Chapter 71: Second Order Middle Grade
Returning to Water Moon Residence.
Lu Chang'an was patient and continued to wait for his chance.
Anyway, he has plenty of life span and still needs some more years to reach the peak of the 9th level of Qi Refining.
"Brother Lu, this is the spirit stones from selling talismans in the past month."
On this day, Guan Qiaozhi handed Lu Changan a bag containing spirit stones.
After Daoist Master Guan passed away.
Guan Qiaozhi didn't go back to her stall and focused on serving Lu Changan and providing raw materials for talismans. The talismans drawn by Lu Chang'an were sold by Guan Qiaozhi and matched with familiar customers.
After living in Fairview Place for more than ten years, Lu Chang'an's talismans have gained a good reputation, and he now has a group of stable customers.
Lu Chang'an, who is past his prime, has demonstrated his skills as a first-ranked talisman master, which is a natural progression.
"These ten spirit stones, you keep them for your usual use."
Lu Changan left some for Guan Qiaozhi.
"Thank you, big brother Lu." Guan Qiaozhi's pretty eyes flickered.
In the evening, Lu Chang'an prepared to draw the talisman, the materials were prepared in advance.
"Brother Lu, I'll help you make the spirit ink."
Guan Qiaozhi entered the talisman room.
She wore a hazy skirt veil, with no close-fitting clothes underneath, and with that exquisite bright and pure young girl's face, she appeared to be purely desirous and moving.
Lu Changan glanced at her, "Change your clothes."
"Uh-huh."
Guan Qiaozhi's pretty face was like a flaming cloud, she quickly went back to her room and changed into a set of jacket, a long skirt that reached her feet, not even showing her calves.
Lu Chang'an nodded his head in satisfaction.
Only after Guan Qiaozhi had prepared the spirit ink and left the talisman room did he begin to draw the talisman.
......
In a flash, three years passed.
Lu Chang'an was already sixty-five years old.
He didn't wait for the "Xuan Ling Fruit", at least in the circle of Huadan masters, no one provided this item.
The entire Yellow Dragon Immortal City may not.
Lu Changan, as a Qi Refining Cultivator, including Du Wei, had limited access to the upper circles.
It was the Xuan Ling Fruit in the hands of Fu Xuemei that later yielded results.
The disciples of the Huadan Master line helped to establish a bridge and lead the way.
A family cultivator at the 9th level of Qi Refining paid a lot of money and cooperated with others to provide the rest of the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
This time, Master Hua performed well and produced three Foundation Establishment Pills.
Two genuine products and one inferior product.
The cooperation between the two parties went smoothly.
That family cultivator not only got the Foundation Establishment Pill, but also formed a good relationship with Fu Xuemei.
Two years ago, Lu Chang'an was silent for a moment when he learned of this news.
If he had cooperated at that time, a genuine Foundation Establishment Pill would have already arrived.
There are times when being overly prudent does reduce the risk, but it is inevitable that you will miss out on some opportunities.
"I am fortunate if I get it, but I will lose it."
Lu Chang'an cultivated his Sheng Kung Fu, his mind quickly adjusted and did not dwell on this matter.
In fact, he also waited for a good news.
After so many years of watching, that Master Hua Dan's alchemy skills had significantly improved.
According to Du Wei, Master Hua Dan has touched the threshold of a second-rank top-grade elixir master, although he has yet to truly step into it.
In terms of alchemy attainments, excluding those from the big powers, Master Hua Dan is considered to be one of the best in Huanglong Immortal City.
As for Du Wei, due to his many concubines and children, and his greed for enjoyment, he has only touched the threshold of a second-order lower-grade talisman master over the years.
......
Three years.
Due to Lu Changan stepping into the ninth level of Qi Refining, his divine sense has increased again, reaching thirty-seven or eight zhang.
At the early stage of Foundation Establishment, the range of Divine Sense is around 30 feet.
In other words, Lu Chang'an's Divine Sense is slightly stronger than a normal early stage Foundation Establishment.
The benefit brought about by this was the increase in Lu Changan's ability to draw talismans.
When he was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he could at most draw second-order lower-grade talismans, which were considered powerful cards.
Now, he can attempt to draw second-order mid-grade talismans.
However, due to the limitations of magic power and materials, the success rate is low.
Lu Chang'an selected better second-order lower-grade talisman paper, paid a small price, and relied on the exquisite skills of a third-order talisman master in his previous life to refine three second-order middle-grade talismans.
What does it mean to be a second-order mid-grade talisman?
With the guidance and control of Lu Changan's powerful divine sense, it can bring into play the power of spells in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
If utilized properly, there is a chance to kill or even exterminate an early stage Foundation Establishment spell in a real battle.
Of course, if it is an ordinary late-stage qi refining stage, even if you get a second-stage middle-grade talisman, it will be difficult to accurately guide and control it, so the threat to the Foundation Establishment stage will be greatly reduced.
If it is not controlled properly, it may accidentally injure itself.
......
"Brother Lu, recently Yellow Dragon Immortal City is going to hold a large auction, are you going to attend?"
In the courtyard, Guan Qiaozhi re-changed the water in the Xuan Shui turtle's pool, her pretty eyes flickered as she asked expectantly. "I won't be attending, during the auction, the neighborhood is bustling, you buy something you like."
Lu Changan handed Guan Qiaozhi a small bag of spirit stones.
"Thank you Brother Lu, this puppet dog can help watch the house when I'm not around."
Guan Qiaozhi smiled happily and took out a seven-foot long puppet dog from her storage bag, its material resembling wood and gold, with a pair of deep green eyes turning slightly.
Guan Qiaozhi performed a simple puppet control technique, and the puppet dog ran around the yard.
The turtle was scared and hid in the pool with a poof.
Guan Qiaozhi's puppet dog was a gift from her neighbor, Sang Puppeteer. Because Guan Qiaozhi is very skillful, she has helped Sang Puppeteer to deal with the puppet parts.
Lu Changan looked at it for a moment and showed a strange color.
Although this puppet dog is only of the lower first rank, but from its more flexible movements, its refining method is beyond that of an ordinary first rank puppet master.
He had the experience of being a dan practitioner in his previous life, so he was able to see the details.
Lu Changan had dealt with Sang Puppeteer when he first moved to Water Moon Residence.
At that time, he inquired that the Sang Puppeteer could only build first-order mid-grade puppets.
"In the last twenty years, has Puppet Master Sang's puppetry skills improved greatly? Or was it originally concealed in the first place?"
Lu Chang'an wondered.
If Sang Puppeteer could build a first-order top-tier puppet, it would be a regular battle force supplement for him.
After all, Evergreen Kung Fu was not good at fighting, so it was estimated that he would have to live for a few hundred years before there was a qualitative change.
......
Yellow Dragon Immortal City, the day of the large-scale auction is getting closer and closer.
This scale of auction, Lu Chang'an has been there before, there are late stage Foundation Establishment, False Dan real people exist.
Even if he went there, he didn't dare to make a move easily.
It would be better to do more than less, so he didn't bother to participate.
Ten days before the large-scale auction, the flow of people in Yellow Dragon Immortal City increased dramatically.
Lu Changan's Water Moon Residence welcomes guests from far and wide.
"But Lu Chang'an's residence?"
An old and low voice came from the entrance of the compound.
"Elder, you are?"
Guan Qiaozhi surveyed an old man wearing a bucket hat in front of her.
With a cultivation of the ninth level of Qi Refining, he has a calm and steady demeanor, with the aura of an old Confucian.
The years and the wrinkles on his face could not hide his former handsomeness.
"I, 'Mu Maode', have come to pay a visit to Master Lu Fu."
The aging old man arched his hand with a peaceful smile.
"Qiaozhi, quickly let Elder Mu in."
Lu Chang'an was frolicking with the Xuan Shui Turtle by the pool and hurriedly got up to greet him.
"Lu Chang'an, after so many years, you haven't changed a bit."
The aged old man had a complicated look on his face as he stepped into the courtyard.
In Lu Chang'an's line of sight.
The green-shirted Confucian middle-aged man from forty to fifty years ago, in front of the mountain gate of Golden Cloud Valley, gradually overlapped with the aged figure in front of him.
Lu Chang'an is now sixty-five years old.
From this, it can be deduced that Mu Maode is at least over the age of eighty-five, not far from a hundred.
Most Immortal practitioners can slow down the aging process.
But once they approach the end of their lifespan, their appearance will age rapidly and return to their original form.
"It's just a small way to nourish your life with wood system techniques, senior Mu please come to the humble abode and have a seat."
Lu Changan raised his hand to welcome him.
