Chapter 327: Refinement of Control

"Greetings to the Sect Leader!"

In the midst of all the cultivators greeting him, the dazzling light of the golden recluse converged and landed in mid-air.

Zhang Tianfeng, who was dressed in a majestic and calm Xuan robe, came to the front of all the cultivators.

"Zhang Sect Leader, that mission matter, it is difficult to......"

Elder Miao and the others were shocked and caught off guard, with a sense of absurdity.

Sect Leader Zhang, who had just closed his door not long ago, actually broke out and admitted Lu Chang'an's bullshit.

"Elder Lu, after a hundred years of goodbye, far away from the poor desert land, it's been hard on you."

Zhang Tianfeng looked squarely at the white-clothed old man on the Xuan Shui big turtle, his expression solemn, arched his hand and saluted.

Only he knew what Lu Chang'an had done in the past hundred years.

Providing key information about the devil's inner demons allowed Golden Cloud Valley to avoid great losses.

Slaying the Black Crow Realist to honor the dead Zhao Siyao.

Behind the scenes of the Peacock Saint's ambush.

"No hard work. Sect Master Zhang is the one who has labored hard in running the mountain gate and fighting against the demonic invasion."

Lu Chang'an spoke in a relaxed tone and said frankly.

He had a good time in the Wind Elemental Kingdom, a hundred years, like a nice holiday, so short.

With Zhang Tianfeng, the head cultivator of the sect, several real people present were dumbfounded and didn't mention the matter of "Turtle Lu's escape" again.

After Zhang Tianfeng was promoted to the late stage of JieDan, his authority in the Golden Cloud Valley surpassed that of the deceased Grand Elder.

Sect Master Zhang was famous in the battlefield, and he was called the No.1 JieDan cultivator in Liang.

In addition to his personal strength, his management skills are also not bad. The Golden Cloud Valley is still thriving after the demonic war, and its overall strength has reached a new high for hundreds of years.

Moreover, Zhang Tianfeng came from the Law Enforcement Hall, he was fair and strict, rewarding and punishing, and was highly respected by the sect's cultivators.

"Elder Lu has not returned for a hundred years, so I will introduce you to the new real person who has joined the sect."

Zhang Tianfeng and Lu Changan walked together without exchanging pleasantries.

The two of them talked and laughed, their words were plain and simple, without any stance.

It was as if they had lost the aura of their status as Immortal Cultivation Sect Masters and Legendary Real People, and had regressed to the time when ordinary cultivators, who had started out in the Immortal Cultivation Sect two or three hundred years ago, were cooperating with each other and taking care of each other.

Looking at Zhang Tianfeng and Lu Chang'an's relationship without any barrier, the real people present had complex feelings, either envious or deep in thought.

"I heard that Sect Leader Zhang and Real Person Lu were immortal seedlings in the same introductory examination, and have been acquainted since they were teenagers, through the old era of Liang, the Jinyang Northern Relocation War, and the invasion of the Devil's Path......"

"It's hard to imagine that one of the two became the head cultivator of the sect, and the other became a legendary real person in the world of casual cultivation."

"Alas, hundreds of years of friendship can't compare. There is no excuse for Sect Leader Zhang to take care of this person."

The senior levels of the real people in the mountain gate, including the guest ministers, came out one after another to greet him.

"Greetings to the honorable return of Real Person Lu!"

A certain False Pill real person shouted, and many cultivators responded.

Even Lu Changan's thick skin secretly said "outrageous".

He was obviously running away for a hundred years, but because of the attitude of the sect chief, he was actually made a triumphant hero.

"This is Zhu Yuting from the Heng Kingdom who migrated over, Daoist Zhu."

Zhang Tieshan introduced with a smile on his face.

That is a graceful, elegant and elegant female cultivator with a purple veil skirt, with an early stage True Dan cultivation.

"I have heard about the name of the Evergreen Realist for a long time."

Zhu Yu Ting smiled wryly and owed a bow, sizing up Lu Chang'an with a certain look of admiration and curiosity.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Zhu."

Lu Chang'an nodded and didn't communicate too much. This woman was the female cultivator of the Heng Kingdom who had formed the dan with him in the Moonwatch Immortal City back then.

However, Lu Chang'an used Nie Yuan's vest at that time.

When she first met Lu Chang'an, she had a bad impression of Nie Yuan's death-defying behavior, and she was a bit reserved and aloof.

After Nie Yuan formed the Immortal Golden Pill, Zhu Yuting's attitude changed drastically, and she took the initiative to make friends with Nie Yuan under the help of Grandma, and even took out the token that she wore to let Lu Chang'an go to Hengguo to visit him when he had time.

Unexpectedly, after the defeat of Heng Kingdom, Zhu Yuting migrated to Liang Kingdom and became the guest elder of Golden Cloud Valley.

......

The top of the main peak in the center of Golden Cloud Valley.

This is where the cave of the first cultivator of the Golden Cloud Valley has been located, and it is also the place with the best aura environment in the entire Golden Cloud Valley.

Lu Changan and Zhang Tianfeng stood at the top of the mountain, taking in the scenery of the Golden Cloud Valley that stretched for hundreds of miles.

At this moment, the two Immortal Seedling teenagers of the past years, after two to three hundred years of climbing, seemed to have stepped on the high Immortal Cultivation Sect under their feet.

"The scale of the spirit veins in Golden Cloud Valley has developed so quickly. Does Daoist Zhang have a method for cultivating spirit veins?"

Lu Changan withdrew his gaze and said with interest.

Spirit veins of the same grade are also divided into scales.

For example, the third-order spirit vein in Golden Cloud Valley is almost super-sized, and can accommodate more than a dozen True Dan cultivators at the same time without any pressure.

"Mister Zhang does have a method to speed up the cultivation of spirit veins, but it requires a large amount of precious resources."

Zhang Tieshan did not deny it.

Being in charge of an Immortal Cultivation Sect and killing enemies on the battlefield, Zhang Tieshan had collected a lot of high grade gold and iron ores over the years.

The restoration progress of the Spiritual Treasure fragment has increased dramatically, and it already has one tenth of the completeness of a true Spiritual Treasure.

The spirit of the artifact has recovered to a higher degree, bringing with it a lot of useful experience and knowledge.

When he was in seclusion, the artifact spirit responded to a hint of a threatening aura and sent out an alert.

I didn't expect it to be Lu Chang'an returning.

He concealed his cultivation and was detected by the artifact spirit to be in the late stage of JieDan.

The specific quality of his cultivation is difficult to determine due to the concealment of his magical power and the lack of a battle.

Zhang Tieshan thought, at least is the upper reaches of the true dan, the same as his own, otherwise it is difficult to promote the late stage of conjugation dan.

"How long will it take to cultivate a fourth-order spirit vein?"

Lu Changan's eyes flickered lightly, and he was vaguely looking forward to the development of Golden Cloud Valley.

"It's difficult! It takes a long time to break through to a Fourth Order Spirit Vein, and the accumulated resources far exceed the cultivation of a Yuan Ying True Lord. This has to do with the heaven and earth's fortune and the distribution of earth veins in Da Qing."

"Unless one can intercept a portion of other Fourth Order Spiritual Veins to significantly speed up the progress."

Zhang Tianfeng's gaze was stern, and he did not hide anything in front of Lu Chang'an, including his hidden ambitions.

Lu Chang'an smiled, he was far from the only one waiting for the old order to be subverted.

Zhang Tianfeng lower grade spiritual root, even if the will of the top, chance in the body, can have today's achievements, in the immortal cultivation world is actually very conspicuous.

However, his climate has become, as the helmsman of the clan, the influence is extraordinary, behind the suspicion that there are YuanYing seniors.

The surrounding YuanYing ZhenJun, out of all sorts of scruples, even if he has a way to him, it is not good to start.

Lu Changan speculated that Zhang Tieshan possessed a spiritual treasure and related opportunities, even if he was secretly attacked by a YuanYing, he still had the ability to protect himself.

The way he behaved on the battlefield, most likely he still has reservations.

"How long does Fellow Daoist Lu intend to stay this time when he returns?"

Zhang Tianfeng was slightly expectant.

If Golden Cloud Valley obtains another late stage JieDan great cultivator, and it is the unfathomable Lu Changan, it is expected to become the second clan in Liang.

"It shouldn't be more than ten years."

Lu Chang'an sighed lightly.

"So hasty? Could it be that fellow Daoist Lu is not optimistic about the Devil Dao War at all."

Zhang Tian Feng was stunned, not realizing that it had only been less than ten years, he was vaguely disappointed.

If he could get Lu Changan's help, it would not be an extravagant hope for Golden Cloud Valley to become a Yuan Ying Sect within a hundred years.

Lu Changan knew Zhang Tieshan's thoughts, in fact, he was also a bit moved.

He didn't mind cultivating to the peak of JieDan in one breath in a reliable sect, or even advancing to YuanYing in his own fourth-order spirit vein. The reason for this decision was related to the secret talks of the Heavenly Master.

When he left Feng Yuan Kingdom, the Heavenly Master gave Lu Chang'an a fortune telling when he saw him off.

Lu Chang'an owed that old fox a promise.

The two of them have another agreement.

"It has nothing to do with this."

Lu Chang'an shook his head and did not say the reason.

The Wei Dao Alliance has now shrunk to three countries' territories, with more guarding cultivators per country, which actually puts relatively less pressure on the defense, especially in dealing with top-tier combatants.

......

On that day, Lu Chang'an settled in a main peak cave in the hinterland of the Golden Cloud Valley, enjoying the environment of a third-order top-grade spiritual vein.

This main peak was called Great Sun Peak.

With a mid JieDan cultivation level, practicing in a third-order top-grade spirit vein would be more efficient, and Lu Changan wasn't worried about revealing his true cultivation level as a result.

As a Guest Elder, enjoying this kind of "overstep" treatment is an exception in Golden Cloud Valley.

However, as the first cultivator of the Golden Cloud Valley is the deepest friend, other real people do not dare to raise objections.

The next morning.

Lu Chang'an went to pay homage to Zhao Siyao's tomb.

The next few days.

Lu Chang'an responds to the visits of some real people.

The discerning can see that with Lu Chang'an's strength and connections, he is expected to become the number two person in Golden Cloud Valley.

Most of the real people were willing to befriend Lu Changan.

Zhu Yuting, who was also a guest elder, also came over to sit for an hour and showed some interest in Lu Changan.

Zhu Yuting's cultivation, beauty, and as the only female true dan guest secretary, she was quite popular in the door's dan circle.

However, Lu Chang'an did not treat her with any preferential treatment and treated her equally.

"Elder Lu, this is a token sent to Yunlai Peak in the past."

In the evening of that day, a late stage Foundation Establishment Sect Steward, sent some item letters, up to the cave.

Yunlai Peak, is Lu Changan's cave residence in Golden Cloud Valley a hundred years ago.

Lu Chang'an looked at those letters, most of them came from the late generation of Liang's old friends and seniors.

Some of them were requests for help.

For example, Ye Fei of Wu Qi Mountain, who had attained dan decades ago, tried to contact Lu Chang'an, but was unsuccessful, and eventually failed to attain dan and died.

There are also letters from Xia Wenyue, the earliest of which is from a year ago.

Lu Changan casually read it, recalling Xia Wen Yue's intelligence in recent years.

Xia Wanyue's promotion to the middle stage of JieDan was many years ago.

This woman even showed her skills in the defense of the Beacon Kingdom, and had the record of killing a Devil's Pillars.

Lu Changan was not surprised by this.

The advantage of an innate Dao Body does not lie in the speed of cultivation, but rather in the addition of certain natural traits or divine spells.

Xia Wenyue's "Ice Chalcedony" has a considerable increase in ice-based spells and aptitudes, and her fighting strength is naturally stronger than most of her peers.

Theoretically, Lu Changan can go to the Beacon Kingdom now and ask Xia Wenyue for the Taiyin Jade Liquid.

"Wait a little longer......"

Lu Chang'an was ready to take in a quasi-fourth ranked puppet before considering it.

After all, asking for the Tai Yin Jade Liquid would easily attract resentment.

As far as he knew, Xia Wanyue had quite a few suitors in the Beacon Kingdom, all of them were dragons and phoenixes among men.

Her master is the YuanYing True Monarch of Ao Yue Palace.

Lu Chang'an was worried that if he didn't do his job well, he would attract a YuanYing True Lord's pursuit.

It would be safer to build up more strength before going to the Beacon Kingdom.

......

Zhao Tan'er returned from the battlefield of Jing Kingdom as a reinforcement.

Zhao Tan'er was pleasantly surprised to learn of Lu Chang'an's return.

However, she hid in her cave for a few days, seemingly sulking and refusing to see Lu Changan.

At first, Lu Chang'an thought that she had a grudge in her heart.

If Lu Changan had not run away a hundred years ago and married Zhao Siyao, he might have been able to change that tragedy.

Until this morning.

Lu Changan came to Zhao Si Yao's mausoleum, and "coincidentally" met Zhao Tan Er, who was worshipping.

Zhao Taner green silk like a waterfall, body curvaceous and light, eyes spiritually beautiful, like two points of star tears, at this time, but the water mist haze, staring blankly at the mausoleum of the master. "Uncle Lu......"

At first sight of Lu Changan behind her, the corners of her eyes were red and her nose was sore.

"There is no need to blame yourself."

Lu Chang'an's voice was gentle, gently patting her shoulder and soothing her.

After inquiring, he learned that Zhao Tan'er had always felt guilty about her master Zhao Siyao's death.

She was not angry with herself, but she was ashamed to meet her.

"Uncle Lu, all blame Tang'er, took the life-preserving recluse you gifted to the master......"

Zhao Tan'er eyes light tears, self-blame said.

Seeing the world's closest elders, the emotions that have been pent up for decades seem to have found a vent.

Her green silk fluttered and the fragrance dispersed, she turned back to embrace Lu Chang'an and buried her head in the latter's embrace, sobbing in a low voice and pouring out her heart for a long time.

"Uncle Lu, your master, will not blame you. Moreover, your master, as a false dan real person, this life to see the end, it is better to look forward to the next life......."

Lu Changan estimated that even without the incident back then, Zhao Siyao would have seen the end of his life in recent years.

"Uncle Lu, do Immortal Cultivators really have reincarnation in the afterlife?"

Zhao Tan Er wiped her tears dry and raised her head, her eyes glowing brightly.

"There is."

"So sure, you don't say you've seen it?"

"I have."

Lu Chang'an's sure answer made Zhao Taner's mood much more soothing.

Even though she knew that Uncle Lu was mostly opening up and coaxing herself.

After a long time, Zhao Tang'er's mood stabilized, and she let go of her hands to embrace Lu Chang'an, her pretty face flushed with a slight haze.

She thought of the last words left by her master at the end of her life.

She gazed at the youthful white man in front of her, a senior in the form of half a master, and opened her mouth, not knowing how to start.

In front of the tombstone, Lu Chang'an and Zhao Taner talked for a long time until evening.

"Lin Lu?"

During this time, Zhao Tan Er mentioned the deceased junior who disappeared in the battlefield of the Beacon Kingdom in the early years.

Lin Lu, is the son of the young marquis Lin Yi, back then, the prodigal son returned, very filial to Lu Chang'an, when he was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, he participated in the clan's expedition against the Beacon Kingdom.

I don't know what kind of twists and turns he went through, but he didn't perish, and actually switched to the devil's way, promoted to false dan, settled down in the devil's way camp, married and had children.

"What else do you have to say to Uncle Lu?"

Before saying goodbye, Lu Chang'an could see that Zhao Tan'er had something on her mind.

"Finished."

Zhao Tang'er shook her head, her tone was light and quick, changing the topic, "I haven't seen you for a hundred years, and we are both in the middle stage of JieDan, Uncle Lu can accompany Tang'er to have a good sparring session."

Once in the Golden Cloud Valley, the most cozy twenty to thirty years, Lu Chang'an and her fighting and sparring, teaching practical experience, help in the battlefield.

A few months later, Zhang Tianfeng and Zhao Tang'er went to the Devil Dao Battlefield successively.

Zhang Tianfeng entrusted Lu Chang'an with the task of keeping the clan under control, refining talismans, and going to the battlefield to kill the enemy and earn battle merit.

Lu Chang'an gave Zhao Tan'er a third-rank top-grade recluse talisman to save her life, telling her not to be greedy and take chances.

......

One year later.

Lu Chang'an rejoined the Golden Cloud Valley for two years and turned 313 years old.

The return of Realist Evergreen sparked a momentary buzz in Liang. However, under the general environment of the invasion of the Devil's Way, the major powers did not pay much attention to it.

On this day, the Great Sun Peak Cave Mansion.

Lu Changan, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and smiled faintly:

"Fellow Daoist has finally woken up."

The white light of the storage ring on his finger flashed, and a green-armored man puppet shaped like a zombie appeared on the ground.

The tired wounds of the quasi-fourth rank puppet from the group battle several years ago were only the shell damage, which Lu Chang'an had repaired.

"Junior, the wounds on the old man's body, were they repaired by you?"

The green armored man's eyes lit up with ghostly green fire, the first time he woke up, he was in discomfort, and his tone was unkind.

"That's right, how is my craftsmanship?"

Lu Chang'an said with a faint smile.

"Dog skin, messy patches!"

The green armored man was greatly annoyed, and was about to have a fit, but found that his body could not move, and the ghost spirit consciousness where the puppet spirit, came from the cold and strange dangerous aura.

The restrictions it contains are beyond imagination, life and death are all in the other party's hands. "Your Excellency should first understand the current situation before speaking."

At these words, the green-armored man calmed down, recalling the experience of the previous battle, and regretted it.

After a long time, he spoke with great difficulty, "Fellow Daoist captured me alive, what do you intend to do with me?"

"Hehe, it depends on whether you want to live on, or completely go up in smoke and lose the qualification to reincarnate."

Lu Chang'an's light tone, not caring about the other party's life and death appearance.

The green-armored man's heart was aghast, the price of turning into a ghost cultivator was not being able to reincarnate.

Ghost form can last longer in the world, but it has to withstand the erosion of cloudy gas, causing distortion of temperament, and may completely lose its nature, reduced to pure evil ghosts and evil spirits.

"The old man's consciousness is not separate from the puppet spirit, if you, Taoist friend, forcibly strangle, will lead to the collapse of the puppet spirit and damage the puppet center......"

The green-armored man pointed out the key point, and it was also a situation that Lu Changan avoided.

The most he could do was to repair the shell of a quasi fourth-order puppet, the center core could not be helped.

Puppets at this level need to refine the core of the puppet spirit in order to control and exert their strength.

It would take a long time to re-breed the puppet spirit, and it would be extremely troublesome.

In his previous life, the power of his soul was not equal to the puppet spirit, it was like a blank sheet of paper, whether it could be transformed into a puppet and how it could be implemented were all unknowns.

Lu Changan teased.

These words irritated the green-armored man, and he said:

"I'm not living! I don't hesitate to turn into a ghost spirit just to build a real fourth-order puppet to avenge my blood feud......"

Lu Changan secretly laughed, this person transformed into a ghost spirit, emotionally unstable, a little tease, it is easy to lose your mind, be trapped out of the conversation.

Both sides have no conflict of interest, instead, they both demand fourth-order puppets.

After understanding the other party's bottom line, Lu Changan took the initiative in the subsequent negotiation.

The green-armored man, surnamed Wei, was a puppet genius of the Thousand Chance Sect. With his peak JieDan cultivation, he spent his entire life's effort to build a fourth-order puppet, only to have his "sponsored" fellow disciples take the blame, and also pillage and kill his wife and daughter.

Half an hour later, the two sides reached an agreement and made an oath of heart demon.

Wei Puppeteer promised to fully assist Lu Chang'an to build a real fourth-rank puppet and teach his life-long puppeteer skills.

The puppet inheritance and experience Wei Puppeteer possessed far exceeded the two jade slips he had traded previously.

Lu Chang'an promised that in the future, this puppet would be promoted to the True Fourth Order, allowing his people to take revenge and providing assistance accordingly.

Subsequently, Wei Puppeteer took the initiative to cooperate with Lu Changan, refining and controlling this Quasi-Fourth Order Puppet, erasing the previous residual marks.

......

Finally, Lu Chang'an became the master of this quasi fourth-order puppet.

He set up an illusionary formation in his cave and tested it a few times, and was satisfied with it.

Due to the puppet spirit's consciousness, it was a fourth-order puppet master before it was born, so it didn't need Lu Changan's deliberate control to exert great strength.

The material of the green-armored puppet was not too far away from the true Yuanying grade quality.

Instead, it was the puppet spirit, which had a greater gap with the fourth-ranked puppets, and was not enough to utilize the full power of the puppet.

If this can be remedied, the combat power of the green-armored golem will be no weaker than that of a fourth-ranked beast king from Beast King Valley.

Its destructive power may not be as good, but it is more flexible and intelligent, and it has more means of combat.

Lu Changan thought about it, and let the soul brand of the peak JieDan of his second life come down, and called it "Soul Puppetry", and tried to merge it into the puppet spirit of the green-armored golem.

Wei Puppeteer cooperated half-heartedly, and the result was unexpectedly smooth.

"Such a pure divine soul! Hm? This fluctuation is......"

Wei Puppet Master's consciousness, controlling the puppet spirit, successfully accepted the descending second life divine soul power.

In a flash, the puppet spirit's power soared, and its control over the puppet and the play of spell aptitude rose by a small level.

Lu Changan was delighted, so it was equivalent to a carry-on fourth-order beast king, the same configuration as the Peacock Holy Maiden back then.
