Chapter 403: Space formation, heavenly method
Lu Changan named this fifth-level rare item [Black Wind Cloak].
The special fabric material is a product of the Demon Peak Realm.
It is suspected to be the robe of the two-headed, four-armed ancient demon in the sealed abyss. This demon's level is too high and he failed to break through.
Lu Changan tempered it with evergreen infant fire for a long time before purifying the demonic aura in it.
That night, Lu Changan personally wore the [Black Wind Cloak], sneaked into the night with the wind, and entered the Zixia Peak Cave without anyone noticing.
Even though Lu Changan knew the formation backdoor of Zixia Peak Cave, he sneaked all the way to Fairy Zixia's chamber without disturbing anyone, which is incredible.
Jiang Ziyan's slender figure was sitting cross-legged on the jade bed practicing, when something suddenly happened behind her and a cool breeze hit her.
A gloomy figure in a black cloak was reaching out to her shoulders.
who!
This Nascent Soul Nvzhenjun, her pretty face turned pale, she broke out in a cold sweat, and instinctively used magic power to protect her body.
“Jie Jie! I have heard about Zixia Fairy’s reputation for a long time, so I specially came to visit her late at night.”
Lu Changan suddenly felt childlike and laughed strangely.
Jiang Ziyan was shocked, thinking that it was some great monk who was greedy for beauty, or the reclusive god-turned-god.
Fortunately, Lu Changan did not hide his appearance.
After finding out her identity, Zixia Fairy was very angry and embarrassed, saying that she had to make compensation for the shock.
Lu Changan couldn't get used to it, so he simply played a scenario that night.
In the early morning, the dormitory was in a mess, as if it had been robbed.
“Dalong, can Zhenjun Lingxue’s legal body be given priority to be sold to this sect?”
Fairy Zixia put on the white dress she wore at home, half-kneeling with her long, white and graceful legs, and straightened the hem of Lu Changan's robe. Her eyes were misty, as if she had a sense of grievance.
Lu Changan thought to himself, no wonder this woman made herself so comfortable. It turned out that she wanted something.
“If Zhenjun Lingxue’s legal body remains in Yunxia Sect, it will cause karma in the future.”
Lu Changan shook his head slightly and did not agree.
After losing his Nascent Soul body, True Lord Lingxue would have to seize his body and rebuild it, hiding away for decades.
If Lu Changan had been in Dayuan, True Lord Lingxue would have endured the humiliation and not dared to make any mistakes.
However, if Lu Changan returns to Daqing and has not returned for many years, there will be only one Nascent Soul in the Yunxia Sect, True Lord Zixia, and there will be many hidden dangers.
Of course, it is also a reason why Yunxia Sect cannot come up with treasures that would impress Lu Changan.
In the past, they had babies, refined puppets, and collected various precious materials. The potential of the Yunxia Sect's treasure house had been basically drained by Lu Changan.
…
A few days later.
Lu Changan sent away a Nascent Soul evil cultivator from another country who paid a low-key visit.
This evil cultivator of Nascent Soul was said to have once admired True Lord Lingxue, but later became resentful. This time, I came here with the intention of buying Ling Xue's body and refining it into a female zombie slave.
Although the price offered by this cultivator was quite sincere, Lu Changan still declined politely and could not encourage such evil trends.
Not long after the evil cultivator of Yuanying left, Lingxue Zhenjun seemed to be stimulated. The big chamber of commerce and family behind him sent representatives to the Yunxia Sect to negotiate, hoping to recover Lingxue's legal body skin.
Lu Changan made a direct offer and asked for Bing Qingfeng’s wings and skeleton. He also told the royal family that they also wanted to purchase this body, and he was quite moved.
The forces behind True Lord Lingxue were in a dilemma and could not come up with this object. They asked Lu Changan to keep the body of the law for ten thousand years while they went back to discuss it.
“It’s really a show.”
Lu Changan had calculated in advance that the royal family was not clear about it, but there was considerable room for interest behind True Lord Lingxue.
Zhenjun Lingxue is not alone. The big chambers of commerce and families behind her all rely on her.
Lu Changan tried to see if he could let the projection of his past life possess the body of True Lord Lingxue.
The results were not ideal.
The projection of the previous life has the corresponding divine soul power and skill instinct, but it is not the real soul of a living being or the soul of the Nascent Soul.
After possession, the body can only be controlled rigidly, and it will cause rejection by the Nascent Soul body, causing the loss of vitality to accelerate.
Lu Changan had no choice but to give up. It seemed unrealistic to create a vest clone of Fairy Yuanying.
…
A while passed.
The representatives of the forces behind Zhenjun Lingxue officially came to negotiate and made an offer.
They indeed don’t have Bing Qingfeng’s wing frame.
However, there are remains of the "nine-headed bird", but they are slightly older.
The nine-headed bird is also a heavenly bloodline spiritual bird, and its ancestor can reach the highest threshold of true spirit.
It is said that this bird is very intelligent, but due to too many thoughts, it will suffer from serious internal friction.
Lu Changan identified a fragment of the spiritual bird bones and determined that they were the bones of a nine-headed bird above the mid-fourth level. However, the spiritual loss was serious and the value was greatly reduced.
Lu Changan used this to express his dissatisfaction, suppress the value in the negotiation, and take the initiative.
Fortunately, the bones of the nine-headed bird controlled by the forces behind True Monarch Lingxue are quite substantial.
Lu Changan finally gave up and agreed to the deal.
The forces behind True Lord Lingxue asked the Nascent Soul monks from the Yuntian Fairy City Merchant Alliance to mediate and complete the deal in the Yunxia Sect.
Lu Changan obtained the skeleton frame of a nine-headed bird. Since the Hydra is a large raptor, even if it is less than half of the skeleton, the share of material is considerable.
In addition to the transaction, Lu Changan signed a spiritual contract on behalf of the Yunxia Sect and the "Feiyun Chamber of Commerce" behind Zhenjun Lingxue, and the grievances between the two parties were resolved without any accountability to each other.
Perhaps, this is also one of the reasons why the other party is willing to make this deal.
Even a powerful force like the Daewoo Royal Family would feel a headache if they were to be enemies with the Double Dragons of the Central Region at the same time.
Lu Changan realized that high-profile prestige can have good effects at certain times.
“The materials to upgrade the Peacock to the fourth level are basically complete.”
Lu Changan has high hopes after completing the transaction.
Although the materials are basically sufficient, they are not yet stable, and the loss during refining must be considered.
In addition, the remaining bones of the nine-headed bird are currently not up to standard in quality and spirituality.
Lu Changan plans to use the Evergreen Gong to cultivate it all year round, try to restore some spirituality, and meet the corresponding quality requirements.
…
Three or four years passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Changan’s age reached 405 years old.
In the past few years since he returned to Yunxia Sect, he spent most of his time practicing in seclusion to improve his magical powers and secret techniques.
Lu Changan is strengthening his practice in "Destroying Divine Light", "Phantom Wood Clone", and even "Secret Technique of Heavenly Demon".
Among them, "Phantom Wood Clone" has the most suitable attributes, and has similar memories and experiences from previous lives, and has already been cultivated to a great level or above.
This magical power of physical movement can be refined with phantom wood talismans made from high-grade spiritual wood and sacrificed with essence and blood mana. During the fight, a false clone can be created to confuse the enemy and provide a certain amount of combat power.
The second one is "Withering Divine Light", which is also very consistent with the Evergreen Skill. Its actual combat effect has been confirmed, and it is worth investing a lot of time in practicing.
At the end of the year, Lu Changan improved his cultivation progress in the early stages of "Withering Divine Light" after losing a certain amount of lifespan. Now that we have enough time and no crisis pressure, there is no need to waste it like this.
As for "The Secret of Heavenly Demon", progress is much slower. The soul of the Nascent Soul monk has undergone a qualitative change, and the theory can be practiced, but it needs to be slightly improved and localized.
While practicing this secret method, Lu Changan once bewitched a foundation-building monk from the Yunxia Sect and entered the other person's mind with inner demon thoughts, amplifying flaws in his state of mind and inducing negative demonic nature.
As a result, this foundation-building monk became evil, embezzled public funds, bullied his senior sister, betrayed his sect, and exposed his inner ghost.
“This boy’s ambition is not strong, and it is difficult for him to achieve great things!”
Lu Changan couldn't help but shake his head. He would return to Daqing later and try to find a rival monk with a higher level of cultivation.
Practice the "Secret Technique of Heavenly Demon" and let him understand the truth that any monk has potential demonic nature.
Heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, and when there is positive there is negative.
Devil nature is the dark negative side.
Even the legendary immortals still have demonic nature.
The more powerful an individual is, the greater the harm he will do if he becomes a demon once he is induced to possess demonic nature.
…
On this day, Lu Changan, who was bored with his cultivation, came out of seclusion and took a breath.
“Elder Xiang, this is a gift from a letter I received recently.”
Xiao Qingshan placed a number of items in the grocery room next to Lu Changan's studio.
Lu Changan's consciousness quickly scanned and found Jing Wufeng's contact item, a silver crystal jade with a sky symbol.
“Space materials can be used to repair the space formation channels of Tinghai Pavilion.”
Lu Changan’s head moved.
Jing Wufeng will meet with him soon, hoping to bring about progress.
Now, Lu Changan only has one last necessary thing left in Dayuan.
Repair the formation of the space channel.
Lu Changan came to Dayuan as a late-stage cultivation of Jindan. Now he and Lord Diyan are both at the Nascent Soul level, beyond the capacity of the space channel.
Lu Changan himself is a third-level formation mage, and he has been studying the restoration plan in Zhenjun Chahai's memory over the past few years.
The formation materials and some space treasure materials that may be leaked are all being processed in secret.
Four or five years after returning to Yunxia Sect.
The fourth-level real puppet controlled by Wei Puppet Master is also quietly carrying out this matter, and is more active than Lu Changan when going out for transactions and purchases.
Master Wei has achieved the fourth level of True Puppet and wants to return to Daqing for revenge as soon as possible.
“Qingshan, I heard that you have been preparing elixir-forming materials in recent years.”
Lu Changan looked at Xiao Qingshan, who was in the late stage of foundation construction and looked full of energy.
This son's side sect has excellent qualifications, his "Yin Yang Double Cauldron Method" is getting better and better day by day, and he has all kinds of financial resources and Taoist companions. After so many years, his appearance is still young and in full bloom.
In addition to Lu Changan's care, the Xiao family also provided great support to him. Now he has a Taoist companion and many beautiful concubines.
Except for the Taoist couple Si Lu, the other ordinary wives and beautiful concubines are all disguised marriages between powerful factions within the sect.
“The Qingshan is dull, and it is still a little short of reaching the peak of foundation building. Listen to the teachings of Elder Xiang, be cautious in things, and have been preparing for twenty years in advance.”
Xiao Qingshan replied humbly and respectfully.
Lu Changan nodded slightly, chatted with Xiao Qingshan about his daily life, gave him some guidance on his practice, and taught him how to form an elixir.
Lu Changan once transformed the golden elixir three times and discussed the elixir conclusion. There are few people in the world of immortality who can compare with his experience.
As the only confidant of True Lord Yuanying and the chief steward of the main peak, Xiao Qingshan is a famous person in the sect, and his treatment is comparable to that of a true disciple.
In terms of preparing pill-forming resources, Xiao Qingshan basically has no shortage, and he is looking for better spiritual objects.
Before Lu Changan left Dayuan, he also prepared a superior elixir-forming spiritual object for Xiao Qingshan that suited him.
At the Nascent Soul level, it is easy to gather alchemy resources.
“By the way, please leave a copy of your experience in practicing the "Dragon and Phoenix Double Cauldron" when you return. A friend from a certain family is interested in this."
“Yes, Mr. Xiang Zhen.”
Xiao Qingshan promised and did not dare to ask any more questions. "Dragon and Phoenix Double Cauldron Method" was originally obtained from the ancestor of Tianluo. This side sect technique was obtained by Tianluo Patriarch from an ancient cave. After studying it for a lifetime, he still did not fully understand it.
Lu Changan asked the talented Xiao Qingshan to practice, continue to accumulate experience and improve the shortcomings.
This is to pave the way for the next life.
However, the Evergreen Kung Fu does not have the length of follow-up training in the Nascent Soul stage. It only strengthens and accumulates mana on a daily basis, which is inefficient and slow in progress.
Lu Changan has had more discussions with Fairy Zixia in recent years, not because he is obsessed with women.
Rather, I found that the "Dragon and Phoenix Double Cauldron Method" can improve the efficiency of cultivation and barely make up for the lack of skills.
Jiang Ziyan is a Nascent Soul female cultivator. If she were to use a secondary cauldron below the late stage of Dan formation, the effect would probably not be as good.
Of course, Jiang Ziyan’s adoption of this method also has benefits. Even if it cannot be used to reach the middle stage of Nascent Soul, it is beneficial to the essence and spirit and can be nourished by the Double Cauldron Method.
…
Lu Changan did not make an appointment to meet with Jing Wufeng immediately.
He had a premonition that the time to return to Daqing was not far away.
Just waiting for the space formation to be repaired.
Before setting off, Lu Changan met with True Lord Zixia again and revealed his intentions tactfully, saying that he missed his hometown.
Jiang Ziyan was not surprised. From various signs, she felt that this day was getting closer and closer.
She didn’t hold back, but looked a little gloomy, bit her lower lip lightly, met his eyes and asked:
“When is Dalong planning to go back?”
"As little as three to five years, as many as within ten years." Lu Changan is not sure, it mainly depends on the progress of repairing the formation.
If everything goes well, it will be enough to go out to meet Jing Wufeng this time.
Of course, repairing the formation also takes time, and it must be done carefully and without any omissions.
“Will the Great Dragon return to the Great Abyss again in the future?”
“There will definitely be a chance someday.”
Lu Changan replied in the affirmative with a smile.
This is not a polite statement.
He controls the space transmission channel and seeks a higher realm in the future. There will be more resources and opportunities in the Great Abyss.
Getting affirmation and comfort from Lu Changan, Jiang Ziyan’s eyebrows soothed.
Just a slight smile during conversation, less lively and lively.
It can be seen that Lu Changan's departure has a certain psychological impact on Fairy Zixia, and the impact is not small.
“By the way, has Master Le expressed any difficulties to the Yunxia Sect in recent years?”
Lu Changan changed the subject.
“In recent years, the relationship between Master Le’s lineage and our sect has warmed up, and transactions have been maintained. However, Master Le and his descendants did not request any help from the Yunxia Sect.”
Jiang Ziyan knows a thing or two about the agreement between Lu Changan and Master Le.
Master Le provided the main ingredient to refine the Infant Transformation Pill for Lu Changan, who owed him a favor.
This matter has spread within the Dan Dao Alliance’s sphere of influence.
Especially the Double Dragons in the Central Region are famous in the Great Abyss. This rumor has been known by many high-level monks and Yuanying old monsters under the promotion of caring people.
“Does this old fox intend to never use this promise?”
Lu Changan couldn't help but think of a possibility.
Owing to the promise he owed back then, Lu Changan was not outstanding among Yuanying monks except for possessing a fourth-level demon king.
Nowadays, Master Le’s investment has appreciated, and he has received the promise of a mid-Yuan Ying giant.
This promise will also be valid for future generations within a hundred years.
The information leaked by Master Le did not mention the deadline of one hundred years.
If this promise is not used, even if the music master is old, weak, or even dies, this deterrent will still exist.
Many times, the trump card that is not used is more of a deterrent.
Lu Changan said in a deep voice: "Let the disciples send a message to remind Master Yue. Just say that Xiang may travel for decades in the future. If this promise is not needed, Xiang may not be found at the critical moment."
The promise made back then was not an oath, Lu Changan kindly reminded him.
Jiang Ziyan nodded and said, "I will tell you what I ordered."
…
When mentioning Master Le, Lu Changan thought of the remaining fourth-level longevity pill.
Master Le once said that there are channels that can help Lu Changan sell this elixir and trade the precious materials needed.
However, the Yuanying old monster that Master Le contacted provided the wood-type heaven and earth spiritual objects and puppet refining materials, which were slightly worse than Lu Changan expected.
Lu Changan wondered if this old fox was acting as a middleman and took part of the kickback.
Over the years, he has successively obtained ice green phoenix feathers, roc bird wings, and nine-headed bird skeletons. His taste has improved and his demand has accordingly decreased.
Coupled with the promotion to the fourth level of divination, using "Withered Wood Divine Light" will shorten your life a lot, so Lu Changan decided to take it himself.
That evening.
Lu Changan took the third level 4 longevity pill.
The effect of life extension this time has been compromised again, extending life by about 76 and a half years.
But the effect is still better than that of ordinary monks.
Lu Changan's total life span has once again returned to more than 2,200 years.
Compared to when he first entered the Nascent Soul stage, his magic power, especially magical powers and secret arts, has been significantly improved.
However, the little bit of silver mixed in Lu Changan's temples did not recover on its own.
Before the journey to seal the demons and the battle with the Seven True Lords, Lu Changan spent a lot of life energy in a short period of time to improve his divination skills in order to increase his chances of winning, leaving such traces to prove it.
Lu Changan let nature take its course and did not use the Evergreen Kung Fu to repair it deliberately.
…
A few days later.
In an inconspicuous valley on the boundary between Yunxia Sect and Dashan Mountain.
Two Nascent Soul-level escaping lights landed one after another.
“I haven’t seen you for several years, and my friend Jing Dao has made great progress in his cultivation.”
Lu Changan keenly sensed that Jing Wufeng's mana aura was stronger than last time.
It only took four or five years, and such progress in cultivation was considered to be extremely rapid in the Nascent Soul stage.
“Haha, thanks to fellow Taoist Xiang. The trophies gained last time were exchanged for a lot of training materials.”
Jing Wufeng was wearing a green silk shirt lined with ancient armor, returning to his former leisurely posture.
“Fellow Taoist Xiang, please accept these two things.”
Jing Wufeng flicked his sleeves, and a storage bag and a jade slip floated in front of Lu Changan.
Lu Changan looked at the storage bag.
There are precious materials inside. In addition to the fourth-level treasure materials suitable for puppet refining, there are also several space-type formation materials.
“Fellow Daoist Jing is determined.”
Lu Changan nodded in thanks. The materials in the storage bag were more than enough to make up for the loss of the puppet army.
Half of the puppet army formation was damaged. Lu Changan asked Yunxia Sect to help purchase it, and now he has collected part of it.
Even after experiencing a demonic disaster, it is not that easy to gather the materials for eight third-level high-grade puppets.
Monster materials alone are not enough to create a complete puppet. Certain core components unique to the puppet are also needed.
Lu Changan looked at the jade slip again, which recorded the method of conceiving a baby in ancient times.
“The way of heaven to form a baby.”
Lu Changan felt happy that he finally got this thing.
Looking at the entire country of Dayu, only the royal family may have this method of nurturing a baby.
The ancient method of nurturing a baby recorded in jade slips includes both human nurturing and celestial nurturing.
Lu Changan did a quick scan and found that the methods of childbirth in ancient times were more crude and simple, leaning towards natural understanding.
Unlike the current methods of childbirth, the skill of constantly improving is like walking on thin ice.
“It’s really difficult to have a baby born in the way of heaven, compared to ascending to heaven!”
Lu Changan put away the jade slips and sighed.
Even if there was a way to conceive a baby in Heaven, Lu Changan thought that if he conceive a baby again, he would have a 20% better chance of winning.
“Haha, no one dares to try the Tiandao method of nurturing a baby now, and its value has been greatly reduced. This is how Xiang Daoyou can successfully obtain it.”
The Heavenly Way's method of childbirth that Jing Wufeng gave to Lu Changan was not for the sect's own use, but was obtained from other sources by the previous ancestors and kept in the Shanmen library.
Therefore, there is no need to alarm the master about this matter. Just inform the old servant in the library.
“Jing has completed two of the three conditions mentioned by Xiang Zhenjun that day.”
Jing Wufeng smiled again, saying that he didn’t want to be in debt.
Lu Changan did not refuse: "Xiang happens to have a few questions about the space formation that he doesn't understand, and he wants to ask Mr. Jing Zhen for help."
The formation repair plan in Zhenjun Chahai's memory is only a rough idea, and some details need to be improved.
Jing Wufeng is also a fourth-level formation mage and is good at space. He is better at this field than Zhenjun Chahai.
Listening to the questions raised by Lu Changan, Jing Wufeng thought for a while and answered seriously.
During the discussion where he asked questions and solved his doubts, Jing Wufeng quickly discovered that Lu Changan also understood formations, and was no worse than a senior third-level formation master.
“I didn’t expect Xiang Zhenjun to be so knowledgeable and talented. In addition to being proficient in divination and puppet refining, he also dabbled in formations.”
“Know a little bit.”
Lu Changan smiled modestly and explained, "A certain family's puppet army formation requires a foundation of formation knowledge."
Jing Wufeng was not surprised and did not get entangled. After all, Xiang Dalong had cultivated the Evergreen Kung Fu and was relatively old.
When it comes to erudition, no one in Tianheng Continent can compare with his master, and this has been the case for all the founders of Shanmen in all generations.
Half a day later.
Lu Changan’s confusion in repairing the formation was all solved.
Jing Wufeng’s patient explanation helped Lu Changan benefit a lot from the space formation.
“If there are still problems in the future, Xiang may still trouble Taoist Jing.”
Lu Changan said shamelessly.
“No problem! The space formation repairs that Brother Xiang is involved in are actually routine issues.”
Jing Wufeng also improved his own formation by solving doubts and discussions and providing solutions.
Lu Changan felt confident that the detailed plan to repair the formation was no longer a problem.
In terms of repair materials, the gap is not big now.
He does not want to repair the formation 100%. He only needs more than 80% to be able to undertake the Yuanying monk's shuttle through the space channel.
(End of this chapter)
