Chapter 283: Divination and Projection
Chapter 283 - Divination and Projection
Seven Days Later.
Yunlai Peak Cave, within the alchemy room.
The lid of the furnace opens, the haze rises, and three ebony haze shimmering spirit pills float out and fly down to Lu Chang'an's hand.
"Third-stage Spirit Pills, Wu Long Dan."
Lu Changan looked at the quality of the Spirit Pills, all of them had seven lines, crystalline in color and full of grains.
Wulong Dan can cure most of the poisons in the world, it is the third-order elixir that Master Li Huo is most skillful at refining.
"In the past, I couldn't get it for a hundred years, but today, a third-order alchemist is within reach."
Lu Chang'an laughed aloud, his mood was soothing.
In this life, he had tried to practice alchemy on the side, but unfortunately, his talent was poor, and he was only a second-order lower-grade for hundreds of years, not promoted to second-order middle-grade.
In the previous decades, he had almost given up on alchemy, only making pills for his daily needs. At this moment, becoming a third-order elixir master was considered to have fulfilled his long-cherished wish.
In comparison, divination and weapon refining were more helpful to Lu Changan.
Divination, predicting good and bad luck, is conducive to sound management.
Weapon smithing is the highest attainment of the Immortal Cultivation Art in the previous life of the Fire Lord, and he became a third-ranked top-grade weapon smith.
Nowadays, all these belong to Lu Chang'an.
In the future, refining weapons, his own original magic treasure, he doesn't have to pretend to be someone else.
At the same time, refining weapons will help in the creation of puppets.
The puppet's weapons and defenses can be refined by himself to reach a true treasure level, not a castrated version with only material strength and characteristics.
"The previous investment in the Seven Kingdoms Alliance was so worth it!"
Lu Changan put away the elixir, his mood was still a little stirred at this moment.
The ability of the Nine Seal Tablet to reincarnate for one life was different from simply obtaining the lifelong memories of a YuanYing old monster.
If it was the latter, each skill would still have to be learned from scratch, and at most, one would be more experienced and take fewer detours.
Like the Earth before Lu Chang'an traveled, the Internet is open to vast amounts of knowledge.
But to learn the top in any field, it may not be possible to exhaust the energy of an ordinary person's life.
Master Li Huo is located in the fourth position of the Nine Seal Tablet, behind Lu Chang'an's third life.
Compared to the previous reincarnation, using the fourth reincarnation to describe it is actually better understood.
A few days ago, Lu Chang'an summarized the experience of his fourth life and found that the previous centuries of Lord Lihuo's life were just too smooth!
The Heavenly Spirit Root qualification, from Qi Refining to Dan Jie, is unimpeded, and there is almost no bottleneck.
Lack of bumps and grinds.
This led to a lack of potential after his promotion to YuanYing.
Of course, this might not be the main reason.
The environment of the Great Green East Region was also an important factor.
After being promoted to YuanYing, Lord LiFire had stuck to the basics and lacked the ability to forge ahead.
Being tied to the Leaving Fire Palace in Liang Kingdom limited his future path.
This is something that Lord Li Huo surely understands.
But since he was a young man, he grew up from the Leaving Fire Palace, and his heart and soul and emotions for hundreds of years, his disciples and disciples, his daoists' children, were all tied to this place.
They are not going to explore outside.
First, there is a risk, it is difficult to get out of their comfort zone.
Secondly, once he leaves, the Fire Palace will surely decline and may even perish.
......
"Luckily, I don't take a wife or have children in this life, and I'm not completely bound to any Immortal Cultivation forces, so I don't have that much to worry about."
Lu Chang'an realized that what Lord Li Huo lacked was exactly the advantage he possessed.
However, Upper Man Li Huo's top-notch qualifications and speed of cultivation were also what Lu Chang'an lacked.
In the Immortal Cultivation World, there are not that many perfections.
As strong as a YuanYing True Lord, he also has his own limitations and may not be as good as an ordinary cultivator in certain aspects.
Standing on the shoulders of the giants of the fourth life, Lu Chang'an has a clearer plan for his future path of immortal cultivation:
Before YuanYing, you can still hang around in the Great Green East Region.
After YuanYing, if you want to seek a higher level, you have to go to a wider stage.
This is especially true for cultivators like Lu Changan, who is a casual cultivator.
The fourth level spiritual veins and the luck of heaven and earth all limit the cultivation area, making it difficult for cultivators to break through the upper limit.
In his fourth life's memories, Lu Changan also had a clearer perception of the Heaven Honoring Continent's boundaries.
The Great Kun where he was in his previous life was called Kun Zhou.
The Great Qing at this time is called Qingzhou.
Lu Chang'an had heard similar rumors in his previous life.
The two boundaries of Kun Zhou and Qing Zhou belong to the medium state boundaries of the Heaven Honoring Continent.
In such a realm, it is impossible for a native to give birth to a God Transformation Stage because there are simply no fifth-order spirit veins.
Anyone who can give birth to a late stage YuanYing is a person of great fortune.
The map of the Tianyan Continent in the fourth life is rather general and not detailed enough, it only marks the locations of some great states with long-lasting inheritance.
The legendary Central State is located in the center of the Heavenly Honoring Continent.
The Feng Hua Continent, where the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty is located, is situated in the center of the eastern part of the continent. Qingzhou is also located in the eastern part of the Heavenly Honors, and is separated from the Feng Hua Continent by two large states.
On the map, the distance seems to be relatively close, but in reality, the journey is incredibly far.
In his previous life, the location of Da Kun was not labeled.
However, Lu Changan believed that when he was promoted to YuanYing in the future, it should not be difficult to find the location of his past life.
There was still a lot of useful information for Lu Chang'an in his fourth life's memories.
For example, the Wind Elemental Kingdom.
Lu Chang'an learned that Lord Li Huo had sent part of his bloodline descendants, to the Wind Elemental Kingdom, before the Northern Relocation War of the Golden Sun.
Why did he choose the Wind Elemental Kingdom?
In the knowledge of Master Li Huo, the environment of Feng Yuan Country is harsh, although it is not suitable for cultivation development, but it is a place that can protect their lives during the invasion of the demonic paths.
Not only is the Wind Origin country blocked by the heavenly rift valley, but also the local area is very barren, so the six sects of the Devil's Path will most likely not be able to look at it.
The six clans of the Devil's Way are mostly unwilling to look at it.
Of course, there are still some outstanding disciples of the Lord of the Flame who have followed the Flame Palace and moved to the Seven Kingdoms Alliance.
The Seven Kingdoms Alliance is more prosperous than the Weidao Alliance and has greater prospects for development.
Whether it is to forge ahead or to save their lives, Lord Li Huo has made arrangements accordingly.
In addition, Lord Li Huo has also arranged hidden materials for the future generations.
Lu Chang'an had no thoughts of greed.
After all, he was tantamount to experiencing the life of Lord Li Huo.
Although under the effect of the Nine Seal Tablet, it does not affect the original heart, but only the experience of one more life's enlightenment, but more or less some love for the house.
If the Nine Seals Tablet didn't have this kind of ability, after a few lifetimes of reincarnation, Lu Chang'an would have already had a split personality, how could he maintain his original mind unchanged.
"If the Six Sects of the Devil's Way threaten Liang, Feng Yuan Country can serve as a good place to hibernate."
Lu Changan intended to arrange the back roads to Feng Yuan Country as well.
After all, the YuanYing Elder Monsters of the Fourth Life had sent their bloodline descendants there to save their lives.
As for the poor environment and barren resources of the Wind Elemental Kingdom, Lu Chang'an didn't care.
Over the years, he had already accumulated a rich fortune, enough to support his cultivation for many years.
......
Two days later, Lu Changan was trying his hand at weapon smithing.
Suddenly, he had a thought and took out the Elder Token from his storage pouch.
The token glowed white and sent a message.
"Tian Feng Zhen Zhen, returning from serious injuries?"
Lu Chang'an pondered and stopped what he was doing.
During the Devil Dao invasion war, Zhang Tieshan had made great contributions to Golden Cloud Valley.
Over the past ten years, he has killed two early stage True Dan practitioners of the Devil Dao, annihilated six or seven False Dan real people, and killed an equal number of demonic beasts.
This is not counting the demonic realities that were fended off or repelled during the war.
Relative to some biographies, did not cross the level to kill the enemy, killed at most the same level, sounds nothing extraordinary.
However, the devil's way of the same level of cultivators, the overall than the Wei Dao Alliance to be one step stronger.
Therefore, to be able to kill a same-ranked JieDan real person in the invasion battlefield of the Devil's Way is considered a very rare achievement.
The greater Zhang Tieshan's achievement, the less pressure on Golden Cloud Valley, and the number of new blood cultivators sent to the front line each year can be relatively small.
The purpose of this rule of the Wei Dao Alliance is to increase the motivation of high-ranking cultivators in the major powers to kill the enemy.
In addition, the battle merit can be exchanged for a lot of scarce resources in the Wei Dao Alliance.
Half an hour later.
A group of injured Golden Cloud Valley cultivators returned to the mountain gate.
Zhang Tieshan was the leader among them.
Inside the Sovereign Hall.
Lu Changan was the first to see the injured Zhang Tieshan.
Zhang Tieshan's face was pale, his breath was weak, and one of his legs was broken and nourished by the spiritual rattan fixation.
"Elder Lu, how is Elder Tian Feng's injury?"
Patriarch Jin Yun looked on from the side, his face showing concern.
Although Zhang Tieshan was in the early stage of JieDan, his fighting strength was comparable to a cultivator in the middle stage of JieDan.
"The injury is a bit heavy, it needs to be recuperated in time, or else it may damage the foundation of the Dao."
Lu Chang'an took his pulse, his heart was different.
It was not Zhang Tieshan's injury.
Injuries are indeed heavy, the body bones broken more than a dozen, the internal organs are seriously damaged, leaving a lot of dark wounds, affecting the dantian. Lu Changan's abnormalities come from Zhang Tieshan's body, a hidden and strange magic treasure breath.
If it is the past, Lu Changan can not see the problem.
But now that he is a YuanYing Elder's eye perception, and is close to the pulse, he can see the clues.
As a Third Order Upper Grade Alchemist, Lu Changan felt that the aura of that magic treasure was unique and contained some kind of spirituality that was beyond the ordinary magic treasures.
Lu Chang'an's Nail Head Arrow and even Lord Li Huo's top-grade magic treasure were no match for it.
"Could it be an imitation spirit treasure, or a fragment of a spirit treasure?"
Lu Changan's current cognition speculated.
If it was a genuine Spiritual Treasure, deliberately restrained, Lu Changan's sensory state at the moment would make it difficult to detect.
"Elder Lu, can you heal Zhang's injuries as soon as possible without leaving any after-effects. In addition to the clan's contribution, there will be another reward afterward."
Zhang Tieshan's voice was hoarse as he arched his hand and saluted.
Lu Chang'an is a good healer and is good at warming up.
Golden Cloud Valley had proposed to give Lu Changan a certain amount of clan contribution for healing the injuries of the top brass returning from the battlefield.
Lu Chang'an would only do it for those top brass with very serious injuries and it would not consume longevity.
Lu Chang'an used the contributions he received to exchange for needed resources, or to issue sect missions and have the cultivators of Golden Cloud Valley run errands for him.
"At least three months. Every seven days, Mister Lu will go to Elder Zhang's residence for treatment. In addition, the following herbs are needed......"
Lu Chang'an pondered for a moment and gave the treatment plan.
In fact, he can cure it in less than half the time.
Three months is a reasonable range for a third-ranked famous doctor.
"Then I'll take care of Elder Lu. After this is accomplished, Mister Zhang will refine the magic treasure of Elder Lu once for free."
A smile appeared on Zhang Tieshan's face.
Back then, when he refined the Nail Head Arrow for Lu Changan, he himself did his best, but the Spiritual Treasure fragment did not do his best.
After all these years, Zhang Tieshan's refining skills have improved, and with one more refinement, he can upgrade the Nail Head Arrow into a top-grade magic treasure.
"No need, Mister Lu is struggling a bit to master a mid-grade magic weapon. Leave the matter of refining the magic treasure for the future."
Lu Chang'an smiled and refused.
"If you, Fellow Daoist Zhang, are not happy about it, you can just compensate with third-ranked materials at that time."
"Then let's follow Fellow Daoist Lu's opinion."
Zhang Tieshan nodded in agreement, but in his heart, there was something strange.
With Lu Changan's nature, he would not want to upgrade his own life magic treasure to the extreme and increase the means of protecting the Dao.
......
The two sides reached an agreement.
Lu Changan went to Zhang Tieshan's cave that day to heal his wounds once.
When the healing was over, Lu Chang'an would receive a generous amount of clan contribution, as well as the third-ranked treasure materials provided by Zhang Tieshan as thanks.
After Lu Changan left, Zhang Tieshan looked hesitant.
"Senior Artifact Spirit, when Lu Changan heals my wounds, will he be able to tell that you exist."
"Don't worry, if he was the reincarnation of Yan Donglai, and was so familiar with you, after years of close contact, he would have already seen it."
The vessel spirit's old-fashioned, yet milky voice came out.
"After this Artifact Spirit's observation and analysis, this person's acting style is very different from Yan Donglai. If he was just an ordinary genius who practiced the Evergreen Technique, he would not have this kind of perception and vision."
"That would be good. There is no harm in letting him see my cultivation progress, as well as my quasi third-order body refining."
Zhang Tieshan put down his heart and stopped dwelling on it.
This time, he looked for Lu Chang'an to heal his wounds because the injuries were really serious and he was worried about affecting his foundation.
His cultivation level is more than half of the early stage of JieDan, it is the stage to make war achievements and compete for precious resources.
As long as he is promoted to the middle stage of JieDan, Zhang Tieshan's ability to protect himself on the battlefield will greatly increase, and no cultivator can threaten his life without his YuanYing.
Due to his outstanding performance on the battlefield, Zhang Tieshan has been targeted by the high-ranking cultivators of the Beast King Valley in recent years.
This time, when he was injured, he was targeted by a late third-stage flying bird, his speed was far inferior and he almost lost his life.
Fortunately, the Grand Elder was able to save him in time.
Otherwise, he would have to expose the remnants of the Spiritual Treasure in the battlefield to possibly save his life. Yunlai Peak Cave.
"Zhang Tieshan's chances are really not small, with this kind of cultivation progress, he has at least formed the upper reaches of the True Elixir, which is rare to see for hundreds of years for a lower grade spirit root."
Thanks to the Yuan Ying True Lord's eyes, this treatment, Lu Chang'an could see a lot of details about Zhang Tieshan.
Lu Changan surmised that within twenty years, Zhang Tieshan was expected to be promoted to the middle stage of JieDan.
The lower grade spiritual root is really a drag in Qi refining and foundation building.
Before the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
Zhang Tieshan's cultivation speed was clearly inferior to Zhao Siyao, and began to overtake in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
However, at the dan-forming level, the weight of the spiritual root's influence declined, and the quality of dan-forming was also an important factor.
If the quality of the pills is too poor, such as Fu Xuemei, even if it is an Earth Spirit Root, it will become mediocre at the JieDan stage.
Zhang Tieshan had formed the True Dan about eighteen years earlier than Lu Chang'an, and did not have the age restriction of the Evergreen Technique.
With the chance in his body and powerful fighting techniques, he might have a smoother path in the JieDan stage than he did in Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment.
......
In a blink of an eye, three years passed.
Zhang Tieshan, who has recovered from his injuries, went to the frontline battlefield two years ago.
Instead, Zhao's master and disciple returned to Golden Cloud Valley together.
On this day, Lu Chang'an, who had turned 195 years old, completed his routine cultivation and embodiment.
In three years' time, the purple-robed Daoist silhouette of the fourth generation of the Nine Seal Tablet lit up a small portion of the area.
Lu Changan speculated that a total of twenty years would light up the Yuan Ying True Lord of the fourth life.
Before the fourth level treasure talisman is developed, this will be Lu Changan's strongest card.
"Uncle Lu! We are here again."
After noon, Zhao Tan'er's clear and pleasant voice came from outside Yunlai Peak.
"Come in."
The corners of Lu Chang'an's lips fluttered slightly as he got up and walked out of the cave.
Outside the cave, there was an artificial pool.
Lu Changan, Zhao Siyao and Zhao Taner, three real people, were sitting in a pavilion by the pool.
During the war, it was rare for Zhao's master and disciples to be at the Golden Cloud Valley Mountain Gate at the same time.
Zhao Tang'er knew that Lu Chang'an was often free in the afternoons and had come over from time to time in the last two months to visit.
At the top of Yunlai Peak, the three of them sipped tea, played chess, and sang to each other from time to time.
When Lu Changan was lucky, he could hear Zhao Siyao playing the qin, Zhao Tan'er dancing, and the two real women singing and dancing to the soundtrack.
As a False Pill cultivator with a lifespan of more than 300 years, Zhao Siyao has a hobby of playing the seven-stringed zither in her spare time.
Over the past few decades, Zhao Siyao's zither skills have become more and more ethereal and quiet.
Every time he listened to the sound of Zhao Si Yao's zither, Lu Chang An could faintly feel her heart.
There is not much joy, nor is there much regret or sadness.
Every time she played in front of Lu Changan, the sound of the zither was filled with a hint of spirituality and lightness, or a kind of calm and warmth of high mountains and flowing water.
Lu Chang'an likes this kind of leisure.
Zhao Siyao's dignified and decent, tacit understanding, Zhao Taner's playful and lighthearted, occasionally fooling around.
With Zhao's master and disciple, Lu Chang'an was carefree, and at certain times, there was a feeling of a family of three.
The eyes of the two touched, there might be a heartfelt smile, but there was no real ambiguity between a man and a woman.
There is no need to break that boundary, Lu Chang'an and Zhao Siyao get along with each other, naturally comfortable, tacit understanding.
Even though Zhao Siyao is already thirty-four or thirty-five years old, she is no longer the redhead she was back then.
She doesn't have to be like Mu Xiu Yun back then, sad and painful, and ultimately pale face not dare to face the youthful man.
Not to step out of that step, is the most perfect relationship.
Lu Chang'an had many concubines in his previous life, and he understood that life is only as good as the first time you see it.
If he and Zhao Siyao had broken that boundary, it might not have been as harmonious and pleasant as the current relationship.
"Uncle Lu, are you listening carefully?"
Zhao Tan'er wrinkled her nose and gently knocked the tea cup.
"This is what Tang'er learned from defeating a True Dan demonic cultivator in the battlefield, you have no experience in fighting at the same level, you must comprehend it carefully."
"Already listened to a few times, you Lu uncle realized almost."
Lu Changan and Zhao Siyao looked at each other and smiled. After all these years of training, Zhao Tan'er had been injured and killed on the battlefield, and her fighting ability was already not bad.
Perhaps it was because of her heart of gold, Zhao Tan'er had a good understanding and grew up very quickly.
As for what she said about defeating a True Dan Demon Cultivator.
At that time, it was the other party who was gullible and was tricked by her, together with the quasi-third stage puppet, and escaped with serious injuries.
"Tan'er, when you can defeat Uncle Lu head on, only then will you be qualified to instruct him."
Zhao Siyao had a better understanding of Lu Chang'an and knew that his true strength was by no means as simple as it appeared.
"Hi! Tired Tan Er, can't even beat that turtle shell."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tan'er's face collapsed.
Whenever she was full of confidence and her divine secret techniques had improved, she looked for Lu Chang'an to spar, but she could not help the latter.
If this continues, she will not be able to stand up to him.
After Zhao Tan'er's publicity, Turtle Master's name has been certified in Golden Cloud Valley.
Lu Chang had never refused to spar in order to sharpen her.
"Chang An, I recently heard that you are wanted by the black market with a bounty."
Zhao Siyao asked with concern.
Lu Chang'an said indifferently, "The thunder is loud but the rain is small, as long as I don't leave the Golden Cloud Valley easily, what can the Xie Clan of the Chen Kingdom do to me."
Originally, Chen Xie's bounty in his own country was ineffective, so he stepped up his efforts, and was wanted in the black market of the Immortal Cultivation World in various countries.
Zhao Siyao's attention was pulled by the battlefield, belonging to the delayed news.
"Uncle Lu, I've heard that Uncle Erqing is dying, his life expectancy is almost at an end. Tan'er wants to visit his old man."
Zhao Tan'er proposed.
"Li Congren's letter mentioned that Li Erqing did not allow his descendants to compete for the Second Order Life Extension Pill, to avoid expending financial resources and setting up enemies."
Lu Chang'an sighed.
In the twenty years since he returned to Liang, he seldom went out and only went to Fei Yue Lake twice.
Instead, the gray-haired Li Erqing visited him a few times in Golden Cloud Valley.
In the past few years, Li Erqing's health has gotten worse and he hasn't come back again.
Thinking about this, Lu Changan calculated with his fingers.
"Uncle Lu, you know the art of divination?"
Zhao Taner's eyes turned, seemingly interested.
A few breaths later.
Lu Changan finished his projection and said in a deep voice:
"Li Erqing, who has roughly one year of longevity left, is now bedridden."
