Lu Changan, who is 178 years old, learned a rather unexpected piece of information.
He was actually wanted with a reward on his head.
Although the influence of Wanted is currently limited to the immortal world of Chen Guo.
The Immortal Realm of Liang Kingdom did not recognize the Xie clan's wanted arrest in Chen Kingdom. After all, the reward targets were the elders of their sects.
Most of the neutral monks in the outside world tend to sympathize with Lu Changan.
The Xie family of Chen Guo could not produce any irrefutable evidence. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lu Changan was probably wrongly accused.
One party is a good old man with an inspirational reputation, low-key and down-to-earth.
One side is a force that dominates the country and is domineering.
"Morality is insufficient and people's hearts are against me. What is the intention of Mr. Chen Guoxie in doing this?"
In Yunlaifeng Cave, Lu Changan frowned and fell into brief thought.
"Huh? The reward offered by the Chen Guo Xie family is actually a threat to me."
Chen Guo Xie's bounty is quite generous, including the level-breaking elixir in the middle stage of pill formation, which is very attractive to most pill formation monks.
No matter which country's monks capture and kill Lu Changan, they can go to Chen State to collect the reward.
"Moreover, launching an express wanted order may make Xia Wenyue worried, so she will negotiate with the Xie family of Chen Guo to plead for mercy."
Lu Changan realized the problem.
The Xie family of Chen Guo must have controlled public opinion in the local immortality community.
The monks in the country may have really thought that Lu Changan had colluded with Wujianmen or Xuanyin Sect to kill Xie Wuji.
A monk who hates the devil will definitely be willing to accept the mission.
Think for a moment.
Lu Changan took up his pen and wrote a letter.
As the elder of Jinyun Valley, send it to Xia Wenyue of Aoyue Palace.
There is no remembrance of the past in the letter, nor any nostalgia for the past.
Lu Changan just told Xia Wenyue that he would not leave Jinyun Valley's sphere of influence and was absolutely safe.
In fact, as long as Xia Wenyue can help intercede, the wanted reward from Chen Guo Xie's injustice will be easily solved.
However, Lu Changan, who took the blame for no apparent reason, was quite disgusted with Mr. Xie.
Not only would Lu Changan not let them succeed, he would also beat up the fallen dog if he had the opportunity in the future.
…
Two months later, Zhao Siyao returned to Jinyun Valley from the front line.
On the same day, Lu Changan paid tribute to this century-old friend.
Or after years of hard work on the battlefield.
Zhao Siyao looked two years older than the last time we met, about thirty-one or twelve years old.
When I first returned to Jinyun Valley.
The white dress that used to have a fairy-like air turned into a dark blue leather robe, which accentuated her tall figure and made her look heroic.
After Zhao Siyao returned to the cave, she put on a plain dress, her hair was pulled high, and she didn't have any makeup, so she was simple and plain.
Maybe not as stunning as before, but still dignified, generous, mature and elegant.
From the well-known girl in her prime, to the beauty and refinement of the sect fairy, to the beauty of the fake queen who has lost her beauty.
Lu Changan is like a witness to history, seeing the lifelong changes and ups and downs of each friend's life.
Elder Cave.
Before the long case.
The two of them sat opposite each other, their eyes calm and clear, and the atmosphere was naturally relaxed.
They are also friends for centuries.
Compared to Li Erqing, there is a little more tacit understanding between Lu Changan and Zhao Siyao.
The relationship between the two is more than friends.
But if we want to talk about the relationship between men and women, it seems insufficient because it has never begun.
This is also the keynote of friendship over the past hundred years, with friendship based on Taoism being the mainstay.
In fact, this relationship is stronger than most Taoist couples in the world.
Lu Changan didn't want to break this balance, let alone treat it as a casual romance that would tarnish a relationship that lasted more than a hundred years.
Even if he doesn't mind.
Zhao Siyao, as a clean and upright female cultivator, was not willing to accept such a relationship.
"I heard that demonic monks fight fiercely. Fellow Daoist Zhao may be in danger."
Lu Changan said.
"In the war of cultivating immortals, there is no absolute safety."
Zhao Siyao's voice was a little low.
"Even when Siyao was defending Xiancheng City on the second line of the battlefield, he experienced several battles. In one of the battles to defend the city, he almost lost his right arm, but he was able to repel the enemy and was continued by the doctor afterwards."
"It's a great blessing that Siyao was able to survive. There are many fellow sect members who fought side by side, they..."
The corners of Zhao Siyao's eyes were red, and some tragic scenes could not be described.
Once, a fake elixir cultivator who rescued her had his exploded head and blood, flesh, and slurry splashed on her face.
"Your arm was seriously injured? Let me take a look."
Knowing that Zhao Siyao's arm had been cut off, Lu Changan secretly broke into a cold sweat.
If it were any further away, I might not be able to see her today.
Zhao Siyao rolled up the sleeves of her skirt, revealing her ivory arms, with a circle of scars like a centipede wrapping around her shoulders.
"Fortunately, the reconnection was timely and it took two years to recuperate, so it had little impact on the fighting skills."
Lu Changan injected Changqing's magic power to help her heal and nourish her for an hour.
"If doctors on the battlefield had medical skills like Chang'an's, I'm afraid a lot of casualties could be reduced."
Zhao Siyao put away her wrist, feeling a little lighter, and couldn't help but admire it.
"Well, I didn't mean to let you go to the battlefield..."
With a smile on her face and a soft voice, she added another sentence.
"It doesn't matter! Even if that's what you mean, I won't go to the battlefield."
Lu Changan said bluntly.
Zhao Siyao burst into laughter, breaking the sadness and depression after returning from the battlefield.
Later, Lu Changan learned about the war situation of the demonic invasion from Zhao Siyao.
In fact, Xing Peng will report relevant information to him.
Zhao Siyao's description was more detailed, allowing Lu Changan to understand a more realistic side.
…
The frontline battlefields are mainly Yan State and Chen State.
The fourth-level spiritual veins of the Yan Kingdom are garrisoned by the remaining forces led by the two Nascent Soul Lords who were defeated by the Six Demonic Sects.
At Shanmen, their home, their relatives, friends, and teachers were destroyed by the devil, and they have an irreconcilable hatred.
The major cultivating kingdoms of the Guardian Alliance are continuously providing support to the front line.
The Jinyang Sect of Liang State sent one Nascent Soul and left one to guard the homeland.
The three major Nascent Soul forces of the Feng Kingdom are closer to the front line of the Yan Kingdom and have sent several Nascent Soul Lords.
On the frontline battlefield, a Nascent Soul War has already broken out.
The Beast King Gu Ben Sect currently has one mid-stage Nascent Soul and three early-stage Nascent Soul.
At the same time, there are two Nascent Soul Lords affiliated with the sect.
This is not the true strength of Beast King Valley.
It is said that there is at least one mid-stage Nascent Soul and two early-stage Nascent Soul behind the Beast King Valley, suppressing the local area and the previously occupied immortal cultivation area.
Among the six demonic sects, Beast King Valley is considered to be at the top in terms of strength.
Their top combat power is not limited to True Lord Nascent Soul, but also the fourth-level beast king they have cultivated.
The Beast King is cultivated using a unique method, consuming potential and lifespan, and is as big as a hill.
Attacking the enemy head-on is comparable to the True Monarch Nascent Soul.
The shortcomings of the fourth-level beast king are mainly that it is less intelligent, and its mobility and variety of methods are not as good as those of the Nascent Soul Lord.
For this reason, the Wei Dao Alliance must have multiple pill-forming monks form a formation to resist the attack of the fourth-level beast king.
In addition, there are normal fourth-level monsters in the Beast King Valley, including fourth-level birds.
In terms of top-end combat power, the Wei Dao Alliance suffered a bit.
Due to the gathering of the power of the immortal cultivation circles from many countries, there is a certain advantage in the number of monks in foundation building, fake elixirs, and true elixirs.
However, the cannon fodder of the middle and low-level war beasts cultivated in the Beast King Valley are also numerous in number. They charge into battle and are not afraid of death.
The Wei Dao Alliance can only rely on its local advantages to defend against the invasion of the Demonic Beast King Valley.
"The top combat power is not as good, so we can only defend passively..."
Lu Changan sighed secretly.
If you dare to take the initiative, you will be easily defeated by differentiation, and you will not care about the head but the tail.
The defender, relying on the geographical advantage of the Immortal City's spiritual veins, has to pay a lower price.
Fortunately, the numerical advantage of the middle- and lower-level monks allowed them to fight a defensive war of attrition, and the new blood at the rear would continue to provide assistance.
…
Two years later.
After recovering from her injuries, Zhao Siyao went to the front line again.
It is said that Zhao Tan'er was injured on the front line. Although the injury was not serious, it was still a bit dangerous.
True elixir female cultivators are relatively rare and are easily targeted on the battlefield.
Especially Zhao Tan'er, a young and beautiful female true alchemy cultivator.
As a master, Zhao Siyao was very worried and went to the front line to give instructions and take care of him.
Lu Changan knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he didn't stop him.
The relationship between Zhao Siyao and Zhao Tan'er is that of mother and daughter. They have been together in the world of immortality for more than a hundred years.
This kind of feeling is better than that of a biological daughter.
All Lu Changan could do was to sell Zhao Siyao a few high-quality third-level talismans at a friendly price.
A few days later.
"Elder Lu, this is the longevity pill sent from the General Affairs Hall."
The maid Xiaoqiu presented a brocade box over.
Lu Changan nodded and returned to the secret room.
Opening the brocade box, the elixir contained in the jade bottle was exactly the second-level quality life-extending elixir he needed.
For this life-extending pill, Lu Changan issued a mission in the sect through his status as an elder.
The reward is the sect's contribution and the refined quasi-third-level talisman.
With the outbreak of the Demonic Invasion War, war preparation materials have increased sharply, and high-quality talismans are very valuable.
On the contrary, the prices of supplies such as longevity pills have dropped slightly compared to usual.
Taking this opportunity, Lu Changan openly or covertly collected life-extending items.
Except for the one I got today.
Lu Changan used his identity as a vest to attend an auction in the Bauhinia Fairy City within the Jinyun Valley's sphere of influence and bought a second-level quality life-extending pill.
If it were the Liang Kingdom in the past, the second-level high-quality life-extending pills would not be so easy to buy.
After the Jinyang Sect took over, they migrated their spiritual veins and brought many immortal cultivating forces with inheritance.
The world of immortality in Liang was more prosperous and developed than ever before.
Coupled with the catalyst of war, certain forces or individual alchemists are willing to sell this scarce material in order to increase their means of saving lives.
"Extend your life by eighteen years."
This is the third second-level quality life-extending pill that Lu Changan has taken.
Six months ago, I took the second pill, which extended my life by twenty-two years.
The earliest one in Jing Kingdom will extend your life by twenty-eight years.
This effect was achieved because Lu Changan took the high-quality second-level life-extending pill and refreshed his drug resistance.
These two exquisite life-extending pills brought Lu Changan's total life span to 1,040 years.
"The sect mission method can only be used once. In the future, the second-level quality life-extending pills can only be collected secretly using vests."
"In addition, there are third-level life-extending pills in the Liang Kingdom's immortal world today. But they are rarely sold, and most of them are digested internally."
As an elder of Dan Jie, Lu Changan is qualified to compete for the third-level longevity elixir.
Ordinary third-level life-extending pills can often extend life by about thirty years.
If Lu Changan takes it, the effect can be doubled.
Compared with the first and second levels of the third-level longevity elixir, the value increase is not linear.
Because the group it targets are high-level monks, and in the end, they are also fake elixir practitioners.
Without strategic resources, it is difficult to trade the third-level longevity pill.
"That Crystal Condensation Pill material can actually come in handy."
Lu Changan calculated.
He has a complete set of Crystal Condensation Pill materials in his hand.
It originally came from the "Night Fisherman" who was colluded with Song Wenshu. After years of collecting, there was only one main ingredient missing.
The final main ingredient of the crystal condensation elixir was obtained from Master Lihuo's space storage ring.
Lu Changan is going to ask a third-level alchemist to refine the crystal condensation pill.
Then use the Crystal Condensation Pill and find someone to trade the third-level Life Extension Pill.
Affected by the Demonic War, the value of strategic resources such as Crystal Condensation Pills has greatly increased.
It should be no problem to exchange it for the third-level longevity pill.
If a cultivating force that possesses third-level longevity elixirs loses its elixir-forming cultivators in the battlefield invaded by demons, they may be in vain.
…
There is a third-level mid-level alchemist in Jinyun Valley.
This person's name is "Morning Pill", he is an alchemy elder in the sect, and he is also the director of Caomu Hall.
In terms of status, he is higher than Lu Changan, the guest elder.
Master Chendan is an alchemist trained by Jinyun Valley himself.
It is said that his spiritual root qualification back then could only reach the middle-grade spiritual root.
But this person's alchemy aptitude is astonishing.
In order to train him into a third-level great alchemist, Jinyun Valley invested a lot of resources to help him reluctantly form the lower reaches of the true elixir.
After forming the elixir, Master Chendan has insufficient cultivation stamina. Even if he takes the level-breaking elixir, he cannot advance to the middle stage of the elixir formation.
Lu Changan speculated that this person relied too much on elixirs and external substances before forming the elixir, which stifled his potential.
With no hope of success, Master Chen Dan simply devoted his energy to refining alchemy.
In the past few years, Lu Changan and Chen Dan had met each other, but they had not had much contact with each other.
This person spends most of his time buried in the alchemy room, and Lu Changan rarely goes out, so he may not meet him once a year.
On this day, Lu Changan went directly to the cave of Chen Dan to visit.
Master Chen Dan is a Taoist in slovenly blue robes, with two mustaches, messy hair and blue eye bags.
"When a poor man refines crystal condensation pills, he can normally produce two pills. If the performance is a bit poor, one is genuine and the other is defective. If the performance is extraordinary, it is possible to produce three pills."
For the guest elder Lu Changan, Master Chen Dan did not neglect him. He received him as soon as possible and patiently answered his questions.
"Please ask Fellow Chendan to refine the Crystal Condensation Pill. How much will the reward be?"
"As long as Master Lu is willing to exchange a Crystal Condensation Pill as a contribution to the sect, I won't take any money from you."
Master Chen Dan's eyes were bright, he was stroking his beard and smiling.
Lu Changan was surprised. He did not expect that the alchemy elder would be so loyal to Jinyun Valley.
As long as this alchemist is in charge, Jinyun Valley will not be short of new blood from Master Jie Dan in the next two hundred years.
In the Immortal Cultivation War a few years ago, the lost Danden Masters were almost replaced before the Demonic War broke out.
"If Elder Chen Dan can refine three pills, Lu will consider exchanging one of them as a contribution. If not, only third-level longevity pills can be traded."
Lu Changan neither refused nor agreed, and put forward corresponding conditions.
Half an hour later.
Lu Changan and Elder Chendan reached an agreement on alchemy.
If there are three Cheng Dan, Lu Changan will exchange one of them as a contribution to the sect, and Elder Chen Dan will not receive any reward.
For two pills, Lu Changan used a third-level talisman to deduct the reward.
If his performance is even worse, Elder Chendan will not ask for any reward.
After taking out the elixir-making materials, Lu Changan waited for Elder Chendan to make the elixir.
…
Half a month later.
Lu Changan got two genuine crystal condensing pills and left the cave of the alchemy elder.
Elder Chen Dan tried his best, but the circles under his eyes turned black. In the end, he failed to master the three Crystal Condensing Pills, which he felt regretful about.
Lu Changan secretly thought that as both alchemists, Master Hua and Elder Chendan had a huge difference in character.
In order to give the sect one more crystal-condensing elixir, Elder Chen Dan worked hard and would rather not receive the reward for refining the elixir.
In addition, Elder Chen Dan also promised Lu Changan that he would not tell anyone else about refining the Crystal Condensation Pill.
Results the next day.
Sect Leader Jinyun came to visit, hoping to spend a lot of money to buy a Crystal Condensation Pill from Lu Changan.
Lu Changan secretly slandered that as soon as he praised the old man Qian Chendan for his good character, he turned around and sold the information to the Jinyun Sect Master.
"Lu's two crystal condensation pills, one is to fulfill the old friend's promise. The other is to be traded for the third-level life extension pill."
"If the sect leader can get the third-level longevity pill, Lu is willing to trade."
Lu Changan used the same reason to politely reject Jin Yun Sect Master.
Jin Yungu would not fall out with Lu Changan over a crystal condensation pill.
Even if there are crystal condensation elixirs, most of them can only be fake elixirs.
The Great Elder and Zhang Tieshan were not in Jinyun Valley, and Lu Changan thought that if other true elixirs joined forces, they would not be able to threaten him.
He is not alone, he has a third-level puppet and a third-level demon with half a step of golden elixir.
"The third-level longevity elixir, our sect will try our best to fight for it."
Sect Master Jin Yun did not force it.
Lu Changan was known to cherish his life, and the Jinyun Sect Master knew that he wanted to trade the third-level life-extending pill, so it was not an excuse.
"I hope the sect leader will keep the matter of Lu possessing the Crystal Condensation Pill a secret."
"Okay, this matter is only known to our sect and Elder Chendan."
After the leader Jin Yun made his promise, he stood up and left.
…
A few days later.
Several fake elixir elders from Jinyun Valley, who were in charge of the hall, came to see Lu Changan, only to learn that the latter was closed to visitors.
"That's right! Fortunately, I have the foresight."
Lu Changan, who was in retreat, could see through the thoughts of these visitors.
at this time.
squeak!
The rock rat emerged from the ground and spoke human words:
"Master, Xiaopeng is in contact and wants to meet with you."
"Okay, let him wait tonight."
Lu Changan ordered.
Two years ago, Lu Changan, as a white-bearded old man in his previous life, promised Xing Peng an opportunity to transform elixirs and asked him to prepare for it.
After hundreds of years of exploration, Lu Changan has figured out the corresponding method for concealing the Evergreen Secret Technique.
Otherwise, he would not easily find someone to do experiments.
The most reliable method is to take a wood-attribute spirit bead or a high-quality wood-type elixir and input the Evergreen Secret Technique into it.
In this way, the power of the Evergreen Secret Technique will not fade away quickly and can be preserved for a short period of time.
Take it as soon as possible to achieve 50% to 60% effect.
In addition, Lu Changan is still studying whether the power of the Evergreen Secret Technique can be sealed in talismans or treasure talismans, but so far there has been no success.
That night.
Lu Changan followed the wind and sneaked into the night, arriving at the small courtyard where Xing Peng was staying as an outer disciple.
"Mr. Lu, this is the information you want from the Seven Nations Alliance about Lihuo Palace."
Xing Peng did not mention the chance of converting the elixir, but respectfully presented a jade slip.
"Because you requested that the top management of Wujianmen not be alerted, we are taking a very cautious action. But because of this, there may be a certain delay in the intelligence."
"Um."
Lu Changan took the jade slip and examined it with his spiritual consciousness.
Paying attention to the information about Lihuo Palace is to fulfill the last wish of Master Lihuo and obtain the past life of True Lord Nascent Soul.
Lu Changan's plan was to lie dormant for more than ten years in the early stage of the Golden Elixir, wait until the mana becomes deeper and the nail-headed arrows develop greater power, and then go to the Seven Nations Alliance.
Only if you are strong enough and go to the Seven Nations Alliance can you help Lihuo Palace.
"It has been seventeen years since Lihuo Palace moved to the Seven Nations Alliance... After agreeing to send some monks to help resist the demonic invasion, we were able to purchase a third-level mid-grade spiritual vein land, and the scale is not large."
"A few years ago, Wang Feng obtained the core heritage of the Fire Palace and formed a golden elixir..."
"Lihuo Palace hopes to purchase another piece of quasi-fourth-level spiritual veins in the future. It needs to perform meritorious service on the battlefield and face competitors. That quasi-fourth-level piece is expected to be cultivated into fourth-level in the future. If it is purchased, it will be used if there are already golden elixir monks.
Next, there is hope for revitalizing the Lihuo Palace."
Lu Changan put away the jade slips and had a general understanding of the current situation of Lihuo Palace in the Seven Nations Alliance.
Then, he turned his attention to Xing Peng.
The latter, disguised as an outer disciple, wore a silk white velvet robe today.
