Chapter 385 The ironclad reason
The powerful spiritual pressure in the middle stage of Nascent Soul far exceeds any True Lord Lu Changan has faced in this life.
He was surprised and doubtful. The last time he saw this woman was thirty or forty years ago, when he and Jing Wufeng teamed up to fight the demonic Stone Heart Dragon.
At that time, Zhenjun Mingshui had not seen Lu Changan’s true face, and he was still in the early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation.
This appearance is already in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, so it seems like there is some chance.
Is it the time when the Stone Heart Dragon's lair was discovered?
Or is there another gain in the ancient Youdian Palace?
Over the years, the only news about Zhenjun Mingshui is that he entered the Ancient Nether Palace, but his presence was very low, and he had not yet advanced to the middle stage of Nascent Soul at that time.
“Fellow Taoist Ming Shui is so respectful, Xiang will bear it in mind.”
Lu Changan looked unhappy and his tone was lukewarm.
Neither broke out on the spot nor deliberately held back, and his reaction was expected by everyone.
The gift given by Lord Mingshui just now was obviously a test; if it were a new Nascent Soul with a slightly weaker magical power, he would probably be embarrassed in public.
Lu Changan and Fairy Zixia were naturally displeased by such offensive and rude remarks.
However, as a middle-stage Nascent Soul Emperor, Ming Shui Zhenjun has the qualifications to be arrogant and has the support of the Zhenhai Sixteenth Sect.
"Xiang Zhenjun's words are serious. I heard that Taoist friend Xiang has a close relationship with Jingtianjun. Jingtianjun's magical powers are not inferior to those in the mid-Yuan Ying stage. I think Xiang Zhenjun's strength is not far behind."
Zhenjun Mingshui smiled at Yan Yan. After the temptation, he did not take any further action.
Xiang Dalong’s reaction was not abnormal. As a new Nascent Soul, her magic power is slightly stronger than she expected.
“It’s impressive to fellow Taoist Mingshui! Xiang is just an ordinary Yuanying monk. I met Lord Jing Tianzhen back then because of the deal of refining puppets.”
Lu Changan's tone was slightly gentler, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Oh I got it."
Zhenjun Mingshui seemed to believe most of it, and then sat down at the Nascent Soul Ceremony like a normal guest.
Zhenjun Zixia breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes met with Lu Changan's, with the intention of asking.
“I don’t know this fellow Taoist Ming Shui, maybe it’s because of Lord Jing Tian’s grudge…”
Lu Changan shook his head slightly and explained via voice transmission.
Zhenjun Mingshui mentioned "Jingzhenzhen", and Lu Changan couldn't help but make some guesses.
While hunting the demonic Stone Heart Dragon, Jing Wufeng was petrified and used secret methods to break free and reveal his true form.
Although there was a huge illusory formation to cover it up, during the fierce battle, the formation was not flawless, and it was possible that True Monarch Ming Shui could spy on the blurry scene.
That’s all.
A period of time ago, Jing Wufeng first came to the Great Abyss through a space crack, but the "exotic aura" was not eliminated immediately. He once fought with monsters and was chased by the demonic Stone Heart Dragon, which caused quite a stir.
Zhenjun Mingshui once hunted down Zhenhai Chahai and investigated the ruins of the Tinghai Pavilion treasure house. He would never ignore clues such as visitors from foreign lands.
What's more, Jing Wufeng later became famous in the battle at Ancient Youdian, which was related to the clues about the fake Lingbao. It can be said to be very high-profile.
Lu Changan's biggest concern is that Mingshui Zhenjun knows or speculates about the existence of the transmission channel and the ruins of Tinghai Pavilion from some clues in Tinghai Pavilion's books.
“Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Jing has a stronger sense of presence and many doubts, so he is at the forefront.”
Lu Changan breathed a sigh of relief after analyzing the reason.
If True Lord Ming Shui had set his sights on him, he would have come to his door long ago.
Now, Lu Changan has been promoted to Yuanying and has a good reputation. With the help of True Lord Red Snake, he has entered the sight of True Lord Mingshui.
With True Lord Red Snake and True Lord Mingshui getting involved, Lu Changan couldn't help but think of the small flaws he had left back then.
Diyan Lord before he was promoted to the Demon King of Transformation.
Lu Changan used the purified dragon blood to trade [Xuanxin Beast Pill] with True Lord Red Snake. Without this elixir, Mr. Diyan may not be able to survive the inner demon tribulation and successfully transform.
At that time, the fourth generation of Lu Changan came, pretending to be a Nascent Soul monk, with a very different aura, but the Red Snake Lord never saw through it.
Dayuan belongs to the state boundary near the sea, and the source of dragon blood is mainly sea dragons.
The real Lord Red Snake and Lord Mingshui were in the Ancient Youdian Palace, and they probably got to know each other later.
…
“Fellow Taoist Shura, can you detect something unusual about this person?”
After Ming Shui Zhenjun sat down, he closed his eyes to rest, and actually communicated with the simple oil lamp in the storage props.
The base of the simple oil lamp is made of soul-nourishing wood. In the halo of the oil lamp, there is a ball of miserable blue broken ghost, which is the remnant soul of "Shura Ghost Lord".
“There’s something wrong with this person.”
The divided soul of Shura Ghost King affirmed.
"As the master of Stone Heart Dragon, I once had a spiritual contract relationship and am very familiar with the aura of its bloodline. I just used a secret technique to sense the faint aura of Shixinlong's bloodline on this person. That is to say, fellow Taoist Mingshui was close to me, and I was able to sense it. "
“Oh? Has that big dragon noticed your secret of sensing and alerted the snake?”
Zhenjun Mingshui confirmed.
"Haha, as a ghost cultivator at the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul, even if it is soul division, the subtle secrets of the ghost way are difficult to detect in the early Nascent Soul stage. What's more, fellow Taoist Mingshui tried to test it, so that kid was forced to protect himself and had no time to care. "
Sura Ghost Lord said confidently.
At the time when he was at his strongest, he even slightly injured the great monk Yuanying. In the end, he almost lost his life at a heavy cost and escaped the pursuit of the great monk, thus becoming famous in one battle.
However, the heavy cost of that battle also paved the way for his subsequent misfortune.
“What does the ghost king think of this person?”
"As a new Nascent Soul, Xiang Dalong is most likely an accomplice of Jing Wufeng. According to True Lord Red Snake, this person also has a puppet military formation that can contain the early Nascent Soul. In the early years, Jing Wufeng got the favor of Xiang Dalong. With the help of the fourth-level formation, it is indeed possible to threaten Shi Xinlong."
Asura Ghost Lord analyzed the split soul.
Zhenjun Mingshui agreed: "Well, Lord Diyan should have obtained Shi Xinlong's soul elixir and promoted his transformation."
"Xiang Dalong helped Jing Wufeng a lot, including the opportunity in the Ancient You Palace. This son should have received some dragon blood materials. Even if it is refined and purified, the essence of the dragon blood has not changed, and the induction at a relatively close distance cannot be concealed. Fellow Taoist Shura.”
After analyzing this, Zhenjun Mingshui felt excited. Maybe he could catch the big fish Jing Wufeng through Xiang Dalong's clue.
Jing Wufeng, as a visitor from a foreign land, the biggest winner of the Ancient You Palace is the lucky one.
This person has magical powers in space and is good at digging for relics and treasures. He may have missed the True Lord Chahai who fled to a foreign land, or even obtained part of the legacy of Tinghai Pavilion.
Zhenjun Mingshui could not defeat Jing Wufeng, who was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul and was good at space escape.
However, Jing Wufeng offended many Yuanying old monsters in the Ancient You Palace. After years of investigation and calculation by the major forces in the Central Region, it was only in recent years that it was identified as a key clue to the whereabouts of the fake Lingbao.
Zhenjun Mingshui can definitely use his strength to fight. If it doesn't work, he can also move reinforcements from the "Kurosawa Sect" where he is.
However, the first cultivator of the Kurosawa Sect is stronger than the newly promoted Ming Shui Zhenjun who is in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. In order to avoid losing her dominance, she would not easily ask the sect for help.
"Judging from the test just now, Xiang Dalong's technique is not Tinghaige's method."
Zhenjun Mingshui's thoughts turned around and he felt that Lu Changan, Zhenjun Chahai and Tinghai Pavilion should have nothing to do with each other.
It is somewhat possible that a lucky person like Jing Wufeng possesses spatial powers and is confirmed to be a visitor from a foreign land.
"Fellow Shura, are you confident that you can help me capture Xiang Dalong?"
"I have nourished you for many years, but now I can only activate the secret skills of the ghost path at the early stage of Yuanying. If Xiang Dalong does not come out of the sect, there is no chance. Unless this son does not take Diyan Lord and goes out alone, then there will be no chance. feasibility."
Sura Ghost Lord is truthful.
Yunxia Sect has three major Nascent Soul combat powers, and coupled with the fourth-level formation, it is no match for them in the middle Nascent Soul stage.
At the Nascent Soul Ceremony, most of the Nascent Soul Lords present had good relations with the Yunxia Sect, or were neutral, let alone the timing.
“If fellow Taoist Mingshui wants to increase the chance of winning, it’s best to continue to look for nourishment for the spirit path for me. When the secret skills of the ghost path reach a higher level, you can shake and suppress this son’s Nascent Soul..."
Shura Ghost Lord made another bewildering suggestion.
Back then, in the lair of Shixinlong, he fell into the hands of True Lord Mingshui and was tortured. Later, he told Lord Shura Ghost about a treasure spot left in the forbidden area of the Central Territory, which gave True Lord Mingshui a great opportunity.
Under his guidance, Zhenjun Mingshui participated in the Ancient You Palace and made great gains.
With all kinds of help and showing his value, True Lord Ming Shui helped him cultivate and restore part of his ghostly cultivation.
…
Zhenjun Mingshui is the only mid-stage Nascent Soul on the field. The communication between her and Shura Ghost Monarch’s souls is difficult for early-stage Nascent Soul monks to detect.
However, the layman in green clothes not far away looked at the Ming Shui Zhenjun who was resting with his eyes closed. There was a trace of strangeness in his eyes like the mist of the abyss.
“Ahem! Zhiwei, come with me for a walk around.”
Zhenjun Iron Suan stood up with a cough, and accompanied by Princess Zhiwei, looked at the scenery of Yunxia Sect.
The Nascent Soul Ceremony lasted for three days. Many guests wandered and visited near the peak, as long as they did not enter the sect's restricted areas.
As a fourth-level divination master, Tie Shunzhenjun is not just a simple observer. He can read Qi, survey Feng Shui, and understand the general trend of a sect's luck.
As a Yuanying sect that has been passed down for thousands of years, the Yunxia Sect’s Ancestral Hall also has celestial secrets, mainly to prevent outsiders from inferring the sect’s secrets.
Half an hour later.
Zhenjun Mingshui and Zhenjun Red Snake left Yunxia Sect.
Watching the direction in which True Lord Ming Shui leaves.
The True Lord of Iron Calculation used his hexagram power and grabbed the void with his palm.
brush!
An iron hexagram sign emerged.
On the hexagram sign, mysterious light circulates and outlines a line of ancient tadpole writing, which outsiders do not recognize at all.
Tie Suan Zhenjun looked thoughtful after reading the contents on the hexagram sign.
Princess Zhiwei was not surprised by this scene, she just asked in confusion:
"Why don't you make predictions about Xiang Dalong, but make predictions about the situation of Zhenjun Mingshui and the two of them?"
She knew the mission of Zhenjun Tie Suan's trip and came to cooperate with him.
“Ahem! What do you think about that kid? I still want to live a few more years.”
Tie Suan Zhenjun shook his head slightly and sighed.
He had no choice but to start from the side.
Princess Zhiwei was surprised: "Xiang Dalong is a newly promoted Nascent Soul, why can't we calculate it?"
“This Lord Xiang has at least many divination objects, which I can still feel. There may be other treasures that can shield the secrets of heaven.”
"Furthermore, he has the destiny layout of another divination master, which makes his heavenly secrets deep and turbid. Coupled with the realm of Nascent Soul, his luck is strong. If divination is forced, my body and bones will not be able to withstand it."
Tie Suan Zhenjun smiled and explained the reason.
Diviners who forcefully peek into the heavens will inevitably have to pay a price.
Shortage of lifespan is a common disease.
The divination method cultivated by the True Master of Iron Suan has reduced the harm of "life loss" by several percent, which is really remarkable.
But the corresponding price is that the body is always weak and unable to have sex.
“Is there actually a divination master behind Xiang Dalong?”
Princess Zhiwei couldn't help but be surprised.
The art of divination is difficult to cultivate, and the difficulty of advancing to the fourth level of divination master is much higher than that of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
“Although that person is newly promoted to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, it is estimated that the resistance is quite large. Fortunately, I have gained a little bit, which is enough for me to see part of the situation clearly.”
Hearing this, Princess Zhiwei was very curious. She asked again, but Zhenjun Tie Shuan smiled and did not answer, and took her back to the venue of the Nascent Soul Ceremony.
…
Two days later.
The Nascent Soul Ceremony came to an end, and most of the Nascent Soul Lord present left midway.
Only Master Le and Zhenjun Tie Suan did not leave.
Master Le did not leave for another reason.
The Iron Lord Zhenjun has not left yet, which makes Lu Changan worried.
However, Tie Suan Zhenjun did not act offensively in the past two days, and even showed kindness in the middle of the process and took the initiative to toast him with a glass of wine.
Tie Suan Zhenjun was in poor health, so he only had one glass of wine with Lu Changan during the ceremony. This was considered a great honor.
“Ahem! Xiang Zhenjun, can you talk to me alone?”
Before leaving, the Iron Lord Zhenjun suggested.
"good."
Lu Changan hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
As a representative of the royal family, Mr. Iron Suan Zhenjun has a golden tongue. Since he has taken the initiative to express his goodwill, it is not appropriate to offend him.
“Xiang Zhenjun came into contact with that uninvited guest, ahem...did you notice anything unusual about her?”
“Abnormal? I didn’t notice it.”
"But this woman seems to have a prejudice against Xiang, probably because of Jing Tianjun."
Lu Changan shook his head and said truthfully.
His magical power and divine consciousness are not as good as those of Zhenjun Mingshui, so he really doesn't see any problems.
“That Taoist friend has a vague aura of ghosts in his body.”
Tie Suan Zhenjun revealed.
“The breath of the ghost!”
Lu Changan's thoughts turned and many associations occurred in an instant.
The original owner of the demonic Stone Heart Dragon that was hunted that year was Shura Ghost Lord, but he has been missing for many years.
That Shura Ghost Lord came from the "Huangtian Ghost Palace" in the Northern Territory, and belonged to the first level of strength below the Yuanying Great Monk.
And that True Lord Ming Shui took the opportunity to pick up the leak and went to Shi Xinlong's lair.
“Thank you sir for the reminder.”
Lu Changan bowed his hands and thanked him.
This information is very important to Lu Changan.
If True Monarch Mingshui and Ghost Monarch Shura get together, the threat is enough for them to take seriously.
You must know that Lu Changan still has the purified dragon blood of Shi Xinlong.
“Ahem! If Xiang Zhenjun is sincerely grateful, can you answer my next question?”
Tie Suan Zhenjun's eyes flashed and he said with a half-smile.
Lu Changan choked on his words, was startled, and reluctantly said:
“Sir, if you have any questions, Xiang is willing to answer them as long as they do not involve personal confidentiality.”
“I have only one question, which state boundary outside Dayuan does Xiang Zhenjun come from?”
Tie Suan Zhenjun's eyes are bright, giving people a strange feeling of insight into the soul.
This problem was unexpected and made Lu Changan wary.
He comes from outside the Great Abyss, and even in the Yunxia Sect, it is classified.
Back then, Lu Changan only told Fairy Zixia, who also promised to keep it a secret.
Zhenjun Zixia told Taoist companion Yunlan at most, but the rest didn't know.
“Xiang is from Kunzhou.”
Lu Changan thought for a while and decided to give a "real" answer.
He was vaguely aware that this issue was important to the royal family and it was best not to avoid it.
“Oh? Kunzhou? That’s not too far away.”
Zhenjun Iron Calculator stared at Lu Changan's expression. As a fourth-level divination master, he faced the opponent directly and basically judged that the latter was not lying.
That’s right, Lu Changan came from Dakun’s immortal cultivating family in his previous life, and his name was Xu Xuan.
Subsequently, Tie Suan Zhenjun chatted about the customs and customs of Kunzhou, and Lu Changan responded easily.
Zhenjun Tie Suan smiled, and the purpose of this visit to Yunxia Sect was basically achieved.
Just exclude Xiang Dalong from being the heel of the Great Jin Dynasty.
“How much information does Sir know about the True Lord Ming Shui?”
Lu Changan took the opportunity to inquire about information.
The Daewoo royal family, as one of the dominant forces in the Central Region, has a fourth-level grandmaster and has many sources of intelligence.
"Ming Shui Zhenjun came from the 'Black Ze Sect', one of the sixteen sects in Zhenhai. This woman actively hunted down the remnants of Tinghai Pavilion and excavated some of the inherited treasures. A hundred years ago, this woman chased and killed Zhenhai Zhenjun, the remnant of Tinghai Pavilion. ', the latter has disappeared. In the past hundred years, True Lord Mingshui has often wandered around the forbidden areas of the Central Territory, and may have obtained some new clues..."
The Iron Calculator has the relevant information at his fingertips. Lu Changan suspected that this person might be in charge of the intelligence department in the royal family.
"... Thirty years ago, True Monarch Ming Shui entered the Ancient Nether Palace and was one of the hidden winners. At that time, two Nascent Soul Stages were fighting for a spiritual object of heaven and earth. As a result, this female oriole was behind and picked it up. It’s a bargain. Mingshui Zhenjun’s promotion to the middle stage of Nascent Soul may be related to this harvest.”
Tie Suan Zhenjun added the situation of Ming Shui Zhenjun in recent years.
After hearing this, Lu Changan was secretly speechless.
This woman actually picked up leaks more than once and still sat there to reap the benefits in the ancient secluded palace?
Lu Changan had never heard of the relevant inside information before, and only knew the truth from the royal family’s intelligence network.
…
“Sir, do you know the whereabouts of Jing Tianjun?”
Before saying goodbye, Lu Changan asked curiously.
Over the years, the whereabouts of Jing Wufeng have not been heard in the Central Territory.
Tie Suan Zhenjun coughed and was silent for a few breaths. He couldn't help but look at Lu Changan.
That expression seems to be saying, you just answered my one question, how much more information do you want for free?
Lu Changan felt a little embarrassed and made a haha.
“Jing Wufeng is suspected of leaving the Central Territory and hunting monsters in the coastal waters of the Eastern Territory. The information cannot be kept true.”
After Zhenjun Tie Shuan finished speaking, he waved his sleeves to say goodbye and left Yunxia Sect.
“This boy, if it weren’t for your good luck...”
Above the clouds, Lord Tie Shuang shook his head and couldn't help but smile.
The reason why he treats Lu Changan well is because he got side confirmation through the divination of True Lord Mingshui and True Lord Red Snake.
Indeed, it would be too expensive for him to divine Lu Changan directly.
However, the True Lord of Iron Calculation can divine the enemies of Lu Changan.
Even though he couldn't see the whole picture, he could catch a certain trend. The fortune of Lord Mingshui reached its peak, and there were faint signs of prosperity and decline.
It can be seen from this that Xiang Dalong, as his opponent, is not a good person because of his unpredictable nature, and he is even less suitable to offend than Zhenjun Mingshui.
…
After the Nascent Soul Ceremony, Lu Changan entertained Master Yue and his granddaughter Yue Qingni at Yunlan Peak.
It turns out that Lu Changan had another agreement with Master Le, asking him to help refine the fourth-level life-extending pill.
The third-level top longevity fruit brought from Daqing was cultivated for decades. Later, he was born through the evergreen secret technique of life-saving, which greatly increased the growth rate, and then broke through to the fourth level.
Other materials for the longevity pill were collected by Lu Changan. Not only by individuals, but also through redemption from the Yunxia Sect's treasure house and through the release of sect tasks.
“Fourth level longevity fruit, passing year.”
Master Le checked the materials and was quite surprised that Lu Changan could produce the complete materials for the fourth-level longevity pill.
The most rare one is the fourth-level longevity fruit, which can extend your life by several decades if taken alone, and is worth more than the Huaying Dan.
“Once I have adjusted the earth fire and formation in the cave, I can start refining the longevity pill.”
Master Le did not ask for remuneration and directly accepted the entrustment.
Lu Changan is looking forward to it. He takes the longevity pill, and the effect is twice as good as that of ordinary monks, and the drug resistance will only gradually decrease.
Back then, the first third-level life-extending pill he took could extend his life by sixty years.
Taking the fourth-level life-extending pill can extend your life for at least a hundred years.
Increased life expectancy can increase the magic power of Evergreen Gong. If one takes two or more fourth-level life-extending pills, one's mana in the Nascent Soul stage may be significantly increased by greatly extending one's life.
…
While Master Le was preparing to refine the alchemy, Lu Changan analyzed and calculated the related crises brought about by True Monarch Ming Shui.
However, he has not yet been promoted to the fourth level of divination master, and at most he can be considered to be the fourth level. He only feels that the heavenly secrets have great resistance and are full of fog.
Zhenjun Mingshui is in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, so it is difficult to predict the specific situation.
Lu Changan could only confirm repeatedly that there were no loopholes in the matter of Tinghai Pavilion. Even if there is, it is isolated in Daqing and has not been brought to Dayuan.
“The transaction of dragon blood with True Monarch Red Snake back then did leave some flaws. However, now that Lord Diyan and I have reached the Nascent Soul level, the transaction that concealed our identities back then is no longer relevant.”
Lu Changan has been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage. Many secrets that he once held are no longer worried about being exposed.
Even if the Evergreen Skill is known to others, it is not considered a shocking secret when it reaches the Nascent Soul level.
In all realms of Tianheng Continent, there are definitely more than one or two brothers who practice Evergreen Gong.
Only the secrets related to Tinghai Pavilion and Xuantian Huteng must not be exposed.
Make sure that there are no omissions in the general direction, Lu Changan looks at the present.
There is a doubt in Zhenjun Tiesuan's previous inquiry.
Without any evidence, how could the royal family and the powerful emperor know that he came from an outside world?
Lu Changan, as a divination master, knows that it is difficult for divination to make predictions out of thin air. It is best to have a clue medium, otherwise the accuracy will be greatly reduced.
The most important thing is that Lu Changan, as a divination expert, has many strange objects and is extremely resistant to divination. This is a secret that outsiders do not know.
It was only after Tiesuan Zhenjun came into contact with him that he learned about this situation.
Thinking of this, Lu Changan visited True Monarch Zixia and asked about related matters.
Jiang Ziyan replied: "As for Dalong coming from other states, I have not told anyone except to senior brother Yun Lan. And senior brother has passed away long ago..."
Hearing this, Lu Changan frowned slightly.
If it is just a private communication between the Nascent Soul Master, it will have inherent interference and resistance to the heavenly secret, which is not easy to be deduced.
In this matter, either Jiang Ziyan lied; or the late True Lord Yunlan left a loophole.
