Chapter 292: Scorpion Desolate City
Chapter 292 - Scorpion Desolate City
Lu Chang'an really didn't make a move, he just transmitted a voice to remind.
"Ah...... using the wrong antidote?"
The thickly built Miao Jing, her face reddened, realized that she had broken something.
Previously, Jiang Ruotong had been hit by a severe poison, she was weak and unconscious, and it was she who helped take the medicine.
In the desert, most of the poisonings are strong poisons, and the Red Wind Antidote Pill is more of a panacea, so she used it subconsciously.
"Elder, what medicine should I use now?"
Miao Jing opened her storage bag and transmitted her voice to inquire.
"Well, bleed her a bit, take the Lotus Clearing Dan in your storage bag, and the Beneficial Yang Qi and Blood Dan."
Lu Chang'an deliberated a little and gave a plan.
After all, with the experience and insights of a YuanYing elder monster, coupled with the fact that he himself has studied the art of medicine, an ordinary third-ranked famous doctor can't compare to him.
"Yes, thank you senior......"
Miao Jing hurriedly thanked him and followed Lu Chang'an's method.
After transmitting the instructions.
Lu Chang'an's small Sand Beast Vehicle, he left this place of wrongdoing.
A hundred breaths later.
In the desert at the back, a True Dan level of mana surged, accompanied by the sound of a jingoistic zither.
"Lu Mou has a word of honor, if I say I won't make a move, I won't make a move......"
Lu Chang'an inside the sand beast carriage, his demeanor leisurely, drinking chilled fruit wine.
The Xuan Shui Turtle in the Spiritual Pet Bag casts ice and water spells to maintain a cool and comfortable environment in the carriage.
The Ground Rock Rat continues to explore in front of the sand layer.
Traveling a few dozen miles.
The Xuan Yin Pavilion's medium-sized Sand Beast Vehicle in the rear quickly chased after it.
"Xuan Yin Pavilion Jiang Ruotong, thank you for your assistance just now."
A clear and pleasant voice came out.
In the medium-sized sand beast car, a slender, elegant white dress female cultivator, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, flew out.
Jiang Ruotong's face was as pale as snow, her complexion was not good, and she had not yet recovered from her poisonous wounds, so she came over at the first opportunity to say thank you.
Not long ago, she recovered a few percent of her true dan magic power, and after sacrificing her magic treasure, she scared off the sand bandits.
"Fairy Jiang don't misunderstand, Mister Xu didn't put up a fight."
Lu Chang'an responded indifferently.
His previous behavior was nothing more than throwing in the towel.
He didn't intend to use his identity as "Liu Qingyan" to get close to the Xuan Yin Pavilion.
For one thing, he didn't practice the Sound Law Technique, so he wasn't familiar with the connections in the Xuan Yin Pavilion, so it wasn't easy for him to disguise himself.
Secondly, the Xuan Yin Pavilion is not an ideal candidate in the Feng Yuan Kingdom.
It's not a matter of strength.
The Xuan Yin Pavilion is full of female cultivators, the beauty of the current, the interests of the music, will inevitably attract covetousness and all sorts of right and wrong.
"Although you didn't do anything, you saved our lives with your golden words. At least let the little girl know a name, so that in the future to return the Taoist friend."
Jiang Ruotong flew to the front of the small sand beast vehicle, and with elegant demeanor, she obeisanced. "My name is Xu Xuan, a nobody."
Lu Chang'an mused and reported his name from his previous life.
In the unfamiliar country of Feng Yuan, the favor of the True Dan Elder of the Xuan Yin Pavilion might come in handy in the future.
"So it's Mr. Xu, can you move to the Xuan Yin Pavilion's Sand Beast Cart. A few sisters, willing to offer the sound law clumsy skills, please Mr. Xu appreciation."
Jiang Ruotong's voice was gentle and inviting.
"No need! Fairy Jiang should still eradicate her poisonous wounds as soon as possible and restore her full magical power."
Lu Chang'an responded.
"Mr. Xu is noble and pure, I admire you."
Jiang Ruotong's eyes flowed, her heart was surprised.
The male cultivators of the Xuan Yin Pavilion are in love with the female cultivators of the Xuan Yin Pavilion, and even if they can't get them, they still want to hear the subtle sounds and melodies, which will help them break through the barrier of the heart.
As the youngest female elder of the Xuan Yin Pavilion, she personally invited Mr. Xu to resist the temptation of beauty and profit, and was not moved.
If you are a normal male cultivator, it is rare for you not to be able to take advantage of a favor in return.
This mysterious cultivator, who has a high moral character, inevitably makes Jiang Ruotong curious.
......
A few days later.
Lu Chang'an realized that the Xuan Yin Pavilion's medium-sized Sand Beast Carriage had been accompanying him on his path.
At first, Lu Chang'an thought that the Xuan Yin Pavilion was doing it on purpose and had some kind of intention against him.
After all, he had impeccable looks, body, and wealth, and when he went out, he had to protect himself, and he couldn't take female cultivators lightly.
Later, after negotiating, Lu Chang'an learned that Xuan Yin Pavilion was on the same route as himself.
Both sides will go to the nearest Scorpion City to purchase supplies before going to their final destination.
After Jiang Ruotong had gotten rid of her poisonous wounds, she extended the invitation again.
This time, Lu Chang'an agreed.
Considering that the Xuan Yin Pavilion female cultivators were not good at fighting, these few female cultivators combined were no match for the little mouse.
Lu Chang'an was able to understand the situation of the Wind Elemental Kingdom with them, in order to prepare for the future.
The fire master once came to the wind yuan country, or two hundred years ago, the country more detailed situation, but also need to explore their own.
The Xuan Yin Pavilion's medium-sized sand beast car is much more spacious than Lu Chang'an's, and the carpet inside is simply decorated.
It was about fifteen square feet, so it would not be crowded if Lu Chang'an and five female cultivators were to sit down at the same time.
However, it was a bit cramped, with only one or two feet of distance between them.
Lu Chang'an could smell the fragrance of different female cultivators, even though most of them were perfumes, they were all natural and noble spices, refreshing people.
Except for Miao Jing, who had a false dan cultivation level, Jiang Ruotong and the other four women were all the popular kind of classical slender beauties, with white skin, long hair, and fluttering fairy dresses.
Jiang Ruotong mainly talked with Lu Chang'an and solved puzzles.
The other four women played the zither and played music, elegant and ethereal sound, as if to make the tight space of the car, in the mountains and rivers, the birds and flowers.
In the hot desert, there is a beautiful companion, cultivate sentiment, Lu Changan is also comfortable and enjoy such a beautiful.
His pursuit of the Great Dao was nothing but immortality and true freedom.
"A few days ago, Mr. Xu's three words allowed my daughter to quickly quell the poison. Dare I ask Mr. Xu, is he a dan master pharmacist?"
Jiang Ruotong cut the fruits and melons and served Lu Changan a cup of herbal tea.
The "Mr. Xu" in front of me is about thirty or forty years old, dressed in a green shirt, handsome and elegant, with an extraordinary manner of speaking.
Jiang Ruotong believes that the other party is probably hiding his cultivation.
The other party is a hermit who can't cross the Flying Sand Graben on his own, but he can't do it with a light heart and a relaxed attitude.
"That's right, Mister Xu is a dan master."
Lu Changan is elegant and easy-going, sipping a mouthful of the third-order spirit tea made by Fairy Jiang herself.
As for the origin of Xu Xuan's identity, Lu Changan claimed that he came from the vast Beacon Kingdom and was previously a reclusive monk.
Due to the invasion of the Devil's Way, he was afraid of being forcibly recruited to go to the front line, so he came to Feng Yuan Country to take refuge.
In recent years, not a few cultivators had fled from the Weidao Alliance and migrated to the Wind Elemental Kingdom. Jiang Ruotong wasn't surprised by this.
She mentioned the topic related to the Beacon Country, a simple test.
As a result, this elegant Mr. Xu was very knowledgeable, quoting from the classics, and his familiarity with the Beacon Kingdom was definitely not a lie.
The fourth generation of the Fire Lord had launched an invasion of the Beacon Country, so he naturally knew the country well enough.
"Mr. Xu, is he a Third Order Dan Master?"
Miao Jing on the side couldn't help but speak up, with a look of expectation.
Since Lu Changan came in, she was no longer naked and changed into a long skirt, her burly body feeling constricted.
"Pretty much."
Lu Chang'an nodded and did not deny it.
He is now a genuine third-ranked dan master, and he has never displayed such skills in Liang.
After receiving the affirmation, Jiang Ruotong and the others' eyes brightened up, and their gazes changed as they looked at Lu Chang'an.
It turns out that Feng Yuan is poor in materials and has few herbs and medicinal materials, resulting in a shortage of high-grade alchemists.
Feng Yuan has a lot of ore resources, there is no shortage of weapon makers, and even puppet makers have some.
Only high grade alchemists are few and far between, and their status is higher than that of the Weidao Alliance.
"My daughter has the audacity to invite Mr. Xu to become a guest elder of the Xuan Yin Pavilion."
Jiang Ruotong knew that there was not much hope, but she still tried her best.
The Xuan Yin Pavilion was attacked by the mountain gate and suffered heavy losses, only some of the elite cultivators migrated to the Feng Yuan Country, so it could be said that the talents were withering away.
The clan's former third-ranked alchemists have completely lost their generation.
The clan's former third-ranked alchemists have completely lost their generation. With the depletion of talents, coupled with the harsh environment of the Feng Yuan Kingdom, it is not easy to cultivate that level of alchemists.
Without a third-ranked alchemist, Xuan Yin Pavilion is unable to continue to produce blood and give birth to pandan-bearing cultivators.
Jiang Ruotong was the only True Dan cultivator born after Xuan Yin Pavilion moved to Feng Yuan Country, consuming the previous clan's reserves.
"Mister Xu heard that the rules of the Xuan Yin Pavilion do not admit male cultivators?"
Lu Changan's face looked odd.
To be invited by the purely female Xuan Yin Pavilion and be granted the status of Elder, this is something that many male cultivators wouldn't even dare to dream of.
"That was once the rule in the Liang cultivation world......."
Jiang Ruotong face with bitter, recounting the reasons.
Many years ago, the Xuan Yin Pavilion had to break the rules in order to integrate itself into the Feng Yuan country and avoid being coveted by various forces.
For those male cultivators who have outstanding skills or who can help Xuan Yin Pavilion to develop peacefully, they are allowed to join as guest ministers.
In order to bind these top talents, the Xuan Yin Pavilion even betrothed its talented female disciples to them.
Of course, this is only an exception.
The Xuan Yin Pavilion won't even take an ordinary male cultivator even if he has outstanding talent.
"If Mr. Xu agrees, Ruotong can make the decision: several hundred female cultivators up and down the Xuan Yin Pavilion, in addition to the Pavilion Master, the other female cultivators can be selected by Mr. Xu to be the Dao Couple's wife and concubine."
Jiang Ruotong's demeanor was upright, her tone earnest, not like a joke.
Lu Changan secretly staggered, once in the Liang country high above the Xuan Yin Pavilion female cultivators, one by one, ice clear and pure, sought after, to other forces of male cultivators love to ignore.
Now, in order to draw him in as a third-order dan master, he puts his posture so low and opens his door.
Just like the clubs on earth, you can pick and choose.
A fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken, this is the situation.
Hearing Jiang Ruotong's "picking a couple", the other four female cultivators blushed slightly.
They blushed and lowered their heads, looking at the elegant Mr. Xu, their eyes bright and glowing.
Including the big waisted Miao Jing, slightly shy, the rest of the eyes sneak a look at Mr. Xu, the heart has been allowed.
"Mr. Xu is new to Feng Yuan Country, he cannot make a decision easily."
Lu Changan politely refused.
Jiang Ruotong sighed quietly and didn't ask for more, but just let Lu Chang'an think about it later.
Miao Jing's eyes showed her disappointment.
"By the way, Xuan Yin Pavilion's current pavilion master, which one is it......."
Lu Changan thought of the information in the intelligence.
Jiang Ruotong replied, "The pavilion master is my daughter's senior uncle, Nei Yue Zhenzhen. Mister Xu might have heard of her name." "So it's Fairy Nei Yue, Mr. Xu had heard of her beautiful name back in the Beacon Kingdom."
Lu Changan stood in awe.
More than a hundred years ago, when the Green Underworld Mysterious Realm was opened, Lu Changan had a glimpse of the "Fairy Nei Yue" who was leading the team.
At that time, Fairy Niyue was recognized as the most beautiful woman in Liang's cultivation world.
Now, this Fairy Nei Yue has become the new generation of the Xuan Yin Pavilion's leader.
......
Six days later.
The harsh wind and sand on the road began to gradually diminish.
The small Sand Beast Vehicle that Lu Chang'an rode in occasionally passed by oases, hills, and pools of water where aura was scarce.
Cultivators from the Wind Elemental Kingdom appeared from time to time.
Most of the cultivators of the Feng Yuan Kingdom have big bodies and brownish-yellow skin.
Among them, the proportion of body refining cultivators is much higher than that of the Wei Dao Alliance.
Lu Chang'an realized that at least 40% of the cultivators either practiced Body Refining on the side or were purely Body Cultivators.
This had to do with the harsh environment of the Wind Elemental Kingdom, and the country's resources suitable for body refining were relatively abundant.
At this time, Lu Chang'an had almost arrived near the border of the Feng Yuan Country.
The closer and deeper he got to the Wind Elemental Kingdom, the more stable the climate in the Gobi became, and it was even suitable for mortals to live in.
Since ancient times, the climate in the center of the Flying Sand Desert, which is also known as the Feng Yuan Kingdom, has been relatively stable and livable.
The snowy mountain sanctuaries and the many indigenous tribes that have opened up desert cities, oases, and spiritual lands have slowly improved this desert over the course of ten thousand years.
Inside the sand beast carriage, Lu Changan digested the useful information he received from Jiang Ruotong.
In the Wind Elemental Kingdom, apart from the large gathering places like the Eight Deserted Cities, there were also large and small oases of spiritual land.
The Eight Deserted Cities, belonging to the forces of the native tribes of the Wind Elemental Kingdom, enshrined the Ice and Snow Sacred Mountain.
These desert cities occupy medium to large spiritual veins and fertile land, and they are very exclusive to cultivators from the outside world.
Cultivators from outside the desert are called foreign cultivators and foreign cultivators.
In the eight desert cities, foreign cultivators are not treated fairly, and being oppressed is not a big deal.
It is not uncommon for foreign cultivators to be killed and robbed of their treasures by indigenous tribesmen in the desert cities and their neighboring spheres of influence.
The foreign cultivators who come and go for trade have to pay the spirit stone in Desolate City and apply for the temporary "residence order".
This kind of order is only valid for one year, and when it expires, you have to re-examine and re-apply.
The rules of Desolate City protect the foreign cultivators who have a residence order in the city.
However, this is only a protection in principle, but at most, it is a protection from being beaten and killed.
In the surrounding corners of Desolate City, occasionally one or two foreign cultivators die, but most of them are not dealt with.
Fortunately, the Deserted City represented by the eight tribes is not the only power in the Wind Elemental Kingdom.
For tens of thousands of years, the southeastern part of the country has been home to a large number of foreign cultivators called the "Foreign Cultivators Alliance. These forces initially consisted of a few clans, but later joined by many Immortal Cultivation clans and chambers of commerce, reclaimed oases of various sizes, and established Immortal Cities.
Only a portion of the cultivators of the Outer Sect Alliance came from the several countries of the Weidao Alliance.
There are also a lot of cultivators from the east side of Liang, on the other side of the Poisonous Gas Swamp.
That area is the territory of the Five Poisons Sect and the Thousand Mechanisms Sect, which are also in constant strife.
Among the forces of the Outer Sect Alliance, there are even clans established by deserters and traitors of the Five Poisons Sect and the Thousand Mechanisms Sect.
There, it is easier to buy puppets and highly poisonous items.
The tribes of the eight barren cities are naturally unhappy with the foreign sect alliance that is lying on their side, and there are inevitable frictions and fights between the two sides.
There were even small-scale cultivation wars between the two sides.
In the end, the two sides negotiated a truce and exchanged trade, coexisting in the neighborhood of Feng Yuan.
There were two reasons for this outcome:
Firstly, the tribes of the eight great desert cities have feuds with each other and have constant internal conflicts, making it difficult for them to unite as one.
Secondly, the Heavenly Masters of the Snowy Mountain Sacred Land do not shelter the desert areas outside the eight desert cities, and seldom step out of the Snowy Mountain to go beyond the world.
Moreover, the Outer Sect Alliance also has YuanYing level backers, it's just that this land has not cultivated a fourth rank spirit vein so far, and there is no YuanYing True Lord resident. "Transition in the Scorpion Desert City for two years first, familiarize yourself with the local environment and replace resources......"
"Then go to the sphere of influence of the Outer Sect Alliance, where the Immortal Cultivation Trade is more developed, which is conducive to collecting Life Extension Pills and impacting the higher puppet realms......"
Lu Changan formulated a rough plan in his mind.
In the fourth life of Lord Li Huo, he arranged for some descendants in a medium to large oasis on the side of the Outer Sect Alliance.
That area is relatively livable, the grass and trees are relatively rich in aura, and it doesn't attract attention, so it is suitable for low-profile development.
Of course, that was only one of the places Lu Chang'an was considering going.
......
Half a day later.
Lu Chang'an left the cramped Sand Beast Cart and drove a recluse through the sky.
Several female cultivators from the Xuan Yin Pavilion, riding on an attic magic treasure, flew in the void.
Because they were all going to the Scorpion Desert City, Lu Changan was invited to enter the Xuan Yin Pavilion's attic magic treasure.
"Mr. Xu, it's not easy for an external cultivator to apply for an entry order in the Desolate City, and you may be subjected to difficulties. Having the Xuan Yin Pavilion to help introduce you can save you some trouble."
Jiang Ruotong said with a smile.
Without a residence order, one would be like a black household around Desolate City, and it would be difficult to move around.
The appearance, skin color, and magical power of the "foreign cultivators" are very different from that of the tribal cultivators in Desolate City, so it is very easy to recognize them.
"Then I'll be grateful to Fairy Jiang."
Lu Chang'an arched his hand and thanked him.
"Mr. Xu don't need to be polite."
Jiang Ruotong's eyebrows were like a painting and she smiled wryly.
Even if Lu Changan doesn't join the Xuan Yin Pavilion, maintaining a good relationship will allow him to ask for help in refining pills in the future.
Before sunset.
The Pavilion's magic treasure enters a hilly plateau with oases, hills, and water.
A huge dark brown ancient city comes into Lu Chang'an's vision.
This ancient city is even larger than the Yellow Dragon Immortal City, and its walls and towers are characterized by aggressive and fierce sharp corners.
At first glance, it looked like an ancient super-giant black scorpion perched on the yellow sandy Gobi.
The Xuan Yin Pavilion's pavilion magic treasure stays outside the Black Scorpion Wasteland City.
A few moments of work.
A big man in armor with a brownish-yellow complexion, stepping on a flatboat-sized black armor with a warm face, came before Jiang Ruotong.
"Jiang fairy, finally expect your return, futa miss fairy's heavenly voice......"
The armor-clad man spoke the universal language of the Immortal Cultivation World, but it was a bit lame, with localized pronunciation.
Lu Chang'an's divine sense swept and realized that this person was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining cultivation, but his Body Refining was cultivated to the quasi-third stage.
This kind of situation was rarely seen in the Weidao Alliance countries.
"Mr. Xu, 'Fu Ta' is the Deputy General of the Scorpion Desolate City's City Patrol."
Jiang Ruotong introduced the two of them.
Seeing the elegant man in a green shirt with a white complexion, the Vice General of the City Patrol, Fu Ta, a hint of disgust instinctively flared up in the bottom of his eyes.
A man with fair skin and elegant temperament is synonymous with bloodlessness and weakness in the barren city tribes.
