The destruction of Lihuo Palace has long been a thing of the past, and fewer and fewer monks are paying attention and discussing it.
In fact, in places such as Jing Kingdom and Liang Kingdom, the traces of monks from Lihuo Palace are almost extinct.
In the realm of immortality in the Liang Kingdom, the Jinyang Sect, which moved north, initially stabilized the situation.
Qiufeng Island, in the medicine garden.
Lu Changan, who is over 163 years old, is still youthful, with fair skin, gentleness and handsomeness.
"Have all the monks from Lihuo Palace moved away?"
Lu Changan stood with his hands behind his back, facing the shadow of the fruit tree behind him.
"Mr. Hui Lu, Lihuo Palace has gathered hundreds of elite monks, boarded a third-order spiritual ship, and headed to the 'Seven Nations Alliance' in the west."
Xing Peng's voice came from the shadows.
Lu Changan looked thoughtful, having heard about the Seven Nations Alliance.
The Xiuxian Kingdom over there has more developed commerce and is much stronger than the neighboring countries of the Feng Kingdom.
"You, Wujianmen, have no idea about the relocation of Lihuo Palace?"
"The Lihuo Palace's true elixirs have recovered from their injuries in the later stages of the overhaul, and many true elixirs have gathered together. We can't do anything with our small manpower. Even if the war starts, I, the Wujian Sect, are not willing to confront a large number of monks head-on."
The hooded man in the shadow shook his head.
The intelligence area that Wujianmen is responsible for is not limited to the surrounding areas of Fengguo and the Seven-Nation Alliance.
In areas where a war is going on, or where an invasion is imminent, the Wujian Sect will be carefully infiltrated.
"Is there any whereabouts of the Supreme Elder from Lihuo Palace?"
These days, Xia Wenyue is not on the island, so the communication between the two does not need to be particularly secretive.
"No."
Xing Peng said in surprise: "I have tested the rumors from above. It seems that our sect has lost the whereabouts of Master Lihuo. In recent years, Master Lihuo has not had any contact with the monks of Lihuo Palace.
"
Lu Changan remained calm. Time was still short, and it would be difficult for the outside world to guess that Master Li Huo had died.
Considering the long life span of True Monarch Nascent Soul, it is not unusual for him to recuperate and practice and stay in seclusion for ten or twenty years.
If the time drags on for too long, and if Master Lihuo has not yet appeared after more than ten years, the outside world will become suspicious.
Judging from the current situation, Lu Changan is not too worried about involving himself.
By then, he had become a true elixir monk and ranked among the upper echelons of several surrounding countries.
Unknowingly, Lu Changan was halfway through the eighth-level foundation building stage and was getting closer and closer to the ninth-level foundation building.
Return to the training room.
Lu Changan closed his eyes and studied, and almost fully understood the "Returning to the Dust" that he bought from Zhang Tieshan.
There is no guidance from famous teachers, it all depends on the vision of the past life and personal research and exploration.
The method of converting elixirs is very unpopular and extremely dangerous, so you have to be cautious.
Lu Changan had no experience in his previous life, so it was an unknown territory.
The consciousness enters the Nine Seal Monument in the mind.
The white-bearded old man in the second life has been illuminated 70%, and will be fully illuminated again in one or two years at most.
The shadow of the purple-robed Taoist in the fourth life is uncertain, and is more illusory than the shadow of the soul in the previous two lives.
In the past two or three years, Lu Changan obtained some useful information from the huge and messy memory fragments, some involving the secrets of Lihuo Palace.
Among the three ways of reincarnation in the Nine-Seal Monument, Lu Changan currently prefers the second one, which is to have a previous reincarnation in the Nascent Soul stage.
This method has the most stable income.
Among them, the one that touched his heart the most was the reflection he had when he transformed into a baby and passed through the calamity.
In Lu Changan's previous life, he failed to attack the Nascent Soul stage and died.
Of course, Lu Changan would not hang himself from a tree. It would be best to follow the current and fulfill Master Lihuo's wish and settle the cause and effect.
You must never get yourself involved in the whirlpool of sect struggle.
The other two methods can also be used as alternatives, depending on the subsequent development of this life.
…
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Changan completed his routine training and the cultivation of treasure talismans.
Due to the limitation of cultivation mana, those third-level treasure talismans made of second-level high-quality materials have minimal nourishment effect.
The eight talismans made from the ghost bamboo are similar.
Especially for those two third-level high-quality items, Lu Changan basically couldn't feel the change.
"The mana used to cultivate it is far from the level of the treasure talisman. I'm afraid it won't be improved until the elixir is formed."
After completing two daily routines, the time is approaching noon.
In the afternoon, Lu Changan will spend time cultivating flowers and grass, or studying various arts of immortality.
In the evening, set aside two hours to use the foundation-building spiritual fire of Evergreen Gong to sacrifice the embryo of the magic weapon.
Lu Changan plans to use the fourth-level soul-nurturing wood as the embryo of future wood-based magic weapons.
At present, the main purpose is to cultivate the spirituality of the soul wood and establish a relationship with oneself through the spiritual fire sacrifice.
What form of magic weapon will be created in the future has not yet been determined.
It is best to hire a trustworthy third-level weapon refiner.
Lu Changan probably has a good idea of the candidates for the weapon refiner.
At the same time, Lu Changan was also practicing talismans, puppets, and alchemy. Lu Changan no longer had any more energy to study other skills of cultivating immortals.
Among them, alchemy has not yet been promoted to the second-level mid-level, and Lu Changan has almost given up.
"Strange! Wen Yue hasn't come back yet?"
Three days later, Lu Changan took Xuan Shui Turtle to get some air on Qiufeng Island and noticed something unusual.
In the past few years, Xia Wenyue's internal illnesses have been almost cured.
Her body is no longer weak. As a foundation-building monk, she cannot stay on Qiufeng Island all day.
Occasionally go out to communicate, relax, and go to Fangshi and Fairy City to purchase supplies.
Lu Changan knows very well that truly powerful monks have to go through wind and rain, and flowers in the greenhouse can never become great.
Until the evening of that day.
A white escaping light filled with cold air staggered and fell on Qiufeng Island.
Lu Changan's expression changed slightly, and he stepped forward to hold Xia Wenyue, whose breathing was disordered and whose face was pale.
"Mr. Lu...I was attacked."
Xia Wenyue's hair was messy, and her white dress, like snow, was torn and stained with blood.
There was a deep wound on the shoulder and lower back, stained with burnt black blood, as if it had been injured by a spell or magic weapon.
Fortunately, the injuries are not fatal and are not life-threatening.
"Who did it?"
Lu Changan became angry and input Changqing's magic power to stabilize Xia Wenyue's injuries.
"It's a fake Dan real person, wearing a black outfit that hides his appearance. If it weren't for the life-saving trump card given by Mr. Lu and the clan leader, Wen Yue might not be able to come back today."
Xia Wenyue's heart was still frightened, her chest rose and fell, and her pale and pretty face gradually returned to calm.
After a moment, a false elixir-level escaping light landed on Qiufeng Island.
It comes from none other than the clan leader Xia Hongyu.
Seeing the injured Xia Wenyue, Xia Hongyu's face was as gloomy as water. Even if he cultivated his health and cultivated his character as well as him, there was anger in his eyes.
"Mr. Lu, how is Wen Yue's injury?" Xia Hongyu suppressed his anger and looked at Xia Wenyue with concern.
"Clan Chief Xia, don't worry. Wen Yue's injury is not particularly serious, and the foundation has not been shaken. He will be fine after a period of cultivation."
Lu Changan's words made Xia Hongyu's heart settle.
…
Half an hour later.
After the questioning, Patriarch Xia and Lu Changan discussed secretly in the study.
"Judging from the attacker's methods described by Wen Yue, they look very much like Mr. Wu from the Crescent Chamber of Commerce!"
"That old immortal is so shameless! The fake elixir master unexpectedly attacked a girl who was in the early stage of foundation building."
Xia Hongyu lost his former elegance and said angrily.
Xia Wenyue's life-saving trump cards include talisman treasures, quasi-third-level talismans, third-level escape talismans, etc.
In terms of life-saving means, he is no worse than the core disciples of Yuanying Sect.
If not, it would be difficult for Xia Wenyue to come back alive under the attack of False Dan Zhenren.
"How is the clan leader going to deal with this?"
Lu Changan said with a calm expression.
The cause and effect of this incident is probably that the Crescent Chamber of Commerce doubted Xia Wenyue's qualifications and wanted to strangle him in the cradle.
It's not that Xia Wenyue's innate Taoist body was leaked.
But the one who knows you best is always your enemy.
Hostile forces will inevitably study every key figure in the Xia family.
Lu Changan once gave Xia Hongyu advice on sending Xia Wenyue to a Yuan Ying-level sect. The three sects in Jing Kingdom were not qualified.
Xia Hongyu always wanted to keep Xia Wenyue in the family. As long as Xia Wenyue cultivated the true elixir, she would be through the dangerous period.
"Old Ghost Wu attacked a genius of his own clan, so Xia naturally had to fight back, tooth for tooth."
Xia Hongyu's eyes were cold and he did not hide his murderous intent.
Lu Changan understood what he meant.
Since you are plotting to attack the geniuses of the Xia family, then I will also attack your geniuses.
Xia Wenyue was attacked, and it was useless to find a business alliance.
For this kind of incident, the business alliance's method of handling is that whoever claims it has to provide evidence.
If Mr. Xia suspects that Mr. Wu is responsible, he must provide ironclad evidence on his own.
Unless it is a particularly egregious case with great influence, the top management of the business alliance will send people to strictly investigate it.
"Old ghost Wu must be on guard when he misses. If Chief Xia wants to retaliate against their genius, it will be difficult for him to be effective. He might even fall into their trap."
Lu Changan did not agree with Xia Hongyu's revenge methods.
"Haha, Xia actually didn't plan to do it himself. He waited until the news came out and spent a lot of money to hire a black market killer to come forward."
"As long as there are enough spiritual stones, we can hire fake elixir-level killers."
Xia Hongyu is worthy of being a monk of the health preserving school, but he is too old to do anything.
"If you just kill one or two late-stage talents, you won't solve the fundamental problem."
Lu Changan sighed.
"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Lu?" Xia Hongyu looked over in confusion.
"Hit the snake within seven inches. To capture the thief, capture the king first."
"What do you mean, Fellow Daoist Lu, kill Old Ghost Wu from the New Moon Chamber of Commerce?"
Xia Hongyu frowned slightly, feeling a little whimsical.
"To kill a well-established fake elixir like Mr. Wu, you have to mobilize at least two people of the same level, or even ask for real elixirs to take action. Xia cannot afford it."
There is generally not much difference in strength between fake elixirs.
Defeat is normal.
The difficulty of killing is quite high.
"Lu once met an old friend of a real person in the Liang Kingdom. He had outstanding strength and was sure to kill the fake elixir. The real person happened to be in the Jing State recently and lacked spiritual stones, third-level spiritual objects and medicinal herbs..."
Lu Changan said slowly.
"Is that old friend of Fellow Daoist Lu really sure of killing the fake elixir master?"
Xia Hongyu looked at Lu Changan with a strange look.
This well-known good old man can actually contact a powerful killer?
"I'm 60% sure. Chief Xia, are you willing to give it a try?"
"In terms of remuneration..."
Xia Hongyu hesitated, fearing that he could not afford the invitation.
"You only need to hire twice the reward of a normal fake killer. If the kill fails, the reward can be refunded."
"Okay! Xia doesn't believe in the killer, but he believes in Lu Daoyou's character and integrity."
Xia Hongyu made a decision quickly.
As long as the chief elder of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce is killed, the biggest threat to the Wufu Chamber of Commerce will be defeated without attack.
Another fake elixir from the Crescent Chamber of Commerce is Xia Hongyu's defeated general, so there is nothing to worry about.
…
Two days later, Xia Hongyu came to Qiufeng Island again and handed a storage bag to Lu Changan.
"Don't worry, Patriarch Xia, I will take the time to secretly contact that old friend."
Lu Changan glanced at the large pile of spiritual stones and several third-level spiritual herbs in his storage bag, and nodded with a smile.
After Xia Hongyu left.
Lu Changan took 30% of the profit from the storage bag and threw it on the ground.
squeak!
The rock rat surfaced from the ground and swallowed the storage bag in one gulp.
"In another six or seven years, I will be able to advance to the ninth level of foundation building and prepare for elixir formation. During this period, stability is more important than anything else!"
Lu Changan thought to himself.
He was willing to help Xia solve hidden dangers out of many considerations.
First, Xia Wenyue was in danger, which made Lu Changan unhappy.
Xia Wenyue is the seed he sowed, and it is related to the opportunity of Nascent Soul in the distant future.
Secondly, the road to elixir formation is getting closer and closer, and a stable cultivation environment is needed.
Third, the rock rats need to be self-reliant to increase their chances of actual combat.
As for the doubts that may be exposed in this matter, Lu Changan has naturally considered it.
After getting along with him for so many years, he knew Xia Hongyu's personality quite clearly, and he was the same type of person as himself.
Furthermore, he has stayed in the Xia family for so many years, and after forming the elixir, he will say goodbye to this place.
When he achieves the true elixir, those little doubts in the past will not be worth mentioning at all.
As a veteran in the world of cultivating immortals, who doesn’t have some connections and little secrets?
The next day, Lu Changan went out for a trip and came back within two days.
It was the first time for the Earth Rock Rat to engage in the assassination industry and he lacked experience.
He asked the incense master of Wujian Sect to help collect information, check for omissions and fill in the gaps, and impart some experience.
…
Patriarch Xia has been paying attention to Lu Changan's movements since he paid the reward.
During the two days that Lu Changan went out, he was inevitably a little worried, would the other party run away?
Fortunately, Lu Changan came back soon and everything was restored as before.
In the days that followed, Patriarch Xia fell into anxious waiting, thinking about this incident every day.
After all, a huge amount of compensation was paid, and this matter is of no small importance, as it affects the fate of the two major chambers of commerce.
If it fails and leaves something to be desired, it may lead to backlash.
Until two months later.
Exciting news came that Wu Feng, the great elder of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, died in a mysterious assassination and his body was not found.
Something happened. Let’s keep the number of words short today. The story of forming a pill is coming soon..
