Chapter 262: End of Dan Celebration
Chapter 262 - JieDan Celebration
"Thanks to the gift of the JieDan Spirit Item...... given by Real Person Xie."
In mid-air, Lu Chang'an bowed, humble and courteous, showing his sincerity.
When Xie Wuji heard this, his breath was stifled in his chest and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Lu Changan formed the True Elixir, and it was actually him who helped him?
Xie Wuji's face turned vaguely green, and in a flash of lightning, he deduced the cause of the matter.
"Lu Chang'an should have a chance to form pills, such as the Crystal Condensation Pill. Although this person is old, he has practiced the Nourishing Life Technique to prolong his life and maintain his physical state well. Coupled with a solid foundation, he would have had the certainty of forming a False Dan, but was a bit short of the True Dan......"
"And I paid in advance for the conjugation spirit item to help him make a step forward with a hundred-foot pole!"
"Letting his villainy get the better of him! Abominable!"
Thinking of this, Xie Wuji's blood rushed up in anger, almost suffocating his internal injuries.
However, in full view of the public, Lu Chang'an was humble and courteous, so he couldn't snap yet.
More importantly, Lu Changan had become a True Dan Cultivator and was his equal in terms of cultivation realm.
Xie Wuji lowered his recluse speed and came in front of Lu Chang'an, pretending to be light-hearted as he said:
"Not bad, Lu Changan!"
"You have truly lived up to the Xie family's financial support for you."
Now that it's come to this, Xie Wuji couldn't deny it and had to go along with it.
He had indeed given Lu Changan the Pill-forming Spirit Item.
According to the spirit contract: the Xie family would provide Lu Chang'an with a grant for the conjugation materials, and the latter would help convince Xia Wen Yue to complete it within seven years.
Hearing Xie Wuji's remarks, the Xia Patriarch's face changed slightly.
Even if Lu Chang'an's foundation and qualifications were good enough, it would be very difficult for him to form a true dan without an external chance.
Lu Chang'an secretly said, Xie Wuji reacted quickly, separating himself from the Xia Clan.
"Realizer Xie came here in a hurry, what is the reason for this?"
Lu Changan said with a smile.
What is the matter? You have no points in your heart!
Xie Wuji said with an expressionless face, "When I learned that Fellow Daoist Lu had conjugated the dan, I was a little worried and purposely overprotected the dan. After all, you are so old, it is quite risky to conjugate the dan."
"Let Mister Xie be concerned."
Lu Changan said with a straight face, "In fact, there is no need to do so, having that kind of conjugation is enough......."
Xie Wuji's expression stagnated and he couldn't help but fall silent.
"Lu Changan! Don't mention that kind of conjugation spirit object again!"
Xie Wuji turned into a voice transmission, revealing strong dissatisfaction.
"Later on, we will meet outside Cloud Smoke Immortal City. You must give Xie a statement about the Third Order Spirit Pact!"
After transmitting his voice.
Xie Wuji exchanged pleasantries and parted ways with Lu Chang'an.
......
Lu Chang'an and the others, flew out of the Fenglin Mountain Cave Area.
He said goodbye to Realist Cold Jade.
Lu Chang'an and Patriarch Xia flew to the outer city. "Lu Changan, between you and the Xie family......"
Patriarch Xia was torn for a long time and opened his mouth.
"Mister Lu's signing a third-order spirit contract with the Xie Clan was only a stopgap measure. Now that you have achieved True Dan, you don't have to be so jealous."
Lu Chang'an said frankly.
Xia Hong Yu nodded, about the third order spirit contract, Lu Chang An mentioned it to him before he achieved true dan.
This seems to be the reason why Lu Chang'an was in a hurry to conjugate the Dan when he first entered the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.
"If you took the conjugation spirit, if you don't help Xie's work, then isn't it cheating......"
Patriarch Xia thought of something and couldn't help but secretly pinch a cold sweat for Lu Chang'an.
"
The Xie Clan of the Chen Country, that is a super family with a YuanYing ancestor, developed the TianLuo Sect into a family style clan, dominating the entire Chen Country Immortal Cultivation World.
Lu Changan didn't care much, "That was gifted by Realist Xie of his own accord, how can you call it a cheat?"
Patriarch Xia couldn't help but open his mouth, sizing up Lu Changan with a brand new gaze.
"What's more, if I didn't agree at that time, Realist Xie was going to threaten Mister Lu's life."
Lu Chang'an immediately added.
"That's true."
Patriarch Xia thought for a moment and said in shame, "Real Lu has a noble character, it was Xia who thought wrongly......"
Flying out of Cloud Smoke Immortal City.
Lu Changan said, "Patriarch later, Mister Lu went over to consult with Realist Xie."
Patriarch Xia didn't stop him and instructed, "Fellow Daoist Lu be careful."
......
A few dozen miles away from Cloud Smoke Immortal City on a mountainside.
The figures of Xie Wuji and Lu Changan appeared one after another.
"Lu Chang'an, today you must speak clearly. The previous agreement was to convince Xia Wen Yue within seven years, how have you ever been to Ao Yue Palace?"
Xie Wuji's expression was gloomy as he questioned.
"Seven years, isn't it not yet?"
The spirit contract signed between Lu Chang'an and Xie Wuji was that the mission had to be completed within seven years, or else the spirit contract would be violated and suffer a backlash.
Even if there was still one day left, Lu Changan was not considered to have violated the contract.
At that time, Xie Wuji did not want to make the spiritual contract more harsh, but Lu Chang'an was adamant that he would rather die if the time was shorter.
After all, Lu Chang'an was Xia Wen Yue's respected teacher, so he could not be pushed too far.
"The previous six years, you have been sneaking around. With one year left, are you sure you can convince Wen Yue?"
Xie Wuji sneered.
"No." Lu Chang'an said truthfully.
"You, purposely playing tricks?"
Xie Wuji's anger rose, the spirit pressure of a True Dan cultivator looming.
However, he quickly realized that Lu Changan was now a True Dan cultivator as well, so even if he was a few points stronger, it would be difficult for him to blackmail the other party.
"It's not that Mister Lu doesn't contribute. Rather, some years ago, being blackmailed by others, Lu Mou's heart was not steady, thus he made every effort to prepare for the completion of the Dan."
"Now that you have been promoted to True Dan, do you still intend to abide by that Third Order Spirit Contract?"
Xie Wuji said in a deep voice.
"In the last year, Mister Lu has the heart but not the strength. I hope that Realizer Xie will allow a little more time."
Lu Chang'an said in a pleasant manner.
"How much longer do you need."
"At least ten years." Lu Chang'an said lightly.
"Lu Chang'an! Are you trying to trick Mister Xie?"
Xie Wuji's face was chilled with fury, his icy voice transmitting killing intent.
He really wanted to kill Lu Changan.
But reality did not allow it.
Lu Chang'an became a True Dan cultivator and it was hard to blackmail him. Killing a True Dan was not trivial!
If you kill Lu Changan.
Xia Wenyue is afraid that he will break his ties with the Chen Kingdom Xie Clan.
Xia Wanyue's secret of her innate Taoist body will naturally not be hidden when she goes to a YuanYing level clan.
Xia Wanyue is not only a Jindan seed herself, but her Dao body also contains a chance to become a baby, and being recruited by a big power is equivalent to buying one and giving one away.
How could the Xie Clan of the Chen Kingdom be willing to miss out on such an opportunity and become a laughing stock?
Xie Wuji's move from Lu Chang'an's side is just one of the breakthroughs.
The attitude of Ao Yue Palace is also very important, Xie Clan has been negotiating with it.
"I forgot to tell Fellow Daoist Xie."
Lu Changan let out a kind smile, "Mister Lu had once left a backhand, if I were to die strangely or go missing. There would be 'last words' that would be transmitted to the Ao Yue Palace, letting Wen Yue know that it was the Chen Kingdom Xie who did it." Xie Wuji's face turned green, there was really nothing he could do to the True Dan cultivation and cunning Lu Chang'an.
"Lu Changan, don't give an inch, at most, I will give you another five years!"
After bargaining, the two reached an agreement.
The previous spirit contract was voided and Xie Wuji took out another third rank spirit contract to give Lu Chang'an a five year delay.
"Master Lu, as long as you get the job done. My Xie family can subsidize your cultivation resources after your Jiedan, such as the mid-Jiedan stage-breaking pills."
Xie Wuji promised.
If you want Lu Changan to do something, blackmail is not enough, you have to promise benefits.
He naturally saw Lu Chang'an's procrastination and perfunctory behavior.
The third-order spirit contract is not as big a constraint for Lu Changan as he thought.
An ordinary True Dan cultivator really can't crack it.
But as long as Lu Changan is willing to sell his body, the surrounding YuanYing powers will surely have those who are willing to help him crack the third-order spirit contract without fear of offending the Xie Clan of the Chen Kingdom.
A True Dan cultivator who is a third-order talisman master is also attractive to big clans.
Xie Wuji didn't know that Lu Chang'an had so many secrets that he didn't dare to sell himself easily and join a YuanYing level force.
As for the ordinary clan forces, whether or not they have the ability to crack it is secondary, most of them don't dare to easily offend the Chen Guo Xie Clan.
"A mid JieDan stage-breaking elixir? Real Xie must be true to his word!"
Lu Chang'an's eyes lit up.
Xie Wuji laughed in his heart, Lu Chang'an's qualifications and age, breaking through the True Dan was already a stroke of luck.
However, when it comes to the True Dan Stage, the breakthrough of each small realm is incredibly difficult.
The quality of the dan formation affects the breakthroughs of the subsequent realms.
If it is an Upstream True Dan or Immortal Golden Dan, it is relatively easy to break through the minor realms.
Downstream true elixirs, especially downstream true elixirs like Lu Chang'an that can barely achieve, it is extremely difficult to advance to the middle stage of the JieDan.
Without a good chance, one could be stuck in the early stage of JieDan for life.
Thus, Xie Wuji was certain that it would be difficult for Lu Chang'an to resist the strategic resources of the JieDan stage.
Even if Lu Changan didn't care now, he would regret it when he was stuck at the early stage of True Dan for hundreds of years.
"Real Lu, take care of yourself!"
Before parting, Xie Wuji explained.
"In fact, my clan doesn't necessarily have to recapture Wen Yue to cultivate herself, as long as she is willing to return to her clan to recognize her family it is also possible."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chang'an immediately realized.
The Ao Yue Palace was very strong, and the Chen Guo Xie Clan knew that it was unrealistic to want to completely snatch Xia Wen Yue back.
It would be better to settle for the second best and get half of Xia Wen Yue's "ownership".
......
A few moments later, Lu Chang'an returned and met up with Xia Hong Yu outside of the Immortal City.
"Master Lu, did Xie Wuji give you a hard time?"
Seeing Lu Chang'an return safely, Patriarch Xia breathed a little sigh of relief.
"Now that I have cultivated into a True Dan, Xie Wuji was forced to make concessions."
Lu Chang'an said.
To the Xie Clan of the Chen Kingdom, Lu Chang'an was scornful, but not particularly fearful.
The only thing he was afraid of was the Xie Clan's YuanYing Ancestor, so he didn't tear his face off.
Although in normal circumstances, the likelihood of a YuanYing Old Monster not speaking martial virtues and easily turning on him was very low.
One must know that there is only one YuanYing Old Monster in the entire country of Chen, and it will not be moved easily unless it is an important event.
This kind of trivial task, if you still need the old ancestor to personally worry about it, it would be better to kill all the real people below.
Lu Chang'an only needs to do a good job on the surface and continue to maintain the third-order spirit contract, then he can avoid this very small possibility.
As for five years later.
Lu Chang'an had already finished transforming the Dan.
At that time, the six sects of the Devil's Way will launch an invasion of the neighboring countries, so it is even more unlikely that the Xie Clan's YuanYing old man will "go AWOL".
As for the other cultivators of the Xie Clan.
Lu Chang'an can't beat them, but he still knows how to defend himself and run away.
Moreover, the cultivators of the Xie Clan of the Chen Kingdom were the same ones that roamed across the local area, covering the sky with one hand.
When he goes to Liang or Feng, he'll have to be more or less restrained. Lu Chang'an won't stay in Jing for long after his dan.
As long as he returns to Liang or goes to Fen Kingdom, Xie's threat to him will be further reduced
"When are you going to organize the Dan Ceremony after your Dan formation? At that time, I, the Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce, will help organize it."
On the way back, Patriarch Xia proposed.
"A pandan ceremony?"
Lu Chang'an's first thought was to veto it.
But on second thought.
Achieving the True Dan, what a great event! If you don't celebrate it, then it's too low profile.
It's not the case, but it's suspicious.
"Then set it for two months later, a small celebration, don't be too ostentatious."
Lu Chang'an mused.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, this matter will be left to Mister Xia."
Xia Hong Yu's face showed joy.
Lu Chang'an's willingness to hold the Dan-forming celebration in Qing Sha Bay is a recognition of Xia.
With the help of this ceremony, the prestige of the Xia Clan and even the Wufu Chamber of Commerce will rise to a higher level.
......
Lu Chang'an had consolidated his position in the Immortal City for seven days, and the Xia Clan in Qingsha Bay could not believe it when they learned of the news in advance.
"Greetings, Mr. Lu!"
The clansmen of the Xia Clan were truly convinced when they saw Lu Chang'an, who was emitting True Dan Spiritual Pressure.
Xia Mingqu, Xia Shenglan and other Foundation Establishment cultivators personally greeted them outside the clan land.
"Congratulations to Mr. Lu, for stepping into the Great Dao of JieDan."
Young Master Xia took a deep breath and bowed.
His feelings at this moment were complicated, surprise, envy, and disbelief.
Back then, how fortunate was Lu Chang'an, who was picked to take refuge and hide his identity on the transnational spirit ship.
"Lu Chang'an...... JieDan真人......"
Xia Shenglan drifted off into a dream, looking at the back of the man in white who appeared to be magnificent.
Just now, he met and greeted Lu Chang'an, and his brain went blank.
Once upon a time, Lu Chang'an saved the beauty of the hero, and was set up by the family to combine with her.
She also took the initiative to approach Lu Chang'an, and the other party was gentle and elegant, and got along well.
The past is like a cloud of smoke.
When we meet again today, Lu Changan has already become a True Dan high-level cultivator, and he is a big shot in the huge Jing Country.
Lu Changan simply showed his face, and returned to Qiufeng Island to close the door, not to see guests for the time being.
It is not that Lu Changan is unkind.
But there are too many cultivators who want to make friends with him. It doesn't matter if they were familiar with him before or not, but they also include the cultivators outside.
A true dan high-ranking cultivator is separated from the majority of cultivators in the world.
This kind of gap is like the difference between a small local official and a big official of the imperial court.
......
Inside the secret room of Autumn Wind Island.
Lu Changan was not fit to cultivate anymore, so he used his Evergreen magic power to nourish the treasure talisman in his hand.
"The mana of a True Dan cultivation is really different."
Lu Chang'an used his True Dan Mana to contain those treasure talismans, and he finally felt the subtle effects.
This meant that there was still room for improvement for the third-order treasure talismans in Lu Changan's hands.
Especially those third-ranked upper-grade bamboo talismans that were refined from third-ranked upper-grade spiritual bamboo.
There are two of them, which are of top grade.
"If one achieves an upstream true dan, or even a golden dan, the cultivation effect will be even better. If it is cultivated for more than a hundred years, a fourth-order treasure talisman is not impossible......."
Lu Chang'an was secretly looking forward to it.
In this life, he stood on the shoulders of his previous life and had been studying the inherited treasure talisman inheritance.
Compared to his previous life, his attainments in the Rune Dao, especially the Treasure Rune Dao, had significantly improved.
......
There are still two months to go before the Dan Celebration.
In addition to harboring treasure talismans, Lu Changan also fed the Xuan Shui Turtle with True Dan level Evergreen Mana.
As a result, the Xuan Shui Turtle began to get close to him again, and its cultivation speed increased dramatically.
Lu Changan knew that this was the great difference between an early True Dan stage and an early second stage demonic beast.
The Xuan Shui Turtle's basic cultivation speed was very slow, and it often took more than five hundred years to reach the third rank normally.
If it wasn't for Lu Changan's Evergreen Kung Fu, he wouldn't even be able to advance to the second rank now.
With the True Dan level Evergreen Mana feeding it, this turtle is not far from the middle of the second stage, and is able to cultivate to the late second stage much faster than before.
During his seclusion, Lu Changan didn't just ignore everyone. When the Xia Patriarch and the Young Master pay a private visit to ask for advice, Lu Chang'an will also receive them.
In addition, there was also the Infernal Sect's Fragrance Master Xing Peng.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lu for cultivating the True Dan!"
And now, Xing Peng was more and more in awe of Lu Chang'an, putting away the small thoughts in his heart.
Lu Chang'an promoted to True Dan, his cultivation truly overpowered him.
Not to mention, Lu Changan also had a third-ranked great demon spirit pet, as well as the mysterious peak JieDan cultivator behind him.
Xing Peng reported a piece of news:
Lu Chang'an's new rank of True Dan has even attracted the attention of his cousin, the "Jade Shadow Master".
The Jade Shadow Altar Master is a mid-stage JieDan cultivator, so Lu Chang'an doesn't need to be afraid of him.
He asked Xing Peng to keep an eye on the movements of the Xie Clan in the Chen Kingdom.
......
Time passed, and the news of Lu Changan's JieDan celebration was known to the neighboring Immortal cultivation forces.
At the same time, his inspirational reputation for attaining dan at an advanced age was gradually spreading in the Liang Immortal Cultivation World.
This inspirational rumor was mixed with some dissenting voices.
There was a rumor that Lu Chang'an's ability to attain dan at an advanced age was not only due to his personal expertise in health maintenance, but also due to the support of the super family Xie Clan behind him.
Lu Chang'an was satisfied with the response.
It was an inspirational rumor without seeming too out of place.
A hundred and seventy years old to form a dan is indeed rare, but not unheard of.
The Immortal Cultivation World is so big, and Lu Chang'an is not the only one who cultivates the Life Nurturing Technique.
This is a group, a school.
Certain ancient techniques can prolong life, and it's not uncommon for people to have an extra 10% of their life expectancy at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
If you take the first and second grade life extension pills, you will have no problem to approach 300 years of life.
If you take the third-order life-extending pills, you will be able to extend your life even more.
Therefore, in the Jing Immortal Cultivation World alone, Lu Chang'an is not the only one who has formed the True Elixir at this age within a thousand years.
If we look at the neighboring Immortal Cultivation Countries, we can still pick out a few.
Although there are only a few cases, the Immortal Cultivation world is too big, so we can always find some.
A few dozen days have passed.
The day of Lu Chang'an's Dan Culmination Celebration was getting closer and closer.
Representatives of certain forces even came to visit Clear Sand Bay in advance.
For example, the other four clans of the Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce.
The False Dan Ancestor of the Xin Clan personally came to Clear Sandy Bay to meet Lu Chang'an in advance, only to be rejected.
Lu Chang'an's achievement of true dan and organizing a dan ceremony in Qingsha Bay had really shocked the Xin Clan.
The Xin Clan is the only clan in the world that is not a member of the Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce.
The Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce's Cold Jade Realist also came over early to pay his respects.
Lu Chang'an didn't get cold feet and was the first to receive Realist Cold Jade.
Inside the side hall.
Cold Jade Reality was dressed in a snow-white palace dress, dressed up in full regalia, icy beauty like a fairy.
With a light smile, she said, "The Chamber's Supreme Elder, 'Guangjun Zhenran', is unwell and was not able to come in person, so I hope that Zhenran Lu will forgive me."
Lu Chang'an operated his dan power, a pot of boiling tea, steeped in mid-air and poured it for the two of them.
With a light smile, he asked, "Fairy Cold Jade came alone? That Xiang Jinglong didn't give you a hard time?"
"No."
Fairy Cold Jade revealed a puzzled expression
"This matter is strange to say the least. That Xiang Jinglong originally stayed in Cloud Smoke Immortal City for ten days or so, and then suddenly left one day, never looking for trouble from my concubine again."
"Oh? This is a good thing."
Lu Changan laughed.
The overall combing of this matter shows that there is actually no direct grudge between the Cold Jade Realist and Xiang Jinglong.
The one who started it all was the mysterious man who colluded with the Cold Jade Master.
"Xiang Jinglong's unusual behavior, is it due to Realist Lu?"
The Cold Jade Realist's pair of icy eyes gazed at Lu Chang'an with a slight expectation in her heart.
Lu Chang'an is related to the Xie Clan of the Chen Kingdom, possessing this possibility.
"This matter has nothing to do with me." Lu Changan shook his head decisively.
Although he had a dewy love affair with the Cold Jade Realist, he hadn't reached the level of being a nanny after breaking off the relationship.
"That's strange."
The Cold Jade Realist was slightly disappointed.
Less than half an hour.
Lu Chang'an sent the Cold Jade Realist out of the residence.
In the meantime, he sensed that the Cold Jade Real Estate if not good feelings and eyes of love, trying to get closer to him. However, their destiny is over.
After his armor was exposed, Lu Chang'an did not want to get involved with Han Yu Zhen and his Chamber of Commerce as himself.
The current Cold Jade Realist has a genuine respect and good feeling towards him.
Instead, Lu Chang'an lost interest.
He was more nostalgic for the days when he was discussing the Dao with Realist Cold Jade as a Demoiselle Elder.
......
The day of the JieDan celebration had finally arrived.
Representatives of various forces, or individual cultivators, came to Clear Sand Bay to congratulate them.
This time, the invitation is limited to the Jing Country.
Most of the invitees were guests of the Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce.
Lu Chang'an had very few cultivators who had friendships in the Jing Country, and was mainly limited to the Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce, with a footprint around the Cloud Smoke Immortal City.
He had thought that he would not have much to do, and would just muddle through the ceremony.
But he didn't expect to see an unexpected number of guests at the ceremony.
