Chapter 279 Third Tier Alchemist
One month after Zhao Tan'er left.
Lu Changan, who has reached the age of 178, learned a rather unexpected piece of information.
He was actually wanted by a reward.
Although the wanted influence is currently limited to Chen Guoxiu's Immortal Realm.
Liang Guoxiu's world does not approve of Chen Guoxie's wanted arrest. After all, the object of the reward is the elders of the sect in his country.
Neutral monks in the outside world tend to sympathize with Lu Changan.
Chen Guoxie couldn't produce hard evidence. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lu Changan was probably wronged.
One party is a good old man with a reputation of inspiration, low-key and down-to-earth.
One side is a domineering force that overshadows the sky in its own country.
"Lack of morality, people's hearts turn to me, Chen Guoxie did this, what's the plan?"
In Yunlai Peak cave, Lu Changan frowned, and fell into short thought.
"Huh? Chen Guoxie's reward is actually a threat to me."
Chen Guoxie's rewards are quite generous, including the broken-rank elixir in the middle stage of alchemy, which is very attractive to most alchemy monks.
No matter which country's monks capture and kill Lu Changan, they can go to Chen country to receive a reward.
"Furthermore, launching an arrest warrant may make Xia Wenyue worry, so she will negotiate with Mrs. Chen Guoxie and plead for mercy."
Lu Changan realized the problem.
Chen Guoxie, in the local cultivating world, must have mastered the public opinion.
The monks in this country may really think that Lu Changan colluded with Wujianmen or Xuanyin Sect and killed Xie Wuji.
Cultivators who hate magic will definitely be willing to accept the task.
Think for a moment.
Lu Changan wrote a letter with a pen.
As the elder of Jinyun Valley, sent it to Xia Wenyue of Aoyue Palace.
There is no reminiscence in the letter, let alone nostalgia for the past.
Lu Changan just told Xia Wenyue that he would not leave Jinyun Valley's sphere of influence and was absolutely safe.
Actually, as long as Xia Wenyue is asked to help intercede, the wanted bounty from Chen Guoxie's family and the injustice he has suffered will be resolved.
However, Lu Changan, who is inexplicably responsible, is quite disgusted with Xie.
Not only did Lu Changan not let them succeed, but he would beat the dog in the water when he had the opportunity in the future.
…
Two months later, Zhao Siyao returned to Jinyun Valley from the front line.
On that day, Lu Changan took over the dust for this century-old friend.
Or after years of battlefield wind and frost.
Compared to the last time we met, Zhao Siyao looked two years older, about thirty-one or twelve years old.
When I first returned to Jinyun Valley.
The fairy-like white dress in the past has turned into a dark blue leather armor robe, which sets off her tall and slender appearance in a heroic manner.
After Zhao Siyao returned to the cave, she changed into a plain dress, her temple hair was pulled high, without any makeup, simple and plain.
Maybe not as stunning as before, but still dignified and generous, mature and elegant.
From the famous girl in the cardamom age, to the glamorous and refined fairy of the Zongmen, to the fading beauty of the fake real person.
Lu Changan is like a witness to history, seeing the changes and ups and downs of each friend's life.
Elder Cave House.
Before the long case.
The two sat opposite each other, their eyes were calm and clear, and the atmosphere was natural and relaxed.
is also a century-old friend.
Compared to Li Erqing, there is a tacit understanding between Lu Changan and Zhao Siyao.
The relationship between the two is above that of friends.
But if you want to talk about the emotions between men and women, it seems not enough, because it has never started.
This is also the keynote of the past century of friendship, and the main focus is on friendship.
Actually, this relationship is stronger than most Taoist couples in the world.
Lu Changan didn't want to break this balance, and he didn't want to treat it as a dewy affair, tarnishing the friendship of a hundred years.
Even if he doesn't mind.
Zhao Siyao, as a self-sacrificing female cultivator with good conduct, is unwilling to accept such a relationship.
"I heard that the monks of the Demonic Dao fight fiercely, and fellow Daoist Zhao may be in danger."
Lu Changan opened his mouth and said.
"There is no absolute security in the war of cultivating immortals."
Zhao Siyao's voice was a little low.
"Even though Siyao was guarding Xiancheng on the second line of the battlefield, he had experienced several fights. One of the battles defending the city almost destroyed his right arm, but fortunately he repelled the enemy. Afterwards, the doctor continued."
"It's a great fortune for Siyao to be able to survive. Many comrades who fought side by side, they..."
The corners of Zhao Siyao's eyes were red, and some tragic scenes were unbearable to describe.
Once, a fake Dan male cultivator who had rescued him had a burst head, flesh and blood, and splashed on her face.
"Have you badly hurt your arm? Let me see."
Knowing that Zhao Siyao's arm had been cut off, Lu Changan broke into a cold sweat.
If it was a little more biased, she might not be able to see her today.
Zhao Siyao rolled up the sleeves of her skirt, revealing her ivory-colored arms. On the shoulders, there was a circle of scars like centipedes.
"Fortunately, the continuation was in time, and after two years of recuperation, it has little effect on the fighting skills."
Lu Changan injected Changqing mana to help her heal and nourish her for an hour.
"If the doctors on the battlefield have the medical skills like Chang'an, I am afraid that many casualties can be reduced."
Zhao Siyao retracted his wrist, feeling a little lighter, and couldn't help admiring it.
"Well, I didn't mean to ask you to go to the battlefield..."
With a smile on her eyebrows and a soft voice, she added another sentence.
"It's okay! Even if it means that, I won't go to the battlefield."
Lu Changan said bluntly.
Zhao Siyao burst out laughing, breaking the sadness and depression after returning from the battlefield.
Afterwards, Lu Changan learned about the war situation of the demonic invasion from Zhao Siyao.
In fact, Xing Peng will report relevant information to him.
Zhao Siyao's description was more detailed, allowing Lu Changan to understand a more real side.
…
The frontline battlefields are mainly Yan and Chen.
The fourth-order spiritual veins of Yan Kingdom are guarded by the remnant forces led by the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs who were defeated by the Six Sects of Demon Dao.
The mountain gate of their homeland, their relatives, friends and teachers were destroyed by the evil way, and they have mortal hatred.
The major immortal nations of the Guardian Alliance are continuously supporting the front line.
Jin Yangzong of Liang State sent a Nascent Soul and left one to guard the land.
The three Nascent Soul forces of Feng State are closer to the front line of Yan State, and they have sent several Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
On the frontline battlefield, the Nascent Soul War has already broken out.
Beastmaster Gu Benzong, currently sent a middle-stage Nascent Soul and three early-stage Nascent Souls.
At the same time, there are two Nascent Soul True Monarchs affiliated to the sect.
This is not the real strength of Beastmaster Valley.
It is said that there is at least one middle-stage Nascent Soul and two early-stage Nascent Soul behind the Valley of the Beastmasters, suppressing the native land, as well as the previously occupied area of cultivating immortals.
Among the six sects of magic, Beastmaster Valley is considered to be the most powerful.
Their top combat strength is not limited to Nascent Soul True Monarch, but also the fourth-order beast king they cultivated.
Beastmaster is cultivated by a unique method, which consumes potential and lifespan, and its body is as huge as a hill.
Attacking the fortress head-on, comparable to Yuanying Zhenjun.
The disadvantages of the fourth-order beast king are mainly that their intelligence is poor, and the mobility and variety of methods are not as good as those of Yuanying Zhenjun.
For this reason, the Guardian Alliance must form a formation of many alchemy cultivators in order to resist the attack of the fourth-order beast king.
In addition, there are normal fourth-order big monsters in Beastmaster Valley, including fourth-order birds.
In terms of top-end combat power, the Guardian League suffered a bit.
Due to the gathering of the power of cultivating immortals from many countries, there is a certain advantage in the number of monks on the foundation, fake alchemy, and real alchemy.
However, there are also a large number of middle and low-level war beast cannon fodder cultivated by the Valley of the Beastmasters.
The Guardian League can only rely on its local advantages to defend against the invasion of the Magic Beast King Valley.
"The top combat power is not as good as it is, so we can only defend passively..."
Lu Changan sighed inwardly.
If you dare to take the initiative to attack, you will be easily broken by differentiation, and you will not care about the end.
The defender, relying on the geographical advantage of the Immortal City's spiritual veins, will pay a lower price.
Fortunately, the number of monks in the middle and lower classes can fight a defensive war of attrition, and the new blood in the rear will continue to provide assistance.
…
Two years later.
Zhao Siyao, who recovered from his injuries, went to the front again.
It is said that Zhao Tan'er was injured on the front line. Although the injury was not too serious, it was also somewhat thrilling.
Zhendan female cultivators are relatively rare, and they are easy to be targeted on the battlefield.
Especially Zhao Tan'er, this young and beautiful true alchemy female cultivator.
As a master, Zhao Siyao was very worried, so he went to the front line to ask and take care of him.
Lu Changan knew he couldn't persuade him, so he didn't stop him.
The relationship between Zhao Siyao and Zhao Tan'er is like a mother and daughter. The time spent together in the world of cultivating immortals has exceeded a hundred years.
This kind of feeling is better than a biological daughter.
All Lu Changan could do was to sell Zhao Siyao's high-quality Tier 3 talismans at a friendly price.
A few days later.
"Elder Lu, this is the longevity pill sent by Shuwutang."
The maid, Xiao Qiu, presented a brocade box.
Lu Changan nodded and returned to the secret room.
Opening the brocade box, the elixir contained in the jade bottle inside was exactly the second-order high-quality longevity pill he needed.
For this longevity pill, Lu Changan issued a mission in the sect through his elder status.
The reward is the contribution of the sect, the refining quasi-third-order talisman.
On the contrary, the price of materials such as longevity pills has dropped slightly compared to usual.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Changan either overtly or covertly collected things that prolong life.
Except the one I got today.
Using his vest identity, Lu Changan participated in an auction in the Bauhinia Immortal City within the Jinyun Valley's sphere of influence, and bought a Tier 2 high-quality Longevity Pill.
If it was Liang Guo in the past, the second-tier boutique Yanshou Pill would not be so easy to buy.
After the Jinyang Sect took over, they moved their spiritual veins, bringing with them many cultivating forces with inheritance background.
Liang Guoxiu's world is more prosperous than ever.
Coupled with the catalysis of war, some forces, or individual alchemists, are willing to sell this scarce material in order to increase life-saving means.
"Extended life for eighteen years."
This is the third second-order high-quality longevity pill that Lu Changan has taken.
Half a year ago, I took the second pill, which prolongs my life by 22 years.
The one that was first in the country of Jing extended its life by twenty-eight years.
There are such effects, because Lu Changan refreshed the drug resistance by taking the high-quality second-order longevity pill.
These two high-quality life-extending pills brought Lu Changan's total lifespan to 1040 years.
"The method of Zongmen mission can only be used once. In the future, the second-order high-quality longevity pill can only be collected secretly with vests."
"In addition, there are third-order longevity pills in Liang Guoxiu's world today. But they are rarely sold, and most of them are digested internally."
As the elder of the knot pill, Lu Changan is qualified to compete for the third-order longevity pill.
Ordinary third-order longevity pills can often extend life by about thirty years.
If Lu Changan takes it, the effect can be doubled.
The third-order longevity pill, compared with the first-order and second-order, the value increase is not linear.
Because the group it targets is high-level monks, and the last time it is a fake real person.
If there is no strategic resource, it is difficult to trade to the third-order longevity pill.
"The material of the Congealing Pill can come in handy."
Lu Changan thought.
He has a complete set of Crystal Congealing Pill materials in his hand.
Originally from the "Dark Night Fisherman" colluded by Song Wenshu, after years of collection, there is only one main drug missing.
The final condensed crystal elixir is obtained from Lihuo Shangren's space storage ring.
Lu Changan is going to hire a third-tier alchemist to refine the Crystal Condensation Pill.
Then use the Congealing Crystal Pill to find someone to trade the third-order Life Extension Pill.
Affected by the magic war, the value of strategic resources such as Crystal Condensation Pill has increased significantly.
It should be no problem to exchange for the third-order longevity pill.
If the cultivating power of immortality with the third-order longevity pill loses the monk who formed the pill in the battlefield of the demon invasion, I'm afraid it's what I wish for.
…
Jinyun Valley has a third-rank mid-level alchemist.
This human name is "Morning Dan", he has cultivated in the early stage of alchemy, an elder of alchemy in the sect, and concurrently serves as the head of Caomu Hall.
In terms of status, he is higher than Lu Changan, the elder of Ke Qing
Master Chen Dan is an alchemist trained by Jin Yungu himself.
It is said that his spiritual root aptitude back then was only a middle-grade spiritual root.
But this person has amazing alchemy aptitude.
In order to train him to be a third-tier great alchemist, Jin Yungu invested a lot of resources to help him barely form a downstream true alchemy.
After forming the alchemy, Master Chen Dan lacked stamina in cultivation, even if he took the broken-level elixir, he could not advance to the middle stage of alchemy.
Lu Changan speculated that before forming the alchemy, this person relied too much on other medicines, which killed his potential.
The hopeless Daoist Chen Dan simply put his energy into alchemy.
In the past few years, Lu Changan and Chen Dan have met each other, but they haven't had much contact with each other.
This person spends most of his time buried in the alchemy room, and Lu Changan rarely goes out, so he may not meet once a year.
On this day, Lu Changan went directly to visit the cave of Master Chen Dan.
Chendan Zhenren is a sloppy blue-robed Taoist priest with two mustaches, disheveled hair and blue eye bags.
"Pindao refines crystal condensing pills. Normally, two pills can be made. If the performance is a little poor, one is genuine and one is defective. If it is performed supernormally, it is possible to make three pills."
For Lu Changan, the guest elder, Reverend Chendan did not neglect him. He met him immediately and answered questions patiently.
"Please ask Fellow Daoist Chen Dan to refine Crystal Condensation Pill once, what is the reward?"
"As long as Master Lu is willing to exchange a condensed crystal pill for a contribution to the sect, the poor will not receive a single cent."
Realist Chen Dan has bright eyes, strokes his beard and smiles.
Lu Changan was surprised, he never thought that this alchemy elder would be so loyal to Jin Yungu.
As long as this alchemist sits in charge, Jinyun Valley will not be short of new blood from Daoist Jiedan in the next two hundred years.
In the war of cultivating immortals in the past few years, the loss of Daoist jiedan was almost made up before the outbreak of the magic war.
"If Elder Chen Dan can refine three, Lu will consider exchanging one of them for contribution. If not, only the third-order longevity pill can be traded."
Lu Changan neither refused nor agreed, and put forward corresponding conditions.
Half an hour later.
Lu Changan and Elder Chen Dan reached an alchemy agreement.
If there are three Chengdans, Lu Changan will exchange one of them for a contribution to the sect, and Elder Chendan will not receive any compensation.
Two Chengdans, Lu Changan used a third-order talisman to deduct the reward.
Elder Chen Dan doesn't want to pay if he performs worse.
Taking out the alchemy materials, Lu Changan waited for Elder Chen Dan to make alchemy.
…
Half a month later.
Lu Changan got two authentic Congealing Crystal Pills, and left the alchemy elder's cave.
Elder Chen Dan tried his best, and his eye circles became black, but in the end he couldn't practice three crystal condensing pills, and he regretted it.
Lu Changan thought to himself, both were alchemists, the difference in character between Hua alchemist and Elder Chen Dan was too great.
Elder Chen Dan worked hard to give the sect an extra crystal condensing pill, and would rather not be rewarded for alchemy.
In addition, Elder Chen Dan also promised Lu Chang'an that he would not tell others about the refining of the Crystal Condensation Pill.
Results the next day.
Sect Master Jin Yun came to visit, hoping to spend a lot of money to buy a Crystal Condensation Pill from Lu Changan.
Lu Changan secretly slandered him. He had just praised the old man Chendan for his good character, and then turned around and sold the news to Sect Master Jin Yun.
"Lu Mou's two crystal condensing pills, one is to fulfill the promise of the old man. The other is to trade the third-order life-extending pill."
"If the suzerain can get the third-order longevity pill, Lu is willing to trade."
Lu Changan used the same reason to politely reject Suzerain Jin Yun.
Jin Yungu wouldn't fall out with Lu Changan just because of a crystal condensing pill.
Even if there is a condensing crystal pill, most of them can only be fake pills.
The Great Elder and Zhang Tieshan were not in Jinyun Valley, Lu Changan thought to himself that the other true pills would not be able to threaten him even if they joined forces.
He is not alone, he has a third-order puppet, and a third-order monster with a half-step golden core.
"The third-order longevity pill, we will try our best to get it."
Suzerain Jinyun did not force himself.
Lu Changan is notoriously stingy with his life. Sect Master Jin Yun knows that he wants to trade the third-order life-extending pill, and it is not an excuse.
"Lu Mou owns the Condensing Crystal Pill, and I hope the suzerain will keep it a secret."
"Okay, this matter is only known to this sect and Elder Chen Dan."
Sect Master Jin Yun got up and left after promising.
…
A few days later.
Many fake alchemy elders in Jinyun Valley, the head of the hall, visited Lu Chang'an, and found out that the latter retreated and saw no visitors.
"It's great! Fortunately, this real person has the foresight."
Lu Changan, who was retreating, saw through the minds of these visitors.
at this time.
Squeak!
The Rock Rat emerged from the ground and said:
"Master, Xiaopeng is in contact and wants to meet you."
"Okay, let him wait at night."
Lu Changan ordered.
Two years ago, Lu Changan, who was an old man with white beard in his previous life, promised Xing Peng a chance to transform into an alchemy and asked him to prepare for it.
After hundreds of years of exploration, Lu Changan has figured out a corresponding method for the concealment of the evergreen secret technique.
Otherwise, he would not easily find someone to do experiments.
The most reliable method is to take a wood attribute spirit bead, or a high-quality wood elixir, and put the Evergreen Secret Technique into it.
In this way, the power of the evergreen secret technique will not pass away quickly, and can be kept for a short time.
Take it as soon as possible, and it will have 50-60% effect.
In addition, Lu Changan is still researching whether to seal the power of the Evergreen Secret Technique in a talisman or a treasure talisman, but has not been successful so far.
That night.
Lu Changan sneaked into the night with the wind, and came to the small courtyard of the outer disciple where Xing Peng was.
"Mr. Lu, this is the information you want from the Seven Kingdoms Alliance about Lihuo Palace."
Xing Peng did not mention the chance of Huadan, but presented a jade slip respectfully.
"Because you asked not to alert the high-level officials of the Infernal Gate, you should act very cautiously. But because of this, there may be a certain delay in intelligence."
"Um."
Lu Changan took the jade slip and checked it with his spiritual sense.
Following the information of Lihuo Palace is to fulfill Lihuo Master's last wish and obtain the previous life of Yuanying Zhenjun.
Lu Chang'an's plan is to stay dormant for more than ten years in the early stage of Jindan, wait for the mana to become deeper and the nail-headed arrows to develop stronger power, and then go to the Seven Kingdoms League.
Strength enough, to go to the Seven Nations Alliance, to help Lihuo Palace.
"It has been seventeen years since the Palace of Fire was moved to the Seven Kingdoms Alliance... After agreeing to send some monks to help resist the invasion of the Demonic Dao, I was able to purchase a third-tier mid-level spirit vein land, and the scale is not large."
"A few years ago, Wang Feng obtained the most core heritage of Li Huo Palace and formed a golden pill..."
"Lihuo Palace hopes to buy another quasi-fourth-order spiritual vein in the future. It needs to make contributions in the battlefield and face competitors. That quasi-fourth-order piece is expected to be cultivated into a fourth-order in the future. Next, revitalization of Lihuo Palace is expected."
Lu Changan put away the jade slips, and had a general understanding of the current situation of Lihuo Palace in the Seven Kingdoms League.
Then, he turned his attention to Xing Peng.
The latter is pretending to be an outer disciple, wearing a silky white velvet robe today.
"Are you ready for the pill transformation?"
