Lu Changan quickly calmed down and guessed Huang Long's intentions.
"Fu Xuemei's injuries are just out of danger, and her strength is very low. It will probably take more than half a year to recover to her peak."
"Such a long period of weakness requires me to take care of her day and night to speed up her recovery with health-preserving skills."
"On the way to evacuate to neighboring countries, we have to share the risk of unknown pursuit. This is not a Taoist monk. He is simply a free doctor, bodyguard, and nanny."
Lu Changan had to admire that Master Huang Long had made a very precise calculation.
"Even after surviving this, when Fu Xuemei is out of danger and arrives in a neighboring country, and Fu Xuemei regains the full power of Master Jiedan, how can I, as a foundation-building casual cultivator, have any autonomy? At that time, it will all depend on her conscience, and she will be able to decide whether it is good or bad."
Thinking of this, Lu Changan gave up the idea completely.
Come to think of it, how can there be such delicious soft rice in this world?
Of course, while Huang Long was painting the pie, he might actually appreciate Lu Changan more.
Fu Xuemei may not do such a great job in the future, and truly treat him as a Taoist companion, sharing the legacy of Huanglong Mountain.
However, there is no need for Lu Changan to gamble.
"The real person has good intentions, and I understand this."
Lu Changan sighed. He couldn't be too direct, so he had to come up with theories that could be verified in the past to reject:
"The world of immortality is changing rapidly, and it is only during the foundation-building period that we can stand firm. Without the magical power of Master Jie Dan, we cannot withstand strong winds and waves. The younger generation can barely maintain the path alone, how dare you marry a wife and form a Taoist couple?"
Hearing this, Master Huang Long stared at him with his turbid eyes for a moment, and finally nodded in admiration:
"Given Lu Xiaoyou's cultivation and experience, he actually has such a concept."
"Even our True Alchemy cultivators are often unable to help themselves. In this vast world of immortality, if you don't become a Nascent Soul, you will end up on the chessboard."
Hearing these remarks, Lu Chang felt relieved.
He was a major cultivator of alchemy in his previous life, so he understood that Huanglong's words came from his heart.
In the subsequent conversation, Master Huang Long did not mention a word about becoming a Taoist couple, perhaps because he knew that Lu Changan saw through the pros and cons.
Master Huanglong was surprised to find that he had a great time talking to Lu Changan, and there was no natural barrier between him and Master Jiedan during the Foundation Establishment period.
You must know that Master Huanglong is not an ordinary true elixir cultivator.
Ordinary monks in the early and middle stages of pill formation would have to give him some respect.
"It's a pity that I don't have much time left, so I can't have a deep chat with Mr. Lu."
The eyes of Master Huang Long were meaningful, and he could faintly sense that Lu Changan had a great background, or that he might have some unknown secret.
"It is the first time in Lu's life that he can sit down and talk with a legendary alchemist like Senior Huang Long, and it is extremely honorable."
Lu Changan smiled.
After more than a hundred years in this life, it was not easy for him to talk to a master Jiedan who was at a similar level in his previous life. For him, it was also a kind of psychological comfort.
Master Huanglong is also about to die.
Therefore, he did not deliberately restrain himself in his conversation and temperament.
…
"When I first came to your mansion, I saw the Xuan Shui Turtle, and its cultivation was extraordinary. I once heard that when Little Friend Lu got the Xuan Shui Turtle egg, his vital signs were weak, and he was most likely a sick child."
Master Huanglong said with interest.
"This shows that Lu Xiaoyou has unique attainments in cultivating spiritual pets."
"I can only tell you a little bit about it."
Lu Changan already had a reasonable explanation for this.
"My health-preserving skills are relatively good at warming and nourishing. Coupled with the heavenly materials and earthly treasures I obtained in my early years, it was a coincidence that the Black Water Turtle grew up so smoothly."
The Xuan Shui Turtle's true cultivation level has always been at the late first level, and ordinary monks cannot see it.
However, in close contact, he couldn't hide it from the vicious-eyed Master Huang Long.
"Little friend Lu, if you really have a unique skill or are a strange hermit, please save my old friend."
Master Huang Long suddenly stood up, spoke sincerely, and bowed his hands.
The old friend he talks about is naturally the Earth Dragon Beast.
"Master, please don't try to undermine this junior! I am just an ordinary foundation-building monk, not the so-called reclusive master."
Lu Changan couldn't laugh or cry.
Just showing a little bit of conversational temperament made Master Huang Long think of this.
However, there are indeed such rumors in the world of immortality.
Some mysterious old monsters, because of unknown restrictions or purposes, like to hide their identities and play games in the world.
There are related records in Tianheng Continent's "Yunei Qiren Series".
There is a saying that due to special reasons, the legendary power in the transformation stage cannot take action easily, and is even unwilling to reveal its identity.
At least, Lu Changan has not confirmed where the God Transformation Stage has occurred for three generations.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, whether it is true or false, please help me take a look."
After Master Huanglong finished speaking, he took out a spiritual pet bag from his waist.
The two of them moved to the empty main hall of the cave.
As the restriction is opened, an earthy yellow halo ripples on the surface of the spiritual pet bag.
Soon, a strange beast that was completely petrified, resembling a crocodile and a dragon, appeared in front of Lu Changan.
"Petrified seal?"
Lu Changan had a strange look on his face and looked at him a few times.
During the induction, this petrified earth dragon beast had no heartbeat and its life force was almost dead.
He placed his palm on the surface of the petrified earth dragon beast, and it felt like a cold marble texture.
Only when the spiritual consciousness is integrated into it can the subtle sleeping consciousness be sensed.
"There is no way to save it!"
Lu Changan sighed and shook his head.
To a certain extent, Earthdramon's physical body was almost dead, but it was sealed with secret techniques before death to make the body immortal and preserve the remaining intelligence and vitality.
The healing power of his evergreen magic power alone cannot save him at all.
Even if you use the Evergreen Secret Technique and consume your lifespan, you still have to pay a heavy price.
After all, Earth Dragon Beast's life level is much higher than his.
This is not on the same level of difficulty as rescuing Mu Xiuyun back then.
"Little friend Lu, is there really nothing you can do?"
Master Huang Long seemed to be taking a chance and watched the details of the expression on Lu Changan's face.
"If this happens, I will be grateful to this old man. I am willing to make a deal with my natal magic weapon, and add the main ingredient of the Crystal Condensation Pill, 'Seven Core Xuanyuehua'."
In order to increase his persuasion, Huanglong used the magic weapon to become famous [Huanglong Mountain Seal].
The main ingredient of the Crystal Condensation Pill is sealed in a jade box and is a rare third-order seven-core flower.
Lu Changan felt moved.
The main ingredient of Crystal Condensation Pill has three flavors in total, among which the rarest and most important flavor is "Seven-core Black Moon Flower"
Coincidentally, he had collected 70% of the materials for the Crystal Condensation Pill that he had obtained from Senior Brother Zhuo, and the most difficult one was the "Seven Core Xuanyue Flower".
Once you get this flower, there will be no real obstacles to refining a Crystal Condensing Pill in the future.
As for Huanglong Zhenren's natal magic weapon, although its power is unparalleled, it is temporarily unusable due to Lu Changan's cultivation level, and it is not very consistent with the attributes of the technique.
"This 'Seven Core Xuanyue Flower' is still a few dozen years old and can meet the demand for the main medicine of the Crystal Condensation Pill. If rare spiritual liquid is added, its growth can be accelerated."
Noticing Lu Changan's gaze, Master Huang Long added.
"It's a pity that there is really nothing I can do."
Lu Changan sighed, not hiding his expectations for the main ingredient of the Crystal Condensation Pill.
Even though Master Huanglong was about to die, Lu Changan was unwilling to expose the secret of Evergreen Kung Fu.
Unless he doesn't have the Crystal Condensation Pill, he can still try to take risks. After the transaction, he must escape quickly and stay away from the Liang Kingdom.
Seeing Lu Changan's reaction, Master Huanglong was basically convinced that the other party was unable to save the Earth Dragon Beast.
Otherwise, faced with the opportunity to form elixirs, it would be difficult for the foundation-building monks to resist the temptation.
…
"Sister...you're awake."
From the carriage not far away, Fu Dong's voice was heard crying with joy.
Master Huanglong put away the magic weapon and the main elixir, and went to check it out with Lu Changan.
"Master...Master, I forgive my disciple for his incompetence and failure to save Huanglong Mountain."
In the carriage, Fu Xuemei opened her eyelids, her face still pale, but when she wanted to get up, her whole body felt weak and there was a dull pain in her abdomen.
"It's hard to go against the general trend. You've done your best. Take a good rest first."
Mr. Huang Long has a kind smile, and the wrinkles on his face have a cracked, aged look.
Lu Changan remained silent at the side.
Fu Xuemei looked at him with a pair of ethereal beautiful eyes and said happily:
"Friend Lu Dao, the last time I saw you was sixty years ago. A few years ago, I wanted to meet you for a chat, but there was no suitable time."
About fifteen years ago, Lu Changan had dealt with Fu Xuemei as Junior Brother Cheng.
At that time, Fu Xuemei even acted as his "protector" by mistake. In the end, he traded inferior crystal condensation pills for genuine crystal condensation pills, allowing Fu Xuemei to achieve the lowest quality true elixir.
"When I saw him today, Daoist Lu was still young and elegant. He was raising turtles and planting grass in Wuqi Mountain. He was so content and contented that he was enviable."
Looking at the man in white whose appearance had not changed, Fu Xuemei seemed to have returned to the scene she had experienced in Master Hua's mansion in Huanglong Fairy City more than sixty years ago.
What happened back then went against her original intention and even left flaws in her state of mind.
"Master Fu is ridiculous! Lu is unchangeable because he is stuck in his own ways. No one can compare with Master Fu. Not only is he as beautiful as before, he has become a real elixir queen, and he is even more magnificent."
Although Lu Changan meant it as a compliment, he was telling the truth.
Fu Xuemei is younger than Zhao Siyao, and she formed pills earlier, so she looks almost like a twenty-year-old young woman.
Due to the addition of alchemy cultivation, his style is even better than before.
"If the impression of Xuemei in Fellow Daoist Lu's heart is as good as what you say, the little girl will have no regrets."
Fu Xuemei's pale snowy face was slightly tinged with blood, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Lu Changan secretly wondered whether this woman had some keen intuition and doubted herself back then.
"Just now, was it Friend Lu who saved me?"
Fu Xuemei changed the topic and guessed.
"Sister, how do you know?"
Fu Dong looked surprised.
Fu Xuemei had just woken up, and while she was in coma, she had no idea of the destination of her trip.
"I just got the guidance of my respected master to help Master Fu use the secret medicine in his body to stabilize his injury."
Lu Changan said modestly.
"Friend Lu, I forgive Xuemei for not getting up to thank you for saving your life."
Fu Xuemei said with a solemn expression.
During her coma, her consciousness fell into darkness, and she once sensed a hint of green warmth, as if coming from an evergreen ancient tree, endlessly growing, echoing her true elixir.
"Master Fu is so polite. Senior Huanglong has already paid the reward. Even if I don't take action, you can get through this safely."
Lu Changan understood that Master Huanglong still had one chance to take action.
This move is essentially a transaction, not a life-saving favor.
The third-level spiritual wood and the third-level puppet inheritance given by Master Huang Long were all he needed.
"Little friend Lu, you seem to be older than Xuemei?"
Master Huang Long suddenly spoke.
Lu Changan nodded, feeling ashamed and said: "In order of attainment, Lu is a bit older and cannot be compared with Zhenren Fu."
"Haha! Little friend Lu, there is no need to be self-effacing. You and Xuemei have known each other for a long time. We owe each other a favor and owe you a favor. This kind of cause and effect cannot be considered as a backup of the cultivation level."
"Master's words make sense. Fellow Taoist Lu, you don't need to refer to me as 'Master Fu' every time. You and I should be treated as equals."
Fu Xuemei quickly understood what Master meant.
Lu Changan had no objection to this. He was an equal, and he was not the one who suffered anyway.
"Xuemei, this kind of cause and effect is comparable to the grace of reincarnation for your siblings. You should call fellow Daoist Lu a big brother."
Huang Long's expression was serious and his tone was serious.
Fu Xuemei was startled for a moment, her ethereal and lonely beautiful eyes fell on Lu Changan's face, and she said softly:
"I've met Brother Lu."
Although she didn't know the master's intention of doing this, Fu Xuemei did not reject it.
For a female true elixir cultivator to address her so gently and respectfully, and it was Fu Xuemei, the unattainable Earth Spirit Genius at that time.
Lu Changan felt his scalp numb.
"I can't do it, I can't do it."
He looked slightly flustered, and he probably guessed the intention of Master Huang Long.
Glancing at the orchid in the empty valley, the female True Alchemy cultivator was weak.
He thought to himself: Even if you call me father today, this little Guifeng can't keep you overnight.
