Chapter 376 The Path of Yuan Ying (III)
Chapter 378 - The Road to Yuan Ying (III)
The Sang Country is located at the border of the Great Abyss Central Region, and there is a YuanYing Sect power in that country that is ruled by two Early YuanYing.
Due to the "lucky star" divination, Lu Chang'an slowed down the speed of his travels in this place.
It was about half a month.
As a traveling merchant, Lu Chang'an received his first mission.
The Green Vine Mountain Range, with dozens of spiritual veins, is dotted with large and small Immortal Cultivation Clans.
Between the rugged and winding mountain roads.
A middle-aged merchant with a yellowish complexion, carrying a large box and cage, is dusty.
On his left and right sides are a green-armored guard and an unassuming yellow-haired dog.
Wang!
The earth dog at his feet, suddenly called out softly, looking at the other side of the hill.
The sound of breaking air whistles.
A ten feet five long magic weapon spirit boat, shaking from the sky swept past.
"Father, there are still twenty miles to go before we reach the Black Sand Market."
On the spirit boat, Tao Wenjun was half-kneeling, her face pale, her magic power gradually failing as she maneuvered the flying boat under her feet.
"Wenjun, don't hold on. At the sixth level of Qi Refining, you are barely able to control a top quality flying boat. When we reach the marketplace, you only need to convey the message......"
Tao's father opened his eyes with great difficulty, the hall of the seal was black and blue, and his breath was like a thread, explaining the aftermath of the incident.
Tao Wenjun eyes with tears, magic power and divine sense close to the limit, the speed of the flying boat is getting slower and slower, the rocking is more obvious, at any time to fall like.
Tao Wenjun clenched her teeth, and was about to force her blood, when out of the corner of her eye she glanced at the traveling merchants in the mountains below.
As if she had grabbed a straw to save her life, she was delighted and maneuvered her flying boat towards the middle-aged merchant.
"Elder, do you have any healing pills for sale?"
Tao Wenjun landed on the ground with the flying boat, her plump body was unsteady, her temples were messy, she wanted to get up and salute, but she fell down and knelt on the ground powerlessly.
"Wenjun, do not be gullible......"
Tao father is disturbed by the sight of the unfamiliar trio of traveling merchants. At this moment, the two of them have almost lost their means of protection, and if they were to encounter an outlaw......
Tao Wenjun also realized this, his heart was cold.
Poof!
At this time, Tao's father spat out a mouthful of black and blue blood and fainted. Lu Changan glanced at the beautiful and charming, pale and helpless young woman and stepped forward to investigate Tao's father's injuries.
"The internal organs are heavily damaged, the evil qi is entangled in the body, and the divine essence is deficient......"
Lu Changan slightly pondered, from the back box cage (large storage bag) took out a goat fat porcelain bottle.
"This is the Second Order Upper Grade Rejuvenation Pill."
He first fed the healing elixir to Tao's father, and then stretched out his palm, which was flowing with emerald green aura, and patted on his back.
Soon, a cold and dark mist floated up from Tao Father's body.
Waiting for a few more moments, Tao father, who had taken the Rejuvenation Pill, turned around quite a bit, and his heartbeat was stable, escaping from the danger of his life.
"Many thanks to senior to save, concubine......"
Tao Wenjun's tense heart finally relieved, face with gratitude, long worship a salute.
Through the rescue just now, she could see that this traveling merchant was a Foundation Establishment Stage master, and was proficient in the medical path and pharmacology.
Otherwise, with just a second-order elixir, it would not have been possible to stabilize Tao's father's condition so quickly.
"It's alright, I'm just a traveling merchant who happens to be here. The girl only needs to pay for the cost of the elixir and the treatment of her injuries, an equal trade."
Lu Chang'an waved his hand and said humbly......
Tao Wenjun was stunned, looking at the middle-aged traveling merchant with a waxy face and a shrewd smile, the aura of a superior person in his heart invisibly broke.
She pursed her lower lip, swallowed the words of gratitude in her mouth such as "I can't return the favor, I would like to be a cow or a horse in the next life, and I would like to be a grass-carrying ring......".
Then, in the business of business.
Tao Wenjun took out the spirit stones, valuable magic weapons and pills from his storage bag, but he showed a bitter and difficult expression.
The exorcism treatment by the Foundation Stage Physician, coupled with the second-order top-grade elixir, she and her father's storage bag were emptied of their supplies and could not even compensate for it.
Tao Wenjun almost stripped off her dress to offset some of the spirit stones, but it still wasn't enough.
"Elder Lu, if we add this flying boat, will it be enough to cover the cost."
At the critical moment, Tao father woke up and said in a bitter tone.
"May."
Lu Chang'an nodded his head, although it was only a First Order Upper Grade Flying Boat, its value was quite a bit higher than that of a similarly ranked magic weapon.
Tao Wenjun wanted to say something, this leaf flying boat is not owned by father and daughter, but is a family asset.
Due to the family's misfortune, her father took her to run away and asked for help. The attack on the boat was a dangerous one.
After the transaction, Lu Chang'an patted the dust on his body and prepared to leave.
"I implore you to come to the aid of my Tao family. After this is accomplished, my clan's Foundation Establishment Ancestor will be grateful."
Tao's father, assisted by his daughter, bowed and pleaded.
"I've disappointed you both. As a traveling merchant, although Mister Lu will undertake some trading commissions, he does not participate in the fights between various forces."
Lu Chang'an apologized and politely refused.
"Elder Lu! This crisis of our clan is not a family dispute, but a demon lurking within the clan that erupted in the clan's forbidden land and wreaked havoc. And coincided with hostile evil cultivators, taking advantage of the fire to rob......"
Tao father explained sharply.
......
"Oh? Demons lurking?"
Lu Chang'an had thought it was an ordinary trading commission, but he didn't realize that things weren't simple.
Back then, when he used the teleportation channel and arrived at the forbidden land of the Great Abyss Central Region, Lu Chang'an had encountered some demonized demonic creatures.
Including the Demonized Stoneheart Dragon that he had once hunted, which was also considered one of them.
In the Great Abyss Immortal Cultivation Realm, especially the Central Domain, demons were not unfamiliar.
The root of all of this came from the ancient forbidden land in the Central Region, the Endless Demon Abyss at its center, which had once sealed many demonic giants.
Every few years, the Endless Demon Abyss would leak out a tide of demons, and some demons would escape from it, causing chaos in the Abyss.
It is said that before Immortal Zixia and True Lord Yun Lan became a couple, the senior brother who was once in love with her died in the demonic chaos in the Central Region.
"The demon that appeared in the Tao Family, what kind of cultivation aura is it?"
Lu Changan's tone was cautious, asking for the specific reason.
"The demonic creature's aura is stronger than the average Foundation Establishment stage, it should be less than the JieDan stage. However, that demonic creature doesn't have more than one head, or else our clan has a protective formation and two Foundation Establishment ancestors, which wouldn't have brought about the extinction of the clan." Tao father recalled and pondered.
He retained an uncertain detail, when he left, the demonic creature that was ravaging the clan seemed to be in the midst of a climb in its aura.
"Alright, you two stay here, Mister Lu will go over and take a look."
Lu Changan made a slight projection that the Tao family's demons should be remnants of history.
It is difficult to get rid of all the demons in the past, so there are some remnants that remain, which belong to the unseasonable demons and ghosts......
This kind of situation happens occasionally in the Central Region.
In addition, on the eve of the demonic tide, the lurking remnants of demons in various places will also be ready to move.
Lu Changan simply stepped into the flying boat he had just traded and headed to the Tao Family's land.
In between the clouds, Lu Changan tried to project the next demonic upheaval, but the heavenly chances were blurred, perhaps because the medium of information was not enough.
"It shouldn't be."
Lu Chang'an thought darkly, "In the past, most of the demonic calamities in the Central Region occurred around a year after the opening of the Ancient Pantheon."
Many high-ranking cultivators speculated that the Demon Scourge might be related to the Ancient Pantheon.
Because, every time the Ancient Pantheon opens the entrance ticket to enter requires the payment of magic crystals.
A great cultivator of the First Infant once warned the cultivators of the Central Region that exchanging magic crystals to enter the Ancient Hall of Secrets may bring uncontrollable and unknown risks to the Demon Abyss in the forbidden land of the Central Region.
In the face of the lure of the Ancient Hall of Piety, the various powers in the Central Region did not take it to heart.
For one thing, every time the Central Region experienced a demonic rebellion, it was generally controllable, and some rare materials would be brought in during the disaster. Those who escaped the devil, the strongest often does not exceed the middle of the fourth stage, and the disposition to kill, the spirit is slightly inferior to the same level of cultivators.
Secondly, every time a demon is in trouble, the top-level YuanYing monarchs rarely fall, but mainly the Jiedan and the middle and lower-level cultivators have more discounts.
Even though in some years, the demons were so powerful that they fled all over the place, radiating to all the major regions of the Great Abyss, which was shared by the entire Great Abyss Immortal Cultivation Realm.
......
A few moments later, Lu Changan arrived at the Tao family land, and indeed sensed three strands of demonic aura.
The Tao family's second-order formation was in a state of disrepair, and the cultivators were either killed or injured, or had fled.
The demons had green faces and fangs, their limbs resembled jackals and wolves, and their auras were dazzling. The strongest of them is approaching the Pseudo-dan level.
After the killings, these demons wandered around the clan land, searching for the scent of survivors in the ruins of the buildings.
"It doesn't seem to be a pure demonic scent."
Lu Chang'an took a quick look and felt that the demonic aura contained a strong curse and grudge yin, which made people's souls tremble and feel uneasy.
Wang!
The yellow-haired big dog under his feet, with a layer of earthy yellow halo swirling around its fur, passed through the nearby mountains, merged into the earth, and disappeared.
Whew!
Soon, a yellow sandstorm rose from the Tao family's land.
The three demons sensed something and fled in terror, but were soon wrapped in yellow sand, petrified and unable to move.
After a burst of ghostly cries and wails, it came to an abrupt end.
The flying sand rolled into the sky.
Lu Chang'an received the three mottled cores and noticed the eerie ghostly aura that entwined them.
"Ghost Dao aura? Could it be that behind this demon, there is another real culprit......."
Lu Chang'an's face did not fluctuate, letting the green-armored guards exterminate the several evil cultivators who were secretly hibernating and spying nearby.
At this time, the Earth Rock Monarch's side has gained something, he smelled something through the hidden ghost qi.
After a few hours of work.
The Earth Rock Monarch had disappeared a hundred miles underground and went deep into a dark underground mine.
This cave is so deep that it has been excavated for hundreds of years, and is a vein of mines left behind by the Tao family and its previous owners.
In the depths of the mine, there are white bones buried, and the Yin Qi is thick with grievances, with ghost fires floating around.
"Third-ranked demonic dog, how dare you beat and kill this seat's men!"
In the abandoned mining materials, a silver-white skeleton frame burning ghost fire of ghost purple, issued a shocking and ear-piercing stern cry......
This ghost exudes the pressure of ghost qi, just like to reach the peak of the middle third stage, close to the JieDan cultivator, just a little unstable. "This is very good, this seat just lacks a third-order ghost pet!"
The silver and white skeleton stood up, the purple ghost flame around his body swelled, transformed into a ten feet tall ghost spirit, each arm holding a bronze ghost weapon.
Swish!
The dog demon at the beginning of the third stage in the distance transformed into a residual shadow that was difficult to capture with the divine sense, and expanded several times in the pupil of the eye in a split second.
"No!"
A great terrifying aura of demonic power caused the silver-white skeleton's ghostly flames to flutter and howl in terror.
"Yikes! A fourth-ranked demon king, surprisingly--"
The ten feet high surging ghost spirit flame, instantly shrinking broken; silver and white skeleton frame was a bushel of sharp claws captured, and then came the "click" crunching sound.
A few moments later.
A middle-aged merchant arrived at the same place silently.
The claws of the earthy yellow dog confined a dull purple fire residual soul, like a flickering candlelight.
At its feet is a pile of broken bones, including two ghost magic treasure, a rusty storage bracelet.
"A third-order ghost cultivator with spatial storage props, his origin seems to be not simple."
Lu Changan received the loot presented by the earthy yellow big dog.
Apart from the Ghost Dao magic treasures, there were also some items in the storage bracelet, but most of them had lost their spirituality due to unknown reasons.
In addition, there were also a few jade slips that recorded the inheritance of the Ghost Dao.
One of them was a complete Ghost Dao technique called the Five Spells and Grudges Scripture, which required the collection of grudges and spirits to increase the power of the Ghost Dao and spells.
"Such a harvest, but it is not worthy of the auspicious omen of the 'Fortunate Star'."
Lu Chang'an's face did not fluctuate as he put away the trophies and spatial storage props.
This kind of harvest has been encountered in previous years of traveling, and is not considered rare.
At his level, any harvest that could be considered a good chance would have to be at least a YuanYing level opportunity resource.
Afterwards, Lu Changan searched the soul of this lurking ghost cultivator.
"Surprisingly, it's a ghost cultivator who has not long changed cultivation......."
Searching the soul of a ghost cultivator was much more difficult, Lu Changan couldn't get a complete memory, but he did know the general history of the other party.
This ghost cultivator was a late-stage True Dan cultivator of the Sang Kingdom's Yuanying sect in his lifetime, and had failed to form a baby once.
Due to the limitations of his qualifications, he failed in the first step of "shattering the dan and transforming into a baby", but he was lucky to save his life and most of his cultivation.
After he had no hope of becoming a baby, he defected from the clan and switched to the Ghost Dao Technique that he had captured.
The Ghost Dao technique that he practiced came from the affiliated force of the Northern Domain's master, the Yellow Sky Ghost Palace, and was expected to reach the level of a fourth-ranked Ghost King.
Once he turns into a ghost cultivator, his lifespan will be greatly extended, far exceeding that of humans and ordinary demonic beasts.
However, the price is also very high.
Turning into a ghost cultivator will not allow one to enter the cycle of reincarnation, meaning that there is no afterlife.
Secondly, it is far more difficult for a ghost cultivator to become an immortal than a normal cultivator, and when faced with the heavenly thunder of the tribulation, he will suffer greater damage.
Lu Changan possessed the [Nine Seal Tablet] and had no interest in the path of ghost cultivation, just as a normal reserve, as an understanding.
In that case, the harvest this time was even more greatly reduced. The most valuable instead is the bronze bracelet of the spatial storage prop.
"Huh!".....
In the second half of the soul search, Lu Chang'an got a memory fragment.
A ghost cultivator, even though he was in the late stage of JieDan in his lifetime, could hardly have any secrets that would make Lu Changan's heart flutter.
However, there was a clue in the ghost cultivator's memories that was extremely useful to Lu Chang'an.
Due to the fact that he had impacted the YuanYing in his lifetime, this ghost cultivator had collected resources for the formation of a baby, and there was a clue in his memories of a superior baby formation spirit.
That superior baby-bonding spirit is extremely suitable for Lu Chang'an's wood system.
One must know that the [Meridian Clearing Wind] that Lu Chang'an had extorted from Old Ancestor Tian Luo back then, although it was a superior baby-forming spirit, it was not of the wood system.
"The wood-based baby-forming spirit artifact is in the hands of the first family of the Sang Kingdom, the 'Black River Fortress'."
Lu Chang'an's heart thumped.
If he could obtain such a fitting baby-bonding spirit, his preparations for baby-bonding would be significantly supplemented! The probability of forming a baby would be approaching the extreme!
This ghost cultivator was unable to obtain that kind of baby-forming spirit in his lifetime, and his attributes were not a perfect match, so he gave up.
However, this matter was much less difficult for Lu Chang'an.
The first family of the Sang Kingdom doesn't have a Yuan Ying True Lord, and the strongest person is a late-stage Jie Dan (结丹后期).
However, this family is related to the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect, the only YuanYing Sect in the Sang Kingdom.
......
That night, Lu Chang'an disappeared from the Tao family's neighborhood.
As for the reward for killing the demon, Lu Changan didn't ask the Tao family for it, and considered it a good karma.
The Tao family has suffered heavy casualties and their land has been destroyed, so it's hard to tell if they can hold on to their family business.
Lu Chang'an eliminated the hostile evil cultivators of the clan as a reward for harvesting the clues of chance.
He was able to leave the house and hide his body and his name.
Lu Changan's next trip was to change his identity and secretly investigate the information of the Black River Fortress in Sangguo, including the clues of that kind of baby-making spirit.
The information is favorable to Lu Changan.
The supreme elder of the Black River Fort and the Heavenly Silkworm Sect is in his twilight years, with a lifespan of more than a thousand years.
Nowadays, this YuanYing True Lord has retired to the second line in the sect.
Based on the available information, that kind of wood-based baby-forming spirit is planted in Black River Fort's forbidden medicinal garden to grow and cultivate its medicinal properties.
"Black River Fort has quasi-fourth-order formations and all sorts of hidden prohibitions. Taking it by force or sneaking in will be difficult, and it will alert the Sang Kingdom's Yuan Ying Great Sect when it's done."
Lu Chang'an pondered for a long time and had a plan in mind.
He gazed at the Earth Rock Monarch beside him, who was munching on the remains of his prey, and gently stroked the fur on the top of the latter's head.
If we want to take the initiative in this deal, the Earth Rock Monarch, who specializes in earth evasion and is a fourth-ranked Demon King, is a major key.
Lu Changan is not in a hurry to make a move.
There are still a few years left in this trip, so I'll stay in Sangguo for a while and plan for it.
......
Two months later.
The border of the Sang Kingdom's Immortal Cultivation Realm.
A YuanYing level reclining light, like a snow-white silk worm, cuts dazzling white traces across the sky dome.
Until a certain moment, the white light slowed down and hovered over the surrounding mountains.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Silkworm, could it be that the traces of that person have been lost."
Cloud white recluse light on the standing two people, open the mouth of the black skinned old man, it is the Black River Fort's old ancestor, late stage of the JieDan Black River real......
The other person is a white-browed old man with YuanYing cultivation, wearing a dark green robe, twilight.
On the withered white palm of True Lord Xuan Silkworm's hand, a jade bottle floated, containing a water droplet-shaped dark green breath.
"That person did not go beyond the range of the [Fengchun Withered Vine]'s scent tracking. However, his recluse speed is extremely fast, no less than the old man, even if he is not a YuanYing True Lord, he still has a powerful spirit bird mount."
True Lord Xuan Silkworm's obscure eyes glowed with a mysterious luster as he quietly maintained the projected senses of the Xuan Silkworm Nine Lives Chapter.
This mysterious secret art not only contained the divination art of avoiding misfortune and good fortune, but also possessed the ability to track beyond common sense.
When the Black River Realist heard this, he quickly calmed down and sighed:
"That's all! This time, I am bothering you, Daoist Xuan Cicada, and I don't expect to be able to recover the [Fengchun Withered Vine] for sure. It's just that being blackmailed by that person and forced to make a deal, without even knowing his identity, makes people very annoyed."
With the Black River True Lord's understanding of this Xuan Silkworm True Lord, these words meant that he didn't want to pursue the matter and create a new branch.
After all, True Lord Xuan Silkworm, as the oldest YuanYing cultivator in the neighborhood, nearly eleven hundred years old, has always acted steadily and would not take risks easily.
The reason why he was previously tracking was because he suspected that the target was a cultivator below YuanYing, seeking resources for baby formation. The only thing is that the Avatar's means are outstanding, and he has a special spirit pet to support him, so he has suffered a secret loss.
"Although that person succeeded in forcing a deal, fellow Daoist Heihe did not suffer a loss."
"The trade item given by that person is enough to buy the [Fengchun Withered Vine], he shouldn't be an evil cultivator and doesn't want to be an enemy of the Sang Kingdom." True Lord Xuan Silkworm stroked his beard and smiled faintly, showing some interest in the mysterious cultivator who had blackmailed Black River Fort and forced a deal.
In addition, there was also a hint of fear.
Previously tracking the process, he practiced the "Xuan Silkworm Nine Fate Chapter" emerges a destiny sensing intuition: if the pursuit continues, the danger is unpredictable.
......
Three years later.
A middle-aged man with a yellowish complexion, dusty and introspective, stepped into the Dan Dao Alliance's sphere of influence.
"After traveling for more than six years, I have finally arrived at my final destination."
Lu Changan slowly exhaled a breath, his entire body's mana was deeply obscure, the Evergreen Golden Dan was dead silent, but in reality, it had been condensed to the extreme.
Three months ago, Lu Chang'an turned 379 years old and his cultivation basically reached the peak of the late Jindan stage.
For the past six years, Lu Chang'an had traveled to most of the cultivation realms in the Central Region as a traveling merchant.
During this time, he was not limited to buying and selling transactions, and occasionally accepted commissions to accumulate good deeds and eliminate evil.
Destroying ghosts, eliminating demons, suppressing bandits, and fortune-telling...... are all things that can be done casually and earn rewarding resources.
The life of a traveler is more colorful than that of a clan's hard training, meeting all kinds of cultivators and other living beings.
In this process, there are feelings and precipitation, and there is no lack of unexpected harvest.
Among them, the wooden baby-making spirit "Fengchun withered vine" is the biggest surprise harvest of this trip.
"Now that we have arrived at the Dan Dao Alliance, you should take a good rest."
Lu Chang'an took it easy, an invisible breeze swept over his body, and also swept over the green-armored guards and yellow-haired hyenas on his left and right.
The wind and dust on the three of them dispersed.
Lu Changan put away the box behind his back, as if he had washed away all the lead, his body was light, his state of mind was peaceful, and he was not shocked by the humiliation.
The Earth Rock Monarch and the Green Armored Puppet bowed at their master, and the light haze flashed and was put away by Lu Changan.
On the final journey, Lu Chang'an flew alone, heading towards the hinterland of the Dan Dao Alliance's realm.
The Dan Dao Alliance consists of nine fragmented Immortal Cultivation States.
Among them, there are four Immortal Cultivation States with YuanYing powers, with strengths either similar to Liang's, or one step stronger.
The strength of the other five is similar to that of the Jing Kingdom in the Eastern Region of the Great Green.
Each of these large and small Immortal Cultivation Countries is insignificant in the Central Region, but together they form the "Dandao Alliance", which is a neutral power that cannot be ignored in the Central Region of the Great Abyss.
In this region, there are many alchemy sects, and the dan dao inheritance is so bright and long that there is no shortage of cultivators from outside the Central Region who come to commission dan dao.
Lu Changan was one of them.
Nine years ago, at the YuanYing exchange meeting in Cloud Sky Immortal City, he made a deal with Grandmaster Le - to refine a genuine Infant Transformation Pill.
This was the last part of Lu Chang'an's path to Yuan Ying after years of traveling through the Central Region.
