Two days later.
At the end of the auction, the flow of people in Yunyan Fairy City was greatly reduced.
Xunxianfu Inn.
In the superior guest room in the private courtyard, Lu Changan set up temporary formations and isolation restrictions.
He closed his eyes and sat quietly, taking the second-grade quality life-extending pill that he had bought at a high price.
Suddenly, a mysterious energy of the cycle of time lingered around Lu Changan.
He seemed to be transformed into a towering ancient tree. Spring passed and autumn came, and the dead tree returned to spring. Life cycle, round after round.
This time the medicine's effect lasted longer than ever before.
"Extend your life by twenty-eight years!"
Lu Changan opened his deep eyes like ink, and his body exuded an aura of vicissitudes of time.
The state of mind has been settled, and the mana has also been slightly improved.
To be honest, the effect of the high-quality longevity pill exceeded Lu Changan's expectations.
A trace of surprise flashed across his face, and he thought:
"A normal monk can extend his life by more than ten years if he takes an ordinary second-level life-extending pill, and no more than fifteen years by using a high-quality one."
Because of the special nature of Evergreen Gong, Lu Changan's effect is doubled and it can be superimposed to extend his life, but the efficacy will attenuate.
"So, if I take the high-quality second-level life-extending pill, its efficacy will be calculated from scratch?"
Lu Changan came to a preliminary conclusion.
Ordinary monks, to achieve this effect, must take a higher-grade third-level life-extending pill, or a corresponding level of life-extending spiritual object.
Lu Changan then thought about it. The high-quality life-extending pill was equivalent to a half-level improvement.
Ordinary monks can superimpose the life-extending effect to a certain extent, let alone yourself.
"Life span is four hundred and ninety-seven years."
This is the sixth second-level longevity pill that Lu Changan has taken.
He estimated that if he took another ordinary second-level life-extending pill, his lifespan would exceed five hundred years.
"The effect of the medicine is indeed good! Unfortunately, high-quality life-extending pills are too difficult to find, and they have strict requirements on materials and alchemists."
Lu Changan knows the taste of food, and even feels addicted.
A long life, for him, has many benefits.
It’s about mana strength. You have more time to plan for the big realm, and you don’t have to risk your life and death to compete for resources.
Moreover, the Evergreen Secret Technique consumes life span, which can be used to cultivate blackwood gourd vines and promote the production of precious medicinal materials.
In the world of immortality, there should not be too many powerful means of consuming life span.
For example, the art of divination and calculation.
In this way, spying on the secrets of heaven and using powerful divination secrets can easily shorten your life.
In the second life, Lu Changan was only able to learn a superficial knowledge of the subject. Apart from not having so much energy, he also had concerns in this regard.
The effect of the high-quality longevity pill gave Lu Changan more expectations and plans for the future.
…
Lu Changan waited for another three days in Yunyan Fairy City and finally received news from the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce.
Eight days have passed since the agreement that day, but Master Hanyu has not overdue.
Lu Changan went to the headquarters of the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce alone.
This time, he was received not only by Master Han Yu, but also by another Master Fake Dan from the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce.
The latter is a white-haired old man with only more than twenty years left in his life. He is the former president of the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce.
Lu Changan guessed that Master Hanyu was concerned about the strength and identity of "Master Xiang" and found a helper.
"Master Xiang, this is the 'Sha Yuan Dan' that our Chamber of Commerce sent to Yunyan Fairy City as a rush."
Han Yuzhen, who was wearing a silver-haired snow robe, had a cold voice, touched the sleeves of her skirt, and turned out a suet bottle with her jade hands.
Opening the bottle cap, a gray-white elixir surrounded by demonic smoke came into Lu Changan's field of vision.
After Lu Changan probed with his spiritual consciousness, he nodded slightly.
The rock rat in the spiritual pet bag became restless.
"If there is no problem with Mr. Xiang, we will make the deal as agreed before."
"good."
Lu Changan took out the dark purple third-level demon pill.
The two trading items, under the control of mana, floated towards each other simultaneously.
There was no accident. Lu Changan successfully obtained the Evil Spirit Pill with a smile on his face and a certain heart.
This transaction is so stable, thanks to the strong strength and potential identity he created.
If it is a foundation-building period without background, the risk of trading at this level may be quite high.
Yuansha Pill can help monsters advance to the third level, and it can also be regarded as a strategic resource controlled by the major forces in the world of immortality.
"Xiang Zhenren is indeed a man of his word! The Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce is willing to make you a friend."
Master Hanyu, who had received the third-level demon elixir, confirmed that it was correct. He breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face that looked like melting winter snow.
Although Lu Changan's demon elixir was downgraded to the third-level low-grade, it had a rare thunder attribute, and the demon elixir's power was pure.
Used to refine Shayuan Dan, which slightly increases the success rate and quality.
If you meet a suitable true elixir cultivator, you may have the opportunity to sell it at a high price.
Therefore, the Xuehu Chamber of Commerce still made a profit from this transaction.
Lu Changan knew this very well. But this belongs to the reasonable profit margin that the other party should have.
Large chambers of commerce have more channels and connections, including some master craftsmen. This is an advantage that individual monks cannot match.
"Thanks to Fairy Hanyu!"
Lu Changan heard the implication of the other party's words.
"It's a pity that Xiang is not a monk in the surrounding area. I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities to make friends in the future."
If there is no demand for such high-end transactions, Lu Changan does not want to act ostentatiously outside as Xiang Zhenren.
At present, the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce only suspects that he is Xiang Zhenren, but is not completely sure.
At the auction, the other monks didn't even know his last name.
…
After the transaction, the three of them sat down and chatted for a while.
"Master Xiang trades evil spirit pills, but prepares pills for spiritual pets?"
The white-haired old man next to Master Hanyu stroked his beard and smiled.
Lu Changan nodded: "That's right."
"Monsters attacking to form pills are different from monks like us. Has Master Xiang found a suitable place to form pills?"
"This matter has not yet been determined."
Lu Changan hesitated slightly and shook his head.
For a foundation-building monk to form an elixir, he needs a third-level spiritual vein dojo.
There are differences between monsters and humans. More than half of their strength is related to their physical bloodline, and their demand for spiritual dojos is slightly lower.
Generally speaking, the quasi-third-level spiritual pulse dojo is adequate.
If combined with the "Demon Array" and investing in spirit stones and corresponding treasure materials, it would be a more suitable environment.
In this way, one can get close to the spiritual veins containing demonic qualities in the Black Mist Mountains.
In contrast, for human monks to attack pill formation, the environment of third-level spiritual veins is indispensable, unless there are heavy treasures or special heaven and earth spiritual objects to supplement them.
In the world of Jing Kingdom's immortal cultivation, foundation-building monks need to borrow the third-level spiritual veins of the major immortal cities in the Merchant Alliance to attack the core formation.
This requires application, endorsement of the identity of the Chamber of Commerce, and payment of spiritual stones.
After all, hitting the third level requires a huge amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and has an impact on the fairy city's protective formation. If placed anywhere in the world of cultivating immortals, it must at least have the tacit approval of the immortal city management forces.
This is also the reason why Lu Changan is willing to stay in the Xia family.
With the endorsement of Wufu Chamber of Commerce, when he wants to form an elixir, as a merchant alliance monk who has been rooted in Jing Kingdom for many years, it will be easier to pass the review.
"Our Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce is engaged in the business of monster materials, and we have joined forces with another chamber of commerce to control a secret place in the Black Mist Mountains. It is a special spiritual place suitable for monsters to attack and form pills, and there is even a slight gain."
Master Hanyu and the white-haired old man looked at each other and said.
When Lu Changan heard this, his heart moved and he continued to listen.
"This special spiritual place is generally not open to other chambers of commerce or individual monks. Unless you have a close relationship with our two major chambers of commerce and are willing to pay a certain price."
"What's the price?"
Lu Changan asked bluntly.
Master Hanyu said: "It can be a rare spiritual object, or a promise..."
"Well, Xiang will think about it after he returns."
Lu Changan understood that the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce valued his strength and background, and that this transaction was trustworthy, which was why this happened.
The special spiritual place in the Black Mist Mountains is indeed more suitable for the Earth Rock Rat to condense pills, but it is not a necessary condition.
Lu Changan borrowed the Xia family's quasi-third-level spiritual veins, cooperated with the demon formation, and invested the corresponding treasure materials, and the earth rock rat could also attack the third level.
Of course, if the Xia clan knew the situation, they would definitely put forward conditions.
And after subsequent investigation, Lu Changan's true identity will most likely be exposed.
In the surrounding immortal world, Lu Changan was not an important figure or a wanted person in the sect. Under the premise that the Earth Rock Rat has successfully formed a pill, even if his original identity is exposed in the future, it will be nothing.
…
Returning to Xunxian Inn, Lu Changan thought for a moment.
"It will take many years for me to reach the ninth level of foundation building. I will first help the Earth Rock Rat form an elixir to ensure the false elixir. When I attack the elixir formation in the future, the Earth Rock Rat's cultivation and deterrence will be able to protect me from forming an elixir. .”
He had already made clear his idea of forming an elixir in Jing Kingdom.
After all, Lu Changan had no friends he once trusted to look after him in the realm of immortal cultivation in Jing Kingdom.
The Earth Rock Rat formed an elixir to protect him in the future.
At the critical moment of forming the elixir, the monk's energy is tied up and he is unable to fight, leaving him with a period of weakness.
When Fu Xuemei formed the elixir, she couldn't interfere in the fighting outside at all. She could only send out some talismans, talismans and other external objects to protect her.
Lu Changan also has a century-old relationship with the rock rat, and there are restrictions in the spiritual pet contract, so he doesn't worry about it betraying him.
Lu Changan's spiritual consciousness and physical body were powerful, and he also had the Nine-Seal Monument as his trump card.
Even if the Earth Rock Rat is promoted to the third level and achieves the true elixir, there is no huge gap in soul, and it will be difficult to devour the master and forcibly break away from the spiritual pet contract.
Before leaving Yunyan Fairy City, Lu Changan called Wang Feng over.
"Senior, what are your orders?"
Wang Feng bowed respectfully, not daring to express his dignity.
After the auction, Wang Feng learned that the old man in coir raincoat he received turned out to be a fake elixir master.
"I want to leave Yunyan Fairy City, and this is your reward."
Lu Changan waved his sleeves.
Twenty spiritual stones and a jade tube fell into Wang Feng's hands.
"Thank you, senior, for the reward."
Wang Feng was grateful and thanked him again.
He is not really acting. Now that he has become a low-level monk, he cannot move even without a spiritual stone.
Back then, he was hunted down by demon cultivators and later encountered robbery cultivators. His storage bag could not be brought back to the Jing Kingdom.
Wang Feng sent Lu Changan out of Xunxian Mansion.
After returning to his residence, he took out the jade tube given by Lu Changan.
"A prescription for recuperating the body?"
Wang Feng looked at the contents of the jade tube and was shocked.
The prescription recorded in the jade tube requires some precious medicinal materials to deal with the hidden diseases caused by his decline in cultivation and damage to his meridians and dantian.
Wang Feng was naturally terrified when his secrets were revealed.
"I'm afraid this senior is an expert! I wonder if he can see my true identity?"
Wang Feng had an intuition that he might have missed an opportunity to return to Liang Lihuo Palace.
The other party saw the problem with his identity, but did not feel embarrassed, which showed that there was no malice.
He quickly chased him out of the Xunxian Mansion Inn and had lost track of the old man in coir raincoat.
…
Lu Changan did not want to get involved with Prince Wang for the time being, even though he might be able to dig out secrets from him.
Mr. Wang has the background of a powerful elder in the Lihuo Palace. He is probably a major practitioner in the late stage of pill formation, which is at the same level as the peak of his previous life.
Therefore, Lu Changan not only did not face any difficulties before leaving, but also showed some kindness.
The healing prescription requires a lot of precious medicinal materials. If the prince has the ability to obtain spiritual stones, he may be able to restore his cultivation.
Two days later.
Lu Changan, who was far away from Yunyan Fairy City, restored the original temperament of "Wu Fan" alchemist.
Lu Changan, who returned home with a full load, flew to the Xia family in Qingshawan.
The next day, we were still half an hour away from Qingshawan.
Lu Changan flew over the open Changhong River.
Qingshawan is a branch of the Changhong River, one of the three major rivers in Jingguo.
"Um?"
Lu Changan felt relaxed and happy, and when he was admiring the river scenery, he suddenly sensed the movement of the fighting.
Looking closely, he saw two foundation-building monks in gray robes, chasing a tall female cultivator in blue clothes.
"Fellow Taoist, help me! I am 'Xia Shenglan', a monk born in Qingshawan..."
The girl in Lan Shang is in the middle stage of foundation cultivation. She has an average appearance, dignified and beautiful. At this moment, he was in a miserable state, his dress was stained with blood, his face was pale, and he was dripping with cold sweat.
This woman had obviously gone through a fight, was seriously injured, and had lost her magic power.
Whoosh!
With a wide view of the Changhong River, Xia Shenglan discovered that Lu Changan was flying to Qingsha Bay. As if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, he unleashed his secret technique and flew towards this direction.
"Fellow Taoist, please don't meddle in other people's business!"
The two gray-robed monks were in the middle stage of foundation building and the late stage of foundation building.
The speaker is a lean young man in the middle stage of foundation building. He controls a top-quality magic weapon called a flag flag, and rolls up a green cloud of clouds, accompanied by sharp wind blades, chasing down Xia Shenglan, a female cultivator in blue clothes.
"Are you... Master Wu?"
Xia Shenglan flew closer and looked at the middle-aged man with a round face and a yellow beard, and unexpectedly guessed Lu Changan's identity.
The two have never met in the clan.
Lu Changan had some guesses about her identity. He seemed to have heard Xia Wenyue mention it during their previous chat.
"As an external monk of the Xia Clan, how could Wu not save someone even if he was near the clan's territory?"
Lu Changan took his time and presented a silver shield, a top-quality magic weapon.
Buzz!
The silver shield flew out, its surface shimmering with crystal light, and expanded to several feet long and wide in the wind, covering Xia Shenglan's arrival to meet Lu Changan.
There were only two people who were in the foundation building stage. Although there was one in the late stage of foundation building, Lu Changan didn't take it to heart.
Anyway, it's better to rescue him if he's near the tribe's territory and sell him to the Xia tribe.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Wu, you were forced to sign a spiritual contract with the Xia Clan back then, and your only job was to make alchemy. Why would you risk your life for such a family?"
A loud male voice, with a hint of disdain, came from another strong man in the late stage of foundation building.
This person's cultivation has actually reached the peak of foundation building.
"Haha, it turns out to be fellow Taoist Fang Zhong."
Lu Changan glanced at the burly man and noticed the evil aura on his body. Then he saw through the other man's disguise and couldn't help but laugh.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, we met on the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce's Spirit Ship back then. Step aside and Fang will spare your life."
Fang Zhong did not deny his identity, and his voice and expression were stern.
Na Xia Shenglan was seriously injured, her magic weapon was damaged, and her body was overdrawn due to the secret technique.
If Lu Changan didn't know what to do, Fang Zhong was confident that he could kill him together before the reinforcements from the Xia tribe in Qingshawan arrived.
Update on the 19th at noon or afternoon.
