Chapter 259 - JieDan Site
Chapter 259 - JieDan Site
Cultivating to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, one already possesses the basic conditions for Dan Condensation.
Back then, Fu Xuemei, after the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, didn't consolidate for long before she started to impact on Nodulation, and eventually achieved True Dan as well.
But this was a situation of necessity.
Generally speaking, without the pressure of longevity, normal cultivators would try to cultivate to the peak of Foundation Establishment to increase their chances of winning.
If not, it is best to consolidate for a year or two after the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.
"Now that I'm a hundred and seventy years old, I'm going to follow the method of transforming dan, so I don't have to pursue the peak of foundation building."
Lu Chang'an's plan to crystallize dan is just a year away.
If he pursued the peak of the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, with his cultivation speed, it would take at least another ten years.
By then, being over one hundred and eighty years old was becoming more and more conspicuous.
The theoretical upper limit of longevity at the Foundation Establishment stage could reach two hundred and twenty-four years old;however, unusual Foundation Establishment often lived to be around two hundred years old.
Although, perma-cultivators live longer and maintain their physical state a bit longer.
However, if you look at the neighboring Immortal Cultivation Countries, you won't be able to find many people in a thousand years who are still able to achieve pills at the age of one hundred and eighty. Moreover, Lu Chang'an is going to take the path of transforming dan.
He didn't intend to use crystal pills for his first pandemonium, and the pandemonium spirit and other external materials can't make the quality of the pandemonium too high.
The higher the quality of the pills, the more difficult and risky it will be to transform the pills.
The first time you break an elixir, you don't have enough experience, so naturally you need to play it safe.
"After shattering the dan and returning the liquid, you return to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment and your mana is more refined! The next time the dan is formed, the quality of the finished dan can be increased."
This is the principle of all pandan transformations.
During the process of shattering the dan and returning to the liquid, the cultivator will face different degrees of backlash, which will inevitably affect the foundation.
Even if you have a great background, it will take many years of conditioning and consumption of many rare resources before you can get well.
In some cases, the repercussions are so severe that it is difficult to repair them, and the possibility of the next pandan formation will be lost.
Lu Chang'an is different: with his Evergreen Secret Technique, he can easily heal his injuries and repair his foundation by consuming his lifespan.
As long as he recovers his vitality and adjusts his state, it won't take long for him to make his next pandan.
Regarding this point, when Guan Qiaozhi failed to build her foundation and suffered a backlash, Lu Changan helped her protect her and verified it with the Evergreen Technique.
In short.
Lu Chang'an was not worried about the damage to his foundation;
After transforming the dan and returning to the liquid, the interval between the next dan formation is very short.
In addition, the Evergreen Secret Technique of consuming longevity for healing has the effect of miraculously bringing the dead back to life.
This was discovered back then when he saved Miss Mu's life.
This meant that the risk of Lu Changan's Dan Shattering process was drastically reduced!
The process of shattering the Dan, if the backlash is severe and a fatal injury occurs...... Lu Changan consumes his longevity and gives himself a wonderful hand.
As long as there is more life span, there is no need to worry about even the heaviest injuries.
This is also why, Lu Changan did not have a YuanYing to protect him, in the "Return to Dust Dan Transformation Method" itself only 30% success rate, dare to try to take the road of Dan Transformation.
In addition to the Evergreen Secret Technique, Lu Chang'an had two other advantages.
One, the descent of the Shadow of the Second Soul.
Now, the second life of the Nine Seal Tablet has been illuminated.
The peak JieDan soul of the second life is possessed, perfectly fused and indistinguishable.
When Lu Chang'an transformed his dan, it was equivalent to the peak of the late JieDan stage, including the control of divine sense over mana.
This was more useful than a Yuan Ying True Lord Protector.
The process of transforming the dan is mainly by oneself.
After all, a True Monarch's protection is an external force that can at most save one's life and stabilize the spiritual pressure in one's body.
Secondly, the False Dan level of body refining.
After Lu Changan's comprehension of the Return to Dust Dan Refining Method, he discovered that a strong physical body could also reduce the risk of the Dan Refining process.
"Peak JieDan Divine Sense Mastery, False Dan Level Physical Body, Myriad Hands Evergreen Secret Technique......"
"With such great advantages, the method of transforming dan is simply tailor-made for me."
Lu Chang'an became more and more certain of his plan.
If he didn't take the path of Dan Transformation, with the existing resources for conjugation, Lu Chang'an was 99% sure of forming a Midstream True Dan.
The upper reaches of the True Elixir are also more than 70% certain.
As for the Golden Pill, there is little hope.
Although his Evergreen Kung Fu has a deep foundation and very good resources for conjugating the dan, the lower qualification Wood Spirit Root is dragging him down.
Having such a high degree of certainty of achieving an upstream True Dan was almost at the level of an Earth Spirit Root.
Lu Chang'an's goal in this life is YuanYing, in order to increase his chances of winning, he should at least try for the Immortal Golden Dan.
Even if he can't become a Golden Dan, he still wants to form the topmost True Dan and touch the Golden Dan threshold as much as possible.
......
A few days later.
Lu Chang'an flew to the hinterland of Clear Sand Bay to pay a visit to the Xia Clan Chief.
Water Curtain Cave, Tea Room.
The Xia Clan Chief gave him a warm welcome and took out his treasured third-order spirit tea.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you are preparing for the conjugation of the Dan when you first entered the ninth level of Foundation Establishment?"
After a tea break, the Xia Patriarch was surprised to learn of Lu Chang'an's intentions.
"Lu Mou is over 170 years old and cannot delay any longer. Even if he cultivates the Sheng Sheng Gong, his physical state will decline year after year, leading to a decrease in the chances of conjugating the Dan."
Lu Chang'an said in a helpless tone.
Xia Hong Yu lamented, "It is indeed difficult to have it both ways, but Mister Xia still suggests that Fellow Daoist Lu consolidate for a year or two." "Can't wait."
Lu Changan shook his head, "Mister Lu was forced to sign a third-order spirit contract with a True Dan cultivator from the Chen Kingdom's Xie Clan that day. The only way to increase the odds of dealing with it is to break through the great realm."......"
"Xie Wuji, a third-order spirit contract?"
After hearing the reason, Xia Hong Yu's expression was grave.
This matter is a bit tricky.
The third level spirit contract is aimed at the True Dan level.
Even if what Xie Wuji took out was just an ordinary third rank spirit contract, most True Dan cultivators would find it difficult to resist the danger of backlash.
Unless one is a top level JieDan cultivator, or one whose divine sense is close to that of a YuanYing, only then would they be able to resist or dissolve it.
Lu Chang'an had descended in his previous life and merged with this world, his divine sense exceeded the level of a JieDan great cultivator and could resolve the third-stage spirit contract.
If he were to form a True Dan, his divine sense in this life would have risen by a large margin and fused with his previous life, it would be even easier.
"Mister Lu's mind is made up, I will impact the JieDan stage one year later."
Lu Chang'an said with a firm resolve.
Learning of his situation, Xia Hong Yu sighed, no longer persuading and no reason to block.
"Which Immortal City is Fellow Daoist Lu planning to end his dan in? The Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce will help you vouch for it and rent a dojo with a third-order spirit vein."
There was no need for Lu Chang'an to ask for this matter, Patriarch Xia took the initiative to help.
Back then, when Lu Changan saved Xia Shenglan, the Xia Clan owed him a favor.
The third-stage spirit vein was also a necessary condition for the impact of the Dan.
If the spiritual qi is thin, or not of sufficient grade, it will lead to insufficient spiritual pressure, and the success rate of conjugation will be greatly reduced.
This is the "ground" in "Fortune and Law", the dependence on the spiritual veins of the dojo.
If you can dig a hole in the wild and maintain long-term cultivation and easily impact the great realm, then the loose cultivator is too good to be true.
In the Immortal Cultivation World, clans, families, and chambers of commerce control high-grade spiritual veins and dojos, which is a kind of monopoly on resources.
The main reason why there is no YuanYing stage in Jing Country is because there is no fourth-grade spirit vein.
Liang and Chen each have a fourth level spiritual vein, so there is only one YuanYing level sect.
"How about the nearby Cloud Smoke Immortal City?"
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Jing Country, Lu Chang'an was most familiar with this Immortal City.
Speaking of which, he had been so focused on cultivation all these years that he hadn't contacted the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce's Cold Jade Realist much.
"Feasible."
Xia Hong Yu nodded: "Fellow Daoist Lu just arrived in Jing country back then, and did the identity plate of the Merchant Union cultivator. Now, with my Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce as a guarantor to help with the application, it won't be difficult to pass."
"Fellow Daoist Lu only needs to spend a sum of spirit stones to rent a cave house with a third-order spirit vein, to conjugate his dan at ease."
Impacting the JieDan stage and extracting huge heaven and earth spiritual qi will affect the third-order spiritual vein and the city protection array.
Thus, the consent of the Immortal City's principal must be obtained.
In addition to vetting the identity, one must also pay a considerable amount of spirit stones to the owner of the Spirit Vein Dojo.
Lu Changan had been integrated into the Jing Kingdom for so many years, and with the local Chamber of Commerce as his guarantor, his application was relatively easy to pass.
......
The next few days.
Lu Chang'an consolidated his cultivation while he began to wait passively.
"The last condition for conjugation, I hope it goes well."
Even though Lu Chang'an was in his second life of conjugating dan, his heart was slightly apprehensive.
In his previous life, he encountered some twists and turns when he conjugated the Dan.
Two months later.
A real person came from the Merchant Alliance, accompanied by Patriarch Xia, and conducted a preliminary check on Lu Chang'an's identity.
Lu Chang'an quietly sent a small gift.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, the vetting today is much stricter than in previous years."
After sending off the real person from the Merchant Alliance, Patriarch Xia said with a straight face.
"Because of the migration of many Liang cultivators over some years ago, as well as the infiltration of the devilish 'Infernal Sect', the Merchant Alliance has increased its vetting efforts!"
"In past years, bribing more spirit stones and treasures, even if one's identity is unknown, or even if one is a robber cultivator, one can rent a cave with a third-order spirit vein to conjugate."
"However, Fellow Daoist Lu, please rest assured! Your identity is clean and you don't have any criminal record, so you can definitely pass the vetting."
Patriarch Xia pacified a few words and went out to help Lu Changan with his activities.
Three more months of waiting. Good news finally came from Patriarch Xia.
Lu Chang'an went to the nearest merchant union's premises and after reviewing it, he got an identity verification pass token.
It took nearly half a year for Lu Changan to get the site for his dan formation.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, fortunately you have a clean identity and a good reputation."
"Otherwise, at this particular time, the vetting of the top echelons of the Merchant Alliance is very harsh on cultivators from other countries."
Afterwards, Patriarch Xia told Lu Chang'an the truth.
As far as he knew: there were a few JieDan preparers that the Chamber of Commerce had vouched for, and because they were not native cultivators, their identity vetting was denied or delayed, and further investigation was needed.
"Perhaps, it is good people who have good karma."
Lu Chang'an smiled, there is nothing wrong with the idea of steady business and making good karma with people in this world.
It plays a role at critical moments.
If you fight too much and make too many grudges, someone may come to stop you when you reach the end of your dan.
It's not easy to do it head-on, but there are a lot of ways to get in the way.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, if you trust. If you can trust me, I can be your protector at the time of your dan."
Xia patriarch kindly said.
He said that he was a protector, but he was actually prepared to make amends and save Lu Chang'an's life.
Failure of conjugation, backlash and injury, without an outsider to protect and rescue, it is very dangerous.
Although Lu Chang'an is not simple, but in the Foundation Establishment Stage is considered a senior age, the success rate of conjugation is relatively low.
The success rate of forming a false dan is relatively low.
The age at which Patriarch Xia formed his dan was one to two decades younger than Lu Chang'an at this time.
......
Not long after Lu Chang'an passed the audit of the Merchant Alliance.
A news that shook all parties, spread all over the Jing cultivation world, and even made the neighboring countries surprised.
"The Xuan Yin Demon Sect has taken over the Spirit Vein and officially opened a sect to recruit Immortal Sapling disciples from the outside world?"
Lu Chang'an was incredulous when he was informed of this news.
In the past, the Demon Sect was an unrecognized gray force, hiding in the shadows and developing surreptitiously.
They did not dare to openly occupy the spiritual veins and recruit disciples.
Nowadays, it has established a sect in a dignified manner, and wants to stand alongside the neighboring Immortal Cultivation Sects?
The land where the Devil Cult started its sect is between Liang and Jing countries, located in the spirit vein on the periphery of the Black Mist Mountain Range.
To be exact, it's closer to the Jing Kingdom.
"The three major clans of the Jing Country can tolerate it?"
Lu Chang'an was quickly informed of the latest intelligence and relevant insider information from the Infernal Sect's Fragrance Master.
It was said that the establishment of the Xuan Yin Demon Sect had the tacit approval of the number one cultivator of the Beacon Kingdom, Chu Tian Feng.
The three major clans of the Jing Kingdom, of course, were not happy and protested.
The three major clans of Jing Kingdom protested against the establishment of this sect.
Half a month ago.
The three major clans of the Jing Kingdom sent three late-stage JieDan cultivators to spar and gamble with Liang Shaotian.
Liang ShaoTian used his middle stage JieDan cultivation to defeat two of the clan's JieDan cultivators in a row.
In the end, he tied with the third peak JieDan cultivator.
The three clans of Jing lost the bet, and could only recognize the Xuan Yin Demon Sect's foothold on the side of Jing.
From now on, the Xuan Yin Demon Sect will be able to openly recruit the neighboring Immortal Saplings.
In the future, XYM will be able to openly recruit immortal seedlings from the neighboring areas, and even the cultivators of XYM will be able to travel to and from the major immortal cities and workshops.
Simply put, the Demon Sect will now be legal.
"Liang Shaotian received the inheritance of the Devil Cult and grew at such an astonishing rate that he is not at all inferior to the Earth Spirit Root! His strength, even more so, is able to fight beyond the ranks."
Lu Chang'an was shocked.
His strength in his previous life was at most comparable to the unusual late JieDan stage of the Jing Clan, probably two that Liang ShaoTian defeated.
"Liang Shao Tian is still in the middle stage of JieDan now, if he is promoted to the late stage, wouldn't he be the 'number one person under YuanYing' in the neighboring Immortal Cultivation Kingdom."
"This person's temperament is unpredictable, killing and ruthless. Chu Tianfeng's heart is really big, he's not even afraid of raising a tiger......"
Lu Changan learned from Infernal Sect that the origin of Xuan Yin Demon Cult was the Xuan Yin Sect, which was once one of the seven giants of the Devil's Way.
The Xuan Yin Sect was once one of the seven giants of the Devil's Way, and eventually fell out of favor due to various reasons.
The Xuan Yin Demon Cult is an important branch of the Xuan Yin Sect.
Now, the six sects of the Devil's Path are watching and preparing to invade the neighborhood of Beacon Country. The Xuan Yin Demon Cult and the Six Sects of the Devil's Path have an affinity with each other, and may even be connected by a lotus root relationship.
If it were any other YuanYing True Lords, they would most likely destroy the XuanYin Demon Cult in advance to prevent future troubles.
But Chu Tianfeng did the opposite, and supported the Xuan Yin Demon Sect to establish a sect.
"Although Liang Shaotian is powerful and unpredictable, it is good that he is still in awe of that 'Elder Yan'."
......
Half a year later.
The one hundred and seventy-one year old Lu Chang'an, accompanied by Xia Hongyu, arrived at Cloud Smoke Immortal City.
On the side of Cloud Smoke Immortal City, one needs to pay a considerable amount of spirit stones.
Xia Hong Yu helped Lu Chang'an pay and do it in advance.
At this moment, all one needs to do is to say hello to the Immortal City's principal, and one can rent a dojo with a third-order spirit vein and impact the JieDan stage.
Inside the temple at the center of Cloud Smoke Immortal City.
"Fellow Daoists, it's quite unfortunate! Your scheduled time for conjugation will have to be delayed by at least a month or two."
A crane-robed, flower-bearded False Pill Realist said with an expressionless face.
"Gongyang City Lord, this is clearly the time we agreed upon......"
Xia Hong Yu face piled up a smile, took out a bag of spirit stones, quietly handed over.
The crane-robed real person in front of him is the deputy city lord of Cloud Smoke Immortal City, and his chamber of commerce is one of the shareholders of the Immortal City.
"Eh! Fellow Daoist Xia, it's not that I'm being unkind. The Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce happens to have a peak Foundation Establishment Cultivator who wants to conjugate."
Vice City Lord Gong Yang shook his head and pushed Xia Hong Yu's bag of spirit stones back.
"Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce?"
Xia Hong Yu reveals a helpless color, it seems that Deputy City Lord Gong Yang is not intentionally making things difficult.
The Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce is a famous Chamber of Commerce in the Jing Kingdom.
The Chamber of Commerce has a number of true dan cultivators, including a number of false dan real people, and even quasi third-order spirit beasts.
The Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce is also one of the rulers of Cloud Smoke Immortal City.
"It's only for a month or two, it won't have much of an impact."
Lu Chang'an was in no hurry.
Impacting the JieDan requires a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Immortal City naturally does not allow multiple cultivators to conjugate at the same time, as that would be a greater burden on the Third Order Spiritual Vein.
He watched Lu Changan and his team leave.
Deputy City Lord Gong Yang was in deep thought.
In fact, the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce's Foundation Establishment Peak didn't ask to jump the queue.
However, Deputy City Lord Gong Yang was more optimistic about the other party and was interested in making good relations with the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce, so he let Lu Chang'an give in for a bit.
"That kid looks young, but he's actually over a hundred and seventy years old, there's not even much hope of forming a False Dan."
"Eh? If this person fails to form a false dan and dies in the cave of a third-order spirit vein, that would be bad luck......"
As the manager of the Immortal City's Spirit Vein Cave, Vice Lord Gong Yang naturally had Lu Chang'an's vetting information.
He didn't ask Lu Chang'an to succeed in his dan formation, just don't die in the cave.
......
Lu Chang'an and his team checked in at the inn in Immortal City.
The Ground Rock Mouse handed Lu Chang'an a token.
Lu Chang'an hadn't come to Cloud Smoke Immortal City in the past few years to discuss the Dao with the Cold Jade Realist of the Snow Fox Lord.
The two of them have a hidden contact place in the Immortal City.
Lu Chang'an used a special technique to lift the restraints on the token and obtain the message inside.
"Brother Xiang, why haven't you come to discuss the Dao with my concubine in the past two years?"
Discussing the Dao is the code word for the two of them to leave a message to meet each other.
"Brother Xiang, my concubine's chamber has a favor to ask, please reply as soon as you see it."
"Brother Xiang, if you don't respond again, my concubine may take the initiative to seek you out."
The first few messages of the token are quite normal.
"Who the hell are you? Why are you disguised as Xiang Zhenran and cheating my concubine's feelings?
Lu Chang'an saw the penultimate token message and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but tug.
Numbnuts!
After a few years of not operating, Xiang Zhenran's vest has actually revealed itself.
During the two months of waiting in line at the Immortal City, Lu Changan was prepared to go to see Mr. Cold Jade to discuss the Dao.
Before the completion of the dan, appropriate relaxation is actually conducive to soothing the mind.
If the pressure is too great, or if you are too close, it will not be conducive to promotion and breakthrough.
"Forget it!" Lu Chang'an dismissed the idea.
Anyway, it's just a dewy love affair with mutual interests, no one owes anyone.
He opened the last token.
"No matter who you are, your friendship will last forever. Concubine, waiting for you to come."
Lu Chang'an was a bit speechless.
His identity had been recognized, and on the eve of his dan conjugation, he naturally would not cause trouble by contacting the Cold Jade Realist.
What if this woman holds a grudge?
Snap poof!
Lu Chang'an clenched his palm and destroyed several tokens.
Now that the armor has been exposed,
You and I are done for!
