The bear demon outside the valley sat on the spot and called to the rock rat in the training hall.
Two waves of true elixir-level spiritual consciousness came into contact and communicated in the sky above the valley.
The Earth Rock Rat sent a message to Lu Changan through the spiritual pet contract.
It turned out that the bear demon was attracted by the earth rock rat's elixir-forming atmosphere and had the idea of making friends with him.
The third level demon has extraordinary intelligence and keen senses.
Being from the same demon race, the mid-level third-level bear demon has a more accurate judgment on the quality of the Earth Rock Rat's core formation.
"Haha, a third-level bear demon is smarter and knows the current affairs than the real Huxiao."
Lu Changan chuckled.
Of course, Master Huxiao's behavior was mainly due to his stance, coupled with jealousy.
When the bear demon was first attracted, he may not have good intentions.
Lu Changan heard that survival in the world of monsters and beasts is more cruel. When monsters break through to a greater realm, they can easily attract the prying eyes of their kind.
The bear demon didn't take action, perhaps because of some trade-off.
After all, the Earth Rock Rat did not form the elixir alone. He was protected by a third-level formation and had three human fake elixirs in charge.
Rather than taking action by force, it is a better choice to befriend a third-level demon with great potential.
Confirmed that the third-level bear demon would not take action, Master Hanyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"I forgot to congratulate Master Xiang. My spirit beast has formed an upstream true elixir and entered the ranks of great demons."
She smiled, a bit envious.
At this time, the Earth Rock Rat has been promoted to the third level and will not be disturbed by the outside world. It only needs to consolidate its realm.
"Fellow Taoist Hanyu is the first monk to congratulate a certain family! Watch and enjoy!"
With a bold look on his face, Lu Changan took out six middle-grade spiritual stones from Master Huxiao's storage bag.
Master Hanyu was startled for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "That Hanyu is touched by the joy of the third-level demon."
She calmly accepted six middle-grade spiritual stones, equivalent to six hundred low-grade spiritual stones.
Lu Changan has a great background. He has a third-level great demon and is as good as a true elixir cultivator. His status far exceeds hers.
Lu Changan had another purpose for doing this.
Since Master Hanyu has received the stolen money, the death of Master Huxiao will be jointly borne by the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce.
Master Hanyu knew this very well.
In order to win over a powerful fake elixir and a third-level demon with unlimited potential, the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce still has this responsibility.
"Master Xiang must be prepared. Before his death, Master Huxiao sent a message to the Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce. The true elixir ancestor of the chamber of commerce will arrive soon. Of course, Han Yu also notified the true elixir ancestor of his own chamber of commerce.
.”
Master Hanyu reminded.
"What is the cultivation level of the ancestor of the Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce?"
"The early stage of true elixir."
Hearing this, Lu Changan felt relieved.
At this point, he has two choices.
First, let the rock rat consolidate its realm.
Second, give up consolidating and run away directly.
If he chooses to run away, it will not be conducive to the stability of Earth Rock Rat's realm, and the consequences of him killing Huxiao will be borne by the Snow Demon Chamber of Commerce.
The Snow Demon Chamber of Commerce provided the Evil Spirit Pill and the training venue. Even though it was a transaction, Lu Changan still owed something.
The important thing is that after the Earth Rock Rat was promoted to the third level, Lu Changan was not afraid of the early stage of the true elixir at all.
The bear demon outside the valley is also a temporary ally.
…
Before the ancestors of the two major chambers of commerce arrived, Lu Changan counted the storage bags of Master Hu Xiao and eliminated anything suspicious.
Killing Huxiao Zhenren seems simple, but in fact it requires a lot of planning.
Lu Changan paid for a treasure talisman that was as powerful as a third-level low-grade one.
The third-level treasure talisman is difficult to kill the fake elixir real person when shot head-on.
At that time, Lu Changan's spiritual consciousness transmitted the message, and Master Hanyu blocked it, drawing Master Huxiao's attention.
He used the Qi-condensing ability of Evergreen Gong to reduce his sense of presence and quietly approached the door of the side hall.
His body refining technique had reached the fake elixir level without the need to use magic power, and he also had the Evergreen Technique to gather energy, so he was not immediately noticed by Master Hu Xiao.
In the end, through the unexpected attack of the treasure talisman and the close attack of the fake elixir-level body refining, the effect of killing him with one blow was achieved.
If he were to kill a prosperous fake elixir head-on, even if Lu Changan used one or two treasure talismans, it would still take a lot of effort.
In the ancient ruins, the two fake elixir masters died at the hands of Lu Changan. One was injured and attacked from behind by him, and the other was killed by cooperating with the third-level poison. It took a lot of time to kill them.
For the same level of combat power, Lu Changan tried his best to avoid head-on confrontation, how could he know that the opponent did not have a hidden trump card?
As a longevity person, Lu Changan would rather be the sinister and sophisticated Lao Lu than the hot-blooded Xiao Lu.
In the storage bag of Master Huxiao, Lu Changan counted out the high-value trophies.
As the core executive of the Great Chamber of Commerce, it is not surprising that Master Huxiao possesses two third-level talismans for protection.
The amount of spiritual stones in Huxiao Zhenren's storage bag was considerable, which allowed Lu Changan's spiritual stone cash flow to increase to more than 100,000 again.
It is equivalent to saying that Lu Changan's efforts in forming the elixir for the Earth Rock Rat fully recovered the cost and even made a small profit.
This is the charm of killing people and seizing treasures, which has always been popular in the world of immortality.
…
After finishing the whole process, Lu Changan returned to the training hall.
On the stone bed in the center of the hall, a muscular rat demon was practicing cross-legged practice. Every time he breathed in and out, he stirred up violent winds of dust and metal.
"The changes are quite big." Lu Changan said with a low smile.
After being promoted to the third level, the rock rat has a body length of nearly two feet, long limbs, orange hair all over its body, and a bunch of standing purple hair on its head.
At first glance, it looks like a giant leopard with strong muscles and a streamlined body.
squeak!
The rock rat opened its brown eyes and nodded to Lu Changan, expressing his gratitude.
After all, he was a third-level demon, so Lu Changan felt a slight pressure under the gaze of the other party.
"After this rat consolidates its realm, its strength exceeds the initial stage of my true elixir in my previous life."
Lu Changan thought to himself.
Fortunately, the spiritual pet contract between the Earth Rock Rat and him is still stable.
Faced with the friendship and solicitation of the third-level bear demon, the Earth Rock Rat showed no intention of moving, which shows that it is still loyal to Lu Changan.
Lu Changan closed his eyes, and his mind merged with the second life of the Jiuyin Monument. With his powerful and amplified consciousness, he explored the demon elixir in the Earth Rock Rat's body.
The Earth Rock Rat noticed the consciousness that was far beyond his own, and his heart trembled. He let go of his guard and allowed Lu Changan to inspect it.
After spending hundreds of years together day and night, it naturally noticed that its owner was unusual.
If it weren't for Lu Changan, it would have exploded and died as early as when it hit the second level and took the Tuling Pill with abnormal medicinal properties.
Without Lu Changan's plan to form the core, it would not have become the Great Demon it is today.
"Hey! This demon pill..."
A crystal-clear and round earth-yellow inner elixir bloomed with glazed brilliance, reflecting Lu Changan's senses.
Judging from the quality of the finished elixir, it is indeed an upstream true elixir.
The difference is that the surface of this true elixir is dotted with a little gold speckled texture.
Lu Changan's spiritual consciousness touched the golden spot texture and sensed a Taoist rhythm that coincided with the laws of heaven and earth.
"Golden elixir Daoyun!
Lu Changan's face was shocked and in disbelief.
The Earth Rock Rat not only formed the true elixir of the upper reaches, but also touched the threshold of the golden elixir.
"What a pity! If it were of earth-grade blood, I'm afraid it would have obtained the immortal golden elixir."
Lu Changan was in disbelief and exclaimed.
The immortal golden elixir is the seed of Nascent Soul!
If one can obtain the Golden Elixir of Immortality, even with low-grade spiritual roots, there is great hope of being promoted to the Nascent Soul Stage.
For immortal cultivators, the influence of spiritual root qualifications will gradually decrease the further you advance.
The quality of the completed elixir is a symbol of the monk's heritage and potential.
"Strange! Although the Earth Rock Rat has a solid foundation, it obviously does not have such a deep foundation. Even if there are two superior pill-forming spiritual objects, the upper reaches of the true pill should be the limit..."
Lu Changan fell into deep thought.
"Is it because of the Five Elements of Earth that there is a bonus when using earth monsters?"
Lu Changan couldn't determine the specific reason.
The five-element soil he gave to the rock rat was dug from near the black wood gourd vine. I wonder if this factor was involved.
Lu Changan decided that in the future when he would form an elixir, he would also dig some Five Elements soil from near the Xuanmu Gourd Vine to use as an elixir-forming spiritual object.
Anyway, the rock rat crossed the river ahead by feeling the stones and found a way for Lu Changan.
"The little guinea pig back then actually achieved a half-step golden elixir."
Lu Changan withdrew his consciousness and was almost jealous.
You must know that the quality of the elixir he originally set in this life was only the upper reaches of the true elixir, and he still had the possibility of being promoted to Nascent Soul.
Back then, the Rock Rat was willing to take the pill in question, which was part of a gamble, and he became a guinea pig for a while.
Fortunately, with the protection of Evergreen Kung Fu, not only did the white mouse survive, but its bloodline also mutated.
…
Lu Changan walked out of the training hall without disturbing the rock rat's practice.
Although Lu Changan was pleasantly surprised that the Earth Rock Rat formed the Half-Step Golden Pill, he also had some worries.
Although Upstream Zhendan has outstanding potential, it is not uncommon to look at the surrounding immortal cultivation countries.
As long as your qualifications are acceptable and the chance of forming an elixir is good, you will have a chance to form an upstream true elixir at any late stage of foundation building.
The Half-step Golden Pill is somewhat eye-catching.
If it is exposed, it may attract the attention of the late-stage Dan Jie Daxiu and even the Nascent Soul Lord.
"As long as the Earth Rock Rat doesn't attack with all its strength, ordinary true elixir monks won't be able to tell the clues. After all, a considerable part of the monster's strength comes from its bloodline."
Lu Changan thought.
He could see the specific quality of the elixir because the Earth Rock Rat let go of its body.
Under normal circumstances, the Earth Rock Rat's body is automatically protected by demonic power and spiritual consciousness. Unless the level of cultivation is far beyond the realm, it is difficult to detect it directly.
If you pursue safety, it is best for the Earth Rock Rat to avoid fighting with True Alchemy monks of the same level.
Waited for another half hour.
Two true elixir-level auras, one after the other, arrived at the steel fortress in the Black Mist Mountains.
The two true elixir monks sensed the third-level mid-level bear demon outside the valley, and showed fear.
"Grandpa Guangjun."
Master Han Yu waved the formation flag and came forward to greet them.
The true elixir ancestor of the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce, whose Taoist name is "Guangjun", is an ancient old man with gray hair and chicken skin, holding a cane.
"Zhenren Guangjun, I have heard about his fame for a long time."
Lu Changan cupped his hands and said.
"Master Xiang! Congratulations."
Guangjun's wrinkled old face showed a kind smile, showing a complete friendship between his peers.
The fake elixir master and the real elixir monk are half a level apart.
In some cases, they are peers; in other cases, the fake elixirs regard themselves as juniors and treat them with respect.
This depends on the strength and attitude of the true elixir monk.
Lu Changan disguised himself as a fake elixir, and his spiritual pet became a third-level great demon, which qualified him to be on an equal footing with the real elixir monks.
…
"Old man Guangjun, your Xuehu Chamber of Commerce collaborated with outsiders to murder Master Hu Xiao of our chamber of commerce. Do you want to give an explanation?"
An unkind voice came from another yellow-skinned middle-aged man riding a giant wolf and wearing a leather coat and cloak.
This true elixir monk has a complexion as yellow as a grapefruit, and his round and deep eyes shine with a chilling light.
The giant wolf under it has two wings on its back, and is a quasi-third-level monster.
Sensing the presence of two large third-order monsters nearby, the giant wolf did not dare to show its anger.
"Old Huang! Master Hu Xiao from your chamber of commerce tried to destroy the spirit pet elixir of a friend of our chamber of commerce, but was killed by mistake. Isn't it his own fault?"
Master Guangjun looked at his old enemy for many years and said with a dumb smile.
Lu Changan exchanged a look with Master Han Yu and learned the identity of this person.
The yellow-skinned middle-aged man wearing a leather coat and a large cloak is the true elixir ancestor of the Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce, and he is a well-known profiteer in the merchant association.
This person values business more than Taoism, and has no Taoist title.
The outside world gave him the Taoist nickname "Huang Lang Zhenren" because his surname was Huang, and his peers sometimes called him "Old Huang".
Huang Lang's true strength is not outstanding, but he is particularly good at business and has a mixed reputation.
Even though he was promoted to a true elixir monk, he still controlled the business of the Chamber of Commerce and did not fully delegate power to his subordinates.
"Kill by mistake?"
Master Huang Lang sneered and his eyes fell on Lu Changan:
"What do you call this fellow Taoist?"
"My last name is Xiang!"
Lu Changan did not avoid his gaze and said arrogantly.
"In the death of Master Huxiao, Mr. Huang requested the senior management of the Merchant Alliance to come and investigate. As a suspect, you are not allowed to leave this place without authorization."
Master Huanglang's eyes were sharp, and he exuded the spiritual pressure of the early stage of the true elixir, saying without any doubt.
"A mere business alliance cannot restrain Xiang! How can you be so virtuous and capable as to dare to investigate a certain company?"
Lu Changan said in a domineering and disdainful tone.
As soon as this statement came out, several real people present changed their expressions.
In the world of Jing Kingdom's immortal cultivation, the merchant alliance rules half of the sky, and few monks dare to speak so loudly, even the true elixir monks.
Lu Changan just finished speaking.
Roar!
Two powerful auras of the third-level demon were locked on the real Huang Lang at the same time.
The bear demon in the outside world roared dissatisfied at the real Yellow Wolf.
Huang Lang's eyelids twitched, and the two-winged demon wolf under him was so frightened that he peed.
Especially the bear demon, which is a mid-level third-level demon, has a terrifying aura.
Even if the two true alchemy monks at the scene join forces, they may not have a chance of winning.
"This communication jade pendant is a relic of Master Huxiao. If it can be cracked by a third-order formation master, we may be able to detect the messages it once transmitted."
Lu Changan turned over his hand and took out a jade pendant, and said slowly.
Huang Lang's face was ugly and he stared at Lu Changan intently.
He had sent a message to instruct Huxiao Zhenren to take action, so he naturally knew it well.
Lu Changan's head felt strange, and he felt like he was being peered into his heart.
"Old Huang, peace brings wealth. Sit down and have a good talk."
Master Guangjun tried to smooth things over.
If necessary, he did not want to break up with the more powerful Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce.
Master Guangjun was old and weak, and his life span was only twenty or thirty years.
Huanglang Zhenren is in the prime of life and has a sufficient lifespan, and there are other alchemy offerings in the chamber of commerce.
…
As a famous profiteer, Huang Lang saw the situation clearly and followed the steps.
Several real people took their seats in the side hall.
"Master Xiang, can you get to know the leader of the Demon Sect, 'Liang Shaotian'? I think back then, Huang and Leader Liang had a good time drinking and talking about a business deal."
Master Huanglang said in a calm tone.
"Xiang is not familiar with Master Liang. However, I had dealings with him when I was cultivating immortals in Liang Kingdom."
Lu Changan heard the man's probing intentions and said ambiguously.
The three real people present had different expressions and couldn't help but think deeply.
Lu Changan denied his relationship with Liang Shaotian, but they had interacted with each other again, and they were in the immortal world of Liang Kingdom.
You must know that both Liang Shaotian and Xiang Jinglong came from the world of cultivating immortals in the Liang Kingdom.
"Master Xiang, it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. Can I have a private talk with Mr. Huang?"
Master Huang Lang secretly transmitted the message.
"No need! Xiang has no intention of becoming an enemy of your Chamber of Commerce, and you should not use Headmaster Liang to suppress a certain family."
Lu Changan responded coldly and refused the private meeting with Master Huang Lang.
He believed that Huanglang Zhenren had dealt with Liang Shaotian in his early years.
But with Liang Shaotian's current status, if he is not at the level of late Zhendan major cultivation, he is not qualified for equal dialogue.
"Can Zhenren Xiang hand over the relics of Zhenren Huxiao to Mr. Huang?"
Huanglang Zhenren retreated and settled for the next best thing.
"good."
Lu Changan returned Master Xiang's storage bag and spiritual pet bag to Master Huanglang.
Of course, all the valuable items were taken away, and the remaining items were of low value or personal items.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiang, for making it possible."
Master Huanglang took the items and breathed a sigh of relief, but did not investigate the missing valuables inside.
Get the relics of Master Huxiao and give an explanation after returning to the Merchant Alliance.
The current situation is beyond our control.
Lu Changan has the support of two third-level demons and the protection of Master Guangjun.
"Zhenren Xiang" has a great background, so Huanglang Zhenren has no choice but to swallow his anger for the time being.
One day later.
After completing his "investigation", Huang Lang took the two Chamber of Commerce foundation-building monks from Steel Fortress and left this land of right and wrong.
"Ancestor, the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce has the help of a true elixir demon, which is not a good thing for the Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce. How should we deal with it next?"
The accompanying old man from the Chamber of Commerce Foundation asked for instructions.
Master Huang Lang's eyes shone with shrewd light, he stroked his beard and smiled, and said firmly: "Don't worry, that Master Xiang and the Xuehu Chamber of Commerce are not of the same mind, at most they owe a favor."
"That's good." The old man who built the foundation of the Chamber of Commerce felt relieved.
Their ancestors were extremely talented and had a keen sense of people's hearts.
"That true elixir cultivator from the Liang Kingdom still needs to work harder. If we can win him over as a worshiper, the strength of the Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce will be even greater!"
