Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 148 Integration
In the following days, Lu Zhong was obsessed with cultivation.

With enough spirit stones, he didn't have to worry about the elixirs for increasing his cultivation. From one pill every three days in Liuyun Mountain, he raised it to one pill a day, which brought about a rapid increase in cultivation.

It has to be said that the Yin Yuan effect of female cultivators is really very effective.

Lu Zhong was originally worried that his rapid improvement of cultivation base would make his true energy dry, but he never thought that after more cultivation, the effect would be similar to that of the previous penance cultivation, only a little vain.

Thinking about it, as long as it is refined occasionally, hidden dangers can be eliminated.

At the same time, the effect of forging the spirit fire was gradually revealed.

Although Jinyang Chonghuo is just a random number, the calcined spirit fire made from it as firewood can still purify the true essence, which is no less effective than taking some elixirs for purifying erysipelas.

Thanks to this, Lu Zhong finally succeeded in breaking through to the middle stage of foundation establishment after a year of hidden cultivation.

Feeling the total amount of real energy expanding like a spring in the dantian, his face was full of joy, and he secretly thought that he had thrown nearly ten thousand spirit stones into it, and finally got a satisfactory harvest.

It's just that Lu Zhong's complexion quickly collapsed again.

Compared with the progress in practice, the talisman shop he opened failed to obtain the expected income, and encountered a situation similar to that of Huang Shuyuan when she first arrived in Yanlingshanfang City, and the talisman made could not be sold at a price.

In such a huge Lingyue fairy city, the fierce competition of all walks of life far exceeds Lu Zhong's imagination.

There are three large and small talisman shops in Xianyifang alone.

In this case, even if he has a relatively rare flying talisman, in front of those large chambers of commerce, his competitiveness is still not enough, so he can only sell it at a lower profit to attract popularity.

As a result, a flying talisman that sells for [-] spirit stones only makes a profit of [-] spirit stones.

It's fine if the profit is low, and there are often unsalable situations.

This situation really made Lu Zhonghao feel depressed for a while.

He estimated that if he wanted to make the business of the talisman shop boom, he would have to wait until he learned the rare talisman to attract a large number of customers, otherwise he would have to maintain this tepid state.

Fortunately, in the newly built printing workshop, the income from spirit stones there is not bad.

Relying on the hundreds of classic story books he had read in his previous life, the printing workshop had made a very good income, and he could also earn more than a thousand spirit stones every month, which was just enough to offset the daily expenses.

After picking up his mood, he pushed the sleeping Li Hejun and Bai Ling away from his body. Lu Zhong got up from the wet bed, took a few cleansing symbols on his body, and was about to visit a foundation-building cultivator he had just met.

Since the way of making talismans is not feasible, he is going to try to make money by making money.

Compared with the simple talisman-making method, it is almost impossible to successfully step into the formation method by self-study without inheritance, or under the condition of a famous teacher, so even if you are only a half-baked second-order formation mage , Lu Zhong still pinned his hopes on it.

No, the purpose of visiting that foundation-building cultivator was to accept the next formation commission.

Incidentally, he also wanted to integrate into the foundation establishment circle of Lingyue Immortal City.

After reaching the foundation building period, Lu Zhong felt more and more difficult to fight alone.

Occasionally, where a treasure is born, he is the last one to know every time. It is not like the protagonist in the novel. A bunch of chances and benefits are lined up to send up. If he doesn't make any changes, he will really have to be honest. As a talisman maker, he made a living selling talismans.

This is safe, but if you want to obtain the alchemy spirit, the chances are slim.

Moreover, integrating into the circle is also very helpful to practice.

Participating in one or two exchange meetings from time to time, not only can you gain information, but you can also hear the experiences of others. This is much better than holding a book alone and hiding in a quiet room to think hard.

Soon, the animal cart stopped in front of a magnificent mansion.

This is the residence of a monk surnamed Xu, whom Lu Zhong met when he was taking the second-order formation mage assessment.

This person's full name is Xu Tianqing, and he is currently in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Because he likes to support younger generations, he is considered a celebrity in the foundation establishment circle of Lingyue Immortal City.

Lu Zhong chose him as his guide to integrate into the circle.

For this reason, let's not talk about the gift of nearly a thousand spirit stones thrown in.

"It's Daoist Lu, please come in quickly!" An old man with a short beard happened to be at the door, and when he sensed Lu Zhongxiu getting out of the car, he smiled and said, "It just so happens that there are other fellow Daoists visiting today. I will let the old man introduce it to fellow daoists!"

This person is Xu Tianqing, and his attitude today is much more enthusiastic than usual.

"Thank you!" Lu Zhong smiled and cupped his hands.

In his heart, he was secretly thinking that he had paid for so long, and it seemed that he had finally paid off.

Of course, the breakthrough in cultivation is also an important reason.

The foundation-building monks in Lingyue Immortal City benefited from the reduced difficulty of obtaining foundation-building auxiliary spirits, so the number is actually not small. It is said that there are nearly a thousand people.

Most of them are at the early stage of foundation establishment, and it is normal for him not to be taken seriously before.

Talking as he walked, he soon came to a hall smelling of wine.

There are already many monks sitting inside, basically all of them are in the foundation building stage, and there are two of them in the late foundation building stage. At this moment, one is sitting on the deepest altar, telling his experience in cultivation, Obviously, Lu Zhong happened to catch up with an exchange meeting this time.

Seeing the two people coming in, everyone got up one after another.

"Let me introduce you. This is Lu Zhong, fellow Daoist Lu, who has just arrived. Don't say that the old man doesn't take care of everyone here. Fellow Daoist Lu is a second-tier formation mage. If you need to set up a formation in the future, you might as well consider it first." !” Xu Tianqing said cheerfully.

Hearing this, everyone who had looked down upon Lu Zhong could not help but greatly change their views.

I thought it was just an ordinary foundation builder, but I never thought that it was actually a formation mage. The status of the former is far inferior to that of the latter. If you don't go to the formation, the mage can make more money by setting up a formation.

Facing the good behavior of everyone, Lu Zhongdu responded modestly.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Tianqing introduced the identities of the monks present to Lu Zhong.

Aside from those ordinary foundation building, Lu Zhong has gained something new during his trip. It turns out that the two late stage foundation building monks in the field all have extraordinary backgrounds. One is a famous adventurous casual cultivator named Xu Yang, who often He has haunted various dangerous and secret places and left behind many famous deeds. The other is a celebrity in the foundation circle, Dongfang Ling who is often called "Donglu Layman". Zuo successfully integrated into the foundation-building circle of Lingyue Immortal City.

Harvesting one after another, Lu Zhong felt happy.

Not to mention, there will be an exchange meeting later, and a lot of cultivation experience can be gained.
