Chapter 188 God Knows Forecast
The hinterland of Liang State.
Among the clouds, an ordinary-looking young foundation-builder cultivator suddenly stopped flying.
"Um?"
Lu Changan felt a strange and unspeakable feeling, and looked in the direction of the battlefield of Feng Kingdom.
At that moment just now, he had a faint feeling that the treasure talisman secretly given to Zhao Siyao back then had been consumed.
This situation is inconceivable for ordinary talismans.
However, the principle of Lu Changan's treasure talisman is to cultivate the talisman as a magical treasure.
The magic weapon is cultivated for a long time, and it will produce spirituality. The treasure talisman is made of extraordinary materials, although it is not as good as the magic weapon, the principle is similar.
Combined with the special nature of Evergreen Kungfu, it is reasonable to have some kind of telepathy after decades of cultivation.
"When that treasure talisman was used, Fellow Daoist Zhao may have encountered a great crisis. I hope she can survive this calamity safely..."
A few days ago, Song Wenshu's marriage was postponed for no reason, and Lu Changan speculated that there might be changes on the battlefield of Feng Kingdom.
Zhao Siyao's use of the treasure talisman further confirmed Lu Changan's guess.
That treasure talisman is made from a third-order spiritual wood. After decades of cultivation, if it is used properly, it can seriously damage ordinary fake pills.
As for killing, it is unlikely.
The difficulty of killing and defeating is more than doubled.
Unless the fake Dan real person takes it lightly, or the injury is serious.
Even in the early stage of real pills, it is difficult to instantly kill fake pills. The combination of three fake alchemy real people can resist the early stage of a real alchemy.
The fake alchemy real person controls the magic weapon, and its power is stronger than that of the quasi-third-order talisman.
Lu Changan naturally didn't know: Zhang Tieshan's explosive combat power in a short period of time was comparable to that of a fake pill, and he cooperated with Zhao Siyao to kill a real fake pill who was not in good condition.
The original intention of Lu Changan to present this talisman was that the imaginary enemy was a fake Dan real person, so that Zhao Siyao had a greater hope of escaping.
As for the monk Zhendan? The number is far less than that of fake Dan real people.
If you really encounter it, you can only ask for luck.
Even if Lu Changan met a real dan cultivator and possessed more talismans, he didn't dare to say that he would be able to escape.
Talismans of the same level, it is difficult to threaten monks of the same level. Because the power of the magic weapon is stronger than that of the same level of talismans.
Only by relying on the second descendant of the Nine Seal Monument and cooperating with the treasure talisman to injure the real pill, can he escape with great confidence.
…
In recent years, with the significant improvement in strength, contacts, and financial resources, it is almost impossible for Lu Changan to obtain the third-order spiritual wood, unlike before.
In recent years, the number of talismans made from third-order spirit wood in his hands has increased again, with a total of more than ten pieces.
Treasure talismans made from third-order spiritual wood, through the accumulation of evergreen mana, the power can reach the initial level of third-order relatively quickly, or even slightly exceed it.
The speed of accumulation is also related to cultivation.
During Lu Changan's middle stage of foundation establishment, the accumulation speed was nearly double that of the initial stage of foundation establishment.
Currently, the strongest treasure talisman in Lu Changan's hands is made from the "Zixuan Lingmu" of the third-tier middle grade. It has been bred for the longest time, lasting for decades, and its power is even close to the third-tier middle grade.
The one given to Zhao Siyao is the most powerful one among the third-order low-grade spirit wood.
Theoretically speaking, as long as the cultivation time is long enough and the magic power is strong enough, it will be a second-level top-grade treasure talisman, and its power may reach the true third-level.
However, when the power of accumulation exceeds the limit of the material, the speed of improvement will be extremely slow.
…
A few days later.
Liaoyuan Xiancheng, the reception room on the fourth floor of Tianzhi Building.
"This fellow daoist, what kind of information do you want to obtain?"
An old man in his sixties at the foundation building stage entertained Lu Changan with a smile.
"I want to know the situation on the battlefield of Feng Kingdom."
Lu Changan, an ordinary youth in disguise, said without thinking.
"Oh! Fengguo battlefield? The number of monks paying attention to this information has increased a lot recently."
The sixtieth old man said with emotion.
"The battlefield of the Feng Kingdom is the intelligence that our Tianzhi Building focuses on. It is divided into three levels: A, B, and C."
"Oh, what's the difference between the three, and how are they charged?"
"C-level information, six hundred spirit stones, can only get the basic situation of the front line, which contains rumored content, and the authenticity is slightly poor. It belongs to the middle-level monks of several major sects, and the normal information that can be obtained in the near future."
"B-level information, 1,500 spirit stones, is most of the front-line information that the sect's high-level officials can obtain."
"Grade A information, five thousand spirit stones, in addition to the more detailed information obtained, the biggest difference from Grade B is knowing the general movements of Yuanying Zhenjun, and speculating on the future trend of the war."
"To purchase this Class A information, you must also make an oath of inner demons and not disclose it to outsiders."
"Grade A intelligence is so expensive?"
Lu Changan changed his mind, and decided to buy Grade A intelligence, anyway, he has plenty of spirit stones now.
After several lifetimes, he knows the importance of key information from the upper echelon.
The war in the world of cultivating immortals is even more related to the safety of his practice in this life.
The next few decades will be his transitional stage from foundation building to alchemy formation, which is especially important.
"Sincerely benefit five thousand spirit stones."
The sixty-year-old man smiled all over his face, hiding his surprise.
Few individual monks buy Grade A information, and they are often representatives of a certain force.
After paying for the spirit stone, Lu Changan got a special jade tube.
According to the sixty-year-old man's description, the information in the jade tube will be automatically erased after he checks the contents inside.
"By the way, do you still accept members in Tianzhilou?"
Before leaving, Lu Changan asked with a half-smile.
If you can get involved with this kind of top intelligence force that penetrates many countries, it will be a very good benefit for the longevity.
"Sorry, we have a set of ways to train members inside Tianzhi Building, and we don't recruit members from the outside. Unless they are high-risk informants, but they are temporary members..."
The sixty-year-old man laughed.
Lu Changan just tried it casually.
Even if Tianzhilou agreed, he might not dare to join.
Before, Lu Changan had a thought, wondering what his intelligence in Tianzhilou was about, and whether there were any flaws revealed.
But this idea was quickly dispelled.
Because there is a demand for a market.
Lu Changan has nothing to do with the world and does not involve various interests. Originally, few monks paid attention to his information, and Tianzhilou would not delve into it.
If he goes to buy his own information, it will be purely full of food and will cause trouble for himself.
…
Half an hour later.
In a certain inn with a lot of traffic in Liaoyuan Xiancheng.
Lu Changan checked the jade tube of Grade A intelligence in his hand.
"The sect of Liang Guo was defeated on the front line and ambushed in the "Tantai Clan" of Feng State. Several real alchemy monks fell, a dozen of fake alchemy monks died in battle, hundreds of foundation building monks died in battle, and thousands of Qi refining monks... "
"The layout is mainly based on the big forces such as Jinyangzong, Aoyue Valley, Blood Sword Valley, and the Dan family."
"Chen Guo's Yuanying Zhenjun is suspected to be dissatisfied with Liang Guo's meddling in the war and stealing the fruits of victory. Perhaps an agreement has been reached, Chen Guo's 'Blue Wind Zhenjun', a Yuanying Zhenjun who acquiesced to contain Jinyangzong quietly leave."
"Liangguo's Nascent Soul True Lord 'Lihuo Shangren' was ambushed by the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs of Jinyang Sect and Blood Sword Valley. He was seriously injured and almost died. It will take twenty years to recover."
"Fengguo launched a psychological warfare and released rumors to the outside world: Liangguo's "Shangren Lihuo" died, or his body was destroyed, and Yuanying escaped by chance, in order to create panic."
Seeing this, Lu Changan was terrified. Unexpectedly, in the not-too-distant battle, the Supreme Elder from Lihuo Palace almost died.
If the intelligence level he purchased is not enough, he cannot get an accurate judgment on the specific situation of "Shangren Lihuo".
Once misled by ambiguous intelligence rumors, Lu Changan may make wrong decisions, such as taking the risk of leaving Liang Guo.
"The change in the situation is mainly due to the attitude of Chen Guo Yuanying Zhenjun. The sect of Feng Kingdom may have also benefited and reached some kind of secret agreement."
Lu Changan pondered.
The most powerful True Lord of the Yan Kingdom, "Chu Tianfeng", has no idea about the Liang Kingdom.
This aristocrat in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul mainly wants to occupy the spirit veins of the fourth-level middle-grade, and obtain a dojo that suits his identity and cultivation.
Otherwise, Yuanying Zhenjun from Lihuo Palace might not be able to come back.
Regarding Liang Guozong's fourth expedition, the intelligence also explained.
The recruitment of monks this time is not an expedition at all.
Instead, he went to a neighboring country to "response" to the rout of Liang's army of monks.
"No wonder, Song Wenshu delayed getting married."
Lu Changan suddenly realized, and sorted out the cause and effect clearly.
The Supreme Elder from Lihuo Palace almost died, and the high-ranking Zhendan cultivator fell. When such a major event occurs, if reinforcements are recruited, even true disciples will not be able to enjoy the privileges.
…
This Grade A intelligence, as well as Tianzhilou's prediction of the direction of the war.
"The invasion of Liang Guozong's sect was a big defeat, and the gains outweigh the losses. Since Yuanying Zhenjun was seriously injured, he will be unable to invade Feng Kingdom in the future, and there is a high probability that he will retreat to his own country."
"The war between Yan, Feng, and Chen may usher in a new transition, and peace talks are not ruled out."
"In about ten years, there is a certain possibility that Liang's mainland will be reduced to a battlefield."
"If the 'Six Sects of Demon Dao', one of the largest alliances in the Daqing cultivation world, continue to expand eastward, this possibility will be doubled!"
Seeing Tianzhilou's forecast, Lu Changan's heart trembled slightly.
At the beginning, he thought the price of this information was too high, but now it seems that it is worth the money.
Regarding the many insider details of this war, the truth will not be given in Class B and Class C intelligence.
"About ten years? At that time, I have already advanced to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and my strength has greatly increased. Even if I leave my hometown and flee to another country, it will be much safer."
Lu Changan felt a little settled.
In two months, he will be one hundred and thirty-four years old.
He spent about twelve years on the first two floors in the middle stage of foundation building.
However, from the middle stage of foundation establishment to the late stage, more accumulation is required, and it may take fourteen or five years in total.
It is estimated that after the age of one hundred and forty, it is expected to hit the late stage of foundation establishment.
…
After receiving the information, Lu Changan did not leave Liaoyuan Immortal City.
He stayed in Xiancheng for two months, collecting materials.
The materials collected this time are mainly third-order spiritual sand, as well as materials for second-order top puppets and quasi-third-order puppets.
Lu Changan's "body training qualification" far surpasses his spiritual root talent.
As early as a few years ago, "Cloud Sand Body Refining Jue" had been cultivated to the sixth level peak.
This body training formula is not high-level, and does not involve the inheritance of third-level body training.
The highest seventh floor can only be repaired to the quasi-third level.
Even at the quasi-third-level body refining level, it is more difficult than ordinary monks condensing fake pills.
As for the real alchemy-level body training, it is even more difficult than achieving a real alchemy.
Lu Changan didn't want to be too high-spirited, so he first cultivated the "Yunsha Body Refining Jue" to the seventh level, which is equivalent to the physical body of a fake alchemy-level monster.
By then, he will be more calm in the face of threats at the level of fake real people.
Puppet skills.
Lu Changan preliminarily has the conditions to refine the second-order top puppets, but lacks some practice.
As for quasi-third-order puppets, the combat power corresponds to that of a fake alchemy real person. I am afraid that they can only be studied and tried in the later stage of foundation establishment.
At present, the main factors restricting Lu Changan's progress together with the puppets are one is not enough high-level materials, and the other is the lack of inheritance.
The puppet inheritance given by the puppet master Sang back then, at most involved the second-tier top.
"Unfortunately, the third-tier puppet inheritance is even less popular than the third-tier alchemist inheritance."
Over the years, Lu Changan has not failed to pay attention to the auctions in the surrounding fairy cities.
Unless you are lucky, you may encounter a third-order puppet inheritance at a large auction.
Two months.
Lu Changan's material collection is not progressing satisfactorily.
The second-order top puppets got some through the channel of Tengxing Chamber of Commerce.
A quasi-third-order puppet, involving third-order materials, yields very little.
The third-order spiritual sand that Lu Changan values most.
Only a very small amount was purchased, not enough to reach the seventh level of the Body Refining Art.
"I wonder if Shen Bixin can help?"
Lu Changan thought about it.
In the past, he would rather collect materials slowly.
A mid-stage foundation-builder, collecting third-order materials, the amount is not small, somewhat unusual.
Even if there are many schools of body training, it is impossible to determine where to use the spiritual sand stones collected.
But now, he has received information that predicts that the war may spread to the territory of Liang State. For his own life-saving ability, he can speed up the progress.
Tengxing Chamber of Commerce is no better than Huanglong Mountain, and its highest cultivation level is no more than a fake alchemy real person, and it cannot threaten Lu Changan.
…
The day before leaving Liaoyuan Immortal City.
In his own capacity, Lu Changan went to the residence of the Tengxing Chamber of Commerce to visit Shen Bixin.
At this time point, Shen Bixin was going to marry Song Wenshu originally, but now she is staying in her boudoir.
"Missy doesn't see many guests these days, but today she personally entertains a male cultivator of Foundation Establishment?"
Tengxing Chamber of Commerce resident, under the strange eyes of two servant girls, Lu Changan entered a side hall.
"It's rare for Fellow Daoist Lu to visit in person, and I'm flattered."
Shen Bixin's long dress dragged the floor, she got up to salute in a gentle and quiet way.
Besides the slightly haggard appearance, she is still the beautiful young lady who exudes a bookish and quiet temperament in the past.
"Miss Shen is too polite, it should be Lu who is flattered."
Lu Changan exchanged greetings.
He understood that with Shen Bixin's current status and status as a fiancée, she was willing to make an exception to meet him, a male cultivator who established a foundation, because he was thinking of the grace of healing in the past.
But on the bright side, Lu Changan only assisted in the treatment back then, and got the due reward.
Afterwards, Shen Bixin gave the Tengxing Chamber of Commerce VIP order, which was of great help to Lu Changan, and it can be regarded as repaying the kindness.
"This visit, Lu Mou bought some materials for a fake senior..."
After chatting for a while, Lu Changan got down to business.
"Many of these materials are third-order, and the difficulty is not low."
Shen Bixin murmured.
"The concubine can use the senior management of the Chamber of Commerce and Song Lang's relationship network, and within half a year, almost all of them can be gathered."
After Shen Bixin and Song Wenshu got engaged, Tengxing Chamber of Commerce's channel capabilities in Liaoyuan Immortal City have significantly improved.
In the past, it was not as efficient.
Even so, Shen Bixin had to put in a lot of effort to make it happen.
"Miss Lao Chen, please take care. If this is done, Lu will owe you a favor."
Lu Changan knew the elegant meaning after hearing the stringed songs, and promised.
Owing a favor, it is not a loss to speed up the body training formula to advance to the quasi-third level.
If the war comes, there may not be a chance to honor it.
"This concubine is waiting for the words of Fellow Daoist Lu."
Shen Bixin's face was dimpled, her eyes were bright and shining, and she looked contented.
The update on the 9th is very late, at least after midnight. .
