"Thank you for the gift? This Miss Fu is an honest person."
Lu Changan took the exquisite gift box with a calm expression.
The cave here is at the foot of Huanglong Mountain, which prevents the prying eyes of real people. Even if you are dissatisfied, it is best not to show it.
Although there is no great bitterness or deep hatred, Lu Changan still remembers the hatred of blocking the road in his heart.
"The glory and prosperity of Huanglong Immortal City only lasted for the past two hundred years. The most famous casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom, Huanglong Zhenren, only lived for more than a hundred years. Compared with the long history, it is like a flash in the pan."
After two lifetimes, Lu Changan has seen too many ups and downs.
As strong as Huanglong Zhenren, he will eventually grow old one day.
Fu Xuemei is emotional and may not be able to carry the banner, especially when she helps her younger brother regardless of the cost.
Plant a cause today, and it will bear fruit tomorrow.
"Fu Xuemei, I hope you can go further and don't die midway."
"Master Hua, make some more longevity pills for yourself."
Lu Changan is not worried about not being able to take revenge in the future, but he is worried that his enemy will not survive that day.
If that day comes.
He doesn't mind punching Nanshan Nursing Home and kicking Beihai Kindergarten.
Most of the strong men of every era have a short peak period, and there will always be a trough in life, or even the day when the hero reaches his twilight years.
If he cultivates his skills, he will still be in peak condition. Don't blame him for not practicing martial ethics and bullying the elderly.
If the old bones are hard to chew, there is still a risk of bullying your descendants. Isn't that easy?
…
Lu Changan's thoughts were racing as he opened Fu Xuemei's exquisite gift box.
Inside the gift box, there is a well-made talisman pen. The pen barrel is dark blue and the tip of the pen is made of medium-tough material.
"A second-level middle-grade talisman pen." Lu Changan's eyes lit up.
The talisman pen he is using now is only a second-level low-grade one and cannot display his true strength.
The thank you gift Fu Xuemei promised was sincere.
A second-level mid-grade talisman pen, plus a genuine Foundation-Building Pill, can be traded for a high-quality Foundation-Building Pill, and the price difference is not big.
The high-quality foundation-building pills only have a half-percent chance of being used compared to ordinary foundation-building pills, but due to scarcity, the value increases by more than half.
If you encounter Master Jiedan and want to forcefully build a foundation for future generations, the price premium may be doubled.
Fu Xuemei also promised a favor.
In terms of value alone, Lu Changan has lost nothing.
Considering that he successfully built the foundation, he actually made a fortune.
Lu Changan put away his talisman pen and his mood improved a lot.
Considering the sincerity of this talisman pen, Lu Changan would at best be more gentle in the future.
…
"Fellow Daoist Lu, since you've been bothering me for so long, I'll go back to my base in Jinyun Valley first."
After chatting for a long time, Zhao Siyao stood up and left.
"Lu was able to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill this time and successfully break through. Fellow Daoist Zhao is indispensable."
Before Lu Changan left, he gave Zhao Siyao several second-level talismans.
It is true that even if he goes to the Black Mist Mountains by himself, he is capable of killing the second-level low-grade white jade python.
However, Zhao Siyao was familiar with the environment of the Black Mist Mountains and had an additional solid foundation-building monk, taking a lot of risks on the front.
Moreover, Zhao Siyao also provided cover for this collaboration in alchemy.
"Siyao can't be polite to you, Fellow Daoist Lu."
Zhao Siyao smiled and took the talisman calmly.
At this time, she was completely sure that Lu Changan was already a second-level talisman master.
Lu Changan's talent in the talisman arts shown in the past was not bad. Now, in his seventies, he has established a foundation and revealed his identity as a second-level talisman master. It can be said that it is a matter of course.
…
Next two months.
Guests came to visit one after another, most of them were foundation-building monks.
Some monks, representing the forces behind it, extended an olive branch to Lu Changan, and the terms they offered were very sincere.
Some of them are immortal cultivating families in the city, asking Lu Changan to be a worshipper; or there are large shops asking him, a foundation-building talisman master, to be in charge.
It stands to reason that Lu Changan is a "white-headed man" who has been promoted to the foundation stage and has no potential at all, so he will not be so popular.
Mainly for three reasons.
First, in addition to being a foundation-building monk, Lu Changan is also a very skilled Talisman Master.
Second, there are rumors that Fu Xuemei owes Lu Changan a favor.
Third, Lu Changan has a clean background and a good character. He has a certain reputation for building a foundation in his seventies.
Lu Changan has been in Huanglong Immortal City for so many years. He has practiced low-key and has never caused trouble. He respects his immortals and even took in their female disciples.
When cultivating forces recruit talents, of course they also look at their character.
No force really likes monks with low moral character and those who constantly make enemies and enemies wherever they go.
Lu Changan has a good character, doesn't cause trouble, and is skilled in craftsmanship, so he is naturally popular.
Some monks visit simply to see the "mascot".
Lu Changan built a rare foundation in ancient times, breaking a thousand-year record. It was like a living fossil. These monks were curious and came to pay their respects.
Lu Changan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Fortunately, the visiting monks had no bad intentions, whether they were recruiting, making friends or sightseeing.
Those who visited all brought congratulatory gifts.
Even if Lu Changan became a giant panda for a time, the entrance fee would not be less.
…
Fortunately, the enthusiasm for ancient foundation building has gradually subsided in Huanglong Immortal City.
Once the heat is over, no one will pay attention to Lu Changan.
In the world of cultivating immortals, there are many strange things, and there are all kinds of news every month.
No matter how shocking the news is, it cannot always make the headlines.
Ancient foundation building is just inspirational, not heaven-defying.
Although it broke the millennium record of the Liang Kingdom's Immortal Cultivation World, it did not shock even the slightest splash in the entire history of Daqing and even the vast Immortal Cultivation World.
…
"Promoted to Foundation Establishment, the lighting speed of the Nine Seal Monument in the second life has indeed increased significantly."
On this day, Lu Changan's consciousness entered the Jiuyin Monument.
The "good-looking man" in the first life is completely bright.
The "white-bearded old man" in the second life has a lot of light in his hair.
He estimated that the second life at the peak of the core formation would be lit in about ten years.
During this time, Lu Changan was also thinking about future plans for the foundation building period.
He is not very interested in solicitations from major forces.
One is that they don’t want to be restricted.
Secondly, he has secrets after all. He has been in contact with high-level monks for many years, so it is inevitable that there will be oversights.
"Hua Danshi's model is good. He is an independent cultivator without any restrictions, and he also makes friends with important figures from major forces."
Lu Changan thought to himself.
Alchemist Hua did plot against him. But this person's achievements today were due to his superb alchemy skills and also his extraordinary methods.
Lu Changan and Master Hua are similar in that they both have superb skills.
Alchemist Hua's lifespan is limited and he is already over a hundred years old.
Lu Changan has a long life and a lot of free time.
There is no need to compete for temporary gains and losses. The older you are, the stronger your magic power is.
…
Lu Changan also considered longer-term pill formation.
He was used to planning and preparing in advance, so he went to Huanglong Immortal City at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Without so many years of lead time, it would not be easy to gather all the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill on your own.
Fake elixir, real elixir, golden elixir.
These are the three qualities of elixir formation.
Fake elixirs, also known as inferior elixirs, are considered incomplete elixir formation monks.
For those in this realm, their magic power is only 40% of the true elixir, their life expectancy is extended for a hundred years, and their cultivation will never reach the middle stage of elixir formation.
It means that Nascent Soul is hopeless.
True elixirs and elixir-forming monks with normal or better quality can theoretically have a chance of Nascent Soul. If there is no big chance, the hope is very small.
Golden elixirs, elixir-forming monks with excellent quality, are called the seeds of the Nascent Soul, and have relatively high hopes of being promoted to the Nascent Soul.
"With my qualifications in this life, even if I succeed in building the foundation, according to common sense, my ultimate limit will be to become a fake elixir master."
Lu Changan has a clear conscience.
This does not take into account the bonus of Evergreen Gong.
It is very difficult to obtain fake elixirs if you have lower level spiritual roots. If you want to obtain real elixirs, you must have the opportunity.
In this life, Lu Changan does not ask for golden elixirs. He can form a real elixir of good quality, and the hope of retaining the chance to attack the Nascent Soul is in line with expectations.
"It's too early to plan to form a core. We'll consider it later in the foundation building process."
Lu Changan just looked ahead and sorted out his future practice plans.
…
Entering the foundation building period, it will have a long life.
Even if it is a high-grade spiritual root, ignoring the small realm bottlenecks, it will take at least several decades to cultivate from the early stage of foundation building to the later stage.
Coupled with the bottleneck, it is normal for hundreds of years, and it may not be successful.
In most of the foundation building stages, your cultivation is stuck in the middle stage of foundation building for life and cannot enter the later stage.
Although the progress of Lu Changan's Evergreen Kung Fu is slow, judging from his experience during the Qi Refining Period, there is basically no bottleneck in the small realm.
If this feature is retained.
The disadvantage of the Evergreen Kung Fu being slow to practice is not so obvious after entering the foundation building stage.
"It may take hundreds of years for me to cultivate my health skills during the foundation building period. Now I need to consider strengthening my own means of protecting the Tao."
Lu Changan already had a rough idea of the situation.
First, collect materials as early as possible and draw a second-level high-quality talisman.
Second, purchase more second-level spiritual sand stones to allow the Body Refining Technique to enter the fifth level, corresponding to the middle stage of foundation building.
Third, the Talisman Plan is to perfect the regrets of the previous life.
In the foundation building stage, the best magic weapons can only be regarded as conventional means of protecting the road, and they are basically available in the middle and late stages of foundation building.
What is stronger than the best magic weapon is the talisman.
The talisman seals part of the power of the magic weapon in the talisman.
Generally, it has about 20% of the power of the original magic weapon, and has overwhelming lethality against ordinary foundation-building stages.
However, talisman treasures are rare to find and must be made by Master Jiedan to pay a price.
The "treasure talisman" Lu Changan wanted to prepare was the opposite.
The theory is: use the talisman made of excellent material to cultivate it like a magic weapon.
The longer it is cultivated, the more terrifying the power of the treasure talisman!
