Chapter 323 Dialogue with the Heavenly Master

Three years later.

In the secret room of the cave, Lu Changan, who was over 285 years old, installed the last refined foot part on the lower limbs of the bamboo hat assassin.

There was a dark and cold light in the eyes of the bamboo hat puppet assassin, and the fluctuations of his soul were almost the same as those of human monks.

call out! Poof!

The phantom flashed, and a shuriken stabbed out of the sleeve of the bamboo hat puppet, piercing the mana shield of Lu Changan's golden elixir middle stage.

Ding!

The remaining power of the shuriken was cold, and it struck Lu Changan's arm. The sound of gold and iron was heard, but no further attack could be made.

"Finally, I have reached the threshold of the third-level high-grade weapon! If I were not a third-level high-grade weapon refiner, I would not have enough materials."

Lu Changan smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past four or five years, with the help of the weapon refiner, the Assassin Puppet has been raised to a whole new level through refining and transformation.

The strength of the bamboo hat assassin has reached the threshold of the late stage of pill formation, and his strength is slightly inferior to that of Fang Zhen back then.

However, it is no problem to hit two pill formations in the mid-term.

In the short term, it will be difficult for Lu Changan to gather the materials for a second third-level high-grade puppet.

Even if he has sufficient financial resources and a certain amount of connections to draw on, it would normally take decades to gather the materials for a third-level high-quality puppet.

Even if you get it all together, the refining may not be successful, and the risk of failure is not small.

Another Charming Girl puppet clone also has the potential to be promoted to the third level of high quality.

The illusion method of the charm clone mainly relies on the power of the soul possessed by the second life, so it is not in a hurry.

The two puppet clones working together are enough to suppress the general Pill Formation Overhaul.

"Unfortunately, the materials for making a supernatural peacock puppet are still lacking. And with the existing puppet skills and heritage, the success rate is too low."

Lu Changan was a little regretful, he had to find a way to obtain the core puppet inheritance of Qianji Sect, including the technique of puppet array.

…

After Lu Changan left the customs, the maid Yun Ling presented a jade slip.

"Mr. Xu, this is the latest information on the demonic war sent by the Pavilion Master."

Nowadays, Lu Changan does not have to do it himself for routine intelligence on the demonic war.

Xuanyin Pavilion has a complete intelligence organization. Due to Lu Changan, the master of Niyue Pavilion will pay special attention to this aspect of intelligence.

The Demonic War was restarted and lasted for four to five years.

"The lucky son of Jing Kingdom, 'Ling Yu Zhenjun', has been missing during this war."

Lu Changan checked the information in the jade slips.

Among them, the one who influenced the war pattern, Zhenjun Lingyu, was his key target.

Although Lord Ling Yu did not show up, Beast King Valley did not invade the Jing Kingdom on a large scale, but instead placed some of its targets on the Heng Kingdom in the eastern rear of the Feng Kingdom.

Hengguo is a small and medium-sized immortal kingdom similar to Jingguo, and does not have fourth-level spiritual veins.

When Lu Changan was in Wangyue Fairy City to form the Immortal Golden Pill, Granny Yan and Zhu Yuting he met were Hengguo monks.

Lu Changan once considered this place as an option to escape and cultivate, but now it seems that he cannot escape the fate of being invaded by the devil.

"The old palace master of the Proud Moon Palace, 'True Lord Long Yue', died in the battle on the demonic battlefield and was killed by the Great Elder of the Beast King Valley."

After the restart of the Demonic War, this is the news of the death of the first True Lord of the Defending Alliance.

Lu Changan secretly thought that thanks to the successful relay of Aoyue Palace more than ten years ago, a new Nascent Soul Lord was born, who was Xia Wenyue's master.

Otherwise, the Nascent Soul inheritance of Aoyue Palace may be cut off in today's general environment.

"Zhang Tianfeng was promoted to the late stage of Dan Jie a few years ago. A year ago, he was seriously injured and a well-known Dan Jie major cultivator in the Demonic Path. He killed two True Alchemy cultivators in the Beast King Valley and became famous in the Demonic Dao battlefield."

At the same time, Lu Changan also learned information about his old friend.

Today, Zhang Tieshan has a great reputation in the Wei Dao League and ranks among the top three in the list of merits among the alchemy monks!

For those monks who have made numerous military exploits, the Alliance of Defenders will reward them heavily.

Lu Changan was even tempted by the precious resources that could be redeemed on the battle merit list.

"The spiritual object that creates a baby! The object that transforms calamity!"

Among them, the top Nascent Soul-level opportunity is extremely tempting to the alchemy monks, and all the major sects are also keen on it.

The highest reward is a low-quality Infant Transformation Pill!

When Lu Changan heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he almost had the idea of ​​gaining military exploits.

After all, his own strength was outstanding among the others during the pill formation stage. Liang Shaotian, Peacock Saint and other top alchemy masters are no match for him.

"Don't fall for the Wei Dao League's tricks!"

Lu Changan understood that the purpose of the Weidao League was to encourage monks to fight bravely against the enemy, alleviate the conflicts and dissatisfaction between the middle and lower classes, and give some hope of promotion.

Expropriation alone is not enough.

If they are not given any sweetness and have no hope of promotion to the upper levels, how can those middle- and high-level monks be willing to fight on the battlefield?

Lu Changan estimated that the Infant Transformation Pill and the Infant Formation Spiritual Artifact would most likely end up in the hands of the Pill Formation cultivators of the major sects, leaving casual cultivators with basically no hope.

Moreover, the top ones on the merit list must be the key targets of the Beast King Valley, and may even be targeted by the Nascent Soul Lord.

…

Lu Changan's established plan has not wavered!

In order to obtain more accurate information.

After the late third-level puppet was first formed, he quietly left Feng Yuan Kingdom and let the bamboo hat assassin puppet enter Liang Kingdom to meet Xing Peng.

This time, Lu Changan received shocking news.

According to Xing Peng, Beast King Valley spent a lot of money to invite the mysterious and supreme master of Wujiang Sect.

The lucky son of Jing Kingdom may have been restrained by the leader of the Wujian Sect.

The master of Wujian Sect possesses the "faceless" disguise treasure, which can be transformed into thousands of identities, making it impossible to detect.

In the past hundreds of years, the leader of Wujian Sect rarely made a move. Whenever he did, a Yuanying Zhenjun of the hostile forces would fall, and some of them were in the middle stage of Yuanying.

"I don't know who will win or lose in the clash between the son of luck and the leader of Wujian Sect."

Lu Changan became interested.

Unfortunately, this level of confrontation and game was not something he could spy on.

Taking advantage of the trip back, the puppet clone stabilized the "Gu Shen Ban" in Zhou Qingxuan's sea of ​​consciousness.

Lu Changan's unique ban, with the improvement of the Yuanying realm, has reached a higher level, and it is difficult for ordinary Zhenjun to resolve it.

There are two pieces of news about the Beast Control Zhou family, one good and one bad.

The good news is that a Zhendan cultivator was born in the Beast Control Zhou family in recent years.

It must be said that the outbreak of war has made it easier for some upper-level resources to circulate.

The bad news is.

Zhou Qingxuan, the ancestor of the Zhou family, only has a few decades left to live, and the original third-level spirit beast that guarded the clan is already old and eventually died on the battlefield in exchange for a military exploit.

Lu Changan calculated that Zhou Qingxuan was 20 years younger than him and could at least live until he was promoted to the late stage of the Golden Core.

On the contrary, even though Master Fairy had taken the third-level longevity pill to extend her lifespan by 20 years, her lifespan was now only more than 10 years.

…

Returning to the gate of the Oasis Mountain of Xuanyin Pavilion, Lu Changan continued to cultivate, collect materials, and strengthen the third-level top-grade puppet.

Another three years passed.

Lu Changan was 288 years old.

On this day, Fairy Qiu, who was out, brought back an unusual guest.

It was an elegant man with silver hair and snow robes, walking side by side with Fairy Qiu, like a couple of gods.

"Pavilion Master, this is Mr. Xuesong, the elder of the Snow Mountain Holy Land."

Fairy Qiu, who used to be cold and aloof, seemed to have melted the winter snow, and a tender smile appeared in her eyes.

Fairy Ni Yue looked at Fairy Qiu deeply and suppressed her unhappiness.

She naturally saw that the youngest female cultivator of the True Core in Xuanyin Pavilion was no longer a perfect virgin.

As the elder of the True Dan of Xuanyin Pavilion, he actually took the initiative to bring the people of the Snow Mountain Holy Land of Fengyuan Country back to the mountain gate.

"This Fairy Qiu has been bewitched by the Heavenly Master and can't distinguish the primary from the secondary."

Before the two arrived, Lu Changan had a subtle feeling and paid attention to this scene.

It can only be said that the Heavenly Master's level is high enough. The attitude of Fairy Qiu towards "Mr. Xu" before was neither cold nor hot, quite reserved and noble, but now she is a little bit outward.

"Mr. Xuesong, please come in."

Fairy Ni Yue smiled and politely welcomed Mr. Xuesong to the main hall of Xuanyin Pavilion.

In any case, the Snow Mountain Holy Land and Xuanyin Pavilion have personal exchanges and maintain a good relationship.

Mr. Xuesong at the moment is a late stage of Jindan.

In the hall, Fairy Ni Yue chatted with Mr. Xuesong alone for a long time.

Lu Changan did not rashly explore with his spiritual sense.

Mr. Xuesong did not leave that day, but stayed in Xuanyin Pavilion.

At night, Fairy Niyue found Lu Changan and explained Mr. Xuesong's intention.

"Elder Xuesong came to propose marriage and wanted Xiaoqiu to become Tianshi's concubine."

Fairy Niyue looked worried, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse.

If Fairy Qiu left, Xuanyin Pavilion would lose a female elder of the True Pill.

Even though the gift from the Snow Mountain Holy Land was very generous, including a crystal condensing pill.

"Propose marriage? This is a good thing. Xuanyin Pavilion has found a big backer."

Lu Changan said in a relaxed tone.

He was half an outsider and didn't care about it.

"At the same time, the Snow Mountain Holy Land is willing to help Xuanyin Pavilion build a mountain gate of the third-level upper-grade spiritual vein. But Xuanyin Pavilion must listen to the orders of the Snow Mountain Holy Land and perform certain tasks."

Fairy Niyue added.

Hearing this, Lu Changan couldn't help but chuckle.

Tianshi didn't want to take a concubine. It felt that he wanted the entire Xuanyin Pavilion to become a subsidiary force of Fengyuan Country.

At present, Xuanyin Pavilion is rooted in the outer sect alliance area, which is relatively free and developing smoothly.

The Outer Sect Alliance is located on the edge of the power of the Fengyuan Kingdom tribe and belongs to the newly developed desert territory.

This place gathers all kinds of monks from the three streams and nine sects, including migrants from the Fengyuan Kingdom and fugitives.

The Outer Sect Alliance has no fourth-level spiritual veins and no Yuanying Zhenjun sitting in it.

But behind the scenes, there are Yuanying Zhenjuns from the two sects who secretly support it.

The influence of the Snow Mountain Holy Land on the Outer Sect Alliance is actually relatively limited. The latter only belongs to the sphere of influence of Fengyuan Kingdom in name.

The Outer Sect Alliance once went to war with the Fengyuan Kingdom tribe, but it was later abandoned.

The existence of the Outer Sect Alliance promoted the prosperity of Fengyuan Kingdom's trade. Without affecting its core interests, the Heavenly Master turned a blind eye.

…

The next morning, Elder Xuesong came to visit Lu Changan's cave.

Lu Changan had expected this.

Elder Xuesong, representing the will of the Heavenly Master, would inevitably come to test his own footing.

At this time, he must not show his cowardice.

Lu Changan generously welcomed Elder Xuesong in and had a secret conversation in the tea room.

Elder Xuesong was elegant in manners, and his snow-white robe was exquisitely crafted, without a speck of dust or dirt.

Even when Yunling brought the tea, he would flick it to shake off the tiny specks of dust hidden at the bottom of the teacup.

Lu Changan suspected that he had mysophobia.

"Mr. Xuesong, please taste the tea."

Hearing this, Elder Xuesong took a sip of the tea, frowned slightly, and then did not touch a drop.

"What is Mr. Xu's connection with 'Master Lihuo'? Why do you take care of his descendants for no reason?"

Elder Xuesong put down the teacup and glanced at the direction where Yunling left.

A seemingly casual remark hit the nail on the head.

Lu Changan sensed the implicit sense of prying at this time, but maintained a calm expression.

"Senior Celestial Master performed the 'Spirit Possession Technique' and came to visit. Xu was flattered."

Lu Changan was not polite and saw through the identity and reality of the Heavenly Master in person.

Although Elder Xuesong, who is possessed by the Heavenly Master, is in the late stage of pill formation, at critical moments, he can let the Heavenly Master's magical power descend from the air, exerting his strength at the threshold of the Nascent Soul in a short period of time.

"Mr. Xu, he is indeed a mysterious man in the hidden world. Pindao's 'method of possessing spirits' is difficult to detect in the non-fighting state and at the Nascent Soul stage."

Elder Xuesong looked slightly surprised and admitted frankly.

It turns out that the elder Xuesong in front of him is the true will of the Heavenly Master of Feng Yuan Kingdom.

"Xu has been in the realm of the Outer Sect Alliance for many years and has never heard of the Heavenly Master coming here in person. But has he made an agreement with the True Lord Yuanying of the two sects?"

Lu Changan asked curiously.

"Although there is no explicit agreement, there is a tacit understanding between this Heavenly Master and those two old monsters, and the water in the well does not conflict with the water in the river."

Xuesong nodded.

There is another reason. After leaving the tribal area of ​​Feng Yuan Kingdom, his magical power has been reduced.

Regarding this, most of the nearby Nascent Soul Lords knew about this.

Liang Kingdom is one of the immortal-cultivating kingdoms closest to Feng Yuan Kingdom in the Wei Dao Alliance.

Back then, Master Lihuo had a certain understanding of the Heavenly Master.

This is also the reason why Lu Changan dared to face the person possessed by the Celestial Master.

The Heavenly Master is both a Taoist monk, and is even more homely than Lu Changan, and basically never leaves an acre of land.

As long as he stays in the Holy Land of Snow Mountain and the hinterland of Feng Yuan Kingdom, Tianshi can be compared to the mid-stage Yuanying, and no one around the Yuanying old monsters can threaten him.

There are certain risks if you leave this area.

"Mr. Xu, I haven't answered the question just now."

Xuesong just answered Lu Changan's question and asked again.

According to his calculations, the cause of this problem may involve Lu Changan's heels.

"The answer is simple."

Lu Changan smiled lightly and said truthfully:

"Yun Ling's past life was the reincarnation of the maid on Little Turtle Peak. When we meet again, I just take care of her."

"Reincarnation?"

This answer was beyond the Heavenly Master's expectation and was truly surprising.

Involving the secret of reincarnation, confirming the identity of previous reincarnations is not something ordinary Yuanying can do.

As a fourth-level divination master, the Celestial Master can only roughly judge the identity of the past life through divination calculations when he meets an old friend from reincarnation in person.

As for Lu Changan, his divination skills did not reach the fourth level, but he was able to determine his identity.

I wanted to explore Lu Changan's background, but the final answer made the Tianshi face a lot of mystery.

"If the Heavenly Master doesn't believe it, it's not difficult to confirm the situation of Yun Ling's heels after knowing the answer."

Lu Changan is so confident because this is an information barrier established with the "Nine Seal Monument" and the secret of reincarnation, which naturally blocks divination calculations.

If the Heavenly Master speculates in this direction, he will only fall deeper and deeper into confusion.

As long as you can't see through his heels, with the prudence of the Heavenly Master, a wise man will be wary and will not dare to threaten Lu Changan.

Moreover, Lu Changan now has the means to protect himself and run away in front of True Lord Nascent Soul.

Even if the Heavenly Master comes to the foreign sect alliance in person and his strength is greatly reduced, Lu Changan will not be afraid and have no strength to resist.

"The world is full of wonders. Mr. Xu opened my eyes."

The Heavenly Master opened his eyes, and after reasoning back from earlier, he found that what Lu Changan said was true.

He couldn't help but sigh, and his tone of voice was a bit more humble.

After this calculation, he faced an unfathomable mystery, and Lu Changan's whereabouts could not be explored.

In this way, I am afraid that only the ten Xuanmen sects in the Central Region can jointly lay out a plan to achieve this.

"The Heavenly Master is full of praise. If you were to talk about divination, Xu would look up to the mountain and stop."

Lu Changan said politely.

Too much is not enough, and he doesn't have to be pretentious.

Even if you deceive the Heavenly Master, you must remain humble and low-key.

The subsequent chat was in a pleasant atmosphere, as if both parties were on equal terms with each other.

The topic of Heavenly Master went around to the ten sects of Xuanmen, trying to find out Lu Changan's purpose.

Lu Changan kept secret about the topic of the "Ten Sects of Xuanmen", but said that he was friends rather than enemies with the Celestial Master, and had no dealings with the six demonic sects.

Chatted for half an hour.

The Heavenly Master discovered that Lu Changan was knowledgeable and his vision was at least at the Yuanying level.

Lu Changan can even tell a thing about the state boundaries outside "Qingzhou" and knows some human geography.

This made the Celestial Master who stayed at home all day long felt inferior to himself.

From this, he was sure that even if Lu Changan was not the layout of the ten Xuanmen sects, he was the Nascent Soul old monster who had taken over or reincarnated, and was definitely not a good person.

…

In the afternoon of that day, Elder Xuesong said goodbye and left without mentioning concubinage again, leaving Xuanyin Pavilion as a vassal force.

Inside the cave, Lu Changan breathed a sigh of relief.

After chatting and laughing with the old monster Yuanying for half an hour, I felt mentally and physically exhausted. Every word I used must be careful and precise.

If he had not truly experienced the fourth life as a Nascent Soul, and his conversation and knowledge were consistent with his status, there would be no way he could have deceived the Heavenly Master.

That kind of picture-book biography of a foundation-building, elixir-forming monk who has no relevant experience and knowledge and can suppress the True Monarch Nascent Soul is simply a joke.

If you really meet the Yuanying old monster, your mood will be slightly disturbed, and any loopholes in your words will be seen through at a glance.

During this conversation, Lu Changan learned two important pieces of information:

First, the situation of the Heavenly Master is not as transcendent as imagined. He is sitting aloft and watching the clouds rise and fall around him.

The Heavenly Master is not only afraid of the Six Demonic Sects, but also has long-term concerns.

At the same time, a few Yuanying old monsters in the two sects' territories have been involved in and spied on the border of Fengyuan Country.

The situation in the two sects' territories is chaotic, and a few Yuanying old monsters can't make it and intend to move to Fengyuan Country.

Lu Changan suspects that there may be important secrets in the Snow Mountain Holy Land, which is open to the outside world.

The two sects' branch forces on the side of the outer sect alliance have the secret support of the Yuanying old monsters.

However, the Tianshi is proficient in divination and basically does not leave the native land. It is difficult for the Yuanying old monsters in the two sects' territories to find a breakthrough.

Second, the core inheritance of Qianji Sect.

Regarding the details of the two sects' branches in the outer sect alliance, the Tianshi knows everything.

Lu Changan realized that the Tianshi might want his help to actively resolve the crisis in the future, rather than passively defending and staying at home.

"The Qianji Sect branch on the outer sect alliance side actually has a quasi-fourth-order puppet, and also controls the third-order puppet army formation. Even if Yuanying Zhenjun comes to kill, they can deal with it."

"The branch of the Five Poison Sect even has the fourth-order poison and the soul-stirring poison, which can threaten Yuanying Zhenjun."

Learning about the trump cards of the two sects, Lu Changan was quite surprised.

If Fang Zhen, who had just entered the middle stage of Jindan and overwhelmed the great cultivation of Jindan, thought that he could look down on the outer sect alliance and be invincible under the Yuanying stage, then he would be wrong.

Lu Changan suspected that the Heavenly Master revealed so much because he hoped that he would be tempted to take action and conflict with the two sects to reduce the latter's strength.

But this is an open conspiracy.

Even if Lu Changan knew, he would also seek corresponding resources to increase the trump cards to compete with Yuanying Zhenjun.

Lu Changan planned to wait until the late stage of the third stage of body refining, or promoted to the late stage of Jindan, and then make a long-term plan and plan this matter.

In the earlier chapters, I found that some readers thought reincarnation was too advanced. When it was slightly touched upon, they felt it was exaggerated. In fact, it was the setting of the book.

In Mortals, Han Lao Mo also met several reincarnated old friends when he was in the Nascent Soul stage. I remember that there was the formation master Xin Ruyin, and I forgot a few others.

In my country's classical mythology, such as Liao Zhai, some female ghosts or scholars, who were not great cultivators or immortals, also continued their past lives. These are all more down-to-earth secrets of reincarnation. In Journey to the West, the underworld that controls the six reincarnations is not so high-end. It is nothing more than the rules of normal operation of the world, similar to the five elements.

And the protagonist of this book, the Golden Finger Nine Seals Stele, is a treasure of the reincarnation rules. After becoming a high-level cultivator, it is reasonable for him to meet old people from his previous life after he first touched upon the fur of reincarnation.
