Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 184 Sweet Spring Island

Half a month later, Ganquan Island.

It is located in the east of Changchun Fairy City, [-] miles away.

In order to refine the spiritual liquid of fortune as soon as possible, Lu Zhong brought all the materials for building the alchemy room and came here by flying boat after taking pictures of the island.

View from the flying boat.

It can be seen that Ganquan Island is crescent-shaped, more than [-] miles long from north to south, and more than [-] miles wide from east to west. There is a mountain range in the center. The peak is where the spiritual node of Ganquan Island is located.

Facing Ganquan Peak, it is a natural deep-water port.

Such a terrain is perfect for building a commercial port.

Landing directly on the top platform of Ganquan Peak, Lu Zhong saw the traces of life left by the exploration monks. There were all kinds of pots and pans, and there were a lot of caked dung on them. Obviously, the food residues attracted the foraging birds and animals. There are also suspected footprints of monsters.

Following the traces of his life, he found a cave that sloped down to the center of the mountain.

The cave was chiseled with magic tools, presumably to search for possible minerals on Ganquan Island, but judging from the introduction of the deacon of Changchun Valley at the spiritual land auction that day, Ganquan Island obviously except for a second-order spiritual vein. There are no other valuable resources.

"Moo!!!"

A long roar came from the east sea area.

After Lu Zhong heard this, he thought to himself that this place really deserves to be in the outer sea, and the rare sea beast in the inner sea, he actually encountered it on the first day he came here.

Sea Beast is the abbreviation of Monster Beast in the Sea.

Different from land monsters, sea beasts not only have a wide variety, but are generally not weak, especially the famous sea beasts on the sea emperor list. When monks are not familiar with water and their strength is weakened, the sea beasts on the list can often surpass the ranks Killing people, so there are so many shipwrecks in the East China Sea route every year.

But these have nothing to do with Lu Zhong, he just wants to find a place to practice alchemy.

In the second half of each year, when the "tide period" when sea beasts are restless comes, they will seal their spirit veins and return to Changchun Immortal City for refuge.

Soon, a rock wall appeared in front of him.

There are a few seal symbols pasted on the rock wall, which were left by the previous exploration monks, and can temporarily seal the spiritual energy. Lu Zhong is going to replace them with the small Sumeru magic circle he brought.

Small Sumeru Magic Formation, produced by the Great Sumeru Sect of the Middle Earth Formation Dao, belongs to the third-order miniature auxiliary magic circle. It has a very strong effect of sealing spiritual energy and spiritual energy, and can store [-]% of the spiritual energy in the formation. It is usually the same as the second-level The spirit-locking array is used together to ensure the maximum amount of spiritual energy intercepted.

In order to buy it, Lu Zhong spent a total of [-] spirit stones.

It is already equivalent to a small half of a spiritual weapon.

After several layers of simple bans were formed, Lu Zhong broke open the rock wall blocking the passage with Zhuanghong in his hand, and suddenly a strong spiritual energy rushed to his face, and at the same time, a huge cave appeared in front of him.

The cave has a radius of nearly a thousand feet, and it can be seen that it is naturally formed.

In the center of the cave, there is a bright and translucent multicolored crystal. It breaks through the rock formation from the ground and is constantly overflowing with incomparably pure aura.

And this is the spirit vein of Ganquan Island.

There are many types of spiritual veins, including the mineral spiritual veins in front of Lu Zhong, and spiritual veins with spiritual eyes as the core. It is said that the central node of the third-order super giant spiritual vein in Changchun Valley is a growing tree. The tree of spiritual eyes that has been around for a long time.

Centering on the Lingmai node, Lu Zhong arranged the small Sumeru formation.

Immediately, most of the spiritual energy overflowing from the spiritual veins was locked in the small Xumi formation, and then he used the large spirit locking formation to envelop the entire cave.

There is also a small Sumeru formation. After all, there is an upper limit to the concentration of aura in the formation. If the limit is exceeded, the aura will stop overflowing, so let it discharge the excess aura into the large formation before reaching the limit. , Later, Lu Zhong planned to open up a spiritual field in the cave to absorb the excess spiritual energy.

Once the formula is played, the small Sumeru array is set up.

In this way, the work of sealing the spirit veins of Ganquan Island is basically completed.

"Screw rustle..."

The sound of scales rubbing against the rock wall came from outside.

Lv Zhong poked out his consciousness and frowned.

He only leaked a little spiritual energy, but he didn't expect to directly attract a second-order sea beast. It seems that the number of sea beasts in the outer sea seems to be far beyond his expectation.

"It's just right, it's time to practice."

Lv Zhong just had a clue when he was learning the art of drawing stars, but he was worried that he would not be able to practice it.

However, training hands is training hands, and the spirit veins cannot be destroyed because of this.

He raised his hand and played a few magic formulas, and the small Sumeru array started to work. It could block the flow of spiritual energy internally, and its external defense was not weak, not much worse than the second-order defensive magic circle.

As for the spirit lock circle, it is just a simple spirit lock circle, and its defense power is negligible.

After a while, a ferocious python poked its head into the cave.

It is about ten feet wide and about nine feet high. The python's head is as narrow and long as a shuttle, covered with arrow-shaped blue-gray scales, and there are many old barnacles attached to it, emitting a pungent salty smell.

Seeing that crystalline vein, the icy snake pupils glowed with abnormal brilliance.

Almost at the same time, a red light came in a flash.

With Zhuanghong, Lu Zhong hadn't had time to raise the knife. This was purely an ordinary strike from a spiritual weapon, but with the repulsion bonus of the star-stretching technique, Zhuanghong's flying speed was astonishingly fast.

Before the python's head could react, Zhuanghong sank into the snake's skull with a puff.

Splashes of blood poured red on the rock wall.

Immediately afterwards, Zhuanghong pierced through the lower jaw of the snake's skull.

After circling for a while, it fell into Lu Zhong's hands again.

Looking at the sea beast that was severely injured by him in one blow, he was extremely shocked at the moment.

This blow, of course, had elements of a sneak attack, so the sea beast was unprepared, and it was pierced through the skull by itself, causing important brain damage, and it was seriously injured to the point of death.

In addition, Zhuanghong itself is a spiritual weapon, and its sharpness is not comparable to that of a magic weapon.

However, the role of Astrology should not be underestimated.

Without it to speed up, Zhuanghong would probably get stuck in the sea beast's body.

If you're unlucky, you might be taken away by the sea beast and lose a spirit weapon for nothing.

Without thinking too much, Lu Zhong struck while the iron was hot.

Continue to make up for the sea beast, and kill this second-order sea beast in two or three hits.

Stopping, he suddenly felt a little dizzy.

poisonous!

He secretly said that it was not good, and quickly took out the detoxification pill that he carried with him and took it, and the discomfort gradually subsided.

Looking at the unknown sea beast in front of him, Lu Zhong decided to read the sea beast illustrated book and related classics when he returned to Changchun Fairy City, so as to avoid the oolong incident like today.

Defeating the sea beast, but carelessly dying under its poison, that would be a shameful death!
Lu Zhong didn't realize how big the sea beast was until he dragged it out with brute force.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is at least thirty feet long.

Standing in front of such a giant python, even if it is completely dead, still gives people a strong sense of oppression.

"So much meat, how long will it take to eat it?" He was thinking about how much the ingredients could sell for, and how he should cook it so that the taste would not be monotonous.

Without the company of his concubine, Lu Zhong's only pastime is to eat.

At this moment, the snake's body was still twitching, showing its amazing vitality.

Release the spirit puppet and let it peel the scales of the snake.

He himself came to the entrance of the cave, and a bronze gate was installed.

I didn't forget to add a plaque, which was written by Lu Zhong himself. He has made good calligraphy all the year round, and wrote "Ganquan Cave" on it.

He also set up a concealment formation next to him to hide the entrance of the cave, making it integrated with the rock wall next to him.

Enter the cave and start laying out trap passages.

Layer after layer of prohibition was laid down, and the entire passage could be described as murderous every step of the way.

If there is another invasion by foreign enemies, these traps alone can cause a lot of damage. At the same time, I did not forget to add a second-order golden spirit lock rock formation to the cave where the spiritual vein is located, so as to prevent things from digging through the mountain and running directly into the spiritual vein node. Come.

This arrangement took Lu Zhong half a month's work.

During this period, whenever I have time, I will deal with the snake corpse.

Snake scales the size of a washbasin are piled up directly into a hill. Although not all snake scales can be used as refining materials, they are still a lot of money, at least worth more than a thousand spirit stones.

The intact snakeskin can also be sold for a good price.

In addition, there is also its demon pill.

The demon pill is the size of a skull, glowing with a blue light, soft to the touch but not solid, it gathers most of the monster power of the second-order sea beast, and looks like a red sun when viewed directly with the Qi hope technique, it is the most valuable material on the sea beast.

Its role is not small, and it is the best supplement for the advancement of various python monsters.

If this second-order demon pill alone is put on the auction, with its perfect appearance, there will not be much loss of the demon spirit contained in it, and it will not be a problem to sell nearly ten thousand spirit stones.

It is said that in the East China Sea, in order to solve the problem of the shortage of elixir, the technology of refining alchemy from demon pills has been developed. Lu Zhong does not know whether this is true or not. It is bound to usher in a wave of soaring.

After all, for now, the price of the demon pill is still low.

Compared with the demon pill, the value of other items such as poison sac, snake blood, and snake gall is much lower.

The only exception is snake meat, although most of them are poisonous, only one tenderloin is not poisonous.

But the poisonous part that can't hold back is worth hundreds of thousands of jin. Even if it can only be disposed of to those Yushou Zhuang, the price is as low as one talisman per catty, and five or six thousand spirit stones can be sold.

All in all, killing such a sea beast can bring more than [-] spiritual stones. Compared with hunting a second-order monster, the income is significantly higher. The main reason is that the sea beast is huge and will bring spiritual materials. The number of people will increase, and at the same time hunting sea beasts will also increase a lot of risks.

After all, such a big sea beast, if not for the special terrain.

It is really not easy for ordinary monks to kill it. It usually requires a small team to work together to have a chance. The seemingly huge rewards are worth a few people. Compared with the risk of life that needs to be paid, it suddenly becomes Unsurprisingly.

Therefore, many monks would rather go to the south to hunt monsters than fight with sea beasts.

Take the time to taste the charcoal-grilled snake tenderloin.

I have to say, the taste is really good!

It tastes crisp but not rotten, and the gravy overflows in one bite, and a pinch of seaweed salt is sprinkled on it, and the delicious taste is even more delicious than before.

The only disadvantage is that the blood will surge after eating, and it must be digested with luck.

……

Meditate and practice all night.

The next day, Lu Zhong inspected Ganquan Island for a week.

I have a general understanding of the situation on the island. Mountains and hills account for most of the island, and the rest are grassy plains, scattered with many rivers and streams, and several lakes of different sizes.

Birds and beasts, only some rabbits and birds, it is expected that the big ones were eaten up by sea beasts.

Traces of sea beast activities can be seen everywhere.

Looking south in mid-air, you can also see a blurred piece of land.

Ganquan Islands, Ganquan Island is not the largest, there are more than a hundred large and small islands in the archipelago, and there are countless reefs and reefs. The largest one is the Qingquan Island in the south. , not suitable for monks to live in.

Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Zhong returned to Ganquan Cave.

For alchemy, it is not suitable to refine directly at the spiritual vein node. Although the spiritual vein is not fragile, he has plans to cultivate it into a third-order spiritual vein. At that time, he will not only need to do a lot of construction work, but also arrange the spiritual veins to enhance the formation , it is not suitable to set up the pill room there.

So a cave was specially opened on the rock wall.

The cave is not big, only about ten feet long, and it can be dug out quickly by cutting the stone with makeup red.

Along the way, he also discovered a vein of iron ore.

It doesn't make much sense. Although there is a difference between Fantie and Lingtie, they are not the same thing at all, and there is no possibility that Fantie will produce any good things.

If you don't see it, continue to arrange.

Gathering spirit array, spirit guiding array, and various auxiliary arrays.

Then install the Guishui phoenix-fin stove on the base.

A dan room began to take shape.

Then, Lu Zhong also needs to set up a spirit guide array on the side of the spiritual vein node to guide the spiritual energy accumulated in the small Xumi array to the alchemy room, and the workload is not less than opening the alchemy room.

In the process, it is also to arrange constraints and restrictions, and to draw pipelines.

It took him a long time to finish it.

Give it a try, as long as the alchemy guiding spirit array is opened, there will be a steady stream of spiritual energy gushing out.

"Huh, the preparations are finally done!"

Looking at the deserted Dan room, Lu Zhong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

When I was in Lintao Pavilion, there were people asking about my health from time to time, but it was not as lonely as it is now.

He couldn't help feeling a little melancholy in his heart, but soon he adjusted his mood. After all, it's useless to think too much, it's better to stand still now.

Put Jinyang Chonghuo into the hearth of Guishui Phoenix Wing Furnace, and start refining the elixir prepared in advance.

The process of refining and making spiritual liquid is similar to that of alchemy.

The first two steps are processing and purification, followed by fusion and transformation.

The difference lies in the third stage, which is different from the spirit injection and division of alchemy. When refining the spirit liquid, the spirit injection step is particularly critical. If enough spirit energy cannot be integrated into the pill liquid, then the refining will be considered a failure. The spiritual liquid that has reached the predetermined spiritual energy concentration has almost no effect when taken as a pill.

This step should be called "injecting spiritual fluid".

In this refining, in order to save the elixir, Lu Zhong first planned to refine the Huangya Pill, using the method of creating the spirit liquid, and the finished product could also be called "Huangya Creating Liquid".

Soon, the first two steps are over.

After all, he had refined high-grade Huang Ya Dan, so he was no longer a novice alchemist.

The probability of failure is not high.

Next, is the most important step of injecting the spirit fluid.

In this regard, Lu Zhong, who tried it for the first time, was actually not very sure.
