Chapter 148: The Strategy of Revenge
Chapter 148 - Revenge Strategy
"Six thousand spirit stones...... Six thousand two hundred!"
Fire Essence Date, scarce and important amongst conjugation auxiliaries, is highly competitive.
"Six thousand six hundred!"
A yellow-skinned middle-aged man in the late Foundation Establishment stage made a strong offer.
"Hahaha! He Yuanwu? A False Dan Realist, competing for a conjugation auxiliary medicine, and you have to hide your head?"
An old man's voice containing a sneer came out.
"He Yuanwu?"
Lu Chang'an, as well as quite a few cultivators, cast their gazes towards the yellow-skinned middle-aged man in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
He Yuanwu, the fourth disciple of the Yellow Dragon Realist, was quite famous in the Yellow Dragon Immortal City.
However, since he was challenged to a draw by Tuoba Jin back then, he has since lost his sharpness and has kept a low profile.
After Tuoba Jin became a Jindan real person, He Yuanwu's "popularity" increased greatly.
The achievement of Jindan is a rare phenomenon that attracts a lot of attention, and even the neighboring Immortal Cultivation circles know a little about it.
Whenever someone admires the achievements of "Tuoba Jin", they will inevitably mention He Yuanwu as a whetstone and backdrop.
The story of the late stage of Foundation Establishment challenging the False Pill real person is a good one.
Not to mention, that battle had sharpened Tuoba Jin's essence and spirit, thus increasing his chances of winning the Jindan.
"Senior Mo recognized the wrong person. I am just a Foundation Establishment casual cultivator, not a False Dan Realist from Yellow Dragon Mountain."
The yellow-skinned middle-aged man was not humble and denied.
"Regardless of whether you admit it or not, this Fire Essence Date, do not want to get it easily."
Above the VIP platform, a crane hair and chicken skin animal skin cloak old man, hehehe smile, leisurely and comfortable appearance.
"The False Dan Ancestor of the Mo Family?"
At the scene, many cultivators recognized the identity of the old man.
"The Mo Clan had a grudge against the Yellow Dragon Mountain in its early years and was once suppressed by the latter. During the beast tide, the clan even gave birth to a True Dan cultivator."
The Mo Family is one of the seven great families of Liang, located in the area to the south of the eastern side of the Yellow Dragon Immortal City.
Many years ago, the prosperity of the Yellow Dragon Immortal City seriously affected the business of a medium to large-sized workshop of the Mo Family.
"Six thousand six hundred! Is there any price higher."
The auctioneer coughed lightly and reminded.
"Six thousand seven hundred spirit stones." The False Pill Elder of the Mo Family said slowly.
"Seven thousand spirit stones."
The yellow-skinned middle-aged man suspected to be He Yuanwu's pupils shrunk slightly as he continued to offer.
"Seven thousand one hundred!"
The Mo Clan's old man only added a hundred spirit stones each time he made an offer.
At this moment, the price of the Fire Essence Jujubes had clearly overshot the normal auction price.
After two or three more rounds of bidding.
The yellow-skinned middle-aged man spent more than eight thousand spirit stones to buy the Fire Essence Date. "Fellow Daoist He! I wish in advance that your master's closed disciple will be able to attain dan at an early date."
The Mo Clan's ancestor smiled and didn't follow through.
He was simply disgusted to make things less smooth for the hostile Yellow Dragon Mountain.
With the depth of Yellow Dragon Mountain, the strength and connections of Huang Long Zhen Zhen, it was only a matter of time before he wanted to get his hands on a pandan breakthrough item, and it was impossible to stop him.
The camel is bigger than the horse.
The Yellow Dragon Mountain is currently at most old and sickly, and is still far from extinction.
"Hmph, Old Ghost Mo! What a ghost! He Mou hid his identity and set out in secret, how did you recognize it?"
The yellow-skinned middle-aged man slapped the Fire Essence Date and simply stopped pretending, exuding the aura of a fake dan from his body.
His appearance also reverted to a fierce bald and strong man appearance.
"It really is He Yuanwu."
Lu Chang'an's eyes narrowed slightly, not daring to use his divine sense to check before.
He Yuanwu, as a False Pill Realist, was useless in scheming for Pill-forming objects.
This behavior of his must be for the sake of Fu Xuemei.
In the face of the Great Dao of Node Dan, the Earth Spiritual Root is just hoping for more than an ordinary cultivator.
If you want to achieve true dan and beyond, you still need to prepare seriously.
"Some years ago, although Fu Xuemei had cultivated to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, it would still take some years to reach the ninth level of Foundation Establishment."
Lu Chang'an secretly thought.
Lu Chang'an seldom paid deliberate attention to the information about the enemies who once blocked the path, so as not to be detected abnormalities.
However, he had a rough guess about this woman's cultivation progress in his heart.
Fu Xuemei was much younger than Zhao Siyao. This kind of cultivation progress has already been dragged down by her younger brother.
Nowadays, the power and prestige of Yellow Dragon Mountain has greatly diminished.
In order to save the Earth Dragon Beast, Huang Long Zhen Zhen consumed the True Elixir Origin and lost a lot of his strength and longevity.
The hostile forces will not sit idly by while Fu Xuemei successfully impacts the dan, and will either explicitly or implicitly obstruct the process.
If there is a good opportunity, Lu Changan doesn't mind secretly pushing to stop Fu Xuemei from reaching dan!
The reason for this is that it's not always necessary to kill someone to prevent them from being able to achieve their goal.
Fu Xuemei's compensation to him in the first place, including the Huanglong Pavilion VIP Order, had brought a value beyond a Fine Foundation Establishment Dan.
This woman's nature is not bad, in the Yellow Dragon Immortal City people's reputation is still good.
After all these years, Lu Changan doesn't have much of a killing heart anymore.
If he can do it once, and secretly obstruct Fu Xuemei's successful completion of the dan, no matter whether it is successful or not, this karma can be ended.
......
The competition for the Fire Essence Date, the dust has settled, He Yuanwu soon left the auction.
Lu Chang'an symbolically participated in the middle of the auction and made an offer once.
There are high and low values for conjugation auxiliaries.
Then, the second pill, named "Wu Qi Cao", was less valuable and scarce.
It can't be taken directly as "Fire Essence Date", which can slightly increase the chances of attaining dan.
The starting price is 3,000 spirit stones.
This time, Lu Changan really participated in the auction.
Finally, with a small premium of 4,600 Spirit Stones, he was able to win the "Wu Qi Grass".
Whether it was the Fire Essence Jujubes or the Wu Qi Cao, they were both only auxiliary medicines for the Crystal Condensation Pill.
As a high-end strategic resource, the Crystal Condensation Pill is worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.
The "Heavenly Pure Water" that Lu Chang'an traded from Daoist Tianshu to create the Pill cannot directly increase the probability of creating the Pill, but it can slightly improve the quality of the Pill.
Lu Chang'an has won the auction for the third-ranked spirit bamboo and Wu Qi Cao.
Lu Chang'an's purpose for this trip was achieved and he was not prepared to make any more bids; otherwise, even with a cultivation of "late stage Foundation Establishment", he would attract attention.
When Lu Chang'an exited in the middle of the auction, he was in the middle of auctioning a prototype of a magic treasure.
Among the participants, there was an acquaintance he recognized, Zhang Tieshan.
Zhang Tieshan had a disguise, so he didn't recognize him before.
The first time I saw him, he was in the middle of a journey, and he was in the middle of a journey, and he was in the middle of a journey, and he was in the middle of a journey, and he was in the middle of a journey.
......
This is the first time I've ever seen an auction.
Lu Changan went to the most famous intelligence force in Prairie Immortal City-Tian Zhi Lou.
This intelligence force has a mysterious background and is spread across the neighboring Immortal Cultivation Countries.
On the third floor of Tian Zhi Building, there was a reception room.
A black-skirted, cold woman in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment was responsible for receiving Lu Chang'an. "I am here to purchase information about the Yellow Dragon Mountain, preferably related to the Yellow Dragon Mountain's direct lineage."
Lu Chang'an opened the door and said.
This was not the Yellow Dragon Immortal City, and he had hidden his identity, so he didn't have to worry about anything.
"The Yellow Dragon Mountain's intelligence has become more popular in recent years, and this building has special summarization and organization. Intelligence confidentiality, divided into A, B, C three levels, the price corresponds to two thousand, seven hundred, three hundred spirit stones, you want to buy that piece of information?"
The woman in the black dress was calm and fluent.
"Level B."
Lu Chang'an said without a second thought.
With his worth, buying Class A classified information was completely affordable.
But if he wasn't a life and death enemy of the Yellow Dragon Mountain, or a hostile force with related interests, he wouldn't have bought this kind of information.
In order to avoid arousing the curiosity of the "Heavenly Knowledge Building", he simply took a middle-of-the-road approach.
"Sincerely favor seven hundred spirit stones."
The black-skirted woman accepted the spirit stones and handed Lu Changan a special jade cylinder.
"With this jade cylinder, you only need to pay a small amount of Spirit Stones for subsequent 'Grade B' intelligence updates."
"Understood."
Lu Changan's divine sense passed through the palm of his hand and entered the jade cylinder for a brief look.
The information in the jade cylinder contained the details of the members of the Yellow Dragon Mountain's direct lineage, their cultivation techniques, social relations, and current situation.
Including Yellow Dragon Mountain's current predicament, what enemies and spheres of influence they are facing.
......
Half a day later.
Inside an inn in Prairie Immortal City.
Lu Chang'an carefully reads the contents of the intelligence.
"The lifespan of the Yellow Dragon Master has at most thirty to forty years left. Grade A information, a more precise lifespan can be obtained with an error of no more than one year."
"Yellow Dragon Mountain's hostile forces include not only the Mo Family, one of the seven great families, but also the large-scale Chamber of Commerce 'Hengchuan Chamber of Commerce', the latter of which has the background of the Liuyun Sect."
"Personal enemies, led by the early stage JieDan loose cultivator 'Three Lakes Realist', several False Danes, and the Foundation Establishment stage is difficult to count, recording more than twenty little-known middle and late stage Foundation Establishment."
"Huh! How does Xiang Jinglong have a grudge against Yellow Dragon Mountain?"
Among these, Lu Changan saw a familiar and unexpected name.
The specific reason for this was not stated, and the contents of Grade B intelligence would not be particularly detailed. Or, one would have to purchase Xiang Jinglong's information to know the reason.
"Well, there is no name for me."
Lu Chang'an breathed a small sigh of relief.
Back then, Fu Xuemei and Master Hua Dan's calculations were more subtle, and the former offered compensation, which Lu Changan accepted.
Perhaps the Heavenly Knowledge Building had relevant information and speculations.
But Lu Chang'an had never targeted Yellow Dragon Mountain in these decades, no matter what he had said or done openly or secretly.
Even, never said a word of complaint.
Even if he was bugged, he could not be seen to have any thoughts of revenge.
......
The next day.
Lu Chang'an checked out of his room at the inn and rented another second rank upper grade cave in the city.
The cave area of Prairie Immortal City was not like the side of Yellow Dragon Immortal City, which surrounded the Yellow Dragon Mountain neighborhood, and was closer to real people.
The level of spirit veins here gradually rises from south to north.
The distribution of the caves is also not as dense.
The cave rented by Lu Chang'an was hundreds of miles away from the third level spirit vein where the JieDan real person was located.
The range of divine sense at the early stage of JieDan is around five miles.
At the middle stage of JieDan, it is around ten miles.
A few months later.
In the sky above Lu Chang'an's cave, the aura of heaven and earth was restless and unusually active.
The Xuan Shui Turtle is impacting the second stage.
The little abnormality of the heaven and earth aura was not at all noticeable in the Prairie Immortal City's cave area.
The strength of demonic beasts comes partly from their physical bloodline, so whether they are practicing or making breakthroughs, their need for heaven and earth aura is smaller than that of humans.
In Prairie Garden Immortal City, where false pills are more common, the breakthrough of Foundation Establishment is not very conspicuous.
Unless it is an impact on the foundation of a dan, and the heaven and earth are so obvious that it can startle the surroundings and attract more attention.
The cave itself has a second-order top-grade formation, and Lu Changan has also set up another formation to minimize the leakage of his breath.
The Xuan Shui Turtle's advancement time is more than 20 years earlier than the 100 years he expected. Fortunately, this can only be considered a small secret, when he cultivates to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, it will not be a problem.
In seventy years, it is still relatively slow to advance to the second stage amongst the top-grade and ground-grade demonic beasts of most non-longevity species.
During the Xuan Shui Turtle's attack on the second stage.
Lu Chang'an suddenly sensed and looked in a certain direction.
A few dozen miles away, a large amount of spiritual qi from heaven and earth converged, creating a swirling cloud that was about a mile large.
"Eh? Someone is impacting the JieDan?"
"The impactor does not have enough substance and pattern, it is only a small Jiedan weather......"
He shook his head slightly, not interested in paying attention.
Even if the dan condensation is successful, it is just a gray dan with no potential and cannot become a truly great person.
......
A few days later.
The aura of heaven and earth in the sky above Lu Changan's cave disappeared.
Inside the cave.
A surging wave of blue water lifts a large dark green colored turtle in mid-air.
The body shape of the Xuan Shui Turtle was obviously swollen by a circle, and its shell reached a width of one zhang two, similar to that of a first-rank top-grade Xuan Shui Turtle.
"In addition to the leaf pattern on the surface of the turtle shell, the vitality in the body is a few percent stronger than that of a Xuan Shui Turtle of the same rank."
Lu Changan had the Xuan Shui Turtle's illustrated information and secretly observed it.
"In addition, this Xuan Shui Turtle is not only good at water-based spells, the wood-based mana breath in its bloodline is also not bad."
Who would have thought that the sickly child in the turtle shell back then would not only thrive, but also become an elite amongst its own kind.
Half a month later, the Xuan Shui Turtle's realm has stabilized.
Huo wow!
After being promoted to the second stage, the Xuan Shui Turtle could perform the Water Flying Escape Technique and couldn't wait to fly inside the cave.
A blue water light carried it back and forth.
"There was a bang.
Due to the fact that it was just practicing and flying indoors, the Xuan Shui Turtle slammed into the stone wall of the cave, and the forbidden light trembled.
The turtle fell to the ground, four feet to the sky, hissing and weeping in pain.
Its head quickly appeared a swollen bag.
The rock rat appeared on the beam and bared its teeth with a disdainful expression.
Lu Chang'an smiled, ignoring the pleading and aggravation cast by the Xuan Shui Turtle.
The previous Xuan Shui Turtle was taken care of by Guan Qiaozhi too well.
Although it was not yet a teenager, it lacked some self-reliance and self-improvement compared to the Earth Rock Rats of the same cultivation level.
Boo Buzz!
The Xuan Shui Turtle instinctively cast a natural spell, a greenish-blue watery glow, emitting pure life qi, merged into the injured area of the head.
Only two or three breaths.
The swelling on the head of the Xuan Shui Turtle disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"The healing light of the water and wood systems? The effect is so outstanding......"
Lu Changan was slightly moved.
It was normal for certain tortoises to have both wood system abilities, but they were not necessarily good at healing.
The water and wood healing spell performed by the Xuan Shui Turtle was even slightly over the limit.
However, this is not a great aptitude, it is a regular natural spell.
In the following days.
Lu Changan conducted a preliminary test of the Xuan Shui Turtle's ability.
The combat power of its water spells was slightly better than that of a top-grade bloodline demonic beast of the same cultivation level, but not as good as most of the Earth-grade bloodlines.
Its defense ability, especially its turtle shell, is outstanding amongst Earth Grade Bloodline Demonic Beasts.
Its ability to conceal its aura is outstanding.
Its ability to escape is at the normal level of the Earth Grade bloodline.
Healing ability, a little overpowered for the race.
Especially with its defense, it is even more obvious.
Though not in combat.
In Lu Changan's simulation, it would be difficult to kill the Xuan Shui Turtle under conventional means when his mid Foundation Establishment self and the peak mid Second Stage Earth Rock Rat joined forces.
The key is to be able to resist and breastfeed at the same time.
......
This is the first time I've seen a turtle in the world, and it's been a long time coming.
Lu Changan waited until the lease expired before leaving the cave.
The Xuan Shui Turtle performed the "Turtle Breath" magic ability, completely restrained its breath, and put it into the Spiritual Pet Bag.
This Xuan Shui Turtle's aura-containing ability is much stronger than its counterparts.
At least, False Dan, who was not proficient in beast control, could not see any cracks.
It's not easy for an ordinary JieDan real person to notice the problem if they don't deliberately probe. Lu Chang'an had just flown into midair.
Not far away in the sky, a powerful spiritual pressure surged, accompanied by a terrifying air-breaking sound.
"False Dan Realist!"
"The dan power is patchy and impure, it seems that it has not yet stabilized."
Lu Chang'an subconsciously looked at it and guessed that it was the one who had previously impacted the Small JieDan.
Soon, a middle-aged man with a strong body and exposed wheat-colored arms came into view.
Xiang Jinglong?
Lu Chang'an instantly recognized the identity of this newly promoted False Dan.
Xiang Jinglong had just been promoted to False Pillar, and with his heart stirring, he flew out of the cave and let out a long roar to the sky.
Xiang Jinglong's face is rugged and slightly aggressive, plus his personal reputation is not good, so the surrounding Foundation Cultivators avoided him from a distance.
This makes Xiang Jinglong, who wants to show off his power as a real person and go to the city to find his best friend to fool around, slightly unhappy.
At this moment.
Xiang Jinglong realized that there was a young man in the late stage of Foundation Establishment in the vicinity, with a mediocre appearance.
This person sensed his aura and did not intentionally hide from him, his expression was slightly surprised, as if he was looking up to his newest real person.
"Eh? Sensed by this person?"
Lu Chang'an realized that he had been negligent for a moment and might have taken an extra glance.
Xiang Jinglong's flight direction was slightly adjusted towards his area.
Lu Chang'an had never intentionally dodged in the face of high realm cultivators.
"Congratulations, Senior Xiang, for achieving the Great Dao of JieDan."
Seeing Xiang Jinglong's gaze surveying over, Lu Changan maintained his respect and bowed slightly, arching his hand in salute.
"Not bad, courageous."
Xiang Jinglong slowed down in the air.
He was in a good mood and waved his big hand.
"You are the first descendant to congratulate a certain family, look at the reward!"
A few medium grade spirit stones fell into Lu Chang'an's hands.
