After sending Xie Wuji away, Lu Changan's attention returned to Xuantian Gourd Vine.
After all, 144 years of life were invested in it.
After two months of observation, Lu Changan discovered that the natural restoration speed of Xuantian Gourd Vine to its green color was more than twice as fast as before!
Even if Lu Changan does not sacrifice his lifespan, but uses Evergreen Gong to nourish and cultivate it every day, Xuantian Gourd Vine can regain its full green color within a thousand years.
This is measured based on the early stage of the Golden Elixir.
In the middle and late stages of Golden Elixir, this natural recovery speed can be accelerated a lot.
If you advance to the Nascent Soul stage, you may be able to shorten your time significantly.
If you don't want to live long, just relying on time, maybe a few hundred years will be enough.
In addition, Lu Changan identified a phenomenon:
After the last sacrifice of a hundred years of longevity, the prototype of the gourd fruit on the mysterious vine further rotted and turned black, and the aura of death became stronger and stronger.
Lu Changan remembered an inaccurate legendary record in "The Secret of Xuantian".
No matter Xiao Xuantian or Da Xuantian, after the birth of the interface, they are all unique treasures.
When a Xuantian treasure exists or is in a state of growth, even if there are carriers for cultivation elsewhere, the same Xuantian cannot be born.
So, Lu Changan called the Black Water Turtle over and assigned it a task.
"When this dead prototype of gourd fruit will wither, you must tell me as soon as possible."
Hear the master's instructions.
The Xuan Shui Turtle opened its big watery green eyes, with a simple and dull expression, stretched out its huge head, moved it up and down, and "nodded" in agreement.
Lu Changan sighed, as the Xuan Shui Turtle grew up, it was not as cute as when it was a child.
This turtle likes to be quiet and does not move much, and is quite honest and honest.
…
As Xuantian Gourd Vine took root, Lu Changan lived a stable life of practice in Jinyun Valley.
There are not that many materials for third-level talismans, so Lu Changan's task of drawing and making the talismans is relatively easy.
Elder Keqing's other responsibilities include managing some minor logistics supplies and occasionally giving guidance to the talisman masters within the sect.
At the early stage of Jindan cultivation, Lu Changan only needs to practice for one or two hours every day.
Beyond the time, there will be no progress in cultivation.
The age limit of the Evergreen Kung Fu still exists after the elixir is formed.
However, Lu Changan's cultivation speed in the early stages of forming pills was not too slow.
"With the current progress of cultivation, it will take about a month to reach the peak of the early stage of pill formation."
This is the approximate time that Lu Changan guessed after stabilizing his cultivation.
Among Danjie monks, it is considered a normal speed, neither too slow nor too fast.
It’s similar to Lu Changan’s previous life.
In his previous life, he had a top-grade spiritual root that formed a middle-grade true elixir.
After experiencing the slow speed of Qi refining and foundation building, Lu Changan readily accepted this.
He estimated that there would be some benefit after forming the golden elixir.
Moreover, it is easier for the golden elixir to impact the small realm of the elixir formation stage and it will not stay in the bottleneck period for long.
For alchemy monks, the quality of the alchemy is the biggest factor in measuring the potential of the body.
At this stage, Lu Changan no longer needs to use Evergreen Gong to measure his foundation. Golden elixir is the best Tao foundation.
Most of the monks at this level practice high-level techniques and have extraordinary inheritance.
The current additional advantage of Evergreen Kung Fu is that it has a good mood, which is better than most Kung Fu techniques.
The blessing of the state of mind is also a characteristic of many health-preserving skills.
This is achieved at the expense of the ability to fight.
In addition to the Evergreen Kung Fu, Lu Changan has not slackened in any aspects of physical training and cultivation.
This is the use of spare time.
There are very few people who have accomplished something in the world of immortality as well as physical cultivation.
Time and energy, resources and materials, physical training talents, and many other restrictions.
Lu Changan and above are all lacking.
So much so that the progress of training in the "Hundred Forging King Kong" has obviously surpassed that of the Evergreen Skill.
He has more than 400,000 light spirit stones on his body.
More than half of them come from Master Lihuo's storage ring.
The rest are harvests in recent years, most of them are gifts received from many pill formations, and part of them are sold into spiritual stones.
With sufficient financial resources, Lu Changan has no shortage of medicinal bath materials for body training.
For other practitioners, if they practice for more than two hours a day, their bodies will be exhausted, overloaded, and easily damaged.
Lu Changan has great endurance, strong recovery power and does not get tired easily.
Even if you are not careful and your body is damaged due to wear and tear during practice, you can treat it promptly with the power of Evergreen, so you don’t have to worry about the sequelae.
Lu Changan tempered his body, which not only lasted longer, but also made him bolder, so his efficiency was naturally higher.
"If there is no external cause of the demonic invasion, it would not be a bad idea to stay in Jinyun Valley for a hundred or two hundred years and cultivate to the peak of the late Jindan period..."
Lu Changan hopes that the Wei Dao Alliance can resist the invasion of demons and buy himself more time to practice.
As an immortal golden elixir, as long as you reach the middle stage of elixir formation, you will be a strong person among real people, and your strength will continue to double.
If you have cultivated to the late stage of Golden Elixir, you will hardly be able to meet your opponent under Nascent Soul.
The best among them even have the ability to save their lives and escape when faced with True Monarch Nascent Soul.
…
On this day, Lu Changan finished his routine training, including the cultivation of treasure talismans.
After the golden elixir is formed, the nurturing effect of the treasure talisman increases by several percent.
Lu Changan speculated that in the next hundred years or so, there would be a chance to breed a fourth-level powerful talisman.
The eight best-quality talismans in his hand are made from third-grade high-quality ghost bamboo.
The two highest-grade ones are the foundation for the third-grade high-grade ones.
The remaining six cards are basically high-quality products in the third-level mid-level.
After being promoted to the Golden Elixir, Lu Changan cultivated third-level and lower-level treasure talismans, and the results were stable and visible.
Especially the third-level low-grade basic treasure talisman has the best accumulation effect. It is expected that it will be upgraded to the third-level mid-grade in about thirty years.
The incomplete treasure talisman inheritance from the previous life has been studied by Lu Changan for hundreds of years in this life to supplement and improve it.
On this basis, combined with the specialness of Evergreen Kung Fu, good achievements have been achieved.
However, the inheritance of treasure talismans is limited to the third level.
Lu Changan could only make third-level treasure talismans, and those above were lost.
Collect more than sixty treasure talismans.
Lu Changan suddenly felt something and took out the elder token from the storage bag.
Token flows white shimmer.
Lu Changan touched his palm to obtain the content of the subpoena.
"Elder Lu, please come to the sect master's hall."
It was a message from Jin Yun Sect Master Xuan Xiao.
This method of communication is mainly controlled by senior sects in the Liang Kingdom's immortal world, and the cost is very high.
The communication distance is also limited.
Usually between a few hundred miles or a thousand miles.
Jinyun Valley has set up hidden relay formations in its territory of influence to expand the communication range.
Therefore, as long as they are within the Jinyun Valley's sphere of influence, senior elders can communicate and send simple messages.
Lu Changan did not hesitate and flew directly to the sect master's palace.
…
"Elder Lu, please read this information."
Sect Master Jin Yun had no expression on his face, and with a flick of his finger, a jade slip fell into Lu Changan's hand.
"Xie Wuji... disappeared and died!"
After checking the information in the jade slips, Lu Changan was a little confused.
Caught off guard!
Before he took action... Xie Wuji died mysteriously?
Lu Changan secretly remembered Xie Wuji's threats and persecutions.
His original plan was to wait until the demons invaded and the Xie family of Chen State fell, and then find an opportunity to take revenge in the future.
The Chen State is located at the front line of the demonic invasion, and the power of the Xie family and the Tianluo Sect will inevitably be damaged, and may even be in danger of being destroyed.
If nothing else works, wait until you reach the middle or late stage of Golden Elixir cultivation, use the True Fire Condensation to sacrifice the "nail-headed arrow" for dozens or even hundreds of years, then secretly ambush this person and nail him to death with one arrow!
The plan failed to keep up with the change, and the man died unexpectedly.
"The information came from Chen Guo. It happened about two months ago! Before that, Xie had concealed the news of Xie Wuji's death and investigated it privately..."
Sect Master Jinyun said in a deep voice.
"Two months ago?"
Lu Changan's expression changed slightly.
At that point in time, it was exactly what happened after Xie Wuji questioned him and scolded each other.
"After the Chen Guo Xie investigation, what did you say about this?"
Lu Changan has realized something.
"The Chen Guo Xie family claimed that Lu Zhenren was the key suspect and colluded with Xuanyin Sect or Wujian Sect to kill Xie Wuji."
Sect Leader Jin Yun glanced at Lu Changan with a strange expression.
Lu Changan has not left Jinyun Valley in the past two months, and he knows it very well.
"How unreasonable! The Xie family of Chen Guo has eyes like blindness and wrongfully accuses a good person!"
Lu Changan couldn't help but be annoyed and scolded angrily.
He actually took the blame for no reason?
Lu Changan was sure that although he had murderous intentions, he really didn't take action.
In the short term, Lu Changan is unwilling to provoke the Xie family of Chen Guo who has the Nascent Soul monster.
The verbal conflict with Xie Wuji was just an act by both parties to expose the matter.
Xie Wuji left with his front foot and went to kill someone with his back foot. This was too childish and his motive was too obvious.
Even if Lu Changan really had the ability to contact the masters of the Demon Cult or the Wujian Sect, it would still be a bit hasty and there would be no time.
"Master Lu, don't worry. I believe this matter has nothing to do with you, and the Xie family doesn't have any convincing evidence."
Sect Master Jin Yun comforted him.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lu Changan was probably wrongly accused and is unlikely to be the murderer.
First, Lu Changan has just entered the stage of forming pills, and it is difficult to threaten the veteran masters who are at the peak of the stage of forming pills.
He must be far stronger than Xie Wuji in order to kill him without leaving any clues or traces.
Secondly, Lu Changan has a good reputation for his character and does not like fighting. He was in Jinyun Valley when the incident occurred, and there is evidence of alibi.
Xie regarded Lu Changan as a suspect because there were no other clues except him.
All I know is that he died in the wasteland on the border back to Chen State.
Before Xie Wuji died, he had a verbal conflict with Lu Changan. This was the only visible breakthrough.
Even if it is a mundane murder case, people who had a bad relationship with the deceased are also targets of investigation and suspicion.
"The Taihu Xie family of Chen State is overbearing and overbearing, and has offended countless enemies. If the real culprit cannot be found, his face will be dull, so he will use an honest man as a cover."
There was ridicule in Lu Changan's tone.
After thinking briefly, he roughly guessed Xie's intention.
Mr. Xie, the real suspect should be the Wujian Sect or the Xuanyin Sect.
As the war began, Wujianmen launched some assassination plans.
Liang Shaotian, the leader of the Xuanyin Sect, has the ability to easily kill Xie Wuji without leaving any trace.
If Lu Changan is captured as a suspect, no matter what the outcome is, there will be at least two benefits.
First, there is an explanation both internally and externally.
Secondly, the teacher became famous, prompting Xia Wenyue to plead for mercy.
"Master Lu, you are the elder of Jinyun Valley. Without irrefutable proof, even Chen Guotian Luo Sect cannot touch you in the slightest!"
Sect Leader Jin Yun's understatement contained a powerful persuasiveness.
Lu Changan immediately thanked him and expressed his loyalty.
As long as Jinyun Valley protects them, Chen Guo's Xie clan is beyond their reach and can hardly threaten the sect elders of other countries.
What's more, the Liang State, dominated by the Jinyang Sect, is stronger than the Chen State.
Jinyun Valley now belongs to the Jinyang Sect camp.
If you dare to take action against the Liang Guo sect, you don't take the Jinyang sect seriously.
Even if Lu Changan is a weaker elder of the Jing State sect, as long as the sect is willing to protect it and has a tough attitude, the Chen Guo Xie family may not be able to do anything.
A powerful country that cultivates immortals may not be able to bully the sects of a weak country at will.
There is also an "international situation" in the world of immortality, especially when the Six Demonic Sects invade.
…
Back in the cave, Lu Changan looked calm.
This is the first time in this life that I have been framed and blamed.
Who killed Xie Wuji was the next best thing.
Lu Changan even wanted to thank the other party for avenging him.
The hateful thing is the Xie family of Chen Guo!
Even though he knew that he was probably not the murderer, he still claimed that he was the key suspect.
"Lu will never leave Jinyun Valley's sphere of influence from now on. What can you do to me?"
Lu Changan sneered and made up his mind.
After forming the golden elixir, as long as the external situation does not affect him, he would rather stay in seclusion for a period of time and hit the middle stage of elixir formation.
He has a long life and is patient enough.
"It's strange, Xing Peng has not been in contact in recent months."
Lu Changan sat down to drink tea and soon noticed something unusual.
Near Jinyun Valley, he had a special contact with Xing Peng.
Xing Peng obtained a suitable identity and became an outer disciple of Jinyun Valley.
The outer disciple died during the sect's mission, and was replaced by Xing Peng as the "Green Face" of Wujian Sect.
If Lu Changan is in Jinyun Valley, Xing Peng may not meet him, but he will pass on information to him every once in a while.
The encrypted information will be retrieved by the Earth Rock Rat.
A few days later.
Xing Peng finally got in touch with Lu Changan.
As a guest elder, Lu Changan was outside checking the logistics supplies under his jurisdiction.
Communicate with the outer disciples disguised by Xing Peng through spiritual consciousness.
"Mr. Lu, some time ago, I received an order from above to temporarily suspend my tracking mission for you."
Xing Peng reported in his mind through Lu Changan's spiritual consciousness.
"Later, I learned that a master from the Wujian Sect assassinated Xie Wuji."
"The person who assassinated me may be my cousin 'Jueying Altar Master'. Soon, he will be promoted to the sub-ruler of Jing Kingdom."
"Master Jueying?"
Lu Changan remembered that there was no sub-rudder of Wujian Sect in Jing State. Previously, the sub-ruler of Liang State held the concurrent post, and there were only three altar leaders.
"With the rise of the Xuanyin Sect, Liang Shaotian was promoted to the late stage of Dan Jie faster than expected, and the Holy Sect improved its assessment of the Jing Kingdom."
"My cousin has reached the peak of the mid-stage pill formation. His strength is considered top among many altar leaders, and he is appreciated by the upper echelons of the Holy Sect. This assassination should be an assessment for him."
After Xing Penghui finished reporting honestly.
Then, he apologized to Lu Changan:
"It was a small negligence and failure to understand the situation in advance, which made Mr. Lu suffer an injustice."
"The last action was a decision made by the top management of Wujianmen and has nothing to do with your ability."
Lu Changan did not hold him accountable, but he would search Xing Peng's soul afterwards to confirm his loyalty.
The real culprit is Wu Jianmen, and the situation becomes clear.
Xie Wuji, as a direct lineage of the Xie family’s True Alchemy cultivator, the elder of Tianluo Sect, and Xia Wenyue’s biological father.
This is definitely a key figure.
After killing him, the Chen Guo Xie family, the Demon Sect, Jinyun Valley, and Aoyue Palace were all involved.
Xia Wenyue, who is in the Proud Moon Palace, will also be distracted.
Lu Changan, who was wrongly accused, would definitely hate the Xie family of Chen Guo.
According to Wu Jian Sect's intelligence, Lu Changan is by no means an ordinary true elixir cultivator.
"To disrupt the situation and cause the major forces of the Wei Dao Alliance to internally fight, this is exactly the purpose of Wu Jian Sect."
Lu Changan felt at ease.
It was only a matter of time before I took the blame this time.
Just in line with that sentence:
Hunting geese all day long, only to be pecked by geese.
Fortunately, Lu Changan knows who made him take the blame and will one day regain his place.
…
That night.
Lu Changan took advantage of the fact that the second-life possession had not disappeared and searched for Xing Peng's soul.
The old man with white beard and the mysterious peak of pill formation appeared behind the scenes.
Lu Changan searched through the shallow memories of nearly a year, so that it would not easily hurt Xing Peng's consciousness.
Xing Peng took the initiative to cooperate to show his loyalty and did not betray Lu Changan.
After searching the soul, Lu Changan strengthened the restrictions on his consciousness sea.
Through the ban on Gu insects of Baisu Soul Gu, Lu Changan continued to improve his own unique ban.
Named "Gu Shen Forbidden".
Lu Changan has a long life and a lot of free time. Even if his understanding is not top-notch, he can continue to improve and strengthen this restriction.
The Gu God ban imposed this time was much stronger than the one in Jing Kingdom.
After all, Lu Changan was promoted to the golden elixir, and the power of the soul fused with his previous life went beyond the scope of elixir formation.
After repeating the Liang Kingdom, he came into contact with Zhou Qingxuan's Gu Insect Restriction in the Sea of Consciousness. In the past few years, there have been new improvements and improvements to the "Voodoo God Restriction".
"Junior, the restrictions in your consciousness sea are difficult for ordinary Nascent Soul Lord to break."
Lu Changan pretends to be an old man with a white beard at the peak of his alchemy, and with the help of his past life possession, he can be regarded as acting in his true self, with impeccable charm and aura.
"In recognition of your loyalty, I will give you an opportunity to transform my elixir into a new knot, which will be valid for three years. After you return, prepare your own resources."
With the words of kindness and power, the white-bearded old man disappeared from the room where Xing Peng was staying as an outer disciple.
The great elder with the highest cultivation level is not in the sect.
Lu Changan could come and go freely at the outer gate of Jinyun Valley at night and do whatever he wanted.
Most of the elders from the outer sect have fake alchemy cultivation.
What he said about the opportunity to transform the elixir was to use Xing Peng as a guinea pig.
Xing Peng is thirty years younger than Lu Changan, so there is still hope for him to form an elixir again.
As the master of Wujianmenxiang, he has some family connections and can provide his own resources.
Even if he failed and died after converting the elixir, Lu Changan himself had no loss.
…
A few months later.
The second life in Lu Changan's mind has long since disappeared.
With his golden elixir-level soul and the nourishment of the soul-nurturing ring, his second life was lit up very quickly.
Lu Changan calculated that it only takes one year to light up the second life.
Once you reach the middle stage of elixir formation, you can further reduce the time.
Although the lighting time is greatly reduced, the blessing of the soul shadow in the second life does not improve the overall strength as much as the foundation building period.
However, that powerful divine soul state was of great help to Lu Changan in drawing talismans, casting Gu Divine Forbidden, and simulating identities through the Baihuan Mask.
This day.
Lu Changan, who was in seclusion, sensed a powerful breath of true elixir approaching Jinyun Valley.
"Overhaul in the later stage of pill formation."
Lu Changan discovered that the person who came was evil and was not the great elder of Jinyun Valley.
Sect Master Jinyun went out to negotiate with the late-stage alchemy master.
The person who came was a skinny old man in linen clothes with sunken eyes and a sinister expression.
During this period, the Jinyun Valley Sect Protecting Formation was once activated.
Lu Changan observed secretly and learned the purpose of this alchemy major cultivator.
The other party was Xie Wuji's elder, who put pressure on Jin Yungu to hand over Lu Changan and go to Chen Guotian Luo Sect for investigation.
"No need to say more, Mr. Xie! Your sect has no irrefutable evidence and has wrongfully accused the elders of our sect. How can Jinyun Valley tolerate your nonsense?"
Sect Leader Jinyun looked stern and had a tough attitude, and raised his hand to see off the guests.
Lu Changan silently liked it.
Joining Jinyun Valley, backed by big trees, is a good choice.
In Jinyun Valley, he will strictly abide by his duties as a guest elder.
If unfortunately you run away in the future, you should be polite and help if you can.
Across the Immortal Cultivation Kingdom, the Xie family and Tianluo Sect were helpless against Jinyun Valley.
The old man in sackcloth looked miserable and could only give up.
Before leaving, he asked to see Lu Changan, but was decisively rejected by the Jinyun Sect Master.
After all, the visitor was a major cultivator in the late stage of pill formation, and Sect Master Jinyun was worried that the other party would have strange means and threaten Lu Changan.
"Lu Changan, you are guilty of being a thief, and you don't even have the courage to come out and see him?"
The voice of the old man in sackcloth was like muffled thunder, exploding in the sky above Jinyun Valley.
Lu Changan made tea leisurely and ignored it.
"Uncle Lu, others are here! Are you really the culprit behind the scenes, colluding with Wujianmen to murder Xie Wuji?"
Zhao Tan'er sat aside, eating fruits, her pretty eyes moving.
"Master Turtle! If you have the ability, you have been hiding in Jinyun Valley."
Not seeing Lu Changan, the old man in sackcloth left a mocking word and left Jinyun Valley.
"Uncle Lu, he is mocking you."
Zhao Tan'er pursed her lips and smiled, her teeth were like shells, she was cunning and light.
"His advice is good!"
"Uncle Lu will stay in Jinyun Valley from now on. He will raise turtles, plant grass, draw talismans and drink tea. Why not relax."
Lu Changan took a sip of the spiritual tea and said slowly.
Zhao Tan'er made a "puff" sound, her chest rose and fell, and her eyes were gleaming:
"Are you always serious?"
In her opinion, Mr. Xie just wanted to talk about it and save some face, and would never dare to run wild in the world of immortality cultivation in Liang Kingdom.
As long as Lu Changan does not leave Liang State, he is considered safe.
"What do you think?" Lu Changan glanced at her.
"Hee! It's okay for you to stay in Jinyun Valley. After a while, I will replace Master from the front line."
Zhao Tan'er raised her eyebrows lightly and said happily.
"Your fighting skills are acceptable, but it's easy to dodge open guns on the battlefield, but hard to guard against hidden arrows."
Lu Changan reminded.
…
Not long after, Zhao Tan'er took the initiative to go to the front line of the battlefield.
Maybe it's just bad luck.
At this point, the war of demonic invasion will inevitably break out on a large scale.
