Chapter 360: A Steady Improvement
Chapter 362 - Good in Stability
Lu Chang'an surveyed the scroll of figures in Immortal Zixia's hands.
The handsome man depicted on the scroll was alive and well, wearing a high crown and a loose feathered cloak, standing with his arms folded, with a kind of oceanic and vast aura.
Only, the scroll flows on the aura of divine charm, has been dulled by half.
Lu Changan couldn't help but ponder, no wonder True Lord Zixia's words just now were more pessimistic.
This character scroll is a higher level of [Life Soul Painting] than the Sect Soul Lamp.
With a trace of specially refined soul fragments planted in it, it can not only sense the life and death of the target, but also determine the state of its soul.
At this moment, the [Soul Painting] is half dimmed, indicating that the state of the soul is very bad.
"With the state of his soul at this time, even if he returns to the mountain gate safely, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to return to the cultivation power he had in his heyday."
"Furthermore, senior brother is one of the suspicious clues to the whereabouts of the Spiritual Treasure. The Da Yu Royal Family, Great Serpent Mountain, and other forces do not want to see an overly powerful Yunxia Sect, and I'm afraid they will not allow him to return smoothly."
True Lord Zixia spoke in a low tone, stating the truth.
"Yun Lan senior brother's good fortune will have its own destiny, I believe that he will eventually have a day to return to the mountain sect."
Lu Chang'an could only speak out to comfort and say something auspicious.
Anyway, it was impossible for him to volunteer to go out and help find True Lord Yun Lan's whereabouts.
It wasn't that he had any preconceived notions about Yun Lan, but it would be very risky to do so.
Not only are there clues to the spiritual treasures, but it is possible that the hostile forces of the Yunxia Sect will set up an ambush and wait for the key figures of the Yunxia Sect to enter the jar.
Zixia True Monarch is quite wise, did not disorganize himself and hurriedly went out to look for the whereabouts of his daoist.
If something bad happens to her, the Yunxia Sect's Dao will be in real danger.
A few days ago, Zixia Sect's elite were dispatched to search for Yun Lan Sect's whereabouts and to receive her new body.
After doing her best, the first thing that Immortal Zixia did was to stabilize the sect.
Among them, pacifying and bringing together Elder Xiang and Earth Rock Monarch were the most important.
As long as these two do not have any abnormalities and still support her, there will not be any major changes in Yunxia Sect's fundamentals.
Just now, Zixia True Monarch changed her name to bring them closer together, mainly because of this.
As for the mutual friendship, a little appreciation, that is only a secondary factor.
Zixia Immortal is a heavenly spiritual root origin, the achievement of the magnificent YuanYing female true monarch, has always been reserved, implicit personality, will not be close to men of the opposite sex performance.
Moreover, Elder Xiang is a subordinate of a lower realm than her.
Lu Chang'an's mind turned electric, knowing that this beautiful and incomparable Zixia Fairy is by no means a good person, but was previously suppressed by her senior brother and did not have much say in the matter.
If this woman is really in charge of the Yunxia Sect, she might be able to do something.
"I borrow your advice. Elder brother said before that this clan's qi is stable to good, so he won't be too unlucky."
Zixia True Lord's face slowed down a little, overlooking the main peak cave outside, the picturesque scenery of the mountain gate. The qi is steady to good?
Lu Chang'an looked towards True Monarch Zixia's pretty side profile, and a hint of oddness flooded his heart.
The fate of a person is not certain.
This kind of luck belongs to the collective of the clan, not to an individual, and is difficult to control.
The existence of the Xuan Tian Gourd Vine is only a slow addition to the clan's qi cohesion, perhaps a few thousandths of a percent for the collective, but when it comes to the individual cultivator, it seems insignificant....
The vast majority of cultivators, old age, sickness and death, natural and man-made disasters, the trajectory of life, what should be how.
It's not like they are the sons of luck, breaking into dragon pools and tigers' caves, turning misfortune into good fortune, and having a series of lucky breaks.
"Elder Yu, have you ever stated what exactly happened to senior brother Yun Lan in the Ancient Pantheon?"
Lu Chang'an voiced his curiosity.
True Lord Yun Lan had handled a Fake Spiritual Treasure, and after that, his physical body was destroyed and nearly perished. With such a thrilling experience, Lu Chang'an was inevitably a little interested.
Upon hearing this, Zixia True Monarch's serene and picturesque face was vaguely flushed with a hint of cold fury, her silver teeth slightly clenched as she said:
"The main reason for Senior Brother's misfortune was not the Pseudo Spiritual Treasure. At that time, the giant of the middle stage of YuanYing, a number of YuanYing strong hand coercion, senior brother was very sensible to hand over the pseudo-spiritual treasure, diverted the battle."
"The real reason is that senior brother was assassinated in the Ancient Pantheon!"
"Backstabbing?"
Lu Chang'an's face changed, revealing a look of surprise at the right time.
In fact, in the previous projections, the trigrams in this regard had already been obtained, only they were imprecise.
Yunxia Sect previously had three major YuanYing warriors in one clan, if Yun Lan ZhenJun goes further, the surrounding forces, whether it is the enemy or the neutral party, I am afraid that they are not willing to see it.
"But the information revealed by Elder Yu? Sure it's true?"
Lu Changan's eyes flickered slightly as he said.
True Lord Zixia heard the implication that the Da Yu Imperial Family did not want to see the Yunxia Sect become powerful, and the information revealed by its position could not be trusted.
Zixia True Monarch nodded and said: ''The secret information of the Ancient Pantheon that I obtained from other sources is consistent with what Yu Yuan Jin said. Moreover, Yu Yuanjin has always been disdainful of lying, and previously swore to my concubine that in the Ancient Pavilion, the royal family's YuanYing cultivators did not make a move against senior brother."
Lu Chang'an nodded slightly, also believing that Yu Yuanjin had not lied.
However, in this world, the means to cause death and destruction of a family without having to make a move also exists.
The art of divination has this ability.
"In addition, Yu Yuan Jin has also produced evidence."
True Monarch Zixia took out a handkerchief and spread it out, revealing a broken needle shaped magic treasure remnant with residual poisonous blood on it.
"This is the residue of Senior Brother's destroyed flesh. When the Da Yu Royal Family Yuan Ying rushed to make amends, they found evidence of the murder weapon at the scene, and the blood matches."
True Lord Zixia said with a saddened face.
Lu Chang'an narrowed his eyes and surveyed the broken needle magic treasure, the scorpion-shaped pattern on it looked a bit familiar.
His eyelids fluttered slightly, and he couldn't help but think of something, his heart rippled with shock.
Several years ago, he traded the [Xuanxin Beast Pill] with the Red Serpent True Lord of the Great Serpent Mountain, and in addition to the purified dragon's blood, there was also a sinister and insidious scorpion-tailed needle shaped magic treasure, which was the finest of the finest of the top-grade magic treasures.
This needle was initially obtained from Old Ancestor Tian Luo, as Lu Chang'an had a stronger Nail Head Arrow and thus sold this item.
"This outlawed backstabbing magic treasure, paired with the bizarre and powerful fourth-order poison, was a major factor in causing Senior Brother to be seriously injured in the fight and give up his physical body."
"In the next day, if I let my concubine find the real culprit of the original owner of this magic treasure, I will make sure that he or she will not die a good death!"
A cold aura appeared in Zixia True Monarch's eyes, and her clear and cold voice was permeated with killing intent.
"That's right, the murderer is unforgivable!"
Lu Chang'an echoed.
He was secretly vain, if he were to speculate from cause and effect, True Lord Yun Lan's misfortune was indirectly affected by his own....
For one thing, the concealed magic treasure came from Lu Chang'an's hand.
Secondly, the gain in qi brought about by the Xuan Tian Gourd Vine caused True Lord Yun Lan to truly misjudge.
Thirdly, the Earth Rock Rat's promotion to Transformation Demon King made the neighboring forces even more wary of the Yunxia Sect, not allowing True Lord Yun Lan to go further. "Fourth-order poison? Is it related to the Great Serpent Mountain?"
Lu Chang'an probed.
Among the rival forces of Yunxia Sect, Great Snake Mountain possesses the ability to concoct fourth-order poisons that can poison and jeopardize the YuanYing Spiritual Body.
"My concubine has also suspected Great Snake Mountain, but there is no clear evidence. The poison on the murder weapon only has a faint residue, making it difficult to determine."
"Furthermore, Red Serpent True Lord was also badly injured at the Ancient Pantheon, and there were witnesses who were not present at the time."
True Lord Zixia sighed softly, due to the fact that it involved spiritual treasures, there were quite a few YuanYing True Lords involved, and this matter did not dare to be judged.
Lu Chang'an secretly thought, letting Yunxia Sect suspect that the real culprit is Great Serpent Mountain, I'm afraid that this is a situation that Da Yu Royal Family would like to see.
Even a mundane emperor would not want his men to fight, it is best to maintain a balanced opposition.
......
In the secret hall of the underground palace, Lu Chang'an and Zixia True Lord had a long discussion, and their relationship was much closer.
The Ground Rock Rats are basically silent and look up to Lu Chang'an as their leader.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister Zixia, a certain family and Earth Rock Monarch will do their best to guard the mountain gate and stabilize the situation."
Before saying goodbye, Lu Changan and Earth Rock Mouse stood up and bowed, expressing their loyalty.
"Da Long, Earth Rock Jun, it is fortunate that you are here to share the pressure for Senior Sister."
True Monarch Zixia's delicate face shrouded in light smoke, a rare hint of a smile spread.
With Xiang Dalong and Earth Rock Monarch's loyal support, there is no need to worry about the sect's situation.
Even if your senior brother can't come back, the Yunxia Sect's status in the Da Yu Immortal Cultivation World won't drop significantly.
After the secret talk, Zixia True Lord quietly returned to his cave at Zixia Peak.
The Earth Rock Mouse's underground palace dojo is connected to the two main peaks of the fourth-order spirit veins, so it is relatively close and convenient to string them together.
The cave's bedchamber.
Zixia True Monarch face smile disappeared, sighed softly, heart slightly lost.
During this time, she had hinted that the manpower dispatched to search for her senior brother was insufficient and incapable.
However, Elder Xiang did not take the initiative to ask for orders to go out to look for and receive True Lord Yun Lan, but only promised to assist her in guarding the mountain gate.
"After all, being a guest elder and not a talent trained by the sect's direct lineage, there is no excuse."
Zixia True Lord calmed her mind, knowing that she was expecting too much.
Perhaps, his own charm is not as great as he imagined.
As a rare female YuanYing, and being relatively young and beautiful. In the past experience, not to mention the JieDan cultivators, even some YuanYing peers, all have extra preferential treatment to her, and even secretly offer attentions.
As for Xiang Dalong, Zixia Zhenjun knows her well and has helped her a lot over the years.
The Earth Rock Monarch used the Fourth Order Spiritual Vein, obtained the Upper Clearing Pill, and traded the Thunder Transformation Bead, all with her help.
It was precisely because she had given a lot that True Lord Zixia's expectations were higher.
If one were to say that Xiang Zhengen was completely unsympathetic, True Lord Zixia could occasionally notice that he was looking at himself with admiration.
That natural yearning for beautiful things, without any desire mixed in....
"This person's self-control is strong, he does not suffer from seduction, and his character is rare. It's just a pity that it's not one of his own from a direct lineage."
Despite not meeting the ideal expectations, True Lord Zixia was more appreciative of Elder Xiang's steadfastness in not being confused by external objects.
......
One year later.
The cultivators sent out by the Yunxia Sect have failed to locate True Lord Yun Lan's whereabouts.
As various rumors spread, the surrounding forces as well as the Yunxia Sect's cultivators were not optimistic about True Lord Yun Lan's situation.
Lu Changan estimated that True Lord Yun Lan would not be able to return in a short period of time.
A weak YuanYing or a remnant soul, even if it takes over a suitable body, needs to lie dormant and recuperate for quite a few years.
Fortunately, in addition to True Lord Zixia, Yunxia Sect also has a fourth-ranked sacred beast, so the situation in the sect is not turbulent.
A few months ago, the Earth Rock Monarch was patrolling the Yunxia Sect's sphere of influence and killed a few hostile lurking misbehaving cultivators, including a mid-stage JieDan cultivator. The fourth-ranked Saint Beast made a move to deter the curfew and further stabilize the people's hearts.
Regarding the subsequent impact of the Ancient Pantheon, True Lord Yun Lan was not the most heated figure, and did not even rank in the top five.
The various forces in the Central Region are most concerned about the whereabouts of the Pseudo Spiritual Treasure.
If a Pseudo Spiritual Treasure were to fall into the hands of a giant force such as the Da Yu Imperial Family, it would be enough to change the situation in the Great Abyss Central Region.
What's more strange is that the caliber of the YuanYing cultivators who came out from the Ancient Pantheon is not uniform, and there is no clear answer to the question of who the pseudo-spiritual treasure belongs to.
Several YuanYing giants in the Central Domain, including the forces of Cloud Sky City, the Da Jin Imperial Family, the Eight Qi Mountains, and the Da Luo Kingdom, were suspicious of each other, and even intentionally framed each other.
If a major power obtained a pseudo-spiritual treasure, its neighboring rival forces would most likely not allow it to get the chance to refine and control the treasure.
The power or individual who gets the treasure will definitely lie dormant and keep a low profile, and then it will either be a scourge to the east.
Among the individual cultivators, apart from a few mid YuanYing giants, YunLan ZhenJun, NangongXiu, JingWuFeng and other unaccounted for cultivators are all targets of suspicion.
Lu Chang'an was also curious as to where the Pseudo Spiritual Treasure had been obtained by.
He had tried to project it as if practicing divination, and found that all sorts of chaotic heavenly chances were stirring up and confusing.
Apparently, there are many forces that try to calculate.
But when it comes to the Ancient Pantheon, the Pseudo Spiritual Treasure, and the many Yuan Ying True Lords, the resistance to projection has never been greater.
At the level of spiritual treasures, they have the ability to interfere with heavenly chances, but they are not as powerful as Xuan Tian's objects.
"That Jing Tian True Lord, I don't know when he will come over to share the dividends."
Lu Chang'an had been silently waiting for Jing Wufeng's contact.
However, in the recent year, Jing Wufeng had not shown up, as if he had evaporated.
Lu Chang'an could understand that this person had made some headlines in the Ancient Pavilion, and had gained more than a lot of YuanYing old monsters, making him famous in the Central Region.
In addition, he has offended his enemies and has been targeted by some big forces, so he really needs to avoid the wind.
If it were Lu Chang'an, he would have to hide for at least a decade or so, depending on the situation.
......
The waiting time is long.
Another two years passed and Lu Chang'an's age came to 353.
There was still no news of Jing Wufeng.
Lu Chang'an was not in a hurry and silently raised his cultivation and skills to increase the depth of the Puppet Army Formation.
In the past two years, he had hidden his identity and bid for a third-order Life Extension Pill at a large auction around the Da Yu Kingdom....
As the sixth Third Order Life Extension Pill, the effect further decayed, extending his life by twenty years.
Deducting the consumption of past divination, Lu Chang'an's total life span still increased, reaching 1124 years.
In the same year, Yunxia Sect welcomed a good news.
A new Immortal Golden Pillar was born in the sect, named Jiang Haoran.
Lu Chang'an had dealt with him, and it was none other than Zixia True Lord's personal disciple who had customized a puppet for him.
Jiang Haoran, the Earth Spiritual Root Talent, is the descendant of Zixia Immortal's elder brother left behind during his lifetime, because of his excellent qualification and his resemblance to his elder brother, Zixia True Monarch adopted him as his righteous son and closed disciple.
This is the most good news that Yunxia Sect has ushered in since True Lord Yun Lan's misfortune.
True Lord Zixia was overjoyed and organized a grand ceremony for Jiang Haoran to celebrate the completion of his dan, which washed away the sorrowful clouds of the past few years.
For the first time in years, Lu Changan saw a heartfelt smile on Immortal Zixia's face, and it was unbelievably beautiful.
Since True Lord Yun Lan has not returned, True Lord Zixia is in full charge of the sect, and she has more than a little bit of the majesty of a superior person, and in the eyes of the disciples in the sect, she is like a queen of the Nine Heavens, who is inviolable.
However, in front of Lu Changan and Earth Rock Monarch, Zixia True Monarch was still skillful and amiable, still the dreamlike Zixia Fairy.
As the relationship grew closer, Lu Chang'an got to know more about Zixia Fairy, and learned that this woman's surname was also Jiang, and her real name was "Jiang Ziyan".
Only, after becoming a high-ranking cultivator and experiencing a long period of time, most of the world only knows the beautiful name of Zixia Fairy. ......
The following year, the Yunxia Sect seemed to have reversed its fortune, and good news once again came to the mountain gate.
Before Patriarch Hu retired, the Yunxia Sect finally gave birth to a great Dan cultivator.
The name of this pandan cultivator is "Hua Du Zhen Zhen", he is a direct descendant of the masters of Yunxia and Yun Lan, and his qualifications are not top-notch.
After Zixia True Monarch came to power, she took care of him and gave him a step-breaking pill, so she didn't expect to be promoted smoothly.
In the end, Huadu Zhengen is also considered a related person, but caught the blessing.
The sect has been receiving good news one after another, and the situation is improving steadily.
Zixia Fairy is in a cheerful mood, her snowy face looks like a lotus flower, and she invites Lu Changan and Earth Rock Monarch to enjoy the moonlight with her.
Zixia Peak, Cave Courtyard.
The Purple Cloud Fairy sat lazily at the top, her skirt slightly disheveled, and she had just finished drinking a bottle of fourth-order spirit wine, her stunningly beautiful face was flushed with a faint blush.
Lu Changan and Earth Rock Monarch sat on the lower hand, enjoying the moon and drinking wine, accompanying Zixia Immortal to get rid of loneliness and despair.
The half-demon rat in the form of Earth Rock Monarch, dressed in purple and red robes, "gulp" non-stop muffled drinking spirit wine, there are a few wine altars under his feet.
The Earth Rock Monarch did not participate in the conversation between his master and the Purple Cloud Fairy, but just drank in a stifled manner, now in love with high-grade wine.
Lu Changan realized that even though he basically spoke himself every time he accompanied them, and Earth Rock Monarch was just playing soy sauce, Zixia Immortal would always name Earth Rock Monarch to join them.
Lu Chang'an realized that True Lord Zixia was deliberately avoiding it.
This Zixia Immortal is very concerned about her reputation, and she is clean and cherishes her feathers.
Many years ago, Fairy Zixia and True Lord Yun Lan broke up their relationship and practiced separately for many years, and there were never any bad scandals.
On the contrary, it is True Lord Yun Lan, more or less stained with a little peach rumors.
"The clan's qi luck is indeed stable in the good, senior brother if steady and down-to-earth management, how come this......."
Zixia Zhenjun slightly drunk, the eyes are confused, use the wine to dispel the sorrows. After several years, the inner melancholy, not completely dispersed, has not given up on the search for his brother.
Lu Changan secretly thought, if Yun Lan True Monarch does not venture, the situation of the three major YuanYing combatants of a door, originally a great deal of work.
Even a power with great fortune can't withstand individual deaths and all kinds of risks.
The year's near-sea dominant "listening to the sea pavilion", the most prosperous period, the disciples of its sect, can not avoid normal casualties.
......
The Yunxia Sect's good fortune in recent years seems to have affected Lu Changan personally.
Five years after the battle of Ancient Pantheon, Lu Chang'an finally got the news of Jing Wufeng.
The news that he had appeared in the Dan Dao Alliance's sphere of influence in the Central Region and had already attained the rank of a Yuan Ying True Monarch had just reached the Da Yu Kingdom.
