This time, Song Wenshu stayed as a guest in Wuqi Mountain for half a day before saying goodbye.
As for Alchemist Lin Ye, he has special feelings for Wu Qishan and Xiao Danfeng.
After negotiation, he was allowed to recuperate in a guest room halfway up Xiaodan Peak for a period of time, which would help his recovery.
Alchemist Lin Ye has retained most of his alchemy skills and is willing to assist in alchemy and provide compensation during the recovery period.
He had been questioned by Lihuo Palace before. He was a victim and his identity was innocent.
Lin Ye's cultivation level declined and he didn't have much life left.
Thinking of his tragic fate and old love, the peak master of Wuqi Mountain made this special case.
Song Wenshu brought Lin Ye here as a token of his gratitude to make up for the trouble caused by the "night fisherman".
From this, Lu Changan speculated that Song Wenshu had no hostility towards Wu Qishan and was willing to be on good terms with the three peak masters.
The stance of grievances and grudges in the world of immortality is not black and white, or static.
Song Wenshu has a good relationship with Senior Brother Zhuo, who was once an enemy of Wu Qishan.
However, the relationship between Song Wenshu and Wu Qishan is also acceptable, there is no conflict of interest, and he can expand his own network.
Even the elites of the sect will not blindly make enemies.
…
After seeing off Song Wenshu, the three peak masters chatted with Alchemist Lin Ye for a while.
Lu Changan and Shi Manrong each returned to the main peak.
"Xiang Jinglong became a wanted person and escaped from the Liang Kingdom. Lihuo Palace did not suspect Wu Qishan. The 'Night Fisherman' incident is finally over."
Lu Changan felt reassured.
Xiang Jinglong took the blame again, and he had no psychological burden.
After all, this person bullies the weak, kills people and seizes treasures, and has a lot of misdeeds. He once came to Wuqi Mountain to show off his power and eat the king's meal.
Lu Changan and Xiang Jinglong had no direct conflict of grudges. The other party was a fake elixir master who helped him twice and stopped murdering him.
With the matter settled.
Lu Changan began to think about refining the Zhuyan Pill in the future.
He gathered all the materials for Zhuyan Dan.
The only loophole is that the most critical main ingredient comes from Master Hua.
Alchemist Hua bought this main medicine from Xiang Jinglong, and was later targeted as a fat sheep.
"It has been so many years since this happened. The main ingredient of Zhuyan Pill is not the only one. Xiang Jinglong has become a wanted person again and fled the Liang Kingdom. It is not a big problem."
Lu Changan thought.
He took the Beauty Pill to conceal the nature and truth of his youthfulness.
In this way, if you meet a high-level monk in the future, it will not be easy to see the clues.
In addition to Zhu Yan Dan, Lu Changan also has most of the Crystal Condensation Pill materials, which can be regarded as the biggest result of Brother Zhuo's plundering for many years.
In comparison, the risk of refining the Crystal Condensation Pill is much higher, even if there are no grudges or loopholes.
…
A few days later.
Lin Ye came to Xiaogui Peak to visit Lu Changan.
"Is Master Lin used to returning to Wu Qi Mountain?"
Lu Changan treated Lin Ye kindly and did not show any signs of indifference because of Lin Ye's status as alchemist.
"I returned to Xiaodan Peak and had a good sleep for a few days."
Lin Ye's condition improved significantly. A smile appeared on his dry face, and his expression was no longer as dull as before.
After chatting about some past events, Lin Ye basically remembered them and answered them without any problem.
In terms of memory, it is even more completely preserved than Shixianzi.
This point is slightly different from when we met a few days ago.
Lu Changan couldn't help but think deeply.
"Actually, Lin's mental state has basically returned to normal. Especially after returning to Wuqi Mountain, his mood has become much calmer..."
Lin Ye smiled bitterly and began to reveal the truth.
It turned out that Lin Ye's sluggish state in the past few days was half true and half false.
His mind was awake.
"Fellow Daoist Lin just pretended to the end, why did he tell the truth to Mr. Lu?"
Lu Changan was not surprised by this.
Alchemist Lin Ye was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years.
A monk whose cultivation has declined, is old, and has profound alchemy skills is indeed worthy of being remembered.
"Friend Lu Dao, in this Wuqi Mountain, I can only open my heart to you. I also believe that you will not murder Lin."
Lin Ye took a deep breath and said calmly.
"Lu is so virtuous and capable that he deserves to be trusted by fellow Taoist Lin."
Lu Changan smiled. It seemed that he had been practicing indifferently for hundreds of years, and his image as a "good old man" who did not fight or fight was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
During his long years of cultivation, although Lu Changan occasionally took action to kill potential threats, at least he never actively murdered anyone.
Lin Ye was indeed right about this.
The two had known each other for decades in Wuqi Mountain and knew each other relatively well.
"You might as well tell Fellow Daoist Lu an inside story."
Lin Ye continued:
"After Lin was captured alive by Xiang Jinglong, he was severely tortured by that guy. When Master Hua died, Xiang Jinglong became a suspect, claiming that he was framed, and there was an investigation into this. Master Hua's Enemies, including me, are all subjects of suspicion.”
"Regarding this matter, I did not implicate Fellow Daoist Lu. Instead, I deliberately hinted and guided him to make him suspicious of Fu Xuemei. I hope to use the Huanglong Mountain lineage to eradicate this thief in the future."
Hearing this, Lu Changan suddenly realized.
No wonder Xiang Jinglong became a fake elixir and joined the anti-Huanglongshan camp, harboring hatred for Fu Xuemei.
Taking advantage of the chaos to profit is one aspect, but revenge is also an important factor.
"Fellow Daoist Lin is a white crane in the clouds. In a desperate situation, he sticks to the bottom line and does not involve his old friends. Lu admires him."
Lu Changan praised.
When your wealth and life are controlled by others, people are unpredictable. For ordinary people, it is difficult to ensure that others are not dragged into the trap.
Back then, after Master Hua Dan died, Lin Ye tested Lu Changan to see his reaction.
It can be seen that Lin Ye has some doubts about Lu Changan in his heart, even if the content is not high.
In the end, Xiang Jinglong did not doubt Lu Changan at all, which showed that Master Lin at least had no intention of harming Lu Changan.
"Fellow Daoist Lin told these secrets and truth, but do you need help from Mr. Lu?"
Lu Changan changed his mind and asked directly.
Hearing this, Lin Ye showed a pleased expression.
If Lu Changan was cold and distant, he would not take the initiative to say such things.
…
"Lin has two wishes for the rest of his life. The first is for Xiang Jinglong to lay down his head, and the second is to return to his hometown safely and train alchemy successors for the rest of his life."
"For the former, I believe there will be a day when I see it. Xiang Jinglong will die if he commits many unjust acts."
"In the case of the latter, my current cultivation level has declined, my belongings have been plundered by Xiang Jinglong, and I seriously lack the means to protect myself..."
Lin Ye's current situation is very embarrassing. He is completely broke and doesn't even have an ordinary magic weapon to protect his path.
Lu Changan understood Lin Ye's purpose.
Lu Changan wouldn't mind if he was gifted a few ordinary magic weapons and talismans, but Lin Ye might not feel safe.
In particular, the current world is more chaotic than before.
If Lu Changan was given a complete set of top-quality magic weapons and high-quality talismans, he would suffer too much loss and become a great philanthropist.
"How does Fellow Daoist Lin's current alchemy skills compare to those of the past?"
Lu Changan asked.
"I have been refining alchemy day and night over the years, and the conditions are difficult. My alchemy skills have been honed, and they are actually better than before, which can make up for the gap in cultivation."
Lin Ye said truthfully.
"I am willing to refining elixirs in exchange for rewards and purchase magical tools, talismans and other items to protect the Tao from Daoist Lu."
"Does Fellow Daoist Lu need the level-breaking elixir in the later stage of foundation building? Lin is confident of refining this elixir, and the success rate is definitely higher than that of Ye Fei."
When it came to alchemy, Lin Ye regained some of his previous confidence.
He believed that Lu Changan had stayed in the middle stage of foundation building for many years and would definitely be interested in the level-breaking elixir.
"Well, if we gather the materials, Alchemist Lao Lin will take action."
Lu Changan smiled and accepted the matter.
The level-breaking elixir in the later stage of foundation building can be plotted openly, and it can be used as a cover after breaking through in the future.
If Master Lin has a good elixir-making rate, he can collect the materials himself and make a fortune after refining the elixir.
"Lu still needs pills to enhance his magic power. It doesn't matter if the side effects are slightly greater..."
Lu Changan also mentioned other pills.
The three Blood Yang Pills previously obtained from Master Hua, which can greatly enhance the magic power of the foundation-building monks, have been taken.
The side effects of Xueyang Pill are relatively minor.
Certain elixirs will overdraw and consume lifespan, and the increase in mana will be even more terrifying.
Lu Changan has a long lifespan, and as long as it is not used frequently, the price is relatively affordable.
If used at critical moments, it is an excellent means of protecting the road.
"I am good at this kind of elixir!" Master Lin agreed.
"By the way, does Master Lin know how to refine the Beauty Pill?"
Lu Changan finally seemed to remember something and asked again.
"Zhu Yan Dan? The difficulty of refining is not high among second-level elixirs. Although I have only refined it twice before, I can guarantee the success rate of the elixir."
Lin Ye had a trace of surprise on his face and didn't ask any more questions.
The value of the Beauty Pill is not as high as the Foundation Establishment Pill, and it is not a Crystal Condensation Pill.
For a second-level high-grade alchemist, it was nothing.
"Okay, I'll bother Alchemist Lin with these three pills."
After discussing for a while, Lu Changan and Alchemist Lin Ye reached a preliminary agreement.
Not only that, Master Lin also promised that when refining the alchemy, Lu Changan could watch and answer the latter's doubts.
Lu Changan sighed with emotion. The alchemist who was once aloof and needed to be fawned over, now relies on others and has become considerate.
In addition to the transaction itself, Lin Ye also wanted to make good friends with Lu Changan and receive certain care in the future.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lu. I used to make alchemy for others, and it's my duty to keep my employer's secrets secret."
Alchemist Lin exchanged a few pleasantries, then said goodbye and left.
In fact, even if a little bit about Zhuyan Dan is leaked, there will be no problem, and it may even be beneficial.
Today is different from the past.
Lu Changan's current strength and identity are enough to protect "hot potatoes" such as foundation-building pills and level-breaking pills.
…
Lin Ye returned to Xiao Danfeng's guest room and fell into deep thought.
Back then, after Master Hua's death, he had some doubts about Lu Changan, but not much.
After testing, my doubts were basically dispelled.
A few days ago, he learned about the situation outside.
Fu Xuemei from Huanglong Mountain almost failed to form an elixir. The quality of the pill formation is far from the expectations of the Huanglong Mountain lineage, and may be lost to the public during the pill formation period.
"I heard from Ye Fei that Xiang Jinglong came to Wuqi Mountain to fight the autumn wind a few years ago."
"Master Hua Dan, Fu Xuemei, Xiang Jinglong...none of them met a good end."
Lin Ye had an idea in his mind and couldn't help but shudder.
Reason told him that he was probably thinking too much. Intuition gave him the illusion that he was close to the truth.
If it weren't for coincidence, what he learned about Lu Changan was probably just the tip of the iceberg.
Lin Ye quickly shook his head: No matter what the possibility is, just make the elixir yourself and don't ask any questions.
At least Lu Changan was not an enemy. He had faced a common enemy with him.
In the world of immortality opened in troubled times, there are not many monks who can provide help in times of need.
