Little Turtle Peak Secret Room.
With a sound of "Peng", the palm with flowing crystal texture was slapped on the wall, which was enough to withstand several rounds of attacks in the later stages of foundation building. The light flashed around and suddenly cracked.
On the wall made of second-grade ore, there were palm prints that were several inches deep.
Lu Changan's eyes were like torches, and his aura felt oppressive, making him even more powerful than the real person.
When the forbidden light was restored, he punched again in the air, creating a cloud-like explosion several feet away.
squeak!
The rock rat hid in the corner, shivering, not daring to look directly into his owner's eyes.
Lu Changan restrained his overwhelming energy and blood, and gave up the idea of testing the rock rat.
"The seventh level of "Yunsha Body Refining Technique", this body refining technique has finally reached its highest level!"
Lu Changan couldn't hide the joy in his heart.
A quasi-third-level body training attainment is definitely rare in the entire Liang Kingdom.
Back then, He Yuanwu had not cultivated to this level.
Lu Changan's hard power has produced a qualitative leap!
The concurrent body training technique is not a pure ancient body training. Although it cannot beat the complete fake elixir master, it is not far behind.
Especially in terms of self-protection, it has been greatly improved.
Excluding treasure talismans and other trump cards, the threat to him from False Dan Zhenren is already very small.
"If the magic power is cultivated to the late stage of foundation building, and complements the body refining technique, it can intimidate anyone in the Liang Kingdom, and it will have a lot of potential in the world."
After a brief moment of excitement, Lu Changan calmed down.
Knowing that the world is vast, the more you understand your own insignificance.
Especially, after learning about Baisu Soul Gu's memory fragments about the Zhongzhou cultivation world.
"In the next few years, I only need to cultivate step by step until the late stage of foundation building."
Lu Changan made up his mind.
In addition, his puppetry skills reached the top level of the second level two years ago.
In the next few years, you can try to understand higher levels.
The third level puppet master is unrealistic.
Refining a quasi-third-level puppet is not a luxury in the later stages of foundation building.
At the beginning, he rescued Fu Xuemei, and the reward he received from Zhenren Huanglong included a third-level puppet inheritance.
This saved Lu Changan trouble.
…
"Master, Fairy Master is back."
A few days later, Lu Changan came out of customs, and the maid Lan Rou came over to report immediately.
A few days ago, Shi Manrong went to Lihuo Palace to attend the wedding of Song Wenshu and Shen Bixin.
In Lihuo Palace there is the True Lord Yuanying, a great monk in the late stage of elixir formation, including the existence of the Immortal Golden elixir.
Lu Changan didn't want to come to the scene in person, so he found an excuse to refuse and asked Shi Manrong to give him a generous gift.
"You go to Xiaopan Peak and ask Fairy Master to come to your house to talk."
Lu Changan ordered.
After a while, Lan Rou came back from Xiaopanfeng and hesitantly said:
"Back to my lord, Fairy Master said that the journey is long and I am exhausted both physically and mentally. I have no interest in these days."
"Well, let's wait for another day."
Lu Changan was thoughtful and noticed Shi Manrong's sense of alienation.
A few years ago, Shi Manrong would almost never refuse Lu Changan's invitation.
Since pretending to be in love with Zhou Qingxuan, their relationship has become abnormal, and Shi Xianzi has become slightly alienated from him.
Of course, the overall friendship is still there, but it's just not as frank and close as in the past.
Lu Changan didn't care much about this.
A romantic relationship where each takes what he wants is destined to not last long.
Even among the majority of Taoist cultivators in this world, how many of them can be unswerving and unchanging?
…
A few days later.
Lu Changan personally visited Xiaopanfeng.
This time, Shi Manrong did not refuse.
"Fellow Daoist Lu has been busy with everything in the past two years, but he still has time to visit me in person?"
Shi Xianzi, dressed in a simple and elegant moon skirt, with her hair pulled high into a bun, looked dignified and quiet, and said with a soft smile.
"Fairy Master, your words are serious."
Lu Changan remained calm and followed him into Xiaopanfeng's cave.
Fairy Shi did not lose his etiquette, behaved gracefully, and personally brewed a pot of spiritual tea for Lu Changan.
Lu Changan came to visit and naturally had something to discuss.
After chatting for a while, the topic turned to the wedding of Song Wenshu and Shen Bixin.
"Fellow Daoist Song and Miss Shen got married in Lihuo Palace. It was a lively and festive ceremony with many guests, including more than a dozen real guests."
"Daoyou Song and his wife received a congratulatory gift from fellow Daoist Lu and asked me to turn to metabolism."
"By the way, Jiang Yechen also went to the wedding and got very drunk."
"Jiang Yechen?"
Lu Changan looked surprised.
Jiang Yechen was very brave for daring to come to the wedding.
But as long as he doesn't cause trouble, Lihuo Palace won't do anything to him.
In any case, Jiang Yechen and Shen Bixin fell in love first, and Song Wenshu was the third one later.
If Jiang Yechen had an accident afterwards, Song Wenshu would be highly suspicious.
"Well, I have talked with Daoyou Jiang. With his past temperament, it is not easy for him to maintain restraint at the wedding."
Shi Manrong couldn't help but recall Jiang Yechen's feminine face with bloodshot eyes.
"When Master Shixian came back from Lihuo Palace this time, has he heard any news about the battlefield in Feng Kingdom?"
Lu Changan mentioned issues of concern.
As early as a year ago, the monks from the Liang Kingdom sect who went on an expedition gradually withdrew back to their homeland.
A monk who has not returned will basically never come back.
"There is a temporary ceasefire on the Fengguo battlefield."
Shi Xianzi stated the information he had learned.
"According to inaccurate information, Feng State, Yan State, and Chen State sent representatives to start negotiations..."
"Armistice negotiations?"
Lu Changan looked surprised.
The war in the Immortal Realm of Feng Kingdom lasted for more than twenty years, but in the end there was no winner.
Feng Kingdom, as the strongest immortal cultivating country in the surrounding area, has a long heritage and is full of resilience.
There are three Nascent Soul-level sects alone.
If the Yan State hadn't produced an unparalleled genius like Chu Tianfeng and teamed up with the Chen State to catch them off guard in the early stages, the resistance they would have faced would have been even greater.
Lu Changan's surprise was more of his admiration for Tianzhilou.
As early as three years ago, Tianzhilou made relevant predictions about the situation on the Fengguo battlefield. It is said that there may be a turn for the better in the future and does not rule out the possibility of negotiation.
Tianzhilou also speculated that in the further future, Liang Guo may fall into war.
This has something to do with the Eastern Expansion of the Six Demonic Sects.
The news brought back by Shi Manrong gave Lu Changan a clearer plan for the future.
…
Confirming the news about the battlefield in neighboring countries was only one of the purposes of Lu Changan's meeting with Shi Xianzi.
"Has Master Shixianzi made a decision about that matter?"
Lu Changan suddenly switched to voice transmission.
Shi Manrong understood this and set up isolation restrictions around the two of them.
"It will take about the next two years for me to reach the peak of foundation building. In order to have the opportunity to form a pill, that ancient ruins must be explored in the next few years."
Shi Manrong expressed his decision.
"However, I have not recovered the key memory of that ancient ruins. I have only delineated a larger area in the Black Mist Mountains."
"Does Jiang Yechen agree to take action to help Master Fairy repair her memory?"
"There is no agreement."
Shi Manrong shook his head and sighed softly.
"Repairing my sea of consciousness memory will destroy the spirituality of an important treasure in Jiang Yechen's body."
"Back then, I failed to bring Daoyou Jiang and Miss Shen back together. Therefore, Daoyou Jiang was unwilling to do anything for free, and the cost of doing so was quite high."
"Oh? What conditions did Jiang Yechen propose?"
Lu Changan was very interested.
"This man is very open-minded. He wants the main elixir-forming medicine, or two rare auxiliary medicines, or a good-quality elixir-forming spiritual object."
Shi Manrong pursed her plump lips and raised her beautiful eyebrows.
"Opportunity to form a pill?"
Lu Changan laughed dumbly, "Perhaps Fellow Daoist Jiang was unhappy with what happened back then, and thought that Fairy Master was not dedicated enough as a 'matchmaker'."
"Making fun of me again! Fellow Daoist Lu has some ideas."
Shi Xianzi was not angry and rolled her eyes at him.
"Jiang Yechen opened such a big mouth because he didn't want to lose the spirituality of the treasure he was carrying, and he didn't have the sincerity of the transaction."
Lu Changan deduced.
"We have two options."
"First, spend a lot of money to buy the elixir-forming things that Fellow Daoist Jiang needs, or use other methods to impress him."
Hearing this, Fairy Master's face remained calm.
Lu Changan smiled. At this stage, everyone needs elixir-forming things, so why would they want to give them to others?
"Second, use force directly to kill people and seize treasures."
Lu Changan said calmly.
Fairy Master's beautiful eyes flickered, and she glanced at him unexpectedly without saying a word.
Lu Changan suspected that Shi Xianzi might have had this idea.
For the opportunity to form an elixir, even a monk who has accumulated good deeds for hundreds of years may break the bottom line.
Once you form a true elixir, you will join the ranks of high-level monks and enjoy a life span of five to six hundred years.
For any foundation-building monk, it is an irresistible temptation.
"I have an uneasy feeling about attacking Fellow Daoist Jiang."
After a long time, Fairy Master sighed quietly.
"In the past few years, Fellow Daoist Jiang has quite a record. He once killed an evil cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment who was wanted by the sect. That evil cultivator was not inferior to the Night Fisherman in strength."
"Did Jiang Yechen grow up so quickly?"
Lu Changan thought to himself.
"Secondly, I am worried that even if I capture the treasure and use it with another person, I may not be sure to successfully restore my memory."
Shi Manrong expressed his concerns.
"Fairy Master has thought very carefully."
Lu Changan knew that some special treasures might have their owners recognized, or that they would require unique secret techniques.
At the same time, there is another situation that must be considered:
Jiang Yechen was forced into a desperate situation, and he was likely to destroy the treasure before he died to prevent the enemy from succeeding.
"It's better than this. Fairy Master will continue to think of ways to persuade fellow Daoist Jiang. Whether or not to take action will be decided after Lu tries to attack the later stage of foundation building in a few years."
Lu Changan made suggestions.
Shi Manrong nodded and agreed.
She has not yet reached the peak of the late stage of foundation building, so if she is more prepared, she can increase her chances of winning whether facing Jiang Yechen or ancient ruins.
After talking about business, Lu Changan suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at, Fellow Daoist Lu?"
"Ahem! Lu just felt that the 'conspiracy' just now was very interesting."
Lu Changan realized his gaffe.
The scene just now seemed like a pair of villain concubines plotting to kill a real protagonist.
According to Lu Changan's experience before time travel, eight or nine times out of ten, he will fail, or even lose the rice by stealing the chicken.
Shi Xianzi thought about it for a moment, and when she thought of some words, she couldn't help but feel angry.
"Friend Lu Dao, please respect yourself. The relationship between you and me is no longer what it used to be. Don't insult my innocence."
She spat softly, with a calm expression on her face, and invited Lu Changan out of the cave.
…
Three months later.
Little Turtle Peak, in the pool filled with lotus fragrance.
Lu Changan finished his routine practice and lay on the back of the huge black water turtle.
Zhizhi!
The Earth Rock Rat walked on the waves and handed the letter that had just been delivered into Lu Changan's hands.
In the past two years, with the Zhou family's beast pill qualifications, the Earth Rock Rat's cultivation speed has accelerated significantly.
The Xuan Shui Turtle also got a little light.
However, Xuanshui Turtle has a similar slowness to Lu Changan in terms of cultivation.
Investing a certain amount of resources into the Xuan Shui Turtle can steadily improve its cultivation.
If more resources are given, the effect will not be proportional. Once it exceeds a certain limit, there will be no cost-effectiveness.
In terms of age limit, Xuan Shui Turtle is only slightly better than Lu Changan.
If one invests ten times or a hundred times regardless of the cost, this turtle will be able to accelerate its growth.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao's preparation for the elixir formation was not going well..."
Lu Changan looked at the contents of the letter and murmured.
Although the letter sent by Zhao Siyao did not make any request, it implicitly expressed his difficulties.
In these years, Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan, who had returned from the battlefield, were preparing to form pills.
Both of them have made meritorious deeds on the battlefield, and once worked together to kill the fake Dan real person.
However, in terms of accumulation of military exploits, Zhao Siyao is far inferior to Zhang Tieshan.
The first batch of battlefields Zhang Tieshan went to had great achievements and rich accumulation, and his gains far exceeded those of Zhao Siyao.
Even before going to the battlefield, Lu Changan knew that Zhang Tieshan had a rich family background.
Coupled with his outstanding performance on the battlefield and being appreciated by the upper-level elders, Zhang Tieshan was almost certain to obtain a Crystal Condensation Pill in Jinyun Valley.
Zhao Siyao is far behind Zhang Tieshan in terms of prestige, strength, and military exploits.
Even if Zhao Siyao reaches the peak of the later stage of Foundation Establishment, within the sect, he will not be able to wait in line for the Crystal Condensation Pill for ten years, and this does not count the pill-forming spiritual objects.
When you reach the age of one hundred and thirty, every year you delay, the probability of forming a core will decrease slightly.
Over the age of one hundred and fifty, the success rate drops significantly.
…
"It has taken a hundred years to reach this point, and the qualifications to prepare for elixir formation are already beyond 99% of monks."
Lu Changan's eyes were deep, as if he had traveled through time.
Lin Yi, Li Erqing, Mu Xiuyun, Mu Maode... old friends who met a hundred years ago fell behind on the way.
Some have died or passed away, and some have stalled in their cultivation and lost their potential.
In the eyes of the outside world, at Lu Changan's age, he has not yet reached the late stage of foundation building, and has no chance of forming a core.
Compared with Zhao Siyao or Zhang Tieshan, he is decades behind in cultivation progress.
However, no one knows that Lu Changan has basically locked up a spot for true elixirs in this life.
What he currently wants is to make the quality of the elixir as high as possible and increase the probability of having a baby in this life.
After a long time, Lu Changan recovered his thoughts.
He waved, and the Earth Rock Rat sent the letter and pen and ink to the Xuan Shui Turtle's back.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, every monk who has reached this point has gone through many difficulties and obstacles, and there is no fuel-saving lamp."
"Three points depends on the person, and seven points depends on the destiny. I can't help you much with this level of pill condensation."
Soon, Lu Changan wrote a reply.
