Seeing this woman achieving her expectations, Lu Changan was surprised and said:
"Oh? Does Miss Shen have any current needs?"
"not yet."
Shen Bixin pursed her lips and smiled, praising: "Friend Lu Dao has a good character and a strong will. He is a trustworthy friend in my eyes."
"I can be satisfied with being able to owe fellow Taoist Lu a favor."
Looking at the smiling Shen Bixin, Lu Changan felt strange in his heart.
He thought: We don't have a deep friendship between you and me, so how could we know that someone like Lu had a good character?
Shen Bixin's explanation should not be the main reason, but there are some considerations.
But there is one thing to say: Lu Changan rarely has any interests involved with the outside world. He has always maintained a low profile and pragmatic practice, coupled with his inspirational reputation as a late bloomer, he has a good reputation from the outside world.
Even though it is the nickname of Oogway Talisman Master, the outside world mostly ridicules it, and there is not much malice.
Shen Bi is a married woman.
In order to avoid suspicion, Lu Changan did not stay too long and said goodbye.
Shen Bixin stood up to see them off and suddenly asked:
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Lu has a good relationship with Huanglongshan?"
"Huanglong Mountain? I have a little contact with him, but I'm not particularly familiar with him."
Lu Changan replied.
Huanglongshan's Ji Zhenren and Fu Dong both visited Xiaogui Peak back then. Huanglongshan helped Lu Changan collect information, but these could not be hidden from outsiders.
"Recently there have been rumors that Master Huang Long is critically ill and may not live for another year or two."
Shen Bixin shared a piece of information.
"Is Master Huanglong critically ill?"
Lu Changan was moved and made some calculations.
It has been fourteen or five years since Fu Xuemei formed an elixir.
The former number one cultivator in the immortal world of Liang Kingdom, his lifespan is indeed coming to an end.
Due to various factors, Master Huanglong lived hundreds of years shorter than the theoretical lifespan of the Zhendan monk.
"Senior Huanglong has been in the immortal world for hundreds of years in the Liang Kingdom. He is famous all over the world. He has been respected by all the major sects and aristocratic families. It can be considered a glorious life."
Lu Changan's tone was respectful.
At the peak of Huang Long's fame, he had not yet entered the path of immortality in this life.
The two are not figures of the same era.
Therefore, Lu Changan only heard of his name and never had any direct interaction with Zhenren Huanglong.
"If Master Huanglong dies, some forces may take the opportunity to attack the Huanglong Mountain lineage. At that time, fellow Daoist Lu, be careful."
"Thank you, Miss Shen, for reminding me."
Lu Changan heard the implication of Shen Bixin's words, said goodbye and flew away from the Tengxing Chamber of Commerce.
Shen Bixin watched his back, thinking a little, recalling the scene when he was rescued and saw the dawn of life in a desperate situation.
She had an intuition that this low-key, down-to-earth and unfazed Oogway Talisman Master was not a simple person.
Today's bet may have to wait until one day in the future to be verified.
…
Three months later.
News of the battlefield in the Feng Kingdom spread to all parts of the Liang Kingdom, causing shock.
At this time, the low-level monks generally knew the news of the defeat of the Liang Kingdom sect.
The monks in the middle and upper classes knew the relevant information earlier.
"The True Monarch of Nascent Soul from Lihuo Palace, one against two, fought against two enemy Nascent Souls, but was unfortunately defeated and injured?"
The mainstream information Lu Changan received from the outside world described the truth lightly.
It was obviously a tragic defeat, serious injury, and almost death, but it was described as "hateful to lose".
Young monks who don't know the details may be misled into thinking that the Supreme Elder of Lihuo Palace is so brave that he can fight against two Nascent Souls with only one move missing.
"Lihuo Palace is not strong in foreign campaigns, but it is good at controlling public opinion in the Liang Kingdom's immortal world."
Lu Changan can understand this.
During the Immortal Cultivation War, both countries would spread all kinds of false news to confuse the public and cause panic.
It is indeed necessary to control public opinion internally and eliminate those who spread rumors that are not conducive to unity.
Except for the situation of True Monarch Nascent Soul.
The number of those who died in the battle of Master Jie Dan and Foundation Establishment monks was also concealed to some extent.
These will definitely not be hidden from the thoughtful people of the major forces.
But as long as most of the monks in the middle and lower classes are stabilized, the goal of the upper class of Liang Guo Sect will be achieved.
News about the war.
The three peak masters of Wuqi Mountain had a private gathering.
Shi Xianzi also had his own news channel, mentioning that the Liang Guo sect suffered a disastrous defeat and the losses were greater than the external rumors.
She speculated that the Liang sect would stop fighting and retreat to the territory to recuperate.
"I hope that the war will cease as soon as possible and that the world of immortal cultivation in Liang will regain stability as soon as possible."
Ye Feiqi promised.
Due to foreign wars and the transfer of monks from the sect, the public security in various places in the Liang Kingdom's immortal world has declined significantly.
In the past few years, Wu Qishan's business has plummeted.
"hope so."
Only Lu Changan knew that the war was likely to spread to the Liang Kingdom in the near future.
…
As news of the war spread.
The correspondence between Jinyun Valley and the outside world has returned to normal.
Two months followed.
Lu Changan received two letters from Zhao Taner.
One of them was a message delivered by Zhao Tan'er himself.
The other letter is a letter sent from Zhao Siyao from the front line.
Zhao Siyao said in the letter that she had evacuated the battlefield and was on her way back to Jinyun Valley in Liang State.
The description of the war in the letter was only a few sentences, but it made Lu Changan feel the tragedy of it.
"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Lu, Siyao narrowly escaped death. Because he joined forces with Senior Brother Zhang Tieshan and luckily killed the enemy's False Dan Master, which was a great success in that battle. Senior Brother Zhang and I were seriously injured and were able to be the first batch to withdraw...
"
"Kill the fake Dan real person?"
Lu Changan's head jumped.
Zhao Siyao's description was very reserved. With the tacit understanding between the two, she obviously did not reveal the origin of the talisman.
If that talisman is activated, the outside world will only treat it as an ordinary third-level talisman.
It is not an exaggeration for the sect elites in the late foundation building period to obtain third-level talismans by chance.
A third-level talisman has limited appeal to true elixir cultivators.
"Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for Zhao Siyao to kill the real person Fake Dan with that talisman. Zhang Tieshan probably played a big role and has the means to threaten the real person Fake Dan."
Lu Changan said thoughtfully.
At the end of the letter, Zhao Siyao hoped that Lu Changan could come over to get together after she and Zhang Tieshan returned to the sect.
Wait until the injury heals.
Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan will focus on cultivation and plan to form elixirs.
After being tempered on the battlefield, Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan gained a lot, and their cultivation improved more smoothly.
"In a few years, some of the friends I have made in this life may reach the level of real people."
Lu Changan smiled and put away the letter.
Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan's current cultivation levels are at similar levels, both at the ninth level of foundation building.
However, it will still take some years before it reaches its peak in the later stage of foundation building.
Except for these two friends.
Lu Changan's good friend Xianzi, as well as his friends Song Wenshu and Zhou Qingxuan, are all at a similar level.
He can cultivate to the late stage of foundation building and has already defeated most of the monks of the same level.
This step of forming the elixir is more difficult.
Many peak cultivators in the later stages of foundation building have had difficulty succeeding for decades, or they can only achieve false elixirs, only gaining more than a hundred years of life, and ending up here for the rest of their lives.
Fake elixirs are essentially "half-step elixir formation" that is not recognized by many true elixir monks.
"These old friends have some hope of achieving false elixirs. But, are there one or two people who can achieve true elixirs?"
Lu Changan looked to the future, not sure if he would have the chance to witness it in person.
The True Pill of Achievement, placed in the Daqing Cultivation World, will enable major forces in various places to rise to the top.
…
One month later.
Lu Changan got the news from Tengxing Chamber of Commerce and went to Liaoyuan Fairy City.
This time when he went to the headquarters of Tengxing Chamber of Commerce, Lu Changan did not see Shen Bixin.
The person who received him was an elder of the Chamber of Commerce who was at the peak of the late foundation building stage and was Shen Bixin's direct elder.
"The materials are finally available."
An hour later, a bulging storage bag appeared on Lu Changan's waist and flew away from the Liaoyuan Fairy City.
The whole transaction process went smoothly.
Lu Changan purchased materials such as third-level spiritual sand, top-level puppets, and quasi-third-level puppets at market prices.
Since it is a basic material, it is not particularly expensive, but it still cost tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones.
Because he left immediately, Lu Changan did not hide his identity.
"No one is tracking it, so the reputation of Tengxing Chamber of Commerce is pretty good."
Until they were several hundred miles away from the Liaoyuan Fairy City, Lu Changan nodded secretly.
During this period, his mind was integrated into the second life of the Nine Seal Monument many times to investigate and confirmed that there was no tail behind him.
The transaction amount this time was relatively ordinary in the mid-stage of foundation building, and it was indeed a leakage of money.
It's not that Lu Changan is unsteady, but that things are different now.
Risk and strength are inversely proportional.
The means of protecting the road that Lu Changan showed to the outside world were no longer ordinary in the middle stage of foundation building.
The strongest person in the Tengxing Chamber of Commerce is just a fake Dan Zhenren.
This little leakage of wealth will attract fake elixir masters, or many late-stage foundation builders.
In the current special period.
As long as his secrets are not exposed, Lu Changan does not mind taking some controllable risks in order to accelerate his improvement in strength.
…
After returning to Wuqi Mountain.
Lu Changan ensured the stable operation of the quasi-third-level mountain guarding formation.
From now on, he will put part of his focus on improving the "Yunsha Body Refining Technique" and increasing puppet training.
"The effect of the third-order spiritual sandstone is truly extraordinary..."
In the secret room of Xiaogui Peak, Lu Changan was immersed in a medicinal bath of mixed spiritual sand of several colors. His muscles all over his body swelled, and a cloud-like crystal texture appeared on the surface of his skin.
There is numbness and burning discomfort in the body.
It was the first time he used the third-level spiritual sand stone to practice. He finally felt that he was slowly improving on the "Cloud Sand Body Refining Technique" that had been stagnant for many years.
I slept very poorly yesterday and felt very sleepy. My coding efficiency was too low and I even took a nap in the middle of the process.
