Chapter 286 Third-order middle stage
The scene of reincarnation in front of me seems to be another mysterious dimension.
It seems to overlap with the world of cultivating immortals, but the creatures in the world, the cultivators of immortals, cannot perceive its existence.
Propelled by the invisible bond and the Jiuyin Monument, Lu Changan perceived this indescribable dimension for the first time.
Lu Changan subconsciously entered the Nine Seal Monument to search for the reason, and soon got a vague and abstract conceptual response.
It turned out that Lu Changan and Li Erqing were more causally involved in this life, and with the blessing of the Nine Seal Tablet, his perception was amplified.
After Li Erqing dies, he will enter reincarnation. The power of reincarnation between heaven and earth has inspired the Jiuyin Monument, so that this bond can be clearly felt.
If you are lucky enough to meet again in the next life.
Lu Changan used the Nine Seals Monument as a medium, and following this thread, he could confirm Li Erqing's reincarnation identity.
If there is excess reincarnation energy, it can even help solve the mystery of the fetus.
It's just that the world is so vast, even if the two parties are involved in cause and effect, the chance of meeting again in the next life is extremely slim.
Consciousness returns to reality.
Lu Changan discovered that Li Erqing's sexual aura was about to be completely swallowed by the whirlpool of gray and white.
"go!"
Lu Changan hastily pointed.
Hum!
The first life in the Nine Seal Tablet was instantly dimmed, and the second life was also dimmed by one-tenth.
A crystal white diamond ring imprint, smaller than a tadpole, flashed in the void, and landed on Li Erqing's spiritual light spot.
Hoo!
The next moment, Li Erqing's soul and sexual aura were completely engulfed by the gray whirlpool.
"Leave a reincarnation mark for meditation."
Since the fourth Nine Seal Monument was lit, the secrets and mysterious abilities within it were slowly revealed in front of Lu Changan.
For certain exploration inquiries, Jiuyinbei will give an abstract concept response.
Starting from the fourth generation, the Nine Seal Tablet has inspired the real energy of reincarnation by devouring Hundred Soul Gu and Yuanying-level souls.
It is this kind of reincarnation energy that allows Lu Changan to have three ways to independently start a new reincarnation,
The previous three lives are mainly special forms of soul power, which only contain weak power of reincarnation.
The "Reincarnation Mark" just now is a simple use of the power of reincarnation, which was cast in the previous two lifetimes that were consumed and lit by the Jiuyin Monument.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Changan follows the fetters of cause and effect, and can confirm his identity only after seeing Li Erqing's afterlife.
With the reincarnation mark, Lu Changan will be relatively close to the area where Li Erqing reincarnated in the future, so he can sense the approximate direction.
In the memory of the fourth Lu Changan's Zhenjun, he once studied the ancient books on reincarnation.
It is said that there are Taoist companions or disciples reincarnated who can protect themselves from ancient times, and they are looking for a good home.
If the aptitude is good in the next life, you can renew the fairy fate for him.
The Jiuyin Monument actually has such means, but it needs to consume a larger power of reincarnation.
Master Li Huo of the fourth generation, the heir of his Taoist couple, had left some regrets. Lihuo has explored the mystery of reincarnation, and only gained a little, but he didn't get what he wanted.
From this, Lu Changan speculated that at around the stage of transforming into a god, he might be able to see the secret of reincarnation for the first time.
Some top-level exercises related to reincarnation may have superficial secret methods.
The Jiuyin Monument is more like a Xuantian treasure that contains the law of reincarnation, allowing Lu Changan to break the mystery of the womb in the first three lives.
With enough reincarnation energy, you can control your own new reincarnation independently.
…
The howling and crying are getting closer and closer.
Lu Changan and Zhao's master and apprentice went together and came to Li Erqing's cave.
Li Erqing had just passed away, and his body was still warm, but not stiff.
Generally, the faces of the dead are hideous and ugly.
Li Erqing's face is generally quite peaceful, with his lips slightly opened and closed.
Lu Changan inspected the corpse, and if there was no problem, he left with Zhao's master and apprentice, letting the dead rest in peace.
In the next few days, Feiyue Lake held a funeral for Li Erqing's ancestor.
Except for the sad few descendants of the direct line, the overall atmosphere of Feiyue Lake is not much sad.
According to Li Erqing's last wish during his lifetime, his body should be buried in Mu's house in Feiyue Lake.
Mu Jiu'an obeyed his father's last wish.
In his youth, he grew up in Feiyue Lake and received education from the Mu family.
Even his surname is Mu, and his mother was buried in Mu's house.
It is a matter of course to bury parents together.
Li Congren wanted to move his grandfather's body to the ancestral hall of the Li family in Xuemei Mountain.
He is Li Erqing's most successful grandson.
Open up a cultivating family outside, establish their own family, and pass on the "Li family" blood of cultivating immortals.
"Grandpa Lu, Congren begs you to decide the matter of grandfather's burial."
Li Congren came to beg Lu Changan.
Mu Jiuan refused to agree to his request, and refused on the grounds of Li Erqing's last wish.
Lu Changan pondered for a moment.
Li Erqing joined Feiyue Lake as a son-in-law, and persisted until the last moment of his life, which can be described as the utmost benevolence.
On Lu Changan's 100th birthday, Li Erqing made a promise in person, and he did.
Actually, Lu Changan was only asking, and didn't ask him anything.
Li Erqing was afraid of being looked down upon by his elder brother, so he made a vow that even if he regretted it a little in the future, he would swallow it even if he broke his teeth.
If Li Erqing was buried in Feiyue Lake, then he would be considered a member of the Mu family, and he would always be labeled as a son-in-law, and his status would not sound good.
Does Li Erqing want to move to Xuemei Mountain and become the ancestor of the Li family's cultivating immortals with his favorite grandson?
The answer is obvious.
"Burn your grandfather's body into ashes and divide it into two parts. One part will be kept in Feiyue Lake, and the other part will be buried in Xuemei Mountain."
Lu Changan ordered.
In the world of cultivating immortals, burning the corpse to ashes can also prevent the corpse from turning into ashes.
Lu Changan didn't want to interfere in the family affairs of the Mu family and the Li family, but this time was an exception.
He believed that Li Erqing's Spirit in Heaven would be satisfied with such a result.
"Grandpa Xie Lu is in charge."
Li Congren's eyes were moist, he kowtowed a few times on his knees, and left in a hurry.
Not long after, the Mu Family of Feiyue Lake followed Lu Changan's advice and handed over half of the ashes to Li Congren.
Li Congren was a little surprised. Mu Jiuan and his wife were both alchemy cultivators, and they were also superior cultivators of Jinyangzong. They had a very tough attitude before.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Lu Changan's opinion, he agreed without saying a word.
Logically speaking, Mu Jiuan and his wife's status, and being Li Erqing's son and daughter-in-law, would not obey Lu Changan's words.
"Grandpa Lu is highly respected and famous all over the world. Perhaps, Uncle Jiu'an also respects him from the bottom of his heart, so he has no choice but to give in."
Li Congren didn't think much about it, and attributed it to Grandpa Lu's moral prestige.
…
During the funeral, there were many guests from all over Liang Guoxiu's world.
Lu Changan met Zhou Qingxuan, Qi Feng, the guardian of the mountain.
When Qi Feng came over, Lu Changan was not surprised. His bodyguard team had business dealings with Feiyuehu Mu's family.
Zhou Qingxuan, as the Supreme Elder of the Beast Master Zhou family, came quite strangely.
The Zhou family has a good relationship with the Li family of Xuemeishan, but the relationship with the Mu family of Feiyue Lake is average.
Normally speaking, it would be interesting enough to send a foundation-building period.
Zhou Qingxuan may have eaten more than one Tier 2 Zhuyan Pill.
Still the appearance of a bright and pure girl in a light yellow dress, with delicate snow skin, delicate and picturesque face, eyes like lacquer spots, and lips like cinnabar sand.
At first glance, he seems younger than Zhao Tan'er.
Facing Zhou Qingxuan's sneaky glances, Lu Changan remained unmoved, exchanged a few words of pleasantries, and then kept a distance from her.
"Hmph! Shameless old vixen."
Zhao Tan'er couldn't understand this girl's behavior of hooking up with Uncle Lu, so she sneered in a low voice.
Zhou Qingxuan's heart sank, she was not afraid of being ridiculed by the younger Zhendan female cultivator.
If an ordinary female cultivator dared to be so unreasonable, she would have already treated it as animal food and thrown it to feed monsters.
Her eyes were shining brightly, she giggled, and said via voice transmission:
"Huangmao girl, no matter how stubborn you are, this concubine will still sleep in your uncle's bed tonight."
"Why, jealous of my concubine being loved by Uncle Lu? Hee hee, I am not jealous, and I don't mind you joining together."
"You...shameless, obscene and shameless!"
Zhao Tan'er was ashamed and annoyed, her face was rosy, and she was about to drip.
"Hey, I have to go to your Uncle Lu's room tonight..."
Looking at Zhao Tan'er who was blushing in embarrassment, Zhou Qingxuan was in a happy mood and left as a winner.
Zhou Qingxuan is not an ordinary fake alchemy cultivator, who controls a third-order spirit beast, so there is no need to shy away from a real alchemy female cultivator.
Lu Changan has a strong spiritual sense, and he sees the secret rivalry between the two daughters.
Under Zhao Tan'er's aggrieved and dissatisfied eyes, Lu Changan immediately changed the subject:
"Qi Feng, come to Grandpa Lu."
In the crowd, a calm and experienced burly man in leather armor, suppressed his excitement, and came over respectfully.
"Qi Feng, meet Grandpa Lu"
Received a personal questioning by Master Changqing, the monks who were present from all over the place to express their condolences, looked at Qi Feng's forehead and their eyes changed.
Lu Changan, who owns a third-order mysterious turtle, is no longer an ordinary alchemy cultivator in Liang Guoxiu's world.
In the eyes of the outside world, his future achievement status may be comparable to that of Huanglong Zhenren back then.
Lu Changan chatted with Qi Feng for a while, and gave him advice.
…
That night.
Wearing a light yellow dress and delicate makeup, Zhou Qingxuan came to visit Lu Changan's guest room courtyard.
"Sexy vixen, don't enter Uncle Lu's room."
There was a crisp scolding sound.
The sun was shining, and a graceful, eighteen-year-old girl in a colorful dress stopped Zhou Qingxuan at the gate of the courtyard.
Under the moonlight, Zhao Tan'er has an ethereal temperament, pearly powder face, teeth like shellfish, and delicate eyes, like two night stars, making her face fresh and attractive.
"Hey, the little girl has learned how to dress up? Get out of the way, don't disturb this girl's meeting with Lu Lang."
Zhou Qingxuan had to admit that Zhao Tan'er, who dressed seriously, was younger and more beautiful than herself.
The youthful feeling of a playful girl, glowing from the inside out. I don't know how this woman takes care of herself, maybe her mentality is really young.
"Tan'er, don't mess around."
In the courtyard, Lu Changan's voice came, a little bit of blame.
Zhao Tan'er was stunned, under the emerald feather-like black eyebrows, those delicate eyes were rosy and misty, and the look of grievance disappeared in an instant.
During these years in Jinyun Valley, she has always regarded Uncle Lu as her master's confidant and Taoist companion.
Uncle Lu patiently practiced with her and pointed out the shortcomings. Occasionally, he would sell her fine talismans at a low price.
In order to make Uncle Lu happy, she danced on Yunlai Peak and turned into a butterfly. Master smiled and played the piano to accompany her, like a family of three.
In Zhao Tan'er's eyes, Uncle Lu and Shizun are not Taoist couples, but they are better than Taoist couples.
She had no father's love since she was a child, and she regarded Uncle Lu as half a master and half a bosom friend.
Zhou Qingxuan's appearance made her feel lost and disgusted, as if something important in her heart was taken away by someone.
In the guest room.
Lu Changan and Zhou Qingxuan did not have any intimate behavior.
After all, Li Erqing hadn't passed his seventh birthday yet, and during the funeral, Zhou Qingxuan also knew how to measure.
It was just a joke to make Zhao Taner angry before, and it was also because Zhao Taner mocked her first.
During this visit, Zhou Qingxuan had an important matter to discuss with Lu Changan.
At the beginning, Lu Changan was careless, but then his expression became serious, occasionally revealing his thoughts.
"...that mysterious senior beast master, the benefits promised are very attractive. Qingxuan is very tempted, but she doesn't dare to betray the Guardian League easily."
It turned out that there was a senior beast master from the Six Schools of Demonic Dao who secretly plotted against Zhou Qingxuan.
Zhou Qingxuan's heart was moved by the beast-monitoring methods shown by the other party, the promised benefits and promises.
After all, Lu Changan was the one who defeated Baisu Soul Gu, and his heel was mysterious. Zhou Qingxuan asked him for advice in private.
"Don't trust the promises of the Six Schools of Demonic Dao."
Lu Changan shook his head and said.
"The invasion of the demonic way is no different than the war of Jinyang's northward migration. It will give preferential treatment to the cultivators who voluntarily surrender. The methods of the demonic way are cruel. Even the cultivators who surrender will inevitably be trampled on, and even fall into the end of exterminating the sect..."
Because of Wujianmen's subordinates, Lu Chang'an is very familiar with the post-war methods of Mo Dao.
Most of the forces that took the initiative to surrender did not end well. Only a few with high utilization value can be spared and set an example to the outside world.
"Qingxuan didn't agree, nor did she refuse."
Zhou Qingxuan nodded.
In Liang State, the cultivating force that was contacted privately by Mo Dao Wu Jian Sect is definitely not a Beast Familiar Zhou family.
In a short period of time, the Beast King Valley can't reach Liang Guoxiu's Immortal Realm.
But the Demonic Dao is powerful after all, and the contacted forces dare not speak out, even if they don’t want to agree, they don’t want to offend the Demonic Dao to death.
"Contact your senior Beast Master, but he is a true alchemy monk who is good at capturing people's hearts?"
Lu Changan thought of something and asked
"Lu Lang, how do you know?"
Zhou Qingxuan said in surprise.
"I met that person, but I'm not sure it must be him."
Lu Changan had a candidate in mind.
Back then when he held the alchemy ceremony in Qingshawan, the Huanglang real person from the Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce came in person.
Afterwards, Xing Peng speculated that there was something wrong with this person. The psychic secrets he practiced were suspected to come from the Beast King Valley, one of the six sects of magic.
According to the clues, it is speculated that the Wanshou Chamber of Commerce should be a small branch that branched out from the "Beast King Valley" a long time ago.
"I heard that the Beastmaster Zhou family used to be a branch of the "Wan Beast Chamber of Commerce" many years ago."
Lu Changan asked again.
"Not exactly. The important line of my Zhou family ancestors once intermarried with a branch of the Wanshou Chamber of Commerce, and finally merged into a family."
After Zhou Qingxuan answered, he probably guessed who Lu Changan was talking about.
Knowing the identity of the instigator, how to deal with it, her thinking is clear.
"Thank you Lu Lang for your clarification, Qingxuan doesn't know how to repay?"
Zhou Qingxuan spoke softly with clear eyes.
"No need to reciprocate, let me take a look at the Gu worm restriction in your sea of consciousness..."
Lu Changan stretched out his palm and pressed it on top of her head.
…
Three days later.
The three of Lu Changan left Mu's house in Feiyue Lake in a big turtle.
Zhao Tan'er was sullen, pouted, and didn't want to talk to Lu Changan.
She rubbed the black turtle's head with her hands, as if she was decompressing in this way.
Xuan Shuigui is honest and honest, without any protest, and is happy with himself.
During this trip to and from Feiyue Lake, Lu Changan did not encounter any risks.
Feiyue Lake is considered to be within the sphere of influence of Jinyun Valley.
Moreover, Lu Changan did not place an order.
The three real people, together with the third-tier tortoise with rough skin and thick flesh, are enough to discourage most alchemy experts.
After returning to Jinyun Valley.
Lu Changan used the skills of a third-tier high-grade craftsman to strengthen the key parts of the two puppets.
For example, puppet minions, weapons, and armor are all key parts.
Refining these parts into a real magic weapon level, two third-order puppets were strengthened.
Although it costs a lot of money, a well-armed Tier 3 puppet, under the control of a puppet master, can truly rival monks of the same rank.
In addition, the refining of nail-headed arrows also requires the skill of a third-level refiner.
Lu Changan is not in a hurry, and cooperates with the golden core real fire to slowly refine and improve.
When encountering rare materials that fit well, add a little occasionally.
This kind of natal magic weapon that I have gradually cultivated by myself consumes less consciousness and mana.
If it is a normal high-grade magic weapon, it corresponds to the early stage of the Nascent Soul, and with Lu Changan's cultivation, it is difficult to control.
Even if he managed to exert a few blows, his consciousness and mana were basically exhausted, and he still couldn't exert his true power.
Fortunately, the nail-headed arrow is a small magic weapon, which consumes less mana than magic weapons of the same level, but requires more spiritual consciousness.
Lu Changan estimated that when the nail-headed arrow is upgraded to a top-rank magic weapon, its mana consumption will probably be equivalent to that of a middle-rank magic weapon.
…
Time flies, seven years have passed.
Yunlai Peak, inside the underground stone hall.
Lu Changan, who has reached the age of 203, has built a third-order bow and arrow puppet.
Arrow puppet is the type that Lu Changan is good at.
During the foundation building period, he imagined using a large number of high-quality bow and arrow puppets to shoot a volley against the imaginary enemy of Daoist Jiedan.
However, such an assumption did not come in handy.
With the bonus of the refiner's skills, the third-order puppets that Lu Changan is currently refining are of high quality, and they are considered high-quality goods when they are low-level third-order puppets.
If it weren't for material restrictions, Lu Changan was even going to attack the third-tier middle-grade puppet master.
Higher-level puppet inheritance, in the memory of the fourth generation, can refine puppets of quasi-fourth level at most.
It is difficult to find a few puppet inheritances close to the Nascent Soul level in the entire Liang Guoxiu world.
It saved Lu Changan energy and spirit stones.
Because of refining tools, refining puppets, and privately buying longevity pills, Lu Changan's spirit stones kept shrinking.
Fortunately, the two Zhendan elders who were killed in the Seven Nations League back then returned a lot of blood to Lu Changan.
Among them, the bronze mirror magic weapon in the middle stage of alchemy is a special magic weapon, and it has been added to Lu Changan's available magic treasure.
Some magic weapons of poor quality are not eligible to enter the magic treasure house. They must either be sold off or be refined into third-order material crystals.
Lu Changan's standpoint at that time was to stand on the side of Lihuo Palace and kill Jie Dan of the hostile force. There was no right or wrong. Just like the antagonistic relationship between the Six Schools of Demonic Dao and the Guardian Alliance, once you encounter it, either you die or I die, there is no good or evil.
Return to Yunlai Peak cave.
Lu Changan received the Zongmen war information letter from the rock rat.
In recent years, the territory of the Guardian League has been gradually eroded by the stability of Beastmaster Valley.
Chen Guoxiu's world is the worst, with less than a third of the territory left, and the gates of Tianluozong have all been breached.
Yan country is a little bit better, there is no big collapse, 40% of the territory is still there, and the fourth-order spiritual veins are not lost.
Fortunately, the Guardian League also has external assistance.
It comes from the immortal cultivating forces who were broken into the mountain gate by the six demon sects and lost their spiritual veins. Among them are many high-level monks, including the two or three Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
Chen Guo, as the front line on the west side, has a lot of support, but the background of the country is a bit weaker after all.
Moreover, Chen Guotian Luozong was rampant internally, complaining a lot, and it was very difficult to resist the invasion of the magic way.
The fighting spirit against the demonic way is the weakest among the major Nascent Soul sects, and the fastest to lose.
Lu Chang'an analyzed: "If Chen Guo is swallowed up, there are only two directions to retreat. One is the Feng country on the east side, and the other is Jing country on the north side."
"However, Blood Sword Valley doesn't want to see Tianluozong, and is unwilling to fight against the invasion of evil ways together with it. The only way out for Chen country is Jing country."
Lu Changan also didn't want to see Chen Guotian Luozong.
The grievances of being wanted by him and offering a reward are nothing.
The main reason is that they lost so quickly.
Lu Changan was worried that it would affect Liang Guoxiu's world.
Jing State is also a weak point. Once Chen State retreats here, the magic war will not be far away from Liang State.
Approximate geographic location of the Guardian League:
Centered on Fengguo.
Chen State is on the west side, Liang State is on the north side, Yan State is on the south side, and Heng State is on the easternmost side.
Jing State is located in the northwest of Feng State and on the west side of Liang State.
Feng Kingdom has the largest map section, and the three Nascent Soul forces are in charge, which is the most difficult bone for the Demon Dao.
But if they break through the state of Jing and approach the state of Liang, they will form a double-team situation against the state of Feng.
…
"I hope that the Defense League can survive for more than ten years."
Lu Changan is not demanding, at least wait for him to light up the fourth Nascent Soul True Monarch.
At that time, the self-protection ability will be greatly increased, and it can advance and retreat freely according to the current situation.
Calculated, after he formed the golden core, he practiced for about twenty-six years in the early stage of the core formation.
It is estimated that it will take one year to reach the peak of the early stage of alchemy, and it is now close to half of it.
Almost all bad news came from the war of magic.
In recent years, the good news worth mentioning is that the rock mouse has been promoted to the middle stage of the third rank.
Breakthrough of this kind of small realm, the movement is much smaller.
Three years ago, Lu Changan borrowed the secret territory of the Beast Familiar Zhou's family in the Black Mist Mountains to let the Rock Rat advance secretly.
Half-step golden elixir background, the rock mouse broke through the mid-term small realm relatively smoothly, with only a little resistance.
Zhou Qingxuan almost dropped his jaw in shock about the real state of the rock rat, and swore to keep it a secret.
She couldn't figure it out: the mutated rat demon caused by the problematic pill sold to Lu Changan back then turned into a terrifying monster in the middle of the third stage.
For this reason, Lu Changan owes Zhou Qingxuan a favor.
The good times don't last long.
Half a year after becoming a third-order bow and arrow puppet.
Lu Changan's horary calculation, the first time he sensed a sign of danger!
In a daily auspicious divination, the conclusion is that it is a minor omen.
Although not the most dangerous omen, it also portends risks.
Gou is also in danger at the mountain gate?
Lu Changan didn't know which link had a problem, so he immediately began to investigate and calculate.
