Qingshawan, in the cave of the young master of the Xia family.

"Dare to ask Wu Danshi, what is the matter with this trip?"

Xia Mingqu was dressed in dark brocade, his face was like a crown of jade, and his posture was handsome.

Knowing Lu Changan's intention, he was a little surprised, but it was also reasonable.

In the two or three years that Lu Changan has been stationed on Qiufeng Island, he rarely goes out, and he has never made a long trip.

The spiritual contract signed by Lu Changan and the Wufu Chamber of Commerce is mainly the responsibility of alchemy and the term of twenty years. Other than that, there are no restrictions on personal freedom.

Of course, the second-order spirit contract has a strong binding force on the foundation building period, and if it is violated, the backlash will not be light.

Moreover, the spirit contract is protected by the merchant alliance and leaves the mana imprint of the signatory, which has a tracking effect within a certain range.

"Wu is over 100 years old, and he has been promoted to the middle stage of foundation building for many years, and he can't delay it any longer. This time I went out to seek the 'Xuanwu Dan', a rank-breaking elixir in the later stage of foundation building, or the main medicine for refining. ”

Lu Changan's tone was solemn and explained the reason.

Hearing this, Xia Mingqu was silent for a breath or two, and there was no particularly good excuse for refusal.

If it is a general resource, Xia Mingqu can do it for Lu Changan through the channel of the Chamber of Commerce.

However, the order-breaking pill in the later stage of foundation building belongs to a strategic resource.

Even if the Wufu Chamber of Commerce has it, it is the internal family priority, or seeking favors and important interests for the business alliance, and will not give Lu Changan an outsider.

"Half a month later, there will be an auction in the 'Cloud Smoke Immortal City', during which there are rare second-order high-quality longevity pills for sale, and Xuanwu Dan should also have them."

Xia Mingqu groaned:

"If Master Wu Dan is not in a hurry, he will go with me and my father at that time, so that it will be safer on the way."

"There are more monks and less meat at the auction, and Wu has other plans, so he can't accompany him."

Lu Changan shook his head and rejected Young Master Xia's proposal.

"Then Wu Daoyou be careful on the road, this jade tube contains the complete map of the Jing Kingdom's cultivation immortal realm."

Xia Mingqu was no longer reluctant, and handed a jade cylinder to Lu Changan.

"Thank you, young master."

Lu Changan heard the off-string sound of Xia's famous song.

Jing is currently in the era of peace, and the monks in the middle of foundation building go out normally, as long as they don't have any big enemies, they won't worry about their own safety.

Lu Changan couldn't help but think of the current situation of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce, which was said to have been suppressed by the Crescent Chamber of Commerce.

A few months ago, he heard medicine boy Xia Jincheng say that in the Wu family, one of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce, a lone Zhuji elder was attacked, and he escaped by luck with life-saving means and returned with serious injuries.

Wufu Chamber of Commerce suspected: This is a ghost done by the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, but it didn't catch the evidence.

Xia Mingqu's proposal just now, in addition to worrying about Lu Chang'an's escape, also had some good intentions.

Young Master Xia personally sent Lu Changan out of the cave and watched the latter's figure in the distance.

"Wu Fan is a fresh face in the Wufu Chamber of Commerce, not a key figure, and should not become a target for hostile forces."

……

"Boutique Life Extension Pill?"

A moment later, Lu Changan flew out of Qingshui Bay, his eyes glowing with a different color.

In the Liang Kingdom Cultivation Immortal Realm, he had stayed for so many years, but he had never encountered a second-order high-quality longevity pill, and he had only been in Jing Kingdom for three years, and he had met unexpectedly.

This is not to say that Liang Guo does not have a high-quality longevity pill.

Liang Guo cultivates the immortal realm, and the sect forces are absolutely dominant, monopolizing too many scarce resources.

Generally, the high-quality longevity pills that are baked are mostly digested internally or offered to the upper class.

The high-quality longevity pill that rarely flows out, the opportunity is fleeting. Lu Changan stayed in Wuqi Mountain all the year round, and it was difficult to control the dynamics of each immortal city and Fang City.

The Jing Kingdom Immortal Cultivation Realm is different.

The business alliance here is strong, the trade is developed, the circulation of resources is convenient, and there are many craftsmen.

The monopoly of certain scarce resources is slightly better than that of Liang State.

"In addition to the fact that Jing Country does not have Yuanying-level forces, the top combat power is somewhat inferior, and the middle-level monks and forces are not weaker than the Liang Kingdom's immortal cultivation realm."

Although Lu Changan didn't go out much, he had an understanding of the situation in Jing through exchanges with the Xia monks.

Without the absolute domination of the Yuanying-level forces, the forces of all parties maintain a relative balance, and the resources will not be excessively highly monopolized.

"Without the Yuanying True Monarch, the Jing Kingdom Immortal Cultivation Realm can maintain its prosperity for so many years as a neutral country without being affected by the war."

Before Lu Changan came to Jingguo, he had some doubts.

This stems from three main points.

First, Jing Guo did not have a fourth-order spiritual vein, so it was not attractive to Yuanying Zhenjun.

Second, the reason for geographical location.

Jing is backed by the Black Mist Mountains, between the states of Chen and Liang.

The immortal cultivation forces of the Chen State and the Liang State were similar, and the Jing State took advantage of this to achieve a balance, and the two sides were able to win over and maintain neutrality.

In addition, the land around Jing Kingdom, the two neighboring countries want to annex it, even if they occupy the country, it is difficult to control.

Third, there is a rumor.

It is said that Jing Guo once gave birth to a son of luck who went to the center of the Daqing cultivation world to achieve the Yuanying True Monarch.

That Yuanying True Monarch is strong and powerful, and he has joined a Yuanying-level faction that inherits the ancient heritage.

The neighboring Immortal Cultivation Kingdom has scruples about that Yuanying True Monarch, and there is no need to get involved in the Jing Kingdom.

Regarding this rumor, Lu Changan was skeptical.

Maybe it's true, or it may be the momentum of the Jing State Business Alliance.

……

Half a day later, Lu Changan had already flown out of the Xia family's sphere of influence.

On the way, he secretly observed that the Xia family did not send anyone to monitor him.

Lu Changan's perception of the Xia family has improved slightly.

In addition to the constraints of the second-order spirit contract, Lu Chang'an's low-key duty in the first three years has won the initial trust of the Xia clan.

As for the snooping and targeting of the hostile chamber of commerce, Lu Changan's luck was not so bad and he never encountered it.

The potential threat of the hostile chamber of commerce, Lu Changan didn't care much about it.

Whether it is the Wufu Chamber of Commerce or the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, it is not the top chamber of commerce in the business alliance.

The two major chambers of commerce do not have Zhendan monks.

The strongest person in charge is the False Dan.

The fake Dan real person has no real threat to Lu Chang'an, who has cultivated to the quasi-third order of alchemy.

Not to mention, the fake Dan real people of the two major chambers of commerce, as the highest combat deterrent, will never be easily dispatched.

"Boutique longevity pill? Cloud Smoke Immortal City...... The closest immortal city to the Xia family. ”

Lu Changan muttered to himself, making sure that there was no one around, and he drove the light and landed in a small forest along the road

A moment later.

An old man in the foundation building period, stepped on a flying boat, came out of the woods, and flew in the direction of Yunyan Immortal City.

In fact, Lu Chang'an's original planned destination was not Yunyan Immortal City.

It is the first immortal city of Jing where the general helm of the Shang Alliance is located.

Planning for the earth rock rat to build a pill resource, naturally the bigger the immortal city, the greater the chance.

After hearing the news of the "Boutique Life Extension Pill", Lu Changan temporarily changed his plan and planned to go to Yunyan Immortal City to have a look.

The scale of Cloud Smoke Immortal City is also good.

The high-quality longevity pill is enough to attract some powerful veteran foundation building monks, and even some fake pill real people.

In the short term, this fairy city has become a hot spot and attracts a lot of traffic.

The major chambers of commerce within it will naturally come up with more high-level scarce goods and start the signboard of their own stores.

"Ordinary longevity pills, take one of the same grade, and the longevity effect cannot be superimposed."

"The Boutique Life Extension Pill is different! Even if you have taken the same level of genuine longevity pill before, and then take a high-quality product, you can enjoy two or three percent of the life extension effect. Repeat it, but the cost performance is really lower......"

Due to the special reasons of the exercises, Lu Changan took ordinary longevity pills, and the effects could be superimposed, but they would continue to decay.

He was very curious about what effect he would have if he took the high-quality longevity pill by himself.

The Life Extension Pill can not only slightly increase the power of Evergreen Mana; Cultivating that mysterious Xuanmu vine also requires sacrificial lifespan.

……

Three days later.

A misty water fairy city reflected Lu Chang'an's field of vision.

The entire fairy city, made of gray-white porphyry rocks, looks like a piece of crystal white jade in a vast lake at first glance.

Yunyan Immortal City, an immortal city under the power of the Shang Alliance, is jointly controlled by several chambers of commerce.

Jing was in an era of peace, trade was prosperous, and the control of entry and exit in Xiancheng was not strict.

Lu Chang'an's identity during the foundation building period was not even checked, nor did he collect the spirit stones that entered the city.

This loose strategy is mainly for non-business monks.

If you are a monk in business, there are various regulations, tax payment, identity verification, etc.

There are still more than ten days before the auction, and the flow of people in Yunyan Immortal City is increasing day by day.

Lu Changan was new to the city, and he was not familiar with the environment of Yunyan Immortal City, so he did not act rashly.

On the same day, he settled in a high-end inn called "Xunxian Mansion" in the center of Xiancheng.

Xunxian Mansion is said to be an inn, but it is actually a luxury mansion, and the first-class rooms are all detached and have their own courtyards.

Lu Changan has sufficient financial resources and pays attention to privacy, so he naturally lives in a single courtyard room, and the daily cost is sixty spirit stones.

On the desk of the guest room, in addition to commonly used items, cleaning charms, etc., there is also a jade cylinder.

"A Guide to Cloud Smoke Immortal City?"

In the jade tube, the basic situation of Yunyan Immortal City is recorded, and there is a brief introduction to the major forces, shops, stall areas, and auctions.

Even the major "fairy buildings" that look for flowers and willows are introduced in the jade tube.

Moreover, as a high-end inn, Xunxian Mansion considers the privacy of guests, and cooperates with major immortal buildings to support door-to-door delivery services.

On the desk, there is also an album depicting female cultivators with different temperaments.

"The service is intimate."

Lu Changan had to admit that Jing cultivated the immortal realm, the atmosphere was more open, and the chamber of commerce had a flexible business mind.

The services provided by Xunxian Mansion to its guests are not limited to this.

Superior rooms with some perks.

For example, we provide free escort to our guests.

That night, Lu Changan contacted the maid in the guest room and made an appointment to accompany him tomorrow.

The "Yunyan Immortal City Guide" is only a basic guide introduction, and the actual situation in the local area has to deal with the local monks in the immortal city.

Lu Chang'an went out this time, and the resources he wanted to purchase were not limited to planning for the ground rock rats, and he was not in a hurry.

"In the three years since I arrived in Liang Guo, my puppet skills and theoretical comprehension have reached the quasi-third level. It's just that the corresponding puppet materials on the body are consumed very little. ”

Lu Changan was confident that as long as he purchased another batch of materials, he would be able to become a quasi-third-order puppeteer.

A quasi-third-order puppet, corresponding to a fake Dan real person.

Once the refining was successful, Lu Changan's self-protection ability increased greatly.

If you refine more than two quasi-third-order puppets, you will have the possibility of confronting the True Dan Monk head-on.

Compared with the Yudan resources, the difficulty of quasi-third-order puppet materials is much lower.

……

Early the next morning.

Outside the guest room of Lu Chang'an's single courtyard, a pair of young male and female monks waited outside the door.

"Ah Feng, remember not to inquire about the privacy of your guests again. If this kind of thing is known to the shopkeeper, he will be expelled from Xiancheng at the least......"

One of them, a beautiful woman in a white dress with exquisite makeup, lowered her voice and admonished.

"Sister Ting, I know. The guests we received last time were from the Liangguo Chamber of Commerce. It was also the first time I met it, and I was inevitably curious, so I asked more. ”

The young man standing opposite him had distinct facial features, a straight nose, and thin lips.

He smiled bitterly, and subconsciously touched his cheek with his hand, where the bones were still faintly painful at this time.

Fortunately, the monk Liang Guozhuji he met last time only slapped him in the face and did not complain to the Xunxian Mansion Inn.

"Senior let you in."

After waiting for half an hour, the maid in the upper room, with the beauty in the white dress and the young monk, entered the room of the single courtyard.

"I've seen my seniors."

In front of the stone table in the small courtyard, there sat an old man who was over the age of sixteen and had a thin body.

Lao Suo's cloudy eyes looked at a man and a woman.

This is a complimentary benefit for a superior room, and you can choose a ground escort.

If the hospitality is good, a little reward from the first-class room is worth their income for a year and a half.

The white dress is beautiful, down-to-earth and generous, and her demeanor is more elegant and mature.

The young monk bowed his head and behaved slightly jerky.

Lu Changan's gaze lingered on the beauty in the white dress for a moment.

He glanced at the young monk again.

"Huh?"

Lu Changan inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

He was sure that the young monk's appearance had never been seen in his memory.

This sense of familiarity should be the breath of the other party.

"Two juniors, what do you call them."

Lu Changan said quietly, secretly using his divine sense to probe the situation of the young monk.

It was found that this person had suffered extremely serious internal injuries, and the dantian and meridians had left dark diseases that were difficult to reverse, causing his cultivation to fall to the Qi refining stage.

Not only that, but the other party's spiritual root qualification is the earth spiritual root!

Lu Chang'an had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he suddenly thought of the identity of this young man.

"Concubine, Lu Shuting."

"Junior, Wang Feng."

The nun in the white dress and the young monk had a look of anticipation in their eyes.

Lu Changan groaned slightly, and said:

"Xiao Wang, it's you! Accompany the old man to walk around the fairy city. ”

The 9th was not updated. I coded a few hundred words, and my eyes were a little blurry.
