After the auction ended, the flow of people in Yunyan Fairy City was greatly reduced.
Xunxianfu Inn.
In the superior guest room in the private courtyard, Lu Changan set up temporary formations and isolation restrictions.
He closed his eyes and sat quietly, taking the second-grade quality life-extending pill that he had bought at a high price.
Suddenly, a mysterious energy of the cycle of time lingered around Lu Changan.
He seemed to be transformed into a towering ancient tree. Spring passed and autumn came, and the dead tree returned to spring. Life cycle, round after round.
This time the medicine's effect lasted longer than ever before.
"Prolong life by twenty-eight years!"
Lu Changan opened his deep eyes like ink, and his body exuded an aura of vicissitudes of time.
The state of mind has been settled, and the magic power has also been slightly improved.
To be honest, the effect of the high-quality longevity pill exceeded Lu Changan's expectations.
A trace of surprise flashed across his face, and he thought:
"Normal monks can extend their life by more than ten years by taking ordinary second-level life-extending pills, and the best ones can extend their lives by no more than fifteen years."
Because of the special nature of Changqing Gong, Lu Changan's effect is doubled, and it can also extend his life. However, the effect of the medicine will be attenuated.
"So, if I take the high-quality second-level life-extending pill, the effect will be calculated from scratch?"
Lu Changan came to a preliminary conclusion.
Ordinary monks, to achieve this effect, must take a higher-grade third-level life-extending pill, or a corresponding level of life-extending spiritual object.
Lu Changan then thought about it. The high-quality longevity elixir was equivalent to a half-level improvement.
Ordinary monks can superimpose the life-extending effect to a certain extent, let alone yourself.
"Life is four hundred and ninety-seven years."
This is the sixth second-level longevity pill that Lu Changan has taken.
He estimated that if he took another ordinary second-level life-extending pill, his lifespan would exceed five hundred years.
"The effect of the medicine is really good! Unfortunately, high-quality longevity elixirs are difficult to find and require strict requirements on materials and alchemists."
Lu Changan knows the taste of the marrow and even feels addicted.
A long life, for him, has many benefits.
It’s about mana strength. You have more time to plan for the big realm, and you don’t have to risk your life and death to compete for resources.
Moreover, the Evergreen Secret Technique consumes life span, which can be used to cultivate blackwood gourd vines and promote the production of precious medicinal materials.
In the world of immortality, there should not be too many powerful means of consuming life span.
For example, the art of divination and calculation.
In this way, spying on the secrets of heaven and using powerful divination secrets can easily shorten your life.
In the second life, Lu Changan calculated that he had only scratched the surface of the subject. Besides not having so much energy, he also had concerns in this regard.
The effect of the high-quality longevity elixir gave Lu Changan more expectations and plans for the future.
…
Lu Changan waited for another three days in Yunyan Fairy City and finally received news from the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce.
Eight days have passed since the date of the agreement, but Master Hanyu has not overdue.
Lu Changan went to the headquarters of the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce alone.
This time, he was received not only by Master Han Yu, but also by another Master Fake Dan from the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce.
The latter is a white-haired old man with only more than 20 years left in his life. He is the former president of the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce.
Lu Changan guessed that Master Hanyu was concerned about the strength and identity of "Master Xiang" and found a helper.
"Master Xiang, this is the 'Sha Yuan Dan' that our chamber of commerce sent to Yunyan Fairy City as a rush."
Han Yuzhen, who was wearing a silver-haired snow robe, had a cold voice, touched the sleeves of her skirt, and turned out a suet bottle with her jade hands.
Opening the bottle cap, a gray-white elixir surrounded by demonic smoke came into Lu Changan's field of vision.
After Lu Changan used his spiritual consciousness to investigate, he nodded slightly.
The rock rat in the spiritual pet bag became restless.
"If there is no problem with Mr. Xiang, we will make the deal as agreed before."
"good."
Lu Changan took out the dark purple third-level demon elixir.
The two trading items, under the control of mana, floated towards each other simultaneously.
There was no accident. Lu Changan successfully obtained the Sha Yuan Pill with a smile on his face and a certain heart.
This transaction is so stable, thanks to the strong strength and potential identity he created.
If it is a foundation-building period without background, the risk of trading at this level may be quite high.
Yuansha Dan can help monsters advance to the third level, and it can also be regarded as a strategic resource controlled by the major forces in the world of immortality.
"Master Xiang is indeed a man of his word! The Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce is willing to make you a friend."
Master Hanyu, who had received the third-level demon elixir, confirmed it was correct, breathed a sigh of relief, and showed a smile like melting winter snow on his face.
Although Lu Changan's demon elixir has been downgraded to the third-level low-grade, it has a rare thunder attribute, and the demon elixir's power is pure.
Used to refine Shayuan Dan, which slightly increases the success rate and quality.
If you meet a suitable true elixir cultivator, you may have the opportunity to sell it at a high price.
Therefore, Xuehu Chamber of Commerce still made a profit from this transaction.
Lu Changan knew this very well. But this was a reasonable profit margin that the other party should have.
Large chambers of commerce have more channels and connections, including some master craftsmen. This is an advantage that individual monks cannot match.
"Thanks to Fairy Hanyu!"
Lu Changan heard the implication of the other party's words.
"It's a pity that Xiang is not a monk in the surrounding area. I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities to make friends in the future."
If there is no demand for such high-end transactions, Lu Changan does not want to act ostentatiously outside as Xiang Zhenren.
At present, the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce only suspects that he is Xiang Zhenren, but is not completely sure.
At the auction, the other monks didn't even know his last name.
…
After the transaction, the three of them sat down and chatted for a while.
"Master Xiang is trading Sha Yuan Pills, but is he preparing pills for spiritual pets?"
The white-haired old man next to Master Hanyu stroked his beard and smiled.
Lu Changan nodded: "That's right."
"Monsters attacking to form pills are different from monks like us. Has Master Xiang found a suitable place to form pills?"
"This matter has not yet been determined."
Lu Changan hesitated slightly and shook his head.
A foundation-building monk needs a third-level spiritual pulse dojo to form elixirs.
There are differences between monsters and humans. More than half of their strength is related to their physical bloodline, and their demand for spiritual dojos is slightly lower.
Generally speaking, a quasi-third-level spiritual pulse dojo is adequate.
If combined with the "Demon Array" and investing in spirit stones and corresponding treasure materials, it would be a more suitable environment.
In this way, you can get close to the spiritual veins containing demonic characteristics in the Black Mist Mountains.
In contrast, for human monks to attack pill formation, the environment of third-level spiritual veins is indispensable, unless there are heavy treasures or special heaven and earth spiritual objects to supplement it.
In the world of Jing Kingdom's Immortal Cultivation, foundation-building monks need to borrow the third-level spiritual veins of the major immortal cities in the Merchant Alliance to attack the formation of pills.
This requires application, endorsement of the identity of the Chamber of Commerce, and payment of spiritual stones.
After all, impacting the third level requires a huge amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and has an impact on the city's protective formation. If placed anywhere in the world of immortality, it must at least have the tacit approval of the fairy city's management forces.
This is also the reason why Lu Changan is willing to stay in the Xia family.
With the endorsement of Wufu Chamber of Commerce, when he wants to form an elixir, as a merchant alliance monk who has been rooted in Jing Kingdom for many years, it will be easier to pass the review.
"Our Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce is engaged in the business of monster materials, and we have joined forces with another chamber of commerce to control a secret place in the Black Mist Mountains. It is a special spiritual place suitable for monsters to attack and form pills, and there is even a slight gain."
Master Hanyu and the white-haired old man looked at each other and said.
When Lu Changan heard this, his heart moved and he continued to listen.
"This special spiritual place is generally not open to other chambers of commerce or individual monks. Unless you have a deep friendship with our two major chambers of commerce and are willing to pay a certain price."
"What's the price?"
Lu Changan asked bluntly.
Master Hanyu said: "It can be a rare spiritual object, or a promise..."
"Well, Xiang will think about it after he returns."
Lu Changan understood that the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce valued his strength and background, and that this transaction was trustworthy, which was why this happened.
The special spiritual place in the Black Mist Mountains is indeed more suitable for the Earth Rock Rat to condense pills, but it is not a necessary condition.
Lu Changan borrowed the Xia family's quasi-third-level spiritual veins, combined with the demon formation, and invested the corresponding treasure materials, and the earth rock rat could also attack the third level.
Of course, if the Xia clan knew the situation, they would definitely put forward conditions.
And after subsequent investigation, Lu Changan's true identity will most likely be exposed.
In the surrounding immortal world, Lu Changan was not an important figure or a wanted criminal in the sect. Under the premise that the Earth Rock Rat successfully formed the elixir, even if his original identity was revealed in the future, it would be nothing.
…
Returning to Xunxian Inn, Lu Changan thought for a moment.
"It will take many years for me to reach the ninth level of foundation building. I will first help the Earth Rock Rat form an elixir to ensure the fake elixir. When I attack the elixir formation in the future, the Earth Rock Rat's cultivation and deterrence will be able to protect me from forming an elixir.
.”
He had already made clear his idea of forming elixirs in Jing Kingdom.
After all, Lu Changan was cultivating immortals in Jing Kingdom without any friends he once trusted to take care of him.
The Earth Rock Rat formed an elixir to protect him in the future.
At the critical moment of forming the elixir, the monk's energy is tied up and he is unable to fight, leaving him with a period of weakness.
When Fu Xuemei formed the elixir, she could not interfere in the fighting outside at all. The most she could do was to send some talismans, talismans and other external objects to protect her.
Lu Changan also has a century-old relationship with the rock rat, and is restricted by the spiritual pet contract, so he doesn't worry about it betraying him.
Lu Changan's spiritual consciousness, powerful physical body, and the Nine-Seal Monument are his trump card.
Even if the Earth Rock Rat is promoted to the third level and achieves the true elixir, without a huge gap in soul, it will still be difficult to devour the master and forcibly break away from the spiritual pet contract.
Before leaving Yunyan Fairy City, Lu Changan called Wang Feng over.
"Senior, what are your orders?"
Wang Feng bowed respectfully, not daring to express his dignity.
After the auction, Wang Feng learned that the old man in coir raincoat he received was actually a fake elixir master.
"I want to leave Yunyan Fairy City, and this is your reward."
Lu Changan waved his sleeves.
Twenty spiritual stones and a jade tube fell into Wang Feng's hands.
"Thank you, senior, for the reward."
Wang Feng was grateful and thanked him again.
He is not really acting. Now he has become a low-level monk and cannot move without a spiritual stone.
Back then, he was hunted down by demonic cultivators, and later encountered robbery cultivators. His storage bag could not be brought back to Jing Kingdom.
Wang Feng sent Lu Changan out of Xunxian Mansion.
After returning to his residence, he took out the jade tube given by Lu Changan.
"Medicine to regulate the body?"
Wang Feng looked at the contents of the jade tube and was shocked.
The prescription recorded in the jade tube requires some precious medicinal materials to deal with the hidden diseases caused by his decline in cultivation and damage to his meridians and Dantian.
Wang Feng was naturally frightened when his secrets were revealed.
"I'm afraid this senior is an expert! I wonder if he can see my true identity?"
Wang Feng had an intuition that he might have missed an opportunity to return to Liang Lihuo Palace.
The other party saw the problem with his identity, but did not feel embarrassed, which showed that there was no malicious intent.
He quickly chased him out of the Xunxian Mansion Inn, but had lost track of the old man in coir raincoat.
…
Lu Changan did not want to get involved with Prince Wang for the time being, even though he might be able to dig out secrets from him.
Mr. Wang has the background of a powerful elder in the Lihuo Palace. He is probably a major practitioner in the late stage of pill formation, which is at the same level as the peak of his previous life.
Therefore, before Lu Changan left, not only did he not face any difficulties, he also showed some kindness.
The healing prescription requires a lot of precious medicinal materials. If Prince Wang has the ability to obtain the spirit stones, he may be able to restore his cultivation.
Two days later.
Lu Changan, who was far away from the Yunyan Fairy City, restored the original temperament of the "Wu Fan" alchemist.
After returning home with a full load, Lu Changan flew to the Xia family in Qingshawan.
The next day, we were still half an hour away from Qingshawan.
Lu Changan flew over the open Changhong River.
Qingshawan is a branch of the Changhong River, one of the three major river basins in Jingguo.
"Um?"
Lu Chang felt relaxed and happy. While admiring the river scenery, he suddenly sensed the movement of the fighting.
Looking closely, he saw two foundation-building monks in gray robes, chasing a tall female cultivator in blue clothes.
"Fellow Taoist, help me! My name is 'Xia Shenglan', a monk born in Qingshawan..."
The girl in Lan Shang is in the middle stage of foundation cultivation. She has an average appearance and is dignified and beautiful. But now she is in a miserable state, her skirt is stained with blood, her face is pale, and she is dripping with cold sweat.
This woman had obviously gone through a fight, was seriously injured, and had lost her magic power.
Whoosh!
With a wide view of the Changhong River, Xia Shenglan noticed that Lu Changan was flying to Qingshawan. As if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, he unleashed his secret skills and flew towards this direction.
"Fellow Taoist, please don't meddle in other people's business!"
The two gray-robed monks were in the middle stage of foundation building and the late stage of foundation building.
The speaker is a lean young man in the middle stage of foundation building. He controls a top-quality magic weapon called a flag flag, and rolls up a green cloud of clouds, accompanied by sharp wind blades, to chase down Xia Shenglan, a female cultivator in blue clothes.
"Are you... Master Wu?"
Xia Shenglan flew closer and looked at the middle-aged man with a round face and a yellow beard, and unexpectedly guessed Lu Changan's identity.
The two have never met in the clan.
Lu Changan had some guesses about her identity. He seemed to have heard Xia Wenyue mention it during their previous chat.
"As an external monk of the Xia clan, how can Wu not save someone who is near death?"
Lu Changan took his time and presented a silver shield, a top-quality magic weapon.
Buzz!
The silver shield flew out, its surface shimmering with crystal light, and expanded to several feet in length and width in the wind, covering Xia Shenglan's arrival to join Lu Changan.
There were only two people who were in the foundation building stage. Although there was one in the late stage of foundation building, Lu Changan didn't take it to heart.
Anyway, he is near the clan area, so he can rescue him easily and sell the Xia clan to him.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Wu, you were forced to sign a spiritual contract with the Xia Clan back then, and your only job was to make alchemy. Why would you risk your life for such a family?"
A loud male voice, with a hint of disdain, came from another strong man in the late stage of foundation building.
This person's cultivation has actually reached the pinnacle of foundation building.
"Haha, it turns out to be fellow Taoist Fang Zhong."
Lu Changan glanced at the burly man and noticed the evil aura on his body. Then he saw through the other man's disguise and couldn't help but laugh.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, we met on the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce's Spirit Ship back then. Step aside and Fang will spare your life."
Fang Zhong did not deny his identity, and his voice and expression were stern.
Na Xia Shenglan was seriously injured, her magic weapon was damaged, and her body was overdrawn due to the secret technique.
If Lu Changan is ignorant, Fang Zhong is confident that he can kill him together before the reinforcements of the Xia tribe in Qingshawan arrive.
