Chapter 131: The Immortal City Recruitment
If in the past, Lu Chang'an didn't bother with Chen Sheng's message.
This time, after hearing that this person had his legs broken, Lu Chang'an was in a good mood and went outside the cave to take a break.
Between Little Turtle Peak and Little Plate Peak.
Chen Sheng had a disheveled head, dark circles under his eyes, a collapsed nose, and dried blood at the corners of his mouth.
All that remains of his lower body is a "log bridge".
A mutilated body will obviously affect the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage, making it more difficult to advance in the future.
"Man Rong......"
"Even if you can't do justice, can you lend me some spirit stones to renew my leg."
Chen Sheng rushed to Xiao Panfeng and begged for half a day.
Unfortunately, Shi Manrong did not return to Wu Qi Mountain recently.
"Fellow Daoist Lu! You have finally come out! You can do justice to my little brother."
Chen Sheng reversed his direction and approached Little Turtle Peak, wailing and crying for justice.
"That bastard Zheng Wu, not only did he embezzle my Chen family's leftover properties, he also sneak attacked and crippled Chen Mou."
Zheng Wu, is the original name of Zheng Centipede.
"Are you sure it's Zheng Wu?"
Lu Chang'an waited until he was breathless from crying before he spoke.
"That bastard changed his face and disguised his identity, but his mana breath couldn't fool Chen."
Chen Sheng angrily rebuked.
"Oh, so Brother Chen has no proof?"
Lu Chang'an nodded his head gently and returned to his cave.
Ignoring the spitting Chen Sheng outside the mountain peak:
"This still needs evidence!"
"In addition to him, the other foundation-building Taoist friends at most do not like Chen Mou, but there is no interest......"
Chen Sheng in Wu Qi Mountain injustice for half a day, and finally gray left.
Lu Changan pondered, "Zheng Centipede was quite fierce in his early years, and did not kill Chen Sheng, perhaps because he was new to the country and did not dare to go too far and leave a bad impression. At the same time, I am worried that someone will break the lotus root and defend Chen Sheng."
"Chen Sheng had his legs broken this time, if no one comes out to speak up, it will be dangerous in the future."
......
A few days later.
Zheng Centipede carries gifts and pays a visit to the door.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, I heard that Chen Sheng had his leg crippled. You mustn't listen to his side......"
Zheng Centipede said.
Unfortunately, the pitted and scarred vicious face is not acting like it.
Lu Changan said, "Well played."
"Haha! If I had not been concerned about Fairy Shi and Brother Lu, Mister Zheng would have castrated not only one of his legs, but even the third."
Zheng Centipede simply stopped pretending and smiled hideously.
In the past few days, Fairy Shifu happened to come back.
Zheng Centipede then went to visit Xiaopan Peak.
He came out a quarter of an hour later.
Zheng Centipede sighed: Fairy Shifu didn't blame him for teaching him a lesson, but she politely expressed that it would be best to leave Chen Sheng alive.
Chen Sheng, as a Foundation Cultivator, used to be a rogue, but it did not involve competing interests, and the other Foundation Cultivators did not bother with him because of Fairy Shi's face. From the conversation, I learned that the division fairy has cooperated with Yellow Dragon Mountain in recent years, and was hired by the Yellow Dragon Immortal City and treated as a superior guest.
The Zheng Centipede, who had just gained a foothold in the city, did not dare to offend her.
......
Half a month later.
Lu Chang'an traveled to Yellow Dragon Immortal City to attend a large-scale auction and purchase puppet materials above the middle grade of the second order.
This time when he came to Yellow Dragon Immortal City, Lu Chang'an clearly noticed a different atmosphere.
Every area of the Immortal City was reinforced with formations.
The stores and markets in the city are not as busy as before.
The prices of houses and caves have been lowered collectively.
Even so, many Immortals are still evacuating from Yellow Dragon Immortal City.
"The beast tide has already shown signs, the Black Mist Mountain Range's periphery, converging an abnormal number of demonic beasts."
"Two months ago, in the direction of the Black Mist Mountain Range, it is suspected that the aura of a third-order demon has appeared......."
Lu Chang'an sat in the teahouse for a moment and learned of the relevant news.
To be exact, the beast tide was only in the making, far from the stage of eruption.
Inside the Immortal City, there are also more foreign cultivators who emit aura of death.
The beast tide is something that many cultivators avoid.
For some enterprising cultivators, it is a rare opportunity.
In order to cope with the beast tide, Huanglong Immortal City puts up a list of rewards and invites cultivators to guard the city and hunt for demons with a lot of money.
For array masters, talisman masters, and weapon smiths, they were all given generous treatment.
In the past, the lofty Yellow Dragon Mountain has lowered its stature and become approachable.
If one has a skill of the middle to upper second rank, one can even climb into friendship with the direct lineage of the Yellow Dragon Mountain.
......
Lu Changan disguised his identity and purchased some supplies in the city, including materials for puppets, talismans, and formations.
During this period, it was found that the price of magic weapons had increased by a relatively large amount, and talismans and pills had also increased in price by a small amount.
The prices of low grade materials related to demonic beasts have slipped somewhat.
It just so happened that Lu Chang'an had some stocks of magic weapons below the top grade on hand, which were basically stolen goods.
Taking advantage of the good market, he sold a few thousand spirit stones.
As for talisman drawing materials, Lu Changan was in no hurry for the time being.
When the beast tide comes, the price should fall again.
Six days later.
Lu Chang'an disguises his identity and attends the Yellow Dragon Mega Auction.
"This Taoist friend's cultivation is not bad, what is his name?"
"Are you interested in joining my Yellow Dragon Mountain's demon hunting team? The treatment and reward will definitely satisfy your honor......"
It was rather funny that when he entered the auction venue, his mid Foundation Establishment cultivation attracted the solicitation of the Yellow Dragon Mountain's direct lineage.
The middle stage of Foundation Establishment cultivation, placed in any power outside the clan, is a rare strong hand, can be called high-end combat power.
"Mister Xu is only here to participate in the auction, and has no interest in this for the time being."
Lu Changan bluntly refused.
This time, the auction was not as hot as in the past, but some of the top-grade and extreme-grade magic weapons fetched higher prices.
Lu Chang'an got two things he needed.
First, the Second Grade Life Extension Pill.
Secondly, a large chunk of Second Order Upper Grade Metal Stone in sufficient quantity.
This ore can be used by Lu Chang'an to build puppets, or to enhance the strength of puppets.
......
After attending the auction, Lu Chang'an left Yellow Dragon Immortal City without a moment to spare.
On his way out of Yellow Dragon Immortal City, he sensed the robber cultivators who were secretly spying on him, including the evil cultivators who were concealing the scent of their feats.
Lu Changan had disguised his identity, but his cultivation at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment had not been concealed, so ordinary robber cultivators did not dare to hit him.
"Ah! Help......"
On the way, vaguely heard the sounds of fighting and screaming.
"A beast tide is brewing, Yellow Dragon Mountain's energies are being tugged, and all sorts of bulls and demons are popping up."
Lu Chang'an had a sense of the deteriorating security environment around Yellow Dragon Immortal City.
This was also a sign of Yellow Dragon Mountain's declining dominance.
......
Returning to Wu Qi Mountain, Little Turtle Peak.
Inside the secret room, Lu Chang'an took the third Second Order Life Extension Pill of this life.
Previously, the first and second second-order life-extension pills extended his life by twenty-three years and eighteen years respectively.
The third second-order Life Extension Pill was taken. A few moments later.
Lu Chang'an seemed to have awakened in the cycle of years, clearly feeling the amount of increase in the upper limit of his lifespan.
"Fourteen and a half years of life extension."
"The total lifespan of the Foundation Establishment Stage has reached four hundred and fifty years."
Lu Chang'an once again sensed the slight enhancement of the Evergreen Mana within his body.
......
One year later.
Lu Chang'an operated his Evergreen Mana to contain the twenty-four Treasure Talismans on the Spirit Wood Table.
Three of these talismans are quasi third-order talisman embryos that have been cultivated for more than seven years, and their power exceeds that of ordinary talisman treasures, posing a threat to False Pills.
The other twenty-one talismans are second-order upper-grade talisman embryos, the earliest of which have been cultivated for more than thirty years, and the worst is an entry-level talisman treasure's power to begin with.
Of course, these treasure talismans were all disposable.
Normal talisman treasures, however, can be used several times.
After harboring the talismans, Lu Changan and the Xuan Shui Turtle walked out of the cave together.
After Lu Changan's middle stage of Foundation Establishment, the Xuan Shui Turtle's cultivation speed increased drastically, nearly twice as fast as its normal counterpart.
Lu Changan had a feeling that the cultivation of this turtle was approaching the limit of the late first stage.
The width of the Xuan Shui Turtle is also close to half a zhang, so as a spirit pet mount, there is no problem.
However, a late first stage Xuan Shui Turtle can only briefly vacate the air.
It must be promoted to the second rank before it can comfortably fly on the road with a human.
Zee!
The ground rock rat came over with a letter in its mouth.
Lu Chang'an took it and saw that it was sent by Mu Bing Yun again.
In the past two years, Mu Bing Yun has sent a letter once every half a year on average, reminiscing about the past, stating the current situation, or asking for advice.
Lu Changan sometimes do not reply, mood is good, then reply to the letter to answer one or two.
"The situation of the Mu family in Fei Yue Lake has basically stabilized."
Lu Chang'an sat on the back of the Xuan Shui Turtle, the latter swam smoothly into the lotus pond with a slight sense of undulation.
After Mu Bing Yun built her foundation, she and Li Erqing respected each other, and their relationship was quite amicable.
The old line of the Mu Clan has a backbone, and they have the courage to fight against the Li Clan and compete for power and resources.
Both the old and new factions have foundation stage, so the competition is relatively fair.
Of course, the conflict between the two old and new factions and their previous grudges have not been resolved at all, but only in a relatively balanced state.
Li Erqing's offspring, some vested interests held in the Mu family, not willing to spit out.
But in a balanced situation, the Mu family internal conflict is reduced, there are two major foundation-building lead, the overall development forward.
......
Two days later.
Lu Chang'an received a transmission note flying from Little Dan Peak.
Master Dan Lin Ye invited Lu Chang'an to his residence.
Of the three main peaks of Wu Qi Mountain, the master of Little Dan Peak has always had the highest seniority and status.
One could even call it a mountain master.
Lu Changan arrived at Little Dan Peak and realized that Shi Manrong had also arrived.
The three Peak Masters took their seats in the cave.
Due to the fact that the three foundations were busy with their own lives, there were not many such gatherings.
Lin Ye was much older than when we first met thirty years ago, and already had a head full of white hair.
Shi Manrong has basically remained unchanged, with her green silk pulled up high, and her body is graceful, dignified and tranquil.
Lin Ye is indeed much older;
And Shi Manrong, I heard that some years ago she ate an elixir to keep her face intact.
The three of them had a nice and pleasant conversation.
Until Lin Ye announced an unexpected news.
"Fellow Daoists, from now on, this Wu Qi Mountain will be in your hands. Mister Lin is ready to return to his homeland and take care of himself."
"Master Lin Dan, don't joke, are you confirming that you want to withdraw your rent and leave Wu Qi Mountain?"
Lu Chang'an froze for a moment and confirmed.
In his senses, Lin Ye still had a life expectancy of one armor, of which there was presumably a life extension pill to increase his life.
At this age, the hope of attaining the dan is indeed small, some people choose to fight for it, some choose to enjoy it in peace.
"I have already applied to the deacon of Golden Cloud Valley. The next one year buffer period, you two can discuss on your own, choose a person to share a room."
Lin Ye had obviously thought long and hard about moving away from Mount Wu Qi.
Lu Changan and Shi Manrong had no choice but to accept this fact.
Shi Manrong acted bashfully, "My concubine will be based in Huanglong Immortal City for the past few years, assisting Huanglong Mountain in laying down formations, and in the future, Wu Qishan will come back less." "Fellow Daoist Lu, the vacant main peak, its co-owner candidate, let's leave it to you to make the decision."
Hearing the remarks of the two, Lu Chang'an was caught off guard and was slightly speechless.
A seniority of the oldest dan master, want to move away from Wu Qi Mountain, go home to old age.
The remaining array genius, hired by the Yellow Dragon Immortal City, is equivalent to a long-term business trip, giving up the right to speak, and may also return the lease in the future.
In this way, the decision-making power of leasing the new mountain falls into Lu Changan's hands.
Lu Chang'an didn't expect it either.
After only thirty years, he might become the most senior peak master of Wu Qi Mountain.
