Chapter 417 Qianji Yanshen, meet the Heavenly Master again
The Lord of Aoyue Palace could not have imagined that [Black Sky Wing] could exert great power on Lu Changan after being transformed and improved.
That's why she proposed this plan that didn't seem to infringe on Lu Changan's interests and could ease the relationship between the two camps.
Without further ado, Lu Changan quickly left.
On the clouds, Lu Changan looked back at the mountain gate of Aoyue Palace and couldn't help but make calculations with his fingers.
As a Nascent Soul force with a long heritage, there are celestial secrets and strange objects that interfere with the outside world's divination to protect the sect's secrets.
The target of Lu Changan's divination is Jin Yue Zhenjun, but he faces considerable resistance and interference from heaven.
Since Fairy Xia would have a calamity in the future and the Aoyue Palace Master had a problem with his tendencies, Lu Changan made a divination.
“There is a certain causal relationship.”
After a while, Lu Changan's divination came to a preliminary conclusion.
The civilization of the world of immortality has been inherited for countless thousands of years, and the accumulated experience and knowledge are countless. The wisdom of this world cannot be underestimated, especially those old monsters of Nascent Soul.
Not to mention, betrayal also carries risks.
If Jin Yue Zhenjun is a staunch surrenderer, there will be many opportunities for rebellion in the past demonic wars.
Among them, the Chamber of Commerce is the main force, and there are often shadows of immortal cultivating families and sects behind them.
Lu Changan would not doubt from this that the leader of the Demon Sect was the same time traveler.
After Lu Changan’s observation, he came to the basic conclusion that Beast King Valley accounts for the majority of high-end item resources, and the selling price and profit are relatively high.
Xia Wenyue, as an innate Taoist body, in the late stage of pill formation, in the normal order of the world of immortality, there were very few beings that could bring disaster to her.
But it cannot be confirmed that Jin Yue Zhenjun has colluded with Beast King Valley and belongs to the surrender faction.
Lu Changan’s cause and effect is also one of them.
“The gap between the civilizations of cultivating immortals, coupled with the geographical blockade, the Wei Dao Alliance was plundered economically and invaded by cultural heritage..."
This is a cultural output in a sense.
Normal Nascent Soul forces dominate one area, and I don’t know how good it is.
It is indeed easy for an individual to defect to the demonic path, but to bring a huge sect inheritance force to rebel together is because the situation is huge and difficult to achieve.
As far as Lu Changan knew, people from the Zhou family, Xuemeishan Li family, and Wujian sect had all contacted them.
Those high-end shops have many high-end resources at the elixir level, including beast-control inheritance and magical powers, which are open to the monks of the Wei Dao Alliance.
Lu Changan did not return to the Liang Kingdom immediately. Instead, he gathered his magic power and pretended to be a fake Danzhenren with identity in an uninhabited corner.
However, the Demonic Camp comes from the prosperous Central Region, where the civilization of cultivating immortals is developed. The overall level of craftsmen there is high, they are more involution, and they have a cost advantage.
The less influential ones are the finished products of cultivating immortals and various arts, such as talismans, elixirs, and magic weapons, which are mainly measured by their quality.
Until the last step, no Nascent Soul force is willing to lose its sovereignty and become a vassal of the demonic camp, relying on others.
A few days later, he came to a trading fairy city near the Beast King Valley.
This fairy city is located in the buffer zone between the two camps and also belongs to the territory of the original Feng Kingdom.
…
The materials for cultivating immortality sold by the Demonic Dao camp from the outside world actually command a premium.
There are rumors that the top chamber of commerce in the city has a background in the Six Demonic Sects, and even sells some spiritual items related to childbirth, but ordinary monks cannot access them.
The major forces of the Wei Dao Alliance, which has suffered losses from insiders, have been strictly investigating Wu Jian Sect and even set up corresponding agencies.
Her master Jin Yue Zhenjun is an elder who can influence her destiny.
It is said that this strategic idea came from the great elder of the Beast King Valley.
One thing is going down, the other is going up, and if it drags on for hundreds of years, how can the Wei Dao Alliance continue to fight? By then, I'm afraid they won't all be a group of fence-sitters and capitulators.
“In a neutral trading place, monks from both camps can indeed trade freely.”
The businessmen who set up stalls and shops in the city include monks from the Beast King Valley camp and monks from the Defending Alliance.
Through trade, the Demonic Alliance has fully demonstrated its superiority, and the opportunity to advance to a higher level is indeed better than the backward Guardian Alliance.
The special products of the Guardian Alliance can only be sold to the Beast King Valley, so their prices have been suppressed.
After Lu Changan’s registration and review, he mixed into the Trading Fairy City.
Lu Changan only confirmed that she advocated peace, and did not want to fight to the death with the Valley of the Beast King. If the situation cannot be reversed in the future, Aoyue Palace can accept joining the demonic camp, leaving a way out.
As for the Lord of Aoyue Palace himself, the conclusions of the hexagrams are not accurate and there are many interferences from heaven.
Chu Tianfeng, Liang Shaotian and other main fighting factions of the Wei Dao League are not vegetarians.
Including those downtrodden true kings who were forced to break through the mountain gates by the devil and became homeless. It is difficult to reconcile the blood feud with the Beast King Valley.
Lu Changan admires the senior management of Beast King Valley who formulated this strategy.
Wu Jian Sect has penetrated for more than two hundred years, and has secretly contacted many forces in private.
Lu Changan experienced it personally, and it is not difficult to understand why there are so many advocates and factions in the Weidao League.
The magical skills and magical powers of the Six Demonic Sects and the inheritance of beast control are priced at an affordable price.
“What happened in Beast King Valley will directly affect the business interests of the neutral force ‘Wangyue Fairy City’.”
Lu Changan thought of Wangyue Fairy City where the golden elixir was formed.
Lu Chang'an and Zhang Tieshan both formed elixirs and reunited knots here, and Zhu Yuting also formed elixirs here.
Wangyue Fairy City is aloof and neutral, with a mysterious background. It has fourth-level spiritual veins, has trade relations with countries surrounding the Wei Dao Alliance, and prefers middle- and high-level monks.
This fairy city is located between the Liang Kingdom, the Feng Kingdom, and the Heng Kingdom. Currently, the route with the Wei Dao Alliance countries is controlled by the Beast King Valley, and the risk of reaching it is very high.
Lu Changan now understands that Wangyue Fairy City belongs to the mysterious merchant alliance in the middle region of Daqing, and may have the background of the ten Xuanmen sects.
The Six Demonic Sects will not attack this neutral fairy city and provoke confrontation between good and evil, but they will not buy it either.
…
On the way back to Liang Kingdom, Lu Changan thought of the Tinghai Pavilion teleportation space channel he controlled.
Theoretically, he can be the boss of two major industries, buying low and selling high.
Due to scarcity differences in regional specialties, the selling prices in different places may vary several times.
But the actual implementation is not that ideal.
First of all, there is the issue of risk. Frequent purchases of large amounts of materials and travel between the two places are easy to attract the attention of interested people.
Secondly, each shuttle is not without cost, it will produce load impact and cause losses to the space array.
Repairing and maintaining the space array requires a lot of space treasure materials and is relatively difficult.
Therefore, before there is absolute strength, this kind of reselling across the world is only suitable for a small amount of scarce or top-quality immortal cultivation materials, mainly to serve oneself.
The transaction targets are only limited to high-level monks who are trusted by individuals; or they can hide their identity and spread out a small number of transactions in various circles of Daqing.
“When my cultivation and magical power reaches the limit and I can’t make any progress, I can consider this matter.”
Lu Changan is not in a hurry and does the right thing at the right stage.
…
Two years later.
Golden Cloud Valley, Tianfeng Dojo.
The Supreme Elder’s Weapon Refining Hall.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, the three nail-head arrows have been successfully upgraded. If Taoist friend hadn’t raised the soul-nurturing wood of the main shaft to the top level of the fourth level, Zhang may not have succeeded.”
Zhang Tianfeng's face looked a little tired, and the golden-red flames disappeared from the palm of his hand, and three [Nailhead Arrows] appeared.
Compared to before the upgrade, the [Nail Head Arrow] has not changed much overall. The shaft is like an arrow, the head is like a nail, and it is much smaller than ordinary magic weapons.
The shaft is dark blue, with a deeper and low-key breath; the nail head has a dull metallic luster.
“That’s right, Zhang Daoyou’s talent in weapon refining is astonishing, and he can be called the number one weapon refiner in the Wei Dao League.”
Lu Changan touched the newly added formation texture on [Nailhead Arrow], he was slightly happy, and he did not hesitate to praise it.
Actually, Zhang Tieshan’s refining improvement this time has some flaws.
But the three [Nail Arrows] all reached the threshold of top-grade magic weapons, which was in line with Lu Changan's expectations.
From now on, he will continue to cultivate it with the evergreen infant fire. Over a long period of time, the quality of the magic weapon will slowly improve.
“Fellow Daoist Lu Miaozan, this weapon refining did not reach the ideal level.”
Zhang Tieshan actually tried his best. His weapon-refining skills were not enough to refine the best magic weapons.
Fortunately, the [Nailhead Arrow] was originally made by him, and Lu Changan invested another seven or eight years of his life to cultivate the shaft to the top level of the fourth level.
This time it is just tempering and improvement, not a completely new and complete creation, so the difficulty is lowered.
In the process of refining weapons, Zhang Tieshan has the guidance of the weapon spirit, which is better than the average fourth-level weapon refining master.
The remnants of the Lingbao he owns are made of gold and iron ore. The first generation owner of the original Lingbao happened to be a fifth-level weapon refiner, who was influenced by the weapon spirit and became proficient in the knowledge of weapon refinement.
“With the two nail-head materials I owe on credit, Lu will help Jinyun Valley build a quasi-fourth-level puppet in the future.”
Lu Changan promised.
Zhang Tieshan had stored a lot of gold and iron magic materials, which saved him some time.
“Zhang will wait and see.”
Zhang Tianfeng looked forward to suspecting that Lu Changan might already have a fourth-level puppet.
…
Return to Evergreen Peak Dojo.
Lu Changan followed the tunnel and entered the underground palace.
Under the cover of the formation restriction, he simply tested a nail-headed arrow.
In addition to the lethality of the soul, the sharpness and penetrating characteristics of the nail head have been improved by several percent. However, the consumption of mana and consciousness has also been significantly increased.
This is the disadvantage of saving materials. The amount of materials required for three nail-head arrows is enough to obtain a normal top-grade magic weapon.
Therefore, Lu Changan bought a thick [Dragon Wood Staff] from Fairy Zixia, and he was good at frontal fighting.
“The power of [Nailhead Arrow] has increased, and coupled with [Black Sky Wings], my magical power has improved significantly compared to the battle of the Seven True Lords and the Demon Sealing Battle.”
Lu Changan's confidence has greatly increased, and he is confident that he will establish himself in the Daqing world of immortality.
When the Double Dragons of the Central Realm first became famous, his supernatural peacock had not been promoted to the fourth level.
Even Lord Diyan has received a set of magical weapons to compete with the veteran Nascent Soul in the early stages.
In the past, Lu Changan could compete with the mid-stage Nascent Soul through positional warfare, but he could not do anything to the opponent and the threat was limited.
Now, with improved attack and mobility, Lu Changan is confident of defeating many mid-stage Nascent Soul players.
Such strength may not be able to change the general trend of the entire Eastern Region, but it can already influence or even influence the situation in a certain region.
Lu Changan’s treasure house of magic far exceeds that of ordinary Nascent Soul Lord, and can be used to deal with various situations.
The ones with the highest quality are [Black Wind Cloak], [Nail Arrow], and [Black Sky Wing].
There are also magic weapons that are not commonly used, such as the Lihuo Gourd and the sea flag magic weapon left behind by True Lord Chahai.
“Now back to Daqing, this treasure can also be used in certain environments.”
Lu Changan raised his hand and took out a sea flag magic weapon with a shape similar to the [Hai Tian Holy Flag].
As the mana is injected into it, a surging watery light lingers on the sea flag.
This sea flag magic weapon was created by Zhenjun Chahai based on inheritance. Its quality is slightly inferior to the [Haitian Holy Flag], but it consumes less mana and is more suitable for the early stage of Nascent Soul.
At the time when he was fighting against True Lord Chahai, his cultivation level had declined and he was not in full strength, so he did not exert the true power of this treasure.
In the past, in Dayuan, Lu Changan was worried that the characteristics of the Haiqi magic weapon would be revealed to the Sixteen Zhenhai Sects, so he kept it sealed.
…
"The Demonic War in the Guardian Alliance will not resume in the short term. During this period of peace, you can go to Feng Yuan Kingdom."
After the magic weapon was greatly enhanced, Lu Changan planned to go to Feng Yuan Kingdom.
When he left Daqing, he owed a favor to the Heavenly Master.
On Feng Yuan Kingdom's side, Lu Changan also left behind some connections, such as Fairy Niyue of Xuanyin Pavilion, the descendant of Master Lihuo, Guan Qiaozhi's reincarnation of Yun Ling, etc.
Going to Feng Yuan Kingdom, the boundary between the two religions is no longer far away, which is just the right time for Wei Puppet Master to take revenge and fulfill the agreement made back then.
Lu Changan summoned the Wei puppet master and planned the itinerary with him and discussed the details.
“Lu Zhenjun is indeed true to his word.”
Master Wei's tone was excited, and the puppet's eyes showed gratitude.
In order to express his gratitude, Master Wei revealed to Lu Changan a chance secret about the Thousand Machines Sect:
“The inheritance of the Thousand Machines Sect first came from Zhongzhou in the Tianheng Continent. This force has a secret method to suppress the religion, called the "Qian Ji Yan Shen Jue", which is a unique skill of the Puppet Refining Holy Land."
“The Art of Thousand Machines to Evolve the Gods can increase the success rate of puppet creation and make puppet control more sophisticated. What’s even more amazing is that this secret technique can greatly improve the monk’s spiritual consciousness.”
After listening to Wei Puppet Master's description, Lu Changan's heart skipped a beat.
Just because it can greatly improve the strength of a monk's spiritual consciousness, this is the top spiritual secret technique in the world of immortality.
The puppet inheritance that Lu Changan has received so far is relatively complex. It has been collected and accumulated in the past, obtained from Yuanying's memory, and also taught by Wei Puppet Master.
Master Wei Puppet Master’s puppet inheritance also includes high-level secret techniques of controlling puppets, making his spiritual consciousness more condensed and exquisitely controlled.
Compared to "Qian Ji Yan Shen Jue", it is more than one level behind. Although it is of the same origin, it is a castrated peripheral version.
Although Puppet Master Wei’s talent for puppetry is amazing, he was not promoted to the Nascent Soul stage that year. As soon as he created a fourth-level puppet, his fellow disciples who sponsored him to join forces picked peaches, raped, and killed his wife and daughter.
At that time, Puppet Master Wei had not yet entered the high-level core of the Thousand Machines Sect and had no access to the "Qianji Evolution of the Gods", but he had long been fascinated by it.
"Don't worry, Old Wei! If you are lucky enough to get the "Qian Ji Yan Shen Jue", Ben Zhenjun will study and share it with you."
Lu Changan smiled happily and patted Master Wei on the shoulder.
Because he kept his promise and sincerely helped in revenge, Lu Changan won the gratitude and trust of Wei Puppet Master, and then "colluded" with him, an outsider, to obtain the supreme secret technique of Qianji Sect.
Of course, Wei Puppet Master may not have selfish motives. "Qian Ji Yan Shen Jue" is quite attractive to puppet refining wizards like him, and he definitely wants to study it.
…
The next day, Lu Changan went to the sect hall and met with the current sect leader Huo Zhen.
Huo Zhen is Zhang Tianfeng's personal disciple. He is in the middle stage of alchemy formation. He has met him at Zhang Tianfeng's dojo before.
“Lu Zhenjun, this jade slip contains relevant information about Nightless City.”
Master Huo held the junior ceremony with a respectful tone and handed over a jade slip.
“Okay, sorry to trouble you.”
Lu Changan took the jade slip and scanned the information inside with his spiritual consciousness.
As a great minister of the sect, Lu Changan does not have to do many things himself, he can just leave it to the juniors.
“The former Wuye Town was expanded into the ‘Wuye Immortal City’ under the management of Wuye Master ‘Jiang Yechen’. It is now the holy land of the Liang Kingdom’s immortal cultivators, and has absorbed refugees from other countries who fled from the Demonic War.”
“Jiang Yechen was lucky enough to get the opportunity during the Demonic War eighty years ago to break through to the late stage of pill formation and firmly sit on the throne of the number one casual cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation in Liang Kingdom.”
Lu Changan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Jiang Yechen to go further.
This guy's qualifications are indeed good, but his background power is not enough. Lu Changan originally thought that he would be like Zhenren Huanglong, trapped in the middle stage of the pill formation for his whole life.
“Shi Xiaochuan, a true elixir cultivator, inherited the formation inheritance of the former formation master Shi Manrong, and is better than his master. Now he is the chief formation master of Wuye Fairy City, in charge of the formations of the fairy city.”
Shi Xiaochuan's achievements were within Lu Changan's expectations.
This son has high-grade spiritual roots and excellent formation talent. He has been trained by Jiang Yechen and Shi Xianzi, and he can be regarded as a second-generation immortal.
Lu Changan visited Wuye Town that year and gave Shi Xianzi the Life-Extension Pill. He had met Shi Xiaochuan when he was a boy. At that time, I had a good impression on him, and he was relatively docile.
Since then, I have never seen him.
"It has been three years since Ben Zhenjun returned to Liang Kingdom. As a junior, this boy has never come to pay a visit or send a greeting card?"
Lu Changan was unhappy about this, so he couldn't condescend to him and went to Wuye Town himself to beg the boy to honor his favor.
“It seems that in Jiang Yechen’s subsequent teachings, this son had misunderstandings and prejudices about Ben Zhenjun’s past.”
It is not difficult for Lu Changan to guess the reason.
Shi Xiaochuan was a bit arrogant under the influence of his adoptive father and was unwilling to come over to cling to him, even if there was a formal favor commitment.
“The world of immortality has been changing rapidly, and the years have passed. Lord Benzhen will not believe that there will be a day when you don’t ask for help.”
Lu Changan was calm and gave up the idea of going to Wuye Town in person.
If the other party fails to honor the promise he made, he will naturally not feel guilty.
According to his understanding, Nightless City is in the immortal world of Liang Kingdom, and its situation is not as good as imagined.
The Nightless City represents the interests of the casual cultivators and provides shelter for refugees. This inevitably conflicts with the interests of the mainstream sects in the Liang Kingdom in the early years.
The area of Nightless City belongs to the sphere of influence of the Jinyang Sect.
Due to the profound foundation of the Jinyang Sect, the two Nascent Soul Lords have been maintained, and they still control two-thirds of the territory of the Liang Kingdom's immortal world.
As Nightless City grows bigger, it faces pressure from the Jinyang Sect camp and is infiltrated by the forces of various chambers of commerce, who want to carve up the benefits.
Just like the replica of the Huanglong Immortal City in the early years, after the Huanglong Mountain lineage was overthrown, many benefits allowed Lihuo Palace and other sects to regain their health.
However, due to the external crisis of the demonic invasion and the various prohibitions imposed by the Wei Dao Alliance, the Jin Yangzong camp's methods must be more restrained and not blatant.
…
half a month later.
The border of Feng Yuan Kingdom.
An elegant middle-aged man in blue shirt walked through the blue light, passing through the endless sandy chasm, and arrived at an ancient civilization in the center of the desert.
“After hundreds of years, the harsh environment of Feng Yuan Kingdom has remained almost unchanged.”
Xu Xuan, a middle-aged man in a green shirt, looked at the faintly visible black spots of the oasis in the distance, which seemed so small in the yellow sandstorm in the sky.
Stepping onto this land again, the familiar scene seems to have appeared yesterday.
Of course, there are also different perceptions.
His deep and ethereal eyes discerned the invisible web of heaven and earth destiny, which had been woven and laid out for hundreds of years, deeply rooted, and integrated with the destiny of civilization in this desert country.
“The fortune-telling of the Celestial Master follows the flow of national destiny, integrating with the destiny of a civilization, carrying prosperity and prosperity together, with advantages and disadvantages.”
Compared to back then, Lu Changan could see more.
Phew!
In the desert ahead, strong winds rose suddenly and sand gathered. The originally scorching weather turned into a piece of icy snowflakes appearing out of thin air.
“Which true king came to visit Feng Yuan Kingdom uninvited?”
In the field of vision ahead, large flakes of sand and snow condensed into a statue of a Taoist standing with his hands behind his back, wearing a snow-white robe, and a hollow and cold voice came from the statue.
The statue of the snow-robed Taoist stands with his hands behind his back. Although it is a dead object, it seems to be integrated with the entire desert, containing the endless power of nature.
“Haha, Your Majesty the Heavenly Master, it has only taken a hundred years for you to not be able to recognize Xu?”
Lu Changan smiled lightly.
Boom!
As he stepped into the boundary of Feng Yuan Kingdom, two fourth-level divination powers of heaven and earth collided together, causing the surrounding heaven and earth destiny silk mesh to shatter.
The mysterious long river stirs up tiny ripples, affecting the causal destiny of countless ant creatures.
“It’s really you!”
From the statue of Taoist Xuepao, the voice of the Heavenly Master came as expected.
But immediately, the collision and roar of the heavenly secrets and destiny shocked the Heavenly Master's consciousness, and an unbelievable voice of surprise came:
“You...actually stepped into this situation..."
