Chapter 48 Farewell to Si Yao
This turtle egg is the spirit beast egg of the Earth Grade bloodline "Xuan Shui Turtle".
Lu Chang'an put his hand on the surface of the egg shell and felt the faint fluctuation of life, which was continuing to fail.
Without the nourishment of the precious spirit liquid, in less than half a year, the signs of life within the turtle's egg will be completely cut off.
"The Imperial Beast Zhou Family really sold a pitiful product."
Lu Changan lamented, otherwise, this egg would not have been his turn.
Without a rare treasure, it would be difficult to hatch this Xuan Shui Turtle Egg.
If it doesn't hatch, it will consume spirit liquid even if it's left there.
It's basically a trap for anyone who buys it.
Even if you pay the price, you'll probably end up hatching a sickly child.
Lu Chang'an watched for a moment and carefully injected a trace of Evergreen Mana into the turtle egg.
If it was ordinary mana, acting rashly could cause unpredictable negative consequences.
However, Lu Changan practiced the Life Nurturing Technique, and the Evergreen Mana was calm and contained the Qi of Life.
Even so, he only inputs a weak wisp of mana.
"Hm?"
That wisp of Evergreen mana was quickly absorbed by the turtle egg, and in the blink of an eye, he lost his senses.
Not only that, he caught the life breath inside the eggshell throbbing, transmitting a faint trace of longing emotion.
Seeing this, Lu Chang'an slowly inputted more Evergreen Mana, increasing the amount.
The Xuan Shui Turtle egg was like a sponge, continuously sucking in Lu Chang'an's Evergreen Mana.
Until Lu Changan's mana was almost empty, the momentum of absorption slowed down.
The life fluctuation inside the egg shell stabilized, and the momentum of vitality exhaustion was curbed.
"It is considered a successful birth preservation."
"However, I don't know what external force affected this turtle egg, the life embryo inside is still very weak and its essence remains unchanged. When it hatches normally, it will most likely be a sickly child."
Lu Chang'an pondered, considering whether to use the Evergreen Gong's healing secret technique.
This secret art can even revive Mu Xiu Yun when her life has stopped, so it should be no big deal to heal a sick child. But the secret healing technique will cost you your life. The last time I revived Mu Xiu Yun, I paid for two months of my life.
If it only cost one year and half a year, it would be acceptable. Lu Changan has just taken the First Grade Life Extension Pill, which can extend his life by as much as ten years.
He couldn't be sure how much life span he had to consume in order for the Xuan Shui Turtle to hatch healthily.
In addition, with the external interference from the Evergreen Mana, would there be any changes after the successful hatching?
All of this is still unknown, just like opening a blind box.
"There's no hurry first, Zhou Qingxuan is still staying in the workshop, this woman has an excellent talent for beast control, she has to be guarded against."
In the event that Zhou Qingxuan had an impulse to come over to check on the status of the Xuan Shui Turtle's egg, then it would be more troublesome.
......
The next morning, Lu Changan went to the inn in the marketplace to see Zhao Siyao off.
Yesterday, both Li Ergou and Lin Yi returned.
Zhao Siyao didn't plan to go back to the sect, she wanted to go out and look for the chance to build the foundation, so she stayed in the market for a few days to purchase some resources.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, have you thought it over and do you really want to go to the Black Mist Mountain Range to practice?"
Looking at Zhao Siyao, who has a cool temperament and is as elegant as a fairy, Lu Changan was somewhat surprised by this decision.
Zhao Siyao's cultivation has already reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, so she only needs to do the tasks in the sect and wait for the exchange of Foundation Establishment Pills.
"I stayed at the ninth level of qi refining for more than ten years, my cultivation is in trouble, my mind is exhausted and my will is slack. And this auction, the evil cultivator rampage in the marketplace has opened my eyes and made me feel enlightened."
Zhao Siyao sighed.
"In terms of life experience, Siyao can't compare to Fellow Daoist Lin Yi, nor is she as good as Fellow Daoist Lu. This time, I intend to go to Yellow Dragon Immortal City and go to the Black Mist Mountain Range to sharpen and kill demonic beasts to solidify my foundation."
Zhao Siyao's voice was clear and her eyes were firm.
Lu Chang'an thought that going to the Black Mist Mountain Range is not a small risk.
The risk of going to the Black Mist Mountain Range is not small.
The Black Mist Mountain Range has some precious herbs and demonic beast materials that can be exchanged for contributions in the clan.
Zhao Siyao wanted to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill, but she didn't have enough contributions in the sect, so it was hard for her to avoid being anxious when she kept going through the motions.
Especially with this auction, the Foundation Building Pill is out of reach.
She herself also found the problem, it is better to go out to practice and take a chance.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, your esteemed teacher didn't mention you a bit?"
Lu Chang'an asked with a flutter in his heart.
Zhao Siyao worshipped under a False Dan female true master, Lu Chang'an was pleased when he first learned about it.
In this way, her outstanding beauty and temperament would have some protection in the sect, and she would not be easily coveted and subjected to the subterfuge of her seniors.
In theory, with the status of a False Pill Realist, a little care in the sect would be able to speed up Zhao Siyao's progress in building her foundation.
"Her senior, Master, has several disciples and doesn't have many resources to take care of me."
Zhao Siyao forced a smile, her mood was slightly low.
"Furthermore, her grandson is an inner disciple, and now that he is under the door, he needs to invest a lot......"
Although Zhao Siyao did not explicitly say, Lu Changan immediately had a guess.
False Dan Realist wants to cultivate her grandson, how much of an impact does it have on taking care of Zhao Siyao's foundation building?
It's not like the other party has to pay for all the resources to build the foundation.
The problem lies in the grandson.
That False Pill woman is afraid that she wants to set up Zhao Siyao with her grandson.
In this way, the resources that she had used to take care of her family would be used on her own family.
Lu Changan sighed, he thought that Zhao Si Yao would be able to avoid covetousness and subterfuge if she worshipped under a female False Pillow.
The truth is that they have avoided it, but not completely.
Zhao Siyao guessed that she could not look at the grandson of the False Pill Master, making the Master unhappy and refusing to really support her in the area of foundation building.
......
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, you're going to the Black Mist Mountain Range to practice, Mister Lu can't do much to help, so I can only gift two first-order upper-grade talismans as a token of my appreciation."
Lu Changan took out a Divine Speed Talisman and a Spring Return Talisman and handed them to Zhao Siyao.
The former is used to speed up the escape and the latter is used to heal wounds. Zhao Siyao went on this training trip, it was inevitable that there would be risks that would determine whether or not she would be able to build a foundation in the future.
If she is unlucky, she will die early.
Today is the last time Lu Changan will see Zhao Si Yao.
Zhao Siyao didn't refuse and took the talisman, feeling the extraordinary power contained in the talisman.
Obviously, it is not an ordinary first ranked product.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, these two talismans......"
Her beautiful eyes turned and she said in surprise.
"This was refined by Missy, I basically don't go out of the workshop, so I can't use them if I stay on my body."
Lu Changan said in a relaxed tone.
Mu Xiu Yun, as a first-order upper-grade talisman master, could theoretically refine it as well, only the probability was relatively low.
A first rank upper grade talisman is equivalent to an ordinary spell strike at the late stage of qi cultivation.
A top-grade quality talisman, comparable to the power of a spell at the peak of qi refining, even if it is not as good as a kill move secret art or a top-grade talisman, it is still a great help for the late stage of qi cultivation.
"Fellow Daoist Lu this intention, Si Yao remembered in my heart."
Zhao Siyao was dignified and bowed her knees, her immortal skirt undulating.
She guessed that this was a life-preserving talisman given by Lu Changan's future wife, Mu Xiu Yun.
Lu Changan was able to give it away in this way, the sentiment was heavy!
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, take care on the road."
"Fellow Daoist Lu, there's no need to give it away again."
Before saying goodbye, the elegant and cool Fairy Zhao, glanced back at Lu Chang'an.
The white-clothed young man's face was like the old days, as indifferent as water.
The two of them looked at each other for a moment.
Zhao Siyao's eyes were clear and open, she nodded slightly and flew away.
......
After the auction, Bamboo Leaf Mountain returned to peace and quiet, and business was much cooler.
In the next year or two, the popularity of the mountain has slightly improved, but it is difficult to restore the former heyday.
Lu Chang'an has been staying in the marketplace, and he has been very quiet and idle.
Practicing and drawing talismans doesn't take much time.
The Cloud Sand Body Refining Technique was steadily improving, and three years after the auction, it smoothly stepped into the third layer.
Corresponding to the late stage of Qi Refining!
Unsurprisingly, Lu Changan's Body Refining Technique catches up with his mana cultivation.
At this time.
His physique was comparable to that of a late first stage demonic beast.
As long as the lower-grade magic weapon doesn't hit the vitals, there is little threat to him, and it is difficult to break the physical body's defense.
He had more than once lamented, "The Body Refining Technique and Evergreen Technique are really a perfect match."
The former consumes time and energy and improves survival ability; the latter prolongs life and has strong recovery power.
"Has that genius granddaughter of the Zhou family left?"
Shortly after stepping into the third layer of Body Alchemy, Lu Chang'an heard a piece of good news.
A few years ago, Zhou Qingxuan stayed at Bamboo Leaf Mountain and didn't leave, and had met Lu Changan a few times in the marketplace.
This woman only asked about the Xuan Shui Turtle once, and the focus was not on that.
She had instructed Lu Chang'an, "Rune Master Lu, you stay in the workshop market all year round, so keep an eye out for this young lady to see which of the bottom tier cultivators is suspicious and could be the hidden 'Senior Yan'."
Lu Changan was amused in his heart, he didn't expect Zhou Qingxuan to be so curious.
Zhou Qingxuan might have concluded that Senior Yan was a righteous cultivator who had guarded the marketplace, and that was why she dared to explore.
But after three years, this woman lost her patience and finally left.
Lu Changan put down his heart, set up a ban on the second floor, and performed the secret technique of Evergreen Gong to heal wounds.
Buzz!
His body's mana stirred, and a pale ancient green halo lingered in his hand, as if it were a newborn shoot, injecting itself into the turtle egg.
Inside the egg shell, there was an emotional fluctuation of longing and joy.
One month...... two months...... three months......
Lu Changan paid attention to the rate of depletion of longevity, which was not exaggerated.
Active consumption of lifespan would not deplete his vitality.
After consuming three months of longevity.
The aura of life within the turtle's egg rises a notch, emanating a cheerful, affectionate mood.
At this time, the fluctuation of life within the Xuan Shui Turtle Egg reached normal levels.
It is basically enough.
But for the future hatchlings of the Xuan Shui Turtle to have a better physique, thicker skin and more durable, it would be better to keep them alive.
Lu Chang'an invested another three months of his life span.
When he saved Mu Xiu Yun's life, he only consumed two months of his life span.
At this moment, the life qi within the turtle egg was becoming more and more active and vigorous.
