Qingmei goes out to investigate.
Fire Bamboo City is not small in scale, and the most planted species in the city is bamboo.
This is a unique kind of bamboo that can remain intact in the spiritual fire of heaven and earth. Only fairy fire can make it burn. Once the bamboo burns, it can also provide energy for the fairy fire. Therefore, fire bamboo is considered a local specialty, and some people travel thousands of miles away. Come and buy.
Outside Huozhu City, closer to the volcano, there is a huge "Bamboo Fire Gate".
Although the Bamboo Fire Sect does not belong to the eight major sects, it ranks high among the hundred major sects in the Five Bird Realm, with more than a dozen Xuanxian and tens of thousands of disciples.
Fire Bamboo City was built by the Bamboo Fire Sect to provide a residence for disciples and family members, as well as a trading shop for casual cultivators.
Cultivation of immortality is inseparable from the Dharma of a wealthy couple. If a person practices meditation behind closed doors, it is impossible to become a golden immortal.
Qingmei wandered around the city for a few days, and finally found a large store that sold the "Dongtian World" left by the immortals. The broken caves were very expensive, one Xuanxian Dongtian sold for 5 million taels; the unopened ones were Dongtian is relatively cheap and can be purchased for more than one million taels.
She came back and reported to Lu Chan: "Brother, I got a piece of news. There is also a Golden Immortal in the Bamboo Fire Sect, named 'Zhuang Heng'. He has just been promoted to Golden Immortal for less than three thousand years.
Those mysterious immortals, in order to improve their skills, sit on the crater of a volcano to practice. If they accidentally fall into the volcano, they will probably be burned to death and it will be difficult to escape.
Jinxianzhuang can always go down to the bottom of the volcano and fish out the ruined immortal bones and the cave world.
Therefore, Xuanxian Cave Heaven can be purchased in the city. "
Lu Chan's heart moved, and she thought to herself: "If my skills were higher, I could jump into the volcano like Zhuang Heng. There are not only fairy fires inside the volcano, but also things left by the burned immortals."
He endured this impulse for the time being and said to Qingmei: "Go and buy some small caves. The smaller the better! Don't worry about the price."
Qingmei asked: "Why choose the smaller one?"
Lu Chan explained: "The smaller you are, the higher your realm is. The cave sky of Xuanxian is like an egg, the cave of Jinxian is like a dragon's eye, the cave of Daluo Jinxian is like a broad bean, the cave of Chaos Daluo Jinxian is like a mung bean, and the cave of Chaos Wujiluo Jinxian is like a mustard seed. Mustard seeds are mustard seeds, 1-2 mm in diameter, which are crushed and mixed with water, vinegar, etc. to become mustard."
So Qingmei walked out again.
An hour later, she hurriedly came back: "Brother, I spent five million taels to buy a cave the size of a longan! It is cyan, different from the red one I saw before."
She handed over a cyan bead with a diameter of two centimeters.
Lu Chan held the bead in his hand and saw that there was a circle of rich fairy energy around it, as well as fine golden runes, which should belong to the Golden Immortal Cave.
He felt very strange: "How come there is such a thing in Fire Bamboo City?"
Qingmei asked: "Brother, is this the cave of human monks? Could it be left by the demon clan?"
Lu Chan said: "This is the cave left by the golden immortal of the human race who practiced the wood-based mind method."
"Ah? Golden Immortal will die too?"
"Of course he will die. Just like the skulls of Chisongzi, Xizhong, and Uncle He that I got, those people are also intermediate-level Witch Kings, equivalent to the Golden Immortal level."
"In the past in the Bird World, I opened a gold shop in Kunlun Market and tried my best to collect the skulls of the Witch King. Unfortunately, in that battle, although many monks died, they were all Heavenly Witches and low-level Witch Kings. Low-level Witches The king's skull has not yet opened a small world. I heard that once a small world is opened, the strength can be greatly improved, right?"
"Yes." Lu Chan has been in seclusion for more than forty years, advanced to the third level of the Witch King, opened up the small world of skulls, and is ten times stronger than before. But he is still in the late stage of Xuanxian and cannot catch up with his true self, Lu Cheng.
Qingmei asked: "If you buy this cyan cave for 5 million taels, will you make a loss?"
Lu Chan said: "If you can break it, you will lose money. If you can't break it, you will lose money."
A cave like this left by an immortal cannot be cracked by force. If it is cracked by force, it may explode.
It takes a lot of time to crack this thing, and Lu Chan is too lazy to figure it out on his own. If he has this skill, he might as well practice hard. He planned to hand over the three caves to his deity, Lu Cheng, and ask him to take them back to modern times and give them to future generations to decipher.
*****
In the modern world, Lu Cheng has been meditating on the 22nd level of Yuxu Peak, constantly absorbing the Tears of the Stars, improving his skills, and preparing to attack the fifth level of the Witch King.
In the autumn of 3140, the second-generation ancestor Lu Qingshan came out of seclusion, cultivated into the Witch King and the Martial King, and became the fifth immortal of the Lu family, after Lu Cheng, Guan Sangyue, Jiang Qiuyun and Yang Yunxiao.
Since my father was focused on meditation and never showed up, my mother rarely interfered with family affairs. Lu Qingshan became the decision-making ancestor of the Lu family.
Of course, ordinary matters are solved by the people below, and they cannot reach Lu Qingshan's level.
Jiang Zhixin, the sixteenth generation hostess of the Lu family, has been a housekeeper for a long time. According to the rules, she should pass it on to her daughter-in-law Yang Yunxiao. However, Yang Yunxiao is a fairy and cannot bother to take care of trivial matters. The next generation of grandson-in-law Tang Qing'er had already been promoted to Shangsi and was a world-famous female general. She was unwilling to take over the responsibilities of the housekeeper, so Jiang Zhixin had no choice but to continue working and work hard to cultivate her great-grandson's daughter-in-law Huang Juan.
Huang Juan's husband, Lu Chongyang, is a soldier and spends most of his time away from home.
Huang Juan stayed in Chang'an City, practicing to improve her skills, learning witchcraft and financial knowledge, and participating in the imitation work of Bailing Banner, Xinghuang Banner, and Juxian Banner.
As of 3140, she was over a hundred years old and was ready in all aspects. After her son married a daughter-in-law, she could take over the responsibility of managing family affairs from her great-grandmother.
However, his son Lu Dengtang is still slowly dating Chu Yu, who knows when the marriage will come naturally.
On this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Qingshan hosted a family meeting.
He is a great scientist and very rigorous in his work.
Lu Cheng, on the other hand, graduated from the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He pursues general directions in his work and is not strict with details.
The participants in the meeting were all monks above Nascent Soul, 60% of whom were from the direct lineage, and the other 40%, some of whom were from Qingfeng Villa, were descendants of Guan Sangyue.
Guan Qingfeng and Lin Qiuhong also attended the meeting. Although Guan Qingfeng had been a high-ranking official in the Presbytery for many years and was once a powerful figure, his skill had only reached the fifth level of the Tianwu Master. He could not follow up with his brother Lu Qingshan, who was the Xuanxian. Compare.
Guan Qingfeng knows what an immortal is. Standing on the top of Mount Tai like his mother, experiencing lightning and flying through the sky, is what an immortal should be like.
Lu Qingshan stood at the front desk and said: "There are still 1410 years left before 4550 years. Who can tell where the nine stars are? How far away are they from the solar system?"
Lu Qingyan knew more about this matter and replied: "The Zijin 171 galaxy, which is the closest to the solar system, is still 323 light-years away."
"How fast does a star move? Can it travel a distance of 323 light years in 1,410 years?"
"Judging from the trajectory over the past thousand years, this is indeed the case."
"As the stars move, will they drag along other planets? For example, when the ten stars converge, will Proxima Centauri, which is very close to the earth, be dragged over?"
"this……"
"Like the Zijin 171 galaxy, which is moving at such a high speed, will it slow down when it gets closer to the solar system? If it doesn't slow down, how big of an impact will it cause?"
"The Institute of Astrophysics is still calculating. But because the distance is too far, the parameters of the nine stars have not been determined, so it is impossible to draw conclusions."
Lu Qingshan asked a lot of questions. In the final analysis, he wanted to let more humans survive in this catastrophe.
He felt that there was no need to let all human beings stay and wait for death. He could choose the right time to let some people board the Galaxy, combine with Weiyang Palace, and escape to the stars in the distance.
This kind of operation is very complicated and cannot be understood by ordinary people. However, as the leading cultivation family with so many scientists, the Lu family must push the country to work in this direction.
If you want to move to other stars, you need to make preparations from now on.
Lu Xinghuan, who entered the Elders' House instead of Guan Qingfeng, also participated in the meeting via video. He listened carefully, took notes in a notebook, and then convened scientists from across the country to discuss where humans could move.
Not to mention planets such as Jupiter and Saturn, even Proxima Centauri will not work. We must calculate the trajectories of nine major stars and find those stars that are not affected. They must also have appropriate temperatures and living environments.
As for "Wandering Earth"? This idea can basically be ruled out. The reason is that the earth belongs to the Yuaniao Realm and is destined to join the other nine birds. According to ancestor Lu Cheng's guess, this was decided by several top immortal emperors!
The Immortal Emperor can capture the earth with two fingers, where else do you want to escape? Even if we install a nuclear power engine on the earth, there is no point in escaping to the horizon.
But if some ordinary people escape, the Immortal Emperor will not bother to take care of them.
