Chapter 149 - One Hundred Years of Immortal Cultivation
"Thank you for the generous gift of the True Lord."
Lu Chang'an received a few medium grade spirit stones and respectfully thanked him on the surface, his heart was flooded with oddities and a few moments of amusement.
A middle grade spirit stone is worth more than hundreds of lower grade spirit stones.
This casual gift is equivalent to several hundred lower grade spirit stones. For a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it is a great prize.
"Hmm."
Xiang Jinglong glanced at him lightly, maintaining the majesty of a False Dan Realist.
He didn't stop and didn't even ask Lu Changan his name as he flew to a certain direction within the city.
"Didn't recognize me."
Lu Chang'an could probably tell that Xiang Jinglong was simply happy and excited about his promotion to False Dan Real Person, and casually gave a reward to the first junior to congratulate him.
"The Hundred Illusion Mask is effective, facing the False Dan straight on, it didn't even reveal its face."
Seeing off Xiang Jinglong's distant figure, Lu Changan was satisfied.
Although Xiang Jinglong has a bad reputation, Lu Changan has no grudges against him.
Back then, Xiang Jinglong had robbed Master Hua Dan and helped Lu Changan take the blame, diverting attention from him.
Now, it is a small favor of a few hundred spirit stones.
From a certain point of view, Xiang Jinglong is considered half of his friends, or a quality anti-push bit.
More subtly.
From the intelligence, Xiang Jinglong somehow has a grudge against Yellow Dragon Mountain.
Tian Zhi Lou is not an ordinary intelligence force, its background is mysterious and spreads throughout the neighboring Immortal Cultivation Countries.
It is so powerful that even the Li Huo Palace has to be afraid of it.
Since Xiang Jinglong was mentioned in the information, it means that this person, at least in the dark, has had unfavorable or hostile words and actions towards Yellow Dragon Mountain.
A quarter of an hour later.
Lu Chang'an found a teahouse and sat down.
Being cautious of the spirit stones bestowed by Xiang Jinglong, his divine sense carefully examined them to make sure that there were no loose ends left behind.
Afterwards, he organized his harvest from his first visit to Prairie Immortal City.
"At the auction, I bid on a third-order Spirit Bamboo, and a Pill-forming Auxiliary Pill, 'Wu Qi Grass'."
"The purchases in the first three months yielded one Second Order Life Extension Pill and two Second Order Upper Grade Spirit Woods." "Materials for second-order upper-grade puppets, purchased a large number of portions, going back to impact second-order upper-grade puppet masters."
"In addition, the materials for the Face Residence Pill, gathered thirty percent."
Resident Skin Pill, Lu Changan because there is a key main drug, by the way attention, acquisition of materials.
All in all, this trip was full of rewards.
The expenses are also quite large.
In total, Lu Chang'an spent nearly 20,000 spirit stones.
Ninety-five percent of Foundation Establishment Cultivators can't afford to spend this kind of money.
He was the one who made a fortune during the Beast Tide, having sold Foundation Establishment Pills, as well as killing Huadan Masters and robbing cultivator gangs for their lucrative loot.
After this spending, Lu Changan had consumed most of the spirit stones he had saved.
However, half of the materials and second-order talismans that he had hoarded and invested in during the Beast Tide have not yet been sold now that the prices have returned to normal.
There was even an extra Foundation Establishment Pill.
This kind of strategic resource, he was not in a hurry to sell it when he did not lack spirit stones.
......
Half a month later.
Lu Chang'an returned to Wu Qi Mountain.
The first thing he did when he returned was to remodel the Aura Formation at Little Turtle Peak.
Each of the three main peaks of Wu Qi Mountain only allows one Foundation Establishment Cultivator to practice in principle.
Previously, in addition to Lu Changan, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Little Turtle Peak also had a second-ranked demonic beast, the Ground Rock Rat.
Demonic beasts have a much smaller need for spiritual qi to cultivate, and with the sparse population of Little Turtle Peak, the burden on the second-order spiritual veins is not enough to cover the burden of a late Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Thus, the other two peaks have no opinion on this.
Now, the Xuan Shui Turtle has also been promoted to the second stage, the burden of the Little Turtle Peak on the second-stage spirit vein will be increased by a cut, and it will appear abnormal.
With the assistance of the Earth Rock Rats, Lu Chang'an transformed a small spiritual qi formation underneath the cave.
By regularly adding a small amount of spirit stones to it, Little Turtle Peak's demand for Spirit Veins would be able to maintain a normal level on the surface.
After completing the formation.
The Xuan Shui Turtle can just conceal its cultivation on weekdays and cultivate silently and gently.
Inside the secret room of the cave.
Lu Chang'an, who has reached the age of 116, takes the second-stage Life Extension Pill he purchased this time.
This is the fourth Second Grade Life Extension Pill he has taken.
"Life extension for eleven years."
Lu Chang'an slowly opened his eyes.
With this, the upper limit of his lifespan in the Foundation Establishment Stage reached four hundred and sixty-one years.
Perhaps it is because of the high grade of the Second Order Life Extension Pill, the decay of the effect of repeated consumption is slightly smaller than that of the First Order.
Until now, Lu Chang'an had never taken a high-quality Life Extension Pill.
Because the effects of life-extension pills of the same rank cannot be superimposed, high-quality pills have become more and more precious, and almost never circulate in the market.
......
Lu Chang'an made a treasure talisman out of a third-order spirit bamboo called "Bitter Clear Bamboo" and two second-order spirit bamboos.
After the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, Lu Chang'an lit up the Nine Seal Tablet for the first time.
As the divine sense exceeds the normal late stage of Foundation Establishment, the drawing of second-order top-grade treasure talisman is no longer necessary for the shadow of the first soul to come down.
The effect of the first descent on him is getting smaller and smaller.
The second life has been lit for a long time, and its power is so powerful and unpredictable that it cannot be used easily.
Half a year later.
Lu Chang'an drew four quasi third-order treasure talismans and ten second-order upper-grade treasure talismans.
Together with the reserves previously contained.
He now had a total of thirty-eight treasure talismans.
Seven of them are made from third-order spirit wood veneer, which has greater power and potential for cultivation.
The previous three quasi third-order treasure talismans have been cultivated for more than ten years, and their power exceeds that of ordinary talismans, posing a greater threat to false pills.
Due to the good material, there is still considerable room for improvement after a few more decades of cultivation.
Inside the secret room.
Lu Changan was able to cultivate thirty-eight treasure talismans at the same time, and still had the strength to do so.
At the early stage of Foundation Establishment, Lu Chang'an can harbor 30 treasure talismans at the same time on a daily basis.
After the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, he can hold at least 50 talismans at the same time.
This is the advantage of mana growth.
......
After the treasure talisman is formed.
Lu Chang'an next focuses on striking the Second Order Upper Grade Puppet Master.
In the previous years, he didn't advance to Second Order Upper Grade Puppet Master, mainly because he didn't have enough materials to practice.
In terms of talent and divine sense, there were no shackles. After returning from Prairie Immortal City, he procured a large number of second-order upper-grade puppet materials, so he could delve into them with peace of mind.
Three months later.
Lu Chang'an spent a single material to refine a Second Order Upper Grade Puppet, which ended in failure.
When the refined puppet was activated, its power was wild and uncontrollable, and its limbs burst open.
If Lu Changan had not cultivated his Body Refining Technique to the sixth level, his physical body was comparable to that of a late second-order, he could have controlled it in time, and it would have almost resulted in an experimental accident.
Another two months passed.
Lu Changan recycled some of the parts and consumed half of the materials to try refining again.
This time, a turtle puppet was refined, but it was stable and controllable.
However, this turtle puppet's defense only reached the top grade of the second order, and its attack was only at the elite level of the middle grade of the second order.
It was considered a low quality second rank upper grade puppet.
Lu Changan's mental expectations were met with such an improvement.
A late second-order puppet that could enhance his means of protecting the Dao was only a milestone.
If he could conquer the upper second rank puppet master, and accumulate for a few more years, in the future, he might be able to try to refine a quasi third rank puppet, and his battle power would be comparable to that of a False Dan Realist.
......
A few days later, Lu Chang'an walked out of his cave and didn't continue to fight against the second-order upper-grade puppet masters.
Appropriate relaxation, combining labor and rest.
The hundred arts of Immortal Cultivation, the upper grade of each rank, is the same as the late realm of a cultivator, and it is difficult to break through.
It is equivalent to the mastery of that order.
If not for Lu Changan's talent and spare time, it would be impossible for him to cultivate to the top grade of the second rank within the normal lifespan of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Zee! Whoosh!
The rock rat's athletic figure drilled out from the cave, its eyes shining brightly, skittering around, waving its claws, eager to try.
"Oh? Want to impact the late second stage?"
Lu Changan signed a spirit pet contract with the ground rock rat and easily understood the other party's meaning.
"Full of essence, in good condition."
Lu Changan granted it.
Next, the Ground Rock Rat put down the work on the mountain for the time being and concentrated on closed-door impact.
Lu Chang'an specially set aside a secret room for it, and reinforced the forbidden system.
The ground-rock rat has also picked out a few of the top-quality medicines planted on the mountain as an aid.
The impact of a small realm, the movement and risk is very small, Lu Changan does not need to personally protect the law.
......
Half a month later.
Lu Chang'an proceeded to refine a Second Order Upper Grade Puppet.
Suddenly, he sensed a strong fluctuation of demonic power that was climbing rapidly.
In the secret room next door, a demonic wind swept through, emitting a sense of oppression that was comparable to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
"This step, finally crossed over smoothly."
The corners of Lu Changan's mouth spread with a smile.
The qualifications of the Earth Rock Mouse were comparable to a human's top-grade spiritual root. Over the years, Lu Changan had steadily supplied his spirit pets with food, but it did not exceed the standard, and belonged to the middle to upper level.
The ground rock rat is not a long-lived species, and its lifespan is similar to that of humans.
At this moment, it has advanced to the late stage of Foundation Establishment and is over 110 years old, so its progress is not fast.
Luckily, it has a solid foundation, and it was able to advance to the late stage of Foundation Establishment without the help of the Pill to Break the Ranks.
This point made Lu Changan feel gratified.
If this is the case, there is a little bit of hope that he can save up his energy and condense an inferior inner elixir in the future.
Compared to the Ground Rock Rat, Lu Chang'an didn't have such a good time.
Two months later.
The third time he came back to refine a second-order upper-grade puppet, he failed once again.
Even with talent, this phenomenon is normal.
If you want to achieve a high grade in all the arts of Immortal Cultivation, you need to spend money on all of them.
Talent, money, time and energy are all essential.
Certain cultivators have a good background and do not lack money, but they are often limited by their talent or time and energy.
Cultivators who are truly gifted don't need to study all the arts of cultivation.
Concentrate on cultivating the Way of Eternal Life, and if you want something, someone will naturally help you to make it.
......
After half a year.
Inside the secret room of Little Turtle Peak.
Lu Chang'an pieced together a magnificent, scale-covered, leopard-headed puppet in its entirety.
The leopard-headed puppet had dark red pupils in its eyes, and each of its hands held a heavy axe with a bloodthirsty impact.
"Learning from the failures of the previous times, all the details have been scrutinized over and over again, there should not be any major problems this time." Lu Chang'an exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath.
Opening the scale armor cover on the back of the leopard head puppet, he set a few medium grade spirit stones into it.
Lu Changan performed the Puppet Control Technique.
The eyes of the leopard-headed golem blossomed with light, the great axe in its hand was raised, and a heavy sense of oppression surged in.
Huffing and puffing!
The big axe in the hands of the leopard-headed puppet, haunted by a cloud of grayish wind, spun out and cut through the reinforced secret room's forbidding system.
Without harming the wall, it spun back into his hand.
"Second-ranked upper-grade puppet master, it's finally done."
Lu Chang'an's face showed joy.
This leopard-headed puppet specializes in frontal attacks, and the large axe in its hand can be used in melee combat, as well as in medium-range pirouettes to injure the enemy.
The previous second-ranked middle-grade javelin puppet was probably not a match for him in a two-on-one fight.
After all, its target is the late stage of Foundation Establishment, can be said to be the same level of large cultivator.
Certain late Foundation Establishment stage with deep heritage can even fight two or three mid Foundation Establishment stage.
A second rank upper grade puppet consumes spirit stones very quickly.
Lu Changan tested it for a few moments, confirmed that all aspects were up to standard, and put it into his storage bag.
He walked out of the cave.
He was so blessed that the Evergreen Mana in his body, after a round of changes over the years, had a slight increase.
The power of Evergreen Mana is comparable to that of the inner disciples of Golden Cloud Valley.
At this moment, he turned one hundred and eighteen years old.
"Cultivating Immortality for One Hundred Years......"
Lu Chang'an's mind drifted, and his deep eyes, which had no waves in the ancient well, rippled.
The introverted aura of his body loosened.
Not far away from the maid, Lan Rou, rubbed her eyes lightly.
In a brief moment, the white man in the field of vision, as if a hundred years old tree, upright and magnificent, emitting the vicissitudes of the precipitation and refinement of the years.
......
"In the first life, not yet living to this age, in order to compete for the opportunity to build the foundation, has fallen for several decades."
"The second life, this stage is still in the late stage of Foundation Establishment Cultivation, and is exhausting his efforts to plan for the chance of conjugation."
"This life, the same age of cultivation is not as good as the previous life, but the foundation is deeper, the state of mind is not hasty, the strength is even beyond a lot."
Thinking of this, the corner of Lu Chang'an's mouth spread a smile.
At this age in his previous life, only his cultivation exceeded this life.
The roots, heritage, and strength are not as good as this life.
"With the accumulation of a hundred years, my strength is hard to compete with during the Foundation Establishment period. In the face of a False Dan real person, I can also defend myself."
Lu Chang'an was confident in his hundred years of accumulation.
Although his cultivation level is not at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
However, the level of the Body Refining Technique is comparable to the late Foundation Establishment stage and can be used as a compensation.
Late Second Stage Demonic Beasts.
As a puppeteer, you can utilize the full strength of your puppet.
Possesses a prototype of a magic treasure.
Thirty-eight powerful talismans, with the lowest power comparable to ordinary talismans, and the strongest power close to a strike at the early stage of True Dan.
"Regrettably, there has been no progress in figuring out the Nine Seal Tablet in this life."
Lu Chang'an secretly sighed.
The mind consciousness entered the [Nine Seals Tablet].
The handsome man from the first life and the white-bearded old man from the second life were both illuminated.
Inside the third frame, a calm and serene man in white, his figure is hidden, not yet engraved and molded.
The remaining six frames below are blank.
"With my current strength, my focus for the next few decades will be to seek out the opportunity to achieve pandan."
After crossing the 100-year cultivation barrier, Lu Changan began to consider his next cultivation plan.
For ordinary cultivators, the middle stage of Foundation Establishment is still a long way off, and it is difficult to guarantee promotion to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Lu Changan didn't have this concern.
He has a long lifespan and low qualifications, so he definitely needs to plan earlier.
......
Zee!
The sturdy figure of a Ground Rock Rat scurried over from a nearby cave, interrupting Lu Chang'an's thoughts.
With a smile on his face, Lu Chang'an took the two letters and reached out to touch the fur on the head of the ground rock rat.
One letter was from Guan Qiaozhi.
Lu Chang'an hadn't received a letter from her in a long time, and the frequency of sending letters was getting lower and lower.
The contents of the letter, in a different form, described worldly experiences, deeds of virtue and good deeds. Another letter, from Zhao Siyao.
In the letter, it describes the latest situation of the war in the neighboring Immortal Cultivation World.
Lu Chang'an had been through two or three lifetimes, and paid close attention to the general situation of the upper levels of the Immortal Cultivation World.
The neighboring country of Beacon, which is far more powerful than Liang, is caught in the Immortal Cultivation War, which is also of concern to Lu Chang'an.
Some years ago, in the exchange of letters, he expressed to Zhao Siyao in this regard:
If there is any significant change in the neighboring country's cultivation war, I hope to be informed as soon as possible.
"The number one Immortal Cultivation Sect in the Beacon Kingdom, the 'Golden Sun Sect', the old and new generations of YuanYing ZhenJun, invited to battle the mid YuanYing born from the 'Endless Palace' in the Yan Kingdom - Chu TianFeng. "
Seeing the key content in the letter, Lu Chang'an's face was gloomy.
"The two YuanYing True Monarchs of the Golden Sun Sect fought two against one, but they were still unable to defeat Chu Tianfeng and retreated in defeat."
