Chapter 56: Thirty Years of Immortal Cultivation
It was getting late.
Lu Chang'an excused Daoist Guan's retention to spend the night in the house.
After all, this housing is not very large, and there is a little girl, so it is not very appropriate.
Lu Chang'an rests for the night at the inn in the inner city.
The next day, accompanied by Daoist Master Guan, Lu Chang'an went to a large hall in the center of the inner city and signed the lease spirit contract.
The courtyard at the Fairview Place was leased to Lu Chang'an for ten years at a price of eighty spirit stones per year.
Since it was a long term lease, there was a certain discount on the price.
A total of eight hundred spirit stones, supporting the payment of rent on a yearly basis.
The price is not cheap, and according to Daoist Guan, this compound has only been vacated for half a month.
On that day, Lu Chang'an moved into the compound with light clothes.
"Water Moon Residence, nice name."
Lu Chang'an glanced at the plaque on the courtyard door.
Guan Qiaozhi brought in some fresh fruits and vegetables, and helped Lu Changan clean the courtyard and root out the weeds.
Lu Chang'an cast spells to clean the interior of the house, and set up two sets of first-order small formations in the courtyard.
After a busy day, he was invited to Taoist Master Guan's house for a meal in the evening.
The little girl's cooking skills are good, only a small amount of spiritual materials added, all the flavors, teeth and cheeks.
Lu Chang'an realized the benefits of adopting a female disciple from Taoist Master Guan.
......
Two days later.
Lu Chang'an, who has moved to a new house, plans to visit his neighbors.
Especially the mansion on the left, the residence of Master Dewey Dan.
In this neighborhood, any cultivator who can live in a single mansion is not a simple one.
Before Lu Chang'an could put it into action, a neighbor came over to visit him.
"I heard that there is a Rune Master neighbor, so my daughter paid a visit to send some of her own made snacks."
A warm and soft woman's voice comes from outside the courtyard door.
It was a palace dress beauty, about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with mountain eyebrows and watery eyes, as colorful as peaches and plums.
It was her?
Lu Chang'an was slightly surprised and opened the formation.
Su Yue Tong, the courtesan's name is Su Yue Tong, a female cultivator who lives alone in an exquisite courtyard on the right side.
"Rune Master Lu, my daughter Su Yuetong, I'm not disturbing you, right?" Su Yue Tong was dressed in a plain-colored palace dress, seemingly dignified and elegant, with a lot of style in her hands and feet.
"No harm done, Miss Su knows my name?"
Lu Changan welcomed Su Yue Tong in and took the snack box.
"Met up with Qiaozhi and heard her mention it once."
Su Yue Tong smiled sweetly, twisted her waist slightly, and sat with her legs slightly tilted, every gesture of her behavior, revealing a tantalizing flavor.
Lu Changan will not take the beautiful woman in front of him lightly.
The female cultivator living alone, in the huge number of cultivators, mixed with the immortal city, often not simple.
Not to mention, Su Yuetong possessed the power of Enchantment and concealed her true cultivation.
On the surface, she is at the 6th level of Qi Refining.
The real cultivation level is the 8th level of Qi Refining.
Su Yue Tong's concealment techniques are very clever.
However, Lu Changan's Divine Sense was almost comparable to that of an early stage Foundation Establishment, and he was able to see the clues from close range.
Taoist Master Guan had warned Lu Changan not to be mesmerized by this woman's beauty.
It is said that there was a late-stage cultivator who coveted Su Yue Tong's beauty, and flirted with her and made a move.
As a result, a few days later, the body of that late-stage Qi refining practitioner was found in a drainage ditch in the city.
During that time, Su Yue Tong had a perfect alibi.
There was a rumor that Su Yue Tong was a concubine of a big shot, and that she was hiding her love here.
"Miss Su, take care."
Lu Changan and Su Yue Tong chatted for a few moments before the latter got up to take her leave.
Su Yue Tong only asked Lu Chang An about his talismanic skills and where he had studied before.
Lu Changan said that he hadn't been a first grade talisman master for a long time, and that he had stayed in a certain workshop before, but he didn't mention the Fei Yue Lake Mu Family.
Lu Changan examined the snacks left by the other party, there was nothing suspicious, and he destroyed them.
......
A short while later, Lu Changan went to the mansion on the left side of the Water Moon Residence, which is the residence of Master Du Dan.
On the plaque, the name "Danshinju" was mentioned.
At the entrance of the courtyard, there was an old servant at the early stage of Qi refining.
"Mister Lu has just moved to the Water Moon Residence next door and has brought gifts to visit Master Du Dan."
Lu Changan asked the old servant to go and report the news.
He emphasized on bringing gifts to visit because he had heard Daoist Guan say that Du Wei loved money.
He emphasized the importance of bringing gifts, because he had heard from Taoist Master Guan that Du Wei loved money.
"My master happens to be free today."
The old servant did not inform and directly brought Lu Changan into the Dan Xin Residence.
Dan Xin Residence is a two-story mansion, the main building has three floors, unique and luxurious.
In a parlor, Lu Changan met the master.
Du Wei is a middle-aged man with a beard of eight, not tall and fat, with a thick nose and glowing eyes.
In earthly terms, he was fat and short.
Of course, Dewey is not poor.
In this meeting, each side accompanied by a tall, charming and attractive concubine, all of which are female cultivators who have the ability to maintain their beauty.
"So it's Rune Master Lu."
Du Wei smiled brightly and accepted the runic box gift box from Lu Chang'an.
"Dare I ask Master Lu Rune's noble rank, what grade of Rune Master is he?"
During the conversation, Du Wei asked very directly.
"Nearly forty-six years old, first rank upper grade rune master."
Lu Chang'an did not hide it.
Getting acquainted for the first time and demonstrating one's worthwhile strength is the first step in utilitarian socialization.
Du Wei's face did not fluctuate, nor did he belittle.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Dewey picked up his cup of tea.
Lu Chang'an said goodbye and left.
Being of the same first rank, the status of a dan master is naturally higher than that of a talisman master.
In the Yellow Dragon Immortal City, this gap is even more obvious.
Because of its proximity to the Black Mist Mountain Range, the Immortal City has a large number of demonic beast pelts circulating all year round, providing the raw materials for talisman painting.
This led to the fact that there were a large number of talisman masters in the city, especially of the middle and lower grades.
The first rank upper grade talisman masters weren't too many and were only slightly more comfortable.
What's more, Du Wei's status has risen since he studied under a famous second-rank dan master.
"Medium grade talisman? There are no top-grade talismans, and this Lu Fu Master doesn't necessarily have a request for me."
Du Wei opened the talisman box, picked out the four medium grade talismans and casually threw them on the table.
"Reward for you!"
"Thank you husband."
The two beautiful concubines were in the early stages of Qi refining and were very happy to get medium quality talismans. ......
Leaving the Danshin Residence.
Lu Changan smiled slightly, Du Wei's greed for money and lust was a good thing instead.
I am afraid that the kind of person who is not into oil and salt is not easy to gather and buy.
Lu Chang'an is not so keen on a top-grade dan master.
He wanted to get to know the Hua Dan Master behind Du Wei.
A second rank middle grade Dan Master, still in the Foundation Establishment Stage, with a high status, someone must build bridges and lead the way.
"It will be at least another one to two decades before I build my foundation."
Lu Chang'an didn't have to rush things.
He predicted that it would take eight years to cultivate to the eighth level of Qi Refining, and another nine years to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
It would also take quite a few years to reach the peak at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
He has a long lifespan, so he will not be arrogant and will not be impatient, but will operate steadily and slowly.
People are not like grass and trees.
Sooner or later, under the long years, he and Master Du Dan could have a friendship.
......
Visiting Du Wei.
Lu Chang'an looked towards the small separate courtyard opposite the Water Moon Residence.
The opposite courtyard has no plaque and is separated from Daoist Guan's house by two housing units.
This courtyard was inhabited by an aloof puppeteer who rarely interacted with others.
Puppeteer is a relatively unknown school of art.
The threshold of the art is high, and requires a high level of talent and divine sense.
The complexity of puppet making and the rarity of inheritance have led to this profession falling out of the mainstream.
"The door is open."
A man's voice came from the courtyard after Lu Chang'an explained his intention.
Walking into the courtyard, he saw several puppets and scattered puppet parts.
A big, muscular, barefooted man, hunched over the ground, was polishing a puppet's sharp claws.
The barefoot man's name is Sang, and he is at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
When Lu Changan came in, he didn't get up to welcome him and was busy with his own work.
But when Lu Chang'an asked, Mr. Sang would always answer.
After the exchange, Lu Changan was a bit disappointed that the Sang Puppeteer could only build a first-order medium-grade puppet.
The first rank medium grade puppets were not as powerful as his refined flesh body.
In the hands of an ordinary cultivator, it would be difficult for a puppet to utilize the combat power of a cultivator of the same rank.
If a low-grade puppet wants to exert real power, it needs to have the skill of controlling puppets and share a part of its divine sense.
While Qi refining cultivators manipulate artifacts, they also need to consume mana and divine sense, so the puppet's strength is naturally limited.
Moreover, the price of puppets is much more expensive than the same level of magic weapon.
Lu Chang'an is an exception, his divine sense is far more powerful than his peers.
Unfortunately, the puppets that Sang Puppet Masters could create did not meet his requirements.
......
After familiarizing himself with his right and left neighbors.
Lu Chang'an officially settled in Yellow Dragon Immortal City, Jinxiu Square, and Water Moon Residence.
In a flash, two and a half years passed.
"Thirty Years of Immortal Cultivation......"
On this day, Lu Chang'an opened his eyes, and there was an aura of vicissitude on his body that had gone through the rotation of the years.
The strength of Evergreen Mana had another slight increase.
From the age of eighteen in Golden Cloud Valley awakening memories.
To today at the age of forty-eight in the Yellow Dragon Immortal City, a full thirty years of years!
"In the first life, this time is also the seventh level of Qi Refining."
"In the second life, the foundation was built before the age of forty."
"However, in this life, my foundation is unprecedentedly solid, my divine sense is strong and condensed, and my state of mind is far superior to the previous two lives. This is the life that has the most hope of advancing to the YuanYing stage."
Lu Chang'an's heart was indifferent and calm.
In the Nine Seal Tablet, the white-bearded old man at the peak of JieDan in his second life, nourished by years of soul nourishment, lit up dozens of hairs.
It is predicted that it will take until the Foundation Establishment Stage to accelerate the lighting speed.
The handsome man in his first life was only at the peak of qi refining, and the power of his soul projection was so weak that he could only attach himself for a short period of time, and his ability to do so was limited.
Lu Chang'an speculated: the second life of the peak JieDan, the depth of the foundation, the soul is powerful, if the soul projection descended, can perform aptitude means will be far more than the former.
