This turtle egg is the spirit beast egg of the "Xuanshui Turtle" of the Earthly Bloodline.
Lu Changan put his hand on the surface of the eggshell and felt the weak fluctuations of life, which was continuing to decline.
Without the nourishment of precious spiritual liquid, within half a year, the signs of life in the turtle egg would be completely cut off.
"The Zhou Family of Beast Control is really a scam."
Lu Changan sighed, if not, it would not be his turn.
Without rare treasures, it would be difficult to hatch this black water turtle egg.
If it doesn't hatch, it will consume spiritual liquid if it is left there.
Basically, whoever buys it is tricked.
Even if you pay the price, a diseased seedling is likely to hatch in the end.
Lu Changan watched for a moment, then carefully injected a trace of Evergreen mana into the turtle egg.
If you have ordinary mana, acting rashly may cause unpredictable negative consequences.
But what Lu Changan cultivates is health-preserving skills. The evergreen magic power is peaceful and contains the energy of life.
Even so, he only input a weak wisp of mana.
"Um?"
That ray of evergreen mana was quickly absorbed by the turtle egg, and it lost all sensitivity in the blink of an eye.
Not only that, he captured the throbbing of life within the eggshell, conveying a faint emotion of longing.
Seeing this, Lu Changan slowly input Changqing's mana, increasing its weight.
The black water turtle egg was like a sponge, constantly sucking Lu Changan's evergreen mana.
It wasn't until Lu Changan was almost out of mana that the momentum of absorption slowed down.
The life fluctuations in the eggshell stabilized, and the momentum of vitality exhaustion was curbed.
"It can be regarded as a successful pregnancy."
"However, I don't know what external force affected this turtle egg. The life embryo inside is still very weak and its essence has not changed. If it hatches normally, it will most likely be a sick child."
Lu Changan pondered, considering whether to use the secret healing technique of Evergreen Gong.
This secret technique can even bring Mu Xiuyun back to life after her life has stopped, and it should be easy to cure diseases.
However, using the secret healing technique will consume your lifespan. The last time he saved Mu Xiuyun, he had to pay two months of his life.
If it only consumes one and a half years of life, it is acceptable. Lu Changan had just taken the first-order life-extending pill, which extended his life by up to ten years.
He couldn't determine how much lifespan it would take to allow the black water turtle to hatch healthily.
In addition, due to the external interference of Evergreen's mana, will there be any changes after the hatching is successful?
All this is still unknown, like opening a blind box.
"Don't worry, Zhou Qingxuan is still in Fangshi. This woman is extremely talented at controlling beasts, so we have to guard against her."
It would be more troublesome if Zhou Qingxuan suddenly wanted to come over to check the status of the Xuanshui turtle eggs.
…
Early the next morning, Lu Changan went to the inn in Fangshi to see Zhao Siyao off.
Yesterday, Li Ergou and Lin Yi both returned.
Zhao Siyao did not plan to return to the sect and wanted to go out to find opportunities to build the foundation. She stayed in Fang City for the past few days to purchase some resources.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, have you thought carefully about it. Do you really want to go to the Black Mist Mountains to practice?"
Looking at Zhao Siyao, who had a cold temperament and was as elegant as a fairy, Lu Changan was somewhat surprised by this decision.
Zhao Siyao's cultivation has reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining. He only needs to follow the steps in the sect, completing qualifications, completing tasks, and waiting to redeem the foundation building pill.
"I stayed at the ninth level of Qi Refining for more than ten years. My practice was in trouble, my mind was tired, and my will was slack. But at this auction, evil cultivators were raging in the city, which opened my eyes and made me realize something."
Zhao Siyao sighed.
"In terms of life experience, Siyao is not as good as fellow Taoist Lin Yi, nor is he as good as fellow Taoist Lu. This time, I plan to go to Huanglong Fairy City and the Black Mist Mountains to hone my skills, kill monsters, and consolidate my foundation."
Zhao Siyao's voice was clearer and her eyes were firm.
Lu Changan thought thoughtfully, going to the Black Mist Mountains to hone his skills, the risks are not small.
Going out to experience and sharpen your mind is one aspect.
Some precious spiritual herbs and monster materials in the Black Mist Mountains can be exchanged for contributions at the sect.
Zhao Siyao wanted to redeem the Foundation Establishment Pill, but his contribution to the sect was not enough and he kept following the rules, which inevitably made people anxious.
Especially in this auction, the Foundation Establishment Pill is out of reach.
She also found problems herself, so she might as well go out to experience and take a chance.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, my respected master didn't help you?"
Lu Changan felt moved and asked.
Zhao Siyao became a disciple of a fake Alchemy Jurchen. Lu Changan was relieved when he learned about it.
In this way, her outstanding beauty and temperament are guaranteed in the sect, and she will not be easily coveted or subject to the unspoken rules of her seniors.
It stands to reason that as the fake elixir master, a little care in the sect can speed up the progress of Zhao Siyao's foundation building.
"Master, she has several disciples and doesn't have many resources to take care of me."
Zhao Siyao forced a smile and looked slightly depressed.
"Furthermore, her grandson is an inner disciple. Now that he is accepted as a disciple, he needs to invest a lot..."
Although Zhao Siyao didn't say it clearly, Lu Changan immediately made a guess.
If False Dan Zhenren wants to cultivate his grandson, how much impact will it have compared to Fu Zhao Siyao's foundation building?
It’s not like the other party has to pay for the foundation building resources.
The problem probably lies with the grandson.
That fake Dan Jurchen probably wanted to bring Zhao Siyao and his grandson together.
In this way, the resources she took care of were used on her own family.
Lu Changan sighed secretly, thinking that Zhao Siyao would be able to avoid covetousness and unspoken rules by becoming a disciple of the female fake Dan.
The fact is that it was avoided, but not completely avoided.
Zhao Siyao probably looked down on the grandson of the fake alchemy master, which made the master unhappy and refused to truly support him in terms of foundation building.
…
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, you are going to the Black Mist Mountains for training. Lu can't help you much. He can only give you two first-level high-quality talismans to express your feelings."
Lu Changan took out a Speed Talisman and a Rejuvenation Talisman and handed them to Zhao Siyao.
The former is used to speed up escape, and the latter is used to heal injuries.
Zhao Siyao went here to practice, and there were inevitable risks, which would determine whether he could build a foundation in the future.
If you are unlucky, your beauty will die young.
Today is the last time Lu Changan sees Zhao Siyao.
Zhao Siyao did not refuse, took the talisman, and felt the extraordinary power contained in the talisman.
It's obviously not an ordinary first-order top grade.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, these two talismans..."
She rolled her beautiful eyes and said in surprise.
"This is made by the eldest lady. I rarely go out of the market, so I won't be able to use it if I keep it on my body."
Lu Changan said in a relaxed tone.
As a first-level high-grade talisman master, Mu Xiuyun can theoretically refine it, but the probability is relatively low.
A first-level high-grade talisman is equivalent to an ordinary spell strike in the late stage of Qi training.
The power of top-grade fine products is comparable to that of the peak of Qi refining. Even if it is not as good as the secret killing technique and top-grade magic weapon, it is still a great help for the later stages of Qi refining.
"Fellow Daoist Lu's thoughts will be kept in Siyao's heart."
Zhao Siyao looked dignified, curtsied and her fairy skirt rose and fell.
She guessed that this was a life-saving talisman given by Lu Changan's future wife, Mu Xiuyun.
For Lu Changan to be able to give this as a gift, it’s a sign of deep affection!
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, take care on the road."
"Friend Lu Dao, there is no need to send it off again."
Before leaving, the elegant and cold Fairy Zhao looked back at Lu Changan.
The young man in white looks as calm as before, as calm as water.
The two looked at each other for a moment.
Zhao Siyao's eyes were clear and calm, she nodded slightly and flew away.
…
After the auction, Zhuye Mountain returned to calm, and business became much quieter.
In the next year or two, the popularity improved slightly, but it was difficult to regain its former glory.
Lu Changan has been staying in Fangshi, peaceful and leisurely.
It doesn’t take much time to practice and draw talismans.
"Yunsha Body Refining Technique" has been steadily improving, and three years after the auction, it has successfully entered the third level.
Corresponds to the later stage of Qi refining!
As Lu Changan expected, his body refining skills surpassed his magic power.
at this time.
His physique is comparable to that of a late-stage first-order monster.
As long as low-grade magic weapons don't hit his vital points, they pose little threat to him and can hardly break through his physical defense.
He has lamented more than once: "The Body Refining Technique and the Evergreen Technique are a perfect match."
The former consumes time and energy and improves survivability; the latter prolongs life and has strong resilience.
"Is the genius granddaughter of the Zhou family gone?"
Not long after entering the third level of body refining, Lu Changan heard good news.
In the past few years, Zhou Qingxuan stayed in Zhuye Mountain and met Lu Changan several times in Fangshi.
This woman only asked Xuan Shui Turtle once, so that's not the point.
She once asked Lu Changan: "Master Lu Fu, you stay in Fangshi all year round and help me keep an eye on any monks who are acting suspiciously. They may be the hidden 'Senior Yan'."
Lu Changan was amused. He didn't expect Zhou Qingxuan to be so curious.
Zhou Qingxuan may have concluded that Senior Yan was a righteous monk who guarded the city, so he dared to explore.
Fortunately, this woman stayed for three years, lost patience, and finally left.
Lu Changan felt relieved, set up a ban on the second floor, and used the secret healing technique of Evergreen Kung Fu.
Buzz!
The magic power in his body surged, and a green halo lingered on his hand, like a new bud injected into the turtle egg.
Inside the eggshell, there were emotional fluctuations of longing for joy.
One month...two months...three months...
Lu Changan noticed that the speed of longevity yuan consumption was not an exaggeration.
Actively consuming life span will not deplete his vitality.
After consuming three months of life.
The life breath in the turtle egg increased to a new level, and a cheerful and friendly mood spread.
At this time, the life fluctuations in the Xuanshui turtle egg reached normal levels.
Basically enough.
But in order to hatch the Xuanshui hatchlings in the future, they will have better physiques, thick skins and can be handled easily, so they will be easier to feed.
Lu Changan invested another three months of life.
When he saved Mu Xiuyun, he only spent two months of his life.
At this time, the life force inside the turtle egg becomes more active and vigorous.
