Two months later, Yun Ling successfully established the foundation.
After consolidating her realm, Yun Ling immediately came to Shanshui Manor to express her gratitude, and her brother Yun Hao also accompanied her.
"Mr. Xu, this is Ling'er's gratitude and Blastoise's gift."
Yun Ling was wearing a pink and white dress, her eyebrows were smiling, and her lips were rosy.
She took out two items and presented them.
The first one is a finely crafted jade sculpture of a man in green shirt, with a lifelike expression and appearance.
Lu Changan took a quick look and found that the image and temperament of the sculpture were more elegant and handsome than the one who simulated his previous life, as if he had an extra layer of "beauty".
The jade carvings are made from fine second-grade jade.
For Yun Ling, who had just built the foundation, it cost a lot of money and was carefully hand-carved with her heart in mind.
The second is a large gift box, which contains exquisite animal food, with a preference for turtles, which is valuable in the desert.
Xuan Shui Turtle got the exquisite animal food, stretched out his head and rubbed Yun Ling's embroidered shoes and calves, and then ate happily with a huge appetite.
For more than a hundred years, Lu Changan had rarely seen Xuan Shui Turtle with such a good appetite and mood.
"It costs you money."
Lu Changan smiled slightly and invited the Yun brothers and sisters to take their seats.
Fifteen years ago, when he first came to the Heyuan Oasis, the Yun brothers and sisters were only at the ninth and eighth levels of Qi refining.
Nowadays, both brother and sister are already foundation-building monks. In some small families, they can be called ancestor-level figures.
As a high-grade spiritual root, Yunhao is the heir that Master Lihuo has trained in Feng Yuan Kingdom. He has great hope for true elixirs in the future.
Yuling's qualifications are not bad, and Lan Xinhui's character is good. Lu Changan's guidance made her cultivation and talisman skills go more smoothly in the early stages of practice.
Coupled with Granny Yun's special care, Yun Ling's cultivation progress is not much slower than that of high-grade spiritual roots.
Grandma Yun's training method focuses on experience, allowing the brother and sister to go through the hardships at the bottom and become self-reliant since childhood.
"After the foundation building period, my grandma asked us to practice near the oasis, hunt sand beasts, and go shopping in the surrounding small oases. My brother had encountered sand bandits before and was injured in a fight. Fortunately, he gave us the life-saving escape talisman..."
Yun Ling's eyes were clear and her expression was high. She was looking forward to the future experience, but also a little nervous.
Yun Hao looked at his sister who was looking at Pan Shenghui and secretly cursed:
On weekdays at home, I don't see you speaking so freely and looking so bright.
Lu Changan spoke in a gentle tone and taught the two brothers and sisters the experience of traveling in the world of cultivating immortals.
The Yun brothers and sisters listened very carefully and respected Lu Changan.
First of all, Lu Changan has gradually revealed his achievements as a third-level alchemist over the years. Looking at the desolate and barren Feng Yuan Kingdom, his status is already noble.
Secondly, Granny Yun vaguely revealed to the brother and sister that Mr. Xu might be a low-key, reclusive true elixir expert.
Under Lu Changan's guidance, Yun Ling did achieve good results.
As the elder brother, Yun Hao was somewhat moved. However, he was thin-skinned and felt a little embarrassed in front of Master Jie Dan.
At the same time, Yun Hao saw that Xu Zhenren was closer to his sister and took extra care of the latter.
At first, both Yunhao and Grandma thought that Mr. Xu was interested in a pretty girl. But over the years, Mr. Xu behaved in a well-mannered and upright manner. Except for a little care, he never did anything beyond his words and deeds.
On the contrary, it is my younger sister who has a faint tendency to be romantically interested.
In his spare time, Lu Changan didn't mind giving some advice to the Yun brothers and sisters. Anyway, the two of them had some connection with him.
If in the future, the brother and sister both become alchemy monks, looking back on the present, it will be a good story.
…
More than half a year later, Lu Changan turned 229 years old.
After cultivating quietly for so many years, he estimated that he would still have seven or eight years to reach the peak of the early stage of elixir formation.
He has cultivated to the peak of the early stage of elixir formation for a period of one year, which is considered average among the true elixir monks.
This kind of cultivation progress is faster than during the Qi refining and foundation building stages.
Lu Changan speculated that it should be the effect of the immortal golden elixir.
After all, his wood spirit root is only low-grade, and since the Evergreen Kung Fu absorbs the energy of the cycle of time, there are constraints on his daily practice.
Normally it should be below average.
The Immortal Golden Elixir has higher quality mana, increases potential, and makes the daily practice of Evergreen Gong higher in quality.
On this day, Shanshui Manor, where Lu Changan settled, welcomed a visitor from afar for the first time.
After playing with the black water turtle, Yun Ling walked out of the manor and suddenly heard a sound breaking through the air.
A ray of true elixir level rosy cloud light descended from the sky and landed in front of Shanshui Manor.
Yun Ling raised her head, her beautiful eyes slightly blank.
It was a female cultivator in a white dress with picturesque eyebrows and elegant temperament. She looked like a lotus flower emerging from the mud, with cloud-like hair on her temples and an air of immortality.
The beauty and demeanor of the female cultivator Jiedan made Yun Ling feel intimidated, like a village belle seeing a more glamorous woman in the city.
"Little girl, this is Shanshui Manor, Mr. Xu's residence?"
A clear and beautiful female voice came.
Jiang Ruotong looked dignified and looked at the pure and tender young girl. Even in the Xuanyin Pavilion where there were many beauties, she was still a good piece of rough jade.
"Senior, are you here to see Mr. Xu? This is his dojo."
Yun Ling bowed, feeling quite surprised and inexplicably nervous.
Mr. Xu settled in the Heyuan Oasis as a down-and-out alchemist. He had always been alone and thought he had no confidante.
On the oasis, for more than ten years, Mr. Xu had not interacted with any other beautiful female nuns except himself.
At this moment, Shanshui Manor unexpectedly welcomed a beautiful and refined Jingdan Jurchen, which made people feel ashamed.
"It's good that you found the right place."
Jiang Ruotong smiled slightly, twitched her green fingers, and flicked them in the air. The ethereal and quiet sonic melody spread to the manor.
That beautiful melody made Yun Ling startled, and she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and blurted out:
"Senior, are you the Master Jiedan of Xuanyin Pavilion?"
"Yes, little girl, what is your relationship with Mr. Xu?"
Jiang Ruotong nodded and asked curiously.
When she encountered bandits in the Feisha Wasteland, Lu Changan's eloquent words saved her life.
Mr. Xu's elegant conversation and profound knowledge left a good impression on her.
"Junior Yun Ling is Mr. Xu... the maid in the dojo."
Yunling's tone was hesitant, not knowing how to accurately describe his relationship with Mr. Xu.
After all, she and Mr. Xu are not related, and their ages are one or two hundred years apart.
Although Mr. Xu gave her guidance, he did not accept a disciple. Yun Ling often helped with chores and errands, and through some strange combination of circumstances revealed the identity of the maid.
"Fairy Jiang came to visit in person, which made Xu frightened and frightened."
At this time, Lu Changan, who heard the sonic melody, came out of the manor to welcome him.
After many years, the two met again and greeted each other.
Jiang Ruotong smiled brightly: "Mr. Xu is too polite, let alone his identity as a third-level alchemist. When the pavilion master heard about the kindness he gave me, he was very grateful to him."
"If it weren't for the recent busy schedule, the master would have planned to visit Mr. Heyuan Oasis in person."
The current helmsman of Xuanyin Pavilion is the former most beautiful woman in the immortal cultivation world of Liang Kingdom, Master Niyue.
In the early years when Lu Changan was building the foundation, he had a startling glance in front of the Qingming Secret Realm and did not dare to look directly at it.
At that time, Lu Changan was not qualified to meet and talk with Fairy Niyue.
Now, Fairy Niyue has become the master of the fallen Xuanyin Pavilion, with a higher status.
What Jiang Ruotong said just now, that the Pavilion Master was going to visit in person, was mostly polite.
But it can be seen that Lu Changan, now a third-level alchemy master, has entered the sight of Master Niyue, attracted his attention, and has the intention to recruit him.
the other side.
Yun Ling watched Mr. Xu and Fairy Jiang enter the manor talking and laughing, feeling inexplicably depressed and uncomfortable.
Perhaps, only a female alchemy cultivator like Jiang Xianzi can be a good match for the elegant and knowledgeable Mr. Xu.
…
Yun Ling gritted her teeth and followed him into the manor, acting as a maid, serving tea and water.
Lu Changan glanced at her, half-smiling but not smiling.
With Jiang Ruotong's experience and vision, he could see that Yun Ling's maid was unprofessional and might have some hidden agenda.
"Mr. Xu, after more than ten years of separation and no news from you, we finally found your whereabouts."
Speaking of this, Jiang Ruotong's tone was slightly resentful.
Back then, Lu Changan had practiced cultivation in Scorpio Desert City for two years, but Jiang Ruotong and his daughters did not stay.
Before saying goodbye, Jiang Ruotong left his contact information for Lu Changan, but the latter did not take the initiative to contact him.
Xuanyin Pavilion is stationed in another fairy city in the "Outer Sect Alliance", which is far away.
Fortunately, the Heyuan oasis where Lu Changan is located can be considered a large oasis in the desert. Xuanyin Pavilion has learned about the whereabouts of "Mr. Xu" in recent years.
After confirming his identity, Jiang Ruotong came to visit in person as the elder of Zhendan.
"To cause trouble for Fairy Jiang, Xu is a poor fake elixir who dare not climb Xuanyin Pavilion, so he found a pure oasis to settle down."
Lu Changan expressed his apology.
Fairy Jiang heard the implication.
This mysterious Mr. Xu likes to practice quietly and does not want to cause trouble with the outside world.
Xuanyin Pavilion has many beautiful female cultivators who are proficient in music, attracting bees and butterflies.
If Lu Changan takes the initiative and involves too much, he may cause trouble for himself.
"I am here on behalf of the Pavilion Master this time, and I would like to entrust you with refining two precious elixirs. Mr. Xu will not refuse, right?"
Fairy Jiang smiled sweetly and explained her intention.
"No problem, what kind of elixir does Fairy Jiang want to refine?"
Lu Changan agreed immediately.
Jiang Xianzi glanced at Yun Ling and then communicated through a message.
Yun Ling stepped back knowingly.
"Yuehua Pill? Crystal Condensation Pill?"
"Can Fairy Jiang safely hand over such an important elixir to Xu?"
Lu Changan had a strange look on his face, slightly surprised.
Needless to say, the Crystal Condensation Pill is a strategic resource for advancing to the pill formation stage. Even the Nascent Soul forces need it, so the more the merrier.
Yue Hua Dan, a second-grade high-grade unpopular elixir, can enhance the bones and increase the beauty.
If female cultivators take it, the effect will be better.
Because it is relatively unpopular and difficult to refine, the success rate of second-level alchemists is low.
"I believe in Mr. Xu's character."
Fairy Jiang’s smiling voice.
Her personal judgment and intuition are only one aspect.
He left his contact information back then, but Lu Changan never took the initiative to contact him. This shows that he has no bad intentions towards Xuanyin Pavilion, at least he is not hostile.
In addition, Mr. Xu kept a low profile in Heyuan Oasis, did not cause trouble, and left a good reputation and credibility.
"The requirements for refining those two elixirs are not low, so Xu did his best."
Lu Changan promised to come down and negotiate with Jiang Xianzi about the remuneration.
Lu Changan has almost gathered the materials for the Crystal Condensation Pill he has on hand.
This time I am refining the elixir, just in time to warm my hands.
"During the alchemy period, can I stay at Shanshui Manor?"
Jiang Ruotong suggested.
"The right thing to do."
Lu Changan thought for a while and agreed.
When refining such a valuable elixir, the employer needs supervision and the right to know.
Even Master Hua, who was of poor character, was at the scene when he was refining the Foundation Building Pill.
If Fairy Jiang stayed at Fangshi Inn and went to and from the manor, she would be more eye-catching.
…
In the evening, Yun Ling left Shanshui Manor in a depressed mood.
"Fairy Jiang is very familiar with Mr. Xu and stayed at the manor overnight..."
She bit her cherry lips, thinking of the two talented men and beautiful women, chatting and laughing happily, and felt bad in her heart.
After knowing each other for so many years, Mr. Xu has never left him alone overnight.
Of course, she originally lived in the oasis and it was very close, so there was no need for this.
As a foundation-building female cultivator, although Yun Ling is not young, she has never had the experience of male-female emotions, so she is a little worried about gains and losses.
That night, Lu Changan arranged a guest room for Jiang Xianzi.
Nothing happened all night.
Jiang Ruotong, as the youngest true alchemy female cultivator of Xuanyin Pavilion, is a traditional classical style woman who is well-educated, gentle and polite, and will not be a monster.
Some aspects of her personality are similar to those of the eldest daughter of the Mu family back then.
The next day, Lu Changan started refining the elixir.
In the alchemy room, Jiang Ruotong kept a certain distance and sat elegantly, observing the alchemy process.
Lu Changan set up a layer of atomization restrictions around his arms, like a mosaic, covering up the alchemy technique.
Jiang Ruotong could clearly understand the general process of elixir refining and the number of elixirs produced.
Half a month passed by in a flash.
The process of Lu Changan's alchemy can be regarded as spending time with Fairy Jiang day and night.
In order to avoid affecting the alchemy, Jiang Xianzi kept quiet. During this period, she had almost no verbal communication with him, except for the occasional exchange of eyes.
Fortunately, he lived up to his mission, and Lu Changan successfully refined two precious elixirs, reaching the normal level of a third-level low-grade alchemist.
If an alchemist in the world of immortality accepts an alchemy entrustment and messes up, he will not be paid unless otherwise agreed.
If the refining is successful, the reward is usually between one and two percent of the total value of the elixir.
The specifics depend on the difficulty of refining the elixir and the reputation of the alchemist.
"Mr. Xu, this is your reward."
Jiang Ruotong raised her eyebrows and felt happy, and handed the heavy brocade bag containing the spiritual stones to Lu Changan.
The two walked out of the alchemy room, and Jiang Ruotong wanted to go back to recover.
Before leaving, Jiang Ruotong's clear eyes turned and stared at the elegant middle-aged man in green shirt who was very close at hand.
"The Pavilion Master asked me to express my sincerity and recruit Mr. Xu to join the Xuanyin Pavilion. If Mr. Xu agrees, the Pavilion Master will come to the oasis in person next time and treat me as a national scholar."
"Xu has no intention of joining the force for the time being. If he has the idea in the future, Xuanyin Pavilion will be given priority."
Lu Changan refused again, but did not block the road.
When he reaches the middle stage of pill formation, Shanshui Manor's small spiritual veins will be used for him and Xuan Shuigui to practice, which will seem reluctant.
At that time, either join the cultivating forces, or find a way to improve the spiritual level of Shanshui Manor.
Xuanyin Pavilion may be a choice in the future. At least we have dealt with each other and agreed with each other.
Once Lu Changan is promoted to the middle stage of Jindan, it will be difficult for him to meet his opponents under Nascent Soul.
Looking at Feng Yuan Kingdom, except for the Celestial Master who rarely came out of the Snow Mountain Holy Land, no one else could threaten his life.
By then, Lu Changan will have basically no natural enemies in the Outer Sect Alliance, and there is no need to worry about the minor troubles that may arise from joining Xuanyin Pavilion.
"The master of the pavilion promises that if Mr. Xu is willing, he can allow a Jurchen from this pavilion to become a Taoist couple with Mr. Xu."
Jiang Ruotong pursed her red lips, her clear eyes looking slightly erratic.
That clear and delicate face had a natural rosy glow.
When Lu Changan heard the sound of the string and knew its elegant meaning, he couldn't help but feel surprised and thought about it.
In order to recruit him, Xuanyin Pavilion spent a lot of money.
For most alchemy monks, it is a dream to get a female true alchemy cultivator who is proficient in music and can help both cultivation and mental state.
Seeing that Lu Changan did not respond.
Fairy Jiang seemed to be shy, so she bowed with her hands folded, said goodbye and flew away.
Everything is for the revitalization of Xuanyin Pavilion.
She doesn't mind sacrificing herself when facing a male cultivator who is kind and has a favorable impression.
But if Liu Shui is unintentional, she will never force it. She also has her own nobility and pride.
…
one year later.
With Lu Changan's secret support, the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce has developed smoothly, with smooth trade routes and abundant financial resources. As long as it cultivates true elixir monks, it is expected to become a giant in the oasis.
Through the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce, Lu Changan gathered all the materials for the Crystal Condensation Pill and the Life Extension Pill.
Nowadays, Crystal Condensation Pill can be refined at any time.
The longevity pill, because the third-level longevity fruit obtained is still ten or twenty years away from growing, and it has not yet reached the time to refine it.
Lu Changan is in a brewing state.
When in good condition, prepare to merge with the second life, refine the crystal condensation elixir, and strive for more points in the elixir.
Late that night, Duanlao quietly returned to Shanshui Manor.
Duan Lao masters the formations outside the manor, and as the owner, he can come back to check at any time.
Duanlao didn't come alone, he also brought with him a young man in black who was at the peak of foundation building.
"Zhenren Xu, in the next month or so, the spiritual pulse dojo in the manor will be rented to others for at least one month or two months to form elixirs."
Duanlao did not introduce the identity of the young man, but communicated with Lu Changan via message.
Regarding this point, both parties had an agreement when they signed the spiritual contract.
"Okay, I will go to Fangshi Inn in the next two months."
Lu Changan didn't have any objections. Although the spiritual energy in Fangshi was weak, using spiritual stones and elixirs for a short transition would not have much impact.
"No need, Zhenren Xu's stay in the manor will not hinder him. As long as he does not compete for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at the moment of impact."
He is old and fat, dressed in a wide robe, and his eyes are shrewd.
Lu Changan didn't care and continued to stay at the manor.
He didn't care much about the elixir formation of the young man in black. He was probably a descendant of a certain branch of the Fourth Life Master Lihuo.
With the vision of Nascent Soul, it is just an ordinary thing for a monk to attack the pill formation and not worthy of special attention.
Only by forming a golden elixir can the True Monarch Nascent Soul take a high look.
Half a month later.
The sky above the Shanshui Manor showed a scene of pill formation.
Lu Changan is proficient in divination, so he naturally knows how to read Qi. After a brief observation, he shook his head slightly.
It was at the most intense moment of Dan formation.
Lu Changan suddenly had a sense of induction and noticed the powerful and obscure spiritual consciousness. He penetrated the formation and observed the situation in the manor.
"It turns out to be here."
In the desert outside the Heyuan Oasis, a middle-aged man in iron clothes with thick eyebrows and a Chinese-character face flew over, and his body was filled with an iron-blooded killing aura.
Underneath the desert where Tie Yi's middle-aged man flew by, the rock rat's body was tense and he did not dare to breathe out, for fear of being discovered by others.
Looking at the area where the weather is located.
The middle-aged man in iron clothes flew into the Jiugang Sky above the oasis, overlooking it from a high position, carefully unfolded his spiritual consciousness, and explored the landscape manor.
"Is it him? Fang Zhen! As an elder of Lihuo Palace, what's the purpose of chasing him here and being so sneaky?"
Lu Changan's mind fused with his fourth life and Nascent Soul-level consciousness to detect the identity of the visitor.
This fusion state of the Nine-Seal Monument can only enjoy passive divine detection and cannot be used in combat.
It must be lit up in a certain life before it can be used, and the lit soul shadow will be slowly consumed.
"After so many years of retreat from the Fire Palace, this person has achieved a major cultivation in the late stage of pill formation. His strength surpasses that of me in the previous life, and he is enough to run rampant in this oasis."
Lu Changan frowned slightly. If this person had evil intentions, there would be no peace in this oasis, and he would not be able to practice stably in Shanshui Manor to the middle stage of pill formation.
A cold light flashed across his eyes, and he made up his mind:
"The Heyuan Oasis does not allow such a powerful monk to exist, which will affect my latent cultivation."
