Chapter 237 Cold Soul Chalcedony
Hearing this, Lu Changan understood that his true identity had already been known by the Wufu Chamber of Commerce.
The relationship between Wufu Chamber of Commerce and New Moon Chamber of Commerce is opposite, and there is inevitably internal reaction between each other.
The New Moon Chamber of Commerce found out Lu Changan's true identity, which is not a top secret in the Chamber of Commerce.
"Wu knows a senior talisman master, surnamed Lu, surnamed Chang'an, who also comes from Liang Guoxiu Immortal Realm, but is this the target your Chamber of Commerce is looking for?"
Lu Changan said calmly.
"That's right! It's that Lu Fu master."
Xia Mingqu's eyes were shining, and he was overwhelmed.
"Young Master Xia, wait a moment, I will ask that friend to come out and meet."
After Lu Changan finished speaking, he got up and walked out of the hall for welcoming guests.
After about ten breaths.
A tall, tall, quiet and gentle young man in white clothes stepped into the hall.
Xia Mingqu was slightly taken aback, with a smile on his face, he got up and saluted:
"Bucai Xia's famous song, I have long admired Master Lu Fu's name."
"Young master Xia praised it absurdly. Lu is only slightly famous in Liang country, but in Jing country's world of cultivating immortals, few people know him."
Lu Changan politely returned the salute.
"this…"
Not far away, Xia Wenyue stared at the indifferent and quiet man in white, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment, looking at a loss.
For a while, she couldn't connect the slightly greasy middle-aged man with a round face in her memory with the handsome and refined man in white in front of her.
"Aunt Wenyue, I will take Fellow Daoist Lu to meet the patriarch first."
Xia Mingqu said to her.
"okay…"
Xia Wenyue finally came to her senses, a blush appeared on her pale snow-like face, and she bowed her head in response.
Lu Changan and Xia Mingqu walked out of the hall side by side.
"Lu Fushi, I heard that you have a spiritual pet mount, which is a Xuanshui turtle with the blood of the land?"
Xia Mingqu showed curiosity and asked with a smile.
Lu Changan's nickname of "Turtle Talisman Master" was widely spread in Liang State, partly because of the extremely slow-growing Xuanshui turtle.
"Exactly, let you come out to get some air."
Lu Changan waved his sleeve robe and waved towards the deep pool.
Poof! Wow!
After more than a dozen breaths, a big dark green turtle leaped out of the pool, causing a surging blue water wave.
Lu Changan smiled lightly, and his figure floated onto the back of the Xuanshuigui, standing with his hands behind his back, facing the wind and waves.
"Fellow Daoist Lu's demeanor is like a fairy."
Xia Mingqu had envy in his eyes, and took Lu Changan to the center of the Qingshawan tribe.
Along the way, the female cultivators of the Xia tribe who met looked at the man in white who was walking on the turtle, and couldn't help but take a second look.
"Famous song cousin, who is this?"
A dignified and beautiful blue-clothed female cultivator flew towards her, her eyes were shining brightly, and she saw a man in white clothes with extraordinary grace on the big turtle from afar.
"Sheng Lan, you actually know each other..."
Xia Mingqu is a little embarrassed, Lu Changan's identity information is currently only known to a few high-level people in the Xia Clan.
He secretly sent a voice transmission to explain the situation to Xia Shenglan.
"Miss Sheng Lan."
Lu Changan nodded and greeted him.
He remembered that when he rescued this woman back then, he had never seen such a bright and dynamic brilliance in his eyes.
"Wu Fan...Lu Changan..."
Xia Shenglan's pretty eyes widened, and she was stunned for a long time before watching the handsome figure in white clothes ride away on a turtle.
…
Qingshawan Xia family hinterland.
Shuilian Cave, where waterfalls pour down.
This place is the area with the strongest aura in the Xia Clan's world, reaching the level of quasi-third-order spiritual veins.
"Wufu Chamber of Commerce, does it have a brilliant pulse master who can mediate spiritual veins and cultivate the level of spiritual veins?"
Lu Changan thought to himself.
Five years ago, when Lu Changan first came to Shuilian Cave, the aura environment here was a little worse than it is now.
Of course, this difference is of little significance to the fake real person.
Most of the fake alchemy in the realm of cultivating immortals cannot improve their realm, they only need to maintain their cultivation base and not decline.
Therefore, some fake real people will choose to start a family, take care of mundane affairs in their free time, or go hedonism.
Only a few fake pills did not give up the way and seek further slim chances.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, please come in, the patriarch is waiting."
Xia Mingqu was guarding outside the Shuilian Cave, but she didn't go in.
In a stone hall in the Water Curtain Cave, Lu Changan saw the leader of the Xia Clan, Xia Hongyu again.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Lu is very good at disguise, but Xia was mistaken before."
Xia Hongyu is a monk who is good at health preservation. He is over two hundred years old, but he has a handsome face, fair skin, and only a little gray hair on the temples.
If you deal with him at close range, you can feel the vicissitudes of life on him.
"It's just a fluke. Lu is just relying on a disguised foreign object, which is not enough."
Lu Changan was neither humble nor overbearing, and took his seat under Xia Hongyu's hospitality.
At this meeting, Xia Hongyu felt like treating each other as equals, so he brewed a pot of spirit tea himself.
Lu Changan knew that a late-stage foundation-builder with good strength, who might be a quasi-third-tier talisman master, could fully afford this kind of treatment.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, this is your second-order spirit deed."
Xia Hongyu took out a spiritual contract and showed it in front of Lu Changan.
Puff!
Immediately, a pinch of flames ignited, burning the second-order spirit contract of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce to ashes.
Lu Changan was slightly moved, Xia Hongyu did this to show his sincerity.
The spiritual contract signed that year was somewhat forced by the situation.
Burning this spirit deed, the Xia Clan gave up the biggest means of restraint.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you have stayed in Qingsha Bay for many years and never left. Would you like to become an enshrined priest of the Xia Clan in Qingsha Bay? Don't worry about the treatment. You can refer to the most senior alchemist in the Wufu Chamber of Commerce. You can ask for any conditions."
Xia Hongyu spoke softly and cast kind eyes.
"Then let's talk about the specific obligations of enshrining. The main purpose of Lu's coming to your place is to take refuge and practice..."
Lu Changan said bluntly.
The remuneration can be appropriately lower, but it should not be subject to too many constraints, and it should not be spent too much energy on drawing symbols and refining alchemy.
Half an hour later, Lu Changan and Xia Hongyu negotiated terms.
Later, Lu Changan became the enshrinement of the Xia Clan in Qingshawan, mainly refining some high-quality talismans, and by the way, giving pointers to apprentices.
Original alchemy duties, Lu Changan would refine some when he was in a good mood.
The chief rudder of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce has cultivated a young and strong second-level alchemist in recent years. In this regard, he is not very dependent on Lu Changan.
In terms of remuneration, the Xia clan promised to provide Lu Changan with a dojo of top-grade spiritual veins, second-grade spiritual rice, animal food and other supplies, and the salary of spiritual stones has been doubled several times.
"If Fellow Daoist Lu gets used to living on Autumn Wind Island, I will ask the formation pulse master at the head of the Chamber of Commerce to help guide the spiritual veins, invest in spiritual stones, and transform your dojo into a second-level top-grade environment."
Xia Hongyu suggested.
"Then I will trouble the patriarch." Lu Changan did not refuse his kindness.
Although the spiritual pulse can be cultivated and improved, it is very slow.
In a short period of time, in order to raise Qiufeng Island's spiritual veins to the second-rank top grade, one or two other spiritual veins in Qingsha Bay must be sacrificed.
Before, Lu Changan cooperated with the spirit gathering array and invested some spirit stones to enjoy the top-grade spirit vein environment.
Save money today.
If it is paired with the Spirit Gathering Formation and invested with spirit stones, the aura environment in a certain area can be raised by half a level.
The aura environment of Qiufeng Island, even if it is raised to a higher level, is still not enough for the unscrupulous cultivation of Zhendan monsters.
Fortunately, the rock mouse is proficient in burrowing, and can rub aura in the mine veins around the ground. You can even go to the bottom of Qingshawan hinterland to rub the more intense quasi-third-order aura.
Anyway, the rock mouse has a lifespan of five or six hundred years, and Lu Changan didn't expect it to improve quickly when it first became a third-level monster.
It is not uncommon for a true alchemy monk or a third-tier monster at this level to have a small realm card for hundreds of years.
…
Xia Hongyu personally sent Lu Changan out of the Water Curtain Cave.
Xia Mingqu, who was guarding outside, had a strange look in his eyes.
The patriarch paid more attention to Lu Changan than he expected.
"Lu Chang'an's disguise, the secret technique of 'Hole and True Eye' that was able to fool me back then, is even more extraordinary than the information collected from Liang Guo..."
Back to Shuilian Cave, Xia Hongyu calmly answered Xia Mingqu's doubts.
Lu Changan stepped on the big tortoise and returned to Qiufeng Island mansion in his original identity.
Without having to live with a mask all the year round, Lu Changan was in a good mood and suddenly became enlightened.
"I have seen Senior Lu."
The medicine boys Xia Mingcheng and Xia Wenyue changed their names and respected them more than before.
Obviously, they learned of Lu Changan's true identity from other sources.
"No courtesy."
Lu Changan took a look at the thin girl with her head hanging down and her black eyebrows locked in smoke. Her face was as pale as ever, and she looked extremely weak.
Lu Changan recalled the previous conversation with Xia Hongyu, who had mentioned Xia Wenyue.
Xia Hongyu learned from the information that Lu Changan not only knows how to keep in good health, but also dabbles in medical skills, and is good at warming and nourishing the root of the disease.
"If Fellow Daoist Lu has time, I hope to see Wen Yue's condition."
At that time, Xia Hongyu just mentioned something casually, as if he didn't hold much hope.
Seeing Xia Wenyue goodbye at this moment, Lu Changan's heart skipped a beat.
However, when he thought of Xia Wenyue's rejection of his kind offer back then, his interest in it greatly diminished.
…
In the blink of an eye, two and a half years passed.
Unknowingly, Lu Changan has been in Jing country to cultivate immortals for seven or eight years.
His age has also entered the important hurdle of one hundred and fifty years old.
One hundred and fifty years old, for other foundation cultivators, there is little hope of forming alchemy in this life.
In the future, the body function will begin to decline, and the success rate of forming alchemy will drop sharply.
Of course, there is nothing absolute in the world of cultivating immortals, nothing is impossible.
Those monks who practice health cultivation can prolong their life and maintain a good physical condition, and then take the high-quality longevity pills, and the situation of forming pills in later years occurs in every era.
If the opportunity is against the sky, taking the legendary heaven and earth spirits can directly prolong life by one year, or even rejuvenate, which is also recorded in ancient books.
"Lu Fushi, Xia Wenyue passed out."
On this day, Lu Changan was checking the growth of medicinal materials in the medicine garden, and the medicine boy Xia Mingcheng came to report in a hurry.
"Cainted out again? Did you give her the pill?"
Lu Changan was no stranger to Xia Wenyue's fainting. During the years he was stationed in Qiufeng Island, it happened almost once or twice a year.
This woman has a cold body and a sick child since she was a child, and she can barely maintain her cultivation.
Lu Changan originally thought that this situation would improve after her cultivation base was improved.
As a result, after Xia Wenyue practiced to the late stage of Qi refining, her condition did not reverse, but the coldness in her body became heavier.
"She has been on medication. Her condition is a bit abnormal this time, and she hasn't woken up for a long time."
Xia Mingcheng added.
"Where is she comatose?"
"At the pharmacy."
Lu Changan couldn't help thinking.
In the past two or three years, the Wufu Chamber of Commerce was in turmoil and was fighting for power with the Xin family.
The external business industry was suppressed by the New Moon Chamber of Commerce.
The relationship between the Xia family and the Xin family dropped to freezing point after Xia Shenglan returned.
Later, the Xia clan inadvertently found evidence that the Xinyue Merchant Guild supported the Xin family, and there was even some overt or covert struggle.
The Xin family admitted that they received help from the New Moon Chamber of Commerce, but it was a normal transaction and did not betray the interests of the Chamber of Commerce.
Internal and external struggles, coupled with the spread of wars in neighboring countries, have brought more instability, and the chamber of commerce will inevitably suffer casualties in battles, resulting in a lack of wound medicine.
Xia Wenyue followed the way of a pharmacist.
In terms of medical skills and pharmacology, he is the first person in the younger generation. He has prepared a large amount of wound medicine for the family, and it is inevitable that he has been a little troubled recently.
…
Not long after, Lu Changan followed Yaotong to a pharmacy near the alchemy room.
In the pharmacy, a weak girl with a light blue veil skirt and eyebrows like Qingdai passed out on the ground.
Shen Yuluoyan's face was morbidly pale, his lips were blue and trembling slightly.
Lu Changan stretched out his hand and covered her smooth forehead, feeling a frost-like coolness.
Lu Changan frowned slightly, and held her slender wrist as cool as jade, and could clearly see the transparent pale green blood vessels under the crystal clear skin.
"The cold air has eroded the meridians and viscera, and for many years, the disease is dying."
Lu Changan came to a preliminary conclusion.
Under such symptoms, Xia Wenyue can still barely maintain cultivation, delve into medicine, and take care of the vulgar things on the island, which has exceeded his expectations.
Switched to other monks, the meridians have already been blocked, and they have become useless.
Lu Changan used the magic power of Changqing to dissolve the cold air that had condensed in Xia Wenyue's body.
During this process, he discovered that Xia Wenyue's belly button had left a deep hidden disease.
"Could it be the root of the disease brought out from the mother's womb."
Lu Changan speculated.
Half an hour later, Lu Changan dispelled the pent-up cold air in Xia Wenyue's body.
At this time, the girl was coughing in a coma, with fine sweat oozing from her forehead, and her body temperature began to rise.
"Um?"
Lu Changan was about to let go of his hand, when he suddenly found that Xia Wenyue's body began to slowly breed cold air again.
Where did the cold air come from?
Lu Changan felt puzzled, pinched the girl's slender wrist with two fingers, and faintly felt the coolness coming from the bones.
"The cold has been stagnant for so many years, isn't her bone..."
Lu Changan inspected Xia Wenyue's skeleton, again out of expectation.
The girl's bones are as slender as jade, with a feeling of crystal clearness. Although there is a sense of coolness, the expected cold air does not hurt the bones.
This coolness makes people calm and clear, which is different from the smoldering cold air in the body.
The root of the disease was not found in the bones.
Lu Changan used his spiritual consciousness to bless Changqing's mana, and checked the girl's upper body up to her head.
"In the soul, there is a chill..."
If it weren't for Lu Changan's strong spiritual sense, he checked very carefully, and almost neglected it.
In Xia Wenyue's soul consciousness sea, there was a trace of chill, as if it could frostbite the consciousness.
"Cold Soul... Jade Bone... Is this some kind of innate body?"
Lu Changan tried his best to recall the memories of his previous life.
Finally, the "cold soul chalcedony" recorded in an ancient book matched some of Xia Wenyue's symptoms.
Xiantian Dao body, also known as Xiantian treasure body, is an innate constitution independent of spiritual roots.
Lu Chang'an had very little contact with him in his previous life. In this life, he only heard that "Tuoba Jin", the arrogance of the Liang Kingdom, possessed a congenital treasure body, and later managed to form a golden elixir.
"Xiao Ming, you go to work first. Wenyue's condition is more serious, and she needs to be nursed with magic power."
Lu Changan waved his hand to make the drug boy Xia Mingcheng retreat.
According to the records in the ancient book in his previous life, the owner of the "cold soul chalcedony", an innate Taoist body, can only survive and develop if he is born on a female cultivator.
And before you succeed in cultivation, you must try your best to conceal it from the outside world, otherwise it may lead to death.
