Chapter 322: Fourth-Level Treasure Talisman
In the guest room at the top of Wuye Town, two guests from afar lived, a man and a woman.
One of the members, a middle-aged monk in foreign service, had a round face, a fair face, and a slightly fatter smile. He gave people a kind feeling.
This person's cultivation in the later stage of foundation building is none other than Song Xi, the son of Shen Bixin.
"Grandpa, the one-year period has come. Will Master Changqing break the promise?"
In the guest room, there is also a girl with waterfall-like hair, bright eyes and white teeth, elegant and quiet, who looks uneasy at the moment.
Because grandpa planned to give her to a real person as a maid.
"It's hard to say. Master Changqing's whereabouts are uncertain, and Master Jiang didn't explicitly say that he was looking for us. It's just our guess."
Song Xi's thoughts were uncertain. He was over one hundred and twenty years old, and he, who had always been calm, felt a little uneasy and anxious in his heart at this time.
After all, a promise made by that real person can determine his spiritual destiny for the rest of his life, and even determine the rise and fall of his family.
Even late-stage foundation-building ancestors who threaten one party will inevitably worry about gains and losses.
"I don't know if the relevant descriptions of "Evergreen Legend" are true or false..."
Shen Lian'er pursed her pink lips and was a little dazed. When she thought about something, her pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly.
It is recorded in the Evergreen Legend that Lu Zhenren was handsome, handsome, and as gentle as jade. He was a rare handsome man in the world!
Therefore, when her grandfather mentioned that she would be given to a real person as a maid, Shen Lian'er did not reject it and even had some expectations in her heart.
For a young female cultivator like her with ordinary qualifications, this is a life opportunity where she can fly up a branch and become a phoenix.
Whoosh!
At this time, a telegraph note flew into the guest room and conveyed a message.
"Master Changqing has arrived!"
After Song Xi obtained the content of the transmission notes, his face glowed red, his expression was excited, and his voice had a slight tremor.
He had been waiting for this moment for hundreds of years!
"You don't have to accompany Daoist Jiang in person!"
Lu Changan exchanged greetings with Jiang Yechen, and then went to the guest room where Song Xi and Song Xi were staying alone.
"Meet Master Changqing."
Song Xi's grandfather and granddaughter saluted respectfully.
"You don't need to be polite after being an old friend."
Lu Changan waved his hand in an easy-going tone and looked at the two of them.
Song Xi, who is not a middle-aged member, has a pleasant smile, and the outline of his face can vaguely be seen as the fair-skinned boy that Shen Bixin brought with him when he congratulated him at the elixir formation ceremony.
What surprised Lu Changan was that this person also practiced the wood health-preserving skill. His physical condition was well maintained and there was almost no fighting.
"This is the junior's granddaughter, Shen Lian'er."
The long-haired girl beside him, a Qi-refining monk, looks a bit like the former beauty Shen Bixin, but her temperament is somewhat inferior.
Shen Lian'er glanced at Master Chang Qing from the corner of her eye, her face turned red and her heart beat, and she didn't dare to look directly.
"Um."
Lu Changan didn't care about the psychological activities of the two, and didn't even ask about the current situation of the Shen family and the Song family.
He directly took out a jade box, pushed it with his elixir, and landed it in front of Song and Xi.
"According to the choice you and your mother-in-law made back then, this is the promise Lu has fulfilled."
Inside the jade box, there is an opportunity to form an elixir.
A slightly flawed Crystal Condensing Pill is only 10% or 20% less effective than the genuine product.
It was one of the three crystal condensation pills that Lu Changan refined back then.
In addition, there is also an excellent elixir-forming spiritual object.
Song Xi opened the jade box, his expression lifted, and his heart was ecstatic.
The long-awaited opportunity to form an elixir is obtained.
Changqing Zhenren is indeed a man of great promise and integrity, and "The Travels of the Black Turtle" will not deceive me!
"Thank you Master Lu for your gift, I will remember it in the hearts of the Song family for generations to come!"
Song Xi felt so moved that he bowed down immediately.
For this opportunity, he deliberately practiced health-preserving skills to prolong his life, avoid fights, give in when he could, and leave a more solid foundation.
The corresponding price is that Song Xi's fighting skills have always been at the bottom among his peers.
In addition, he was not good at business management, and after going through the Demonic War for nearly a hundred years, he failed to preserve the properties left by the Shen Family Chamber of Commerce and the Song Family.
Song Xi did not possess the exquisite skills of cultivating immortals, so he became the poorest monk in the late stage of foundation building in Jing Kingdom.
"The legacy of our old friend will eventually be exhausted, so you have to take care of yourself."
Lu Changan's tone was calm and he left his last words. His figure blurred and disappeared from the guest room.
Song Xi was stunned for a while.
He tightly protected the chance of forming a pill in his hand. After being excited and excited, he gradually calmed down.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, he decided to ask Jiang Yechen to cultivate to the peak of foundation building in Wuye Town and form an elixir here.
"Grandpa, have you forgotten something?"
Shen Lian'er opened her mouth, her tone seemed to be filled with resentment.
"Forgot something?"
Song Xi solemnly put away the jade box and raised his eyelids lightly.
"Didn't you say that you want to give me to a real person as a maid..."
"Don't think too much! The real person Grandpa is talking about is not Zhenren Lu, but someone else."
Song Xi said slowly.
"ah……"
Only then did Shen Lian'er realize that her grandfather only said that she would be given to a real person as a maid, but he did not mention her specific name.
She automatically thought of Master Lu.
Song Xijun glanced at her, and there were some things he couldn't say to avoid being spied on by the real people on the mountain.
He had always planned to give Shen Lian'er to Jiang Yechen as a maid.
Otherwise, this granddaughter would not be allowed to change her surname to Shen, not just because she looks like Shen Bixin.
Between Jiang Yechen and Lu Changan, Song Xi was actually more optimistic about the former's potential, including the influence of Liang Guo's number one casual cultivator.
Song Xi was also cultivating his skills, but his fighting skills were weak, and he even regretted it.
If the fighting method is weak, it will be difficult to compete for opportunity benefits; if there is no resource harvest, the fighting method will be further weakened...
In his opinion, although Lu Changan is a legendary True Dan cultivator, he is not as good as Jiang Yechen in terms of potential and fighting strength.
Lu Changan is mainly a black water turtle with earth-grade blood. He has no outstanding battle record and is older than Jiang Yechen.
Moreover, Jiang Yechen is a sentimental person who values feelings. When he sees the descendant who looks like Shen Bixin, he will think of the old love.
In contrast, Lu Changan is alone and does not care about the love between men and women. Even if he is willing to take Shen Lianer as a maid, he will not give any preferential treatment.
Song Xi's choice is not wrong.
Two months later, after several efforts, Jiang Yechen reluctantly agreed to take Shen Lianer as a maid.
In the next few years, Song Xi called on the clan members to come and settle down around Wuye Town.
...
Half a year later.
Lu Changan and Fairy Niyue took the chariot magic weapon and returned to the Fengyuan Kingdom Sect Station.
On the return journey, Fairy Niyue was a little disappointed.
Not only did they fail to find Liu Qingyan's whereabouts.
A few female cultivators from Xuanyin Pavilion who were stranded outside were found by chance, but most of them married and had children and were unwilling to come back.
The third-grade upper-grade mountain gate of Xuanyin Pavilion was occupied by the sect of the Jinyang Sect camp, and there was no hope of recovery in their lifetime.
Even as a Jindan Great Cultivator, Fairy Ni Yue was saddened by the sight of the things, and could do nothing about the cruel reality.
Xuanyin Pavilion, the chief guest cave.
After Lu Changan came back, he immediately took the third-grade longevity pill that he won in the auction.
This was the fourth third-grade longevity pill he had taken.
"Extend life for thirty-two years."
Lu Changan opened his eyes. He had previously consumed 120 years of his life to restore the greenness of the Xuan vine, and finally recovered a small mouthful of blood.
His total lifespan reached 1095 years.
Because he was more diligent in divination and practice, his lifespan would also be slowly depleted over the years.
"The high-level resources purchased during this trip to the Weidao League are enough to consume for many years."
Lu Changan sorted out the materials and harvested them, and calmed down.
The precious materials for body refining are enough to supply to the late third stage.
The materials for impacting the third-level upper-grade puppet master are also fully prepared.
Next, he will use more energy to impact puppets and body refining.
…
Time flies, and twelve years have passed.
Lu Changan is now 280 years old.
Just as he expected, Xuanyin Pavilion has developed smoothly in recent years, Miaoyin Building has made stable profits in major fairy cities, and has maintained good relations with major forces in the outer sect alliance.
There are also some potential seedlings in the younger generation of Xuanyin Pavilion.
The only regret is that Fangcao Oasis is only a third-level middle-grade spiritual vein, and it has only been successfully cultivated for decades.
Unless there is a special opportunity, it is unlikely that the spiritual vein here will be promoted to the third-level upper grade within two or three hundred years.
The efficiency of Fairy Ni Yue's practice is inevitably affected.
She can only set up a spirit gathering array in the cave, invest more spirit stones, and supplement with precious spirit pills.
Fortunately, it has little impact on Lu Changan.
It will take at least seventy years for him to cultivate from the middle stage of Jindan to the late stage of Jindan.
This year, there was bad news.
Lu Changan failed to create a third-grade high-quality puppet.
His puppetry skills failed to improve.
The third-grade middle and lower-quality puppets are rarely seen in the major forces in the world of immortal cultivation.
The third-grade high-quality puppet is comparable to the great cultivation of the Jindan stage, and is rare in the world.
In a sect like Jinyun Valley, it is definitely a sect-guarding weapon, and is worshipped as a Buddha.
Lu Changan was mentally prepared for failure. The difficulty of refining a third-grade high-quality puppet is beyond the imagination of the world.
Fortunately, he is still a third-grade high-quality weapon refiner, who can maximize recycling, refine materials, and reduce losses.
"After the materials are recycled, I can barely create a third-grade high-quality puppet once, and the success rate is only 30%."
In the secret room of the cave, Lu Changan looked at the piled and disassembled materials in front of him, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
In the end, he decided to adjust his thinking.
There is no need to create a new third-grade high-quality puppet, it is better to strengthen and improve the existing middle-quality puppet.
The two puppet clones owned by Lu Changan are made of materials that have been tempered and strengthened for many years. They are both top-grade products of the same level, and their strength is comparable to that of a cultivator at the peak of the middle stage of Jindan.
"I am very familiar with the construction principles of these two puppet clones, especially the assassin puppet. If they are slowly transformed and strengthened, and upgraded to the third-grade upper grade, the difficulty will be slightly lower than that of a new creation."
Lu Changan's newly formulated plan will maximize the advantages of a third-grade upper-grade refiner.
Other puppet masters, even if they have this idea, do not have such conditions.
In addition to the bad news, Lu Changan also received good news.
After being promoted to the middle stage of Jindan, his efficiency in nurturing treasure talismans has been greatly improved.
The two strongest treasure talismans have reached the fourth-grade threshold!
When these two treasure talismans were refined more than a hundred years ago, they were originally the basis of the third-grade upper grade, and they were nurtured by the mana of Changqing Jindan all year round.
In addition, there are six treasure talismans that have reached the third-grade limit.
The rest of the treasure talismans are basically the third-grade middle-upper grade.
The birth of the fourth-grade treasure talisman gives Lu Changan more diverse trump cards.
Lu Changan couldn't help looking forward to the future: in twenty or thirty years, he will be promoted to the late stage of Jindan, and take into account the third-level upper-grade body refining, and cultivate more fourth-level treasure talismans.
By then, when facing ordinary Yuanying Zhenjun, he will not only be able to protect himself, but also have the ability to deal with and calculate.
Of course, it is still unrealistic to cross the level to compete head-on.
Even if there is a fourth-life possession, the huge gap in magic power cannot be made up.
Unless you can get the core inheritance of Qianji Sect, refine the puppet formation, and create a strange spirit puppet that imitates the five-color peacock spirit.
...
Lu Changan, who is in a good mood, invites Fairy Ni Yue to come to his house to taste tea and listen to music.
The way of cultivating immortals must be relaxed and tense, so as to maintain a long-term state of mind and mental strength.
Mental strength comes from the belief, fighting spirit and determination of the cultivator.
This kind of mental strength is not inexhaustible, and needs to be adjusted and restored.
The cultivators who have truly become cultivation machines are numb, lack spirituality, are inefficient, and are prone to mental barriers, and their upper limit of achievement is often not high.
The female cultivators of the Xuanyin Pavilion can just help to make up for the mental strength and break through the mental barriers.
"Over at the Beast King Valley, has the Demonic War not started yet?"
After listening to a song, Lu Changan felt calmer and asked.
The thirty-year armistice agreement signed by the Beast King Valley and the Defense Alliance has not only expired, but it has been more than two years.
In the past two years, the Demonic War has not yet been reopened.
"Not yet, but the Beast King Valley is ready to move, and has mobilized the army of Demonic cultivators, the fourth-level Beast King..."
Fairy Ni Yue shook her head and glanced at Lu Changan. She always felt that the man in front of her was eager for the Demonic War to be fought fiercely.
Nowadays, Miaoyin Building of Xuanyin Pavilion has built a complete intelligence network, which is not limited to the outer sect alliance area.
Due to the good relationship with the Snow Mountain Holy Land and the human relations, Miaoyin Building began to lay out in the tribal deserted city without being obstructed by local forces.
This is not the credit of Lu Changan.
Instead, Fairy Qiu of Xuanyin Pavilion and Tianshi of the Snow Mountain Holy Land gradually fell in love.
According to Ni Yue, Fairy Qiu was trapped by love and couldn't help but secretly meet Tianshi, and the two sides also exchanged letters.
Fairy Ni Yue was not optimistic about this relationship based on her intuition and experience, but she didn't dare to intervene to stop it.
"Lu Lang is so looking forward to the start of the magic war? Could it be that the ten sects of Xuanmen have planted a hidden man in the Great Qing East Region?"
Fairy Ni Yue smiled sweetly, with a graceful and undulating figure, nestled in Lu Changan's arms, and tried to speak.
Lu Changan, a casual cultivator, can have such achievements. His strength is unfathomable, overpowering the great cultivator of Jindan.
Fairy Ni Yue thought he was a great figure, perhaps a plot by the Ten Sects of Xuanmen.
"That's right! Lu is a reincarnated cultivator arranged by the Ten Sects of Xuanmen, with the purpose of muddying the waters of the Daqing East Region and preventing the Six Sects of Demon Dao from resting and recuperating so peacefully."
Lu Changan's eyes were sharp and his voice was loud.
"Such a secret... Lu Lang is willing to tell me?"
Fairy Ni Yue was stunned and covered her lips with her hands, half believing and half doubting
Then, she continued to probe and ask with a tender and adoring expression.
Lu Changan's calm deception was secretly amused.
The fierce war in the Demon Dao was good for Lu Changan.
Involving the Beast King Valley, not coming to cause trouble is now secondary.
After practicing for decades in the middle stage of the Golden Core, the late stage of the Golden Core is no longer far away.
When you reach the late stage of the Golden Core, you have to plan for the opportunity of the Nascent Soul.
Lu Changan has always been prepared for a rainy day and laid out in advance.
With several lifetimes of experience and Nascent Soul vision, Lu Changan knew that it was almost impossible for a casual cultivator to have a channel to advance to Nascent Soul in Daqing.
Nascent Soul True Lords, looking at all the realms in Tianheng Continent, are absolute upper-level bosses who dominate the fate of the people in the world.
However, the upper-level channels for advancing to Nascent Soul, including the fourth-level spiritual veins and the spiritual objects for forming Nascent Souls, are basically controlled by the major forces of cultivation.
In peacetime, Lu Changan had no other channels for advancement except to plot against Xia Wenyue's Taiyin Jade Liquid.
To be among the True Lords, there must be a big change to subvert the old order!
And the Demonic War is an opportunity to subvert the existing order.
In the previous Demonic War, the Weidao League did not completely wipe out the Nascent Soul sect, mainly because of the intervention of True Lord Lingyu.
If the Demonic War is more tragic, the fall of the True Lord of Nascent Soul and the destruction of the major sects will be common.
At that time, Lu Changan, who has been promoted to the Jindan Great Cultivator, will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and seek the opportunity of Nascent Soul.
This is not only the opportunity that Lu Changan has been waiting for.
It is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for small and medium-sized sects such as Jinyun Valley and Xuanyin Pavilion to be promoted to a higher sequence!
A few years ago, Lu Changan calculated that at least in the Daqing East Region, this is his biggest opportunity to seek a promotion channel.
If he relies solely on his own foundation, the blessing of his previous life, and the assistance of Taiyin Jade Liquid, he will only have a 70% chance of being promoted to Yuanying in the future.
Such a low success rate is completely unacceptable to Lu Changan.
...
Two years later.
The war of demon invasion that Lu Changan expected started again.
Both sides have rested for many years and recovered a lot of vitality. As soon as the war started, a Yuanying war broke out.
At the same time.
In the center of Fengyuan Country, on the snow-covered holy mountain.
Fengyuan Tianshi, who is wearing a snow-white Tianshi robe, has a gaunt face and silver eyebrows and hair, sitting beside the chessboard in front of the hut.
The chessboard is a divination artifact. The grid on it is like an invisible web of fate, changing from nothingness to nothingness, intersecting with chess pieces.
"The Ten Sects of Xuanmen are indeed intervening behind the scenes. However, this time the Six Sects of Demonic Path have responded, and the mysterious 'Master of Wujian' may be dispatched. The Ten Sects of Xuanmen are too far apart, and they are ultimately out of reach..."
The Heavenly Master frowned slightly, his expression not optimistic.
During the Demonic Path War thirty years ago, he sat on the Diaoyutai, because he noticed the traces of the Ten Sects of Xuanmen intervening, and estimated that the East Region of Daqing could withstand it.
But now, the secrets of heaven are becoming more and more profound, especially the leading figures of Xuanmen and Demonic Path, all of whom are involved in the game, and even intervene directly.
His divination skills can only be said to be unique in the East Region of Daqing. If the Central Region is included, there are many talented people who can rival him.
"Hey! That turtle master who can't see the details clearly and is suspected to have the help of Yuanying, could it be that he is really a hidden chess piece set up by the Ten Sects of Xuanmen?"
The Heavenly Master calculated with his fingers and showed a strange expression.
A year or two ago, he accidentally caught a trace of uncertain secrets, that Lu Changan might be a hidden chess piece of the Ten Sects of Xuanmen.
However, this trace of secrets is not certain.
It might be something someone has heard and confirmed. Maybe it is someone else's layout that misleads the secrets.
The Heavenly Master's actions require knowing oneself and the enemy.
For things that cannot be seen through, he will not act rashly, such as Lu Changan who is suspected of having the help of the Nascent Soul.
The Fairy Qiu of Xuanyin Pavilion is actually a chess piece he has laid out. Through the information medium of this woman, he understands Lu Changan's intentions and footsteps.
Through understanding and calculation over the years, he confirmed that Lu Changan at least has no hostility and is consistent with his own interests.
"It seems that we have to speed up the progress and find an opportunity to negotiate with that kid."
If it is not necessary, he should not leave the Snow Mountain Holy Land, especially the local area of Fengyuan Country, but the method of communicating with the outside world is not difficult.
The pupils of the Heavenly Master are like two points of rotating thick ink. As they slowly turn, he has a plan in his mind.
