Chapter 215 Traveling on a Turtle
Valley Moor.
In the cover of the third-order formation, a stone door opened, revealing the figure of a man in black robe.
"The cover formation is intact."
Lu Changan looked outside the formation, the poisonous gas swamp, the vast mountains, and the silence.
In the depths of the faint misty mountains, occasionally there was a frightening roar of a beast.
In the process of returning to the ground, his spiritual consciousness has been checked, and there is no abnormality in the surrounding miles.
Before leaving, Lu Changan checked the storage bag on his body to confirm that the restraint was not loose.
He carried out another reinforcement of the isolation prohibition to prevent the leakage of breath.
One of the storage bags contains the biggest harvest of this trip, Xuanmu Gourd Vine.
After several days of deliberation, he speculated that the refuge in "Tinghai Pavilion" may be related to this object.
That's why Lu Changan was so cautious.
Half a while ago, he placed several isolation restrictions on the porcelain vat where the Xuanmu gourd rattan and the five elements soil were located.
During this process, Lu Changan's palm touched the dead little gourd fruit.
As a result, the Jiuyin Monument in his mind trembled slightly, and a grayish white light lit up, which actually produced the precursor of devouring Hundred Soul Gu that day.
Lu Changan restrained instinctively, let go of his hand in time, and the Jiuyin Monument also stopped showing signs.
It is not difficult for Lu Changan to imagine that there is a special quality in Xuanmu Gourd Vine, which can be absorbed by the Jiuyin Monument.
Maybe it will speed up the lighting of the fourth life like the division of Baisu Soul Gu.
This situation surprised Lu Changan.
In this case, it is even more necessary for him to cultivate the withered black wood gourd vines.
Even if the Xuanmu gourd vine is successfully cultivated, it will not meet Lu Changan's expectations, but at least it can provide the Jiuyinbei with some kind of "nutrient" it needs.
At present, the signs of life on the section of the gourd vine are too weak, and Lu Changan estimates that the progress of lighting up the fourth world of the Nine Seal Monument will not be accelerated much.
"When we return to Xiaoguifeng, we can use the material 'Phantom Stone' to create a layer of insulating material."
Lu Changan has a plan.
The Xuanmu Gourd Vine is stored in the ancient ruins, and it has not been approached by the hostile powers of Tinghai Pavilion for so long, or it can be inferred that he does not need to worry about this aspect.
Mainly to be on guard, the high-level monks encountered accidentally discovered it.
Finally, Lu Changan performed the Evergreen Kung Fu, and an invisible wave lingered all over his body, greatly reducing his sense of existence.
Whoosh!
Its figure turned into a black shadow, jumped out of the third-order cover formation, and flew over the black mist mountain range at low altitude.
With Lu Changan's current strength, he still dare not fly blatantly high in the Black Mist Mountains.
…
One month later.
Lu Changan returned to Mount Wuqi.
Before entering Little Turtle Peak, he swept away his consciousness and showed a little bit of astonishment.
After seeing each other for just a few months, Qi Feng, the guardian of the mountain, and Lan Rou, the maid, showed an extraordinary intimacy.
Lu Changan didn't care much about this.
The plan to escape to another country, he didn't plan to take the descendants of his adoptive father to leave with him.
Lu Changan called the two of them over and asked them a simple question.
In the few months since he left, Lu Changan prepared half a year's inventory of the talisman drawing task issued by the Zongmen.
During this period, the two of Qi Feng responded normally without any abnormalities.
"The tasks assigned by the sect have increased again."
Lu Changan speculated from this that the pressure on the frontline battlefield has further increased.
The area around Mount Wuqi, which is far from the front line, is now somewhat chaotic.
Afterwards, Lu Changan read a few letters and verified his guess.
On the frontline battlefield, Liang Guozong's sect was at a disadvantage, and the pressure was quite high.
The only good news is that the local battle has a geographical advantage, but there is no collapse-like defeat.
However, the hinterland of Liang Guozong's sect was infiltrated by monks from neighboring countries.
Feng country's secret operations penetrated into the rear, collected intelligence, secretly sabotaged, and instigated against the cultivating forces in Liang country.
The monks of the Zongmen strictly interrogated, and sometimes went to the major squares, the Xiuxian family, and the personal ashram to search, causing panic.
The order in wartime cannot be measured in peacetime.
Those small and medium-sized cultivating forces, even if no evidence is found, will inevitably have to pay tribute and spend money to eliminate disasters.
None of the few cultivating forces who were found to be "collaborating with the enemy" did not complain.
How many of them are real collaborators, Lu Changan is hard to say.
Fortunately, Wu Qishan is powerful, and Lu Changan and Elder Jin Yungu have a deep friendship, which saves a lot of trouble.
…
Little Guifeng, the secret room of the Dongfu.
Lu Changan counted the spoils of this ancient ruins.
When he was in the ruins, he only checked out the suspicious things, without specific inductive statistics.
"Mysterious Wood Gourd Vine, its grade may exceed the level of Yuanying Zhenjun, and its use is unknown. If you have a chance in the future, look for more ancient books."
"One tank of five-element spiritual soil, plus two more tanks."
"A jade tube for the inheritance of formations that is close to the fourth level is a rare heritage for a family of cultivators who have passed it down for thousands of years."
"Two low-grade magic weapons. The ruler magic weapon used by Tan Zhenzhen is a high-quality product of the same level, which is enough for the early stage of Zhendan."
"One of the third-order high-grade demon pills, the demon power has been seriously lost, and it is still a scarce and hard-to-find material."
"The shadow stone of the third-rank top grade is a large piece, which can conceal the aura and shield the consciousness. It is an excellent material for creating hidden and shadow magic weapons."
"The metamorphic third-order poison has obvious effects on fake pills and real people."
"Two large tanks of water from the spiritual spring."
"Hu Zhenren's array inheritance, related records."
"There are six or seven other third-order materials and quasi-third-order materials."
"20,000 to 30,000 spirit stones, unfortunately Tan Zhenzhen's storage bag was destroyed..."
Lu Changan only counts the trophies above the second-tier top grade.
Ordinary first- and second-tier medicinal materials, including top-grade magic tools, various props and miscellaneous items, are not attractive to him.
"Hey! This is... a special demon core that can be used as the main material of the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
After careful inventory, Lu Changan made some new discoveries.
Among the trophies, there are two special monster cores of the second-tier middle and upper grades, and one of them is from a monster with the blood of the earth grade.
Back then, Lu Changan joined forces with Zhao Siyao to venture into the Black Mist Mountains for the main medicine of Jizhu Pill. After a lot of twists and turns, he got the special demon core.
Now, killing two fake pill real people, it is easy to get two.
Among the many spoils of war, this is not very prominent. For Lu Changan, it has lost its attractiveness in the past.
Similar trophies are not limited to this, such as second-tier high-grade animal skin materials, etc.
…
Finish counting the loot.
Lu Changan took out a large porcelain jar filled with five elements soil from the secret room.
The withered and yellow gourd vines are planted on the five-element soil, and the vital energy has not changed, at least there is no tendency to wither.
On the way back, Lu Changan either watered the spiritual spring or nourished it with evergreen mana every day.
It is preliminarily confirmed that the nourishment of evergreen mana can replace the water of the spiritual spring in the small space of the ruins, and the effect is even better.
This is also an important factor for Lu Changan's successful transplantation.
However, it is impossible for Lu Changan to cultivate treasure talismans and gourd vines continuously all year round.
If you want a better growing environment, gourd vines can’t be kept in storage bags all the time, and it’s better to be able to take root on the ground.
For this reason, Lu Changan asked Xuanshuigui to try instead.
The mysterious water turtle has dual attributes of water and wood, and uses its own blood talent to perform cloud and rain with all its strength, and the effect is far superior to that of Ling Zhifu, a fellow practitioner.
On weekdays, the Xuanshui turtle watered the mountain with reservations.
Lu Changan discovered that the cloud and rain technique activated by Xuanshuigui's blood talent, as long as the dosage is sufficient and lasts for an hour a day, it can achieve the effect of the water of the spiritual spring.
Increase the dose, there is no improvement effect.
Lu Changan nodded secretly, this job can occasionally be handed over to Xuanshuigui.
The mysterious water turtle is very happy with this, and the withered gourd vine has an instinctive attraction to it.
After watering and nourishing each time, the Xuanshui turtle is happy physically and mentally.
Lu Changan once suspected that the tortoise would get some kind of benefits after watering the gourd vines.
But after careful observation, no changes were found.
"That's all..."
Lu Changan couldn't figure it out, so he was too lazy to think about it.
In the next one or two months, he will temporarily entrust this task to Xuanshuigui.
Lu Changan wants to smelt and peel off part of the "Shadow Stone" to create materials for isolation and concealment.
As a puppet master, the processing of refining materials is not a problem for Lu Changan.
Using his foundation-building spiritual fire to smelt and peel off the third-tier top-grade shadow stone, it seems very difficult and takes a lot of time to wear.
Fortunately, Lu Chang'an's Changqing Gong has a long qi pulse and long-lasting endurance.
It took nearly two months to create a half-inch thick metal leather with shadow stone as the main material and with special monster fur.
This metallic leather is dull and unpretentious.
Put it in the storage bag or in the secret room, so that it can hide from the spiritual detection of the monk Zhendan.
As for Yuanying Zhenjun, it is estimated that he can't hide it, but there is only one big boss at this level in the entire Liang Guoxiu world.
Even if Lu Changan wants to meet, he is not qualified.
In case of encounter, as long as you don't pay attention to it deliberately.
Because it is reincarnation reconstruction, there are many secrets in his body, when Lu Changan was in the alchemy stage of his previous life, he tried his best to avoid dealing with higher cultivators at this level.
In the last life, Lu Changan had contact with Zhenjun Yuanying, and the secret of the Nine Seal Monument was never revealed.
The situation in this life is more complicated. Changqing Gong, an ancient health-preserving skill, has a long history, and Zhenjun Yuanying may see the clues.
Therefore, for Lu Changan to choose the Immortal Cultivation Country where the alchemy is formed, it is best not to have the Nascent Soul True Monarch.
If it turns into a gray pill, that's all.
If you are promoted to a real pill, especially if the quality of the Chengdan is good, you may enter the vision of Yuanying Zhenjun.
Looking at it this way, among the surrounding Xiuxian countries, Jing country is the most suitable.
Jing Kingdom is a country of cultivating immortals with developed commerce and trade. It is said that there is some special reason why it has been able to remain neutral for hundreds of years.
…
This day.
After returning to Wuqi Mountain for two months, Lu Changan began to harvest the high-year precious medicinal materials grown on the mountain.
As early as when he settled in Xiaoguifeng, Lu Changan planted a batch of medicinal spirit wood, a considerable part of which would take a long time to become valuable.
Of course, Lu Changan can't make it too obvious.
He just transplanted the old and most valuable part of it.
Some less valuable, or common spiritual wood herbs are left on the Little Turtle Peak.
Just the transplanted part is comparable to a huge sum of money, which can make the monks in the late foundation establishment jealous.
With the help of the earth-type monster, the rock rat, Lu Changan completed the transplant in just one day.
A quasi-third-tier mountain guard formation, Lu Changan removed the core in advance, and only retained part of the peripheral power, which is equivalent to a second-tier mid-tier formation.
Outside monks, who are not second-level or higher formation masters, can't see the clue.
…
Everything is ready.
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Changan talked to Qi Feng, the guardian of the mountain alone.
"Grandpa Lu, how long will you be out this time?"
Qi Feng was a little surprised.
Now Liang is caught in the war of cultivating immortals, and the outside world is chaotic. Wuqi Mountain is a rare pure land.
Moreover, overnight, Lu Changan harvested all the valuable herbs on the mountain.
This must not be reminiscent.
"I'm going out this time, trying to find an opportunity to form an alchemy. It's as little as half a year, and as long as it is unpredictable..."
Lu Changan harvested medicinal herbs in the name of claiming to the outside world that he was planning to form alchemy in advance and purchase the prototype of the magic weapon.
As for whether the outside world believes it or not, he doesn't care.
"I'm in the study, leaving a letter. After half a year, if I don't come back, or if you encounter difficult troubles, you can open it..."
Lu Changan asked with a solemn tone.
"Yes, Grandpa Lu."
Qi Feng hesitated to speak, not daring to ask more questions.
At this moment, he had the feeling that Grandpa Lu was "confiding his funeral", and he felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart.
As a casual cultivator, after wandering outside for so many years, he finally found a peaceful place to practice, and was taken care of by his elders.
Now, all this seems to be leaving him.
"You don't have to worry, the rent for Little Turtle Peak is nearly ten years away. Even if I don't come back in a short time, it won't affect your practice."
Seemingly seeing his hesitation, Lu Changan smiled slightly and made a point.
Hearing this, Qi Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly thanked him.
Actually, apart from that letter, Lu Changan also left a simple inheritance of cultivating immortals to the descendants of his adoptive father, even including the remaining foundation building pill from that year.
"Grandpa Lu..."
Qi Feng was going to say something more.
Lu Changan waved his sleeves and waved towards the pond where lotus flowers were blooming.
…
Wow!
A big dark blue tortoise leaped out of the pool, riding the waves through the air, triggering a surging blue water wave.
The shadow of the big tortoise made Qi Feng, who was on the ninth level of Qi Refining, feel a strong sense of depression.
The quiet and gentle man in white slowly floated onto the back of the Xuanshui Turtle, standing with his hands behind his back, facing the wind and waves, like a fairy.
Qi Feng and Lan Rou were in a trance for a while.
Squeak!
The ground rock mouse rushed out of the cave anxiously, and landed on the back of the big turtle that was about to go away.
Hoo! Puff!
The Xuanshui turtle has a width of one foot and eight feet, and its feet are rippling with blue light. It carries a person and a mouse, and flies out of the small turtle peak that has been inhabited for seventy years.
This movement was noticed by Ye Fei who was adjacent to Xiaodan Peak.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you are riding a turtle, where are you going?"
Ye Fei was quite surprised.
On Little Turtle Peak, he often sees the mysterious water turtle with the blood of the land grade, as if it is just a mascot.
However, this is the first time I have seen the mysterious water turtle carrying its owner to fly out.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
"Hehe, Mr. Lu is going out to visit friends, and he is looking for opportunities to form pills by the way. Fellow Daoist Ye, please take care."
Lu Changan chuckled, turned around and clasped his fists.
One last look at Ye Fei, who is sharp-edged and looks like a young and middle-aged man.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, be careful on the road."
Ye Fei was stunned for a while, and bowed his hands in return.
Right now.
Many monks in Wuqi Mountain watched the Xuanshui Turtle ride the waves through the air, carrying the unassuming white-clothed figure, blending into the fog of formation around Wuqi Mountain, and the figure gradually disappeared.
Suddenly, Ye Fei's mind moved, thinking of something, his face trembled slightly.
"Turtle pets are not good at speed, but they are superior in endurance, good at long-distance driving, and the ride is extremely comfortable."
"Fellow Daoist Lu, is this going to... travel on a turtle!?"
