There are two things in the gift box.

A jade tube.

A simple blue-gray talisman pen.

Lu Changan picked up the ancient talisman pen, and the mana flowed smoothly in it, and nodded secretly.

This is a quasi-third-order talisman pen.

Compared with Lu Chang'an's cultivation in the middle of foundation building, he has only become a second-order high-grade talisman master in recent years, and this gift is quite sincere.

In the jade cylinder, a complete set of talisman inheritances is recorded, some of which involve third-order talisman masters.

Quite a fragmented set of third-order talisman inheritance.

The two gifts, both of which are related to the talisman master, can be regarded as a matter of their liking.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Lu Chang'an has good talent in Fu Yi, but his talent potential is limited.

It is not easy to be promoted to the later stage of foundation building, and it is almost impossible to get married.

It is impossible to expect him to give away the gift of the Dan.

That is a scarce strategic resource for the major forces of the Liang State, including Huanglongshan.

……

Compared with the gift itself, Lu Changan cares more about the meaning of this meeting.

"That fake Dan real person, in addition to protecting Fu Dong, or on behalf of the high-level of Huanglong Mountain, took me by the way to conduct the most secret investigation."

Lu Changan pondered.

After this, Huanglongshan really put his mind at ease to Lu Chang'an and would not regard it as a potential hidden danger.

Even, in the future, there is a chance to turn into an ally.

At the same time, the secret investigation of the fake Dan real person also ruled out the relationship between Lu Changan and Senior Brother Cheng.

Lu Chang'an is indeed in the middle stage of foundation building.

At such an age, it can only be regarded as mediocre in the foundation building period.

As far as Lu Chang'an is concerned, if there is one less potential enemy and force, he can continue to practice in Wuqi Mountain safely in the future without worrying about the incident.

In the next few decades, he was in need of a stable cultivation environment.

"With my talent and age, in the late stage of building the foundation in Wuqi Mountain, it may exceed some people's expectations, but it is not a big problem. Compared with Fu Dong's inferior spirit root foundation, it is not worth mentioning. ”

Lu Changan looks forward to the future.

Whether in the mortal world, or in the vast immortal realm.

There are always a handful of monks who have accumulated a lot of money and become late bloomers.

For example, Lu Chang'an built a foundation in his seventies, but he only broke the thousand-year record of the Liang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world.

In other words, a thousand years ago in the Liang Kingdom, as well as in the surrounding Immortal Cultivation Kingdom, there were similar or even more powerful characters.

Lu Chang'an's cultivation speed has been steady, step by step, and there is no abnormal progress at each stage.

Even if in a certain period of time, cultivation is abnormally flying in, and it is a normal small chance in the world of cultivating immortals.

Secrets and risks are always relative, related to strength, level, and background.

If one day, Lu Chang'an marries Dan, for ordinary monks, it can be regarded as a secret and a great opportunity.

But after the Dan, looking at the surrounding immortal cultivation country, it can already be called a high-end combat power, and ordinary monks can only look up and be in awe.

Compared to the overhaul of the Jiedan, or the vision of the Yuanying True Monarch, this can only be regarded as a normal opportunity.

At their level, almost every one of them has a fate far beyond ordinary people.

……

In a blink of an eye, Lu Changan practiced peacefully in Xiaoguifeng for three years.

It was one hundred and twenty-three years old, and its cultivation was gentle and approaching the sixth floor of the foundation.

In the past three years, the surrounding situation has been stable, and nothing major has happened in the territory of Liang.

Around Huanglong Immortal City, the public security environment has been significantly improved, and most of the prosperity and popularity of the past have been restored.

The difference is that today's Huanglongshan is far less powerful than in its heyday, and is constrained by major forces and chambers of commerce.

Feiyue Lake Mujia has reduced internal friction and developed vigorously.

Li Erqing's grandson, Mu Congren, has successfully taken root in the local area and is on the right track.

The entire Liang country seems to be a stable atmosphere.

But recently, Lu Changan smelled bad signs.

Especially on this day, send away the monks who came to purchase resources from the "Tengxing Chamber of Commerce".

……

"The price of strategic materials is rising again, and the magnitude is beyond the usual, even higher than when Huanglong Immortal City was in chaos."

Lu Changan pondered.

According to common sense, the turmoil in Huanglong Xiancheng is over, the regional situation is stable, and the price of strategic materials should be reduced.

"Could it be that it has something to do with the Immortal Cultivation War in a neighboring country?"

The Liang State Immortal Realm was generally stable, and Lu Changan could only contact the situation in neighboring countries.

In the past two years, there has been no major conquest in the neighboring immortal cultivation world, and Yuanying Zhenjun has never faced each other directly.

The battlefield of Fengguo is in a relatively stalemate.

The two Yuanying True Monarchs of the Jinyang Sect, who once fought against Chu Tianfeng in the middle of the Yuanying period of the Yan Kingdom, although they were inferior in chess, they fought on the mainland, focusing on defense, and they would not necessarily fall into disadvantage.

In the short term, the war of the neighboring Feng Kingdom in the south will not implicate the Liang State.

Unless.

Lu Changan missed the key information that only the upper echelons knew.

"Seeing the subtleties, the price of war readiness materials continues to rise, and there must be demons when things go wrong!"

Lu Changan trusts his instincts and judgment.

After thinking about it, he wrote another letter to Zhang Tieshan.

Two months ago, Zhao Siyao replied to him, but there was no definite news and conclusion.

The Chamber of Commerce is also well-informed.

Lu Changan originally wanted to ask Shen Bixin about it.

However, in the past two years, due to the small number of shipments, the eldest lady was busy and did not come to Wuqishan in person.

Shen Bixin began to purchase materials at a high price as early as during the turmoil in Huanglong Immortal City.

Lu Changan speculated that the top management of the chamber of commerce may have learned the news from the upper channels and judged that Liang Guo would also be caught in the flames of war.

Otherwise, there is no obvious profit margin for acquisition at the high price at that time.

It's a risky game.

Once you lose the bet, you will lose all your money.

Facts have proved that the Tengxing Chamber of Commerce, where Shen Bixin is located, has the right pressure.

……

Two months later, Lu Changan received a letter from Zhang Tieshan.

Zhang Tieshan seems to know something, but his expression in the letter is rather vague and bluntly difficult to say.

He personally speculated: Within more than ten years, the war should not affect Liang Guo, so that Lu Changan does not have to worry too much.

Lu Changan heard the meaning of the words.

Zhang Tieshan did not deny the possibility of a war of cultivating immortals in the Liang Kingdom.

In the letter he is not easy to say.

For more precise information, it is best to interview in person.

After two lifetimes, Lu Changan attached great importance to the information of the upper echelons of the immortal cultivation world.

In this way, he who cultivates steadily can at least be prepared and plan in advance.

As a last resort, Lu Changan didn't want to run away.

A stable spiritual vein dojo that can create income is not easy to come by.

Even if you run away.

Daily cultivation and advancement are always indispensable to the spiritual vein dojo.

If the entire Liang Kingdom, and even the surrounding areas, are caught in the flames of war, where can I find a spiritual vein dojo to practice?

Spirit stones and pills can only be used for short-term outings and cultivation, and cannot be relied on for a long time.

Needless to say, the resistance and side effects of the pill pill are not to mention.

If you rely on spirit stones to practice every day, it will reduce the monk's sensitivity to the aura of heaven and earth.

This is because the essence of cultivation is the process of attaining the path of enlightenment, improving the essence of one's life, and being in harmony with heaven and earth.

Relying on financial resources and medicine alone, it is indeed possible to quickly improve cultivation at a certain stage, but it is difficult to reach a high level in the immortal cultivation world.

……

A few days later.

Lu Changan left Wuqi Mountain and flew to Jinyun Valley.

In the past few decades, he has gone to Jinyun Valley for an average of two or three years.

Zhao Siyao's apprentices, Zhang Tieshan, and Lin Lu, sometimes go out on missions, or go to Huanglong Immortal City, they may come to Wuqi Mountain to sit down and purchase some high-quality talismans.

When Lu Changan arrived in Jinyun Valley, Zhang Tieshan happened to be out of business and was not at the mountain gate.

Zhao Siyao has also been in retreat recently.

Lin Lu happened to be idle, and in the cave mansion of the outer peak, he personally received Lu Chang'an.

Lin Lu was dressed in a deacon robe, middle-aged in his forties and fifties, handsome, slightly thin, and with a short beard under his chin.

Lin Lu is a generation younger than Lu Changan, and the age difference is only in his twenties.

His actual age is about 100 years old, and his descendants have been passed down for three or four generations.

Cultivation has been stagnant on the third floor of the foundation for many years and has not yet advanced.

After Lin Lu consumed his father's legacy and was promoted to the foundation building period, his fortune seemed to have come to an end.

Lu Changan chatted with this nephew for a long time and had an understanding of his situation.

Lin Lu's qualifications are much worse than Zhao Siyao's, close to the middle-grade spiritual root.

As a deacon of the sect, he has to take care of a lot of mundane things, which also has a certain impact on his cultivation.

In addition, the qualifications are not outstanding, which leads to the unsmooth advancement.

In contrast, Zhao Siyao's female apprentice, Zhao Tan'er, advanced much more smoothly than Lin Lu.

Zhao Tan'er built the foundation several years later, and was promoted to the middle stage of foundation building two years ago.

It took only about 20 years from the early to the middle stage of foundation building.

Lu Changan, as a person who came over, casually mentioned a few words to Lin Lu in terms of practice.

At the beginning of killing Hua Dan Division, Lu Changan obtained two "Jade Qing Pills", which helped break through the bottleneck and be promoted to the middle stage of foundation building.

This kind of rank-breaking elixir also needs to be contributed to queue up to redeem in the sect.

He sold Lin Lu at the market price.

Lin Lu has a family, heirs, and disciples, and he doesn't have much money.

More than ten years ago, he had exchanged a "Yuqing Dan", but he almost broke through the bottleneck, and he was not eligible to continue to exchange it in the future. And the contribution of the sect is scarce, and it is impossible to take care of the descendants of the children.

Lin Lu bought it with spirit stones, plus two flavors of second-order materials as a deduction, and bought a "Yuqing Dan".

One of the ingredients happened to be the auxiliary medicine of Zhuyan Dan, which was originally going to be handed over to the sect and exchanged for contributions.

That flavor material is not limited to being used as a rejuvenating pill, Lu Changan does not have to worry about exposure.

So many years have passed.

Lu Chang'an's materials for Yan Dan have almost been gathered, and only the last adjuvant remains.

……

The principle of the sect is not to leave people overnight.

Through the authority of the deacon, Lin Lu arranged Lu Chang'an in the guest room at the foot of Jinyun Valley.

A few days later.

Zhang Tieshan returned to Jinyun Valley, and Lin Lu reported it in time and met Lu Changan as soon as possible.

Zhang Tieshan's cave is in the inner peak.

His position is the archdeacon of the Law Enforcement Hall, and his status in the Law Enforcement Hall is second only to the Law Enforcement Elder and several fake Dan Zhenren.

"Lu Daoyou, I've kept you waiting."

Since Zhang Tieshan built the foundation, he described his old-fashioned and slightly dark face as he hadn't seen him for many years, showing a kind expression.

"It's serious, but it's only a few days."

Lu Changan sat down accompanied by Lin Lu.

After greeting for a while, Lu Changan and Zhang Tieshan chatted about some past events and interesting anecdotes.

Lin Lu regarded himself as a junior, and occasionally talked to him and added one or two.

"Last time, I saw the doubts in Brother Lu's letter, and Zhang Mou also talked with Elder Neifeng in recent months, and only then did he come up with a positive answer."

Zhang Tieshan got to the point, but he didn't shy away from Lin Lu.

"Oh, dare to ask what the truth is?"

Lu Changan showed interest at the right time.

"The truth may not have much to do with Lu Daoyou."

Zhang Tieshan stroked his beard and smiled, and his gaze turned to Lin Lu again.

"But for Lin Xian's nephew, it may be a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions."

Lin Lu was stunned and couldn't help but think deeply.

Lu Changan had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized.

"Zhang Daoyou means that in the south of the Liang State......"

"That's right." Zhang Tieshan bowed.

Lu Changan's eyes flashed slightly, and the doubts in his heart disappeared.

The development of the situation was slightly unexpected by him.

He originally thought that Liang might be passively involved in the immortal cultivation war of the neighboring country.

The truth is.

The upper echelons of the sect of the Liang State decided to take the initiative to intervene in the war, attack the Feng Kingdom from the north side, and take advantage of the chaos to make profits!

I fell asleep very late yesterday.,There may only be one shift tonight.。。 After the beginning of the year, there is finally no entertainment, and as a result, the new house has to be renovated, the old house has to be sold, and the transfer may have to be made tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, which is a more worrying thing.
