Chapter 189 Trading Outlook

Seeing that this woman had achieved what he expected, Lu Changan was surprised and said:

"Oh? Does Miss Shen have any needs at the moment?"

"Not yet."

Shen Bixin pursed her lips and smiled, praising: "Daoyou Lu has a strong character and a strong will. He is a trustworthy friend in my heart and mind."

"I am satisfied that Daoyou Lu owes me a favor."

Looking at the smiling Shen Bixin, Lu Changan felt strange.

He thought: We are not close friends, how can we know that Mr. Lu has a strong character? Just hearing it from others is not enough.

Shen Bixin's explanation should not be the main reason, there are also some considerations.

But to be honest, Lu Changan rarely has interests with the outside world. He has been practicing low-key and down-to-earth. Coupled with his inspirational reputation of late success, he is indeed well-known in the outside world.

Even though he is nicknamed the Turtle Talisman Master, the outside world mostly teases him, and there is not much malice.

Shen Bixin is considered a married woman.

In order to avoid suspicion, Lu Changan did not stay too long and said goodbye.

Shen Bixin stood up to see him off and suddenly asked:

"Does Daoist Lu seem to have a good relationship with Huanglongshan?"

"Huanglongshan? We have a little contact, but we are not particularly familiar with each other."

Lu Changan replied.

Huanglongshan's Ji Zhenren and Fu Dong had visited Xiaogui Peak in the past. Huanglongshan had helped Lu Changan collect materials, which could not be hidden from the outside world.

"Recently, there are rumors that Huanglong Zhenren is critically ill and may not live for a year or two."

Shen Bixin shared a piece of information.

"Huanglong Zhenren is critically ill?"

Lu Changan was moved and made a slight calculation.

Fourteen or fifteen years have passed since Fu Xuemei formed a pill.

The lifespan of the former first casual cultivator in Liangguo's cultivation world is indeed coming to an end.

Due to various factors, Huanglong Zhenren has lived hundreds of years less than the theoretical lifespan of a Zhendan cultivator.

"Senior Huang Long has been famous in the world of immortal cultivation in Liang State for hundreds of years. He has been respected by all the major sects and families. He can be considered a brilliant life."

Lu Changan said respectfully.

During the peak period of Huang Long's fame, he had not yet entered the immortal path in this life.

The two are not figures of the same era.

Therefore, Lu Changan only heard of his name and never had a direct contact with Huang Long.

"If Huang Long passes away, some forces may take the opportunity to attack the Huang Long Mountain lineage. At that time, Fellow Daoist Lu should be careful."

"Thank you Miss Shen for reminding me."

Lu Changan heard the implication of Shen Bixin's words, bowed and said goodbye, and flew away from the residence of Tengxing Chamber of Commerce.

Shen Bixin watched his back, slightly thinking, and recalled the scene when he was rescued and saw the dawn of life in despair.

She had a hunch that this low-key and down-to-earth turtle talisman master who was not surprised by praise or criticism was not a simple person.

Today's bet may have to wait until one day in the future to be verified.

...

Three months later.

The news of the battlefield in Feng State spread to all parts of Liang State, causing a stir.

At this time, the lower-level cultivators generally knew the news of the defeat of the Liang State sect.

The middle and upper-level cultivators knew the relevant information earlier.

"The Yuanying Zhenjun of Lihuo Palace fought one against two, and unfortunately lost and was injured?"

The mainstream news that Lu Changan got from the outside world described the truth lightly.

It was obviously a disastrous defeat and serious injury, and he almost died, but he described it as "a narrow defeat."

The little cultivators who didn't know the details might be misled and think that the Supreme Elder of Lihuo Palace was invincible and only one move away from fighting against the two Yuanying.

"Lihuo Palace is not strong in external wars, but it is not bad at controlling the public opinion of Liang State's cultivation world."

Lu Changan can understand this.

In the war of cultivation, both countries will spread various false news to confuse the public and cause panic.

It is indeed necessary to control public opinion internally and eliminate rumor makers who are not conducive to unity.

In addition to the situation of Yuanying Zhenjun.

The number of deaths of Jindan Zhenren and foundation-building cultivators has also been concealed to a certain extent.

These will definitely not be hidden from the people of the major forces.

But as long as most of the middle and lower-level cultivators are stabilized, the goal of the upper level of Liangguo Sect will be achieved.

About the news of the war.

The three peak masters of Wu Qishan had a private gathering.

Master Fairy also has her own news channels, mentioning that the Liangguo Sect suffered a disastrous defeat and the losses were greater than the rumors from the outside world.

She speculated that the Liangguo Sect should stop fighting, retreat to the territory, and recuperate.

"I hope that the war will end soon and the Liangguo Xiuxian world will return to stability as soon as possible."

Ye Fei hoped.

Due to the external war, the sect cultivators were transferred out, and the public security in various parts of Liangguo Xiuxian world has declined significantly.

In the past few years, Wu Qishan's business has plummeted.

"I hope so."

Only Lu Changan knew that in the near future, the war is likely to spread to Liangguo.

...

As the news of the war spread.

The correspondence between Jinyun Valley and the outside world returned to normal.

Two months later.

Lu Changan received two letters from Zhao Tan'er.

One of them was a message from Zhao Tan'er herself.

The other was a letter from Zhao Siyao from the front line.

In the letter, Zhao Siyao said that she had evacuated the battlefield and was on her way back to Liangguo Jinyun Valley.

In the letter, there were only a few words describing the war, but it made Lu Changan feel the cruelty of it.

"Thanks to Daoyou Lu, Siyao escaped death. Because I joined forces with Senior Brother Zhang Tieshan, I was lucky enough to kill the enemy's fake Dan Zhenren. That battle was a great achievement. Senior Brother Zhang and I were seriously injured and were able to withdraw in the first batch..."

"Kill the fake Dan Zhenren?"

Lu Changan's head jumped.

Zhao Siyao's description was very subtle. With the tacit understanding between the two, she obviously did not reveal the origin of the talisman.

If that treasure talisman is activated, the outside world will only treat it as an ordinary third-level talisman.

It is not an exaggeration for the sect elites in the late foundation building period to obtain third-level talismans by chance.

A third-level talisman has limited appeal to true elixir cultivators.

"Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for Zhao Siyao to kill the real person Fake Dan with that talisman. Zhang Tieshan probably played a big role and has the means to threaten the real person Fake Dan."

Lu Changan thought deeply.

At the end of the letter, Zhao Siyao hoped that Lu Changan could come over to get together after she and Zhang Tieshan returned to the sect.

Wait for the injury to heal.

Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan will focus on cultivation and plan to form elixirs.

After being tempered on the battlefield, Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan gained a lot, and their cultivation improved more smoothly.

"In a few years, some of the friends I have made in this life may reach the level of real people."

Lu Changan smiled and put away the letter.

Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan's current cultivation levels are at similar levels, both at the ninth level of foundation building.

However, it will still take some years to reach the peak of the later stage of foundation building.

Except these two friends.

Lu Changan's good friend Xianzi, and his friends Song Wenshu and Zhou Qingxuan, are all at a similar level.

He can cultivate to the late stage of foundation building and has defeated most of the monks of the same level.

The step of forming the elixir is more difficult.

Many peak cultivators in the later stages of foundation building have had difficulty succeeding for decades, or they can only achieve false elixirs, with only more than a hundred years of life left, and they will stop there for the rest of their lives.

Fake elixirs are essentially "half-step elixirs" that are not recognized by many real elixir monks.

"These old friends have some hope of achieving false elixirs. But I wonder if there are one or two people who can achieve true elixirs?"

Lu Changan looked to the future, not sure if he would have the chance to witness it in person.

The True Pill of Achievement, placed in the Daqing Cultivation World, will enable major forces in various places to rise to the top.

…

One month later.

Lu Changan got the news from Tengxing Chamber of Commerce and went to Liaoyuan Fairy City.

This time when he went to the headquarters of Tengxing Chamber of Commerce, Lu Changan did not see Shen Bixin.

The person who received him was an elder of the Chamber of Commerce who was at the peak of the late foundation building stage and was Shen Bixin's direct elder.

"The materials are finally available."

An hour later, a bulging storage bag appeared on Lu Changan's waist and flew away from the Liaoyuan Fairy City.

The whole transaction process was smooth.

Lu Changan purchased materials such as third-level spiritual sand, top-level puppets, and quasi-third-level puppets at market prices.

Since it is a basic material, it is not particularly expensive, but it still cost tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones.

Because he left immediately, Lu Changan did not hide his identity.

"No one is tracking it, so the reputation of Tengxing Chamber of Commerce is pretty good."

Until he left the Liaoyuan Fairy City several hundred miles away, Lu Changan nodded secretly.

During this period, his mind was integrated into the second life of the Nine Seal Monument many times to investigate and confirm that there was no tail behind him.

The transaction volume this time was relatively ordinary in the middle stage of foundation building, and it was indeed a leakage of money.

It's not that Lu Changan is unsteady, but that things are different now.

Risk and strength are inversely proportional.

The means of protecting the road that Lu Changan showed to the outside world were no longer ordinary in the middle stage of foundation building.

The strongest person in the Tengxing Chamber of Commerce is just a fake Dan Zhenren.

This leakage of wealth will attract fake elixir masters or many late-stage foundation builders.

in the current special period.

As long as his secrets are not exposed, Lu Changan does not mind taking some controllable risks in order to accelerate his improvement in strength.

…

After returning to Wuqi Mountain.

Lu Changan ensured the stable operation of the quasi-third-level mountain guarding formation.

From now on, he will put part of his focus on improving the "Yunsha Body Refining Technique" and increasing his puppet skills.

"The effect of the third-level spiritual sand stone is truly extraordinary..."

In the secret room of Xiaogui Peak, Lu Changan was immersed in a medicinal bath of mixed spiritual sand of several colors. His muscles all over his body swelled, and a cloud-like crystal texture appeared on the surface of his skin.

There was numbness and burning discomfort all over my body.

It was the first time he used the third-level spiritual sand stone to practice. He finally felt that he was slowly improving on the "Cloud Sand Body Refining Technique" that had been stagnant for many years.

I slept very poorly yesterday and was very sleepy. The coding efficiency was too low, and I even took a nap in the middle of the process.
