Chapter 376 The Road to Nascent Soul (1)
Zixia Peak Cave Mansion, the sleeping hall of the Supreme Elder.
Lu Changan placed Zixia Fairy in his arms on her side on the bed. Since the latter kept hugging her tightly, he had no choice but to sit on the edge of the bed.
Fairy Zixia's personal maid, without squinting her eyes, bowed and retreated, as if she had received some kind of understanding.
Lu Changan looked at Fairy Zixia, who was sleeping quietly, with a slightly rosy face. From the initial clues before, I have guessed most of the truth now.
Fairy Zixia's injuries were not as critical as imagined, and she was left to others to deal with as they pleased.
While Lu Changan was warming up, he again analyzed the situation inside Jiang Ziyan's body.
“Medical properties of yin and yang attributes…”
Lu Changan speculated that Fairy Zixia must have taken a rare and powerful elixir, which was suspected to be the legendary [Yin Yang Life and Death elixir]. Therefore, the toxins remaining in the physical body are very weak and have lost their activity.
In this way, Lu Changan, who has cultivated Changqing Gong and has super poison resistance, is no longer a threat.
Of course, [Tian Centipede Poison] mainly poisons the Nascent Soul. At this moment, most of the poison is concentrated in the Nascent Soul spirit body of Fairy Zixia.
If it is delayed for a long time, the Infant Poison will penetrate deeply and damage the foundation of Nascent Soul, affecting the foundation of future potential, and the probability of promotion to the mid-term Nascent Soul will be greatly reduced.
This is more serious than the result of the Nascent Soul leaving the body directly that day!
If it weren’t for Lu Changan, Dashan Mountain’s plan might have succeeded.
Lu Changan warmed and healed the body and cleaned up the remaining toxins, leaving Jiang Ziyan with no distractions and concentrating all her energy on dealing with the evil poison in the Nascent Soul.
If the body's mana can be restored quickly and fed back to the Nascent Soul, it will help speed up the eradication of Infant Poison.
This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Ziyan left Lu Changan.
Judging from her vision, no one in this sect can compare with Lu Changan in terms of comprehensive treatment and warmth.
“I wonder how effective the Evergreen Gong is in healing the soul or Yuanying?”
An idea came to Lu Changan's mind.
If the evergreen mana alone has no essential difference in healing from the powerful wood-based techniques, it is estimated that it will not be very effective.
As for the secret of longevity, it’s hard to say.
Lu Changan would naturally not make this attempt.
From beginning to end, I didn’t dare to rashly explore Fairy Zixia’s Nascent Soul.
First of all, Nascent Soul is a taboo for true kings.
Secondly, Lu Changan was afraid of being infected by the [Sky Centipede Poison] from the source.
…
Three days later.
Fairy Zixia opened her lavender starry eyes, her snow-porcelain face regained some of its energy.
After three days of conditioning, Jiang Ziyan's body's injuries and poisons have stabilized, and her magic power is running smoothly.
“Senior Sister Jiang, you’re awake.”
Lu Changan looked a little tired and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the two of them were no longer hugging each other, and Lu Changan could finally sit comfortably.
However, when he and Fairy Zixia held their slender, cold hands together, they had already adapted to the delicate and cool touch at first.
During the previous drowsiness, Jiang Ziyan had been hugging him, seemingly instinctively not letting go.
Later, Lu Changan took the initiative to hold her hand and maintained her care. Jiang Ziyan let go of him and lay flat on the bed.
“Junior brother, thank you for your hard work. If you are not around this time, senior sister will not be able to survive this disaster. At least she must give up her body and have her Nascent Soul leave the body.”
Fairy Zixia stared at the man in front of her. She was no longer as noble and unattainable as Yuanying Zhenjun in the past. The look in her eyes seemed to contain the tenderness of an ordinary female cultivator.
“Senior Sister, you are too polite. Junior Brother took action at that time to save himself. If Senior Sister’s infant poison goes deep and brings serious consequences, it would be better for the Nascent Soul to leave the body. Instead, Junior Brother will drag Senior Sister down.”
Lu Changan tried to take back his hand, but Jiang Ziyan did not let go.
The two of them held each other tighter, their fingers intertwined and their eyes facing each other.
At this moment.
The two of them were lying on the hospital bed, smiling; the other was sitting on the bed, whispering comfort. Holding each other's hands, their eyes met from time to time. Like a monk couple in first love.
Lu Changan saw Fairy Zixia's intentions, and both parties had a tacit understanding.
After experiencing life and death and exposing many methods and secrets, Lu Changan could only let nature take its course and accept the progress of this relationship.
In this way, both parties can feel at ease.
The breakthrough in relationship and relationship makes Fairy Zixia feel more secure.
Lu Changan's personal strength is enough to compete with Yuanying monks, and coupled with Diyan Lord, he has the strength to overthrow Yunxia Sect and eat her forcefully.
Even if Lu Changan has not shown any ambition, Fairy Zixia still needs to get closer to her to ensure that she will not change her mind and be won over by outside forces.
Secondly.
After getting along for a long time, Jiang Ziyan admired Xiang Dalong's talent and character very much, although it was not the kind of true love.
As for Lu Changan, he has some appreciation for this magnificent Nascent Soul Lord after spending decades together. In addition to the instinctive attraction to beautiful things, there is also the respect and admiration for noble female cultivators.
After all, the three lives he has experienced have not yet entered the Nascent Soul stage, and his status is lower than Jiang Ziyan.
Zixia Fairy had been attracted to her overtly or covertly before, but this time the secret was exposed, and the two parties had been close for several days. Under the objective reality, Lu Changan, as a normal male cultivator, could not forcibly prevent each other's feelings from warming up and crossing the previous boundaries between superiors and subordinates. .
…
“Dalong possesses such magical powers and has successfully cultivated a fourth-level spiritual pet. In the past, I am afraid he is not the origin of ordinary monks in the past, right? Ziyan has been kept in the dark by you all these years.”
Zhenjun Zixia smiled with a smile that was as beautiful as the world, with a tone that seemed like resentment, exposing the image of an honest person and a country bumpkin monk that Lu Changan had created when he first entered the profession.
“Let Zi Yan laugh. Junior brother, I had difficulties in the past and had no choice but to hide some truths.”
Lu Changan gave a "wry smile" and pretended to hide it.
He was mentally prepared. After revealing some secrets of his strength, he confessed part of the situation to reassure the woman.
“If Dalong has something unspeakable, Zi Yan will never get to the bottom of it.”
Fairy Zixia raised her head, her slim and graceful figure was half lying in Lu Changan's arms, looking considerate and tender.
In this posture, Lu Changan's sight just overlooks Fairy Zixia's undulating, plump and perfect figure.
In fact, in the past few days, the two had a lot of close physical contact.
But at that time, Lu Changan had a doctor's mentality, and he was not allowed to have frivolous or inappropriate thoughts about the superior Nascent Soul Fairy.
At this moment, Lu Changan embraced the Jurchen Jun's noble body as pure as jade, feeling the tight elasticity of the lotus waist, and breathing in the elegant fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose.
"Junior brother's original state is indeed lagging behind Dayuan. Junior brother was born as a casual cultivator and once joined the Foundation Building Family and the Danjie Sect. During this period, he also had some good luck and got the puppet inheritance. His strength is far beyond that of ordinary Danjie sects. Overhaul…”
Zixia Fairy listened quietly. Her dignified and beautiful face was filled with a hint of shyness. Her body and heart, which had been lonely for many years, suddenly felt a trace of restlessness that she had not seen for a long time.
She was born with Tianling roots and became a high-ranking Nascent Soul, and her reputation spread far and wide throughout the Central Region.
It was the first time that she was so gentle with a low-level male cultivator, and she tacitly agreed to the other person's casual play.
"...In the end, the junior brother offended the Yuanying sect and was chased by the True Lord. In a desperate situation, he broke into a forbidden place. Fortunately, he passed through the space crack and accidentally traveled to the Great Abyss. The junior brother can swear that he will never have any objections to the Yunxia Sect and only ask for An environment to practice steadily and break through the Nascent Soul stage.”
Lu Changan hid many details and only gave a general background that was consistent with common sense.
“Dalong’s experience is indeed extraordinary. No wonder he has a strong will. He faced the pursuit of the Yuanying monks that day and remained calm in the face of danger.”
Fairy Zixia felt a lot more relieved after getting the answers to many doubts in her heart.
Indeed, everything over the past few decades has proven that Xiang Dalong was dedicated to practicing hard to advance to the Nascent Soul stage and had no interest in other matters.
“Does Ziyan have any other doubts?”
Lu Changan talked for a long time, his mouth and tongue were a little dry.
He hugged Zhenjun Zixia's lotus waist with one hand, and placed the other hand on the latter's legs and knees to make sure that the wound on the thigh was healed. Under the action of Evergreen Kung Fu and the secret medicine for trauma, the delicate and smooth snow skin was restored to the touch. .
“Zi Yan has one last question.”
Zhenjun Zixia’s starry eyes flashed and she said curiously:
“Looking at the progress of Dalong’s cultivation, he must be quite old, but he is trying his best to obtain the Nascent Soul. May I ask, how sure is Dalong of forming the Nascent Soul?”
Facing this question, Lu Changan pondered for a moment and responded:
“Actually, my junior brother’s chance background is not inferior to that of the true disciples of the Yuanying sect, and the quality of the elixir is half-step to the golden elixir. Coupled with the planning over the years, I should be 30 to 40% sure of attacking the Yuanying sect.”
“Thirty or four percent?”
Fairy Zixia secretly thought, this confidence is not low, more than most of the alchemy monks.
Even with the Immortal Golden Elixir, the success rate of conceiving a baby is only about 50% if the timing of the technique is good.
Besides, Lu Changan is not young, he is already over 370 years old.
It seems that after the breakthrough in the relationship, Xiang Dalong really knew everything about her.
…
After confession.
The two seem to have opened up their hearts, and their newly warmed relationship seems to have become stronger.
In the following days, Lu Changan warmly took care of Fairy Zixia and became even more comfortable.
Jiang Ziyan spent half the time in trance, trying her best to resolve the infant poison in the Nascent Soul; in reality, the body of the body was fully taken care of by Lu Changan.
The other half of the time, the two of them were affectionate to each other, or had endless conversations and discussions.
What makes Fairy Zixia gratified is that Lu Changan's vision and cognition are completely comparable to his own in the Nascent Soul stage.
There is no barrier to getting along with each other, and they can promote each other in discussions.
In the care of the changing of the sun and the moon.
Lu Changan is extremely familiar with the legal body of True Monarch Zixia, but he is not yet ready to be honest with him.
“Although Zi Yan has resisted the deep invasion of infant poison, it may take three years to completely eradicate it and restore it to a perfect state.”
While taking care of her, Fairy Zixia revealed her true situation.
Much better than Lu Changan expected.
On the one hand, thanks to the preparations made by Zixia Fairy, she possesses the [Yin Yang Life and Death Pill], which protects the origin of the Nascent Soul in time. Later, during the detoxification, a variety of precious materials and secret medicines were used.
Secondly, Lu Changan’s Evergreen Gong takes care of and nourishes the body, allowing the body to recover faster, so that Zixia Fairy can fight against infant poison with all its strength.
"Zi Yan, you are out of danger. In the next three years, junior brother will come to Zixia Peak every seven days, which will not affect your foundation."
“Since coming back, Junior Brother has not been with Lord Diyan yet.”
Lu Changan finally found an excuse to get rid of Fairy Zixia's dependence and retain her.
He also needs to practice cultivation and prepare to have a baby.
“Elder Xiang, please walk slowly.”
The maid knelt down and saluted, as she did to the former True Lord Yunlan, and watched him leave.
Get out of the cave.
Lu Changan breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but savor the moist lingering fragrance between his lips and teeth.
When we "separated" just now, Zixia Fairy was very attached to her, as if she was worried that once she let go, her support would be gone forever.
On Jurchen Jun's bed, the two kissed each other for a long time before Lu Changan was able to leave.
“Elder Xiang…Elder Xiang.”
Outside the cave, a man's voice interrupted Lu Changan's aftertaste.
Hu Ang lowered his eyebrows and bowed obediently, as if walking on thin ice, not daring to express his dignity.
“Xiao Hu, are you still outside the door?”
Lu Changan looked surprised and glanced at him, thinking deeply.
Previously, Hu Ang watched helplessly as he carried the noble and aloof Fairy Zixia into the cave and stayed there for seven days before leaving.
Involving the privacy of the Supreme Elder, if this kind of thing spreads out, it will definitely cause an uproar. For him who is guarding in front of the cave, the situation will naturally be very dangerous.
“Master told me before to ask the disciples to guard the door.”
Hu Ang answered honestly, facing Xiang Dalong who was so proud of himself at this moment, he didn't even dare to have any evil thoughts in his heart.
“Well, you go down and have a rest.”
Lu Changan knew that this son was a smart man, so he waved his hand, and the latter left as if he had been granted amnesty.
Lu Changan is too lazy to control speech.
Previously, Fairy Zixia let him carry her into the cave, and that was intentional.
The Supreme Elder was injured, and Lu Changan personally took care of him for seven days and seven nights, preventing other monks from visiting him.
Under this fact, it is impossible to block outside speculation and discuss privately.
Zhenjun Zixia is probably eager to make this matter public, hoping to confirm the couple's relationship and bind Lu Changan to Yunxia Sect.
After all, True Lord Yunlan has fallen for many years, and Fairy Zixia, who is single, has scored twice and has no moral burden.
For the benefit of the sect, joining forces with Xiang Dalong is a reasonable development in the eyes of high-level outside monks.
…
Leaving Zixia Peak, Lu Changan came to the fourth-level spiritual vein underground palace where Lord Diyan was.
Zhizhi!
Diyan Lord transformed into a rat demon the size of a native dog and came to Lu Changan's side, rubbing against him as if he smelled something and drooling uncontrollably.
“You boy, you have a really sharp nose.”
Lu Changan smiled and took out the huge corpse of the quasi-fourth-order monster "Red Flame Serpent" from the storage bag.
Half an hour later, the Earth Rock Rat assisted Lu Changan and disposed of the body parts of the Red Flame Serpent.
The quasi-fourth-level Red Flame Serpent is still of earth-grade blood, and its snake skin, poison sac, snake gallbladder, great elixir, etc. are all precious materials.
There was a lot of snake meat and blood, so Lu Changan rewarded Diyan Lord with a lot of it as snacks and animal food.
Over the years, the Yunxia Sect has provided Diyan Lord with all his supplies, but Lu Changan, the master, has rarely worried about it.
Of course, the supported Diyan Lord, as the sect’s sacred beast, also has the obligation to guard the sect.
Di Yanjun coveted the Red Flame Serpent’s semi-finished Essence Pill.
This great elixir is a rare tonic for those in the early stages of the fourth level, and can promote cultivation.
Lu Changan did not agree for the time being.
This elixir may be used as a trading item in the future and can also be used to refine many precious elixirs.
The Earth Rock Rat has been living comfortably in Yunxia Sect for a long time in recent years. He has been supported by others and basically only needs food to open his mouth. He has lost his former wildness and diligence.
This big pill cannot be fed into its mouth easily.
“By the way, give the big turtle some snake meat and blood.”
Lu Changan ordered.
Di Yanjun agreed and took a small portion of snake meat and blood to the secret hall further down the underground palace.
In one of the secret halls with heavy restrictions, the Xuan Shui Turtle was guarding next to the "Xuan Tian Gourd Vine".
Compared to before leaving Daqing, the young shoots of the Xuantian Gourd Vine planted in the fourth-level spiritual veins are now stronger than they were a few decades ago.
Since taking a large amount of innate turbid energy, the bloodline of Xuan Shui Turtle has been greatly improved, and the breed has also undergone qualitative changes.
This turtle has been promoted to the heavenly rank, breaking the shackles of the Xuanshui turtle species, and its cultivation level is not far from the late third level.
Lu Changan observed for a moment that the Xuantian Gourd Vine was growing steadily and gently, just like the progress of his Evergreen Skill.
…
The next day, Lu Changan went back to his Qingluan Peak Cave and gave some advice on Xiao Qingshan's practice.
As Lu Changan’s only confidant in the sect and the chief steward of the Dongfu, Xiao Qingshan’s treatment and resources in the Yunxia Sect are no different from those of the true disciples in the sect.
The extraordinary yin and yang side talent, the "Dragon and Phoenix Ding Ding Law" given by Lu Changan, has a cultivation qualification compared to the spirit root, the actual cultivation speed, and does not lag behind the real disciple.
Over the years, Xiao Qingshan and Lu Changan have become more and more familiar with each other.
In a certain dream, the vague figure of a man in white appeared, but the mystery of the womb was not solved after all, and he recalled the "Li Erqing" in his previous life.
Lu Changan occasionally pays attention to Xiao Qingshan's cultivation status, hoping that the latter will advance to the alchemy stage in the future and make new progress in the secret of reincarnation.
A few days after socializing.
Lu Changan began to practice with great concentration again, occasionally using new materials to refine the fourth-level puppets and strengthen them.
“Now, I have basically gathered together the resources for childbirth, and there are at most a few reinforcement points.”
Lu Changan was in a very peaceful mood at the moment.
Your longevity is long, and the resources for having a baby are basically available, so there is nothing to worry about.
There are one or two points to strengthen the infant resources.
First of all, the more excellent spiritual things that form a baby, the better.
Baby-forming spiritual objects with different attributes come from various strange objects in the world, and the benefits can be superimposed.
This is a high requirement for excellence and is not a decisive factor, so there is no need to force it.
Second, the heart robs the protector.
The Shangqing Dan that Lu Changan possesses is not a superior spiritual object that protects the heart.
However, the "Evergreen Gong of Ancient Trees" has a bonus to the state of mind.
This is the spiritual sedimentation effect achieved through gentle cultivation and the aura of long years.
This kind of mental state bonus gives Lu Changan a better chance of winning than monks of the same level when facing a mental calamity.
In addition, Lu Changan has the memory experience of the fourth life "Master Lihuo" successfully having a baby.
This does not include the memories and experiences of Patriarch Tianluo and Zhenjun Chahai. It’s just that the latter two cannot be directly transformed into real experience and insights, but they can also be used for reference.
“When Jiang Ziyan’s infant poison is eradicated, I will travel and go to the Alchemy Alliance to refine the ‘Infant Pill’.”
Lu Changan quickly formulated the final plan for the road to Yuanying.
…
Two or three years passed by in a blink of an eye.
Three years ago, Fairy Zixia was attacked, which did not cause much disturbance in Daewoo.
Dashan took action only briefly, leaving no direct evidence and no high-level monks to testify, so the matter was left undisclosed.
Yuanying monks cannot fight without reason. It is an explicit rule of Dayu Kingdom.
However, there is no ironclad evidence of the secret methods, and there are no casualties. Daewoo will not investigate strictly, and most of them turn a blind eye.
What's more, Fairy Zixia rejected the royal family's marriage and overtures. The Dayu royal family will not give any preferential treatment or protection to the Yunxia Sect.
…
Unknowingly, Lu Changan’s age reached 373 years old.
There are only the last seven years left to reach the peak of elixir formation.
In the past two or three years, he went to Zixia Cave every seven days, and his relationship with Jiang Ziyan became increasingly harmonious. They were sometimes gentle and talked about the great road.
Even though the relationship continues to heat up, Lu Changan has not broken through the last layer of the relationship.
Fairy Zixia, as the Nascent Soul Lord, has her own nobility and reserve, and will not take the initiative to ask for help. She is eager to break through the last hurdle. That is a sign of losing her status.
Lu Changan knew that if he was promoted to Yuanying in the future, he would not be able to stay in Dayuan for a long time and die in Yunxia Sect.
If the relationship with Fairy Zixia reaches the level of a Taoist couple...it will be difficult to cut off this relationship in the future.
With Jiang Ziyan’s intelligence, it is not difficult to guess some of Lu Changan’s concerns.
Three years ago, Lu Changan's answer on his return from Yuntian City had revealed that he would return to his hometown after being promoted to Nascent Soul.
As for whether he will return to Yunxia Sect after returning to his hometown, only God knows.
…
The main peak is the cave house and the training room.
Phew!
Lu Changan put away the Evergreen Technique, and the meaning of the reincarnation of time around him, the green vitality floating in the air, was slowly disappearing.
In front of him, floating in front of him, was a longevity fruit that was cultivated not long ago and promoted to the fourth level.
“With this fourth-level longevity fruit, Master Le will be able to refine the fourth-level longevity pill. Not only can it be used for oneself, but it can also be traded for resources to strengthen the baby.”
With a smile on his face, Lu Changan sealed the fourth-level longevity fruit in a jade box.
In the past three years, he spent several years of life to cultivate this third-level top longevity fruit that had been growing for many years to the fourth level.
According to previous estimates, if he takes a fourth-level life-extending pill, he can extend his life by more than a hundred years.
“Everything is ready.”
Lu Changan took a long breath, stood up and left the cave.
In the last seven years, the journey to the Nascent Soul, including traveling and refining elixirs, is not a short one.
Before leaving, he wanted to ask Fairy Zixia for instructions.
Since he has been away from the clan for a long time this time, he will take away Lord Diyan, Xuan Shuigui and Xuantian Gourd.
