Chapter 190 How to Repay
Chapter 190 How to Repay
Half a year later.
Little Turtle Peak Secret Room.
Lu Changan pinched his hand and executed the Puppet Control Technique, and a humanoid leather-armored puppet lying on the ground rose up in an athletic cartwheel.
The leather-armored puppet had sharp eyes, carried a longbow and an arrow pouch on its back, and had a short sword at its waist.
Pulling open the longbow, a silver-gray arrow, lingering green wind; the bowstring flickers with electric arcs, emitting spiritual power fluctuations, enough to make the late stage of Foundation Establishment frightened.
Swoosh!
The arrow sped off the string, piercing through the foot-thick second-order raw ore, and the residual power was absorbed by the secret room's forbidden system.
"Worthy of being a second-order top puppet that specializes in attacks."
Lu Changan's face was filled with joy as he checked the condition of the bow and arrow puppet, confirming that the refining was successful.
After completing the procurement of materials, after half a year, Lu Changan made the first breakthrough in the puppet skill.
Today, the puppet was refined into a second-order top-level puppet.
Of course, the top of the second order was still in the category of the top of the second order, the difference was that the quality reached the peak of the second order. Theoretically, the level of this puppet was equivalent to the peak of the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
But normally, the puppet's combat power is inferior to that of a cultivator. After all, puppets are dead things, whereas human cultivators have an advantage in terms of spiritual intelligence, the use of techniques, talismans, and other external objects.
However, Lu Changan's strong divine sense and profound attainments in puppet control skill made him confident that this puppet would be able to compete with a senior late stage Foundation Establishment practitioner.
Moreover, this archer puppet, giving up its defense and pulling its attacks to full strength, had great lethality against an ordinary Foundation Establishment.
Especially in the case of ambushes and secret attacks.
"Such an archer puppet, if there were seven or eight of them, shooting in unison, even a False Dan real person would not be able to withstand the damage."
Lu Chang'an put away the puppets and conceptualized.
However, he didn't have that many materials on hand. Refining puppets consumes a lot of time, and the higher the grade, the longer it takes.
......
"One hundred and thirty-five years old."
A few days later, Lu Chang'an came out of the gate and realized that his lifespan had been depleted by another year.
Without realizing it, he had been cultivating in Wu Qi Mountain for sixty to seventy years.
The maid, Lan Rou, has changed from a young girl to a mature woman in her thirties.
This is still a case of emphasizing on skin care.
"Counting the time, Fellow Daoist Zhao and Fellow Daoist Zhang's injuries should have healed for the first time."
Lu Changan pondered.
About three months ago, Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan returned to Golden Cloud Valley, but their injuries had not yet healed and they needed to recuperate and there were aftercare matters.
Lu Changan and Zhao Siyao agreed in a letter to meet up when they returned.
He intends to visit his two friends who have survived the disaster in the near future.
Zhao Siyao wanted to come to Wuqi Mountain in person, but Lu Chang'an declined in his letter.
With Zhao Siyao's cultivation status, it would be a bit unusual for her to visit a loose cultivator before her injuries have healed.
Lu Changan didn't want the outside world to associate the "third-order talisman" used by Zhao Siyao with himself.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for a mid Foundation Establishment cultivator to produce a third-order talisman.
Even if Lu Changan's divine sense was strong and he had the skills of a third-ranked talisman master in his previous life, he couldn't do this.
Because, drawing talismans requires corresponding mana support.
And the difference in mana between the Foundation Establishment Stage and the JieDan Stage is too great.
A talisman master with a False Dan cultivation is not considered rare to make third-order talismans.
If a late Foundation Establishment Stage can make one by chance, it can be considered a great talent, and the cost is so great that there is no cost-effectiveness to speak of.
......
Ten days later.
Golden Cloud Valley, inside a cave with a water view in a quiet environment.
Four Foundation Establishment cultivators, two males and two females, were sitting opposite each other.
At the top are two late stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, Zhang Tieshan and Zhao Siyao, who have a hidden aura of death emanating from their bodies.
Especially Zhang Tieshan, his aura is even more intense, obviously in the frontline battlefield, has harvested the lives of many enemy cultivators.
Zhao Siyao's aura was much lighter.
Compared to the previous days of elegance and elegance, immortal air floating, between the eyebrows of the divine light is even more intense.
Lu Chang'an had to admit that Immortal Cultivation Wars had a very good sharpening effect on cultivators.
Experiencing the line between life and death helps to squeeze the potential of the cultivator and even break the shackles of their own limits.
The prerequisite is to come back alive.
"If you don't die, you'll be blessed again. After experiencing this battle, your future paths may be a little smoother."
Lu Chang'an spoke auspicious words.
"Borrowing from Fellow Daoist Lu's auspicious words. I hope that fellow Daoist Zhao and I will be able to enjoy the aftermath of our future dan formation."
Zhang Tieshan's voice was bright and cheerful, and scars were vaguely visible on his slightly darker face.
Zhao Siyao eyes with a smile, eyebrow line gently raised, and sometimes look at the appearance of a hundred years of unchanged white-clothed old man, this time to see each other, seems quiet and few words.
It is clearly a figure that can not be more familiar, her clear and soft gaze, but it seems to have a kind of first encounter with the bright movement.
"Uncle Lu, if the battlefield is that effective, why didn't you listen to Tang'er's advice and follow............ back then."
Zhao Taner puffed a smile, revealing braided shell-like teeth.
"Tang'er, don't be rude! At her age, she still doesn't know how to be prudent. Zhao Siyao's expression changed slightly, and she interrupted the female disciple with a cold rebuke.
Zhao Tan'er spat out her tongue and didn't dare to say anything else.
She is usually lively and bold, and occasionally she is not allowed to speak out of turn, but she is still afraid of her master.
"There's no harm in it, Tang'er's temperament is straightforward, there's no malice in it."
Lu Changan waved his hand and said.
In the Immortal Cultivation World, there are a few cultivators whose hearts are simple and sincere, unchanged for hundreds or thousands of years, as if they will never "mature".
It is not that they are really simple and unchanging, this is a kind of cultivation state that is in line with their own selves.
This is a state of cultivation that is in line with their true nature. Such a cultivator has no internal conflict of spirit, and it is difficult for external demons to invade them, so their state of mind is often more advantageous, and is known as the "heart of the naked child". Zhao Tan'er may not be the true heart of a child, but she has similar qualities.
Lu Chang'an remembered that this woman's promotion to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment was smoother than the same top-grade Spiritual Root.
"Fellow Daoist Lu's magic power seems not far from the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Back then, she was a late bloomer, but now she is still full of energy, catching up with quite a few fellow Daoists of her generation."
Zhang Tieshan observed Lu Chang'an, slightly surprised.
"Mister Lu just has a good mindset and a solid foundation, not much lack of spirit stone resources."
Lu Chang'an said modestly.
"Can Fellow Daoist Lu be sure of advancing to the late stage of Foundation Establishment?"
Zhao Siyao spoke up.
"I have already entrusted someone to refine a rank-breaking elixir for the late stage of Foundation Establishment, so I should have a thirty to forty percent certainty."
Lu Changan mused.
"Thirty to forty percent certainty?" Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan looked at each other and smiled without saying anything.
Having known each other for over a hundred years, the two of them had a better understanding of Lu Chang'an's character.
They said 30% to 40%, but in reality, they are afraid that they are 70% to 80% sure.
"Although your cultivation is slow, but if you can keep steadily and solidly refining your cultivation, with such a character, you are very much like a rare evergreen ancient tree in the Immortal Cultivation World."
Zhang Tieshan praised.
"Evergreen ancient wood? Is that the kind of ancient spirit wood that can always grow evergreen as long as it has enough annual rings?"
Zhao Tan'er's voice was clear and crisp as she blurted out.
"Lu Mou is just a casual cultivator, how can I compare it to an Evergreen Ancient Wood."
Lu Chang'an's heart jumped.
At the mention of the Evergreen Ancient Wood, his mind produced a subtle call.
"However, Mister Lu wishes that the few of you here will be like the Evergreen Tree, and that the path of Immortality will be evergreen."
Lu Chang'an's words made the three of them respond, and the atmosphere became more and more relaxed.
......
At the end of the day, Lu Changan said goodbye.
The three sect foundations sent Lu Changan to the entrance of his cave.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, I'll give you a ride."
Zhao Siyao suggested.
"Good." Lu Chang'an glanced at her and agreed.
Zhao Siyao's temperament would not intentionally exchange pleasantries and courtesies, so she should have something to talk to him alone.
Zhao Tan'er gave a wink to Zhang Tieshan, and the two of them wisely did not follow.
Lu Changan and Zhao Siyao, dressed in white, like a couple, flew out of the Golden Cloud Valley side by side.
"Great!"
Zhao Tan'er jumped, seeing off the two elders, with a pleased look on her face.
Outside Golden Cloud Valley.
The mountain wind is blowing, slightly cool.
Zhao Siyao is wearing a phoenix hairpin and a fluttering fairy dress, her body is tall and elegant, her side face is like a painting, she is as clear as a picture.
Along the way, the two eyes occasionally meet, a slight smile, tacit understanding of speechless.
Until they flew out of the Golden Cloud Valley hundreds of miles.
Zhao Siyao's reclining light slowed down, and her eyes, clear and bright, settled on Lu Changan's face before she opened her mouth:
"Thank you, if not for that talisman, Siyao will never see fellow Daoist Lu again......"
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, what talisman? Why can't I understand it?"
Lu Chang'an said doubtfully.
Zhao Siyao was stunned and gazed at this familiar face for a few breaths.
She did not reveal it, suddenly smiled sweetly, her face was glowing, and sighed lightly:
"Lu Changan, such a great favor, how do you want me to repay?"
After knowing each other for more than a hundred years, Zhao Siyao called her name for the first time.
"If we're talking about favors. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to build my foundation. During the Yellow Dragon Immortal City's alchemy, when faced with Fu Xuemei, Fellow Daoist Zhao helped to speak out in defense. When I was building my foundation, I was also under the constant protection of Fellow Daoist Zhao." Lu Changan said sincerely.
He went from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage for hundreds of years, and was able to cultivate in a relatively stable manner, but also had the care of his clan friends.
Black Mist Mountain Range side by side, experienced life and death, twice refining Foundation Establishment Dan...... all kinds of past, let him and Zhao Siyao have enough tacit understanding trust.
That's why he secretly gifted a treasure talisman to Zhao Siyao a few years ago.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao doesn't need to be concerned. If you insist on repaying, I wish Fellow Daoist Zhao an early success in attaining dan, so that Mister Lu can hold on to his thighs."
Hearing this, Zhao Siyao let out a giggle, and her clear and fresh eyes were like winter snow melting.
Afterwards, the two of them chatted about some light topics and past events.
The night fell, the moon color was like water, so that the two of them in white clothes and white dresses, their silhouettes appeared even more cold.
"I heard that Fellow Daoist Lu has a good relationship with Fairy Shi?"
Zhao Siyao said without moving.
"It's not bad, we've been neighbors for many years and are more compatible."
Lu Changan frankly said.
His relationship with the Master Fairy could not escape the observation of those who were interested.
Zhao Siyao's lips pursed lightly, and after a few breaths of silence, she nodded and said, "When does Fellow Daoist Lu plan to tie the knot and marry Fairy Shi?"
Lu Changan shook his head and said, "The world of Immortal Cultivation is ever-changing, and the Foundation Stage can barely stand on its feet and have a foothold. But unlike the JieDan real people have magic treasures and magical powers, they can not withstand the big storms, how can they dare to take a wife and have children?"
"Fellow Daoist Lu is prepared for danger, this is not a bad thing to say."
Zhao Siyao smiled faintly.
She then asked, "If Fellow Daoist Lu were to form a false dan on that day, what would happen?"
In fact, with Lu Chang'an's age and qualifications, it would be a blessing of ten lifetimes to be able to achieve False Pill.
This assumption is an exaggeration of Lu Chang'an.
"If I achieve the false dan, I will find a female cultivator with mutual interest, get married and have children, establish a cultivation family, and train my descendants well."
Lu Chang'an told the truth.
"Hmm." Zhao Siyao glanced at him without commenting.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, there's no need to send more, I hope to achieve dan soon."
"Fellow Daoist Lu, the road is blocked and long, may the path of immortality be evergreen."
The two of them looked at each other one last time, fixed for a few breaths, and did not hide the appreciation in each other's eyes.
The figures in white clothes and white dresses crossed paths and flew in different directions.
......
Two months later.
Wu Qi Mountain, Little Turtle Peak.
"This is the first time in my life that I, Lu, have been invited to attend a JieDan real person's event - albeit a funeral ceremony."
Lu Chang'an held the black and white invitation in his hand and looked at the elegant and dignified Fairy Shi at his side.
"Is the Huanglong real person confirmed to have passed away?"
"The invitations for the funeral ceremony were sent to all over the world, it should not be fake."
Shi Manrong's voice was warm.
"Man Rong, the funeral ceremony of Huang Long Zhen Zhen, do you think I will go, or not?"
Lu Chang'an mused, seemingly unable to decide.
The update time is indeed netherworldly, but the current biological clock, daytime lethargy, nighttime spirit.
(No update on the night of the 11th. When I got home late, I had a glass of wine and was groggy.)
