Chapter 273: Guest Elder

Chapter 273 - Guest Elder

"Very praiseworthy, Fellow Daoist Zhang's conception is exquisite as it is tailored to the individual."

After understanding the design principle of the magic treasure, Lu Chang'an couldn't help but clap his hands in praise.

"Your praise is not justified."

Zhang Tieshan's slightly tanned face did not move.

In reality, this magic treasure was not conceived and designed by him alone.

Its prototype was borrowed from a certain Heavenly Spiritual Treasure from the ancient legends.

The Nail Head Arrow is a small piece of magic treasure with fewer consumables, and half of the fourth-order Soul Nurturing Wood is still left.

The remaining materials are used to make functional accessories. Functional accessories are not magic treasures, but rather, they are a class of strange objects.

It mainly relies on the characteristics of the spirit itself, and can be worn by low cultivators.

The functional configuration will retain the effect of the Soul Nourishing Wood in nourishing the soul, which can speed up the lighting of the past lives in the Nine Seals Tablet.

Both the Nailhead Arrow and the small accessory are more material-efficient, thus taking care of both of Lu Chang'an's requirements at the same time.

After determining the program, the next step was to replenish the materials.

The Soul Nurturing Wood is only the main material, there are other refining materials, which must be at least third-ranked to start with.

Lu Changan and Zhang Tieshan had collected some other supplementary materials.

"This is Meteorite Blade Stone, top grade of the third rank, it can be used as the nailing head material of the Nail Head Arrow to increase the penetration ability."

Zhang Tieshan took out a fist-sized piece of gray-blue metal ore.

Meteorite, Lu Changan knew that it was exceptionally scarce in the Immortal Cultivation World, increasing the sharpness of magic treasures, and providing stronger penetration to all kinds of magic shields and defensive auras.

"If Fellow Daoist Lu has excess Five Elements Earth, add it in small quantities, as a neutralization, it can improve the success rate and quality of the magic treasure."

Zhang Tieshan proposed again.

Lu Changan nodded his head, as a universal earth source, the Five Elements Earth could be called the rare earth amongst the refining materials.

"In my hands, Lu still has a small amount of 'Spectral Shadow Stone', can I add it in."

Lu Changan took out a small piece of dark and grayish ore.

Back then, Lu Chang'an had obtained a basin-sized piece of Phantom Shadow Stone at an ancient relic, and most of it was used to refine materials that isolated divine sense.

He purposely left some behind to be used to build magic treasures in the future.

"A third-ranked top-grade Phantom Shadow Stone!"

Zhang Tieshan moved slightly and glanced at Lu Chang'an with an odd heart.

The Phantom Shadow Stone, can mask aura fluctuations and shield divine sense from scanning.

This item can greatly increase the concealment ability of a magic treasure, and it also has an increase in speed.

With the addition of the Shadow Stone, the Nail Head Arrow will become even more sinister and bizarre.

"...... feasible."

Zhang Tieshan wanted to stop speaking and hesitated for a moment.

He didn't know whether helping Lu Changan refine this treasure would be a blessing or a curse.

Refining such a sinister treasure would be too harmful if it fell into the hands of an evil path!

If it wasn't for the hundreds of years of friendship, Lu Changan's character and reputation were really good, Zhang Tieshan would almost be swayed.

......

Zhang Tieshan refines the weapon, the prediction is that it will take two to three months.

Lu Changan is waiting in the Golden Cloud Valley.

In the meantime, he started cooperation with Golden Cloud Valley in drawing talismans.

Refining some second-order high-grade, as well as third-order lower-grade talismans.

Third rank talisman materials are hard to find, and the success rate of talisman masters has dropped significantly.

In his previous life, Lu Chang'an was a third-order upper-grade talisman master, and at that time, when he refined third-order upper-grade talismans, the success rate was also very average.

However, refining third-order middle and lower grades still maintained a certain advantage at this time.

However, this advantage was far inferior to refining second rank talismans back then.

As a result, Lu Changan could only make a small profit of 20% to 30% of the materials used to refine third-order talismans for Golden Cloud Valley.

"After cultivating to the JieDan stage, the advantage of the previous life will be consumed little by little."

Lu Changan had expected this.

By the time he reaches the middle stage of JieDan, the advantages brought by his previous life will basically cease to exist.

This situation made Lu Chang'an more and more excited about transforming the Yuan Ying Elder into his previous life.

He had a plan in mind: after he transformed his dan for the last time in the Moonwatch Immortal City, he would make a trip to the Seven Kingdoms Alliance in the future.

Waiting for the refining period.

Lu Chang'an met with Zhao Tan'er.

Zhao Tan'er looked a little downcast, sacrificing her magic treasures and practicing her spell aptitude in the sect.

Lu Chang'an was dragged by her to be a strong warrior, accompanying her in her training.

Both sides do not use magic treasures, Lu Chang'an maintains the level of downstream true dan, and his magic power is inferior to Zhao Tan'er.

Zhao Tan'er not only had good qualifications, but she had also received a chance in the Secret Realm of the Green Destiny, and her True Dan level was close to the upper reaches of the river.

Even though Lu Chang'an was more experienced in battle, he didn't get any advantage.

This was due to the fact that Evergreen Kung Fu was not good at fighting.

Moreover, Zhao Tang'er was much stronger than expected.

After understanding, this woman in the past two years, and the Golden Cloud Valley's other true dan cut a whole, even the eldest elder did not let go. In order to increase the number of actual battles, Zhao Taner went out on a mission and killed a few False Dan real people.

"Uncle Lu's magic power is unending and his staying power is amazing. If the battle continues for a long time, I'm afraid that Tang'er won't be able to hold her own."

On this day, after the two of them finished their sparring session, Zhao Tan'er was breathing lightly and a fine sweat appeared on her forehead.

The advantage she gained was very false, she couldn't help Lu Chang'an, and if it continued, she would lose her magic power.

"Your Uncle Lu practiced Nourishing Life Kung Fu, there are no other advantages, but his endurance is still good."

Many of the Nourishing Life Kung Fu, is better in endurance, Lu Changan has no need to hide his clumsiness.

After this cutting session.

Zhao Tang'er had to go out on another mission, targeting an aged and disabled early True Dan cultivator.

After completing this mission, she will go to the frontline to take care of her master.

Because there was a True Dan disciple, Zhao Siyao's mission at the frontline wasn't dangerous, assisting in guarding the second line of the battlefield at the rear of the Immortal City.

Lu Changan came at a bad time, Zhao Siyao was on her way to the front line.

"Tan'er, give this to your master, it will give her more self-protection."

Lu Changan took out a quasi third stage turtle puppet.

The defense power of this puppet is close to the third rank.

I don't know why, but Zhao Tan'er was so determined to pay for the spirit stones that she didn't want to owe Lu Chang'an a penny.

Lu Changan smiled and accepted the full amount of spirit stones.

Zhao Tan'er's refusal to marry her master was understandable, but she was somewhat unhappy.

In fact, Lu Changan had hidden three talismans in the puppet.

Two of the lower third rank and one of the middle rank.

With the tacit understanding from the past, Zhao Siyao would definitely be able to discover the talismans in the puppet.

Back then, Lu Chang'an was limited by his cultivation and was not capable of refining third-ranked talismans, so he gave a treasure talisman.

That precious talisman saved Zhao Siyao's life, which led to her success as a False Pill Realist.

False dan is the upper limit of Zhao Si Yao's normal life.

Even if she breaks the upper limit as Li Erqing did, she will barely enter the True Dan stage, and the quality of her pills won't be good, at most the downstream True Dan.

The next step, YuanYing, is definitely hopeless, unless it is the son of luck.

False Dan has a lifespan of more than three hundred years, while many mundane dynasties do not have such a long life.

Lu Chang'an gave the method of transforming dan to Zhao Siyao.

But he knew that if his friend could live a full life in the Pseudo-dan period, that would be a good ending, surpassing 99% of the cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Cultivation of immortality depends on the individual, and everyone has his or her own deadline.

Outsiders can help, but they can't force them to help.

If it is a YuanYing True Lord who pushes his descendant to break the upper limit and form the True Dan, then it is a smooth move.

If one's cultivation is similar, or even lagging behind, and one wants to help others break through the upper limit, then one is not measuring oneself, and is acting against the heavens.

......

Two or three months later.

Golden Cloud Valley, inside the Elder's cave.

"Master Lu, it was a pleasure to fulfill your orders. The refinement of the magic treasure went well."

Zhang Tieshan's expression was slightly tired as he took out two brocade boxes.

One of them was opened, and there were three nail head arrows.

It is similar to the previous model, between a nail and an arrow, and the main body of the shaft is made of fourth-ranked soul-raising wood.

The head of the nails is made of third-ranked Meteorite.

The overall color is deeper than the model, emitting an aura that stirs the soul.

"The three Nail Head Arrows, individually, are of medium grade. If unleashed as a set, they can match the power of a top-grade treasure. The maneuvering distance and concealment of the attack far exceeds that of ordinary magic treasures!"

Under Zhang Tieshan's introduction, Lu Changan took out a Nail Head Arrow.

He incorporated his divine sense mana and simply activated it.

Swish!

The Nailhead Arrow transformed into a shadow of an arrow with a trajectory that was hard to find, and within a few breaths, it became more and more blurred, almost disappearing from the senses.

At a certain moment, Zhang Tieshan's divine soul felt an inexplicable chill, a piercing friction sound came, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

"Good concealment."

In the next moment, the nail-head arrow appeared between Lu Changan's two fingers.

After a brief test, he found that the Nail Head Arrow's killing range was small, but the mana consumption was much smaller than that of a normal medium-grade magic weapon. The consumption of divine sense, as well as the control of divine sense, is relatively higher than that of ordinary magic treasures.

Normally, a medium-grade magic weapon is suitable for cultivators in the middle to late stages of Jiedan.

Because the Nail Head Arrow is a small magic treasure, Lu Changan's divine sense is better than that of his peers, so he can control one without any pressure.

"Mr. Lu didn't cultivate this treasure, how can he manage it so easily?"

Zhang Tieshan said in surprise.

Lu Changan laughed, "The main material of the Nail Head Arrow, the Soul Nurturing Wood, Mister Lu had nurtured it for many years with his wood magic power, and established a faint sense with the spirituality in it. Thus, without sacrificing it, it can be initially harnessed."

Most of the magic treasures need to be sacrificed by high-level cultivators so that they can be easily mastered.

The more compatible the mana is, the more powerful it is, and the more mana it saves.

If the mana doesn't match, it's not impossible to use it, but it's just a bit of a pain in the ass.

The same amount of mana paid, mana fit magic treasure, the power to be stronger by 30 to 50%.

The other box was opened and there were three dark green bracelets inside.

Zhang Tieshan called them "Soul Nurturing Bracelets".

This strange jewelry, worn year-round, can nourish the soul, slowly grow the divine sense, and resist external evils.

If you are strong in magic power, you can also turn it into an auxiliary treasure for subjugating ghosts and creatures.

"Master Lu, can you offer me a Soul Nurturing Bracelet as payment for this refining. Including the material cost of the Meteorite Blade Stone, there's no need to pay for it either."

After handing over the magic treasure, Zhang Tieshan took the initiative to propose.

"Good."

Lu Chang'an thought about it and nodded his head in agreement.

With two Soul Nurturing Rings, he would have enough even if he wore one on each arm, and usually hid it in his sleeve.

This time, Zhang Tieshan contributed expensive materials for the refining, and the results satisfied him.

I have to give some sweetness.

In the future, he might need Zhang Tieshan's help in refining and repairing magic treasures, including building high-grade puppet parts.

More importantly, he didn't trust other refiners.

Zhang Tieshan was also someone who was harboring secrets. The two of them have hundreds of years of friendship and trust each other's character.

In the two transactions before and after, they both made the Heart Demon Oath.

......

Lu Chang'an took his leave.

Zhang Tieshan put away a Soul Nurturing Ring and wore it on his small arm, covering it with his sleeve robe.

"With this 'Soul Nurturing Ring', my 'Hundred Refining and Quenching God Determination', the speed of cultivation should be able to speed up by a few points."

Zhang Tieshan closed his eyes and sensed, his face showing joy.

"Well, there is also a slight boost to the spiritual recovery of this Artifact Spirit......"

In his mind, the tender voice of the artifact spirit was heard.

"It's a pity, that Little Sixth Son, if he had sacrificed a hundred years of his lifespan to carefully cultivate the Soul Nurturing Wood to a higher grade, the effect might have been better."

The artifact spirit regretfully said.

"Longevity is the root of Evergreen Gong, this kind of thing is unrealistic."

Zhang Tieshan shook his head with a bitter smile.

Since the last time he recognized the Evergreen Technique, the Artifact Spirit and he had become even more wary of Lu Chang'an, suspecting him to be the reincarnation of Yan Donglai, or a pawn laid by the former.

Even the Spirit of the Artifact did not dare to think of Lu Changan, but instead, he often chanted "Xiao Liu Zi".

Zhang Tieshan couldn't help but wonder if this vessel spirit had the idea of "abandoning the darkness and turning to the light".

One hundred and fifty years ago, the blacksmith originated from him, inadvertently obtained this spiritual treasure fragment, found it extraordinary, thousands of hammered and refined, carry with you.

At that time, the spirit in the piece of spiritual treasure was very weak, nearly annihilated. He found out that he had a strong will and a suitable spiritual root attribute, so he chose his master and accompanied him on the path of immortal cultivation.

"Elder, are you sure he has already transformed his dan and reknit? That's a true dan, without a Yuan Ying True Lord to protect him, how did he dare?"

Zhang Tieshan was still in disbelief.

He himself has only transformed a false dan once.

After transforming into a dan, he made the dan with all his strength and got a 30% quality bonus.

He used all the chances of making a dan, and was blessed with a spiritual treasure, and finally made a real dan upstream.

Zhang Tieshan, who was born from a lower-grade spiritual root, was already satisfied with the upper reaches of the True Elixir.

With the help of the remnants of the spiritual treasure and the chance to strive for, there is still a lot of hope for the future path of the first baby. Although he also cultivates the body, he does not dare to turn the real Dan, in case of injury to the foundation of the road, it will be the end of the road.

"I don't know what to say."

The spirit of the vessel said in an old-fashioned manner, "In the ancient land of the Middle Kingdom, even a finalized dan has the chance to change its fate against the heavens. What's more, this person has the Evergreen Technique and third-order body refining to add support, and it is theoretically completely feasible to transform the undefined downstream true dan."

......

In the guest room of the Golden Cloud Valley, Lu Changan spent half a month to finish sacrificing the three Nail Head Arrows at the same time.

A cultivator's magic treasure is divided into an Intrinsic Magic Treasure and an Ordinary Magic Treasure.

Ordinary magic treasures can be refined normally.

The original treasure needs to be integrated into the cultivator's blood and nurtured by real fire for many years, so that it is more powerful and can be wielded like an arm.

Even if the treasure is taken away, it will be difficult to tame it within a short period of time.

In addition, as long as the treasure is constantly nurtured and refined with materials, theoretically it has unlimited possibilities of enhancement.

However, this premise is to live for a long, long time.

A normal high-ranking cultivator would be able to upgrade his treasure by one or two small grades in his lifetime at most.

"The Nail Head Arrow can be used as my hidden treasure. On weekdays, I will use True Fire Mana to continuously nurture and refine it, and if it lasts for decades, it will surely astonish the ghosts and gods when it is struck by the stored power!"

Lu Chang'an conceived a thought process that was similar to the Treasure Talisman.

He seldom fights in magic anyway, so he just warms up the Nailhead Arrow on weekdays to inject energy into it.

At the critical moment, a single blow will kill.

As for regular magic treasures, that's a good point.

In the past few decades, there were quite a few real people who died because of Lu Chang'an, and among them were basically false dan.

In addition, there were also the spoils of war from Lord Li Huo, with two superior magic treasures.

Whew!

Lu Chang'an raised his hand and floated it in mid-air, and three magic treasures appeared in front of him.

From high to low, they were the Purple Gourd, the Braided Rope Dharma Treasure, and the Crow Ruler Dharma Treasure.

The purple gourd is an excellent magic treasure of the fire system, suitable for use at the YuanYing stage.

Lu Changan is only at the early stage of True Dan, so he can't handle it.

Secondly, its attributes are not a perfect match.

However, wood begets fire, and the attributes of wood beget fire, so when you reach the YuanYing stage, you will be able to utilize a lot of power.

Braided Rope is a top-grade treasure that can trap the enemy and stimulate the power of thunder and lightning.

When the cultivation level is higher, it can be used as a means of trapping the enemy.

The final Wu Ruler is a fine lower-grade magic treasure, suitable for use at the end of the dan.

This is the treasure of Tan Zhenren, it is very powerful and can be used for both offense and defense, suitable for a frontal battle.

The Wu Ruler magic treasure, Lu Chang'an refined it a few years ago.

That is to say, his current suitable magic treasures are the Crow Ruler Magic Treasure and the Nail Head Arrow.

"There's also the Third Stage Puppet to fight head on, it's completely enough."

Lu Chang'an didn't lack cannon fodder or the ability to save his life.

Nailhead Arrow, complementing his offensive and killing abilities.

......

With the completion of his magic treasure, Lu Chang'an had no shortcomings amongst True Dan cultivators.

After that, he had more confidence to go to the Moonwatch Immortal City.

Even Zhang Tieshan chose to go to the Moonwatch Immortal City when he rekindled his True Dan, so it was safer there.

In order to avoid the outside world from connecting with the previous two times of the vestigial conjugation, there was a connection.

Lu Chang'an was ready to carry out the third transformation of Jindan three years after the last transformation of Jindan.

Now a year has passed.

During the waiting time, Lu Chang'an reached an agreement with the Golden Cloud Valley to become a Guest Elder of the sect.

In order to facilitate this, Zhang Tieshan had put in a lot of effort.

The Golden Cloud Valley was also very sincere and placed very little constraints on Lu Chang'an.

Lu Chang'an didn't need to go to the front line, he stayed in the rear, enjoying most of the treatment of a JieDan Elder, taking care of logistics and refining talismans.

At most, he can help the Golden Cloud Valley to guard its industries and deter the small-minded people in the rear.

If Lu Chang'an wants to leave, Golden Cloud Valley will definitely not stop him.

However, before Lu Chang'an leaves, he must inform us in advance.

Zhang Tieshan had specially instructed him to do so, and it was written in the spiritual contract.

The Golden Cloud Valley's conditions are so lenient.

Lu Chang'an's future cultivation will require a third-order spirit vein, so he might as well choose a familiar place.

However, Zhang Tieshan's "advice" made him feel a trace of indescribable insult. This kind of advice, as if he is going to run away at any time.

Nowadays, in the chaotic world of Immortal Cultivation, it is hard to find a stable and comfortable third-order spirit vein dojo, Lu Changan will not run away easily.

Liang, is already a big backwater of the battlefield.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang don't worry. As long as the flames of war don't reach Liang, Mister Lu will defend the Golden Cloud Valley to the death and shelter the disciples."

Becoming a guest minister of Golden Cloud Valley, Lu Changan appropriately expressed his loyalty.

......

In the blink of an eye, nearly two years have passed.

Lu Chang'an lived a leisurely elder routine in Golden Cloud Valley.

He had a high status, generous treatment, and enjoyed a mountain peak with a third-order spirit vein cave.

The young and new disciples of the outer sect, beautiful female cultivators, could be chosen by him as children or maidservants to help take care of the cave.

After thousands of years of cultivation, the third-order spirit vein in Golden Cloud Valley is considered a medium to large third-order spirit vein.

There is no pressure to accommodate multiple True Dan cultivators at the same time.

Spiritual veins of the same rank are also divided into sizes.

This is not at all the same size as the small third rank spirit veins cultivated by those Immortal Cultivation Families, which can at most accommodate one or two True Dan cultivators.

This day.

Lu Changan estimated the time, two months short of the planned three years.

Inside the Golden Cloud Valley, both the Grand Elder and Zhang Tieshan have gone to the frontline.

The Golden Cloud Sect Master, Mr. Xuan Xiao, is guarding the sect.

Lu Chang'an informed the Golden Cloud Sect Leader that he was going out for a while in the name of visiting friends and purchasing supplies.

Lu Chang'an, as a guest elder, was very free in Golden Cloud Valley.

The Golden Cloud Patriarch did not have any dissuasion, but kindly reminded:

"Be careful when you go out, Mr. Lu."

"The power of the Devil's Infernal Sect has infiltrated several neighboring countries. A few days ago, a third-order alchemist from the Beacon Kingdom, with an early True Dan cultivation, went out and fell alone and died, presumably assassinated by the Infernal Sect."
