The seventh mountain city.
On top of the city, Taoist Li Shou stood with his hands behind his hands, looking ahead.
"You have accomplished great feats, and with Xuantian Guan behind you, your five elements of spiritual objects should be sufficient."
"Yes, before the end of the month, all the Five Elements Taoist Platforms should be completed."
"I heard that your Xuantian Temple and the above-mentioned Dantian treasures have ordered all parties to search for treasures. From this point of view... the most difficult Taoist platform in the Taoji realm should not be able to stop you."
"Um."
Lu Wan responded.
In the eyes of the world, going up to the Dantian Taoist platform is the most difficult and the last Taoist platform.
But in fact, he has already finished it.
But when it comes to the mysteries of your own practice, you don’t need to tell them directly.
"The Eight Great Dao Platforms, combined into the Dao Foundation, shouldn't be able to stop you for too long."
Taoist Li Shou thought for a while and said: "That person who is expected to become a ninth-grade Taoist foundation should be of great use to you. You can take it back to Kaiyang Mountain..."
Lu Wan nodded.
Li Shou looked strange and said: "Based on your recent progress in cultivation, it is unparalleled in the world. You will surely reach the peak of Taoism within a year at the latest."
"It shouldn't be a problem." Lu Wan's expectation was within two months.
"Then how long will the Ding Forging Realm stop you?" Taoist Li Shou couldn't help but ask.
"It's hard to say." Lu Wan thought for a while and said, "After all, I have never made a tripod, and I don't know how difficult it is."
"With your talent and the foundation of Xuantian Temple, Pindao guesses that it should be possible within ten years?" Taoist Li said solemnly.
"It should be fine." Lu Wan responded.
"If the tripod is completed, it will be a matter of hard work, accumulated over time, until it is completed." Taoist Li Shou thought for a while and asked: "If I give you another ten years, can it be completed?"
"Will the cauldron be completed within twenty years?"
Lu Wan nodded, thinking to himself, twenty years from now, should he practice god training?
Then I heard Taoist Li Shou laugh.
"Twenty years later, the cauldron will be completed. Such advancement in cultivation is enough to shock the world."
"But now you can kill the Dacheng Dacheng. When it's placed on you, it won't look so scary."
"Twenty years, no matter how you look at it, it is shockingly fast, but I always feel that it is too far away."
Taoist Li Shou had a complicated look on his face, and sighed and said, "You are so good at practicing cultivation. We should have frequent dealings in the past twenty years."
"Twenty years? What about twenty years from now?"
"Twenty years from now, when you have finished building the cauldron, Pindao will fight with you!"
"Oh?" Lu Wan thought for a while, and then asked: "With your talent and your background in Chengming Tianshi Mansion, will you still be unable to refine yourself in another twenty years?"
"Originally it was possible, but now I'm worried about it, so I have to stop for twenty years."
Taoist Li Shou took a deep look at him, and then said: "Whether Pindao can refine the gods, the cause and effect depends on you! Twenty years later, regardless of victory or defeat, after this battle, Pindao will be able to refine the gods!"
"What kind of technique do you think this is?"
Lu Wan thought for a while and said: "Choose one person, wait for him to grow up, fight again, and break through immediately? The techniques of Chengming Tianshi Mansion seem to be too mysterious."
Xuanqi, your uncle... Taoist Li Shou said with an expressionless face, "That's it for this time. I'm going back to Master Chengming's Mansion. Do you have anything else to say?"
"..."
Lu Wan thought for a while and originally wanted to mention the matter about the national master and the demon tiger.
The "missing" Taoist Li Jing suddenly appeared in his mind.
At that time, I wanted to mention this matter to the old prince, but the old prince seemed to sense it in advance and quickly refused, unwilling to mention related matters.
"You seem to have something to say, but you are hesitating?"
"never mind."
Lu Wan thought for a while and said: "If I have the chance, I will go to the Tianshi Chengming Mansion in person and see the old Tianshi before I mention this matter."
At the level of the demon tiger, at least Zhenxuan, may have the ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.
If this is the case, tell Li Shou, then there is a high probability that Taoist Li Shou will disappear halfway again.
Only when you meet the Heavenly Master face to face can you feel safe.
"If it is convenient, senior brother can report to the Heavenly Master for me in advance. As long as the Heavenly Master is willing to agree, I will go to the Heavenly Master Chengming's Mansion in person."
"whats the matter?"
"Old Heavenly Master should be able to know his miraculous plans."
"oh?"
Taoist Li Shou nodded, then stopped talking, turned into a light, and suddenly went away.
Lu Wan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
He did not directly ask Li Shou to tell him. First, he was afraid that it would be too involved and harm Li Shou.
Secondly, it is also a deeper consideration.
After various deductions, the Fourth Ancestor believed that the demon tiger was extremely advanced and had the ability to sense bad omens and take precautions in advance.
If the Heavenly Master is serious about his calculations, he will naturally know what he means.
If the old Heavenly Master cannot understand what he means, it means that this old Heavenly Master may not be as powerful as he had previously imagined.
If it's not strong enough, how can it fight against the demon tiger?
Lu Wan originally believed that Master Tian was the most powerful person in the world and unmatched.
But Li Yitu, the old prince, could not obtain the protection of the Heavenly Master.
Although the old Heavenly Master was restrained by some secret, it also broke the idea in his heart that the old Heavenly Master was the real immortal living in the world.
Perhaps the Heavenly Master is extremely powerful, but he is also a being that is subject to checks and balances.
"You did the right thing." Grandma Sanzu's voice sounded: "That guy's behavior is very different from the past, and I can't see through him anymore..."
"The Heavenly Master seems to have been greatly suppressed." The Fourth Patriarch said: "He may not be willing to interfere with the demon tiger matter. It doesn't hurt to let Li Shou go and find out first."
——
Cleaned up all the things in the Seventh Mountain City.
Before the next commander arrived, Lu Wan was already preparing to set off and return to Kaiyang Mountain.
He had already taken advantage of the fact that he was still the commander-in-chief to include the Seventh Mountain City within the scope of the dojo.
After all, this is due south of Kaiyang Mountain, directly facing the threat of the southern mountains.
Previously, Yuan Li was infected by demonic nature.
Now, with Master Gao as the guide, we are cutting off the Twenty-Four Mountain Formation.
He knew in his heart that the southern border was not impregnable.
Rather than leaving your entire back to the court's border troops, it's better to take control of it in advance.
"You have to make sure things are done in advance." The Fourth Patriarch said: "This place is very different from Qujiang County... The commander here often has to use the general trend of mountains and rivers and the power of military formations. He uses it too much, and it is inevitable that he will notice it. Clues.”
"So we have to return to Kaiyang Mountain in advance to complete this task of rebuilding the weapon talisman and containing the 'Tao Talisman'." Lu Wan said this.
"Then go back, you have been out for too long." Grandma Third Ancestor said, "Everyone in the world thinks that Headmaster Xuantian is at the top of Kaiyang Mountain, but he has never shown up. You are not in the mountain... and now construction is starting again in the mountain. , Eyes from all sides can easily detect abnormalities.”
"Disciple understands."
Lu Wan said this, took Bai Yuan with him, and prepared to return along the original road.
This time, he planned to take Li Qi with him.
But this young man seemed to have different ideas after experiencing the beast tide.
——
"Do you plan to guard the border for ten years?"
"Exactly." Li Qi bowed and prostrated: "Thanks to the respect of Master Lu, this disciple has become a disciple of Xuantian from a subordinate generation! I know that my current choice will inevitably disappoint Master Lu, and I have no right to decide whether to stay or go. but……"
"Then just stay."
Lu Wan waved his hand and said: "I know that when you used that protective divine light to clean up the birds in the city, no less than thirty elite soldiers blocked the disaster for you and lost their lives..."
"My disciple is ashamed of His Majesty, and I would like to..."
"You can still be my disciple of Xuantian Temple."
Lu Wan threw out a book and said: "This is the basic technique of my Xuantian Temple. You are good at practicing it. If you don't know it, you can send a message to Kaiyang Mountain."
Li Qi raised his head, then knelt down and kowtowed.
Lu Wan looked at the young man quietly.
After a serious injury, Li Qi's cultivation level dropped drastically, and he could not even reach the middle level in the Qi Refining Realm.
But it is not easy to survive through the beast tide.
The body-protecting divine light bestowed by the old prince, after being used, had the effect of cleansing the tendons and marrow, and accessing the meridians and internal organs, completely cleaning away the traces left by Li Qi's previous practice.
This son can inherit Xuantian Guan's skills and will not be affected by past skills.
"Within ten years, if you achieve the foundation of Taoism and return to Kaiyang Mountain, you can serve as the deacon of the inner sect."
Lu Wan waved his hand and turned around.
This is actually what he wants to see.
There will be chaos in the southern part of Daqian, and the Prince of Zhenyang will face turmoil.
Li Qi is left here as a chess piece of Xuantian Guan.
It might be of some use in the future.
——
This time, Li Qi was not the only talent that Lu Wan was interested in.
There are also outstanding juniors from other affiliated forces, as well as two or three monks who have no sect.
But what made Lu Wan feel heavy was Qujiang Luoshi.
Because the old head of the Qujiang Luo family died in battle in front of Shancheng.
In the last battle, he shouted to the only remaining members of the Luo clan: "The Luo clan of Qujiang is a guilty person. In this battle, you should fight hard. If anyone flinches, he will be killed immediately."
This meritorious service avenges previous shame!
Although the casualties were heavy, Lu Wan could see his determination.
"Actually, I don't hate the Qujiang Luo family at all." Lu Wan sighed and thought to himself: "It's just that at the beginning, the previous head of the family went too far and had to suppress the Qujiang Luo family in my name, Xuantian. , thus demonstrating to the outside world..."
"After returning from the Luo family's ancestral land in Qujiang, the disciples considered them as affiliated forces again."
"Actually, what's more, I want to squeeze the Qujiang Luo family and rebuild Kaiyang Mountain for me."
"But in fact, in the eyes of the disciples, the Qujiang Luo clan is just a subsidiary force."
Lu Wan rubbed his eyebrows and said to himself: "It seems different now."
He looked at the corpse in front of him, remained silent for a moment, looked at the remaining Luo clan members, and said, "Take your fellow clan members back to their ancestral land for a proper burial."
After a pause, Lu Wan said again: "From now on, the Qujiang Luo clan will be the weapon refining lineage of my Xuantian Temple."
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, looked at each other, and fell down one after another.
Becoming the weapon-refining lineage of Xuantian Guan, that is to say, they became a branch of Xuantian Guan just like the Changxi Yan family!
They are no longer affiliated, but have become members of Xuantian Temple.
In the distant future, members of the Qujiang Luo clan can be deacons, elders, true disciples of Xuantian Temple, and may even become headmasters!
They are already disciples of Xuantian Temple!
——
If we put it in the past, the family power would have become a branch of the sect and be regarded as being annexed.
But today's Xuantian Temple is very different from the past.
Becoming a branch of Xuantian Guan, they will usher in greater development.
"The head of the family once said that the Changxi Yan family can be regarded as a piece of cake, only the size of a palm."
"This cake belongs entirely to the Changxi Yan family."
"But after joining Xuantian Temple, it is possible to exchange this small piece of cake for an entire warehouse of food."
"Maybe this warehouse belongs to Xuantian Guan."
"But as a member of Xuantian Temple, the warehouse also has a part of them."
"When the food is distributed to the Yan clan in the future, its weight... will be equivalent to thousands of cakes."
When the other elders of the Qujiang Luo clan were still laughing at the fate of the Yan family in Chang Xi, which was even more miserable than that of their own criminal clan, the head of the family explained it this way.
The reason why the head of the family fought so hard in this battle was also because he wanted to achieve military exploits and become the second branch of Xuantian Temple.
"This is what I promised him."
Lu Wan looked complicated when he said this.
He indeed promised to the head of the Qujiang Luo clan after killing Commander Yuan Li.
During the battle to kill Yuan Li, the head of Qujiang Luo family and Bai Yuan led their clansmen to set up the formation and made great contributions, which could be regarded as completely washing away the sins of the previous head of the family.
And this meritorious service allowed them to become members of Xuantian Temple.
Now that the credit has been achieved, the old head of the family is also dead.
——
After Lu Wan left.
All the Qujiang Luo clan members looked at each other and sighed.
The old family leader actually doesn’t need to die.
However, he believed that he was already old and could not advance further in his cultivation.
Only death can make one's ambition clear!
More importantly, only if he, the old head of the family who completely controlled the Qujiang Luo Family, dies, can the entire Qujiang Luo Family be in chaos.
After chaos, only Xuantian Guan can make arrangements.
"The old master still wants to die to make Xuantian Guan understand... From then on, the Qujiang Luo clan has no leader. Only Xuantian Guan takes over can the overall situation be stabilized."
"Perhaps we are still giving way...after all, Venerable Lu has supported another lineage of my Luo family."
——
Walking outside the tent, Lu Wan sighed.
In fact, he also understood what the head of the Luo family was thinking.
The old family leader felt that his life was ruined and he could not live for more than two years, so he simply died on the battlefield to prove his ambition.
This can also make Xuantian Guan feel a little less wary.
It's like the emperor of the divine capital, who was afraid of the Zhenyang Palace, occupied the south of Daqian, became the overlord of one side, and had the intention of rebellion.
As for the Qujiang Luo clan, they were of the same clan, so it was more likely that Xuantian Guan would be wary of this.
"actually……"
Lu Wan rubbed his eyebrows and thought to himself: "I have never been afraid of Qujiang Luoshi... Is he too speculative? Could it be that Bai Qitian taught him?"
