Chapter 182 Real person visits
Little Guifeng.
After sending alchemist Lin Ye away, Lu Changan fell into short-term thinking, and made minor adjustments to the details of his future plans.
"Nearly ten years have passed since the battle of Huanglong Mountain. The former No. 1 casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom, 'Huanglong Zhenren', has seven or eight years left in his life at most."
"The favor Fu Xuemei promised back then, it's time to find an opportunity to fulfill it."
Even if Huanglong is old, his influence and connections cannot be underestimated.
Once this person dies, the pattern of Huanglong Immortal City may undergo new changes, and the prestige of Huanglong Mountain will be reduced to the lowest point.
Although Fu Xuemei is an earth spirit root, but the quality of alchemy is at the bottom of the real alchemy, it is basically impossible to be promoted to the middle stage of alchemy within a hundred years.
If Lu Changan successfully forms alchemy in the future, there is a high probability that he will be in the same small realm as this woman.
Lu Changan is now one hundred and twenty-nine years old, and he has been promoted to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and it is estimated that it will take more than ten years.
After making up his mind, Lu Changan wrote a letter and sent it to Huanglong Mountain.
The recipient appears to be Fu Dong.
Lu Changan bluntly stated in the letter: I hope to fulfill the promise of the year and let Huang Longshan help him purchase some alchemy materials.
Among them, the main materials of Xuanwu Dan, Xueyang Dan, and Qisha Dan are included.
Xuanwu Dan is a elixir that breaks the order in the later stage of foundation establishment.
Refining this pill, it is more reasonable for Lu Changan to be promoted to the later stage of Foundation Establishment in the future.
Xueyang Pill and Qisha Pill are temporary pills to increase strength.
Xueyang Pill, Lu Changan had taken it before, and the side effects were relatively small.
Qisha Dan, the medicinal effect is more powerful, and when taken during the foundation building period, the mana is doubled, which can improve the overall strength of a small realm.
But the side effects are huge. Afterwards, not only will the vitality be severely injured, but the body will be extremely weak, and it will also overdraw the life and longevity.
Actually, Lu Changan has no shortage of spirit stones to buy these materials.
However, some of the rare materials, especially the main ingredients of the broken-level elixir, are difficult for ordinary monks to buy.
It is equivalent to saying that Lu Changan borrowed Huanglongshan's channels and influence to buy these materials, and he didn't need to bother.
"The world of cultivating immortals has entered into war, and the future is unpredictable. It is better to use human favors earlier to strengthen yourself. If not, there may not be opportunities in the future."
Lu Changan did not seek to maximize this favor, for example, he had to let the monk who formed the alchemy make a move once.
He cultivates indifferently, does not make enemies with others, let alone go out to cause trouble, and basically does not use this kind of opportunity.
Furthermore, if there is an emergency, there is no time to shake people for you.
Cashing in on favors has another benefit.
Fu Xuemei and Huang Longshan will feel more at ease with him.
…
Scarce materials are entrusted to Huanglong Mountain.
For some other common and low-value materials, it is not difficult for Lu Changan to let the monk attached to Wu Qishan run errands.
As a pharmacist, Ye Fei also has corresponding channels.
Buying the ingredients for alchemy by yourself is much more cost-effective than buying finished pills directly.
Once each kind of elixir is refined, it starts with a few elixirs.
Half a month later.
Pill Master Lin recovered in good health, and was invited by Lu Changan to come to Xiaoguifeng Cave Mansion to help with alchemy.
It was declared to the outside world that the refining of the cultivation elixir was actually the secret refining of Zhuyan elixir.
"These materials are well preserved and full of spirituality."
Before alchemy, Lin Danshi routinely checked the materials of Zhuyan Dan, and nodded in praise.
Lu Changan naturally wouldn't say: These materials are not simply sealed up, but he occasionally injects evergreen mana to nourish them and maintain their activity.
Of course, not all alchemy materials are suitable.
Zhuyan Pill itself is biased towards health preservation, and its material properties are consistent with Evergreen Mana.
Lu Changan himself is also a second-rank alchemist, with alchemy furnaces, spiritual fire formations, and alchemy places all available.
When Lin Ye was refining alchemy, he was allowed to watch from a close distance and take the initiative to explain.
Refining Zhuyan Dan is not difficult.
A few days later, Lin Ye successfully turned on the furnace and refined four Zhuyan Pills.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Lu, the four Zhuyan Pills are all authentic."
Lin Ye's face flushed red, the success rate was higher than he expected.
"Lin alchemist's skill has really improved a lot, and I'm afraid it's almost the same as that of a quasi-third-rank alchemist."
Lu Changan was also delighted and praised.
The material he provided can only be made into four alchemy at most, and it would be satisfactory to be able to refine three.
Zhuyan Dan is not worth much in a small place, and it is slightly higher than half a Foundation Establishment Pill.
But in places where the cultivation civilization is developed, Zhuyan Dan is more valuable.
In some areas of cultivating immortals, due to material limitations, their value may not be much lower than that of Jidan.
"The materials provided by Fellow Daoist Lu are of high quality and spirituality, which is the key factor. Moreover, refining Zhuyan Pill does not have high requirements for cultivation."
Lin Ye said modestly, thinking of something, his expression was depressed.
After more than 20 years of being imprisoned in a small black room for alchemy, Lin Ye's alchemy skills have indeed improved.
It's just that this period of time made him unbearable to look back on, and he didn't want to mention related topics.
After refining Zhuyan Pill, Lu Changan directly paid in advance for a top-grade magic weapon as a reward for alchemy.
The follow-up alchemy plan will have to wait until Huanglongshan collects the materials.
…
That evening.
In the secret room, Lu Changan took a Zhuyan Pill, and closed his eyes to comprehend it.
In the medicinal effect of Zhuyan Dan, there is a mysterious life energy, full of youthful vitality.
In addition, there is a faint revolving energy of time, but it is much weaker than Yanshou Dan.
A moment later, Lu Changan opened his eyes, showing a hint of disappointment.
"Taking Zhuyan Pill has little effect on my evergreen mana."
"The appearance of this pill is permanent, and it acts more on the appearance of the fleshy skin, and at most changes the characteristics of some internal organs. There is no bonus to the foundation of cultivation and the essence of life."
The higher the monk's realm, the less he pays attention to this appearance.
In some mythological records, there are real female fairies, who also care about beauty extremely.
"Those top geniuses who practice super fast do not rely much on Zhuyan Pill. Because the speed of appearance aging is basically the same as their realm and lifespan."
Lu Changan took a Zhuyan pill, it was just an extra layer of appearance.
Compared to his Changqing Kungfu, which achieves the essence of life by prolonging life, this pill is inferior.
"The remaining three Zhuyan Pills..."
Lu Changan pondered for a moment.
When there is no shortage of spirit stones, there is no need to sell this pill.
Back then, alchemist Hua wanted to refine this elixir for the purpose of making connections with the upper class.
Lu Changan has such scarce resources, and there may be opportunities to use them in the future.
After all, this pill is very popular among nuns.
…
More than half a month has passed.
Lu Changan received a letter from Huang Longshan.
The person who replied was actually Fu Xuemei.
This is the first time in Lu Changan's life that he has received a letter from the monk Zhendan.
Moreover, it also came from a Jurchen with an extremely beautiful face.
This means that Lu Changan's social circle has made a qualitative breakthrough!
From the beginning of Qi Refining Level 1, after more than 100 years of practice and management, it is not easy to get to this point.
You must know that the vast majority of monks are not qualified to communicate with Zhendan monks in letters.
"Words are like people..."
Lu Changan opened the letter and couldn't help admiring, Fu Xuemei's handwriting is very beautiful, with a kind of loneliness and arrogance like a winter plum.
However, the contents of the letter made Lu Changan's eyelids twitch slightly.
Fu Xuemei made two points in her letter:
First, Huang Longshan will soon be able to help complete the acquisition of the materials that Lu Changan requested.
Second, ask Lu Changan when he will come to Huanglong Immortal City to get these materials.
At that time, Fu Xuemei is going to meet him personally to hand over the materials.
"Dignified true alchemy monk, the current helm of Huanglong Mountain, how can you lower your identity and personally meet a casual cultivator in the mid-stage foundation establishment? Where has your pride gone?"
Lu Chang'an was a little depressed and caught off guard. He didn't expect Fu Xuemei to be so "enthusiastic".
If it is not necessary, he does not want to meet with monk Zhendan at close range.
Even if you put aside the grievances you once had.
"If I don't go to Huanglong Mountain, it may appear that I have a guilty conscience."
Lu Changan actually knew that if he went to meet him in a dignified manner, he could almost be sure, there was no risk, and he would be appreciated by Master Jiedan.
Fu Xuemei has formed alchemy for nearly ten years, if she wants to kill her, she will not wait until today.
Not even an aboveboard invitation.
If she really had a knot in her heart, Fu Xuemei would not have been able to form a real pill back then.
"Hehe! I, Lu, are just a cautious person. I dare not go to see the monk Zhendan, but it is understandable."
Lu Changan thought over and over again, chuckled lightly, and made a decision.
In his reply letter, he expressed euphemistically: Recently, the outside world is in chaos, and robbery and cultivation are rampant, so he dare not go to Huanglong Immortal City alone.
Huang Longshan simply insisted on being a good person and sent the materials to Wu Qishan. He was willing to add 10% of the shipping fee.
After replying to the letter, Lu Changan felt puzzled, why did Fu Xuemei want to meet her in person?
What is thought-provoking is that this woman explained in advance in the letter to give Lu Changan a psychological preparation.
"If I don't go to Huanglong Mountain to meet, this girl won't come to Wuqi Mountain in person, right?"
Lu Changan considered the worst and had to guard against it.
Although with Fu Xuemei's temperament, she wouldn't do such a hot face and cold **** thing.
Think for a moment.
Lu Changan felt the tyrannical aura of the second alchemy peak of the Nine Seal Monument, and thought of the set of treasure charms in his hands for many years, and he was determined.
He thought to himself, facing Fu Xuemei's lack of foundation in the early stage of alchemy, if he is prepared, at least he can escape with confidence.
…
For the next period of time, Lu Changan restrained his breath and practiced underground on Xiaogui Peak.
With the obstacles of mountains and rocks, combined with the energy-holding ability of Changqing Kungfu, it is impossible to find him in the early stage of alchemy.
One month later.
A high-level monk came to Huanglong Mountain to deliver materials.
Unexpected things did not happen. As the helm of Huanglong Mountain, Fu Xuemei would not come to Wuqi Mountain in person.
The person who came was an old man in a white robe with a refined temperament.
"Ji Yifeng, Huanglong Zhenren's eldest disciple."
Lu Changan investigated secretly and recognized the identity of the person who came out.
When Fu Xuemei was forming alchemy, Ji Yifeng arrived at a critical moment. Junior brother Cheng, who Lu Changan pretended to be, had met this person before.
Ji Yifeng smiled and waited in front of Xiaoguifeng, asking the maid to report.
Respected as a fake Dan real person, he is kind and polite, and has never used his spiritual sense to investigate at will.
Lu Changan followed the underground tunnel and soon returned to Xiaoguifeng cave.
Just in time to see the maid Lan Rou who hurriedly came to report.
"Master! The real person of Huanglong Mountain, Senior Ji personally visited..."
"Don't be nervous. I have friendship with Huang Longshan and the master."
Lu Changan smiled and said something soothing.
He walked out of the cave to meet the first real visitor of Little Guifeng.
"Wu Qishan casual cultivator Lu Changan, I met Senior Ji."
Lu Changan bowed his hands and saluted.
"Little friend Lu, you don't need to be too polite. This old man has heard of your reputation, but seeing you today, you really have an extraordinary temperament and demeanor."
Ji Yifeng stroked his beard and smiled, looking at the gentle and quiet man in white in front of him, with admiration on his face.
