Chapter 288 Divination Improvement (Take a day off on the 12th)
Chapter 288 Divination Improvement
Half a year later, Lu Changan turned 207 years old.
There are still five years left before the Nine Seal Monument is lit up in the fourth life.
On this day, Yunlaifeng Cave Mansion.
Lu Changan is constructing and perfecting a third-level talisman array, using each talisman as a module.
Suddenly, he had a feeling and looked towards the east side of the clouds in the sky.
Spirit ships and flying boats, magic weapons escaping light, and a large number of monks from the Liang Kingdom passed by over the Jinyun Valley and stopped.
Among the complex mana fluctuations emitted by many monks, there is a transcendent breath of fire, which is located above the clouds, overlooking the world and the common people.
"Monk Nascent Soul, True Lord of Six Yangs!"
Lu Changan sensed for a moment and recognized the identity of the Nascent Soul Lord.
He has never seen the True Lord of Six Yangs in this life.
But Master Lihuo in the fourth life is more familiar with this person.
Back then, there was a gambling battle in front of Lihuo Palace.
Master Lihuo's opponent is none other than True Lord Liuyang of the Jinyang Sect.
After Master Lihuo was assassinated, True Lord Liuyang acted ruthlessly and used all his magical powers to kill the former to avoid causing further trouble.
In the end, Master Lihuo burned his essence, blood and lifespan to perform "Red Yang Blood Escape", and escaped with his life despite severe injuries.
The Jinyang Sect has two great Nascent Soul Lords, one old and one strong.
The True Lord of Six Yangs is the Nascent Soul who is in the prime of his life.
Whoosh whoosh!
A group of monks flew out from the gate of Jinyun Valley, led by several real people, and gathered with the army of Liang Kingdom monks above.
A large number of monks from the Liang Kingdom went to the Jing Kingdom to cultivate the world of immortality.
Ever since the Kingdom of Chen was conquered by the devil.
The sects of the Liang Kingdom and the major immortal cultivating forces focused on supporting the Jing Kingdom.
"If we don't provide full support today, the demon battlefield will break out in Liang Kingdom in the future."
Lu Changan understood Jin Yangzong's strategy.
In the Demonic War, the front line was pushed to the neighboring Jing Kingdom, and the Liang Kingdom sect was naturally a little anxious.
Rather than letting the war take place within the Liang Kingdom, it is better to fully support the Jing Kingdom and let the neighboring countries become the fiercest battlefield.
Unexpectedly.
The Beast King Valley camp, after defeating the Chen Kingdom, did not attack the seemingly weak Jing Kingdom.
The forces stationed in the Immortal Realm of Chen State in the Beast King Valley are making steady progress and digesting their territory.
Chen State is adjacent to Feng State to the west.
The Beast King Valley is watching with eager eyes, trying to contain the local forces of Feng Kingdom.
In fact, the Chen State at this time was located between the Feng State and the Jing State.
If the Wei Dao Alliance is bold, they can attack from both sides and threaten the demonic forces stationed in Chen State.
However.
The Guardian Alliance is not as powerful at the top, so taking the initiative to attack requires considerable risks.
After all, the defensive battle has been suppressed.
The main attack direction of the Demon Dao is still the Yan Kingdom to the south of the Feng Kingdom.
As long as Yan State is conquered, a preliminary encirclement will be formed on the west and south sides of Feng State.
…
In the next two years, Lu Changan devoted a lot of energy to improving his divination skills.
Divination is very unpopular among the various arts of cultivating immortals.
The main reason is that divination not only consumes talent, but also easily consumes mental energy, thereby shortening one's lifespan.
Suitable for monks with a long life, grind slowly.
If you want to speed up your progress and study hard, your life will be shortened.
Divination, which seems mysterious and transcendent, can predict bad luck and destiny.
In fact, most of the time, it's pretty useless.
If there is no correct clue basis, the calculation will be inaccurate, and you may even get wrong feedback.
Or, the results of divination are relatively general, with only one general direction.
For example, Lu Changan’s previous small evil hexagram.
If the longevity is not shortened, the hexagram obtained is only the Valley of the Beast King, and the precise cause cannot be found.
In two years.
Lu Changan lost ten years of his life, working day and night and exerting all his energy.
Finally, the art of divination has been upgraded to the third level of mid-level!
Lu Changan discovered that Changqing Gong has certain advantages in practicing divination.
Evergreen Kung Fu has strong recovery power, high energy, and can be practiced for a long time every day.
Lu Changan estimated that the effect of shortening his life by ten years would be at least equivalent to twenty years for a monk of the same level.
Moreover, he has a long lifespan, and even if he loses some of his lifespan, he will not suffer any damage to his muscles and bones.
"Looking at the entire Liang Kingdom's world of immortality, it is estimated that few monks can achieve the third-level mid-level divination."
Lu Changan thought to himself.
If it comes to ordinary immortal cultivation skills, it must be at least the third level of top grade in the Liang Kingdom to be considered truly top-notch.
The art of divination is even less popular, and even the third-level mid-level ones can be considered top-notch.
This is still measured by the Liang Kingdom after Jin Yangzong took over.
In the Lihuo Palace era, the overall strength of the Liang Kingdom's immortal world was much worse than it is today.
"Unfortunately, the best talent in the fourth life is weapon refining, and divination is relatively mediocre. It mainly depends on the powerful soul of the realm and forced cultivation to the third level."
Lu Changan felt a little regretful about this.
In fact, Master Lihuo has cultivated so many skills to the third level, and he is considered to be knowledgeable and talented in the Nascent Soul stage.
If you want to excel in any skill, it will take an ordinary monk's lifetime energy.
In the Nascent Soul stage, unless you are a specialized craftsman or have extremely talented people, it will be difficult to advance a skill to the fourth level.
Master Lihuo's weapon refining talent can only be said to be good, not excellent.
…
The skill of divination has been improved soon.
Zhao Siyao returned from the front line and was seriously injured.
According to the usual practice, Lu Changan healed Master Jiedan's wounds and could redeem the sect's contribution.
Zhao Siyao looks older again, about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, close to a middle-aged lady.
Her hair is simply tied up, her clothes are simple and elegant, and her face is vaguely beautiful. A few fishtail wrinkles cannot hide her real demeanor.
During this meeting, Lu Changan observed Zhao Siyao's face and vaguely sensed an unknown destiny.
Staring at this familiar old friend's face, he frowned slightly.
"Chang'an, are the wrinkles on my face ugly?"
Zhao Siyao looked calm and smiled.
In fact, she now has the financial resources to purchase the second-level Beauty Pill.
It's just that the demonic war has begun, and the master and apprentice have used all their financial resources to improve their means of protecting the devil.
Moreover, Zhuyan Dan only maintains the current appearance and has no ability to return to youth.
A few years ago, on Zhao Siyao's 200th birthday, Lu Changan gave her a Beauty Pill.
Zhao Siyao had no use for it herself, but gave it to Tan'er so that the latter could continue to look like a young girl for another hundred years.
"Siyao, no matter how many wrinkles you have on your face, it will not affect our friendship."
Lu Changan smiled.
Both of them are now over 200 years old, and their appearance is only aging, which is not worth mentioning.
After returning.
Lu Chang'an silently divined fortunes for Zhao Siyao.
He knew enough about all the information about Zhao Siyao, which reduced the difficulty of calculation.
It is another third-level mid-level divination, which only predicts the fate of the fake elixir real person, so it is not very difficult.
After a while, Lu Changan finished his divination and got the result:
A bad omen.
The specific hexagram is: at least two to three years, and no more than ten years at the latest, Zhao Siyao will have a disaster of life and death.
The average risk of life and death is between 40% and 60%.
This probability is already relatively high.
The clues to Zhao Siyao's death are not surprising in the war between demons.
In the cave, Lu Changan thought for a long time.
According to the rules of divination:
He couldn't explain things clearly to Zhao Siyao when it came to big causes and effects such as life and death. He could only give indirect reminders.
Otherwise, the fortune teller will face backlash, which will be reflected in future destiny and luck.
This is why the wise men in the history of the world of immortality, even if they have great divination, cannot reveal the secrets of heaven at will.
Of course, this kind of backlash also varies from person to person.
The size of the event, the cause and effect involved, and the monk's realm are all influencing factors.
Suppose that Lu Changan just revealed the future life and death disaster to an ordinary Qi refining monk and changed his destiny.
For a Golden elixir cultivator and a third-level divination expert, the backlash on his destiny is negligible.
After all, in his eyes, Qi Refining monks are no different from ants. How much influence can it have on changing their fate?
…
A few days later, Lu Changan went to Zhao Siyao's cave again.
The two chatted for a long time.
"Siyao, there is something I want to inform you in advance."
Lu Changan spoke carefully.
"Notified in advance?"
Looking at his hesitant friend, Zhao Siyao pursed her lips and smiled: "Chang'an, are you planning to run away?"
Lu Changan's expression froze.
I wipe it!
When did the carefully prepared escape plan get leaked?
However, right now, this person is the deepest friend and best confidant in the world.
Lu Changan thought about it and felt better.
"Well, in about three years, I will leave the Liang Kingdom to cultivate immortality to avoid the demonic invasion war."
According to the original plan, Lu Changan did not run away so quickly.
Looking at the current situation, at least within ten years, the Demon Beast King Valley will not be able to conquer the Liang Kingdom's Immortal Cultivation World.
However, Lu Changan was targeted by the "Peacock Saint" and could not wait until the Valley of the Beast King reached the Liang Kingdom before leaving.
If you run again then, the risk will more than double.
If we run now, the demonic forces are separated from the Feng Kingdom or the Jing Kingdom, and it is difficult to threaten Lu Changan head-on.
"Oh? Changan wants to take me with him?"
Zhao Siyao understood immediately.
"Yes, just treat it as a trip."
Lu Changan did not disclose where he was going.
He had a rough map of Feng Yuan Kingdom in his mind.
The fourth incarnation, Master Lihuo, went to Feng Yuan Kingdom two hundred years ago.
"Chang'an, thank you for your kindness. I can't leave Jinyun Valley. Siyao has only fake alchemy cultivation and has lived to be more than two hundred years old. He fights for the sect and resists the invasion of demons. Why should he fear death?"
Zhao Siyao's eyes were clear and she refused with a smile.
Lu Changan was silent for a moment, understanding Zhao Siyao's position.
He has practiced and grown up in Jinyun Valley since he was a child, which lasted nearly one or two hundred years.
This bond is difficult to break.
Zhao Tan'er's experience is similar.
Furthermore, who is Lu Changan Zhao Siyao?
He is nameless and not a Taoist companion, so he can let go of his past of a hundred or two hundred years and follow him out of this homeland.
Lu Changan's identity can only be described here.
With Zhao Siyao's intelligence, he knew that he could divine fortune, and he could probably guess what happened today's abnormal performance.
…
Two months later.
Zhao Siyao left Jinyun Valley and went to the frontline battlefield.
Seeing the familiar and graceful figure, Lu Changan secretly made a secret secret in his hand, and through the Nine-Seal Monument, he inserted a reincarnation mark into Zhao Siyao's soul.
He was at least certain that under the Nascent Soul Stage, he could not sense the existence of the Mark of Reincarnation.
Because he did not die and enter the reincarnation of heaven and earth, Lu Changan could not sense Zhao Siyao's spiritual light.
As long as the soul is not in a state of disarray, the mark of the reincarnation mark has an effect.
Of course, this is just the worst-case scenario.
There is no 100% accuracy in the art of divination.
Who dares to control the future?
I'm afraid even the top monks can't do it.
In divination, even a very bad hexagram can turn danger into disaster.
Before leaving, Lu Changan and Zhao Siyao made a deal.
Lu Changan sold her a quasi-third-level puppet at a friendly price, including several third-level talismans.
The former quasi-third-level puppet was given to Zhao Tan'er by Zhao Siyao, but it was later scrapped on the battlefield.
After the transaction, the spiritual stones on Zhao Siyao were drained and used as deductions for some materials.
In addition, Lu Changan left a third-level middle-grade escape talisman in the puppet, and it was a high-quality one.
Because he did not obtain the materials for the third-grade high-grade talisman, this is the highest-grade talisman that Lu Changan has painted in recent years.
Second only to the most powerful eight treasure talismans and small movement talismans.
As for the third-level puppet, Lu Changan did not sell it to Zhao Siyao.
First, she couldn't afford it at all.
Secondly, it cannot exert its true power, and there is no third-level escape talisman to save lives and be practical.
If it is known that Zhao Siyao has a third-level puppet, the Wei Dao Alliance might arrange for her to fight against the True Alchemy cultivator, thereby increasing the danger.
The principle that those who can do more work is also applicable to large organizations in the world of immortality.
…
Everything that needs to be said has been said, and everything that needs to be done has been done.
Less than three years have passed since the fourth life was lit.
In the next two or three years, Lu Changan focused on preparing his escape plan.
Sell useless magic weapons, various trophies, and purchase needed supplies.
Although Feng Yuan Kingdom has a large territory, comparable to Feng Kingdom, and has ancient Nascent Soul-level forces, its resources are poor and there are large areas of desert wasteland.
Feng Yuan Kingdom has a harsh environment and is suitable for monks who practice earth-based techniques.
After going there, the rock rat was probably very comfortable and at home like a fish in water.
Lu Changan and Xuan Shuigui are somewhat acclimatized.
As far as the third-level spiritual veins are concerned, the earth element of the heaven and earth spiritual energy over there is stronger, while other spiritual energies are inferior.
Lu Changan's cultivation level is enough to find a third-level low-grade spiritual vein in Liang Kingdom.
If you go there, the third-level lower-grade spiritual veins will take longer to practice. It is best to be at the third-order mid-grade to practice comfortably.
Therefore, you need to prepare some supplies, elixirs, vegetation, water-based materials, etc.
Of course, not all materials in Feng Yuan Kingdom are poor.
There is no shortage of minerals and refining materials, and they are even much cheaper than those in the Wei Dao Alliance.
Lu Changan is preparing to attack the third-level mid-level puppet master there and collect more powerful puppets.
When hoarding supplies, Lu Changan sold a lot of items, but his spiritual stones still shrank rapidly.
From hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones at its peak, it has shrunk to hundreds of thousands.
However, if you buy low and sell high, you can still gain some blood after going to Feng Yuan Kingdom.
…
Two years later, Lu Changan was two hundred and ten years old.
There is only one year left before lighting up the fourth life.
The purple-robed True Monarch of the fourth life was a shadow, with only his feet unlit.
In the past two years, material procurement has been about the same.
Lu Changan made appropriate arrangements for Xing Peng and Zhou Qingxuan.
Both of them have replanted the enhanced version of "Gu Shen Forbidden" in their consciousness.
From Lu Changan's Yuanying level perspective, few of the current Gu God Restrictions can be resolved in the early Yuanying stage.
The two know the Gu God's Forbidden Soul in the Sea of Knowledge and have different keys to crack it.
Lu Changan gave Zhou Qingxuan the method to stabilize Xing Peng's Gu Divine Restriction.
Afterwards, Xing Peng reported the news to Zhou Qingxuan and promised not to lose control.
If it lasts more than three years without stable restraint, it will break out and the sea of consciousness will wither and die.
Lu Changan made separate arrangements for Zhou Qingxuan's ban on Gu gods, which needs to be stabilized within ten years.
Every ten years, Zhou Qingxuan needs to go to the border of Fengyuan Kingdom, and Lu Changan casts magic remotely to help stabilize it.
Zhou Qingxuan was very happy about this.
With the information about the Wujian Sect, it will not be difficult to protect the Zhou family when the demonic tide sweeps through in the future.
While Lu Changan put the two of them under checks and balances, he also repaid Zhou Qingxuan's previous favor.
…
The last half year before running away.
Lu Changan still has a large contribution in Jinyun Valley that has not been used up.
Most of them are talismans, healing and accumulated sect contributions, the amount is considerable.
"That's all."
Lu Changan only redeemed some of the required resources, leaving most of his contribution on the Elder Token.
Although it cannot provide help in times of need.
Lu Changan also didn't want to draw the blood of Jinyun Valley in an era when supplies were in short supply.
In the past twenty years, Jin Yungu had treated him well.
Running away is indeed disgraceful.
Before Lu Changan left, he decided to return the favor.
He recorded the general information about a key magic path within the Jinyun Valley power in the jade slip.
You cannot reveal more detailed information, nor describe it in too much detail, otherwise Xing Peng may be implicated.
This key piece of detailed information on magic can help Jinyun Valley avoid huge losses in the future.
Wait half a year after Lu Changan leaves.
The corresponding transmission notes will be triggered in the caves of Zhang Tieshan and Zhao's master and apprentice, and then they will be able to find the location of the jade slip of information.
…
Survive the last few months of waiting.
On this day, Lu Changan felt a sensation and his consciousness entered the Nine Seal Monument.
The phantoms of the purple-robed Taoist of the fourth generation were all lit up, exuding a terrifying aura of soul.
Lu Changan felt the pressure of facing the Yuanying spirit body directly.
Apart from not having the mana of the Nascent Soul stage, there is no difference at the soul level.
Such a trump card only happens once every twenty years.
In addition to greatly enhancing magical power and fighting skills, it can also improve the status of divination, weapon refining, and talisman painting.
Perhaps, Lu Changan can also be allowed to disguise himself as True Lord Nascent Soul.
However, it is still uncertain whether the Baihuan Mask can simulate a Yuanying-level identity.
After lighting up the fourth life, Lu Changan felt at ease.
He divined for himself again.
Staying in Jinyun Valley is a sign of misfortune.
Going to Feng Yuan Kingdom will bring more good luck than bad luck.
Lu Changan nodded secretly. It seemed that his choice of escape was in the right direction.
It's not a good sign, it's normal.
Now that the outside world is so chaotic, traveling across countries is always risky, and there is no absolute smooth sailing.
Before leaving Liang Guo, Lu Changan met Xing Peng for the last time.
Jinyun Valley's sphere of influence.
Bauhinia Fairy City, inside an inn.
"Mr. Lu, this is the latest information about Huang Lang Zhenren."
Xing Peng, in gray and white robes, bowed and handed over the jade slip of information.
After Lu Changan read the information, he said dumbly:
"Zhenhuang Huanglang was so seriously injured, but he was quite good at running. He persisted for so long despite being wanted by the Guardian Alliance."
According to Wujianmen's intelligence, Huanglang Zhenren fled to the area between Jingguo and Liangguo, probably on the edge of the Black Mist Mountains.
The reason why he persisted for so long was because there was a leader-level figure in the Wujian Sect who tipped him off.
"Well, that's fine."
Lu Changan thought to himself.
Fengyuan Kingdom has a vast territory and can be reached by going north from Liang Kingdom and Jing Kingdom.
Lu Changan plans to use the intelligence clues of Wujian Sect and use divination techniques to calculate the location of Huang Lang, and track and kill this person.
Huanglang Zhenren is a well-known profiteer in the Jing Kingdom. As the president of the Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce, he is extremely rich.
By killing this person, you can not only get revenge and relieve your anger, but also gain an ill-gotten fortune.
Moreover, there are many suspects around who are taking the blame.
It is said that Huanglang Zhenren paid a heavy price and escaped the encirclement and suppression. He carried with him part of the treasures and inheritance of the Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce, including some rare beast eggs.
