Through testing, Lu Changan discovered that by killing and devouring the target's essence and blood soul, the identity obtained by the mask was not only a simulation of the face and breath, but also more realistic and perfect.
There is a potential quality in the Baihuan Mask that affects him. Every move, every frown, and every smile matches the inner temperament of the person who acquires the identity.
It only takes a moment.
He is like being "possessed" by the dead Pei Qiuyan, vividly interpreting a cold and refined female cultivator in the foundation period.
His behavioral habits, tone of voice, and various body details are all so fake that they look real.
"As long as you don't tell the truth, even people you know well will have a hard time seeing through the disguise."
Lu Changan came to a conclusion.
The main difference between this and the previous camouflage effect, which was just to obtain the target's blood and mana, lies in the true charm.
A few years ago, when he pretended to be Junior Brother Cheng, he could only ensure that his appearance and aura were fake. If someone close to him might notice something was wrong.
Fortunately, Junior Brother Cheng had been expelled from the school for many years, so Lu Changan was careful not to say anything so as not to expose any obvious flaws.
After a long time, Lu Changan took off the Baihuan Mask and felt dazed for a moment, as if he had returned to his real identity from an immersive performance.
If you are an ordinary monk, you will have a strong sense of gap.
However, this pales in comparison to the reincarnation of the Nine Seal Monument.
Zhizhi!
Seeing Lu Changan return to his original appearance, the Earth Rock Rat was overjoyed and relaxed from his tense state.
It stretched out its paws and touched Lu Changan's body intimately, as if it wanted to distinguish the true from the false.
…
Then half a year.
The chaotic fighting around Wuqi Mountain was somewhat contained.
It seems that Lihuo Palace's action has a certain deterrent effect.
Lu Changan used his hard-earned money to gift Song Wenshu the spiritual stone (shared among the three peak masters), but it was not in vain.
Song Wenshu occasionally took the law enforcement monks from Lihuo Palace to patrol near Wuqi Mountain and drank tea at Xiaogui Peak.
In the eyes of outsiders, it shows the good relationship between Wu Qishan and the monks from Lihuo Palace.
However, it is still impossible to prevent Wu Qishan's guests from being intercepted and killed on the way.
It's just not as arrogant as before, and the crime occurred at least dozens of miles away.
This situation is already relatively good compared to the surrounding areas of most cities or fairy cities.
Mainly due to environmental factors.
As the sect's war against the Feng Kingdom continued, more demons, ghosts, and ne'er-do-wells took advantage of the opportunity to make trouble and fish in troubled waters.
Those who cause chaos are only part of the real calamity cultivators.
In many cases, it is a "temporary guest appearance" by ordinary monks, such as the deceased Pei brothers and sisters.
If Lu Changan hadn't lived a long life and made a lot of money in this life, and if he encountered a good opportunity, he might have made a guest appearance, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, fishing for law enforcement.
This day.
The three peak masters of Wuqi Mountain were discussing matters in Xiaoguifeng Cave.
This discussion was initiated by Lu Changan.
"Recently, there has been an increase in the number of people killing people to seize treasures and intercepting and killing guests around Wuqi Mountain. There is a trend of resurgence and a return to chaos."
Lu Changan said.
What he didn't say was that in the past two months, his powerful soul had faintly sensed that an unknown monk had spied on Wuqi Mountain from a distance.
This kind of spying is not necessarily aimed at Wu Qishan, but may be to keep an eye on those guests.
As a longevity person with crystal condensation pill in hand, he needs a stable cultivation environment.
"I have also felt this situation. The guests who have been intercepted recently are basically monks with weak strength or background, and most of them have troubles at night."
Master Fairy nodded.
Against the general background, the public security in various parts of the Liang Kingdom's immortal world has declined, which is a common phenomenon, especially near small and medium-sized trading communities.
The sect is out fighting and has limited manpower, so it is impossible to take care of every small case.
Only a few ordinary monks died, which did not cause a big impact and would not attract the attention of the sect.
Song Wenshu has been very busy recently, and it is not easy for him to take action in a big way on Wu Qishan's small incident, which is not outstanding.
"Lu suspects that there is a group of fixed robbery cultivators near Wuqi Mountain. The guests on our mountain are one of their targets."
Lu Changan first expressed his speculation.
There are no markets in the surrounding two thousand miles, but there are several spiritual vein dojos and small cultivating families. Wu Qi Mountain can be regarded as a small gathering place for trading.
"Fellow Daoist Lu invited us over. Do you have any suggestions?"
Ye Fei said with a smile.
Having been neighbors for so many years, he knew Lu Changan's behavior quite well.
"There are two options."
Lu Changan said thoughtfully.
"First, if you don't want to take risks, spend spiritual stones to invite experts to come over and eliminate the calamity cultivators who have settled nearby."
"Second, if Jie Xiu's strength is average, we will solve it ourselves privately to serve as a warning to others."
Hearing this, the other two peak masters nodded slightly in agreement.
The three peak masters of Wuqi Mountain have considerable financial resources and strength, so they can consider both options.
"The premise is to find out the details of Jie Xiu's strength. I am not good at tracking."
Shi Manrong thought.
Lu Changan and Ye Fei looked at each other.
"Leave this matter to the two of us."
Lu Changan has a second-level rat demon with a keen sense of smell and is good at tracking and detecting.
In addition to pharmacological and poisonous techniques, Ye Fei also mastered a mysterious insect repellent technique.
"Fairy Master has a high level of cultivation and has the most methods. If you want to fight, you need to be more patient."
…
In the following nights, Lu Changan and Ye Fei investigated secretly.
First, they investigated the twenty-mile radius of Wuqi Mountain and found no trace or stronghold of Jie Xiu.
It's noon today.
Xiao Guifeng, in the pavilion beside the lotus pond.
Lu Changan tasted the spiritual tea brought by the maid.
The Xuan Shui Turtle was lying on the edge of the pool, staring blankly in a certain direction, with a hint of longing in his eyes.
Lu Changan suddenly thought that Guan Qiaozhi had not written a letter for several years.
"Twenty years."
He made a rough calculation and found that Guan Qiaozhi had been gone for more than twenty years.
Lu Changan was one hundred and seven years old when this woman left.
A few days ago, Lu Changan turned one hundred and twenty-eight years old.
In a few years, Guan Qiaozhi will also reach the age of 100.
Because there was no fighting, proper maintenance, and taking the first-level life-extending pill, he expected Guan Qiaozhi to live at least until close to the upper limit of the Qi refining period.
Whoosh!
A ray of light from the foundation-building stage shuttled from outside Wuqi Mountain and headed straight for Wuqi Mountain, interrupting Lu Changan's thoughts.
"Uncle Lu!"
A woman's voice sounded as soft as an oriole's cry.
A slender and graceful woman in a green skirt flew down to the small turtle peak.
Starry eyes and white teeth, as clear and graceful as jade.
The familiar voice and appearance evoked two memories of Lu Changan.
The more distant memories have almost faded.
My recent memory is of one of the two maids on Little Turtle Peak, that lonely and persistent girl in a green skirt.
"Bingyun, you're here."
Lu Changan stood up and smiled.
The formation was activated, and Mu Bingyun entered this once extremely familiar place.
More than twenty years have passed, and the layout of the mountain, including every plant and tree, has remained almost unchanged.
The Black Water Turtle has just grown up.
The admired Uncle Lu is still dressed in white, ageless, gentle and peaceful.
The tall and handsome figure is like an ancient tree rooted in the earth. As time goes by, it becomes deeper and more stable.
At that moment, perhaps due to her psychological effect, she had a vague illusion of greatness.
…
"Bingyun, I've met Uncle Lu."
Mu Bingyun stepped forward with a respectful tone and bowed her hands.
As an old friend, the maid who had been with her day and night, Lu Changan did not greet her politely and allowed her to sit down in the pavilion as she pleased.
The moment Mu Bingyun entered the pavilion, she almost stepped into the role of the maid back then, preparing to serve Uncle Lu tea and water.
She realized that the ten or twenty years she spent in Xiaoguifeng had an indelible impact on her life.
"Nowadays, the area around Wuqi Mountain is quite chaotic. You shouldn't come here at will."
Lu Changan took a sip of tea and looked at the former maid again.
Mu Bingyun has been promoted to the middle stage of foundation building, probably in the past two years.
This went more smoothly than he expected.
"Uncle Lu, in the Liang Kingdom, apart from the sect, is there any real stable place?"
Mu Bingyun sighed lightly.
Then, she told the purpose of coming to Wuqi Mountain this time.
"A few months ago, the originally chaotic Zhuye Shanfang City was attacked by a group of monks who cooperated with each other. Fighting and looting occurred everywhere in the city. The family's shops suffered heavy losses and several casualties..."
Lu Changan did not expect that the security environment in Zhuye Mountain was much worse than that in Wuqi Mountain.
Around Wu Qi Mountain, there were at most a few robbery cultivators, and no big troubles were caused.
"The owner of Bamboo Leaf Mountain is the Maple Leaf Huang family. The Taoist companion of Huang family's foundation-building female monk 'Huang Yingchun', who was in the late stage of foundation-building, didn't take action?"
Lu Changan's eyes flashed.
"No. That person in the late stage of foundation building is nearing the end of his lifespan and is already old. Huang Yingchun just alienated her relationship with him two years ago. Naturally, the other party will not fight for it..."
Mu Bingyun explained.
"During the Battle of Fangshi, a new Foundation Stager who the Huang family had managed to cultivate in the past few years also died unfortunately."
After hearing this, Lu Changan basically concluded that Zhuye Mountain would become a place of right and wrong.
"Feiyue Lake is a foundation-building family relatively close to Zhuye Mountain, and the safety of the monks in the clan is threatened. I discussed with Uncle Erqing to improve Feiyue Lake's clan-protecting formation."
"Wu Qishan's Shixianzi is a quasi-third-level formation mage and has a good relationship with Uncle Lu. Bingyun would like to ask her to help set up the formation."
Mu Bingyun explained her intention.
"This matter is not a big problem. I will take you to visit her later."
Lu Changan nodded.
His friendship with Master Shixianzi was not as deep as usual.
"By the way, Bingyun. When you came to Wu Qi Mountain, did you feel like you were being watched?"
Lu Changan asked.
"It seems that at a certain moment, I felt this way."
Mu Bingyun did not confirm, looking thoughtful.
Based on her understanding of Uncle Lu, there must be a reason for such a question.
In today's relatively chaotic situation, it is normal to be spied on occasionally on the road.
However, the monks in the middle stage of foundation building are also second-level talisman masters, and the idle calamity cultivators dare not make any decisions.
Without planning in advance, even in the late stage of foundation building, there is no way to say that you can definitely win the Talisman Master in the middle stage of foundation building.
Lu Changan discovered that someone had placed a vague tracking mark on Mu Bingyun's body.
