Chapter 220 - Third Order Formation Master
Chapter 220 - Third Order Formation Master
"Indeed a tricky character."
Lu Chang'an naturally had no choice but to say that Xiang Jinglong was wanted by the Departing Fire Palace and had joined the Demon Sect thanks to him.
Now, this person has become a major obstacle in his journey to the Jing Country.
Of course, even without Xiang Jinglong, there are still Xiang Daolong and Xiang Shaolong.
The Devil Sect will always send a strong figure to intervene in the chaotic borderlands to gain the resource benefits and voice of this area.
"Without going through these chambers of commerce and dart protection organizations, will individual cultivators be able to cross the border and reach the Jing Kingdom?"
Lu Chang'an asked.
"It's hard!"
Li Congren shook his head and said, "Between the two countries, the road is long, and in between there are large areas of poor spirit land, or even extinct spirit land, including heavenly danger areas. The best way is to take a giant boat spirit ship, driven by formation spirit stone, without the need to lose their own mana, and its favorable to resist all kinds of risks in the outside world......"
Lu Chang'an revealed a look of understanding.
Spirit-poor and spirit-exhausted lands mean that it is difficult to replenish a cultivator's mana after a long journey. With a tired body, the ability to fight against the risks of the outside world is greatly reduced.
Even without the suppression of Liang's clans and the threat of the Demon Sect, the ambush of robber cultivators on the road alone would be enough to eat a pot of food.
The robber cultivators, villains, and wanted criminals that roam the borders of the two countries are much more ferocious than those in Liang.
"In the past, when there was no war, a true Pseudo-dan practitioner could easily cross the border, and a strong late stage Foundation Establishment practitioner would have a little bit of hope. But nowadays, during this special period, it is risky for even a False Pill Realist to travel alone."
"Half a year ago, there was a false Dan real person crossing the border, was attacked and died......"
Li Congren did not recommend individuals to cross the border.
According to his understanding, most of the False Dan real people who travel to and from Liang are currently traveling on giant boats and spirit ships.
For one, it's comfortable and doesn't require exhausting long-distance rushes.
Secondly, it is safer, and it is possible to keep warm with the help of the giant boat's formation to defend against the enemy.
Lu Chang'an secretly thought, "In this case, the program of disguising as a False Dan real person and crossing the border is not very good to implement."
After advancing to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, his Divine Sense was comparable to that of a False Pillar Realist, and with the Hundred Illusion Mask, he could disguise himself as a False Pillar Realist of a higher cultivation level.
He had previously thought of using this high-profile method to cross the border in a hidden way.
"When the Hundred Illusion Mask disguises its identity, it slowly consumes divine sense. The higher the cultivation level of the simulation, the greater the consumption of divine sense. The long journey, the double consumption of divine sense and mana, in case you are crouched......"
Lu Changan secretly shook his head and dismissed this thought for the time being.
"If Grandpa Lu wants to go to the Kingdom of Jing, Congren recommends the 'Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce'. Looking at the two major Immortal Cultivation Countries, only this force can send people back to the Jing Country relatively reliably." "Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce?" Lu Chang'an had heard a little about this power.
"The Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce is one of the 'Four Great Chambers' of the Jing Kingdom's Merchant Alliance, inherited for thousands of years, and its president is the Vice Alliance Master of the Merchant Alliance. The chamber, which has big business dealings with the Liang Kingdom's sects, is usually not heavily scrutinized by the sects."
"For every round trip, the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce will pay a huge amount of money to have a powerful bodyguard organization escort them. In order to share the cost and gain greater benefits, Nine Stars will secretly sell some 'boat tickets' to bring some Liang cultivators back to Jing Country."
"Oh? Then will the demonic sect block the 'Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce's' giant boat spirit ships."
"The Devil Sect will also give the Chamber of Commerce a thin face. Even if they encountered it, they would be able to get rid of it without killing it. It is said that on the first two trips back to Jing Country, more than half of the cultivators that the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce brought back to Jing Country survived."
"Then where did nearly half of the other cultivators go?"
"The details of that are unclear to Congren."
Li Congren was not sure, "Perhaps it was due to the risks on the road, such as encountering a demonic sect and not being able to get enough ransom. Anyway, most of the cultivators who have the background and sufficient financial resources can arrive safely."
Lu Changan suddenly realized that in the eyes of this grandson's generation, he was the kind of cultivator with sufficient financial resources and a good background.
"How do I have to buy a ticket for the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce ship?"
Lu Chang'an had sufficient financial resources, his cash flow of spirit stones alone exceeded one hundred thousand.
"A boat ticket from the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce requires the introduction of a cultivator from the middle level or above of the Merchant Alliance, and with the intermediary fee, a ticket would cost at least four or five thousand spirit stones."
"Four or five thousand spirit stones?"
Lu Chang'an was secretly surprised, the genuine Foundation Building Pills sold at auctions were often only six thousand spirit stones.
"Does Congren have a channel to help Grandpa Lu purchase a boat ticket?"
"I can, but we, the Snow Plum Mountain Li Clan, don't carry much weight in the eyes of the Jing Kingdom's major chambers of commerce. Grandpa Lu has a friendship with the 'Imperial Beast Zhou Family', so it would be more prudent to ask the Zhou Family to take action."
Mu Congren suggested.
As one of the seven great families of Liang, the Zhou family has dealings with the Jing Chamber of Commerce and has a greater say.
The boat tickets purchased through the Zhou Family's recommendation are more secure during the journey.
Lu Changan thought for a moment, "The Zhou family, I don't trust it too much."
"I'm sorry to trouble Congren to come forward, the cost of which is covered by Grandpa Lu."
"Grandpa Lu don't worry, this matter is entrusted to Congren."
Li Congren promised without thinking.
......
Li Congren estimated that it would take at least a month to purchase the boat tickets, as there were not enough spots available every month.
In the meantime, Lu Chang'an stayed at the Xuemei Mountain Li Clan.
The Xuemei Mountain Li Clan was relatively close to the Imperial Beast Zhou Clan.
"Zhou Qingxuan...... Royal Beast Zhou Clan's newest False Dan Realist in a hundred years, the Supreme Elder?"
At the Snow Plum Mountain Li Clan, Lu Chang'an obtains recent incoming intelligence.
Zhou Qingxuan is a top-grade spiritual root and has an outstanding talent for Royal Beasts, her qualifications and opportunities are better than Zhao Siyao.
Originally, this girl had some hope of being promoted to True Dan.
However, the backlash from Huang Long Zhen Zhen caused her foundation to be damaged.
The stripping away of the Hundred Constellations Soul Compulsion had traumatized her sea of consciousness, including the compulsion prohibitions that hadn't been resolved, which would more or less have an impact.
Achieving the False Pill was in Lu Chang'an's expectations.
......
Half a month later.
Li Congren did not return from his outing.
His wife, Wu Yue'e, took the initiative to come to Lu Chang'an to discuss things.
"Grandpa Lu, these days, the ground rock rats and the little golden rats have a close relationship. If the Ground Rock Mouse carries an heir, I hope that some of the young mice can be kept in Xuemei Mountain."
Wu Yue'e asked for instructions.
Once a rat-type demonic beast is pregnant, it will give birth to a litter.
This is the advantage of reproduction of demonic beasts, although the initial spiritual wisdom, cultivation of immortality and other aspects are not as good as human beings.
Of course, the bloodline of a species that reproduces quickly is not guaranteed to be equal to that of its parents, and the chances of having a bloodline of a lower rank are higher.
"Congren's spirit rats, they didn't leave any heirs before?" Lu Chang'an glanced at the ordinary-looking, unassuming Foundation Establishment female cultivator.
"The little golden mouse is demanding, and has never been in close contact with unusual mice before. Even this time, it was also by......"
Wu Yue'e blushed slightly and swallowed the latter half of her sentence.
Lu Chang'an was amused in his heart.
Li Congren's spirit rats, this time, were actually semi-compelled by......
Back when Li Congren first visited Little Turtle Peak.
The ground rock rat smelled the scent and acted agitated, and at that time, it was estimated that it had taken a liking to the other party's spirit rat.
At that time, Lu Changan asked Li Congren if his spirit rat was a male or female, to which Li Congren replied "male". (Chapter 184)
Later on, the ground rock rats went to the Royal Beast Zhou Family for "further training", and those rat demons obeyed and served them very comfortably, leading a comfortable life.
The Royal Beasts Zhou family, looking at the ground rock rat's mutant bloodline, want to match a little bit of seed, however, the ground rock rat in that period of time, froze, did not "conceive" any heir. (Chapter 202)
At that time, Zhou Qingxuan said that the ground rock rat was very much like Lu Chang'an.
"If the ground rock rat does bear an heir, I'll share some of it with you. However, the ground rock rat must have the right to prioritize the selection of the heir."
Lu Chang'an said.
He wasn't sure if the ground rock rat would carry a child.
According to the previous pattern, it should not.
But Li Congren's spirit rat, with its high bloodline grade and outstanding face value, was obviously very pleasing to the ground rock rat.
......
A few days later.
Li Congren returned safely and came to Lu Changan's guest room for a private meeting.
After Lu Chang'an set up a barrier.
Li Congren handed over a white jade tablet to Lu Chang'an:
"Grandpa Lu, it's a pleasure to honor you."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Lu Changan examined the white jade tablet, and his divine sense entered it to get the basic information of "Crescent Moon Chamber of Commerce Recommendation".
The Crescent Moon Chamber of Commerce should be the Jing Kingdom Chamber of Commerce that Li Congren interacts with more.
Lu Changan asked about the situation and handed a bag of spirit stones to Li Congren.
In addition to the boat ticket and the spirit stones needed to make preparations.
Lu Chang'an additionally gifted Li Congren a second-rank upper-grade puppet.
Li Congren was overjoyed and after a few excuses, he bought the puppet at half price.
Back then, when he was able to establish a foothold in the bitter cold land and open up a family, the puppet sold by Lu Chang'an in the early years played a significant role.
"Grandpa Lu, twenty days later, with this identity jade token, you can board the 'Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce' spirit ship returning to the Jing Country."
Li Congren told Lu Changan the time and place.
......
After the ship ticket was in hand, Lu Changan called back the Ground Rock Rat at the first opportunity.
The ground squirrels are not able to see the shadow of each other, but they are hanging around outside every day.
"Not pregnant?"
Not long after, Li Congren, Wu Yue'e, and a beast tamer arrived at the scene to check the body of the ground rock rat.
The result was slightly disappointing for Mr. and Mrs. Li Congren.
It was repeatedly confirmed that the ground squirrel did not bear the seed of the golden mouse.
Li Congren took a look at the little golden mouse at his feet, which had lost a lot of weight.
These days, the little golden mouse has been working hard day and night, and has suffered a great loss of vitality.
Li Congren's face is painful, forced to smile.
The ground rock rat is refreshed and its fur is brilliant.
Zee!
It gently showed its teeth, and the little golden mouse's legs and stomach went weak, and it burrowed into its master's spirit pet pouch.
"Congren, Yue'e, since the Ground Rock Mouse did not carry a pregnancy, this matter is over, Grandpa Lu will take his leave first."
Lu Chang'an did not stay any longer, collected the Earth Rock Mouse and left.
Wu Yue'e wanted to stop talking, but Li Congren held her hand.
Wu Yue'e didn't know where Lu Chang'an was going.
The little golden mouse has been tossed around for days, but she feels that she has suffered a loss, and she wants Lu Chang'an to be her guest for a few more days.
......
This is the first time I've ever seen a man like Lu Chang'an.
The Zhou Family, hundreds of miles away.
Lu Chang'an sat on a large turtle, his eyes closed tightly, his hands pinched, casting spells from afar.
"This woman has been promoted to False Dan, her lifespan has risen by a hundred years, and her sea of consciousness has been greatly enhanced. Going forward, that compulsion restriction shouldn't need to be stabilized once a year."
"However, when I leave on this trip, I won't return for at least a few decades." Lu Chang'an stayed where he was for a little over half a day.
At a certain moment, he opened his eyes and put away the Xuan Shui Turtle.
Changing his attire, he flew along the branches of the Black Mist Mountain Range, heading west.
After a tea break, the sound of breaking air came.
Accompanied by the spirit pressure of the False Pill real person, a beautiful girl with a jade-like face and eyes like paint, stepped on the clouds and landed on the place where Lu Chang'an had just sat down.
"Obviously asked me to meet here, but you left early yourself?"
Zhou Qingxuan's nose wrinkled lightly as she murmured.
Before she had attained her dan, Zhou Qingxuan possessed a quasi-third-ranked imperial beast that could compete with an ordinary False Dan Realist.
Now that she has been promoted to Pseudo-dan, her strength has more than doubled.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a jade cylinder sitting on the ground where her breath was lingering.
She picked up the jade cylinder and explored it with her divine sense.
A moment later, Zhou Qingxuan put away the jade cylinder with mixed feelings.
The jade cylinder contained the method of stabilizing the compulsion restraints, and the divine soul of a False Pill Realist was sufficient to comprehend it.
In addition, Lu Changan left a message in the jade cylinder, saying that he was going to a remote place to prepare for the completion of the pandan, and told her to take care of herself, and not to break the oath she made back then.
"The method left by Lu Chang'an can only stabilize the compulsion prohibition from attacking, it can't completely dissolve it. Unless we wait for him to succeed in conjugating dan......"
After pondering for a long time, Zhou Qingxuan reversed her direction and flew to Wu Qi Mountain.
Two days later, she arrived at Wu Qi Mountain.
Her divine sense swept over.
As expected, Lu Chang'an was nowhere to be found on Little Turtle Peak. The familiar Xuan Shui Turtle and Earth Rock Rat were no longer there.
On the mountain, there was only a mountain guard and his maid left.
Zhou Qingxuan landed on Little Turtle Peak and chatted with the mountain guard, learning that this person had a slight connection with Lu Chang'an.
Zhou Qingxuan gave the mountain guard Qi Feng a gift and got up to leave.
"Huh! A third-order mountain protection formation?"
As she flew away from Little Turtle Peak, her divine sense subconsciously swept over the two neighboring main peaks.
As a result, she was bounced off by the formation of Little Plate Peak and almost suffered a backlash.
Zhou Qingxuan was shocked... a Third Order Formation Master had been born in Wu Qi Mountain?
The 24th day off, something delayed during the day, after eating the people sleepy.
