For Lu Wan, divine flowers hold endless mysteries.
But his biggest weakness is his insufficient cultivation.
Therefore, these days, in addition to practicing, it is practicing.
It's just that his Dao foundation is among the immortals. After it is completed, it will be perfect and there will be no room for improvement.
As for the realm of making a cauldron, he has not yet finished analyzing it, so this retreat is more about studying the path of making a cauldron and the various secret techniques he has learned.
"Although the Dao Cauldron's virtual seal given by the ancestor of the Bai family is a dead end."
"But when Supreme Elder Tu Yi broke through the True Mystery, the being behind him who came from nothing and reached the pinnacle of god-refining... also showed me a complete path."
"With this smooth road that leads directly to the peak of the God Refining Realm, it is not difficult to build a cauldron... and it may not be difficult to refine a God."
Lu Wan thought so in his heart.
Under the supervision of the Fourth Ancestor, he has also gained some knowledge in reshaping the physical body.
Nowadays it is possible to regenerate a severed limb.
But it’s not enough to create something out of thin air.
"It is really difficult for you to create things out of thin air. You have to analyze the composition of the human body...from the skin, flesh, muscles, bones, blood, spinal cord, internal organs, to the meridians and acupuncture points, all the compositions are meticulous and involve billions of people."
“If you haven’t analyzed hundreds of thousands of bodies, you definitely can’t fully analyze them.”
"Furthermore, it is analyzed that with your cultivation level, it is not enough to use the Five Elements magical power to create things, so you can only borrow the magical flower."
"Currently, there are still not enough divine flowers, which is a huge problem."
The Fourth Patriarch thought for a while, sighed and said: "However, it is feasible to settle for the second best."
Originally, the matter of reshaping the physical body relied on the Yin God as the foundation to extend the body.
It's like using the Yinshen as a skeleton to construct flesh and blood.
And this is also the most perfect physical body. It will be incomparably compatible with its own Yin and Spirit, will not cause rejection, and will have the characteristics of harmony between body and Tao!
From a certain level, it can be regarded as half an innate creature.
It can also be regarded as a category that is extremely close to "celestial beings".
"Then what does Patriarch mean by settling for the next best thing?"
Lu Wan whispered: "Looking for a physical body?"
The Fourth Ancestor said: "It must be a body of the cauldron level, otherwise it will never be able to bear my Yin Shen! Of course, it is best to have a body of the God Refining level..."
"Do you want Zhenxuan's physical body?"
"Where did the Zhenxuan body come from?"
"The great elder Tu Yi."
"Didn't he die outside? They were all eaten!"
"Then why did your old man not let him commit suicide in the first place to make room for you? Now that he dies outside in vain, isn't it a waste?"
"What are you talking about? How can I let him commit suicide?"
"Then why did you, old man, let me die? I'm just a Taoist, why do you ask me to kill a person in the realm of refining gods, and I can't harm his body?"
"Isn't this just a casual mention?" the Fourth Ancestor said in a dull voice.
"When I killed Yuan Li, you didn't tell me... Where can I find a cast tripod now?"
"At that time, I didn't fully understand this physical body." The Fourth Patriarch said: "There are many practitioners of the tripod-making level in the Ziyang Domain."
"Then you can't just catch a cultivator and kill him!" Lu Wan said helplessly: "My disciple is not a murderer. You, the old man, have been in my body for so long and you know my disciple well. I have always been kind-hearted and harmonious. Friendly, never kill anyone unless necessary, save three points in everything, do things..."
"Okay, I'll save these words for you to be more impassioned at the grand ceremony of reopening the Mountain Gate."
"Okay."
"Then do you want to find a casting tripod for the ancestor?"
"Zun Liu Ce of the Purple Yang Territory?"
"Why choose him?"
"In the entire Ziyang Territory, among all the tripod-making figures, he is the only one who has a big enmity with our Xuantian Temple."
"But he is an official of the imperial court."
"Isn't this better?" Lu Wan raised his eyebrows.
"You want me to take over his identity?" The fourth ancestor suddenly realized.
"The master has even supported his body, so what's the harm if he has another identity?" Lu Wan said this.
"Being an official will affect my progress." The Fourth Patriarch hesitated: "How can I delve into all kinds of secret arts?"
"According to the report of the informants sent by the disciples, Liu Ceyu is not doing his job every day." Lu Wan advised: "When you are not doing your job, why don't you use it for studying?"
"Is this possible?"
"If it doesn't work out, why don't you resign?"
"That's fine."
In this conversation, the master and his disciple decided on the life and death of the master of the domain.
The biggest reason why Liu Ce, the leader of Ziyang Territory, was chosen was that he was extremely hostile to Xuantian Guan for unknown reasons.
The previous collapse of Xuantian Temple was closely related to Ziyang Territory Mansion secretly adding fuel to the flames.
The second point is this person's physical body.
"His physical body will need to be transformed after he comes back."
Before the Fourth Patriarch took action, he had already considered the follow-up preparations and said: "His physical body, refined by magic power, should be able to bear the Yinshen of me, but his Dao Cauldron... was not cultivated by me, so it is not suitable." I am sitting in the cauldron.”
"Didn't you plan to use the soul-binding hall master's cauldron early in the morning?"
"Why don't I explain this to you?"
The Fourth Patriarch said so.
In fact, killing the opponent means that the body and soul will disappear.
The Dao Cauldron will also dissipate.
However, the Fourth Ancestor has mastered a secret technique from the master of the Soul-Retaining Hall, and can try to retain the Dao Cauldron.
According to previous inferences, the cultivation of the Lord of the Soul-Retaining Hall was not the result of his own cultivation, but that everything from his body to his soul had been transformed.
And this small cauldron should also be the Dao cauldron left behind by a fallen powerful man.
"I have only barely understood the method of retaining the Dao Cauldron, but it is difficult to fully deduce how to refining the preserved Dao Cauldron and make it suitable for another soul, or even another Yin God."
The Fourth Patriarch couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and then began to delve into the matter.
Tonight, Lu Wan planned to try and take the initiative to use the Chaos Heaven Source Wood to go to Cang Mingtian and his party.
After the Daoji was formed, the soul received an improvement.
So he wanted to try to see if he could take the initiative to control the time of going to Cangmingtian and returning.
If it is possible, then for me, my trip to Cangmingtian will be extremely smooth.
If it fails, then we have to wait until the tripod is cast.
After all, after casting the cauldron, it is time to truly warm and nourish the soul.
——
Cangmingtian.
The vast void is filled with fog.
I saw a bolt of thunder, suddenly appeared and turned into stars.
"It's done!"
Lu Wan couldn't help but feel happy.
There is no need to wait until the tripod is made, he can now directly ascend to Cang Mingtian.
Just when I was thinking like this, I saw three or five stars surrounding me suddenly dispersed and fled very fast.
"What the hell!"
"It's Gao Nianzu!"
"It's Gao Nianzu, the God of Plague!"
…
Lu Wan was startled at first.
He was thinking, how could Cang Mingtian's fellow Taoists be so well-informed?
Just a few days after the death of the ancestor of the Gao family, the news spread throughout Cang Mingtian?
So when he saw his own thunder star, he thought he was Gao Nianzu, and felt like he had seen a ghost?
But what about the word "God of Plague" at the end?
Lu Wan couldn't help but feel doubtful.
But he also knew that his false identity as Gao Nianzu could not be maintained.
So he transformed himself and condensed his body with the help of the secret method given by fellow Taoist Bao Geng.
This time, his appearance became much younger, as if he was middle-aged.
He became the leader of the Pluto Sect!
The power of thunder in his body also gradually converged, and was replaced by the water in the Five Elements Taoist Platform.
His breath became eerie and cold!
Because after achieving Taoji, he has become more and more proficient in controlling the eight magical powers, and can already easily change his appearance.
Moreover, the last time he appeared as Gao Nianzu, he had not yet reached the peak of Daoji.
Now he is at the peak of Daoji, and his soul concentration level is higher than last time, coupled with the power of the "Water Walking Dao Platform".
No one can identify him anymore.
"Let Master Pluto take the blame from now on!"
Lu Wan thought like this: "No, from now on I will give him the opportunity to be proud and famous in the world, and I will give him the Pluto Sect..."
In fact, his original intention was to make the deceased Tu Yisan famous.
As a newly promoted Zhenxuan, it was logical to come to Cang Mingtian.
But the outside world thinks that this guy Tu Yi is the Supreme Elder of Xuantian Temple.
If something goes wrong, wouldn't it bring harm to Xuantian Guan and bring disaster to myself, the innocent headmaster of Xuantian?
Therefore, he still chose to let Tu Yisan die in obscurity.
——
After completing the identity change.
Lu Wan walked forward.
It's about a thousand miles away.
He saw the illusory heavenly palace again.
And he finally understood why this time in the vast void, he encountered several fellow Taoists who were afraid of the God of Plague as soon as he came to this world.
That's because many Yin gods in Cang Mingtian are coming from all directions for the affairs of the Heavenly Palace.
After Lu Wan changed his identity, he also caught up with the guy who was afraid of the God of Plague.
The gloomy spirit was cold and full of vigilance.
But when he saw Lu Wan's figure revealed, he also restrained his hostility.
"Why are fellow Taoists following me?"
Only heard this Yin Shen speak.
Then the starlight evolved, and he turned into a fish, with a skinny body, like a dried salted fish.
When Lu Wan saw this, he knew in his heart that this guy's true form was actually a thing in the water.
But fish in the water should not be so thin.
"Your Majesty, Wang Ming, has met fellow Taoist."
Lu Wan bowed first.
Then he reported the reverse homophony of the word "Pluto" and turned it into Wang Ming.
"Jiang Li, I have met fellow Taoist."
The salted fish also spoke like this in response.
But after Lu Wandaoji was formed, his delusion-breaking powers became more and more impressive, and he immediately understood the origin of the other party's name.
Jiang Li?
Turn it upside down and it’s Lijiang!
Is this guy the Dragon King of Lijiang from the Daqian Dynasty?
With the imperial court's immortal treasure, you can only get the chance to visit Cang Mingtian once every ten years?
In an instant, various thoughts flashed through Lu Wan's mind, and he thought to himself: "When we first met, he deceived me and used a pseudonym, without any intention of being honest. This salted fish is really not a gentleman! "
After learning that this salted fish was the Dragon King of Lijiang who only ascended to the sky once every ten years, Lu Wan lost the idea of seeking information from it and headed towards another star.
"Fellow Taoist, if you stay here, do you know where Taoist Taoist Bao Geng is?" Lu Wan shouted.
"I don't know!" The Yin God responded and headed towards the Heavenly Palace.
"Why are you asking Bao Geng?" However, right behind him, Xianyu suddenly spoke and asked.
"I was invited by fellow Taoist Bao Geng to form an alliance with several friends, but now I can't find him." Lu Wan said this with a sincere expression.
"Among the friends you mentioned, is there Gao Nianzu?" Xianyu suddenly asked.
"Exactly." Lu Wan looked as usual.
"Look, you are also a fool, so be careful what you do next." Xianyu said this, then shook his head and tail, and wanted to stay away from Lu Wan.
"What do you mean by this, fellow Taoist, please explain me!" Lu Wan was confused and followed.
"Don't follow me. I have an encounter with Gao Nianzu, the God of Plague. Something will happen to you sooner or later. Don't get into bad luck." Xianyu was very wary of him.
"How did fellow Taoist Gao become the God of Plague?" Lu Wan was puzzled.
"Do you know who he met when he first came to Cangmingtian?" Xianyu asked.
"It seems to be Fellow Daoist Duan Zhang?" Lu Wan said hesitantly.
"Not long after, Duan Zhang disappeared. To be precise, he died." Xianyu sighed and said, "Then he met Bao Geng again..."
"What about Bao Geng?" Lu Wan was startled.
"No more." Xianyu said helplessly: "Do you think he is the God of Plague?"
"..." Lu Wan didn't dare to speak.
"But fortunately, this plague god is actually dead."
Xianyu said this, and then said suspiciously: "That's not right, wasn't Gao Nianzu killed a long time ago? Then the thunder star I just saw, shouldn't it be Gao Nianzu?"
It has been ten years since it was able to visit Cang Mingtian again.
The most important reason is that the Daqian Dynasty wants to compete for a corner of the Heavenly Palace as a place to live in Cang Mingtian.
And it itself was given a secret task, which was to monitor Gao Nianzu's movements.
Unexpectedly, on the day it ascended to Cang Mingtian, after secret investigation, it was discovered that Gao Nianzu was a plague god, and anyone who came into contact with him would not end well.
After Duan Zhang, Bao Geng disappeared.
More importantly, Gao Nianzu was able to clear his suspicions and was not a murderer...then he could only be the God of Plague.
He must be an alien who has cultivated himself into a Yin God through the Great Path of Plague Division!
Just when I was thinking like this, I heard that the direct descendants of the Daqian Dynasty who had just arrived in Cang Mingtian mentioned that Gao Nianzu had been executed and was easily killed by the Supreme Elder Tu Yi from the Xuantian Temple!
"A Gao Nianzu died, but a True Mystic Realm appeared?"
Xianyu sighed in his heart, and then there was the scene where he bumped into the thunder star and mistakenly thought it was Gao Nianzu ascending to the sky.
It thought like this, then looked at Lu Wan, and said: "The God of Plague is dead, but you have been in contact with the God of Plague, who knows what hidden dangers there may be? Anyway, you are asking for blessings, I am leaving..."
It went in the other direction of the Heavenly Palace.
Lu Wan couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you a faction of the Daqian Dynasty, here to fight for the Heavenly Palace?"
"Do you think I look like a salted fish?"
I could only hear the Dragon King of Lijiang sneer and say: "I have been waiting for ten years to come here. I am not here to fight and kill, but to practice... One day of practice here is better than one year of practice in the world!"
It's life is almost over and it doesn't want to fight hard.
It wants to strive to continue to accumulate foundation in Cangmingtian.
If it were in the human world, its potential must have been exhausted and it would not be able to reach the realm of Zhenxuan in its lifetime.
But if it can find enough resources in the former heaven, then there is hope that before the end of its life, it can have a glimpse of the true and mysterious realm, thereby extending its life.
So at this moment, it just wants to be a salted fish and find a place to lie down as soon as possible.
As for fighting for the Heavenly Palace, such a self-motivated struggle obviously has nothing to do with it.
