Chapter 204: The Great Vessel

Lu Chang'an had an idea of what happened to Qi Feng, and his words changed:

"How is your Aunt Guan's recent situation?"

Guan Qiaozhi left Little Turtle Peak thirty-three years ago, she was seventy-five years old at the time, with no hope of cultivation, and gradually aging.

Lu Chang'an had judged that Guan Qiaozhi was well maintained and had no fights, so if there were no accidents, her life expectancy could be close to the upper limit of the Qi Refining Stage.

"Over the years, Aunt Guan settled in a mountain village in the mundane world and adopted some orphans. The mountains there are clear and beautiful, self-sufficient, and there is no competition with the world......"

Recounting Guan Qiaozhi's situation, Qi Feng, a green and strong man, showed a trace of warmth in his eyes.

Guan Qiaozhi initially appeared as his immortal guide, and the subsequent care and guidance given was equivalent to half a mentor.

He also treated Aunt Guan as a righteous mother.

"It's not bad to spend your days in the mortal world."

Lu Chang'an said to himself.

Immortal cultivators can live comfortably in the mundane world as long as they keep a low profile and don't cause any trouble.

During the Immortal Cultivation War, certain cultivators would choose to hide in the mundane world so as to avoid the trouble of killing them.

This kind of choice has both advantages and disadvantages.

In a mundane place, there are no spiritual veins for cultivation, and the atmosphere of red dust is too heavy.

After staying for a long time, the cultivation of the Immortal Cultivator will stagnate, and there may even be a situation where the Immortal Cultivator is rowing against the current, and if he doesn't advance, he will fall back.

The higher the realm of the cultivator, the greater the difference when staying in the mundane.

As a result, the mundane land is only suitable for low level Qi refining cultivators to take refuge, and not for too long.

It is normal for cultivation wars to last for one or two decades.

The life expectancy of qi refining cultivators is not much, if they are delayed for eight or ten years in their golden age, they will be doomed to have no chance to build the foundation in their lifetime.

Besides, hiding in the mundane world is not necessarily safe.

Cultivation sects have many means to sense the fluctuation of a cultivator's mana.

Unless one has an excellent Qi Convergence Technique, one can avoid it.

Of course, the Liang Immortal Cultivation Sect's war is far from being at the end of its rope, so much so that it goes to the mundane world to capture the strong men.

The quality of the low-ranked cultivators hiding in the mundane world is worrying.

Currently, the Liang clans are targeting the spirit vein dojos around the world.

Large and small cultivation forces, such as clans, immortal cities, and chambers of commerce, all have spirit vein dojos.

The monk can't run away from the temple.

Especially the kind of bloodline connected, drag the family immortal family, only honestly contribute to the effort.

......

"Chi Feng, what are your plans next?"

"When the late generation recuperates from their injuries, they will......"

Qi Feng stammered, with an unspeakable sense of bewilderment.

Little Turtle Peak is only a temporary shelter.

Liang was caught up in the Immortal Cultivation War, and he, as a wanted small cultivator of Qi Refining, drifted out without a place to stand.

He can only go with the flow, life and death depends on fate.

Lu Changan said, "Little Turtle Peak is short of an odd-job errand keeper, are you willing to stay and sell your labor?"

"Stay at Little Turtle Peak to do odd jobs?"

Qi Feng was stunned for a moment and ecstatically kneeled down to thank him.

"Late generation is willing! Grandpa Lu's kindness of taking him in, Chi Feng remembers it in his heart!"

When he first entered Little Turtle Peak, it was as if he had stepped into a pure land free from the world, guarded by spirit beasts and with picturesque scenery.

Deep in his heart, Qi Feng longed for such a spiritual vein dojo, but he didn't dare to think about it.

Aunt Guan did not allow him to come to Little Turtle Peak easily, and obviously did not want to bother this Foundation Stage ancestor.

"You practicing the Open Source Sutra left behind by Mister Lu and embarking on the path of immortality is a chance."

Lu Chang'an raised his hand, signaling him to get up.

A hundred years ago, he undertook the favor of his righteous father and left behind the Open Source Sutra in the Nujiang Gang, leaving behind immortal destiny for his descendants.

Together with Guan Qiaozhi's relationship.

In consideration of the two old friendships, Lu Chang'an made an exception and took in Qi Feng.

"Qi Feng, you have cultivated to the eighth level of Qi Refining, have you ever used a step-breaking elixir?"

Lu Changan asked him about his cultivation status.

"No." Qi Feng replied honestly. Lu Changan nodded his head in satisfaction as he saw that he had a solid foundation.

"Take these bottles of pills and use them first. In the future, if there is anything you don't know about cultivation, you can ask me for advice."

"Thank you, Grandpa Lu for your kindness."

Qi Feng suppressed the surprise and excitement in his heart and bowed to receive the elixir.

To be able to cultivate in a second-stage spirit vein dojo, and to be instructed by a late-stage Foundation Establishment master, for him, who had experienced the hardships of a casual cultivator's career, it was an opportunity that he could only dream of.

The pills given by Lu Chang'an came from a part of his previous alchemy practice, and the quality was not bad.

Now that the Liang Immortal Cultivation World is at war, he has plans to escape to a foreign country.

During the preparation for the transition, Lu Chang'an doesn't mind mentioning the descendants of his righteous father.

......

Qi Feng walked out of the cave and took a deep breath of the fresh air of the mountain top.

The pure spiritual qi of the second-stage spirit vein dojo made his heart happy and the operation of the mana in his body was a few points smoother.

"Sister Lan."

Before his injuries were healed, Qi Feng took the initiative to find his maid, Lan Rou, to learn about the affairs on the mountain.

There was only one maid on the mountain, so there wasn't really enough manpower.

Fortunately, there were spirit pets and puppets on the mountain that took care of most of the labor work.

After discussing for a moment, the two of them clarified the division of labor.

"Nowadays, the world outside is not peaceful, you are responsible for guarding the mountain, helping the master to go out and run errands, and sharing some of the chores on the mountain."

"No problem, little brother has been a dart guard before."

Chiffon returned to his old job and felt very close to him.

Except for his combat experience, he didn't have any good skills.

The two of them were chatting.

A second-ranked flying boat carrying three cultivators came straight to Little Turtle Peak.

The head of the boat stands a long bearded man, about thirty or forty years old, is a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Behind him, a man and a woman are two Qi refining cultivators, respectively at the eighth and ninth Qi refining levels.

"Sect inspection cultivators!"

Qi Feng's heart thumped, immediately recognizing that the male and female clan Qi Refining cultivators had hunted down and searched for him not long ago.

The pair of men and women from the sect saw Qi Feng and exchanged low voices with the long bearded man at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The man with the long beard glanced at him.

Qi Feng was so flustered that he didn't dare to look directly at this high ranking Foundation Establishment man of the clan.

He was about to go to the cave to inform, when Lan Rou's soft and pleasant voice, which was not condescending, came from his ears:

"Senior Liu, my master has informed me that he invites you to his residence."

"Please trouble Miss Lan to lead the way."

The long bearded man revealed a kind smile and entered the Little Turtle Peak Cave Mansion under Lan Rou's reception.

In the meantime, he did not look at Qi Feng more than once.

Chi Feng, who had regained his composure, noticed two details.

The sect's Foundation Establishment Cultivator came in person, and Grandpa Lu didn't come out to greet him personally.

Moreover, that Liu Foundation Establishment Cultivator was more polite to Lan Rou, a maid.

Qi Feng and that pair of male and female cultivators of the clan, wide-eyed, momentarily cold.

Qi Feng sensed that the two sect cultivators who were chasing after him the other day no longer had much hostility in their eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Qi, what is your connection with Senior Lu?"

The female cultivator of the sect broke the silence and revealed a subtle smile, probing.

"Grandpa Lu and I......"

Qi Feng's thoughts flew, and he answered smartly, no longer rushed in his speech, and appeared to be calm and unruffled.

Unconsciously, the three people who were enemies before, actually chatted with each other.

This is the first time I've ever seen the world's most popular movie.

Lu Chang'an and the man with the long beard walked out of the cave, talking happily with each other.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, we are all family, there is no need to send them off with politeness."

The long bearded man's face was rosy and his tone was delighted.

Before saying goodbye, he glanced at Qi Feng:

"Little friend Qi, in the future, stay at Little Turtle Peak without fear. The wanted on you, the evidence is insufficient, when it is presented to the Law Enforcement Hall, with Elder Zhang taking care of it, it can be formally crossed off the list."

"Thank you elder for your care."

Qi Feng bowed and bowed, overjoyed, at the same time, his heart set off shocking waves.

Without investigation and cross-examination, he, a major suspect, was just removed from the charge?

Perhaps the other side doesn't care about the truth. ......

Busy half a day chiffon, will be an exquisite fruit plate, presented to the front of Lan Rou, compliments for a moment.

"Sister Lan, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator from Golden Cloud Valley, why is he so polite to Grandpa Lu?"

Chi Feng had doubts in his heart and didn't dare to ask Lu Chang'an directly.

"That Inspector Liu, has a request for your lordship."

Lan Rou slowly and methodically ate the spirit fruit.

"Two months ago, Inspector Liu requested Master to refine a quasi third-order talisman in a task apportioned by the sect, and Master refused due to lack of ability and did not buy his account."

"This person did not harbor a grudge?"

"His Lordship's close friend, 'Tian Feng Zhen Zhen', is an outer sect elder of the Golden Cloud Valley and the Vice Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall. He can't even wait to flatter him, how would he dare to be angry?"

"Golden Cloud Valley Elder?"

Qi Feng's heart shook, this non-blood ancestor of his had such powerful connections.

In the evening.

Two neighboring main peaks, flew out two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, heading straight to Little Turtle Peak.

The two Foundation Cultivators, a man and a woman, are very elegant, and the spiritual pressure on their bodies is better than that of the previous Willow Patrol.

Especially that foundation-building female cultivator, a moonlight-colored dress, tall and voluptuous, elegant and elegant, rhyme high and quiet.

Qi Feng was shocked by the heavenly, scattered cultivator origin, he has never seen this kind of temperament of the Foundation Establishment female cultivator.

"Fairy Shi and Apothecary Ye are here."

Lan Rou organized her appearance and hurriedly went forward to receive them.

Lu Chang'an also greeted them from the cave.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist Lu, on your promotion to the late stage of Foundation Establishment."

Fairy Shi and Ye Fei had come over to offer their congratulations.

Previously, Lu Chang'an had just broken through his cultivation and needed to consolidate his realm, so they didn't come over first.

As for Lu Chang'an's promotion to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, Ye Fei had mixed feelings of surprise and envy.

Regardless of his age, taking this crucial step, Lu Chang'an caught up with most of the Foundation Establishment stage.

The majority of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators are unable to advance to the Late Stage realm for life.

Master Fairy was smiling, as a former pillow, fighting side by side with Lu Chang'an, having a deeper understanding, not surprised.

At the age of one hundred and forty, advancing to the late stage of Foundation Establishment is indeed rare.

However, Lu Chang'an's cultivation speed is gentle, one step at a time, steady, and does not show any abnormalities.

Many years ago, he asked Yellow Dragon Mountain to collect materials and refine a late stage Foundation Establishment breaking elixir.

Sufficient financial resources, cultivation of life skills, deep foundation, state of mind better than ordinary people, and then have to break the rank of the elixir...... all kinds of support, Lu Changan's breakthrough, stand up to scrutiny.

This situation, the outside world at most guessed that he has a certain chance, not much.

Which casual cultivator who can cultivate to the late stage of Foundation Establishment doesn't have a chance?

Now, Lu Changan's ability to protect the Dao has greatly improved, and with the powerful connections of the clan elders, he doesn't even need to hide the Xuan Shui Turtle's second-stage cultivation anymore.

......

Inside the cave, Lu Changan hosted a banquet to celebrate, taking out the second-order spirit wine and treating the two peak masters.

The wine has passed three rounds.

Ye Fei, with a rosy face and a hiccup, opened his mouth and said:

"With your talisman attainments, why don't you draw more high-quality talismans to gain battle credits and exchange them for some scarce resources."

"It's not cost-effective."

Lu Changan shook his head and said, "If you want to exchange war merit, you have to go beyond the basic tasks that you are assessed, and there are requirements for talisman grades. Mister Lu is not short of spirit stones and cultivation resources for the time being."

"Moreover, at such an age, Mister Lu already has no hope of attaining dan, there is no need to labor day and night."

During the war, Liang clans opened up war merit exchange to cultivators recruited, and even to cultivators who shared in logistical tasks.

However, this exchange rule is very chicken and thieves.

Cultivators who go to the front line to kill are given more generous war merit, which is relatively easy to obtain.

However, this kind of cultivator is easy to die in battle, and the risk is high, so he probably won't be able to enjoy it.

Craftsmen who provide logistic resources have a much lower percentage of war merit, and they also have corresponding requirements for rank.

If Lu Changan could steadily refine and supply quasi-third-order talismans, the battle merit he would obtain would be very considerable, and he could even exchange it for most of the rare materials of the Crystal Condensation Pill. However, Lu Chang'an had been through several lifetimes and understood the principle of "those who can do more will do more".

If you show too much ability, you may be given more tasks to share and be expected to do more.

Therefore, Lu Chang'an adopted the strategy of being a fish out of water.

He only accomplished the basic apportioned tasks and did not expect to gain battle merits.

He doesn't care about the small amount of war merit.

Too much war merit will easily attract the attention of the clan's senior management, and if he runs away in the future, it will increase the invisible resistance.

"No hope of attaining dan?"

Fairy Shi pursed her lips and smiled lightly, if meaningfully,

"Fellow Daoist Lu can be called the representative cultivator of the Liang Immortal Cultivation Realm, with a hundred years of life left. In the future, if he meets a great opportunity, he may not be unable to break through another layer of the Great Limit."

The theoretical upper limit of the Foundation Establishment Stage's lifespan can be up to two hundred and forty years.

However, 90% of Foundation Establishment cultivators, not counting those who die in the middle of the journey, only live to be about two hundred years old.

In a long period of one or two hundred years, most of the cultivators will have ups and downs in their lives, experiencing great joys and great sorrows, and encountering certain accidents.

In addition to fighting, small omissions in cultivation techniques can affect life expectancy.

"Borrowing the auspicious words of the Master Fairy, it is a blessing of eight lifetimes for Mister Lu to be able to procure a False Dan in this life."

Lu Chang'an heard the hint in Fairy Shi's words.

The so-called great opportunity refers to the ancient ruins in the Black Mist Mountain Range.

According to the agreement, after Lu Chang'an was promoted to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, this matter would be elevated on the agenda.

Ye Fei concurred, "Fellow Daoist Lu is old and strong, and with a hundred years of time, there should be a few hopes of achieving False Dan."

......

By late night.

Lu Changan sent the two peak masters out of the cave.

Fairy Shi stayed behind and exchanged a few words with Lu Chang'an alone.

"You haven't seen any ground rock rats in the last few months?"

Master Fairy's pair of clear eyes explored around the mountain for a while and said in surprise.

In the past, every time she came to Little Turtle Peak, even if the Ground Rock Rats didn't show up, she could still vaguely feel the sense of secret surveillance.

"A few months ago, the Ground Rock Rat was brought to the Zhou Family by Miss Zhou to be baptized by the 'Blood Spirit Pool', so it should be coming back soon."

Lu Chang'an explained.

The quota for the Blood Spirit Pool, Lu Changan thought deeply and finally gave it to the Ground Rock Rat.

The Blood Spirit Pool can significantly increase the cultivation of spirit beasts, as well as improve their physique and slightly enhance their bloodline.

The Xuan Shui Turtle's bloodline is of high grade, and the effect of raising the bloodline is minimal, so the cost performance is too low.

As for raising one's cultivation, it's not that bad.

The Xuan Shui Turtle had been practicing Lu Chang An's Evergreen Kung Fu for years, and the speed boost was already very fast.

A few days ago, Zhou Qingxuan wrote back that the Earth Rock Rat was living a good life in the Zhou family, and had many of its own kind to keep it company, so it didn't come back at the first time.

Lu Changan wasn't worried about what had happened to the ground rock rat.

As long as he is safe and sound and does not go to the Zhou family, Zhou Qingxuan will not be able to play any tricks.

"Fellow Daoist Lu has just entered the late stage of Foundation Establishment, so you might as well consolidate for a year and a half and prepare more means."

Shi Manrong changed to voice transmission.

"In the meantime, my concubine contacted Jiang Yichen and dealt with him."

"Oh, which option does Fairy Shi intend to use?"

The two strategies Lu Chang'an had previously mentioned were analyses from the standpoint of a bystander.

Which option to adopt and whether or not to make a move was based on the Master Fairy's thoughts.

"My concubine is prepared to be polite first and try not to make a move." The Master Fairy mused, "However, Jiang Yichen recently returned to the Jiang Clan and encountered considerable trouble, so I'm afraid it's not a good idea to contact him."

"The Jiang family, one of the seven great families?"

Lu Chang'an thought for a moment, thinking of where the Jiang family was located on the map of Liang, he probably guessed what the trouble Jiang Yichen was facing was.
