Because I had purchased Class B information on "Huanglong Mountain" from Tianzhi Tower before.
This time, Lu Changan came to get the latest information with the help of the special jade tube and only paid one or two hundred spirit stones.
"Huanglong Mountain has been preparing for many years, and has paid a lot of favors, and finally made the 'Crystal Pill'. Based on the weight of the materials and the level of the alchemist, Tianzhilou speculates that there will be two pills, at least one of which is genuine."
"Fu Xuemei has recently reached the ninth level of foundation building and has the basic conditions to attack the core formation."
"Huanglong Zhenren defeated Sanhu Zhenren, and it is suspected that he had some remaining strength. For detailed analysis, it is necessary to purchase the Class A intelligence of Huanglong Zhenren."
In the inn of Liaoyuan Fairy City, Lu Changan's face twitched slightly when he saw this.
He actually intends to purchase all the Class-A information about Huanglong Mountain and Zhenren Huanglong, but doing so may attract the attention of Tianzhilou.
In his eyes, Tianzhi Tower is more mysterious and unpredictable than Lihuo Palace.
The upper limit of Huanglong Zhenren's strength is there, lower than the middle stage of pill formation, and can only explode temporarily. All forces agree on this point.
"There are currently three True Alchemy monks in Huanglong Mountain. In addition to Master Huanglong, the other two are his friends and the other is a worshiper who has been here for hundreds of years."
Huanglong Mountain originally had two great enshrinements of Jie Dan Zhenren.
According to the information from Tianzhi Tower, a great priest learned about the crisis facing Huanglong Mountain and quit half a year ago, suspected to have been poached by hostile forces.
Find out the combat power at the top of Huanglong Mountain.
As long as Lu Changan grasps the general direction and does not intervene directly, there will be no real danger.
As for False Dan Zhenren, he has the confidence to protect himself, which is not yet the trump card for the coming of the second life.
…
Liaoyuan Fairy City is located in the central hinterland of Liang Kingdom.
Lu Changan flew north for half a month.
A towering, crystal-yellow giant city expands in the field of vision.
At this time, it was sunset.
The dim sunset light fell on the slightly mottled and cracked surface of the city wall, some of which were traces left by the tide of beasts.
This giant city, which has experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain, remains standing like a wounded and old lion.
Along the way, Lu Changan experienced the chaos around Huanglong and almost never encountered any lone Qi Refining monks.
The lone rangers who come and go are basically monks in the foundation building stage.
Along the route he passed alone, he discovered many hidden cultivators of unknown origins, including robbery cultivators and evil cultivators.
Lu Changan pretended to be in the late stage of foundation building, but no one thought of him.
Looking from a distance.
The Huanglong Immortal City formation is operating normally, and even during wartime, there is no closure of the city to isolate entry and exit.
This comes from two points.
First, Huanglong Fairy City is a neutral trading fair city, and the ownership of most of the industry comes from various forces in the Liang Kingdom, including sects, many families, and individual monks.
Huanglong Mountain is considered the leader and the largest landowner of this fairy city.
Only the core Huanglong Mountain belongs entirely to the lineage of Huanglong Zhenren. The mountain protection formations are fully activated and the defense is tight.
This fairy city has a huge flow of people. If the city is closed, it will be very involved.
The second point is that Huanglong Immortal City has a large area. If multiple pill formations join forces and a large force attacks, the defensive pressure and consumption will be too great.
Moreover, the city has a huge population, and it is unknown how many internal agents of hostile forces have sneaked into the city.
It is much less difficult to only protect the third-level spiritual vein where Huanglong Mountain is located.
A considerable part of the industry in the city comes from various forces, including the sect garrison of the Liang Kingdom.
When hostile forces entered the city, they did not dare to disturb the industries inside, and could only target Huanglong Mountain.
"The two forces have a tacit understanding with each other. They will not involve other forces and industries in the city, but only fight for the core interests of Huanglong Mountain. Even without the intimidation of the sect and other forces, no one wants a ruined fairy city."
Lu Changan knew something about this from the intelligence.
If a war breaks out, it will most likely take place in Huanglong Mountain, where there are no foreign monks stationed there.
…
The cultivation level in the later stage of foundation building is a little conspicuous in Huanglong Immortal City.
In a hidden corner in the mountains, Lu Changan changed his identity through the "Hundred Fantasy Mask" and adjusted his cultivation level.
When he arrived at Huanglong Fairy City, he transformed into an ordinary-looking, featureless old man in civilian clothes.
The cultivation level is lowered to the early stage of foundation building.
There is no difference from usual days, entering Huanglong Fairy City.
The city is much deserted than before, with half the number of people on the streets, but most shops are open as normal.
The teahouses and restaurants in the city are very popular. These places are convenient for inquiries, and some even sell information privately.
"The forces led by the Mo family and the Hengchuan Chamber of Commerce, as well as many enemies, are currently gathering at the foot of Huanglong Mountain. Their attempted attack a few days ago was easily blocked by the mountain-protecting formation of Huanglong Mountain."
Lu Changan quickly got the latest news in the city.
He speculated that the hostile forces in Huanglong Mountain were currently just trying to attack and test the strength of the formation.
The real general attack may be when Fu Xuemei attacks the pill formation.
To impact the pill formation, you need third-level spiritual veins to draw out the huge spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
By then, Huanglongshan's formation will be at a relatively weak stage.
No matter how bad it is, it can still slightly interfere with Fu Xuemei's attack on the pill.
As long as Fu Xuemei fails to form the elixir, and it takes twenty or thirty years, Huanglong Mountain will have no successors and will be destroyed without any attack.
That night, Lu Changan checked into an inn in the city, keeping a distance of nearly a hundred miles from Huanglong Mountain.
…
The next day, he went to Jinxiufang.
I walked around twice in the Shuiyueju area where I lived back then.
He once lived and practiced here for twenty or thirty years, and successfully planned and built the foundation.
The plaque on Shuiyueju remains unchanged, but the owner has changed. Currently, there is a female nun living alone.
The layout of the pool in the yard has not changed, and there are some ornamental fish.
The current owner of the adjacent Du Mansion is also named Du. He looks familiar, and he should be a descendant of Alchemist Du Wei.
"Lao Du must have been gone for many years."
Lu Changan recalled that middle-aged man with a mustache who was greedy for money and lustful.
Through Dewey, he contacted Master Hua.
Dewey was not promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage. He was older than Lu Changan and had passed away for at least twenty or thirty years.
"Master Sang has also moved away."
Lu Changan sighed secretly and saw the empty courtyard opposite Shuiyue Ju.
At the beginning, the puppet inheritance he received from Master Sang was only limited to the top level of the second level, and did not have the content of the third level.
It is still unknown whether Master Sang has a third-level puppet inheritance.
If this person had not been promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage, based on his age, he would have been back in the West for many years now.
"Back then, I first entered Huanglong Immortal City when I was forty-five years old. This time, I am already one hundred and nineteen years old when I come here."
When Lu Changan left Jinxiufang, he felt deeply that things and people had changed.
More than seventy years ago, Huanglong Fairy City was still in its heyday, and the bustling and prosperous atmosphere is still vivid in our minds, which is in sharp contrast to the current depression.
…
A few days later.
Lu Changan, who was meditating in the inn, suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Huanglong Mountain.
At that moment, he sensed the burst of mana from Master Jiedan.
I even heard a faint roar.
"It's about to start a fight!"
In the inn, some speculators looked faintly excited.
The power of Huanglong Mountain was suppressed, and the security in the fairy city was at its weakest.
As long as a war breaks out, there will always be those who fish in troubled waters.
The young people, at most, would cause trouble in the city and would not dare to provoke the powerful forces and large shops with strong backgrounds.
The real big speculators have even set their sights on Huanglong Mountain.
If the Huanglong Mountain Formation is breached, the opportunities contained therein are immeasurable, including the real opportunity to form elixirs.
In fact, a small number of the enemies of Huanglong Mountain called by the Mo family and the Hengchuan Chamber of Commerce are of the same lineage as Zhenren Huanglong and have no grudges at all.
It's nothing more than seeing Huanglong Mountain's weakness and wanting to take advantage of it and get a share of the pie.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Some bold foundation-building monks were within ten miles of Huanglong Mountain and blatantly watched the battle.
Lu Changan shook his head and did not follow.
In fact, he knew that even if they got closer, the hostile forces in Huanglong Mountain, including the real people, would not harm the onlookers.
The hostile forces in Huanglong Mountain are not meant to destroy, but essentially to redistribute the core interests of this fairy city.
…
In front of Huanglong Mountain at this moment.
The powerful auras of the four immortals who formed the pill gathered together, and four patches of pill power glow appeared on the sky.
Among them, the one with the highest level of cultivation in the middle stage of pill formation is the great enshrinement of the Hengchuan Chamber of Commerce.
This Danjie was worshiped as "Zhenren Wantie", and his whole body was covered in thick, dark plate armor, with only his cold eyes exposed.
Master Jiedan of the Mo family is a young man in blue shirt with a straight body and bright eyes.
This real person is named "Mo Weixing" and is the most outstanding genius of the Mo family for hundreds of years.
In the mid-air below the four real people, nearly twenty fake alchemy real people gathered, following the mountain-protecting formation that took turns attacking Huanglong Mountain.
The aura of the fake elixir master is more than one and a half points worse than that of the real elixir monk, and the gap is even greater than the conventional small realm.
The current lineup of real people is almost as powerful as a sect.
Whoosh!
At this time, a breath of fake Dan Zhenren flew over from outside the city.
The person who came was a middle-aged man with a strong build and a wide robe.
If Lu Changan were here, he would be able to recognize this fake elixir master at a glance.
"Fellow Daoist Xiang, have you found anything?"
Mo Weixing, the master of the Mo family, is smiling.
Xiang Jinglong is a fake alchemy monk who was summoned here. He claimed that he was plotted by Huanglongshan and took the unwarranted charge for the death of Alchemist Hua.
"Dear real people, Xiang discovered a hidden tunnel outside Huanglong Fairy City, which seems to lead to the hinterland of Huanglong Mountain..."
Xiang Jinglong handed over his hands to the four real people in the sky, and the sound transmission channel reported.
Hearing this, the expressions of the four Master Jiedan masters changed slightly, they paused their attacks and communicated with each other for a moment.
"Don't worry, we have internal agents in Huanglong Mountain, and the core figures in his direct lineage, including Fu Xuemei, are all on the mountain."
"That hidden tunnel may be the retreat route for the direct descendants of Huanglong Mountain."
"Fellow Daoist Xiang, please lead someone to investigate the situation in that tunnel..."
…
That night.
In the hinterland of Huanglong Mountain, in an elegant and quiet cave.
A young man with clear features and bright eyes, wearing a large cotton-padded jacket, looked worried and restless.
At this time, a woman with long lavender hair and a moon-white gown wearing an orchid in the empty valley walked out of the secret room.
"Sister, I finally see you."
Fu Dong stood up with a smile on his face.
"Xiaodong, you shouldn't have come back."
Fu Xuemei sighed softly.
"Sister, you sent me to a remote area a year ago for the sake of my little brother and to leave a descendant of the Fu family's bloodline. Now, I have left a bloodline heir outside, so I have no worries."
"We, sister and brother, have been dependent on each other since childhood and have supported each other all the way to today. How can I let you be alone in danger? My sister attacked the pill formation, and my brother guarded me until the last moment."
Fu Dong's smile was gentle, as if it could melt winter snow, but his eyes were extremely determined.
"Okay, now you have no chance to leave."
Fu Xuemei smiled helplessly.
When her younger brother, who had been protecting her since childhood, came to the cave, she felt inexplicably calmer.
Back then, she only did something that went against her heart once in her life to build a foundation for her younger brother.
That incident slightly shook her Daoist heart, leaving some flaws in her state of mind.
However, when her brother was guarding her, her mood reached perfection.
The two chatted for a long time.
It wasn't until there was a message from a real person outside that the two siblings reluctantly separated.
"Sister, you will be able to successfully break through the levels and successfully form elixirs as before."
"Xiaodong, you don't have to worry. With the help of authentic crystal condensation pills and pill-forming spiritual objects, I am 80% sure of achieving the true elixir, and now I have an additional 10% chance of winning."
Fu Xuemei has a clear but charming face and a confident and calm smile.
Until my brother left.
The smile on her face disappeared, and she entered the secret room with a solemn expression.
