This time, Song Wenshu stayed as a guest in Wuqi Mountain for only half a day before saying goodbye.
As for Alchemist Lin Ye, he has special feelings for Wu Qishan and Xiao Danfeng.
After negotiation, he was allowed to recuperate in a guest room halfway up Xiaodan Peak for a period of time, which would help his recovery.
Alchemist Lin Ye has retained most of his alchemy skills and is willing to assist in alchemy and provide compensation during the recovery period.
Previously, he had been questioned by Lihuo Palace. He was a victim and his identity was innocent.
Lin Ye's cultivation level has declined and he doesn't have much life left.
Thinking of his tragic fate and old love, the peak master of Wuqi Mountain made this special case.
Song Wenshu brought Lin Ye here as a token of his gratitude to make up for the troubles caused by the "night fisherman".
From this, Lu Changan speculated that Song Wenshu had no hostility towards Wu Qi Mountain and was willing to be on good terms with the three peak masters.
The stance of grievances and grudges in the world of immortality is not black and white, or static.
Song Wenshu had a good relationship with Senior Brother Zhuo, who was once an enemy of Wu Qishan.
However, the relationship between Song Wenshu and Wu Qishan is also acceptable, there is no conflict of interest, and he can expand his network.
Even the elites of the sect will not blindly make enemies.
…
After seeing off Song Wenshu, the three peak masters chatted with Alchemist Lin Ye for a while.
Lu Changan and Shi Manrong each returned to the main peak.
"Xiang Jinglong became a wanted person and escaped from the Liang Kingdom. Lihuo Palace did not suspect Wu Qishan. The matter of the 'Night Fisherman' is finally over."
Lu Changan felt at ease.
Xiang Jinglong took the blame again, and he did not have any psychological burden.
After all, this person bullies the weak, kills people and seizes treasures, and has a lot of misdeeds. He once came to Wuqi Mountain to show off his power and eat the king's meal.
Lu Changan and Xiang Jinglong had no direct conflict of grudges. The other party was a fake elixir master who had helped him twice and had no intention of killing him.
With this matter concluded.
Lu Changan began to think about refining the Zhuyan Pill in the future.
He gathered all the ingredients for Zhuyan Dan.
The only loophole is that the most critical main ingredient comes from Master Hua.
Alchemist Hua bought this main medicine from Xiang Jinglong, and was later targeted as a fat sheep.
"After so many years, the main ingredient of Zhuyan Pill is not the only one. Xiang Jinglong became a wanted person again and fled the Liang Kingdom. It is not a big problem."
Lu Changan thought.
He took the Beauty Pill to conceal the nature and truth of his youthfulness.
In this way, if you meet a high-level monk in the future, it will not be easy to see the clues.
In addition to the Zhuyan Pill, Lu Changan also has most of the Crystal Condensation Pill materials, which can be regarded as the biggest achievement of Brother Zhuo's plundering for many years.
In comparison, the risk of refining the Crystal Condensation Pill is much greater, even if there are no grudges or loopholes.
…
A few days later.
Lin Ye came to Xiaogui Peak to visit Lu Changan.
"Is Master Lin used to returning to Wuqi Mountain?"
Lu Changan treated each other kindly and did not show any signs of neglect because of Lin Ye's status as alchemist.
"I returned to Xiaodanfeng and had a good sleep for a few days."
Lin Ye's condition improved significantly. A smile appeared on his dry face, and his expression was no longer as dull as before.
After chatting about some past events, Lin Ye basically remembered them and answered them without any problems.
In terms of memory, it is even more completely preserved than Shi Xianzi.
This point is slightly different from when we met a few days ago.
Lu Changan couldn't help but think deeply.
"Actually, Lin's mental state has basically returned to normal. Especially after returning to Wuqi Mountain, his mood has become much calmer..."
Lin Ye smiled bitterly and began to reveal the truth.
It turns out that Lin Ye's sluggish state in the past few days was half true and half false.
His heart has sobered up.
"Fellow Daoist Lin just pretended to the end, why did he tell the truth to Mr. Lu?"
Lu Changan was not surprised by this.
Alchemist Lin Ye was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years.
A monk whose cultivation has declined, is old, and possesses profound alchemy skills is indeed worthy of being remembered.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, in this Wuqi Mountain, I can only open my heart to you. I also believe that you will not murder Lin."
Lin Ye took a deep breath and said calmly.
"Lu is so virtuous and capable that he deserves to be trusted by fellow Taoist Lin."
Lu Changan smiled. It seemed that he had been practicing indifferently for hundreds of years, and his image as a "good old man" who did not fight or fight was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
During his long years of cultivation, although Lu Changan occasionally took action to kill potential threats, at least he never actively murdered anyone.
Lin Ye was indeed right about this.
The two had known each other for decades in Wuqi Mountain and knew each other relatively well.
"You might as well tell Fellow Daoist Lu an inside story."
Lin Ye continued:
"After Lin was captured alive by Xiang Jinglong, he was severely tortured by that guy. When Master Hua died, Xiang Jinglong became a suspect, claiming that he was framed, and there was an investigation into this. Master Hua's
Enemies, including me, are all subjects of suspicion."
"Regarding this matter, I did not implicate Fellow Daoist Lu. Instead, I deliberately hinted and guided him to suspect Fu Xuemei, hoping to use the Huanglong Mountain lineage to eradicate this thief in the future."
Hearing this, Lu Changan suddenly realized.
No wonder Xiang Jinglong became a fake elixir, joined the anti-Huanglongshan camp, and had hatred for Fu Xuemei.
Taking advantage of chaos to profit is one aspect, but revenge is also an important factor.
"Young Taoist friend Lin is a white crane in the clouds. He is in a desperate situation, sticks to the bottom line, and does not involve his old friends. Lu admires him."
Lu Changan praised.
When one's wealth and life are controlled by others, people's minds are unpredictable. For ordinary people, it is difficult to guarantee not to drag other people into trouble.
Back then, after Master Hua Dan died, Lin Ye tested Lu Changan to see the latter's reaction.
It can be seen from this that Lin Ye has some doubts about Lu Changan in his heart, even if the content is not high.
In the end, Xiang Jinglong did not doubt Lu Changan at all, which shows that Master Lin at least had no intention of harming Lu Changan.
"Fellow Daoist Lin told you these secrets and the truth, but you need help from Mr. Lu?"
Lu Changan's thoughts changed and he asked directly.
Hearing this, Lin Ye showed a pleased expression.
If Lu Changan was cold and distant, he would not take the initiative to say such things.
…
"Lin has two wishes for the rest of his life. The first is for Xiang Jinglong to lay down his head, and the second is to return to his homeland safely, cultivate alchemy successors, and spend the rest of his life."
"For the former, I believe that one day I will see it. Xiang Jinglong will die for his unjust actions."
"In the case of the latter, my current cultivation level has declined, my belongings have been plundered by Xiang Jinglong, and I seriously lack the means to protect myself..."
Lin Ye's current situation is very embarrassing. He is impoverished and does not even have an ordinary magic weapon to protect his path.
Lu Changan understood Lin Ye's purpose.
Lu Changan wouldn't mind if he was gifted a few ordinary magic weapons and talismans, but Lin Ye might not feel safe.
Especially, the current world is more chaotic than before.
If Lu Changan was given a complete set of top-grade magic weapons and high-quality talismans, he would suffer too much loss and become a great philanthropist.
"How does Fellow Daoist Lin's alchemy skills compare with those of the past?"
Lu Changan asked.
"I have been refining alchemy day and night over the years, and the conditions are difficult. My alchemy skills have been honed, and they are actually better than before. This is enough to make up for the gap in cultivation."
Lin Ye said truthfully.
"I am willing to refining elixirs in exchange for rewards, and purchase magical weapons, talismans and other items to protect the Tao from Daoist Lu."
"Does Fellow Daoist Lu need the level-breaking elixir in the later stage of foundation building? Lin is confident of refining this elixir, and the success rate is definitely higher than that of Ye Fei."
When it came to alchemy, Lin Ye regained some of his former self-confidence.
He believed that since Lu Changan had stayed in the middle stage of foundation building for many years, he must be interested in the level-breaking elixir.
"Well, if we gather the materials, Alchemist Lao Lin will take action at that time."
Lu Changan smiled and accepted the matter.
The level-breaking elixirs in the later stages of foundation building can be plotted openly, and can be used as a cover for subsequent breakthroughs.
If Master Lin has a good elixir-making rate, you can collect the materials yourself and make a fortune after refining it.
"Lu still needs pills to enhance his magic power. It doesn't matter if the side effects are slightly greater..."
Lu Changan also mentioned other elixirs.
The three Blood Yang Pills previously obtained from Master Hua, which can greatly enhance the magic power of the foundation-building monks, have been taken.
The side effects of Xueyang Pill are relatively minor.
Certain elixirs will overdraw and consume life span, and the increase in mana will be even more terrifying.
Lu Changan has a long lifespan, and as long as it is not used frequently, the price is relatively affordable.
If used at critical moments, it is an excellent means of protecting the road.
"I am good at this type of elixir!" Master Lin agreed.
"By the way, does Master Lin know how to refine the Beauty Pill?"
Lu Changan finally seemed to remember something and asked again.
"Zhu Yan Dan? The difficulty of refining is not high among second-level elixirs. Although I have only refined it twice before, I can guarantee the success rate of the elixir."
A trace of surprise appeared on Lin Ye's face, but he didn't ask any more questions.
The value of the Beauty Pill is not as high as the Foundation Establishment Pill, nor is it the Crystal Condensation Pill.
For a second-level high-grade alchemist, it is nothing.
"Okay, I'll trouble Alchemist Lin with these three pills."
After discussing for a while, Lu Changan and Alchemist Lin Ye reached a preliminary agreement.
Not only that, Master Lin also promised that when refining the elixir, he could let Lu Changan watch and answer the latter's doubts.
Lu Changan sighed with emotion. The alchemist who was once aloof and needed to be fawned over has now become considerate and considerate of others.
In addition to the transaction itself, Lin Ye also wanted to make good friends with Lu Changan and receive certain care in the future.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lu. I used to make elixirs for others, so it's my duty to keep my employer's secrets secret."
Alchemist Lin exchanged a few pleasantries, said goodbye and left.
In fact, even if a little bit about Zhuyan Dan is leaked out, there will be no problem, and it may even be beneficial.
Today is different from the past.
Lu Changan's current strength and identity are enough to protect "hot potatoes" such as foundation-building pills and level-breaking pills.
…
Lin Ye returned to Xiaodanfeng's guest room and fell into deep thought.
Back then, after Master Hua's death, he had some doubts about Lu Changan, but not much.
After testing, my doubts were basically dispelled.
A few days ago, he learned about the situation outside.
Fu Xuemei from Huanglong Mountain almost failed to form an elixir. The quality of the elixir was far from reaching the expectations of the Huanglong Mountain lineage, and she might be lost to the public during the elixir forming period.
"I heard from Ye Fei that Xiang Jinglong came to Wuqi Mountain to fight the autumn wind a few years ago."
"Master Hua Dan, Fu Xuemei, Xiang Jinglong... they all met a bad end."
Lin Ye had an idea in his mind and couldn't help but shudder.
Reason told him that he was probably thinking too much. Intuition gave him the illusion that he was close to the truth.
If it weren't for coincidence, what he learned about Lu Changan was probably just the tip of the iceberg.
Lin Ye quickly shook his head: No matter what the possibility is, just make the elixir yourself and don't ask any questions.
At least Lu Changan is not an enemy. He and he once faced a common enemy.
In the world of immortality that has opened up in troubled times, there are not many monks who can provide help in times of need.
