Chapter 219 Frontier Demon Cult
Lu Changan's heart moved, Zhang Tieshan really has the secret method of transforming alchemy, and it is a superior secret method.
With a 30% success rate, the risk is still relatively high for individual cultivators.
Even if the pill is successfully transformed into liquid, and there is a chance to recondense the pill, the success of the pill formation cannot be guaranteed next time.
After all, the qualifications of those who make fake alchemy are often not top-notch.
However, if it is supported by Zhenjun Yuanying and paired with rare spiritual objects of heaven and earth, the success rate of this secret method will be considerable.
This is why most of the complete and reliable alchemy secrets are controlled by Yuanying-level sects.
"Fellow Tianfeng's alchemy secret method, can Lu Mou observe a part of it first to confirm the authenticity."
Lu Changan pondered.
"good."
Zhang Tieshan took out a blank jade tube, stuck it on his forehead for a moment, and threw it to Lu Changan.
"Returning Dust to Transforming Pill".
Lu Changan checked the contents of the secret method in the jade tube, and nodded secretly.
He obtained an incomplete alchemy secret method in his previous life. After mutual verification, the part given by Zhang Tieshan is obviously more advanced and perfect.
"How will Fellow Daoist Tianfeng plan to trade?"
After the preliminary verification, Lu Changan returned the jade tube to Zhang Tieshan, and did not make any detours.
After finishing speaking, Lu Changan took out a jar of Five Elements Soil, and said bluntly:
"Without the protection of Yuanying Zhenjun, the secret method of transforming alchemy alone has considerable limitations."
"The Five Elements Soil is known as the 'universal source of soil' and has a wide range of uses. Not only can it cultivate almost all fairy plants and exotic plants in the world, it has a bonus effect. Moreover, as the best refining and neutralizing material, it can improve the quality of magic weapons and refining tools success rate…”
Lu Changan speculates that Zhang Tieshan needs the Five Elements Soil, which may be related to refining equipment.
However, the magic weapon refined by the five elements soil is of high rank. At present, Zhang Tieshan, who has a fake alchemy, is not very suitable.
In addition, Lu Changan also thought of a possibility: with the characteristics of the five elements soil, it can be used to restore high-grade treasures.
"What Fellow Daoist Lu said is true. The Five Elements Soil is indeed a rare and rare strategic resource. However, the secret method of transforming alchemy to the way of cultivating immortals is comparable to other things."
"Zhang's "Returning to Dust and Transforming Alchemy" is superior to the secret method of transforming alchemy in the surrounding Yuanying Sect. Apart from Zhang, there is no other school."
Zhang Tieshan's tone was calm, pointing out the key points in one word.
Lu Changan has a clear mind, even if he can be found, there is no guarantee of safety.
Those who have a complete and reliable alchemy secret method, excluding the Yuanying Zhenjun, are at least the elder level of the Yuanying sect.
Lu Changan didn't want to have long nights and dreams, because a small loss made a big difference.
On the premise of ensuring the success of the transaction, try to strive for some benefits.
Zhang Tieshan wants to trade a jar of Five Elements Soil, and is willing to give compensation in terms of spirit stones, high-level exercises, etc.
Lu Changan did not agree, and only wanted to sell half a can of Five Elements Soil.
Five Elements Soil is generally not the main material of refining equipment, similar to rare earth, neutralized in refining equipment, the demand for normal refining of a magic weapon is not high.
Because he was worried about losing money in the deal, Lu Changan restricted the serving size.
However, for a craftsman, the more five elements soil, the better.
"Forget it, I hope that the remaining Five Elements Soil in Lu Daoyou's hands will not be traded."
Zhang Tieshan's need for the Five Elements Soil is indeed urgent, so he sighed and made a concession.
Lu Changan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Tianfeng. Mr. Lu is not a craftsman. In the next few decades, the remaining Five Elements Soil will be reserved for you."
Zhang Tieshan obviously has a chance, and his luck is not small. He has mastered the secret method of transforming alchemy, but only a fake alchemy, and the plan is very big.
Lu Changan does not mind trading with him in the future to obtain other scarce resources.
…
"I hope Fellow Daoist Lu will swear an oath of demons, and after obtaining this secret method of transforming alchemy, he will not disclose it to third parties."
Zhang Tieshan recorded the complete "Returning to Dust and Transforming Pills" into a jade tube.
"Fellow Tianfeng's words are in line with Lu's wishes. The content of this transaction, including the acquisition of the Five Elements Soil, I hope that fellow Taoist Tianfeng can also swear the oath of the inner demon and not leak it to the outside world."
Lu Changan added.
The two parties made an oath of demons, and then completed the transaction.
Zhang Tieshan got half a jar of Five Elements Soil, and after confirmation, his face showed a touch of joy.
Lu Changan looked at the secret method of transforming alchemy in the jade tube with his spiritual sense, and was satisfied.
Neither of them explored the other's secret.
Zhang Tieshan did not ask Lu Changan where he got the Five Elements Soil.
Lu Changan didn't explore either, what Zhang Tieshan needed the Five Elements Soil for, and where did he get the secret method of transforming alchemy.
The aptitudes of both of them are not outstanding. If they can get to this point, if they say that there is no chance, the outside world will not believe it.
"Lu is going to hide in a remote place, preparing to form alchemy, and I don't know when he will return. After fellow daoist Zhao leaves the customs, fellow daoist Wang Tianfeng will let you know."
Before parting, Lu Changan cupped his hands.
In this life, his two closest friends are Li Erqing and Zhao Siyao.
Li Erqing met him at Feiyue Lake before.
Zhao Siyao was in retreat, and his disciples also went to the front line, so they couldn't meet each other.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, please take care, Zhang will definitely tell you."
Zhang Tieshan nodded solemnly.
At the top of the lonely peak, he watched Lu Changan ride away on the waves and disappear into the sky.
Shua!
Zhang Tieshan had half a jar of Five Elements Soil in his hand. The jar was still there, but the Five Elements Soil inside was missing out of thin air.
"Yes, with this five-element soil, plus the gold and iron materials and magic weapons collected in the past few years, the fragments of the spirit treasure where the spirit of this weapon is located will be repaired by 60 to 70%, which can speed up the recovery of spirituality."
An immature voice, but pretending to be an old voice, sounded in my mind.
"With the spirituality of Senior Qi Ling, have you ever seen Fellow Daoist Lu's footsteps?"
Zhang Tieshan asked curiously.
"The aura of this son's technique, the spirit of this weapon seems to be familiar."
Qi Ling, with a tender voice, revealed a trace of doubt in his tone.
"Unfortunately, because the spirit treasure exploded and split into several pieces, and the spirit of this weapon was newly conceived, 90% of the memories can't be recalled."
"The strange thing is that in this meeting, there seems to be a hidden and unknown mystery in that kid. It can block the calculation and spiritual induction, so that the spirit of this weapon cannot be explored in depth."
"Unknown mystery?"
"I can't tell the spirit of this weapon. Maybe I have to wait until I gather the other fragments and recover to the peak before I can find out one or two."
Hearing this, Zhang Tieshan was surprised. There was a mystery in Lu Changan that Qi Ling could not understand and detect for the time being.
…
One month later.
The dark green tortoise carried the man in white, approaching the northwestern border of Liang State.
"Senior Lu. Further west, monks from other countries are not allowed to enter unless there are pass orders signed by several major sects."
A group of law enforcement monks stopped Lu Changan's whereabouts. The man who led the middle stage of foundation establishment told him politely.
The Golden Cloud Valley authentication jade pendant that Lu Changan obtained before has lost its effect in this area.
"Lu Mou didn't reach the border of the West, so he went to the north to visit his old friends."
The highest cultivation level of this team of monks is only in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and Lu Changan is sure to kill them.
However, the sect law enforcement monks near the border have the means of subpoenaing.
Slightly stronger fluctuations in fighting skills can be sensed by special magical weapons farther away, attracting higher-level sect experts.
Two days later.
Lu Changan arrived at a snow-capped mountain with the fragrance of plum blossoms.
This is his first visit to the family land of "Xuemeishan Li Family".
"Grandpa Lu."
Not long after, a strong young man wearing a fur cloak greeted him warmly.
Having lived in the bitterly cold northern region for a long time, Li Congren is no longer the handsome young man he was when he was young, he is more rough and bold in his calmness.
Haven't seen him for many years, Li Congren's cultivation has entered the middle stage of foundation establishment. He is nearly ten years younger than Mu Bingyun, and his cultivation on the fifth floor of the foundation is not far behind.
In the main hall of the Xuemeishan tribe, Lu Changan also saw a female cultivator in the middle stage of foundation establishment.
"This is the **** 'Wu Yue'e'."
Li Congren's wife has an ordinary appearance, plain clothes, and slightly dark complexion.
Judging from appearance alone, Li Congren is not a good match.
"Meet Grandpa Lu."
Wu Yue'e is neither humble nor overbearing. Although she looks ordinary, she has bright eyes and teeth like snow shells.
Lu Changan knew that this wife gave Li Congren a lot of help during the difficult period of his pioneering abroad.
Or because of war factors, the two got married very low-key, and did not hold a wedding in public.
When they met for the first time, Lu Changan took out a set of second-rank top-grade talismans, and presented it to Li Congren's wife as a meeting gift.
After Li Congren and his wife declined, thank you for accepting.
A few years ago, Li Congren paid off his grandfather's debts, honored Lu Changan, and at critical moments, passed information on the border blockade to Lu Changan.
This time, Lu Changan came to Xuemeishan Li's family, hoping to use Li Congren's channel to obtain more information and go to Jing Country, which is neutral in the Immortal Cultivation Country.
"Congren, the Xuemeishan Li family has developed well, no wonder your grandfather praised it many times."
Lu Changan said from the bottom of his heart.
In addition to Li Congren and his wife, the Li family of Xuemeishan also has a priest from the Foundation Establishment Period who has a life-and-death relationship with Li Congren.
In terms of family management, Li Congren is quite talented, far better than his grandfather Li Erqing.
Not only that, Li Congren also has some skills in diplomacy, and maintains a good relationship with the Zhou family of Yushou and Jin Yungu.
Even established business contacts with merchant chambers in neighboring countries.
Before the war, Li Congren bought the mine development rights in advance, which also made war fortune.
…
Squeak!
While chatting, the rock rat got restless, got out of the storage bag, and grinned at Li Congren.
The monster breath of the second-order peak moved Li Congren and his wife.
"The rock rat is very sensible and won't mess around."
Lu Changan laughed.
Li Congren hesitated for a moment, and patted the pet bag.
Squeak!
A crisper mouse sound came. A light golden rat demon with eyes like jewels and soft hair jumped out of the soul pet bag.
In terms of appearance, this rat demon is even better.
In comparison, the ground rock mouse is more like Sha Matt in the rat demon.
"The rat monster in the middle stage of the second level seems to have the blood of a treasure hunting mouse."
Lu Changan secretly looked at it.
The light golden rat demon is smaller than the rock rat, and is a little fearful.
Squeak!
The rock mouse whispered a few times, and after communication, the treasure hunter lowered its vigilance.
Not long after, the two rat demons happily went outside to play.
The ground rock mouse is female, but stronger.
After a while, the pale golden rat demon was dragged into the grove by the rock rat.
Li Congren's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
Lu Changan didn't take it seriously, and shifted the topic to the border between the two countries.
"Yue'e, go out and see the little golden mouse."
Li Congren was instructed by Lu Changan to send his wife Wu Yue'e out for a walk.
Lu Changan no longer concealed, explained his purpose of coming, and asked Li Congren about the way to Jing country.
Li Congren glanced at Lu Changan without showing any surprise.
"Grandpa Lu, I'm telling you the truth. Congren has contacts with people from the "Business League" of Jing State. Two years ago, there was even a stable channel to arrange for people to take refuge in Jing State, but it required a high fee."
"What's the situation now?"
Lu Changan secretly thought that he really found the right person. Because of his business contacts with neighboring countries, Li Congren got acquainted with the monks of the Jingguo Business League.
Jing State is a neutral country, and the chamber of commerce is very powerful, even rivaling the country's Immortal Cultivation Sect.
"In the past year, Liang Guozong's sect has been very strict. In the past, the chamber of commerce of the business alliance could bring a few monks back to Jing country for each transaction. There was even a special bodyguard organization that transported smuggled immigrants through giant boats and sold tickets. .Now, this situation is severely cracked down."
"A few days ago, a smuggled spirit boat was captured by Liang Guozong. The creatures on board were killed."
Li Congren's tone was serious.
Lu Changan understood that he had missed the best time.
One or two years ago, he had just been promoted to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and had not yet entered the ancient ruins.
"If it's just a severe crackdown by the sect, it's nothing more than an increase in risk, and there is still a lot of room for maneuver."
"However, in the past six months, a considerable part of the important border areas going to Jing State have been controlled by the forces of the Devil's Cult."
"Mysterious Yin Demon Cult?"
Lu Changan was thoughtful: Due to the wars in the surrounding Xiuxian Kingdom, the Demon Cult forces led by Liang Shaotian have revived in the chaotic situation in the past ten or twenty years, and won a good opportunity for development.
"Yes! The business alliance monks who pass through the road only need to pay the toll to the Demon Cult. The treatment is completely different for the monks who took refuge in Liang State and went to Jing State. Capture or be killed..."
Li Congren sighed.
Sect attack, demon sect threat, robbery and looting...
Lu Changan probably sorted out his thoughts.
"From our area, the main road to Jing Country is controlled by a key figure of the Devil's Cult. This person is overbearing and tyrannical. He doesn't play cards according to common sense, which is a headache."
"Oh, who is the number one from the Devil's Cult?"
"This person's name is Xiang Jinglong. He was once a well-known ruthless casual cultivator in Liang Guo. Grandpa Lu should have heard of it."
"Have heard."
Lu Changan remained calm, a strange feeling appeared in his heart.
Li Congren continued: "In the early years, Xiang Jinglong was wanted by the Lihuo Palace, and he joined the Xuanyin Demon Sect. He was cultivated and reused by the leader of the Demon Sect, and his strength has greatly increased."
"Now, this person's body refining technique has been cultivated to the quasi-third level, and his strength is far superior to that of ordinary fake alchemy real people. It is rare to have an opponent under the real alchemy."
