Lu Changan looked at the portrait scroll in Fairy Zixia's hand.
The handsome man carved on it is vivid, wearing a high crown, a loose feather robe and a large cloak, standing with his hands behind his hands, giving him a majestic and majestic look.
However, the aura and charm flowing on the scroll have been mostly dimmed.
Lu Changan couldn't help but think deeply, no wonder Zhenjun Zixia's words just now were more pessimistic.
This character scroll is a more advanced [life soul painting] than the sect soul lantern.
A trace of specially refined soul fragments are planted in it, which can not only sense the life and death of the target, but also determine the state of its soul.
At this moment, the [Life Soul Painting] is mostly dim, indicating that the state of the soul is very bad.
"Senior Brother's spiritual state at this time, even if he returns to the mountain gate safely, he may not be able to regain the cultivation and magic power he had in his heyday."
"Besides, senior brother is one of the suspicious clues to the whereabouts of Lingbao. The Dayu royal family, Dashan Mountain and other forces do not want to see the overly powerful Yunxia Sect, and I am afraid they will not allow it to return smoothly."
True Lord Zixia spoke in a low tone and stated the truth.
"Senior Brother Yunlan Jiren has his own destiny. I believe he will return to the mountain one day."
Lu Changan could only comfort him and say some auspicious words.
Anyway, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to ask Ying to go out to help find the whereabouts of True Lord Yunlan.
It’s not that I have any prejudice against Yun Lan, but doing so is very risky.
Not only are there clues about Lingbao, but the hostile forces of the Yunxia Sect may have set up an ambush, waiting for the key figures of the Yunxia Sect to fall into the trap.
Zixia Zhenjun was quite wise and did not mess up his position and hurriedly went out to find the whereabouts of the Taoist companion.
If something unexpected happens to her again, the Yunxia Sect's orthodoxy will be in real danger.
A few days ago, True Lord Zixia sent the elites of the sect to go out to search for the whereabouts of True Lord Yunlan, and to take care of his new body that might be taken away from him.
After her death, the first thing Zixia Fairy did was to settle down inside the gate.
Among them, appeasing and winning over Elder Xiang and Lord Diyan are the top priorities.
As long as there is nothing unusual about these two people and they still support her, there will not be any big changes in the Yunxia Sect's fundamentals.
Just now, Zhenjun Zixia changed her title and got closer to each other, mainly because of this.
As for mutual friendship and some appreciation, that is only a secondary factor.
Fairy Zixia is a Nascent Soul Nv Zhenjun who was born with Tianling roots and achieved unparalleled splendor. She has always been reserved and reserved, and will not show affection towards men of the opposite sex.
What's more, Elder Xiang is a subordinate of a lower level than her.
Lu Changan read the telegram and realized that this Zixia Fairy with unparalleled beauty was by no means a good person. In the past, she was suppressed by her senior brother and did not have much say.
If this woman is allowed to truly take charge of the Yunxia Sect, she might be able to accomplish something.
"I'd like to give you some good advice. Senior brother said before that my sect's luck is stable and improving, so he won't have bad luck."
Zixia Zhenjun's face softened slightly, and he looked down at the picturesque mountain gate scenery outside the main peak of the cave.
Is your luck stable and improving?
Lu Changan looked at the handsome side profile of True Lord Zixia, and felt a little strange in his heart.
Luck comes together, it's elusive and difficult to determine.
This kind of luck that belongs to the collective sect does not belong to an individual and is difficult to control.
The existence of the Xuantian Gourd Vine only slowly adds to the sect's luck. It may have a few thousandths of a gain for the collective, but when it falls on individual monks, it is insignificant.
For the vast majority of monks, life, old age, illness and death, natural and man-made disasters, and the trajectory of their lives are all as they should be.
He is not a child of luck, who breaks into the dragon's pond and the tiger's den, and turns misfortunes into good fortunes, and has good luck one after another.
"Senior Yu, have you ever explained what happened to Senior Brother Yunlan in the Ancient Nether Palace?"
Lu Changan expressed his curiosity.
True Lord Yunlan had handled a fake spiritual treasure, and then his body was destroyed and he almost died. Such a thrilling experience inevitably made Lu Changan a little interested.
Hearing this, the peaceful and picturesque face of True Monarch Zixia felt a hint of chill, and she bit her silver teeth slightly and said:
"The main reason for senior brother's misfortune is not the fake spirit treasure. At that time, the giants in the middle stage of Yuanying were coerced by many Yuanyings. Senior brother wisely handed over the fake spirit treasure and diverted the flames of war."
"The real reason is that senior brother was assassinated by someone in the Ancient Nether Palace!"
"plot?"
Lu Changan's expression changed, and he showed a look of surprise at the right time.
In fact, the hexagrams in this regard have been obtained in previous calculations, but they are not accurate.
Yunxia Sect had previously had three major Yuanying sects. If True Lord Yunlan took another step forward, the surrounding forces, whether they were enemies or neutral parties, would probably not be willing to see it.
"But the information revealed by Senior Yu? Are you sure it is true?"
Lu Changan said with a twinkle in his eye.
Zhenjun Zixia heard the implication. The Dayu royal family did not want to see the Yunxia Sect become powerful, so the information revealed by its stance should not be believed.
True Lord Zixia nodded and said: "The secret information of the Ancient You Palace that I obtained from other channels is consistent with what Yu Yuanjin said. Moreover, Yu Yuanjin has always disdain to lie. He previously swore to me that in the Ancient You Palace,
Here, the Yuanying monks from the royal family have never taken action against senior brother."
Lu Changan nodded slightly, believing that Yu Yuanjin was not lying.
However, in this world, people can be killed without taking action, and there are also ways to destroy families and destroy families.
If nothing else, the art of divination has this ability.
"In addition, Yu Yuanjin also produced evidence."
Zhenjun Zixia took out a handkerchief and spread it out, revealing a broken needle-shaped fragment of the magic weapon with residual poisonous blood on it.
"This is the remnant of senior brother's destroyed body. When Nascent Soul of the Daewoo royal family came to deal with the aftermath, he found evidence of the murder weapon at the scene and the blood matched it."
True Monarch Zixia said with a sad expression on her face.
Lu Changan squinted his eyes and looked at the broken needle magic weapon. The scorpion-shaped pattern on it looked familiar.
His eyelids twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but think of something, and his heart was filled with panic.
A few years ago, he traded the [Xuanxin Beast Pill] with True Lord Red Snake of the Great Snake Mountain. In addition to the purified dragon blood, there was also a sinister and sinister scorpion-tailed needle-shaped magic weapon, which was a top-quality magic weapon.
This needle was originally obtained from the ancestor of Tianluo. Because Lu Changan had a stronger nail-headed arrow, he sold it.
"This vicious secret weapon, coupled with the weird and powerful fourth-level poison, was an important factor in causing my senior brother to be seriously injured in the battle and to abandon his body."
"Someday, if I are allowed to find the true culprit of the original owner of this magic weapon, I will definitely let him die a miserable death!"
A cold glint suddenly appeared in the eyes of True Monarch Zixia, and her cold voice revealed murderous intent.
"Yes, the murderer cannot be forgiven!"
Lu Changan agreed.
He secretly felt guilty. If we speculated from the cause and effect, True Lord Yunlan's misfortune was indirectly affected by himself.
First, the secret weapon was created by Lu Changan.
Secondly, the luck gain brought by Xuantian Gourd Vine made Yun Lan really misjudge.
Thirdly, the Earth Rock Rat was promoted to the Demon King in Transformation, which made the surrounding forces more wary of the Yunxia Sect and did not allow True Lord Yunlan to go further.
"Level 4 poison? Is it related to the Big Snake Mountain?"
Lu Changan tentatively said.
Among the hostile forces of the Yunxia Sect, Dashan Mountain has the ability to prepare fourth-level poisons, which can poison and endanger the Nascent Soul spirit body.
"I also suspect that I have been to the Great Snake Mountain, but there is no clear evidence. The poison on the murder weapon only has a weak residue, so it is difficult to determine."
"Furthermore, True Lord Red Snake was seriously injured in the Ancient Youdian Palace. There were witnesses who were not present at the time."
True Lord Zixia sighed softly, since it involved Lingbao and many True Lord Yuanying were involved, she did not dare to make any judgment on this matter.
Lu Changan secretly thought that making the Yunxia Sect suspect that the real culprit was Dashan was probably a situation that the Daewoo royal family wanted to see.
Even a mortal emperor does not want his subordinates to become one. It is best to maintain a balanced opposition.
…
In the secret hall of the underground palace, Lu Changan and Zhenjun Zixia discussed for a long time and their relationship became much closer.
The Earth Rock Rat basically said nothing, and Lu Changan only followed his lead.
"Sister Zixia, don't worry. The certain family and Mr. Diyan will do their best to guard the mountain gate and stabilize the situation."
Before leaving, Lu Changan and Earth Rock Rat stood up and bowed to express their loyalty.
"Dalong, Mr. Diyan, fortunately you are here to share the pressure for senior sister."
True Monarch Zixia's delicate face shrouded in light smoke showed a rare smile.
With the loyal support of Xiang Dalong and Lord Diyan, there is no need to worry about the sect's situation.
Even if senior brother cannot come back, Yunxia Sect's status in the world of immortality in Dayu will not decline significantly.
After the secret conversation, True Lord Zixia quietly returned to Zixia Peak Cave Mansion.
The underground palace dojo of the Earth Rock Rat is connected to the two main peaks of the fourth-order spiritual veins. The distance is relatively close, and it is very convenient to visit them.
The cave dormitory.
The smile on Zhenjun Zixia's face disappeared, and she sighed softly, feeling a little disappointed.
This time, she visited and talked secretly at night to close the relationship and achieved the basic goal, but it was not the most ideal situation.
During this period, she once hinted that the manpower sent to search for her senior brother was insufficient and incompetent.
However, Elder Xiang did not take the initiative to ask for orders to go out to search for and meet True Lord Yunlan. He only promised to assist her and guard the mountain gate.
"After all, he is an elder from Keqing. He is not a talent cultivated by the direct lineage of the sect, so there is nothing wrong with him."
Zhenjun Zixia calmed down and realized that her expectations were too high.
Perhaps, my own charm is not as great as I imagined.
As a rare female Nascent Soul, she is relatively young and unparalleled in beauty. In the past experience, not to mention the Dan Jie monks, but also some of her Nascent Soul peers, all gave her extra preferential treatment and even secretly showed courtesy to her.
As for Xiang Dalong, Zixia Zhenjun has been kind to him and has helped him a lot in recent years.
Diyanjun used the fourth-level spiritual veins, obtained the Shangqing Dan, and traded thunder beads, all with her help.
Precisely because he has put in a lot of effort, Zhenjun Zixia's expectations are relatively high.
If you want to say that Xiang Zhenren doesn't understand the style at all, Zixia Zhenjun can occasionally detect it, and his admiration shows when he looks at him.
That natural yearning for beautiful things, without any desire mixed in.
"This person has strong self-control and is immune to charm. His character is rare. It's a pity that he is not a direct descendant of our own."
Although it did not meet the ideal expectations, Zhenjun Zixia became more appreciative of Elder Xiang's firm Taoist heart that was not deceived by external things.
…
one year later.
None of the monks sent out by the Yunxia Sect could find the whereabouts of True Lord Yunlan.
As various rumors spread, the surrounding forces and the Yunxia Sect monks were not optimistic about the situation of True Lord Yunlan.
Lu Changan estimated that True Lord Yun Lan would not be able to come back in a short time.
A weak Nascent Soul or remnant soul will need to hibernate for many years even if it has a suitable body.
Fortunately, in addition to True Lord Zixia, Yunxia Sect also has a fourth-level holy beast, so the situation in the sect has not been unstable.
A few months ago, Lord Diyan patrolled the Yunxia Sect's sphere of influence and killed several hostile and unruly monks who were lurking, including a monk who was in the middle stage of pill formation.
The fourth-level holy beast took action, shocking Xiao Xiao and further stabilizing people's hearts.
Regarding the subsequent influence of Ancient Nether Palace, Zhenjun Yunlan is not the most popular figure, and he is not even ranked in the top five.
All the forces in the Central Region are most concerned about the whereabouts of the fake Lingbao.
If a fake spiritual treasure fell into the hands of giants such as the Dayu Royal Family, it would be enough to change the situation in the Central Territory of the Great Abyss.
What is more bizarre is that the Yuanying monks who came out of the Ancient Nether Palace have different opinions on who the fake spirit treasure is, and there is no clear answer.
Several Nascent Soul giants in the Central Region, including Yuntian City, the Imperial Family of Jin Dynasty, Baqishan Mountain, Daluo Kingdom and other forces, were suspicious of each other and even deliberately framed each other.
If a large force obtains a fake spiritual treasure, the hostile forces around it will probably not give it the opportunity to refine and control the spiritual treasure.
The force or individual who obtains the spiritual treasure will definitely stay dormant and keep a low profile, or it will lead to disaster.
Among the individual monks, except for a few giants in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, such monks as Zhenjun Yunlan, Nangong Xiu, Jing Wufeng and others whose whereabouts are unknown are all targets of suspicion.
Lu Changan was also curious as to who had obtained the fake spiritual treasure.
He once tried to calculate and practice divination, but found that all kinds of confusing heavenly secrets were mixed together and confusing.
Obviously, there are not a few forces trying to make calculations.
But when it comes to the Ancient Nether Palace, fake spiritual treasures, and many Nascent Soul Lords, it is estimated that the resistance is unprecedentedly great.
At the level of Lingbao, it has some ability to interfere with the heavenly secrets, but it is not as powerful as the Xuantian objects.
"That Jingtian man, I don't know when he will come over to share the dividends."
Lu Changan has been silently waiting for Jing Wufeng's contact.
However, in the past year, Jing Wufeng has not appeared, as if he has disappeared from the world.
Lu Changan could understand that this person had gained some limelight in the Ancient Nether Palace, defeated many Yuanying old monsters, and became famous in the Central Territory.
In addition, I have offended my enemies and been targeted by some powerful forces, so I really need to avoid the limelight.
If it were Lu Changan, he would have to hide for at least ten years, depending on the situation.
…
The waiting time seemed long.
Another two years passed, and Lu Changan's age reached 353 years old.
Still no news from Jing Wufeng.
Lu Changan was not in a hurry and quietly improved his cultivation and skills to increase the foundation of the puppet army.
In the past two years, he had hidden his identity and bid for a third-level life-extending pill at large-scale auctions around the country of Dayu.
As the sixth level three life-extending pill, its effect is further attenuated, extending life by twenty years.
After deducting the consumption of divination in the past, Lu Changan's total lifespan still increased, reaching 1124 years.
In the same year, Yunxia Sect received good news.
A new immortal golden elixir was born inside the door, named Jiang Haoran.
Lu Changan had dealt with him, he was the direct disciple of Zhenjun Zixia, and he had customized a puppet for him.
Jiang Haoran, who was gifted with the Earth Spirit Root, was the descendant left behind by Zixia Fairy's brother during his lifetime. Because of his excellent qualifications and similar appearance to his brother, True Lord Zixia adopted him as his adopted son and closed his discipleship.
This is the best news the Yunxia Sect has received since the misfortune of True Lord Yunlan.
True Monarch Zixia was overjoyed and held a grand elixir-forming ceremony for Jiang Haoran to dilute the sorrow of the past few years.
For the first time in these years, Lu Changan saw a smile from the heart on Fairy Zixia's face, which was beyond beautiful.
Since True Lord Yunlan has not returned, True Lord Zixia is completely in charge of the sect, and she has a bit more of the majesty of a superior person. In the eyes of the disciples within the sect, she is like the aloof Empress of the Nine Heavens, inviolable.
However, in front of Lu Changan and Diyan Lord, Zixia Zhenjun is still elegant and friendly, and is still the dreamlike Zixia Fairy.
As the relationship grew closer, Lu Changan learned more about Fairy Zixia, and learned that this woman's surname was also Jiang, and her real name was "Jiang Ziyan".
However, after becoming a high-level monk and experiencing a long period of time, most people in the world only know the reputation of Fairy Zixia.
…
The following year, Yunxia Sect seemed to have reversed its fortunes, and Shanmen once again received good news.
Before Sect Leader Hu retired, the Yunxia Sect finally gave birth to a major cultivator of the Pill Formation.
This alchemy major cultivator, named "Huadu Zhenren", is a direct descendant of Master Yunxia, Zhenjun Yunlan, and his qualifications are not top-notch.
After Zixia Zhenjun came to power, he took care of him and gave him a rank-breaking pill. Unexpectedly, he was promoted smoothly.
After all, Huadu Zhenren can be regarded as a related household, but he caught Fu Yuan.
The sect has received good news one after another, and is steadily improving.
Fairy Zixia was in a cheerful mood, her snowy face looked like a lotus blooming, and she invited Lu Changan and Lord Diyan to enjoy the moon together.
Zixia Peak, Dongfu Courtyard.
Zhenjun Zixia sat lazily on the top, her skirt slightly disheveled. She had just finished drinking a jar of fourth-level spiritual wine, and her beautiful face had a faint blush.
Lu Chang'an and Di Yanjun were sitting at the lower end, admiring the moon, drinking wine, and accompanying Fairy Zixia to relieve their loneliness and melancholy.
Lord Diyan, who is in the form of a half-demon rat-man, is wearing a purple-red robe. He is drinking spiritual wine in a muffled voice. There are several wine jars at his feet.
Mr. Diyan did not participate in the conversation between his master and Fairy Zixia, he just drank and now fell in love with high-end wine.
Lu Changan discovered that even though he basically spoke on his own every time he accompanied him, and Diyanjun was just making excuses, Zhenjun Zixia would always ask Diyanjun to come with him by name.
Lu Changan realized that Zhenjun Zixia was deliberately avoiding the taboo.
This Fairy Zixia pays great attention to her reputation, keeps herself clean, and cherishes her feathers.
Many years ago, the relationship between Fairy Zixia and True Lord Yunlan broke off. They lived and practiced separately for many years, and there was never any bad scandal.
On the contrary, it was True Lord Yun Lan who was somewhat involved in some scandalous rumors.
"The fortune of our sect is indeed stable and improving. If senior brother had managed the business steadily and steadily, why would it be like this..."
Zixia Zhenjun was slightly drunk, his eyes were blurred, and he drank to relieve his sorrow. After several years, the melancholy in his heart has not completely dissipated, and he has never given up looking for his senior brother.
Lu Changan secretly thought that if True Monarch Yun Lan had not advanced so rashly, the situation with the combat strength of three Nascent Souls would have been promising.
Even a force with great luck cannot withstand individuals seeking death and going through various risks.
At the time when the offshore overlord "Tinghai Pavilion" was at its peak, its disciples could not avoid normal casualties.
…
Yunxia Sect's good fortune in recent years seems to have affected Lu Changan personally.
Five years after the battle at Ancient You Palace, Lu Changan finally received news from Jing Wufeng.
He appeared in the sphere of influence of the Central Region Alchemy Alliance and had become the True Lord of Nascent Soul. The news had just reached Dayu Country.
