Longevity begins with loose cultivation

While thinking, the sound of bidding gradually faded away.

"Two hundred and seventy high-grade spirit stones!"

"The bid for the Yunxuan box is two hundred and seventy, is there a higher bid?"

"I'll pay three hundred!"

Seeing that the time had come, Lu Zhong quoted his psychological price.

The Profound Handle Talisman is once in a thousand years, owning it is equivalent to having an extra life-saving hole card, and its value is unmatched by Lingshi.

Now that we have met, how can there be any reason to miss it?
"It's the first time for three hundred high-grade spirit stones!" The auction host heard the bid, and when he thought that the reward was suddenly higher, he blushed with excitement, and shouted almost hoarsely, "The Tianyun box bid three hundred, is there any more?" High... three hundred high-grade spirit stones for the second time!"

All the bidders were shaking their heads at this moment.

The previous two hundred and seventy had already been increased one by one, and the sudden increase of thirty showed that the bidders still had room to spare.Instead of emptying their homes to grab this Profound Handle Talisman, it would be more cost-effective to keep the spirit stone and take pictures of more urgently needed spirit objects.

So there was silence.

"Third time for three hundred high-grade spirit stones, deal!" The auction host shouted.

Seeing that he had successfully photographed the Profound Handle Talisman, Lu Zhong felt relieved, and his expression was already full of anticipation.

Soon someone sent what he photographed.

After the money and goods were settled, Lu Zhong lifted the seal on the jade box, and after a soft flash of light, a delicate jade talisman came into view.

The Xuangang talisman is blue in color and is carved from a whole block of psychic jade. On the surface, the talisman head, talisman gall, and talisman feet are drawn with black talisman ink hooks. Without exception, they are all made of a few strokes. It looks like a natural thing, as expected from the hands of Huashen Taizun.

With a fluke mentality, Lu Zhong looked at it carefully for a while.

But soon, he gave up his plan to steal it, because the encryption method of Xuangang Tianfu was too delicate, so that he, the Nascent Soul talisman maker, couldn't see the slightest flaw.It is estimated that it will take at least three to five hundred years to crack it.

It doesn't pay off.

In the following time, as long as Lu Zhong sees something he likes, he will sell it without hesitation. As long as it does not exceed the psychological price, he will bid for everything.

Among them, there are many special spiritual objects in the middle of the country, which are considered rare in Nanban.He also took photos of them one by one, planning to be a second-hand dealer again and bring them back to Nanman for sale.The profit from doing this is extremely considerable, maybe you can earn back half of the spirit stones you spent when buying the Profound Handle Talisman.

After the auction ended, Lu Zhongben wanted to catch another fish.

After going out, he deliberately wandered around the city, but he never felt anyone following him. Obviously, the "moral level" of the middle-earth monks was extraordinary, and he couldn't help feeling quite disappointed.Seeing that the plan to make a fortune failed, he had to buy some classics along the way, and then returned to the cave where he rented.

As soon as Lu Zhong entered the door, he saw a graceful figure sitting in the hall, the depression in his heart was swept away immediately, and at the same time he smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"You are finally back!" Shui Ni smiled coquettishly, got up and walked in front of Lu Zhong, hugged his waist very naturally, looked at the man in front of him carefully, couldn't help showing a happy smile, and said coquettishly: "Everything you did before , I have seen everything in my eyes, hard work..."

"What are you talking about?" Lu Zhong couldn't help laughing bitterly.

Shui Ni was so serious that he was not used to it. He glanced around, coughed lightly to relieve the embarrassment, and then said: "Okay, if you have anything to say, let's talk in the room. Of course you woke up It’s a happy event, but I still can’t rest assured that the parasites on the soul will not be eradicated for a day.”

"En." Shui Ni naturally wouldn't object.

So the two walked side by side to the bedroom in the cave.

As soon as the two of them sat on the bed, Shui Ni returned to her previous normal state, which greatly reduced the suspicion in Lu Zhong's heart.

After a lot of tossing with her, the enthusiastic Shui Ni calmed down, and then Lu Zhong began to check her body, and found that the parasitic worms on the soul were dying of hunger because they had not been replenished for a long time .

"It's okay, as long as it takes a while, it will be completely eradicated." Lu Zhong said truthfully.

For the sake of caution, he still used real backtracking to check the process of Shui Ni's waking up when he left.To save her from being robbed by insects and not knowing.

He didn't hesitate to spend most of his spiritual power until he was sure that there was really no problem, so he didn't feel relieved.

……

In the following days, Lu Zhong basically didn't go out again.

Apart from meditating and refining Qi every day, and paying attention to Nanman's movements, the rest of the time is basically spent with Shui Ni, connecting with her in simple terms.

Time flies, half a year has passed.

The news finally came from the fleet.

The fleet to the East China Sea is ready to go.

The two came to the pier side by side. Lu Zhong looked at the large sea-going ships that were as tall as mountains and at least two hundred feet long, and once again felt the gap between Zhongtu and Nanman.

On the wharf trestle, which is more than a hundred miles long and more than ten miles wide, there are already many monks gathered.

They were either driving in a car, or riding majestic spirit beasts, or standing together in groups of three or four, and it looked like a vast expanse from a distance. There were at least tens of thousands of people, and they were all quietly waiting to board the boat.

There is also a mountain of cargo on the side, which is being carried by the body training cultivator and loaded into the cargo hold with the wide open belly.

While Lu Zhongjing was waiting to board the boat, a voice suddenly came from his ear.

"Two fellow daoists, can you move forward and talk about it?"

Looking back, it was a middle-aged monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes smiling at the two of them.

Lu Zhong sensed this person's breath a little bit, and found that it was a Nascent Soul cultivator. He felt that the other party's cultivation base was as deep as the bottomless ocean.

"I'm afraid it's the mid-stage cultivation of Nascent Soul!"

With a shudder in his heart, he knew that the middle-aged man in front of him should be the Nascent Soul who was in charge of the fleet this time.

It is said that when sailing in the boundless sea, encountering sea beast attacks is a common occurrence, but they did not expect that such a Nascent Soul mid-term overhaul was in command of this fleet.

This is not a good thing.

Regardless of the fact that there seems to be only a small realm between the early Yuanying stage and the middle Yuanying stage.

But in fact, the strength gap between the two is not small at all. It usually doesn’t take much for the latter to defeat the early Nascent Soul monks. If the timing is right, killing the early Nascent Soul monks on the spot is not small possible.

Inviting such a monk to sit in the township means that the fleet is either betting on some important treasure, or there will be a danger on the way that requires the use of a mid-stage Nascent Soul monk to solve it.

As thoughts surged, Lu Zhong thought of many possibilities.

"The other party took the initiative to invite, probably because they have something to ask for, since it's the case...it's okay to get in touch. If you really can't reach an agreement, looking for other fleets is also the solution."

Thinking of this, he glanced at Shui Ni, who nodded slightly.

Obviously, she also had the same idea.

The two walked over and came in front of the middle-aged man. At this moment, the other party spoke first, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I, Yu Mingzi of Tianyuan Immortal Palace, have met Fellow Daoist Lu and Fellow Daoist Shui."

Even the calendars of the two of us have been checked, it really worked hard.Lu Zhong meditated in his heart, but the surface was still calm, he returned the gift to Yu Mingzi, and said with a faint smile:
"I met fellow Taoist Yu Mingzi."

Shui Ni also simply returned the gift.

"There are too many people here, so it's inconvenient to talk." Yu Mingzi glanced at the crowd, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he cupped his hands and said to Lu Zhong and the two: "Let's move to the boat, it's cleaner there, just as I got it earlier Some good refreshments, and you can entertain two fellow Taoists for a while."

"Since that's the case, let fellow daoists lead the way." Lu Zhongying said.

Seeing that Shui Ni didn't speak, Yu Mingzi couldn't help but smiled slightly as if he was certain of something, nodded and said nothing, and led the two of them towards the boat.

During the process, the three shuttled through the crowd.

With the ability of Nascent Soul monks to hold their breath and hide, they seemed to not exist in the eyes of the low-level monks. They boarded the boat through the trestle bridge without anyone noticing.Then shuttled through the wide corridors, and soon came to an elegant hall.

Soon, tea and cakes will be served.

Once you look at the pastry, you can tell that it is from the hands of a famous teacher, and it is full of color, fragrance and taste.

The tea is a high-quality spiritual tea, exuding a spiritual light visible to the naked eye, and one can tell that it has extraordinary effects at a glance, and there are signs of improvement in cultivation just by smelling it.

"You two, why don't you taste it? This fairy jade cake and Buling tea are treasures that I will hardly enjoy!" Yu Mingzi took the initiative to break the atmosphere in the hall and invited the two to taste pastries and tea.

With the help of real backtracking, Lu Zhong, who had verified the tea and pastry, enjoyed it unceremoniously, picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.

I have to say that the materials used in this pastry are really extravagant.

The spiritual rice should be Saixian jade, a variety that needs to be grown in a very high concentration of spiritual energy to bear fruit. It is also mixed with various candied fruits, which are also made of rare spiritual medicine.

After eating a small piece, he drank another sip of spiritual tea.

The specific taste is second to none. Feeling the rich spiritual energy melt in the mouth, like falling into the clouds, this feeling is quite good, and can greatly relieve the fatigue of the soul.

The cultivation base is also slowly increasing, no less than a day of penance.

Seeing Lu Zhong's expression, Shui Ni, who was born in Middle Earth, also became curious.

Although she had heard of Xianyu Cake and Buling Tea for a long time, she had never tasted it.Including the Nascent Soul Grand Priests of the Immortal Spirit Sect, they have also never enjoyed this level of spiritual tea and cakes.

The reason is that Xianyu Cake and Buling Tea are special products of Tianyuan Xiangong.

After Shui Ni tasted it, she found that it really lived up to its reputation.

Lu Zhong had tasted the cakes and spiritual tea, but he did not forget the business of his trip, put down his teacup and looked at Yu Mingzi, and said, "Daoist Yu Mingzi has something to say, you might as well say it here."

"To be honest, something happened on the way." Yu Mingzi sighed lightly, and explained: "According to the information I received, the demon saint in the boundless sea, for some reason, had a few days ago to control all the people under his command. Demon cultivator, lost control..."

"There is such a thing? That is the monster saint of the Jiao clan!" Lu Zhong's eyes showed surprise.

Secretly thinking in his heart, why did this kind of thing happen again, before it was Xue Sheng, but now it is Boundless Sea Old Jiao.

Who will be next?
The balance is broken a little bit.

This world of cultivating immortals is really going to become more and more chaotic.

"No matter what the reason is, the sea has not been peaceful recently, and demon cultivators often loot the fleet in order to obtain blood to improve their cultivation. The fleet I am in command of has a large number of people, and the number of low-level monks is nearly [-]. It will definitely become the target of the demon cultivator's robbery." Yu Mingzi said worriedly.

As a monk of Xianzong, he was still in the middle stage of Yuanying. Although he looked at the scenery in front of others, he actually knew the pain in his heart.

Loose cultivators have their difficulties, and Zongmen cultivators also have difficulties.

Yu Mingzi still wants to go further on the road, so he will naturally participate in the conflict of interests within the sect.

Although the Tianyuan Immortal Palace is large, the resources under its control can be called astronomical, and there are still countless great monks that can be cultivated.If he wants to occupy a promotion spot, the other forces will have one less.

Conflicts arise from this, and when no one is willing to give up, whoever can make fewer mistakes will win the advantage in the competition.

Right now, if the fleet is robbed by demon cultivators.

Then his hope of becoming a great monk will become slim.

Therefore, there is no room for loss in this mission.

It was precisely because of this that Yu Mingzi warmly entertained Lu Zhong and Lu Zhong, especially Xingyang Zhenjun Lu Zhong, a ruthless man who had a record of beheading monks of the same rank.

As for Shui Ni, since she is Zhenjun Xingyang's master, she is not too weak.

"If I can get the help of these two people, even if I encounter a demon cultivator on the way, I can easily deal with it." Thinking of this, Yu Mingzi's mood inevitably fluctuated, and his emotions rarely became tense.

But he was still calm and composed on the surface, throwing out his own conditions, put two bottles of pills on the table, and said in a deep voice: "If the two of you agree to take care of one or two on the way after the fleet departs, I am willing to offer you two The bottle of gold qi nourishes the real pill, as a reward for the two shots."

Golden Qi Yangzhen Pill, Tianyuan Immortal Palace's famous baby-raising secret medicine, is hard to find in the outside world.The effect is to increase the efficiency of Nascent Soul's accumulation, and the efficacy of the medicine can last for a hundred years. Taking it when the cultivation base is at the bottleneck stage, it also has the effect of breaking the bottleneck.

Yu Mingzi took out two bottles at once, which was considered a big investment.

Lu Zhong naturally understood how rare the Golden Qi Yangzhen Pill was.Shui Ni next to her was quite surprised when she heard it, she didn't expect the other party to be so decisive.

The two looked at each other and exchanged opinions with their eyes.

Agree!
Obviously, this kind of elixir can be obtained with just one shot.Compared with the possible risks of fighting skills, the benefits are obviously higher.

"Fellow daoist, you are welcome. Since we are traveling together all the way, it is natural for the fleet to take action when it encounters a demon cultivator attack!" Lu Zhong's face was extremely natural, and he took the two bottles of pills directly and gave them to Shui Ni. Ping, then continued: "Since Fellow Daoist is so righteous, then the two of us will definitely spare no effort to protect each other when the time comes."

"Okay, okay! With the words of fellow daoist, I feel relieved!" Yu Mingzi stroked his beard and laughed, and felt relieved all of a sudden after this matter of his heart was settled.

Afterwards, the three of them discussed the assignment of escort while eating and drinking.

The final result of the discussion was that Lu Zhong and Shui Ni would guard the rear of the fleet, and most of the ships in the rear were a mixture of passengers and cargo, so they were less attractive to demon cultivators, and the pressure on the guards was not great.And Yu Mingzi sits in the Tianyuan Immortal Palace team, guarding the passenger ship carrying a large number of monks.

During the conversation, the fleet had already pulled anchor and set sail.
