Chapter 202: Late Bloomer
What happened to Chi Feng, Lu Changan knew it in his heart, and the conversation changed:
"How is your Aunt Guan doing?"
Guan Qiaozhi left Xiaoguifeng 33 years ago, when he was 75 years old, his cultivation was hopeless, and he gradually grew old and decrepit.
Lu Changan once judged that Guan Qiaozhi was well maintained, there was no fighting, and if there were no accidents, the lifespan could be close to the upper limit of the qi refining period.
"Over the years, Aunt Guan has settled in a secular mountain villa and adopted some orphans. It's beautiful, self-sufficient, and has no quarrel with the world......"
Telling about Guan Qiaozhi's situation, Chi Feng, a young man, showed a trace of warmth in his eyes.
Guan Qiaozhi originally appeared as his immortal leader, and the subsequent care and guidance he gave was equivalent to half a teacher.
He also treats Aunt Guan as a stepmother.
"It's not bad to live in the world."
Lu Changan muttered to himself.
Immortal cultivators live in the mundane world, as long as they are low-key and do not cause trouble, they can live very comfortably.
During the Immortal War, some monks would choose to hide in the mundane world to avoid being killed.
There are pros and cons to this option.
In the mundane land, there is no spiritual vein to supply cultivation, and the qi of red dust is too heavy.
After staying for a long time, the cultivation of immortal cultivators will stagnate, and there may even be a situation where they are sailing against the current, and if they do not advance, they will retreat.
The higher the realm of the monk, the greater the gap when staying in the mundane.
Therefore, the mundane land was only suitable for low-level Qi refining cultivators to take refuge, and the time could not be too long.
It is normal for the Immortal Cultivation War to be fought for one or two decades.
The lifespan of a Qi refining cultivator is not much, and if he is delayed for ten or eight years in the golden age, he is destined to have no chance of building a foundation in this life.
Besides, hiding in the mundane is not necessarily safe.
The Immortal Cultivation Sect has many means to sense the fluctuations of the monk's mana.
Unless there is a clever method of qi accumulation, it can be circumvented.
Of course, the war in the immortal realm of the Liang State was far from the point where the mountains and rivers were exhausted, so that he went to the mundane to catch the strong men.
The quality of low-level monks hiding in the mundane is worrying.
At present, the Liang State Sect is targeting the spiritual vein dojos in various places.
Large and small immortal cultivation forces, such as families, immortal cities, and chambers of commerce, are indispensable to the Spirit Vein Dojo.
If you run away, the monk can't run to the temple.
Especially the kind of immortal cultivation family that is connected by blood and drags the family, only honest people can contribute.
……
"Chifeng, what's next for you?"
"When the younger generation heals his injury, he will ......"
Chiffon was hesitant, and there was an indescribable sense of confusion.
Little Turtle Peak is just a temporary haven.
Liang Guo was caught in the War of Cultivating Immortals, and as a wanted Qi refining cultivator, he was adrift and had no place to stand.
can only go with the flow, life and death depend on fate.
Lu Chang'an said: "Xiaoguifeng lacks a mountain guard who does errands, are you willing to stay and sell coolies?" ”
"Stay in Little Turtle Peak to do chores?"
Chiffon was stunned for a moment, and knelt down in ecstasy to thank him.
"The younger generation is willing! Grandpa Lu's kindness is cherished by Chifeng! ”
When he first entered the Little Turtle Peak, he seemed to have stepped into a pure land that was indisputable to the world, guarded by spirit animals, and the scenery was picturesque.
Deep in Chifeng's heart, he longed for such a spiritual vein dojo, but he didn't dare to give birth to thoughts of non-division.
Aunt Guan didn't allow him to come to Xiaoguifeng easily, obviously not wanting to bother this ancestor in the foundation building period.
"It is an opportunity to practice the "Open Source Sutra" left by Lu and set foot on the immortal road."
Lu Changan raised his hand and motioned for him to get up.
A hundred years ago, he inherited the kindness of his father-in-law and left the "Open Source Sutra" in the Nujiang Gang, leaving a fairy fate for his descendants.
plus Guan Qiaozhi's relationship.
Thinking of the two old loves, Lu Changan made an exception to take in Chi Feng.
"Chifeng, you have cultivated to the eighth level of Qi refining, have you ever used a rank-breaking elixir?"
Lu Changan asked about his cultivation status.
"Nope." Chiffon replied honestly.
Lu Chang'an saw that his foundation was solid and nodded with satisfaction.
"These bottles of elixir, you take them first. In the future, if there is anything you don't understand in cultivation, you can ask me for advice. ”
"Grandpa Xie Lu's gift."
Chifeng pressed the surprise and excitement in his heart, and bowed down to take the pill.
Being able to practice in the second-order spiritual vein dojo and get the guidance of a master in the later stage of foundation building is a dream opportunity for him who has experienced a difficult life of casual cultivation.
The pill given by Lu Changan came from a part left over from the previous alchemy practice, and the quality was acceptable.
Now, Liang Guo's immortal cultivation realm is at war, and he has a plan to escape to a foreign country.
During the preparation for the transition, Lu Changan didn't mind mentioning his father-in-law's descendants.
……
Chiffon walked out of the cave and took a deep breath of the fresh air from the top of the mountain.
The pure aura of the second-order spiritual vein dojo made him feel relaxed and happy, and the mana in his body was a little more enjoyable.
"Sister Lan."
Before the injury healed, Chifeng took the initiative to find the maid Lan Rou to learn about the affairs of the mountain.
There is only one maid on the mountain, and there are not enough people.
Fortunately, there are spirit pets and puppets on the mountain, who take on most of the labor work.
After a moment of discussion, the two clarified the division of labor.
"Nowadays, the world outside is not restless, you are responsible for guarding the mountain, helping the master go out to run errands, and sharing some chores on the mountain."
"No problem, my little brother used to be a dart guard."
Chiffon is back to his old profession and feels very cordial.
In addition to his combat experience, he does not have good skills.
The two of them chatted.
A second-order flying boat, carrying three monks, came straight to the Little Turtle Peak.
At the bow of the boat stood a long-bearded man, about thirty or forty years old, a monk in the middle of the foundation period.
Behind him, there were two Qi Refining Cultivators, a man and a woman, who were the eighth and ninth layers of Qi refining.
"Sect Patrol Monk!"
Qi Feng chuckled in his heart, and immediately recognized that the two sect qi refining cultivators, a man and a woman, had chased and arrested him not long ago.
The pair of men and women of the sect saw Chi Feng and whispered to the long-bearded man in the foundation building period.
The long-bearded man glanced faintly.
Qi Feng was flustered, and he didn't dare to look directly at this master of the sect's foundation.
He was about to go to the cave to report, when there was a soft voice in his ears that was neither humble nor arrogant:
"Senior Liu, my lord has been informed, please go to the house to talk about it."
"I'm tired of the blue girl leading the way."
The long-bearded man showed a kind smile, and under Lan Rou's reception, he entered the Little Turtle Peak Cave Mansion.
During this time, I didn't look at Chiffon more.
Chifon, who regained his composure, noticed two details.
The foundation building monk of the sect came in person, but Grandpa Lu did not come out to greet him in person.
Moreover, the monk surnamed Liu was more polite to Lan Rou and a maid.
Outside the cave.
Chi Feng and the pair of male and female monks of the sect stared at each other with big eyes, and they were cold for a while.
Qi Feng noticed that the two sect monks who were chasing and beating him fiercely a few days ago no longer had much hostility in their eyes.
"Qi Daoyou, what is the relationship between you and Senior Lu?"
The female cultivator of the sect broke the silence, showed a subtle smile, and probed.
"Grandpa Lu ...... with me"
Chifeng's thoughts flew around, and he responded smartly, and his words were no longer cramped, and he seemed calm.
Unknowingly, the three people who were enemies before actually started chatting.
Half an hour later.
Lu Changan and the long-bearded man walked out of the cave and talked happily.
"Lu Daoyou, they are all a family, so you don't have to send them politely."
The bearded man had a ruddy face and a cheerful tone.
Before parting, he glanced at Chifeng:
"Qi Xiaoyou, stay in Xiaoguifeng with peace of mind in the future. The wanted notice on your body, the evidence is insufficient, and it can be officially crossed off the list when it is submitted to the Law Enforcement Hall and Elder Zhang takes care of it. ”
"Thank you seniors for your care."
Chiffon bowed, and while he was overjoyed, his heart set off a stormy wave.
Without investigation and interrogation, he, a major suspect, was cleared of the charge?
Perhaps, the other party doesn't care about the truth at all.
……
Chi Fung, who had been busy for a long time, presented a delicate fruit bowl in front of Lan Rou for a moment of compliment.
"Sister Lan, the foundation building monk of Jinyun Valley, why is he so polite to Grandpa Lu?"
The doubts in Qi Feng's heart did not dare to ask Lu Changan directly.
"That Liu Inspector, I have a request for the master."
Lan Rou ate the spirit fruit slowly.
"Two months ago, Liu Inspector asked the master to refine the quasi-third-order talisman in the task shared by the sect, but the master refused because of his lack of ability and did not buy his account."
"This man doesn't have a grudge?"
"The master's best friend, 'Tianfeng Zhenren', is the elder of the outer gate of Jinyun Valley and the deputy hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall. He can't even stammer, where dare he be angry? ”
"Elder Jinyun Valley?"
Qi Feng's heart was shaken, and his non-blood ancestor actually had such a powerful connection.
In the evening.
The two adjacent main peaks flew out of the two foundation building monks and went straight to the Little Turtle Peak.
The two foundation building monks, a man and a woman, have outstanding demeanor, and the spiritual pressure on their bodies is better than the previous Liu Patrol.
Especially the Zhuji nun who is wearing a moonlight skirt, her body is tall and plump, elegant and refined, and her rhyme is high and quiet.
Chi Feng was shocked, he was born in a casual cultivation, and he had never seen a foundation building nun with such a temperament.
"Shi Fairy and Ye Yaoshi are here."
Lan Rou tidied up her appearance and hurriedly stepped forward to receive her.
Lu Changan also came out of the cave.
"Congratulations to Lu Daoyou, who was promoted to the late stage of foundation building."
Shi Xianzi and Ye Fei came to congratulate them.
Previously, Lu Changan had just broken through his cultivation and needed to consolidate his realm, so they didn't come over as soon as possible.
For Lu Changan's promotion to the later stage of foundation building, Ye Fei was in a complicated mood, surprised and envious.
No matter how old he is, taking this crucial step, Lu Changan has caught up with most of the foundation building periods.
Most of the foundation building stage monks will not be able to advance to the later stage realm for life.
Shi Fairy smiled, as a former pillow person, fighting side by side with Lu Changan, he was not surprised to have a deeper understanding.
One hundred and forty years old, promoted to the later stage of foundation building, is indeed rare.
However, Lu Chang'an's cultivation speed was slow, step by step, down-to-earth, and there was no abnormality.
Many years ago, he asked Huanglongshan to collect materials and refine the rank-breaking elixir in the late stage of foundation building.
Sufficient financial resources, self-cultivation, deep foundation, and a state of mind that is better than ordinary people, and then get the pill of breaking the rank...... With all kinds of blessings, Lu Changan's breakthrough can stand up to scrutiny.
In this case, the outside world speculates at most that he has a certain chance, not much.
Can be cultivated to the later stage of foundation building, which one has no chance?
Now, Lu Changan's ability to protect the Dao has been greatly improved, and he has the strong connections of the sect elders, so he no longer needs to hide the second-order cultivation of the Xuanshui Turtle.
……
In the cave mansion, Lu Changan held a banquet to celebrate, took out the second-order spirit wine, and entertained the two peak masters.
Three rounds of drinking.
Ye Fei's face was ruddy, he burped, and said:
"With Lu Daoyou's talisman attainments, why don't you draw more high-quality talismans, strive to gain battle merits, and exchange them for some scarce resources."
"It's not a good deal."
Lu Changan shook his head and said, "If you want to exchange for battle merits, you must exceed the basic tasks apportioned, and there are requirements for the rank of the talisman. Lu has no shortage of spirit stones and cultivation resources for the time being. ”
"Besides, at Lu's age, there is no hope of getting married, so there is no need to work hard day and night."
During the war, the Liang sect opened the exchange of military merits to the monks recruited, and even the monks who shared the logistics tasks.
However, this exchange rule is very chicken thief.
Monks who go to the front line to fight are given more lucrative combat merits and are relatively easy to obtain.
However, such monks are prone to death in battle, and the risks are high, and they are likely to be unblessed.
The craftsmen who provide logistical and combat readiness resources have a much lower proportion of exchanging for combat merits, and there are also corresponding requirements for grades.
If Lu Chang'an could stably refine and supply the quasi-third-order talismans, the combat merits obtained would be very considerable, and he could even exchange them for most of the scarce materials of the Ning Jing Pill.
However, after several lifetimes, Lu Changan understands the truth of "those who can work hard".
If you are too capable, you may be expected to increase the shared tasks and expect more.
Therefore, Lu Changan adopted the strategy of touching fish and being a bastard.
Only complete basic shared tasks, and do not expect to gain merit.
A small amount of military exploits, he can't look down on them.
Too many combat exploits will easily attract the attention of the high-level of the sect, and if you run away in the future, it will increase the invisible resistance.
"Hopeless?"
Shi Fairy pursed her lips and chuckled, and said meaningfully:
"Lu Daoyou can be called a late blooming monk in the Liang Kingdom's immortal world, with a hundred years of life. In the future, if there is a great opportunity, it may not be impossible to break through the limit. ”
The theoretical upper limit of the foundation building period can reach 240 years.
However, ninety percent of the foundation building monks did not die halfway, and they lived to be more than two hundred years old.
Over the course of one or two hundred years, the vast majority of monks will have ups and downs in their lives, experiencing great joys and sorrows, and encountering certain accidents.
In addition to the fighting method, the small omissions in the cultivation of the exercises will affect the lifespan.
"With the help of the fairy Jiyan, Lu can find a fake pill in this life, which is a blessing from eight lifetimes of cultivation."
Lu Changan heard the hint in Shi Fairy's words.
The so-called great chance refers to the ancient ruins in the Black Mist Mountains.
According to the agreement, after Lu Changan is promoted to the late stage of foundation building, this matter will be upgraded to the agenda.
Ye Fei echoed: "Lu Daoyou is old and strong, a hundred years of time, the achievement of the fake pill, there should be some hope." ”
……
It was late at night.
Lu Changan sent the two peak masters out of the cave.
Shi Fairy stayed and exchanged a few words with Lu Changan alone.
"Haven't seen a ground rat in recent months?"
With a pair of clear eyes, Shi Fairy explored around the mountain and said in surprise.
In the past, every time she came to Xiaoguifeng, even if the ground rat did not appear, she could faintly feel the sense of surveillance in the dark.
"A few months ago, the ground rock rat was taken to Zhou's house by Miss Zhou to receive the baptism of the 'Blood Spirit Pool', so it should be back soon."
Lu Changan explained.
The quota of the Blood Spirit Pool, Lu Changan thought about it carefully, and finally gave it to the Earth Rock Rat.
The blood spirit pool can significantly increase the cultivation of spirit beasts, as well as improve the physique, and slightly increase the bloodline.
The bloodline of the Xuanshui turtle is of high grade, and the effect of improving the bloodline is minimal, and the cost performance is too low.
As for improving cultivation, it's not that bad.
The Xuanshui Turtle has been rubbing Lu Chang'an's evergreen cultivation for many years, and the speed blessing is already very fast.
A few days ago, Zhou Qingxuan wrote back and said: The ground rock rat lived a very nourishing life in Zhou's house, and there were many companies of the same kind, so he did not come back as soon as possible.
Lu Changan is not worried about the misfortune of the ground rock rat.
As long as he is safe and sound, and does not go to the Zhou family of the imperial beast, Zhou Qingxuan will not be able to play tricks.
"Lu Daoyou has just entered the later stage of foundation building, so you might as well consolidate it for a year and a half and prepare more means."
Shi Manrong changed to Transmission Channel.
"During this period, the concubine contacted Jiang Yechen and negotiated with him."
"Oh, which plan does the master fairy plan to use?"
The two strategies proposed by Lu Changan before are the analysis of the bystanders.
The specific plan to take, whether to do it or not, is based on the idea of the teacher fairy.
"The concubine is ready to salute first and then soldier, try not to do anything." Shi Fairy muttered, "However, Jiang Yechen has recently returned to Jiang's house and encountered a lot of trouble, so I'm afraid it's not easy to get in touch." ”
"The Jiang family, one of the seven great families?"
Lu Changan thought for a while, thought of the location of the Jiang family on the map of Liang Kingdom, and probably guessed what the trouble Jiang Yechen was facing.
