Chapter 119: The Hundred Souls Compass
Lu Chang'an received the two second-order upper-grade Spirit Bamboos and observed them briefly.
The Green Bamboo Sect's products are indeed extraordinary.
The two Spiritual Bamboos brought by Chen Fuhai were more spiritual than the ones Lu Changan had bought before.
While observing the Spiritual Bamboo, Lu Chang'an felt a vague and unknown sense of prying, and his mind throbbed.
It was the second time this feeling appeared in this world.
The last time was when he killed the White Jade Python in the Black Mist Mountain Range. Shortly after that, he encountered the mysterious Sky Moon Wolf.
"The quality is good, Mister Lu will buy it at the auction price, what does Fellow Daoist Chen think?"
Lu Chang'an didn't move and looked at Chen Fuhai.
At this time, that feeling of unknown prying eyes had disappeared.
"No need to, Lu Daofu give a normal market price can be." Chen Fuhai said with a smile.
Lu Changan spent 1,900 spirit stones to buy two second-order top-grade spirit bamboos.
From now on, his focus will be on third-order spirit bamboo, so he doesn't need to deliberately seek second-order top-grade.
After the transaction, the two of them took their relationship a step further and talked about more topics.
Due to the prying feeling he had earlier, Lu Chang'an became wary of Chen Fuhai.
If Chen Fu Hai used his divine sense to probe, it would be impolite at best, and he would definitely be able to detect it.
But Chen Fu Hai didn't use his Divine Sense, so that subtle prying feeling was strange.
Either Chen Fuhai has a problem, or it is a cultivator above False Dan who has secretly paid attention to Lu Changan.
A cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment can pose a threat to Lu Changan.
Lu Chang'an didn't dare to enter the Nine Seals Tablet with his mind in front of his face and merged with his second life to investigate.
"Fellow Daoist Lu's face is ageless and so well nourished, I don't know what Kung Fu he practiced?"
In casual conversation, Chen Fuhai seemed envious and asked curiously.
Lu Chang'an regenerated his alertness.
The method of health and beauty should not be too much, Chen Fuhai is still the first to explore the method of his work.
"It's just a lower-middle class wood system technique, which is mediocre in power and good at nourishing the skin. In addition, Lu mou usually cultivate life and nourish the nature, take the face of the elixir type."
Lu Chang'an's answer was watertight.
The health care work, together with the elixir of the face, nearly a hundred years do not fight, the body is well maintained, reasonable and rational.
Realizing that Chen Fuhai had problems, Lu Chang'an dismissed the idea of befriending a late stage Foundation Establishment.
"Mister Lu still has some purchases to make in Yellow Dragon Immortal City, so I won't bother you."
Lu Chang'an found an excuse and excused himself.
"This son, is indeed alert."
Chen Fuhai watched Lu Changan leave, and in the depths of his pupils, faint green spots of light appeared.
"If it involves Legendary Grand Cultivator Yan Donglai, one must be more cautious."
......
Lu Changan left the Green Bamboo Sect's compound and found a teahouse to sit down two or three miles away.
At this distance, Chen Fuhai's Divine Sense was far from enough.
He closed his eyes and his mind entered the Nine Seal Tablet. Enhanced by his second life soul brand, his divine sense spread to the Green Bamboo Sect's compound to check on Chen Fuhai's situation.
This kind of increase in divine sense senses must be focused and fused with the Nine Seal Tablet to work, and will consume the lit first or second life energy.
It is limited to sensory increase and cannot be used in combat.
Unless you allow the second life to descend into your body, you will consume the opportunity once every ten years.
The sect's sub-division quarters are at best manned by False Pill Realists.
His fused and increased divine sense is stronger than that of an ordinary early stage JieDan, and his use of divine sense is more skillful, ready to be withdrawn at any time.
Inside the pavilion, Lu Changan found Chen Fuhai.
His divine sense carefully probed and approached the other party's sea of consciousness.
Chen Fu Hai's senses were not aware of Lu Chang'an's increased real-life level of divine sense at the moment.
"This is?"
Lu Changan's heart jumped as he observed the other party's sea of consciousness.
Only to see, a turquoise, crystal clear bug floating on the surface of Chen Fuhai's Sea of Consciousness.
The insect was sinking a little bit in the sea of consciousness and was about to vanish.
"Who?"
The transparent insect opened one compound eye, the dense pupil of the eye, the ghostly light flickers, let a person's scalp trouble.
Before the bug could probe, Lu Changan decisively withdrew his Divine Sense.
The bug's soul fluctuation was not as strong as Lu Changan's increased divine sense.
He left the teahouse and headed to the vicinity of the Golden Cloud Valley Residence, finding an inn to temporarily stay at.
"That bug, could it be the legendary Heaven and Earth Strange Insect 'Hundred Lodging Soul Compass'?"
Inside the guest room, Lu Chang'an pondered for a long time, and found a target that might fit among the vast amount of memories from his previous life.
The Hundred Accidental Soul Compulsion, a Soul Dao-type Heaven and Earth Strange Insect, mysterious and unpredictable, is at least a Heavenly Bloodline.
Lu Changan didn't know much about this insect, he only read some rumors in ancient books.
It is said that the Hundred Lodging Soul Compass can host and control multiple targets.
This kind of hosting does not affect the independence of the target, including memory, intelligence, and cultivation.
This parasite is not good at fighting and relies mainly on the hosted target.
The higher the host's strength and potential, the better.
The two are complementary to each other.
"When I probed with my divine sense, the soul compulsion was hibernating in the depths of the sea of consciousness. If it wasn't for the coincidence, an ordinary JieDan real person wouldn't be able to see the abnormality of Chen Fuhai."
Lu Chang'an pondered.
Now, it seems that the Heavenly Moon Wolf was also the target of the Hundred Souls Compulsion.
Perhaps it was just a short time ago and was not integrated enough, so he sensed the disharmony at that time.
Back then, Chen Fuhai "escaped from death" and didn't come to Huanglong Immortal City to say hello, perhaps to avoid a breakthrough.
"Should we expose Chen Fuhai?"
"No, this insect is mysterious and unpredictable, it can board multiple targets, we can't offend it to death."
Lu Changan quickly shook his head.
Even if it is exposed, it has little credibility.
Legends have recorded that a full-bodied Hundred Soul Compass can host and control hundreds of living beings.
The one Lu Chang'an touched may not be the main parasite, and it is far from being a full body.
Otherwise, the target of the parasite would not be at the Foundation Establishment stage.
The original Sky Moon Wolf came from the Black Mist Mountain Range.
And the Black Mist Mountain Range runs across half of Great Qing.
The target of the "Hundred Souls Compulsion" may not be limited to Liang, but may also be found in the neighboring Immortal Cultivation Countries.
Lu Changan's final conclusion is:
Be wary of Chen Fuhai, just pretend you don't know.
This kind of strange insect is coexisting with its host, and it is not an exterminating spirit, so it will not bring great disasters to the immortal cultivation world.
......
A few days later, the Yellow Dragon Auction was held.
Lu Chang'an went over there to see if he could find any items he needed.
In addition to the Spiritual Bamboo and Wood, Lu Chang'an had a need for the Second Stage Longevity Extension Pill.
In addition, the Ground Rock Rat is at the peak of the early second stage and has been lingering for more than ten years, so let's see if we can buy pills and precious materials that can help us break through.
A few years ago.
Lu Chang'an communicated with the Zhou Family's Foundation Building, wanting to purchase a mid-second-order Earth Spirit Pill, or corresponding breakthrough resources.
The Zhou family politely declined, saying that the resources to help a demonic beast advance to the middle of the second stage would not be enough for the Zhou family to use on its own. This auction did not show any corresponding breakthrough items.
On the contrary, there is another item that can help the Ground Rock Rat.
"Black Blood Lotus Seed, can promote the enhancement of the Blood Dao Technique. This lotus seed is not suitable for most human cultivators to use, but some of the blood meat demonic beasts can slightly enhance their blood veins by eating it, limited to the top grade and the following blood veins."
"Starting price, one thousand two hundred spirit stones."
"One thousand three...... one thousand five hundred......"
Those who participated in the bidding included the Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Imperial Beast Zhou Family.
The Black Blood Lotus Seed is not a popular auction item, the limitations are relatively large, and the enhancement is very small.
"Two thousand three hundred."
In the end, Lu Chang'an quoted a price and captured the item.
The Foundation Establishment Cultivator who competed with him was none other than Zhou Qingxuan, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Zhou Family.
However, Lu Changan had hidden his identity.
Zhou Qingxuan didn't recognize him and only glanced at him in a cold and unpleasant manner.
After so many years, this woman still looks like the young girl she was at the beginning, perhaps she has taken the Pill of Resilience.
Lu Changan once heard that decades ago, two or three of the seven major immortal cultivation families wanted to marry Zhou Qingxuan.
The Zhou family naturally disagreed, it was not easy to cultivate the Foundation Stage Beast Genius, how can it be cheap to outsiders.
In addition to Zhou Qingxuan, Lu Changan also saw other acquaintances at the auction, such as Lin Lu and Fairy Shi.
......
After the auction, Lu Changan returned to the inn and restored the original appearance.
He took out the Black Blood Lotus Seed that he had bid for.
Zee!
The ground rock rat couldn't wait to get out of the spirit pet pouch, wagging its head and tail with a longing expression.
Lu Chang'an flicked the lotus seed out, and the ground rock rat accurately took off into the air and swallowed it in one gulp.
The Ground Rock Rat swallowed the Black Blood Lotus Seed.
Lu Chang'an observed for a moment and didn't feel any obvious changes.
The qi and blood in the rat's body was slightly enhanced.
After buying two Spirit Bamboos and Black Blood Lotus Seeds, Lu Changan didn't have many Spirit Stones left.
He had spent a lot of money on the Puppet Way.
He had refined a few second-rank puppets, but it was not good for him to realize them for the time being.
Lu Changan left the inn and prepared to sell some second-order talismans.
......
"Uncle Lu!"
A white-faced middle-aged man at the Foundation Establishment Stage flew to the Golden Cloud Valley Residence and shouted in surprise when he saw Lu Chang'an.
"Little Lu ah."
Lu Changan revealed a smile, he had seen Lin Lu during the auction, he hid his identity at that time and did not greet him.
Lin Lu warmly invited and entertained Lu Changan at the Golden Cloud Valley Residence.
In an elegant room, the two of them sipped tea and talked to each other.
"There are still three or four years to go before the 'Green Destiny Mysterious Realm' opens. Uncle Zhao and Uncle Zhang are both preparing to participate, my nephew's cultivation is shallow and I am not qualified to participate."
Lin Lu mentioned the situation of Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan.
The Green Destiny Secret Realm, Lu Changan was actually silently paying attention to it.
The life-extending items he needed, the chance to form pills, including the Third Order Spirit Bamboo, all appeared in the Green Underworld Mysterious Realm.
Most of the places in the Green Destiny Mysteries are in the hands of the sects.
Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan had to compete and pay a small price to get a place.
The top-qualified geniuses in the clan, such as the Earth Spirit Root, are not recommended by their elders to venture into the realm unless they insist on going in.
Cultivators with great backgrounds and good qualifications don't have to take the risk either.
"Uncle Lu, have you ever been to the Mu Family over the years?"
Lin Lu had recently visited Fei Yue Lake, and it was hard to tell.
"Haven't been there, but have heard a little about it."
Lu Chang'an hadn't been to Lake Fei Yue for almost ten years.
Over the years, the Mu Family has declined a lot, relative to the era of the two major Foundation Establishment.
The descendants of Li Erqing's children and grandchildren have become a powerful new lineage, creating either explicit or implicit conflicts with the old lineage of the Mu Clan.
The old lineage of the Mu Family originated from the descendants of Mu Renlong and Mu Maode, such as Mu Chengji, Mu Xiuyun, and Mu Yunfei.
The point of conflict is nothing but family resources and power.
Li Erqing could transcend beyond, but his descendants, including the female cultivator who married into the family, would inevitably fight for it.
A bad relationship between the two lines will inevitably lead to internal conflict and affect the development of the family. Huang Tankong's calculations before his death have already appeared.
"I heard: a few of Uncle Li's granddaughters-in-law, in order to curry favor with the Foundation Establishment Ancestor, have changed their children, who were born, to the 'Li' surname."
"Changing Li's surname?"
Lu Changan frowned slightly without commenting.
He is now completely detached from the Mu family and can't meddle in other people's family affairs.
The last letter Li Erqing sent him was a year ago.
His cultivation only reached the second level of Foundation Establishment a few years ago, and it took him more than twenty years.
"It's just an isolated phenomenon."
Lin Lu added, "Uncle Li was against it at first. Later on, probably considering the need to leave some bloodline immortal destiny for the old Li family, he only allowed those few exceptions."
After chatting for an hour or two, Lu Chang'an left the Golden Cloud Valley Residence.
He didn't want to interfere in the Mu family's affairs.
Standing on Li Erqing's personal point of view, there is actually no great right or wrong.
On that day, he went to Yellow Dragon Immortal City to sell some of the second-order talismans, earning spirit stones and purchasing some more supplies.
A few days later.
Guan Qiaozhi and Mu Bingyun came over to meet up, and the three of them left Yellow Dragon Immortal City by flying boat.
