Chapter 62 Opening the Furnace to Make Dan
The comings and goings of these years.
Lu Chang'an sensed that Guan Lao wanted to entrust his female disciple to himself.
He had politely expressed that he aspired to cultivation and had no intention of marrying and having children at least until he built his foundation.
"Chang'an, you have been practicing alone and hard for many years, even if you don't take a wife and have children, you still need a maid and concubine by your side to take care of you and help take care of your life."
Guan Lao wore a smile on his face, his words at this point were almost explicit.
Over the years, Lu Changan's talent, character, and conduct have been recognized by Guan Lao, especially with the clan's foundation-building friends behind him.
Guan knew that Guan Qiaozhi was not good enough for Lu Changan.
If she becomes a concubine, it will be enough to put his mind at ease.
Compared to Du Wei who is greedy for money and sex.
Lu Chang'an, who knew his roots, was much more reliable and believed that he would not treat his female disciple badly.
The status of a concubine is not high, but beside Lu Chang'an, at least there is no need to compete for favor.
"Qiaozhi senior sister is beautiful and skillful, if she is a maid and concubine, but it is a pity."
Lu Changan didn't reject it directly.
Guan Lao was his Immortal Guide, so he could take care of her, which was considered to be an understanding of karma.
Guan Qiaozhi was very sweet and a good cook, coming over to take care of the house and feed the pets could improve Lu Changan's quality of life.
Moreover, Guan Qiaozhi's talent for dexterity and being good at making talisman paper would also be useful to Lu Chang'an.
"Elder Guan may want to consider this carefully."
Lu Chang'an's tone was solemn, and he proposed again:
"In fact, there is another path: I can recommend Qiaozhi to the Fei Yuehu Mu family, she has the spiritual root qualification and craftsmanship, it's not difficult for her to settle down."
"I'm sorry to trouble Rune Master Lu for his advice, but I still have to consult Qiaozhi on this matter."
Guan Lao nodded his head, very pleased.
Whether the female disciple is entrusted to Lu Chang'an or goes to the Fei Yuehu Mu family, it is a more reliable choice.
......
A few days later, Lu Chang'an was invited to Du Wei's residence.
Du Wei hosted a banquet, the ingredients cost dozens of spirit stones, very enthusiastic.
"Fellow Daoist Lu is actually close friends with the 'Black Iron Face' of Golden Cloud Valley?"
Du Wei was quite surprised.
"Black Iron Skin" is Zhang Tieshan's nickname.
Because in the sect's Law Enforcement Hall, he treats those who violate the sect's rules with iron blood and no mercy, that's why he has this reputation. In addition, Zhang Tieshan is powerful in actual combat and has captured and killed many wanted evil cultivators, even in the Yellow Dragon Immortal City.
"Haha! I have an average relationship with Zhang Tieshan, and my true clan foundation building buddy is another one."
Lu Chang'an denied.
It is fine to have a personal friendship with Zhang Tieshan.
This man has made many enemies outside, so it is best not to claim to be on good terms with him.
In addition, Zhang Tieshan's qualifications as a lower-grade spirit root are much worse than Zhao Siyao's, with the advantage of a strong will.
In addition, he is strong in actual combat and has steadily entered the Foundation Establishment Stage. Lu Changan guessed that Zhang Tieshan might have a chance.
"By the way, next door, Daoist Su, when are you going to find Master Hua Dan to refine pills?"
Lu Changan changed the topic.
Three years ago, that time the introduction of Master Hua Dan was let down.
About a year later, Du Wei found another opportunity to bring Lu Chang'an and Su Yue Tong to meet Master Hua Dan.
The second time, he finally met Master Hua Dan.
At that time, Lu Chang'an gave away a two-hundred year old herb, including a couple of top-grade talismans, and got acquainted with Master Hua Dan.
Su Yue Tong's gift was even more expensive.
Although the contents of the gift box could not be seen, it was evident from Master Hua Dan's kind smile,
Su Yue Tong had clearly impressed Master Hua Dan, and if the materials were collected well, it should be possible to make pills.
"Opening the furnace for alchemy, probably in the last two years." Du Wei speculated.
"At that time, I hope that brother Du will bring me there to gain more insight. Perhaps the next time the furnace is opened for alchemy, Lu Mou will be a participant."
Lu Chang'an toasted Du Wei.
Su Yuetong and the others crowdfunded the materials to make pills, surely we must go to the scene, otherwise when the pills are too poor, who knows if the pills master swallowed the materials.
Lu Chang'an wanted to go there to observe, mainly to check how skilled Hua Dan master is and whether his character is reliable.
The word of mouth out there can't be trusted.
"Good to say! I'll bring you along then."
Dewey readily drank a glass of wine.
Before parting, he smiled brightly and asked in a low voice:
"Fellow Daoist Lu, have you finished organizing the remaining parts of that alchemy inheritance?"
"Oh, I've organized half of the remaining parts. If Brother Du is in a hurry, I will give it to you now."
Lu Chang'an said and handed over a jade cylinder.
Previously, the half of the inheritance that he had given to Du Wei was mainly about first-order alchemy.
The remaining half of the inheritance was all about Second Stage Alchemy.
Now.
Lu Chang'an took this remaining half and cut it in half again, gifting quite a quarter to Du Wei.
The last remaining quarter, naturally the quintessence, is still pinched in Lu Chang'an's hand.
If necessary, it is not impossible to cut another eighth.
"Brother Lu has the heart."
Du Wei's face twitched slightly as he sent Lu Chang'an out the door with a smile on his face.
......
Two years passed in a blink of an eye.
Lu Chang'an turned fifty-five years old.
His alchemy skill has finally stabilized into the top grade of the first rank.
Compared to Du Wei, the Ge Dan Master of that year, there is naturally a considerable gap.
However, he could at least preserve his capital by refining a few first-rank top-grade pills.
Lu Changan's alchemy talent was mediocre.
He was able to make this progress by having a lot of spare time and slowly simmering over a long period of time.
A strong divine sense also adds to this.
In addition to alchemy.
Lu Chang'an's Cloud Sand Body Refining Technique had reached the third level of cultivation, vaguely touching the fourth level and encountering a bottleneck.
The fourth layer of the Body Refining Technique corresponds to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
In recent years, Lu Chang'an has been purchasing a small amount of second-order spirit sand stones.
"Rune Master Lu, come to my residence quickly!"
Lu Chang'an was playing with the Xuan Shui Turtle in the courtyard when a sound transmission note flew in, carrying Du Wei's voice.
"Could it be?"
Lu Chang'an's heart stirred as he put away his spirit pet and left the Water Moon Residence.
......
Dan Xin Residence.
Lu Changan just entered Du Wei's residence and met Su Yue Tong who arrived almost simultaneously.
This time, Su Yue Tong was not alone.
Beside him was a tall and thin man with a waxen face at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Lu Chang'an sensed that this person had reached the limit of the ninth level of Qi Refining, regardless of his cultivation or divine sense, surpassing many of his peers.
"This is my Dao Couple, Nie Xiang."
Su Yue Tong briefly introduced him.
The tall and thin man "Nie Xiang" was quiet, nodding his head and glancing at Lu Chang'an.
This man's gaze was as calm as a dead lake.
Lu Chang'an could faintly feel a fierce aura.
The Yellow Dragon Immortal City is adjacent to the Black Mist Mountain Range, and the surrounding area is quite chaotic. If you are able to cultivate to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, you are by no means a good person, and most of them have experienced killing, so it's normal to have a fury.
"Several friends have arrived, follow me to my master's residence."
Du Wei didn't have any nonsense, and led the three of them to set off.
......
Not long after, a group of four people flew to the Yellow Dragon Place at the foot of the Yellow Dragon Mountain.
There was the aura of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators in this place from time to time, so several people were careful while flying.
Lu Changan entered Master Hua Dan's residence for the third time.
This time, Du Wei didn't inform them and led them directly to the Alchemy Hall at the back of the residence.
In the courtyard in front of the Hall of Alchemy.
In addition to Lu Chang'an and his group, there were also two groups of people, five or six in total.
These two groups of people were led by people at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining.
They were a buxom woman in her forties and a graceful young man in a long shirt.
They were referred to as Mrs. Liu and Mr. Zhou in conversation.
Mrs. Liu was introduced by another disciple of Master Hua Dan.
Mr. Zhou contacted Master Hua through other channels.
At this time, a crane hair childish skinny old man, from the alchemy hall out of the body of mana breath is just like a foundation stage cultivator.
"Master Hua Dan."
All the cultivators present bowed their hands and saluted.
"Take out your materials and I will check them."
Master Hua Dan swept his divine sense and nodded at the leaders of the three parties.
Duke Zhou, Lady Liu, and Su Yue Tong, each took out the materials in their storage bags.
Nie Xiang, who was behind Su Yue Tong, kept a low profile and left the entertainment to his partner.
"It is not easy for Mr. Zhou to get this three hundred year old Xuan Ling Fruit."
When counting the materials, Master Hua Dan praised and commented.
The value of a Spiritual Herb is not entirely measured by its year.
Even if a mundane tree grows for a thousand years, it is still not as valuable as a ten-year portion of spiritual medicine.
"Xuan Ling Guo, a second-order spirit fruit, growing in a harsh environment, is the most precious main ingredient of the Foundation Establishment Pill, it takes three hundred years to reach the standard."
Relevant information appeared in Lu Chang'an's mind.
The Xuan Ling Fruit belongs to the strategic resources monopolized by the big powers. Lu Chang'an's collection of Foundation Establishment Pill materials lacked such a rare main ingredient.
"Hmm, Illusory Heart Grass, Moon Kwai Branch, February Tears......"
Master Hua Dan also counted the materials provided by Madam Liu and Su Yue Tong.
Repeatedly sifting through them twice, he confirmed that the ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill's refinement were all in order.
"Fellow Daoists, before refining the pills, I'd like to make it clear. Due to the difficulty in finding the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill, second-ranked alchemists who are not from a major power do not have a high proficiency in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill."
Hearing this, the crowd nodded slightly.
Second rank alchemists, can refine Foundation Building Dan, but they can't have as much practice as ordinary pills.
"The number of times that the old immortal has refined Foundation Establishment Dan is not that many. Normally, two pills can be made; three pills can be made with good play; if you are unlucky, you may only make one."
Master Hua Dan is saying this right up front.
He was willing to help out with the refining, apart from the due payment, being able to have more experience in practicing was also a reason.
