Wuqi Mountain, Xiaogui Peak.
Lu Changan sat in the pavilion and put away the letter in his hand.
In the lotus pond not far away, lotus flowers are in full bloom, white and red, with tender pistils and pearls, and the fragrance is fragrant.
The other side of the lotus pond.
A young girl in a green skirt stood by the pool. Her face was as clear as snow, her waist was as thin as a willow tree, and her skirt moved with the wind, as graceful as a light cloud emerging from her neck.
A year after coming to Xiaogui Peak, Mu Bingyun was taciturn and her temperament became more and more lonely, like a snow lotus on the peak.
"It's very similar." Lu Changan glanced at it.
Mu Bingyun's appearance and temperament are very similar to those of the eldest lady back then, but her personality is more aloof and less generous.
This is related to her growing environment.
Both of his parents died when he was young, and he was adopted as a disciple by Mu Xiuyun, without a complete parental relationship.
Also influenced by the master's experience, he doesn't trust men.
When they came to Xiaogui Peak, Guan Qiaozhi was wary of Mu Bingyun. She was warm on the surface but would not treat her sincerely.
In addition to practicing, Lu Changan also practiced body training, painted talismans, cultivated treasure talismans, studied puppets, etc.
I don't have much time to care about her.
In addition to the maintenance once every two months, I also occasionally give guidance on spiritual practice and drawing of talismans.
Zhizhi!
The rock rat ran to Mu Bingyun with a delicate mountain flower in its mouth.
"Give it to me?"
Mu Bingyun stretched out her scallion fingers and took the mountain flower, her elegant face finally showing a smile, like the morning sun melting the winter snow.
Xiaoguifeng’s two pets.
Xuan Shui Turtle is closer to Guan Qiaozhi. Because she has been accompanied and fed by Guan Qiaozhi since she was a child.
The Earth Rock Rat is only loyal to Lu Changan and has no interest in the two human female cultivators.
This action was authorized by Lu Changan.
The main concern was that Mu Bingyun would lose her temper without a companion.
"Bingyun." Lu Changan waved.
"Uncle Lu." Mu Bingyun walked to the pavilion and bowed.
Not far away, Guan Qiaozhi, who was tending the medicinal fields with Xuan Shuigui, listened attentively.
"Have you recovered from your injury?"
"It's no longer serious. Thanks to Uncle Lu's care, the discomfort in the Dantian has lessened during practice now, and my magic power has begun to improve. The progress is slightly slower than before the injury."
When Mu Bingyun said this, her tone was a little brisk.
This is the best news for her one year in Wuqi Mountain.
Lu Changan's nursing techniques have certain effects.
From the initial discomfort and slight suspicion, she gradually adapted, feeling respectful and ashamed.
Such a unique way of caring for her, if he hadn't been thinking about his old relationship, how could Uncle Lu take the trouble and prepare to spend more than ten years helping her heal her.
"That's good."
Lu Changan nodded and changed the subject again.
"Little Turtle Peak doesn't support idlers."
"From now on, you will take over Qiaozhi's part of the work of making materials for drawing talismans. The final step of preparing the spiritual ink, maintaining the talisman pens, and refining the talisman paper."
Mu Bingyun is a first-level mid-level Talisman Master, suitable for doing technical work.
"Yes, Uncle Lu."
Mu Bingyun's eyes lit up, feeling relieved.
She was practicing in Xiaogui Peak, getting recuperated and living and eating for free, which made her feel very uneasy.
Mu Bingyun returned to the cave and made some preparations.
"Brother Lu, Qiaozhi alone is enough to make the materials for drawing talismans. Why let Bingyun..."
Guan Qiaozhi's tone was sad and soft, and she was about to cry.
"I have more important work for you."
Lu Changan was prepared and handed her a jade tube.
Guan Qiaozhi put the jade tube between her eyebrows, checked the contents, and soon showed surprise.
"Please keep this matter confidential."
Lu Changan ordered.
"Those key puppet parts are handled privately in a secret room."
"Brother Lu, don't worry."
Guan Qiaozhi's eyebrows raised and her face beamed with joy.
At this time, she only had a secret of Brother Lu.
In addition to the second level talisman master, Brother Lu has another skill that is ready to attack the second level.
…
In the blink of an eye, another two years have passed.
Lu Changan is eighty-six years old and has been stationed in Wuqi Mountain for fifteen years.
On this day, inside the secret room of the cave.
Lu Changan squatted on the ground and installed the last dark armor piece on a humanoid puppet that was two feet tall.
This humanoid puppet is more like a statue, wearing armor and holding a long sword.
Remove the breast shield from the puppet's chest and insert a few pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones into it.
The energy core involving the puppet is naturally a key protection area.
Lu Changan used the puppet control technique, and the statue puppet, which was two feet tall, glowed with a dim green light, and there was a faint sound of the mechanism operating.
Changge swings forward, the strong wind is dull.
The power of spiritual pressure it exudes is comparable to that of a monk in the early stages of foundation building.
"The second-order puppet is finally done."
Lu Changan was content, with a smile on his face.
In this life, there is finally a second-level skill for protecting the Tao.
The puppet method can greatly increase the fault tolerance rate.
For example, Huang Tankong is approaching the end of his life.
Sending out a second-level puppet will force him to use up his remaining life.
If he encounters a truly great opportunity, involving the quality of the alchemy and the hope of being promoted to Nascent Soul, he cannot remain indifferent even if he has a long life.
The puppets are cannon fodder for the front line.
"The cost of creating a puppet is really high, and it takes a lot of time and effort."
Lu Changan put away the second-level statue puppet and felt something in his heart.
It took more than two months to spend some time every day to build this second-level puppet.
In this life, if he hadn't cultivated Chang Qing Gong and had a lot of free time, he wouldn't have the energy to cultivate his body at the same time, and he would upgrade his puppet to the second level.
Every monk has limited energy in his life.
Self-cultivation is very time-consuming and requires resources to break through small realms and large realms.
It is rare to be able to elevate a skill to a higher level.
Hard work alone is not enough, you also need talent and corresponding inheritance.
Lu Changan's alchemy skills took decades to barely touch the threshold of the second level.
…
Lu Changan became a second-level puppet master and kept it secret for the time being.
Even Guan Qiaozhi only knew that he was trying to attack the second-level puppet master.
Next, Lu Changan needs to purchase materials for the second-level puppet.
The materials for making puppets have different types, so the range of choices is relatively wide.
Spirit wood, monster parts, and various ores can all be used as materials for making puppets.
The materials for second-level low-grade puppets are relatively easy to find.
No need to attend the auction.
Lu Changan flew to Huanglong Fairy City and could easily buy it with the Huanglong Pavilion VIP Order.
Recently, he cooperated with the Zhou family of beast control again.
By the way, he handed the painted talisman to the monk at the Zhou family's residence.
Zhou Qingxuan is no longer in Huanglong Immortal City. He used to stay here to hone his skills and accumulate qualifications.
The person negotiating with Lu Changan was another Zhou family foundation-building monk.
His name is Zhou Jingxuan, he is in the middle stage of foundation building.
Zhou Jingxuan is a middle-aged scholar who is kind and talkative.
Lu Changan once heard: Zhou Jingxuan was almost killed by Liang Shaotian back then; but Zhou Qingxuan reacted smartly and saved his uncle's life.
Lu Changan chatted with Zhou Jingxuan for a long time and learned many secrets about the world of immortality in Liang Kingdom.
For example, eighteen years ago, Master Huanglong secretly planned to attack the late stage of Danjie, but failed.
Lu Changan's cultivation in his previous life was at the peak of the late stage of pill formation.
I have a deep understanding of the difficulty in the later stages of pill formation.
He had a lot of opportunities in his previous life. He had the support of his family and paid a considerable price to be able to overcome that hurdle.
"Huanglong Zhenren failed to attack the late stage eighteen years ago."
"As for Tuoba Jin's challenge to Master Huanglong's fake elixir disciple, it was more than ten years ago as a whetstone."
Now, Lu Changan finally understood the details.
In the middle stage of the Dan-formation process of Master Huanglong, a third-level Earth Dragon with Earth-level bloodline was considered very powerful among the Dan-formation masters, and was respected as the No. 1 casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom.
If this person had successfully advanced to the late stage of Dan Jie eighteen years ago, Tuoba Jin would have had to change his goal.
After that challenge, Tuoba Jin went back to practice cultivation, and within two years he was promoted to the early stage of pill formation.
According to Zhou Jingxuan, the quality of Tuoba Jincheng Dan is extremely good, reaching the threshold of "Jin Dan" quality.
Tuoba Jin did not use this name in his early years and changed his name to "Jin" because he was aiming at the golden elixir.
"Golden elixir is considered the seed of the Nascent Soul stage."
Lu Changan can't help but yearn for it.
In his previous life, he had a high-grade spiritual root, and with the strength of his family, he was able to achieve a medium-quality true elixir.
Of the ten golden elixirs, at least nine are from earth spiritual roots, heavenly spiritual roots, and innate treasure bodies.
Tuoba Jin is said to have a high-grade spiritual root and possess an innate treasure body.
…
Lu Changan returned to Wuqi Mountain from Huanglong Fairy City with a bunch of puppet materials on hand.
Guan Qiaozhi is ingenious and very good at handling puppet parts, otherwise the puppet master Sang would not have given him a puppet.
Lu Changan plans a second puppet.
In fact, he wanted to create a second-level flying puppet.
Unfortunately, flying puppets require high skills and materials are harder to find, so they are currently not suitable.
His eyes passed over the Xuan Shui Turtle not far away, and he had an idea in his mind.
Turtle monsters are famous for their strong defense.
"Create a turtle puppet that doesn't need to attack, but can maximize defense. It can also be used as a shield at critical moments."
Lu Changan identified the second puppet.
While he was thinking.
Whoosh!
A ray of light greeted outside Wuqi Mountain and flew to Xiaopanfeng several miles away.
It was a demure female cultivator with tall figure and plump curves, wearing a plain skirt.
"This Master Fairy has been out a lot in recent years."
Lu Changan took a look.
This time Shi Manrong appeared, his magic aura was a little disordered, and his flight was a little hasty.
Lu Changan didn't know what happened and didn't investigate.
A few years ago, Shi Manrong played hard to get, trying to understand the second-level defensive formation in Lu Changan's house in his previous life, but failed.
After that, Shi Manrong did not force himself.
Occasionally I come to Xiaogui Peak.
Bring some small gifts every time, chat with Lu Changan for a few words, and maintain the kind of relationship that is more than polite and pleasant.
Shi Manrong is a well-known formation genius in the surrounding area, and he is expected to be a third-level formation master in the future.
Lu Changan is happy to associate with him.
…
Three days later.
Shi Manrong visits Xiaogui Peak.
This master fairy regained her previous elegance and calmness and brought a small gift box.
However, Lu Changan was not idle today. He was working on the parts of the second-order puppet in the secret room of the cave.
"Senior sister, Brother Lu is in retreat and it is not convenient to see guests."
"Qiaozhi, please give this to Master Lu Fu."
Master Shixianzi smiled slightly and her voice was gentle.
"OK."
Guan Qiaozhi took a small jade box.
After Shi Manrong left.
Guan Qiaozhi returned to the cave and received Lu Changan's permission to send the small jade box to the secret room.
There is a layer of restrictions set up in the small jade box, which can be opened as long as the foundation period is established.
Lu Changan's powerful spiritual consciousness scanned it beforehand and found nothing unusual.
Opening the jade box, there are two objects inside, a transmission note and a jade tube.
Lu Changan activated the transmission talisman.
A gentle and gentle female voice came:
"Having known each other for more than ten years, I have no doubt about Lu Daoyou's character and character."
"I am willing to be honest with you: I will make a deal with fellow Taoist Lu and provide you with an opportunity."
Listen to the content of the transmission notes.
Lu Changan picked up the jade tube and checked the information inside.
His expression moved slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.
"This time, this woman is really sincere."
There are two main contents in that jade tube.
one of them.
This is the layout of the Xiaopanfeng Mountain Protection Formation where Shi Manrong is located, including the flaws and backdoors that exist in it.
Lu Changan has been to Xiaopanfeng and initially confirmed that the information is true.
It is equivalent to saying that this master fairy gave Lu Changan the key to the door of his cave and even the hidden secret passage.
…
(Future updates will be adjusted to daytime)
