Chapter 319 The First Cultivator
Chapter 319 - The First Cultivator
A moment later, Li Congren withdrew his respectful etiquette. The actions just now seemed to be paying homage to the Mu Clan's old ancestor who was passing away.
Mu Changxiu was shocked and turned back over to take a look: Mu Bingyun had indeed broken off and passed away with a peaceful expression.
After the grief, Mu Changxiu transmitted the voice to order down, the funeral has been prepared in advance.
"Mr. Li, did Grandpa Lu come here just now?"
Mu Changxiu's tone of voice is tight, asked.
Li Congren, who was a False Pill Realist, was able to treat him with such respect, so it was by no means unusual.
Although Mu Bing Yun is considered a half elder, but it is not enough to make Li Congren put his posture so low.
The two young men of the Snow Plum Mountain Li Clan also looked at their grandfather curiously.
"Perhaps, only Aunt Bing is clear."
Li Congren shook his head, his gaze blandly looking straight at Mu Changxiu, causing the latter to feel the embarrassment of having his mind read.
In the Fei Yue Lake Mu Family, Mu Bing Yun was the last cultivator who had a deeper connection with the Evergreen Realist.
Mu Changxiu was only led by his mother when he was a teenager and met with the Evergreen Realist, and at that time, he even received a gift from the other party.
After that, there was not much socialization.
Now, the Mu family is declining and in crisis.
Mu Changxiu desperately wanted to meet the real person who had left a legendary story in the Liang Immortal Cultivation World.
Li Congren's middle-grade spiritual root is similar to his qualification, why can he form a false dan?
This is not only because of the financial resources, as well as treasure hunting rats in the early stage of the chance to bring help.
More than a hundred years ago, Lu Chang'an, who was at the foundation stage, went to Jing Country for refuge and owed Li Congren a favor.
Many years later, Changqing Zhen Zhen, who returned to Liang, deliberately stayed at Xuemei Mountain for one night, causing the rival Dongmen Family to panic and take the initiative to come and apologize, thus turning the enemy into a friend.
That night, in addition to Lu Chang'an, there was also Zhang Tianfeng, the current helmsman of the Golden Cloud Valley, who stayed at Snow Plum Mountain!
Since then, the Xuemei Mountain Li Clan has not only solved the problem, but also gained great prestige in the surrounding area, and the development of its chambers of commerce and industries has become more and more smooth.
Before Li Congren's promotion to False Dan, the Xuemeishan Chamber of Commerce had as many as ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators, counting the several envoys.
Because of this layer of shelter, coupled with the alliance with the Royal Beast Zhou family, Snow Plum Mountain's own heritage is not bad, which allows Li Congren to obtain crystal condensation pills and pills.
Mu Changxiu is not guessing, the relevant deeds of the lineage, in the "Evergreen Legend", "Xuan Turtle Travels" and other biographies, there is a relevant statement.
Especially the 'Legend of Evergreen' is highly praised: the biography believes that Lu Changan was expected to become the 'Liang's number one loose cultivator', and then he went far away from the Feng Yuan country, either to keep a low profile or to escape from his strong enemies, and took the initiative to give up such a false name.
......
Inside the cave, Mu Changxiu repeatedly asked questions, suspecting that Li Congren was hiding something.
"Junior brother Changxiu, this matter cannot be forced."
Li Congren frowned slightly and his tone increased, scaring the latter into bowing.
Mu Changxiu sighed bitterly, also know that can not be forced, just hold a fluke mentality.
He was unwilling: the friendship between Evergreen Realist and Fei Yuehu was severed from his own generation. That day, Li Congren brought his two young descendants to be his guests at the Moonheart Island's exclusive guest house compound.
"Grandfather, you hired someone to compile a biography of the Evergreen Master without his permission back then. If you let his old man know, will he be upset?"
One of the purple-skirted girls was Li Congren's favorite granddaughter, her bright black eyes showing her curiosity about the legendary figure.
It turned out that the mainstream versions of Evergreen Legend and Xuan Turtle Travels in the Immortal Cultivation World were all compiled by Li Congren's order.
"Ahem! Some of the biographies circulating in the market at that time smeared the Evergreen Realist, Grandpa I was defending his old man's image, I believe Grandpa Lu would not blame."
Li Congren coughed lightly and explained.
He did not lie, a handful of unorthodox writers and artists, actually smearing Grandpa Lu goat gall like a tortoise, roaming around.
Or they portrayed Grandpa Lu as a promiscuous man and wrote about him as a bad harem romance novel.
The biographies compiled under his leadership corrected the historical truth!
Portray Lu Chang'an as a man of the world who is indifferent to fame and fortune, who has a high ethos and is not plagued by beauty.
The so-called running away is a low-profile judgment of the situation, farsightedness, and ultimately laughs in the end.
Even if the occasional flirtation, it is all fairies were conquered by the charms of the evergreen real person, willingly, to become a passer-by in his legendary immortal cultivation life.
"More than fifty years......"
Inside the guest room, Li Congren looked up at the moon and sighed. Thinking back to the last time he met with Grandpa Lu, it was a year ago.
In the eyes of the world, the Evergreen Realist has disappeared from the Liang Immortal Cultivation World for more than fifty years.
Some say he was buried in the sea of sand, while others say he took refuge in the Feng Yuan Kingdom and will return when the war is over.
Now, one or two decades after the end of the war, there is still no sign of the return of the Evergreen Master.
Hoo!
The lights in the room suddenly went out, and a cool wind blew through the air.
Li Congren's heart was in shock and his body was cold.
After that strange wind passed, a sound transmission note appeared in his hand.
After listening to the content of the note, Li Congren's face was overjoyed.
After listening to the message, Li Congren's face was very happy.
He flew away from Moonheart Island alone and dived into the Emerald Villa by the lake.
The Emerald Villa, a place where the middle and lower class clansmen of the Mu Family practiced.
When he was a teenager, Lu Changan, Li Erqing, had hibernated here for many years.
In particular, Elder Ancestor Erqing, who had joined the family here, had given birth to a number of bloodline descendants.
In the small courtyard by the lake, there is an Evergreen real estate belonging to the youth, which is still well preserved.
Li Congren took a deep breath and dived into the former residence of the Evergreen Realist.
......
From the outside, the former residence of the Evergreen Realist was dark and silent.
When he stepped into the small courtyard, Li Congren realized that there were lights inside the house.
Creak!
The door to the study opened automatically, and in front of the desk sat a serene, jade-like, handsome man in white.
It was the familiar figure whose appearance remained unchanged in Li Congren's memory.
"Ungrateful junior Li Congren, greetings to Grandpa Lu."
Li Congren floated into the study and made a long bow.
At this time, he realized that on Grandpa Lu's back side, there was also a green-skirted female cultivator wearing a veil on her head, who brought the steeped tea to him.
Green dress female cultivator looks ordinary, elegant manners, mana breath deep, let Li Congren can not see through, I am afraid it is a true Dan female cultivator.
Lu Changan raised his hand, signaling Li Congren to take a seat, and surveyed with a smile:
"Not bad, with your qualifications, you can cultivate to false dan, worthy of being Er Qing's most valued grandson."
In fact, when Lu Chang'an came to Liang fifteen or sixteen years ago, counting on the Peacock Sacred Maiden, he discovered that Li Congren had formed a false dan.
Looking at the huge number of cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation World, the formation of a false dan by a medium grade spiritual root is not common, but it is not exaggerated either.
In the eyes of a great cultivator and a Yuan Ying True Lord, it is not worth mentioning.
Unless it is a lower-grade spiritual root that forms a YuanYing, then it can be considered a son of luck.
"Congren is stupid, failed to form a true dan, I'm ashamed of Grandpa Lu's guidance and care." Li Congren spoke earnestly, his tone more or less regretful.
Back then, in the snow plum mountain to see the true Dan cultivator's prestige, realize the false Dan and true Dan strength, status of the huge gap.
At that time, he set up a wish that if he was expected to achieve true dan in the future, he would definitely strive to achieve true dan.
Unfortunately, he did not take the last half-step.
"Hehe, Congren's achievement is already the first of Li Erqing's legitimate descendants. You are good at running the family, if there is no true dan in this generation, there may not be any in future generations."
Lu Changan had previously projected that the fortunes of the Li Clan of Snow Plum Mountain were too much better than those of Fei Yue Lake.
Even if Li Congren achieved False Dan and the family was so prosperous, the Xuemeishan lineage was still on a trend of prosperity.
Of course, the birth of a True Dan cultivator in this kind of Immortal Cultivation family is basically the ceiling, and it is very difficult to break through.
After chatting for a while, Lu Chang'an asked Li Congren about the situation of the Immortal Cultivation world in Liang.
In the meantime, the woman in the green dress also asked questions, and Li Congren answered them in detail, without asking about the former's identity.
Lu Chang'an didn't want Fairy Nei Yue to know about Xing Peng's relationship.
Li Congren operates the Chamber of Commerce, including some cross-cultivation countries, so he is better informed than the average cultivator.
Through Li Congren, Immortal Nei Yue learned about the Xuan Yin Pavilion's mountain gate in the past.
The former mountain gate was occupied by a JieDan sect that was relocated from the former Beacon Kingdom and was under the camp of the Golden Sun Sect.
The sect was powerful and superior to the Golden Cloud Valley.
If you want to get back the old mountain gate, it will be almost impossible for Immortal Nei Yue to accomplish it in her lifetime.
Lu Chang'an inquired about the Peacock Holy Maiden's recent situation in passing.
Li Congren murmured, ''The Peacock Demoness, to date, is still being held in the Golden Sun Sect. The Beast King Valley is not threatened, and is even more unwilling to take out a sincere bargaining chip. And killing this woman will not do any good to the Golden Sun Sect......."
Lu Chang'an smiled heartily at his words.
The Peacock Holy Maiden is now in a very awkward situation.
She can't go back, and she can't die.
She can't cultivate, and her cultivation will even slowly regress.
"However, the Beast King Valley's 'Ten Thousand Crane True Lord' privately sent someone to intercede, perhaps giving the Golden Sun Sect the promise of favors, so that the Peacock Demoness can be in the Golden Sun Sect's mountain gates in a small range of activities, reduced to a servant girl, do some work as a subordinate. Day than the past slightly better......"
"Reduced to a servant girl?"
Lu Changan was initially worried that the Peacock Holy Maiden had gained a certain amount of freedom and had the possibility of escaping.
Later, he learned that not only was the Peacock Holy Maiden's magical power imprisoned, but her feet were also hinged and locked, handcrafted by the Yuan Ying True Lord.
Once she tries to leave the Golden Sun Sect, the restriction will kick in, and her life will be worse than death.
Many of the guests of the Golden Sun Sect would even deliberately go to the outer mountains to admire the Peacock Holy Maiden's appearance as a servant girl.
The Peacock Holy Maiden silently endured the humiliation and kept her mouth shut.
If Lu Chang'an visited the Golden Sun Sect, he would be able to see the Peacock Saint Maiden, but he would not be allowed to touch her.
Lu Chang'an guessed that the Golden Sun Sect was worried about the Beast King Valley really uniting the neighboring countries in the future, so they didn't dare to really hurt the Peacock Sage.
The Golden Sun Sect is worried that the Beast King Valley will really dominate the neighboring countries in the future and will not dare to harm the Peacock Sacred Lady.
The same as losing a battle and relocating a clan, if it is targeted by the Beast King Valley's senior management, the difficulty is very different.
......
Half an hour later, Li Congren's face was flushed and he bowed to leave.
Before leaving.
Li Congren bought relatively affordable third-order talismans and third-order lower-grade puppets from Lu Chang'an.
Lu Chang'an instructed him on two things.
First, as far as he could, Li Congren should take care of the Mu family.
Lu Chang'an's friendship with the Mu family was gradually broken.
However, Li Erqing's lineage is closely related to the Fei Yuehu Mu family.
Without Lake Fei Yuehu, there would be no Snow Plum Mountain today.
Lu Changan had previously projected that after Mu Bing Yun's death, the Mu Family's future qi was very poor, and there was even the possibility of extinction.
Secondly, during the funeral ceremony, he asked Li Congren to act on his behalf and present a precious pearl to Chi Feng's descendant as a meet-and-greet gift. It turned out that Lu Changan found a top-grade spiritual root in Chi Feng's descendant.
Lu Chang'an was already pleased that his righteous father's descendant had stumbled and established a family in the Immortal Cultivation World.
And that Qi Feng, has been taking care of Little Turtle Peak, including Guan Qiaozhi's mausoleum.
This character and perseverance made Lu Changan appreciate it and decided to commend it.
Lu Changan gifted the precious pearl, which can slightly accelerate the cultivation speed before the completion of the dan, and at the same time, it has a slow warming effect on the root bones, reducing the probability of damaging the foundation.
"Lu Lang, tonight...... are we spending the night in the former residence of your youth?"
Fairy Nei Yue curled up and approached from behind, her fragrance was elegant and her voice was gentle, like a clear spring tinkling.
Many years ago, when she learned of the identity of the "Land Turtle", Fairy Nei Yue was stunned for a while.
Afterwards, when she saw Lu Chang'an's real face, she accepted it gladly, and the friendship between them became deeper.
"Tonight in this real person's former residence, you will play music for one night, as a remembrance."
Lu Changan laughed and said.
Words, in front of the green dress woman, changed, dressed in neon plumage, veil faded, revealing the world's posture, beautiful fairy clear shadow, floating dance in the courtyard under the moonlight.
Immediately after, an ancient zither, floating in mid-air, swinging the ethereal sound of the valley.
Lu Chang'an listened to the music and enjoyed the dance, his mind was in a trance, as if he had returned to the era of qi refining more than two hundred years ago, where he was a humble and prudent person.
At that time, he had never thought that one day in the future, he would revisit his old home and let the first fairy of Liang country sing and dance for him, playing the qin and blowing the xiao.
The next morning, a small courtyard by the lake, the former residence, silent.
In addition to Li Congren, the entire Fei Yuehu clan, no one knows that Evergreen real last night came to the former residence.
......
The next two days, Mu Bing Yun's funeral funeral, Lu Changan did not participate.
He did not want the outside world to know the exact news of his return.
A few days later.
The two of them rode in the carriage and arrived at the Nightless Town, a gathering place for casual cultivators at the southeastern border of the Liang Kingdom.
Nightless Town is a newly built large-scale marketplace, geographically located in the back of the Devil's Road Battlefield, at the border of Liang, it is more convenient to go to Beacon Country, as well as the Moonwatch Immortal City.
On the east side, there is the dangerous poisonous gas swamp, where poisonous beasts come and go, and it is ten times more dangerous than the Flying Sand Moat in the Feng Yuan Kingdom, and it is very dangerous for True Dan practitioners to cross it.
On the other side of the endless swamp is the border between the two sects, which is a long way away.
Over the years, with Liang's No. 1 loose cultivator "Nightless Realist" in charge, coupled with escaping from the demonic war, Nightless Town has expanded rapidly, absorbing a large number of loose cultivators, and its scale is no less than that of some Immortal Cities.
The only thing is that the size of the spiritual vein is inferior, and it can't accommodate too many pandan practitioners.
Nightless Town is built around the mountain, the center of the peak of the top of the mountain, stands a few cave, surrounded by clouds, is the Nightless Town upper control of the residence.
"Fairy Master, sensing the center of the formation, there was a momentary fluctuation just now, and it quickly returned to normal. I suspect that there may be unknown cultivators, hiding their identities and illegally invading......"
Inside the second cave on the left, a late-stage Foundation Establishment workshop mayor, came in to report.
"Formation fluctuation, is a few colors of light to show warning?"
In the front garden of the cave mansion, nearly forty years of beautiful women, lazy leaning on the fence and sitting, wearing a dark green dress, body voluptuous undulation.
"It seems to be five colors."
The Mayor of the Place said with less certainty.
"Five colors...... just for a moment?"
Fairy Shifu's clear eyes stared, no longer in a casual stance, her expression solemnized.
For cultivators who sneak into the marketplace without verifying their presence, the city's formations will sense them.
Depending on the color, there will be various reactions.
The Qi Refining Stage is one color, the Foundation Establishment Stage two colors...... False Dan real people are but three colors.
If five colors appear, it is the highest alert, meaning that it is at least a strong person above the True Dan level.
However, there was only a momentary reaction, and the visitor may have left with a single touch, either avoiding the formation senses and sneaking into the interior of Nightless City. "You retreat first, I will present this matter to Real Jiang."
Shi Manrong spoke in a calm tone, dismissing the Fang City Elder.
At this moment, out of the corner of her eye, she looked at the rocky landscape not far away, on which sat a small dog-sized rat demon, looking ordinary.
The Mayor of Fang, who was reporting earlier, didn't even realize that there was a mouse demon about ten feet away from his side.
"It's you......"
Shi Manrong could not help but be stunned, the mouse demon's witty eyes, and the memory of a certain image, a high degree of coincidence.
To be able to break into her cave like nobody's business, it is impossible for an ordinary third-rank rat demon to do so.
Shi Manrong's divine sense swept to the outside of her cave and saw a man and a woman sitting in the guest pavilion.
"Huh! Mother, where did the rats come from?"
A clean and handsome white-clothed boy walked over and looked curiously at the rat demon on the mountain rocks.
"Xiaochuan, there are guests visiting outside the door, please welcome them in and don't disturb the others."
Shi Manrong commanded.
"Good le."
The white-clothed boy received a token and came outside the cave.
The two people in the pavilion were a white-clothed man and a green-skirted female cultivator.
The woman in the green dress wore a veil that covered her nose and face, and her appearance was ordinary.
The man in white, who was warm and serene, made the young man look slightly stunned.
This person's image quality, among the male cultivators he knew, one of the few, and there is a kind of inexplicable sense of affinity.
The two men's magic power breath is deep and obscure, it is impossible to see the reality.
"The late generation of Shi Xiaochuan, by the order of his mother, to receive you two to the cave as a guest."
The white-clothed boy was in the middle stage of Qi refining and bowed with his hands.
"Xiaochuan, your mother is Fairy Shi? The formation master of Nightless Town?"
Lu Chang'an couldn't help but ask.
"Uh na." The white-clothed boy nodded.
Lu Chang'an didn't think too much about preparing a meeting gift for the son of the Master Fairy, later on.
The time has changed.
After so many years of no contact, even as a couple, feelings will fade, not to mention a momentary partnership in the dew of love.
Even if Shi Manrong got married and had children, in Lu Chang'an's eyes, it would still be reasonable.
After all, Shi Manrong was divorced at a young age, and had a wish to have a child in Wuqi Mountain.
Lu Changan let the woman in the green dress stay in the pavilion, and he himself followed Shi Xiaochuan.
Lu Changan just stepped into the cave, the neighboring cave emerged a powerful Dan spiritual pressure, certainly reached the middle stage of the JieDan.
Swish!
The purple star remnants swept in, transforming into a sword-browed, starry-eyed, heaven-full purple-robed real person with a somber face and an unkind tone:
"Surname Lu! You still have the face to come back for Man Rong?"
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, goodbye!"
Lu Chang'an immediately recognized that this person was Jiang Yichen, who he had a slight friendship with in the past, and is now Liang's number one loose cultivator, the "Nightless Realist".
Compared to a hundred years ago, Jiang Yichen is only a few years older, his temperament is a bit more calm and less feminine.
Lu Changan secretly thought, previously heard that Jiang Yichen and Fairy Shi have a good relationship, could it be that the two of them have become a pair?
Jiang Yichen's early lover, Shen Bixin, married a woman, according to life expectancy, died at least a year.
However, Jiang Yichen and Fairy Shifu lived in different caves, not like they were a couple.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, the visitor is a guest. I don't have much life left in my concubine, so I'm looking forward to catching up with my old friend from the past."
Fairy Shifu's ghostly voice came out, seemingly pleading.
Jiang Yichen snorted lightly and coldly followed Lu Chang'an into the cave.
"Master."
Shi Xiaochuan didn't dare to utter a breath and greeted in a low voice.
Jiang Yichen wrapped his arm around the white-clothed boy's shoulders, in the form of a father and son, and entered the cave.
In the pavilion, an ordinary-looking woman in a green dress seemed to be smiling.
She thought that the white boy's temperament was more like Lu Changan's.
......
Inside the side hall, Lu Chang'an saw Fairy Shi again after decades.
Although the life span is not much, Shi Manrong in the face of the art, nearly middle-aged beauty of the woman's appearance. Although the posture is inferior to the year, but more mature charm, dignified and elegant, people light as chrysanthemum.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, why don't you let that female fellow Daoist come in?"
"She is a tribal female cultivator of the Wind Yuan Kingdom, withdrawn in nature, and does not like to interact with strangers."
Lu Changan said without moving.
Shi Man Rong did not think much about the green-skirted female cultivator outside, her appearance and temperament were not outstanding.
An indigenous tribal female cultivator?
Jiang Yichen couldn't help but think deeply: it seems that Lu Chang'an went to Feng Yuan country to take refuge and had a bad time, perhaps by combining with the indigenous powerhouse female cultivator, he sold his male sexuality in exchange for a stable environment to cultivate his life, and thus cultivated to the middle stage of JieDan.
Otherwise, with Lu Changan's vision back then, he wouldn't have found an ordinary-looking indigenous female cultivator to get along with.
The break with Shen Bixin for more than a hundred years, wasted life, rich experience, so that Jiang Yichen's state of mind, the aesthetic has changed.
Nearly twenty years, and the division fairy reunion cooperation, he gradually born appreciation.
Today's teacher fairy, although not as beautiful as many young female cultivators, but that kind of bitter experience sharpened the fragrance of the plum blossom like noble and mature temperament, let him quite moved, and have a sense of empathy.
The two of them have a good relationship, but have not broken through the boundaries.
The two of them have a good relationship, but they have never broken through that boundary. Now that Fairy Shifu doesn't have long to live, Jiang Yichen is trying hard to get a third-order life-extension pill for her to win her heart, but it's not going well.
Lu Chang'an, Fairy Shi, and Jiang Yichen spent a long time catching up with each other.
It turns out that Shi Xiaochuan is the adopted son of Shi Manrong, and not only does he have a talent for formations, but he also has a top-grade spiritual root.
Jiang Yichen, the number one loose cultivator in Liang, took the initiative to ask for a disciple, and Fairy Shi had no reason to refuse.
Due to Jiang Yichen's presence, the topic could not be deepened.
Lu Changan hinted several times that he wanted to talk to Fairy Shi alone.
Jiang Yichen was not leaving, his face was cold and he had a look of supervising a scumbag.
"Jiang Mou saw the relevant description in the Evergreen Legend: if it weren't for the fact that he was far away from the other side of the world, Fellow Daoist Lu would be the veritable number one loose cultivator in Liang."
Jiang Yichen's mouth held a faint smile, his gaze gradually became harsh, and his body emitted a cold spirit pressure that exceeded that of his peers.
"Today, Jiang Mou happens to have an itchy hand, as long as Fellow Daoist Lu can fight with Jiang Mou for a hundred breaths without losing. Afterwards, I will not stop you from reuniting with Man Rong for a private meeting."
Over the years, due to extraordinary opportunities, Jiang Yuchen, who already had excellent qualifications, became the number one casual cultivator in Liang.
Except for the sect's great cultivators, he has no rivals in the same class.
In the circle of loose cultivators, he is a lonely and invincible existence.
One hundred and fifty years ago.
Jiang Yichen competed for the position of peak master of Wu Qi Mountain, and his overall conditions were the best, but he was actually brushed off by the "blind" Lu Wu Turtle.
At that time, Jiang Yichen did not say anything on the surface, but in his heart, he was somewhat unhappy.
The teacher's fairy, whom he admired, was mercilessly abandoned decades ago by the land tortoise who ran away.
Today and shamelessly come to the door?
On his own territory in Nightless Town, Jiang Yichen had to give Turtle Lu a bit of color.
Jiang Yichen wanted to show him that the majesty of Liang's number one loose cultivator is definitely above the ordinary true dan.
