Begin the path of immortality from mortals

Chapter 431 Qingming Guard! Advanced Void Refining!

"What kind of mission?"

Hearing Qingli's inquiry, Lu Tiandu retracted his mind, gently held Qingli's jade hand, and said with a smile:
"Of course this can be easily accomplished, and we can get a lot of merit points to exchange for various resources. It won't delay our cultivation mission!"

"Hehe, Lu Lang, you want it all!"

After hearing Lu Tiandu's answer, Qingli narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly.

"Haha, you can't work for free if you work for others!"

Lu Tiandu smiled slightly, "Besides, this kind of task may not be much for others, but it may not be for us."

After a pause, he continued to transmit:

"What's more, I can advance to the realm of emptiness refining in a short period of time. Although your realm has fallen to the middle stage now, I have a healing holy medicine in my hand. When you settle down, you can refine it in a few years and return to the perfection of spiritual transformation. . During this period, I only need to spend a little time to practice the "Yin Yang Transformation Art", plus the "Wangxian Pill" you took before and the barrier-breaking elixir in my hand, I estimate that it will only take a few years to advance to the void. How can we spend our time doing labor for Tianyuan City?"

"What's more, after we advance to Void Refining, we will become Golden Guards. Earning merit points based on our strength will not be easy! Therefore, this task is not a big deal. Only our own cultivation is. We don’t!”

"Well, I listen to you, Lu Lang!"

After hearing what Lu Tiandu said, Qing Li had a look of surprise on her face. She did not rush to ask Lu Tiandu what kind of elixir or elixir it was. She looked at Lu Tiandu with a pair of wonderful eyes and said softly, "Li'er You don’t know how lucky you are to be able to meet Lu Lang after ascension!"

"It's fate that we can meet each other! From now on, you and I are one, so we don't have to be so polite."

Lu Tiandu smiled.

Tianyuan City's war guard system has two categories: legal cultivation and physical cultivation. It is divided into five categories according to cultivation level:

In the lineage of Fa Cultivator, in addition to the golden-armored Jinting Guards with Void Refining cultivation and the blue-armored Qingming Guards with Divine Transformation cultivation that Lu Tiandu had seen before, there are also the Black Iron Guards with Nascent Soul cultivation.

In the body cultivation line, there are middle-level body refiners with yellow armor and high-level body refiners with white armor, who can fight against golden elixir cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators respectively.

The human race has a large population, but only one person in a thousand has spiritual roots. Therefore, many mortals without spiritual roots will embark on the path of body refining.

Although there are many body refiners, the majority are actually low-level body refiners. Less than one in a hundred can advance to the intermediate level, and when they reach the high level, there is a steep decline.

Even so, body refiners in yellow and white armor are still a very important force in Tianyuan City's defense system.

From the introductions made by Peacock, Yinyue and Zhao Wugui on their journey to show their goodwill, Lu Tiandu had a clear idea of ​​the types of missions that the Tianyuan City war guards could accept.

These missions can theoretically be accepted by all five war guards, but in reality there are various hidden conditions.

These tasks are divided into four categories according to the nature and direction of Tianyuan City's war guards: internal and external, combat-oriented and non-combat-oriented.

Internally, the battle is mainly about internal surveillance, investigating mysterious incidents, dealing with unstable factors, combating evil cultivators, etc. For example, this is the current responsibility of the two former Zhao Wugui;
For internal non-combat purposes, it mainly focuses on cultivating elixirs, refining elixirs, refining weapons, making talismans, researching magic circles, etc.

External combat directions include patrolling territories, combating infiltration, annihilating invading enemies or spying on intelligence, assassination and beheading, guarding resource points developed in the wilderness, etc.

For external non-combat purposes, the main purpose is to enter the wilderness to search for various spiritual medicines, spiritual trees, ores, ancient beasts and other spiritual resources. After finding them, they will be marked and the information will be brought back to wait for the subsequent development of high-level monk groups.

Generally speaking, external missions are basically in the wilderness, which is much more dangerous than staying in the safe three realms and seven places internally, but the corresponding rewards are naturally different.

The reward standard is nothing more than the more dangerous the task, the more rewards you will get. The greater the contribution you make, the more rewards you will get.

If you want to obtain a large amount of merit points and exchange them for resources to improve your cultivation, you will naturally have to do more dangerous tasks or make some huge contributions.

Although combat-oriented tasks are more dangerous, non-combat-oriented tasks are also indispensable.

If there are no monks who specialize in cultivating elixirs, refining elixirs, refining large quantities of magic weapons, spiritual tools, talismans, array flags, etc. and doing logistical work, the combatants will not be able to fight for a long time.

And if there are no monks who continue to enter the wilderness to search for various resource points, then the cultivation resources of millions of monks in Tianyuan City will also be a big problem, which cannot be completely solved by the three realms and seven places alone.

The Tianyuan City monks can practice faster than the monks in the Three Realms and Seven Lands, relying on the massive resources obtained from the wilderness.

Tianyuan City, as a strategic checkpoint of the Three Realms and Seven Lands, has formed a strict operating system for countless thousands of years. A god-transforming monk, even a powerful ascended monk, is only an insignificant part of a certain link. That’s all.

Therefore, although Lu Tiandu had understood Zhao Wugui's hint before, becoming an external combatant and leading a team of gods to perform a few missions could earn a large number of merit points, but he did not take this path seriously.

The main reason why he came to Tianyuan City to report was to obtain an aboveboard status so that he could act more conveniently in the human race in the future. As for other merit points, cultivation resources, techniques, treasures, materials, etc. were not the most urgent.

As for him, the Dust-killing Pill that restricted other ascended monks or descendants only lacked a magical elixir.

According to his estimation, even if he could not find the corresponding high-year elixir in Tianyuan City, it would not be difficult to find seeds or seedlings.

No matter how bad the situation is, these cannot be achieved. As long as the task of finding the elixir is issued and a considerable reward is given, the elixir can be found quickly.

Therefore, even if he has to serve in Tianyuan City, he must still put his own cultivation first.

Among these tasks, it is very easy for him to make alchemy, weapon refining or talisman making that are not for combat purposes.

And as long as he accepts these tasks and has the help of the girls in the tower to complete them, he doesn't have to worry at all.

Furthermore, for things like alchemy and refining, the women in the tower also need a lot of materials to improve their skills. Taking the tasks in Tianyuan City to practice is a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, this kind of task must have corresponding requirements for success rate. After all, no one is a fool.

Two hours later, Zhao Wugui appeared in front of the two of them again, but this time he had changed into a Confucian scholar's attire. Entering this cave, he said with a smile:

"Both fellow Taoists are ascended monks. Although fellow Taoist Qing's cultivation has temporarily declined, according to convention, those who ascend will become Qingming Guards. Therefore, this time I applied for the status of Qingming Guards for the two fellow Taoists..."

As he said this, he waved his hand casually, and two streams of green light flew towards Lu Tiandu and the other two, but they were two pieces of green jade pendants.

Lu Tiandu took the jade pendant and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness. The jade pendant was filled with certain restrictions. In addition to recording his basic information, it seemed to have some other uses that he didn't understand.

Sure enough, Zhao Wugui then talked about other uses of this identity jade pendant, such as using this jade pendant to view relevant information, receive tasks, release tasks, etc. in Tianyuan City.

"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Zhao!"

Both Lu Tiandu thanked them.

As for Zhao Wugui's friendship with peers, apart from Min Rou and Ye Yu's face, what is actually more important is Lu Tiandu's cultivation.

As an ascendant with good strength, he naturally has good vision. From the aura around Lu Tiandu, he can naturally sense that Lu Tiandu has good combat prowess.

Moreover, Lu Tian was able to safely reach the spiritual world after encountering a great battle in the void outside the world. To be honest, he himself was not sure if he could do it with his current level of cultivation. This also indirectly confirmed some of his feelings.

Furthermore, those in the late stage of divine transformation or those who have reached perfection can advance to the realm of void refining in a short period of time, so there are very few void refining monks who will show off in front of them.

Finally, as they are both Ascended, there is no conflict of interest and they are natural potential allies.

"Ascended monks will not be assigned tasks in the first month, but one month later they will receive tasks to exchange for dust-killing pills and other cultivation materials. I have introduced the situation of serving in Tianyuan City to two fellow Taoists before. I don't know. What are your plans, fellow Taoist?" After Lu Tiandu and the others put away their identity jade pendants, Zhao Wugui continued to ask.

"Li'er needs to recover from her injuries next. I can feel that the bottleneck has been loosened, so she will go into seclusion in the next few years to seek a breakthrough. Therefore, the two of us are planning to take on some alchemy or weapon refining tasks later, and wait until we advance to the void refining stage. Make other plans!”

Lu Tiandu didn't hide anything and said bluntly.

Qingli, on the other hand, looked like she was listening to Lu Tiandu's arrangements.

"I see. Judging from Fellow Daoist Lu's confident appearance, I think I am very confident about advancing to Refining the Void. So, Zhao is here to wish Fellow Daoist a smooth advancement!"

Zhao Wugui was secretly surprised when he heard that Lu Tiandu felt that he could break through the barrier within a few years, and re-evaluated Lu Tiandu's strength.

This speed of breaking through the level is also very fast among the ascendants, but there is nothing strange on his face, and he smiles and congratulates.

He originally thought that powerful Ascended Ones like Lu Tiandu would take on combat missions with rich rewards in order to quickly obtain training resources, so he originally planned to recommend some descendants of Ascending Ones who were familiar with him to join Lu Tiandu's team. .

In this way, the team's probability of completing the mission and survival rate are greatly increased, which is a win-win situation for both other team members and Lu Tiandu.

However, Lu Tiandu's attitude of preparing to retreat directly made his plan fail.

However, thinking that after Lu Tiandu advanced to become the Golden Guard, he became stronger and had more choices, he very much agreed with Lu Tiandu's choice.

"The rewards for these tasks such as elixir refining and weapon refining are not small, but there are related requirements for skills. At the level of elixir and spiritual treasure, there are many restrictions. After failure, there are still some compensation requirements. Fellow Daoist Lu will have to Pay attention!"

Zhao Wugui thought for a moment and made a few more remarks.

"Thank you for your care, Fellow Daoist. In the human world, I am known as the Three Wonders of Dan, Qi, and Talisman. It is not difficult to complete this simple task. If Fellow Daoist Zhao is of any use, just say so..."

Lu Tiandu said confidently.

Although the name of the "Three Secrets of Alchemy and Talismans" is fake, in terms of real skills, it is not too much to say that Lu Tiandu is ranked among the top three in the human world.

When he mentioned this at this time, he also knew that the alchemy masters and weapon refinement masters of the human and demon races had high status, so he naturally wanted to lay the groundwork for some future plans.

After he completes the corresponding tasks, his name will naturally be noticed by others, and there is a high probability that someone will come to him later to refine weapons or elixirs.

In this way, on the one hand, the girls can have a lot of materials to practice while practicing. On the other hand, after passing some rare materials and elixirs from him, if they are useful in the future, they can directly use them in the world. generated from the source,

Moreover, since the Min family’s secret alchemy skills were taught by Min Rou, and with Min Rou’s permission, they were passed on to other girls. In the future, when they become proficient in the skills, the rate of elixirs will be 20 to 30% higher than that of other alchemy masters. This extra elixir will Each pill of the medicine is extremely valuable and very profitable.

As for the fact that he did not take up the task of drawing spiritual talismans, the main reason is that there are not many types of spiritual talismans in the spiritual world, and all of them require silver inscriptions to be drawn. Silver inscriptions are difficult for most ascensioners.

The girls in his harem have long learned the silver script. The nine immortal talismans recorded on the page of the Golden Palace and Jade Book obtained by the human world have the various raw materials purchased by Tianling City before. Three or four of them have been understood before. The girls refined several of them.

Therefore, accepting the task of drawing the talisman and refining the corresponding talisman was also one of his plans later.

"I didn't expect fellow Taoist to be so versatile! If Zhao needs it later, he will definitely come to trouble fellow daoist!"

After hearing Lu Tiandu's words, Zhao Wugui looked at him with admiration again, and he suddenly realized:

"It seems that Fairy Min has a good relationship with fellow Taoist, maybe it's also because of fellow Taoist's good alchemy skills, right?"

He took the opportunity to inquire about the relationship between Lu Tiandu and Min Rou.

"Fairy Min's alchemy skills are indeed extraordinary, and she deserves to be called a master of alchemy! I have benefited a lot from my initial guidance!"

Lu Tiandu smiled slightly and said nothing more.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then Zhao Wugui left his cave location and transmission notes before saying goodbye and leaving.

According to convention, newcomers like Lu Tiandu should choose their own cave at this time, and as ascendants who choose a cave for the first time, they do not need to offer spiritual stones worth more than six figures to qualify for the cave.

However, once this cave is selected, it cannot be changed within a hundred years.

In addition, when taking the Dust Extinguishing Pill for the next three hundred years, everyone will not be able to practice in the Shizhu World, so Lu Tiandu is planning to choose a better cave after advancing to the realm of void refining.

As for this period of time, just stay in the Min family's villa in Tianyuan City.

Therefore, after the two left, they went straight to the "Thousand Machines Palace" where they received the task. After successfully receiving the task of refining Qingming Armor and some other imitation spiritual treasures by virtue of their status as Qingming Guards, the two people were shocked and walked straight out of the Thousand Machines Palace. The Min family's villa somewhere in Bentianyun Mountain.

"It seems that Lu Lang has settled his identity?"

After welcoming Lu Tiandu and Qing Li, Min Rou smiled and said.

"Well, everything went well."

Lu Tiandu smiled and talked about his plans, "I will go into seclusion to break through, Qingli will restore her cultivation, and you will have to worry about things outside!"

"Well, Lu Lang, just go ahead and break through!"

Min Rou naturally understood that this was after Lu Tiandu and the two daughters of the Ye family had practiced together before, their cultivation had become more and more advanced and they had reached the point of breakthrough.

Seeing that Lu Tiandu could advance so quickly, she was quite excited.

As for the previous incident between Lu Tiandu and the two daughters of the Ye family, she was too lazy to mention it at the moment.

Later, after sending the refining materials to the Yaochi Tower and picking a piece of Qixialian for Qingli, Lu Tiandu began to enter a state of seclusion.

Half a year later.

Over a certain cave in Tianyun Mountain, there was a loud "bang" sound, followed by a continuous sound of thunder in the clear sky. Milky white spiritual clouds emerged out of thin air, and then headed towards the top of the mountain. Gathered everywhere.

On all the large and small mountain peaks within a radius of thousands of miles of the mountain where this cave is located, colorful light points suddenly emerged from the underground trees at the same time and shot high into the sky.

After reaching a certain height, the surface of these light spots expanded and contracted, bursting like bubbles one after another, turning into pieces of five-color light, and then shooting towards the cave where Lu Tiandu retreated.

In just one cup of tea, the mountain peak where Lu Tiandu retreated was covered layer by layer with unusually thick five-color light, completely dyed into five colors.

But another celestial phenomenon appeared in the sky!
I saw that those milky white spiritual clouds had condensed into a huge cloud ring with a diameter of more than a hundred miles at this moment, and in the center of the cloud ring, golden and purple hurricanes were forming out of thin air. During the roaring sound, the people below Five colors of light were involved in the cloud ring, and then the torn pieces merged together again.

As the hurricane grew stronger, more and more of the five-colored auras were swept into the sky. In the end, the color of the hurricane changed from golden purple to strangely colorful, but the five-colored light that flew from thousands of miles away did not diminish at all. , the light curtain surrounding the entire huge mountain below was actually a bit thicker than before.

This vision of heaven and earth quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding god-forming monks. Streams of light shot out from the caves on the mountain peaks, and they looked at the vision in the sky with envy.

"This is actually a certain comrade who is advancing to the realm of void refining!"

“I don’t know if this person will succeed in advancing in the end?”
