A hint of the cycle of time passed from the young man in white robe sitting cross-legged.
Feeling the vitality of evergreen magic in his body, Lu Changan opened his calm black pupils and ended today's routine practice.
"Squeak!"
A brown rat with a bulging belly and a flattering look rubbed his robe at his feet.
Lu Changan looked a little disgusted and kicked him away.
Compared to two or three years ago, rock rats have become fatter and rounder.
Two years ago, with the nourishment of precious spiritual grass, the Earth Rock Rat successfully broke through and became a late-stage first-order monster.
His theoretical cultivation surpassed that of his master, Lu Changan.
Lu Changan entered the fifth level of Qi training a year ago and spent a total of five years.
Li Ergou, who lives next door, was promoted to the sixth level of Qi Refining half a year ago, several years ahead of the curve.
"Thirty-three years old, fifth level of Qi training."
Lu Changan practices health-preserving skills, which improves his mood and makes him neither anxious nor impatient.
Compared with his longevity of 180 years during the Qi Refining Period, he is still in his youth.
After routine practice.
Lu Changan took off his clothes, sat in a medicine bucket containing spiritual sand stone, and started to use the method of "Cloud Sand Body Refining Technique".
The heat is steaming, the skin is glowing with green and red crystals, and the color of some spiritual sand stones in the medicine bucket is gradually dimming.
"The continuous supply of spiritual sand stone, coupled with the precious medicinal bath, and the progress of body refining techniques, are almost catching up with the level of mana cultivation."
Lu Changan's "Yunsha Body Refining Technique" has recently entered the second level, corresponding to the middle stage of Qi refining.
The physical strength is comparable to that of a mid-level first-order monster.
Such a fast progress can be called a body-training genius.
This is due to Lu Changan's financial support and abundant time and energy.
And the powerful self-healing power of Evergreen Gong!
Any body-refining technique will inevitably wear down the body and leave minor injuries during the practice process.
Lu Changan's Evergreen Kung Fu not only has long Qi pulse, but also has self-healing power that far exceeds that of the same level.
Strong self-healing ability means that Lu Changan can spend longer time polishing and tempering his body.
"If this continues, my body refining skills may exceed my magic power."
Lu Changan wondered, is this path of cultivating immortality a little off track?
In the past few years, the precious spiritual herbs that had not been sold off were used by Lu Changan for medicinal baths and for eating by rock rats. Now there is not a single trace left.
The total value is several hundred spiritual stones. Although it is a waste, it saves the sale of stolen goods.
Not only are the risks reduced, Lu Changan and Earth Rock Rat have also been truly improved.
In addition to body training, Lu Changan dabbles in alchemy in his spare time.
In his previous life, he not only had to practice and study Talismanism, but also had to worry about his family's affairs. He had no energy to learn other skills of cultivating immortals.
In the third life, Lu Changan planned to get involved in alchemy.
An alchemist can be one of the best among the hundred arts of cultivating immortality, because cultivation is the foundation of everything.
After trying it out, Lu Changan found that his alchemy talent was very ordinary, far behind Fu Dao.
With the memory of two lifetimes and the blessing of powerful spiritual consciousness, he has become a first-level low-grade alchemist in these years.
…
Lu Changan stretched himself and walked slowly to the other courtyard.
Squeak!
The rock rat obediently picked up two letters.
Now, there are two sets of first-order formations arranged in the courtyard, one for defense and one for cover.
It is difficult for ordinary monks to explore, and rock rats come to the ground from time to time.
Lu Changan took the letter and gave the rock rat a pill.
Two letters were sent recently by Lin Yi and Zhao Siyao.
Lin Yi agreed on the talisman for the next transaction in the letter.
At the same time, Lin Yi mentioned a happy event: his sixth son is pregnant with spiritual roots.
The spiritual root sensitivity is eighteen, almost becoming a middle-grade spiritual root.
Lin Yi was born in a prince's palace, got married earlier, had many wives and concubines, and had as many children as Li Ergou over the years.
Lin Yi’s sixth son is named Lin Lu.
He said that he hoped to be like Lu Changan in the future, being down-to-earth and moving forward steadily.
Lu Changan's face twitched.
Given his nature, he almost wanted to curse.
Lin Yi gave his son this name because he was suspected of taking advantage of him. He is usually called Xiao Liu and Xiao Lu.
He suspected that Lin Yi had some resentment towards him.
Opening Zhao Siyao's letter, it shared some recent developments.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Siyao successfully became a core disciple in the inner sect competition two years ago.
Not only that, Zhao Siyao also became a disciple of a fake alchemy Jurchen.
Becoming a core disciple, Zhao Siyao received more resources for cultivation.
In the past two years, she paid off the spiritual stones she owed Lu Changan and the three of them, and clearly stated in her letter that she owed a favor.
Borrow and repay, promise favors.
Lu Changan's friendship and investment have begun to bear fruit.
If Zhao Siyao is promoted to the foundation-building stage in the future, this favor will become even more important.
At the bottom of the world of immortality, if you have a relationship with a sect foundation-building friend, you have a certain background to rely on.
Lu Changan didn't pay much, and the other party also returned the lent spiritual stones. He was usually relatively free, so the cost of a little time was nothing.
If you have more potential friends like this, you will naturally be like a fish in water in the world of immortality in the future. It will be much safer than those who fight, kill, and make enemies with others.
"However, even if Zhao Siyao becomes a core disciple, it will not be that easy to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill."
With the exchange of letters, Lu Changan learned more about Jinyun Valley.
The foundation building pill must be exchanged with the sect's contribution.
Core disciples have a higher priority in redeeming Foundation Establishment Pills, and there is a slight discount.
Zhao Siyao's cultivation has almost reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and in the next few years, he may have to work hard for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
…
Lu Changan walked out of the courtyard to relax.
I discovered that Li Ergou in the yard next door was teaching his second son the "Mu Ershun" spell.
"Uncle Lu."
Seeing Lu Changan, Mu Ershun, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, greeted him respectfully.
Mu Ershun, now twelve or thirteen years old, has cultivated to the first level of Qi Refining.
On weekdays, clan elders impart teachings and instill the idea of loyalty to the family.
"Fifteen years, time flies so fast, Li Ergou's children have all become immortal cultivators."
Lu Changan sighed in his heart.
If he had not had many wives, concubines, and heirs in his previous life, he would definitely feel lonely if he saw the people around him marrying, having children, and reuniting their families in this life.
"If the 'Da Kun' in the previous life and the 'Da Qing' in this life are both in the Tianheng Continent, I don't know if there will be any outstanding immortal cultivators among my descendants."
Lu Changan had this thought more than once.
In his previous life, his name was not Lu Changan.
Strictly speaking, there is no blood relationship with those heirs anymore.
"Brother, do you think my son Ershun can learn to draw talismans in the future?"
Li Ergou, who was getting richer and richer, led his son out and said with a smile.
Mu Ershun only has a low-grade spiritual root, and his spiritual root sensitivity is only twelve, so he basically has no chance to build a foundation.
Li Ergou wanted his son to learn a skill.
Lu Changan's talisman skills can not only earn spiritual stones, but also protect the road and defend himself. Li Ergou has been envious of him for a long time.
"To draw a talisman, it depends on his talent."
Lu Changan did not draw a conclusion.
"In a while, the eldest lady will open a talisman shop in the newly opened Zhuye Shanfang City, and said that she will recruit two talisman apprentices. I want Ershun to give it a try."
Li Ergou expressed his thoughts.
"Zhuye Shanfang City, so fast?"
Lu Changan had heard a little bit about this.
Since the Zheng family withdrew from Zhuye Mountain, the area where the second-order spiritual veins were located has been transformed into a market by the Maple Leaf Huang family in the past two years.
It's called Zhuye Shanfang City.
The Zheng family of Zhuye Mountain has become a thing of the past.
In the newly opened market, the Huang family, in order to gain popularity, gave half of their products to some stores such as Yushou Zhou Family, Feiyue Mu Family and so on.
The Mu family got two shops with very cheap prices.
A restaurant is about to open, focusing on spiritual fish and aquatic products, which comes from the advantages of Feiyue Lake.
In another room, open a talisman shop.
"Okay, if I have the right to recommend, I will help you speak."
Lu Changan had a flash of thought and understood what Li Ergou was thinking.
He had a hunch that the Mu family might be looking for him during this period.
…
Lu Changan's hunch was correct.
The very next day, a senior member of the Mu family came to visit.
"Miss, if there is anything I need you to do in person."
Lu Changan stood up to greet him, looking slightly flattered.
Mu Xiuyun wore a long blue gauze dress, looking gentle, quiet, elegant and generous.
She is about the same age as Lu Changan, has good looks, looks about twenty years old, and has more charm than the girl she was when we first met her.
He is now at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and is a senior member of the family.
"We don't have to be so open to each other. In your eyes, I can't feel the true awe of anyone."
Mu Xiuyun smiled, her eyes moving.
Both of them are Talisman Masters, so they naturally have some contact with each other after being in the Mu family for so many years.
After welcoming Mu Xiuyun into the main room, Lu Changan made tea.
"Lu Chang'an, the family plans to open a talisman shop in Zhuye Shanfang City. Are you interested in becoming the chief talisman master?"
Mu Xiuyun got straight to the point.
"Don't answer in a hurry. I will take care of the shop. You only need to refine some of the talismans and take care of the apprentices. In addition to the treatment originally agreed upon by the family, I will give you another salary."
