Chapter 240 The Secret of the Dao Body

Yu Qin was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment female cultivator, Lu Chang'an didn't care too much about it and was going to remind Young Master Xia about it some other time.

This time, he left the Ground Rock Rat on Autumn Wind Island and traveled alone to Cloud Smoke Immortal City.

A few days later.

Cloud Smoke Immortal City, Ten Thousand Books Pavilion.

A yellow-bearded young man held a jade cylinder in his hand and walked out of the pavilion, his figure quickly blending into the flow of people in the Immortal City.

Ten Thousand Books is the largest chain of bookstores in the Jing Kingdom Business Alliance, which not only sells the mainstream secret techniques, cultivation arts and knowledge, but also includes a number of ancient book remnants.

"The Record of Innate Dao Bodies, priced at 1,800 spirit stones, records most of the Innate Dao Bodies that have appeared over the tens of thousands of years in the Great Qing Cultivation Earth Realm......."

A few moments later, Lu Changan, disguised as a yellow-bearded youth, entered an ordinary inn in the city.

Inside the guest room, his divine sense entered the jade cylinder and checked it out.

The Immortal Cultivation world has many fields and a vast amount of knowledge.

Even if the sea of consciousness of a JieDan cultivator is exploded, the limit of knowledge that his memory can carry may only be a drop in the ocean for the vast Immortal Cultivation World that has lasted for endless years.

Thus, even if Lu Changan is a peak JieDan cultivator, it is impossible for him to have all the information he needs.

For example, the Five Elements of Earth, the Xuan Tian Gourd, and the Innate Treasure Body...... Lu Chang'an would be lacking in information, or his understanding would not be comprehensive enough.

"Found it, the 'Cold Prancing Chalcedony' Innate Dao Body!"

Not long after, Lu Changan found information related to Xia Wen Yue's Dao Body within the jade cylinder.

According to the Record of Innate Dao Body, the Cold Prancing Chalcedony Dao Body had appeared in the Great Qing Cultivation World, but it was a bit colder compared to other mainstream Dao Bodies.

The description therein was much more detailed than the mere words Lu Changan had unintentionally learned from the ancient books in his previous life.

"Xia Wen Yue's innate Dao Body is indeed altruistic."

After reading the records in the jade cylinder, Lu Chang'an's face was flushed with astonishment and surprise.

"It's just......"

Following that, he showed a torn color.

The benefits of the Cold Prancing Chalcedony were beyond Lu Changan's expectations, and there was more than one use for it.

One of the uses was similar to Lu Changan's speculation.

If the owner of the Cold Pranic Chalcedony has cultivated to the Foundation Stage or above, the Cold Chalcedony that has been contained in the jade bone for many years will help to break through bottlenecks and realms.

The higher the cultivation level, the better the effect of breaking through bottlenecks.

At the early stage of Foundation Establishment, the Cold Chalcedony almost ignores the bottlenecks in the Foundation Establishment period, and is far more effective than the level-breaking pills, without affecting the potential of the cultivator.

At the late stage of Foundation Establishment, Cold Chalcedony can slightly increase the chance of pills being formed and slightly improve the quality of the pills.

"It is equivalent to a strengthened version of the Crystal Condensation Pill, close to the effect of a high-quality Crystal Condensation Pill."

Lu Changan would be deceiving himself if he said he wasn't impressed.

However, this kind of effect can only be achieved when Xia Wen Yue cultivates to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, extracting the Cold Chalcedony will permanently damage the potential of the innate Taoist body, which is tantamount to killing the chicken to get the eggs, which is detrimental to others and to oneself.

"The altruistic nature of the Cold Jade Chalcedony is far from maximizing the benefits at the Foundation Establishment Stage......"

Lu Chang'an's eyes flickered as he murmured.

This brings us to the second use of the Cold Prancing Chalcedony Dao Body.

If Xia Wen Yue cultivates to the middle to late stage of the JieDan and still retains her virginity, she will be able to connect the Cold Prana and the Chalcedony, and is expected to produce the only "Tai Yin Jade Liquid" in her body.

"The Tai Yin Jade Liquid can slightly increase the success rate of advancing to the Yuanying stage!"

Lu Changan couldn't help but breathe heavier.

If the Cold Jade Chalcedony at the Foundation Establishment Stage could be forcibly taken by outsiders.

Then the "Tai Yin Jade Liquid" at the JieDan stage must be given to the female cultivator who owns the Dao body, willingly and actively cooperating with the male cultivator through dual cultivation.

It can't be obtained by force.

Giving the "Tai Yin Jade Liquid" will not affect the potential of the Taoist body owner.

As a result, before the JieDan stage of the cold chalcedony body, is the most dangerous stage. After reaching the JieDan stage, the danger is greatly reduced, and it becomes the meat and potatoes that all male cultivators aspire to pursue and seek to please.

As for the third use.

It is a common characteristic of most Yin treasure bodies, and can be used as an excellent object for dual cultivation or a furnace.

Compared to the first two uses, the third one is not as glamorous and can only be described as the icing on the cake.

To Lu Changan, it was even a chicken rib.

His Evergreen Kung Fu cultivation is limited by age.

External forces such as pills can only speed up the efficiency of daily cultivation and cannot change the total cultivation progress.

If Xia Wen Yue breaks through the barrier when her cultivation level is insufficient, she will lose the great opportunity of the "Tai Yin Jade Liquid".

......

"Slightly increasing the chances of advancing to Yuanying is not as good as the Infant Transformation Pill, but even if it only adds a tiny bit of effect, it can make many True Dan cultivators rush to it......."

Lu Chang'an took a deep breath to calm his agitated mind.

"However, wanting to get the 'Tai Yin Jade Liquid' smoothly is not as easy as imagined."

Lu Chang'an understood the difficulties involved.

Even if one is gifted with an Earth Spirit Root, to cultivate to the middle to late stage of JieDan, it often has to take a hundred or so decades.

Not to mention, Xia Wen Yue's preliminary cultivation was delayed for some years.

"A hundred or so decades, there are too many variables in the vicissitudes of the sea!"

"Not only do we have to ensure that she cultivates to the middle to late stage of JieDan, but we also have to clear our minds and keep our bodies like jade all the time."

This was the reason why Lu Chang'an was torn.

Among the conditions to be fulfilled, Xia Wen Yue's cultivation to the JieDan stage was the less difficult one.

With an innate treasure body, as long as one finds the right technique, the speed of cultivation is often that of an Earth Spirit Root to begin with.

The variables of a hundred or so years, as well as the suppression of human desires to keep one's body as a jade, may be the greater difficulty.

Taking Lu Chang'an as an example, he is considered to be pure-hearted among cultivators.

He is now over one hundred and fifty years old, and has experienced only a few relationships or flings, averaging only once every few decades.

It is used to relieve both physical and psychological depression during the boring years of cultivation.

Not to become an emotionless cultivation machine.

"Such a long period of time, not only is the outside world full of variables, but the human heart is also the biggest variable......."

Lu Chang'an is clear, do not look at Xia Wenyue's respect and admiration for himself now, gentle and considerate. But after a hundred years, it's hard to tell.

The potential and advancement speed of an Innate Dao Body is difficult to predict.

Lu Changan's cultivation speed was so flat, he might be caught up or even overtaken after a hundred years.

"Regarding this woman Xia Wen Yue, we still need to think long and hard."

Lu Chang'an pondered for a long time, and had a general conception in his heart.

......

Three days later.

Lu Chang'an changed his identity through the Hundred Illusion Mask and sold two Inferior Grade Foundation Establishment Pills in the big store in Cloud Smoke Immortal City.

With the two Foundation Building Pill materials from the previous years, Lu Chang'an had refined a total of one genuine product and three inferior products.

Originally, Lu Chang'an planned to sell all three inferior products and keep only one genuine product.

Now, the extra inferior product is for Xia Wen Yue.

"With an Innate Dao Body, the cultivation qualifications are at least comparable to an Earth Spirit Root, so there's no need to prepare such a good breakthrough resource."

Lu Chang'an thought so.

In the following days, Lu Chang'an changed his identity again and bought some quasi third-order puppet materials to improve his puppet skills and increase the margin of error in frontal combat.

After completing his purchases, Lu Changan went to the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce to pay a visit to Realist Cold Jade under the identity of the Demoiselle Clothes Elder "Realist Xiang".

In previous years, Lu Chang'an had already consumed all the third-ranked beast pills he had purchased from the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce.

As a third-ranked demon, the Ground Rock Mouse was actually a little bit overwhelmed by the cultivation environment on Autumn Wind Island.

Therefore, Lu Changan had to ensure an adequate supply of beast pills.

Over the years, the ground rock rat's cultivation speed was faster than Lu Changan expected.

Perhaps due to the formation of the "Half-step Jindan", the Earth Rock Rat's cultivation speed in the less-than-ideal aura environment actually exceeded that of most of the top-grade bloodline demonic beasts, and caught up with that of the Earth-grade bloodline. Lu Changan also considered changing the ground rock rat to a more ideal dojo.

But after careful consideration, he finally gave up.

"An appropriately harsh environment can sharpen its mind, sinews and bones, and body and skin."

"Even if we replace it with a third-order spirit vein dojo, at most, it would be a small increase in cultivation speed, so it would be better to let the Earth Rock Mouse settle in the early third-order and polish its foundation a little more. This is for its own good."

In addition, Lu Chang'an had that much more selfishness.

If he hadn't yet formed the dan, and the Earth Rock Mouse was lucky enough to be the first to advance to the middle of the third stage, causing a serious gap, it would make him lose face as the master.

Of course, that was a small probability. Theoretically speaking, it would be very difficult for the ground rock rat to make a breakthrough in fifty years.

......

The Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce's residence.

"Mr. Xiang, it's very unfortunate. Chairman Cold Jade has been out of town recently and is not in Cloud Smoke Immortal City. However, don't worry, I will help gather the shares of this batch of Third Order Beast Pills as soon as possible."

The one who received Lu Chang'an was Chamber Elder Gao Songcheng.

"On the President's side, I will also contact...... as soon as possible."

"There's no need to bother Fellow Daoist Cold Jade, just get the third-order beast pills together."

Lu Chang'an waved his hand.

"Please wait for Mr. Xiang, the share can be gathered within half a month."

Gao Songcheng spoke respectfully and assured.

Lu Changan refused to stay and left the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce's premises, heading to the Immortal Seeking Mansion Inn.

After only a few days.

The Cold Jade Master hurriedly returned to Cloud Smoke Immortal City and hid his identity, coming to the Immortal Seeking Mansion Inn to pay a secret visit to Lu Chang'an.

The top class rooms in the Immortal Seeker's Mansion is a single house with a single courtyard.

In the living room, Lu Chang'an saw a curvy woman in a black dress, taking off her veil, revealing the beautiful face of Cold Jade Reality, as beautiful as snow.

The beauty of the cold jade real person, slightly inferior to Xia Wen Yue, temperament ice beauty noble.

In the circle of real people in the Jing Country Business Alliance, this woman is also a well-known beauty.

"Fellow Daoist Cold Jade concealed her identity and made a private visit, what is the reason for this?"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lu Chang'an wore a smile and went straight to the point.

"Big Brother Xiang, can't Cold Jade find you without business?"

Cold Jade real person lightly stroked her silver hair, pursed her red lips, and said in a quiet tone.

This icy and dignified female True Lord, exuding a snow lotus-like fragrance, naturally snuggled on Lu Chang'an's shoulder.

The night falls, the cold moon is like autumn.

In front of the couch, there are female cultivator's skirt, stockings, embroidered shoes, and a set of male cultivator's white clothes.

Lu Chang'an's palm, caressing on the female real person's bare jade-like beautiful back, expression slightly lazy.

"Brother Xiang, Han Yu has something to discuss with you."

Cold Jade real person's remaining red face, pasted on Lu Changan's chest, whispered.

"What is it that has to be discussed at night?"

Lu Chang'an smiled but not smiled, and could see that the Cold Jade Real Estate or the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce had something to ask for.

The Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce had provided him with a lot of convenience and whored around for so long, Lu Chang'an didn't mind fulfilling the two promises he owed as far as he could.

Cold Jade's eyes were glittering like tears, and she gave him a gentle glance before getting to the point.

"Two months from now, my Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce is preparing to send an important shipment of materials to 'Tai Feng City' in the southern part of the Jing Kingdom. We have hired False Dan leading dart guards, as well as False Dan real people from the Chamber of Commerce accompanying us, a powerful lineup."

"However, this trip concerns a major strategy for the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce. As a precautionary measure, Grandpa Guangjun would like you to lead a third-ranked great demon and secretly protect it for half a month."

The Grandpa Guangjun in the mouth of the Cold Jade Realm is Real Guangjun, the True Dan Ancestor of the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce.

Lu Chang'an had met the other party after the Earth Rock Rat had formed its dan.

"On this trip of traveling, could it be that there are True Dan cultivators intercepting them?"

Lu Chang'an frowned slightly and asked bluntly.

"We, the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce and the hostile forces, have mutual constraints, and it is difficult for us to spare extra True Dan cultivators ourselves."

"Grandpa Guangjun's analysis: there is about a 30% chance that the hostile forces will hire a True Dan cultivator from the outside to intercept. But Brother Xiang, please rest assured that if he senses True Dan level protection, the hostile forces will never fight to the death if they hire a True Dan from the outside, and will generally point blank, or even just give up." Realist Cold Jade spoke in a calm tone, explaining the reason.

She hoped to consume a promise to get Lu Chang'an to make a move.

Under the female Zhenren's expectant gaze, Lu Chang'an brashly patted his chest and said with bravado:

"Xiang Mou is a man of his word and will make his move!"

In a flash, Lu Chang'an has already thought of a countermeasure.

This time, Lu Changan asked the Earth Rock Rat to protect him secretly, and it would be best if the enemy did not come with a True Dan cultivator.

If there is a True Dan cultivator, he will use his True Dan aura to intimidate the other party and hopefully make them back off.

If you want to fight in a bloody battle, or there is a greater threat, then I have to apologize.

The latter is very unlikely.

Internal fights within a merchant alliance usually don't easily trigger a True Dan level battle.

"If this matter comes to fruition, the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce is willing to present three years' worth of third-ranked beast pills."

Realist Cold Jade smiled and offered a reward.

Lu Chang'an nodded his head in satisfaction. Although it was a promise, the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce was very good at their job and did not let themselves go out without compensation.

......

After two more days of cozying up, the cold jade real person hid his identity and quietly left.

"The 'Tai Feng City' in the southern part of Jing Country?"

Lu Changan thought of the details of his agreement with Realist Cold Jade.

Tai Feng City, is a border cultivation heavy city located in the southern part of the Jing Kingdom, relatively close to the Chen Kingdom.

More than half of the transactions between the Jing and Chen Immortal Cultivation worlds pass through Taifeng City.

Taifeng City belongs to the "Taifeng Chamber of Commerce", which is the first of the three major chambers of commerce in the Merchant Alliance.

The Chamber of Commerce is so powerful that it almost rivals the clans, with a late-stage Zhendan cultivator at its helm.

The Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce will be traveling to Taifeng City in two months' time, probably trading with the Chen Immortal Cultivation World.

Seven days later.

Lu Chang'an went to the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce's premises again to get four or five years' share of third-order beast pills.

"This trip to Cloud Smoke Immortal City's purchases are complete, and Xia Yuewen's innate dao body has also been found out."

Lu Chang'an checked and filled in the gaps, found nothing missing and set off on his return journey.

......

Qing Sha Wan, Qiufeng Island Residence.

After Lu Changan returned, he didn't see Xia Wenyue first, but summoned the Ground Rock Rats.

"Thank you master for the reward." The Earth Rock Mouse's voice was tender, and its eyes were shining as it received several bottles of Third Stage Beast Pills from Lu Chang'an.

During the day, the ground rock rat shrunk its body to the size of a hyena and maintained its cultivation at the peak of the late second stage.

Lu Chang'an sat on the reclining chair and casually said:

"During the half a month or so that I was away, what was unusual about that woman?"

Before he left, Lu Changan had explained to the Ground Rock Rat to pay attention to Yu Qin.

Now, he confirmed that Xia Wanyue's Dao Body, which contained the chance to break through the YuanYing, was a big deal.

He was naturally wary of unknown foreign cultivators, especially Yu Qin, who had seduced him, that young master Xia's old lover.

I am sorry! Yang Hou's symptoms recurred, runny nose just, and non-stop coughing, writing this chapter is still non-stop coughing. I've had a checkup and a radiograph, and my lungs are fine.

These days, my body is so weak and uninspired that I'm addicted to reading novels to absorb the nutrients.

I've read a few books, all of them are very bright in the early stage, even stunning, and then either crashed, or boring, or watery. This seems to be the status quo of the starting point, there are fewer books that start well and end well.
