Chapter 149 One Hundred Years of Immortal Cultivation
"Thank you, Daoist Master, for your generosity."
Lu Changan took a few middle-grade spirit stones, and thanked them respectfully on the surface, but felt weird in his heart, which was a bit funny.
A medium-grade spirit stone is worth more than hundreds of low-grade spirit stones.
This casual gift is equivalent to hundreds of low-grade spirit stones. For the monks who established the foundation, it is not a small fortune.
"Um."
Xiang Jinglong glanced lightly, maintaining the majesty of the real person.
He didn't stay, he didn't even ask Lu Changan's name, and flew to a certain direction in the city.
"Didn't recognize me."
Lu Chang'an probably saw that Xiang Jinglong's promotion to the fake real person was purely excited, and he casually gave a reward to the first junior who congratulated him.
"The effect of the Hundred Fantasy Mask is good, even facing the fake pill, it didn't show its feet."
Watching Xiang Jinglong go away, Lu Changan was satisfied.
Although Xiang Jinglong has a bad reputation, there is no grievance between Lu Changan and him.
Back then, Xiang Jinglong once robbed Hua Danshi and helped Lu Changan take the blame, so he diverted his attention.
Now, I have received a small favor of several hundred spirit stones.
From a certain point of view, Xiang Jinglong can be regarded as half of his allies, or a high-quality anti-push position.
More subtle yet.
According to information, Xiang Jinglong has hatred for Huanglongshan for some reason.
Tianzhilou is not an ordinary intelligence force. Its background is mysterious and spread all over the surrounding Xiuxian Kingdom.
The background is so big that even the Palace of Fire should be a bit afraid.
Since Xiang Jinglong was mentioned in the intelligence, it means that this person, at least in the dark, had spoken and acted unfavorably or hostilely towards Huanglong Mountain.
In a quarter of an hour.
Lu Changan found a teahouse and sat down.
For the sake of caution, after careful inspection of the spirit stone bestowed by Xiang Jinglong with his spiritual sense, he confirmed that there was no flaw left.
Afterwards, he sorted out the harvest of his first visit to the Liaoyuan Immortal City.
"At the auction, a third-order spiritual bamboo and a elixir supplementary 'Wuqi grass' were auctioned."
"For the purchase in the first three months, I got one second-order life-extending pill and two second-order high-grade spiritual woods."
"I bought a large quantity of materials for the second-tier high-grade puppets, and after returning home, I will attack the second-tier top-grade puppet masters."
"In addition, the materials for Zhuyan Pill have gathered 30%."
Zhuyan Pill, Lu Changan has the key main medicine, so he paid attention to it and bought some materials.
In general, this trip was very fruitful.
The overhead is also quite large.
Adding up the scattered items, Lu Changan spent nearly 20,000 spirit stones in total.
Ninety-five percent of the foundation-building monks cannot afford such financial resources.
That is him, who made a fortune during the beast tide, once sold the Foundation Establishment Pill, as well as the rich spoils of killing Hua Danshi and the Jiexiu gang.
After this consumption, most of Lu Changan's accumulated spirit stones were consumed.
However, the prices of the materials and second-order talismans he hoarded and invested in during the beast tide have returned to normal, and half of them have not been sold.
There is even an extra Foundation Establishment Pill.
As long as he does not lack spirit stones for such strategic resources, he is not in a hurry to make a move.
…
More than half a month later.
Lu Changan returned to Mount Wuqi.
The first thing to do when you come back is to transform the aura in Xiaoguifeng.
The three main peaks of Wuqi Mountain, in principle, only one foundation-building monk is allowed to practice permanently on each of them.
Before, in Xiaoguifeng, apart from Lu Changan, a foundation builder, there was also a second-level monster, the rock rat.
The practice of monsters requires much less spiritual energy, and with the small number of people in Xiaoguifeng, the burden on the second-level spiritual veins is not equal to that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment.
Therefore, the other two peaks have no opinion on this.
Now, Xuanshuigui has also been promoted to the second rank, and the burden of Xiao Guifeng on the second rank's spiritual veins will increase again, which will appear abnormal.
With the assistance of the rock rat, Lu Changan transformed a small spiritual energy array under the cave.
Adding a small amount of spirit stones to it regularly, Xiao Guifeng's demand for spirit veins can be maintained at a normal level on the surface.
After completing the formation.
Xuan Shuigui usually hides his cultivation, and can practice silently and gently.
Dongfu secret room.
Lu Changan, who had reached the age of 116, took the second-order longevity pill purchased this time.
This is the fourth second-order longevity pill he took.
"Extended life by eleven years."
Lu Changan slowly opened his eyes.
In this way, the upper limit of his lifespan during the foundation-building period reached 461 years.
Perhaps the second-order Yanshou Pill is of a higher grade, and the effect of repeated use is attenuated, which is slightly smaller than that of the first-order.
Up to now, Lu Changan has never taken the high-quality Longevity Pill.
Because the effects of life-extending pills of the same grade cannot be superimposed, high-quality pills are becoming more and more precious, and will hardly be circulated in the market.
…
Followed by a period of time.
Lu Changan drew the third-grade spiritual bamboo "Kuqing Bamboo" and two second-grade and second-grade top-grade spiritual bamboos to make treasure charms.
After the middle stage of foundation establishment, it was faster for Lu Changan to light up the Jiuyin stele for the first generation.
Because the spiritual consciousness surpasses the ordinary late stage of foundation establishment, it is no longer necessary for the shadow of the soul of the first life to come to draw a second-level top-grade treasure talisman.
The coming of the first life, the blessing effect on him is getting smaller and smaller.
The second world lights up for a long time, and its power is unpredictable, so it should not be used easily.
half year later.
Lu Changan drew four quasi-third-rank treasure talismans and ten top-rank second-rank treasure talismans.
Plus the reserves accumulated before.
He now has a total of thirty-eight talismans.
Seven of them are painted with third-order spiritual wood veneer as the base material, which has greater power and potential for accumulation.
The previous three quasi-third-order treasures have been cultivated for more than ten years, and their power exceeds ordinary treasures, posing a greater threat to fake pills.
Due to the good material, there is still considerable room for improvement after decades of storage.
Secret room.
Lu Changan has accumulated thirty-eight treasure talismans at the same time, and there is still room to spare.
In the early stage of foundation establishment, Lu Changan could accumulate thirty treasure talismans at the same time every day.
After the middle stage of foundation building, at least fifty cards can be stored at the same time.
This is the advantage of mana growth.
…
After the treasure charm is formed.
Lu Changan will focus on attacking the second-tier top-rank puppet master next.
A few years ago, he was not promoted to the second-tier top-rank puppet master, mainly because the materials were not enough to practice.
In terms of talent and spiritual knowledge, there is no shackles.
After returning from Liaoyuan Immortal City, he purchased a large number of second-tier high-grade puppet materials, so he can study them with peace of mind.
Three months later.
Lu Changan spent one material to refine the second-order high-grade puppet, but ended in failure.
After the refined puppet is activated, its power is violent and uncontrollable, and its limbs burst open.
If it wasn't for Lu Chang'an's body training technique to reach the sixth level, his physical body would be comparable to the late stage of the second level, and he could control it in time, which almost caused an experimental accident.
Another two months passed.
Lu Changan recycled some parts, consumed half of the materials, and tried refining again.
This time, a turtle puppet was refined, which was stable and controllable.
However, this tortoise puppet only has a second-tier top-rank defense, and an elite second-tier middle-rank attack.
It can be regarded as a second-tier high-grade puppet of low quality.
Such progress is in line with Lu Changan's psychological expectations.
Puppets in the late stage of the second stage can improve his means of protection, which is only a phased goal.
If you can conquer the second-tier top-rank puppet masters and accumulate for a few more years, you may try to refine quasi-third-tier puppets in the future, whose combat power is comparable to that of fake real people.
…
A few days later, Lu Changan walked out of the cave, and did not continue to kowtow to the second-rank top-grade puppet master.
Relax properly and combine work with rest.
Cultivation of Immortals, the top grade of each stage, is the same as the later stage of a monk, and it is difficult to break through.
is equivalent to the master of this level.
If it weren't for Lu Changan's good talent and a lot of spare time, it would be impossible to cultivate to the second-level top-rank within the lifespan of the normal foundation-building period.
The rock mouse emerged from the cave with a vigorous figure, its eyes were bright, it turned around, waved its claws, eager to try.
"Oh? Want to attack the second-order late stage?"
Lu Changan signed a spiritual pet contract with the ground rock mouse, and easily understood the other party's meaning.
"He is full of energy and in good condition."
Lu Changan agreed.
Next, the ground rock mouse put down the work on the mountain for the time being, and concentrated on the impact of retreat.
Lu Changan specially designated a secret room for it and strengthened the restriction.
The big medicine of the previous year planted on the mountain also let the rock mouse pick a few as an aid.
The impact of the small realm, the movement and the risk are very small, and Lu Changan does not need to personally protect the law.
…
Half a month later.
Lu Changan set out to refine the second-order high-grade puppets.
Suddenly, he sensed a powerful fluctuation of demon power, which was rising rapidly.
In the secret room next door, evil winds and evil spirits swept through, exuding a sense of oppression, comparable to the late foundation establishment period.
"This step has finally been passed smoothly."
Lu Changan smiled.
The aptitude of the ground rock rat is equivalent to the top-grade spiritual root of human beings. In recent years, Lu Chang'an has provided a stable supply of food for spiritual pets, but it does not exceed the standard, which is above the middle level.
The ground rock mouse is not a long-lived species, and its life span is similar to that of humans.
It is currently promoted to the late stage of foundation establishment, its age is over one hundred and ten, and its progress is not fast.
Fortunately, the foundation is solid, without the help of broken-level pills, it was successfully promoted to the late stage of foundation establishment.
This made Lu Changan feel relieved.
In this way, there is some hope in the future to gather strength and condense a low-quality inner alchemy.
Compared to rock rats, Lu Changan did not go so smoothly.
Two months later.
After coming back, he refined the second-order high-grade puppet for the third time, but failed again.
Even with talent, this phenomenon is normal.
Cultivating all kinds of immortal arts, if you want to reach a high level, you need to spend money on any of them.
Talent, money, time and energy are all indispensable.
Some monks have good backgrounds and are not short of money, so they are often limited by talent or time and energy.
Cultivators with a true background do not need to study the various arts of cultivating immortals.
Concentrate on cultivating the Dao of Longevity, and naturally someone will help refine what you want.
…
Half a year later.
Xiaoguifeng secret room.
Lu Changan pieced together a sturdy, leopard-headed puppet covered in scales.
The leopard-headed puppet has dark red eyes, and holds a thick and heavy ax in each hand, giving it a bloodthirsty impact.
"Learning from the experience of the previous failures, and reconsidering all the details several times, there should be no major problems this time."
Lu Changan let out a long breath.
Open the scale armor cover on the back of the leopard-headed puppet, and insert a few middle-grade spirit stones into it.
Lu Changan used the puppet control technique.
The eyes of the leopard-headed puppet were shining brightly, and the big ax in his hand was raised, a heavy sense of oppression surged.
Whoosh!
The big ax in the leopard-headed puppet's hand swirled out in a cloud of dark wind, piercing through the restraint of the reinforced chamber.
Without hurting the wall, it turned back into the hand.
"Second-rank high-grade puppet master, finally accomplished."
Lu Changan showed joy on his face.
This leopard-headed puppet is good at attacking from the front. The big ax in its hand can be used for melee combat, and it can also spin around to injure the enemy at a medium distance.
The previous second-tier middle-grade javelin puppets were two against one, and most of them were not their opponents.
After all, its target is the later stage of Foundation Establishment, which can be called an overhaul of the same level.
Some foundation-building late stages with profound inheritance can even play two or three foundation-building mid-stages.
Puppets of the second-tier high-grade, the spirit stones are consumed quickly.
Lu Changan tested for a while, confirmed that all aspects met the standards, and put it into the storage bag.
Walk out of the cave.
He is blessed to the soul, and the evergreen mana in his body has gone through a round of years of changes, and there is a slight improvement.
The power of Changqing's mana is comparable to that of the internal disciples of Jinyun Valley.
At this moment, he is one hundred and eighteen years old.
"One hundred years of cultivating immortality..."
Lu Changan's mind was in a daze, and there was a slight ripple in Gujing's deep, waveless eyes.
The introverted breath on his body loosened.
The maid not far away, Lan Rou, rubbed her eyes lightly.
In a short moment, the man in white in the field of vision is like a century-old tree, tall and straight, exuding the vicissitudes of years of precipitation and refinement.
…
"The first life has not yet lived to this age, and has died for decades in order to compete for the opportunity to build a foundation."
"Second generation, this stage is still in the late stage of foundation establishment, and I am doing my best to plan the opportunity to form an alchemy."
"In this life, although the cultivation base of the same age is not as good as in the previous life, but the foundation is deeper, the mood is not in a hurry, and the strength is much higher."
Thinking of this, Lu Changan smiled.
At this age in the previous life, only the cultivation base surpassed this life.
The foundation, background, and strength are not as good as this life.
"A hundred years of accumulation, my strength is in the foundation period, and it is rare to meet an opponent. Facing fake real people, I can also protect myself."
Lu Changan is very confident in his century-old accumulation.
Although the cultivation base is not in the late stage of foundation establishment.
But the level of body training is comparable to that of the late foundation building stage, which can be used as a compensation.
Accompanied by monsters in the late stage of the second level.
Possesses a second-tier high-grade puppet, and as a puppet master, can display the full strength of the puppet.
Possesses the rudimentary form of a magic weapon that can be cultivated.
Thirty-eight powerful talismans, the lowest power is comparable to ordinary talismans, and the strongest power is close to the initial strike of a real pill.
"Unfortunately, this life has not made any progress in the exploration of the Nine Seal Tablet."
Lu Changan sighed secretly.
Mind consciousness enters [Jiuyin Monument].
The handsome man in the first life and the white-bearded old man in the second life are all lit up.
In the third frame, there is an indifferent and quiet man in white, whose figure is looming and has not yet been carved.
There are six remaining box prints below, nothing is left blank.
"With my current strength, the focus of the next few decades is to seek opportunities for alchemy."
After passing the 100-year practice barrier, Lu Changan began to consider the next step of his practice plan.
For ordinary monks, it is still far away to seek alchemy in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and it is difficult to guarantee promotion to the late stage of foundation establishment.
Lu Changan has no such worries.
He has a long lifespan and low qualifications, so he must plan earlier.
…
Squeak!
The vigorous figure of the rock rat came from a nearby cave, interrupting Lu Changan's thoughts.
Lu Changan took the two letters with a smile on his face, and reached out to stroke the hair on the rock mouse's head.
A letter from Guan Qiaozhi.
Lu Changan hasn't received her letter for a long time, and the frequency of sending letters is getting lower and lower.
The content of the letter, changing the soup but not the medicine, describes the secular experience and the deeds of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds.
Another letter from Zhao Siyao.
In the letter, the latest situation of the war in the neighboring country's cultivation world was described.
Lu Changan has gone through two or three lives, and he pays great attention to the overall situation of the upper class of the world of cultivating immortals.
The neighboring state of Feng, whose strength far surpasses that of Liang, fell into the war of cultivating immortals, and also received Lu Changan's attention.
In the correspondence between the past few years, he expressed his appeal to Zhao Siyao in this regard:
If there is any major change in the neighboring country's cultivation war, I hope to inform myself as soon as possible.
"The first cultivating sect of the Feng Kingdom, the 'Jinyang Sect', the new and old generations of Yuanying Zhenjun, invited to fight Chu Tianfeng, the middle-stage Nascent Soul born in the 'Wuya Palace' of the Yan Kingdom."
Seeing the key content in the letter, Lu Changan looked solemn.
"The two Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Jinyang Sect fought against each other, but they were still defeated by Chu Tianfeng, so they retreated."
