Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 145 Forging Spirit Fire

In the following days, whenever Lu Zhong had spare time, he would study the formation.

After spending more than half a year, I finally had some ignorant understanding of the Dao. At present, I can analyze the first-order magic formation, and I can roughly figure out the composition of the formation.

It's like the Spirit Gathering Formation, which was successfully analyzed by Lu Zhong.

This formation is composed of three major components: gathering spirit, purifying spirit, and locking spirit. Therefore, the spirit gathering array has the function of gathering spirit energy to increase the concentration of spirit energy, removing chaff and purifying spirit energy, and locking most of spirit energy in a small space.

The next thing he has to do is to analyze these three components in detail.

When they are fully understood, they will be able to form formations only by prohibition, and then learn some knowledge of refining weapons, and then there will be the possibility of refining the spirit-gathering formation.

This is also the path to the formation master's promotion given in the book "Lian Xing Shuo Array".

Without the guidance of a famous teacher, Lu Zhong can only grope alone. Although the speed of progress is slower, fortunately, all the knowledge points are summed up by himself, so there is also the benefit of a solid foundation. This is a little psychological. comfort.

The rapid progress on the formation path is naturally not like water without a source and a tree without roots.

In fact, this is inseparable from the new changes in the gray fog space.

After a period of experimentation, Lu Zhong finally determined its change.

In short, the ability to interfere with items in the backtracking scene.

Limited to a range of ten feet, he can affect the items in the backtracking scene when he consumes the power of the soul. Whether it is to activate the talisman or take the elixir, he can get the same feedback as the real world.

Applied to the groping of the array, it reduces Lu Zhong's groping cost.

It is precisely because of this that he was able to make such significant progress in the formation in a short period of time.

Otherwise, at the progress rate of a normal monk, even if he has a little talent in the formation, it will probably take three to five years to achieve this achievement.

"Unfortunately, if what I get is the inheritance of alchemy, I'm afraid I can start alchemy." Lu Zhong thought a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he also knew that he was a little wishful thinking.

The complete inheritance of alchemy is so precious, but all monks who have things in their bodies are hiding them.

As a result, many monks who want to learn alchemy can only learn alchemy step by step through the way of apprenticeship, and only want to master a part of the skills. They can refine several kinds of elixirs to earn resources and are satisfied. It seems that the road is close.

You can't chew too much, Lu Zhong understood this truth, so he didn't think too much about it.

After scribbling down a few more strokes in the notebook to record the experience he had just analyzed, he tidied up the things in the quiet room, then got up and walked out the door.

A few days ago, there was a letter from Jingyangfang City, saying that the flying boat had been refined.

So Lu Zhong is now planning to go to Jingyangfang City to fetch the flying boat.

Turning around and coming to the deacon's hall, Li Hejun is still sitting here, but because he has nothing to do, he is leaning on the soft bed behind the screen and dozing off, looking like he is sleeping soundly.

Seeing this, Lu Zhong didn't wake her up, but wrote down what he wanted to explain on paper.

……

After getting the light body technique of the flying star entraining air technique, his running speed is not slow, but it took Lu Zhong three hours to reach Jingyangfang City at a fast speed.

Soon came to the refining workshop.

Goodbye to that red fellow Taoist, the other party is wearing a suit of delicate clothes at this time, wrapping his ripe body, looks like a sweet "peach", and looks more and more attractive, but recently, the relationship between men and women Lu Zhong, who was a bit bored, looked away after just a few glances, and looked at the small green wood boat in the opponent's hand.

"To live up to my fellow Taoist's expectations, this concubine has successfully refined this high-grade Wood Spirit Yufeng Boat!" Hong Wanyun said proudly, her fair neck was already flushed with excitement.

Flying artifacts are inherently difficult to refine, and all aspects need to be considered, not only must there be a high enough speed limit, but also be able to save spiritual power during long-distance flights, and must also ensure a certain degree of defensive ability, so the internal formation prohibits staggering Vertically and horizontally, it takes a lot of energy just to match.

Not to mention, this is still a flying boat with the supernatural power of "Yufeng".

Yufeng magical power is a very powerful magical power among magic weapons, which can make the flying speed of the flying boat reach the limit of magic weapons. , but it is far beyond, comparable to ordinary flying instruments.

Lu Zhonggang had learned the Dao of Formation and knew the meaning of the word Yufeng, so he was naturally delighted. After delivering the final payment for the refining of the magic weapon, he took over the exquisitely shaped wooden spirit Yufeng boat, and he couldn't wait to go outside Fangshi. give it a try.

When he came out from the gate of Fangshi, Lu Zhong patted the storage bag on his waist, and a small blue boat was swept out by the rays of light, and after injecting some mana into it, it floated up in front of him.

He looked at it for a while with fond eyes, and he didn't need to look at the manipulation formula given by Hong Wanyun, but relied on his own attainments in formations to rewrite a set of familiar manipulation formulas, which can prevent Immediately taking it for your own use after being taken away by others can also speed up the proficiency of the magic weapon.

Swish a few spells, the size and size Ruyi restraint on the Wood Spirit Yufeng Boat was activated, and it slowly grew in size, and after a while, it turned into a half-foot boat that could accommodate several people, showing a streamlined appearance throughout. Fusiform, it looks far more beautiful than those flying boats like fishing boats.

Lu Zhong nodded in satisfaction, and appeared on the boat in a flash.

Manipulating the flying boat to tilt left and right, as long as the change in amplitude is not too drastic, the body of the boat is very stable. It seems that Hong Wanyun's crafting skills are not bad among craftsmen.

"Perhaps the restoration of the Qingyang Mirror can also be handed over to her..." Lu Zhong was thinking in his heart, how to do it specifically, so as to ensure that this can be done without leaking the secret.

While thinking, he played several spells towards the flying boat below him.

Immediately, a layer of blue spiritual wind rolled up from the surface of the flying boat, and immediately flew into the sky.

"This wood spirit wind boat refined with tree essence wood core is not as big as the Helingzong's building ship shuttle, but with the blessing of the wind power, I am afraid that no one can fly faster than the flying boat." Lu Zhong sat cross-legged in the middle of the flying boat, feeling the cloud air blowing towards him, his hair was blown almost vertically.

The formula in his hand changed again, and suddenly there was a spindle-shaped cyan cover on the outside of the boat. This is the "Wood Spirit Cover". It also has a certain protection ability against external attacks.

"I really want to know what the speed of this boat will be after turning on the wind control power?"

Lu Zhong was full of expectations and began to increase the output of mana. Immediately, the flying boat began to accelerate suddenly, and immediately shot out like an arrow off the string. A certain understanding.

Immediately afterwards, he whispered in his mouth: "The magical power of Yufeng, Qi!"

Immediately, the true energy in the body flew away like flowing water, and at the same time, a circle of blue aura burst out from the wood spirit Yufengzhou, and the aura wrapped in the outer layer was suddenly tens of times denser, and the speed immediately increased dramatically.

"Hahaha!" Lu Zhong tried his best to support his figure and laughed loudly.

Just one word.

Cool!
Along the way, many monks who were flying in the air immediately lowered their heights when they saw this blue light flying at such a high speed, all of them looked dumbfounded.

Many people are knowledgeable and can see that the blue light is not the rainbow light transformed by the Golden Core cultivator, but a flying boat commanded by the Foundation Establishment cultivator. It is precisely because of this that they are so surprised. After all, this outrageous The flying speed is simply beyond their cognition.

Sitting on the boat, Lu Zhong watched the clouds fly by, feeling the speed that he had never experienced before.

But soon, he had to slow down again.

There is no other reason. The Wood Spirit Yufengzhou in the extreme speed state consumes too much mana.After only flying for half an hour, it consumed all the mana equivalent to the normal initial stage of foundation establishment.

Even if flying at a normal speed, Lu Zhong estimates that he can fly thousands of miles per hour.

"Since there is a flying boat, it's time to visit the Tan family."

It has been almost two years since he became the guest of the Tan family, and he only went to Cuiyunling where the Tan family resides once when he was receiving the token of the guest of honor, and that time he came and went in a hurry, and he was only focused on rushing to the Liuyun Mountain Farm to take up his post, and he didn't care about it at all. Enjoy the benefits that a passing guest should have.

Not to mention anything else, at least one free Tier [-] spell must be learned.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhong turned the direction of the flying boat.

……

Cumulus Ridge.

As can be seen from the name, this place belongs to the place where clouds gather all the year round.

Looking from the flying boat, Lu Zhong could see a billowing sea of ​​white clouds stretching mightily towards the skyline, which gave him the illusion of returning to the Helingzong.

Shaking his head, he lowered the flight altitude of the flying boat.

After passing through the thick clouds, there is a huge building complex comparable to a city below, covering an area of ​​at least ten miles.

It can be seen that the entire Cumulus Ridge is separated by three walls of varying heights. Lu Zhong is not ignorant of this, and knows the specific functions of each part.

The outermost area is basically all kinds of farmland, providing food and various indispensable raw materials to the mortals behind the first city wall, including but not limited to bricks and tiles, bamboo, iron and copper ore, etc.

Behind the second city wall is the residence of ordinary members of the Tan family, and there are also many spiritual fields, planted with spiritual rice with low spiritual energy demand, and some elixir of low age.

Inside the third city wall is the residence of the Tan family, which is covered by a large clan protection formation with a radius of three miles. This formation not only serves as a defense against foreign enemies, but also prevents the spiritual energy from leaking out, thus ensuring that the spiritual energy of the Tan family can be maintained. at a high level.

What Lu Zhong is going to now is the Tan family's residence behind the third city wall.

Controlling the flying boat to fly over the second city wall, he quickly lowered his flight altitude, landed on a square after a while, and then walked towards the city gate not far ahead.

Show the guest token, and you will be released immediately.

Perhaps it was because of the golden flowers in the fire, the atmosphere in the Tan family's place was a bit tense at the moment, and pairs of monks could be seen patrolling past from time to time, and he was checked several times along the way.

After asking people on the way, Lu Zhong came to the library.

After just a few cursory glances, he felt startled. The secret path is worthy of being a secret place, with formations everywhere, and there are many hidden auras in the dark. It can be called a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair.

"This is probably the most heavily guarded place in the Tan family land!"

A middle-aged man with thin cheeks, sitting in the lobby directly opposite the library gate, was flipping through the classics in his hands, when he heard Lu Zhong's footsteps, he raised his head and took a look:
"A new guest?"

"Yes, this is the guest token." Lu Zhong bowed his hand to the other party, and then handed over the token to the other party.

At the same time, he secretly sensed the other party's aura, and found that it was much higher than his own. It is estimated that at least it is a late foundation establishment cultivation base.

The middle-aged man checked the guest token, returned it to Lu Zhong, and said with a blank expression: "According to the rules of the clan, Fellow Daoist Lu can choose a second-level spell for free. This is the list of second-level spells in the library. After the selection is made, it will be informed to me, and someone will pick it up after a while."

As he spoke, he pushed out a pamphlet.

Judging from the number of pages in the booklet, it is estimated that there are not many second-level spells stored.

Lu Zhong has long been used to this situation.

Knowledge in the realm of comprehension is precious, and first-level spells cannot be obtained at will, so there is no need to talk about second-level spells.

To be honest, it was beyond his expectation that the Tan family could store so many second-level spells.

Sit down at the teahouse on the side of the lobby, and soon a maid comes up to serve tea and water.

Lu Zhong started to read, thinking about his choice.

In this book "Tan's Tier [-] Spell List in Jiyun Mountain", there are a total of [-] Tier [-] spells, broken down into [-] offensive spells, four defensive spells, and eight auxiliary spells.

"There are so few defensive spells!"

Lu Zhong thought for a while, and he understood that most of the spells that can play a defensive role are kept by the sects and will not leak out unless it is absolutely necessary, resulting in very little external defense. The Dan family is also hard to come by.

In this way, the most valuable are defensive spells.

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it after reading all the spells."

Lu Zhong has the Flying Star inheritance, so he really doesn't like ordinary second-level spells. He just wants to find a rare spell in it, which is best for himself.

When he turned to auxiliary spells, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Calcined spirit fire.

After reading the introduction about this technique, Lu Zhong first looked excited, and then gradually became weird.

"This is clearly a secret technique. How can the Tan family be willing to share it and let the guest learn it?" Lu Zhong didn't think the Tan family would be so kind. After all, judging from the efficacy of the spiritual fire, this fire can burn away the impurities in the monk's true energy. The effect of making it more pure is also extraordinary when used against enemies, not inferior to ordinary spiritual fires.

Puzzled, he had no choice but to try to find the answer like the middle-aged man sitting in the hall.

The other party had an expression that he had known for a long time, without saying a word, he stretched out his hand and handed out a piece of paper full of words. This paper was frizzy and had obviously been read many times, and it described the rough cultivation conditions of Forging Spirit Fire.

If what is said on paper is true, the conditions for cultivating the Spirit Fire are extremely harsh.

First of all, to practice this secret technique, you need to master a fire control method called "Nongyan Jue" before starting. This fire control method is divided into three layers. The difficulty of the first layer is relatively low. Many of the Tan family have spells Talented monks, as long as they work hard, can spend three to five years to practice initially;

However, the difficulty of practicing the second level of Nongyanjue has suddenly increased, so that in the hundreds of years since the Tan family acquired this technique, only the ancestor Tan Yuying has practiced it to a small degree, but the second level of cultivation The benefits are also very obvious, she used this to successfully form the alchemy;
As for the third level of Dacheng state, the difficulty of cultivation can no longer be described as difficult, so that it requires special medicinal pills to assist, and it takes three to four hundred years of hard work to have the possibility of success.

Glancing at the main ingredient of the "Calcinating Spirit Fire Pill", Lu Zhong's heart suddenly became cold.

Good guy, it's actually a millennium drug age!
That is to say, he can only do the second level of Yan Jue at most, which is the small success of Forging Spirit Fire.

"But this is enough, at least it can increase my chances of success in forming alchemy." Lu Zhong thought to himself.

The most important thing to be a human being is to be down-to-earth, not to be too high-spirited.

As he continued to look down, he suddenly felt relieved.

Although the realm of the Forging Spirit Fire Secret Art is directly related to the number of layers of the Nong Yan Jue, it is not necessary to practice the Nong Yan Jue to a great success before starting to practice. You only need to master the first level of the Nong Yan Jue to practice the Forging Spirit Fire The secret technique, the forged spirit fire obtained from cultivation, also has the effect of purifying true essence.

Listed above, there is also the practice method of forging the spirit fire.

Depending on the specific situation, it is also difficult or easy to practice. The simple practice method only needs to find a kind of yang attribute spiritual fire at will. The selected flame is related to the power of the forged spirit fire. The more yang and strong the spirit fire, The better the effect of the calcined spirit fire after training, this will also be reflected in the purification of true essence.

After reading it, Lu Zhong already made up his mind.

"Trouble fellow daoist, please register, and I will choose this forging spirit fire next time."

"Up to you." The middle-aged man said indifferently.

He has been sitting here for many years, and he has met countless monks who exchanged this technique, including foreign guests like Lu Zhong, as well as members of the Tan clan. At the beginning, he still had the motivation to persuade, but after seeing more, he will die. This kind of thinking, after all, some people really don't look back until they hit the south wall.

After the registration, someone will send a piece of jade jade soon.

"Preach Yugui!" Lu Zhong said in surprise.

"Oh? Lu Keqing also knows about this thing?" The middle-aged man asked curiously, recalling the information he read from the identity jade card in his mind, remembering that this is a casual cultivator from a sect, so he thought so.

Evangelism Yugui can be regarded as a substitute for Evangelism Beads.

In terms of storage capacity, it is not enough to store a whole inheritance, but it is enough to record a spell, and the confidentiality is equivalent to that of the pass beads, which can effectively prevent the spread of spells, so always keep sects and families, as well as spell shops As an information carrier for high-level spells.

Lu Zhong immersed his spiritual consciousness, and the secret technique of forging spirit fire was obtained.

After using up the exchange qualification, he didn't leave in a hurry, but frantically browsed the classics in the library, especially the various identification books, which were his focus.

In order not to waste time, he directly used his spiritual sense to assist in turning the pages. Anyway, he has the gray fog space, so he can sort out what he saw and deepen his memory when he has time.

In half a day, I can read as many as I want, and the rest are some idle books such as biographies, which will hide a lot of information that the author deliberately or unintentionally disclosed, and there is a possibility of hiding secrets of chance Sex, it's just that Lu Zhong doesn't have so much time.

Just now a maid came to pass the message, and it was Tan Shihe who sent someone to pass it on, saying that he wanted to talk about something.

Guided by the maid, he soon came to a mansion.

In the hall, Tan Shihe in green shirt was already waiting.

He has put on a lot of weight recently, but his brows are full of worry, when he saw Lu Zhong coming, he stood up to greet him, cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Friend Lu, are you here all right?"

"Liuyun Mountain has been fine, and it's a comfortable life." Lu Zhong smiled and replied casually.

This is the truth, the life in Liuyun Mountain Farm is considered the most comfortable in his life, he doesn't have to worry about the lack of resources, and he can always relieve his boredom, if possible, he really wants to continue.

Hearing this, Tan Shihe was also envious in his heart. He also knew about Lu Zhong's recent situation, but it was much better than him, a person who was deeply in trouble and was too busy. Moreover, there was still a big trouble right now. If it could not be resolved in time, it would take more time Big problem.

Recalling the analysis of Lu Zhong's character in the information collected by the clan.

At this time, Tan Shihe sighed lightly, and said bluntly: "To be honest, I have a heartless request..."

"Oh, if it's inconvenient, then don't talk about it." Lu Zhong didn't ask for anything from others, so he wasn't afraid of offending others. As soon as Tan Shihe opened his mouth, he knew what the other party was going to say, so he naturally didn't want to be troublesome.

As a cultivator, if you don't take the initiative to cause trouble, you can live longer.

"Fellow Daoist Lu is really a wonderful person!" Tan Shihe was choked for a moment, and after a long smile, he said quietly: "But Fellow Daoist doesn't want to hear it, Shihe wants to say it too..."

Speaking of this, he simply didn't have any shame, and continued: "But there is a competition, and I want to let the fellow daoist take the shot."

Lu Zhong rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking how this person is more shameless than himself.

Since the other party is shameless, he can't just refuse like this, otherwise he might really make the other party angry, so he could only ask: "What kind of competition is there, is life in danger? What's the benefit of losing or winning?"

Is there any benefit to losing?

Now it was Tan Shihe's turn to roll his eyes. Fortunately, he was very clear about the importance of benefits for casual cultivators, so he explained them one by one.

It turns out that the various foundations of the Tan family are not always in the hands of fixed tribesmen, but a competition will be held every ten years. At that time, the original leader will be challenged by the people of the same tribe. Let go of the estate you hold.

Zhenshifang under the leadership of Tan Shihe is such an industry.

The precious food boat is related to his personal cultivation needs and the supply of cultivation resources for his children. Naturally, he is unwilling to hand over the precious food boat to others and live the miserable life of relying on subsidies from the clan. Therefore, in a situation where he has no confidence in his own strength So he pinned his hopes on Lu Zhong.

Compared with at least two people, Tan Shihe thinks that his strength is not as good as that of Lu Zhong.

As the ring master, he is qualified to invite monks of the same realm to fight on his behalf.

Of course, so does the challenger.

After listening to Lu Zhong, he thought that this rule is really interesting.

However, he boasted that even without using Qingyang Jian, his strength could be considered top-notch among all the monks in the early stage of foundation establishment, and it would not be difficult to win against opponents of the same level.

"What about the benefits?"

"I heard that Fellow Daoist has changed the Calcined Spirit Fire. As long as he can successfully guard the precious food boat, Shihe is willing to give him a golden yang worm fire as a reward!" Tan Shihe seemed to be prepared, and offered his price.

Jinyang insect fire... Lu Zhong thought for a while, and remembered that this is indeed a kind of Yang fire, which is just enough to meet the needs of cultivating spiritual fire. Although the power is indeed lower, it can be called a precious thing .

Before he gets a better Yanghuo, it's not a bad idea to use it to improvise.

Calcining for a while longer can also make the true essence more pure.

It's just that there is a prerequisite for getting Jinyang Chonghuo, which is to help Tan Shihe defend the ring.

Lu Zhong didn't want to work in vain, so he asked: "If you think Tan Daoyou has collected information about your opponent, why don't you just take it out, so that I can teach you to weigh it. If you are sure enough, it's okay to take over the matter."

"Give."

Tan Shihe handed out a jade slip, and then added to dispel Lu Zhong's doubts: "Fellow Daoist Lu doesn't need to worry about cross-realm competitions. According to the rules of the clan about competitions, fellow Taoists will only meet people like you and me who are in the same realm. The opponent in the early stage of foundation establishment."

After reading the content of the jade slip, as the other party said, all potential opponents are in the early stage of foundation establishment.

Among them were members of the Tan family, and some who seemed to be invited to fight on behalf of Lu Zhong, and many of them were guest ministers, which opened Lu Zhong's horizons.

"Of course, if this matter fails, Shihe will also offer a bottle of 'Qingyun Pill' here, and he will definitely not teach fellow Taoists to do white work!" Tan Shihe is obviously scheming, saying and doing things one way.

After Lu Zhong heard this, he naturally understood the other party's intentions.

But there is no way, I really want to get that Jinyang insect fire.

After careful consideration, he decided to be a substitute thug. If he could get Jinyang Chonghuo as soon as possible, his true energy would be more pure, and the chance of forming an alchemy would increase a little.

It is not easy to form a pill, and it depends on the superposition of these chances to exchange for the possibility of success.

"If that's the case, then leave this matter to me!"

After that, Lu Zhong lived in Tan Shihe's mansion, waiting for the start of the competition half a month later.
