Chapter 328 This is indeed the case
Entering the northern border of Liang Kingdom, Lu Changan found that the number of monks migrating to Feng Yuan Kingdom was more than double that of before.
These fleeing monks are not limited to the Liang Kingdom, but include monks from all the countries of the Wei Dao League, including casual monks, family monks, and sect deserters.
In fact, it is quite risky for those who are inferior to the real person to pass through the harsh flying sand chasm.
Even so, there are still some foundation-building monks who step into the endless desert alone or in teams.
Thinking about the war situation in the Wei Dao League, it is not difficult for Lu Changan to understand.
The only Xiuxian Kingdoms that have not been conquered by the Wei Dao League are Feng Kingdom, Liang Kingdom, and Jing Kingdom.
Centered on the Fengguo country with the largest plate:
【Chen State and Yan State in the west and south direction】 were successively captured by Beast King Valley.
The first one to be destroyed was the Chen State. Before Lu Changan left, it was lost to the Tianluo Sect, which was a shame.
The country of Yan was originally the hometown of "Chu Tianfeng" of Wuya Palace. In his early years, he moved the sect to Feng Kingdom. Not only was he a fourth-level middle-grade spiritual lineage, he was indeed foresighted.
[The Heng Kingdom in the rear area on the east side of the Feng Kingdom] was also conquered by the Beast King Valley many years ago, and there is no Nascent Soul power in this country.
【Jingguo and Liangguo are located in the northwest and due north of Fengguo respectively. 】
[Jing State borders the captured Chen State to the north and south] and became a local battlefield. Due to concerns about the son of luck, there was no large-scale invasion.
Calculated in this way, Liang State, located directly north of Feng State, is the only rear area of the Wei Dao Alliance that has not been directly involved in the war.
For middle- and lower-class monks, looking around, there are almost no safe escape areas to choose from.
Either it is a dangerous place, such as a boundless desert, a poisonous swamp, or it is a sphere of influence controlled by the devil.
Lu Changan calculated with his fingers that the first stop when he returned to Liang Kingdom was the nearby Zhou family, where he could control the beast.
The Zhou Family of Taming Beasts is the family that cultivates immortality closest to the ancient ruins.
Zhou Qingxuan, the ancestor of the Zhou family, is over 290 years old and has entered his twilight years, with at most more than ten years left to live.
…
At a small branch of the Black Mist Mountains, there is a large and heavily guarded villa located deep in the mountains and valleys, shrouded by a third-order formation.
In recent decades, the Zhou family has reached its peak. Not only have there been many fake elixirs, but a beast master with real elixir cultivation has also been born.
The aging Zhou Qingxuan retired to the second line and handed over the power of the patriarch to the newly promoted Zhendan descendant "Zhou Tianchi".
That day, Zhou Tianchi, the head of the Zhou family, was carefully cultivating his natal spiritual beast.
Whoosh!
A transmission note flashed with light red light and entered the cave.
“Aunt Qing is summoned for something important?”
Zhou Tianchi frowned slightly, feeling puzzled.
Over the years, he has taken charge of the family and became the number one member of the Zhou family.
Due to the different concepts of managing the family, Aunt Qing knows the general situation and rarely interferes in family affairs.
However, Zhou Qingxuan is the highest-ranking ancestor of the Zhou family, with a high status and good connections.
Zhou Tianchi did not dare to neglect and flew to a more remote cave in Zhoujia Villa.
In the main hall of the cave, besides the ancestor of the Zhou family, there was also a strange man in white.
“Tianchi, Aunt Qing will recommend a senior to you today.”
Zhou Qingxuan no longer looks like the girl she once was. The crow's feet are obvious, but her facial features are still beautiful. She is wearing a long black skirt and looks like a beautiful woman in her thirties or forties.
Even if you take the Beauty Pill, your appearance will inevitably be maintained perfectly when your life span is approaching.
Furthermore, the second-level beauty elixir can only maintain the same appearance for a hundred years. Zhou Qingxuan's life is short, and she obviously doesn't want to waste resources anymore.
“This is the legendary alchemy monk in the world of immortality, Changqing Zhenren.”
Hearing Aunt Qing's introduction, Zhou Tianchi's heart was slightly shaken.
The man in white clothes in the field of vision is handsome and handsome, as gentle as jade. He looks about twenty years old, but he has a calm and indifferent feeling that has gone through the ups and downs of the years.
The aura of mana on his body is clear and long, like a deep-rooted evergreen tree, making people look up to him.
“The late-born Zhou Tianchi has met the real person Chang Qing.”
Zhou Tianchi, who looked like a forty-year-old scholar wearing a Confucian robe and a turban on his head, solemnly bowed his hands.
Although they are both Zhendan monks, the Changqing master in front of him is a legend that has lasted for three hundred years in the world of immortality.
More importantly, this person’s cultivation level and magical powers are far above him.
At the moment when Qi and Qi are in contact.
The psychic insect beast in Zhou Tianchi's storage bag was frightened and uneasy, shivering and huddled up.
Zhou Tianchi is not qualified to make friends with the sect's alchemy overhaul. This is the first time that this situation has occurred.
“No need to be polite.”
Lu Changan and Zhou Qingxuan sat next to each other, smiling and raising their hands.
There are also three, six or nine levels of Jie Dan Zhenren.
Regardless of seniority, seniority, and level of cultivation, most of the Jiedan masters in the Liang Kingdom were at least half of his juniors.
“Tianchi is the direct grandson of Uncle Jingxuan…”
Zhou Qingxuan added in a low voice.
“Oh? It turns out he is a descendant of Zhou Jingxuan.”
Lu Changan was stunned. No wonder this man looked a little familiar.
Zhou Jingxuan was once the elder of the Establishing Clan of the Zhou family who controlled the beasts, and the uncle of Zhou Qingxuan.
Back then, when he participated in the Zhuye Mountain auction, he was almost killed by Liang Shaotian. Fortunately, Zhou Qingxuan was smart and cut off an arm decisively to save his life.
Later, Lu Changan built the foundation of Huanglong Immortal City and cooperated with the Zhou family. He had several dealings with Zhou Jingxuan, who was stationed in the city, and he was considered a half-acquaintance.
“Master Lu, are you returning from Feng Yuan Kingdom? This junior has been yearning for that ancient country in the center of the desert for a long time.”
Zhou Tianchi knew that Aunt Qing was creating an opportunity for him to make acquaintance with the legendary Master Jiedan, so he cheered up and entertained her warmly.
"After a hundred years, Master Lu returned to the Liang Kingdom safely. His magic power has been improved to a higher level, breaking many rumors. There may be some suspense about his title as the number one casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom."
Zhou Tianchi said with a respectful tone.
The current Changqing Zhenren, who is in the middle stage of alchemy cultivation and possesses the earth-grade bloodline Xuan Shuigui, can be regarded as the ceiling of Liang Guo's casual cultivation.
Unexpectedly, the compliment was interrupted by Zhou Qingxuan:
"Uncle Lu, you don't bother to fight for such a false reputation. Don't say such high-profile words in the future."
“Yes, Aunt Qing. My nephew has long heard that Uncle Lu is upright and upright and indifferent to fame and fortune.”
Zhou Tianchi immediately changed his name and called him Uncle Lu.
Lu Changan noticed Zhou Qingxuan's intentions and hoped that after his death, he could take some care of the descendants of the Zhou family who controlled the beast.
Coming back this time, Lu Changan maintained his cultivation level in the middle stage of pill formation, giving people the illusion that he would not be able to advance to the later stages of major cultivation in this life.
Doing this is consistent with the reality.
At the middle stage of Danjie, he was already a leader among the casual cultivators of Liang Kingdom.
If it is to be repaired in the later stage of the Dan Formation, its status will be of great importance, which will attract the attention of all major forces, and even attract the inspection and attention of Zhenjun Yuanying.
Secondly, this is to show weakness to the mysterious and unknown monks from outside the state.
With Lu Changan’s qualifications, if he reveals his cultivation in the late stage of pill formation, the mysterious foreign monks will definitely think that he has a great opportunity in the ruins, and his priority will be raised to the first place.
…
Half an hour later.
Lu Changan had some understanding of the recent situation in the Wei Dao League through two real people from the Zhou family.
Over the years, many major events have occurred in the Demonic War.
First of all, Alliance Leader Chu has been in the middle stage of Yuanying for many years and has greatly improved his magical powers. A few years ago, he designed to trap and kill a Yuanying elder in the Beast King Valley.
This battle established prestige and boosted the morale of the Wei Dao League.
Chu Tianfeng, the title of the first monk of the Wei Dao League, stabilizes people's hearts.
Second, the demonic path retaliated, and the guardians of Wujian Sect were dispatched to assassinate the elderly elder of Jinyang Sect.
The elder of Jin Yangzong was less than 100 years old. In the early days of Yuan Ying, he was repaired. On the way back to the battlefield, he was assassinated and assassinated on the spot.
The secret attack method used by Wu Jian Sect protector is a long nail magic weapon, which can hurt the soul, just like the method used to assassinate Master Li Huo in the early years.
Because of that plot, the decisive battle between Master Lihuo and True Lord Liuyang failed miserably.
“The advantage that Jinyangzong took back then can now be considered as repaying the price.”
Lu Changan has experienced the fourth life of Master Lihuo's transformation and is happy to see its success.
His heart suddenly moved.
In the entire Weidao League, Jinyang Sect has the longest inheritance and profound foundation.
Now that we have lost a True Lord of Nascent Soul, we will definitely try our best to train the next True Lord of Nascent Soul at all costs.
In the most prosperous era of this sect, there was a sect called Sanyuanying, so it must have the resources to form infants.
Under the Nascent Soul level, Lu Changan once again heard about the reputation of Headmaster Liang.
Over the past few years, Liang Shaotian's Black Gang Demonic Flame has been cultivated to a new level. It is extremely powerful and invincible on the demonic battlefield, and is invincible under the Nascent Soul.
Especially after the Peacock Saint was captured, only a few true elixir masters in the Beast King Valley could compete with her.
Generally, when a Dan-forming overhaul encounters him, there is a risk of falling.
Liang Shaotian has killed more than one demonic cultivator, and he is appreciated by Alliance Leader Chu. He ranks first in the battle merit list, far ahead!
Lu Changan couldn't help but think of the secret conversation he had with the Heavenly Master before leaving.
The Heavenly Master has calculated by divination that the Wei Dao Alliance has not exhausted its energy. Under the pressure of war, some stars have fallen, and new stars have risen strongly, and the old and the new have replaced each other.
It will not be completely destroyed for at least a hundred years.
Before evening, Lu Changan chatted with Zhou Qingxuan alone for a long time, waiting for Xing Peng to arrive.
Zhou Qingxuan is worried about the future of the beast-controlling Zhou family.
Although the Zhou family gave birth to a beast master with true elixir cultivation, the patriarch Zhou Tianchi did not agree with her ideas.
Zhou Tianchi pays attention to personal cultivation and makes friends with high-level people in the sect.
For this reason, he was willing to sacrifice Zhou family monks and beast pets to go to the battlefield in exchange for merit.
Not only that.
In the Valley of the Beast King, Wu Jianmen secretly recruited him, and Zhou Tianchi was also tempted by the promised benefits.
If the Wei Dao Alliance is defeated and the momentum is not right, Zhou Tianchi is likely to seek refuge in the Beast King Valley.
“It’s best not to rebel within a hundred years.”
Lu Changan just made a few remarks and would not interfere with the future decisions of the Beast Control Zhou family.
In the world of immortality, there is no absolute right or wrong in choosing between loyalty or betrayal.
For example, the former Mu family of Feiyue Lake, through Mu Jiuan's relationship, successfully surrendered when the Jin Yangzong camp attacked, allowing the family to prosper for hundreds of years.
…
After late at night.
Xing Peng quietly rushed to Yushou Zhou's house.
Zhou Qingxuan opened the formation secret door for him, entered the family's important area, and reported to Lu Changan alone.
“Meet Mr. Lu!”
Xing Peng, who had not seen him for a hundred years, looked slightly fatter, with red eyes, and bowed his head.
In the past hundred years, although Lu Changan came to Liang Kingdom, he never showed up.
Even if he occasionally obtains information from Xing Peng, he always contacts him through his puppet clone, a member of the Qinglong Society.
Lu Changan was angry and kicked Xing Peng.
Without his secret help, Xing Peng would not have been able to transform the elixir into a true elixir. If he had practiced false elixirs, his longevity would be approaching the end now.
It’s just that this kid is very ineffective. After being promoted to the True Alchemy, his potential seems to have been exhausted, and his cultivation has stagnated at the peak of the early stage of Alchemy. However, this person’s elixir quality is average, so this situation is considered normal.
Xing Peng was very comfortable in the Liangguofen helm of Wujianmen because of his eldest cousin, the "Jueying Helmsman", fishing and messing around all day long.
“The small ones only need to saddle up the horse and back for the master Lu, the rest is not important.”
Xing Peng had an apologetic smile on his face and had been lying down for a long time.
Even if he is lucky enough to break through the small realm, he will not be able to go further and reach the upper realm, and his longevity will not change.
If there is that kind of potential, it may not be a good thing.
Once there are signs of losing control, Lu Changan is likely to cause the Gu Divine Restriction in his sea of consciousness to activate.
Instead of unrealistically making progress, it is better to enjoy the shade under a big tree and enjoy a happy life.
“The Master of the Wujian Sect and Zhenjun Lingyu fought secretly, and both sides were injured. The latter may have temporarily retreated to the Central Territory?”
From Xing Peng, Lu Changan obtained the inside story of the top-level game.
“It’s just hearsay, the details are unknown, so it shouldn’t be taken seriously.”
Xing Peng only had a rough guess. The leader of the Wujian Sect had fought against Zhenjun Ling Yu, and he was not on the side of the Wei Dao League. He was not sure of the details.
“Have you found any traces of that mysterious foreign cultivator?”
Lu Changan asked about the news he was most concerned about.
“Three mysterious foreign cultivators, wanted by the Immortal World of Liang Kingdom, have kept a low profile for many years. They are suspected to have appeared in Wangyue Immortal City in the past two years.”
“Wangyue Fairy City?”
That is the place where Lu Changan secretly formed the immortal golden elixir.
This neutral high-level fairy city has more than one Nascent Soul True Lord sitting in charge.
Lu Changan speculated that foreign cultivators from Dayuan may purchase resources and obtain intelligence there.
After all, the three foreign cultivators were not only wanted by Liang Guo, but also killed the spies of Wujianmen, which attracted the attention of the devil.
“Now, the Jinyang Sect has lost a True Lord of Nascent Soul, and its control over the immortal world of Liang Kingdom has declined. The mysterious foreign cultivator is likely to take action again.”
If Lu Changan were them, dormant for many years and adapted to the new world, he would take the opportunity to make a comeback.
After Xing Peng left.
Lu Changan did not stay overnight at Zhou's house and said goodbye to Zhou Qingxuan.
Zhou Qingxuan begged to let Lu Changan appear in public at the Beast Control Zhou's house after dawn, but the latter refused.
It’s not that Lu Changan is unkind.
Zhou Qingxuan attacked him in his early years. Later, Lu Changan devoured Baisu Soul Gu and took her as a slave. This woman had no merit but hard work.
However, Lu Changan returned to the Wei Dao Alliance, and if the first force to show up openly was the Beast Control Zhou family, it might attract the attention of the mysterious foreign cultivators and bring disaster to the Zhou family.
Lu Changan only visited secretly and did not show up in person. In fact, he was protecting the Zhou family.
…
Zhou Qingxuan felt a little resentful and sent Lu Changan out of the cave.
She knew that she was too old and frail to serve her master, so she did not stay the night.
Fortunately, Lu Changan was generous before leaving and left behind a few third-level and lower-grade talismans, which added to the family heritage.
Hurrah!
When turning back, passing by the viewing pool in the cave, a fish jumped out of the water, splashing into the late autumn water.
Zhou Qingxuan was moved by the scene, feeling sad and lonely, and returned to her dormitory.
She didn't notice: there was an undercurrent flowing at the bottom of the waterscape pool, and a drop of dark blue water mixed with the mud, making it difficult to detect. The dark blue water droplets produced faint ripples of light and quickly disappeared.
…
At noon the next day.
In front of the mountain gate of Jinyun Valley.
The mysterious water between the clouds was turbulent, like a pool of water, and on the escaping light, a terrifying dark green turtle was found; on the turtle's back was a handsome and immortal Jie Dan Zhenren.
“Middle stage of pill formation! Riding on the third-level Xuanshui giant turtle...Which pill formation expert is this?”
The entire Jinyun Valley was alarmed.
After a hundred years of war, many older monks in Jinyun Valley have died, and several generations of new disciples have been passed down.
Most of the middle and lower-level monks in the sect have never seen this person.
“Lu Wu... Mr. Lu?”
“Master Changqing! Wasn’t he chased by the Beast King Valley and died in a foreign country? He actually returned to the Golden Cloud Valley today!”
The ones who recognized the identity were at least the older middle-level foundation builders, and the other one was Master Jie Dan.
Many people were stunned and in disbelief.
“Hmph! He actually has the nerve to come back?”
A black-bearded Zhendan elder sneered and criticized:
“A hundred years ago, the situation in the Demonic War was critical and the sect suffered heavy losses. The turtle was ungrateful and ran away.”
“Now, under the leadership of Head Zhang, Jinyun Valley has returned to its peak and is prospering. What is this person doing back here?”
Another fake elixir master said angrily: "I allowed this barely surviving person to advance further in cultivation and advance to the middle stage of elixir formation."
“I am afraid that Master Chang Qing is plotting against our sect’s third-level top spiritual veins to come back and enjoy the superior cultivation environment.”
Lu Changan's return has aroused heated discussions among the middle and high-level monks in Jinyun Valley.
Most of the older monks were dissatisfied with Lu Changan's return.
Several real people communicated privately and proposed to head Zhang to boycott Lu Wugui and not allow him to return to Jinyun Valley.
“That person is the rumored Chang Qing Zhenren, and he is quite charming.”
In Jinyun Valley, on a certain third-order spiritual peak, two true alchemist ministers, a man and a woman, watched this scene with great interest.
“Fellow Taoist Zhu, do you think Jinyun Valley will take this person in?”
“I can’t say for sure. I heard that this person has a close relationship with Master Zhang…”
The female cultivator surnamed Zhendan smiled and said.
Due to the destruction of many countries, Liang State was the only battlefield in the rear area that was not disturbed by the war.
Those forces from the defeated country, many monks, moved to the Liang Kingdom to seek spiritual channels and attached themselves to the major forces in the Liang Kingdom.
Among them, Jinyun Valley performed strongly, its luck increased, and it attracted some talents and new blood, including many guests of Jie Dan Zhenren.
…
“My dear fellows, stay well!”
Lu Changan stood up from the big turtle in Xuanshui. He had a handsome figure, a gentle smile, and a voice like a spring breeze.
He looked at the Jinyun Valley in front of him. There were a lot of talents, great luck, and the spiritual veins of the mountain gate had been cultivated to the top level of the third level.
Lao Zhang, thank you for your hard work!
Lu Changan nodded secretly, feeling satisfied.
“It turns out to be Mr. Lu!”
“We haven’t seen each other for a hundred years, Master Lu has been promoted to the middle stage of alchemy formation, which is enviable.”
Even though they didn’t want to see Lu Changan, several real people from Jinyun Valley came out to greet him, and some of them still greeted him with smiles.
There is no other way, the world of immortality is respected by strength.
No one wants to make an enemy of a powerful real person and quarrel with him if it is not necessary.
Just now I was just complaining in private.
Like an unpopular evil person in the circle, he is belittled and criticized behind his back, but when he actually meets, everyone gets along well with him.
Including the black-bearded Zhendan elder, he was no longer as angry as before, and his face was as polite as usual, and he said "Master Lu".
Lu Changan did not see the familiar Zhang Tieshan and Zhao Tan'er.
Blackbeard Zhendan elder's surname is Miao. Before Lu Changan left, he was still at the peak of foundation building and had performed meritorious service on the battlefield. He was a newly promoted elder and had never interacted with him before.
"Master Lu came to Jinyun Valley again after a hundred years. What did he want to do?"
Elder Miao asked straight to the point.
“As an elder of Jinyun Valley, Lu naturally returns to the mountain gate to serve the sect!”
Lu Changan's righteous words are strict.
Several real people present had stunned expressions, and their faces were faintly twitching.
It’s unbelievable that this person’s tone is so natural.
Lu Changan’s choice to return to Jinyun Valley was naturally the result of careful consideration.
His return to the Daoist League was nothing more than three things:
First, obtain the Taiyin Jade Liquid.
Second, resolve the hidden dangers of external repairs related to Tinghai Pavilion.
Third, in the midst of war and subversion, people seek opportunities to have a baby.
The above three things will either make people jealous or have certain risks.
Except for the first thing, the next two cannot be achieved overnight.
Lu Changan needs a safe and reliable base.
And there must be a practice dojo with a third-level high-grade spiritual vein, and the practice cannot fall behind.
In this way, Jinyun Valley is naturally the best choice.
It is relatively safe to practice in Jinyun Valley. With the help of the sect's power and formation, as well as his own strength, he is not too worried about the sneak attack by the old monster Nascent Soul.
Although it may bring trouble to Jinyun Valley.
But Lu Changan has a halo of luck blessing and is a lucky star, so there is no big problem.
"Ahem! Master Lu, you are no longer a monk in Jinyun Valley. This matter still needs to be reported to Master Zhang. However, Master Zhang is practicing his magical powers in seclusion."
Elder Miao coughed lightly and reminded tactfully.
“Headmaster Zhang, did you ever explicitly ask Lu to be removed from Jinyun Valley?”
“That…not really.”
Elder Miao was startled for a moment.
“Alas, you masters don’t understand the truth. In fact, Lu has never really left Jinyun Valley in these years. Instead, he was entrusted by the great elder and Master Zhang to perform a special task..."
Lu Changan sighed bitterly, looking like he was having a hard time.
“Now that the mission is completed, Lu returns to the mountain gate.”
“Is this really happening?”
Elder Miao and others stared with wide eyes and looked strange, naturally they did not believe this kind of nonsense.
What kind of mission requires traveling for hundreds of years?
“The great elder has passed away. We can only wait for Headmaster Zhang to come out of seclusion before making a decision..."
Elder Miao prevaricated.
“It’s true!”
Suddenly, a majestic and upright voice came from the main peak in the center of Jinyun Valley.
A majestic and awe-inspiring aura rose up, and the spiritual pressure belonging to the major cultivation of alchemy was superior to that of many real people in the mountain gate.
I saw a golden escaping light like an auspicious dragon, carrying the contemporary head of Jinyun Valley, flying out of the mountain gate through the air.
“I’ve met Master Zhang.”
The Master Jiedan and the disciples guarding the mountain who were present looked respectful and bowed in unison.
