Chapter 200 - Conspiracy to Conjure Dan
Chapter 200 - Conspiracy to Conjure the Pill
Little Turtle Peak Secret Room.
With a "pong" sound, the crystal texture flowing palm slapped on the wall, the prohibition that was enough to withstand several rounds of attacks from the late stage of Foundation Establishment, the light fluttered about, and it instantly collapsed.
On the wall made of second-order ore, an inch-deep palm print was left behind.
Lu Changan's eyes were like torches, and his aura was so oppressive that it was comparable to that of a False Dan real person.
When the light of the ban was restored, he threw another punch in the air, creating a cloud-like air explosion a few feet away.
Zee!
The ground rock rat hid in the corner, shivering, not daring to look directly at his master's gaze.
Lu Chang'an collected the huge qi and blood of his powerful body and dismissed the idea of testing the Ground Rock Rat.
"The seventh layer of the Cloud Sand Body Refining Technique, this body refining technique has finally been cultivated to the highest level!"
Lu Chang'an could not hide the joy in his heart.
A body refining attainment of the quasi-third stage is absolutely rare when one looks at the entire Liang Kingdom.
Back then, He Yuanwu didn't even cultivate to this level.
Lu Chang'an's hard power produced a qualitative leap!
The body refining skill that he practiced at the same time was not a pure ancient body cultivator, although he could not beat a full-bodied False Pill Realist, the difference was not far.
Especially in terms of self-preservation, greatly improved.
Excluding treasure talismans and other cards, the threat of a False Dan Realist to him was already very small.
"If the mana is cultivated to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and complemented with the Body Refining Technique, it can intimidate a party within Liang, and there are great places to go in the world."
After a brief moment of grandeur, Lu Chang'an's heart tended to calm down.
Knowing the vastness of heaven and earth, he realized more and more his own insignificance.
Especially, after being informed of the memory fragments of the Hundred Lodging Soul Compass about the cultivation world of the Central State.
"In the next few years, I only need to cultivate to the late stage of Foundation Establishment step by step."
Lu Chang'an made up his mind.
In addition, his puppet skill reached the top level of the second stage two years ago.
In the years to come, he could try to realize a higher level.
A third rank puppet master is not realistic.
Refining a quasi third-order puppet is not a luxury at the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Back then, when he saved Fu Xuemei, the reward he received from Huang Long Zhenzhen included a third-order puppet inheritance.
This saved Lu Chang'an from trouble.
......
"Master, Fairy Shi is back."
A few days later, Lu Chang'an came out of the gate, and his maid Lan Rou came over to report at the first opportunity.
A few days ago, Shi Manrong traveled to the Leaving Fire Palace to attend Song Wenshu and Shen Bixin's wedding.
There are Yuan Ying True Monarchs, late stage Jie Dan Da Cultivators, and Immortal Jindan existences in the Li Huo Palace.
Lu Chang'an didn't want to be there in person and found an excuse to excuse himself, asking Shi Manrong to help him accompany a generous gift.
"You go to Xiaopan Peak and invite Fairy Shi to come to your residence."
Lu Chang'an commanded.
A few moments later, Lan Rou returned from Xiaopan Peak and stammered:
"Back to Master, Fairy Shi said that the journey was long and her body and mind were tired, and she was not in the mood for the past few days."
"Well, let's do it some other time then."
Lu Changan was pondering, sensing Shi Manrong's sense of detachment.
If it was some years ago, Lu Changan's invitation, Shi Manrong almost never refused.
Ever since she and Zhou Qingxuan pretended to be friends and their relationship became abnormal, Fairy Shi has been slightly distant from him.
Of course, the overall friendship is still there, but not as close as in the past. In this regard, Lu Chang'an is not too concerned.
This is the first time I've ever seen a woman in the world who has been in a relationship with her husband, and I've never seen her in a relationship with her husband.
The majority of the immortal couples in this world, how many of them are able to remain faithful and unchanging?
......
A few days later.
Lu Chang'an personally visited Xiaopanfeng.
This time, Shi Manrong did not refuse.
"Fellow Daoist Lu has had a lot of time on his hands these past two years, but he is actually free to visit my humble abode in person?"
The elegant moon dress of Fairy Shi, her hair in a high bun, dignified and tranquil, softly smiled and said.
"Fairy Shifu is overstating the case."
Lu Changan did not move and followed into the cave of Xiaopan Peak.
Fairy Shifu did not lose her manners and behaved elegantly, making a pot of spirit tea for Lu Changan personally.
Lu Changan came to visit, naturally, he had something to talk about.
After chatting for a while, the topic of Song Wenshu and Shen Bixin's wedding came up.
"Fellow Daoist Song and Miss Shen got married in the Leaving Fire Palace, it was a lively and festive event with many guests, the real VIPs came a dozen or so."
"Fellow Daoist Song and his wife, received a congratulatory gift from Fellow Daoist Lu, let the concubine turn to metabolism."
"By the way, Jiang Yichen also went to the wedding, drunkenly drunk."
"Jiang Yichen?"
Lu Chang'an showed an unexpected color.
Jiang Yichen dares to come to the wedding, he has a lot of guts.
But as long as he doesn't cause any trouble, the Li Huo Palace won't do anything to him.
In any case, Jiang Yichen and Shen Bixin fell in love before, and Song Wenshu was the third party later.
If Jiang Yichen had an accident afterward, Song Wenshu would be highly suspected.
"Well, my concubine has talked to Daoist Jiang. With his former temperament, it wasn't easy for him to maintain restraint during the wedding."
Shi Manrong couldn't help but recall Jiang Yuchen's sinister face with blood at the corners of his eyes.
"Has Fairy Shi ever heard of the news of the Beacon Kingdom Battlefield this time when she returned from the Li Fire Palace?"
Lu Changan mentioned the concern.
As early as a year ago, the cultivators from the Liang Clan who had gone on the expedition withdrew back to their homeland one after another.
The cultivators who didn't return, basically never returned.
"The battlefield of Beacon Country, a temporary truce has been called."
Fairy Shifu stated the information she had been informed of.
"According to inaccurate information, the three parties, the Beacon Kingdom, Yan Kingdom, and Chen Kingdom, sent representatives to initiate negotiations......"
"Truce negotiations?"
Lu Chang'an revealed a look of surprise.
The war in the Fen Kingdom's Immortal Cultivation Realm had lasted for more than twenty years, and in the end, there was no winner or loser.
The Beacon Country, as the strongest Immortal Cultivation Country in the neighborhood, has a long heritage and is very resilient.
There are three YuanYing level sects alone.
If Yan had not produced such a worldly talent as Chu Tianfeng, and had joined forces with Chen to take the country by surprise in the early stages, the resistance it faced would have been even greater.
Lu Changan's surprise was more of an admiration for Tian Zhilou.
As early as three years ago, Tian Zhilou had a prediction about the situation in the Beacon Kingdom battlefield. It said that there might be a turnaround in the future, and that the possibility of negotiation could not be ruled out.
Tian Zhilou also hypothesized that in the far future, Liang Kingdom would definitely fall into a war.
This has something to do with the eastward expansion of the Six Sects of the Devil's Path.
The news brought back by Shi Manrong allowed Lu Chang'an to have a clearer plan for the future.
......
Confirming the news of the neighboring battlefield was only one of Lu Chang'an's objectives in finding Fairy Shi to talk to him.
"Has the Master Fairy made a decision on that matter?"
Lu Chang'an suddenly turned to voice transmission.
Shifu Manrong understood and laid down an isolation restriction around the two of them.
"My concubine's cultivation to the peak of Foundation Establishment will be in the next two years or so. In order to have the chance of ending the dan, that ancient relic must be explored in the next few years."
Shi Manrong made her decision clear.
"However, the key memories of that ancient relic, which my concubine has not recovered so far, are only a larger area circled in the Black Mist Mountain Range."
"Has Jiang Yichen agreed to step in and help Fairy Master restore her memories?"
"There are no talks."
Shi Manrong shook her head and let out a light sigh.
"Repairing my Sea of Consciousness memories will deplete the spirituality of an important treasure on Jiang Yichen."
"Back then, my concubine did not succeed in setting up Fellow Daoist Jiang and Miss Shen to get back together. As a result, Fellow Daoist Jiang was unwilling to do so without compensation, and the cost of doing so with compensation was quite high." "Oh? What conditions did Jiang Yichen put forth?"
Lu Changan was interested.
"This person is asking for a large sum of money, he wants a main pill for conjugation, or two rare auxiliary pills, and a better quality spirit item for conjugation is also fine."
Shi Manrong pursed her lips and her eyebrows rose.
"The chance to form a dan?"
Lu Chang'an was dumbfounded, "Perhaps Fellow Daoist Jiang was displeased with the events of that year and thought that Fairy Shi, as a 'matchmaker', was not dedicated enough."
"Making fun of concubine again! Fellow Daoist Lu should come up with an idea."
Fairy Shifu didn't have the good sense to give him a blank look.
"Jiang Yechen opening such a big mouth should be because he doesn't want to deplete the spirit of that treasure on his body, and doesn't have the sincerity to deal."
Lu Chang'an deduced.
"We have two choices."
"The first is to spend a large sum of money to purchase the things that Fellow Daoist Jiang needs to form the dan, or use other methods to impress him."
At those words, Fairy Master's face did not fluctuate.
Lu Changan smiled, at this stage, everyone demanded the item of conjugation, how would they want to give it up to others?
"Secondly, directly move strong and kill to seize the treasure."
Lu Changan said in a flat tone.
Master Fairy's beautiful eyes flickered lightly as she gave him an unexpected glance without saying anything.
Lu Chang'an suspected that Fairy Master might have thought about it.
Even a cultivator who has accumulated good deeds for a hundred years may break the bottom line for the chance to become a dan.
Once you have formed the true dan, you will enter the ranks of high-ranking cultivators and enjoy a lifespan of five to six hundred years.
For any foundation cultivator, it is an irresistible temptation.
"To strike out at fellow Daoist Jiang, my concubine has an uneasy intuition."
After a long time, Fairy Master sighed quietly.
"Over the years, Dao Friend Jiang has quite the battle record, having killed a late stage Foundation Establishment Evil Cultivator wanted by the sect head on. That evil cultivator was not much less powerful than the Black Night Fisherman."
"Jiang Yichen has grown so quickly?"
Lu Chang'an secretly wondered.
"Secondly, my concubine is worried that even if she captures that treasure, a different person using it may not be sure of successfully repairing my concubine's memories."
Shi Manrong voiced her concerns.
"Fairy Shifu is very thorough in her considerations."
Lu Chang'an knew that certain special treasures might have a case of recognizing the owner, or there must be a unique secret method to go along with it.
At the same time, there is a situation to consider:
Jiang Yichen was forced into a desperate situation, and before he died, there was a great possibility that he would destroy the treasure to prevent his enemies from succeeding.
"How about this, Fairy Shi continues to find a way to persuade Fellow Daoist Jiang. Whether or not to make a move, wait until Lu attempts to impact the late stage of Foundation Establishment in a few years."
Lu Changan made a suggestion.
Shi Manrong nodded and agreed.
She had yet to reach the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, so she could prepare more to increase her chances of winning, whether it was against Jiang Yichen or the Ancient Ruins.
After talking about business, Lu Chang'an suddenly lost his smile.
"What is Fellow Daoist Lu laughing at?"
"Cough! Lu just thought that the 'conspiracy' just now was very interesting."
Lu Chang'an realized that he had lost his temper.
The scene just now seemed like a pair of villainous concubines plotting to kill a true protagonist.
According to Lu Chang'an's experience before he crossed over, eight or nine out of ten would fail, or even steal the chicken but lose the rice.
Fairy Shifu thought about it for a while, and then remembered some words, she couldn't help but feel angry.
"Lu, please self-respect, you and I relationship is not the same as before, do not dishonor my innocence."
She spat lightly, her face was not worried, and invited Lu Changan out of the cave.
......
Three months later.
Little Turtle Peak, in the lotus-scented pool.
Lu Changan finished his routine cultivation and lay on the back of the huge Xuan Shui Turtle.
Zee!
The Ground Rock Rat stepped on the waves and handed over a letter that had just been delivered to Lu Chang'an.
In the past two years, with the Zhou family's beast pills, the ground rock rat's cultivation speed has significantly accelerated.
The Xuan Shui Turtle has also been benefited.
However, the Xuan Shui Tortoise has similar slow characteristics to Lu Chang'an when it comes to cultivation.
Putting a certain amount of resources into the Xuan Shui Tortoise can steadily increase its cultivation level. If you give more resources, the effect is not proportional, and once it exceeds a certain margin, it is not cost-effective.
In terms of age limitations, the Xuan Shui Tortoise was only slightly better than Lu Chang'an.
If one were to disregard the cost and invest ten or a hundred times as much, this turtle would also be able to accelerate its growth.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao's preparations for the conjugation of the dan are not going very well......."
Lu Changan looked at the contents of the letter and murmured.
The letter sent by Zhao Siyao did not contain any requests, but it implicitly expressed its own difficulties.
Over the years, Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan, who had returned from the battlefield, were both preparing for the conjugation of the Dan.
Both of them have been successful in the battlefield, and have teamed up to kill a False Pill Realist.
However, Zhao Siyao was far inferior to Zhang Tieshan when it came to accumulating battle achievements.
Zhang Tieshan's first batch of battlefields were very successful and he had accumulated a lot of achievements, so his harvest was far more than Zhao Siyao.
Even before going to the battlefield, Lu Changan knew that Zhang Tieshan's family had a lot of money.
In addition to his outstanding performance in the battlefield and the appreciation of the upper echelon elders, Zhang Tieshan's ability to obtain a Crystal Condensation Pill in the Golden Cloud Valley is basically a sure thing.
Zhao Siyao's prestige, strength, and achievements are all inferior to Zhang Tieshan.
Even if Zhao Siyao had reached the peak of the late stage of Foundation Establishment, she would not have been able to wait in line for the Crystal Condensation Pill within ten years in the clan, not counting the pills.
At the age of 130, every year after that, the probability of attaining the Pill will decline slightly.
After 150 years of age, the success rate drops dramatically.
......
"A hundred years of time, to get to this point, to be qualified to prepare for conjugation, is already beyond ninety-nine percent of the cultivators."
Lu Chang'an's gaze was deep, as if he had traveled through time.
Lin Yi, Li Erqing, Mu Xiuyun, Mu Maode...... one by one, the deceased people who met a hundred years ago, dropped out in the middle of the road.
Some were dead or deceased, some had their cultivation stopped and lost their potential.
In the eyes of the outside world, Lu Chang'an has not yet cultivated to the late stage of Foundation Establishment at this age, and is also unattached to JieDan.
Compared to Zhao Siyao or Zhang Tieshan, he was decades behind in his cultivation progress.
However, no one knew that Lu Chang'an had basically locked up a True Dan slot in this life.
What he was currently seeking was to make the quality of the finished Dan as high as possible to increase the probability of forming a baby in this life.
After a long time, Lu Changan withdrew his thoughts.
He waved his hand, and the Earth Rock Mouse sent the letter and ink to the back of the Xuan Shui Turtle.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, every cultivator who has come this far has gone through a thousand difficulties, there is not a single oil-saving lamp."
"Three parts depends on the person, seven parts depends on the fate of heaven. I can't help you much with this level of dan condensation."
Soon, Lu Chang'an wrote a reply letter.
