Chapter 346 - Invitation from Zixia
Chapter 348 - Zixia's Invitation
"There are no major injuries, the main thing is that the dharma body is damaged."
True Lord Yun Lan squeezed out a smile on his face as his body stumbled, being assisted by Immortal Zixia, landing on the latter's recluse.
The brilliant purple haze light cloud, isolating the divine sense senses and concealing the exact situation of the two of them, landed on the Yun Lan Peak of the fourth rank spirit vein.
The Cloud Cloud Cloud Sect's JieDan executives, seeing the general situation of True Lord Yun Lan's injury, did not dare to discuss it freely.
However, this level of injury is not fatal to a YuanYing True Lord.
Without reaching the step of YuanYing's out-of-body experience, it could not be considered as a truly desperate situation or a life-and-death catastrophe.
On Qingluan Peak, Lu Chang'an's eyes flashed with a strange color, beyond the senses and cognition of a Jiedan cultivator, letting him see some clues.
True Lord Yun Lan's body was not only damaged and he lost an arm. His YuanYing spirit body is also a bit weak.
"True Lord Yun Lan has not taken over his body, and his original Dharma body has lost an arm, so even if he uses heaven and earth spirits and holy medicines to make up for it, his fleshly body will still have a flaw."
Lu Changan pondered. Injuries are secondary, the key is the flaws left in the dharma body, affecting future advancement.
This impact is not the deciding factor.
But for cultivators who already had a hard time advancing, it would be an added burden.
Or, if they have a chance to advance, due to this situation, they will regret it for the rest of their lives.
As for taking over the body? That would have an even greater impact. After a YuanYing has been abducted, it will lose some of its origin and will not fit perfectly with its physical body, making it even more difficult for its cultivation to surpass its previous level.
For most cultivators, the original flawless physical body is definitely the best fit.
"This matter has nothing to do with this real person."
Lu Chang'an, as the clan's lucky star, was certain of this.
The Xuan Tian Huling Vine hadn't been rooted for long, and its own increase in qi was weak, and when it fell on an individual cultivator, it was even more minimal.
He has been practicing in a low-key manner in Yunxia Sect and has not made any moves that would affect the upper echelons.
Even if he didn't join the Yunxia Sect, what happened today would have happened anyway.
In the Great Abyss, where spirit veins are more abundant, the proportion of YuanYing cultivators advancing to the middle stage is no more than 30%.
......
Yun Lan Peak, the cave of the Supreme Elder.
Yun Lan Zhen Jun sat down and took a few healing pills, his complexion recovered a little bit, but his expression was still uninspired.
"Elder brother Arashi, who did this?"
Zixia True Lord's voice was cold and concerned.
"I left from the Dandao Alliance territory and was attacked on my way. The attackers were two YuanYing cultivators, one of whom was suspected to be the devil Nangong Huo, who is wanted by the Southern Domain's 'Heavenly Sword Pavilion'."
"The other, using special props to conceal his face and mana breath, secretly placed a bizarre infant poison, causing my senior brother's YuanYing to be poisoned. If I was forced to have my YuanYing go out of my body, it would only cause the Infant Poison to strike faster."
"Luckily, senior brother used our clan's back-of-the-box life-preserving means, allowing those two to return without any success."
True Monarch Yun Lan said with palpitations in his heart.
"Strange Infant Poison? Could it be the Great Serpent Mountain's handiwork? The poison of that 'Red Specter Snake King' would be able to injure the Yuan Ying and affect divine sense."
True Lord Zixia's starry eyes flickered as she speculated.
The Great Serpent Mountain, is the Yunxia Sect's arch-enemy.
The relationship between the two clans has always been bad, and the grudge involves the previous generations of YuanYing, and this was the case before it was merged into DaYu.
In the past two hundred years, the Great Snake Mountain has been recovering, and has kept a low profile; coupled with the mediation of the Daewoo Royal Family, the two sides have been able to resolve their differences and live in peace....
"The Infant Poison that Elder Brother is suffering from is not too different from the Red Pixie Snake King's poison."
True Lord Yun Lan mused:
"However, Great Serpent Mountain is indeed suspicious, they definitely don't want to see the Yunxia Sect's three YuanYing in one clan, and even more so, they don't want to see Senior Brother and I advance to the middle YuanYing stage."
"I'm afraid, it's not just Great Serpent Mountain that doesn't want to see our Yunxia Sect get too strong."
Zixia True Lord sighed quietly.
True Monarch Yun Lan was silent for a long time, knowing that after being poisoned by the Infant Poison and losing an arm, the hope of advancing to the middle stage of YuanYing in this life was even more remote.
"When you left the Dan Dao Alliance, you were ambushed. Even if that Le Dan Shi didn't leak the information, he is still at fault for this. I will send someone to send a message to ask for a holy medicine to dissolve the infant poison and speed up the recovery of the Yuan Ying." True Lord Zixia suggested.
True Monarch Yun Lan nodded and added, "Good thing, this time, the deal with Master Le Dan has finally made progress. The resource mobilization for Yun Qing's infant formation is almost complete, and there is no need to worry about the refinement of the Infant Transformation Dan."
"That's good, Yun Qing will soon reach the peak of Jindan. If we can obtain another baby-forming spirit that can help to resist the Heart Demon Tribulation, we will be able to increase our certainty."
True Lord Zixia's face soothed and smiled faintly.
Although True Lord Yun Lan has taken a risk on this trip, the value of the harvest is critical, and it is easy to be hated.
"A few years from now, the Central Region's Cloud Sky City will be hosting a high-profile auction. At that time, senior brother will recuperate from his injuries and try his luck again."
......
The following year.
Yunxia Sect launched a top-down purge, mainly targeting the clan's mole.
The results were not bad, and a number of paid insiders were found to be providing confidential information about the Yunxia Sect to outside forces.
Lu Chang'an noticed that most of the insiders who were uncovered were related to the Great Serpent Mountain. At the end of this incident, he was almost implicated.
One of the servants of Qingluan Peak was tampered with and returned to the main peak cave with a token from Great Serpent Mountain.
Luckily, the ground rock rat had a keen sense of smell and found the special token of the Great Snake Mountain and was naturally disgusted by it.
Lu Changan handed the servant over to the Law Enforcement Hall of Yunxia Sect at the first opportunity, clearing his suspicion.
"Great Snake Mountain! Intending to plant evidence against this True Lord, even if it doesn't come to fruition, it is still going to alienate the trusting relationship between me and True Lord Zixia."
Lu Chang'an secretly made a note in his mind.
He practiced with dedication within the sect and was so low-key and honorable, but he was actually targeted by Great Serpent Mountain.
When he went to the Great Serpent Mountain and talked to the Heartless Realist, I'm afraid he was targeted.
To be precise, it was the ground rock rat that was targeted, and its scent was detected by the "Red Specter Snake King".
After spending more than ten years in Da Yu Kingdom, Lu Chang'an has a deeper understanding of the details of the Great Snake Mountain.
According to the rumors, the "Red Specter Snake King" of the Great Serpent Mountain likes to devour rat demons.
For the Snake King, a high-cultivated rat demon is a great tonic that can boost his cultivation.
When he mentioned the "Great Snake Mountain", Lu Changan thought of the rumors that came from around Da Yu Kingdom after True Lord Yun Lan was attacked.
One of the versions claimed that True Lord Yun Lan's ambush was due to the collusion between Great Serpent Mountain and the cultivators of the Dan Alliance.
The cultivators from the Dan Alliance provided True Lord Yun Lan's whereabouts so that the ambush could be successful.
Although there are many rumors, there are also some open and definite facts....
For example, True Lord Yun Lan was attacked after leaving the Dandao Alliance.
"Dan Dao Alliance, Fourth Order Dan Master, Master Le......"
Lu Chang'an had a certain amount of knowledge about the Dan Alliance forces.
Dan Dao Alliance, led by a number of alchemist masters and a few Dan Dao sects, constitutes a neutral power alliance, its influence is not limited to the Central Region, and even radiates to other regions of the Great Abyss.
This alliance of forces is even farther away from the forbidden land of the Central Domain. It is on the eastern periphery of the Central Region and closer to the eastern region of the Great Abyss, which makes it easier to obtain the sea materials from the side of the Sixteen Sectors of Zhenhai.
As a neutral force, the Dandao Alliance emphasizes harmony and wealth, and has a good reputation overall.
Once, there was a late-stage practitioner who asked the Dandao Alliance to refine the Infant Transformation Pill, and was lucky enough to be promoted to Infant, and has been guarding the Dandao Alliance for a hundred years.
Even if such an example happens once in a thousand years, it is still something that the world aspires to.
The Great Abyss is rich in materials and has a well-developed Immortal Cultivation Civilization, so the number of high-grade Dan Masters is even greater.
As a result, there are occasional YuanYing cultivators born in this realm.
If Lu Changan could gather all the ingredients for the Infant Transformation Pill, compared to the Da Qing side, the difficulty of hiring someone to make the pill would be lower.
......
Two years later, the storm over the attack on True Lord Yun Lan has long since subsided.
Master Le of the Dandao Alliance sent a fourth-order antidote pill as a token of condolence.
However, Grandmaster Le denied that he had anything to do with the incident. Lu Chang'an's age, coming to 339 years old, has been away from Da Qing for twenty years.
On this day, in the secret room of the cave.
An elegant and beautiful peacock frames its feathers and hangs in mid-air.
Lu Chang'an adjusted and finely polished a few of the bones according to Wei Puppet Master's tips.
Over the decades, Wei Puppet Master helped Lu Chang'an construct the refining program for the Alien Spirit Peacock Puppet.
The peacock frame in front of him was just a prototype, and its material exceeded that of a normal Third Order Upper Grade Puppet.
It was too early for a finished product, and it needed to be slowly perfected and provided with more precious materials.
This foreign spirit peacock puppet imitates the true spirit - the five-colored peacock.
Fortunately, the core bloodline related materials were all provided by the Peacock Saintess's Heavenly Spirit Bird.
Lu Changan already possessed a fourth-ranked puppet and was rather ambitious.
The Alien Spirit Peacock Puppet he built had to be at least quasi-fourth rank to start with, thus slowing down the pace of refining.
A quasi fourth-ranked foreign spirit puppet may be more difficult to refine than an ordinary fourth-ranked puppet, and Puppet Master Wei had been studying it for years and was mesmerized by it.
"One more year to go, and it will be the High Rank Auction in the Central Region's Cloud Sky City." Lu Chang'an sealed the Alien Spirit Peacock fledgling and prepared for a long trip.
Cloud Sky City was the number one immortal city in the Central Region.
Back then, the contact location he agreed with Jing Wufeng was in this immortal city.
Lu Chang'an actually didn't really want to cooperate with Jing Wufeng, this person's origin was mysterious, his strength was unpredictable, and he had traveled through a spatial rift to arrive at the Great Abyss.
However, for the sake of the resources for infant formation and the fourth stage of the Earth Rock Rat's transformation, Yun Tian City must make a trip.
Especially for the Earth Rock Rat, which had been polished for a few years at the peak of the third stage, its lifespan wasn't as long as Lu Chang'an's.
The high-level auction in Yuntian City is held once every ten years, and it is mainly for high-level cultivators above the JieDan stage.
Whenever an auction of this scale is held, Cloud Sky City gathers many real people at the JieDan stage, and many YuanYing old monsters, who are rare to see on a normal day, will also appear....
By touching this circle, it is easier to obtain the resources for Infant Formation or Transformation.
......
Lu Changan's cultivation to the peak of Jindan would still take a few more decades, and his progress in preparing for Infant Formation could only be described as average.
He mainly obtained Tai Yin Jade Liquid, Zi Wu Qing Feng, and non-superior infant formation materials.
The preparations for the baby formation are categorized into three types.
First, advancement types, such as Infant Transformation Pills, Tai Yin Jade Liquid, etc., to increase the success rate of Infant Formation.
Secondly, the treasure for resisting the heavenly thunder.
Thirdly, the most categorized baby forming artifacts.
There are the categories of spiritual items for infant formation, such as mana, consciousness, and those for cleansing the physical body and perfecting the foundation.
The above three categories are relatively common.
There is also the rarest kind of baby-making spirit, which can increase the resistance to the heart demon robbery, commonly known as the heart demon class.
Of course, the heart magic type of baby-making spirit, only slightly increase the resistance of the heart magic, is not a decisive factor, the key is still to rely on their own.
The heart of the demonic spirit of infancy, or the immortal golden pills of the great sect of the first baby, the seed of the first baby, also can not be found.
Luckily, Lu Changan practiced the Evergreen Kung Fu, which has enhanced his state of mind, and he has experienced several lives, so he has an advantage in fighting against heart demonic robberies.
It is best if you have it, but if you don't, you don't have to ask for it.
As for the quality of infancy, there are not as many distinctions as there are for dan formation.
In the human world, there is only one mainstream way to form a baby, and that is the humane way of forming a baby.
Regardless of the quality of the conjugation, as long as the final conjugation is successful and undergoes the heavenly tribulation, there is not much difference in the quality of the final conjugation, mainly because of the difference in the gong method.
However, those who succeed in forming a baby are basically above the quality of the upper reaches of the True Dan, with half of the Immortal Golden Dan.
Rumor has it that there is another way of "Heavenly Way Infant Formation" in the ancient Immortal Cultivation World, whereby the infants can obtain a stronger foundation, as well as a better understanding of heaven and earth.
However, the method of Heavenly Dao Infant Formation has been lost, and it is impossible to succeed in the Human Realm, belonging to the legends of the Upper Interface.
No one dares to attempt it, not even the pride of the Harmonization Sacred Earth.
Because, the Heavenly Dao Infant Conjugation requires that after just shattering the dan to become an infant, the infant directly exits the body and undergoes the baptism of Heavenly Lightning, which is an unimaginably great horror.
The baby state of a newly formed baby is very fragile and unstable, and under the bombardment of heavenly thunder, it will collapse in a single blow.
Lu Changan never thought about the Heavenly Dao YuanYi, and honestly prepared for the Humanity YuanYi.
The human world is like this anyway, so it's not like we're lagging behind our peers.
......
This is the first time I've ever seen a human being in the world.
Lu Chang'an was ready to go on a long trip.
As a Guest Elder, it is best to inform the Supreme Elder when you are far away from the mountain gate and the Daewoo Kingdom.
As a soothsayer, he can even calculate the right day to go out.
For some reason, Lu Chang'an has not been able to calculate a good day to go out recently, and he even calculated a small misfortune once.
This makes him feel speechless.
However, when it comes to YuanYing chances and going out so far, it is often impossible to have smooth sailing.
Lu Chang'an simply went to visit the Supreme Elder first to let him know.
The two YuanYing True Lords of YunXia Sect, Lu ChangAn was closer to Zixia True Lord, after all, the latter personally recruited him.
Zixia Peak, birdsong and flowers, fragrant and pleasant.
Lu Changan didn't wait long and was summoned by Immortal Zixia.
Inside the elegant palace, Zixia Fairy sits at the top, with a beautiful curve, wearing a phoenix hairpin and a cloud bun. Dan lips outside Lang, white teeth inside fresh.... She lifted her delicate jade hand and brewed a fourth-order spirit tea in the air, serving Lu Changan a cup of tea.
"Manservant Xiang, preparing to leave for a long journey at this time of the year, could it be that you are going to attend the High Rank Auction in the Central Region's Cloud Sky City."
Learning of the reason for his visit, True Lord Zixia pursed her lips and smiled lightly, guessing.
"That's right."
Lu Chang'an's mind turned electric and he did not deliberately conceal it.
"Manservant Xiang, according to the confidential information obtained by this Sect, you may be targeted by the 'Great Serpent Mountain' and may not be safe if you go out alone."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chang'an realized in his heart, no wonder he hadn't been able to divine a good day to go out recently.
"Our clan has plans to attend the Yun Tian City Auction. If you don't mind, Realizer Xiang will accompany me on my journey, so that there is also a way to take care of each other."
True Lord Zixia proposed.
In fact, what she said about keeping an eye on is slightly exaggerated. Great Serpent Mountain is most likely trying to get between them, and Xiang Dalong is just one of the targets.
"This auction, led by you?"
Lu Chang'an was stunned for a moment.
According to the usual practice, the two True Lords of Yunxia Sect, True Lord Yun Lan has a higher status and is mostly in charge of the main outside.
True Lord Zixia usually guards the mountain gate and is responsible for internal affairs.
Some of my peers have joked that True Lord Yun Lan is worried that Zixia Immortal has too much charisma and has had many suitors in the past. So he hid her in a golden house and seldom let her go out and show her face.
"Well, Elder Brother Arashi has other things to do, this time, this True Monarch will lead the team."
Perhaps seeing Lu Changan's concerns, True Monarch Zixia's starry eyes turned slightly and added with a smile:
"This True Monarch has been promoted to YuanYing for more than a hundred years, her divine abilities are not too much inferior to those of Senior Brother. Moreover, during this period of time, in the Da Yu Country and its surroundings, there are more high-ranking cultivators traveling to Yun Tian City, and the road is instead safer than on weekdays."
Lu Chang'an secretly thought, "I'm afraid that True Lord Yun Lan has not recovered from his injuries, so he is letting True Lord Zixia go to Cloud Sky City this time.
The words came to this, Lu Chang'an sensibly agreed:
"Senior Zixia invited me, Mister Xiang is honored."
