Half a year later.

Little Turtle Peak Secret Room.

Lu Changan pinched the trick in his hand and used the puppet control trick, and a humanoid leather armor puppet lying on the ground got up with a vigorous somersault.

The leather-armored golem has sharp eyes, carries a longbow and quiver, and has a short sword pinned to its waist.

Pulling out the longbow, a silver-gray arrow lingered in a cyan wheal; The arc flickered on the bowstring, and the spiritual power fluctuations emitted were enough to make the late foundation building stage frightened.

Whew!

The arrow sped away, piercing through the foot-thick second-order raw ore, and the remaining power was absorbed by the prohibition of the secret room.

"It's worthy of being a second-order top-level puppet who is good at attacking."

Lu Chang'an's face was full of joy, and he checked the condition of the bow and arrow puppet and confirmed that the refining was successful.

After completing the procurement of materials, after half a year, Lu Chang'an took the lead in making a breakthrough in puppet skills.

Today, it is refined into a second-order top-level puppet.

Of course, the second-order top is still in the second-order upper grade category, and the difference is that the quality has reached the peak of the second order.

Theoretically speaking, the level of this puppet is equivalent to the peak of the late stage of foundation building.

But normally, the puppet's combat power is inferior to that of the monk. Puppets are dead creatures after all, while human monks have an advantage in terms of spiritual intelligence, the use of magic spells, talismans and other foreign objects.

However, Lu Chang'an's divine sense is strong, and his mastery of controlling puppets is profound, so he is confident that this puppet can match a senior foundation building stage.

Moreover, this archer puppet, abandoning defense and pulling the attack full, is very lethal to ordinary foundations.

Especially in the case of ambushes, secret attacks.

"Such a bow and arrow puppet, if there are seven or eight of them, under the salvo, it is a fake Dan real person, and it will not be able to withstand the damage."

Lu Changan put away the puppet and thought.

However, he didn't have that much material on hand. Refining puppets takes a long time, and the higher the grade, the longer it takes.

……

"One hundred and thirty-five years old."

A few days later, Lu Changan went out of the customs and realized that his longevity had taken another year.

Unknowingly, he practiced in Wuqi Mountain for sixty or seventy years.

The maid Lan Rou has changed from a pavilion girl to a mature beauty in her thirties.

This is still a case of focusing on beauty.

"Calculating the time, Zhao Daoyou and Zhang Daoyou's injuries should have healed."

Lu Chang'an pondered.

About three months ago, Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan returned to Jinyun Valley, but their injuries have not healed and they need to recuperate and deal with the aftermath.

Lu Changan and Zhao Siyao agreed in the letter that they would get together after they returned.

He plans to visit two friends who have survived the catastrophe in the near future.

Zhao Siyao wanted to come to Wuqi Mountain in person, but was politely rejected by Lu Changan in a letter.

With Zhao Siyao's cultivation status, before the injury healed, he went to visit a casual cultivator, which was somewhat abnormal.

Lu Changan didn't want the outside world to associate the "third-order talisman" used by Zhao Siyao with himself.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to refine a third-order talisman in the middle stage of foundation building.

Even if Lu Chang'an had a strong divine sense and had the skills of a third-order talisman master in his previous life, he would not be able to do this.

Because, drawing talismans requires corresponding mana support.

And the difference in mana between the foundation building period and the knot period is too large.

For a rune master who is a fake Dan cultivator, refining a third-order rune is not unusual.

In the later stage of foundation building, it can be regarded as a supreme talent, and the cost is extremely high, and there is no cost performance at all.

……

Ten days later.

Jinyun Valley, a waterscape cave with a quiet environment.

Four foundation-building monks, two men and two women, sat opposite each other.

The first two in the later stage of foundation building were Zhang Tieshan and Zhao Siyao, who faintly exuded evil energy.

Especially Zhang Tieshan, who has a more evil spirit on his body, obviously on the front-line battlefield, has harvested the lives of many enemy monks.

The evil aura on Zhao Siyao's body is much lighter.

Compared with the elegance and refinement of the past, the fairy spirit is fluttering, and the divine light between the eyebrows is more powerful.

Lu Changan had to admit that the Immortal Cultivation War had a very good sharpening effect on the monks.

Experiencing the line of life and death can help squeeze the monk's potential and even break the shackles of his own limits.

The premise is that they can come back alive.

"If you don't die in a great disaster, you will be blessed. After this battle, the future path of the two Daoists may be smoother. ”

Lu Changan said auspicious words.

"To borrow Lu Daoyou's auspicious words. I hope that Zhao Daoyou and I can enjoy future happiness in the future. ”

Zhang Tieshan's voice was hearty, and scars were vaguely visible on his slightly dark skin.

Zhao Siyao's eyes were smiling, her eyebrows were lightly raised, and she sometimes looked at the old man in white who had not changed her face for a hundred years.

Obviously a figure that can no longer be familiar, her clear and soft gaze seems to have a kind of bright movement when she first met.

"Uncle Lu, if the battlefield has such an effect, why didn't you listen to Tan'er's advice back then and follow ............?"

Zhao Tan'er smirked, revealing her braided teeth.

"Tan'er, don't be rude! At such an age, I don't know how to be stable.

Zhao Siyao's expression changed slightly, and she coldly interrupted the female disciple's words.

Zhao Tan'er stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to say more.

She is lively and bold on weekdays, and occasionally has no words, but she is still afraid of Shizun.

"It's okay, Tan'er has a frank temperament and no malice."

Lu Changan waved his hand.

In the world of cultivating immortals, there are a small number of monks who are simple and sincere in nature, unchanged for hundreds of years and thousands of years, as if they will never "mature".

It's not that they're really simple, they've always been the same, it's a state of practice that fits the self.

Such a monk has no spiritual internal friction, and it is difficult for external demons to invade, and he often has more advantages in his state of mind, which is called "pure heart"

Zhao Tan'er may not be truly innocent, but she has similar qualities.

Lu Changan remembered that when this woman was promoted to the middle stage of foundation building, she was smoother than the same high-grade spiritual root.

"Lu Daoyou's mana doesn't seem to be far from the late stage of foundation building. was a late bloomer back then, and now it is still full of stamina, catching up with many Taoist friends of the same generation. ”

Zhang Tieshan observed Lu Chang'an and was slightly surprised.

"Lu just has a good mentality, a solid foundation, and doesn't lack spirit stone resources."

Lu Changan said modestly.

"Can Lu Daoyou be sure to be promoted to the late stage of foundation building?"

Zhao Siyao said.

"I have already entrusted someone to refine the rank-breaking elixir, and in the later stage of foundation building, I should be three or four percent sure."

Lu Changan groaned.

"Three or four percent sure?" Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan looked at each other, smiling but not speaking.

have known each other for more than a hundred years, and the two have a better understanding of Lu Changan's character.

It is said that it is three or four percent, but in fact, I am afraid that it is seven or eight percent certain.

"Although Lu Daoyou's cultivation is slow, if he can always improve steadily and steadily, with such a character, it is very similar to a rare evergreen ancient tree in the immortal cultivation world."

Zhang Tieshan praised.

"Evergreen Ancient Tree? Is it the kind of ancient spirit wood that can grow evergreen all the time as long as there are enough annual rings? ”

Zhao Tan'er's voice was crisp and blurted out.

"Lu Mou's scattered cultivation, how can it be compared with evergreen ancient trees."

Lu Changan's heart jumped.

When he mentions the evergreen ancient tree, his heart has a mysterious calling.

"However, Lu wishes that all of you here can be like evergreens, and the fairy road will be evergreen."

Lu Changan's words made the three of them reconcile, and the atmosphere became more and more relaxed.

……

At sunset, Lu Changan offered his farewell.

The three sects built the foundation and sent Lu Changan to the gate of the cave.

"Lu Daoyou, I'll give you a ride."

Zhao Siyao proposed.

"Okay." Lu Changan glanced at her and agreed.

Zhao Siyao's temperament will not deliberately greet and be polite, there should be something to talk to him about alone.

Zhao Tan'er gave Zhang Tieshan a look, and the two of them did not follow.

Lu Changan and Zhao Siyao, dressed in white and dressed in white, were like a couple, flying out of Jinyun Valley side by side.

"Great!"

Zhao Tan'er was overjoyed, watching the two elders leave, with a sense of relief on her face.

Outside the Golden Cloud Valley.

The mountain breeze blows, slightly cool.

Zhao Siyao wears a phoenix hairpin, a fluttering fairy skirt, a tall and slender body, a picturesque side face, and a glamorous and refined appearance.

Along the way, the two met occasionally, smiled slightly, and were speechless in tacit understanding.

until it flew out of the Golden Cloud Valley for hundreds of miles.

Zhao Siyao's light slowed down, and her clear and beautiful eyes settled on Lu Changan's face, and then she spoke:

"Thank you, if it weren't for that talisman, Si Yao would never have seen Lu Daoyou again......"

"Zhao Daoyou, what talisman? Why can't I understand? ”

Lu Changan said suspiciously.

Zhao Siyao was stunned for a moment, staring at this familiar face for a few breaths.

She didn't expose it, she suddenly smiled, her face was bright, and she sighed lightly:

"Lu Changan, how do you want me to repay such a great kindness?"

After knowing each other for more than 100 years, Zhao Siyao called him by his name for the first time.

"If you want to say kindness. Without the help of Zhao Daoyou, Lu could not build a foundation smoothly. When Huanglong Immortal City was alchemizing, in the face of Fu Xuemei, Zhao Daoyou helped to defend it. When Lu built the foundation, he was also Zhao Daoyou's inseparable protector. ”

Lu Changan said sincerely.

From the Qi refining period to the foundation building period for hundreds of years, he was able to practice relatively steadily, and he also had the care of his friends in the sect.

The Black Mist Mountains fought side by side, experienced life and death, and refined Tsukidan twice...... All kinds of past made him and Zhao Siyao have enough tacit understanding and trust.

It was precisely for this reason that he secretly gave a treasure talisman to Zhao Siyao a few years ago.

"Zhao Daoyou doesn't have to mind. If you insist on repaying it, I wish Zhao Daoyou a successful marriage as soon as possible, so that Lu can hug his thighs. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Siyao snorted, and her clear eyes seemed to melt in winter.

Afterwards, the two chatted about some light topics and past events.

When night fell, the moonlight was like water, making the figures of the two in white clothes and white dresses even colder.

"I heard that Lu Daoyou has a good relationship with Shi Fairy?"

Zhao Siyao said quietly.

"It's okay, we have been adjacent for many years, and we are more compatible."

Lu Changan said calmly.

The relationship between him and Shi Xianzi cannot escape the observation of those who have a heart.

Zhao Siyao's lips pursed slightly, she was silent for a few breaths, and said, "When does Lu Daoyou plan to marry a Taoist couple and marry Shi Fairy?" ”

Lu Changan shook his head and said: "The world of cultivating immortals is changing, and the foundation building period can be able to gain a firm foothold and have a foothold. But it's not like a real person with magic powers, and he can't withstand the wind and waves, how dare he marry a wife and have children? ”

"Lu Daoyou is prepared for danger in times of peace, and this is not bad."

Zhao Siyao smiled slightly.

She asked again: "What if Lu Daoyou becomes a fake pill one day?" ”

In fact, with Lu Chang'an's age and qualifications, he can achieve a fake Dan real person, which can be regarded as a blessing from the tenth generation.

Such an assumption can be regarded as lifting Lu Changan.

"If you achieve a fake pill, Lu will find a female cultivator who has a good impression of each other, marry and have children, establish a family of cultivating immortals, and cultivate future generations."

Lu Changan told the truth.

"Hmm." Zhao Siyao glanced at him and did not comment.

"Zhao Daoyou, you don't have to send it again, I hope to get married as soon as possible."

"Lu Daoyou, the road is long and resistant, may the fairy road be evergreen."

The two looked at each other for the last time, froze and counted, not hiding the appreciation in each other's eyes.

The figures in white clothes and white skirts staggered by, flying in different directions.

……

Two months later.

Wuqi Mountain, Little Turtle Peak.

"This is the first time in Lu's life that he has been invited to participate in the grand event of Yudan Zhenren - although it is a funeral."

Lu Changan held the black and white invitation in his hand and looked at the elegant and dignified Shi Fairy beside him.

"Huanglong Zhenren is sure to pass away?"

"Invitations to funerals are sent to various places, and they should not be faked."

Shi Manrong's voice was warm.

"Man Rong, Huanglong Zhenren's funeral, do you say I will go, or will I not go?"

Lu Changan groaned, as if he couldn't make up his mind.

The update time is indeed underworld, but the current biological clock is groggy during the day and mental at night.

(There was no update on the night of the 11th.) I came home late, so I drank a glass of wine and was dizzy. ）
