With a "peng" sound, the palm with flowing crystal texture was slapped on the wall, which was enough to withstand several rounds of attacks in the later stages of foundation building. The light flashed around and suddenly cracked.
On the wall made of second-grade ore, there are palm prints that are several inches deep.
Lu Changan's eyes are like torches, and his aura feels oppressive, making him even more powerful than the real person.
When the forbidden light was restored, he punched again in the air, creating a cloud-like explosion several feet away.
squeak!
The rock rat was hiding in the corner, shivering, not daring to look directly into his owner's eyes.
Lu Changan restrained his overwhelming energy and blood, and gave up the idea of testing the rock rat.
"The seventh level of "Yunsha Body Refining Technique", this body refining technique has finally reached its highest level!"
Lu Changan couldn't hide the joy in his heart.
A quasi-third-level body training attainment, looking at the entire Liang Kingdom, is definitely rare.
Back then, He Yuanwu had not cultivated to this level.
Lu Changan's hard power has produced a qualitative leap!
The body refining technique that is also cultivated is not a pure ancient body cultivation. Although it cannot beat the fake elixir master who has a complete body, it is not far behind.
Especially in terms of self-protection, it has been greatly improved.
Excluding the treasure talisman and other trump cards, the threat to him from the fake Dan Master is already very small.
"If the magic power is cultivated to the late stage of foundation building, and complements the body refining technique, it can intimidate anyone in the Liang Kingdom, and it will have a lot of potential in the world."
After a brief period of excitement, Lu Changan became calmer.
Knowing that the world is vast, the more you understand your own insignificance.
Especially, after learning about Baisu Soul Gu’s memory fragments about the Zhongzhou cultivation world.
"In the next few years, I only need to cultivate step by step until the late stage of foundation building."
Lu Changan made up his mind.
In addition, his puppetry skills reached the second-level top level two years ago.
In the next few years, you can try to understand higher levels.
Level 3 Puppet Master is unrealistic.
Refining a quasi-third-level puppet is not an extravagant hope in the later stages of foundation building.
At the beginning, he rescued Fu Xuemei, and the reward he received from Zhenren Huanglong included a third-level puppet inheritance.
This saved Lu Changan trouble.
…
"Master, Fairy Master is back."
A few days later, Lu Changan came out of customs, and the maid Lan Rou came over to report immediately.
A few days ago, Shi Manrong went to Lihuo Palace to attend the wedding of Song Wenshu and Shen Bixin.
In Lihuo Palace there are the True Lord Yuanying, the great monks in the late stage of elixir formation, including the existence of the Immortal Golden elixir.
Lu Changan didn't want to attend the event in person, so he found an excuse to decline and asked Shi Manrong to give him a generous gift.
"You go to Xiaopan Peak and ask Fairy Master to come to your house to talk."
Lu Changan ordered.
After a while, Lan Rou came back from Xiaopanfeng and hesitated:
"Back to my lord, Fairy Master said that the journey is long and I am physically and mentally exhausted. I have no interest in these days."
"Well, let's wait for another day."
Lu Changan was thoughtful and noticed Shi Manrong's sense of alienation.
A few years ago, Shi Manrong would almost never refuse Lu Changan's invitation.
Since pretending to be in love with Zhou Qingxuan, their relationship has become abnormal, and Shi Xianzi has become slightly alienated from him.
Of course, the overall friendship is still there, but it's just not as frank and close as in the past.
Lu Changan didn't care much about this.
A romantic relationship where each takes what he wants is destined to not last long.
Even among the majority of Taoist cultivators in this world, how many of them can be unswerving and unchanging?
…
A few days later.
Lu Changan personally visited Xiaopanfeng.
This time, Shi Manrong did not refuse.
"Fellow Daoist Lu has been busy with so many things these past two years, but you actually have time to visit me in person?"
Shi Xianzi, dressed in a simple and elegant moon skirt, with her hair in a high bun, was dignified and quiet, and said with a soft smile.
"Fairy Master, your words are serious."
Lu Changan remained calm and followed him into Xiaopanfeng's cave.
Fairy Master did not lose her etiquette, behaved gracefully, and personally brewed a pot of spiritual tea for Lu Changan.
Lu Changan came to visit and naturally had something to discuss.
After chatting for a while, the topic turned to the wedding of Song Wenshu and Shen Bixin.
"Fellow Daoist Song and Miss Shen got married in Lihuo Palace. It was a lively and festive ceremony with many guests, including more than a dozen real guests."
"Daoyou Song and his wife received a congratulatory gift from fellow Daoist Lu and asked me to turn into a metabolizer."
"By the way, Jiang Yechen also went to the wedding and got very drunk."
"Jiang Yechen?"
Lu Changan looked surprised.
Jiang Yechen was very brave for daring to come to the wedding.
But as long as he doesn't cause trouble, Lihuo Palace won't do anything to him.
In any case, Jiang Yechen and Shen Bixin fell in love first, and Song Wenshu was the third one later.
If Jiang Yechen had an accident afterwards, Song Wenshu would be highly suspicious.
"Well, I have talked with Daoyou Jiang. With his past temperament, it is not easy for him to maintain restraint at the wedding."
Shi Manrong couldn't help but recall Jiang Yechen's feminine face with bloodshot eyes.
"When Master Shixian came back from Lihuo Palace this time, has he heard any news about the battlefield in Feng Kingdom?"
Lu Changan mentioned issues of concern.
As early as a year ago, the monks from the Liang Kingdom sect who went on an expedition gradually withdrew back to their homeland.
A monk who has not returned will basically never come back.
"There is a temporary truce on the Fengguo battlefield."
Shi Xianzi stated the information he had learned.
"According to inaccurate information, Feng State, Yan State, and Chen State sent representatives to start negotiations..."
"Armistice negotiations?"
Lu Changan looked surprised.
The war in the Immortal Realm of Feng Kingdom lasted for more than twenty years, and in the end there was no winner.
Feng Kingdom, as the strongest immortal cultivating country in the surrounding area, has a long heritage and is full of resilience.
There are three Yuanying-level sects alone.
If the Yan State had not produced an unparalleled genius like Chu Tianfeng and teamed up with the Chen State to catch them off guard in the early stages, the resistance they would have faced would have been even greater.
Lu Changan's surprise was more of his admiration for Tianzhilou.
As early as three years ago, Tianzhilou made relevant predictions about the situation on the Fengguo battlefield. He said that there might be a turn for the better in the future and did not rule out the possibility of negotiation.
Tianzhilou also speculated that in the further future, the Liang Kingdom may fall into war.
This has something to do with the eastward expansion of the Six Demonic Sects.
The news brought back by Shi Manrong gave Lu Changan a clearer plan for the future.
…
Confirming the news about the battlefield in neighboring countries was only one of the purposes of Lu Changan's meeting with Shi Xianzi.
"Has Master Shixianzi made a decision about that matter?"
Lu Changan suddenly switched to voice transmission.
Shi Manrong understood this and set up isolation restrictions around the two of them.
"It will take about the next two years for me to reach the peak of foundation building. In order to have the opportunity to form a pill, that ancient ruins must be explored in the next few years."
Shi Manrong expressed his decision.
"However, I have not recovered the key memory of that ancient ruins. I have only delineated a larger area in the Black Mist Mountains."
"Does Jiang Yechen agree to take action to help Master Fairy repair her memory?"
"There is no agreement."
Shi Manrong shook his head and sighed softly.
"Repairing my consciousness memory will destroy the spirituality of an important treasure in Jiang Yechen's body."
"Back then, I failed to bring Daoyou Jiang and Miss Shen back together. Therefore, Daoyou Jiang was unwilling to take action for free, and the cost of doing so was quite high."
"Oh? What conditions did Jiang Yechen propose?"
Lu Changan was very interested.
"This man is very open-minded. He wants the main elixir-forming medicine, or two rare auxiliary medicines, or a good-quality elixir-forming spiritual substance."
Shi Manrong pursed her plump lips and raised her beautiful eyebrows.
"Opportunity to form an elixir?"
Lu Changan couldn't help but laugh, "Perhaps Fellow Daoist Jiang was unhappy with what happened back then, and thought that Fairy Master was not dedicated enough as a 'matchmaker'."
"You're making fun of me again! Fellow Daoist Lu has some ideas."
Shi Xianzi was not angry and rolled her eyes at him.
"Jiang Yechen opened such a big mouth because he didn't want to lose the spirituality of the treasure he was carrying, and he didn't have the sincerity of the transaction."
Lu Changan deduced.
"We have two options."
"First, spend a lot of money to buy the elixir-forming things that Fellow Daoist Jiang needs, or use other methods to impress him."
Hearing this, Fairy Master's face remained calm.
Lu Changan smiled. At this stage, everyone needs elixir-forming things, so why would they want to give them to others?
"Second, directly use force to kill people and seize treasures."
Lu Changan said calmly.
Fairy Master's beautiful eyes flickered, she glanced at him unexpectedly, and said nothing.
Lu Changan suspected that Shi Xianzi might have had this idea.
For the opportunity to form elixirs, even a monk who has accumulated good deeds for hundreds of years may break the bottom line.
Once you form a true elixir, you can join the ranks of high-level monks and enjoy a life span of five to six hundred years.
For any foundation-building monk, it is an irresistible temptation.
"I have an uneasy feeling when I attack Fellow Daoist Jiang."
After a long time, Master Shixianzi sighed quietly.
"In recent years, Fellow Daoist Jiang has quite a record. He once killed an evil cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment who was wanted by the sect. The evil cultivator was not inferior to the Night Fisherman in strength."
"Did Jiang Yechen grow up so quickly?"
Lu Changan thought to himself.
"Secondly, I am worried that even if I capture the treasure and use it with another person, I may not be sure to successfully restore my memory."
Shi Manrong expressed her concerns.
"Shi Xianzi has thought very carefully."
Lu Changan knew that some special treasures might have their owners recognized, or they might require unique secret techniques.
At the same time, there is another situation that must be considered:
Jiang Yechen was forced into a desperate situation, and he was likely to destroy the treasure before his death to prevent the enemy from succeeding.
"It's better to do this. Fairy Shi will continue to think of ways to persuade fellow Daoist Jiang. Whether or not to take action will be decided after Lu tries to attack the later stage of foundation building in a few years."
Lu Changan made suggestions.
Shi Manrong nodded and agreed.
She has not yet reached the peak of the late stage of foundation building, so if she is more prepared, she can increase her chances of winning whether facing Jiang Yechen or ancient ruins.
After talking about business, Lu Changan suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at, Fellow Daoist Lu?"
"Ahem! Mr. Lu just found the 'conspiracy' just now very interesting."
Lu Changan realized his gaffe.
The scene just now seemed like a pair of villain concubines plotting to kill a real protagonist.
According to Lu Changan's experience before traveling through time, eight out of ten times, nine out of ten will fail, or even lose a lot of money.
Shi Xianzi thought about it for a moment, and when she thought of some words, she couldn't help but feel angry.
"Friend Lu Dao, please respect yourself. The relationship between you and me is no longer what it used to be. Don't insult my innocence."
She spat softly, with a calm look on her face, and invited Lu Changan out of the cave.
…
Three months later.
Little Turtle Peak, in the pool filled with lotus fragrance.
Lu Changan finished his routine practice and lay on the back of the huge black water turtle.
Squeak!
The Earth Rock Rat walked on the waves and handed the letter that had just been delivered to Lu Changan's hands.
In the past two years, thanks to the Zhou family's beast pill qualifications, Earth Rock Rat's cultivation speed has accelerated significantly.
The Xuan Shui Turtle also got a little light.
However, Xuan Shui Turtle has a similar slowness to Lu Changan in terms of cultivation.
Investing certain resources in Xuan Shui Turtle can steadily improve its cultivation level.
If more resources are given, the effect will not be proportional. Once it exceeds a certain margin, there will be no cost-effectiveness.
In terms of age limit, Xuan Shui Turtle is only slightly better than Lu Changan.
If we invest ten times or a hundred times regardless of the cost, this turtle can grow faster.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao's preparation for the elixir formation was not going well..."
Lu Changan looked at the contents of the letter and murmured.
Although the letter sent by Zhao Siyao did not make any request, it implicitly expressed his own difficulties.
In these years, Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan, who had returned from the battlefield, were preparing to form pills.
Both of them have made meritorious deeds on the battlefield, and once worked together to kill the fake Dan real person.
However, in terms of accumulation of military exploits, Zhao Siyao was far inferior to Zhang Tieshan.
The first battlefields Zhang Tieshan went to had great achievements and rich accumulation, and his gains far exceeded those of Zhao Siyao.
Even before going to the battlefield, Lu Changan knew that Zhang Tieshan's family was rich.
Coupled with his outstanding performance on the battlefield and being appreciated by the upper-level elders, Zhang Tieshan obtained a Crystal Condensation Pill in Jinyun Valley, which was basically a sure shot.
Zhao Siyao is far behind Zhang Tieshan in terms of prestige, strength, and military exploits.
Even if Zhao Siyao reaches the peak of the later stage of Foundation Establishment, within the sect, it is impossible to wait in line for the Crystal Condensation Pill within ten years, and this does not count the pill-forming spiritual objects.
Once you reach the age of one hundred and thirty, every year you delay, the probability of forming a core will decrease slightly.
Over the age of 150, the success rate drops significantly.
…
"It has taken a hundred years to get to this point, and the qualifications to prepare for elixir formation have surpassed 99% of the monks."
Lu Changan's gaze was profound, as if he had traveled through time.
Lin Yi, Li Erqing, Mu Xiuyun, Mu Maode... old friends who met a hundred years ago fell behind on the way.
Some have died or passed away, and some have stalled in their cultivation and lost their potential.
In the eyes of the outside world, at Lu Changan's age, he has not yet reached the late stage of foundation building, so he has no chance of forming a core.
Compared with Zhao Siyao or Zhang Tieshan, he is decades behind in cultivation progress.
However, no one knows that Lu Changan has basically locked up a spot for true elixirs in this life.
What he currently wants is to make the quality of the elixir as high as possible and increase the probability of having a baby in this life.
After a long time, Lu Changan recovered his thoughts.
He waved, and the Earth Rock Rat sent the letter and pen and ink to the Xuan Shui Turtle's back.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, every monk who has reached this point has gone through many difficulties and obstacles, and there is no fuel-saving lamp."
"One third depends on the person, and seven points depends on the fate. I can't help you much with this level of pill condensation."
