Chapter 280 - Ten Years Later
Chapter 280 - Ten Years Later
"Several years ago, through my cousin's connections, I exchanged for the Dan Transformation Secret Technique and concocted my own potion to promote Dan Transformation."
Xing Peng pressed down the excitement in his heart and respectfully said.
Generally speaking, all major YuanYing level sects have a secret method for transforming pills.
The six sects of the Devil's Path, as the top YuanYing forces of Great Qing, treasured more than one or two secret methods of transforming pills, which were divided into several grades.
The Infernal Sect's middle and high level members can exchange their secret pills as long as they contribute enough.
It wasn't too difficult to exchange for an ordinary Dan transformation technique. If it's a superior technique, I'm afraid it would have to be at the level of the Jade Shadow Master.
The hardest part is to get a Yuan Ying True Lord to protect you.
Without a True Lord's protection, it is theoretically possible, but the risk is quite high.
"It's a pity that my financial resources are limited and I can't afford the luxury of heaven and earth spirits that increase the success rate of transforming pills."
Xing Peng regretfully said.
Certain heaven and earth spirits, such as Yin Yang Water, increase the success rate of pills and achieve better results.
Even without a True Lord's protection, one can still successfully transform pills.
"What is the success rate of the secret method you redeemed to transform pills."
Lu Chang'an asked.
"Without True Lord protection, there is only a 20% success rate."
Xing Peng didn't dare to hide it and said cautiously.
Once it fails, it means two things.
First, perishing on the spot.
Secondly, the foundation will be greatly injured, and if the dan is formed again, it will not even become a false dan.
A 20% chance?
Lu Changan secretly thought that the secret method of transforming dan that Xing Peng exchanged for was not as good as the Returning Dust Transformation Dan Method that he received from Zhang Tieshan.
The six sects of the Devil's Path occupy a huge territory with a large group of cultivators.
Although the 20% chance is not high, there are always some lucky people who can successfully transform dan without a True Lord's protection.
Moreover, this is not the best secret method of transforming pills in the Devil's Way.
"The Jade Shadow helmsman didn't stop you from transforming the elixir?"
"No, a twenty percent chance, Xing has plans early on and is willing to take a gamble." "I am now one hundred and forty-eight years old, if I drag it down further, my body will decline, my potential will be greatly reduced, the chances are slim."
Hearing this, Lu Changan nodded slightly.
Xing Peng has a certain relationship background, in the top YuanYing power, only to get a 20% chance of transforming dan.
Ordinary pseudo-dan cultivators don't even have this chance.
In addition to the secret method of transforming pills, there are also some chances, heaven and earth spirits, which can increase the chances.
Xing Peng thought that Lu Chang'an's "chance of transforming pills" was obtained from the ancient ruins.
"This Dan Transformation Heart Deed comes from Tian Feng Zhen Zhen, you should eat it up first and not pass it on to others."
Lu Changan handed a jade slip, to Xing Peng.
Lu Chang'an had transformed Dan three times and had an immense amount of experience. The insights in this jade slip actually came from him.
It is even more comprehensive than Zhang Tieshan's.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu for the gift."
Xing Peng immediately made a Heart Demon Vow.
Lu Changan's biggest constraint on Xing Peng was the Compassionate God Forbidden, which was difficult to unravel for an ordinary YuanYing stage.
If this person is fortunate enough to be promoted to True Dan, the Heart Demon Vow will also have a greater constraint.
Xing Peng had eaten through the Heart of Transformation Dan.
Lu Chang'an once again came to the small courtyard of the outer gate where he was located and set up an array to observe his Dan Transformation.
Seven days later.
The gray dan in Xing Peng's body was somewhat shockingly transformed and returned to pure liquid mana.
At the time when the backlash of the transformed dan was at its worst, Lu Changan took out a green elixir with his back hand and flicked it into Xing Peng's abdomen.
If not, Xing Peng would be seriously injured and spit out blood, shaking his foundation and affecting the process of transforming the Dan.
"Compared to transforming a true elixir, transforming a false elixir is indeed easier."
Lu Changan felt simple.
For Xing Peng, it was equivalent to walking through the gates of hell.
If the Harmonization Dan went seriously out of control and exploded directly, killing him instantly, Lu Chang'an couldn't do anything about it.
After all, Xing Peng didn't have a third-order body refining, nor did he have a True Lord to protect him.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your renewed kindness."
Successfully transforming the dan, Xing Peng realized that the injuries in his body were not considered serious, and with gratitude, he knelt down to pay his respects.
Next, he only needs to recuperate for a year and a half, take great medicines and precious materials, recover his physical state, and find a place to crystallize the dan again.
"Where are you going to end your dan."
Lu Chang'an didn't plan to use the Evergreen Secret Technique again to help Xing Peng quickly repair his body.
The green pill from before was itself a third-order healing medicine, incorporating Lu Changan's Evergreen Secret Technique of three months of longevity.
Due to his promotion to Jindan, the effect of the Evergreen Secret Technique has increased.
"The Infernal Sect has secret strongholds, including the Immortal City of Cultivation, available for Jindan."
Xing Peng replied.
"The matter of conjugating dan, you make your own decision!"
"The elder behind Mister Lu, 'Elder Xuan', is on the verge of infancy, and there is no one around to break the prohibition in your mind."
Lu Chang'an said and left the outer gate.
......
Returning to Yunlai Peak cave.
Lu Chang'an deliberated for a moment, analyzing his success rate in helping others to transform their dan.
If it was a fake dan that was transformed into a dan, using Xing Peng as the standard, according to the "dosage" just now, the success rate is estimated to be 50% to 60%.
Increasing the dosage can increase the success rate, but there is no guarantee that it is 100% risk-free.
The transformation of pills depends on the individual, and the spiritual pressure field is unpredictable. Lu Changan is not a YuanYing ZhenJun, so he can suppress it and ensure that his life will be safe.
Besides, Lu Changan can't afford to invest several times more of his life span.
Afterwards, Lu Changan changed the target of Dan transformation to Zhao Siyao for a theoretical simulation.
After a long time, he let out a long sigh and couldn't help but shake his head.
Zhao Siyao's age was much older than Xing Peng, now approaching one hundred and eighty years old.
Xing Peng's cultivation techniques, and even his divine sense, were superior to Zhao Siyao.
By investing more lifespan, the level of Transformation Dan can be achieved.
However, if he were to make another dan, he probably wouldn't even be able to make a false dan.
If you fail, you will have a higher chance of dying at this age.
To summarize.
Lu Chang'an could, as Yuan Ying Zhen Jun did, allow pseudo-dan cultivators to have a higher success rate in transforming dan.
However, he could not determine the success rate and quality of the next elixir. This is why, except for close bloodline descendants and disciples, YuanYing True Lords seldom help others to protect their pills.
After the pills have been transformed, it is necessary to invest in large medicines and spirits to repair the damaged foundation. If the foundation is severely damaged, it may even require more than a fourth-order heaven and earth spirit.
If you want to make another dan, you have to invest another dan resources and there is no guarantee of success.
Within the clan, there are limited resources for the completion of the dan, and competition is great.
A YuanYing True Lord can only do it occasionally, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction in the clan.
After assisting Xing Peng to transform into a dan.
Lu Chang'an returns to his daily routine in Golden Cloud Valley.
Practicing drawing talismans, sacrificing magic treasures, and harboring treasure talismans.
Secretly collecting life-extension pills.
Silently saving up materials to build a third-order puppet.
As long as he doesn't leave the Golden Cloud Valley's sphere of influence, the Chen Kingdom's Xie Clan's wanted bounty will be a nullity.
Unless the invasion of the Six Sects of the Devil's Path reaches the Liang Immortal Cultivation World.
Otherwise, there is no other reason to stop Lu Changan from practicing in Golden Cloud Valley.
......
The years go by like a shuttle.
Ten years flew by!
In the eyes of the outside world, Lu Chang'an hadn't stepped out of the Golden Cloud Valley mountain gate for half a step in the past ten years.
The Turtle Master's legend has been elevated in the neighboring Immortal Cultivation Countries.
It has become an interesting topic of conversation for many low-ranking cultivators before tea and after dinner.
This day.
Lu Chang'an, who had reached the age of 190, completed his daily practice routine and slowly closed his gong.
After ten years, Evergreen Dharma power has become much stronger.
Counting up, he had been promoted to Jindan for more than ten years.
But there is still a long way to go before he reaches the peak of the early Jindan stage.
Currently, it is only close to a quarter of the progress.
After his routine cultivation, Lu Chang'an operated his Dan Power to contain the seventy to eighty Treasure Talismans in front of him.
Becoming a Sect Elder, Lu Chang'an didn't have to collect materials himself, he could issue tasks and let others run errands.
In the past ten years, he had gotten two more third-order spirit wood for refining treasure talismans.
As long as the reward is generous enough.
All up and down the Golden Cloud Valley, from Qi Refining disciples, to Jindan Elders, and even the Patriarch, might help him run errands.
Of course, in order not to show his wealth too much, Lu Changan kept it within a reasonable range.
He occasionally went out secretly as a vest to gather important resources.
As long as the Grand Elder wasn't in Golden Cloud Valley, the other Elders, as well as the Patriarch, couldn't see the cracks.
In addition to the treasure talisman, Lu Chang'an had silently saved up materials over the years and built another third stage puppet.
Lu Chang'an was carrying a huge amount of spirit stones, so he could afford to spend so much.
......
The collection of Life Extension Pills never stops.
Now, Lu Chang'an's lifespan has reached 1126 years.
Seven years ago, the Grand Elder traded Lu Chang'an a third-order Life Extension Pill, plus a third-order material, for the Crystal Condensation Pill.
A normal cultivator can extend his life by about thirty years by taking the Third Order Life Extension Pill.
Lu Chang'an took it and extended his life by one armor!
The value of the Third Order Life Extension Pill has increased dramatically as the demand is for high level cultivators.
Although the Crystal Condensation Pill is a strategic resource, it is of little use to the conjugation cultivators themselves.
Even if it is used to form a dan, it may not be successful and most of them will form a false dan.
The Third Grade Life Extension Pill is different.
If a late-stage cultivator can live an extra thirty years, it will have an impact on the neighboring Immortal Cultivation powers.
If the effects of the Life Extension Pill are not of the same grade, they cannot be stacked. I am afraid that the value of the Third Grade Life Extension Pill would be much higher than the Crystal Condensation Pill.
After all, life is the foundation of cultivation.
In addition to the Third Order Life Extension Pill, Lu Changan secretly collected two Second Order Life Extension Pills.
They were 15 years of life extension and 11 years of life extension respectively.
In the future, the effects of the Second Order Life Extension Pills will become less and less effective.
In order to avoid exposing his identity, Lu Chang'an will reduce the frequency of collection in the future.
......
The door to the secret room opened when he finished practicing.
"Master, this is the latest battle report from the frontline."
The Earth Rock Mouse came over with a jade slip in its mouth.
Lu Chang'an took the jade slip, his divine sense swept through it, and his face did not look good.
In the frontline battlefield, a few more third-order spirit veins have been breached.
In the past ten years. The frontline battlefields of Yan, Chen, have fallen half of their territory.
Fortunately, no Yuan Ying True Lords have fallen.
However, there were more than one or two cases of True Lords being seriously injured.
The True Lord of Chen Kingdom's Tian Luo Sect was able to save his life by having his YuanYing exit his body.
At that time, Lu Chang'an was greatly pleased.
It was a pity that he didn't fall.
Otherwise, the Xie Clan of the Chen Kingdom would have fallen to the ground, and the opportunity to beat up a falling dog would have arrived.
The speed of a YuanYing spirit body is very fast, and it is very difficult to kill it completely in a fight of the same level.
Even if the physical body is destroyed, the spirit body of the YuanYing can find a suitable body to quickly recover the magic power, without the need to build the foundation, the Dan repair process.
"It seems that we have to make a trip to the 'Seven Kingdoms Alliance' as soon as possible, if the Chen Kingdom is also destroyed, the Jing Kingdom will be next."
Lu Chang'an's heart tightened and he made a decision.
The closest route to the Seven Kingdoms Alliance cannot be bypassed by the Jing Kingdom.
You can also go from Chen, but it's a little bit farther. But now that Chen has fallen halfway, there is no need to consider it at all.
Alternatively, we can go around the Black Mist Mountain Range in the north, which is even further away.
If a Pillar Cultivator rushes quickly through the Black Mist Mountain Range, his aura can't be concealed, and he will definitely attract big demons and birds of prey.
The war with the devil is not optimistic, but Liang's Golden Cloud Valley is located in the back, so it is not a threat to this side for the time being.
Lu Changan predicted that the Wei Dao Alliance would be able to resist for at least thirty years.
The real main battlefield will be the Beacon Kingdom, which is a vast country with many Immortal cultivating forces.
As long as the Fenghuang Kingdom can resist the pressure, it will not be easy for the war to reach the Liang Kingdom.
In the Jinyang North Immortal War, the weak Leihuo Palace held out for about twenty years with the advantage of local defense.
If not for Chu Tianfeng's pressure, let the fire Lord come out early to fight, I'm afraid it can still be delayed for a few years.
Because, the defense has the advantage of spirit vein formations.
Especially for the YuanYing level sects, with the fourth rank formation in full swing, it is difficult to break through it head on without crushing strength, or sufficient means to break the ban.
"Contact Xiao Peng, I want to see him tonight."
Lu Chang'an commanded.
Zee!
With a flash of an earthy yellow halo, the ground rock rat disappeared.
......
Inside the inner gate of Golden Cloud Valley, inside the cave of a small mountain peak.
"Greetings, Mr. Lu."
Xing Peng's disguised green-shirted disciple with a plain face bowed and saluted.
After all these years of operation, Xing Peng became an inner disciple of Golden Cloud Valley.
In fact, he was already an early stage True Dan cultivator.
Xing Peng's strength was part of the equation, luck was also important.
Ten years ago, when he learned that Xing Peng had succeeded in transforming his dan by fluke and his dao foundation had not been damaged, his cousin, the "Jade Shadow Helmsman", gave him a matching dan-forming artifact.
The Jade Shadow Rudder Master is already a late-stage cultivator, and his strength is even higher than Lu Chang'an's in his previous life.
Xing Peng's many years of operation in the Infernal Sect, the wealth he saved, coupled with his cousin's connections, to get a genuine Crystal Condensation Pill.
When he was a dan practitioner in his previous life, he was from an ordinary background and did not have such connections, so he used a second-grade crystal condensation dan.
After transforming into a dan, the mana becomes more pure, improving the quality of the next dan.
With all these advantages, even though Xing Peng was no longer as young as he was back then and his potential was reduced, he still formed the Downstream True Dan.
Learning about the factors that led Xing Peng to form the True Dan, Lu Chang'an sighed that it was better to have a background.
This kind of successful case of transforming dan is beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.
According to Xing Peng, the "Underworld Spring Sect", the first of the six holy sects, even possesses a holy spring that directly enhances the quality of pills.
The pills that have been formed for many years can be upgraded slightly, but they can't be upgraded to Jindan.
The reason for this is that the formation of the Golden Elixir requires the descending of the Golden Elixir's Dao Rhythm.
However, that kind of supreme holy spring is very difficult to get hold of for all the YuanYing True Lords of the six Sacred Sects.
"Peng, 'Old Man Xuan' is preparing to return to the Great Green Central Region, and must travel through the Seven Kingdoms Alliance. The surrounding area is plagued with demonic forces, and a more peaceful route is needed."
Lu Chang'an said without moving.
Returning to the Great Qing Central Region?
Xing Peng was secretly alarmed: could it be that the peak JieDan master behind Lu Changan was a cultivator from the Ten Sect of XuanMen?
"From Liang, to the Seven Kingdoms Alliance a peaceful route around the area, I can get it, any farther than that can't be done......" Xing Peng's posture became more and more respectful.
"Good, give you half a month."
Lu Changan was rather more assured of Xing Peng after he was promoted to True Dan.
For one, the constraint of the Heart Demon Oath was more effective.
The second is that the Compulsive God Prohibition has been refined and strengthened by Lu Changan within these ten years.
In the past ten years, in the eyes of outsiders, although Lu Chang'an didn't go out, it didn't prevent other cultivators from coming over to visit.
Zhou Qingxuan, the Supreme Elder of the Beast Control Zhou Clan, had come a few times to discuss their beast control experience.
Lu Changan took the opportunity to observe the compulsion forbidden in her sea of consciousness to further perfect the Compulsion Divine Forbidden.
Fairy Shi also came twice.
Lu Chang'an discussed with her about her experience in formations and prohibitions for at least three days and three nights each time.
......
Returning to Yunlai Peak's cave.
Lu Changan used the Evergreen True Flame to refine and nurture the three Nail Head Arrows.
In the past ten years, the three Nailhead Arrows have never been activated, and they are usually surrounded by the Jindan, constantly nourished by the Jindan's magic power.
Lu Changan vaguely sensed that the quality of the Nail Head Arrows was approaching that of a top-grade magic treasure.
It wasn't that Lu Chang'an's Jindan True Flame Sacrifice was incredibly effective.
The main material used to refine the Nail Head Arrow was a fourth-order Soul Nurturing Wood.
Zhang Tieshan's skills were not enough, and the other auxiliary materials were not enough for the fourth rank, so the refined magic treasure was more or less degraded.
"More than ten years of Jindan true fire refining and nurturing, Nail Head Arrow "open front" arrow, I'm afraid it is not weaker than the late Jindan cultivator."
Between the three Nail-head Arrows quivering, the invisible sharpness and coldness made Lu Chang'an's soul feel a trace of uneasiness.
The attack of the Nailhead Arrows was insidious.
As long as the attack is successful, it is difficult for a cultivator in the middle to early stage of JieDan to escape.
However, this kind of "energy storage" state of the nail head arrow, after launching once, it will return to the regular power.
Half a month later.
Lu Changan received a road map from Xing Peng, which was engraved in a jade sketch.
"Following the route on this, traveling to the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, with True Dan cultivators rushing at full speed, a round trip will take one and a half months."
Lu Chang'an pondered for a long time and planned to give himself three months.
The Seven Kingdoms Alliance is also fighting against the demonic invasion.
Going out for too long means higher risks.
Remaining in the guise of the Golden Cloud Valley Cave, with its false scent, is also easy to be recognized.
Three months, time is indeed a bit tight.
If something happens on the way, it won't be enough.
Lu Chang'an had a plan to deal with this.
"Hop!"
Lu Chang'an closed his eyes, and the shadow of the second soul in the Nine Seal Tablet descended to possess him.
Nowadays, it only takes a year for the second life to light up, so there is no need to finesse it.
The fusion of the souls of the two lives is unprecedentedly powerful, beyond the realm of the JieDan stage.
With strong divine sense senses, one can avoid some troubles on the road in advance.
Combined with the roadmap provided by Xing Peng, the margin for error was greatly increased.
A few days later.
Lu Chang'an refined an excessive amount of talismans and handed them over to Golden Cloud Valley.
Afterwards, he announced to the public that he was in seclusion, leaving behind the personal mana breath of the Third Order Illusory Truth Talisman.
......
Two months later.
Seven Kingdoms Alliance.
Inside a mortal castle destroyed by war.
The original ruins of the place, a variety of stone in a short time to construct a stone hall.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a purple haze recluse light crossed the sky clouds and landed from the Nine Gangs Sky.
"Demon thief! Mister Wang has finally found your hiding place."
In the recluse light, the face of an angular and handsome man appeared, wearing a straight jacket of purple jade brocade, with a white jade pendant at his waist.
He sacrificed a red feather fan magic treasure, and the fire cloud burned straight to the three heavens, covering the sky above the ruined stone hall.
"Senior brother Wang, how have you been?"
Inside the stone hall, a slightly familiar man's voice was heard.
Wang Feng swept his divine sense and realized that there was no restriction in the stone hall, and there was only a blue-clothed young man with sword brows and starry eyes inside.
The young man in blue has a small open box next to him, which contains some embroidered shoes and socks of female cultivators.
"Senior Nie?"
Wang Feng was shocked.
The divine sense repeatedly scanned and confirmed. He flew into the stone hall in surprise.
"Senior Brother Nie, you stole the shoes and socks of the Bitch Within just to lure me out to meet you? Why don't you return to the Leaving Fire Palace openly?"
Wang Feng glanced at the box next to him with an odd expression on his face.
Two days ago, the shoes and socks of his daoist couple were stolen many times without finding any clues.
There is a residual demonic aura at the scene, suspected to be some kind of special demonic beast with low cultivation.
In order to catch the demon thief, Wang Feng marked his partner's shoes and socks and tracked them all the way here.
"Senior brother Wang, Nie Mou has his own chance outside, the Great Dao is promising, I don't want to go back to the Li Huo Palace and suffer together to resist the invasion of the demonic path."
Nie Yuan said in a flat tone.
"Senior Brother Nie, you used to address me as Senior Brother, why did you change your name."
Wang Feng's face was wary, and his divine sense repeatedly probed to confirm that it was the Nie Yuan from his memories.
"Mister Nie has been certified as a Jindan and is a few years older than you, so it's only natural that I should change my name from the past."
Nie Yuan said rightfully.
After saying that, his body emanated Jindan-level mana fluctuations.
"Nie...... senior brother, you really formed a Golden Dan? Ten years ago, we got the gossip and thought it was an impostor."
After Wang Feng's surprise, his mood appeared complicated.
He is an earth spirit root genius, with the support of the Elder Grandfather, and the cultivation of the greatest resources of the Li Huo Palace, he has worked very hard to form the Golden Dan.
Nie Yuan, an inner disciple who was not in his eyes back then, even formed the Immortal Golden Dan, and is now on par with him.
Nie Yuan is a strong person, after the same certified Golden Dan, his age is longer, and his name has been changed, so it can be seen that he doesn't want to go back to the Li Huo Palace.
Seeing Wang Feng's reaction, Lu Chang'an's heart was relieved.
At that time, when he obtained the identity of Nie Yuan, he didn't get a complete memory and could only confirm that the two of them rarely interacted with each other.
However, he had warmed up Wang Feng's wounds and knew that Nie Yuan was older than Wang Feng.
This kind of age difference of a few years is not enough for a fellow cultivator to understand.
"Mister Nie came over this time because I'm prepared to help the Li Fire Palace and end the karma of past cultivation."
Lu Chang'an faintly said.
Upon hearing this, Wang Feng couldn't help but think of something and tried to say:
"A few days ago, the Luo Yun real person who disappeared from the 'Heavenly Star Pavilion' in an inexplicable death, was it Senior Brother Nie's hand?"
The Heavenly Star Pavilion, was once a YuanYing level power in the Seven Kingdoms Alliance that was overrun by the Devil Dao, and even the YuanYing True Lord fell.
The situation is similar to the Leaving Fire Palace, and the strength is also similar.
The Leaving Flame Palace has been attempting to acquire a quasi-fourth order spiritual vein mountain gate, and has paid a small price for it.
The Heavenly Star Pavilion intervenes in the competition, and the two sides are incompatible and in constant conflict.
"That's right, Realizer Luo Yun died at the hands of Mister Nie."
The corner of Lu Changan's mouth hooked up with faint arrogance.
"You alone, killed him?"
Wang Feng's face changed, seemingly a bit unbelievable.
Luo Yun Zhen Zhen, an early stage True Dan cultivator of the Heavenly Star Pavilion, had stepped into the JieDan stage for hundreds of years.
This kind of veteran JieDan cultivator.
As a Jindan cultivator, Wang Feng could easily win, but it would be difficult to kill him.
Not to mention, killing without a trace, leaving no clues behind.
"Killing him, it's easy."
Taking in Wang Feng's expression.
Lu Chang'an couldn't help but ponder: could it be that Luo Yun's real strength is good?
He really didn't feel it.
At that time, Lu Chang'an was squatting near the Heavenly Star Pavilion's mountain gate.
As luck would have it, it was only a few days before he came across a single JieDan cultivator.
He followed and attacked from behind.
The nail head arrow was sent out instantly, killing the target's soul with one arrow.
The Luo Yun real person didn't even have time to put out his magic treasure, and he died.
Even before the arrow penetrated his body, his heart and soul had already been damaged.
"...... It's easy?"
Wang Feng's face twitched, and his heart was sour, it was very unpleasant.
Although it felt like Nie Yuan was pretending a bit.
But his intuition told him that Senior Brother Nie wasn't lying, nor was there a need for it.
How could there be such a big difference in strength when they are both Jindan?
Wang Feng couldn't help but wonder if he had formed a fake Jindan.
