Two months later.
Lu Changan left the cave at the foot of Huanglong Mountain.
No one knew that there was a ferocious second-level spiritual pet in his spiritual pet bag.
Returning to Shuiyueju, everything returned to normal.
In order to keep it secret, Lu Changan did not let the Earth Rock Rat appear in front of outsiders, including Guan Qiaozhi.
He bought a larger spiritual pet bag for the rock rat.
This rat either stays in the spiritual pet bag or moves underground and cannot leave the other courtyard.
Fortunately, Lu Changan has a second-level formation that can cover his aura, so he is not afraid of being detected by passing Foundation Stagers.
…
Time flies.
Two years after the big auction.
Since Lu Changan bought a second-level mid-grade animal skin during the auction, he had better materials for drawing talismans.
In the past two years, he has drawn and made five more second-level middle-grade talismans, and together with the three he refined in the past few years, the number has reached eight.
Among them are two second-level mid-quality products,
Its power is equivalent to a full blow in the middle stage of foundation building, and it is very lethal to the early stage of foundation building.
As for the second-level low-grade talismans, there are even more, dozens of them.
This is the foundation he has accumulated over the years he has been in Huanglong Fairy City.
Because it borders the Black Mist Mountains, Lu Changan can occasionally obtain second-level monster skins, including second-level talisman paper and spiritual ink.
It would be difficult to obtain so many second-level raw materials in Feiyue Lake Mujia and Qingzhushanfang City.
"Could it be that my opportunity to build a foundation is also in the Black Mist Mountains?"
On this day, sixty-seven-year-old Lu Changan opened his eyes from meditation.
Now, his cultivation is approaching the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining.
The conditions for impacting the foundation building stage are basically mature, but there is a lack of a genuine foundation building pill.
In the past few years, no one in Master Huadan’s circle of masters and disciples has offered the Mysterious Spirit Fruit.
Even if there is, if the alchemy is performed poorly, there is no guarantee that you will be able to obtain genuine Foundation Building Pills.
In short, it is not under your control.
Lu Changan considered filing a plan to go to the Black Mist Mountains to obtain a special demon core to replace the 300-year-old Xuanling Fruit.
Although there are risks in hunting monsters, many factors can be controlled, and it is not as complicated and dangerous as the human world.
Lu Changan only lives a long life, not immortality.
It is unrealistic not to take any risk at all.
If the life span of two hundred years is delayed to one hundred years old, the physical condition will also decline.
Except for this filing.
Waiting for a medium-sized market to auction the Foundation Establishment Pill. If there is no one present during the later stage of Foundation Establishment, go and buy one in a high-profile manner.
Referring to Zhuye Shanfang City back then, risks were difficult to control.
Opportunities like this are rare.
Those medium-sized cities with stable public security rarely bid for foundation-building pills to avoid causing trouble.
…
Until two months later.
Lu Changan finally made a decision after receiving a letter from Jin Yungu.
Zhao Siyao is coming to the Black Mist Mountains for training again.
Zhao Siyao, who had been building foundation for more than 20 years, encountered a bottleneck and his cultivation was stagnant at the third level of foundation building, making it difficult to advance to the middle stage of foundation building.
When Zhao Siyao was refining the ninth level of Qi, he made some small gains in the Black Mist Mountains and advanced the progress of foundation building.
She wanted to rekindle her old fighting spirit.
Go to the slightly deeper area of the Black Mist Mountains to hunt the second-level monsters and obtain precious resources.
Zhao Siyao's destination is consistent with Lu Changan's appeal.
"There is a trusted foundation-building monk who will be the main force, and the second-level spiritual pets will open the way. I will provide support and provide some talismans. It should be safer to pick the early second-level monsters to start with."
Lu Changan imagined.
Counting his true strength, it is equivalent to the three major foundations.
Lu Changan's physical body is comparable to that of a second-level monster, and he possesses many second-level talismans, including second-level escape talismans, and his survivability is far better than the average foundation-building period.
This does not include the Nine Seal Monument and the trump cards of past and present lives.
As long as you don't enter the core area in the Black Mist Mountains, you will encounter at most second-level monsters.
The higher third-level demon has a tacit understanding with the human Danden Master and can sense each other from afar. Generally, they would not approach Huanglong Fairy City, otherwise it would be a provocation.
Once it appears, it means that the beast tide is coming, and the signs will often be revealed in advance.
…
Before Zhao Siyao arrived, Lu Changan sorted out his magical weapons.
With his current cultivation and spiritual consciousness, high-grade magical instruments have become the main force, supplemented by medium-grade fine magical instruments.
A top-grade attack weapon, a bone bow and arrow.
The evil-faced flying eagle's trophies have enough energy and are as powerful as those in the foundation-building stage.
The evil-faced flying eagle was punished, so this thing is no longer considered stolen goods.
Lu Changan currently has no plans to use it in the human world.
At most, people are shady behind their backs and will not come out openly.
Top-grade defensive weapon, white scale shield.
It was made of second-level monster scale skin and second-level ore, and Lu Changan purchased it at a regular store in Huanglong Fairy City.
"Exotic White Beads", injected with mana, can activate the rays of light to protect the body, resist poisonous gas, and its protective capabilities are comparable to high-grade magic weapons.
However, the protective ability of this bead's rays of light against heavy magic weapons and sharp magic weapons is slightly poor.
It has the best defensive effect against spell attacks.
In terms of spell defense effects alone, it even goes beyond the scope of high-grade magic weapons.
Lu Changan prepares three medium-grade magic weapons every day:
Black net magic weapon, purple soft sword, cold iron thorn.
They are all medium-grade fine instruments.
The black net magic weapon can be used offensively and defensively, and can also trap enemies.
The purple soft sword is good at hiding and changing forms, and can transform into two forms: sword and long whip.
There are six cold iron thorns in total. They are a set of magical tools purchased by Lu Changan. They are thicker and longer than the Qiqiao needle and have stronger penetrating power.
This complete set of magical instruments requires more spiritual consciousness than high-grade magical instruments.
If controlled by the divine consciousness of the foundation-building stage, the cold iron thorn can be used to its limit, and its power will not be inferior to that of a high-grade magic weapon.
Because every cold iron thorn is a top-quality product.
In order to make the Cold Iron Thorn more lethal, Lu Changan combined his previous life experience to purchase materials in Huanglong Fairy City and prepared several second-level poisons.
As for the higher-grade magical instruments.
Lu Changan didn't consider it at all. His level of magic power was not enough to control it.
Even if he has enough spiritual consciousness, if he controls it forcefully, most of his mana may be drained out in one blow, which is not worth the loss.
Instead of doing that, it is better to throw a few second-level talismans without consuming mana.
…
Lu Changan is fully prepared and waiting for Zhao Siyao's arrival.
"Hey! Li Erqing hasn't replied to your letter in the past two years?"
On this day, he sorted through his letters over the years and found something unusual.
In the past, Li Erqing would write letters every year. Even if there was nothing important, he would chat about the daily affairs of his family and children.
But in the past two years, not a single reply has been received.
Lu Changan had a hunch that something had happened to Li Erqing!
In other words, there is something wrong with the Feiyue Lake Mu family, and the letter may be intercepted midway.
Lu Changan disguised his identity and inquired about information in Huanglong Fairy City.
There are organizations in the inner city that specialize in selling intelligence.
However, Feiyue Lake is far away from Huanglong Road, and the Mu family is not a big power in Liang State, so they don't get much information.
"The conflict between the Maple Leaf Huang family and the Feiyue Lake Mu family escalated, with more than a dozen people killed and injured during the Qi refining period."
"The Maple Leaf Huang family expelled the Mu family monks from Zhuye Mountain, and several of the Mu family's shops were all sold at low prices..."
"The Maple Leaf Huang family has committed ten crimes and launched a family war against the Feiyue Lake Mu family."
Lu Changan spent dozens of spiritual stones and purchased the most recent information three months ago.
…
Half a month later.
A Ye Zongmen flying boat landed in front of Shui Yue.
The flying boat was put away.
A female cultivator in a white dress, as cool as a fairy, with a graceful figure, came to the gate of the hospital.
"This fairy, senior, you are..."
Looking at the graceful female cultivator with fluttering fairy skirt and extraordinary bearing, Guan Qiaozhi's pretty eyes widened and her tone was slightly panicked.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, you are finally here!"
Lu Changan greeted him.
"Is she Zhao Siyao?"
Guan Qiaozhi stood aside and watched the two people in white clothes and skirts, like fairies and fairies, entering the house.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, do you know the situation of the Mu family in Feiyue Lake?"
As soon as he sat down, Lu Changan went straight to the topic without exchanging pleasantries.
"I deliberately passed by that way this time, but..."
Zhao Siyao sighed softly.
"Feiyue Lake was besieged by the Maple Leaf Huang Family, and the battle was fierce. The ancestor of the Mu family, Mu Renlong, was seriously injured, and the former head of the family, Mu Maode, died..."
"Li Erqing... Fellow Daoist Li is also seriously injured."
