The seventh mountain city.
This group of people came slowly.
Among the people, there are great differences in age. The old ones have white beard and hair, while the young ones still look immature.
Their clothes are all different, and they have magic weapons, swords, short whips and long spears.
Qi levels vary, and the exercises learned are obviously very different.
If you look at it carefully, it is a piece of loose sand.
These are the scattered monks who gathered in the Ziyang Domain to seek refuge in Xuantian Temple.
The leader is Tu Yisan.
"Master Lu, you have lived up to your great trust, I am here."
Tu Yi Sanren took a few steps forward and bowed to salute.
Lu Wan held him up and said, "Elder Tu Yi, there is no need to be too polite. You are already my Xuantian sect disciple, so you are a fellow sect member."
In the past, all the elders of Xuantian Temple made cauldrons.
Now that it has been rebuilt, there is currently no casting tripod, and even Yan Lin, the former head of the Yan family in Changxi, has been designated as the elder.
For the time being, Lu Wan decided to give Tu Yisanren the position of outer sect elder.
It's just that this old man has two low-level Taoist platforms and one medium-level Taoist platform. He is in his twilight years, his future is limited, and it is basically hopeless to build a tripod.
This position of elder is more of an affirmation of his elders.
"Liang Jin has been handed over to Chengming Tianshi Mansion, and now it should be handed over to Zhenyang Prince Mansion." Tu Yisan said in a low voice.
"Liang Jin's elder brother has also been taken away by Li Wei, the adopted son of Prince Zhenyang. The matter has been completed." After Lu Wan said this, he added: "Elder Tu Yi has really made a great contribution this time."
The former Tu Yi San people were apparently gathering practitioners from all walks of life to become the next batch of follow-up reinforcements for Xuantian Temple.
But in fact, under the instruction of Lu Wan, Tu Yisan acted secretly and traveled south alone, looking for traces of Liang Jin, and finally captured him.
The message sent to Chengming Tianshi Mansion was also Tu Yisan's handiwork.
This old man may not have a high level of cultivation, but he has learned a lot of skills and has a wide network of contacts.
After the incident with the traitorous general Yuan Li was settled, he returned to Xuantian Temple and brought with him the large number of monks who had gathered before.
"When I come here today, I don't just bring these people."
Tu Yisan said in a low voice: "Since Lord Lu set out and arrived at the Seventh Mountain City, various forces have successively sent many treasures... Now there are three more affiliated forces, but there are seven forces that want to Precious medicine.”
"Write down the account, and when I return, I will give you the precious medicine."
Lu Wan said that he carried the Five Prisons Soul Mirror with him.
In this battle, there were more than a thousand birds and beasts, including many Qi Refining Taoist foundations. They also killed three large casting cauldrons in a row, and the water from the underworld was considered extremely rich.
Then he counted the five elements of spiritual objects.
As he had expected, the spiritual objects needed for the Shui Ling Dao Platform were already sufficient.
And the earth-type spiritual things that were originally lacking a lot have actually been found.
The next batch will probably be enough to collect the spiritual items needed for the Wood Spirit Taoist Platform.
Speaking of which, fire-type spiritual beings are relatively rare and still far inferior.
"In retreat tonight, we can build two Taoist platforms one after another."
Lu Wan said secretly: "For practitioners in the Taoist realm, I have already finished casting the upper Dantian Taoist platform, which is the most difficult to build."
"The remaining Taoist platforms can only be completed with spiritual objects."
"Now, the Golden Spirit Dao Platform is complete, and the spiritual objects of the Water Spirit Dao Platform and the Earth Spirit Dao Platform are complete."
"With two more Taoist platforms, I can start preparing to combine them into Taoist foundations!"
"It is said that in Taoism, the first grade is the best."
"I cast the Immortal Grade Taoist Platform. All eight are completed. When combined into one, they must be above the 'First Grade'!"
Lu Wan felt more and more happy when he thought about it, and said: "Elder Tu Yi, take me to select a batch of five-element spiritual objects, and leave the rest to you for safekeeping! In addition, these five-element spiritual objects are also very useful for you to build a Taoist platform. It’s useful, you can choose what you need and build the Taoist platform as soon as possible!”
After a pause, he saw Lu Wan again and said, "If the Five Elements Taoist Platform is completed in the future, I will prepare the precious medicine for you to go to the Dantian Taoist Platform."
"Thank you, Lord Lu, for your kindness!"
Tu Yi scattered the people, extremely happy and bowed down.
Lu Wan became more and more satisfied with this old man.
In just a short period of time, he could notify Chengming Tianshi Mansion to come for help, and he could also capture Liang Jin.
Lu Wan was actually quite worried about what he had been told before, fearing that this old man with a low level of cultivation would not be able to do it.
But now it seems that this old man only has insufficient cultivation, but his abilities in all aspects are quite outstanding.
And more importantly, this batch of Five Elements spiritual objects will be of great help in building the Five Elements Taoist Platform.
The next Taoist platform for Tu Yisan is the Muling Taoist platform.
As an ordinary practitioner, you will inevitably develop greed.
But Tu Yisan can send all the spiritual objects with all his beards and tails.
Maybe he never had greed.
Maybe he suppressed his greed.
But whether it is the former or the latter, it is enough to prove that this old man is a useful talent.
"It's a pity that he is a little older, otherwise I would have focused on cultivating him, at least pushing him to the level of making a tripod."
Lu Wan couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he thought about it this way.
Then he asked Yan Zhen to arrange the new batch of people.
In the next half day, he summoned all the generals to reorganize various defensive matters.
Regardless of whether these generals were convinced or not, they could only do what Lu Wan ordered.
With Lu Wan's decisiveness in killing at this moment, if he was negligent, he would inevitably kill people under military orders to scare the monkeys.
"Grandma Third Ancestor, are the various defense arrangements arranged by you reliable?"
"Nonsense, I also participated in the decisive battle in the southern mountains. How can I be wrong?"
"Isn't this disciple afraid of something happening? If a monster attacks me when I'm building the Taoist platform, my practice will be ruined and my foundation will be damaged..."
Lu Wan said this and summoned the white ape to protect the law in front of the tent.
It was night, and he used the five elements of spiritual objects to build a Taoist platform.
——
Three days later.
The recent atmosphere in the Seventh Mountain City is actually quite strange.
Lu Wan, who took over the position of commander, went into seclusion on the second day and has not shown up for another three days.
As members of the Xuantian Gate, everyone here is considered to be the personal soldiers of the commander-in-chief from a military point of view.
But most of them have shallow cultivation and cannot suppress everyone.
This caused some mood swings among the generals on all sides.
There were even some reckless soldiers who were dissatisfied and had conflicts with Xuantian Guanmen.
With a border army of more than 10,000 people and a city with nearly 100,000 civilians, the situation is complex, and the changes in the situation secretly are not simple.
For practitioners below the Zhuding level, it can be said that the water in this seventh mountain city is very deep.
But on this day, the situation became simpler.
Because Venerable Lu, who once killed the three great cauldrons, came out of seclusion again and became even more powerful.
"I built two Taoist platforms one after another, and now I have six Taoist platforms."
Lu Wan closed his eyes slightly.
Shui Ling Dao Platform.
Supernatural power: Waterbending.
Manipulating all kinds of water currents, gathering, dispersing and combining, entering the water like a fish swimming.
You can pray for rain and blessing all living beings.
There can also be heavy rains that overturn an area.
Down below you can drive rivers, lakes and seas.
But in one thought, the rivers flooded and the sea roared.
The other one is the Tuling Taoist platform.
Supernatural power: Earth Dragon!
It can gather the power of the earth and change the direction of the mountains. If you are in one place, you will have a favorable geographical location!
The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the magical power. If it reaches great perfection, the earth will rise and fall in a single thought.
"Two Taoist platforms, and two great magical powers."
Lu Wan thought to himself: "The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the magical power. When I build the cauldron, I will have enough magical power and have the eight magical powers in my body... and with the magical flower, I may not be able to fight against the refining god!"
If he possesses the combat power of the God Refining Realm, then his weight as the headmaster of Xuantian Temple can be considered genuine.
Ever since he took over as head coach, and to this day, he can't help but bluff.
Although I have the divine flower in my body and feel a little confident in my heart, I can't help but feel a little vain and uneasy.
But as his cultivation level got higher and higher, and he killed Zhuding one after another, he became much more stable.
If you have the fighting power of the God Refining Realm, you will even be promoted to the God Refining Realm in the future, and you will be considered a true powerhouse in this world.
"Headmaster has this sacred tree, and as long as there are enough sacred flowers, the day of refining the god is not far away."
"Throughout the ages, in the realm of refining gods, and looking at the world, they have always been among the strongest."
"But since the collapse of the heavens, living beings have been unable to ascend to immortality. In the realm of refining gods, the level of 'True Mystic' has emerged."
"Zhenxuan also belongs to the category of refining gods, but it exceeds the capabilities of the 'refining realm' of ancient and modern classics."
"In today's era, the situation is changing, the demon tiger has become the national master, the demon species has appeared in the world, and the 'demons' that devour the strong in the world are also emerging."
"The combat power of the God Refining Realm may not be stable, and the leader must be cautious."
Grandma Third Grandma said this and told Lu Wan not to be too conceited because of his improvement in cultivation.
When Lu Wan heard this, he responded: "Disciple understands."
——
On this day, the commander-in-chief of the mainland came out of seclusion and became even more powerful.
All the ups and downs of the past three days have dissipated, leaving nothing behind.
Yan Zhen and others, who were originally wary of the soldiers of the Seventh Mountain, were immediately relieved and ordered to severely punish those who provoked maliciously.
Lu Wan also summoned all the generals to renegotiate the seventh mountain city.
"I, the commander-in-chief, know that when you first arrive and become the supreme commander here in a blink of an eye, you will inevitably feel dissatisfied."
Lu Wan said this, looked at everyone, and said: "You once worked under Yuan Li. He was a great commander, with great military power and high reputation. Even if the Zhenyang Prince's Palace labeled him a traitor, he would still be in your hearts. Still complicated.”
"Perhaps some people still suspect that it was my commander who framed me."
"Perhaps some people feel that it doesn't matter whether Yuan Li is good or evil, but the important thing is that he is the great commander in your hearts."
"And I, Lu Wan, no matter what you think, I only want one thing!"
He looked solemnly and said slowly: "Guard the Seventh Mountain City! Guard the border of Daqian! This is the responsibility of the Seventh Frontier Army!"
Everyone looked solemn, but no one answered.
Lu Wan stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked directly at everyone.
With his own cultivation, he has great power and suppresses many generals in the tent.
"Behind us are countless civilians, including your wives, children, children, fellow teachers, relatives and friends!"
"And in front of you are countless military achievements!"
"Whether it's for them or for us, there is no room for failure in defending the city!"
"What you think is beyond my control."
"But whoever dares to disobey my commander's military orders will be beheaded in front of the battle line and will not be tolerated!"
After a pause, Lu Wan said slowly: "You are dissatisfied with me, but it doesn't matter. Bear with it for a while, and when the beast tide passes, I will naturally step down from the position of commander and go back to be my true disciple of Xuantian Temple. .”
After finishing speaking, Lu Wan took out a method and waved it out: "This method has the effect of gathering the essence of flesh and blood. When you kill the enemy and clean up the battlefield afterwards, you can use this method. When you look back, I, Xuantian Temple, will 'refine flesh into elixir' , be rewarded.”
The previous words are to apply pressure.
What follows is a real benefit.
Rewards and punishments are clear, as it should be.
"Don't be surprised. As long as I am still the commander-in-chief, you will be the soldiers under my command. You will be treated the same as everyone in Xuantian's audience and receive the same rewards and punishments."
Lu Wan said this, and then said: "Since my late days, I have been practicing steadily in the Ziyang Domain until today..."
He sighed: "That's because the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Frontier Army guard the southern border so that the monsters in the southern mountains are not allowed to cross the border even half a step!"
"In the entire Daqian Dynasty, the ones Lu respects the most are the soldiers guarding the border."
"Yuan Li is the former commander-in-chief. Before I came here, I had great feelings for him. Unfortunately, he was possessed of demonic nature, collaborated with the enemy and treason, and used your lives as pawns. He wanted to harm me, so I had to kill him."
"If you believe these words, please keep them in your heart. From now on, you will obey military orders, defend the territory, and protect the people."
"If you don't believe it, you must obey the military order. If you don't, you will be killed without mercy!"
"Just get down."
Having said this, Lu Wan waved his hand and signaled everyone to disperse.
He summoned everyone today just to express his attitude, nothing more.
After everyone dispersed, Chu Zhou was found staying at the scene.
This young general had an ordinary background but had outstanding military exploits. His cultivation level was not too high, but he already held the position of deputy commander.
"Chu believes what the commander-in-chief said without a doubt."
Chu Zhou said this, and then said: "In the past year or so, I have wanted to go to war many times, but I have been blocked by the former commander-in-chief Yuan Li. After what happened before, I also suspected that he had something wrong. I didn't expect it to be... Collaborating with the enemy and treason, colluding with evildoers.”
Lu Wan looked at him quietly and said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, what do you mean by this?"
Chu Zhou paused for a moment and said: "Commander Lu, at such a young age, he already has such abilities. He has the arrogance to kill the three great cauldrons, and the confidence to drag Yuan Li's body back... Presumably, he will not be a turtle. generation!"
He saluted and said: "Next time there is a war, Chu is willing to be the vanguard!"
He has long been known for his warlike nature and fearlessness of death.
But Lu Wan didn't expect that he stayed to ask for help from the vanguard.
"Chu joined the army firstly to protect the border, defend the territory, and protect the people, but he was not without selfish motives."
Chu Zhou spoke up and said: "Chu wants to kill the enemy and perform meritorious deeds. Fight in exchange for skills and receive spiritual objects, so that he can advance to the peak of Taoism as soon as possible and seek to build a tripod."
Then he saw him salute and said: "Chu can serve the commander-in-chief and pacify the hidden dangers in the army!"
"what would you like?"
"Precious medicine for the Dantian."
"Can."
"Thank you, Commander Lu."
Chu Zhou sighed with emotion and then retreated.
But Lu Wan used his magical power to detect his thoughts, but it was not like this.
His reputation as a crazy Taoist boy is really quite big.
In just a short period of time, he went from mid-range Qi refining to the point of successively killing Zhuding.
I don’t know how many people want to join the Xuantian Temple, gain the respect of the master, and become the next Master Lu!
Chu Zhou is also such a person!
"Li Wei became the adopted son of Prince Zhenyang back then."
The Fourth Patriarch said with a smile: "It seems that this Chu Zhou will become Xuantian Guan's adopted son."
Lu Wan pondered and said: "This boy's nature is not bad. Once he has achieved enough military exploits, he will be inspected carefully in the future and he may not be able to be accepted into the family."
The Fourth Patriarch smiled and said: "It is not easy to bring the generals of the imperial court under your sect."
"Then it depends on whether he wants to give up the position of deputy commander."
When Lu Wan said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "This man is very talented, has a good temperament, and has high perseverance. Unfortunately, he comes from an ordinary background... His Taoist platform is already established, but his potential is limited."
Chu Zhou came from an ordinary background and used the methods of a medium-level Taoist platform to create his own Taoist platform.
Later, he joined the frontier army. Although he also relied on his military exploits, he obtained the method of forging superior Taoist platforms and the corresponding spiritual objects.
However, being held back by the previous middle-level Taoist platform, it was obviously impossible to achieve the "first-grade Taoist foundation".
"Second-grade Daoji is also difficult."
The Fourth Patriarch gave his evaluation and said: "He is following Li Wei's path, but the road ahead has been decided. Even if everything goes smoothly in the future, the highest level will only be at the third level of Daoji..."
If it doesn't go well, it won't be as good as Li Wei.
That is below level three.
It is difficult to build a cauldron, and there is no hope of refining a god.
——
At the same time, Xuanyang Domain, the land of the Gao clan.
The head of the Gao family looked at the news in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.
"That's awesome."
"His growth, even in a thousand miles, underestimates him."
"Second uncle, we are almost unable to control this ant-like boy."
When the head of the Gao family said this, his eyebrows were downcast.
In front of him was Director Gao.
"Based on my decades of experience in Si Tian Prison..."
Master Gao was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "I have never seen such a person before."
Once upon a time, he thought that if he wanted to crush Lu Wan to death, he would only crush an ant to death.
All along, what really concerned him was the great cultivator of the God Refining Realm on Kaiyang Mountain.
Even yesterday, he still believed that Lu Wan was not in the Daoji realm and was still weak in front of him.
As for the killing of the master of Juhun Hall who made the great success of the cauldron, there are only rumors but no evidence and should not be taken seriously.
But when the news came today, he was in a daze, and he finally had to admit that this true disciple of Xuantian Temple had grown to the point where he could kill Zhuding in a short period of time.
In one day, three large casting cauldrons were killed in a row.
Such a record was extremely dazzling even to him, a master of formation formation and the chief secretary of Si Tianjian.
If he met Lu Wan, could he still defeat him?
After thinking about it carefully, as a practitioner of formations, when it comes to frontal combat skills, he is weaker than ordinary people who are successful in making cauldrons.
Maybe he really can't defeat Lu Wan.
But if the formation is arranged in advance, then there will be few who can defeat him under Refining God.
"Have you grown to this extent without realizing it?"
Master Gao was silent for a long time before finally asking: "Has the ancestor come out of seclusion?"
The head of the Gao family muttered: "It should be in the near future."
Master Gao sighed: "The headmaster of Kaiyang Mountain is already a mountain that I, Xuanyang Gao Clan, feel is insurmountable... Unless the ancestor comes out of seclusion, it will be difficult to control him."
Having said this, he continued: "But even if the ancestor comes out of seclusion, it is difficult to say whether he can control Headmaster Xuantian."
"Right now, if we don't get rid of Lu Wan as soon as possible, I'm afraid that another high mountain will appear in front of me, the Xuanyang Gao Family, and I won't be able to breathe!"
"I'm considering going south in person, setting up the formation early, and looking for an opportunity to get rid of Lu Wan."
"Even if you die for this, at least you can take the first step and clear out the enemy."
He looked up at the sky and said solemnly: "Whether the follow-up matters can be successful or not depends entirely on whether the ancestor can defeat the headmaster of Kaiyang Mountain..."
"The time left for us is running out."
Patriarch Gao's eyes dimmed and he said, "My ancestor is approaching his longevity and can't hold on any longer."
