Since Zhao Siyao was in seclusion, Lu Changan did not visit this time.
After leaving Jinyun Valley.
Lu Changan did not return to Wuqi Mountain immediately.
He planned to visit surrounding cities and fairy cities to see if he could purchase some relatively low-cost materials.
The news of the sect's expedition was basically unknown to the middle and lower classes in the world of immortality cultivation.
Previously, even some senior officials were not sure.
At present, the growth rate of materials is not that exaggerated, and there is still some room for profit.
The first stop Lu Changan went to was "Wufengfang City" in the south of Jinyun Valley.
Back then, Lu Changan took Li Erqing to listen to music at the "Baixiang Immortal Tower" in Wufengfang City, including helping Zhao Siyao repair high-grade magical instruments.
The size of this city is relatively larger than that of Immortal City.
Lu Changan uses the identity of an ordinary young man in the "Hundred Fantasy Mask". On this basis, he slightly adjusts his disguise to add an extra layer of identity disguise.
Maintain the cultivation level in the middle stage of foundation building, and receive VIP-level treatment in large stores in Wufengfang City.
After half a day.
Lu Changan scanned a batch of goods, mainly materials for talismans, elixirs, and puppets.
The price increase of materials is also not small, but not as high as that of finished products.
The supply of various war preparation materials exceeds the demand, and they are also restricted by craftsmen, especially high-quality ones.
Prices are transmitted to materials with a slight lag.
When the news of the war is confirmed and materials become scarce, prices will definitely rise sharply.
During the period of sweeping goods, Lu Changan also visited the "Spiritual Medicine Pavilion" in Wufengfang City.
Back then, when he came to Wufengfang City for the first time, Lu Changan was secretly followed by the shopkeeper of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, but was later frightened off by a message from his divine consciousness.
After so many years, the shopkeeper failed to advance to the foundation building stage and passed away long ago.
After inquiring, it was found that among his descendants, there were monks in the late stage of Qi refining who worked as pharmacists in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion.
Lu Changan's eyes are not that small.
There is no need to take revenge on his descendants or the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion for a trivial matter in the past.
That's too much fuss.
After all, the shopkeeper back then just kept an eye on him and didn't take any action.
Half a day after Lu Changan left.
An interesting story came from Wufengfang City.
It is said that several of the precious medicinal materials stored in the Lingyao Pavilion were lost inexplicably. The loss was considerable, causing the owner to become furious.
There were extremely fine residues left at the scene, which were suspected to have been sneaked in and eaten by mysterious spiritual beasts.
…
Wufengfang City, two thousand miles away.
Lu Changan glanced at the spiritual pet bag while flying.
An orange-purple rat demon with a bulging belly was burping, stretching its limbs lazily, and lying in the spiritual pet bag.
Lu Changan smiled, the precious medicinal materials that the Earth Rock Rat had eaten in the past few years were not as much as he had eaten in one day.
Ten days later.
Lu Changan arrived at Bauhinia Fairy City on the west side of Jinyun Valley.
This fairy city is close to the border of Liang State and has commercial contacts with the "Jing State" in the Western Regions.
The Jing Kingdom is just a small immortal cultivation country with poor spiritual resources. The most powerful immortal cultivation force is the Jindan Sect.
The country is branched by the Black Mist Mountains in the north and is located between the Chen Kingdom and the Liang Kingdom.
Although the location of Bauhinia Fairy City is remote, the value of materials is slightly higher than that of Wufengfang City.
Lu Changan speculated that since there were many powerful forces in the fairy city, they had a keener sense of news.
The top executives of some chambers of commerce may have some information, but they may not dare to make big bets.
Once the war situation in the Feng Kingdom changes, or if the top bosses in the Liang Kingdom give up their ideas and invest too much, they may lose everything.
After purchasing in Bauhinia Fairy City.
Commander Lu flew to the Liaoyuan Fairy City and stopped at Mu's house in Feiyue Lake on the way.
…
At Mu's house, Lu Changan met Li Erqing and Mu Bingyun.
After not seeing each other for many years, Mu Bingyun has matured a lot. She looks to be in her mid-twenties, and has the confident demeanor of a family ancestor and a foundation-building female cultivator.
In recent years, Mujia's development momentum has been good, and its industry has expanded steadily. Several stores have been opened in Zhuye Mountain, Wufeng Mountain, and Huanglong Fairy City.
As for the reason for the increase in supplies, Lu Changan gave a hint to the two of them but did not elaborate.
Before leaving.
Mu Bingyun sent a message and wanted to talk to Lu Changan alone and ask for advice on cultivation and drawing talismans.
Lu Changan glanced at this female cultivator in a green skirt who was as graceful as jade, slender and graceful. Expectation, reverence, and a hint of hidden emotion filled her starry eyes.
Lu Changan refused Mu Bingyun's request to talk alone because he was busy.
By Feiyue Lake.
Mu Bingyun stood there, slightly disappointed, watching the man in white go away.
Thinking of a certain explanation given by Master before his death.
She clenched her bare hands into fists, took a deep breath, and tried to muster up her courage, but her face soon became distressed and confused.
Li Erqing saw that lonely figure, which seemed to overlap with a certain figure in his memory.
He sighed in his heart: The two most outstanding and beautiful female cultivators of the Mu family could not keep that man's heart.
…
After leaving Feiyue Lake, Lu Changan stopped by Zhuye Mountain to have a look.
The level of Zhuye Shanfang City is slightly lower, and it is no longer as prosperous as the first auction that year.
The Maple Leaf Huang family, the owner of Fangshi, now has two foundation-building monks.
The original foundation-building female cultivator "Huang Yingchun" relied on the late-stage foundation-building Taoist monk, who was said to be old and nearing the end of his lifespan.
The cooperative relationship between the two parties gradually faded.
The materials purchased by Lu Changan had high quality requirements, so they were not very harvestable in Zhuye Shanfang City.
One month later.
Lu Changan went to Liaoyuan Fairy City and Huanglong Fairy City one after another.
In the prairie fire fairy city, the price of materials was the highest, so Lu Changan reluctantly bought some talismans, high-grade materials for puppets.
In Huanglong Fairy City, in addition to ordinary parts and furs of monsters, other materials are also not cheap.
finally.
After completing the large purchase, Lu Changan returned to Wuqi Mountain.
During the procurement, Lu Changan did not use his identity.
In fact, there are large-scale Fangshi and even Fairy City in the east and south of Liang State, and even in the area north of the Black Mist Mountains.
As the price of supplies continued to rise, Lu Changan followed the trend and only went to relatively nearby areas.
…
one year later.
Lu Changan, who was in Wuqi Mountain, received gossip from the outside world.
It is said that the immortal world of Liang Kingdom will fall into war.
There are different opinions on the specific reasons.
Among them, the most outrageous news is: Yan State's Wuya Palace has been beaten to the point where Feng State surrenders, and it will be Liang State's turn in two years.
When the news of the war was known even to the maid Lan Rou, it had obviously spread widely everywhere.
Some uninformed low-level casual cultivators were frightened and followed the trend to purchase war preparation supplies.
Some unscrupulous merchants and shops claim that if they don’t buy it now, the price will double if there is a war.
As a result, combat readiness materials, which were already at a high level, have increased even further.
Materials that were originally lagging behind were reluctant to sell. In response, prices surged, in line with war preparation supplies.
In this regard, the three peak masters of Wuqi Mountain gathered together to discuss this.
Lu Changan and Ye Fei really made a lot of money.
Talismans and elixirs are all consumables in war.
"The formation's increase is average, and I don't make as much as the other two."
Shi Manrong said with a gentle voice and a smile.
The formation is not a consumable, and the battlefield is not in the Liang Kingdom. It just increases with certain materials.
"Haha, if the price of the formation increases significantly, that is definitely not a good thing! Master Fairy, it's better not to look forward to it."
Ye Fei had a drink and joked.
"When Mr. Lu earns the spirit stones, he is going to find the Master Fairy to improve Xiao Guifeng's formation. At that time, I hope to give him a preferential price."
Lu Changan felt relieved and said hello in advance.
The peak master of Wuqi Mountain made a lot of money, but he couldn't hide it from anyone who wanted to know.
The more you earn, the less you should skimp on protective measures.
Shi Xianzi's current formation attainments can already deploy a quasi-third-level formation.
"Friend Lu Dao sincerely takes care of the business, and I can't ask for anything more from you."
Shi Manrong lightly lifted her hair and toasted a glass of spiritual wine. A touching light red appeared on her silver plate-like face.
Ye Fei glanced at Lu Changan and Shi Manrong.
I found that these two more senior peak masters occasionally met their eyes and chatted happily.
More than thirty years have passed since my teacher Manrong lost his memory.
It was a "new acquaintance". Lu Changan's friendship with this woman deepened, and they had similar views, so it was inevitable that they would like each other.
In recent years, Shi Manrong and he occasionally met in private. Compared with the previous dignified and reserved manner, Shi Manrong was a little more close and gentle.
However, Lu Changan remembered that after this woman came back from hunting the great demon in Huanglong Mountain, she once said that she had restored the incomplete memory fragments of the ancient ruins, and she did not mention this matter again in these years.
…
In the next two years, the information about the war became more and more accurate.
Because the top leaders of several major sects have reached a consensus and begun to unite the forces of the seven major families, major fairy cities and chambers of commerce.
A year or two before the war was about to come to an end, Lu Changan went to various fairy cities and sold the accumulated materials one after another under different identities.
Give priority to materials that are second-level or below, followed by materials that have nothing to do with skills.
Finally, there are some old, second-level low-quality talismans and puppets.
Through war speculation, buying low and selling high, and refining and selling war supplies, Lu Changan made huge profits.
unconsciously.
He has accumulated more than 30,000 spiritual stones alone.
This does not include the batch of high-grade talismans and puppets that he has accumulated in his hands.
In the past few years, Lu Changan earned many spiritual stones and purchased materials for refining puppets.
Not counting some trump cards, Lu Changan's net worth is higher than that of many fake elixirs.
Take Xiang Jinglong as an example. After achieving the false elixir, he purchased magic weapons and used them all up in his life. Money was tight.
Secretly, Xiang Jinglong also occasionally guest-starred as Jie Xiu. Even so, the efficiency of earning spiritual stones is far less than that of Lu Changan.
Lu Changan made statistics and found that Fu Lu earned more spiritual stones than the puppet.
The main reason is that the puppet refining cycle is long, the price is high, and few monks can afford it.
And if you are not a puppet master, or your spiritual awareness is not outstanding, it will be difficult for you to exert the true power of the puppet.
…
This day.
The secret room of Xiaogui Peak.
"One hundred and twenty-six years old, six floors of foundation building."
Lu Changan opened his eyes as dark as ink, and slowly drew back his strength, his white clothes fluttering.
The total amount of Evergreen Mana in the body has increased by 20 to 30% compared to the fifth level of foundation building.
Because it is not a small realm breakthrough, the quality of the mana is almost the same.
The power of using magic weapons or spells will not be significantly improved, which mainly affects long-term combat.
If you go one step further, break through the seventh level of foundation building, enter the late stage of foundation building, and become a major cultivator of the same level in the foundation building stage, your strength will make a qualitative leap.
Huchi!
The big green turtle, nearly one foot and five feet wide, rubbed Lu Changan's breath and fawned over him affectionately.
Lu Changan understood its meaning.
After leaving the customs, he sat on the back of the Xuan Shui Turtle.
The black water turtle carried its owner and jumped out of the cave happily, showing off its power to the rock rat not far away.
The rock rat glanced at the big turtle with disdain, bared his teeth, and felt a little apprehensive.
Zhizhi!
It came to the big turtle in a standing posture, which was much taller than the black water turtle, and presented a letter in an anthropomorphic manner.
This is a letter sent by Zhang Tieshan.
The content of the letter made Lu Changan slightly moved.
"The Liang Kingdom sect has announced the expedition, and Jinyun Valley will send out the first batch of monks..."
