Chapter 125: Encountering an Enemy
"Master Teng?"
Lu Chang'an glanced at the distant JieDan real person of the Golden Cloud Valley, the middle-aged man with a ponderous figure and a reddish face.
This time when the Secret Realm opened, Golden Cloud Valley's losses were smaller than those of the other clans.
Zhang Tieshan nodded his head, looking cozy;it was obvious that this trip to the secret realm had yielded a good harvest. Zhao Siyao's expression was flat, as if she hadn't met her expectations.
Although she had some gains, she didn't get the key resources to break the stage at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Lu Chang'an thought to himself, "Honestly exploring for opportunities in the secret realm is not as efficient as killing people for treasures.
Afterwards, Lu Changan tested the third grade "Purple Dazzling Spirit Wood" and valued it at 3,000 to 4,000 Spirit Stones, and completed the transaction with Zhang Tieshan.
Although this spirit wood is of high grade, if it has no special effects, it is only part of the raw material for refining ordinary magic treasures.
Luckily, Lu Chang'an had prepared enough spirit stones beforehand, part of which was deducted with second-order talismans, leaving some surplus for the later purchase.
In addition to the third-order spirit wood, Zhang Tieshan also gave Lu Chang'an a jade cylinder, which contains the owner of certain resources.
"Fellow Daoist, how exactly did Chen Fuhai die?"
Lu Changan inquired.
Zhao Siyao said, "The details are unclear, this person stole and plundered cultivators from all sides and offended too many people. At that time, there were quite a few cultivators who chased him, several major clans and major Immortal Cultivation Families all had people involved."
Although Chen Fuhai's behavior had offended the public, such characters had appeared in previous Secret Realm Openings.
For the sake of the Great Dao of Ending Dan, renewing one's life for another few hundred years, there are even more outrageous things than this.
"When Chen Fuhai was being hunted down, Mister Zhang paid some attention and found a suspicion."
Zhang Tieshan murmured.
"Oh, what did brother Zhang discover?"
Lu Changan knew that Zhang Tieshan served in the Sect's Law Enforcement Hall and was experienced in pursuing people.
"The value of the belongings exposed after Chen Fuhai's death is only comparable to an unusual late stage Foundation Establishment."
Zhang Tieshan said.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chang'an couldn't help but make a guess.
Normally, Chen Fuhai has attacked, killed and plundered many cultivators, so he should be very rich.
"This kind of crazy behavior is completely unloving of this body of the boarding house."
"Eh? Chen Fuhai is a hundred years old, his body potential is average, at most he will achieve False Dan."
From this, Lu Changan suspected that the "Hundred Lodging Soul Compulsion" had shifted its target.
Even the plundered wealth has shifted with it.
The new host is probably among the Foundation Establishment cultivators who participated in the siege.
There are more forces and cultivators involved, making it difficult to line up.
Lu Chang'an put himself in his shoes:
If he is a Hundred Lodging Soul Compass, the first thing to do when transferring the hosting target is to exclude geniuses at the Earth Spirit Root level.
This type of spirit rooted person has a strong background in the master's school and gets a lot of attention, so the risk of being exposed is even greater.
Secondly, it is best not to host a cultivator from the Leaving Fire Palace.
There are Yuan Ying True Monarchs and powerful Jie Dan Da Cultivators in Li Huo Palace.
This time when the secret realm was opened, there were only a few Earth Spirit Roots.
It is best to look for a relatively young upper-grade Spiritual Root with good potential, as the risk is also much lower.
In addition, Lu Changan suspected that the Hundred Lodging Soul Compass's memories might hold the means to circumvent the inspection and harvest.
Otherwise, if those valuable items were transferred and left the secret realm, a real person from every major power would have personally sifted through them.
Before saying goodbye, Lu Changan sent a voice message to Zhao Siyao:
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, that broken turtle puppet, I'll help you repair it for free."
Earlier, Zhao Siyao had insisted on charging only half the price of a spirit stone in her dealings with him.
Lu Chang'an felt bad and wanted to make up for it.
Perhaps the puppet and talisman he provided to Zhao Siyao saved the other party's life at a critical moment.
But essentially, they had previously cooperated in a fair deal, and there was no real debt.
"Hmm." Zhao Siyao didn't object this time and handed Lu Changan a storage bag.
......
The entrance to the secret realm is still closed for half a day.
The Feixiao real person from the Fire Palace has long since returned.
In fact, it is just for show.
Afterwards, he returned to the Fire Palace to give an explanation to the Elders of the Law Enforcement.
Through Zhao Siyao, Lu Chang'an learned about the death of Xia Fan, who was the grandson of the Elder of Law Enforcement.
He was the grandson of the law enforcement elder of the Li Huo Palace, who was at the peak of the late Jie Dan stage of cultivation, and whose strength, heritage, and background exceeded that of his second life.
In the same realm, the family cultivators are naturally shorter than the clan by half, and it is considered to be qualified if they are not successfully challenged by a small step. Chen Fuhai in the secret realm, like a shit stick, suspected to have attacked the fire Palace of Xia Fan.
Lu Chang'an felt that the Hundred Souls Compass had intentionally messed up the situation to achieve its own goal.
......
Lu Changan examined the two jade cylinders of Zhao Siyao and digested the information contained therein.
Among them was information about the resource winners he was concerned about.
There are some resource recipients that are not easy to contact, such as the late Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Fire Palace, who has a high status.
There were also female cultivators from the Xuan Yin Pavilion that Lu Chang'an could easily be misunderstood if he contacted them rashly.
The female cultivators of the Xuan Yin Pavilion have outstanding appearance and temperament, and they are proficient in music, which is beneficial to the cultivation of their partners, and they often have suitors behind them.
Lu Chang'an prioritized focusing on the intelligence of non-clan cultivators, preferably scattered cultivators who were base builders.
"Xiang Jinglong, suspected to be the most rewarding base-building loose cultivator in this secret realm, obtained the main medicine of the Face Residence Pill, the main medicine of the Second Order Life Extension Pill, and a special Second Order Demon Core."
"Zhou Qingxuan, Imperial Beast Zhou Clan Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator, with her talent for Imperial Beasts, she gained a lot in the secret realm. Suspected of obtaining materials for magic treasures, auxiliary medicine for the chance to form pills."
"Hu Zhou, Golden Cloud Valley cultivator, obtained a natural magic treasure embryo, likely to be surrendered to the clan or acquired by the elders."
......
Lu Chang'an read dozens of intelligence and ruled out most of the targets.
He planned to ask Xiang Jinglong first to see if he could privately trade the main ingredient of the Second Stage Life Extension Pill.
The special demon core in his hands can be used as the main ingredient for the Foundation Establishment Pill, so if he is not too tight-lipped, he can give it a try.
Lu Changan had 70% of the materials for the Foundation Building Pill in his hands, if he gathered the materials and refined two or three Foundation Building Pills, he could realize a huge fortune.
Xiang Jinglong has a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivation and is a ruthless person with a good reputation in Liang's loose cultivator circle.
On a flattened sand dune, Lu Chang'an found this man.
Xiang Jinglong was about forty years old, with a strong body, bare malt-colored arms, and bright eyes, sitting on the sand dune.
Nearby are five or six Foundation Establishment cultivators, who are communicating with him, and the specific content of the discussion is all divine sense sound transmission.
Outside of the secret world, there are many cultivators like Lu Chang'an who are squatting to acquire the goods.
Some of them are representatives of chambers of commerce or large stores.
One of them, a flower-bearded old man, just happened to finish communicating with Xiang Jinglong.
Xiang Jinglong shook his head, seemingly unsatisfied with the flower-bearded old man's request.
"Fellow Daoist Xiang."
Lu Chang'an arched his hand in greeting, and when he saw Xiang Jinglong looking at himself, he transmitted his voice:
"My name is Lu, I would like to purchase the main ingredients and special demon cores of the Second Stage Life Extension Pill on behalf of my Dan Master friend, I don't know how to make the transaction?"
"So it's Fellow Daoist Lu, Xiang Mou knows you."
Xiang Jinglong's voice is thick and his face is calm.
Previously, Lu Chang'an had interacted with the two Foundation Builders of the Golden Cloud Valley twice, so he didn't disguise his face, otherwise he would appear to be trying to cover up his face.
"The main medicine of the Second Order Life Extension Pill can only be traded if there is at least a conjugation auxiliary. If there is a magic treasure embryo, or the main drug of the pills, that would be even better, Xiang Mou can appropriately make up the difference in price."
"Special Demon Cores, the two Fellow Daoists next to me are also interested, let's see whose bid is higher."
Lu Changan heard it and knew that the deal was not a good one.
Xiang Jinglong is waiting for the price, only the main drug of the Second Stage Life Extension Pill, but he also dares to mention the ending pill auxiliary drug and the embryo of the magic treasure.
The former is an important ingredient used in refining to increase the chances of ending an elixir.
The latter can be used to nurture the embryonic form of a magic treasure and refine it.
At the late stage of Foundation Establishment, a person with strong magical power can barely manage the prototype of a magic treasure, and its power is much stronger than that of a top-grade magic weapon.
If you can nurture a magic treasure in advance, when you are promoted to False Pill or True Pill, you will be able to make it.
The longer a cultivator's treasure is nurtured, the more powerful it will be.
As a result, Lu Changan is also paying attention to the embryos of magic treasures that are a good match.
"Forget it."
Lu Changan decided to switch to the next target.
Xiang Jinglong is a man with a bad reputation and not a good one.
Lu Chang'an didn't want to show too much enthusiasm for the main medicine of the Second Order Life Extension Pill.
As for special demon cores, he didn't have a rigid demand for Foundation Establishment Pills now. The main consideration was that he had 70% of the materials on hand, so it would be best if he could buy them on the go.
Lu Changan excused himself and turned to leave.
At that moment, he sensed a hint of hidden attention from the old man with the flowery beard not far away.
Lu Chang'an had an inexplicably familiar feeling.
The other party was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment cultivation, and he fused the Nine Seal Tablet with a quick sweep of his divine sense.
"Surprisingly, it's him!"
The flower-bearded old man's disguise was seen through by Lu Chang'an, and he was dismayed.
"Master Hua Dan?"
He didn't dare to use his Divine Sense for a long period of time, avoiding the distant JieDan real person who happened to be paying attention to this side.
Lu Changan guessed that Master Hua Dan had contacted Xiang Jinglong, most likely for the Life Extension Pill or the main medicine of the Face Residence Pill.
Especially the Face Resurfacing Pill, if it is made, it can please high-ranking female cultivators, or the female family members of high-ranking cultivators.
......
Before the entrance to the secret realm closes.
Lu Chang'an dealt with five more cultivators from the intelligence.
Among them were scattered cultivators, lineage cultivators, and sect cultivators.
Lu Chang'an realized that since he didn't disguise his identity, the slight reputation of a senior foundation builder would make the other party slightly more respectful in the negotiation.
Cultivators who came out of the secret realm were at a different level.
Through the second-order medium-grade talismans and spirit stones, Lu Changan was able to buy two things he needed.
A complete Second Order Upper Grade Demonic Beast Skin.
The weight of this one alone was more than enough for the Royal Beast Zhou Family to work together a few times to expand Lu Chang'an's reserve of Second Order Upper Grade Talismans.
In addition, buying the scarce Second Order Upper Grade Spirit Sandstone on the market is a sufficient portion.
This batch of Spirit Sandstone is enough to supply Lu Changan with more than enough to cultivate his Body Refining Technique to the sixth layer.
......
Soon after Lu Changan completed the transaction, the Secret Realm of Green Destiny was closed.
"Once in fifty years......"
Looking at the closed passageway, Lu Chang'an flashed a thought.
Fifty years from now, if he has the strength of a False Dan level, he will be able to walk almost horizontally in this secret realm where there is a chance to form a Dan, as long as he doesn't make a fool of himself.
Of course, this is only a fleeting thought.
Around the secret realm, the cultivators from various forces withdrew one after another, and the pressure of a real person level condensed above the clouds.
Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan left in the Golden Cloud Valley's huge golden boat.
The scattered cultivators like Lu Chang'an, who had built their foundations, flew low and returned the same way.
The speed of the flying magic treasure driven by the JieDan real person far exceeded the speed of all the cultivators, and in a short while there was no trace of them.
Lu Chang'an flew south towards the Black Mist Mountain Range's Breakpoint Canyon.
Half a day later, Lu Chang'an frowned slightly, sensing a tail behind him.
It was a gray-robed, cloaked man who was disguising his identity.
"Master Hua Dan?"
Lu Chang'an was surprised.
A mere man dared to strike his attention, who gave him the courage.
Although, the middle stage of Foundation Establishment crushes the early stage, it is difficult to guarantee a kill unless it is a sneak attack.
His mind merged into the Nine Seal Tablet, checking the situation in a large area around him.
He couldn't help but "eek" again.
"It's a bit interesting......"
Behind the tail, there is a tail?
