In the guest room at the top of Wuye Town, two guests from afar lived, a man and a woman.
One of the members, a middle-aged monk in foreign service, had a round face, a fair face, and a slightly fatter smile. He gave people a kind feeling.
This person's cultivation in the later stage of foundation building is none other than Song Xi, the son of Shen Bixin.
"Grandpa, the one-year period has come. Will Master Changqing break the promise?"
In the guest room, there was also a girl with waterfall-like hair, bright eyes and white teeth, elegant and quiet, who seemed anxious and uneasy at the moment.
Because grandpa planned to give her to a real person as a maid.
"It's hard to say. Master Changqing's whereabouts are uncertain, and Master Jiang didn't explicitly say that he was looking for us. It's just our guess."
Song Xi's thoughts were uncertain. He was over one hundred and twenty years old, and he, who had always been calm, felt a little uneasy and anxious in his heart at this time.
After all, a promise made by that real person can determine his spiritual destiny for the rest of his life, and even determine the rise and fall of his family.
Even late-stage foundation-building ancestors who threaten one party will inevitably worry about gains and losses.
"I don't know if the relevant descriptions of "Evergreen Legend" are true or false..."
Shen Lian'er pursed her pink lips and was in a daze. When she thought about something, her pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly.
It is recorded in the Evergreen Legend that Lu Zhenren was handsome, handsome, and as gentle as jade. He was a rare handsome man in the world!
Therefore, when her grandfather mentioned that he would give her to a real person as a maid, Shen Lian'er did not reject it and even had some expectations in her heart.
For a young female cultivator like her with ordinary qualifications, this is a life opportunity where she can fly up a branch and become a phoenix.
Whoosh!
At this time, a telegraph note flew into the guest room and conveyed a message.
"Master Changqing has arrived!"
After Song Xi obtained the content of the transmission notes, his face glowed red, his expression was excited, and his voice had a slight vibrato.
He has been waiting for this moment for hundreds of years!
"You don't have to accompany Daoist Jiang in person!"
Lu Changan exchanged greetings with Jiang Yechen, and then went to the guest room where Song Xi and Song Xi were staying alone.
"Meet Master Changqing."
Song Xi’s grandfather and granddaughter saluted respectfully.
"You don't need to be polite after seeing an old friend."
Lu Changan waved his hand in an easy-going tone and looked at the two of them.
Song Xi, who is not a middle-aged member, has a pleasant smile, and the outline of his face can vaguely be seen as the fair-skinned boy that Shen Bixin brought with her when she congratulated her on the Dan Dan Ceremony.
What surprised Lu Changan was that this person also practiced the wood-type health-preserving skill. His physical condition was well maintained and there was almost no fighting.
"This is the granddaughter of this junior, Shen Lian'er."
The long-haired girl beside him, a Qi-refining monk, looks a bit like the former beauty Shen Bixin, but her temperament is somewhat inferior.
Shen Lian'er glanced at Master Chang Qing out of the corner of her eye, her face turned red and her heart skipped a beat, and she didn't dare to look directly.
"Um."
Lu Changan didn't care about the psychological activities of the two of them, and didn't even ask about the current situation of the Shen family and the Song family in detail.
He directly took out a jade box, pushed it with his elixir, and landed it in front of Song and Xi.
"According to the choice you and your mother-in-law made back then, this is the promise Lu has fulfilled."
Inside the jade box, there is an opportunity to form an elixir.
A slightly flawed Crystal Condensing Pill is only 10 to 20% less effective than the original product.
It was one of the three crystal condensation pills that Lu Changan refined back then.
In addition, there is also an excellent elixir-forming spiritual object.
Song Xi opened the jade box, his expression lifted, and his heart was ecstatic.
The long-awaited opportunity to form an elixir has arrived.
Changqing Zhenren is indeed a man of great promise and integrity, and "The Travels of the Black Turtle" will not deceive me!
"Thank you Master Lu for your gift. The Song family will remember it from generation to generation!"
Song Xi felt so moved that he bowed down immediately.
For this opportunity, he deliberately practiced health-preserving skills to prolong his life, avoid fights, give in when he could, and leave a more solid foundation.
The corresponding price is that Song Xi's fighting skills have always been at the bottom among his peers.
In addition, he was not good at business management, and after going through the Demonic War for nearly a hundred years, he failed to preserve the properties left by the Shen Family Chamber of Commerce and the Song Family.
Song Xi did not possess the exquisite skills of cultivating immortals, so he became the poorest monk in the late stage of foundation building in Jing Kingdom.
"The legacy of our old friend will eventually be exhausted, so you have to take care of yourself."
Lu Changan spoke calmly and left his last words. His figure blurred and disappeared from the guest room.
Song Xi was stunned for a while.
He tightly protected the chance of forming a pill in his hand. After being excited and excited, he gradually calmed down.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, he decided to ask Jiang Yechen to cultivate to the peak of foundation building in Wuye Town and form elixirs here.
"Grandpa, have you forgotten something?"
Shen Lian'er opened her mouth, her tone seemed to be filled with resentment.
"Forgot something?"
Song Xi solemnly put away the jade box and raised his eyelids lightly.
"Didn't you say that you want to give me to a real person as a maid..."
"Don't think too much! The real person grandpa is talking about is not Zhenren Lu, but someone else."
Song Xi said slowly.
"ah……"
Only then did Shen Lian'er realize that her grandfather only said that she would be given to a real person as a maid, but he did not mention her specific name.
She automatically thought of Master Lu.
Song Xijun glanced at her, and there were some things he couldn't say to avoid being spied on by the real people on the mountain.
He had always planned to give Shen Lian'er to Jiang Yechen as a maid.
Otherwise, this granddaughter would not be allowed to change her surname to Shen, not just because she looks like Shen Bixin.
Between Jiang Yechen and Lu Changan, Song Xi was actually more optimistic about the former's potential, including the influence of Liang Guo's number one loose cultivator.
Song Xi also practiced martial arts, but was weak in martial arts, and even regretted it.
If the fighting method is weak, it will be difficult to compete for opportunity benefits; if there is no resource harvest, the fighting method will be further weakened...
In his opinion, although Lu Changan is a legendary true elixir monk, he is not as good as Jiang Yechen in terms of potential and fighting skills.
Lu Changan is mainly a Xuan Shui Turtle with earth-level bloodline. He has no outstanding record and is older than Jiang Yechen.
Moreover, Jiang Yechen is a romantic type and values emotions more. When he sees a descendant who looks like Shen Bixin, he will somewhat miss his old relationship.
In contrast, Lu Changan was alone and looked down upon the relationship between men and women. Even if he was willing to accept Shen Lian'er as a maid, he would not receive any preferential treatment.
Song Xi's choice was not wrong.
Two months later, after several efforts, Jiang Yechen reluctantly agreed to accept Shen Lian'er as a maid.
A few years later, Song Xi called on his tribe to come over and settle down around Wuye Town.
…
half year later.
Lu Changan and Fairy Niyue took the chariot and magic weapon back to the Feng Yuan Kingdom sect's headquarters.
On the way back, Fairy Niyue was a little disappointed.
Not only was Liu Qingyan’s whereabouts not found.
The female cultivators of Xuanyin Pavilion who were living outside the country were lucky enough to find a few people, but they basically got married and had children and did not want to come back.
The top-level mountain gate of the third level of Xuanyin Pavilion is occupied by the sects of the Jinyang Sect camp, and there is no hope of recovery in this lifetime.
Even though she is a major cultivator of alchemy, Fairy Niyue feels sad when she sees things and has no choice but to deal with the cruel reality.
Xuanyin Pavilion, the cave of the chief guest.
After Lu Changan came back, he immediately took the third-level life-extending pill he had won through auction.
This is the fourth level three longevity pill he has taken.
"Extended life by thirty-two years."
Lu Changan opened his eyes. He had spent 120 years of his life to restore the full green color of Xuanteng, and finally got a small amount of blood back.
His total lifespan came to 1095.
Since he is more diligent in practicing divination, his longevity will also be slowly depleted over the years.
"The high-end resources purchased during this trip to the Guardian Alliance are enough to consume for many years."
Lu Changan sorted out the materials and felt calm.
The treasure materials for body refining are enough to supply to the late third level.
The materials to attack the third-level high-grade puppet master are also fully prepared.
Next, he will use more energy to attack the puppets and refine his body.
…
Time flies, twelve years have passed.
Lu Changan's age reached 280 years old.
As he had calculated and expected, Xuanyin Pavilion has developed smoothly in recent years. Miaoyin Pavilion has steadily made money in major immortal cities and maintained good relations with the major forces in the Outer Sect Alliance.
Among the younger generation of Xuanyin Pavilion, there are also some promising talents.
The only regret is that Fangcao Oasis only has third-level mid-grade spiritual veins, which have only been successfully cultivated for decades.
Unless there is a special opportunity, it is unlikely that the spiritual veins here will be promoted to the third level within two to three hundred years.
Fairy Niyue's practice efficiency will inevitably be affected.
She could only set up a spirit gathering array in the cave, invest more spirit stones, and supplement it with precious spirit pills.
Fortunately, it has little impact on Lu Changan.
It will take at least seventy years for him to cultivate from the middle stage of Jindan to the late stage of Jindan.
This year, there is bad news.
Lu Changan failed to create a third-level high-grade puppet.
Puppet skills failed to advance.
Third-level and low-level puppets are rare among all the major forces in the world of immortality.
A third-level high-grade puppet is comparable to a pill-forming overhaul and is rare in the world.
Placed in a sect like Jinyun Valley, it would definitely be an important weapon to suppress the sect and be enshrined as a Buddha.
Lu Changan was mentally prepared for failure. The difficulty of refining a third-level high-grade puppet was beyond the imagination of the world.
Fortunately, he is also a third-level high-grade weapon refiner who can maximize recycling, refine materials, and reduce losses.
"After recycling the materials, I can barely create a third-level high-grade puppet, but the success rate is only 30%."
In the secret room of the cave, Lu Changan looked at the materials piled up and dismantled in front of him, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Finally, he decided to adjust his thinking.
Instead of creating a new third-level high-grade puppet, it is better to strengthen and upgrade the existing mid-grade puppets.
The two puppet clones owned by Lu Changan were made of materials that have been tempered and strengthened for many years. They are both of the same level of quality, and their strength is comparable to that of a monk at the peak of the mid-stage pill formation.
"I am very familiar with the structural principles of these two puppet clones, especially the assassin puppet. If they are slowly transformed, strengthened, and upgraded to a third-level high-grade one, it will be slightly less difficult than making it brand new."
Lu Changan's re-formulated plan will maximize the advantages of a third-level high-grade weapon refiner.
Other puppet masters, even if they have this idea, do not have such conditions.
In addition to the bad news, Lu Changan also received good news.
After being promoted to the middle stage of Golden Elixir, his efficiency in cultivating treasure talismans has improved significantly.
The two most powerful talismans, the quality reaches the fourth level threshold!
When these two treasure talismans were refined more than a hundred years ago, they were the foundation of the third-level high-quality talismans, and they were nourished by the magical power of the Evergreen Golden Pill all year round.
In addition, there are six treasure talismans, reaching the third level limit.
The rest of the treasure talismans are basically the third-level mid-to-high-grade ones.
The birth of the fourth-level treasure talisman gave Lu Changan more diverse trump cards.
Lu Changan couldn't help but look to the future: twenty or thirty years later, he would be promoted to the late stage of Jindan, take into account the third-level high-grade body refining, and cultivate more fourth-level treasure talismans.
By then, when he faced the ordinary Nascent Soul Lord, he would not only be able to protect himself, he would even have the ability to maneuver and scheme.
Of course, it is still unrealistic to want to compete head-on.
Even with the possession of the fourth life, the huge gap in mana cannot be made up.
Unless you can obtain the core inheritance of Qianji Sect, refine the puppet array, and create a supernatural puppet that imitates the five-color peacock true spirit.
…
Lu Changan was in a good mood and invited Fairy Niyue to come to his house to taste tea and listen to music.
The way of cultivating immortals must be relaxed and relaxed, so that you can maintain your long-term state of mind and mental strength.
Mental strength comes from the monk's faith, fighting spirit, and determination.
This kind of mental energy is not inexhaustible and needs to be adjusted and restored.
Monks who are truly reduced to cultivation machines are insensitive, lack spirituality, are inefficient, are prone to mental obstacles, and often have low achievement ceilings.
The female Yin Dao cultivators of Xuanyin Pavilion can help replenish mental energy and break through mental barriers.
"Over there in the Beast King Valley, the demonic war hasn't started yet?"
After listening to the song, Lu Changan felt calmer and asked.
The thirty-year armistice agreement signed between the Beast King Valley and the Wei Dao Alliance not only expired, but also lasted for more than two years.
In the past two years, the Demonic War has not been reopened.
"Not yet, but the Beast King Valley is ready to move. They have mobilized an army of demonic monks, the fourth-level Beast King..."
Fairy Niyue shook her head and glanced at Lu Changan. She always felt that the man in front of her wished that the demonic war would be fought.
Today, the Miaoyin Tower of Xuanyin Pavilion has established a complete intelligence network, which is not limited to the outer sect alliance area.
Due to the good relationship with the Snow Mountain Holy Land and the friendly exchanges, the Miaoyin Tower began to be deployed in the deserted tribal city without any obstruction from the local forces.
This is not Lu Changan's credit.
Instead, Fairy Qiu of Xuanyin Pavilion and the Heavenly Master of Snow Mountain Holy Land gradually developed feelings for each other.
According to Ni Yue, Fairy Qiu was trapped by love and couldn't help but secretly see the Heavenly Master. The two parties also exchanged letters.
Based on her intuition and experience, Fairy Niyue was not optimistic about this relationship, but she did not dare to intervene to stop it.
"Lu Lang is so looking forward to the start of the Demonic War? Isn't it the secret agent planted by the Ten Sects of Xuanmen in the Eastern Territory of Daqing?"
Fairy Niyue smiled sweetly, with her graceful and undulating figure, nestled in Lu Changan's arms, and spoke to test her.
Lu Changan, a casual cultivator, could achieve such achievements, his strength is unfathomable, and he can overwhelm the major cultivators of alchemy.
Fairy Niyue thinks that he has a great background, maybe he is the layout of the ten sects of Xuanmen.
"That's right! Lu is a reincarnated monk arranged by the Ten Sects of Xuanmen. The purpose is to muddy the water in the Daqing East Region and prevent the Six Demonic Sects from recuperating in such a stable manner."
Lu Changan's eyes were sharp and his words were loud.
"Such a secret...Lu Lang is actually willing to tell me?"
Fairy Niyue was stunned and covered her lips with her hands, half-believing and half-doubtful.
Immediately, she was as tender as water, like a bird, with an expression of touching admiration, and continued to probe and inquire.
Lu Changan lied quietly, secretly amusing himself.
The demonic war was fought fiercely, which was good for Lu Changan.
Involving the Valley of the Beast King and not causing trouble is the second best thing now.
After practicing for decades in the middle stage of Golden elixir, the late stage of Golden elixir is no longer far away.
When you reach the later stage of the Golden Elixir, you have to plan for opportunities for the Nascent Soul.
Lu Changan has always planned ahead and made arrangements in advance.
With several lifetimes of experience and Yuanying vision, Lu Changan knew the origins of casual cultivators. In Daqing, there was almost no way to advance to Yuanying.
True Monarch Nascent Soul, looking at all realms of Tianyan Continent, is an absolute top boss, dominating the destiny of all people in the world.
However, the upper channels for promotion to Nascent Soul, including fourth-level spiritual veins, infant-forming spiritual objects, etc., are basically controlled by the great forces of immortal cultivation.
In peacetime, Lu Changan had no other way to advance except for plotting Xia Wenyue's Taiyin Jade Liquid.
If you want to be among the true kings, you must make big changes and subvert the old order!
The magic war is an opportunity to subvert the existing order.
In the previous Demonic War, the Nascent Soul Sect in the Wei Dao League was not completely wiped out, mainly due to the intervention of Zhenjun Lingyu.
If the Demonic War becomes more brutal, it will be a common occurrence for Yuanying Zhenjun to fall and large sects to be destroyed.
By then, Lu Changan, who has been promoted to Jindan Overhaul, will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and seek the opportunity of Nascent Soul.
This is not just the opportunity Lu Changan has been waiting for.
It is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for small and medium-sized sects such as Jinyun Valley and Xuanyin Pavilion to advance to higher ranks!
A few years ago, Lu Changan calculated that at least in the Eastern Daqing Region, this would be his biggest opportunity to seek promotion channels.
If he relied solely on his own foundation, the blessing of his previous life, and the assistance of Taiyin Jade Liquid, he would only be 70% sure of being promoted to Nascent Soul in the future.
Such a low success rate was completely unacceptable to Lu Changan.
…
Two years later.
The demonic invasion war that Lu Changan had been waiting for started again.
Both sides rested for many years and recovered a lot of their strength. As soon as the war started, the Nascent Soul War broke out.
at the same time.
In the center of Feng Yuan Kingdom, on the holy mountain covered with ice and snow.
Wearing a snow-white master's robe, Feng Yuan Tianshi, who has a clear face and silver eyebrows, is sitting beside the chessboard in front of the cottage.
The chessboard is a divination wonder, and the grid on it is like an invisible web of fate, changing and intersecting with the chess pieces.
"As expected, the ten sects of Xuanmen are interfering behind the scenes. However, this time, the six sects of the Demonic Dao are taking action, and the mysterious 'Master of the Wujian Sect' may be dispatched. The ten sects of Xuanmen are too far apart, and ultimately beyond their reach..."
Tianshi's silver eyebrows frowned slightly, his expression was not optimistic.
During the Demonic War thirty years ago, he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, because he sensed traces of the interference of the Ten Sects of Xuanmen, and figured that the Daqing East Territory could withstand it.
But now, the secrets of heaven are becoming more and more profound, especially the leaders of Xuanmen and Demonic Ways are participating in the game, or even directly intervening.
His divination skills can only be said to be unique in the Daqing East Region. If you include the Central Region, there are many capable people who can rival him.
"Hey! Is that Mr. Turtle who can't see the real details and is suspected to have the help of Nascent Soul really a secret chess set up by the ten sects of Xuanmen?"
The Heavenly Master pinched his fingers to calculate and showed a strange expression.
A year or two ago, he accidentally captured an uncertain element of heavenly secrets. Lu Changan might be the secret agent of the ten Xuanmen sects.
However, this hint of mystery is not certain.
It may be something that someone has heard and recognized. It may be someone else's plan that misleads the secrets.
When a Heavenly Master acts, he pays attention to knowing himself and the enemy.
He will not act rashly when it comes to things he cannot see clearly, such as Lu Changan, who is suspected of having Nascent Soul's help.
Fairy Qiu in Xuanyin Pavilion was actually a chess piece set by him. Through this woman's information medium, he understood Lu Changan's intentions and heel.
Through years of understanding and calculation, he confirmed that Lu Changan was at least not hostile and consistent with his own interests.
"It seems that we need to speed up the progress and find an opportunity to negotiate with that kid."
If it is not necessary, he should not leave the Snow Mountain Holy Land, especially the local area of Feng Yuan Kingdom, but the method of communicating with the outside world is not difficult.
The Heavenly Master's pupils were like two rotating points of thick ink. As he slowly turned, he had something to worry about in his heart.
