After sending Master Lin Ye away, Lu Changan fell into a short period of thought and made small adjustments to his future plans.
"Nearly ten years have passed since the battle at Huanglong Mountain. The former number one casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom, 'Huanglong Zhenren', has at most seven or eight years left in his life."
"It's time to find an opportunity to honor the favor Fu Xuemei promised back then."
Even though Huang Long is old, his influence and connections cannot be underestimated.
Once this person dies, the structure of Huanglong Immortal City may undergo new changes, and the prestige of the Huanglong Mountain lineage will be reduced to a low point.
Although Fu Xuemei has an Earth Spiritual Root, the quality of her elixirs is at the bottom among true elixirs, and it is basically impossible to advance to the middle stage of elixir formation within a hundred years.
If Lu Changan successfully forms the elixir in the future, he will most likely be in the same small realm as this woman.
Lu Changan is now one hundred and twenty-nine years old, and has been promoted to the late stage of foundation building, which is expected to take more than ten years.
After making the decision, Lu Changan wrote a letter and sent it to Huanglong Mountain.
The recipient of the letter is apparently Fu Dong.
Lu Changan bluntly stated in the letter: He hoped to fulfill his promise back then and ask Huanglongshan to help him purchase some alchemy materials.
Among them, they include the main materials of Xuanwu Dan, Xueyang Dan, and Qisha Dan.
Xuanwu Dan is a level-breaking elixir in the later stages of foundation building.
By refining this elixir, Lu Changan will be promoted to the late stage of foundation building in the future, which is more reasonable.
Blood Yang Pill and Qisha Pill are temporary pills that increase strength.
Lu Changan has taken Xueyang Pill before, and the side effects are relatively small.
Qisha Dan is more powerful and can be taken during the foundation building period to double the mana and improve the overall strength of a small realm.
However, the side effects are extremely severe. Not only is the vitality severely damaged and extremely weak, but life and longevity are also overdrawn.
In fact, Lu Changan has no shortage of spiritual stones to buy these materials.
But some of the scarce materials, especially the main ingredients of the level-breaking elixir, are difficult for ordinary monks to buy.
It is equivalent to saying that Lu Changan borrowed Huanglongshan's channels and influence to purchase these materials without having to put in a lot of effort on his own.
"The world of cultivating immortals has entered a war, and the future is unpredictable. It is better to use the favor as soon as possible to strengthen yourself. If not, you may not have a chance in the future."
Lu Changan did not seek to maximize this favor, for example, he had to let the Danjie monk take action once.
He is indifferent to spiritual practice, does not make enemies with others, and will not go out to cause trouble on his own initiative. He basically does not need such opportunities.
Furthermore, if there is an emergency crisis, there will be no time for you to call someone.
There is another benefit to honoring a favor.
Fu Xuemei and Huang Longshan will feel more at ease with him.
…
Scarce materials are entrusted to Huanglongshan.
For other common and low-value materials, it is not difficult for Lu Changan to ask the monks attached to Wu Qishan to do errands.
As a pharmacist, Ye Fei also has corresponding channels.
Buying the materials to make elixirs yourself is much more cost-effective than buying finished elixirs directly.
Once each type of elixir is refined, the number of elixirs it starts with is a few.
Half a month later.
Master Lin's physical condition was restored to good condition, and he was invited by Lu Changan to come to Xiaoguifeng Cave to help refine alchemy.
He claims to the outside world that he is refining cultivation elixirs, but he is actually secretly refining Zhuyan elixirs.
"These materials are well preserved and full of spirituality."
Before refining the elixir, Master Lin routinely checked the materials of the Zhuyan elixir and nodded in praise.
Naturally, Lu Changan would not say: these materials are not just simply sealed, he occasionally injects evergreen mana to nourish them and maintain their activity.
Of course, not all alchemy materials are suitable.
Zhuyan Dan itself is a health-preserving type, and its material properties are consistent with the evergreen mana.
Lu Changan himself is also a second-level alchemist, and he has alchemy furnaces, spiritual fire arrays, alchemy sites, etc.
When Lin Ye was refining alchemy, he was allowed to watch at close range and take the initiative to explain.
It is not difficult to refine Zhuyan Dan.
A few days later, Lin Ye successfully opened the furnace and made four beauty pills.
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Lu, the four Beauty Pills are all genuine."
Lin Ye's face glowed red, this rate of pill formation was higher than he expected.
"Alchemist Lin's skills have really improved a lot. I'm afraid he's almost the same as a quasi-third-level alchemist."
Lu Changan was also delighted and praised.
The material he provided could only be used to turn into four pills at most. Originally, he could make three pills and be satisfied.
The Beauty Pill is not very valuable in small places, it is only slightly more valuable than half a Foundation Establishment Pill.
But in places where the cultivation civilization is developed, the value of Zhuyan Dan is even higher.
In some areas where immortality is cultivated, due to material limitations, its value may not be much lower than the Foundation Establishment Pill.
"The materials provided by Fellow Daoist Lu are of high spiritual quality, which is the key factor. Moreover, refining Zhuyan Dan does not require high cultivation level."
Lin Ye said modestly, thinking of something, his expression became depressed.
After being locked up in a small dark room to refine alchemy for more than twenty years, Lin Ye's alchemy skills had indeed improved.
However, he couldn't bear to look back on these years and was unwilling to mention related topics.
After refining the Zhuyan Dan, Lu Changan directly paid a top-quality magic weapon in advance as a reward for refining the elixir.
The subsequent alchemy plan will have to wait until Huanglongshan collects the materials.
…
That night.
Lu Changan took a beauty pill in a secret room and closed his eyes to realize it.
The medicinal effect of Zhuyan Dan contains a mysterious energy of life, which is full of youthful vitality.
In addition, there is a faint trace of the cycle of time, but it is much weaker than the longevity pill.
After a while, Lu Changan opened his eyes, showing a hint of disappointment.
"Taking the Beauty Pill has little effect on my evergreen magic power."
"The appearance of this elixir is permanent. It acts more on the appearance of the body's skin and changes the characteristics of some internal organs at most. It has no addition to the foundation of cultivation and the essence of life."
The higher the level of a monk, the less attention he pays to this appearance.
Of course, there are many monks who are interested in good looks, especially female monks.
According to records in some mythological classics, there are real female immortals who care deeply about beauty.
"Those top geniuses who practice very quickly don't rely much on Zhuyan Dan. This is because the speed at which their appearance ages is basically the same as their realm and life span increase."
Lu Changan took a beauty pill, which just added another layer of appearance.
Compared to his Evergreen Kung Fu, which extends life and achieves the essential youthfulness of life, this elixir is inferior.
"The remaining three beauty pills..."
Lu Changan pondered for a moment.
When there is no shortage of spiritual stones, there is no need to sell this elixir.
At that time, Alchemist Hua wanted to refine this elixir in order to make connections with the upper class.
Lu Changan has such scarce resources, and there may be opportunities to use them in the future.
After all, this elixir is very popular among female cultivators.
…
More than half a month has passed.
Lu Changan received Huanglongshan's letter.
The person who replied turned out to be Fu Xuemei.
This is the first time in Lu Changan's life that he has received a letter from a true elixir monk.
Moreover, it also came from a beautiful Jurchen.
This means that Lu Changan's social circle has made a qualitative breakthrough!
From the beginning of the first level of Qi refining, after more than a hundred years of practice and management, it is not easy to reach this point.
You must know that the vast majority of monks are not qualified to correspond with Zhendan monks throughout their lives.
"Words are like people..."
Lu Changan opened the letter and couldn't help but admire Fu Xuemei's calligraphy, which was so beautiful, as lonely and proud as a winter plum.
However, the content in the letter made Lu Changan's eyelids twitch slightly.
Fu Xuemei made two points in her letter:
First, Huanglongshan will be able to help acquire the materials Lu Changan wants soon.
Second, ask Lu Changan when he will come to Huanglong Fairy City to pick up these materials.
At that time, Fu Xuemei is going to meet him in person to hand over this batch of materials.
"The dignified True Alchemy cultivator, the current helmsman of Huanglong Mountain, how can you surrender your status and personally meet a casual cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment? Where has your pride gone?"
Lu Changan felt a little depressed and was caught off guard. He didn't expect Fu Xuemei to be so "enthusiastic".
He didn't want to meet up close with the True Alchemy monks if it wasn't necessary.
Even if you put aside the past grudges.
"If I don't go to Huanglong Mountain, it might make me look guilty."
Lu Changan actually knew that if he went to meet him in an upright manner, he could almost be sure that there would be no risk and he would be appreciated by Master Jie Dan.
Fu Xuemei has been forming pills for nearly ten years. If she wanted to kill someone, she wouldn't have waited until today.
Not to mention an open and honest invitation.
If she really had a knot in her heart, Fu Xuemei wouldn't have been able to form a true elixir back then.
"Haha! I, Mr. Lu, am a cautious person, so I don't dare to meet the True Alchemy cultivator, which is understandable."
Lu Changan thought again and again, chuckled, and made a decision.
In his reply, he expressed euphemistically: The world outside has been chaotic recently, and the Tribulation Cultivator is raging, so he dare not go to Huanglong Fairy City alone.
Huanglongshan simply went to the end and sent the materials to Wuqishan. He was willing to add 10% to the delivery fee.
After replying to the letter, Lu Changan felt puzzled. Why did Fu Xuemei want to see him in person?
What is thought-provoking is that this woman stated in advance in the letter to give Lu Changan a mental preparation.
"If I don't go to Huanglong Mountain to meet you, this woman won't come to Wuqi Mountain in person, right?"
Lu Changan considered the worst case scenario and had to take precautions.
Although with Fu Xuemei's temperament, she would not do such a hot-faced and cold-butt thing.
Think for a moment.
Lu Changan felt the powerful aura of the second generation elixir formation peak of the Jiuyin Monument, and thought of the set of treasure talismans that had been stored in his hand for many years, and became determined.
He thought to himself that when faced with someone like Fu Xuemei who had insufficient foundation in the early stages of pill formation, he would at least be sure to escape if he was prepared.
…
For the next period of time, Lu Changan restrained his aura and practiced underground in Xiaogui Peak.
With the obstacles of mountains and rocks, and the Qi-condensing ability of Evergreen Kung Fu, he was unable to be discovered immediately when the pill formation was in its early stages.
One month later.
A high-level monk came from Huanglong Mountain and delivered materials to your door.
Nothing unexpected happened. As the helmsman of Huanglong Mountain, Fu Xuemei would not come to Wuqi Mountain in person.
The person who came was an old man in white robe with elegant temperament.
"Ji Yifeng, the great disciple of Zhenren Huanglong."
Lu Changan secretly investigated and recognized the identity of the person.
When Fu Xuemei was forming the elixir, Ji Yifeng arrived at the critical moment. Lu Changan's disguised Junior Brother Cheng had met this person before.
With a smile on his face, Ji Yifeng waited in front of the Little Turtle Peak and asked the maid to report.
I respect him as the real person of False Dan, he is kind and polite, and he has never used his spiritual consciousness to investigate at will.
Lu Changan followed the underground tunnel and quickly returned to Xiaoguifeng Cave.
I happened to see the maid Lan Rou who came over in a hurry to report.
"Master! The real person from Huanglong Mountain, Senior Ji, personally paid a visit..."
"Don't be nervous. Huanglongshan and I have a relationship."
Lu Changan smiled and reassured.
He walked out of the cave and welcomed the first real visitor to Xiaogui Peak.
"Wu Qishan's casual cultivator Lu Chang'an has met Senior Ji."
Lu Changan bowed his hands.
"Little friend Lu, there is no need to be polite. I have heard of your reputation, and when I saw you today, you really have an extraordinary temperament and extraordinary style."
Ji Yifeng stroked his beard and smiled, looking at the gentle and quiet man in white in front of him, with a look of appreciation on his face.
