Chapter 384: Closed-Door Training
Chapter 386 - Closed Door Bitter Cultivation
True Lord Yun Lan has fallen for many years and has been confirmed by Immortal Zixia's [Destiny Soul Painting].
Lu Chang'an never questioned it all these years.
And now that so many years have passed, Lu Chang'an once again divines, facing much less resistance.
After all, he was free from the storm of the Ancient Specter Hall battle in the past, and there were no many YuanYing old monsters and interference from the heavenly chances of all the major powers.
"There really is something fishy about True Lord Yun Lan's fall."
Losing a little bit of his lifespan, Lu Changan's divination has come to a new conclusion.
The fall of True Lord Yun Lan back then, there exists a ray of life...... perhaps not dead!
Lu Changan got a rough conclusion of the trigrams.
More specific information, is vague, there are many possibilities, the accuracy is greatly reduced.
But on this basis, Lu Changan could make a basic judgment with the experience and common sense of a YuanYing monster.
"After True Lord Yun Lan's YuanYing exited his body, he was said to have been seriously injured. And to take over the body and recuperate, it doesn't necessarily have to be a YuanYing spirit body. The residual soul of a YuanYing True Lord also possesses the possibility of re-cultivation, but the cultivation of the target chosen is much lower, and re-cultivating a Jiedan cultivator is all very dangerous."
"In addition, the residual soul can turn to the Ghost Dao, which also has possibilities in the Great Abyss where the Evil Dao is prevalent."
Lu Chang'an thought about it, the possibility of True Lord Yun Lan turning to ghost cultivation is low.
Due to the loss of the YuanYing spiritual body, switching to the Ghost Dao would require starting all over again, and the future Ghost Infant Tribulation would be much more treacherous and difficult than the normal YuanYing Tribulation.
True Lord Yun Lan does not have the experience of a ghost cultivator, so doing so would not be worth the effort.
"If I were the remnant of True Lord Yun Lan's soul, it would be best for me to go back to the path of Dharma Cultivation. If the target of seizing the body is a Daoist practitioner of the Yunxia Sect, it would be a better fit, and the future path of YuanYing would have experience to follow, with a higher success rate."
Lu Changan basically confirmed the first possibility.
The residual soul is weak and incomplete, and the risk of seizing the body is quite high. Without absolute dominance, there exists the possibility of overturning the car and becoming an experience bag for the Son of Qi.
"Yun Lan Zhen Jun's [Destiny Soul Painting] is completely extinguished...... Taking over the body may not go well, and ultimately favors the option of fusion, lowering the host's resistance and becoming a new individual."
Lu Changan's eyes flickered, if this was the end, the host that the True Monarch of Yun Lan had converted would not be much of a threat.
Losing the YuanYing Dao Fruit, the residual soul's reclaiming and recultivating would have to retrace the two major hurdles of Dan Condensation and Infant Formation.
This cultivation process cannot be accomplished quickly. It is also faster and easier to break through bottlenecks than ordinary cultivators.
Unlike a YuanYing who can quickly remake his body and regain his full cultivation. Armed with the above information, searching for True Lord Yun Lan's host is just a matter of time.
"Using the time of True Monarch Yun Lan's fall as a benchmark, search for the foundation cultivators of Yunxia Sect and the neighboring forces, and prioritize those whose cultivation methods match the Yunxia Sect's Taoist tradition. Anyone with abnormal cultivation advancement is a suspicious target."
Lu Chang'an quickly had a plan for the investigation.
Starting with the Yunxia Sect, he would radiate to the neighboring forces and the Da Yu Kingdom.
Lu Changan had a hunch that it was not unlikely that True Lord Yun Lan had mixed into Yunxia Sect, and that he would be more at home in familiar territory.
This possibility caused Lu Changan's heart to chill and his back to go cold.
Wouldn't that mean that he had previously befriended Immortal Zixia and occupied the fourth rank dojo of Yun Lan Peak, all under the eyes of the other party?.....
"O Brother Yun Lan, you and I originally had no grudges."
Lu Changan sighed, a hint of pity showing in his eyes.
"If you had taken over your body and recultivated, and kept a low profile and honest, this True Lord might not have dealt you a death sentence. However, you were unwilling to do so and leaked this True Lord's confidential information."
Lu Changan, who had learned the truth, had no intention of telling Immortal Zixia.
He decided to investigate privately.
The specific actions were left to the fourth-ranked puppets under the control of Wei Puppeteer.
If True Lord Zixia knew about it, there would be uncertainty.
Even if we don't think about the love of a couple, Jiang Ziyan and True Lord Yun Lan have been siblings for hundreds of years.
......
A few days later.
Grandmaster Le officially opened the furnace to refine the Fourth Order Life Extension Pill.
Since Lu Changan gave the commission, he chose to trust the other party and did not supervise the entire process.
Master Le, as a veteran Fourth Order Alchemist, has made and taken Fourth Order Life Extension Pills before, so there is no need to be greedy.
During the period of alchemy, Lu Changan counted and organized the congratulatory gifts during the Yuanying Ceremony.
"It's worthy of being the top grand ceremony of the YuanYing sect, allowing this True Lord to struggle for twenty to thirty years less."
Lu Chang'an's face glowed red as he categorized the many congratulatory gifts and sifted through some of the materials that were useful to him.
At the Yuanying Ceremony, although he didn't receive a few fourth-order gifts, he couldn't help but have a large number of them. The gifts from the power of those who have reached Dan and YuanYing can't be shabby even for the sake of appearances.
Especially for the top level of the Sect, in order to make friends with the newly promoted True Lords, the congratulatory gifts are more expensive, and there are even a few that are over the top.
In addition, all of Yunxia Sect's subordinate JieDan forces' congratulatory gifts are very expensive.
This time, Lu Chang'an was able to get his blood back in his mouth.
With the many congratulatory gifts that will be realized and traded later, Lu Changan will be able to strengthen the Peacock, Puppet Array, and Treasure Talisman Reserve.
......
Half a month.
In the Yun Lan Sect's cave, a dan qi haze shot up into the sky.
The dan qi through the rainbow, belonging to the phenomenon of the birth of the fourth-order spirit pills, attracted some sect cultivators.
However, the vision of the Dan Qi surging into the sky, appearing in the main cave of the Fourth Order Spiritual Vein, is reasonable.
Outside cultivators speculated that True Lord Xiang, as a newly-promoted YuanYing, demanded a fourth-order cultivation elixir and commissioned Master Le to refine it.
Cave Mansion, Alchemy Room.
The ground fire is extinguished and the formation is removed.
"True Lord Xiang, living up to his promise, this time three fourth-order Life Extension Pills have been refined."
Grandmaster Le's wrinkled old face showed his fatigue.
Three dark green pills emitting life essence qi and flowing with four colors of haze appeared on his palm. Thirteen natural dao lines were outlined on each of the pills, nurturing the essence of heaven and earth and its mysteries.
"Elder Le has worked hard, this is the reward."
Lu Changan was overjoyed and very satisfied after his appraisal.
His original expectation was that refining into two genuine products and one with a slight flaw would be enough.
Lu Changan handed a storage bag to Master Le.
Inside the storage bag, besides a bunch of top-grade spirit stones, there was also a jade slip.
Master Le didn't take it to heart, helping Lu Changan with his alchemy, the reward was secondary, the main thing was to make good karma.
"Huh!"
Checking that jade slip, Master Le couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The dozen or so high-grade Dan formulas recorded therein had not been seen in the Great Abyss Immortal Cultivation World, or there existed elixirs with similar effects, but with different prescription ratios and refining techniques. In addition to their own value, these new Dan formulas were also worth studying, which could promote the art of alchemy and increase the heritage base......
"True Lord Xiang has a heart."
Grandmaster Le let out a sigh of relief, knowing that the other party did not want to owe him a favor.
"True Lord Xiang, do you have any intention of trading the extra Fourth Order Life Extension Pills? On my side, I do have channels."
Before parting, Grandmaster Le proposed.
The first Life Extension Pill of the same grade is the only one that is effective for the world's cultivators.
"Of the three Fourth Grade Life Extension Pills, Mister Xiang will take one and Earth Rock Monarch will take one."
"There is only one left as a trade. However, it has to be an elixir spirit that helps to promote to the mid YuanYing stage, a wood-based heaven and earth spirit, and a fourth-ranked mid-grade puppet refining treasure material."
Lu Chang'an stated his intentions.
A fourth-order life-extending elixir could be fatal to a Jindan cultivator.
But at the level of a Yuan Ying True Lord, it is a strategic material that can be traded under control.
On that day, Master Le and his granddaughter Le Qingni left.
Le Qingni was slightly disappointed.
This time, when I went to Yunxia Sect with my grandfather, I thought that I would be able to do what I did last time during the alchemy period. Xiang DaLong will be accompanying him throughout the whole process, and the two of them will be chatting, sipping tea, and discussing the Dao together.
As a result, this True Lord Xiang only let his housekeeper, Xiao Qingshan, accompany him and take her for a stroll around the sect.
......
Inside the secret room of the cave.
Lu Chang'an took the first Fourth Order Life Extension Pill and closed his eyes and immersed himself for a long time, as if he was experiencing a long period of life.
During this time, the aura of the Evergreen Kung Fu's age rotation on his body became thicker and thicker.
"Life Extension 120 years!"
Lu Chang'an opened his eyes and sensed the increase in longevity and couldn't help but rejoice.
The Fourth Grade Life Extension Pill, which normal cultivators take to extend their life by one year, doubled the effect when he took it.
Not only that, due to too much life extension at once, Lu Changan felt that his Evergreen Mana, in terms of quality and power, had a significant increase.
If he had to measure it numerically, it would be about half a percent increase.
Immediately after that, Lu Changan took a second Fourth Grade Life Extension Pill.
"Life extension of about ninety-six years!"
With the second Life Extension Pill, the effect was somewhat attenuated, but it was still considerable, and the Evergreen Mana was once again raised by a small amount.
The final effect of the two Life Extension Pills made Lu Chang'an overjoyed.
This is the first time that I have ever been in a situation where my life has been prolonged for more than two hundred years, and my magical power has risen, which is something that any YuanYing True Lord would be ecstatic about.
"Unfortunately, fourth-order longevity fruit-type master materials are rare in the world. Back then, that third-order top-class longevity fruit was still the inherited base material of a YuanYing clan."
"Moreover, cultivators of the Evergreen Kung Fu can devour each other's Dao fruits, which is ultimately a major hidden danger."
Lu Chang'an calmed down with mixed feelings.
He always felt that his cultivated YuanYing Spiritual Body, like a tantalizing ginseng fruit, might become the dish of some big shot in the future.
......
Three months later, Lu Chang'an turned 381 years old.
While he was practicing, Puppet Master Wei completed a thorough sweep of Yunxia Sect.
In Yunxia Sect, there were about four or five Foundation Establishment Cultivators from that node back then who cultivated at a fast pace and were more abnormal.
After investigation, these five people had reasonable reasons for their fast cultivation speeds.
Some people have thick and thin hair.
Some people go out and get a chance.
Some people make a fortune by killing people and seizing treasures
Some people have received support from their masters or families and have accelerated their cultivation.
There are also people who have accomplished major tasks for their sects and received awards for their achievements......
Among them, there were two who had attained Jindan, including the half-step Jindan quality Hu Ang.
Lu Changan's initial analysis found that Hu Ang had cultivated too quickly, and by combining all the above factors, it completely stood up to scrutiny.
Lu Changan's initial analysis revealed that Hu Ang's family is the Hu Clan of the former Patriarch Hu, and he is from an extraordinary background.
This person is capable of accomplishing the tasks of the clan, killing people and seizing treasures, and has also gained a small chance.
Thus, his standing out was well documented, thick and reasonable. "It's only been twenty years since the formation of the dan, and his cultivation is approaching the peak of the early stage, the speed is really fast, no less than the Immortal Golden Dan of the Earth Spirit Root."
Even though Hu Ang's situation was reasonable, Lu Chang'an still locked him in.
On the basis of suspicion, the details of the past would become a breakthrough.
This person, as a male disciple, was able to make Immortal Zixia wield it to her heart's content and was quite satisfied with it, so it was not simple.
Secondly, this person shows talent beyond his peers, in many fields know something, appear to be knowledgeable and versatile.
Such a situation is not unheard of amongst JieDan cultivators, but at such a node, it makes Lu Changan focus his suspicions.
After deducing against the divination, the possibility of Hu Ang being the host of Yun Lan Zhen Jun's takeover is more than 70%.
The remaining four, on the other hand, only have about 10%.
"So it's you kid, the one who always guards the door!"
Lu Chang'an was dumbfounded.
If you lock the target, you don't have to worry.
Hu Ang's son is far from being a success. It will take at least a hundred years for him to be promoted to YuanYing.
At the moment, Lu Changan is not a threat to him, so he can only use his strength to fight.
It is no wonder that this son is so patient, respectful and honest to him, and has never shown any hostility.
Although he has confirmed his identity, Lu Changan is not in a hurry to make a move.
From now on, Hu Ang will be secretly supervised by the Earth Rock Monarch and the fourth-ranked puppet, and his every move will be under Lu Changan's watchful eye.
Lu Changan wanted to make sure that Hu Ang's death would not arouse the suspicion of True Lord Zixia.
As a disciple of the True Lord Zixia, Hu Ang was highly utilized and had a lot of cards to protect his life. He mainly served the Elder Elder and helped with internal affairs, and seldom went out.
The only person who can kill him silently is the clan's Infant Warriors.
"The coming day will be long, as a YuanYing true monarch seizing the body to recuperate, even if the body is dead, but also to reflect the value......."
Lu Chang'an's thoughts flew and he had a plan.
Hu Ang as a mole, exposed identity, there is no longer a threat...... even have the value of utilization.
The real threat to Lu Changan is the hostile YuanYing.
For example, the Underwater True Monarch and the Great Serpent Mountain YuanYing.
The Underwater True Monarch is in the middle stage of YuanYing and has a powerful background that Lu Chang'an can't deal with in the short term.
He might be able to defeat a mid-stage YuanYing, but the possibility of killing him is very low.
The Great Serpent Mountain is different, they are all in the early YuanYing stage, so there is room for maneuver.
Moreover, the threat from Great Snake Mountain was the most direct, and it had already caused Lu Changan to take a few scores.
Great Serpent Mountain's prying threats against Earth Rock Monarch; Red Serpent True Monarch's spoiling Lu Chang'an's good deed at the YuanYing Exchange; and most recently, colluding with, and drawing in, the trouble that was Underwaters True Monarch.
In the past, it would be fine if he had not been promoted to YuanYing.
Now that he is a True Monarch, Lu Chang'an will not be passive and let others count on him, he will find the opportunity to take the initiative to kill the threat.
"Let me first allow this True Lord to close the door for ten years! Cultivate several divine secret arts......".....
Lu Changan will not be so adventurous, only first entered the YuanYing stage, a lot of divine means are not, and then roar to find the old YuanYing liquidation.
In addition, he had divined that it would be inappropriate to go out in the last ten years, and his fortune was unpredictable.
......
Before he closed down and practiced hard, Lu Changan went to the cave of Zixia Peak and informed Immortal Zixia.
Jiang Ziyan, as a person who has been there before, expressed her understanding of this, wanting to cultivate some powerful aptitudes and secret arts, ten years is far from enough.
In the Zixia Cave, Lu Changan indulged in three days, the mood is soothing, and then returned to Yunlan Peak closed-door cultivation.
Hoo!
Hu Ang learned that True Lord Evergreen had gone into seclusion, and his heart breathed a long sigh of relief.
For some reason, after the YuanYing Ceremony, his heart was vaguely uneasy, and he always felt that the secret transmission on that occasion was not secure enough.
However, watching others encroach on his Dao Couple and cave, such a great shame, even the determination of a YuanYing cultivator is a kind of torment, it is difficult to tolerate.
Within a hundred years, it is difficult for him to advance to the YuanYing stage, the only way is to use external forces.
The only force that can dominate the fate of an ordinary YuanYing in DaYuNian is the royal family.
"Last time was a bit hasty. However, the news of my death was confirmed long ago, and unless that Xiang Dalong is a divination master, it would be impossible to pinpoint my existence." Hu Ang did not believe that that Xiang Dalong, as a puppet master, could also be proficient in the way of divination at the same time.
......
Two years later.
Lu Chang'an, who was in closed-door cultivation, had a subtle sensation from the spirit pet contract he had concluded over the years.
The Earth Palace Dojo, underneath the ground.
The water spirit power of heaven and earth fluctuates violently, accompanied by the surging and huge earth-devouring cold air.
A seven feet wide dark green turtle, pupils of dark green, gulping black water mist, low hissing sound, like the wind drums muffled thunder.
Wow!
Where the large pool in the sky, floating in the heavy incomparable XuanDi heavy water, like a deep black pearl, emitting a sense of oppression, enough to let the late JieDan big cultivators move.
"Great Turtle, finally cultivated to the late third stage."
Not far away from the Earth Rock Monarch, seemingly lazy and casual, with the means of the Transformation Demon King, with the help of cave forbidden formations, to cover the small realm breakthrough phenomenon.
In fact, in the face of the mutated Xuan Shui Turtle, which was promoted to the late third stage, the Earth Rock Monarch couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis in the bottom of his heart.
