Chapter 281: Divination and Calculation
Seven days later.
Yunlaifeng Cave Mansion, alchemy room.
The lid of the furnace opened, the glow rose, and three black glowing elixirs floated out and flew into Lu Changan's hands.
"Third-order elixir, oolong pill."
Lu Changan looked at the quality of the elixir, all of which were seven lines, with crystal color and full particles.
Oolong Pill, which can solve most of the poisons in the world, is the third-order pill that the people of Lihuo are best at refining.
"In the past hundred years, I couldn't ask for it, but today's third-order alchemist can get it at your fingertips."
Lu Changan chuckled brightly, in a good mood.
In this life, he tried to cultivate Dan at the same time, but unfortunately his talent was poor, and he was only a second-order lower grade for hundreds of years, and he was not promoted to a second-order middle grade.
In the past few decades, he had almost given up alchemy, just refining some pills that he needed daily.
At this moment, becoming a third-order Dan Master can be regarded as fulfilling his long-cherished wish.
In contrast, divination and refining tools were of greater help to Lu Changan.
Divination, prediction of bad luck, is conducive to steady operation.
The refining weapon is the highest attainment of cultivating immortals in the previous life of the Fire Master, and he has become a third-order high-grade refiner.
Now, these all belong to Lu Chang'an.
In the future, refining weapons, his own natal magic weapon, does not have to fake his hands to others.
At the same time, refining artifacts can help with golem crafting.
The puppet's weapons and armor can be refined by themselves to reach the real magic weapon level, not the castrated version, and only have material strength and characteristics.
"The previous investment in the League of Seven is really worth it!"
Lu Changan put away the pill, and his mood was still a little agitated at this time.
The ability of the Nine Seals Tablet to transform the reincarnation of a lifetime is different from simply obtaining the lifelong memory of a primordial infant and old monster.
If it's the latter, you have to learn every skill from scratch, at most you have a lot of experience, and you don't have to take a few detours.
Just like the earth before Lu Chang'an traveled, the Internet is open to massive knowledge.
But if you want to learn the top in any field and exhaust the energy of ordinary people's lives, you may not be able to do it.
The Man from the Fire is located in the fourth position of the Nine Seal Monument, behind Lu Chang'an III.
Compared with the reincarnation of the previous life, it is actually easier to understand the reincarnation of the fourth life.
A few days ago, Lu Changan summed up the experience of the fourth life and found that it was too smooth to be hundreds of years before the Fire Master!
The qualification of the Heavenly Spirit Root, from Qi refining to Dan, is unimpeded and there are almost no bottlenecks.
Lack of bumps and grind.
This led to his lack of potential after he was promoted to Yuanying.
Of course, this may not be the main reason.
The environment of heaven and earth in the eastern region of Daqing is also an important influencing factor.
After being promoted to Yuanying, the people from the fire stick to the basics and lack of pioneering spirit.
Bound to Liang Guoli Fire Palace, limiting his future path.
This truth must be understood by the people on the fire.
But since he was a teenager, he has grown up from the Fire Palace, and his painstaking efforts and emotions for hundreds of years, disciples, and Taoist heirs are all closely related to this place.
Don't go outside and explore.
First, there are risks and it is difficult to get out of your comfort zone.
Second, as soon as he leaves, the Fire Palace will inevitably decline, and may even perish.
……
"Fortunately, I don't marry a wife and have children in this life, and I am not completely bound to any immortal cultivation forces, so I don't have so many worries."
Lu Changan found that what he lacked from the people on the fire was exactly the advantages he had.
However, the top qualifications and cultivation speed of the people who left the fire were also lacking in Lu Changan.
In the world of cultivating immortals, there are not so many perfect.
As strong as Yuanying Zhenjun, it also has its own limitations, and may be inferior to ordinary monks in some aspects.
Standing on the shoulders of the giants of the fourth generation, Lu Changan has a clearer plan for the future path of cultivating immortals:
Before Yuanying, he could still mix in the Daqing Eastern Region.
After Yuan Ying, if you want to seek a higher level, you must go to a broader stage.
Especially for a monk like Lu Changan, who was born in a casual cultivation, this is especially the case.
The fourth-order spiritual veins and the number of heaven and earth fortunes all restricted this cultivation realm, making it difficult for monks to break through the upper limit.
In the memory of the fourth life, Lu Changan also had a clearer understanding of the boundaries of the Tianheng Continent.
The big kun where he was in his previous life was called Kunzhou.
Daqing, where it is located at this time, is called Qingzhou.
Similar rumors were heard by Lu Changan in his previous life.
The two boundaries of Kunzhou and Qingzhou belong to the middle state boundaries of the Tianheng Continent.
In such a realm, it is impossible for the native to give birth to the Transformation God Stage, because there is no fifth-order spirit vein at all.
can be born in the late Yuan Infant period, they are all people of great luck.
The map of the Tianyan Continent mastered by the Fourth Emperor was relatively general and not detailed enough, and it only marked the locations of some large states with a long heritage.
The legendary Zhongzhou is located in the central hinterland of the Tianheng Continent.
Fenghuazhou, where the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty is located, is located in the eastern center of the mainland.
Qingzhou is also located in the east of Tianheng, separated from Fenghuazhou by two large state boundaries.
On the map, it seems to be relatively close, but in fact the road is extremely long.
The location of Da Kun in the previous life is not marked.
But Lu Changan believes that it should not be difficult to find the position in his previous life when he is promoted to Yuanying in the future.
In the memory of the fourth life, there is still a lot of information that is useful to Lu Changan.
For example, Feng Yuanguo.
Lu Changan learned that before the war of Jinyang's northward migration, the Lihuo Shangren sent some of his bloodline heirs to Fengyuan Kingdom.
Why choose Feng Yuanguo?
In the perception of the people who left the fire, the environment of the Feng Yuan Kingdom was harsh, and although it was not suitable for the development of cultivation, it was a place where life could be saved at the moment of the invasion of the Demon Dao.
Feng Yuan Country is not only blocked by a heavenly moat, but also the territory is very barren, and most of the six sects of the Demon Dao look down on it.
Leaving some of the offspring there will ensure the continuation of the bloodline.
Of course, there are still some excellent disciples of the people who are from the fire, and they have migrated to the Seven Nations Alliance with the Lihuo Palace.
The G-7 is more prosperous and has greater development prospects than the Guardian Alliance.
Whether it is to be enterprising or to save their lives, the people on the fire have made corresponding arrangements.
In addition, the people on the fire also arranged hidden materials for future generations.
Lu Changan has no covetous thoughts.
After all, he is equivalent to experiencing the life of a man from the fire.
Although under the effect of the Nine Seal Monument, it does not affect the original heart, but only has an additional lifetime of experience and understanding, but it is somewhat in love with the house and Wu.
If the Nine Seal Tablet did not have such ability, after several lifetimes of reincarnation, Lu Changan would have already had a split personality, how could he maintain his original intention.
"If the Six Sects of the Demon Dao threaten the Liang Kingdom, the Feng Yuan Kingdom can be used as a good place to hibernate."
Lu Changan plans to arrange the back road to Fengyuan Country as well.
After all, the primordial old monsters of the fourth generation sent their bloodline descendants there to save their lives.
As for the poor environment and poor resources of Fengyuan Country, Lu Changan didn't care.
Over the years, he has accumulated a rich net worth, which is enough to support his cultivation needs for many years.
……
Two days later, Lu Changan was trying the art of refining weapons.
Suddenly, his mind moved, and he took out the Elder Token from the storage bag.
The token glowed white, and a message came.
"Tianfeng Zhenren, returning from a serious injury?"
Lu Changan groaned and stopped what he was doing.
In the Demon Dao Invasion War, Zhang Tieshan made great contributions to Jinyun Valley.
For more than ten years, in the early stage of killing the two True Pills of the Demon Dao, six or seven real people of the Fake Dan were killed, and the same number of demon beasts were killed.
This is not counting the real people of the Demon Dao who resisted or repelled in the war.
Compared with some biographies, they did not kill the enemy beyond the level, and the most they killed were of the same level, which sounds nothing great.
However, the cultivators of the same level of the Demon Dao are overall stronger than the Guardian Dao Alliance.
Therefore, being able to invade the battlefield in the Demon Dao and kill a real person of the same level is a rare achievement.
The greater the credit Zhang Tieshan made, the less pressure Jin Yungu would have, and the number of new monks sent to the front line every year could be relatively small.
This kind of regulation of the Weidao League is to increase the enthusiasm of high-ranking monks in the major forces to kill the enemy.
In addition, the military exploits made can be exchanged for a lot of scarce resources in the Guardian Alliance.
Half an hour later.
A team of wounded monks from Jinyun Valley returned to the mountain gate.
Zhang Tieshan is one of the team leaders.
Inside the Patriarch's Hall.
Lu Changan saw the injured Zhang Tieshan for the first time.
Zhang Tieshan's face was pale, his breath was weak, and one leg was broken, fixed and nourished by spiritual rattan.
"Elder Lu, how is Elder Tianfeng's injury?"
Sect Master Jin Yun was watching from the side, his face showing concern.
Although Zhang Tieshan is in the early stage of the Yudan, his fighting strength is comparable to that of a monk in the middle of the Yudan.
"The injury is a bit serious, and it needs to be recuperated in time, otherwise it may damage Daoji."
After Lu Changan took the pulse, his heart was strange.
It's not Zhang Tieshan's injury.
The injury was indeed serious, with more than a dozen broken bones on his body, and his viscera was seriously damaged, leaving a lot of dark wounds, affecting the dantian.
Lu Changan's strange appearance came from Zhang Tieshan's body, a vague and strange magic weapon aura.
If it was the past, Lu Changan couldn't see the problem.
But he is now the vision of the old monster, and he is a close pulse, and he has seen the clues.
As a third-order high-grade refiner, Lu Changan felt that the magic weapon aura was very unique, containing a certain spirituality, which was beyond the ordinary magic weapon.
It is Lu Changan's nail-headed arrow, and even the best magic weapon of the people on the fire can't be compared.
"Could it be an imitation of the spirit treasure, or the fragment of the spirit treasure?"
Lu Changan's current cognition has some speculation.
If it is a real spiritual treasure, deliberately restrained, Lu Changan's sensory state at the moment is difficult to detect.
"Elder Lu, can you heal Zhang's injury as soon as possible without leaving sequelae. In addition to the contribution of the sect, there is another reward afterwards. ”
Zhang Tieshan's voice was hoarse and he bowed.
Lu Chang'an has good medical skills and is good at warm care.
Jin Yungu once proposed that for the high-level who came back from the battlefield to heal their wounds, they would contribute a certain number of sects to Lu Changan.
Only those high-level officials who are seriously injured will Lu Changan make a move, and he will not consume Shouyuan.
Lu Changan used the contribution he received to exchange for the resources he needed, or issued a sect mission and asked the monks of Jinyun Valley to run errands for him.
"At least three months. Every seven days, Lu went to Elder Zhang's mansion for treatment. In addition, the following medicinal materials are required......"
Lu Changan pondered for a moment and gave a treatment plan.
In fact, he can be cured in less than half the time.
Three months is a reasonable range for a third-order famous doctor.
"Then I'll bother Elder Lu. After the matter was completed, Zhang refined Lu Zhenren's magic weapon for free. ”
Zhang Tieshan had a smile on his face.
Back then, he did his best to refine nail-headed arrows for Lu Chang'an, but the Lingbao fragments did not do his best.
Over the years, Zhang Tieshan's refining skills have improved, and if he refines it again, he can upgrade the nail-headed arrow to a high-grade magic weapon.
"No need, Lu has a hard time controlling the medium-grade magic weapon. The refinement of the magic weapon will be left for the future. ”
Lu Changan refused with a smile.
"If Zhang Daoyou doesn't want to go, he can compensate with third-order materials at that time."
"Then it depends on Lu Daoyou's opinion."
Zhang Tieshan agreed, but he felt a little strange in his heart.
With Lu Changan's temperament, he can't wait to elevate the natal magic weapon to the extreme and increase the means of protecting the way.
……
The parties reached an agreement.
Lu Changan went to Zhang Tieshan's cave house that day to heal his wounds once.
When the treatment is over, Lu Changan will receive a generous contribution from the sect, as well as a third-order treasure material provided by Zhang Tieshan as a thank you.
After Lu Changan left, Zhang Tieshan's face was hesitant.
"Senior Machine, Lu Changan healed my wounds, will you see your existence?"
"Don't worry, if he was the reincarnation of Yan Donglai, he was so familiar with you, and he would have seen it for many years of close contact."
The machine spirit is old-fashioned, but the milky voice comes.
"After the observation and analysis of this instrumental spirit, this person's style of acting is very different from Yan Donglai. If it was just an ordinary genius who cultivated the Evergreen Gong, he would not have such perception and vision. ”
"That's fine. It doesn't hurt for him to see my cultivation progress, as well as the quasi-third-order body refining. ”
Zhang Tieshan put his mind down and stopped being entangled.
This time, I asked Lu Changan to heal my injuries, because the injuries were really serious, and I was worried that it would affect the foundation.
More than half of his cultivation was in the early stage of Yudan, which was the stage of making military exploits and competing for precious resources.
As long as he is promoted to the middle stage of the Jiedan, Zhang Tieshan's self-protection ability has greatly increased on the battlefield, and it is difficult for a monk to threaten his life.
Due to his outstanding performance on the battlefield, Zhang Tieshan has been targeted by high-ranking monks in the Valley of the Beastmaster in recent years.
This time he was injured, he was targeted by a bird in the late third order, and his speed was far inferior, and he almost lost his life.
Fortunately, the Great Elder intervened in time to rescue him.
Otherwise, he would have to expose the fragments of the spirit treasure on the battlefield in order to save his life.
Yunlaifeng Cave House.
"Zhang Tieshan's fate is really not small, this kind of cultivation progress, at least the upstream true pill has been formed, for the lower grade spirit root, it is rare to see it for hundreds of years."
Thanks to Yuanying Zhenjun's vision, this treatment, Lu Changan saw that Zhang Tieshan had a lot of details.
Lu Changan speculated that within 20 years, Zhang Tieshan is expected to be promoted to the middle stage of Yudan.
The lower grade spiritual root, in refining qi and building a foundation, is indeed very lagging behind.
Before the early days of foundation building.
Zhang Tieshan's cultivation speed was obviously inferior to Zhao Siyao, and he began to surpass in the later stage of foundation building.
However, at the level of the knot, the proportion of the influence of the spiritual root has decreased, and the quality of the dan is also an important factor.
The quality of Cheng Dan is too poor, such as Fu Xuemei, even if it is an earth spirit root, it will become mediocre in the Dan period.
Zhang Tieshan became a true pill about eighteen years earlier than Lu Changan, and there was no time limit for evergreen skills.
With the organic fate in his body and the fighting method strong, he may go more smoothly in the Dan period than when refining qi and building a foundation.
……
In a blink of an eye, three years have passed.
Zhang Tieshan, who had recovered from his injuries, went to the front line two years ago.
On the contrary, it was the Zhao family's master and apprentice, who returned to Jinyun Valley together.
On this day, Lu Changan, who had reached the age of 195, completed his routine cultivation and cultivation.
In three years, the purple-robed Taoist phantom of the fourth generation of the Nine Seal Monument lit up a small number of areas.
Lu Changan speculated that a total of twenty years could light up the fourth Yuanying Zhenjun.
Before there is no fourth-order treasure talisman, this will be Lu Changan's strongest hole card.
"Uncle Lu! Here we go again. ”
After noon, Zhao Tan'er's crisp and pleasant voice came from outside Yunlai Peak.
"Come in."
The corners of Lu Changan's lips turned up slightly, and he got up and walked out of the cave.
Outside the cave, there is an artificial pool.
Lu Changan, Zhao Siyao, and Zhao Tan'er sat in the pavilion by the pool.
During the war, it was rare for the Zhao family to be at the Jinyun Valley Mountain Gate at the same time.
Zhao Tan'er knew that Lu Changan was often free in the afternoon, and he came over from time to time in the past two months.
At the top of Yunlai Peak, the three of them sometimes drank tea, played chess, and sang about wine.
When he was lucky, Lu Changan could still hear Zhao Siyao playing the piano, Zhao Tan'er dancing, and the two Jurchens singing and dancing.
Fake Dan monk, enjoying more than 300 years of life, Zhao Siyao has a hobby in his spare time, and likes to play the lyre.
Over the past few decades, Zhao Siyao's piano skills have entered the room, and the sound of the piano has become more and more ethereal and quiet.
Every time he listened to Zhao Siyao's piano sound, Lu Changan faintly felt her heart.
There is not much joy, and there is not much regret or sorrow.
Every time I play in front of Lu Changan, in the empty piano sound, there is sometimes a hint of agility and lightness, or a kind of plain warmth of mountains and flowing water.
Lu Changan likes this kind of leisure.
Zhao Siyao is dignified and decent, tacit confidant, Zhao Tan'er is playful and light, and occasionally messes around.
Getting along with Zhao's master and apprentice, Lu Changan is carefree, and sometimes, there is a feeling of a family of three.
The eye contact between the two may have a knowing smile, but there is no real ambiguity between men and women.
There is no need to break that boundary, Lu Changan and Zhao Siyao get along, and they are naturally comfortable and tacit.
Even Zhao Siyao is already thirty-four or five years old, and she is no longer the red face of the past.
She didn't have to be as sad and sad as Mu Xiuyun back then, and in the end she didn't dare to face the young man.
If you don't take that step, it's the most perfect relationship.
Lu Changan had a group of wives and concubines in his previous life, and he understood the truth that life is only as it was first seen.
If he and Zhao Siyao break that boundary, they may not have the harmony and happiness of the existing relationship.
"Uncle Lu, have you listened carefully?"
Zhao Tan'er wrinkled her nose and gently knocked the teacup.
"This is Tan'er's experience in defeating a True Dan Demon Cultivator on the battlefield, you don't have experience in fighting at the same level, you have to understand it seriously."
"I've heard it a few times, and Uncle Ling Lu is almost enlightened."
Lu Changan and Zhao Siyao looked at each other and smiled.
After all these years of training, Zhao Tan'er has been injured on the battlefield and killed the enemy, and his fighting ability is already good.
Maybe it's that pure heart, Zhao Tan'er has a good understanding and grows quickly.
As for what she said about defeating the True Dan Demon Cultivator.
At that time, it was the other party who underestimated the enemy, and she used her tricks to cooperate with the puppet of the third order, and was seriously injured and fled.
"Tan'er, when you can defeat Uncle Lu head-on, you will have the qualifications to teach him."
Zhao Siyao knows more about Lu Chang'an and knows that his true strength is by no means as simple as it seems.
"Hey! Tired Tan'er, he couldn't beat the turtle shell. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Tan'er's face collapsed.
Whenever she was full of confidence and her magical skills improved, she couldn't help the latter when she asked Lu Changan to learn from her.
If it lasts, she will definitely not be able to resist.
After Zhao Tan'er's publicity, the name of Gui Zhenren was certified in Jinyun Valley.
Lu Chang never refused to learn, in order to sharpen her.
"Chang'an, I recently heard that you are wanted by the black market bounty."
Zhao Siyao asked with concern.
Lu Changan said indifferently: "The thunder is heavy and the rain is small, as long as I don't leave Jinyun Valley easily, Chen Guo Xie can help me." ”
It turned out that Chen Guoxie's wanted bounty in his home country had no effect, so he stepped up his efforts and was wanted in the black market of the immortal cultivation world in various countries.
Zhao Siyao's attention was drawn by the battlefield, which belonged to the delay of news.
"Uncle Lu, I heard that Uncle Erqing is dying, and his longevity is approaching. Tan'er wanted to visit his old man's home. ”
Zhao Tan'er proposed.
"Li Congren's letter mentioned that Li Erqing did not allow his descendants to compete for the second-order longevity pill to avoid wasting financial resources and establishing enemies."
Lu Changan sighed.
In the more than twenty years since he returned to Liang, he rarely went out, and only went to Feiyue Lake twice.
On the contrary, it was the white-haired Li Erqing who came to Jinyun Valley to visit him a few times.
In the past few years, Li Erqing's health has deteriorated and he has not come again.
Thinking of this, Lu Changan pinched his fingers and calculated.
"Uncle Lu, do you know the art of divination?"
Zhao Tan'er's eyes turned, as if she was interested.
A few breaths later.
Lu Changan finished calculating and said in a deep voice:
"Li Erqing, there is about a year to live, and now he is sick in bed."
