Chapter 189 Trading Outlook

Chapter 189 - Trading Prospects

Seeing the way this woman reached her expectations, Lu Chang'an was surprised and said:

"Oh? Could it be that Miss Shen has some current needs?"

"Not at the moment."

Shen Bixin pursed her lips and smiled, praising, "Fellow Daoist Lu's character is superb, his heart is resolute, he is a trustworthy friend in my concubine's mind."

"To be able to make fellow Daoist Lu owe a favor, my concubine is satisfied."

Looking at the smiling Shen Bixin, Lu Changan's heart was flooded with oddities.

He thought: you and I do not have a deep friendship, how do you know that Lu's character is too hard, just based on hearsay should not be.

Shen Bixin's explanation should not be the main reason, there is also a certain aspect of consideration.

But there is one thing, Lu Chang'an seldom have interests with the outside world, has been low-key practical cultivation, coupled with the inspirational reputation of the late success, in the outside world is really good.

Even though the nickname of the turtle talisman master, the outside world to flirt mostly, not much malice.

Shen Bixin was considered a married woman.

In order to avoid suspicion, Lu Chang'an didn't stay too long and said goodbye.

Shen Bixin got up to see her off and suddenly asked:

"Fellow Daoist Lu seems to have a good relationship with Yellow Dragon Mountain?"

"Yellow Dragon Mountain? There are a few exchanges, not particularly familiar."

Lu Chang'an replied.

The Yellow Dragon Mountain's Realist Ji, as well as Fu Dong, had both visited Little Turtle Peak back then. Yellow Dragon Mountain had helped Lu Chang'an collect materials, and these could not be hidden from the outside world.

"Recently, there have been rumors from the trail that Realist Yellow Dragon is critically ill, and I'm afraid he won't live for a year or two."

Shen Bixin shared a piece of information.

"Huang Long Makoto is critically ill?"

Lu Chang'an moved and made a slight projection.

Fourteen or five years had passed since Fu Xuemei had formed the dan.

The life span of the former number one loose cultivator in Liang's Immortal Cultivation World was indeed nearing its end.

Due to various factors, Huang Long Zhen Zhen lived hundreds of years less than the theoretical lifespan of a True Dan cultivator.

"Elder Huang Long had a glorious life in the Liang Immortal Cultivation World for hundreds of years, famous in all directions, once respected by all the major clans and lineages."

Lu Chang'an spoke with respect.

Huang Long Zhen Zhen was at the peak of his fame, but he had not yet entered the immortal path in his current life.

The two are not from the same era.

As a result, Lu Chang'an had only heard of him, but had never had a positive encounter with Huanglong Zhengwo.

"If the Yellow Dragon Master passes away, certain forces might take the opportunity to make trouble against the Yellow Dragon Mountain lineage. At that time, Fellow Daoist Lu should be careful."

"Thank you for reminding me, Miss Shen."

Lu Chang'an heard Shen Bixin's words, arched his hand to say goodbye, and flew away from the Tengxing Chamber of Commerce's residence.

Shen Bixin looked at his back, slightly thinking, remembering the scene when he was rescued and saw the light of life in the desperate situation.

She has an intuition that this low-profile, down-to-earth, spoiled and unperturbed turtle talisman master, is not a simple person.

Today's bet may have to wait until a future day to verify.

......

Three months later.

The news of the battlefield in the Beacon Kingdom spread to all parts of the Liang Kingdom, triggering a shock.

It was only at this time that the lower level cultivators were generally aware of the news of the great defeat of the clans in Liang.

The middle and upper class cultivators knew about the information earlier.

"The YuanYing True Lord of the LiFire Palace, who fought one against two against two enemy YuanYing, was unfortunately defeated and injured?" The mainstream news that Lu Chang'an had gotten from the outside world, the description of the truth, could be described as an understatement.

Obviously, he was severely injured and almost died, but he described it as a "narrow defeat".

Small cultivators who don't know the details may be misled into thinking that the great Elder of Li Huo Palace was so brave that he was only one move away from defeating the two YuanYing.

"The Leaving Fire Palace is not strong in foreign wars, but it is not bad in controlling the public opinion of the Liang Immortal Cultivation World."

Lu Chang'an could understand this.

In an immortal war, both countries would spread all sorts of fake news to confuse the public and cause panic.

It is indeed necessary to control public opinion internally and purge the rumor mongers who are not conducive to unity.

Except for the situation of YuanYing ZhenJun.

The number of JieDan True Lords and Foundation Establishment Cultivators killed in action has also been concealed to a certain extent.

These can't be hidden from the people of the major powers.

But as long as the lower and middle classes are stabilized, the purpose of the upper echelons of Liang's sects will be achieved.

About the war news.

The three peak masters of Wu Qi Mountain had a small private gathering.

Fairy Shi also had her own news channels, mentioning that the Liang Clan had suffered a crushing defeat, and that their losses were greater than rumors from the outside world.

She speculated that the Liang Clan would stop fighting and retreat to their territory to recuperate.

"I hope that the war will stop soon and the Liang cultivation world will return to stability as soon as possible."

Ye Fei said hopefully.

Due to the external conquests and the outward transfer of sect cultivators, the law and order of various parts of the Liang Immortal Cultivation Realm has obviously declined.

In the past few years, Wu Qishan's business has been in the doldrums.

"Hopefully."

Only Lu Chang'an knew that in the near future, the war was likely to spread to Liang.

......

As news of the war spreads.

Golden Cloud Valley's correspondence with the outside world returned to normal.

The following two months.

Lu Chang'an received two letters from Zhao Tan'er.

One of them was a message from Zhao Tang'er herself.

The other was a letter sent by Zhao Siyao from the frontline.

In the letter, Zhao Siyao said that she had already left the battlefield and was on her way back to Liang's Golden Cloud Valley.

In the letter, the description of the war was only a few sentences, but it made Lu Changan feel the tragedy of it.

"Thanks to the blessing of fellow Daoist Lu, Si Yao escaped from death. Because of teaming up with Zhang Tieshan senior brother, luckily killed the enemy country's False Dan real person, that battle made a lot of merit, I and Zhang senior brother was seriously injured, was able to be the first batch to withdraw......"

"Kill the false dan real person?"

Lu Chang'an's heart jumped.

Zhao Siyao's description was very subtle, and with the tacit understanding between the two of them, it was clear that she had not exposed the origin of that precious talisman.

If the talisman was activated, the outside world would only treat it as an ordinary third-order talisman.

The fact that a late Foundation Establishment Stage elite of the clan obtained a third-order talisman by chance is not a great exaggeration.

A third-order talisman has limited appeal to True Dan cultivators.

"Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for Zhao Siyao to kill a True False Dan cultivator with that precious talisman. I'm afraid that Zhang Tieshan played a big role, possessing the means to threaten a True False Dan cultivator."

Lu Chang'an pondered.

At the end of the letter, Zhao Siyao hoped that Lu Chang'an could come over for a gathering after she and Zhang Tieshan returned to the clan.

Waiting to recuperate from their injuries.

Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan, would focus on their cultivation and plan for the completion of the Dan.

After the battlefield, Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan have gained a lot, and their cultivation has progressed more smoothly.

"In a few more years, among the close friends I've made in this life, there may be someone who will reach the level of a real person."

Lu Changan smiled and put away the letter.

Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan's current cultivation levels are at similar nodes, both at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.

However, they are still some years away from the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage.

In addition to these two friends.

Lu Chang'an's close friend, Fairy Shi, as well as Song Wenshu and Zhou Qingxuan, who were friends, were all at a similar level.

Being able to cultivate to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, one has already defeated half of the cultivators of the same rank.

It is even more difficult to reach the stage of Dan.

Many cultivators at the peak of the late stage of Foundation Establishment have difficulty in succeeding for decades, or can only achieve False Dan, with only a hundred years of extra life expectancy, stopping at this point in their lives. False dan is essentially a "half-step dan" that is not recognized by many true dan cultivators.

"

These deceased people have some hope of achieving False Dan. But I wonder if there are one or two who can achieve True Dan?"

Lu Chang'an looked into the future, not sure if he would have the chance to witness it himself.

Achieving the True Dan would put you in the top echelons of any major power in the Great Qing Cultivation Realm.

......

One month later.

Lu Chang'an received news from the Teng Xing Chamber of Commerce and went to the Prairie Immortal City.

This time, when he went to the Teng Xing Chamber of Commerce's compound, Lu Chang'an didn't see Shen Bixin.

The one who received him was a Chamber of Commerce Elder at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, Shen Bixin's direct elder.

"The materials have finally arrived."

An hour later, Lu Chang'an had an extra bulging storage bag around his waist and flew away from Liaoyuan Immortal City.

The whole transaction process went smoothly.

Lu Chang'an purchased the third-order spirit sand, top-ranked puppets, quasi-third-order puppets and other materials at the market price.

Since they were basic materials, their value wasn't particularly expensive, but they still cost 10,000 thousands of lower grade spirit stones.

Because he was the first to leave, Lu Changan didn't hide his identity.

"No one is tracking, the Tengxing Chamber of Commerce's reputation is quite good."

Until he left the Prairie Immortal City a few hundred miles away, Lu Changan secretly nodded his head.

During this period, his mind had repeatedly merged into the Nine Seal Tablet's second generation to probe and confirm that there was no tail behind him.

This time, the transaction amount, compared to the ordinary middle stage of Foundation Establishment, was indeed considered a leakage of wealth.

It's not that Lu Chang'an is unstable anymore, but times are different nowadays.

Risk is inversely proportional to strength.

Lu Chang'an's outwardly displayed means of protecting the Dao had long since ceased to be an ordinary mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

The strongest person in the Tengxing Chamber of Commerce is only a False Dan Realist.

This little leakage of wealth will only attract a False Dan Realist, or a number of late stage Foundation Establishment.

At this particular time.

As long as he didn't expose his own secrets, Lu Changan didn't mind taking some controllable risks in order to accelerate his strength.

......

After returning to Wu Qi Mountain.

Lu Chang'an ensured that the Quasi-Third Order Mountain Protection Formation was operating stably.

Going forward, he will devote a portion of his focus to upgrading the Cloud Sand Body Refining Technique and increasing the practice of his puppets.

"Third-order spirit sand stone, the effect is really extraordinary......"

Inside the secret room of Little Turtle Peak, Lu Chang'an was immersed in a medicinal bath of several colors of mixed spirit sand, his whole body's muscles swelled up by a circle, and the surface of his skin was flooded with cloud-speckled crystal-like textures.

A tingling and burning discomfort came from his body.

Cultivating for the first time with third-order spirit sand stones, his Cloud Sand Body Refining Technique, which had been stagnant for many years, finally felt like it was slowly refining.

Yesterday's sleep was too bad, very sleepy. The efficiency of the code was too low, and he even took a nap in the middle.
