Chapter 229: Soul Artifact
"Compared to the Spirit Ship trip three years ago, Fang Daoyou's cultivation has not advanced at all, and his tone is much bigger."
Lu Changan chuckled.
He and Fang Zhong are both monks of the Liang Kingdom, and they once lived next to each other on the spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce, talked freely about wine, and had a good relationship.
After disembarking, the two went their separate ways.
Fang Zhong joins the stronger Crescent Chamber of Commerce and becomes the chamber's dart guard.
In terms of treatment and situation, it is actually not as good as Lu Changan.
"Wu Daoyou, since you insist on blocking it, don't blame Fang for being ruthless."
Fang Zhong's face was indifferent, and the purple-red spiritual light around his body swelled, exuding the spiritual pressure of the peak of the late stage of foundation building.
Call!
With a flick of his fingers, several deep balls of flame light swelled to the size of a water tank, like a scorching meteor, smashing towards Lu Changan and Xia Shenglan.
"Wu Daoyou, be careful! This person is really powerful! ”
Xia Shenglan's face was pale, and she reminded loudly, using the remaining mana to urge the damaged magic robe.
Rumble! Bang bang ......
The silver shield supreme magic weapon that Lu Changan sacrificed suddenly dimmed, and it was almost knocked off.
Lu Chang'an was slightly surprised, Fang Zhong's fighting power was stronger than he expected, and he was worthy of being a sect monk who had been on the battlefield of cultivating immortals.
"Humph!"
Fang Zhong seemed to be killing Lu Changan, his figure suddenly blurred, and the next moment he appeared a few feet away from Xia Shenglan's side.
A black spear, swirling with strange blue smoke, stabbed at Xia Shenglan with a swift blow.
"No ......"
Xia Sheng Orchid's face was pale, and because she was facing the pursuit and suppression of the lean young man in the middle stage of foundation building, she was seriously injured, and she was powerless to dodge.
The sound of a "bell".
A brownish-black ore, almost at the same time, flew over and hit the tail of the black spear.
Click!
The second-order high-grade brownish-black ore shattered in response.
The direction of the black spear's flight was visibly deflected, turning at least forty-five degrees.
Burst!
The lean young man in the middle of the foundation building shook his body and couldn't help but freeze.
He looked down blankly at the black spear that pierced his chest and swirled with strange blue smoke.
"Fang Zhong...... You ......"
The lean young man in the middle of the foundation building turned his head with difficulty, and his resentful eyes stared at Fang Zhong.
Disheveled!
The internal organs in the chest cavity exploded, the poison attacked, and the body of the lean young man fell down.
"This ...... How so! ”
Fang Zhong's face was ugly, his eyes widened, and he looked like he was alive.
He looked at Lu Changan uncertainly.
This kind of bizarre picture, Fang Zhong's first feeling is a coincidence.
But the ore thrown by Lu Changan and accurately intercepted his black spear, at least a certain amount of prediction.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to do this in the later stage of foundation building when he has the first opportunity.
"Fang Daoyou's teammates, don't you want to switch to the Wufu Chamber of Commerce?"
After a brief period of consternation, Lu Changan stroked his beard and smiled, with a happy face.
Fang Zhong noticed his expression, and when he heard the mockery, he looked extremely annoyed.
"Die together!"
Fang Zhong shouted fiercely, controlled the black spear, and smashed the air towards Lu Changan.
He flashed his figure again, and killed Xia Shenglan, who was weak and seriously injured, head-on.
Lu Changan understood his thoughts, and in the case of losing a companion, he must complete the task.
Xia Shenglan's vitality was greatly damaged, and her mana was not good, so she could only barely exert her strength in the early stage of foundation building.
The blow at the peak of the late stage of foundation building is enough to easily kill.
The location of the fighting method is relatively close to the Xia people in Qingshawan, and the time is limited.
Lu Changan's throat agitated, his mana soared, and he once again sacrificed the silver shield magic weapon.
Clang!
This time, the silver shield held off the more powerful black spear.
"Taking the secret medicine, the mana growth is almost in the late stage of foundation building?"
Fang Zhong noticed Lu Changan's changes, and his heart sank.
While blocking the black spear.
Lu Changan flicked his fingers and punched out a second-order high-grade protector, forming a wall of water curtain to assist Xia Shenglan and block Fang Zhong's frontal attack.
At this moment, in the direction of Qingshawan, there was a faint sound of breaking the air.
Fang Zhong's complexion changed greatly, looking at the surge in mana, almost comparable to Lu Chang'an in the late stage of foundation building, knowing that the general trend had gone.
"Wu Daoyou is just a casual cultivator, how can he do such a fighting method? Fang looked away. ”
Fang Zhong's cold gaze froze on Lu Changan's face for a moment.
After this battle, he realized that Lu Chang'an was not simple, and he was definitely not an ordinary monk in the Liang Kingdom's immortal cultivation realm.
Sou!
Fang Zhong gave up chasing Xia Shenglan, urged the secret method, and the blood on his body rippled, and he escaped at a speed close to that of a fake Dan real person.
……
"Fang Daoyou, I met on the spirit ship back then, and Wu gave you a way to live."
Lu Changan's flat voice reached Fang Zhong's ears.
The square clock in flight, hearing this warning, was heartbroken.
He didn't know that he had been shut down from the ghost gate once.
Lu Changan didn't kill him for two reasons.
First, he and Fang Zhong are both monks of the Liang Kingdom, and there is no real hatred, just a difference of position.
Second, Lu Chang'an's identity in the Wufu Chamber of Commerce is a Danshi in the middle stage of foundation building.
Taking secret medicine, increasing mana, and making moves in the later stage of foundation building, and taking advantage of it, this is already very good.
The gap between the middle and late stages of foundation building is already large.
If you want to leave a late-stage peak like Fang Zhong, you have to have the strength of the fake Dan level.
Even when the world is arrogant, and he can't do it in the middle of foundation building, he has the combat power of a fake Dan real person.
Burst!
Xia Shenglan finally couldn't hold it anymore, blood spilled from her mouth, and a tall figure in a blue dress staggered towards the river.
"Miss Xia."
Lu Changan stepped on the light, flew over, and hugged Xia Shenglan.
Chirping!
The ground rat did not need Lu Chang'an's orders, burrowed into the Changhong River, and collected the spoils from the corpse of the lean young man.
"Wu Daoyou......"
Xia Shenglan was lying in Lu Chang'an's arms, her eyelids struggling, and she felt the body temperature of the strange male cultivator.
Lu Changan heard the sound of breaking the air in the distance, but he didn't want Xia Shenglan to fall into a coma on him, causing unnecessary misunderstandings, and he would have to explain at that time.
He took out two pills, one to heal his wounds and one to return to the yuan, and gave them to Xia Shenglan.
The other palm was attached to Xia Shenglan's back, using mana to guide the effect of the elixir.
In this life, Lu Changan became a second-order Dan Master, and his evergreen mana was good at healing, and he had a little experience in medical skills.
A moment of effort.
A second-order high-grade flying boat, carrying three foundation-building monks, arrived at the scene of the fighting method.
Xia Shenglan recovered a little mana, but her beautiful face was still pale and weak.
"Uncle Yong! Famous song ......"
Xia Shenglan was still snuggled in Lu Changan's arms at this time, and her beautiful and fair face was slightly red.
Her body was weak and weak, and she wanted to use her mana, but she caused internal injuries, and she couldn't help but moan.
Xia Mingqu and his father Xia Yongzhong glanced at each other, their expressions were slightly weird.
Fortunately, Lu Changan personally sent Xia Shenglan to sit on the flying boat to heal his injuries, which resolved the embarrassing atmosphere.
……
"Sheng Lan, why is you injured like this?"
On the way back, Xia Shenglan's injuries were stable, and her complexion improved slightly, Xia Yongzhong asked.
At this time, Lu Changan already knew Xia Shenglan's identity.
This woman is a female clansman who married out of the Xia clan, and she is considered the cousin of Xia Mingqu according to her generation.
said that it was a foreign marriage, but it was actually a joint marriage with the Xin family, which ranked second in strength in the Wufu Chamber of Commerce.
"I came back from the Xin family this time to report important news to the patriarch."
As a result, on the way to Qingshawan, he was intercepted by two people during the foundation building period. Among them, the one in the late stage of foundation building is terrifying......"
Sheng Lan ran out of life-saving means, her vitality was greatly damaged, and she was in a catastrophe. Fortunately, I met Wu Danshi, who was of the Hui nationality, and with his help, I persevered until the reinforcements arrived. ”
Speaking of this, Xia Shenglan cast a grateful look at Lu Changan.
As a party concerned, Lu Changan naturally inevitably answered some inquiries.
"Wu took a Wuxuan Dan, and his mana increased by a bit, which was comparable to Zhou Xuan in the later stage of foundation building. It was also lucky that Fang Zhong's attack method actually killed his accomplice by mistake......"
Lu Changan's statement, looking back at the situation at the time, was confirmed by Xia Shenglan.
The foundation building monk of the Xia clan, except for being a little surprised by Lu Changan's good fighting strength, didn't think much about it.
As a second-order Dan Master, Lu Chang'an has an elixir that increases mana, which is also reasonable.
Return to Ching Sha Wan.
Xia Yongzhong's father and son talked with Lu Changan privately for a while to express their gratitude.
"Wu Danshi saved Sheng Lan today, and my Xia clan owes you a favor. In the future, if you have any requirements, you can put them forward. ”
Xia Yongzhong is the president of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce and solemnly made a promise.
"President Xia is polite."
Lu Changan rescued people easily, got the promise of favor from the Xia people, and met his psychological expectations.
Lu Changan also has some needs for the Xia people and the Wufu Chamber of Commerce.
A stable cultivation dojo and alchemy are just the most basic needs.
The site of the Earth Rock Rat Ning Dan can be considered to use the quasi-third-order spirit vein of the Xia Clan.
In the future, Lu Changan will need to apply to the immortal city in the Shang Alliance for the use of the third-order spirit vein; It is much easier with the assistance and endorsement of the Chamber of Commerce.
No matter how bad it is, Lu Changan will break the contract in advance in the future, leave the Wufu Chamber of Commerce, offset this favor, and have no debt.
……
Returning to Autumn Wind Island, Lu Changan asked the ground rock rat to concentrate on retreat and adjust his state.
The ground rock rat has been cultivated to the peak of the second order, and there is no way to advance in cultivation.
At this stage, the main thing is to adjust one's own state of essence, qi and spirit.
A complete state and state of mind will help Ning Dan.
A few months of groundworm retreat.
Lu Changan has two more things to plan.
First, determine the site of the ground rock rat Ningdan.
The venue of Ning Dan, the quasi-third-order spiritual vein of the Xia family, or the special spiritual vein place provided by the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce can all be considered.
The effect of the latter may be slightly better, but the difference will not be very large.
Lu Changan leaned towards the Xia family.
Mainly due to the understanding, the credibility and reputation of the Xia people, Lu Changan sees it in his eyes.
The Xia clan owes him a favor, and it can be used.
If you find the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce, Lu Changan will still owe a favor, or pay the corresponding price.
Second, the knot of the spirit object.
The ground rock rat has the Xuan Yuan Pill, and the standard Ning Jing Dan is not lacking, and there is no shortage of cultivation grounds.
The only thing that lacks is the spiritual object that improves the quality of Cheng Dan.
To be precise, what is lacking is a high-quality knot pill spirit object, such as the Heavenly Pure Water that Lu Changan once traded with the Tianshu Dao people.
Ordinary knot pill spirit object, when Lu Changan was cultivating the immortal realm in Liang Kingdom, he once found a thing.
It's just that the effect is weak, and it's better than nothing.
"The value of a high-grade knot pill spirit object is not lower than that of Ning Jing Dan, or even more scarce."
In a few months, Lu Changan quietly sneaked out of Qingshawan, disguised different identities, and went to the nearby fairy city to try his luck.
As a result, in his expectations, there was no whereabouts of the superior knot pill spirit object.
Lu Changan's share of heavenly purification water was prepared for himself, and he was not sure to get a second one in the next few decades.
"Time is also fate."
Lu Changan sighed.
The ground rock rat is a second-order high-grade mutant bloodline, with the Evil Yuan Pill, and the foundation and actual combat are good.
If there is a superior knot pill spirit object to complement each other, there is a lot of hope for the achievement of the true pill.
Otherwise, you can only guarantee the fake pill and compete for the real pill, and the success rate is less than three percent.
……
On this day, Xia Shenglan, who had just recovered from her injuries, came to Qiufeng Island to visit Lu Changan.
"Xia Daoyou, please come in."
Lu Changan came out of the mansion.
Today's Xia Shenglan, with light makeup and heavy makeup, wears an ice silkworm dress, adding a touch of stunning temperament to the original middle-class beauty.
"Wu Daoyou doesn't have to be polite. The concubine came over today, firstly, to give a thank-you gift, and secondly, to come to see Aunt Wenyue. ”
Xia Shenglan's face was bright and bright, and a touch of pale red appeared on her cheeks.
It's not that this woman is shy, but the faint blush that comes with her makeup.
"Let Xia Daoyou break the bank."
Lu Changan excused himself a little and took a gift box.
The gifts given during the ordinary foundation building period could not surprise him, mainly a heart.
Xia Wenyue, who was wearing a plain skirt and a weak willow to support the wind, entered the main hall and prepared to make tea for the two.
Although Xia Wenyue is weak and pale, she still surpasses Xia Shenglan a lot in terms of appearance.
"Aunt Wenyue, let me come."
Xia Shenglan smiled and took over Xia Wenyue's work.
Xia Wenyue has a very high rank in the clan, but letting Xia Shenglan in the foundation building period treat her like this surprised Lu Changan.
Lu Changan simply asked Xia Wenyue to sit down and chat with Xia Shenglan.
With Xia Wenyue taking the bridge, Xia Shenglan naturally got closer to Lu Changan, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Before sunset.
Xia Shenglan said goodbye and left, and Xia Wenyue took her to the edge of Autumn Wind Island.
"Sheng Lan, do you like Wu Danshi?"
Xia Wenyue said hesitantly.
During this visit, she found that Xia Shenglan intended to get closer to Lu Changan and deliberately show her charm.
Xia Wenyue believes that Xia Shenglan, as a married woman who marries outside, violates women's morals.
"Like? It's okay. ”
Xia Shenglan tilted her head and thought for a while, not sure.
In her mind, the appearance of a middle-aged man with a round face and yellow beard appeared in Wu Danshi's mind, at least he didn't hate it.
Wu Danshi heroically saved the beauty, Xia Shenglan was grateful, and it was inevitable that she had some good feelings.
It's just that this kind of favor can't be linked to love.
"Aunt Wenyue, there are some things you don't understand."
Xia Shenglan sighed, her face flushed with bitterness.
"Xin Zhijing and I are only a nominal husband and wife, and the family is married. Over the years, the contradictions between the Xia and Xin clans in the Wufu Chamber of Commerce have increased day by day, and the relationship between me and him has long existed in name only. ”
"Well, I misunderstood."
Xia Wenyue recalled Xia Shenglan's experience, it was not easy to bear so much for the family.
"Nope! You are not mistaken. ”
Xia Shenglan left a sentence and flew away from Autumn Wind Island.
……
A few days later, the ground rock rat came out of the customs, and the state of spirit and spirit was adjusted to the best.
Lu Changan came to the basement and met the ground rock rat.
"The Demon Beast Ning Dan method you got from the Zhou family, have you already digested it?"
"Well, it's your knot."
Lu Changan handed over the Sha Yuan Pill, two bottles of pills, and a banana leaf to the ground rock rat.
Creak!
The ground rock rat's eyes bloomed, and he opened his mouth to inhale these knotted things into his stomach, and then excitedly rubbed to land in Chang'an, expressing joy and gratitude.
"It's a pity that I didn't find you a high-quality knot elixir." Lu Changan said regretfully.
The ground rat was stunned for a moment, hesitated to open its mouth, and carefully spit out a dark yellow crystal.
"Jie Dan Spirit Object, Xuancitrine!"
Lu Changan was taken aback and looked at the ground rock rat in disbelief.
Xuancitrine, this is the same level as the heavenly pure water.
"Yes, you actually know that you have your own knot pill spirit object!"
Lu Changan touched its head, revealing a look of approval.
Where did the ground rock rat's knot pill spirit come from, Lu Changan had a rough guess, but he did not investigate it in detail.
The ground rock rats have been accompanied for more than 100 years, and they often pack up the spoils of war for Lu Chang'an, including the foundation building period, and there are fake Dan real people, including the monks of Fengguo.
This rat has a keen sense of smell, has been to the Black Fog Mountains to train, and has spent a few months in the ancient ruins.
In addition, staying underground all year round may also find opportunities.
Seeing that Lu Changan didn't blame himself for his private collection, the ground rock rat breathed a sigh of relief.
Creak!
It happily waved its claws and drew a picture, rubbing the storage bag that landed in Chang'an.
"Oh? Do I still have a knot pill spirit object on me? Heavenly water can't be given to you. ”
Lu Changan shook his head and said.
It would be nice that he didn't covet the ground rat's aneuryst. Theoretically, different types of knot pill spirit objects can also be superimposed.
The ground rat shook its head with a wave of its claws.
"Isn't it heavenly water? So what's more. ”
"Well, is it-"
Lu Chang'an had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he couldn't help patting his thighs, he actually ignored such a heaven and earth spiritual thing.
