Chapter 300 - Oasis Dive
Chapter 300 - Oasis Dive Cultivation
One year later, Lu Chang'an, who had returned to the Oasis, spent his tenth year in the Wind Elemental Kingdom.
He also reached the age of 222.
In these ten years, Lu Chang'an had mainly hibernated and practiced latent cultivation, and even though he possessed conventional means that were enough to run rampant across the Oasis, he had always stayed behind the scenes.
Body Refinement has been cultivated to the middle of the third stage.
Next, he plans to cultivate until he reaches the middle stage of JieDan, at which time he will make further plans, including the inheritance of a highly intelligent puppet.
If he could refine a Third Order Upper Grade Alien Spirit Puppet and infuse it with the Shadow of his Second Life Soul, Lu Changan would be able to avenge Zhao Siyao's death without risk.
Even remotely check and balance the Peacock Holy Maiden and add to the latter's problems.
Landscape Manor, inside the secret room.
Lu Chang'an used Evergreen magic power to contain more than sixty precious talismans.
These talismans are all made of third-order materials. Except for a few that have been refined in recent years, most of them have been raised to the middle grade of the third rank.
There are a total of eight top-grade treasure talismans.
Using the third grade "Tong Ghost Bamboo" that he traded with Wang Feng back then as the base material, all of them have now been cultivated into third grade treasure talismans.
The strongest two of them, which were third-ranked top-grade in the early years, are now at the peak of the third-ranked power.
The eight treasure talismans that have the most potential will be used by Lu Changan in the future to protect against YuanYing True Lords, and will be reserved for the Peacock Sacred Maiden as well.
He had a premonition that his karma with the Peacock Holy Maiden would have to come to an end sooner or later.
The Peacock Holy Maiden has a YuanYing card, Lu Chang'an has to prepare more.
"The talisman art in this life is considered to have fully caught up with the previous life."
Lu Changan's face was pleased as he put away the many precious talismans.
In terms of power, the two strongest talismans have already surpassed the previous life.
In his second life, he was only able to become a third-order top-grade talisman master, and he had not made many third-order top-grade talismans in his life.
On the one hand, the materials were hard to come by, requiring late third-order great demon essence blood, as well as fur in key locations.
As for spirit wood of the same rank, the growth cycle is even longer.
Another reason was that the success rate of Third Order Upper Grade Talismans was relatively low.
After completing the treasure talisman, Lu Changan took out another sealed jade box. Inside the jade box, there was a lifelike five-colored feathered wing whose breath had been processed.
It is one of the three crown feathers of the five-colored peacock.
The Peacock Saintess's Beast Control Technique is closely related to the five-colored peacock, which is her natural beast.
The loss of the origin of the sacred beast will make the Peacock Saint Maiden's path to her newborn not smooth.
This is also a major reason why she has a knot in her heart.
Lu Changan guessed that the Peacock Holy Maiden wanted to lure herself back to Liang to retrieve the decapitated five-colored feathered wing and break the knot in her heart.
Next, Lu Chang'an used his Evergreen Dharma power to nurture the peacock's feathered wing and cultivate its spirituality.
The "Record of Transforming Spirits and Otherworldly Puppets" obtained from Ada Maru contains several kinds of otherworldly spirit puppets that mimic the forms of the legendary True Spirit beasts, and its theoretical construction guesses that there is the five-colored peacock.
This was the only key material Lu Changan had collected for the Alien Spirit Puppet.
In the future, as long as he had enough skills and added some rare materials, Lu Changan would be able to start building a replica of the Five-colored Peacock Alien Spirit Puppet.
For the imitation, it was unrealistic to achieve the power and aptitude of the original, but it wasn't difficult for it to be slightly stronger than a cultivator of the same rank.
In order to be on the safe side, Lu Changan not only erased the original aura of the feather wings by means of weapon refining, but also imposed seals and trigrams to prevent projections.
Over the years, Lu Changan had vaguely sensed that the divining master invited behind the Peacock Holy Maiden should be a third-order upper-grade divining skill.
The last time the puppet doppelganger returned to Liang, he inquired about the relevant information, and that person's lifespan status could not withstand squandering.
In the case of understanding the footsteps and being prepared, even if the other party came to Feng Yuan to track down the projections, Lu Chang'an was not at all weak.
The 1,100 years of life expectancy is Lu Changan's greatest defense.
......
The next year.
On the River Source Oasis, a large-scale fight broke out between the two major chambers of commerce, with hundreds of cultivators participating in the battle.
The River Source Oasis is not like the Immortal City, the order is not so stable.
The Wanhua Chamber of Commerce, as a giant, is one of the defenders of the order inherent in the oasis.
The JieDan real person who was assassinated and seriously injured by the WanHua Chamber of Commerce back then, recuperated from his injuries.
The mysterious assassin, on the other hand, had disappeared in the past few years.
According to common sense: the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce's financial resources are tight, not so strong capital, the mysterious assassin could not be escorted all year round.
The Wanhua Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to start a firefight to take advantage of the mysterious assassin's absence, so that the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce could be wiped out in one fell swoop, and maintain its authority in the Heyuan Oasis.
However, the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce was very wrong.
The mysterious assassin appeared again in the firefight.
It is like a gangrene in the bone, the ghost is still there.
In front of the bay where the two chambers of commerce are fighting.
"Not good...... Elder Red Snake has been assassinated again!"
"Quickly go after them, don't let the assassins escape!"
The situation was chaotic for a while at the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce's cultivator position.
Poof boom!
A foul-smelling cloud of dark-colored smoke exploded, enveloping the area for miles.
A mysterious man in a gray and white robe with a basilica-colored cloak transformed into a blurry black shadow and merged into the shadows of the black fog after the strike.
"Don't...... don't chase!"
A withered old man with a shadowy face and a snake staff in his hand, gripping the sleeve arrow that ran through his chest from behind, his body shakily sat on the ground.
As a matter of fact, several nearby False Dan real people were just making a show.
The roars were thunderous, but none of them dared to really chase after them.
Red Snake is a true dan cultivator who is in his prime at the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce, and is responsible for the security of the Chamber's dart guards.
As strong as he is, the mysterious assassin succeeded twice, so for a True Pill cultivator to chase after him is no different from giving away his head.
"Not good! It's a third-order medium-grade poison."
The Red Snake real person's body was shaken, and his body's red patterned dan power flickered.
A twinge of pain came from the conjunctive region within his body, corroded by the bizarre and terrifying poison.
When his inner dan was poisoned, using his dan power to dispel the poison was like drinking hemlock to quench his thirst.
"Red Snake Elder!"
Inside the position, the high-level cultivators of the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce, their faces changed drastically.
A few breaths of work, the Red Snake real person's poisonous power attacked, and the dan power emanating from his body was smoking with black and blue poisonous smoke. "Ah ah, save me......"
Several foundation cultivators accidentally contacted the poisonous smoke, the body instantly large festering, there are two people died on the spot poison.
"Quick, dodge!"
"Elder Red Snake has become a poisonous man!"
For a while, the position of the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce became more and more chaotic.
Another True Dan female cultivator, who fought with the False Dan couple of the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce, was beaten back when faced with the joint combined attacks of The Star Moon Jedi.
With the loss of Red Snake, a true dan cultivator who specializes in fighting, and the internal chaos, the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce, which has a large number of people, has unexpectedly fallen into a disadvantage.
"Quickly withdraw, medicine...... medicine garden side......"
Red Snake real person before fainting to death, barely uttered a few words.
The Wanhua Chamber of Commerce has monopolized most of the trees and herbs in the oasis, and there are many rare and precious medicines among them.
Once we lose today, the first thing the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce will do is to protect its core resources.
Fortunately, the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce's Spirit Vein Pill Garden is located in the hinterland, and is guarded by an elderly True Pill Master all year round.
That is the oldest True Pill Master of the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce.
......
On the River Source Oasis, all the major forces were concerned about the fight between the two major chambers of commerce.
Lu Changan remotely controlled the assassin puppet to quietly touch the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce's spiritual vein in the oasis's cliff.
"Huh! The medicinal garden formation is open and there are fighting fluctuations?"
Lu Chang'an was surprised, not realizing that the True Dan bigwigs on the island reacted so quickly.
The puppet assassin succeeded in his assassination in the front foot, setting up the situation, and the medicine garden of the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce was attacked by two True Dan cultivators in a joint effort.
In addition to the two True Dan practitioners who attacked, there was also a mid True Dan practitioner hiding in the shadows.
All of this could not escape the peak JieDan senses of the puppet doppelganger's fusion second life.
The guardian of the medicinal garden was a white-haired True Dan cultivator.
After opening the formation, this person methodically commanded and defended against the joint attack of the two True Dan cultivators.
But not long after, the hidden mid True Dan cultivator quietly circled around to the other side and attacked the weak point of the formation.
Poof!
The Wanhua Chamber of Commerce's third-order formation was broken through a gap.
Wearing a monkey-face mask, that mid-tier True Dan stage broke into the medicinal garden to scavenge, isolating his divine sense.
He seemed to be very familiar with the situation and went straight to the most valuable area of the medicine garden, where hundreds of years of great medicines had been cultivated, including the third-order life-extension fruit.
"Stop!" The white-haired pharmacist who was guarding the medicinal garden shouted angrily, and offered up his magic treasure to stop the intermediate stage JieDan practitioner from killing him.
Although the white-haired pharmacist is old, the Dan power emanating from his body has reached the middle stage of the JieDan stage, but he is old and weak, and his technique is not good at fighting, so he is not much stronger than an ordinary early stage of the True Dan stage.
"So they are all old people."
The puppet split's divine sense swept through and found that of the several True Dan cultivators inside and outside the Medicine Garden, three were over four hundred years old, and the youngest was over three hundred and fifty years old.
The white-haired pharmacist tried his best to block the monkey-faced man in the middle stage of True Dan from approaching the center area.
The Wanhua Chamber of Commerce also had two False Pill real people to assist in defense, and with the help of the formation, they were able to withstand the pressure of the three True Pills.
After holding out for a tea break, the main force of the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce's cultivators withdrew and retreated back.
"Unfortunately......"
The monkey-faced man in the middle stage of the True Dan, slightly unwilling, and the other two real people in the medicinal garden plundered part of the herbs, had to retreat.
"Apothecary Lu! The Third Order Longevity Fruit is gone! There are also several third-order rare and great medicines......"
A Foundation Establishment Stage Spiritual Planter hurried over, his voice distorted and his forehead in cold sweat.
"Third-order longevity fruit? How is it possible! The old immortal clearly stopped them......"
The white-haired pharmacist's divine sense swept over, his face suddenly changed, unbelievable look.
Just now, at the expense of life-saving fights, with the help of formations, clearly protect the core area of the rare medicinal herbs.
Including the monkey-faced man in the middle stage of the True Dan, all of them failed to step beyond the minefield.
As a result, the third-order longevity fruit, including several kinds of natural treasures, or stolen.
"Traces of earth escape?"
Apothecary Lu came to the forbidden area of the medicinal garden, this place is heavily restricted, ordinary Jiedan real people, simply can not do under the eyes of several real Dan theft. After probing, he found a subtle residue of demonic energy.
Apothecary Lu mused, judging, "It should be a third-order beast that specializes in earth evasion, muddling through the water and quietly stealing the third-order longevity fruits and other treasures."
Cultivators of the same rank, even if they practiced earth evasion, could not compare to a demonic beast that was gifted with proficiency.
The same as the same level of human cultivator, the flight speed is not compared to the birds.
What's even more amazing is that the third-ranked beast actually cracked one or two prohibitions without triggering the alarm.
It is suspected to be a repeat offender.
"Demonic beasts are generally not good at forbidden systems, that third-order earth evading demonic beast, most likely under the command of the person behind the scenes, given forbidden-breaking, concealment-type talismans."
Apothecary Lu roughly came to a conclusion.
The real culprits behind the scenes, if not the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce, the mysterious assassin, is a few big forces on the oasis.
......
That night.
The news of the theft of the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce's medicine garden and the death of the Red Snake Realist by poison spread throughout the River Source Oasis.
The Uncontested Landscape Manor.
Zee!
In the pool of water, an earthy yellow halo floats, revealing the figure of a ground rock rat.
Avoiding the senses of Niu Jie's three Medicine Boys, the Ground Rock Rat came to Lu Chang'an's room and handed over the loot.
"Not bad! Third Order Longevity Fruit, Red Sun Grass, the key auxiliary medicine for the Crystal Condensation Pill......."
Lu Chang'an lightly tapped the harvest, his face flushed with joy.
The only thing he regretted was that the Third Order Longevity Fruit still lacked more than twenty years of medicinal growth.
If it had matured, it probably wouldn't have been Lu Changan's turn.
His original plan was to have the puppet assassin poison the medicine garden of the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce to create a mess and restrain the town guard, so that the ground rock rats could take advantage of the opportunity to steal the third-order longevity fruit.
It didn't occur to him that there were a few old men who also had their eyes on the medicine garden of the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce, which saved him the Puppet Crystals.
A third-order mid-grade puppet fight consumes a lot of puppet crystals.
To support this level of puppet fighting, each third-order mid-grade Puppet Crystal would require a large amount of Spirit Stones to be smelted.
In order to save puppet crystals, the Assassin's Puppet was silent on weekdays and consumed very little.
Even in a few battles, it is still when the old sixth.
Every time he strikes, he attacks from behind, and after one strike, no matter whether it is successful or not, he will directly escape and never consume it head-on.
"Well, the materials for the Third Order Life Extension Pill have basically been gathered. Moreover, the precious herbs harvested this time have also supplemented the key materials of the Crystal Condensation Pill."
Lu Chang'an was in a great mood.
When the time is ripe, I will refine the Third Stage Life Extension Pill and the Crystal Condensation Pill myself.
Although the Crystal Condensation Pill is useless to him now, as a high-grade strategic resource, it can be exchanged for the Third Order Life Extension Pill or other resources needed.
For example, more simulated puppet techniques or materials.
Lu Chang'an only had one third-order mid-grade puppet right now, not that he didn't want to make more.
It was because it would take years to gather every single material.
The upper third rank puppets, which correspond to late stage JieDan cultivators, are several times more difficult to gather materials for.
It was inconceivable that the Thousand Chance Sect was able to refine a YuanYing level puppet, consuming immeasurable wealth and rare resources.
......
Half a month later.
Lu Chang'an got the exact news that the Red Snake real person of the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce barely survived, and the conjunctive crystals were corrupted by the poison, and his cultivation dropped to the pseudo-dan.
If not for the Chamber of Commerce's third-ranked pharmacist, who rescued him in time, he would have died from the poison under normal circumstances.
This result is in line with Lu Changan's expectation.
If the assassin with the hat had made up for it, the Red Snake Realist would have died. If that was the case, then the fight would have to be frontal, and there would be a risk of exposing the identity of the puppet in full view of the public.
Lu Changan did not have a deep grudge against the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce, nor did he intend to bring about the latter's demise.
Thus, when he first let the puppet doppelganger assassinate, he only used a third-order lower-grade poison.
The ideal situation was to maintain a relative balance between the two major chambers of commerce, Wanhua and Xingyue.
The Star Moon Chamber of Commerce would be slightly weaker and would rely on the bucket hat assassin.
In the future, if Lu Chang'an had anything to do and gathered certain materials, he could instruct the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce to do it in his capacity as a member of the Green Dragon Society, the "Black Lord". Compared to the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce, which suffered heavy losses, the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce was neutralized in that battle.
The mysterious assassin's power and terror is deeply rooted in the hearts and minds of the people in the He Yuan Oasis.
Soon after, the Starry Moon Chamber of Commerce officially announced that it had turned from a loss to a profit and was on the right track to recruit more talents.
Under Lu Chang'an's support, the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce stabilized itself in the oasis, and hit the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce hard.
Due to the fear of the mysterious assassin, all the major powers are on good terms with the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce and do not dare to mess with it easily.
It could be said that Lu Chang'an had influenced the entire pattern of the Oasis with his own strength.
There are no late stage JieDan practitioners in the Oasis.
With Lu Chang'an's third stage mid-alchemy body, coupled with the puppet assassin doppelganger, the ground rock rats of the same cultivation level had no natural enemy at all.
Moreover, staying behind the scenes would pull the security full circle.
Lu Chang'an could even boldly say: whether the Heyuan Oasis is chaotic or not, I, Lao Lu, have the final say.
......
That night, the cocked hat assassin went to the Star and Moon Chamber of Commerce and had a private meeting with Tang Coronet and Tang Yue of the Star and Moon Dao Couple.
The puppet doppelganger returned to Shan Shui Manor with a payment.
Inside the secret room, Lu Chang'an opened a chest, which contained nothing but some spirit stones, materials, and a white jade stone slab.
On the stone slab, a mural of a starry sky map was engraved.
Cultivating the JieDan chapter of the Star and Moon Jedi's Heart Technique must be accompanied by observing this mural.
The Star and Moon couple has repeatedly asked the Black Lords for help, and also asked the latter to cover them, so the Chamber of Commerce's spirit stones and resources are simply not enough to pay for them.
This mural of the starry sky can be borrowed for half a month to offset part of the payment.
"Inheritance Shadow Carving!"
Lu Chang'an observed it slightly, his mind immersed in the mysterious space of the sky filled with stars, the mystery was incomparable.
Many of the great powers' Zhen Zong techniques are difficult to be carried by ordinary jade books.
Through the special inheritance of spiritual objects, in order to cultivate and understand, but also to prevent the core of the law out of the country.
After Lu Changan's enlightenment, the spirituality on the starry sky mural dimmed a few points.
Without sufficient realm and comprehending the Star Moon Jedi to the corresponding realm, it is impossible to pass on the engraved shadow.
In Lu Changan's previous life, there was a treasure that was passed down from a Yuan Ying True Lord, which caused a bloody fight.
The reason for this is that the inheritance treasure contained the insights of the YuanYing Monster's cultivation of powerful techniques and aptitudes, which were stripped away and integrated into the treasure.
Even people with mediocre qualifications and enlightenment can change their destiny against all odds if they get the inheritance treasure
The starry sky mural at the moment is not the kind of inheritance that strips away the feelings, and needs to be observed by oneself, a little bit of comprehension.
Lu Changan has the fourth life of the YuanYing eyes, relying on the second life of the power of the soul, it is not difficult to imitate a copy of it, the ordinary true Dan cultivator is difficult to do.
It was true that Lu Changan couldn't cultivate the Star and Moon Jedi in his current life. But with the Nine Seal Tablet, he has more than one life.
This kind of combining technique can be used to cross the big steps, and its subtlety is comparable to that of the Evergreen Technique, so even if you can't use it yourself, it's not wrong to have a copy of it.
Even in this life, he has a long lifespan, and in the future, he will be able to use it to train his disciples, his men.
......
After the battle between the two major chambers of commerce.
River Source Oasis restored stability and spent five years in peace.
Lu Chang'an's age, too, came to 228.
For the past five years, he has been cultivating in the Landscape Manor in a low-key manner, without any competition, and occasionally taking on a little bit of alchemy commissions.
During this period, Elder Duan came to visit and was satisfied with Lu Changan's low profile and not causing any trouble.
Duan Lao has brought two new pills children to replace him, and Niu Jie still stays in the manor, continuing to study with Lu Chang'an.
According to the original agreement, Lu Changan, in addition to taking care of the Landscape Manor, a certain amount of commissioned alchemy, every ten years to help bring three alchemy apprentices.
On this day, Yun Ling, who had cultivated to the peak of the ninth level of qi refining, came to Shan Shui Manor to play again.
Lu Chang'an had nothing to do and was sipping tea in the pavilion.
"Mr. Xu, this is the Spirit Fruit that Su'er brought for you."
Yun Ling gently bowed and placed a flower basket, on the stone table in front of Lu Chang'an. "I heard that you have recently prepared to build your foundation?"
Lu Chang'an asked.
In the past ten years of living in Landscape Manor, Yun Ling would come to visit and play with the Water Arrow Turtle almost every month, but Lu Chang'an was sometimes in seclusion and didn't meet him.
Lu Chang'an could tell that Granny Yun should have given Yun Ling a second-order face-painting elixir.
After all these years, she is still the same pure girl with starry eyes and white teeth, delicate snow skin and a slender willow waist when we first met.
"Well, Grandma said that it's best to relax your mind when you break through a great realm, so I came to the manor to play with the Great Turtle."
Yun Ling pear eddies bloomed, smile fresh and moist, her voice appeared light.
Perhaps it is because of fate, or maybe it is because she has seen a lot, now she faces Lu Changan, there is no initial constraint, everything is natural, as if she is a long-lost friend.
Wow!
The Xuan Shui Turtle surfaced and carried Yun Ling around the manor.
Sitting on the turtle's back with her hands clasped around her knees, Yun Ling glanced at Lu Chang'an who was savoring the spirit fruit.
Suddenly thinking of something, her pretty face inexplicably reddened and she couldn't help but burn.
Over the years, Yun Ling had had a dream, and more than once.
That dream was inexplicable, and in the dream, she was actually having that kind of intimate relationship with the elegant and handsome Mr. Xu.
She had never had sex before, but the images and details of her love in the dream were very clear.
What's more, in the dream, she took the initiative to ask for sex, which is different from her real character.
Whenever she thought about it, Yun Ling blushed and felt shy.
Although she and Mr. Xu had a good connection, good senses, and even some good feelings, they didn't reach the level of true adoration.
The secret of this dream is really shy.
She didn't mention it to anyone, including Granny who told her everything.
Half an hour later.
The Xuan Shui Turtle carried Yun Ling over again, ready to say goodbye.
"Mr. Xu, Su'er is ready to go back to build her foundation, you are a JieDan real person, can you teach her a thing or two."
Yun Ling came down from the turtle's back, her eyes shining brightly with expectation.
A few years ago, Lu Chang'an gifted her the broken talisman master's inheritance, which was obviously very ordinary, but it was very helpful to her.
Now, she was already a second-stage talisman master.
"So long as there is nothing else to do, Mister Xu will chime in."
Lu Chang'an raised his hand, allowing Yun Ling to take a seat beside him.
Next, he reproduced for Yun Ling the foundation building instructions he had given to Guan Qiaozhi back then.
Yun Ling listened attentively, her white and delicate face revealing the color of enlightenment from time to time.
Lu Chang'an's instructions were not better than Granny's, but they made her more aware of what was going on.
Although Yun Ling is considered to be at the top of the list of middle-grade spiritual roots, with a solid foundation and no worries about resources, she still has a certain chance of failure.
"Mr. Xu, if Su'er succeeds in building her foundation, she will be grateful."
Before leaving, Yun Ling bowed and solemnly left a sentence, then went back to build her foundation.
Bookworm scolded well, indeed hemorrhoids recur...
Previously cured with medicine, the back did not adhere to the hot water bath, the result of the hot weather, sit long, did not expect so fast recurrence. Before the hemorrhoids do not hurt, after the recurrence of the very painful, sleep all have to turn sideways, currently relieved some.
In addition, the shopkeeper did not cheat everyone monthly votes, because 9.1 children to go to school, accompanied by the children's time less, ready to resume stable update.
In addition to the book just on the shelves, the author basically did not ask for a monthly ticket, a lot of results are not as good as half of the book, the monthly ticket results are much better, the store manager has a number of heart.
