Chapter 321 Return of the Feng Kingdom
“By the way, I checked ancient books a few years ago and found relevant records about ‘Tinghai Pavilion’.”
Shi Xianzi finished speaking and added.
“Tinghai Pavilion?”
Lu Changan has neglected the exploration of information about this ancient sect over the years.
After all, this sect is not a force in Daqing Realm. Whether it exists now is a question and it is difficult to attract attention.
Xianzi Shi handed a jade slip to Lu Changan, which contained not only a detailed map of the interior of the ancient ruins, but also ancient records related to "Tinghai Pavilion".
After checking it, Lu Changan thought deeply.
Tinghai Pavilion is an ancient sect located on the east coast of Tianyan Continent, with a history of at least 20,000 years.
At its peak, the sect gave birth to a god-turned-celestial king who was once the strongest overlord in the coastal waters and even intimidated the outer seas.
Even in normal times, Tinghai Pavilion basically has Nascent Soul monks, whose strength exceeds any top sect in Daqing.
The information recorded in ancient books is separated by a long time, at least thousands of years, and the information may not be accurate.
Today, the specific situation of Tinghai Pavilion is unknown.
The realm of cultivation where Tinghai Pavilion is located is called Dayuan. The civilization of cultivating immortals is far more prosperous than that of Daqing and Dakun.
“Great Abyss?”
The rough map of Tianheng Continent known to Lu Changan was obtained from the memory of the fourth life. It does not have the mark of Dakun in the previous life, but there is the mark of Dayuan.
It can be speculated from this that Dayuan’s civilization of cultivating immortals should be more than one level stronger than Qingzhou and Kunzhou, and it belongs to the Great Earth Realm on Tianyan Continent.
Judging from the azimuth and distance on the map, Daqing is at least five or six boundaries across from Dayuan, which is very far away.
Lu Changan was confused. With such a long distance, it was very difficult for Tinghai Pavilion to build a secret refuge in Daqing.
It would be possible if only a few Nascent Soul Lord came. But judging from the scale of the ancient ruins, not only one or two Nascent Souls came, but also some other monks.
“Is there a transmission channel or a space rift between the two realms?”
Lu Changan once obtained part of the memory of Baisu Soul Gu.
Main Soul Gu comes from Zhongzhou in Tianyan Continent. By chance, he escaped through the space rift and escaped to this land.
Tianyan Continent is vast and vast. It is the birthplace of the human world’s civilization of cultivating immortals. In its main area, there have been some spatial cracks in various places since ancient times.
Those space cracks, some are born naturally, and some are left by ancient powerful fighting techniques. They are often accompanied by unusual dangers and are located in certain forbidden areas.
For example, the "Xingyue Jue" obtained by Lu Changan is the ancestor of the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce. He was chased by a powerful enemy and passed through overseas forbidden areas without intending to reach Tianyan Continent.
…
On that day, Lu Changan did not spend the night at Shixianzi Cave.
Before leaving, he took out a rare treasure and gave it to Shi Xianzi's adopted son "Shi Xiaochuan" as a meeting gift.
At the top of Wuye Town, Jiang Yechen, the host, took the initiative to say goodbye to Lu Changan.
Jiang Yechen mentioned something to Lu Changan about Shen Bixin's descendants.
After Shen Bixin and her husband passed away, their descendants did not fare well as they wished. In addition, the Demonic War swept through, and the original Tengxing Chamber of Commerce fell into pieces.
After the cessation of the Demonic War, Song Xi, a descendant of Shen Bixin, approached Wuye Town, hoping to be taken care of by Jiang Yechen.
Jiang Yechen and Shen Bixin had broken off their relationship for more than a hundred years. They were already disheartened and their love was exhausted, so they gave them a small profit and threw it away.
However, Lu Changan still owed Shen Bixin a promise that he had not repaid.
The descendants originally wanted to find Changqing Zhenren, but Jiang Yechen just came along.
It is a pity that Changqing Zhenren has disappeared for so many years and his traces are hard to find.
Lu Changan recalled the last time he saw Shen Bixin at the Qingshawan in Jingguo during the Dan Dan Festival.
At that time, Shen Bixin brought her son Song Xi over to congratulate her. She wanted Lu Changan to accept him as a disciple.
Lu Changan doesn’t really want to accept a disciple, but he can’t refuse forcefully.
So, Shen Bixin and her son were given two choices.
First, he promised to have a named disciple and did not have much energy to preach.
Secondly, if Shen Bixin's son is found before building a foundation or forming an elixir, Lu will give him a chance to be promoted.
After weighing the situation, Shen Bixin, mother and son, chose the latter.
Ninety-six years have passed since what happened back then.
It's not that Lu Changan broke the contract. He had been in refuge for a period of time before, and he was not stable and had no chance to repay.
When Shen Bixin's descendants wanted to fulfill their promise, he was not in the Weidao League and almost forgot about it.
“I’d like to trouble Daoyou Jiang to contact Daoyou Shen’s descendants. A year later, in Wuye Town, Mr. Lu fulfilled his promise.”
Lu Changan entrusted Jiang Yechen to contact him. As the latter was the number one casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom, this matter was naturally not difficult.
At present, he doesn’t want to go to Jing Kingdom to cultivate immortality.
Who knows if the son of luck from the middle region of Daqing is still in Jing Kingdom?
If you bump into this person and discover your secret, it will be more than worth the loss.
Fortunately, the middle-region monk who also practiced the "Evergreen Skill" was not the True Lord Ling Yu who was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
If so, at this distance, the Golden Elixir Dao Fruit should at least have a vague inspiration.
In addition, the Tianluo Sect, which had a grudge against Lu Changan, is now also stationed in Jing Kingdom. In the early years, Lu Changan was wanted and a reward was offered.
Lu Changan has not forgotten the grudges from back then, and will wait until Patriarch Tianluo’s longevity is over to settle the matter.
…
Two days later.
Lu Changan and Fairy Niyue parted ways after leaving Wuye Town.
Lu Changan has personal matters to deal with.
Fairy Niyue went to revisit her old place to look for the lost female cultivators of Xuanyin Pavilion, especially Liu Qingyan who was promoted to the True Pill.
half a month later.
In the Black Mist Mountains, there is a formation hall built on the swamp where the ancient ruins are located.
Whoosh!
A foundation-building young man dressed in Jinyang Sect clothing passed the identity verification at the entrance of the ruins hall, paid the spirit stone, and entered the ruins.
“There is only one old True Alchemy monk sitting in charge. It seems that the Jinyang Sect camp really does not pay attention to this place and has not found any major opportunities or secrets.”
Lu Changan, the disguised foundation-building young man, thought to himself.
The world of immortality has been inherited for countless thousands of years, and ancient caves, ruins, and miniature secret realms have been excavated from time to time in various places.
For the Yuanying Sect, these are not unusual.
In the eyes of the outside world, it is suspected that Master Changqing got the opportunity to form an elixir here, and the inheritance of formations obtained by Shi Xianzi belongs to the third level of opportunity.
Later on the sect’s exploration, the highest opportunity obtained was also at the third level.
Lu Changan revisited his old place. The surrounding areas of the ruins were covered with plains, and all the formation restrictions were broken.
Seven full days.
Lu Changan explored every corner of the ruins and found almost nothing.
Today's ruins are more like a tourist attraction for archaeological exploration. You can study the remaining ancient formations and occasionally find old objects from recent antiquity.
There are also some restrictions that pose little threat. Low-level insect beasts are probably left behind intentionally by the sect to provide training for the disciples and increase their experience.
“That miniature secret space no longer exists.”
Lu Changan came to the center of the secret realm, and the hexagonal palace treasure house was completely reduced to ruins.
The small space hidden above it has already collapsed, causing a chain reaction that led to the destruction of all surrounding buildings.
In the case of determining the specific location.
Exploring with Nascent Soul’s sensory vision, one can barely find that there were slight traces of space collapse in that void.
As a result, there was no resistance from Tongtian, but the hexagrams were unclear, too far away, and there were few clues.
Lu Changan judged that due to the changes in Xuan Teng and being tracked by the gods, even if Tinghai Pavilion existed now, it was in decline. "As for the Liang Guo Sect, the most we can dig into is the humanistic history of the ancient sect. I don't know the real secrets, at least there is no information about Xuan Teng."
“If there is any trouble, unless the heirs of Tinghai Pavilion come here to find out…”
After repeated inspections, Lu Changan determined that there were no obvious traces left.
Although there are traces of the collapse point of the small secret space, the Yuanying True Lord of Jinyang Sect does not know the specific location, so the probability of discovering it is low.
Even if you are aware of it, you cannot think of Xuan Teng out of thin air.
Lu Changan was basically relieved and left the Black Mist Mountains where the ancient ruins were located.
Half a day later.
Hundreds of miles away in the mountains where the ancient ruins are located.
A broken and broken stone pillar buried in the mountain body showed subtle spiritual patterns, which lasted only half a breath before fading and disappearing.
The spiritual patterns on the damaged stone pillars will appear faintly every ten days, conveying some kind of invisible and obscure fluctuations.
…
Nearly a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Changan appeared in different identities in high-level fairy cities in Liang and Feng countries, including the transcendent and neutral Wangyue Fairy City, to purchase resources.
Three-level high-quality puppet materials, as well as late-level third-level body refining treasure materials, are rare and hard to find even in the Feng Kingdom, which has a vast territory and abundant resources, and even in the aloof and neutral Mochizuki Immortal City.
In order to improve efficiency, Lu Changan not only participated in auctions, but also had puppet clones trade in the black market.
There are a lot of stolen goods in the black market, and there are inevitably risks in the transaction process.
During this period, I encountered evil businessmen and robbers.
Even encountered a situation involving fishing and law enforcement. The newly obtained stolen goods were tracked by the monks of the original sect. It was a bizarre coincidence.
However, in the face of absolute strength, all those conspiracies and tricks are nothing.
The puppet clones and rock rats are enough to solve some troubles, and Lu Changan does not need to take action.
After nearly a year of purchasing transactions, Lu Changan successfully collected the remaining materials needed for third-level high-grade puppets, and even had a lot of surplus.
To attack the third-level high-grade puppet master, one material may not be enough, the more the better.
Fortunately, even if the refining of high-quality puppets fails, they will not be scrapped and part of them can be recycled.
Lu Changan is also a third-level high-grade weapon refiner. He can refine materials, which is beneficial to strengthening and upgrading the puppet's grade.
On this day, Lu Changan arrived at the last stop of his trip.
Fengguo, Xueyue City.
The sphere of influence of Proud Moon Palace, a large-scale auction held once every ten years, is in progress.
This auction has many traces of immortal golden elixirs and elixir-forming overhauls, and the scene is lively.
“The Five Directions Stone of Tribulation! It is an excellent treasure to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation of the Nascent Soul. It can reduce the injuries of those who have formed a baby during the Heavenly Thunder and save mana..."
“Seventy-five thousand…seventy-seven thousand…”
“Eighty thousand spiritual stones!”
“Is there any higher offer? Although this calamity-saving treasure is a one-time consumable, it is a rare and top-quality item, comparable to a strategic item that can be used to form a baby!”
On the auction stage, the passionate voice of the old man echoed throughout the audience.
In one of the VIP rooms, Chang Lu quietly watched and did not take any action.
He is also a cultivator, his physical body is strong, and he has the power of golden elixir, so there is no need to pursue particularly good thunder-transforming items.
As a one-time consumable, the price is quite high.
Some alchemy masters who do not have a strong foundation may have been beaten to death during the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, so they urgently need this item.
For Lu Changan, the Infant Transformation Pill and the Ying Ying Spiritual Object have higher priority.
Infant-forming spiritual objects are divided into several types, including improving the quality of mana, the strength of spiritual consciousness, and concentrating one's mind...
Among them, spiritual objects that help break down obstacles and resist inner demons are the most rare and precious.
Lu Changan did not take action at this time, also to avoid attracting attention.
Bidding for a calamity stone means that someone is going to have a baby, which is very high-profile.
Before this, he bid for a third-level life-extending pill, including a top-notch third-level, close to fourth-level treasure, and he accepted it as soon as it was good.
Since there were elixir-forming major cultivators and golden elixir cultivators on the field, Lu Changan did not let the clone puppet show his holiness in front of others.
The auction ended and the monks from all sides dispersed.
“Junior sister Wenyue, how was the harvest from this auction?”
From one of the VIP rooms, several female alchemy cultivators with cold temperaments, like the bright moon, flew out.
That is a high-level female cultivator from Aoyue Palace. She has a noble status and enjoys privileges in Xueyue City.
“That is Fairy Xuan Bing!”
“The innate Tao body of Proud Moon Palace, the Nascent Soul Seed!”
One of the female cultivators wearing a white-gown skirt has attracted a lot of attention.
This woman is about 20 years old, her eyes are like a cold lake in late autumn, her temperament is as clear as snow, her waist is slender, her hair reaches her waist, her eyebrows seem to have a faint mist of sadness, she looks like a lonely fairy in an ice palace.
It gives people a sense of indifference and world-weary asceticism.
“I haven’t seen this woman for more than a hundred years, but this woman’s temperament has changed so much...”
Lu Changan glanced at Xian from a distance and flew away from Xueyue City without stopping.
He speculated that Xia Wenyue's temperament changes were affected by the practice of martial arts and the growing environment in which Yin in Aoyue Palace was strong and Yang was weak.
Lu Changan has never seen the ice-beautiful fairy in the world of immortality.
The former Han Yuzhenren is a representative. But Master Hanyu's coldness is partly a disguised mask to enhance his identity and reject some suitors.
At this moment, Xia Wenyue's aloof and cold temperament was a real chill that penetrated from spirit to form and penetrated to the bones.
Seeing each other again after a hundred years, Lu Changan felt a little strange.
“However, the progress of this woman’s practice is slightly faster than expected…”
Lu Changan was satisfied with this.
Xia Wenyue was promoted to Jiedan about forty or fifty years ago.
Now, this woman has touched the peak of the early stage of pill formation and is not far from the middle stage.
This kind of speed of catching up through practice is considered normal for top geniuses.
Because, the later the realm, the longer the training time required.
For example, it took Lu Changan 1 Jiazi to practice from the early stage to the middle stage of alchemy formation.
Xia Wenyue, on the other hand, went from foundation building to elixir formation in just one year, and was in the same realm as Lu Changan.
Lu Changan formed the elixir for the first time a few years later than Xia Wenyue established the foundation. The subsequent three elixir formations were delayed by several years.
Based on Xia Wenyue's current cultivation progress, Lu Changan estimated that by the time he was promoted to the late stage of the Golden Core, Xia Wenyue would have been in the middle stage of the Core Formation for at least many years.
…
A few days later, Lu Changan left the Feng Kingdom to cultivate immortality. He harvested a wealth of materials, including third-level longevity pills, and returned home with a full load.
Seeing Xia Wenyue at the auction was just a coincidence.
In the sphere of influence of Aoyue Palace, he learned about an important event.
Xia Wenyue’s master, the Immortal Golden Pill of the past, has now been promoted to the True Lord of Nascent Soul and took over the position of palace master.
The old palace master's life is short, and he was seriously injured in the magic battlefield. His magic power has been greatly reduced, and he has been relegated to the second line.
The situation in Aoyue Palace can be regarded as a successful completion of the succession of Nascent Soul Lord, without any gaps.
A month later, Lu Changan returned to Wuye Town on the eastern border of Liang Kingdom.
In the guest room at the top of Wuye Town, Shen Bixin's descendants have been waiting for many days.
