"An explosive blow in the middle stage of pill formation!"
Lu Changan opened his eyes, with a trace of surprise on his face.
Judging from the aura of fluctuating mana, the person who took action was probably Huanglong Zhenren.
According to his previous understanding, Huang Long only had one chance to take action, so the threat should not be strong.
However, the blow that just erupted in the distance was beyond Lu Changan's expectation. It was far beyond the ordinary middle stage of pill formation, and even close to the late stage of pill formation.
With Huanglong's lamp running out of oil, it stands to reason that no matter how powerful the secret elixirs and secret techniques are, he can't do this.
A body with only a few days left to live has no vitality to squeeze out.
"Could it be that Master Huang Long blew up his own magic weapon?"
In his previous life, Lu Changan was a major cultivator in the late stage of forming pills. A flash of inspiration occurred to him and he thought of a possibility.
Master Huanglong's natal magic weapon, the Huanglong Mountain Seal, has been cultivated for hundreds of years. Even if it is not supported by powerful magic power, once it self-destructs, its power is beyond normal.
Wait for a moment.
Lu Changan did not feel the fluctuation of mana at the same level, just like a fleeting moment of youth.
He let out a long sigh, feeling very sad.
The former No. 1 casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom, the legendary Master Jiedan who had been famous for hundreds of years, has finally come to an end.
Not long ago, the elderly man and Lu Changan had a chat over tea together, and the conversation was harmonious.
Lu Changan had no melancholy or pity.
Because Huanglong is a man of great luck, his glorious life of hundreds of years is beyond the reach of 99% of monks.
He just felt the same way.
The level and status achieved by Master Huanglong are similar to those of Lu Changan in his previous life.
After hundreds of years, the lifespan has reached its limit, and after all, it is impossible to touch the road to heaven in the Nascent Soul stage.
…
"Fellow Daoist Lu, did you notice the movement just now?"
Not long after, Shi Xianzi, wearing a plain dress, visited Xiaogui Peak.
"Um."
Lu Changan nodded and briefly discussed with Shi Manrong.
Shi Manrong speculated that the fighting just now might be related to the Huanglong Mountain lineage.
Recently, only Huanglong Mountain has experienced major unrest in the surrounding area.
Lu Changan, who knew the truth, agreed with this.
"The carriage that came to Xiaogui Peak yesterday was from Huanglong Mountain?"
Master Xianzi's eyes were as light as clear water, and she said with a half-smile.
When Fu Dong and Huang Long came over, they both disguised themselves so that ordinary monks could not tell the difference.
"That's right, they were originally looking for Medicine Master Ye. In desperation, they had no choice but to ask me, a half-hearted person, to help, acting as a living doctor..."
Lu Changan briefly described the general situation and concealed part of the truth.
Anyway, this matter cannot be hidden from people who are interested.
Fu Xuemei's injury was not a terminal illness, nor was she brought back to life. To what extent Lu Changan played a role in the treatment, no one other than the person involved has an accurate answer.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, are you interested in following me to have a look?"
Shi Manrong suggested.
After analysis, the two suspected that He Yuanwu had teamed up with his monks to follow Fu Xuemei, who was seriously injured and fled, in order to plot the inheritance of Huanglong Mountain.
There was only a true elixir-level mana fluctuation coming from the scene, and it was most likely a lose-lose endgame.
"If He Yuanwu dies or is seriously injured and escapes, we can rescue Daoyou Ye."
Shi Xianzi added.
"Oh, I forgot about Fellow Daoist Ye! So, we really need to go there."
Lu Changan said seriously.
He determined that the true elixir-level mana fluctuation came from Master Huang Long, who was already dead.
Then, there is no real elixir level combat power on site.
The surviving fake Danzhenren were either dead or injured.
If the enemy had real elixir power, there would be no need to take so much care. Facing Fu Xuemei who was seriously injured and unconscious, he would not dare to take action easily.
There is no risk to Lu Changan in exploring this endgame, and he has Shi Xianzi as a powerful helper.
The benefits are many.
One can fish in troubled waters and be a scavenger.
Secondly, if you encounter a hidden danger like He Yuanwu, look for an opportunity to get rid of him.
Finally, Ye Fei can be rescued by the way.
"With fellow Taoist Lu's prudence, he is willing to risk his life for Yao Shi Ye. It seems that you have a good friendship?"
The two of them left Wuqi Mountain in a flying boat. Fairy Shi spoke in praise, her lips pursed, outlining teasing.
The two of them had a tacit understanding of their motives for going out to explore.
"I have a deeper friendship with Master Shixianzi. If one day Master Shixianzi is in danger, Lu will also think about it."
Lu Changan replied seriously.
"I can make Fellow Daoist Lu think about it for a moment. I am very lucky to have been born in this life, and I am very touched."
Shi Manrong smiled lightly, revealing a hint of softness in her dignity.
The two have a close personal relationship, and their communication at certain times appears to be more casual.
…
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and there was still an hour before dawn.
Lu Changan and Shi Manrong approached the scene of the incident.
There is some dust scattered in the sky, which has not yet settled.
Looking closely, an entire hill was leveled to the ground, with a deep pit of nearly a hundred feet in the center, and the edges were scorched black.
The surrounding ground seemed to have been hit by powerful aftershocks, showing spider web-like cracks.
Due to the high destructive power, there were no obvious blood stains.
"I've met Fairy Master."
"Master Lu Fu."
There were several Qi Refining monks who were attracted nearby, or they were shocked by the powerful scene and did not dare to approach the central area rashly.
Lu Changan and Shi Manrong approached together, taking care of each other and exploring carefully.
"really……"
Lu Changan dug out a palm-sized fragment of the magic weapon from the soil. The surface was dark yellow and dull, and it lost its spirituality.
This magic weapon fragment confirmed Lu Changan's guess.
He released the rock rats and entered the ruins of the earth in search of loot.
Huanglong Zhenren's natal magic weapon is made of very high quality material. Even if it loses its spirituality, it can still be reused.
Some of the materials of magic weapons are universal and will be useful for Lu Changan to cultivate magic weapons in the future.
Even if it is simply sold, it is attractive to Master Jiedan.
"Friend Lu Dao, look over here."
Shi Manrong cast a spell and lifted up a large rock. The back was stained with blood, revealing a broken and deformed arm bone.
"The deceased had a strong body, hard bones, and good body-refining skills during his lifetime. Judging from the residual mana breath on the blood, he should be a fake elixir master."
Lu Changan came to a preliminary conclusion.
The two looked at each other and suspected that the deceased was the traitor "He Yuanwu" from Huanglong Mountain.
Subsequent searches confirmed their suspicions.
Near the arm bone, other broken corpses were found, as well as broken and exploded storage bags, and broken ax magic weapons.
Some of the objects, including the broken ax magic weapon, can be linked to He Yuanwu's identity.
Unfortunately, the items in the storage bag were basically destroyed, and only a few hard materials were preserved.
"It saves me a lot of trouble."
Lu Changan smiled.
He couldn't help but recall what Master Huang Long said before leaving:
"...If the time is right, maybe we can eliminate a hidden danger for Wu Qishan."
Master Huang Long was not sincere in helping Wu Qishan solve his troubles.
Killing the traitor He Yuanwu should be his dying wish.
In the Huanglongshan War more than ten years ago, He Yuanwu stabbed him in the back, causing heavy losses to Huanglongshan.
Huang Long's real person "passed away", and Fu Xuemei was seriously injured and evacuated later. He Yuanwu was more active than the foreign enemies, trying to kill them all and covet the inheritance.
"There is only He Yuanwu's body."
Lu Changan's spiritual consciousness searched every corner, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Huanglong Zhenren only has one chance to take action, and he will die if he uses it up.
His body was not found, perhaps he was taken away by the Fu siblings.
But Lu Changan didn't believe that He Yuanwu acted alone.
Apart from anything else, it would be very difficult for He Yuanwu to confirm the traces of the three people in Huanglongshan.
Zhou Qingxuan had visited Little Turtle Peak before, and Lu Changan guessed that the beast-controlling Zhou family might be cooperating with He Yuanwu.
The Zhou family is good at controlling beasts. If they master special spiritual beasts and insects, it would not be unusual for them to be able to track Huang Long and the others.
During the beast tide, the earth dragon beast was seriously injured and critical. Huanglong spent a lot of money to find strange people, and Zhou Qingxuan was invited to treat it.
…
Whizzing!
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and other foundation-building monks rushed to the scene.
"Let's go find Fellow Daoist Ye."
Lu Changan communicated with Shi Manrong and stopped staying.
Since they were the first to arrive at the foundation building stage and understood the situation well, the two boldly approached and easily "picked up" the most valuable items.
The rest of the junk was simply given to other monks.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, look at your expression and look for Fellow Daoist Ye. You should have an idea."
Shi Manrong smiled slightly and looked at Lu Changan, who was looking calm and calm.
"He Yuanwu is entrenched in the surrounding area and has kidnapped Medicine Master Ye. He should not be imprisoned too far away."
"Just now, in the storage bag that He Yuanwu exploded, there were the remains of Daoist Fellow Ye's belongings. The Earth Rock Rat remembered the auras of the two..."
Lu Changan smiled.
The victim is not far away, and once you master the tracking medium, the difficulty is greatly reduced.
Most of the day passed, from early morning to late evening.
Lu Changan and Shi Manrong targeted the barren mountains and forests fifty or sixty miles away.
A wooden house covered by dense foliage came into view.
Lu Changan and the other two did not enter the wooden house rashly.
I scanned it with my spiritual consciousness first and found only a simple layer of restrictions. Perhaps it was because I had no power to maintain it for a long time and it was not very powerful.
Suddenly, Lu Changan felt something and raised his head to look at the sky.
A small black spot flashed away under the cover of clouds.
"Second-order bird?"
Lu Changan's senses were sharp, and he came to a conclusion after a brief glance, and couldn't help but think deeply.
Squeak!
The rock rat climbed up the tree and pried the wooden house open.
Suddenly, a faint musty smell poured out.
"Fellow Daoist Ye!"
In the wooden house, there lay a motionless young man with short hair.
There were a few rotten fruits scattered around him, and a blue centipede crawled beside his face with distinct features.
If he hadn't sensed the fluctuation of life, Lu Changan would have almost thought it was a corpse.
"..."
Seeing Lu Changan and the two of them, Ye Fei rolled his eyes hard, revealing a feeling of surprise and relief.
"Fellow Daoist Ye has been restrained and his body cannot move."
Shi Manrong stepped forward and took a look.
The restriction on Ye Fei was placed by the fake elixir master He Yuanwu. Fortunately, the restriction is not complicated, but the intensity exceeds the foundation building period.
As a quasi-third-level array mage, Shi Manrong only needs a little time to break this restriction.
"Thank you for your hard work, Fairy. I'll go outside and keep an eye on you."
Lu Changan walked out of the wooden house.
He asked the rock rat to guard the entrance of the cabin, and he walked around the area, looking for anything suspicious.
At this time, Lu Changan felt the sensation again and looked up to see the black spots passing by the clouds in the sky.
"It's the second-order bird from before."
Lu Changan did not pursue him.
It is difficult for human monks to catch up with the speed of birds of the same level.
call!
A piece of feather fell from the sky.
Lu Changan took the feather, with a transmission talisman tied to it.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, Master Huanglong and He Yuanwu died together. The little girl escaped by chance, but was seriously injured and needs assistance."
"Please go to the bamboo forest ten miles away to the north. The little girl has important information to share."
The update on the 23rd will be later than the previous two days.
