Lu Changan discovered that True Lord Yunlan had quietly left the Yunxia Sect.
Most monks can't detect it, but it can't be hidden from people who are interested, especially those who are good at divination and fortune-telling.
Yunxia Sect only has one Nascent Soul, Zhenjun Zixia, in charge.
Lu Changan had no intention of getting close to each other. The relationship between the Zhenjun couple was complicated, and outsiders kept them at arm's length, and they must not get involved.
A few months later, Lu Changan turned 326 years old and had been in Dayuan for six or seven years.
On this day, Lu Changan summoned the servant stewards of Qingluan Peak and announced that Xiao Qingshan had become the chief steward of the main peak.
"Elder Xiang has entrusted you with an important task, and Qingshan will definitely devote himself to it."
Xiao Qingshan bowed and bowed, his heart was surging and he was extremely grateful.
Several other male servants on the mountain could not hide their envious expressions and congratulated each other.
The main peak of Pill Formation Overhaul, the third level of high quality, is one of the few in the Yunxia Sect.
The chief stewards of such main peaks are often the confidants and spokespersons of Elder Jiedan, and hold high positions of authority.
Generally, when encountering a real Jiedan person, they will treat him politely and not dare to offend easily.
Moreover, the sect recognizes this position and has corresponding remuneration.
Even if you put aside the factors of power and status.
Xiao Qingshan was promoted from an ordinary foundation-building monk to the chief steward of the main peak, and his salary and benefits in the sect were directly increased by two times!
The main peak of the third-level high-grade, just some industries, spiritual fields, gardens, and medicinal herbs on the mountain are a huge wealth of resources. Within the scope allowed by the unspoken rules, if you leak a little at will, you can make the foundation-building monks eat a lot.
Overnight, Xiao Qingshan jumped over the dragon gate and became a hotshot figure in the Yunxia Sect's foundation-building circle.
There was a lot of heated discussion about this among the Yunxia Sect's senior officials and below, and most of them thought that Xiao Qingshan was just unlucky.
Almost no one thought that there was any connection between Xiao Qingshan and Elder Xiang Dalong.
The identities of both parties are very clear, and there is no way to fight with them.
Xiao Qingshan was a concubine from a large family, a marginal figure, and his engagement was even broken off.
And Elder Xiang is not a monk from Dayu Kingdom at all. Since he has no trusted monks in Yunxia Sect, he chooses servants to manage things, which seems to be arbitrary and informal.
…
After Xiao Qingshan became the chief steward of the main peak, Lu Changan had many more opportunities to communicate with him than before, and there was no need to deliberately avoid taboos.
Lu Changan secretly observed for a period of time: Xiao Qingshan did not become distracted after his rise to prominence. He was still down-to-earth and diligent in his work.
Perhaps it has something to do with the ups and downs of life in this life, but Xiao Qingshan has a pretty good character.
This is the only place where Lu Changan feels happy.
Other than that, Xiao Qingshan is lackluster, with almost no outstanding points.
His spiritual root qualifications, cultivation of various arts, talent in magic, interpersonal communication...all aspects are mediocre.
Lu Changan had a mountain of second- and third-level materials and spiritual inheritances that he couldn't use, but he didn't know which one was suitable for Xiao Qingshan.
It is no wonder that this bucket-like mediocrity cannot be cultivated in the Xiao family. If he does not come from a big family and his biological mother has left some legacy, it is unknown whether he can be promoted to Foundation Establishment.
Then a year or two.
Lu Changan gradually revealed his importance to Xiao Qingshan, training him as a confidant and occasionally giving him guidance in practice.
All the small and large things in Qingluan Peak were left to him to take care of.
On certain occasions, Xiao Qingshan will do the errands and receive the transactions with ordinary Jiedan masters.
Xiao Qingshan vaguely noticed that when interacting with Elder Xiang, he felt an indescribable sense of affinity. He was like an old friend who had been with him for many years, and he believed and respected him from the bottom of his heart.
He plucked up the courage and took the initiative to ask Elder Xiang for advice on spiritual practice during his free time.
However, Xiao Qingshan, who was famous in public, also faced emotional entanglements.
In the past two years, his popularity with women in the inner sect has greatly improved.
Some pretty and beautiful cultivators who were once out of reach and were in good condition were willing to associate with them, and even secretly flirted with them.
Xiao Qingshan fell in love with a newly promoted female foundation-building cultivator named "Si Lu". She was young, beautiful, gentle and considerate, and had a perfect body.
The relationship between the two has just warmed up and is about to develop further.
Unexpectedly, his childhood sweetheart "Yi Shuzhen", who broke off the relationship early, took the initiative to contact him again.
The two met in private. Yi Shuzhen's eyes were red and swollen, so she took the initiative to embrace her and cried for a long time.
Yi Shuzhen recounted her difficulties at that time: She originally really wanted to become a Taoist couple with Xiao Qingshan, and did not care about poverty or wealth. However, her family was hard on her and her mother threatened her life, so she had no choice but to separate from him.
Now, Xiao Qingshan has become the chief steward of the main peak and the confidant of the Pill Formation Overhaul, and the Yi family no longer dares to stop the love and union between the two.
After all, she was a woman whom she had loved deeply. Xiao Qingshan's heart could not remain unmoved by Lihua's sad and soft pleas.
…
A few days later, outside Qingluan Peak.
The female Foundation Establishment cultivator in a white dress, with a bright face and plump body, was waiting for Xiao Qingshan lovingly.
As the steward of the main peak, Xiao Qingshan spends most of his time at Qingluan Peak, including daily practice. Lu Changan gives him a few days off every month for free recreation.
"Yi Shuzhen? When did she reconcile with Xiao Qingshan?"
The servant monks on the main peak were secretly discussing gossip.
Xiao Qingshan flew out of Qingluan Peak with a bad look on his face. He did not agree to get back together with Yi Shuzhen, but he did not completely make up his mind.
In order to avoid bad influences, Xiao Qingshan grabbed Yi Shuzhen's hand and left immediately without saying a word.
Before evening, Xiao Qingshan returned to Qingluan Peak and apologized to Lu Changan.
"This is your private matter, I will not interfere."
Lu Changan said in a calm tone.
In fact, if Xiao Qingshan does not return tonight and falls into Yi Shuzhen's gentle hometown, Lu Changan will inevitably be disappointed.
Xiao Qingshan said with shame: "Qingshan knew that he was not up to par and was not decisive enough, so he let Elder Xiang down."
"It's good to know! Your spiritual stone salary will be deducted for one year."
Lu Changan said in a deep voice.
"Qingshan accepts the punishment!"
Xiao Qingshan's heart ached and he accepted the punishment obediently.
It had only been two years since he became the chief executive, and half of his spiritual stone salary had been deducted.
This spiritual stone was distributed by the sect. If Elder Xiang was not convinced from the bottom of his heart, he would probably think that he was using the spiritual stone as an excuse.
"You are not young anymore. Let's make a Taoist couple within the family as soon as possible."
Lu Changan said seriously.
Xiao Qingshan is relatively mediocre in all aspects. Even with his support in this life, his achievements will not be too high.
Instead of doing this, it is better to settle down as soon as possible and enjoy more wealth in this world.
"Yes, Elder Xiang."
Xiao Qingshan kept this in mind and did not dare to disobey orders.
…
Half a month.
Xiao Qingshan became a Taoist couple faster than expected.
His Taoist companion is not Yi Shuzhen, but Si Lu, who has just fallen in love.
Lu Changan was satisfied with this and gave him a few days off.
At the marriage celebration banquet of Xiao Qingshan and Si Lu, many monks below the top of the sect sent gifts to congratulate them.
Lu Changan gave a third-level spiritual shell as a gift, which can slowly improve the root bones and slightly promote the cultivation under the pill formation.
One month after becoming a Taoist couple.
Xiao Qingshan's bottleneck that had been stagnant for several years in the early stages of foundation building was a natural breakthrough.
His cultivation reached the middle stage of foundation building and surpassed the shackles of Li Erqing's previous life.
Xiao Qingshan's breakthrough surprised Lu Changan somewhat.
Even with his guidance, there is no shortage of cultivation resources now, and Xiao Qingshan's promotion to the middle stage of foundation building is easier than expected.
"Could it be that the luck gain of Xuantian Gourd Vine has played a role."
Lu Changan thought.
This possibility exists theoretically.
Based on subsequent observations, Lu Changan discovered a truth.
Part of the reason for Xiao Qingshan's previous successful breakthroughs was due to his first Yin and Yang dual cultivation.
Xiao Qingshan comes from a big family, so naturally he is not a youngster.
However, after entering the Yunxia Sect, due to their high vision, most female cultivators looked down upon them, which resulted in a high level of failure.
"I didn't expect that Li Erqing, who is mediocre in all aspects, would be a dual practitioner in a side sect and have a good talent."
Lu Changan finally found a bright spot in Xiao Qingshan that was helpful for his practice.
The talent of yin and yang dual cultivation has no necessary relationship with spiritual roots. It is similar to cultivating immortals and hundreds of arts, which depends on different qualifications and temperaments.
Some people are gifted with extraordinary talents, and through Yin and Yang cultivation, they can greatly improve their path.
Ancestor Tianluo is an example. He is not a Taoist body or an earthly spiritual root, but he has also formed a Nascent Soul.
In the ancient history of the world of immortality, there are even more exaggerated records: a son of bad luck who defied the will of nature and changed his destiny. By relying on this side-sect method, he reached the pinnacle of the human world and was named "Long Yang Dajun"
His name and deeds were even included in Tianyan Continent's "Yunei Strange People Series".
However, that era was so long ago that its authenticity is open to question.
Lu Changan suddenly thought that in Li Erqing's life, he continued to get married and have children, which brought good fortune.
Could it be that the side talent in this life has something to do with the experience before reincarnation?
Lu Changan remembered that Yun Ling, the reincarnation of Guan Qiaozhi, had good qualifications in drawing talismans.
In her previous life, Guan Qiaozhi spent most of her time dealing with talismans.
Li Erqing's life was similar. He was either getting married and having children, or on the road to re-matching.
…
Time flies, eight years have passed.
Lu Changan kept a low profile in the Yunxia Sect and practiced steadily for eleven years, and his age has reached 336 years.
Over ten years, a lot of things can be confirmed.
Labels such as "Not close to women, Xiang Zhenren" and "Ascetic Elder Xiang" have formed an inherent impression in the minds of the Yunxia Sect monks.
To this day, Xiang Zhenren's cave has not recruited a single female nun.
In the open-minded Yunxia Sect, Elder Xiang can be said to be a breath of fresh air. He neither makes Taoist companions nor takes concubines, nor does he mess around with men and women.
Even Zhenjun Yunlan gradually agreed with Lu Changan's view of "honesty and duty".
True Lord Yunlan once secretly paid attention to Lu Changan and asked his confidants to record his actions.
Regardless of whether he is in the sect or not, this person is a down-to-earth practitioner and completes the task of refining the puppet on time, including recruiting apprentices.
The few times he went out, he always went to the high-end fairy city in Dayu to purchase resources.
Lu Changan only did his own thing and never inquired into the secrets of Yunxia Sect, nor did he deliberately try to please Yun Lan or True Lord Zixia.
True Lord Zixia would occasionally summon Lu Changan to keep in touch with him.
Lu Changan, on the other hand, has never taken the initiative to pay a visit to True Lord Zixia. Apart from cultivation and skills, there is no woman at all in his eyes.
"Zi Yan did not see the wrong person, but I was worrying too much..."
Zhenjun Yunlan lowered his wariness towards Lu Changan and put more energy into planning resources for the birth of a baby for his direct disciple "Zhenren Yunqing".
the past eight years.
Lu Changan confirmed Xiao Qingshan's superior talent for Yin and Yang cultivation.
This son's qualifications for middle-grade spiritual roots and cultivation speed are actually comparable to those of high-grade spiritual roots.
Of course, Lu Changan's occasional advice, as well as the fact that there is no shortage of resources now and the supply of elixirs and spiritual rice are abundant, are also the main reasons.
the first two years.
Lu Changan taught Xiao Qingshan the first six levels of the "Dragon and Phoenix Double Cauldron Method", including Qi refining and foundation building.
This dual cultivation method was obtained by Tianluo Ancestor from the ancient cave. After studying it for a lifetime, he never fully understood it.
This skill is divided into main tripod and auxiliary tripod.
Those who major in Kung Fu will be the main cauldron and gain greater benefits. You can have multiple secondary cauldrons and enjoy the normal benefits of dual cultivation.
In this life, Lu Changan was limited by the age limit of the Evergreen Gong, so it was meaningless to practice the "Dragon and Phoenix Double Cauldron Technique".
Simply let Xiao Qingshan, who is extremely talented, practice some training and accumulate more experience.
This ancient skill has some disadvantages and shortcomings for future generations and needs further improvement.
…
In the early morning of this day, Lu Changan took the Qingxuan wood that had grown to the fourth level threshold and put it into the space ring.
This piece of Qingxuan wood was obtained from the descendants of Tianluo Ancestor, and its original quality was close to the fourth level.
The evergreen mana in the later stage of Lu Changan's Immortal Golden Elixir has a better accumulating effect.
Even without sacrificing life essence and cultivating it with precious spiritual fluid, these years have brought it to the threshold of the fourth level.
squeak!
An earthy yellow halo emerged, with a deep aura and demonic power as strong as a mountain. The rock rat appeared at Lu Changan's feet.
"Alas! Where can a great demon at the peak of the late third level find a key opportunity for you?"
Lu Changan sighed lowly and reached out to touch the purple hair on the head of the rock rat.
The Earth Rock Rat has cultivated to the peak of the late third level in the past two years, and already has the foundation to attack the fourth level transformed demon king.
However, only a few of the many trophies in the past helped the rock rat to reach the fourth level.
There are no crucial opportunities or superior spiritual beings.
Lu Changan's personal preparations for the birth of a baby were not sufficient, so he was naturally unable to support the Earth Rock Rat.
Squeak!
The rock rat shook his head, eyes firm, and made a decision.
It wants to go out to experience, try its luck, and look for opportunities to transform.
"Don't worry, your lifespan is quite sufficient. In fact, there is an opportunity for monsters to transform into monsters in the Great Universe. There is no need to sacrifice the near for the distant."
Lu Changan comforted him.
Lu Changan had two ideas about the opportunity for the Earth Rock Rat to transform.
First, the demonic Stone Heart Dragon in the forbidden area of the Central Region has the bloodline of a true dragon. Its Heart of Stone Dragon and Great Essence Pill are very suitable for Earth Rock Rats.
To accomplish this, we must cooperate with the mysterious foreign cultivator Jing Wufeng.
Secondly, Daewoo has corresponding chance materials.
Among them, the Great Snake Mountain and the Daewoo Imperial Family are certain to have key resources that help monsters transform.
Dashan Mountain itself is a Yuanying-level beast-controlling sect.
The ancestors of the Dayu royal family came from the princes of the "Great Jin Immortal Dynasty" in Fenghua Continent. It is said that there is a sacred beast that suppresses the clan, and its strength is comparable to that of the middle Nascent Soul.
As the ruler of the Dayu Kingdom, the royal family has collected many precious resources in the world and cultivated more than one Tianying Fruit.
Moreover, the Daewoo royal family also has its own fourth-level alchemy masters and formation masters.
…
When Lu Changan was planning the opportunity to transform into the fourth level.
Hundreds of miles away, a ray of white cloud light traveled through Jiugang Sky, and with an overwhelming momentum, it headed straight for the mountain gate of Yunxia Sect.
"Senior Brother Lan!"
Zhenjun Zixia, who was sitting at the mountain gate, felt something coming from afar and immediately flew out of the fourth-order spiritual peak.
Soon, Fairy Zixia's pretty face turned pale, showing an expression of surprise and worry.
I saw True Lord Yunlan flying from the other side, with his crown dropped, his hair scattered, his face pale, and his huge Nascent Soul mana, like a volcano erupting, chaotic and out of control.
What's even more shocking is that his shoulder was covered in blood and flesh, and one arm was missing.
