Lu Changan thought it was the real elixir passing by.
Soon, the true elixir-level mana fluctuation fell from the Jiugang Heaven and headed straight for Xuemei Mountain.
As the target approached, Lu Changan noticed the familiar aura of an old friend.
"Is it him? Jin Yungu's reaction is quite quick."
Lu Changan was not surprised.
The middle- and lower-class monks in Liang State either had delays in hearing the news about him forming an elixir in Jing State, or they were unable to confirm its authenticity.
However, the intelligence channels of the upper echelons of the sect were faster, and they had already determined that Lu Changan had formed the true elixir.
After Lu Changan entered the Liang Kingdom, he did not deliberately hide it. During the journey on the turtle, we encountered two teams of sect law enforcement monks at the border.
Jinyun Valley is the nearest immortal cultivation sect of Li family in Xuemei Mountain.
"Friend Lu Dao, I am very happy and congratulated for forming a true elixir."
"If it weren't for the delay in sect affairs, Zhang almost went to Jing Kingdom to visit fellow Taoist Lu when he learned the news."
The clouds in the sky broke, and a rich man's voice came.
Then I saw a man in a black robe with a calm demeanor, a medium build, and a slightly dark face. He stepped on the golden light and landed in the air of the Li family in Xuemei Mountain.
"Master Tianfeng! Elder Jinyungu!"
Li Congren and other core monks of the family felt the stronger spiritual pressure of the true elixir, and recognized the identity of the person through the face and clothing.
"Zhang Tianfeng, the law enforcement elder of Jinyun Valley...Grandpa Lu really has a good relationship with him."
Li Congren's heart was shaken, he suppressed his excitement and did not step forward rashly.
Master Tian Feng is an absolute big shot in the world of immortal cultivation in Liang Kingdom.
I once used my true elixir cultivation in the early stage to compete undefeated in the mid-term.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, you are well. Back then, when I learned that you were being chased by the True Alchemy cultivators on the battlefield and disappeared, Lu was worried about you for a while."
Lu Changan waved his sleeves and greeted him with a smile.
"I miss you Daoist Master Lu. Zhang escaped from death and was a blessing in disguise. He got guidance from an expert. Only then can he be tied with Master Lu today."
Zhang Tieshan has been in the true elixir for many years, and the aura of elixir power on his body is obviously stronger than that of Lu Changan.
Lu Chang'an observed that he should have formed a middle-level true elixir.
Of course, the quality of Cheng Dan can be concealed, maybe there is something concealed, maybe it is the real situation.
Regarding Zhang Tieshan's situation, Lu Changan and Li Congren had a chat.
Zhang Tieshan's low-grade spiritual roots first produced fake elixirs, and then transformed the elixirs into real elixirs. Others naturally knew that he had a great opportunity.
However, after being promoted to True Alchemy, Zhang Tieshan's combat prowess was outstanding at his level, and there were only a handful of monks in the entire Liang Kingdom who could threaten him.
What's more important is that those who can successfully convert elixirs are often protected by the True Monarch Nascent Soul.
Zhang Tieshan also felt calm that he needed guidance from an expert.
There was once a late-stage overhaul of Zhendan who secretly peeped at Zhang Tieshan and sensed an invisible crisis. As a result, he was so frightened that he ran away in confusion.
Moreover, the method of transforming pills is not too unusual among Yuanying-level sects, especially the ancient sects like Jinyang Sect.
In Jinyang Sect, there are several second-generation immortals every hundred years who can enjoy the treatment of elixir transformation and reunion.
After all, the True Lord Nascent Soul in the sect also has descendants, and the inheritance of master and disciple is indispensable for the worldly wisdom.
In the eyes of ordinary monks, the transformation of elixirs is incomparable to reaching heaven. In the eyes of the True Lord, it is nothing more than a simple effort.
…
In the main hall of Xuemei Mountain.
Lu Chang'an and Zhang Tieshan, two immortal alchemists, sat down to talk.
Li Congren and his wife stayed with them, and after chatting for a while, they made an impression in front of Zhang Tieshan, and then resigned voluntarily.
"When Mr. Lu arrived in Liang State, Fellow Daoist Zhang immediately came to find him. I don't know why?"
Lu Changan said in surprise.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, this time Zhang is entrusted by the Great Elder and Sect Master to invite you to Jinyun Valley as a guest."
Zhang Tieshan said with a smile and explained his intention.
Going to Jinyun Valley as a guest?
Lu Changan knew the elegant meaning when he heard the sound of the string, and immediately understood the purpose of Zhang Tieshan's visit.
Jin Yungu, this is planning to recruit him.
After many years of immortality-cultivating wars, the original immortal-cultivating sect in Liang State has lost some of its high-level combat capabilities.
Lu Changan has a clean background and a reliable character. He is not only a true elixir cultivator, but also a third-level talisman master.
The sect would naturally be attracted by such a talent.
"Friend Lu Dao is now a true elixir cultivator. In the past, third-level spiritual veins were indispensable for practice. The small third-level spiritual veins of ordinary families cannot supply many true elixirs, and the quality and scope of the spiritual veins are far inferior to those of Jinyun Valley."
Zhang Tieshan hit the nail on the head with one word.
True elixir monks need third-level spiritual veins to maintain their practice. There are basically no spiritual vein dojos of this level available for rent outside.
Foundation Building Pills, Crystal Condensation Pills, third-level spiritual veins...these are strategic resources monopolized by sect families.
"Lu is greedy for life and afraid of death, and is used to being lazy. I'm afraid I won't be acclimatized if I join the sect."
Lu Changan knew that after being promoted to True Alchemy, it would be difficult to stay away from major forces if he wanted to stabilize his practice.
First and second level spiritual veins can be rented.
Third-level spiritual veins are too difficult, and even if there are special circumstances, renting or selling them is expensive.
It is also a difficult problem to guard the third-level spiritual veins without managing the power.
There are third-level middle-grade and high-grade spiritual veins above.
"Zhang has informed the Great Elder. If Fellow Daoist Lu becomes the guest elder of Jinyun Valley, he will usually only use talismans to help guard the sect. Even if the Six Demonic Sects invade, there is no need for him to fight on the front lines."
Zhang Tieshan had already responded and said with a smile.
Lu Changan secretly thought, if there is no need to fight, then he can still consider it.
"Lu entered Jiedan for the first time and returned to Liang Kingdom not long ago. This matter needs to be considered for several years."
Lu Changan doesn't have to worry for the time being.
Before he transformed the elixir and re-knotted it, he couldn't practice.
"I hope fellow Daoist Lu will go to the mountain gate, talk to the great elder, and feel the sincerity of Jinyun Valley. Regardless of whether this matter is successful or not, Zhang can give me a copy of his experience in converting elixirs."
Zhang Tieshan promised.
"Experiences of converting elixirs?"
Lu Changan's head moved and he couldn't help but ask:
"May I ask Fellow Daoist Zhang, where did you get the true elixir?"
Zhang Tieshan hesitated for a moment and said: "The location of Zhang's elixir formation is in Wangyue Immortal City. This is a personal secret. I hope fellow Taoist Lu can keep it a secret."
"Thank you Daoist Zhang for clearing up the confusion. Lu will never disclose it to others."
In fact, the location of Zhang Tieshan's alchemy reunion was within Lu Changan's expectation.
Wangyue Immortal City was also the location that Lu Changan had considered for his final attack on the pill formation.
Wangyue Immortal City is located between the Liang Kingdom and the Feng Kingdom. Its former site is the fourth-level spiritual vein of the Demon Sect. It is a transcendent neutral fairy city.
Wangyue Fairy City mainly deals with the business of high-level monks. It has a good reputation and a mysterious background.
It is said that it was opened by the forces from the Daqing Central Region.
In Wangyue Immortal City, it is very common to attack the formation of pills. Even if the upstream true pill is formed, it is not considered high-profile.
It is even allowed to have babies to survive the tribulation!
Monks who form alchemy, including fake alchemy, are the main customers here. Traces of True Lord Nascent Soul also occasionally appear there.
However, the area around Wangyue Fairy City is a border area that has no control. The calamity cultivator wandering nearby is extremely powerful!
If it’s not Master Jiedan who goes to Wangyue Fairy City, the risk is relatively high.
Foundation-building monks often follow their elders to gain knowledge.
Lu Changan and Zhang Tieshan chatted until evening.
In addition to reminiscing about the past and understanding the situation in Liang State, Lu Changan and Zhang Tieshan reached some intentions.
For example, refining wood magic weapons.
Zhang Tieshan doesn't want the spirit stone, and Lu Changan will use the third-level talisman as reward in the future.
Zhang Tieshan comes from a blacksmith family and has been strong-willed since childhood.
After entering the immortal path, he has always had a good talent for refining weapons, and he has taken on the skills of a weapon refiner in the sect.
Especially in the years since he said goodbye to Lu Changan, his weapon-refining skills have improved by leaps and bounds, becoming a rare third-level weapon-refining master.
Lu Changan couldn't help but wonder if this progress was related to the Five Elements Earth he had traded.
He knew that the five elements soil could enhance the power of magic weapons and repair high-level magic weapons, but he had not heard that it could improve the skill of refining weapons.
…
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, it's getting late. Lu originally planned to stay one night in Xuemei Mountain and set off for Jinyun Valley tomorrow."
Jinyun Valley is Lu Changan's second stop when he returns to Liang Kingdom.
Even if Zhang Tieshan doesn't come to invite, he will go to Jinyun Valley tomorrow.
One is to meet old friends.
The second is to trade with Zhang Tieshan, refine magic weapons, explore the location of the elixir, and exchange experiences.
Zhang Tieshan took the initiative to invite him and promised to share his experience in converting elixirs, which suited Lu Changan's wishes.
"It doesn't matter, Zhang will return to Jinyun Valley with fellow Daoist Lu tomorrow."
Zhang Tieshan nodded.
He probably guessed Lu Changan's intention of staying one night in Xuemei Mountain.
According to the information obtained by Jinyun Valley, Lu Changan smuggled himself to the Jing Kingdom through the Li family of Xuemei Mountain, thereby gaining thirty years of stable cultivation.
Taking a ride along the way is completely different from staying overnight.
Through this simple method, Lu Changan reciprocated and sent a signal to the outside world.
That night, Mrs. Li from Xuemei Mountain treated the two masters as if they were state guests and arranged a guest room with the best environment for the two masters.
Zhang Tieshan lived in a quiet villa.
Entering the pavilion of the other courtyard, Zhang Tieshan immediately dismissed the maid and servant.
Zhang Tieshan, like Lu Changan, had practiced Buddhism for more than a hundred years, never had a Taoist partner, and did not leave any heirs.
Lu Changan was in the Liang Kingdom, and there were some minor scandals.
As for Zhang Tieshan, it has never been reported that he had an intimate relationship with any female cultivator.
In addition to being decisive in killing and tough in law enforcement, this was also one of the reasons why he was known as the "Black Iron Mask" back then.
"The Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique...the legendary great monk Yan Donglai...this weapon spirit has remembered it!"
A childlike voice sounded in Zhang Tieshan's mind.
With the repair of the Lingbao fragments, the memory of the weapon spirit gradually recovered.
"Legendary Great Monk Yan Donglai?"
Zhang Tieshan looked puzzled, hearing this unfamiliar title for the first time.
He only knew that three hundred years ago in the Daqing Middle Territory, a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage was born, who led the ten Xuanmen sects and defeated the six peak demon sects.
It was also because of that great monk who changed the pattern of Daqing and led to the eastward expansion of the Six Demonic Sects.
"The legendary great monk is the top late Nascent Soul. His reputation is not limited to a certain cultivation world. He has left rumors all over the Tianyan Continent. Such old monsters often possess powerful true spirit treasures. In the transformation of gods, When Tianjun is limited, he can even fight with the former."
"The old immortal Yan Donglai is one of the best. The previous owner of this weapon spirit was tricked by him..."
When Qi Ling mentioned Yan Donglai, his tone was a bit unhappy, and he could not hide his fear.
"I dare to ask, is that Senior Yan still alive in this world?"
"Hehe, even if the old immortal is not completely dead, he is still in bad luck."
The weapon spirit gloated.
"The Evergreen Skill of Ancient Trees, is it a unique skill?"
"An ancient health-preserving skill, with mediocre power, can prolong life and heal injuries extremely well. The cultivation requirements of this skill are extremely high, at least it requires the earth spirit root of the wood system. The cultivation speed is as slow as a tortoise. For top geniuses, it is almost the same. It’s tasteless…”
"Wood type earth spirit root? Wait a minute, senior, I remember that Lu Changan's wood spirit root is not even mid-grade."
Zhang Tieshan couldn't help but interrupt.
"Well... I don't know much about this weapon spirit. Maybe Lu Changan has a unique method of hiding his spiritual roots, or there are other conditions."
"In short, practicing this technique will not yield any good results in the end."
Due to incomplete memory, Qi Ling couldn't tell the specific reason, so he hesitated and finally came to a direct conclusion.
…
The next morning.
Lu Changan completed the routine cultivation of treasure talismans and the practice of "Hundred Forged Diamond".
"Hundred Forging King Kong" is a relatively mediocre body-training method with no characteristics. If you have good talent, enough resources, and a lot of energy, you can practice relatively smoothly.
Lu Changan has a foundation in body training, and it is estimated that he will be able to cultivate it to the original level in about a year, and then hit the third level of body training.
Later, he met Zhang Tieshan and prepared to say goodbye to Li Congren.
In the main hall, Li Congren was receiving important guests.
It was an old man with a long beard and gray hair, a fake alchemy practitioner, and he talked amiably with Li Congren.
"The Chang'an mine belongs to the place of mineral veins first discovered and developed by the Li family in Xuemei Mountain. This is a fact recognized by the surrounding areas. Previously, several junior members of my Dongmen family were ignorant and offered too low a price, which made Li Xiaoyou laugh. ”
The old man with a long beard is the helmsman of the Dongmen family and the leader of the Dongmen clan.
Looking at the kind-faced Dongmen clan leader who expressed his apologies in a subtle way, Li Congren felt as happy as if the blazing sun had driven away the dark clouds.
It is unimaginable that this is a big shot that he has not been qualified to meet for many years.
The Dongmen Family has a hidden secret, watching Xuemei Shan's every move.
When he learned that two true elixir masters were staying overnight in Xuemei Mountain, and one of them was the law enforcement elder of Jinyun Valley, the leader of the Dongmen clan broke into a cold sweat.
After the Jinyang Sect's northward migration war, the Dongmen family suffered heavy losses, mainly due to the death of the Supreme Elder Zhendan.
After the war, the Dongmen Family rested and recuperated. Through the harvest and compensation from the war, they cultivated one False Pill and two Foundation Builders.
However, the accumulated resources failed to achieve the true elixir.
Fortunately, he moved to Liang State.
If you stay in the Feng Kingdom, all the top families will have true elixirs in charge, and some even have more than one.
Nowadays, the Dongmen Aristocratic Family, which is struggling with its business, does not want to offend a true elixir-level monk because of a mine.
Even if the Supreme Elder is still here, the gain outweighs the loss.
What's more, the territory of the Dongmen Family is within the jurisdiction of the Jinyun Sect.
"Chief of the Dongmen Clan, this junior is going to see the two real people off. Please wait for a moment."
Li Congren glanced at his wife outside the hall, stood up and apologized.
"It doesn't matter! The two true elixirs will be driving, and I will accompany my little friend for a ride."
The head of the Dongmen clan shamelessly went out with Li Congren.
Not long after.
The head of the Dongmen clan, Li Congren and his wife, saw Lu Changan and Zhang Tieshan talking in the courtyard.
"The old head of the Dongmen family, Dongmen Qing..."
The Dongmen clan leader had a humble tone and a friendly smile, and stepped forward to chat with the two True Alchemy monks.
Lu Changan and Zhang Tieshan spoke in a calm tone and exchanged casual sentences without much conversation.
"Grandpa Lu, take care."
Li Congren and his wife and other core family members respectfully watched Lu Changan and his wife fly into the Jiugang Sky above the clouds.
Li Congren saw the embarrassed and bitter Dongmen clan leader not far away.
At this moment, he deeply realized the difference between fake elixirs and real elixirs.
This is a bigger gap than the difference between true elixir and golden elixir.
The true elixir is mainly about mana and future potential, which is inferior to the golden elixir of the same level, but at least they agree with each other and they all belong to the elixir formation stage.
As for fake pills, in the eyes of many high-level monks, they are not considered real pill-forming monks.
It has status value and is called a real person. If not promoted, they can even be regarded as juniors.
Lu Changan and Zhang Tieshan obviously did not take the Dongmen clan leader seriously.
"If you have the opportunity to form an elixir in this life, you must form a true elixir."
Li Congren realized the intimidating power of the true elixir.
There is no need to show off, and there is no need to fight in person or lose one's status.
Grandpa Lu only stayed in Xuemei Mountain for one night, but he was so frightened that the head of the Dongmen clan came to visit him personally and took the initiative to give in and resolve the grudges.
Of course, what Li Congren doesn't know is that neither his Grandpa Lu nor Elder Zhang Tianfeng are ordinary true elixir cultivators...
…
Less than half a day.
Lu Changan and Zhang Tieshan flew over Jinyun Valley.
The brilliance of the scorching sun shines on the towering mountains shrouded in clouds and mist. The rocks rich in metal minerals reflect the faint golden glow onto the clouds, outlining the majestic fairyland treasure land of "a line of gold in the mountains and clouds".
Lu Changan couldn't remember how many times he came to Jinyun Valley.
But two of them were definitely impressive.
The first time I came to Jinyun Valley for an assessment, I failed.
At that time, four people, Lu Changan, Zhao Siyao, Lin Yi, and Li Ergou, who were also from Hengshui Mansion, and only Zhao Siyao entered Jinyun Valley with better qualifications.
Zhang Tieshan, from another place, also ranked first in mood and will in the same period.
Today, more than a hundred years later, some of the four members of that year have passed away, and the fate of the remaining members is clearly visible and has even been finalized.
The most impressive second time is definitely this time!
"Fellow Daoist Lu, this is my sect master of Jinyun Valley, Master Xuanxiao."
A powerful aura in the middle stage of pill formation, like a golden flying dragon, flew out from the sect master's hall in Jinyun Valley.
Golden light and shadow solidified in front of the two of them.
He is a handsome man wearing a high crown and golden feathers, with outstanding bearing.
Under the introduction of Zhang Tieshan.
The two people, who are both good in appearance and temperament, greet each other with a pleasing and fairy-like atmosphere.
"Zhenqing Zhenren, a great name that I have admired for a long time."
"The sect master personally greeted him and defeated someone from Lu."
Lu Changan was also surprised. He did not expect that the leader of Jinyun Valley would greet him personally.
Although, the leader of Jinyun Valley is not the person with the highest cultivation level.
In Jinyun Valley, the Great Elder is the strongest.
The sect leader manages the sect and takes care of the secular affairs. Although his status is similar to that of the law enforcement elders, he is still the representative figure of the sect.
Lu Changan's mood at this moment was naturally deeply impressed.
One hundred and fifty years ago.
He was eliminated from Jinyun Valley and became a casual cultivator, and had no choice but to join the Feiyue Lake Mu family.
One hundred and fifty years later.
Returning to Jinyun Valley, the elder personally accompanied him, and the head of a sect welcomed him out of the mountain gate.
Time is ruthless, the world is ups and downs, honor and disgrace rise and fall...
As long as you live old enough, you will be both an experiencer of history and a trend-watcher.
…
The three Jie Dan Daoist men were chatting and laughing, and fell towards the gate of Jinyun Valley at their feet.
Just then.
Another ray of light, as light as clouds, came towards the three of them.
Zhang Tieshan and the sect leader looked at each other and smiled.
The person who came was a female cultivator of Zhendan, wearing a colorful dress and a graceful figure.
Judging by his appearance, he is about eighteen or nineteen years old, with eyebrows like green feathers, skin like white snow, and eyes as bright as two stars and tears.
At first glance, Lu Changan's appearance was somewhat similar to that of Zhao Siyao, but his temperament was very different.
Zhao Siyao's temperament is cold and calm, his demeanor is upright and elegant.
This goddess rhyme is more elegant, with a kind of pure, light and bright movement and playfulness.
"Zhao Tan'er?"
Lu Changan came to his senses and recognized the female disciple who was his old friend.
Judging from the mana aura, it was only in the past one or two years that Zhao Tan'er was promoted to true elixir.
The last time I heard about this girl was when she was in the foundation building stage, and she gained a lot in the Qingming Secret Realm.
At that time, the Earth Rock Rat was attacking the third level, and Zhao Siyao had also formed a fake elixir for many years.
"Tan'er, I've met Uncle Lu."
Compared to a few decades ago, Zhao Tan'er was more stable after forming a pill. She bowed gracefully and her voice was sweet and sweet.
"Is your master at the door?"
Lu Changan had not seen Zhao Siyao for decades, so he returned to Liang Kingdom and came to Jinyun Valley for the second time, preparing to pay a special visit.
"Master? She just went into seclusion today."
Zhao Tan'er turned her beautiful eyes to look at Uncle Lu, who had no trace of his years, with a special meaning in his eyes.
"Retreat?"
Lu Changan couldn't help but be startled, is it such a coincidence?
He returned to Jinyun Valley as a true alchemy monk. The news must have reached him in advance. Zhao Siyao just happened to be in seclusion?
