueprints of Feizhou's magic weapon.
Lu Zhong glanced around, but none of them closed their eyes.
It's not that the function is unsatisfactory, but that the appearance is solid, it looks... like a fishing boat by the river.
A scene suddenly appeared in my mind, a female cultivator who looked like a fairy was flying in the air on a fishing boat.
Well, the illusion was suddenly shattered.
Lu Zhonglue pondered for a while, and found a piece of jade slip in his hand. He first erased the information about the Tan family in it, and then burned his ideal flying boat style in it, and then handed it to the female nun on the opposite side: "Fellow Taoist, I don't know the shape The flying boat, can you refine it here?"
It's not a weird design, just the fusiform hull he likes.
The female cultivator surnamed Hong took it. Seeing the streamlined ship inside, she felt a little weird at first, but the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. It was even more beautiful than the few blueprints she gave.
Immediately happy, she held the jade slip tightly, and said with red lips: "We can refine the shape of the flying boat given by the fellow Taoist, but I have a merciless request, can you..."
Speaking of this, the female cultivator surnamed Hong seemed a little embarrassed.
"Can you share this drawing with me, I also want to refine such a flying boat."
If we say what the female cultivators of the Qionghua Sect are most concerned about, they naturally love beauty, which even she cannot avoid.
When Lu Zhong heard this, he nodded in agreement.
It's just a simple change in appearance, and others can't stop it if they want to imitate it. It's better to sell it directly, so that you can get more refreshments when refining your own flying boat.
Soon, the conversation on the matter was over, and both parties left breaths on the spirit deed.
After coming out of the refining workshop, Lu Zhong went to the magic shop again.
He originally wanted to buy some second-level spells, such as invisibility spells, flying spells, and the like.
But in the end, I only bought a copy of "Flying Art", which was bad, and the rest were basically all kinds of attack spells, which were also bad, and the price was generally expensive.
As for the mind-reading secret technique similar to that used by Yu Qing that day, I probably don't even think about it.
Once again, Lu Zhong personally experienced what knowledge monopoly is.
At this point, he couldn't help but thank Master Shui Nilai again. Fortunately, her old man left the whole set of Flying Star inheritance to him, otherwise, just looking for the follow-up exercises would be enough to give him a headache for a long time.
Since he couldn't buy spells, Lu Zhong had no choice but to go back home.
An gave birth for a day, and went out the next day with a sigh of relief.
He came to a teahouse casually and ordered a pot of freshly harvested Qingnenling tea. While drinking the tea, he listened to the monks talking about him, wanting to know the news about Qingyangjian.
After a while, someone really talked about it.
"Do you know? The mysterious cultivator who took the picture of the Qingyang Mirror that day was intercepted and killed by the Wan family. It is said that the two sides fought in Yehua Mountain, and many people died on both sides!" There was a man wearing a bamboo hat. The face said mysteriously.
"I really guessed it right!" Someone immediately echoed, it was a thin middle-aged man in cassock.
"Tell me, brother, what's going on?" Someone asked eagerly.
Many people are also urging, wanting to know the development of the matter.
In fact, many people go to the teahouse to drink tea, and what they want to hear is this kind of news. After all, the two-point and one-line life of practicing and making money on weekdays is really boring, but they can't afford to go to Qionghualou , so I can only use this to relieve boredom.
On Lu Zhong's side, he saw through the identity of the man in the hat at a glance, and almost couldn't help laughing.
"What is this, to reveal the news on your own initiative?"
The man in the bamboo hat was none other than the proprietor of the tea house who had been disguised. Unexpectedly, he ran out to reveal the news in order to solicit business.
It's no wonder that everyone wants to sit in the teahouse, after all, they can really hear useful news.
"Ahem, I have been feeling ill recently, and I may need..." Before the man in the bamboo hat finished speaking, someone next to him understood what he meant, didn't he just want someone to help him with some spiritual tea?
"Brothers, why don't we chip in some money and treat him to a pot of drunk Yang Chun?"
"Okay, count me in!"
"Add me!"
On Lu Zhong's side, he was cheeky and didn't pay for it.
Soon, a pot of Zuiyangchun worth five spirit stones was placed in front of the man in a bamboo hat.
"Thank you, brothers!" The man in the hat stood up, bowed his hands to everyone in the teahouse, and continued.
"I watched carefully in the grass that day. Although the Wanjia came prepared, but the mysterious monk who was photographed by the Qingyang Mirror suddenly attacked and killed a true cultivator with a talisman. It can be said that it was impossible to steal a chicken. The Wan family has lost a lot of rice this time...By the way, everyone knows what a talisman is, right?"
"Tch, who doesn't know, isn't it the 'little magic weapon'!" Someone said disdainfully.
The so-called talisman is actually that the alchemy cultivator seals part of the power of his own magic weapon in a special talisman paper, thus making a talisman that is less powerful than the magic weapon, but higher than the consumption of the spiritual weapon.
Lu Zhong, who was in the distance, heard it, thinking that what the shopkeeper of the teahouse said didn't sound like random compilation.
With the power of the talisman, it is indeed possible to attack and kill a foundation cultivator.
"Yeah, yeah, bro, stop talking nonsense, tell me what the result is, you're talking nonsense, don't you want to buy a pot of spiritual tea for the brothers present?"
"Haha, I told you to see through!" Han Han in the bamboo hat smiled, not knowing if he was pretending, and continued: "After the death of a foundation cultivator, the Wan family also became angry, which is why I have what I said earlier. , Many people died on both sides, and in the end, the mysterious monks retreated."
After a pause, he took a sip of spiritual tea.
"Here is another piece of news for you to save you from saying that I am stingy. Now, although the mysterious cultivators have retreated, they are also besieged by thousands of families in the Yehua Mountain area. If you have ideas, where can you go to fight in the next two days?" If you give it a chance, maybe the Qingyang Jian with tens of thousands of spirit stones will fall into your hands?"
"I'm just kidding, we're just minor qi refiners, how can we participate in such a big event?" Some people thought they had heard a story, and had no intention of participating in it at all.
The one who is thinking about it is already thinking in his heart whether he can sell the news and earn one or two spirit stones.Seeing that someone had already left the seat, he immediately got up and rushed out, fearing that the news would be sold out too late, and he could only exchange for a few talisman papers.
At this time, Lu Zhong also stood up.
Unlike others, he went directly to Yehua Mountain outside Fangshi.
……
Yehua Mountain is named for its shape resembling Jingyang Yehua.
The mountain is extremely steep, with thousands of cliffs everywhere, and it is shrouded in mountain fog all year round. It is self-evident to find someone in such an environment.
On Lu Zhong's side, he looked back through the scene to find traces of the mysterious monk.
On the way, more than once, I ran into monks from the Wan family who were patrolling.
I don't know what kind of deal the Wan family has made with other forces in the Jingyang area, so that now they are the only family in the huge Baili Yehua Mountain.
As he walked, he ran into another Foundation Establishment cultivator who was also holding back his breath.
This person obviously also came to look for Qingyangjian. When he saw Lu Zhong, who was also a foundation builder, he directly chose another direction, obviously not thinking of conflicting.
Lu Zhong didn't want to be troublesome, and continued to rush towards the place where the Wan family fought with the mysterious monk.
Soon, they came to a valley.
There are still a lot of traces of fighting here, not only the erosion left by the spell, but also the beheading caused by the magic weapon, which caused the flowers and plants in the valley to suffer, which is as ugly as a dysentery.
After finding a safe place, Lu Zhong began to rewind the scene.
After entering the foundation building period, in the scene retrospective, the range of movement is much larger, from the original range of ten feet to one hundred feet, and the range of action has directly increased by a hundred times.
Going back in time, he quickly replayed and watched the battle that day.
The scene of the mysterious monk activating the talisman, condensing out a small green sword, and killing Wanjia Zhenxiu in an instant, was deeply imprinted in his mind, and he was extremely shocked.
"Is this the power of the talisman?" Lu Zhong's thoughts twitched, and he had the idea of snatching it.
According to the records in the classics, talismans are rarely one-time consumables, and can usually be used more than twice, and some can even be used as many as five or six times. The power is sealed in.
Recalling standing next to the mysterious cultivator and watching how the other party activated the talisman, there seemed to be a sword-shaped mark on the talisman paper representing the remaining number of times. If this represented the number of times the talisman was used, then theoretically the mysterious monk would use this After the ten thousand family established the foundation, there were still three uses left.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong followed the scene according to the results of backtracking.
This tracking is a full day.
Until the sky was completely dark and the mountain mist shrouded the surroundings, Lu Zhong traced to a fast-flowing small river. According to the results of the backtracking of the scene, the mysterious monk was hiding at the bottom of the river.
He held his breath and disappeared, so as not to disturb the person who was hiding ten feet below the river bed.
It was already midnight at this time. Although it was the night of the full moon, due to the obstruction of the thick mountain fog, Lu Zhong's vision was not wide, so it was difficult to keep an eye on his surroundings.
After thinking about it, he decided to do some more investigation, first to explore the bottom of that person.
The scene went back, and soon came to the bottom of the river bed in another way.
In the one-zhang stone cave dug by the magic weapon, there is a pale middle-aged man sitting cross-legged at the moment. There are a lot of bottles and cans scattered in front of him. Judging from the notes pasted on it, they are basically used for healing. .
Judging from the aura he exudes, this person is a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation base.
Undoing the backtracking, Lu Zhong's face was cloudy and uncertain. He thought that there would be an oriole behind him, but who would have thought that this "cicada" could not be swallowed by himself. Weapon, the cultivation base is also a small realm higher than his own, it can be said that even if he is injured, it is not something he can deal with.
"Forget it, treat it as watching a play."
Lu Zhong remembered that he had met a group of monks from the Wan family on the road just now. They seemed to have a tracking tool in their hands, and they had obtained the clothes of the mysterious monk, and they were using this to track and come here.
"Wait a minute, maybe there is a chance to fish in troubled waters."
He was still a little unwilling, and prepared to stay away from here and wait and see.
The Qingyang Jian with nearly one hundred thousand spirit stones is worth taking a little risk. If you can get this treasure, you will have an extra weapon to protect your way on the road of foundation building and cultivation.
Hold back your breath and hide away, far away.
As Lu Zhong expected, monks from the Wan family quickly tracked him down here.
The mysterious monk who was discovered was shocked and angry, and fought against the Wan family monk again.
Both sides come and go, and the mysterious monk gradually loses ground.
Lu Zhong watched from the sidelines, and at the same time, he was paying attention to whether there were onlookers like himself around him, so that he could discover these potential competitors in advance in the coming opportunity.
Fortunately, it was not found.
On the other side, the mysterious cultivator was at a disadvantage. Under the joint efforts of two Wan Family Establishment Foundations, he was beaten back steadily, even holding the Qingyang Mirror in his hand was useless.
Seeing this, he sacrificed the sword-shaped talisman.
"Blue Rock Sword, disease!"
In an instant, the cyan aura pierced the night sky and turned into a rainbow light, engulfed in a turbulent aura, exuding astonishing power, and slashed towards the cultivator of the Wan family on the opposite side.
Lu Zhong stared at the field, quietly waiting for the opportunity to make a move.
After a while, the monk Wanjia suffered serious injuries because he blocked the blow of the talisman. When he saw him here, a thought came to his mind unconsciously, wondering if he should change his target.
Immediately, this idea was rejected again.
The two Wanjia Foundation Establishment used magic weapons, so there was really no need to snatch them.
At this moment, something unexpected happened to him.
The mysterious monk who was fleeing suddenly fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, as if struck by lightning.
"Hahaha!"
A laugh came from a distance, but an old woman in a red robe appeared.
"This fellow Taoist, this person has a great enmity with my Wan family, can you leave it to us to deal with?" The two Wan family Zhuji caught up and surrounded the red-robed old woman one after the other, with fear in their eyes emerge.
The two knew the origin of the old woman, and it was Grandma Honghua who had been wanted by the Qionghua Sect for a long time.
According to rumors, Grandma Honghua was also a disciple of Qionghua Sect when she was young, but she was expelled from the door because of poisoning her Taoist companion, and has been wanted and killed ever since.
To be able to survive for such a long time under the arrest of Jindan Sect, one can imagine the means of Grandma Honghua.
On the other side, Lu Zhong quietly touched the mysterious monk while the three of them were confronting each other.
It was just a few steps before he was discovered by those three people.
He had already expected this.
After all, no one is a fool. Since he can think of making a profit, others can also think of taking precautions.
But since Lu Zhong dared to move, he was naturally sure.
First of all, the mysterious monk, after being assassinated by the old woman, lost all breath immediately, that is to say, he didn't need to worry about counterattack even if he took advantage of it.
Pinching the formula and chanting the mantra, summoning the spiritual wind to wrap around his body.
Then he aroused the supernatural powers of the cassock, followed by the meteor style of extremely fast rushing, and Lu Zhong quickly appeared next to the mysterious monk's corpse at a speed that the three of them could not expect.
Using his extremely familiar corpse-touching skills, he took away the person's storage bag in two or three strokes, and dropped the Qingyang Mirror on the ground, and then accelerated his figure again, ignoring the damage caused by extreme speed, and came quickly. Sneaking away, the next three people can only eat ashes.
"How could it be so fast!" The two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Wan family couldn't help wondering whether the person who was lurking just now was a Golden Core cultivator, or how could it be so fast that they couldn't even react.
The two wanted to catch up, but they just hesitated for a moment, and then disappeared into the mist.
On Grandma Honghua's side, her face was also getting gloomy.
After living for nearly two hundred years, this was the first time she suffered such a big loss.
However, she didn't dare to stay here. The two Wan Family Establishment Foundations on the opposite side had already looked over at this moment, and they obviously had some thoughts about her, maybe she wanted him, Grandma Honghua, to besiege here.
A mere Wanjia is nothing, but if Qionghuazong feels it, then she will fall into a place of eternal doom.
……
His heart was beating wildly. After taking a Rejuvenation Pill to suppress his injury, Lu Zhong relied on scene backtracking to avoid the patrolling disciples of the Wan family, and rushed back to Jingyangfang City night and day.
It wasn't until he was lying on the brocade couch in the cave that he finally dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
He got up quickly and began to heal his injuries.
Wanting to obtain a movement speed comparable to that of a Jindan cultivator in a short period of time does not mean paying the slightest price. The consequence of using the meteor pose to restrain the three of them more than ten times in a row is that Lu Zhong's body is torn in many places at this moment, and he no longer uses mana to force him to move. After being suppressed, he became a blood man in a short while.
But even so, it still made Lu Zhong extremely excited.
Only by paying the price of a serious injury, one can get a treasure talisman, plus a low-grade spiritual weapon Qingyangjian. This deal can be said to be a huge profit, compared with the price, it is nothing at all.
Lu Zhong spent the entire night in healing.
At dawn, he finally suppressed his injuries, and used his Breath Containment Technique to the extreme to restrain his slightly unstable breath, so as not to let others discover the fact that he was injured.
After doing this, he got up and went out.
Today is the day to reply to the Tan family. After learning that the Tan family does not have many bad deeds and can be called a creditable family, Lu Zhong naturally came up with the idea of joining as a guest lord.
When I came to Zhenshifang again, I soon saw Tan Shihe.
"How is Lu Daoyou thinking?" Tan Shihe asked expectantly.
During this period of time, he did not wait in vain. Instead, he did some research on Lu Zhong and learned a lot about this former disciple of the Heling Sect.
On the whole, he is still a credible person, so he is more interested in recruiting Lu Zhong.
Lv Zhongchong clasped his hands to Tan Shihe, and said with a smile, "I don't know what kind of treatment I would get if I joined the Tan family as a guest minister?"
When Tan Shihe heard it, his heart was full of drama!
He hurriedly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Of course our Tan family will not treat Ke Qing badly, and other families will naturally have what they should have. How about we go upstairs to the private room first and talk while eating?"
"Then Lu is not welcome!" Lu Zhong nodded.
The two talked while walking, and when they sat in the box, Tan Shihe explained the treatment of guests.
In the Tan family, there are also grades for guest officials, mainly based on their cultivation. At the early stage of foundation establishment, guest officials can receive a salary of [-] spirit stones per month, plus other miscellaneous income, more than a hundred spirit stones per month. Not a problem. .
But on Lu Zhong's side, because it was agreed in advance that he would teach the flying talisman system.
Therefore, the monthly salary is greatly reduced, and only [-] Lingshi salary is issued. Fortunately, other income is as usual, for example, he can make talismans in his spare time, so the income is even higher than that of ordinary guest officials.
Other benefits include the ability to listen to the Tan family's patriarch's monthly sermons, to read the general classics in the Tan family's library for free, and to learn a second-level spell of the Tan family for free.
As for the treatment of other marginal guests, Lu Zhong didn't intend to ask because it was too detailed and complicated. After all, it doesn't matter whether you enjoy it or not.
When it comes to specific responsibilities, Tan Shihe paused, took out a list that had already been made out of his sleeve, and asked, "I don't know what kind of specific affairs you want to be in charge of, Daoist Lu. This point must be clearly determined in advance. After all, we still have to respect Friends of the Daoist wish."
Lu Zhong took a look and found that they were all properties of the Tan family.
Whether it's a store in a certain place, or the security of a mine, the more important thing is the deacon of the elixir garden, who needs to ensure the safety of the elixir garden to prevent the elixir from being stolen.
He read it carefully and finally chose one.
"Oh, here?" Tan Shihe took a look and found that it was actually a farm where Lingmi was grown.
At first, he was still a little puzzled, but when he recalled the location of the farm, he suddenly understood Lu Zhong's thoughts. He clearly wanted to stay away from the Tan family so as not to get involved in possible disputes.
"No problem, it's settled like this." Tan Shihe has the authority issued by the head of the Tan family, and the recruited guests only need to write a letter, and they can be stamped and recognized by the head of the family, so they still have a certain right to make decisions.
Soon, a spiritual deed was drawn up.
For a period of five years, Lv Zhong supervised the farm for the Tan family. After completing the task indicators for five consecutive years, he will be qualified to teach flying talismans.
In this way, Lu Zhong became Tan Jiakeqing.
……
Liuyun Mountain Farm.
This mountain got its name because the mountain looks like flowing clouds. In the past, monks of the Tan family discovered a weak spiritual vein here, so they opened up a large area of spiritual fields here, mainly planting some spiritual rice that requires less spiritual energy.
Liuyun Mountain runs from east to west, about twelve or three miles long and four miles wide from east to west.
Along the undulating mountains, pieces of spiritual fields have been opened up. There are many houses scattered along the rice paddies, all of which are the residences of mortal farmers who are responsible for cultivating the spiritual fields. Occasionally, one or two slightly better houses can be seen. The residence of the disciples of the Tan family who practiced Spirit Rain.
What is used to irrigate the spiritual field is a spiritual spring gushing out from the top of the mountain. This is also where the spiritual vein of Liuyun Mountain is located. A large mansion with three entrances is built next to it. It can be regarded as the management center of the farm. The mansion and the spiritual spring are surrounded by In the law, to protect the spiritual veins and prevent Liuyun Mountain's spiritual veins from being infiltrated and destroyed.
When Lv Zhong arrived, the big and small stewards of the farm, led by the deputy deacon appointed by the Tan family, waited respectfully in front of the mansion, in order to impress the new deacon.
According to the previous rules, although the deacon does not manage the specific affairs of the farm, he has the authority to punish his subordinates. This can be regarded as the supervision and deterrence of the disciples of the Tan family. If we do not establish a good relationship with them in advance, I am afraid that in the next five years It's worth it.
When everyone saw this new deacon who looked too young to speak, they all couldn't help showing surprise.
After all, Lu Zhong now looks like a young man in his early twenties. It is hard for people to believe that this is a foundation cultivator. If there is no news beforehand, I am afraid that no one would dare to believe this.
"Junior Tan Yunde, I met Deacon Lu!"
The leader of the team was a middle-aged man in a black robe with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is currently at the ninth level of Qi refining. He is the deputy deacon of Liuyunshan Farm and the specific manager of the farm's affairs.
Behind Tan Yunde, all the managers, big and small, also bowed one after another.
The stewards are responsible for the implementation of farm affairs. Whether it is the arrangement of the rainfall plan or the sowing and harvesting of Lingmi, they are all implemented by the stewards. Without them, the operation of the farm will be paralyzed.
When Lu Zhong met them one by one, he had completed his appointment.
In the evening, after finishing the welcome banquet, he returned to his residence.
But after entering, he found that Li Hejun was not the only one in the house, there were two young and beautiful women. After asking Li Hejun, he found out that it was sent by the children of the Tan family.
After a closer look, I found that the two girls were actually sisters.
Liuyun Mountain is rich in aura, nearly one hundred thousand mortals surnamed Tan live here, eat well and live a good life on weekdays, and being nourished by this aura, they can often choose beautiful women.
Looking at their appearance, I'm afraid I'm not very happy at this moment, after all, if ordinary people can get close to the immortal teacher, they can always live comfortably for a lifetime.
Lu Zhong didn't pretend to be hypocritical, and directly accepted the two girls.
After all, it is hard for Li Hejun to deal with it alone, and it is good to have someone to share it with.
On weekdays, she can also serve as her two servant girls.
That night, everyone slept together.
