Chapter 266: A Different Heaven and Earth
Chapter 266 Changing Heaven and Earth
In the northwest of Liang, there is a snow-capped, plum-scented mountain spirit vein.
After years of cultivation, the spirit vein of Snowy Plum Mountain has reached the top grade of the second order.
There are as many as three base-building cultivators in the Snow Plum Mountain clan, not including the guest ministers.
At night, the head of the family's study is decorated with lights.
"The forces of the six sects of the Devil's Path are pressing in, and the sect is pulling out their manpower and enlisting cultivators from all over the world to go to the front lines. Alas, this world has not been stabilized for a few years, it is going to be chaotic again......"
Li Congren finished reviewing a few files, face with worry, sighed.
Jin Yangzong northern relocation war is over, only the past ten years.
Snow Plum Mountain Li's steady business development, its rising momentum, in recent years ago faced a bottleneck.
It has not yet broken through the difficult situation, and will face the chaotic world of the invasion of the Devil's Path.
"My husband does not have to worry about far away, the front line has not yet started the war, may not be able to fight in the short term. Moreover, Liang is located in the rear of the battlefield, and my Xuemei Mountain is in the north of Liang......."
Wife Wu Yue'e, eyes warm, to Li Congren refill a spiritual tea.
Wu Yue'e had an ordinary appearance, with a slightly dark complexion, but with a pair of bright eyes and snow-like shell teeth. Her cultivation level is in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and she looks to be around thirty years old.
Li Congren mused, "The demonic invasion has already affected the rear, Xuemei Mountain has to strengthen its vigilance and defense, and try to minimize the number of cultivators who go out alone. "
The clan has drawn out a large number of manpower, resulting in a shortage of law enforcement cultivators in the rear.
The area near the border is already in chaos.
"What my husband said is very true, the prices of goods have risen greatly recently, and those hidden robber cultivators have become active again."
"Once the situation becomes chaotic, we don't know if we can hold on to the 'Chang'an Mines' that we've worked so hard for so many years to open up. "
Speaking of this, Wu Yue'e's face was saddened.
She is more concerned about her husband's worries in the longer term, and she is more concerned about the immediate predicament.
"Chang'an mine, can code guard. If we really can't hold on, we will sell our share cheaply to the 'Dongmen Family'."
Li Congren's face was unwilling, but he had to make a decision.
This is the first time in the history of the world that we have to make a decision.
Li Congren's strategy is to prioritize the protection of the people, the industry can be painfully cut.
If you are not able to protect the mines in Chang'an, there will be casualties, and even lead to the deaths of foundation-building cultivators.
In addition to the invasion of the Devil's Way, the clan's subsequent forcible recruitment of the cultivators of the great clans, that is to add insult to injury.
"Husband, if that news is true...... perhaps, we don't have to be so scrupulous about the Dongmen Clan."
Wu Yue'e's bright eyes flashed with a hint of expectation.
The Dongmen Family, one of the top ten families in Liang, moved northward with the Golden Sun Sect, replacing the original "Wanjian Zhuo Family" territory.
The seven great families of Liang decades ago are now only four, and the other six families are all from the Beacon Kingdom.
The number of spiritual veins in Liang was not enough, so some clans and families in Beacon Kingdom transplanted their spiritual veins here.
There were also a large number of forces from the Golden Sun Sect's camp who disliked the barrenness of Liang and didn't migrate over.
Luckily, the Beast Royal Zhou Family took care of the Xuemeishan Li Clan, allowing the latter to face the Dongmen Clan with at least a certain degree of maneuverability.
"That news...... is not yet confirmed. On the Liang side, some cultivators are questioning its authenticity."
Li Congren murmured, not too optimistic.
"Even if it is true, distant water cannot quench the thirst of the near, who knows when his old man will return. Normal True Dan cultivators often have to consolidate for a few years and sacrifice their magic treasures before going out on a long journey."
"Alas, Husband is right. With Grandpa Lu's style of behavior, I'm afraid he won't easily travel far without a decade or eight."
Wu Yue'e couldn't help but laugh bitterly, dispelling her unrealistic thoughts.
As for going to the Jing Kingdom to ask for help?
Grandpa Lu doesn't owe them anything.
Back then, when they were smuggled into the Jing Kingdom to seek refuge through the Li Clan of Xuemei Mountain, Lu Chang'an gifted them talismans and puppets, and the pay was quite generous.
It even allowed them to take advantage of the situation.
Why is Grandpa Lu's good character well known?
Because he never owed anything to anyone, and he was more or less helpful and instructive to his deceased juniors.
......
Squeak!
Crisp and urgent spirit rat call came.
Li Congren wrapped his arm around Wu Yue'e and was about to go back to the main room to rest when he couldn't help but look towards the door.
A light golden colored treasure-seeking mouse with silky hair scurried back from outside in a hurry.
The gem-like pupils of the mouse showed fear, which made people feel sorry for it.
"Little Gold, what's wrong with you?"
Wu Yue'e's face was puzzled, the Treasure Hunting Mouse's cultivation was approaching the late second stage, its sense of smell was sensitive and its ability to save its life was strong.
In the surrounding area, there are very few living beings that pose a threat to it.
This is the first time in decades that such a state of panic has occurred.
It's been about a dozen breaths.
The terror on the face of the treasure-seeking mouse became more and more obvious as it hid between Mr. and Mrs. Li Congren.
Even so, it didn't feel safe and its body was trembling.
Suddenly, a melodious and pleasant mouse squeal sounded out of nowhere in the room.
Mr. and Mrs. Li Congren's faces changed.
There was a powerful rat demon that had lurked into the hinterland of Xuemei Mountain unnoticed and unknowingly.
You have to know that Li Congren has already cultivated to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and there is an alarm formation restriction in the clan land. A peak second-order demonic beast would not be able to do this.
Buzz!
The yellowish halo on the floor bulged out, revealing a muscular and robust rat demon.
This rat demon's body hair is orange and yellow, with a handful of purple hairs standing up on his head, his body is streamlined, and at first glance it looks like a leopard.
"Ground Rock Rat?"
"Grandpa Lu's spirit pet?"
Mr. and Mrs. Li Congren were slightly stunned and looked at each other, but they couldn't help but show surprise and doubt.
How could Grandpa Lu's spirit rat appear alone in the Snow Plum Mountain Li Clan?
When the two of them were in a state of shock and doubt.
The treasure-seeking mouse issued a clear response that seemed to have a sad cry, and its beautiful pupils revealed awe and curiosity.
It was wrapped around the waist by the Rock Mouse, and walked towards the door step by step.
"Little Gold!"
Mr. and Mrs. Li Congren were a little worried, what happened to Little Jin back then when he was bullied by the ground rock rats was still fresh in their minds.
Zee!
The corners of the gopher's mouth split open, and its maroon pupils looked at Mr. and Mrs. Li Congren, giving a "don't worry" look.
The reddish brown eyes were fixed for a moment.
Mr. and Mrs. Li Congren's hearts throbbed, and an inexplicable chill spread from the soles of their feet to their entire body.
Zee!
The Treasure Hunting Mouse nodded its head, forced a smile, flattered and complimented the Ground Rock Mouse and left, never looking back at its master.
"This rat demon......"
Li Congren couple, forehead oozing fine sweat, can not help but look at each other.
The indescribable and terrifying pressure at that moment just now seemed to be just an illusion.
"Grandpa Lu's spirit pet, cultivated to the peak of the second stage thirty years ago, now his breath is profound and unpredictable, even more terrifying.
"Could......"
Mr. and Mrs. Li Congren, their hearts can not help but generate speculation.
According to reason, the life span of the ground rock rat in the second stage is similar to that of a human being who has built his foundation.
If the cultivation has not improved, it should be in its old age now, it is impossible to be alive and energetic.
"Could it be that this Earth Rock Rat has already been promoted to False Dan? "
Thinking about that news about Lu Changan, if it is true, the ground rock rat becoming a False Dan level demonic beast is nothing.
"The ground rock rat has arrived at Snow Plum Mountain, Grandpa Lu should be in the nearby area?"
Mr. and Mrs. Li Congren's faces were delighted and their hearts were filled with anticipation.
At night time, the two of them went directly to the western gate of the clan land and waited quietly.
This night is destined to be an ordeal.
The expected figure did not show up until late at night.
The unusual behavior of Mr. and Mrs. Li Congren attracted the attention of some of the clansmen.
"Father, mother, what kind of distinguished guest is coming to Xuemei Mountain that you two need to wait in person late at night?"
A round-faced middle-aged man in the late stage of Qi Refining said in a rather puzzled manner.
The visitor is Li Congren's eldest son, with ordinary qualifications, responsible for managing the clan treasury.
"Besides, where are the guests who visit in the middle of the night......"
"Don't ask too many questions!"
Li Congren tensed his face and reprimanded.
......
To the northeast of the Snow Plum Mountain, there was a large, heavily guarded mountain resort located in a deep mountain array, neighboring a small branch of the Black Mist Mountain Range.
To the south of the mountain village, there is also a medium-sized workshop market.
The Imperial Beast Zhou Family is the absolute dominant force in this area.
The night is getting darker at the ugly hour.
Inside the classical and elegant "boudoir" of the Imperial Beast Zhou Family, the cave residence of the Supreme Elder Zhou Qingxuan, a hazy and crystalline jeweled light was lit up.
The Zhou Family's high and mighty Supreme Elder is now lying on a bed of teeth, her pink face shy, her sideburns disheveled and her hairpin crossed, and her lightly scented goose-yellow dress, stockings and embroidered shoes are scattered on the side of the couch.
Silk quilt, revealing a section of smooth and delicate legs, white through a touch of moist red.
"Qingxuan, you really don't want to lift the soul compulsion restriction in your sea of consciousness?"
After a long time, a gentle man's voice resounded from the Supreme Elder's dental bed.
"If you dissolve the soul compulsion prohibition, will your relationship with me become a thing of the past? If that is the case, Qingxuan would rather be under the control of Big Brother Lu forever. In that case, Big Brother Lu would also be able to truly trust Qingxuan."
Zhou Qingxuan's jade body was spread out without an inch of clothing, lying in Lu Changan's arms, smiling sweetly.
Her face was almost unchanged, her eyes were lively, and her face was delicate and pure. Just slightly more voluptuous than before, curves like a wonderful milky white relief. "You are now the Zhou family's supreme elder, to maintain their own noble majesty, how can you submit to the body of Lu Mou, as a woman without a name."
Lu Changan helplessly laughed.
In the early years, because of the Hundred Lodging Soul Compulsion, he had reached an agreement with Zhou Qingxuan.
At that time, Lu Changan's cultivation was limited and he was wary of the Imperial Beast Zhou Family.
If he killed Zhou Qingxuan, the clues would become clear and he would face a manhunt.
In order to save her life, Zhou Qingxuan made an oath to protect her heart, and the compulsion in her sea of consciousness was under Lu Changan's control.
During that period of time, Lu Changan and Zhou Qingxuan were almost like master and slave.
Zhou Qingxuan treated Lu Chang'an in every possible way and poured in a lot of resources.
As a result, the Earth Rock Rat entered the Zhou Family's Blood Spirit Pool, and its bloodline was slightly enhanced.
In order to give the other party a glimmer of hope, Lu Changan once promised that if he succeeded in forming the Dan in the future, he would try to help Zhou Qingxuan lift the compulsion restriction in her sea of consciousness.
The compulsion restriction was very clever.
Lu Changan had learned about the principles from the purer memory fragments of the soul compulsion, and only after attaining dan would it be possible to dissolve it.
The restriction planted on Xing Peng in the Jing Kingdom was part of the principles of the compulsion restriction.
Now, Lu Chang'an has returned to Liang.
The first stop should have been to the Li Clan in Xuemei Mountain.
But it was the middle of the night, not the right time to visit.
And the real relationship between Lu Chang'an and Zhou Qingxuan, which was not seen in the light of day, was just right for a late night exchange.
Lu Chang'an planned to go to the Xuemei Mountain Li Clan after dawn.
Lu Chang'an was going to try to dissolve the compulsion ban and break his karma with Zhou Qingxuan.
Unexpectedly, after confirming his true dan cultivation, this woman actually backtracked and wanted to maintain the original relationship.
"What does Brother Lu mean by that, could it be that he intends to give Qingxuan a name?"
Zhou Qingxuan's eyes were clear and charming, her cherry lips were pink and moist, and a hint of hope was revealed in her grudging tone.
"Mister Lu is more than interested in cracking the compulsion prohibition."
Lu Chang'an got up to put on his clothes and smiled lightly.
"Brother Lu, even if you don't give Qingxuan a name. When it's daytime, can you be a guest in the Imperial Beast Zhou Family in an honorable manner."
Zhou Qingxuan smiled brightly, her naked and unclothed body hugged Lu Changan from behind and begged.
"Tomorrow, I'm going to go to Xuemei Mountain Li Clan."
Lu Chang'an politely refused.
He didn't want to get too entangled with the Imperial Beast Zhou Clan.
Nowadays, one of the top ten families in Liang is not an ordinary immortal cultivation force.
Moreover, Zhou Qingxuan, this woman is cunning and changeable, if the first stop back to Liang, in the Zhou family as a guest, it is very easy to be this woman to make an article.
"There is no need to say more. Your Zhou family still has a third-ranked demon that has been passed down for many years, so why do you need Mister Lu to come and support you."
Lu Chang'an waved his hand and refused Zhou Qingxuan's repeated soft words.
Zhou Qingxuan was aggravated, her eyes were misty, and she looked like she wanted to cry.
Lu Changan was not moved, he was a hundred years old, he would not be affected by this kind of appearance.
"Brother Lu, since tomorrow does not belong to Qingxuan. Then tonight is a long night, only halfway through, Qingxuan will receive you."
Seeing that Lu Changan was about to leave, Zhou Qingxuan pursed her cherry lips and teeth, gently pulling him along, going to the side bathroom to take a bath.
Zhou Qingxuan was a very good friend of Lu Chang'an's.
Lu Changan and Zhou Qingxuan finished bathing and dressing.
The former was dressed in a white tunic and the latter in a long goose-yellow skirt, neatly organized and spotless.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, Mister Lu will ask for the last time. Do you really not intend to dissolve the compulsion restriction in your sea of consciousness?"
"No need, before Brother Lu went to the Jing Kingdom, he had already told us the way to stabilize the restriction. Anyway, there is no fear for her life, Qingxuan has long gotten used to it."
Zhou Qingxuan's voice was sweet as her pearly edges blossomed.
"Good."
As soon as the words fell, Lu Chang'an's figure had already disappeared from the room.
Zhou Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, then her face became irritated, her breasts undulating.
Tonight, Lu Chang'an was served with all kinds of services, such as lovebirds playing in the water, warm and soft words, and so on. As a result, this person's heart is hard-hearted, but there is no commitment.
"It's just that, after this, at least I don't have to worry about my life."
Zhou Qingxuan sighed in her heart.
She knew Lu Changan better and knew that the other party was no ordinary True Dan cultivator.
He had once failed the Hundred Soul Compass boarding, and had the reputation of being a senior pandan cultivator, so he was bound to have a great deal to do with it.
Zhou Qingxuan was worried that after lifting the compulsion ban, only a layer of the Heart Demon Oath remained, and Lu Changan was not confident in her.
Zhou Qingxuan was worried that after lifting the compulsion restriction, only one layer of the Heart Demon Vow would remain.
......
Under the cover of night.
Lu Chang'an flew into the Nine Gangs Sky and quickly left the territory of the Imperial Beast Zhou Clan.
"The compulsion prohibition, continuing to stay in this woman's consciousness sea, is not a bad result."
Lu Changan mused.
For one thing, leaving the compulsion restriction behind might be able to draw in the Soul Compass at some point in the future.
Lu Changan's Nine Seal Tablet is in great demand for this kind of nourishment, and the Heavenly Killer Hundred Soul Compulsions have no fear of taking over the body.
In that case, Zhou Qingxuan was a good bait.
Secondly, when Lu Changan had free time to communicate, he could study the compulsion restrictions in Zhou Qingxuan's sea of consciousness and perfect his own unique restrictions.
Thirdly, by keeping the compulsion restriction, Lu Changan was more at ease with Zhou Qingxuan.
In fact, even if Lu Chang'an had the ability to dissolve the compulsion restriction, he would still have a backhand and wouldn't solve it all at once.
At the very least, he would need to remodel the dan.
One hour later.
The silhouette of Snow Plum Mountain, wrapped in silver, was reflected in Lu Chang'an's vision.
In front of the gate of the Li Clan's land.
Mr. and Mrs. Li Congren looked tired and stood for the whole night.
At that moment, they sensed an abnormal aura fluctuation and couldn't help but look up.
They looked up at the early morning sunrise.
A big dark green turtle, riding on the waves and breaking through the air.
On the back of the large turtle, there was a man in white clothes who was as gentle as jade.
"Grandpa Lu!"
Li Congren and Wu Yue'e were shocked and greeted him with great joy.
"Greetings, Grandpa Lu!"
"Congratulations, Grandpa Lu, for achieving True Dan power and returning to the land of Liang."
The husband and wife, with a group of direct descendants, came forward to greet them.
Mr. and Mrs. Li Congren bowed and bowed long, and the group of descendants behind them even bowed.
Li Congren is Lu Chang'an's grandson.
His descendants, it is not too much to call Lu Chang'an as the old ancestor.
"You and others are excused! "
Lu Chang'an whisked his sleeve and raised his hand, not deliberately concealing his True Dan Mana.
He sat on the big turtle and corrected him in a pleasant manner:
"A mere True Dan is not worthy of the word "mighty". The path of immortal cultivation is about being down-to-earth, so don't get caught up in this kind of braggadocio."
"I respectfully follow the teachings of Grandpa Lu (the real person)!"
The Li Clan's cultivators on Xuemei Mountain, sensing the abyssal mana aura of the JieDan real person, all answered in unison.
Li Congren's old face was red, he was the one who took the lead in calling out the name of this great power.
It is not that he is intentionally flattering and boasting.
In the eyes of the middle and lower cultivators, the true dan is a real dan real person, step into the ranks of high-level cultivators, raise their hands and feet to destroy the mountains and destroy the city.
......
Accompanied by Li Congren and other core Li Clan members, Lu Chang'an took his seat at the top of the main hall.
Lu Chang'an briefly surveyed Li Congren.
After thirty years, Li Congren has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment and is now in his middle age.
His facial contour has a slight shadow of Li Ergu's youthful period, but his appearance is a bit more clear.
After talking to him, Lu Chang'an understood the situation of the Li Clan in Xuemei Mountain.
The Xuemei Mountain Li Clan has three Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
In addition to Mr. and Mrs. Li Congren, there is also a nephew of Li Congren's who was promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage more than ten years ago.
In addition, there is also a late stage Foundation Establishment envoy, and Li Congren is a life and death friend. That monk is also the elder brother of Li Congren's wife, Wu Yue'e.
"Why don't we see those two Foundation Establishment cultivators?"
Lu Chang'an asked casually.
"Back to Grandpa Lu, the two of them are guarding the 'Chang'an Mines'."
Li Congren replied. "Chang'an Mines?" Lu Chang'an couldn't help but glance at the duo.
Li Congren opened his mouth in embarrassment, "The Chang'an Mining Ground, is a place where we excavated and opened up a vein of ore ten years ago. There are many first and second order raw ores stored within it, only the distribution is uneven, and the mining is difficult......"
Wu Yue'e's demeanor was respectful, adding from the side:
"The initial stage of mining at the Chang'an mine attracted the prying eyes of some of the neighboring forces. In order for the mine to be mined peacefully, we named it 'Chang'an' to symbolize long-lasting peace."
"In addition, we sold 30% of our share at a low price to the 'Imperial Beast Zhou Family' to obtain the Zhou Family's protection against the covetousness of the 'Dongmen Family'."
"Dongmen Family, but a family from the Beacon Kingdom?"
Although Lu Chang'an hadn't returned for a long time, he had a general understanding of the situation in Liang.
Compared to thirty years ago when he left, the Liang Kingdom today is a sea of change, changing the sky and the earth.
The Lei Huo Palace, which ruled over Liang, has been destroyed, and the Golden Sun Sect has taken control of this cultivation area.
The Immortal Cultivation forces in Liang have undergone a great change of blood.
The original four clans outside the YuanYing power have become six clans.
The seven great families have become the ten great families.
Many of the Immortal Cities, Markets, and large and small families that are spread all over Liang have changed their owners.
At the same time, the Liang Immortal Cultivation World has also moved or strengthened a lot of spiritual veins, and the overall strength has risen by a large margin.
Lu Chang'an returned to his homeland, familiar and unfamiliar.
The geography remained basically unchanged, but he heard too many unfamiliar forces and characters.
"That's right, the Dongmen Clan migrated from the Beacon Country, and the clan has three False Pill Mortals and a dozen Foundation Establishment Cultivators. And there are clansmen who are core disciples of the Golden Sun Sect or hold positions......"
Li Congren's tone was cautious, introducing the situation of the Dongmen family.
Lu Chang'an was instantly enlightened after hearing this.
The invasion of the Devil's Way, a wider war is coming.
The price of war supplies has risen dramatically.
The Chang'an Mining Field held by the Li Clan in Xuemei Mountain has doubled its benefits several times, so it is naturally a hot potato.
Even with the Royal Beast Zhou Family looking after it, the Dongmen Family will not easily give up this piece of fat meat.
......
At noon, the Li Clan of Xuemei Mountain hosted a banquet for Lu Changan.
The Li Clan did their best to get the most precious ingredients to satisfy the first True Dan guest of the Xuemeishan Li Clan since its establishment.
Lu Chang'an is planning to stay at Xuemei Mountain for a day and go to Golden Cloud Valley tomorrow.
Although he didn't do anything, this kind of performance was an invisible deterrent to the hostile forces of the Xuemei Mountain Li Clan.
Li Congren, the head of the family, accompanied him throughout the entire journey, allowing Lu Chang'an to learn a lot of information related to his late friend.
For example, Li Erqing, who is still in good health, fulfills his lifelong promise of loyalty to the Mu Clan, guarding Lake Fei Yue.
According to Li Congren, his grandfather Li Erqing had only visited Xuemei Mountain twice over the decades.
In the afternoon.
Lu Chang'an was viewing the snowy mountains of the Li Clan's land and finally saw the Ground Rock Rat.
The Ground Rock Rat and the Treasure Seeker Rat, snuggled up by the snowy woods, basking in the sun.
The ground rock rat was soothed and refreshed, and its fur was brilliant.
The beautiful Treasure Hunter Mouse is depressed, with a weak qi and blood, and the bags under its eyes are greenish.
The treasure-seeking mouse seems to have emaciated and lost a lot of weight after just one night.
It has only rested for a quarter of an hour.
The Ground Rock Mouse again embraced the Treasure Hunter Mouse and brought the latter into the woods.
"Squeak......"
The treasure-seeking mouse's breathless voice was quickly cut off.
As the owner of the Treasure Hunter Mouse, Li Congren's eyelids fluttered and he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
He had many heirs, but there was only one Treasure Hunter Mouse.
In the past many years, the Treasure Hunting Mouse had provided a lot of assistance, making the family development and personal cultivation smoother.
Lu Chang'an was ready to speak up and ask the Ground Rock Mouse to restrain itself.
Suddenly, in the southeast direction of Snow Plum Mountain, a True Dan level aura shuttled in.
