"What chance does Miss Zhou have that she would think of someone like Lu?"
Lu Changan said calmly.
During this meeting, I don't know if time was tight, but this woman called him by his first name, and he was no longer the "Brother Lu" of previous years.
"Lu Chang'an, didn't you say that you were good at treating sick turtles and bringing them up healthily?"
Zhou Qingxuan turned her pretty eyes towards the black water turtle beside the lotus pond.
Sensing the searching eyes of this late-stage foundation-building beastmaster.
The black water turtle was instinctively afraid, shrank its head, and got into the pool.
"Lu's wood-type skills are acceptable in terms of treatment. However, he was able to hatch the black water turtle healthily because of the treasures he obtained by chance."
Lu Changan said impeccably.
Over the decades, he remembered that rhetoric clearly and would not let this woman bypass him.
"No need to explain so much."
Zhou Qingxuan showed a bright smile and got straight to the point:
"The earth dragon beast under the master Huanglong's seat is seriously injured and is dying. It can barely breathe with the help of secret medicine."
"Huanglong Mountain is looking for capable animal trainers, pharmacists, and strange people, hoping to save the earth dragon beast."
"As long as any monk can save the life of the Earth Dragon Beast, Master Huanglong will give him a heavy reward, including 'crystal condensation pill', pill-forming spiritual objects and other strategic resources. He also promises to do something for the other party within his ability."
After learning the cause of the incident, Lu Changan showed surprise at the right time and looked thoughtful.
Huanglong Zhenren has a deep relationship with the Earth Dragon Beast.
The two have been together for hundreds of years, rising from the beginning, living and dying together, and supporting each other.
This earth-grade spiritual pet can be regarded as a close relative of Master Huanglong to a certain extent.
Even his direct disciples, including Fu Xuemei, cannot compare to the status of Earth Dragon Beast in their hearts.
"Crystal Pill, Pill-forming Spiritual Object..."
Lu Changan felt sorry for himself secretly, and was inevitably a little moved.
Crystal Condensation Pill can increase the chance of forming a pill, and it is the dream of countless foundation-building monks.
Throughout Daqing, Crystal Condensation Pills are extremely precious strategic resources.
In his previous life, he had a higher starting point, high-grade spiritual roots, good opportunities, and had to go through a lot of hard work to successfully form the elixir.
In this life, the wood spiritual root is a low-grade spiritual root. Even with the bonus of Evergreen Gong, if there is no external opportunity, the probability of forming an elixir is not optimistic.
"Miss Zhou, there is really nothing Lu can do when it comes to third-level spiritual beasts."
Lu Changan shook his head and said.
He had an intuition that if the Evergreen Secret Technique consumes life span, it would most likely be effective.
However, how could Lu Changan expose such secret methods in front of real people in Huanglong Mountain?
He has not yet reached the late stage of foundation building. If he gets the pill-forming items in advance, he will cause trouble, and he can only rely on Huanglong Mountain for protection.
He didn't have the slightest fondness for Huanglong Mountain.
The enemy blocking the road, "Fu Xuemei", is the successor Huanglongshan wants to cultivate.
This woman reached the advanced stage of foundation building a few years ago, and was dragged down by her younger brother.
Fu Xuemei promised her master that she would only help her brother during the foundation-building period.
Facing the Pill Formation Avenue, the geniuses of Earth Spirit Root must go all out.
"It's fine if you don't go. Don't mention this to others for the time being."
Zhou Qingxuan looked a little regretful and did not force it.
The specific injuries of the Earth Dragon Beast are currently only known to some upper-level monks in the Liang Kingdom.
The Zhou family was invited by Huanglong Mountain because they were good at controlling beasts.
"Don't worry, Miss Zhou, Lu will not tell anyone."
Lu Changan looked at the back of this woman soaring into the air, feeling a little strange.
Even Jiedan Zhenren was helpless against the Earth Dragon Beast's injuries.
As a foundation-building monk, even if he was good at healing injuries, this woman would not expect much from him.
In this world, only one and a half people are known to know the secret of Evergreen Kung Fu.
One is "Tianshu Taoist" from Yu Neiqi, and the other half is Mu Xiuyun.
As for Mu Bingyun, most people think that he has a strange secret technique. It took more than ten years to repair this woman's foundation, so it won't be too abrupt.
"However, there is another variable..."
Lu Changan thought about the spying of Baisu Soul Gu when he met Chen Fuhai.
The Baisu Soul Gu can host various races, and its knowledge and knowledge are far beyond those of ordinary people.
He closed his eyes and integrated his mind and consciousness into the second life of the Nine Seal Monument.
The small functions that Jiuyin Monument is currently exploring are divided into two types: active and passive.
Active: The shadow of the soul arrives, consuming the soul mark that has been lit for many years, and can be used in battle.
Passive: The mind consciousness enters the Nine Seal Monument and merges with a certain life. It is only blessed by the consciousness and senses, which consumes the energy of lighting.
The second type cannot be used in combat, and it has the meaning of sharing its soul perception.
If one returns to the peak of his previous life, or is promoted to Nascent Soul, the use of abilities in these two lives is of little significance.
Whoosh!
After Zhou Qingxuan flew several miles away, Lu Changan's real-life consciousness came over to investigate in a vague way.
Until I glimpsed the sea of consciousness.
There is nothing abnormal about Zhou Qingxuan's sea of consciousness.
Due to his talent in controlling beasts, there is a hint of purple light, which is slightly different from ordinary monks.
Lu Changan did not enter the sea of consciousness to investigate, otherwise he would be noticed.
After withdrawing his consciousness, Lu Changan could not make a conclusion.
If Baisu Soul Gu lurks deep in the sea of consciousness, it cannot be observed from the surface.
Unless you are powerful enough to see through the sea of consciousness in the later stages of foundation building at a glance.
Back then, he was able to discover the Baisu Soul Gu on Chen Fuhai's body because the Gu had surfaced on the surface of the sea of consciousness and spied on him before it had time to lurk.
Zhou Qingxuan stood on the second-order demon bird and flew out of Wuqi Mountain.
"You can't even be moved by the pill-forming things?"
"Even if you are a practitioner of Evergreen Gong, your lifespan will eventually be limited, and you still have to fight for key resources."
Zhou Qingxuan's pretty eyes flashed.
"During the Qi refining period, this person's Qi and blood were pure, he was young, and his longevity and longevity were continuous. After building the foundation, his aura was dark and dark, making it difficult to see clearly. It cannot be ruled out that it is other top-level wood-based techniques."
"No more testing! Even if this person has nothing to do with Yan Donglai, he still has a lot of history."
"The depth of hibernation this time should not expose the identity..."
…
A few months later.
Lu Changan is 107 years old, and four or five years have passed since he was promoted to the middle stage of foundation building.
He estimated that it would take about seven years to reach the fifth floor of the foundation.
On the contrary, "Yunsha Body Refining Technique" faintly touches the sixth level.
The inheritance of this body refining technique can be practiced up to the seventh level, or six and a half levels, which corresponds to the fake elixir level.
It is enough before forming the elixir.
The level of this body-training inheritance is not too high, and its advantage lies in its simple cultivation method.
As long as you have enough time to practice.
Have enough financial resources to purchase Lingsha Stone.
As well as good body training talent, you can improve relatively smoothly.
Lu Changan's so-called physical training talent was actually obtained by the self-healing power of Evergreen Kung Fu.
…
This day.
Shi Manrong came back from Huanglong Immortal City and invited the two peak masters, Lu Changan and Ye Fei, to his residence.
Inside the cave in Xiaopanfeng.
When we met this time, Shi Xianzi's cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation building, her face was bright and smooth, and her expression was moving.
"When I come back this time, I will stay in Wuqi Mountain forever. It has been a long time since I have been together with the two peak masters."
Master Shixianzi is dignified and graceful, with an elegant smile.
Lu Changan saw the change in Shi Xianzi's mentality.
Two years before and after the beast tide, Shi Xianzi gave him the feeling of urgency and busyness.
This time I was promoted to the late stage of foundation building, and my mind calmed down.
"Can Fairy Master and Huanglongshan still cooperate?"
Lu Changan asked.
"The cooperation has ended. I have rejected their offer to stay."
Shi Xianzi said lightly.
Lu Changan was not surprised by this.
After the beast tide ended and Huanglong Zhenren failed to hunt monsters, there was no such big demand for mages. It was impossible to maintain the previous excessive treatment and provide some scarce resources.
In the past two years, Shi Xianzi seized the opportunity and took the express train, and her cultivation and formation attainments were significantly improved.
Lu Changan speculated that the formation attainments of Master Xianzi in the later stages of foundation building might touch the third level.
"Fairy Master, I heard that Master Huanglong's Earth Dragon Beast was revived. Is this true?"
Ye Fei said curiously.
"It really saved his life."
Shi Manrong was previously treated as a distinguished guest in Huanglong Mountain and knew more details, which belonged to the upper echelons of information.
"However, the Earth Dragon Beast's cultivation has dropped from the mid-third level to the near third level."
"Has your cultivation fallen?"
The news Lu Changan received from Zheng Centipede a month ago was that he had been rescued, but the specific details were uncertain.
"Which strange doctor cured the earth dragon beast?"
"It's the beast-controlling Zhou family. The clan's beast-control wizard 'Zhou Qingxuan' provided assistance and plans."
Master Shixianzi replied.
"The person who really took care of him was actually Huang Long himself."
"I heard that in order to save the earth dragon beast, Master Huanglong consumed the source of the true elixir and paid some unknown price."
After hearing this, Lu Changan had a high probability of guessing about the treatment method.
The earth-based exercises practiced by Master Huanglong are consistent with the attributes of the earth dragon beast.
He consumes the source of his true elixir, performs some kind of secret technique, and mixes it with precious medicine, which may have an effect similar to the Evergreen Secret Technique.
"Consuming the source of the true elixir will permanently reduce the real person's strength, and at the same time shorten his lifespan!"
This is equivalent to saying that both strength and lifespan are reduced.
Lu Changan really didn't expect that Master Huanglong would be willing to pay such a price for his spiritual pet.
If we say, Fu Xuemei is a demon who helps his younger brother.
Then Huanglong Zhenren is a pet-protecting maniac.
In terms of identity and strength, Huang Long is completely different from his previous life.
If it were him, he would have spent a tiny bit of his lifespan on his spiritual pets, but it was far less than what Huang Long did.
Ye Fei thought deeply: "Master Huang Long should have a deep intention in doing this. This is a big game of chess!"
"Oh? Brother Ye, what do you have to say?"
Lu Changan and Shi Manrong looked over.
"First of all, by keeping the Earth Dragon Beast, we can maintain the illustrious name of 'Huang Long Zhenren'."
Ye Fei analyzed.
Lu Changan and the other two nodded and did not deny it.
The Taoist name of Huanglong Zhenren is closely related to the Earth Dragon Beast that grew up with him.
"The name of Master Huanglong is still there, which is enough to shock Xiaoxiao."
"Furthermore, the lifespan of the Earth Dragon Beast is far longer than that of humans. Even after the death of Huanglong, the Earth Dragon Beast can still protect the successor of Huanglong Mountain as a spiritual symbol for the future."
"Master Huanglong has far-reaching plans!"
Ye Fei's eyes were shining, he was filled with admiration and admiration.
Lu Changan's face twitched when he heard the following remarks.
Those false reputations are far inferior to Huanglong's real strength, and the impact of double reduction in life span is great.
In the world of immortality, strength is the foundation.
Its strength and long lifespan are even more terrifying.
The hostile forces in Huanglong Fairy City don't care about the superficial reputation.
"What Fellow Daoist Ye said does make sense in some respects."
Teacher Manrong said with a smile.
"However, half a month ago, a direct descendant of Huanglong Mountain died in a robbery outside the city. The news has not spread yet."
"This... is so audacious!"
Ye Fei was caught off guard and his face was slightly hot.
A direct descendant of Huanglong Mountain was killed outside the Immortal City. This was something that was unimaginable when Huanglong Immortal City was at its peak.
According to the news he received today, Lu Changan is more and more convinced that the strength of Huanglong Immortal City has been greatly reduced and it is continuing to decline.
In the past few months, Huanglong Fairy City has sold off many properties, and some foreign manpower has been gradually tightened.
Huanglongshan will no longer make progress in the future, but will try its best to defend its basic market.
…
Three days later.
In Xiaogui Peak, Guan Qiaozhi sent away a ninth-level Qi Refining monk who bought a talisman.
"Brother Lu, there have been a lot fewer people buying talismans recently. Wu Qishan is not as popular as it used to be."
Guan Qiaozhi's eyebrows were slightly worried.
After the beast tide ended, the demand for talismans dropped sharply.
There are too many monster materials circulating in the market.
The price of ordinary first-level talismans has dropped much lower than the normal market.
The second-level talismans have also fallen back to normal prices, without the high premiums during the beast tide.
Fortunately, Lu Changan has always taken the high-end route.
During the beast tide, I took advantage of the low price of materials to draw and hoard a batch of second-level talismans.
At the same time, we also purchased some first-class mid- to high-grade materials at ultra-low prices.
Even if he sells it now, Lu Changan can make a huge profit.
However, Lu Changan is rich and has more than 20,000 spiritual stones in reserve, so he is in no hurry to make a move.
The world of immortality is ever-changing and ups and downs.
Lu Changan has a long life, and I believe he can wait until the market rebounds one day.
"During the beast tide, we earned a lot of spiritual stones. Now, you can just relax for a while."
Lu Changan comforted him.
He draws and makes the talisman, and Guan Qiaozhi handles the materials, so he can get a certain commission.
"Brother Lu, it's peaceful outside now and the mountains are not so busy. Qiaozhi wants to go back to the secular world."
Guan Qiaozhi gritted her teeth slightly and made a well-thought-out decision.
"When do you plan to leave?"
Regarding this matter, the two of them had been angry for a long time, so Lu Changan was not surprised.
"Tomorrow." Guan Qiaozhi said solemnly.
That night, Guan Qiaozhi carefully helped Lu Changan take a bath.
…
The next day, the sky was slightly bright.
Guan Qiaozhi brought in a girl in a blue dress.
She is at the fourth level of Qi Refining and has a little bit of beauty, but she is half as good as Guan Qiaozhi when she was young.
"she is?"
Lu Changan walked out of the cave and looked at the girl in blue dress who was bowing awkwardly.
"Brother Lu, her name is Lan Rou, and she is a descendant of Sister Lan Lin's tribe."
Guan Qiaozhi introduced with a smile.
"I have observed that she is well-behaved and obedient, and has some knowledge of talismans. When I am away, I let her work as a maid on the mountain, doing chores and receiving guests."
"The maid Lan Rou has met Senior Lu."
The girl in blue skirt bowed and lowered her eyes
"Um."
Lu Changan used his spiritual sense to investigate and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with this woman.
His comfortable and leisurely life in Xiaogui Peak was partly due to his smart and capable maid.
Not counting receiving guests, it is not easy to take care of such huge mountains and caves.
Normally there are five or six maids and servants.
There is only one maid left in Xiaogui Peak because the rock rats work hard, the black water turtles are responsible for irrigation, and the puppets assist.
The main reason is that Lu Changan doesn't want people to have too many eyes.
In this case, she must be a capable maid.
"Qiaozhi, you have never traveled far alone, and the journey may not be smooth. This is a gift from me, including a protective object."
Before leaving, Lu Changan handed a storage bag to Guan Qiaozhi.
"Thank you, Brother Lu, for taking care of me these years. Qiaozhi will be back in a few years."
Guan Qiaozhi's eye circles were red, and she tried her best to smile, with crow's feet looming at the corners of her eyes.
She took one last look at the youthful man in white.
From the time we first met him in Huanglong Fairy City at the age of thirteen to today, sixty years later, his appearance has hardly changed at all.
It is always so peaceful and indifferent, pleasing to the eye.
"Take care on the road and keep a low profile."
"I know."
Guan Qiaozhi flew in the air without looking back.
"As long as Brother Lu is still in Xiaogui Peak, there will be a place for you here."
Lu Changan watched her back and waved.
After two reincarnations of cultivating immortals, he can calmly look directly at the beauty's twilight years and the twilight scene of the mulberry trees.
Guan Qiaozhi's situation is different from Mu Xiuyun's.
He couldn't be sure whether he would go back or not.
No matter what decision Guan Qiaozhi makes, he respects the other party's choice.
——An update today, there are a lot of social events at the end of the year, so the daily updates in the future will be later... Previously, after the Yang passed, the coding efficiency was very low, and people easily get sleepy. Recently, my ideas have been a bit stuck, so I have slowed down a bit.
