Chapter 168: Cow Ghosts and Snake Gods
Chapter 168 - Cow Ghosts, Snakes and Gods
Lu Changan strengthened the formation of Little Turtle Peak with two main considerations in mind:
Firstly, the price of talismans had risen significantly, and as his own family had made a war fortune, it was inevitable that he would show his wealth somewhat and be speculated about one or two things. In fact, Lu Chang'an earned much more than the outside world imagined.
Secondly, due to the fact that the sects and major families have gone to war and dispatched a large number of people, their deterrence and control over the territory of Liang will more or less slip a bit.
According to Lu Changan's experience: by that time, the sect's energy and manpower will be pulled by the Beacon Kingdom, and some evil spirits will inevitably emerge from within the Liang Kingdom.
A similar experience had happened during the Little Beast Tide.
At that time, the neighboring areas near the Black Mist Mountain Range were plagued with chaos, with robber cultivators and petty criminals taking advantage of the situation.
The "Fox Valley Murder Case" back then was the chaos that occurred around Wu Qi Mountain.
The next half month.
The elegant and beautiful figure of Fairy Shifu was busy at Little Turtle Peak.
Lu Changan asked the Earth Rock Rat and the Xuan Shui Turtle to assist him when he set up the formation bases.
Fairy Shifu was slightly tired and wiped the sweat from her forehead as she traveled back and forth to set up the formations every day.
Lu Chang'an sometimes invited her to his study to enjoy tea and rest for half an hour.
Invisibly, the two of them had more chances to interact with each other.
Every time Fairy Shifu took a break in the study, the two of them would spend a long time together.
The two of them are getting closer and closer, and they are just about to break the last layer of windowpaper.
Given that this reacquainted Fairy Shifu is rather reserved and slow to warm up, Lu Chang'an controlled the pace, not rushed, not impatient, step by step, which made the other party quite appreciative.
Due to more opportunities for interaction, his intimate understanding of the Shifu Fairy's body was still better than back then.
On this day, inside the cave's study.
"Hoo! Fellow Daoist Lu, today is the last time to set up the formation."
Shi Manrong breathed a long sigh of relief, her silver disk-like face was as rosy as the sun, and her slender and voluptuous body was lying horizontally in Lu Chang'an's arms.
"Well, these days have been hard on you."
Lu Changan comforted.
At Lu Chang'an's feet, a female cultivator's embroidered shoes were scattered. A lotus foot wrapped in an ice silkworm white silk stocking seemed to be upwardly curved due to nervousness, presenting a graceful arc.
"I'll help you up and settle the spirit stones later."
Lu Changan reached out to support the waist of the beautiful woman.
"Spirit Stones, there's no need to be in such a hurry, right?"
Fairy Shifu's face was slightly stagnant, and her pretty eyes blinked lightly as she glanced at Lu Chang'an.
The jade toes of one of her calves padded the ground, rising up and bending down, presenting a beautiful curve of the body, slowly putting on the moonlight white dress that slipped down to the knee of her leg.
Lu Chang'an realized that this Master Fairy's slow heat was not as long as he had imagined.
Shi Manrong straightened her clothes and resumed her elegant demeanor, her gaze skimming over her feet. The fingers behind her back, unmoving, scratched a magic power, dispersing the dampness in the study.
"You take inventory."
Lu Changan handed Shi Manrong a brocade bag of spirit stones.
A quasi third-order mountain protection formation, even if it is small and only covers the top of the mountain, is expensive.
Under the premise of Fairy Shi's discount, it cost several thousand spirit stones.
Quasi third stage, corresponding to the prototype of the magic treasure.
Formations, as bulk trading items, often cost more than puppets and magic treasures of the same rank. Lu Chang'an sent Fairy Shi out of the cave to complete the final finishing touches of the quasi third-order mountain protection formation.
"With the condition of the spirit veins in Wu Qi Mountain, laying and maintaining a quasi third-order formation in Little Turtle Peak will still require a lot of spirit stones to be invested year-round......."
Before parting, Shi Manrong explained some details.
When Fairy Shi returned to Little Plate Peak.
Lu Changan's consciousness merged into the second life of the Nine Seal Tablet, enhancing his senses and inspecting the laid out quasi third-order grand formation, looking for any hidden doors and omissions that might exist in it.
He himself knows about formations.
Although his skills were not as good as Shi Manrong's, his eyesight was there, and with his divine sense enhanced to the level of JieDan, it was easier for him to find problems.
After a long time, Lu Changan withdrew his senses and his consciousness exited the Nine Seals Tablet.
"He didn't play any tricks."
Lu Changan secretly nodded his head.
At least, Shi Manrong didn't leave any secret doors or obvious holes in the formation.
Since the formation was set up by the other party, Shi Manrong must have known the most effective way to break it, but he had to rely on hard power and couldn't go around the backdoor to take advantage of the situation.
Lu Changan still recognized the character of this female formation master, who he had known for decades.
......
Two months later.
The five major clans of the Immortal Cultivation World in Liang, led by the Li Huo Palace, led the cultivators from various forces to form an army of tens of thousands of cultivators to formally set out to conquer the Beacon Country in the southern part of Liang.
The cultivator army is composed of late-stage Qi refining soldiers, foundation stage cultivators as the backbone, and pandan cultivators as the high-end fighting force.
At this time in the Beacon Kingdom, the two YuanYing level sects, the Golden Sun Sect and the Aoyue Palace, are fighting against the invasion of the two YuanYing level sects of the Yan Kingdom and the Chen Kingdom, and are in a stalemate.
The Liang State sect, which had marched out from the northern lands, was quite literally stabbing a knife into the undershirt of its neighboring country!
From a strategic perspective, Lu Chang'an couldn't find any faults.
The Beacon Kingdom is vast and rich in resources, and the Immortal Cultivation civilization has an even older legacy.
Liang is relatively backward.
If the clan can take the opportunity to plunder the rich resources and heritage of the powerful Immortal Cultivation Kingdom, it will definitely do more good than harm to Liang's Immortal Cultivation World.
Cross-country wars, long distances, and lagging news transmission.
Even if Lu Chang'an deliberately kept an eye on it, the frequency of acquiring information was very slow.
This was also related to the level he was at.
The higher echelons of the sect had a more efficient way of transmitting information. However, key information would not be easily leaked to the outside world.
Until a year after the clan's expedition.
Lu Chang'an only obtained a small amount of information about the frontline.
It was said that the cultivator army led by the Liang Clan entered the border territory of the Beacon Kingdom, occupied an immortal city, and devoured several immortal cultivator clans.
They have successfully rooted themselves in the rear of the battlefield of Beacon Country.
......
Compared to the clan's smooth start in the Beacon Kingdom battlefield.
Liang Kingdom was not as stable.
Because the sect dispatched a large amount of manpower to the Beacon Kingdom battlefield, their energies were tied up.
Some of the most wanted people who were deterred by the sect and didn't dare to come forward, and various demons and monsters, have surfaced one after another.
Lu Chang'an soaked in a large bath tub covered with fragrant plums.
With a thoughtful expression on his face, he sighed, "In recent months, talismans, pills, and other war preparations have stabilized, but it's the array formations that have risen in price significantly."
"What, my concubine's formations are starting to make money, Lu Lang is not happy?"
In the haze of water mist, the sound of clattering water from the opposite side, vaguely presenting a skin like snow, curves voluptuous silhouette.
The waterfall hair is spread out, exuding the fragrance of water vapor. A clean jade legs, gently out of the water, the scenery is exquisite.
After the recent gallop, Lu Chang'an has no desire, such as the holy Buddha, to the beauty of the bathing picture in front of him, not strange.
As early as a year ago, the two of them broke through the last layer of the relationship, renewing the dewy love affair.
"Man Rong makes money, I'm naturally happy to see it happen."
Lu Changan smiled.
"However, such a phenomenon is evident in the recent chaos in Wu Qi Mountain, a few fights and killings are by no means an isolated phenomenon."
In the last two months, the security environment around Wu Qi Mountain has declined.
There have been a few cases of crimes, killings and treasure seizing that were rarely seen in the past. In the surrounding area, there were even famous robber cultivators who were once wanted by the sects.
This matter not only affects Wu Qi Mountain's business, but also poses a potential threat to the three main peaks.
"This matter, we have already reported to the cultivators of the 'Departing Flame Palace', so we will at least beat the headlights out of them. No matter what, our two main peaks have quasi third-order mountain protection formations, even if a False Pill Realist comes to attack, it won't be easy to break through."
Shi Manrong's warm and soft voice came out.
"Well, I believe that when the clan goes on an expedition, they will definitely have a hand in keeping their hands off, or at least they will not allow the territory to be in chaos."
At this time, Lu Chang'an felt that the legs under the water surface, came from the slippery feeling, the delicate and wonderful plump curve, pasted in front of his body.
"Rather, Lu Lang, very prescient. A year ago, the quasi third-order formation that my concubine laid for you, the price at that time, can't be done now."
Shi Manrong said with a beaming smile.
Lu Chang'an smiled, after several lives, if he didn't even have this foresight, it would be a wasted life.
In the bathtub, Shi Manrong's eyes are gentle and moist, embracing her lover with a flushed face.
Lu Changan's eyelids moved slightly, sensing a hidden fluctuation of mana, coming from the vicinity of Wu Qi Mountain.
Immediately, the neighboring Xiaodan Peak sent out a warning tone.
"Fairy Master, there are two groups of cultivators fighting outside!"
Not long after, Ye Fei's voice came from outside the cave of Xiaodan Peak.
Lu Changan and Shi Manrong, walked out of the cave.
Seeing the two walk out side by side, Ye Fei was slightly stunned for a moment, but did not ask more questions.
"Fellow Daoist Lu is also here just in time." Ye Fei said with a smile on his face.
"What is the situation of the fight outside?" Lu Chang'an felt no less than five strands of Foundation Establishment Stage mana fluctuations.
Ye Fei speculated, "It seems like a fire fight between robber cultivators, black eating black?"
"Outrageous!"
It's already bad enough that the robber cultivators are robbing near Wu Qi Mountain.
Having a firefight at the entrance of the mountain is simply a slap in their face.
The three peak masters, flew towards the fighting area outside of Mount Wu Qi.
"Keep your distance and beware of traps."
Lu Changan flew to the edge of Mount Wu Qi and looked out at the battle ahead.
In front of a mountain forest several miles away from Wu Qi Mountain.
The two parties of Foundation Establishment cultivators have already fought out the results.
Three Foundation Establishment cultivators were chasing and killing a man and a woman, two Foundation Establishment cultivators.
One of the black-robed female cultivators was injured in the ribs.
"Peak Master of Wu Qi Mountain, we are traveling merchant cultivators passing through Yellow Dragon Immortal City, we were attacked by robbing cultivators, we hope to rescue us."
The companion of the black-robed female cultivator, a yellow-skinned youth, called for help.
"Hehe! Pretend what innocents, that so-called traveling merchant cultivator, half a day ago was not just slaughtered by you guys?"
The leader of the pursuing party, a man in a black hat, came in a hoarse, mocking voice.
"Three peak masters, we are really victims, my sister is very seriously injured......"
Yellow skinned youth and battle and retreat, anxious.
Lu Chang'an three exchanged glances, quickly communicated and made a decision.
"Ye Fei, you will be the one to speak."
Lu Chang'an authorized.
"Why me?"
"Because you are the youngest Peak Master of Wu Qi Mountain."
Ye Fei had no choice but to agree.
He stepped into the air and flew out ten feet.
His body exuded the spiritual pressure of the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, his robes fluttered, his gaze was cold and stern, and he rebuked:
"No matter who of you, without permission, dare to intrude into Wu Qi Mountain - kill without pardon!"
... I'm sorry, there may not be any more on the 10th, I didn't take melatonin the first night, I fell asleep at 4am, I was sleepy during the day, in the afternoon, and the power went out at night...
