Chapter 32: Fortunate to be in the Right Place

If not for Lu Chang'an's strong divine sense and sharp senses, he almost missed the hand on the spirit stone.

These days, he was cautious enough to think that he hadn't revealed anything.

Lu Changan's face was cloudy, pondering over and over again, analyzing and searching for the cause.

He has been through two lifetimes of Immortal Cultivation, and his knowledge and understanding is not comparable to that of ordinary cultivators.

He soon came up with a preliminary conclusion.

The first is that he was simply unlucky and was targeted by the robber cultivators in the market as a good fat sheep.

The second is that his disguise could not be perfect, and in the middle of the action, he was detected by someone who was interested.

The above two are mainly due to luck.

In addition, there is a third case, which is not a factor of luck.

Lu Chang'an looked towards his storage bag.

In his previous life, he knew that certain spirit beasts with a keen sense of smell could detect treasures or vintage herbs in their storage bags.

He once knew a strange person who could tell how many spirit stones were in your storage bag just by getting close.

The world of Immortal Cultivation is full of strange and mysterious arts and treasures.

Don't ever take it lightly and think it's a sure thing.

"The storage bag in the Immortal Cultivation World is not a true space prop that can form its own space."

Lu Chang'an sighed lightly.

The storage bags used by ordinary cultivators are made through low-ranked spatial materials, combined with special forbidden refining.

In theory, it is equivalent to compressing the volume of several water tanks to the size of a small cloth bag.

It also has to be paired with a weight reduction restriction, otherwise a person walking on the ground, a foot a pit.

The protection of the storage bag mainly relies on the forbidden system and the strong material, which can't prevent some clever probing.

"That's just it, the profit from this sale is enough to last for years."

Lu Chang'an wasn't going to make a move.

Inside the cave.

He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and his consciousness communicated with the handsome man of the first life in the Nine Seal Tablet.

In these few years, the branding pattern of the first life was once again illuminated under the nourishment of his soul.

The higher the realm, the faster the speed of illumination.

However, the white-bearded old man who was at the peak of JieDan in his second life had only lit up a single strand of hair.

Perhaps the soul base of the JieDan stage is too strong.

The progress of lighting up was as slow as a snail.

If one can illuminate the branding pattern of the second life.

Last time when he faced the evil cultivator Liang Shaotian, Lu Chang'an wouldn't have had to put on airs and graces and would have had every chance to severely injure or even exterminate him.

Lu Changan speculated that after he built his foundation, he would be able to speed up the illumination of his second life.

"No one is watching."

With the soul imprint of his second life added, Lu Changan's Divine Sense could be increased to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

At the Foundation Establishment Stage, one's Divine Sense can be externally released.

In the past two days, Lu Changan checked the situation around the cave from time to time and didn't find any suspicious people.

"The other party realized that they had spooked the snakes and chose to give up, or lurked for the time being?"

Lu Chang'an stopped going out.

A few days ago, the first-order sandstone required for the Cloud Sand Body Refining Technique was bought in large quantities in pieces and batches, costing a few hundred spirit stones.

This amount is not exaggerated, but it is not small either, and it may also attract the attention of those who are interested in the industry.

Lu Changan heard that there are black market connections in the marketplace, which is more suitable for selling stolen goods.

"Since it's a black market, it's a place where you can't see the light of day, and the risk is bound to be greater than the workshop market."

Lu Changan shook his head.

Without absolute certainty of strength, he would not even touch this black market.

......

A few days later.

Finally arriving at the appointed time, Lu Changan left his cave and went directly to the Hundred Refinement Workshop.

"Top grade magic weapon Iron Luo Umbrella, quality as before."

Gu Lai Refiner handed Lu Changan the refreshed magic weapon Iron Umbrella.

"Two hundred spirit stones, money and goods paid."

Lu Chang'an inspected it, the magic weapon was well repaired, barely a trace could be seen.

"By the way, Master Gu. If the materials are available, can you build an identical Iron Luo Umbrella in the future." Before leaving, Lu Chang'an asked a question.

The Iron Luo Umbrella is a top-grade magic weapon that can switch forms, can attack and defend, and has a hidden activated umbrella needle, which is quite to Lu Chang'an's liking.

"Can! The Iron Luo Umbrella is an imitation of the magic treasure 'Thousand Opportunities Umbrella', and it can be imitated up to the highest grade magic weapon. However, with my current skill, I can only create top-grade magic weapons."

"Furthermore, recreating one is worth a lot, at least seven to eight hundred spirit stones."

Gu Lai narrowed his eyes at him.

Lu Changan's disguise and disguise could not be hidden from his eyes.

"It's better to forget about it then."

Lu Chang'an seemed to think that the price was too exaggerated, and simply excused himself and left.

Although his divine sense was strong, his mana cultivation was not enough to truly support a top-grade magic weapon.

For now, a mid-grade magic weapon was most suitable for him. Combined with his strong divine sense, he can control two of them in a short period of time, and is comparable to the late stage of qi refining.

......

After taking the magic weapon.

Lu Changan didn't stop staying for a moment and quickly left the Five Peaks Marketplace.

He had just flown out of the marketplace for some distance.

Lu Chang'an frowned, feeling that there was a tail behind him, a sense of prying if nothing else.

He quickly landed in a forest.

Closing his eyes and concentrating, with the soul increase of the Nine Seal Tablet's first life, his divine sense quickly expanded outward.

In this state of divine sense increase, one must focus their consciousness and communicate with the Nine Seals Tablet.

It can't be used in normal times or in battle.

Unless you allow the First Life to descend into your body and consume an opportunity.

"Surprisingly, it's him......"

Lu Chang'an revealed an unexpected color, his divine sense probed an old man with a flowery beard, eighth level of Qi Refining cultivation, was taking out a black mask to wear on his face.

This person is the shopkeeper of "Spirit Medicine Pavilion" in the market.

Lu Changan disguised several identities and went to the other party's store to trade a few times.

"Kid, don't blame me for doing it."

"To blame on you three times to my store to hang around, really tempting, I can not help it......"

The Spirit Medicine Pavilion's shopkeeper pinched his finger with one hand, and above one palm, there floated a small fat insect with spread wings, staring at the direction Lu Changan was hiding.

This insect can sense the vintage of precious herbs in a cultivator's storage bag.

"Hmph!"

A muffled thunderous voice exploded in his ears.

The Spirit Pill Pavilion's head cabinet's face turned pale and his heart trembled.

In the next moment, the small flying insect above his palm gave a mournful cry, bleeding and falling, its belly bulging.

It was instantly shocked to death.

"Not good, it's a Foundation Establishment!"

The Spirit Medicine Pavilion's shopkeeper was scared out of his wits, casting the Blood Burning Secret Technique and slapping two Acceleration Talismans, fleeing to the marketplace at a speed far exceeding that of the ninth level of qi cultivation.

Until he ran back to the market.

He was covered in cold sweat and his heart palpitated.

"Too insidious! The hallowed Foundation Establishment Stage is disguised as a weak Qi Refining Stage, fortunately, I reacted quickly."

After casting the secret technique, the Spirit Pill Pavilion's head shopkeeper was almost deflated. With a pale face, he sat on his butt on the ground.

......

"How fast!"

In the woods, Lu Chang'an was stunned, looking at the septuagenarian's robust, dusty and furious figure.

The shopkeeper of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion in the Market Place is considered a local snake, with a background of his own and a cultivation of the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Lu Chang'an only used his divine sense to warn, containing a sound wave to shock and kill the spirit insect that could sense herbs.

The fact that Lu Chang'an was only using his divine sense to warn him, and the sound wave he contained shocked the insect that could sense the medicinal herbs.

But if you don't get it, it might lead to trouble. Who knows if the other party has any helpers or powerful backstage.

There is a Foundation Stage in the Wufeng Mountain Market.

"Five Peaks Market, Spirit Medicine Pavilion?"

Lu Chang'an silently memorized it and quickly left the Five Peaks Mountain Market.

......

One month later.

Lu Chang'an returned to Golden Cloud Valley and asked the gatekeeper disciple to inform him.

Not long after, the cool and immortal-like Zhao Siyao flew out.

"I'm glad to honor you."

Lu Changan didn't enter the mountain gate and took out a long box in a hidden corner and handed it to Zhao Siyao.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this time, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Zhao Siyao received the long box, opened it and took a quick look at it, her clear face with picturesque eyebrows revealed a touch of delight.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, are there any larger scale markets in our neighborhood?" Lu Changan inquired.

In his experience, the larger the scale of that kind of market, the safer it is to bid on high-value items.

"The size of the Five Peaks Marketplace is not small." Zhao Siyao mused, "The closest marketplace that is bigger than this is the 'Yellow Dragon Immortal City'. It has the 'Black Mist Mountain Range' at its back, and there are many loose cultivators there, so if one has enough financial resources, one can even buy Foundation Establishment Pills."

"Yellow Dragon Immortal City? Foundation Building Pills?"

Lu Changan had also heard mention of Yellow Dragon Immortal City in the Mu Clan, which was a bit farther away.

His heart stirred, back then, when Mu Renlong built his foundation, he was afraid that he had gone to Yellow Dragon Immortal City.

"Can Fellow Daoist Lu make top-grade talismans now?"

Before parting, Zhao Siyao asked.

"Rather barely, the success rate is very low. Every time you get lucky enough to refine one, spreading out the cost will result in a serious loss."

Lu Chang'an replied.

At this time, if he became a first rank upper grade talisman master, his talisman talent would be extremely high.

Lu Chang'an didn't want to be targeted by a big power and become a tool person for drawing talismans. Once he got involved in some vortex, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

......

A month later, Lu Chang'an returned to Hengshui Province.

He went to the Royal Marquis' residence.

Lu Chang'an was ready to leave a message and return to Fei Yue Lake first without waiting for Li Er Dog.

Li Ergou will be working as a bodyguard in the capital for at least a few more months.

Lin Yi happens to be at his residence and personally entertains him and offers to buy a new batch of talismans with higher quality requirements than before.

"Brother Chang'an, from now on, we'll contact each other, not in the Royal Marquis Mansion."

Lin Yi revealed a mysterious smile.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the stronghold of the Hidden Immortal Pavilion and show you a surprise!"
