A man and a woman in white clothes and skirts, like a couple of gods and goddesses, slowly descend from the clouds.
Within the field of vision, the outline of a lake continues to expand. Under the early morning light, the waves sparkle and shine like jade.
Lu Changan looked down at the familiar Feiyue Lake at his feet. This is the first spiritual dojo in this world when he embarks on the path to immortality.
Zhao Siyao stared at the profile of the man next to her and could feel Lu Changan's special feelings for Feiyue Lake.
"Master Jiedan!"
The two of them did not deliberately hide their magic power. The monks from the Mu family in Feiyue Lake below felt the faint spiritual pressure.
The clan protection formation lit up, and there was a brief panic.
"Uncle Lu!"
"Brother!"
Soon, two foundation-building mana fluctuations flew out of Yuexin Island in the center of Feiyue Lake.
The female cultivator in front of me is in the late stage of foundation building and looks to be in her late thirties.
Wearing a dark blue dress, she has a beautiful appearance, graceful temperament, and a slightly plumper figure than before.
It is none other than the contemporary elder of the Mu family in Feiyue Lake, Mu Bingyun.
Behind him was an old man who was over 70 years old and slightly stooped, and his speed was a bit slower.
"Er Qing?"
Lu Changan looked at the white-haired old man in front of him and recognized his identity from the familiar outline of his face.
"I've met Uncle Lu, I've met Senior Zhao."
Mu Bingyun slowed down and bowed.
She stood to one side and looked at the old man and the young man who met again.
Li Erqing, who was dying, with wrinkles on his face and tears streaming down his face, trembling, grabbed Lu Changan's arm.
Like an 18-year-old man in white, he restrained his true elixir aura, smiled, and reached out to pat the old man's shoulder.
This scene seems strange, but in the world of immortality, similar scenes are not uncommon.
Mu Bingyun stared at the familiar figure not far away. Her clear eyes, which had been calm for many years, rippled and then gradually returned to silence.
"The younger brother forgot to congratulate the elder brother for forming a true elixir..."
Li Erqing's mood was stable and he immediately raised his hands to congratulate him.
"Congratulations to Uncle Lu for forming the elixir. I wish Uncle Lu may live longer than Nanshan and may the path to immortality be evergreen."
Mu Bingyun smiled brightly.
Lu Changan glanced at Mu Bingyun, nodded and said, "It has not been easy for you to manage such a large family these years."
Mu Bingyun has changed a lot.
After being the ancestor of the Mu family for decades, she has experienced the cruelty of the Immortal Cultivation War. She has become more mature, graceful and noble, and has the majesty of a foundation-building elder.
However, there are gains and losses.
The solitary gracefulness of the past has been smoothed away; the spirituality of a girl with picturesque features has also been exhausted.
A monk like Zhao Tan'er who has always maintained a sincere heart is very rare in the world of immortality.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, you are here too."
Li Erqing looked relieved when he saw Zhao Siyao with Lu Changan.
Under the awed eyes of the Mu family cultivators, the four of them were talking and laughing as they flew to Yuexin Island.
Lu Changan watched Li Erqing's aura and predicted that he would not live to be 200 years old, and that he would have ten or twenty years to live.
Many years ago, Li Erqing was seriously injured in the battle to cultivate immortals.
After one or two years of recuperation, the injury will be cured, but it will have some impact on life span.
…
Yuexin Island Cave Mansion.
Lu Changan sat at the top, and the four of them talked about old times together.
"Brother Lu, I can see you again before my life comes to an end. I will have no more regrets in this life."
Li Erqing laughed, his old face glowing red, like a flashback.
He has grown from a young farmer to his current status, branching out in the Immortal Cultivation family, and is very satisfied.
Li Erqing's achievements are indeed not high.
But his grandson, Li Congren, built up his later cultivation and founded a Li family of immortal cultivators.
Although his son Mu Jiu'an is somewhat estranged from his relationship, he was promoted to False Pill decades ago and has some status and connections in the Jinyang Sect.
"You are already an old man, so control your emotions and don't have ups and downs, otherwise your life span will be affected."
Looking at Li Erqing whose face was glowing red, Lu Changan reminded him.
"It's not that I'm so happy to see my eldest brother."
Li Erqing didn't care much.
Whenever he meets Brother Lu again, he seems to have returned to Jinyun Valley a hundred and fifty years ago.
In the fantasy world of the third level, the young farmer was awakened by the morning hen's crow.
Although Li Erqing has many heirs.
Lu Changan was the only person who had been with him for many years and witnessed his life.
From a young farmer, to a wealthy middle-aged member of the family, to now in his twilight years.
Half an hour later, Lu Changan had a more comprehensive understanding of the Mu family in Feiyue Lake today.
The current situation of Feiyue Lake is pretty good. Although its development speed is not as fast as Xuemeishan Li's, it is relatively stable and there are no hidden dangers.
This is due to many reasons.
First, Feiyue Lake now has three foundation-building stages.
In addition to Li Erqing and Mu Bingyun, there is also a newcomer who is in the early stage of foundation building.
Secondly, the relationship with Jinyang Sect is good.
Thanks to Mu Jiu'an's care, the Feiyue Lake Mu family surrendered, offered the Beauty Pill, and received better treatment.
After Mu Jiuan became the fake Dan Zhenren, he naturally took care of the Mu family.
Because I have a lot of contacts with Mu Jiuan and Jinyang Sect.
Mu Bingyun became a Taoist couple with a disciple of the Jinyang Sect's Foundation Establishment inner sect, and even gave birth to an heir.
It is equivalent to saying that Feiyue Lake has more foreign aid.
As long as we fight steadily and the Jinyang Sect of the Liang Kingdom is not destroyed, there will be no major crisis in the next one or two hundred years.
During the chat, Lu Changan learned the definite news about Wu Qishan.
Wuqi Mountain is the spiritual vein dojo of Jinyun Valley, and it has not changed much so far.
Xiaogui Peak is still there, its name has not been changed, and it is continued to be leased by Qi Feng, the mountain guard at that time.
Mu Bingyun and Li Erqing spoke highly of Qi Feng, saying they were experienced in dealing with things, had a tenacious heart, and had rich experience in practical combat methods.
Qifeng's bodyguards also cooperated with Feiyue Lake.
…
Lu Changan stayed at Feiyue Lake for a few days.
During this period, Li Erqing and Mu Bingyun both visited individually.
Li Erqing mainly talks about old times or talking about his children.
Mu Bingyun mainly asked for advice on drawing talismans and practicing cultivation.
She also feels nostalgic for those years when she was the maid of Xiao Guifeng.
Through solving doubts in practice, Lu Changan discovered that after Mu Bingyun reached the later stage of foundation building, her practice was not as smooth as before.
The little benefits Lu Changan had brought to her by warming her body and repairing her foundation had now almost been exhausted.
Mu Bingyun has a middle-grade spiritual root, so her achievements today are not bad, and she has fulfilled the expectations of her master Mu Xiuyun.
Having been in charge of the family for a long time, after getting married and having children, I feel more comfortable and lack the will to be brave and enterprising.
After Lu Changan left, this woman didn't have any good opportunities.
Mu Bingyun visited for the last time and brought a handsome young man in white, who was only fifteen years old and in the early stages of Qi refining.
The boy's name was Mu Changxiu.
Long show?
Lu Changan thought about the name silently with his head in his head and guessed the meaning of Mu Bingyun's name.
"Meet Grandpa Lu."
Mu Changxiu kowtowed to Lu Changan.
"This piece of jade has a warming effect on the body. It is a greeting gift from Grandpa Lu to you."
Lu Changan took out a piece of second-grade jade and gave it to Mu Changxiu.
"Thank you, Grandpa Lu."
At such a young age, Mu Changxiu understood the dignity of Master Jie Dan and treated him respectfully, with admiration and yearning in his eyes.
When Mu Bingyun and her son left, a trace of surprise appeared on Lu Changan's face.
Mu Changxiu's appearance and temperament are somewhat similar to him, especially the way he is dressed in white.
It was not until later that Lu Changan found out that it was Mu Bingyun's husband in the Jinyang Sect, who looked somewhat like him.
Early next morning.
Lu Changan and his two friends said goodbye to their old friends from the Mu family.
Between the clouds, Lu Changan and Zhao Siyao flew some distance away.
Just like the tacit understanding that has existed for more than a hundred years.
The two met, smiled, and waved goodbye.
…
The process of flying to Wuqi Mountain.
Lu Changan recalled inexplicably the four people from Hengshui who met in Jinyun Valley.
"After all, it still affects their destiny..."
Lu Changan knew that even though he didn't do anything deliberately, his push at some point changed their fate.
Otherwise, Zhao Siyao and Li Erqing, who have no background in the world of immortality, will have a harder time than before, at least in the early stages of cultivation.
For example, Zhao Siyao faced unspoken rules in the sect back then. Without Lu Changan's talisman, she would have died on the battlefield of cultivating immortality.
Li Erqing had his life-saving talisman. During the family fight, he broke his leg while trying to escape.
Lin Yi, the young marquis, has the strongest opinions and is little influenced by Lu Changan.
However, he was also the first to die.
The remaining Li Erqing's path to immortality has come to an end, and his remaining life is less than twenty years;
Zhao Siyao still has more than a hundred years to live, and there is only a slim chance.
Lu Changan looked towards the north with far-reaching eyes.
"Today, I am just a long-lived person who has escaped from the middle and lower levels of the world of immortality. I am far from being called a powerful person."
Even if you are a powerful person, you will still have some regrets in your long life.
Half a day later.
The familiar Wuqi Mountain shrouded in clouds and mist came into Lu Changan's sight.
The overall outline of Wuqi Mountain has basically remained unchanged.
Only in some peripheral areas, there are a few incomplete peaks, which seem to be witnesses of the "Jin Yang Northward Movement" war to cultivate immortality.
Perhaps because of the cultivation of spiritual veins, the grade of Wu Qi Shan's spiritual veins has improved compared to the past.
Lu Changan's powerful true elixir power soon alerted the monks on Wuqi Mountain.
Xiaodanfeng, Xiaopanfeng, Xiaoguifeng.
The three main peaks are all protected by formations, and each is inhabited by monks in the foundation building stage.
The owner of Xiaodan Peak has the strongest cultivation level and is in the late stage of foundation building.
"True elixir power!"
"Lu... Lu Changan!?"
Xiao Danfeng, a middle-aged alchemist with a beard and a green shirt, stared at him leisurely, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Ye Fei lives in a corner and often refines elixirs behind closed doors. Currently, there is no news that Lu Changan has formed a true elixir.
There are six major sects, ten aristocratic families, and a lot of true elixir cultivators in the Liang Kingdom's Jinyang Sect.
Most ordinary monks don't pay much attention to the true elixirs born in neighboring countries.
Some low-level monks didn't even know that Lu Changan had gone to Jing Kingdom, and they had long downplayed this figure.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, I haven't seen you for thirty years. How are you doing? Now you have become the oldest talker in Wu Qi Mountain."
Arriving at Wuqi Mountain, Lu Changan felt much more relaxed, and there was a sense of ridicule in his hearty laughter.
I think back then, Ye Fei passed his review and became one of the three peak masters of Wuqi Mountain.
The young man with the most junior qualifications has now become the boss of Wu Qishan.
"Lu... Master Lu is overly praised!"
Ye Fei came over in a daze, and quickly came out of Xiaodanfeng with a "swish" sound.
"No matter it was in the past or today, you will always be the leading brother. You can just call me 'Xiaoye'."
Ye Fei complimented and laughed, and planned to invite Lu Changan to Xiaodan Peak for tea.
At this time, the peak masters of the other two main peaks were alerted and came out to see Master Jie Dan.
The owner of Xiaopanfeng is a middle-aged woman who is in the early stages of foundation building.
Lu Changan felt familiar. She seemed to be a maid who served Master Xianzi back then?
The owner of Little Guifeng is a burly man wearing leather armor and with a calm aura.
"Grandpa Lu? You are back!"
The sturdy man was none other than Qi Feng. When he saw the man in white who was the same as he was thirty years ago, his face was excited and his eyes were moist.
Qi Feng, the mountain guard.
The descendants of Lu Changan's adoptive father in this life possess spiritual cultivation roots, obtain the "Open Source Sutra" he left behind, and embark on the path to immortality.
Later, Guan Qiaozhi, who had no hope of success, returned to the secular world and became Qi Feng's celestial being.
This is also like how Taoist Guan became Lu Changan's immortal guide.
Before Lu Changan left the Liang Kingdom on a turtle, he left a foundation-building opportunity and cultivation experience to the mountain guard Qi Feng.
In addition, the two old second-level puppets guarding the cave also stayed at Little Turtle Peak.
Rejecting Ye Fei's invitation, Lu Changan followed Qifeng to Little Turtle Peak.
…
"Chiffon, you really did not disappoint Grandpa Lu."
Lu Changan glanced at Qi Feng, then looked at the environment of Xiaogui Peak, and felt satisfied.
Qi Feng has built three levels of cultivation, and his magic power is stable.
This person's spiritual consciousness is tenacious, and his cultivation speed is not inferior to that of a middle-grade spiritual root. He should have some small opportunities if he works hard outside.
The environment and general layout of Xiaogui Peak has basically remained unchanged.
Squeak!
Puff!
The rock rat and black water turtle got out of the spiritual pet bag and returned to their once familiar environment, feeling even more familiar.
The rock rats burrowed into the mountain peaks, and the tunnels they dug back then are still there.
The black water turtle was lying lazily by the pool, feeling happy and looking in a certain direction habitually.
Near the back hill, Lu Changan keenly discovered two graves.
The tombstone of one of the tombs is engraved with the words "Tomb of Master Guan Qiaozhi".
"This is the tomb of Aunt Guan and Rou'er."
Qifeng's tone was low as he introduced the two tombs.
After listening to the narrative, Lu Changan knew the reason.
Several years after Lu Changan left Liang State, Guan Qiaozhi passed away.
The mortal orphan adopted by Guan Qiaozhi was buried.
Later, Qi Feng moved it here after he became the peak owner of Xiaogui Peak.
Among the orphans adopted by Guan Qiaozhi back then, two or three of them had spiritual roots. Qi Feng introduced them to the path of immortality, trained them carefully, and joined his bodyguards.
The other grave is that of Lan Rou, the maid of Little Guifeng.
After Lu Changan left, Qi Feng and Lan Rou got married.
Later, Lan Rou also cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and she was similar in age to Guan Qiaozhi, who was building the foundation back then. Qi Feng got a bad foundation building pill and wanted to help her build the foundation.
As a result, Lan Rou failed to build the foundation, and the backlash was severe, and she died within a few years.
"He is a kind and righteous person."
Lu Changan thought to himself that he admired the mountain guard Qi Feng a little more.
"Next, Grandpa Lu will stay in Xiaogui Peak for a while, and he won't live and feed you for free..."
In the cave, after a sumptuous dinner, Lu Changan revealed his plan.
One of the reasons why he stayed here was to wait for his master, the Fairy.
More than twenty years ago, Shi Xianzi left a message to Zhao Siyao, saying that she had something very important to explain.
Lu Changan didn't bother to search for the whereabouts of Fairy Shi.
He returns to his homeland with true elixir cultivation, and his fame will quickly spread to all parts of the Liang Kingdom.
If what he said back then was important, Fairy Shi would have come to Wuqi Mountain to look for Lu Changan.
"Grandpa Lu, you will always be the master of Little Guifeng. You can stay as long as you want."
Qi Feng was excited and couldn't get what he wanted.
…
In the following days, Qi Feng served Grandpa Lu as a junior servant.
On Little Turtle Peak, besides Qi Feng, there were also several of his own confidants.
Qi Feng did not move the master bedroom where Lu Changan had stayed in the cave. It could be seen that he was not sharpening his weapons in front of the battle, but respected him from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Changan took the time to give Qifeng some advice and repair two damaged second-level puppets.
After several pointers, Qi Feng felt like he was enlightened. He felt that every point Grandpa Lu pointed out touched the key to his own cultivation process.
"He is truly a powerful elixir."
Qi Feng noticed that there was a huge difference between Grandpa Lu and Ye Fei, the peak master next door.
In terms of cultivation, he once humbly consulted Ye Fei from the main peak next door, and even gave him gifts. The results were incomparably better than Grandpa Lu's.
Qifeng didn't get any guidance from other real people, and he didn't know that Lu Changan's careful guidance was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Seven days later.
A false elixir-level mana approached, and an elegant and beautiful figure soon fell down.
"Master Fairy!"
The peak master of Wuqi Mountain and the affiliated outer peak monks recognized the identity of the person.
There were also many admiring looks among them.
Shi Manrong is wearing a moon-colored dress, which outlines her elegant and plump curves.
Her hair is tied up in a high bun, her face is as white as a chrysanthemum, and she looks like a noble and dignified teacher.
Because he had eaten the Zhu Yan Pill that Lu Changan had traded and was promoted to a fake pill, Shi Xianzi's appearance was the same as before.
"Fairy Master, Mr. Lu has been waiting for you here for many days."
Lu Changan, dressed in white, walked out of the cave in Xiaoguifeng and said with a smile.
"I cannot bear to have the famous Master Chang Qing wait in person."
When Shi Manrong saw the familiar, gentle man in white, he couldn't help biting his lower lip, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
Lu Changan smiled, knowing that Shi Manrong was a little unhappy with him for leaving without saying goodbye.
Thirty years have passed, and the world of immortal cultivation in Liang has changed. The supreme Nascent Soul power has also changed hands.
Affected by the war, transnational intelligence was hindered. For a long time, Shi Manrong did not know whether Lu Changan was alive or dead.
…
Dongfu, in the teahouse.
Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for many years, but Lu Changan and Shi Manrong were respectful to each other.
Shi Xianzi sits elegantly, dignified and elegant, her eyes are as light as water, and she seems to have lost the interest she once had in Lu Changan.
Because of her status as a fake elixir master and a master of third-level formations, she gives people a sense of nobility that they dare not despise and feel ashamed of themselves.
Lu Changan also knew that it was normal for him to feel distant after not seeing each other for so many years.
Although he and Shi Xianzi got along well, it was a casual romance after all, and it was hard to tell how much real emotion there was.
But this kind of relationship is very free. No one has to restrain the other, let alone take responsibility.
The two chatted for a while and learned about each other's situation over the years.
As a third-level formation mage, Shi Xianzi is very popular in the Liang Kingdom. She has long-term cooperation with several fairy cities and several big families, and has a wide range of connections.
"Fairy Master, before you left the ancient ruins, I suggested you..."
Lu Changan got to the point and asked questions he was concerned about.
"After Fellow Daoist Lu left, I studied the formations in the ancient ruins and became a third-level formation master. Before I left, I followed your advice and let the ancient ruins core collapse."
"That treasure house space?"
"Collapsed together."
Master Xianzi said calmly.
Because she has a deep understanding of the relic formations and is in line with the inheritance of the formations she has obtained, she has such a powerful means.
"That's good, Master Shixianzi did a great job."
Lu Changan breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, I have some bad news to tell Fellow Daoist Lu."
"Huh? Are there any omissions left back then?"
Lu Changan was slightly startled.
In fact, with his current status and cultivation, as long as he does not expose the secrets of Xuanmu Gourd Vine and Five Elements Earth, he will not cause trouble.
Opportunities like the ruins cave are relatively common in the world of immortality.
In the intelligence of Wujianmen, Lu Changan got an opportunity from the ruins, and finally succeeded in forming a pill at an advanced age.
After becoming a high-level monk, the opportunity of a true elixir level is no longer a concern.
"this matter……"
Master Shixianzi looked solemnly, looked around, and asked Lu Changan, who was a true elixir cultivator, to place a strict restriction.
Then, her red lips moved and she sent a message to Lu Changan.
"Tinghai Pavilion, a large Nascent Soul-level sect near the sea in Tianheng Continent? There were once close to ten Nascent Soul monks in this sect, and a late Nascent Soul monk was in charge..."
At first, Lu Changan's face was calm, but after hearing this, his expression was shocked.
"What! Transformation stage!!"
The news revealed by Master Shixianzi made Lu Changan's scalp numb, and a chill spread all over his body from the soles of his feet.
It turned out that after Lu Changan left, Fairy Shi broke through the restrictions of another pavilion in the center of the ruins.
In that pavilion, Fairy Shi found a jade book, similar to a diary, which recorded more information about Tinghai Pavilion.
According to the records in the jade book, Tinghai Pavilion, the underground ruins where people took refuge, had been tracked by "overseas forces" during their transformation to gods stage.
Transformation of God into Heavenly Lord!
Lu Changan has been cultivating immortality for two generations. Not only has he never seen it, he has never even heard of it. Where has such a powerful person appeared?
Looking at the Tianheng Continent, except for the ancient Zhongzhou and Fenghuazhou where the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty is located, it is probably difficult for most areas in the world to give birth to the God-Transforming Heavenly Lord.
Because neither Da Kun in the previous life nor Da Qing in this life had fifth-level spiritual veins.
Master Shixianzi turned her eyes and smiled:
"Friend Lu Dao, don't worry too much. According to the speculation of the recorder in the jade book, the pursuer is not the true form of the God-Transforming Heavenly Lord, but should be a clone of the God-Transforming Heavenly Lord. Moreover, after so many years, it is difficult to say whether the God-Transforming Heavenly Lord is still alive.
