Lu Changan took two second-order high-grade spiritual bamboos, looked at them for a while, and felt happy.
The products produced by Qingzhumen are indeed extraordinary.
The two pieces of spiritual bamboo brought by Chen Fuhai are more spiritual than the ones Lu Changan bought before.
Um?
While observing the Lingzhu, Lu Changan felt a vague sense of prying eyes, and his heart palpitated.
This feeling appeared for the second time in this life.
The last time was when I killed the White Jade Python in the Black Mist Mountains. Not long after that, I encountered the mysterious Sky Moon Wolf.
"The quality is good. Mr. Lu bought it at the auction price. What do you think, Mr. Chen Daoyou?"
Lu Changan remained calm and looked at Chen Fuhai.
By this time, the sense of unknown prying eyes had disappeared.
"No need, fellow Daoist Lu can just give you the normal market price." Chen Fuhai said with a smile.
Lu Changan spent 1,900 spirit stones to buy two second-grade high-quality spirit bamboos.
From now on, his focus will be on the third-level spiritual bamboo, and there is no need to deliberately seek the second-level high-quality bamboo.
After the transaction, the relationship between the two took a step forward and they talked about more topics.
Because of the sense of prying eyes just now, Lu Changan became wary of Chen Fuhai.
If Chen Fuhai used his spiritual sense to investigate, it would be rude at best, and he would definitely be able to detect it.
But Chen Fuhai didn't use his spiritual consciousness, so the vague sense of prying eyes was strange.
Either there is something wrong with Chen Fuhai, or he is a fake alchemy or above monk who secretly paid attention to Lu Changan.
Monks in the later stages of foundation building can pose a threat to Lu Changan.
Lu Changan did not dare to enter the Jiuyin Monument face to face and merge with the second life to investigate.
"Fellow Daoist Lu has an ageless appearance and maintains his health so well. I wonder what kind of skills he practices?"
During the chat, Chen Fuhai seemed to be envious and asked curiously.
Lu Changan became alert again.
There are not too many ways to maintain health and beauty, and Chen Fuhai was the first to explore his methods for this reason.
"It's just a middle-to-lower level of wood-based exercises with mediocre power and good at maintaining health and beauty. In addition, Lu cultivates his health and nourishes his nature on a daily basis and has taken some elixirs that can help maintain his appearance."
Lu Changan's answer was watertight.
The health-preserving power, combined with the beauty-preserving elixirs, has been used for nearly a hundred years, and the body is well maintained, which is reasonable.
Realizing that there was something wrong with Chen Fuhai, Lu Changan gave up the idea of befriending a late-stage foundation builder.
"Lu has some purchases in Huanglong Fairy City, so I won't bother you."
Lu Changan made an excuse, said goodbye and left.
"This boy is quite alert."
Chen Fuhai watched Lu Changan leave, with faint green light spots appearing in the depths of his pupils.
"If it involves the legendary monk Yan Donglai, you must be more cautious."
…
Lu Changan left the Qingzhumen station and found a teahouse to sit down two or three miles away.
This distance is far less than Chen Fuhai's spiritual consciousness.
He closed his eyes and entered the Nine Seal Monument with his mind.
With the blessing of the soul brand of the second life, his spiritual consciousness spread to the Qingzhumen station to check Chen Fuhai's situation.
This kind of increase in spiritual senses requires concentration of consciousness and integration with the Nine Seal Monument, which will consume the energy of the first or second life that is lit.
It is limited to sensory enhancement and cannot be used in combat.
Unless the second life comes to the body and consumes the opportunity once in ten years.
The sect's respective residence is commanded by the real person False Dan.
His fused and amplified spiritual consciousness is stronger than that in the early stage of ordinary pill formation. He uses his spiritual consciousness more skillfully and is ready to withdraw it at any time.
In that pavilion, Lu Changan found Chen Fuhai.
The spiritual consciousness carefully probes and approaches the opponent's sea of consciousness.
Chen Fuhai's senses were not aware of Lu Changan's increased human-level consciousness at this moment.
"This is?"
Lu Changan observed the opponent's sea of consciousness, his heart skipping a beat.
I saw a green, crystal-clear and transparent insect floating on the surface of Chen Fuhai's sea of consciousness.
The insect's body is sinking little by little in the sea of consciousness, and is about to disappear.
"who?"
The transparent insect opened a compound eye, and its densely packed pupils flickered with light, making it troublesome.
Before the insect could explore, Lu Changan decisively withdrew his consciousness.
The insect's soul fluctuation was not as strong as Lu Changan's increased consciousness.
He left the teahouse and went to the vicinity of Jinyun Valley Station, where he found an inn and stayed temporarily.
“Is that insect the legendary ‘Baisu Soul Gu’, a strange insect in the world?”
In the guest room, Lu Changan thought for a long time and found a possible target in the vast memories of his past life.
Baisu Soul Gu is a strange insect in the world of the Soul Dao. It is mysterious and unpredictable, at least it is of Tianpin bloodline.
Lu Changan didn't know much about this insect, he only saw some rumors and records in ancient books.
It is said that Baisu Soul Gu can host and control multiple living targets.
This kind of lodging does not affect the independence of the target, including memory, wisdom, and practice.
This Gu is not good at fighting on its own and mainly relies on the target it hosts.
The higher the host's strength and potential, the better.
The two are complementary to each other.
"When I searched with my spiritual consciousness, the soul Gu was about to lurk in the depths of the sea of consciousness. If it hadn't happened by chance, the ordinary Daoist Jiedan would not have been able to detect anything unusual about Chen Fuhai."
Lu Changan said thoughtfully.
Now it seems that the Sky Wolf was also the target of the "Hundred Souls Gu".
Maybe he just stayed there not long ago and the integration was not enough, so he sensed some disharmony at that time.
At that time, Chen Fuhai "escaped death" and did not come to Huanglong Fairy City to say hello, perhaps to avoid any flaws.
"Do you want to expose Chen Fuhai?"
"No, this insect is mysterious and can host multiple targets. You cannot offend it to death."
Lu Changan quickly shook his head.
Even if it is exposed, it will not be convincing.
Legend records that the complete Baisu Soul Gu can host and control hundreds of creatures.
The one that Lu Changan came into contact with may not be the main Gu. It should be far away from the perfect form.
Otherwise, the goal of boarding is not the level of the foundation building period.
The original Sky Moon Wolf came from the Black Mist Mountains.
The Black Mist Mountains cross half of Daqing.
The target of "Baisu Soul Gu" may not be limited to the Liang Kingdom, but may also be found in the surrounding immortal cultivation countries.
Lu Changan's final conclusion is:
Be wary of Chen Fuhai and just pretend not to know.
This kind of strange insect coexists with its host, and it is not a world-destroying true spirit, so it will not bring great disaster to the world of immortality.
…
A few days later, Huanglong's large-scale auction was held.
Lu Changan went over to join in the fun and see if he could come across the items he needed.
In addition to spiritual bamboo and wood, Lu Changan has a need for second-level life-extending pills.
In addition, the Earth Rock Rat was at its peak at the early stage of the second level and stayed there for more than ten years to see if he could buy elixirs and treasure materials that would help him break through.
A few years ago.
Lu Changan has communicated with the Zhou Family Foundation Establishment and wants to purchase the second-level mid-grade Earth Spirit Pill, or the corresponding breakthrough resources.
The Zhou family declined politely, saying that the Zhou family itself did not have enough resources to help the monsters advance to the middle stage of the second level.
There was no corresponding breakthrough item in this auction.
It's another thing that helps the rock rat.
"Black blood lotus seeds can promote the improvement of blood path skills. These lotus seeds are not suitable for use by most human monks, but some flesh and blood demon beasts can slightly improve their bloodlines if they eat them. They are only limited to top-grade bloodlines and below."
"The starting price is one thousand two hundred spirit stones."
"One thousand three... one thousand five hundred..."
The bidders included the foundation-building monks of the Beast Control Zhou family.
Black-blooded lotus seeds are not a popular auction item, they have great limitations and the improvement is very small.
"Two thousand three hundred."
In the end, Lu Changan quoted a price and won the item.
The foundation-building monk competing with him is Zhou Qingxuan, the foundation-building monk of the Zhou family.
However, Lu Changan hid his identity.
Zhou Qingxuan did not recognize him, but gave him a cold and displeased glance.
After all these years, this girl still looks like the girl she was before, perhaps after taking the Beauty Pill.
Lu Changan once heard that decades ago, two or three of the seven major immortal cultivating families wanted to marry Zhou Qingxuan.
The Zhou family naturally disagreed. How could the beast-controlling genius in the foundation-building stage that they had finally cultivated be given to outsiders at such a low price?
In addition to Zhou Qingxuan, Lu Changan also saw other acquaintances at the auction, such as Lin Lu and Shi Xianzi.
…
After the auction ended, Lu Changan returned to the inn and restored it to its original appearance.
He took out the black-blooded lotus seeds he won in the auction.
Squeak!
The rock rat couldn't wait to get out of the spiritual pet bag, shaking its head and tail, showing a longing expression.
Lu Changan took out the lotus bullet, and the rock rat flew into the air accurately and swallowed it in one gulp.
After the rock rat took the black blood lotus seeds.
Lu Changan observed for a moment and didn't feel any obvious changes.
The qi and blood in this rat's body have been slightly enhanced.
After buying two spiritual bamboos and black blood lotus seeds, Lu Changan's spiritual stone reserves were running low.
He also spent a lot of money on the puppet method.
The several second-level puppets that were made are difficult to cash in for the time being.
Lu Changan left the inn and was going to sell some second-level low-grade talismans.
…
"Uncle Lu!"
A white-faced middle-aged man in the foundation building stage flew to the Jinyun Valley station and shouted in surprise when he saw Lu Changan.
"Xiao Lu."
Lu Changan smiled and met Lin Lu during the auction. He hid his identity and did not say hello.
Lin Lu warmly invited Lu Changan to receive him at Jinyun Valley.
In an elegant room, two people were drinking tea and chatting.
"In three or four years, the 'Qing Ming Secret Realm' will be opened. Uncle Zhao and Uncle Zhang are both preparing to participate. My nephew's cultivation is shallow and he is not qualified to participate."
Lin Lu mentioned the situation of Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan.
Lu Changan was also silently paying attention to the Qingming Secret Realm.
The things he needed to extend his life, the opportunity to form a pill, including the third-level spiritual bamboo, all appeared in the Qingming Secret Realm.
Most of the places in the Qingming Secret Realm are in the hands of the sect.
Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan also obtained their spots through competition and paid a lot of money.
For geniuses with top qualifications in the sect, such as Earth Spirit Gen, the elders generally do not recommend taking risks unless they insist on going in.
Monks with a great background and good qualifications don't have to take risks.
"Uncle Lu, have you ever been to Mu's house in these years?"
Lin Lu recently visited Feiyue Lake and it was hard to describe.
“I’ve never been there, but I’ve heard about it a bit.”
Lu Changan has not been to Feiyue Lake for almost ten years.
Over the years, the Mu family has declined a lot, compared to the two eras of foundation building.
The descendants of Li Erqing have become a powerful new lineage, causing explicit or covert conflicts with the old lineage of the Mu family.
The old lineage of the Mu family originates from the descendants of Mu Renlong and Mu Maode, such as Mu Chengji, Mu Xiuyun, Mu Yunfei, etc.
The conflict point is nothing more than family resources and authority.
Li Erqing was able to transcend others, but his descendants, including the female cultivators who married into the family, would inevitably fight for him.
If the relationship between the two lines is not good, internal friction will inevitably occur and affect the development of the family.
Huang Tankong's plan before his death has emerged.
"I heard that several of Uncle Li's granddaughter-in-laws changed the surname of their children to 'Li' in order to please the ancestors."
"Change the surname to Li?"
Lu Changan frowned slightly and made no comment.
He is now completely separated from the Mu family and cannot take care of other people's housework.
The last letter Li Erqing sent him was a year ago.
Its cultivation reached the second floor of the foundation a few years ago, and it took more than twenty years.
"It's just an isolated phenomenon."
Lin Lu added: "Uncle Li also opposed it at first. Later, he may have considered that he wanted to leave some bloodline for the old Li family, so he only allowed a few special cases."
After chatting for an hour or two, Lu Changan left the Jinyun Valley station.
He didn't want to get involved in the Mu family's affairs.
From Li Erqing's personal perspective, there is actually nothing wrong with him.
On the same day, he went to Huanglong Fairy City to sell some second-level talismans, earn spiritual stones, and purchase some supplies.
A few days later.
Guan Qiaozhi and Mu Bingyun came to meet up, and the three of them left Huanglong Fairy City by flying boat.
