Master Bai Ling came out of the air, holding a secret bead with a drop of solidified crystal blood in his hand, and used some kind of secret sensing technique.
"Aunt Aya."
Lu Changan and Fu Dong stepped forward to salute.
Seeing that their lives were safe, Master Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Changan's previous purchase of Huanglong Mountain gave him a relatively clear understanding of the relationship between his direct relatives.
Both Bai Ling and Junior Brother Cheng are marginalized figures.
The former broke up with Master Huang Long many years ago, and the latter committed an offense and was expelled from the school.
Junior Brother Cheng is not familiar with Master Bai Ling.
Normally, the relationship between a disciple and his master cannot be very close.
As long as Lu Changan talks less and doesn't expose his secrets obviously, the aura of Baihuan Mask will be simulated, and ordinary real people can't see it.
"Xiao Cheng, thanks to you for stepping forward during this crisis in Huanglong Mountain."
Master Bai Ling asked what happened and learned that "Junior Brother Cheng" had sacrificed his life to save Fu Dong again. He felt relieved and his cold voice softened a bit.
"It is a disciple's duty to share the worries of his master."
Lu Changan gave a decent response and exchanged pleasantries.
Master Bai Ling and Junior Brother Cheng have not seen each other for several years. Even if Lu Changan behaves a little differently from the past, it will not arouse suspicion.
What's more, Junior Brother Cheng has just made great contributions.
Master Bai Ling gave each of them a bottle of secret healing medicine, and then took out a spiritual boat.
"Come up."
Master Bai Ling didn't say where he was going. He piloted a flying boat and flew at low altitude outside the Black Mist Mountains.
Lu Changan took a secret medicine without asking any questions.
Fortunately, Master Bai Ling did not personally check the specific injuries of the two.
It's still because the relationship is not close enough. After all, Master Bai Ling is not the master's wife, so we have cut off contact with her for many years.
Lu Changan noticed that Master Bai Ling had a cold attitude towards Fu Dong, and it was better to be kind to him.
…
The flying boat was circling east and west in the Black Mist Mountains. An ordinary monk would have been disoriented.
Lu Changan has the rock rat with him, so he doesn't have to worry about getting lost.
Master Bai Ling is so cautious.
He couldn't help but make some guesses about the destination of his trip.
Three days later, the flying boat was still circling the Black Mist Mountains.
"Aunt Ling, my injuries are no longer serious. If the location of this trip is very confidential, I can leave alone."
Lu Changan said.
"No need. Currently, among the direct descendants of Huanglong Mountain, only you and Yifeng are worthy of trust."
Master Bai Ling said calmly.
"Besides, the enemy has pursued them to the northwest. That place may not be hidden, and it needs capable manpower to help defend it."
Lu Changan nodded and did not refuse.
Through testing, he confirmed that Bai Ling's manpower and strength were limited.
Over at Huanglong Immortal City, judging from various news and signs, Master Jie Dan checks and balances each other.
The number of people involved in preventing Fu Xuemei from forming the elixir is limited to the real person who fakes the elixir.
Ten days later.
The flying boat entered a basin covered by a magic array.
Around the basin, five peaks stand, forming a natural Five Elements Formation.
Due to the phantom formation, from the surface, the centers of the five peaks are filled with mist and abyss.
"Huh? The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers... there is a hidden spiritual vein here?"
Lu Changan entered the basin, and with his powerful senses and knowledge from his previous life, he quickly made discoveries.
The spiritual veins of heaven and earth are not limited to the human world.
In the Black Mist Mountains, the territory of monster beasts, spiritual veins also exist.
However, the spiritual veins of the Black Mist Mountains are basically occupied by powerful monsters. Moreover, under the influence of geographical environment and racial characteristics for countless years, the characteristics contained in them are not particularly suitable for human beings to practice for a long time.
The hidden veins under this basin are small second-order high-grade spiritual veins. They are similar to extinct volcanoes and are not very visible. They need to be stimulated by formations.
Coupled with the natural formation and the arranged spirit gathering array, it has now reached the level of quasi-third-order spiritual veins.
If a large number of spiritual stones are added, it is theoretically feasible to reach the spiritual pressure of the third level of spiritual veins in a short period of time.
"I see."
Lu Changan was certain that this was the place where Fu Xuemei secretly formed the elixir.
Huanglong Mountain has been rooted in the Black Mist Mountains for hundreds of years. It is not particularly surprising to find out the answer to such a small hidden vein.
…
"Xiaodong!"
A quiet and ethereal female voice, with a sense of surprise like a clear sky after rain, came from a stone temple in the center of the basin.
After many years, Lu Changan met Fu Xuemei again.
She has long lavender hair, blowing in the wind; she wears a moon-white gown, which outlines her plump figure with icy muscles.
Her lips are red but not smeared, and her eyebrows are green but not painted. She has a kind of independent temperament in an empty valley orchid.
Fu Xuemei held her brother's arm and spoke with concern after the reunion between life and death.
Fu Xuemei calmed down her emotions and gave Lu Changan and Lu Changan an apologetic smile.
She raised her body and bowed: "Xuemei will remember today's kindness in her heart, and she will repay it after forming the elixir."
"Junior sister, there is no need to give a big salute. It is natural for fellow disciples to help each other."
Lu Changan said politely.
Later, Master Bai Ling and Fu Dong told what happened, while Lu Changan spoke less.
Lu Changan could feel that there was a certain distance between Fu Xuemei and his "Junior Brother Cheng", although he maintained respect and showed genuine gratitude.
Perhaps Fu Xuemei knew about Junior Brother Cheng's unrequited love and even explicitly rejected it.
This sense of distance is a good thing for Lu Changan's disguise.
In addition, Junior Brother Cheng has been expelled from the school for several years, and the relationship has become increasingly estranged. Fu Xuemei also lacks understanding of what life experiences he has had in these years.
Lu Changan estimated that Fu Xuemei would not be suspicious even if he behaved slightly abnormally.
"Xuemei, how are you prepared?"
Bai Lingzhen said.
"That's almost it! Seeing my brother makes me feel at ease."
Fu Xuemei smiled slightly and used her foundation-building magic power. The aura fluctuations she emitted were not as high as those at the peak of foundation-building, but they were no longer like the monks who had just entered the ninth level of foundation-building.
"Xuemei, you still have a chance to choose now."
"The first is to wait until the storm has passed, and then form an elixir when the state is at its peak, but Huanglong Mountain will change hands."
"Second, if you form the elixir now, you may be noticed by the fake elixir master who is chasing you behind."
Master Bai Ling said solemnly.
"If I don't form a pill now, it will be difficult to find opportunities in the short term, and Huanglong Mountain will even change hands."
Fu Xuemei had no time to think and chose to form the elixir now.
If she succeeds in forming the elixir, and with the help of the Earth Dragon Beast, the Master will be able to protect her for a few more years.
It is equivalent to three major true elixirs, enough to help Huanglong Mountain survive its trough period.
"Excuse me, Aunt Ling and Senior Brother Cheng."
Fu Xuemei bowed.
After taking one last look at her brother, she returned to the stone palace alone.
Lu Changan noticed that after seeing her younger brother, the last trace of worry in Fu Xuemei's eyes disappeared and her mood completely calmed down.
As a genius with earth spirit roots, he has the opportunity to form a complete elixir. The biggest factor that affects his success or failure and the quality of the elixir is only his younger brother Fu Dong.
This is also the reason why Bai Ling went to meet Fu Dong.
…
Half a month later.
In the sky above this basin, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered in large quantities, emitting huge spiritual pressure.
Even the illusion formation cannot cover up the vision of heaven and earth that impacts the great realm.
Within a hundred miles, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely restless.
Fortunately, this place is located on the outskirts of the Black Mist Mountains, and there are no powerful monsters around. The monsters that exist nearby can be avoided.
Looking at the clouds of spiritual energy condensing steadily in the sky above my head.
Lu Changan had a weird and bizarre feeling.
"Am I becoming Fu Xuemei's pill-forming protector?"
When he came to Huanglong Fairy City this time, he originally planned to obstruct Fu Xuemei's elixir formation.
As a result, the person who formed the elixir in Huanglong Mountain was not Fu Xuemei.
He left Huanglong Fairy City with a casual attitude.
Unexpectedly, when I met Fu Dong, opportunity came to my door.
Later, he received the "favor" from Huanglong Mountain and got a low-quality Crystal Condensing Pill by chance.
"It's almost time to take the Crystal Condensation Pill."
As a rebuilder, Lu Changan silently paid attention and judged the situation.
He weighed his interests and decided whether he needed to run away. Anyway, Fu Xuemei and the others had no idea of his true identity.
The fake alchemy monks couldn't do anything to him, and it was impossible for the real person Bai Ling to abandon Fu Xuemei and pursue him.
With his current consciousness and judgment on the concealment ability of Baihuan Mask, it would not be a big problem to hide it from the early stage of pill formation.
It’s okay to say goodbye normally afterwards.
Perhaps, Junior Brother Cheng's status can bring benefits in the future.
…
Whizzing!
Dozens of miles away, two rays of elixir-powered glow flew over quickly.
"The strange phenomenon of pill formation! Finally found it!"
Xiang Jinglong and He Yuanwu looked at each other, laughed, and went straight to the basin.
Master Bai Ling's expression changed and he quickly made a decision.
"Xiao Cheng, Xuemei has reached the critical moment of condensing the elixir. I'll go catch those two fake elixirs."
"Then junior..." Lu Changan said hesitantly.
If Master Bai Ling asked him to fight the fake Dan together, he would definitely not be happy.
It's okay if there is no obstruction, how can we backhand and help?
Master Bai Ling threw a formation order over and ordered:
"This is the token of the Stone Palace Formation."
"You stay here to protect the law. Don't let anyone break in and interfere with Xuemei's elixir formation, and don't let Fu Dong be harmed."
The hidden veins below the basin, with the help of formations and spiritual stones, can barely reach the spiritual pressure of the third-level spiritual veins, and cannot add any obvious additional burden.
Therefore, only a second-order high-grade micro formation can be deployed to protect the stone palace.
If they huddled in the stone palace and defended passively, the attacker would definitely interfere with Fu Xuemei, who was forming pills inside.
"Let me protect the law?"
Lu Changan took the token and narrowed his eyes, feeling ridiculous again.
