Chapter 341 Harvest Promise
A few days later.
Seven Kingdoms Alliance Qi, in an underground cave thousands of miles away in the "Jueyuan Forbidden Land".
Lu Changan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his consciousness immersed in the fifth frame of the Nine-Seal Monument.
The fifth generation of the Nine-Seal Monument is now one-fifth of the way through.
The size of the area that was lit this time was also one-tenth, the same as last time, but it was beyond his expectation.
Because, Tianluo Patriarch lost part of the origin of the Yuanying spirit body when he seized the body of the Yuanying three times.
Not long ago, in order to avoid being tracked and locked by the Blood Bat King, a Nascent Soul Forbidden Technique was cast, causing the entire Nascent Soul spirit body to wither and reduce by 10%.
In terms of the integrity of Nascent Soul, it is not as good as the original Lord Chahai.
Lu Changan speculated from this that the progress of lighting is linked to the great realm and has nothing to do with the strength of the soul in the Nascent Soul stage.
In addition to realm, it may involve characteristics related to reincarnation.
They are both in the Nascent Soul stage, no matter whether it is the early stage or the middle or late stage, even if their magical powers are very different, there is no difference in their longevity and life essence.
Perhaps, in the middle and late stages of Devouring the Nascent Soul, the lighting progress is also one-tenth.
After a long time.
Lu Changan opened his eyes and sorted out some useful memory information from the vast and disordered ocean of memories of Patriarch Tianluo.
Ancestor Tianluo did not have any outstanding skills in cultivating immortals. He just lived a long time and had a few third-level skills. Overall, he was slightly inferior to Master Lihuo.
In the case that it cannot be transformed into reincarnation, even if the ancestor of Tianluo has a fourth-level skill, it will not be of much use to Lu Changan, and he will not have so much energy to learn and comprehend.
In terms of fighting skills, Patriarch Tianluo is relatively mediocre among those at the same level as Yuanying. However, he has specialized in some heresy and his ability to protect himself is pretty good.
The side method that he is most good at is the yin and yang dual cultivation method, which has the effect of preserving the appearance and even returning to youth, and can promote cultivation and speed up the recovery of the lost essence, blood and vitality.
Therefore, the ancestor of Tianluo was energetic and had many heirs, developing the Tianluo Sect into a family style.
This person consumes essence and blood many times during the fight, and recovers quickly afterwards.
However, the number of female cultivators in the realm of immortality and above who are in the late stage of alchemy formation is too small, let alone Jurchen monarchs, who basically come from the top forces in the surrounding areas.
The yin and yang dual cultivation method that Tianluo Patriarch is proficient in is called "Dragon and Phoenix Double Cauldron Method", which was obtained from an ancient cave. After he was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, this method encountered a bottleneck and had little effect on promoting his cultivation.
Lu Changan secretly thought: The resources in the Eastern Region of Daqing are poor and there are too few high-level female cultivators, which limits the development of Tianluo Patriarch’s side sect.
Otherwise, relying on the superb yin and yang dual cultivation method, in places where the civilization of cultivating immortals is more developed, the help should be greater, and there may be some hope of being promoted to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
""Dragon and Phoenix Double Cauldron Method", I will sort out the memory of the secret method in the future. Even if it is not used in this life, it may be able to assist in practice in the next life."
Lu Changan was pressed for time and prioritized sorting out the most important memories.
Especially the opportunity to be promoted to Nascent Soul.
Luckily, the general information about [Tianying Fruit] has been sorted out.
Tianluo Sect does have a secretly cultivated [Tianying Fruit], which is more than a hundred years old.
【天英fruit】can only grow stably on the fourth-level spiritual vein soil.
Tianluo Sect lost the Chen Kingdom too quickly, and the fourth-level Spirit Vein Mountain Gate was destroyed, which delayed the cultivation and growth of this main medicine for birth control.
According to memory information: The [Sky Infant Fruit] is not in the hands of Tianluo Ancestor, and it has not even been brought to the Seven Nations Alliance.
But it is hidden in a secret place on the way, including some precious resources.
That secret treasure house requires the direct bloodline of the Tianluo Ancestor and a token key to open it, otherwise the self-destruction ban will be triggered.
That token key is in the hands of the Xie clan leader. It is the only remaining late-stage Danjie major cultivator of the Xie clan.
The head of the Xie clan was seriously injured in the pursuit of the Blood Spirit Gate. He used the life-saving trump card of the Nascent Soul level to break out of the siege with Sect Leader Wei.
At the same time, Sect Master Wei and the other two descendants of the mid-stage Zhendan each carry the same baby-making auxiliary medicine, which are both fourth-level elixirs and exotic herbs.
Lu Changan had to admit that Patriarch Tianluo was very aware of risk sharing.
…
“[Tian Ying Guo] is not in the Seven Nations Alliance. We still need to find the whereabouts of the Xie clan leader and return again.”
“And the disaster in the future is getting closer and closer, I’m afraid there won’t be enough time to make plans.”
After Lu Changan analyzed it, he sighed with regret and shook his head.
In this world, it is difficult to be perfect. Everything goes as planned, and there will always be gains and losses.
If you are greedy again, the risk is quite high.
Lu Changan decided to give up the [Tian Ying Fruit] and other birth materials.
The decision made that year remains unchanged.
If the Evergreen Gong from the Central Region dares to come over, he will run away directly.
Nearly a year.
He successively received Taiyin Yuye and Ziwu Qingfeng, which is a rare opportunity for ordinary alchemy majors.
Fortunately, Patriarch Tianluo’s trophies brought some surprises to Lu Changan.
There are several fourth-level materials in the space ring.
In addition to herbs, there are several pieces of fourth-level ore, gold and iron materials, which can be used to refine magic weapons, or to strengthen and upgrade quasi-fourth-level puppets.
The green-armored puppet has been upgraded to a complete fourth-level puppet quality, and the materials are almost the same.
These fourth-level materials saved Lu Changan a period of sixty years, or even a hundred years of progress.
The trophies include two Nascent Soul-level magic weapons, which are the best and the best.
Tianluo Sect is a Nascent Soul force that has been passed down for thousands of years. The magic weapon of Zongzong [Wind and Cloud Fan] has been passed down from generation to generation and complements the exercises.
However, controlling the best magic weapon in the early stage of Yuanying consumes a lot of money and is not suitable for long-term or frequent use.
The best magic weapon is more suitable for use in the middle and late stages of Nascent Soul.
It is said that the top Nascent Soul cultivator in Tianheng Continent controls stronger imitation spiritual treasures and can easily kill ordinary Nascent Soul Lords.
Loots below the Nascent Soul level are basically unattractive to Lu Changan who is in the late stage of the Immortal Golden Elixir.
Even if it is crystal condensation pills, pill-forming spiritual objects, level-breaking pills in the pill-forming stage, etc., these types of strategic resources.
Unless it is a third-level longevity pill or a third-level longevity fruit.
Tianluo Patriarch’s trophy does not have a longevity pill, but there is a longevity fruit that has grown to the top level of the third level!
Tianluo Ancestor, as a Yuanying old monster, has taken the third-level longevity pill and plans to cultivate the fourth-level longevity fruit.
If a fourth-level life-extending pill is refined, an ordinary monk can extend his life by at least one dozen years.
Lu Changan kept the third-level top longevity fruit well.
In the future, there may be two usage options:
One, use the evergreen secret technique to promote it to the fourth level longevity fruit.
Second, refine the third-level quality life-extending pill to refresh drug resistance.
In the cave, Lu Changan initially sorted out his memories and trophies.
Then without stopping for a moment, he headed straight to the Jueyuan Forbidden Land thousands of miles away.
It turns out that the location Lu Changan chose to sort out the memory information of Patriarch Tianluo was relatively close to the space node of Tinghai Pavilion.
In case of a sudden risk, Lu Changan can leave Daqing from the space node as soon as possible.
…
Jueyuan Forbidden Land, one of the famous and dangerous forbidden lands in the Seven Nations Alliance.
There is a bottomless abyss here, which is shrouded in strange fog. In addition to irrational beasts and evil spirits, there are also occasional spatial disorders.
The deeper you go, the stronger the strange fog becomes, making it easier to lose direction.
When human monks enter, their spiritual consciousness and mana will continue to be weakened.
In the past tens of thousands of years, there were many Alchemy monks who got lost in the Jueyuan Forbidden Land and never came back.
In the deepest part of the Jue Abyss, even the Nascent Soul stage has been obviously suppressed. There are no normally applicable heavenly materials or earthly treasures in it, and Nascent Soul Master does not want to explore deeply in an unknown and dangerous place.
Two hours later.
A young man in blue robe has entered the forbidden area of Jue Abyss, carefully exploring and sinking under the abyss.
The entrance to the Jue Abyss Forbidden Land is only a few hundred miles in radius. The deeper you go, the wider the space becomes.
The deep and endless leaden gray strange fog gives people a sense of fear of imbalance in deep space.
Fortunately, Lu Changan has the memory path of Zhenjun Chahai.
Chahai Zhenjun studied the records left by his ancestors. At that time, he bumped into the forbidden area of Jueyuan and could not come out.
If it weren’t for the True Lord Yuanying, who had strong spiritual consciousness and senses, the three people back then might have been lost in it.
Fortunately, the location of that space node is not in the deepest part of the abyss.
Along the way, Lu Changan's consciousness was restricted by the strange fog, and he only found a few monks on the periphery. It was more like he was temporarily hiding here to avoid being wanted or in a demonic war.
After entering the deep levels, except for the occasional ferocious beasts and evil spirits, there was no sign of any other monks.
To avoid exposing the location of space nodes, Lu Changan tried his best to avoid the ferocious beasts and evil spirits in the strange fog.
Avoid if you can.
If you can't avoid it, let the puppet clones and rock rats take action, killing them with thunder and erasing any traces.
Lu Changan uses no magic power at all.
Ever since he sensed the approach of the man from Daqing Middle Territory, Lu Changan has almost restricted his magic power and mainly relies on third-level body refining and talismans to act.
Lu Changan is worried that if there is a fight, the Evergreen Golden Elixir will be stimulated to a more precise range by that person.
The Seven Kingdoms Alliance has a vast territory, surpassing that of the Wei Dao Alliance, and there are many health-preserving monks.
Lu Changan wished that the person who locked the "opportunity" in the Seven Kingdoms Alliance would spend more time and energy.
"arrive!"
Half a day later, Lu Changan finally arrived near the space node in Zhenjun Chahai's memory.
The dark brown mountain wall is covered with moss. A cracked mountain crack flows out of a light gray stream, which contains corrosive power and exudes earthly turbidity.
General living monks entering it are like jumping into the water of carrion, there is no way to survive.
Lu Changan looked at it for a moment and took out a third-level sea pearl. A layer of hazy blue light enveloped his body, blocking the light gray water flow.
Follow the erosion stream and drill into the cracks in the mountain wall.
That mountain crevice cannot accommodate adults. Lu Changan used the secret method of body refining to compress the muscles and bones.
After the initial narrowness and tightness, it gradually becomes more open and comfortable inside.
Unconsciously, a corrosive underground river came into Lu Changan's field of vision.
There are intricate underground passages inside, with many branches, making it easy to get lost.
Lu Changan could faintly smell a hint of danger.
There are no traces of living things around here.
The two lives are merged, and the spiritual consciousness is raised to the limit, surpassing most of the early Yuanying stages.
“Slight spatial disturbance.”
Lu Changan looked solemn as he came to a stalactite cave.
He made a secret with his fingers, recited the incantation in a low voice, and cast Tinghai Pavilion's forbidden method.
Buzz!
A layer of black-blue water ripples passed by.
The cramped stalactite crypt in front of you suddenly enlarged the space ten times, and the scene also changed completely.
Those natural stone walls and stalactites are bare, cold and stiff, leaving strange folds, and the creases are strangely smooth and flat.
There is no living thing here, including vegetation.
The center of the stalactite crypt is empty. If there is any spatial disorder, it comes from here. There was a twisted dark blue water whirlpool there, trembling slightly and isolated by the fourth-order formation seal.
Four concentrated black-blue water drops, as deep as the sea, form the foundation of the fourth-order formation, absorbing the surrounding water vapor and earthly evil turbidity.
However, two of the four fourth-level water-suppressing beads that serve as the foundation have become dim or even cracked.
“Fortunately, it has only been more than ten years, and there has been no change. As a fourth-level formation mage, Zhenjun Chahai had reinforced it once when he came here last time.”
Lu Changan came to the twisting dark blue water.
It looks like a water vortex, but it is actually the location of a space node. The entrance to the passage opened by the space water system array is connected to the space node at the other end. In its heyday, it was at least a fourth-level top-level formation.
Lu Changan took out a formation flag and opened the formation seal according to Zhenjun Chahai's method.
Suddenly, the distortion of the dark blue water vortex became more obvious, sending out wisps of spatially chaotic fluctuations to the surrounding area.
Lu Changan has practiced both physical and mental training, and has refined his physical body at the late third level, which can withstand slight spatial distortions.
As long as it is not a space crack, it will not kill you.
For ordinary alchemy monks, even with the protection of magic power and magic weapons, there is still a lot of risk.
Lu Changan is not worried that he will not be able to pass through the space formation channel.
If he couldn't pass, the three people of Chahai Zhenjun would have been dead.
Lu Changan is worried about whether the other end of the space node is safe.
According to Zhenjun Chahai’s memory, the space node on the other side of the great abyss is also in the secret place of the forbidden area. After he escaped from the pursuit of Zhenhai Sixteen Sects, it was determined that no one else knew about it.
Lu Changan came here this time just to make sure it was safe and would not enter immediately.
Observe for a while and wait until the space becomes more stable.
The next step is testing.
Lu Changan successively sent several second- and third-order puppets into the dark blue water whirlpool where the space node was located.
After entering the space channel, the puppet immediately cut off the induction, which was what Lu Changan expected.
He gave the puppet simple instructions in advance to reach the space node at the other end of the formation channel, and then return the same way.
Finally, Lu Changan sent out a third-level high-grade assassin puppet clone.
In order to keep it alive, Lu Changan gave him several third-level high-quality talismans.
The puppet clone is possessed by the peak of the second generation of alchemy. After entering the space channel, although it cannot be accurately controlled, it maintains a vague sense of connection with Lu Changan to know whether it is alive and its general condition.
Lu Changan also gave simple instructions to the puppet clone.
Obtaining the core inheritance of Qianji Sect, Lu Changan practiced the method of cultivating puppet spirits. Now the powerful soul of the puppet clone has cultivated the prototype of puppet spirit, which has rudimentary independent abilities.
Waited for a long time.
There were several dents on the body, and the injured puppet clone, with dim light, returned to Daqing's side.
Behind him, there was only a third-level low-grade puppet that was almost falling apart.
Lu Changan couldn't help but look happy when he received the picture information transmitted by the puppet clone.
Just now, due to the long distance in space, the puppet clones were unable to share their senses synchronously. At this moment, the information feedback was delayed.
“Zhenjun Chahai’s handling of the confidentiality of space nodes is quite safe.”
Lu Changan nodded secretly.
Information feedback from the puppet clone:
The node on the other side of the great abyss has not yet been discovered. The node entrance over there is almost the same as here, and it's pretty stable at the moment.
It’s just that the space formation channel lacks maintenance and has not been completely repaired, making it relatively fragile. When traveling, you will face spatial chaos and slight distortion.
The energy level of the individual creatures that travel cannot be too strong. Otherwise, it will trigger a stronger backlash in the space channel, cause space cracks, and even space collapse.
…
After confirming the reliability of the space node, Lu Changan returned the same way and left the Jueyuan Forbidden Land.
Before leaving Daqing, Lu Changan started two things.
First of all, it would be best if we could know the identity of the person in Daqing Middle Territory.
Lu Changan felt strange about the previous induction out of thin air, and speculated that the man from Daqing Middle Territory might have encountered some trouble when he passed through the Demonic Territory on his way to the Seven Nations Alliance.
The True Lord Yuanying of the Daqing Middle Territory is not an unknown person. If there is a conflict with the Demonic Yuanying, he may get information.
Another thing, the whereabouts of clues about [Tianying Fruit].
Lu Changan didn’t have time to seek out resources for birthing babies such as [Tian Ying Fruit], but he could sell his favors and let others “do it for him”.
No matter how hard it is, the enemy Xie family cannot get it, and there is hope for cultivating the Nascent Soul stage in the future.
Lu Changan is ready to cooperate with Lihuo Palace.
【Tianyingguo】has medicinal properties of more than 100 years.
If it works perfectly, you might be able to let Lihuo Palace "keep it" for you for many years.
When you need it, come back and get it.
Anyway, only Lu Changan currently knows about the space node passages between the two realms.
Theoretically, if a stable space passage can be restored, Lu Changan can even act as a villain between the two major boundaries of Dayuan and Daqing.
However, due to the threat of the Evergreen Gong in the Middle Domain, each space node will be lost each time it travels, accelerating the collapse of the formation channel. This idea is temporarily unrealistic.
…
Three days later.
Seven Nations Alliance, Lihuo Palace New Mountain Gate.
After receiving the summons, Wang Feng, the contemporary elder, rushed back to the mountain gate.
At the core of the quasi-fourth-level spiritual vein, there is a main peak that towers into the clouds, and the aura environment almost reaches the fourth level.
“Ruyan! Senior Brother Nie’s new news is true…”
Wang Feng is stepping on the imitation [Lihuo Gourd]. He has a handsome face and a short beard. He is about thirty years old. He has accumulated more years than before and has the dignity and bearing of a superior.
"Husband, this is the jade box found in my private room. There are restrictions on it that cannot be broken by the alchemy monks."
Wang Feng’s Taoist companion is named Chen Ruyan. She is wearing a navy blue dress and has a classic and elegant temperament.
Wang Feng took the jade box and found that there were nominations on it.
The five big characters "Junior Brother Wang Qinqi" are the most obvious, with neat workmanship and no personal style.
In the lower right corner, there is also a one-word signature: Nie.
The word "Junior Brother Wang" felt strange to Wang Feng. He had not heard this title for several years.
In today's Lihuo Palace, most of the older monks have passed away. As the great elder at the peak of the Immortal Golden Core, he is the strongest and controls the most power.
Even the few alchemy monks who are senior to him are called great elders.
Back then, Nie Yuan claimed to be his senior brother and he was both an immortal golden elixir. His strength crushed him and shocked him.
At that time, Nie Yuan brought three boosts to Lihuo Palace during its trough period, helping Lihuo Palace rebuild the gate and lay the foundation for its revival and prosperity. (Chapter 278, 279)
Today's Lihuo Palace, apart from the absence of True Lord Nascent Soul, has restored most of its past heritage.
“This prohibition…”
Wang Feng took the jade box and found that the restriction was very clever and contained part of the essence of the core inheritance of Lihuo Palace.
Even he can't crack it in a short time.
If the jade box is cracked by force, the jade box will be destroyed automatically.
"Could it be that Senior Brother Nie has reached that level? Or..."
Wang Feng once speculated that Senior Brother Nie Yuan might have merged with Master Lihuo's remnant soul consciousness to inherit part of his legacy and repay his favor.
Buzz!
Wang Feng’s Immortal Golden Elixir magic power had just entered, and the ban on the jade box was automatically broken.
That jade box restriction actually recognized the aura of his technique.
He is the only one in Lihuo Palace who practices the Lihuo Palace Zongzong Cultivation Technique and is at the pinnacle of the Immortal Golden Pill.
In the jade box, there are two items.
A jade slip, a sealed blood bead.
Wang Feng's spiritual consciousness explored the contents of the jade slip, and he couldn't help but be moved, and his expression became solemn.
The jade slips record the secrets of the Xie family of the Tianluo Sect, and explain the details of the injured Tianluo Sect leader and the Xie family chief.
Especially the location of Tianyingguo.
With the strength of Lihuo Palace, tracking the blood bead and attacking unexpectedly, it was not difficult to capture the seriously injured Clan Chief Xie, obtain the token, and open the secret treasure location where the Tianying Fruit was located.
Senior Brother Nie made it clear: Lihuo Palace and Lihuo Palace no longer owe each other the things that happened back then. The purpose of revealing key information this time was to reach an agreement with Wang Feng and make a deal.
Lihuo Palace took advantage of the situation to rob, and all the proceeds from the search, Nie Yuan only wanted "Tian Ying Fruit". The Tianying Fruit still has a hundred years to grow and is entrusted to Wang Feng for safekeeping.
Nie Yuan did not want many other benefits, including Nascent Soul-level precious materials.
If Lihuo Palace keeps his integrity, Nie Yuan will also promise a favor in the future.
Of course, Nie Yuan also considered that Lihuo Palace couldn't help it and was greedy, so he took the Tianying Fruit as his own and used it in advance.
In that case, Wang Feng or Li Huogong will owe Nie Yuan a favor in the future.
Unless Lihuo Palace gives up this opportunity, no information will be borrowed. Otherwise, Nie Yuan will come to "collect debts" in the future.
“Tianyingguo…”
Wang Feng took a deep breath and his expression changed. This is the most critical ingredient of the Infant Transformation Pill.
Even if you take it directly, it will have nearly half of the effect of Yinghua Dan.
He cultivated to the peak of Jindan and faced the Nascent Soul level.
Lihuo Palace worked hard to cultivate him and spent all his inheritance to prepare for his baby to reach 70-80%.
…
Two days later.
A man in a bamboo hat with fake alchemy cultivation left in a hurry from a prosperous high-level fairy city in the Seven Nations Alliance.
Not long ago, he purchased the latest intelligence on the six demonic sects on the front line from the largest intelligence organization of the Seven Nations Alliance.
“The death of True Lord Fulong of the Phantom Palace is suspected to be related to True Lord Aoki from the Central Daqing Territory.”
“At the border of the Demonic Battlefield, the deputy leader of the Seven Nations Alliance personally responded to the wounded Aoki Lord who was being hunted and killed, and treated him as an honored guest.”
"Shenjun Aoki! Are you injured?"
Lu Changan, who was thousands of miles away, felt extremely frightened. The Evergreen Dao Fruit in his body was sealed, and his magic power was not leaked at all.
He felt a warning sign in his heart and made another divination of bad luck.
As a result, the original minor evil was promoted to the medium evil hexagram.
You must know that the Seven Nations Alliance has such a large area and exceeds the Weidao Alliance. The other party has only reached the border, and the disaster is brewing to such an extent.
The so-called injury is probably a disguise.
It gives people the illusion of fighting to the death with the evil spirit Yuanying, being seriously injured, and losing vitality.
Lu Changan no longer hesitated. He put away the puppet clones and quickly returned to the forbidden area of Jueyuan, regardless of the resources such as Tianying Fruit.
Arriving at the stalactite crypt of the space node in one go.
Restore the sealing formation.
Lu Changan performed the third-level late-stage body refining, affixed several amulets on his body, and his body looked like a streamlined swimming fish.
With a "pop" sound, the twisted dark blue water swirled into the space node, causing ripples in the space like water waves.
