After leaving Jinyun Valley, Lu Changan really went out to visit friends.
Riding on a turtle, we left little footprints in Feiyue Lake, the former Zhuyeshanfang City, and Wuqi Mountain.
However, he did not stay long in each place.
On this day, Lu Changan arrived at Huanglong Fairy City on a dark green turtle that was three feet wide.
"Evergreen Master!"
"Second-level late-stage black turtle mount!"
In front of the Huanglong Immortal City, a giant turtle riding on the waves and piercing the sky carries the immortal Chang Qing, who has emerged from the world with grace and elegance.
Such a scene makes many casual cultivators in Huanglong Fairy City feel yearning, awe and worship.
"Zhenren Lu is also a casual cultivator from Huanglong Fairy City. He once built a foundation in the city..."
Some senior monks in Huanglong Immortal City were proud of themselves and told those who came after them about the deeds of the Oogway Talisman Master back then.
Entering Huanglong Immortal City, Lu Changan met with several Zhendan, including the person in charge of the place and the city lord, and exchanged pleasantries.
Lu Changan became the guest elder of Jinyun Valley, and now he is no longer solicited by all parties when he goes out.
Monks of the same rank call him Master Lu, or Elder Lu.
During the two years of waiting in Jinyun Valley, Lu Changan often fed the Xuan Shui Turtle with the power of Evergreen Pill, and the latter finally reached the late second level.
The unusual growth rate of the Black Water Turtle naturally attracts the attention of interested people.
But those aspiring monks didn't dare to think anything about the now lofty Master Chang Qing.
Lu Changan is not only a third-level great talisman master and true elixir cultivator, but also an elder of the sect.
Lu Changan rented a third-level cave in Huanglong Mountain.
After nightfall.
A hooded man in a gray robe emerged from the shadows of the cave.
"Mr. Lu, this is the information you need."
Xing Peng handed over a jade slip.
Lu Changan's spiritual consciousness is checked.
Among the intelligence, there is war intelligence about the invasion of demons.
Although the intelligence does not involve the secrets of high-level demons, it can allow Lu Changan to understand the real war situation.
In order to stabilize people's hearts, the Wealth Alliance concealed some war information.
In the past two years, the Beast King Valley, one of the six sects of the Demonic Path, has continued to gather monks.
The two sides still focused on small-scale testing and confrontations between scouting monks.
"Has Wu Jian Sect launched an assassination plan against monks from various countries in the Guardian Alliance?"
Lu Changan thought of the reminder from Sect Master Jin Yun and couldn't help but ask one more question.
"Indeed! For some key figures, the Infernal Affairs Branch will implement assassination plans."
Xing Peng replied.
"However, the death of some monks was not caused by Wu Jian Sect. We mainly focus on lurking and instigating rebellion. We will not take action easily if we are not more than 90% sure."
Wu Jian Sect kills key figures, either to reduce the strength of the Guardian Alliance, or to escalate the hatred and conflicts among the major cultivating forces and trigger civil strife.
Creating chaos and disrupting the alliance of forces from various countries is the real purpose of Wujianmen.
"Is Mr. Lu involved in the assassination plan?" Lu Changan asked curiously.
"This involves the secrets of the branch, so I don't know. But judging from Xing's experience, Master Lu is just a guest of the sect, and he will not be on the assassination list of key figures."
"Furthermore, Mr. Lu, according to the intelligence, you are very capable of saving your life, and you are steady and alert. There is no need for Wujianmen to take the risk of exposure and assassinate you."
"Ah That's good."
Lu Changan had an idea in his mind, should he bet on both sides?
If the Defending Alliance is defeated in the future, can I sneak into the Wujian Sect and become a member of the Six Demonic Sects?
However, it is difficult to gain the trust of the Six Demonic Sects by stabbing one's own monks without handing over the certificate.
Doing something like that goes against Lu Changan's true intentions.
Moreover, compared to the neutral and lawful side of the Guardian Alliance, the Six Demonic Sects are more domineering, cunning, and have no integrity at all.
…
Three days later, Lu Changan collected a rare monster skin in Huanglong Fairy City to refine special talismans.
There was none in the city, so he gathered his magic power and flew to the Black Mist Mountains in the north, and soon disappeared.
Half a month later.
A young man in blue clothes, riding a flying boat, appeared on the southern border of Liang Kingdom.
The mana fluctuations in his body seemed to have reached the peak of the late stage of foundation building.
The young man in blue in front of him is Nie Yuan, the inner disciple of Lihuo Palace who once escaped.
Nie Yuan has a high-grade spiritual root and a strong enterprising spirit. Due to his ordinary background, he is only one step away from becoming a true disciple in Lihuo Palace.
Among the identities collected by Lu Changan, this one has the highest qualifications and potential.
"Wangyue Fairy City is located on the border between Liang Kingdom and Feng Kingdom. It is in the south of Liang Kingdom, slightly to the east..."
During the flight, Lu Changan occasionally checked the map and reviewed the information about Wangyue Fairy City.
Wangyue Immortal City can be called a pure land in troubled times. As long as there are spiritual stones, they can be accepted regardless of their identity and origin.
Even wanted criminals from the surrounding areas will be protected when entering Wangyue City.
It is said that the background of Wangyue Fairy City comes from the central region of Daqing and has existed for more than tens of thousands of years.
"Wangyue Immortal City is indeed safe and has a good reputation. In the past few hundred years, there have been many monks from various countries who have formed elixirs here. Among them, there are many who have formed upstream true elixirs, and there are also one or two examples of those who have formed golden elixirs."
"However, the level of Wangyue Immortal City is high, and the calamity cultivators that exist around it are far stronger than those in the border areas between other cultivating kingdoms."
Lu Changan knew that there were two worlds inside and outside Wangyue City.
Precisely because of the high risk, Lu Changan heard rumors about Wang Yue in his early years but did not consider it.
…
A few days later.
The young man in blue drove the flying boat and entered the 1,000-mile radius of Wangyue Fairy City.
On the way, I met very few monks.
Whenever you encounter one, there will be no weak opponent, either it is the real person who is forming the core, or it is the later stage of foundation building where many people are working together.
The young man in blue looked around warily, seeming to notice something.
"Jie Jie... finally found a lone foundation building!"
From the cave at the foot, three monks flying out with evil spirits flew out.
The man in iron clothes who took the lead was a fake alchemy practitioner, and his two subordinates were both in the late stages of foundation building.
The words were not spoken yet.
The three people waved the formation flags, and the surrounding void twisted, activating the temporary masking phantom formation.
In an instant, Lu Changan and the three men in iron clothes fell into a world of ice and snow.
Cover the phantom formation to isolate mana fluctuations and fighting noises, so as not to attract outside attention and allow others to take advantage of you.
"The monks in front of you said the same thing."
Lu Changan's voice turned cold, and he folded his sleeves and put his hands behind his back.
"No! There's something wrong with this kid..."
The man in iron clothes changed his face and realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
It was like a sharp whistling sound from grinding teeth, ringing in my ears.
hiss!
The sea of consciousness suddenly stung, as if being stabbed by a sharp knife, almost making him unconscious.
His instinctive body-protecting shield reflected a vague and dark nail-headed arrow in his pupils, its tip flashing with a silver-blue cold light.
"Boss!"
The two subordinates who were in the late stage of foundation building were horrified and lost their voices.
When they made a sound, the shadow of a nail-headed arrow passed over the head of the man in iron clothing, bringing out a bloody beam of light.
"Zhendan monk, run quickly!"
The two late-stage foundation builders froze in their steps, and there was a harsh buzzing in their minds, and their consciousness immediately fell into darkness.
"A magic weapon with mind attack and concealment properties makes it easier to abuse people."
Lu Changan smiled and waved, putting the nail-head arrow into his sleeve.
The fake elixir master can control low-grade magic weapons, and two or three people can join forces to compete with the real elixir in its early stage.
Ordinarily, in the early stage of a true elixir, killing a fake elixir requires a little effort and cannot be done instantly.
The nail-head arrow is at least the best among medium-grade magic weapons.
Controlling this treasure consumes a lot of spiritual consciousness, especially when it is equipped with mental attacks.
Even if Lu Changan is promoted to the middle stage of pill formation, he may not be able to exert the full power of the nail-headed arrow.
Squeak!
In a few breaths, the rock rat collected the loot and destroyed the corpses.
Lu Changan put away the quasi-third-order phantom formation and continued to approach Wangyue Immortal City as Nie Yuan.
It's not that Lu Changan deliberately pretended to be a pig and eat the tiger.
He also considered using his true elixir cultivation to go straight to Wangyue Immortal City.
But this leaves a loophole.
Entering the city as a true elixir cultivator will leave a record. At that time, you will have to 'switch' to Nie Yuan's identity when entering the city.
If the changed identity keeps a low profile and doesn't do anything, it doesn't matter.
But later on, as Nie Yuan, he wanted to attack the elixir formation and achieve at least half-step of the golden elixir.
At that time, the formation of pills will be astonishing and will definitely attract the attention of interested people.
After a little investigation, you will find that Nie Yuan has no trace of entering or leaving Wangyue Fairy City at all.
At the same time, another True Pill cultivator disappeared out of thin air in the city.
In this case, there are too many doubts.
…
"Wangyue Immortal City is a pure land, and the surrounding area is indeed quite chaotic. I heard that there are even true elixir cultivators here."
Lu Changan flew forward several hundred miles and sensed the fluctuations of the fighting technique.
"Hand over the pill-forming thing and let you have a way out!"
"Ting'er, mother-in-law, stop these two thieves! Go to Wangyue Fairy City quickly. As long as you are within a hundred miles, you can see the law enforcement monks..."
A few miles away, two female cultivators, one old and one young, were being hunted down by two fake alchemy cultivators.
The elder among them is a gray-haired old woman with fake elixir cultivation.
The old woman turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood, which fell onto the dancing black silk magic weapon.
call!
Nearly ten feet of black silk, swirling in the black wind, lit up red-blooded fireworks, like a dragon, blocking the two fake elixir masters.
The old woman had lost her essence, blood and vitality, and the power of the magic weapon was approaching the early stage of the true elixir.
"Grandma!"
Behind the old woman, a female cultivator with beautiful eyebrows and a graceful figure in a gauze skirt looked unbearable, her eyes flickered, biting her lip line, and flew resolutely in the direction of Wangyue Fairy City.
Seeing this woman approaching, Lu Changan cautiously took out a prototype of a magic weapon.
In the sect, those who are at the advanced stage of foundation building have magical power and spiritual consciousness that are beyond the same level. They can control magic weapons and have the ability to fight against fake elixirs.
"This fellow Taoist, can you help me a little bit?"
Seeing the majestic young man in blue offering the prototype of the magic weapon, the female cultivator in the gauze skirt lit up her eyes and begged:
"My little girl Zhu Yuting, a monk from Hengguo Qinglong City, if I can rescue my grandma, I will definitely be richly rewarded in the future!"
Lu Changan controlled the prototype of the magic weapon and carefully kept his distance.
He looked at the fake old woman on the other side. She was seriously injured and was trying her best. It didn't look like a trap.
"snort!"
A cold snort came from Jiugang Heaven, accompanied by the spiritual pressure of the Zhendan monk.
"withdraw!"
The expressions of the two fake alchemy cultivators changed, and they took up the escape light and fled.
"Thank you, senior, for the rescue."
Zhu Yuting looked respectful and bowed towards the clouds.
In Jiugang Heaven, the aura of the True Alchemy cultivator did not stay and flew to Wangyue Immortal City.
Apparently, the True Alchemy cultivator just passed by and yelled at him to retreat from the calamity cultivator.
"There are still some good people in the world of immortality."
Seeing this, Lu Changan put away the prototype of the magic weapon.
"Grandma, are you okay?"
Zhu Yuting flew over and supported the injured white-haired old woman.
"It's nothing serious."
The white-haired old woman took a few pills and called to Lu Changan who was about to leave on the other side.
"This little friend, can we go with you? We are still two to three hundred miles away from Wangyue Fairy City. Together we can repel the ordinary calamity cultivators."
The white-haired old woman gave her a kind smile.
"good."
Lu Changan was sure that the two of them were not Jie Cultivators and nodded in agreement.
It is indeed safer to follow the real person False Dan, three of them, and save some trouble.
The old woman Fake Dan was seriously injured and her energy was depleted. She wanted to recruit a strong hand and hug each other for warmth.
…
Both parties took what they needed, and the three of them flew to Wangyue Fairy City in a team.
After talking, Lu Changan learned the identities of the two.
The fake Dan old woman, whose surname is Yan, took the initiative to talk to Lu Changan, and was pleasant-looking, without the airs of the real person.
In contrast, her granddaughter Zhu Yuting is lukewarm towards Lu Changan.
Perhaps because Lu Changan had not rescued him before, Zhu Yuting had a bad feeling for him.
Zhu Yuting was born with a beautiful face, as elegant as a fairy. After she was out of danger, she had a vaguely cold and reserved demeanor.
Lu Changan sensed that this woman had reached the peak of the ninth level of foundation building and was still relatively young.
It was expected that she was the proud daughter of a medium-sized immortal cultivating force. She had a good talent and was cultivated by her elders. She was the dream fairy admired by male cultivators of her generation.
"Young friend Nie, he is actually a high disciple of Lihuo Palace. How disrespectful and disrespectful."
After learning the identity of the young man in blue, Granny Yan became much more enthusiastic.
Granny Yan sent a message asking Zhu Yuting to get acquainted with Lu Changan, and they might be the best among people.
The monk in the late stage of foundation building went to Wangyue Immortal City alone. When he got to this place, he might have the strength to compete with the fake elixir.
"Lihuo Palace? A down-and-out person who destroyed the Yuanying Sect, why should I be so friendly with you?"
Zhu Yuting disagreed. Although she knew that "Nie Yuan" was extraordinary, she couldn't lose face.
Furthermore, with her qualifications, there is some hope of forming a true elixir. There is no need to please a foundation-building monk who has destroyed the sect.
Maybe there's strength in numbers.
The rest of the journey went smoothly without any disasters.
A light blue spar fairy city came into view of the three people.
At first glance, it looks like a pearl of the moon embedded in the wasteland.
A hundred miles into Wangyue Immortal City, you can already see the Immortal City law enforcement monks patrolling the surrounding area.
All three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
One hundred miles into Wangyue Fairy City, we are considered to be in a safe zone.
Lu Changan secretly thought that his luck was not too bad, but he had encountered fake elixir-level calamity cultivators twice.
Looking at the scale of Wangyue Fairy City, it is similar to Huanglong, covering an area of several hundred miles.
Before he got close, Lu Changan sensed the strong spiritual pressure transmitted by the fourth-order spiritual veins.
Wangyue Immortal City is shrouded by a fourth-level mid-level formation.
Even if two Nascent Soul sects join forces, it will be difficult to conquer.
Entering the city was smoother than Lu Changan imagined.
Each person paid a thousand spirit stones and received an order to enter the city. They simply wrote down a name.
Don't ask any questions about your identity.
In order to limit the flow of people, the entrance threshold to Wangyue Fairy City is one thousand spirit stones.
Staying at an inn in the city costs ten to fifty spiritual stones per day.
The "guaranteed consumption" of one thousand spirit stones only lasts for a few dozen days.
Lu Changan can understand this "current restriction" method. Otherwise, this place will become a holy place for low-level casual cultivators and wanted persons from various countries.
Wangyue Immortal City focuses on high-end, if the number of middle and low-level monks is too large, even the fourth-level spiritual veins cannot bear it.
…
"Wangyue Immortal City mainly serves middle- and high-level monks. Whether purchasing supplies or participating in auctions... as long as it does not violate the order of the city, I will not ask about your identity."
"Even if you want to impact the pill formation, you only need to pay the spirit stone, and there is no need to go through identity verification."
Granny Yan has been to Wangyue Fairy City before and introduced the basic situation of the city to Lu Changan and Zhu Yuting.
After walking around the city for a while, Lu Changan discovered that the inconspicuous shops here were considered high-end shops in all the major fairy cities in Liang Kingdom.
The various items for sale are also more expensive than those in the Immortal City of Liang Kingdom. Certain scarce resources cannot be purchased with spirit stones and must be traded for items of the same level.
It is said that even some Nascent Soul level resources can be purchased here.
Those higher circles are beyond the reach of Lu Changan and others.
That night, the three of them checked into an inn in the city.
The inn in Wangyue Fairy City has a spiritual vein environment of up to quasi-third level.
The cultivation environment for third-level spiritual veins requires renting a cave, which will be more expensive.
"Someone formed a pill..."
That night, Lu Changan and the three of them had feelings.
The Moon-watching Fairy City at night, with its crystal stone walls glowing with dim moonlight, looks like a fairy city in a dream.
At this moment, in the central area of Immortal City, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged, converging towards a certain third-level cave.
The local monks in the fairy city were not surprised by this.
Wangyue Immortal City is open to many surrounding immortal kingdoms and is not limited to a certain place.
Therefore, monks come here to take elixirs almost every year.
Theoretically speaking, even if there is no crystal-condensing elixir, elixir-forming spiritual objects can also condense elixirs.
Although there are many people who try to form elixirs, only a few can succeed, and most of them still form false elixirs.
Lu Changan watched the Danjie weather from a distance and couldn't help but shake his head.
…
The next day.
Under the guidance of Granny Yan, Lu Changan and Zhu Yuting went to the main hall in the center of the fairy city.
I paid the spirit stone and received a token that allowed me to form an elixir.
The cost of spiritual stones is also 30% higher than that of Liang Guo's Immortal City.
"I really don't care about my identity."
Lu Changan looked surprised when he got the token.
There is no censorship throughout the entire process.
Pay the spirit stone to redeem the token.
Even if you let someone else do it for you, that's fine.
"Little friend Nie, I will take Yu Ting to settle in the third-level cave first and prepare to form elixirs."
After receiving the token.
Granny Yan said goodbye to Lu Changan, smiled kindly, and flew to the central area of Fairy City with Zhu Yuting.
Lu Changan was in no hurry to settle in the third-level cave.
First, familiarize yourself with the internal situation of Wangyue Fairy City, the distribution of forces, and the surrounding situation.
Although pill formation is important, your own safety and retreat must be clearly planned.
A few days later.
The alchemy atmosphere in the distant sky is still continuing, but the gathering clouds of spiritual energy are loose and erratic, less than half a mile away, as if they are about to collapse at any time.
At this time, Lu Changan basically figured out most of the situation in Wangyue Immortal City.
All properties in Wangyue Fairy City, including large and small shops, are owned by the government.
Foreign monks are prohibited from operating business here.
The official background is very mysterious, and it is not a force from the Daqing East Region.
Because of its good reputation, regardless of identity and origin, it is allowed to build foundations, condense elixirs, and even form babies to survive tribulations here.
Even though the consumption is quite high, monks with non-Nascent Soul power backgrounds from many surrounding countries flock to it.
From the inside to the outside, the fairy city is divided into the fourth-order spiritual vein area, the third-order spiritual vein area, and the second-order spiritual vein area.
The inns where we stayed were all in the second-level spiritual vein area, which was considered the outskirts of the Immortal City.
Different areas serve different groups.
The real Lord Nascent Soul from outside went to the fourth level spiritual vein area to practice and settle down, and made transactions with the Nascent Soul of Wangyue Fairy City.
The third-level spiritual vein area is the main area open to the outside world in Wangyue Immortal City.
Huh!
Lu Changan looked in the direction of the third-order spiritual vein area again.
In the distant sky, there is another scene of pill formation.
Lu Changan didn't need to guess, it was probably Zhu Yuting who was forming the elixir.
Before leaving, Lu Changan felt that the mother-in-law and grandson wanted to complete the pill formation as soon as possible.
"Both of them formed elixirs at the same time..."
This was the first time in this life that Lu Changan saw such a scene.
For two foundation-building monks to form elixirs at the same time, it is just a meaning to the high-level fairy city where the fourth-level spiritual veins are located.
The third-order spiritual veins in the city are just multiple branches of the fourth-order spiritual veins.
The two alchemy formations were located ten miles apart in the caves, so there was basically no impact.
…
Lu Changan did not rush to join Danjie, but entered the Xuanji Bookstore in the city.
In this bookstore, in addition to the inheritance and sale of common exercises, there are also some ancient classics involving various secrets in the world of immortality for people to consult.
There are many ancient books of this kind on the upper three floors of Xuanji Pavilion. They are not advanced secret techniques, but just rumors and records that have been passed down to this day in the world of immortality.
Some have been verified and have factual basis, while some are simply legends.
You can check out ancient books here for a fee per volume.
"Xuan Tian's secret biography?"
Lu Changan consulted more than a dozen ancient books that he was interested in, and finally found relevant records about Xuanmu Gourd Vine.
"The Xuantian Treasure, a companion to the opening of the world, contains a little of the origin of the world, breeds the power of corresponding laws, and has the effect of suppressing luck..."
"Different interfaces produce different Xuantian objects. Those born from the high-level interface are called Da Xuantian, and those born from the ordinary interface are called Little Xuantian..."
Lu Changan suppressed the shock in his heart and wrote down the information.
He put the ancient books back to their original places carelessly, and picked up another ancient book with records about true spirits and mythical beasts.
Based on the information in ancient books, it is speculated that the section of gourd vine that Lu Changan obtained, and the "Xuantian Gourd" that once gave birth to it, should be the Xuantian treasure.
More like the Xiao Xuantian described in it.
Because it is described in ancient books: Da Xuantian has great appeal to top monks in the Hedao stage, Mahayana stage, and even legendary true spirits.
Lu Changan has been cultivating immortals for several generations, but has never even seen a god. In the Tianheng Continent, since ancient times, there has never been any trace of existence beyond returning to the void.
It can be inferred from this that the human world where Tianyan Continent is located is not a high-level interface.
But even Little Xuantian, according to the records in the book, is an existence far beyond ordinary spiritual treasures. In theory, it has the potential to grow into Da Xuantian.
In addition, there is an inaccurate speculation in ancient books:
Possessing the Xuantian Treasure in the human world is equivalent to mastering the secret key to ascending to a higher world.
"It turns out that the dead little gourd prototype on the Xuantian is an uncultivated Xuantian relic."
Lu Changan sighed secretly, feeling lost.
Xuantian's objects involve the laws of a realm. Even the relics of Little Xuantian are beyond common sense.
No wonder the Earth Rock Rat formed an elixir at that time, which exceeded expectations, and the real elixir contained the Taoist charm of the golden elixir.
"That's all, I learned that I was lucky enough to lose my life. After three transformations into gold, I no longer have any worries about my lifespan, so I can try again."
Lu Changan's mood soon returned to calm.
…
Get out of the Xuanji Bookstore.
Lu Changan suddenly felt something and looked towards the third-order spiritual vein area.
One of the elixir-forming atmospheres suddenly collapsed and dispersed, causing a burst of chaos in the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth.
The elixir formation failed!
Lu Changan judged that he was the first person to form an elixir and failed midway.
Judging from the weather of elixir formation, the backlash is strong, and those who form elixirs are likely to die.
He no longer hesitated, took the flying boat, and arrived at the third-level spiritual vein area.
Holding the alchemy token in hand, Lu Changan chose a relatively remote third-level cave.
