Chapter 287 The Peacock Maiden
Lu Changan came to the underground stone hall.
Take out a few ancient copper coins, and prepare to figure out the source of the crisis with all your strength.
Divination oddities can increase the accuracy of calculations.
According to records, the shell pieces of some hundreds or thousands of years old turtles can increase the ability of divination.
Even, it has the effect of shielding the secret.
At the same time, the Xuanshui turtle in the adjacent hall shivered uncontrollably, subconsciously retracting its head into the turtle shell.
"Beast King Valley?"
A moment later, Lu Changan, who finished the calculation, frowned slightly.
The result of divination is too general.
During the time when the Valley of the Beast King invaded the Guardian Alliance, most of the dangers of the monks were directly or indirectly related to the Valley of the Beast King.
The result of the hexagram image is vague and inaccurate.
It is often the things involved, or the realm of the monk, which obviously exceeds the skill level of the divination practitioner.
If your own safety is involved, you must find out the reason.
Small fierce hexagrams, although not particularly dangerous, the probability of life-threatening is less than 30%, and it is often about 10%.
But in Lu Changan's eyes, even if it is a one-thousandth life-threatening threat, it must be taken seriously.
Diary again.
Lu Changan performed "Zhou Tiantui Endorsement", at the expense of his life, to calculate a more accurate source.
Break life, you can forcibly calculate a higher level of fate.
Lu Changan has a long lifespan, and he doesn't care about losing one or two years of his life.
In the past seven years, he got another second-order high-quality longevity pill, which prolongs his life by nine years.
The total lifespan reaches 1134 years.
After spending about two years of lifespan, Lu Changan got a more precise clue to the hexagram:
"Mysterious water turtle?"
Lu Changan was taken aback for a moment, and fell into deep thought.
Beast King Valley, Xuan water turtle.
The results of the two hexagrams are enough to remind Lu Changan of many things.
"The Beastmaster Valley is the ancestor of the Beastmaster. The abnormal growth speed of the Xuanshui Turtle has formed a half-step golden pill. Perhaps, it has attracted the interest of the high-level monks in the Beastmaster Valley."
It is reasonable for a high-level beast master to be interested in the Xuanshui turtle.
Back when the Xuanshui turtle formed a pill, Lu Changan deliberately pressed his hand, just to reduce the risk, not wanting to cause trouble.
Big Turtle has the worst conditions for forming alchemy, and there are no decent alchemy spirits.
If it forms an immortal golden pill.
Not only the high-ranking beast masters of the Beast King Valley, but even the ruler of the Liang Kingdom, Jin Yangzong, would be tempted and cause trouble for Lu Changan.
"Check it out for me! It's a high-ranking monk from Beastmaster Valley who has taken a fancy to Xuanshuigui."
Lu Changan immediately contacted Xing Peng.
…
The next day, Lu Changan met Xing Peng.
"Old Xuan behind Lu has been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, and it is estimated that Lu is in crisis. In the Beast King Valley, there are high-level monks who are eyeing Lu and Xuanshuigui..."
"Under the authority, I don't know the reason for the time being."
When Xing Peng learned the reason, he was a little confused and had no clue.
He promised that he would try his best to help Lu Changan investigate.
The Master Xiang's authority is not enough. With the help of his cousin's connections, he has the opportunity to find out more confidential information.
Half a month later, Xing Peng hurriedly contacted Lu Changan to report the results of the investigation.
"Mr. Lu, you are on the special attention list of Beastmaster Valley."
Xing Peng's expression was serious, with surprise in his eyes.
"Special attention list?"
"This is the war invasion of the Valley of the Beastmasters, the target of Wujianmen's focus. The people on the list will be the focus of monitoring by the Holy Gate. When the Valley of the Beastmasters hits Liang Guo in the future, they will..."
Xing Peng felt a little guilty and didn't continue.
Lu Changan's heart shuddered, and he understood the final consequence.
Beast King Gu is eyeing Lu Changan, and when he reaches Liang State, he will be targeted, and he wants to capture and kill him.
Before that, let Infernal Gate focus on monitoring and not let him run away early.
"Who is behind it, have you found it?"
Lu Changan said in a deep voice.
"At present, there are already clues, and the small one is investigating. Because I am worried about alarming the Lord, I am cautious and cautious, and the investigation is relatively slow."
Xing Peng dare not take it lightly when it comes to the high-ranking beast master in Beast King Valley.
If the Holy Gate knows that he has become Lu Changan's henchman and betrayed the information of the Holy Gate, Xing Peng will end badly.
"Okay, check it out slowly, don't disturb the Beastmaster Valley."
In the short term, Lu Changan doesn't have to worry about his own danger.
Beast King Valley needs to reach Liang Guoxiu's realm to pose a threat to Lu Changan.
Lu Changan's original plan was that as long as he didn't go to the battlefield and the magic way didn't reach the territory of Liang country, he would stay in Jinyun Valley to practice hard and dormant to improve his strength.
If it weren't for divination, Lu Changan might still be kept in the dark at this moment.
Beastmaster Valley's special attention list, with Xing Peng's authority, cannot be seen under normal circumstances.
If you don't know this news, you will definitely not run smoothly in the future, and you will probably face the threat of Beastmaster Valley.
Lu Changan was fortunate to transform the memory of Yuanying Zhenjun, which greatly increased his fault tolerance rate.
A mere third-level divination, allowing Lu Changan to plan ahead and identify potential threats.
"Spend some time in the future and participate in the art of divination."
Lu Changan made up his mind.
Nowadays, he has a lot of skills, even if he has a lot of spare time, his energy is limited after all.
must have a priority.
The priority of divination must be at the top.
Such as alchemy and weapon refining, these can be placed in the back row to make trade-offs.
If you can't find the treasure talisman inheritance in the future, or even the talisman, you can lower the priority.
…
half year later.
Xing Peng carefully investigated, and the truth finally came to light.
"Mr. Lu, the 'Peacock Saintess' of Beast King Valley has taken a fancy to your mysterious water turtle and the way of breeding it. I'm afraid this matter may be troublesome."
Xing Peng took a deep breath, with fear in his eyes.
"The Peacock Maiden?"
Lu Changan took the jade slip from Xing Peng and checked the detailed information.
Soon, Lu Changan's face darkened, looking ugly.
The Peacock Saintess, Daoist Peacock Daoist, overhauled in the later stage of Jindan.
This woman is the Nascent Soul Seed of the Beast King Valley, ranking in the top three in the inheritance sequence.
The Peacock Saintess has two third-order spirit beasts, one of which is a five-color peacock with the blood of Tianpin.
The reason why the Taoist name is Peacock.
One is the peacock spirit bird with the blood of Tianpin.
Secondly, she is very beautiful, compared to the beauty of a peacock, and her beauty is famous among the six holy gates.
And she comes from a good background, she is the granddaughter of Zhenjun Yuanying. It can be described as the proud daughter of heaven, with a noble blood like a peacock.
"The peacock saint also has a black water turtle? Is it male or female?"
Lu Changan asked with a gloomy face.
"It's female."
Xing Peng replied in a low voice: "The mysterious water turtle of the Peacock Saintess has spent more than two hundred years investing a lot of heaven and earth spiritual objects, and only entered the second-order late stage a few years ago."
Lu Changan's Xuanshui turtle is male.
"For more than two hundred years, in the late stage of the second order, the growth rate has surpassed that of ordinary black water turtles. However, it is a bit slower than big turtles."
Lu Changan's eyes flickered, and with the vision of Yuanying Zhenjun, he understood why the peacock saint was interested in his own mysterious water turtle and the method of cultivation.
Xuan water turtle normally grows slowly, if it backfires, the foundation foundation is weak, and the quality of the alchemy will shrink significantly in the future.
It is difficult to have both speed and quality.
Unless you invest in rare heaven and earth spirits in the world.
Lu Changan's Xuanshui turtle not only grows fast, but also has a good quality of alchemy, without any shrinkage.
The Peacock Saintess, as an expert in beast control, happened to have a black water turtle. Compared with the two, it was inevitable that she became interested.
She only needed one word to put Lu Changan on the special attention list of Beast King Valley.
"Lu is behind the battlefield, and his reputation is limited to Liang Guoxiu Immortal Realm. How can the peacock saintess of Beast King Valley pay attention to Lu's spiritual pet?"
"But the information provided by your Wujianmen?"
Lu Changan was a little puzzled. A big man like the Peacock Maiden would not pay attention to him for no reason.
Being targeted by this peacock saint, Lu Changan also felt a lot of pressure.
I can't beat the fight, and I can't fight the background.
The Peacock Saintess is also a golden core, and her later stage cultivation is far better than that of Lu Changan.
The quality of spiritual pets is also inferior.
Even if it is a spirit beast of the same bloodline, under the training of an expert in beast control like the Peacock Maiden, its strength is better than Lu Changan's spirit pet.
In the overhaul of the later period of alchemy, the strength of the peacock saint is also top-notch.
In the Guardian League, it is estimated that only Liang Shaotian, who is a fellow practitioner, is barely qualified to have a touch.
…
"The information about Wujianmen will only be reported to the higher-ups level by level, and will not contact monks from other holy sects in private, otherwise it will be a violation of the sect's rules."
"Regarding this matter, I found clues during the next investigation. The person who reported Mr. Lu's situation to the Peacock Maiden may be the real Huanglang of the Wanshou Chamber of Commerce."
Xing Peng said in a respectful tone, analyzing.
"The real yellow wolf!"
Lu Changan's eyes flashed sharply.
Most likely this profiteer.
Huanglang Zhenren is good at speculating and capturing people's hearts.
Back then, Fu Xuemei, who had traded with him, disappeared later.
Xing Peng once speculated: Many years ago, the Wanshou Chamber of Commerce may be a small branch that individual monks from the Beast King Valley broke away from.
This kind of inside story, in several countries of the Guardian League, almost no one knows.
It's not difficult for Lu Changan to imagine that the real Huanglang sold his information to the Peacock Saintess in order to surrender, to curry favor with that honorable Saintess, and to find a backer in the Beast King Valley.
Real Yellow Wolf took it easy and got benefits.
Doing this will bring trouble and hidden dangers to Lu Changan.
The hexagram image of the little fierce came from this.
Real Yellow Wolf!
Lu Changan kept this profiteer in his heart.
This person's cultivation in the early stage of Zhendan actually plots against him behind his back?
This harmful profiteer must find an opportunity to take revenge.
If Lu Changan was not proficient in divination, Lu Changan might capsize in the gutter.
"Mr. Lu, I have a proposal regarding this matter."
Xing Peng hesitated to speak.
"explain."
Lu Changan glanced at him unexpectedly.
"The Peacock Saintess is a proud person, and she has a reputation in the Holy Gate. If Mr. Lu handed over the cultivation secret method, the Saintess will be rewarded. When the Beast King Valley is brought to the Liang Guoxiu Immortal Realm in the future, there will be a Peacock Saintess to take care of it, and she will receive preferential treatment."
Xing Peng bowed and said cautiously.
He knew that these words might make Lu Changan unhappy.
But the six sects of magic will sooner or later wipe out the Guardian Alliance.
Lu Changan was targeted by the Peacock Saintess again, this is the easiest way to save the day.
"You mean, let me hug the peacock saint's thigh just like the real Huanglang?"
Lu Changan looked at him coldly.
"This... villain doesn't mean that."
Xing Peng wiped his cold sweat.
Lu Changan secretly slandered, do you think I don't want to hug my thigh?
But the situation does not allow.
Xing Peng's proposal is indeed a very good one.
Not only to defuse the threat, but also to find the backstage in the six schools of magic.
However, the secret of cultivating the Xuan Shui Turtle involves Evergreen Kung Fu and Xuan Tian Gourd Vine.
Lu Changan had no choice.
Can only stand on the opposite side of the Peacock Saintess and Beastmaster Valley.
All disputes in the world of cultivating immortals are essentially for profit, and have nothing to do with right or wrong.
…
Know the source of the crisis.
Lu Changan began to prepare two plans.
The first one is naturally the running plan.
This is a plan that has been in preparation for a long time, and now requires a greater amount of advance to deal with various threat variables.
In the plan, waiting for the fourth generation of the Nine Seal Tablet to be lit, this point remains unchanged. Unless the magic way breaks into the territory of Liang country.
Never underestimate Daqing's top demon sect.
Lu Chang'an can make divination calculations, and there must be more powerful divination masters in the Holy Gate.
Although Xuantian Gourd Vine has the characteristic of shielding the secrets of heaven, it is mainly limited to itself, so as to avoid being inferred to the position by the powerful.
Xuantian Huteng has nothing to do with the cause and effect of Lu Changan's own grievances.
Even the Xuantian Gourd Vine, which has the property of shielding the calculation of heavenly secrets, is not completely invincible.
If it is a top monk, such as Hedao, Mahayana-level calculations, supplemented by divination and strange things, it may not be impossible to deduce clues.
The second plan is revenge against Huang Lang.
An early stage of a real pill, it seems simple, give it to the rock mouse in the middle stage of the third level to open the meat, and solve it easily
"Realist Yellow Wolf reported my information to the Peacock Maiden. If this person dies inexplicably, it may alarm the Peacock Maiden and cause associations."
Lu Changan rejected the simple and brutal plan of killing people.
At this time, although the Peacock Saintess paid attention to him, she didn't pay special attention to him, and regarded him as a difficult person.
Lu Changan can't encourage himself to be valued by the Peacock Maiden.
In this way, there are only two safe revenge plans:
One, find a murderer who is responsible.
Secondly, when running away in the future, kill the real Huanglang by the way.
However, Lu Changan finally chose another idea:
Report this profiteer!
Let the identity of real Huanglang's inner ghost be exposed, and the Guardian League will naturally eradicate this cancer.
Before, the real Huanglang went to the Beastmaster Zhou's house to instigate rebellion, which means that he has taken refuge in Beastmaster Valley.
There must be more than one similar action target, leaving some clues.
The Wanshou Chamber of Commerce has more than one or two enemies in Jing Country, and the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce is just one of them.
It is normal for the real Huanglang to make a mistake in any link, leave a flaw, and expose the identity of the inner ghost.
After confirming the report plan, Lu Changan did not act immediately.
Take a two-year reprieve first to reduce his suspicion, and let Xing Peng secretly collect evidence and intelligence about the real Huanglang.
…
Two years later.
Lu Changan is over 206 years old, and nearly thirty years have passed since he formed the golden core.
On this day, the underground stone hall.
Googoo!
Lu Changan was soaked in the hot black medicine pool, the muscles all over his body swelled, showing a dark copper color, and pieces of polished golden discs emerged on the body surface, exuding terrifying power of physical energy and blood.
"The "Golden Luo Hegemony" is transferred to the third level, and the consumption of precious materials and elixir is too high, which is twice as much as that of "Hundred Forging King Kong"."
Lu Changan's body quickly absorbed the medicine in the pool fluid, and he couldn't help but feel a little pain in his flesh.
Assaulting third-tier middle-grade puppets and switching to more advanced body training formulas are bottomless pits that consume spirit stone materials.
"Golden Luo Hegemony" is the best body training method for non-pure body cultivation in the memory of the fourth world.
This body training method is more than 20% stronger than "Hundred Refinement King Kong", and it also has an additional characteristic.
Strong resistance to negative spells, including some curses.
For example, sonic spells can make people dizzy; some freezing range spells can greatly reduce the monk's movement speed.
Golden Luo Ba Body can largely resist this negative effect.
Negative effects lower than Tier 3 are basically exempt.
The disadvantage is that the scarce materials consumed are twice as much as that of the Hundred Forging King Kong.
Even so, Lu Changan felt that it was worth the money.
Anything, to reach the peak of excellence, every time you improve by one point, the price you need to spend is not linear.
The characteristics of Jin Luo Ba's body strengthen the ability of self-protection.
"The time is ripe. We have collected some information about the real Huanglang and the Wanshou Chamber of Commerce."
Lu Changan got up from the medicine pool, dried his body, and changed his clothes.
With a thought, the shadow of the soul of the second alchemy peak of the Nine Seal Monument descended.
The phantom of the purple-robed true monarch of the fourth generation has already lit up more than half of it.
Put on the Hundred Illusions Mask, and Lu Changan's simulated cultivation level has reached the late stage of alchemy.
…
Followed by two months.
Lu Changan simulated the overhaul in the late stage of alchemy, and first went to the northern part of Feng Kingdom.
At the branch of the Fengguo Guardian Alliance, Lu Changan, in the identity of a mysterious late-stage overhaul of alchemy, left an anonymous report letter to the real person in charge of the station.
Afterwards, he went to the border of Jing country again, and left the same letter to Liang Shaotian's fake alchemy disciple, Miss Wei, in Fang City of Xiancheng under the jurisdiction of the Demon Cult.
Lu Changan confirmed from Xing Peng that the Xuanyin Sect was not successfully instigated by the Wujianmen, but instead actively participated in the fight against the Demonic Dao.
Therefore, he also left a report letter to Xuanyin Sect.
The Guardian League, after all, is a coalition assembled by various countries, and its efficiency is relatively low.
Xuanyin Sect is located in Jing State, with strong influence and high execution efficiency.
Whether it is the head teacher Liang Shaotian or his disciple Li Hai, it is relatively easy to kill the real Huanglang.
After reporting the real Huanglang, Lu Changan returned to Jinyun Valley and waited and watched.
Even if this matter fails, Lu Changan has nothing to lose.
Successful, borrowed a knife to kill people, and eradicated Huanglang Zhenren.
The person who left the report letter was a major repairer in the late stage of alchemy, and it had nothing to do with Lu.
Lu Changan has gone through several generations and has rich experience, so he knows that the identity of the whistleblower must be kept secret!
Otherwise, the informant in the morning may know the identity of the whistleblower before evening.
Lu Changan never expected that his simple killing with a knife would change the pattern of the invasion war of the Demonic Dao.
After a few months.
The battle report came from the front line.
Chen Guo and Jing Guo, at the same time, several cultivating forces turned their backs and stabbed the Guardian League.
Chen Guo's situation is even more serious.
The leader is the overhaul in the late stage of alchemy, and there is more than one.
Two cultivating sects and more than a dozen cultivating families rebelled at the same time. Cooperating with the invading forces of the evil way, almost the entire Chen country fell!
Chen Guotian Luozong suffered a lot of losses, so according to the original plan, he withdrew to Jing Guo's world of cultivating immortals.
There are also cultivating forces in Jingguo who have rebelled.
The Beast Chamber of Commerce is one of them.
However, Jing Guo responded faster.
Especially the Xuanyin Sect, which wiped out the Wanshou Chamber of Commerce in the first place.
The high-level real people of the Wanshou Chamber of Commerce, most of them died, and some were captured.
All the spirit beasts of Daoist Huanglang died in battle, were seriously injured, and lost an arm.
Finally, this person managed to break out of the encirclement by virtue of secret techniques and the third-rank top-grade escape talisman, and is now being hunted down.
"Hmph, planning against Lu? I'll also let you taste what it's like to lose your family and die."
Even though the real Huanglang was not killed, Lu Changan felt bad.
According to the information from Xing Peng, real Huanglang lost half of his life, because his identity was exposed too early, which led to the early launch of the Wujianmen plan, which failed to achieve the expected effect.
Because Huanglang Zhenren has a wide network of contacts and is extremely active, there are many forces involved in instigating rebellion, forcing Wujianmen to act in advance.
Even if he fled to the territory of the Demon Dao, Daoist Yellow Wolf would still be a sinner, and he would not end well.
"It seems that the inside of the Guardian League has also been infiltrated by Wujianmen."
Lu Changan drew a conclusion from the simultaneous outbreak of rebellion in Chen State and Jing State,
The report letter he sent to the Guardian League was probably discovered by the ghost of Wujianmen before the high-level discussion and investigation were ready to take action.
It was Chen Guo who disappointed the countries the most.
Tian Luozong, Chen Guoxie family, in the world of cultivating immortals in their own country, they have been infiltrated too much by the forces of magic.
The efficiency of quelling civil strife is far inferior to that of the weaker state of Jing.
Now, Chen Guo has fallen.
Tianluo Sect took Chen Guoxiu's remnants of the Immortal Realm and retreated to Jing Country to fight against the demon tide together with the three major sects of Xuanyin Sect, Shangmeng, and Jing Country.
"Chen Guo, you are too incompetent."
Lu Changan was disappointed again.
Chen Guotian Luo Zong and Xie family are rampant at home, attacking with heavy fists, even worse than the weaker Jing State in foreign wars.
As a result of the fall of Chen Country, Jing Country, a small and medium-sized cultivator country, became the front line against the evil way.
West side of Liang State, adjacent to Jing State.
Golden Cloud Valley is just in the west of Liang Guoxiu's world.
Lu Changan realized that the monstrous waves of the demonic invasion were no longer far away from the Golden Cloud Valley of the Kingdom of Liang.
