Liang State, the southeastern border land.
Between a collapsed mountain peak, the dust in the sky has not yet fallen to the ground.
A battle of pill formation has just ended.
Zhang Tieshan coughed up blood from the corner of his mouth and used his magic power to stabilize his weak and shaking body.
Looking at the corpse of the Zhendan monk not far away, his eyes were filled with joy.
"Yes, true alchemy cultivators who are at their peak in fake elixir cultivation are rare even in the ancient and prosperous world of immortal cultivation in Zhongzhou."
A milky voice sounded in my mind, but it was pretending to be old.
"Without the help of the seniors, it would be difficult for the juniors to do this."
Zhang Tieshan said modestly, stepping forward to collect the trophies from the Feng Kingdom’s True Pill cultivators.
Since he traded the Five Elements Soil from Lu Changan three years ago, the repair progress of the spiritual treasure fragments on his body has improved and more spirituality has been restored.
Although it can only exert a small amount of magical power and the duration is short, it is enough to suppress ordinary magic weapons.
"When are you going to use the elixir to reshape it?"
"This junior was on a mission this time and was chased by the true elixir monks of the Feng Kingdom. He just happened to take a break from the sect and the battlefield for a while. After recovering from his injuries, he went to the 'Wangyue Immortal City' to transform the elixir into mortal liquid and form an elixir again."
Zhang Tieshan took two pills and replied.
"Well, with the help of this weapon spirit, you can make the elixir without any worries. If you transfer a little spirit treasure energy, it can even improve the quality of your elixir."
"Thank you for the gift, senior." Zhang Tieshan said happily.
"If you can help this weapon spirit find other fragments as soon as possible and devour other spiritual fragments, the benefits are not worth mentioning."
The sound of milky milk.
"By the way, the remaining small portion of the Five Elements Spiritual Soil can be used when you form the elixir."
"Five elements soil?" Zhang Tieshan asked doubtfully.
"The Five Elements Soil is known as the universal source of soil and can be used as a spiritual object to form elixirs. Not only can it improve the quality of elixirs, it can also increase the stability of the elixir condensation process and reduce risks."
"It's a pity that your technique is not of earth attribute, and as a pill-forming spiritual object, it cannot exert its maximum effect."
…
Qiufeng Island, the basement below the mansion.
Lu Changan took out two jars of Five Elements Earth, one of which was only half full.
The Earth Rock Rat's eyes were so intense that he almost drooled as he stared at the two jars of Five Elements Earth in his master's hands.
"The Five Elements of Earth, the legendary spiritual creature of heaven and earth, the source of universal earth. The Earth Rock Rat is also an earth element rat demon..."
Lu Changan quickly understood.
In his previous life, he had only seen a few descriptions of the Five Elements Spiritual Soil in ancient books, and was not very clear about its full uses.
At present, Lu Changan can only confirm that the Five Elements of Earth can be used as a pill-forming spiritual object against earth-type monsters, or for those who use earth-type techniques.
As for whether it can be used as a universal elixir-forming spiritual object, it has not yet been determined.
"If Five Elements Earth can be used as a universal elixir-forming spiritual object, then the transaction with Zhang Tieshan did not take any advantage at all..."
Lu Changan thought deeply.
Fortunately, in his original transaction with Zhang Tieshan, he strictly controlled the weight.
If the superior secret method of elixir formation could significantly improve the quality of Lu Changan's final elixir, it would be worth the money.
"Well, this half jar of Five Elements Soil is enough for you, right?"
Lu Changan said with a smile.
Zhizhi!
The ground rock rat was like a chicken pecking at rice, eagerly stretching out its paws, ready to take the half jar of Five Elements Soil.
Lu Changan suddenly thought of something and took back the Five Elements Earth.
squeak?
The rock rat was puzzled and looked at its master eagerly.
"Come with me!"
Lu Changan opened the underground tunnel and headed to the bottom of the deep pool at the other end.
In the deep pool, there is a stone house covered by a formation and isolated from the water flow.
In the stone house, a large porcelain jar planted with black wood gourds and vines is filled with soil of five colors.
There is a large hole at the bottom of the porcelain jar, allowing the five elements soil in the jar to come into contact with the soil at the bottom of the lake and connect with the "earth air".
The Xuanshui Turtle is using the cloud and rain technique to water the Xuanmu Gourd Vine.
The turtle looked focused and happy, and didn't even pay attention to Lu Changan and the rock rat who came in.
Xuan Shui Turtle has a lazy temperament, but is very active in watering Xuan Mu Gourd Vine.
Such abnormal behavior made Lu Changan feel that this turtle could get some hidden benefits through this behavior.
However, he did not notice any changes in the Xuan Shui Turtle.
Lu Changan also often nourished himself with Evergreen mana, but he didn't feel any benefit.
Poof!
Under Xuan Shui Turtle's dissatisfied call, Lu Changan dug a small portion of the Five Elements soil near the gourd vine.
The Earth Rock Rat's eyes widened, and the Black Water Turtle immediately calmed down.
"Is it enough?"
Lu Changan handed the small portion of the Five Elements soil he dug out to the Earth Rock Rat.
Lu Changan often nourishes the black wood gourd vine and finds that the Five Elements soil here seems to be more spiritual and has an indescribable feeling.
The Five Elements soil stored alone has poorer spirituality.
squeak!
The Earth Rock Rat felt a little aggrieved and took over the obviously reduced amount of Five Elements Earth.
After communication, Lu Changan confirmed that the Five Elements Earth was completely sufficient.
The reason why the Earth Rock Rat wants more is that, in addition to being a pill-forming spiritual object, the Five Elements of Earth is of great benefit to the earth-type monsters themselves.
…
"A mere rat demon gets two excellent pill-forming spiritual objects. Even the true disciples of Lihuo Palace probably don't get this kind of treatment."
Lu Changan, who returned to the mansion, couldn't help but sigh, almost jealous of the treatment of the rock rat.
You must know that his master only has one excellent elixir-forming spiritual object.
The Five Elements of Earth, as a spiritual creature that forms an elixir, may not be applicable to him.
Even if it could be used, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as suitable as the Earth Rock Rat's attributes.
Fortunately, Mr. Lu had the method of converting elixirs, so he didn't covet the opportunity of Earth Rock Rat.
The method of converting pills is a human secret method and is not suitable for monsters unless it is improved.
In addition, when Lu Changan originally traded with Zhang Tieshan, both parties made an oath of inner demons.
Lu Changan cannot pass this secret method of alchemy to others at will.
"With the blessing of two superior elixir-forming objects, Earth Rock Rat has great hope of achieving a true elixir. The place for elixir-forming is probably inappropriate for the Xia Clan in Qingshawan."
Lu Changan's plan needs to be adjusted.
It is a rare opportunity for a foundation-building monk, even if he is in the late stage of foundation-building, to have a false elixir-level spiritual pet.
However, this is not shocking.
Zhou Qingxuan of the Zhou family, who controlled beasts, had mastered nearly third-level monsters during the foundation building stage.
However, it is a bit exaggerated that a foundation-building monk has a true elixir-level spiritual pet.
If this situation occurs.
In one leap, Lu Changan will be in the sight of the entire Jing Kingdom's high-level immortal cultivators, and his reputation will even spread to surrounding immortal cultivators.
Unless you have a big background, you can be calm and composed.
Previously, Lu Changan had planned to let the Earth Rock Rat form pills in Qingshawan, taking this small possibility into consideration.
Once it happened, he would have to run away immediately with the rock rat and find another dojo to practice.
Moreover, the Jingguo Chamber of Commerce will focus on investigating his information, and Lu Changan's identity will most likely be exposed.
"Unfortunately, it is difficult to conceal the core-forming atmosphere, and ordinary third-level formations cannot do it."
Lu Changan had a headache.
When a monk or a monster forms an elixir, the quality of the elixir can be roughly judged through the weather of heaven and earth.
At least, Lu Changan had no means of concealment in his previous life.
Only people at the level above Nascent Soul True Lord, or a master formation master, have the ability in this area.
"It seems that we can only cooperate with the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce. That special spiritual place is more suitable for the use of monsters. The important thing is that the geographical location is remote, and the weather of forming pills will not attract too much attention..."
The plan changed, and Lu Changan had to make more adequate preparations.
…
The underground of Qiufeng Island Mansion.
The Earth Rock Rat who obtained the Five Elements Earth began to retreat again.
The earth rock rat can increase its own foundation by absorbing the earth essence in the five elements of soil.
In the basement, Lu Changan took out a semi-finished heavy puppet and studied it with concentration.
In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
Lu Changan finally achieved a breakthrough in his puppet skills and refined a quasi-third-level puppet.
"With this puppet here, even if the true elixir comes in person at the early stage, it will still be able to resist it head-on."
Lu Changan looked at the armored puppet holding a heavy shield in front of him.
The creation of puppets is not as detailed as magic weapons and magic weapons, and the materials are basically up to standard if they are strong enough.
The puppet master does not need to understand the core skills of the weapon refiner. As long as you know how to forge and process materials, the more core knowledge focuses on mechanism construction and the puppet control technique of the soul path.
Of course, for certain high-end required components, the puppet master can ask the weapon refiner to do it for him.
Lu Changan put away the quasi-third-level heavy-armored puppet.
After a while, the rock rat appeared and followed its owner to the deep pool again.
Because he was going on a long journey, Lu Changan took away the Xuanmu Gourd and Vine from the stone house at the bottom of the pond, and the Xuanshui Turtle also accompanied him.
"You two are staying on Qiufeng Island. I have been refining the commonly used second-level elixir for several months in advance."
Lu Changan called two medicine boys, Xia Mingcheng and Xia Wenyue.
Xia Mingcheng is a serious medicine boy and a first-level alchemist with good talent.
Xia Wenyue prefers pharmacological medicine, and has the dual identity of medicine boy and maid on Qiufeng Island.
"Yes, Master Wu."
The two medicine boys bowed and retreated after Lu Changan explained.
…
Lu Changan flew to the center of Qingshawan to meet and say hello to the young master Xia Mingqu.
Since rescuing Xia Shenglan, the Xia clan has grown more trustful in Lu Changan.
This time he proposed to go out, but Xia Mingqu did not dissuade him in any way.
Half an hour later.
Lu Changan left Master Xia's training dojo with a strange look on his face.
When they met this time, Xia Mingqu tested Lu Changan's feelings for Xia Shenglan with words.
The Xia clan actually wanted to bring Lu Changan and Xia Shenglan together.
"It seems that the relationship between Xia Shenglan and her husband from the Xin tribe is in name only."
"Xia Shenglan has not returned to the Xin Clan yet..."
Lu Changan realized that the relationship between the two strongest clans in the Wufu Chamber of Commerce was about to reach a freezing point and they might break up at any time.
This is essentially an uneven distribution of interests and power.
Decades ago, the Xia clan was the dominant one in the Wufu Chamber of Commerce, and the position of president was always controlled by the Xia clan.
But ten years ago, the Xin family also gave birth to a fake elixir master, who was younger than Xia Hongyu, the leader of the Xia family.
The Xia clan has already ceded some of its power and interests, but the Xin family is still dissatisfied and does not agree with the former's strategic concept of managing the chamber of commerce.
If Xia Shenglan continues to stay in the Xin tribe, she will be isolated as never before and will be severely guarded by the tribe.
…
One month later.
In the northern part of Jing Kingdom, in the branches of the Black Mist Mountains.
A steel fortress is placed in the valley basin and covered by a third-order formation.
In the side hall of the Iron Fortress, two monks, a man and a woman, were sitting.
"Master Xiang, I've kept you waiting for a long time."
Han Yu, a real person with silver hair and snow robe, skin like gelatin and ice-like temperament, apologized to Lu Changan.
"It doesn't matter, this spiritual pulse dojo is not unique to your Chamber of Commerce after all."
Lu Changan pretended to be an old man named Xiang in coir raincoat clothes and said in a calm tone.
More than half a month ago, Lu Changan contacted Master Hanyu of the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce and prepared to borrow the chamber's special demonizing spiritual veins in the Black Mist Mountains.
Master Hanyu readily agreed, but also put forward corresponding conditions.
In addition to paying for the wear and tear of the borrowed venue, Lu Changan also owed the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce a favor.
The Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce only needs a verbal commitment.
Lu Changan naturally agreed.
When I first arrived at this secret base, another chamber of commerce jointly owned with the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce had a spiritual pet attacking the third level.
"The formation and practice room are ready, please move in."
Master Hanyu took out a jade pendant, received the message, and said to Lu Changan.
The two walked side by side and arrived at a training hall in the center of the Steel Fortress.
This training hall is equipped with spirit gathering arrays and demon evil arrays. The spiritual pressure is almost comparable to the third level spiritual veins, which is very suitable for monsters to attack the third level.
"What is the name of this fellow Taoist? What kind of monster is this that is preparing to attack the third level?"
A burly man wearing a tiger skin cloak stood in front of the training hall and asked calmly.
Master Hanyu winked at Lu Changan.
"It turns out to be Master Hu Xiao from the Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce."
Lu Changan heard Master Hanyu mention that this person is the guardian of the Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce here.
After arriving at this dojo with special spiritual veins, Lu Changan realized that although the Snow Demon Chamber of Commerce and the Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce jointly controlled this place, they had less say than the latter.
This is because the Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce is stronger and is ranked number one in the Jing Kingdom in terms of beast control.
The advantage of the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce is that they discovered this spiritual vein dojo first, but later the news leaked out, so they had no choice but to develop it together with the Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce.
"I am a little-known person. I am a casual cultivator who has formed a fake elixir in a small place. I have not yet taken a Taoist name. This time, it is an earth-type monster that attacks the third level."
Lu Changan didn't reveal much useful information.
Beforehand, he had communicated with Master Han Yu that this time the spiritual pet would form a pill and personal information would be kept highly confidential.
Master Huxiao snorted coldly and opened the training hall without asking too much.
The Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce is also a large chamber of commerce in the merchant alliance. It controls half of the quotas here, so he has no reason to stop it.
…
"Huxiao Zhenren's former quasi-third-level tiger demon died in battle. Later, he cultivated the descendants of that tiger demon. He took Sha Yuan Dan a month ago and combined it with an ordinary pill-forming spiritual object to condense the elixir. As a result, the tiger demon was promoted to the next level. It failed. The power of the evil evil pill was too strong, and it suffered backlash, causing the cultivation level to drop..."
Entering the training hall, Master Hanyu explained.
This is also the reason why Master Huxiao is in a bad mood.
"Understandable."
Lu Changan nodded, and then learned from Master Han Yu how to use this training hall.
"This formation order can control the formation restrictions in the training hall and affect the amount of spiritual pressure..."
Master Han Yu said a few words and exited the training hall.
She was also curious about what Lu Changan's spiritual pet was to attack the third level, and what kind of elixir-forming spiritual creature he had prepared.
Unfortunately, Lu Changan kept a very strict tone and did not disclose key information.
Lu Changan was worried about the formation in the hall, so he set up several new restrictions.
Insulating materials made of shadow stones were even placed near the stone bed for cultivation to prevent the spiritual consciousness of real people from outside from being detected.
Everything is ready.
The Earth Rock Rat emerged from the spiritual pet bag and sat down on the stone bed in the training hall.
squeak!
The rock rat glanced at its master, closed his eyes with peace of mind, and transferred the blood and demonic power in his body.
Lu Changan sat a few feet away behind him, personally protecting the law.
Half a day later, the rock rat entered the state smoothly, and his energy and spirit increased.
In the early stages of pill condensation, there is no risk.
Lu Changan's gaze looked far northeast to the Black Mist Mountains.
Follow that direction.
His gaze seemed to pass through many spaces, leaping across the land of Jing Kingdom, passing through the Zhou Family of the Royal Beast and Wu Qi Mountain.
Moving further north, we finally arrived at the Qingming Secret Realm.
"One hundred and forty-six years old. The last time the Qingming Secret Realm was opened was exactly fifty years ago."
