Chapter 368 The Last Ten Years
Chapter 370 The Last Ten Years (Leave on the 9th)
"...... As long as Senior Sister is able to do so, she can allow you!"
Lu Chang'an felt that there seemed to be some kind of hidden hint in the words.
He glanced at Zixia Zhenjun, with a reserved and dignified demeanor, still the unattainable and graceful Supreme Elder.
Lu Chang'an did not want to think too much and followed his heart:
"Nowadays, I'm not short of money, and I'm not short of means to protect the Way, but the only thing that I haven't gotten together yet is the baby-forming material. If the clan has the relevant reserves, I hope that Senior Sister Jiang will fulfill it."
Upon hearing this, Zixia True Monarch looked straight into Lu Chang'an's eyes, sensing his resolute Dao heart.
While she appreciated it, she sighed in her heart, and a trace of indescribable disappointment and frustration welled up.
Just now, her subtle attraction and disclosure should have been detected by those who were attentive.
If Elder Xiang had any admiration for her, or had any "unsportsmanlike thoughts", he should have at least hesitated. However, Elder Xiang didn't hesitate at all and was directly about to cash in on the resources for Infant Formation.
"How is Senior Brother Xiang's preparation for infancy, and what kind of infancy materials do you need at the moment?"
True Lord Zixia's face was calm, but he did abide by his credibility.
"The main thing that is lacking is progression materials, the main medicine for the Infant Transformation Pill. Infant Formation Spirit Material, Heart Tribulation Protecting Product master brother has spare, but it is not top quality, barely make do."
Lu Chang'an's description was hidden.
The Infant Formation Spirit Item [Zi Wu Qing Feng] that he possesses is of the highest quality and was obtained from Old Man Tian Luo.
The Heartjack Protecting Pin, which was nominally exchanged for the Ground Rock Rats back then [Upper Clearing Dan], was saved as a backup.
The auxiliary medicine of the Infant Transformation Dan, these years, either explicitly or implicitly collected, the clan exchange, put together most of it.
The three main medicines of the Infant Transformation Pill were monopolized by the YuanYing powers, and Lu Chang'an didn't have any for the time being.
Technically speaking, Lu Changan had an uncashed [Heavenly Infant Fruit], which was the first of the three main medicines.
Back then, before leaving Da Qing and the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, Lu Changan told Wang Feng, the helmsman of the new Li Fire Palace, about the secret treasury of the Tian Luo Sect, including the whereabouts of the [Heavenly Infant Fruit] clue.
At that time, Lu Chang'an was being tracked by the "Green Wood Monarch", and it would take at least a hundred years for the "Heavenly Infant Fruit" to mature, so it was too late to plan.
Therefore, he sold Wang Feng a favor, gave the blood beads tracking things, let it on behalf of the work, for himself first "keep" this [Heavenly Infant Fruit].
After arriving at the Great Abyss, Lu Changan had divined that because of the death of the Tian Luo Ancestor, it would be less difficult for him to find the "Heavenly Infant Fruit", and the probability was that it would be obtained by Wang Feng of the Leaving Fire Palace.
True Lord Zixia murmured, "In our clan's secret inner treasury, there is a mature Infant Formation Main Pill [Moonfall Flower], you are permitted to redeem it with the clan's contribution."
Lu Chang'an's heart rejoiced, this commendation was sincere, not perfunctory.
The so-called "private treasury" is different from the clan's treasury, it should be the clan's treasured reserves that Immortal Zixia holds privately and does not disclose to the public.
"Dare to ask senior sister, this plant [Moonfall Flower], how much contribution is needed to exchange."
Lu Changan inquired.
"According to the sect's ancestral tradition, the core resource for promoting YuanYing is only redeemable by the true direct lineage of the sect. Therefore, for the 80,000 contributions of [Moonfall Flower], you have to pay the full amount without discount, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public."
Immortal Zixia's exception at this moment was considered a decision that went against the ancestral tradition.
If True Lord Yun Lan was there, he would definitely be firmly against it....
"Eighty thousand contributions? Senior brother will try his best to gather it all."
Lu Chang'an took the good with the bad.
The threshold of 80,000 contributions was indeed high, but he didn't lack money, and it wasn't difficult to obtain contributions.
This time, when he guarded the mines and killed the enemy, he was rewarded with contributions from the clan.
The rest of the contribution can be deducted by the puppet.
You don't need to use fine puppets, but it is only a matter of time to refine new puppets from third-order puppets, or from scraps of material.
......
True Lord Zixia stayed at the mine for less than half an hour before departing back to Yunxia Sect.
Lu Chang'an continued to guard the Vine Ridge Mining Site, intending to stay here for a few more years.
The mine is paid in contributions and ores every year, and it is easy to obtain puppet materials.
When the puppet army formation is successfully constructed and 80,000 contributions are gathered, Lu Changan will return to Yunxia Sect.
After half a year, Lu Chang'an turned 362 years old.
In the past year, the fame of his fight in the mine had spread throughout the Da Yu Kingdom.
Certain cultivators have privately rumored that Elder Xiang is the first Pillar Cultivator in Da Yu Kingdom.
The Da Yu Kingdom has a lot of great Pillar Cultivators, and in this era, there is no conclusion as to who is the first Pillar Cultivator.
The main reason is that there is no one of a kind.
The last recognized first pandan cultivator was the "Tianyuan Sword Monarch" before he was promoted to Yuanyin, that is, the royal family's Yu Yuanjin.
Lu Chang'an was not interested in this kind of fame, and he could vaguely sense that someone was behind this kind of talk.
Luckily, for the time being, no JieDan cultivator has come to challenge him for this kind of fame.
Late JieDan cultivators are at least two to three hundred years old. In order to advance to Yuanying, they compete and plan, and work their hearts out, so how can they have so much leisure? Unless there is a profit motive, otherwise high-level cultivators will not do this kind of shallow, childish things.
When Lu Changan's reputation rose, bad news came from Yunxia Sect.
Yunxia Sect's arch-enemy "Great Snake Mountain", however, the whole sect celebrated, ushering in a great good news.
The Great Serpent Mountain has given birth to a new YuanYing True Lord!
"True Monarch Red Refinement, specializes in refining poisons and has been dealing with poisons for many years. Before he was promoted to YuanYing, he was the number one poison master of Great Snake Mountain."
Lu Chang'an quickly learned the information about the newly promoted YuanYing of Great Serpent Mountain.
For hundreds of years, no new YuanYing cultivator had been born in Great Snake Mountain, and from the time span, it seemed to be a normal turnover of inheritance.
The outside world is more surprised that the promoted person will be "Red Lian True Monarch", previously known as Red Lian Zhen Zhen Zhen.
The reason is that this person is not the best qualified among the competitors, and he is also older in age.
It is said that the age of the Red Lian True Monarch when he was promoted to YuanYing was 377 years old.
The average age of a promoter from a YuanYing sect is around 300 years old.
Some Heavenly Spiritual Roots, along with the sect's resources, even successfully promoted to YuanYing at the age of two hundred and tens of years.
The age of three hundred is considered the prime of a true dan practitioner, just like the prime of a mortal.
After all, immortal cultivators are not true immortals who live in the same place as heaven and earth, and their mortal bodies are not able to fully exempt themselves from the natural laws of birth, old age, sickness, and death.
After the age of 350, the chances of forming a baby will decline significantly.
After the age of four hundred, there is little hope.
Outsiders speculated that Red Lian Zhengen's ability to ascend to YuanYing might have something to do with Red Serpent Zhengen's harvest of chance in the Ancient Pantheon.
The last time the Ancient Pantheon was opened, it was extraordinary, with more chances and even the appearance of spiritual treasures....
The YuanYing cultivators who survived the battle game had more or less some opportunities.
The heaven and earth are full of strange spiritual treasures, perhaps the harvest of the Red Snake True Lord is more suitable for the poison refining technique, so it was chosen for the then Red Lian Zhen Zhen.
There is also another theory: the Red Snake True Monarch's talent in refining poisons is outstanding, and he has made great achievements in the past, formulating the fourth-stage poison, so he was given preferential treatment in terms of resources.
"It's a bit interesting, the age at which True Monarch Red Snake impacted YuanYing is close to the age this True Lord expects."
Lu Chang'an was also surprised.
After all, this person is not practicing a life-supporting technique, but instead a poisonous technique that can easily break his life.
Other than that, Lu Chang'an had little feeling for the newly promoted YuanYing of Great Serpent Mountain.
Zixia True Monarch would definitely have a headache and feel the pressure.
Great Serpent Mountain's Red Serpent True Lord, as a veteran YuanYing, was stronger than her.
The Red Phenomenon Serpent King of the sect, having survived even longer, was rumored to be stronger than the Red Serpent True Lord.
Now there is another newly promoted YuanYing who specializes in refining poison.
From this point onwards, the sect strength of Great Snake Mountain has fully surpassed Yunxia Sect.
......
In the blink of an eye, Lu Changan had been guarding the mine for another five years.
Since the defeat of the Ye Clan's invaders, the operation of the Vine Ridge Mining Site no longer required a JieDan cultivator to personally guard it.
It was a waste for the clan to have to pay more salaries.
However, Lu Chang'an was relying on not leaving, and the Yunxia Sect was not in a good position to mobilize him.
Fortunately, Lu Chang'an finally built the planned puppet army formation completely at the age of 368.
The puppet army formation consisted of four third-order top-grade puppets and twelve third-order middle-grade puppets.
A total of sixteen puppets, formed into a military formation, puppet power fusion into formation power, fighting positional battles can withstand the early stage of the YuanYing attack.
Of course, the limitations of the puppet army formation are only suitable for fighting positional battles or defensive counterattacks, lacking the mobility of a YuanYing True Lord.
YuanYing cultivators can come and go whenever they want, the puppet army formation can't restrict them from fighting positional battles.
However, if the foreign spirit peacock is used as the core to pull the entire puppet formation, this problem can be solved to a certain extent.
The strength of the Alien Spirit Peacock exceeded that of an ordinary Quasi-Fourth Order Puppet, and once it was integrated into the Puppet Formation, its power could be greatly increased.
Since there is no place to test it, it is hard to say the exact strength.
However, Lu Changan still had some confidence in defeating True Lord Zixia with the Puppet Army Formation centered on the Alien Spirit Peacock. After completing the Puppet Army Formation, Lu Chang'an had exhausted his third-order puppet refining materials over the years, and had even recycled some of the materials from the magic treasure trophies for this purpose.
It was worth it to spend a huge amount of resources and reap the rewards.
Nowadays, even without the Earth Rock Monarch by his side, and without the need for the Fourth Descent, Lu Chang'an was able to fight against the Yuan Ying True Lords by relying on his puppetry skills alone.
"Eighty thousand contributions have also been gathered, so I can return to the clan to exchange for the Infant Transformation Pill Master Pill."
Lu Changan let out a long breath.
After sitting in the Vine Ridge Mines for all these years, he had achieved results beyond expectations.
From now on, his entire focus will be on preparing for Infant Formation.
......
A few days later, Lu Changan was successfully transferred back to Yunxia Sect, and the Vine Ridge Mine was guarded by another middle Jiedan stage.
After returning to the sect, the first thing Lu Changan did was not to visit the Earth Rock Monarch, but to pay a visit to the Zixia True Monarch. Nor was it to show respect, but to exchange [Moonfall Flower] as soon as possible.
If you are late, things will change....
Even if [Moonfall Flower] was the least valuable of the three main medicines of the Infant Transformation Pill, it was still a strategic resource monopolized by the First Infant Sect.
As the main medicine for infancy formation, the difference between it and the auxiliary medicine is that when taken directly by a cultivator, it can at least slightly increase the chances of advancing to the YuanYing stage.
Among them, the [Heavenly Infant Fruit] is the most effective, while the other two main medicines, [Milo Grass] and [Moonfall Flower], are much less effective, and only have a weak effect on infancy when taken directly.
The Purple Haze Peak Cave.
After waiting for a few moments, Lu Changan met with True Lord Zixia.
The purple color of her dress was different from the previous one.
Jiang Ziyan today changed into a homey white veil plain skirt, wet hair, such as cloud fluff spilling down. Just out of the bath, Zixia Fairy creamy white skin, moist through red, chest full of curvature, and white veil skirt close to the silhouette of the hidden.
Lu Chang'an bowed to meet the salute, restrained his gaze, to avoid the intention of offense.
In his heart, he recalled his concubine Guan Qiaozhi, who wore a similar dress to seduce him in Huanglong Immortal City.
Could it be that this Zixia Fairy, whose beauty is widely known in the Central Region, has some plans for herself?
Lu Chang'an's mind is spinning, he must protect himself when he is far away from the foreign land.
Luckily, Zixia Fairy was just showing her charm, behaving in a dignified manner, and did not overstep the etiquette of the movement.
When she learned of Lu Chang'an's intention, True Monarch Zixia transmitted her voice and ordered her to go on.
Not long after, the handsome Hu Ang, from the garden of the cave forbidden place, to take a flow of silver moon under the flower plant.
The [Moon Falling Flower] is planted year-round in the spiritual field of the fourth-order spiritual vein to maintain activity, and it is impossible for True Lord Zixia to carry it with her all the time.
This level of spirit medicine, without a fourth-order spirit vein, is not easy to survive and grows extremely slowly.
In a fourth rank spirit vein, a thousand years can mature; in a lower spirit vein medicinal field, it would take several times, or even ten times longer.
Therefore, even if ordinary forces and cultivators obtain the seeds, it is difficult to cultivate them.
Hu Ang?
Lu Chang'an couldn't help but be a little surprised to see this person, even though he was a personal disciple of True Lord Zixia.
True Lord Zixia handed Lu Changan the [Moonfall Flower] and explained with a smile:
"The spiritual plant disciple who used to take care of the cave's medicinal field is old, it just so happens that Xiao Ang is slightly versed in pharmacology and spiritual plants, he took the initiative to ask for help, and I didn't expect to take care of it well."
"I see, little ang versatile, is a rare good seedling."
Lu Changan put away the [Moonfall Flower] and praised it.
Hu Ang entered the main hall of the cave, and his eyelids slightly jumped when he spotted the white gauze skirt and hazy charm of the True Lord Zixia.
He knew that his wife was a dignified and reserved female cultivator, and almost never wore this kind of sexy and hazy attire.
When he saw the [Moonfall Flower], handed over to Xiang Dalong, Hu Ang was greatly dissatisfied.
Little Ang?
Hearing Xiang Da Long's name, Hu Ang was shocked and furious, but he didn't dare to show it.
And he had to try his best to suppress his emotions to avoid being sensed.
"Elder Xiang praises you too much."
Hu Ang squeezed out a smile on his face, with his status and position, it was not suitable for him to stay longer, he bowed and retreated in a wise manner. Leaving the main hall of the cave, Hu Ang took a deep breath and suppressed the gloom in his heart.
"With Zi Yan's character, she should not betray this True Lord!"
"Now that the Great Serpent Mountain is powerful and adjacent to the threat, the royal family is not harboring good intentions. Zi Yan can't support herself alone, so it's understandable that she would stoop to her level and draw Xiang Dalong in as a sign of closeness."...
After rationally analyzing the situation, Hu Ang understood the pain of the Dao Couple, and the anger in his heart dissipated for the most part.
"Fortunately, this great dragon is dedicated to bitter cultivation, profit-oriented, not close to women."
......
After redeeming the [Moonfall Flower], Zixia True Monarch moved to mention something, related to Earth Rock Monarch.
"Senior Sister had brought a few third-order spirit rats with good bloodline for Earth Rock Monarch as a companion to amuse her loneliness."
"However, Earth Rock Monarch has never conceived an heir in the past few years, and several renowned doctors were brought in to examine them, and no physical symptoms were found."
Third-order spirit rats with a good bloodline can be rare. True Monarch Zixia had half of them on loan through her clan's connections.
The Earth Rock Rat was promoted to a fourth-order Demon King, and the mutated bloodline it possesses is precious.
True Lord Zixia didn't do this simply for the sake of breeding and obtaining an excellent spirit rat bloodline.
If the bloodline can give birth to an heir, it will enhance the sense of belonging of the ground rock rats to the sect.
What made Jiang Ziyan depressed was.
The Earth Rock Monarch did not reject the companionship of spirit rats and milked those male spirit rats dry, each one avoiding them. However, Earth Rock Monarch never conceived an heir, which was a huge disappointment.
"This is not at the command of Senior Brother. For the past three hundred years, before coming to the Great Abyss, Earth Rock Monarch has always been like this."
Lu Chang'an smiled and said truthfully.
Zhou Qingxuan of the Imperial Beast Zhou Clan had said that this behavior of the Earth Rock Rats was most likely influenced by the subtle influence of their masters.
"The fact that both of your master and pet do not leave heirs is rare in the Immortal Cultivation World."
Zixia True Monarch pursed her lips and laughed lightly, snickering and not dwelling on the matter.
The two of them were chatting at the same time.
Hoo hoo!
A mass of violent flying sand, emitting a huge earth-devil aura, wrapped around the half-demon rat-like Earth Rock Monarch, arriving at the Purple Cloud Peak.
The Earth Rock Monarch is wearing a purple-red robe, and compared to his robust figure many years ago, his face has rounded out a bit, and his figure has also become a bit fat.
"Master has returned."
Seeing Lu Chang'an, Earth Rock Monarch was in a joyful mood and made a human voice like a half-grown child.
"Grown a lot fatter, have you been lazy in your cultivation?"
Lu Changan smiled and patted the Earth Rock Monarch's head.
Earth Rock Monarch was about the same height as him, and when he saw Lu Changan reaching out, he cooperated by bowing his head and looking a little vain.
Compared to his previous diligent cultivation, Earth Rock Monarch, as a Sacred Beast of the Zhen Zong Clan, was served by others and had no shortage of resources, so his life was too comfortable.
Although his cultivation has not slackened, it is not as grueling as it was back then.
Lu Chang'an had no problem with this.
The Earth Rock Monarch's ascension to the rank of Demon King of Transformation is already a miracle due to many fortuitous chances.
Its bloodline qualifications have been drained to the extreme, and even if it tries harder, it will be difficult for it to cross over to a higher realm.
After so many years of hard work, it is not wrong to enjoy it appropriately now.
......
"Senior Sister Jiang, after coming back this time, Senior Brother plans to go out and travel far in the future, going to various parts of the Central Domain and plotting other resources for infant formation."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Changan revealed his future plans in advance so that Zixia True Monarch could make arrangements.
"How many more years will it take for you to cultivate to the peak of JieDan?"
True Lord Zixia couldn't help but look at Lu Chang'an.
"About ten years or so."
Lu Changan knew his own cultivation progress very well and expected to be around 380 years old, cultivating to the peak of the late Jindan stage....
True Lord Zixia counted the time and proposed:
"Two years from now, it will be time for Cloud Sky City's once every ten years auction, which will again bring together YuanYing cultivators from all over the Central Region. If Senior Brother Xiang is not in a hurry, he can go with Senior Sister at that time, and I believe that he will be able to gain something."
"Yun Tian City's once every ten years auction, senior brother is just what I want." Lu Chang'an readily agreed.
Twenty to thirty years ago, he went to Cloud Sky City for the first time and traded in the YuanYing exchange to get the Transformation Tribulation Treasure.
This created the conditions for the successful transformation of the ground rock rat.
At that time, Lu Chang'an was not strong enough to make a high profile at the auction, and his harvest was average.
Now, Lu Chang'an's strength and status had risen dramatically, and going to Cloud Sky City again, he had a better chance of obtaining resources for infancy formation than any other place.
Moreover, Cloud Sky City was also the location where Lu Chang'an liaised with Jing Wufeng.
......
After returning to Yunxia Sect, Lu Changan meditated and practiced for another two years.
Except for the occasional talisman drawing and divination, puppetry and body refining were temporarily put on hold.
For the puppet, the materials were exhausted and there wasn't much room for improvement.
Body Refinement has remained at the peak of the third stage for many years, and there is no way to advance.
Due to the environment of heaven and earth, it is much more difficult to advance to the fourth stage of body refining than it is to form a baby.
In the case of Infant Formation, one can still seek external items such as the Infant Formation Pill and the Treasure of the Evisceration.
The treasures of heaven and earth that are necessary for body refining to advance to the fourth stage are almost extinct in this day and age.
The only heaven and earth treasure material that Lu Changan had on hand that could help him advance to the fourth stage of body refining was the Blood Dragon Fruit, but it was not enough.
This is still the compensation given by Jing Wufeng after he came out of the Ancient Pantheon.
Therefore, the promotion of body refining to the fourth stage can only be left to the future after achieving the YuanYing, and may not be able to do so.
"Three hundred and eighty years old, there are still ten years left."
On this day, Lu Chang'an finished his routine cultivation and felt that the Evergreen Mana in his body was vaguely approaching the limit of the Jindan Stage.
On that very day, Zixia True Lord's Divine Sense transmitted a message that the two of them were ready to depart for Cloud Sky City, the number one Immortal City in the Central Region.
"I hope that this trip to Cloud Sky City will result in progress."
Lu Chang'an muttered and flew out of his cave.
He had gathered all the various types of resources for baby formation.
In the last ten years, he planned to gather the rest to ensure that when he reached the peak of Jindan, he would be able to attack the Yuanying stage at any time.
