Chapter 320: Really Conservative
"Jiang Daoyou is regarded as the number one casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom. How can Lu Hede compete with him? He has never thought about competing for the title of number one."
Lu Changan humbly refused, thinking to himself: What the hell is "Evergreen Legend" that actually promotes himself so much?
"Master Changqing, don't be too modest! Jiang knows a little bit about your strength."
Jiang Yechen's eyes were as cold as stars. Besides being warlike, he was also somewhat curious about Lu Changan's true background.
More than fifty years ago, when Lu Changan left the Liang Kingdom, he was an early stage cultivator of the True Elixir, and possessed the earth-grade bloodline spirit beast Xuan Shui Turtle that had condensed half-step golden elixir.
Someone once said that Lu Changan is expected to become the second real Huanglong in the future.
Now, Lu Changan, who has returned, is already in the middle stage of alchemy cultivation, and he does have a chance to compete for the number one casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom.
The description in "Evergreen Legend" is not an exaggeration.
"It's just a friendship discussion, no life will be harmed. If Master Lu doesn't even dare to respond to this, please leave Jiang's Wuye Town with the name of 'Lu Wugui'!"
Jiang Yechen's tone was sharp and he spoke provocatively.
Lu Changan glanced at Shi Manrong.
Fairy Shi did not try to persuade her, she turned her clear eyes slightly and secretly looked at the woman in green skirt outside the cave.
She doesn't have a long lifespan, and given the current situation, she is not in a good mood, so maybe she doesn't mind that Lu Changan is a little deflated.
"As the host, Daoyou Jiang, since he strongly demands it, Lu can only show his shame."
Lu Changan sighed and had no choice but to accept it.
Wuye Town is Jiang Yechen's territory. Logically speaking, the other party can expel him directly.
"Man Rong, please consolidate the formation."
Jiang Yechen smiled and his voice was a little gentle.
Shi Manrong beckoned for a formation order and flew to a fighting platform on the top of the mountain.
Buzz!
The fighting stage was shrouded in the light of the third-order formation. It looked only a few dozen feet from the outside, but there was a space of two or three miles in radius inside.
"Friend Lu Dao, you can rest assured that the details of the battle between you and me will not be announced to the public."
Jiang Yechen knew that Lu Changan kept a low profile and hid some tricks from the outside, so he took the initiative to promise.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang is interested."
Lu Changan nodded and followed into the inner space of the fighting platform.
Shi Xianzi consolidated the formation outside to prevent outsiders from watching the battle.
On the other side, the female cultivator in a green skirt was sitting in the pavilion, her lips slightly pursed under her veil, without any worries.
"Whether it's a battle between monks or a spiritual pet, Jiang can accompany you."
Jiang Yechen's tone was proud and confident, and he reached out to pat the spiritual pet bag on his waist.
The roar of spiritual flames was accompanied by a snoring sound.
A flaming horned horse with four hooves stepping on flames, three to four feet long, with a long swaying tail, appeared in the air beside Jiang Yechen.
"The third-order early stage spiritual beast, the Flame-Stepping Horse!"
Lu Changan recognized the origin of the flaming horse. It was the top mount spirit beast in the high-grade bloodline.
He is fast, good at flame spells, and good at attacking.
The growth rate is also far higher than that of the Black Water Turtle.
If they are all healthy eggs or babies, the value of the Flame Stepping Horse is even higher than that of the Black Water Turtle.
"Lu's magic power is mediocre, so he has to rely on his spiritual pets."
Lu Changan smiled and chose the latter method of fighting.
"good!"
Jiang Yechen expected this.
Xuan Shui Turtle is good at defense, and Lu Changan is a third-level talisman master. Together, the two are really no match for the ordinary mid-stage pill formation.
In the fighting space, the two of them were separated by hundreds of feet.
Whoops!
Lu Changan slapped the spiritual pet bag, and suddenly a storm of yellow sand enveloped the huge fighting stage.
"Mid-level third-order spiritual beast!"
Jiang Yechen's expression changed, and the protective shield was rubbed by the high-speed rotating yellow sand, causing a harsh scream.
The majestic wind of yellow sand, accompanied by the terrifying demonic spiritual pressure, turned the fighting space into a desert area in the blink of an eye.
The flame riding horse screamed in panic, being restrained by the whirlpool of yellow sand. The spiritual flames all over its body flickered and flickered. The speed advantage it was good at was useless.
Jiang Yechen's body-protecting shield was also a bit dimmer, partially contaminated by yellow sand, giving it an earthy color.
"interesting!"
Jiang Yechen took his time and made a secret with both hands. The night blue elixir power erupted like smoke from the center, covering the sky of the entire fighting space.
In an instant, huge star clusters of light appeared in the black and blue sky, filled with frost and brewing forbidden mana fluctuations.
call! Boom boom!
Those icy stars and light clusters exploded with cold light and frost, smashing through the thick dust and falling towards Lu Changan's area.
Not only does it relieve the pressure on the Flame Stepping Horse, but it also turns defense into offense.
This wasn't over yet, a gold and silver crown magic weapon appeared above Jiang Yechen's back, like a master in the night.
"Lu Changan, let Jiang show your true strength!"
Jiang Yechen's clothes fluttered, his divine light was like lightning, and his consciousness and magic power suddenly increased by several percent, crushing the average mid-stage pill formation.
Buzz!
The crown magic weapon stirred up ripples of halo outlining gold and silver patterns, swept away the yellow sand and dust storm, and contained magical power that shocked the soul, and rushed in front of Lu Changan.
"This son's magic power is not inferior to that of Huanglong Zhenren back then. His spiritual pet is slightly inferior, but the origin of the magic weapon in his hand is not simple and it is more powerful."
Lu Changan, who was in the middle stage of Jindan, felt a slight pressure.
puff!
A huge rat demon with a length of three feet and strong muscles stood in front of Lu Changan.
The rat demon has orange-yellow hair all over its body, with a bunch of purple hair standing up on its head. Its streamlined body looks like a giant leopard.
A layer of crystal yellow rock armor covered the body of the rock rat. It stood there and took the blow from Jiang Yechen's crown magic weapon, ignoring the power that shocked the soul.
Bang! Chi Chi~
Amid the harsh friction sound.
The gold and silver interlaced ripple halo scraped off pieces of stone chips on the surface of the rock rat, which remained motionless and protected its master without any injury.
Huh!
The rock rat opened its mouth and spit out a ball of dark yellow halo of demon fire and evil flames, which surged against the wind, and with a huge roar, collided with the crown magic weapon.
The outer wall of the fighting space was trembling with light and darkness, and it was almost broken in part.
"This rock rat with mutated bloodline actually has such strength, at least comparable to the earth-grade bloodline..."
Jiang Yechen groaned, and the mana and blood in his body floated.
The crown magic weapon on his head was dim, and was entangled by the strange Yin evil spirit, and the material of the magic weapon was slightly eroded.
If it continues, the quality of the magic weapon may decline.
The flame horse on the other side wailed, and was affected by the exploded dark yellow evil flames, leaving a charred and corroded hole in his chest.
Jiang Yechen felt a chill in his heart. The two spirit pets were not at the same level. If they met head-on, the Flame Horse would not be able to hold out for a few breaths.
At this time, the Rock Rat cast another round of spells at an incredibly fast speed.
The ground was coated with a layer of earthy yellow texture, like a strange tentacle, and at the same time, crystal yellow stone pillars protruded from the ground and pierced into the air.
Jiang Yechen instinctively dodged, but his feet were as heavy as if they were filled with silver mercury, and there was a great pulling force from the ground.
With the help of the crown magic weapon, he had powerful magic power and forcibly broke free from the power of the earth binding.
The injured Flame Horse, however, could not break free from the earth binding magic power and was firmly trapped on the ground by several thick stone pillars.
Hiss!
The Flame Horse squeezed in the gap between the stone pillars could not move and howled in pain.
Jiang Yechen was anxious and prepared to rescue.
Whoosh!
The Rock Rat in front of him blurred and suddenly disappeared.
A gloomy strong wind came from the side.
Crack!
Jiang Yechen's protective shield shattered, torn apart by the claws of the approaching rock rat.
"This mutant rat demon is so fast!"
Jiang Yechen's heart was pounding, and he held up a long-pole banner in his hand, blowing up a dazzling blue-green wind and haze.
With a "bang", he bounced the approaching rock rat away.
The next moment.
Jiang Yechen's figure flashed, turning into several purple-robed phantoms, and the light mist dispersed.
His real body disappeared into the night and lost its trace.
This is Jiang Yechen's unique body movement and magical power. Under the late stage of Jindan, he is enough to gallop in the Liang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world.
Lu Changan thought to himself: No wonder this person can become the first casual cultivator in Liang. His spiritual consciousness, magic power, magic weapon and magical power are all beyond most of the cultivators of the same level.
Unfortunately, his opponent is a rock rat, whose real realm is comparable to that of a late stage of Jindan!
Squeak!
A yellowish halo appeared, and the rock rat came to the trapped flame-stepping horse, intercepting Jiang Yechen who wanted to rescue the pet.
The rock rat approached again, and its heavy claws were sharp like metal, forcing Jiang Yechen to use magic weapons to protect himself and fight and retreat.
Only Jiang Yechen was good at body movement, otherwise it would be very dangerous for a cultivator of the same level to be approached by a monster.
"The magic power and consciousness of this rat monster are no less than the peak of the middle stage of the Jindan, and it is experienced in fighting and has practiced a variety of powerful magic and fighting skills."
Jiang Yechen felt a sense of pressure sweating profusely when dealing with the pursuit and killing of the rock rat.
He looked at the man in white behind him from the corner of his eyes, and he did not make a move from beginning to end.
Jiang Yechen actually had a backhand to counter Lu Changan's intervention.
Lu Changan's strength depends on the external objects of the spirit beast. As long as he is captured, there is hope to reverse and win the fight.
This is the experience of dealing with the beastmaster of the Beast King Valley on the battlefield of the magic.
…
Outside the formation space, Master Fairy’s eyes were surprised and unexpected.
She thought that Lu Chang’an’s true strength might exceed expectations.
She had seen Lu Chang’an’s fighting methods in the ancient ruins in her early years.
But she didn’t expect that Lu Chang’an didn’t even need to make a move, and could suppress Jiang Yechen and Ta Yanju with just a pet.
It was hard to imagine that the rock rat that worked diligently in Xiaogui Peak at that time had at least the terrifying strength to rival the first casual cultivator of Liang State.
In the Liang State’s cultivation world, the world knew that Changqing Zhenren had a black water turtle, so he had nicknames such as turtle talisman master and turtle Zhenren.
Who would have thought that Changqing Zhenren’s strongest pet was not the black water turtle, but the silent rat demon!
“Zhenren Lu, why don’t you make a move?”
In the formation space, Jiang Yechen’s magic power was fully opened, and he used all kinds of methods, but he couldn’t do anything to the rock rat, and could only fight back and forth at most.
He wanted to bypass the front and attack Lu Changan, but the rock rat saw through it and intercepted him accurately. He launched a crazy counterattack and was in a mess.
In such a situation, Jiang Yechen had no chance.
"Lu's hidden injuries have not healed yet, so it is not appropriate to use his magic power rashly."
Lu Changan, dressed in white, stood with his hands behind his back, calm and composed, and never made a move.
In a battle of the same level, if he wanted to suppress the first casual cultivator of Liang State, he would expose his golden elixir magic power.
The rock rat suppressed his cultivation to the middle stage of the third level, which was enough to deal with it.
It has the realm of a great cultivator of the Jindan stage. Even if it limits its magic power, it can make Jiang Yechen restricted everywhere and extremely uncomfortable.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, the hundred breaths have come. Since the winner is not decided, it is better to end the battle in a draw."
Lu Changan smiled and called back the rock rat, ending the battle.
Jiang Yechen's hair was messy and his breath was disordered. Hearing this, his face was ugly and turned iron blue.
He was indignant and could not accept the cruel reality for a while.
Lu Changan did not take action to save face for himself.
As a third-level talisman master in the middle stage of pill formation, if he joins forces with the Earth Rock Rat, he can defeat himself within a hundred breaths.
Being able to control and tame such a third-level monster, Lu Changan's true strength and means are probably even more unfathomable!
After a moment of silence, Jiang Yechen's mouth turned bitter and his voice was rough and hoarse:
"Fellow Daoist Lu, Jiang lost this battle and has nothing to say. From now on, the title of No. 1 casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom must belong to you."
"Haha, Lu has already moved to Fengyuan Kingdom and has not settled in Liang Kingdom. It does not match the title. Jiang Daoyou's strength is comparable to that of Huanglong Zhenren at his peak. He is well-deserved for the title of No. 1 casual cultivator in Liang Kingdom. "
Lu Changan smiled and held his hands in a gesture of concession.
There was no grudge or conflict of interest between him and Jiang Yechen. A small shock was enough, there was no need to go to war or use words to humiliate them.
Many times, the monstrous cause and effect and hatred may be an inadvertent humiliation and blow, which inspires the fighting spirit and potential of the child of destiny.
Keep a thin face. The connections of the number one casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom may be used by Lu Changan in the future.
"Friend Lu Dao is indifferent to fame and wealth, and is upright and upright! "The Legend of Evergreen" and "The Travels of the Black Turtle" do not deceive me."
Jiang Yechen held up his hand and bowed solemnly, accepting Lu Changan's kindness.
Looking at the quiet and indifferent man in white, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration while feeling fearful in his heart.
Lu Changan's strength clearly overwhelmed him, but he was not arrogant or impetuous and gave him a step down.
No wonder, this person is able to get along well in all countries in the world of immortality. He has a wide network of contacts and is almost invisible to his enemies.
The description in "Evergreen Legend" is really too conservative!
What does it mean to have the opportunity to compete for the throne of the first casual cultivator in Liang Kingdom? They have already surpassed him.
In the formation space, the two exchanged a few words.
"Today's battle, I hope fellow Daoist Jiang will keep it a secret."
Lu Changan ordered.
In fact, the strength revealed today is just the tip of his iceberg.
Even if the strength of the Earth Rock Rat is leaked, it's not a big deal. At most, it will expose the flaws of "Xiang Zhenren" who was in Jing Kingdom.
According to longevity calculations, Master Han Yu had already passed away.
In her heart, it was enough to have the figure of the old man in coir raincoat.
"Friend Lu Dao, please be at ease. During today's battle, Jiang swore an oath from his inner demons not to reveal anything to the outside world."
Jiang Yechen took the initiative to swear an oath to prevent the news from being leaked in the future, and he would take the blame and suffer unreasonable disasters.
He was no more alone than Lu Changan.
Now that he has established his power, he must not offend this unfathomable Evergreen Master.
…
The two chatted for a while, and when they walked out of the fighting stage, they found that Fairy Shi and the woman in the green skirt in the pavilion also chatted for a while.
I don’t know what topic they were talking about, but the woman in the green skirt took off the veil and put it back on.
With a startled glance, Jiang Yechen caught the unrivaled elegance and elegance. That unparalleled face with the slender eyebrows and beautiful face, was something he had rarely seen in his life.
The female cultivator in the green skirt is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has various manners and temperament, which can be as cold as a fairy, but also gentle and gentle, encompassing everything, including the part of the Master Fairy.
"The indigenous tribe of Feng Yuan Kingdom... actually has such a stunning fairy?"
Jiang Yechen couldn't help but be startled.
Isn’t it said that the indigenous women of Feng Yuan Kingdom are all dark-skinned, big, and rough?
It seems the rumors are wrong.
Jiang Yechen's impression of Feng Yuan Kingdom changed somewhat, and he decided to visit there when he had time in the future.
When Lu Changan and the two walked over, the woman in the green skirt put on her veil and returned to her normal appearance.
Jiang Yechen suddenly realized that he could not tell the specific cultivation level of this woman. He could only roughly judge that she was a real person who formed the pill.
He felt a shiver in his heart. His spiritual consciousness was already outstanding among those at the same level. He could hide his true cultivation level in front of him, either because he had undergone major repairs in the late stage of pill formation, or he had borrowed rare rare items.
Jiang Yechen and Fairy Niyue were not of the same generation. They were monks of the same generation who had never met each other before and could not figure out each other's identity in a short period of time.
Shi Xianzi's surprised face soon returned to calm.
Just now, she insisted on seeing the face of the woman in the green skirt.
The woman in the green skirt didn't agree at first, her eyes showing intolerance.
After repeated requests, the woman in the green skirt agreed to lift her veil.
Shi Xianzi originally thought that even if Lu Changan's new lover was younger and more beautiful than herself, she would not have the temperament and charm of a mature woman.
As a result, after seeing this, she couldn't help but regret a little.
Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi returned to the cave again.
This time, neither Jiang Yechen nor the woman in the green skirt followed.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Jiang Yechen had mixed emotions. He looked at the woman in the green skirt next to him and couldn't help but ask:
"Is this fairy the Taoist companion of Master Changqing?"
"no."
The woman in the green skirt did it without thinking.
Jiang Yechen's first reaction was that this woman was single and had an ordinary relationship with Lu Changan.
Then, another faint sigh was heard: "In more than two hundred years, when have you ever seen him marry and have children?"
"No."
Jiang Yechen thought for a while, the turtle master was always alone.
Compared to the days when Lu Changan was irresponsible and could always be carefree and happy.
He discovered that the love he had when he was young was a huge grievance!
…
Cave Mansion, inside the side hall.
Lu Changan was finally able to communicate with Shi Xianzi in private.
"Congratulations to Mr. Lu, for taking the former number one fairy in the Liang Kingdom into your pocket. Although I am old and yellow, I am still very proud."
Master Xianzi said with a smile.
At this moment, she thought of the true identity of the woman in the green skirt, and her heart was not so sad or bitter.
"Master Fairy, you are too kind! Lu and Fairy Niyue are not Taoist companions, but we have higher spiritual pursuits."
"In terms of friendship, it is not as good as we were back then."
Lu Changan secretly said that Master Fairy was still open-minded.
They met each other calmly after the reunion.
No jealousy, no quarrels, no emotional entanglements, and even congratulations.
There is a saying that dumplings are not as delicious as dumplings, which is true.
The two talked about some past events.
"Daoyou Ye has also passed away for decades..."
Lu Changan sighed lightly.
Ye Fei was the peak master selected by Lu Changan that year. His qualifications, cultivation, and background were not as good as Jiang Yechen at that time.
Decades ago, Ye Fei failed to form a pill and died.
A few years before forming a pill, Ye Fei left Wuqi Mountain and went to the front line to make merit during the Demon Dao War to exchange for materials for the crystal pill.
Failure to form a pill has the risk of death. This is why the method of refining pills is very unpopular in the world of immortal cultivation. Because, if you condense the pill again, this risk still exists.
"I see that Master Fairy's life span is less than ten years. Have you ever taken the third-level longevity pill?"
Lu Changan asked with concern.
"No! The third-level longevity pill is rarer than the crystal condensing pill. It is hard to find. In Liang State, even if it occasionally appears, it is either divided up by major forces or makes very excessive demands..."
Master Fairy mentioned this matter, a little discouraged.
Fake pill cultivation, even if it prolongs life for a few more years, is not very meaningful.
However, her adopted son Shi Xiaochuan, who is not yet twenty years old, is somewhat unwilling in his heart and wants to accompany her for a few more years.
Knowing that she is in urgent need of the third-level longevity pill, some forces asked the Lion of Wuye Town for a lot of money, and the conditions were relatively harsh.
Perhaps, they were not sincere and wanted to manipulate her.
The third-level longevity pill that Lu Changan obtained in Liang State was traded with the genuine crystal condensing pill, which shows its strategic value.
At that time, during the war, the value of the third-level longevity pill declined.
"If Master Fairy doesn't mind, I have a low-quality third-level longevity pill in my hand. It has a slight flaw and can extend my life by about twenty years."
Lu Changan took out a jade bottle. The longevity pill inside was the low-quality one among the three pills that he had refined but had not taken.
"What does Master Lu want to trade?"
Master Fairy showed interest. Being able to accompany Xiaochuan for twenty more years was enough to fulfill her wish.
"No need! I have taken the third-level longevity pill. This one is given to Master Fairy as an apology for leaving without saying goodbye all these years."
Lu Changan generously handed the longevity pill to Master Fairy.
Different levels, abilities, and things done are incomparable.
Although it is a low-quality one, the value of this longevity pill far exceeds that of the foundation-building pill.
Two hundred years ago, Lu Changan in the Qi Refining Era had gone through a lot of hardships to get the foundation-building pill himself, so naturally he didn't have much spare energy to give it to others.
Master Fairy was moved and solemnly accepted this hard-won third-level longevity pill.
Lu Changan may only regard her as a passer-by in his life, and no longer have the close feelings they once had, but he is indeed a nostalgic person and will not treat any old friend unfairly.
Changqing Zhenren, from the beginning of his motivation to build a foundation, was destined to be a figure who would leave a historical mark in the Liang Kingdom's cultivation world.
Even if his cultivation and life biography stopped here.
Although she was just a beautiful passer-by in the other's life, Master Fairy did not regret intersecting with such a legendary figure.
Even if the halo of legend is put aside, Lu Changan's appearance, temperament, personality and conversation are enough to attract most female cultivators.
"Master Fairy, if you feel sorry, please tell me the detailed news of the exploration of the ruins."
Lu Changan suggested with a smile.
"Okay."
Master Fairy sorted it out a little, and began to explain the more detailed situation of the ancient ruins, answering Lu Changan's detailed inquiries.
After the ancient ruins were controlled by Jinyang Sect and others, she was invited to the ruins to assist in the exploration and development, but she gained little during the period.
Today, the ruins have been plundered and explored by the Liang State Sect, and there are not many valuable things left.
In recent years, the sect has not paid much attention to it, and has used it for disciples' training, treasure hunting, and archaeological research.
Sect disciples of the Jinyang Sect camp can enter and explore it by paying spirit stones.
