Chapter 368: The Last Ten Years
“…… As long as the senior sister can do her best, she can allow you! ”
Lu Changan felt that there seemed to be some kind of subtle hint in his words.
He glanced at Zixia Zhenjun, his demeanor was reserved and dignified, and he was still the unattainable and graceful Elder Taishang.
Lu Changan didn't want to think about it too much, and followed his heart:
"The junior brother is not short of money now, and there is no shortage of means to protect the way, but the things for the baby have not yet been gathered. If the sect has relevant reserves, I hope Senior Sister Jiang will be successful. ”
Hearing this, Zixia Zhenjun looked directly into Lu Changan's eyes and felt his firm Dao heart.
While admiring it, she sighed in her heart, and a trace of indescribable disappointment and frustration emerged.
Just now, her subtle attraction and expression should be noticeable to those who are attentive.
If Elder Xiang has admiration for her, or has "thoughts of non-separation", he should at least hesitate.
However, Elder Xiang did not hesitate at all, and directly wanted to cash in the resources for the baby.
"How is Senior Brother Xiang's preparations for getting married, and what kind of baby materials are needed at the moment?"
Zixia Zhenjun's face was calm, but he obeyed his reputation.
"The main thing that lacks advanced things, the main medicine of the Infant Pill. There are spare baby spirit objects and heart robbery protectors, but they are not superior, and they are barely okay. ”
Lu Changan's description is concealed.
The knot baby spirit thing he owned, [Meridian Breeze], belonged to the best and was obtained from the Tianluo Ancestor.
Heart robbery protection, the [Shangqing Dan] that was exchanged for the ground rock rat in the name of the year, was saved as a backup.
The adjuvant medicine of the Infant Pill has been collected over the years, either openly or covertly, and the sect has exchanged it, and most of it has been gathered.
The three main drugs of Huaying Pill are monopolized by the Yuanying forces, and Lu Changan does not have them for the time being.
Strictly speaking, Lu Changan has an unfulfilled [Heavenly Infant Fruit], which is the first of the three main medicines.
Before leaving Daqing and the Seven Nations Alliance, Lu Changan told Wang Feng, the helmsman of the Xinli Fire Palace, the whereabouts of the secret treasure house of the Tianluo Sect, including the clues of the [Heavenly Infant Fruit].
At that time, Lu Changan was inductively tracked by "Aoki Zhenjun", and the [Heavenly Infant Fruit] still needed at least a hundred years to mature, and it was too late to plan.
Therefore, he sold Wang Feng a favor, gave the blood bead tracking thing, and asked him to do it for him, and "keep" this [Heavenly Infant Fruit] for himself first.
After coming to the Great Abyss, Lu Chang'an divined the hexagram, because the Tianluo Ancestor died, the difficulty was small, and the [Heavenly Infant Fruit] was most likely obtained by Wang Feng from the Fire Palace.
Zixia Zhenjun muttered: "In the secret vault of this sect, there is a mature baby main medicine [Moonfall Flower], which allows you to exchange it with the sect's contributions. ”
Lu Changan was overjoyed, this award was full of sincerity, not perfunctory.
The so-called "private collection of the inner treasury", which is different from the treasure house of the sect, should be the treasure reserve of the sect that is privately controlled by the Zixia Fairy and is not open to the public.
"Dare to ask Senior Sister, how much contribution does this [Moonfall Flower] need to be exchanged."
Lu Changan asked.
"According to the ancestral teachings of the sect, the core resources for the promotion of Yuanying are only eligible to be exchanged for the true lineage of this sect. Therefore, you have to pay the 80,000 contribution of [Moonfall Flower] in full, without discount, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public. ”
Fairy Zixia's exception at this moment can be regarded as a decision that violates the ancestral teachings.
If Yunlan Zhenjun is here, he will definitely resolutely oppose it.
"Eighty thousand contributions? The junior brother will do his best to make it up. ”
Lu Changan accepted it when he saw it.
The threshold of 80,000 contributions is indeed high, but he is not short of money, and it is not difficult to obtain contributions.
This time, guarding the mine and killing the enemy for meritorious service, there are rewards for the contribution of the sect.
The rest of the contribution can be deducted with the puppet.
It is not necessary to use high-quality puppets, eliminated third-order puppets, or use leftovers to refine new puppets, it is nothing more than a matter of time.
……
Zixia Zhenjun stayed in the mine for less than half an hour, and then set off to return to Yunxia Sect.
Lu Changan continued to guard the Tengling Mine, intending to stay here for a few more years.
Guarding the mines, with annual contributions and ores, and easy access to golem materials.
When the puppet army formation is successfully constructed and the 80,000 contributions are gathered, Lu Changan will return to the Yunxia Sect at that time.
Half a year later, Lu Changan turned 362 years old.
In the past year, his reputation for fighting in the mines has spread throughout Daewoo Kingdom.
Some monks privately discussed that Elder Xiang was the first monk of Daewoo Kingdom.
There are a lot of overhauls in Daewoo Kingdom, and in this era, who is the first person to be the first person to be knotted is inconclusive.
The main thing is that there is no unique gear.
The last recognized monk of the first Jiedan was the "Tianyuan Sword Monarch" before he was promoted to Yuanying, that is, Yu Yuanjin of the royal family.
Lu Changan was not interested in such a false name, and faintly realized that this kind of remark was fueled by someone behind it.
Fortunately, for the time being, no one has come to challenge him for the sake of such a false name.
The overhaul in the later period of Jiedan is at least two or three hundred years old. In order to promote Yuanying, compete and plan, and work hard, how can there be so much leisure?
Unless driven by profit, a high-ranking monk would not do such a superficial and childish thing.
When Lu Chang'an became famous, there was bad news from the Yunxia Sect.
The old enemy of the Yunxia Sect, "Great Snake Mountain", was celebrated by the whole sect and ushered in a great news.
Big Snake Mountain, a new Yuan Infant True Monarch is born!
"Red refining true monarch, good at refining poison, dealing with poison all year round. Before he was promoted to Yuanying, he was the first poison master of Great Snake Mountain. ”
Lu Changan soon learned the information of the new Yuan Ying of the Great Snake Mountain.
For hundreds of years, the Great Snake Mountain has not given birth to a new Yuanying monk, and from the perspective of the time span, it can be regarded as a normal succession.
What is more surprising to the outside world is that the promoter will be the "Red Refining True Monarch", and the previous Dao number Red Refining True Person.
Because, among several competitors, this person is not the best qualified, and he is older.
The age at which the Red Refining True Monarch was promoted to Yuan Ying is said to be 377 years old.
The average age of the promoters of the Yuanying faction is about three hundred years old.
Some Heavenly Spirit Roots, coupled with the resources of the sect, were even promoted to Yuanying at the age of two hundred or so.
The age of three hundred years old can be regarded as the heyday of the real people, just like the prime of mortals.
After all, immortal cultivators are not true immortals who live together with heaven and earth, and the natural laws of birth, old age, sickness and death cannot be completely eliminated by mortal beings.
After the age of 350, the chances of getting a baby will drop significantly.
After the age of 400, there is little hope.
The outside world speculates that the fact that the Red Snake True Monarch can be promoted to the Yuan Infant may be related to the opportunity harvest of the Red Snake True Monarch in the Ancient Secluded Palace.
The last time the ancient secluded hall was opened, it was extraordinary, there were more opportunities, and even a spiritual treasure appeared.
The Yuanying monks who survived the battle game had some opportunities.
Heaven and earth spirits are strange, perhaps the harvest of the Red Snake True Monarch is more in line with the poison refining exercises, so the Red Snake True Monarch was chosen at that time.
There is another way of saying it: Red Refining True Monarch is talented in refining poison, and he has made great achievements in the past, concocting a fourth-order poison, so he has received preferential treatment from resources.
"It's a bit interesting, the age of the Red Snake True Monarch is close to the expected age of the real person."
Lu Changan was also surprised.
After all, this person is not a health preservation skill that is cultivated, but a poisonous skill that is easy to lose life.
In addition, Lu Changan didn't have any feelings about the new Yuan Ying of Big Snake Mountain.
Zixia Zhenjun will definitely have a headache and feel pressure.
The Red Snake True Monarch of Big Snake Mountain, as a veteran Yuanying, is stronger than her.
The Red Snake King of the sect has survived for a longer time, and it is rumored that his strength is stronger than that of the Red Snake True Monarch.
Now there is another new Yuan Infant who is good at refining poison.
From this juncture, the strength of the sect of the Great Snake Mountain has fully caught up with and surpassed the Yunxia Sect.
……
In a blink of an eye, Lu Changan guarded the mine for another five years.
Since defeating the invaders of the Ye family, the operation of the Tengling mine has no need to be guarded by the Jiedan overhaul.
The sect needs to pay more money, which is a waste.
But Lu Changan didn't leave, and Yunxia Sect couldn't mobilize him.
Fortunately, at the age of 368, Lu Changan finally built the planned puppet army formation completely.
The puppet army formation consists of four third-order high-grade puppets and twelve third-order middle-grade puppets.
A total of sixteen puppets formed a military formation, and the puppet power was fused into a formation, and the positional warfare could resist the initial attack of the Yuan Infant.
Of course, the limitations of the puppet army formation are only suitable for positional warfare, or defensive counterattacks, and lack the mobility of Yuanying Zhenjun.
The Yuanying monk can come as soon as he wants, and he can leave as soon as he wants, and the puppet army formation that fights positional warfare cannot be restricted.
However, if the alien peacock is the core and the entire puppet array is pulled, this problem can be solved to a certain extent.
The strength of the alien spirit peacock is beyond the ordinary quasi-fourth-order puppet, and once it is integrated into the puppet array, its power can be greatly increased.
Since there is no place to test, it is difficult to say the specific combat power.
However, the puppet army formation with the alien spirit peacock as the core defeated Zixia Zhenjun, and Lu Changan still had some confidence.
After completing the puppet army array, Lu Chang'an had run out of third-order refining materials over the years, and even recovered some magic weapon trophy materials for this purpose.
It costs a lot of resources, but the harvest is worth it.
Now, even if there is no Diyan Monarch by his side, there is no need for the Fourth Immortal to come, Lu Changan can compete with Yuanying Zhenjun by relying on puppet skills alone.
"The 80,000 contributions have also been gathered, and you can return to the sect to exchange for the main medicine of the Infant Pill."
Lu Changan let out a long breath.
Over the years at the Fujiling Mine, the results have exceeded expectations.
In the future, his entire focus will be on preparing for the baby.
……
A few days later, Lu Chang'an was successfully transferred back to the Yunxia Sect, and the Tengling Mine was guarded by another Jiedan in the middle of the period.
After returning to the sect, the first thing Lu Changan did was not to visit Diyan Jun, but to visit Zixia Zhenjun.
It's not to show respect, but to redeem [Moonfall Flower] as soon as possible.
Late will change.
Even if [Moon Falling Flower] is the lowest value among the three main drugs of Huaying Pill, it is also a strategic resource monopolized by the Yuanying Sect.
As the main medicine for getting married, the difference between it and the auxiliary medicine is that the monk can take it directly, at least slightly increase the chance of being promoted to the first baby.
Among them, [Tianying Fruit] has the best effect, and the other two main drugs [Miluo Cao] and [Moon Falling Flower] are much inferior, and taking them directly has only a weak effect on getting married.
Zixia Peak Cave Mansion.
After a while, Lu Changan saw Zixia Zhenjun.
A purple fairy dress that is different from the past.
Jiang Ziyan changed into a white gauze dress at home today, and her wet hair fell like clouds. Just bathed out, Zixia Fairy's creamy white skin, moist and translucent, the beautiful arc of the chest, and the white gauze skirt cling, the silhouette looming.
Lu Changan bowed and saluted, restrained his gaze, and avoided offense.
He was strange in his heart, and inexplicably remembered Guan Qiaozhi, the concubine in this world, who had seduce himself in a similar gauze skirt in Huanglong Immortal City.
Could it be that this famous Zixia Fairy in the Middle Regions has a plan for herself?
Lu Chang'an's mind is racing, he is far away in a foreign land, and he must protect himself.
Fortunately, Zixia Zhenjun only showed charm and dignified manners, and did not transgress etiquette.
Knowing Lu Changan's intention, Zixia Zhenjun passed on the voice and ordered to go down.
Not long after, Hu Ang, who was in a heroic posture, took a flower plant under the silver moon from the forbidden place of the garden of the cave.
[Moonfall Flower] is planted in the spiritual field of the fourth-order spirit vein all year round to maintain its activity, and it is impossible for Zixia True Monarch to carry it with him all the time.
An elixir of this level, if there is no fourth-order spiritual vein, it is not easy to survive, and its growth is extremely slow.
In the fourth-order spiritual vein, it can mature in a thousand years; In the lower spiritual vein medicine field, it takes several times, or even ten times more time.
Therefore, even if ordinary forces and monks get seeds, it is difficult to cultivate them.
Hu Ang?
When Lu Changan saw this person, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, although he was a personal disciple of Zixia Zhenjun.
Zixia Zhenjun handed the [Moonfall Flower] to Lu Changan, and explained with a smile:
"The Lingzhi disciple who used to take care of the medicinal field of the cave is old, and it just so happened that Xiao Ang Luotong had a pharmacological Lingzhi and took the initiative to ask for it, but I didn't expect it to take care of it well."
"I see, Xiao Ang is versatile and a rare good seedling."
Lu Changan put away the [Moonfall Flower] and praised.
Hu Ang entered the main hall of the cave mansion and found the white gauze skirt, the hazy and charming Zixia Zhenjun, and his eyelids jumped slightly.
He knew very well that the Taoist priest was a dignified and reserved female cultivator, and almost never wore such a sexy and hazy dress.
When he saw [Moonfall Flower] and handed it to Xiang Dalong, Hu Ang was very dissatisfied.
Little Ang?
Hearing Xiang Dalong's name, Hu Ang was furious, but he didn't dare to show it.
And try your best to suppress your emotions and avoid being sensed.
"Elder Xiang praises falsely."
A smile appeared on Hu Ang's face, with his status and status, it was not suitable to stay longer, and he bowed down and retreated with interest.
Leaving the main hall of the cave, Hu Ang took a deep breath and suppressed the gloom in his heart.
"With Ziyan's character, she shouldn't betray the true monarch!"
"Now that the Great Snake Mountain is large and adjacent to the threat, the royal family has no good intentions. Ziyan is difficult to support alone, condescends to the noble, and woos Xiang Dalong to show closeness, which is understandable. ”
After rational analysis, Hu Ang understood the hardships of the Taoist couple, and most of the anger in his heart dissipated.
"Fortunately, this big dragon is dedicated to penance, mercenary, and not close to women."
……
After exchanging [Moonfall Flower], Zixia Zhenjun took the initiative to mention one thing, which was related to Diyanjun.
"Senior sister once brought a few third-order spirit rats with good bloodlines to Diyan Jun as companions and pastime for loneliness."
"However, Di Yanjun has never conceived an heir in the past few years, and he invited several famous doctors to check it, but no physical symptoms were found."
Third-order spirit rats with good bloodlines are rare. Zixia Zhenjun is through the connections of this sect, half of which is loaned.
The ground rock rat was promoted to the fourth-order demon king, and the mutated bloodline it possessed was extremely precious.
Zixia Zhenjun did this not simply to breed and get excellent spirit mouse blood.
If you can give birth to a bloodline heir, you can increase the sense of belonging of the ground rock rat to the sect.
What makes Jiang Ziyan depressed is.
Di Yanjun did not refuse the company of the spirit rats, and squeezed those male spirit rats dry, and they couldn't avoid them one by one. However, Jiiwa-kun never conceived an heir, which was a big disappointment.
"This is not the order of the junior brother. In the past three hundred years, before he came to the Great Abyss, the Earth Rock Monarch has always been like this. ”
Lu Changan smiled and said truthfully.
Zhou Qingxuan of the Royal Beast Zhou family once said that the behavior of the ground rock rat is likely to be imperceptibly influenced by the owner.
"The two of them have no heirs, which is rare in the world of cultivating immortals."
Zixia Zhenjun pursed her lips and chuckled, making a joke, and didn't dwell on the matter anymore.
The two chatted.
Whew!
A cloud of violent flying sand, emitting a huge earth-shattering demonic aura, enveloping the half-demon rat-like Earthrock Monarch, arrived at Zixia Peak.
Di Yanjun was wearing a purple and red robe, compared with his straightened shape many years ago, his face was a little rounder, and his figure was also a little fat.
"The master is back."
Seeing Lu Chang'an, Di Yanjun was in a happy mood, and the human voice he made was like a half-grown child.
"I've gained a lot of weight, are you lazy in your practice?"
Lu Changan smiled and patted Di Yanjun's head.
Di Yanjun was about the same height as him, and when he saw Lu Changan stretching out his hand, he bowed his head and waisted in cooperation, looking a little weak-hearted.
Compared with the previous diligent and penance, Di Yanjun, as a holy beast of the Zhenzong Sect, was served by others, there was no shortage of resources, and his life was too comfortable.
Although the cultivation has not been relaxed, it is not as hard as it was back then.
Lu Changan has no opinion on this.
The promotion of the Earth Rock Monarch to the Transformation Demon King is already a miracle by chance.
Its bloodline qualifications have been squeezed to the extreme, no matter how hard it tries, it is difficult to cross the higher upper realm.
After so many years of hard work, it is understandable to enjoy it appropriately.
……
"Senior Sister Jiang, after coming back this time, Senior Brother plans to go out in the future and go to various places in the Central Region to plan other resources for getting married."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Changan revealed his future plans in advance, so that Zixia Zhenjun could make arrangements.
"How many years will it take you to cultivate to the peak of the Jiedan?"
Zixia Zhenjun couldn't help but look at the landing Chang'an.
"About ten years."
Lu Changan knows his cultivation progress very well, and he is expected to be about 380 years old, and his cultivation will reach the peak of the late stage of Jindan.
Zixia Zhenjun counted the time and proposed:
"Two years later, it will be the decennial auction of Cloud Sky City, and at that time, it will gather Yuanying monks from all over the Central Region. If Senior Brother Xiang is not in a hurry, he can go with Senior Sister at that time, and I believe that he can gain something. ”
"Cloud Sky City's once-in-a-decade auction, junior brother has this intention."
Lu Changan readily agreed.
Twenty or thirty years ago, he went to Yuntian City for the first time, and at the Yuanying Exchange Meeting, he traded treasures.
This creates the conditions for the successful transformation of the ground rat behind it.
At that time, at the auction, Lu Changan's strength was not enough, so he didn't dare to be too high-profile, and the harvest was average.
Now, Lu Changan's strength and status have been greatly improved, and when he goes to Yuntian City again, he has a better chance of getting baby resources than other places.
Moreover, Cloud Sky City is also the place where Lu Changan and Jing Wufeng are in contact.
……
After returning to the Yunxia Sect, Lu Changan practiced quietly for another two years.
Except for the occasional drawing of talismans and divination, the puppets and refining bodies were temporarily put on hold.
Golems, running out of materials, don't have much room to improve.
Refining the body, staying at the peak of the third order for many years, there is no way to advance.
Affected by the environment of heaven and earth, refining the body to advance to the fourth order is much more difficult than conforming to a baby.
When you get married, you can also seek to turn into a baby pill and rob treasures and other foreign objects.
And the Heaven and Earth Treasure Materials that have been promoted to the fourth order of the refining body are almost extinct in today's era.
The only heaven and earth treasure material that Lu Changan had at hand that could help promote the fourth-order refining body was the [Blood Dragon Fruit], but it was far from enough.
This is still the compensation given by Jing Wufeng after coming out of the ancient secluded palace and "dividends".
Therefore, the promotion of refining the body to the fourth order can only be left after the achievement of the Yuan Infant in the future, and it may not be possible.
"Three hundred and eighty years old, with the last ten years left."
On this day, Lu Changan completed his routine cultivation, and felt that the evergreen mana in his body was faintly approaching the limit of the Jindan stage.
On the same day, Zixia Zhenjun's divine sense was transmitted, and the two of them were ready to set off for Yuntian City, the first immortal city in the Central Region.
"I hope that this trip to Cloud Sky City can make progress."
Lu Changan muttered to himself and flew out of the cave.
All kinds of resources for getting married, he got together seven, seven, eighty, eight.
In the last ten years, he planned to gather the remaining part to ensure that when he cultivated to the peak of Jindan, he could hit the Yuan Infant Stage at any time.
