Chapter 230: A Well-Rounded Return
Chapter 230 Returning Successfully
Two days later.
The Cloud Smoke Immortal City at the end of the auction has seen a huge drop in foot traffic. Immortal Seeking Mansion Inn.
Inside the superior guest room in the unique courtyard, Lu Chang'an set up temporary formations and isolation barriers.
He closed his eyes and sat in meditation, taking the high-priced second-order Life Extension Pill.
Suddenly, a subtle qi of the rotation of the years lingered around Lu Changan's body.
It was as if he had transformed into an ancient tree, as spring and fall came and went, and the withered tree sprang back to life, round after round.
This time, the medicinal effect lasted longer than any other time in the past.
"Extend life by twenty-eight years!"
Lu Chang'an opened his ink-like deep pupils, and his body exuded an aura of the vicissitudes of time.
His state of mind had been calmed and his magical power had been raised a little.
To be honest, the effect of the Fine Life Extension Pill is beyond Lu Changan's expectations.
A trace of surprise swept across his face as he pondered:
"A normal cultivator, taking a normal second-order Life Extension Pill, will extend his life by more than ten years, and a fine product will not exceed fifteen years."
Lu Chang'an doubled the effect of taking it because of the special Evergreen Kung Fu, and it could stack life extension, only the potency would decay.
"In that case, if I take a fine product's Second Order Life Extension Pill, the medicinal effect is rather calculated from scratch?"
Lu Chang'an came to a preliminary conclusion.
For an ordinary cultivator to achieve this effect, he would have to take a higher grade Third Order Life Extension Pill, or a corresponding grade of Life Extension Spirit Item.
Lu Chang'an thought that a high-quality Life Extension Pill was equivalent to half a grade.
Ordinary cultivators can stack the effect of life extension to a certain extent, not to mention himself.
"Longevity of four hundred and ninety-seven years."
This was the sixth Second Stage Life Extension Pill that Lu Chang'an had taken.
He estimated that if he took another ordinary Second Order Life Extension Pill, his longevity would break through five hundred years.
"The medicinal effect is indeed good! It's a pity that high-quality Life Extension Pills are too difficult to find, with harsh requirements for both the materials and the alchemist."
Lu Changan tasted it and even had a feeling of addiction.
Having more longevity was of great benefit to him.
Concerning the strength of his mana, he had more time to plan for the Great Realm and didn't have to risk life and death to fight for resources.
Moreover, the Evergreen Secret Technique consumes longevity, which can be used to cultivate the Xuanmu Gourd Vine and produce precious medicinal herbs.
In the Immortal Cultivation world, there are too many powerful means of consuming longevity.
For example, the art of divination and projection.
In this line, prying into the heavens and utilizing powerful divination techniques can easily deplete one's lifespan.
In his second life, Lu Chang'an had only learned a little bit of the art of divination. Besides not having so much energy, he had concerns in this regard.
The effect of the Boutique Life Extension Pill made Lu Chang'an have more expectations and plans for the future.
......
Lu Chang'an waited for three more days in Cloud Smoke Immortal City, and finally received news from the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce.
Eight days had passed since the appointment, and the Cold Jade Realist hadn't overstayed his welcome.
Lu Changan went to the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce.
This time, he was received not only by the Cold Jade Realist, but also by another False Pill Realist of the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce.
The latter was a white-haired old man with only twenty years of life left, and was the former president of the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce.
Lu Changan guessed that the Cold Jade Realist was worried about the strength and identity of "Realist Xiang" and found a helper.
"Makoto Xiang, this is the 'Fatal Yuan Pill' that our Chamber of Commerce expedited to Cloud Smoke Immortal City."
The silver-haired, snow-robed Cold Jade Realist, with a cold voice, stroked her skirt and sleeves, and flipped out a goat's fat bottle with her jade hand.
Opening the cap of the bottle, a grayish-white elixir with demonic smoke, reflected into Lu Chang'an's vision.
Lu Chang'an nodded his head slightly after probing it with his divine sense.
The Ground Rock Rat in his spirit pet pouch was agitated.
"If there is no problem with Mr. Xiang, let's trade with the previous agreement."
"Good."
Lu Chang'an took out the dark purple Third Order Demon Pill.
The two trade items, under the control of mana, drifted towards each other in synchronization.
No accidents happened, Lu Chang'an smoothly got the Fatal Yuan Dan, with a smile on his face and a certainty in his heart.
This transaction was so stable, thanks to the powerful strength and potential identity he had created.
If it was a Foundation Stage with no background, I'm afraid the risk of this level of transaction would not be small.
The Yuan Fury Pill helps demonic beasts advance to the third level and is considered a strategic resource controlled by the major powers in the Immortal Cultivation World. "Real Xiang is indeed a man of his word! The Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce is willing to make you a friend."
The Cold Jade Realist who got the third-ranked demonic pills confirmed that there was no mistake and breathed a sigh of relief, her face revealing a smile like the melting of the winter snow.
Lu Chang'an's demonic pills, although downgraded to the lower grade of the third order, is a rare lightning attribute, the power of the demonic pills is pure.
When used to refine the Braking Yuan Pill, it will slightly increase the success rate and quality.
If one meets a suitable True Dan cultivator, there is a chance to sell it for a high price.
Thus, the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce is still able to make a profit from this deal.
Lu Changan knew this very well. But this is a reasonable profit margin for the other party.
The big chambers of commerce have more channels and connections, including some masters of the art. This is an advantage that individual cultivators can hardly match.
"I am grateful for Fairy Cold Jade's favor!"
Lu Changan heard the other party's words.
"It's a pity that Xiang Mou is not a neighboring cultivator, I'm afraid I won't have many chances to make friends in the future."
If there was no need for this kind of high end transaction, Lu Changan did not want to act outside in the capacity of Xiang Zhenran.
At the moment, the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce only suspects that he is a Xiang Zhengen, but is not completely sure.
At the auction, the other cultivators didn't even know his surname.
......
After the transaction, the three of them took their seats and chatted for a few moments.
"Is Real Xiang trading the Fury Yuan Dan in preparation for his spirit pet's conjugation?"
The white-haired old man next to Realist Cold Jade smiled as he stroked his beard.
Lu Changan nodded, "That's right."
"Demonic beasts impacting the conjugation is different from us cultivators. Can Real Xiang find a suitable place for conjugation?"
"This matter has yet to be determined."
Lu Chang'an was slightly hesitant and shook his head.
A Foundation Establishment Cultivator needs a third-order Spirit Vein Dojo to form a dan.
There is a difference between demonic beasts and humans, more than half of their strength is related to their physical body and bloodline, and the need for a Spiritual Vein Dojo is slightly lower.
Generally speaking, a quasi-third-order spirit vein dao field is sufficient.
If it is coupled with the "Demon Fiend Formation" and invested with spirit stones and corresponding precious materials, it is a more suitable environment.
In this way, we can get close to the spirit veins in the Black Mist Mountain Range that contain demonic qualities.
In contrast, for human cultivators to reach dan, the environment of a third-order spiritual vein is indispensable, unless there are heavy treasures or special heaven and earth spirits to complement them.
In the Jing Country's Immortal Cultivation Realm, in order for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to impact the JieDan, he needs to borrow the third-order spirit veins of the major immortal cities of the Merchant Alliance.
This requires an application, the endorsement of the identity of the Chamber of Commerce power, and the payment of a sum of spirit stones.
After all, impacting the third level requires a huge amount of heaven and earth spiritual qi, which will have an impact on the Immortal City's protective formation. In any place in the Immortal Cultivation World, there must be at least the tacit approval of the Immortal City's management forces.
This was also the reason why Lu Chang'an was willing to stay with the Xia Clan.
With the endorsement of the Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce, it would be easier for him to pass the vetting process when he wants to attain dan, as a cultivator of the Chamber of Commerce that has been rooted in the Jing Kingdom for many years.
"My Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce is in the business of demonic beast materials, and I have teamed up with another chamber of commerce to master a secret place within the Black Mist Mountain Range. There is a special spirit vein place suitable for demonic beasts to impact the conjugation of dan, and there is even a small amount of gain."
The Cold Jade Realist and the white-haired old man looked at each other and opened their mouths.
Lu Chang'an's heart stirred as he heard this and continued to listen to the following.
"This special spirit vein place is generally not open to other chambers of commerce or individual cultivators. Unless one has a deep friendship with our two major chambers of commerce and is willing to pay a certain price."
"What is this price?"
Lu Chang'an asked bluntly.
Realist Cold Jade said, "It can be a rare spiritual object, or a certain promise......"
"Well, when Xiang Mou goes back, he will consider it for a moment or two."
Lu Chang'an understood that the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce valued his strength and background, and that he kept his word on this transaction, hence the reason for this.
The Black Mist Mountain Range's special spiritual vein is indeed more suitable for the Earth Rock Rats to condense pills, but it is not a necessary condition.
Lu Changan borrowed the Xia Clan's quasi-third-order spirit vein, and with the Demon Fury Formation and corresponding precious materials, the ground rock rat could also impact the third-order.
Of course, if the Xia Clan knew about the situation, they would have made conditions. And after the investigation afterward, Lu Changan's true identity would, most likely, be exposed.
In the neighboring Immortal Cultivation World, Lu Chang'an was not an important person or a wanted criminal of the clan. On the premise that the Ground Rock Mouse had successfully formed a dan, even if his original identity was exposed in the future, it would not be a big deal.
......
Returning to the Immortal Seeker Inn, Lu Changan pondered for a moment.
"I still need a lot of years to reach the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. First, I will help the Earth Rock Rat to become a dan, so that it will be a false dan. In the future, when I impact on my dan, the cultivation and deterrent power of the Earth Rock Rat will be able to protect my dan."
The idea of forming a dan in the Jing Country had been clear to him for a long time.
After all, Lu Chang'an did not have any once-trusted friends to look after him in the Jing Country's Immortal Cultivation World.
The Ground Rock Mouse will be able to protect him in the future.
At the critical moment of the dan formation, the cultivator's energy is pulled and he can't fight, so there is a period of weakness.
When Fu Xuemei was in her dan, she couldn't intervene in the fight outside, and at most sent out some talismans and talismanic treasures to protect the Taoist path.
Lu Changan and the ground rock rat also have a hundred years of relationship, and there is a spirit pet contract restrictions, do not worry about it will betray.
Lu Changan's divine sense and physical body are powerful, and he also has the killer weapon of the Nine Seal Tablet.
Even if the rock rat rises to the third stage and achieves true dan, without a great divide in its soul, it will still be difficult for it to devour its master and forcibly get rid of its spirit pet contract.
Before leaving Cloud Smoke Immortal City, Lu Changan called Wang Feng over.
"What are senior's orders."
Wang Feng bowed respectfully, not daring to utter a single breath.
It was only after the auction that Wang Feng learned that the old man in straw raincoat that he received was actually a False Dan Realist.
"The old man is leaving Cloud Smoke Immortal City, this is your reward money."
Lu Changan waved his sleeve robe.
Twenty spirit stones and a jade cylinder fell into Wang Feng's hands.
"Thank you senior for the reward."
Wang Feng was grateful and thanked him again.
He wasn't really acting, now that he had become a bottom level cultivator, it was difficult to move around without spirit stones.
When he was chased by the devil cultivators, and then encountered the robbers, his storage bag was not able to bring back to the territory of Jing Country.
Wang Feng sent Lu Changan out of the Immortal Seeking Mansion.
Only when he returned to his own place did he take out the jade cylinder that Lu Changan had gifted him.
"A prescription for toning your body?"
Wang Feng's heart shook as he checked the contents of the jade cylinder.
The prescription recorded in the jade cylinder was for the dark disease left behind by the fall in his cultivation and the damage to his meridians and dantian, which required some precious herbs.
The secret of his body was seen through, Wang Feng was terrified.
"I'm afraid this senior is a high level person! I wonder if he can tell my true identity?"
Wang Feng had an intuition that he might have missed an opportunity to return to the Leaving Fire Palace in Liang.
The other party could see the problem with his identity but did not make things difficult, so it was clear that there was no malicious intent.
He hurriedly chased out of the Immortal Seeking Mansion Inn, but he had already lost track of the old man in straw raincoat.
......
Lu Changan didn't want to get involved with Mr. Wang for the time being, even though he might be able to dig out secrets on the other party.
Wang Gongzi had the background of a powerful elder of the Li Fire Palace, and was probably a great cultivator of the late JieDan stage, on the same level as his peak in his previous life.
As a result, Lu Chang'an did not make things difficult for him before he left, but even offered him some good karma.
The prescription requires a lot of precious herbs, if Mr. Wang has the ability to get the spirit stones, then he may be able to restore his cultivation.
Two days later.
Lu Chang'an, far away from Cloud Smoke Immortal City, regained the original appearance of the "Wu Fan" dan master.
Lu Chang'an flew to the Xia Clan in Qingsha Bay after returning home with a full load.
The next day, half an hour away from Qingsha Bay.
Lu Chang'an flew over the open Changhong River.
Qing Sha Bay is a branch of the Chang Hong River, the latter being one of the three major river areas of the Jing Kingdom.
"Eh?"
Lu Chang'an was in a relaxed state of mind, enjoying the river scenery, when he suddenly sensed the movement of the fight.
When he fixed his eyes on it, he saw two gray-robed Foundation Establishment cultivators chasing after a tall, blue-robed female cultivator.
"Fellow Daoist, save me! Concubine 'Xia Shenglan', a cultivator from Qingsha Bay......."
Blue dress female cultivator foundation middle stage cultivation, appearance in the upper, dignified and beautiful. At the moment, she is in a terrible state, her dress is stained with blood, her face is pale, and she is sweating profusely. This woman is obviously after a fight, the injury is not light, magic power is not good.
Swish!
As the Rainbow River opened up, Xia Shenglan spotted Lu Changan flying towards Qingsha Bay, and as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, she exploded her secret technique and flew towards this side.
"Fellow Daoist don't mind your own business!"
Two gray-robed cultivators, mid- and late-stage Foundation Establishment.
The speaker was a lean young man in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, controlling an extremely high-grade magic weapon of a banner, rolling up a green-colored wind haze accompanied by a sharp wind blade, chasing after the blue-robed female cultivator Xia Shenglan.
"Are you...... Master Wu Dan?"
Xia Shenglan flew close to some distance and looked at the round-faced, yellow-bearded middle-aged man, surprisingly guessing Lu Changan's identity.
The two had never met within the clan.
Lu Changan had some guesses about her identity, and it seemed that he had heard Xia Wen Yue mention it once before during casual conversations.
"As an external cultivator of the Xia Clan, how could Mister Wu see death in the vicinity of the clan's land?"
Lu Chang'an did not panic and offered up a Silver Shield Extreme Grade Fabricated Artifact.
Buzz!
The silver shield shot out, its surface glittering with crystal light, expanding to several zhang in length and width against the wind, covering Xia Shenglan as she came over to join Lu Changan.
There were only two Foundation Establishment Stage visitors, although there was a Late Foundation Establishment Stage, Lu Chang'an didn't put it in his mind.
In any case, in the vicinity of the clan's land, by the way to help, to sell the Xia clan a good.
"Haha, Wu Daoyou, you were forced to sign a spirit contract with the Xia Clan back then, only the original duty of alchemy. Why bother to sell your life for such a clan and take your own little life."
A loud male voice with disdain came from another burly man in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
This man's cultivation was actually at the peak of Foundation Establishment.
"Hehe, so it's Fellow Daoist Fang Zhong."
Lu Chang'an glanced at the burly man, sensing the fierce aura on his body, he realized the other party's disguise and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, remembering that we knew each other on the spirit ship of the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce back then, you flash to the side, and Mister Fang will leave you a little life."
Fang Zhong did not deny his identity, his voice was stern.
Xia Shenglan was seriously injured, her magic weapon was damaged, and her body was overdrawn due to her secret technique.
If Lu Changan did not know what to do, Fang Zhong was confident that he could kill him before the reinforcements from the Xia Clan arrived at Qingsha Bay.
The 19th update will be at noon or in the afternoon.
