The third-order formation of Big Sun Peak is still in operation.
No one knew that the people in Da Ri Peak Cave Mansion were emptied out, and Master Changqing and his spiritual pets disappeared together.
It was not until half a year later that Master Jiedan in Jinyun Valley finally realized: "Master Lu ran away again..."
Lu Changan, who lit up the fourth life, quietly left Jinyun Valley without informing anyone, including Zhang Tianfeng.
However, half a year ago, Lu Changan made a deal with Zhang Tianfeng.
In fact, it is mainly about selling stolen goods.
A few years ago, Lu Changan packed up a lot of stolen goods, mostly magic weapons, from the three people who killed True Lord Chahai, including the Wujianmen, and sold them to Zhang Tianfeng.
Of course, Lu Changan made some adjustments to the appearance and characteristics of the magic weapon.
Seeing the pile of stolen goods, Zhang Tianfeng's eyelids jumped. It was estimated that at least two major alchemy cultivators and many true alchemy cultivators were destroyed.
In the elixir-forming stage, only late-stage overhauls can barely control high-grade magic weapons, and the refining of the latter requires fourth-level materials.
The price Lu Changan sold the stolen goods was lower than the market price. Zhang Tianfeng also needed gold and iron materials and to expand the sect's war reserve. The two parties hit it off and completed the deal.
Lu Changan traded quasi-fourth-level materials from Zhang Tianfeng, including fourth-level non-gold and iron materials.
These materials are helpful for creating supernatural puppets and improving the quality of quasi-fourth-level puppets.
A few months before leaving, the Charming Puppet was upgraded to the third level of high quality.
It became the second third-level high-grade puppet made by Lu Changan himself.
At the same time, the quality of the quasi-fourth-level blue-armored puppet has been slightly improved after adding materials and refining it.
Except trading.
Lu Changan entrusted Zhang Tianfeng to leave an opportunity for Zhao Tan'er.
In addition to the tailor-made magic weapon and life-saving talisman, there is also a level-breaking elixir in the late stage of elixir formation.
The level-breaking elixir in the later stage of elixir formation is a more precious strategic elixir than the crystal condensation elixir.
Lu Changan's alchemy skills were not enough to refine this elixir, so he got it from the trophies of True Lord Chahai. Lord Chahai originally planned to use it to motivate and spur his men.
Taking the level-breaking pill does not guarantee that you will be promoted to the later stage of overhaul, but it only increases the success rate.
Moreover, using this elixir to advance to the later stage of elixir formation will have a certain impact on the potential, which means that the stamina is insufficient and it will be more difficult to condense the Nascent Soul in the future.
Whether or not to take this elixir depends on Zhao Tan'er's decision. This woman has been cultivating to the peak of the middle stage of elixir formation for more than ten years.
…
Before going to Feng Kingdom, Lu Changan cultivated the immortal world in Liang Kingdom and made secret visits to several places.
One, the Zhou family who controls beasts.
Lu Changan was implicated in Zhou Qingxuan's death and owed the Zhou family, so he decided to compensate him before leaving.
The impact of the turmoil back then has subsided. During the war, the death of a fake elixir master would not attract much attention.
After lighting up the fourth life, Lu Changan's ability to protect himself greatly increased.
He was certain that the ambush in Beast King Valley had failed at a high cost, and he would no longer be able to target him in the short term.
Except for my own grandfather, no one in the Beast King Valley would work so hard for the Peacock Saint. The selfishness and cruelty of the Demonic Sect is even worse than that of the sects in the Guardian Alliance.
Even so, Lu Changan investigated in advance and cooperated with the divination to confirm that Zhou Tianchi, the head of the Zhou family, was not bribed by the Beast King Valley at the moment.
In this way, a third-level high-grade puppet clone was allowed to play his own role, secretly visit the Zhou family of the beast master at night, and meet with the clan leader Zhou Tianchi.
"Tianchi, I have met Uncle Lu."
In the clan leader's cave, Zhou Tianchi was shocked to find a man in white mysteriously appearing in front of his bed.
After Zhou Qingxuan disappeared and died, Zhou Tianchi tried to contact Lu Changan, but was not received by the latter.
Zhou Tianchi was disappointed with this, thinking that he was just leaving the tea, and Changqing didn't want to have anything to do with the Zhou family.
"Qingxuan died in the Wujianmen assassination, and Lu has a certain responsibility for this. Come here this time, I will give compensation to the Zhou family."
Lu Changan did not elaborate on the reason and covered up the matter of Tinghai Pavilion.
He got straight to the point and gave Zhou Tianchi two choices.
First, if you fulfill your promise now, you can get a third-level puppet and a third-level high-quality talisman.
Secondly, the favor is reserved for the future and given to the descendants of the Zhou family who control the beasts.
Zhou Tianchi did not hesitate, chose the former, and fulfilled his promise immediately.
Nowadays, the magic war is fierce, that is, combat power is more important.
Third-level puppets and third-level high-quality talismans can greatly enhance their personal strength.
"From now on, there will be no debt between me and the beast-controlling Zhou family."
Lu Changan left a storage bag and left.
Zhou Tianchi opened the storage bag, scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, and was overjoyed.
With this opportunity, his true strength will stand out among the alchemy monks.
"Sister-in-law Qingxuan doesn't have much life left, so she used her last years to get this opportunity. For the Zhou family, this is a good deal..."
Zhou Tianchi murmured in his heart, with a hint of shame in his eyes, which was quickly diluted by excitement.
…
That evening.
In the center of the Liang Kingdom, the Jinyang Sect is where the fourth-level spiritual veins are located.
An inner disciple in the foundation building stage returned to the mountain gate.
The inner disciple did not return to his residence and came to a cliff near the Jinyang Sect's Sutra Collection Pavilion.
On a huge rock, a lazy woman was lying half-lying, basking in the sun.
The simple maid's dress cannot hide her beauty, which is as noble and gorgeous as a peacock.
This woman's bare and white lotus feet, her slender calves above her crystal ankles, are wearing a Nascent Soul-level forbidden magic ring.
When it moves its calf or walks, the chain on the lock ring collides, and a clear "ding-ding" sound will be heard.
Standing dozens of feet apart, the inner disciples looked at the exotic and stunning woman with great interest.
Situations like this are not uncommon in Jinyang Sect, and the Peacock Saint is used to it.
However, Brother Pulu could not approach or talk to the Peacock Saint, and was secretly monitored by masters from the Jinyang Sect.
In the past few years, incredible and interesting things have happened related to the Peacock Saint.
There was once a disciple of the Jinyang Sect who habitually came to look at the Peacock Saint every day, but was not even qualified to talk to her.
However, after looking at her for a long time, the Jinyang Sect disciple couldn't help but fall in love with the Peacock Saint.
One night, the disciple expressed his love through the air and was captured by the Jinyang Sect Law Enforcement Hall and expelled from the school.
The Peacock Saint's magic power was banned, and she never cast any spells from beginning to end. The masters of the Jinyang Sect who were secretly monitoring her could testify.
Just her daily appearance and smile can have such an effect, which shows the charm of the Peacock Saint.
At this moment, the Peacock Saint, who was half lying on the rock, suddenly felt a strange feeling.
She raised her eyelids and looked at the inner disciples of Jinyang Sect in the distance with her quiet and calm eyes.
The disciple looked ordinary and looked at the Peacock Saint with a smile.
The Peacock Saint was confused and immediately waved her hand:
"Junior brother over there, come over and have a chat with sister?"
"I am flattered by the invitation from the saint. However, I have not received the sect's permission, so I am not qualified to approach..." The inner disciples were confused.
"I asked you to come here and obey me."
The Peacock Saint's eyes were soft and charming, and she communicated with the master of Jinyang Sect who was secretly protecting her, and got the answer.
This kind of situation happened more than once. The Peacock Saint was restricted from freedom and would look for someone to chat with when she was bored.
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."
The inner disciple smiled helplessly, walked to the rock, and sat upright under the legs of the Peacock Saint.
While chatting, the inner disciple looked calm and did not avoid the beautiful eyes of the Peacock Saint.
After close contact and collecting information media, the inner disciples were secretly surprised:
"The Jinyang Sect is really so afraid of the Beast King Valley and True Lord Wanhe. The Peacock Saint has been a hostage for more than a month, and yet she is still in perfect condition?"
"May I ask the saint, do you miss your home in the Valley of the Beast King?"
The inner disciple asked curiously.
The Peacock Saint was startled and said calmly: "When the Beast King Valley captures the Feng and Liang Kingdoms, I will naturally be able to return to the Beast King Valley unscathed."
She looked at the inner disciple coldly: "Who are you?"
"I'm just an admirer of the saint."
When the inner disciple said this, he looked frivolous.
Suddenly he stretched out two fingers and touched the slender jade-like lotus feet of the Peacock Saint, touching the gracefully curved center of the feet.
The Peacock Saint's soles felt itchy, and she couldn't help being shocked and extremely embarrassed.
"Be bold!"
There was a loud roar of thunder, and as soon as the inner disciple's fingers touched the soles of the saint's feet, his consciousness blackened and he fainted.
"The disciples of our sect are ignorant and frightened the saint."
Several figures arrived in an instant and took down the injured inner disciple for torture.
After verification, there was no problem with the identity of the inner disciple. When he was talking to the saint, he was carefully scanned by the master who was secretly monitoring him with his spiritual consciousness.
At this moment, after in-depth investigation, it was found that there were some traces in his sea of consciousness, and that he had been controlled by a strange forbidden secret technique.
In fact, it has happened before that the top brass of the Beast King Valley came into contact with the Saint in this way.
However, most of them are quite subtle. This is the first time for such frivolous behavior to openly molest a saint.
"Could it be that he..."
The blush on the face of the Peacock Saint has not disappeared, and her expression is uncertain.
Just now, when the inner disciple touched the center of her foot, she sensed a hint of obscure soul power and entered her body to explore.
…
In the woods thousands of miles away from Jin Yangzong.
Lu Changan slowly opened his eyes and murmured: "This woman's magic power has indeed regressed. In addition, due to the death of her natal beast, the foundation of her body has been damaged. In this life, there is no hope for the realm of the Nascent Soul."
It turned out that the Jinyang Sect disciple just now was stored by him with a secret technique and temporarily controlled his body.
The Jinyang Sect, as the Nascent Soul sect with the longest heritage in the surrounding area, is heavily guarded and the fourth level formation poses a great threat.
Lu Changan's puppet clone wants to sneak in, but it may be sensed and there is a risk of death.
Through the "indecent" contact just now, Lu Changan found out the depth and reality of the Peacock Saint.
Even if this woman keeps a low profile, as long as she cannot be promoted to Nascent Soul, the threat to Lu Changan's future will be very limited.
It's not like Lu Changan never thought of killing the Peacock Saint.
However, the Jinyang Sect is heavily guarded, and the fourth-order formation under the auspices of Danjie Daxiu is full of threats.
If he takes action forcefully, Lu Changan will definitely pay the price, or even reveal his identity and be chased back by the True Lord of Six Yangs.
Once your identity is exposed and you are wanted by the Weidao League, it will be troublesome to go to Feng Country to get the Taiyin Jade Liquid.
Don't let the small lose the big.
Compared with the opportunity of Nascent Soul, the hidden dangers of the late stage of the Golden Elixir are not worth mentioning.
At the same time, Lu Changan came to the vicinity of Jinyang Sect and inquired about the opportunity of Nascent Soul.
Unfortunately, the Jin Yang Sect is heavily guarded, and matters involving Yuan Ying's chance are basically controlled by Liu Yang Zhenjun himself.
Facing the True Monarch Nascent Soul who defeated Master Lihuo in his prime, Lu Changan did not have the courage to pull out his teeth.
Unless, I encounter a better opportunity.
For example, True Lord Liuyang was seriously injured, Jinyang Sect was in danger of breaking through, and everyone pushed down the wall.
…
Leaving the area around Jinyangzong, Lu Changan flew to the southeastern border of Liang Kingdom, passing by Wuye Town.
This is the last stop before leaving Liang Guo.
Lu Changan sent a puppet clone to meet Jiang Yechen.
Jiang Yechen carried the thunder for him and played a crucial delaying role.
Lu Changan couldn't remain indifferent, he at least wanted to express his condolences.
At the same time, he wanted to pay homage to Shi Xianzi.
On the top of Wuye Town, inside the cave.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, are you promoted to the level of alchemy major cultivator?"
Jiang Yechen was shocked. He sensed that Lu Changan in white clothes in front of him had obscure magic power and his body was shrouded in the spiritual consciousness of the late stage of pill formation.
To avoid Jiang Yechen, the number one casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom, from seeing the reality of the puppet, Lu Changan could only isolate it with the power of his spiritual consciousness.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, don't make any noise. It's only in the late stage of pill formation and it's not worth mentioning."
Lu Changan smiled slightly and said humbly.
In Jiang Yechen's field of vision, the figure in white clothes standing with his hands behind his hands seemed to be standing on the top of an unreachable cloud, overlooking the Liang Kingdom's casual cultivation world, breaking a record of three thousand years!
Within three thousand years, Lu Changan was the only one who was a casual cultivator and became a major alchemist cultivator.
At this moment, Jiang Yechen was certain that the person who was really looking for the mysterious pill-forming overhaul was probably Lu Changan.
There have been similar speculations in the past, but they are not completely certain.
"Let Fellow Daoist Jiang suffer and take care of Man Rong in his twilight years in the past few years."
Looking at Jiang Yechen with a bitter look on his face, Lu Changan comforted him and reached out to pat his shoulder.
In the last ten or twenty years of Shi Manrong's life, just like Zhou Qingxuan at that time, his appearance had withered, and he was even more aged.
It can be said that Jiang Yechen was sincere in being able to accompany him until the end.
Lu Changan also admired him somewhat, so he did not come over before Shi Manrong died.
Later, Lu Changan followed Jiang Yechen and paid homage to Shi Manrong's tomb in the back garden of the cave.
Half an hour later.
Lu Changan left Wuye Town's sphere of influence under cover of late at night.
In his hand, there was an extra jade slip, which recorded a quasi-fourth-level formation inheritance.
This formation inheritance was originally obtained from the ruins and was compiled by Shi Manrong.
According to Jiang Yechen, this was Shi Manrong's instructions before his death. If Lu Changan comes over, he will give it to him.
Lu Changan understood that this was Shi Manrong's feedback for the third-level longevity elixir he had given him previously.
That third-level life-extending pill fulfilled all of Shi Manrong's regrets during his lifetime. He was accompanied by his Taoist companion and heirs... instead of being alone all his life.
To him, this inheritance is of little significance. In the memory of Zhenjun Chahai, there is a complete fourth-level inheritance, which is even more advanced.
Before leaving, Lu Changan made a promise to make up for Jiang Yechen's years of hard work and hardship.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yechen was quite proud and did not need Lu Changan's favor.
If Lu Changan is serious, he will give this promise to Shi Xianzi's adopted son, Shi Xiaochuan.
Shi Xiaochuan has a high-grade spiritual root and is very talented in formations.
During his lifetime, Shi Manrong raised him as his own son. Jiang Yechen also devoted his energy to teaching him.
Lu Changan agreed and recorded this promise on Shi Xiaochuan's head.
…
Three months later.
In the Immortal Realm of Feng Kingdom, near the back of the Demonic Battlefield, there is an important fairy city named "Icy Moon Castle".
Ice Moon Castle is an important stronghold built by Aoyue Palace in its sphere of influence in order to deal with the invasion of demons. It was built with the help of high-level ice spells.
Coupled with the special ice array, the defensive capabilities of Ice Moon Castle are second only to the fourth-level array of the Nascent Soul Sect.
Although it is called a castle, the scale of Ice Moon Castle exceeds that of most fairy cities.
Ice Moon Castle is not on the front line of the battlefield, but it is not far away. It plays the role of transferring supplies and recuperating in the rear.
This place has been invaded and harassed by small groups of demonic scouts from time to time, and was even attacked once by the demonic Nascent Soul from the Beast King Valley.
Therefore, there is always the True Monarch Nascent Soul sitting in Ice Moon Castle. He can go to the front line to support when he enters, and he can go back to defend the Fengguo mainland when he retreats.
On this day, a group of roving foundation-building monks who changed defenses returned to Ice Moon Castle.
Whoosh!
Inside the ice castle, a magic weapon from the lotus platform with three-color petals flew out. On top of it stood a female cultivator with a moonlight white dress and a temperament as icy as snow.
She looks to be about twenty years old, with a willow-slender waist, a snow-white face that is as tranquil as a painting, and a faint hint of sadness on her eyebrows, like a lonely fairy in an ice palace.
"Fairy Xuan Bing of Aoyue Palace!"
In the group of traveling monks returning to the city, several male cultivators could not hide their astonishment and looked at the beautiful ice figure with admiring eyes.
As an important town close to the demonic battlefield, it is unusual for Danjie monks to come and go, and this place belongs to the sphere of influence of Proud Moon Palace.
"Xuanbing Fairy" Xia Wenyue, with her eyebrows slightly furrowed, controlled the lotus platform magic weapon and flew hundreds of miles out of the Ice Moon Castle.
"Wenyue, you have just recovered from your injury and returned to Aoyue Palace alone. Why?"
Suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air behind him, accompanied by mana fluctuations at the peak of the mid-stage pill formation.
I saw a gleam of icy light, carrying a beautiful lady in a palace dress who was about twenty or thirty years old. There was cinnabar between her eyebrows, her manners were elegant, dignified and generous.
"Senior Sister Nalan, actually I am not going back to Aoyue Palace, but to find 'Situ Lan'. Fellow Daoist Situ is recovering from his injuries at the rear, and Wen Yue is a little concerned."
Xia Wenyue responded calmly.
"Situ Lan? Wen Yueqi is really attracted to him? For this person, he would not hesitate to offend the master and refuse her matchmaking?"
Senior sister Nalan looked surprised and unbelievable. For a hundred years, the junior sister whose heart had been like ice suddenly melted and her heart was moved one day.
"Well, Situ Lan has been pursuing me for many years. He was attacked by demon elites during a mission. In order to protect me, he risked his life and almost died and was seriously injured..."
Xia Wenyue nodded, and when he mentioned the name of 'Situ Lan', a ripple of warmth appeared in his eyes like a cold pool in late autumn.
"Situ Lan, both are Xiantian Taoists, Wuya Palace, direct disciples of Alliance Leader Chu. The two of you are indeed a perfect match, senior sister has no reason to stop you."
"However, Senior Sister is entrusted by Master and is not worried about Junior Sister being left alone. We plan to return together so that we can take care of each other."
Senior sister Nalan smiled faintly and stepped over to escape the light.
"snort!"
Xia Wen's moon face was as cold as frost, and the lotus platform under his feet was so bright that his speed exceeded the normal middle stage of pill formation, and he tried to get rid of Senior Sister Nalan with all his strength.
However, Senior Sister Nalan has profound cultivation, good escape skills, and with the help of talismans, she has been keeping an eye on Xia Wenyue.
Fly thousands of miles.
Xia Wenyue came to a beautiful mountain, river and water area.
Suddenly, a familiar beach and inlet came into view.
Xia Wenyue stopped in mid-air, showing a look of nostalgia.
The scene of the beach and inlet is the same as Qingshawan, the Xia clan’s place in my memory.
"Junior sister?"
Senior Sister Nalan chased after Xia Wenyue, and her eyes suddenly blurred.
Xia Wenyue disappeared out of thin air.
The beautiful beach and inlet in front of us suddenly turned into an endless hot desert area.
"Illusion!"
Senior Sister Nalan's expression changed. She released her spiritual consciousness and used many methods, but she could not escape from the boundless desert in front of her.
"No! Junior sister is not looking for Situ Lan!"
Senior Sister Nalan quickly realized that Xia Wenyue's outing this time was unusual.
…
In a familiar environment, Xia Wenyue instinctively flew to the "Autumn Wind Island" where "Qingshawan" is located.
She once served as a maid and apprentice, recuperating on Qiufeng Island and studying for many years.
This is the place where she started to change her life and destiny.
"You came."
A handsome, handsome, calm and indifferent man in white appeared on the island, overlapping with the figure that was about to disappear in his memory, almost unchanged.
"Mr. Lu, after more than a hundred years, Wen Yue thought you would never come back."
Xia Wenyue's cold, autumn-like eyes looked directly at the man in white not far away.
Lu Changan looked at Fairy Xuan Bing, who was alone in the autumn wind, her skirt swaying in the white house on the moon, and she noticed the coldness in her eyes.
In her eyes, the early admiration and the girlish implicit affection no longer existed.
The feelings are completely gone!
There is even an indescribable sense of alienation between them.
Xia Wenyue's temperament has also undergone earth-shaking changes and is different from the past.
Lu Changan had already expected this.
Under the erosion of more than a hundred years, the deep friendship and love will disappear.
This is human nature and is consistent with most situations in reality.
Very few examples are written into romance novels and adult stories.
Even if Lu Changan fell in love with the girl back then and invested a lot of effort and resources, more than a hundred years later, there is still no guarantee that human nature will change.
What's more, nothing happened between the two of them. It was just a nominal relationship between a teacher and a registered apprentice.
"Of course Lu will not forget the agreement we made back then. Fairy Xia... won't forget it, right?"
Lu Changan said with a smile, and naturally waved to Xia Wenyue to take a seat.
When he first started sowing seeds, he didn't invest much and had no intention of relying on emotions to control the matter.
"Of course I remember."
Hearing the word "promise", Xia Wenyue's expression changed slightly, she bit her red lips, stepped on the lotus platform, and sat cross-legged opposite her unnaturally.
