Chapter 320: Being conservative
"Jiang Daoyou is regarded as the number one casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom. How can Lu Hede compete with him? He has never thought about competing for the title of number one."
Lu Changan humbly refused, thinking to himself: What the **** is "Evergreen Legend" that actually promotes himself so much?
“Master Changqing, you don’t have to be too modest! Jiang knows a little bit about your strength.”
Jiang Yechen's eyes were as cold as stars. Apart from being warlike, he was also somewhat curious about Lu Changan's true background.
More than fifty years ago, when Lu Changan left the Liang Kingdom, he was an early stage cultivator of the True Pill, and possessed the earth-grade bloodline spirit beast Xuan Shui Turtle that had condensed the Half-Step Golden Pill.
Some people once said that Lu Changan is expected to become the second Huanglong master in the future.
Now, Lu Changan, who has returned, has reached the middle stage of alchemy cultivation, and he does have a chance to compete for the number one casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom.
The description in "Evergreen Legend" is not an exaggeration.
“It’s just a friendly discussion, no life will be harmed. If Mr. Lu doesn’t even dare to respond to this, please leave Jiang’s Wuye Town with the name ‘Lu Wugui’!”
Jiang Yechen's tone was sharp and his words were stimulating.
Lu Changan glanced at Shi Manrong.
Shi Xianzi did not try to persuade her. She turned her clear eyes slightly and secretly looked at the woman in the green skirt outside the cave.
She has a short lifespan, and given the current situation, she is not in a good mood. Maybe she doesn't mind that Lu Changan is a little deflated.
"As the host, Daoyou Jiang has a strong request, so Lu can only show his shame."
Lu Changan sighed and had no choice but to accept it.
Wuye Town is Jiang Yechen's territory. Logically speaking, the other party can directly expel him.
“Manrong, please consolidate the formation.”
Jiang Yechen smiled and his voice was a little gentle.
Shi Manrong beckoned for a formation order and flew to a fighting platform on the top of the mountain.
Buzz!
The fighting stage was shrouded in the light of the third-order formation. It looked only a few dozen feet from the outside, but there was a space of two or three miles in radius inside.
“Friends Lu Dao, you can rest assured that the details of the battle between you and me will not be announced to the public.”
Jiang Yechen knew that Lu Changan kept a low profile and hid some tricks from the outside, so he took the initiative to promise.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang is interested.”
Lu Changan nodded and followed into the inner space of the fighting platform.
Shi Xianzi consolidated the formation outside to prevent outsiders from watching the battle.
The female cultivator in a green skirt on the other side is sitting in the pavilion, her lip line under the veil is slightly pursed, and she is not worried at all.
“Whether it’s a battle between monks or a spiritual pet, Jiang can accompany you.”
Jiang Yechen's tone was proud and confident, and he reached out and patted the spiritual pet bag on his waist.
Spiritual flames howled, accompanied by a snoring sound.
A flaming horned horse with four hooves stepping on flames, three to four feet long, with a long swaying tail, appeared in the air beside Jiang Yechen.
“The third-level early stage spiritual beast, the Flame-Stepping Horse!”
Lu Changan recognized the origin of the flaming horse. It was the top mount spirit beast in the high-grade bloodline.
Fast speed, good at flame spells, and good at attacking.
The growth rate is also far higher than that of the Black Water Turtle.
If they are all healthy eggs or young, the value of the Flame Stepping Horse is even higher than that of the Black Water Turtle.
“Lu’s magic power is mediocre, so he has to rely on his spiritual pets.”
Lu Changan smiled and chose the latter method of fighting.
"good!"
Jiang Yechen had expected this.
Xuanshui Turtle is good at defense, and Lu Changan is a third-level talisman master. Together, the two are really no match for the ordinary mid-stage pill formation.
In the fighting space, the two of them were separated by hundreds of feet.
Hush!
Lu Changan slapped the spiritual pet bag, and suddenly a storm of yellow sand and dust enveloped the huge fighting stage.
“Mid-level third-order spiritual beast!”
Jiang Yechen's expression changed, and the protective shield was rubbed by the high-speed rotating yellow sand, causing a harsh scream.
The majestic wind of yellow sand, accompanied by the terrifying demonic spiritual pressure, turned the fighting space into a desert area in the blink of an eye.
The flame riding horse screamed in panic and was bound by the whirlpool of yellow sand. The spiritual flames all over its body flickered and flickered. The speed advantage it was good at was useless.
Jiang Yechen's protective shield is also a bit bleak, partially contaminated by yellow sand, giving it an earthy color.
"interesting!"
Jiang Yechen took his time and made a secret with both hands. The night blue elixir power erupted like smoke from the center, covering the sky of the entire fighting space.
In an instant, huge star clusters of light appeared in the black and blue sky, filled with frost, brewing forbidden mana fluctuations.
Phew! Boom boom!
Those icy star clusters of light, bursting with cold light and frost, smashed through the thick sand and dust, and fell towards the area where Lu Changan was.
Not only relieves the pressure on the flame riding horse, but also turns defense into offense.
This is not over yet. Behind Jiang Yechen, a gold and silver crown magic weapon appeared on the top of his head, like a master in the night.
“Lu Changan, let Jiang show your true strength!”
Jiang Yechen's clothes were flying, his divine light was like lightning, and his consciousness and mana suddenly increased by several percent, crushing the average mid-stage pill formation.
Buzz!
The crown magic weapon stirred up ripples of light that outlined gold and silver patterns, swept away the yellow sand and dust storm, and contained magical power that shocked the heart and soul, and rushed in front of Lu Changan.
“This son’s magic power is not inferior to that of Huanglong Zhenren back then, and his spiritual pet is slightly inferior, but the origin of the magic weapon in his hand is not simple, and it is more powerful.”
At the middle stage of Jindan, Lu Changan felt a slight pressure.
Poof!
A huge rat demon with a length of three feet and strong muscles stood in front of Lu Changan.
The rat demon has orange-yellow hair all over its body, with a bunch of purple hair standing up on its head. Its streamlined body looks like a giant leopard.
A layer of crystal yellow rock armor covered the body of the rock rat. It stood there and took the blow from Jiang Yechen's crown magic weapon, ignoring the power that shocked the soul.
Bang! Chichi~
In the harsh friction sound.
The corrugated halo of gold and silver scraped off pieces of stone chips on the surface of the rock rat's body. The latter remained unmoving and protected its owner without any harm.
Phew!
The Earth Rock Rat opened its mouth and spat out a ball of demonic fire with a dark yellow halo. It rose up in the wind and made a huge roar, colliding with the crown magic weapon.
The light boundary on the outer wall of the fighting space trembled brightly and darkly, almost breaking in part.
“This Earth Rock Rat with mutated bloodline is actually so powerful, at least comparable to Earth-grade bloodline…”
Jiang Yechen groaned, his magic energy and blood floating in his body.
The aura of the crown magic weapon above his head was dim, entangled with a strange sinister aura, and the material of the magic weapon was slightly eroded.
If it continues, the quality of the magic weapon may decline.
The Flame Stepping Horse on the other side let out a mournful cry, and was affected by the dark yellow evil flames that exploded, leaving a black and corroded hole in its chest.
Jiang Yechen felt a chill in his heart. The two spiritual pets were not of the same level at all. If they met head-on, the Flame Stepping Horse would be unable to withstand them.
At this time, the rock rat cast another round of spells, which was completed at an astonishing speed.
The ground is coated with a layer of earthy yellow texture, like strange tentacles, and at the same time, crystal yellow stone pillars protrude from the ground and pierce into the air.
Jiang Yechen instinctively dodged, but his feet were as heavy as mercury, and there was a huge pulling force on the ground.
With the help of the crown magic weapon, he had powerful magic power and forcibly broke away from the power of the earth.
The injured Flame Stepping Horse was unable to break free from the Earth-bound magical power, and was firmly trapped on the ground by several thick stone pillars.
Hiss!
The Flame Stepping Horse was squeezed between the cracks of the stone pillars, unable to move and howling in pain.
Jiang Yechen was anxious and prepared to rescue.
Whoosh!
The rock rat in front blurred and suddenly disappeared.
The gloomy strong wind struck from the side.
Click!
Jiang Yechen's protective shield shattered with a sound, and was torn apart by the claws of the nearby rock rat.
“This mutated rat demon is so fast!”
Jiang Yechen's heart was beating wildly, and he held out a long flag in his hand, blowing up a dazzling blue wind.
There was a "bang" sound, and the rock rat that was approaching bounced away.
next moment.
Jiang Yechen's figure swayed and turned into several purple-robed phantoms, and the light mist dispersed.
His real body escaped into the night and lost its trace.
This is Jiang Yechen's unique physical and magical power. After the overhaul in the later stage of pill formation, it is enough to ride in the world of Liang Kingdom's immortals.
Lu Changan thought to himself: No wonder this person can become the number one casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom. His spiritual awareness, magic power, and magical power are all superior to most cultivators of the same level.
Unfortunately, his opponent is a ground rock rat.
Zhizhi!
An earthy yellow halo emerged, and the Earth Rock Rat came over the trapped Flame Stepping Horse and intercepted Jiang Yechen who wanted to rescue his spiritual pet.
The rock rat approached again, its thick claws were as sharp as metal, forcing Jiang Yechen to use his magic weapon to protect himself and fight back.
In other words, Jiang Yechen is good at physical and magical powers. Otherwise, it would be a very dangerous situation for a magician of the same level to be approached by a monster.
“This rat demon’s mana and consciousness are no less than the peak of the middle stage of pill formation, and he is experienced in fighting and has practiced a variety of powerful spells and combat techniques.”
Jiang Yechen felt sweaty and stressed when dealing with the pursuit and killing of rock rats.
From the corner of his eye, he looked at the man in white behind him, but he never made a move.
Jiang Yechen actually had a backup plan to counter Lu Changan's intervention.
Lu Changan's strength relies on spiritual beasts and foreign objects. As long as he is captured, he is expected to reverse the situation and win the battle.
This is the experience of dealing with the beast masters in the Valley of the Beast King on the magic battlefield.
…
Outside the formation space, Fairy Master’s eyes were filled with surprise, which was unexpected.
She had thought that Lu Changan's true strength might exceed expectations.
She had seen Lu Changan’s fighting methods in the ancient ruins in her early years.
But I didn’t expect that Lu Changan could suppress Jiang Yechen and the Flame Stepping Horse with just one spiritual pet without taking action.
It is unimaginable that the Earthly Rock Rat who worked diligently at Xiaogui Peak had at least the terrifying strength to match the number one casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom.
In the world of immortality in the Liang Kingdom, the world knew that Changqing Zhenren had a black water turtle, so he was nicknamed Turtle Talisman Master, Turtle Zhenren, etc.
Who would have thought that the most powerful spiritual pet of Master Chang Qing is not the Xuan Shui Turtle, but the silent rat demon!
“Master Lu, why don’t you take action?”
Within the formation space, Jiang Yechen used all his magical powers and used various methods, but he was unable to do anything to the Earth Rock Rat. At most, he could only come and go.
In this situation, Jiang Yechen had no chance.
“Lu’s hidden injury has not healed yet, so he should not use his magic power rashly.”
Lu Changan, dressed in white, stood with his hands behind his back, looking calm and calm, and never made a move.
At the same level, if he wants to suppress the number one casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom, he will expose the power of the golden elixir.
The Rock Rat suppresses his cultivation to the middle stage of the third level, which is enough to deal with it. It has the realm of alchemy major repair. Even if it restricts the mana, it can make Jiang Yechen restricted everywhere, making it extremely uncomfortable.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, the time for a hundred breaths has come. Since the winner has not yet been determined, it is better to give up the fight in a draw.”
Lu Changan recalled the Earth Rock Rat with a smile and ended the fight.
Jiang Yechen's hair was messy, his breath was disordered, and his face turned ugly when he heard the words.
He was unhappy and could not accept the cruel reality for a while.
By not taking action, Lu Changan was leaving a small portion for himself.
As a third-level talisman master in the middle stage of pill formation, if he joins forces with the Earth Rock Rat, he can defeat himself within a hundred breaths.
Being able to control and tame such a third-level monster, Lu Changan's true strength and methods are probably even more unfathomable!
After a moment of silence, Jiang Yechen's mouth turned bitter, and his voice was rough and hoarse:
“Fellow Daoist Lu, Jiang has lost this battle and has nothing to say. From now on, the title of No. 1 casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom must belong to you.”
"Haha, Lu has already moved to Fengyuan Kingdom and has not settled in Liang Kingdom. It does not match the title. Jiang Daoyou's strength is comparable to that of Huanglong Zhenren at his peak. He is well-deserved for the title of No. 1 casual cultivator in Liang Kingdom. .”
Lu Changan smiled and held his hands in an accommodating gesture.
There is no grudge or conflict of interest between him and Jiang Yechen. A small shock is enough, there is no need to go to war or use words to humiliate them.
Many times, the overwhelming karma and hatred may be an inadvertent humiliation blow, which inspires the fighting spirit and potential of the child of luck.
Save a small amount of money. The contacts of the Liang Kingdom's number one casual cultivator may be used by Lu Changan in the future.
“Fellow Daoist Lu is indifferent to fame and wealth, and he is upright and upright! "The Evergreen Legend" and "The Travels of the Black Turtle" sincerely do not deceive me."
Jiang Yechen held up his hand and bowed solemnly, which was regarded as accepting Lu Changan's kindness.
Looking at the quiet and indifferent man in white, he could not help but feel a sense of admiration while feeling fearful in his heart.
Lu Changan's strength clearly overwhelmed him, but he was neither arrogant nor impetuous, giving him a step down.
No wonder, this person is able to get along well in all countries in the world of immortality. He has a wide network of contacts and is almost invisible to his enemies.
The description in "Evergreen Legend" is really too conservative!
What does it mean to have the opportunity to compete for the throne of the first casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom? They have already surpassed him.
In the formation space, the two exchanged a few words.
“We are going to fight today, and I hope fellow Daoist Jiang will keep it a secret.”
Lu Changan ordered.
In fact, the strength revealed today is just the tip of his iceberg.
Even if the strength of the Earth Rock Rat is revealed, it is not a big deal. At most, the flaws of "Xiang Zhenren" who used to be in Jing Kingdom will be exposed.
At that time, Master Han Yu, according to the calculation of longevity, had already passed away.
In her heart, it is enough to have the figure of the old man in coir raincoat.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, please be at ease. During today’s battle, Jiang swore an oath from his inner demons and would not disclose anything to the outside world.”
Jiang Yechen took the initiative to take an oath to avoid the news leaking in the future, and he would take the blame and suffer unreasonable disasters.
He is no better than Lu Changan, who is alone in his family.
Now that he has established his power, he must not offend this unfathomable Evergreen True Man.
…
The two chatted for a while. When they walked out of the fighting stage, they found that Fairy Shi and the woman in the green skirt in the pavilion also chatted for a while.
I don’t know what the conversation was about, but I saw the woman in the green skirt taking off the veil and putting it back on.
Jiang Yechen took a startling glance and caught the unrivaled elegance and elegance. The unparalleled beauty with the eyebrows and the beautiful face was something he had rarely seen in his life.
That female cultivator in a green skirt is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has a variety of manners and temperament, which can be as cold as a fairy, but also gentle and gentle, encompassing everything, including the part of a master fairy.
“The indigenous tribe of Feng Yuan Kingdom… actually has such stunning fairies?”
Jiang Yechen couldn't help but be startled.
Didn’t he say that the indigenous women of Feng Yuan Kingdom were all dark-skinned, big, and rough?
It seems that the rumor is wrong.
Jiang Yechen's impression of Feng Yuan Kingdom has changed, and he decided to travel there when he has time in the future.
When Lu Changan and the two walked over, the woman in the green skirt put on her veil and returned to her ordinary appearance.
Jiang Yechen suddenly realized that he could not tell the specific cultivation level of this woman. He could only roughly judge that she was a real person who formed the pill.
He felt a shiver in his heart. His spiritual consciousness was already outstanding among his peers. He was able to hide his true cultivation level from him. He was either undergoing a major repair in the late stage of pill formation or borrowing rare rare items.
Jiang Yechen and Fairy Niyue are not of the same generation. They are monks of the same generation. They have never met each other, and they can't figure out each other's identity in a short time.
Shi Xianzi's surprised face quickly regained its composure.
Just now, she insisted on seeing the face of the woman in the green skirt.
The woman in the green skirt didn't agree at first, her eyes showing her unbearability.
After repeated requests, the woman in the green skirt agreed to lift her veil.
Shi Xianzi originally thought that even if Lu Changan's new lover was younger and more beautiful than herself, she would not have the temperament and charm of a mature woman.
As a result, after seeing this, she couldn't help but regret a little.
Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi returned to the cave again.
This time, neither Jiang Yechen nor the woman in the green skirt followed.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Jiang Yechen felt mixed. He looked at the woman in the green skirt next to him and couldn't help but ask:
“Is this fairy the Taoist companion of Master Changqing?”
"no."
The woman in the green skirt did it without thinking.
Jiang Yechen's first reaction was that this woman was single and had an ordinary relationship with Lu Changan.
Subsequently, another faint sigh was heard: "In more than two hundred years, when have you ever seen him marry a wife and have children?"
“No.”
Jiang Yechen thought for a while, the turtle master was always alone.
Compared to the days when Lu Changan was irresponsible and could always be carefree and happy.
He discovered that the love he had when he was young was a big grievance!
…
Dongfu, inside the side hall.
Lu Changan was finally able to communicate with Shi Xianzi in private.
“Congratulations to Mr. Lu, for taking the former number one fairy in the Liang Kingdom into your pocket. Although I am old and yellow, I am still very proud.”
Shi Xianzi said with a smile.
At this time, she thought of the true identity of the woman in the green skirt, and her heart became less sad or sour.
“Fairy Master is too praised! Fairy Lu and Fairy Niyue are not Taoist couples, but they have higher spiritual pursuits for each other.”
“As far as friendship is concerned, we are not as good as we were back then.”
Lu Changan secretly thought that it was still the Fairy Master who was enlightened.
See each other calmly after reunion.
No jealousy, no quarrels, no emotional entanglements, and even a word of congratulations.
In the secular view, it is not as delicious as dumplings, which is indeed true.
The two talked about some past events.
“Ye Daoyou has also passed away for decades...”
Lu Changan sighed softly.
Ye Fei was the peak master selected by Lu Changan back then. His qualifications, cultivation, and background were not as good as those of Jiang Yechen at that time.
Decades ago, Ye Fei failed to form an elixir and died.
Ye Fei left Wu Qi Mountain a few years before forming the elixir. During the Demonic War, he went to the front line to perform meritorious service in exchange for the materials for the crystal elixir.
Failed to form the elixir, and there is a risk of physical death. This is why the method of transforming pills is very unpopular in the world of immortality. Because, if you condense the pill again, this risk still exists.
“I, Guanshi Fairy, live less than ten years, have you ever taken the third-level life-extending pill?”
Lu Changan said with concern.
“No! The third-level Life Extension Pill is even rarer than the Crystal Condensation Pill. It is rare to find but not to ask for. In the Liang Kingdom, even if it occasionally appears, it will either be divided up by the big forces or make very excessive demands..."
Shi Xianzi felt a little disheartened when she mentioned this matter.
Fake elixir cultivation will not mean much even if you extend your life by a few more years.
However, her adopted son, Shi Xiaochuan, was not yet twenty years old, and he was somewhat unwilling to do so and wanted to stay with her for a few more years.
Knowing that she was in urgent need of the third-level longevity pill, some forces opened their mouths to Wuye Town Lion, and the conditions were quite harsh.
Perhaps, it is not sincere and is meant to be manipulated.
The third-level longevity elixir that Lu Changan obtained from Liang State was traded with genuine crystal condensation elixir, which shows its strategic value.
At that time, during the war, the value of the third-level longevity elixir declined.
“If Fairy Master doesn’t mind, Lu has a low-grade third-level life-extending pill in his hand. It’s slightly flawed and can probably extend his life for twenty years.”
Lu Changan took out a jade bottle. The life-extending pill inside was the inferior one among the three that had been refined but was not taken.
“What does Mr. Lu want to trade?”
Shi Xianzi showed his intention to stay with Xiaochuan for twenty more years, which was enough to fulfill his wish.
"No need! Mr. Lu has taken the third-level life-extending pill, so he gave this pill to Master Xianzi as an apology for leaving without saying goodbye all these years."
Lu Changan generously handed the longevity pill to Shi Xianzi.
Different levels, abilities, and things done are incomparable.
Even though it is a poor quality product, the value of this Life Extension Pill far exceeds that of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Two hundred years ago, in the age of Qi refining, Lu Changan had to go through a lot of hard work to build the foundation elixir himself, so naturally he didn't have much spare time to give gifts to others.
The Master Fairy was moved and solemnly accepted this hard-won third-level longevity pill.
Lu Changan may only regard her as a passer-by in his life, and no longer have the close relationship he once had, but he is indeed a nostalgic person who will not treat any old friend badly.
Changqing Zhenren, starting from his inspirational foundation, was destined to be a historical figure in the world of immortality in Liang Kingdom.
Even his accomplishments and life biography stop here.
Although he was just a passer-by in his career, Shi Xianzi has no regrets about meeting such a legendary figure.
Even if you put aside the aura of legend, Lu Changan's appearance, temperament, personality and conversation are enough to attract most female cultivators.
“If Shi Xianzi feels sorry for you, tell Mr. Lu the detailed information about the exploration of the ruins.”
Lu Changan suggested with a smile.
"good."
Shi Xianzi sorted it out for a while, began to explain the more detailed information about the ancient ruins, and answered Lu Changan's careful inquiries.
After the ancient ruins were controlled by the Jinyang Sect and others, she was invited to the ruins to assist in the exploration and development, but gained little during the period.
Nowadays, the ruins have been searched and explored by the Liangguo sect, and there is not much value left.
In recent years, the sect has not paid much attention to it, and it is used for disciple training, treasure hunting, and archaeological research.
Sect disciples from the Jinyang Sect camp can enter and explore by paying spirit stones.
