Chapter 189 Trading Outlook
Seeing how this woman met her expectations, Lu Changan said in surprise:
"Oh? Does Miss Shen have any needs at present?"
"not yet."
Shen Bixin pursed her lips and smiled, and praised: "You Daoyou Lu has a good character and a firm will, and is a trustworthy friend in my mind."
"If you can make Fellow Daoist Lu owe you a favor, I will be satisfied."
Looking at the smiling Shen Bixin, Lu Changan felt weird.
He pondered: We don't have a deep friendship between you and me, so how do you know that Lu has such a good character, and it's not good to just rely on hearsay.
Shen Bixin's explanation should not be the main reason, but there are other considerations.
But there is one thing to say, Lu Changan rarely has any interests involved with the outside world, he has been practicing in a low-key and down-to-earth way, coupled with his late blooming inspirational reputation, he is indeed well-received by the outside world.
Even though it is the nickname of the tortoise talisman master, the outside world is mostly ridiculed, and there is not much malice.
Shen Bi thought she was a married woman.
In order to avoid suspicion, Lu Changan did not stay for too long and offered to leave.
Shen Bixin got up to see her off, and suddenly asked:
"The relationship between Lu Daoyou and Huang Longshan seems to be good?"
"Huanglongshan? I have a little contact, so I'm not very familiar with it."
Lu Changan replied.
Ji Zhenzhen from Huanglong Mountain, and Fu Dong, both visited Little Guifeng back then. Huang Longshan once helped Lu Changan collect materials, but these cannot be hidden from outsiders.
"Recently there have been gossip rumors that the real Huanglong is critically ill, and I'm afraid he won't live for a year or two."
Shen Bixin shared a piece of information.
"Really Huanglong is critically ill?"
Lu Changan was moved, and made some calculations.
Fourteen or five years have passed since Fu Xuemei formed a pill.
Liang Guoxiu, the former No. 1 casual cultivator in the immortal world, is indeed approaching the end of his lifespan.
Due to various factors, the real Huanglong lived hundreds of years less than the theoretical lifespan of the monk Zhendan.
"Senior Huanglong has been famous in Liang Guoxiu's world for hundreds of years. He has been famous all over the world. He has been respected by various sects and aristocratic families. It can be regarded as a brilliant life."
Lu Changan's tone was respectful.
Huanglong was at the peak of his fame as a real person, but he hadn't stepped into the fairyland in this life.
The two are not characters of the same era.
Therefore, Lu Changan only heard about his name, and never had any direct communication with the real Huanglong.
"If Master Huanglong passes away, some forces may take the opportunity to attack Huanglong Mountain. At that time, Fellow Daoist Lu, be careful."
"Thank you, Ms. Shen, for reminding me."
Lu Changan heard Shen Bixin's implication, bid farewell with his hands, and flew away from the residence of the Tengxing Chamber of Commerce.
Shen Bixin watched his back, thinking a little, recalling the scene when he was rescued and saw the dawn of life in a desperate situation.
She has an intuition that this low-key, down-to-earth, turtle talisman master is not a simple person.
Today's bet may have to wait until a certain day in the future to be verified.
…
Three months later.
The news of the battlefield of Feng State spread to all parts of Liang State, causing shock.
At this time, the low-level monks generally knew the news of Liang Guozong's defeat.
Middle and upper-level monks knew the relevant information earlier.
"The Nascent Soul True Monarch from Lihuo Palace fought against two enemy Nascent Souls with one against two, unfortunately lost and injured?"
The mainstream news that Lu Changan received from the outside world can be described as an understatement of the truth.
It was a disastrous defeat and was seriously injured, and almost died, but it was described as a "sad defeat".
The little monks who don't know the details may be misled, thinking that the Supreme Elder from Lihuo Palace is extremely brave, and he is only one move away from the two Nascent Souls.
"Lihuo Palace is not strong in foreign wars, but it is not bad for controlling public opinion in Liang Guoxiu's world."
Lu Changan can understand this.
In the war of cultivating immortals, both countries will spread all kinds of false news to confuse the public and cause panic.
It is indeed necessary to control public opinion internally and eliminate rumor makers who are not conducive to unity.
Except for the situation of Yuanying Zhenjun.
The number of deaths of Daoist Jiedan and Foundation Establishment monks was also concealed to some extent.
These must not be hidden from the interested people of the major forces.
But as long as most of the monks in the middle and lower classes are stabilized, the goal of the upper class of Liang Guozong will be achieved.
About war news.
The three peak masters of Mount Wuqi had a private gathering.
Fairy Shi also has her own news channel, mentioning that the Liang Guozong sect suffered a disastrous defeat, and the loss was greater than the outside rumors.
She speculated that Liang Guozong's sect should stop fighting, retreat to the territory, and recuperate.
"I hope that the war will cease as soon as possible, and that Liang Guoxiu's world will restore stability as soon as possible."
Ye Feiqi said.
Due to foreign wars and the transfer of Zongmen monks, the law and order in Liang Guoxiu's world has declined significantly.
In the past few years, Wu Qishan's business has plummeted.
"hope so."
Only Lu Changan knows that in the near future, the flames of war are likely to spread to Liang State.
…
The correspondence between Jinyun Valley and the outside world returned to normal.
Followed by two months.
Lu Changan received two letters from Zhao Tan'er.
One of them was a message from Zhao Tan'er himself.
Another letter was sent by Zhao Siyao from the front line.
Zhao Siyao said in the letter that she had withdrawn from the battlefield and was on her way back to Jinyun Valley in Liang State.
In the letter, the description of the war was only a few sentences, but it made Lu Changan feel the tragedy of it.
"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Lu, Siyao narrowly escaped death. Because he teamed up with Senior Brother Zhang Tieshan and managed to kill the fake real person from the enemy country by chance. He did a lot of service in that battle. Senior Brother Zhang and I were seriously injured, so we were the first to withdraw..."
"Kill the fake real person?"
Lu Changan's heart skipped a beat.
Zhao Siyao's description was very subtle. With the tacit understanding between the two, she obviously did not reveal the origin of the treasure talisman.
If that treasure talisman is activated, the outside world will only treat it as an ordinary third-order talisman.
It is not an exaggeration for the sect elites in the late foundation establishment period to get the third-order talisman by chance.
A third-order talisman has limited appeal to the true alchemy monks.
"Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for Zhao Siyao to kill the fake alchemy real person with that treasure talisman. Zhang Tieshan probably played a big role and has the means to threaten the fake alchemy real person."
Lu Changan pondered.
At the end of the letter, Zhao Siyao hoped that after she and Zhang Tieshan returned to the sect, Lu Chang'an would come over for a reunion.
Wait for the injury to heal.
Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan will focus on cultivation and concentrate on planning alchemy.
After being honed on the battlefield, Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan have gained a lot, and their cultivation has improved more smoothly.
"In a few years, some of the friends I have met in this life may reach the level of a real person."
Lu Changan smiled and put away the letter.
Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan's current cultivation bases are at a similar node, both of which are at the ninth floor of foundation building.
However, it will take some years before the peak in the late foundation establishment period.
Except for these two friends.
Lu Changan's good friend Xianzi, as well as his friends Song Wenshu and Zhou Qingxuan, are all on similar levels.
Can cultivate to the late stage of foundation establishment, and has defeated most of the monks of the same level.
The step of forming alchemy is more difficult.
Many peak monks in the late stage of foundation establishment have been unable to succeed for decades, or they can only achieve fake pills, with only more than a hundred years of life span, and they stop here for life.
Fake alchemy is essentially a "half-step alchemy" that is not recognized by many real alchemy monks.
"These old people have some hope of making fake alchemy. But can there be one or two people who can make real alchemy?"
Looking forward to the future, Lu Changan is not sure whether he will have the opportunity to witness it himself.
Achieving true pills, the big forces placed in all parts of the Daqing cultivation world can rank among the top.
…
One month later.
Lu Changan received news from the Tengxing Chamber of Commerce and went to Liaoyuan Fairy City.
Going to the residence of the Tengxing Chamber of Commerce this time, Lu Changan did not see Shen Bixin.
The person who received him was an elder of the chamber of commerce who was at the peak of the late foundation establishment period and was Shen Bixin's direct elder.
"The materials are finally available."
An hour later, a bulging storage bag emerged from Lu Changan's waist, and he flew away from Liaoyuan Immortal City.
The whole transaction process went smoothly.
Lu Changan purchased materials such as third-order spiritual sand, top-level puppets, and quasi-third-order puppets at market prices.
Because it is a basic material, the value is not particularly expensive, but it also cost tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones.
Because it was the first time to leave, Lu Changan did not hide his identity.
"No one is tracking, the reputation of the Tengxing Chamber of Commerce is not bad."
Until several hundred miles away from Liaoyuan Immortal City, Lu Changan nodded secretly.
During the period, his mind was integrated into the second investigation of the Jiuyin Monument many times, and he confirmed that there was no tail behind him.
The transaction amount this time, compared to the ordinary mid-stage foundation establishment, is indeed a waste of money.
It's not that Lu Changan is not stable anymore, but that today is different from the past.
Risk is inversely proportional to strength.
The way Lu Changan revealed to the outside world is no longer an ordinary mid-stage foundation establishment.
The strongest member of the Tengxing Chamber of Commerce is just a fake real person.
This leakage of money will attract fake alchemy masters, or many late-stage foundation builders.
In the current special period.
As long as it doesn't expose his own secrets, Lu Changan doesn't mind taking some controllable risks in order to speed up the improvement of his strength.
…
After returning to Wuqi Mountain.
Lu Changan ensured the stable operation of the quasi-third-order mountain protection formation.
In the future, he will use part of his focus to improve the "Yunsha Body Refining Jue" and increase the puppet's training.
"The third-order spiritual sandstone, the effect is really extraordinary..."
In the secret room of Xiaoguifeng, Lu Changan was soaked in the medicinal bath of spiritual sand mixed with several colors. The muscles all over his body swelled, and the surface of the skin had a cloud-like spar texture.
There is a tingling and burning discomfort in the body.
It was the first time he used the third-order spiritual sandstone to practice, and he finally felt a slow improvement in the "Cloud Sand Body Refining Jue" that had been stagnant for many years.
I didn’t sleep well last night, I was very sleepy. The efficiency of the code is too low, and I took a nap halfway.
