Chapter 120 Trading Investments
Two months later.
Wu Qi Mountain, Little Turtle Peak.
Inside the cave, a strong aura of demonic power erupted, almost bursting through the restraints.
Guan Qiaozhi and Mu Bingyun's heart jumped, the body's bloodline surged with original fear and could not help but tremble slightly.
Inside the secret room.
A streamlined orange and purple rat demon, with a size comparable to that of a tiger or leopard, surrounded by a layer of dark yellow demonic wind, enough to crush gold and iron.
The fluctuation of demonic power emanating from it has reached the middle of the second stage.
"Not bad, the Black Blood Lotus Seed seems to be somewhat useful as well."
Lu Chang'an said with a smile.
In fact, the Earth Rock Rats stayed at the bottleneck of the early second stage for many years, and a breakthrough only required an opportunity.
Back then, the Earth Rock Rat's bloodline mutated slightly, from the original middle grade upstream, crossing into the ranks of the upper grade bloodline.
In Little Turtle Peak, a second-order spirit vein, the ground rock rat eats spiritual rice every day, and is occasionally given a little spiritual medicine to add to its diet.
As the workhorse, it doesn't lack exercise.
With its bloodline qualifications, it is only a matter of time before it is promoted.
The Black Blood Lotus Seed was the icing on the cake, making the Earth Rock Rat's top-grade bloodline even more solid and no longer a bottom-feeder downstream.
Ten days later, Lu Changan briefly tested the strength of the Earth Rock Rat.
Its ability remains unchanged, with its earth-type rat demon base, coupled with its mutated sensitivity and speed, and its stronger melee combat ability.
Lu Changan did not use talismans and other cards, only with the regular state, at most with this rat to play back and forth.
After leaving the gate, the ground rock rat came to the outside of the cave, glanced at the Xuan Shui Turtle by the pool, and slightly bared its teeth.
Poof! Wow!
The Xuan Shui Turtle was so scared that it flipped its shell and hid in the lotus pond, not daring to venture out.
"Don't scare the little turtle treasure."
Guan Qiaozhi guarded the edge of the pool, glared at the ground rock rat, and reached out to appease the Xuan Shui Turtle in the pool, which stuck its head out in aggravation.
The ground rock rat disdainfully burrowed into the side of the cave.
"A hallowed earth quality bloodline."
Seeing this scene, Lu Changan couldn't help but shake his head.
No wonder the Xuan Shui Turtle wasn't popular, back then, it made him buy turtle eggs with weak life at a low price.
This turtle is still quite a few years away from the second stage, and this is still on the premise that Lu Changan has accelerated its growth significantly.
Luckily, the Xuan Shui Turtle has a long lifespan, so it can be used as a spirit pet to accompany Lu Chang'an for a long time.
The positioning of the battle pet, there is the ground rock rat is enough.
......
In the blink of an eye, nearly a year has passed.
Lu Chang'an is 94 years old, the age of 100.
Inside the secret room.
Lu Chang'an finished his daily cultivation, and released his palms to release his Evergreen Mana to nourish the twenty-two precious talismans on the Spirit Wood table.
The earliest of these talismans has been cultivated for more than twenty years.
The latest one was cultivated in the last one year.
A year ago, the two spirit bamboo purchased from Chen Fuhai were of good quality, and Lu Chang'an drew them into nine treasure talismans.
At this time. A cloud cloud transport light, carrying a white dress female cultivator with picturesque eyebrows and a cool temperament, arrived at Wu Qi Mountain.
Not long after, the terrain is gentle and open small turtle peak, reflected in the field of vision.
Zhao Siyao's beautiful eyes looked downwards.
"What a leisurely spiritual vein dojo."
Halfway up the mountainside to the top of Little Turtle Peak, a patch of golden spirit valleys rolled over a thousand waves in the autumn wind.
On the top of the mountain, the spiritual trees were shaded with qi flowers and jade trees. All kinds of spiritual flowers and exotic grasses were planned in patches, a weather of blossoms and flowers.
In front of the cave, an area of ten acres of lotus pond, a blooming lotus, tender stamen condensation pearl, Ying clean and beautiful, as if the lake bathing in the holy fairy.
Wow!
A more than four feet wide dark green spirit turtle, surfaced, mouth holding a lotus seedling, sent to the pool side of a beautiful 襦skirt woman hands.
The woman in the jacket felt an aura fluctuation coming from the sky above the turtle peak.
A white-skirted female cultivator with her feet in the clouds, slowly landed on the Little Turtle Peak.
"Fairy Zhao!"
Guan Qiaozhi hurriedly got up and went forward to receive her.
Zhao Siyao landed on the ground, and under the guidance of Guan Qiaozhi, she took a seat in the pavilion next to the lotus pond.
A young girl in a green dress with a face as clear as snow served tea and pastries.
"You are?"
Zhao Siyao realized that the woman in front of her looked somewhat familiar.
"My junior Mu Bing Yun." The green-skirted girl answered.
Guan Qiaozhi accompanied her and introduced Mu Bingyun's identity in a low voice.
Zhao Siyao's lips pursed up in thought.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao."
Lu Chang'an greeted him from his cave.
Zhao Siyao got up and the two of them saluted each other and entered the cave.
Not long after, Guan Qiaozhi and Mu Bingyun served up exquisite dishes of spiritual food with a fragrant aroma.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, what a blessing."
Zhao Siyao couldn't help but sigh in admiration, and a hint of envy arose towards such a leisurely and comfortable life.
Lu Chang'an went from being a sect eliminator to a Foundation Establishment Stage and a Second Order Talisman Master.
Now, he enjoys a separate dojo with a second-stage spiritual vein, raising turtles and planting plants, cultivating spiritual trees and herbs, and eating his own spiritual rice every day.
This kind of life is something that not many cultivators in the sect can achieve.
For casual cultivators, it is a dream come true.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao doesn't have to be envious, this is just a superficial leisure. In addition to practicing every day, I also have to draw talismans, make puppets, and take care of this huge mountain peak, so it's a very boring day."
Lu Chang'an said modestly.
......
After the banquet, Zhao Siyao mentioned the origin of this trip.
"The Green Underworld Mystic Realm will open in two years, and I was lucky enough to get a spot. This time, I came here to buy talismans above the middle grade of the second rank from fellow Daoist Lu."
Zhao Siyao had a generous demeanor, and her eyes were filled with anticipation.
More than ten years ago, she asked Lu Changan about this matter.
At that time, Lu Changan said that he couldn't make a top-grade talisman yet, but that he couldn't say for sure in ten years' time, so he asked her to come to Mount Wuqi at that time.
With Zhao Siyao's understanding of Lu Changan, he should have a few degrees of certainty when he said this.
"Since I know that Fairy Zhao is coming, I have already prepared a set of talismans."
Lu Changan smiled and took out a talisman box.
Zhao Siyao opened the talisman box and saw that there were twelve talismans inside.
Eight of them were of second-order medium grade, all of them were of high quality.
There were also four Second Grade Upper Grade talismans.
These talismans involve attacking, killing, protecting, escaping, and breaking prohibitions, and are relatively comprehensive.
"This set of talismans of fellow Daoist Lu exceeds Si Yao's expectations."
Zhao Siyao said in surprise.
For the chance of the Green Underworld Mystic Realm, she had been preparing for it all these years, hunting demonic beasts and doing sect missions.
With the addition of this set of talismans, her overall strength and even her ability to survive in the Green Destiny Mysterious Realm would increase by at least 30%.
In terms of price, Lu Chang'an gave a proper discount, according to the market price of 90%.
If he were to sell them in bulk to large stores, he wouldn't be able to reach the market price.
"This time, thanks to the care of fellow Daoist Lu."
Zhao Siyao took out a bag of spirit stones and bought these talismans.
The cost-effectiveness of second-order top-grade talismans was actually very low, about five or six of them were equivalent to an extremely high-grade magic weapon, and they were very difficult to buy. Due to the limitations of materials and success rates, Lu Changan's reserves weren't particularly large.
Of course, second-order top-grade talismans were no longer considered a base card for him.
The talisman art Lu Chang'an had shown to the public was only a middle grade of the second rank, making it difficult to draw top grade talismans.
But at his age of nearly a hundred, taking out a second-order top-grade talisman is not so much of an overkill.
Zhao Siyao is his most trusted Foundation Establishment cultivator, with more than 70 years of friendship.
Back then, when the two of them "cooperated in refining pills", Zhao Siyao didn't covet the Foundation Establishment Pill, and even escorted him for a month as a senior cultivator with little chance of establishing the Foundation.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, is it possible to bring a spirit pet or puppet to the Secret Realm of the Green Underworld?"
Lu Changan asked.
"Spirit pets above the second rank are not allowed, they have to be counted as quotas. There is no restriction on puppets."
Zhao Siyao said.
The Green Destiny Secret Realm, is a shared resource of the Liang Immortal Cultivation World, and every quota is valuable.
As a clan cultivator, it is slightly less difficult to obtain.
In addition to competing and spending money to gain entry, at least 60% of Zhao Siyao's harvest inside the realm had to be handed over to the clan.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, are you interested in buying a few puppets."
Lu Chang'an said in a sales pitch.
"First rank puppets, not very useful to me."
Zhao Siyao had seen the puppets that Lu Chang'an had refined in the mountains and in the cave, and at most, they were of the upper first rank.
Lu Chang'an had been drilling puppet techniques for twenty years, and had been selling them in Wu Qi Mountain for many years.
His puppets are sold in Little Turtle Peak with second-order talismans, recovering the cost while making only a small profit.
There are many people in the Immortal Cultivation World who practice more than two skills at the same time.
However, most of them can only specialize in one of them, and the other skills are lagging behind.
Lu Chang'an was a second-ranked mid-grade talisman master and a first-ranked upper-grade puppet master.
......
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, please follow me."
Lu Changan brought Zhao Siyao to the secret room.
Taking out three second rank lower grade puppets from his storage bag.
"Second rank puppets?"
Zhao Siyao's eyes were clear and somewhat surprised as she glanced at Lu Chang'an without asking any more questions.
"Second-order puppets, they are very useful in the secret realm. It's just that, with the consumption of purchases in the previous years, plus buying this set of talismans from fellow Daoist Lu, I can't take out many spirit stones."
Zhao Siyao regretfully withdrew her gaze.
"The puppets can be sold at half price. Fellow Daoist Zhao only needs to help me keep an eye out for information on important resource recipients in the secret realm. If you can obtain one of the ones recorded in the jade cylinder, I, Lu, will buy it at a high price......"
Lu Changan handed Zhao Siyao a jade cylinder.
Outside of the sect, there are some places in the secret realm that are sold to the public at a high price, but Lu Changan has no intention of entering the secret realm to fight.
He was prepared to invest in his base-building friends who entered the secret realm.
The resources demanded in the jade cylinder include:
Third-stage Spirit Bamboo, Life Extension Pill Main Pill, Fulfillment Pill Auxiliary Pill, Magic Treasure Materials or Embryos, High Quality Raw Materials for Drawing Talismans, and so on.
It would be best if Zhao Siyao could get one or two.
If she can't, she can gather intelligence. Lu Changan will contact the winner privately from outside the secret world.
"This matter requires a little effort, the risk is not great, I promise to cooperate with fellow Daoist Lu."
Zhao Siyao nodded after reading the jade cylinder.
She picked two second-stage puppets and paid for most of the spirit stones, using two bottles of Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation Pills as a deduction for the rest.
Lu Changan estimated that the transaction of the talismans and puppets had drained the spirit stones from Fairy Zhao.
Two second-order lower-grade puppets were worth close to four upper-grade magic weapons.
Since Lu Chang'an offered a 50% discount, Zhao Siyao could afford to buy them after gritting her teeth and squeezing them out.
Among them, the turtle puppet with strong defense was bought by Zhao Siyao.
Lu Changan didn't care, it was just his earlier work, nowadays his skills are higher and he is already preparing to make a second grade mid-grade puppet.
The ordinary second-order lower-grade puppets are not as strong as his fleshly body.
After the transaction, the two of them, who hadn't seen each other for many years, chatted from the afternoon until the evening.
In the end, Zhao Siyao didn't spend the night in the residence and left.
...... A few days later, early morning.
Two Foundation Establishment stage recluse lights cut through the hazy clouds of Wu Qi Mountain.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zheng, Fairy Shifu is Mister Chen's ex-wife, and will definitely do her best to customize an excellent set of clan protection formations for your clan."
A gaunt middle-aged man wearing a beam crown was slightly solicitous as he led the way.
None of the cultivators of Wu Qi Mountain could not recognize this person's identity.
The Foundation Establishment Cultivator beside Chen Sheng.
It was a stocky, dark-skinned old man with a pigmented face that showed dark scars and pits.
