Chapter 181 Send charcoal in the snow
This time, Song Wenshu had been a guest at Wuqi Mountain for half a day before he offered to leave.
As for alchemist Lin Ye, he has special feelings for Wu Qishan and Xiaodanfeng.
After negotiation, he was allowed to recuperate for a period of time in a guest room on the hillside of Xiaodan Peak, which would help his recovery.
Alchemist Lin Ye has retained most of his alchemy skills, and is willing to assist in alchemy and provide remuneration during the recuperation period.
Before, he had been questioned by Lihuo Palace, and he himself was a victim with a clean identity.
Lin Ye's cultivation base has fallen, and he has not much life left.
Remembering his tragic fate, as well as the old love in the past, the peak master of Wuqi Mountain made this special case.
Song Wenshu brought Lin Ye here as a kind gesture to make up for the troubles caused by the "Dark Night Fisherman" before.
Lu Changan speculated from this that Song Wenshu had no hostility towards Wu Qishan and was willing to make friends with the three peak masters.
The positions of grievances and grievances in the world of cultivating immortals are not black and white, or invariable.
Song Wenshu has a good relationship with Senior Brother Zhuo, who was once an enemy of Wu Qishan.
But the relationship between Song Wenshu and Wu Qishan is acceptable, there is no conflict of interest, and they can expand their contacts.
Even the elites of the sect will not blindly make enemies.
…
After seeing off Song Wenshu, the three peak masters talked with alchemist Lin Ye for a while.
Lu Changan and Shi Manrong returned to the main peak respectively.
"Xiang Jinglong became a wanted man and escaped from the Liang Kingdom. Lihuo Palace did not suspect Wu Qishan. The matter of the 'Dark Night Fisherman' is over."
Lu Changan was determined.
Xiang Jinglong took the blame again, he didn't have any psychological burden.
After all, this person bullied the weak, murdered and seized treasures, and had a lot of bad deeds. He once came to Wuqi Mountain to show his prestige and eat the king's meal.
Lu Changan and Xiang Jinglong had no direct grievances and conflicts, and the other party was a fake alchemy real person, who helped him twice, so he didn't want to kill him.
With this matter closed.
Lu Changan began to think about refining Zhuyan Pill in the future.
He gathered all the materials for Zhuyan Pill.
The only loophole is the most critical main medicine, which comes from Hua Danshi.
Hua Danshi bought this main medicine from Xiang Jinglong again, and was later targeted as a fat sheep.
"After so many years, Zhuyan Pill's main drug is not the only one. Xiang Jinglong has become a wanted man again, fleeing Liang State, it is not a big problem."
Lu Changan thought about it.
He took Zhuyan Pill to cover up his youthful essence and truth.
In this way, if you meet a high-level monk in the future, it will not be easy to see the clues.
In addition to Zhuyan Pill, Lu Changan also has more than half of the Ningjing Pill material, which can be regarded as the biggest achievement of Senior Brother Zhuo's years of looting.
In comparison, the risk of refining Crystal Pill is much greater, even if there are no grievances or loopholes.
…
A few days later.
Lin Ye came to Little Guifeng to visit Lu Changan.
"Returning to Wuqi Mountain, is Danshi Lin used to it?"
Lu Changan treated each other with kindness, and did not appear to be indifferent because of Lin Ye's status as an alchemist.
"Back to Xiaodan Peak, I slept well for a few days."
Lin Ye's condition has obviously improved, with a smile on his dry face, and his expression is not as dull as before.
Talked about some past events, Lin Ye basically remembered everything, and there was no problem with the answer.
In terms of memory, it is even more complete than Fairy Shi.
This point is slightly different from when we met a few days ago.
Lu Changan couldn't help thinking.
"Actually, Lin's sanity has basically returned to normal, especially after returning to Wuqi Mountain, his mood has calmed down a lot..."
Lin Ye smiled wryly, and began to reveal the truth.
It turned out that Lin Ye's sluggish state a few days ago was half-truth and half-false.
His heart has been sober.
"You Daoist Lin pretended to be the end, why did you tell Lu the truth?"
Lu Changan was not surprised by this.
Alchemist Lin Ye was bitten by a snake once, but was afraid of well ropes for ten years.
A monk whose cultivation base has fallen, is old, and possesses profound alchemy skills is indeed worth remembering.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, in this Wuqi Mountain, the only thing I can open my heart to is you. I also believe that you will not murder Lin."
Lin Ye took a deep breath and said calmly.
"What kind of virtue and ability is Lu, worthy of the trust of Fellow Daoist Lin."
Lu Changan smiled, it seems that he has cultivated indifferently for a hundred years, and the image of a "good old man" who does not fight or fight is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
During the long years of practice, although Lu Changan occasionally took action to stifle potential threats, at least he never took the initiative to murder anyone.
Lin Ye was right about this point.
The two had known each other for decades in Wuqi Mountain, and they knew each other quite well.
"You might as well tell Fellow Daoist Lu an inside story."
Lin Ye continued:
"After Lin was captured alive by Xiang Jinglong, he was severely tortured by that servant. When Hua Danshi died, Xiang Jinglong became a suspect, claiming that he was framed by others, and there was some investigation. Enemies, including this old man, are all objects of suspicion."
"For this matter, the old man did not implicate Fellow Daoist Lu. Instead, he deliberately hinted and guided him to make him suspect Fu Xuemei, hoping to use the hands of Huang Longshan to eradicate this thief in the future."
Hearing this, Lu Changan suddenly realized.
No wonder Xiang Jinglong joined the anti-Huanglongshan camp after becoming a fake alchemy, and had a heart of hatred for Fu Xuemei.
Taking advantage of the chaos for profit is one aspect, and revenge is also an important factor.
"Lin Daoyou, Baihe in the cloud, is in a desperate situation, sticks to the bottom line, and does not involve old friends, Lu admires it."
When your wealth and life are dominated by others, you will be unpredictable. For ordinary people, it is difficult to ensure that others will not be dragged into the water.
Back then, after Master Hua died, Lin Ye tried to test Lu Changan to see the latter's reaction.
It can be seen from this that Lin Ye has a slight doubt about Lu Changan in his heart, even if the content is not high.
In the end, Xiang Jinglong didn't doubt Lu Changan at all, which shows that Master Lin at least had no intention of harming Lu Changan.
"Friend Daoist Lin told the secret and the truth, but if you need help from Mr. Lu?"
Lu Changan changed his mind and asked directly.
Hearing this, Lin Ye showed a gratified expression.
If Lu Changan was cold and distant, he would not take the initiative to mention such things.
…
"Lin has two wishes for the rest of his life. One is that Xiang Jinglong bows his head, and the other is to return to his homeland safely, cultivate alchemy successors, and spend the rest of his life."
"The former, I believe that one day I will see it. Xiang Jinglong will kill himself if he does many injustices."
"In the case of the latter, the old man's cultivation base has fallen, his belongings have been looted by Xiang Jinglong, and he is seriously lacking in means of protection..."
Lin Ye's current situation is very embarrassing, poor and white, and he doesn't even have a common magic weapon to protect the way.
Lu Changan understood Lin Ye's reason for coming.
Lu Changan didn't mind if he gave some ordinary instruments and talismans, but Lin Ye might not feel safe.
Especially, the current world is more chaotic than before.
If Lu Changan was given a complete set of top-quality instruments and high-quality talismans, Lu Changan would lose too much and become a great benevolent person.
"How is Daoyou Lin's current alchemy skills compared to back then?"
Lu Changan asked.
"These days and nights of alchemy, the conditions are difficult. The old man's alchemy skills, after being sharpened, are actually better than those of the past, which can make up for the gap in cultivation."
Lin Ye said truthfully.
"The old man is willing to use alchemy in exchange for rewards, and buy magic tools, talismans and other things to protect the way from Fellow Daoist Lu."
"Does Fellow Daoist Lu need the broken-level pill in the late stage of foundation establishment? This pill, Lin is sure to refine it, and the success rate is definitely higher than Ye Fei."
Talking about alchemy, Lin Ye regained some of his former self-confidence.
He believed that Lu Changan had stayed in the middle stage of foundation establishment for many years, so he would definitely be attracted to the broken-rank pill.
"Well, if all the materials are gathered, then there will be an alchemist Laurin."
Lu Changan smiled and responded to the matter.
For the level-breaking elixir in the late stage of foundation establishment, it can be used as a cover after a breakthrough in the future.
If Lin alchemist has a good alchemy rate, he can collect materials by himself and make a fortune after refining them.
"Lu still needs a magic power-enhancing elixir, it doesn't matter if the side effects are a little bigger..."
Lu Changan also mentioned other pills.
The three Xueyang Pills I got from Alchemist Hua before can greatly enhance the mana of the foundation-builder cultivator, and I have already taken them.
The side effects of Xueyang Dan are relatively small.
Some elixir will overdraw life, consume lifespan, and the increase in mana is even more terrifying.
Lu Changan has a long lifespan, as long as it is not used frequently, the price is relatively affordable.
If used at critical times, it is an excellent means of protection.
"I'm good at this kind of elixir!" Teacher Lin Dan responded.
"By the way, will master Lin Dan refine Zhuyan Dan?"
Lu Changan seemed to think of something at last, and asked again.
"Zhuyan Pill? The difficulty of refining is not high among the second-order elixirs. Although the old man has only refined it twice before, it can guarantee the success rate of the elixir."
Lin Ye had a look of surprise on his face, and didn't ask any further questions.
The value of Zhuyan Pill is not as high as that of Foundation Establishment Pill, nor is it the value of Condensing Crystal Pill.
For a second-level high-grade alchemist, it is nothing.
"Okay, these three elixirs, please trouble Master Lin."
After discussing for a while, Lu Changan and Alchemist Lin Ye reached a preliminary agreement.
Not only that, Danshi Lin also promised: During alchemy, you can let Lu Changan watch from the sidelines and answer the latter's doubts.
Lu Changan felt emotionally, the alchemist who used to be aloof and needed to be cursed, now lives under the fence and has become considerate.
In addition to the transaction itself, Lin Ye also wanted to make friends with Lu Changan and get some support in the future.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lu. I used to be a alchemist, and it's my duty to keep secrets for my employer."
Lin Danshi exchanged some greetings, took his leave and left.
Actually, even if the matter of Zhuyan Dan leaked a little bit, there would be no problem, and it would even be of some benefit.
Today is different from the past.
Lu Changan's current strength and identity are enough to protect "hot potatoes" such as foundation building pills and rank breaking pills.
…
Lin Ye returned to Xiaodanfeng's guest room, lost in thought.
Back then, when Alchemist Hua died, he had a little doubt about Lu Changan, but not much.
After the trial, the doubts were basically dispelled.
A few days ago, he learned about the situation outside.
Fu Xuemei from Huanglong Mountain almost failed to form an alchemy. The quality of the alchemy is far below the expectations of the Huanglong Mountain lineage, and it may disappear in the alchemy period.
"I heard from Ye Fei that Xiang Jinglong came to Wuqi Mountain a few years ago to experience the autumn wind."
"Hua Danshi, Fu Xuemei, Xiang Jinglong... none of them came to a good end."
Lin Ye had a thought in his heart, and couldn't help shivering.
Rationality told him that he might be thinking too much. His intuition gave him the illusion that he was close to the truth.
If it is not a coincidence, what he has learned about Lu Changan is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
Lin Ye quickly shook his head: No matter what the possibility is, just refine the elixir and don't ask too much.
At least Lu Changan is not an enemy, he once faced a common enemy with him.
In the world of cultivating immortals opened in troubled times, there are not many monks who can give charcoal in a timely manner.
