Chapter 97: Examining Spirit Veins
Having an abundance of Spirit Stones on hand.
Lu Chang'an had the confidence to plot for a spirit wood above the top grade of the second rank and implement the Treasure Talisman plan.
"Life Extension Pill, buy it if you can, but disguise your identity."
First-order life-extension pills occasionally appear in the marketplace auctions, as long as the heart is not difficult to find. Second-order life-extension pills, on the other hand, are much rarer, and only large-scale auctions may appear.
"A very high grade defense artifact, can get your hands on one."
Lu Changan pondered.
Using an Extreme Grade Magic Weapon at the early stage of Foundation Establishment would be more consuming.
Lu Chang'an's divine sense is strong and his Evergreen Kung Fu has a long chakra, so it's no problem to buy one for defense.
......
In Fei Yue Lake, Lu Chang'an no longer had anything important to do.
He helped the Mu family buy a second-order spirit beast, brought the Foundation Building Pill, and killed Young Lord Huang....... For the Mu family, his help wasn't too little.
As for Mu Xiu Yun, the two had been in the Bamboo Leaf Mountain for a few years, a kind of underground love affair, do not ask for results, good get together and good riddance.
In this life, Lu Chang'an is more indifferent to the love of men and women, and he doesn't mind helping them if he has the ability to do so.
Ordinary Foundation Establishment Pills, as well as inferior Foundation Establishment Pills.
For Mu Xiu Yun, who is over 70 years old and has failed to build her foundation once, it is not much different from sending poison.
To Mu Xiu Yun, who is over 70 years old and has failed to build her foundation once, it is not much different from giving her poison.
Failure to build the foundation once is even worse.
Lu Chang'an's existence has already changed her fate.
At least she will be able to live to a ripe old age and fulfill her role as a second-ranked talisman master within the clan, cultivating a successor to her mantle, surpassing most Immortal Cultivators.
If you fail to build the foundation at this age, you will be at great risk of aging drastically and losing the rest of your life.
......
Master Huang has just died.
In order to avoid suspicion, Lu Changan decided to play it safe and stay in the Mu family for another two months.
In the meantime, he will instruct Mu Bing Yun and Mu Er Shun.
Mu Ershun just returned to the family a few days ago.
Recently, he came to visit Lu Chang'an and sent his filial piety tonic.
"Your Uncle Lu is not yet in need of tonic."
Lu Chang'an made a stern face and criticized the scion, but still accepted the other party's goodwill.
......
The seventh day of Huang Yu's death.
The law enforcement cultivators from Golden Cloud Valley came to investigate Liang Shaotian's traces near the Mu Family.
Three Foundation Establishment cultivators came, including a late Foundation Establishment cultivator.
One of them was none other than Zhang Tieshan.
Knowing that Lu Chang'an was at Fei Yue Lake, Zhang Tieshan specially came over to pay his respects.
A small courtyard by the lake.
Lu Chang'an welcomed this young man with a slightly darker skin and an old-fashioned description of Foundation Establishment into his house.
"Brother Lu, after hearing the news of your ancient and rare Foundation Establishment, Mister Zhang has a lot of admiration. It is a pity that I was not in Yellow Dragon Immortal City that day, and was unable to send my congratulations at the first opportunity."
Zhang Tieshan took his seat and sighed.
This time, he also brought a congratulatory gift, a second-order demonic beast skin.
"Brother Zhang came over this time, is it for the purpose of apprehending Liang Shaotian?"
Lu Chang'an said curiously.
"Brother Lu overestimates Mister Zhang."
Zhang Tieshan shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Liang Shaotian has become a climatic force, it takes at least a False Dan real person to deal with him. We are only here to gather intelligence."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chang'an was slightly surprised.
Liang Shaotian's rapid growth was beyond many people's expectations.
However, this person already had great chances and was at least ten years older than Lu Chang'an.
Back then, when Lu Changan was at the fourth level of Qi Refining and 27 years old, Liang Shaotian was already a famous early stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
"Brother Zhang holds an important position in Golden Cloud Valley, is he clear about the spirit vein dojo that your clan rents and sells?"
Lu Changan took the opportunity to inquire about the Spirit Vein Dojo.
"Oh, Brother Lu has an interest in this area?"
Zhang Tieshan was a bit surprised.
Renting a Spirit Vein Dojo is more expensive than renting a house in Yellow Dragon Immortal City.
Yellow Dragon Immortal City's spiritual vein environment is fine, but the air of red dust is slightly heavy.
Certain valued Foundation Establishment cultivators who like to cultivate in an elegant environment would choose a separate spiritual vein dojo.
Lu Changan has been a talisman master for so many years, and has killed the evil-faced flying eagle and seized a lot of loot, so he is naturally worth a lot of money.
Zhang Tieshan thought about this and had a good idea in his heart.
He took out a jade cylinder and told Lu Changan the relevant information.
The spiritual vein information provided by Zhang Tieshan was limited to the Golden Cloud Valley, and the content was much more detailed, including some insider information.
For example, the strengths and weaknesses of each spirit vein dojo, and what are the hidden secrets behind it.
......
"Fellow Daoist Lu, there is a second-order mid-grade spirit vein that is very suitable for you." Zhang Tieshan pondered for a moment and suggested.
"Oh, which one is it?"
"That middle grade spirit vein wasn't in the information just now because it currently has an owner. It was originally shared by three Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and one of them had an accident, leaving a spot vacant."
Zhang Tieshan explained.
"Three Foundation Establishment cultivators sharing a room?" Lu Changan looked hesitant.
A second-stage middle-grade spirit vein meets his requirements.
Lu Changan rented the dojo with the intention of stabilizing it for a long period of time and cultivating for at least a few decades.
He hadn't thought about sharing a room with someone before.
"The location of that second-stage medium-grade spirit vein is called 'Wu Qi Mountain'. This mountain has three main peaks, five or six miles apart from each other, and each has a Foundation Establishment Cultivator stationed there."
Hearing this, Lu Chang'an was slightly shaken.
A mountain is divided into three peaks, cultivating with each other without interfering with each other. The cost of renting a spiritual vein dojo can be reduced by a lot.
At the same time, security is more guaranteed.
There are three Foundation Stage practitioners in charge of a spiritual vein, so they can take care of each other, and no ordinary evil cultivators would dare to think about it.
The premise is that there is no problem with the identity of the other two Foundation Establishment members.
"What are the followings of the two Foundation builders of Wu Qi Mountain?"
Lu Chang'an asked.
"These two Foundation Establishment cultivators, with clean origins, are a Dan Master and a Formation Master. Originally, there was also a refiner who went out to explore the cave and unfortunately died, which left a spot empty."
Zhang Tieshan introduced with a smile.
"This vacated a shared spot, not any Foundation Establishment cultivator can join. One must have a second-order skill on their side and have the consent of the other two masters on the mountain before they can rent the third peak."
So it's the Craftsman Alliance?
Lu Chang'an realized in his heart, no wonder Zhang Tieshan said it was suitable for him.
Three craftsmen of the Foundation Establishment stage, on the same spirit vein, each taking what they need, can produce a certain cluster effect.
For example, if a cultivator goes to Wu Qi Mountain to seek pills, he can buy some of Lu Chang'an's talismans along the way.
"Where is Wu Qi Mountain located?"
Lu Chang'an took out the maps and analyzed the geographical location under Zhang Tieshan's introduction.
Wu Qi Mountain is only a few hundred miles away from the Fox Valley, the top-grade spiritual vein that Lu Chang'an was interested in the other day.
It is located in the northwest of the center of Liang, not far from the Yellow Dragon Immortal City, Golden Cloud Valley, the Royal Beast Zhou Family, and Fei Yue Lake.
Lu Changan was naturally satisfied with the location.
A second-order medium-grade spiritual vein, it meets his requirements.
Lu Changan still had to inspect the specific situation on the ground.
Before Zhang Tieshan left, he left Lu Changan a letter of recommendation.
This is the role of clan connections.
The Immortal Cultivation World is so large that it would be difficult for an ordinary cultivator to have timely access to this kind of resource information.
......
In a flash, Lu Changan stayed at Fei Yue Lake for another two months.
During this period, Lu Changan not only instructed Mu Bingyun and Li Erqing, but also used more energy to study the puppet inheritance.
Utilizing the available materials, Lu Changan barely managed to refine a humanoid puppet of the lower first rank.
This humanoid puppet had many patches all over its body, and was tattered and torn.
Its combat power can only bully mortals.
Even so, Lu Changan's puppet talent was considered very good.
He had been learning puppetry for less than three months.
Now, stepping into the door of a first-rank puppeteer.
Lu Changan's alchemy skill, after decades of delving into it, is still stuck at the top of the first rank.
......
After becoming a First Order Puppeteer, Lu Chang'an did not stay any longer and said goodbye to the Mu Family.
"Big brother take care!"
The corners of Li Erqing's eyes were moist, and he and his son Mu Ershun sent them all the way out of Fei Yue Lake.
"There is no need to send again. You and I are both Foundation Establishment Cultivators, we will meet again in the future."
Lu Chang'an waved his hand, pedaled the flying boat, and rode the wind away.
Flying into the sky, Lu Chang'an glanced at the shrubbery in the distance.
Inside the shrubbery.
A green-skirted girl with starry eyes and white teeth, her face as clear as snow, silently watched the white-robed young man's departure.
"Uncle Lu, take care of yourself."
Mu Bing Yun's lips pursed, a trace of disappointment and loss appeared between her clear eyebrows.
Just two or three months. The man in white who seemed to have settled down over the years and was calm and serene left a deep impression in her mind.
Mu Bing Yun recalled what her master had once said about this man, "He was different from the men of his age at that time."
This time together.
On Lu Chang'an, Mu Bing Yun did not feel any of the old and deep aura of a senior person or a Foundation Establishment Elder.
On the contrary, this Uncle Lu, regardless of his appearance and body, or his mentality and temperament, was like her confidant of the same age, making him openly comfortable and pleasing to the eye.
This is a very good example of a young man's behavior.
"Master, if you didn't choose to stay in the family back then, would the ending be different?"
......
Lu Chang'an traveled all the way east.
For the next two months, inspecting those spirit veins dojos available for rent and sale.
Most of them were unsatisfactory.
There was a small second-order spirit vein that was inexpensive, but the location was rather remote, not surrounded by any Immortal Cultivation Clans or workshops, and slightly far from Huanglong Immortal City.
This day.
Lu Changan approached the hinterland of Liang and arrived at the "Wu Qi Mountain" recommended by Zhang Tieshan.
"A small to medium sized second rank middle grade spirit vein."
Lu Chang'an looked at the misty mountains in front of him and felt the rich spiritual energy in the ground.
In its center area, there were three peaks arranged in a zigzag pattern.
Lu Changan entered the beautiful Wu Qi Mountain through the clouds and mist, and went straight to the three main peaks in the center.
Whoosh!
On the other side of Wu Qi Mountain, a big, burly, gnarled bearded man with a foot on an Iron Leaf Boat flew close by.
It was an early stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"It's him?"
Lu Chang'an took a look and felt familiar and quickly remembered who it was.
"I'm Gu Lai, a second rank middle grade refiner. What is this fellow Daoist's name?"
The gnarled bearded man arched his hand, his eyes narrowing slightly as he surveyed Lu Changan.
