Chapter 327: Refining and Mastery
"Meet the boss!"
In the midst of the congratulations of the cultivators, the dazzling brilliance of the golden light disappeared and fell into the air.
Dressed in a robe coat, Zhang Tianfeng, who was majestic and calm, came to the front of the cultivators.
"Master Zhang, the task is difficult to ......"
Elder Miao and the others were stunned, caught off guard, and had a sense of absurdity.
Zhang, who had just been in retreat for a short time, actually broke through the barrier and admitted Lu Changan's nonsense.
"Elder Lu, after a hundred years, I have escaped to the land of the poor desert, and I have worked hard for you."
Zhang Tianfeng looked squarely at the white-clothed old man on the Xuanshui Turtle, his expression was solemn, and he bowed.
Only he knows what Lu Changan has done in the past hundred years.
Provide the key information of the ghosts in the Demon Dao, so that Jinyun Valley can avoid great losses.
Kill the black crow real person and pay tribute to the dead Zhao Siyao.
The promoter behind the arrest of the Peacock Saintess.
"It's not hard. Zhang's head runs the mountain gate and fights against the invasion of the Demon Dao, which is the hard work. ”
Lu Changan said in a relaxed tone and calmly.
He had a good time in Fengyuan Country, a hundred years, like a good holiday, so short.
With the endorsement of Zhang Tianfeng, the first cultivator of the sect, several real people present were collectively dumbfounded, and did not mention the matter of "land turtle running away".
After Zhang Tianfeng was promoted to the late stage of the Jiedan, the majesty of the Golden Cloud Valley surpassed that of the deceased Great Elder.
Zhang Zhang's family is famous on the battlefield and can be called the first monk of Liang State.
In addition to his personal strength, his business methods are also good. Jinyun Valley has experienced the chaos of the Demon Dao War, but it is still thriving, and its overall strength has reached a new high in hundreds of years.
Moreover, Zhang Tianfeng came from the Law Enforcement Hall, was fair and strict, rewarded and punished, and was highly respected by the cultivators of the sect.
"Elder Lu hasn't returned for a hundred years, Zhang will introduce you to the new real person in the sect."
Zhang Tianfeng and Lu Changan walked together without too many greetings.
The two talked and laughed, their words were simple, and there was no arrogance.
It seems that the aura of the identity of the immortal paw cultivator and the legendary real person has faded, and the time has gone back to two or three hundred years ago, ordinary monks, who have just emerged in the world of immortal cultivation, cooperate and take care of each other.
Looking at the relationship between Zhang Tianfeng and Lu Changan without estrangement, the real people present had complicated expressions, either envy or deep thought.
"I heard that Zhang Zhangmen and Lu Zhenren are immortal seedlings in the same introductory assessment, and they have known each other since they were teenagers, and they have gone through the old era of the Liang Kingdom, the Jinyang Northward Migration War, and the Devil's Invasion ......"
"It's unimaginable that one of the two of them has become the first cultivator of the sect, and the other has become a legendary real person in the scattered cultivation world."
"Alas, hundreds of years of friendship can't be compared. It is understandable that Zhang's head takes care of this person. ”
The real high-level people in the mountain gate, including Keqing, came out to pay their respects.
"Welcome Lu Zhenren to return!"
A certain fake Dan real person shouted, and many monks responded.
Rao is Lu Changan's cheekiness, and secretly said "outrageous".
Obviously, he has been running away for a hundred years, but because of the attitude of the head of the sect, he actually made him a hero of triumph.
"This is Zhu Yuting who has migrated from Hengguo, Zhu Daoyou."
Zhang Tieshan said with a smile on his face.
It was a graceful, beautiful and elegant purple gauze skirt female cultivator, who was cultivated in the early days of Zhendan.
"The name of Changqing Zhenren has been heard of by the concubine for a long time."
Zhu Yuting smiled skillfully, bowed, and looked at Lu Changan with a certain admiration and curiosity.
"It turned out to be Zhu Daoyou."
Lu Changan bowed his head and did not communicate too much.
This woman was a Hengguo female cultivator who was in Mochizuki Immortal City and married Dan with him.
However, Lu Changan used Nie Yuan's vest at that time.
When this woman first met, she had a bad impression of "Nie Yuan" when she saw death, and she was a little reserved and cold.
After Nie Yuan formed the Immortal Golden Pill, Zhu Yuting's attitude changed greatly, and with the help of her grandmother, she took the initiative to make friends with "Nie Yuan", and even took out the token she wore closely, so that Lu Changan would have time to go to Hengguo as a guest in the future.
Unexpectedly, after the defeat of Hengguo, Zhu Yuting moved to Liang State and became the guest elder of Jinyun Valley.
……
The top of the main peak in the center of the Golden Cloud Valley.
This is where the first cave of Jinyun Valley is located, and it is also the best place for the aura environment of the entire Jinyun Valley.
Lu Chang'an and Zhang Tianfeng stand on the top of the mountain, taking in the scenery of the mountain gate of Jinyun Valley, which stretches for hundreds of miles.
At this moment, the two immortal seedling teenagers in the past, after two or three hundred years of climbing, seemed to have trampled the high Immortal Cultivation Sect under their feet.
"The scale of the spiritual veins of Jinyun Valley is developing so fast. Zhang Daoyou, but there is a way to cultivate spiritual veins? ”
Lu Changan retracted his gaze and said with interest.
The spiritual veins of the same grade are also divided into scales.
For example, the third-order spiritual veins of Jinyun Valley have almost reached a super scale, which can accommodate more than a dozen True Pills to practice at the same time without any pressure.
"Zhang does have a way to speed up the cultivation of spiritual veins, but it requires a lot of precious resources."
Zhang Tieshan did not deny it.
In charge of a sect of cultivating immortals, killing enemies on the battlefield and making meritorious contributions, over the years, Zhang Tieshan has collected a lot of high-grade gold and iron ore.
The progress of the restoration of the Lingbao fragment has been greatly improved, and it has reached one-tenth of the completeness of the true Lingbao.
The machine spirit has a higher degree of recovery and brings a lot of useful experience and knowledge.
When he was in retreat, he felt a hint of threat and alerted him.
I didn't expect it to be Lu Chang'an's return.
His person concealed his cultivation, and was detected by the machine spirit, and it turned out to be the late stage of the Yudan. The specific quality, due to the obscurity of mana, and the absence of fighting methods, are still difficult to determine.
Zhang Tieshan thought about it, at least the upstream Zhendan, the same as himself, otherwise it would be difficult to be promoted to the later stage of the Yudan.
"How long does it take to cultivate a fourth-order spirit vein?"
Lu Changan's eyes flashed, and he faintly looked forward to the development of Jinyun Valley.
"It's hard! It takes a long time to break through to the fourth-order spirit vein, and the accumulated resources far exceed the cultivation of a Yuan Infant True Monarch. This is related to Daqing's heaven and earth luck and the distribution of the earth's leylines. ”
"Unless you can intercept a portion of the other fourth-order spirit veins, you can significantly speed up your progress."
Zhang Tianfeng's eyes were sharp, and he had nothing to hide in front of Lu Changan, including hidden ambitions.
Lu Changan smiled, the people who are waiting for the old order to be subverted are far more than himself.
Zhang Tianfeng is a spiritual root, even if his will is top, the opportunity is in his body, and he can have today's achievements, which is actually very conspicuous in the world of cultivating immortals.
However, his personality has become a climate, and as the helmsman of the sect, his influence is extraordinary, and there is a suspicion that there is a predecessor behind him.
The surrounding Yuanying Zhenjun, out of all kinds of scruples, even if he has a way to deal with him, it is already difficult to start.
Lu Changan speculated that Zhang Tieshan's Lingbao-related opportunities, even if he was secretly attacked by Yuan Ying, he also had the ability to protect himself.
His performance on the battlefield is mostly reserved.
"Lu Daoyou is coming back this time, how long do you plan to stay?"
Zhang Tianfeng was slightly looking forward to it.
If Jinyun Valley gets another Jiedan late stage overhaul, and it is the unfathomable Lu Chang'an, it is expected to become the second sect of the Liang Kingdom.
"It shouldn't be more than ten years."
Lu Changan sighed lightly.
"In such a hurry? Could it be that Lu Daoyou is not optimistic about the Demon Dao War at all. ”
Zhang Tianfeng was stunned, but he didn't expect that it had only been ten years, and he was faintly disappointed.
If he can get the help of Lu Chang'an, it is not an extravagant hope that Jin Yungu will become a Yuanying sect within a hundred years.
Lu Changan knew Zhang Tieshan's thoughts, but he was actually a little moved.
He didn't mind being in a reliable sect, cultivating to the peak of the Jiedan in one go, and even being promoted to a Yuan Infant in his own fourth-order spiritual vein.
The reason for this decision is related to the secret conversation of the Heavenly Master.
When leaving Fengyuan Kingdom, when the Heavenly Master saw him off, he calculated a hexagram for Lu Changan.
For this reason, Lu Changan also owed the old fox a promise.
Between the two, there is another agreement.
"It has nothing to do with it."
Lu Changan shook his head and didn't say why.
The Guardian Alliance has now been reduced to the territory of the Three Kingdoms, and there are more monks in each country, but in fact, the defensive pressure is relatively small, especially in dealing with the top combat power.
……
On the same day, Lu Changan settled in a main peak cave mansion in the hinterland of Jinyun Valley, enjoying a third-order high-grade spiritual vein environment.
This main peak is called Dainitchi Peak.
In the middle stage of cultivation, the efficiency of cultivating in the third-order spiritual vein will be higher, and Lu Changan is not worried about revealing his true cultivation.
As an elder of Keqing, enjoying such a "leapfrogging" treatment is also a special case in Jinyun Valley.
However, as the deepest old friend of Jinyun Valley's first cultivation, other real people did not dare to raise objections.
Early the next morning.
Lu Changan went to pay homage to Zhao Siyao's mausoleum.
The next few days.
Lu Changan entertained some real people's visits.
Clear-eyed people can see that with Lu Changan's strength and relationship, he is expected to become the number two person in Jinyun Valley.
Most real people are willing to have a good relationship with Lu Changan.
Zhu Yuting, who was also an elder of Keqing, also came over to sit for an hour and showed a certain interest in Lu Changan.
Zhu Yuting's cultivation and beauty, as the only Jurchen Dan guest, are quite popular in the Dan circle in the door.
However, Lu Changan did not give her any preferential treatment and treated her equally.
"Elder Lu, this is a token sent to Yunlai Peak in the past."
In the evening of this day, a steward of the sect in the later stage of the foundation building sent some items and letters to the cave.
Yunlai Peak is Lu Chang'an's cave in Jinyun Valley a hundred years ago.
Lu Changan checked those items and letters, most of them came from the deceased and younger generations from all over the Liang Kingdom.
Some are asking for help.
For example, Ye Fei of Wuqi Mountain, who tried to contact Lu Chang'an a few decades ago, was unsuccessful, and finally failed to die.
Among them are also Xia Wenyue's letters, the earliest of which came from Yijiazi.
Lu Changan casually took a look at it, recalling Xia Wenyue's intelligence in recent years.
Xia Wenyue's promotion to the middle stage of Yudan was many years ago.
This woman even showed her skills in the defensive battle of Fengguo, and had a record of killing the real people of the Demon Dao Jiedan.
Lu Changan was not surprised by this.
The advantage of the innate Dao body is not in the cultivation speed, but in the possession of certain talent traits, or the bonus of supernatural spells.
Xia Wenyue's "Ice Spirit Chalcedony" has a lot of bonuses in terms of ice spell powers, and its fighting strength is naturally stronger than most of the same level.
Theoretically, Lu Changan can go to Fengguo now and ask Xia Wenyue for Taiyin jade liquid.
"Wait a little longer......"
Lu Changan was ready to subdue the quasi-fourth-order puppet and then think about it.
After all, asking for Taiyin jade liquid is easy to attract envy.
As far as he knew, Xia Wenyue had a lot of suitors in Feng Country, all of whom were dragons and phoenixes among people.
Its master is the current Yuanying True Monarch of Aoyue Palace.
Lu Changan was worried that if he didn't operate it well, he would be chased by Yuanying Zhenjun.
Accumulate more strength, and then go to Fengguo more safely.
……
More than half a year later.
Zhao Tan'er returned from the Jingguo battlefield as a reinforcement.
Hearing the news of Lu Changan's return, Zhao Tan'er was pleasantly surprised.
However, she hid in the cave for several days, seemed to be sulking, and refused to see Lu Changan.
At the beginning, Lu Changan thought she had resentment in her heart.
If Lu Changan hadn't run away a hundred years ago and married Zhao Siyao, he might have been able to change that tragedy.
Until the early morning of the day.
Lu Changan came to Zhao Siyao's mausoleum and "coincidentally" met, Zhao Tan'er, who worshipped.
Zhao Tan'er is as green as a waterfall, her body is light, her eyes are bright, like two star tears, but at this time, the mist is hazy, and she looks at the mausoleum of her master in a daze.
"Uncle Lu......"
At first glance, when she saw Lu Changan behind her, the corners of her eyes were rosy and her nose was sore.
"Don't blame yourself."
Lu Changan's voice was gentle, patted her on the shoulder, and said comfortingly.
After inquiry, he learned that Zhao Tan'er had always felt guilty about the death of his master Zhao Siyao.
It's not that I'm angry with myself, but I'm ashamed to meet.
"Uncle Lu, it's all Tan'er's fault, taking the life-saving talisman you gave to your master......"
Zhao Tan'er had tears in her eyes and blamed herself.
Seeing the closest elders in the world, the emotions that have been accumulated for decades seem to have found an outlet.
She fluttered with green silk, the fragrance diffused, turned around and hugged Lu Changan, buried her head in the latter's arms, sobbed in a low voice, and poured out for a long time.
"Uncle Lu, your master, you won't blame you. Besides, your master, as a fake Dan real person, sees the end in this life, so it is better to look forward to the next life......"
Lu Changan estimated that even if there was no such thing as that year, Zhao Siyao would have died in a few years.
"Uncle Lu, do immortal cultivators really have a reincarnation?"
Zhao Tan'er wiped away her tears, raised her head, and her eyes were shining.
"Yes."
"So sure, don't you say you've seen it?"
"Yes."
Lu Chang'an's firm answer made Zhao Tan'er feel much more relaxed.
Although she knew that Uncle Lu was mostly enlightening and coaxing herself.
After a long time, Zhao Tan'er was emotionally stable, let go of the hands that hugged Lu Changan, and her pretty face was slightly glowing.
Thinking of the master's last words on his deathbed.
She stared at the young man in white in front of her, an elder who looked like half a master, and opened her mouth, not knowing how to speak.
In front of the tombstone, Lu Changan and Zhao Tan'er chatted for a long time until the evening.
"Lin Lu?"
During this period, Zhao Tan'er mentioned the deceased and younger generations who disappeared on the battlefield of Fengguo in the early years.
Lin Lu, the son of Lin Yi, the little marquis, was very filial to Lu Chang'an, and in the middle of the foundation building, he participated in the Zongmen's expedition to the Feng Kingdom.
I don't know what kind of twists and turns he went through, Lin Lu didn't die, he actually turned to the Demon Dao Exercises, promoted to the Fake Dan, settled in the Demon Dao camp, married a wife and had children.
"What else do you have to say to Uncle Lu?"
Before parting, Lu Changan saw that Zhao Tan'er had some thoughts.
"That's it."
Zhao Tan'er shook her head, her tone was brisk, and she changed the topic: "I haven't seen you for a hundred years, and it is also in the middle of the Yudan, Uncle Lu wants to accompany Tan'er to have a good discussion." ”
Once in Jinyun Valley, the warmest twenty or thirty years, Lu Changan fought with her, taught practical combat experience, and helped on the battlefield.
A few months later, Zhang Tianfeng and Zhao Tan'er went to the Demon Dao Battlefield one after another.
Zhang Tianfeng entrusted Lu Chang'an to sit in the sect, refine talismans, and rest assured that he would go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and earn military exploits.
Lu Changan gave Zhao Tan'er a third-order high-grade escape charm to protect her life, so that she should not be greedy for merit.
……
A year later.
Lu Changan returned to Jinyun Valley for two years and reached the age of 313.
The return of Changqing Zhenren caused a heated discussion in Liang State. However, in the context of the invasion of the Demon Dao, the major forces did not pay much attention.
On this day, the Great Day Peak Cave House.
Lu Changan, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and smiled faintly:
"Daoyou has finally woken up."
The storage ring on his finger flashed white, and a green-armored male puppet shaped like a zombie appeared on the ground.
In the group fight a few years ago, the quasi-fourth-order puppet suffered a lot of scars, but the shell was damaged, and Lu Changan repaired it.
"Junior, the old man's wounds, but you repaired them?"
The green armor man's eyes lit up with a dark green ghost fire, and the first time he woke up, he was unwell and said in an unkind tone.
"That's right, how about the craft?"
Lu Changan smiled lightly.
"Dog skin plaster, patch randomly!"
The man in green armor was greatly annoyed and was about to have a seizure, but he found that his body could not move, and the puppet spirit where the ghost consciousness was located came from a cold and strange dangerous aura.
The prohibition contained in it is beyond imagination, and life and death are all in the other party's thoughts.
"Your Excellency understands the current situation first, and then it is not too late to speak."
Hearing this, the Qingjia man calmed down, recalled his previous experience in the first battle, and regretted not being at the beginning.
After a long time, he said with difficulty: "Dao Yousheng captured the old man, what do you plan to do?" ”
"Hehe, it depends on whether the Taoist friend wants to survive, or whether he will be completely wiped out and lose the qualification for reincarnation."
Lu Changan's tone was understated, and he didn't care about the other party's life and death.
The Qingjia man's heart was awe-inspiring, and the price of turning into a ghost cultivator was that he could not be reincarnated.
The ghost form can last longer in the world, but it must withstand the erosion of the cloudy qi, which will distort the temperament, and may completely lose its nature and become a pure fierce ghost.
"The old man's consciousness and the puppet spirit are indistinguishable from each other, if the Taoist friend forcibly strangles it, it will cause the puppet spirit to collapse and damage the puppet center......"
The man in Qingjia pointed out the key points, which was also a situation that Lu Changan avoided.
At most, he repaired the shell of the quasi-fourth-order puppet, and the central core was powerless.
Puppets at this level need to refine the puppet spirit core in order to control and exert their strength.
It takes a long time to re-cultivate the puppet spirit, and it is extremely troublesome.
The power of the divine soul in the previous life is not equal to the puppet spirit, it is the same blank paper, whether it can be transformed into a puppet, and how to implement it are unknown.
"Hehe, since Daoyou has declared the key points and bargained, then you choose to live."
Lu Changan teased.
This remark stimulated the Qingjia man, and he said angrily:
"The old man is not a good man! He did not hesitate to turn into a ghost, just to become a real fourth-order puppet and avenge the blood sea......"
Lu Changan was secretly funny, this person was transformed into a ghost, emotionally unstable, and if he was slightly teased, he was easy to lose his mind and be tricked out.
There is no conflict of interest between the two sides, but they both need fourth-order puppets.
After understanding the other party's bottom line, in the subsequent negotiations, Lu Changan took the initiative.
The Qingjia man's surname was Wei before his death, and he was a puppet genius of the Thousand Machine Sect, who used his peak cultivation to create a fourth-order puppet with the peak cultivation of the Jiedan, and spent his life creating a fourth-order puppet, but was "funded" by the same family to pick peaches, and also plundered and killed his wife and daughter.
Half an hour later, the two sides reached an agreement and made an oath of demons.
Wei Puppet Master promised to fully assist Lu Changan in building a real fourth-order puppet and teach him a lifelong puppet master's skills.
The puppet inheritance and experience possessed by Wei Puppet Master far surpassed the two jade slips he had traded before.
Lu Changan promised that in the future, this puppet would be promoted to the True Fourth Order, allowing his people to take revenge and provide corresponding assistance.
Subsequently, Wei puppet master took the initiative to cooperate with Lu Chang'an, refining and controlling this quasi-fourth-order puppet and erasing the remaining marks from before.
……
Finally, Lu Changan became the master of this quasi-fourth-order puppet.
He placed a phantom array ban in the cave, tested it several times, and was satisfied.
Due to the consciousness of the puppet spirit, he was a fourth-order puppet master before his death, and he did not need Lu Chang'an to deliberately manipulate it, so he could exert his powerful strength.
The material of the Qingjia puppet is not much different from the real Yuanying-level quality.
On the contrary, it is a puppet spirit, which is quite different from a fourth-order puppet, and it is not enough to exert the full power of the puppet.
If this can be compensated, the combat power of the blue-armored puppet will not be weaker than the fourth-order beast king of the Beastmaster Valley.
The frontal destructive power may not be as good, but it is more flexible and intelligent, and the means of warfare are more abundant.
Lu Changan thought about it, and let the soul brand of the peak of the second Jiedan descend, called it "Soul Puppet Technique", and tried to fuse it into the puppet spirit of the Qingjia puppet.
Wei Puppet Master cooperated with suspicion, and the result went unexpectedly smoothly.
"Such a pure spirit! Well? This volatility is ......"
Wei Puppet Master's consciousness, controlling the puppet spirit, successfully accepted the power of the second life divine soul that descended.
In an instant, the power of the puppet spirit skyrocketed, and the control of the puppet and the magic power were exerted, raising a small level.
Lu Chang'an was overjoyed, it was equivalent to a portable fourth-order beast king, the same configuration as the Peacock Holy Maiden back then.
