Chapter 147 Liaoyuan Xiancheng
"Oh? Could it be that the real culprit who killed Hua Danshi and framed Boss Xiang was related to Wu Qishan?"
The skinny old man blinked and guessed.
Xiang Jinglong was brooding over this matter.
In the past, only Xiang Jinglong robbed and murdered others. I was extremely upset when I was splashed with dirty water and became the one who took the blame.
"No!"
Xiang Jinglong shook his head and denied, "The three peak masters of Wuqi Mountain are quite good, but they are far from what they can do."
Eighteen years ago, Wu Qishan was in the middle stage of foundation establishment as the highest cultivator, and the tortoise talisman master at that time was only in the early stage of foundation establishment.
Alchemist Hua possesses means of protection such as talisman treasures.
Even a ruthless person like him who is at the peak of foundation establishment is not sure to win, let alone crush him quickly.
Xiang Jinglong questioned alchemist Lin Ye from alchemist Lin Ye and found out that alchemist Hua had schemed against Lu Changan, and behind the scenes was Fu Xuemei, the closed disciple of real Huanglong.
From his point of view: Lu Changan is also a victim, even though he hates him, he is powerless.
As for Hua Danshi, he guessed it was the upper black gloves.
Maybe the pig was fattened up and slaughtered. Or know some secret, and be murdered by the upper echelon. In order to attract people's eyes and ears, they planted and framed them, and left behind magic tricks to confuse the public.
"It's not Wu Qishan, it's..."
"A certain family already has a plan! But the real culprit behind the scenes is too high-level. You know too much is not a good thing."
Xiang Jinglong snorted coldly, with evil spirit in his eyes.
"Wait for a certain family to form a fake pill, and then thoroughly investigate and liquidate this matter!"
After speaking, he withdrew his gaze from Wu Qishan, turned around and flew to the southeast.
"Boss Xiang, you don't want to seek real pills anymore?"
"What a real pill! With the qualifications of a certain family, at this age, it is not easy to make a fake pill."
…
Half a month later.
Wuqi Mountain, Xiaoguifeng.
Two foundation-building visits, a man and a woman.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, Mrs. Jiang brought Ms. Shen over here to thank you."
Jiang Yechen was dressed in a brocade purple robe, handsome and feminine, with sword eyebrows and cold stars.
He joined hands with the woman in white with a beautiful face and a peaceful temperament. It was Miss Shen who had awakened.
"The little girl 'Shen Bixin' is here to thank Fellow Daoist Lu for saving her life."
Miss Shen gave a salute, her words and deeds were decent, and she had the scholarly talent of a lady.
It's just that the injury has not healed, and the beautiful face shows a morbid paleness.
"Ms. Shen is serious. Lu is only assisting in medical treatment, not saving lives."
Lu Changan said politely.
"Really? Ye Daoyou once said that without the help of Lu Daoyou, the treatment that day would probably fail."
Miss Shen's bright eyes settled on his face and paused for a few breaths.
During the treatment that day, although Shen Bixin was in a coma, she was somewhat dimly conscious.
She fell into an endless dark and icy abyss.
Until a certain moment, there was a verdant warmth rushing from the bottom of the chest.
The warmth contained the vitality of the dead wood, which made her see the dawn of life in the dark, and aroused a more tenacious will to fight against death.
After questioning afterwards, Shen Bixin had an intuition that Lu Changan also played a key role in saving her.
"Hehe, Miss Shen, don't be serious, Daoist Ye and I have always praised each other."
Lu Changan couldn't help but laugh.
In the previous treatment, he did not consume his life energy to perform the evergreen secret technique.
With the improvement of cultivation base, living longer and longer, the mana of Evergreen is increasing day by day.
Even if it is normal healing, the effect is quite outstanding.
But this kind of treatment effect is only more prominent, not beyond common sense.
Some ancient wood-based exercises have better healing effects.
In the cave, Lu Changan entertained Jiang Yechen and Shen Bixin.
The two are currently in a relationship of lovers, and they have not yet reached the step of being a Taoist couple.
Shen Bixin is the eldest lady of a medium-sized chamber of commerce in Liaoyuan Immortal City, and the fake real person who sits in the chamber of commerce is her grandfather.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, this is the VIP order of the 'Tengxing Chamber of Commerce'. If you come to a store under our chamber of commerce, you can enjoy a discount and buy some limited and scarce resources."
Shen Bixin presented a cyan bronzing token.
"Miss Shen has a heart."
Lu Changan planned to go to Liaoyuan Xiancheng in the future, so he didn't refuse.
"I heard that Fellow Daoist Lu has outstanding talisman skills and the quality of the talismans he sells is reliable. Can the little girl buy some for the chamber of commerce?"
Shen Bixin's face became dimpled, and he proposed a deal again.
Lu Changan didn't have time to think: "No problem, Lu only sells second-order talismans, and the supply is limited."
"It's okay, second-order talismans are relatively scarce in the major fairy cities of Liang Kingdom."
Shen Bixin nodded and said.
Later, she saw Lu Changan take out a small box, which contained several thick stacks of talismans.
"These are all second-order talismans?"
Shen Bixin was slightly moved, and her bright eyes were shining brightly.
Rao is the spirit stone she has in hand, she can't eat this box of talismans at all.
"Well, mainly the second-tier middle and lower grades. The second-tier top grades, currently there are only two or three."
Lu Changan pushed the small box over and let Shen Bixin choose.
"Second-rank high-grade talisman?"
Shen Bixin thought to himself, Lu Changan's talisman skill has reached the second-level top-grade.
Actually, Lu Changan intentionally began to gradually reveal the second-level top-rank talisman master skills.
Limited by materials and talents, in Liang Guoxiu Immortal Realm, it can be said that there are very few talisman masters whose skills can reach the second-level top-rank.
Not long after, Lu Changan and Shen Bixin completed a deal.
Shen Bixin spent more than 8,000 spirit stones to buy 20 or 30 second-tier talismans from Lu Changan. In addition to the middle and lower grades, there were also three second-tier top-grade talismans.
Suitable for the mid-to-late stage of foundation establishment, the ultimate magic weapon is generally worth about two thousand spirit stones.
Talismans are consumables, so the cost performance is actually low.
Because, ordinary second-tier top-grade talismans are not as powerful as the top-grade magic tools controlled in the later stage of foundation establishment.
The cultivator controls the magic weapon of the same level, and casts the secret technique, which is more powerful than the ordinary spell of the talisman.
…
Half an hour later, Lu Changan sent Shen Bixin and Jiang Yechen out of the cave.
"It's best for the two fellow Taoists to stay in Wuqi Mountain for a while, and wait for Miss Shen to recover from her injuries before leaving."
Lu Changan said kindly.
Jiang Yechen and Shen Bixin understood the reason, and nodded their heads in thanks.
It is not certain whether the three Jiexiu who attacked before were squatting around Wuqi Mountain.
The caves of the three main peaks of Wuqi Mountain, in principle, do not allow trading guests to stay overnight.
A few days ago, the two lived in the guest room at the foot of Xiaodan Peak.
Several months later.
Shen Bixin recovered from her injuries, and came to Xiaoguifeng with Jiang Yechen again, and officially said goodbye.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Lu Changan pondered.
Jiang Yechen and Shen Bixin are both aptitude and potential foundation cultivators.
Jiang Yechen, a high-grade spiritual root, severed ties with the Jiang family, one of the seven great families.
This person also has a small chance.
When he was competing for the peak master, Lu Changan discovered that Jiang Yechen had a soul artifact on his body.
This is extremely rare among Foundation Establishment monks.
This means that Lu Changan's method of instantly killing Hua Danshi, Huang Shaozhu and others with the secret technique of divine consciousness will hardly work against Jiang Yechen.
Shen Bixin's aptitude is slightly inferior to Jiang Yechen's, but she comes from an extraordinary background. Through her own chamber of commerce, it is easier to obtain some scarce cultivation resources.
…
One year from now.
Lu Changan finally left Wuqi Mountain and flew to the southeast.
The goal of this trip is Liaoyuan Xiancheng.
The first fairy city in Liang State is located in the center of Liang State, on the east side of Lihuo Palace.
Because Jiang Yechen and two people came to Wuqi Mountain for treatment, and the possible robbery nearby, Lu Changan postponed his departure for a full year.
He went to Liaoyuan Fairy City this time, in addition to purchasing scarce supplies, he also wanted to let the Xuanshuigui advance outside.
It is said that Liaoyuan Immortal City even rents out caves with third-order spiritual veins.
Wicked beasts are promoted to the second level, and their movements are much smaller. In the higher-level and more prosperous Liaoyuan Immortal City, they are even more inconspicuous.
The geographical location of Mount Wuqi is not too far from the hinterland of Liang State, much closer than starting from Jinyun Valley.
However, he deliberately spared the area around the "Li Huo Palace" and flew for two or three days longer.
This day.
A vast dark red plain came into Lu Changan's field of vision.
At first glance, the terrain texture of the dark red plain looks like burning maple leaves.
The temperature of the surrounding environment has risen significantly, ordinary mortals cannot survive at all, and it has become a forbidden area in the secular world
Here is the "Fire Plain".
Lihuo Palace and Liaoyuan Xiancheng are both located on this hot plain.
Another half-day flight.
In the distant sky, the sky is covered with smoke and fire.
That is a natural formation formed by volcanoes.
In the center surrounded by eight volcanoes, there is a huge volcano, on which stands a fairy city covering an area of seven to eight hundred miles, the whole body is piled up with red spar.
Overlooking from a high altitude, it looks like a burning red agate.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Approaching the "City of Liaohuo", Lu Chang'an occasionally encountered monks in the foundation building period.
Occasionally there are fake alchemy real people shuttling through, and the powerful spiritual pressure makes the nearby monks fear and avoid.
Fortunately, those real people, the stronger their cultivation base, the higher their flying heights, and they rarely meet ordinary monks face to face.
"The fire aura in Liaoyuan Immortal City is strong, which is more suitable for fire-type exercises and weapon refiners to settle in."
A thought flashed in Lu Changan's mind, and he flew to a gate in Liaoyuan Immortal City.
In the side hall next to the gate, pay the spirit stone and receive a temporary identity card.
…
Lu Changan disguised a new identity in advance through the Imaginary Mask.
Masquerade mask, which can store up to three identities' appearance signs and mana breath.
The original three identities had doubts and criminal evidence, and Lu Changan had already erased and replaced them.
His image at the moment is that of an ordinary-looking young man.
This identity is based on a qi refining cultivator from a passerby in a remote area in the northern part of Wuqi Mountain.
The mask can also make small adjustments to the facial features of the identity.
According to the wearer's consciousness, the Imaginary Mask can also adjust the cultivation level of the simulated identity.
For example, Lu Changan at this time.
The cultivation base not only did not hide the lowered adjustment, but also raised it to the late foundation establishment stage.
The resources he wants to purchase are of higher quality.
Xiu has a high status, it is more convenient to do things, and it can also reduce the risk of being targeted.
Liaoyuan Xiancheng has no strict distinction between inner city and outer city.
The terrain of Xiancheng gradually increases from south to north.
The further north you go, the better the spiritual environment.
The northernmost "City Lord's Mansion" and "Lihuo Hall" enjoy a quasi-fourth-order spirit vein environment.
Lu Changan settled in a high-end inn in the north of the center of the city, and was able to enjoy the cultivation environment of the second-order spiritual vein.
The price is naturally expensive, which is twice as high as renting a mountain spirit vein in Wuqi Mountain for a year.
"There are three months left, and it will be the annual medium-sized auction in Liaoyuan Immortal City."
Lu Changan wandered around the city for half a day, and got a piece of news.
Naturally, he would not miss this kind of opportunity.
This kind of auction once a year, the grade will not be particularly high, at most there will be some fake alchemy monks, a few monks in the early and middle stages of alchemy.
Before the auction starts.
Lu Changan searched for the necessary supplies in various large stores in the city.
Puppet materials and talisman materials of the second-tier top grade.
Third-level spiritual bamboo, second-level longevity pill, jiedan auxiliary medicine, magic weapon material, wood-type magic weapon embryo, etc.
Even, Lu Changan also paid attention to the material of Zhuyan Pill.
When he killed Hua Danshi back then, he got the key medicine of Zhuyan Pill.
"Taking Zhuyan Pill can maintain a youthful appearance, which is slightly different from the effect brought by Changqing Gong."
If conditions permit, Lu Changan would like to take a Zhuyan Pill.
In this way, it will be difficult for high-level monks in the future to see the small flaws in his youthfulness through his appearance.
…
Two months later.
Lu Changan had a small harvest in Liaoyuan Immortal City.
Puppet materials of the second-tier high-grade are purchased in large quantities, which cost a lot and can be used for many years.
Second-rank high-grade spiritual bamboo, I bought two.
Second-order life extension pill, I bought one.
I also collected a few materials about Zhuyan Dan.
For this, Lu Changan spent more than 10,000 spirit stones.
Procurement is going so far.
In addition to the high level of the Liaoyuan Immortal City, Lu Changan's "late foundation establishment" cultivation base and the "Tengxing Chamber of Commerce" VIP order presented by Shen Bixin played a certain role.
Tengxing Chamber of Commerce has more than a dozen large and small shops in Liaoyuan Xiancheng, with certain channels.
"Unfortunately, the Tengxing Chamber of Commerce can only be regarded as a medium-sized chamber of commerce in Liaoyuan Immortal City, far inferior to the status of 'Huanglong Pavilion' in Huanglong Immortal City."
Lu Changan felt a little regretful.
If he can get the VIP order of "Li Huo Palace", he can buy higher-end restricted resources in Liaoyuan Immortal City.
Lihuo Palace manages the major industries and upper berths of Lihuo Palace under the name of Liaoyuan Immortal City, similar to Huanglong Pavilion in Huanglong Immortal City.
It can be seen from this that the Huanglong Pavilion token that Fu Xuemei gave him back then provided a lot of convenience in Huanglong Immortal City.
…
One month later.
Lu Changan participated in the medium-sized auction held by Lihuo Temple as scheduled.
Auctions at this level are basically all cultivation bases above the Foundation Establishment Stage.
A small number of qi refining monks also followed their elders to gain knowledge.
There were more than 20 people from the fake alchemy masters, and two or three people from the alchemy masters, all of whom were at the initial stage of cultivation.
At the end of the first half of the auction, there was an auction of Jidan, and there were two auctions at a time.
The competition is fierce, surpassing Huanglong Xiancheng.
Participants basically have fake backgrounds.
One of them was bought by Master Jiedan, and the other monks did not dare to force it.
Just imagine, when Lu Changan was refining Qi on the eighth or ninth floor, how dare he come here to compete for the Foundation Establishment Pill?
The same goes for ordinary foundation-building families.
"Liaoyuan Immortal City is backed by the Lihuo Palace, gathering elites from all over the Liang Kingdom. There are too many well-known monks, so it is not suitable for casual cultivators who have no footsteps."
Lu Changan has a conclusion.
In the core area of the Liaoyuan Immortal City, if you provoke a young monk at will, it is very likely that you will involve the Foundation Establishment monk. Bad luck, it's a fake background.
"The third-order low-grade spiritual bamboo 'Kuqing bamboo' is produced by Qingzhumen. The bamboo shoots of this bamboo can be used as a third-order auxiliary medicine, and the body can also be used as a low-level magic weapon material."
"This time, Green Bamboo Gate is selling three 'Bitter Bamboo', each starting at two thousand spirit stones."
The auctioneer introduced.
"The third-order spiritual bamboo of Qingzhumen is rarely sold to the outside world. This time, three of them are sold at once?"
Lu Changan felt a little strange.
In the venue, many monks showed surprise.
Third-order spiritual bamboo, there are some competitors on the field; Lu Changan's cultivation in the late stage of foundation establishment, with more than 3,000 spiritual stones, is enough to get one.
Extreme grade magic weapon is worth two thousand, low-level magic weapon is worth tens of thousands, and ordinary third-level materials only fluctuate in this range.
The third-grade mid-grade spirit wood that Zhang Tieshan sold at that time was relatively small, and he gave it at a friendly price.
What Lu Changan bought this time was a complete third-order spiritual bamboo, full of spirituality.
If a skilled craftsman takes action, it may be used as the main embryo of the prototype of the wood-type magic weapon.
It's just that this kind of wood magic weapon material is not very attractive to Lu Changan who has already repaired the prototype of a magic weapon.
The embryo of the wood-type magic weapon he dreams of is the Xuanmu vine, a spiritual creature of heaven and earth, which can be cultivated as a natal magic weapon.
The magic weapon of life is not a trifling matter. Even if you ask for a lower level, at least the third-order high-grade wood-type spirits must be used as raw materials.
…
"Adjuvant medicine for forming alchemy, third-grade Huojing jujube, an important auxiliary material for refining the third-grade 'Congealing Crystal Pill'. Even if it is taken alone, it has a slight gain effect on the impact of forming alchemy."
Involving elixirs and adjuvants, the next auction will set off an upsurge.
Participants are basically at the peak of the late foundation establishment stage, and the competition is in full swing.
Lu Changan's cultivation was simulated to be in the late stage of foundation establishment, almost at its peak, and its effect was reflected.
Participating in the auction at this moment does not seem awkward at all.
In this auction, more than one elixir auxiliary medicine was sold.
In the case of trying not to attract attention, he wanted to try to take a picture.
