Chapter 411 Back to Jin Yun, leader of the Demon Sect
Lu Changan did not deliberately hide his cultivation or identity, and sat calmly and comfortably on the back of the black water turtle.
After entering the border of Liang Kingdom, the induction array was immediately alerted and was discovered by the patrolling monks.
The surging water-escape spiritual pressure of the late third-level spirit turtle made other monks afraid to approach, so they quickly reported it.
“Your Excellency, are you the Changqing Master from Jinyun Valley a hundred years ago?”
After a moment, three pill-forming escaping lights approached, one of which was thick and powerful, as if it was a late-stage pill-forming person.
In the center of the fire cloud light is a middle-aged monk in his forties or fifties wearing an ancient green war robe. He has gray hair on his temples, a stern look, and a straight back.
“It’s Mr. Lu!”
Lu Changan nodded, he was indeed the hometown of Liang State, he was recognized so quickly.
There are three alchemy monks in front of me, two men and one woman.
“Fellow Tuoba…”
In his youth, he was very ambitious and arrogant, and offended many people.
The other two alchemy cultivators, with strange expressions, looked at the giant Xuan Shui turtle and the tall man in white who were going away.
At that time, Wugui Zhenren, a strange person in the world of casual cultivators, actually broke through the shackles and climbed to the top of the world of cultivators.
“I can’t bear the word ‘pay respect’, Lu Zhenjun has broken my heart.”
The three alchemy cultivators couldn't help but groan, showing expressions of shock and disbelief.
He secretly wondered whether he had unintentionally offended this Lu Zhenjun at some point in the past.
Without the guardians of the elders of Nascent Soul, the process of elixir formation is very risky. You have to ensure that the elixir formation can be successful next time, and you have to waste resources again.
“I am Tuoba Jin, the great elder of Liuyun Sect…”
The female alchemy cultivator beside her had her pretty eyes twinkling, guessing some important opportunity.
Lu Changan smiled warmly and pointed out the reason.
It's just that the two sides started out completely different. Before forming the elixir, they were not on the same level, and there was no communication at all.
The three alchemy monks were discussing the return of Lu Zhenjun, who had given birth to a baby. They could not hide their envy and felt a little sour in their hearts.
The middle-aged and elderly alchemy monk, with sharp eyes and a pale golden light, confirmed the authenticity of Lu Changan's identity.
Tuoba Jin was in a complicated mood. The little casual cultivator who had not been noticed by him in the early years had surpassed himself, the former genius, in hundreds of years of practice.
“In the immortal world of Liang Kingdom, I should be the only one who has an alchemy monk named Tuoba Jin.”
Lu Changan had no friendship with Tuoba Jin. After a few polite words, he flew to the hinterland of Liang Kingdom.
“I’ve met Mr. Lu Zhen!”
…
Lu Changan’s eyes fell on the middle-aged and elderly Danjie monks.
Not to mention Zhang Tianfeng, who was once the number one pill-former in the Liang Kingdom, there were late-stage pill-formers and immortal golden elixirs in the Jinyang Sect who were stronger than him.
Tuoba Jin and the three alchemy monks were surprised and uncertain, and immediately bowed and saluted.
In terms of fighting skills and ranking of military exploits, he was far inferior to Liang Shaotian and Zhang Tianfeng of that era.
The Liuyun Sect where Tuoba Jin belonged was the second sect in the Liang Kingdom during the Lihuo Sect era. It was stronger than Jinyun Valley and once dominated the northern part of the Liang Kingdom.
Tuoba Jin felt uneasy when he noticed the attention of Lu Zhenjun.
“Zhenjun Tianfeng once admitted to transforming elixirs. Lu Zhenjun has a close relationship with that Zhang Zhenjun, and I think he may have had similar experiences.”
Later on, in the Demonic War, Tuoba Jin was seriously injured in the battle in order to gain military merit and exchange for baby-making supplies, which resulted in damage to the Dao base.
“Perhaps like True Monarch Tianfeng, he has transformed elixirs into knots before. After all, in the surrounding immortal cultivation world for tens of thousands of years, there has never been any case of successful formation of babies through true elixirs in the middle and lower reaches.”
“Greetings to the True Lord Evergreen!”
Lu Changan’s birth of a baby must have an unknown opportunity, such as [Yin and Yang Water] and other heaven and earth spiritual beings.
Furthermore, Tuoba Jin formed the elixir much earlier than Lu Changan.
Your eyes are burning, as if you are looking directly into the scorching sun at noon.
Boom!
Tuoba Jin’s face was shaken. He sensed the deep and sea-like aura of mana on the visitor’s body, and the secret technique he was exploring was dispersed by the invisible power of the Nascent Soul.
“I heard that this Mr. Lu, whose quality of elixir formation was average and his cultivation speed was relatively slow, was actually able to successfully conceive a baby in the end?”
There were only middle-aged and elderly monks in the middle, who had reached the late stage of alchemy formation. Lu Changan felt a little familiar.
The angular features that have been rounded by time and the gray hair can vaguely be traced back to the heroic appearance of the Liuyun Sect's genius who built the foundation to challenge the fake elixir in front of the Huanglong Immortal City.
However, due to the influence of the Jinyang Sect of the Feng Kingdom moving northward, Liuyun Sect's resource territory in the north was subject to a certain degree of competition for division.
The two were monks of the same generation and were of similar age.
Tuoba Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said humbly.
"Haha, fellow Taoist Tuoba, don't be nervous. There is no grudge between you and me. It's just that Lu, as a casual cultivator in Huanglong Immortal City in his early years, watched the battle between Taoist Taoist Tuoba and the False Dan Master."
“Are you Tuoba Jin?”
However, those who can be promoted to Nascent Soul are almost always lucky.
Having reached the top level of the world of immortality, some of their own secrets are no longer afraid of being known to others.
…
After crossing the border of Liang State, Lu Changan stopped stopping all the way and no one stopped him.
Half a day later, the Xuan Shui Turtle stepped on the ripples of water and approached Jinyun Valley.
“It is indeed a fourth-level spiritual vein. Lao Zhang should have a special method for cultivating spiritual veins. I’m afraid it’s not enough to rely solely on the support of the Wei Dao Alliance.”
Lu Changan sensed from a distance that the mountainous area where Jinyun Valley is located is full of spiritual energy. The sect's luck is as strong as that of the Yunxia sect.
Golden Cloud Valley’s foundation and history of founding the sect surpass Xuanyin Sect. When Lu Changan left, it was already a large-scale third-level top spiritual vein.
Two hundred miles apart.
The main peak of the fourth level of Jinyun Valley is a Nascent Soul-level golden escaping light. The light is bright, like a golden dragon soaring into the sky, and it is majestic.
“The Supreme Elder is out of seclusion!”
But it was Zhang Tianfeng who sensed Lu Changan's arrival and took the initiative to greet him.
Lu Changan stroked the turtle's back with his hand. The mysterious water under the turtle's feet rippled rapidly, and its speed increased by a few points.
At the gate of Jinyun Valley, high-level masters and many disciples could not help but pay attention to the Xuanshui turtle approaching in the distance.
The dark green black turtle, which is seven feet wide, is like a floating hill, riding on the wind and waves, and surges with spiritual pressure like a stormy wave.
“The vehicle of the late third-order Xuan Shui Turtle!”
“What a grand ceremony! Who is this master?”
The man in white on the turtle's back is handsome and handsome, as gentle as jade, with a few strands of silver in his **** black hair.
Facing the Yuanying Sect with the fourth-level spiritual veins, the man stood with his hands behind his hands, smiling slightly. He was handsome and handsome, with a noble demeanor that had gone through the vicissitudes of time.
“It’s him! Turtle...”
“Master Changqing disappeared for nearly a hundred years, why did he come back again?”
Jin Yun Sect, some experienced foundation-building and elixir-forming monks immediately recognized the identity of the person.
These older monks had their eyes widened and expressions of astonishment. Some of them frowned or showed resentment.
These older monks have deep memories of the immortal Changqing in his early years.
Every time when the Liang Kingdom and the sect are in crisis, this person will disappear and run away for a period of time, and he will also euphemistically call it "performing a special mission."
"Hmph! After disappearing for nearly a hundred years, Master Changqing still has the nerve to come back."
“Let’s see what else he can say this time!”
“Now that Jinyun Valley is at its peak of splendor and glory, this person will definitely rely on his friendship with the Supreme Elder to return to the sect.”
Several old alchemy cultivators sneered, communicated with each other, and flew out of the mountain gate together.
“Master, why are you back again?”
A newly promoted foundation builder who didn't know what was going on was puzzled by the elders' comments and humbly asked for advice.
…
This is a time of heated discussion among the sects.
Above the clouds, the mysterious water surged.
The legendary monk who received mixed reviews in the immortal world of Liang Kingdom made the Xuanshui turtle stop over the mountain gate.
The Supreme Elder Zhang Tianfeng stepped forward on the clouds to greet him. He cupped his hands with a smile and said:
“It’s great to congratulate Lu Zhenjun for returning to the Liang Kingdom. Zhang also just received information from the border of the Wei Dao Alliance..."
Zhang Tieshan's appearance has not changed much compared to the Dan Dan stage. His face is slightly darker. He is wearing a black robe and a coat. His figure is tall and straight, like a tall mountain, giving people a majestic and calm demeanor.
“Haha! Daoyou Zhang managed the business well and promoted Jinyun Valley to a Nascent Soul power. Lu is honored to be the guest elder of Jinyun Valley!”
Lu Changan raised his hand and congratulated.
The monk Jinyungu who paid attention to this scene couldn't help but be surprised.
The Supreme Elder Zhang Zhenjun held a courtesy ceremony with the returning Wugui Master and had a very pleasant conversation.
When Mr. Guizhen was communicating with each other, he shamelessly reached out and patted the Supreme Elder on the shoulder without knowing the importance of it. This was really contrary to Tiangang.
Um?
Several Danjie monks who came out to greet him felt the vague aura on Lu Changan's body. Their expressions changed greatly, their minds were shaken, and they looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Lu Changan came back by riding a turtle. He did not deliberately hide his cultivation, but he did not need to use his own magic power to escape, so he did not disseminate Nascent Soul spiritual pressure in a high-profile manner.
It is not difficult to identify the cultivation level of high-level monks who are slightly closer.
“I’ve met…I’ve met Mr. Lu Zhen.”
Several resentful Jiedan elders showed stiff smiles, and suppressed all the questioning remarks they had been brewing from the high moral point.
“My dear fellows, stay well.”
Lu Changan was calm and composed, greeting these old and new faces familiarly.
Nearly a hundred years since he left, only a part of the top Zhendan officials in the sect have been replaced.
Those older generations were dan, but the fire was helpless to admit it, making Lu Changan feel happy and funny.
These people don’t know the gold content of the sect’s lucky star, and they have paid silently for Jinyun Valley.
Lu Changan was too lazy to argue with them.
“May I ask Elder Lu, where have you been in the past hundred years?”
The person who spoke was an old man with a black beard, who was in the middle stage of alchemy formation, and couldn't help but ask.
If Lu Changan is not a true king.
Elder Miao's original draft was a sarcastic question, "Dare I ask Zhenren Lu, where have you carried out secret missions in the past hundred years?" "It's a long story. At that time, Benzhenjun was just an ordinary alchemy monk who was not good at fighting, but he was killed by the Beast King Valley one. The Wanhe True Monarch and the Peacock Saint were interested in the secrets of Xuan Shui Turtle and the beast master, and even used the inner ghost to trap and kill Lu. "
“At that time, the Beast King Valley was very powerful. In order not to drag down or implicate the Jinyun Valley, it would be targeted in the Demonic War and suffer greater pressure and losses. Lu had no choice but to flee the Guardian Alliance and find another opportunity to practice..."
“When Lu left, he informed fellow Taoist Zhang in advance.”
Lu Changan paused and glanced at Zhang Tianfeng.
“It is indeed true. It was indeed dangerous for Lu Daoyou to stay in the Weidao League at that time, and it was not good for him personally and Jinyun Valley.”
Zhang Tianfeng nodded and acknowledged.
Lu Changan successfully gave birth to a baby, proving the correctness of his strategy, leaving people speechless.
In the past ten thousand years of the Liang Kingdom, the only true king born from local non-Nascent Soul forces was Zhang Tianfeng.
And it was still during a special period of war.
This shows how difficult it is for ordinary monks to reach the top of the world of immortality due to the solidification of resources and hierarchy.
“Later, Lu was lucky enough to conceive a baby. He was no longer afraid of the threats from the lineage of True Monarch Wanhe and the Peacock Saint, so it was time to return to the sect.”
"This woman, Zhu Yuting, was once a traitor in Jinyun Valley. She was captured by this elder and handed over to the Law Enforcement Hall for disposal."
After Lu Changan finished speaking, he raised his hand and handed Zhu Yuting out from behind the tortoise.
“It is indeed the traitor from back then, the devil in the devil’s path!”
Elder Miao stepped forward to confirm his identity and handed over his hand to Lu Changan to accuse him.
Hearing Lu Zhenjun’s emotional explanation of the causes and consequences, the senior Jiedan officials present looked relieved.
In the early days, Changqing Zhenren made very rational choices, which not only saved himself, but also did not implicate the sect.
If we had stayed in Liang State, competition for resources and opportunities would be fierce, and we would have to face external crises, and we would not be able to achieve what we have today.
…
Handing Zhu Yuting over to the Law Enforcement Hall, Lu Changan, accompanied by Zhang Tieshan, entered the mountain gate of Jinyun Valley.
After becoming a Yuanying force, the entire mountain gate of Jinyun Valley expanded by a circle.
The back mountain area where the Great Elder was originally located has become a fourth-level spiritual vein dojo.
The Big Sun Peak where Daoist Lu practiced cultivation is still there today, but it has become a cave for other elders.
“Why don’t you see Tan’er?”
Lu Changan asked after scanning his consciousness.
Zhao Tan'er was Zhao Siyao's only female disciple during his lifetime, and she was also a bloodline fairy of the Zhao family. She was always treated like a daughter.
Zhang Tianfeng replied: "Elder Zhao is performing the guarding mission of the Wei Dao League on the southeastern border of Liang Kingdom."
Lu Changan nodded and made some calculations silently.
The southeastern border of Liang Kingdom is in the direction of Wangyue Fairy City and Heng Kingdom.
Speaking of which, the "Wuye Town" that Jiang Yechen and Shi Xianzi established together as a gathering place for casual cultivators and refugees is also in that general area.
“There is an empty hilltop in the fourth-level spiritual vein area. Friend Lu, please wait for a few days, and the sect will open up and transform the cave dojo according to your wishes.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Lu Changan followed Zhang Tianfeng to the latter's Tianfeng Mountain Dojo, which was renovated from the hinterland of the back mountain where the great elder of Jinyun Valley was.
Tianfengshan Taoist Temple is not high in terrain, surrounded by mountains and lakes, and has beautiful scenery.
There are only one or two old servants in the cave, and no maids or concubines.
Zhang Tieshan has never had a Taoist partner since he was practicing Qi Refining to Nascent Soul. He has been practicing hard in solitude, running around looking for opportunities.
…
The two true kings sat down and drank tea and reminisced about the past.
Zhang Tianfeng did not explore the specific whereabouts of Lu Changan in the past hundred years.
The topic mainly revolves around the Demonic War and the current situation of the Guardian Alliance.
In addition to occupying most of the territory on the Wei Dao League side, the Beast King Valley has also captured as much territory as the Wei Dao League in the rear. It needs to digest and rectify those affiliated forces.
Within the Six Demonic Sects, during the invasion and occupation, there was a dispute over the division of territory resources in the Eastern Territory.
The decades of truce are due to various factors, including the partial influence of True Lord Lingyu and True Lord Qingmu, the behind-the-scenes calculations of the ten Xuanmen sects, and the distribution of interests within the six demonic sects.
In summary, the Six Demonic Sects invaded the Eastern Territory and achieved the basic strategy. They have taken root in this territory and made many forces affiliated.
Next, we need to slowly crack down on some hard bones, such as the Seven-Nation Alliance.
As for the three countries of the Wei Dao Alliance, Beast King Valley is just unwilling to pay too much price, otherwise it can be captured by force.
“Decades ago, the situation of the Wei Dao Alliance was in danger. The Beast King Valley proposed to make the remaining three countries become tributaries. They only need to submit to the six demon sects and pay a certain proportion of resources every year. From then on, the two sides became the same camp and invaded other lands together.”
When Lu Changan heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
If an agreement had been reached at that time, Liang's homeland would now be affiliated with the devil, and his situation would be in trouble.
The Valley of the Beast King is currently not that lacking in territory. This proposal has a certain degree of sincerity and is also tempting to the Guardian Alliance.
“At that time, some high-level officials in the alliance were interested, but in the end they were sternly rejected by Alliance Leader Chu.”
Zhang Tianfeng couldn't help but paused when he said this.
Lu Changan was thoughtful, but Chu Tianfeng did not agree in the end. He might have the secret support of Zhenjun Lingyu and the ten Xuanmen sects behind him.
“Later, both sides took a step back.”
"The Wealth Alliance must agree to a trade agreement with the Beast King Valley. The two sides will set up some neutral trade zones to allow monks from the two sides to trade and do business. The agreement stipulates that the Wealth Alliance's immortal cultivation materials can only be traded with the Beast King Valley, otherwise it will be smuggling. However, the Wei Dao Alliance is surrounded by the Beast King Valley, and there is no other channel except Liang Guo who can barely communicate with Feng Yuan Guo. "
Hearing this, Lu Changan looked solemn and remained silent for a long time.
Although the Beast King Valley ceased fighting, it launched another invisible war without bloodshed.
Establishing an intermediate trading place will not only deprive them of economic benefits, but also the superiority of the demonic camp, rich inheritance resources...all kinds of soft power will also attract the monks of the Guardian Alliance.
After a hundred or two hundred years of this, the Beast King Valley will be able to subtly penetrate and assimilate the Three Kingdoms cultivation world.
If the top officials are corrupted and bribed, a peaceful evolution can even be triggered in a shorter period of time, allowing the Alliance to collapse on its own.
Zhang Tianfeng was also silent.
Qi Ling's analysis believes that sooner or later the Wei Dao Alliance will be merged into the Demonic Dao. No matter whether it is obedient or confrontational, it will not be able to change the general trend of the times.
…
“If we only deal with the Beast King Valley, one of the Demon Sects, the strength of the Wei Dao Alliance does not seem to be that big of a difference. If another mid-stage Nascent Soul is born, can the situation be reversed.”
Lu Changan said hypothetically, his eyes flashing slightly.
When he came back from the Great Abyss, he had seen or heard a lot of forces at the level of Beast King Valley, so he was not that afraid.
Zhang Tianfeng couldn't help but glance at Lu Changan and said thoughtfully:
“It’s very difficult! The victory of the Beast King Valley is in control, so cherish the feathers. In order to avoid too many losses, we never use all our strength to fight. Moreover, Wu Jian Sect’s infiltration and secret assistance is impossible to avoid.”
“If you want to reverse the situation, you must kill a mid-stage Nascent Soul from the Beast King Valley.”
Kill the mid-stage Nascent Soul?
When Lu Changan heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head. This is really difficult.
Competing against the mid-stage Nascent Soul, defeating the mid-stage Nascent Soul, and killing the mid-stage Nascent Soul, these are three levels of difficulty.
The Double Dragons of the Central Realm, which moved the Great Abyss, failed to reach the third place that year. That was the domain of the Nascent Soul Monk.
“And it’s best to kill the Great Elder of Beast King Valley, one of the leaders of the Demon Sect, otherwise the situation may not be reversed. But in the entire Daqing, almost no one can do it.”
Zhang Tianfeng shook his head and added.
“Leader of the Demon Sect? How about the great elder of the Beast King Valley?”
Lu Changan’s impression before leaving Daqing was that the previous Nascent Soul Lord of Proud Moon Palace died at the hands of the Great Elder of Beast King Valley.
“Decades ago, the famous ‘True Lord Aoki’ in the Eastern Territory was ambushed by the Great Elder of the Beast King Valley and the Wujian Sect’s mid-Nascent Soul. He was seriously injured and almost died.”
"According to the information obtained from the ten sects of the Xuanmen, the Great Elder of the Beast King Valley is almost immortal. This leader of the Demon Sect possesses a magical fourth-level silkworm. Although he is not good at frontal combat, it has the effect of prolonging life and maintaining youth. . Every hundred years or so, the mysterious Celestial Silkworm can give the host the ability to "resurrection".
"Hundreds of years ago, the elder of the Beast King Valley was besieged and killed by many Nascent Soul Lords from the ten sects of Xuanmen. He paid a heavy price. His magic power was exhausted, and he was seriously injured and on the verge of death. As a result, the elder of the Beast King Valley 'resurrected' from a cocoon on the spot, and instantly The injuries healed in time and the peak mana state was restored, directly causing those Xuanmen True Lords who paid a heavy price to collapse on the spot..."
Zhang Tianfeng felt powerless when he mentioned this.
Lu Changan could imagine the desperate scene at that time. What a heavy price it would have to pay to kill a Nascent Soul in the middle stage. It could be said that they were running out of ammunition and food, and they were using all their means.
As a result, the target has full health and mana, which is a big deal!
“He is worthy of being one of the leaders of the Demon Sect.”
In Lu Changan’s impression, the Great Elder of Beast King Valley is probably ranked among the top three among the six sects of the Demonic Path.
Learning more secrets of the Demon Sect, Lu Changan realized that it would be difficult for just one or two Nascent Soul monks to change the general trend of demonic invasion in the Eastern Region.
Unless he is a great monk of Yuanying who transcends the boundaries of a state and forces the six demon sects to surrender and withdraw from the most prosperous central region of Daqing.
Lu Changan returned to Daqing. It can only be said that he is safe for himself. He may be able to influence some areas, but he is still unable to dominate the pattern of the Eastern Region.
…
The two true gentlemen chatted until late at night.
Lu Changan then took his leave and stayed temporarily in the sect's guest room, waiting for the opening of the cave dojo.
“Tiezi, that boy has a lot of good things on him, and he seems to have the aura of a specialty from the sea area. This weapon spirit confirms that he should have rare materials for repairing the spiritual treasure.”
A voice with a milky voice but a mature tone sounded in Zhang Tianfeng's mind.
“Specialties from the sea area? Have you ever been overseas, or near the sea area?”
Zhang Tianfeng was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but be surprised.
Daqing is an inland region. Apart from long-standing traditions, it is difficult to find new maritime specialties.
“If Fellow Daoist Lu dares to return to Daqing, his strength may be no less than that of ‘Shenjun Qingmu’, and he can compete with the mid-stage Nascent Soul. Zhang may not be able to come up with something that makes him excited.”
Zhang Tianfeng smiled bitterly, spread his palm, and took out a black and broken metal rod.
At first glance, it looks like a fire stick.
Hundred years of accumulation, Zhang Tianfeng allowed the original Lingbao fragment to absorb a large amount of gold and iron essence. Under the induction of the weapon spirit, he searched for and merged two Lingbao fragments in the Eastern Region of Daqing.
In addition, he used his superb weapon refining skills to integrate and refine many fourth-level and above treasure materials, and then he gave birth to an incomplete spiritual treasure that was barely formed.
Nowadays, the quality of incomplete spiritual treasures is slightly better than that of ordinary top-quality magic treasures, and they have some of the magical powers of spiritual treasures; due to the dominance of the weapon spirit, the mana consumption is lower.
There is still a long way to go before the true spiritual treasure, but there are traces to follow.
Zhang Tianfeng was satisfied with this. After all, the owners of this weapon spirit for several generations were at least Nascent Soul monks and many of them were transformed into gods.
“Don’t worry, Tiezi!”
Qi Ling said in a proud tone:
"That kid captured True Lord Black Feather's [Black Sky Wing]. He wanted to transform it to suit himself and exert its true power. Most fourth-level weapon refiners can't do it, but this weapon spirit has a feasible plan. Moreover, True Lord Aoki and Lu Changan As fellow practitioners of Evergreen Gong and enemies of each other, he needs to rely on you in many ways."
