Lu Chan and Qingmei stayed in Yuxu Peak for a period of seclusion.
In the 680th year of Shenting's calendar, Lu Chan came out of seclusion and advanced to the intermediate level of Immortal King.
Qingmei also achieved a breakthrough and was successfully promoted to the first-level Immortal King. After she came out of seclusion, she went to visit Jiang Qiuyun and Guan Sangyue, and was surprised to find that both ladies had advanced to become Immortal Kings one step ahead.
Yuxu Peak is uniquely blessed with an excellent cultivation environment. If you stay here and practice quietly, your skills will improve quickly.
Although Jiang Qiuyun and Guan Sangyue chose different paths of cultivation, they ended up with the same goal.
It stands to reason that before cultivating to the Immortal King, you will face the five declines of heaven and humans. After cultivating to the Immortal King, calamities will begin to come. Affected by the five declines of heaven and humans and the calamities, the advancement of immortals will be difficult step by step. However, the Lu family focused on the study of cultivation theory and mastered the mutual generation and restraint between runes. They also mastered some of the time and space runes, thus avoiding the five declines of heaven and man and the waves of calamity.
For this reason, most of the monks in the Lu family advanced smoothly.
As of the 680th year of the Shenting Calendar, many immortal kings have been born in the Lu family. In addition to Lu Cheng and his two clones, there are also Jiang Qiuyun, Guan Sangyue, Qingmei, Yang Yunxiao, Lu Qingshan and Guan Qingfeng.
Originally, Qingmei was born in the demon clan. The demon clan has a unique way of cultivation. It was fast to enter the country in the early stage, but difficult to enter in the later stage. However, Qingmei followed Lu Cheng and Lu Chan all year round, chose the path of human shamanism, and completed high school and undergraduate education. Therefore, her path to immortality is completely different from that of the demon clan. Because of this, she was able to quickly advance to Immortal King and catch up with Jiang Qiuyun and Guan Sangyue.
Qingmei is very satisfied with the progress of her skills. She did not envy the first lady and the second lady for their cultivation, but she envied the two ladies for giving birth to children and producing so many descendants.
She felt melancholy and unhappy when she thought that she had been practicing with her husband for ten thousand years and was still alone after thousands of sails with no children.
However, because she was in the middle of a catastrophe, she couldn't say anything. She just hoped that this catastrophe would end soon.
*****
Yang Yunxiao, Lu Yunting and Lu Laoquan arrived in Qiniao State, found a new mountain range, re-established a base, and named it "Black Tiger Villa".
They took up the banner of Yuanshi Tianzun and carefully managed it for fifty years before raising the mountain protection array to the 47th level, just like the Luming Villa back then.
In the 700th year of Shenting's calendar, Lu Chan and Qingmei made a comeback and arrived at "Black Tiger Villa" through the teleportation array.
Also coming with them were the 15th generation grandson Lu Wenbo and his wife Zhu Ying.
Lu Wenbo is a diplomat who specializes in the art of vertical and horizontal manipulation. He had already cultivated into the Great Luo Jinxian, and came to show his face in the name of Lu Chan, pretending to be a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, and making friends with the great immortals who came and went.
This time, Lu Chan was not prepared to kill everyone because the time was not yet ripe. He should be patient for a few more years and wait until the level of the mountain guarding array was raised to level 49 or even level 50 before taking down the banner of Yuanshi Tianzun.
Lu Yunting and Yang Yunxiao set up a hidden immortal formation inside the mountain-protecting formation. They usually hid in the hidden formation to practice. Even if the Immortal King and the Immortal Lord came to visit, they would not know their existence. With them at Black Tiger Villa, Lu Wenbo can better display his skills of vertical and horizontal manipulation.
Lu Chan and Qingmei did not stay at Black Tiger Villa, but asked Lu Laoquan to drive the hunting chariot of Ten Thousand Beasts to continue moving towards the Eight Birds State.
From Black Tiger Villa to Hatori State, the shortest distance is 1.43 million kilometers.
The New World doesn't know how vast it is. It is formed by the fusion of hundreds of stars, and those stars are much larger than the earth.
There are many stars in the universe, many times larger than the sun and the earth. Not to mention the stars that emit light and heat, the number of planets that do not emit light can be tens of thousands of times that of the earth. For example, HD 100546b, which is 335 light-years away from the Earth, has a diameter of 9,865 million kilometers, while the Earth's diameter is only 12,756 kilometers. The difference between the two is 770,000 times.
Because there are many Immortal Lords and middle- and low-level Immortal Kings settled in Qiniao State, Lu Chan actively chose to keep a low profile, using the art of seeing from the sky, hearing from the earth, and trying to avoid Immortal King-level figures as much as possible, not to attack their territory, and They did not seek to kill the Immortal Lord and Daluo Jinxian, so their trip went smoothly.
Despite this, it is still impossible to completely avoid killings, because this is not an era of peace and tranquility, and killings are everywhere.
On this day, they arrived at "Balcony Mountain".
There lived an immortal king named Zhao Gongming on Balcony Mountain.
Zhao Gongming is a famous God of Wealth, but his origins are very ugly. He was originally the apprentice of the Ancestor Ming He, one of the "Eight Ghost Commanders" who "walked the world and violently killed all the people." The Emperor of Heaven ordered people to capture him. It happened that Hou Yi shot the sun, and nine golden crows fell from the sky. Among them Eight fell on the sea and turned into fairy mountains on the sea, and the other fell on land and turned into "Balcony Mountain".
Zhao Gongming hid in Yangtang Mountain and practiced for tens of thousands of years, and his skills improved greatly. Later, during the Conferred Gods War, he was invited by the Grand Master to go down the mountain to help business. However, he failed and was killed by the Grand Master, and some of his souls entered the Conferred Gods List. Taigong Qishan was granted the title of God, and Zhao Gongming was granted the title of True King of Xuantan. Part of his soul fled back to Yangtang Mountain, where he cultivated for many years and became the Immortal King.
Since the formation of the New World, he opened a market at the foot of Balcony Mountain and started a business. He gathered many gods and goddesses and helped the gods in distress from time to time, confirming his status as the God of Wealth who is eager for justice and justice.
Lu Chan and Qingmei appeared at the market and took out gold powder to buy some fairy materials.
On the eighth day of every month, at three quarters of noon, Zhao Gongming would go down the mountain to drink tea in the market. When he saw interesting immortals, he would make friends and chat with them.
Lu Chan stayed here for several days and met the legendary God of Wealth.
Zhao Gongming's image is a bit strange. He wears an iron crown on his head, holds an iron whip in his hand, has a face as black as coal, and has four beards. There is also a black tiger following him, which is his mount. However, considering his origin, it is not surprising that he was originally one of the eight great ghost commanders, but after turning from yin to yang, he became a god and grew up like black coal.
Lu Chan is an intermediate-level Immortal King. He deliberately lowers his realm to the Immortal Lord level when he is away from home. He was proficient in the six great magical powers. He could see at a glance the flow of energy around Zhao Gongming and the entanglement of the laws of heaven. He felt a little bit of yin energy in the pure yang and realized that this person was not like the person described in the legend. Honesty, magnanimity, eliminating plagues and disasters, and upholding justice.
Therefore, Lu Chan was a little disappointed and said to Qingmei who was standing beside him: "It's boring. Let's get out of here."
Qingmei wore a high-level immortal talisman that concealed her skills and dressed up as a maidservant of the Xuanxian level.
Lu Chan thought to herself: "I have seen so many gods and immortals along the way, but not a few good people at all. They say one thing in the open and do another in secret. They are not worthy of their name and are only superficial. The world is as black as a crow. It is so disappointing. ”
What he was really disappointed with was not against Zhao Gongming. To him, Zhao Gongming, the Immortal King, could only be regarded as a small immortal, equivalent to the role of a passerby. He was disappointed that the top immortal Buddhas in the world, including Taishang Laojun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Yuanshi Tianzun, enjoyed the incense of the common people on weekdays, but when the disaster came, they treated the common people like pigs and dogs. Moreover, even the two leaders of the Western Sect are also disciples of Patriarch Hongjun. This matter is too sad.
Lu Chan and Qingmei were about to leave the market when they suddenly heard someone calling from behind: "Immortal, please stay."
He turned around and saw that it was Zhao Gongming who was greeting him, so he said, "I have met Zhao Xianwang."
Zhao Gongming said: "The two immortals have majestic heads and horns. It is fate that they appear here. I would like to buy you a drink. Can you give me some face?"
Lu Chan said: "I'm sorry, King Zhao Xian, we still have something to do and we have to rush on our way."
"It's going to rain tonight, so it's not advisable to travel far."
"Is the immortal still afraid of rain?"
"Where do you two immortals want to go?"
Lu Chan pointed towards the east and then said goodbye.
Zhao Gongming said: "Wait a minute, there are many murderous intentions in the east, so don't go there. Why don't you two immortals go with me? I have a treasure that can help you get rid of the plague."
Lu Chan turned to look at Qingmei and said, "Since the Immortal King is so kind to you, let's go have a drink with him."
The two followed Zhao Gongming, left the market, and went to Yangtang Mountain.
A magic circle was arranged on Balcony Mountain.
In these days, which god wants to establish himself without setting up a magic circle? Without a magic circle, you may be attacked at any time. Only with the magic circle can we find temporary peace.
However, for Lu Chan and Qingmei, it is quite dangerous to enter other people's formation as guests.
Fortunately, they have strong skills. One is an intermediate Immortal King and the other is an elementary Immortal King. They carry a variety of artifacts and are not afraid of the traps laid by Zhao Gongming.
Zhao Gongming held a banquet in the palace and invited several fairy fairies to dance and sing, and have a banquet with Lu Chan and Qingmei.
After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are gone.
Zhao Gongming said: "After the Battle of the Gods in the past, I was made the God of Wealth by Jiang Ziya. I gained countless fortunes out of thin air. I could encounter gold and silver treasures when I walked on the road. I have collected many good things over the years and put them on my left side. In the side hall on the side, I would like to invite you two to take a look."
Lu Chan said, "Okay, let's go and have a look."
There are a lot of gold and silver jewelry on display in the side hall. They are not ordinary gold and silver. Gold is goldware and silver is silverware. They are all fairyware made of metal. Jewelry refers to various fairy beads, which are colorful and jewel-like. Most of them own them. Twenty or thirty levels of restrictions are considered treasures even if you take them outside.
Zhao Gongming said: "Whatever you two like, you can exchange it with equivalent value. When doing business, Zhao pays attention to fairness and does not deceive others."
"Okay, let me take a closer look." Lu Chan walked slowly in the hall. Qingmei, the "little maid", followed him every step of the way.
Lu Chan was not very interested in gold and silver utensils. He was mainly interested in those fairy beads, because fairy beads were raised from fairy shells, including dragon beads, wood beads, and grass beads. Each one was hard-won. As for gold and silver vessels, only the runes on them are valuable, and there are some things worth learning from. Gold and silver are not valuable in themselves. The Lu family has a metal smelting plant at the foot of Yuxu Peak, which continuously extracts large amounts of gold powder and gold liquid.
While he was slowly appreciating the fairy beads, Zhao Gongming quietly took a few steps back. With a wave of his hand, some small holes appeared around the hall. Behind each small hole was an archer, with swords drawn and murderous intent everywhere.
Zhao Gongming's black face showed a ferocious smile: "Kneel down, don't move, hold your head in your hands, hand over the magic weapon and treasure!"
Before she finished speaking, Qingmei suddenly stood up, her figure swayed, and two golden dragon scissors appeared in her hands. Nine tails appeared behind her, and each tail was a fairy sword!
The space in the palace is limited, and the distance between the two sides is very close. Both the Golden Dragon Scissors and the Fairy Sword are artifacts with 44 levels of restrictions. The murderous aura they emit can penetrate the palace and spread hundreds of miles away.
Zhao Gongming's body turned into black mist, and an iron whip released countless whip shadows, hitting Qingmei and Lu Chan.
At the same time, "swish, swish", fairy arrows shot into the hall. The formations inside and outside the hall were also activated, and the entire hall turned into a magic weapon. It was in the center of the mountain-protecting formation, and various attack methods broke out.
If Lu Chan broke into this place alone and faced the attack from Zhao Gongming and the formation, it was hard to say whether he could escape. However, he is not alone, but has the assistance of Qingmei, the Immortal King.
Qingmei can stop Zhao Gongming alone, and Lu Chan is responsible for breaking the formation and clearing out Zhao Gongming's men.
Both of them were covered with "Taixu Divine Armor". The 45th layer of forbidden armor can be said to be invulnerable. Those fairy arrows shot from close range fell on them and made a "bang bang" sound, which only brought some impact. It didn't hurt them.
Lu Chan saw the door of the main hall closing, so he used the Sun-Chasing Immortal Step and slipped out of the crack in the door. He turned around and killed the immortal who was hiding outside the temple and shooting arrows. Then he killed the surrounding immortals.
Although Zhao Gongming has been operating here for many years, he does not have many family members and capable men. Because he is the God of Wealth on the surface, but secretly engages in the business of killing people and selling goods. This kind of thing can only be done secretly and cannot be seen by others.
Lu Chan sacrificed the Immortal Killing Gourd and shot 360 Immortal Swords in all directions, killing dozens of immortals in an instant.
The remaining immortals fled in panic.
Lu Chan threw the Donghuang Bell, which flew in the air and made a "dong-dong" sound. Those immortals who escaped heard the bell and were affected by the bell. They were in a trance and their consciousness was taken away. They held their heads with their hands and lay on the ground. on the ground.
Then, Lu Chan threw out a purple gold alms bowl and enveloped the main hall with his backhand.
The purple gold alms bowl imitated by the Lu family is more blue than blue. It has surpassed the magic tools held by Tang Seng and Fa Hai. It has 45 layers of binding restrictions and a wide space inside, which can accommodate the Immortal King and Immortal Lord. It can collect the opponent's magic weapon.
The entire hall was put into the purple gold alms bowl, including Qingmei and Zhao Gongming who were fighting.
Originally, the main hall was controlled by Zhao Gongming, and the war situation was not good for Qingmei. When the main hall was put into the purple alms bowl, the internal laws changed, and the thin threads surrounded Zhao Gongming. Those filaments of laws come from the talismans on the purple gold alms bowl. When separated, they are like long snakes scurrying around. When combined, they are like layers of cloud brocade, wrapping Zhao Gongming like a silkworm cocoon.
In her early years, Bai Suzhen was put into the Purple Gold Bowl by Fahai, and she faced a similar situation. She was in an ever-changing situation, and she couldn't escape despite all her efforts and efforts.
Lu Chan recited a spell, opened a small hole in the purple gold alms bowl, and let the green plum come out.
Then he threw the purple gold alms bowl into the Shennong Cauldron, and slowly refined Zhao Gongming with the help of the Shennong Cauldron.
The laws of heaven of the Shennong Cauldron are different from those of the Purple Gold Bowl. It has the ability to decompose erosion and refine immortals into elixirs.
Although, under normal circumstances, Lu Chan is not willing to use living people to make elixirs, he will not show mercy when facing some bad people. The great man said it well, I will not offend others unless they offend me, but if they offend me, I will offend them. This is a bizarre world, and some people who look like humans are not actually human beings.
