"One hundred and fifty-five years old, eight floors of foundation."

Lu Changan felt the majestic lake of mana in his body, and it expanded by about three percent.

Since it is not a breakthrough in a small realm, the "quality" of mana has not changed significantly, and the strength has not increased much.

It's just a step further in the later stages of foundation building.

"With the current cultivation progress, if you have cultivated to the ninth layer of the foundation, you will probably be around one hundred and seventy years old."

Lu Changan speculated.

Building nine layers of foundation can theoretically impact the Dan period.

However, in order to increase their grasp, most of the condensation pills will try their best to cultivate to the peak of the ninth layer of the foundation, and no matter how bad it is, they will consolidate it for two or three years.

Fu Xuemei at that time, when she first entered the ninth layer of the foundation, began to form a pill before she was consolidated. Due to the lack of heritage, it affected the quality of the final Cheng Dan.

Even so, Fu Xuemei's qualifications and spiritual roots were reluctantly formed into a true pill after their minds were clear.

Lu Chang'an's situation is different.

He wants to take the route of "returning the liquid and reshaping the condensation", which is not achieved overnight.

For the first time, you don't have to pursue the peak of the ninth layer of the foundation.

If the quality of the Cheng Dan is high, the difficulty and risk of fragmenting the Inner Dan will be greatly increased.

The first chemical pill reflux, inexperienced. To be on the safe side, it's best to be like Zhang Tieshan and form a fake pill first.

……

A few days later, Lu Changan went out of the customs and went down the underground tunnel to the bottom of the deep pool behind the mansion.

First, check the growth status of the Xuanmu cane.

There are almost no traces of growth in this vine, and the small fruits on it are yellow and black, and they are lifeless.

"It seems that listening to the 'Xuantian Gourd' in the record of Haige, it has completely failed to condense ......"

Even Lu Changan's evergreen secret technique is powerless to return to the sky.

He had consumed Shouyuan to nourish the dead fruit, and the result was like a stone in the sea, and there was no reaction.

Fortunately, the life qi of the vine has been stabilized, and the small piece of green on the vine is more conspicuous than before.

Compared with the situation in the ancient ruins, which were about to die, it is much stronger.

Lu Changan looked at the Xuanshui Turtle on the side again, inputting evergreen mana into it to promote growth.

Over the years, since the Xuanshui Turtle had guarded the Xuanmu Vine and irrigated it, it had rarely taken the initiative to suck the residual breath of Lu Chang'an's cultivation.

Lu Changan guessed that a certain benefit brought by the Xuanmu Huvine was more fragrant than his own evergreen skill in the mind of the Xuanshui Turtle.

With the gain of evergreen mana and Xuanmu Huvine, the growth rate of the Xuanshui Turtle is far faster than that of its peers.

A normal Xuanshui turtle often takes four or five hundred years to cultivate to the True Dan level.

Lu Changan's Xuanshui Turtle is estimated to not be used for half the time.

"As a land-grade bloodline, this turtle has far better qualifications than ground rock rats, and it has the unknown gain of Xuanmu Huten. In the future, I wonder what kind of quality of Neidan will be formed? ”

Lu Changan was looking forward to and curious about this.

Return to the Ground Mansion.

Xia Wenyue was waiting outside the door, asking to see her.

"Come in." Lu Changan waved his sleeves and opened the door.

Xia Wenyue bowed and said dignifiedly: "Mr. Lu, just now a message from the clansmen said that there was a foundation building monk outside Qingshawan visiting you. ”

"Does that person have a registration number?"

"No, the man has concealed his face." Xia Wenyue replied.

Lu Changan was about to refuse.

"That man claims to be your old friend in Liang Kingdom." Xia Wenyue hurriedly added.

"An old friend of Liang Guo?"

Lu Changan pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, and ordered Xia Wenyue to bring the man over.

For a brief moment, he asked the ground mouse to probe and smell a familiar scent.

The person who came was indeed an old man, and his friendship was not shallow.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Xia Wenyue went and returned, followed by a broad-robed monk wearing a hat and green veil.

The person was wrapped in a robe, and no man or woman could be seen.

Xia Wenyue tacitly retreated and closed the door of the side hall.

Lu Changan looked at a pair of dark eyes through the green yarn of the hat, and smiled slightly:

"Miss Shen, I haven't seen you for twenty years, don't come unharmed?"

Hearing this, the broad-robed monk's body stiffened for a moment, and then he immediately took off the green veil of the hat.

It was a woman's face, about thirty-seven or eighteen years old.

The facial features are well contoured, but the crow's feet are obvious, the fair skin is slightly dull spots, and the dark eyes are no longer bright, and there is a kind of calm and deep that has passed through the years.

Lu Changan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and it seemed that he couldn't associate the gentle and quiet beauty with snow-white skin with the "half-old" in front of him.

Let Lu Fushi smile. The concubine is old and yellow, married and has children, and she can't afford to be called a 'girl'. ”

Shen Bixin's voice was calm, and it was difficult to hide the bitterness and loneliness between the charms.

"Shen Daoyou don't have to mind! For those of us who are cultivators, the appearance is not important, but it is just a layer of skin. ”

Lu Chang'an spoke softly, smiled and raised his hand, and let Shen Bixin sit down.

Shen Bixin is the eldest lady of the Liang Guo Tengxing Chamber of Commerce, and has business contacts and cooperation with Lu Changan.

When I first met, Jiang Yechen hugged her in a coma and came to Wuqi Mountain for medical treatment.

Shen Bixin was originally in love with Jiang Yechen, but was opposed by the elders of the Chamber of Commerce.

In the end, she married Song Wenshu, who had a good background and a promising future from the Fire Palace.

When she took her seat, Lu Changan looked at Shen Bixin quietly and found that her cultivation was stagnant at the peak of the late stage of foundation building.

"The spirit is declining, and the mana is sinking."

Lu Changan judged that this woman should have failed to marry Dan and had suffered backlash, resulting in a great injury to her vitality and damage to her body's foundation.

Otherwise, with Shen Bixin's rich net worth, taking the elixir of rejuvenation and beauty, his face would not have withered so quickly.

This is not the worst outcome.

It is not uncommon for some of the losers of the Yudan to die directly on the spot, or to fall in the realm.

In fact, Shen Bixin's qualifications are good, and his background is better than that of ordinary monks.

It stands to reason that the hope of forming a fake pill is not small.

At least in Lu Chang'an's opinion, it is more promising than the division fairy who has not been promoted to a third-order formation master.

But the world of cultivating immortals is impermanent, and it is difficult to have absolute certainty, and it is normal to fail.

"I don't know how Song Daoyou is doing?"

Lu Changan didn't want to expose Shen Bixin's shortcomings and change the topic.

Song Wenshu, as the elite of the Lihuo Palace, has a lot of backgrounds and has some friendship with Lu Changan.

"Wen Shu...... In the Immortal Cultivation War a few years ago, he was unfortunately killed. ”

Shen Bi's eyes were gloomy, and her face was sad.

"Song Wenshu died in battle?"

Lu Changan's expression froze, but he didn't expect to change the topic and reveal the scars of Shen Bixin, the surviving person.

The war of cultivating immortals in the territory of Liang State was a heavy death.

True Dan, fake Dan real people, there are not a few deaths.

The death of the foundation building period is naturally not so conspicuous, unless it is a friend who pays special attention.

Therefore, Lu Changan only knew the news of Song Wenshu's death at this time.

"When did Shen Daoyou come to Jing Kingdom?"

"The Tengxing Chamber of Commerce, where the concubine is located, transferred some of its descendants and industries long before the war in the Liang Kingdom began...... Three years ago, the concubine brought her husband's flesh and blood heirs, and came to Jingguo to develop with the descendants of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

Shen Bixin recounted the past a few years ago.

Lu Changan secretly sighed that the Tengxing Chamber of Commerce had taken precautions and had laid out manpower and industries in Jingguo in advance.

In this way, through the connections here, it is less difficult to take over the monks of the Liang Kingdom.

……

"Shen Daoyou's visit this time to cover up his identity, shouldn't he simply ask Lu to catch up with the past?"

Half an hour later, Lu Changan finished understanding Shen Bixin's ups and downs in his life for nearly 20 years, and finally got to the point.

"Master Lu owed a favor to his concubine back then, but now it counts?"

Shen Bixin looked directly at Lu Chang'an's expression.

"Count."

Lu Changan didn't think twice.

He really owes Shen Bixin a favor.

In the middle of the foundation building in the past. In order to collect a batch of materials, including hard-to-find third-order materials, and speed up the promotion of refining to quasi-third-order, he asked Shen Bixin's Chamber of Commerce for help.

At that time, Shen Bixin didn't ask Lu Changan for any payment, as long as he promised a favor.

"Master Lu Fu is really noble, honest and reliable."

Shen Bixin was pleased, and showed a smile for the first time.

"Oh, Shen Daoyou wants to fulfill the promise he made today?"

"Nope! The concubine has not yet reached the point of exhaustion. What I said just now is just to verify the integrity of Lu Fushi's character. ”

"The concubine came here this time to be entrusted by someone to be a middleman. What is said next, whether it is successful or not, I hope that Master Lu Fu can keep it secret. ”

Shen Bixin's face was solemn, and she turned to voice communication.

Lu Changan realized that the matter mentioned by Shen Bixin was very important, and he set up an isolation ban in place.

The two looked at each other, their lips squirmed, and they exchanged voices for a long time.

"Elder Wang's grandson from the Fire Palace, Wang Feng?"

Lu Changan was surprised, and his surface was silent.

It turned out that the "Wang Gongzi" who smuggled through the transnational spirit ship back then, his real name was actually "Wang Feng", and he was a genius of the earth spirit root that the Fire Palace focused on cultivating.

Wang Feng's grandfather, "Elder Wang", is the top three powerful elders in the Fire Palace, and he was at the peak of cultivation in the later stage of the Jiedan.

Elder Wang's strength must be above Lu Chang'an's previous life.

Wang Feng and Song Wenshu met and were the object of the latter's friendship and attachment.

Shen Bixin married into the Lihuo Palace, and she also had a relationship with Wang Feng.

Just a few months ago, "Wang Gongzi", who had returned to the foundation building period, found Shen Bixin and asked for his help.

Wang Gongzi has two things to ask for:

First, with the help of the channel of the local chamber of commerce in Jingguo, he returned to the Liang Kingdom Lihuo Palace.

Second, he wanted to find a clever pharmacist to recuperate his body and repair the dark wounds that had fallen from his cultivation.

If he can help, Wang Gongzi will be grateful, and he will be able to get the favor of the later stage of the Zongmen's overhaul.

"The chamber of commerce of concubines has a shallow foundation in Jing State, barely gaining a foothold, and is ostracized by hostile forces. Wang Gongzi's two requests were powerless. ”

Shen Bixin said.

Lu Changan's eyes flashed slightly, and he saw Shen Bixin's selfishness.

Song Wenshu's background relationship is in the Lihuo Palace, and Shen Bixin gave birth to his heir.

If you can catch up with the relationship between Wang Gongzi and Elder Wang, it will definitely be beneficial to Shen Bixin's descendants.

It is true that the war situation is not good for the Lihuo Palace.

But a behemoth like a Yuanying-level sect, even if it was defeated and withdrew from the Liang Kingdom, its heritage inheritance was far beyond that of a sect like Jinyun Valley.

"Elder Wang, Wang Gongzi is such a big person, Lu is afraid that he will not be able to climb high......"

Lu Changan politely refused.

In this matter, Shen Bixin was just a middleman, and did not consume human affection.

Lu Changan has no shortage of spirit stones and exercises, and all the things for the knot are ready, so he has no heart to cling to the vein of Elder Wang and Wang Gongzi.

Wang Gongzi was once hunted down and killed by the Demon Sect forces, and there was a certain risk in this matter.

"Wang Gongzi said that if Master Lu Fu agrees to help, his reward will include a third-order high-grade spirit bamboo."

Shen Bixin added.

Hearing this, Lu Changan couldn't help but move.

The third-order high-grade spirit bamboo, when he was in the Dan stage in his previous life, it was not easy to get his hands on it.

At the largest auction in Liang Kingdom, Lu Changan once auctioned a third-order mid-grade spirit wood, but at that time, he was not sure that he was refining the talisman embryo of the third-order treasure talisman, and it is still preserved.

The third-order starting talisman, if it is used to cultivate, the power is immeasurable.

In addition, Lu Chang'an's exercises are wood-based, and with third-order high-grade spiritual bamboo as the main material, excellent wood-based magic weapons can be refined.

"If Master Lu Fu is interested, he will go to the Immortal Mansion Inn in Yunyan Immortal City within half a month...... At that time, Wang Gongzi will personally negotiate with you. ”

"Well, I'll think about it."

Lu Changan did not give a promise.

He had some doubts in his heart, how could Wang Gongzi, who he saw many years ago, be so down-and-out, and now he can come up with such a generous reward?

……

After talking about business, the atmosphere relaxed.

The two no longer transmit sounds, talking about the past of the year, and simply reminiscing about the past.

Once, the three peak masters of Wuqi Mountain, Lu Chang'an, Shi Xianzi, and Ye Fei, all had a good relationship with Shen Bixin and had cooperation contacts.

At that time, Shen Bixin was quiet and gentle, and generous, which even made Ye Fei of Xiao Danfeng move his heart.

"By the way, how is Jiang Daoyou doing?"

Lu Changan suddenly thought of Jiang Yechen, the man Shen Bixin really loved.

Jiang Yechen is carrying the treasure of the Soul Dao. Without his help and the memory of the restorer fairy, Lu Changan and the others would not have been able to get the important opportunity of the ancient ruins back then.

At least, the division fairy didn't become a third-order formation master so smoothly.

Jiang Yechen...... How can the concubine be qualified to see him again? ”

At the mention of this person, Shen Bi's heart was depressed, her delicate cheeks were no longer the same as before, and the wrinkles on her brows became more and more obvious.

Lu Changan heard the abnormality in his words.

Shen Bixin didn't say "I don't have the face to see him again", and her tone revealed regret and loss that could not be concealed.

"A few years ago, he had been promoted to Zhendan, but he refused the invitations of the major sects of the Liang Kingdom, and then traveled to other countries......"

"Jiang Yechen, promoted to True Dan?"

Lu Changan was moved, and couldn't help but look at Shen Bixin.

He simply brushed it off.

Back then, Shen Bixin gave up her true love Jiang Yechen and married Song Wenshu, who had a more promising background.

As a result, Song Wenshu died in battle, making Shen Bixin a survivor.

And Jiang Yechen, who was considered to have an extreme temperament and was not optimistic, actually formed a real pill!

More subtlely.

Jiang Yechen's promotion to Zhendan and the death of Song Wenshu, these two things...... It seems to have happened in those years.

Jiang Yechen is the first person in Lu Chang'an to confirm the news in this life and form a true pill.

Although the friendship between the two is very ordinary.

In addition, there is also a Zhang Tieshan, but there has been no news in these years.

The difficulty of the real pill is much higher than that of the fake pill.

In many immortal cities, the fake Dan real people can be seen from time to time, and the real Dan is difficult to touch.

……

Shen Bi was depressed and soon offered to leave.

Lu Changan knew that it was because of her scars.

But he really didn't mean to.

Who knew in advance that Shen Bixin's life in the past twenty years has been so tortuous.

"Shen Daoyou, take care."

Lu Changan saw Shen Bixin's emaciated figure, which was covered by loose robes and green yarn, and flew out of Autumn Wind Island.

Shen Bixin hid her identity to visit, because she was worried about Wang Gongzi's affairs and implicated Lu Changan.

According to her, Wang Gongzi faced a lot of hunting in the early years. Although the Shang Alliance is not openly wanted, there are some chamber of commerce forces that secretly cooperate with the Demon Sect's actions.

In recent years, the wind has loosened a lot, and the pursuit has dropped significantly.

Wang Gongzi recovered most of his cultivation, and only then did he win a chance to breathe.

Seven days later.

Lu Changan declared that he was in retreat, leaving a virtual aura of "Illusion Talisman" in the secret room.

With the help of the earth escape ability of the ground rock rat, he left the Xia clan in Qingshawan unknowingly.

If before the ground rock rat was promoted to the third order, Lu Changan would avoid negotiating with Wang Gongzi with his true identity.

After all, it involves the upper echelons of the Liang State Sect.

Now there are fewer worries.

Attracted by the third-order Shangpin Spirit Wood, he didn't mind meeting with Wang Gongzi.

……

Yunyan Immortal City, Xunxian Mansion Inn.

This is the place where Lu Changan and the down-and-out Wang Gongzi first met in Jingguo.

It's just that Wang Gongzi didn't know Lu Changan's identity at that time.

The formation prohibition of the Immortal Hunting Mansion can only hinder the divine sense exploration of the fake Dan real person at most.

This can't stop Lu Chang'an, who has the Nine Seals Tablet, and with the blessing of the soul imprint of his previous life, the True Dan-level divine sense quickly discovered the reality of the void.

"This Wang Gongzi has been hunted down for a long time, but he has learned to be cautious."

Lu Changan found that in a guest room where the Xunxian Mansion agreed to meet, there was also a phantom left by a phantom talisman.

The real Wang Gongzi, pretending to be a servant of the inn, was secretly keeping an eye on the guest room.

Lu Changan confirmed that there was no ambush around Xunxian Mansion.

The highest cultivator living in the inn is a fake Dan real person, who is playing in the water with a pair of twin female cultivators.

Lu Changan did not follow Wang Gongzi's rhythm.

He opened a first-class guest room in Xunxian Mansion, and then walked over in person and asked Wang Gongzi to come to his room to serve.

"Boy, come to the uncle's room and massage your back! If the service is good, the reward of spirit stones is indispensable. ”

Wang Gongzi's pretended servant was a little dazed, looking at the bearded strong man in front of him.

The servants and maids nearby couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, looking at Wang Gongzi, who had small arms and thin legs, and was pulled by a bearded strong man into the first-class guest room.

The superior rooms of Xunxian Mansion are detached houses.

In the hall, Lu Changan and Wang Gongzi stared wide-eyed.

"Guest, you are ......"

"That's right, I'm the one you're going to meet."

Lu Chang'an's figure changed and changed into his original appearance.

"No, Wang Feng, I've seen Master Lu Fu."

Wang Gongzi took off his turban and bowed his hand, his face blurred for a while, showing an angular and handsome man's face.

These are completely different images from the proud young man with oily hair and pink face on the spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce.

The other party definitely didn't show his true face at that time, and even his surname was fake.

Lu Changan didn't know what the real image of the original Wang Gongzi was.

However, after more than ten years of ups and downs, the temperament of normal people will change.

"Master Wang, Lu has something unclear, please advise."

Lu Changan took the initiative and took the lead in speaking, secretly observing Wang Gongzi's state.

"Lu Fu Master, excuse me."

Wang Feng's attitude was humble, and he did not have the slightest arrogance of leaving the true disciple of the Fire Palace, the grandson of the elder.

"I heard Shen Daoyou say, Wang Gongzi wants to return to the Liang Kingdom and leave the Fire Palace? Today's Liang State cultivates the immortal realm, and the battle situation is unfavorable, chaotic and dangerous. It's not a good choice. ”

Thinking about it from another perspective, Lu Changan is definitely unwilling to return to Liang State, unless there is something very important and has to do it.

Hearing this, Wang Feng smiled heartily:

"Master Lu Fu is right! Not long ago, Bucai changed his mind and decided not to return to Liang Kingdom! ”
