Chapter 414: Patching the Sky and Invigorating the Soul, a Trip to Fengguo
Changqing Peak, in front of the circular water pool.
Li Huizhu stared at the black water turtle in the water, her eyes wide open, waiting anxiously.
She came here with Di Yanjun and Xunbaoshu, and had a smooth journey, but she didn't dare to trespass into the Taoist temple of the True Lord.
In the evening, Lu Changan returned and saw the beautiful woman in purple skirt with the cultivation of Zhendan, who looked a little familiar.
On the eve of Mu Bingyun's death, this woman had come to the Mu family in Feiyue Lake with Li Congren, and she was still a girl at that time.
Lu Changan did not show up in public at that time. In addition to seeing Mu Bingyun for the last time, he talked with Li Congren privately.
"Greetings to True Lord Lu, I am Li Huizhu, the patriarch of the Li family in Xuemei Mountain..."
The tall and handsome man in white came into view, and Li Huizhu's heart surged, and she bowed immediately.
As a participant in the revision of "The Legend of Changqing" and "The Journey of the Black Turtle", she has been in spiritual contact with the most legendary True Lord in Liang State for a long time.
She thought to herself that no cultivator in the future generations understood Changqing Zhenjun better than herself.
At this moment, the legend came true, and she finally met Changqing Zhenjun in person, so she was naturally very excited.
"Come in."
Lu Changan waved his hand, opened the formation restriction, and let Li Huizhu enter the Changqing Peak Dojo.
In the cave, Lu Changan and Li Huizhu chatted for less than half an hour.
Through Li Huizhu's narration, Lu Changan learned about the current situation of the Li family in Xuemei Mountain.
In the ancestral hall of Xuemei Mountain, Li Erqing's spirit tablet was placed in the first place, as the ancestor of the Li family; Li Congren, the founder of the family, was placed in the deputy position.
Lu Changan secretly thought that if Xiao Qingshan could return to Daqingliang Kingdom one day and see the bloodline and incense continued in his previous life, he would definitely feel gratified.
As the most promising grandson of Li Erqing, Li Congren did not disappoint.
The communication time was too short, and Li Huizhu was still not satisfied.
Lu Zhenjun listened more to understand, and mentioned the Qi family that had taken root in Wuqi Mountain. Perhaps there was some deep meaning.
The Qi family was the descendant of Lu Changan's adoptive father, and they had taken root in the Liang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world, and regarded Guan Qiaozhi as their grandmother.
After leaving the Changqing Peak Dojo, Li Huizhu felt a little disappointed. This time, she did not get any opportunity to guide her when she met Lu Zhenjun.
This was the treatment her grandfather had enjoyed, but she did not.
Because the treasure-hunting rat was still in the Changqing Dojo, Li Huizhu was arranged to stay in the guest room of Jinyun Valley.
When she returned, she noticed the subtle changes in the reception of cultivators in Jinyun Valley, and was warm and polite to them, not daring to neglect them.
Li Huizhu suddenly realized that she was greedy.
Among the many younger generations who visited her, she was the only one who was received by Lu Zhenjun, which itself had enough gold content.
Although she did not give anything, it benefited the Li family of Xuemei Mountain a lot and had intangible value.
At the level of Lu Zhenjun, his words and deeds have a great impact on the outside world, and his decisions can even affect the Liang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world.
Three days later.
Li Huizhu finally saw the treasure-hunting rat that had grown fatter, and a big stone in her heart fell.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Li Huizhu checked the treasure-hunting rat and found that it was not damaged. It seemed that it had eaten something good, and its demonic power was more surging and its breath was purer.
The treasure-hunting rat was only at the peak of the second level, and the fourth-level rat king's fingers leaked a little, which was a great opportunity for the former.
Li Huizhu was unable to say goodbye to Lu Zhenjun in person. She took the treasure-hunting rat and bowed to the Changqing Peak Dojo, and then she was satisfied and returned to her clan.
...
In the underground palace of Changqing Peak.
"I didn't expect that you, a rat demon, would still consider the relationship and help the younger generation."
Lu Changan said with a smile.
"A red man is red when he is near a red man, and a black man is black when he is near a black man. The mouse learned the human touch because of the positive influence of the master."
Di Yanjun shrank his neck and said shyly with a guilty conscience.
It thought to itself, could it be that the master discovered that it used the resources in the small treasury?
After being the sacred beast of the Yunxia Sect for so many years, and occasionally going out to beg for money, and experiencing the turmoil of demons, Di Yanjun also accumulated his own private small treasury.
Lu Changan did not dwell on this matter.
Although the affection between the ancestors faded and there was no debt, he and Di Yanshu had a good relationship with the Xuemei Mountain lineage.
The Li family of Xuemei Mountain was accomplished and filial, so it would be fine to take care of them.
What Lu Changan regretted was that the adopted son of the fairy master, "Shi Xiaochuan", did not come.
In the early years, Jiang Yechen was blamed and suffered heavy injuries and losses. Lu Changan owed something, and took the initiative to promise to owe a favor before leaving.
But Jiang Yechen was quite proud and refused to accept Lu Changan's favor.
He said: If Lu Changan is willing, he should make this promise to Shi Xiaochuan, the adopted son of Master Fairy.
Therefore, the only promise Lu Changan owed in Liang State fell on Shi Xiaochuan.
Shi Xiaochuan was a top-grade spiritual root with a high talent for formations. He was trained by Jiang Yechen and Shi Manrong and spent a lot of energy.
Now, Shi Xiaochuan is also a famous Jindan Zhenren and a third-level formation master in Liang State.
When Lu Changan returned from forming an infant, Jiang Yechen and Shi Xiaochuan did not come to visit him.
These two adopted father and son were quite talented and arrogant, and they probably disdained to curry favor with their superiors.
You know, even Mu Jiuan's wife Yu Yufu, who was in a different camp of the Jinyang Sect, came to congratulate in person, but did not stay and left a congratulatory card.
"It would be interesting if there were more cultivators with such personality in the world of cultivation."
Lu Changan smiled and had no prejudice against this.
He came to the deepest part of the underground palace, the garden secret room with many restrictions.
The Xuantian gourd vine was reconnected to the earth's energy and grew steadily. This underground palace is also connected to the circular water pool of Changqing Peak by a secret passage, which is located under the water.
The Xuanshui turtle has more space for activities, which is convenient for cultivation and taking care of the Xuantian gourd vine.
More than a hundred years have passed since the Xuan vine sprouted, and its growth is relatively slow.
But after growing for so long, the buds of the Xuan vine have grown a little bit and have left the young bud stage.
According to Lu Changan's speculation on the growth law of gourd spirits, there are four stages, namely:
germination period, seedling period, initial flowering period, and fruiting period.
The germination period is the current form.
When it reaches the seedling stage, it can grow multiple true leaves and be stronger.
In the initial flowering stage, buds will form, and the flowers will grow and produce fruits.
In the fruiting stage, the gourd fruit will eventually grow to maturity.
"If there is no large amount of lifespan to promote birth, even after another thousand years, it may be difficult to wait until the fruiting period."
Lu Changan thought.
Although he has plenty of lifespan now, he dare not easily invest a lot of lifespan.
Mainly because of the uncertainty of returns and risks, it is not suitable for betting.
If Xiao Xuantian is born and there are some strange phenomena in the world, it will not be a disaster.
Moreover, his loss of lifespan will affect the power of Changqing Gong.
"If I can get an extra free lifespan, I can try to invest in stages."
After experiencing the scene of the heart demon calamity, Lu Changan felt that if he practiced normally in this world, his hope of ascending to the God of Incarnation was relatively small.
It must have a shocking opportunity.
And the breeding of Xuantian's treasure is Lu Changan's greatest opportunity in this world, and perhaps he can use it to change his fate.
His original plan for Qingmu Zhenjun remained unchanged.
Within a sixty-year period, if Qingmu Zhenjun did not come to him, Lu Changan would take the initiative to attack.
If he did not take the initiative to come to him, it would prove that he was guilty and did not have much confidence in his strength.
After all, with Lu Changan's current exposed strength, combined with Di Yanjun, it would not be easy for a general mid-Nascent Soul to kill him.
In a sixty-year period, Lu Changan has a lot of room for improvement.
As for the problem of Changqing Gong sensing, Lu Changan can try to seal the magic power, isolate it with the [Black Wind Cloak], and take a spirit pet or puppet to the Central Region.
...
One month later.
Zhang Tieshan started the transformation plan for Black Sky Wing.
Because it was a tailor-made plan, Lu Changan needed to discuss and connect with Zhang Tieshan throughout the process.
The main materials of Black Sky Wing are not lacking, and there is no need to add much new materials. The main thing is transformation, so it is ahead of the nail-headed arrow.
Lu Changan got the "Bu Tian Yun Ling Jue", fortunately it is not a skill inheritance, but just a secret technique, and it is not difficult to get started.
Lu Changan is more in line with the requirements of this kind of spiritual cultivation method for spiritual consciousness. When he integrates into the fourth life, his spiritual consciousness is comparable to the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, which can speed up his entry.
After entering the "Bu Tian Yun Ling Jue", Lu Changan gradually invested his lifespan to cultivate the spirituality in the Black Sky Wing.
The secret technique of Changqing Gong, combined with the effect of "Bu Tian Yun Ling Jue", made Zhang Tieshan envious.
He practiced this ancient secret technique of refining for many years in advance, but has not yet achieved a small success.
Whether in cultivation talent or actual effect, Zhang Tieshan can't compare with Lu Changan.
The spirit of the spiritual treasure is a little moved, looking forward to Lu Changan's cultivation to a great success, and helping it to nourish and recover in the future.
Zhang Tieshan secretly guarded himself, and couldn't let Lu Changan abduct the spiritual treasure.
Half a year later.
The Black Sky Wing was finally transformed successfully, and encountered some technical problems during the process.
The transformation of this flying magic weapon must be coordinated with Lu Changan's "The Art of Reinforcing the Sky and Containing Spirits". Zhang Tieshan did not have much experience, so he slowly advanced and conquered it under the guidance of the weapon spirit.
Lu Changan got the transformed black sky wing, and its size was reduced by several percent under normal circumstances.
There were some new magic weapon refining restrictions on the surface of the black wing.
The key point of the transformation was located at the connection between the black wing and the back.
The connection point that was originally connected through flesh and blood, and the black wing's spirituality was amplified by blood and beast control secrets, was not completely cut off.
Now the influence of mana output has been strengthened, and the communication between the master's consciousness and the black wing's spirituality has been improved, so as to play more flexibly and efficiently.
Zhang Tieshan's transformation alone is far from enough.
Lu Changan invested more than ten years of his life for this, and cultivated the black wing's spirituality through the "Art of Reinforcing the Sky and Containing Spirits" to strengthen the communication with his own consciousness.
In terms of the quality of the magic weapon alone, the black sky wing has improved compared to before.
Lu Changan flew to Jiugangtian to test the effect of [Black Sky Wing].
Huh!
As the magic power poured in, Lu Changan only felt an invisible wind force surge between heaven and earth, which greatly increased his speed. The feeling of being pushed back by the force was so pleasant.
The black wings attached to the back, in addition to the light of the magic weapon, its natural wing texture flows with the Dao rhyme of heaven and earth.
"The escape speed has indeed reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!"
Lu Changan was overjoyed.
The black sky wings can not only be used for flying, but also can fan the black wind in the battle, which has a certain repulsion or binding effect on the cultivators of the same level.
Of course, the effect is much worse for the stronger demon king.
Today's black sky wings are more inclined to be a general-purpose flying magic weapon, and it is not necessary to stick them on the back.
Lu Changan tried it, and even if he stepped on the black sky wings with both feet, his escape speed was not affected much.
Consuming more mana, the black sky wings become larger and can carry others.
Of course, there are also places that are not as good as the original black sky wings.
The beast control secret technique inspired by the blood of the Black Feather True Lord makes the black sky wings like his own flesh and blood wings. Lu Changan really can't match the high flexibility of air combat ability and body movement.
Lu Changan was content, and he didn't want to really become a birdman.
He could use the "Phantom Wood Clone" to make up for this deficiency.
As he used the Changqing Gong to nurture it all year round, and was willing to invest his lifespan in the future, the Black Sky Wing still had the potential to be improved, and could be used at least until the late Nascent Soul stage.
...
Two months later.
Lu Changan was 413 years old, and spent his first year back in Daqing.
On this day, he came to the Heroes Mountain in Jinyun Valley.
Monks who have contributed to the sect or died in battle will be buried here.
In the days when Lu Changan just returned to Jinyun Valley, he came to the Heroes Mountain to pay tribute to Zhao Siyao's tombstone.
He came here again today because Zhao Tan'er was back.
After Zhao Tan'er returned to the sect, the first thing she did was not to visit Lu Changan, but to go to her master's tomb.
In front of Zhao Siyao's tombstone, stood a graceful figure in a green skirt, about twenty years old, with eyebrows like green feathers and skin like white snow.
"Uncle Lu, you're here!"
Zhao Tan'er's black hair was like a waterfall. She turned around and looked at Lu Chang'an. Her eyes were clear and bright, but the corners of her eyes were slightly red.
After nearly a hundred years, the man in white in her memory was still young and youthful, but there were a few strands of silver and white in his black hair, which showed the vicissitudes of time.
It has been nearly two hundred years since the death of the master. Zhao Tan'er's emotions have faded a long time ago.
Except for the first few decades, she often went to visit him, and she cried her tears dry at the beginning.
Time can wash away and dilute many things.
However, when the close elders returned after nearly a hundred years, Zhao Tan'er's deep emotions, the grief and guilt in the past, were aroused.
For the death of the master, Zhao Tan'er never blamed Uncle Lu, but more of self-blame.
But she always had doubts in her heart.
Did Uncle Lu really love the master? In the last days in Jinyun Valley in the early years, the three of them often gathered together and had a lot of fun. In addition to leaving, is there no other choice?
I heard that Uncle Lu had mentioned to Master that he wanted to take the latter with him to run away, but was rejected.
Today, Uncle Lu achieved the status of Yuanying Zhenjun and returned home in glory. Zhao Tan'er could not bring herself to say this.
Because time has proved that Uncle Lu made the right choice.
Master's spirit in heaven would also be pleased to see this result.
It was not wrong for Master not to leave at that time.
Zhao Siyao could not run away with Lu Chang'an without any name or status, and abandon the sect where she had cultivated and grown for two hundred years.
…
Lu Chang'an and Zhao Tan'er sat in front of the mausoleum, without any restrictions on their cultivation and seniority, like an ordinary uncle and nephew, reminiscing about the past for a long time.
Zhao Tan'er has cultivated to the late stage of Jindan, which is rare for her qualifications.
Before Lu Chang'an left, he left her a late stage of Jindan breakthrough pill and asked Zhang Tieshan to take care of it.
The late stage of Jindan breakthrough pill came from the spoils of the True Lord Shahai, and was originally intended to be rewarded to his subordinates.
At first, Zhao Tan'er didn't want to use the rank-breaking pill, but failed to break through once.
Later, when the situation of the Demonic Dao war was critical, Zhao Tan'er finally used the rank-breaking pill, and with the help and guidance of Zhang Tianfeng, she finally broke through this level.
In the reminiscence, Zhao Tan'er mentioned Lin Lu, who had a good relationship with him when he was young, and once joined the Demonic Dao camp to advance to the fake pill, and later died on the battlefield, leaving his descendants there.
"Your master died at the hands of 'Black Crow True Man', this direct enemy, Uncle Lu killed that guy when he was in Fengyuan Kingdom."
"However, your master's revenge has not been completely settled."
Lu Changan stated calmly.
Black Crow True Man targeted Zhao Siyao in the Demonic Dao battlefield in order to please Peacock Saint, or there may be a hint of the latter.
Later, Lu Changan designed to let Peacock Saint be captured and become a prisoner, and her foundation was damaged, and she had no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage for life.
This revenge was actually pretty much the same.
However, Lu Changan's personal revenge was far from settled!
The revenge of the Peacock Saint, who was high and mighty at that time, wanted Lu Changan to surrender and become a slave.
Later, the Wanhe Zhenjun designed an ambush, but it was discovered by Lu Changan and failed.
If there is a chance in the future, or the war of magic is restarted, Lu Changan will get back at it.
"Uncle Lu, your sacrifice and revenge for your master are enough. Don't take risks and affect the peaceful relationship between the two camps." Zhao Tan'er persuaded. Lu Chang'an nodded, indicating that he would not force it. "Uncle Lu, you said that cultivators have reincarnation in the afterlife, and you said you saw it with your own eyes. Later, Tan'er checked the classics and found that this situation often occurs in powerful people." Zhao Tan'er pursed her lips, as if she was angry, thinking that Lu Chang'an was coaxing her at that time. Zhao Tan'er naturally didn't know that Lu Chang'an didn't coax her. The [Nine Seals] involved the law of reincarnation, allowing her to witness the reincarnation of an old friend and even awakened one. "Yuanying cultivators can barely be called powerful in today's world of immortal cultivation. Perhaps when Uncle Lu's cultivation and magical powers are more advanced, he will be able to find your master's afterlife." Lu Chang'an said half-truthfully. He once used the Nine Seals to open the ability of the fourth life, and left reincarnation marks for Li Erqing and Zhao Siyao. It has been confirmed that the [Nine Seals] can make it easier for the past life cultivators who have causal ties with him to meet in the next life.
Zhao Siyao has not met in her next life, nor has she sensed the reincarnation mark, perhaps because she has been to too few areas.
...
Half a month later.
Lu Changan instructed Zhao Tan'er on her practice and magical powers, including actual combat. Among the descendants of old friends, only Zhao Tan'er can enjoy such treatment.
Lu Changan has stabilized in Jinyun Valley and is preparing to go to the headquarters of Fengguo Weidao League in the near future.
There is still a lack of materials for the upgrade of the grade of the nail head arrow, mainly the materials of the nail head.
The nail head part needs to add high-quality materials that amplify the attack to carry a stronger magic weapon refining ban.
Fortunately, the growth of the main material is high enough. As long as Lu Changan is willing to consume his life span, he can continuously improve the grade and spirituality of the soul-nourishing wood.
The soul-nourishing wood is not simply a literal nurturing, which is the basic function of ordinary soul-nourishing wood below the third level. As a precious spiritual wood of the soul path in the world of immortal cultivation, it has excellent condensation, amplification and conductivity of the power of the soul. Soul-nourishing wood above the fourth level can withstand stronger soul-nourishing magic weapon refining restrictions.
Lu Changan received a military award from the Weidao League last time, and this time he is going to try his luck to see if he can get the required refining equipment and puppet refining treasures.
When Lu Changan goes out, he will naturally not reveal his whereabouts.
The fourth-level divination technique can even predict the schedule in advance and choose a suitable day for travel.
Ten days later.
When the outside forces learned about the recent news of "Changqing Zhenjun", he had already arrived in Fengguo's immortal cultivation world.
…
Fengguo is located in the southern part of Liangguo. Its land plate has a very large vertical and horizontal range. In its heyday, it bordered the surrounding immortal cultivation countries such as Chenguo, Yanguo, and Hengguo.
When crossing the border, Lu Changan drove the Yuanying escape light and revealed his identity. The patrolling monks simply confirmed it, and did not dare to check it personally, but just reported it quickly.
Fengguo's sensing array captured Lu Changan's Nascent Soul magic light and locked its approximate position.
Not long after.
A Nascent Soul-level magic breath came over.
"The one coming is Changqing Zhenjun."
A red-faced man in a python robe appeared in the distance, standing on the top of a windmill vehicle about ten feet long.
The windmill vehicle has a simple shape, with a wind wheel cabin on the head, the interior space can carry people and goods, and the top is a deck.
"It is Lu, you are..."
Lu Changan responded.
"The master of Yin Yuanhai Wuya Hall, on the order of my master Chu Tianfeng, came to meet Lu Zhenjun."
The red-faced man smiled brightly, bowed, and opened the suspended door of the windmill vehicle.
"It turned out to be Yin Zhenjun."
Lu Changan sensed the man's magic power and thought that he should be promoted to the Nascent Soul stage within a decade, which is not much different from himself.
Wuya Hall has a mid-stage Nascent Soul giant in charge, and it is not difficult to reach three Nascent Soul True Lords in peacetime.
But in the past magic war, unfortunately, a Nascent Soul early stage fell.
Facing the top magic sects in Daqing, the Nascent Soul out of the body can not always save life.
Yin Yuanhai, after being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, is responsible for the management of Wuya Hall; Chu Tianfeng serves as the leader of the Wei Dao Alliance and takes charge of the overall situation.
After a few pleasantries, Lu Changan entered the interior of the ancient windmill vehicle under the hospitality of Yin Yuanhai.
In the windmill vehicle, a True Dan cultivator and several Fake Dan True Lords activated the formation, and the speed of shuttling in the wind was not inferior to that of the late stage of the Jindan.
"By the way, I heard that Alliance Leader Chu has a genius disciple named Situ Lan. Why haven't I heard about his impact on the Nascent Soul stage?"
After chatting for a while, Lu Changan asked tentatively.
In his impression, Situ Lan is the disciple with the best qualifications of Chu Tianfeng.
"Yin and Junior Brother Situ are like brothers, and they have a very good relationship. Back then, Situ was the first person in the sect to form a baby seed, but unfortunately he had a heart knot and did not dare to form a baby easily. That's why the opportunity to form a baby fell on Yin."
Yin Yuanhai mentioned the past, feeling a lot of emotion.
He is older than Situ Lan, and the quality of the pills he made is slightly inferior to the other.
If he missed that opportunity, he might not be able to form a baby in this life.
Lu Changan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that this gentleman received him warmly, like an old friend.
But as a result of a strange combination of circumstances, Yin Yuanhai will not accept this "favor", at most he will have a better impression of Lu Changan.
Skip this topic.
Yin Yuanhai changed the subject and said with interest:
"I heard that Master Lu and the fourth-level spirit pet teamed up to defeat Master Black Feather. This news is exciting. The time when Fellow Daoist Lu formed his infant should be not far from that of Yin. Can you have a one-on-one discussion with Master Lu when you have time?"
