The moment before Shen Laoxie's Nascent Soul was destroyed.
Ding ding!
The blue-armored puppet was guarding Lu Changan in front of him. The thorn shield with its arms spread out helped the master block two feathered poisonous needles. This was about the same time as the nail-headed arrow hit Shen Laoxie.
Shen Laoxie simply could not imagine that Lu Changan still had hidden Nascent Soul combat power, so his last opportune burst of interference failed to have any effect.
In this battle, Wei Puppet Master acted as a back-up support and did not directly participate in the siege.
If you are very unlucky, the Wanlao Monster will be nearby and the True Level 4 Puppet can intercept it.
After Shen Laoxie's Nascent Soul collapsed.
On the other side, the poisonous dragon that was being beaten by Lord Diyan's body froze, the divine light in his eyes suddenly extinguished, and his soul collapsed.
Apparently it triggered an unequal spiritual pet contract.
As long as the owner dies, the spiritual pet will die together, prompting the latter to protect the owner loyally.
Unless your cultivation level exceeds the spiritual contract level, you can be exempted to a certain extent.
Fortunately, only the soul was destroyed, and the body of the poisonous dragon was completely preserved, which is of considerable value.
…
In the vast ocean waters.
Mr. Diyan took over Shen Laoxie's two magic weapons and storage props.
After counting, Lu Changan couldn't help but look happy.
Shen Laoxie's poisonous fire fan was originally intended to be an imitation of the spiritual treasure [Five Birds Poisonous Fire Fan], using the wings of five fourth-level spiritual birds to create a top-quality magic weapon.
Due to the high difficulty of refining, the master refiner made mistakes, and even the imitation product failed to meet expectations.
Therefore, in the previous fighting method, the poisonous fire fan only produced four colors of poisonous fire, instead of five poisonous fires.
The material of this magic weapon is of high quality, and it was later modified to contain three feathered poisonous needles. It is very practical and suits Lu Changan's taste.
Even if it is not used in the future, the materials can be dismantled and recycled as spare parts to improve or repair the supernatural peacock puppet.
Among Shen Laoxie's storage props, there is a drawing of animal skin with a special material, which records the method of making the Lingbao [Five Birds Poison Fire Fan].
Although it is an animal skin drawing, it carries as much information as a jade slip, and it contains a certain charm, allowing the monks to feel some of its true meaning.
According to what is said on the blueprint, to create a true spiritual treasure, you need to successfully nurture the weapon spirit and survive a special magic treasure tribulation.
The spiritual treasure that has survived the four tribulations is called the heaven-reaching spiritual treasure.
But in today's world of immortality, it is more difficult to birth a true spiritual treasure than to become a god-like heavenly king. Not to mention the second or third calamity spiritual treasure.
Most of the spiritual treasures circulated in the world are fake spiritual treasures, such as the [Sky-Splitting Ax] that Jing Wufeng obtained in the Ancient You Palace.
Shen Laoxie's natal magic weapon [Ten Thousand Poison Flags] is not very good. It is mainly suitable for poison practitioners. The more poisons are refined, the stronger the power.
There are also two high-grade magic weapons in Shen Laoxie's space props as backup.
The magic treasures themselves were not particularly attractive to Lu Changan, but the drawings of the magic treasures mainly brought him surprises.
Lu Changan can accumulate in many lives. Even if he cannot do it in this life, there is still hope in the next life.
…
Among the spoils of war there are many divination wonders, and there are several of them at the third level.
The most valuable item is a broken horn of a strange beast.
"Interesting! The natural animal horn's spirituality has almost disappeared, but its ability to conceal the secrets of heaven is comparable to the fourth-level divination wonders."
Lu Changan rubbed the broken horn. Due to the age, weathering and incompleteness of the items, the origin of the heels could not be seen.
Of course, this horn only has the effect of concealing the secrets of heaven. It is not considered a divination magic item and cannot increase the divination ability.
Shen Laoxie is a fourth-level poison master who raises pseudo-fourth-level poisonous dragons, so he has a lot of exotic flowers and fruits, spiritual beast supplies, and poison refining materials in reserve.
In addition to the ready-made fourth-level poisons, those high-quality poison refining materials can increase the diversity of Lu Changan’s fourth-level poisonous reserves.
"These spiritual beast qualifications will be rewarded to you."
Lu Changan raised his hand and distributed a pile of bottles, jars, animal elixirs, herbs, spiritual flesh and blood food to Lord Diyan.
"Thank you Master for the gift."
Mr. Diyan accepted the reward and bowed to express his thanks.
It was somewhat greedy for the poisonous dragon, but Lu Changan had no intention of leaving it entirely to its disposal.
In addition, Shen Laoxie also has half of the baby-making resources in reserve, including a mature Tianying fruit.
As a result, the material reserves prepared by Lu Changan for the birth of a baby overflowed.
If you kill old monsters of Yuanying regularly and harvest their trophies, you will understand:
Most of the strategic resources for cultivating immortals are in their hands.
Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary monks without background and great opportunities to reach the top of the world of immortality.
…
At the scene of the fight, the vast ocean blocks the view of the outside world.
Lu Changan deliberately stayed for a while and did not wait for another Yuanying old monster to come over.
"It seems that the old monster won't come over."
Lu Changan made some calculations and came to a conclusion.
The two mortal enemies of the Celestial Master most likely have a communication method.
Although Wan Laoguai's strength is slightly inferior to that of Shen Laoxie, he is proficient in the art of divination.
If the crisis is particularly close, Wanlaoguai may act on a whim and develop fuzzy feelings, making him more cautious.
If this booby-trapped plan to lure the snake out of its hole was replaced by Wan Lao Monster, the success rate might not be as high.
In addition to the booby trap plan, Lu Changan also has a backup assassination plan.
First change your identity and join the hostile force, and then use the ability of [Black Wind Cloak] to mask your breath to find the right opportunity to assassinate the Nascent Soul monster.
Of course, this plan is a mid-range solution and requires waiting for the right opportunity and a lot of time.
Once you fail to kill the Nascent Soul monster instantly and are surrounded by enemy forces, your identity and methods will be easily exposed in front of everyone.
"That's all, I have completed my agreement with the Heavenly Master."
Lu Changan didn't force it.
He put away the blue sea flag magic weapon that caused the ocean tsunami.
As the sea flag shrank, a dark blue turtle escaped from the deep water.
With the owner's permission, the Xuan Shui Turtle performs the water escape method and can be collected and integrated into the sea flag magic weapon.
The magic power of Xuan Shui Turtle is more suitable for the sea flag magic weapon. It can assist Lu Changan in guarding and controlling it, and the effect is better. It can also reduce the consumption of the master's magic power and consciousness.
Lu Changan learned about such a wonderful method from the memory of True Lord Chahai.
The condition is that the master of the magic weapon agrees and the target must be proficient in water escape.
As Lu Changan put away the magic weapon of the sea flag, the monstrous tsunami stopped, and most of the ocean water was sucked away by the sea flag.
Shen Laoxie's [Ten Thousand Poison Flags] lost control for a while, and the poisonous miasma that enveloped the surrounding area for several miles spread towards the sky and in all directions.
Downwind dozens of miles away.
In the early stage of alchemy formation hidden behind the sand dunes, the skin was itchy and had a burning sensation. By the time he realized it, it was already too late.
There was a burst of screams, and the body of the Poison Dragon Pond's intelligence tracking expert began to fester uncontrollably, and soon turned into a pool of black blood.
"The mysterious Nascent Soul that fought with Ancestor Shen activated the magical water magic weapon and caused a huge tsunami!"
"Old Ancestor Shen's aura has dropped and disappeared. He is suspected of being defeated. His life and death are unknown. He is not sure about his escape from Nascent Soul."
"The water-based skills and magical powers are not adapted to the desert environment. The mysterious Nascent Soul can defeat Ancestor Shen so quickly. I am afraid that his strength is far superior to others."
For hundreds of miles around Dou Fa, intelligence information from Poison Dragon Pond and other forces was rapidly transmitted.
Those who obtain information are not necessarily human monks, strange insects and beasts, puppet birds, or photographic treasures. They can monitor remotely on behalf of their owners.
However, the area where the two true kings are fighting is shrouded in ocean waters and miasmatic poisonous fog, and the specific details inside are obscured. One can only draw a general judgment through the sight of the fighting.
Unless there is a Nascent Soul Lord nearby to spy, more accurate information can be obtained.
…
Thousands of miles away in the desert, a ray of light from the Nascent Soul suddenly stopped,
"Hiss! Did Shen Laoxie fall so quickly?"
The old man in cloth clothes with dry and wrinkled skin was looking at the dim jade pendant in his hand. The expression on his face seemed to be greatly frightened.
Wan Laoguai had a contact method with Shen Laoxie, but it was suddenly interrupted just now.
When they first contacted and summoned each other, they were far away and Shen Laoxie only sent a vague message:
One is "asking for help", which means encountering a strong enemy. This is the basic function of communicating spiritual objects and can be transmitted over a longer distance.
The second message is "Blue Dragon". Due to distance restrictions, the specific information is unclear and may refer to the identity of the other party.
Wan Laoxie and Shen Laoxie have been friends for hundreds of years, and have a deep bond of cause and effect. Just now, through looking at the aura from a distance and divination, they came to the conclusion that their old friend had died.
There was a "click" sound.
Wan Laoguai's expression changed, and his palm suddenly exerted force, crushing the jade pendant that communicated with him.
Immediately, Wan Laoguai didn't even look back and drove up the Escape Light with all his strength.
He did not hesitate to waste his essence, blood and vitality, and quickly approached the middle stage of Nascent Soul, escaping to the realm of the two sects.
"Old friend Shen, I'm sorry!"
"That mysterious strong man named 'Qinglong' can kill you so quickly. Only with the magical power of at least the mid-stage Nascent Soul can he do it. Coupled with the calculation of the old dog of the Heavenly Master..."
Although the friendship is deep, it is impossible for Wan Laoguai to risk his own life.
He decisively gave up the power and industry supported by the Outer Sect Alliance and decided not to set foot in Feng Yuan Kingdom or the territory of the Outer Sect Alliance for at least a hundred years.
…
Poison Dragon Pond Oasis, a medium-sized oasis thousands of miles away.
An elegant man with silver hair and a snow robe stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the direction where Lu Changan and Shen Laoxie were fighting.
The silver-haired snow-robed man, named Elder Xuesong, visited Xuanyin Pavilion on behalf of the Heavenly Master and communicated with Lu Changan.
At this time, the pupils of Elder Cedar's eyes turned into black ink droplets, slowly rotating like a Yin and Yang diagram, gaining insight into the fate of heaven.
In order to grasp the movements of his mortal enemy and understand the details of Lu Changan's magical powers, the Heavenly Master used the "Spirit Possession Technique" to descend on Elder Xuesong, so that the distance would be closer, making it easier to obtain clues to the heavenly secrets.
"So soon? Shen Laoxie has already fallen?"
The Heavenly Master was shocked and uncertain, and could not believe the results of the divination, so he confirmed it again and again.
How many days have passed since the day of planning?
Master Zhong waited patiently in the Holy Land of Snow Mountain, and his buttocks were not even hot...
Lu Changan fulfilled the agreed commitments at an unexpected speed, even exceeding expectations.
Master Zhong Tianshi did not ask Lu Changan to completely kill an old Yuanying monster, but it was enough to seriously injure or force the Yuanying out of its body and drive it back to the land of the two religions.
"That kid's promotion in the early stage of Yuanying was not more than one rank. The old Yuanying monster he killed was still a strong player in the early stage of Yuanying. This killing speed was faster than Zhenjun Aoki..."
Master Zhong Tianshi did not visit the scene of the fight in person and could not deduce the specific process.
Lu Changan is also a fourth-level divination master. Ever since he entered the Outer Sect Alliance, he has been unable to predict specific trends.
Zhong Tianshi suspected that Lu Changan deliberately concealed the secret to prevent himself from prying into it. He might also have powerful magical artifacts and secret treasures on him that could resist speculation.
He could only roughly assess Lu Changan's strength.
I used to think it could compete with the mid-Nascent Soul to protect itself. Now it seems that it is a real threat to kill in the mid-Nascent Soul.
Even if he is in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, there is no guarantee that he can surely kill those in the early stage of Nascent Soul who are running for their lives regardless of the cost.
Every mid-stage Nascent Soul is a powerful giant who dominates a territory.
When encountering an ordinary Nascent Soul, one must be vigilant and cautious, and be mentally prepared to take precautions and run away.
On the contrary, people like Lu Changan who are in the early stage of Nascent Soul are even more confusing.
"The stronger Shen Laoxie has fallen, and most of the old monsters have fled. The next endgame will be easier to handle..."
Zhong Tianshi gave up his desire to explore and was in a good mood, so he asked Elder Xuesong, who was in the "spirit-possessed" state, to fly straight to the direction of the Poison Dragon Pond.
…
In the Poison Dragon Pond Oasis, the major forces that learned the information fell into chaos.
Some forces and high-level monks began to flee.
at some point.
Shen Laoxie's head and body fell from the sky, confirming the intelligence from the previous battle and bringing more panic.
Above the clouds, a deep ocean water surges, and the powerful spiritual pressure of the mysterious Nascent Soul Lord is looming.
The many monks on the oasis seemed to be suppressed under the deep sea, feeling as if their bodies were exploding and suffocating.
"My killing of Old Monster Shen has nothing to do with you."
Fortunately, in the vast water above the clouds, the mysterious Yuanying did not express his anger, which made the cultivators in the oasis calm down.
Not long after, the Master of the Poison Dragon Pond and another late-stage pill-forming monk, summoned by the spiritual consciousness of the mysterious Nascent Soul Lord, went to the vast waters above the clouds.
Poison Dragon Pond Oasis has a fourth-level formation, which can theoretically block a block of Nascent Soul monks, but that is to deal with ordinary Nascent Soul early stages.
The powerful Nascent Soul that can kill Shen Laoxie so quickly cannot stop him for long.
In order to quickly create the fourth-level spiritual veins in Poison Dragon Pond, they are micro-sized, much smaller than the fourth-level spiritual veins in Jinyun Valley. There is only enough room for one Nascent Soul Lord to practice, and the range and power of the formation are not ideal.
Communicate for a moment.
The two masters of Poison Dragon Pond, as if granted amnesty, returned to the Poison Dragon Pond Oasis to deliver the mysterious Nascent Soul's will to all major forces.
That day, the forces on the oasis called on the formation masters to dismantle the tiny fourth-level spiritual vein.
With a cultivation level of fake elixir or above, many high-level monks work together to downgrade the tiny fourth-order spiritual vein into a third-order high-grade spiritual vein in just a few days.
It's not a deliberate attempt to destroy the spiritual veins, it's just splitting them apart so there won't be much luck backlash.
Even if it harms one's luck, it is not a big deal if it is borne by a group of high-level monks.
Anyway, Lu Changan didn't move a finger.
He just told the two major cultivators in the later stage of the Dan Formation that the outer sect alliance does not allow the existence of Nascent Soul forces.
What to do, Poison Dragon Pond Master and others will figure out and take action on their own.
That night, Elder Xuesong, who was possessed by the Heavenly Master, came to the Poison Dragon Pond Oasis on behalf of the will of the Snow Mountain.
The two most critical pieces of the split tiny fourth-order spiritual veins were bought by Daxueshan, and the price was relatively low.
The senior officials of Dulongtan dare not speak out in anger.
Without the support of the Yuanying old monster in the land of the two religions, the Outer Sect Alliance can only rely on Feng Yuan Kingdom and rely on others.
"Master Zhong Tianshi, Mr. Xu has done all the dirty work. You are showing off your tiger skin in the snowy mountains and harvesting low-priced assets. You are quite positive."
In the guest room of the oasis, inland Chang'an suddenly appeared behind the possessed elder Xuesong.
The Heavenly Master was shocked, this gentleman was really mysterious and mysterious.
Of course, his spirit-possessed state at the moment is much worse than the normal Nascent Soul's senses, and he does not have the formation restrictions of the Snowy Mountains.
"Haha, compared to what Xu Zhenjun gained from killing Old Monster Shen, it's not worth mentioning."
Zhong Tianshi made a haha and promised to increase the previously agreed reward by 30% on the basis of doubling the amount of killing Nascent Soul.
Zhong Tianshi was envious in his heart. He knew that Shen Laoxie had a lot of good things, so he came here just to drink some soup and increase the spiritual heritage of Daxue Mountain.
"Is there any treasure in the Daxue Mountain treasure house that can be used to capture the Yuanying spirit body?"
Lu Changan said with great interest.
"Capturing the treasure of Nascent Soul is extremely rare in the world of immortality. What is Xu Zhenjun's plan to pursue this thing?"
Master Zhong couldn't help but squint his eyes and look at the elegant middle-aged man with a gentle face and harmless appearance.
"Nothing! When dealing with Shen Laoxie before, I wanted to capture his Nascent Soul and trade with the Evil Lord in the future to sell it for a good price. Unfortunately, there was no corresponding treasure and I accidentally killed him."
Lu Changan said half truthfully.
Master Zhong Tianshi's face twitched slightly, this gentleman was not satisfied with killing the veteran Yuanying, and actually wanted to capture the Yuanying alive.
"In the treasure house of Daxue Mountain, there is a rare treasure called the 'Ghost Spider Spiritual Net', which can trap the Yuanying spirit body. However, this ghost spider web has a shortcoming. The activation speed cannot keep up with the Yuanying spirit body's escape speed.
It can predict the activation and trap the injured and weak Nascent Soul spirit body in the early stage. It can actively capture the Nascent Soul spirit body that has left the body in full bloom, and the success rate is average."
"Okay, something is better than nothing."
Lu Changan smiled and decided to exchange the reward for this rare treasure.
Under normal circumstances, [Ghost Spider's Spiritual Network] is indeed useless against the Nascent Soul that has an orifice.
However, Lu Changan happened to have the means to seriously injure the Nascent Soul spirit body.
If the ghost spider web is not powerful enough, you can use level four baby poison to make up for it.
As for predicting the escape direction of the Nascent Soul spirit body, this depends on personal ability and a bit of luck.
…
A few days later.
Elder Xuesong, who was possessed by the Heavenly Master, went to Gutian Fairy City. Xuanji Tower, the strongest puppet organization in the Outer Sect Alliance backed by Wanlaoguai, took root here.
As a result, Gutian Fairy City and Xuanji Tower didn't quite buy it, and launched a quasi-fourth-level formation. There were many high-level puppets in the city, forming a military formation.
Defend with all your strength, generally Nascent Soul cannot be broken in the short term in the early stage.
The Heavenly Master was a little embarrassed for a moment. He himself was sitting in the Snow Mountain Holy Land. Even if he came here and left the eight deserted cities of Feng Yuan Kingdom, his combat power would not be able to defeat Shen Laoxie.
Facing the current Lu Changan, he did not dare to meet him in person outside the Snow Mountain Holy Land.
Fortunately, Lu Changan asked the blue-armored puppet controlled by Master Wei to come forward. Gutian Xiancheng and Xuanji Tower relented and were willing to negotiate with representatives of Daxue Mountain.
Master Wei Puppet was the veteran of the Xuanji Building and served as the building owner.
The current owner of Xuanji is the ancient city owner of Puppet Arm, who once fought against the Peacock Saint.
The ancient city lord was considered a junior and half-inherited disciple of Puppet Master Wei.
In the city, the ancient city lord secretly met with Wei Puppet Master's true fourth-level puppet. He appeared shocked, excited, and extremely adoring.
Respect for the elders is only part of it, and there is also the shock of seeing a true fourth-order puppet with your own eyes.
The ancient city lord serves as the owner of the Xuanji Building. His puppet refining skills have reached the fourth level and he is a puppet master of the fourth level. He admires and is sincerely convinced.
Afterwards, Gutian Fairy City established friendly trade relations with the Snow Mountain Holy Land, took control of its sovereignty, and was no longer instigated by the old monster Nascent Soul from the two places of religion.
The puppet masters of Xuanji Tower are mainly craftsmen. They have no ambitions to seek a snow-capped mountain holy land. They just want a place where they can practice and study comfortably.
Zhong Tianshi also has no intention to expand the territory of Feng Yuan Kingdom, which will distract the Snow Mountain Holy Land's "secret treasure" from controlling the power of celestial phenomena.
The eight deserted cities of Feng Yuan Kingdom all have ancient formations that are rooted in them, echoing the Snow Mountain Holy Land. Beyond this range, the Heavenly Master has no control.
…
Regarding the matter of Gutian Immortal City, Lu Changan could only do it with a little effort, but Master Zhong accepted it.
"With Xu Daoyou's strength and divination skills, I'm afraid I have nothing to repay you?"
Master Zhong Tianshi sighed, pretending to be distressed.
He wouldn't mind taking the initiative to owe Lu Changan a small favor and interact with him more.
Lu Changan pondered and said: "If Master Zhong Tianshi is serious, he will continue to take care of the Yun Family's twin prides and Xuanyin Pavilion in the future."
Master Zhong Tianshi readily agreed.
"By the way, does Zhong Tianshi know the fourth-level alchemy master..."
Lu Changan thought about the overflowing Yingying resources, among which the materials for the Yinghua Dan had been gathered, and he needed to hire someone to refine them.
He wants to secretly refine the fourth-level elixir and the third-level exquisite life-extending elixir.
There is a shortage of fourth-level alchemists around the Wei Dao Alliance. The trade route of Wangyue Immortal City is controlled by the Six Demonic Sects, and there are risks and variables.
"There is an alchemy master in the land of the two religions. He once received help from Pindao in divination and owes him a favor. Fellow Taoist Xu can take Pindao's token so that he can help refine the elixir."
"Okay, then I'll trouble Master Zhong Tian."
Lu Changan is in a happy mood. If he makes more friends with Yuanying, he will be able to expand his network of contacts.
"Fellow Daoist Xu's next trip should be to Xuanyin Pavilion, right?"
Master Zhong Tianshi smiled and proactively suggested:
"Pindao will then order someone to send the tokens, [Ghost Spider's Spiritual Net] and other rewards to Xuanyin Pavilion."
"Master Zhong Tianshi is so thoughtful! Xu admired the scenery of the Snowy Mountains and was planning to go there again."
Lu Changan looked flattered and said with a half-smile.
The Heavenly Master quickly waved his hand and said in an enthusiastic tone:
"No, no! This Heavenly Master personally attaches the spirit to ensure safe delivery. There is no need for Fellow Daoist Xu to make another trip!"
