"By the way, I inspected ancient books a few years ago and found relevant records about the 'Tinghai Pavilion'."
Master Shixianzi added at the end.
"Tinghai Pavilion?"
Over the years, Lu Changan has neglected to explore information about this ancient sect.
After all, this sect is not a force in Daqing Realm. Whether it exists now is a question and it is difficult to attract attention.
Fairy Shi handed a jade slip to Lu Changan, which contained not only detailed maps of the interior of the ancient ruins, but also records from ancient books related to "Tinghai Pavilion".
After Lu Changan looked it up, he thought deeply.
Tinghai Pavilion is an ancient sect located on the east coast of Tianyan Continent, with a history of at least 20,000 years.
When the sect was at its peak, a god-turned-celestial king was born, who was once the strongest overlord in the coastal waters, even threatening the outer seas.
Even in normal times, Tinghai Pavilion basically has Nascent Soul monks, whose strength exceeds any top sect in Daqing.
The information recorded in ancient books is separated by a long time, at least thousands of years, and the information may not be accurate.
Today, the specific situation of Tinghai Pavilion is unknown.
The realm of cultivation where Tinghai Pavilion is located is called Dayuan. The civilization of cultivating immortals is far more prosperous than that of Daqing and Dakun.
"Dayuan?"
The rough map of Tianheng Continent known to Lu Changan was obtained from the memory of the fourth life. It does not have the mark of Dakun in the previous life, but there is the mark of Dayuan.
It is speculated from this that Dayuan's civilization of cultivating immortals should be more than one level stronger than Qingzhou and Kunzhou, and it belongs to the earth realm on Tianyan Continent.
Judging from the azimuth and distance on the map, Daqing is very far away from the Great Abyss, spanning at least five or six boundaries.
Lu Changan was confused. With such a long distance, it was very difficult for Tinghai Pavilion to set up a secret shelter in Daqing.
It would be possible if only a few Nascent Soul Lords came over. But judging from the scale of the ancient ruins, there were not only one or two Nascent Soul Lords, but also other monks.
"Could it be that there is a transmission channel or a space rift between the two realms?"
Lu Changan once obtained part of the memory of Baisu Soul Gu.
The main soul Gu comes from Zhongzhou in Tianyan Continent. By chance, he passed through the space rift and escaped to this land.
The Tianyan Continent is vast and vast. It is the birthplace and main area of the civilization of cultivating immortals in the human world. Since ancient times, there have been some spatial cracks in various places.
Some of those space cracks were born naturally, and some were left behind by powerful fighting techniques from ancient times. They are often accompanied by unusual dangers and are located in certain forbidden areas.
For example, the "Xingyue Jue" obtained by Lu Changan was the ancestor of the Xingyue Merchant Guild. He was chased by a powerful enemy and passed through overseas forbidden areas and accidentally arrived at Tianyan Continent.
…
On that day, Lu Changan did not spend the night at Shixianzi Cave.
Before leaving, he took out a rare treasure and gave it to Shi Xianzi's adopted son "Shi Xiaochuan" as a meeting gift.
At the top of Wuye Town, Jiang Yechen, the host, took the initiative to say goodbye to Lu Changan.
Jiang Yechen mentioned something to Lu Changan about Shen Bixin's descendants.
After Shen Bixin and her husband passed away, their descendants did not fare well as they wished. In addition, the Demonic War swept across the country, and the original Tengxing Chamber of Commerce fell into pieces.
After the truce in the Demonic War, Song Xi, a descendant of Shen Bixin, approached Wuye Town, hoping to be taken care of by Jiang Yechen.
Jiang Yechen and Shen Bixin had broken off their relationship for more than a hundred years. They were already disheartened and their love was exhausted, so they gave her a small profit and threw it away.
However, Lu Changan still owed Shen Bixin a promise, which he had not repaid.
Later, people originally wanted to find Changqing Zhenren, but Jiang Yechen just came along.
It's a pity that Changqing Zhenren has disappeared for so many years and his traces are hard to find.
Lu Changan recalled the last time he met Shen Bixin at the Qingsha Bay in Jingguo during the elixir knotting ceremony.
At that time, Shen Bixin came with her son Song Xi to congratulate her, and wanted Lu Changan to accept him as a disciple.
Lu Changan didn't really want to accept a disciple, but he couldn't refuse forcefully.
Therefore, Shen Bixin and her son were given two choices.
First, he promised to have a named disciple and did not have much energy to preach.
Secondly, if Shen Bixin's son is found before building a foundation or forming a pill, Lu will give him a chance to be promoted.
After weighing the situation, Shen Bixin and her son chose the latter.
Ninety-six years have passed since what happened back then.
It's not that Lu Changan broke the contract. He had been in refuge for the past sixty years. He was not stable and had no chance to repay.
When Shen Bixin's descendants wanted to fulfill their promise, he was not in the Weidao League and almost forgot about it.
"I would like to trouble you, Daoyou Jiang, to contact Daoyou Shen's descendants. A year later, in Wuye Town, Mr. Lu will fulfill his promise."
Lu Changan entrusted Jiang Yechen to contact him. As the latter was the number one casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom, this matter was naturally not difficult.
He doesn't want to go to the Jing Kingdom to cultivate immortality at the moment.
Who knows if the son of luck from the middle region of Daqing is still in Jing Kingdom?
If you bump into this person and discover your secret, you will lose more than you gain.
Fortunately, the middle-region monk who was practicing the "Evergreen Kung Fu" was not the True Lord Ling Yu who was in the middle Nascent Soul stage.
If so, at this distance, the Golden Elixir Dao Fruit should at least have a vague inspiration.
In addition, the Tianluo Sect, which had a grudge against Lu Changan, is now also stationed in Jing Kingdom. In the early years, he was wanted and offered a reward to Lu Changan.
Lu Changan has not forgotten the grudges from back then, and will wait until Patriarch Tianluo's longevity to settle the matter.
…
Two days later.
Lu Changan left Wuye Town and parted ways with Fairy Niyue.
Lu Changan has personal matters to deal with.
Fairy Niyue went to revisit her old place to look for the lost female cultivators of Xuanyin Pavilion, especially Liu Qingyan, who had been promoted to true elixir.
Half a month later.
In the Black Mist Mountains, there is a formation hall built on the swamp where the ancient ruins are located.
Whoosh!
A foundation-building young man in Jinyang Sect clothing passed the identity verification at the entrance of the ruins hall, paid the spirit stone, and entered the ruins.
"There is only one old true elixir monk in charge. It seems that the Jinyang Sect camp really does not pay attention to this place and has not obtained any major opportunities or secrets."
Lu Changan, the disguised foundation-building young man, thought to himself.
The world of immortality has been inherited for countless thousands of years, and ancient caves, ruins, and miniature secret realms have been excavated from time to time in various places.
For the Nascent Soul Sect, these are not unusual.
In the eyes of the outside world, it is suspected that Master Changqing got the opportunity to form an elixir here, and the formation inheritance that Shi Xianzi obtained is a third-level opportunity.
Later, during the sect's exploration, the highest opportunity obtained was also at the third level.
Lu Changan revisited his old place. The ruins were surrounded by vast plains, and all the formation restrictions were broken.
A full seven days.
Lu Changan explored every corner of the ruins and found almost nothing.
Today's ruins are more like an archaeological exploration attraction, where you can study the remaining ancient formations and occasionally find old objects from recent antiquity.
There are also some restricted and low-level insect beasts that are not very threatening. It is estimated that the sect deliberately kept them to provide training and increase experience for the disciples.
"As expected, that miniature secret space no longer exists."
When Lu Changan came to the center of the secret realm, the hexagonal palace treasure house was completely reduced to ruins.
The small space hidden above it had already collapsed, causing a chain reaction that destroyed all surrounding buildings.
When the specific location is determined.
Exploring with Nascent Soul's sensory vision, one can barely discover that there were slight traces of space collapse in that void.
Lu Changan used divination techniques to secretly calculate the whereabouts of Tinghai Pavilion and the related causes and effects.
As a result, there was no resistance from Tongtian, but the hexagrams were unclear, too far away, and there were few clues.
Lu Changan judged that due to the changes in Xuan Teng and being tracked by the gods, even if Tinghai Pavilion existed now, it was in decline.
"For the Liang Guo Sect, the most we can dig into is the humanities and history of the ancient sect. I don't know the real secrets, at least there is no information about Xuan Teng."
"If there is any trouble, unless the descendants of Tinghai Pavilion come to find them..."
After repeated inspections, Lu Changan determined that there were no obvious traces left.
Although there are traces of the collapse point in the small secret space, the Nascent Soul Lord of the Jinyang Sect does not know the specific location, so the probability of discovering it is low.
Even if he is aware of it, he cannot associate it with Xuan Teng out of thin air.
Lu Changan basically felt relieved and left the Black Mist Mountains where the ancient ruins were located.
Half a day later.
The ancient ruins are located hundreds of miles away in the mountains.
A broken and broken stone pillar buried in the mountain body showed subtle spiritual patterns, which only lasted for half a breath, and then faded away.
The spiritual patterns on the damaged stone pillars will appear faintly every ten days, conveying some kind of invisible and obscure fluctuations.
…
In the blink of an eye, nearly a year has passed.
Lu Changan appeared in different identities in high-level fairy cities in Liang and Feng Kingdoms, including the transcendent and neutral Wangyue Fairy City, to purchase resources.
The third-level high-grade puppet materials and the late third-level body-refining treasure materials are rare and hard to find even in the vast Feng Kingdom and even in the aloof and neutral Mochizuki Immortal City.
In order to improve efficiency, Lu Changan not only participated in auctions, but also had puppet clones trade in the black market.
There are a lot of stolen goods in the black market, and there are inevitably risks in the transaction process.
During this period, I met a black-hearted profiteer who robbed Xiu.
Even in the case of fishing and law enforcement, the newly obtained stolen goods were tracked by the monks of the original sect, which was a bizarre coincidence.
However, in the face of absolute strength, all those conspiracies and tricks are nothing.
If there is some trouble, the puppet clones and rock rats are enough to solve it, and Lu Changan does not need to take action.
After nearly a year of purchasing transactions, Lu Changan successfully collected the remaining materials needed for a third-level high-grade puppet, and even had a lot of surplus.
To attack the third-level high-grade puppet master, one material may not be enough, the more the better.
Fortunately, even if the refining of high-quality puppets fails, they will not be scrapped and part of them can be recycled.
Lu Changan is also a third-level high-grade weapon refiner who can refine materials, which is beneficial to strengthening and improving the puppet's grade.
On this day, Lu Changan arrived at the last stop of his trip.
Fengguo, Xueyue City.
Within the sphere of influence of Proud Moon Palace, a large-scale auction held once every ten years is underway.
In this auction, there were many traces of immortal golden elixirs and elixir-building overhauls, and the scene was lively.
"The Five Directions Tribulation Stone! It is an excellent treasure to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation of the Nascent Soul. It can reduce the injuries of the infant-forming person in the thunder and save mana..."
"Is there any higher offer? Although this calamity-saving treasure is a one-time consumable, it is a rare and top-quality item, a strategic item comparable to the infant-forming spiritual item!"
On the auction stage, the passionate old man's voice echoed throughout the audience.
In one of the VIP rooms, Chang Lu quietly watched and did not take any action.
He is also a cultivator, his physical body is strong, and he has the power of golden elixir, so there is no need to pursue particularly good thunder-transforming items.
As a one-time consumable, the price is quite high.
Some pill-forming overhauls that are not strong enough may have been beaten to death during the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, so they urgently need this item.
For Lu Changan, the Infant Transformation Pill and the Infant Formation Spiritual Object have higher priority.
There are several types of infant-forming spiritual objects, including improving the quality of mana, the intensity of spiritual consciousness, and concentrating one's mind...
Among them, spiritual objects that can help break down obstacles and resist inner demons are the most rare and precious.
Lu Changan did not take action at this time to avoid attracting attention.
Bidding for a calamity stone means that someone is going to have a baby, which is very high-profile.
Before that, he bid for a third-level life-extending pill, including the top-level third-level and close to fourth-level treasures, so he took it as soon as it was good.
Since there were elixir-forming major cultivators and golden elixir cultivators on the field, Lu Changan did not let the clone puppet show his holiness in front of others.
The auction ended and the monks from all parties dispersed.
"Junior sister Wenyue, how was the harvest from this auction?"
From one of the VIP rooms, several female alchemy cultivators with cold temperaments, like the bright moon, flew out.
She was a high-level female cultivator from Aoyue Palace. She had a noble status and enjoyed privileges in Xueyue City.
"That is Fairy Xuan Bing!"
"The innate Tao body of Proud Moon Palace, the Nascent Soul Seed!"
One of them, a female cultivator wearing a white-gown skirt, attracted a lot of attention.
This woman is about 20 years old, her eyes are like a cold lake in late autumn, her temperament is as clear as snow, her waist is slim and graceful, her hair reaches her waist, her eyebrows seem to have a faint mist of sadness, she looks like a lonely fairy in an ice palace.
It gives people a sense of indifference and world-weary asceticism.
"I haven't seen this woman's temperament change so much in more than a hundred years..."
Lu Changan glanced at him from a distance and flew away from Xueyue City without stopping.
He speculated that Xia Wenyue's change in temperament was affected by the practice of martial arts and the growth environment in which Yin in Aoyue Palace was strong and Yang was weak.
It’s not like Lu Changan has never seen the ice-beautiful fairy in the world of immortality.
The former Master Han Yu was a representative. But Master Han Yu's coldness was partly a disguised mask to enhance his identity and reject some suitors.
At this moment, Xia Wenyue's aloof and cold temperament was truly chilling from spirit to form, penetrating to the bones.
Seeing each other again after a hundred years, Lu Changan felt a little strange.
"However, this woman's cultivation progress is slightly faster than expected..."
Lu Changan was satisfied with this.
Xia Wenyue was promoted to Jiedan about forty or fifty years ago.
Now, this woman has touched the peak of the early stage of pill formation and is not far from the middle stage.
This kind of speed of catching up in practice is quite normal for top geniuses.
Because, the later the realm, the longer the training time required.
For example, it took Lu Changan a Jiazi to cultivate from the early stage to the middle stage of pill formation.
Xia Wenyue, on the other hand, went from foundation building to pill formation in just a short period of time, and was in the same realm as Lu Changan.
Lu Changan formed the elixir for the first time a few years later than Xia Wenyue established the foundation, and the subsequent three elixir formations were delayed by several years.
Based on Xia Wenyue's current cultivation progress, Lu Changan estimated that by the time he was promoted to the late stage of the Golden Core, Xia Wenyue would have been in the middle stage of the Core Formation for at least many years.
…
A few days later, Lu Changan left the Fengguo Immortal Cultivation World and harvested a wealth of materials, including third-level longevity pills, and returned home with a full load.
Seeing Xia Wenyue at the auction was just a coincidence.
In the sphere of influence of Aoyue Palace, he learned about an important event.
Xia Wenyue's master, the Immortal Golden Pill of the past, has now been promoted to the True Lord of Nascent Soul and took over the position of Palace Master.
The old palace master's life was short, and he was seriously injured in the demonic battlefield. His magic power was greatly reduced, and he had to retreat to the second line.
In the case of Aoyue Palace, the succession of Nascent Soul Lord has been successfully completed without any gaps.
A month later, Lu Changan returned to Wuye Town on the eastern border of Liang Kingdom.
In the guest room at the top of Wuye Town, Shen Bixin's descendants have been waiting for many days.
