Chapter 363: Infant Binding Planning
Chapter 365 - Infant Binding Planning
After the test, Lu Chang'an put away the Quasi-Fourth Order Alien Spirit Peacock Puppet.
The amount of money spent on this puppet far exceeded that of its counterparts, almost exhausting the best puppet refining treasures over the years. As a result, the third-ranked top-ranked assassin puppet, which was greatly damaged in the Ancient Pantheon, has not yet been repaired.
This investment is also worthwhile, in addition to the fourth-ranked Green Armor Puppet, Lu Changan has another powerful assistant.
As for the other third-order puppets, Lu Changan is prepared to incorporate them into the puppet army system.
The puppet army formation theoretically has the power to cross the ranks, but it is limited and has almost no mobility.
The advantage is that it is good at fighting positional battles and is more effective when combined with formations.
If you want to maneuver with YuanYing, the cornerstone of the puppet army formation should be at least four late third stage puppets.
Lu Changan is still short of two, even at his current level, he still needs to accumulate some years.
Of course, the Peacock or the Green Armor Puppet can either fight alone or be used as the core to integrate into the Puppet Army Formation and enhance the latter's power.
"The peacock puppet's strength is only slightly inferior to that of Lao Fu, and can basically replace Lao Fu's duty of protecting the Dao for fellow Daoist Lu."
In front of his body, a remnant shadow appeared, the green-armored puppet's eyes danced with ghostly flames, and Wei Puppet Master's tone of voice was filled with relief.
"In the next ten years or so, I implore you to go out and travel, perhaps it will help the puppet spirit's sublimation and metamorphosis."
Lu Changan pondered a little, "I won't stop Puppet Master Wei's wish since I'm not going to stop it. However, when you go out to practice, it's best to stay around the Yunxia Sect's power, don't leave too far away." Over the past few decades, the puppet spirit of the Green Armor Puppet had been nurtured by its second body, growing faster than expected.
Now it is estimated that in another ten years, there will be no advancement.
Wei Puppet Master went out to practice, in order to pave the way in advance, increase the understanding, and promote the sublimation of the puppet spirit.
The puppet spirit's metamorphosis into the fourth stage is a crucial step.
With good fortune, perhaps the water will lead to success.
If it doesn't go well, it may stagnate for a hundred years, or even fail to succeed for life.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lu, the tens of thousands of miles around the Cloud Cloud Cloud Sect's power is enough for me to practice and realize. Moreover, every one or two years, I will need to re-inject the spirit from fellow Daoist Lu."
Wei Puppet Master said happily.
Afterwards, the one man and one puppet discussed a lot of details.
During the journey, Puppet Master Wei collected useful information for Fellow Daoist Lu and left his contact information.
In the evening of that day, Puppet Master Wei quietly left Yunxia Sect and went out for training.
Lu Changan didn't worry about losing this puppet.
As a fourth-order puppet, Lu Changan possessed the second life and sensed the distance.
However, the entire Da Yu Kingdom has a vast territory that is 60% of the size of the Wei Dao Alliance.
Therefore, Lu Changan only limited himself to the Yunxia Sect's perimeter.
The Yunxia Sect's sphere of influence, including its affiliated forces, was half of Liang Country.
......
Two years later.
The outside world's conclusion about True Lord Yun Lan's life and death was finally finalized.
Those great powers, as well as intelligence organizations, confirmed the death of True Lord Yun Lan.
True Lord Zixia did not deny this matter, and the soul lamps in the ancestral shrine hall were extinguished at the right time during this period.
Now that the situation in Yunxia Sect has stabilized, there is no need for her to deliberately conceal it.
Although Lu Changan didn't know what was going on, he could still surmise a few points of the truth.
Zixia Immortal has long been sure of her partner's death, but she has kept it a secret and has switched the soul lamps in the Ancestral Shrine Hall....
"If an ordinary Immortal Cultivation power's controller is left with only one undead person, it is bound to attract the greedy salivation of jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards."
"However, this is a YuanYing female True Lord and has a fourth-ranked sacred beast guarding the clan."
Lu Chang'an understood that as long as he and the Earth Rock Monarch supported True Monarch Zixia and were not confused by external objects, Yunxia Sect would be very stable.
Soon after, Zixia True Monarch organized a low-key funeral for his deceased daoist couple.
The only people who participated in the funeral were some of the full-fledged cultivators of the clan.
True Lord Zixia's low-profile handling was to minimize the negative impact on the sect if the couple died.
Lu Chang'an was considered a special case, as a guest elder, he personally attended the scene and witnessed the True Lord's funeral ceremony.
In front of the magnificent mausoleum.
"The tomb of the 15th generation of the Yunxia Sect's Supreme Elder, 'True Lord Yun Lan'."
A white-robed man with good looks and a handsome appearance, a hint of eccentricity flared up from the complex emotions under his eyes.
This man was none other than Zixia True Lord's named disciple, Hu Ang, who was taken in two years ago.
Perhaps because of the guidance of the Yuan Ying True Lord, Hu Ang's cultivation speed is very fast, exceeding most of the top grade spiritual roots, and has already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
......
Two months later.
In the sky above the cave of Yunxia Sect's third-order spirit vein, the spiritual qi of heaven and earth roared and converged like a tidal wave.
Seven days later, a few miles in circumference of the spiritual qi clouds, stable formation, heaven and earth pressure, vaguely surrounded by the rhyme of the Great Dao.
"Half-step Jindan's Jindan weather?"
This scene made many Jindan real people in the door look sideways and feel surprised.
"To achieve half-step Jindan with an upper grade spirit root is not rare."
"This man Hu Ang is worthy of being the new generation leader of the former Patriarch Hu's lineage.
"No wonder the Supreme Elder made an exception and accepted him as a disciple."
When thinking about Hu Ang's background heel, the cultivators up and down the sect accepted it naturally.
The main peak of Qingluan Peak, Lu Changan also went to the mountain gate over the JieDan weather.
He was just a little bit surprised.
The top-grade spiritual root, from the lineage of Patriarch Hu, and under the tutelage of the Yuan Ying True Monarch, it is not surprising that he has achieved such a feat.
What's more, nowadays, Yunxia Sect's qi has been steadily rising for years. "This son, perhaps he has received the gain effect of the sect's qi fortune."
Lu Chang'an secretly nodded his head.
Being the Sect's lucky star and being rooted for decades has indeed brought good luck.
A few years before Hu Ang, the Yunxia Sect gave birth to a dan cultivator named "Huadu Zhenran".
Yunxia Immortal's son and personal disciple Jiang Haoran also successfully formed the Immortal Golden Dan.
Half a day later.
The weather of conjugation in the sky dispersed smoothly.
On that day, the news that Hu Ang had formed a half-step Jindan spread throughout the clan.
Zixia True Monarch was surprised and left the gate early.
Outsiders don't know that she gave little guidance to Hu Ang's cultivation, mainly because of this son's personal fortune.
......
Half a month later, the Yunxia Sect sent out invitations and held a high-profile celebration for Hu Ang's dan completion.
The Hu Clan didn't really want to organize such a big event.
This was a deliberate act by Immortal Zixia.
The celebration of Hu Ang's completion of the dan was held in the same year as the funeral of the True Lord Yun Lan, which was a different kind of "happy ending".
Lu Chang'an was invited to attend Hu Ang's ceremony and sent a congratulatory gift.
In Yunxia Sect, Lu Chang'an and Hu's lineage are considered to be "relatives....
A year ago, Xiao Qingshan, the steward of the main peak, took Hu's Foundation Establishment female cultivator as his flat wife, enjoying the blessings of a man's wife.
Xiao Qingshan and his wife, Si Lu, love each other and have a harmonious relationship. Originally, he didn't want to have a concubine, but he didn't dare to disobey Elder Xiang's will.
Fortunately, the Taoist couple Si Lu is more considerate, and eventually cooperated with him to marry Hu's daughter, Hu Lirong.
"Elder Xiang's presence is a blessing to the humble abode."
Hu Ang welcomed Lu Changan with a smile on his face and personally entertained him into the newly relocated third-order Spirit Peak Cave Mansion.
Lu Chang'an exchanged pleasantries with Hu Ang and was arranged to be the chief of the inner hall.
The Dan celebration, the visitors from various forces, but no YuanYing true monarchs to participate, usually sent to the end of the real Dan cultivators, or false Dan real people over.
Among them, the representative of the Daewoo Royal Family, "Princess Zhiwei", is considered to be half an acquaintance of Lu Chang'an.
During the Earth Rock Rat's Transformation Ceremony back then, Yu Yuan Jin had the intention to set up a relationship between Lu Chang'an and his niece.
County Lord Zhiwei had an elegant temperament, a long court dress, long black hair, and a white veil on her face, revealing a beautiful face of national color in a hazy manner.
Among the foreigners, this woman has the most noble status and is highly respected and sought after.
However, County Head Zhiwei didn't show any respect to the several young real people around her, but only gave Lu Chang'an a high regard and took the initiative to talk to her.
This woman's knitted brows and smile, bright and vivid, elegant and absolutely beautiful, pleasing to the eye.
Lu Chang'an realized that this time, Zhiwei County Mistress has become a lot closer, and there are a lot of hints between her smiling and laughing.
For example, Lu Chang'an is married to a royal noblewoman, and will be able to get a real boost in the future in terms of key resources for tying up babies.
In addition, in the royal treasury, there were top quality puppet refining materials, and even a full set of resources for refining fourth-order puppets.
Lu Chang'an heard about this and was inevitably a little moved.
There was no denying that the conditions offered by the royal family were better than those of the Yunxia Sect.
Once he agreed, he would be able to have a royal daughter of great color and beauty, as well as a more promising future.
"In fact, there is no shortage of examples of cultivators from my royal family marrying disciples from lineages and clans. If Elder Xiang were to become a son-in-law of the royal family, it would not conflict with his current status as a Guest Elder of Yunxia Sect."
Princess Zhi Wei's dark eyes, with their bright waves of light, seemed to have tenderness and expectation in their innuendo.
She looked at the balding blue-robed young man, who used to be a bit rustic, but now the more she looked at him, the better he looked.
According to the secret information from the royal family, Elder Xiang's puppet master skills may be hidden, and is stronger than what the outside world imagines.
This person might be expected to become a quasi fourth-order or even fourth-order puppet master.
Even without the fourth-ranked Sacred Beast Earth Rock Monarch, Elder Xiang is still worth recruiting for the royal family.
At this moment, Lu Chang'an detected a vague sense of prying, coming from the discreet divine sense of a certain female True Lord.
County Head Zhiwei has a secret treasure in her hands, and she has no fear of early stage YuanYing's divine sense probing.
True Lord Zixia could not hear her voice transmission, and normal speech was unprotected. Lu Chang'an coughed softly, without transmitting her voice, and said in a low voice:
"True Monarch Zixia has known and cared for a certain family for many years, Xiang Mou has no other thoughts."
Even if the conditions offered by the royal family were better, Lu Chang'an had no thoughts of a joint marriage.
The Da Yu Royal Family, as a giant force in the Central Region, has an unfathomable strength, with more than one mid YuanYing stage.
Lu Chang'an didn't want to join such a force, it would be easy to expose his secrets....
The benefits promised by the royal family would inevitably come at a corresponding price.
On the contrary, staying in the Cloud Cloud Cloud Sect was more secure in terms of life and freedom. Moreover, True Lord Zixia had treated him well, and he and Earth Rock Monarch had been kind to him.
Lu Chang'an only needed to cultivate to the peak of Jindan in Yunxia Sect, and then he would be able to attack Yuanying, so there was no need to mess up his plans.
The Zixia True Lord, who was secretly listening, heard Lu Changan's refusal and pursed his lips slightly, feeling satisfied.
"Fellow Daoist Xiang has a reliable character and a firm Taoist heart, this True Lord really does know people well."
True Lord Zixia secretly pondered that in the future, he would have to give Elder Xiang more burdens and more generous treatment and commendations.
Lu Chang'an's rejection once again made County Head Zhi Wei's heart feel uneasy, and the white veil on her face hid her sulking displeasure.
Before the celebration was over, the royal princess left Yunxia Sect early.
The clouds outside the mountain gate.
County Lord Zhiwei sat on the magnificent cloud crown, her eyebrows knit lightly, her face showing disbelief.
Her stunning beauty and royal status, coupled with the temptation of heavy benefits, has failed to sway Xiang Dalong.
"What exactly does this Elder want? What is it about Yunxia Sect that can compare to the favorable conditions of the royal family?"
She couldn't help but murmur.
"Could it be that Xiang Dalong is interested in that Zixia Fairy...... who is so colorful and gorgeous?"
Princess Zhiwei's eyes shone brightly, as if she had found the truth in the mist.
I also found the reason for my failure.
In terms of talent, cultivation, and beauty, even if she was high-minded and proud, she was still inferior to the Purple Cloud Fairy.
The speaker has no intention to speak, but the listener has the intention to listen.
......
A few days after the ceremony.
True Lord Zixia announced the news that she had accepted Hu Ang as her official disciple, fulfilling her previous promise.
Hu Ang's talent and potential fully qualify him to become his personal disciple.
With half a step of Immortal Jindan, he has a higher hope of achieving Jindan cultivation, and will be able to hold his own in the future.
If you have enough chances and a strong will, the impact on Yuanying won't be much worse than that of Immortal Golden Dan.
When Hu Ang bowed to his master, Immortal Zixia noticed the enthusiasm in his eyes, in addition to respect, there was also a hint of hidden admiration.
The magnificent Zixia Immortal did not take this to heart.
Many young cultivators in this clan regard her as a goddess of the nine heavens, a fairy in their dreams, and there are many people who adore and aspire to her.
Even the austere Elder Xiang, who is not close to women, will occasionally show appreciation, not to mention the ordinary male cultivators.
......
This is the first time I've ever seen a man with the same name.
Lu Chang'an turned 360 years old.
"In another twenty years, he will almost be able to cultivate to the peak of Jindan."
In the cultivation room of the cave, Lu Chang'an opened his eyes, his face was stoic.
Compared to the urgency of cultivating to this stage in his second life, there was no hurry in this life.
The main reason is that he has enough life span, so there is no pressure on his time.
Even if one reaches the peak of Jindan, there is still plenty of time to polish one's realm and prepare for infancy.
What's more, Lu Chang'an had already plotted quite a few key resources for promoting to YuanYing at the late Jindan stage.
Infant Formation Spiritual Objects with superior Zi Wu Qing Feng.
The [Thunder Transformation Bead] used by the Ground Rock Rat to transform into its form, which was saved back then and can still be used after restoration.
The elixir that aids in the Heart Tribulation, Lu Changan has the Shangqing Dan that he exchanged back then, although it is not as good as the superior Heart Tribulation Thunder Infancy Spirit Item....
"Nowadays, the main lack of advanced Infant Formation Dan. The need to strengthen in terms of spiritual objects is secondary."
Without realizing it, Lu Chang'an had gathered a considerable portion of his Infant Formation resources.
He just didn't have the main medicine, but he did get two or three auxiliary medicines. It is simply unrealistic to get the Infant Transformation Pill in Yunxia Sect.
After the failure of Yun Qing Zhenren's Infant Formation, Yunxia Sect did not have a second complete Infant Formation Resource for a hundred years.
The Heavenly Infant Fruit cultivated in the clan's forbidden land is also far from ripe.
Although Zixia True Monarch has a good relationship with him, it is unlikely that she will fully support him, at most she will provide a little convenience, similar to the ground rock rats at that time.
"Wait for the puppet army formation to take shape, or for the puppet spirit to be promoted to the true fourth stage, then the strength will be strengthened to the limit, then go out and plan for the Infant Transformation Pill."
Lu Changan had his own considerations and plans for the future of Infant Formation.
With his current strength, he can also go out and gather the resources for the Infant Transformation Pill and hire someone to refine it.
But there is no need to rush.
The fact that he has enough lifespan is one thing.
Secondly, the stabilization of the Yunxia Sect is still variable.
And Lu Changan and Earth Rock Monarch are the key factors.
The Imperial Family, as a neutral force, is mainly pulling the strings.
And Yunxia Sect's hostile forces could not be this amicable.
If you want to gather the materials for the Infant Transformation Pill, and want to increase your efficiency, then you have to travel across various countries and multiple power camps, which is a long way to go, and inevitably there are some hidden dangers.
Therefore, Lu Chang'an would have to wait at least another ten years before making a decision based on the situation.
"It's strange that when that Jing Wufeng formed his infant, he didn't hear of any movement to plan the 'Infant Transformation Pill'."
Lu Changan couldn't help but think of True Lord Jing Tian.
He had Jing Wufeng's intelligence, and hadn't heard any rumors of searching for the Infant Transformation Pill.
When this happened, either Jing Wufeng was in the Ancient Pantheon and killed the Yuan Ying Elder Monster and directly got the Infant Transformation Pill, or the most crucial main drug.
Either that, or this person didn't use the Infant Transformation Pill at all.
Lu Chang'an got a rumor in the relevant memories of the Hearing Sea Pavilion.
It was said that the Infant Transformation Pill was born in the Middle Ages, and in the ancient times, there was no such Pill at all.
In the Heaven Honoring Continent, in some of the forces of the ancient heritage, there existed an alternative to the Infant Transformation Pill for advancement, which may have a better effect without the effects of the Pill's poison.
......
One year later.
Lu Changan initially repaired the damaged Assassin Puppet.
In the next ten years, the preset squad of the puppet army formation will first be put together, and positional battles can be fought around YuanYing True Lords.
On this day, the clan hall rang the alarm bell, three times in a row.
"When the bell rings three times, the sect is in certain crisis and trouble. Up to nine sounds, it is a catastrophe of extinction."
Lu Chang'an was calm and looked to the direction of the sect's council hall.
The new head of the clan, Snow Peak, convened several elders to discuss the matter, and did not disturb the Supreme Elder.
Lu Changan, as a guest elder, never interfered in the clan's affairs, and the Snow Peak Patriarch did not invite him.
Lu Changan had his own sources of information:
One is Xiao Qingshan, as an outstanding disciple cultivated by the Xiao family, he has a wide network within the sect.
The second was Wei Puppet Master who went out for training, as well as other puppet doppelgangers.
That night, Xiao Qingshan reported to Lu Changan.
"Elder Xiang, it is said that our sect's third-order spirit mine site 'Vine Ridge Mines', a few days ago, there was a fight and firefight, and the guarding middle JieDan elder was injured, losing a False Dan one person and several Foundation Establishment cultivators...... "...
"Vine Ridge Mines? It's the third-order spirit mine that's in dispute with the Ye family?"
Lu Changan frowned slightly, feeling that this matter was not simple.
The Vine Ridge Mine, the highest grade spirit mine industry under the name of Yunxia Sect, contributed many raw materials for refining magic treasures.
The rarest of them, the mother-of-pearl essence, could even be used to refine YuanYing level magic treasures.
Over the years, Zixia True Monarch has been raising her cultivation level, seeking to acquire the best magic treasures in order to become a veteran YuanYing as soon as possible.
Vine Ridge Mine, belonging to the controversial minerals, is at the edge of Yunxia Sect's power, and is also close to the Ye Family.
The Tie Clan, an Immortal Cultivation Family affiliated with the Yunxia Sect, was the first to discover and excavate this spiritual mine, and has been secretly excavating it for many years.
Later, the Yunxia Sect discovered this and cooperated with the Tie Clan to develop the spiritual vein and mine, and reached a private share.
Naturally, the Yunxia Sect took the lion's share of the distribution, holding 90% of the benefits. This matter left behind conflicts, hidden dangers.
A senior member of the Tie Clan was not convinced and defected to the neighboring Ye Clan.
This gave the Ye Clan the opportunity to intervene and gain 30% of the proceeds.
The Ye family is one of the four major immortal cultivation families in Da Yu.
However, the royal family had temporarily suppressed the Ye family in order to bring in the Yunxia Sect, which had defected to them.
At that time, the Ye Family was in a weaker period, so they endured this matter, received some compensation from the Yunxia Sect, and did not continue to cause trouble.
These years, the Ye Family has entered a strong period again, with two veteran Yuanying, and both are in their prime.
On the other hand, the Yunxia Sect has lost its oldest YuanYing, YunLan ZhenJun.
Zixia Immortal's fighting skills are inferior, and Earth Rock Monarch is a newly promoted Demon King, all of them are not as good as the veteran YuanYing.
Under the support of the Ye family, a part of the split Tie Clan members have set up their own families, giving birth to Dandan real people, who are much stronger.
The Iron Clan, which belongs to the Ye Clan's sphere of influence, wants to take over the Iron Clan's territory on the Yunxia Sect's side, including the spirit mine assets that were lost back then.
"Historical legacy, complicated disputes."
Lu Changan made a slight projection and realized that there was a promoter behind this matter, and there was a higher-order Divining Heavenly Curtain to cover it up.
Essentially, this was a game between the Ye Clan and the Yunxia Sect.
Nowadays, the Ye Clan is strong and the Yunxia Sect is weak, so the situation is different from what it was back then.
The Ye Clan wants to reclaim the disputed spirit mine benefits, or at least get a share of the pie.
......
The next morning.
Lu Chang'an was summoned by True Lord Zixia's law and went to Zixia Peak's cave.
The main hall of the cave.
The Zixia Immortal's face contained a sulk, and her YuanYing True Lord's magic power rose and fell, emitting a monstrous wave of oppression.
In this female True Lord, Lu Chang'an felt a murderous aura for the first time, the pair of magnificent starry eyes, the stern and icy gaze, as if it could freeze a person.
Zixia Zhenjun calmed down her emotions and looked towards the Jiedan Elder who has a very good relationship and whose strength is second only to her own.
Her starry eyes softened a bit, and she said:
"Elder Xiang, this time the Vine Ridge mine fight, the third-order formation was broken, a number of high-quality third-order spirit ore was looted. Behind the scenes, it is suspected that there is a mysterious JieDan great cultivator involved, otherwise, as the defending side, it is impossible for the Sect's cultivators to easily lose the battle and suffer such heavy losses."
