Lu Changan named this fifth-level rare item [Black Wind Cloak].
Its special fabric material is a product of the Demon Peak Realm.
It is suspected to be the robe of a two-headed, four-armed ancient demon in the sealed abyss. This demon's level is too high and it has not been able to break through.
Lu Changan tempered it with Evergreen Infant Fire for a long time before purifying the demonic aura in the object.
That night, Lu Changan personally wore the [Black Wind Cloak], sneaked into the night with the wind, and entered the Zixia Peak Cave Mansion without anyone noticing.
Even though Lu Changan knew the formation backdoor of Zixia Peak Cave Mansion, it was unbelievable that he sneaked all the way to Fairy Zixia's chamber without disturbing anyone.
Jiang Ziyan's slender figure was sitting cross-legged on the jade bed practicing, when something suddenly happened behind her and a cool breeze hit her.
A sinister figure in a black cloak was reaching out to her shoulders.
who!
This Nascent Soul Nvzhenjun's pretty face turned pale, and she broke out in a cold sweat. She instinctively used magic power to protect her body.
"Jie Jie! I have heard about Fairy Zixia's reputation for a long time, so I specially came to visit her late at night."
Lu Changan suddenly regained his childlike innocence and laughed strangely.
Jiang Ziyan was shocked, thinking it was some great monk who was greedy for beauty, or the reclusive god-turned-god.
Fortunately, Lu Changan did not hide his appearance.
After finding out her identity, Fairy Zixia was very angry and embarrassed, saying that she had to make compensation for the shock she had suffered.
How could Lu Changan be so used to it? He simply played a scene that night.
In the early morning, the dormitory was in a mess, as if it had been robbed.
"Dalong, can True Lord Lingxue's legal body be given priority to be sold to this sect?"
Fairy Zixia put on the white dress she wore at home, half-kneeling with her long, white and graceful legs, and straightened the hem of Lu Changan's robe. Her eyes were misty, as if she had a sense of grievance.
Lu Changan thought to himself, no wonder this woman made him so comfortable, it turned out that she wanted something.
"If Zhenjun Lingxue's legal body remains in Yunxia Sect, it will cause karma in the future."
Lu Changan shook his head slightly and did not agree.
After losing his Nascent Soul body, True Lord Lingxue would have to seize his body and rebuild it, hiding away for decades.
If Lu Changan had been in Dayuan, True Lord Lingxue would have endured the humiliation and not dared to make any mistakes.
But if Lu Changan returns to Daqing and has not returned for many years, there will be only one Nascent Soul in the Yunxia Sect, True Lord Zixia, and there will be many hidden dangers.
Of course, it was also a reason why the Yunxia Sect couldn't produce any treasure that would impress Lu Changan.
In the past, after conceiving babies, refining puppets, and collecting various precious materials, the potential of the Yunxia Sect's treasure house was basically drained by Lu Changan.
…
A few days later.
Lu Changan sent away a Nascent Soul evil cultivator from another country who paid a low-key visit.
This Nascent Soul evil cultivator was said to have once admired True Lord Lingxue, but later became resentful. This time, he wanted to buy Lingxue's body and refine it into a female zombie slave.
Although the price offered by this cultivator was quite sincere, Lu Changan still declined politely as he could not encourage such evil trends.
Not long after the evil cultivator of Nascent Soul left, True Lord Lingxue seemed to be stimulated. The big chamber of commerce and the family behind it sent representatives to the Yunxia Sect to negotiate, hoping to recover Lingxue's legal body skin.
Lu Changan directly made a price and asked for the wings and skeleton of Bing Qingfeng. He also informed the royal family that they also wanted to buy this body, and he was quite interested.
The forces behind True Monarch Lingxue were in a dilemma and could not produce this object. They asked Lu Changan to preserve the body of the law and they went back to discuss it.
"It's really a show."
Lu Changan had calculated in advance that the royal family was not clear about it, but there was considerable room for profit behind True Lord Lingxue.
True Lord Lingxue is not alone. The big chambers of commerce and families behind her all rely on her.
Lu Changan tried to see if he could let the projection of his previous life possess the body of True Lord Lingxue.
The results were not ideal.
The projection of the past life has the corresponding soul power and skill instinct, but it is not the real soul of living beings or the spirit body of the Nascent Soul.
After possession, the body can only be controlled rigidly, and it will cause the Nascent Soul body to be rejected, causing the loss of vitality to accelerate.
Lu Changan had no choice but to give up. He wanted to create a vest clone of Fairy Yuanying, which seemed unrealistic.
…
Some time passed.
Representatives of the forces behind True Monarch Lingxue formally came to negotiate and made an offer.
They really don't have Bing Qingfeng's wing frame.
However, there are remains of the "nine-headed bird", but they are slightly older.
The nine-headed bird is also a heavenly blood spiritual bird, and its ancestor can reach the threshold of true spirit.
It is said that this bird is very intelligent, but due to too many thoughts, it will suffer from serious internal friction.
Lu Changan identified a fragment of the spiritual bird bones and determined that they were the bones of a nine-headed bird above the mid-fourth level. However, the spiritual loss was serious and the value was greatly reduced.
Lu Changan took this opportunity to express his dissatisfaction, suppress the value in the negotiations, and take the initiative.
Fortunately, the remains of the nine-headed bird held by the forces behind True Monarch Lingxue are quite substantial.
Lu Changan finally gave up and agreed to the deal.
The forces behind Zhenjun Lingxue asked the Nascent Soul monks from the Yuntian Fairy City Merchant Alliance to mediate and complete the deal in the Yunxia Sect.
Lu Changan obtained the skeleton skeleton of a nine-headed bird. Since the nine-headed bird is a large raptor, even if it is less than half of the skeleton, the material share is quite considerable.
In addition to the transaction, Lu Changan signed a spiritual contract on behalf of the Yunxia Sect and the "Feiyun Chamber of Commerce" behind True Lord Lingxue, and the grievances between the two parties were resolved and there was no pursuit of each other.
Perhaps, this is also one of the reasons why the other party is willing to make this deal.
If they are enemies of the two dragons of the Central Region at the same time, even a powerful force like the Daewoo Royal Family will feel a headache.
Lu Changan realized that high-profile prestige can have good effects at certain times.
"The materials for upgrading the Peacock to the fourth level are basically complete."
After completing the transaction, Lu Changan had high hopes.
Although the materials are basically sufficient, they are not yet stable, and the loss during refining must be considered.
In addition, the current quality and spirituality of the remains of the nine-headed bird are not up to standard.
Lu Changan plans to use the Evergreen Gong to cultivate it all year round, try to restore some spirituality, and meet the corresponding quality requirements.
…
In the blink of an eye, three or four years passed.
Lu Changan's age reached 405 years old.
In the past few years since he returned to Yunxia Sect, he spent most of his time practicing in seclusion and improving his magical powers and secret techniques.
Lu Changan is strengthening his practice in "Destroying Divine Light", "Phantom Wood Clone", and even "Secret Technique of Heavenly Demon".
Among them, "Phantom Wood Clone" has the most suitable attributes, and has similar memory experiences from previous lives, and has already been cultivated to Dacheng or above.
This magical power of movement can be refined with magic wood talismans refined from high-grade spiritual wood, using essence and blood mana to create a false clone during the fight, which can confuse the enemy and at the same time provide a certain amount of combat power.
The second one is "Withering Divine Light", which is also very suitable for the Evergreen Kung Fu. Its actual combat effect has been confirmed, and it is worth investing a lot of time to practice.
After losing a certain amount of lifespan back then, Lu Changan improved his cultivation progress in the early stages of "Destroying Divine Light". Now that he has enough time and no crisis pressure, there is no need to waste it so much.
As for "The Secret Technique of Heavenly Demon", progress is much slower. The Nascent Soul monk's soul has undergone a qualitative change, and the theory can be practiced, but it needs to be slightly improved and localized.
When practicing this secret method, Lu Changan once bewitched a foundation-building monk of the Yunxia Sect and entered the other person's mind with inner demon thoughts, amplifying flaws in his state of mind and inducing negative demonic nature.
As a result, this foundation-building monk became evil, embezzled public funds, insulted his senior sister, betrayed his sect, and exposed his inner ghost.
"This boy is not strong-willed and will never achieve great things!"
Lu Changan couldn't help but shake his head. He would return to Daqing later and try to find a rival monk with a higher level of cultivation.
Practicing the "Secret Technique of Heavenly Demon" made him understand the truth that any monk has potential demonic nature.
Heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, and when there is positive there is negative.
Demonic nature is the dark negativity.
Even the legendary immortals also have demonic nature.
The more powerful an individual is, the greater the harm he will cause once he becomes a demon.
…
On this day, Lu Changan, who was bored with his cultivation, came out of seclusion and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Elder Xiang, this is a gift from a letter I received recently."
Xiao Qingshan placed a number of items in the grocery room next to Lu Changan's studio.
Lu Changan's consciousness quickly scanned and found Jing Wufeng's contact item, a silver crystal jade with a sky symbol.
"Space materials can be used to repair the space formation channels of Tinghai Pavilion."
Lu Changan's head moved.
Jing Wufeng will meet with him soon, hoping to bring about progress.
Now, Lu Changan only has one last necessary thing left in Dayuan.
Repair the formation of the space channel.
When Lu Changan came to Dayuan, he was in the late stage of Jindan cultivation. Now he and Diyanjun are both at the Nascent Soul level, which is beyond the capacity of the space channel.
Lu Changan himself is a third-level formation mage, and he has been studying the restoration plan in Zhenjun Chahai's memory over the past few years.
The formation materials and some space treasures that may be leaked are all being processed in secret.
Four or five years after returning to Yunxia Sect.
The fourth-level real puppet controlled by Master Wei is also quietly carrying out this matter, going out for transactions and purchases, and is more active than Lu Changan.
Master Wei has achieved the fourth level of True Puppet and wants to return to Daqing for revenge as soon as possible.
"Qingshan, I heard that you have been preparing elixir-forming materials in recent years."
Lu Changan looked at Xiao Qingshan, who was in the late stage of foundation construction and looked full of energy.
This boy's side sect has excellent qualifications, his "Yin Yang Double Cauldron Method" is getting better and better day by day, and he has all the financial resources and Taoist companions. After so many years, his appearance is still young and in full bloom.
In addition to Lu Changan's care, the Xiao family also fully supported him. Now he has a Taoist monk and many beautiful concubines.
Except for the Taoist couple Si Lu, the other ordinary wives and beautiful concubines are all disguised marriages between powerful factions within the sect.
"Qingshan is stupid, and is still a little short of reaching the peak of foundation building. I listened to Elder Xiang's teachings, be lenient in things, and have been preparing for twenty years in advance."
Xiao Qingshan replied humbly and respectfully.
Lu Changan nodded slightly, chatted with Xiao Qingshan about daily life, gave him some guidance on his practice, and taught him how to form an elixir.
Lu Changan once transformed the golden elixir three times and his experience in concluding the elixir was unparalleled by few people in the world of immortality.
As the only confidant of True Lord Nascent Soul and the chief steward of the main peak, Xiao Qingshan is a famous person in the sect, and his treatment is comparable to that of a true disciple.
When it comes to preparing pill-forming resources, Xiao Qingshan basically has no shortage, and what he is looking for is better spiritual objects.
Before Lu Changan left Dayuan, he also prepared a superior elixir-forming spiritual object for Xiao Qingshan that suited him.
Once you reach the Nascent Soul level, it is easy to build elixir resources.
"By the way, leave a copy of your experience in practicing the "Dragon and Phoenix Double Cauldron" when you go back. A friend from a certain family is interested in this."
Before leaving, Lu Changan added something.
"Yes, Mr. Xiang Zhen."
Xiao Qingshan agreed and did not dare to ask any more questions.
The "Dragon and Phoenix Double Cauldron Technique" was originally obtained from Patriarch Tianluo. This side sect technique was obtained by Patriarch Tianluo from an ancient cave. After studying it for a lifetime, he still did not fully understand it.
Lu Changan asked the talented Xiao Qingshan to practice and continue to accumulate experience and improve the shortcomings.
This is to pave the way for the next life.
However, the Evergreen Kung Fu does not have the length of follow-up training in the Nascent Soul stage. It only strengthens and accumulates mana on a daily basis, which is inefficient and slow in progress.
Lu Changan has had more discussions with Fairy Zixia in recent years, and it is not because he is obsessed with women.
Instead, I discovered that the "Dragon and Phoenix Double Cauldron Method" can improve the efficiency of cultivation and barely make up for the lack of skills.
Jiang Ziyan is a Nascent Soul female cultivator. If she were to be replaced by a deputy cauldron below the late stage of pill formation, the effect would probably not be as good.
Of course, Jiang Ziyan also benefited from this method. Even if it cannot reach the middle stage of Nascent Soul, it is beneficial to the essence and spirit, which can be nourished in the Double Cauldron Method.
…
Lu Changan did not make an appointment to meet with Jing Wufeng immediately.
He had a premonition that the time to return to Daqing was not far away.
Just waiting for the space formation to be repaired.
Before setting off, Lu Changan met with True Lord Zixia again and revealed his intentions tactfully, saying that he missed his hometown.
Jiang Ziyan was not surprised. From various signs, she felt that this day was getting closer.
She didn't hold back, but looked slightly gloomy, bit her lower lip lightly, met his eyes and asked:
"When is Dalong planning to go back?"
"As little as three to five years, as much as within ten years." Lu Changan is not sure, it mainly depends on the progress of repairing the formation.
If everything goes well, meeting Jing Wufeng this time and going out will be enough.
Of course, repairing the formation also takes time and must be done carefully and without any oversights.
"Will Dalong return to the Great Abyss in the future?"
"There will definitely be a chance someday."
Lu Changan answered in the affirmative with a smile on his face.
This is not a polite statement.
He masters the space transmission channel and seeks a higher realm in the future. There will be more resources and opportunities in Dayuan.
After receiving Lu Changan's affirmation and comfort, Jiang Ziyan's eyebrows soothed.
It's just a slight smile during conversation, without a bit of liveliness.
It can be seen that Lu Changan's departure has a certain psychological impact on Fairy Zixia, and the impact is not small.
"By the way, has Master Le expressed any difficulties to Yunxia Sect in recent years?"
Lu Changan changed the topic and said.
"In recent years, the relationship between Master Le's lineage and our sect has heated up, and transactions have been maintained. However, Master Le and his descendants have not expressed any request for help from the Yunxia Sect."
Jiang Ziyan knows a thing or two about the agreement between Lu Changan and Master Le.
Master Le provided the main ingredient to refine the Infant Transformation Pill for Lu Changan, who owed him a favor.
This matter has spread throughout the Alchemy Alliance's sphere of influence.
In particular, the Double Dragons of the Central Region are famous in the Great Abyss. This rumor has been known by many high-level monks and Yuanying old monsters under the promotion of thoughtful people.
"Does this old fox intend to never use this promise?"
Lu Changan couldn't help but think of a possibility.
For the promises he owed back then, Lu Changan was not outstanding among the Nascent Soul monks except for having a fourth-level demon king.
Nowadays, Master Le's investment has appreciated, and he has received the promise of a mid-stage Nascent Soul giant.
This promise will also be valid for future generations within a hundred years.
The information leaked by Master Le did not mention the deadline of one hundred years.
If this promise is not used, even if the music master is old and frail, or even dies, this deterrent will still exist.
Many times, the trump card that is not used is more of a deterrent.
Lu Changan pondered and said: "Let the disciples send a message to remind Master Le. Just say that Xiang may travel for decades in the future. This promise is not needed. Xiang may not be found at the critical moment."
The promise made back then was not an oath, Lu Changan kindly reminded me.
Jiang Ziyan nodded and said, "I will tell people to tell you."
…
Mentioning Master Le, Lu Changan thought of the remaining fourth-level longevity pill.
Master Le once said that there are channels that can help Lu Changan sell this elixir and trade the precious materials needed.
However, the Yuanying old monster that Master Le contacted provided the wood-type heaven and earth spiritual objects and puppet refining materials, which were slightly worse than Lu Changan's expectations.
Lu Changan wondered if this old fox was acting as a middleman and took part of the kickback.
Over the years, he has successively obtained ice green phoenix feathers, roc bird wings, and nine-headed bird skeletons. His taste has improved and his demand has accordingly decreased.
In addition, after being promoted to the fourth level of divination, using "Withered Wood Divine Light" would shorten his life a lot, so Lu Changan decided to take it himself.
That night.
Lu Changan took the third level 4 longevity pill.
This time, the life extension effect has been compromised again, extending life by approximately 76 and a half years.
But the effect is still better than that of ordinary monks.
Lu Changan's total life span has once again returned to more than 2,200 years.
Compared with when he first entered the Nascent Soul stage, his magic power, especially magical powers and secret techniques, has been significantly improved.
However, the little bit of silver in Lu Changan's temple hair did not recover on its own.
During the Demon Sealing Journey, before the battle between the Seven True Lords, Lu Changan spent a large amount of lifespan in a short period of time to improve his divination skills in order to increase his chances of winning, leaving such traces as testimony.
Lu Changan let nature take its course and did not use the Evergreen Kung Fu to repair it deliberately.
…
A few days later.
The boundary between Yunxia Sect and Dashan Mountain is in an inconspicuous valley.
Two Nascent Soul level escaping lights landed one after another.
"I haven't seen you for a few years. My Taoist friend Jing has made great progress in his cultivation."
Lu Changan keenly sensed that Jing Wufeng's magical aura was stronger than last time.
In just four or five years, such cultivation progress is considered to be extremely rapid in the Nascent Soul stage.
"Haha, thanks to fellow Taoist Xiang, the trophies gained last time were exchanged for a lot of training materials."
Jing Wufeng wore a green silk shirt lined with ancient armor, returning to his former leisurely posture.
"Fellow Taoist Xiang, please accept these two things."
Jing Wufeng flicked his sleeves, and a storage bag and a jade slip floated in front of Lu Changan.
Lu Changan looked at the storage bag.
There are precious materials inside. In addition to the fourth-level treasure materials suitable for puppet refining, there are also several space-based formation materials.
"Fellow Daoist Jing is interested."
Lu Changan nodded in thanks. The materials in the storage bag were more than enough to make up for the losses of the puppet army.
Half of the puppet army formation was damaged. Lu Changan asked Yunxia Sect to help purchase it, and now he has collected part of it.
Even after experiencing a demonic disaster, it is not that easy to gather the materials for eight third-level high-grade puppets.
Monster materials alone are not enough to create a complete puppet, you also need certain core components unique to the puppet.
Lu Changan looked at the jade slip again, which recorded the method of conceiving a baby in ancient times.
"The method of nurturing a baby with the way of heaven."
Lu Changan felt happy that he finally got this thing.
Looking at the entire country of Dayu, only the royal family may have this method of nurturing a baby.
The ancient methods of nurturing babies recorded in jade slips include both human nurturing and celestial nurturing.
Lu Changan did a quick scan and found that the method of conceiving a baby in ancient times was more crude and simple, leaning towards natural understanding.
Unlike today's methods of childbirth, the skill of constantly improving is like walking on thin ice.
"The birth of a child in heaven is indeed difficult to achieve compared to ascending to heaven!"
Lu Changan put away the jade slips and sighed.
Even if there was a way to conceive a baby in the way of heaven, Lu Changan thought that if he conceive a baby again, he would have a 20% better chance of winning.
"Haha, no one dares to try the Tiandao method of nurturing babies now, and its value has been greatly reduced. This is how Xiang Daoyou can successfully obtain it."
The Tiandao method of childbirth that Jing Wufeng gave to Lu Changan was not for the sect's own use, but was obtained from other sources by the previous ancestors and kept in the mountain gate library.
Therefore, there is no need to alarm Master about this matter, just inform the old servant in the library.
"Jing has completed two of the three conditions mentioned by Xiang Zhenjun that day."
Jing Wufeng smiled again, saying that he didn't want to be in debt.
Lu Changan did not refuse: "Xiang happens to have some questions about the space formation that he doesn't understand, and he wants to ask Mr. Jing Zhen for help."
The formation repair plan in Zhenjun Chahai's memory is only a rough idea, and some details need to be improved.
Jing Wufeng is also a fourth-level array mage and is good at space. He is better at this field than Zhenjun Chahai.
Listening to Lu Changan's question, Jing Wufeng thought about it from time to time and answered it seriously.
During the discussion where he asked questions and solved his doubts, Jing Wufeng soon discovered that Lu Changan also knew the formations, and was no worse than a senior third-level formation master.
"I didn't expect Xiang Zhenjun to be so knowledgeable and talented. In addition to being proficient in divination and puppet refining, he also dabbled in formations."
"Know a little bit."
Lu Changan smiled humbly and explained, "A certain family's puppet military formation requires a foundation in formation knowledge."
Jing Wufeng was not surprised and did not get entangled. After all, Xiang Dalong had cultivated his youth skills and was relatively old.
When it comes to erudition, no one in Tianheng Continent can compare with his master, and this has been the case for all the founders of the mountain sect.
Half a day later.
Lu Changan's confusion in repairing the formation was solved.
Jing Wufeng patiently explained, and Lu Changan benefited a lot from the space formation.
"If there are still problems later, Xiang may still trouble Taoist Jing."
Lu Changan said shamelessly.
"No problem! The space formation repairs involved by Fellow Daoist Xiang are actually routine issues."
Jing Wufeng also improved his own formation by solving doubts and discussions and providing solutions.
Lu Changan felt confident that the detailed plan to repair the formation was no longer a problem.
In terms of repair materials, the gap is not big now.
He does not want to repair the formation 100%, but only needs more than 80% to be able to undertake the Yuanying monk's shuttle through the space channel.
