Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 146
Half a month later, the competition started as scheduled.

The venue for the competition was held in the Tan Family Martial Arts Field as usual, where the arenas had already been set up, and there were also special protective circles, which could protect the participants.

Lu Zhong followed Tan Shihe and came here early.

Since he was the ring leader, Lu Zhong directly stood on the ring.

After a while, someone jumped onto the stage.

"Mount Meng Quan, please give advice to fellow Taoists!" A big bearded man came up, carrying a heavy black iron sword and wearing an iron hat, he looked like a quack.

"Lu Zhong, I was entrusted to guard the ring here..."

After the two finished their opening remarks, the magic circle around the arena was activated, and a khaki-colored cover was quickly formed, which also meant the beginning of the competition.

"My mountain-opening sword is powerful and heavy, fellow daoists, be careful!" Meng Quanshan said in his mouth, and took off the huge sword that weighed at least a thousand catties with one hand, and held it in his hand like this, thud-thump-thump Lu Zhong rushed forward, obviously with the purpose of close combat, and wanted to win with swordsmanship.

"Thank you for reminding me!" The other party sold it so well that Lu Zhong couldn't help but reply.

After all, it was just a competition, there was no need to make a life-and-death fight, and he kept the necessary vigilance. After casting the flying star entraining air before the spell, he summoned a layer of spiritual wind for himself. The arena was more than thirty feet long and wide. , enough to dodge and maneuver on it.

This competition is quite satisfactory, and you will come and go.

The two of them each used their own special skills, Meng Quanshan's mountain-opening sword energy could even split the ring, but they still couldn't meet Lu Zhong, after all, at this moment, he not only used the light body technique, but also learned the "moving star" Step" is an inherited spell that can teleport within a small range.

Although the star shifting step consumes a lot, it is enough to avoid the sword force of Mount Mengquan.

From time to time, several fireballs were condensed to counterattack, and Lu Zhong made his opponent ashamed in two or three hits.

After coming and going, Meng Quanshan, who knew that there was no hope of winning, stopped directly, shook his head at a young man under the stage, and then jumped off the ring without waiting for the other party's reaction.

Walking past the young man, he paused, and said: "According to the previous agreement, the favor owed by Meng is regarded as repayment."

The young man opened his mouth, but said nothing in the end.

"Haha, congratulations to Lu Daoyou for winning the first battle!" Tan Shihe walked over with his hands clasped, laughing loudly.

He also knew the strength of Mengquan Mountain. He opened and closed the mountain sword with one hand. Ordinary monks were no match for this person at all. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhong could easily win.

"After all, it's just a competition. If Fellow Daoist Meng exerts all his strength, I'm afraid it won't be much easier for me." Lu Zhong shook his head and said, but the other party didn't exert all his strength, so why not himself.

Not to mention the biggest trump card, Qingyangjian.

You know, Lu Zhong didn't even sacrifice a magic weapon, so he was fighting the enemy with magic spells just now.

While the two were talking, another person jumped onto the stage.

This time, it was a member of the Tan family.

The monk of the Tan family who was recording the results saw him, and couldn't help reminding: "Fellow Daoist Lu, remember to stop...Third sister, if you can't beat me, don't be too aggressive, there will still be opportunities in the future."

"Yes, Uncle Seven." A tall, horse-faced female cultivator in tight-fitting clothes bowed respectfully to the old man in the audience, showing a very respectful look.

Lu Zhong also nodded to him, expressing that he understood.

Serving as a family guest minister is the most troublesome part. There are a lot of complicated relationships, which is really difficult to deal with. Fortunately, such things are rare, otherwise, just dealing with them will be exhausting.

Not long after, the shield of the magic circle was deployed again, and the competition began.

As if she had seen the last competition, the horse-faced female cultivator rushed forward as soon as she made a move. Obviously, she had learned the lesson of Mengquan Mountain's failure and was going to rush forward regardless of her care to prevent being kited.

Lu Zhong secretly smiled in his heart, ready to surprise her.

Before the horse-faced female cultivator rushed forward, he made a counterattack with a movement of his body.

Lingfengyou girdles her body, adds star-moving steps, and rushes directly in front of the horse-faced female cultivator. The left and right hands already have azure blue aura, which quickly condenses into a real magic sword.

Before the other party had time to react, dozens of swords swished out.

With the blessing of entraining qi, after a dozen or so strokes of Chi Yang's sword, the opponent's protective qi suddenly disintegrated, revealing the defenseless body underneath. Lu Zhong immediately turned over and kicked the opponent's lower abdomen, kicking him directly Fly to the wall of the expanded shield.

"Stop! Third sister, you lost!" Seeing that the horse-faced female cultivator was about to get up, the old man directly called to stop.

Anyone can see that the strength of the two is not at the same level.

If it had been a life-and-death fight just now, the final outcome might be decided in an instant.

"I..." The horse-faced woman was still trying to explain something, but at this moment, she felt warm liquid left on her neck, and when she reached out to touch it, she realized it was her own blood, and immediately realized that she had lost a terrible loss.

When she jumped off the ring resentfully, Lu Zhong would win another round.

"Winning two games in a row, no one dares to challenge again, right?" Lu Zhong thought in his heart, and jumped off the ring, ready to take a rest at the teahouse next to him. Just now he smelled a strong tea fragrant.

Self-proclaimed tea lover, why not taste some good tea?
Just as Lu Zhong sat down, Tan Shihe leaned over before he could hold his teacup, took out a box from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Lu Zhong for successfully defending the ring in advance. Cai Shihe has already asked the clan uncle, and the next step is No one is ready to challenge, so this Jinyang Worm Fire will be handed over to a fellow Taoist according to the agreement!"

After taking the box, gently opened a gap, and immediately felt a sense of dryness and heat.

The color of Jinyang insect fire is pale gold with a trace of blue, it is a kind of Yang fire that is relatively easy to collect, Lu Zhong has seen its description in many classics, and collected it after confirming that it is correct.

Next, since they had nothing to do, the two exchanged their cultivation experience.

It is said that the more arguments are made, the clearer they are, and after confirming their experiences with each other, both sides also gain something.

……

After getting the golden sun worm fire, Lu Zhong immediately returned to Liuyun Mountain.

Time passed day by day.

Apart from the necessary meditating and refining Qi and absorbing Xingyang Gangqi, he spent almost all of his time analyzing formations and comprehending the Flame Jue every day.

Of course, Lu Zhong would also go out of the customs from time to time to defuse the anger in the true essence regularly, which can be regarded as a kind of adjustment to the boring life of cultivation.

But just like what was said in the original paper, the difficulty of practicing Nongyanjue is really not small. Even if he has a lot of experience in the art, he still stumbles when comprehending it. Even if there is a gray fog space to reduce the cost of trial and error, It also took more than two years to finally successfully master the first level of Nongyan Jue.

At this time, he can finally refine Jinyang Chonghuo.

So, with full of expectation, Lu Zhong immediately used the method given by the secret technique of calcining spiritual fire, and used the Jinyang worm fire as firewood. After spending a lot of effort, he successfully condensed a wisp of calcining spiritual fire.

Looking at the golden flame in front of him, a smile finally appeared on his face.

"It's not easy, but luckily it's finally done!"

Without further ado, Lu Zhong immediately brought the calcining spirit fire into his dantian, and tried to calcine his true essence for the first time.

Immediately, golden flames ignited on his body surface, not as excruciatingly painful as expected, on the contrary, it was as warm and comfortable as soaking in warm water.

After observing for a while, Lu Zhong found that the calcining spirit fire really had the effect of removing the chaff and saving the chaff.

The true energy that had been mottled due to taking the elixirs gradually began to become pure. Although the magnitude of this change was insignificant and completely inferior to the spiritual power purification characteristics of the four spiritual arts, as long as he persevered Persisting in calcination, the effect would not be much worse than taking the spirit to remove erysipelas.

"Not bad, really good!" Lu Zhong nodded in satisfaction.

To be honest, he was very satisfied with the fact that Spirit Calcining Fire could have this effect.

The second level of the Flame Jue, according to the secret art of calcining the spirit fire, after the cultivation is completed, the spirit fire will reach a small success, and the effect of purifying the true essence will also be greatly improved by then.

Although he knew that the second level of cultivation would definitely be much more difficult than the first level, but Lu Zhong only realized how abnormal it was after trying it out.

This made Lu Zhong extremely helpless, so he had no choice but to choose to leave the customs.

There is another reason for exiting the customs, which is because the soul is not enough.

Simultaneously accumulating the two treasures of the Spirit Ring and the Qingyang Jian, the consumption rate of the essence is astonishing. The hundreds of essences obtained from clearing the waterways of Yongling City before have been used for more than two years in seclusion. clean and dry.

In order to transform the spirit ring as soon as possible and restore Qingyangjian to its power in its heyday, Lu Zhong could only go out to collect the essence, so as not to delay the cultivation of the spirit weapon.

Forget it, today should be a rest day.

Lu Zhong walked towards the depths of the mansion, he always felt that the newly refined true energy was not working as expected, and it was time to find someone to defeat him.

Walking forward in the wind and snow, with the energy of Xingyang, no snowflakes can fall on him.

He quickly walked to a warm room, which was specially built by him, and there were many water pipes laid underneath. As long as the boiler room in the distance boiled the water, hot water would flow continuously from afar, and the heating would be continuous. It can make the whole house comfortable and pleasant in the middle of winter.

This is also his little return to Li Hejun.

After tossing for a long time, it was considered over.

Lying on the soft brocade couch, Lu Zhong's thoughts kept churning.

Calculating carefully, Ninghuo Bin Jinhua has reached maturity, so the recent period is a critical moment in the game. If something happens to the Tan family, it should be time.

If not, it would be great.

Now he has served as the Tan family's guest secretary for four years, and in less than a year, he will be able to successfully obtain the method of making the flying talisman. Naturally, he does not want anything to happen to the Tan family, and only hopes that Tan Luoyun will succeed in forming the alchemy as soon as possible.

Long before the retreat, I specifically told Li Hejun to collect this information.

"Has something major happened over there recently?"

"This concubine can only collect some clear news, but judging from the information analysis methods taught by the master, the Tan family's transformation of alchemy should be successful this time. Recently, the foreign forces have died down one by one. I want to come to Tan Luoyun to form alchemy. Success should be in the near future." Li Hejun said softly.

……

Another ten days passed.

What Lu Zhong didn't expect was that Tan Luoyun got the Ninghuobin Golden Flower. Although he successfully triggered the alchemy of the alchemy, he still failed to form the alchemy in the end, and fell under the tribulation of the three nine thunders.

Thirty-nine Thunder Tribulations is a hurdle that must be experienced to form an alchemy.

Lu Zhong used to think that in the classics, it was said that only one in a hundred monks who established the foundation successfully formed an alchemy, and thought it was just an exaggeration of the author, but he never thought that it was very likely to be true.

The sufficient preparations made by the Tan family were in vain in a catastrophe.

"The world is really impermanent..."

He sighed silently.

It is also inevitable to think that if it is his turn to cross the catastrophe, how should he deal with it?

In the classics, there are also ways for monks to deal with thunder disasters, but those methods all require the help of rare spiritual objects, or lightning-shielding stones that have been extinct for thousands of years, or thunderweeds that have been excavated by ancient monks, or difficult to trace. The ancient alien species he was looking for.

"It seems that we should also pay attention to the method of lightning protection..." Lu Zhong didn't want to have finally cultivated to the perfection of foundation establishment, and prepared enough spirits to assist the formation of alchemy, but in the end he was smashed into ashes by the Sanjiu Thunder Tribulation.

"The best age to form a pill is before the age of two hundred."

After thinking about it for more than a hundred years, it would be enough for him to find one or two ways to avoid lightning.

Thinking so in my heart, life is still going on step by step.

After Tan Luoyun's failure to form the alchemy, the Tan family's control over the various industries suddenly increased a lot, and the benefits of filial piety that fell into Lu Zhong's hands every month were reduced visible to the naked eye.

This move is not difficult to explain. After all, the Tan family has a big family and a great business, and the ancestors of the ancestors are still in their prime, so if they can gather enough spirit stones during this period, as long as they manage to get a golden pill, It is not necessarily impossible to complete the golden core alternation.

Lu Zhong didn't care about the filial piety of the spirit stone, the most important thing was to obtain the flying talisman system.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and the cold winter will soon pass.

Finally, the five-year period is over!
On the day of resignation, to be honest, he was really reluctant.

In the past five years of being the foundation of the Tan family, life has been really smooth, and all the time and energy can be spent on the improvement of cultivation and the improvement of one's own strength.

Not only did he obtain a scroll of Array Dao inheritance, but he also practiced a long-term benefit of the Forged Spirit Fire.

No matter how you look at it, this Tan family is a blessed place for him.

But in the face of Tan Shihe's invitation, Lu Zhong finally chose to refuse.

Flood dragons cannot be raised in shallow water. If he really wants to achieve golden elixir, he must travel to a wider world. Only in this way can he gather the resources for elixir formation. Otherwise, he will stay in such a small place all the time. One day, ambitions will also be broken.

He stayed at Tan's residence for another month.

Under the personal teaching of a talisman maker, Lu Zhong successfully mastered the method of making flying talismans.

The second-order talisman is different from the first-order talisman. The drawing method of the talisman head, the gallbladder, and the feet of the talisman is much more complicated, especially the talisman feet that play an encryption role. He estimates that if he has no one to teach him, he must rely on his own ability to analyze it. , at least ten years to learn.

In any case, Lu Zhong finally mastered the first second-order talisman.
